Fs Translation .of the Hittite language, long one of the greatest of archaeological prob- lems, has lately been accomplished by Dr. George A. Bartor, for nearly thirty years professor of Biblical Literature and Semi- tic Languages at Bryn Mawr, and now professor of Semitics at the University of Pennsylvania. - Dr. Barton has translated 200. Hittite laws, one of the oldest codes’in existence, dating as it does from the fourteenth cen- tury B. C. His achievement: proves that the Hittites were kin to the Teutoas and Celts and ‘ancestors of the Greeks and Romans. According to Dr. Maynard, present pro- fessor of Semitic languages at Bryn Mawr, the translation of the code is important first because it reveals the customs and legal institutions of the Hittites, and, sec- ond, because it may change our whole conception of the origin of the Indo-Euro- peans. Hitherto, he said, we have known the history, of Egypt and Babylonia, but the history of Asia Minor and of the Hit-4 tites, the friends and kinsmen of the de- fenders of Troy, has been a blank to us. Dr. Barton came to Bryn Mawr in 1891. He offered a vast variety of courses, in- cluding Oriental Histofy, History of Re- ligion, Christian Doctrines, Oriental Arch- bie, Aramaic, Syriac, Ethidpic and Egyptian. Moreover, in spite of his extraordinary wide research work, he’ never failed to find time to lead morning chapel. His researches covered Old and New Testament criticisti, Hebrew philology and archaeology, Phoenician inscriptions, Hit- tite and Sumerian lore. Some fifteen books, a mass of original material which it would have taken at least three average scholars to produce, embody his work. The “Sketch of Semitic Origins, ‘Social and Religious,” established ~ his position among Semitic scholars in 1902 and still remains the best book on the subject. ~-He-has* made especially important con- tributions to Assyriology by: his work on “The Origitt and Development of Babylon Writing.” “Archaeology and the Bible” is a standard work because the most com- prehensive of its kind, throwing new light on the Bible and the Hebrews. 'SCONSET SUMMER SCHOOL OFFERS INFORMAL DISCUSSION AND PLAY At ’Sconset School, to be held at Siascon- set, Massachusetts, this summer, young people from the various colleges will have an opportunity of discussing their ideas ing them. The colony is located on Nantucket Island, aid has at its disposal the Tavern- ‘on-the-Moors and cottages. In the ten weeks of the session, many subjects will be discussed, falling into four groups; Science, Philosophy, and the New Psychol- ogy; Literature, Drama and thé Fine Arts; History, Politics, Economics, and Interna- tional Relations; and the School of Opin- ion. Some of the speakers are: Alex- ander Meiklejohn, Sinclair Lewis, Hey- wood Broun, and Herbert Adams Gibbons. Beside discussion, there will be informal VESPERS LED BY PRESIDENT OF CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION New- Officer Discusses . of. Association Aims R M. Stewardson, ’25, recently elected pres- ident of C. A., speaking in vespers in the cloisters on Sunday, said that she wanted the Christian Association to give everyone an opportunity to form and -express her ideals, : : “We all get tired of hearing about. the youth movement,” she began, because we are apt to consider it a machine-like or- ganization. It is not really an organization, but merely various groups of people in various countries,- finding out what they are trying to do and then attempting it, it is an ideal. Whether We like the sound of the ‘Youth Movement or not, those in it have something we lack. They are self- conscious in the best way, for they know what they are trying to do. Nothing forces us to think. We get.along rather nicely, just existing. The name “Commence- ment” for the day we leave, is surely a reflection on college, for it seems to say that “Life begins where college ends.” Personally I shouldn’t mind if the Chris- tian Association should cease to exist, she continued, provided something that was better fitted to people’s needs grew up. People worry about an organization. Any association that is worried about is not worth having. If everyone tried to find her ideal and live it the Christian Associa- tion would be magnificent. The Christian Association is based on very high ideals— thought and Christian work ; which I inter- pret to mean that we should endeavor to find what we are to do and then try to do it. We live in a muddled-up world for which we have to work.

PLANS FOR SPRAKERS’ BUREAU DISCUSSED AT CONFERENCE Delegates Propose Organization with ‘Salaried Executive Meeting in New York last week-end, a Conference of college students discussed plans for organizing an _ Intercollegiate Speakers’ Bureau, to procure speakers for undergraduate clubs at a small cost. Delegates attended from six Eastern colleges: Bryn Mawr, Haverford, Swarth- more, Union Theological Seminary, Co- lumbia and Goucher. The Bryn Mawr Liberal Club was represented by F. Briggs, ’25. The delegates agreed that the Bureau should be under the management of a salaried Executive Secretary, who should attempt to secure better speakers for undergraduate Organizations at lower costs. Speakers who are interested in po- litical, economic and_ sociological subjects are desired. According to the proposed plan any speaker on ‘one of these topics who is visiting a certain locality shall be invited by the Bureau to speak, in the in- terests of education, at those college clubs in the neighborhood which belong to the Bureau. : . To finance the organization a sum of $2000 is needed. It is estimated that if fifty clubs should join, each paying an ini- tiation fee on a graduated scale according ‘to the number of members, about $500 could be raised. The other $1500 must be contributed by private subscyiption. Another Conference will be held in New York next week-end to’ discuss further plans. An. Executive Secretary will be elected at this meeting and a committee of nine nominated to supervise the work of the Secretary and offer suggestions as to desirable speakers. THE REV. PHILLIPS DISCUSSES RELIGION AND THE STUDENT Science Cannot Take Place of .__ Religion in World The Rev. Harold Cook Phillips, Pastor of the First Baptist Church, Mount Ver- non, New York, spoke on the place of re- ligion, in the life of a student, in Chapel, Sunday evening. Students often ask, “What is religion?” he) began, for they have not a very. high opinion of it. To them it is “a thing which originates in ignorance and thrives among the uneducated.” They believe that re- that science will take its place. This view is the “index of a shallow and immature mind.” Religion is the power that inter- prets life. “We have now become so in- telligent we almost believe science can take religion’s place, forgetting that as Profes- sor Thompson says, “Science and religion are incommensurable.” Science gives us facts, but religion gives them meaning. Religion can direct life, he continued. All of us admit there is a right and a wrong road. In so doing we grant our approval of religion, for it is the “signpost in life.” Education, though it gives power, can, unless rightly guided, do us more harm than good... : . The victory over life is given to us by religion, It can teach us to face our prob- lems without submitting to them. We cre- ate many artificiat ones in college, but both here and outside we always meet the prob- lem of sin, “the greatest enemy of prog- ress.”* Religion can not only teach us to conquer this, said Mr. Phillips, but also to surmount “the troubles and tragedies” of - | Dodd, '26, first Junior member. life. . ANNOUNCED TOMORROW Has Been Given Since 1905 in Memory of —— Ritchie, an Alumna at, Bryn_Mawr a e —— OTHER PRIZES TO BE AWARDED Graduate and undergraduate scholarships and prizes will be awarded in Chapel to- morrow morning. The Mary Helen Ritchie prize, or “Sun- ny Jim” was given in memory of Miss Ritchie, who obtained her degree from Bryn Mawr, and spent three years in the- graduate school, being awarded the resi- dent fellowship in Latin. In 1899 she was appointed secretary of the college, serving in the position now ,held by Miss Edith T. Orlady, when Miss Orlady herself was a student. She resigned her position after five years, owing to reasons of health, and together with Miss Helen'Hoyt obtained a farm near Bryn Mawr and experimented in pheagant raising. One day when she and Miss Hoyt were out driving, their horse ran away and threw them out. Miss Ritchie fell and was seriously injured. She was taken to the Bryn Mawr Hospital, February 1, 1905. The scholarship was given in Miss Rit- chie’s memory and was to be awarded to the Senior most like Miss Ritchie. The faculty on the committee awarding the prize are supposedly those who knew Miss Ritchie in college. This accounts, in part, for the frequent disagreement in the past between the faculty and Undergraduate members on the committee: The one be- ing guided-by-an-actual acquaintande with Miss -Ritchie, only had a conception of what such a prize should stand for. Un- dergraduate opinion has passed through various phases. Several years ago it was looked upon as a “hard luck” prize, given to one who had had hardships and borne them bravely. Later it was designated as a reward for “faithfulness and efficiency.” President M. Carey Thomas in an address delivered at a memorial service held at ‘Bryn Mawr College, on February .., 1905, said, “I had the privilege of knowing Miss Ritchie only as a student and in her busi- ness life, and yet in the daily companion- ship-of the office during five years those. of is*who were associated with her in the administration of the college came to know her well and admire her much.. In very many respects Miss Ritchie was the type of what I hope that Bryn Mawr graduates may become after they leave the college, and I like to think that some of her fine CONTINUED ON PAGE-6 F STUDENT AND INDUSTRIAL GROUP SENDS DELEGATE TO CONVENTION At the National Convention of the Y.

Theoretically the idea of an Intercollegi-. ate Speakers’ Bureau seems excellent; no doubt it would be easier and better if we could get famous speakers in that way. Like any agency such an institution would facilitate the procuring of men, who would really be worth while and could give us hew thoughts and ideas worth having.

HOPE et A ray of hope now shines for all the supporters of peace. We who have been discouraged by the constant rebuffs those against war have suffered ‘may rejoice. The horizon is still dark, but we can lighten our despondency with the glad thought that our ranks are swelling. Thousands of women are joining the Women’s Inter- national League for Peace and Freedom. The streets are full of those who wear the little button, which shows us their pro- _ test against war. The League will open its fourth biennial congress in Washington this week, to which thirty-six countries are sendin international order .in its political, eco- nomic and spiritual aspects.

They have full comprehension of the forces playing with or against them. Why. would. it not be possible to give our statesmen, diplomats, and lesser officials the same thorough preparation for their positions? As it stands now a man is elected to office and’ then left to shift for himself. Often his knowledge and ex- perience are limited to one particular field; he has had no previous experience relating to the new duties devolving upon him. This seems a practice lacking in the high degree of efficiency which is the sine qua non of other divisions of human affairs. Perhaps the day will come when young men and women before holding office will go to colleges specially designed to pre- pare them for public office. As a possible future solution, competitive euanduiaroon and a thorough background may be estab- lished as requisites for all aspiring office- holders. To the Editors of Tue News: “Such gonferences, of course, seem to me one of the amusingly futile creations of this conferential age”—this was given, me as honest opinion anent the. Interracial Conference held’ at Swarthmore April 11, 12, and 13, but went on in conclusion to amend, “but the problem is one well worth thinking about.” That’s just it—we as. intelligent people must think about problems so that later on we can act. Faced with a problem like that of race it seems that the thing to do is to talk it over, and how can that be done adequately except in conference? It is in conferences that you can say what you honestly think: with the best assurance of its having some effect. It is in con- ferences that the ever present other side can get counter: opinions at first hand, and the process is reciprocal. The Swarthmore conference, small as it was and unofficial, did not, to use general terms, “accomplish” anything. That is ‘to say, no immediate arid transcendent measures ensued,” but what seems to me all important an intel- lectual road was opened. White men and women talked with black men and women about an interactive problem. There was on the whole little argument and surpri8- tngly little idealizing; facts were earnestly hunted. for-and-honestly looked at. -For a* good many people there the experience of meeting negraes as thinking being to think- ing being was new. We learned at first’ hand something of that often referred to intelligensia of the black race—and were forced to recognize them as our equals. This method of procedure seems to me to be the sensible starting point for a work- ing out of any problem, for patently the individual cannot run the world—by these | student conferences we will be able to ‘|}amalgamate our student opinion so that upon it—the preliminaries being at. least started. : : I think that any one who was present at a meeting of the Interracial Gonference will agree or admit that a step forward was made—not perhaps in the great na- tional and international question of black and white, but in the segment of it that is ours. And each segment so treated again and- again will eventually, of course, make one*big step. ee Deirpre O'SHEA, ’26.

PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES Calviad Coolidge = Before his death, last fall, President Harding had. already been considered by the Republican Party as a possible candi- date for re-election in 1924, so that Cool- idge, who, on becoming President, stated that he would pursue the policies of his predecessor, was apt to be thought of, too. Up to the time of his election as vice- q | president, Coolidge had not been especially prominent in national polities. However, he had held many offices in Massachusetts, his own state, for though always quiet and reserved, he had steadily forged ahead from the time of his graduation with high honors from Amherst-in 1895. After two years of work and study, he was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar in 1897, In 1899 he became @ity Councilman of Northamp- ton; this was really the’ beginning of a long series of public offices which he held, from that time ‘to the present—City Solici- tor in 1901, Court Clerk in 1903. During the years 1907 and 1908, ‘Coolidge es «chosen as Representative to the State Leg- islature; he was mayor of Northampton in 1910 and 1911 and State Senator for 1912 and 1913,.president of the Senate during the latter year. Lieutenant-Governor in 1916 to 1918, he was elected Governor in 1918 by a large plurality, and by an even greater number in 1919, The police strike, for the settlement of which he became widely known, lasted for two days, September 9-11, 1919, a short reign of terror, and was then, it is gen- erally granted, efficiently and quietly han- dled by Governor Coolidge. Largely due to this and to the valiant efforts of Frank W. Stearns, Coolidge’s rather enigmatical but devoted friend, at the Republican con- vention, he was made Vice-President in 1920. i During his whole political career, Cool- idge has been himself very silent, and has always let others, whether friends or ene- mies, do most of the talking about him, for or against. This has resulted in two widely different attitudes concerning his ability and efficiency; some have called him weak, have said ‘that his ‘lack of speech is really part of his lack of power and strength, while others feel that he is quiet and strong, moderate and withal able. Before he became President, Coolidge had shown in the other offices he held a completely sane and reasonable attitude, keeping always to the middle path.’ He tig much to further social reform in Massa- chusetts, and worked hard for various bills referring to the railroads, but was > never in any sense radical. : As president we have even now seen very little of Coolidge, the man. He has, as he announced at the beginning, followed Harding’s policies in many ways. It would, in fact, with so short a term of office re- maining, been difficult to do otherwise. However, it would seem, that of himself, he tends to be on the whole conservative, and slow at times, both to pass judgment and to act. Under his administration the foreign policy has continued one of exclu- sion and partial separation, while here at home the idea is the further seeking of prosperity for all classes. Coolidge has expressed his own attitude in these words, delivered a good many years ago in a speech on his election to’ the State Legislature of Massachusetts : ~ “Do the day’s work. If it be to protect the rights of the weak, whoever objects, _ ‘do it. If it be to help a powerful corpora- tion better to serve the people, whatever the opposition, do that. Expect to be called a stand-patter, but don’t be a stand-patter. Expect to be called a demagogue, but don’t be a demagogue. Don’t hesitate to be as revolutionary as science. Don’t hesitate to be as reactionary as the multiplication table. Don’t expect to build up the weak by pull- ing down the strong. Don’t hurry to legis- -|tate.

The issue, as quoted by the student committee, “Shall or shall not the active members of the Har- vard Union be permitted to hear in the halls of their Club the speakers they de- sire?” Recently the. members have ex- pressed a wish that as .a counter-balance for the conservative speakers that . have addressed them, they should have repre- sentative radicals and liberals, suggesting for consideration Eugene V. Debs, Scott Nearing, ahd Mr. W. -Z. Foster. These names were vetoed by the Governing Board, composed of one, undergraduate and sev- eral graduates, as being personally objec- tionable. They promised as compromise to appoint. a new and more representative committee on speakers, which as yet has not been named. They also offered to allow John L. Lewis, head of the United Mine Workers. of America, to speak, but the Undergraduate Committee, it was thought, would not accept Him as a typical and only liberal, Mr. Bertrand Russell on the one hand is vigorously attacking the Harvard authorities for a stand that he calls “child- ish,” and President Lowell is upholding Harvard’s record “liberalism.” — The Undergraduate Committee proposes as a solution: “That hereafter, when two hun- dred members of the Harvard Union show by petition that they wish to hear a ce1- -tain speaker, and the Undergraduate Com- mittee approves the Choice, that speaker shall be invited to the Union, provided that he is permitted to lecture in the United ptates.

A. meeting, Wednesday evening, April 23, when the authors of similar cen- sures, which have been echoed about campus; are invited to make public their arguments, Heretics and supporters, alike, will be welcomed. But the Christian Association has planned the meeting to give the reformers an op- portunity to make known their criticisms, destructive and constructive. The icono- clasts are urged to attend. In spite of the frequency with which the phrase, “anything but teach,” is used in in- formal discussions of after-college voca- tions, this line of work is actually very poptilar among the students who have seri- ously considered the problem of what to do after graduation. The favorite vocations, in order of popularity, are teaching, social service, business, literature, art or music, and secretarial work. Vassar College On Tuesday evening, April 15, at the end of chapel, the members of the self-govern- ment board filed onto the platform. Anne Halliday, President of Students’, then pre- sented the resignation of the entire board The reasons for this acticn were first ex- plained to the college, and later summar- ized by the former president in the follow- ing statement to the press: “The resigna- tiutt was the result of the decision of the Committee forcefully to turn the attention of the student body to the absolute necessity fof reorganization of the student govern- thent, which was created for a much smaller college than Vassar now is, and “which is considered unwieldy and inefficient for the present needs of theecollege. That this cumbersomness of the government has resulted in the indifference of the students to the government, is the belief of the committee, which wishes for an expression of opinion front the students as to methods of reorganization, and which also has plans of: reorganization to offer to the college for discussion. * “The constitution and by-laws of the Student Association are, of course, to stand Until united action will be taken by the stu- dent body “in accepting some form of new government,” ‘ CONTINUED ON PAGE 6 3 _In answer to Symbolism, published i in the issue of Aoril’S. we have received the fol- lowing : EXPOSTULATION “What is thie World Coming to?” - ° We saw the Bryn Mawr chimneys * ’ When we were passing by, = Those same, tall, yellow chimneys, gainst the Bryn Mawr sky. ye Nor wondered at the architect °,— », RRL i N That set them there on high. « For Bryn Mawr halls were lively In our unthinking day,. ~ And underneath’ those green-grey vols i We only longed to stay.
