AMY LOWELL'S:
HUMOR SAVES HER

Imagist Poet Long Applauded Says
New Poetry is Not a Mat-
ter of Form

“If you don’t like it, hiss, if you do ap-
plaud, but for God’s sake do something”,
was the remark by which Miss Lowell
put her audience in a keen humor to ap-
preciate the imagist verse which she read
last Friday night at an open meeting of
the English Club in Taylor Hall. Vers
libre is neither metrical nor syllabic, said
Miss Lowell, but is based on cadence.
The four points in which the so-called
“new poetry” differs from the old are viv-
idness, suggestion, concentration and ex-
ternality.

Use of “Mot Juste” Essential

To avoid getting a “woolly” effect in
poetry, and thus obliterating the above
qualities, Miss Lowell stressed the need
of finding the “mot juste”, and in this, she
said, one should not be hindered by the
exigencies of rhyme. Since the time of
Tennyson’s mellifluous verse, continued
Miss Lowell in a very slight historical
survey, poetry has become visual rather
than auditory. Everything is sacrificed
to vitality and movement in free verse (a
term, she added, which is meaningless
and not to be used, since vers libre has
now been taken over into the language).

“Hoops” and “Battledore and Shuttle-
cock” were read as illustrating this point.
Miss Lowell prefaced the reading of her
poems with the comment that she was
choosing not the things we liked but the

C. A. Policies Framed as By-Laws
Decisive Meeting This Week

Four policies of the Christian Associa-
tion, first, that no money be pledged or
raised by any committee except as au-
thorized by the Association; second, that
the accounts of the treasurer and com-
mittees be audited once a year; third,
that no speakers be invited to speak at
the college without the consent of the
Board, and, fourth, that no delegate ut-
tend any conference without the consent
of the Board, were accepted as by-laws
at a meeting of the Association last
Thursday. To become valid they must
be passed again, and a second meeting
will be held this week.

FACULTY CONTRIBUTES LARGELY
TO THIS YEAR’S LANTERN

 

Contains First Published Work on
John Payne, English Poet
Among the contributors to this year’s
“Lantern”, which will be out some time
during Commencement Week, are Miss
Georgiana Goddard King, Professor of
History of Art, and Dr. Rhys Carpenter,
Associate Professor of Archeology, both
writing poems. Dr. S. C. Chew, Associate
Professor of English Literature, is con-
tributing an article on John Payne, poet
and translator of the 19th and early 20th

century. Dr. Chew's article derives spe- |
cial interest from the fact that it is the |
first detailed account of Payne's work to |

appear in print.

An experience of July 27, 1914, recount-
ing an interview on a train in Germany,
is the contribution of an alumna and for-
mer English Reader, Ida Langdon ‘03.

piece”, by C. Wilcox ‘17, and

B. B. CHAMPIONSHIP GOES
TO 1917 FOR THIRD TIME

Whirlwind Victory Ove Over 1919 Brings
Triple Honor to the Red

Champions now in w in basket-ball, hockey,
and water-polo, and the first class to hold
the basket-ball title for three consecutive
years, 1917 hung its banner on the gym-
nasium last Monday for the third succes-
sive first team victory this year. 21 to 9,
the reds trampled down the plucky green
in a hard-fought contest which looked at
first as though it were going to the soph-
omores.

Two minutes after the first whietle M.
Peacock '19 threw a spectacular goal, fol-
lowing it by a second one before the
senior team recovered. C. Stevens ‘17
next scored on a free throw and the score
stood 4-1 in the sophomores’ favor. Both
sides were fighting hard when L. Brown
‘17 eluded her guard long enough to tip
the ball over the edge, and bring the score
up to 4-3. An exchange of free throws
netted nothing for either side; but 1917
fouled again and M. Peacock ‘19 nailed
one more point.

Victory seemed to be slipping from the
hands of the champions when L. Brown
'17, with a nice shot from the side, de-
stroyed the sophomores’ lead. Her third
goal went in a moment later and the half
ended: 1917, 7; 1919, 5.

In a fine drizzle irritating to the gal-
lery but not interfering with the players,

MISS GARRETT’S PORTRAIT
PRESENTED BY
PRESIDENT THOMAS

Original at Johns Hopkins

Miss Garrett’s portrait, which has re-
cently been hung in the library reading
room, is a copy of a portrait painted of
Miss Garrett by John S. Sargent in Lon-
don in July, 1904, when she was fifty
years old. The original portrait hangs in
the reading room of the library in the new
administration building of the Johns Hop-
kins University at Homewood. It was
painted by request of the Trustees of the
University in recognition of Miss Gar-
rett’s large gifts which made it possible
to open the medical school of the uni-
versity.

This copy was presented to the college
by President Thomas and was painted by
the artist, Miss Gabrielle de Vaux Clem-
ents, who was a personal friend of Miss
Garrett. Miss Clements is not only well
known as an original artist but has a pe-
culiar gift of copying old masters. Three
of her copies of old masters hang in the
stair hall of the Deanery and her copy of
one of Titian’s madonnas hangs over the
mantelpiece in the study of the Deanery.
It was that which the art critic, Mr. Bern-
hard Berenson, called the best old master
in the United States. The Sargent por-
trait is the first copy Miss Clements has
made of a modern picture, but she has
been so successful that it is hard to tell
it from the original.

old lady misinterpreted his motive and
acted the part of a modern Althwa. The
burning of the list did no harm; Shaun
was released and has since rejoined his
lovely wife, Kathien, who, it would seem,
told him what happened in “the main

Shaun's relations with his Mother have
since then been somewhat strained.

Wrong Again

A custom peculiarly enjoyed by the
more searching of our readers but, to the
editorial mind, “more honoured in the
breach than the observance”, has recently
been adopted by the Christian Association.
In short, the C. A. is forcing us to eat our
words. Littlé did we think that our late
remarks on the impossibility of being
“both Christian and Constitutional”
would so soon be flung in our teeth, but
the passage of the four new by-laws to the
Christian Association gives us the lie  di-
rect. Only the satisfaction derived from
the fact that a college organization has at
last embodied in definite statements its
policies on questions hitherto confused
can compensate us for the affront to our
veracity.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

(The editors do not hold themselves responsible
for opinions expressed in this column)
The Bryn Mawr College Farm

To the Editor of the College News:

With the entrance of the United States
into the war the problem of food supply—
which, with the constant rise in prices
has for months been a matter of growing
‘anxiety to the individual consumer—has
assumed overwhelming proportions. Sud-
denly we have been brought face to face
with the problem of feeding nations. Ac-
cordingly when Mr. P. M. Sharpless of
West Chester offered Bryn Mawr College
the use of twenty acres of fertile land for
this summer, we saw before us not only
the opportunity of supplying our own in-
dividual need of vegetables for the com-
ing year, but also an opportunity for na-
tional service.

The primary purpose, then, of the Bryn
Mawr College Farm is increased produc-
tion. Secondarily, however, the farm is
to serve a number of other good causes.
Under the competent management and in-
struction of Mr. A. D. Cromwell, Profes-
sor of Agriculture in the West Chester
Normal School,- about eighty students
will acquire valuable experience in the
growing of vegetables and in their con-
servation by canning, drying, and storing,
in problems of transportation and selling
of vegetables. Further, the farm is to be
a piece of research work from which Mr.
Cromwell expects to draw useful conclu-
sions as to the comparative merits of
various vegetable crops as producing defi-
nite numbers of calories per unit of
ground per unit of work. This will be
done by having each individual cultivate
a cross section containing eight or ten
vegetables. The worker will keep an ac-

curate account of the number of hours
spent on each vegetable. The relation of
the food value of each particular crop to
the cost of production,—-seed, fertilizer,

successful conclusion a kind of produc-
tive work heretofore done only by men.
The land to be used is an outlying farm
of the Sharpless estate,—situated a quar-
ter of a mile from Fern Hill, two stations
this side of West Chester. Mr. Cromwell,
with a Government expert, has planned
the crops to be grown according to the
character and situation of the land as
follows: 5 acres of potatoes, 5 acres of
sweet corn, 10 acres of general garden
truck.

The vegetables grown will be disposed
of as follows: Root vegetables will be
kept in cold storage for the use of the col-
lege next winter. Everything suitable
will be canned or dried directly on the
farm. Perishable surplus will be sold for
immediate consumption. Week-end bas-
kets will be sent to families ordering
them.

Students doing the work on the farm
and in the canning houge wijl be paid at
the rate of twenty cents an hour. Ac-
curate time cards will be kept. Students
will be at the farm for periods varying
from two weeks to four months. It is be-
lieved that they will be able to work
seven or eight hours a day. Under these
conditions they will be able to meet their
living expenses.

A desirable house has been leased in
West Chester. This will accommodate 25
people, the number required throughout
the summer, and meals will be provided
at an adjourning boarding house. The
wardens, or other officials of the college
will act as chaperons.

Work on the farm was begun on May
12th, will be in full swing by the be-
ginning of June, and will continue till
October. During this period it is believed
that enough vegetables will be raised and
conserved to supply the college for the
year 1917-1918 and thus release for gen-
eral consumption what otherwise would
have been bought from public markets.

JUNK MAGAZINES IN WAR ZONE
360 for Torpedo Boat Destroyer

The torpedo boat destroyer “Jarvis”,
soon to be in service in the war-zone, has
received 360 magazines collected at col-
lege by E. Rondinella, chairman of the
library committee of Junk. Only the
men-o’-war are equipped with libraries by
the Government. The smaller craft are
being equipped with reading material by
the Navy Branch of the Y. M. C. A., which
distributed the magazines to the “Jarvis”.

things we ought to hear. A favorite was
“Patterns”, which appeared in the Atlan-
tic Monthly last summer and which, Miss
Lowell said, showed the enlargement pos-
sible in vers libre. Before giving “Dol-
phins in Blue Water’, a poem of two
movements, Miss Lowell explained some-
thing of the theory of cadence in lan-
guage, which corresponds to phrasing in
music. It is a matter of stress and force,
she said, which has nothing to do with
the length of the line. This has been sci-
entifically proved through certain phono-
graphic experiments made on Miss Low-
ell’s verse by Mr. Patterson of Columbia.
The curves can be felt most readily by
young people, particularly if they are
good dancers. Mr. Masefield’s rhythmic
sense is not his strong point, asserted
Miss Lowell, for he reads his poetry as
though it were prose.

Other poems read by Miss Lowell were
“Before an Altar’, “A Lady”, in which
the poet’s vigor is compared to a bright
new penny thrown down before her; “The
Letter”, and “The Hammers”, a narrative
poem taking, as Miss Lowell warned her
audience, a half-hour to read. “The Bom-
bardment”, describing the attack on
Lidge, was read at the request of Mile.

GOUCHER COLLEGE PLEDGE

 

To respond to my country’s need I
hereby pledge to prepare myself physic-
ally, mentally, and so far as possible, spe-
cifically, for usefulness.
|. Physical Preparedness

In order to develop my physical capaci-
ties to their possible extent I will sin-
cerely pay proper attention to exercise,
diet, sleep, dress and personal habits.

I will take at least one hour of regular
exercise each day whether in the gymna-
sium, in recreation or at manual labor.

I will endeavor to form correct habits
as to diet, abstain from eating needlessly
between meals, ascertain under college
medical advice what my physical condi-
tion should be and train accordingly.

I will sleep approximately eight hours
every night, retiring as nearly after ten
o’clock as is compatible with reasonable
duties or engagements, sleeping with the
window of my room wide open, on a
sleeping porch, or in the open air.

I will wear simple clothing, paying due
regard to the laws of hygiene, to habits
of neatness, and to economy and service-
ableness.

I will put into practice what I know to
be correct as to personal habits, keeping
my room and all places over which I have
control clean and in orderly arrangement.

In all of the foregoing, I recognize the
expedience as well as the practicability
of a regime that emphasizes regularity,
persistence, and willingness to profit from
the wisdom and experience of others.

il. Mental Preparedness

In order that I may be informed as to
the causes of the war, its progress, the
changes that have come in the reasons
why the nations are at war, particularly
why the United States is forced to engage
therein, I will attend the eight or ten lec-
tures to be given by the History Depart-
ment of Goucher College, and will read
something every day either in newspa-
pers, periodicals or books, recognized as
supporting the policy of our Government.
lll. Specific Preparedness

‘In addition to preparing myself phys-
ically and mentally, as above set forth, I
will conscientiously take account of my
own fitness and inclinations and give my-
self over to specific training offered by
some one of the departments of Goucher
College. I will give this time outside of
my regular class room and laboratory
duties. I will be loyal and faithful in this
regard and will do all in my power to
stimulate the loyalty and faithfulness of
my fellow students. I will undertake this

1920’s fourth team put 1918’s out of the
‘running, 12-5 and 12-10, last week. The

1919 came to life with a crash in the

|| last few minutes of the first team game

against 1917 on Thursday and decided to
make a real fight for:the championship.

The score was 15-10 in 1917’s favor
when M. Peacock '19 redeemed her for-
mer inaccuracy and difficulty in holding
on to the ball by a clean shot from the
side of the field. An exchange of free
goals netted 1919 a point; E. Lanier ‘19,
with her usual ease in eluding her guard,
put in another goal, and the score was
tied 15-15. 1917 again captured the lead
on a free throw, but after a few minutes
of wild play in which the ball went out-
side continually, E. Lanier shot the win-
ning goal and time was called, the sopho-
mores having won by the narrow margin
of 17 to 16.

In the first half the seniors’ passing
was remarkably good, while for 1919
every pass meant a struggle. Spectacular
goals were made by ©. Stevens "17 and
BE. Lanier 19. In intercepting long throws
from the sophomoré guards M. Thompson

"17 starred. Line-up:

JUNIORS AHEAD ON THIRD

_— the Green in Opening Match of
Finals

To the tune of 24-10,-1918's third team
waltzed to victory over the sophomores in
the first game of the finals last Thursday.
Both forwards did good work for 1918.
R. Hamilton '19 starred at guard for the
sophomores,

Had the play lasted a few minutes
longer several substitutes would have
been needed as five players had had with-
in one of the allowed number of personal
fouls called on them. Four personal fouls
put a player out for the remainder of the
| game.

“Don’t pickle your peas and parsnips
by inventing your own recipes”, said Mrs.
N. L. Snyder, canning expert for the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, last Friday
afternoon in Taylor. “Follow directions
and you will have your own vegetables

‘well canned for next winter”.

Mrs. Snyder, who is doing research and
extension work for the Department of
Agriculture, and has been working: with
boys’ and girls’ canning clubs in the
country, gave recipes for canning garden
produce on a small scale. ‘‘Even if you
have to buy your vegetables”, she said,
“canning pays’’.

Cuma NETS = FOR 1912’s |,

The persistent ives of a young bird
caught in the vines was the only flaw in
Ossip Gabrilowitsch’s essentially popular
concert, given in the cloister Friday after-
noon. Contributions and box office re-
ceipts cleared $130 for 1912’s Endowment
Fund.

Mr. Gabrilowitsch ranks as one of the
greatest players of Chopin in the world
and the selections from Chopin were per-
haps the most enthusiastically applauded
of the whole program, the Valse in C
Sharp Minor being repeated. The playing
of the Sarabande in E Minor testified to
Mr. Gabrilowitsch’s noted brilliance as an
interpreter of Bach, and in precision and
expertness of technique every number fas-
cinated the audience. In Schumann’s
“Warum”, however, which demands a
more tender quality, Mr. Gabrilowitsch
seemed less adequate.

The “Humoresque” was repeated and
as a final encore the pianist gave Schu-
bert’s ““Moment Musical”, played the pre-
vious week for the “Pipes of Pan” at the
dance festival in the cloister.

 

Stones were first tried as a means of
hushing the birds disturbing the concert.
Ushers mounted to the cloister roof and
took aim from there, but to no avail.
At last the chief culprit was discovered
in a young bird tangled in the ivy. An
adventurous spirit succeeded in capturing
him, but by that time Mr. Gabrilowitsch
had come to the end of his recital.
