E _ OF THE CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION History Outlined to C. A. Members How the Christian Association devel- oped from two small weekly meetings to its present active organization, was the subject of the meeting Saturday night, when Dr. Barton, Miss Applebee, E. Deems, ’10, H. Smith, 10, and L. Hough- teling, 11, spoke at the C. A. Birthday Celebration. Dr. Barton, calling himself “the oldest inhabitant,” began with an account of the religious life in College before any re- ligious organization existed, telling of a Friends’ meeting every Wednesday even- ing led by Dr. Rhoads, the first president of the College, ahd of meetings held on Sunday evenings in the Gymnasium, at which was discussed every subject of the slightest interest except religion. He then told how, in 1895, after the death of Dr. Rhoads, a group of students formed a Christian Union, although some thought it a mistake to organize anything so per- sonal as religion. The Union, said Dr. Barton, soon showed its importance in taking charge of the philanthropic work and the Bible classes and grew in defi- niteness of expression until 1903, when some of the members formed within the Union a “League for the Service of Christ”, composed of those who belonged to Evangelical churches and who felt that they needed the stimulus of something more decided than the simple broad Union basis. Will You, Won’t You, Join the League? Miss Deems, taking up the history from 1903, told of the introduction of the Freshmen to the two associations. The choice between the two she described as hard for her as she was in sympathy with the work of both the Union and the League, but she soon found that it was impossible to work for both and resigned from the Union. She then outlined the situation when she was in College; the Union had charge of the classes for the maids and lab boys, Miss Tsuda, Bible and Mission Study classes and the Sun- day evening meeting in the gymnasium; the League supported Mr. Tonomura, ar- ranged for the Silver Bay delegation, had a Student Volunteer Band, and Vespers on Sunday; both had classes in town, and finally most of the philanthropic Though some of the work duplicated, she explained, the feeling was so strained that the College was shocked when 1910 dared to allude to the antagonism in their Freshman Show, “Alice in Bryn Mawr’, in the duet between the Lion and the Unicorn, “Will you, won’t you; will you, won’t you; will you, won't you, join the League—the Union”? The Associations Join The joining of the two Associations in 1910 was described by Miss Smith, who was on the committee that united them. “It all began with Miss Applebee”, she said. “She had the hope of welding the two and asked the boards to meet with her in her office. It was a strange meet- ing, the two boards lined up on opposite sides of the room and-glared at each other. Their glares soon turned to looks of watchful interest, however, as the plan was explained”. After weeks of work with President Thomas, Dr. Barton and Dr. Ross, Miss Smith said these plans were worked out and a basis for an Asso- (Continued on Page 3) work was done by a joint committee. |' Author of Play Given by Sophomores Mr. Laurence Housman, who will speak next Saturday, March 18th, in Taylor, on | “The Moral and Immoral Influences of Modern Drama”, is best known to Bryn Mawr students as the author of the “Chi- nese Lantern”, the play given by the Sophomores last fall. Mr. Housman, whose brother is A. E. Housman, the author of “The Shropshire Lad”, is well known in England as an il- lustrator in the Pre-Raphaelite manner and as the author of plays, novels and poems. “The Chinese Lantern”, and “Prunella”, which he wrote with Gran- ville Barker, are among the most popular of his works. His Nativity play, ‘“Bethle- hem”, is an adaptation from the old time Miracle plays. When it was to be per- formed in London in 1902, it was refused a theatre license but was finally played in a hall, where it drew large crowds. He is also interested in folk lore and has written a book of fairy tales, called “Weird Tales from the North Sea”. In an article, “Petticoat Government”, in the Contemporary Review for November, 1913, Mr. Housman expresses his sympa- thy with the cause of suffrage. CHAPERON RULES BROADENED RESULTS OF SELF-GOV MEETING To the tune of “Just one more, only just one more”, a quorum was finally ob- tained at the Self-Government meeting, Monday night, and several of the chap- eron rules were then placed on a broader basis. It was decided that with a brother of eighteen years or over, when no other man is present, a student may go to a dance, to dine, or to places of entertainment unchaperoned. It was also decided that a student visiting in a house where there is not more than one other Bryn Mawr student shall be under the chaperon rules of her hostess even if they should con- flict with the chaperon rules of Self-Gov- ernment. To. visit a person, however, with the direct intention of breaking Self- Government was felt to be definitely against the spirit of the association. An amendment, to the effect that on Lantern night men may come into the studies un- til ten o’clock was also passed. In order to have Sophomore classes represented on the Advisory Board it was voted that the Treasurer of the Associa- tion be also a member of the Board, since the Treasurer is always a Sophomore. >. 80 PER CENT PASS THIRD FRENCH ORAL Out of the fifteen Seniors who took the third French oral last Saturday twelve passed and three failed; that is, 80 per cent passed and 20 per cent failed. There were no merits. Of the three who failed, one has already passed German and the other two, may pass it on Saturday. If they do, no one in the class will have to take both of the fourth orals. HUMORISTS GET BUSY The Palace Players Film Corporation of New York will pay for synopses of comic situations from which motion pic- tures may be made. The synopses need not be in the form of scenarios and the market for them is open permanently. MASEFIELD PRIZE PERMANENT ‘Faculty Committee to Sift Material fered for the best play or short story and for the best poem are to be permanent and will be awarded every year. Mr. Masefield has been called back to France earlier than he expected and has been obligéd to cut.short all sorts of engage- ments in this country. For this reason he has not yet. set a date for his second visit to Bryn Mawr, but it will undoubt- edly be some time this month. The faculty committee chosen to select the best of the contestants’ material for Mr. Masefield to judge is: Professor G. G. King, chairman; Professor Rhys Car- penter, and Dr. Samuel Chew. The con- test closed on Friday, March 10th. CLOSE COMPETITION FOR VARSITY GOAL AND FULLBACK Prepare for Alumnz Water Polo Game Three Varsity water-polo practices were held last week in anticipation of the Alumnz game which will probably take place next Saturday afternoon. ‘These first practices were not satisfactory as the passing was not good and there was too much splashing. The team has not been chosen. ' There is close competition for goal and fullback and the forward line is weak and needs working up. Two more practices will be held before the game. NATIONALITY NOT BASIS OF RECONSTRUCTION “After the War”, by Mr.-S.-K. Ratcliffe “However Europe will be settled after the war, it will not be settled on lines of nationality”, said Mr. Samuel K. Ratcliffe in a lecture entitled “After the War: Set- tlement and Reconstruction”, Monday aft- ernoon in Taylor. Mr. Ratcliffe is Secre- tary of the Sociological Society in Eng- land, is editor of the Sociological Review of the “Echo”, and for three years was editor of “The Statesman” in Calcutta; he is also lecturer under the London Uni- versity Extension Board. In summing up the sentiments with which England entered the war, Mr. Rat- 'cliffe said “We went into the war with 'the determination to make the most out of it. This is a war for the liberation of peoples, for freedom and democracy, and for the overthrow of the military domina- tion of Europe. “Europe will not be settled along the lines of na‘ionality”, he said, “because nationality is too ill-defined. The mod- ern tendency is toward the formation of larger aggregations of peoples for polit- ical purposes. Nationality is funda- mental; nearly every war has been due to the perversion of nationality. We must, therefore, find a method for the fullest | possible expression of national units and, |at the same time, for political expansion”. | it is the reforms, such as government }ownership of railroads and control of in- dustry, and allowing women to supplant ‘men industrially, which the government has been forced to work under special |pressure of war, which will have to be itaken into account when the time for re- construction comes.

Although we realize that our accounts of plays represent only one point of view, we feel that we have not the space to print every possible shade and variation of opinion on every College show and play. As we announced in our issue of December 2d, we are always willing to pay for and to publish good criticisms of plays if they are sent to us by 8 o’clock on the Monday morning following the play. The general attitude toward work at College is noticeably that of school girls. When one comes to College one is sup- posed to regard work as an end in itself rather than as something to be got through as shiftlessly as the professor will allow. Although required work may not be interesting, Major work we can choose for ourselves and cannot excuse our slipshod hurried work on the ground If we took more interest in our work we of its not being suited to our taste. would find it more interesting. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR (The editors do not hold themselves responsible for opinions expressed in this column) Current Events Course Wanted Ty the Editorjof “The College News’’: It is surprising how many students at College are absolutely ignorant of the events that are happening now, both abroad and in our own country. The stu- dents are not even interested enough in these history-making events to bec her to read the papers each day. At this time of thrilling events such ennui and utter mental laziness are deplorable. Could there not be a general lecture started on the events that happen each week, which might force these narrow-minded stu- dents to take an intelligent interest in the events which will go down to history? la, “37.

This may seem a foolish question—what can we do?—but Saturday’s bleak headlines, “Wilson Orders Villa Caught, Dead or Alive”, have brought home, even here, where the topic is little discussed, the question of our relations with other countries. We cannot help wondering whether in a few months we may not be at war with one country or another. It is a state of affairs so much to be dreaded that it is with something like fear that we see how many people are wearing around the campus the little badges of the Allies colors. They cost a quarter, we aretold. “The money goes to the Relief Fund. as an act of charity. One’s sympathies are pro-Ally’”. So far, so good. It is most commendable to give to charity, but for an American to flaunt her unneutrality even in the seclusion of Bryn Mawr is questionable. It is just this “little drops of water, little grains of sand”, sort of thing which is creating among foreigners the conviction that the United States as a whole is eager for a chance to join the Allies, and which is causing bad feeling in this supposedly neutral country. or all relief funds, but if our sympathies are other than neutral let us keep them shut up in our desk-drawers with our badges.

OUTWARDLY LIFE UNCHANGED BY WAR Former Graduate Writes From Germany Miss Marina Ewald, a German grad- uate student at Bryn Mawr in 1912-13, who is now teaching in a girls’ school in Berlin writes of the feeling in Germany as the war continues. She says “Out- wardly our life goes on as it always did, only that we all expect that after the war taxation will be so heavy all over Europe that it will make a very marked and material difference in the comfort we have hitherto been accustomed to. So far one feels very little, if any, eco- nomical depression or shortage of ma- terial. The two vegetarian days that shall be kept every week at first greatly excited our housewives, but they soon took to it as to any other regular habit. “All in all it seems to me that people are getting blunter towards everything, as if one were only capable of a certain amount of emotion and, that being spent, one adapts one’s self to any kind of con- dition without much resentment or men- tal effort. So there was really hardly vance of our troops in Servia, and so one begins to pass the crippled, who aroused so much feeling in the first year, more or less untouched. I wonder whether the time will ever come when I can feel the world standing open to me, or whether America will remain to me nothing but a memory of that almost fabulous time, ‘before the war’.”’ THE DANSANT ENLIVENS BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION Miss Applebee Entertains for Speakers At the thé dansant in the Gym, which Miss Applebee gave for the evening speak- ers on Saturday, there was a birthday cake with six candles for the C.A.—angel’s food.

Six years ago, she went on, the two Associations ‘met separately one night in voted to dissolve pro- the other did and then the whole in a large mass meeting, which was the enthusiastic beginning of the present Association. Then she told -of the jubilant procession which took the news to President Thomas, singing with a triumphant shout the words, “We are ‘not divided. All one body we”. Important steps taken during the first year were told of by Miss Houghteling, the first president. ‘The new Association was bound to prove its importance to the College”, she said. The Union had been called “works without faith” and the League “faith without works”; but in the new Association all the good points of both were incorporated. From the Union, she explained, came the Board prayer meeting, the service book and the Col- lege prayers, and in the same way cer- tain features of the League were kept. During this first year the Budget system was worked out and the Sunday evening service became important; there were better Bible and Mission Study classes, said Miss Houghteling. Wild Members | Have Known Miss Applebee brought the history of the Association up to date by describing “Wild Members I Have Known”. She said that some people seem to consider the Association a hose, played by the board; some were afraid of it and kept out of its way, and some waited for it to be turned on them. Both, she said, criti- cise it as inefficient. Another class, said Miss Applebee, are the superior, ‘“‘clever’”’ or “good’’, the mental or spiritual giraffes, and another the clams who keep shut, out of selfishness or to hide their emptiness. The rest of the members who are thrilled by the work of the C. A. and know that they are interested, often fail in their high obligation. If, however, there were a crisis, Miss Applebee said, one and all would feel their unity, “for the strength of one is the strength of all’; and all are bound together for the kingdom of God. CAMPUS NOTES The German Club” will, meet on ‘Tiare day afternoon, March 22d, from 4 to 6 o'clock, in R. Joachim’s room, Radnor. Lucretia Garfield, '16, will lead the discus- sion.

It is planned to raise the entire amount by June, 1917, so half the sum will be raised this spring and half next year. The re- maining $24,000 has already been raised by the Alumne Association. The undergraduate canvassing for the first $5000 will be started after Easter and will be done all in one week, each class taking one day.

Conference Has Virile Speakers The rewards and results of active Christianity, Christianity in its relation to social problems, and the definite pur- pose of Christianity, were the subjects of Dr. Coffin, L. Houghteling, ’11, and Dr. Howland, in the three religious meetings of the week-end conference of the Chris- tian Association, held from Friday, March 10th, to Sunday, March 12th. Dr. Coffin made his chief point the fact that the sense of being right, of being a creator who is adequate for his task, and the knowledge that one is undertaking the hardest of all problems, are the apso- lutely inevitable rewards of Christianity in its truest form. Miss Houghteling, who is a probation officer for the Juvenile Court in Chicago, told of her experiences in this work, link- ing them up with her work in the Chris- tion Association here, which, she said, had given her and many others their first inspiration for voluntary service. The one thing positive which men need know about their religion, said Dr. How- land, is that they have the love of God in their hearts. This, he pointed out, was the foundation of Christ’s faith, and by its simplicity can be adopted by all. FICTION LIBRARY BUYS PLAYS The Fiction Library has started a new policy in buying plays for the Library which has hitherto been restricted to other prose fiction. The new plays are: Alfred Sutro—Five Short Plays. Oscar Wilde—Lady Windemere’s Fan, and A Woman of No Importance. Theodore Dreiser—Plays of the Natural and Supernatural. Sherwood—Daphne. The new books which have come in dur- ing the last few weeks are: “Life and Gabriella”, by Glasgow. “Stranger’s Wedding”, by W. L. George, author of the “Second Blooming”. “Within the Tides”, by Joseph Conrad. “Something New”, by Wodehouse. “Memoirs of My. Dead Life”, by Moore. “Bent Twig”, by D. Canfield. DR. HAZEN TO SPEAK ON GAMBETTA Open Meeting of History Club Professor Charles Downer Hazen, Ph.D., L.H.D., will speak on “Gambetta and the Forming of the Third Republic”, at an open meeting of the History Club, in Tay- lor Hall, March 17th, at 8.30. After the meeting there will be a reception in Den- bigh Hall for the members of the History Club and their guests. Dr. Hazen is Professor of History at Smith College and the author of several historical works, such as, “Contemporary American Opinion of the French Revolu- THE COLLEGE NEWS tion” and “Europe Since 1815”. He took | his A.B, at Dartmouth in 1889 and studied at the universities of Géttingen, Berlin, and Paris, taking his Ph.D. at Johns Hop- kins in 1893. Shortly after he became Professor of History at Smith College and is now lecturing once « week in Washing- ton. “THE UNIVERSITY OF LOUVAIN” Address by Former Belgium Professor Professor Albert Carnoy, formerly Pro- fessor in the University of Louvain and now a Professor in the graduate school of the University of Pennsylvania, will |: speak under the auspices of the French Club on March 24th at 8 p. m. in Taylor Hall. His subject is “The University of Louvain”, and the lecture will be deliv- ered in French. SPEND YOUR SUMMER IN LABRADOR Positions in Dr. Grenfell’s Mission A letter has come from the International Grenfell Association, asking for student volunteers to work with the Deep Sea Mission in Labrador. The work, which is under the direction of Dr. Grenfell, is of various kinds. The chief work of Dr. Grenfell himself is in the field of medi- cine. His most important hospitals are at St. Anthony in Newfoundland, and Battle Harbor and Indian Harbor on the west coast of Labrador, where positions are offered for trained nurses and doc- tors. There is also a chance for work in connection with the Orphan Asylum at St. Anthony. Another field of work is teaching dur- ing the summer in the little settlements on the seacoast. M. Foster, '17, who spent some time last summer in one of these little fishing villages, says, in tell- ing of her experiences: ‘As the settle- ment in which I worked was a prosperous one, I had a school house, an organ and twenty-five children between 4 and 17 years. Most of them have had very little education, and even if you don’t feel your- self really fitted to be a teacher, you can always bring those children something they have never had before. I lived with a fisherman’s family, who were very kind and hospitable’. For those who are interested neither in medical work nor in teaching, there are any number of odd jobs, such as running motor-boats and sail-boats. E. Williams, ’07, works in Labrador regularly, and Mrs. Grenfell is an alumna of Bryn Mawr. Many students from both men’s and women’s colleges spend their summer in Labrador. Application may be made to Dr. Russell MacAusland, 240 Newbury Street, Boston, who will furnish details in reference to these appointments. WATER-POLO ALMOST DOUBLES 1918’s POINTS The water-polo has _ considerably changed the points in the all-round ath- lethic championship. The first, third, fourth and fifth team victories of 1918 have raised its points from 54 to 92. 1917 still remains at the top with 110. As a result of the three second team games which came out Monday night in a victory for the Freshmen, 1919’s points have come up to 52.
