ON PAGE 3 THE AVERAGE STUDENT: WHAT THE COLLEGE CAN DO FOR HER Three Lines Open For Training Large Middle Group of Students The average student, as representative of the large group in College, was dis- cussed by Miss Park in chapel on Mon- day morning, April 12. To be numerical, the average student lies somewhere between the Upper Ten and the lower ten; not a single student, but the whole group who fall between these extremes. The faculty derive most pleasure from the upper ten, and the lower ten occasions them most worry, but the average group, that homogeneous inass with a common problem, demand a share of the administrative time and at- tention. “They belong there for many reasons, Potentially some belong to the upper group; lack of interest, immaturity or faulty preparation alone keeps them out, But there are others whose difficulty is intellectual, one of memory or clear thinking. And this is more apparent here because College tests that side cane to the exclusion of others. Responsibility’: for this group is as- sumed by the College, which Miss Park believes can do three very: definite things for them.

The result is a patently uninferest- ing and second-hand production, ground out in the sweat of the editors’ brows. Perhaps because of this dullness, which is only symptomatic of the growing in- difference of undergraduates to things con- nected with college, that self-perpetuating body which is the Board, is meeting with great difficulty in finding people who are the same time. willing and able to go on with its work. Most of the undergrad- ates who are capable ‘of doing really good newspaper ‘writing—that is, those who are able to write interesting reviews and edi- torials showing some thought, besides stereo- typed write-ups—have refused to concern themselves with the News. * The old Board is no longer under the ob'igation to stimulate college interest— its ' work has been done. “The remainder of the Board is unwilling to go on with a task involving increasing—work for a The reader is advised to reread the editorial in the News of March 30, * . steadily diminishing number of people, un- less the college feels that thére is really a definite need for the News.

The question is one for the college to consider, since it is ultimately as a result of college interest and backing that a col- lege. newspaper achieves any degree of success. It is certainly significant that dur- ing this entire year, the News has received not more than two letters from undergrad- uates who had something to put before the to the college. It exists now as a means of ex- pression forthe college. Does the college want it? : * oe : The Board would welcome all sugges: tions and criticisms of these proposals. € z > BRYN MAWR TO SHARE IN .ESTATE OF NEW YORK WOMAN The Hartford - Hospital of Hartford, Conn., was bequeathed $25,000 in the will of Mrs. Alice D.

This meatis that the. directors have decided on a required sum of $400 instead of the present $300. Unfortunately, thic does not imply that any unusually great work is to be put under way. With the exception of larger hook purchases for the library most of the money is to go to meet increased running - expenses, for although no one item has risen tremendously about fifty smaller ex- penses have ittcreased slightly. In 1920, in order to complete a two million dollar endowment drive, it was necessary to clear the college debt.

The subject this time was “Do College Women Marry?” Statistics as usual were - rushed to the-fore_and_it_was discovegtd that only one-half of the women that graduate from college condescend to marry. And why this enthusiasm ovér single blessedness? For the most part the cause was laid to the fact that a col- lege woman cannot be content with a less highly educated man and, by way of a vicious circle, a young ‘man, just grad-|. uated from college, is generally unable to offer a salary that would provide for their college standard of living. The young woman is faged with a struggle which she has not been trained to meet. Marriage means for her the abandonment of all her theories on Tolstoi and Beethoven for the more ma- terial principles of kitchen chemistry. The idea does not appeal. By way of de- cision she tries a job and finds she is self-supporting, so marriage becomes a mere ‘side issue. _ Is college responsible? ‘To quote an- other college’s comment: “It may be ‘that sO many college women do not marry because college has trained them to marry college men, and college has made those men ineligible.” LE DERNIER CRI To relieve the montony of the hitherto stereotyped college wardrobe comes a sudden and seasonable innovation. Hunter College is reported to be following the lead of at least one Wall Street firm by blossoming forth with smocks. Nor are these of the laboratory variety, but rather are they resplendent in many hues. What a joy their classrooms must be to the ‘book-blurred eye of professor ‘and student alike! Gone (or at least hidden). is the -swarthy sweatshirt. i Unlimited possibilities immediately be- come apparent to the practical minded. For instance, the present blazer system might be copied with equal results for the academic world as have ‘already been]. realized in the realm of athletics, Those obtaining a certain average might be i s in class colors. nats is (Le ae * FLATTERING.

The mission work has grown from one man in a tiny sloop voyaging uncertainly among a few. islands, to five paid workers and as many volunteers giving part time. Church serv-. ices, emergency operations, school teach- ing, distribution of clothes and Christ- mas presents form part of the vital func- tions of these cruising missionaries. Through them alone does the island na- tive come’ into ‘contact with civilization. If the new craft had been ready last winter, perhaps “a certain lonely old woman would not have perished in the flames of her hut on a deserted island off "lit Manan, for the doctor would have seen to it that some companion had been left to take care of her. BOOK REVIEW Lolly Willowes, or the Loving Huntsman —by Sylvia Townsend Warner; Viking Press, Aunts, especially professional aunts, have perhaps been neglegted in novels; but here is a new, an immortal aunt. Laura Wil- lowes, Aunt Lolly, was a professional aunt in an amateur way, with an income of her own and secret longings for the country and Lady Place, the seat of the Willowes in Dorset. She lived from 1907 at Apsley Terrace with her brother Henry, went to church, read the Times and visited the sea- side with her nieces Fancy and Marian. War came; so Aunt Lolly wrapped parcels for the front. One day in 1921 she bought chrysanthemums in a little shop in Moscow Road. There were sprays of beech-leaves with them. “The great fans of orange tracery seemed to her even more beautiful than the chrys- anthemums, for they had been given to her, they a surprise. She sniffed. They smelt of dark rustling wood like the wood to whose edge she had come so often in the country of her autumn imagination. She stood very still to make quite sure of her sensations. Then: ‘Where do they come from?’ she asked, So Laura Pawel took the place of Aunt Lolly. With a little guide book and a great deal of discouragement of the most} depressing family kind, she left Apsley Ter- race and went to Great Mop, to beechwoods and old: windmills and a strangely nocturnal village. She lived with Mrs. Leak on the village street, and strode about the country- side with her guide book until she threw it one afternoon into a deserted well; then she wandered careless of names and histories. Titus, Lolly’s nephew, and other relations came to see her; but they ceased to be im- portant. It was the Loving Huntsman’ s turn now. * This book by a young English writer is not only something new in aunts, but even something new in Devils. And it is beauti- fully written.

A new prophet came to show the true power of} religion to that Ancient world. Dean Graham finds that He emphasized four things. : Jesus placed great faith in individuals. He considered that’ in order to have a better world he must have new stuff out of which to build it. To that end each man. must repent... “And by repentance Christ meant that you must test every part of life in the light of the best that you know. When you have done. this, then He can draw the energy of life to- gether so that the ideal. may become actual.” This means a change of direc- tion in life—a_ revaluation. People think too meanly of themselves. In order that He might illustrate the value of life, Christ showed how precious was that of the very lowest to the Son of Man by mingling with criminals and outcasts. And He has said “what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his life?” If man realizes the worth of his life he will be ready to pay the price of repentence. But there must be more than the in- dividual set in the right way. An asso- ciation of striving peeple will each aid the other to attain good by a general atmos- phere of work. Religion is not satisfac- tory unless it is everywhere, in politics, in industry, in the home. This new order of life will not -confe by some sudden catastrophic change as the people formerly thought but can only be brought about by a gradual lifting of the standards of the living. This is not easy, but though “slow and painful, it is per- sistent. In this way the Ten Command- ments are stretched to cover wider and wider Spheres and apply in new senses. Not only must the Ten Corimandments be broadened but ‘all Christ’s precepts can be applied anew. Instead of-feeding, clothing and shelterifg the poor, we must apply ourselvés to moral uplift.

DR. £. J. MARTUCCI | REPORTS LITTLE LAWLESSNESS ture should be called rests With the Presi- the unknown culprits., A questionnaire : (Chiropodist) . ee Change. in Smoking Rule and Forced Quiet in Library Outstanding. ° - During the tenure of office of this Board the registration by those staying out later than 10.30 became more and more .care- less and-inaccurate. The old system pro- vided no method by which the Hall Presi- dent could automatically tell who the culprits were. I do not think that most of the members of the Association realize quite how serious it is for the college not to know where studnts are after 10.30, Several times parents have telephoned at this time only to find no record of their daughters’ whereabouts. In an attempt to remedy this situation ‘and to ‘give the Hall Presidents some way of reminding the careless by the rather powerful method of fining the culprits—and thus. we hope prevénting any further such un- pleasant occurrences—the new system of late registration was adopted. Under this method, as you know, greater accuracy results because-the record leaves not only the hour a student planned to return, but also the hour she actually arrived at her hall. \/* Last year for the first time the Board vas allowed to give students special per- mission to motor unchaperoned after dark to and from some ‘definite place—such as a tea house, or the movies—in the vil- lage. Just lately this permission has been extended to include the moving pictures in Ardmore. This year was the first with the en- larged Board. The greater number of opinions is a very important asset which should not be given up. The Legislature formed last year, because .of the impos- sibility of getting a quorum, has not been used at all this year. This is a good sign because it means that the Association as a whole has been interested enough to come—-to--all-- meetings, providing super- quorums.. It is to be hoped that this in- terest will continue, but the machinery for the Legislature might just as well remain in case the interest lags. The decision as to whether a meeting of the . dent, so she may choose whichever suits her nee&?* Last year during final examinations the inability of students to* study in the library was manifested by the general exodus from the reading room and the continual complaints about the situation. The Board decided that ball throwing, gum‘ popping and social afternoons could no longer be indulged in in the reading room, which should again become a place for study. | After the great indulgence allowed in the past the only way to better the situation was by being very strict and showing that we really meant business. Those who disturbed people—even a quiet whisper is very annoying to anyone near you—were asked by the members of the Executive and Addvisory Boards of ‘the Association to be quict. Frequent of- fenders were requested to leave the read- ing room for a week. The task of the two Boards was a rather unpleasant and thankless one. But after a short time the majority of the students seemed to realize that the benefit- of the silence over- balanced the slight inconvenience of not being allowed to carry on lengthy~con- versations and the library became a place{ where quiet study might be indulged in. During the process only two people were expelled for the week. Threats of such expulsion were often effective with in- veterate talkers. «1 had no idea that the privilege of studying in the reading room meant enough to silence quite a few members known to be far from studious! If the situation in the library cried for a remedy so did the smoking question. It was considered. by the preceding Board, but dropped until the Students’ Building drive was over, in fear of en- dangering that. ‘Last fall, however, after a summer with no smoking restraints, many a student was loath to forego her cigarette. The Board was continually informed that the students were smok- ing in their rooms, but so unpopular was the rule that no one reported infractions. The Board felt ‘that the rule as it stood was unreasonably strict, and so was un- time of one’s life! : behind in the wake of a Cunard Col- - nee _. lege Special, bound for Europe and the ae Make up your ‘mind to go, and you'll } count the days ’till the good ship sails. : Think of Paris and London and the || Continent!

In their conservatism, the answers also showed, on the whole, that the students were cognizant of the diffi- culties involved and realized the necessity “a for restraint. An attempt was made to join four of the other prominent Eastern colleges in our action. But the several conferences “Were of no’ avail, so the Board evolved .what seemed to it the most plausible rule. This was passed by the Association almost, if not quite, unanim6usly. Miss Park, who had spared ho time or trouble both at one of the conferences and in discussing the measure with me, was our spokesman to the Board of Directors. The directors, feel- ing that she*knew the situation far better than they, gave her full power to do as she liked with the new rule, which was promptly put into effect. The Board wishes to express its sincere gratitude to her and to impress upon the Association the too little realized fact that -without her active support,—aid and willingness to bear the criticism of the country in taking what was considered. by.. many such a radical stand little or nothing could have been accomplished. The Board also wishes to thank the Associa- tion for its splendid reply to the plea for moderation in discussing the measure, Mrs. Collins reports-that-not one undig- nified clipping has been sent in from the entire country—a marvellous — record. Finally, it is interesting to point out that several of the colleges which refused to co-operate with us last fall have this spring, to a certain degree at least, fol- lowed our lead. - Respectfully submitted, FRANCES JAY, Chairman.

This is partly due to association with a back- ground of Buddhism and still more to the constant presence. of death, which, in trrn, is the result of poor physical con- ditions and the prevalence of disease. This pessimism’ is associated with exams and is the cause of innumerable suicides. Intense love of freedom and desire for liberty pervades Japanese university life.
