12, 1919 MADAME BRESHKOVSKAYA WILL TELL OF RUSSIAN REVOLUTION Has Spent Life in Effort to Rouse Peasants to Overthrow Aristocracy DENOUNCES BOLSHEVISM “Tm a Social Revolutionist and I will be till I die, but God save us from the Bolsheviki,” quotes the “Literary Digest” from Madame Catherine Breshkovskaya, “the little grandmother” of the Russian revolution, who will speak Saturday eve- ning in the gymnasium on “he Russian Revolution as I Have Seen It.” Madame Breshkovskaya’s mission in America is to tell the American people the truth about Russia, and to organize help for the 4,000,000 Russian children orphaned by the war and the Bolsheviki régime. She wants education, books, and a chance for the new generation in Rus- sia. Has Joyful Welcome at Wellesley Wellesley College greeted Madame Breshkovskaya, for the second time two weeks ago. The undergraduates sang to her outside President Pendleton’s house, where she was staying, and three stu- dents gave a Greek dance. After a speech of welcome from the president of the Students’ Association, Madame Breshkovskaya was presented with $100 from the Wellesley War Chest for the Russian Orphan Fund. Siberian Exile for 30 Years Born of the nobility, Madame Bresh- kovskaya has devoted her life to bringing about the Russian revolution. Distressed even as a child at the condition of the peasants, she labored to teach and ele- vate them. Soon after her marriage to (Continued on page 2, column 3.) Miss Allard Awarded Fellowship Beatrice Allard, last year’s president of the Graduate Club, has been awarded the Alice Freeman Palmer Research Fellow- ship. by Wellesley College for the year 1919-20. Miss Allard is Mt. Holyoke ‘15, and for the past four years she has been doing graduate work in Semitic lan- guages at Bryn Mawr under the direction of Dr. Barton.

M. C. A. leader on March 28 and 29, and an inter-hall competition on May Day are in- cluded in a schedule drawn up last week at a joint meeting of the Athletic Board, class-presidents, song-leaders and the present singing committee. Class singing will be in no way inter- fered with by the community singing, which is open to everyone and makes no distinction between mutes and others. Song-leaders, elected by halls from nominations made by the present com- mittee, will make up next year’s college song committee. The chairman will be the college song mistress, chosen as usual at the annual elections of the Athletic Associations. It is probable that part of the hall drills will be given up to hall singing, and each hall will compose a col- lege song for the competition held in the spring. The nominations for hall song-leaders will be made from those attending the normal classes in song-leading to be given in the gymnasium by Mr. Robert Law- repee on the afternoons of March 28 and 29. Mr. Lawrence, who is at the head of all Y. M. C. A. camp and community sing- ing, will speak on singing and its place in the life of a community on the evening of March 28. His lecture will be followed by a sing. He may lead an all- college sing the next evening. The climax of the weekly college sings to be held throughout the spring, will come on the afternoon of May Day, in a special celebration on the lower athletic field, probably in connection with outdoor folk dancing. The halls will come on the field by companies, and sing the college song composed by them before a commit- tee of judges. The winning hall will re- ceive a trophy to be kept in the hall. Ninety people came out for the Com- munity Sing on Tuesday. Lois Kellogg 20, the Junior member of the committee, led. Several students were picked from also the ranks to lead in turn on the platform. The committee decided on the following people for the normal class: B. Krech ‘21, EB. Taylor21, A. Harrison "20 will be chosen later. B. Cecil *21, L. Ward ‘21, L. Reinhardt Others 99 C.

The actors in the second play, “The Maid of France,” by Harold Brig- house, labored under tremendous difficul- ties imposed by the mawkish sentimental- ity of plot and lines. “A Merry Death” Skilfully Staged The. striking setting for the Russian play in reds, purples, black and white, toned by skilful lighting produce a definite single effect of luminous dark- ness, won “A Merry Death” the distinc- tion of artistic novelty. Lucille Babcock, “innocent,” Pierrot, characterized part completely than of actors in the play.

The stained glass saints of the cathe- dral windows were worthy a better set- ting than the distractingly spotty stone wall in which they were set. The actors and managers of this play are to be commiserated on its unfortunate choice, for which they were not responsi- ble.

THEATRE A POSSIBILITY The possibility of building a cheap the- atre for college dramatics will. be dis- cussed at an Undergraduate meeting. The classes would lend the necessary money to the Undergraduate Association, which would borrow on a _ corporation basis instead of paying the office each time for the erection of a stage. Starting the auditorium of the Building immediately will be an alternate possibility considered. The question of enlarging the scope of the Schedule Committee to include con- iference with the Office Committee about ' dates of plays and other entertainments wing Students’ | will be discussed Why Wait Till Easter? A stretch of ten weeks between mid- year and Easter vacation is bound to have a deadening effect upon everyene’s effort and enthusiasm, an effect which the short crowded weeks after Easter by no means serve to remedy. Yet such is the schedule to which we are bound when- ever there happens to be a late Waster. Many other colleges avoid this unequal distribution of work by having a fixed spring vacation, for instance, the last week in March and the first week in April. Certainly the advantages of hav- ing a vacation midway in the semester are unquestionable, such a vacation af- fording just the relaxation necessary to save a certain per cent of our number from “breakdowns.” For this second se- mester vacation to be dependent upon a “movable feast” (which always seems to fall, perversely, at just the wrong time), defeats one of the chief ends which the vacation should serve. Hunting the Snark Hunting the snark is nothing to hunt- ing books in the reserve room, for the simple reason that there are no books— it’s alla myth. Two minor French classes of thirty students each have been trying to survive on one copy of each required reading book. There are said to be copies in the hall libraries, but they are rare and transient. A class of sixty in Poets are reduced to the same situation—and what books there are belong to the professor. Is not there some way by which the col- lege can save enough money to buy—say one book for every fifty people. Much as the Bryn Mawr student loves her food there are times before quizzes when she would willingly sacrifice mushrooms and other expensive accessories for a chance at some illusive book. Sophomore Rules The term class spirit has been anath- ema ever since an incident effectively staged in Bryn Mawr village a year ago last fall. That incident sounded the death-knell of the Radical faction then in control, and the Conservatives, with their doctrine of sisterly, but not necessarily Class-sisterly love, have been in the as- cendant ever since. They are now beginning to assert their power in a positive way. They propose that Sophomore rules be applied with more gentle ministrations. No more gowned figures and dark cellars may be the attributes of the “Reading of the Rules.” Maybe, instead, the rules will come to be posted in Taylor or announced : " Aligone who in taterested please soo me} ly after chapel any morning in Taylor. Helen Emily Kingsbury, Chairman of the Social Service Committee. : IN THE NEW BOOK ROOM Some of the war poetry suggested by Miss Spurgeon in her lecture here last fall, has just been received by the New Book Room from Bngland.

Russian Revolution (Continued from page 1.) a young nobleman, a liberal, she realized no improvement could be brought about until the autocratic government was over- thrown. Leaving her home, she lived among the peasants, suffering with them, teaching them, until for her revolutionary ideas she was imprisoned, and sent to Siberia for more than twenty years. After her release, she continued to rouse the peas- ants, avoiding the police by tricks. Cap tured again, she was exiled until the revo- lutionary outbreak. Fights Red Guards at 73 “With the end of Russian autocracy Madame Breshkovskaya was hailed as the foremost of Russia’s deliverers,” says the “Literary Digest.” “Then, under the bloodier autocracy, although she was 73 years old, she took up the fight against Leniné, Trotzky, and the Red Guards. ‘To get to this country to enlist help, she rode horseback scores of miles, lay in hiding from them, ran risks, and endured priva- tions most women 50 years younger would have hesitated before attempt- ing.’” Tickets for Madame Breshkovskaya’s lecture may be obtained from D.

Fuller and G. Woodbury, went to the Neighborhood Playhouse on Grand Street, New York, last week to see the methods of setting and costuming used there. The Neighborhood Playhouse is run in connection with a settlement and pro- duces modern plays and revivals with actors drawn from the neighborhood and scenery and costumes executed by classes in its own workshops. Several Spanish and Russian plays, several of Dunsany’s plays have been produced there, and last week Mme. Yvette Guil- bert was playing there with the neighbor- hood cast in “Guibour,” a revival of a fourteenth century miracle play, the cos- tumes and setting for which were strongly reminiscent of drawings by Boutet de Monvel. Ingenious methods of making and dye- ing costumes to secure the desired color effects were demonstrated to the Senior managers as well as the painting of the scenes, all of which are made at Grand Street. Properties, among them Greek vases and statues modelled from news- papers and paperhangers’ paste, were brought out and the stage lighting gone over. NEW PUBLICITY COMMITTEE WILL ADVERTISE C. A.

Forceful Vespers Talk by O. Howard “Did you ever think that it is unfair to others not to pray?” asked O. Howard ’22 in Vespers last Sunday. “If you pray you have an entirely different attitude, for in- stance, toward the person next to you at the breakfast table.” “Prayer gives power. I should never have had the courage to watch an opera- tion at the hospital last summer if I had not prayed; you may say that it was de- termination, but where did that determi- nation come from? Perhaps you think that you do not believe in God, but if you have never prayed you cannot know. Give God a chance to be your partner and you will not fail.” Discuss Sentiment in Poetry Poetesses, instead of poets, were read and discussed at the Thursday meeting of the Reelers and Writhers Club.

Chief among these is the second training course to be held in Northampton this summer. The 1918 school was purely a war emergency to train students, as soon as the necessary specialization permitted, for work in military hospitals for those suffering with war neuroses or so-called “shell-shock.”. The 1919 course, while primarily designed to meet the needs of the reconstruction period, is also in a sense a transitional project in that it prepares students not only to deal with the more immediate psychiatric problems of the aftermath of war, but also with the ubiquitous neuropath and psychopath of everyday life. Smith Course Begins in July The 1919 Training School in Social Re- construction is organized on much the same general principles as the 1918 school, but with at least two additional units, medical social service and commu- nity work, with possibly a third branch in child welfare. The curriculum includes base courses in psychology and sociology required of all students, and specialized courses in social psychiatry, social medi- cine, and community organization, elected according to the individual interests of the students. The course comprises two months’ academic training in theory dur- ing July and August at Smith College, with an intervening period during July and August at Smith College, with an in- tervening period of nine months’ practical field work, followed by two months of additional advanced theory at Smith Col- lege during July and August, 1920. In- quiries about the 1919 training school should be addressed to its director, Dr. F. Stuart Chapin, of Smith College, North- ampton, Massachusetts. Will Give Course in Boston The School for Social Workers in Bos- ton has added to its curriculum a course of ten lectures by Miss Mary C. Jarrett, Chief of Social Service of the Boston Psychopathic Hospital, Director of the 1918 Summer School and Associate Di- rector of the 1919 School. The lectures, on psychiatric social work, are supple- mented by clinics at the Psychopathic Hospital. Course in New York In response to a request from social workers in New York City the New York School of Philanthropy has announced the opening of a Department of Mental Hygiene. Dr. Bernard Glueck, formerly Director of the Psychiatric Clinic of Sing Sing prison, now a member of the staff of the school, will conduct a course of lec- tures in the fundamentals of Mental Hy- giene accompanied by clinical observa- tion of eases. There will also be confer- ences for the discussion of metal aspects of social case-work problems met with in md yok will be: amended peo i ican people albeit s “nyheter fated Opera House.” But she added that there could be no doubt about their enthusiasm for the League of Nations. — Ex-President Taft, outlining the princi- ples of the League of Nations for which ‘he has been fighting for three years, pre- sented the practical side and refuted ar- guments brought against the league, said Dean Taft.. President Wilson’s argument was that America should assume any re- sponsibility rather than give up the ideals for which she entered the war. HARVARD BOLSHEVIKS THWARTED IN LITERARY ATTEMPT New Magazine Comes Out Against Them Anticipating the project of a group of undergraduate Bolsheviks to start a mag- azine at Harvard, an anti-Bolshevik fac- tion has rushed into print a magazine holding the “reds” up to satire. The new publication appears in a bright red cover under the name “The Harvard Maga- zine,’ which they have stolen from the Bolsheviks and copyrighted. The editors solicit “all MSS, rejected by Crimson, Lampoon, and Advocate,” announcing: “Our literary contributions are free from cramping form and gram- mar. Our ideas are new. You will like them. They are within the mental reach of all of you” One of the political articles reads: “O youths, too long ignorant, but long sus- picious and conscious of many miscar- riages of justice lurking in the shadows and noisome dens of University Hall, you have not ceased to battle for that pearl of proletariat privilege, liberty of speech. “Here, where the names of Bliot and Emerson lend to the air an atmosphere antipathetic to all forms of constraint, I, an human being, live condemned to a life- long torture of incessant stimulation to lunatic leapings. From dawn to dusk I may not engage in aught but soul-soiling drudgery presidentially prescribed.” FATHER OF C. TAUSSIG SAILS TO JOIN PEACE CONFERENCE Dr. Frank W. Taussig, father of C. Taussig ‘19, sailed for France last Monday on the transport Great Northern. As chairman of the Tariff Commission, Dr. Taussig will assist Mr. B. M. Baruch in making out the commercial treaties for the world connected with the treaty of peace. Dr. Taussig is on leave of absence from Harvard, where he holds the chair of Professor of Economics. the experience of the workers. Admit- tance to the course is limited to those actually engaged in social case-work. Pennsylvania School for Social Service Another interesting and important course is that offered by the Pennsylvania School for Social Service. Beginning in February, the school provides six months’ training in social psychiatry and medical social service as a graduate course for students who have had an adequate foundation in college or professional work. These schools and courses all demon- strate the need for highly trained special- ized workers competent to deal with the intricate problems created in any envi- ronment involving a psychopath. And aside from the alleviative function, the far more vital object of prevention can be accomplished only by those so trained in the technique of this new aspect of the old problem of social maladjustment.

The play supplements an ever-lengthening list of plays having celebrities for their lead- ing figures, a series including “Madame Sand,” “Disraeli” and “Alexander Hamil- ton.” “The play is in three acts, the scene of the first and third showing the study of Moliére, in his theatre at the Palais Royal, Paris, toward the end of the actor- dramatist’s career. The second discloses the apartment of Madame de Montespan in the Louvre."" Henry Miller will play Moliére; Blanche Bates, the fascinating mistress of the King; Holbrook Blinn, Louis XIV; and Estelle Winwood, Ar- mande Bejart, Moliére’s fickle young wife. “The story begins with Moliére’s first suspicion of Armande’s infidelity; con- tinues through the tempestuous scene of the display of the love of Madame de Montespan for Moliére, which turns to bitter hatred and concludes with the pass- ing from the world’s stage of its great dramatist, during the fourth performance of his satirical play, ‘The Imaginary In- valid.’” Beside the four famous stars who ap- pear in this play under the direction of Henry Miller, there is a notable company which includes Forrest Robinson, Sidney Herbert, Alice Gale, Paul Doucet and Frederick Roland.—Public Ledger.

A. do?” was the question answered by Miss Mary Gove Smith, an organizing secre- tary for the Intercollegiate Community Service Association, who spoke in chapel last Wednesday. To the undergraduate the I. C. S. A. gives the inspiration of alliance with @ national organization, acquaintance through the speakers’ board with the ac- eredited social engines of the country, ap- prenticeship in social settlements, and opportunity for service during the college year at settlement and hospital clinics. Through it a girl’s vague desire to be of service is stabilized and mobilized. Three great college settlements—in Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago—are another important part of the I. C. S. A.’s work. Miss Smith quoted Madame Breshkov- skaya’s praise of Dennison House, the Boston college settlement, “Here, after all my wanderings, I find myself at home.” PLAY IN CLOISTERS WILL BE GIVEN BY MINOR SPANISH CLASS “Castillos de Torresnobles,” by Sefiorita Dorado, will be acted by the members of the Minor Spanish Class some time in the spring. Thé play is in three acts,.a com- edy concerning a duke and a marquise, who have great difficulties relative to their betrothal. The play will be given in the cloisters, so that an old-world atmosphere may be created. It was given at Wellesley in 1915, coached by Sefiorita Dorado.

Three réforms are necessary to : _| make the public school fill the &eed of every class: ¢@ntralization of govern- ment; control of education; better trained teachers; and a solution of the vocational training problem which will give “cultured vocationalism.” Gary System Described The Gary system was discussed in its functions as an ideal vocational training- plant. Essentials of this system are an eight-hour school day, in proper propor- tions of play and exercise, intellectual study, amd shép and laboratory work. The school is a public utility—a social center for the community. The children have no examinations or marks, but are divided into three classes of “slow, nor- mal, and rapid.” Any child may go ahead as fast as he chooses, and does not have to be held back by having “dumb” ones in the same class. He is allowed a wide selection of subjects, but after his choice is made, he must go on with advanced courses, so as to avoid the “smattering of everything” which does not help a workingman to earn his living. There is an aim at continuity of work, with no break between high-school and college. In religious education the Sunday- school seems to have failed, because it has stressed the Bible stories rather than the teachings of Jesus, and because their teachers are inefficient as “rushed society girls or cut and dried old maids.” One solution would be to have graded church schools, running parallel to the public schools from kindergarten to university, meeting two or three times a week, with specially trained teachers. BATES CLUB PLANS MAGAZINE Will Give Annual Party March 22 A Bates pamphlet with photographs, cartoons and‘the stories of the different weeks at Long Branch, is planned by the Bates Club and will probably be ready for circulation within the next month.

Y., Feb. 26.—A motion strictly prohibiting smoking by the stu- dents at Vassar was passed at a meeting of the Students’ Association on Thursday evening. This unmistakable expression of Vassar’s stand is in definite contradiction of the widely circulated misstatements in the newspapers, all copied from one story which started no one knows where and which was af incorrect report The new motion, which is inclusive of all previous ones, puts the strictest in- terpretation on them, “that no Vassar student shall smoke while under the jurisdiction of the college at Vassar, this rule to be enforced under the honor system.”—Vassar Miscellany News. who gave Labor,” whith was Mawr ‘delegation, will speak Wediresday, March 26th.

Sermon by the Rev. Arthur McGifford, of Union Seminary, New York. the French “Cheerful idiots” in a realm,” college students, including those at Bryn Mawr, have all “acquired ankles | and lost ears,” indiscriminately because it is the thing to do. conspicuous. “Corroding self-scepticism, especially intellectual,” Dr. Fitch declared to be the reason why so many students, alert and promising at graduation, fade to insignifi- cance five years later. “ What they dare to dream of, they don’t dare to do.” The colleges are full of “perpetual indecisive- ness,” the students lose faith, paralyzed by the complexity of life as study re- veals it. Moral cowardice is of like nature with intellectual. “Wait, hesitate, and we are lost.” Religion, concluded Dr. Fitch, is a per- petual adventure, pilgrimage after God, and the religious men of the generation are its pioneers. Out of mental stimulus, students are getting ideas. If Bryn Mawr is a true college its students must test out their ideas. “You can’t do worse with the world than your fathers did,” said Dr. Fitch: “Youth has given itself for the world and should now remake it its own way.” Dr. Fitch worked in France in 1917 as Field Inspector for the American Red Cross. He is now professor of History of Religion at Amherst. MRS. SMITH SPEAKS IN CHAPEL ON NEW MAP OF EUROPE Speaking of the new map of Europe, Dr. Marion Parris Smith, in chapel Mon- day, began by telling how much easier would have been the work of the map- makers if the victory had been a German one. Now, instead of an entire central Europe consolidated under one rule—if not under one ruler—twenty or more small nationalities have emerged as a result of the breaking-up and breaking- down of the Empires of Russia, Germany, Austro-Hungary and Turkey. Such little nations as Finland, Ukraine, Courland, the republic of Russia, Poland, Czecho-Slovakia, the German republic, the Austrian republic, the Hungarian re- public, Jugo-Slavia, Roumania, Bulgaria, Greece and Albania, Armenia, Syria, Mes- opotamia, Arabia and Palestine are strug- gling with each other as a result of one or more of the three sources of discord: boundary disputes, racial disputes and re- ligious disputes. A peace treaty which attempted to set- tle such disputes would be ineffective if it did not provide for some tribunal to keep in order these struggling nations. “Study the map of Europe,” Mrs. Smith advised, “and see how many peoples are trying to defy the law of physics, which States that two bodies can not be in the Same place at the same time. It is only by studying this problem that we can offer a constructive plan for peace in Europe which will last for years after the signing of the treaty.” “ludicrous | fl They would not be].
