The treasurer of the “Hall on the Hill” to be erected at Framingham this year, paid a well deserved compliment to the “Clio” circle, of PROVIDENCE, R. I., when he said that he wished there were more circles like the “Clio.” These energetic friends took Chancellor Vincent at his word last summer, when he promised to lecture for any circle which would pledge $200 to the “Hall on the Hill.” They raised the money, had their lecture, and are satisfied. Their hard work seems to have only whetted their intellectual appetites, for they have had a long list of brilliant talks by distinguished men in addition to regular circle work. By the way, the New England branch of the class of ’87 was to hold a meeting in Providence in April, and the “Clio” was to act as hostess. What was done? A Providence neighbor of the “Clio” is the “Channing” circle of twenty-five members. We notice that these Providence friends use a very pretty and appropriate heading on their letter paper. At the top of the sheet, in the corners, appear the names of president, vice president and secretary, and below “Headquarters of the Channing Circle of the C. L. S. C.” A party of DANBURY, CONN., Chautauquans went abroad one night not long ago to see “Athens in the Golden Age.” A delightful time these tourists had. They made the passage of the Mediterranean Sea, and at Athens visited the Acropolis, went to the Areopagus to listen to Pericles, called on Xantippe, and did a hundred more interesting things, at last coming home via “Plymouth Rock.” The “Nestors,” however, do much beside travel. They have an excellent method of working the question box, which is an inevitable part of their program. The questions are gathered just before adjournment, and shuffled, each member drawing one. The first exercise after roll call at the next meeting is the answering of these queries. The imaginary trips which our Danbury friends like so well, the “Alpha” circle, of NORWICH, makes a part of each evening’s work. When they journeyed from Boston to New York they went with Howells in a “Sleeping Car.” They have lived over, on paper, all the preparations for the trip abroad, the life on the steamer, and have done the sight-seeing of the British Isles. These tourists have enlivened their travels by many a happy device. Once it was a _conversazione_, and again, in preparation, perhaps, for their visit to Athens, a pronouncing match on Greek proper names. What wonder they have had a phenomenal growth! Last year there was not a circle in Norwich, now there are six. When the “Alpha” organized last fall, it was with eleven members, to-day they have fifty. Nothing to be surprised at, perhaps. It seems to have been “good growing weather” for the C. L. S. C., throughout New England.——MERIDEN, CONN., has had the common experience, the circle having increased to sixty-six members. They have found the key to the mastery of the Greek names and chemical terms.
