her beloved Greece to dig up a few more facts about Simonodes.
Marguerite Hallsted, '10, is our one artistic member. She attended
an art school in New York for a time and then did designing. H o w -
ever, she worked too hard and is just now taking a much needed rest.
Epsilon has one medical alumna who w i l l become a full-fledged
doctor i n the spring. W e shall a l l have reason to be proud of
Edvige Dragonnetti some day, I know, f o r she is f u l l of enthusiasm

men. A n d as f o r myself, I am w o r k i n g very hard preparing to
inflict my services as a secretary upon some business or professional
person.

the elusive pronoun and the friendly adjective and adverb, the du-
bious preposition and the slippery conjunction to be named and
classified. They have been shown

"The glory that was Greece
And the grandeur that was Rome"

in translation; and their u n w i l l i n g feet have been led through the
flowery, i f somewhat damp, fields where browses Pegasus. T h e n
after two years i n this normal terrestial paradise have I driven
them f o r t h , w i t h a pen, mightier than a flaming sword, to earn
their bread.

I n free hours I have given talks on Italian saints, on Spanish
