Miss Jackson - Pres. of the Senior class - had fixed herself up

so that she was the perfect image of Bryan - at least her face was. And she acted her part perfectly. The speeches - were all very good - and everybody had a fine time.
On Sunday - I went up to the College in Main Hall to dinner with Miss Malvin a Freshman - and a sister of Morris's room-mate at Rutgers. You can't imagine how queer it was to be la a dining room with four hundred girls. It really was not so noisy as...
