NOTICE. Perhaps it would be useful to explain again what is the difference between membership of St. Hugh's College and membership of St. Hugh's Club. Those old students of St. Hugh's are members of the College who have resided two years and passed a Final examination, Pass or Honours, and have paid a subscription of 5s. a year or ÂŁ3 ios. life subscription. This is paid to Miss Greenwood, 334, Banbury Road, Oxford, Honorary Secretary to the Council. It will be observed that Honour Moderations without the Final examination does not qualify. This membership confers the right to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting of the College, held in Oxford at the end of the Summer Term ; also to receive the annual report of the College.

St. Hugh's Club is a social club, to which students before 1914, and students who have subsequently resided three terms, are entitled to belong, provided they pay is. 6d. a year, or 15s. life subscription to the Club Treasurer, whose name and address are given in the Club Paper. This membership conveys the right to attend and vote at all Club meetings, and to receive the annual Club Paper.

REPORTS OF ST. HUGH'S COLLEGE COUNCIL, 1913-14.

The main business of the academic year has naturally been the planning of the new College buildings at the corner of Banbury Road and St. Margaret's Road, and the effort necessary to raise funds for them. The plans, drawn up by Messrs. Buckland, Haywood and Farmer, architects, of Birmingham, provide space for a considerable increase in the number of students, and comprise a fine

16 dining-hall with a library above it, and ample common rooms. Upstairs, the smallest rooms are not the least interesting, perhaps, in the form of students' pantries, where crockery, etc., may be stored and washed up. It was unfortunate that a building strike prevented our contractor (Mr. Moss, of Loughborough) from getting to work, as fast as he would have liked, but before the end of June the clearance of the ground had begun by cutting down shrubs and trees, and pulling down the old house, while, out of sight, a great provision of door and window-frames and other woodwork and metalwork was put in hand, in order that, when the masons should consent to work, the whole would be able to progress rapidly, so as to be ready for habitation by October, 1915.

The main part of the funds were to be raised by loans, on which four per cent. interest would be paid. Friends had already come forward with encouraging offers, and the prospects of the new College building were therefore roseate at the conclusion of the Summer Term.

In spite of the financial war crisis, which affects all building disastrously, the College buildings are not being stopped. Even if the whole of the plans cannot be carried out at once, we have every hope that the necessary portions will still be completed by the time originally contemplated, October, 1915.

ALICE D. GREENWOOD,

Hon. Sec. to the St. Hugh's College Council.

A gift of ÂŁ300 from the St. Hugh's Club Endowment Fund has been received by the Treasurer of the Council, together with nearly as much again in separate sums direct from old and present students, a very generous response to the appeal made to the help of members of the College. St. Hugh's needs all the money, both in gifts and loans, that can be spared at this critical time, though we all realize the urgency of national claims, which come first in time of war.

Of outgoing members of Council we lose with regret Archdeacon Wild and Mr. W. H. Moberly. Their places have been filled by Miss Batchelor and Mr. Carew Hunt.

The Council have sanctioned the opening of a fourth house as a temporary measure to accommodate ten more students.

E. F. JOURDAIN.

17 MINUTES. An Autumn Meeting of St. Hugh's Club was held on October 4, 1913, at the Ladies' University Club, Miss Moberly, President, in the chair.

I. Misses Druitt, Ibberson, Porcher, and Southwell were the new Committee Members elected.

II. Miss Godwin read the Report of the Endowment Fund SubCommittee for the year, which stated that the Committee had met twice, and that in response to their appeals ÂŁ250 odd had already been subscribed. The Committee at the last meeting had decided to recommend that for the present the Endowment Fund be kept distinct from the College Building Fund. Miss Crick proposed and Miss Ady seconded the adoption of this Report.

III. Miss Godwin next, in the name of the Committee, withdrew the motion, " That the Club make itself responsible for a definite part of the New College Building."

IV. Miss Godwin then read a letter from the Secretary of the College Council on the part of the Chairman. This letter asked that the money from the Endowment Fund should be paid into the College Building Fund, in order that it might help to pay off some of the interest on the loans raised to purchase the site.

V. After considerable discussion, Mrs. Bowen-Colthurst proposed and Miss Knipe seconded, " That the Club accede to the Presi' dent's request, namely, that the St. Hugh's Club Endowment Fund be paid into the College Building Fund, subject to certain conditions."

Miss Prideaux proposed and Miss Jourdain seconded, "That the first of these conditions be : ' With the donor's consent.'"

Miss Dobbs then proposed, and Miss Jourdain seconded, "That as a second condition the Council of St. Hugh's College be asked to empower the St. Hugh's College Appeal Committee to co-opt Miss Prideaux as representative of St. Hugh's Club Endowment Fund."

Miss Godwin then proposed and Miss Knipe seconded, " That as a third condition the Committee be dissolved after the present sum has been handed over to the St. Hugh's College Appeal Committee with the conditions imposed by the St. Hugh's Club, and be reconstituted as the Club Building Fund Committee."

These resolutions were carried nem. con.

VI. Miss Prideaux then proposed and Miss Knipe seconded the Notice of the Motion, " That the Club Paper be issued at such a **

18 time as makes it possible for the names of officers for the ensuing year to be quoted therein ; the most convenient date to be suggested at the meeting."

Miss Dobbs, seconded by Miss Herdman, moved an amendment, "That instead of the above motion the Elections be held in April."

Miss Deneke, seconded by Miss Bebb, moved a further amendment, " That the Club Paper be issued immediately after the October Meeting."

An Emergency General Meeting of St. Hugh's Club was held at St. Hugh's College on December 6, 1913, the President in the chair.

After considerable discussion the following Motions were passed : "That the Money collected by the Sub-Committee of the Club, called The Endowment Fund Committee,' shall be paid into the College banking account for the Building Fund without delay and without conditions."

(2) " That when the Council decides to build the College, and the whole cost shall be known, and the whole sum collected can be calculated, the Council be asked whether student-members of the College, and other students who have paid money towards it through whatever channel, may be considered to have erected some part of the College buildings which may be covered by the money contributed by themselves."

(3) " That all old students be urged to do their utmost to make themselves centres for the collection of sums, large and small, from persons outside the Club, and that they put them into the St. Hugh's College Building Fund, in their own names if preferred ; and that a form of appeal for this purpose be submitted first for the approval of the Club Committee."

Subsequently, as the Endowment Fund Sub-Committee had been somewhat severely criticized for its actions, and for its attitude to the College, Miss Dobbs, in the name of the Sub-Committee, moved an expression of loyalty to the College, and to the Principal of the College.

The Twenty-sixth General Meeting of St. Hugh's Club was held at St. Hugh's College on Saturday, June zo, 1914, the President in the chair.

I. The Treasurer's statement of accounts r912-1913 was adopted.

II. Miss Willans proposed and Miss Dobbs seconded, "That each

19 member of St. Hugh's Club who is ten years or more in arrears with the subscriptions should have her name cancelled from the list of members, and be apprised of the action that is going to take place."

III. Miss Dobbs proposed and Miss Linton seconded, " That in addition to the Secretary there shall in future be a Sub-Secretary of St. Hugh's Club, and that her work be decided by the Committee."

IV. Miss de Putron proposed and Miss Blades seconded, " That Mrs. H. A. L. Fisher shall be elected an Honorary Member of the Club."

The above Motions were carried unanimously.

After a great deal of discussion on the Motions and Amendments previously considered at the October, 1913, Meeting, the Second Amendment, namely, " That the Club Paper be issued immediately after the October Meeting," was passed nem con.

As a result of the above-mentioned discussion, it appeared that the constitution needed to be more carefully worded and more complete, and the following Motion was proposed by Miss Wardale and seconded by Miss Willans, "That the Committee should meet to discuss the revision of the Club constitution; and that members of the Club should be invited to send suggestions ; and that the Committee be empowered to co-opt members for this discussion." The members subsequently co-opted were Misses Deneke, Prideaux, Sutton, Watson.

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTS. The accounts for the financial year, October r9i 2—October 1913, show that the Club ended the year with a balance in hand of z 19s. 9d., against that of _4'16 ros. rid. for the previous year ; so, obviously, the expenditure has been extraordinary. This is explained by the fact that there was a debt which is now no more. Members will rejoice that the Club has now no standing debt. The debt was incurred by the erection of the Memorial Tablet in the chapel ; it cost us X33 6s. 6d. (wrongly stated as £33 5s. in the 1912 issue of the Club Paper). Members know how, because this Club is purely a social club, and only expects to meet its current expenses, subscriptions were invited and a collection made to meet the cost of the Memorial, with the result that the sum of Li8 1Ss. was paid off

20 early in its history. Then an appeal was made, which brought in a further Z2 r os. by the date of the October meeting, 1912 • and this is the first item which appears on the Expenditure side of t his year's Balance Sheet.

At the following April meeting a motion was passed, " That if it can be afforded from the sum in the Treasurer's hands, the debt on the Memorial Tablet shall be paid off; " and accordingly the remaining Li' 18s. 6d. was paid down. So the Club stands at the end of the year 1912-13 with a balance of less than Z3, but free from debt.

Our warmest thanks are due to our President for haviug lent us the money for the bill until we were at length able to pay it back to her.

It is delightful to think the Club is free from debt ; but the Treasurer would like members to take away with them no false conclusions of a flourishing condition of the Club funds through any failure on her part to present the real aspect of its financial state.

The Club's ordinary income only just meets the expenditure, roughly speaking, and resources have been drained. Many subscriptions fall into arrears, and the old list of members whose subscriptions have long remained unpaid is not decreased by one member, though it was printed in the Club Paper for 1913. Attention should also be directed to the increasing number of Life Subscriptions paid, which means an actual corresponding decrease in future annual receipts.

Also it is well to look ahead ; and then one is confronted with the fact that thirty-eight members' term of annual subscription payment will end simultaneously with that date, and that each following year annual payments that have gone on also for fifteen years will likewise cease. (See Constitution, Article XI.) It is, however, only the arrears which make the Treasurer really anxious for the present and the future, for, with the new building, the membership of the Club may be expected to increase annually, and will help to meet the yearly expenses—but the arrears are a menace. Let us hope, though, that, come what may, our hearts may be cheered from time to time by charming contributions such as that by Miss J. Simpson, to whom the Treasurer would convey her most sincere thanks. We are really grateful to her for her gift, which came at a moment when funds were very low indeed.

Acting upon the suggestion that members might like to have the accounts more up to date, the Treasurer has endeavoured to give below also a rough idea of how these stood up to June, 1914, and how they are likely to stand at the end of the financial year :—

Officers' expenses amounted last year to Z3 7s. r Id.; the printing of the CLUB PAPER cost Z7 17s. 6d. ; and the tea at the October Meeting came to 19s. ; so that the probable total of expenditure for the 1913-14 will be at least .4'13 is. 5d., which would leave a balance of ,*ti 3s. 'ed.; but, because of the large number of Life Subscriptions which have contributed towards this balance, the balance for the ensuing year cannot be so large.

5. Mr. Cecil Sharp's most delightful lecture on Folk Dancing, with the equally delightful illustrations to it by Miss Kennedy, Mr. Douglas Kennedy, and their friends, brought us in Jro is. 9d., after the expenses of the Hall had been paid. And it not only left the audience with a knowledge of how to be happy though worried, but with the promoters it left as well a memory of generosity and support from many kindly quarters.

ST. HUGH'S COLLEGE DINNER. Nearly a year has passed since the last St. Hugh's College Dinner, and therefore my recollection of its details has become a little dim.

However a request from the Editor for " a short account of the last St. Hugh's Dinner " may not be denied, and I will therefore do my best. The impression remaining on my mind is one of keen enjoyment, and in many respects the dinner last year was the most successful we have yet had. This was due to the fact that Miss Jourdain and Miss Wardale were both able to come.

Miss Bird and I decided to send invitations to every member of the Club, and of these, in spite of an R.S.V.P. on the card, only about 75 answered, between 3o and 4o promising to come. May I say here, for the benefit of future Secretaries, how very difficult it is to cater for people who leave the possibility of coming vague ? Many asked if they might decide definitely nearer the time, and when that time came forgot either to confirm or contradict their conditional acceptance.

We all met at the University Club on November loth at 7.

Everyone turned up punctually, and we were able to sit down to dinner at 7.15, thereby gaining plenty of time for a nice long chat before several people left for theatres. After dinner there was a short discussion on a proposal brought forward by one of the Secretaries, that in view of the larger dimensions which this annual dinner is assuming, the Club might be asked to subscribe one guinea towards defraying expenses incurred by postage. Originally the dinner was suggested for those members of the College who live in

24 or near London. Now it is becoming a Club affair, and it seems reasonable that the Secretaries should be able to apply to the Club for money to defray unavoidable expenses. Miss Batchelor, Miss Knipe, and Miss Duggan were appointed Secretaries ; a vote of thanks being accorded to the outgoing Secretaries—Miss Bird, Miss Hammonds, and Miss Hough.

Among those present were :—Miss Jourdain, Miss Wardale, Mrs. Bowen-Colthurst, Mrs. Fairley, Misses Prideaux, Tew, Goddard, Sprules, Baker, Dodwell, Bazeley, Bowen-Colthurst, Tudor, Macpherson, Knipe, Herdman, Batchelor, Hammonds, Hough.

G. C. HOUGH. There will be a St. Hugh's Dinner this year in London on Saturday, November 21, if a sufficient number signify their intention to be present. Names should be sent by November 1, to Miss Batchelor, Bedford College, Regent's Park, London, N.W. OLD STUDENTS' SCHOLARSHIP FUND. REPORT.

There is little to report concerning this Fund. The 1913 account closed with a balance of Z4 7s., as against Z4 4s. I id. in 1912 ; and the subscriptions for 1914 amounted to £29 7s., as against £28 6s. 6d. at this time last year. The support given by members of S.H.C. who went down in 1913 has been disappointing, only three having become subscribers so far. No doubt this is partly due to the increasing number of students who spend the year after Schools in further training, but we hope that they will not forget the Scholarship Fund when they are settled in posts.

In compiling the list of subscribers, the Treasurer was not able to discover whether the following persons could not continue their kind support to the Fund, or whether they had merely forgotten to pay their subscriptions. She would be grateful if they would let her or the Secretary know about it.

Miss Cooke Miss J. Hanbury „ Homer „ Cornish „ H. Wilson „ Cowie An apology is due to Miss Parnell for the unmerited asterisk placed against her name last year.

REVIEWS. An Introduction to the French Classical Drama, by

ELEANOR F.

D.Univ. Paris, Vice-Principal of St. Hugh's College, Oxford. (Clarendon Press, 1912.)

In An Introduction to the French Classical Drama, Miss Jourdain enters upon a field far wider than the title of her book might lead her readers to expect. The Essay, which aims at placing the great dramatists of France in their right perspective in the history of Dramatic Art, is in fact a vigorous and stimulating contribution to the subject of the Practice and Theory of Drama as a whole.

At the beginning of the book the writer lays down clearly the lines which the whole Essay is to follow, by stating that SeventeenthCentury French Tragedy deals with ideal conditions, while French Comedy paints a picture of real life. She then sketches the connection of the three great dramatists of France, both with the general dramatic ideas of their age and with the central problem of its philosophy—the problem of the will in relation to the passions.

Finally, she examines each writer individually, pointing out how he was affected by contemporary social forces, and by the literary ideals and technique of other famous dramatists.

There is much that is illuminating in the treatment of Comedy, notably the reference to the Spanish Drama as it affected Corneille, and the comparison—all too brief—of Moliere with Shakespeare.

It is however in its criticism of French Tragedy that the book is most suggestive. The work of Corneille and of Racine is treated in bold contrast. Corneille, it is shown, studies the conflict between the undivided will of man and external obstacles—these obstacles including some of the sublimest of moral forces ; Racine, on the other hand, is concerned with the divided will and with the tyranny JOURDAIN,

-

27 of the passions. Here occurs one of the most interesting passages in the whole Essay—the reference to the mechanism of the passions, which, far from being unaccountable when not controlled by the will, are in fact subject to certain pre-determined and inalienable laws of flux and reflux, to the inevitable rhythm of mere natural forces.

It is further pointed out that the two great Tragedians reflect, when taken together, the aspect of life embodied in lEschylean Drama : self-determination of will studied by the side of the moral and physical consequences of sin. Corneille modifies the notion of Tragedy, which he shared with the Greeks, by the idea of spiritual reward and failure, the sense that there is a defeat which is the truest triumph. Most illuminating reference is made to Racine's dramatic background, to his intensifying the presentation of passion by the restraint his metre imposes, and to the incomparable single lines in which a universal emotion seems to find unique and final expression.

While the Essay is almost austere in its general style, there are moments when it lifts us high on lyrical phrases, which reveal the forces behind the prevailing restraint. Such, for instance, is the passage, Sea and air and the deathless hills are not more surely the helpless agents of a Divine Will ; " where, with swift, imaginative touch, the writer re-incarnates in vivid and lively form the tragic fact embodied in Racine's drama. Another example is to be found in the reference to Spain's love of the most evanescent things in human life, though to Spain that life is but an infinitesimal mote in the white light of eternity. The book is valuable in its method of comparative criticism ; in the comprehensiveness which refuses to deal with one section of dramatic art in isolation from the growth of the whole ; in the subtle penetration of many of its comments (as in that mention of the "unexpected deliverance" unique to Shakespeare's Tragedies) ; and in the inevitableness of detached utterances such as " Racine feels that place is where passion lives," where the writer scribbles mene tekel over a controversy black with the ink of wrong-headed criticism. But the book is valuable above all in the demands it makes on those who would read it, and in the thoughtcreating qualities which bring it in line with the criticism that counts as literature. L. F. TODD. Pius II., the Humanist Pope, by CECILIA M. ADY. (Methuen and Co., 1913.)

This book is at the same time a biography and a historical monograph of the period in European history represented by the life of Pius II. The author is extremely well qualified to deal with both

28 aspects of the book. Her personal interest in the central character is undoubted. She draws her portrait of Pius II. with a large tolerance and understanding of the peculiar temperament and ability which were combined in the politician and the humanist. On the other hand, Miss Ady shows grasp and balanced judgment in dealing with the complicated movement of European history. She has used the original sources for her book with force and discretion; the result is a book that is both readable and instructive : one that has its human interest, and at the same time a picturesque background of description. If the motives and events are so dealt with as to convey an impression of the commonplace movement of human events, it is in that way, no doubt, that the author wishes to convey to us the fact that the problems of history work themselves out in connection with the lives of men and women who are often blind and unconscious instruments of issues that lie beyond them. What these issues were was perhaps not altogether apprehended by the man who is the hero of Miss Ady's book. He was, it is true, playing a conscious part in ecclesiastical politics, but—like many of his contemporaries of lesser ability and more obscure lives—he too missed much of the significance of his own time. A polished litthrateur in the chair of St. Peter had neither the aspirations nor the grasp of some of the great popes who preceded him.

The interest and charm of Miss Ady's book lies in her faithful representation of the man in his weakness and his power ; and she has thus produced a " human document," which enables us to see how the movement of life and thought persists as a stream, though individual failures and weakness may retard it for a time when private ends do not make for the public good. It is thus a historical study of the best kind, interesting in itself, and valuable as a basis for further thought.

30 DEATH. WORDSWORTH.-011 June II, 1914, at Rydal House, Old Swinford, Stourbridge, Emily Constance Wordsworth, elder daughter of the late Rev. C. S. Wordsworth, formerly Rector of Old Swinford, and of Mrs. Wordsworth, aged 31 years.

" AVE ATQUE VALE." Those who were up at St. Hugh's in the Summer of 1906, will learn with deep regret of the death of Connie Wordsworth. For two terms whilst taking the Teachers' Training Course, she was resident at St. Hugh's College, and, although her time there was so short, she came to have a real affection for the College, and always afterwards looked back upon her time in Oxford as one of the happiest times in her life.

Only those who knew her well can realize what a blank has been made in the circle of her friends by the passing of her bright, eager spirit, or how pure and how rare was that spirit. Her personality was so vivid, her affections so strong and so true, that it is difficult to believe that she has gone.

Distinguished as a scholar—her record of work and of success was unusually long and full—she combined something of the brilliance one associates with her name with something better than brilliance, the " heart of a child." " He, being made perfect in a short time, fulfilled a long time, for his soul pleased the Lord."

SENIOR STUDENT'S LETTER. DEAR OLD STUDENTS, —It is difficult to write any sort of record of the past year's doings at such a time as this, when even all that Oxford stands for fades in the presence of the stupendous and pregnant events of this period of, world's history.

This year of course the unfailing source of conversation has been the topic of the new buildings. We found that we were all budding architects, but gracefully yielded to the decision of the Council in adopting the model and plans of Mr. Buckland ; the fascination of his little clay model is indescribable : it foretold such joys as oriel windows in the dining hall, a branched staircase leading up from the

32 entrance hall—but I hope you will all soon be seeing for yourselves the actual buildings. Meanwhile, Lady Margaret Hall is about to complete Wordsworth Buildings, and Somerville has added unto itself a magnificent wing including the Maitland Hall.

We had a larger First Year last October than the College has yet rejoiced in—twenty-one in all. They have earned approval by the impartial distribution of their numbers among the more unusual schools ; two are reading for Honour Mods. and Greats, two for Science, and two for Mathematics, besides greater numbers reading the more popular schools. They presented us with no giants in the athletic line, but provided some quite useful members of the XI. and VI. We won no Cups this year, but took a good second place in both Hockey and Tennis. We had one member of the Oxford VI., and the same star shines in the United. Alas ! Cambridge may boast of having won all the Inter-Varsity Cups this year—Tennis, Hockey, and Lacrosse.

In the Hilary term the members of the Second Year gave a performance of the proposal scene from "Pride and Prejudice," and various scenes from Cranford. Mr. Collins was inimitable, and his pious platitudes are now household words—though we cannot all attain his sanctimonious accents. This was only one of several frivolities, all designed to extract good coin of the realm from all and sundry to swell the Building Fund. Another specially enjoyable entertainment was the Fair arranged by the First Year, who gave us all the side-shows that our hearts desired, a baby show and fortunetelling included.

Eights' Week was very delightful this year, and gave most people a surprise in that University went Head in the first three days, while Magdalen went down to Four—a record of an unpleasant type.

O.U.D.S. gave the Acharnians a most excellent piece of acting ; the music, and indeed the whole work of the Chorus was immensely appreciated.

Looking at the last Senior Student's Letter for inspiration I see there recorded, "The trams have struck, but no motor or electric thing,has superseded them." Oxford is now overrun with scarlet motor-buses, otherwise the city of grey spires is still as you knew and loved her.

F. G. SUTTON.

Postcards from Old Students.

July to, 1914.

Lindendene, Leatherhead.

Here I am for four months after another three years' work in Central Africa.

We teachers had a hard year's work in 1913, for ever so many of the old people who had refused Christianity for half a century suddenly made up their minds to be taught, and some seven hundred were enrolled as Catechumens in the year, and our schools doubled and trebled their numbers, too.

St. Hugh's has sent a member out to Zanzibar diocese and Nyasaland; now Rhodesia is waiting for a third.—D. C. ABDY. The Bank House, Alderley Edge.

August 31, 1914.

I gave up my post at the West Kirby High School in July in order to take up work on a Juvenile Advisory Committee. I am now trying to gain experience at the Bury and Radcliffe Labour Exchanges.—EVELYN BLADES. Whitelands Training College, Chelsea, S.W. From London to Lahore ! At the present moment it feels a desperate plunge.

I am going to be Vice-Principal of Queen Mary College, Lahore, and by this time next year I ought to be able to write a really interesting postcard. The College is for high-caste Native girls. I gather that they mostly depart to marry when they are about fourteen years old. The work promises to be most interesting, but I shall loathe to go on September 59, and leave all news so far behind.

—M. M. CRICK. July 26, 1914.

96A, High Street, St. John's Wood, N.W. It is rather late in the day to send the news to the Paper that we have a little son, aged one year and nine months. He is getting very interesting, and tries so hard to talk to us. I am afraid this is all I have to record.—A. B. DAWNAY. July II, 1914.

143, Prospect Avenue, Madison, Wisconsin, U.S.A. Three wide lakes, bordered by flat, well-wooded country ; the white dome of the new state Capitol shining far away, a' green hill half covered with trees growing down to the lake, on whose heights the University buildings stand; these have been my surroundings for the past six months. I find America an excellent place to work in, but I look forward to coming home as the reward of my efforts.—J. M. DOUGLAS. August 3o, 1914.

The Home of the Community of the Epiphany, Truro.

It has been a pleasure to welcome several past and present St. Hugh's students among our visitors during the past year. Miss Arbuthnot-Lane spent a few days with us in the autumn,'and Miss Mammatt in the spring. Miss Parsons has been able to come for several short visits, and Miss Sutton always comes up to see us when at home.

It is hardly possible to say anything about our Community work on a postcard, but either of us will gladly send a copy of our Annual Report to anyone who cares to see it.

ELEANOR, Sister C.E. CHARLOTTE, Sister C.E.

34 July 3o, 1914.

53, Freemantle Road, Cotham, Bristol.

I have had a very amusing year in a French Lycee, where I duly ate frogs and snails, and studied many young romances. In September I take up my post in Withington Girls' School, Manchester.—D. IBBERSON. July 9, 1914, St. Wilfrid's, St. Michael's Road, Bournemouth.

I have had the most glorious time in St. Petersburg during the past winter, being companion-governess to a girl of sixteen. We had skating for three months ! -Easter I spent in Moscow, and witnessed all the great festivities held in the Kremlin on Easter Eve. The churches in Moscow are the most beautiful I have ever seen. Those at Kiev are also very fine.

We made several excursions into Finland, both in winter and early summer.

It was refreshing to perceive that this is a country where " trippers " are unknown !

I should like to emphasize the fact that the difficulties of the Russian language are not insurmountable, as is generally supposed !—M. E. MACDERMOT. August 31, 1914, St. Denys' College, Warminster, Wilts.

After tossing about in a vague way for some months, I at last came to anchor here last September at St. Denys' Missionary College. It was all very haphazard and surprising, but I felt settled in from the first, and am very happy here. I lecture on Comparative Religion, of which I know nothing. This sounds rash, but lends an excitement to the situation. I have also coached 4irls for Higher Local Examinations. All Missionary Societies are crying out for the services of University women, but very few volunteer. Where are all the St. Hugh's enthusiasts ? It would be jolly to see some come our way. As far as I can make out, people kick at the prospect of training, but after a few weeks' residence change their minds.—E. C. MATRAVERS. August 28, 1974.

The University, Manchester.

After my return from the United States in June, 1912, I did some temporary work as Secretary to a Liberal M.P., and afterwards joined the Staff of the Central Bureau for the Employment of Women. Since January, 1914, I have been Secretary of the Appointments Board (Women's Branch) at the University of Manchester, my duties being to advise students and graduates as to careers, and to help them in finding suitable work. I find it an extremely interesting task in very congenial surroundings. The University folk are most friendly, and well worth knowing.—E. G. MAY. Maesteg House, Whitchurch, Cardiff.

August 27, 1914.

We have been spending a month in the mountains at Llandrindod Wells, a delightfully bracing place after the relaxing air of Cardiff. We tried to get there in May, but after a fortnight spent in Breconshire my little girl developed whooping cough, and we had to return home.

My life is still a quiet but busy one, for I teach my children every morning, and so I have little time at present for other work beyond the home.—JEssJE E. PRICE.

August 13, 1914.

St. Peter's Home, Grahamstown, S. Africa.

I am still at St. Peter's Home, Grahamstown. A little while ago I spent three months in Cape Town, where I was helping in some work among the coloured people, which I found very interesting. There are many 'Malays among them, and a great deal of Mohammedanism. Here I do parish work chiefly.— G. M. SELBY.

35 July 8, 1914.

St. Michael's, Seaford, Sussex.

We have now been here a year, having removed the school from Hove in July, 1913, and are devoted to our country house and outdoor life. Hoary-headed as we are, we still keep young by bicycling, riding, and golfing. Our late head girl went to St. Hilda's last October, and is reading for the History School. We should be delighted to welcome any St. Hughites who may sojourn here on their way abroad, or who happen to be at Eastbourne or Brighton—both quite near us.—M. L. SIMPSON. August 17, 1914.

Lichfield, 12, Moatcroft Road, Eastbourne.

After going down from Oxford, I took a private post, and spent a most delightful year wandering about England ; we finally settled down in Clifton, where I found many old St. Hugh's friends. Since January, I have been on the Staff of the Ladies' College, Guernsey, as Mathematical Mistress. I find the work most interesting and varied, for I take two or three stray science classes, and also teach at the Pupil Teacher Centre of the Island. Last March I went over with the hockey team to Jersey, and spent the week-end there ; and the summer term was so very delightful, with all the bathing and picnics, that I was quite sorry when it ended. I have just returned from Oxford now. I went up for one of the Vacation Courses.—M. L. SLOCOMBE. August 31, 1914.

New Croft, St. Botolph's Road, West Worthing.

Your postcard came as a reminder that I really had been down a year, for it reached me during a Student Movement Conference at Swanwick, where I was rejoicing in the society of some fifty Oxford women, thirteen of whom came from St. Hugh's. I start work this autumn as a Travelling Secretary of the movement. The peculiar attractions of this career cannot be described on a postcard ; but one of the most obvious points in its favour is that it brings one to Oxford now and then. Displaying an almost Satanic propensity for going to and fro on the earth, I also hope to visit Birmingham, Cambridge, Liverpool, Bristol, the Irish Universities, and a number of Elementary Training Colleges. Like everything else, we are hard hit by the War, but hope to carry on business more or less as usual.

My best wishes to St. Hugh's this term, and to all the students whom I know.

—LORNA V. SOUTHWELL. July 13, 1914.

The Laurels, Tettenhall Wood, Wolverhampton.

The chronicle of my doings is almost the same as it was on the last postcard I wrote, except that I have a new daughter, a very pleasant person. I still play a great deal of tennis, besides doing a lot of other things. We have just had Evelyn Blamire-Brown down here on a visit, and had many talks over old times.

I was up for Eights' week, and saw several old friends.—E. BEATRICE TWENTYMAN. August 20, 1914.

Hotel Belvedere, Interlaken.

When you first asked me for a postcard before September r, I thought that all that I should have to say was that I am still lecturing and coaching in Oxford, and that I lectured last Hilary Term for the Faculty of Mediaeval and Modern Languages, and was allowed to give my lectures in the Schools. Since then however I have become a refugee. I am now waiting at Interlaken with many others for a chance to get home ; we are glad to hear that France is running special trains for us next week, though details are not yet quite settled. Meanwhile the Swiss are being most kind, and we may consider ourselves lucky to have been caught here.—E. E. WARDALE.

36 July 25, 1914.

High Bank, Harpenden, Herts.

I fear I have largely lost touch now with St. Hugh's, though two old members are helping and have helped me much with my daughters' education, Miss Rice now for many years, and now lately Miss von Etlinger is training one of them in singing. I had great pleasure also this year in meeting Mrs. Brayne (ned Goodchild) and her husband and two charming little girls at St. Albans, and also Miss Francis Ward who was staying with them. I was glad she was able to come 4i miles further on to see me. I wish old friends and acquaintances would occasionally look me up. Forty minutes' journey from St. Pancras is not much.

I have a roomy house and pleasant garden where it would give me great pleasure to see them.—RosA J. WARINGTON. The Bede House, Stamford.

I spent about ten weeks in Paris, and then went on to Switzerland early this year, owing to the kindness of a friend who came out to join me in May. We stayed at Lucerne, Weggio, Beckenreid, and Zurich. We sometimes had glorious hot weather, aad at others we picked up hailstones which fell on our balconies ; sometimes the mountains disappeared for ten days in mists and rain, and other days we went for excursions on the Lakes of Lucerne and Zurich. We had a lovely day at Rappenswil, and spent two days' climbing to the Rigi Kaltbad, and on to the Rigi itself. We saw the sun set, and got up at 4.3o a.m. to see it rise at Rigi Kaltbad ; both sights were wonderful. We returned home the second week in June, and I went to help my cousins in their large preparatory (boys') school at Westgate, where I hope to return this next term.—EVELYN, July 30, 1914,

WILLIAMS,

September 14, 1914.

35, Ventnor Villas, Hove.

But there is only one subject in all our minds now, and it is very difficult to think of anything one has ever done which had no connection with the war. Our very summer holidays were full of it—for I met more than one St. Hughite on her way abroad who must have got hung up or utterly stranded en route.

I was at Dieppe, where I am to be found every summer nowadays, and my friends and I had no easy time in getting back even from that near and friendly spot. Space fails me to tell you of the long hours we had to wait on the quay, till we were reduced to stealing food at the buffet before we could get a boat. It is humiliating how lacking in hideousness the major vices are when you find yourself driven into them !

Goodbye—and may the War soon be over.—A. HALES. August 22, 1914. U. M. C.A., Mponda's, Fort Johnston, Nyasaland, B.C.A. I joined the Mission January, 1913, and am hard at work here—a big Mohammedan centre. I am as happy as one could possibly be, and am keeping very well except for fevers, which are somewhat frequent. I hope to start for home after Easter next year for my first furlough. I simply must come to Oxford while I am at home.

All good wishes for next term.—M. CORNISH.
