to substitute something humane for that mediaeval Employer's
Liability Law. She is the only woman on the Commission, and is
secretary.

Helen Hoy, '03, is president of the Co-operative Suffrage League,
and she originated the clever idea of raising funds and furthering
the cause by selling suffrage stamps, which you all should buy.

Mabel Witte, '10, passed the best "contract examination" in the
law school and since 2/3 flunked and none even approached her, you
may guess that is an honor.

Ida Raub, '02, has added to her innumerable vocations, that of
sculptor, and of course being a N u girl, her first production was a
suffragette.

Helen Ranlett, '09, Pricilla Myres, '09, and Marion Cotbren, '10,

have been admitted to the Bar , —and i f it weren't such bad

form to sing our own praises we would tell you more of the honors

that are simply thrust upon us,—but the rest will keep.

PI. NEWCOMB COLLEGE
The calendar on my desk reminds me that the college year is well
advanced, and still the glorious opening day of college seems but
yesterday. Weren't we proud of our senior, Innes Morris, when she
marched into chapel adorned with the insignia of a senior, and look-

Renshaw, Art '12,—there they are. As you walk through Newcomb
halls you hear a dignified Professor say with enthusiasm, "She is a
gem!" Pass on, he is merely talking of Marguerite. It's a habit.
Cross the campus and stand near that group of excited sophomores;
they are discussing class elections; go to the next, it's just the same!
you wonder i f anyone but Cora will hold an office ? Very few do!
Then you reach the Art School; the hall is somewhat cluttered with
