Somerset Y.—President, Merle Mosier, A 0 n .

I t is difficult to clear a space on my desk large enough to give me
room to write, and it is practically impossible for anyone to write
any sort of a chapter letter when she got here just the day before,
and is stopped at frequent intervals to greet some later comer, whose
voice she hears v i b r a t i n g down the corridor f o r the first time i n three
months! Who would expect anything intelligible under such con-
ditions? We have heard that our old Elsa Guerdrum has come back
to us to increase our f a c u l t y members, as Mrs. A l l e n — b u t few of us
have seen her yet. W e have had one short meeting to impress upon
us the stringency of the new rushing rules—Cornell, after dallying
w i t h a t w o or three months' rushing season f o r several years, has
reverted to a six weeks' season, w i t h rushing f o u r days a week f r o m
two to six, and pledge day on November fifth. Guy Eawkes Day
is an especially appropriate day for pledging, is it not? There are,
as usual, many attractive girls among the new freshmen, though our
acquaintance w i t h them is almost l i m i t e d to two teas—so f a r . But
after the rush of getting settled and registered, the rushing of
freshmen w i l l begin, as feverishly, I suppose, as the rules w i l l per-
mit. We have a new problem to meet this year—that of rushing in
two dormitories—since our new one, Prudence Risley H a l l , has just
been opened. But that has at least the advantage of concentrating
all the "frosh" in two buildings instead of scattering half of them
over the entire town.

A n d that, I think, is a l l I have to tell you after two days' sojourn
here. Our heartiest wishes for a successful year go with this letter
to all our sisters.
