bm BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1919 — Price 5 Cents , nedia aain Millicent Carey ’20 has been elected Varsity hockey captain for 1919-20. Miss Carey, for two years a player on Varsity and captain of her class team, has also won B. M.’s in water-polo and basketball, and wears a yellow tie, as one of the six all-around athletes on the campus. She 3 is this year a member of the C. A. and Self-Government Boards, and was 1920’s Sophomore president and Freshman vice- president. Until its partial disbanding she was 1920’s representative on the War Council and acted as War Council Sec- retary. “NOT THE END OF RUSSIA,” SAYS MR. WHITTEMORE Peasants Resemble Children With No Consciousness of Statehood “The personality of a child in the shape of a man”-was the definition of the Rus- . «Sian character given by Mr. Thomas Whit- temore, who spoke in Taylor last Friday “under the auspices of the War Council Red Cross and Allied Relief Committee. “The Russian can steal from you and love you at the same moment,” said Mr. Whittemore. “He is apt to be self-cen- tered, lazy, and dishonest, but his faults are those of a child, and, like a child, he can outgrow them,” “This is not the end of Russia,’ went on Mr. Whittemore, “but a moment of catastrophic creation. Russia does not centralize herself because she has yet to assume the consciousness of statehood, having never been a state but merely a government. And the government of Russia has always cut against the grain of race. There is an exaggerated fear in each part of Russia of all the other parts,” “The Church,” said Mr, Whittemore, “is today playing a great though quiet part in Russian national life. In the parish it is the enemy of the Soviet and of Bolshe- vism, which means literally ‘those who want all.’” Mr. Whittemore concluded with an ap- peal against the “hands off” policy in re- gard to Russia. “The Allies’ hands off Russia,” he declared, “means the German whip upon her. The Germans in Russia are like the thread in the pattern of a carpet. Germany can face with equanim- ity the loss of her colonies and the tread- mill of indemnity if she has Russia alone in which to reconstruct herself.” Mr. Whittemore, who has been in Rus- sia since the outbreak of the war, is a member of the Committee for the Relief of War Orphans in Petrograd. He is re- turning to Russia next month. GLEE CLUB TO BE COACHED BY M. JOSEPH CRAIG FOX Mr. Joseph Craig Fox will coach the Glee Club performance of the Pirates of Penzance, to be given the first week in May. Mr. Fox has been associated with the Savoy and with Plays and Players and has both coached the Pirates of Pen- zance and acted in it. He will direct the dancing as well as the singing. Try-outs with Mr, Fox are being held this week, the cast to be decided as soon ALUMNA WAR WORKERS WILL SPEAK JANUARY 31 IN GYMNASIUM Undergraduates Invited A special open meeting of the Alumnze Association, the subject of which will be the war work of the Bryn Mawr Alumnze in this country and overseas, will be held in the gymnasium Friday evening, Janu- ary 31st, at eight o’clock. Miss Marion Reilly ’01 will preside. Among the speak- ers will be Mrs. F, L. Slade (Caroline McCormick ex-’96) and Mis’ Ellen Kil- patrick (ex-’99). Miss Slade has been doing personnel work for the Y. M. C. A. and was vice chairman of the Mayor’s Committee of the League for National De- fense of New York City. Miss Kilpatrick is from Baltimore and has recently re- turned from France, where she did volun- teer canteen work under the Red Cross. After the scheduled speeches the meet- 0} ing will be open for five-minute speeches from the floor. The aim of the speeches will be to show directly what the Bryn Mawr Service Corps has accomplished. The meeting is under the auspices of the Alumnez Association, but will be open to undergraduates. A reception to the Faculty of the Col- lege in gymnasium will be held after the meeting at 9.30. CHAPLAIN OF BLUE DEVILS TELLS OF FRANCE AT WAR $75 Netted for 1922’s Service Corps “Germany put material forces into the War—France put her soul,” said Abbé Flynn, chaplain of the Blue Devils, in a lecture given for the benefit of the 1922 Service Corps last Saturday evening. Chaplain Flynn wore the decoration of the legion of honor. About $75 was netted for the Freshman Service Corps. “Germany made a mistake in the psy- chology of the nations. She did not dream that little Belgium would stand up against the German army. The idea that Great Britain and America would en- ter the war seemed ridiculous, nor did Germany understand France. She thought there would be internal discord, but on the day that war broke out France stood up as one man to face Germany. I wish that I could evoke the soul of France before you. One of the characteristics of France is unity. I have found the same unity in America. Unity of nations came with unity of command. He’s a genius; he’s our idol—Foch. France will never forget the day that Pershing came with 100,000 men and said to Foch, “They are yours!’ Victory is due to the courage of the American soldier, and in the name of France I thank them.” Clearness cf aims, Chaplain Flynn said, is another characteristic of the soul of France. France was fighting for freedom and justice—not for annexation. She was not going to annex Alsace and Lor- raine. Annexation means taking some- thing that is not yours, while Alsace and Lorraine have been French for three hun- dred years. France is creative and chiv- alrous, but she is above all heroic. One million three hundred thousand men have been killed in the war yet she is not “bled white” as some Americans said. “On January 1, 1918, France had 4,700,000 men in the field. These men set their as possible. ALUMNA: ANNUAL MEETING A WEEK FROM SATURDAY USE OF RUSSELL SAGE BEQUEST WILL BE DISCUSSED BY ALUMNA: Annual M ig Next Week in the The Future of the Bryn Mawr Patriotic Farm and the possibility of a permanent Bryn Mawr Service Corps will be among the topics discussed at the Annual Alumn- nz Meeting, which will be held at the end of next week. Another subject of in- terest will be the Russell Sage bequest and how the money can be used in the best interests of the College. A Pension Fund or a higher rating of salaries have both been suggested in this connection. Reports of the alumna committees that will be read are: Finance, Miss Martha Thomas °'90; Academic, Miss Frances Brown ’09; Conference Committee, Mrs. Richard Barrows ‘08; James B. Rhoads Scholarship, Mrs. William Roy Smith ‘01; Farm Committee, Miss Alice Haw- kins 07; Joint Committee of the Service Corps, Miss Marion Reilly '01; Students’ Loan Fund, Miss Martha Thomas '90; Alumne Directors of the College, Miss Elizabeth Kirkbride ’06; Athletics, Miss Maud Dessau ’13; Alumneze Quarterly, Isabel Forster '15. Reports on the local branches and clubs will be made by the secretaries, After the meeting the members of the Alumne Association are invited by Presi- dent Thomas to luncheon at the Deanery.

TWENTY-FOUR MAKE FRENCH CLUB Half of New Members Freshmen With the admission of twenty-four new members through the conversational try- outs last week, the membership of the French Club has been almost doubled. Of the new members eleven are Fresh- men, five Sophomores, five Juniors and three Seniors. They are: 1919: A. Landon, A. Moore, E. Rondi- nella. 1920: J. Conklin, N. Gookin, T. James, E. Stevens, E. Williams. 1921: M. Baldwin, D. Lubin, H. Rubel, A. Taylor, K. Ward. 1922: BE. Brown, C. Cameron, H. Crosby, M. Krech, V. Liddell, P. Norcross, O. Pell, F. Robbins, A. Rupert, B. Rogers, M. Vor- hees. Bryn Mawe May Join Phi Bet Kappa In compliance with a unanimous vote of the Senior Class, a committee has been appointed by the president to confer with President Thomas on the question of in- stituting a chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity at Bryn Mawr. The conditions of membership would be fixed by the College. The general opinion is that it would be open to students graduating cum laude, as well as to those receiving magna cum laude and summa cum laude, and that it would extend to the alumna, The question, before it can be decided, will come up before the Faculty and the Undergraduate Association. The Senior Committee is M. Thurman (ex officio), M Martin L. Wood, A. Landon and M. Gil- man. SECOND SCIENCE NO LONGER A REQUIREMENT Post-Major Work or Five-hour Elec- tive May be Substituted Pym In place of the second year of required Science or any of the substitutes for it, five hours of post-major work in one or both group subjects, or a five-hour block in any other subject may be taken, ac- cording to a recent decision of the Cur- riculum Committee to go into effect for 1919-20. The five hours thus afforded differ from the ten hours of free elective only in the fact that, unless post-major work is taken, the five-hour block may not be split into two- and three-hour courses, It is hoped that the throwing open of this second year of Science will add greatly to the number of students taking post-major work. Under the new entrance requirements students electing the two-point option of offering a fourth language in place of the one point in Science and one point in English History, will be required to take in college one half-year of Science and one half-year of History, or one full year of Science or one full year of History. Students electing the group of History, however, will not be allowed to take the option of a full year of History, nor will students electing the group of Science be allowed to take the option of a full year of Science. To enable students to take the half-year of Science and half-year of History in one year, the elective course in U. 8. History will be given at nine on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and another elective course of three hours a week will be given on Mon- days, Wednesdays and Fridays, which students electing Chemistry for the first semester may elect in the second semes- ter. Students choosing Geology or Bi- ology for the half-year of Science may enter the ordinary minor course in His- tory in the second semester. No Chapel Service Sunday There will be no chapel. next Sunday, since Rabbi Wise, who was to have spoken, is serving abroad. Vespers will be led by M. Tyler '22. Junk Realizes $3 by Sale of Old Paper The Junk Committee has made $3.08 by selling 670 pounds of newspapers, scrap paper, and rubber. This is the first step toward its yearly $20 contribution to the Chinese scholar now at St. Hilda's School in Wuchang, China. Margaret (Continued on page 6, column 1.) Scott ‘04 is the principal of St. Hilda's. Alumnze Will Get Out “News” Next Week A special Alumne number of the News will be issued next week by the Alumnez. The editors will probably be members of the Academic Committee which opens its sessions today. * The B. M. Woman's War Service Undoubtedly the war work of Bryn Mawr alumnz loses much in picturesque- ness from the fact that they are scat- tered all over Europe, rather than con- centrated in one region where they could make a name as a college group. The Smith student thinks and speaks of “the 8. C. R. U.” in glowing terms; the Bryn Mawr student is rather apt to conceive of “the Service Corps” as an abstract obli- gation, the function of which it is almost impossible to visualize. The work of Bryn Mawr women in the war has been done not under the name of the College but of the Red Cross or Y. M. C. A. Their achievements have been varied and essential. Of the thir- teen members of the Service Corps six are working in France, three in Italy, two in Russia, one in England, and one—the only one not an alumna or former stu- dent—in Persia. Their tasks range from hospital work among the French repatriés to food relief work for the children of Russia. Approximately $25,000, raised largely by the alumne, but in part by the undergraduates, has been contributed to their support. A picture of the work of these, and other Bryn Mawr alumne not under the Service Corps, will be given by alumnze speakers at a special meeting to be held Friday of next week in the gymnasium. For all who can plan their time so as to be present, this will afford the means of getting a vivid impression of Bryn Mawr’s part in the war. In the Library In these days of stress many are doubt- less unbalanced by a frantic desire to pass their examinations at any cost. Nothing else, we assume, could account for the depravity of a class who, in the common verdict, deserve to be “branded.” Their offense is that of keeping library books from their fellow students. If they take a book out overnight, they content themselves with getting it back any time before nine the next morning. Their im- agination does not reach far enough to picture the student who gets over to the library by eight expressly to read the book in question. They take books out before 9.30 at night, not realizing that it is a concession for them to be allowed to take books out at 9.30. They keep books three and four hours, instead of two; then in an effort not to be caught, put the books back themselves—on the wrong reserve. Hardest of all to forgive, they take out a book on the eve of an examination without signing for it, leaving their class- mates who had reserved the volume vainly searching the reserve shelves, re- flecting bitterly om the baseness of student-kind. n| ad wo wah to now in what 90 o pos! | graduate ‘ Seadants are interested _ 80 that it will be possible to. ‘investigate these fields. The Appointment Bureau during the last year has been kept very busy by the |demand for college graduates to fill posi- tions in war industries and under the gov- ernment. Soon after the United States ‘went to war we were asked by the De- partment of Labor and the Civil Service Commission to help them in filling ade- quately the many openings. Six posi- ‘|tions in Washington were filled by the Bureau directly and by circulating the _|information that was given us concerning positions we helped to fill many more. I am still acting as adjutant for the De- partment of Labor, but the majority of the calls have now been cancelled and this part of the work is almost closed. During the present year the Appoint- ment Bureau hopes to coédperate closely with the professional division of the U. S. Employment Service. The office in Phil- adelphia has expressed its willingness to coéperate with us not only in finding pro- fessional and business openings but in finding teaching positions as well. We hope to keep in touch with the offices in all parts of the country. I am now trying to obtain permission for Miss Butcher and Miss Scott, who were formerly in charge of the Bureau of Occupations in Philadelphia, and who are now working for the Government Employment Service, to speak at college and to give vocational advice in personal interviews as was done last year. Miss Butcher is at present tak- ing a course in employment work in Washington and will afterwards organize employment bureaus in different parts of Pennsylvania and she will be able to tell us about the general work of this very in- teresting branch of government service as well as speak on the specific openings : at present. The Appointment Bureau, in codépera- tion with the Students’ Vocational Com- mittee, is planning to hold a vocational conference, similar to the one held last year, on some Saturday in March. There will probably be conferences on teaching, medicine, social work, business, editorial and literary work, and openings in indus- try. Any suggestions for further subjects for the conferences will be welcomed, but must be given promptly. Yours very sincerely, Helen Taft, Dean of the College. To the Editor of the College News: The starting of the “New Book Room Club,” announced in your last issue, makes one hope that perhaps a few im- provements in the interests of the readers of current literature may be instigated. Would it be possible, for instance, for the Library to allow readers only one week ‘| for new books that are of popular interest instead of two weeks. Two weeks means that only about fifteen people can read a new book during one year. Also, how would it be to have the Den- bigh Fiction Library under the direct management of the Library, so that it would not live and die by fits and starts as it is so apt to do at present.

The subject of the address is “The Old World and the New.” manager of the Senior Class Book. Miss Hollis, until her resignation last Novem- ber, was Circulation Manager of the News. $440 worth of War Saving Stamps and Thrift Stamps were sold under the Lib- erty Loan Committee between the first of November and Christmas. Teas with outside speakers will be given by the Suffrage Club next semester. President Thomas will speak at the first tea, which is to be given immediately after mid-years, it is hoped.

BEAU-LESS CLUB HAS RIVAL In hot rivalry of the Beau-less Club, ad- mission to which is open to those beau- less for no obvious reason, there has been started the Hopeless Beau-less Club, open to those who for obvious reasons are left uncourted. H. Huntting "19 is president of the little band, most of whom had been turned down as possible members in the older organization. the position of collector ought to be a paid one. Every association elects a treasurer, and instead of having special hall collectors on Pay Day why couldn't all the treasurers of the associations or clubs. whose dues or pledges fall on that day be in one central building, either Taylor Hall or the gymnasium, and each one receive her own funds directly from the people who are paying. This would save an endless amount of calculating and dividing of money, and each treas- urer would only work a short time in- stead of the hall collector labouring for hours over the petty cash of many or- ganizations. For the collection of the small personal bills Miss Hollis mentions, such as for picnics, suppers, etc., a spe- cial “debtors” table might be provided, at which either the creditors or collectors working on a small percentage basis, charged against the account, could pre- side.

MUST HELP CHINA AS AN ALLY Chinese Democratic at Heart “We are concerned with China as an ally—and by international friendship we owe China the best that we can give,” said Dr. J. E. Williams in chapel Sunday night. As an ally China built ships, trans- ported food, and could have supplied men, iron, steel, and coal if she had not been impeded by her government. The recent revolt against the monarchy of Yuan Chi Ki, however, is evidence of the Chinese determination for representa- tive government and “undermining con- viction for democracy.” The government, however, ran the schools so much better than the missions did that the two forces combined, and in Nanking six churches combined efforts in the work of the university where Med- ical, Forestry, and Agricultural courses are given. In regard to religion, Dr. Williams pointed out that Confucianism with its basis of filial piety makes an excellent preparation for Christianity. He urged that America, who has suffered so little in the war, give China what she needs and asks, and quoted a letter from Mr. C. T. Wang, who is representing China at the Peace Conference, that “the time will come when the government will be controlled by men of high ideas and high ideals taught by our Lord.” FOLK DANCING TAKES TRENCHES BY STORM Devotees of folk-dancing will be inter- ested to hear that this form of exercise has become widely popular with the men in France. Ever since a day’s exhibition of the dancing by a Y. M. C. A. enter- tainer last September there has been a growing feeling in favor of lightening the monotony of perpetual drill by folk- dancing lessons. According to the New York Times, “new centers are constantly being formed, and expert teachers are holding normal classes for officers and privates.” Hospital Visiting After Midyears Volunteers are needed for hospital vis- iting, which will begin after mid-years. Applications should be made at once to E. Lanier, Llysyfran, in order that the applicants miss nothing of interest. The schedule for the various hospitals is as follows: Children’s Homeopathic Hospital — Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 2 p. m. Home of the Merciful Saviour (for crippled children)—Tuesday and Satur- day at 3.30 p. m. Children’s Hospital—Thursday after- noon and Saturday mornings. Stockings Appreciated by Lighthouse Miss Agnes Hamilton, of “The Light- house” at Kensington, Philadelphia, writes that the filled stockings sent by the Sewing Committee gave a great deal of pleasure to the children at the com- munity Christmas party.

Explanation of Fancy Dives The unit count of each fancy dive is as follows: Back jack, 1.2; front jack, 1.1; front flip, 1.5; back flip, 1.5; flying Dutch- man, 1.9; half twist, 1.4; hand stand, 1.2; back dive, 1.9; swan, .8; sailor, .7; side, 7. The dives are marked primarily on the basis of a possible 10, and by the multiplication of this rating with the stated unit the final score is obtained. (For example, a hand stand rated as worth 6 out of a possible 10 would score 7.2.) * The present swimming records, on the basis of which the requirements were drawn up, are as follows: 68 ft. front—K.

CHURCH STILL IN ITS INFANCY, SAYS DEACONESS GOODWIN Most of Its Faults Are the Faults of Humanity “The mistakes of the Church are the mistakes of extreme infancy,” declared Deaconess Goodwin in her talk last Sun- day in Vespers. In future years people will be amazed at how little the twen- tieth century knew about Christianity. People who criticise the Church should remember two things: First, that its faults are the faults of humanity—of a group of human beings trying to do a divine thing; secondly, that the Church is made up of persons of all races and temperaments and must provide for such widely opposite forms of worship as those of the Southern Italian and the Scottish Highlander. The Church today is doing a great deal that is outside of its province—just as in the past the Church undertook a great many things—such as caring for the sick and providing public playgrounds and libraries, which have since been taken over by the state. It is always right for the Church to fill any human need, so long as its main function is not lost sight of, Deaconess Goodwin said. “This, I be- lieve, is to bring every living human be- ing into communion with Jesus Christ. As a great British schoolmaster said, ‘The friendship of Christ—the very purpose for which the living God became incar- nate.’” EXERCISE DURING MIDYEARS During midyears the gymnasium and swimming poo! will be open daily for the use of students. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 5.30 there will be folk dancing for any- body and everybody. No special costume required. SPORTING NEWS The swimming pool is open for swim- ming authorizations and try-outs for the lower classes from 12 to 1 daily during midyears. Mr. Bishop will coach for the swim- ming meet every Tuesday evening from now to February lith, inclusive. The two meets are scheduled for February —_ Who Makes Plea for Governmental Backing which will sail in a few days for Danzig,” Frederic C. Walcott, of the United States Food Administration. Mr. Walcott, who college last year. He has had charge of the negotiations which led to this relief and will distribute the food in Poland. One-third will be condensed milk, one- third fats and vegetable oils, and one- third cereals. The cost will be approxi- mately $2,225,000, paid out of contribu- tions by Polish and Jewish Americans. “The Jews,” Mr. Walcott states, “have furnished an object lesson in giving that should be the keynote of all our relief work. The elimination of politics and race prejudices, and substitution in their place of love of justice, fair play and rights of humanity, born of a determina- tion to relieve suffering, are worthy of emulation.” Bolshevism Feeds on Starvation Regarding present conditions in Poland Mr. Walcott said: “Imagine a country nearly twice the size of New York State, containing 20 million people, a flat alluvial plain, well watered, with large forests and fertile fields, and you have Poland in peace times. “Take from that country practically all the live stock, cattle, horses, pigs, geese, all sources of meat and dairy prod- ucts, and then requisition (the German word for steal) all the cereals and vege- tables for an army of 2144 million men, returning to the natives only what is left after feeding the army and constabulary, make it a crime by proclamation for any Pole to feed any other Pole who has re- fused to go into Germany and work—de- population by starvation—keep all this up for four and a half years, and what is left? “In spite of all this Poland has hung on, struggling for liberty, and now that we have access to her she is threatened by another force more terrible than the first, Bolshevik revolution, differing little from the Prussian system. Bolshevism feeds on starvation and famine. It is working upon a population there which has lost nearly all of its young children, while those remaining are so undernour- ished that their bones are soft and break from the slightest strain. Need Support of Allied Governments “Poland’s relief is a governmental un- dertaking. The relatives and friends of these people can not do more than com- mence the work of saving. Will the civ- ilized world look on in silence now that the curtain of steel has been lifted? The governments of Europe and America must help; these people must be supplied not only with the present necessities of life, but with working capital for the future. Their factories have been de- stroyed, their raw materials stolen or burned. Their only hope comes from others. American agents of the Joint Distribu- tion Committee and the Polish Relief or- ganizations will be on hand to help pro- tect these supplies, to insure their safe arrival and distribution, and in order to report to the people of the United States the exact conditions and manner of dis- tribution. Of present conditions in Poland Her- bert Hoover has said: “The mortality in cities, particularly among children, is ap- palling for lack of fats, milk, meat and bread. The situation in bread will be worse in two months.” Mr. Walcott is now writing a book on “The Romance of the Food Administra- ved deehiionse bias %.&. saan | “Food for the first relief to reach| }Poland in four’ and a half years is. ‘now being loaded on the ‘Westward Ho,’ according to a recent ’tatement of Mr. is an uncle of L.

B.—Refreshments served sub aqua. GRADUATE ATHLETICS E. Nisson has been appointed tempo- rary Graduate swimming captain. Miss Nisson, who is leaving Bryn Mawr on February Ist, held the 75 ft. record at Leland Stanford last year, and was on the team which defeated the crack San Fran- cisco A. A. team 49-6. She did the 75 ft. swim in 16 2/5 sec. M. Guthrie is the Graduate basketball captain. Graduate basketball practice is held every Monday night in the gymna- sium. Miss Guthrie, who graduated from the University of Missouri, "16, has been at various times captain of all the major sports there: hockey, basketball and out- door baseball.

YALE CONSERVATIVE IN AWARD OF WARTIME DEGREE Chooses Middie Course Between Harvard and Columbia The attitude of Yale, in relation to that of other men’s colleges, in the awarding of wartime degrees, is made clear by President Hadley in his annual report. Harvard maintains that the Bachelor’s degre is not to be given for military serv- ice at all, whereas Columbia goes to the opposite extreme of giving a degree to every 1918 man who entered the army. Yale’s stand, President Hadley defines as “intermediate.” Yale “defers giving the degree and gives it only on the basis of specially meritorious service.” Any student who withdrew after the completion of his Junior year may receive his degree either by coming back for a single term, or by submitting his service record in lieu of additional residence, thus presenting himself as a candidate for the degree “honoris causa.” MEDICAL EXAMS NOW ON Medical examinations for Seniors, Jun- iors, Sophomores and Graduates are being held daily in the infirmary. Those who have not yet been examined are asked to sign for time on a slip posted on the gymnasium bulletin board. Typists, Pianists, and Vocalists All Needed Clerical workers who can typewrite are greatly needed at the Community Center, also persons who can play the piano. Miss Smith is also looking for someone who can start a class in rhythmic stories and singing games, and asks all who have any time to come down and work at the will be held on Wednesdays. Working with M. Carey ’20, for Febru- ary 12th, are H. Lanier '19, Z. Boynton '20, A. Harrison °20, K. Johnston ‘21, and E. Anderson '22; and with L. Wood '19, for February 19th, F. Day ‘19, H. Huntting 19, D. Hall '19, and P. Smith '22. The subjects for these two discussions will be “Reconstruction Government,” and “The New Industrial Order.” On February 26th Miss Leville, of Vas- sar, with M. Thurman ‘19, B. Brace '20, E. Luetkemeyer #20, J. Brown ’21, and O. Howard ’22, will give the talk on “The Coming Internationalism.” 3. Cecil °21 will present “Re-making Human Nature,” on March 5th, with E. Biddle '19, M. Bal- lou ’20, C. Bickley '21, H. Hill ’21, and H Guthrie ’22. The course will be summed up on March 12th by Dr. Gilkey in a talk, “Why We Follow Christ in Rebuilding.” A canvass of those who are interested will be taken on Wednesday, February 5th, and those who sign are expected to attend the greatest number of meetings. FACULTY GIVE BOOKS TO C.A LIBRARY Dr. Barton has presented the Christian Association with a copy of “The Chris- tian Approach to Islam,” a book written by his cousin, Dr. James Barton, Foreign Secretary of the American Board of Com- missioners for Foreign Missions. Dr. James Barton, in his preface, claims that the recent World War has had a more startling effect upon Mohammedanism than upon any other religion. “The Caliphate has been overthrown, the Holy War rejected and while millions still believe in the Mohammedan religion few now believe in the dream of Moslem domination.” One chapter on “The Mo- hammedan Conception of God” is written by Dr. George Barton. Another book presented to the Chris- tian Association by Miss Alice Hawkins ’0T, is the Life of Carola Woerishoffer '07. This book will be of special interest to the social workers in the C. A.

The sketch of General Gordon shows that he was not always the blameless knight in shining armor, but was often erratic and unmanageable. “Strachey would like, in most cases, to destroy the myth of the hero,” continued Dean Taft. “He considers that in the past biographies have been too much in the nature of funeral sermons and have been far too long. The authors have felt that they had to be champions of the men, while a disinterested point of view would make biography much more valu- able.” IN PHILADELPHIA Adelphi—“Oh, Mama!” Next week, Nat Goodwin in “Why Marry?” Broad.—Maclyn Arbuckle in “The Bet- ter ’Ole,” by Bruce Bairnsfather.

Dessau '22 was later appointed by the board to act with the Faculty committee of the new book room in choosing new books. The budget will be voted on at a meet- ing of the Association after mid-years. In order to bring more people into con- tact with the work of the Association, it was suggested that every attempt be made to give work to all who signed up for committees and to have each execu-. tive on every committee report to her classes about its activities.

One of the results of the war is a broadening of re- ligious ideas. At the front Protestant chaplains, Jewish rabbis and Catholic priests cracked jokes together,’ said Abbé Flynn. Often we would let the rabbi,pass in front of us, saying, ‘You go you are the Old Testament, while we are only the new.’ But we were al- ways helping each other. We were on the same job, and we tried to see what united us instead of what divided us.” CALENDAR Sunday, January 26 m.—Vespers. Speaker, M. Tyler 22.

Accurate descriptions of the furs exposed. Several sets of furs that an- swered the description were turned in by the searchers but proved to be not the ones that had been lost and were re- turned to the owners. Two pieces of jew- elry, which had been reported stolen and were being searched for, were found in the room of the owner. Students Worked with College Officials The dining-room doors were closed at ten minutes of seven and students asked to remain in the room until the search was over. To insure a rapid and thor- ough search of about 500 rooms it was necessary to have the assistance of from 40 to 50 people. The plan adopted was to have each room searched by two peo- ple, one a college official or a member of the Executive Board of Self-Government, the other a student who was a member of the Advisory Board or an official in some student organization. The buildings were divided into sec- tions of about twenty rooms, and each section assigned to two people. The war- dens and housekeepers were assigned rooms in their own halls; the students in every case went to different halls than the ones in which they lived. Other as- signments were made in rotation. Searchers Were Not Told in Advance The students called on to assist, with the exception of the president of Self- Government, were not notified of the plan. The members of the Christian As- sociation board and the Self-Government board were asked to go to a meeting in the Christian Association Library at 6.15; the Athletic board and others who would not naturally have a meeting here were asked to go to the gymnasium office at 6; others were asked to meet an appoint- ment in the New Book Room. At 6.20 all the groups had united in the C. A. Library. The doors were closed and the plan announced. It was asked that any who did not care to take part should re- main during the search in the library under the same restrictions that were to be asked of the students in the dining- rooms. No one objected and everyone by the janitress of the gymnasium, which | [| came as the culmination of a number of | ff reported thefts of jewelry and other arti-| and other articles made it seem probable | fi] that if they were in the halls they could | be found.

Howland dining-room doors were closed each hall group left the library and went directly to the hall assigned, where they were ad- mitted by the warden and locked in the hall until the search was over. Each two people had a paper on which were the numbers of the rooms in their section and a written report was made on each room. This report was taken back to the C. A. Library, signed by each person, and re- turned to the business manager. Realizing that the College, by constant disappearances, had been put in such a position that any and every means was justifiable, the students in all the halls except Rockefeller, where there were a number of objections, gave their full co- operation.
