SMOKE TALK SERIES

Lieutenant William Sewall '17, just returned from the French front, was the first speaker in the annual series of smoke talks, conducted this year under the auspices of the Christian Association. Lieutenant Sewall came to Hanover January 25 and talked on his personal experiences in the trenches, emphasizing particularly the humorous aspects of the war. The second speaker in the series was Charles H. Donohue, secretary of the class of 1899, who entertained a body of undergraduates the following Saturday with a talk on "Class Spirit: How To Foster It." Captain W. R. Smythe of the college Physics Department was secured as speaker for February 8. Having served abroad in the artillery for more than a year and having taken an active part in the final Meuse drive, Captain Smythe was well fitted to present to his audience a detailed description of the war's closing campaigns.
