GERMAN “WRITTEN” SHOWS MORE -MEDIAN GRADES THAN FRENCH Eighteen Pass Both Examinations In contrast to the unusual number of extreme grades in the first French “written,” the results of the frst German examination, posted Tuesday morning, show a much more even distribution of marks. Merit was made by M. Gilman and B. Sorchan. Twenty-nine passed, 43.28 per cent, and thirty-six, or 53.73 per cent, failed. Eighteen Seniors passed both French and German at the first examinations.

Her injuries are not serious. A party of American women accom- panied by a French officer were being conducted on a tour of reoccupied terri- tory near the front, says the New York Sun. Mile. de Vallette, head of the Amer- ican section of the Press Department of the Foreign Office, who was conducting the trip, picked up a hand grenade, which exploded and killed her instantly. Sev- eral other women of the party were in- jured. Miss Sergeant is the author of French Perspectives, a book on the French peo- ple, and a series of essays in the New Republic, the latest of which, “American Women in France,” appeared in the issue for October 19th. She has been in France for thirteen months under the New Re- public, and during this time has also done investigation work for the Red Cross. On this ground she was adopted last spring as Bryn Mawr’s first war worker under the Service Corps. Miss Sergeant was the first president of the Bryn Mawr English Club, which was founded her Senior year. : RED CROSS MENDS GARMENTS Pressing Need for First Lot Garment mending is in full swing in the Merion Red Cross room. A good-sized ap- portionment, to be filled immediately, has been given the college by Mrs. Ewing, in charge of the garment mending at the Bryn Mawr Red Cross headquarters. Mrs. Ewing talked last Saturday to twenty-five of the college inspectors, about the sewing. She has received from the Philadelphia Arsenal 300 soldiers’ undershirts, 300 underdrawers, and the same number of socks, all to be returned within ten days. Mrs. Nichols described the work done by the Red Cross Reclama- tion Department in Boston. Garments for Draftees “This department is now one of the most important branches of Red Cross work,” says L. Kellogg, head of the War Council Red Cross department. When soldiers go overseas, they leave their old garments to be cleaned, mended and used again. The present allotment is needed for new drafted men in the camps. Room for Forty Workers Forty workers can be accommodated in the Merion work-room, and are wanted day and night. Hours are from 2.00 until 6.00, and from 7.30 until 10.00. Inspec- tion is strict, and each person is respon- sible for her own garment, tagged with her name, JUNIOR AND SOPHOMORE CLASS WAR COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVES M. Carey '20 and M. Foot '21 have been elected Junior and Sophomore Class rep- resentatives om the War Council. As Junior represenative, M. Carey becomes vice-chairman of the Council. The Fresh- man representative will be elected in the .| first fortnight of November. Dorothy Moore ‘15 is studying medicine at Johns Hopkins this winter. BER 31, 1918 /ROBERT NICHOLS SECURED BY ENGLISH CLUB -— Will Lecture November 22 The English Club has secured Mr. Rob- ert Nichols, the British war poet, to speak -before the college on November 22nd. In accepting the invitation of the club, Mi. Nichols said in part: “I hope it will be understood that my defective memory—lI've had shell shock— does not permit me to make an address, and that owing to my hate of reading prose, and my badness at it, this will be only a talk, to which will be at- tached the principal point of my coming, namely, a reading of certain poems (chiefly of war, by Gorbey, Graves, Sas- soon, and, if you wish it, of my own work. The chief difficulty is that I can’t split up my own stuff. As I know both Sas- soon and Graves personally, perhaps I shall be able to give you information which you would not be able to get other- wise.” A copy of Mr. Nichols’ poems, Ardors and Endurances, is in the New Book Room. C. A. CANVASS REAPS 100 PER CENT MEMBERSHIP 190 per cent of the Freshmen at_col- lege have joined the Christian Associa- tion. A canvass was made in all the halls this week by the Membership Com- mittee. L. Kellogg '20, chairman of the committee, will speak at Vespers next Sunday and the names of the graduates and Freshmen who have joined will be read by B. Allard and M. Wilcox '22, the graduate and Freshmen representatives on the Membership Committee. TO ESTABLISH CENTRE OF FRENCH CULTURE AT BRYN MAWR New French Associate Arrives Mme. Claude Riviere, an editor of Paris’s well-known daily, L’Oeuvre, and formerly instructor at the Lycée de Paris, arrived here last week from France to be Associate in French. Teaching in Bryn Mawr Mme. Riviere regards as a patriotic service. Her ob- ject is to establish a centre of French culture here and to help convert the as yet rather superficial relationship which exists between France and America into a more durable intellectual understand- ing. This is a year ‘of victory, and peace will be more difficult than war, said Mme. Riviere. For that reason this bond is es- sential. Mme. Riviere crossed on the Rocham- beau, which has received the Croix de Guerre for successfully resisting four U- boat attacks. She found New York, with its mountains of light and with the excite- ment of a big Liberty Loan drive, like an- other planet after the darkened Paris that she had left. Throughout the bom- bardment of Paris by the German long- range guns and the Gothas Madame was in Paris. Twenty shells fell in the quar- ter where she was living. As many as three “alertes” were sometimes sounded in one night until the cellars came to be centres for social gatherings. Paris in the last year, continued Mme. Claude Riviere, has been cleared of all but the true Parisiennes and their morale is ad- mirable. Among those who crossed with Madame was M. Greber, the architect, who has been chosen to improve the plans of the city of Philadelphia. Mrs. Martin Lowenberg (Margaret Friend "11) has changed her name from Quarantine Probably Lifted Monday Through the effective handling of Dr. ranson and Dr. Ray the college influ- enza epidemic has been reduced to a minimum. Only six cases are left in the infirmary, and the latest information available when the News went to press indicated that the quarantine would be - lifted next week, probably Monday. The epidemic has practically subsided both in Philadelphia and its suburbs. Vaccine Reduced Epidemic The influenza vaccine has materially reduced the number of cases, according to Dr. Branson, Physician-in-chief of the college. About 500 were inoculated. The vaccine was used by Dr. Branson four years ago, when it was not widely known. From being a sceptic, Dr. Bran- son. declares he has become a firm be- liever in its great value. Among his cases some persons who had suffered con- stantly with colds became entirely free from them for three years. The vaccine is composed of well-known disease germs which affect the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract. It is used chiefly to combat influenza, pneu- monia and pus-producing germs. The Same general process is involved as in the better established typhoid vaccine. .. The quarantine rule forbidding college meetings where there are no outsiders was lifted last week. WILL PAY BILLS MONTHLY Mass Meeting Accepts, Measures A regular Pay Day, to be held on the fifteenth of every month, and a monthly contribution to the Five Counties War Chest are among the war measures ac- cepted by a mass meeting of the college Tuesday night on the recommendation of the War Council. The Service Corps was again adopted as the college’s specific form of war work, with $8500 as the quota for the first semester, For failure to do four hours of con- scripted war work, it was decided that students should be brought up before a mass meeting, the meeting to decide the penalty to be inflicted. The work of the Conscription Board was reported by D. Peters '19, that of the Red Cross by L. Kellogg '20 and A. Lan- don "19, Liberty Loan by Miss Franklin, Food Conservation by A. Harrison ‘20, Food Production by Miss Alice Hawkins, and Education by H. Johnson ‘19. Outsiders Barred From Lantern Night Unusually “Muteless” Year An audience exclusively collegiate will see the Freshmen receive their class lan- terns tomorrow evening. Owing to quar- antine regulations no outsiders will be admitted to the cloisters. Unusual volume may be expected both in “Pallas Athene Thea” and “Over the Way to the Sacred Shrine” because of the comparatively small number of mutes among the Sophomores and Freshmen. 1921 has twenty voiceless members and 1922 about twenty-three. The lanterns that will be given to the Freshmen were designed by a Sophomore committee consisting of M. Morrison, chairman, BE. Hill, L. Beekwith, and E. Lowenberg to Lowe.

Yet when there is mischief in the air the most responsible often add fuel to fire and quickly fan a faint —_— into a roaring blaze. ° a; class (or a siedaditities group in that ‘class) behaves in an unbecoming way. Rival classes are loud in their con- demnation, often seeking to administer active chastisement. Sometimes the provocation is strong. None the less, their efforts at retribution result not in a betterment of the situation, but only in a thoroughgoing antagonism between condemner and condemned. In such squabbles, justification can doubtless be found for both parties, but the squabbles themselves are unjustifi- able. In a time when the college is mak- ing every effort to work together as never before, interclass feeling is a disgrace. If some of us can only practice a little forbearance (as has already been done in a few cases) many of the worst offenders will correct themselves. Time Saver Any time-saving device is always wel- come this year. A bulletin‘board hung in Taylor, with the letters of the alphabet, under which notes for students might be slipped on racks, would save committee chairmen, hockey captains and everyone, in fact, an enormous amount of time or- dinarily spent in hastening from Rocke- feller to Radnor in order to announce a meeting or game. Would it not be possi- ble for the Bulletin Board Committee of the Undergraduate Association to take the matter up and help.in the year’s cam- paign to save time as well as food and coal?

[Seven Signatures. ] To the Editor of the College News: From several sources we have heard that the action of certain members of our class in trying to secure properties for the Sophomore dance has offended some of those whose rooms were entered last Sunday.

To the Editor of the College News: This year it is proposed to inaugurate a new scheme for raising the money nec- essary to run Bates House. The custom has been for the Christian Association to raise two-thirds of the required sum on the budget and to depend on a private canvass by the committee for the re- mainder. Last year the Christian Asso- ciation gave us $1000 and we raised $500 by our spring pledges. It seems logical to include in the budget drive all the money for Bates House, thereby connect- ing more closely the activities of the com- mittee with the Association. We hope to raise $1500 on the budget by pledges in November. To do this, it is necessary for all to realize in pledging that to avoid the canvass in the spring and to insure to Bates House the success it has enjoyed this past summer, they must pledge at least twice .the usual sum. Frances C. Clarke, Chairman of the Bates House Com. To the Editor of the College News: Is there something wrong with the col- lege or something wrong with us? It is impossible to hear, day after day, “The most patriotic thing you can do is to stay at college, and prepare yourself for recon- struction work after you graduate,” and not to think there is something in it. Yet as we read of our friends dying at the front, it is hard to believe that we are doing the most we can—going to our classes, eating when we are hungry, sleeping when we are sleepy, having thrills over hockey matches, and revelling in the extreme patriotism of our “mili- tary” drills. There is, of course, Red Cross work to do, and some people do it—but many do not, because naturally they cannot neg-|. lect their committee meetings and song- practices—it -would be lacking in college spirit. The Conscription Board allows such occupations (not to mention rehears- abou tee the Soglees €F calmed ead tec excellent distribution of time thereat? Moreover, if exercise and studying are so regulated as to make us better, phys- is | ically as well as mentally, why is it that | | at Que wad ak the willbe oar the wale ity of people are below par? Why have half-way measures? To my mind there is little use in waving your arms around vacantly for ten minutes twice a week, or in having a show-off drill on the hockey field so that neighbors may see how patriotic is our Alma Mater. Some retort courteously, “But drill is for physical development.” Judging by last week’s performance, I should say they are quite right if the purpose is the de- velopment of the larynx. If, instead of this, we had some vain military discipline, and went about it se- viously, we might consider ourselves as doing something. College work should be war work, and all irrelevant practices» should be abolished. This sounds like the Prussian system, you say? The differ- ence is merely that should this measure go through, it would be by vote of the majority: the minority would be con- trolled by public opinion. If we are going to college at all, we ought to give at least our time, when others are giving their lives, to the country. It makes no difference what sort of war work we are planning to do— whether reconstructing French’ villages, or assisting in a laboratory—but we must have some definite idea and plan our courses accordingly. Why cannot we be a military college, and not join the ranks of those who seem not to be slackers, but who an reality are: people who are just drifting. If we find that we are drifting we ought to get out! In agswer to the argument that mili- tary discipline would weaken our will power and make us puppets, the fact re- mains that those who have that estimable characteristic are living up to those standards anyway, and as for the others —it might wake them up a little bit so that even if they are mental wrecks they won't be physical wrecks! We think we’d hate it! Supposing we did? If we are going to get out of doing the things we hate by coming to college, Bryn Mawr would be better without us in war time! If war disciplines the men, why not the women who are to try to take their places? M. Train ’20. The News will be glad to print a letter signed “Consistency” if the writer will send in her name to the Editor. It is a rule of the News that the name of the writer must accompany every letter, though only the nom-de-plume need be printed. To the Editors: We at Bryn Mawr are not fettered by prudish traditions. After going through Minor Latin, Social Hygiene, and the en- lightening drama featured in the English courses, we feel we are well able to face, without a quiver, the facts of life. But references to the aforementioned facts, and the detailed court records of the an- tics of the underworld, given in a course in “Civilian Relief,” are absolutely unnec- essary and irrelevant and can but arouse our indignation.

THE BIBLE A LIVING BOOK Dr. Wood's First Lecture Enthusiastically Attended — “Bible Study for Busy People,” the first lecture by Dr. Charles Wood of Washing- ton, was finally given last Wednesday after being postponed from the week be- fore on account of the epidemic. “Some people have an interest in the Bible as collectors,”, said Dr. Wood; “others as a piece of good literature and have read it through many times without ever getting the true message.” We need more than a bowing acquaintance with the Bible, he continued, We need a knowledge that comes from reading it thoughtfully every day. The most inter- esting thing about life is living and yet some people are so busy that they do not live. If they really want to live, the Bible is the book that gives light and life. RESPECT FOR PERSONALITY IS STANDARD OF TRUE CHRISTIANITY E. Biddle, President of C. A., Tells Large Audience at Vespers “*Love one another,’ should be the keynote of our lives in college, in the community and in America this year,” said Elizabeth Biddle, president of the Christian Association, last Sunday in vespers. “But that doctrine has been preached so much and practised so little that we might do better to say, ‘Have re- spect for personality.’ Develop your own according to your ideals and give the same opportunity to others. Put the good and the personality of others above your own selfishness. If everyone put this into practise it would be impossible for eight hundred schools in New York to be closed because of a lack of teachers or for an industrial leader to say that he used up one batch of men and then got a new one. If we had love for one another we should have a world safe for democracy or, in other words, the kingdom of God. This is subject to criticism as being idealistic ‘and unpractical. Live by it and see if it is. The job is bigger than we are and therefore it is thrilling.” FRENCH LECTURE SATURDAY A lecture on “Americans in France” will be given in French by Mme.

The Varsity Orchestra. now in process. of formation may later play for the marching. Singing has been part of the Bryn Mawr drill program ever since the exer- cises were first planned. It was sug- gested by ex-Dean Marion Reilly ’01. In men’s colleges, under the S. A. T. C., drill singing has come to be an essential feature. It has been said that group sing- ing of this: kind is the best weapon against fatigue. Every student soldier : becomes auto- matically a member of the “‘glee club” of the United States Army, and college “yell leaders” have given way to song leaders furnished by the government. MEDICAL ASSOCIATION THRIVING, WITH STRONG CONSTITUTION The doctors’ club, formally known as the Medical Association of Bryn Mawr College, has heid two meetings and drawn up a constitution. The document has been passed by the Undergraduate Asso- ciation and is awaiting the approval of President Thomas. The object of’ the association is to bring together the students who are seri- ously interested ‘in*the study of medicine. It purposes to create an interest in the study, to procure medical speakers, to at- tend clinics, and to raise money for med- ical aid. Membership Requirements The charter members are M. L. Mall 20, F. Billstein ’21, M. Foot ’21, D. Lubin ’21, E. Matteson ’21, H. Stone ‘21, K. Woodward ’21: New members will be welcomed after ‘the *final-appreval of the constitution, They must have completed one semester of college work, and signed a paper stating what medical schools they expect to attend, and what science courses they are taking in preparation.

The playing throughout was very fast, and the ball chased up and down the field continually, followed closely by the evenly matched teams. The main strength of both teams lay in their fullbacks, and it was only by un- usual co-operation in their forward line that the Freshmen made their one goal. They showed better teamwork than their opponents, but the Graduates atoned for this by the individual playing of Miss Hibbard, Miss Corstvet, and Miss Ander- ton. E. Donahue was ’22’s brightest star.

THRIFT CAMPAIGN TO GO HAND ; IN HAND WITH HOOVER WORK - Thrift clubs will be given up, according to the plans of the Liberty Loan depart- ment. The committee feels that the col- lege is over-organized, and ‘that only a small percentage of students belonged to the clubs. Better results can be obtained, they believe, through active publicity, combined with the efforts of the Food Conservation Department. Sale of Thrift and War Saving Stamps Students in each hall have definite hours for selling Thrift Stamps. War ig Stamps, in-exchange for filled Thrift Cards, can be obtained during the quarantine through Miss Franklin, chair- man of the Liberty Loan Committee. They may also be sold in Taylor by Mr. McAllister, Bryn Mawr postmaster. The Thrift Stamp agents not published in last week’s News are: Rockefeller, E. Matti- son '21; Denbigh, K. Townsend '20; Rad- nor, H. Goldstein, graduate; Llysyfran, F. Day ‘19.

Undemocratic Elements in German Gov- fe ernment The change which Prince Maximilian wrote had now made the German govern- ment a responsible one, is not thorough- going, Dr. Fenwick pointed out, because the franchise in Prussia, the dominant power in the Bundesrat, is based on a three class system of voting by property. Large property holders have many times more effective a vote than those who hold no property, The members of the Reichstag, the house representing the German people, are not chosen by a democratic franchise, since the last distribution of seats in this assembly was made in 1871. The large industrial cities, which make up the greater part of the democratic element of Germany, have since-then increased their populations and have not received a pro- portionate increase in their representa- tion in the Reichstag, while the landed aristocracy still retain their old propor- tion. DENOMINATIONAL STRENGTH OF 1922 SHOWN BY C. A. STATISTICS Episcopalians predominate among the Freshmen, according to statistics made out by the Federation Committee of the Christian Association.

JAPANESE RESCUE WORKER WRITES CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION Bryn Mawr Funds Acknowledging the $380 sent last year Mr. Tonomura has written the following letter to M. Hardy ’20, treasurer of the Christian Association.- Mr. Tonomura says in part: ‘ “Your kindest favour was received with a great pleasure and I appreciate heartily the deep sympathy and constant helpful- ness of your association to my work here. The work of our association is going on smoothly. Recently our mission meet- ings are held every week at six different places in the city. In the rescuing de- partment, seven hundred people monthly in the average are rescued. One of our co-operating sisters past away at the 28th of July. She was bap- tized at the association and was admitted to a Bible-woman-training school. She worked with a close relation with the As- sociation for ten years after her baptism. She attending at our méeting at the 28th Sunday evening of last month played or- gan for us the hymn of ho. 420. After our last prayer, she passed away to Heaven sitting on the organ stool. She was a good and faithful worker for our Lord and greatly glorified Him in her life. And also recently I began with my few Christian friends the mission work among the workmen of the Cotton Spin- ning Company. I am very happy for I can continue safely my work here by great mercy of our Father in Heaven and deep sympa- thetic helps of all sisters of your associ&- tion. Hoping that you would most kindly remember my best regards to all sisters of the association and praying His bless- ings upon you and all of the association, I remember . Yours-sincerely, Yoshiro Tonomura.” 1918 BACK FOR BANNER SHOW Several members of 1918 expect to spend the week end of Banner Show at college. L. Richardson, M. Gardener, L. Hodges, M. Bacon, A. Newlin, and S. Morton are among those who will almost certainly be here and M. O’Connor, M. Timpson, L. Evans, V. Kneeland and C. Dodge may come. AN EVENING IN SUNNY SPAIN The dark stars of 1920’s Minstrel Show will flame forth as singing senoritas and tough toreadors in the white lights of the Spanish Inn, a cabaret to be opened Sat- urday evening, November 9th, at Banner Show. Al Jolson will doff his bell boy suit for the serape and earrings of an intrepid toreador. A bull fight straight from Spain will give respite from the monotony of the quarantine, while the world-famed rag dolls, with clicking castanets and the phantoms of a shadowy past and the German Orals.
