Her inter- pretations are sensitive and never exag: gerated, her gay sense of humor alto- gether delightful. Chiefly memorable: was her cunderiae of “a certain type of Southern girl in the Sistine Chapel,” ;torn between the ne- cessity of doing the show, and her in- ___clination to discuss with her new found compatriot the hundreds of people “she knew at V. M. I. Then followed a tragic gcene of a Parisian midinette sending off her Amer- ican lover, done -with restraint and in- sight, - The American girl in Paris, telephon- ing to her dressmaker while reviewing Montmartre night life with a friend, the English lady in a Continental train with airy disdain for American fellow travel- ers until she found that they were well connected—these types were very amus- ingly conveyed. --Full of dignity and pathos were the renderings of the consumptive dancer | ° on the three-a-day, snowbound in an Iowa station, and the girl of the Bar- badoes, who had three drops of black blood in her. Earlier in the afternoon Miss Skinner gave a similar performance, open to the public, which filled the music room. “BUCHS” BEAT SUB-VARSITY Lack of Teamwork and Surplus of Energy Characterize Game. _ The Buchaneers defeated Sub-Varsity on Saturday morning, right after the German Oral. Perhaps it was for this reason that the college team did not par- ticularly shine. They put up a fairly - good fight, however, and for a time it looked as though they might conquer the valiant Buchaneers. But the visit- ing team, playing a stupendous game, came out ahead with the close score of 4-3. Both sides showed a lack of team work, very evidently. the result of not ‘having played together very, often. It was neither a very scientific, nor a very exciting game. No one was remark- “able, although E. Winchester was per- haps the best, and E. Brodie made some pretty: rushes toward the goal. Miss Bartle played a very competent right halfback for the Buchaneers;and on the forward line M. Buchanan and Mrs. Wilbur were tireless in their efforts, while A. Adams made a reliable center. Line-ups : Sub-Varsity: A. Newhall, 97; R. Mil- ler, ’27 (captain); E. Winchester, .27***; FE. Brodie, 27; A. Dalziel, ’29; E. Boyd, ’29; E. Brooks, 98; R. Wills, 99; E.—_Merris;-727;: C.

Albert Cohoe pointed out the meaning of Christ’s first “Tts he said, “usually escapes us because none of us feel that we have supernatural powers | that might be turned to our own advan- tage, but the modern analogy to super- natural power is the power of money. What can the man who uses this unintelligently, selfishly, beiying his way through life, get of comfort or faith?” When Jesus was tempted to turn stone into bread for His Own use He did not do it, He refused to: use His power. Again, later in His career when His disciples realized that He was a Mes- siah, and He told them that He’ must go to Jerusalem and suffer, they did not believe that He, the Son of God, would really suffer; it could not happen; He might go-through the motions, but if He were really divine nothing could hurt Him. But Christ refused to dally with this thought. He told them not to fight for Him, ‘as He had twelve legions of angels, if He wanted them. The_ sig- nificant thing is that He did not call them. The modern counterpart of this is the power of money; and if it is used un- reasoningly, as the spoiled child uses its cry to get what it wants, it is the same as though Christ had used His power to“turn stone into bread. There has never been so much wealth in the world. -In America there are now enough automatic machines to do the work of fifty slaves per person. Never have we had such power to get what we want. And how are we using it? By snapping our fingers and making de- mands... All over Europe, Americans are snapping their fingers, and Europe. had to jump.

The Main Line Hockey Team fell be- fore varsity’s unrelenting attack, on Sat- urday, October 16th. The final score of 7-0 tells its own story. Bryn Mawr’s forward line worked to- gether remarkably well, and was backed up by a sure defense. Right from the beginning of the first half the team started a series of successfuf rushes, car- rying the ball down the field; but when the circle was reached, a lamentable weakness in shooting manifested itself: There the game was slowed’ up by scrap- py playing and the necessity for many corners. Since it was almost entirely an offen: sive game, the most outstanding individ- ual players were those on the forward line. E. Stix played an extraordinarily fast centre, working with her inners and rushing the goal. The wings were both good, saving the ball on the sidelines, thus avoiding many roll-ins, H. Tuttle kept her position well, doing a great deal of valuable work on her side of the field. On the other side S. Longstreth worked persistently; during the second half she took a beautiful long dribble down the field, past the interfering backs, to where she got a clear shot into the goal. The. backs, especially J. Seeley, kept themselves busy retrieving the ball for the forwards, and were so successful that A. Bruere, in the goal, had little chance to show éter prowess. The Main Line team was quite out- ‘|classed by varsity’s energy and punch, but their backs put up a plucky fight; Lydia Morris was noticeable for her good playing, and the goal, Mrs. Lar- man, saved a great many shots, holding the score down as well as possible.

A membership drive, it was decided, will be held this week from Monday to Wednesday. Slips will be left on the door of each student, and all those eli- gible who wish to join will be enrolled. The membership will be less restricted ‘this year than last; any one having taken or taking one year of college science ean be an active member, and any one interested in science can be an associate, _The Club plans some interesting inno-- vations in the program this year. Trips will be taken to such places as the mint, the Breyer Ice Cream Factory, the Penn- sylvania Biological Gardens and the Mid- vale Steel Works. The Club also plans to have six speakers on scientific sub- jects during the course of the year, and to hold various social functions, such as , receptions, a tea, and a picnic in the spring. In closing Miss Dikeman said she thought many people in college would welcome these opportunities for investi- gating the problems of science, and that , she looked forward to a successful year.

JOHNS HOPKINS This week will be especially sig- nificant to Bryn Mawr as marking the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Johns Hopkins Univer- sity. Bryn Mawr, as stated in its} catalogue, .provides courses corre- sponding exactly to the Preliminary Medical Course of the Johns‘ Hop- kins University. Thus students are enabled to begin with serious study at the Johns Hopkins Medical School.directly after receiving their A. B. at Bryn Mawr. Many Bryn Mawr students have. availed them- selves of this opportunity, and un- doubtedly a large proportion of these will go to Baltimore this week to attend the celebration. Graduates of Johns Hopkins, among whom are numbered: fifty- four presidents of colleges and uni- ' versities, will not, however, be the only participants in the anniversary. Like the influence of the University itself, this celebration will be world- wide in scope. Eminent. scholars and scientists from: all. over the world will gather as a tribute of - their respect. ' It is rather curious that a Univer- sity whose Medical School has ad- mitted women students since its opening in 1893, should have been founded by a bachelor, but such is the case with Johns Hopkins. His life is told in some detail in the Spe- cial Feature Section of last Sun- day’s New York Times. “Instead of matrimony, credit was the aim of his life.” His career throughout is one of steady progress. Born in 1795 of English Quaker stock on a farm a few miles south of Annapolis, Johns Hopkins began his career as an employee in his uncle’s wholesale grocery business. After rising to a position of great responsibility—as is shown by the fact that his uncle left him in charge when the British were coming up the Chesapeake in the war of 1812— Johns Hopkins with his uncle’s backing established his own busi- ness when only 24 years of age. In 1847, having made as great a suc- cess as was then possible in whole- sale grocery, he entered the field of, private banking. He lent money to individuals possessing ability as well as to concerns. In 1873 he was the means of warding off a panic from Baltimore which almost ruined New York and Philadelphia. The story of the founding of Johns Hopkins University rivals the life of its founder in strange- ness. Johns Hopkins and George Peabody met at a dinner in the house of Robert Garrett shortlly after the close of the Civil War. During the course of the evening’s sires pe Se Hopkins was e similarity "between his. own r and that of George Peabody. Both had started 8b small beginnings ; both had been em- by an uncle; both had later setup in business by that uncle; both had: later entered pri- i ating and both had | centinue: the first.two yéars of the "| college and'merge the last two with the graduate department: without transgressing the founder’ s wishes either in letter or spirit. DING-DONG! In the cold gray hour before eight o’clock we have often wondered, as we gathered the covers about our shivering shoulders, and tried vainly |’ to go to sleep again, “what is the tradition of the.7 A. M. bell?” Did the Reverend Dr. Taylor, ¢ rd - when he founded ,the college, in-| stitute the bell to summon the first ardent Quakers to early morning prayer meeting? -Or did-the night watchmdn, as he hung on the bell- rope to sound. the alarm for the Denbigh fire, swear like Constan- ‘tine before the battle, that if the flames were quenched, he would have a peal of bells rung, every morning at seven in ‘gratitude to the gods. ie Surely“it is not to wake those who suffer from 8 o'clock classes; for they. merely roll over, cursing it, and get up 20 minutes later. Fur- thermore, sad experiences tells us that they all have alarm’ clocks any- way, shrill, piercing ones, which fol- low on the heels of the great tocsin, like vultures on the trail of a wounded steer. ‘As for those of us who have no‘8 o’clocks, we might be able to ignore. the screams of the vultures, if only we were spared the bellow of the steer. ALL AT SEA An interesting experiment in edu- cation. is being undertaken this year —the good ship Ryndam is sailing around the world on “University Trayel Association,” originally sponsored by New York University has chartered the Ryndam, provided a faculty of 4o, and enlisted 450 boys and 57 girl students as stu- dentg. Credit for work done on board is being given by the major- ity of colleges and universities throughout the country. with the countries to be visited, in a most interesting manner. For example, art appreciation courses will consider first the art of the Far East which the ship will visit first. Geography, history, politics are arranged in the same way. There is an unequalled opportunity for astronomy, for in the course of its eight months journey the ship will see almost the entire heavens. A course in navigation will benefit from the opportunity for pre work on the bridge. The members of the Faculty have come’ from institutions from all over the country; nearly every great college has contributed someone, An ex-college president heads the staff ; an a is in charge of the journalistic work; a dean of an Eastern college is in charge of the students. These students are partly under- graduates, partly graduates and old- er people, partly sub-freshmen. Contacts will be made with foreign students through the medium of athletics. In some cases the foreign students will act as hosts, thus giv- ing their guests chances ordinary tourists cannot have. The problems of this university are many. They must work out a sys- tem of self-government to fit the conditions aboard ship and om the shore trips. Sufficient exercise must be had, and while classes in gym are required, some of the boys are meet- ing this difficulty by stoking for twenty minutes a day. — Christmas in Rangoon, Easter at Gothenburg—we will watch the pro- gress of this experiment eagerly and in the meantime hope that is suc- ceeds. : To the Editors of the News: out their decision of last'yeaf'to dis-}f Extensive inquiry has resulted in ° The Pillar ‘ of Salt a ‘Our mail box was “fall this week Dear Mrs. Lot: While I am ‘ flattered by your awarding first prize in the Title Contest to me, | still feel.a certain annoyance against you.

Johnson are “sketched for us and com-, mented on in this editorial «from the New York Times: Easy College Days. . Our “heagt goes.out to” the mob of un, ef§raduates whose athletic and social pursuits afe too often interfered with by the pragmatical pedants, of the fac- ulty. An article in The Cornhill Maga- zine on “Samuel, Johnson, Undergrad- | _ mate,” may_ be recommended to students whose avocations leave them time for ‘any reading except’ the “tabloids.” There is nothing rew about Samuel, though too many’ Boswellians, -forgetting Dr. Birkbeck Hill’s examination of the Pem-+ broke College buttery books or misled by Garlyle’s invention of “the poor setvi- tot?’ still regard him as a moping pauper in his Oxonian period. The bills show --that. he lined his insides. with plenty to ‘the entire year, W eat and drink, As to the old shoes inci- dent, it is natural to believe that Samuel “preferred the comfort ‘of his old pair, and..disliked _ the imputation. that they looked shabby.” Or he may have posed. Surely he was |‘ ‘showing off” to Hannah More when he told her, more than a half cen- tury later, piloting. her about Pembroke : “There we played cricket.” “ OFeome! did the blind calendars play’ polo ?, It is. not |, Johnson, but the. good old- collegiate “soft. snap” that. invites studious youth. Johnson went to a few lectures, when he felt like it, but was never bothered by examinations. There were none at Oxford until 1802, no classes to go to till f807. True, there was much face- tiousness among the high-colored dons. There was a ~purlesque examination. —In 1770 John Scott, of University College— later the quintessential Tory, Lord Eldon —got his. degree after this searching test : I was examined in Hebrew and His- tory. “What is the Hebrew for a place of a skull?” “I replied “Golgotha.” \Who founded University College?” I stated that King Alfred founded it. “Very well, sir,” said the’ examiner, “you are com~ petent for your degree.” . Gentlemen commoners danced, gave balls, went to foot races, horse races, cock fights, took boat, including music aiid wine, to some place on. the river. This outing was curiously called “A scheme.” There were prize-fights when the curmudgeonly Vice Chancellor didn’t stop them. Johnson, as~ we know, was a connoisseur of boxing. The cheer ful eighteenth century devotion of even the | clergy to drink is familiar. A traveler | in England nearly seventy years after Johnson’s residence at Oxford encount- ered a clerical fellow named Maud., When they reached Oxford at midnight, , Maud took him into the Mitre, where, to! his astonishment he found “a great num- mer of clergymen, all with ‘their gowns ~-and-bands-on, sitting around a large table, each with his pot of beer.” The futile inanities of their conversation could hardly be equaled in a party of touts and ~ stable boys on their way to a race meet- ing. Late in the morning, “the crapulent crew dispersed.” Discharging a great oath, the Rev. Mr. Maud remembered and said that te “must read prayers this morning at All Souls.” Our young friends must learn to be philosophical and reconcile themselves to the intrusive innovations which time brings. Clergy- men of the Church of England no longer sit birling at the beer. Inquisi- tors. of devilish ingenuity lie awake nights devising intolerable examination papers. One has to work, but there are alleviations. The half “loaf” principle nay still _be applied. : t NEWS FROM OTHER COLLEGES All upper classmen at Dartmouth col- ‘lege are required to take: part in some athletic activity~ three times ‘a’ week for “. ‘six unexcused ae absences permitted: er Bnd students of the | University, of ‘Pennsylvania decided that the .modern girl is not the one that orfe would care to settle down with: The old-fashioned _| girl, with her afrs and graces and domes- tic propensities,’ is superior to the young miss of 1926 with her rolled. stockings, cigarettes, cocktails and her free and easy attitude toward petting, they claim.

Evanston, Il—Abraham ‘Kalom, 45- year-old Russian ‘immigrant, who sup- ports his wife and. three children by raising sugar beets, was enrolled as a freshman at.the Northwestern University here. One who~has—been puzzled by the difference between the American: uni- versity system and.that in force at Cambridge and Oxford will welcome the article “Education in the English Manner,” in the October Atlantic. Gail. lard Lapsley, the author, discusses with ganization of a university. the method and value of the tutorial } system, the customs of living in the colleges, the disciplinary and social arrangement. Mr, Lapsley is more familiar with Cambridge than with Oxford. Indeed, he disclaims the right of being able to speak for the latter at all, except in so far.as it resembles the former in their common differences from other universities, both American and English. The author summarizes. his state- ments by. saying that “The ‘English | college. stands halfway between a big lia mily and a small job. .
