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.

Few American singers have risen to recogni- tion in as short a time as this beautiful and talented young St. Louis girl. ‘Miss Traubel made her debut with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra under Ru- dolph Ganz, with such gratifying results that she was chosen to be soloist on tour with the orchestra. When Mr. Ganz ap- peared as guest conductor of the stadium concerts in New York in the summer of| | 1925, he invited her to be the soloist in a Wagner program. She scored the greatest success ever earned by a stadium soloist. The result was an engagement for the following summer, and after again sing- ing before the vast outdoor audience of 10,000 persons, she was not only re- warded with the thunderous applause of the public, and the praise of the critics, ise | but with A personal tribute from Fred- rk erick: Stock, conductor of the Chicago |The TOGGERY SHOP. “Restrained - and’ gently si "2 ‘Fairly. amusing .com-| Forrest—T winkle, Twinkle, Closes October %%.
