No Limit Set Yet For Quarantine

Dean Smith and Dr. Branson cannot
yet give definite information as to the
end of the quarantine. “At least it won’t
be lifted this week-end,” said Dean
Smith, “because the epidemic is still on
the increase in Philadelphia.”

According to Dr. Rea, in the two
weeks since the quarantine was put on
nine cases of influenza and four of
bronchial pneumonia have developed in
the college. “The influenza is lighter
this year than last year,” said Dr. Rea,
“and with less serious after-effects. The

epidemic seems to have been harder on

the graduates than on the undergradu-
ates,” she concluded.

 

MRS. SLADE PUTS ENDOWMENT
~ (BEFORE MASS MEETING

National Chairman Outline Plan of
Campaign to Student Body

Caroline McCormick Slade, ’96, nation-
al chairman of the Endowment Drive,
made the first formal appeal to the stu-
dent body in behalf of the Endowment
at a mass-meeting of graduates and un-
dergraduates last night in Taylor Hall.

“No college in the world has ever at-
tempted so gigantic a feat, as to get
$2,000,000 from 2,000 alumnae, said a
New York ‘business man to me the
other day,” began Mrs. Slade. “That
is the very reason why we are not go-
ing to fail....Our task is tremendous,
but we are going to put it through.

Emphasizing the gravity of the pre-
sent crisis, Mrs. Slade declared that of
all the people who enlisted in the war,
no group made the supreme sacrifice
that the teaching profession made. “We
know all too well that if tomorrow our
faculty had to leave us, we could not
get another to take its place.”

Faith in Publicity.
“How are we to get this money? There

steps in the Queen of Belgium,”
Mrs. Slade continued. “The one thing
I learned in my Bryn Mawr student days
was to avoid publicity, but experience in
war drives has shown the need for it.
Newspaper men tell me that even if we
put our message in the blackest type
on the front page of every paper, we
could not get it across. We must first
of all rouse interest and attention.”

 

 

TO DISCUSS CHAPERONE RULES
FOR GRADUATES

Three important matters have been
registered by a number of graduates for
discussion at the monthly Self Govern-
ment meeting to be held next Tuesday
evening in Taylor Hall.

Abolishment of the ruling that gradu-
ate students without academic appoint-
ments be forbidden to have social en-
gagements with members of the faculty
is the first question. Secondly, that grad-
uates be freed from all chaperone rules.
The final business would make all grad-
uates, regardless of age, authorized
chaperones. i

GRADUATE CLUB EMPHATICALLY
OPPOSES CHANGE IN RULES
The Graduate Club passed a sense of
the meeting Monday night, (to be pre-
sented to the Self Government meeting
next Tuesday,) which sets the Graduate

Club as definitely opposed to:

(1) Abolishing rule about social en-
gagements with men of the faculty.

(2) Freeing graduates under 25 years
of age from chaperone rules.

(3) Allowing all graduates, regard-
less of age, to be authorized chaperones.

SIEGFRIED SASSOON STRIPS
WAR OF ILLUSIONS

Soldier Poet Reads Poems Under
Auspices of English Club

The second of the British war poets
to lecture at Bryn Mawr, Siegfried Sas-
soon, proved to be a man whom war
had changed from the idyllist to the
satirist, a man whose power of portray-

ing natural beauty has been stifled by in-

dignation, and yet a man who is still
an idealist at heart. Mr. Sassoon gave
a commentative reading of his poetry
last Friday evening in Taylor Hall, un-
der the auspices of the English Club.

When Robert Nichols, the first repre-
sentative of “The Young Elizabethans,”
came to Bryn Mawr last year, although
the armistice had been signed, war was
still uppermost in everyone’s mind. In-
fluenced by it, Mr. Nichols’ audience re-
sponded to him with their emotions. The
poet was too close to the war to cull
from his own horrible experiences a gen-
eral theory.

Coming a year later, Siegfried Sassoon
rekindled in his audience, by appealing
to the intellect, a truer and deeper hat-
red of war and of all that it represents.

Reads Series of Ironic War Poems

“Blinded by no illusions concerning
the glory of war, the soldiers placed
truth above all,” said Mr. Sassoon.
“They realized that it was neither he-
roic nor necessary. It was for them
that I wrote my series of war poems—
records of the effects of war upon the
individual.”

Mr. Sassoon first read “Absolution,”
a poem written before he knew what war
really meant and when he too was influ-
enced by the glamour of August, 1914.
“In the Pink’ showed a step towards a
fuller realization of the horror involved
in fighting. It tells of a Tommy who
from his mud writes home that he is “in
the pink.”

“Tonight he’s in the pink; but soon he’ll
die,
still the
know why.”

And war goes on; he don't

“The Redeemer” and “Base Details”
show further the growth of indignation
that finally culminates in a poem,“ The
General,” the epitome of Sassoon’s sa-

tiric poems.

“Good the

morning; good morning!”
General said

When we met him last week on our way
to the line.

Now the soldiers he smiled at are most
of ’em dead

And we’re cursing his staff for incompe-
tent swine.

“He’s a cheery old card,” grunted Harry
to Jack

As they slugged up to Arras with rifle

and pack.

* *« * *« &© &

But he did for them both with his plan
of attack.”
Quotes from New Book, “Picture Show.”

Below all the irony and choking fury
against the established order of politi-
cal events, Sassoon
the idealist.

“So from these words you'd never guess
The stars and lilies I could see.”

This spirit becomes more apparent
when Mr. Sassoon read from “The Old
Huntsman” and from “Picture Show,” his
new book containing forty poems, only
seven of which are war poems. Of all

there are hints of

 

he read, “The South Wind” best shows

DR. J. GORDON GILKEY LEADS
ANNUAL WEEK-END CON-
FERENCE

Urges Rational Basis for Faith |

Three talks and an open forum led
by Dr. James Gordon Gilkey, of Spring-
field, constituted the thirteenth annual
conference of the Christian Association,
held here last Saturday and Sunday.
introducing Dr. Gilkey,
called him the man “under whose wing
a church in Springfield, other than his
own, voluntarily put itself for commu-
nity service work.”

Questions ranging from “Is God Om-
nipotent?” “Are the Miracles necessary
to a living faith?” to such as ‘What is
there in life to prove a purpose behind
it?” were answered by Dr, Gilkey in a
crowded. Forum on Sunday afternoon.
The time allotted was so short and the
questions so many that the discussion
was continued in the evening after the
chapel service.

Personal interviews were held early
Sunday afternoon. Speaking of them,
Dr. Gilkey said that they were the most
satisfactory he had ever held at a col-
lege. Committees wishing interviews
had to be refused because of the num-
ber of individual applications. The at-
tendance at the talks was good—I86 on
Saturday night, 136 on Sunday morning,
and 195 on Sunday evening.

Modern Man’s Convictions About God

“The acid test of reason does not de-
stroy religion. Intelligence would have
us believe at least three great things
of God,” Mr. Gilkey insisted in his first
lecture on Saturday evening, though he
admitted that there are many things
about God that the modern man realizes
he does not know.

“We can believe that there is a living
God behind life, a being of intelligence,
purpose and power,” he asserted. “God
is our best explanation of the physical
universe and its evolution, and of the
moral universe with its capacities for
love and sacrifice.

“We can believe that God cares about
us,” declared Mr. Gilkey. “Granted that
there is a God, He must care about’
something, and that something is human
beings, the most important things in
life.”

“God cannot alter the laws that He
Himself has made,” according to Mr.
Gilkey’s creed. God is fighting against
obstacles just as human beings are.
“This does not mean that some day God
will be conquered. As humanity grows
stronger and God gains co-operation of
more generations, He will become more
and more successful in working out his
purpose.”

LARGEST ANNUAL ALUMNAE
MEETING EVER HELD

Hold Round-Table Session During
Midyears to Launch Endowment

Two hundred and fifty alumnae
crowded the chapel on January 31 at the
opening of the largest annual meeting
ever held by the Alumnae Assoviation.
The three day meeting was turned into
a rournd table session in connection with
the launching of the $2,000,000 drive.

The opening of the drive was announ-
ced for March 1, when the first applica:
tions to the public will-be-made>—it-is 4
expected that all the Alumnae will have
been canvassed by that date.

A proposal to increase the goal of the
drive to a minimum of $4,000,000 was re-
jected on the grounds that it was better
to ask only for the $2,000,000 absolutely
necessary to meet immediate needs. As
the figures stand, an average of $1000
must be raised by each member of the
Alumnae Association.

It was voted to call the campaign
officially “The Bryn Mawr Endowment.”
The suggestion of “Bryn Mawr Pilgrim-
age, Crusade, and Quest,” was rejected,
aS was a suggestion to increase the en-
dowment by $1,000,000, the extra sum to
be used to found a department of music.

Intelligent Scruting

Credit for the lively and widespread
discussion aroused by the C. A. Confer-
ence last week-end goes to three sources,
_ to the untiring publicity efforts of the
committee, to the forceful challenge of
Dr. Gilkey himself, and to the generally
open and critical state of the college
mind, which would not have responded
to a purely emotional stimulus, but which
was ready to take up and think out any
statement made from an_ intellectual
basis.

Dr. Gilkey’s talks were an attempt to
put religion on the basis of reason, and
the success of the conference was meas-'
ured by the absence of passive recep-
tivity on the part of his audiences, and
their eagerness to put his convictions
‘through the “test of intelligent scrutiny.”

 

The Passing of the Dummy.

“Bridge, a structure over a chasm,”
says Webster. But the college would
amplify this to “a structure over the
chasm from morn to morn of quizless.
reportless, days.”

“Old maids’ home,” sniffs the unitia-
ted in passing as she hears the snap of
cards and a determined, “Five hearts!”
But the once scornful Senior, who is
completing her four rounds and staring
into a strange future, hears of endless
debutante bridge parties and begs to be
allowed to learn.

The dummy’s life is the fullest, for
she is able to achieve that once impos-
sible feat of two things at once. She
has been allowed to do everything but
read aloud. Now she may even make
paper flowers.

This is the beginning of the end. Soon
bridge will lie stark and cold, while
from the hands of all four players will
issue a multitude of pink paper-flowers,
hailing the coming of the spring.

Warning to Soldier Poets.
My friend, if you're a soldier poet

And wield a skillful pen,

Go not to Female Institutes—

Avoid this Lions’ den!

For when you've read your lecture out
They stand you near the wall,

Where girls file by, shake hands and sigh,
“He's so divinely tall!”

Then with an eager hungry look
They press pens in your hand,
And thousands say “Please sign this

book—
We think your poems are grand!”

When you've exhausted all your fund
Of genteel conversation,

The group sits still, lost in the thrill
Of hero-admiration.

But when its time to go to bed
They cannot seem to forego
Asking you if you like B. M.,

Or stock-yards in Chicago.

All soldier poets should beware
Of erudite receptions:

Some go, and live to tell the tale—
But these are the exceptions.
—B. K.

—K. L. W.

 

‘while anger is self-assertive.
Fear becomes modified into forms like.

 

manity’,, said Dr. Jastrow, “in terms of
social traits.” We can only live together
through the elaboration of the fear,
anger, and‘sympathy groups of emotions.”
Fear and sympathy are herd instincts,

worry, or homesickness, fear of estrange-
‘ment. The fear instinct involves a par-
odox, since the herd to which we run,
is the thing we are most afraid of. “Fear
of speaking before people,” said Dr. Jas-
trow, “is the miniature of the fear of
being mobbed.”

 

Dr. J. Gordon oe Leads Annual Week-
End Conference

(Continued from page 1)
A Modern Man’s Relations to Jesus

“What can we believe about Jesus
Christ?” was the question answered by
Dr. Gilkey in his sermon Sunday morn-
ing. His answer embodied four funda-
mental convictions about Jesus, empha-
sizing His humanity.

“Jesus, whatever else He may have
been, was the greatest teacher the world
has ever seen,” said Dr, Gilkey. “He
found a brutal world, where crucifixion
and child exposure were common occur-
rences, and left a world that had a new
democratic point of view, that realized
the value of every human being.”

“The best pattern for a human life
that the world has ever seen” was another
view of Jesus brought out by Dr. Gil-
key. While Jesus had the restricting
early environment of a narrow Jewish
community, He was the only person who
has ever escaped entirely the limitation
of heredity and early environment. His
was an amazing character, that still ex-
erts its influence in the world.

“Jesus is the best and clearest reve-
lation of God. We look for pictures of
God,” said Dr- Gilkey, “in human person-
ality.” The virtues in a person are all
bits of divine, and “we find in Jesus the
whole splendid goodness that in us is
fragmentary. To find God, we magni-
fy Jesus’ qualities to infinity. God is an
infinitely extended Jesus, and Jesus a
miniature of God.”

“Jesus, the Source of unique redemp-

tive power for all generations” was
translated by Dr. Gilkey into everyday
terms. It is the power, he said, that a

mother has over her child, or a man’s
fine friends have over him, that of call-
ing out all the latent moral forces like
courage and self-sacrifice.

Why) Have a Faith?

“What will faith do for you personally
in your present situation?” Dr. Gilkey
began at the final talk on Sunday even-
ing. “Great issues face every one of
you and it is for you to decide whether
or not you can meet them without a vi-
tal trust in God.”

“Above all, it is the primal duty of
everyone to make the most of himself,”
was the first issue that Dr. Gilkey con-
sidered could be best faced from the
point of view of religious faith. “We are
a bundle of half-fulfilled promises out
of which a vital force in the world must
be made. Skepticism cuts the nerve of
high endeavor and leaves a man to bat-
tle alone with inevitable death at the
end.”

“Am I worth my board and lodging
to life?” is the next question that Dr.
Gilkey believes everyone must face. He
showed that the world is asking whether
the college student is producing in pro-
portion to his college education. “This
is the problem that is yours to solve,”
concluded Dr. Gilkey. “Perhaps you
can answer it satisfactorily without
faith. I know that I couldn’t.”

Dr. Fenwick Lectures in Rochester Today

Dr. Fenwick: delivered an address be-
fore the Rochester Chamber of Com-
merce today, at the noon luncheon meet-
ing of the Chamber. The subject of

struction—Economic Conditions of the
Success of a League of Nations.”

In the afternoon he was scheduled to
address the alumnae of Bryn Mawr on
the subject of the Endowment Fund, and
in the evening to deliver an address be-
fore the Knights of Columbus on “De-
mocracy and Efficient Government.”

Siegfried Sassoon Strips War of Illusions
(Continued from page 1)

the idyllic poetry he wrote before his
war poems.

“The Poplar and the Moon,” “Butter
flies,” “A Letter Home,” written to Bob-
by Graves, the author of “Fairies and
Fusiliers” and “Invocation,” from the
new book, Mr. Sassoon read in answer
to insistent applause at the close of his

lecture.

Sassoon Advises Study of Hardy

An anecdote about Robert Nichols.
plans for his visit in the United States,
and his opinions about Thomas Hardy
and other writers kept eager listeners
crowding around Mr. Sassoon at the
English Club reception held after the
lecture.

“Young authors should study the poet-
ry of Thomas Hardy,” said Mr. Sassoon.
“His poetry is not so well known as his
prose, but there a lot of it and it
amply repays every moment spent upon
it.

When asked whether he had seen Rob-
ert Nichols lately, Mr. Sassoon replied,
“Ves—and the last time I saw him he
was limping. I asked him the reason.
He replied,
trying some of the Vachel Lindsay Dan-
iel Jaze.”

Mr. Sassoon is traveling toward Cali-
fornia, where in April he intends to
stop lecturing and spend some time out
of doors. Unlike many visitors to this
country, he is not going to write prose
journalistic impressions of the United
States, for he believes his outlook too
fleeting.

Miss Gertrude Ely, ex-'96, gave a din-
ner in honor of Mr. Sassoon at her home
in Bryn Mawr before the lecture.

The English Club, under whose aus-
pices Mr. Sassoon spoke, netted $80 from
the evening.

PART TWO
_FEZ AND THE WAY OUT

Fez, the infinitely old and infinitely
sacred religious and political center of
the Cheriffian Empire, lies in the valley
of the river Fez, it houses and gardens
creeping up the narrow gorge and along
the plateau from which the river de-
cends in a hundred cascades. Seen fror.
the surrounding bare and savage hills
enclosed in heavy crenellated  red-
brown walls 60 feet high, it is a veri-
table paradise of green gardens and
white mosques and houses. Slender and
green-tiled minarets and the tiled cupo-
la of the sacred tomb of Moulay Irdiss
II rise above the flat roofs of the houses,
and reflect the brilliant African sun at
noonday, and the lovely rose colour of
evening, when the sun sets behind the
distant Atlas mountains. For a thou-
sand years it has lain thus, beautiful
and remote,—a town of pilgrimage for
Mohammedans.

Ride Trough Fez on Mules

Seen from outside, the town looked
to us very spacious, but inside we found
it an almost inextricable network of nar
row and_ tortuous
threaded on our mules between mysteri- |
ous white walls, or through the busy |
souks (Bazaars) lined with shops. And |
up and down was always surging a}
crowd, handsomely dressed Fasi, offi- |
cials or merchants, negroes driving heav
ily laden donkeys who could more easily |
pass under the over-hanging caves than |

escaped the crowd of men and _ beasts
by creeping into the low doorways or
under the shop ledges.

Search Shops for Deanery Curtains

The shops are about four feet above
the pavement, and the shopkeepers climb
up to them by hanging ropes, when they |
have taken down their shutters, and com-

rooms awaiting purchasers with orien-|
tal indifference. We found them al- |
most annoyed with our desire to buy
new curtains for the Deanery working- |
room of the silk and cotton-and-gold |

Fez, but when we insisted, they srade- |

THE COLLEGE NEWS

_ Henna Nails Insignia for Wedlock

The Jewish women, on the contrary,
whom we met in their own special quar-
ter, the Mellah, go about quite freely,
with faces uncovered under a bright
kerchief or handsome green velvet cap,
and. wearing brilliant clothes covered
with jewelry. The little girls, too, are
richly dressed, but generally, alas! their
finger nails, even at five or six years.
are dyed with henna, which means mar-
riage.

The narrow streets of the Mullah were
crowded, too, but largely with French
or Spanish soldiers and working-men,
(there were no tourists of any nation-
ality,) searching for the drinks that can-
not be found in Mohammedan “dry”
Fez. If any Arabs were seated at the
Jewish cafes, they were only drinking
elaborately sweetened tea, the national
drink, and were seldom smoking.

Often in Fez, we peeped into the tiny
stuffy school-rooms, where we could see
the boys squatting on the crowded floor,
rocking to and fro, as they conned their
lesson. The smaller boys of four or
five years were in front for handcuffs
from the venerable master, while the old-
er boys at the back were within reach

 

Jet Wr rod. All slong cur walla, the

hum of their monotonous voices could
be heard above the street cries and the
noise of the many waters of Fez. The
gurgling fountains and the rushing
streams under the houses, fill the night
with soothing sounds, otherwise quiet
till the Meuzzins call to prayer from
every minaret at dawn.

Military Escort on Road to Algiers

We had to tear ourselves away from
Fez, as we wanted to reach Algiers and
Tunis before the winter rains, but as
it had been difficult to get to Fez from
the southwest, it seemed impossible to
get away through the east. The tribes
were in rebellion; the motor road of
100 miles to Taza was bad, and the light
train from Taza to the frontier was pre-
empted for military transport. We final-
ly secured a car, however, to carry us
along the Taza road, carefully guarded
by gaily dressed native cavalry, or by
infantry ensconced on hillocks behind
sandbags with pointing rifles. Our guide
was especially afraid of brigands, and the
chauffeur would only stop for our pic-
nic lunch by .a soldiers’ encampment.
and put on tremendous speed to hurry
by some armed natives at a lonely spot

 

of the road.

After twelve hours of jolting and ut-
ter discomfort, we reached the Algerian
frontier and found a comfortable train
for Algiers and civilization. Now we
are settled in a perfect French hotel,
overlooking the lovely bay of Algiers
and the white apartment houses like a
minature Paris, which the French have
created out of Barbarossa’s pirate town,
where Cervantes was once a prisoner.
As Algiers is only 36 hours from Mar-
seilles, we have reached the land of tour-
ists, including several sulky and silent
brides and grooms, who have omitted
to provide themselves, as we have done,
with novels and interesting books of tra-
vel to read at table d’hote.

 

BATES HOUSE TO BE RENOVATED
Although in such great need of repair
last summer that it was feared the
building could not be used again, Bates
House will be run as usual this year.
It is being completely done over and
repapered; the plumbing will be fixed
and the leaks in the roof mended, so
that in June the children from New
York and their mothers will find it ready
for another vacation.

LECTRICITY has leveled out
the Continental Divide. The
steam locomotive, marvelous as it is
after a century of development, can-
not meet allof the presentdemandsfor
transportation facilities. Its electric
tival has proved to be far superior.

On the mountain divisions of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railway—the world’s greatest elec-
trification—giant electric locomotives
today lift an ever increasing freight
tonnage over the mile-high Rockies
and also make traveling clean and
comfortable. They utilize the abun-
dant energy of distant waterfalls and
then, by returning some of this
power to the trolley, safely brake the
trains on descending grades. And
their capabilities are not impaired
by excessively cold weather when the
steam engine is frozen and helpless.

The Power of Electricity
in Transportation

 
 

Electricity is the power which
drives the trains of New York City’s
subway and elevated systems. It
operates the locks and tows the ships
through the Panama Canal. It pro-
pels the Navy's latest super-dread-
naught, the New Mexico. Electric
mine locomotives have replaced the
slow-moving mule and the electric
automobile has also come todoan im- |
portantservice. Such achievements

were made possible by the extensive

research and manufacturing activities

of the General Electric Company.

 

Electricity has become the universal
motive power. It has contributed
efficiency and comfort to every form
of transportation service and in this
evolution General Electric apparatus
has played a large part — from
mighty electric locomotives to
the tiny lamp for the automobile.

Bible Not to be Taken Literally says Dr.
Greene in First Lecture

“The Bible was never meant to be
scientific. Modern historical criticism
considers the Bible an ancient literature
written for an ancient people, not to be
taken word for word by the modern
world,” said Dr. Theodore A. Greene
associate pastor of Brick Presbyterian
church, New York. Dr. Greene gave the
first of his series of lectures on “The
Challenge of Christ in the Year 1920’
last Wednesday evening.

In speaking! of the “Changes of
Thought That Have Put Early Methods
of Bible Usage out of Date”, Dr. Greene
insisted that “the principle interest of
the writers of the Bible was religion.
That is why the story of Genesis is in-
finitely better than any other legendary
tale of the world’s beginning. The whole
story is on a splendid ethical basis, with
a deep religious spirit prevailing.”

This week Dr. Greene’s subject is “The
Bible Message about God and Man”,
tracing through the Old and the New
Testaments the idea about God and man.

SPORTING NOTES

The swimming pool has been closed
indefinitely on account of the influenza
epidemic.

Two forty-minute periods of tobog-
ganing, on the slides made by the stu-
dents on campus, may be substituted for
water polo and swimming, and forty
minutes’ work on constructing the slides
may be substituted for a period of danc-
ing or gymnasium work.

The apparatus captains are: 1920: (1)
H. Ferris, (2) M. Littell; 1921: (1) .E.

SOPHOMORE-FRESHMAN. SNOWFIGHT |
‘May-Day Committees have been elec-

DREW BLOOD ON BOTH SIDES

The gory snowball battle that took
place between the Sophomores and
Freshmen last Saturday afternoon on
Merion green, resulted in no decisive
victory for either ‘side. A_ slight ad.
vantage went to 1922, who, under the
furious onslaughts of E. Anderson, F.
Bliss, A. Nicoll and R. Neel, threatened
the Freshman flag again and again. The
Sophomore flag, guarded by E. Dona-
hue and M. Crosby, fluttered defiantly
from the top of the fort throughout the
entire conflict, in spite of the valiant ef-
forts of A. Smith and E. Vincent, who
were leading 1923.

The crucial moment of the fight was
when 1923’s flag was snatched from the
battlements by R. Neel, and carried half-
way across to the Sophomore fort, in
the midst of a biting, scratching mass of
warriors. The combatants rolled on the
ground, pommelling one another cruelly
until the whistle blew and the mob dis-
integrated, leaving the Sophomores with
the wrong end of the broken hockey
stick to which the Freshman flag was
fastened.

Cocoa and sandwiches were served by
1923 to the Sophomores (in Merion
Hall) after the battle.

Vocational Conference in March

The date for the Vocational Confer-
ence has been settled for Friday, March
12, afternoon and evening. Any sugges-
tions as to speakers or topics of discus-
sion should be dropped in the box out-
side the Dean’s Office. Class commit-
tees are being organized to help in ar-
ranging this conference.

 

RABBI OF ISRAEL HEBREW CONGRE-
GATION HERE SUNDAY

Dr. Joseph Krauskopf, Rabbi of Ken-
eseth Israel Hebrew Congregation, Phil-
adelphia, is the speaker for the next Sun-
day evening service. His talk, “Thus
saith the Lord” will be a _ characteri-
zation of the old Testament prophets,
with reference to the sort of men needed
in the world today.

Dr. Krauskopf’s comparison of Card-
inal Mercier defying the Germans to the
“prophets of Israel” and the “martyr
saint of the church,” in an address last
September has the germ of the idea
around which his address here will be
centered.

Art of Etching Illustrated in Loan
Exhibition in Library.

 

Whistler and Pennell Represented.

The upper north corridor of the Li-
brary has been turned into an exhibition
gallery for loan collections of etchings.
Mr. Albert McVitty of Bryn Mawr has
offered access to his collection of etch-
ings to the art department of the college,
which will arrange the exhibitions in four
series, and change the pictures every ten
days.

The first series opened last
and will last through Saturday.

Thursday

Notable features of the exhibition are
an early Whistler,—‘‘Adam and Eve Tav-
ern in Old Chelsea,” “Sunset Over Wat-
erloo,” by Joseph Pennell, “Views of

Portsmouth,” by Childe Hassam,' and a
distinctive dry-point by Frank Benson.

A. combined journalistic and literary
publication has made its first appear-
ance at the Phebe Ann Thorne Model
School. It is to be issued twice a month

Editor-in-chief.

The first number, which appeared last
week, predicts interesting matter for
the future. Besides . several clever
poems, it contains a well-written review
of the Faculty Concert. In the Editorial
Column the history of the paper is brief-
ly outlined, as the “combined work,
after rival attempts in the past, of
classes IV and V to maintain a paper
with literary selections.’ Any student
may contribute.

The students came over to the college
to mimeograph the first issue, but later
on they hope to have their own print-
ing press. At present the greatest prob-
lem before the editors is an appropriate
name for the paper; the whole school
is to vote on the matter soon.

PLANS FOR SEMESTER DISCUSSED
AT C. A. CABINET MEETING

Would Give Board Members Working
Knowledge of Association

Eleven members on the board and
board chairmen of important committes
are part of the new scheme of organiza-
tion outlined at the meeting of C. A.
Cabinet held last Thursday evening in
Denbigh.

M. Carey, ’20, President of the associa-
tion, explained a form of organization
that would make the board members ex-
ecutives on committees. Each member
of the board, except the President and
Freshman member, would be assigned to
one of the most important standing com-
mittees of which she would automatical-
ly become chairman. The other commit-
tees would unite in electing other rep-
tesentatives on the board. The Fresh-
man member elected after Christmas
would become secretary. Thus without
lessening class representation the board
would obtain a working and not a the-
oretical knowledge of the association
it was governing.

Faculty Tea for Graduates.

The first of three teas given by the
faculty to the graduate students was
held this afternoon in Radnor. Hall
Members of the faculty who received
were Dean Smith, Professor and Mrs
Sanders, Professor and Mrs. Barnes, and
Professor Schenck.

Myth of German Intellectual Superior-
ity.” The lecture, which will be under
the auspices of the History Club, will
show that “the brains that won the war
can preserve the fruits of victory.”

Before the war, Major Bles was a
well-known English editor, artist and
lecturer. In August, 1914, he raised in
Paris, Major Bles’ Rough Riders, com-
posed of 70 per cent. American volun-
teers. Although Major Bles is little
known in America, he is considered the
best lecturer in the British army. In ad-
dition to his work in the trenches and
his duties as Town Major of Roubaix,
and later as British Administrator in
Cologne, he delivered 408 lectures to of-
ficers and men during the last two years
of war.

Major Bles’ lecture tour in the Unit-
ed States is under the auspices of a com-
mittee headed by the Prince of Wales,
and including such men .as_ Premier
Clemenceau, Marshal Foch and Field

“Marshal Haig.

EVENS BOOST CLASS MORALE
Will Hold Even Class Council.

Reproducing the College Council on
a smaller scale, the Seniors and Sopho-
mores have instituted an “Even Class
Council” which will hold its first sitting
tomorrow. Representatives serving on
the Council will be the officers of the
two classes, and the hall representatives.

Topics listed for discussion are: “What
is your. class contributing to Bryn
Mawr?”; “Why be athletic?”; “Why don’t
we sing well?”; “The advantages of hall
organization;” and “Class parties—how
many, and of what kind.”

Revive Even Class Book.

“Rules of etiquette for every college
occasion” are being worked out and tab-
ulated by the class officers of 1920 and
1922, who are rewriting thes “Even Class
Book.” The odd classes have never had
such an institution, but the evens have
kept it for many years, handing down
the book from Senior to Sophomore
president.

This year the book is being thoroughly
revised, and will contain such headings
as; “do’s and don'ts” for Freshmen; an
outline of the class business for the
whole year; list of songs needed for
every occasion, etc.

“With the Natives of Siberia” will

be the subject of a lecture illustrated
with lantern slides, to be given by Miss
Marie Czoplicka, Polish explorer and
Oxford University lecturer, in Taylor
Hall, Friday afternoon at 4.30.
. Miss Czoplicka headed, in 1914-15, an
anthropological expedition to the Yene-
sei Valley, in Siberia, and has written
a book on the subject, called “My Sibe-
rian Year.” “Besides being an expert
in her subject,” says one critic, “Miss
Czoplicka has the gifts of popular ex-
position and vivid description. She com-
bines in a rare manner the insight and
sympathy of the artist with the knowl-
edge and accuracy of the scholar.”
