NEW ENGLAND CHARACTERIZED
IN POEMS: OF ROBERT FROST |

a

American Poet-Lecturer Gives
Commentat've Reading

“The Poet of New England,” Robert
Frost, reading from his poems in Taylor
Hall last Saturday evening, under the au-
spices of the Reeling and Writhing Club,
confirmed before the audience his right to
his title. From “The Birches,” with which
the reading opened, to the final encore, Mr.
Frost’s poems portrayed New England life
and interpreted New England characters.
Unlike the poems of Siegfried Sassoon and
Robert Nichols, who have given readings
at Bryn Mawr in the last two years,
Robert Frost’s, all written before 1916,
showed no influence of the war.

Contrasting the tenets of modern ima-
gists such as Ezra Pound and Miss Lowell,
with his own theories, Mr. Frost said that
he sought to express over and above the
image, the psychological tone conveyed by
the ordinary speaking voice. In this way
Mr. Frost believes that clearness of image
and style are achieved. “The lay of most
so-called imagists is to give poems that
shall convey a clear image without much
attention to thought or sentiment. Such a
line as ‘listener to new yellow roses’ does
not bring any true image; it does not give
one the pleasure of recognition, which is
the basis for all enjoyment in art.” The
concluding lines of Mr. Frost's poem, “The
Gum Gatherer,” show his simplicity, power
and originality :

“TI told him this is a pleasant life

To set your breast to the bark of trees

That all your days are dim beneath.
And reaching up with a little knife

To loose the resin and take it down

And bring it to market when you please.”

Of Mr. Frost’s dramatic poems, “The
Fear” was easily the most gripping and
vivid, giving with intensity and insight the
horror of something only half seen in the
darkness of a lonely road.

“There are two kinds of style: the more
bookish and the less bookish. Of all my
poems,” Mr. Frost remarked, “I consider
‘The Cow in Apple Time’ the most book-
ish.”

“Something inspires the only cow of late
To make no more of a wall than open gate,
And think no more of wall-builders than
fools.
Her face is flecked with pomace and she
drools
A cider syrup. Having tasted fruit,
She scorns a pasture withering to the root.”
(Continued on Page 2)



MARKING NO LONGER NUMERICAL

At the last meeting of the faculty it
was voted to give up the numerical sys-
tem of grading adopted in 1902, and to
return to a literal system. The notation
to be used by the college in future is
the following:

H H C—highest credit
H C—high credit

C—credit

L C—low credit
M—merit

L M—low merit
P—passed

L P—low passed
F—failed

For failed, a numerical grade will be
given.



New Panel Hung in the Chapel

An example of Italian Rennaissance
sculpture has been hung on the east wall
of the chapel. It is a panel of the type
technically known as a tabernacle, which
is the facade of the cupboard where the
sacramental bread was kept. The work
bears the signature of the Florentine
sculptor, Mino dal Phieso.

Philade!phia Cricket Club Tripped by
Varsity in 7-2 Victory



Forward Line Passing a Feature

Triumphing over the Philadelphia Cricket
Club with a 7-2 victory, Varsity won the
third match game of the year last Satur-
day. The Philadelphia team was disorgan-
ized in the first half and proved unable to
cope with the finely timed team work of the
Bryn Mawr forwards, but settled down in
the second period holding Varsity to one
tally as against two which it scored.

The Brown team started off with a rush,
scoring a goal in the first few minutes of
play from a long dribble and shot by M.
Tyler. The ball then passed into the Bryn
Mawr territory only to be shot out by Miss
Duncan, full-back, to M. Faries at left
wing, who carried it the length of the field,
passing to A. Nicoll for the second goal.
After a short scrimmage in the circle, the
third goal was pushed in by M. Tyler, fol-
lowed in quick succession by a clean tally
from the edge of the circle by M. Faries
and a long dribble and goal by E. Cecil.
C. Bickley shot the last goal of the half
from the middle of the circle after a hot
scrimmage. During this half the Phila-
delphia defense was rushed off its feet by
the clever team work of A. Nicoll and M.
Faries on the left side, while M. Krech at
half-back played a good game, covering the
right side of the field and passing well to
the forward line.

Play in Second Half Scrappy

The second half opened with a goal for
Philadelphia by Miss Norris, right wing,
after a speedy dribble the length of the
field. Then followed a period of scrapping
during which neither side could gain an
advantage, ending in a goal by Miss Grant
after a long dribble by Miss Norris. After
a sharp scrimmage in the circle, A. Nicoll
scored the final goal of the game for Bryn
Mawr, bringing the total score to 7 tallies
as against 2 for Philadelphia. The defense
proved to be the strongest point of the
Philadelphia team, while the team work of
the forward line was the most spectacular
feature of the Bryn Mawr team. Line-up:

TELL OF TAGORE’S PERSONALITY



_ Articles Describe Colorful Career
“Rabindranath Tagore is the first among

‘our saints who has not refused to live but

has spoken out of life itself,” quotes Wil-
liam Butler Yeats from a Bengali doctor
in his preface to Tagore’s “Gitanjali.”
Tagore will speak here on a literary sub-
ject on Friday, November 12th, under the
auspices of the English Club.
Characteristics of Tagore are described
in a review of biographies in a number of
the Nation for 1915, “The impressions we
derive,” reads the review, “is of a per-
sonality of rich charm and great activity.
Tagore’s varied career as manager of his
father’s country estate, poet, musician,
essayist, dramatist, novelist, educator, na-
tional leader and finally as educator, seems
to us too prolific and energetic to be truly
oriental. Moreover, quotations from his
letters prove him a keen observer and
thinker, with decided opinions on such

New Song Adds Impressiveness to
Lantern Night Ceremony



New Greek Song a. Success

Blue lanterns embossed by Chinese char-
acters were presented to the Freshmen by
the Sophomores last Friday night in the
cloisters at the annual celebration of Lan-
tern Night.

Owing to a strong west wind, the Sopho-
mores’ singing could not be heard until
they entered the cloisters, and there was
a long silence while the Freshmen, after
their entrance, waited for the Sophomores
to walk from Pembroke Arch. 1923 walked
the entire length of the cloisters under the
arch, approaching the fountain by the
center steps, while 1924 used the side steps.

The Sophomores, on the whole, sang
better than the Freshmen. Their rendering
of “Pallas Athene” was well modulated and
true, though rather slower than usual.
During the first verse one line was almost
a whole note behind the other, but when
they met in the center, perfect time was
kept; a complete pause at the end of each
line marked the rhythm.

Considering the extreme difficulty of the
new song, the Freshmen sang well. Al-
though at the outset their singing was
marred by a slight raggedness and a tenor
which was off-key, they recovered the time
and showed more richness and volume in
individual voices than 1923. The Greek
words and full harmonies were much more
in keeping with the ceremony than “Over
the Way.” The impressiveness of the
ceremony was enhanced by the dimly lit
library windows and the shadows of the
towers cast by the full moon on the cloister
walls.

In the college singing under: Pembroke
Arch after the ceremony, 1924 sang their
class song for the first time. Composed
by B. Ling to an old tune to “Crossing the
Bar,” it runs:

Singing Under Pembroke Arch

“We bring our gift of youth
To be a sacrifice

To the straight paths of truth,
And great shall be the prize.

Our spirits strong and brave and free
We joyfully shall lend

To the good rule of wisdom’s purity
And humbly seek its end. .

“With hearts erect and strong
Together we shall go,
Not leaving, though the way be long,
The pathway that we know.
And if the daylight hides,
The way be steep and far,
Be thou our reverend hope and guide,
Our everloved Bryn Mawr.”



FOUR PARTIES REPRESENTED
IN BIG POLITICAL RALLY

Fiery Speeches by Faculty and
Undergraduates a Feature

Brandishing torches and surrounded by
yelling hordes of supporters, the Elephant
and the Donkey, the Pig and the Prisoner,
marched into the gymnasium last Monday
night in a great political rally, held under
the auspices of the History and Debating
Clubs.

First to put in an appearance was the
Farmer-Labor Party, dragging its Pig in a
cart, and accompanied by Mr. Christensen
and his five wives. After them came the
Socialists, bearing Debs in a cage, followed
by the white cloaked Ku Klux Klan of
the Democrats, escorting Mr. and Mrs.
Cox. Finally, amid a great ‘blast of noise,
the G. O. P. Elephant waddled into the
room to the music of a band clad in black
gowns and red caps. With them were Mr.
and Mrs. Harding.

Mr. Harding, impersonated by K. Peek,
‘22, opened. the addresses from his front
porch amid the cheers of his supporters
and the hisses of the opposing factions.
“The people are tired of Wilsonism,” he
cried; “he deluded, despicable, de-
mented despot who would leave us to a
mess of pottage.” In closing Mr. Harding
expressed the sentiment —that—_he—would
“rather break the heart of the world than
destroy the soul of the American people.”

Democrats Urge the League

Mr. Cox (M. Foot, ’21) then took the
floor in behalf the Democrates and
harangued the crowd on the “League of
Nations.” “What is America to do in this
he asked; “is she to say No to
those nations across the sea? No! a thou-
sand times No!” Here the speech was
ended by a rotten pear hurled by an un-
seen bystander.

Eugene V. Debs (H. Stone, ‘21),
prison garb with manacled hands, was led
forward to the platform his party
chanted the Socialist war cry:

“Down with the Capitalists, we are Reds;
Socialism, Socialism, we want Debs.”
Lifting his bound hands to the roof Mr.
Debs thundered, “As my hands are tied,
so are Labor's hands tied. We want free-
dom. Let us join hands in establishing a
reign of liberty in America.” Mr, Chris-
tensen (K. Walker, '21), the Farmer-Labor
candidate, pointing to his five wives, de-
clared, “By this series of wives we solve
the servant problem.”

Miss Applebee

In the Fall of 1914 Miss Applebee started
the News with several enterprising under-
graduates; since then she has been its most
ardent supporter, firing others on the board
with her live spirit of interest. She has
saved us from the pitfalls of “purple
patches” by insisting on a strictly journal-
istic style, and in her capacity as censor,
has rescued us from the brink of many a
slip. Not only the editorial board, but the
business board also, will miss her steadying
hand. We count her an invaluable friend,
and will miss keenly her rare faculties as
adviser and co-worker.

The Black Spectre

In contra-distinction to other American
colleges, Bryn Mawr extends the privilege
of wearing caps and gowns to all its stu-
dents. Fortunately, they enjoy this privi-
lege in some measure, and occasionally
express their appreciation by appearing in
these artistic black costumes on gray days,
making a pretty silhouette against the fog.
Other occasions on which a gown is seen
are when a bathrobe is lost, or a sudden
fire drill is given, or on rare occasions at
chapel.

Sophomore rules compelled ’22 to wear
their gowns until Christmas, so as to get
the habit. Has any one in '22 been seen
in one since?

While all these uses of the gown are
commendable, the question of whether we
are not abusing our privilege remains. Is
the Bryn Mawr gown to be received in
the beautiful ceremony of Lantern Night
and worn to represent what it stands for,
or has the college come to feel like the
outsider at the last Lantern Night who
fell over the rough scaffolding and said
to a nearby student, “What is this, any-
how? A Hallowe'en stunt?”

PRES. THOMAS SATISFIED WITH
NEW LANTERN NIGHT SONG



Praises Freshman Singing

In commenting on Lantern Night in
in chapel, Monday morning, President
Thomas praised the new song highly,
both for its Greek words and its meas-
ured Greek church music. She consid-
ers it more worthy of the occasion than
“Over the Way,” and complimented the
way the Freshmen sang it.

The Sophomore entrance she thought
more effective and symmetrical than
usual, though a trifle delayed. She urged
the abolition of red lanterns in keeping
time for the singers, as they were unhar-
monious with the moon light and the
blue lanterns, and suggested deeper blue
lanterns





THE COLLEGE NEWS

"(The editors do not hold themselves respon-
sible for opinions expressed in this column.)

To the Editor of The College News:

A compromise has been offered to ap-
pease those who do not wish to give
up class plays, and at the same time
want Varsity Dramatics. A semester,
filled with Varsity Dramatics, Senior
Play and Glee Club, together with Fresh-
man Show and Junior-Senior Supper
Play, as skits, would seem overcrowded.
Moreover, at present there is not a
superfluity of dramatic talent in college,
and the best of each class must needs
go into Varsity Dramatics. Class plays
will be seriously handicapped by this
loss, and skits, often overworked and
forced, would be utter failures without
some dependable acting.

Class plays in the past have been
known to be fully as successful as Var-
sity Dramatics. Why not concentrate
the efforts of the college on really good
class plays instead of dissipating them
on a series of skits, Glee Club and Var-
sity Dramatics, each of which would
detract from the other and from the
main production? After a year of May
Day we would do well to have a normal
year with good class plays,



Opposed.



To the Editor of The College News:

The next big constructive enterprise
before the college is the erection of a
Students’ Building, and of all the aspects
of this contribution to the life of the col-
lege, that of the theatre will be most im-
portant. Varsity dramatics seems to be the
vehicle by which the undergraduates can
most effectively co-operate in carrying out
the undertaking, from both a financial and
a dramatic standpoint.

Varsity dramatics clears at least $500
every time it is given; class plays mean
an expense of at least $300 to the class.
The publicity of a Varsity play offers a
medium for reaching subscribers to the
building. With the record of a successful
May Day immediately behind us, we cannot
offer the outside public a play in which
the effect of two or three good principal
characters is lessened by the support of a
mediocre cast. In Varsity dramatics a
small cast of the best actresses in college
would give a really finished performance.
These are the means by which Varsity
dramatics could be of immediate assistance
to the Students’ Building.

A forward-looking policy toward the
time when we shall give plays in the build-
ing demands that we start at once to obtain
the necessary experience. The time allotted
to the production of class plays at present
is insufficient to give more than amateur
finish to the performance. The time which
would be allowed for Varsity rehearsals
would be adequate for a play whose dic-
tion, stage business and minor characters
could be developed to the excellence of a
May Day production.

Advocates.

A Word to the Wise
To the Editor of The College News:

Why, yes! “Look to your English.”

Never could so sensible an ending be
expected from that would-be Diatribe
against French tables, inserted in last
week’s issue of the News.

If this “langue des dieu” was too much
for that “uneducated native” to bear, who
most unfortunately strayed into our com-
pany, we, in turn, cry mercy at the new
style of “obscurantism” developed in her
letter.

Bi-linguists as we are, we yet cling to
the world-old principle, much in favor with
institutions of learning that

“Ce que l’on congoit bien s’enonce claire-
ment.

“Et les mots pour le dire arrivent aisé-
ment.”

On the strength of that argument we
cannot but agree to her conclusion, and
earnestly advise her to avoid cosmopolitan
quarters before having mastered a clear
and intelligible use of her own tongue.—

Republicans. “The League, in its present
form, is a dead issue,” he said; “it func-
tions like a six-cylinder machine with five
cylinders out of commission. Cox would
have neither the mechanics nor the oil to
make it run.” “But we'll have the machine
all right,” shouted Professor Fenwick,
from the floor, a hot Democrat. “Yes,
but it will be a Republicah machine,” an-
swered Dr. Wheeler.

The Democrats called Dr. Fenwick to
the defense. He began with a triade
against the Republican Party, declaring it
was a party of bosses. “Roosevelt was too
good for them, so they prevented his re-
election,” he declared. The Democrates on

| the other hand, he went on to point out,

are a constructive party. They have tried
to build up a great League of Nations.
“What a master mind it took to plan that
scheme,” he said, “and what a petty little
mind to tear it down. Was ever attack
more despicable than that of Senator
Lodge?” Going on to speak of the Re-
public convention at Chicago, Mr. Fenwick
said, “The bosses turned down all the
strong men in the party. They wanted a
man they could get under their thumb, and
they got one. Our candidate is unbossed—
his policy is a blank sheet on which you
may Write your desires,” ai

In answer to an objection made from
the floor that many Democrats in Ohio
were voting for Harding because they
thought that the surest method of obtain-
ing a League of Nations, Mr. Fenwick
said: “You say A League, but what have
you to offer us? The Democrats want the
League under the leadership of Woodrow
Wilson, the greatest man of the age.”

“The Republicans have told you not to
vote for the Democrats and the Democrats
tell you not to vote Republican. They
are both right,” said Dr. Crenshaw, speak-
ing for Eugene Debs. “Here is a man who
stands for liberty and freedom, who had
the courage to go to jail for his convic-
tions. Vote for him.”

FROST READS NEW ENGLAND VERSE



(Continued from Page 1)

“The Tuft of Flowers” and “The Thaw-
ing Wind” belong among the earliest of
Mr. Frost's poems, written, the poet said,
when he had no business to be out of
school.

Three meetings are planned by the Reel-
ing and Writhing Club at which Mr. Frost
will give an informal course in writing
verse. Speaking to one of the officers of
the Club about these meetings, Mr. Frost
said that he did not wish to see poems
made to order. “I hope that your members
write any way, and that my intercourse
with them will be in the nature of a fair
exchange between poet and poet.”

Mr. Frost was entertained at dinner in
the Deanery before the reading, Miss
Donnelly acting as hostess in President
Thomas’s absence. Tea was given in his
honor for members of the Reeling and
Writhing Club in Denbigh, on Saturday
afternoon.



Lost and Found

To the Editor of The College News:
“Lost and Found” was originated by
the Undergraduate Association to serve
the student body. To do this most ef-
fectively the co-operation of the students
themselves is necessary. Every day peo-
ple come in and inquire for articles
which are never brought to us; very fre-
quently things are turned in and are
never claimed. How many people find
a fountain pen or a coat and then after
making a few perfunctory inquiries for
the owner, let the matter drop. Do they
realize that some one is anxiously hunt-
ing her note book, her sweater that was
left on the hockey field? Do they con-
sider that these things would reach their
owner through “Lost and Found” if they
were brought to the Book Shop or given
to the warden of the hall for collection?
If every one in college will lend her
thoughtful assistance, we can make this
institution a benefit to the community.

SENIORS TRIUMPY OVER ORALS



All Seniors Pass Greek: Two 22's Fail

The five Seniors who retook the Greek
Junior language examination this Fall have
passed; two Juniors failed and five passed.
The grades are:

1921: A; E. Donnelley, K. Johnston, E.
Kimbrough, B. Spinelli, C. Garrison.

1922: A; U. Batchelder, J. Fisher, A.
Fountain, J. Palache, L. Wyckoff. C, N.
Jay, A. Nicoll.

When the examination was first given
this Fall, six students failed, E. Donnelley,
C. Garrison, N. Jay, U. Batchelder, J.
Fisher and A. Nicoll. On account of the
confusion in the examination room they
were given a second trial, which five passed.

Ellen Jay Passes Spanish

Granted a second trial in Junior Spanish,
E. Jay, '21, passed the examination. She
was given the second chance because of the
confusion in the examination room. The
News of October 20th stated than on ac-
count of failing, Miss Jay would not receive
her degree in June, but the office had not
offered the second trial when the copy
went to print.



TAGORE HAS FASCINATING CAREER

(Continued from Page 1)
dangerous subjects as feminism, education
and the defects of Americans.”

“You people over here,” Tagore has re-
marked, according to an article in the Dial
for June 15, 1919, “seem to me to be all in
a State of continual strife. It is all strug-
gling, hard striving to live. There is no
place for rest or peace of mind or that
meditative relief which in our country we
feel to be needed for the health of our
spirits.”

“Tagore is a voracious reader,” continues
the Nation review. “Every month he buys
many books on literature, philosophy, eco-
nomics, politics, sociology and history. He
reads them all. He is not ascetic or soured.
‘He loves the world as passionately as a
miser loves money.’ It is reassuring to the
western mind to find a spiritual hero so
human, a seer so practical and near.”

Gives Up Knighthood As Protest

Knighted by the British government,
Tagore handed back his knighthood, ac-
cording to an article in the Literary Digest
for September 27, 1919, as a protest against
British floggings of Hindu rioters, “The
Bengali poet’s protest,” it comments, “will
create a lasting impression, as he is recog-
nized not only in India, but widely in Eng-
land and America as a great spiritual force
and a man of the most enlightened out-
look.”

SILVER BAY VESPERS LED BY

_ H. JAMES. OTHERS SPEAK

“We are trying a new plan this year in
having Silver Bay Vespers in the Fall in-
stead of in the Spring, so that the Fresh-
men can get an idea about the conference,”
began H. James, ’21, leader of last year’s
delegation to Silver Bay, in vespers last
Sunday. “Four people who were delegates
will speak, and a choir composed of dele-
gates will sing some of the songs.”

The first speaker was S. Hand, ’22, who
sketched the general program for each day,
and gave an outline of the events occurring
during the conference. “Silver Bay is not
merely a super-playground for college
girls,” began E. Cecil, ’21, who spoke next,
and went on to stress the lasting good
resulting from the opportunities of discuss-
ing personal problems with the spiritual
leaders. A third light was thrown on the
conference by P. Ostroff, '21, who told of
the foreign delegations and of the interest
in coming in contact with women of dif-
ferent nationalities. Speaking last was D.
Meserve, '23, who described the advantages
of the individual delegation meeting in the
evening.

Three of the Silve er Bay songs were sung,
including Mt. Holyoke’s prize song of 1918,
and this year’s prize song by H. Hill, ’21,
to the tune of “Follow, Follow.”

POINT SYSTEM SLIGHTLY CHANGED

Changes in the Point System, which
were suggested by the Undergraduate
Board, were adopted unanimously at the

‘EVOLUTION OF IDEAS ABOUT GOD}

SHOWN IN BIBLE, SAYS DR. TYSON
“The modern student considers seeming

contradictions in the Bible as expressions

of the successive stages of man’s ideas
about God,” said Dr. Stuart Tyson, of New
York, in the second of his talks about the
Bible in Taylor Hall last Wednesday.

“Throughout the Old and the New Testa-
ment you see the spirit of God correcting
the old and inadequate beliefs. This goes
on today,” Dr. Tyson said, “and will go
on, I believe, as long as this world lasts.”
If the books of the Bible are read in
chronological sequence, the evolution of
modern religious thought is easily trace-
able.

Taking up the stories of Job and Jonah,
Dr. Tyson showed that these are not “rot,”
but “earthly stories with heavenly mean-
ings—parables.” “As people, as nations, as
church members,” said Dr. Tyson, “we must
learn what this story of Jonah teaches—
that God has absolutely no favorites.”

IN THE NEW BOOK ROOM

Volumes of contemporary Italian liter-
ature, covering fiction, drama and political
discussion, by authors including Niccodemi,
Moretti, Objetti.

“I Poeti Italiani del Secolo XIX.” An
anthology compiled by Raffaello Barbiera.

“Modern Japan,” by Amos S. Hushing.
A study of social, industrial and political
problems of the empire.

“History of Indian Mutiny,” reviewed
and illustrated from original documents by
G. W. Forrest, C. I. E,, ex-director of
Records, Government of India, treating of
the progress of the mutiny from the siege
of Delhi to the capture of Lucknow.

“Shakespeare in Italy,” by Lacy Collison-
Morley, who relates the spread and recep-
tion of Shakespeare’s works in Italy.

GRADUATES HIRE SHOP WORKERS



One Sells in Wanamaker’s Store

Personnel work in different shops brings
interesting experiences to the Graduate
students in Industrial Research, according
to Miss Gladys Boone, instructor in the
department.

In Wanamaker’s, Miss Nason has been
selling behind a counter, observing the sys-
tem and personnel of the store, but known
to the saleswomen only as one of their
profession. Miss Fulke, at the Notaseme
Hosiery Company, does actual hiring and
firing, besides work on the problem of
absentees.

Some research work, treating of prob-
lems like absenteeism, wage questions and
systems of promotion, is done by the stu-
dents. Often they assist in home visiting,
when that work falls under the personnel
department. They learn about the jobs
held by employees, learn interviewing and
mechanism like the filing system, and ob-
serve the work of other departments, like
the medical.

BRYN MAWR PSYCHOLOGISTS READ
PAPER AT CLEVELAND MEETING

Dr. Ferree and Dr. Rand presented a
paper on “The Effect of Variations in In-
tensity of Illumination on Functions of
Importance to the Working Eye” at the
Fourteenth Annual Convention of the
Illuminating Engineering Society, held at
Cleveland, October 4th to 7th.

During the war the country was under
great stress to increase its industrial out-
put. It was felt that an increase in the
intensity_of illumination, through a possible
favorable effect on the working powers of
the eye, would be of great advantage in
this direction. Drs. Ferree and Rand
were asked to make a study of the ques-
tion.

Need More Intense IIilumination

They found that an increase of
tensity above what is now ordinarily em-
ployed in lighting practice increases acuity
or power to see clearly and greatly in-
creases speed of discrimination, speed of
adjustment of the eye for clear seeing at
different distances (speed of accommoda-
tion and convergence), and power to sus-
tain clear seeing for a period of work,
the functions which are of greatest im-
portance to the working eye. They found
also that eyes suffering from small errors
in refraction of a type and amount which
are of very frequent occurrence, even in
the corrected eye, gain a great deal more
in all of these regards than the normal
eye. A similar advantage was found for
the middle aged and old eye.

In general, the defective eye was found
more nearly to approximate the normal eye
in functional power at the higher illumina-
tions. However, if the eye is to benefit by
increase of illumination, the increase should
not be accomplished by the introduction of
harmful glares into the field of view, a
great danger in present lighting practice.
Artificial Light Equals One-Half Daylight

By present lighting practice, according to
Drs. Ferree and Rand, we are accustomed
to work under artificial illumination with
from one-third to one-half the amount of
light found in rooms well lighted by day-
light. Since the eye has developed its func-
tional powers under the higher intensities
which characterize daylight illumination, it
has its highest functional efficiency un-
der these intensities. It has been popu-
larly supposed that the eye by adaptation
changes its sensitivity to compensate for
changes of illumination over a very wide
range. The compensation, however, is by
no means complete so far as the effect on
clear seeing is concerned, more particu-
larly with regard to the very important
functions: speed of discrimination, speed
of change of adjustment of the eye for
clear seeing at different distances and
power to sustain clear seeing.

The results obtained by Drs. Ferree and
Rand were incorporated into the Society's
offeial report

MR. SMITH, OF INTERNATIONAL

_Y. M. C, A. LEADS CHAPEL
“Can you afford to live the Christian
life?” was the question Mr, Wilbert Smith,
of International Y. M. C. A, brought to
his congregation in chapel last Sunday.
“To me,” said Mr. Smith, “the Christian
life means no less than a life devoted to
persuading men and women in all the world
to accept Jesus’ interpretation of the will of
God. A Christian has also been defined as
‘one who makes it easier for other people
to trust God.’”

“Some of us can’t ies to be on inti-
mate terms with Christ,” Mr. Smith de-
clared. “We are afraid to face opposition,
to pay the price of isolation. We are a
strange crowd. We sing, work, talk about
Him, but we will not trust Him. If we
did, He would make good the aspirations
of our lives.”



MONEY FOR DR. SHAW MEMORIAL
COLLECTED AT POLLS YESTERDAY
Women who went to the polls yesterday
were made to feel the spirit of the late
Anna Howard Shaw, who endured a life-
long fight to obtain Woman’s Suffrage.

Women were stationed as sentinels at
every polling booth to collect for the Anna
Howard Shaw Memorial Fund, which will
be divided equally between Bryn Mawr
College and the Woman’s Medical College
of Pennsylvania for foundations.

Darthela Clarke, ’20, arranged the col-
lection of, contributions at all the polls in
Philadelphia.

In Bryn Mawr and vicinity Mrs. Francis,
president of the Alumnae Association, took
charge of the three-hour shifts, many of
which were taken by alumnae of the fac-

ulty and staff.

VOCATIONAL CONFERENCE REVISED

“A change must be made in the Voca-
tional Conference this year,” said Dean
Smith, speaking in the chapel on Thursday
morning. Last year’s conference, while
successful, was too expensive for two suc-
cessive years.

In most colleges the College Office ar-
ranges the Vocational Conferences. It
could be done at Bryn Mawr through the
Dean’s Office by having, during the first
semester, a series of chapel talks on pro-
fessions open to women, and a series of
teas with outside speakers in the second
semester. The Employment Bureau _re-
quests suggestions from the undergradu-
ates.

REELING AND WRITHING CLUB

“Vers libre will not satisfy our desire|

for something new in verse until it achieves
form,” said Dr. Rhys Carpenter, in an in-
- formal talk before the Reeling and Writh-
ing Club, on Thursday evening, in Denbigh
Sitting Room. “Poets of modern schools
are not more subtle, but more crude; they
are demanding that verse fall into rhythm
that are ordinarily only hinted at.”

In explaining his theory of verse-form,
Dr. Carpenter showed that two or more
measures can be used as a unit of meter
as well as a single foot. To make the
divisions appreciable to the reader they
must be marked off in some way. This
is sometimes done by closing the sentence,
sometimes by the use of rhyme, “This
pattern of the poem is continually being
tempered by subtle changes and refine-
ments of sound. Pitch,” said Dr. Car-
penter, “fluctuated as if one were hinting
at some melody that isn’t really there.”

To illustrate various uses of form, Dr.
Carpenter read from his last volume of
poems, “The Plainsman.” “The Armament
of Igor,” which Dr. Carpenter read in con-
clusion, is a re-working of parts of a
mediaeval Russian poem.



VARSITY DRAMATICS COMPROMISE
LAID ON TABLE FOR TIME BEING



Odd Class Meetings Vote Pro

Varsity Dramatics vs. Class Plays was
discussed at the Undergraduate meeting on
October 26th.

A possible compromise, approved by
President Thomas, was presented and de-
fended by H. Hill, ’21. The compromise
proposes to insert a Varsity play in the
second semester, keeping Freshman Show
and Junior-Senior Supper Play skits as
they have been during the war and Jeaving
the rest of the schedule unchanged. As it
now stands, no one who is in Varsity Dra-
matics can be in any other play or skit.
After a short debate, E. Taylor, '21, moved
that the question be discussed in class meet-
ings and brought up at a later meeting of
the Association.

The Senior and Sophomore classes both
took a sense of the meeting in favor of
the compromise: 1921 by a vote of 40-9,
and 1923 by a vote of 26-25. 1922 and
1924 have not had their class meetings yet.

BRYN MAWR MEMORIAL BUILDING
FORMALLY OPENED AT TEA



First Issue of “Center” Appears

“Last Spring the people of Bryn Mawr
decided upon the Memorial Building as
the most fitting memorial to the men of
our community who sacrificed and served
in the war. They raised the money for its
purchase and now today are formally open-
ing it for the use to which it was dedi-
cated,” writes The Center, the news sheet
of the Bryn Mawr Community Center, in
its first issue which appeared last Friday
at the opening tea given in the new
quarters,

Standing on the property at the corner
of Bryn Mawr and Lancaster Avenues, the
Memorial Building houses, as well as the
Community Center, an American Legion
Post, a Home Service Section of the Red
Cross, the Main Line Citizens’ Association
and the Main Line Federation of Churches.
Other organizations use the building for
special meetings and entertainments.

The Center has an office, library and
reception room on the first floor, a kinder-
garten room, two club rooms, accommoda-
tions for cooking classes and a carpenter
shop in the greenhouse. The free public
library of the Center is its biggest feature,
with 1340 members and 4400 books. At
present the great need is for a gymnasium
and until that is filled, the Center will have
the use of the one connected with the
parish house of the Good Shepherd Epis-
copal Church in Rosemont.

Reports from all the club secretaries
were published in the first issue of The
Center, which appeared in time to welcome
its friends to the new building.

“Small as our news sheet is, it repre-
sents our common interest in the Center
and a strong desire on the part of all our
Center clubs and committees for a direct
means of reaching the public and of keep-
ing in touch with the different branches of
our community work,” said Dean Smith,
president of the Community Center, in her
article in the paper. The Center will ap-
pear from time to time during the year,

whenever there is a need for reaching the |.
