The eastern side is bounded by lofty hills, and towards the north the vale is crossed by three rugged elevations, the middlemost of which, called, as an old man told me, Bryn Dinas, terminates to the west in an exceedingly high and picturesque crag. After an hour's walking I overtook two people, a man and a woman laden with baskets which hung around them on every side.
I well remember when the coming of Madame Bernhardt to Philadelphia in 1901 fired the students of Bryn Mawr College with the justifiable ambition to see this great actress in all her finer roles. Those who had money spent it royally. Those who had none offered their possessions, books, ornaments, tea-cups, for sale.
In the programme of the new Bryn Mawr College, I have noted, with a feeling of satisfaction, the strong recommendations to follow grouped studies. If I understand the calendar of the University of Michigan, and the register of Cornell University, I find in these institutions a broad chance for taking electives and studies which properly belong together. These should be high commendations.
In November preceding the convention she visited me and her niece, Miss Lucy Anthony, in our home in Mount Airy, Philadelphia, and it was clear that her anxiety over the convention was weighing heavily upon her. She visibly lost strength from day to day. One morning she said abruptly, "Anna, let's go and call on President M. Carey Thomas, of Bryn Mawr."
Gyp thought: 'I mustn't let him get off or I shall be late for dinner, and she said: "Oh, Pettance, who bought the young brown horse?" "Mr. Bryn Summer'ay, ma'am, over at Widrington, for an 'unter, and 'ack in town, miss." "Summerhay? Ah!"

"I I think I understand," he gravely said at last. "Come here," she said with a sudden turn, and they joined an absorbed group in the midst of a conversation. " Thinking of sending Jessie to Bryn Mawr," Bles heard Miss Jones saying.
"Those two hills which we have just passed make up the five. However, I will tell your worship that there is a sixth summit. Don't you see that small hill connected with the big Pumlummon, on the right?" "I see it very clearly," said I. "Well, your worship, that's called Bryn y Llo the Hill of the Calf, or the Calf Plynlimmon, which makes the sixth summit."
The business men of Wellesley town subscribed generously. Many men as well as women have expressed their admiration of the college in a tangible way. And from Vassar, Smith, Bryn Mawr, Mt. Holyoke, Radcliffe, Barnard, Wells, Simmons, and Sweet Briar, contributions came pouring in unsolicited.
At Holyoake College it was found that only half the lady graduates afterwards married, and the average family of those who did marry was less than two children. At Bryn Mawr only 43 per cent, married, and had 0.84 children each; the average family per graduate was therefore 0.37.
Far off in Honolulu there were "College Capers" in which eight Wellesley alumnae, helped by graduates of Harvard, Cornell, Bryn Mawr, and other colleges, earned three hundred dollars. The News has published a number of letters whose simple revelation of feeling witnesses to the loyalty and love of the Wellesley alumnae.
