On Friday evening, February 24,
the Scientific Society visited the city
health laboratory at the City Hall,
object of this visit was to learn
‘thing of the type of work
ried on in the laboratory, and to
demonstrations of some of the
methods used.
j '.Eleanor Marsh, city tech-
conducted the members of
the Society through the 'laboratory
nd explained the apparatus used.
' illowing this, she demonstrated
making of bacterial cultures, the
appearance of different bacteria in
nt cultures, and the testing of
milk. She next showed the differ
ent ways of staining and mounting
pathogenic bacteria for micro.scopic
Rabies was one of the most inter
esting topics discussed. Miss Marsh
told how she prepared a dog’s brain
for examination for rabies, and
showed under the microscope nerve
cells from the brain of a rabid dog.
As she had been unable to obtain
a dog’s head to show the Society,
she invited the members to come to
the laboratory the next time that she
had to examine a dog’s brain for
rabies.
At the regular meeting of the Pier-
•tte Players on Thursday evening,
"arch 1, Sara Bell was the speaker.
She discussed the “One Act Play”
as a distinctive dramatic probh
stressing the author’s need of vi
character j)ortrayal, and the nece:
ty of carrying the reader smoothly
from the beginning through the
crucial moment—on which the play
succeeds or fails, to the end—or the
reaction after the crisis.
The play of the evening, “The
Pot of Broth,” by W. B. Yeats, was
directed by Letitia Currie. The sit
uation is that of a cunning tramp
who finds himself at the home of
one of the stingiest women in the
section. Instead of giving up in
despair to a hasty retreat, he sets
' 's will against her. With the strat-
;y of a learned psychologist and
ever diplomat he throws dust into
the poor woman’s eyes by praising
lavishly and carefully working
upon her superstitious inclinations.
In the end he leaves triumphantly
well-balanced meal under his
return for a worthless stone
which he has convinced the woman
magic—much to the admiration
the surj)rised but none the le#
' ing husband.
In the Expanded Chapel Service
on Wednesday, February 29, t"
Reverend Robert Gribbin, of Sai__.
Paul’s Episcopal Church, discussed
briefly the significance of the Len
ten season.
First he explained the derivation
f the word Lent, which is of Anglo-
laxon origin and bears no religious
imjilicatious, as one might naturally
i simply “Spring.”

lasted only two days. A hundred
and twenty-five years later the Coun
cil of Nicea specified that the season
should last forty days since Christ
had fasted forty days in the wilder
ness. However, this decision
permanently changed later through
the influencf' of Gregory the Great,
who reasoned that there should be
forty-six days in Lent so that there

vithout any interference with th(

Gribbin added that the duration of

He then talked of the ways i
vhich Lent is observed, and rt

e asked, and he then answered his
wn question by revealing to his
iidience the real worth of the small
■If denials which persons usually
lake during Lent. Mr. Gribbin
pointed out the importance of con-
it of Self, and the advisability of
testing one’s self-control. He said:
“A definite season has been set aside
to emphasize devotional life, be
cause it is impossible to keep up
the pace throughout the year.”
Since one rule—as to the most
fitting w-ay to observe Lent—could
not apply to everybody it is the re
sponsibility of each individual to
concentrate upon some virtue which
he wishes to cultivate in place of
some fault which he has decided to
discard.
Mr. Gribbin spoke of the univers
ality and the subtlety of temptation;
and of the mercy accorded man by
Christ who was “born in order that
we might be reborn in him,” who
“rose that we might rise.” He em
phasized the importance of trying to
get the .spirit of Christ’s life, rather
than trying merely to study it from
■ historic viewpoint.
In connection with the Lenten
ason Mr. Gribbin mentioned the
original use of the word “Carnival,”
which means “Farewell to the Flesh”
formerly applied to the fes-
its held on Shrove Tuesday
is the day before Ash Wed
nesday (the first day of Lent).
Mr. Gribbin concluded his talk by
hoping “when Easter comes that we
will all have gained greater spiritual
self-realization,” and by reading
appropriately, Robert Herrick’s

•ill not be forgotten
The Y'. W. C. A. vesper service
on Sunday evening, February 26,
was in charge of the faculty mem
bers of the Advisory Board of the
't . W. C. A. Cabinet. At this time
a very interesting program relating
to student problems and religious
life on the campus was given. Mrs.
Rondthaler presided, and after the
reading of the scriptures, a prayer
was offered by Miss Leftwich. Miss
Kate Smith then gave a short talk on
The Development of the Individ
ual,” in which she stressed the need
for individual achievement and serv
ice. The test of a college is in its •
men and women, and the purpose of
a college is to teach them to live hap
pily. They cannot all be world-fa
mous but each one should strive for
his own highest development by un
derstanding and serving people, and
by doing his daily ta.sks cheerfully.
Great things are achieved by doing
the little things gladly.
Miss Helen Hall next spoke on
the “Relationship of Faculty and
Students Seen Through the Relig-
ous Life on the Campus.” She
itated that a true sense of religion
n its highest form brought about
hree kinds of relations on the cam
pus between faculty and students.
The first is tolerance; a considera
tion and understanding of each oth-
The second is mutual justice; a
ic of fair play and correct judg-
t of faculty by students and of
students by faculty. The third i»
honesty; by this is meant not only
honesty in its usual sense but elass-
siucerity both in work and
ideas.
Miss Osborne then sang a sacred
lo, after which Mr. Campbell
spoke on “The Daily Living in the
Narrow Path.” He brought out the
fact that this way, which is called
irrow, is in reality broad, broad
ith opportunities for service to
others and to the world. A prayer
then offered by Miss Stipe and
after the singing of a hymn, the
service was closed with the Y. W.
Watchword.
