  by J. Lewis Morrill (Continued)

Meetings of the alumni of the Department of Chemistry on October 15 and 16 attracted many to listen to valuable pa­pers. The College of Law dinner, October 15, was marked by the presence and addresses of Dean Roscoe Pound of the Col­lege of Law of Harvard University, and other distinguished lawyers. The Alumnae Rally, October 15, had as its chief speaker Mrs. M. B. Rosenberry, former Dean of Women of the University of Wisconsin.

Former editors, business managers, and staff workers on The Lantern held a special reunion luncheon in the Home Eco­nomics Building on the campus the noon of October 16. Brown­ing Dramatic Society alumnae met to renew acquaintance and memories at King Avenue Methodist Tabernacle near the campus. The "old boys" who once lived in the old North Dorm held informal reunion on the steps of Page Hall with Mrs. Clara Worcester, one-time matron and friend to all of them. This meeting followed immediately after the football game on Saturday of Jubilee Week.

Former Library Assistants, at least a hundred of them, staged their own reunion at the University Library on Thurs­day, October 14. Civil engineers, homoeopathic graduates, dentistry alumni, Sphinx grads, Sigma Xi members, and College of Education alumni were other groups who utilized the Semicentennial celebration as the occasion for reunion.

An event of historical interest was the gift to the University of the original Scarlet and Gray ribbons, chosen as official colors of the University in the late seventies. Doctor Curtis C. Howard '78, who had preserved the ribbons, was the donor, the ceremony taking place the night of October 12 at the home of Mrs. Alice Townshend Wing, Class of '80.
