THE COLLEGE NEWS
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.

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,

Street Settlement.

DR. GEORGE KIRCHWEY, SPEAKS
