AMERICAN WOMEN ASKED
TO HELP BUY CROSBY HALL

 

To Be Used:as Recreational Center
for University Women in London

 

The American Association of University
Women has voted ‘to raise five thdusand
dollars to help purchase Crosby Hall, in
London, for a headquarters for ‘university
women. This hall. for which the Univer-
sity and City Association of English Uni-

versity Women is trying to raise £10,000;

will be open to the public at stated times

as a refectory and place of assembly, and

will serve aS a meeting place where stu-
dents of different nations may meet each
other. It will also be a place where stu-
dents may live and work, provided with a
residential. wing-and_a library. :
. Miss Margaret Blaine, '13, is the head
of the American committee. She has asked
Bryn Mawr alumnae and undergraduates
to raise two hundred and fifty dollars.
According to the circular about Crosby
Hall-it was built in 1466 as the home of
Sir John Crosby, fnerchant prince, soldier,
diplomat, and leading citizen of his day, ‘it
soon passed into the hands of Richard
Plantaganet, afterwards king of England.
Here he plotted to obtain the throne and
received tidings of the murder of his neph-
ews at the Tower. In Shakespeare’s time
it was the residence of the Countess of
Pembroke, Sir Philip Sidnéy’s sister, and is
mentioned three times
Various lord mayors succeeded in posses-
, sion and one of them entertainéd Katherine
of Aragon’in regal splendor.
More became associated with Crosby Hall
through a short period of ownership and
he added the traditions of scholarship and
international relations. A true son of the
Renaissance, he studied at Louvain and
Paris, and brought scholarship and a liberal
point of view to the office of Lord Chan-
cellor of England.. He was a good father
as well as a statesman and in his daughter
Margaret he enjoyed “the high-minded
sympathy ofa_soul as great as his own.”
She was proficient in Latin, Greek, music
and the sciences, and thus was an early
exponent of the higher education for
women. °
A later tenant, Sir John Spencer, enter-
tained Queen Elizabeth and her train,
which included Raleigh, Grenville, Drake
and Hawkins—a goodly company. indeed.
Beginning with 1666, the date of the Lon-
don fire, Crosby Hall gradually slipped
from its rich estate. \It was usedas a store
house for wines, for \sroceries, as a casual
meeting house and within our memory as a
restaurant. In 1835 Maria Hackett made a
start in restoring its ancient glories by tear-
ing away some of the eighteenth century
additions, but. again in 1907 this beautiful
Gothic building, which for four centuries
had been one of the glories of London,
stood in danger. of demolition until a group
of public spirited merchants organized as
the “University and City Association” came
valiantly to the:rescue. They caused it to
be torn down most reverently piece by
piece and set up again on the Thames em-
bankment at Chelsea in a garden that once
belonged to Sir Thomas More. Then arose
the question of putting the reincarnated
building to its fullest and noblest use.
- Someone was inspired to suggest that it
be dedicated to the growing needs of the
International Federation of University
Women in whose hands some of the glories
of the past might be restored. Surely such
an occupancy would be as an English
Sponsor has said, “in fullest keeping with
its association with international scholar-
ship, its representative character as the
place of entertainment for visitors from
other countries and its association with
’ cultured women through Margaret More
3p Maria Hackett.” : ‘

LEWIS PALEN RECOUNTS
STORY OF WHITE DEVILS

 

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

ing the war of 1914 he lost an arm, but
refusing to give up the life of a soldier he
was finally shot through the lung. 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

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.

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.

than push thg,ball rather futilely from one
to the other. E. Harris, ’26, almost valways
got the ball before the Green center, H.
