ARE YOU OVER THE TOP IN
PHYSICAL EFFICIENCY ?

 

 

New Physical Examinations Test

Strength and Prowess

Every student is to be graded in her
physical examination this year according
to her physical efficiency or non-efficiency.
There are eight possible grades, and rat-
ings are made, as in the swimming tests,
by definite standards.

The examination consists of gymnastic
and athletic tests. Under the heading of

 

 

gymnastic tests come trials of strength,
balance, and agility, co-ordination and |
control, in which the regular gymnasium
apparatus is employed. The athletic tests
include examinations in swimming and
diving, jumping, and speed and endurance
running. The athletic teams made by a
student are also considered in fixing her
athletic rating.

Special training in the various lines in |
which students are deficient will follow |
the examinations. The gymnastic classes |
will be divided into squads according to |
the different grades of efficiency, and
graded swimming and diving classes will |
be held by Dr. Bishop, Miss Kirk, and |
Miss Hammer.

The aim of the new order is, of course,
the attainment of a higher grade of effi- |
ciency by everyone in college. As im-
provement is noted, ratings will be raised.
It is hoped that by the end of the year no
one will be left in the three grades of
non-efficiency.

CROWD WAITING AS LOAN BOOTH
OPENS

With $6100 toward the college quota of
$25,000 at the end of the first day, the
college has shown its determination to
“lend as they are fighting.” The loan
booth opened in Taylor Monday morning.
The active campaign for subscriptions
will begin Saturday afternoon, when Lieu-
tenant Fletcher of the Royal Flying
Corps, who was wounded at Vimy Ridge,
will open the rally on Taylor steps.

Among those on the “honor roll” for
the first two days are President Thomas,
Dean Maddison, Dr. Schenck, Dr. Ten-
nent, Dr. and Mrs. de Laguna, Dr. and
Mrs. Frank, Dr. and Mrs. Smith, Dr.
Sabin, and Dr. Swindler. Joseph Con-
nelly, an employee on the grounds, is for
the second time at the head of the list as
first subscriber.

Liberty Loan window cards and buttons
are given to all who make a cash pay-
ment.

Last year $197,200 was raised on the
campus for the Second Liberty Loan and
$56,000 for the Third. This sum for the
second loan was made possible by the
fact that the college invested in bonds a
part of the money paid by the students
for their college bills.

 

MISS FRANKLIN LOAN CAPTAIN

Dr. Marion Parris Smith, who twice
last year led the Liberty Loan team to
victory, has resigned as head of the Lib-
erty Loan Committee in order to give
more time to a piece of government work
in which she is engaged.

The new head of the Liberty Loan De-
partment, elected by the War Council, is
Miss Marjorie Franklin, Fellow in Eco-
nomics at Bryn Mawr, 1914-15, who is this
year taking one’of the’sections of the
Minor Economics Course.

Miss Franklin worked this summer in
the New York‘ Natidnal Bank of Com-
mérce on War Revenue legislation, cov-
ering both ‘financial and legal ground.
Last winter She was Instructor of’ Polit-
ical Science at Vassar, and the year be-
fore was in Washington in the Tariff Di-
vision of the Buréau of Foreign and Do-
mestic Commerce. .

 

CLEVER PLANS OF ’22 FRUSTRATED

 

Tireless Sleuthing Rewarded

The time-honored ruse of a Sophomore
acting as a Freshmen outwitted the clever
plot of ’22 and won for ’21 the parade
song at the eleventh hour last Thursday
night.

Parade night and the usual trailing and
sleuthing went off quietly in accordance
with the new rules. Brains not force won
the day.

Freshmen Carry Out Plans

KE. Anderson, the first Freshman chair-
man, wrote fifty copies of the song in the
middle of Monday night and sewed them
into her head band, which she wore night
and day, until they were distributed at
the. Freshman class meeting, held Thurs-
day evening in the gymnasium. ‘After
studying the words for a few minutes, each
one of the class chewed up her piece of
paper and swallowed it to insure against
any stray piece of paper falling into the
hands of the enemy. But an ingenious
Sophomore, who had been acting the part
of a Freshman since the beginning of col-

| lege, ran up to one of ’22 on the way up

to the arch and, saying that she had not
been able to attend the meeting, induced
her to tell the song. Contrary to tradi-
tion the Freshmen worked out and put
into effect the plan suggested by 1920 en-
tirely alone.

BRYN MAWR OPENS FIFTH WAR YEAR WITH STAND FOR

LIBERAL

STUDIES

President Thomas Says War Experimentation in Vocational Courses is Over

COLLEGE CROWDED
TO OVERFLOWING

 

(Statement of the 34th Opening of Bryn Mawr
College authorized by President Thomas.)

Bryn Mawr College opened last week
for its thirty-fourth year with an over-
flowing Chapel, students standing in
every available place. The college is
crowded, all the dormitories on the cam-
pus being full to the attics, and two cot-
tages on property adjoining the campus
having been rented and filled with stu-
dents.

[In addition to Llysyfran a cottage on
the Collins place has’ been rented to
house some of the graduate students. ]

The college tea room is feeding the
students who cannot get seats in the
dining rooms.

The graduate school also is very large,
the Carola Woerishoffer Department of
Social Economy alone having over 35
graduate students and having refused
many more. Twenty graduate students
are being trained in this department at
the request of the Government for the po-
sition of industrial supervisors on schol-
arships granted by the Young Women’s
Christian Association. These women hold
college degrees and have specialized in
social service work. They will form a
group of the most highly trained women
for such work in the country.

President Thomas, in Opening Address,
Sounds Call-to Strenuous “Study

In ‘her’ opening address’ President
Thomas ‘said’ in part:

“We meet ‘today’ at the opening of
the 34th academic-year of Bryn Mawr Col-
lege in this glorious fifth year of the great
world war for freedom, justice and peace
to dedicate ourselves to another year of
study and intellectual preparation for the
work that must be done by the girls now
in college if it is to be done at all. * * *
I believe that Bryn Mawr’s war experi-
mentation in vocational study, slight as it
has been, is over. Our faculty, as a
whole, is, I believe, prepared to stand
firmly by its belief in the supreme value
of intellectual non-vocational training.
Our graduates, as a whole, and the older
members of our student body believe, as
we do, that the best possible preparation
for whatever you wish to do in life is
strenuous intellectual work during the
four years of your college course, pre-
ceded by really hard intellectual work in
school tested by really difficult entrance

103 in Freshman Class

In spite of rumors that Bryn Mawr
would be unable to accommodate a large
entering class, the Freshmen number 103.
With 96 Seniors, 74 Juniors, and 117
Sophomores, the undergraduates total
390. 3 hearers, 16 resident fellows,” 63
graduate students, and 2 non-resident fel-
lows bring the whole number of students
to 474.

 

 

examinations. This sort of college work
we are going to offer you this year, with
no exceptions made and no excuses ac-
cepted. And we know from past experi-
ence that you will do your part and study
faithfully and well. But we want you to
do even better this year than ever before
because the need for the Bryn Mawr
brand of education is greater than ever
before. We wish to appeal to you to help
us to get ail the slackers out of the col-
lege. This is no time for idlers anywhere
and, above all, Bryn Mawr in war time is
no place for them.

Splendid Record of Bryn Mawr Women

“T wonder if you fully realize how much
will be expected of you if you are’to live
up to the reputation already won for
Bryn Maw? by the splendid war work of
her daughters who have left the college.
I hear of it everywhere, and what seems
to be the distinguishing characteristic of
the work of Bryn Mawr women ‘is their
power of leadership. Within the last few
days a great industrial plant and a very
important Government department at
Washington have written to me, saying
that the Bryn Mawr women already em-
ployed have done so extraordinarily well
and had exercised so great an influence
for good over the other employees’ that
they: wanted as many more Bryn Mawr
graduates as we could possibly furnish
TheN ee StS :

“When we were motoring through Yel-
lowstone Park this summer and I- wrote
my home address as Bryn Mawr’in the
register of a very primitive camp there,
the women at the desk put out her hand
and said, ‘Shake! My daughter’and my
niece are going to the great Bryn Mawr
College. Do you know anything about
it?’ * * *

Socialized World Needs Leaders

“After six: weeks motoring through
Colorado, Wyoming and Montana I have
brought back a new understanding of the
different kind of world that you will live

ANTI-FLU PARTY

 

Cc. A. Receives Out-of-Doors

Taking the form of a strictly anti-flu
gathering, the Christian Association Re-
ception last Saturday was held on the
lawn in front of Merion. The board and
association presidents received from be-
hind masks and extended a hearty yard-
stick with a warm handshake for all at
the further end. They wore kilties,
gowns and other strange costumes so that
they would not be recognized by any
chance germ.

Speeches by the presidents of all the
associations were made on and in soap-
boxes, just as the soap-box decreed.
Since all big gatherings have been pro-
hibited, this novel entertainment with
games and races was devised to take the
place of a formal evening party in the
gymnasium.

BRYN MAWR- SCRUBS
LANCASTER INN
The old Lancaster Inn, which has been
turned into an emergency hospital for in-
fluenza patients by the town commission-
ers, is being scrubbed and swept by a
group of Bryn Mawr workers in bathing
caps, influenza masks and hockey skirts.
One of the Bryn’ Mawr professors of the
classics helped to keep the home fires
burning with a pile of kindling wood and,
as the Community Center is attending to
the housekeeping and furnishings, Miss
Jane Smith supervised the work.

 

Oct. 16 Last Day for Course Books

Course books, fully stamped and signed
according to the rules posted in Taylor,
must be turned in at Dean Maddison’s
office before 6 p.m. next Wednesday (Oct.
16). For neglect of this regulation a fine

 

| of five dollars is imposed.

“It ain’t the individuals,
Nor the army as a whole,
But the everlastin’ teamwork
Of every bloomin’ soul.”

Nearly eighty strong every day an-
Swered the call to scrub out the Lancas-
ter Inn, a record that is indicative of the
spirit which ought to characterize the
year. Bryn Mawr is about the first col-
lege to have conscription and all the
other colleges are watching judiciously to
see if it succeeds. If it does it will be
due to the spirit of the college and the
Spirit of the college is what each student
makes it. Every person in Bryn Mawr
who is not for conscription is against it
and with one person against it, conscrip-
tion cannot succeed. The United States
government enforces conscription by the
penalty of imprisonment. The college
has a weapon quite as effective—public
opinion—and public opinion is going to
be for 100 per cent effort.

 

Open Faculty Lectures

Anyone who has indulged during the
past week in “visiting” other classes than
the ones in which she is enrolled must
settle down to her limited fifteen hours
a week with real regret. No matter how
carefully a student may map out her

~course through college, there will always

be some fascinating subject she has not
room for, some brilliant professor whose
lectures she can never attend.

Would not this disappointment be les-
sened if members of the faculty could find
time to give occasional open lectures, on
subjects connected with their regular
courses? Much as professors are said to
dislike giving a “bird’s-eye view” of a
subject, they might be willing to give a
general lecture, if, instead of the ten min-
utes of morning Chapel, they had an hour
or two, in the afternoon or evening, at
their disposal.

In this way the older students might
gain a general impression of other sub-
jects than the one or two in which they
are majoring, and underclassmen be
guided as to the ‘courses they wish to
take up. Best of all, each undergraduate
would become acquainted with many of
the Bryn Mawr faculty who at present,
unfortunately, exist for her only on the
front page of the catalogue.

 

A SAD FABLE IN SLANG

(With Apologies to Mr. George Ade)

As the train pulled into the Bryn Mawr
station there arose from his seat a strap-
ping young Influenza Germ, Vigorous with
the full energy of Early manhood, and
primed for a successful Campaign among
the ladies of this Famous resort.

Hopping gaily into the waiting Ford he
found himself between two Little
Peaches, and by the time they reached
the Campus he was feeling Perfectly at
Home with them.

That evening he got Clubby with six or
seven other Beauts.

 

The next morning, however, the Man-
agement informed him that he would
have to Do Without his usual daily trip
to the village Tonsorial Parlors because
of something they called Quarantine. This
lessened his attractions Visibly, but he
Got Away with a couple more conquests
Just the same.

Two days later he was deprived of an-
other Necessity of Life by the sudden ap-
pearance of a VERBOTEN sign on the
tea house Door. He became Pale and
Haggard and lost most of his Drag with
the Women.

The blow that finally Killed him was
an order forbidding him the Bracing At-
mosphere of all Social gatherings. Re-
ligious and Academic groups Cramped his
Style.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR °
(The editors do not hold themselves re-
sponsible for opinions expressed in this
column.)

Calls Bulletin Boards Blot on Landscape
To the Editors of the College News:

When I came to reunion last June, the
one blot on the landscape was the bulle-
tin boards. They were bad when I was
in college and they are no better now,
and have not kept pace with other im-
provements apparent right and left. Now
the solution has come to me, after a good
deal of worry, and I am planning to try it
out in a bandage factory where I am do-
ing “efficiency” (loathesome word) work
for the duration of the war.

The idea is this: Conceive of the bul-
letin boards as a newspaper published at
regular intervals, say daily, twice a week,
or weekly. Make the board as readable
as a newspaper would have to be. Put
everything in concise headline or news-
paper form; have definite spacing for cer-
tain classified news, announcements, or
advertising of interest to campus read-
ers; banish all items that are out of date.

Further developments I leave to you.
I should aim at clearness of arrangement,
brevity and pithiness of style, originality,
balance, and order. Announcements
should not be tacked on top of each other,
or by one corner, so that they flutter in
the passing breeze.

As to organization, I should suggest
that the bulletin boards be taken over by
the College News, who shall run them in
conjunction with their regular sheet,
which we all look forward to receiving.

In the factory, conditions are a little
different, and we have definitely aban-
doned the idea of a shop newspaper. The
bulletin boards are to take the place of a
weekly printed sheet. In college they
could supplement and feed the College
News. I do not know just how your or-
ganization works, but I presume that you
have a representative in each hall. This
girl could very properly undertake to
manipulate the bulletin board in her own
hall. She, ex-officio, keeps in touch with
things brewing and doing, and must have
journalistic ability and experience. She
can run the bulletin board like the boards
outside of newspaper offices, not forget-
ting to keep the bulletin board needs of
the college in general as important as
those of the News in particular.

I do not anticipate any difficulty in tak-
ing over the care of the bulletin boards
from the present managers. In my day, I
think, it formed a minor—a very minor—
department of the Undergraduate Asso-
ciation, but it never reached its highest
possibilities then or now. It is a big, big
asset going to waste.

I should be very glad to hear the News
had carried out my suggestion, and shall
be very glad to help the managing board
further, if they decide to undertake the
matter. With all good wishes,

Marjorie Young 1908.

BRYN MAWR_ SUPPORTING
) WORKERS IN RUSSIA, FRANCE
AND ITALY

Five Sail During Summer

Bryn Mawr is now supporting thirteen
workers under the Service Corps. Of
these, five have sailed during the sum-
mer: Katharine Dame, graduate student
1894-5, and Lucie Reichenbach ’10 to work
in Italy under the Red Cross, Charlotte
Claflin ’11 to work under the Red Cross
for Infant Welfare, Elizabeth Snyder ’03
to be in a Y. M. C. A. canteen in England,
and Dr. Post to go with the American
commission to Persia. Dr. Post has been
appointed instead of Dr. McCallum, who,
after being taken on as a member of the
Service Corps when he spoke at college
last May, was unable to go with the Per-
sian Commission. A sixth new worker,
Rosalie James ’03, sails this month.

In all $26,780.96 has been received for
the Service Corps, according to Miss Di-
mon, of the Service Corps Executive Com-
mittee. $15,979.96 has been raised by the
Alumne, and $10,518.48 by the college
War Council. $16,000 of this has already
been paid out and $9000 more appropri-
ated.

The thirteen workers on the Service
Corps are: Elizabeth Sergeant ’03, inves-
tigation work in France; Margaret Bon-
tecou ’09, Agnes Morrow ’12, and Laura
Hatch, Fellow 1912, Rosalie James ’03,
Y. M. C. A. Canteen Work in France;
BHlizabeth Snyder ’03, Y. M. C. A. Canteen
Work in England; A. Jones Haines ’07
and Esther White ’06, Friends’ Relief
Work in Russia; Charlotte Clafflin ’11, In-

Mary Shenstone, reported in June as a
member of the Service Corps, has mar-
ried and dropped out.

 

WRITES OF WORK IN Y. M. C. A.
CANTEEN

 

B. M. Service Corps Member at La
Courtine

One of the workers whom Bryn Mawr
is supporting in France, Laura Hatch, has
written to Miss Dimon telling of the Y. M.
C. A. canteen work she is doing. She
Says in part:

“In Paris we had our first first-hand
experience with the Hun. In the six
nights that we were there we had four
air-raids. Two of them were really very
severe, the one on June 27th being the
worst they had had for a long time. One
bomb fell within a couple of blocks of our
hotel, but fortunately fell in the street,
and no one was hurt.

“It is really quite an experience to hear
the sirens give the ‘alerte.’ Then all the
new people in town run down to the cel-
lars on the first floors of houses, and the
old inhabitants just turn over with a sigh,
and go to sleep again. I was so curious
that I hated to go below. The second
night I viewed the raid from the shelter
of the arcade. The play of the search-
lights searching the sky fot the raiders,
and the bursting of the shells sent up by
the anti-aircraft guns, was most interest-
ing.

“This place, La Courtine, is right in the
center of France, almost. We can tell
where we are in this zone (service of
supplies) as it is neither at the front nor
on the coast. I’m glad, too, because then
I can tell you more about things. The
country is lovely, is high (2200 feet) and
the air clean and cool.

“The canteen here is a large one and
has seven workers. The temporary
buildings are now being completed, with
a writing room in one and a billiard room
in another, which will help a little and
relieve the congestion in our room.

“We are luxuriously housed (that is,

 

for canteen workers) in a hotel about a

 

SUFFRAGE CLUB TO TEACH VOTING

Since the struggle for suffrage is prac-
tically over, the Suffrage Club will prob-
ably become a civic club for the instruc-
tion of voters, according to Z, Boynton
20, president. By October 12th, when
New York voters must register for the
State elections, booklets issued by the
Citizens’ Union as an aid to intelligent
voting, will be distributed among the
students.

Should this change not prove practical,.
the club will be abolished.

NEWS IN BRIEF

 

President Thomas gave a _ reception
last Friday evening to the Faculty.

Miss Orlady has resigned as secretary
of the War. Council. Her successor will
be elected as soon as the new class rep-
resentatives on the War Council go into
office.

Mrs. Richard Francis (Louise Congdon
00), director of the Alumne Association,
is taking Miss Dimon’s place as one of
the alumne representatives on the War
Council. Mrs. Francis lives in Bryn
Mawr.

Miss Margaret Monroe is the second
graduate representative on the War Coun-
cil. Miss Monroe was Assistant Red
Cross supervisor and head of the Wool
Department this summer in Asheyille,
NC:

Miss Elizabeth Kirkbride, a director of
the College, has a niece, Story Kirkbride,
in the entering class.

R. Reinhardt ’19 is choir leader for
1918-19, and I. Arnold ’20, organist.

Students who speak Spanish, but are
not yet members of the Spanish Club, are
cordially invited to join. Applications for
membership should be made to T. James
20, president.

P. Helmer ex-’20 has taken a position
as substitute teacher at the Bryn Mawr
School in Baltimore. She is also taking
a business course.

D. Smith ’20 has been elected secretary
of the Self-Government Association to
take the place of G. Steele, who did not
return to college.

M. Walton ex-’21 is acting as volunteer
aide in the Columbia Base Hospital in
New York taking care of influenza pa-
tients.

 

M. Tyler ’19, vice-president of the Chris-
tian Association, led vespers last Sunday
in the cloisters, speaking on Friendship
and quoting from Miss Bertha Condés
book. E. Biddle ’19, C. A. president, who
had been scheduled to lead, has influenza.

 

 

mile from the canteen. When the Y. M.
C, A. car (Ford) has nothing else to do
it calls for us to take us over, but it al-
ways brings us back at night, which is
wonderful after being on your feet all
day. If the car doesn’t call for us we hail
an army truck or wagon and get a lift.

“The hotel is a funny little place, but
the beds are good, and with much cooking
we can get a little hot water once in a
while. It is a luxury to get ‘petit-
dejeuner’ in bed even if it does consist of
poor cafe au lait and poor French war
bread.

“I don’t know just how long we will stay
in this place. The plan seems to be to
give the workers experience back of the
line like this and then move them up and
then back for a rest now and then. How-
ever, no women are allowed within 25
miles of the front, so it isn’t so terribly
dangerous even there.

“Our expenses here are small and there
will be no difficulty in living within the
amount the Y. M. C. A. assigns us, I
have figured up that I have already spent
about $175 for equipment. The rest of
the $500 I will hold for emergencies and
am glad I don’t have to draw on it now
and may be able to return much of it if
other places are as easy as this.

“Please- remember me to my good
friends at Bryn Mawr.

(Signed) “Laura Hatch.”

BATES HAS RECORD SUMMER

 

More Student Workers Than Usual

For the first time in years, according to
F, Clarke ’19, chairman of the Bates Com-
mittee, enough workers volunteered for
Bates House last summer to entertain
and keep house properly for the total of
300 guests from Spring Street. Thirty-
three workers, including Bryn Mawr stu-
dents and their friends, under the direc-
tion of Miss Virginia Deems, set a new
record for the Long Branch vacation
house.

Fewer business girls were entertained
at Bates this summer than in previous
years, as an effort was made to confine
the guests principally to mothers and
children. Clean-up Week in June was fol-
lowed by the arrival of members of a
Ladies’ Missionary Society. Next came
the kindergarten and nursery children,
and later groups of Italian and American
mothers and their babies.

Miss Deems was assisted by Miss Vir-
ginia Lancaster, a graduate of Agnes
Scott College, South Carolina, and E.
Williams ’20. Miss Dora Gray and Miss
Ruth Anderson, also of Agnes Scott Col-
lege, spent the entire summer at Bates.
Miss Walmer of Denbigh acted as house-
keeper. The other workers were:

Clean-up and Missionary Society Week
—Miss Applebee, F. Beatty '19, I. Whit-
tier 19, H. Buttenwieser ’20, M. Train ’20.

Kindergarten and Nursery Week—V.
Frazier 718, M. Hardy ’20, M. M. Cary ’20,
Z. Boynton ’20, Marie Detour Boynton.

Mothers’ Meeting—M. Scott ’19, Anna
Breyden, Anne Lewis, M. Tyler ’19, D.
Jenkins ’20, M. Canby ’20, Amy Huntley,
M. Taylor ’21, E. Collins ’21, D. Lubin ’21,
C. Garrison ’21, Agnes Woods.

Business Girls’ Week—A. Landon ’19,
R. Hamilton ’19, F. Clarke ’19, B. Sorchan
19, L. Sloan ’20, J. Justice ’20.

Clever Plans of ’22 Frustrated
(Continued from page 1.)
No Torches This Year

The Freshmen formed in a line under
Pembroke at eight o’clock and, carefully
guarded by the Juniors and led by the
Bryn Mawr Band, ran to the athletic field.
On account of the war no torches could
be bought, but a huge bonfire blazed on
the lower field.

When the Freshmen had finished ‘Hail,
we are gathered here,” to the tune of
“Hail, hail, the gang’s all here,” the
Sophomores burst out triumphantly with
“Boo Hoo for ’22.”

1922 ELECTS SECRETARY PRO TEM.

Serena Hand, Merion, has been elected
temporary secretary for 1922. The tem-
porary Freshman song-leader is Margaret
Krech, Pembroke West.

The order in which members of the
Freshman ministry will take their turn
at presiding over the class was deter-
mined by lots drawn by the Junior Com-
mittee. E. Anderson, chairman last week,
is succeeded this week by M. Tyler, who
will be followed in order by K. Gardner,
P. Smith, and C. Stuart.

REQUIRED EXERCISE
BEGINS MONDAY

Following the vote of the mass meeting
held last spring, the Health Department
this year requires every student to sign
up five periods of exercise a week, two of

which represent Physical Development |

drills. These periods must extend over
at least four days, thus allowing only one
day a week when two periods may be
signed.

Required exercise begins next Monday.

 

Smith Closes Class Rooms

Smith was forced to stop classes last

Thursday, October 3d, because of the in-
fluenza epidemic. No student is allowed
to leave her house of residence excepting
for exercise and then only with another
member of her own house. All students
who have passed any course in nursing
have been asked to serve in the North-
ampton hospitals. These aids live to-
gether in one campus house.

 

 

THE COLLEGE NEWS

Four Juniors Will Enter Johns Hopkins
Next Year

K. Cauldwell ’20, L. Kellogg ’20, EB.
Brace ’20, and C. Colman ’20 expect to
enter the School of Hygiene and Public
Health at the Johns Hopkins University
next fall and will take a two years’ course
there leading to a degree of Bachelor of
Science in Hygiene.

By majoring in science and taking all
the required courses at Bryn Mawr they
will be able to get the degree of Bachelor
of Arts from here after they have com-
pleted one year at the School of Hygiene
and Public Health. Dr. William H.
Welch, great uncle of L. Kellogg, is direc-
tor of the school, which is opening this
year for the first time, and Dr. William H.
Howell, father of T. Howell ’18, is assist-
ant director.

SENIORS LOSE ATHLETIC STAR

Mildred Peacock ’19 has left college to
enter government work. The only mem-
ber of 1919 to have won a yellow tie
twice, Miss Peacock had been elected this
year’s Varsity basketball captain. She
has played on Varsity hockey and basket-
ball ever since she entered college, and
last year captained her class basketball
team through a banner season. She was
a member of the Food Production Depart-
ment of the War Council, and has spent
the past two summers doing farm work.

QUARANTINE RULES EXTENDED

Three new rules were added to the in-
fluenza quarantine regulations by the
Health Department last Saturday:

1. No visitors from off the campus are
allowed to enter the halls of residence.

2. Students are not to visit any private
house, whether on this side of Montgom-
ery Avenue or not, without special per-
mission from Dean Taft.

3. No meetings, except necessary aca-
demic and religious meetings, shall be
held on the campus.

The Health Department does not con-
sider the influenza epidemic in college as
really serious, but is taking every pos-
sible precaution against its becoming dan-
gerous.

Any student whose parents are suffi-
ciently worried about the influenza situa-
tion here to want her to come home will
be allowed to do so, provided she keeps
up with her college work at home, it was
announced Monday.

WAR CHEST RECOMMENDED
A recommendation that the college, as
a whole, subscribe to the Five-Counties

| War Chest will be made by the War

Council at the next mass meeting. The
War Chest includes practically all the big
war charities, so that a monthly subscrip-
tion to it obviates frequent collections for
different causes. Subscribers are asked
to give “one day’s pay a month” or one-
thirtieth of their income.

COMPANY CAPTAINS SELECTED

To organize the Physical Development
drills in each hall company commanders
have been appointed by the Athletic and
Conscription Boards: Rockefeller-—R.
Chadbourne ’19 and M. Crile ’21; Pem-
broke West—J. Peabody 719 and H. James
721; Pembroke East—H. Huntting ’19 and
W. Worcester ’21; Denbigh—A. Thorn-
dike 719 and B. Schurman ’21; Merion—
P. France 719 and J. Herrick ’20; Llysy-
fran—M. L. Mall ’20.

A standardized drill will be taught to
the platoon and squad leaders by these
captains. Regular drills, as part of stu-
dents’ required exercise, begin next week.
The graduates are organizing a separate
company. Later in the season competi-
tive drills will probably be held between
the different companies.

SIX WEARERS OF YELLOW
TIES ON THE CAMPUS

Six yellow tie holders and twenty
medal swimmers have returned to col-
lege this year. The wearers of yellow
ties are E. Lanier ’19, M. Tyler 719, A.
Stiles 719, G. Hearne ’19, M. M. Carey ’20,
and B. Weaver ’20.

The first-class swimmers include K.
Townsend ’20, B. Weaver ’20, K. Cauld-
well ’20, E. Cope ’21, E. H. Mills ’21, M.
Morton ’21, K. Woodward ’21, and W.
Worcester ’21. H. Spaulding ’19 and M.
R. Brown ’20 have won second-class med-
als, and E. Lanier 719, M. L. Thurman ’19,
J. Peabody 719, F. Howell ’19, M. M. Carey
20, H. Holmes ’20, A. Moebius ’20, E.
Cecil ’21, E. Bliss ’21, and H. Farrell ’21
are third-class swimmers.

STOP, LOOK AND CONSIDER
BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY!

SAVE newspapers, tinfoil, magazines,
old clothes, fruit stones, nut shells, type-
writer ribbons and boxes.

GIVE them to the Junk Committee and
they will sort them out and turn them
over to the Red Cross for shipment.

Freshmen collectors will come around
daily in each hall. Don’t be too lazy to
search among your goods and chattels.
The collectors have time to go around to
each room, haven’t you time to reward
their labors and help win the war?

The army of W. A. A. C.’s collects old
clothes, shoes, metal things, etc., from
the battlefields in France. It’s up to you
to form a salvage army in Bryn Mawr.
Last year $12 was made toward support-
ing a girl at St. Hilda’s School in Wu
Chang, China, by the sale of newspapers
collected by the Junk Committee. How
much are you going to make this year?

VARSITY CAPTAINS FOR THREE
MAJOR SPORTS ANNOUNCED

 

Fine Records Augur Well

With Mary Tyler ’19 as Varsity hockey
captain, and Elizabeth Lanier 719 heading
Varsity water-polo, the outlook for Var-
sity athletics this year is bright. Cap-
tains wear yellow ties. Miss Tyler has
made her letter every year since she en-
tered, and Miss Lanier every year since
Freshman year, when she substituted on
the water-polo team.

M. Tyler, who was an All-Philadelphia
star before entering college, plays a
speedy game at left wing. She subbed
for forward on the Varsity basketball
team last year, having played on ’19’s
second team throughout the _ season.
Miss Tyler is also vice-president of the
C. A., and was 1919’s Sophomore presi-
dent.

E. Lanier, who has captained her class
team for the past three years, plays for-
ward on Varsity water-polo and basket-
ball. She has been a member of the Ath-
letic Association board since Freshman
year, and is now indoor manager and
vice president. She and Miss Tyler are
rooming together for the third year.

FIVE MORE JUNIORS DROP OUT

D. Griggs, N. Offut, E. Wight, P. Harts-
horn, and G. Steele, all members of 1920,
are not returning to college this year. D.
Griggs has gone to Camp Humphries, Va.,
as nurse’s aid, to care for influenza vic-
time; N. Offutt will take a _ business
course in Baltimore. E. Wight is a stu-
dent nurse at St. Luke’s Hospital, New
York. G. Steele has enlisted in the Stu-
dent Nurses’ Reserve. Miss Steele was
secretary of the Self-Government Asso-
ciation for this year and assistant treas-
urer of the Christian Association her
Freshman year.

SPORTING NEWS

G. Hearne and M. Tyler have been
elected captain and manager of the
Seniors’ hockey team. 1920 has elected
M. M. Carey and B. Weaver.

M. Warren ’21 captains her class team
in place of D. McBride, who has resigned.
B. Schurman is manager for ’21.

On account of the influenza quarantine
the swimming pool has been closed this
week. Freshman authorizations have
been postponed indefinitely.

M. L. Mall, D. Rogers and K. Townsend,
in order named, lead in 1920’s straw vote
for secretary of the Athletic Association
held last Friday. The office was held by
P. Helmer, who did not return to college
this fall.

One-piece bathing suits will be allowed
in the pool this year, according to a re-
cent ruling of the Athletic Board.

The graduates’ tennis tournament is
being played this week. More grads re-
ported for hockey practice last Saturday
than have for any practice during the
past year.

Physical examinations for Sophomores,
Juniors, and Seniors began this week.
Because Dr. Rea has been so busy with
influenza innoculations there have been
no medical exams since college opened,
and Freshmen have been allowed to play
hockey as soon as they passed the phys-
ical.

Necessity Is the Mother of Invention

The halt, the lame and the blind are
being conveyed to their various doctors
in Philadelphia in D. Clark’s car, rechris-
tened the Chariot of Pain. H. Spalding
719, F. Day ’19, M. Dent ’20, D. Clark ’20,
and K. Haworth are the passengers. As
the use of trains is a thing of the past in
this plague-infected community, the car
makes weekly trips. All who need med-
ical treatment in Philadelphia are ad-
vised to apply to Miss Clark.

RED CROSS WORK CRAMPED

 

Many Taught Use of Knitting Machine

As no work will be given out by the
Red Cross during the influenza epidemic,
College Red Cross work for the time be-
ing is confined to knitting. If the epi-
demic continues, the Main Line local
branch will close their workroom. D.
Walton ’19 is giving lessons on the knit-
ting machine to many students who will
later become instructors.

After the quarantine soldiers’ garments
‘will be given out to students for mending.

GERMAN BOOKS, NOW SUPPRESSED,
TRANSLATED BY PROF. FENWICK
A German condemnation of German

militarism, in translation by Professor

Fenwick, has been placed in the New

Book Room. Published by the Carnegie

Endowment for International Peace, “The

Problem of an International Court of Jus-

tice,” by Hans Wehlberg, and Walther

Schiicking’s “International Union of the

Hague Conferences,” both written before

1914, admit the evils of Prussianism.

Since the war the German government

has suppressed both books, it is rumored.
“We owe, most unfortunately, our em-

pire not to peaceful domestic effort, but
to war,” writes Professor Schiicking,

“and militarism is so embedded in our

bones that the peaceful organization of

the civilized world is no longer an ideal
in our eyes.”

FIRST CHINESE SCHOLAR ENTERS

 

Sooner Than She Had Planned

Fung Kei Liu ’20 is the first student to
enter Bryn Mawr on the Chinese Scholar-
ship. Fung Liu came to America from
the Canton Christian College a year ago
and entered the Shipley School. She ex-
pected to take two years to prepare for
college, but passed off all but five points
last spring. F. Liu was at the June Con-
ference at Silver Bay and attended the
Bryn Mawr Delegation Meetings. She
went from there to A. Macmaster’s tutor-
ing camp and has now passed off all but
two conditions.

Miss Donnelly is chairman of the Chi-
nese Scholarship Committee and Mrs.
Smith treasurer. The fund is made up
from gifts from alumne and friends of the

BRITISH POET’S DAUGHTER
HERE TELLS OF WORK IN INDIA
The past week-end at college was made
interesting for many students by the pres-
ence on the campus of Miss Mary Dobson,
warden of the Christian University Set-
tlement at Bombay. Miss Dobson, who is
the daughter of the British poet, Austin
Dobson, and a graduate of London Uni-

versity, spoke in Chapel on Friday on her |
work among Indian women, and that af- |
in a more informal way, |

tertoon told,

many thrilling tales of her experiences in

the Hast.

One of the anecdotes of the capture of |
Jerusalem told by Miss Dobson was that |
of the fulfilment of the old prophecy of |
Daniel that one thousand three hundred
five and thirty years would see the end
of the “abomination of desolation” for his
people.
son, the year 1917, just 1335 years after
the Hejira, from which the Mohamme-
dans reckon their calendar, has seen the
end of the Mohammedan rule in Palestine
effected by the British Army under Gen.
Allenby.

“FELLOW WORKERS WITH GOD,”
DR. BARTON’S TEXT

“The world is being made over: God
invites you to be fellow workers with
Him in the new creation,” was the chal-
lenge of Dr. Barton last Sunday in the
first Chapel service of the year.

Dr. Barton indicated in a convincing
way some of the forces of righteousness
now at work. We should not have be-
lieved, four years ago, that the men and
women whom we then knew would have
been capable of the generosity, the hero-
ism, and the Christ-likeness which they
have since shown, he said.

Self-Gov. Announces New Rules
Under a new Self-Government rule stu-
dents may return from Philadelphia un-
chaperoned not later than the train which
leaves Broad Street at 8.15. When they
are changing trains they may take the

NO ARMY CORPS FOR HAVERFORD

Authorities Decline Government Offer

Haverford College, unlike most of the
other colleges for men, will have no divi-
sion of the Students’ Army Training
Corps. The board of managers of the col-
lege voted unanimously to decline the
offer of the government to establish such
a unit, and have issued a statement ex-
pressing their conviction that “the ideals
of citizenship and of higher education
held by the Society of Friends are worth
conserving in the present crisis, and that
those ideals can best be made to serve
the need of the nation if the regular
courses leading to the bachelor’s degree
are maintained without interruption or
confusion.”

Harvard Crimson Discontinued
The Harvard Crimson has suspended
publication, following an order from Col.
Williams, Commander of the Students’
Training Corps, prohibiting prospective
members of the corps from having any
connection with a college publication.

Work in, Factories Part of New
Bryn Mawr. Course

 

Students Placed During Summer in New
England Firms

 

Running a lathe in a factory at 18 cents
an hour was one of the experiences atf-
forded by the new government course in
Industrial Supervision which began at
Bryn Mawr last June. All of the field
work of the course was done in New Eng-
land factories under the direction of Miss
Anna Byzanson, who received weekly re-
ports from the students, held conferences
with them, and arranged visits to various
establishments.

Living in Llysyfran, twelve students,
ten of whom were on scholarships, began
the course June 17th. The first month
was spent in Bryn Mawr and the remain-
ing two in New England industrial plants.
The course is being given at the request
of the Y. W. C. A. War Council under the
Bryn Mawr Carola Woerishoffer Depart-
ment of Social Research, of which Dr.
Susan M. Kingsbury is head, to train
women to beemployment managers and
industrial superintendents of women’s

 

Strangely enough, said Miss Dob- |

work.

Visit Plants Near Philadelphia

Observation trips were made during the
‘month in Bryn Mawr. to establishments
‘in and near Philadelphia where employ-
;ment work was being carried on: among
'them the Eddystone Munitions Plant, the
| Miller Lock Manufacturing Co., the Sutro
Hosiery Co., the General Electric Co., the
| Fayetter R. Plum Co., and the Curtis Pub-
‘lishing Co. Three hours a week were
given to industrial observation, four to
statistics, and six to laboratory problems.

Going to Boston, July 12th, the students
were assigned by Miss Byzanson to vari-
ous manufacturing plants, where they
would gain practical experience in actual
manufacturing, in employment work, and
in scientific management. They were in-
troduced by the War Department and
everywhere welcomed by progressive
manufacturers.

Trims Leather in Shoe Factory

One student worked for three weeks in
the stitching room of the McElwain Shoe

 

Co., Manchester, as an “around-the-room
girl.” - Another was in the cutting room
of the same plant, trimming leather. Of
the others, four were with the U. S. Car-
tridge Co., three in the Winchester Re-
peating Arms Co., New Haven; three in
the General Electric Co., Lynn; two in
the Dennison Manufacturing Co., Fra-

mingham; one in the Lewis Manufaciur-
ing Co., Walpole, Mass., a plant under
scientific management manufacturing

gauze and bandages; one in the Scovil
Manufacturing Co., Waterbury; one in
the Slatersville Finishing Co.; one in the
Cheney Silk Mills, South Manchester, and
one in the Hood Rubber Co., Watertown.

Other firms visited were the Norton
Grinding Wheel Co., the Plant Shoe Co.,
the New England Confectionery Co., and
the Colts Patent Arms.

The college, in making the first public
statement of the manufactories in which
the students worked, wishes to give ree-
ognition to these manufacturers who so
courteously and coGdperatively offered the
opportunity to students of the college for
training in their plant. Without excep-
tion the firms placed the students in posi-
tions where they could get the best train-
ing. The result proves that college
women can, under careful supervision,
work in factories side by side with other
employees without either their fellow
workers or the foreman realizing that
they are not regular employees. The col-
lege women proved so efficient that ob-
jections were made by the foremen when
they were transferred to other depart-

ments.

Course Continues Through Winter

These students have returned to col-
lege and will take up regular seminaries
—such as the Labor Seminary under Miss
Byzanson—in the Carola Woerishoffer
and allied departments. They will spend
one-third of their time in field work’ in
the various establishments in and near
Philadelphia, each siudent concentrating
on one or two establishments.

A second group of ten students has en-
tered college and will pursue much the
same work as the first group, going into
field work during the second semester.

THE COLL

President Thomas’ Address
(Continued from page 1.)

in after the great changes that will fol-
low the reconstruction period at the close
of the war have taken place. It will be a
world in which special privilege will have
disappeared, in which people will stand
or fall on their own merits, in which
everyone, women as well as men, will
have’a job to do, a world of friendliness
and brotherhood. The West shows us a
little of what is coming in the new world,
what ‘those of us who are older have
missed’ in the old world, and what you
will have. In this new socialized worid
that iS coming I can think of nothing
more needed than wise intelligent trained
leadership. Your generation must supply
this. You must save art, letters, learn-
ing and research. You must see to it
that ability not mediocrity is in the sad-
dle, that the great mass of the people are
levelled up and levelled down. Leaders
are desperately needed, and where can
your generation look for leaders if not to
the girls now studying in colleges like
Bryn Mawr?

Women Must Draft Themselves

“Your brothers are, or will soon be, at
the front, fighting the powers of medizval
darkness and oppression. Those who are
not yet at the front are required to give
up liberal studies and take military and
technical training in all the-colleges of
the United States. They have taken the
oath as soldiers and are already in mili-
tary service. They are under the student
military discipline; not permitted to leave
the campus, required to live in common,
give up secret societies, competitive ath-
letics'and many things dear to the heart
of college boys, and in a few months they
will be drafted into officers’ training
camps. Their country requires their ut-
most service and they give it with joy and
pride. You are-not'so fortunate as they.
You are not called with such a clarion
voice to serve your country, but your-duty
is just as clear. It is just as clearly your
duty at a time like this to give up many
of the amusements and side shows of or-
dinary college life, like your brothers, and
devote yourselves as strenuously as they
to your work. I wish that it had been
possible for the Government to draft the
women in our colleges into a vast student
army and put them under military oath to
study their hardest and best. You must
draft yourselves. If the war continues,
remember that the girls now in college
who study faithfully and well will be the
most highly educated intellectual leaders
of their generation. The boys who come
back will have had other kinds of train-
ing, but they will have missed forever the
vision and insight and power that come,
I believe}! only by ‘faithful intellectual

Wilson’s Address a Summons to Women

“In the President’s address to the Sen-
ate on woman suffrage on Monday, Sep-
tember 30th, you have received your call
t6 Service. Nothing that President Wil-
son has done or said has become him
more than this great address. In eleva-
tion of sentiment and language, vision
and sympathy, it is second to none of his
great speeches, not even his Fourth Lib-

.|erty Loan address in New York outlining

the terms of a just peacé and calling for
a league of nations to be organized at
the end of the war. I can do nothing bet-
ter than to close by reading you the most
thrilling parts of this splendid tribute to
the work done by women in the war and
to the work only they can do after the
war. It is a summons to all women to
dedicate themselves afresh. It is a call
to the highest kind of service you are
capable of. It isa task to which you are
called by the President of your country
who has already summoned your brothers
to fight. It is a call to which you can
respond with joy and pride. It is a task
which needs the profoundest preparation
through study and thought. We ask you
to give yourselves to this preparation
here in Bryn Mawr College during the
coming year.”
