1921 LEADS BY LARGE SCORE
SAIN FIRST SWIMMINGJMEET

Juniors Break Two Records *3%

Breaking two records and winning four
first and five second places, 1921 piled
up a score of 56 points in the preliminary
swimming meet last Friday night, against
1920’s 17% and 1922’s 15%. K. Wood-
ward, Junior captain, was a half point
lead over K. Townsend, ’20, in the race
for the individual championship.

Interest centered in the outcome of the
struggle between K. Townsend, ’20, and
K. Woodward, ’21. Miss Townsend, who
has broken both the front swim records
annually since Freshman year, equalled
her 13 1-5 sec. record for the 68 ft. front
swim, while Miss Woodward cut down
Miss Townsend’s 32 1-5 sec. record by
4-5 sec. (in the double length front), and
was only 1-5 sec. behind in the single
length front.

The red relay team clipped 4 4-5 sec.
from the 67 sec. record established last
year by 1920, by doing the four lengths
in 62 1-5 sec.

THOUSANDS GATHER FOR THE
DES MOINES CONFERENCE

Robert E. Speer, Sherwood Eddy and
John R. Mott Among the Speaker

Bryn Mawr Sent. Eight Delegates to
Largest Conference Ever Held

Over 7000 students from 40 different
countries, representing 1000 colleges, at-
tended the Student Volunteer Confer-
ence held at Des Moines, Iowa, from De-
cember 31 to January 4. Bryn Mawr
sent a delegation of eight led by Marga-
ret Speer, ’22, The other delegates were
Dean Smith, M. Carey, ’20, C. Bickley,
21, E. Cope, ’21, M. Rawson, ’22, Fung
Kei Liu, ’22, and Gwei Hsin Wang, grad-
uate student,

John R. Mott, Robert E. Speer, Sher-
wood Eddy, Dr. Mackenzie, of the Hart-
ford Theological Seminary; Dean
Charles Brown, of the Yale School of Re-
ligion, and many foreign workers, includ-
ing Dr. Kanamori, from Japan, were
among the most prominent speakers, Mr.
Lawrence led the singing of the 7000
men and women who gathered in the
huge auditorium for meetings morning
and evening. Dean Smith said, describ-
ing the Conference, in chapel last Thurs-
day morning, “it seemed as if the win-
dows of all the world had been flung
open and we could gaze out not only on
our own town or city or country, but
on every town, city or country in the
world. The crying need for skill of all
kinds in many forgotten corners of the
world was brought home to us very sim-
ply by foreign students of different na-
tionalities. One by one, African, Chi-
nese, Mexican, Japanese, East Indian,
they stepped forward on the platform and
told us of conditions in their own coun-
tries, adding earnestly at the end of al-
most every short statement, ‘Come, come
and help us!’”

Missionaries Are Practical Statesmen

“Missionaries as we used to picture
them to ourselves some years ago, no
longer exist,” said Dean Smith. “The
typical cartoons of the pious individual
forcing his doctrine on the unwilling
heathen is gone. Missionaries are to be
considered in the light of practical states-
men, molding on international morality.”
The fact that Social Service cannot ex-
ist without Christianity was emphasized
at the conference, according to Dean
Smith. One African chief on hearing
about Christ asked: “Why didn’t you tell
us sooner; why didn’t you let us know?”
“The big fact of the conference was the
need of putting Christ in our own lives
first,” concluded Dean Smith.
Cablegrams From All Over the World

At the closing meeting of the confer-
ence Dr. Mott read cablegrams from
Egypt, Sweden, Japan, China, Argentina,
Mexico and one from New Russia ask-
ing for evangelization. $44,000 yearly was
pledged at one meeting as the result of
an appeal made by Dr. Mott for running
expenses of the Student Volunteer Move-
ment. The Student Volunteer Movement
was started in 1886 for the purpose of
getting volunteers for foreign mission
fields. Since then it has sent out about
eight thousand workers.

An exhibition of posters, maps, charts
and photographs showing the work and
needs of the various countries was held
during the conference. The Bryn Mawr
delegates are planning to secure as many
of these as possible and exhibit them in
the C, A, Library next week.

Lois Kellog Elected May Queen



Mrs. Skinner General Director. Mr. King
to Coach. Casts Chosen After Midyear
Lois Kellogg, ’20, was elected May

Queen at the close of a spirited session

in the mass meeting of graduates and

undergraduates last night. Five ballots
were cast before a deciding vote was
reached, Elizabeth Vincent, ’23, running

a close second. Miss Kellogg, who is

chairman of the May Day Committee,

took prominent parts in the Varsity Dra-
matics productions of the last two years.

The announcement that Mrs. Otis
Skinner has definitely consented to act
as General Director of May Day, and that
Mr. King, who returned recently from
England, will undertake the larger part of
the coaching, opened Miss Kellogg’s com-
mittee report. The costuming will be
directly under Mrs. Skinner, who will
be assisted by an alumnae business man-
ager, to be appointed later.

Mr. King Reads Plays

Scenes from “Robin Hood,” “The Old
Wives’ Tale,” and the “St. George Play,”
cited by Miss Kellogg as the three plays
to be repeated from the last May Day,
were read by Mr. King at the close of
the meeting, with indications as to the
requirements for the principal parts. It
was voted unanimously to repeat the
scenes from “The Midsummer Night’s
Dream.” A fifth play, not yet chosen,
will be given. The masques, chosen ten-
tatively, are Ben Pohnson’s “Hue and
Cry After Cupid” and the “Masque of
Flowers,” neither of which were present-
ed in 1914.

Neither Mrs. Skinner nor Mr. King
will assist in the casting, which will be-
gin immediately after Midyears under
the direction of the central and casting
committees. The lines and business of
the plays must be learned by the first
of March, when intensive rehearsals will
begin. Copies of the plays have been
placed in the reserve book-room, and, are
to be found in most of the hall libra-
ries.

A motion was carried in favor of giv-
ing two performances of May Day. The
choice of dates has been postponed pend-
ing the plotting of weather-graphs by
the geological and statistical depart-

ments.

TREATY REFERENDUM AT BRYN
MAWR DRAWS CROWD TO POLLS



Votes Closely Divided Between Com-
promise and No-Reservations



Vigorous Campaign of Discussion
Rouses College to the Issue
Final retufns from the intercollegiate
referendum on the Peace Treaty polled
at Bryn Mawr yesterday, showed an
overwhelming sentiment for ratification

of the League and Treaty, but with votes °

approximately evenly divided between
unconditional ratification, (Prop. I.) and
a compromise based on the Lodge and
Democratic reservations (Prop. IV.)

This close division of opinion is in con-
trast to the genial intercollegiate senti-
ment throughout the country, The earli-
est returns, (at the time that the News
went to press) flashed from the 700 uni-
versities of the nation to the central
office in New York, indicated a strong
vote for a compromise on the reserva-
tions,

The polls at Bryn Mawr were open
yesterday from 9.00 a. m., to 3.00 p. m.,
at the voting-booth erected for the
purpose in Taylor Hall. Voting was
particularly heavy between class hours,
when faculty and students thronged the
polls, and members of the College News
board, in charge jof the referendum,
were kept busy tabulating the results,
which were wired to New York at 3.30
p. m., when the final count was com-
plete. Special photographers were call-
ed from town during the morning to
snap pictures of the college community
“deciding the fate of the Treaty.”

Ballot Embodies Four Alternatives

Registered at the polls were 83 per
ent of the faculty and staff, or 65 out of a
total enrollment of 78, and 87 per cent.
of the students, or 394 out of 450. Tab-
ulated results of the vote show that,
(1.), 25 of the faculty and 173 students
were for the Treaty without reserva-
tions; (2.) no faculty and 31 students
were opposed to the treaty in any form;
(3.) six of the faculty and fourteen stu-
dents were for the Lodge reservations;
and (4.) 36 of the faculty and 176 stu-
dents for a compromise between the
Lodge and Democratic reservations.

Crowd Morning Chapel to Prepare for
Vote

To stimulate a thorough advance dis-
cussion of the Treaty situation, a ser-
ies of chapel talks was arranged for
during the two weeks preceding the
vote. Dr. Fenwick outlined the general
background of the situation, and Dr.
Gray discussed criticisms that have been
raised against the League of Nations.

Mass-Meeting Overflows Taylor

To an audience crowding the chapel
to its capacity, 400 strong, and stirred
to patriotic excitement by the singing
which had gone before, Acting-President
Taft outlined the four propositions to
be voted on, in her opening speech as
chairman of the rally last Tuesday.

Calling college women to meet the
challenge which the Treaty referendum
offered to show themselves as fit voters,
Dr. Derry, as the first speaker on the
program, warmed to the “electric atmos-
phere” of the mass-meeting, and demand-
ed a compromise on the Treaty for
speedy ratification.

Muriel Barker, graduate student from
England, with a more serious appeal,
reminded Americans that Europe had
renounced European principles of so-
vereignty for .the sake of President
Wilson’s League.

The Referendum

The national movement for taking col-
lege sentiment on the Peace Treaty has
roused Bryn Mawr from the torpor of
Mid-Years, and Proved to all sceptics
that college students can take a live in-
terest in outside affairs. The first re-
turns from the country-wide vote pre-
dict that the eight hundred institutions
will swing overwhelmingly for ratifica-
tion of the Treaty, with a strong majority
for a compromise.

Bryn Mawr sentiment was recorded as
evenly split between this compromise and
unconditional ratification. Even after
discounting the fact that this divided vote
may have been due to a possible misin-
terpretation of the four propositions, it
is not a misplaced trust that serious
thought was back of each vote cast, and
that division of opinion proves depth of
consideration,

“Too comfortable fo be intelligent”—
the words a near corollary to a state-
ment by Ordway Tread to the Discussion
Club Monday, are a challenge.

The question was the abolition of pro-
fit and debate turned to the capitalists’
arguments; “how do you meet the ob-
jections?” asked the student. “You are
too well off to understand the need for
reconstruction,” replied the speaker,

Was he right? Must the magnate’s
daughter inevitably take up the losing
battle of private wealth while the tem-
peramental radical necessarily contracts
the prevailing form of radicalism? No,
we will be radical or conservative if we
choose, but as a group, we must be liber-
al.

We are free. No cajoling nor threat-
ening the “future leaders” can force a
stampede to any program we will be in-
tense and loyal but no one should pre-
Suppose our support. No one can win
us by shouting “democracy” and “ser-
vice.” We must keep our eyes clear of









‘the mists of tradition and the too blind-

ing light of the coming years. Reser-
vation of, allegiance is not necessarily
conservatism. An open mind—not an
empty mind—is our highest right. We

_know that we shall have to fight for the
“much

talked “leadership;” you must
know that “you’ve got to show us.”

The Passing of the Table Cloth

Pointing out that the high cost of
living had driven away all the prettiness
of the dining table, crisp white table
cloth, bright flowers, gleaming glass, and
trim maid servants, a writer in a recent
number of the English “Spectator” urged
that for it be substituted genial conversa-
tion and an effort to create pleasing
atmosphere.

At Bryn Mawr, it is not the high cost

‘of living that makes the dining room a

barren place. A long college table with
its plainly set places can never satisfy
any aesthetic longing. To counteract

‘its depressing influence extra effort on
the part of the diners is necessary. In-
‘stead, woes are poured forth incessantly.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPORTING
OFFENDERS CHALLENGED



Discussion

A heated discussion of the question of
abolishing the rule that every member of
the Association is responsible for report-
ing offenders was the feature of the
monthly meeting of the Self Government
Association Tuesday evening,

M. Hawkins, ’20, maintained that no
one kept the rule and that it was a dead
letter, while M. Dent, ’20, felt that the
difficulty of reporting one’s friends was
too great to justify it, Supporters of
the rule thought that the executive board
would involve into a police force if every
member did not co-operate and urged
that the spirit, not the rule, be changed.
The question was laid on the table until
the February meeting,

It was also decided that names of of-
fenders shall be read in the monthly
meetings. The majority of the Associa-
tion felt that if the names were read
there would be less gossip and the rep-
rimand might be taken more seriously,

Among the other decisions are:

Athletic costumes will be allowed in

Dalton and the Psychological Laboratory
in the library. Men may escort a student
out to Bryn Mawr on the 9.45.
_ The president said that there had been
some confusion in regard to walking off
the campus after dark with a man. There
is no rule against this and the Associa-
tion decided that none was needed.

America Faces Crisis in Education



Specially Contributed by Eliot Wadsworth
Chairman, Harvard Endowment Fund
It becomes more evident every day

that the plight of the college professor
is not confined to any one college or
group of colleges. The profession of
teaching in colleges is threatened all
over America.

The reasons given are always the
same: First, the existing staff is suffer-
ing from the high cost of living; the col-
lege is unable to give a square deal
and a living wage to the men without
whom no college can exist. Second,
the recruiting of teachers has become
almost impossible.

Call of Commercial Life Too Strong

Men of upusual intellectual attain-
ments, who would be selected by col-
lege faculties to carry on the work of
teaching, cannot see the possibility of
self-support in the meager salary of $100
a month which is offered as a beginning
Even if they are inclined to try; and
anxious to follow the profession of
teaching, the call of commercial life.
with its promise of financial reward,
greater at the beginning and limited in
the future only by their own abilities, is
a strong one.

In every college the men who were
already absorbed in the profession of
teaching and whose associations and
friendships are well established are car-
rying on as best they may. The discour-
agement of trying to keep up to a high
Standard of education under the con-
stantly increasing handicap of an inade-
quate staff, is almost as hard upon these
older men as their own individual trou-
bles with the rent and the grocer’s
bill.

Colleges of Country are Priceless Plants

The colleges of America are among
her greatest assets. . They have grown
in number and in size as the nation has
srown. The money available today for
carrying on these priceless plants which
belong to us all is insufficient. Like
any public service corporation they
must have enough income to pay ex-
penses and upkeep.

It is not only those who have had the
benefit of a college education who should
feel called upon in this emergency. Thei:
number is less than one per cent. of ow
total population. The other millions
have benefited directly or indirectly from
the work done by our colleges. School
teachers, doctors, lawyers, dentists, min-
isters, trusted public officials, have beer:
able to carry on for the community their
individual work because of what the col.
leges gave them,

Prime Needs of America is fer Trained
Minds

America’s place is unique. We have
everything that we had before the war
and infinitely more. Our industry has
developed in four years beyond any-
thing we could have hoped without the
stimulus of war demands. We have be.
come the main reliance of millions of
people for food and raw material with
which they may make a new start. We
have a heritage from this world catas
trophe which Staggers the imagination.
Whether we do well or ill with it de-
pends on each of us andcon our collec-
tive effort.

Like an army, we must have officers.
It is upon the type of men who are ai-
lowed to lead during the next few years
in education, in commerce, in banking
and in politics, that our future great.
ness will depend. The colleges are ask.
ing for funds which must be considere i
as the best insurance for the future that
the nation can provide.

All told, the amounts asked are not
much more than’the first war fund ask
ed by the American Red Cross—$100,.
000,000. America gave this fund gladly

Today we are faced with anothe:
form of emergency. On meeting thai
emergency depends much of our future
American business success.













Drive Opens in Philadelphia

Dr. James Leuba was among the
speakers at a meeting of the Philadel-
phia branch of the Alumnae Association,
held last Thursday at the Acorn Club.

Dr. Leuba, who spoke on the economic
situation of the college professor, was
followed by Mrs. Francis Slade, National
Chairman of the Endowment Drive, who
described the effort being made for one
hundred per cent. organization before
the Alumnae meeting on January 31,
Mrs. Slade pointed out the importance
of the third campaign zone, Pegnsylvan-
ia and Delaware, as virtually the home
zone of the endowment drive.

Miss Gertrude Ely, chairman of the
Philadelphia Committee, announced the
appointment of local committees and the
opening of Philadelphia headquarters at
the College Club.

SOCIAL SETTLEMENT WORK IS
DESCRIBED BY MRs. WHITE



Not for Poor, but for Under Dog

“Settlement houses are for rich and
poor alike; they do more at present for
the poor man because he is the under
dog,” said Mrs, Eva Whiting White, head
worker of the New York College Set-
tlement, who spoke last Thursday eye-
ning on “Community Service,” in the
course on Social Problems,

“The settlement house aims,” said Mrs,
White, “to bring about an understanding
between people with different back-_
grounds. It is an intensive proposition,
trying to know a few people well. Each
house is responsible for only a certain
area of the city.”

Two-fifths of the settlement work, ae-
cording to Mrs, White, is carried on
within the four walls of the settlement
house, and three-fifths outside. Within
the walls are activities like discussion
clubs, and work with children, which
soon swing into larger activities in con-
nection with school work and legisla-
tion.

a
Maeterlinck Lecture Cancelled

Luck was against the Philadelphia En-
dowment Committee last Monday, when
M. Maurice Maeterlinck failed to appear
for the lecture scheduled under their aus-
pices at the Academy of Music.

After a weekend uncertainty increased
by the mysterious disappearance of the
Poet between New York and Washing-
ton, Miss Gertrude Ely, chairman of the
local committee, received Monday a
wire expressing M, Maeterlinck’s regret
that “through no fault of his own” he
would not be allowed to speak that night
in Philadelphia.

A falling out between the poet and his
booking agency over M. Maeterlinck’s
“Phonetic English” is blamed for his fail-
ure to appear in Philadelphia, At any
Tate, to quote one newspaper, ‘“Phila-
delphia was not a port in the poet’s ‘Un-
known Shore.’”

THE COLLEGE NEWS



A FORTNIGHT WITH PRESIDENT
THOMAS IN MOROCCO

Described By Alys Russell, 90, in
Letter to the News

PART ONE
THROUGH SPAIN TO FEZ

Our way to Morocco lay through Spain,
and, appropriately enough for a_ student
of President Thomas’s first year of Gen-
eral English lectures in 1885, began at
the Pass of Roncesvalles, where Roland
kept the Spaniards at bay, while Charle-
magne’s troops retreated down the French
slopes. After Roncesvalles, with equal
appropriateness, we followed the career of
the Cid, from his town of Burgos in Old
Castille, to the remote monastery of San
Pedro de Cardena, where he and Chimene
lie buried. We did not, however, quote
to each other their passionate love speeches
from Corneille’s Cid, as Napoleon’s officers
are reported to have done, with tears in
their eyes, during their wanton destruc-
tion in 1808 of the Cid’s own town. Alto-
gether, we had a perfect motoring tour of
50 days in Spain, and though we felt that
no other country cotild ever be so beauti-
ful, nor so full of enchanting towns and
wonderful cathedrals, we remembered that
our goal was Fez, in that remote and mys-
terious land described by Pierre Loti as
“Au Moroc.”

Found Motor to Fez With Difficulty

We knew that it might be dangerous, if
not impossible, to ‘pass through the Span-
ish Zone of Morocco, where the Spaniards
were fighting a serious rising of rebel!
tribes; that the railways were unfinished
and the hotels bad, and that we shou!d
not have a private car nor the protection
and hospitality of the’ French Governor,
General Lyautcy,dike Mrs. Edith Wharton
last year in her trip, so intérestingly des-
scribed in the July, August and September
numbers of Scribner’s. But nevertheless,
we set sail from Gibraltar to Tangier,
and there found we could get round the
western coast to Casablanca by boat, and
approach Fez from the south, missing the
bad roads and the fighting in the Spanish
Zone to the north. At Casablanca, we found
with difficulty a motor car ample enough
to take us, our Moorish guide (dressed in
a beautiful embroidered robe of prickly-
pear blosom pink with the red fez worm
by bachelors), our seven suit cases and rugs.
coffee machine, condensed milk, jam, bot-
tle water, rubber tubs, etc., etc. on our
three days journey to Fez.

Visit Moorish College

We arrived first at Rabat, a port fifty
miles north of Casablanca, and one of the
four make-zenia, or government towns,
where the present Sultan lives, and Gen-
eral Lyautey has his headquarters. But
we were only interested in the old town
with its walls, terraces and minarets, perch-
ed on a cliff hanging over the Atlantic, and
sloping down to the Bou-Rigrig river, and
we visited first of all, the Moorish Me-
dirsa or college. It was just inside the
gate of the immense old Kabash (citadel)







and was characteristic of the Mohamme-
dan colleges everywhere as also of Moorish |
domestic architecture. It was an exquisite- |
ly ‘beautiful building, with long narrow |
prayer and study rooms opening by carved |
ceder doors on to an arcaded, perfectly
proportioned courtyard, with a delicious.
tile fountain in the middle. Up the
narrow stairs were long corridors, from
which opened small bedrooms, with tinv
latticed windows on the courtyard, each
room furnished with two mattresses, and a
shelf for cooking materials. Cooking, we
are told, was lone in the corridors, washing
in the fountain. Each student receives
free lodging and a loaf of bread a day
from the Sultan, having to beg the rest of

his food. In addition to free lodging and
bread, free instruction is given at the
mosques, principally in the Koran and
in grammar and_ rhetoric, while for
mathematics and_ science, astrology, al-

chemy, and divination are substituted, and
history and geography omitted alto
gether. We were not allowed to entér tne
taosques, but drove across the river to
pictureseme Sale, the little old pirate town

are

where Robinson Crusoe was a prisoner, and
we saw at sunset the famous tower of
Hassan, built in 1173 and one of the three
most beautiful Moorish towns still stand-
ing. The next day we took the inland
road to Meknez, with its famous ruined
pleasure city of Moulay Ismail, the Sultan
who was contemporary of Louis XIV, and
exchanged magnificent presents with him,
while-he employed an army of Christian
captives on his great palaces, simply build-
ing into the walls any who dropped at
their work. In the original old town, we
found another beautiful Medrisa, but in
the new French one, only a horrible little
hotel where we had to sleep.

Picnic on Columns of Volubilis

Early the next morning, we crossed the
fierce, burning plateau with its flights of
white cranes, and climbed up to the Zer-
houn mountain, where on an almost inac-
cessible peak is hidden away the sacred
town of Moulay Idriss. It contains the
tomb of Mohammed’s grandson, Moulay
Idriss, the founder of the Idrissides, and
the most venerated saint of all Morocco,
and no Christian had ever been allowed
inside its walls till a few years ago and
still none may sleep in the town.



But we entered quite simply, and were
warmly welcomed by a native in the blue
cloak of the French police, who rushed up
to shake our hands, and to offer his ser-
vices as a guide. We were allowed
also to peep into the mosque, where many
pilgrims were saying their Friday prayers,
and we even saw through a crack the wo-
men worshipping in the gallery, where they
veiled, Our enthusiastic guide incited us
may come only on Fridays and heavily
to climb higher and higher in the town,
to the mosque of Moulay’s barber and
heeded not the midday sun, nor the uneven
and unpaved paths, rather than streets,
that threaded the town. We elt really in-
dignant that after 1100 years the streets
should still be so rough and impassable. Our
picnic lunch was eaten sitting on the col-
umms of neighboring Velubilis, the ruins of
the old capital of the Roman Mauretania
Tingitana, but we could not linger long
as we had to reach Fez before dark, on ac-
count of bandits. So we raced back along
our mountain road, till we reached the
main highway, and then hurried on by
sunset and moonrise through the savagely
beautiful country which Loti calls “tor-
tured.” until we drove by moon light under
the vast and monumental walls of Fez.

DISCUSSION CLUB CRITICISMS
AMAZE SPEAKER



Mr. Tead Talks on Present Tendencies In
Industry.

Astonishment, because members of the
Discussion Club questioned the system
for industrial reorganization that he
described, was expressed by Mr. Ord-
way Tead, of the New School of Social
Research, New York, who addressed
the Club Monday evening on “Present
Tendencies in Industrial Reorganiza-
tion.”

“T cannot understand, said Mr. Tead,
“how you girls can sit back in comfort
and support the present wretched sys-
tem.” Dr. Leuba emphasized Mr. Tead’s
suggestion that the lack of sympathy
was because college students knew so
little of the world outside. Immediate
protest followed from members of the
Club that their objections to the system
described by Mr. Tead did not mean
support of the present system, but inter-
est in finding a better one.

The organization of National Indus-
trial Councils, like the Whitly Councils
in England is the best step for the
United States to take next, according
to Mr. Tead. One industry, under this
plan, meets to discuss its problems in
a conference, at which is represented
both directors and workers. Under this
board is a hierarchy of managers and
workers in the different factories, all
paid salaries, none making profits.

SENIORS PARODY LEWIS CARROLL



Asaat Alice in Wonderland at Reception
to Freshmen

“T came to Bryn Mawr because Mo-
ther thought I would get into the pa
pers more,” said Alice in Wonderland,
who matriculated in the stunt given by
the Seniors at their reception for the
Freshmen Saturday night.

Alice, alias 1923, was presented in the
traditional Lewis Carroll manner by M.
Littell, whose dialogue with the Duch-
ess (A. Rood) was spiced with allusions
to college matters. M. Ballou, as the
C. A. Cheshire cat, delighted the audi-
ence with her sententious comments as
she extricated herself from yards of
red tape. “Father William” was par-
odied in the mad tea party scene, where
L. Kellogg appeared as the doormouse
(1921).

Between acts, Z. Boynton and H. Zins-
ser danced together in a dance of hearts
and clubs.

“Low’n Green,” an opera in which K.
Strauss starred as the heroine and K.
Raht as the hero who returned from
the “infirmaree” in the nick of time was
presented by 1923 E. Rhoads, and M.
Hussey composed the dragon, who was
killed by a draught of infirmary medi-
cine.

?

DR. TWEEDY CHALLENGES COLLEGE
TO ACCEPT GOD OF LOVE

Dr. Henry Hallam Tweedy, of the
Yale School of Divinity, speaking in
chapel last Sunday, challenged his audi-
ence to believe in God as the source of
love.

“Christianity alone furnishes the God
of Love whom one must find everywhere
in the universe,” said Dr. Tweedy. “Athe-
ism is simple, but unproved. Agnosti-
cism is wiser and more scientific, but it
lacks vitality. Positivism, the worship
of man, even of idealized man, does not
kindle the souls of men.”

“When everyone shall be guided by
love as a principle, race hatred, in fact
all that we consider evil, will exist no
more,” concluded Dr. Tweedy.

OVER HALF FAIL GERMAN.

WORST SECOND ORAL ON RECORD

Sixty-six percent failed the second Se-
nior German examination, taken before
Christmas, a larger failure percentage
than is recorded for any previous second
German “oral.” Of the 21 who took the
examination, a smaller number than in
any previous year, 14 failed, 5 passed, and
2 got merit. The grades are as follows:

Merit: D. Clark, M. Gregg.

Passed: H. Buttenwieser, M. Healea,
H. Holmes, M. Scott, 719, K. Townsend.

da, I, Whittier, ’19, B. Zilker.

PRIZE GOES TO D. KLENKE’S DOLL

Dorothy Klenke’s doll took the prize
in the doll-exhibit held in the C. A.
library before Christmas vacation. E.
Mills, ’21, and L. Ward, ’21, took second
place. The exhibit included thirty-seven
dolls, which were sent by the Sewing
Committee to the Sunnyside Day Nur-
sery in Philadelphia.

The Christmas work of the Sewing
Committee also included sending fifteen
packages of Christmas toys to the fami-
lies of the Bryn Mawr Italian workmen,
and 156 stockings to colored children,
Kensington Lighthouse, and _ Spring
Street Settlement.

SUPERINTENDENT OF SING SING,
DR. GEORGE KIRCHWEY, SPEAKS

Inhuman conditions existing in most
prisons and many reformatories were
described by Dr. George Kirchwey, for-
mer superintendent of Sing Sing and ex-
pert in criminology, at the last lecture
of the Social Service Course before
