...December, say rightly on page 21 that Smith College "bethought herself or was reminded of Poet Pierre's (Ronsard's) 400th birthday last week." But the head of the French department did not bethink himself in time to procure a bust of Ronsard to be duly "crowned," during the ceremony. A cenotaph was suggested but turned down. Finally, our professor rooted out of the Fine Arts department a bust that looked rather vaguely like Ronsard's, and it was duly crowned, with sonnets and period songs as you say.

...term approaches, the usefulness of the Co-operative Society comes into notice; for now the seniors are thinking of disposing of old text books, etc., and the remaining undergraduates, deciding upon their courses of study for the ensuing year, bethink themselves of how they can save a little next fall at the apening of the term. when expenses are high, by ordering their books in advance at wholesale rates. The work of the Co-operative Society during the past few months has been quite successful, and the members have increased over those of last year. In the spring the numbers...
