INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION MEETS AT
BRYN MAWR FOR DISCUSSION



Commission Made of Working Girls and
Students From Four Colleges

The third meeting of the Industrial Com-
mission of college and working girls took |-
place-in Bryn Mawr last Saturday at three-
thirty o’clock, in the Christian Association
library. : ‘

There are eight members in each dele-
gation. The working girls are chosen from
plants in Philadelphia, and the‘college stu-

Bryn Mawr and the University of Penn-
sylvania. The present delegates from Bryn
Mawr are S. McDaniel, ’23, and M. Fairies,
‘24. In the meeting on Saturday, the Com-
mission discussed “What the working girl
can contribute to the céllege student and
vice versa.” They decided that the work-
ing girl can impress the reality of indus-
trial, conditions at first’ hand, .a sense of
responsibility for an education, and the
college student’s duty as a consumer and
citizen to improve working: conditions and
to mold public opinion, The college student
could, they thought, show the value of an

ing up industrial standards.

After the discussion, the delegations ‘had
tea in the Radnor sitting room. This’ is
the first meeting of the Commission at Bryn
Mawr. The next meeting will be in three
weeks, at Swarthmore College.

Winning 6 bouts out of a total of 9, the

The Bryn Mawr team played almost
entirely: on the offensive, pressing their
opponents with. series of strong, quick

taken advantage of by the Pennsylvania
team, which played a defensive, but steady,
game. B. Warburg; ’21, was quick, her
sudden attacks being disconcerting, while
her retreats carried her beyond the reach
of the opposing foil.

Democracy “Flourishes

Bryn Mawr is the, college that boasts
no sorofities :and no secret societies. . In
other words, Bryn Mawr clubs are all dem-
ocratic.: This year a new .organization
revived this spirit in a way they claimed
tobe idealistic. The annual election of
members to the club held last week resulted
in the election of one Fréshman member,
the. only candidate not blackballed. What
could be more democratic than this four-
ishing club?

“The head ‘to plan, the heart
to feel, the hand to execute”

Looking back over’ the. past year the
News board can count more than one step
that has made for progress. Left for the
first time without the invaluable help of
the Faculty member to whom. the board
has always looked for inspiration the year
has been a crucial one. That we have
weathered the crisis successfuly is due to
the vigorous personality and enthusiasm of
the managing editor. With the influence
of her interest behind it, the Corteck News
is starting out on its seventh year.

AGAINST EXTREME DRESS



“In Plays Students Satirize Styles |

Playlets satirizing the prevailing extreme
styles i ‘in,dress, and a fashidn show at which
afternoon and evening dresses were entered
by Undergraduates are features in the cam-
paign for dress reform now being carried
on at Smith College. Under the -impetus
givenwby Dr. Joel E. Goldthwaite, of Bos-1
ton; in lectures to the Sophomore Class, a
few Sophomores, co-operating with Dean
Ada Comstock, opened the .drive against

“vamp” and “flapper” styles.

-Modesty, becomingness, color and line
were taker as a.basis for judging’ the
dresses entered: in the Fashion Show. To
the most satisfactory gown a prize of
$25. -was.-awarded by Dr. Goldthwaite.
There were more than a hundred entries.

“A Million a la Mode,” “Three Inches
from the Floor,” and “Alice through the
Boudoir. Glass,” three of. the skits written
by the Undergraduates; won first, second
and third prizes for the success with which
they emphasized the point of propriety in
dress. “The. goal toward which ‘the dress
reform’ points,” declares the New York
Sun for April 28, “isa mode chic enough
for any critical eye.” Of the jersey uni-
forms now popular at Bryn Mawr,. the
Sun correspondent says: “It has taken
Smith by storm. It appears at any hour
of the: day or night on the campus on
various shades and various colors, skirts
knife-pleated, accordion-pleated and_ plain.
In one house more than half the girls are,
proud possessors of these jersey cloth sport
dresses, and dress competition among the
daughters of Eve is dead for a while‘ at
least.”

MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE OFFERS
PLAN
T@ the Editor of THe CoLLece NkEws:
There was a great deal of feeling last year,
and perhaps there has been more this year,
that C. A. girls were not fulfilling their
purpose. After looking their Freshmen up:
in the fall, taking them to the C. A. recep-
tion and chapel and sending them: flowers
for Freshman Show, the majority of :C. A.

“-girls have considered-their-responsibility—at

an end, withthe result that they have been
of practically no help to the Fréshman.

This year the Membership Committee has
decided to call the people who write to
Freshmen Student Advisors instead of the.
old, rather meaningless name'of C. A. Girls.
With this néw more dignified name, per-
haps the Student Advisors will follow up
their letters by helping the Freshmen all
through the year in the many ways which
are possible, If, for instance, they help the
Freshmen to work ahead and plan their
courses for- the entire four years, they will
be justifying their existence to a greater
extenf than they have in the past.

Perhaps, also, the Freshmen will look
upon their Advisors as sources of help
rather than as the social obligations which
C, A.’Girls seem‘ to have been. ;

In making the Student Advisors really
accomplish their aim, the committee hopes
that it may have the co-operation of the
Christian Association and of the. whole
college.

To Tue CoLiece News:

The History Club has felt for some time
that the present limitations on its mem-
bership excludes many people whose inter-
est would be a great asset to the club and,
therefore, it has decided to open the mem-
bership to all who want to join. The club
plans: to affiliate with the Ifftercollegiate
Liberal League, an organization governed
by students, which has just been formed
to encourage intelligent discussion and to
provide speakers on economic and political
questions. This will not do away with the
former activities of the club, “nor does it
mean that there will be formal debates with
required preparation. It will be the policy-
of the club to welcome all those who are
sincerely - interested, and who will be re-
sponsible for-attending meetings and paying
“such dues as are necessary. Members will
be admitted-only: atthe ‘beginning of each

The business world today offers increas-

the educated woman too often finds that
she is at a disadvantage because she knows
so little of that business lore that young ©
men seem to have absorbed during their
up-growing. Now, however, if she is a~
“college graduate of high academic stand-

Quoting “figures to show "the de¢rease in

about bythe introduction of labor-saving
tools which require few men to ‘operate.
However, harid labor, which is almost .im-

possible to. get, is still required for harvest-
ing, said Dr. Spillman’ A movement has
been instituted’ throughout the country. to
meet this demand by training high school’
boys to work in the summer. Another
factor that discourages. farmers is the
middiemen’s excess profits, which make the
farmer operate practically at a loss. Farm

What Makes the Firefly Glow?

OU can hold a firefly in your hand; you can boil
water with an electriclamp. Nature long ago evolved
the “‘cold light.’”’ The firefly, according to Ives and”

Coblentz, radiates ninety-six percent light and only four
percent heat. Man’s best 7 radiates more than ninety
percent heat.
An English physicist once said that if we einer the fire-
fly’s secret, a boy turning a crank could light up a whole
street. Great as isthe advance in lighting that has been

made through research within the last twen

This problem of the “cold light”’ cannot be solved merely

_ What makes the firefly glow? How does a firefly’s light
differ in color from that of an electric arc, and why? The

value, but of this we may be sure—it is by dovetailing the
results of “‘theoretical?’ investigations along many widely

“LADY FROM PHILADELPHIA” PER-
FORMED BY MAIDS SATURDAY
EVENING

A one-act comedy, “The Lady. from Phil-
adelphia,” Seached by M. P. Kirkland, '21,
was given.by the Bryn Mawr maids, in the
gymnasium Saturday night, -under the

- auspices of the maids’ committee..

The principal parts were taken by Archefa
Nicolls, of Rockefeller, and Marianne Gal-
way, of Rembroke. The stage was turned
into a dining-room by the use of furniture
and screens. The entertainment was opened
by two songs—“Love Bird,” by Zurlene
Wolff, of Radnor,” and’ “QId Pal,” by
Christine Jones, of Radnor, fétlowed by a

~’ recitation, “Crossing the Bar,” by Marguer-

ite Turner, of Pembroke.
_Refreshments...were.sold..in-the.balcony
during the dance which followed the enter-
tainment. A competition ‘for* the best
dancer resulted in the prize. being awarded
to Zurlene Wolff, of Radnor. * :
“DR. .CECIL DISCUSSES “THINGS
“THAT ARE WORTH WHILE”
“You have reached the time in your lives
when you are thinking- of the things worth
while,” Dr. Russefl Cecil, father of E.
Cecil, ’21, declared, speaking in Chapel last
Sunday evening. “The world, too, is .in
need of people who have the courage to

choose the things: worth while, and who
know how to do them.”

Those who consider the church not
worth belonging to, Dr. Cecil compared to
those who believed in the cause of a war,
and were willing to fight, but refused to
undergo the necessary training. If you are
unwilling to consider the church worth
while you separate yourself from the most
valuable and the greatest ‘people in the

world.

“Being is more important than doing,” Dr.
Cecil explained, showing that cultivation of
character as_wellas a--useful life were

among the things worth while.

“THE COLLEGE NEWS





SCHOLARSHIP SHOULD: BE
ENCOURAGED BY PRIZES



Presiderit Thomas Urges Need of Admit-
* ‘ting Women to Competition .
Speaking in Chapel. after the announce-

ments of awards Friday morning, Presi--

rdent Thomas" said in part:

“Universities in all countries. and en-

lightened, governments have always recog-|

nized that. prizes, praise, recognition and
honors are very important in persuading
young people to enter on this straight and
narrow path which is, I assure you, one of
the most wonderfully rewarding paths in
the whole world.

“We often look back with longing to the
achievements of'that little Athenian repub-
lic. that. during: two. or three centuries cre-
ated such glorious poetry and prose; drama,
philosophy, architecture, sculpture and all
sorts of ‘things that: we have not been able
to equal since. It seems to have stimu-
lated Greek genius by a wonderful system
of prizes of no value at. all in themselves—
a wreath of laurel or wild parsley—but of
such ‘glory to the man who’ won it that his

children and grandchildren and remotest

descendants were all horored because of
him.

.“I often think that if we Americans
should begin now to honor scholars, not
only students, but professors and investiga-
tors, and place them in popular estimation
above multi-millionaires and successful men

of business, we should thereby create many

great scholars.
“But to: blaze the- way you must see that

rall positions of honor and influence “aré

open for competition to women. In almost
in subordinate positions with no chance of
getting any further. It must be your work
to set free the intellect, the public spirit, the
genius for scholarship; the aptitude for
research that have been lying dormant and
undeveloped in women dtring centuries.

“And I want to say before closing that
we are very, very proud of this year’s
seniors who have done so well and of our
whole student body. In coming back to
you after an absence of fifteen months, I
really had forgotten’ what:a wonderful thing
You are different,
and really and truly so much nicer even
than I thought you were®

VASSAR STUDENTS SPEND

$700 YEARLY BESIDE COLLEGE FEES



Clothes Claim Large Per Cent. of

Allowance—Travel and Food Next

Seven hundred dollars is the average
yearly expenditure of the average Vassar

‘| student, in addition to the college fees of

board-and tuition. Facts as to the average
income and expenditure were established
by expense accounts kept by about, one-third
of the students at Vassar for three months
this year; the investigation was under the
supervision of the Department of Eco-
nomics.

Seniors spend’ most of all the four
classes;/ Juniors spend next most, .and
Freshmen least of all. :“The gradual _in-
crease,” says the New York Sum for March
13, “is supposedly due to the fact that

ae is put on the individual

girl as she proceeds through college.
Freshmen’s. parents probably buy. a large
proportion of their clothes for them,
whereas the Seniors “~— purchase their
own.”

Individual éxsenditures over the three
months’ period varied from $31 to $1335, the:

average being $100.. More than half of the| -

total amount went to clothing, in which
again individual expenditures vary from
$1.00 to $1084.50.

Of other expenses 14 percent. of the it

total sum was spent for traveling, 14 per
cent. for food and recreation, 8 per cent.
for incidentals*and 3 per“ cent‘. for church
and charity. Only a small number of the
students receive a regular allowance, it was
féund. Allowances were usually given at
the beginning of the ‘year or term, rather
than monthly. ©
