,343       Her husband  was  a   dullard;
r Building 0f her daughters was hysterically in love with a cynical
playboy; the other was very
stridently precocious. There
was a selfish old mother who
hoarded antiques and a fussy
J O [father-in-law who chased fires,
a nosey house guest and
a bossy cook. And then, too,
most of these people were
worse than usual because they
it. MaryWere desperately trying to get
0*3 a legacy that Elizabeth had
deceived.
In the middle of it all, Elizabeth
itracted a convenient case of
inesia, in which twenty years
re blotted out and she became
girl again. This enabled her not
Iy to indulge in caprices such as
psing her daughter's young man
the world, but also to tell all the
imbers of the family what she
>ught of them. The fracas sub-
led, however, and all ended well.

RJC and other Rochester public schools were honored recently by
the visit of Dr. M. S. Kotiswaran, principal of the Malibut College at
Secunderabad, Deccan, India. Doctor Kotiswaran is also secretary of
the Allied-India Federation of Teachers.    He has come to the United
States to study the American culture and educational system, particularly to get in close touch with the boys and girls of the United States.
He stated that there are many distinct features about our educational
program which may be profitably used by India in her educational
reconstruction program.
Doctor Kotiswaran arrived in the
United States last September. He
spent one semester at Columbia
University getting background in
American education. (He is working on his master's degree.) Since
then he has been touring the country, visiting elementary schools,
high schools, and  colleges.
Phi Theta Kappa
Inducts Eleven
The Omicron Chapter of Phi
Theta Kappa, national scholastic
society for junior colleges, initiated eleven Rochester Junior College
students into the society. The ceremonies were held in the JC clubrooms at the YWCA Merry-Go-
Round following a sleighride and a
chili supper. Officers of the chapter, headed by President Joanne
Bandow, conducted the candlelight
induction.
Miss Louise Barthelemy, faculty
adviser, welcomed and congratulated fhe new members. Dean Goddard addressed the students and
emphasized that their responsibility
is not only to the students of the
college, but fo the world.
The eleven students initiated into
Phi Theta Kappa were Jacqueline
Aird, Richard Allen, Julius Block,
James Brough, Phyllis Dolden,
James Hammer, DeLarry Hovde,
Margaret Masson, Charlotte Mohlke, Cecelia Vogelsang and Joan
Wilkins.
In a rather informal gathering in Central Cafeteria, Doctor Kotiswaran mentioned several interesting facts about the
schools of India. He stated
that the intermediate colleges
of his country correspond to
our junior colleges, and that
the students in these institutions study much the same
subjects as we do here. However, with the exception of
science courses, day-to-day
work does not count much. In
fact, nothing counts except the
final examinations; in science
the ability to do all the experiments is essential.
Student government is common
in India. The student body has
meetings in which social problems
are discussed freely. These meetings are always presided over by
