small in numbers but strong in spirit. Mary Pearce who was forced
to go home last year on account of i l l health is living here and taking
her usual active part in chapter work. Sus Gillean, '03, is teaching
at Newcomb and is the life of the chapter. Rochelle Gachet, '09,
is editor-in-chief for Newcomb on the University Weekly; May
Thomas is vice-president of ' 1 1 ; Innes Morris is chairman of the
Y. W. C. A. intercollegiate committee, and Dorothy Safford, '10,
is chairman of the social committee of Y. W. C. A. I t is better not
to speak of the various clubs to which each belong for the question
will arise, "When do the Newcomb girls study?" I t is difficult for an
outsider to understand the fulness of a Newcomb girl's life, for in
almost all other colleges social interests are divided among a large
number of girls. Newcomb "is a small college but there are those

     Nu chapter lost two girls through graduation, Eve Radtke and
Helen Potter, though both are back this year doing undergraduate
work, as is Florence Bruning, '07, who together with Helen Ranlett,
Edith Cothren and Virginia Meyers constitute the active part of the
chapter this winter.

     Edith Cothren was a special student in 1906, after which she
dropped out until this year, when she has returned and enrolled as
a regular first year student in line for her LL.B. in 1909.

     On June 15 the chapter had its annual spring dinner followed by
the election of officers at the N . Y. Yacht Club House, 86th Street and
Riverside Drive. Helen Ranlett is president, Virginia Meyers, vice-
president, Helen Potter, secretary, and Florence Bruning, treasurer.

    On October 4 we met again in the fraternity rooms for our fall
reunion. Sixteen were present at the spread at 6 o'clock, when plans
were made for work this winter.

    Omicron has to announce the smallest chapter that we have had
in several years. The session opened with five old girls, and on
October 10 we- initiated Marjorie Hewitt Pease, of Johnson City,
Tenn.

     Our large sister chapters may think it strange that we have so
few members, but perhaps they will better understand when we
tell them that this year there are only fifty-four girls in the univer-
