GHOSTS A FAILURE Obscure Company Travesties ‘Ibsen’s Famous Problem Play Staging Expenses Lost Ibsen’s Ghosts, the epoch-making drama of heredity, was played by the Clifford Devereux Company in the gymnasium last Saturday evening for the benefit of the 1918 Service Corps Fund. The play was a financial as well as an artistic fail- ure. Enough money was taken in to pay the company’s fee of $150, but practically no other expenses were cleared. Opinions of the play itself may differ, but there can be but one judgment of the presentation. Meager stage settings, con- sisting of patched gray drops, some mis- sion furniture,-and a bunch of glaringly artificial roses, were only less inadequate than the actors. Audible prompting, es- pecially of Oswald, did not help matters. The haphazard cutting of the text and startling interpretation of the parts must have made the ghosts of more illustrious actors of Ibsen rise. The subtlety of Ibsen’s heroine was en- tirely missed by Miss Zinita Graf as Mrs. Alving. Instead of the strength of the rebel against convention she exhibited the purposeless emotion of the mid- Vivtorian “female”. To Oswald’s repeated question about Regina, “Isn’t she splendid, mother”? one must emphatically answer, “No”. The brutality of Regina’s final lines, where she asserts her right to the “joy of life”, came as a complete shock after Miss Cop- ley’s distorted conception of the part as that of a pert parlor maid. Regina’s pseudo-father, the hypocritical Engstrand, departed less widely from the (Continued on page 5, column 2) M.

SER VICE CORPS WINS SUPPORT OF ALL COLLEGE COLLEGE BACKS WAR COUNCIL Action to Reconsider Fails When Project is Explained Mass Meeting Supports Service Corps After Long Discussion A.mass meeting of nearly two hundred persons, including Faculty, Staff, alumna, and students, has again put itself on rec- ord as supporting the Bryn Mawr Sérvice Corps. The meeting, called Tuesday night by petition of thirty-one students to reconsider the Service Corps, took no ac- tion to reconsider, but seemed satisfied with the explanation given by the Chair. Final knotty points were cleared up by discussion. Virginia Kneeland '18, Chairman of the War Council, outlined the aim and func- tion of the Service Corps as follows: 1. The Service Corps is an organization of war workers supported by a joint fund raised by the alumne and the college community. 2. By support of workers is meant the payment of their travelling expenses to the place of work, their living expenses, and, if possible, the furnishing of equip- ment to be used or dispensed in the work. (Miss Kneeland characterized the living expenses as modest, saying that the work- ers would live as nearly as possible on the seale of those among whom they worked. About $3000 a year, if equip- ment is included, will support one worker.) 3. The type of worker is always open to revision, but is now taken to include trained workers, such as doctors, nurses, canteen workers, and so forth, and un- trained workers of intelligence and exec- utive ability when these qualifications alone are asked for. Excellent health is always a question. Extreme youth, un- (Continued on page 5, column 1) OUTLOOK HAS ARTICLE BY DR. BARTON ON PACIFISM Says Killing is Sometimes Justifiable “The Confession of a Quaker” is the title of a war article by Dr. Barton in the Outlook for February 6th. The article says: “It is cause for gratitude that there is growing among men a new sense of the sacredness of human life. The Friends have long tried to live so as to express to the world their sense of its sacred value. ; To hold, however, that life is so sacred that man may never take it is to distort the truth. It makes the posses- sion of physical life of more value than liberty, justice, and right. “To interpret Jesus’ words so as to make them command us to stand by and see a murderer kill a woman or a child and lift no hand, or to command us to make no effort to restrain robber nations from working murderous wills on Serbia and Belgium, is to do Jesus a gross in- Dr. Barton’s new book, Miscellaneous Sumarian Religious Texts, published by | the Yale University Press, will appear in about two weeks.

The action was taken in accordance with a recommendation from the Committee on War Relief Work. “I think the Service Corps the finest thing that has been thought of by any college”, declared: Mrs. Francis Louis Slade (Caroline McCormick ex-’96) in the lively discussion of other possible enter- prises which preceded the final vote. Several speakers pointed out that the plan for a Service Corps was especially | feasible--sinee—it-did- not preclude other things, such as supplying and physicians: for field supporting canteen workers in Y. M. C. A. huts.

Charles Norton, head of the American Red Cross Ambulance and a member of the American Red Cross Commission to the Allies, may be secured. Other pro- spective speakers are Norman Hapgood, former editor of Harper’s Weekly, who has recently returned from abroad; Isaac Markeson, author of the articles on the “business management” of the war which appear in the Saturday Evening Post. Mr. Markeson's subject would probably be “Allied Leaders”, taking up Asquith; Lloyd George, and Sir Douglas Haig; and Hugh Gibson, of the National Red Cross Committee, who would speak on the Ger- man Occupation of Belgium.

The speakers | were President Thomas,Professor—-Rufus M. Miss Katherine Tucker, Mrs. Francis L. Slade ex-'96, Ida | Ogilvie '96, and Louise Hodges ‘18, who spoke instead of Virginia Kneeland ’18, ‘on the college War Council. As a graduate of Jones, Professor Vassar and head of | the Philadelphia Visiting Nurses’ Associa- | tion, Miss Tucker described Vassar’s plan | for an intensive nurses’ training camp to |be held on the campus during the sum- imer. The idea, she said, is to recruit |; women from the Class of 1918, and older classes for ten years back, from all the | colleges, but to take only those that-are | fitted temperamentally for the training. The faculty will be chosen from univer- | sities all over the country. Chemistry, | bacteriology, and other theoretical sub- | jects will be taught, and such practical | exercises as making hospital beds. « un- ‘ics will be held in shell-shock, and tuber- culosis, and the training designed for pub- ilic health service and _ reconstruction work after the war as well as for military ;nursing. Those taking the course must sign up for two years of hospital training, to be followed by three months either in /cantonments or in civilian health work, Farm Unit Successful Experiment An account of a woman's farm unit, which she supervised last summer, was given by Professor Ida H. Ogilvie °96, | Dean of the Women's Agricultural Camp iat Bedford, New York. The idea of the unit system, she explained, is for the women to live in camp and the farmers in the neighborhood to telephone each day for as many workers as they need.

How to Win the Corps After a more complete understanding of the fact and aim of the Service Corps as explained at the mass meeting, the col- lege community now backs the project as a whole. The only danger now is that merely passive consent will be allowed to take the place of active hostility. The danger is comparatively small, for cam- paign plans are fast maturing and they need only the enthusiastic support of the community to bring great results for the Service Corps. The Point The discussion of Tuesday evening as to whether help to the Armenians should or could go through the Service Corps, in- dicates a philanthropic confusion of mind on the question. No distinction was made between helping the American and Allied soldiers through workers and the Arme- nians through money, except the present impossibility of sending a woman to Pal- estine. The distinction lies far deeper than this and relates to the very nature of the Service Corps: no one expects the cruelly persecuted Armenians to be a fac- tor in‘any way in winning the war and everything is expected of our soldiers and those of our Allies. The Service Corps was never formed as a charitable organization, but that Bryn Mawr might share in the fight through her workers, like our men, “in the service’. Paying the Piper The indignation of the college as a whole over last Saturday’s travesty of “Ghosts” has largely abated, for the harsh ruffling of the artist’s feelings is smoothed by time. But the injury to the financial sense is less quickly healed. Those who have.to make up the deficit for which “Ghosts” is responsible are still feeling gloomy. Though they deserve sympathy, it is to be hoped that the risk of engaging an obscure company at a high fee will not be repeated. Both the feelings of the audience and the money of the too optimistic backers are need- lessly sacrificed. DEATH OF AMELIA RICHARDS Amelia Richards, ex-1918, died at the Roosevelt Hospital, New York City, on Wednesday, February 6th, of pernicious anemia. Miss Richards attended college for her Freshman and Sophomore years. She sailed for France with C. Kellen ‘16, in November to work on surgical dress- ings, but was obliged to return on account of illness.

FOSDICK’'S BOOK “Christian prayer is a condition, not an act or a series of acts”, said E. Biddle ‘19, bringing out the naturalness of prayer, at the first of a series of open Sil- ver Bay meetings last Sunday night, The Colleze Ne ws. THE COLLEGE NEWS sists the discussion colliak on ‘the | opening chapter of Dr. Fosdick’s . book, “The Meaning of Prayer”. “Deep in every one of us is the tendency to pray, which, properly disciplined, reveals unbounded possibilities”, went on Miss Biddle. It our prayer is spasmodic and we only pray when we want something, it ceases to be Christian. “That Christian prayer always expects an answer and depends for the consum- mation of fulfilment upon the person who is praying”, was brought out in the dis- cussion.

PERSONAL PLEDGES :DGES SUGGESTED BY FOOD COMMITTEE To the Editor of the College News: The Food Conservation Committee has now held three meetings at which there have been discussions as to the best and most practical way in which members of the college community can co-operate with the Food Administration. It was agreed that to eat three meals a day reg- ularly, and only three, was the best way to obtain the most nourishment with the least waste. It was the sense of the meeting that the committee is against eating between meals, and _ therefore against the selling of-any food on the campus, on the ground that such selling makes it easier to obtain food, and thus tends to increase consumption. It was moved and seconded that food should not be sold for the benefit of the Service Corps. At the request of the undergraduate members of the committee, the following form of pledge is suggested: “I hereby pledge myself to adhere strictly to the regulations of the Food Ad- ministration by observing Mondays and Wednesdays as wheatless days, Tuesdays as meatless, Saturdays as porkless, not only at the three regular meals, but throughout those days; and that further- more I will eat as little as possible be- tween meals, especially avoiding the un-|in it, sent prices up. necessary consumption of such articles | as contain meat, wheat, sugar, fats, and | other things which should be saimeried | | dot, | Sheppard, M.

Ca “THE ROMANCE OF THE MARKET Siosaintin Written by Marion P. Smith, Professor of Economics [The second of a series of articles by special contributors.] Within the past year I have heard two spirited defenses of the American news- paper. One was by a woman reporter, with long experience on many city pa- pers, a stormy petrel of the newspaper world. She claimed that in the absence of a folk-literature of story and legend, the newspaper, recording the tragedies, comedies, and casual happenings of cur daily world, is the great source of our common knowledge, and she did not hesi- tate to add—of inspiration. The other was an English critic, who, failing to dis- cover an American novel or an American essay, had nothing but praise for the American newspaper. The standard of writing he finds higher than in European papers; it calls for the best brains of the country; it truly reflects national life. Neither of these apologists mention the news that makes the poorest paper tolerable, the best paper delectable, and some papers indispensable. The be- nighted triflers who skim the headlines, dip into the news column, peep at the marriage and death notices, and with a sense of public duty worthily performed read an editorial, stultify their souls. They have omitted in reading their Ham- let the speeches credited to the Prince of Denmark, The romance of American life is found on the financial page in a prim column of figures recording the fluctuations of Stock Market quotations and in a few terse paragraphs commenting, in the light of the Market’s activity, on the news of the day. That the Stock Market has per- sonality is revealed in the terms in which it is described. When the man who has not seen the evening paper asks the man who has, “What did the Market do?” the answer may be, “It’s nervous”, or “de- pressed”, “Its worried over Wilson’s speech”, “it’s climbing right along”! The Market is always a prophet. It antici- pates the future. Prices vary with re- gard not to present conditions but to those which may obtain in six months or a year’s time. Three months before the United States entered the war the Market had recognized the inevitability of such an act and finally became desperately anxious to hasten the event and to get the worst over. All “bad news” indicat- ing a long war, as America’s participation All “good news”, an allied victory, or the “leak” of the famous E. Cecil, M. Morton, F. Riker, E. Ward. E.

Bacon, head fire cap- tain, have begun. The drills will be judged on a basis of both speed and order, and the money collected from the fire | fines will be awarded to the winning hall. Pembroke voted that the money be con- | tributed to Red Cross and this will prob- ;ably be done. The two stars which have been added | to the Service Flag on Taylor are for two of the employees in the halls. 1919’s Service Corps Committee is H. Jehnson, chairman; J. Holmes, E. Fuller, T. Haynes, H. Reid, A. Landon, and FE. Hurlock. White elephants will be auctioned off at a Thé Dansant given by 1919 for the benefit of the Service Corps in the Gym- nasium, on Saturday afternoon. 1920 has elected new hall representa- tives: M.

Newlin ‘18, M, Timpson ‘18, and L Wood "19, had fifteen hours of high credit last semester Peace note in December, 1916, sent prices: tumbling down. Now, after ten months of warfare, the Market, though not war- weary, anticipates peace and reconstruc- tion. ment to the farmers of the country that the decisive action of the war would come. in 1918, sent prices up from two to five points. mento fro mthe Allied war council, inter- preted by the Market as tending to stiffen German resistance, sent prices down. Like complex characters in fiction—and in real life—the Market’s motives are not always clear. Sometimes prices go down or up for no good reason at all, or con- trary to good reason. “The Waldorf Crowd” may organize a “bear raid”, or the bulls drive up prices “to unload on the lambs”. Manipulation from within afflicts the Market like an internal com- plaint with contradictory symptoms, or a fever of speculation may sweep the country and the public may enter the Market and carry all before them as in the famous Rubber boom in England in> 1910, and our own great bull Market in September to November, 1915. To appreciate the romance of the Mar- ket we must read all the news of the day every day and develop a sense of its dra- matic guality. To participate one must own a stake in the game, A “punter” is a person who owns one or more shares of stock—generally a very few—in a variety of railroad, industrial, domestic and for- eign corporations, and owns them not only for purposes of investment but for the emotional reactions they afford to the daily news.

SEX NO DISABILITY AS SUCH Muscular strength tests of women have recently been carried out by two pro- fessors of Leland Stanford University to determine how far the heavy burdens of war work can be entrusted to women, ac- cording to the January Journal of the American Medical Association. The ten- tative conclusion is that no difference in the strength of men and women is due to sex, as such, and that a woman’s racial efficiency is not impaired by a high de- gree of muscular power... Forty-five college women of ‘ average health were studied, most of whom had always been physically active, but not specially athletic. Thirty-six groups of muscles were each tested two or three times. The ages of the women ranged from sixteen to fifty-six. Those women who had, as children, shared the activities of brothers and other boys, were, in gen- eral, the strongest. “Such differences as are frequently found (between men and women) are due to differences in the use of muscles, brought about by the conven- tional limitations of activity or by dress, * * * We may therefore conclude that sex is not necessarily a disability, and that if some method be found of adjust- ing work to the individual strength under proper hygienic conditions, without ref- erence to sex, there is no reason why the potential power of woman may not be used without danger of lessening her racial efficiency”.

Those behind the early closing move- ment believe that by omitting Baster va- cation and the week of Commencement festivities and by having Saturday ‘lec- tures, the college work would not be in- jured. They urge the necessity of begin- ning government positions the first of June and of having part of May to work on the farms. Against the plan almost every member of the War Council raised objections. Three weeks of work could not be crammed into Saturdays and vacations on such short notice, was Dr. Frank’s view. Both the Health Department and the Wardens thought that Easter vaca- tion could not be omitted without-injury to the students’ health, and consequently to their work, declared Miss Ehlers, Chairman of Food Production. The prob- able small percentage of persons who would actually profit by the change was also stressed. Committee to Investigate Closing Plan A committee to find out from the Fac- ulty, the undergraduates, and the Regis- tration Committee what real need there is for early closing, and make recom- mendations to the War Council, was voted. Miss Kingsbury, at the same meeting, outlined the threefold program of the Registration Committee as regards train- ing and placement. It includes a week- end conference, April 12th and 13th, in which alumnez engaged in professional work or in business will discuss with the students the special lines in which thev have succeeded; the engagement of out- side speakers on openings for women; and the work of the Appointment Bureau under Dean Taft. Miss Julia Lathrop, it is hoped, will be secured to speak on Government Posi- tions for Women, and Mr. William Har- ned on Opportunities for Women in Jour- nalism. College Backs War Council (Continued from page 1, column 2) less specially demanded, will be consid- ered a disadvantage. 4. The methods of placement are three: first, where an invaluable worker is avail- able, a position in some organization de- manding such a worker will be found; second, where a position is open, the Service Corps list will be gone over, and the position, if possible, filled; - third, where people connected with the college are already in the field, but are unable to continue work through lack of funds, they may be supported by the Service Corps it doing valuable work. 5. Direct contributions of money may be made through members of the Service ee the work in which these mem- berS are engaged. (To work with which members of the Corps have no connec- tion, contributions may be made through the Red Cross and Allied Relief Depart- ment of the War Council. No formal canvass, by vote of a previous mass meet- ing, may be made this year for any war object except the Service Corps.) 6. People who have had connection with the college will be given preference in choosing members of the Corps, but no one will be exeluded simply on the ground of not being connected with Bryn | Mawr. Additional Undergraduate Voted The meeting voted that an undergrad- uate, to be elected by the Undergraduate | Association, which is to administer the Service Corps Fund and place the workers be added to the committee | This administrative committee, oriz- | inally recommended by the War Relief Committee of the Alumnew Association, | was ratified Tuesday night with the amendment that another undergraduate ‘Close College Early to Release War begin be included. - now consists of seven members: Three elected by the Alumne, Ex-Dean Reilly, Miss Dimon, Miss Martha Thomas; three from the War Council, the chair- man, V. Kneeland ’18, the head of the Red Cross and Allied Relief, E. Houghton ‘18, and a member of the Faculty, Dean Taft; an undergraduate to be elected by the Undergraduate Association. Primitive Religion Ancestor of Superstition Says Mrs. Seelye FIRST CLASS WELL ATTENDED The first of the series of seven lectures on Comparative Religions being given be- fore Easter by Kate Chambers Seelye ’11, was delivered in the gymnasium last Wednesday evening to an audience of over a hundred. This was approximately the attendance averaged at Dr. Molde- hauer’s classes in the first semester. Mrs. Seelye emphasized the relation between “primitive religions”, the subject of her lecture, and Christianity; between the early beliefs, such as Fetishism, and the superstitions which persist to-day. “Mankind”, she said, “has always been looking for God; Buddhism, Mohemma- danism, and Christianity, are all on differ- ent rounds of the ladder which leads to God. Christianity is the message of love plus the fact of Christ himself and his teachings, whereas in the primitive religions the chief elements were fear and anger’. The sacredness to the believers of the primitive beliefs, and the corresponding respect due them, funny as they seem from the modern viewpoint, were pointed out by the speaker. Books on Hinduism, Buddhism, and other primitive religions, will be studied each week by groups in the different halls in preparation for the next class. Ghosts a Failure (Continued from page 1, column 1) original. Though perhaps too menacing, he received the sincerest applause. His lines were meant to be funny. Edmund Forde overacted the innocence of Pastor Manders and so emphasized his ludicrousness that it was impossible to understand why Mrs. Alving ever ran away to him. Oswald’s taste in smok- ing jackets condemned him from the start. It is difficult to unaerstand why Mrs. Alving hesitated to administer the morphia; for in Oswald the border line between sense and insanity was always indistinct. With at least one line in the play, however, the whole audience was in sym- THE COLLEGE NEWS arnt = i - * me : CAST Mrs. Alving, a widow.........

Memorial Endow- ment Fund, which was started in the fall of 1915 as a memorial to Miss Garrett, who died the previous spring, has been completed. The deed of gift was. made over to the Trustees at the annual meet- ing of the Alumnz Association, Febru- | ary 2d. As soon as the Trustees accept the deed of gift, the fund, which consists of $100,000, will be turned over to them. $90,000 was contributed by the alumnze and friends of the college, and $10,000 by the undergraduates. | The professorship of English was chosen by the Alumne Association as the one to be endowed, and the holder of the new chair will be called the Mary Q&. Gaireit Alumne Professor of Englisa. Two other new chairs will be named in the departments of Greck and Latin. | The Alumne acquired the right to name two chaiis in 1910, when they made over a fund of $200,000 to the Board of Trustees of Bryn Mawr, but they took no action until this year. Professors’ Salaries. Increased The endowment of a chair at Bryn Mawr by a fund of $100,000 means the perpetual payment of the salary of one full professor through the annual interest on the endowment fund. The money hitherto spent by the college on the sal- ary of the professor whose chair is en- dowed is thus released for other purposes. In this case it will go to increase the sal- aries first of associate professors and then of full professors, Any surplus in the fund will also be used for this pur- EO6S. Will Meet Requests for College Pictures At the same meeting a collection of slides and pictures of Bryn Mawr was decided upon to meet the requests which frequently come to the college from schools. The college itself is unable to do this through lack of funds. Miss Dimon explained the need for such a col- lection and a motion was passed making the necessary appropriation. FORTY-FIVE VOLUNTEER TO MAKE FIVE-MINUTE WAR SPEECHES Forty-five students are willing to make four- or five-minute speeches on the Lib- erty Loan and other War matters, in the Schools in Bryn Mawr, according to the list of the Education Department. The applicants will have their material furnished them, probably in Government pamphlets, and must try out before the Committee on Outside Speaking, made up of the club presidents. Other volunteers should give their names to P. Turle, chairman of the Edu- cation Department.

Blattner, last Friday even- ing in Taylor Hall. “In the Nod dances the body is held rigid, the hands and arms playing the im- portant part”, said Mrs. Blattner, illus- trating her lecture by colored slides. “There is only one step, that of sliding the foot along the floor and then raising the ‘oe. In contrast to the Geisha girls the !'6 dances try to be so heavy that the floor will squeak. Every step that a dan- cer takes must go toward making the curves of a fan open or closed. “The Nd has two or three actors and an orchestra and chorus. The speaking and suggestive dancing are the essential features. . idealized conscience of the audience and as almost no scenery is used, the dancers must be so perfect that the audience will be able to imagine the background. “The No, which is usually given in a temple enclosure or a private house, was introduced by the Chinese Buddhist priests and often embodies some virtue. On account of its religious significance it enjoys a high form of respect and all the nobles except the emperor take part in it”. Niss Wlattner studied in the Kwanzé School in Kyoto and is the only foreigner who ever entered a regular Mai school. There are only seven schools of any im- portance and these have existed for gen- erations under the same name. The schools are handed down from father to son and from teacher to star-pupil. The grandfather of Fumi Uchida ’20 was a dis- tinguished No Mai dancing teacher. | | . } Vassar Nurses Camp Theme of Address (Continued from page 1, column 4.) season came around, that the work it | brought—ploughing, harvesting, or apple picking,—was not too hard for women. The Bedford camp was made up of about 75, recruited from the ranks of shop-girls, college undergraduates, sing- ers, and teachers. Commenting on the good influence of college women in such units, the speaker said that the best re- sults would be obtained if college stu- dents and alumnzw would spread them- selves through the units, instead of all going togéther into one unit, “as all the baking powder into one pan”. President Thomas explained the work of the War Committee of the Association of Collegiate Alumnzw of which she is chairman. The committee is endeavoring to rally college women to support the government in winning the war by patri- otic speaking. College Women’s Patri- otic Speaking Bureaus are being opened as rapidly as possible in different states to train speakers and supply them with patriotic speeches. Three bureaus are already organized in Pennsylvania. Miss Elizabeth B. Kirkbride '96 is Director of the Philadelphia Bureau, and Miss Doro- thy Shipley '17 is its Treasurer. Giving a brief history of the victorious |} Woman suffrage campaign in New York State, Mrs. Francis Louis Slade (Caroline MecCarmick ex-’96), chairman of the War Service Committee of the Woman Sutf- frage Party, told of the assistance the suffrage party has been able to give to the Federal and State government on various occasions, as in the military cen- and of the schools for citizenship which the women suffragists have estab- lished for alien or uneducated women Prefosser Rufus M.
