In order to complete the estimate of the amount of money
which would be received for lodging in the proposed Alumni Memorial Dormitory, a card has been
sent to each student of the University, requesting him to state
the price of the room he would
wish to occupy. 'With the return
of these cards W. Graham Boyce,
treasurer of the University, will
be able to determine to what extent the proposed dormitory will
benefit the students. Also he will
have some idea as to what would
be a fair price for the rooms, it being natural to suppose that most
of the students answering his card
will name a room at something
near the price they are now paying.
Before the work can be started
it has been found necessary to estimate as near as possible the
amount which would be available
each year to help pay off the original cost of the building. With the
fund furnished by the Alumni Association and the amount returned
on the cards it will be easy to form
a plan of payment for the buildFor several years the feeling has
been expressed at Hopkins that

school spirit has been lacking to
any great extent however, but it is
thought by everyone interested in
the welfare of the University that
the building of sufficient "dorms"
to house all the students would
greatly increase the feeling that
college life means more than the
mere attaining of a degree.
So far very few traditions have
been handed down to the lower
classmen. Traditions of rooms occupied by famous athletes and
brilliant students are entirely unknown due to the fact that, although many of the students have
attained a wide reputation for divers university activities, none of
them ever actually lived on or
were a part of the campus.
The Alumni Memorial will be
the first dormitory completed and
may be ready for occupancy at the
beginning of the next scholastic
year. The cost will be approximately half a million dollars and
to aid the treasurer in his report
to the trustees of the amount he
will be able to devote to this causd
each year, all the students will
have to do is to sign the card and
return it immediately. It is hoped
that as many students as possible
will attend to this so that the
work on the new "dorm" may be
started at once.

WILLIAMS MEMORIAL LECTURES
Mrs. George Huntington Williams, of Baltimore, has given to
the University a fund to be kriown
as the "George Huntington Williams Memorial Fund," to perpetuate the Memory of Dr. Williams,
:ate Professor of Geology in this
University. The lectures given on
this foundation were at first devoted to the science of geology. It
is provided now, however, that onehalf of the income of the fund is
to be used in securing lecturers of
distinguished attainments on topics
of widespread contemporary interest. This fall a course of public
lectures is being given by foreign
publicists attending the Arms Conference, on "Problems of International Adjustment." The first of
this series was held on Monday,
November 28, at which Philippe
Millet, editor of Le Petit Parisien,
outlined the problems confronting
France and offered possible solutions.
The schedule for the remaining
lectures is as follows:
Japan: Baron Naibu Kanda,
member of the Japanese House of
Peers, Monday, December 12.
China: Admiral Tsai Ting-Kan,
Thursday,.December 15.
Great Britain: Alfred E. Zimmern, professor of international
politics at the University College
of Wales, Monday, December 19.

So that no one can refute it:
'Tis the Old Back Door.

Peaceful all its doors reposing,
But the Old Back Door.

Flanked by pillar and by casement;
But we enter through the basement,
