Summer Camp To Hold Xmas Party On Monday, December 138, the members of the Bryn Mawr League Camp for underprivileged children will hold a reunion in the Common Room of Goodhart, where Bryn Mawr girls who served as counsellors last summer will play host to their former charges. As the guests range from four’ to eight years of age, the party will have Santa Claus as guest of hon- or and main attraction for the afternoon, The children who attended the camp at Stone Harbor last sum- mer are to be brought to Bryn Mawr from their homes in Phila- delphia and will receive royal wel- come from Phoebe Stevens, Edith Rhoads, and the group who ran - the camp under their leadership. Two Bryn Mawr maids are also looking forward to seeing them again, Anna from. Merion, and Minnie from Pembroke West. These two have been on the staff of the summexz camp for 9 and 12 years respectively, and the chil- dren who return to camp in suc- cessive years always remember them. To entertain the young guests, songs and games remembered from camp are planned. Santa Claus and refreshments will make the afternoon complete. Another annual League activity, the maids’ and porters’ dance, will not be held as is customary be- fore Christmas. Although defin- ite plans have not been made, the danee has been scheduled for sometime in February. Great “International Celebrities” Welcome New American Citizen at German House By Susan Oulahan, 46 The ominous presence of the reasonable facsimiles of an Amer- ican Indian and the Statue of Lib- erty in German House last Thurs- day night made us uncomfortably aware that something was up. It seems that the venerable corner of Denbigh Hall had assumed no less a proportion than the White House dining room where Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt (with apolo- gies to Mary Sue Chadwick and Margaret Spencer) ®were lavishly entertaining Miss Hilde Cohn and Miss Caroline Damerau. The occasion was the celebration of Miss Cohn’s final step in be- coming an American citizen and we who have less vivid imagina-| tions can only wonder admiring-}- ly at the extensive scope of the German house party. Mr. Roose- velt took advantage of this golden opportunity to make one of his better speeches on the privileges of the American citizen. Chewing gum and the _elevateds, he be- lieves, are practically synonymous with these privileges. Mrs, R., bedecked appropriate- ly enough in an Eleanor Blue gown, showered many _ well-des- erved honors on Miss Damerau for her part in insuring a “whole- some home front,’ whatever that might be. The gesture, however, was nice. Miss Damerau, who perceived conditions at Bryn Mawr and thoughtfully came all the way from Minnesota to tackle them, was awarded the Neptune Trident and the Iron Cross for more or less obscure reasons. Par- ticularly exciting was the institu- tion of the Eleanora Award so that Miss Damerau might contin- ue her noble work on slums, viz. the German House bathroom, by living in them and learning first hand how best to clear them. Looking about us, we were par- ticularly impressed by the rotund proportions of a large (elephant in the window, which made us re- alize that both, political parties were being well represented. How- ever, the undeniable pinkness of the creature made us fear we were perhaps enjoying ourselves too much. : Present at this auspicious gath- ering were the German House versions of nearly everyone whose name we have frequently seen in the press. Queen Whilhemina, known here as Analise Thiemann, arrived in a most luxurious black and ermine court gown with a di- adem of oranges, stolen from that morning’s breakfast, shining above her blonde hair.

The application of elementary mathe- matics to map-making was the subject of Miss Marguerite Lehr’s talk to the Science Club as the first of six lectures on the position of the sciences in the,war. She dis- cussed the various types of maps” cluding the mercator, gnomic maps and maps based on aerial photo- graphs. Describing the way in which mapping is done, Miss Lehr said that as a general practice in map- making, a theory is first formulat- ed by putting together extremely elementary ideas of mathematics and then the theory is turned into a routine that can be used easily. The classical theory of mapping is used today in modern application. In large scale maps airplane pho- tographs are used, and most re- cently, radio bearings. “The sheer fact of geography will influence the kind of map that cartographers will make for their Continued on Page 5 which are used during wartime, in- | a.
