CRITICISM TO BE INVESTIGATED BY THE C. A. Representative Committee to Report Ten people, representing different inter- ests in College, have been chosen by the C, A. Board to investigate and formulate the constructive criticism of the Associa- tion. ._A. Grabau,..’16, chairman of the committee, said that it has been claimed that the Christian Association has out- grown its present organization and the Board wishes to find out the different sug- gestions exactly and to hand in to next year’s Board a definite report. The committee will find out from those who resigned this year, from those who have never joined and from any who have improvements to suggest, what changes might benefit the Association. Those who are on the committee are: Chairman, A. Grabau, ’16; A. Werner, '16; C. Kellen, "16; M. Scattergood, °17; N. McFaden, 17; V. Litchfield, "17; R. Cheney, '18; M. Stair, "18; M. Thurman, '19; D. Cham- bers, ’19. CHANGES IN MIKADO ROLES The title réle of the Mikado will be played by E. Pugh, ’15. M. Russell, 16, hag been cast of the part of Katisha in the place of H. Johnson, "19, and the part of N has been changed from A. Moore, 19, to M. Jacobs, "15, who was “Ralph” last year in “Pinafore”. Both performances of the “Mikado”, matinee and evening, will be on April 8th. V. Litchfield, "17, won the poster com- petition. Her design will be used on all the posters and on the programs. DEATH OF KATHARINE REEVES, "19 Katharine Reeves, 1919, died at her house in West Philadelphia, on March 14th, ef pneumonia. Miss Reeves was Charles E. Ellis scholar and was prepared at the Wegt Philadelphia High School. She lived in Radnor. dent Thomas said, “When we send abroad M. C. KLEPS IS EUROPEAN FELLOW Re Eleven Seniors to Graduate Cum Laude Marian Clementine Kleps, 1916, holder of the highest average grade in the class, has been awarded the Bryn Mawr Euro- pean Fellowship and will be graduated Magna cum laude. The announcement of the European Fellow and of the winners of the graduate European Fellowships, to- gether with the roll of honour of the Senior Class and the eleven Seniors Chapel on Friday morning, March 17th, by President Thomas. European Fellow Very Young Miss Kleps’ group is Latin and English and she was prepared by the Girls’ High School, Philadelphia. She is just twenty years old. “Her age”, said President Thomas in the course of her address, “would be approved by President Lowell of Harvard. In his last president’s re- port he has made a study of the Harvard men who enter college at sixteen as com- pared with the Harvard men who enter at eighteen and has reached the conclu- sion that the man who enters the college youngest wins a greater proportion of ac- ademic honours than the man who enters older. This does not mean that if every- body entered college early the grade would be raised. It means only that an exceptional student is exceptional from the beginning. An exceptional student enters college before an ordinary student because she possesses the kind of ability that will mark her out in college”.

This first motion passed a meeting two weeks ago, but, according to the consti- tution, any assessment of more than 25 cents must pass two meetings before it The motion of as- sessment was not passed because it was dent by which, in the future, the College might call upon the Undergraduate Asso- ciation to furnish or repair the buildings at any time. But since the College is again in debt this year and the need for screens is so pressing, it was voted that the Advisory Board consider paying for them by contribution. A motion was also passed that the rules of the Association should be read at the same time as that of the constitution, within the first month of the first sem- ester of each year. The Association also voted to send to the family of Katharine Reeves, '19, a res- olution expressing sympathy and sorrow at her death. WATER-POLO TEAMS “FIND EMPTY POOL Like old Mother Hubbard who found her cupboard bare, the Alumnew and Var- sity water-polo teams found an empty pool when they were ready to begin the game on Saturday. Among the sugges- tions which were offered for filling the pool rapidly was to run water from the fire hose in, but this was considered slightly cold and any one who saw the stream on the campus at a recent drill will know that it is of a dark, muddy color, Mr. Foley encouragingly said that by 8 o'clock he could have three feet of water. As no possible solution for the difficulty could be found, the two teams played a game of basket-ball, Varsity de- feating the Alumne, 29-27.

Fifty-seven per cent of the members of the Christian Association seem to have endangered the business integrity of the Association by not supporting the budget passed unanimously in the fall. Many can only give small amounts, but no member should feel herself free from the obligation to give something. We should consider seriously the extreme need of all philanthropic ‘enterprises, especially mis- sions, at a time of war and we should consider even more seriously the neces- sity of living up to our pledges. Are we failing to keep our promises in every- thing, are we going to be backward in giving to the “Garrett Memorial”, to Bates and to all our undertakings, or is some interest absorbing a disproportion- ate amount of our resources? At any rate we must consider carefully to which we owe the first obligation and must realize that we are bound to support what we vote to undertake. As elections come nearer and nearer, we discuss again the question as to which association is the most important. Whether we believe that the Christian Association, in standing for religion, is more important than Self-Government, which works for law, or not, we must ad- mit one thing: The-officers of Self-Gov- ernment bear upon their shoulders a greater responsibility than the officers of any other association. College Chapel, and the courses on the Old and New Tes- tament in the curriculum, supplement the work of the Christian Association; the Health Department and the Office will cover any lapse of the Athletic Associa- tion or of the Undergraduate Association. Self-Government stands alone, and its officers, on their own initiative, decide the gravest matters. Yet in spite of this fact, the Self-Government elections are still permitted-to be postponed until after all the others are finished. This system might lead, and often has led, to serious evils. Either the best Self- Government officers have been given other positions before’ Self-Government elections come, or too many of the more efficient members of the upper classes have been given no office because opin- fons differ as to the best person for Self-Government. Thus the other asso- ciations suffer from the present methods as well as Self-Government. The present order of elections has no cause for existence except custom, and custom is not enough excuse for any- thing. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR THE COLLEGE NEWS Less Than Half C. A. Members Pledge Ty the Editor of ‘The College News”: The results of the canvassing done by the Finance Committee of the Christian Association this year show that the As- sociation will have to raise $350.00 more before April 1st in order to meet its bud- get. The budget for this year, made up and approved by the Association, is $1585. All of this sum must be raised by the vol- untary pledges of the members except for $178 surplus from the annual dues after the running expenses have been paid. This year the Association has been un- usually backward in pledging. Of the 334 active members, only 145, or 43.4 per cent, have pledged anything at all. The committee is going to canvass this week and next the mrembers who have not. pledged at-alf and it is to be hoped that they 1 find a more generous atti- tude prevailing. Any further contribu- | tions from those who have already pledged something will bring us just so much nearer $350.00. Since the budget is made up each fall by the entire Associa- tion and not by a chosen committee, each member has a voice in deciding its sizé and, once it is approved, she must feel to meet it. The money pledged by the As- sociation is all sent to answer the needs of those who are almost completely de- pendent upon us for support. Surely it is the duty of each one of us to see that they are not disappointed. K. B, Blodgett, ’17. E. R. Biddle, ’19. Candy To Be Sold at Plays To the Editor of ‘‘The College News’’: Candy will be sold at the “Mikado” and class plays for the benefit of Bates Camp, which is in a destitute state financially. Last year nearly every one contributed generously, while this year many have refused to give anything. The committee hopes to secure the remaining $400.00 by candy sales and the further canvassing. We founded the camp and we must sup- port it. M. Dodd, Chairman. RABBI WISE PLEADS FOR : INTEGRITY OF INDIVIDUAL te “We ignore too often the significance of personality”, said Rabbi Stephen Wise, speaking Sunday night in the Chapel. “I am pleading with you to-night that you reverence your own souls. I am pleading with you for the integrity of the indi- vidual”. Rabbi Wise spoke of what he called the “tyranny of the many”, the thing which is oppressing the individual. “We believe too much in the power of num- bers”, he said. “I can never help regret- ting that in every tongue with which we are acquainted there is some maxim such as this: ‘The voice of the multitude is the voice of God’”’. Tyrannies of the Many There are, Rabbi Wise pointed out, sev- eral kinds of tyrannies, chief among which are the tyranny of daily use and habit, and the tyranny of the dead, “sub- tle and insidious and almost irresistible because there is a reverence for those that were and are not in our presence”. These tyrannies must be resisted, he said. “If you yield to the world, if you accept the commands of the world, if you bend the knee to the many, what becomes of your self-revering individual soul? tain of your own soul. The world cannot imprison it. I am pleading that your soul shall be free and unfettered”. LOST A black fur neck-piece. Finder please return to EB: Stauss, 21 Rockefeller.

PROFESSIONAL OPENINGS FOR WOMEN TO BE DESCRIBED Vocational Conference Saturday Law, bond selling, agriculture, and other professional openings for women will be described in twenty-minute talks by women engaged in various occupa- tions, at the vocational conference in Tay- lor on Saturday morning. After lunch the students may meet the speakers infor- mally at coffee in Pembroke. Three of the speakers are Bryn Mawr graduates. This conference is given annually un- der the direction of Mrs. Smith by the Christian Association, to give the stu- dents, especially the Seniors, an idea of the opportunities and exigencies of the most important or the least understood professions. Mrs. Smith secures speak- ers who have had experience and who understand well the points to be consid- ered in choosing a profession. The pro- gram will be posted in Taylor so that those who can not attend the whole con- ference may come to the part in which they are most interested. The subject and speakers are: 1. “Law as a Profession for Women”, Miss Bertha Rembaugh, ’97, Attorney and Councillor at Law. 2. “Medicine as a Profession for Wom- en”, Dr. Martha Tracy, '98, Professor at the Woman’s Medical College of Pennsyl- vania. 3. “Scientific Agriculture for Women”, Mrs. Edith Loring Fullerton, Director of Experimental Farm Work for the Penn- sylvania Railroad. 4. “Journalism for Women”, Miss Eliz- abeth Jordan, Editor of “Harper’s Maga- zine”. 5. “Secretarial Work for Women”, Miss Clarissa Smith, 15, Secretary to the Pres- ident of Drexel Institute. 6. “Real Estate and City Planning”, Mrs. Hugh Ward, Vassar, 1902. “Tea Room and Lunch Room Manage- ment”, “Architecture and Interior Deco- rating” and “Bond Selling” will be an- nounced later. Drama Too Pictorial (Continued from Page 1). that the mind is carried straight to the drama itself. “On the Elizabethan stage the scenery was composed out of the mouths of the actors. The stage of Shakespeare was free as air in the matter of stage scenery. In Sir H. B. Tree’s revival of ‘The Tem- pest’, he turned it into a pantomime, se- lecting the smallest children for the storm scene to give distance and by the rocking of the boat, making them actually sick to give reality. Though the children were sick”, said Mr. Housman disgust- edly, “the public were not”. ; Mr. Housman then turned from the manner to the matter of the drama. “The theme of modern drama”, he said, “is the truckling worship of public opinion. Real drama should begin where a man and his God are at close grips, and show their struggle. This is where modern drama ends”. Fighting Minority Mr. Housman ended his constructive criticism .by saying that we cannot go back to past conditions. “Our drama”, he said, “must be native and reflect modern thought. That thought is: the thought of a fighting minority”. After the lecture Mr. Housman read his one-act play, “The Snow Man,” and the first part of “Prunella’’. THREE MORE CHANCES TO SWIM Qualifications for First Place Decided The times for the two speed swims and the length for the swim under water and the plunge for distance, have been defi- nitely decided upon. The Board worked out these figures. from the results of the meet, but have been unable to decide on times and lengths for second and third class until a great number of people have tried out so that an average can be taken. There will be three more opportunities for those who wish to try out for the | various classes, March 28th and April 4th and llth, but times which have. been made in the meet will count. The qualifications for the classes as they now stand are: different | First Class 68-ft. swim, 21 sec. 136-ft. swim, 46 sec. 150-yd. swim (time undecided upon). Form swimming, 75 out of 90 points.

She said: “I wish to appeal once more to you as students of Bryn Mawr College—the Col- lege that stands above all, as we like to think, for scholarship. The College has been able to do a great deal in raising the standard of women’s scholarship be- cause in a college exclusively for women we have been able to maintain the high- est standards of teaching and study from our entrance examinations throughout our College course to our final examina- tions. I believe that the faculty of Bryn Mawr College has never lowered for one moment our standard of academic excel- lence. “] want to ask you as students of Bryn Mawr College and as products of its training to praise scholarship on all occa- sions. Do not fall into the prevailing slipshod way of pretending that other things in a college are as important as scholarship. Nothing else is as impor- tant. Athletics come and go and pass. You cannot do athletics when you get older except spasmodically and intermit- tently. You cannot act in plays when you leave the College except rarely and very poorly; but wherever you are and what- ever you are doing you can use the aca- demic and scholarly training which you have received at Bryn Mawr College. If you cannot be scholars yourself you can honour and glorify the scholarship of other men and women, especially of women, wherever you find it. You can help other women who are inspired with a love of study to get an opportunity for study. If you do this one thing alone I shall feel that your education will be justified.

Bakst make the third EXPRESSIVENESS BASIS OF ART - Russian Ballet in. Philadelphia hileff which is coming to Philadelphia next week is one phase of the great radical movement which is taking place in Europe. It is a new kind of ballet entirely. It follows no_ fixed absolute rules of dancing. It turns away from the stereotyped forms and conventionality of the old Italian school, while it does not go so far as the extreme naturalness of the life school of Isadora Duncan. The main thing which the new ballet strives after is expressiveness. In its choice of steps and decoration it follows life, bor- rowing from Russian folk dances, or copies from statuary and pictures. In presenting “Le Coq d’Or”’ M. Fokine studied old Russian chap books and broad- sides. For “L’Apres Midi d’un Faune” he went back to Etruscan bas relief. Increased Importance of Music M. Fokine says, writing in the “New York Times”: “The new ballet, refusing to be the slave either of music or of scenic decoration, and recognizing the al- liance of the arts only on the condition of complete equality allows perfect free- dom both to the scenic artist and to the musician. It accepts any kind of music, provided only that it is good and expres- sive”. : Scenery Designed by Bakst The scenery and costumes for the bal- lets have been designed for the most part by Leon Bakst, and the music used is by such composers as Tcherepnine, Chopin, Schumann and Tschaikowski. It is one of the great achievements ofthe new bal- let that it succeeds in blending several of the arts. By abandoning the old method of using ballet music as an accompani- ment, it makes the music as important as the dancing, and the perfect arrange- ment and vivid and original use of color part in a brilliant and harmonious whole.
