Mabel Ashe, who was now walking between Grace and Miriam, looked at
Grace rather speculatively. "You won't get them," she predicted. "You'll
have so many other things to think of, you won't think of yourself at
all. Here we are at the college campus. Over there is Overton Hall."

The eyes of the newcomers were at once focussed on the stately gray
stone building that stood in the center of a wide stretch of green
campus, shaded by great trees. At various points of the campus were
situated smaller buildings which Mabel Ashe pointed out as Science
Hall, the gymnasium, laboratory, library and chapel. In Overton Hall,
Mabel explained, were situated certain recitation rooms, the offices of
the president, the dean and other officials of the college. Around the
campus were the various houses in which the more fortunate of the
hundreds of students lived. It was very desirable to secure a room in
one of these houses, but somewhat expensive and not always easy to do.
Rooms were sometimes spoken for a whole year in advance.

"Do you room on the campus?" asked Grace.

"Yes," replied Mabel. "I live at Holland House. I was fortunate enough
to have a friend graduate from here and will me her room. I entered
Overton the autumn following her graduation."

"One of our Oakdale girls is a junior here," remarked Grace. "Her name
is Constance Fuller. She graduated from high school when we were
sophomores. We do not know her very well, and had quite forgotten she
was here. This afternoon on the train, Anne, who never forgets either
faces or names, suddenly announced the fact. I wonder if she has arrived
yet. We came early, I believe, but that is because we are obliged to
take the entrance examinations."
