No. 17 How to make writing commercially useful will be explained by Mr. Robert MacAlarney, former editor of the New York Tribune and Associate Professor of Journalism at Columbia University, Friday evening in Taylor Hall, Mr. Mac- Alarney’s talk is entitled “The Adven- ture of Journalism,” and is under the auspices of the College News. There will be no charge for admission. Mr. Roswell Dague, a fermer assist- ant of Mr. MacAlarney’s on the New York Tribune, will accompany him to Bryn Mawr. Mr. MacAlarney and Mr. Dague will have dinner with the News board in Pembroke before the lecture. Wants College Students to Succeed “Please do not let the College News Board think that I am coming down as a lecturer,” wrote Mr. MacAlarney to the editor of the News, “I am coming in the guise of a man who is working in writ- ten things, and who has seen a great many young men and women either suc- ceed or fail in this line of occupation. As a result, my entire interest in help- ing train college students in journalism lies in making this training commercially usefuly—in other words, assisting col- lege students when young alumni in making livings.” Edits Scenarios of “Famous Players” Mr. MacAlarney’s own career is an illus- tration of how to rise from a cub repor- tership to the head of a big city daily. After leaving college, he turned to jour- nalism as a reporter on the Harrisburg Daily Telegraph and the Newark Daily Advertiser. From the position of staff correspondent and political reporter on the New York Evening Journal, he rose to be City Editor in 1906, and was sub- sequently City Editor of the New York Evening Post, Mail, and Tribune. From 1914 to 1916 he was President of the New York City News Association. Since 1916, Mr. MacAlarney has been scenario editor of the Famous Players- Lasky Corporation. At the present time he is lecturing three hours a week at the Columbia School of Journalism, and has been a member of the faculty of the School of Journalism on Morningside since its inception. Plans for Point System Completed } To Be Presented to Undergraduates in Near Future Modeled on a plan that has proved successful at Mt. Holyoke, the tentative point system drawn up by the Under- graduate Association Board is based on a scale of forty. Should the system be adopted, no student would be allowed to hold offices totaling more than forty points, Thirty is the highest number of points given for any one office. Nine positions —the presidencies of the associations and classes and the managing editorship of the News—come under this classification. Under the present plan the system would be enforced by the students and run by a committee with a representative from each class to keep a card catalogue of the number of points held by every undergraduate. It would go into effect with the spring elections. K | Publicity Campaign to Be Discussed at Usderpianeane Mouth Point System Up for Consideration _ The publicity campaign will be one of the matters discussed at a meeting of the Undergraduate Association next week. The student Endowment Com- mittee have asked Mrs, Edwin S. Jar- rett, national publicity chairman, to speak to the undergraduates Tuesday or at an early meeting. A vote will be taken on the advisabil- ity of a point system, and the system drawn up by the Undergraduate Board will be presented to the Association. A sense of the meeting will be taken as to the number of students who advocate a chair of poetry at Bryn Mawr. At the request of members of the Association, the question will be discuss- ed of taking straw votes in every class for association heads. SPIRIT OF DES MOINES IN HUNTINGDON CONFERENCE Bryn Mawr Sends Largest Pr or- tionate Delegation Seventeen delegates from Bryn Mawr, led by C. Bickley, ’21, attended the 15th Annual Sectional Conference of the Stu- dent Volunteer Movement, held last week-end at Juniata College, Hunting- don, Pa. Intended to carry the influence of Des Moines into a wider field, sectional con- ventions have been planned by the Ex- ecutives of the Student Volunteer Move- ment. Five hundred delegates from col- leges in Eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey were present. The Bryn Mawr delegates were: C. Bickley, ’21 (leader): M. Scott, ’19. 1021: S,. Marbury, .E. . Newell, . H: Hill, P, Ostroff, -K. Johnston. 1922: O. Howard, E. Healea, Suzanne Aldrich, V. Liddell, C. Cameron. 1923: E. Vin- cent, F. Harrison, E. Rhoads, M. Dunn, D.

A. secretary in India, and at present in charge of the Personnel Di- vision of the Foreign Department of the International Committee of the Y. M. C. A., pointed out that the Indian Bill giving greater self-government to natives, passed the English Parliament six weeks ago. “With ninety-five per cent of the men illiterate and under one per cent of the women able to read and write, how can the country fail to fall prey to the radical political element, which really means rule of the reactionaries?” he asked. Medical missions, according to Dr. Cyril Haas, physician-in-chief of the American Hospital, Adana, Celicia, Asia Minor, showed that a surgeon’s skill opened opportunities for service far above any offered by missionaries evan- gelizing solely with a Bible Students Give Reports O. Howard, '22, two delegates from Princeton and one from Muhlenberg Col- lege, summarized their impressions at the final session, led by Dr. Robert E. Speer, secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church. S. Marbury, '21, was one of five mem- bers on the Intercollegiate Committee on Findings, to make a summary of this convention. “The prevalent idea of the African mis- sionary as a fanatical person, standing under an emaciated palm tree with an open Bible and perhaps a sunshade, and (Continued on page 2) Village Green New Part of May D M. Carey, '20, Heads Green Committee A village green in the time of Queen Elizabeth will be reproduced on the cam- pus in front of Merion on May Day, ac- cording to plans on which the “green committee,” a new May Day institution, are at work. M. Carey, ’20, has been ap- pointed mistress of the green, and the committee working with her are M. Mall, 20; D. Wyckoff, '21: M. Tyler, 22, and I.. Jacobi, ’23. The opening pageant, after circling the campus, will end on the green, where the May Pole will be set up and the May Queen crowned. Departing from the custom of former May Days, Morris and country dancing, and old English games and sideshows will go on there all after- noon, while the plays are being given on other parts of the campus. The grad- uate play will probably be given on the green before an audience of “gaffers and gammers” in old English costume. LISTENING POST EXPERIENCES DESCRIBED BY M. CONS, “> }i Tells Stories of French Soldier [f Illustrating his lecture with anecdotes of the French soldier, M. Louis Cons, of Princeton University, formerly of Bryn Mawr, spoke in French Saturday eve- ning, under auspices of the French Club, on “Souvenirs d’un Ecouteur.” Profes- sor Cons received the Croix de Guerre in 1915 for his services as “ecouteur in- terprete.” For ten months M. Cons was stationed at a “listening post” in the front line trenches.- “We were allowed to stay so long,” he explained, “only because we were not considered men, but trench ma- terial, like so many periscopes. We were the ears of the army.” The telephone used by the “ecouteurs” was invented in 1915 by a French officer who accidentally heard a distant Ger- man conversation. The apparatus, ac- cording to M. Cons’ description, consists of a metal point, like the tip of a bayonet, thrust in the ground as near as possible to the German trenches. To this is at- tached a telephone wire stretched along the ground to the French trenches, join- | ed to a double wire which runs to the dug-out and telephone booth. Overhears Death Sentence One of the German messages over- heard by M. Cons consisted of orders to their artillery to bombard the dug- out where M. Cons was stationed. “A little more to the left—now to the right,” he could hear. Again the “ecouteurs,” by overhearing plans to blow up the French front-line trenches, were able to save thousands of lives. i M. Cons vividly characterized as typi-| cal of the French soldier one Bayard, “le chevalier sans peur et sans reproche.” “The French soldier, straightforward and frank,” he said, “ is almost ashamed of his sentiments. Instead of talking about ‘des bon hommes’ (good men), he will speak of ‘des bonhommes’ (good fellows).” When the Germans suspected the use of the telephone, M. Cons said, at the reception given him by the French Club after the lecture, they used codes. The “ecouteurs” were able to decipher one difficult code by hearing a German offi- cer interpreting part of an order given in it, to a stupid soldier. FOUR HORSEWOMEN WELCOME IBANEZ TO BRYN MAWR of Meeea ic ile . Escorted by the “Four Horsewomen of Bryn Mawr,” and surrounded by a swarm of reporters and photographers, Vincente Blasco Ibanez arrived at Bryn Mawr Fri- day afternoon and made a tour of the campus. Under the guidance of Seno- rita Dorado and several members of the Spanish Club, he inspected some of the halls and the library, had tea with the major Spanish class in Radnor. On Saturday morning he went through the gymnasium and watched some appara- tus practice for the meet. In speaking of the students, he said: “How elegant, how pretty they are,” and was greatly impressed to find them well posted on any subject. Bryn Mawr .| Was the first college he had visited where he could speak informally with the stu- dents in Spanish. Elsewhere he had al- ways needed an interpreter, The four horsewomen pleased him immensely. “Mine are homely and bad omens,” he said, “but Bryn Mawr has completely transformed them. Hereafter, I will al- ways think of the Four Horsewomen who rode so gracefully and dared the cold weather as if it were a Spring day.” Typifies America as Quixotic The America We Know Today was the subject he chose for his lecture Satur- day night, in place of The Spirit ef the Four Horsemen, which he considered too dry for his audience. He typified Amer- ica as a country erroneously caricatured as the “Home of the Almighty Dollar,” and showed that in reality the United States was as quixotic as the Spanish na- tional hero. He gave, as an example, America’s “crusade of liberty” when, with purely unselfish motives, she shared the burdens of the war. Ibanez was in- troduced by Romera Navarro, professor of Spanish at the University of Pennsyl- vania, and his speech was translated into English by Dr, J. P. Wickersham Craw- ford, also from the University. Formally Open Endowment Drive at New York Dinner New York Quota is $1,000,000 To celebrate the formal opening of the Endowment Drive on March first, a din- ner for 160 Alumnae and members of the National Committee was held in New York last Saturday. Acting-President Taft spoke on the special needs of Bryn Mawr, and Dr. Simon Flexner and Dean Keppel, of Columbia, emphasized the need for trained men and women in science. The chairman of the New York divi- sion announced at the dinner that $111,- 000 have already been pledged toward the quota for the New York district which is $1,000,000, MR. HENRY RAYMOND MUSSEY TO ADDRESS DISCUSSION CLUB Mr. Henry Raymond Mussey, manag- ing-editor of the Nation, will lecture to the Discussion Club next Monday. Mr. Mussey was associate professor of econ- omics and politics at Bryn Mawr, 1905- 1907, and went from Bryn Mawr to Columbia as professor of economics. During that time he wrote frequent ar- ticles on economic and political ques- tions for current magazines. The ultra- progressive tone of the Nation during the last few years is generally attributed to him. Catherine Dimeling was assistant man- aging editor for this issue. A Gap in the Curriculum One of the questionable blessings of an undergraduate’s academic life is the lecture system, which has stuffed her with information, but has failed to pro- vide her with tools for using this infor- mation. The average Bryn Mawr Senior is afraid to lift her voice in a college meeting, and if by accident she takes a course which requires class discussion, she is tongue-tied and mute after four years of suppression under that “maxim silencer,” the lecture system. If the effectiveness of the lecture-sys- tem is proved by its use in many col- leges, its bad results are counteracted by public-speaking courses and debating clubs. Public speaking is required in nearly all of the colleges of the country, and if the women’s colleges, Wellesley, Vassar, Smith, Mt. Holyoke and Rad- cliffe have formal debating teams whick meet in an annual intercollegiate debate. The wisdom of Bryn Mawr's sharing in intetcollegiate debating is an open ques- tion. But none can say that it will hurt Bryn Mawr distinction to be able to send forth graduates prepared to command and be at ease in any public gathering. A Bryn Mawr education includes train- ing in English diction Why should it not also cover preparation for public- speaking? To Hear or Not to Hear Spoons “click,” dishes “clack, the student bends her head to the ab- sorbing task of not falling below the record of finishing lunch in ten min- utes. With a determined effort she ban- ishes the dim sound of an announce- ment from the edge of her conscious- ness. The student making the announce- ment, too shy to ask the maid to ring the bell, has waited until she could rush upon the heels of another announcement. Encouraged by the valiant “Sh!” of anx- ious friends, she mumbles through her task. And the experienced, efficient stu- dent knows that what might have been heard above the din would be lost in her neighbor's “What's at three o'clock?” “How many periods?” A few fortunate students have clear voices, and bells are for use. Little Ra- chel would consider it efficient to use the bells and one specialized, clear-voic- ed announcer. Then the inarticulate would not interrupt the race after the ten minnte standard in- vain. and A Dillar—A Dollar “You used to come at ten o'clock, But now.you come at noon.” At fourteen minutes past the hour, the Bryn Mawr undergraduate pants into the class room, gives a furtive glance at the clock, and slides into her seat. Scheduled lectures are delayed ten tO fifteen minutes while students straggle to Taylor, confident that the speaker will wait for them.

Recently, however, notably on the day nd Senor Ibanez’ visit, there was a strong: |convicition that the proceedings for the _|sake of publicity defeated this purpose |by being cheap and undignified to the under} last degree. Certainly the subsequent press notices have abundantly justi- fied the conviction. The allusions to “nymphs in one piece bathing suits,” “maidens in bloomers, serving tea,” fair horsewomen in close-fitting riding hab- its,” and similar remarks, are not likely to invoke respect or sympathy for Bryn Mawr in the minds of those who run a3 they read.

SLOGANS WANTED FOR CAMPAIGN Chance for All to Contribute Jingles and slogans (asked for by the Publicity Bureau of the Endowment Fund campaign) will be read at the Reeling and Writhing Club meeting in ‘Denbigh sitting room, tomorrow evening at 7.30. The meeting is open to all un- dergraduates who bring contributions. A sample of the type of verses wanted by the Publicity Bureau is: Old Father Hubbard “Old Father Hubbard, Went to the cupboard, To get his poor child some bread, But the pay at Bryn Mawr Was too meagre by far, And the poor child went hungry to bed.” SPORTING NOTES Betty Weaver, '20, has been elected varsity water-polo captain for’this year. Water-polo match games begin March 11.. The schedule for practice is: First teams: Tuesday, 9:00 and 9:20. Thursday, 9:05 and 9:25. Second teams: Monday, 9:15 and 9:30. Wednesday, 9:15 and 9:30. Third teams: Tuesday, Thursday, 9:05 and 9:25. ENDOWMENT LUNCHEON AT ART ALLIANCE SATURDAY A luncheon to open the general en- dowment campaign for the Pennsylva- nia and Delaware districts will be held at the Philadelphia Art Alliance next Saturday, at 12:30, Marion Reilly, '01, will preside at the luncheon, Frances Arnold, ex-'97, of New York, will give instructions to canvassers, and committee chairmen will report. ISSUE MAJOR PAMPHLETS The “Major Pamphlets” for the En- dowment Drive will be issued to the stu- dent body at the end of this week. The pamphlets have been compiled by the John Price Jones Publicity Corporation, and set forth the story of the needs of Bryn Mawr, illustrated with photographs of the campus. 8:30 and 8:45.

Industrial poisons was the saded of the lectures to the Social Economy Sem- Jinary Thursday and Friday. Among the most horrible of these diseases is lead ‘poisoning, contracted by painters and by makers of bath-tubs, storage batteries, and enamels. Twenty-two per cent of the laborers in these industries in the United States have lead poisoning, and only one and six-tenths per cent of the same class of workmen in England. Speaking in chapel Friday morning, Dr. Hamilton said, “The women of my generation have begun research in the field of industrial poisons. It is for your generation to insist that certain industries be stopped until they can operate without injury to human lives.” MISS DEEMS AND MISS WIGGAN GUESTS AT BATES HOUSE PARTY Miss Virginia Deems, former head of Bates House, and Miss Anne Wiggan, of Spring Street Settlement, will be guests of the Bates Committee at the Bates House Party on Saturday Evening in the Gymnasium. A _ short skit will be given to show the life at Bates House. There will be dancing and re- freshments. A new era for Bates is being planned by the Bates House Committee, accord- ing to M. Taylor, chairman. “We can- not keep Bates House open unless we can run it better than it has been run in the past,” a committee member told the News reporter. “Bates house is the biggest thing the Christian Association undertakes, and it is run independent of outside help.” PLAN TRIPS TO SOCIAL SERVICE INSTITUTIONS Trips for students to inspect Social Service institutions in the environs of Philadelphia are being planned by the Social Service Committee. The first one will be taken Saturday, March 12th. Such places as the College Settlement, Sleighton Farms Reformatory and Car- son College Orphanage will be visited. A visiting nurse from the Philadelphia General Hospital may conduct one trip, and one may be taken through the hos- pital to see the Social Service side of the work. The trips are taken under the auspices of the Community Service Association of Philadelphia. Swarthmore and Goucher colleges are planning similar expeditions. TEN SUBJECTS IN CURRICULUM OF NEW MAIDS’ NIGHT SCHOOL _ Reading classes led by G. Lubin, and by A. Orbison, '22, proved most pop- ular with 28 enrollments in the new Night School started for the maids. From the 68 maids in the college, 106 registra- tions were recorded for the classes that meet in the basement of Merion Hall on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday eve- nings. QO. Pell, E. Brown, H. Gabel, '22 and A. Newlin, ’18, teach typewriting to the second largest class of 24. Short- hand, taught by E. Page, ‘23; Business English by H. Holmes, '20; writing and spelling by A. Dom, ’22, and A. Weston, 21, and arithmetic by E. Luetkemeyer and D. Jenkins, '20, show about an equal registration. O. Howard, "22, and M, Canby, 2, teach French to a class of five or six.

Dr. Rufus Jones, of Maslak ‘oie led the Chapel service on February 22, met with the Junior group last Sunday for the first time. “Motives are baser instincts transformed in the light of ideals,” he said, “and the highest mo- tive is pushing toward your ideal of life. Ideals are not fixed, but change as do the conditions of life itself.” The Sophomore group, led by Miss Barrett, head of the Community Center, discussed Christ’s ideal of life, “love.” “Democracy, the development of love, must be a consistent attitude, not spas- modic action,” said Miss Barrett. Concrete application of a life of love in college was the subject for the Fresh- man group, led by E. Biddle, ’19. “Pro- crastination, gossip and cowardice — among students’ most frequent sins,” they concluded. GROUPS FORMED TO STUDY SOCIAL CONDITIONS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES Social conditions in India, South America, China and the Near East will be studied in group meetings under the auspices of the World Citizenship Com- mittee. The meetings will be held every Wednesday evening, beginning March 19. Dr. Howard L. Gray, assisted by C. Garrison, ’21, and by A. Orbison, ’22, will lead the first meeting next Wednes- day on India. They will discuss the new nationalism and the condition of Indian women. South American conditions outlined by a student from the University of Penn- sylvania and by S. Marbury, ’21, E. An- derson, ’22, O. Howard, 22, and F. Har- rison, ’23, will be discussed on March 17. Miss Donnelly and Miss Grace Hutch- ins, ’07, will lead the group on China. J. Flexner, 21, Fung Kei Liu, ’22, and E. Vincent, ’23, make up the sub-committee. The author of “A Gentle Cynic,” Dr. Morris Jastrow, of the University of Pennsylvania, and Dr. George Barton will talk on the Near East in the conclud- ing lecture of the course. E. Luetkemey- r, "20, is in charge of this group. NEWS N BRIEF Votes for the Baccalaureate speaker, recast at a meeting of the Senior class last week, put Rabbi Wise in second place instead of fourth place, with Dr. Fitch as third, Dr. Coffin as fourth, and Father Officer as fifth choice. Dr. Fosdick was the first choice. Dr. Chew, because of heavy work, will be unable to give his course for the Christian Association on “The Literary Interpretation of the New Testament” this semester. This course was to have followed his course on the Old Testa- ment, given last year. The faculty committee for the voca- tional conference to be held next April is Dr. Schenck, Dr. Kingsbury, Dr. Cas- tro, and Dr. Brunel. Anna Sanford, ’20, has been elected to the Costumes Committee of May- Day instead of L. Williamson, '20, who has left college. The League of Nations was the sub- ject of the talk given by E. Page, °23, to the Maids’ Current Events class last Wednesday. She concluded the talk tonight. The date for Junior-Senior supper play has been set for April 16. Fung Kei Liu, 22, talked about China at the Maids’ Sunday School on Febrea- ary 22. - At the Vocational Conference, post- -poned until April 9 and 10, alumnae dis-. tinguished in different vocations will lead discussion after the lectures and hold interviews for students. Because of the short duration of the conference, lectures on different subjects will be held at the same hour. The pro- _ gram, as planned, is: Friday, April 9, 2-4 p. m. Business, including finance, insurance and banking, and, in another group, sec- rétarial and clerical work; settlement and community work; art, including architec- ture and interior decorating. 4-6 p. m. Child Welfare and Correction; Scien- tific Research, including biology, phys- ics, chemistry and astronomy. 8.00 p. m. Special Rally for Teaching. Saturday, April 10, 9-11 a. m. Medicine; Literature, including mag- azine work and journalism; publicity and Advertising; Employments and Personnel Management; Home _ Eco- nomics, including dietetics and tea-room management, 2.30 p. m. Law and Politics, including the teach- ing of citizenship. Since psychology is closely connected with all vocations, there will be no sep- arate lecture on the subject. Psycholo- gists may attend the other conferences and present the psychological aspects of the vocation under discussion.

The research facilities of the General Electric Company are an asset of world-wide importance, as recent war work has so clearly demonstrated. Their advantages in pursuits of peace made them of inestimable value in time of war. A most interesting story tells of the devices evolved which sub- stantially aided in solving one of the most pressing problems of the war—the submarine menace. Fanciful, but no less real, were the results attained in radio communication which enabled an aviator to control a fleet of flying battleships, and made possible the sending, without a wire, history-making messages and orders to ships at sea. Scarcely less important was the X-ray tube, specially designed for field hospital use and a notable contribution to the military surgical service. And many other products, for both com - batant and industrial use, did their full share in securing the victory. In the laboratories are employed highly trained physicists, chemists, metallurgists and engineers, some of whom are experts of inter- national reputation. These men are working not only to convert the resources of Nature to be of service to man, but to increase the usefulness of electricity in every line of endeavor. Their achievements benefit everv individual wherever electricity is used. Scientific research works hand in hand with the development of new devices, more efficient apparatus and processes of manufacture. It results in the discovery of better and more useful materials and ulti- mately in making happier and more livable the life of all mankind.

Scandinavian Fellowships Open to Bryn Mawr Bryn Mawr has been asked to send nominees for Scandinavian fellowships before April first to the American-Scan- dinavian Foundation in New York. Twenty fellowships of $1000 each are offered for the year 1920-21, ten for Swe- den, five for Denmark, and five for Nor- way. Students may be recommended in any subject, not only technical ones, as formerly. The Foundation expects to send twen- ty Scandinavians next year to study in the United States. THE COLLEGE NEWS WOULD START IN Literary Clube Want Distingeienes Poet For Bryn Shall Bryn Mawr establish a chair of poetry, was the question discussed at recent meetings of the English and Reel- ing and Writhing Clubs. ‘The clubs vo- ted to donate their funds to this purpose if the college authorities approve. Fhe clubs are unable to endow a chair on account of the expense, but could secure a poet of acknowledged standing for part of the vear, to live at the col- lege, give a series of lectures, and help undergraduates individually in their work. Princeton with Alfred Noyes, Am- herst, with Robert Frost, and the Uni- versity of California with Witter Byn-|_ ner, have already had similar lecture- ships in poetry. A book of verse issued by the undergraduates who worked un- der Witter Bynner, has been highly com- mended by Seigfried Sassoon. At an early meeting of the Under- graduate Association, a sense of the meeting will be taken to see how many students would like such an arrange- ment.

Tid: You are Cordially Invited to inspect the changes in the silhouette, the novel types of trimming, all the new ideas prophetic of the vogue to come so chicly portrayed that you really must make us a visit of inspection at least—and soon. Me : " we READY- By the courtesy and invitation of the resident and visiting staff, Dr. Ferree and ‘Dr. Rand will conduct and supervise re- search studies of diseases and abnormal- ities of the eye at the Orthopedic Hospi- tal, Philadelphia. A room has been placed at their disposal which will be fitted up for a systematic study of test methods and cases. This is a somewhat unusual op- portunity and should add a great deal of interest to the research work and train- ing of the psychological laboratory. There is a growing demand in the med- ical colleges for a better groundwork in applied optics as a basis for the teach- ing and practice of ophthalmology. At the annual meeting of the American Ophthalmological Society at Atlantic City last Jine this demand was embodied in the form of a resolution for the estab- lishment of a government research labo- ratory in applied optics. PATHE WEEKLY TAKES MOVIES OF BRYN MAWR ACTIVITIES Bryn Mawr Diogenes Crawls From Tub Moving pictures and flashlights were taken of various college activities last Saturday under the direction of the Na- tional Publicity Committee of the En- dowment Fund. A. Hay, '’23, was photographed as Dio- genes emerging from his tub in search of an honest subscriber, and sixteen un- dergraduates, dressed in cap and gown and carrying lanterns, circled the trees behind Radnor, peering under the branch- es for the elusive two million dollars. L. . Kellogg, '20, in a cape and tam of French blue, was photographed for the Endowment Fund Posters. A duelling match between four fen- cers was Staged in the snow in the Vaux woods. A “mob” of onlookers added local color by enthusiastic cheer- ing and rooting. Movies of stunts on the parallel bars and horses were taken on the gymnasium roof, and flashlights of the College News supper in Miss Applebee’s office where the paper is “dummied.” Two attempts to get moving pictures of a water polo game were illustrated by a lack of light, but a few flashlights were taken of the Odd-Even game Friday af- ternoon. The Friday drill class was photographed in various exercises and folk dances. CALENDAR Friday, March 5 8.00 p. m.

The All-Philadelphia team has also received a challenge from the All- England Women’s team to play a match in England in the spring, but has not decided whether to accept. The Olympic Games will be held in Antwerp next September for the first time since the war. In 1914 they were held in Stockholm. They were establish- ed for the purpose of affording an oppor- tunity for international competition in sports that are common to all countries, such as hockey, track, tennis, water-polo, swimming and gymnastics. America al- ways enters the swimming and track events, but has never sent over a hockey team. ANNUAL ACADEMY EXHIBITION ON LOWER. LEVEL THAN IN PAST YEARS Dr. Bye Discusses Exhibit in Chapel Telling his audience that the prestige of the Annual Exhibition of the Penn- sylvania Academy of Fine Arts has wan- ed during the past few years, Dr. Arthur Edwin Bye, lecturer in history of art, outlined in chapel last Wednesday morn- ing the chief points of interest in the current exhibition. Dr. Bye advised his audience to select out some one group of paintings for particular study. He described the work of the Newhope School as representative of the Pennsylvania artists included in the exhibition, and marked out Robert Spencer, Daniel Garber, W. L. Lathrop and Edward Redfield for commendation. “The Two Sisters,” a painting by J. Alden Wier, the President of the New York Academy, who died last year, was given the place of honor as a “fine ex- cluded Dr. Bye. CHRISTIANIZING OUR NATIONAL LIFE DEAN BROWN’S SUBJECT ON SUNDAY At the request of the religious meet- ings committee, Dean Brown, of the Yale Divinity School, repeated at the Sun- day Evening Chapel Service the address given by him at the Des Moines Confer- ence on “Christianizing Our National Life.” “There has been a lowering in our national ideals since the close of the war, for which we are responsible,” declared Dean Brown. “We won't be ‘over over there’ until we have followed the con- quest of force with a moral victory.” “The most terrible thing of the war was the realization of the decay of the great national soul of Germany,” con- tinued Dean Brown. “Neitche’s teachings against compassion and_ service had great influence. They cannot be coun- teracted by bitterness and hate, but only by a finer quality of national soul in Germany’s neighbors.” The wealth of a nation, Dean Brown pointed out, lies in the number of clear- eyed, happy men and women it can show. To gain this wealth we must in- sist on a “steadier exaltation of human values. Booker Washington maintained that colleges should train men to become more heavily and capably responsible for the welfare of the race,” said Dean Brown. “We must insist on this obliga- tion of the strong to bear the weak.” M. de Montoliu to Direct Dancing in Masques Dancing for the May Day masques will be under the direction of Monsieur Placido de Montoliu, teacher of Eurhyth- mics at the Model School. M. de Montoliu is a pupil of Jacques Dalcroze. He attended the latter’s school at Hellerau and was one of the first pupils of M. Dalcroze to come to this country. Since he began to teach at the Model School seven years ago, M. de Montoliu has held eurhythmic classes at the college. ‘Cut Flowers and Plants Fresh Daily Corsage’ and Floral Baskets Old Fashioned Bouquets a Specialty Potted Plants—Personal supervision on all orders Pheee, Bryn Mawr S70 FRANCIS B.
