Iris Veith
After a long illness which in­terrupted
her col\ege work shortly
after she began. Iris Veith, Presi­dent
of the Class of 1925 of
Kazareth Academy, died last
July. \\'hile we think of her
passing away with sorrow and
miss her still. yet we are console<l
hy the thought that God reserves
the choicest flowers for His own
garden. Iris was a tnte Kazar­eth
girl in every way. Her heart
was lightest when she was en­gaged
in work for her Alma
:'Ifater. and her loyalty for the
college would have been of the
same character had she been able
to remain with us.
The little verse which she wrote
in memory of Helen Spellman is
reminiscent of Iris' own noble
and loving character:
"Bright soul fill eyes
Softly gle.'\ming with love;
Kind tender heart,

The feast day of the great
reformer of the Carmelites has
always a special significance for
l\'azareth girls. inasmuch as St.
Teresa of Jesus is the patroness
of our beloved Dean.

Note of Thanks
Two of the JU11iors and one of
the Sophomores fee! that they
owe a debt of gratitude to Dr.
Kettell for the most pleasant and

them this September. When
Dorothy l\IcGrath, ?I!ary Swan,

to foml any such deep acquaint­ance
with modern gi rls, as would
gi\'e them more than a general
impression of the genus.
13y the modern girl I do not
mean the extreme type, whom I
11'0\11<1 classify as ultra-modern;
the young person who does
el"erything she thinks that she can
get away with, and some things
about the outcome of which even
she i~ doubtful. She is in a class
by herself, aud is by no means
the average girl of today to
whose defense I can now proceed
with greatcr equanimity, since 1
hal'e made the foregoing distinc­tion.
Perhap~ the most unalloyed
delight of the modern girl's de­tractor~
is. a compari.son of her
with her predecessor, commonly
termed the "Old Fashioned Girl".
"Oh. if only the former were like
the latter" consti tutes in a few
words the attitude of many peo­ple
toward the modern girl. \Vell,
she isn't, and what is more, she
has no desire to be a counterpart
of the oft-praised old-fashioned
type. And who can blame her?
\\'hv ~ho\1ld she wish to be like
the 'girl who fainted at the sight
of a mouse, or the girl who was

girl is every bit as whole­some.
as ready to lend generous
aid, as virtuous, inwardly, as the
old-fashioned girl, It just hap­pens
that, outwardly, she dis­plays
more spirit, more stamina,
in a word, more Hfe.

THE GLEANER
Chemical Society Convention
Within the pa~t few weeks the
nation has witnessed a note­worthy
celebration, that of the
Fifteenth Anniversary of the
American Chemical Soc:iety. It
was the culmination of a half
century of toiling and laboring
for the advancement of science,
for the good of mankind. It was
the climax to a long period of
years during which the founders
of the Society and their succes­sors
expended e\'ery effort to
place it upon a firm basis, to
make it a strong factor in the life
of the country, to build it up to
such splendid heights that it will
be looked up to by one and all as
a distinguished group.
Today we may say that this
aim is achieved, and the glory of
it belongs to those loyal men who
worked with indefatigable spirit,
both because of love for their
work and the desire to help hu­manity.
Daily we watch the rapid
growth of this branch of science.
Every where about us we see the
results of chemica! analysis. In
these modern times unfortunate
knowledge of this important sub­ject,
for it is of great practical
value.
The American Chemical So­ciety,
recognizing the need of
such enlightenment and the en­joyment
dependent on such in­formation,
has made this one of
its principal aims: "The applica­tion
of chemical research to the
increase of the knowledge of
mankind, to the development of
our rountry's industries, and to
the material prosperity and hap­piness
of our people."

Lecture by
Theodore Maynard
On Friday, November 5, Theo­dore
Maynard, professor of
English at St. John's College,
Brooklyn, will lecture at Nazar­eth
College on "Chesterton­Belloc."
Mr. Maynard is a man
of broad experience added to the
advantages of a somewhat cos­mopolitan
upbringing, having
been born in India, educated in
England, and ha .... ing lived for
years in the United States. In
addition to teaching at St. John's
College, he lectures at St. Eliza­beth's,
Manhattanville, and Ford­ham
Summer School.
We are anticipating a pleasur­able
and interesting experience
in hearing him for the first time.
My Firat Impreuion of
Nazareth College
On the day that I came to regis­ter
at -;\'azareth Co!!ege I had
not formed any mental picture
of the school or the students.
The building appeared more like
a home than a school to me. The
clas~ rooms were so pleasant and
comfortable and informal look­ing
that I knew 1 would like
them. Thea too there seemed to
be a great e: ... actness of system
and respectful attention. In fact
everything appeared pleasing to
m,.
As 1 became accustomed to
college life during the first few
days I could not help but notice
the friendly attitude of the girls
toward each other and toward
strangers. Everyone was made
to feel at home and if it had not
been for this fact probably home
sickness would have overcome
m'.
i\Iy only hope and prayer is
that 1 sha!! never lose my first
impression of :-.Iazareth College
as time goes on. 1 wish each
Fre:;hman success in her work
aI"! h"Pf';l1f'~~ in "'lliee-e "~<oCia_

In the evening of our Dean's
feast day, the College welcomed
Doctor George Hermann Derry
of r-.farquette University, whose
splendid lecture was so much ap­preciated.

who were present at the lecture,

Not alone then
For when.
She speaks. she speaks
With the tongue of the master

Her minature stature daes

That fal!s in line .
We do not mean ..
Her character, please note
Her broadmindedness ...
We thoroughly enjoy.
And her interest ...
In the people
\Vith whom she comes
Is only equal!ed by their admir­ation
...
And devotion to her.

Oh, Freshie!
Short skirts, long skirts,
Black and white;
Stumpy braids, pig-tails.

Huge signs too;

Shoes all askew.

Dear Qllaerens:
You are quite right in giving

(Jl1estion is certainly of interest,
although not one that the editor

colors were selected. we believe.

dL,mgillg the oolors. we should
he glad to hear from more of the
girls on that subject. If. as you
,;ay. many of the students feel as
you do. the problem might be
brought before the Dean, who is
always ready to give such matters
consideration, and help if she can.
