REVIVAL OF FENCING MATCH Undergraduates to Fence Once More Against the Alumnz Soon after Easter vacation the Alum- ne and the undergraduates are to fence against each other. Since 1912, the un- dergraduates have been unable to re- spond to the challenge of the Alumne, but once more they feel bold enough to try their skill. In the two matches which have been held between these two teams, the Alumnz have both times been vic- torious. In 1911, E. Kirkbride, '96; B. 09; C. Wesson, '09, for the) Alumne, fenced against a Varsity team, | K. Chambers, °11; H. Emerson, ’11; M. Hobart, 11, with a score of 6-3, and in 1912, K. Chambers, '11; B. Ehlers, ‘09; E. Kirkbride, ’96, and G. Biddle, '09, de- feated E. Hurd, '12, Captain; A. M. Tay- lor; "18; I.- Vincent, '12:: H. Stix, *14;: C. Hewitt, °15. The fencers among the undergraduates elected E. Rapallo to manage the team. | Practice for this team will be held in the) gymnasium on Tuesday night at quarter before nine. ‘ GREEK GAMES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA On April 22d the University of Cali- fornia will hold genuine Greek games. They will be given in a way as much like that of the ancient games as possible. The contestants are to be attired in Gre- cian costume, and the judges will wear the robes of Achaean noblemen. The Greek rules and order of events will be observed The prize will bea laurel wreath. WHAT D’YE MEAN, THE MONGOOSE DYED? The Freshman Show a Success CAST i J. Hemenway acc heck cen es V.

Pearson Congratulations to 1918 and welcome to their class animal! The Mongoose was very active even after dyeing. The orig- inality and artisticness of the posters an- nouncing the Freshman Show were ri- valled by the show itself. Such an excel- lent production is possible only with great attention to detail, indefatigable work and the co-operation of the whole class. It is especially difficult to get a Freshman class to work together and to fit the dif- ferent members into the right positions. On this score as well as on the success of her stage managing much credit is due C. Dodge. The first act at Bryn Mawr is, of course, not new; in fact, it is extremely trite, but it was saved by the original execution, by the hockey chorus especially. The second and third acts were the really original parts of the performance. It’s a long jump from Bryn Mawr to Egypt and takes inventive genius. This was furnished in great part by V. Pome- roy, who designed the scenery of the sec- ond act, the inside of a Pyramid looking out on the Nile, and to Mary Senior, chair- man of the committee on scenery. It |.was the chef d’ceevre of the evening. The accuracy of the hieroglyphics on the wall and the mummy cases, together with the excellent posing of the frieze, and the scarab on its altar, created immediately an ancient Egyptian atmosphere. The audience marveled at the composure of M. Scott, the scarab, in maintaining so difficult a position throughout the act, in which she sang admirably several times. The mummies suddenly hopping out of their cases startled the audience into shouts of laughter. The next feature, the College in 2000 B:C., was fine, especially (Continued on Page 3) | while it MISS KING’S SPEECH IN CHAPEL On the Annual Exhibition of the Philadel- phia Academy of Fine Arts The Exhibition has been running long enough now for most of you to have seen it and all of you to have heard about it. The general opinion seems to be that might have been very much worse, yet it might have been a good deal better. My own impression, the first - time that I saw it, was confirmed when i went back to study the pictures, that while the general level of work is fair and very little comes lagging as far as the ideals of 1840 on the Hudson River, which appear every year in the Academy in New York, yet none of the great splen- did stirring things which ft remember hav- ing seen at the Philadelphia Academy (not in my childhood, for everything seems stirring then, but not so many years ago), are in this Exhibition. Just to. confirm my own impression of what might be the reason for this, I went to New York and walked through Fifth Avenue, stopping at the picture dealers’ shops, for it is they who can tell what pictures will be successful. A great So- cialist lately said that no great and good thing was ever brought to pass except on commercial grounds. Things get done not because they are right, but be- cause they are needed. The picture dealers can tell you which way the stream is going to run. And after I had sat down in the Metropolitan Museum at the top of Fifth Avenue, foot-sore and weary, I knew the reason there was nothing more surprising and more per- sonal in the Academy was because the artists knew that doing that kind of thing would insure them immediate rejection by the Hanging Committee. I am going to speak this morning about the pictures that strike you first, then I am going on with the new names. When- ever I go to an exhibition, I try to bring away with me one or two names that | have not ‘heard of before. They may not be entirely new, but at least I have not heard of them. For the next time I shall leave the question of the prizes and why they were given and why they should or should not have been given and also say something about the portrait and land scape painting in a more general way. The first thing one sees is the beaut! ful decoration by Henry McCarter. _ It #) Centinued on Page 2 Tab.

Office Hours: Daily, 2-3 Christian Association Library Subscriptions may begin at any time Subscription $1.50 Mailing Price $2.00 Entered as second-class matter September 26, 1914, at the “Dost office at Bryn Mawr, fa under the Act of Mareh 3, 1870 To come through four years of college and still to be completely in the dark as to what one’s proper “job” may be seems incredibly stupid. Yet how many Seniors are still at a loss as to what sort of work to take up next year! How many apply to teachers’ agencies not because of any liking or aptitude, but merely because there seems nothing else to do. Shut up for four years with only college inter- ests and college experiences, it is no wonder that a student, unless exception- ally gifted, has no very clear idea of what sort of things there are to do out in the world, which of them she is fitted to do, or even which she would like to do. Yet after these years of liberal edu- | cation it is generally necessary to know | where to begin work or specialized train- | ing. Quite apart from psychological | clinics or the vocational bureaus of | Miinsterburg discussed in our psychology | classes, college should certainly give a. student some sense of direction, some inkling of the opportunities before her. At Barnard the Freshmen are offered an “Introductory Course in Sciences.” This consists of a _ series of lectures out- lining briefly the important features of the scientific studies. One month is devoted to physics, one to _ bio- logy, etc. The student before she commits herself for her whole college course, has, therefore, a chance to find out that-biology deals with amoeba and rabbits, while for physics, one must have a clear head and an interest in siphons and wave motions. Why could not this scheme be transferred to the vocational field? Why not an “Introductory Course in Jobs”? A one- or two-hour course could give time to law, medicine, jour- nalism, business, library work, social work, teaching, etc. It might be given as a free elective counting in with the regu- lar fifteen hours of work, or it might be added as a special privilege for Seniors. Four to six lectures on any of the sub- jects could give one a very satisfactory idea of the type of work, the particular | qualities necessary for success, the ac- tual conditidns, the way to prepare, to) begin, the cliances of advancement, spe- cial opportunities. If nearby lawyers or doctors could not be obtained to give the lectures, it seems to us it would be pos- sible to secure some one whose business | it might be to find out definite and full details of the openings for women. This | would be in line with the new profession of Vocational Guide, which has been created by many of the city public! schools. Bryn Mawr has in the past, of course, chiefly encouraged its students to | teach. But the overcrowding of the | teaching ranks, and the fact that women are more and more entering other pro-| fessions, must be considered. The col- lege should also seek to extend the in- fluence of its students in those other ac- tivities in which women are becoming more and more effective. “We believe that 1908 started the tradi- tion of the necessity of having the class_ animal of the same hue as the class ban- ner. The Freshmen certainly managed to break and to remake the tradition in a highly diverting and original manner. On them with being “dyed dark blue,” and so, when “of a different shade was their animal made,” they promptly and effect- ively pressed the dye vat into service. We wonder if this will start a tradition of futurist class animals, and a vision of red frogs, blue tigers, green mice, light blue élephants rises before us. In spite of Kipling’s story of the heroic Rikki- tikki-tavi, the mongoose has not hitherto been looked on as a popular household pet, nor is it even well known to history. Speculations were rife on Saturday night as to the real nature of the beast. Was it a bird, a species of wild cat, or a myth? For the benefit of our readers we print from Oliver Herford’s ‘“Child’s Primer of Natural History” the following tribute to) the mongoose: THE MONGOOSE This, children, is the famed Mongoose, He has an appetite abstruse. Strange to relate, this creature takes A curious joy in eating snakes— All kinds—though, it must be confessed, He likes the poisonous ones the best.

SPEAKS ON NIETZSCHE BEFORE THE The lecturer gave a very interesting ac- count of Nietzsche’s doctrine, of its sup- posed relation to the present war, and of phy. He did not think that Nietzsche, or any writer, could be made responsible for the war,.or for Germany’s part ‘in. it. There was indeed a group of writers in Germany who in recent times had formu- lated a warlike philosophy. Nietzsche was one of these. Treitschke and Nietzsche had had a low opinion of each other, and had not co-operated. On the other hand, Bernhardi’s well-known book bore on its title page as a motto |Nietzsche’s words: “War and” courage 'have done more great things than char- ity.” This was significant of Nietzsche’s influence. But these writers had in this |matter expressed a general undercurrent ‘of feeling in Germany. The ideas ex- | pressed by them had moreover been gen- erally acted on by all countries in inter- inational affairs in the past. e notable ‘thing was that the soto ruthless aggression, though it might have been | practiced by other countries, was in Ger- | |many plainly stated by some writers as a | | philosophic principle. Nietzsche’s teaching, tinuation of evolutionism. This idea had been applied by English writers. English had stopped short when they! ‘came to the problem of morals. They | found in nature evidences of strife and | struggle; but they held that in morals the | ‘processes of nature were being reversed by the action of altruistic impulses. The | | moral world was tending towards a state of frictionless peace and adjustment. It would end in undisturbed industrialism.

Fie upon such a cattleyard of a planet!” The lecturer thought, with James, that the central essence of this feeling was a: valuable part of man’s na- ture. Professor Bakewell said there could be no question of accepting the Nietzschean creed in its totality. But Nietzsche had disturbed many who were “woefully at ease in Zion.” He was at least a counter- poison to sentimentalism. Taken in large doses he might be fatal, but in smaller doses he was an incomparable tonic. Nietzsche was a prophet of the heroic and valorous life, and as such his influ- ence would continue both in and outside |Germany. Donald W. Fisher.

MISS ANNE WIGGIN TO TALK ABOUT 244 SPRING STREET On Sunday, Miss Anne Wiggin 1s go- ing to speak at Vespers on the work of the Neighborhood House at Spring | Street. Miss Wiggin, who is a graduate of Smith College, started her work with Mr.-Bates-about five years ago,.and-since Mr Bates’ death has been the mainstay of the house. Every one who has stayed at, Spring Street, or at the ‘“Bates’ Camp,” has seen Miss Wiggin’s wonder- ful power of managing people. They will remember her tactful dealing with deli- cate situations, as for example when every visitor at the camp insists on hav- ing the best front bedroom, and her cheerful, humorous way of keeping every one’s best side on top, even when they have to do “what they ain’t accustomed to,” and will welcome another chance of hearing her talk on the work she does so well. Those who do not know Spring Street and its charms should not miss |this opportunity of making its acquaint- gnce, NEW BOOK ON PHILADELPHIA One of the recent additions to the New Pook Room is Elizabeth Robin Pennell’s “Our Philadelphia.” “It is the story of the old Philadelphia that has passed and the new Philadelphia that-is passing, a record that in a few years will be impos- sible to make, so continually is Philadel- nhia changing.”. The hundred and five iiustrations by her husband, Joseph Pen- nell, are as charming as Mrs. Pennell's éescriptions. Many of them picture quaint, out of the way spots little known to us for whom Philadelphia means the noise and confusion of Chestnut and Mar- ket Streets. The book is written as Mrs.. Pennell herself says, “simply for the pleasure of gathering together every old memory of a town” dear to her as her native place, “and every new impression of it after an absence of a quarter. of a century.” n : o. _THE COLLEGE NE XE CHRISTIAN — The Morning Watch. oe ae Monday; Rom. 9—The sovereignty of God.

The Annual Week-end Conference of the Christian Association is to be held this week. Especially good speakers have been secured, as all those who have heard Miss Wiggins, Mr. Moldenhauer, and Mr. Ross can testify. Dr. Molden- hauer was one of the finest speakers at the Eaglesmere Conference. Special prayer meetings for every one are being held every day, including Sat- urday, this week, in the C. A. library, in connection with this conference. They are held at 8. 15 A. M. and take the place of the regular board prayer meetings: © Federation Committee.—Miss Rouse has very kindly lent us her journals on Austria- Hungary and Russia for the|M year. They have been -put on the Fed- eration desk in the C. A. library and any one who would be interested in the lives of the students of Austria-Hungary and Russia is advised to read them. They are to be sent back at Easter time. The journals throw a strong light on the con- ditions in Southeastern Europe and Rus- sia which have made the war almost inevitable. At the next Wednesday evening meet- ing (March 17th) the two most interest- ing letters, Austria, No. 6, and Russia, No. 3, will be read. Some of the most /# MoM interesting letters are Austria, Nos. 2 and 3, and Russia, Nos. 9 and 10. Bible and Mission Study Classes.—Mrs. Branson’s class discusses the native practices in the different Oriental countries and the attitude of the people towards the medical work among them. The superstitious treatments were often horrible; for instance, they burn out wounds which they have filled with dirty sticks and cones. They use plasters for all ills, frequently making soup out of them. The optimistic friends of the pa- tients confidently expect the missionaries to take off limbs, mend them and fasten them securely in place again. The class for the study of the Prophets, led by Helen Taft, in three successive Amos, Hosea, and Micah. They have com- pared the conceptions which each of these Prophets had—of Jehovah, of sin, of pun- ishment, and of the future history of Israel. For example, Amos preached of the justice of God, Hosea of His love, and Micah of His power. Topics for March 17th Wednesdays has taken up the study of H. Taft—‘Isaiah.” A. Grabau—“The Miracles of Christ.” E. B. Kirk—“Sin and the World.” _ Mrs. Branson—‘“Preventive Medicine.” Ryu Sato—“Japanese Religions.” COMPETITION FIRE DRILLS With a Prize for the Best Hall In order to make people take more in- terest in fire drills, it was decided at the beginning of the year to have competitive fire drills between the different halls. At any time now, the judges, Mr. Tom Foley, Miss Watson, and I. Zeckwer may come into the hall and turn on the fire alarm, all unknown to the hall cap- tain. The drill will be judged for quick- ness, quietness, and general effectiveness. The money, which has been collected as fines for various infringements, will be used to buy, as a prize, electric fash! i M. G. BRANSON, Rockefeller Hall lights for the best hall. FRESHMEN VICTORY ‘ ‘Thursday ‘night saw another hard- ‘fought water polo game between the Sophothores and Freshmen, the latter coming off victorious. Although several of her best people did not play, 1917 put up a very good game. She was, how- ever, unable to withstand the fierce on- slaught of the Freshmen. P. Turle, '18, distinguished herself by making three goals, and A. Alexander, '18, made an- other one of her famous shots from the center of the pool. The final score was 5-0 in 1918’s favor.

TIED FOR THE THIRD TIME The 1917 and 1918 water-polo teams persist in keeping everyone in suspense by continuing to play tie games. The game Monday night was particularly thrilling because 1917 made two goals during the first half, then in the begin- ning of the second half 1918 scored two. The defense on both teams played better games than the forwards, A. Davis, 1917, keeping out some very difficult balls.
