GEORGE E. VINCENT, President.

Then came fair May, the fairest maid on ground,
Deck'd all with dainties of her season's pride,
And throwing flowers out of her lap around:
Upon two brethren's shoulders she did ride;
The twins of Leda, which on either side
Supported her like to their sovereign queen.
Lord. how all creatures laught when her they spied,
And leapt and danced as they had ravish'd been,
And Cupid's self about her fluttered all in green.
-Edmund Spenser.

1910 REPORT BLANKS.

Each member of the Class of 1910 should receive during the month of May a circular entitled "Report Blank and Final Address to the Graduating Class." This circular contains spaces for report of the four years' reading and of any real work which has been done, together with the dates of Recognition Day at various Chautauqua Assemblies and the time limit for sending in reports.

Any member of 1910 who does not have this blank in hand by June I should notify the office at Chautauqua, New York.

The blanks described above should be returned promptly by people who wish to receive their diplomas at Chautauqua or at some other Assembly.

Members to whom diplomas are to be sent by mail. need not finish their reading until October first. Readers

Hall of Philosophy, Mountain Lake Park Assembly, Maryland. who are eager to graduate at an Assembly should not be discouraged if they are somewhat behind in their work now, for wise management of time accomplishes wonders. It should be remembered that no written examinations are required. Reporting the four years' reading to the Chautauqua office and payment of the proper fee is all that is necessary to secure a diploma. Seals may be added to the diploma by the answering of review questions, but this may be postponed a little if necessary.

1910's Recognition Day at Chautauqua will be August 17. The address will be given by Mr. Edward Howard Griggs. The Baccalaureate Sermon will be preached on Sunday, August 14, by Bishop John H. Vincent, Chancellor of Chautauqua Institution.

MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK.

That the Assembly at Mountain Lake Park, Maryland, is a true child of the parent Chautauqua, preserving the family names and traditions, is proved by the cuts shown in this number. The Hall of Philosophy shelters many a gathering of clever people, as in New York, and the C. L.

S. C. graduates pass through a symbolic Golden Gate as at the older shrine. Mountain Lake makes especial development of the children's activities.

THE 1910 BANNER.

The banner committee of the Class of 1910 has engaged Mr. Henry Turner Bailey, editor of The School Arts Book, and Head of the Arts and Crafts Department of the Chautauqua Summer Schools, to make the design for the 1910 Class banner. Not only the design is to be made by him but the work of making the banner is to be under his immediate direction. A color drawing of the design is now in the hands of the committee and will be approved within a short time. A description of the banner will be given later in the Round Table.

RAILROAD TRAVEL MADE EASY.

The Accommodations Number of The Chautauquan Weekly gives the would-be visitor to Chautauqua a large amount of information as to ways of reaching the C. L. S. C. Mecca. It is all as easy as present-day labor-saving methods of travel can make it. Nevertheless, difficulties often arise from ways of looking at things, and so imgained hardships may make the trip seem impossible to some people unaccustomed to travel, who, nevertheless, are eager to share in the symbolic ceremonies of Recognition Day. If those folk will tell their desires and their troubles to the Editor of the Round Table (addressing him at Chautauqua, New York,) they will find him ready with a variety of suggestions that may help to solve the difficulties. If it is guidance that is needed he knows accredited chaperons who are eager to guide, and if it is companionship he knows other travelers who may be willing to accept an addition to their party. The prospects look bright for a large gathering on Recognition Day. It rests with you to make it larger still.

CHARACTERS IN THE HOMERIC STORIES.

It will be a convenience to many readers to have for reference the concise descriptive list of the gods and heroes

mentioned in the Iliad and Odyssey, which appears in this magazine. Both Greek and Latin names are given and the accent is indicated in every instance, while the brevity of the "Who's Who" paragraphs makes it possible to memorize easily the information which they contain. The author of this article is herself a C. L. S. C. reader, and first put the material into this convenient form for her own

use.

SEAL FOR MAGAZINE READERS.

In the back of this number of the magazine will be found a list of fifty questions based on the three required series of articles for the current Classical Year. Correct answers to these questions will entitle graduate readers to a seal. Answers should be numbered to correspond with the numbers on the list. Papers should be addressed to the office at Chautauqua, New York.

MAGAZINES AND THE CLASSICAL YEAR.

How a man's own name stands out from the hurlyburly of a newspaper page! And how many references are continually cropping up whenever interest is aroused in any especial subject! Magazines are constantly publishing articles that make interesting supplementary reading for C. L. S. C. workers. The Literary Digest for February 19, for instance, has a description by Henry Turner Bailey of his recent trip in Grecian waters. He calls his article "My Odyssey." A contribution to a recent American, says that "The Return of Ulysses," a drama by Jules Lemaitre, acted by members of the Comédie Française, has been produced in France in the moving picture "theaters"-a hint for people eager to elevate the tone of these places in America. Current Literature for November, 1909, gives the gist of several articles on Halley's comet under the general title, "Return of the Most Famous Comet in the Universe," while the March number does the same for the "Sunset Comet," which
