CAMPBELL COUSINS CORRESPONDENCE
Wheaton College,
Norton, Mass.,
October 14, 1923.
Dear Cousins:-
When my father sent me some
Campbell Cousins Correspondence paper with the
invitation to join this Correspondence Circle, it made
me feel like a true member of the Campbell Clan.
Since the last report a most
enjoyable summer has been passed. For two weeks in July
we visited the Cousins in Tioga County. At this time I
met many of our relatives whose names I had only heard
before and also met again some whom I could not
remember.
In September I motored up here
and since then I have been enjoying to the fullest
extent the greatest opportunity life has opened up for
me. College life with all its various phases is
certainly wonderful.
Norton is located between
Providence and Boston, in a very beautiful part of the
country, as our Massachusetts Cousins know. It is
especially lovely just now with all the leaves turning,
and we take many enjoyable walks through the woods.
This is one of the smaller
Colleges, having an enrollment of about four hundred
students. The majority of our buildings are red brick
and I have the good fortune to have my room in the
newest dormitory. The Library is the very newest
building, built with Doric columns and the words ”That
ye may have life and have it abundantly", the Wheaton
motto, across the facade.
We have just celebrated
Founders' Day which was very impressive. At this time
many alumnae return and after exercises in the Chapel,
they are entertained at receptions and a hockey game is
played with them. This year we had the good luck to
defeat them in this sport.
Now we are looking forward to
the annual circus and the Hallowe'en initiation for
Freshmen.
This brings my very best wishes
to all the Cousins.
Very sincerely,
COUSIN DORIS
A. SELPH
