Clementina knew that tonight marked a crisis and that from now on she must either go on up to heights like Florence Night ingale, Jane Addams, and Mrs. Perkins; or on down to depths like Becky Sharp, Mildred Rog Jrs, and Cleopatra.

Ru mors last night made it evident that several groups were certain to give at least one bond every term. Fraternities have already been contacted concerning the pledges to aid service men in service and several pledges of a bond < ..ch month have been made.
