Roemer, Lindenwood College for Women, St. Charles, Mo. My Dear President Roemer: Upon receipt of your letter this after- noon 1 sent the following night letter which you will have received before this letter arrives: June 30 named as "Lindenwood Col- lege Day" at Exposition as per your re- quest of. Jan. 23. Suggest you would hold meeting in Missouri Building. Re- ly on me and the support of the Bureau in your plans. Letter will follow. June 30 will probably be observed by Tacoma and the California School for the Blind, but they will in no way inter- fere with your celebration. A celebra- tion it should be in very truth. We shall be honored in the day, and we hope large plans will go forward for making it a "red fetter" day in the Fxposition life. Education and educational institu- tions are to have a larger part in this more than in any other exposition. Col- lege and University alumni organizations all over the country are planning for re- unions here in San Francisco. Teach- ers will come by the thousands for the meeting of the National Educational As- sociation and the International Congress of Education in August. I am glad in- deed that Lindenwood College is mak- ing such an aggressive campaign for Its special train and its visit here. Linden- wood lias a worthy past, and there is no question about its future with such "boosters" as have her present Inter- ests at heart. I shall hope to greet you personally here at the Exposition. Yours truly, JAS. A. BARR, Chairman of Congresses and Con- ventions. FROM THE RESIDENT COMMISSIONER San Francisco, April 2. 1915. To the Executive Secretary, "Linden- wood College Special," St. Louis, Mo. My Dear Miss Edwards: I am in .receipt of your esteemed fa- vor of the 29th. You may rest assured that I will do everything possible to as- sist you in making your "Lindenwood College Day," June 30, at the Exposi- tion a success. I have referred your letter to Mr. Theodore Hardee, who has charge of Special Days and Special Events, and you will no doubt hear from Mr. Hardee relative to what can be done to help out to make your day pleasant. Perhaps you did not know, but I am special resident commissioner from Mis- souri and will do everything' I can to make your day one to be remembered. You have but to command me, and any- thing that you desire, will receive at- tention. Assuring you of my desire to co-oper- ate with you in every way, I am, Very truly yours, FRANK BURT. Director, Concessions and Admissions, OFFER OF HONORS San Francisco, April 3, 1915. Miss Sara Elizabeth Edwards, of "The Lindenwood College Special/' St. Louis, Mo. Dear Madam: — Your letter to Mr. Frank Burt, Direc- tor of Concessions and Admissions, was referred to this office, and let me assure you that we will be more than pleased to co-operate with yo;i in order to make the "Lindenwood College Special" a grand success at the Exposition. We shall also be glad to meet your party with a guard of honor, band, and some of the officers, and escort you to the place where the ceremonies will take place. If there is anything else that you de- sire to know regarding the Exposition and your visit, do not hesitate to write r u- and we will be glad to furnish same, -if - possible. Yours very truly, THEODORE HARDEE, for the President OBJECTS OF THE TRIP. Wednesday, June 30, has been official- ly designated by the Panama-Pacific Exposition as "Lindenwood College Day." It will be celebrated in a fitting manner by Lindenwood and St. Charles people and their friends. By no means the least important feature of Lindenwood College Day will be the reunion of former Lindenwood and St. Charles people. Undoubtedly hundreds of these, who expect to attend the Exposition anyhow, will make it a point to be there on Lindenwood Day. Scores have already expressed such an intention. For the benefit of those living in the East, a special train, to be known as the 'Lindenwood College Special," will be v grated from St, Louis, with stops at Kansas City, Colorado Springs and Salt Lake City en route. Lindenwood and St. Charles people and their friends will make up this special train. Persons living elsewhere than at St. Lcuis or St. Charles can arrange to join this train at any stopping point if they make their reservations early enough. SPECIAL TRAIN SCHEDULE.

Tickets on the Special include the fol- lowing: Round trip first-class transpor- tation from St. Louis, good going with the party and returning by any direct route the individual may select before starting on the trip; Standard Pullman sleeper accommodations from St. Louis to San Francisco; special meals at stop- ping points, as follows: "Get Acquaint- ed" breakfast. Baltimore Hotel. Kansas City; breakfast, The Antlers Hotel, Colorado Springs; luncheon, Utah Ho- tel, Salt Lake City; sight-seeing trips at Kansas City and Salt Lake City; transfers of passengers and checked baggage from train to hotel at Berke- ley (just across the bay from San Fran- cisco); room (two persons to room) for seven days, with breakfast, at Shat- tuck Hotel, Berkeley; round trip fare each day between Berkeley and San Francisco or the Exposition; admissions to the Panama-Pacific Exposition each day; admissions to four of the princi- pal educational attractions on "The Zone," which corresponds to "The Pike" at the St. Louis World's Fair; a com- prehensive series of sight-seeing trips in and around San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley; tickets for banquet the night of Lindenwood Day. COST OF THE TRIP. Including all of the above, two per- sons in double lower berth, Pullman Standard sleeper, or one person in an upper, to San Francisco, $135.00. One person in double lower berth, Pullman Standard sleeper, to San Fran- cisco, $142.50. No tourist sleepers will be carried. RESERVATIONS— DEPOSITS. Many reservations have already been made. It is the desire to care for all friends of Lindenwood and St. Charles who want to go, but the accommoda- tions are, of course, limited. Each day people are realizing more and more the advisability of making advance reserva- tions for the California trip, and the character of the Lindenwood Special is making a broad appeal. Those who ex- pect to go should not delay. A deposit of $5.00 per ticket is re- quired when reservations are made, with a second payment of $10.00 to be called for by the committee, and the balance on or before June 15. Make all checks payable to Mrs. Mary I. McDearmon and mail to her at 730 Clara avenue. St. Louis, Mo. In making reservations by mail state positivelv what accommodations you re- quire on Pullman, and if someone else is to occupy Pullman berth with yon, give name of the other occupant. LOS ANGELES SIDE TRIP. IMPORTANT.— All who make their first and second payments on or before May 15 will be given a free side trip to Los Angeles and San Diego, including Pullman from San Francisco. Complete details later. The limit of May 15 is put on book- ings for this trip because it is necessary to know positively how many are going just as far in advance as possible be- fore satisfactory Pullman arrangements can be made over what is certain to he a tremendously crowded route. ANTLERS HOTEL, COLORADO SPRINGS WHO MAY GO. The Lindenwood College Special is open to pupils and patrons of Linden- wood and their friends, and to the peo- ple of St. Charles and their friends. MEN WANTED! Since some have thought that the trip was open only to ladies the Committee desires to state specifically that men are not only welcome — but wanted! If your wife, daughter or sister — or all three — are going on the trip, why not join them? BAGGAGE. Checked baggage will be carried on a private baggage car from St. Louis on the special train. This will insure its getting to San Francisco when you do- not at about the same time you leave. This applies, of course, to baggage starting with the train; but that belong* ing to persons coming from other points and joining the train at St. Louis, Kan- sas City or elsewhere, will also be trans- ferred to our private baggage car if it has arrived in time at the point where connection with the special train is made. Checked baggage will be transferred to your hotel and sent to your rooms without charge or trouble to you, at Berkeley. All are advised to take as few trunks as possible — not because of inconvenience on the special, for it will be handled systematically there; but for the convenience of members after the party breaks up for the return trip. Hand baggage will remain in the per- sonal care of individuals at all times. FROM DR. JOHN L. ROEMER. The Lindenwood College Special to the Panama-Pacific International Ex- position is one of the biggest advertise- ments that the College has ever had. It is not only an advertisement but it is a great fact, of which all must take notice. The arrangements are the most com- plete of any trip that was ever arranged from St. Louis to San Francisco. Every modern convenience has been provided, every attention is to be given to those who are on the special. One need not concern one's self as to whether she can be accompanied, for our own chaperone will be constantly on the lookout the entire time. I can commend the methods, the plans and the purposes most unreserv- edly. It is the opportunity of a life- time. A PATRON'S VIEW. St. Louis, April 6, 1915. To the committee in charge of ihe Linden wood Special to California. Allow me to express to you my ap- preciation and congratulations on the success you are having with the ar- rangement for "Lindenwood College Special Train." I am particularly pleased that you have made it both cheap and pleasant, with the splendid environment and chaperonage that you have provided. No father should feel the least uneasi- ness as to the safety, protection and pleasure of his wife and daughters. Again thanking you for this splendid opportunity for my family to visit the Fair, and wishing you and Lindenwood College every future success, I remain, Yours sincerely, A. J. GORG, SORORTIES Lim>6KW00T> >r|f» Musm Gamma House The two junior National Tan-Hel- lenic sororities at Linden wood, Sigma J ota Chi and Eta Upsilon Gamma, have tried and are still trying to justify their usefulness to the college and prove that sororities may be something more than social organizations. This, they believe, may be accomplished in two ways: first, by standing as or- ganized bodies for the administration of the school; and second, by setting a standard for scholarship in the school. In a school like Lindenwood, where sororities include forty per cent of the whole student body in their membership, they necessarily play an important role. Must not their attitude be in harmony with the spirit back of the government of the institution of which they are such a vital part? If not, what is the need of their position in the school. This is the question asked of them and by them. Several years ago the two sororities at Lindenwood set a standard of scholar- ship for admission to membership; they have kept that standard and abided by it. Not only do they require certain grades for admittance, but within each various plans are used to keep the grades up to the origina standard after girls once become members. It is true that they often fall short — far short — of what they should like to do. It is true that individual members digress from the "straight and narrow path." But isn't the aim a worthy one? We believe that it is. A FRATERNITY GIRL'S SYMPHONY. (Suggested by Channing's Symphony.) To live constantly above snobbery of word or deed; to place scholarship be- fore social obligations, and character be- fore appearances; to be in the best sense, democratic rather than exclusive, and lovable rather than popular; to work earnestly, to speak kindly, to act sincere- ly, to choose thoughtfully that course which occasion and conscience demand; to be womanly always; to be discouraged never; in a word to be loyal under any circumstances to my fraternity and her teachings and to have her welfare at heart, that she may be a symphony of high purpose and helpfulness in which is no discordant note. — Eleusis of Chi Omega, The Crescent of Gamma Phi Beta. Sigma House ZETA CHAPTER. Zeta chapter of Eta Upsilon Gamma was installed at Lindenwood College on May 25th, 1905. This was the sixth chapter of a sorority that recently in- stalled its fourteenth chapter, so that it now covers an area extending through the middle states from Alabama to Colo- rado. Zeta chapter's experience of ten years of active, hustling college life has only helped to bring about the present flour- ishing condition. Last year a cozy little bungalow was built through the efforts of these Gamma girls, the first sorority house to appear on the campus of Lin- denwood. This home with its pretty furnishings is quite an addition to the attractiveness of the college and shows the sorority's interest and faith in the future "Wellesley of the West/' Present Chapter Roll.

Theta has accomplished much for a chapter so recently estab- lished. The handome little bungalow situated on the campus of Lindenwood is a good proof of its thrift. The house is perfect in every detail. I am sure it would pass the j udgment of any con- noisseur, accompanied by more than a casual expression of approval. Every one of the eleven chapters of Sigma Iota Chi is watching Theta's growth with in- terest. Theta has always tried to be a help- mate to Lindenwood, urging each mem- ber to create an influence of the highest character. Both active and alumnae members have always striven to promote the welfare of their- dear Alma Mater, (continued on page 6) Active Members.

The Gamma and Sigma Sororities are taking an important part in arranging for the pleasure of their members and guests on the "Lindenwood College Special." v The Gamma Girls will be hostess at the Breakfast June 25th Antlers Hotel Colo. Springs. The Sigma Girls will be hostess at the luncheon June 27, Utah Hotel Salt Lake City. You may be well asured there are many novel and unique surprises for every hour of the trip— yes and the Sorority girls "are in on the secrets." lM,usic at Lindenwood Mr. Erman Miss Hanna Mr. Tandy What promises to be one of the most enjoyable and at the same time one of the most noteworthy features of the Lindenwood College Special and Linden- wood College Day, is the music. While changes have been rapid and the scholas- tic standard has been raised to a notable extent in all departments of the college within the past few years, the changes in and expansion of the music department has probably been greater than in any other. Mr. Erman, concert pianist for Linden- wood, will be on the special, playing for the school at the various stops made en route to the Fair. He will also give several recitals while on the coast and a number at various places on his return east. In adding Mr. Erman to the staff at Lindenwood, Dr. Roemer has secured one of the leading concert pianists of the country. Born in St. Louis he showed marked musical ability at an early age. After studying with various local musicians, including George Vieh, formerly of the Lindenwood faculty, and Aired G. Robyn, (his cousin,) he went to Vienna in 1894 and studied with Les- chetizky three years. Returning to this country in 1897 he appeared for several years as soloist with the symphony orchestras in various cities and in recitals all over the United States, finally ac- cepting a call from the National Opera in Mexico City to act as one of the con- ductors of that organization, which posi- tion he held for six years. Since return- ing to the United States he has resumed his work as solo pianist. Wherever Mr. Erman appears he is always accorded immediate recognition as a remarkable pianist. In his playing he has ample technique at his command, wonderful singing tone, and never loses sight of the musical side of his art, but on the con- trary has the happy faculty of making his audiences lose sight of the technical side of whatever he may play and see only the artistic In other words, Mr. Erman has the true instincts of an artist. Mr. Erman will be assisted in his con- certs by Mr. G. Castleman Tandy, bary- tone. Mr. Tandy is one of the younger singers of the country but is fast win- ning his way to a reputation with his big, sympathetic voice and his artistic manner of using it. Miss Hanna graduated in piano at Lindenwood under Miss Malen Burnett, now of Walla Walla, Washington. Later went abroad and studied under Frau Pro- fessor Oskar Raif, Prof. Hugo Kaun. and Madame Teresa Emerich, in Berlin, Germany. Miss Hanna has just com- pleted her fourth year as teacher at Lindenwood College. Miss Hanna will not only assist in the piano work on the trip and Lindenwood College Day, but will, as she always does, lead the girls in their College Songs. Every one is invited to join in this singing and catch the spirit of the "New Lindenwood." (Tune: — "The Mining Engineer's Song.") There's Maplewood and Cherry And Poplars grand and tall, And Christmas trees so merry, And Elms, and Pines and all, But all the trees you mention To us would not seem good, For there's only one we cherish, And that is LINDENWOOD. Oh Lindenwood, oh Lindenwood, You are the one we love. Oh Lindenwood, oh Lindenwood, x\ll other trees above, You make the campus shady, For every one we know, So we hope you'll keep your head up high And grow and grow and grow. LINDENWOOD HYMN. (Tune:— Recessional — De Koven.) "School of our mothers, in days of yore Goal of their found ambitions long, Within the portals of thy door, Ideals were formed and wills made strong. Thy honored rule was ever good, Old Lindenwood, Dear Lindenwood. On girls that come and girls that go, On all that walk beneath thy shade, A heaven sent gift wilt thou bestow; A graceful and a gracious maid With brain for power and heart for good; Old Lindenwood, Dear Lindenwood. FROM MRS. McDEARMON. April 28, J915. 730 Clara Ave,, St. Louis, Mo. Dear Girls :- Isn't it grand that we are really going on the Lindenwood Special to the Fair? But the always present question as to what to wear now confronts us, and I am glad to say that I have an authorita- tive statement "from headquarters" to give you. A friend who has lived in San Francisco many seasons writes: "And now about the Exposition: Whatever you do, be sure to bring plenty of warm things, all of you. San Francisco is in California all right, but it is also on the shore of the Pacific Ocean, and the trade winds, — strong, steady, cool winds, — will be blowing every day; there will be fogs coming in, perhaps; and there will certainly be no chance in the world to wear real sum- mer things. Never once do we desert the coat-suit, and there are many days during the so-called summer months when, over the coat of one's tailored suit, a fur collar is needed. Most every- one wears light underwear (knee and elbow lenght) all the year round, and no one ever goes without the coat to the suit, for except right in the direct sunshine it is chilly enough to make one glad to be wrapped. A heavy motor- veil, to keep one's hat and hair on, should be part of the outfit. No white dresses will be needed for anything, for, if you want to dress up, a light, dressy afternoon frock of silk or crepe de Chine would be more in line with what is worn out here; and in fact, pretty waists with one's tailored suit would be quite all that is necessary. Be sure to wear a hat that will stay on, for the winds are high and steady, every day. You won't need an umbrella at all, and a parasol is entirely superfluous for the sun is just what you want to have. It may sound funny to speak of the danger of your being chilly in California in June, but there is a penetrating quality to the air out here which goes right through one, and that's why everybody walks on the sunny side of the street, and why ad- vertisements always say "nice sunny apartments," etc. Out of the direct sun, the chill is there; and this in spite of the profusion of flowers and green things all a-growing and a-blowing every- where." And the Official Guide Book has the following: "Visitors to San Francisco from Eastern, Middle Western and Southern states should note that the temperature here the year round is about that of April or early May in New York, Lon- don, or Chicago. Do not come clad for a hot Eastern summer. Light overcoats and wraps are always in demand in the INSIDE INN HOTEL, Where Banquet Will Be Held UTAH HOTEL, SALT LAKE CITY evening". From April to- November limbrellas may safely be left at home. Trade winds blow all summer and fogs are heavy." Arrangements for the "Lindenwood Special" have been perfected through Mr. W. A. Chamberlin, of St. Louis, as tour manager. Mr. Chamberlin is thoroughly ex- perienced in directing such work. He is particularly well known to many in St. Louis and vicinity by reason of his having had personal charge of the vari- ous trips of the St. Louis Business Men's League to Panama. Were Mr. Chamberlin a "real Linden- wood girl" he could not show greater interest and care than he is now exercis- ing for the welfare of the "Lindenwood College Special" and all it includes. The Committee feels it is to be congratulated in securing his services. Accommodations have been secured for the party at the best hotels in the West, and the best Pullman equipment obtainable has been ordered for the train. In a similar manner all other de- tails of the trip have received expert attention. And while extravagant expenditure has been avoided, the best service has been engaged in every direction. Comfort, freedom from worry and annoyances and a trip that old and young will always remember with pleasure — these are the things that have had first attention. This will be a crowded travel year. The record up to date indicates that the Exposition attendance is going to be greater — even! — than optimistic Cali- fornia had predicted.. "Lindenwood College Special" travelers- need not worry about these things. Ex- perienced direction and painstaking ad- vance arrangements of every detail will make their trip one of pleasure and en- joyment. You will be glad to know that "Mother Kirby' 7 (Mrs. Tula Kirby), matron of Lindenwood for ten years past is among cur party. In addition to Mrs. Kirby's motherly care, we shall have Miss Linneman as chaperone of the Sigrnas and Miss Hanna of the Gammas. These popular teachers will have a general oversight not only of their Sorority girls, but of any who may be in the party without their parents. Furthermore, the members of the Com- mittee will always be on hand to chaperone, advise, entertain and call the roll." With all good wishes for each and all, I am, Yours in anticipation, Mary I. McDearmon. THEY WANT US TO VISIT THEM. Mrs. M. I. McDearmon, 730 Clara Avenue. St. Louis, Mo. Dear Madame :- I am advised by Dr. J. L. Roemer of Lindenwood College that he has already forwarded my letter to your address and suspect it has already reached you. While I may not be able to add any- thing to the contents of the letter to Dr. Roemer I take this opportunity of extending to you our invitation to ar- range a stop over here in our city as you go to tlie expositions in California and Lindenwood "reunion" on the coast. I am sure all members of your party will thoroughly enjoy every minute of their stay here and will want to prolong their visit or come again. I hope to hear from you that you have found it possible to visit our city. When you finally determine upon your itinerary, I should like to hear from you. If you desire further information, please advise me. Very truly yours, C. C. Canady, Secretary. The Lindenwood College Special will stop at Glenwood Springs long enough tor the girls to take a dip in the pool.

Very cordially yours, Norman M- Vaughan, NMV--AB Secretary. HOTEL SHATTUCK, BERKELEY CALIFORNIA HOTEL— BERKELEY. The Shattuck Hotel, Berkeley, at which the Lindenwood Special party will be accommodated, is one of the best on the Pacific Coast. It is only five stories high and built of steel and con- crete, with solid concrete floors — an ab- solutely fire-proof structure. Berkeley is "in the shadow of the University of California." The Shat- tuck reflects that influence. The hotel has no bar, and in every way its char- acter is splendid. Berkeley is just across the bay from San Francisco. Direct car and ferry lines may be taken to San Francisco, or to the Exposition grounds direct without going to San Francisco. Serv- ice is exceptional: Berkeley expects to be in better shape as to transportation to and from the Exposition than San Francisco. Round trip tickets (one daily to the Exposition or to San Fran- cisco) will be furnished members of the Lindenwood party without charge. RETURN ROUTES. Railroad tickets included on the Lindenwood trip are good without ad- ditional charge to return over any direct route which the individual may have selected BEFORE STARTING. These "direct"' routes may be broadly described as: To Los Angeles and San Diego from San Francisco, then back to San Fran- cisco and home as you went out; or To Los Angeles and San Diego, then back to San Francisco, then home through Ogden over the Southern Pacific; or To Los Angeles and San Diego, then over the S. P., L. A. & S. L. Ry. (Salt Lake Route) through Salt Lake City; or To Los Angeles and San Diego, then home over the Santa Fe; or To Los Angeles and San Diego, then home over the Southern Pacific; or To Los Angeles and San Diego, then home over the Southern Pacific and Rock Island through El Paso. STEAMER RIGHTS.— Steamer may be used between San Francisco and Los Angeles on tickets used with this train only under these conditions (without additional charge) : 1. When passenger is returning via steamer to San Francisco, then East through Salt Lake over the Western Pacific (the route on which you will have gone out) ; or 2. When passenger is returning from Los Angeles through Salt Lake City over the S. P., L. A. & S. L. Ry. (Salt Lake Route). San Diego is NOT included free on tickets which use steamer between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Intention of taking steamer must be in- dicated when reservations are made. NOTE. — Accommodations will be guaranteed on these steamers ONLY when member has made reservations and expressed intention of taking these steamers long enough in advance for the Tour Manager to write to San Fran- cisco for state room accommodations and secure confirmation of the fact of such reservations being held. The steamers undoubtedly will be crowded to their capacity and it would seem en- tirely inadvisable to wait until getting there to make reservations for any spe- cific date. NORTHERN ROUTES.— There i s an additional charge of 517.50 on tickets returning through Portland, and these do not include San Diego except at a still fur- ther cost of |4.00. NOTABLE SIDE TRIPS. Yosemite is reached from Merced, California, the rail rate from that point tor the round trip, including stage fare from El Portal, being- $18.50 at the date of this publication. Merced is on the Valley Lines of both Santa Fe and Southern Pacific. The Grand Canyon is reached from Williams, Arizona, at an additional cost for round trip railroad fare of $7.50. Williams is on the Santa Fe. Glacier National Park is reached over the Great Northern. Yellowstone is reached direct at the Northern entrance over the Northern Pacific; or by side trip from Salt Lake over the Oregon Short Line at an ad- ditional charge of $12.25 for railroad fare for the round trip. RATES FROM POINTS OTHER THAN ST. LOUIS. Those joining the party at Kansas City will pay $9.00 less than the St. Louis rate — and are invited to and in- cluded at the "Get-Acquainted Break- fast" at the Baltimore Hotel the morn- ing of June 25. Persons living outside of either St. Louis or Kansas City will usually find it an advantage to buy their railroad ticket for the entire trip to California and return from their home town. Wherever this is an advantage it will be arranged, but no railroad tickets should be purchased without first con- ferring with the Tour Manager through Mrs. McDearmon regarding the rout- ing. Rates from points other than St. Louis will vary according to difference in railroad and Pullman rates. THROUGH THE YELLOW^ STONE. It was originally intended that the Lindenwood College Special party should break up at San Francisco. Later the Los Angeles sidetrip was arranged for those completing all preliminary ar- rangements on or before May 15. Many members of the party have asked to have a homeward trip ar- ranged, and many want to see the Yel- lowstone. This trip is offered, there- fore, and those desiring it should so state at once. Those not caring to return in this manner may still come home direct, as originally planned, and a direct trip in charge .of one of the chaperones will be available for unaccompanied ladies^ Details of the Yellowstone trip are now practically completed and those de- siring to return through the Park are requested to write Mrs. McDearmon at at once. This Yellowstone party will be amply chaperoned and the rate will include, (in addition to the expenses through Yel- lowstone), railroad, Pullman, transfer and other expenses, except meals on diners, from Los Angeles to St. Louis. A Short stop will be made at Denver. EXTRAS. Your ticket covers all essential ex- penses other than return Pullman and meals (and special meals are included as follows: Breakfast, Kansas City; break- fast, Colorado Springs; luncheon, Salt Lake City; breakfast each morning at San Francisco).

The Yellowstone is going to be crowded this year. Reservations have been made for this party. Inasmuch as investigation has shown (he necessity of making these advance reservations for the party, persons wanting to make this trip will readily recognize the service involved. All who are coming hack with this party are, therefore, urged to so inform Mrs. Mc- Dearmon at the earliest possible mo- ment. If a reasonable number have not roistered for this trip on or before May 15 it will be abandoned, as far as an organized, chaperoned party is con- cerned, and those who may have reg- istered for it will be so notified. It may be stated that this proviso is inserted rather as a matter of form (in order to avoid certain complications on accommodations held after May 15 and not taken), for the demand which has caused the trip to be arranged seems even at this writing to be sufficient to practically guarantee the party. Camps In Yellowstone. The trip through the Yellowstone will be via the Wylie Permanent Camps. 1 hese camps have been m operation for many years, and are under government ; r.nervision. These are not movable camps, but permanent tent cities, built at intervals along the great government highway which circles the Park. Each tent is floored and has a stove, with rug and bed. The beds are the best that can be bought. Camps are reached each noon and night. There is a competent matron with a corps of lady assistants (practi- cally all of whom are teachers and stu- dents from the schools and colleges of the country, spending their vacation in the Yellowstone in this manner) at each camp. Tents are divided into one, two and four compartments, and members of the party will be roomed according- ly, two to the compartment. This trip is planned as a great out- door outing. It is perfectly safe and wonderfully educational and interesting. All of the places of most importance in the Park are to be visited. Two nights and one day will be spent at Upper Geyser Basin, and one night and a lit- tle more than half a day at the Grand Canyon. Realizing that it is usually difficult to estimate the cost of an outing like this. it is arranged to include ALL EX- PENSES, for the six days in the Park- except tips —and no tips are necessary in the Wylie Camps. ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT JOHN L. R1EMER, BEFORE THE ST. LOUIS LINDENWOOD CLUB HAMIL- TON HOTEL. MARCH 26, 1915, ST. LOUIS. MO. Mrs. President and Ladies: — At your request I am here this after- noon to say a few words in regard to the educational standing of Lindenwood College. I assure you it is a pleasure to be present and discuss the topic so dear to you. For nearly eighty-four years your Alma Mater has borne an enviable reputation for scholarship. There is a saying, based upon Scripture and fact, "'By their fruits you shall know them." Lindenwood is known by the achievements of its product. In WYLIE CAMPS IN YELLOWSTONE. DR. JOHN L. ROEMER. every sphere of woman's life the Lin- den wood girl has brought honor to her Alma Mater. For educational qualifi- cation she has never needed an apology. With the progress of the world Lin- denwood has kept apace. When Mrs. Sibley in 1831 deeded 120 acres of land in a forest of linden trees near the city of St. Charles she had visions of an in- stitution which would give to young women an adequate equipment for life's lesponsibilities. Her dreams have been more than realized. New visions of a still greater Lindenwood are upon us. It was the privilege of Mrs. Sibley to witness the material progress of the School from a log school house to a large dormitory equipped for the most efficient educational advantages of her time. Were she privileged to come back in the material form I am sure she would rejoice to see the completed hall named in her honor and commend the best of her worthy successors in mak- ing possible the splendid structures of Jubilee, Butler and Margaret Halls. On the campus today, in addition to these buildings, are Science Hall, Art Pot- tery, a central heating plant with huge boilers to heat all the buildings and fur- nish hot water to all parts of every dor- mitory. The new Gymnasium and the magnificent Natatorium would all meet with her hearty approval. When we even think of Lindenwood and her present high standard and the I '-ophetic future we must associate her possibilities with the noble spirits who have given generously of time, money and energy: I fear to catalogue the names of all who have been so devoted to Lindenwood as to prove their faith by their works. Major Sibley and his wife stand first as founders, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Watson are linked with its history when the College was in need of substantial aid, Col. and Mrs. James Gay Butler stand prominently in the last days when with visions of greater Lindenwood they have made it certain that the College shall be to the West what Wellesley, Vassar and other col- leges for women are to the East. The educational standing of the Col- lege has ever kept apace of its material progress. The courses offered in the Arts and Sciences, Biblical Literature, Home Economics, Music, Art, Expres- sion are such as to be recognized by the best colleges of our country. Articulat- ed with the University of Missouri, her students are accepted hour for hour by the leading Universities. Accredited by the North Central Association of Col- leges and Secondary Schools, there is no question as to the continuance of high and approved educational stand- ing. The old time idea of a "Female Semi- nary," the later phrase, "A Girls' Board- ing School," has been displaced by the College idea. At Lindenwood we have not a "finishing school" but a high- grade educational institution which per- forms all of its promises as to require- ments both for admission and gradua- tion. The degree of Associate in Arts gives entrance without examination to the higher courses of the University. When our graduates have completed the course in Education the State gives a three years' certificate to teach in the public schools of Missouri, and this cer- tificate is being honored by other states. A graduate in Music with the degree of Bachelor of Music is accepted as one eminently qualified to teach music. A diploma from the Home Economics de- partment qualifies not only for a good housewife but for teaching the subject in High Schools and Colleges. A di- ploma in Physical Education is recog- nized in the best schools for Physical training. Mrs. Sibley had in mind the religious as well as mental equipment of young ladies who should attend Lindenwood College. The purpose of the founders has ever been faithfully carried out. But never has a department of religious training been established as it is today. Bible Study is required of all the stu- dents, unless for reasons the student is excused. In addition to this a two years' course is provided for all who de- sire to become efficient workers in the home church or purpose entering the field of Home or Foreign Missions. Did time permit I might go into de- tails of the courses of studv. the methods of instruction, the qualifications of our teachers before being admitted to the faculty, but suffice it to be said that Lindenwood aims to be a College that is ever abreast of the times and on equal footing with the best of its kind in the world. Permit me, before closing, to speak of some things collateral to the topic assigned, if not directly bearing upon it. The question of school government is one that is dear to all of us. A board- ing school may be classed as a place for young ladies who need special and severe regulations to keep them under proper restraints. Our aims are to be natural; to develop strong, self-reliant, noble womanhood. Lindenwood is not a .school where you can do as you please. It has rules of order, but it intrusts these largely to the students themselves. In our history of Student Government and maintenance of the honor system the young women entrusted to our care have exemplified the wisdom of our style of government. No school has a higher grade of students enrolled and none can boast of a better behaved and more capable of self-control. All this is due to our manner of installing the prin- ciples of self-government. Home life is what every parent is in- terested in. Lindenwood strives in every way to take the place of the home while the student is pursuing her Col- lege course. In every teacher the stu- dent finds a friend who cares for her, advises her, sympathizes with her, in- sists upon the highest Christian ideals. Her health is carefully guarded. In sickness she is looked after and nursed to health. The home takes the place of an impersonal institution at Linden- wood. Lindenwood College is located at St. Charles, Mo., a suburb of St. Louis. LETTERS FROM GIRLS ON THE COAST. My Dear Mrs. McDearmon: — What a delightful journey the Lin- denwood Special is to make. I think it will be quite an event if Lindenwood should have a day all its own at the San Francisco Exposition. I wish that Los Angeles had a Lin- denwood Club as St. Louis and Kansas City have. Very cordially yours, (Mrs.) Nellie Ingram Baker. Glencairn, Sierra Madre, Calif. My Dear Mrs. McDearmon: — v 1 have been so pleased to receive the Bulletin from Lindenwood and have learned from it many interesting things. When will you be in San Francisco, and will there be a place to register and leave addresses? And can you tell me of any I might be interested in who will be there? (Mrs.) Agnes McCbrmick Sherburne. 219 South C St., Tacoma, Wash. My Dear Mrs. McDearmon: — We shall see you in June at the breakfast. Alma Krankhoff, Sec. K. C. Lindenwood Club. 3250 Gilham Road. Kansas City, Mo. My Dear Mrs. McDearmon: — We had not decided just what time we would go to the Fair, but now we will be there for "Lindenwood Day". We (our family) have every reason to be interested in the success of the school. My grandmother, my mother and my three sisters and myself all having been pupils there. That, I think, is a record surpassed by none. Also the college owes its existence in a great degree to the interest of my uncle, Samuel S. Watson, who gave so gen- erously of his time and means.

Everybody interested in Western travel is invited to visit he Fr^t annual Travel Exposition, given under arrange- ments perfected by the management of the Lindenwood College Special Califor- nia tour. This will be held at the Scruggs-Van- dervoort-Barney store in St. Louis, be- ginning May 1 and lasting one week. It is open to all who care to attend, regard- less of whether they go with the Lin- denwood party or not — and, indeed, re- gardless of whether or not they visit California this year at all. The Travel Exposition idea grew out of a need — necessity was the mother of invention, as in most cases. The further the Committee has pro- gressed on arrangements for the Lin- denwood part}' the more apparent has it become that there is a great deal of confusion in the public mind as to just what is most worth seeing in the West this year, and just how best to see it. In order to become fully informed it is necessary to visit many different rail- roads and devote a great deal of time to studying the subject. This is not prac- tical for man}'-. Moreover, many hesitate to visit rail- road offices merely to get information. Ticket sellers are glad to give informa- tion — anxious to, as a matter of fact; but one just naturally hates to bother them unless one is ready to buy. This was, perhaps, the thought that first suggested the Travel Exposition, although the idea broadened as it de- veloped. Briefly stated, this Travel Ex- position is a place where all the rail- roads interested in Western travel are invited to display their "goods" to be viewed by all who care to come . These "goods" will consist quite largely of pictures, maps and descriptive literature, and they will be open for your inspection all day. Representatives of the various West- ern railroads will be on hand a portion of each day to give information, and the "Ask Mr. Foster ' information bureau will have a place at the exposition. The "Ask Mr. Foster" bureau is a permanent feature of the Scruggs-Van- dervoort-Barney store, and is widely known to patrons of that institution. Its extensive collection of travel literature and travel information, much of which it is difficult to obtain elsewhere, will be available to exposition visitors. Every facility for making an attractive travel display has been afforded exhib- itors by the Scruggs-Vandervoort-Barney store. Various rooms on the sixth floor have been re-arranged for the displays and attractively furnished. Appropriate programs have been planned for after- noons during the exposition. Organized primarily for the purpose of concentrating the attractions of the West so that patrons of the Lindenwood College Special can best determine their return routes, the Travel Exposition has gone much further than that. It is designed as an exhibit of posi- tive information for all prospective visi- tors to the California Expositions, and for general travel education. It is open to the public, is entirely free and is cer- tain to be vastly entertaining and infor- mative. Don't miss it — and go every afternoon, if you can. The railroad and steamship exhibits will not have the entire stage by any means. The Exposition will be on the sixth floor of the Scruggs-Vandervoort- Barney store, and it will be in a travel setting. Every sort and condition of travel ac- cessory will be on display, ranging from drinking cups to bags, trunks and travel clothing:. 3 0112 105683301 }EN- THE LINDENWOOD COLLEGE SPECIAL TRAIN. While much time and study has been given to the arrangements for Hotels, sightseeing trips and special functions enroute and at the Fair, the Committee has not overlooked the fact that the Lindenwood College party travels about :^000 miles in Pullmans across the west. If there is any ' ir st" as to plans— "the fun and good times" on the train will be the best. The train is made up of a baggage car, five Pullmans, observation car, and diner. One of the drawing rooms is set aside as the office which carries all the modern conveniences for the welfare of our party. The office is the headquarters of the Executive Committee. Here you will find the Remington typewriter (the offi- cial typewriter of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition.) This type- writer will be at the service of our party. In the office will be kept all the tickets and no one will be bothered with "show your ticket." The Executive Committee that has aided in promoting the trip will go to the Coast — and attend personally to every detail of the journey — so your trip is a house party from St. Louis to SanFrancisco. Xow which car do you want to join? Each has its own Committee serving with the Executive Committee in order to make every hour a pleasant and happy one. "The President's Car." "The Sigma Sorority Car." "The Gamma Sorority Car." "St Louis Car." "Kansas City Car." The trip is truly to be a vacation, when all cares and worries arc left be- hind, and the spirit of the "New Linden- wood" prevails. Dr. and Mrs. John L.
