Freedom of Speech The letter-column of the News was created to promote free expression of opinion on matters of collegiate and non- collegiate importance. We are glad to print letter on subjects of general inter- est, and letters which take into account the number of people reading our paper. Fewer letters have been submitted to the News for publication this year than in previous years. We believe that this ‘is not a normal state for a wide-awake community, in whose midst a certain amount of healthy criticism and com- ment must perforce be going on. We urge that this rumbling be not solely subterranean, and that our letter column be the clearing-house for points of view that need to be voiced. There are many reasons against the complete abolishing of the rule barring outsiders from sleeping in the halls. The picture of the halls of residence invaded at week-ends and show-times by a horde of guests who settle, locust- like upon the community, is not a pleas- ant one. But surely the present rigid regulation might be modified without incurring the abuses which it is intend- ed to prevent. Students at Vassar and Wellesley are allowed to have a cer- tain number of guests a semester in the hall over night. Cannot some such modification of the present rule be adop- ted here? ERRATUM The News wishes to correct a mis- statement made in last week’s issue. On column three of page one, it was stated that “With the exception of Ambassador Jusserand, Abbe Dimnet is the only Frenchman who has attained literary dis- tinction by his English writing, accord- ing to Dean Maddison.” This statement was not authorized by Dean Maddison, and was attributed to her by an over- sight of the editor. European Fellow to be Announced Friday (Continued from Page 1) founded in 1896 by Miss Garrett, of Baltimore, and the Mary E. Garrett Eu- ropean Fellowship for graduate students who have completed two years of grad- uate work at Bryn Mawr, founded in 1894 by Miss Garrett. The first of these was held last year by Mary Drusilla Flather, fellow in Bi- ology, Ph. B. Brown University 1917; the second by Margaret Buchanan, fellow in Mathematics, A. B. University of West | women whom we have had on our lists Jin September of last year. Contrary to our expectations the demand for train- ed and experienced workers is much gre than before the war, and we have a large number of interesting positions to fill and not enough properly qualified candidates to fill them. On account of the break in our placement work we have not available the names of the many in the past. We are anxious to get in touch with all the college women who would be interested in the positions we are asked to fill. We have in the past placed a number of Bryn Mawr women, and we feel that there must be many who would now be interested in the opportunities offered through the Bu- reau. May we ask you to print this let- ter in your paper? We need at present trained and ex- perienced women for the following posi- tions: secretaries, with a knowledge of stenography, for specialized lines of work, social service workers of all kinds, experienced case workers, _ scientific translators, research workers and train- ed investigators, dietitians, public health nurses, arts and crafts instructors, in- stitutional managers, and experienced purchasing agents. The war has developed a number of new types of positions, as yet unstand- ardized, requiring very diverse prepa- ration and experience. We need candi- dates with a greater variety of special preparation than ever before. We shall be very grateful if through your paper we may give this information to a large number. of Bryn Mawr women. The Bureau makes no charge for information or registration, but charges a fee for placement. Very sincerely sours, MARION C. REILLY, ’01. Acting Chairman of the Board of Directors.

The change will take effect in 1921-’22.
