HIS IS Barbara Lee speaking-to T undergraduate Kappas who, like myself, entered college in order to pre pare themselves for a vocation. At least it would be nice to come out with a vocation, but if the next three or four years continue with the same business complexion as the past four, that voca tion will probably be called "job" for short. Well, why not? "Job" is a good, substantial-sounding word. It means that you get paid for your time, and the things I have to say to undergradu ate Kappas apply solely to those who will need pay for their time. (My job is radio-advertising. We'll talk about that later.) Now, at the invitation of Kappa's new vocational guidance bureau, I'm going to answer a few specific ques tions.

THE KEY is privileged to publish the accompanying article by Dudley Crafts Watson, father of .Augusta Watson Weir, Upsilon. From Virginia Bixby Whitney, "f, comes this story of how the North Shore association undertook the lecture series by Mr. Watson, which resulted in a gift of $70 to the Rose McGill fund: "The North Shore association was particularly interested in the philanthropic ventures of Kappa nationally. Most of us, living close to the Cradle and knowing the exceptionally splendid work that is done there not only in giving babies a chance for existence but also in the advancement of pediatrics by the able physicians who donate their service, were naturally anxious to see something done for this organization if the Kappas were going to adopt an 'outside philanthropy.' And then [at co!lvention] we heard Marion Cheno weth's inspiring report of the Rose McGill fund. "That night Gussie and I lay in our beds in Old Faithful inn talking-talking about all sorts of things, but constantly we came back to how thrilled we were with Mrs. Cheno weth's work and in some way we hit upon the idea of Gussie's Dad giving a series of lectures on interior decoration, if it met with the approval of our board, the proceeds to be divided between the Rose McGill fund and the Cradle. Tlius our appeal would be to Kappas and non-Kappas. "Gussie's Dad has been for a number of years chief CUlt lecturer for the Art Institute of Chicago, art lecturer for the Century of Progress art exhibit, a noted traveler, art critic, artist (one of his paintings is hanging in the K K r house in Evanston), radio speaker and a Chicago personality. We were indeed fortunate that one of our members had a father of such prominence and ability as Dudley Crafts Watson. It was entirely through Mr. Watson's generosity that we were able to have a series of three lectures on interior deco ration at the Kappa house for $2. Each Tuesday at 11 in the morning during November found the house packed. Looking over the group we saw many more taking notes than knitting. It was an enjoyable three mornings and all who attended expressed regret that they were over. "We felt we attained more than the money which we were able to send to Mrs. Cheno weth and Mrs. Walwrath of the Cradle as a Christmas present for their organizations. Mr. Watson in his genial manner created a true feeling of enthusiasm, interest and spirit of cooperation. We were certainly amply repaid for all the effort which was expended to make the lectures a success. Betty Henry and Marjorie Evans, as co-chairmen, aided by Jane Blades, Jean Fisher, Julianna Holmes and the ticket salesmen deserve all the credit for the success of this venture.''
