Resolu- tion 3 was altered and a change was made inthe list-of -hotéls,.._. Three or more students may go to the theatre at night unchaperoned, with the exception of the Walnut Street Theatre and the Chestnut Street Opera House. Freshmen are to get special permission This is an exception to an Original Reso- lution and so will have to be passed again, and then submitted to the Board of Trus- tees. "Students may motor at night unchaper- oned provided they have a definite destina- tion and return directly to. College. Ar- rangement will be made for signing the destination and time of return. , Resolution 3, empowering the Executive Board .to, “require testimony, from any member of the Association, and to inflict a penalty for refusal to testify except in cases. where for gbod and sufficient rea- sons it shall see fit to excuse the witness,” was changed to read that in exceptional cases, the Board be empowered to ask for ' testimony. The motion to make an exception to the rule against drinking fermented beverages was. withdrawn, as it involves the Federal Law, anfl any. rule allowing it would be lowering the standards of Self-Govern- ment. se _ The regulations about dress were changed from resolutions to Senses of the Meeting, but will, remain as binding as before.

History Class Tssidiioe 0 Gods ” Speaking informally at a Minor History class last Thursday, Mr. Lewis F. Palen told the story of a Russian adventurer whom he designated as the “White Devil of the Black Sea.’ Mr. Palen is the: translator of -Beasts, Men and. Gods, and Man and Mystery in Asia, which has just been pub- _ lished. The story which he briefly outlined is being published in New York this spring. / Mr. Palen stopped. at Bryn Mawr on his way to. France. He had With him the -sword of the “White Devil,” which had been lost when he was captured by the~ Bol- ~_< sheviki, and been found six weeks ago in Detroit; Michigan. The sword had been originally carried for twenty years by ~Shamyl, the Mohammedan leader of ' two ~ large Caucasian tribes, who had waged a . long guerilla. warfare fighting for the free- dom of the Caucasus against Russia’ After the Crimean war, during which he was a _ French ally, his surrender was compelled. - Refusing to give up his sword to the off- cer who captured him, he was taken to _ the commander -in-general, where he hand- ed -it over “with pride to anyone who} could beat him.” This sword finally came into the hands of the “White Devil.” .

As this meeting took the place this year of the second meeting of the Joint Administrative Committee it was an especially important one. Reports from every district show that many of the former students of the Schoo are enrolled in winter classes and are work- ing with*the local committees to find new candidates and to raise scholarships, Appli cations have begun to come in for the Sum mer School of 1924 and these applicants have been advised to study at home for the next three months, if- suitable classes can be found. The Alumnae have organ: ized in each district, with the former fac- ulty of the School inclutled as fraternal members. The New York group, as a re- sult of a dance -for the scholarship fund. has raised $150 toward the new budget In New England, Philadelphia and Chi- cago, preparations are under way for similar dances or entertainments. Appointments for faculty and staff this summer were discussed by the Executive Committee, but as the list is not yet com- plete, the final announcement cannot be gublished until later. I'he Committee reconsidered the question of having a one month’s course for women leaders insthe labor movement. The Com mittee decided that we could not judge whether or not such a plan would be prac. tical until we knew how many women would be interested to spend a mdhth in intensive study. It was decided that a -horough canvass should be made of. all tabor organizations, and that if the results justified it, such a course should be con- sidered for another year. Denbigh and Merion Halls, with a wing of Pembroke-East, will be used this sum- mer as before by the School. It was hoped that Pembroke might be used because of the greater convenience of dining room and pantries, and for the sake of having the whole School under one roof. This plan still seems impractical because of the impossibility of using the’ Pembroke ele- vator during the summer when the power house is not running. The Committee discussed the possibility of securing a fund which will provide a scholarship each year for one of the former students of the School to do: advanced work either inthis country or abroad. It was felt that such a scholarship open each year to the whole group of Alumnae would stimulate interest in further study, and prove a real contribution to workers’ edu cation. AMY LOWELL yo SPEAK AND READ FROM “HER OWN POETRY Miss pea Lowell will read from her. own poetry and talk on Modern Poetry in general, on Friday, February 22, at 8.00 P. M., in Taylor Hall.

Dudley, ’26 A short memorial service was held in Taylor Hall, on Friday, February 1, for Trevania D. Dudley, ’26. President Park read the following statement, written by her wardens-and fellow students: “On Saturday, January 26, 1924, Tre- vania Dallas Dudley, of the class of 1926, died in the Bryn Mawr Hospital. She was eighteen years old at the time of her death. Of these eighteen years, the greater part had been passed. at-her-home—in Nash- ville, three at Rosemary Hall and one and one-half at Bryn Mawr College: “Most of us here knew her only in that last year and a half. From her home in Tennessee she brought to the College a vividness peculiar to ‘herself and a gra- ciousness and charm characteristic of her southern home and upbringing. From her teachers at schdol she brought a testimony of ability and ready co-operation and from her fellow students a reputation for good sportsmanship, friendliness and loyalty. At College she was a student, younger than the average, unusually diffident and modest as to ker own capabilities, yet with a certain quiet’ independence of mind and a real interest in the political questions of the day. During her Freshman year she was handicapped by a period of illness and the loss of several weeks of work, but she refused to yield to difficulties and finished the. year having earned her merits and a place on her class hockey team. Her second year at college began with the abundant promise of youth and health and a ripen- ing intellectual capacity. Then came its sudden and tragic ending, leaving the whole College with a deep sense of present loss and of regret for bright future unfulfilled.” The second statement is from some of her fellow students. “In the confusion of half-finished efforts which form so much of our life, she was exquisitely poised ‘in a delicate perfection of her own—half self, half Dresden shepherdess. She could dance like a little flame, yet could be stiller than a still pool, thinking long thoughts. No one else cut off at an age when most of us are unfulfilled promises could leave behind a life of which it is more true that every moment was a delight to those near her, who could look at her perfect, brightly- colored little figure, and listen to her slow gentle little voice. “So fair, so innocent, so sweet, So ripe.a judgment and so rare a wit, Require at least an age in one to meet. In her they met; but long they could not stay, ’Twas gold too fine to mix without allay. # “ Heaven’s image in her was so well ex- pressed, : Her very sight upraided all the rest; For justly ravished from a world like this, Now she is gone the world is_of a piece.” APPARATUS MEET TO BE HELD ON MARCH 7 AND 14. The gymnasium meets this year, sched- uled for: March 7 and 14, will consist of the same events as last year. There will be exercises and vaults on the horse, double and single exercises on the parallel bars, individuals and, finally the class “stunt.” The question as to whether or not the} lower teams will hold a meet is being voted Yon by the various classes. 1926 has al- ready voted against having one.

Spalding, CURRICULUM COMMITTEE SUGGESTS AMENDMENTS Undergraduate Opinion Is Asked on Three Suggested Improvements on Last Year’s Report - COLLEGE TO VOTE ON QUESTION (Specially contributed by the Curricutim Committee) The following changes were requested in last year’s Curriculum Committee Report. The pregent Committee feels that perhaps ‘the College would not support these spe- cific proposals and~suggests amending laét year’s report. Sena (1) That Minor History be required in- stead of Latin (II B 3), because of its value as background for all other subjects and because a student has studied for en- trance as much Latin as the Committee considers necessary. The report recom-— mended, however, (II B 4); that if Latin should still be required, it ‘should be changed to a 3-hour course in Classical Literature, with 2 hours of cither Greek: or Latin translation according to the lan-~ guage offered for entrance. Thé Commit- tee now feels that such a course should be required rather than the history. Seventy- ; five per cent. of the College now elect Minor History. Since the course is so popular it seems ill-advised to place the stigma of a requirement upon it. In addi- tion, it is possible that the small minority who do not take it, gain more from the courses which-they choose in its stead. The material covered by a course in history is more nearly replaced in other subjects such as ‘English Literature and Politics, than is the material covered in a course in Classical Literature. It is quite jm- possible to acquire any knowledge of Greek or Latin Literature without studying those subjects themselves. The course suggested CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 FINAL SWIMMING MEET — WON BY SOPHOMORES > Winifred Dodd Wins the Individual Championship With 11 Points Breaking two records and placing first — in two events, 1926 carried off the swim-' ming honors with 50 points in the second meet, held Saturday, January 19.

No Bates House would mean a summer spent entirely in the hot streets of New exclaims - York. No sea, no outdoor games, no plate piled with brown bread and desperate cry of -“More,. teacher, more,” as cups of milk are drained, Yet all Bates depends en- ‘tirely for its finances on Bryn Mawr, and this drive is the final effort that the com- mittee can make to raise the money for this summer. Such a summér would be in- conceivable and so Enrico banished the thought from his mind as one of those un- necessary, unpleasant suppositions ‘which must not be considered, as: they surely could never happen. AMERICAN “YOUTH MOVEMENTS” Even in such distinctly individual things as Youth Movements the American pro- pensity for imitation asserts itself. In- spired by the sunlit idealism of the German Youth Movement, Americans all over the ‘country have been prompted to start little ones of their own. The Student Volunteer Convention, at Indianapolis, actually at- tempted to organize such a movement with a definite program, and now rumor has it ‘that Bishop Manning is. to try his hand at the new game. No one can study the origin and present Practices of the German Jugendbewegung “without realizing that its methods and ex- pressions cannot be copied. In the col- lapse of political and economic institutions the young people of Germany have evolved a certain type of existence, profoundly re- ligious in character, with emphasis on the ideals rather than what we call the actu- alities of life, and unlike most enthusiasts they admit that they have no plan of re- form, no program of action. It is obvious that to try to transplant $0 peculiar a growth to American soil is 4 hopeless. Especially futile are organiza- tions—who can organize a Youth Move- ment? Unless indeed we change the mean- ing of the phrase; which in all other coun- ‘tries has meant a search for the renewal of life on the part of young men and women. It is not impossible to have such a spirit in America.” It need not take the: _ forms which it has taken on the continent ae? cannot take them, thanks to the dif- ference between America and Europe. But, granted that such a spirit does exist—and it will. be found neither in Bishop Man- _ning’s organization or that of the Indi- _ anapolis ‘Convention—it may express itself from Bedeveomment ofa true American culture to the emancipation of Not the “inward and spirittal as Christianity from the chyrches. organization? but the grace” is all that matters. ?

The Martha Washington Hotel in New York was removed from the list of places where ‘students may stay unchaperoned, and the Tatham House was ‘added to it. Pamela Coyne, president, explained that the rule on athletic dress does not allow knickers in the Library even under coats; that ‘the fines for signing a day before vacations are permanent; that two stu- dents alone may now walk in the country; that aluninae and former students return- ing to College. are sainder the jurisdiction of. Self-Government; that it is necessary to return to College directly after the the- atre, etc.; that the chaperon at the Col- lingwood Hotel in New York is Miss Mac- Donald and students must stay with her there, and that the Board of Trustees had approved the motion that three or more students may go to concerts or operas in the Academy: of Music unchaperoned at night.

Russian music. Among the composers whose music was discussed and played were Glinka, Moussorgsky, Tschaikowsky, Rimsky-Kor- sakow, Borodin, Cesar e. Rachmaninow and Scriabin.

(2) That one language’ only be required for graduation, with an examination at the beginning of Sophomore and Junior years, wr, if two languages are required, examina- tions in one at the beginning of the last three college years, atid in the other at the beginning of the last two years; that if the present “newest” system of French and German orals and examinations be kept, three chances rather than two for exam- inations be offered. German should be required rather than any | other language such as Iv@Hian or Spanish. In regard to this objection the Committee feels that German offers an -entirely dif- ferent problem from French, and therefore is better training than another Romance language. It also has a superior value for hliterature and science. The present type of examination is felt to be desirable since it tests all kinds of reading ability—free rendition, sight traifs- lation, and translation with a However, the Committee would there be three chances to pass these ex- aminations, Does the College prefer th€ present sys- tem of orals requiring a reafling knowled¥e tions in the spring’ of the Junior year to that of the one language with the two an-4 nual examinations; or would it prefer the present system if German were not insisted on as the second language? (3) That condition examinations for first semester work be given in the week following Spring Vacation and in the week of Matriculation examinations in — the spring; for second semester work in the fall, before College opens, and in the week following Thanksgiving Vacation. — This was felt to be the most convenient sched- ule in relation with other College work— especially scheduled quizzes, It has been suggested, however, that the present dates, before Spring and Thanksgiving Vacations, are more convenient, because no student +tutors are here during vacation, and be- cause’ many would prefer the time for re- cuperation rather than for additional prep- aration. » All these questions will be voted on in in Undergraduate meeting, but any sugges- tions or comments on these or any other questions concerned with curriculum will always be welcomed: by the Committee.

Forty students at: Hunter College have petitioned the college council to change the method of final examinations and the cut system. The Suggestions are as follows: 1. For: reviews during the term there followed by written quizzes. 2. For final review at end of term, one week should be put aside for a general’ class. discussion covering the term’s work. In subjects where’ a final discussion. is not possible, the periodic quizzes during the term will suffice. (a) In case Of Written English where weekly themes are brought in, no periodic or end-term exainination should be given. | (b) In subjects such as appreciation of - opera, art, or of physical training, inter- est. and-- appreciation should be fostered rather than the ability to pass an. exami- nation 6n the topics. _3. In subjects where discussions are war- ranted, there should be open forums dur- ing the term and no mark should be given for the opinions or ideas advocated. 4. Absence from class room due to ill-+ ness should not count against the end term mark, if the cits exceed the 20 per cent. 4 limit. 5. Teachers should have conferences with girls who seem backward in their work and elicit reason for same, instead of reporting to office. The teacher can make use of her personal relations with the students and can-do more. A Smith. alumnae. basketball team ‘re- cently defeated the Radcliffe alumnae, 10-5.

These will be coached by Mr. Charles Rae- bold, Mr. Cecil Sharp’s representative in America, who is the authority on Mogris dancing and has revived the old custom among the villagers of England. The three new,dances are the Flowers of Edinburgh, ‘from Oxfordshire; Leapfrog, from Bled- ington, and Lads a-Bunchin, from Adder- bury. e - “Morris dancing,” according to the dic- tionary, is an old-fashioned. rustic dance in England connected with May Day and other festivals in which performers took the part of Robin Hood and characters in How it originated is a | English romances. matter whereon authorities disagree. Prob- ‘ably it came from the Morisco dance,. or dance of the Moors, which is*the. same as the Spanish’ fandango. Supposedly John of Gaunt introduced it into England from Spain, whtre, although usually danced by one person only, more people sometimes took part. However, it may have been borrowed from the French or Flemings. In the original morris dance, performed in France in the early sixteenth century, a boy came into the hall after supper, his. face blackened, dressed in white and yel- low taffeta, with bells bound. to his legs. He danced the morisco backwards and for- wards, the entire length of the hall, to the great delight of the company. The earliest records of the dance in Eng- land are the: churchwardens’ accounts in the reign of Henry VII, which show that it was useg in parochial festivals. By Henry VIII's time it was almost an es- sential part of village festivals. times the dancers were five men anda boy dressed in girl’s clothing, called Maid Ma- rian, the six being accompanied by two musicians. Later there came to be seven and sometimes even pine performers. Their garments were ornamented with bells tuned in harmony. ai Robin Hood, Little John, and Friar Tuck of the May games, although not originally part of the morris dance, came to be in- corporated in it. One of the principal char- ‘acters was the hobby-horse, which con- sisted of a wooden figure attached to the actor, whose trappings reached the ground and concealed his feet. A window in Bet- ley, Staffordshire, shows also a pipet, a tabourer, a fool, and five other characters which seem fo represent various ranks or callings.. When archery declined the May games of Robin Hood were discontinued and;the morris dance transferred to the celebration of Whitsuntide. The morris dance went the way of all festivities with the Puritans, who were scandalized by the drunkenness and ribaldry which accom- panied the dance. It was revived at the Restoration, but degenerated, and its im- portance declined until revived in the last few years by Cecil Sharp. ADDRESS ON LEUCOCYTES GIVEN . BY DR. McCUTCHEON Dr. McCutcheon, of the Medical School of the University of Pennsylvania, spoke on Leucocytes, under the auspices of the Science Club, on January 15. Dr. McCutcheon has been pre-occupied with the rate of. movement of the white blood corpuscle and. its response in terms of acceleration or diminution of speed under different stimuli. of three types, the lymphocyte, capable of fairly rapid locomotion and able’ to give off substances that aid growth and regenera- tion; the monocyte, which absorbs and re- moves sittin bodies ; and, most famous, the ‘polymorphonuclear, very active and able to digest inrection.

They move in curves and spirals, the inactive red blood cells forming no hindrance. The Van Hoff theory in chemistry states that velocity is affected by a-regudar law; that for every ten degrees rise in temperature the velocity is doubled. Dr. McCutcheon found this to be true in the case of leu- cocytes, that their velocity”and therefore, efficiency, was greatest at 104 Fahrenheit, because at that: rate they arrived at the spot of infection most quickly, where they left the blood stream and commenced to assimilate it. DR. McDOWELL SPEAKS ON BASES OF GOVERNMENT America Must Be Made Christian for the Sake of the World Dr. John McDowell, Secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Missions, spoke in chapel last Sunday evening. Dr. McDowell, who has ‘worked ‘among: the miners and was one of the commission which made the report on the steel strike, took as. his text the Verse, “For “other foundation can no mam lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” “All schools of architecture, ” began Dr. McDowell, “agree upon the necessity of a solid and secure foundation for a building.” Men nowadays are coming to see this and translate it into other realms, into business, education, religion, and government. Of three possible foundations of government the first.is the materialistic, what Carlyle calls the “philosophy of dirt.”” Then there is~ the commercial foundation,” which méasures everything in terms of money.” How much will we get out of it, is the question iri this case. Finally one may have a\ government whose foundations are measured in terms of welfare of humanity, the Kingdom of God, the mabpaess of_little children. If asked which one of these ‘we believed in, we would say of course that there -is more than to say and to pray that America * may be Christian. We must make Christ the centér of our effogts, for Christianity without Christ is useless..;{'Then we must put Him into the thought gf America,” for our way of thinking must be Christian: as well as our way of living. The “inter- national mind” will only help bring.peace if it-is linked up with Christ. In the third place, “we must put Christ into the con- science of America.” We may be consci- entious, but-thig is valueless if our stand- ards ‘are wrong.’ The important thing is to have the right standards. ‘“We must put Christ into the activities of America,” the health movement, the playground move- ment and so on. Our object is not “saving sinners; but eliminating -conditions ‘that breed sinners.” Lastly we must put Christ into the heart of America in order that she may help'to bring the Kingdom of God 4, earth, ~All this will he done by the “men and women who are willing to become the incarnation. of the thought and spirit of only one way, the last. But we must sis jana Christ.” ROGER BACON 1214-1294 English philosopher and man of science. Studied at Oxford and the University of Paris. Wrote the Opus Majus, Opus Minus, Opus Tertium, and many other treatises. More than a million dol- lars a year is devoted to research by the General Electric Company in order that the giant — electricity—may be made more and more useful to mankind, a For this he was sent to prison Roger Baton may not haye invented gun- powder, as has been claimed by some biog- raphers of the famous Franciscan friar, but he exploded some of the outstanding errors of thirteenth century thought. Because of his advanced teachings, ‘Bacon spent many years of his life in prison. In an age of abstract speculation he boldly asserted the mathematical basis of all the sciences. But even mathematical calcula- tion, he showed, must be verified by ex- periment, which discovers truths that cia ulation could never reach. . In the Research Laboratories of the Gen- eral Electric Company, Bacon’s principles are followed in every experimental investi- ca gation. The gas-filled electric lamp and the electron tube were worked out on paper, but it was experimental verification of the underlying mathematical theory that : made electric illumination, radio broadcast- ‘ ing and X-rays what they are today. | ELECTRIC THE: COLLEGE NEWS - Extra Curricula Activities When you want to look your very best—outdoors or in a touch of Colgate’s Face.

While he was recovering in the hospital the over- throw of the Russian Government took place. ‘With his wife, a Polish princess, whom he married during the war, he ‘went East and became the commander of a Cos- sack regiment whose duty it was to break the Bolshevik organizations. This he did so successfully that the Bolsheviki devel- oped for him a good and warranted hatred. ‘ He fell into their hands by unwittingly walking into his city headquarters and finding them occupied by them. His sword was taken from him and he was condemned to death by the Tartars, Mak- ing his escape, however, he and his wife went to Paris, where they are now living, he working as a carpenter and she as a “masseuse.” Mr. Palen could not tell how the sword got to Michigan. It was in the hands of a Cossack, from- whom he is hoping to obtain the tale. — JUNIORS VICTORIOUS IN FIRST PRELIMINARY w Judgment and Tactics Defeat Speed and Spectacular Throws With a score of 4-3, the Juniors defeated the Seniors in water polo on Monday night in their first-team preliininaries. Both teams played hard and seemed on the whole about equal. 1925 showed more judgment and variety in the passing and changing of positions, whereas 1924 ex- celled in long throws and in speed. A great many personal fouls were called on the Seniors. .Theit playing was fre- quently brilliant, but notxso concerte® and steady as that of the Juniors. The first half was better played by both teams, _ the toward the end, prearranged tactics were lost in a general melee. One spectacular goal was thrown by M. Buchanan, ’24, almost the entire length of the pool, which brought the score to a tie, 3-3, but before the end—of .the game B. Voorhees scored the deciding goal for 1925.

Remak THIRD TEAM 1924 vs. 1925 Light Blue and Red battled to a 3-3 tie in the first of the third-team water polo match games on Monday night. Fouling and poor shooting marked the playing of both sides. The Seniors played abetter-game—as—a_team, ‘although their long throws were more apt to go over than between the goal posts. M. Minott, ’24, excelled at taking the ball up the pool to the Junior goal, and O. Fountain, ’24, usu- ally reached the ball before the opposing center forward, M. Blumenstock, ’25. The latter was the mainstay of the team, doing all the scoring and fully making up for the missing member of the Junior team. The line-up was: 1924—M. Minott**, O. Fountain*, L. Cof- fin, M. Woodworth, H. Walker, M. Fer- guson, M. Fischer. 1925—E. Comer, M. Blumenstock***, N. Hough, H. Henshaw, P. Gardner, A. Boross. | DARK BLUE OVERWHELMS In_ the second half, especially GREEN IN FIRST GAME ¥. Newbold, ’27, Makes Good Goal : Defense Superior speed and more accurate pass- overwhelm that of the Freshmen by the score of 8-2 on Monday night. From the beginning 1927 was on the de- fensive,» fighting: to keep the ball away from their goal-posts. Most of the scor- ing occurred in the first half; in'the sec- ond both teams were too tired to do more than push thg,ball rather futilely from one to the other. E. Harris, ’26, almost valways got the ball before the Green center, H. Stokes, ’27, and her backs usually succeeded in passing it to one of the forwards fora goal. M. Talcott, ’26, was especially good at this, although V. Newbold, '27, as goal, prevented her from scoring more than twice. i half, and V. Newbold would throw the ball back and forth to each other two or three times, the result usually being that one: of G. Macy’s long and powerful throws went THIRD TEAM . 1926 vs. 1927 The Sophomores defeated 1927 2-0 in’ the preliminary third-team game on Monday, showing superior team work and speed. ing, with short low shots which were always intercepted, and lost opportunities through slowness. G. Leewitz, 26," how- ever, worked well with her forward line. The line-up was: - 1926—H. Hopkinson, H. Rogers, A. Long, M. Parker, G. Leewitz, F. Waite, A. Wilt. Substitutes—D. Smith for H. Rogers. 1927—M. L. Jones, J. Hendrick, E. Scott, M. Cruikshank, G. Noteman, M. B. Sher- man, M. Smith. A Shop where. young ladies can find their every wish, in Gowns, Wraps, Hats, © and.

My University Days, Maxim Gorki. The title of Gorki’s book appliesto~—his. period of intellectual formation and the contact of people and circumstances that were always changing and always strange. He sets down a series of straight-forward, disorganized impressions of life as it struck him. Peo- ple are his chief’ concern; through him these people obsess us. They are like dis- torted figures seen through faulty glass, or like the inexplicable freaks of a dream, they appear: in powerful, pointed descrip- tions, creating intense episodes in elemental backgrounds. Life seethes through all the chapters. Gorki felt of those around him: “In this whirlwind of bodies there is a crushing strength and its everlasting restlessness seems to me very near despair.” And through>them: “That “nearly every” Mati clumsily. and awkwardly superposes on him- self the contradi¢tions, not merely of words and of actions, but also of feelings, and the capricious game depressed me. I could feel that the same kind of thing was hap- pening to me, and that made it still worse. I was thrown about in different directions, attracted by women and books and work- men ‘and gay students, but I did not get anywhere and lived ‘nor here nor there,’. rolling about, head over heels, ,while a strong unseen hand lashed me with a hot unseen whip.” He quotes his “pilot,” V. G: -Korolenko, speaking of his style: “You-have a very peculiar way of,writing. It-is-all a little disconnected’ and rough but. very ‘ctrious. You know how to create characters;. the people with you speak and act. for them- age not to mix into the stream of their The man such as he actually is. I told you long ago that you were a realist—but a.roman- ticist at the same time.” HISTORY OF BATES HOUSE TOLD BY MIRIAM -FARIES Appeals for Liberal Subscriptions to Run House This Summer Miriam Faries, ’24, told of the collegiate conception and the reality of Bates House in chapel, Monday morning. Bates House had its origin in a vaca- tion home in Northern Pennsylvania - in connection with the Spring Street Settle- ment. Just recently Bryn Mawr has run Bates House independently for the months of June and July, supported by our funds and with our students taking care of the children who ‘come in groups of forty for. two weeks. The cottage is now owned by Mrs. Bates and therefore can be fitted out with greater certainty as to its future. Due to May Day this year the usual extra contributions that ‘aid materially in its support will not be available, and so the twenty-eight hundred dollars needed in its budget will have to be collected from the C. A, budget» and the drive which opened Monday in Taylor. Miss. Faries asked that people subscribe especially lib- erally on this account and told of the ma- good food and probably better health be- cause of the things they learn of personal hygiene, at the same time giving: their || mothers a much-needed fest. ¥. td dollars each to graduate students in eco- nomics and government for the academic year, 1924-1925.
