Twenty minutes later, as the room was beginning to fill the first eager devotees of. literature found that they could hardly distinguish the faces of the. newcomers, The large and curidusly” mosquito-netted balls of light that hang from the Chapel ceiling |- were certainly growing ‘paler. This seemed unusual, especially as the read- ing light on the desk still beamed bright- ly. The lights grew dimmer till they floated like eight pale moons above us; Chapel was in almost complete darkness; the ushers were forced to fall back on electric torches, giving a professional touch. Lights Flare—Then Fail. After a few minutes the lights flared “a little but at 13 minutes to eight they went out completely. Miss Faulkner brought in a lantern pillaged from the Lantern Man and set it quaintly on. the corner of the stage. By this time the reading light was out, too. The latest arrivals stumbled over feet and chairs, but on the whole there was a noteworthy calmness and lack of profanity. At ex- actly one minute to eight, the lights suddenly .reappeared and flared spectacu- larly to their full brilliance just as Miss Park and Miss Cather entered. The News reporter, anxious to find out full details of the matter, took pencil and notebook down to the power house.

It is hoped that alumnae and undergraduates will read it and give any information they know about the man to Miss Park, Washington, D. C. My dear -Presigent Park: Yesterday a very strange looking man who: claimed to be a friend of: Eleanor Baldwin’s called me up and came out to see me. Everything about him was suspicious, and finally when he asked for money, mother and I called the police. . He was searched at jail and it developed that he had an elaborate list of Bryn Mawr alumnae living here, and, for each one, a friend in her class living elsewhere. (He admits he got these from the Register.) He also had a similar list from a boys’ school, and ones from several clubs. It seems that he has traveled all over the country—his cloth- ing bore labels of stores from coast to coast. The police are working on the man’s Washington lists and they have ~ found that he visited or had appoint- the list. The police have asked me if I could get their case before the alumnae ‘ generally, so that if any of them else- where have been victimized, the man can be brought to justice. They feel he is experienced at his game and they plan to convict him for at least thirty days on a charge of vagrancy until they can get definite charges against him. Anyone who has seen him could not fail to recognize him, he is so peculiar looking. He may be anywhere from 25 to 35 years old. He is under-sized, slight with thin, straight blonde hair, china blue eyes, and no upper front teeth. | He wears large glasses with aluminum | _ looking rims, and, to me, called aoe HL Glen. ew ; Ingres’ Drawings Will Be Exhibited at B ryn Mawr An exhibition of the works ot Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres,,one of the great draughtsmen of the nineteenth cen- tury, will soon be at Bryn Mawr.

This. action js taken by the Senate made up of the full pro- fessors who have béen here three years; they know the college standards and the students, and make their decisions from a report of all the records, pre- sented by an executive committee. All the faculty are asked for information. There are two attitudes that a college may take toward jts students: One, “We will take anyone who comes. here as far as her. interest and ability carry her.” Two, “We have an objective standard, and will keep only those who can keep up to it. Students must reach our arbitrary standard.” Three Grounds for Exclusion. Miss Park gave three reasons why a student should be excluded if she fails to reach the minimum standard. First, because her presence brings dow the standard. “A poor student pulls down the average of her class ‘by taking the CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 CR. RHYS CARPENTER MAKES VERY IMPORTANT DISCOVERY Vanquished Boxer and the Belvedere Torso Are by One Hand. By Associated Press, Rome, December 15— Professor Rhys Carpenter, professor of archaeol- ogy at Bryn Mawr, and now at the American academy in Rome, has made an, extremely important archaeological discovery in identifying the sculptor’s signature on one of the most famous of ancient bronze statues about the date of which scholars have long disagreed. The statue, which: represents a seated boxer of ancient days, with his face bat- tered and his eats swollen, is oné of the treasures of. the National museum in the Diocletian Bath here. On the thongs which bind the heavy metal loaded cestus, the ancient boxing glove used in gladiatorial combats, Pro- fessor Carpenter discovered the barely perceptible signature of the artist in such small type that it had never been noticed. : Sculptor Well Known. Professor Carpenter was able to read the name “Appollonius, son of Nestor.” This sculptor is already known from his signature on one of the recognized mas- Belvedere” in the Vatican museum. The Belvedere statue is a fragment of a seated nude figure of heroic propor- tions which was found in the Fifteenth century. It was greatly admired by Michael Angelo and other Renaissance artists. Pr@fessor Carpenter’s discovery. thus connects two of the best known of an- cient statues in Rome as the work of the same master. z Sculptor Worked in Athens. -Appollonius probably lived about tné s his. workshop i in paar The bronze teripeces of the world, the “Torso of.- mid tury B. and pe oe eee Salary | that language courses come in the morn- s|ing, while.in the afternoon the students WHAT DOES WILSON MEAN TO YOU? | Foundation Offers $25, 000 Award for Exposition of His Ideals and Principles.

In describing last Friday morning in Chapel, the Study Tours in France under the supervision of the Minister of Public Instruction of the French. Government, Miss Schenck said that the material conditions were perfect and that the courses were excellent aids in acquiring facility in coriversation and in gaining French background. The joy of these courses is that the students are under no compulsion whatever—they are free to choose their courses and are also free to study as much or as little as they desire. For those who are prepar- ing themselves for orals, the courses are. very beneficial. The total price for the Study Tours per person, including passage, board, tuition and excursions, is $674 for those sailing on the Savoie, first-class, and $687 for the newest ship of the French Line, the Ile de France, second class.

CHARITY NOT GIVING Specially contributed by Jessie Hen- drick, '27, Last night at a coffee party of Ox- ford “undergraduettes” the conversation turned, as college conversation the world over will turn, to inferiority complexes, psychiatry, and social misfits.

Junior Month was nota course of train- ing for social work. It was intended merely to give the Juniors a better under- standing of social work, how necessary it is and with what success it can be adopted as an after-college career. The plan of work of the Juniors included lectures by~ eminent specialists. Dr. Blumengart on psychiatry, as Mrs. Fox-Lee a Czecho-Slovakian immigrant, on the social problems that come to Ellis Island, and Eugene Kinkle Jones on the Negro migration to the North The lec- tures were for the most part illustrated by visits to institutions. The Juniors in the course of four weeks were shown, among other things, the working of a children’s court, a workmen’s compensa- tion court, two reformatories, a hospital, and a settlement house.

OF LIFE “What is a novel?” began Miss Willa Cather, the first novelist (if the term may still be used) to give the Ann Elizabeth Sheble Memorial Lecture, ad- dressing her audience in Taylor Hall last Thursday evening. Because the word novel is vague and meaningless, Miss Cather preferred to term her subject “imaginative prose,” while referring her listeners for a more Virginia Woolf's recent book “The Come mon Reader.” There are many kinds of imaginative prose, Miss Cather explained, of which the majority are not'a.form of. att. This country excels he production of: machine-made pa ate whose manufac- ture, as a sort of Commuter’s Conveni- ence, is taught by of journalism. Another pernicious sort of prose is gossip about great men by their ex-cooks ‘and valets, called cham- ber-maid writing by Miss Cather. Has the novel a future in spite of these parasitical growths? Its only hofé> the speaker declared, is to be let alone, freed from the rules of technique which de- partments of English in fresh-water col- leges attempt to lay down for it. \An author does not plan his works accord- ing to a formula, and where he departs from custom, it is undoubtedly inten- tional. A speaker on the Russian novel jonce complained that in First Love, the narrator, whom he called the leading character, was..weak and colorless, a matter of. fact, character: in the nar- rator, whose function in this book is that of a~window through which the story. Forms Mean Growth. Standards can only be derived from what has already been written. There- fore, whenever a novel exhibits any new departure in form or composition, the teachers of English either condemn it "l utterly, or ake a new formula to which they will fit subsequent works. The truth is that imaginative prose, being a young and growing form of art, can never progress without the chance to develope fresh forms, to get away from: the old sentimental themes and: patterns, which are not the patterns of life.

Be- fore then it was a feeble’ organization with only seven or eight regular atten- dants, now it has an enrollment of about thirty members. Last year regular services, with hymns and. prayers, were first held; and there were also special Christmas and Easter services at which Miss Faulkner spoke, and the Glee Club sang. This system has been carried out again this year under the direction of M. Coss, ’28, who has lately been making an effort to pro- subjects of interest such as the Milwaukee Conference; and she has provided enter- tainment in the form of duets and piano solos.

If would seem so, especially in the case of week- ends, ‘since the situation this fall has The Bryn Mawr tradition has been not to interfere in any way with the number of week-ends its students take ;\but when that num- ber interferes with the college work it is apparent that something must be done. it, or the student body, is still unde- cided. ‘The faculty is averse to limiting week-ends—they feel as cate the ‘expediency of Saturday classes. This is one of the few col- leges which does not have them ; and point of view, it would be to spread the same amount of work over six days. There would no getting up for an eight o'clock lecture to a class that is two-thirds’ asleep—no restless Fridays with half the class gloved and hatted, watching ‘the clock—no despondent Mondays with the sense of “hangover” per- vading the room. But to most of us tiie idea of Saturday classes is totally .unwel- come. And we can avoid them, we can avert this catastrophe by .a little If we, this spring, materially bring down the average number of week-ends taken, the faculty will recognize that we are capable of meeting this situ- ation of our own accord, and the Bryn Mawr tradition of freedom will remain to our glory. When you get an invitation, stop before accepting. Think whether it is not more important to regret some things this spring, so that you will be able to accept some next year.

Actually the. beginning of every gen- uine imaginative production is personal emotional experience, which in itself de- termines the scope and the end of that work, \,It is impossible to assemble a work of art as one does evidence in a lawsuits. \ The early novelists developed their stories’ as one does a railroad bridge, carrying it out foot by foot on solid unshakable foundations, till its arc Lof progression was completed. Dumas developed his fiction in the manner of a hotserace, one breathless chase from start to finish. The modern novel is also an arc of progression, but a single unit, more like the living pulsating arc of the salmon as he leaps upstream than the steady advance of a bridge. The ori- ginal exnlosion in the brain which sug- gested the work is tamvered with as little as possible, carpentering is avoided. The tendency at present is to make a work of art one continuous mood and excellence, not a series of umaghificent | scenes, more or less weakly joined to- gether, as in a novel of Scott's. “thing in any art is composition, that is, ‘bond! Pages and emotional re- | 3 This relation, in jall In the last analysis, the most significant os the: author and his’ subject. This “#a#t flash, which predeterminates the composi- tiorf, is the thing which must? be pre- setved. The material ‘for a literary prox duction is fiever new, it. is the pattern and concept which makes the originality of a work. Yet this what some of the professors of English would like to stereotype. Yet in defiance of law and order, it is a surprising and illuminating fact that the greatest writers often have a very confusing and'irregular tecliniqve. Take for example, the involved method — of presentation used in Joseph Conrad. It seems weak. and indefensible, but the retreat of. personality behirfd personality story. Anna Karenina has been called messy, The hero of Merrimee’s Car- men is only spoken of twice in the course of the entire novel, and The Nig- ger of the Narcissus, By. which Conrad wished to stand or fall, hasn’t a woman in it. And so on, one may find example after example where the greatest recog- nized productions of genius fail to measure up to the standards set for aspiring college students. Art, then, should be left to itself, For it iswas more a kind of life of the spirit, than a series of stunts or a succession cf achievements. If one should look for instance at the Millet water-colors in the Boston Art Museum, in a natural and human way, one would not think of their faults and weaknesses, but of what a niceykind of life they represented, In literature also, one should look at every new creation as the record of a life story. For the true artist, like Beeth oven, outwardly unattractive and un- successful, carries all life within him. JUNIOR MONTH . CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 at one of the district offices of the Chirty Organization Society, where they were introduced to the job of. a social case worker, Not Lady .Bountiful. At any rate, the experience of Junior Month wiped away the cobwebs of our childish prejudices, ‘and polished up the handles of our text book, education. Lady Bountiful, pouring out pennies, so that a poor family may have turkey for Thanksgiving, has ceased to be my sym- bolic figure of Charity; a broken-nosed thug is no longer my concept of a crim- inal; and I do not think of a tenemen: now as a place where human beings live in too close contact with garbage. ! had armed myself for Junior Month with social theories characteristic of sanguine youth. Criminals could. all be to their families; universal vaccination, and the consumption of the proper num- ber of calories by every member of. so- ciety would settle the health problem; and all little, boys alike could be saved from reformatories by recreation centres. But life isn’t like that. And, somehow, after | had conducted a grubby but cheer- ful boy through the-:mazes of a crowded clinic, and after I had discovered canary birds.and a police dog on the top floor of a tenement, | realized that my. theories needed revision. The greatest lesson that I learned from Junior Month was that people, however. fit for the social struggle, are individuals. No two persons have had the same physi- cal, mental,. emotional and financial equip- ment, and so cannot be expected to fit into the pattern of society in the same way. However, it is not just the ob- vious differences that matter, but sus- ceptibility to disease, the ability to do steady work, and the emotional balance of the individual. The business of the social worker is to perceive these char- acteristics, and to help people to find their places in a normal life. : ‘ Charity Is Not Giving. One great truth that Junior Month brought home to me was that charity. does , not ‘necessarily involve giving money; that it is actually more help to a family to show how to adjust themselves. For example, if Mrs. N.’s husband had deserted her, leavirig her*with—several- natural impulse would be to help by pay- ing the bills first. But the constructive step would be to show Mrs. N., how to apply to the Family Court. to) get her husband to support her, to show her clinics and .vacati ss where the children’s health might be bu‘lt up, and perhaps to get her a position so that she ee aa ba was necessary to his conception of aj psycho-analyzed, I thought, and sent back |- poor, however, criminal, or however, not |. sickly children, and unpaid bills, one’s | — might be partially sdlf-supporting.

The trip to Randall’s Island, the New York City Home for the Feeble-Minded, was far from cheering. The House of Refuge was less so; here we saw the old- fashioned system at work, with iron cells, high walls, and strict military. dis- cipline.

The business-like side of the C. O. S., how- ever, is confined to its proper sphere and does not enter into the relation of the -case worker with the family she is help- ing. An admirable balance seems to be. constantly maintained between the large scale methods of modern organization, and the humanizing individualizing meth- ods of advanced social treatment. Although Junior Month was _ pre- eminently concerned with social work as a career, its scope extended into the field of medicine, psychology, economics, or politics—in short any subject which in- volves the life of the community.
