DEAN REILLY RESIGNS

 

Dr. Schenck, '07, to Take Her Place

 

President Thomas spoke in Chapel on
February 22nd on Dean Reilly’s resigna-
tion, which is to go into effect this spring,
and the appointment of Dr. Schenck in
her place. She said in part:

“IT asked you to come together to-day
because of an announcement, which I
make with the very greatest regret, a re-

every student in the College. Dean Reilly
has decided that she does not care enough
for executive work to wish to continue
permanently tos perform the duties of
Dean of Bryn Mawr College and has
asked that her resignation be accepted, to
take effect at the end of this College year.
The Directors have acted on Miss Reilly’s
request with sincere reluctance. In 1913
Dean Reilly told me that she had reached
this decision, but as I was in great per-
sonal trouble at that time she generously
consented to delay her resignation.
Throughout these three years I have been
hoping that she would change her mind.
I am sure it is unnecessary for me to tell
you hew faithfully and how suctessfully
Dean Reilly has carried on the work of
her office. During her eight years as
Dean she has also interested herself in
various great causes outside the College,

 

 

such as secondary education, woman suf-
| frage, the effective organization of the
| College women of the United States, etc.,
and has worked on many important com-
|mittees. She has spoken at many pre-

gret which, I am sure, will be shared by |.

On Monday evening, February 2\1st, the

in Pembroke West sitting-room, to dis-

The news that Dean Reilly had resigned
coniés as a complete surprise to the un-
dergraduates and the truth of it is hard
for them to realize. She was the first
person with whom we came in contact on
entering College. All through Freshman
year we learned to appreciate more and
more Miss Reilly’s ability to solve diffi-
culties. Her sympathy and interest were
as ready for the meritless as for the meri-
torious. But not only did Miss Reilly
make her influence felt inside the College.
Outside, and especially at other colleges,
she represented the ideals of Bryn Mawr.
The alumna, the undergraduates, and all
who ever came into contact with her, will
feel that they have lost through her resig-
nation a valuable adviser.

 

 

It is too bad that the clubs, of which
we have so many here at Bryn Mawr, can-
not be more loyally supported and more
influential. We have French, German,
English, Philosophy, History, and Science
clubs, most of which have a membership
list of from 20 to 30 members and whose
meetings are considered well attended if
half that number are present, at the
Philosophy Club meeting, Monday night.
Suchanguid-attendance certainly shows
that the clubs in their present form are
dead organizations; if they were of vital
importance they would be better sup-
ported. If they are out of date and use-
less, why not give them up? No organi-
zation made up of individuals can do any-
thing without the co-operation of each in-
dividual. But if the clubs are essential
to our pursuit of knowledge, let there be
keener interest and more loyal support.

For the past few weeks the swimming
pool has been the focus of all our interest.
With two hundred and eighty-three au-
thorized swimmers in College, there was
plenty of enthusiasm and competition for
the meets, and water-polo has found
large number of recruits.
that, when in 1905 swimming became an
Athletic Association sport, only one hun.- |
dred and twelve students in College were

authorized swimmers, there seems much |
reason to be proud of the progress made |

since then.

A great event in the history of the
swimming was the starting of water-polo
in 1906. This was the result of President
Thomas's visit to England, where she saw
the game played and found it sufficiently
good to wish to introduce it at Bryn
Mawr. Numerals were awarded for the
first time in 1907, Last year water-polo

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

 
 

in this column) —
"Wanted! Skating!

  

Where is the fine skating that was
promised us last year when we raised the
money for the new hockey field?

That is merely a rhetorical question as
I am quite sure the editor knows no more
about it than I do. But I think that an
explanation is owing to the College in
general. We worked hard last year and
gave our money gladly that future gener-
ations of hockey players and skaters
might benefit thereby, but some of us
thought of the joys of really having good
skating when the weather permitted. It
seldom permits here as we all know, but
it seems to me that, knowing this, an
effort should be made to give us skating
during the very short season. So far, we
have had skating for three days this win-
ter—no more than that I am sure—yet it
has often been unusually cold. When we
did have skating, it was not on the pond
of the rosy vision called up last spring
by those getting money for the new
hockey field, but on the upper field
flooded in irregular layers by a sort of
sprinkling process.

Where, I ask again, is the good skating
we were to have this winter?

“MY OWN STORY”

“My Own Story”, now in the Corola Woer-

In 1879 she married Dr. Pankhurst and
with him her work for suffrage first be-
gan. Dr. Pankhurst was the man who
first drafted the bill for the enfranchise-
ment of women, the “Woman’s Disabili-
ties Removal Bill”, of 1870, and when he
was running as a Liberal candidate
for Parliament in 1885, Mrs. Pankhurst
did extensive canvassing for him. After
his death in 1898, she had to carry on his

MISS KING PRAISES BELLOWS

 

Shapel Talk on the Academy

 

On Wednesday, February 16th, Miss
Georgiana Goddard King spoke in Chapel
on the exhibition at the Philadelphia
Academy. Miss King mentioned first the
group of New York artists who worked on
the “Masses” and later on “Harper’s
Weekly”. Miss King said in part:

“The Philadelphia Exhibition, this year,
is well so called, for most of the best
work, the most advanced and living, is
offered by old instructors of the Academy,
who could not well be turned out. One
exception I must make—that of the
group of men who by virtue of living in
New York and knowing the slums are
supposed, somehow, to have a stronger

most successful man, I suppose, in the
country just now, the most happily suc-
cessful, Mr. George Bellows. His por-
trait, in which Dr. Thompson looks like a
Chinese sage, has reality and humour
both. His ‘Fisherman’s Family’ has color
that burns.” :

On the same high plane with the work
of Mr. Bellows, Miss King placed the two
canvases of Mr. Henry McCarter, “Ca-
lamity” and “In the Month of May”.
“Look at these canvases and understand
them”, said Miss King, “if you want to
know what modern painting is like, for
they are in the current of the best that is
thought and felt in the world at the pres-
ent time. There is also a real beauty of
color like that of Roman glass dug up
after two thousand years—though the
forms are as tenuous as the glass—in two
pictures by Mr. Daniel Garber, ‘Tanis’
and ‘Down the River, May’. The color
shivers”,

Miss King spoke next of what she
termed academic work of the better sort,
“work that lacks nothing except the salt
—except life itself’. “You have it’, she

you may put, for balance and harmony,

Three or four minor persons, each for |
the sake of some special excellence, Miss
King chose next. They were Ernest |
Lawson, for his irridescent color, in “The |
Gulls” and “Summer”; Elizabeth Spar- |
hawk Jones for her figure of “A Gar- |
dener”’; and also, “because he knows
what Greco did, and Watts, and Blake”, |
Kenneth Miller. | |
“I must end”, said Miss King, “on clear |
praise, and I have saved for that a pic- |
ture, very well hung, by Marie Danforth |
Page, called ‘Motherhood’, a woman with
a little new baby. The charm of that |
baby’s tiny black head only Swinburne
could praise or Victor Hugo, but I may
praise the beauty of the silhouette. It)
has distinction, very great distinction”.

FIRST TRIALS IN DIVING

 

_ Only One Makes First Class in All Diving

 

H. Spalding, '19, was the only one who
won first class in both plain and fancy
diving for the new point system in swim-
ming on Tuesday night, February 15th.
The contestants were allowed two trials
for each dive, then the average of the
best marks of the judges, Mr. Bishop, F.
Kellogg, '16, and M. Scattergood, ’17, were
taken. The three regular form dives,
standing, running, and dive from the ta-
ble, were required. In the fancy diving
the contestants were permitted to as
many dives as they wished. Two new
fancy dives have been added to the list
already printed in “The News”, front to
back and back to front, each counting 10
points. The results were:

Dive for Form

First Class—E. Lanier, '19; H. Spald-
ing, '19. c

Second Class—E. Hill, 16; F. Howell,
"19; M. L. Thurman, ’19; L. Peters, 19;

T. Haines, ’19.

Third Class—H. Riegel, '16; J. Peabody,
"19; A. Thorndike, '19.

Fancy Dive

First Class—L. Peters, '19; H. Spald-
ing, ‘19.

Second Class—T. Haines, 19.

MONSIEUR CONS ESCAPES MACHINE
GUN

 

Ninety Dollars in Response to Appeal

 

The following extracts are translated
from a letter dated January 30th, Paris,
written by Madame Cons to Miss Dimon.
Madame Cons says:

“Monsieur Cons had another very nar-
row escape the other day. A machine
gun fired on him for an hour and three-
quarters. He was flat on his face in the
mud, in his shirt sleeves in mid-January,
not able to crawl even to his capote,
which was near by. The bullets clipped
off the branches all around him and above
him, but he was not hurt and finally got
away under cover of the darkness. He
did not even catch cold!

“The Zeppelins were here last night.
We heard the bombs and the shooting,
but saw nothing as we went straight to
bed”’.

In response to her appeal, made
through the “Alumni Quarterly” and “The
College News”, Madame Cons has re-
ceived two packages of gloves and be-
tween $90 and $100 for stockings.

FIRE DESTROYS CORNELL BUILDING

 

The worst fire in the history of the
university destroyed the home of Cor-
nell’s Department of Chemistry this week.
Forced delays and lack of water pressure
resulted in a complete destruction of the
building which, although partly insured,
contained almost priceless research data.
Plans for a new structure on the old site
have already been made. Several other
universities have offered assistance, and
Lehigh has placed its department at the
disposal of the Cornell students, but the
university hopes to be able to accom-
modate them itself.

of them; for example, there are about
fifty women deans in the United States.
Among them there seems to Dean Reilly
and to me no one who will be so able to
carry on the traditions of Bryn Mawr,
which we like to believe are unique, as a
Bryn Mawr graduate, a product of Bryn
Mawr’s discipline. It is, therefore, with
much pleasure that I announce to you
that the choice of the Directors has fallen
on a member of our College faculty, who
is known to many of you—Eunice Morgan
Schenck, A.B. and Ph.D. of Bryn Mawr
College. After taking her bachelor’s de-
gree here Dr. Schenck went abroad for a
year and a half and then returned to the
College for graduate study. She won a
graduate scholarship, was awarded the
President’s European Fellowship, studied
two years in Paris, won the resident fel-
lowship in French, and after receiving her
doctor’s degree entered the faculty as As-
sociate in French Literature.

“The Directors thought that it was best
to make such an important appointment
early in the year so that the incoming
Dean of the College would have an op-
portunity to learn a little about the run-
ning of the Dean’s office from Dean
Reilly and to be better able to continue
its present admirable organization”’.

MUST SPEAK GOOD FRENCH

Critical Tests at French Club Tea

 

 

The French Club held their first regular
meeting Friday afternoon in room D in|
Taylor. The club, which had been wait: |
ing till Miss Schenk returned, to start |
its meetings, also gave a large tea in Miss
McCay’s room in Denbigh on Wednesday
afternoon, at which Miss Schenk decided
which members spoke French fluently
enough to attend the small fortnightly
teas. These small teas are solely for the
purpose of conversation and unless every-
one speaks good French they would not
be worth while. About twenty-five or
thirty people came to the large initiation
tea and from these the members will be
chosen.

 

DAY OF UNIVERSAL PRAYER TO BE |
OBSERVED

 

February 27th, the day appointed by |
the World’s Student Christian Federation
as the Day of. Universal Prayer, will be |
observed at Bryn Mawr as at other col- |
leges all over the world. A leaflet with |
prayers especially for this day can be|
found in the C. A. Library and L. Garfield |
will explain the significance of the day at |
Vespers. Some day has been observed |
‘once a year by students as a day of es- |
| pecial prayer ever since the founding of
the World’s Student Christian Federation. |
