had arranged for three lectures, but
after the second lecture he surprised
me by putting the matter of a fourth
lecture before the school. This made
possible the regular course.
A conference hour and an hour
spent with Professor Rogers' class
in Sociology, were among the interesting
things to me. I spent the hour
with the class in tearing the heart
out of materialistic psychology, which
is the condition of the ordinary texthook
on the subject. I sometimes

in our colleges to retain their

happy time with games and music, we
were invited into the dining room,
where we were served a most delicious
oyster supper. This part of the
programme was presided over by Miss
Mabel Dickey and it was the unanimous
opinion that in the culinary
line Miss Dickey is second to none.
We enjoyed the visit of these young

come again.
