—— Votume VI. No. 16 i ———- BRYN MAWR, PA., THURSDAY, FEBUARY 26, 1920 Price 5 Cents -M. LOUIS CONS OF PRINCETON TO SPEAK FOR FRENCH CLUB ‘Won Croix de Guerre at Verdun “Souvenirs d’un Ecouteur” (At the Listening Post) will be the subject of the lecture to be given in the chapel next Saturday evening under the au- spices of the French Club, by M. Louis Cons, of Princeton University. Profes- sor Cons was Associate in French at Bryn Mawr from 1911 to 1914. In August, 1914, he was teaching at the summer school of Columbia Univer- sity, and upon the news of the mobiliza- tion, he and Madame Cons, who is an American, took the first boat for France, so that M. Cons might join his regiment, the 112th Infantry (Corps Alpin). He was in active service during the entire war, being for ten months an “ecouteur interprete” engaged in the very dan- gerous and important task of tapping German telephone wires, “un joli me- tier,” to quote his own words. In No- vember, 1915, at Verdun, he received the Croix de Guerre. Madame Cons, who may come to Bryn Mawr with her husband, organized ac- tive and valuable relief work among the soldiers whose families were in the in- vaded districts, and established a con- valescent home near Paris for those of her men who had been wounded. TO RAISE MAY DAY EXPENSE FUND BY STUDENT GIFTS Graduate Play Cast Funds to start May Day preparation will be raised by voluntary student sub- scription, according to a vote taken at the Undergraduate Association meeting last week. Members of the May Day Committee will be in the halls next Monday after luncheon dinner to receive contributions. This fund will cover damages to cos- tumes, etc. Last May Day each student was assessed two dollars for the same purpose. The graduate play, The Nice Wanton, was cast last week as follows: Delilagh—J. Davies Ishmail—M. Barker Barnabas—M. Price Iniquity—M. Knapp Zantippe—M. Flannery Eulalia—F. Penrose Worldly Shame—H. Spalding Judge—R. Woodruff Messenger—E. Copenhaver Bayley—A. Newlin Bayley—I. Haupt Prompter—A. Martin WANT PIANOS AND VICTROLAS IN HALLS OF RESIDENCE Undergraduates Ask to Confer With Trus- tees That the majority of the undergraduates wish to have removed the restriction for- bidding pianos and victrolas in the halls, is shown by an almost unanimous sense of the meeting taken at a meeting of the Undergraduate Association last Thursday. An amendment to the effect that the students would like to be al- lowed private victrolas in their rooms was voted down in favor of a single hall victrola. It was voted that the Board appoint a committee to ask a conference with BLASCO IBANEZ To Study College Life for New Novel “Many American girls and a great col- lege will appear in my new novel, El Paraiso de las Mujeres (The Paradise of Women),” wrote Blasco Ibanez to the president of the Spanish Club, when he was accepting her invitation to come to Bryn Mawr. Since Ibanez refused an offer to go to the University of Pennsylvania to come to Bryn Mawr because he is anx- ious to study the life of an American woman’s college, he will be given an opportunity to see as many of the col- lege activities as possible. A water polo game will be staged for him, so that his desire to “see women run after a ball” will be gratified, and he will have dinner with the Spanish Club in one of the halls. VOCATIONAL CONFERENCE TO AID PUBLICITY FOR ENDOWMENT DRIVE Postponed Until April 9 $y a special vote of the faculty com- mittee, the Vocational Conference has been linked with the Endowment Fund Drive and has been postponed until the week-end of April 9. A rally will be led that Friday evening by a noted educa- tionalist, possibly President Lowell, of Harvard. Dean Smith, speaking in Chapel on the results of the class votes, showed that scientific work is the most popular, hav- ing 291 votes. “One Freshman when ask- ed why she had voted for astronomy re- plied ‘Because it is the only subject of which I know absolutely nothing.’” Social work is second, having 246 votes. Votes for business, art, journal- ism, home economics, teaching, law, mis- sions, agriculture and library work fol- low. This vote is not conclusive, since classes conducted their voting different- the Trustees in the matter.

Prison a Second Home for Ibanez A self-made man and a “fighter from the first,” according to Senorita Dorado, Ibanez, now in his fifty-fourth year, can look back at a life of active struggle. At the age of 18 he was imprisoned for an anti-government sonnet, and has been sent to jail more than thirty times dur- ing his life for political offenses. Exiled, pardoned, pleading the radical cause in person and in his writings, he was ac- claimed leader of the Republican party. Later, disheartened by the lack of or- ganization among the anti-monarchists, he set out to colonize South America, and built a town around the bust of Cer- vantes. When the war broke out, he had special permission from the French government to go to the Marne battle- front for a realistic picture for his novel, “The Four Horsemen.” Celebrate Ibanez Feastday In intervals of exile and imprisonment he founded a Republican newspaper, di- rected his own publishing-house, and is at present writing a monumental “His- tory of the War of 1914.” He was hon- SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION VOTES CHAIR TO BRYN MAWR Memorial to Anna Howard Shaw Joint foundation of a Chair in Poli- tics at Bryn Mawr and a Chair in Pre. ventive Medicine at the Women’s Medi: cal College in Philadelphia is to be the Official National Suffrage Memorial to Dr. Anna Howard Shaw. The vote for the Memorial was taken at the conven- tion of the National American Women’s Suffrage Association, held in Chicago, February 13. “Pennsylvania women certainly dic good team work in procuring for their state the two memorial chairs,” says the Public Ledger. The first decision of the convention by a vote of 159 to 154 was to raise the memorial solely for Bryn Mawr. But the Bryn Mawr dele- gates protested that since the vote was so close, the Women’s Medical College should be given another chance. After reconsideration, the final vote was to raise a joint memorial for both colleges, all money subscribed to be divided even- ly between the two institutions, except when otherwise designated.

Mr. MacAlarney is coming to Bryn Mawr at the invitation of the College News Board, and will direct his appeal particularly to all students interested in making writing commercially successful. “What I shall say to you at Bryn Mawr is not going to be all in the nature of an address,” Mr. MacAlarney wrote to the editor of the News. “I am coming down to talk practically, I hope, about certain phases of work on newspapers, and I tain fundamentals.” (Continued on page 7) if I were to prepare in rounded out form a perfectly well sounding, but more or president, A paper was passed through less unsatisfactory, presentation of cer-|the audience for signatures lectured under the auspices of the His- tory Club, illustrating his talk with strategical maps. | Major Bles demonstrated the uncanny | pyschological sense of the great Frencti- |men, which pierced every German plan as fast as it was made and turned it against itself. “Strategy,” he declared, “is the psychological art of reading the other man’s brain and forestalling his move.” | | French Strategy Outwits Germans. The situation at the battle of the Marne illustrated the difference between German and French psychology. The Germans, with all their reserves in Kus- sia, had to move up men from some other part of their line opposite the French strongholds.

We are issuing an extra supplement in this num- ber to include the-articles of importance of last week’s News. © THE POINT SYSTEM One of the advantages of a college education is admittedly the training af- forded in leadership and organization through college activities. In as small a college as Bryn Mawr, there are of- fices enough for the majority of the stu- dents to have a part in the college ma- chinery. One of the advantages ‘of a point system would be wider distribu- tion of offices and the reduction of the submerged tenth to a much smaller fraction, The overworked general fac- totum would vanish, and with her the student who slips through college nu- noticed to develop later into an organizer of no mean ability. Why deprive the college of good workers simply because the voters, catching sight of familiar names on a list of -nominees, react to these as a matter of habit? “R, i. P.” It takes more courage to shoot a dog than to let him die a lingering death. The action of the editorial board of the Lantern in definitely closing the life of that publication is to be heartily com- mended. The Lantern had outgrown its usefulness in college thought and life It was rarely seen by the undergraduates because it was published during the sum- mer, and if, it constituted a definite in- terest for the Alumnae, it did not gain their support in the form of spontaneous contributions. The Alumnae number of the Bryn Mawr Review can provide a more living and up-to-date channel for bringing Alumnae work to the college. May the ashes of the Lantern rest in peace until a definite need shall call them to life again! “Flung roses riotously with the throng To dance the dim gray library out of mind.” With apologies to Ernest Dowson. But what is the use of dancing, riot- ously or not, to the tune of one ukelele, _one comb, one pair of shoe trees, and one saucepan. Maybe pianos and phono- graphs would be allowed in the halls if the authorities realized that the stu-] dent body was being shellshocked while all the household utensils were being broken in our attempts for melody.

We have introduced a few innovations and we need your help to make them successful. We put up the Employment Bureau bulletin board in Taylor, on the second floor, just out- side the room F. Upon that board we have been posting slips of papers so that those who want work done can put their names and the kind of work they have upon that paper. Those who can do that work sign up in the space provided for that purpose. This device has been put up for you. Use it. I would also like to make an appeal to the faculty to use this device as much as possible.

To the editor of the College News: In behalf of the present board, I wish to state that no “Lantern” will be pub- lished this year, and to explain why such a step is necessary. “The Lantern” which started in 1891, and of which Miss Donnelly was editor- in-chief during her senior year, was originally the only gollege magazine. Later The Philistine and then Tipyn o’ Bob were: published, but The Lantern continued to be the most important Bryn Mawr magazine. In 1914, Winifred Good- all who was editor-in-chief of Tipyn o’Bob, was also editor of The Lantern and from that time the two magazines have been brought out by the same board. Recently, The Lantern came to be regarded as an alumnae magazine—a very different state from that which had prevailed a few years earlier—and the editors found, owing possibly to war conditions, that the alumnae’s contribu- tions were so few in number that it was difficult to get out a Lantern at all. In- deed I know that last year in answer to about twenty letters that I wrote, I re- ceived work from only one contributor. The year before I had had an experience practically similar. Interest among the undergraduates was so slight that many of them had no idea what The Lantern was. While The Lantern was thus passing into a decline, printer’s rates were rising. For awhile The Lantern’s deficit was made up fom the Tipyn o’Bob funds, but when prices rose fifty per cent in one summer, it became impossible to sup- port a magazine that had been brought out at a loss when rates were lower. In view of these facts, the editors hope that those who care particularly for The Lantern will realize that it is impos- sible for it to appear this year, and, that the college may not be wholly deprived of alumnae work, the editors have made the present issue of the Bryn Mawr Re- view an alumnae number.

What they need most acknowledged standing, Bryn Mawr would be the first woman’s college to next year we could start | would consist of a series of lectures, and, far more important, a large number of informal meetings to help undergradu- ates individually in their work.

If this attempt started by the undergraduates could be set on foot when the Endowment Campaign is launched on March 1st, publicity regard- ing this new idea might attract individu- als whose contributions might not other- wise be forthcoming. Should such a lectureship prove suc- cessful when tried out next year, we feel sure that there would always be organi- |zations in college which would make possible its) continuance for each suc- ceeding year until the directors could permanently endow a chair of poetry. The founding of such a chair would mean increasing opportunity for direct contact with what is being accomplish- ed in the world of art and literature. It would mean, furthermore, a broadening of college life in point of view and ac- complishment. HELEN HILL, KATHARINE WARD, HALLS TO COMPETE FOR FIRE DRILL PRIZE ‘Competitive fire drills start within the next few weeks. The drills, which are to be judged by C.

SERVICES SHOWS INCREASE SINCE LAST YEAR. | Larger attendance at both Chapel and Vesper services this year is shown by Statistics compiled from the services of the first eleven weeks of 1919—’20, The figures are as follows: 1919—’20 1918—’20 Vespers Average ..... «. 106 92 a 160 195 ee 59 50 Chapel Average ......... 151 147 mene .........., 300 230 PO os ova eck 79 72 The record attendance of three hun- dred was made when Mrs. Booth spoke at the Chapel service held in the Gym- nasium. NEWS IN BRIEF Friday morning chapel for the rest of the year will be devoted by President Taft to a discussion of the new books of the year. Dr. Susan M. Kingsbury addressed the Bryn Mawr Club of Boston on the En- dowment Fund Drive on February 11. Beginning March third Dr. Chew will give a course ‘on the literary inter- pretation of the New Testament under the auspices of the Bible Study Com- mittee. Last winter Dr. Chew interpre- tated the Old Testament from the point of view of a literary critic. New members admitted to the Eng- lish Club as a result of grades obtain- ed at mid-years are L. Hales, 7 YT, Flexner, '21, I. Maginnis, ’21 and E. Sheppard, ’21. Evelyn Page, '23, was elected presi- dent of the Reeling and Writhing Club at a meeting on February 12. Marie Willcox, '22 is secretary. A Vesper Choir with L. Grim as lead- er, will be made up of: Sopranos: J. Pey- ton, M. Foot, D. Stewart, E. Hall, C. Bickley, M. Morton, K. Woodward, H. Bennett, I. Arnold, A, Gable; altos: M. Hardy, O. Pell, S. Hand, A. Orbison, H. Guthrie, E. Hobdy, M. Tyler: bass- es: J. Palache, K. Tyler, I. Jacobi. A change has been made in the stud- ent coaches for May Day plays: Robin Hood, C Skinner, 22; The Old Wives Tale, H. Hill, ’21; A Midsummer Night’s Dream, A. Harrison, 20; St. George, A. Martin and E. Taylor, ’21, E. Page has been elected vice presi- dent of 1923 in place of E. Bright who resigned because of merits. The sewing committee has started work on 60 garments for the children of Dr. Grenfell’s mission, in Labrador. The second edition of Humble Voy- agers, the booklet of the Reeling and Writhing Club, will be on sale Friday morning; price thirty five cents. H. Scribner, '23, has been elected to the central May Day committee in place of E. Bright who resigned because of merits. Acting President Taft will address the Springfield (Mass.) Women’s Club on Wednesday. A. Rood, '20; H. James, '21; C. Bick- ley, "21; E. Donnelly, "21, and V. Liddell, "22, were chosen by the Christian Associ- ation to “adopt” orphans in the Home of the Good Shepherd at Garrett Hill. Leuba, “because it marks a step forward in human history; it is the first attempt to bring to an objective test beliefs until now supported only on tradition, desire and metaphysical arguments. | not be long now, we may hope; before the traditional belief in a God who an- swers prayer will also be recognized as open to similar inductive methods of re- search, “IT should probably say also that I am not averse to every kind of survival af- ter death. But from the kind of future life which mediums are now disclosing to us, I devoutly wish to be preserved.” Spiritism Degradation of Hopes and Ideals When Dr. Leuba had expiained certain phenomena attributed by Sir Oliver Lodge to Spiritism, he summed up his conclusions on the subject as follows: “1, The evidential messages that re- fer to things of this earth fail to carry conviction because they are open to ex- planation as clever guesses or luck, or as fraud, or as telepathy. 2, The communications purporting to. represent the nature of the other world are not merely absolutely lacking in evi- dential value, but they also clearly sug- gest an earthly origin. 3.. One cannot reconcile the existence of spirits able to communicate no end of things and claiming to know much that is going on on earth, with their inability to do any of the many things that would constitute an incontrovertible proof of their existence. 4. Nothing in Sir Oliver is stranger and more ill placed than the missionary zeal with which he presses his faith upon an incredulous world. Never was a man less entitled to regard himself as a public benefactor. Whether illusory or not, and vague as it is, the Christian faith in immortality is the expression of some of the noblest yearnings of hu- manity. But instead of being a demon. stration of that faith, the picture present- ed to us by contemporary spiritism is a degradation: of the hopes and_ ideals which in centuries past have given rise to that belief. ¢ Sir Oliver Lodge speaks as if the sal- vation of society depended upon the pos- sibility of holding converse with those we have lost. If humanity is at this mo- ment threatened with appalling calami- ties, it is neither because the living have forgotten their dead nor because they weep for them and yearn for c\ nmuni- cation with them. It is rather because men and women live too exclusively for those who are nearest them; it is because their vision and devotion do not extend to the living who are not of their flesh and blood, The prophet for which humanity is waiting is not he who would help us to soothe our selfish sorrows by visits to mediums and sittings at rapping tables but who would turn our eyes and our affection upon the multitudes of the liv- ing for whom this earth has not yet been made habitable. FOURTEEN RECEIVE COMMUNITY SINGING CERTIFICATES Fourteen Community Singing certifi- cates have been sent by Mr. Lawrence to students who registered at least six of his Community Singing Classes, and are capable of conducting informal sings. Those receiving the certificates are: 1920, H. Ferris, L. Kellogg; 1921, E. Boswell, C. Mottu; 1922, E. Hall, C. LaBoiteaux, G. Rhoads, M. Tyler; 1923, M. Carey, E. Child, E. Philbrick, K. Raht, C. Stewart, E. Vincent. “T welcome ou ‘éfort ke 4 te ee | lish, on objective scientific grounds, the} belief in survival after death,” began Dr. It. may} Te in chapel, ‘denied ‘that mission. — “No fixed number of points io or required above fifteen,” said Miss Taft. “But when it became evident that there would be no room for all the students who had passed the fifteen points, wq decided it was fairer to.admit only the students who seemed qualified to do satisfactory work when in college.” Four or five points of conditions put a stu- dent under a disadvantage in doing col- lege work, she added. Therefore stu- dents having four or five points of con- ditions in the spring were advised to pass them off before the fall and then were considered with candidates coming up in the autumn. CAMPIMETRY DISCUSSED BY DR. FERREE AND DR. RAND Dr. Ferree and Rr. Rand discussed, with demonstrations, the subject of “The Standardization of the Factors Influenc- ing the Campimetric and Perimetric De- terminations of Retinal Sensitivity” be- fore the Ophthalmological Section of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, on Thursday, February 19. The work on this subject was begun by Dr. Rand nine years ago in the Bryn Mawr Laboratory and has been carried on by her more or less continuously since that time. The problem of the better standardization of the clinic practice of perimetry and campimetry 1s now being considered bya special_committee—of the American Ophthalmological Society, of which committee Dr. Ferree has re- cently been appointed a member. No Advanced Standing for Seniors Except for Itness in Junior Year The only condition allowing seniors to take advanced standing examinations is a loss of hours in their junior year due to illness, according to a recent de- cision of the Faculty. The rule allowing students to take ad- vanced standing examinations only up to the beginning of their junior year is a wise one, the Faculty decided at a Jan- uary meeting—and ought not to be set aside except in the case of students who have been ill in the junior year and have lost time through no fault of their own. First Lecture for the Malds in Taylor Hall A lecture for the maids was held in Taylor Hall on February 13, by Miss Mary Ovington, chairman of the Execu- tive Board of the National Association for the advancement of the Colored Race. Miss Ovington set forth present- day issues that confront the negro race and presented the work of prominent colored men and women to an audience of 55 of the 68 maids in college. Miss Ovington, who is at work upon a novel dealing with the negro question, led an informal discussion after the lec- ture. Hereafter, current event classes for the maids will be held every Wednesday evening in Taylor. E. Godwin, ’21, spoke last week on the presidential elections. The committee in charge is: W. Wor- cester, ‘21 (chairman); C. Needham, Graduate; M. P. Kirkland, '21; K. Cowen, 21; E. Jennings, ’23. SIX UNDER-CLASSMEN COMPETE FOR “REVIEW” BUSINESS BOARD Two Sophomores and four Freshmen, H. Jennings, and C. Bennett, from 1922; N. Fitzgerald, M. Lawrence, F. Sellig- man and M. Macferran, from 1923, have entered the competition for the business board of the Review.

Plans for a point system limiting the number of positions that may be held by one student are being drawn up by the Undergraduate Board. The proposed plan will be dieiniid with association and club officers and at class meetings before being submitted to the Undergraduate Association as a whole. ' Of the colleges which have replied to letters written them on this subject, all have tried the system, or are seriously discussing it. Where it has been tried out, all the colleges have found it entire- ly successful except Smith which is working out\a new plan. Mt. Holyoke has based its system on a basis of 40| points, with the highest single office counting 30 points. Goucher College re- cords the quality of the work done as well as the amount. NO STUDENTS RECOMMENDED FOR SENATE PROBATION No students were recommended for Senate probation according to the sta- tistics of the Cut Committee for the first semester, but fourteen have been warned and placed on Student Proba. tion, which allows them only four un- excused cuts for the second semester. The cutting this year has been some- what—lighter_than_during—the—second semester last year.

HOOVER INDORSES $2,000,000 DRIVE; PAYS TRIBUTE TO BRYN MAWR Herbert Hoover, writing to Acting- President Taft, declares that the average salary paid to the professors and teachers at Bryn Mawr is even below the stand- ard of other institutions. “The fine service of Bryn Mawr Col- lege over all these years, the fine charac- ter of the woman that has come from it, only emphasizes the duty the community owes,” says Mr. Hoover. “I know of nothing that our people should so gen- erally resent as the fact that our sons and daughters are to receive the basic formation of their characters and intelli- gence at so great a sacrifice as is now being imposed on those upon whom we must depend to create our whole nation- al character.” MAY DAY OFFICE IN CARTREF Mrs. Skinner, director, and Mrs. Rhys Carpenter (E. Hill, '16), secretary and treasurer of May Day, will be in their office on the third floor of Cartref, from 9-5 daily. Mrs. Carpenter is compiling a card catalogue of the parts taken by each student in May Day. English Club tea on last Thee. a ternoon in Denbigh sitting-room. “No ulterior motives may be admitted in writing nonsense verse,” said Dr. Savage. “Pure nonsense is written for nonsense’ sake alone. “Surely only ‘toves’ can ‘gyre’” declar- ed Dr. Savage, quoting from ‘Jabber- wocky’ to prove -that all manufactured nonsense words should sound plausible — and should convey an idea. ‘Uffia,’ from the Nonsense Anthology was read to illustrate the point: “When sporgles spanned the floreate mead And cogwogs gleet upon the lea Uftia gropped to meet her love Who smeeged upon the equat sea.” MARCH 15 LAST DAY TO APPLY FOR UNDERGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS. Applications for undergraduate schol- arships should be handed in to the secre- tary and registrar before March 15, on two forms obtained from the secretary and registrar’s office. The awards will be announced the first of May. Two Sophomore scholarships, four Junior, three Senior, one Junior or Sen- ior and four special scholarships are of- fered this year. The Undergraduates Scholarships Committee also tries to secure special scholarships in the case of students needing financial aid. Last May one special Senior, and seven spec- ial Junior scholarships were awarded. Descriptions of the scholarships and the conditions for holding them may be found in the calendar, pages 207 to 211.

RADNOR LEADS CAMPUS IN PROMPT: NESS ON PAYDAY With only one pay-day bill over-due this year Radnor holds the record among the halls for prompt payment. “The same people are always fined for over-due bills,” declared one pay-day col- lector to a News reporter. In Rockefeller and Pembroke West as many as four fines a month have been collected, vary- ing in amount from three cents to forty cents. PUBLICITY COMMITTEE MAKES PLANS FOR SEMESTER With a new personnel, the Publicity Committee plans to feature each C. A. committee in turn by means of posters.

Morrison, 21, who have resigned. P. Smith, ’22, has been appointed chairman. VASSAR STUDENTS SNOW-BOUND Heavy snow-ifalls recently made it im- possible for Vassar students to leave their halls, and for one entire day no classes could be held. Dr. Gilkey, who led Bryn Mawr’s week end conference, had expected to lead the evening service for the college, but spoke to the isolated students of the hall in which he is staying, since it was found impossible to assemble a congregation.

A rally for the Presidential candidates — will be held by the Suffrage Club in April, in conjunction with the History Club at which members of the faculty and undergraduates are ‘to speak. A stiaw vote will be taken to determine the attitude of the college towards the coming election. Newspaper clippings about the candidates are being posted on the bulletin board in Taylor. By a change in the charter, the club voted to become a branch of the Penn- sylvania Women Citizen League instead of the Suffrage Club. The club felt that since the cause of Suffrage was practic- ally won it could do better work if it. were affiliated with larger organizations. ELEVEN B. M.

In commemoration of the centennial anniversary of Susan B, Anthony and - the seventy-third birthday of Anan How- ard) Shaw, both celebrated February 14th, the News prints the following ap- preciation by President Thomas. The article was written at the request of the committee in charge of the memorial service held by the National Women Suffrage Association at St. Louis that Saturday. “In view of the memorial | chair, the students and alumnae are en- dowing in memory of Anna Howard Shaw,” writes President Thomas, “I thought that the readers of the news might be interested in this brief charac- terization of Miss Shaw.” * The two great women whose birthdays are commemorated today were alike in their trenchant leadership, their splen- did intellectual equipment, and their ut- ter devotion to our cause, Susan B, Anthony seemed to me dis- tinguished from all the other men. and women I have known by the quality of sheer, unadulterated greatness which made of her a heaven sent leader to be followed even to death itself. Anna Howard Shaw had all the qual- ities that go to make up what we call genius—brilliant wit, humour of a pe- culiarly high order; imagination; sym- pathy; unerring logic which sped like an arrow to its goal; withering scorn of subterfuge; flaming indignation against oppression and wrong; burning love of justice and right; a prophet’s vision; im- passioned patriotism, spiritual fervour of consuming power. Her splendid elo- quence inspired her audiences with something of her own passion as she went up and down through the land. She was the greatest orator of our genera- tion. She never fell below the high level she had set herself. Often as I heard her speak, I never once heard her speak unworthily. She never said what her audiences might like to hear. She told them the exact truth. She was an ab- solutely and as gloriously sincere on the platform as in quiet discussion around the study fire. She combined in wonder- ful fashion the genius of a great orator APPARATUS MEETS CONTAIN REQUIRED AND ORIGINAL STUNTS The apparatus meets will begin on Wednesday, March 10, and last through Friday, March 19, each team having two meets. A certain number of required ‘and optional exercises for group and individual work on the horse and paral- ‘with the wisdom of a great statesman, for she and Miss Anthony were states- lel bars, will be offered by each team. Individual exercises only will be required | on the ropes. Each class is allowed four entries in | the individual events, the points of which | count toward both the total class score | and the score of the individual. An in-| dividual’s work in a group exercise will not be counted toward her own score, but the exercise will be judged as a whole. Five teams from each class will com- pete and count points towards the All- | Round Athletic Championship. The size of the teams is flexible, the only limitation being that if any person is in) an event on one team, she cannot sub- stitute down to a lower. Start Fiction Library for Maids “A circulating fiction library for the maids has been started in the basement of Merion Hall,” said H. Hill, ’21, chair- man of the Library Committee, report- ing in the C. A. Cabinet meeting last Thursday night. About seventy-five books, bearing on all subjects, have been collected from the old Fiction Library and from the students. The committee hopes to receive contributions sufficient to buy the works of colored authors and thus put the maids in touch with the current thought and progress of their own people. men in the truest sense of the word. I never ceased to marvel at her power to think out difficult subjects to their in- evitable end. Her conclusions seemed to me unerringly right. Her patriotism rang true at every point. The world war was the supreme test. She led us as we should go. We followed her rejoicing that our great suffragist was also a great patriot. | The last time I heard her was after our May Pole dances at Bryn Mawr Col- lege in a crowded chapel. She spoke with the tongue of an angel and we saw her transfigured before our eyes. It crossed my mind then with vague fore- boding that after a speech like that, which could never be surpassed and per- haps never again equalled, even an ora- tor such as she might be content to die. Within two months she was dead. Act- ing on the suggestion of one of the col- lege professors who had heard her speak in chapel, a few weeks after her death our professors, students and alumnae began to raise $100,000 in order to endow in perpetuity the Anna Howard Shaw Memorial chair of Politics in Bryn Mawr College. I can think of no great- er memorial, nor of one that would have pleased her more, than an endowment such as this to teach women how to use the vote she gave her life to win. Ex-President Taft told me on his re- turn from the speaking trip on behalf of the League of Nations which cost her life, that her presence as a speaker on their platform in every city visited brought to their audiences vast numbers of women whom for the first time through her they had been able to reach. He said that he had been amazed to see how women followed her and loved her. We who know what she did for women could never be amazed by any tribute, however great. She was dearly loved by us all in every State of the United States—our golden orator, our gallant defender, our intrepid advocate, our guide, our leader, our friend, who spent her life in our service. She never knew how much we loved her. SENJ .UNK TO. R. GI.ENFILL Reorganized Committee to Collect, Every Two Weeks A special collection of clothes, books and odds and ends was made last week by the Junk Committee, to send to Dr. Grenfell’s Labrador mission. On ac count of the severe weather in Labra- dor, the committee hopes to send a larg- er contribution than in previous years. In accordance with a request from Mrs. Skinner, the committee is also col- lecting from alumnae and members of the college, materials for May Day cos- tumes; the prices, according to Mrs. Skinner,. have increased greatly since the last May Day. The Junk Committee, reorganized this semester under M. Kennard, ’22, chair- man, will make collections every fort- night, Hall collectors are: Radnor: J. Conklin, ’20; E. Gabell, '22; S.

Prior to this, she had been through parts of the Great Desert, with the same guide that Robert Hichens had, going to many of the places mentioned in the “Garden of Allah” and in his other books, voneaaian PEOPLE MAKE _ SWIMMING CLASSES The swimming report made by K. Woodward, ’21, swimming manager, at a meeting of the Athletic Association, showed that 217 people had tried out during the first semester. Of these, 49 made classes—8 Seniors, 16 Juniors, 12 Sophomores and 13 Freshmen. E. H. Mills, ’21, and E. Anderson, ’22, are first class swimmers. E. Cecil made second class, eight made third, twenty- seven, fourth, and eleven fifth. Swimming records at Bryn Mawr have been steadily improving during the last twenty years. In 1898 when the first swimming meet was held, the double length front was swum in 45 sec. and the back in 60 sec., as against 31 2-5 sec: and 37 sec. today. In 1906 Carola Woerishoffer, who was considered an unusual swimmer, made the single length back swim ir 25 sec. Today the record established by K, Woodward, '21, is 16 1-5 sec. The plunge and the have improved also. relay The relay in 1912 was made in- 79 2-5 sec., and today it is done in 62 1-5 sec. In 1909, the longest plunge was 47 feet, while now fourth place is 47 feet 10 inches. In a recent swimming at Barnard, the first place in the plunge was 34.5 feet, and third place was 28.5 feet, as compar- ed with 57 feet 1 inch and 50 feet, which were plunged in the Bryn Mawr meet. Mahr, of Columbia, recently plunged 69 feet, and Driscoll, of Princeton, 62 | feet.

R. MALLINSON & CO., Inc. **The New Silts First’’ Madison Avenue—3lst Streee, al NEW YORK The reeent canvas of the college for ‘community center workers has raised _ the number of helpers to twice what it has ever been before. a At present eighty, including twenty- nine new ones, are working regularly at the center. Nine more are needed for play hour and four more for gymnasium work. Under the plan, of work adopted this semester, there are two people for every “one-man-job” and three people for every “two-man-job.” “At least one of the ex- perienced students will always be avail- able, and so this plan will do away with the necessity of pushing new helpers into familiar work,” said H. Kingsbury, 20, chairman of the social service com- mittee. “Some very commendable work was done at the center last semester,” she continued, “The little girls’ dramatics club gave a fairy play, The North Wind, on Saturday, February 21. .They have been working on the play under the di- rection of K. Goldsmith, ’22, whose originality and care account for much of ‘its success. The attendents at the story hour directed by M. Wiesman, ’21, has grown from six to twelve, U. Batch- elder, G. Melten, and B. Williams, from '22, have the distinction of being the only people successful at Garrett Hill, where they teach dancing, supplying their own music on alternate Fridays.” One big achievement of the canvas was a list of definite substitutes. MERIT INSURANCE COMPANY PAYS 63 CENTS PER EXAMINATION Losing 53 examinations out of the 202 it insured, the Campus Merit Insurance Comparfy wound up its business last pay- day. Each person failing to get merit in an insured subject received 63 cents. L.. Sloan, President, said that this was the worst year in the history of the com- pany. In 1918 with a proportionate sub- scription list of $1.08 was paid per ex- amination, nearly double the amount paid this year. “SCRAPS AND SCRIBBLES” TITLE OF MODEL SCHOOL PAPER “Scraps and Scribbles” has _ been chosen for the name of the paper issued by the students of the Model School, ac- cording to the second number, issued February 16. Among the longer articles are “Ex- tracts From the Diary of An_ Earth- worm” and “A Model Dog.” Good ath- letic spirit is shown in a “letter to the editor” on the prospects of a gymna- sium meet, and there is also a clever parody on “Old Father William,” the first verse of which is: “You are old, 1920,” Miss Applebee said, “And it really is silly to think, That you like to make baskets and stand on your heads Till your faces are purple and pink.” SPORTING NOTES The swimming pool opened last Mon- «tay and water polo practices began Water polo match games start March ai. Two periods of swimming a week will bé required for all unauthorized swim- mers this semester. The pool is reserved for them from 5.00—5.30 om Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, and from 3.15— 4.15 on Wednesday. Miss Goldstein is the graduate swim- ming manager. H. Rice has been elected temporary water polo captain for 1923. Coasting cannot be counted as exer- cise any longer. The graduates have developed a strong basketball team captained by M. Early. They are also planning a water polo team with special practice on Wednes- day nights _Dr. Rufus Jo Reconstruction College, told of the work of his unit last Sunday night in Chapel. _ rae “Over 600 workers, 60 of whom are women, and 8 of them Bryn Mawr grad- uates, among them E. Dulles, ’17, L. Cadbury, ’14, M.: Scattergood, '17, and 'Dr. Marianna Taylor, ’03, are at work in France.” said Dr. Jones. Mr. Herbert Hoover put the Friend’s Unit in charge of feeding malnourished German children. “The Friend’s were the first to arrive in Vienna after the armis- tice and found the town without coal or industry,” Dr, Jones continued. Work- ers from the unit are in Poland, Serbia, and Lithuania. Night School for Maids Starts Classes in English, arithmetic, reading, writing, and psychology will be held for the Maids every Monday and Thursday evenings. D. Smith, ‘20, chairman of the Maid’s Committee asks that every- one who would care to. teach one of these subjects or either typewriting or bookkeeping will give her name to a member of the committee. Model School to Have Meet A gymnasium contest for the Model School will be held soon with Gladys Leuba and Beth Tuttle as captains of the opposing sides. There will be exercises on the parallel bars and horse, rope climbing, a wand drill and a surprise drill.

LIDDELL, '22, AS PRESIDENT Membership Open To All With the purpose of arousing interest in contemporary art, a Bryn Mawr Art Club was organized last Tuesday eve- ning, under V. Liddell, ’22, as president and M. Morrison, ’21, as secretary. Its members will endeavor to appreciate Philadelphia as an art-center, and will follow up and discuss current exhibi- tions. Membership is open to all, and the meetings will be every other Tuesday evening at 9:15. All members are asked to see the Annual Exhibition in Philadel- phia before the meeting next Tuesday, where the pictures will be discussed. The question of a name and of dues will also be decided on at that meeting. ’ BATES COMMITTEE DRIVE FOR MONTHLY WORKERS A drive for monthly workers at Bates House next summer has begun. The committee wants students to volunteer for a month or more, rather than the usual two weeks, in order to have expe- rienced workers on hand, between the shifts of shorter-time workers. l Major Bles Dastroys Myth of Garmanté Re Superiority (Continued from page 1) Exhibits Medals After dining with the History Club, Major Bles exhibited his German med- als and trophies, including a six-inch sword. “I had the officer’s swords cut off when I was administrator of Col- ogne,” he explained, “because I knew nothing would humiliate them more.” Talking of Lord Dunsany, Major Bles said, “He is quite mad. His name ought to be Lord Insany, or Lord Dunce, with- out the -any.” 3|tact with V. Miller, ’23, between Feb- the Board of Directors of Bryn Mawr. ]19, and those who have been in contact All students who have been in con- ruary 5-9 are asked to report daily at the Infirmary for throat and tempera- ture examination beginning February with A. Fontain, ’22, between February 11-15, should report daily beginning Fehruary 25. Name-Plates Revived Name plates are to be placed by the Trophy Club in the windows of rooms occupied by 1919, bearing the name and date of last year’s occupant. This cus- tom has been neglected for several years and the Club decided to revive it. At the same meeting they voted to clean out and rearrange the trophy cases in Pembroke East. DES MOINES SPEAKER WILL HOLD CHAPEL SERVICE “One of the most universally admired addresses at the Des Moines Confer- ence” is the report that Bryn Mawr dele- gates give of Dr. Brown’s talk on “Chris- tianizing National and International Life”. Dr. Brown, who is Dean of the Yale School of Divinity, will deliver this address next Sunday evening in Chapel. For the last four years, Dean Brown, who is the author of “The Modern Man’s Religion,” “The Quest of Life,” and “The Strange Ways of God,” has been a regu- lar speaker at the Sunday evening serv- ices, SUPERWOMEN A FACT Freshmen Graded by Tests Similar to Army Intelligence Examinations Five per cent of the enlisted men grad- ed at Camp Upton during the war were of “superior mental ability”—according to statistics obtained from Major Adams, of Camp Upton, who visited Bryn Mawr two weeks ago. Over fifty per cent of the Freshman class are of the same men- tal calibre—to judge from the results of the intelligence tests given them by the department of education last semester. The tests applied to the Freshmen were on the order of the intelligence ex- aminations used in the army, and were graded by the same standards. Twenty- one per cent, of the class received A for “very superior ability;” 25 per cent A for “superior ability.” The three low- er marks classified them according to B, “average to superior ability;” C, “ave- rage to fair ability;” and D, “fair to in- ferior ability.” The individual marks will not be made known, but can be used in the Dean’s office in judging whether or not a stu- dent will have difficulty in keeping her work up to the college requirements. Philadelphia Men’s Committee to Work for Endowment Election of a men’s committee to work for the Bryn Mawr Endowment in Phila- delphia was held on February 13 at the Philadelphia College Club, with the fol- lowing results: William F. Ellis, chairman; Robert E. Strawbridge, Charlton Yarnall, Horatio G. Lloyd, W. Hinkle Smith, Robert L. Montgomery, W. Plunkett Stewart and Charles J. Rhoads. C. A. CABINET INVITED TO MEET DR. G. IDDINGS BELL Miss Henrietta B. Ely, of Bryn Mawr, has extended invitations to the C. A. Cabinet to meet Dr. G. Iddings Bell, who is president of St. Stephen's Col- lege, Avondale-on-the-Hudson. The Atlantic Monthly last year pub- lished two of Dr. Bell's articles on his work in France as a Chaplain with the American Expeditionary Force. Dr. Bell will speak in Chapel next Tuesday morning. He will also conduct the noon-day services at the Garrick Theatre, in Philadelphia, for the week of March 1-6. Service was the definition of a success-— ful life reached by the class discussion groups, which met last. Sunday in the - Hall sitting rooms to take the place of the usual Vespers service. _ ae Dean Smith, leader of the Senior-Ju- nior group, considered a successful life under two heads, physical and mental. A life not. well rounded in both respects cannot be “socially adequate,” was the general opinion of the group. Next Sun- day Dean Smith will consider the spir- itual motive necessary to live a success- ful life of service. If one “loved the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy mind, and with all thy strength,” one would lead a life successful from the Christian point of view, Miss Barrett, head of the Community Centre, pointed out to the Sophomores. In the next meeting, the group will consider “and love thy neighbor as thyself.” Success to the Freshmen, led by E. Biddle, '19, meant “being sure of God and able to help others.” SCHOOLS THE WHITE GATE STUDIOS Radnor Road, Bryn Mawr, Penna.

Dulles, '17, who seconded R. Wood- ruff's motion that graduate students be exempt from all chaperone rules, pointed out that only fourteen graduates are under chaperone rules and that these fourteen are often given permission to go unchaperoned. “Moreover,” she con- tinued, “graduates have finished their pre- liminary work and are considered eligible for responsible positions. We must as- sume for them a certain degree of ma- turity.” Opposed to the motion, M. Buchanan, President of the Graduate Club, said that in her opinion it was better not to remove restrictions, but bringing the pre- sent rules up to date, to keep them so that they would serve as protection to students coming from colleges in small towns. She would collect and amend existing regulations so that graduates would be exempt in the following cases: those over twenty five, those who have had one year of teaching or of graduate work, any who were detailed by pro- fessors, groups of two or three when one was exempt, and those to whom special permission was given by the Executive Board.

Sermon by Dr. Johnston Ross, of the Union Theological Seminary, New York. New requirements for the degree of Master of Arts were approved by the Academic Council on February 10. “This degree is open to college gradu- ates who shall have satisfied the Gradu- ate Committee that their course of study has been equivalent to that for which the degree of Bachelor of Arts is given at Bryn Mawr College, or that it has been adequately supplemented by subse- quent study. The candidate must attend at Mawr College three seminaries, or their equivalent, in graduate courses, unless by permission of the Graduate Committee she is allowed to substitute post-major (third fourth year undergraduate) courses for one of the seminaries. Pre- liminary training equivalent to the Bryn Mawr College undergraduate major courses in the subject of the seminary, or in related subjects of equal value in preparation, is required for admission to a seminary. Each seminary requires one-third of the student's time for one year. The minimum time in which the work can be completed is therefore one year, but the work cannot be done in one year unless the candidate is thoroughly prepared in all the subjects she offers, and gives her entire time to graduate study. The candidate is required to pass with a creditable grade written examinations on the seminaries or courses offered, such examinations to be held in the first week of the May examination period. The examination books, together with the examiner's estimate, shall be sent to the Graduate Committee, which shall report to the Academic Council. The degree shall not be given to any- one who cannot read French and German or who is unacquainted with Latin. The Graduate Committee will provide writ- ten examinations in French and German twice each year, namely, once during the week before Thanksgiving and once during the week before spring vacation. Students who have already passed the Bryn or general language examinations of the College in these languages may be ex- cused from this requirement. The prospective candidate must reg- ister with the Graduate Committee dur- ing October of the academic year in which she intends to take her degree, and her statement shall contain the ap- proval of her courses by her instruc- tors.” Artists from all ent te 6 country have ts All}. at Pers and Plats Fresh Dal — Corsage and Floral — Chi Kid stants Soesahy a ner rorenen raion en oP see FRANCIS B.
