The game was a contest be- tween the defenses, and a good forward line would have clinched the result for either team. Through the greater part of the first half Varsity maintained the defensive, but the forwards made poor use of the chance to score. The wings at- tempted long runs when the speed of their opponents called for sharp passing. The passing of the whole line was slow and the shooting fatally inaccurate. The result was that Philadelphia, with far fewer opportunities, shot the same num- ber of goals and the half ended with a tie score—Varsity 2, Philadelphia 2. In the second half the weakness of the Var- sity line told on the strength of the half- backs. They were unable to recover all mistakes and the ball soon went to Phila- delphia. S. Hood shot the winning goal. There was no more scoring and neither team was able to keep on the offensive. Philadelphia’s defense consisted in send- ing the ball out at the side instead of | down the field and the resulting | dragged out the game. The game ended: Philadelphia 3, Varsity 2.

Robinson SINGING EXCELLENT ON Sere NIGHT Lantern Night was particularly impres- sive this year because of the fine weather and because of the good singing of the Sophomores and Freshmen. The Fresh- men especially are to be congratulated on their success in accomplishing the diffi- cult task of keeping time and pitch the same along the whole of their unusually long line. 1918’s singing of Pallas Athene, led by C. Eastwick and M. Mackenzie, was remarkably sure, Translation of Pallas Athene £ “Pallas Athene, thea”, the song which the Sophomores have sung on Lantern Night since 1901, is the Class Song of 1893. The words were written by Made- line Vaughan Abbott and by Bertha Haven Putnam. They have been trans- lated as follows: Pallas Athene, goddess, Thou maiden wise and mighty, We come to thee, Athene, Imploring thee to hearken. Oh, hearken! We pray thee smile upon us, Impart to us thy wisdom, Abide with us forever, Thou blessed goddess, hearken. Oh, hearken! O set our torches burning, And turn thy beams upon us, Thy light upon our pathway, Kindle the night to brightness. Oh, hearken! ABBREVIATED GOWNS The Freshman gowns distributed om Thursday were found to be from two to | six inches too short... The gowns should be six inches from the ground. Some were’ exchanged, some were altered, but many had to be sent back. As a result of this mistake many of the Freshmen have not yet gowns and had to borrow them for Lantern Night. Cc. A. BUDGET APPROVED The Christian Association approved of the budget suggested by the board in a meeting on November ist. According to this budget, which appeared in “The News” last week, fourteen hundred dol- lars is to be raised by pledges. Each item was voted on separately, but there was little discussion. The money to be sent to Mr. Tonomura will pay the last of the pledge of a thousand dollars made in 1910. The budget stands, in the main, as | last year. expenses of three delegates instead df two as last year.

The ‘high-lights’, which were the quest of a past Daily Themes class; the mutterings of the ‘Vox Populi’; local satire—any- thing which has claimed the literary at- tention of ‘Tip’s’ writers has a place in the new department”. “Impressions” in this issue contains a letter on the subject of debating, as a “vanishing art’, and an account of Pa- rade Night entitled, “The Spirit of War’. 1917 WINS TENNIS DOUBLES 1917 and 1918 played off the final ten- nis doubles on Thursday. 1917 won all three matches. The playing was not as close as might be expected in finals. 1918 did good individual playing, but its team- work did not come up to that of 1917. The scores were: Thom son, C. Stevens vs. L.

As a preliminary to the abolition of fraterni- . ties it was decided two years ago that they could take in no new members for a period of three years. It is stated that there are now few opportunities for friendship and that some social unit must be substituted for the secret society. “Contrary to the expectation of the fac- ulty,” says Dean Gildersleeve, “no new or- ganizations have grown up to take the place of the fraternities; nor has there been any noticeable increase of interest in the departmental clubs and other ex- isting organiaztions. The omission of the fraternities has brought a blessed relief from the agitation of ‘rushing’ and ‘pledge day’ and from some undesirable forms of gossip. “On the other hand, the lack of some such social organization makes close ac- quaintance between the students of dif- ferent classes less frequent and results in fewer opportunities for informal so- cial intercourse and congenial friendship. The administrative office admits that there is also noticeable some lack of that beneficial influence of older students on younger.” The organization, she decides, which is to take the place of the fraternities must be a natural outgrowth of the student body and not artificially fostered by the office.

Thus we see the effect of fashion on everything. Even the formerly digni- fied academic gown has become tinged with the spirit of the smock. Each year will bring new changes. There will. be hobble gowns and hoop-gowns, empire gowns and princesse gowns. Future gen- erations may find this a relief from mo- notony. For us old conservatives it is, to say the least, a shock. To most of us it is a surprise that Dean Gildersleeve of Barnard should mention in her annual report any ill effects result- ing from the abolition of secret societies. In the close intimacy of dormitory life we do not realize what an important place such organizations may fill, and the idea of the exclusiveness which necessarily ac- companies fraternities is repugnant to us. Yet in a college like Barnard, where a majority of the student-body is non- resident it is easily conceivable that ‘‘the lack of some such social organization makes close acquaintance between stu- dents. of different classes less frequent and results in fewer opportunities for in- formal social intercourse and congenial friendship”. We feel that Barnard would take a long backward step in reéstablish- ing any system of secret societies, yet we watch with interest to see how the prob- lem of their substitutes may be solved. Perhaps the new Students’ Building, which is soon to be begun, will aid in the solution through furnishing a place of work and recreation for the College as a whole. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR (The editors do not hold themselves responsible for opinions expressed in this column) Processional at Chapel To the Editor of “The News”: “Ah Invitation to the Students To the Editor of “The College News”: | Please give me the opportunity of in-| viting any Bryn Mawr students who may care to do so to walk round my garden at any time, on path or grass, uphill or down, whether I am there to give a per- sonal invitation or not.

Class Spirit Run Riot To the Editor of “The College News”: “Class spirit” is venting itself this year in contests in enthusiasm. Not content with rivaling each other in athletics, the different classes are bent now on outyell- ing each other. Clapping, too, has be- come a serious business; proficiency in it demands training just as skill in dribbling does. One must also cultivate an expres- sion of ecstasy to be assumed while one’s sister class sings its Junior Song. For, on the intensity of this ecstasy and on the loudness of the subsequent applause de- pends the standing of the spirit of the class. At least so the classes seem to think, or rather, they seem to have jumped to such a conclusion. For, waiv- ing the question as to whether enthusi- asm is a valid test of class spirit, can any one really believe that this sort of thing is enthusiasm? Enthusiasm must be spontaneous. It is a vivid feeling and must often, especially when shared by a crowd, have a lively outlet. There is no objection to this. The noisy kind of en- thusiasm aroused by a close water-polo game is the finest thing in the world. That is because it is genuine. It is real enthusiasm. Organized uproar is not. Deafened. Red Cross Committee To the Editor of “The College News”: There is. hardly any need of putting before the College the hideous want of all the countries struggling in Europe— Poland devastated by two hostile armies, Belgium in greater need than ever as money and supplies from this country de- crease, and, far above all, the sufferings | of the Armenians. Those who have not been murdered bythe Turks are starving and in exile, and the most fortunate of them, penniless and homeless, have been transported to Egypt with some hope of being allowed to exist if only money enough and supplies enough can be got- ten for them. The need is stupendous. We all realize that. But what we do not realize is that every little effort on our part is needed, no matter how little we may be able to do. The Red Cross Com- mittee begs the students to come to the Red Cross Shop on Tuesday evenings. Come and roll bandages with your best friend. Come and fold dressings. Come if you are curious.

The 127 South 13th Stree Just above Walnut which she had done among the students change was a great surprise to most of ' ; t Philadelphia eorammoninonniocscsinianatrae of Geneva last year and particularly of the effect of the war on the life of the students. The “Foyer’ in Geneva Miss Davis described as a sort of club which gives the students their only opportunity to meet one another outside of classes, bringing them together to study the Bible. ‘She told of the relief work that has been begun on account of the hardships which the war has caused. The members of the faculty and the citizens, she said, of Geneva are helping in the work. The “Foyer” organized classes in dressmaking, which made clothes for needy students and sewed for the Red Cross. It also served free suppers and arranged for large Sunday evening meetings at which the discussions often became so heated that the students jumped on chairs to make themselves heard. Miss Davis her- self led a Bible class in which the gospel of St. Luke was studied simply as an au- tobiography; this study, however, con- verted one girl, a Russian Jewess, to Christianity. Miss Davis then told of the conference held in the spring at which letters were read from soldiers in every army, who all Said that it was killing them morally to fight, that they could not reconcile duty to God and to their country, but that they kept on fighting because they would not be traitors. At this meeting representa- tives of all denominations and beliefs, even of the Koptic church in Egypt, came out publicly for Christianity. BISHOP KINSOLVING TO SPEAK AT BRYN MAWR Bishop Kinsolving, who is to speak here on Wednesday, November 10th, is the founder of the first Episcopal mission in Brazil and the pioneer missionary to the Latin American countries. It would be hard to estimate the amount of good that he has done. It is said that when he speaks in Brazil he is greeted by crowds of eager listeners. Nor is this prophet without honor in his-own-country._He is one of the most popular speakers in Eng- land and has been most successful in his recent work in this country. His work is claiming the attention of all the wide- awake people of the world. His address is sure to be of profit to all those inter- ested in mission work. He will speak in Room F, Taylor Hall, at 7.30 p. m. Bible and Mission Study Committee. ALUMNA NOTES the students, as they did not see or hear the coristruction. The new office is cut off from the rest of the room by a stained woodwork partition reaching almost to the ceiling and is reached by a door from the hall and one from the magazine room.

At least one course in every de- partment is open to all underclassmen, so that they may choose a major subject. As upperclassmen they must continue the subject they have chosen, as their major, - combining with it a year of a subject as their minor. In addition, a “distributive” course is required totally different from the subjects chosen as majors. There cannot be as much specialization at Smith as at Bryn Mawr since more sub- jects are required, but the changes make the Smith arrangement come under the group system. : CAMPUS NOTES “Necessary Ethical and Religious Prin- ciples for the Reconstruction of English Society After the War”, will be the sub- ject of Dr. Henry Hodgkin’s sermon on Sunday.

FIRE GONG DISTURBS FACULTY RE- CEPTION : Short Circuit Causes Excitement Considerable excitement was caused at the faculty reception to the graduate students, held in Denbigh on _ Sat- urday night, by the ringing of the fire gong. The guests were hesitating whether to leave the building or to await further developments, when students be- gan to assemble with dripping towels. The first lieutenant, however, who was taking the place of the fire captain, an- nounced that it was a false alarm and the reception continued, although conver- sation was rendered difficult by the un- interrupted ringing of the gong. A me- chanic summoned from the power house to stop the ringing said that the cause of the alarm was a short circuit.

HARVARD VOTERS TRIED Thirty undergraduates of Harvard have been summoned before the jury because of their voting as “self-supporting”.
