INFORMAL TEA AT COLLEGE HALL

One of the pleasantest events of the winter term was held at the College Club, Monday, March 28, when President and Mrs. Nichols received the faculty and undergraduates of the College. They were assisted by the ladies of the faculty, who poured tea. This reception was the first social event of this particular kind which the undergraduate body has enjoyed.

The living room assumed an air of bright cheerfulness quite different from its every-day quiet color. Two long tables, one at either side of the room, sparkled with silver tea service and flowers. At one of the tables Mrs. J. K. Lord, Mrs. Burton, and Mrs. Keyes served tea. Mrs. G. D. Lord, Mrs. C. D. Adams, and Mrs. Husband were in charge of the second table. Six daughters of faculty members assisted at the tables: Misses Tucker, DeNancrede, Worthen, Hazen, Emily Emerson, and Margaret Sherman. The floral decorations were azaleas and pinks.

The student attendance at the reception showed appreciation in spite of the undergraduate conservatism which usually hesitates on the first occasion of this kind. Such receptions will probably be given two or three times each year in the future.
