She thanked the girls of her Alma Mater for the spirit of cooperation which had been shown throughout the year and wished for the new president the same pleasure and joy in serving that she had experienced. It was with sorrow and gladness that the new President, Lama \. Smith was installed. The vice-presidents were next to ex change places. AJlie Oliver who servi d this office last year met the ingoing Officer, "Jim" Simpson, in the center of the platform and taking from her arm the blue and white colors of 8. T.

In a like manner and with a wish for even more success during the coming year than was had in the past year the old officers installed the girls who will serve in their several places.

NEW INSTRUMENT IS ANNOUNCED Instrument makers have long attempted to achieve line tone-divisions, only to be hampered at each turn by man's clumsiness. The possibilities of the violin, for example, are limited to quarter tones due to the breadth of man's lingers. Last week two Massachusetts Institute of Technology professors, Arthur Cobb Hardy, and Sherwood F. Brown, announced a new instrument which takes the burden of precision off man, puts it on electrical apparatus. No strings, no vibrating air columns are in their invention, which may I be compared to the reproduction apparatus for movietone talking pictures.—Time.
at an Improvised banquet hall in the colonnade. Many guests called both ii S. T. ('. and Hampden-Sydney. Patrons of music week also round refreshment in the delicious food, picturesque jpot, and restful music. Sev( ral members of the faculty honored the festival with their presence. Given as a means of increasing their treasury, the lawn fete sponsored by this group of freshmen afforded a delightful evening for a host of people. To the soft strains of "Kiss Me Again," and caressed by the cool in ezes from a beautiful campus of which they enjoyed a wide view, the diners partook of tasty morsels prepared by the Commission's cooks themselves.
Indeed, Joan smiled down upon a cool, contented, and conversational throng, and happy was the Maid of Orleans when purple flag lilies and girlish faces smiled back. Since this fete was so enjoyed anOther would surely ge welcome.

Study-Hour Conscience The question of whether or not open study hours is a success automatically faces one al the close of this school year. Whether it lias been a success is determined by the individual, and not by the Student Council. Faculty or Home Department. Therefore, girls, try to answer this problem in your own way for \ ourself. What lias study hour really meant to you this year? Have you had the right attitude toward the privilege given you, or have you abused it'.' Each one of us when leaving another girl's room, should feel that someone has been helped rather than hindered by our action. Some girls do not seem to realize that the only difference hit ween (dosed and open study hour is that under the latter we do not have to get permission to visit a girl's room. Our one reason for visiting another room should be to acquire help or e help for some class or for some important reason. Have we missed the aim of open study hour? When the bell rings for study hour we should have a different feeling about the time from then until study hour is over. There's a difference "in the air". The second thought, that it is study hour, stops you from doing something that you would like very much to do. Have yon ever thought this may be due to a study hour "conscience 7 Train yourself to listen when that study hour conscience
