to gel anyone interested in school work with June BO near and such a beautiful May outside. The one damping factor on the high spirits of all concerned is the fact that before the long expected fourth of June, exams must be put behind us. When this sudden idea enters the head of any member of the student body, instantly there is a feverish search for books and an intensive application to some very difficult subject matter for—oh! fifteen minutes, perhaps, then other things claim the attention. To get the full joy of the expected holidays, this fifteen minutes must be stretched to hours. No one can be happy with a "flunk" or two, and anyone who can pass examinations here without study is beyond the comprehension of most of us.
A Knitting Craze Sweeps Through Smith College Northampton, Mass.—A knitting craze has broken out like an epidemic at Smith College. Th)e more severe manifestations are as yet confined to dormitories, but it is feared that campus and classrooms may yet feel the effects of the sweep. In its wake are found such utilitarian articles as sweater suits rather than the more strictly domestic comforter. The most desolate locality in the stricken houses is the dining room. Students, according to a newly passed regulation, are not allowed to bring their knitting to meals, lest, perchance, the yarn become confused with the food, it said, including that food with the Italian name. The Victorian pastime is explained That May Day was a success every one by the victims, not as a return to agrees. That everyone enjoyed it, participants naive artlessness, but as a triumph and onlookers, is another point that is univerof sophistication.
Credit to Whom Credit Is Due
sally agreed on. When both success and enjoyment are derived at the same time it proves that someone has been a very efficient organizer and director. To the director of the Festival and her assistants much credit is due. They succeeded in making the May Festival this year one of the loveliest our college has ever had. Working against difficulties in presenting the Festival at some distance from the college, and in a place that had never been used as a May Day setting before those in charge accomplished this feat with an unusual amount of smoothness and lack of friction. Transportation for the participants was j arranged so that not a minute was lost. Everyone was on time, and everyone attended to her own business. Only through the cooperation of everyone could May Day have been a success, an overwhelming success. The entire student body is to be congratulated on the production which resulted from the combined efforts of each member of the student body.
We Accept the Challenge A Tribute to Mother When the new Rotunda staff met for the first time last week they realized to the fullest extent the significance of their position in relation to the college and to the ideals of S. T. C. They realize that theirs is a responsible position in putting in print articles representative and worthy of our Alma Mater. The stall's which have served before us have set the pace, and we shall endeavor to keep pace with them. and if possible- even pass them. As Etta said at the Student Government Installation service, "The Council can be no better than the student body," so can we say, 'The Rotunda can be no better than its stair, and the staff can be no better than the student body." The Rotunda is your paper. You can make of it what you wish. If there is any criticism to be made we would appreciate it if it could be made directly to us, and we will endeavor to improve over our faults. We ask for your cooperation, and sincerely pledge our service to our Alma Mater.
A Hint to the Wise Everywhere one turns these days, one hears "Only four more weeks." uttered in tones of joyous hilarity by most freshmen and some upper Classmen in tones Of deepest dejection by seniors and sophomores who do not expect to come back. The last three weeks of meeting classes will probably be the hardest of the year for the faculty because at this time it is hardest

There is an old saying that "God couldn't be everywhere, so He made a Mother." Mother. That delicate word, bathed in Heaven's own dew, stirs the infinite pulsations of our hearts by tender memories and captivating dreams of our childhood. And now we stand on the brink of the stormy sea of life. Hut Mother has transmuted the omnious roar of the mighty waters into a challenge to great deeds and great goals by her sympathy in OUT failures and her happiness in ; our successes. The best thinkers in all ages acknowledge the supremacy of the maternal buffeting the ; changeable throb of life. The immortal Lincoln ' said, "All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my Angel Mother." To this add the tribute of Napoleon, "Let Prance have good mothers and she will have good sons." Wallace said, "The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world." Such declarations can be duplicated over and over again from the literature of all countries and all times. So let us pause, a moment, and offer a breathing prayer of gratitude for the unfathomable love in a Mother's eyes, the gentle chidings of her voice, the caressing touch of her weary hands, the secret hopes and supplications of her heart, for these have woven a golden web that will ever keep us one in heart, in ideals, and in faith.
More Bachelors A movement for the total abstinence from the use of cosmetics and razors has been started by the students of the University of Arizona. Money saving, to say the least, and if the co-eds can stand it, I guess that the rest of the student body should. Anyway you can get a lowdown on how the fair one will look across the breakfast table in the mornings before she had had time to apply the mask.—The Plainsman.

lay night, after Y. W. C. A. installati .n, Dr. Jarman talked to the Btudenl l.ody on the subject of class dues. Dr. .human appealed to the honor i denta in such a way as to bring direct and hearty response. He explained that class dues were not just another unreasonable expense, but a real debt of honor. His talk was in keeping with the solemnity of the Y. W. G. A. installation and his serious straight-forward words impressed the students for more than any criticism of them would have. More than one student resolved to pay her dues, after this talk, judging from the fervor with which they sang, "What's the Matter with Jarman? He's alll right!"

On many a campus in the South, students are asking, "Shall I go to Blue Ridge this summer?" Once they have been to a conference there the question is not "Shall I go?" but "How can I go again?" What is it that Blue Ridge has to offer which makes hundreds of students long to return? To those who live in the lowlands Blue Ridge offers the stimulating atmophere of a high altitude; a chance for mountain climbing; after the hurry of college life the peace and calm of the eternal hills; a new realization of the greatness of God as one Bees the splendor of his creation; a Dew ■ use of things which are of real value. Blue Ridge offer a venture in friendship ten days of association wi'h students from other colleges with whom problems are discussed, projects planned and friendships formed. It offers an opportunity to broaden one's outlook through contacts with students from other nations; to know some thing of great international organizations and movements. It offers us the chance to talk with older men and women who are keenly alive to world problems and who gladly share with us their thought and experience. It challenges us with the compelling idea of a world which knows DO discrimination of race, class, cried or nation: of seeking to make Jesus' law of Love effective in life's relationships: of experiencing "full and creative life through a growing knowledge of God." From the service of worship which ins the day to the group meetings at night, there is much which will appeal to every student: Workshop hours for cabinet members to discuss problems and work out plans for a more effective Y. W. C. A. on the campus next year: Studio hours for the delightful pursuit of one's favorite hobby; quiet trips to places of interest much which goes to make an integrated personality, so, "Why not go to Blue Ridge?"
