One might raise the same April, May. sort of question regarding the University. How can we make more people aware of V.U. and what it is seeking to do? There are several answers. First, each of us can speak up for the University and tell its story. We can describe its beautiful Chapel and other buildings, or talk about its library, or outline the various courses of study in its six colleges and graduate program. We can clear up misunderstandings about the Uni Officers versity and indicate where fu rther information should be obtained. Editor ...... Mrs. E. H.

"I know there isn't space enough to write everything I would like to say, but I just wanted to let you and the Guild women know that I appreciate so very much your prayers, notes, etc. during my recent surgery. I had cards (with notes from so many from all over the U.S.). If possible, please include this thank you in the next Guild Bulletin. I have made very good progress and even at tended the Lenten service at church last evening." Peace and Love - Joyce. 18 Nutmeg State The Rev. Harold H.
