SIREN STARTLES CAMPUS

 

Miss Crandall’s Chimney Raises Alarm

Roused from studies and work last
Thursday afternoon by the shriek of the
power. house siren and the ringing of
Taylor bell, Faculty, students, and em-
ployees thronged the campus searching
for the fire. :

The “trained fire fighting brigade”
rushed to the scene of action in Low
Buildings, but by that time Miss Cran-
dall’s chimney, the cause of the excite-
ment, had ceased to smoke, and the
crowd withdrew, with its craving for sen-
sation still unsatisfied.

FAILURES IN SENIOR GERMAN
SHATTER ALL KNOWN RECORDS

TWO MERITS HELP RAISE STANDARD

 

 

Senior “writtens’, both in French and
German, have taken a toll of more vic-
tims than were ever claimed by the most
rapacious of orals. 58.16 per cent, or 32
out of 55, was the rate of failure. posted
last Thursday for the first German, as
compared with 58.08 per cent for the first
French. Two made merit in German, H.
Schwarz and G. Reymershoffer, and 38.18
per cent (21) passed.

The nearest approach to this record
was made by the Class of 1916 when
53.22 per cent failed. Last year 52.38
per cent failed, I. Haupt making the only
merit; but in 1914 the rate was as low as
42.85 per cent with one credit.

Twelve Seniors have now passed both
French and German. A number, how-
ever, were disqualified from taking the
first examinations on account of not hav-
ing completed their summer reading.

The committees of Dr. Beck, Dean
Maddison, and Miss Donnelly, for French,
and Dr. Jessen, Dr. Frank (serving for
Dr. De Haan), and—Dr.- Marion__Parris
Smith, for German, are permanent and
will correct all the papers throughout the
year. The second Senior examination in
French will be December 8th, with the
eGerman a week after on the 15th.

Results of the first German examina-
tion:

Merit—Reymershoffer, Schwarz.

FIRST FRENCH CLUB TEA

WELCOMES FRENCH GRADUATES.

 

Lieutenant Morize Scheduled to Speak

 

Attended by Dr. Eunice Schenck, M.
Beck and M. Vatar, the French graduate
students, and the Freshmen hoping to
join the club, the First French Club tea
last Thursday welcomed about forty peo-
ple in the parlor of Denbigh. A business
meeting was held directly before the tea,
at which J. Peabody 19 was elected vice-
president.

Lieutenant Morize, one of the French
officers who trained the Harvard Officers’
Reserve Corps, will come to Bryn Mawr
later in the year, under the auspices of
French Club, to give a talk on the life of
an officer at the front.

  
 

 

TRIES METTLE OF VARSITY

Alumne Scare Bryn Mawr in Last
Minutes Bring Final Score to 5-4

In a hard-fought match Varsity won its
annual contest from the Alumne last
Wednesday afternoon by one_ point.
Throughout the game both teams hit
hard, but so far ahead that very little
good passing was seen. The fine playing
of the Varsity wings achieved victory,
though the Undergraduates had a bad
seare in the last ten minutes and their
lead of four points was almost: wiped out
by the alumne scoring three goals in
quick succession.

The alumne team was made up of
many former stars, and its chief fault, a
lack of teamwork, was only to be ex-
pected. H. Kirk ’14, M. Kirk’’10, J. Katz-
enstein '06, A. Hawkins ’07, B. Ehlers ‘09,
M. Nearing ’09, M. Willard ’17, H. Harris
‘17, and M. Thompson ’17, most of them
at their regular posts, all played on Var-
sity when in college. M. Nearing and M.
Thompson are former Varsity captains.
M. Nearing has the distinction of being
one of the few Bryn Mawr players who
has really mastered the difficult “lunge
stroke”. J. Katzenstein, a member of
the Lansdowne team, and A. Hawkins
(warden of Merion), a member of the
Germantown team, have both played sev-
eral years for All-Philadelphia.

M. Tyler 19 Stars at Wing

The feature of the game was the work
of M. Tyler '19 at left wing. Time after
time she dribbled the ball past her oppo-
nents for long gains. Three of Varsity’s
five goals she shot herself and on her
most spectacular run she carried the ball
from almost her own 25-yard line past an
alumne halfback and two fullbacks to the
goal, where K. Bickley ’21 shot it in.

Three First Goals for Varsity

The fight started off in Alumne terri-
tory, and the strength of Varsity’s for-
ward line is shown by the score they
made against the strong Alumne defense.
After a hard scrimmage G, Hearne shot

WAR COUNCIL MEETS TO-NIGHT

 

With Dean Taft and Dr. Frank as the
two Faculty representatives, Miss Martha
Thomas and Miss Dimon as the Alumne
representatives, and Miss Orlady as the
Staff representative on the Advisory
Board, the organization of the War Coun-
cil is well under way.

At its first meeting to-night, there will
be elected a permanent chairman and the
heads of the departments, Food Conser-
vation, Food Production, Red Cross and
Allied Relief, Liberty Loan, Social Agen-
cies, Education, and a_ possible finance
department.

DISTRESS IN ITALY CULMINATES
IN FALL OF MINISTRY

 

FOOD RIOTS RRECEDE OVERTHROW |

 

Specially Contributed by Dr. Frank

‘“Dr. Tenney Frank, Professor of Latin,
who returned this fall to ‘Bryn Mawr
from a year’s leave of absence at the
American. Academy in Rome, spoke in
chapel, Wednesday, October 3ist, on
Italy’s difficulties in the war. His own
account of the talk, written specially for
the News, follows:

“Ttaly needs one-hundred million-bush-
els of wheat from us, that is to say, one
large cargo every day till harvest time.
The daily ration of the workingmen has

 

ulready been seriously reduced; and the |

resulting distress, together with the fear
that the government had failed to secure

‘the necessary promises from us, led -to

riots which contributed, in large measure,
to the overthrow of an excellent ministry.

EVOLUTION OF WAR COUNCIL
"TRACED IN “NEWS” FILES

First Officially Connected This Year
_ With The American Red Cross

The first mention of war work at Bryn
Mawr appears in an appeal printed in
the College News for October 8, 1914,
written by Emily Noyes '15, now an Ing-
lish reader here, and E. Rapallo ’15. The
letter urges that students go to a subse-
quent Undergraduate Meeting and sup-
port a measure for giving class plays for
the benefit cf the Red Cross, and that
they apply to the authors for “info: ma-
tion about the making of germents”. A
similar letter in the next numbor of the
News makes an appeal for refugees and
asks people to apply to Susan F. Nichols
‘15, also an English reader now.

“A general Red Cross movement” had
been voted the support of the Undergrad-
uate Association by October 12th “by
charging admission to class plays, by con-
tributing money which would otherwise

 

have gone into concerts, and by sewing ~

on the garments needed by the Red Cross
and refugees”. The Senior members of a
“Red Cross” committee were appointed
and an organization loosely connected
with the Undergraduate Association was
fairly started. It had no connection with
the American Red Cross: a
The Committee of Mercy, the first sub-
committee of the college “Red Cross”, to
lend help to the refugees and non-com-
batants, was formed by three Seniors in
December, 1914, one of them S, Nichols
16.

‘resident room of Rockefeller, co

trains.__The-soldiers—at—the front never
have the assurance that the supply will
not fail. ?

“There are also difficulties of a political
nature. For instance, the present house
of deputies, elected in 1913 during a tem-
porary reaction, is unusually deficient in
progressive, constructive, and aggressive
men. The aristocracy is still largely in-
different, since many of the noble fam-
ilies, which also hold much of Italy’s
land, have refused to become reconciled
with the government under the House of
Savoy. Finally, in a few sections of Italy,

not yet found a welcome. Naturally, the
regiments from these districts cannot al-
ways be depended upon. German spies
readily find the weak spots in the line
and tell the enemy where to attack.
“Despite all this, the morale of the
army is in general excellent, and the
great mass of Italians are determined to
fight with the Allies till their common

aims are secured. The new cabinet an- -

nounced to-day is strong. Orlando has
secured the services of Sonnino, a bril-
liant statesman, universally trusted, and
from the Clerical and Socialist parties

he has chosen Meda and Bissolati, the
leaders of the pro-war factions. There is

also good reason to believe that the re-
treat will end soon, for if the enemy has
not penetrated farther than the Udine to-
day Cadorna can probably save his army
and reform behind the Tagliamento”.

 

“Italy and the War” was also the sub-
ject of Dr. Frank’s talk at the History
Club Tea in Pembroke East last Thurs-
day.

MENT ORDERS. LEAVES AT
ONCE FOR CAPITOL

Called by the Treasury Department at
Washington to lecture training
camps and to act as councillor to the
camp commanders on the subject of the
new military and naval insurance act, Dr.
Charles Fenwick, Associate Professor of
Political Science, left Bryn Mawr Tues-
day night for a period of about three
weeks. At the conference in Washing-
ton yesterday Dr. Fenwick learned at
what camps he was to lecture and the
further details of the Government. order.

The new insurance act provides auto-
|}matically that men in the service receive
life, sickness, or accident insurance when
| it is due them, instead of having to apply
|to their Congressmen for pensions. The
| pension system, which created such havoc
| under President Grant, has always. been
| too closely connected with politics to give
anything resembling satisfaction.

“Early to Bed, Early to Rise . ..”

Killing the Freshmen with kindness is
an unexpected reproach to lay at the
doors of the upperclassmen and Sopho-
mores. It seems hardly fair to blame the
welcoming parties of the older classes for
the sins of 1921, itself not the first
Freshman c'!acs to burn the midnight oil.
Freedom from parental restraint or board-
ing school regulations seems every year
to go temporarily to youthful heads. But
the longer we are in college the more
sleep we manage to get. In this respect
at least we grow wiser as we grow older.
It would be a pity then to inflict « Jights-
out rule on three classes who can be
trusted to use their discretion for the an-
nual benefit of those not yet adjusted to
college life. Such a rule for Freshmen
alone would be almost as bad. It is up to
1921 to acquire quickly a little premature

wisdom and save Bryn Mawr from an in-
fringement of that personal liberty that
marks the difference between college and
boarding school.

 

 

Before It Is Too Late

What the first week of quizzes is to
bring forth in marks it is difficult to say.
What it has brought forth in attendance
at the Red Cross workroom is startlingly
evident. Thirteen, literally a baker's
dozen, was the average attendance last
week. This may show a laudable change
of heart toward study. The vision rises
of every undergraduate room bright (or
smoky) with midnight oil, and of three
or four candidates for the European Fel-
lowship, each so brilliant that the selec-
tion of one is defied. Then comes the
actual appearance of the workless work-
room. How may these two be recon-
ciled?

Parallelism gives a clue. Studying and
Red Cross may be concomitant, without
interacting to the detriment of either.
“We haven't time”, the familiar cry rises
from every side. “Take the time”, is the
answer, not from academic work, but
from tea parties; not from preparation
for quizzes, but from unnecessary trips
to town.

“Take the time now’. In Tuesday’s pa-
pers appeared the first casualty list.

_ We voted down May Day two weeks | bed”, wrote Henri Larroque, a sergeant in
the 418me, who ‘was wounded last No-

 

ago because we wanted to give up every-

| thing and bend all our energies toward
War Relief. We have abolished class

plays on that account and we did away.
with the seats on Lantern Night in order
not to waste material in war times. Oc-
casionally, we spend an evening rolling
bandages; we are having meatless and
wheatless days and we think that we are
doing everything in our power for the
war.

But we are under a sad delusion. As
long as there are three or four parties
during the week, breakfast parties on
Sunday morning and teas Sunday after-
noon, we are not giving to War Relief
until it hurts. President Wilson said
that we must give until it hurts and when
we bought Liberty Bonds we expected to
feel “hurt”, A few of us are, but the ma-
jority still feels the hurt of indigestion
more. Which comes first, our “ry or
ourselves?

Logical.

To the Editor of The College News:

stress put on “college spirit”. This state
of affairs is brought about largely by
Sophomore rules. Why should Fresh-
men be compelled to treat a Sophomore,
sometimes younger than she, with the
same deference she would use to an older
woman; and why should a Freshman
need to fee) flattered if a fellow-student,
who chances to have been here a little
longer than she, condescéends to smile
upon her?

Through the co-operation of President
Thomas and the Suffrage Club Dr. Anna
Howard Shaw has been secured to ad-
dress the college, November 23d, on the
subject of women’s work in connection
with the present war. For the last six

for National Defense.

The sending of a delegate to the con-
ference of the League of Equal Suffrage
in Washington, December 15th, has been
approved by President Thomas and will
be done provided an invitation is re-
ceived.

The Science Club had reserved Novem-

their inspiration to write brilliant themes

CENSUS OF WAR CAPABILITIES

 

Registration Will Go On This Week

A war registration of the effective
woman power of the college, proposed as
one of the activities of the War Council,
was precipitated last week by the Gov-
ernor proclaiming November Ist and 2d
State registration days. Cards made out
by the Women’s Committee of the Coun-
cil of National Defense were distributed
in the halls and filled out under the di-
rection of the wardens. In order to get
the complete census which the Govern-
ment asks for, it will be necessary to ex-
tend the time of registration through this
week, as many students failed to register
during the two days appointed.

Immediate service, such as can be ren-
dered on campus or nearby without in-
terfering with college work, is the prac-
tical end of this registration. Duplicate
or even the original cards of all the stu-
dents will probably be kept and filed by
a committee of the War Council. On re-
turning to their homes in the spring, stu-
dents will take their cards with them and
exchange them for the registration cards
of their own district.

Faint Hope of Aviation

“IT do not think there is much likelihood
of a course in aviation being given; on
the other hand, there is a tremendous de-
mand for stenographers, and a _ stenog-
raphy course could easily be arranged”,
said Mrs. Wood, executive secretary of
the Women’s Committee of the Council
for National Defense, to a News reporter.
The whole object of the registration, she
explained, was to furnish a record of the
college’s capabilities and inclinations as
a basis for the work of the War Council.

Dean Maddison has registration cards
in her office for all those who have not
yet filled them out.

$48 EARNED BY STUDENT LABOR

| Average Wag $1.20 on First Pay Day

On its first pay day, October 25th, the
Athletic Association paid out $48.60 for
194 hours of student labor on the fields
and tennis courts. The sums paid to in-
dividual students ranged from $.25 up to
$6, and the average amount earned by
each of the forty workers on the payroll
of the Association was about $1.zv.

Several students are earning the weekly
payments on their Liberty Bonds by work-
ing for the Association.

“The Germans are fighting not the

said Dr. Alfred P. Fitch, ex-president of

France last summer, giving an account of
what he found there after his sermon last

WANTS EVERYTHING BUT DUST,
~ SAYS-MISS: APPLEBEE, IN- SPEECH |

 

Miss Applebee, of the Junk*Commit-
tee, and B. Sorchan ‘19, of the Sewing
Committee, speaking at the Philanthropic
Party in the gymnasium last Saturday
night, inspired their audience to abandon
the use of waste baskets in favor of junk
bags.

“Junk wants everything you can spare
except dust and dead flowers”, said Miss
Applebee. “We will go the rounds of the
halls once a week this year collecting
junk, and after the monthly sorting we
will send the best things to France or Bel-
gium, sweaters and warm things to Bates

 

Marseillaise after two years of servitude. |
Dr. Fitch was doubtful that the war |
would be over in two years.
Assails Bryn Mawr Provincialism
Provincialism, Dr. Fitch took as the
subject for his sermon, differentiating
between the fresh provincialism that puts |
a boy from the log cabin into the White
House, and that of the “scholastic young
woman who is about as broad as a knife
edge”. “Some of you are abominably
stuck on yourselves”, he said, “and no hu-
man being is stuck on himself unless he
be totally ignorant, or devoid of a sense
of humor”.

“The kind of provincial we thank God
for’, said Dr. Fitch, “is he who never
grows up, but still keeps a child-like
sense of values. At college you should
get so wide a human contact that you
come back to the scale of values you
started from. The best I can wish you |
is that you get so much out of college |
that no one will know you have been in

ARTILLERY SHELLS CANARY BIRD
NEARLY REVEALS BRITISH PLANS
The story of how one canary bird threw

a whole division of British troops into

consternation has been brought back

from the front by Dr. Robert Davis, of

Sunday evening Chapel a year ago. Dr.
Davis has returned to the United States
to lecture at the Officers’ Training Camps
on the activities of the Red Cross in Eu- |
rope.

At a point on the northeastern sector |
of the line, the British were mining be- |
neath the German trenches, and kept sev-
eral singing canaries in the excavations |
to warn the workers of the presence of
fire damp, which is fatal to the songsters. |
One of these birds escaped, and alighting |
on a bush in the middle of No Man’s |
Land, began to sing lustily. If discovered

 

4

by the Boches its presence would give |:

away thd whole secret of the sappers.
Infantry and sharpshooters tried in vain |
to destroy the canary, and it was finally
necessary to call upon the artillery to
“blow bird, bush and song into nothing-
ness”.

or sticks we sell to pay the committee’s
freight expenses, to raise money for a
Chinese scholarship, and to get $7 to put

Miss Applebee went on to tell how
gratefully the poor gifts of junk were re-
ceived, especially in the Southern colored
schools. She spoke of the comfort gained
during the winters by owners of cast-off
college bathing suits, and of the evolu-
tion of a ragged burlap curtain into first
a junk bag, and then winter suits for two
little girls. Tennis balls, “as dead as
a door-nail’, when transformed by red
ink, were received with great joy, she
said, and shreds of old silk petticoats
were used to trim hats.

 

Any Freshman who would like to be on
the Junk Committee is asked to speak to

AVERAGE AT WORKROOM FLAGS

 

Red Cross Caps and Aprons Arrive

 

Only 898 dressings were folded at the
Red Cross workroom last week, and the
workers averaged exactly a baker’s dozen,
in contrast to the totals of over a thou-
sand dressings and twice as many work-
ers in the previous weeks. Seven work-
ers made 100 dressings last Friday, Lan-
tern Night.

Twenty Red Cross caps and aprons; or-
dered the first of October, have come, and
are being sold at $1.50 an outfit. Caps
and aprons, some belonging to the work-
room and some to individuals, are now
kept at the room for workers every night.

Red Cross Fuses with Belgian Relief |

This fall, after the Government loan to |
Belgium, this committee joined with the |
“Red Cross” in a double “War Relief |
Committee” of the Christian Association, |
which established for the first time con-
nection with the American Red Cross.
Under it the workroom was transplanted |
to Merion and kept openevery night, The |
work has been much more rigidly in- |
spected than formerly, wool has been dis- |
tributed, and the making of trench can- |
dies and leather waistqoats started, and
100 comfort kits have been packed and |
sent to France.

As the functions of this committee be- |
came more general and more numerous,
and the war work seemed to necessitate |

more than workroom activities, plans for

establishing a war council on a wider |
basis were formulated and two weeks ago

at a student mass meeting the present |

war council, which includes Faculty,
Staff, and Alumna, came into existence.

Two ‘Brya Mawr alumne, c. Kellen 16

and F. Kellogg '16, and one former stu-
dent, A. Richards ex-'18, sail for France

next Wednesday on the “Chicago”, under

a Red Cross Surgical Dressings Unit.
Standard Red Cross dressings are made
on this side, but the members of the Unit
will make special dressings for rush
orders.

“We promise to work anywhere in
France or Belgium”, said Miss Richards
in the course of an interview, “but we
shall probably stay in Paris”. Miss Rich-
ards has signed up with the Unit for six
months and at the end of her time may
work in an aviation hospital.

 

The “Chicago” is the French liner
which has carried so many American
Ambulance men. The Princeton Unit
crossed on it last April.

LANTERN CEREMONY SHORTENED

 

Red Lanterns Effective in Dusk

The Lantern Night ceremony was
shortened this year, in accordance with
a vote of the Senior Class, by abolishing
the Freshman procession through the
halls and by cutting down the singing
under the Arch. Class songs for ten
years back were simply asked for and
the absent class cheered, instead of each
song being sung by the Seniors as has
been done before. Originally on Lantern
Night class songs were sung from the
first class down.

The ceremony in the Cloister was un-
changed. Led by M. Foot, Freshman
President, and L. Reinhardt, song-mis-
tress, 1921 acquitted itself well in the
singing of “Over the Way to the Sacred
Shrine”. The red lanterns carried by the
Sophomores in long procession were most
effective and the Sophomore singing of
“Pallas Athene” excellent, but for a
slight difficulty at first in keeping to-
gether. 1920 was led by L. Kellogg, song-
mistress, and by BE. Wight.

The scaffolding on the cloister roof was
reduced this year to a mere platform
wide enough for two rows of people to
stand on, in accordance with a vote of the
Undergraduate Association to cut down
