New Liberal Club Has Been Started This Year Although for some years all at- tempts to start a liberal club here have failed, there has at last been started one. which the founders expect will continue, and which has been run very successfully for one ‘semester. The organization is intended to be as democratic as possible, and has so far avoided all unnecessary rules and re- strictions. There is no regular Presi- dent. The Chair at each meeting is taken by a member elected at the pre- vious meeting. Becausé of May Day no regular lectures which ‘are open fo the entire college will be given this year, although speakers may come down for informal and private talks. Attendance Must Be Regular. Members are allowed not more than two cuts.unless they have a reasonable _excuse—this last includes. week-ends. ~ Meetings. are held every other week on ~ Sunday night after Chapel. Every one ected to, do some, reading on the "inex which has been assigned. It is intended that the discussion shall be concerned with current problems. So _far the. subjects for discussion have _ been Soviet Russia, Disarmament and “Companionate. Marriages. ‘New Members Invited. The membership is limited, but the original members think they can in- clude more than have so far been ad- mitted. Those who wish to be admit- ted are asked to come to two meetings both. that they.can discover whether the Liberal Club comes up to their ex- pectations and also: that ‘they may prove to themselves-and- the. members present that they can take an intelli: gent part in the discussion and can do ~adéquate work in preparation for it. Those who wish to join the Liberal Club are asked to ‘speak to one of the methbers as soon as possible, The a ‘of wisdom.and happiness is the per- present members are FE.

Goodness Is ‘Harmony : Christ’s Lifé Was Perfect in the « Way Sought By : Socrates. “We are just ‘beginning to realize that all the standards of life are im- plicit within each one of us,” said Dr. Albert Cohoe on Sunday evening, Jan- uary 15. “In other words, just whqn we fin-' ish breaking“all the rules thad'we can find to break, we discover that these very rules are not connected with out- ward things, but are within us and‘an integral.part of our innermost beings. : Each time we set out to solve one of the difficult.problems. of. life, we find that every factor of the problem is in- cluded in living the human life. vtiee Taife-of Harmen, Is Best.>*~ “It is then that we begin to:realize that the good life-is not the life of conformity, but the life of harmony— not harmony in things without, but harmony in things within ourselves. Goodness, in other words, is integrity. “The perfect life. is not» impossible. . Socrates looked about.for the unattain- able for many years. But since a mir- acle had to happen. the perfect lifé be- came a reality and Christ was born, lived and was crucified. . Publicity Doesn’t Count. “We are often inclined to think that the Christians were followers of Christ merely because He was_ spectacular: He arose and sat at «the right hand of God the- Father Almighty. But wheti we. read the letters. of Paul we see a light on. the subject: The rub- bish of. all the ulterior motives is brushed aside’ and we find the actual facts: a good man put to death for his goodness. Then it is that we see that the business of life is the good man and not what the good man gets in publicity. “We talk of Jesus Christ-as an ami- able person Who made us: behave .in our childhoods as our mothers wanted us to behave. We deprive Him of His virility and imagine Him weak and sweetly passive. But the fact that Christ is discovered again and again is proof enough of His virility. “The perfect life is not the life of a weak, polished gentleman. The life fect harmonious life—the life of Jesus Christ.” ° Jobs For Graduates Dean Tells of Openings in the ° Teaching Posi- tions. ree “Every year the Bureau of Recom- mendations sends out a questionnaire to all Seniors,” said Mrs. Manning, speaking in Chapel on Wednesday, January the 1ith. “There is gener- ally little response, probably because few Seniors know the type of job they are interested in. Also the Bureau does no active work in procuring any job besides that of teaching. ° Bryn Mawr Bureau as Clearing House. “The Co-operative Bureau for Teachers in’ New, York, and the Bu- reau of Occupation in New York and Philadelphia are more apt to get you a job, ‘What the Bryn Mawr Bureau can do, however, is to ke» a Clearing House for information about Bryn Mawr graduates. The other bureaus write to us and we can send them the information from your college records and the answers on the blank you have ‘filled out. “ “A good many private schools apply directly to the Bryn Mawr bureau for recommendations of. teachers; these are the schools that are willing to take a girl without special training or ex- ‘perience in teaching; and~- they are very willing to take the college’s word for her ability. art “The idea of Vocational Conferences, 'formal,.or informal, is to give the stu- ‘|telligent supervision. work. she will be interested: in.” Announcement of College Bureau. ‘ Any se at aa ‘or ‘graduate students “nhwedtehd to teach next year should register. immediately with the“Bureau of Recommendations No time should be lost as it takes -at least 4 week to fill out the application blanks and ob- tain the necessary references, and most schools make their appointments for the following year during the months of sua and February. “Last Year's Placements. ae year the Bureau of Recom- mendations placed about seven sen- iors and one graduate student in per- ‘mafient positions besides those who took summer work.

Dt. Fenwick Chosen Appointed Member of Committee for Codification of Inter- - national_Law...-—-—-- Dr. Charles Fenwick, Professor ‘of Economics and Politics, has been chosen as‘a member of the American Advisory Committee on the Codifica- tion of the International Law. This committee was chosen on January in Cambridge, under the auspices of the faculty of. the Harvard Law School. The. aim of this committee is to secure the :co-operation. of Ameri- can, authorities on legal subjects, “in order to place before the first confer- ence for the codificaton,’ of the inter- bs national law, which the League of Nations has called to sit in 1929, a systematic statement of American thought on the subjects as to which codification will be attempted.” These subjects include nationally, territorial waters, and responsibility of states for damage done in their territory to the persons or property of foreigners. The organization of this commit- tee is seen as anothef step in the di- rection of American co-operation with the League of Nations. The sub- jects which are to be studied are of vital importance to any future devel- opment of .amicable international re- lations, and. it will be interesting to follow: American.expert. opinion on. the matter. “Dr. Fenwick is a gradyate of, Loy- ola College and recei his Ph. D. degree from John Hopkins University. From 1911-1914 he worked in: the .di- vision of International Law, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and was a lecturer. on International Law for Washington College of Law for several years following. “In 1913 he edited a publication on the Neutrality. Laws of the United States, published by the Carnegie En- dowment for International Peace; in 1920, Political System ‘in Translations; in 1924, International Law.

They were photo- graphed, and their pictures -posted in Taylor. The ultimate choice was to have been. made’ from among their number, but, on the eve of the. big decision, just before Christmas vacation, a petition was handed to the committee that the elec- tion be postponed, and the last six candi- dates be photographed and considered. This .petition was signed by filty-five people; the final voting was postponed until after the holidays, and a mass meet- the ‘ing was held on January tenth to discuss the new suggestion. A motion was. passed after a good deal of discussion, that the petition be disregarded; then J. Stetson, ’28, moved that of the six highest candi- dates, the two-with the most votes be considered for the final choice. This4 motion, too, was passed. The result of the meeting was that Gendell and Nuckols were the. final people remain-} ing after the various processes of elimi-, nation. - Miss Nuckols came out as the winner of the last step of the competi- tion, and: the college expressed its ap- proval by electing -her with a large majority vote.

Several arms wefe wrenched in obtaining portions, but otherwise. the refreshments were both adequate and savoursome. The banquet was interrupted a few moments while a burly gladiator stabbed a lion with an umbrella, After this four stolid “cives”’ made some kind of a.noise on some kind of an obsolete instrument. , The hit of thé evening was the dance of five nymphs, who jostled each other about. until they ~fell down - with exhaustion. Whereupon Bacchus, being in no wise able to give them a moment’s peace, tripped around and over them.
