FRESHMEN TO SING NEW
SONG ON LANTERN NIGHT



“Over the Way” Supplanted by
‘Russian Church Music

A new song, replacing “Over the Way
to the Sacred Shrine,” will be sung by 1924
on Lantern Night. The tune, which was
chosen by H. Hild, ’21, and L. Rheinhardt,
21, is “Of Thy Mystical Supper,” part of
the Russian Church service by A. F. Lvoff.
The words are written in classical Greek,
transposed by R. Ward, '21, and H. Hill,
’21, from Pericles’ funeral oration by Thy-
cydidies,

“Over the way to the sacred shrine” was
originally 1908’s class song, and has been
used by the Freshmen on Lantern Night
since 1917’s Freshmen year. In 1913, the
custom of having the Freshmen class write
its own Lantern Night song was given up.
The Music Committee has been eager to
change the music for several years because
it thought the tune unsuitable for the oc-
casion.

The translation of the new Greek is:

“We come, O Goddess. We are lovers
of beauty in just measure, and lovers of
wisdom also. Wealth we employ but as
an opportunity for action, for our goal is
the supreme one and the hazards we re-
gard as the most glorious of all. Let us
remember now men who followed the right.
Fair is the prize and the hope is great...
beautiful and great.”

Irish Question Will Open Year For
Bryn Mawr Debating Club

To Tackle Socialist Expulsion Next



The question of Irish independence will
be the subject for the first debate under
the Debating Club, to be held Wednesday,
November 9th. The second meeting, on
Wednesday, November 23rd, will debate the
proposition: “Resolved, That the New York
legislature was justified in expelling its five
socialist members.”

Tryouts for the debate on Ireland will
be held tomorrow evening in Room 43,
Merion, at nine o'clock, consisting of two-
minute arguments before the committee on
any phase of the question. Freshmen, while
they may belong to the club, may not de-
bate until after their second quiz.

Division of the club into members of
conservative and radical tendencies has
been completed. Reasons for joining the
conservative side range. from that of the
student who “considered it safer” to the
one who thought it “more radical to de-
clare oneself conservative.”

M. KENNARD, ’22, NEW MEMBER
OF C. A. ADVISORY BOARD

As a result of the elections held in the
halls last Wednesday and Thursday, M.
Kennard, '22, has been elected Junior mem-
ber of the Advisory Board of the Chris-
tian Association in place of M. Rawson,
‘22, who resigned on account of her health.
Miss Kennard is secretary of the Self-
Government Association, Head Procter in
Pembroke-West and chairman of the Junk
Committee of the Christian Association.

Major Italian Class Starts Club

An Italian Club has been organized by
the major Italian class, with Mary Bald-
win, ’21, as president; S. Kirkbride, ’22,
vice-president, and M. Voorhees, ’22, secre-
tary. Other charter members are I. Col-
man, ‘22; E. Brush, ’22, and M. Morrison,
21.

The purpose of the club, according to
Miss Baldwin, is to create an interest in
Italian, especially in speaking the language.
Requirements for new members have not
yet been decided upon.











FACULTY AND STUDENTS SPLIT ON PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

With Harding leading by 46 in the student vote and Cox polling a salority
on the faculty ballot, the college expressed a divided opinion in the straw vote
taken Tuesday under the auspices of the News. Of a total of 373 votes cast,
200 were for Harding, 154 for Cox, 9 for Debs and 10 for Christensen. Faculty
and staff, polling 43 of the total number, showed only 14 Harding supporters,

24 for Cox, 3 for Debs and 2 for Christensen.

Elizabeth Taylor was elected president of
the Senior Class last Wednesday. Wini-
fred Worcester is vice-president and

PRESIDENT THOMAS AND ALUMNAE
DISCUSS POLICY FOR PUBLICITY

Organization among alumnae is vital for
the right kind of college publicity, accord-
ing to the decision reached by President
Thomas and the publicity committee of the

Alumnae Association meeting in the
Deanery last Thursday afternoon.
“Enthusiastic alumnae make the best

possible people to spread news about the
college,” said Mrs. Francis, President of
the Alumnae Association, to a News re-
porter. Margaret G. Blaine, '13, Executive
Secretary of the Alumnae Association, will
have charge of all notices and articles
given to the press.

To establish contact with preparatory
schools, President Thomas and the alumnae
of the Brearly School, Rosemary, and the
Bryn Mawr School of Baltimore will enter-
tain pupils from these schools at the time
of plays at college.

An alumnae council consisting. of
alumnae from each district, who will meet
at Bryn Mawr often enough to keep in
touch with college affairs, has heen sug-
gested.

REELERS AND WRITHERS TO HEAR
MISS DONNELLY TOMORROW NIGHT

“Modern Prose Writing” will be the sub-
ject of an informal talk by Professor Lucy
Martin. Donnelly at the Reeling and
Writhing Club meeting in Denbigh Sitting
Room at 7.30 tomorrow evening. Miss
Donnelly will describe the literary side of
her trip abroad this Summer.

Dr. Rhys Carpenter will speak November
4th on “The Importance of Form in -Mod-
ern Poetry.” Dr. Carpenter is the author
of “The Plainsman” and “The Sun Thief
and Other Poems.”

No Movies Because of Fire Regulations

May Day movies were not shown in the
gymnasium last Friday evening, because the
Lasky-Harris Co., which controls the film,
wrote Mrs. Francis, president of the
Alumnae Association, that it could not
comply with the college fire requirements
in running its machine. The pictures may
be shown later at the Bryn Mawr Theatre.

BANNER SHOW STAGED IN
EMERALD CITY AT OZ



Blue Munchkin Prince Rescues
Dorothy, 1924, From Greens
A land of fantastic shadows and lurk-
ing spies was opened to the Freshmen last
Saturday night at Banner Show when 1922

presented the “Dilemmas of Dorothy,” an

original application of the famous Oz
stories. The banner ceremony was not in-
cluded in the show, but, according to the
even tradition, was held in secret after the
odd classes had been “sung out.”

The plot concerned the child, Dorothy,
1924, in her wanderings through a strange
land. Befriended by the Tin Woodman and
the Scarecrow, she finally reached the
country of the blue Munchkins, where the
Munchkin Prince, 1922, succumbed to her
appealing and naive charm. She was taken
prisoner by the spies of the Wizard of Oz,
and held in the Emerald City until the
green forces, aided by the red witch,
Glinda, “met their Waterloo” at the hands
of the Munchkins, and the lovers were
united.

Contrary to most Banner Shows, the
many local hits were not above the Fresh-
men’s heads. Carried along by the clever
lines that crowded every song and speech,
such as “I failed to pass the Arabian oral”
and “What a flip remark—I am perfectly
furious—I am going to write a letter!” the
action moved swiftly, but even that failed
to prepare the audience for the abrupt and
illogical denoument.

From an all-round cast, P. Norcross
stood out for the childish simplicity and
quaint charm with which she interpreted

Reading By Robert Frost October
Thirtieth Will Start Series

Poet to Address Three Later Meetings

The first of the series of Reeling and
Writhing Club meetings with Robert Frost
will be Saturday, October 30th, when the
poet will give a public reading from his
works in Taylor Hall at eight o'clock.
Tickets will be on sale October 25th.

“Mr. Frost kas chosen his medium with
an unerring sense of fitness,” writes Miss
Amy Lowell in a review of the poet’s work.
“The pictures, the characters are repro-
duced directly from life, they are burnt
into the mind as if it were a sensitive
plate.” Mr * Frost's three publications,
“North of Boston,” “A Boy’s Will” and
“Mountain Interval” are on the Reeling and
Writhing Club shelves in the New Book
Room.

Three meetings, open to
Writhing Club members only, will be held
with Mr. Frost December 9th, February
10th and March 10th.

At the Booksellers

An Arkansas newspaper comments on the
fact that there are reported to be 30,000
poets in Japan. To our knowledge no one
has ever taken such a census of the verse
producers in America. Nevertheless whether
or not the output here at college is equal
proportionately, a testimony that the Reel
ers and Writhers are ahead in the race
is their booklet which is exhibited in the
window of a bookseller in town. The club
is indeed to be congratulated on its enter-
prise.

Straw Voting



Bryn Mawr, with its true desire to be
broadminded in political matters, has, like
many other institutions, taken a straw vote
of the coming elections. We are always
eager to fondle the cherished habit of lead-
ership and decide matters of weight intel-
lectually. Will our eagerness to influence
political issues ever reach the point where
we will send letters to current magazines,
such as may be found in the “Nation” to-
day?

' ‘The Marblehead Plebiscite
To the Editor. of the Nation:

Sir: I took a straw vote on the coming | t
cleétion ‘today. At the Home for the Feeble-
minded IT found that nearly every one is
soing to vote for Cox, while at the Town
Insane Asylum they are almost unani-
mously pledged to Harding. Inasmuch as
thére are Sixteen in the Home for the
Feebleminded and thirty-seven in the Town
Asylum, it looks as though Harding would
wet it.

NEW CLASSROOM IN LIBRARY

In place of the old magazine room a
new classroom has been opened on the
main corridor of the lower floor of the
library. It is used now for small Greek
and Biblical Literature classes.

All undergraduate classes are now on the

vround floor. The old magazine room is
uséd by Miss Kingsbury as a statistical
laboratory.



To the Editor of the College News:

The other day in Pembroke Dining
Room a visitor was surprised to hear a
table of graduates and undergraduates
conversing in French over their peas
and pdtatoes with frank enjoyment. Her
surprise increased when she learned that
French was spoken at that table at every
meal. The aid of several of the French
graduate students and members of the
French Club more than sufficed to “keep
the ball rolling.”

Is the plan not a feasible one for the
other halls to adopt? In every college

dining room there must be a handful of
students who talk French with compara-
tive ease. The obvious advantage of such
practice—even apart from the fun of it
would seem to make it worth while.—

” Whether it is isecaiiil ‘él soil, jalan
situation, or what is more probable, close
contact with an ancient culture, Bryn Mawr
graduates flourish in China. I use the word
“flourish” advisedly. In spite of the variety
and diversity of their occupations, ages and
tastes, they have a quality in common. They
all seem gayer, younger and more in love
with life than the average of their class-
mates at home, and than would seem com-
patible with the dignity and responsibility
of their pursuits. In short, they flourish
and cause all about them to flourish.

At Peking, we found Alice Boring, ’04
(whose Chinese name is “Bas”), teaching
Physiology and conducting research work
at the Peking Union Medical College. She
held a two-year appointment, a sort of
Oriental holiday between a brilliant term
of service at the University of Maine and
a new appointment at Wellesley. Serious
persons of scientific mien took us aside to
confide in us the loss science in the Far
East would sustain if she persisted in her
decision to return to America. Frivolous
persons plucked at our elbow and bewailed
the fate of Peking dinner parties without
the pungent spicy savour of her wit.
Wuchang is a small walled town in the
heart of China, situated on the Yangtse
River opposite the great industrial city of
Hankow. No foreign business firms are
permitted within its walls, but there are
many missions, several schools, Boone Uni-
versity for men and the largest hospital
for women in China, Dr. Mary James, ’04,
reigns over this as a supreme monarch.
She is as slim, as keen and a trifle younger
looking than I remember her as a Fresh-
man. Against the background of a great
hospital with its surgical ward, maternity
ward, tuberculosis ward, its nurses’ train-
ing school, its dispensary and department
of public sanitation, all the cumulative
product of a cool head and a warm heart,
“little Mary James” stands out easily as
one of the biggest figures in China.

Just outside the city walls is St. Hilda’s
School for Girls. It is under the American
Church Mission and is about the size of
Bryn Mawr College. Deaconess Kate
Scott, ’04, is the principal. She is even
handsomer than she was as an undergrad-
uate. Everybody within gunshot comes to
talk things over with her, not. only because
she helps them out of any difficulty they
may happen to be in, but because they like
to. She presides over a delightful house-
hold of American teachers; she conducts
Episcopal services in Chinese; she teaches
English Literature to the Chinese as it
should be taught to the Americans: she
teaches mathematics in Chinese so lucidly
that I could understand the mathematics
(it was addition and subtraction). She
keeps in touch with every girl who leaves
the school and is a permanent influence in
the lives of hundreds of Chinese women.
She has warm friends among Chinese men;
she reads the Chinese classics; she is a
living part of both the Old China and the
New.

Katharine Van Wagenen, '04, and her
husband do much the same work as Kate
Scott, at I-Chang, which is a long trip up
the Yangtse from Hankow. Unfortunately
we did not see them, but we heard reports
of their good work in many parts of China.

Jane Ward, '05, is General Secretary of
the Y. W. C. A. in Shanghai. Everybody
who goes to China ought to talk with her
(and everybody who does not go to China
ought to talk with her!) Her interests
are less specialized than the others. She
meets people from other lands and is in
touch with many projects. She seems to
have developed a sixth sense, an under-
standing of the hopes, aspirations and in-
tentions of the young generation in all
countries. She knows more about the sig-
nificance of the religious and ethical move-
ments in which young people are interested



‘inal enthusiasm and initiative.

-in anything else. I suppose this is because

lather tenet Soe ek She has at-
tained something which I think must be
rare among Y. W. C. A. secretaries, a com-
plete tolerance and intelligence on religious
subjects without an atom less of her orig-

(Bryn Mawrtyrs in China are interested
in and talk about books, ideas, politics, re-
ligion, philosophy, science and human
nature. They do not seem to be interested

they are not distracted, as we are, by mod-
ern conveniences, and they don’t bother
about exercise. )

Margaret Hendy Bates, ’05, also lives in
Shanghai. Her husband is professor at
St. John’s University. They were leaving
for a holiday the day after we arrived, and
my only contact with her was a spirited
conversation over the telephone.

after we had landed, we ran into Elizabeth
Faries, 12. A few days later we visited
her at Truelight Seminary, a great college
preparatory school for girls in the sub-
urbs of Canton. It would be hard to say
just what her position is. She is vice-
principal, secretary, teacher of English,

On the Bund at Canton, ten minutes |,



leader in athletics. She is the innovator of
all good things and the quintessence of |
Truelight. Her hair is just as yellow (and!
the Chinese adore her in spite of it); her
lashes are even longer. She is wiser, gayer
and younger than during her Senior year
at college, but is otherwise the same old
Faries. I found myself being extraordinary
thankful that no wrong-headed preparatory
school teacher had side-tracked her to an-
other college. I could not have borne to
have her at Smith or Vassar!

To many of us, Canton Christian College
is the place where Fanny Sinclair, ’01, went
after she married Andrew Woods. Un-
luckily the Woods were in America when
we were in Canton, They have now
to Peking, where Dr. Woods is
with the China Medical Board But their
memory still lingers at the-C. C. C. We
saw their house, their~garden and Tom
Woods’ foot prints in the cement walk in
front of the Administration Building.

Lillie Leeche, ’99, is head. of the English
Department and the only woman on the
faculty. But she is much more than that.
She is the uncrowned Dean of every am-
bitious student, boy or girl, who needs ad-
vice, help or encouragement. Canton Chris-
tian College, more than any other institu-
tion, is training the leaders of young China.
We shall never know how many of China’s
great men of the future will owe their
start in life, either for financial help, teach-
ing of English, wise council or the friend-
ship that is more valuable than all, to Lillie
Leeche. Many people told us about her
influence in all things of the mind and
spirit. They all agreed that they knew but
a fraction of the whole. Like all good
teachers, she is a passionate gardener and
grows chrysanthemums with her collegians,






balsams with her bachelors of art and
London’s Pride with her doctors of
philosophy.

Bryn Mawr alumnae in China need much
that we have to give; letters and more
letters from their friends; help in their
work from the recent graduates with a
few spare years on their hands, and prob-
ably, most of all, books. There is an in-
iquitious publishers’ monopoly in China that
keeps bookshops few in number and the
price of books above rubies. Our alumnae
need new books, especially on poetry,
general literature, fiction, history and
biography and science (if there is anything
else, they need that too). As a remedy
for the yellow melancholy let me recom-
mend mailing a book to China. The relief
is immediate but not permanent. It should
be repeated at frequent intervals.

teen received A, twelve B and sixteen C.
In 1923, twenty-four got A, twenty-one B
and nine C,

Six Sophomores took German for their
annual; three received A and three B. One
Junior taking annual German got B.

of all underclassmen receiving Bor C in
language examinations, new or old plan.



VASSAR-BRYN MAWR HOCKEY GAME
IS NOW A POSSIBILITY

According to a new ruling just passed
by the authorities, Vassar College will be
allowed to play match games off campus.
Formerly the students were not permitted
to play any games outside of college, and
their Varsity Hockey was a purely hon-
orary team. Now there is a possibility that
they will send a team to Bryn Mawr for a
match game later in the season.

Another Good Project Gone Wrong

The abrupt close to the career of the
Lyric Opera Company rankles in the
breasts of students, who could buy three
dollar seats for $1.25. They bewail no
superlative operatic performances, but the
rendering, however mediocre, of good
opera music at low prices. And they think

DAY CU ENT EVENTS CoURSE|
LED BY DR. FENWICK
“Today the farmer has to buy high and.

sell low,” said Dr, Fenwick speaking’ on

the farmer question in the second of his
current events lectures last Monday eve-"
ning at 7.30 in Taylor Hall. If the price
of his products is not raised, the farmer
threatens to raise only half as much next
year and get the same price, although he
does only half as much work.

Concerning the British miners’ strike, Dr.

Fenwick said, “The real issue of the strike
is not the old cry for wages which they are
flaunting only for an excuse, but an at-
tempt to nationalize the mines. They are
demanding higher wages, and also a reduc-
tion of fourteen shillings to consumers.
Their purpose is to prevent the owners:
from getting the mines back from the gov-
ernment, which they find easier to deal
with, The public treasury is being loaded
with profits from exported coal, and if the
owners take over the mines this surplus
will fall to them alone. Thus the demand
for reduction in retail prices is an attempt
to distribute the surplus among the con-
sumers.”



Oxford Women Present Problems

N. Y. Times Expresses Misgivings

Oxford University, which includes in
its registration list for 1921-22 about
twelve present Bryn Mawr undergradu-
ates, has only recently opened its de-
grees to women,

A propos of the increasing number of
women applicants, a New York Times
editorial comments:

“The problem at Oxford is not alto-
gether one of harmonizing its many-
centuried traditions with the new order
of things, difficult and possibly imprac-
tical as that may be. There are the
financial and physical problems to be
solved in a country where big donations
to the cause of education are not the
rule, as in America. There has been a
great increase in the number of men who
desire to enter Oxford or Cambridge,
and the number of these is likely to be
very greatly increased in the immediate
future, Before the great war German
universities attracted many students, not
only from America, but from England
also; but, in consequence of the general
disfavor into which all things German
have fallen, it is inevitable that the gen-
eral drift of all such students will now
be t othe two leading universities of
England and some to Paris, instead of
to Berlin, Leipsic, Géttingen and Heidel-
berg.

“Again, with the secondary schools in
England crowded as they never have
been before, a greater number of stu-
dents than heretofore will wish to go to
Oxford or Cambridge. When it is re-
membered that the number of women
students at Oxford, which was below 400 |
four years ago, has already increased to
600 the last year, with probably 1000 or

FRIENDS’ RECONSTRUCTION UNIT
WORKER SPEAKS IN CHAPEL

Miss Mildred Scott, former secretary of
the Federation of Churches along the Main
Line, speaking in Chapel last Thursday
morning related her- experiences during
three years of relief work among the refu-
gees with the Friends’ Reconstruction
Unit.

Miss Scott opened workshops in dug-
outs in the devastated areas in France
where refugees could make and peddle
mattresses. Next she went to Germany
under the Hoover commission to do relief
work for children and to distribute food.

“The German people felt beaten, and
wanted the armistice, although not with
these terms,” said Miss Scott. They ac-
cepted the Coalition Government because
they hoped to get their debt paid off in
five years. They want a liberal govern-
ment, but they feel that they must have
a kaiser with restrictions. The food and
housing shortages are so serious that all
except the native-born are being sent out
of the country. The food supply is espe-
cially guarded because not only are thou-
sands of Germans underfed, but as a pre-
vention of civil war, according to Miss
Scott.

FRENCH CLUB PLANS FOR YEAR



Try-outs to Be Tests for Fluency
Tests for membership in the French Club

will be held “some time soon,” according

to E. Harris, ’21, President. Fluency in
speaking rather than any great knowledge
of French will form the criterion for mem-
bership.

Meetings will be devoted entirely to con-
versation this year, as: reading aloud has
proved unsatisfactory. During the Winter
the club hopes to have speakers from time
to time, though they have not been obtained
as yet.

M. Tyler Leads Membership Vespers

New plans for the Membership Com-
mittee were announced by M. Tyler, ’22,
speaking at Membership Vespers last Sun-
day.

The membership campaign of the Chris-
tian Association will include the whole col-
lege this year. Pledge cards will be dis-
tributed to Sophomores, upper classmen
and graduates this week and to Freshmen
at a meeting which is being held by a
Junior in each hall to explain the pledge.
The faculty will be asked to become hon-
orary members of the Association.

“Strengthen your own religious life first,
and then you may be able to strengthen the
religious life of others,’ was the point em-
phasized by M. Tyler, '22, at the Member-
ship Vespers last Sunday. Formerly Mem-
bership Vespers were held after the can-
vas, when the names of the new Freshmen
and graduate members were read, but this
year the Membership Vespers were held
before the canvas so that the meaning of
membership in the Christian Association
could be explained.

series of Wednesday evening classes in
Bible Study. There will be three of these
Bible classes beginning tonight.

“TI have fought the good fight,” said St.
Paul when doomed to die. Using these
words as a sample of Paul’s religious
ideals, Dr. Tyson gave a vivid account of
St. Paul’s life, and especially of his rela-
tions with the people of Philipi. “For us to
fight the good fight, it doesn’t matter much
who or what we are,” pointed out Dr.
Tyson, “if we have like St. Paul the knowl-
edge that Christ is alive and that our spirit
and His spirit are in touch with another.”

VARSITY CRUSHES RIVERTON IN
FIRST GAME OF YEAR



Piles Up 15-1 Score Against Team From
New Jersey

Playing a fast game, Varsity defeated
the Riverton Cricket Club in a match game
last Saturday. The visiting team was dis-
organized and was able to penetrate the
Bryn Mawr defence for only one goal, as
against the 15 points scored by the Varsity
forwards,

Varsity played a good, clean game. The
forward line, with M. Tyler, ’22, as indi-
vidual star, was particularly strong, several
times sweeping the length of the field for
a pretty goal. During the second half the
play was almost entirely in Riverton’s ter-
ritory, and it was only through the persist-
ent efforts of Miss Miller at full-back that
a higher score was not made.
