The importance of plans made far in advance, and the need of hospitality committees were stressed. Close cooperation between the clubs and the Admis- sions Office not only keeps alumnae well informed, but gives support to the important responsibility of all alumnae groups to encourage further communication between pro- spective students and the College. It was recommended that a committee made up of representatives of the clubs, the Admissions Office, and the Alumnae Office be appointed to review this matter and recommend general methods of procedure. In addition to contacts with prospective students and schools, the line of communication between the College and the community is seen in the increase of speakers from Quartet: Btlird, Strider, Jones, Laubenstein, Destler the local areas, such as the Commissioner of Education on the program of the Meriden-Wallingford club.

THE FUNCTION OF EDUCATION This year saw a departure from the usual lecture series held during the Freshman-Sophomore Week at the begin- ning of the second semester. In the past, the principal aim of the lectures was to aid freshmen and sophomores in the selection of their major fields by presenting speakers from each of the three large groups of study-the humani- ties, the natural and physical sciences, and the social sciences. This year the lectures stressed the significance and function of a liberal education in the contemporary world. Chosen from the fields of humanities, natural sci- ences, and social sciences, the speakers were as follows: John Alexander Hutchison, Cluett professor of religion at Williams College, who spoke on "Religion and Educa- tion"; Paul Alfred Weiss, professor of zoology at the Uni- Dean Burdick, mistreJS of ceremonies, Alice Ramsey, "student versity of Chicago, who spoke on "Science and Education"; guide,," !Iud Anbnr Quimby, "student. piallisl," caught III rather seits-o-irenic momeillS.
