• AN ACCOUNT of the long friendship with the college. of Mrs. S. H. Williams of Glastonbury, Connecticut, should be of great interest to alumnae. 1\11 rs. Williams has been a devoted friend of the college since 1910, when as president of the Hartford College Club she appointed the first committee and made the first contribution for the cause. As an incorporator and a member of the Board of Trustees since the foundation of the college she has served on many important committees, such as the first furnish- ing committee, the committee which nominated President Blunt, and the Arboretum committee of which she has been chairman for many years. One need only visit this beautiful development to realize the time and energy which must have been spent upon it, and in 1\I1r. Avery's opinion much of the credit is due to Mrs. Williams. Over a period of more than thirty years, when demands on her time and strength have been excessive, Mrs. Williams has given unstintingly of both time and mane)' to aid needy students and to make Connecticut College a success. As the last active member of the founders of the college she cannot receive too great appreciation for her long period of service. ELiZABETH WRIGHT

Found no shade nor barrier. Gentle-hearted, loving, he N a glib words in my distress Knew my pain ~nd spoke to me. Rose to hide my shabbiness. "Co-ne," he said, and took my hand, III will make you understand Only light; all-lambent, mild Miracle and mystery." Grew around me and the Child; Then he smiled and taught my eyes Grew, till Child and I were one Lost delight and swift surprise j Lost in still cormunion. Gave to me in one deep glance For a brerth, i'~I.~vindless flame, Recompense for circumstance; Perfect speech and answer carne. Helped me see, through common day, All the lights 01 Heaven play. Then-ah, thJ unworthy, weak, Shrink I must a~ld, hide-and speak. Then he led me through the line- "Child-," I said. The frightened word Arbitrary, man-made line- Broke the dream. The silence stirred. Betwee'n the human and divine. "Child :" [ cried-but I was hurled Out of Time, out of Space, Back to the cha~s 01 the world. To a still and starry place Bitter an~uish seized my heart, Where the air forever rings Hearing silence lfall apart. With the song that no man sings; Where the things we cannot tell Shake the silence like a bell. Grave and swee , shy and wild, As I listened, wordless, dumb, Through In Time I seek that Child; Once again he whispered, "Corne." Through all speech I call his name, Whose own speech is silent flame. Then I knew that this would" be Knowing well, knowing well, Ultimate Reality; How lance from Heaven fell; By the pressure of his hand How the word I spoke, to hide, Knew the Child's supreme demand. Drove the Angel from my side; Knew, and sought in mortal fear How that word's inconstancy Shield or screen. Not here! Not here! Steadfast Love estranged from me.
