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
