‘| Woodward’s élection is hailed with en-

 

The Presidents of the seven .eastern
‘women’s colleges, Barnard, Bryn Mawr;
Mount Holyoke, Radcliffe, Smith, Vas-
sar, and Wellesley, have joined forces
in an article in the November issue of
the Atlantic Monthly. It states the back-
ground of these institutions and tells of
the work they must do and the problems
that confront them.

The first point made is the similarity
of these colleges in geographick! situa-
tion, age—none are far from fifty, either
way, “and as they all of them represent
the same period of American educational
history in their foundings they arose
from not dissimilar conditions and dealt
with the same difficulties.”

The early struggles of them all are
sketched efforts to induce schools to give’

adequate preparatory work and to create
a sympathetic attitude in the community.
The personnel and the methods of
selection and housing are described.
Then it goes on to say:
“With the students once admitted
the women’s colleges have tried
to see that the work was well directed,
With blood and sweat, presidents or
faculty committees have tried to select
for their faculties proved -or potential
scholars, and an effort has been made to
make sure at the same time that these

men and women are good teachers—

that they have both the dream and ‘the
interpretation. On the whole the strug-
gle has availed. The teaching staff holds
a dignified and important part in the gov-
ernment of the college, in the devising
of the curriculum, and in establishing
the experiments in learning and teaching
by which the college is to grow in wis-
dom. :
Curricula are of late years forever in
the melting pot. From the time of the
great original experiment which was to
prove that a woman could actually take a
man’s education, the women’s colleges
have never been afraid-to experiment,

though they have often had to look to

their scanty resources and turn away
from some tempting venture.”

Here follows a survey of the more
important experiments such as the Bryn
Mawr Summer School, that have been

actually attempted.

Women Are Serious Students

“The libraries and laboratories of the
women’s colleges are equal to those of
many ‘colleges for men, and in some
cases superior in their resources. The
work of the students is not seasonal;
the steady routine of the year is not
broken in on by feverish periods of in-
tercollegiate athletics. But beyond and
above all in importance, both to the in-
dividual college and tothe whole group
of women’s colleges in the country, is
the fact that, with all individual excep-
tions allowed for, there is a general
understanding between the women’ s col-

- lege and the student that she has come

to work seriously at a long and arduous
task which is important for her as an
individual, but also important because

nity to which she must make serious
contribution. The undergraduates now

Woodward, Cross and Collins .
Elected Juiior C lass Officers\\

Aaa Woodward was aide to the
shigh office of Junior Class President. on
a wave of enthusiasm at’a meeting held
last Wednesday in the businesslike mist
of the Merion smoking room. Miss
thusiasm by all political parties of the
class. As chairman of the Glee Club
scenery committee last year she showed
her ability. All.those who recognized
the artistic and engineéring triumph of
a gondola which actually floated on and
off the stage will always admire the tal-
ented adaptor of roller skates as a stage
device. Miss Woodward also scored a
great hit as Call-boy in Varsity Dra-
matics, while as an Athlete—but no more
need be said.

The election of Rosamond Cross as
Vice President also pleased all factions.
Everyone who knows Miss Cross knows
how much time and real interest she
has given to work for the class and the
college. The wheels on many commit-

tees have gone around more easily arftl
more energetically, on gccount of her.
This year she was’ on the. Membership
Board of.C.
in welcoming/ the freshmen and’ seeing
that things rat Smoothly during the first
rather hectic week. Besides this it is to
her that we all’ owe our C. A. girls—
she spent the summer sorting and deal-
ing them out. Miss Cross has been
Captain of the second-class hockey team
for two years and is manager of her hall
team, This year she is a Junior member
of the Executiye Board of Self-Gov.
“Kit” Collins was elected secretary
almost unanimously. In her short week
as temporary Keeper of the Minutes and
Poster of Notices she amply proved her

capacity for the job. Miss Collins was

class archery captain in her freshman
year and has always acted as a prime
promoter of the sandwich industry. Var-
sity dramatics practically owes its exist-
ence to her heroic and persistent efforts
in their behalf.

team, which might almost make us proud
of holding them to a final score of 6-5.

The first half began badly for Bryn
Mawr. The team was constantly
bunched, or out of position, and after a
few minutes, Germantown scored its first
goal. Things did not improve, although
the ball was worried somehow down the
field; thereewas a scrimmage in front
of the goal, and Guiterman, with quick
action at a critical moment, managed to
shoot it in. After that Betty Cadbury,
who was the youngest player to go
abroad with the All American team in
1923, took possession of the ball, ran
down the field with it, and shot it into

the goal, over Al’s head, and out of
her reach. :
Lena Ball, Germantown’s center for-

ward, is a new member of their team,
and an invaluable one—three of their
goals are to her credit. In the backfield
were three All Americans, or ex-All
American members, Kitty McLean, Mary
Morgan, and Helen Ferguson, besides

team. It is, therefore, a matter of pride
that our forwards were able to crash
through this strong defense as often as
they did. Tuttle, especially, outplayed
herself; and Longstreth was particularly
wily in evading the fullbacks. Guiterman
as usual played a very good game, and
was also as usual dependable in the
shooting circle. _.

Our team, howeyer, handicapped itself
by fouling rather more than might have
been expected, their favorite failing, that
of being offside at crucial moments. In
the beginning of the second half the
team rallied, and for a time it seemed as
though the game would end in a tie.
However, we were outplayed, and our
weakness shown up for, we Rope, our
future benefit. :

Costuming for May Day is always, of

individual characters.

The second of the, prizes is offered to

the designer of the best standard, to be

carried in the procession of the pageant ;
until now standards have only been
flown from the buildings, so a great
many more will have to be made this
year than ever before. Each band of
players will represent a noble house, as
that of the Earl of Pembroke, and each
must have its own flag to fly. The fol-
lowing is an excerpt from an old docu-
ment in the Dulwich Museum, and it
gives an interesting idea of how the
players of old were given a kind of in-
formal charter:

“Friday the sixth of March certain
players came before Mr. Mayor at High
Hall there very present and Mr.
John Tate and Mr. Worship, who sayed
they were the Earl of Worcester’s men.

HEAD WORKS MIRACLE

. g
(Specially contributed by ‘E. Stewart,
and H., McKelvey, 98.)

On the fifteenth of June, 1927, two
energetic “undergraduates” in an ancient
Franklin met twenty-two érains. Their
object was to gather together the one
hundred and one Summer School. Stu-
dents who were arriving in Bryn Mawr
that day.

These girls, of every nationality, and
every. sort of occupation, came from
places as widely separated as York, Eng-
land, and Seattle; Washington. Their
ideas were as varied as their home
towns; heated arguments would arise on
any subject from Socialism to stew
recipes. But from the time they were
brought through Pembroke Arch, they
became, not merely one hundred and one
individual” factory girls, but a unit, a
whole—the Bryn Mawr Summer School
for Industrial Workers, Class of 1927.

It was Miss Smith, the executive head
of the school, who wrought the miracle
of unification. Besides being so impor-
tant an official, she managed to know
every student personally, to know all
about her, what she thought and why
she thought it, and what her particular
difficulties were. She adapted herself
to every occasion, and was indispensable
to the organizers of—skits, where she
was equally popular as ‘a street car con-
ductor (in the night watchman’s brass-
buttoned coat), or a railroad train, or
even as Pembroke Arch.

President Hiker from Chicago

As for the girls who belonged to the
class, each one should be described in-
dividually, before you can form any idea -
of what the Summer School was. The
class president, Alma Polkoff, came from
Chicago on foot. She was a tall, raw-
boned girl, with sandy hair really boy-
cut, and when she strode into the regis-
tration office in her hiking clothes no
one suspected that she was of the
feminine gender. Her masculine appear-
ance won for her the nickname of “Mr.
Miss,” and as such she was the re-
spected leader of the school. Her good
sense and infinite, patience made the
class meetings, which were apt to be-
come stormy sessions, orderly and fruit-
ful affairs. ~

Helen Meltzer, the editor of the school
paper, was one of the best educated stu-
dents. we bad. Although foreign-born,
she had gone to school in this country,
and had continued studyifig with her
husband, who is a lawyer. The two
issues of the Bryn Mawr Echo, which
she supervised, are particularly interest-
ing; they contain many accounts of
actual experiences that the girls had gone
through, such as first-hand accounts of
the war, and tales of youth spent in
making broom handles,

Some one gave as her conception of a
Radical “one with strange ideas ex-
pressing every time which is con-
venient.” Such was Sylvia Zwerin. She
was a Russian girl, made cynical and
bitter by her experiéhces, and ready with
an opinion on any subject. She nearly
broke -up one class at which the
question of whether students should wear

THE PROBLEM OF BATES

A new experiment was made at
Bates House this summer: instead
of devoting the entire two months
to children from the New York

Spring Street Settlement, the
second month was given over to the
children from St. Martha’s Home,
Philadelphia. Aside from the sub-
ject of financial mismanagement,
the summer was, on the whole, very
-successful. There seems, however,
to be some controversy as to which
of the two groups is most worthy
of our attention.

The objection to having children
from the Spring Street Settlement in
New York isa rather definite one.
The Settlement is at present so
poorly managed that we are not at
all sure of getting the children who

 

 

are most in need of our aid. Several |

children were sent back for a second
period, taking the time of others
who had not been away from New
York and needed the country air far
more. Also, the Settlement work-

ers, in spite of careful directions, |”

sent down more children than could
be accommodated, and in some cases
it was found necessary to send one
or two back. On the other hand,
however, Mrs. Bates and the com-
mittee prefer New York children,
as it was for them that the institu-
tion was originally planned.

The children from Philadelphia
were found to be easier to control
and in more pressing need: of our
attention. They were, on the whole,
a more attractive group. St.
Martha’s Hou8e is an efficiently run
organization ; not only do the work-
ers select the children with care,

.but they also keep track of their]

peogrens during the winter months.
inally, Bryn Mawr, as a suburb
of Philadelphia, has more responsi-
bility towards that city than to New
York; we owe a certain amount to
the community in which we live.
Far more interest is shown in New
York slum children than in Phila-
delphia ones, but surely Philadel-
phia has its slums as well, and de-
serves our aid.

 

THE ANTI-BRITISH |

Out in Chicago just now they
are making a great pother about
British propaganda in school text-
books and schools generally Edi-
torially the New York World sug-
gests that the original inspiration
for the charge may have come from
someone with a textbook to sell.

Be that as it may, the controversy
has gone beyond that now. The
amount of high feeling being dis-

played is marvelous. These are

Carpenter and several students with

But our interest should be aroused
fot only as Bryn: Mawrters. but as
individuals. For surely “nowhere
can more satisfying results be ¢x-
pected from the liberal expenditure
,of skill and money than in Athens.”

An editorial in the New York
World says that “the region to be
explored lies * northeast from the
Harbor of Pireaius, north of the
Acropolis, and well to the westward
of the modern center of the city.
It is still devoted to markets ert
kindred purposes, but the. buildings
upon the site are for the most part
neither tall nor costly.” Money,
however, must be spent for con-
demnation proceedings and as sev-
eral thousand people must be re-
moved, expropriation powers, with-
out which the work would be i impos-

Fortunately, the modern city has
been planned away from those parts
of interest to the archaeologist.

“CO-ED”

“Co-ed” is a much abused word.
Often it seems to be used in a way
that completely loses sight of its
original sense. Beginning with the
one-sided meaning: of a girl whois
educated with boys—why boys are
not co-educated is a.mystery for
there must obviously be two sides
to the situation—it row seems to
stand for any woman who is asso-
ciated with men in any enterprise
whatsoever.

Take for instance, this . headline
from our friend and stand-by, the
New York World:

“CO-ED JURY GETS

LAWYERS’ PLEAS |

IN TEAPOT TRIAL”
When you read further, you dis-
cover that what is. meant is, not
“ndergraduettes” as they call them
at Oxford, but a superintendent in
a telephone office and a clerk.

Such an example of the mean-
ings to which the term co-ed is
being stretched, illustrates how fool-
ish it is. It is a silly word, neither
accurate nor dignified. Some sub-

COMMUNICATIONS

(The Editors of ‘the Coueck News
are not responsible. for opinions cx-
pressed in this column.)

To the Editor of the Cortecr News:

Here is a suggestion. It seems to me
that the system of C. A. girls ought to
be changed. Last year only one hundred
and twenty-five people out of. the whole
college applied for C. A. girls and of
these ten did not return to college. Of
the remaining one hundred and _ fifteen
only five were graduate students. . This
necessitated many - undergraduates tak-
ing two new graduate students as well
as a freshman. This put all at a disad-
vantage. It ig difficult to be one of
several who are being “looked after”
and it is difficult to “look after” more
than one. Of the one hundred and fifty-
five new graduates and freshmen whose
names were enrolled (before September
15th, one hundred and fifty-two received.
letters. This good record does not show
a general ifiterest throughout the college,
but emphasizes the work and interest of
a_small minority. Still fwrther, a great
part of the C, A. girl’s former work is
done now by the welcoming committee
for by the time the upper-classman ar-
rives the freshman knows almost as
much about the campus and the college
at large as does her C. A. girl.

‘The work of the membership com-
mittee has changed dnd grown with the
institution of freshman week. Their
work could be made simpler if the fol-
lowing plan (or ‘ one Bropcnsle were
adopted :

1. Let every member of the ‘college
who returns in the fall feel her respon-
sibility towards the incoming freshmen
and graduates and be willing to offer her
services to them.

2. Let the. membership committee
send out handbooks and a , Short wel-
coming form letter telling each fresh-
man that there will be a welcoming com-
mittee to receive. her.when she arrives.
etc., and ‘télling every graduate about
the graduate club. : ‘

3. Let the membership committee
deal out arbitrarily the freshmen to the
returning upper-classmen and leave a
note for each upper-classman during
freshman week telling her for whom she
is responsible. In this way all would
be accounted for and each person would
have only one C, A. girl.

This plan is not by any means per-
fected, but it seems to me simpler and
irore direct than the older one. .

ideas would express them either in the

“Coquette By George Abbott: and Ann *.

‘| Preston Britiges, starring, Helen Hayes.

» Son¥ehoW one always expects to see
Helen Hayes in a comedy—lingering
‘memories: of ,Caesar’ and Cleopatra and
What Every Woman Knows! -As if in
confirmition of this theory, Coquette is a
comedy, . with afew hints. of seriousness,
for one and a half acts. Then-it is quite»
defifitely a tragedy. ° The story. is that of
a Southern girl, Norma Besant; she is

attractive, prettily flirtatious, interested in

little but herself.- Suddenly slie falls in
love. with a man of whom her father
strongly disapprdéves: Her father is a
Southern gentleman, and ‘a doctor, yet
filled with the idea of the helpless purity -'
‘of womanhood. Charles Waldron plays
the part of Dr. Besanf with dignity and
sincerity. The part of Norma is perfectly
and powerfully played by Helen Hayes.

This was clearly shown by the sodden
state of the audience between the acts.

Indeed, all the characters are so well cast
that it is difficult to’select any for par-
ticular comments However, Una Merkle’s
part as Betty Lee, the visiting girl, should
be favorably spoken of. She wanders

vaguely in and out of the play, providing

comic relief at tense moments.

The one criticism to be made of Co-
quette.is that the tragic end is not sufh--
ciently foreshadowed in the first half. :
Consequently the audience is spot prepared
for it. It seems for the moment in-
credible. The problem of the play, once
it has been introduced, is well presented
and carried out. True fo life, it has no

solution. ry

“Porgy” Well Dramatized
Porgy, the present production of the
Theater Guild in New York is a drama-
tization of the novel of the same name
made by the author and his wife. The
following criticism of this play, which
is acted by a company of Neggpes and

_|directed bya Rumanian, was written by

Stark Young, and appears in the Novem-
ber issue of McCalls.

“When the Theater Guild shipeniped
that it would open the new season with
Porgy, by Du Bose Heyward, it delighted
many péople who already knew and
loved this story of the cripple who begs
all day on Charleston streets and, lives
by night with his friends in Catfish Row
near the harbor. ‘Porgy is gentle and
touching, with something about him too
that ‘makes him a born genius among
beggars. Where the others get nothing
he brings home every night a goodly
store of small coins.

“Of these coins Porgy counts out
enough for his living, such as 4t is; the
lrest goes on craps; the passion of his:
life is thé dice. In a Saturday night
game one of the dwellers: in Catfish

Row is killed. Crown, the killer, runs.
a d his ‘Sweetheart, Bess, takes
shelter with Porgy. She is degraded, a

drunkard and drug eater, a victim of
that “happy dus’” that issecretly ped-

about Porgy changes her; with him she
goes straight.

power over her. He swears that in the

Bess has come to love Porgy, but fears
Crown’s return and: knows that she is

Later Crown keeps his oath and returns.
He steals into Porgy’s ‘house at mid-

New Magazine
EOS Pushes to Fore

In these days of overproduction of
magazines, a new entry in the field must
be very gdod to attract any notice A
y- born enterprise—just two
months old—Plain
make a permanent. place for itself.

The first issue appeared in October
and contained snappy articles on Prohi-
bition, a Catholic for “President, gang
warfare in Chicago, American aviation
and a number of other interesting sub-
jects. Some of the.authors were Clar-
ence Darrow, Will Durant, Emil L,ud-
wig, Silas Bent and Don Seitz.

In the editorial section the policy of
the magazine is outlined in the follow-
ing words:

A magazine with a mission, dedicated
within the limits of human fallibilities
and prejudices, to tolerance, and nat-
urally to locking horns with intolerance.
To this end it will be inconsistent, fool-
ish, incongruous, unreasonable, good-
humored, bad-humored and even hodge-
podge, but never dull. It will be even
more an aim with. us to be interesting
than to be tolprant—and our muttered
prayer is that liveliness won't conflict
with tolerance. We have never’ liked
double funerals.

“We shall sincerely try to male you
laugh over one article, grow thoughtful
over another and denounce us with a
thousand damns at the third. .The edi-
tor issties a standing invitation for you
to come up and shoot him, and says that
if you mistake one of the publishers for
the editor, so much the better—one less
boss. The publishers say that if you
shoot the editor—well, there are lots of
editors without jobs, some of them pretty
good.

We promise one thing only, that we
shall never be flannel-mouthed or insipid.
We shall trickle to. no advertisers, kiss
no political toe, walk no fences, boost
no friends, fear no enemies,

We hope that no reader will ever
completely agree with us or with our
writers. God forbid! For that way lies
either niediocrity or. deserved extinction.

scription and take his money back. You
are cordially asked to send iff your com-
plaints, for which we shall reserve space.
If we don’t catch the devil ‘at least a
hundred times each month from our
readers, it will be no case of the readers
‘shooting the editor, but the editor and
publishers shooting each other. Send
your objections and sign: your name.

Not that we are crotchety, bad-tem-
pered, unfriendly. We merely Pe that
to say as Voltaire said means a path
hardly free from troubles and that the
crowd listening is not always going. to
What Voltaire said has been re-
peated a million times, but it will do no
harm to say it again:

I-do not agree with a. word you say,

but I will defend to the death your
right to say: it.
_ With the Novémber issue, we have a
better chance to judge if the magazine is
keeping to its high standard... Harry
Hansen, in the New York World, sum-
marizes its contents thus:

: Book Review ° -
__ James Branch Cabell ‘_
*Something About Eve - ds veritably a
komedy of Fig Lea es, ” Without, a
doubt, it is one of the best. satires that
any modern writer has thus, Ae st
tempted. & «

_ The theme is- an ‘intensely ” interesting
one. A Southern gentféman of the early
niygéteenth century leaves his’ natural
Pbody and proceeds upon the Silver Stal-
lion to the home of all the gods. His
fobject is to rid himself of “the impending

over-amorous advances of his. mistress;

but the journey proves futile as an
rescape from womankind: He is waylaid
incessantly by.women, “less plurally than
singularly.” Two truths alone does he
find to be enduring; and his ultimate
and unfortunately happy marriage forces
him to collapse into an honorable career.

The ‘supporting characters are inter-
esting and stimulating. God and- other
notables. such as Nero, King Solomon,
Satan, and Tannhauser are present and
never boring. And present also—rather
pré-eminently—is Eve.

Disartaainealt Probleni Noi One}
: of: Ratio, but of Getting
. Mutual Confidence. . ,.

“Hearing about the League. of Nations
each year is like hearing - the same
phonograph record,” said Dr. Fenwick
in Chafigl Friday morning, — “It —
seemsgto be the same thing... This .
however, has-been taken up chiefly with
a discussion of the disastrous disarma-
ment conference of ‘last summer,

“Seven, years ago the greatest experi-
ment of the world was born. Since the
unsuccessful Holy Roman Empire one
thousand two hundred years ago, it is
the first attempt to unite all nations:.and
make each responsible for the general |*
peace, '

“At first the League was, merely a
number of paper promises ; people* won-
dered if it were possible. -Now that it
is an established fact for all nations as’
a forum for discussion, the question is
how to make-it work. The non-co-
operation of the United States is no
longer ,important; the experiment is
working without us.

No Decisive Action

“When the Assembly met on Septem-
ber 1 it was amid gloomy auspices; the
disarmament conference called by the
United States had failed. ‘The League
saw that disarmament is necessary, but
that it is not so much a question of
ratio as of securing mutual confidence in
freedom from ‘attack and. agreement of
the nations to’arbitrate their difficulties,

“This subject was discussed for a
month and nothing definite was done.

‘Two resolutions, however, .were passed.

Poland introduced one of them con-
demning aggressive war, which all the
nations signed; this doesn’t mean very
much—any war*may.be called defensive.

“The other resolution called on. the
nations to study arbitration as a local
problem between small groups. These
groups, having successfully established
the principles of arbitration, will go on
to a | world: wide agreement to outlaw
war.’

Barnes Lectures in Philly

“Brave, honest and interesting” is_ the
description most’ often applied to Harry
Elmer Barnes, the young Professor of
History at Smith College, whose lectures
and books have done so much to impress
the thinking public with the profundity
of his studies and the justice of his
viewpoint.

In addition to his position of Professor
of History and Sociology at Smith Col-
lege, Prof. Barnes was Statistician~ in
the War Department in 1918, and is an
author of note. His works include
Sociology and Political Theory, The
New History and the Social Studies and
the Genesis of the World War.

Prof. Barnes is to sondiuct a series of
discussions on “Living in the Twentieth
Century,” under the auspices of the
Women’s International League for Peace
and Freedom. The soriferences will be
held in the auditorium of the Young
eMen’s Christian Association, 1425 Arch
street, directly across from City Hall
Plaza, on six cofisecutive Tuesday after-
noons at 3.30 o’clock, beginning Novem-
ber first, and will include the following
subjects :

1. ‘The Period of Coolidge vs: : the
Period of Liitcoln.

2. The Rise and Fall of Democracy
—Bolshevism and Fascism.

3. The International Problem of War
and Peace.

4. Morals ‘in the New Order, Crime
and ‘Prevention.

5. Essentials of Education for Con-
temporary Life.

6. The Case for Open-Mindedness.

Each conference will include ample
opportunity for questions and discussion.
Prof. Barnes’ articles on above subjects
have received most enthusiastic com-
ments. from historians and critics, both
here and abroad. , The originality and
clarity of his writings and his spirit of
intellectual honesty . have brought con-
gratulatory messages from such celebri-
ties as H. G. Wells, John Haynes
Holes James” Harvey Robinson, and

ores of other equally representative
authorities.

The articles follows:

~”

We ‘have become so accustomed to
talk about Youth Movemerts and wild
young people that it may seem super-
fluous to ask whether the members of
our. younger generation really are as
much inclined to shake off the leader-
ship ‘of: their elders as is commanly
supposed. But middle-aged critics
might well consider the convention for
the fourteeri college newspapers recéntly
held at Amherst College.

. These young men, who: we may”as-
sme are representative of undergrad-
uate thought -at the present moment,
deplored certain tendencies in modern
collegiate life including the drinking
and the overemphasis on athletic prow-
ess. But they went on to assert their
belief that these evils did not originate
on the college campus but were
brought there from without. It is from
the older members of the family or
community that the boys (and often
the girls) learn to drink and it is from
the alumni rather than from the under-

totally exaggerated attention to ath-
letics. y

I cannot believe that these college
boys at Amherst were merely “pass-
ing the buck.” I feel convinced that
they were looking deeper into the
causes of things than many of their
glib critics. We are constantly. hearing
criticism of the present day undergrad-
uate from the alumnae of the women’s
college. She is accused of being utterly
irresponsible, glacking in public spirit,
and guilty in individual cases of all
sorts of misconduct presumably un-
known in happier, purer days. '

Now it is true that college gixls
smoke more cigarettes, wear less cloth-
ing and go on more late parties in au-
tomobiles than their predecesors in
1910. But for the most part college
girls have been very little discouraged
in these practices at home. The in-
crease in divorce, the disregard of law,
the high tension un@er which we all
live is not the work of this famous
“Younger Generation” but of the gen-
eration which graduated between 1900
and 1910, and it is they who are refus-
ing to recognize their responsibility in
the matter. My own impression is that
the boys and girls now in college are,
for the most part, bewildered and troub-
led over the lack of definite standards
of right and wrong which they find on
every side, and that the more conscien-
tious are asking for more guidance and
more restrictions rather than for more
freedom.

The young men and women are quite
as docile and as simple in their mental
processes today as they ever were, and
they take the world very much as they
find it. They are not trying to work
out a new philosophy of life nor to up-
set old creeds. They find themselves in
a restless, changing world -with most
bof the old creeds questioned and many
of the old moral shibboleths under-
mined. Having more energy to ex-
pend than the rest of us, they do tend
to become more restless and perhaps
more destructive than their middle-aged
parents, but the initiative fs not theirs.
College teachers. are often annoyed
when undergraduates frankly criticize
the courses and regulations prescribed
for them. But none should know better
than they that the students reflect rath-
er than create the mddern tendency to
frank speech and franker criticism. No
advice from a parent will impress a
child of 10 as much as the example of
a child of 15; no faculty can mean as
‘much to the undergraduate of 1927 as
the graduates of 10 and 20 years ago.
In many respects the college stu-
dent of today, far from being rebellious,
is the most hopelessly conservative
of individuals, and his teachers de-
spair in their efforts to keep him
from taking the precedent of his
elders (which may be a_ prece-

resents but. often fails to make clear is
that these young people’s conversag
tism is based not on his standards but |
on those of the generation between ned §

something to the pleasure, and problems
of the school, and all were eager and
enthusiastic about the Classes.-

Science was about the most popular
course offered. It included everything
from the observation of silk-worms and
monkeys in Room E, to a study of the
stars*from the roof of the gym, At all
hours strange bugs were presented to
Miss Brown for interpretation, or pur-
sued to be treasured for the rest of the
summer,

Project Course Given in Ecdhomics

Special attention was given to Eco-
nofics, a required course, which was
considered practical and necessary. The
most advanced students were put in a
project class, where each girl gave an
oral report on some problem of interest
in the industrial world. This gave an
opportunity to learn from the experience
of others, as wéll as from books.

Almost as important as the oppor-
tunities for study offered by the school
were the opportunities for play. The
swimming pool, the gym, and the athletic
fields were in constant use.~ Tennis was
a great favorite; almost everyone had
brought a racquet and an ardent desire
to learn. The rythmic dancing was also
“extremely popular; that and folk dancing’
were held on Radnor green, with the aid
of the gym Victrola.. Parties of every
type were held, from informal evening
song meetings, where the Russians
starred, to carefully planned perform-
ances stich as the Trade Party, or the
closing Pageant.

The two months passed all too rap-
idly, and finally the fifteenth of August
arrived. At this point the dilapidated
Franklin, such an essential part of the
“school, broke down from the strain of
parting, and a Ford had to be substi-
tuted to take the one hundred and one
students back to the twenty-two trains

New Yale Department.

New Haven, Conn., June 9.—The
establishment of a department for per-
sonnel- study at Yale University, made
possible by a gift of $300,000 from C. H.
Ludington, '87, of ‘Philadelphia* was an-
nounced today by” President James Row-
land Agel. “~ |

The new ‘department will have two
divisions, one the Bureau of Appoint-
ments largely as constituted at present
and the other devoted to ass‘sting the
orientation of Freslimen in the choi-e of
their upper school, discussing with stu-‘
dents in Yale College. and the Sheffield
Scientific School the election of courses
and careers, collecting data to aid the
Board of Admissions in problems re-
lated to methods of selecting students.
jand in general assembling information
‘hat will be helpful in educational and
vocational guidance and in. the place-

ment of graduating Setiiérs. The estab- |

lishment of the new department now
made possible by Mr. Ludington’s gift

reflects the keen, interest shown in prob-|

lems of personnel stin
and students alike.

No. More Excuses
For Cutting Classes

Attendance at classes was the subject
ot Mrs. Manning’s address in Chapel on
Friday morning, October 7. There is
no compulsory attendance, she  ex-
plained; it is left to the individual pro-
fessor to decide what he shall do. But
the Faculty and Senate have handed over
to the undergraduates the business of
keeping track of the numbers of cuts
taken by the students and notifying the

large. An allowance of 15 cuts a sem-

and count as a two or. three hour course,

4once a year, and eliooses the scholars

 

ester is considered plenty to cover all

The student is therefore .asked not to
go to the Dean, or. Dr. _ Wagoner for
trifling excuses, ‘tiut to leave plenty of
cuts to, cover whatever occasion may ar-
rive. Cuts are allowéd. tor.” hence
not for pleasu¥e.

Mrs. Manning also announced two
hew courses; one in. Labor Movements,
undef Dr. A. McCheney, to* meet at 13

and one in drama-w riting, given by Mr.

Barrett Clark at three on Thursday.’
