Interest in splashing waves and scudding clouds may perhaps have lost one a few words of the captain one knew how he felt just then, and that mattered little. that the effect should be harmonious; and it was undoubtedly that. The singing was uniformly good. Choryses and principals were distinct and precise, and always beautifully modulated. And nothing than the distant singing from over the ‘water.

This sug- geste the great advantage of conferences and other means of considering the plans and methods of different colleges. Vassar was interested in various phases of Bryn Mawr Christian work and planned to copy the Sewing Committee in giving out sum- mer sewing. The Bryn Mawr Association in its turn hag put into effect some of the suggestions of the conference. The daily prayer meetings before the week-end con- ference were made more like those of Smith and a board Bible class has been % started like those in some of the other colleges. Other ideas may materialize later and because of the failures of other colleges, some useless experiments may be avoided. Certainly all the branches of college life do not fully avail themselves of the opportunities to learn from other colleges. Bryn Mawr can not be per- fected entirely from within; inspiration and ideas from without are essential. Outsiders who see the jam and push which occurs at the Gymnasium balcony door the night of a play may easily have their opinion of the undergraduates de- cidedly upset. For some time ahead, people begin to collect outside, all is or- derly till almost time for the doors to open. Then begins a herding toward the doors until there is scarcely breathing room for the poor unfortunates who are small and do not tower above the rest. The doors are opened (and, of course, for safety they open outwards), the crowd is pushed back. A wild stampede forward follows. Bach person thinks only of her- self, and of the coveted front seats, and in consequence cares little how she treats others. Those who have come late and are on the edges push and elbow their way in, using sheer brute force to gain a quick entrance. Perhaps some people may say this is fun, but to an outsider the spectacle does not speak well for the good breeding of the undergraduates. Although we could not manage to send an ambulance to the front, we feel that we are making a real sacrifice in giving up Miss Davis and Miss Hinckley for service as nurses in Paris. We are glad to be immediately connected with Red Cross work, and we hope soon to be able to publish letters about their life in the hospital, Yet glad as we are to ths Cite Newsl= GIFT MADE To. THE FICTION , LIBRARY | The Denbigh Fiction Library has re ceived a generous response to the appeal recently made in “The College News.” Mrs. Bancroft, 98, has presented a dozen books adding Galsworthy, Maeterlinck and Bennett to the collection. The readers of fiction are delighted at the additions and the librarian and committee are no less pleased at the interest shown in their work, It is to be hoped that Mrs. Bai- croft’s shining example will not fail to {excite emulation in the near future. GRADUATE CLUB PASSES RESOLU- TIONS IN REGARD TO MISS GARRETT’S DEATH Whereas, In the death of Mary Eliza- beth Garrett, Bryn Mawr College sustains the loss of a large-hearted benefactor, and the Graduate School the loss of a friend whose thought and aid have done much for the furtherance of graduate study among women; and Whereas, In the death of Mary Eliza- beth Garrett the advancement of women has lost one of its most loyal supporters, be it Resolved, That we, the members of the Graduate School of Bryn Mawr College, express to President Thomas, to the Board of Directors of Bryn Mawr College and to the members of Miss Garrett's family our appreciation for Miss Gar- rett’s great generosity in behalf of women and our common sense of loss, and be it Resolved, That a copy of these resolu- tions be presented to President Thomas, the Board of Directors of Bryn Mawr College, and to the members of Miss Gar- rett’s family, and be inserted among the records of the Graduate School. CORRESPONDENCE COLUMN The Edilors do not hold themselves responsible for the opinions expressed in this column. To the Editor of the College News: The growing dissatisfaction with the service at the tea-house which I have lately notice, has determined me to turn to--you-for some help in getting to the root of the trouble. I do not wish merely to complain of the many objec-: tionable features of the tea-house, but to arouse the attention of those who are interested in it and to have the matter definitely referred to the responsible authorities. It is a fact that the tea- house is the most convenient, in fact the only convenient and close “eating house” outside of the hall dining rooms. We-can go to no othér place in the com- fort of gym and hockey clothes. There is no other place in which we may freely lounge and sing and shout. Is it real- izing our dependence on it, that the au- thorities take advantage of us in making the prices unwarrantedly high and the service correspondingly bad? For ex- ample, last night, at 6.30, we arrived at the Inn; by 6.35 our order for two chicken sandwiches, two baked beans and two glasses of grape juice was in. One hour and twenty-five minutes we waited for our. order to be filled. When it did come, we found that we had to content our- selves with chicken-salad sandwiches and orangeade, as they were “just out of” chicken and grape juice. We had to call for spoons and napkins. The price of this meal was $.80. Why does such a orying state of things exist? Charging the very high prices they do, is there any excuse for furnishing such inefficient service? Are the kitchen accommada- tions too small; is there not sufficient help? I have often eaten at small res- tauraiits charging half as much as the tearhouse, where a substantial and edible meal is served with decency and speed. Here all is clatter and confusion. Where does the trouble lie? I ask not rhet- orically, but for information. And if it is beyond your powers of calculation to an- A. T. Totaler. | To the Editor of “The College News”: Can’t we have some arrangement about the hymns at vespers so that every one will know what stanzas are to be sung? At present we often have some people the effect is a mumbling. I should think if the leader would always state what ‘stanzas she desires to have sung, any such confusion could be avoided and the singing would be much more enjoyable. A Member of the C. A. To the Editor of the News: A poor student who has a history quiz coming the next week reserves an im- portant book for the day before the quiz. She tries to get the book at the time for which she reserved it, and finds that the original reserve slip has been lost and another substituted. Consequently she fails to finish her reading. me that the losing of the reserve slip is a. plece of inexcusable carelessness. Whether another student in the same class or the girl who keeps the reserve desk is responsible, it is an equally se- rious matter for the student who has signed on the lost slip. Pr: OR, aS: To the Editor of “The College News”: People are singularly inconsiderate in their behavior at College functions. When a strange, uncontrollable impulse comes over the happy group outside the gallery door to push—they push. When they see someone vainly trying to reach the doors to open them—they push harder. When the doors are opened at last, the mad shove bears along young and old with an irresistible force. The young and fragile maidens who would be willing to wait politely for others to go in are borne helplessly off their feet, nearly crushed in by the pressure on all sides, and finally left breathless and exhausted to pick out what seats they can. Can we not cultivate more considerate behavior at these gatherings atid banish this rude custom of shoving? Phiz. To the Editor of the “College News”: The writer of the anti-Sunday editorial in a recent issue of the ‘‘News” seems to have overlooked several facts which make her objection particularly inapt. It is assumed, a priori, that the editorial ex- presses the opinion of the whole editorial staff. Such being the case, those editors, who not long ago expressed approval and deep admiration of Mr. Sunday’s work, and delight at the prospect of his visit to the Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Chureh, and those, who with perfect readiness availed themselves of the “re- served seats” that have been such a disgrace to the College, stand now in a most peculiar position. There was no reason on the one hand for their ex- pressing an opinion which they have since shown themselves unwilling to support, nor on the other hand for their attending the meeting and occupying their reserved seats at that “emotional” revival of which they did not approve. However, the fact remains that they did both. In view of that fact there seems to be no adequate excuse for.the stand they have taken in the editorial column of the “News.” gy 2. FT. 6. To the Editor of “The College News”: Why do people sit on the outside seat in Chapel so that all the people coming in later have to climb over them? It would seem wiser if the front rows and outside seats were filled first. Also might it not be better if those who come to meetings in the Christian Association Library and elsewhere did not always sit with backs singing one stanza and some another and It seems to. WHO WAS FRANCOIS VILLON? It is interesting just now at quiz time to hear of a test of general information which was given at Cornell by a member of the Department of Romance Languages several months ago. In an examination, the questions “Who was Francois Vil- lon?” and “Who was Euripides?” were asked, although neither of thesd\mnen -had been discussed in the course. Out of a class of thirty, only two could identify either. Two weeks later the same questions were asked to see how much intellectual curiosity would have been shown. Only three more could answer. The question which suggests itself is, how would Bryn Mawr have stood the test? Here is a Bryn Mawr story that equals it. A Senior was heard saying to a friend: “Who was I. Socrates? I didn’t know the Greeks had Christian names.” ENGLISH IN OUR AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES Harvard has decided that some remedy must be found for the incorrect English used by the students in all their courses. A committee of professors formed to in- vestigate the subject says that this is the result of present-day muddled. thinking. The present plan is to have special coaching given to each student who is unable to write clear Hnglish. The faculty expects this to be the beginning of similar movements in other American colleges. “MEDIATION WITHOUT ARMISTICE” A pamphlet called “Mediation With- out Armistice” has been placed in the New Book Room. The article, which was sent by an alumna, was written by a member of the English department of the University of Wisconsin. Jane Ad- dams considered the pamphlet such a success that she requested the writer to read at The Hague. The alumna has furnished the following outline of the Wisconsin Peace Plan: “This: plan will undoubtedly be one of the foremost considered at The Hague conference of women. Its author is a college woman, a graduate student and instructor in English at the University of Wisconsin. This conference of women is such a remarkable thing in itself and may be so stupendous in its influence that none of us dare go about our work uninformed and unconcerned. The plan proposes a conference of the neutral nations to be called at once by the President. of the United States, without waiting for armistice,—the con- ference to be composed of experts who will draw up proposals as the basis for peace and submit them simultaneously to all the warring nations. The under- standing is that they are to be accepted simultaneously. Even if they are re- jected (a thing that we fully expect), the conference will meanwhile become known to the people of the belligerent countries, and its psychological effect will bring more and more pressure to bear on the: belligererit governments. This conference which will sit while the war continues, will receive any sugges- tions from the warring nations at any time and be ready to frame new propos- als to meet their demands. _ Such a plan seems perfectly natural and reasonable. If you wish to be con- vinced read it in full (it is not long, and. a valuable addition to English litera- ture). It gives a wonderfully clear in- sight into the terribly complex European situation. You exclaim impatiently after reading it, “Why didn’t somebody think of it before?” Well, mediation without armistice has never been. Men are accepting the idea readily—but it is a. woman who conceived it. : 4 nw \ . pp ye regen ha ee pee es _liryn Mawr is to be represented at the "17, and L. Smith, 18. The conference will be held on May 8th and 9th at Mount Ivy, New York. Representatives from most of the Eastern women’s colleges will discuss the problems of settlement work and eminent speakers will be there. CAMPUS NOTES Dean Reilly was the Bryn Mawr repre- sentative at the inauguration of the new President of North Carolina University on Wednesday, April 21st. The Rev. Henry Tweedy, who is to preach here next Sunday, is Professor of Practical Theology at Yale. It comes as a great disappointment to Bryn Mawr that the Rev. Hugh Black, D.D., has had to break his engagement to preach here on May 2nd. Dr. Black has been called to the front, and has already sailed. Rabbi Stephen Wise, of the New York Free Synagogue, has: been asked to preach instead of Dr. Black. This is the first time that the Christian Associa- tion has invited a Jewish Rabbi to con- duct the Sunday evening service. The Self-Government elections begin on April 26th.

Miss Woodberry, who has been tem- porarily acting as housekeeper of Rocke- feller Hall, has returned to the Misses Shipley’s School. Her place has been taken by Miss Elizabeth Kerr of New York. THE NEW BOOK ROOM Thomas H. Dickinson, of the Univers- ity of Wisconsin, in his “Chief Con- temporary Dramatists,” has collected a series of modern plays by twenty differ- ent. authors, which “as nearly as pos- sible represent the abiding achievements of the present dramatic era.” The vol- ume contains plays by Wilde, Pinero, Jones, Galsworthy, Barker, Yeats, Synge, Lady Gregory, Fitch, Moody, Thomas, MacKaye, and translations of Haupt- mann, Sudermann, Brieux, Hervieu, Mae- terlinck, ‘Bjornson, Strindberg, and Tchekhov. The editor omits Ibsen, Shaw, and Barrie from this interesting list as not included under his definition of “contemporary.” To the reader de- siring a further knowledge of these dra- matists the notes at the end of the book will be of great assistance. The student of Elizabethan literature will doubtless be interested in the pub- lication of “The Poems of Salusbury and ’ Chester,” by Dr. Carleton Brown, of this college. As Dr. Brown says, these poems “have in themselves no importance as literature, they throw additional light upon poems by Shakespeare and other great Blizabethans.” Those who have read with pleasure in current magazines the poems of Cale _~ Young Rice will be glad to know that the two lately published volumes containing all his poems and plays have been put in the New Book Room. To the literature on the war has been added the official report made by the Belgium government to President Wil- son concerning the violation of Belgium’s neutrality and the outrages committed by Germany during the invasion. It is well known that the President answered in a tone of friendly but non-committal sympathy; but as a trustworthy official. account of the “Case of Belgium” the re- port is still valuable and interesting. i ‘Demonateator te Phyolon-st Besa: Mawr, has received an | ‘piebbtenls tx teell Physics an eee on ae lege.

RULES FOR TENNIS Courts may be reserved by signing on the list, which is posted every day in Taylor. A court may be reserved for one hour. Two people must sign to reserve a court. A court may be held for ten minutes only. Student’s may not (1) Use the pro fessors’ court if professors come to play. (2) Nor play when men are at work on the courts; (3) Nor use the class courts when people come to practise for class teams. Each class has one court posted as re- served for team practice. ORALS MODIFIED AT HARVARD The Harvard student council has won the gratitude of the student body by per- suading the faculty to change the rules in regard to the oral examinations in modern languages. aminations have been held twice a year, and failure to pass before the end of sophomore year has placed the student on probation and withheld his degree. Now the student is to be permitted to take tutorial courses in the subject failed and to take a written examination in the course at the end of his sophomore year. The feeling of the undergraduate body is best expressed in the “Harvard Crimson”: “Indeed the orals are no longer oral. The general feeling among the undergraduates that these examina- tions are unfair tests will give way to the feeling that they are real benefits, not inquisitions conducted for the amuse- ment of the modern language depart- ments.” WOMAN'S LAW SCHOOL AT RAD- CLIFFE Since Harvard still refuses to admit women to her law courses, Radcliffe Seniors are urging the establishment at Radcliffe of a law school for women grad- uates ofsany college. .- EXCELLENT opportunity to learn to speak a refined North-German.

JACKET” COMES § TO BRYN MAWR On Saturday, May ist, at 8 “YELLOW . m,, the e “Yellow Jacket.” The performance will be given for the benefit of the Belgian Relief nagium. Reserved seat tickets, one dol- lar, may be obtained from Dean Maddi- son, Treasurer of the Play Committee. The “Yellow Jacket” is one of the most well known, of recent plays, running in New York for five months last year with crowded houses. The play is described as a Chinese drama, produced in the Chinese manner. It is the presentation rather than the story which is unique. All the details of a Chinese theatre are faithfully carried out from the imported costumes, rich with real oriental em- broidery, to the property man who, in the performance of his duties becomes intensely interesting to a western audi- ence. The mother, in dying, ascends a ladder to heaven, and by the simple de- vice of holding a cloth in front of the victim’s head an objectional character is easily beheaded right in front of you. Yet even the amusement and curiosity aroused by these, to us, odd bits of stage business, do not take away from the story itself, which we are told has an interest all its own. The Coburn Players have won distinc- tion as interpreters of classic drama. During the last ten years they have ap- peared under the auspices of almost every educational institution in Amer- ica. Every detail of their performances is most carefully worked out, “every scene is a delight of shade and color, and every costume true to character and period.” It is also interesting to note that the players pride themselves on their clearness of diction and that the actors are selected with this in view as well as for their acting ability.

SEMI-FINAL DEBATE NEXT WEDNES- DAY Teams Are Chosen The end of the debating season is near. Next Wednesday night the first semi-final will be held. The resolution is upon a subject of general interest and one which has been a general favorite this winter in intercollegiate debates. In fact, this evening Syracuse and Cornell will be de- bating it in Syracuse. It is: “Resolved, That. the United States shall increase her armament.” The Senior team is, Hatton, captain; M. Free, H.

Hough- and later working under Signor Tyrone; Miss Wesson, French style, learning first at Bryn Mawr and later being a pupil of Major Ranlet of Boston. The matches were good and much en- joyed by both the competitors and the audience.

Randolph Macon has an interesting system, for they have adopted a rather low standard in each event, and every inch or tenth of a second over this stan- dard is counted one point for each com- petitor. Each class can enter five for ‘every event. and is handicapped if there are not five that come up to the standard. It is thought that this gives more chance to the average competitor, while it does not diminish the honor of the individual star. JOHN J.
