One article will be devoted to each of the) small nations bardering the Mediter- ranean, according to the Quarterly. Miss Thomas will describe particularly their attitude toward the League of Nations. The first article will appear in the Jan- uary number of the Monthly. SOPHOMORE PLAY TO BEONE OF BERNARD SHAW’S COMEDIES Frances Knox and Eleanor Mathews _to Take Principal Parts Hinting that the scene of the play is to be laid in the East and that it is by Bernard Shaw, the Sophomore Play Committee refuses to divulge more. The performance will take place Friday eve- ning, November 19th, at 7.45 o’clock. -The principal parts are taken by F. Knox and E. Mathews, who are sup- ported by a large cast. The play is coached by Dr. Howard Savage, who coached 1917’s Senior Play, 1919’s Sopho- more Play and 1922’s Sophomore Play. E. Vincent is stage manager. Subordinate committees for the play have been chosen, which include— Scenery: D. Meserve, chairman; E. Rhoads, R. McAneny, H. Humphreys. Costumes: F. Childs, chairman; J. Rich- ards, M. Morseman, D. Fitz. Properties: A. Frazer, chairman; H. Wilson, B. Worcester, V. Miller. Lights: I. Haupt, "17; D. Fitz. ; College Council Meets in Deanery Business Proves Many-Sided The first meeting of the College Council, organized last November, to discuss mat- ters of general college interest and to treat of subjects that do not fall under any of the four associations, was held on Novem- ber Sth, in the Deanery. President Thomas presided. An interpretation of the announcement made at the Christian Association recep- tion, “that Freshmen shall not sit on com- mittees until after their second quiz” was made. Hereafter Freshman elections to committees — shall the semester Freshmen shall be allowed to sit on committees and do light work. President Thomas said that the chairman of the committee should be responsible for seeing that the work was not too heavy. It was a sense of the meeting that the Undergraduate Association and the Grad- uate Club confer with President Thomas and Dean Smith on the possibility of a course in Public Speaking, to be given Monday evenings from 8.00 to 9.30. This course would be separate from the Debat- ing Club. © In order to save the students’ time, it was decided that Miss Applebee and Miss Adair should draw up new slips covering all details of the use of the gymnasium. Students in future will get these slips from Miss Adair’s office, get President Thomas's permission if the entertainment is of a new kind, see Miss Madison about the date, fill out the slip and leave it with Miss Adair. The rest of the arrangements will then be made by the office, and the student may come back for the signed slip later. The question of non-resident students sleeping in the halls of residence was brought up and passed in the Council.

Ward, ’21 The rendering of Gilbert Murray’s translation of the Hippolytus by Miss Spinney was interesting on _ several counts—both for what it was and for what it was not. It is worth noting the fact that though, as Miss Spinney said, the play was first presented over 2000 years ago, it was not Euripides’ play that was given Friday evening—nor even Gilbert Murray’s. It would have been hard for Euripides to recognise his own work, if he had chanced to wander into the chapel and watch for a while the recitation that was being given against that effective background of blue cur- tains and burning tapers. The charac- ter of the play had been quite changed by the translator. It was padded, ampli- fied, and said in two pretty words what Euripides said in one fiery word. Then, Miss Spinney’s ruthless cutting of the translation did away with the im- pression of Phaedra’s love-sickness as a cruel and subtle malady, and gave the “nobility” of her character a salience, which even the translation did not war- rant. The barbaric effect of Euripides’ study in Greco-Cretan moeurs was, of course, quite lost. The Hippolytus, as thus paraphrased by Murray and telescoped by Miss Spin- ney, was nevertheless an_ interesting thing. Miss Spinney surmounted handi- caps one would have thought almost in- superable, in a play presented by only one person. The smaller character parts, the huntsman and the nurse were well characterized. The first scene between Theseus and his son, was well done, the shift in persons being so skilfully man- aged as to leave the attention free to enjoy her rendering of the lines. In the choruses the performance was uneven. The first showed Miss Spinney’s flexible voice to advantage in the invocation to Artemis. In others, the result was not so fortunate. One person gesticulating alone in the middle of a platform cannot hope to produce so pleasing an effect as a full chorus in an elaborate, rhythmic dance. SHANTUNG DEBATE NOVEMBER 17 Teams Chosen From Competition “Resolved: That the Shantung clause in the Versailles treaty is justifiable,” is the wording of the question to be de- bated next Wednesday evening, by two teams of the Debating Club. The meet- ing, open to the college, will be held at 8.30 P. M. in the Merion Sitting Room. The teams, chosen by competitive try- outs, are: Affirmative, C. Bickley, ’21; (). Pell, ’22; V. Liddell, ’22. Negative, J. Flexner, ’21; F. K. Liu, ’22; G. Rhodes, 22. The following alternate teams, to hold trial debates with the teams before the open debate, were chosen: To debate against the affirma- tive side, A. Domm, '22; R. Beardsley, '23; L. Affelder, 23; against the negative, M. Lawrence, '23; E. Kirkpatrick, '23; S. McDaniel, ‘23. The club, at a meeting on October 27th, voted to debate the Shantung ques- tion, rather than the Irish question, which had been posted. two _ FRESHMEN ELECT OFFICERS Anne Shiras Is President At the Freshman elections held last Wednesday Anne Shiras was made presi- dent, Elizabeth Howe, vice-president and treasurer, and Ethel Teft, secretary. . Miss Shiras is the scholar for the New England division, and in her Senior year at Miss Walker’s was head prefect. Miss Howe was vice-president of heft class in her Junior year at Shipley, and in her Senior year was leader of the choir and of the Mandolin Club. Miss Teft, who came from Miss Spence’s, was temporary secretary. GHOSTS WALK SIDE-BY-SIDE ; PARTY FOR SOPHOMORES Seniors Entertain 1923 With Hallowe’en Stunts Orange lights cast a lurid glow over a scene of mystic revel at the Hallowe'en party given by the Seniors to 1923 in the gymnasium last Saturday night. From their haunts among the corn, black-robed spectres spread their arms in ghostly welcome. Ina far corner a witch brooded over her cauldron, while above her owls hooted and black cats arched their backs in recognition of their broomstick relative. Dead leaves __rus- tled and swirled under the rhythmic tread of the dancers, and overhead golden balloons bobbed eerily in time to the swaying shadows. In dusky corners lurked wandering spirits of different ilk. One told weird tales of past and future, and from potent vessels drew forth the fate of each ques- tioner. Others presided over the revels, enticing the adventurous to try their luck at bobbing apples and warning the unwary away from the fiery brew. Con- tests of various sorts held sway. A, Smith, '23, proved herself the most glut- tonous cater of pumpkin pie, and K. Raht, '23, and M. Holt, ’23, showed their genius at the dance as it is not done. MERION FALLS BEFORE VARSITY Game Ends With Final Score 6-1 Rallying in the second half of the game against the Merion Cricket Club last Saturday, Varsity was victorious with a final score of 6-1. In the first half the offensive of both teams was disorganized breaking through the defense for only one goal as against the six scored in the -second period. The first goal was scored by M. Tyler, : [to representative sports. early in the game after a dribble by E. Cecil. For the rest of the half neither forward line was able to break through the opposing defense for a goal. Miss Townsend, at center half, and Miss Ma- | deira, right full-back, blocked the Brown forwards, while Miss Duncan, left full- back, starred for Bryn Mawr with her heady stick work and passing. At the opening of the second half the Merion forwards rushed the ball to the edge of the circle only to be blocked by E. Donohue, who passed to C. Bickley for a long dribble ending in a goal by E. Cecil. The third goal was scored by C. Bickley after a long run, followed by a spectacular tally for Merion by Miss Mutch after a clever get-away at the 25-yard line. Then followed three goals in quick succession by C. Bickley, M. Tyler and M. Faries, bringing the total score to six for Bryn Mawr as against one for Merion. During this half the forward line rallied and showed skilfull team work, evading the powerful Merion defense time after time.

Admission is $1.00 for reserved, $1.50 for unreserved seats, and all proceeds go to the maintenance of Tagore’s school for boys at Shantineketan. The Indian poet is described in a Book- man article, November 16th, as “a slim man over six feet in height, with a high turban and long gray robe that makes him look still taller, a full brow, deep brown eyes, a long grayish beard, flowing hair, and features that remind one of the Christ as he is seen in De Vinci's pictures.” “The story of Tagore’s life, as his In- dian biographer Roy tells us,” reads a re- view in the Bookman for August 15th, “is like that of almost every great genius; the youthful precocity, the unremitting revolt against alien and established conventions and institutions, and above all the sudden birth of an exalted idealism which has remained with him throughout his life. “Until Tagore was ten years old, his father, universally known in India as Great Sage, left him severely alone, and then, sud- denly becoming aware of the extraordinary qualityof the youthful poet’s mind, for Tagore had been writing verse for four years, went alone with him to the Hima- layas to train him in the school of nature. “In the months spent in the mountains, Tagore roamed about as he pleased. Here — he read nearly every important work writ- ten in Bengali, and also learned Sanscrit, English, botany and astronomy, besides his constant production of poetry’ and his strides in what his biographer calls ‘lessons in responsibility.’ “After a year spent in London trying to fathom the intricacies of the English legal mind, he returned to Bengal, and at the age of sixteen started in earnest on his career as poet and writer.” ENDOWMENT FUND DONORS COME TO VIEW, COLLEGE Six hundred Endowment Fund donors visited the college last Thursday, at the invitation of President Thomas. The entire campus was on exhibition for them, athletic matches were staged for their benefit, and tea was served at the Dean- ery. A corps of undergraduates acted as guides to the points of general interest. All the athletic fields were given over Beginning at 4 o'clock was a first-team hockey game between ’23 and '24 on the first field, and a second-team game between the Seniors and Juniors on the second field. On the upper field was a basket ball match of teams chosen from the three upper classes, and apparatus work by the higher teams, and the tumblers who per- formed on May Day. On the tennis courts, first, second and third team play- ers contested. Tea was served at the Deanery from 3.30 until 6.30 o'clock. The receiving line, headed by President Thomas, was made up of trustees, Endowment Fund Committee members, faculty and alum- nae, and included Mrs. Frederick J. Man- ning (Helen Taft, '15), Mrs. Richard 5S. Francis, Mrs. F. Louis Slade, and Miss Gertrude Ely. The tables scattered about the house and garden were presided over by faculty members, wardens and alumnae. ae + es "22 wat, Eee 2 ‘BOARD Dororuy McBrweg ‘21 Evizasetu Mis ‘21 Mary Dovotas Hay '22 Conmerta Barr '22 Subscriptions i begin at any time Subscriptions, gn “Mailing Price, $3.00 Entered as second class matter Geptember 26, 1914 at : office at Bryn Mawr, Pa., 1889, under the post oll'the Act of March 3. -M.

The enormous work of consulting makers and choosing original designs, which each successive ring com- mittee undertakes, would be practically eliminated. Moreover, better terms are available when the design of the ring 1s not origin each year. As a symbol of the college common to all classes, the ring will fill a long-felt want. It will serve as a link between those alumnae who did not know each other in college—forever the “outward and visible sign” of the allegiance which each class, be its color red, blue or green, owes to Bryn Mawr. Class Versus College Spirit There is an axiom in the geometry book to the effect that the whole is equal to the sum. of all its parts. This is proved most intricately and most em- phatically and holds for hockey teams and other aspects of college life as well as for higher mathematics. _ The class is only a part, a division in the college unit, and as such should be put in the proper relation to the college. Too much emphasis is laid on class spirit and class activities, so that the sum total college spirit is overlooked. And Every Foot Had Its Place Having been piloted about the campus in general, and to the athletic field in par- ticular, one of the visiting donors, with reasonable curiosity, asked: “But where do you study?” On being led to the library she beheld it filled, it is true, mot with every head bent over a desk, but with every foot most comfortably aloft. Now no doubt this manifestation of the “true American spirit” may have been overlooked by the 600 people who visited college, but probably it was not. Under the circumstances it showed a regretable lack of judgment on the part of the stu- dents, for at a moment when the college wished to appear at its best, it would never be construed as an argument for the scholasticism of Bryn Mawr. COLLEGE COUNCIL MEETS (Continued from Page 1) After discussion, President Thomas and Dean Smith approved of adding two more nights, Banner Show and Class parties, and also agreed to make no charge for the five nights—Lantern Night, Junior-Senior Sup- per, Sophomore Play, Banner Show and Class Parties when non-residents may spend the night in the halls. The matter wag later brought up at a warden’s meet- ing and formally approved. Junior and Senior class meetings may be held only in the Merion and Denbigh sit- tme rooms, ‘and all other club meetings shall be held in Taylor Hall and in the library, according to a decision reached by President Thomas and Dean Smith, after conferring with the student members of the Council IN FIRST TEAM F _ Fighting a close battle, the Senior first team triumphed over 1923 in the first match game of the season last Monday with a 5-4 score. The play on both sides was characetized by a lack of team work and was scrappy throughout the game. Starting off with a rush, the Red team took the lead with two goals, but was unable to hold the Sophomore team. A. Smith shot the first goal for the Green, followed immediately with one by E. Vincent after a long dribble by M. Adams. Then followed a period during which neither side gained, ending in a long shot across the circle for a tally by K. Walker. M. Adams, Sophomore right wing, played a consistently brilliant game, evading the Senior full-backs for several spectacular runs. With the score at 4-3, K. Walker made the first goal of the half for the Seniors. Then M. Adams, clearing the ball at the 50-yard line, took it the length of the field, passing to E. Vincent for the final goal of the game. The Senior team showed a lack of co-operation between the offense and defense, while ’23 lacked team work on the forward line. K. Walker starred for the Seniors, with three goals to her credit, while H. Rice, '23, played a dependable game at full- back. Line-up—1921: Cecil, Walker,*** C. Bickley,* D. McBride, F. Billstein,* W. Worcester, E. Cope, J. Peyton, E. Tay- lor, M. Kirkland, M. Foot. 1923: \i! Adams, V, Brokaw,* M. Mc- Loughlin, E. Vincent,** A. Smith,* F. Martin, V. Corse, E. Page, H. Rice, A. Howell, M. Bradley. RED SECOND WINS EASY VICTORY Back Field Proves Mainstay of Team 1921’s strong.defense led the red team to a 9-1 victory in the first game of the preliminaries on Tuesday. The game was scrappy, both teams play- ing out of position, the half-backs and full- backs overlapping. The opposing wings, E. Jay and H. Price, dribbled spectacularly. At a tense moment eight sticks were push- ing the ball only a few inches in front of the goal, finally to give way to ’21’s im- pregnable defense. During the second half, '21 scored six successive goals, four being pick-ups by C. Mottu. J. Spurney blocked effectively the left side by her speed. Line-up — 1921: E. Jay (RW.), L Beckwith (R.I.), C. Mottu (C.), E. Kales (L.1L), H. James (L.W.), J. Spurney (R.H.), E. Mills (C.H.), J. Peyton (L.H.), M. Goggin (R.F.), A. Taylor (L.F.), H. Stone (G.). 1923: _H.

Substitutes—’21: Morton for Spurney, Kales for Morton, Smith for Kales. H. Price Beaudrias 1921 WINS FROM 1923 ON FOURTH Winning the first game of the fourth- team series, 1921 defeated 1923, with a score of 3-2, last Monday afternoon. From a score of 1-1 the Seniors gained the advantage by a quick goal shot by K. Johnston. D. Lubin, scoring two goals, played a fast and dependable game at right wing. E. Collins proved the strength of the left field. The Sophomore forwards, well sup- ported by the half-backs, made several swift and spectacular dribbles, only to lose the ball through carless passing. Line-up—1921: D. Lubin,** K, Johns- ton,* I. Lauer, E. Collins, N. Porter, H. Bennett, P. Ostroff, C. Barton, D. Klenke, J. Brown, E. Boswell. Substi- tutes: M. Baldwin for R. Ostroff. 1923: S. MecDaniell, E. Ericson, E. Scott,* E. Phillbrick* M. Carey, N. Fitz- Gerald. K. Strauss, F. Childs, G. Carson, H. Carson, V. Miller _ Goal by Neel.Gives Juniors Lead — After tieing 2-2 in the first half of the game against the Freshmen, 1922 battled its way to victory in the last period on first team yesterday, with a score of 4-3. The game opened with a hot scrimmage, followed almost immediately by a goal for 1924 by M. Faries, after a dribble by F. Begg. Then came a clean goal for the dark blue by C. Baird, who starred on the for- ward line, scoring 2 out of their 4 goals. A second goal apiece by Baird and Faries brought the half to an end. Throughout the game the team work between the Freshmen forwards was conspicuous, F. Begg starring particularly by her speed and clever stick work. With the score at 3-3 in the middle of the second half, after spectacular goals by R. Neel, '22, full-back, and B. Tuttle, ’24, half-back, the Juniors scored the last goal of the game with a clean tally by A. Nicoll, after a run the length of the field. The dark blue team played a messy game and overworked the left side of the field, while 1924 had a fast forward line, but shot wildly in the circle. Line-up—1922: E. Finch, M. Tyler, C. Baird,** A. Nicoll,* A. Orbison, M. Krech, B. Clarke, F. Bliss, E. Donohue, R. Neel,* G. Rhoads. 1924: K. Elston, M. Russell, B. Howe, F. Begg, M. Faries,** E. Angell, B, Tuttle,* M. Palache, B. Pierson, M. Bailey, V. Neilson. DARK BLUE CRUSHES 1924 ON 2ND Wins Preliminaries With 9-0 Score— The Junior second team crashed through to victory over 1924 with a 9-0 score in the preliminaries last Monday. The Freshmen were outclassed from start to finish and never seriously threat- ened the Dark Blue goal. Jumping into the lead with two goals scored by the half-backs, 1922 completely baffled the Light Blue defense, taking the ball down for goal after goal. O. How- ard, center forward, and M. Crosby, at right wing, starred for the Juniors, pass- ing well on the forward line and scoring five of the nine tallies. In the backfield J. Palache proved the backbone of the Junior defense, while R. McNeely played a steady game for 1924. The Junior team was strong and showed itself clever at passing and shoot- ing, while the Freshmen were disorgan- ized and lAcked confidence. Line-up — 1922: Crosby,*** Voorhees, Howard,*** Norcross,** Rogers, Ken- nard,* Smith, Cameron, Palache, Jennings, Liddell. Substitutes: Domm for Rogers. 1924: Lawrence, Ford, Borden, Price, Wicks, Gallway, Miller, Mosle, Lewitz,| McNeely, Coyne. LIGHT AND DARK BLUE TIE ON 4TH Playing a ragged game, the Junior and Freshmen fourth teams tied in the pre- liminary match yesterday, with a score of 5-5. A. Woodruff, '22, played a good game on left wing, taking the ball down the field again and again, and shooting well to cen- ter, while H. Stevens, at center, shot three out of the five tallies scored by 1922. The Junior passing was weak in the first half, but improved in the second, while 1924 lacked a strong defense and passed poorly to the forward line. M, Tjader starred for the Freshmen at left inside, scoring three of their goals. Line-up—1922: A. Woodruff, A. Gabel, H. Stevens,*** E. Brush,** A. Fountain, S. Kirkbride, E. Hall, E. Brown, M. Speer, V. Grace, O. Pell. 1924: M. Smith, M. Anderson,* L. Dill- ingham,* E. Tadjer,*** J. Gregg, A. Shiras, B. Taylor, B Pierke, Bensberg, E.

Hilda Buttenweiser, ’20, has accepted a Fellowship in Latin at the University of Cincinnati. NO MEETING HELD AFTER SIX At a recent meeting of the wardens with President Thomas and Dean Smith it was decided that in order to make it possible for the students to give time to meals and to change for dinner, the Graduate Club, the Undergraduate Association, the Christian Association, the Self-Govern- ment Association, the Athletic Board and all the students’ organizations and clubs, including the four undergraduate classes, should be asked not to hold meetings before 1.30 P. M., between 6 and 6.30 P. M., or before 7.30 P. M. At a meeting of the Students’ Council held November Ist, by request of the council this order was modified to read 7.20 instead of 7.30, and it was under- stood that an exception to the 6 to 6.30 rule should be made for Vespers service on Sunday, because all the students dressed for dinner before attending service. SILVER BAY DELEGATES PRESENT “RACIAL FACTORS IN DEMOCRACY” Following Dr. C. E. Silcox’s course on “Racial Factors in Democracy” given at Silver Bay last Summer, H. Hill, ’21; M. P. Kirkland, ’21; K. Walker, ’21; D. Me- serve, '23, and A. Smith, ’23, led a dis- cussion of the race question this evening in Denbigh Sitting Room. Next Wednes- day evening Dr. Silcox will speak on “The International Aspects of the Race Problem and the Christian Solution.” During the war, Dr. Silcox was in charge of educational and religious work among the war workers at Newport, R. I. “Two-thirds of the inhabitants of the world are either yellow, brown or black,” said Dr. Silcox in the forword to his course. “It is well to consider this fact in the light of the growth of democracy.” Following Dr. Silcox’s outline, K. Walker, ’21, spoke on the “Superman Ethic as Applied to Races’; E. Cecil, ’21, on “The Emergence and Passing of Dominant Races”; D. Meserve, ’23, on “The Doctrine of Eeternal Recurrence”; M. P. Kirkland on “The Policy of Segre- gation,” and H. Hill on “An Analysis of Race Prejudice.” MERION FALLS BEFORE VARSITY (Continued from Page 1) field Miss Duncan, E.

Day, head of the Labor Temple in New York City, spoke in chapel last Sunday evening on “The » Call of the Kingdom to America.” “The Kingdom,” said Dr. Day, “is an ideal . state, an over-soul to America. Every right-minded American realizes our obli- gation to make what we believe worth while in America the property of the world. “The Bolshevik,” said Dr. Day, “will talk to you of democracy, the democracy that means the hiss of the serpent and the scourge of fire. Democracy and order must be preserved together. When you find unity and independence, com- munism and anarchy combined in one individual, you get an ideal citizen such as Lincoln.” Culture and truth are also ideals of America today, Dr. Day believes. “Amer- ica was the first nation,” he said, “to put education in the hands of her citizens and say ‘do with it what you will.’” Health Department Notice Oculist examinations for Freshmen, Juniors and new Graduate students will begin on Monday evening, November 8th, at 7.30, in the gymnasium. Lists of appointments have been posted in the gymnasium, and students must sign for appointments. The hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday evenings and Thursday afternoons. J. E.

Wyckoff, °22, will play the organ alternate Sundays for the Maids’ Sunday School. FRENCH CLUB HOLDS OPENING TEA Miss Schenck, Mlle. Pardé and M. Gilli were the guests of the French Club at its opening tea in Denbigh last Wed- nesday afternoon. About fifty people were present, including the newly ad- mitted members of the club. Abbé Dimnet, the French authority on English literature, who gave an ad- dress here last year, has again been obtained by the club to speak, probably some time in January. ow Large is an Atom? as TOMS are so infinitesimal that to be seen under the most power- ful microscope one hundred million must be grouped. The atom used to be the smallest indivisible unit of matter. When the X-Rays and radium were discovered physicists found that they were dealing with smaller things than atoms—with particles they call “electrons.” Atoms are built up of electrons, just as the solar system is built up of sun and planets. Magnify the hydrogen atom, says Sir Oliver Lodge, to the size of a cathedral, and an electron, in comparison, will be no bigger than a bird-shot. Not much substantial progress can be made in chemical and elec- trical industries unless the action of electrons is studied. For that reason the chemists and physicists in the Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company are as much concerned with the very con- stitution of matter as they are with the development of new inven- tions. They use the X-Ray tube as if it were a machine-gun; for by its means electrons are shot at targets in new ways so as to reveal more about the structure of matter. As the result of such experiments, the X-Ray tube has been greatly improved and the vacuum tube, now so indispensable in radio com- munication, has been developed into a kind of trigger device for guid- ing electrons by radio waves. Years may thus be spent in what seems to be merely a purely “theoretical” investigation. Yet nothing is so practical as a good theory. The whole structure of modern mechanical engineering is reared on Newton’s laws of gravitation and motion—theories stated in the form of immutable propositions. In the past the theories that resulted from purely scientific re- search usually came from the university laboratories, whereupon the industries applied them. The Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company conceive it as part of their task to explore the un- fenown in the same spirit,even though there may be no immediate commercial goal in view. Sooner or later the world profits by such research in pure science. Wireless communication, for example, was accomplished largely as the result of Herz’s brilliant series of purely scientific experiments demonstrating the existence of wireless wavcs.

NIGHT SCHOOL TEACHER NEEDED Two Italian girls, very anxious to re- learn the English, which they have for- gotten since their visit back to Italy, have come to the Community Center, according to Miss Helen Barrett, Ld) director. As the Italian women are usually very hard to reach, she feels this is an unusually good opportunity to help them. COSTUMES WRAPS TAILLEURS =MANTEAUX — MILLINERY | GOSPELS’ BACKGROUND AND ORIGIN BS coe COLLEGE NEWS SUBJECT OF DR. ‘TYBON'S TALK Taking as his theme the background and origin of the gospels, Dr. Stuart Tyson, of Princeton, gave the last of his four “Talks on the Bible” “The gospels developed in a most simple and natural way,” said Dr. Tyson. “They are among the twenty-seven docu- ments selected about 400 A. D. from the mass of Christian literature, to be author- ities for Christan beliefs, because they were written either by Christ’s apostles, or some one who had known the apos- tles.” Dr. Tyson showed that Mark, after Peter's death, wrote down in Greek, about 65 or 70 A. D., what he remem- bered of Peter's talks on the life of Christ. St. Matthew's gospel, Dr. Tyson said, was written by an unknown author, with St. Mark’s gospel and certain of Christ’s sayings which St. Matthew had set down, as sources. St. Luke’s gospel was likewise founded on St. Mark’s and a collection of Christ’s sayings collected by a group of women who had known Him. “Luke’s gospel, more than any other, said Dr. Tyson, “emphasizes prayer and the universality of the new religion.” BLOUSES MONDAY Nov. 15th FASH Dresses Suits Furs Sweaters Skirts Negligees Shoes Franklin Simon & Co. cA Store of Individual Shops Fifth Avenue, New York Will exhibit at the MONTGOMERY INN Bryn Mawr, Pa.

Had- be- Bryn bales Wik be vepteaciaed xt the ld Intercollegiate Student Government Con-| | ference at Elmira College, New York,| by a member of the Undergraduate Board, as well as of the Self-Government | Board, as voted at a meeting of the Self- Government Association in Taylor Hall on November 2nd. The delegates are M. Foot, '21, Undergraduate President, and K. Gardner, '22, Junior member of the Self-Government Board. The question of allowing four or more students to go to the Metropolitan Opera unchaperoned was voted down on the ground that it would be a radical step toward removal of all chaperon rules. Informal written reprimands for mo- toring after dark unchaperoned were given to four students, a spoken one to another student, and an informal spoken one for entering the hall after 10.30 with- out sufficient excuse. BRYN MAWR REPRESENTED AT 1. C. &. A. CONFERENCE Visits to Chinatown and the Ghetto Julia Henning, ’23, and Star McDaniel, 23, represented Bryn Mawr at the semi-. annual meeting of the Intercollegiate Com- munity Service Association, held at the New York College Settlement over last week-end. Miss Henning read a report sent by the Bryn Mawr chapter. At 9.30, Saturday, Dr. Susan Kingsbury, president of the association, welcomed the conference in a business meeting, speaking of the civic responsibilities, the equal op- portunity and privilege for which the I. C. S. A. stands. Then Miss Mary Gove Smith, organizing secretary, reported the growth of interest in Undergraduate Chap- ters lacking in Alumnae Chapters. The I. C. S. A. has a $3000 deficit, for which it wants increased subscriptions, especially from Alumnae Chapters. “The College Girl and Social Service” was the subject of discussion led by Miss Anna F. Davies, head worker of the Phila- delphia College Settlement, and Mr. John L. Elliot of the Hudson Guild. “Social work is a-necessary factor in college edu- cation,” said Miss Davies. After luncheon at the Settlement there was a conference on “Labor and Educa- tion.” Among: the speakers was Miss Gladys Boone, of England, instructor in Social Economy at Bryn Mawr. One hopeful point in the labor situation, accord- ing to Miss McDaniel’s report of the dis- cussion is, that the laboring classes are at present seeking educational opportunities instead of having them thrust upon them unasked for. MISS BLAINE NEW SECRETARY OF THE ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION Margaret G. Blaine is now executive secretary of the Alumnae Association. Miss Blaine was chairman of the New England Division in the Endowment Campaign. She succeeds Bertha S. Ehlers, 09, who is working with the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company in Philadelphia. JUNIORS FAVOR COLLEGE RINGS The proposal to adopt a college ring which, with minor variations for each class, would take the place of class rings, will be brought up for discussion before the Undergraduate Association, according to a motion passed unanimously by 1922. Vassar and several other colleges have adopted this plan.
