Not only would the energies of the college be going into unproductive labor, Miss Taft pointed out, but into unnecessary labor, for “a nation at war must learn to give its money without expecting to be enter- tain SOMETHING WRONG SOMEWHERE “A pacifist has something physically, wrong”, said Mr. Walcott, in answer to a question from one of the audience after his lecture last Saturday. “Hither the brain or the spinal column is lacking”. COLLEGE REFUSES TO ABANDON MUSIC BECAUSE OF WAR YEAR Admission to be Charged at Door Music will be brought to the college as usual this year through a series of con- certs, the expenses of which are to be de- frayed, as last year, by charging admis- sion at the door. It was the wish of the Music Committee of the Undergraduate Association, ex- pressed at a recent Undergraduate meet- ing, that this method of meeting expenses should be abandoned in favor of the pledge system, used successfully in 1915- "16. Concerts given last year, R. Hart 18, Chairman of’ the Music Committee, pointed out, often barel ared ex- penses. The Association, however, was unwilling that the college should be can- vassed for pledges and evidently pre- ferred to risk signing contracts in ad- vance of receipts. Many students voted against both methods, wishing to defeat them on war grounds. Kitty Cheatham will probably give a Christmas concert here in December and Reinhold Warlich, who sang here lest year, is expected sometime in November. “WRITING THE ORALS— HA! HA! HA!” Seniors Sing And Cheer Before One Hi + Test. Committee of Three ill Busy Correcting Papers Ten minutes of untrammeled oral sing- ing greeted the Senior French examiners last Saturday morning in Taylor before the examination. Sixty-one Seniors took the examination, which lasted an hour. To the tune of “Brighten the Corner Where You Are”, the revival hymn made famous by “Billy” Sunday, 1918 set the first “written oral” song,’ “Writing the Orals, Ha, Ha, Ha”! which they gave for the first time Friday night in Pembroke at the oral singing. The same committee of three, Dean Maddison, Miss Donnelly, and Monsieur Beck, which made out the French exami- nation, is correcting the books. On dc- count of the time it will take for all three to go over each book, the Seniors will not hear from their French before they take College War Relief in “Quarterly” A statement of the plans of the under- graduate War Relief Committee for the year, including extracts-from letters writ- ten by Mrs. Dike, chairman of the recon- struction work of the American Fund for French Wounded, will appear in the next Alumnz Quarterly. “Meat, wheat, and sweet are what our Allies must have to fight down the Prus- sian system”, said Mr. Frederic Walcott, investigator of Belgium, Serbia, and Po- land for the Rockefeller Institute, who spoke on the Prussian system and food administration at the War Relief week end last Saturday in Taylor. “The U- boats began to starve Belgium in August and she is starving still. Tuberculosis is running over the country like a prairie fire. Poland is starved. Roumania is starved, and unless she is fed there is grave danger that she will make a sepa- rate peace, letting the Germans into Odessa, the Black Sea, and the wheat fields of Russia. “We expect Belgium to starve”, said General von Bissing, late Governor Gen- eral of Belgium, in reply to Mr. Walcott’s inquiry. “Then we can force the Bel- gians into Germany to release fighting men. Some we will send to Mesopotamia, the weak and young we will push in front of a firing squad into the enemy’s hands for France and Britain to care for, At the end of the war Belgium will be a German province. and Antwerp ours”. “This was a sincere. statement from General von Bissing”’, said Mr. Walcott. “Denationalization is only an incident if it helps Germany. “The grave-yard of a nation”, Mr. Walcott called the old Napoleonic road by which he travelled into Poland. The Germans had asked him to investigate Poland, fearing that the starvation there would demoralize the German troops. Along this road had passed the Polish refugees, fleeing after the retreating Russians in 1915. “I could not count the wicker baby baskets such as hang in the peasants’ cottages, there were so many lying beside the road”, said Mr. Walcott. “Typhus was in every single camp I visited”, he said. “The refugees were crowded by tens of thousands into bar- racks that were hardly weather proof in the bitter climate. They were emaciated, indescribably filthy, and had the hunger stare by which we have learned to know the starving.” “By starvation”, said Mr. Walcott, “the Germans hope to accomplish what they have tried for years to do in Poland. There they can run the gamut of cruelty. Belgium is too near Holland and the West for such treatment.” “What is good for Germany is good for the world”, say the Prussians, according to Mr. Walcott. The fates of Belgium, Poland, Roumania, and Serbia are exam- | ples of what is good for Germany. Mr. Walcott, who is on the Food Ad-| ministration Board, and lives with Mr. Hoover in Washington, took the audience into his confidence, telling them of the official outlook on the war. He requested that his confidential information be not printed. . Susan F. Nichols ‘15 has been ap- pointed English Reader for the first sem- ester and is living with Dean Taft at Penygroes, Latest Bulletin on War Relief Over fifteen hundred dollars in cash, checks, and pledges was col- lected for War Relief after Mr. Wal- cott’s lecture last Saturday night. Denbigh leads the other halls with a total of almost $500. A reconstruction unit in France, to be supported by the alumnew and un- dergraduates, has been. suggested in-— stead of Y. M. C. A. huts or a Russian ambulance as an object for the fund. In any case a certain percentage of the money goes to the Main Line Chapter of the Red Cross, the greater part being kept for this main war charity not yet decided upon, Miss Anne Morgan of New York /ias offered to come and speak on the re- construction work of the American Fund for French Wounded some tin.c late in November. % EXPELLED PROFESSOR SCORES COLUMBIA; THREATENS TO SUE Sympathy With Dr. Cattell Causes Resignation of Charles. H. Beard The Faculty and students of Columbia University have been in an uproar -for the past two weeks as a result of the ex- pulsion of Professor J, McKeen Cattell from the Chair of Psychology on the charge of “disseminating disloyal doc- trines on the-war’. Charles A. Beard, Professor of Political Science at the Uni- versity and author of American Govern- ment and Politics used in the politics course at Bryn Mawr, has resigned from the staff because of his disapproval of what he believes to be the repression of | free speech among the Faculty. Professor Cattell, in a letter slurring President Butler and the trustees, wrote in part: “Whatever may be the opinion held of me in this period of prejudice and soon emerge, my ‘services to fhe univer- sity are a matter on record .. . I made the department of psychology the strongest in the world and as head of the departments of philosophy and anthro- pology made them the strongest in America It would not only be common decency, but also common sense, for the trustees to pay the pension due to me . . . Otherwise, there will even- tually be unrest among the members of the Faculty; a lawsuit will bring out facts concerning the president, the trus- tees, and the university which will not be of service to them”. The need is felt at Columbia of bring- ing about a closer co-operation between Faculty and trustees and so removing the objection that the latter are checking free discussion at the university. PUBLIC OPINION PUTS BAN ON FLOWERS The sending of flowers this year for “orals” or plays has been discouraged at Bryn Mawr both at the Christian Asso- ciation meeting last Friday and at differ- ent class meetings. No votes have been taken, however, as public opinion is counted on to regulate the matter. | R. Gatling "19 has been chosen leader of the Glee Club for 1917-18. The busi- ness manhager‘is D. Chambers ‘19; the assistant business manager, L. Kellogg. DAY GIVEN UP FOR MORE DIRECT V WAR WORK | audience, are tired of it. ‘Excitement reached a fever pitch last Thursday night when the fate of May Day hung in the balance while the tellers counted a secret ballot cast by the Under- graduate Association on the motion that | the festival be given this year for war relief. The announcement that the project had been voted down 251 to 56— a defeat of almost five to one—came as a complete surprise, since dyring the meet- ing, which lasted nearly two hours, both sides were warmly upheld. Early in the meeting Miss Nearing ’09, a former Pres- ident of Undergraduate Association, was introduced to speak from the point of view of “one who had experienced several May Days”, and gave her arguments against having the féte under present conditions. V. Kneeland ‘18, President, asked that “patriotism” be left out of the discussion, since patriotic service was the common end of the whole Associatiort, the difference of opinion being merely as to the best means toward that end. May Day Incompatible with Gritted Teeth “Do we want to give May Day: at all, and if so, do we want to give it under the present conditions’? was Miss Nearing's formulation of the issue. She said in part: “Many people believe that May Day should be given up entirely, that Phila- delphia people, who make up most of the It is true that | when Bryn Mawr began having May Day |it was a unique sort of performance, whereas now something on the same or- der may be seen at almost any college in the country. Still, I believe May Day is .one of the big things in college and that no maiter how much people hate it be- | fore, while they are working for it, every- unreason, from which I trust we shall one loves it on the day. It has a peculiar flavor and a thrill all its own. “Granting, then, that May Day is fine in itself, ought it to be given under the present conditions? The first reason against it has been called a sentimental one. May Day will come just at the be- ginning of the big spring drives, wher every mail and cable will bring lists of killed and wounded. Those of you who have read books describing the first months of the war in England can im- agine what the reaction will be. I can’t remember whether you are old enough to remember when the Titanic went down , but if you do, you know that the reaction after such a tragedy is horrible. I can’t imagine a May Day given by people with gritted teeth. Even if it were given, the audience might be cut down one-third. . . “Another reason which may or may not have weight with you is that practically all of the Faculty and Staff are against it. es ’ “The cost of the last May Day was $6000. This year it will probably be $10,000. “It seems too bad to put so much effort on something that is non-productive. I must have spent about ninety hours in rehearsal for May Day my Freshman year, although I had only a small part— that of the lion in Pyramus and Thisbe. Innumerable hours, too, must be spent making costumes, with nothing to show (Continued on page 5, column 2) reaches for her seventh sandwich. “I hope you don't think I'm a pig”, she : murmurs, “I always eat too much at teas”. Her neighbor, gazing out the win- dow as though not to let her left hand 1 ee we? a : ‘know what her right hand doeth, grasps at a cracker from the desk behind. After the last guest had staggered out the door, the hostess looked upon the wreckage. A moment only, then the girl next door, who had come early to tea and got up another appetite in the meanwhile, ‘eame back. One swift glance, and the feeble remnant of the once sumptuous feast had vanished forever. ‘The next morning the hostess and her friend lingered at breakfast over “their morning papers. “I ate too much yester- day”, confessed one. “I never want to touch another sandwich”. “Nor I”, re- plied the hostess, watching the crusts of her roll being carried away. “But it was such a marvellous tea”, said the first, and without relaxing her reminiscent smile she plunged into an account of the latest measures of the Food Adminis- trator. DRILLS WITH LIFE PRESERVERS ee SAFE CROSSING FOR MEMBERS OF FACULTY Life belt drills even more amusing, by all accounts, than college midnight fire-drills were a feature of the recent crossing of the Chicago, on which M.

Padé, Pourésy, Fabin, Schoell, and Chalufour, graduate stu- dents returned last week from France. The ship was manned with 75 guns and escorted for one whole day by a subma- rine-chaser.

The way in which English men and women carried on the difficult living of usual days in unusual times, is the most inspiring memory, brought home by one American. In one household there, then, and later, when one son was invalided, one killed in France, and the third at Gallipoli, the sparkling tea-tray is brought in at five, the usual vacations are taken, and in those familiar ways, there ap- peared to be some steadying comfort. Harry Lauder, not long after his son had fallen, went back on to the stage, and sang in his heartening rollicksome voice, “The boys will come marching home”. If some of the actresses at May Day should have heavy hearts, they will not be the first, who, in spite of them, have danced and smiled. May Day remains one of the most ex- quisite memories of one’s college life. It is more than an aggregation of cos- tumes, arrangements, tickets’ and pro- ceeds. It is of value, as anything beau- tiful is. In this year of horrors, such things should be guarded and given, with spscial care, because men and women and even children should be made to for- get for a few hours the burden of the war, and freshen their spirits with the sight of a spring festival. If there was any- thing’ really bacchanalian or unbridled about it, I could see the inadvisability of it for this year, but Bacchus himself, in my time, acted with such artistic feeling that those who should know found only edification in his maudlin revel (he was president of the Christian Association in natural life). If perchance the May Queen should have a brother missing, she would know that he could be prouder of her smiling on that day than he would of many weeds.

HARVARD MINOR SPORTS HIT Only Rookies in Eli Freshmen Football! Minor sports at Harvard have suffered | even more from the war than the major branches, according to the New York Times. Golf, wrestling, swimming, la- crosse, and gymnastic teams, all features of fall athletics in past years, have not been formed. An effort is being made to get the soccer players together, but the fencing team is the only one in the minor class yet organized. At New Haven, class teams have been formed for a series of interclass football games. Only men enrolled in military or naval training will be allowed to repre- sent Yale in the Freshman games against Harvard and Princeton.

The Tea IS ENTER TENNIS TOURNAMENT Daily Hockey Practice at Twelve BRILLIANT ATHLETIC RECORDS BEHIND NEW BOARD MEMBERS Leah Feder, Mt. Holyoke '17, Chairman An athletic board pro tem., composed of five former college athietes, has been slected by the graduate students to or- janize graduate athletics and to consult with the board of the Athletic Associa- ‘ion, in accordance with a motion car- ‘ied at the last meeting of the Associa- tion. The constitution of the Graduate Slub, which provides only for an athletic nanager having no connection with the \thletic Association, must be changed »Xefore permanent elections can be made. Miss Leah Feder, chairman of the Xoard, speaking of plans for the autumn, ‘aid to a News reporter: “The graduates ‘ave entered into athletics with very sood spirits. There is hockey every day ut twelve, while those who can’t come at 100n practice with the lower teams of the ‘undergraduates. Later, we hope to have ‘he gymnasium one evening a week for. basket-ball, dancing, and a general good time”. A graduate tennis tournament has been started with thirteen entries and there will be an opportunity for those who have not been authorized to take swimming ‘essons. Each of the five members of the board has a long athletic record. Miss Feder, the chairman, Mt. Holyoke 1917, made class hockey and track and was substi- tute on her class basket-ball team. Miss Geneva Drinkwater, University of Missouri 1917, was on her varsity hockey, basket-ball, baseball, and hiking teams, and a winner of the “M” sweater, to wear which 100 points must be gained in ath- letics, 10 points being given whenever a varsity team is made. Miss Grace Hawk, Brown University 1917, made varsity basket-ball, was class bowling captain her Senior year, and made second team in class tennis. Miss Drusilla Flather, also of Brown 1917, was varsity bowling captain, and made her class team in hasket-ball. Miss Helen Ross, Class of 1911, University of Missouri, made var- sity serub in basket-ball. THE POWER OF SUGGESTION A new minor sport for Bryn Mawr has been suggested by the Freshman, who, when asked her opinion of the gymna- ‘ium, naively remarked. “Oh, the part I like best is the bicycle track”!

Seaton a Be a tight-rope”, said Dr. Jonathan C. Day, of the Labor Temple, New York, speak- ing in Chapel Sunday night. The aim of the Labor Temple in allowing the white- goods strikers and others to meet in the church and helping them in.their fight for better wages, better conditions, and better hours is to be prodigal of service and not regardful of return in serving the community. Mr. Day, when he took over the church, found 600,000 people in the vicinity, only 20,000 of whom were Americans. “The average attendance at midweek prayer- meetings was a baker’s dozen of men en- tirely surrounded by women”. To-day there are 1600 in the Sunday-school and the work of Americanization has taken on tremendous proportions. Souls Saved at $1.50 a Head “Rating pie in the sky when we die”, is the radicalist’s version of what the church offers. The conciliation of the conservative and radical elements is the most difficult problem the Labor Temple is confronted with. Reproached by a staid Presbyterian elder for allowing 550 I. W. W.’s to sleep in the church, Mr. Day reported himself as saying: “This church was built in 1850 and has been slept in ever since, so why not continue’? Arrested in some guerilla warfare go- ing on between strikers and _ strike- breakers Mr. Day was locked up with “more good-natured drunks than you ever saw before” and jumping into his car, the subway, went up to the night court to be tried. Unconvehtional ways must be used, said Mr: Day, to keep in touch with unconventional people.

Each girl, out of the total proceeds, earned about $6, or six cents an hour. “All this is put into an outdoor per- formance which amounts to a gamble. Last time the proceeds fell to $4000 from a possible $7000, on account of rain. That was a pretty expensive shower at $3000”. Possible Substitutes Suggested Various substitutes for May Day, such as Varsity dramatics, were enthusiastic- ally attacked and defended. C. Dodge "18 cited figures from 1918’s Junior-Senior Supper Play to prove that no play given in the gymnasium could even approxi- mate May Day as a financial success. M. Rupert "18 argued that May Day would only serve to make Bryn Mawr the chan- nel for war relief gifts which would prob- ably be given anyway. L. Hodges 18 suggested that interest in surgical dress- ings and other purely voluntary activities might flag with the advance of the sem- ester, whereas if May Day were at- tempted a definite goal would be set to call forth everyone's best efforts.

NEWS IN BRIEF Dr. Joseph Clark Hoppin, a former Bryn Mawr professor, is taking Dr. Rhys Carpenter’s: work in Classical Archsol- ogy this year. Dr. Hoppin was at Bryn Mawr from 1899 to 1904, and has re-| cently been doing research work. He has given up a plan of going to France this year to come to Bryn Mawr, regarding his post here as “part of his war work”. Miss Florence Peebles has been ap- pointed.-Associate Professor of Physiol- ogy. Miss Peebles received her A.B. from the Woman’s College of Baltimore in 1895, and her Ph.D. from Bryn Mawr in 1900. As holder of the Mary E. Gar- rett Buropean Fellowship she was Scholar of the Woman’s Tablp in the Zoological Station, Naples, 1898-99. Ruth Driver Rock ex-’19, has a daugh- ter, born last Saturday. L. Kellogg and H. Wortman have been elected song-mistresses for 1920. The class also elected a committee to write its songs — M. Ballou, M Littell, N. Offutt, B. Weaver, D. Rogers, and E. Brace. A. Thorndike has been elected 1919's song-mistress. Miss R. Hibbard and Miss Inez Neterer, graduate students, are working at the Community Center this year. Miss Hib- bard is assistant to the director, H. Sniith "10, and Miss Neterer is to organ- ize the children’s clubs. : New printed cut-cards have been de- signed by this year’s undergraduate ex- ecutives for each student as an aid to greater accuracy in the cut registration, and are being given out as fast as they are made. On account of its greater size, Denbigh sitting-rooni rather than Pembroke West will be the meeting-place this year of the Junior Class., Pembroke West, however, will be the scene of the class elections to-day. E, McDonald "39 is the new head proc- tor of Radnor in place of E. Marquand, who has moved to Ldysyfran. the college be canvassed before, instead of after, the items on the budget are de- cided upon. There is a possibility also that the proceeds of the canvass, which will be made in about two weeks, will be divided simply into three parts: War Relief, Foreign Missions, and Home Mis- sions. Formerly each item has been sep- arately listed. ; M. Tyler '19, reporting for the Maids’ Committee, urged the need of additional teachers for the maids’ Sunday-school, which begins directly after Thanksgiving. It is hoped, said Miss Tyler, that the maids’ Red Cross work-shop opened at the Community Center last year will go on as usual. A final report from E. Houghton 18, on the work of the Belgian Relief Commit- tee last spring, showed a total of $3234.77 sent in three months by the undergradu- ates and the alumnzw.to Mr. Hoover. The cabinet will meet monthly on Wednesday night at 7.30, the meetings to be open to all. The Dansant Introduces War Work. Old Newspapers Will Make Trench Candles. Work Room is Open Nightly Nearly 200 people, including a number of schoolgirls from Miss Wright’s, danced to the music of 1920’s orchestra at the War Relief week-end thé dansant in the gymnasium last Saturday afternoon. Sub-committee members, who sold ice- cream cones, wore the white working veils of the Red Cross, “5500 yards of gauze await your fin- gers”, said M. Strauss ’18, Senior Execu- tive on the War Relief Committee, speak- ing on Red Cross plans for the year, dur- ing the intermission. ‘The work room will be open, and we hope full, five nights a week. We will work on the new dress- ings, which are simpler than those we made last year. The wool we plan to have on sale may be paid for and re- turned to us or sent to individual sol- diers”. Trench candles, made from old news- papers and boiled in paraffin, will be the charge of H. Hobbs ’18, Pembroke West. She will give instructions in folding the candles, and will boil them herself. These candles burn with a smokeless flame so hot that over three of them water may be boiled in twenty minutes. Movies, under the direction of last year’s manager, M. Martin ‘19, who has offered her services, may be given again this year for the benefit of War Relief. CALENDAR Thursday, October 18 4.15 p. m.—Interclass Tennis Finals.
