The prize for general information on current events, which President Thomas is considering offering will help to fill a need long felt at college. Though com- petition for this prize will be purely op- tional, the mere fact of there being an by the knowledge of current events is an incen- tive to read the newspapers and really keep up with what is happening outside For one of the leading wo- men’s colleges of America to know as little as we do of current events is little less than disgraceful and any chance to remedy this condition should be wel- comed gladly. opportunity to “acquire merit” of college. An examination for this prize would have to be held, of course, and the ques- tion is shall it be oral or written? Cer- tainly the disasterous results of the French Senior oral examination last Sat- urday might be set down partly to the fact that those taking the examination had had almost no experience in oral ex- aminations and therefore were rattled and lost their nerve. oral examinations there would be fewer If there were more failures from mere nervousness in the | important Senior orals.

The habit is as annoying to the interested spectators as it is to the play-|- ers. Yet neither the glares of linesmen nor the sh-sh’s of those who have the proctoring habit penetrate the happy un- consciousness of those who announce proudly: “Well, I don’t know why I’m clapping, but I’m sure it’s all right’. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR (The editors do not hold themselves responsible for opinions expressed in this column) To the Editor of the “College News”: Although a large number of Bryn Mawr alumnae have spent some or all of their time in social work after college, not all have taken advantage of their opportunities as undergraduates to dis- cuss social problems and learn methods of social work. There are many people in college who have had some experience, some who have had much experience, and everyone represents a slightly differ- ent point of view as to social and civic needs, and how to meet them. The es- sential thing is to bring the people to- gether now for their mutual benefit and to start an association which will help them in their work after college. The College Settlement chapter is for this purpose. It is being reorganized now. It is in a plastic state and you can make it what you want. It will be a stimulus to your real interests in social work if you will tell us what they are, The College Settlement Association needs your support in its work and offers you opportunities for training now and even more especially after college. Eleanor L. Dulles. ‘17, Undergraduate Elector. To the Editor of the “College News”: In reply to the letter by “Chantecler” in your last issue, might I ask if he has attended Chapel this year? Many of the old hymn books that could not be used have been rebound and there are now, I think, almost a sufficient number to pro- vide one book for every two persons. Only the very back rows which I have never seen occupied except upon such state occasions as May .Day and the Christmas service, are now left destitute. As for the serious lack of books at morn- ing Chapel the blame may be laid to the door of Nelson, who has neglected to put them round, he has been spoken to and the defect will doubtless be remedied. Furthermore I hope that a new supply of books will soon be added to those we already have so that there will be no shortage whatsoever. In the meantime will “Chantecler” play the part of a Christian, however foreign it may be to his nature, and bear with us a little.

The ’09 are the only Bryn Mawr representa- in every state of this country. Packages | from the branches are sent over to Paris where they are distributed to hospitals Lorraine. Visitors, who travel by motor —two in each car—go to each hospital to see what supplies are needed and often take the necessary supplies back by re- turn trip.
