HOW MUCH DOES
COLLEGE COST YOU?

Questionnaire to Be Sent Out
About Expenses for
Pleasure.

OLD “FINDINGS: PRINTED

Last year the Undergraduate Aaeiiag
tion undertook to compile, in answer ‘to

 

many requests, statements of the aver-

age cost of each year in college. . This

survey covered the ‘expenses absolutely :
” essential to college residence, such as caps

and gowns, and also optional expenses

directly-connected with college, such as
club dues, and song books.

In answer to frequent questions from
applicants for’ admission, and for. the

guidance of the Alumnae Regional Schol-
arship committees, it is now proposed to
make a survey of a third area in expense,
the average amount actually spent by
undergraduates, exclusive of all expenses
already included in last year’s survey, a
list of which is given below.
To Issue Questionnaire

Questionnaires will soon be issued: by the
Undergraduate Association which will
ask for a statement of the expenses. not
directly connected with college which the
undergraduate standard of living con-
siders to be necessary for happiness here
—such as food, theatre tickets, trips to
Philadelphia (but not railway fare home
or clothes). :

The Undergraduate Association urges
that you think over the question now, so
that your answers may be accurate, based
on fact, not on conjecture. People who
are or have been on an allowance. are
asked to look over their old accounts, and
derive their answers from them, since
they are the most trustworthy sources of
information.

PUGNACITY WINS GAME
FOR VARSITY

 

 

Wings Deserve Glory of Victdry
Over Philadelphia
Varsity’s “torch divine” refused to be

dampened by the downpour on Saturday
the Red team of the Phila-
delphia Cricket Club, being of less stern

“stuff, was submerged: by a score of 2-1.

The game, except on its merits as an-
other scalp for Bryn Mawr’s string, could
not’ be acclaimed as brilliant. It was only
won because of the pugnacity and fight-
ing ability which kept Bryn Mawr con-
tinually on the offensive. In spite of a
deplorable lack of co-operation and good
technique, this ability to keep on the
offensive is a good sign. A mechanically
perfect, smoothly working team without
fight will not win many games. And the
team of eleven good individuals did suc-
ceed in keeping the ball near the Red
goal most of the time.

* Wings Good.

Bryn Mawr’s forward line had rather
a hard time with the oozy ground, and

and Fowler and Longstreth got off some
good passes. Guiterman has both of
Varsity’s goals to her name, but - they
were not really her- triumphs as much
as the wings, who not only succeeded in
standing up, but in making fast runs
down the field’ Stix did not play as well
as last week; in fact, the center of the
field did not scintillate as it might have.
Perhaps the trusty Loines was missed.

As for the backs: Seeley played as
great game, better than usual if possible.
She was absolutely reliable and always

‘on hand, stopping the ball whenever it

broke away down toward Bryn Mawr’s
goal. The work of the backs, as a whole,
was not very, noteworthy. They did not
seem quite or to their job of feeding the
ball up to the forward line’ Stetson,

EVERY PRIVILEGE
_- IS A PENALTY

Dr. Hugh Black Warns by
Comparison of America

‘With Time of Amos. . :
DANGER IN © WEALTH

 

 

 

 

 

“It is a dieadful thing to be God’s
favorite,” said the Reverend Hugh Black

October 24. “Every privilege is a penalty,
every right a duty. -The danger lies in-
considering special dispensations due to]
oneself as one’s own particular right, and
imposing on them, expecting to be judged
by a different standard.” The parallel be-
tween times and the conditions in the time
of Amos is extraordinarily striking.
“Amos came up from his own country
to Israel, in the days of Jeroboam when
that’country was most‘ warlike and ,suc-
cessful. The people were prosperous and
powerful, their luxury demonstrated in
the fact that they slept on ‘beds of ivory,’
and ate the ‘lambs from the flock, They
had grown powerful and boastful—‘noth-
ing afflicts a nation like military glory.’
God’s Judgment Impartial.
“Then Amos came to Bethel and began
his prophecies by declaring the doom of
all the nations around Israel, finally. tell-
ing them that the same judgments would
fall on them, that they would be measured
by the same standards as their neighbors.
He acknowleged that they were a chosen
people, but his conclusion is strange.
‘Hear this word that Jehova has spoken
against you saying ‘You only have I
known of all the families of the earth’:
Therefore I will visit upon you all your
iniquitics. In this unforsen non sequitur
there is no connection ween the begin-
ning and the concl: forgiveness was
more to be expec :
“Man naturally p.esumes on a favor,
give him an inch and he'll take an ell.’
Deep down in our hearts there is a lurk-
ing hope that we will be excepted from
the general rule and will be dealt with on
special terms. But equality means that
we will all be judged by the same stand-
ards, and ‘our ‘responsibilities are in
proportion to our gifts.” The special
revelations to Israel carried with them
conditions. Election, or selection (with
Darwin), always means a penalty. People
even in a. democracy with its ‘privileged
classes,’ enjoy having a pull, be it only
with.the policeman; they are uplifted by
being favored, but they forget the price.
Rights Are Duties.
“This is hard to reconcile with religion;

FULL MOON RISES ON
| 1930’S LANTERN NIGHT

Senior Singing Follows With New
Freshman Class Song. - ,

A full moon in a cloudless sky and
a warm ‘night went far toward making
1930’s Lantern Night the most successful
in the memory of the college.

The Freshmen entered quietly, and ar-
ranged themselves in a half-circle, their
black and white very sharp in the moon-
light. After the long pause which tradi-
tion considers suitable, the Sophomores
entered, singing Pallas Athene unsteadily
at first. They gained in confidence and
unison as they moved in, until, as they
stopped before the Freshmen, their chorus
was strong and clear. A more judicious
disposition of the mutes, however, would
have heightened the effect.

The curious line of the regularly sway-
ing lanterns was more spectacular than
ever, with the small flame of the candle
glowing through dark blue glass. The
Freshmen’s rendering of Sofias as they
moved out was admirable, steady, clear
and unified.

Following her talk on Thursday eve-
ning, Dr. Alice Hamilton spoke again in
chapel Friday morning, October 22, tell-
ing more of.what her life at Hull House

has meant.to her. She considers it s“the

most valuable andinteresting part of her

life.

"A great many people who lived. there
later became important in public work,
whether as a direct result or not it is hard

to say. In some cases there is a very

close connection between their lives at
Hull House and afterward. - Mrs. Flor-
ence Kelly, important for her factory re-

form work, became the first criminal

probationer for children, because she had
voluntarily undertaken this work long be-
fore the office was established.
Hull House Products.
“Julia Lathrope started the first Juve-

the little prisoners could wait for their
hearings. Later, as a result of this work
she was sent to Geneva to sit on the
Committee for the Welfare of Children.

“Grace Abbott, while she was teaching
at the University of Chicago, worked a
great deal among immigrants, and was
powerful in founding the Immigration
Protective League. During the war she
was sent to Washington’ to the Foreign
Labor Board, and later she, too, was sent
to Geneva, to sit on the Migration Boara.
“Many private institutions in Chicago
and elsewhere are manned by-people who
got their first experience in Social Serv-
ice work at Hull House.”

Dr. Hamilton said that she herself
reached her present state from having
stayed there. She went there as a
bacteriologist, and would never have been
anything else, but at Hull House she be-
came interested in human _ problems,
especially in those crippled and diseased
on account of their occupations. She
studied this. subjects spoke on it, and
little by little became identified with it, so
that when the Labor Bureau wanted to
look into it, she was appointed to the
State Commission for Investigating.

C. M. YOUNG DIRECTS

(Specially Contributed by A. Learned,
29.)

 

 

 

Bryn Mawr is at last to have an atelier
of its own. Those who sympathized with
the aims of the Bryn Mawr Art Club last
spring will realize what it means to
student lovers of art to have succeeded
in organizing a studio in’.their midst
where every opportunity will be made for
self-experession along artistic lines.

The course, which will be given on
Saturday mornings is unique in more than
one way. The student group that made
the various: efforts needed to raise funds,
find expert instruction, arrange fora
studio, materials and models, will also
manage the class. Although this is un-
precedented in the history of the college,
the class gives every promise of sincere
and serious work, as it is based directly
on the desires and. needs of its members.
A freedom from pedantic methods char-
acterizes the course. Emphasis will be
laid or. life-drawing as a foundation, and
the work will be under the expert
guidance of Mr. Charles Morris Young,
well-known painter, who encourages the

‘freedom of expression and experiment

which make the interest and joy of the
pursuit.

The Club is most fortunate to have
gained Mr. Young’s interest, and heartily
appreciates his kindness in helping to
launch its somewhat precarious bark.
Thanks are also due President Park and
Miss King for their continued help and
interest in the club as well as in its new
offshoot. Were it.not for its mniany

PERSONALITIES, METHODS AND ENTERPRISES
OF HULL HOUSE DISCUSSED BY DR. HAMILTON

 

Meeting Place for People of.
All Classes and

‘Opinions.

MANY INNOVATIONS
IN’ SOCIAL SERVICE.

Descritiing she vahiall valuable things that one
can get from work in a Social Settle-
ment, Dr. Alice Hamilton, gentle, tolerant,>
yet vigorous, and for twenty-five years a

 

{resident of Hull House in Chicago, was

herself asfar more potent argument in
favor of social work than anything that

| could be put into words.

Hardly touching on the work the

settlements do for others, she tried to
show what they do for the workers them?
selves. The advantages on both sides are
now more generally recognized than in
the first years after the war, when a
wave of egotism swept over the dis-
illusioned people of all countries. But
now idealism has sprung up again, and
Hull House is at present larger than, ever
before. Dr. Hamilton, though her chief
work is in the East, still considers herself
a resident there, and is still acutely con-
‘scious of the advantages of living there
All Classes Mingle.

In the first place, in a.social settlement,
one learns to know people that otherwise
one would probably never even meet; not
only famous people, though they come to
Hull House in shoals, but people of all
classes of. society. In fact one comes to
realize that there are not any “classes” of
society. People talk about the “criminal
class.” But how, if you know the crimin-
als personally, arid all the circumstances
of their crimes, if you know the good
criminals and the bad ones, can you
generalize about the “criminal class?”

Living among the workmen and day-
laborers one comes to know the Labor
Movement from the inside, and one can-
not help sympathizing with strikers, when
one sees how everyone, the Government,
the capitalists, the settled classes are
against them. Leaders of the I. W. W.
like William Foster, come to Hull House,
and one learns to understand and sympa-
thize with their point of view.
