Mawr League which was held in the music room of Goodhart. Hall on’ Sunday. evening, Oc- tober 13. Miss Speer, after reading an intr tory passage from Jogeph Glanville’s The Way of Happiness, went on to ex- plain. to the college the point of view which the Teague has concerning the Sunday evéning services. “Until last year, the Sunday evening services used to be arranged very differ- ently.. There was an outside speaker every Sunday evening, and the service was miuch the same as a regular church service. They always used to beheld “in the cMapel in Taylor—a place used also for the éntrance examinations. But it. was hard.to get a minister for every “Sunday and even when there was a good man, it was only on an exceptional eve- ning that he found more than thirty in his congregation. More often he’ found himself confronted by a few faithful souls, a bored choir, and many marble, and totally pagan, statues. So last year the system was changed. The Christian Association became the ‘Bryn Mawr League. It was decided that people ‘iight be more interested in chapel if we did not try to cram-religion —good, bad, or indifferent—down their throats every week. ‘So we started hav- ing musical. services, with organ music, ‘anthems by the choir, and a few minutes for prayer. In addition to the musical services we still have five or six. with outside speakers, and ‘for those we try. to get the very best ministers that we can. On the Sundays when there is neither an outside speaker nor a musical service, we have vesper services, which are led either by a. member of the faculty or a student. se “——«“T“Hopeée you see the connection,” Miss Speer went on to say, “between .the pas- ~ sage-f-read-from-Fite IVay- of Happiness- -and the question of ~Chapel,-—It—-is -so “easy to put ‘wotlaryinerest and et engag- ment’ first and forget. chapel. I know it is not compulsory, and it would be un- thinkable to’ have it so here. But I am not pleading with you to come every Sunday; nobody wants to force chapel on-anybody. It is discouraging, though, for the choir to practice and for .Mr. Willoughby to arrange an - interesting program, and then for ‘only twenty or - thirty people to turn out. And it seems rather*impolite to ask a well-known mif- ister to come to speak to such a small audience. Few really good ministers like to desert their own large congregations for-a-mere handful. ° Where There’s a Will “Here at college one must go to classes and for two years. one must be athletic; but one’s spirit is~negtected;—or~ rather, its cultivation is left. to the individual. There’ are, of course, some people’ who feel that their spirits are all right in the state of nature. Chapel is not for those. But I know that there are some people who do feel a need of something, and it is for those that we have chapel. “Tt is hard for one person to know what.everyone thinks of chapel, and I &f the-two- big. plays -of the-year: Pistnite “plans*have yee been image about’ Lantern Night Proves « True to Tradition Another year has brought another Lantern Night and taken it away, leav- ing the memory of. a moon-coluded the shadow-filled and black-robed figures spangled .with evening, cloisters, sparkling. lights, to compensate for its loss. The harmonious strains of Pallas Athena Thea and Sophias. Philai Paro- men have drifted away, but the manner in which they were sung will not be forgotten so quickly by those’ who heard the beautiful-hymns on Friday night. The old Bryn Mawr custom has*lost none’ of its solemnity and in- spiring beauty—qualities to which the classes of ’32 and ’33 were keenly-alive and which they strove to honor with their voicés. The Sophomore class en- tered the cloisters singing, and carry- c-|ing the red lantern of ’33, and though difficulty in the first transition from verse to. chorus somewhat marred the effects of the entrance, the Sophomores soon righted the mistake and gradually regained confidénce.. The final stanza, sung from the corner of the cloisters, made up in the feeling and beauty of its expression, for the unfortunate. begin- ning. The Freshman ceremony was splendid in every way. with no rough places~eviderit in their choruses. The real merit of their performance is more remarkable when one considers that they had less than a week of ‘actual practice. The Upperclassmen, grouped under Pem: Arch, joined their voices in the Sophias Philai, as the Freshmen marched from the Library to fill their newly- acquired place between Juniors and Seniors. And Lantern Night ended with the singing of class and banner songs—perhaps rendered with little art, but certainly rich in feeling. Varsity Players Outline : Plaris For This Year On Thursday afternoon, October 10, the “Varsity Players” served tea in the Commons Room, and defined themselves and their activities for all those who are interested in their plans for the current year. Ethel Dyer, ’31, as Chairman of ‘the Committee, spoke in its name. The name “Varsity Players” actually gives a mistaken impression; there is no closed organization of people inter- ested dn. the dramatig activities. of the college. “The plan, at present, is to re- -vert to the old name of “Varsity Dra- mations s-this--wilremembering her several visits to Bryn Mawr,. had asked the President of the College to attend the luncheon given for her in Philadelphia; Miss Park also said .that an invitation to visit Bryn Mawr had been extended to Miss MacDonald, but she was unable to accept due to her many engage- ments, - “I have always believed that the American people are subject to senti- mentality,” Dr. Fenwick» began. In spite of the building of skyscrapers, we react to the primitive appeal. This is being borne out in the fa®t that a crisis in world history is to be settled not by wary diplomats, but in the wild- erness of Virginia by two statesmen balanced on logs and smoking pipes. This hds appealed to the people, and if disarmanient gets across in the back- country it-is the picture of these states- men that will have made it possible. Ten years ago an effort was made to produce disarmament: Diplomats decided to. work out some. system _ of |: co-operative defense. ae ‘was a mag- nificent idea that it almost took: the World War to produce. It was writ- ten in the covenant of the League of Nations, but it could not take shape, for the United States. saw, in*-the. scheme the United States turned its back upon the very idea that its own statesmen ‘had put before the world, and the plan for collective disarmarnent fell flat. In 1921 we called the Washington Conference to discuss a means for the limitation of armameénts,._The Confer- ence labored for three months and rep- resents the great work of Mr. Hughes. “T remember saying, ‘The mountains are in labor, all you get born is a poo littke mouse’.” A ‘ratio was estab- lished in regard to dreadnoughts, pro- portioning the number to be possessed by a given country according to its size. Otherwise the Conference came to no It was a fraud and a sham, but as realists we say that it was a first step. Then things went-on as before;. the League again and again made efforts to produce disarmament, but was blocked by the ‘stand of the United States. Finally, Mr. Coolidge ‘called a confer- ence in Geneva that did not even pro- ducé a ‘ridiculous mus’; how could any- agreement. ~T thing be accomplished when admirals had heen sent to. represrof, the Tinited States? You cannot expect admirals to advocate disarmament. After the failure of.the conference in 1927, nothing.-was done. . Now, seated on logs,’Mr. Hoover and Mr. MacDonald are discussing parity.” The United States wants a small, number of . 10,000-ton cruisers. There is no even though the total tonnage is the same. France wants all submarines; Japan wants no sub- marines. Mr. MacDonald comes. ‘and says ‘parity. The Kellogg Pact says that we tend to grow good, but the legal value of the Kellogg Pact is nil. Yet there is a sentimental back woods feeling that we have renounced war. Now at least there will be no more” talk of ten-inch guns. In other words, the-ground has been laid for an-agree- ment still to be reached, “just because the heart of America has _ been touched.” More Music On February 12 the orcfiestra of the Curtis Institute of » Music will -play~at Bryn Mawr, under the leadership of: Emil Mlynarski.

On the American tours of the company he alternated, with Nijinsky in the leading roles Scheherezade, Spectre de la Rose, Sylphides, and other of Diaghileff’s fin- est. productions. _ Aiter withdrawing from the gompany, Mr. Gavrilov toured Europe -as the head of his own organiza- tion until 1923, when he returned to America, where he is_ now permanently resident.

FAREWELL Mr. Ramsay MacDonald has suc- ceeded in winning his way to the minds and hearts of most of those who have followed the details of his visit to the United States. The wisdom and self-sacrificing human- ity of the views he holds, and his Sincerity and earnestness in their] expression, have combined to give to Americans a vivid conception of the man himself. The, inspiration of one who has devoted his. life to the pursuit of peace,’ and who chose peace when it was a risk -in- deed, should make us realize clearly the tremendous importarice to the individual of \ this international question. ~ We feel that Mr. Mac- Donald’s_ visit, his own intense ~~—presenceshas-accomplished miracles ~gn- awakening the interest and clari- _ fying the vision of many°who have not understood the situation befGre. So we are honored to be able to acknowledge our indgbtedness to Mr. MacDonald and to wish him Godspeed on his departure. N:. ii A PLEA We blush, -every’ year,~on. the Monday morning following Lan- tern Night. The Freshmen, in the pristine glory of their untilted caps, appear before us in wistful imma- turity. We pity them, and-we can- not be of service. Somehow, to give their caps a gentle shove to right or left smacks of the embar- rassment of dropping dimes in beg- gars’ caps; the grateful glances .of the aided are so humiliating to all ‘concerned. And yet, friends, it is not even this that causes us our heated blush. It is that so many of us, in years gone by, have stealthily tipped our caps ourselves, in_ self-defense against forgetful upper-classmen. And still, despite sharp memories of these painful moments of protective self-tipping, we continue to submit each incom- ing class to the same humiliating process. We say our word for _ quick reform, and we have no doubt that the humbled class of 1933 will shout a unanimous refrain of affir- mation. ———- XX THE COLLEGE NEWS “ the | .

Summer= School For the past nine- summers factory girls from all over the United States and from the continent have been meeting at Bryn Mawr College to enjoy the free- dom of studying on its beautiful campus. Some people who have heard of the Summer School and of its one hundred students have been struck with the use- lessness “of .bringing such a small num- ‘ber sof girls to_taste_thebenefits—of—an existence which is so different from. their own. What good does it do, I have heard some one say, to make the fac- tory girls dissatisfied by showing them an education that they can never have? To come directly from a. noisy over- crowded factory to Bryn Mawr’s quiet green campus is too much of a change. We cannot’ expect any one to be so adaptable as. to avoid the bitterness of thought that such a change in environ- ment often creates. — I am certain that if the people who are _impressed-—with the uselessness of Summer School could stay on. campus during a few days‘of the session, they would chdfigé their opinion. cation in eight weeks, but one can often, in less time than that, develop a desire to understand and to-see different points of view. It is this, I think, that the Summer School accomplishes. The time is short, the ‘work is intense,.the workers are more intense. They are so hot- foot after ‘understanding that class dis- cussions. are often riotous. The girls are restless and eager to pile things in, but one does not feel that they ate em- bittered by their “eight weeks of study. They. come in doubting curiosity, they compare notes. Their interest in the fellow-workers, is founded on a com- parison, a give-and-take, a finding of likenesses and -unlikenesses between dif- ferent sorts of lives. It is like the -fit- ting together of the pieces’ of a puzzle ‘with the ‘surprise in the” final ‘picture. The general attitude seems to be this: we are girls from different. surround- ings, and-we are going back to them, but, for the present, let us see how our, ideas conform. .

The students are a picked lot of: boys and girls, and only, those of good character, and capable of coming up to the standard: of the school, are admitted. They are under strict discipline and show the influence of Miss Liu’s inspiring personality. There is real promise that from-these youths will develop men and women with a sound education and a spirit of service,° quali- fied to become leaders in the riew China. "There are now two former residences which are used for the school. In these seven classes recite, ranging from the first year of primary school to the first year of senior high school. There are forty children boarding in the buildings. | _Because—of—the—heavy—expenses—and- the limited income’ Miss Liu has not taken for herself a cent of salary during all these years. She is taking thirty-two hours of school work each week, besides "/ acting as principal and. business manager of the school.

Beatrice Har- rison, accepted by critics as the world’s most famous woman ’cellist, has toured repeatedly in Austria, Hungary, France, Holland, Scandanavia, Russia, England, and America, in which countries she has appeared as soloist with practically every orchestra of note. Her magnificent play- ing has’ inspired such composers as * Delius, Kodaly, Arnold Bax} John Ire- land, Cyril Seott, and Percy Grainger to write and dedicate to her compositions especially for her performance.
