Show 35 time for some work in one of the clinics of our free dispensary. We have very full work (thirty-eight hours of recitation and laboratory work a week, for the freshmen) and for this reason we have, as a school, very little opportunity for social life, though the fact that the classes are small makes it possible to become very well acquainted. We have our weekly Y. W. C. A. meetings. The twenty-five or thirty student volunteers from the four medical schools in this vicinity have union prayer-meetings Sunday afternoons, and very helpful meetings they are Our mission study class comes Thursday evening. I consider myself very fortunate in having so many Iowa College friends in and near the city. I have found time to visit some of them, and some come to see me. I am k>-ep ng house in primitive but very cozy style, and find one of my special pleasures in entertaining my friends. Of the other 'g8ers in the city I see Mr. Henry, George Marsh, and Charlie Frisbie occasionally; also Horace Wi.ey, who is fully half 'g8. Charlie Frisbie will probably tell you tVat he has been indulging in the scarlet fever, but iie may not think of telling that he is growing a beard. He came over to college a few days ago, and at his request I took him up to the dissecting room where my class was working. Some of my friends thought him very handsome, so you see what his beard has done for him. Hoping that each of you is finding as much pleasure in the line of your various duties as falls to me, I am always a loyal member of '98. SUSAN B.
