Many Nerwalli People
Meet head of Vassar Gel-
lege at Mrs. M. t. Mead's
liillside Seminary—Music
by Miss littielohn and Mr.
Manville

The reception given by Mr. and Mrs.
Melville Emory Mead to President
Taylor. at Hillside, last evening, was
a delightful affair, and Well attended
by many leading citizens of Norwalk
and South Norwaik.
beautifully decorated with wild flowers
and apple blossoms, which had been
gathered by the teachers and pupils of
the Hillside school, and the oceasion
was one of much sociability and charm.
During the evening, Miss Agnes Little-
John and 1'}. B. Manviile played a vnr-
iod and artistic program of choice
music, to the great pleasure of the
guests who lingered in appreciative
groups in the reception room to enjoy
the exquisite playing of these artists.

Many of President Taylor's old
friends. who had lt-Iiil'lli'tll to know and
love him in the days when he was
pastor of the South Norwalk Baptist
Church, came to greet him. and the re-
union of old friends and now was ex-
tremely platsant to all.

During the eveninga at the request of
the guests present. iicsidcnt ”layior
made a short, informal address on tas-
sar College, and its. work. in begin-
ning be said many people desire to
know in general about the college. and
he was always somewhat at loss to pre-
sent the side that should satisfy this
desire. And so he would speak a few
words, not on the girls, attractive
though they were, our on the able fac-
ulty of teachers. but rather of the ex-
pansion ol‘ the college work since the
days when Mathew Vassar founded the
college. with what was then said to be
the largest gift ever given to the cause
of education.

President ’l‘ayior spoke forcibly of
the changes wrought in ideas of wealth
since that time. of the increased de-
mands for education. and the growth
of resources in our modern civilization.
He said that many people think of Vas-
sar as a great wealthy institution, with
little need for money. and yet the col~
logo was always confronted with llli'
financial problem, for while the tuition
fees did not suffice to pay the cost oi
the pupil, the college was making
large graiits every year to pupils who
could not afford to pay the whole. or
half the'regular charge. and who'wcre
received on scholarships. For the last
year. the college had had one hundred
and ninety girls lodged outside the col-
legc buildings and campus. and since
the first of April they had refused all
applicants for admission, because of
lack of accommodations at the disposal
of the college. The trustees had been
urged to raise the price ot tuition, but
If this were done .. would deny the
privileges of higher education to many
a wor.hy. earnest young soul. And
while he would be the last one to deny
the fact that life educates, yet for the
largest equipment for life it was his
firm conviction. based on extended‘ob-
servatlons. that there was no intstns so
satisfying. so enriching as the college
training for ministry. President Tay-
lor declared that underlying all the
study and work of the college was the
great missionary idea—equipment for
service. There have been nine hun-
dred and thirty students in Vassar this
past year. and the college has been
taxed to its utmost capacity to care for
them. it is doing a noble work.

President Taylor has devoted much
time. to increasing the endowment
fund of the college. Mr. Rockefeller
has agreed to double all gifts paid to
the college before the first of June
next, so that. ntuch intdveiit has been
amused in this movement to increase
the opportunities and resources of Vas-
car College.

President Taylor‘s remarks were re.
ceivcd with profound attention. and
with sympathetic applause.

The evening passed happily in de-
lightful social CORVOI‘EB and proved one
of the most delightful of the many
pleasant Hillside occasions. Quite a
number of the Hillside girls who have
attended Vassar College we; 9. among
the guests.

Henry D. Cornell arrived home in

Norwnik, last night. after spending the

winter at Boynton. Florida Mr. Cor-

nell reports thnt he spent a fine winter
and that. it was so warm there that
bathing was posible every day.

William Guthrie and Frank Webber.
bothNorwnlk boys, are there at pres-
cut. .The three were interested in n
produce form.

Mr. Guthrie will probably return to
Norw alk by the first of June. while Mr.
Webher, is seriously-considering the
matter of spending the summer in
Florida.

South Nerwalii Road

Workman at Snupatuck Unolrth Grave
Near LIngdon Kmhum Homo-
Body Buried in Clam Iholln.

 

 

While at work on the improvements
to the South Norwnlk road. workmen
unearthed another grave Thursday
morning. The skoiton which was in
a perfect state of preservation was
found near the one that was dug up
last week. near the Ketchum place.
The skull was presented to- a well
known professional man and while it
is a bit inclined to crumble. at. the
same time it. is in a fair state of
preservation. The teeth were found to
be mos» perfect not a decayed one. be-
Ing noticed. Those teeth were near
ly every one of them fiat on the bottom.
as If they had been used to a consider
able extent In chewing hard foods.
such as ntits. etc. in fact they present
ed the appearance of being filed.

This body, like the one found last
week. was buried in clam shells. It In
said that the Indians never buried
their dead without burying with them
some Implement. but nothing was
found with these.

Judging from this the bodies wort
not those of indians. Several theories
as to what they were has been adv
vanecd. Some are of the idea that
the bodies are those of sailors who
were brought ashore and buried. 0th-
ers that some one was murdered and
buried. The latter, hOWevcr. is hardly
probable. for murderers would hardly
take the time to cover the bodies with
shells.

Those working at the place think
that probably other skeletons will be
‘found.

NORWALK CASE NOT UP.

 

Motion to Accept Report of Committee
Goes Over.

The Norwnlk town division matter
did not. come up before Judge Alberto
T. Roraback yesterday in the civil
superior court. it wns announced that
the motion to accept the report of the

committee and for reservation to the-

supreme court would go over for one
week. It is understod that the re-
port was not quite ready.

The South Norwaik people now
hope to get the matter disposed of in
time to go before the supreme court
at its session next month in New Ha-
ven. The other. side has fought hard
for delay, but it now looks as though
this famous controversy about "three
days." legislative or calendar, would
be in a fair way of adjudication.

At nine o'clock all will return to the.
Chapel Parlors for Refreshments.

CAREFULLY NOTE.

First. Be sure to bring your Ticket.

much to the comfort and pleasure of
everybody else as you can. in that
way you will surely have one of the
most enjoyable evenings of the season.
We have to depend on each other to
