The Women of Cornell
SKEE PHI
Paula, Geneva, New York. Prepared at Geneva High School. Age, twenty-two years. Arts course. Four years at Cornell. Paula comes from the small but renowned Geneva (N.Y.) and brings with her that push indigenous to all of Geneva's Great. Her four years were not spent idly, and we hope that some day, along with Geneva's celebrities, Calvin, Donnivard, Rousseau, Amiel, and Marc Monnier will appear with Pauline A. Ray.
Class of 1913
Washington, D.C. Prep. School, M Street High. Age, 20. Univ. Course, Arts. Years in Cornell, 4. Fan spent four years with us, during three of which she was a devoted Arts student. Finding more time in her Senior year she turned her thoughts towards Law and Boardman and, besides, developed a particular interest in athletics.
Class of 1911
Flax, Washington, District of Columbia. Prepared at M Street High School. Age, twenty-three. Arts course. Three and a half years at Cornell. Flaxie came to us with a desire, although not always obvious, tow work. However, so rapid was her pregress, that she left us after a sojourn of three years and a half, exceedingly content in the happy possession of an A.B.
