snow, like time and tide, waits for no man. The glowing March
sun, and warm south winds have robbed us of our last hope. Now
we are anticipating Mayflowers and Dorothy Safford.

A happy Easter to all Alpha O's.

With our ire somewhat aroused by some of the charges made by
Miss Rickert in the Century, we are glad to be able to announce
that Epsilon's general average for the first semester was 82.6. We
have now settled down to the steady work of the second term—and
are about to finish the first "heat," as it were: that is, we are looking
forward to a deluge of "prelimes" in the next two weeks. Our spring
vacation occurs the first week in A p r i l ; and immediately after that,
Epsilon will be in a frenzied rush of preparation for our formal
dance, which is to take place on April seventeenth. We had just
about worked ourselves up to the highest pitch of anticipation, ex-
pecting it to be on March twenty-seventh—the invitations were al-
ready ordered, when the Cosmopolitan Club—of the men of the
university announced that they were to have a big entertainment on
that day, and that they would be pleased to have the women of the
university co-operate with them. Since this is the first time that
the women have been recognized as a body by the men, it was of
course, hopeless to think of having our dance at that time; so we
shifted our date, and are now racking our brains for some suggestions
to offer as a possible kind of entertainment to be produced on such
short notice.

It has always been the custom among the girls, for each class
to give a 'stunt,' in a dramatic way, for the other classes and for
invited guests, men not being admitted unless they are married and
middle aged. The seniors this year dispensed with this stunt and
turned their energies upon the Cafe Chantant, at which we women
cleared five hundred dollars for the Sports and Pastimes Association.
So when the junior stunt occurred last Saturday, it was the first of
the year, and everybody pronounced it to be a great success.

While we welcome spring, we rather hate to see winter go and
put an end to the tobogganing and skating that make one of the
