Hall, from
College Hall, from College Hall,
Don't hesitate to come and call
On Hen-House day at Wellesley.
Niobe sad, and Harriet, and Polly Hym and Dian's pet
On Hen-House day,--on Hen-House day,
O! Hen-House day at Wellesley.
Come walk right through the big front door,
Each hour we love you more and more,
There's fire-escapes from every floor
Of the new Hen-house at Wellesley."

Having thus formally adopted the new building, whose windows and
doors were already wreathed in vines and crimson (paper) roses
which had sprung up and blossomed over night, the college now
hastened to the top of College Hall Hill, whence, at the crowing
of Chanticleer, the egg-rolling began. The Nest Egg for the fund,
achieved by these enterprising "Freeman Fowls", was about

Another says: "Perhaps you may know that when I was a Senior
I received a scholarship of (I think) $350. It has long been my
wish and dream to return that money with large interest, in return
for all I received from my Alma Mater, and in acknowledgment of
the success I have since had in my work because of her. I have
never been able to lay aside the sum I had wished to give, but
now that the need has come I can wait no longer, I am therefore
sending you my check for $500, hoping that even this sum, so small
in the face of the immense loss, may aid a little because it comes
at the right moment. It goes with the wish that it were many,

From China came the message: "In an indefinite way I had intended
to send five or ten dollars some time this year (to the Endowment
Fund), but the loss of C
