That Rollins has been well received by the sister republic in a source of much satisfaction and a factor which will undoubtedly have much to do in determining future international athletic contests. That the "Rollins Excur- sion" proved a splendid holiday celebration for the teams and scores of rooters who accompany them, will set a precedent that will soon become a tradition for the Blue and Gold and add a unique attraction to the Rollins appeal.

MISS JESSE PEDRICK Promising young pianist of New York, who gave a recital in Knowles Hall, Dec. 18. She is a graduate of the Rollins Conservatory, having been a pupil of Marion Rous. Miss Pedrick was warmly received in her initial concert here and was also the honor guest at a reception given on Dec. 20 by another Rollins girl, Mrs. H. H.

started on her road to musical success under the tutelage of another Rollins girl, Miss Florida Howard of Orlando. Later, as a pupil of Marion Rous, head of the Piano Department at that time, Miss Ped- rick forged ahead in her chosen profession and after having completed the course pre- scribed by the late Susan Hart Dyer, ac- companied Miss Dyer and Miss Rous to New York to study under that great master Ernest Hutcheson. Miss Pedrick's arrival in New York marked another milestone along the pathway to success. The Juilliard Foundation, one of the most important musical institutions in the East, yielded to what Miss Pedrick's friends have come to look upon as her magic touch, and awarded her the highest scholarship at its disposal. For the first time in the history of the Juilliard Foundation the prize was won for a second time the following year by this RoKins girl.

Distinguished Floridian and trustee of Rollins College, who is extending the Rollins influence to the high schools of this state by offering gold medals to winners of the annual essay contest held during Founders' Week. Mr. Bacheller is tremendously interested in young people and has given to Amer- ica, in his latest book, "The Scudders," a keen satire on the follies of fash- ionable life, the fads and excesses of the young people of the day. Mr. Bacheller is also rendering a great service to Rollins students by bringing to the chapel on Sunday evenings, eminent men with inspirational messages.
