SIMPSON WILL SPEAK AT BRYN MAWR Endeavors to Live Out Own Social Doctrine “If we are to have a better world, we must have better people,” says Mr. Wil- liam G. Simpson, individualist and pacifist, who will speak under the auspices of the Christian Association, on April 9th, at 7.30 o'clock, in Taylor Hall. Mr. Simpson maintains that each indi- vidual should live according to his own ‘standards of right. He, himself, is against the possession of private property, and considers war to be contrary to the funda- mental principles of Christ. He feels that instead of resisting evil, we should search out and—emphasize the good. Only when every one loves his neighbor as himself will the “community of love” or the ideal world be able to exist.. Mr. Simpson after graduating from Union Seminary went to -a small church in one of the worst indus- trial districts of New Jersey. In the fall of 1918 he was formed to-resign from his church on account of his pacifism. He says moreoever that even had there been no war, he no longer felt able to preach, “to make a sale of what had been, God’s free gift,” or “to serve an institution acquiescing CONTINUED ON PAGE 5 __ —_—_— All names of tose wishing to return - to the Summer Suhool must be. given to M.

MISS PARK SPEAKS AT FELLOWSHIP: DINNER Stresses Graduate School and Its Great Contribution to Bryn Mawr _ President ‘Park addressed the graduates] at their dinner in Pembroke, given in honor of the recipients of the Eurapean Fellow- ships, Friday evening. : “My speech,” she said, “must begin with renewed and yet warmer congratulations to the three new graduate European Fellows on the year that lies ahead of them. | think with delight of their happy. journeys by Fsea’ and land, of their long adventurous days, in the new lecture rooms and libraries, of their experiences, their discoveries and their rewards.

The mature woman. student could neither work -in the lecture room or laboratory where she wanted to work nor be supervised by the professor whose instruction she wished to follow. With her own experiences of graduate work in Germany and in Paris fresh in her mind, experiences which seem to us now almost romantic, Miss Thomas threw open to the college graduate an op- portunity for ‘graduate work solid and at the same time stirring. She saw. the need in women’s education for immediate con- tact with scientific accuracy, with intellec- tual truth. _And—in_the.years that have seen increasing undergraduate opportuni- ties open to women we have many of us felt that in:the graduate seminary or the ’ CONTINUED.

Sunday evening service in Chapel is the occasion for ‘all Students ,in Brya Mawr to hear very well-known religious speakers, a French student here has appreciated it very much. But is it not a pity when one of these speakers does not speak with im- partiality on the political questions of the day? That has happened on Sunday, the 16th, with Dr. Steiner, professor of applied Christianity at Grinnell College. This seems painful .to a French student, especially when during five months here’ she .has found the nicest hospitality and: under- standing of the French people. It is really to be deplored that a speaker from the out- side, like Dr. Steiner, should come. and preach hatred against France and what.he calls the “militarism of France.” Profes- sor Steiner must not forget that itis -ciff=} cult “‘to be fair in hatred” as he says, espe- cially when this hatred is directed against France, who, always felt such sympathy for the Americans. So let us hope that the speakers who will come in Chapel the next: Sundays will all know the beauty of love and friendship and -that they will not allow their personal feel- ings to be shown in the very middle of a religious service, in a college which-is so considerate toward its guests concerning such difficult questions. ae S.-DucHEMIN.

Yale, Swarthmore and Northwestegn will co-operate next summer in maintaining an Intercollegiate Camp at Woodstock, New York, July 1 to.September 17. . These stu- dents have assumed joint management of: the camp with a committee: of The Na- tional Student Forum which organized the enterprise last summer. One hundred and fifty students from col- leges, universities and labor: schools are ex- pected to visit the camp during the summer. Twenty-five scholarships are available to pay the expenses of: labor delegates. A number of educators, churchmen, business men, labor leaders and social workers will visit the camp during the summer. Among those who are already expected are Dr Stephen P.. Duggan, Director, Institute of International Education; Rev. John Haynes Holmes, Community Church, New York; Professor William Heard Kilpatrick, De- partment of Philosophy of Education, Teachers’ College; Professor William Fielding Ogburn, Department of Economics and Sociology, Barnard College, and Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Free. Synagogue, New York. There will be five’ conference secioae of two weeks each beginning July 1st, during each of which the camp committee will be limited to forty students. Each confer- ence will consider, with individual differ- ences, international, industrial, racial and educational questions. The camp will be equipped with a small. theatre and work- shop in which students may on. occasion present one-act plays. : Woodstock, N.-¥.,-is in the Catskill Mountains, fourteen miles from Kingston, Owing to the limited accommodations of the. camp, delegates from any one college -will number from four to eight.

Fhe youth Henry Brocken, journeys as in“a reverie to the land of writers’ imagi- nation; the land from which a’ writer leads characters into his books and to which the characters return after the book is ended. There we find figures and scenes in earthly forms, yet so combined or glorified ,or veiled in the mist of a poet’s vision that we do not-know whether we have attained regions above earthly level or sunk to the hazes of confused and unconscious dreams. Lucy Gray, Jane Eyre, Herrick’s loves, Gulliver, the knights-at-arms of La Belle Dame sans Merci, the nameless doctor in Macbeth, Annabel Lee, and finally Criseyde are some of the characters we meet with the traveller in his wanderings ;’ reaching them sometimes “at unrecorded moments of their existence in a book, sometimes’ in their after-life when the book has closed. ~ Through the course of these encounters, Mr. de la Mare weaves a beauty of even richness and mellowness that cloys at-last for lack of occasional vigor. Though his languor lightens as in the scene which dis- covers Macbeth’s doctor leading an incon- sequent and reminiscent bachelor’s life, and as in Criseyde’s whimsical words gn faithfulness: “It is,” she said, “to rise and never set, O sun of utter weariness. It is to kindle and never be quenched, O fretting fire of midsummer! It is to be snared and always sing, O shrilling bird of dullness. It is to come, not go; smile not sigh; wake never sleep: Could’st thou love so many nots in a silken string ?” yet his mood falls again to. the wearying 'sweetness of heavily-scented flowers. For unspoiled pleasure this book should be tasted at intervals, not absorbed in one extended feast. Then the unbounded con- ceptions of a-poet- held by the poet’s power in words that form strong, though invisible bars, impress with their full strength. “As I leaned on ‘my oars in the midst of the deep sea I seemed to hear as it were the mighty shout of space.” Then such per- fection as the chapter on Criseyde glows undimmed.

This is an advantage, for it enables us to meet on the friendliest grottgds colleges of our own size but having different and often more advanced ideas from our own. In a way it is a challenge to us, for while we had made a place for ourselves at Sil- ver Bay, this will mean breaking new ground and meeting a totally different. group with whom as yet we have had little or no direct contact. Since we are judged entirely by the delegation we Send, it is specially important this year to have the delegation qwell chosen and as_representa~ tive as possible. - Eaglesmere is not as large as‘Silver Bay, but the program is formed on the same general lines. During the first few days the conference, leaders will give three courses on subjects of general interest.
