Aany improvements were made
in (he buildings and grounds during
the past summer. A new infirmary
has been erected on die
campus, connected with the col
"lege by long, covered ways. The
cheerful rooms are furnished with
such reference to the comforts
of the sick that one of our Wii
liamsburg girls, a/ter her first experience
in these new qnalters,
declared it "the greatest relief to
get into the infirmary."
Converse is pre-eminently a col
lece for work. Yet, while work
stands first in the minds of all, the
students make it lheir constant
endeavor, by individual and organized
effort, to broaden college lite
and to enrich it in many possible
ways. The literary societies, the
1 Philosophian and Carlisle, may be
^-Characterized as corner-stones of
^Lthe' college. Besides affording
jj^Kreat pleasure and re la xat ion, these
^^Lcieties kindle slumbering sparks

pleasant feature of Converse life.
Phisica! culture is considered an
important part ot education.'
A marked characteristic of Converse
lite, indeed, is the is the in '
fimate and cordial relations that
I exist between teachers ami stu^,
dents. Each student finds in her
A teacher a sympathetic friend to
whom she confides ,jiot only lier
jAvs, but her griefs and perplexi
ties, always sure of an interested
listener. The chief concern of the
instructor seenifc to be to help the
student do her possible best. The
teacher is alwais a welcome visitor
in the halls.ol the societies and
is often an honored guest at the
, students' banquets. i
The chief literary expression
given to the life of the coilege is
found in the monthly journal?the
Coucept?and ip the college Ai nual.
Through college journalism
'are transmitted from one_ college
- to another, inspiration and friendly
intercourse. Students Viow
their appreciation of this fact^ by
giving their hearty support to
both Concept and Annual. \
The library is managed by the
two literary societies. A rapid inspection
of the shelves would
readilv reveal the kind of books
that Converse girls like to read
Macaulay, De Quincey, Carlyle,
' Bacon, Addisoji, Johnson, Slej>henson,
Swift^lhakespeare, Milton,
Bcott, i)r^Ha, Pope, Keats and!
others. The library has the un
mistakabfe element of lite?that
of growth. Valuable additions are
made every year; the new year
be ushered in by a number of
ynev^books?modern publications
; as w3i-*8 many reprints of the
classics^
fc Dur?"g the scholastic year a
regular couree^of lectures is delivered
in,the college chapel, by
- specialtists whichTMbough of interest
to members ofapme special

are given at regular intervals

A CARD.
Editor County Record:
I am forced to request another
short space through your valuable
paper to 'reply to Mr. Harper's
caid of last week. Among other
things, Mr. "Harper cited me to
stub No. 201 or 221 of the check
book in my office as proof to show
that my clerk, was paid for his
services as clerk from uboro.ved
fund." I have noticed same and
find that stub fs in my favor and
drawn on contingent and noticing
further to stub 221 I Hud thai
this check was in favor of Mr. W
W 11 Cockfield, therefore seems
that Mr. Harper "is not in it*'
here as it seems he has b?en all
along, i have admitted already
that there was one stub on the
check book in my office, marked
Contingent" transferred from
borrowed 'fund" in tny favor for
$50 and thex same was paid from j
contingent fund as the couutvl
Treasurer's book will show, and
if Mr. Harper or any other itrvesU
I{gating officer can prove that I
or mv clerk, as clerk for countv
7 V
supervisor,have received one cent
from "borrowed iuiid" then, and
not until then, will "I plead guilty.
I 4* - - - t l\o?* Mr I
II l!li!S IS IIUl ^ liivu^wi
H rper, won't you and the committee
appointed by the grand
jury of last year do me the spicial
tavor of meeting in my office at
your own appointed time for the
express purj5ose of re-investigating
this matter? 1 assure you it
will be a pleasure to me to meet
you, and if you have erred Jthen
confess it, and if I am in the wrong
I will do the same.
Now, Mr. Editor, like Mr. Hvin
one respect, "1 will not trouble I
you lor any more space unless
absolutely necessary."
Respectfully,
