At Moravian College and Seminary^ for Women, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, they have a unique form of hazing.

The Family Takes a Hand While her daughter was recovering from an operation, Mrs. James Gorton attended classes at Boston University and relayed the information to her in order that she may not lose any credit toward her degree. This recalls another instance where several generations of one family attended an institution together. Southern Methodist University had a grandmother, a mother, and a daughter in its student body at one time, all working for degrees. The Ideal Examination At Dartmouth, Robert Frost, the poet, was giving a course in poetry. The authorities insisted that he give* a final examination. Frost didn't care to, but, as he was under orders, he went to tlfe blackboard, and wrote, "Do the thing that you think will please me most." Some students composed original poems; others wrote critical essays; some praised the professor. One student taking the professor at his word, simply got up and walked out. Poet Frost afterward revealed that the latter student had done the correct thing. Agnes Scott girls are boosting southern industry by using cotton hose costing the small sum of 25 cents. They say that they are cheaper, and awfully warm on cold days.

' Wake Forest College in North Carolina calls itself an incubator for college presidents. Thirty-six alumni are honored with presidencies of colleges in the South. In South Carolina, President E. W. Sitces, of Clemson, and President Carlyle Campbell, of Coker, are two of its distinguished graduates. "The Daily Nebraskan" finds that women students have higher grades than men. They give every reason for this except superior intelligence. The Harvard Crimson boasts that 57 per cent of the married Radcliffe women have chosen husbands from Harvard?but 95 per cent never get married.
