. Facing the Issue

Harvard has a Liberal Club supported by
members of the faculty, alumni and under-
graduates. Its aim is to arouse the uni-
versity men to an intelligent. interest. in
social problems from a non-partisan point
of view. With such an opportunity no
Harvard student can plead indifference
which is*little else than ignorance—to cur-
rent topics. Whether the club produces
liberals or conservatives is of small im-
portance, Intelligent scrutiny in a scien-
tific manner is its goal.

Bryn Mawr should have some. such or-
~ ganization that would tear off the deceptive
cloak of strong opinion hiding traditional
views and offer in return information
‘scientifically gained. If we are too Highly
organized, as some think, an existing club
might be utilized, the proposed branch
of the Non-Partisan League of Women
Voters, or better still, the Debating Club
might give way-to a forum for the ex-
change of opinions, avoiding the series of
forced questions raised by members of th
old Discussion Club to start an case

at a formal meeting. .. ae

it is flu, one year ‘measles, but this year
there is something new. Thé victims are

in their possession and having no’ further

BISHOP DU MOULIN SHOWS THAT

SPIRITVAL 1S HIGHEST IDEAL



America to Bear Burden of Transition

“There are three stages in the ideals of
men,” said Bishop Du Moulin, . of . Ohio,
opening his chapel address last Sunday
evening. “The child’s hero is a physical
one. Youth admires intellectual genius,
while advanced age turns to the higher level
of spirit.” They were physical miracles by
| which Christ first drew men’s admiration ;
his sermons and parables were intellectual ;
but his great transforming influence on hie

disciples was spiritual.

“T believe that those three words sive’
the world’s history,” Bishop’ Du Moulin
added — further. “That history has now

reached the transition period from intel-|

lectual to spiritual supremacy, and as the
strategic and pivotal nation at this time,
America must bear the burden of making
the transition, complete. The question of
whether the world will revert instead to
materialistic self-indulgence rests with

| American young man and womanhood.

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ALUMNAE
ASSOCIATION, JANUARY 29TH

The Alumnae Association of Bryn Mawr

College will hold-its annual meeting in the.

morning and afternoon of Saturday, Jan-
uary- 29th, in Taylor Hall.

According .to the tentative prograin
drawn up by the executive board, a dinner
will be given by the executive board of
the association to the presidents, collectors

and editors of the. various classes in the
College Inn on Friday evening. Question |~
of -class collections and news for the bul-
letin will be brought up. An entertain-

ment to be giver bythe alumnae-is‘planned,

for Saturday evening.
Recommending” that a council be formed
for the | purpose of keeping - all alumnae in

touch with collegé matters, .the Special
‘Committee on Reorganization -will hold a

meeting on Saturday. If the recommenda-

tion: is accepted, the council will hold its}

first: meeting in the alumnae rooms on

this office is just. beginning its




already formed, and the feeling of
faculty and’ student bodies concerning
Zocial movements. Of these the Harvard
‘Liberal Club, founded in 1919, was the
most active, having fortnightly dinners ad-

the faculty presiding. In Jyne ‘they will
hold an intercollegiate conference - with
representative attendance. Princeton has the
faculty’s consent for an organization, but
student interest is insufficient. The con-
servative faculties of the. New York City
College and of Columbia contrast with the
remarkably radical students:-in these uni-
versities was a point brought out in the
discussion. Radcliffe, Vassar, Wellesley,
and Smith colleges each have organizations
similar to the Harvard Liberal Club.

Discussion from the floor was held to
recommend plans for reorganization to the
executive committee, which is always, at
least, 50 per cent. students.

Miss Boone, instructor in Social Econ-
omy and Social Research, spoke for Bryn
Mawr. Students attending the conference
were: E. Cope, M. Dunn, M. Morton, D.
Meserve, £. . ee and A, Frazer.

What Is Vacuum?

ETL RES AN PLT SE EE A LPL EEG LE ER LENS EIT LO EET EL A OE EE PAROS IS SE TOE OS Ftv

F THE traffic policeman did not’ hold up his hand and control the
automobiles and wagons and people there would be collisions,
confusion, and.but little Se in any direction. His business

is to direct.

The physicist who tries to obtain a vacuum that is nearly perfect
has a problem somewhat like that of the: traffic policeman. Air is

‘composed of molecules—billions and billions of them flying about

in all directions and often colliding. The physicist’s pump p is designed

—to-make-the molecules travel in one direction—out through the

exhaust. The molecules are much too small to be seen even with a

‘ microscope, but the pump jogs them along and at least : starts them in -

the right direction.

A perfect, vacuum would be one in. hwhich there is not a single free
molecule. »

For over forty years iiantiete have been trying to pump and jog —
and herd more molecules out of vessels. There are still in the best
vacuum obtainable more molecules per cubic centimeter than. there -
are people in the world, in other words, about two billion. Whenever
a new jogging device is invented, it becomes possible to eject a few

‘million more molecules.

The Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company have

. spent years in trying to drive more and mor¢ molecules of air from

containers. The chief purpose has been to study the efects obtained,

" as, for example, the boiling away of metals in a vacuum.

This investigation of high vacua had tinexpected results. -It

. became possible to make better X.- ray tubes — better because the

X - rays could be controlled; to make the electron tubes now so essen-
tial in long-range wireless communication more efficient and trust-
worthy; and to develop an entirely new type of incandescent lamp,
one which is filled with a gas ‘and which ives more ae than _ of
the older lamps. .

No one. can foretell what will be the outcome of research i in pure

science. New knowledge, new ideas inevitably are gained. And
sooner or later this new knowledge, these new ideas find a. practical |

‘application. For this reason the primary purpose of the Research
_ Laboratories ‘of the General Electric ie Company | is the broadening of =

| bumian knowledge. : . k

in a girl’s school at Atauloma, eighteen

miles from the, naval station at Pago-Pago.:

In describing ‘it Miss Begg spoke ‘of the
great tropical beauty of the vegetation and
the delightful character of the natives—
“the gentlemen of the Pacific.” The islands
are Christian and have their own Samoan
pastors,
schools, from which girls are admitted by
a competitive examination ‘to .the school
at Atauloma. 6

At the school where Miss Begg was one
of the only two white women, there were
120 native girls, from 8 to 20 years old.
The object of the school was to make the
girls into.-better: Samoan women, and to
raise their standards of living. Besides
the school a clinic was held every morning.
té which people from all about the country
came> Throughout the speech Miss Begg
told her amusing experiences and adven-
tures in her work among the people.

Tells.of New York Work in Chapel
Studying in a school of social work in
New York for the last two years, Miss

Begg, who left’ Samoa because her health |
“-°Paired;~ has’ Worked” witht Suu” delinquent

girls whom she told of in chapel last
Thursday morning.

“These girls. ought:not to be put in re-
| formatories where they will bé with similar

girls, . What. they need -is to -be putin
boarding homes where they will be with
normal__people—and_learn how. to —act—like
them, These girls have never had a fair
chance. Many of them are driven from
theirhomes._crowded__with— dirty, —crying
children, on to the street to find what
pleasures they can. What they need is
people like you to be with them to teach
them ‘how to act.”

Miss Begg assists the probation officer
of the Woman’s Night Court for field work.

ALUMNA WRITES OF NEW ZEALAND

In connection with the few remarks that
Miss Begg made concerning her own coun-
try, New Zealand, the following extract
froma letter from Esther White Rigg, 06,
to the World Citizenship Committee, are
of interest: ‘New Zealand is, -of course, a
British colony like all the other colonies,
with this distinction, that they have had

woman suffrage for nearly thirty years,|

and have-more advanced social legislature
in some respeets than any other country in
the world, with the exception of, Australia,
and. for the time being, Bolshevik Russia.
There was mission work among the Maoris
at One time, but they now have their own
missions and schools and representatives in
parliament; and a few years ago one was
even prime minister of New Zealand,”
