“He likes to speak of hunting (he will shout of it), of open air mornings when the gorse alone flames brighter than the sky, of the country quiet, of his m of poetry.....and last, but. ly. of soldiers.” So Robert Nichols, in the| introduction to Counter-Attack, epitom- izes his friend and fellow-poet Seigfried | Sasson M. C., who will speak here under the English Club, on Friday evening, February 6. Sassoon, who will give a commentative reading of his own poems, is best known in this country through The Old Hunts- man and Counter-Attack, two volumes of poems dealing chiefly with the war. Before the war, according to Mr. Nichols, he hardly published a line, printing sev- eral volumes of poems, however, for private circulation. “He was occupied with natural beauty and with music” and there was nothing in his poetry to fore- shadow the bitter feeling characteristic of his war poems until the appearance of The Old Huntsman in 1917. “This book (in consequence almost wholly of these bitter poems) enjoyed a remarkable suc- cess with the soldiers fighting in France dees In 1918 appeared the English Edi- tion of Counter-Attack in which there is hardly a trace of his old manner... -. Indignation chokes and strangles him,” interfering often with his technical pro- ficiency. Since the war, accordingly, to a cri- tic in the London. Mercury, who reviews Mr. Sassoon’s latest volume, The War Poems of Seigfried Sassoon, he is re- turning more and more to the poetry of nature. The same critic attributes the war poems, rather to “a cheated passion for beauty” than “an intimate predelic- tion for violence, interpretation, or cari- cature.” Mr. Sassoon is twenty-nine years old, and was educated at Marlborough and Christchurch, Oxford. He fought in France and Palestine as Captain in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. Tickets for the lecture may be secured from Alice Harrison, Denbigh. Reserv- ed seats, outsiders, one dollar; members of the college, 75cents, admission 75cents and 50 cents. MEDICAL SOCIAL SERVICE IS AN ES- SENTIAL BRANCH OF MEDECINE Dr. Welch Gives Last Lecture in Social Service Course “Nearly every social problem you take up will bring you into the field of health and medicine,” said Dr. William Welch, head pf the Hygiene Department at Johns Hopkins. Dr. Weich, speaking on medical social service last Thursday, de- clared that he was strongly in favor of woman’s taking up of this work. “It brings you into contact with some of the most interesting and fundamental prob- lems of society,” he said. “One of the disputed questions in con- nection with medical social service is the amount of nurse’s training a work- er should have.” Dr. Welch declares that technical training is not necessary, though a certain amount of it will help the social worker in her duties. She is more concerned with the environment than with the physical condition of the patient. Social Worker Changes Life of Patient “Medical Social Service is essential in the treatment of disease,” he con- tinued. “A patient coming to a hospital (Continued on page 6) ee 5 Cents ——— ————— K. Woodward Individual Champion “the largest score that has ever been jmade here in a swimming meet, 1921 |} won the second meet last Friday night with a total score of 76 points. K. Wood- ward, Junior captain, won the individual championship with 23 points, breaking the college records in both front swims and placing in both back swims. E. Mills, 21, was second, with 21 points, breaking the plunge record by almost two feet; E. Anderson, '22, came third, with 10 points, and K. Townsend, 20, fourth, with 9 points. According to Mr. Bishop, the meets this year were good ones. Interest cen- tered in the single length between K. Townsend, ’20, title holder, and K. Woodward, ’21, challenger. Miss Wood- ward broke the record of 131-5 seconds by 1-5 second, and brought the record of 32 1-5 sec. for the double length swim down to 31 2-5 sec. The plunge record of 55 ft. 7 in., held by A. Thorndike, ’19, was brought up to 57 ft, 1 in., by E. Mills, 21. The Junior relay team also lowered the record for the four length swim by 4 4-5 sec., mak- ing the distance in 62 1-5 sec. Placing in the meet was: 1921, first place, with 76 points; 1922, second, with 14 points; 1920, third, with 10 points; 1923, fourth with 2 points.

The final count was made last Friday by the Intercol- legiate Treaty Referendum, and released to the papers at once. Copies of the final results were for- warded to Senators Lodge and. Hitch- cock in the Senate, where a synopsis of the vote was incorporated into the Con- gressional Record. Mr. Hitchcock, Democrat, was reported to have “found much in the statistics to stiffen his op- position to the Lodge reservations.” A Republican Senator of prominence, ‘on the other hand, commenting on the Hitchcock gratification over the college vote, remarked that it was “of course well understood by the framers of the Constitution that all grave situations coming before the Senate should be de- cided only with the advice of Freshmen and Sophomores of the Nation.” Register (58,078 Votes at Polis Four hundred and ten colleges were included in the final referendum, which registered the opinions of 158,078 stu- dents and faculty members, as follows: Compromise between the Lodge and Democratic reservations, 49,653 votes. Ratification without reservations, 48,- 232 votes. Ratification with the Lodge reserva- tions, 27,970 votes. Opposition to the Treaty iv any form, 13,933 votes. Breaking four records and piling up E. VINCENT Is MAY QUEEN Elected. Upon Resignation of L. Kellogg Elizabeth Vincent, ’23, has been elect- ed May Queen, in place of Lois Kel- logg, ’20, who tendered her resignation at a mass meeting of graduates and un- dergraduates last Monday. Miss Vincent is from Greenwich, Con- necticut, and was prepared at Rosemary. She is the daughter of Mr. George E. Vincent, President of the Rockefeller Foundation. FACULTY GIVE CONCERT FOR ENDOWMENT FUND Dancers and Dr. Brunel, Violinist Win Great Applause Offering a varied and _ entertaining program, the faculty concert Saturday evening realized about for the Endowment Fund for Professors’ Sala- ries. Dr. Brunel's violin playing and the eurhythmic dancing by Mrs, de Mon- toliu and Gladys Leuba were received enthusiastically, Dr. Brunel interpreted his selections sympathetically, display- ing his fine technique in the “Jocelyn Lullaby.” A dance by Mrs. de Montoliu and Gladys Leuba, repeated twice as an en- core, brought out—the skill characteris- tic of each performer. Mrs. de Mon- toliu’s dancing was graceful and finished. Dramatic power was shown by Miss Leuba, whose interpretation of Ase’s Death was convincing. Songs of widely differing character, from one by Mozart to ballads from Newboldt’s Admirals All, were render- ed by Mr. Noah Swayne, a soloist of the Orpheus Club, who has a baritone voice af wide range and purity. His Negro Spirituals, including the old favorite, "Tis Me, Oh Lord, were most popular Kreisler’s Cradle Song and The Bird, by Fiske, gave opportunity for Mrs. Da- vid Tennent’s well-trained and flexible voice. Mr. King was impressive in Bucking- ham’s last speech from Henry the Eighth, and amused his audience with a recitation of the Jackdaw of Rheims. Posters for the concert, done by Miss Fernald, instructor in History of Art, will be auctioned later, for the benefit of the Endowment Fund. WOMEN OF ALL COLLEGES ATTEND ENDOWMENT DRIVE LUNCHEON In the interest of the nation-wide drives for the increase in professors’ salaries, college women from all parts of the country will attend a luncheon at the Colony Club, in New York, on January 26.

Gilkie, pastor of the Congregational Church in Springfield, Mass., will hold the annual week-end conference of the Christian Association, on Saturday and Sunday, February 38 and 9, Reputed to be one of the most popu- lar of the Silver Bay Lecturers, Dr. Gilkie, led the final meeting of the Re- construction course here last winter He was formerly assistant pastor of the Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church, and held Bible Classes at the Baldwin and Shipley schools. The first meeting will be held in Tay- lor Hall, on Saturday evening, another on Sunday morning, and the last, Sun- day evening.

There will be no further issue of the News until after the midyear vacation. The Children’s Hour _ (tn the Library) In the evening when the fire is lit Around its warmth the students sit, And sometimes for an hour or so Gossip together in voices low. And some sprawl down upon the floor, And like young kittens mew and paw. While I sit in my hard earned chair And gnash my teeth and tear my hair. And does it not seem hard to you, When I have half my notes to do, For every one to laugh and _ chat, And roll around upon the mat? The Des Moines Conference (Specially Contributed by Dean Smith) One could not help wondering during the sessions of the Des Moines Con- vention just how much time and hard work, from how many people, had gone into the organization of the conference, and whether in the long run the months of preparation wotld prove to be worth while. Bringing together 7500 men and women from every corner of North America is no small task in itself, when one considers the detailed work involv- ed in arranging any meeting. But far more difficult than bringing the dele- gates and speakers together and provid- ing for their comfort must have been the task of planning a suitable program for the Convention. That a uniform standard of excellence in their addresses was maintained by the leaders of the conference speaks well not only for the committee who selected them, but also for the intellectual calibre of the men “and women who have given their lives to these high enterprises. Very wisely, considering the diversity of opinion rep- resented, discussion of pressing indus- trial or political problems was almost entirely omitted, but one after another the speakers from many nations appeal- { BEFORE Tety LEAVE FOR fag DES Moines TMER MorHEeRs SAY THEY LOR off To CHINA q°- tT winead” Tas eee ce jond hand can never have the power of | the original, but, even at second hand, inspiration is a mutual affair. It de- pends as much on the attitude of the audience as on the eloquence of the speaker.

WATER POLO SEASON BEGINS THURSDAY AFTER MIDYEARS Water polo practices will begin the first Thursday after midyears at 8.30 p. m. During midyears informal class practices will be held at noon. ‘The captains plan to organize three teams in each class. In order to play water polo, every student, including those with A cards must have a special medical examination. No students with B cards may play. Since the Senior and Sophomore first teams have each lost one member and the Junior line-up of last year stands intact, the champion- ship games promise to be close. The class captamms are: B.

For the coming semester it is planned that for every po- sition requiring two workers, three will be provided, and for those requiring one, In the future, Freshmen will not be used regularly until their second semester. In this way, each new group of students com- ing in will learn the work more thor- oughly and will be better qualified to undertake the responsibility of a regu- lar worker. Work by Classes Hereafter In general, the Social Service Com- mittee plans to allot the work accord- ing to classes. The Freshmen and Sophomores will be given work with children. The Sophomores will do gym- nasium work, especially since that is |the year when students are usually best trained for it. The Juniors and Seniors will be given the night work, such as the organization of clubs, might school classes, and general work with older people. Only the graduates will be per- mitted to do home visiting, This plan will not be kept: strictly in cases where stu- dents seem better fitted for work which would not normally be theirs. Night-school International This semester has vastly increased the interesting aspect of the work. The clubs and gymnasium classes and the visiting among factory workers has brought up many entertaining incidents. The night school, for example, is be- coming positively internatiomal in char- acter, since it includes a Russian and a Philippino. The latter is in the navy and is on a detail in Bryn Mawr. His people at home, he says, expect him to learn a great deal, since he is having the cultural advantages of a trip to America. Campaign to Rouse Fifty New Workers Next semester, the Social ‘Service Committee will need about fifty more workers, and is planning to have a cam- paign during the first week after midyears to get them. At the same time, it would like the names of all those who are defi- nitely willing to serve as substitutes. Ff Ac@oss T¥E srece rT THs MEETS ee «#E YE- ; WwRET Ry Tee StewT PRESENTS.

The Conference revealed to me a new side of the American college student often hidden from college presidents and professors. It is the custom of Amer- icans to conceal their religious nature under the garments of good form and convention; they do not lightly reveal their thoughts about religion, especially to older people. At Des Moines, stirred by the consciousness that they were only ‘a few among many and that they could, without reserve, discuss things that lay deep in their minds, this reserve was thrown off, and new perceptions were offered us of the seriousness with which some of our young men and women are facing the new world.” Dr. MacCracken was instructor in Eng- lish at the Syrian Protestant College. Bierut, Syria, 1900-1903. Robert E. Speer, Sec’y of Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions “I think the Student Volunteer Con- vention at Des Moines was significant for several reasons: It showed that the most effective idea, if one wants to draw the students of America together, is the idea of world service. It showed the homogenity of the student life of our-own country, and of our country and Canada, It revealed the deep interest of students of all sections of America in the tasks of helping men and nations to achieve right individual and _ national character and right personal and racial relations. It showed that the’ kind of Christianity that is loyal and true to the great facts of the New Testament is the most effective and inspiring power in the world, Dr. George A. Coe, Union Theological Seminary “It is safe to assume that thousands of the students at the Des Moines Con- ference were conscious that there is a world, and that world-welfare is their very own individual concern. These stu- dents will never relapse into the suffo- cating provincialism that is the reproach of America and even of our colleges. “Anyone who will compare the broad international spirit of the convention with the attitudes that prevail in the Sen- ate of the United States, and with the assumption that gave the League Cove- nant its deplorable narrowness, will un- derstand the significance of any meeting that can set thousands of students think- ing upon international relations from the Christian standpoint of brotherhood.” President of the Princeton Christian Association “What I personally was particularly impressed by at Des Moines was the need of a real, practical and virile relig- ion in the world, in the colleges of this country, and in our lives. In one of his talks Sherwood Eddy said he wasn’t very concerned with the question of our geography. ‘It’s not where you are, but what you are that counts,’ he said, and } think we'll do well to take this idea as a starting point in our lives.” THE SUN NEVER SETS ON BRYN MAWR ALUMNAE Bryn Mawr students are scattered all over the world, as is shown by the list of alumnae who are working in foreign lands, either as missionaries or teachers. Of a list of eighteen, ten are working in China, six in Japan, one in Mexico, one in South “Africa. s- sry cor fevered colleges, theo-| / logical seminaries, medical schools and} advanced training schools. Financial support of missions from universities and colleges has increased from $5000 a year a generation ago to $300,000 under the influence of the move- ment. Many of the colleges have under- taken to support their own missionaries. Yale, Princeton and Oberlin maintain mission stations. Conferences are held every four years. In 1891, 680 attended the conference; in 1920 over 7000 gathered from all parts of the world. B. M. BECOMES COSMOPOLITAN Nine Nationalities Represented at College This Year Nineteen foreign students representing nine countries are studying at Bryn Mawr College this year. Every year the number increases. Almost all of these students intend to return to their coun- tries to engage in social service, employ- men management, teaching or to con- tinue their studies. Many of them meet at the “Bryn Mawr Foyer” teas, which are held in M. Littell’s room twice a month, on Sundays. The students come from: England Muriel Barker—Newnham College, Cambridge.

DELEGATION OF 150 CHINESE ATTEND CONFERENCE Special Article Contributed by Fung Kei Liu One hundred and fifty Chinese Stu- dents attended the Des Moines conven- tion. Almost every state in this country, Canada, and every province of China were represented. The Christian Association of this country helped the Chinese students fi- nancially and in a great many other ways to make their delegation a fairly representative body of Christian’ men and women. In the afternoons we had sectional meetings just for ourselves. Such sub- jects were discussed as, the contribution of Christianity to our family, social, educational, industrial and commercial life, the need of Christian ministry, and the work done by the Y. M. C. A. in China, Some of our graduates and ex- perienced men and women gave the speeches. I only wish you could have been there to hear the sincere and enthusiastic talks, enumerating ithe freedbm, hap- piness, and prosperity which Christian- ity has brought to all kinds of life. One question of discussion was about industrial and commercial life. A stu- dent from the University of Pennsyl- vania, declared that at bottom there is not much Christianity in commercial life. Concrete facts were given by an- other student illustrating the un-Christ- ian means commonly employed in com- petition. The hot discussion was only ended by an American friend—a business man whose sons are missionaries in China—who acknowledged the un-Christ- ian spirit of the existing order every- where and urged us to fight for a right beginning in China. Many school teachers, preachers, and doctors were there. They all had seen China from within and from without. Their words of sympathy were a great encouragement to all of us. International brotherhood is the talk of the day. But whoever saw the re- unions of American teachers and Chinese student between conferences would have seen that the real universal brotherhood can only be obtained by mutual sym- pathy, and the help of the citizens of one nation given to another. China’s youth who have seen the real light, are not idle. But the task of improving the condition of a quarter of the people of the world and of a land larger than Europe is an immense task. A number of your people have come over to help us, and we want more. Delegates or Jellycakes One of the Chinese delegates to the Conference, upon arriving at Des Moines. telephoned a boarding house and asked the landlady if she could make ready for three delegates. The landlady said she “guessed she could,” rather doubtfully. When the delegates arrived in the after- noon and asked for their rooms the lady looked aghast and said “the house is full, I thought you asked me to make you three jellycakes.” ‘| as fe the Laan of Wastes on Sao e- .| fore us,” declared Dr. Eddy. “A year ago America was the most popular na- tion in the world, now ‘she is becoming the most hated nation. Yet whether we are loved or hated does not concern us, but only whether the United States de- serves to be loved or not.” America is now facing serious political, social and moral problems both at home and abroad. In this country 2 per cent. of the people own 60 per cent. of our wealth, while 65 per cent, of the masses own only 5 per cent. of the wealth. “Is this fair? Is this what Christ taught in the Sermon on the Mount?” asked Dr. Eddy. With our man power unimpaired, and possessing one-third of this world’s wealth, we cannot turn a deaf ear to the cries of India and the Near East. In India nine-tenths of the population re- ceive $10 a year, and yet she is uniting in a new national consciousness. The Armenians are making a last ap- peal to civilization, for they are in dan- ger of complete annihilation. They are asking for the honest help of America. Are we going to be too selfish to accept this responsibility? continued Dr. Eddy. During the war one woman mission- ary stayed in Constantinople and did all the work of the consuls, handling the af- fairs of thirteen different countries and in addition managing all the orphanages and hospitals. Are you going to spend your life-saving -others?_It is-_easy enough to stand by and criticize. A man in the game hasn’t time for this, so get off the side lines of criticism and into the game! STUDENT VOLUNTEERS AT B. M. PLAN TO GO TO LIBERIA AND CHINA The World Citizenship Club was form- ed last year by the Student Volunteers in college and those who are especially interested in work in foreign lands. The members of the club are:—M. M, Carey, ’20, C. Bickley, '21, E. Cope, ’21, M. Raw- son, ’22, O. Howard, '22, M. Speer, '22, A. Orbison, ’22, and G. H. Wang, gradu- ate student. Of these, three are Student Volunteers, Gwei Hswin Wang, Octavia Howard and Margaret Speer. M. Speer expects to teach in China. O. Howard intends to do medical missionary work in Liberia. G. H. Wang will enter John Hopkin’s Medical School, take a doctor’s degree, and return to China. EXHIBIT PICTURES NEED IN FOREIGN LANDS The exhibit of posters, charts and photographs of conditions in foreign countries was one of the features of the Conference. Over 450 panels made up the exhibit, many of which have been secured by the delegation and are hang- ing in the Christian Association Library. Such facts as these were represented: In Africa, one child in every reaches maturity. China has as many people as all the nations of Europe together. In India, five per cent. of the men, and one per cent. of the women can read. ten Schedule of a Day at the Conference 8.15-8.45.
