With special dinners on three successive evenings, the second week of the college year found social activites in Kirkland well under way.

The major event of the week was the first House dinner last Wednesday, with the Associates of the House as honored guests. The Associates dined with Walter E. Clark '03, House Master and Wales Professor of Sanskrit, and with members of the House Committee and sub-committees. Short talks were given by Professor Clark and by Charles W. Kessler '37, House Chairman, who later took new members of the House aside for a little fatherly chat.

Last Tuesday the members of the House Committee were the guests of Professor and Mrs. Clark, and the Kirkland football squad dined together informally on Thursday, with Bernard D. White '32, coach of the squad, as the principal speaker.
