No. 24 BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 1923 Price 10 Cents CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION INFORMALLY DISCUSSED Speakers Debate Question of Re- ligious or Ethical Basis for C. A. A NEW PLEDGE IS PROPOSED —__ “To discover what the College thinks the Christian Association should be” was the purpose of the informal debate and gen- eral discussion held on Denbigh Green last Sunday morning. The four speakers, E. Rhoads ’23, E. Howe ’24, J. Gregory ’25, and JD. whether the Christian Association should have a defi- Smith ’26 discussed nitely religious, or a. purely ethical, basis, with an ideal of service. Miss Gregory, who spoke first, felt that neither the Christian Association or its entrance pledge, meant a great deal at pres- ent. She suggested that the remedy might be found by a change of basis. Since a purely religious stand, where religion im- plies “a duty to God, and a system of faith and worship,” would exclude all atheists or agnostics, she recommended that the Association be given up in favor of a Social Service Bureau, while Chapel serv- ices be arranged by a committee of the Undergraduate Association. Miss Howe, also defending the ethical basis, said that the Christian Association should include the three clases of people in College, the people with dogmatic relig- ion, those with a broader religion, and those with no religion at all. She agreed with Miss Gregory that “while it is not possible to unite people in spiritual ideals, it is possible to unite them through work.” She therefore proposed an _ association based on service, but with some oppor- tunity for discussion of religious questions. Miss Rhoads and Miss Smith, defend- ing the spiritual basis, laid their chief: em- phasis on the fact that the greatest in- spiration to “good deeds” is spiritual be- lief. Miss Smith said that she felt the religious basis was to be by far the broader, because it included both the service and the spiritual ideals. If the social service basis was accepted, she suggested, an or- ganization might spring up, purely relig- ious, and rather narrow, because it would lack the humanitarian work which is bound The College should have, which, up with religion. she felt, while stressing service, would not overlook that God and_= service are a Christian Association, the fact inseparable. In the discussion which followed, general opinion seemed to be that the Christian Association should continue to be a sep- arate organization; that membership should be based on a pledge to follow the ex- ample set by the life of Christ, each mem- ber to interpret it personally. This pledge, a great part of the meeting felt, would prove acceptable both to the people who believe only in the value of Christ’s ethics, and not in His divinity; and also to the It would religious people who consider Him divine. embody both the service and ideals.

GLEE CLUB TO GIVE “PATIENCE” NEXT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY “Patience,” an operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan, will be given by the Bryn Mawr Club for the benefit of the Music Department, on May 11 and 12, in the Gymnasium at eight o'clock. Satire of the “aesthetic”? movement of nineteenth century England fills every line of the operetta, brilliant satire that helped greatly to cure the country of the “move- ment.” Glee Bunthorne, the fleshly poet,” is a take-off on Oscar Wilde, who would “walk down Picadilly with a poppy or a lily in his mediaeval hand,” and the whole play, even down to Bunthorne’s costume, was aimed especially at Wilde. The scene is laid outside Castle Bun- thorne, and the time is left entirely to the imagination. M. Minott ’24, will play “Patience,” and K. Conner ’24, is the hero. Other important parts will be taken by B. Constant ’24, K. Strauss ’23, H. Humphreys 23, and K. Raht ’23. ANNUAL LECTURE IN MEMORY OF ANN SHEBLE GIVEN Career of Countess of Pembroke Described by Dr. Schelling “Sidney’s Sister, Pembroke’s Mother,” was the title of the first Ann Elizabeth Sheble Memorial lectures, given by Dr. Felix Schelling, Professor of English Literature at the University of |Pennsyl- vania, in Taylor Hall last Friday evening. This lecture is the first of the annual lec- tures to be given on some phase of Eng- lish literature, preferably poetry, in memory of Ann Sheble, of the class of 1923. “Of all the Elizabethan women in their dignity and their place as patrons of the arts,” said Dr. Schelling, none so fulfilled the requirements of a patron, a writer, and an encourager of letters as Mary Sidney, Countess of Pembroke, Sir Philip’s sister, and the mother of the Earls of Pembroke and of Montgomery, the two noble patrons to whom the first folio of Shakespeare’s plays was dedicated. Her connections with men of letters were many, since she moved in the center of that circle of brilliant men and women who attempted to put into prac- ice the literary principles which had been set forth by Sidney. She was the collabo- rator and reviser of the Arcadia, which Sidney named for her; and her patronage sustained such poets as Michael Drayton, Samuel Daniel, and William Browne.” According to Dr. Schelling, the position of women in Elizabethan times was not at all degraded, as is commonly supposed; that came later the Stuarts. The lady of the Tudor period had a rigorous education in Greek, Latin, and mathematics, as Lady Jane Grey could have testified. Elizabeth was famous for her wit and knowledge, but she was not the only clever woman of her time. with as we see from Shakespeare’s replicas. Three things were unknown to them, the gallantry of the Restoration which made every man a “Nimrod,’ and every woman a “chaste Diana,” the morbid senti- mentalism of introspection, the misan- thropic cynicism that came with James. From all this Lady Mary was free. Of noble ancestry, Philip, Mary, and_ their brothers and sisters passed their childhood in comparative poverty. While very young, Mary married the Earl of Pembroke, and strangely enough, considering their inequal- ity in age and the fact that the bride’s wishes were hardly consulted, the marriage was a very happy one. The two spent much of their fortune sending young men to the universities. Mary’s brother, Philip Sidney, is famous CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 Elizabethan ladies | took life and faith into their own hands, | life-like | FOREIGN STUDENTS SPEND WEEK-END AT BRYN MAWR, DISCUSS YOUTH MOVEMENT AT INFORMAL MEETINGS Lined ASSOCIATION ELECTS ELIZABETH HOWE PRESIDENT Elizabeth Howe ’24, and Suzanne Lee- witz ’24, were elected president and vice- president respectively of the Athletic Association at a meeting in Taylor Hall last Wednesday.

In addition to being class water polo captain her Sophomore and Junior years, Miss Leewitz has been manager of water polo on the Athletic Association Board this last year. MONSIEUR'FERMIN ROZ SPEAKS ON FRENCH YOUTH OF TO-DAY Youth of To-Day and That of A Century Ago Essentially The Same Speaking on “La Jeunesse Francaise D’aujourdhui” Monsieur Fermin Roz, As- sociate Director of l’Office National des Universitiés and des Ecoles Francaises, gave a lecture under the auspices of the French Club in Rockefeller Hall last Wed- nesday night. “It seems to me that French youth has not changed for almost a century,” began M. Roz. “It has the same literary tastes and the great difference that is apparent between the youth of today and the youth of a century ago lies in external appear- ance. The circumstances of life have changed; the present day atmosphere is hard and brutal; the war with all its dis- illusion has made a great change. How- ever, the youth of France is not prostrated by this; on the contrary, it is trying to ameliorate conditions as fast as possible. Many professions lie open and young men do not consult their tastes or the traditions of their family, but seek to find a position at once. I is natural that they should no longer be carefree. “Several important questions lie before this French youth. First of all there is the matter of politics. Our young men have not studied industrial problems,” de- clared M. Roz, “and do not consider polit- They do not like to discuss religion, holding it as an entirely personal matter. However, there is one group of students who are interested in the effect of religion on social problems. “The young girl,’ continued M. Roz, “has come to be more like her brother. For- merly educated in convents, she now has the same education as the boys- Girls de- mand this education in order to get good positions.” According to Monsieur Roz the war is responsible for much of this change. Few families have the means they once had and it has become necessary for the girl as well as her brother to work for the maintenance of herself and her parents. The result of this is tending to make the French girl more of an _ indi- vidualist than she was when her person- ality was absorbed by her family. ical questions important. “Griffin,” a light grey Police dog, has been presented to President Park by D.

Apparently the German Youth Movement has been more definitely formulated than the Danish. Hans Tiesler outlined its de- velopment as a romantic movement started several years ago when there was no ma- terial need. It was more or less a revolt against the Church and against society, which had been ignoring the deepest laws of life, selfish interests becoming dominant. Imperialism had swelled like a balloon and like a balloon was empty. The protest against all this was started by some young people, who felt that the deep things of life were to be found in nature and there- fore left the cities, travelling all over Ger- many trying to live the best possible lives: Other groups of the same nature appeared, which were also aiming to discover their own attitude toward life and formulate their own opinions. When the war came they went into it as a way of expressing idealism, and a tremendous idealism was sacrificed for the Fatherland. After the war the Youth Movement grew larger than ever. About one million people belong to it today. In summing up his remarks, Hans Ties- ler said that the movement does not aim at any unified political or religious formu- las, but at a new philosophy of life. There is no attempt to make the different relig- ious and. political groups within the Move- ment think alike. Jorgen Holck explained that there is no youth movement in Denmark in the sense of the German one, but small groups are working in the same way without joining together. In the secondary schools the boys meet together for discussion, consid- ering social, religious, evolutionary and in- deed almost every kind of problem. In this way interest is kept alive. At the universities the students meet for discus- sion; but here they carry their ideas farther by attempting to bring their knowl- edge to the working man, through the Christian Student Movement, discussion clubs, and social work. In Sweden the situation is different. It is difficult to stir up interest as the Swe- dish students are, for the most part, se- cluded in the small towns, where the uni- versities are located, and do not realize the problems of the world outside. Norwegian students are more like the Danish, as their university is in a large city. According to Jorgen Holck, the American students who live in beautiful surroundings are likely to fall into the same state, of mind as the Swedish.

THE EVER-INCREASING FLOOD The old tradition that the Seniors break their hoops if anyone should fail her last chance at the orals, was given up by 1921, who, deciding that under the new system of language examinations it was too com- plicated to wait until after the second oral was given late in the spring, rolled their hoops on the first of May, regardless of custom. 1922 and 1923 have followed their lead, a very delightful one, but with a serious drawback. With the number of hoops increasing every year, as they do now, in a short time the College will be flooded with them and thus losing their ancient, revered characters, they will be- come commonplace objects. If the Seniors should go back to the old tradition next year when the “new plan” orals are begun, they could reinstate the hoop in its former position and add to its interest. FAIR EXCHANGE According to a correspondent to the New York Times, “A tremendous amount of work is still going on in the Biologic Institute (Cienna). Here the problems of transplantation have attracted the attention of a number of gifted investigaors. The pupils of Przi- bram study especially the physiology of Kop- panyi has succeeded in transplanting eyes transplanted eyes, hearts and legs. in rats, and these eyes seem to be func- tioning. At a recent meeting of the Vienna Ophthalmologic Society his experiments were vehemently attacked by the oculists, but just as vehemently defended by the physiologists. “Dr. Weiss transplanted entire limbs in amphibia, exchanging, for instance, arms and legs, and demonstrated that these trans- planted limbs functioned normally after a few days. Ina group of these animals he could even transplant whole hearts into the peritoneal cavity. These transplanted hearts obtained an organic union with the new host, the animal thus having two hearts.” In fact, it will soon be a case of which part of me is “me,’ “thee.” and which part is only NEW BOOK ROOM J. Alexander Gunn, Modern French Phil- osophy. This book, in the words of its author, is “intended to serve a double pur- pose.” “Primarily it aims at being a con- tribution to the history of thought which will provide a definite knowledge of the best that has been said and thought among philosophers in France during the last seventy years.” ‘This covers a period from Comte to Boutroux, who died about a year and a half ago, and Bergson. Further, it is in itself, an appeal for serious attention to be given to French philosophy. “The | particular manner in which the main prob- | lems presented themselves to the French thinkers of the second half of the nine- teenth century was largely determined by the events and ideas which marked the period from 1789 to 1851. For this reason a chapter has been devoted to Antecedents. 3etween the Revolution and the coup d état of Napoleon III, four distinct lines of thought are discernible. ‘Then the main currents from the year 1851 down to 1921 are described, with special reference to the development of the main problems. The reconciliation of science and conscience proved to be the main general problem, which became more definitely that of Free- dom. This in itself is intimately bound up with the doctrines of progress, of history, of ethics and religion. These topics are discussed in a manner which show their bearing upon each other. The conclusion aims at displaying the characteristics of French thought which reveal themselves in the study of these great problems. Its vitality, concreteness, clearness, brilliance and precision are noted, and a comparison made between French thought and German philosophy. From a general philosophical standpoint, few periods could be so fasci- nating. Few, if any, could show such a complete revolution of thought as that wit- nessed since the year 1851. To bring this out clearly is the main object of the present book.” Herbert Melville, The Confidence Man, His Masquerade; Israel Potter, His Fifty Years of Exile.

This life is taken mainly from the four Gospels, and, if these are taken as ade- quate sources, has a consistent factual basis. In the preface Dr. Barton explains his attitude towards his book. He says, “Our scietnific knowledge has been built up from observing facts and forming theories in accordance with them. The present writer regards it as the duty of religious teachers to produce a religious literature in which the grounds of faith are secured by the inductive method. In this book he has accordingly made an effort to follow the inductive rather than the dog- matic way confident that for the thoughtful young people of the present and the future the goal of vital faith will be more easily and surely reached by this path.” An Autobiography by Lady Elizabeth Butler. Lady Butler is an artist, a woman whose career, apart from her art, has been varied and adventurous; who has travelled widely; and associated, not only with the masters of her own craft, but with the great and eminent in many fields. Her book is, moreover, in the words of M. F. Francis, the author of its preface, “the revelation of a personality apart, at once feminine and virile, endowed with the force engendered by unswerving adherence to lofty aims.” Lady Butler, who kept a diary from the age of twelve, has written an account of her life up to the close of the Great War with a charm and vigor superior to that of her other books, and showing her as accomplished a writer as she is a painter. She is especially famous for her paintings, shown at the Royal Academy in 1873 and 1881 respectively, “The Roll Call,” and “Scotland Forever.” M. E. Francis says of her, “She is a wor- shipper of Beauty in its spiritual as well as its concrete form, and all her life she has encouraged mankind in its nobler aspect. The widow of a great soldier, during the War, Lady Butler painted pictures which shall forever immortalize the individual and yet typical spirits of bravery, nobility and pathos. Lady Butler has always given generously of her best, and perhaps this book of memories, intimate and character- istic, this record of wide interests and high endeavor, full of picturesque incident and touched with delicate humor, is as valua- ble a gift as any that she has yet bestowed. SUMMER CONFERENCE AT SILVER BAY DESCRIBED This Year’s Delegation to be Chosen From List Posted in Taylor Hall Specially Contributed “Silver Bay,’ the Y. W. C. A. ence, held every summer on Lake George, to which Bryn Mawr sends its delegation of twenty-five, will last this year from June 22 to July 2. The list has already been posted in Taylor so that those who wish confer- to go, may sign. All the North Eastern Colleges send delegations, and these together with the foreign students, among them French, Bel- gians, Czecho-Slovakian, Scandinavians, Japanese and Chinese, make in all about seven hundred. Days at Silver Bay are full. Those un- fortunate ones who are presented with green buttons start the day with breakfast at seven, while the white buttoned ones may sleep till eight. Like all other meals it affords one of the best opportunities for meeting delegates from other colleges. After Chapel there are small discussion groups, followed by a big meeting in the auditorium at which one of the leaders, last year Dr. Coffin and Dr. Fosdick, make an address. . Division meetings, at which all people on any college board or ‘committee discuss college problems and the various methods of solving them, are held just before lunch. The afternoon is devoted to rest, ath- letics and “jolly get-togethers.” In the eve- ning there is community singing and a final general meeting. Before going to bed Bryn Mawr holds their delegation meet- ings on the verandah of their shack, which is the highest on the mountain side and built over a rushing stream. At ten o’clock there is “perfect quiet.” Although the ten days there are busy ones, Silver Bay is not merely the sum total of all that one does, the people that one knows, or all that one hears and thinks. Neither is it a place to which one goes merely to settle one’s own personal opin- ions. Silver Bay gives one a broader out- look on life and the realization “that there is no place in the world for those who are indifferent and selfish.” NEWS FROM OTHER COLLEGES The present officers of the Vassar Stu- dents’ Association, the Athletic Association, and the Christian Association recently pub- lished, in the Vassar Miscellany News, the requirements which they considered neces- sary in candidates for their offices. “The President of the Students’ Association,” says the News, “should possess, of course, the usual qualities of an executive: that is ability to run an organization with com- petent handling of details as well as larger problems, and the power of working with people with a minimum amount of friction. But above all she must not be merely an executive; she should have the ability to keep so apart from details and routine that she may occupy herself with larger and more constructive problems. She should possess imagination, an endless amount of patience, and power of sustained effort, keen judgment of people, interest in every phase of college life, and a sense of humor. “Although they need not be athletes themselves, all the officers of the Athletic Association should be really interested in athletics for they are all members of the Athletic Board, whose duty it is to look after the general management of the affairs of the Association. “The President should have both execu- tive ability and initiative; executive ability as she is the executive head of the Associ- ation, and many of her duties as such call for that quality, and initiative so that she will see and make improvements in the Association throughout the year and thus really contribute something towards it. “The President of the Christian Associa- tion should be vitally interested in all its activities. She should have high ideals for the Association and good judgment in ANNUAL LECTURE IN MEMORY OF ANN SHEBLE GIVEN CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 for his Astrophel and Stella, and for the romantic circumstances of story. his own love There is no truer picture of his courtesy and gentleness than the story of how he gave the cup of water to the dying soldier, but upon occasion he could be so bold as to criticize his sovereign. In re- tirement he wrote the Countess of Pem- broke’s Arcadia, which he considered owed more to Mary’s suggestion and inspiration than to himself. Neither this work nor any of his exquisite lyrics were printed during his lifetime, since he felt that his emotions were not the business of a read- ing public. The Countess, however, cher- ished his poetry and in 1595 she procured the publication of the Arcadia, living to see five editions. Sidney was an experi- mentalist, imitating all sorts of types and meters. Mary, in translating a French tragedy on Anthony, is plainly trying to continue her brother’s ideals. Towards the end of 1599 Lady Pembroke, as the hostess of Elizabeth on one of her royal progresses, composed a pastoral dialogue in honor of her sovereign which, it must be admitted, was remarkable neither for poetic form nor content. Her greatest serv- ice to art was her patronage of poets, especially Dr. Donne, Dean of St. Paul’s. The influence of the Sidney Pembroke circle may be seen on poets from Spenser to Milton. Her ladyship lived until 1621, spending the latter part of her life in char- itable offices and_ religious exercises. Among these, she gave her attention to revisions and translations of the Psalms, a favorite pastime of all Elizabethan men and women. “The lines written as her epitaph,” said Dr. Schelling, Underneath this sable hearse Lies the subject of all verse, Sidney’s sister, Pembroke’s mother. Death, e’er thou hast slain another Fair and learn’d and wise as she, Time shall throw a dart at thee,” were commonly supposed to be Ben Jon- son’s, because no one else could have writ- ten them, but they have been found. in an autographed manuscript by William Browne. Lady Pembroke had her rivals, among them Lady Bedford, Lady Rutland, and the Duchess of Newcastle. She would ‘have held up her hands in horror at the career and literary achievement of the first English professional woman of letters, Mrs. Aphra Behn, who wrote in the reign of Charles II, and whose life offers a strik- ing contrast to the Elizabethan lady of culture.” guiding its policies. She needs executive ability both for getting her own ideas car- ried out and also for the supervision of the Board. Tact and the ability to work with different kinds of people, both faculty and students, are essential.

Det, erie SAN THE COLLEGE NEWS TALK ON DIABETES CURE GIVEN BY DR. YATES Science Club Hears of Discovery of Insulin Injection The recent discovery of a cure for dia- betes was the subject upon which Dr. Anna B. Yates, Associate in Physiology and Biochemistry, talked at the Science Club tea held in Pembroke East last Thurs- day afternoon. The most obvious symptoms of diabetes which have been known since early times, Dr. Yates explained, are thirst, muscular weakness, emaciation, susceptibility to other diseases, and a sweet constituent in the urine. In 1838, the latter was found to be glucose, one of the simple sugars, in the form of which the carbohydrates which the body tissues use are absorbed from the alimentary canal. Evidently, in diabetes, since so much sugar is excreted, the tissues are unable to use it, and are starving for it. As the disease progresses, the percent- age of carbohydrates excreted increases, and fats eaten are imperfectly oxidized, forming acid substances which give rise to the diabetic coma generally resulting in death, About 1890, a German scientist discov- ered that dogs whose pancreas had been removed showed all the symptoms of dia- betes. He believed that, if the ducts by which the secretions of the pancreas were carried into the alimentary canal were blocked, the cells of the pancreas would die. In actual experiments some did, but definite groups of cells remained unaffected. Bernard, carrying on the investigations, found that dogs treated in this way did not develop diabetes. Attempts to make an extract from the pancreas to treat the disease proved injurious rather than helpful. Until two years ago, no cure had been found. By rigorous dieting during early stages it was possible to stay the disease, but when a patient stopped dieting, the disease again progressed. In 1920 Fred- erick Banting and Professor Macleod of the University of Toronto, working with dogs, ligated the ducts from the pancreas to the alimentary canal. When the cells had degenerated, the pancreas was removed, and an extract was made from the cells that remained. Injections of this extract, called insulin, temporarily lowered the per- centage of sugar excreted by diabetic dogs. By regulating the strength and frequency of the injection Banting found it was pos- sible to keep the dogs entirely sugar-free. The injections were then given to diabetic people, upon whom they had the same effect. “The results are only temporary,” Dr. Yates explained, “and the extract will have to be standardized before it can be safely used by doctors; yet by continued infections, persons with diabetes can live normal lives. We cannot find a preventive measure until we know the cause of the disease, but the discovery of insulin has been a tremendous step forward.” CONFERENCE ON SOCIAL WORK TO BE HELD IN WASHINGTON There will be a conference on “Social Work in the Life of To-day,” held by the Intercollegiate Community Service Associ- ation, in Washington, D.

NEWS FROM OTHER COLLEGES The Radcliffe Choral Society and the Harvard Glee Club presented Gilbert and Sullivan’s operetta, “The Gondoliers,” at their performances this spring. Three of the Foreign Students, some of whom have recently visited Bryn Mawr, spoke at Mt. Holyoke College last week. “He Who Gets Slapped,” will be given, this year, by the Dramatic Club of the University of Buffalo. It was given at Bryn Mawr by 1923 as their Junior Play. FOREIGN STUDENTS SPEND WEEK-END AT BRYN MAWR CONTINUED FROM PAGE ] The Danish student leads a very different life from the American student, as Jorgen Holck explained at the meeting on Satur- day evening. The secondary schools in Denmark teach more than the schools over here, consequently when the student enters the university he is ready for very ad- vanced work. A knowledge of German, French and English is absolutely necessary as books in these three languages may be used in any course. In order to acquire this familiarity with foreign languages the student must work six hours at school and four to eight hours at home. When he reaches the university he must study for seven or eight years, as the universities do not aim to give a general education, but a specialized training for some profession. The student life has nothing to do with the university. The only method of check- ing up the work is the examinations which come at the end of the several years of study. According to Mr. Holck, this works out very well because everyone is studying for a: profession for which a first degree will be of great material aid. The system is also advantageous in that it helps to develop character. There is no student activity in our sense of the word, except among the poor students who live in dormitories. Only a few of the Danish girls go in for higher education. Many of them take a course for one year, receiving a degree in philosophy, but few are physically strong enough to study for a profession. Consequently they are not allowed to teach in the secondary schools, as only students who have obtained university degrees may fill such a position. During the discussion which followed, Mr. Holck explained the difficulty with Danish education as he sees it. It is too impersonal and too intellectual. The stand- ards are so high that many people are left out of it entirely. In answering questions about the Nor- wegian students he explained that they have entered the Communist Party because they found there the most alive and inter- ested young men. These young workers feel that a revolution is bound to come and it is wrong to keep putting it off for future generations, for they believe that a new culture and spiritual life will develop from it. FELLOWSHIPS FOR SOCIAL WORK OFFERED TO SENIORS Three Fellowships of $450 each are offered for the academic year 1923-1924 by the Intercollegiate Community Service As- sociation to members of the graduating class of Bryn Mawr, Smith, and Wellesley. “The object of these fellowships is to assist young women of adequate educa- tional background, and an interest in so- cial work as a profession, to devote a year to combined study, supervised practice, and residence in a settlement house,” according to the Fellowship Committee of the I. C. S. A. Application blanks for these scholar- ships are posted on the bulletin boards of Pembroke West, Radnor and Rockefeller. Application must be made before May 20. The Intercollegiate Community Service Association also provides summer jobs in factories for those interested in social work and industrial problems. For example, one of their placements in New York would give opportunity to see industrial work and workers, and at the same time to study at the School of Social Research or at Columbia University. Blanks are posted in all the halls, and applicants should fill them out as soon as possible. -|For detailed information about Fellow- ships and summer jobs, see Beth Dean, Denbigh 86.

PAGE WINNER IN FENCING MEET LAST WEDNESDAY Elizabeth Pearson Places Second and Elizabeth Millspaugh Third E. Page ’23 won first place in the fenc- ing meet, which was held in the Gym- nasium last W ednesday evening, and was awarded the silver cup, given by the Fenc- ers Club of Philadelphia. E. Pearson °24 won second place, receiving a silver foil, and E. Millspaugh '26, who was awarded a pair of fencing gauntlets, placed third. Criticising the meet, Mr. Terrone said: “Compared to last year’s, the meet shows decided improvement. Although the fight- ing was harder last year, it is now more cautious; their fencing is more duel-like and shows wonderful head work. But there is not enough general physical work. “They need more instruction and prac- tice. In fencing in public, if you do not have real preparedness, you fall down. Only by continuous work, not too much at once, one learns a subconscious control of body and mental faculty which frequently breaks down an opponent’s poise. “Ranking highest among the fencers in the College,” Mr. Terrone continued, “are undoubtedly Miss Page, Miss Pearson, Miss Child, and Miss Grey. There is very good material in some of the beginners, but they have had only a little practice.” Beside Mr. Terrone, eleven judges from the University of Pennsylvania were pres- ent. There were: Dr. R. Tait McKenzie, Professor Physical Culture at the Univer- sity; Professor Paul Cret, Mr. Louis M. Fleisher, Mr. Philip A. Castner, Mr. B. Mitchell Simpson, Dr. Morman J. ._Brum- baugh, Mr. Roger Franklin, Mr. Hermann S. Hettinger, Mr. Donald Thomson, Mr. David F. Covers, and Mr. Nelson Brown. The scorers were: M. Connelly ’24 and Mr. Waterson, of the University of Pennsylvania. THIRD TEAMS 1924 Vs. 1926 By a well-sustained rally in the second half, the Freshman Third defeated the Juniors, 39-34, in the first match of the preliminaries. In the first part of the game, the Fresh- men shot wildly, while K. Gallway’s re- liable shooting gave ’24 a decided lead. At the beginning of the second half, the Dark Blue improved in every respect. E. Musselman ’26 started the attack by three goals made in rapid succession. Although personal fouls were called in an unusual number, passing became much better, and the game quickened. For a long time the score was practically a tie, Dark and Light Blue scoring successively, but, just before the whistle blew, several rapid shots by the Freshmen left the score in their favor. Line-up: 1924—K. Gallway****** T Ford*, E, Molitor*****, V. F. Miller, E. Tuttle. 1926—E. Musselman ee eee Ty Laidlaw**, A. Johnston, M. Homer, E. Tatnall. 1923 Vs. 1925 In a close game in which the score went up point by point, the Senior third de- feated the Sophomores 27-24. The players were quick, but rough, and the passing was careless and often inac- curate. A. Howell ’23, who made one spec- tacular play in the match, a field goal, was the Green team’s most reliable member. J. Gregory ’25 shot accurately, while H. Her- mann ’25 played a steady game. Line-up: 1923—I. Beaudrias****, C. Goddard**, A. Howell****, A. Smith, C. McLaughlin. 1925—N. Waterbury****, J. Gregory*****, L. Batber, M. Constant*, H. Hermann. C. Gehring, ’25, has been elected to the Ushering Committee, E. Bradley to the Cut Committee, and A. Pantzer to the Auditing Committee. E. Glessner, ’25, will be Toastmistress at Sophomore Banquet on May 18th. FRESHMEN DEFEAT JUNIORS IN FIRST GAME OF PRELIMINARIES Dark Blue Plays Quick, Wild Game, While Juniors Fumble the Ball In a quite rough and hard game last Monday, 1926’s first team defeated 1924 in the first game of the basketball pre- liminaries, with a score of 17 to 21. The victory went to the team who kept their heads and used their wits to the best effect; and, though the Juniors improved decidedly in the second half, they were not what the most sanguine could call calculat- ing. The Freshmen played a quick, but also wild game, and both teams did a good deal of unnecessary fouling. 1926's shooting far surpassed that of their opponents, and S. McAdoo ’26, after a series of quick passes, made several very pretty goals. W. Dodd '26, dribbling down the field and then shoot- ing, played a quite spectacular, neat game. G. Leewitz and M, Talcott, the guards, were quick, but lacked much team play. This lack was the trouble with the whole team, which was essentially one of indi- vidual stars, who, if they would only com- bine, could put up a most excellent game. 1924 fumbled most deplorably; and their passing was inaccurate. S. Leewitz played her usual neat game, but muddled consid- erably with her other guard. The ball seemed to bounce from hand to hand ap- parently guided only by its own sweet will. K. Elston, especially in the second half, was the mainstay of her team, making seven points. M. Buchanan, though paying for it in fouls, also did a good deal of the scor- ing. A contrast might be drawn between the careful, accurate passes of M. Palache, who came in for M. Buchanan in the lat- ter part of the second half, and those of her disordered team. Line-up: 1924—K. Elston****, E. Howe*, M. Bu- chanan***, S. Leewitz, M. Russel. 1926—W. Dodd***, F, Jay*****, S. Mc- Adoo*****, G, Leewitz, M. Talcott. M. Palache ’24, substituted for M. Buchanan ’24, SEVENTH TEAM 1924 vs. 1926 Junior Seventh defeated the Freshmen, 10-7, in a rather disorganized game, in the first of the preliminaries on Monday. The Freshmen played wildly, giving 1924 more opportunity for passing than they should have, and 1924 also showed more fight. M. Woodworth, ’24, and F. Begg, '24, played well together in the second half, while for the Freshmen, M. Wylie was a dependable center and L. Adams a quick forward. The line-up was: 1924—M. Woodworth*, F. Begg*** A, Pratt*, R. Godefroy, E. Crowell. Substitutes—M. Woodworth for R. Gode- froy, K. Brauns for M. Woodworth. 1926—H. Rodgers*, L. Adams*, M. Wylie*, M. Spalding, E. Cushman. Goals from free shots—L. Adams*. 1923 vs. 1925 A game characterized by frequent foul- ing gave a victory of 19-8 over the Seniors in the first game of the preliminaries on Monday. M. M. Dunn as center was the star of the Sophomore team, shooting frequent baskets. The line-up was: 1925—M. Shumway, H. Henshaw, M. M. Dunn, T. Fujita, M. Gardiner, 1923—I. Lemon, I. Gates, B. Kilroy, S. Archbald, K. Shumway. 1925 has elected the following members to Christian Association Committees: Maids, H. Hermann; Bates, M. Pierce; Membership, E. Smith; Publicity, M. Cas- tleman; Religious Meetings, E. Boross; Sewing and Junk, A. Woodworth; Social Service, K. McBride; Finance, M. Gardiner. A baseball game between the Odds and Evens will be held at nine o’clock on the hockey field Saturday morning.

Chestnut ’23, 7-5, 2-6, 0-6. FIFTH TEAMS 1924 Vs. 1926 Showing exceptionally fast playing, 1924’s fifth team defeated the Freshmen 15 to 13 in the first game of the preliminaries on Monday. 1926 passed exceptionally well, but could not escape the speed of G. Anderson ’24 and M. Minott ’24, who intercepted many of the passes. A. Long ’26 and H. Clem- ons ’26 played together well, and K. Tom- kins was quick and intelligent as guard. The line-up was: 1924—G. Anderson****, A, Bingeman**, J. Bensburg, K. Van Bibber, M. Minott. Goals from free shots: Anderson ***. 1926—A. Long**, H. Clemons***, E, Tweddell, K. Tomkins*, M. Waller. Goals from free shots: H. Clemons *. 1923 vs. 1925 With the score of 14-10, 1923 defeated its sister class in the first match game on Monday. Although the game was disorganized and scrappy, M. Schwarz played a good game as forward for the Seniors and A. Fraser was an excellent center. The line-up was: 1923—N. Fitzgerald, M. Schwarz, A. Fraser, M. Lawrence, L. Mills. 1925—M. Dunn, C. Cummings, A. Pantzer, G. Pickrell, B. Comer. SCHICK TEST FOR DIPHTHERIA DISCUSSED BY DR. BRANSON Dr. Branson spoke on the Schick test for diphtheria, in chapel last Friday morning. The State Medical Society, Dr. Branson explained, with the co-operation of the 3oard of Health at Harrisburg, is work- ing against diphtheria. There are more deaths from it now than from measles and scarlet fever and all the diseases which follow on them. Formerly 40 per cent. of the people died from it, but the discovery of antitoxin has caused a great change. The process of the method of injection is twofold. The Schick test is given first. If the patient has any reaction, he is not immune and antitoxin is injected. The serum should even be taken by people who have had diphtheria if they want protection against a second attack. MERION DEFEATS VARSITY IN FIRST TENNIS MATCH Helen Rice and Florence Martin Win Their Matches Varsity tennis team lost to the Merion Cricket Club in three out of five matches last Saturday morning, the first Varsity games of the season. The Varsity line-up was: H. Rice '20;-D). O’Shea ’26, C. Remak 25, R. McAneny ’23, F, Martin ’23. The substitutes were: W. Dodd ’26, and F. Jay ’26. H. Rice ’23, first on Varsity, defeated Miss Townsend of Merion, 8-10, 6-3, 7-5, both playing hard and in excellent form, contesting every point. D. O’Shea 26, lost to Miss Walsh, 4-6, 2-6, through. better placing, in a rather uninteresting game. C. Remak ’25, lost to Mrs. Madeira, 2-6, 6-8, with long rallies and good net playing. Mrs. Madeira had an excellent cross-court drive. R, McAneny ’23, lost to Miss Green, 1-6, 4-6, in a rather slow and unexciting game, both playing steadily and cautiously. F. Martin ’23, defeated Miss Seal, 6-2, 7-5, driving hard and placing better than her opponent. The Faculty match will be a week from Saturday, and Varsity will also play the Alumnae and probably the Germantown Cricket Club. SENIORS DEFEAT SOPHOMORE IN CLOSELY CONTESTED GAME Barely triumphing over the Sophomores, 1923 won the first game of the prelimi- nary matches yesterday afternoon, bya score of 24-22. The playing of the first half, though un- steady at the beginning, soon settled down into more organized team work. C. Remak, who kept up a steady line of goals, made some dramatic shots. The Senior for- wards and center showed splendid team play, making several baskets after a series of quick passes. A long throw from A, Clement to H. Rice netted a goal for the Greens which brought up the score to 13-12 in their favor at the end of the first half. Animated and quick playing made the game a cleaner one during the second period. The Sophomores, though out- played at the first by their opponents, soon rallied and put up a hard fight, their guards being particularly effective. B. Voorhees, Sophomore center forward, cov- ered the whole field and aided her team in passing the ball. For the Seniors F. Martin played a clear-headed, quick game. Line-up: 1923—F. Martin*, E. Vincent, A. Clement, H. Rice****) M. Adams**®*#****, 1925—L. Voorhees*, M. Mutch, D. Lee, C, Remake rrr SA nderson*. MR. SURETTE AND MR. ALWYNE PLAY AT INFORMAL MUSIC Chorale Singing Interspersed With Brahms and Beethoven Saint-Saens and Franck, played by Miss Bennett, Mr. Surette, and Mr. Alwyne, were added to folk-song and chorale sing- ing at the informal musicale last Monday night, in Wyndham. The “Dance of Death,” by Saint-Saens, was played by Miss Bennett and Mr. Alwyne, followed by the Slow Movement from a Symphony of Cesar Franck, by Mr. Surette and Mr. Alwyne. The audi- ence then sang folk-songs and chorales, and the second part of the Requiem of Brahms. Mr. Surette played the end of srahms’ First Symphony to illustrate the use of chorale music as part of a larger whole. He then played the cello solo from the C Minor Quartet, and part of the A Major Quartet, concluding with Beethoven’s Pianoforte Trio. Helen Hough, ’25, and Betty Howe, ’24, have been appointed as the undergradu- ates to return to the Summer School the first month, while H, Rice, ’23, and E, Hinkley, ’25, will come the second. M. Woodworth, ’24, will be Athletic Assist- ant for the whole time. 6 THE COLLEGE NEWS 1} LA ad A NATIVE OF GOLD COAST SPEAKS ON PASSING OF ECLIPSE Mr. Kwegyir Aggrei Says That Good is Greatest Enemy of Best “The Passing of the Eclipse” was the subject chosen by Mr. Kwegyir Aggrei, a native of the African gold coast, who spoke in chapel last Sunday night. Taking as his text, “In the year King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord,” Mr. Aggrei illustrated his sermon with many pictur- esque illustrations. “If we could so live,” said Mr. Aggrei, “that people would see not us but Jesus in us, it would be the most powerful factor in changing the world.” Likening Uzziah, the good king, to an eclipse that prevented Isaiah from seeing the Lord, Mr. Aggrei said that the good is the greatest enemy of the best. “Our choice is not between the good and the bad,” he declared, “but between the good and the best. The difference between people is that some have seen the Lord, others have not. Our progress in spiritual sciences has not kept pace with our great advance in social and natural sciences. It is Christ who must make the remarkable in our badly adjusted lives.” CALENDAR Thursday, May 10 8.00 P. M.—Glee Club dress rehearsal in the Gymnasium. Friday, May 11 8.00 P.
