MARTINS | Season’s First Game Played in Rain Outplaying St. Martins in a slow scrappy game, Varsity scored a 5-3 victory last Saturday in the first match of the season. A cold drizzle setting in early in the game made the ground extremely slippery so that good passing was almost impossible. The backfield play was the main feature of the Bryn Mawr team from the begin- ning. In spite of a disorganized forward line and many substitutions the Bryn Mawr players were more consistent than their opponents, although lack of practice in both teams- was evident. Weak in hit- ting, St. Martins frequently lost the ball to H. Rice, fullback. Miss Bartel, the right half for the visiting team, was clever at clearing, but was unable to feed her for- wards effectively. A brilliant goal from the wing by E. An- derson gave Varsity a lead in the first half, which was sustained throughout the game. Two goals by A.

PRESIDENT THOMAS WELCOMES INCOMING FRESHMAN CLASS Discusses Faults of Education In Opening Chapel Address Speaking in chapel last Wednesday, President Thomas said: I want to say a few words to you about what I think ought to be our main preoccupation during this thirty-sixth year of Bryn Mawr College. We are opening under very happy circumstances. In the United States the strain of the war is over—at least for young people. The college students of this country for the first time since the war began are now ready and eager to return to their old paths of prosperity and peace. The boys and girls who are now in college have really felt no shock from the war. You were all too young fully to realize what it meant to those of us who were older. The Freshmen I have talked to this year (and I have seen about one-half of our Freshman class) impressed me as being very much like Freshmen before the war. | They seem to me to be just what they used to be. This is as it should be. The hideous crime of the war and all its ter- rible after-consequences should as far as possible be borne by us who are older and not by the younger generation. It was our fault, not theirs. be able to recover from it and they seem to me to have done so. Another happy circumstance is that education throughout the world and es- pecially in the United States has come into its own. It is in a position at this moment that it has never before filled in my memory. In the eyes of everyone, and especially in the eyes of young peo- ple, it seems to me to have become in- finitely more worth while than it ever has been before. Many of our Freshmen impress me as having made up their minds to have a college education only within the last few years. They have dimly felt in the air the feeling about the great importance of education, As I have said, they are like the earlier Freshmen that I used to talk to before the war. I believe they have come to Bryn Mawr with their whole hearts. This has not been so since the war. Our students have seemed to feel that they ought to be in the hospitals or in France, or educating wounded soldiers, or any- where else except in Bryn Mawr College. 3ut now armies of young people are marching on our colleges: and univer- sities by thousands. In Europe this movement is so tremendous that the uni- versities are limiting the number of their students because they cannot take care of them. Value of Education Proved by War After all, althouth we find a great deal of fault with education and there are few people who have not a stone to throw at education, yet with all its shortcom- ings education, even imparted as it is to our not very eager students, is the very best thing we know. This was given a world-wide demonstration in the great war. College men and women in the United States, Great Britain and France carried everything before them, and it is the wide-spread realization of this that is now crowding our high schools and colleges with young men and especially with young women who never thought of going to college before. Workers’ education everywhere has taken on a new significance. Manual workers and peasants in Russia and in other disorganized European countries are said to be demanding at the point of the bayonet i extension courses and making incredible sacrifices university (Continued on Page 2) They ought to. ALL_ENGLAND HOCKEY TEAM MAKES_FIRST AMERICAN VISIT League Plans Two Matches Between British Players and Varsity Arriving next week the All-England hockey team, composed of fourteen women from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, will invade the United States for a series of hockey matches, of which two will be played against Bryn Mawr Varsity on October 29 and November 9. Captained by Miss Gaskell, who has played in Australia, as well as England, the team is coming to America for the first time. The schedule of the matches to be played has been arranged by the Philadel- phia League, which finances the team while it is here. This includes, besides the cricket clubs around Philadelphia, games with other colleges, and last season’s over- seas teams. The English players will go up to Rosemary Hall, Greenwich, Conn., before sailing for home. Admission to the matches is free, except in the case of the three All-Philadel- phia games, for which fifty cents will be charged. These tickets are on sale at Spaulding’s Athletic Store in Philadelphia. The schedule is: October 20, vs. 1920 All-Philadelphia at the Germantown Cricket Club. October 22, vs. 1920 Overseas team at the Philadelphia Cricket Club, October 29, vs. Bryn Mawr Varsity at Bryn Mawr. October 31 and week following, New England trip, games with Wellesley, Rad- cliffe and Boston School of Physical Edu- cation. November 7, vs, 1921 All-Philadelphia at the Merion Cricket Club, November 9, vs. Bryn Mawr Varsity at Bryn Mawr. November 12, vs. 1920 All-Philadelphia at Philadelphia Country Club at Bala. November 14, vs. winner of league series 1921 at Philadelphia Cricket Club. November 16, vs. 1921 All-Philadelphia at Philadelphia Cricket Club.

Like prohibition it is far from solving the prob- ‘tem; for if people can’t get the recreation ' they want they will only manufacture some other kind, and, just as the country is busy making hooch and moonshine so Bryn Mawr is busy planning more athletics, more bridge, and more general festivity. Rules which take away freedom pre suppose the inability of those whom they affect to act for the best; and it will but be in accotdance with the judgment of those who made the rule, if the undergrad- uates, since they have had their immaturity forced upon them, become more childish than ever. It is like the old case of the horse. He will go to the water himself when he is thirsty, but you can‘t make him drink by leading him to it; and if you try to force it down, it becomes a medicine to be avoided in the future. A Rising Star All generations of Bryn Mawrters from the far-off times of 1912 until the present day are bound to take the keenest interest in Mrs. Helen Taft daughter, who so very recently made her Manning’s small entry into the world. It is significant, in the first place, that she is a daughter. She might have been a son, which would have spoiled the story; but as it is she is safely entered at Bryn Mawr for the years 1937, 1938, or 1939 (the odds are against her being even) and we feel sure that as chair- man of the Freshman Committee she will triumphantly keep the parade song from sleuths now in their cradles. It is certain that those who know her mother, either as a clever and entertaining fellow stu- dent, president of the College, will follow little or as the capable dean and acting Miss Manning’s career with almost pro- prietary interest. CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION From the very interesting description of the Summer School classes which Mrs. Saunders gave in chapel last Friday, it is i clear that we of the “winter school” have some very important questions to answer. Do we know what we want to get from our classes, and are we going after it? These are questions which directly con- cern the student, and which she can answer more satisfactorily than can any educa- tional authority. It will be generally agreed that what is wanted is a course which answers ques- tions about which the student has a nat- ural curiosity, and which explains and interprets and enriches the world she al- nothing to guide him. Once, however, a free give and take is well established and the pupils see to it that the courses are adapted to meet their needs as far as pos- sible, enthusiasm for learning will revive. Summer School students will no longer accuse the “winter school” of a lack of fire in the pursuit of wisdom. Music and Chaperons Ignorance is bliss only as long as you After that it be- comes a sharp pang of mental hunger. The advent of Mr. Surette into Bryn Mawr has awakened pangs of this sort far and wide through the College. People whose only preoccupation was economics and psychology have abruptly been faced with the towering importance of music, are unconscious of it. and their proportional ignorance has ap- palled them. Large attendance at Mr. Surette’s classes will not be the only effect of the new enthusiasm. From now on more and more students will wish to attend concerts and Neither Mr. Su- rette nor the earnest workers who brought him to Bryn Mawr could desire artything better, yet to make this possible and rea- operas in Philadelphia. sonable, the incubus of chaperon rules must be struck off.

Ignorant Bryn Mawr From The Nation for Wednesday, Octo- ber 12, comes the following comment: and the distinguishing marks of culture open to “Education is a curious thing, question. Bryn Mawr opened its academic halls last summer to a school for working girls. Tutors were chosen from the best of Mryn Mawr’s students, but the working girls, many of whom had never been to high school, thought some of their tutors quite uneducated. “What is this A. F. of L. you talk about?” one of the educated queried of the uneducated. To a member of the International Ladies Workers Union a flood of questions came from one of the curious educated: “What is this International you talk about? Is it the Third International ? What is the Third Garment beauties of East and West,” is an article in the November Photoplay, which dis- cusses the ratio of beauty and intelligence among college women, as compared to motion picture actresses. A search was made by Photoplay, with the help of Mrs. Ruth Grimwood, of Bar- nard, to find the prettiest girls in the col- leges. Samuel Goldwyn, president of the Goldwyn Company, gave many of these an opportunity to appear on the screen. His offer, however, was not favorably received. As a result of the search Mrs. Grimwood concludes : “The only girls who combined beauty with an appreciation of any possible lure which the screen might offer were those who had become seriously interested in the stage as a profession or some few from co-educational institutions where beauty is not so negligible a quantity. “Have our women’s colleges got on the wrong track? Are they developing a sort of super-woman, a sexless creature who has no time for such mundane matters as charm and personal appeal? Are they de- stroying the femininity which is so much of a woman’s charm? “The young woman in college has be- come slovenly and neglectful of the shell which houses her soul and mind. The issues have become clouded for her. She is becoming mentally flatfooted and obese.” MANY BOOKS AND ARTICLES PUBLISHED BY FACULTY Mr. Rowley Does Research Abroad Miss King, professor of history of art, is publishing the “Play of the Sybil Cas- sandra” and “Citizen of Twilight,” con- cerning a Colombian poet, and a “Brief History of Military Order in Spain” for the Hispanic Society. Miss King is also seeing through the press a book on Thomas Hardy, by Dr. Chew, professor of English literature. Dr, Draper, lecturer in English liter- ature, has just published in Holland a paper on the “Theory of Translation in Eighteenth Century England,” a treatise on Aristotelian “Imitations.” He is also bringing out a biographical review of Ed- mund Spencer and other papers, and has under consideration in New York a book on the “Life and Works of the Rey. Wil- liam Mason, M. A.” Mr. Rowley, instructor in history of art, spent the summer doing research work in Sienese painting and Oriental art, in the British Museum with Lawrence Binyon, author of books on Oriental art, and with Arthur Waley, one of the foremost Chinese translators, and in Paris at the Gymmet and Cernuschi.

The Bryn Mawr Summer School for Women Workers in Industry opened at Bryn Mawr College for the first time in the summer of 1921 and, attended by eighty- three women workers, was a revelation to the teachers who taught it. It was a fortunate thing for the students of Bryn Mawr College that our faculty voted that no professor of the College should teach it. They would never again have been contented to teach you, factory I fear. 1 am told that all the teachers of the Summer School found it a won- derful and unique experience to teach college subjects to students wild to learn, who thought lectures so infinitely that they would almost mob lecturers who missed one. As an experi- ence it was both terrifying and infinitely moving to hold in their hands such crea- tive power over their students, and to see each day the spirit of life moving on the face of the waters. It showed them what teaching might be and that if only it could be as perfectly adapted to the needs of our college students it would be received with the same _ rapturous attention. When these factory girls came here they did not know how to read except word by word often pronounced aloud. They did not know the meaning of ordinary words. They were so exhausted by lis- tening to a lecture that they could scarcely sit through it. But they went to work in little classes of seven with the Bryn Mawr graduates who acted as tutors, and studied words and learned to read book after book. By the end of the eight weeks they really had mastered not only reading but the subject matter of the books read. At first their teachers were in despair, but after three or four weeks were over they were listening with rapt attention to their lectures and were saying to one another after the lee- tures, “I understood it all.” Power of Education Newly Realized The only accident that happened was to a student who broke her knee cap standing quite still and putting out her leg. She was taken to the hospital and Dean Smith, who was with her, said, “I am so sorry that this has happened,” and she replied just before she went under precious ether, “I would give my other leg to have come.” This was the spirit of everyone. But this new and almost universal ap- preciation of the power of education has brought upon us what I regard as a ter- rible menace to American schools and colleges and to free and liberal thought —the greatest danger that has come in, ' my lifetime. The Federal and State gov- ernments, canization Boards of Education, Ameri- Societies, American Legions and organizations of every kind are now demanding that children and college stu- dents should be taught patriotism, con- crete citizenship and 100 per cent. Amer- icanism. This means that school teach- ers and college professors (at first in public schools and state universities and then everywhere) will be required to teach not how to make things as they should be but that things as they are are right; that the United States Constitu- tion as written one hundred and thirty- four years ago is perfect; that our highly unsatisfactory National and State gov- ernments must not be criticized; that the United States flag (which as we all know now flies over many cruel injustices which we hope to right) must be rev- erenced as a sacred symbol of unchanging social order and of political death in life. The Lusk law, passed in New York State, is a hideous example of what may happen any day in any and every State. It is impossible to teach concrete polit- ical or religious opinion without arous- ing conflicting parties, one factién of which will surely rise up and rend the (Continued on Page 3) ns rensectonssaniannieinencilenonshinnnyp eet Vol. VIII, No. 2, October 12, 192) THE COLLEGE NEWS Liliniene in in sandblasted aaa.

She is assistant medical physician at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, Cambridge, Mass., and managing editor of the Journal for Indus- trial Hygiene, at Harvard Medical School. medical DR. BARTON STRIKES HOPEFUL NOTE IN FIRST STRMON “In spite of world problems we should not despair,” said Dr. George A, Barton, the chaplain of the College, speaking last Sunday at the first evening service of the year. “We are sure that Jesus Christ, the most perfect character ever known, shall be more and more manifested in the world.” “Again and again doctrinaire panaceas have been proposed and tried out and have failed,” Dr. Barton said. “Christianity on the other hand has spread from a small group of early disciples to include about one-third of the human race. It is becom- ing more and more clear,” he told his con- gregation, “that the only sure solution for industrial and international problems lies in the application of the principles of Christ.” In conclusion, Dr. Barton said to the stu- dents, “It does not yet appear what kind of students you will be, what kind of women you will be. Of one thing be assured: you cannot safely venture upon life unless you have Christ. If you fol- low Him you will hecome each day more pure, more happy, more useful.” DR.

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION GIVES RECEPTION TO NEW STUDENTS The first large entertainment of the year, Christian Association reception, was held in the gymnasium at 4 o'clock last Satur- day afternoon. This reception was of a more informal character than the evening receptions of former years, and the short skit given at the end was an innovation. President Thomas, the only speaker of the afternoon, was introduced by Margaret Speer, ’22, the president of the Christian Association. Miss Thomas welcomed the new students to Bryn Mawr and spoke of the place of the Christian Association in the life of the College. Dean Maddison, Dean Smith, Miss Applebee and Dr. Bar- ton received with Miss Thomas and the presidents of the College associations. The skit fancifully presented Taylor Hall at the opening of College. M. Speer, “The Religious Child,” K.

This can come only from the younger generation now in school and college. In our generation there is no such light or leading. One hundred Americans such as this will strangle free thought in its cradle. Cut and dried opinions on practical matters are almost sure to be wrong.

This name has been changed according | to E. Rhoads, really a great president. The feeling | against Roosevelt was so bitter that his name was never mentioned without hor- | rible abuse at the dinner tables at which | I sat, and any defence of him destroyed the amenity of the dinner.

Miss Speer described special cases she knew of poverty in New York, the wretch- edness of many Ellis Island emigrant’, and the tragedy of some houses of correction. “We must go to these people, who. néed us,” she said, “imagine ourselves one of, them and treat them as though*they were our friends.

On my return to the United States I found none so poor to do him reverence. I prophesy that like Washington, Lincoln, Cleveland and Roosevelt, Wilson will rise above the welter of conflicting opin- ion and take the place that belongs to him on the peflestal of human greatness. If our young people are to be instructed what to think on such controversiaf sub: jects of contemporary politics, teachers and professors must teach the majority opinion held by the Boards of Trustees aud Boards of Education and the com- nflinities in which they live. There is no other way out. Otherwise their offi- cial heads will inevitably roll. into the basket. Now is the time, above all others, to affirm as never before freedom of teaching and freedom of opinion. We refuse utterly to teach cut and dried opinions, we must claim as our highest right the liberty to train our stu- dents to think for and to ‘work out for themselves after they leave school and college their own practical Unless the youth of the world now in school and college can develop leadership there will be none in the next generation. Greater Intellectual Effort Needed During the past summer T have been thinking how we can persuade the young men and women in our colleges to make the great intellectual effort required to develop through study their native erals, must themselves applications, the largest addition the library in one summer. Reed, the head librarian, is not, as its name implies, a place where all the latest books are to be found.

As Dr. Flexner | said in his address at the Bryn Mawr The New Book Room, according to Miss | commencement last June, any great dis- | covery in science, any great piece of con- structive thinking, must have behind it a background, laboriously constructed, of knowledge of what has been done by previous workers in the same _ field. many it may easily do for the United: Without this background important ad-.| vances in knowledge or statesmanship | PRESIDENT THOMAS WELCOMES 1925 (Continued from Page 2) are impossible. This is the reason why women as a sex have made so few scien- tific discoveries and have as yet con- tributed so little to original thought. They have not had the foundation on which to build. A flood of light has been thrown on the whole subject of teaching by the intelligence tests of the United States army. These tests selected almost in- fallibly the men who later became cor- porals, sergeants and captains, and sifted out the feeble-minded and morons. Such tests, modified as they have been since, give us the best method known for se- lecting super-children’ to educate for leadership. Honor System for Super-intelligent Now, for the first time, we can find them out and specially educate those A and A plus children who combine high intellectual ability with character and industry. So educated they nfay be de- pended upon to advance the human race by _ scientific discoveries, scholarship, genius of all kinds and above all by a broad comprehension of social problems. This is not Utopian. It is now. really feasible. Let us break up our soul-dey- astating lock-step education. Let us separate out our A and A plus boys and girls and give them our highest and most expert teaching just as fast as they can assimilate it. At present they. are. mark- ing time in our school and college classes, working not at all_and yet. lead- ing their classes and dissipating their unused energy in petty school and col- lege activities. Let put the honor System into all of our colleges and re- ward by the most. precious gifts in our possession superior excellence, This will also be educationally better for the B’s and C’s who will then be given the best education they can take by teachers who will no longer neglect them for the A’s. It will make it possible for our super- men and educated by themselves for knowledge and power to bring salvation to the body politic and in time to administer our schools and colleges as they have never been admin- istered before. Our universities will then no longer be “the homes of lost causes.” We shall then no longer lag behind as we are said to do now. We shall stride on before along the pathway to the sunrise. . I amz.cenvinced that true progress lies along these lines. A great amount of ability will be set free by the emergence of women as a sex and an almost incon- ceivably greater amount in all civilized countries by nine-tenths of the human race coming into its own, as it surely will in the coming era of social recon- struction, and enjoying for the first time in the world’s history equal opportun- ities of education and sufficient leisure to make use of it. Intellect Plus Character Wanted The most serious question-in all edu- cation seems to me to be just this—how are we to deal with those students who are endowed above their fellows, how can we persuade them to give the labo- rious days to become great? Out of the whole body of young people born into the world at any “given* time how can we best educate the specially endowed, the super-children? Of course, we all know that there are great differ- ences between us. Certain of us can do certain things better than others can do same Some of us have great intellectual gifts but no character, no faithfulness, no conscientiousness, no industry. Intellect without these qual- ities added to it does not do its possessor or the world much good, but when we have really great intellectual endowment combined with industry, character, faith- fulness and ambition, then we have something that is the rarest product of the human race and that may advance our so- cial and intellectual level immensely. By vote of the us super-women necessary ihese things. faculty we are going to (Continued on Page 5) THE COLLEGE NEWS erg gr WHERE ro SHOP Separate Skirts “The Thirteenth Street Shop Where Fashion Reigns” —— Thirteenth Street, just below Chestnut Afternoon Dresses Evening Gowns and Dance Frocks Blouses and Silk Lingerie Always the Most Distinctive Fashions in Street and Top Coats “STRAWBRIDGE -and CLOTHIER | SPECIALISTS IN FASHIONABLE APPAREL FOR YOUNG WOMEN MARKET, EIGHTH & FILBERT STS.

Telephone, Bryn Mawr 252-W THE COLLEGE NEWS \o \ ch ies 0 PRESIDENT THOMAS WELCOMES 1925 (Continued from Page 3) have an opportunity this year to intro- duce the honor system in any depart- ment that wishes to do so. That means that post-major students who wish to do so and who in the opinion of the de- partment have the kind of intelligence that will enable them to do specially well in that study will be enabled under the honor system to do a different and more independent kind of work under the di- rection of their professors. This will give an opportunity for special gifts to manifest themselves. I have been thinking of what I should most like for my last year as president of Bryn Mawr College, and I think I should like best to see Bryn Mawr begin to study the problem of teaching. It seems to me one of the greatest prob- lems in the whole world. I do not see why in a small college like this where you are selected out carefully by the entrance examinations (I am told by our Department of Education that you aver- age about two years ahead of your age in the intelligence tests) we could not try out different new methods of teach- ing and decide on the best with the help and co-operation of our students. After all you are the subjects of our teaching and are best able to tell us when we succeed and when we fail and when what is good may be bettered. It would be a wonderful thing if for the next ten years or so Bryn Mawr. could devote it- self to working out the special kind of teaching that will get the best results from your generation of students. Varying Influences Make Up Bryn Mawr Every great thing like a college is made up of a thousand different influ- ences. In the first place, there is the founder who has dreamed of the College. Our founder really did dream of the College, though perhaps he did not dream of it as it is now. In two or three times I talked to him before I went to Ger- many to study he told me what he hoped that it would be, and asked me if I would teach in it. There are the trus- tees who work unselfishly for the Col- lege, each of whom has higher vision; the faculty, who make the College what it is in scholarship and reputation; the present student body, who are the Col- lege, and above all, there are the alumnae and former students watching us and working for us, who have themselves made the life of the College in their day. To all these different elements of the College working together and perfecting the College must be added all the many thousands of employees of the College who also have put their lives into it, and all the people who have given money or left legacies to it because of their faith in it. All these make up Bryn Mawr College. The College is small as col- leges go, but for that reason it is perhaps even more lovely and even more to be loved. A great man said once of a very small college in New England, “It is a small college but there are those who love it.” In working for an institution of spiritual and intellectual power like Bryn Mawr, I think that you will find an exceeding great reward. This has been my experience: It has been my greatest delight during all these thirty- seven years to work for Bryn Mawr. And now, during this, my last year, I wish to ask the students of Bryn Mawr to make me the farewell gift of trying to work with the faculty for the good of the College. When anything goes wrong say, “I will try to make that right,” remembering that you are work- ing for the College, for all the students who have preceded you and for all the students who will come after you. The John C. Winston Company PRINTERS & PUBLISHERS Philadelphia 1006-1016 Arch St., CORNELIA SKINNER APPEARS IN “BLOOD AND SAND” IN NEW YORK Appearing with her father, Otis Skinner, in “Blood and Sand,” a dramatization of the novel by Ibanez, Cornelia Skinner, ex-'22, made her stage debut in New York on September 20. After two years at Bryn Mawr, Miss Skinner studied under M. Dehelly at the Comedie Frangaise in Paris. “I always felt the call of the stage. But no matter what you do in life, the most important thing is a good education,” quotes the Charlotte Observer in regard to Miss Skinner’s training. At college she has played the title-réle in “Rosalind,” Sir Jasper Thorndyke in “Trelawney of the Wells” and in May Day, 1920, took the part of Sacropant in “The Old Wives’ Tale.” In the words of Miss Skinner, her first real role is “that of a superficial, worldly, affected woman, a contrasting type to the elemental El Gallardo of the Spanish bull-ring,” the part played by Mr. Skinner. NEWS IN BRIEF Miss Helen Barrett, for the past two years director of the Bryn Mawr Com- munity Center, has resigned and no suc- cessor has yet been appointed. Until the permanent staff is in charge, no club work or classes at the Center will be organized. Dr. E. A. Johnston Ross, professor of homiletics at Union Theological Seminary, will give the first lecture of his curriculum course on “Studies in Christian Ethics and Contributions of the New Testament to the Moral Life of the World,” on Octo- her 26, from 2 to 4 P. M. * M. Blaine, ’13, secretary of the Alumnae Association, is back in the alumnae rooms after a trip abroad, during which she spent two months in England and flew from London to Paris. “He Who Got Slapped,” by Leonid An- dreyev, will be given by the class of 1923 in the gymnasium on November 3. 1923 has re-elected M. Holt song leader and elected F. Matteson and K. Raht a per- manent music committee to assist her in getting songs written. A tea for all the new foreign graduate Students will be given by the World Citi- zenship Committee next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock in Room 48-52, Pembroke- West.

Baird, ’22, the chair- man. “Save your pennies for the Bates monthly collections now and your weeks next summer to go down to Longbranch,” said Miss Baird. Workers were needed even more than money last summer. One hundred and eighteen children and a group of missionary ladies were enter- tained at Bates House during June and July. Miss Elsa Lotz, who has been head of the Spring Street Settlement Girls’ Clubs, was head worker in charge of rec- reation during the weeks Bryn Mawr was running the house.
