Friday -night.— -The supper was given in Pembroke,Hall, which was decorated with bright colored autumn leaves harmonizing with the’ chrysanthe- |’ mums on the tables. The speeches began as soon as the tables were cleared and were informal suggestions: and opinions. Miss Anne Todd, ’02, president of the Alumnae “Association, was in the chair. she said, “to welcome so many alumnae. That there are so many here is a miracle wrought by the good ‘will of the neighboring alumnae and of the undergraduates. Through their president, Miss Martin; the alumnae were offered Pembroke-West and the undergrad- uates are scattered about the .collége, sleep- ing on window seats, or two in single beds; and we are in their comfortable quarters. Our most grateful thanks to our absentee hostesses!” » Miss, Todd ended with the story of the man who put an acorn inio the ground arid-“left the growth to God” and in this same feeling of faith and trust, she said, “we must leave the growth of the College to President Park’s wisdom and | care.” Miss Bancroft, Miss Todd ls Toastmistress Miss 02, introduced Elizabeth Neilds Bancroft, president of ’98 and toast- Bancroit |: mistress of the evening. Miss— mentioned the places from which the three hundred and-thirty-alumnae—had—come_to “sive greetings to the new President”; and after a silent toast to the two first presi- dents of the College introduced the next speaker, Josephine Goldmark, ’98. After speaking of her own undergraduate days, of the nonsense, the fooling and the same more serious question of self-government and academic duties that impress the wn- dergraduate of today, Miss Goldmark spoke of President Park. “Hers is no empiy honor, - her path is a difficult ohe, not. be- cause she is a_ successor to . President -Thomas who held the torch so magnifi- cently, but because this is the era of dis- illusionment.. We turn now with a new interest and passion to education, we bring flexible minds and open hearts. The new President may count on this, and that the * education here is combined with the spirit of youth, the hope of the world.” Mrs. W. Ladd (A. E.° Rhoads, ’89), trustee and director of the College, who spoke next: “President Thomas was the president of the College of~yesterday, io- night we must turn toward the future; there are many difficulties but the. feeling of the directors is one of happy confidence.

She made two sugges- tions that she had learned in her last year’s experience. at an English university, “One thing that I should like to see done,” she said, “is a system for real leisure estab- lished, leisure to think, read, get ideas, and make friends, and another thing is the es- tablishment of comprehensive examinations, ‘with more specialization in group subjects and an opportunity for original work.” The fourth speaker was Harriet Brad- ford, ’15; she began ‘by complimenting President Park’s “master stroke” which let “all the alumnae tell her how to run the.

Later the ceremony ||| was transferred to the night when the Freshmen received their caps and gowns and was removed from the campus to the Cloisters, where it has been held ‘ever since. “Pallas Athene Thea,” written “as 1893’s class song, is sung by the Sopho- mores, as they file into the Cloisters.

Dr. Rufus Jones, President of the Board ‘of Directors of the College, opened the ceremony which was to “inaugurate the 'third President of the College’ by a read- ‘ing of Scripture and a short speech. He recalled the first ceremony which took place for the same purpose almost “thirty-seven years ago to a day, when the guest .of ‘honor was James Russell Lowell.” Dr. Jones reatl a congratulatory cable that had just been received from President-Emeritus ‘Thomas and then introduged one of the. main speakers, President James Rowland Angell, Litt.

That. which } never had’—a College Magazine. . New policies are intriguing. They have a. f4scination due: perhaps to the shine of their first coat of paint. So the College in general heard with interest the plucky decision of ‘the Lantern Board last year, to make its magazine represent truly the liter ary attempts of the students themselves. Net it was, and still is fighting against great odds, against the indifference of a certain portion of College which looks upon ‘it as a private concern, affecting them only in so far as it provides a half hour’s enter- tainment. To make the Lantern what it ‘should be, and what the Board aspires to * make it—a true College magazine — we should be willing to, stand behind it. And this is not in the capacity of an indulgent public, but as active members, willing to ‘see that it gets the “right kind of stuff.” A COMEDY OF TERRORS —. ~ ° Envoys assemble at every coronation-- rich man, poor ‘man, beggar. man, college president.

E. RHODES EXPLAINS MEANING OF C. A. PLEDGE EV cata Places Emphasis on Spiritua! Welfare and Need for High Ideals “The ‘Policies of the Christian Associ-- tion’ is, I think, a very forbidding title,” said AZ. Rhodes, ’23, speaking in Vespers last Sunday. “However, in spite of the formality of the title what I hope to sav is really very simple, though difficult te express, for. | want to tell you’ of ou: hopes for the Christian - A’ssociation . for this year.” —Miss--Rhodes explained that the Chris- tian Association through its pledge means to offer its membership to any student wh» desires to live up to high ideals of life; and that everyone, no .matter what her theology, must realize the supremacy of ‘Jesus Christ as a moral and spiritual leader She added that the word “worship” in the second article means only that tribute of admiration and appreciation that. we pay to such supremacy. Dividing the Christian Association in:o divisions, the organization side, work at .the Community Center, etc., and the evaa- gelical afid spiritual side, Miss Rhodes said. that first side. was well organized and that what we need is to emphasize the spiritual side more than we have done before. “We go to chapel perhaps to be with our friends or for half a dozen other ill-defined. rea- sons, Or we stay away for. the same rea- sons. We haven’t even cared enough to think it out—we drift. “For this year we do hope to emphasize the spiritual side in a rather new way. We do not want any religious ‘hysteria in the College; what we do want is character. We want intelligent enthusiasts, not saa ferent folk. “Our hope, for the Christian Association this year,” concluded Miss Rhodes, “is that we should become réal and positive char- acters and live up to our ideals.” She added that the influence of a group» who had the, | courage to live out-their ideal of life would | ix-|be beyond belief and that it would make | the Christan Association a “real and liv- age te: moet somehow.” NATIONAL, | STUDENT FORUM “HOLDS FIRST MEETING Six Egan Students Tour Amer- » > jean Colleges Soon The Executive Committee. of. the ¢Na- tional Student Forum met for the -first time this autunin at the Forum office in New York ,last Saturday.

E, Vincent, 23, and J Wise, -ex-'24, who fg now a’ Radcliffe, ‘attended the meeting. : A. plan for a “student. conference to be held during the Christmas holidays on the subject of the economic basis of college education was the first item on the agenda.

Bryn Mawr will, therefore, be upon the preferred list. A bulletin announcing the coming of the six dents reads in part: “The National Student Forum is brinz-® ing six European students to America whom we plan to have visit the colleges and universities. of America. These six young people will be leaders.active in the ‘Youth Movement’ abroad, of fine social consciousness, and“Avith full realization oi social responsibility. . The Forum antici- pates that the friendships» formed during their ‘visit with the American students. will be stimuli to international friendship and an impulse *to’reat social service and more’ mature and socially more -effective intel-- lectual activity. Mr. John Rothschild executive secretary, and Mr. George Pratt. Jr., foreign secretary and treasurer of the N. S. F., have been in Europe since July forming contacts and’ interviewing, with the-end_in view of ultimately selecting a group of young men and women who wil have a message of real importance for the American ‘student.’ It is still uncertain as to which countries will be represented in the delegation. Present indications, how- ever, are that they will come from Ger- many, Holland, France, Czecho-Slovakia and either Italy or England. “The students will arrive about the sec- ond week im December. A week or so will be spent in becoming acclimated and meet- ing the students in New York. Early in the new year they will begin their tour of the colleges. They will travel in two sec- tions of three students each—each one of these sections being aceompanied by a officer of the Forum—thus making two groups of four. In order that there may be opportunity for the Ameyican students to meet the Europeans and thresh out ideas with ‘them we are planning a stav of three or four days in each of the coi- leges visited. This means that in all forty colleges out of the 700 odd in the’ United States can be visited. We have prepared preferential lists of colleges where we be- lieve the visit of the European students would be most fruitful, and Bryn Mawr College is-on the first list. We will do our -hest to arrange for one of the sections tc visit Bryn Mawr-.College, if you are inter- ested in having them, and feel réasonably sure that they will have sufficient .atten- tion from the student body, or: that part of it which might be expected to respond. “The loan plan of financing the mission, as set forth in the original announcements, has proved impracticable.

However, team’ work, initiatiye*and lack of self-consciousness, though hard things, to attain, wére finally learned through the games in the evening and swimming and folk dancing lessons. The difficulties to be overcome in switi- ming were greater for a while than ‘hc desire to learn: Girls would practically refuse to get their faces.wet or leave the But a change came, a change sudden and unexpected. In the pool it was most noticeable. Those who had hitherto spent! hours trying to put their faces under wate1 now refused to come up to breathe. The pool was filled with dead man’s. floaters Would-be swimmers showed ‘a streng de- sire to spend the whole afternoon or eve- ning in the water, and they were eager and often alarming in their efforts to dive Many, evén before. they had learned 12 swim a stroke, went recklessly head. firs‘ into the deep end of the pool. By the end of the summer, about fifteen had learned to swim will enough to be authorized “by college standards. Folk dancing even more than swimminy seemed to take away their first awkward: ness. The students danced folk dances of some countries, -and sang the songs o9/ others of Peace Day, to emphasize the idea of internationalism. This was the climax for both singing and folk dancing classes ° Of the three out-of-door sports, base: ball, basketball and volley ball, baseball was possibly ‘the’most popular. Although Merion was continually beaten, rivalry always ran high during matches between the two halls The tensest match was one between the faculty and-students,in which the faculty discovered the true extent*of their in feriority.

Alumnae al- ways come to Iowa as professors or pro- fessérs’ wives or léading™ citizens’ wives, the hallmark of Bryn Mawr is beautifully” engraved upon them and even more beau j- ful engraving can be expected inthe 1tu- ture with the new artist, President Park.” Mrs. ). F. Porter (A. Furness, 96), spoke on the relation of college and the prepara- tory schools of the “Corn Belt.” She felt that Bryn Mawr should choose its studenis from a wider field,. “examinations set up an economic barrier, defenses a*small col- lege must have but not a restriction-in the field of choice; there is a danger that Bryn Mawr may become arrich girls’ ial due eh these examinations.” ._Miss Mary Breed’s (794) ‘speech was in the form of a dialogue between herself and Nelson and cannot be done justice to by extract. A train wreck almost prevented Miss Sarah Stites from attending the inaugura- tion, but she arrived simultaneously with her telegram explaining her non-appearance and spoke although, she: declared, “her anxiety had knocked her prepared speech straight out.” As dean of Simons College, Miss Sites had known President Park in an administrative capacity and she spoke of her “warmth, open-mindedness and sweetness.” Colleges are facing grave questidns now, Miss Stites said, of who will support thgm, who “will control them and what their educative policies are to be, that President Park can help Bryn Mawr face these problems she felt sure, so sure in fact that she said she was “going to have a daughter on purpose to send her to Bryn Mawr.” ; : Philadelphia’s attitude ‘toward Bryn ‘Mawr was described by Marion Reilly, ’01. At fitst, according to Miss Reilly, Phila- delphia felt like Europe with the Bolshe- vists at her borders, “then she became in- terested in the clothes of the students and » 1894-98, at last in their minds, though at first she | was inclined to think them tod hard and : *'then, due to a little too promiscuous prac- ticing of the articulated rhythms, too soft. +| Miss Reilly’s remark as a’small child is per- haps characteristic .of a certain. attitude, “Hell wasn’t. go bad, Because Perserpint lived there with Pluto every six months quite comfortably and Bryn Mawr can’t be +any~worse.’ ——" The problem of ‘education was taken up —_ by Mrs. H. D. Pearson (E. W. Win- r, 92), the solution of _ which is “not by Cea ein but» by making the in- dividual student the starting point; by plac-. ~ ing the respgnsibility of education-on her.” The faculty was represented at the din- ner by Dr. Marion- Parish Smith, ’01; she introduced the analogy: of the queen bee which is tolerated only after it gets the “smell of the hive”; the way the faculty swarmed into the first chapel shows, she said, that “our “new qutén bee has the smell of the hive alregdy. You want to know,” she went on, “something about the faculty, the workers of the swarm; the subject is statistical and dry. There is only one member of the present faculty that was a member of the original faculty, Professor C.

We have watched President Park for many years; we have known her as a scholar, as a teacher and as an administrator. "A year ago I heard President Park speak at Hvl- yoke, I was struck then by what she said and I am struck now by the fact that I ‘can still recall it; she spoke then of the double ideal of seriousness and frivolity and this _means at Bryn Mawr not a change but a carrying on of principles already estab- lished.” : “I congratulate Bryn Mawr because President Park is a scholar, I congratulate Bryn Mawr on President Park’s personal qualities, her poise, her keen intelligence, her subtle humor and her solid ingegrity. [ also must congratulate President Park on her choice of a college to be President of, for Bryn Mawr has what we all aim at, a high degree of distinction or scholar: ship. Bryn Mawr has been the feeder of the great universities which has been partly her handicap but always its glory, and she has kept close touch with the culture of the old world. “Most of all I congratulate Bryn Mawr and President Park on Bryn Mawr’s orig- inality, it has ever followed its own genius and taken the educational initiative.” Dr. Comfort Brings Greetings ‘President William W.

Several generations later, when the anxious pioneer period was coming to an end the intelligent fathers. and perhaps the intelligent daughters, com- bined. for-efficiency’s-sake-and-the boarding establishment opened: its doors. These early. schools were désigned to prepare the young lady for life in her own home: ' Thai is, they were after their kind professional schools, To quote from the prospectus o1 an early catalogue—What is the profes’ sion of a woman? mortal’ minds and to watch, to nurse and to rear the bodily system? Is not the cradle of infancy and the chamber of sick- ness sacred ‘to women alone?’ Gradually and especially in the more serious schools like the Ipswash Seminary where Mary -|Lyon-held her first position anew prob- lem’ .appeared. As new branches were taught and the studies of the young ladies became more advanced in character it grew hard and then impossible tg find teachers, and little by little, largely through \the ap- prentice system, the pupil teacher ‘od. such schools began to teach young women ‘to teach while they continued at the same time the education of the ordinary pupil They were ephemeral. They often began. prospered and died with a gifted principal Unlike the man’s college they were not ‘founded by the community to meet a need of the community. Their origin was in the demands of the pupils and the foresight of the teachers.. The shrinking statements of their catalogues indicate that they were sometimes carried on in the fa¢e of real opposition from the public, and usually without any encouragement from. it. Out of such schools and under the influence of women trained iri them grew directly 01 indirectly most of the present group of women’s colleges. The mark of their origin is curiously lasting. “Before most’of them were on their. feet many state universities had been founded in the middle west. The passage of the 200 years between the foundation of Har- vard and the foundation of the University of Michigan left its mark. The institutions |of*the second great pioneer period: of the country were based on the principle of an open door in education and among the sons of the middle border the importance of the woman in a young civilization was too fresh in mind to be ignored, One by one as the universities opened they connected themselves directly with the public school system, interpreting. liberally all entrance requirements, and they admitted: men and women alike, The women’s colleges in the older east both in their founding and ‘in their growth were unaffected by the new university -system. They presented them- selves as a small#group with a tradition of suffrance from the community on the one hand and independence of it on the other and thus they stood by themselves with their own way to make.

They have, for instance, “stubbornly maintained entrance tests and the regulation of the must be prepared. They have kept to a curriculum more or less‘rigid. They have increased, not diminished, their fees fo1 tuition and residence. “Further, it might well be expected thr in the absence of actual public control 4 large and various body of patrons, parents and guardians and interested family con- nection, would, through the sum of theit interest and concern in the college come to represent a kind of indirect ‘control, in the name- of the whole community,’ a repre- sentative committee of the public as it were.

There is no democracy in their catalogues. losophy and community singing will never ‘be equal before their bar and they hesitate no more for the public outcry than for the protests of agonized parents. “The woman’s college justtfies her exist- sence by claiming to do a service to. the community, by claiming to send_ back women well trained for life in their littie ‘worlds. With all her independence of the community in her .policy and her practice she despatches her graduates at the end-of their four years of training back to their old homes or, to new homes of their own, retaining only*a few to carry on within ‘her walls the tradition of instruction in their ‘turn. She even believes and asserts that the women who have. been educated in her independent traditions go out to be leaders in the groups outside! - “What then is the situation? The wom- an’s college is independent of the com- munity’s control through its- ordinary—edu- ‘cational system, representative of numet- ically few. of its families, anxious to re- “move her nurslings from its direct influence for the term of their training, compelling them to walk in a road of her own choos- ‘ing, yet expecting them ‘to be received again after her work with them is done. Certainly the public has a right to watch jealously organizations of such independence and io make its requirements of them great and constant. ’ “The college on her side is conscious of wise traditions and high purposes. She has been hard at work for two generations. The requirements she has made of herse!t are the result of experience and of thought. What must she add to them? What must she assume further as her duty to the pub- lic? If its demands be really just, the college should, indeed must, make these demands of herself. Every college must be a going concern, must pay its bills, but its policy should always. be toward the: lesser rather than the greater expense for the student. It is harder for the college ad- ministration than for outsiders to know the sad loss which -the college suffers in receiving only one type of student. Its tiny melting pot is in the way of being an extraordinarily effective. one. Within the small circle of college life closeness of ac+ quaintance, which in the intelligent person is the foundation -for democracy, is» espe cially possible.
