Other‘ colleges represented” were Haver- ford, Virginia Normal and Industrial, Hampton, Lincoln, City College of New York, Union Theological and West Vir- ginia Col@giate Institute. Attending from Bryn Mawr were: E. Briggs ’24, F. Begg 24, M. Rodney ’24, P. Fansler ’24, R. Mur- ray 24, F. Briggs ’25, H. D. Potts ’25, E. Baldwin 25, H. Hermann ’25, D. O’Shea 26, H. Hopkinson ’26.. ~f The problem was approached through the historical background of the negro and his present social status. As regards any contact with the white race the negro, with few exceptions, such as DuBois, has no standing at all. Discrimination against negroes exists in varying degrees throughout the different states, ranging from~discrimination in the use of tram.cars and restaurants to dis- crimination at the polls and education. Segregation, especially in the matter of schools, was generally acknowlé@dged not necessarily to mean discrimination. It onfy became such when the negro was forced to attend decidedly inferior schools. Edu- cational facilities for the negro, however, are improving throughout the South, ac- cording to Mr. H. Brown, of Hampton University, though they are still far from good. In South Carolina, for example, for every eighty dollars spent on the edu- cation of a white, seven are spent on that of a negro. .For the South the problem does not hinge around the question of sep- arate schools, but around the necessity of obtaining well-equipped colored schools. Discrimination in matters of education, the Conference felt, should be made on the‘ basis of intelligence.and not of color Delegates from colleges where there were both white and black students felt that the contact obtained: in this way lead to mutual understanding and esteem. Mr. E. Corbie, of City Coflege, New York, felt that the negro had a very defi- nite, contribution to make as a race, afid that its identity should not be lost.

A dele gate is sent from each of twelve prominent eastern colleges. for women,* including | Wellesley, Smith, Mt, Holyoke, Vassar and Bryn Mawr. The aim of the conference is to give college undergraduates who are interested in social work a glimpse inte every phase of it. .To do this, each week of the conference is divided into three days of casework, and two and a half days of lectures and trips. Some time is spent’on every field of so- cial work, from the* various problems of housing and health, to Americanization. The best speakers obtainable in cach sub- ject give informal talks followed by dis- cussions. Among the speakers last year were Dr. Gordon Hamilton, a graduate of Bryn Mawr, and specialist in feeble-mind: edness, and Dr. Kirchwey, an authority on criminology. Each lecture is followed by a trip to some institution. Last year the Children’s Court of New York City was visited, where several cases were heard and the judge interviewed. After a talk by Dr Katherine Davis the Juniors inspected Bed- ford Reformatory for Delinquent Girls An opportunity was also given for com paring the excellent reformatory at James: burg, New Jersey, where the boys have a form of self-government, and are allowed to play baseball, with a similar institution the so-called House of Refuge, where sen- tries pace outside the cells and the rule of silence is imposed during meals.

It is an association of stu- dents without political.or religious discrimi- nation. The students of twenty European coun- tries are affiliated to the C. I. E. and those of the British Dominions are meeting in England this summer with a vid to par- ticipation. The educational aims of the C. I.

The feeling of the college is to be ascer- tained-now because the matter has been often discussed this winter and 1s more clearly in the public mind than it may be next fall. Other announcements were made to the’ effect that stockings must always be worn, on campus and a™skirt and coat must be worn over a classic dancing cos- tune in the Library and the'Inn.

Personal Belief Some changes in the essence and embodi- ment of religion since he discussed them at Bryn Mawr fifteen years ago, were cited by Dr. Johnston Ross, Professor of Homi- fletics at Union Theological Seminary, in Chapel last Sunday. Formerly it was generally objected .to preaching, that it was all right for those who liked it, but that its institutions were provincial, partial, sectional, and conven- tional. To this, Dr. Ross, trying to over- come the objection, opposed the fact that the essence was universal. In the time that has intervened, the former unquestioning way*in which people went to ‘church, even though it was odious, has ceased. People are better able now to discriminate _be- tween the essence and embodiment of re- ligion because in most colleges there are courses for this purpose.’ Another differ- ence is that religion is more inescapable.

Speaker ‘Calls Marriage and Property Obstacles to Finest Spiritual Growth C. ONLY LAW IS THAT OF LOVE Mr. William Simpson, pacifist and mystic, spoke in Taylor last Wednesday night about the way ‘of life which he practises. After graduating from Union Seminary, MrsSimpson went to a‘small church in one of the ‘worst industrial. districts of New Jersey. “He was forced to resign from his chirch in 1918 because of his. pacifism. In order to realize the trials of a laboring man he worked for six weeks. in mines, rail- road gangs, and labor camps, attending So- cialistic and I. W. W. meetings. He came back opposed to capitalism but unhappy at the materialistic methods of the workers. He gave up all hfs private property and now works with his hands for anyone who desires his labor, making no charge for his work, £ = He prefaced his speech by reading sevy- eral verses from the New Testament, among which were, “Know the truth and the truth shall make you free”; “Love your enemies’; “Seek ye first. the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.” “Jesus,” said Mr. Simpson, “usually meant what he said and tried to. put his teaching into practice.” “We are living,” he went, on, “in the decay of civilization. The tree is prone and-the grubs-are burrowing in it.” Proph- ets cry “Away with capitalism,” but capital- ism is only “a symptom of the world’s rotteness. We can no more affect the. sys- tem’by changing its clothes than we can ° change a man by changing kgs attire. Most of us-are trying to put “salve on the sores” by means of social service work. But the money which pays for such work comes from the rich Who havé taken it from the poor. People who do such work do it with an-attitude of superiority. Such activity does not bring the Kingdom of ¢: any nearer. What is asked for is all that we are. We must have a sublime in- differerice to results and the faith to leave everything to God. We must see that God is, that man is eternal, that the efoundation of all the universe around us is love, that there is no sin, no death, no evil. “In_all of us is the capacity of living in that con- sciousness, and as man comes to that con- sciousness. we. shall build here a society where these is no hate, greed, or pain, no masters, presidents, or courts,°a world en- tirely of love. The Kingdom of God is here and can be entered now.” . For. society there is no short-cut, and for individuals the climb is painful and bloody. To enter into the joy and peage of such consciousness, one must be nin with nothing less than “the perfection of God..

The price is our all, every whit of selfishness. We are conscious of'a division within us between two selves. There is a little self, which makes for separateness, making us think that our good is apart from that of others, a chok- ing, strangling, crucifying power. Then there is the true self, expansive, reaching out. to all, a love which leaves out no hu- man being and makes for growth, whole- : ness, and harmony.

FOR CONSIDERATION In these days there is for most of us her€ at Bryn Mawr one dominant. thought —May Day. Work-for it is all important, eclipsing other college activities. However, ‘though we are busy, our opinions concern- ing it are for the most part unformed and our ideas unbiased, while after May 10 we will be dither so elated by car weather and success, or so cast down by rain that the institution of May Day will seem. in retrospect wholly good or bad. Surely then, an event which takes so much of our time and physical energy ‘should receive as well. a little abstract consideration as to its conduct and management in the future. Any change to be instituted or improve- ment to be made should really be discussed and planned for now, while it is immediate, and not later. fh + LIBERAL CLUB _ : This third year of the existence of the Liberal Club as such, finds it with a wide field of interests and many affiliations away from Bryn Mawr. There is a large and increasing number of ‘people, however, who feel that the’ Liberal Club should play a more important part in college life. At present the situation is that wife the ac: tivities of the club are of great interest and. value to the people they directly touch, the majority of both the members and the college at large have rather too little share in them. The club does not make itselt felt sufficiently as an organization to at- tract and sustain the attention of more than a small group of students. This is un- doubtedly due chiefly to its youth, and al: ready it has shown great powers of devel- opment. It is just this which makes us _ restless-to have it go further and become one of the determining influences in the college. We have great faith in the Liberal Club, in its power to lead public opinion, and to strengthen general interest in ques- tions of social service, industry and politics. As practical suggestions therefore, we offe1 that greater publicity, more formal or: * ganization and increased co-operation and enthusiasm on the part of the members, uld materially advance the interests “of the club.: Also more lectures along cul- tural lines such as the lecture on Nietzsche's philosophy and that on Russian dramatic art given last year would be greatly ap- The lectures given this year have been extremely valuable and illuminating. Next year we hope that the club can achieve a more forceful character and arouse active interest in a larger percentage of the Col- lege. : ‘ REFUTATION: “They say” that romance is dead, and sighing, express audibly a wish to have ~ been born jn the “good old days.” If they _ would but read their dailies they would find. romance and to-spare.

The leaders of the*Repub- lican and Democratic parties settle their’ | respective platforms,. pick their candidates and fight for the Presidency or the office in question on the same well-trodden paths Senator La Follette brings a new and ex- citing element-into-the-arena of presiden- tial elections. According to articles in Labour, and The Nation, if his health per- mits, he will probably head no one party new or old, but will Ygin on an independent progressive ticket, that is, not attemptingsto put up candidates for the Senate and the House. He will run as a candidate in those states having an.organization whose principles he endorses, and which desires to back ‘him; while in states having no such organization he will run independ- ently. The conservative folk are already muttering that “La Follette is going to es- tablish: a one-man power in America and will rival Mussolini as Dictator.’ They _may .be assured, however, that even Sen- ator La Follette still doubts that the time for parties to go has come. This is shown by: the fact that the Farmer-Labor Feder- ation, after hearing the report of two of their members who called on Senator La Follette in Washington; voted to change the date of their convention for the nomi- nation of a candidate to the presidency until after the Republican convention. Editors do not hold themselves respon- sible for opinions expressed in this column. To the Editor of THe CoLLEGE News: As a very inactive member of the Lib- eral’ Club'I should like to say first that a Liberal Club should be almost, the most valuable factor in college life; dnd _ sec- ondly, that ours is at present an ineffectual! though earnest organization. So at least it seems to me. Instead of keeping our campus life in touch with all the issues. of the day which do not fall under the prov- ince of the science clubs or the language clubs as it ymight most helpfully do, the Liberal Club is tending more and more towards research and sociology; research that seems a little advanced and technical to any one who is not majoring in the_so- cial sciences. And the conferences are he- wildering — of us. They are often difficult for“us to go to and their very’ little range limits the delegates who attend them. .If we could have a conference here at home more than once a year, it might change our attitude of detachment. As yet -we are unfamiliar with the methods of conferences and uncomprehendirig of their results. But I think that a few more speakers on cultural subjects would be of equally great value to us. The very name of the Liberal Club suggests ari unlimited scope for discussion. Why do we not hear about the really arresting problems and - coveries of our day? “ Of course it is impossible for a a members alone to run a club successfully and kratify the interests of all its members. | The fact is that the enrollment af the Lib- eral Club is about 66 and the average at- tendante at meetings about 15. Now the here.” Té the Editor of THe CoLLEGE News: Of course we all see the advantages of conferences. We say, that through them we meet students from other eplleges, get other people’s points of view and after an intense discussion and much hard though often succeed in@settling some: question ot mutual interest. I dare say there isn’t a person .in col- lege who hasn’t heard of conferences and yet I wonder how many of us actually have been benefited by then. It seems to me that. our attitude is always, “Let’s go to. a conference,” pever “Let’s have one As far as I know: only one has been held at Bryn Mawr this year, while nearly every week-end a carefully selected group of delegates has trouped off to other colleges. Even when our own Liberal Club has helped to plan and organize a confer- ence we have had to go to Swarthmore. Often, I must admit, we have all been invited as guests. In point of fact, how- ever, isn’t it “usually the same group of energetic people which takes the trouble to go? their reports for inspiration. Of course; in a Students’ Building 're- ceiving delegates will be. much easier for us, but still this seems to entail a com- plete change in policy. Wouldn’t it be worthwhile to stir up public interest and enthusiasm by holding a few conferences here ? E. Matter, *25.

It would only be necessary for.a meeting of a number of Democratic stu- dents to be arranged for a certain date, the necessary publicity to be secured, ete., so we could send an organizer to address the meeting and outline our plan in detail. “Thanking you for any assistance you may be able ‘to give us, I am, “Very sincerely yours, “ELIZABETH BLAIR, “Vice-Chairman.” Miss Requa asked any Democrats who were interested to give their names to Eleanor Follansbee, ’26. ’ SOCIAL SERVICE CONFERENCE TO BE HELD AT MT. IVY Last |. C. S. A. Meeting Bryn Mawr Will Attend Before Resignation (Specially Contributed by Beth Dean, ’25) This year’s Social Service Conference, held at Mt. Ivy, New York, on the week- end of April 25, 26, 27, promises to be our last opportunity to get the intercollegiate point of view on social work. The Con- ference is under the atfSpices of the Inter- collegiate Community Service Association, and as Bryn Mawr’s resignation from the “Association is to take effect immediately after the conference, Bryn Mawr delegates will not be invited next year. The I. C. S. A.’s proposed program as recently outlined by its president is pro- gressive and worthwhile. The Bryn Mawr Committees feels that what Vassar and Wellesley .say of their work under the T. C. S. A. indicates that. whether or not Bryn Mawr resigns from the organization, it might do well to keep in touch with the I. C. S.

Opinion in Resulting - ‘Discussion The formal discussion which followed Mr. Simpson’s talk last Wednesday. night and which has been continued informally throughout the week revealed certain dis- agreements among those who heard - him. At the Wednesday evening discussion the questions put to Mr. Simpson depended _ largely on his statement that, marriage was an obstacle to the fullest attainment of spiritual development. It was quite evident that almost every student was op- posed to him on that score, mentioning the danger of race suicide if the finest mem- ‘bers of a society adopted such a course. Most of them also disagreed with his state- ment that love. hindered’ one’s highest de- velopment because it leads to reliance on the audience felt that love was a stimulus to mental and spiritual growth. “As to the general idea which Mr. Simp- son spoke of, the life which is all spirit and no matter, which will not compromise its meffiate good, opinions differed widely. Some were temporarily inspired to do as he has done; these, however, were in the minority. The greater part seemed to think that his way of living, though successful with ‘him, was impractical for most peoplé and of less value to others than that of the ‘| person who tries-to right the wrongs which he sees, although seeming to acquiesce in an iniquitous social order to do so. They felt that while the most sublime happiness may be found in a life such as he lives, there is, nevertheless, a more unselfish way where the individual’s supreme spiritual development is forgotten for the sake of others. IN THE NEW BOOK ROOM Vindication, Stephen McKenna. There is at least harmony between the subject matter—and—its—treatment—in— this book. Both -are superficial. No ‘power in writing could give significance to the purposeless manoeuvres of some artificial members of English society. And no characters whose most important actions are based merely on shallow selfishness could make a trivial treatment worth while, The author would have us take interest in the story of Gloria Britton, the penni- less daughter of a once socially established and now depraved father. To hold it, he describes the conflict between her desire. for wealth and comfort and her love for one man. Gloria’s weakness, ineffective- ness in decision, may be true to life, but, unredeemed +by any really strong point of character, bad or good, it appears dull and unconvincing, This is true of all the people in the ‘book. Some are given more prominence than ine, but none stand out as actual figures. It is as though their actions and reactions had been caught in the author's experi- ence, then dropped on them as sufficiently plausible figures.

Not so with Bryn Mawr. , At the announce- ment that the Fox, Stanley, Pathé, ’ Inter- national, etc., moving-picture corporations would take “movies” and “stills” of some twenty-five characters in costume in the cloisters yesterday afternoon, there arose a.tumult of lamentation from all. twenty- five. The affair undoubtedly caused every: one inconvenience, the cameramen, the principals, the costumers at East House and all others concerned; but the result, we trust, will justify the . effort. These pic: tures will be shown everywhere during the following weeks. May Day will be pleas- antly brought to the attention of hundreds too” busy to~ read their papers; andthe effect will tell in the ticket receipts of May Oth and 10th. May those who come after us, both in thé near future and the far, as they enjoy ‘their music courses or their auditorium, think of the reluctant twenty- five—with gratitude! Mrs. Otis Skinner will speak on Pag- 23rd of this month, and, via Gertrude Macy’s receiving apparatus in Pembroke- East, the College may hear of its activities even while it carries'them on. Tur News wishes to retract a statement made in the last issue to the effect that May Day would lose a thousand dollars if it rained on the dates set for the féte. All and more than all the possible loss is COV- ered by insurance. Postponement an- nouncements are in the press and will, be prominently posted in all the cities in case May 12th should be substituted for either the 9th or 10th. Contracts and tickets allow for this possible postponement; and in fact May Day makes a profit in case of rain, since insurance more than covers loss in gate receipts.

Costume work down at East House goes on with usual intensity, and, we must say increasing fascination. The rich and splen did stuffs made, by devious processes, from stuffs neither rich nor splendid, are covetec by all who behold them; and more pe destrian work goes a-begging while under- graduates blow inks’ and dyes furiously through fixators, and stencil lions rampant on an azure field? Great. rows of trophies for the captives in Alexander and Cam- paspe are being repainted by the committee for properties, and just now a gay and charmingly colored pavilion for Robin Hood’s merry-men is being mapped out and constructed.

Registration could not prevent any of these things from happening. - : The motion that election rules should be amended to read that straw votes shall be taken in all classes for their members of the Executive Board and that a quorum must be present at such straw votes was made by E. Pearson, ’24, and passed unani- mously. It was agreed that since ‘such votes are customary, they might as well be included in the rules, and if they are to stand for the opinion of the class it is only fair that a quorum should be present. Clause 3, of Resolution X¥,*which reads, “The Association does not allow its mem- bers to use fermented beverages except for medicinal purposes,” was omitted from the Constitution. N. Hough, '25, pointed out that the board cannot enforce the rule as it stands now. Usually no action was taken when people reported drinking cock- tails in private houses. The incoming board will work on a resolution that liquor shall not be used on the campus. ‘CLAELIN i.

After-| ‘tthe interview the prospective Haverfordian will be’ entertained on the campus by the committee. A written record will be kept of the results of each of these conferences. These records will be turitd over to the Faculty Committee on Admission, who will make use of this information in selecting those who are on the border line on the question of admission. | Those who pass all the entrance exami- nations ‘according to this scheme will be admitted without question. The remainder of the incoming class will be. selected by the Faculty Committee, who will make use of the report of the Undergraduate Com- mittee in making their decision. Dartmouth ‘Dartmouth undergraduates are taking the lead among colleges in organizing for in- dependent political action. For the purpose of educating American students to bri about co-operation between labor an learning for the formation of a labor party modeled on the British Labor Party:as well as for the purpose of sending delegates to the Cleveland Convention of liberal groups an undergraduate Dartmouth Club for. In- ‘dependent Political Action has been formed. The. formation of the organization was brought about: by the feeling of dissatis- faction with the existing political order. ‘The unearthing of the oil scandal showed the Dartmouth group the condition of po- litical corruption which now exists and the control of the government by big business. Drastic changes in the curriculum are being considered at Dartmouth.-The pro- posed changes’ made for/much less freedom in the choice of courses during the first two years of college, and for much greater freedom during the last two years. The object of the changes is to give the college man a more comprehensive education dur- ing his first two years, and a chance to specialize more on his major during the Juniof and Senior years. Carnegie Institute* An efficient system by which a student’s participation in extra-curricular events may be regulated is being sought by students of Carnegie Institute. The system now in effect there, similar to the one adopted by Haverford several years ago, has proven useless, due to the difficulties encountered in its application. . The plan originated several years ago, but until this year had not been carried out on any adequate scale. A list of every student’s activities had to be kept, and this task required an inordinate amount of work, The system was found to be not only difficult to maintain, but to have a depressing effect upon activities rather than inducing an interest_in them. It has frequently been demonstrated that a student who becomes affiliated with -too many activities soon automatically discards some of his responsibilities, and a natural system rather than an artificial set of rules determines a student’s capacity for. extra- curricular work. ‘ Antioch “To. create men and. women. that are versatile and symmetric in their lives and .to instill an intuitive sense into the world, is the modest aim of Antioch College,” said President A. E. Morgan, of that institution, in an address given at Yale, March 17. By a combination of industrial training and practice with the study of the liberal | Warts, Antioch strives to give the student ‘a broad view of life. In President Mor- gan’s opinion, the chief faults with the average education is that it tends to train a in such a narrow way that after graduation it takes him a long time to find himsélf; it shapes men to fit as cogs in large L.\sinesses and industries to the neg-. ~ lect of thy spirit of individual enterprise. New School of Social Research Successful results are reported by the secretary of the New School of Social Re- search, conducted for adults, in. New York City, in which the students control their |’ courseS and select their own professors, After gaining experience by taking chargé of individual: courses, it is expected that eventually the students. will ‘run the school completely. COLLEGE MEN PLAN EXCUR. SION TO ENGLAND AND FRANCE Complete ‘Third Class on Saxonia Reserved for College Students F Under the chairmanship ‘of Mr. B. D. Adams, of “The Oaks,” Ithaca, N. Y., col- lege men are arranging an economical ex- cursion to England, France and other Eu-| ropean ‘countries this summer, sailing from New York for Plymouth, Cherbourg and Southampton on June 21 in the third cabin of the “Saxonia,” and returning home on the same ship from Southampton and Cher- bourg on September 6. The “Saxonia’s” entire third. class has been reserved for the college men, and_no others will be admitted. Th cost for the round trip has been placed at $165, and the chairman says that with the. low rate of exchange prevailing abroad students’ may enjoy two months’ r sight-seeing and attending exhibitions, fairs, athletic mets, and kindred attractions for $400. Mr. Adams says that the exclusive third cabin will answer the increased demand for an economical and comfortable mode of transportation to Europe. On this ex- cursion non-students and immjgrants will positively be excluded from the third class, thereby eliminating what has been the eco- nomical traveler’s only objection to the modern third class. The chairman prom- ises. “Good wholesome British food four times a day.” Students. are invited to jae their musi- cal instruments along, so that impromptu parties, “song fests” and musical evenings may be the rule. The Cunard Line will arrange to store the instruments until the ship returns in September. w) -|DR. ROSS EXPLAINS CHANGE IN MEANING OF RELIGION - CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The ecclesiastical authority has decreased and is disappearing, according to Dr. Ross, but there is a new-authority, that of nature. Like laws for the preservation of health it is a saving factor of life. The clergy can do less and less for one. cording to the Dean of St. Paul’s, they are no longer necessary. The things of the spirit have become democratized, and at the same time individualized. All is personal and must be faced by each in- dividual alone. In the appalling uniform- ity there is a struggle to be one’s self, for only thus can one solve one’s problems. Even, “getting religion” is not an exceptiqn, because some can only find solitude in a group. Little can be done by external | forces except in the direction of thought on certain books, and a slight’ pressure on the will. In the slight influence that can. be brought to bear there is a division of Christianity that» ought to be recognized. St. Paul, in a bitter mood, unconsciously divided—it-into- Jesus, Spirit, and—Gospel. Christianity is a historical religion, not a philosophy or series of facts, but both. Jesus was as secular as Caesar, for he occurred as a historical fact. He is not the “saccharine idpl of any individual pietist,” but ‘the son of Joseph. He stands as the center of human history. By bringing man and God into a new relation, He is the concern of us all, and there is more to Him than we now know. When he crashed into history with a force that has lasted until now, He appeared not in the réle of a teacher, but in that of an imperious master. Our duty is to know ‘him at first hand through the Gospels and the see of Paul. : ¥ as = a Indeed, ac- | March ye HERE, SAYS MR. SIMPSON The Gospels are Paul’s itepretaogggpr HE KINGDOM OF GOD IS 4s a person who demanded explanation. too huge’in its whole conception, however, to be discussed, ‘The third division is that of the Spirit. When the world‘is analyzed, it is found to be made of tempers. There are two; a dangerous one of self-interest that ex- presses itself in, the worship of military glory and economic greatness; in politics that of pedple opposed to change, whose rabid patriotism is.synenymous with a re- ligion of institutions,’ prejudices, and sec- tarianism. The other temper, a force of good, is reducible to the temper of Christ and is that of an internationalist, a minister to all, who depends on God, and* moves freely with Him, arttd finally mediates God- to other men. REPUBLICAN CLUBS STARRED IN MANY COLLEGES President of Columbia Commends the 4. “Organization of Such Clubs é With the- purpose of becoming better acquainted with leading political issues and Republican party - principles, many thou- sands of college students throughout the country are enrolling in college Republican clitbs, organized. under the College Bureau of the Republican National Committee. Both undergraduates .and alumni are joining in the movement, now under way at over a hundred colleges, to encourage a deeper interest in the nation’s political problems. "At Ohio State University. the Republican Club announces a membership of 2300, Nineteen hundred alumni are en- rolled in the club at Harvard, Purdue University has a Republican club with 600 members, and clubs at other colleges report similarly large enrollments. , Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, has issued a state-- ment commending the nation-wide organi- zations of college Republican clubs. Dr. Butler, noted educator and publicist, is an earnest advocate of early political training. Regarding the movement to interest and instruct college students in matters of cur- rent American politics, he says: “Many of us are greatly concerned at the widespread lack of interest, ir political principles and policies and in the growing unwillingness to assume any share of po- litical responsibility. Nos political institu- tions will work themselves. The best form of government requires good men and|]-’ women to: operate it. “Just now we are faced by a situation in which the overwhelming majority of our important public offices are filled by the votes of but a mere fraction of the quali- fied electorate. Year after year candidates for public office who secure at so-called direct primaries from five per cent. to ten per cent. of the vote of. the qualified elec- torate, receive party nominations, and are then elected to high office by the votes of from ten to thirty per cent. of the qualified electorate. The consequence is that we are everywhere faced by minority rule. “Many of our young people have grown up and.are growing up under conditions which confuse them as to the meaning of political issues and which conceal from them the fact that fundamental principles of government are frequently at stake when least suspected. A cure for this condition will be found in arousing political interest and in bringing accurate political informa- tion to the thousands of intelligent and high-spirited youth .who are to-be found in our colleges and universities.” DR. FEARN TO HOLD CONFERENCE The Rey. L. W. Fearn wil hold a con- ference in Lyme, Conn., about three hours from New York, from May 17 to May 26, This includes two weqk-ends, so that it will be very convenient to attend. “The subject is not yet decided upon, but will undoubtedly be interesting. For further particulars, see E. Mallett, Pembroke-East. Married Siete Yen; ex-26, to Mr. J. Y. Louie, ') Parker. id we ae CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 There is great joy in giving up every- thing and none until everything is given up. The utiiversal love, which is the God in us, can take no prescribed form. But all our loving becomes mere sentiment and moral drunkenness unless feeling something we do something. Love cannot own.: “If you are afraid someone will take something of yours you hac& better get rid of it.” Let your wealth consist in being, in loving, and in giving. , Not a stick of property can a man take and keep without using the or-_ ganized violence of society, and a man of love cannot do that. Not only must we stop owning things, we must stop trying to own people by extend- ing our ego over them, as do parents over their children and a man over the woman he loves or she over him. In such love is a miserable element which demands love in return. “When an entirelg unselfish love for all people is achieved, it goes out as the love of God goes out.” It cannot be a parasite living on rent, interest, and dividends, but will set him who has it to work. He will find it intolerable that some should have ease and an abundance of things for lack of which others perish. He will feel that if some must eatin the kitchen, then he will be one of them. Such ‘universal love means that all must be forgiven. When we love as God loves we will love as impartially as the sun shines, to give life to any and all. We can- not -have one eye on effectiveness and one on results; we must have a sublime itn- difference to results. Having put our hands to the plow we may not-turn back. It is better to turn af@ hate our father and i mother than to let anyone turn us aside from being true to God. As to who may follow such a course, Mr. ‘Simpson safd that “as long as anyone . can go on as he is now going, let him go on.” Those whom the dream hath posessed must go on, even though they know that at the last none can live by that love with- out coming to Calvary. Such_a-man_sees what we are and what God is. He cries, “Repent, see how good the world is.” He would make men say, “If God wants us to be fools, we will be fools,” OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED TO STUDY IN MEXICO American Friends Committee Seeks International Understanding “American students and teachers are in- vited to enjoy the privileges of study at the National University of Mexico,” writes Douglas L. Parker, representative of the American Friends’ Service Committee in Mexico. “The Revolution is over and the = are returning to normal activities,” says Dr, “Mexico wants and needs our friendship, and the Summer School of the Mexican National University is one of the most potent agencies for the fostering of international friendship and uriderstanding between Americans and Mexicans, “The rates are reasonable, the climate delightful and the opportunities unusual for American students to study Mexican life and civilization. A knowledge of the Span- ish language is not.a prerequisite.” The American Friends’ Service Commit- tee,,for whom Mr. Parker is a representa- tive, is interested in efforts to create in= terfational good will and understanding. Mexicans are distrustful of foreign ex- ploiters. If our students can have first- hand knowledge of local conditions there, a basjs would be formed for better rela- tions. : The Fourth Summer Session of the na- tional University of Mexico is held in Mexico City from July 9 to August 22, 1924. Beginning, intermediate and ad- tvanced students of Spanish will find here most favorable opportunities for studying that language. Facilities for research in history and archaeology are exceptional. - e 64 THE, COLLEGE NEWS RELIGIOUS LIBERALS TO HOLD. CONFERENCE AT MT. HOLYOKE Seventy-Five Colleges Represented at Conference Held Last Year The Student Federation. of Religious Liberals, a new non-sectarian organization {Grmed a year ago, is planning a confer- ence to be held at Mount Holyoke College June 21-28, to which any Bryn Mair stu- dent is invited to go. Last year the constituency was made up of 265. students whose college affiliations represented seventy-five colleges .and yni- versities in twenty states and Canada. This year it is expected that the enrollment will greatly exceed the previous one and that even larger numbers‘of men and women who. are taking a definitely liberal stand on religious questions in the colleges will be represented. The Student Federation work has three main purposes: First, To make for a better understand- ing of one’s self and one’s: fellows in his own country; Second, To further liberal religious viewpoints in one’s own commu; nity; Third, To maintain contacts with youth movements of other countries for the mutual benefit that can be derived therefrom. The lectures will be given by leading thinkers in a number of denominations and there will also be discussion groups in the hands of student leaders. Further infor- mation can be found in the pamphlets on the Christian Association Bookshelf in the New. Book Room or by applying to E. Hale, ’24. ; LINK WITH WORLD AFFAIRS FOUND IN FOREIGN POLICY ASSOCIATION The Foreign Policy Association of New York opened a branch >in Philadelphia,” Saturday, with a luncheon at which Sir William Wiesman, a Conservative, Mr. J P. Wilson, a Liberal, and Mr. Ratcliffe,-a Labor -man, discussed the ‘present Labor Government in England. ' The Association has branches in various cities, including New York and Cincinnati, which has recently received it enthusiastic- ally. A Cincinnati paper says of the Association : : “The most hopeful institution of public opinion in the city is the Foreign Policy Association. , Other organizations present speakers who will be sure to say things theit members like to hear. The Foreign Policy Association brings speakers to the city who may say things some people don’t like to hear. . . . Another hopeful thing about this Association is that it is willing to hear both sides of an issue.” Some members of the faculty belong to this Association, which, now in Philadel- phia, offers-the students, should they wish to join it, an excellent opportunity to learn about world affairs and to cultivate the outside intérests so frequently advised. SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDENT ORGANIZATION EXPLAINED att eae i CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 are arranged, Students of different coun- tries are brought together intimately by athletic and other meetings. (It will be remembered that Paddock © successfully took part in the Students’ Olympic Games, organized by the C..I. E., at Paris, in 1923.) A closer relationship with the students of | Europe must bécome an essential part of our college life if this-country is to fulfil the obligations of the leading position among the nations of the world which it is destined to hold. The second Triennial Congress or Gen- eral Assembly of the C. I. E. is to be held this summer in Warsaw. At this meeting all the activities of the Confederation will be reviewed, and its future policy will be determined. The election of the Officers and Executive Committee for the next three years will also take place. The social functions and athletic meets held ‘in con- . nection. with the conventions of the C. I.E. | ttract large numbers of students and pro- At the first Congress, held at Prague, in 1921, a desire for Américan co-operation was earnestly expressed by students -of all countries represented. At the present time the C. I. E. has to face in its own’ sphere the same problems which confront the official European diplomats and there is an opportunity for statesmanlike action on the part of American students in help-' ing to "make effective the ideals of good will and justice on which the Confederation was founded. NEWS FROM OTHER COLLEGES : Yale The recent noteworthy performance of Yale University in providing under. scien- tific supervision human tests for the effects of poisonous gases is now to be followed by the same institution .in an extensive scheme of academic co-operation with- the manufacturing and other industries of the state. A formal agreement has been-made between the university and the Manufac- turers’: Association of Connecticut, under which each party is to place its facilities at the service of the other for the common good. . Thus the library, the laboratories and the scientific apparatus of the university will be utilized by the factories for reference, research work and experimentation, with the expert members of the faculty and trained students to direct or, assist in the operations. This will place at the com- mand of the industries resources which would otherwise be beyond their reach. On the other hand, all the industrial plants in the state will becomé fields for the univer- study, research, and practical experimenta- tion and training in the chemical, mechan- ical, and other arts. It would be difficult to determine to which party is. given the greater promise of\ profit. In addition, of course, there will be this inestimable gain fér both sides: that students + will be trained as otherwise would. be impossible for actual encouragement in industrial business. The graduate will be able to step from the commencemnient platform into the factory, not as‘a novice but\as an expert, specialized in the work of that particular establishment. JUNIOR MONTH. TO OUTLINE ’ SOCIAL SERVICE WORK CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 ~“The~casework end of the-conftrence;,’ said Miss Tousley, “is intended to show the students why social work is needed. ° The reason ‘is that there are health margins and life margins so narrow that outside helr is a necessity. The best*kind of help that the social worker can give is by reaching the individual. To take an example from Amgricanization work, the good accom plished by any number of patriotic mass meetings is slight compared with the good than can be done by a single sympathetic employer, or landlord, or school teacher, in his personal relatigns with the immi- grant. One can only work through the in- sity students’ to utilize for observation, | : dividual and the motto of the social worker : might well be ‘E Pluribus’ Unum.’” Other colleges are already choosing their delegates.
