pres arts school class from kevin kennedy — senior presi dent — who is one of those versatile individuals having been not only ac tive in the frolic the junior prom student council and treasurer of the junior class but a fine student as well we should learn a great deal about the ill's and out's ot college life an awakening of interests in vari ous new directions is the most imme diate effect which my four years in ecllege has had royon me i have found that each new assignment in english or philosophy to name but two courses absorbing my attention a new field of investigation is opened to me the sur fnce of which at best i will only be able to scratch the tutorial plan has given me nn opportunity to direct my attention on one subject over a period of two years i have found the advantages of the system many i have had more time for study since there arc no classes to attend i have also found that to pursue the phases of the subject which interested me has cleared up many obscurities which in the class room would have been neg lected i nm indeed grateful that i was in the university when this plan for individual instruction was organ ized nnd was able to take advantage of the lieneflts it has offered what do you think of the support u b students give to activities on campus was ask it is certainly too bad that the university doesn't support its activities he replies this fact was forcefully brought home to me saturday night at the joint program which the blue masquers and the glee nubs put on the one act play the last man out was one of the best performances that i have ever seen an amateur group dramatize despite the fact that the program also included the singing of the men's nd women's glee clubs the auditorium was but sparsely filled the solution to tills problem here it is one possible wl y to remedy this situation in my opinion would be to issue nn activity ticket similar to the athletic ticket which would allow he bearer a substantial reduction in ad mission to the various activities it the students received this when they paid out their twelve dollars for the leon m monell to be director of drug club mr leon m moneil associate pro fessor of

the entry of thirty-nine ships iu the year 1769 but that is no matter up and down the atlantic coast scarcely a day of the navigation season was unmarked by the raucous accompaniment of ships ducking and embarking loading and unloading goods in transit between america and kmrope on every vessel one might see new arrivals — many witli homesick wretched countenances nauseated by the raw crude gawky yet boisterous skeleton of a would-be civilization beckon ing in the face of savage danger and imperial displeasure to the secure inhabi tants of a settled society even as a leiier might beckon to a child many faces betraying an impelling heart-breaking urge to rush within the vessel that brought them and hide till they be returned to the unmenaced life of european society many after one look and much blooding on the way did just that — returned without ever setting foot upon american soil but not so with one man he stood aboard the james oxwell liverpool as it drew into boston harbor edged well up to the rail gate stood holding three traveler's bugs of varying descriptions and wore a knee-length black coat a soft black hat and a tense expression betokening us one might interpret it either a powerful craving to lie on land a driving fear or both his name hud been lettered ou one small uag.though it was concealed by a piece of paper pasted over it was dr ernest tarbell and his age was twenty-eight alter the customary hallooing the ship finally banged up against the wharf tarbell swung over the gang-plank and onto the boston dock in an incredibly short moment the doctor was out of the crowd and gone off to one side lie went looking for something and almost instantly be found it it was a woman mary clark what they slid is of no importance they were lovers after a greeting in embrace they vanished completely from the swarm ing scene in their anxiety conversation and pleasantry were withheld for a freer atmosphere hurrying tn a quieter section they threw the luggage into a cilrt jumped in themselves and were drawn by a team into the solitude of boston 1'ost bond then on the way home they relaxed tell me about it please she persuaded vou will feel much better it was n t easy to tell though surely ernest turliell was innocent of any fault hut he did toil her in england scarcely having begun his practice he hud lost a patient to death and in the superstition of the people had been accused of intercourse with the devil of fiendish design and of murder moreover a local body had made tile accusation a conviction and he was pronounced a murderer obsessed with evil spirits even that was not all he had quarreled with his own brother over marv clark in the heat of argument had hurt him and added weight to the charge placed against himself forced by fear for his life and by misery he had rushed to liverpool taken ship and fled to america xow he was haunted by his fear for his brother that was his story they might hunt me yet he said if you wish to retract your promise i shall not blame you her only answer was i do not ernest and a marriage was made kate sometimes heaps a double burden on n victim singled out she did on ernest tarbell for after three months of happy life he was accused by his majesty's court of inciting rebellion among the massachusetts settlers and while that may have been a noble charge it was ill-aimed forpoor tarbell had been guilty of no crime greater than minding his own business and caring for the sick among his neighbors nevertheless he was as if by spiteful fate convicted and sentenced to hang then it appeared that fate had fooled herself two weeks before his execution date tarbell and his friends were amused at the news that he had surrendered himself at boston this of course was the work of a colonial soeietv to deceive the tories nnd it was a good joke on october 30 1760 it was announced that tarbell had paid the penalty of rebellion with ids life acting on an impulse of curiosity and uneasiness dr tarbell appeared at the barracks disguised as a sailor to identify the dead reliel he came home that night with a look on his face that had better adorned the dead did you see the deceased tarbell jested his wife over her work yes with ft sickening sensation she perceived a new possibility from his reply who she asked my brother student council gives tea dance tho second formal meeting of stu
