“DARK BLUE FALLS BEFORE
ONSLAUGHT OF RED FIRST
{1921 Takes First Game of Finals
, after,Fiercely Contested Battle
With President Thomas applauding from
the side lines, '21 hammered the Junior
team for a 3-2 victory in the first game
of the finals, last Monday. The passing
on both teams was wild, and the game, as
a whole, was scrappy.
Within the first few minutes of play
F. Billstein pushed in the first goal for
the Seniors, followed almost immediately
by one for '22 by O. Howard. Then for
a period, marked by the speedy playing of
E. Newell, ’21, at half-back, and the strong
defense of the Junior fulls and goal, neither
team gained until F. Billstein scored her
second goal. °22 tied the score almost im-
mediately with another goal by O. Howard,
and for the rest of the half neither side
scored,
With the score at 2-2 both teams battled
to a standstill in the second half, neither
side being able to penetrate the opposing |:
defense for a tally. Then, with five min-
utes to play, came the most spectacular
play of the game, when E. Cecil, dribbling
down the field, passed to K. Walker, right
inside, for a pick-up goal from the edge
of the circle. During this half the splen-
did: blocking of E. Newell, at left half, and
the team work between K. Walker and E-.
Cecil, backed by W. Worcester, were
features of the Red play, while E. Dono-
hue, R. Neel and G. Rhodes starred for
the Dark Blue.
Line-up—1921: E. Cecil, K. Walker,* C.
Bickley, D. McBride, F. Billstein,** W.
Worcester, E. Cope, E. Newell, C. Garri-
son, M. P. Kirkland, M. Foot.
1922: E. Finch, M. Tyler, C. Baird, O.
Howard,** A. Orbison, M. Krech, B.
Clarke, E. Bliss, E. Donohue, R. Neel, G.

TO DISCUSS REORGANIZATION OF
ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION
Conference November 22nd to 23rd
Reorganization of the Alumnae Associa-
tion will be discussed at a conference held
in Bryn Mawr, November 22nd and 23rd.
A special committee of five has investi-
gated the Alumnae Associations of other
colleges, and will report their findings to
a joint committee composed of the Board
of Directors of the Alumnae Association,
the Chairman of the Finance Committee
and the Chairman of the Academic Com-
mittee. The members of the Special Com-
mittee are: Harriet Bradford, "15, Dean
of Women at Leland Stanford University,
of California (representing the West) ; Mrs.
George Gellhorn (Edna Fischel, ’00), rep-
resenting St. Louis and District 10; Mrs.
Learned Hand (Francis Fincke, "97), rep-
resenting New York and the National
Committee; Mrs. Robert Walcott (Mary
Richardson, 06), representing New Eng-
land. The board hopes that Mrs. A. Mor-
ris Carey (Margaret Thomas, ’89) will be
the representative from the Southern Dis-
tricts.
A meeting of the Executive Board of
the Alumnae will be held in Bryn Mawr
on November 19th

RABINDRANETH TAGORE
SYSTEM OF LITERAL MARKING
ADOPTED BY BRYN MAWR
President Thomas explained the new sys-
tem of substituting literal for numerical
grading in chapel, Monday morning, say-
ing in part:
“The study of our college grades was
made by a Faculty Committee of three
(Professor Donnelly as chairman; Profes-
sor Kingsbury, and. Professor Tennent).
This study covered nearly a year, and in-
cluded a careful study of the after careers
of all our Bryn Mawr European Fellows.
It was proved that certain numbers were
not used by the Faculty; that among other
curious things, for instance, very few of
you get the grade of 72, 73, 76, 77, 78. If
your work deserves more than 65 the Fac-
ulty very naturally gives you 70, and does
not pay much attention to the numbers like
67 or 68. It is almost impossible to dis-
criminate between 75 and 70 (72, 73, or
74), or between 75 and 80.
therefore, that numerical grading in be-
tween the great blocks, such as 60, 65, 70,
etc. was worthless. We have now
adopted the ‘literal system’—Highest Credit,
between 95 and 100; H.C. (High Credit),
90 to 94: C. (Credit), 85 to 89; L.C. (Low
Credit), 80 to 84; M. (Merit), 75 to 79;
L.M. (Low Merit), 70 to 74; P. (Passed),
65 to 69; L.P. (Low Passed), 60 to 64; F.
(Failed), below 60—and here we shall give
you a numerical grade to help you to make
up your deficiencies, In computing the
grades, the office is instructed by the Fac-
ulty to count a Low Passed as 62%, a
Passed as 67%, “M” as 77%, and the other
letter grades in like manner. Various test
experiments have been made by calculating
numerically the grades of the first ten
Seniors, and the European Fellows, by the
old and new system and the results esti-
mated in numerical grades seem very much
the same. We believe that our new system
is going to be much more scientific. It is

VARSITY DRAMATICS COMPROMISE
The Varsity Dramatics compromise was
defeated by a vote of 89-54 at the Under-
graduate night.
speaking against the compromise, V. Lid-
dell, '22, argued that class plays could be
made as good publicity as a Varsity play,
skits would be a failure, and
dramatic talent was not plentiful enough
to support credibly three plays, four skits,
and a Glee Club performance.
The plan of having college rings instead
of class rings was unanimously adopted by
the association, in accordance with a mo-
tion made by M. Speer, Junior president.
Miss Speer advocated a college ring, be-
cause it would be cheaper, would save time
and trouble every year, and would be a

TAGORE, EXPLAINS PHILOSOPHY
OF BENGAL VILLAGE MYSTICS
Reads Their Poems. Brown Robed
Indian Contrast to Audience
Clad in his brown Bengali robe, with
a darker brown turban, Rabindranath
Tagore made a picturesque contrast to the
American audience who heard his lecture
in the gymnasium, Friday evening, on “Vil-
lage Mystics of Bengal.” He stood apart,
not only by virtue of his appearance, his
eastern dress, his calm face with the deep,
quiet eyes and long gray hair and beard,
but by the mysticism expounded in his lec-
ture, foreign to the average western train
of thought. His voice was musical, rising
and falling in Oriental cadence.
The idea of infinite love, made mani-
fest in man, underlies the philosophy of the
group of ascetic beggar poets, whose teach-
ing Tagore set forth. “To be born a man
is the greatest privilege given any crea-
ture.” they say, “because God's will in giv-
ing love finds completeness in man’s will
returning that love—and love is the per-
sonal expression of life in all its perfec-
tion.” They sing,
‘{““When shall I meet him, the Man of my
Heart?
* * * * + =
My longing is to meet you, my beloved;
This longing is not only mine, but yours.”
Primitive man, according to Tagore, be-
lieved in gods as forces acting on him from
outside. Then the idea of God’s immanence
developed, tending, however, to become im-
personal and abstract. “This conception,”
he said, “finds votaries only among the
intellectual, who do not feel the need of
love and worship.”
The man who first showed that the per-
fection of God, infinite wisdom and love,
dwells in every human personality, was
Buddha. “To be good is incidental,” he
taught. “To be good is only to reveal the
infinite that lies in the soul.” The value

Hockey Player’s Garden of Verses
(Apologies to R. LS.)
Time to Rise
A birdie with a yellow bill
Hopped upon my window sill;
He could not call me sleepyhead,
The Fifth had pulled me out of bed.
A Thought
It is not very nice to think
: The world is full of meat and drink,
With hockey trainers standing by
And wanting macaroons and pie.
Rain
The rain is raining all around,
It falls on field and tree;
We know it is not wet, because
No yellow flag we see.
Whole Duty of Hockey Players
A hockey player must not speak
When told she is a waddling freak;
Her tie and stockings must be right,
Her teeth should all be screwed in tight.
Play Bridge
Club upon club has sprung up at college,
but still gaps in the system are to be found.
The weighty problem of auction bridge, for
instance, has not been dealt with, and is it
not important that this socially important
talent be organized? Consider the valu-
able practise that could be gained from it
by the major mathematics students in keep-
ing their wits sharpened in between times.
Think of the profitable hours spent by the
Freshmen, coming, as they do, from the
outside world, bringing new sources of
vigor to Bryn Mawr. They, untrammeled
by traditional local interests, burn the mid-
night oil in keeping their minds centered
on those things which will be of impor-
tance in future life. We suggest that all
this scattered talent be unified into a var-
sity bridge team, made up from the groups
already in training, and be coached by the
major mathematics’ department. Might
their motto be, “We live to learn, and learn
to live.”
Keep Off the Grass
The semi-annual appeal must be made,
so we will put it as concisely as possible:
To the student—Avoid the soft turf, it
will lure your thoughts into frivolous by-
ways.
To the “toddler’—Beware the tangled
blades, they will catch your French heels.
To the athlete—Never take short cuts,
you need the exercise of trotting over the
longest route.
To the aesthete—Spare the greensward,
so its spring beauty will be unmarred.
To the college—Keep off the grass, it
needs a rest.

NEW ‘SCHEDULE. roLAss 88

THE COLLEGE NEWS
| The system has as its purpose the akan of congestion of class reunions
necessary when the classes are as numerous as they have been for some time at
Vassar and as they are becoming at Bryn Mawr. The Vassar Alumnae Association
has used this “Dix Schedule” for four years and has found it very successful.
Occasionally a class has wished to come out of its regular order, and in that case,
at Vassar, it has been required to stay off the campus and hold its celebrations
without the aid of the college. After the system is once established reunions come
every five years for each class, each time with three of the classes which were in
college at the same time with it. In four reunions each class will have twice seen
all the classes which were in college with it.
This schedule is read downward for the class reuning in each calendar year,
and across for the calendar years in which each class reunes.
The Board of Directors submits this schedule for your consideration.
matter will be formally brought up at the annual meeting of the Alumnae Associa-
tion. Mrs. Francis will welcome any expressions of, opinions from alumnae or

What Harm?
To the Editor of The College News:
Guests visiting the library may be un-
favorably impressed by “feet aloft on
desks,” yet, after all, we do not arrange
ourselves in the library to be gazed at, but
to do serious study, the fruits of which
may reach the outside world beyond Phila-
delphia. I well remember being taught in
one of the required courses in college that
true concentration cannot be sustained
effectually unless the feet are higher than
the heart. If you believe that we lift our
feet to air our silk stockings or to display
their patterns, may I suggest that most of
us will be willing to take steamer rugs to
throw over them?

Methodist Students Welcomed
To the Editor of The College News:
Whether or not you are a daughter of
John Wesley, I would like through the
columns of the News to extend to you a
cordial welcome to “the little ivied
church on the corner,” St. Luke’s Meth-
odist Episcopal Church, Penn and Mont-
gomery Avenues. Methodists of the col-
lege are especially invited to be present
on the first Sunday morning of every
second month at Holy Communion. The
first of these will be'on November 7th.
Further plans for co-operation will be
made through the new denominational
committee of which Miss Elizabeth Vin-
cent, ‘23, is the Methodist representative.
I feel that it is vital for every student
to keep in personal touch with the
church, and I will therefore be glad of
any assistance. The parsonage is next
to the church on Penn Avenue; tele-
phone Bryn Mawr 273 W. The hours of
worship are: Sunday School, 9.45; morn-
ing worship, 10.45; young peoples’ meet-
ing, 7.00; evening worship, 7.45.

“Scraps and Scribbles” Published
The first issue of “Scraps and Scrib-
bles,” the Model School newspaper, was
brought out on November 4th. The
editor-in-chief is Elizabeth Wilbur, Class
VI.
“Scraps and Scribbles” is a two-page
mimeograph sheet, which was founded
last year by Fredericka de Laguna, who
was its first editor. The first issue this
Fall contains two poems, alumnae and
athletic notes, two contributions from
the primary, and a long reminiscence by
B. Sparkman, called “Do You Remem-
ber?”
“Prehistoric Man,” a poem by Fred-
erika de Laguna, is quoted below:
“The Prehistoric Monkey-Man
Lived many years ago.
In every single living thing
He had a dreaded foe.
“He made axes, hatchets, cooking pots
And hammers out of stone,
And many curious, useful things
Of antler or of bone.
“We do not know just how he lived,
His history is a mess,
But from the things’ he left behind,
His daily life we guess.”

the domination of the whites.
BENGAL POET AT BRYN MAWR

of Buddha’s preaching was shown by the
fact that it was not followed by stagna-
tion of life, but by the development of in-
stitutions, arts and sciences.
The beggar mystics who carry on the
philosophy, belong, said Tagore, to the
95 per cent. of British subjects in India,
with less than elementary education. They
know their small value in the world, but
believe they have found wisdom and hap-
piness in coming close to the heart of the
great lover. They compare themselves in
song to the vessels half filled, which sup-
port the maidens when they swim in the
river, while men of distinction are the full
vessels, which stay useless on the shore.
They feel themselves “flutes, through which
God's breath of love has been breathed in
music.”
Tagore told at dinner with the English
Club and at a reception after the lec-
ture, aboyt his boys’ school in Shantine-
ketan, the first one in India with a self-
government system. The boys have their
own court and mete out punishments to
offenders, the worst being complete os-
tracism, when the boy even eats apart from
his companions.
J. B. Pond, head of the Lyceum Bureau,
in New York, accompanied Tagore to Bryn
Mawr.
Recent statistics show that more men in
Harvard are specializing in English litera-
ture than in any other subject, while eco-
nomics stand second in popularity, and
chemistry third.

defeated the Sophomores, winning their
way into the finals in ‘the second game of
the preliminaries last Thursday. The game
was hotly contested throughout, though
both teams showed poor team work,
The struggle started with a goal for ’21
almost immediately, by D. McBride, but
after a considerable scrimmage the Sopho-
mores countered goal by C. McLaughlin,
after a run down a clear field. With the
score tied, both teams seemed in a dead-
lock. Time and time again M. Adams.
brought the ball down the field, only to
meet with ’21’s strong defense, and to have
it lost by wild shooting of her team.
Finally the Seniors’ greater aggressiveness
availed them, so that C. Bickley was able
to push in a second goal, and not long
afterwards the Seniors scored again by the
combined efforts of the team.
The second half began with greater de-
termination on the part of the Sophomores,
so that meeting the unflagging defense of
'21, every shot was fought for. Again M.
Adams proved herself the chief supporter
of the Sophomore forward line, at length
scoring with a clean shot from the outfield.
Throughout the rest of the game ’23’s de-
fense proved impenetrable, H. Rice many
times stopping E. Cecil’s fast dribbles
down the field. On the whole, the playing
of the Seniors was even, but unextraordi-
nary, while that of the Sophomores, at first
unorganized, improved immensely in the
second half, ‘

RED FOURTH WINS WAY TO FINALS
CONQUERS ’23 IN PRELIMINARIES
In the last game of the preliminaries
on Fourth, last Thursday, ’21 defeated '23
with a score of 5-0. The Green team was
outplayed from the start, and never seri-
ously threatened the Red goal.
During the first half the play was almost
entirely in the Green territory, and it was
only through the strong defense of K.
Strauss at center-half, and H. Dunbar,
full-back, that more goals were not scored.
S. McDaniel proved quick on the forward
line, which was messy and showed a lack
of organization. J. Brown, full-back,
starred for the Seniors, proving to be the
strength of the left side of the field, while
K. Johnston was good at right inside,
scoring two out of the five goals.

JUNIOR VICTORY ‘COMES A AFTER.
HARD EXTRA PERIOD OF PLAY
Eliminates Freshmen First Team
Held to a 3-3 tie at the end of the second
half, '22 battered through the Freshmen
defense for the decisive goal in an extra
five-minute period, and eliminated '24 in
the second game of the first team series last
Friday.
After several minutes of play in center-
field H. Nicoll, '22, found a hole in the
light blue defense and tore through for
the first goal. Depending on the speedy
co-operation of M. Faries and F. Begg, ’24
took the offensive and kept the play in
Sophomore territory, B. Howe tying the
score with a clear shot. Owing to the
superb blocking of E. Donohue, Junior
captain, the Freshmen were unable to score
again until the end of the period, when
F. Begg evaded the full-back and shot a
goal, Receiving a pass from the center
bully, B. Howe made a long run through
a broken field, and shoved in the third
Freshman tally within a half minute after
their second. The half ended with the
score 3-1 in favor of '24.
In the second half the stéed and per-
sistent interference of F. Bliss and M.
Krech, Junior halves, checked the onslaught
of the fast Freshmen wings, and kept the
play in the center of the field. E. Finch,
'22, right wing, tied the score with two
goals, and made the deciding tally in the
extra five-minute period. Except for A.
Nicol, '22, forwards were slow getting
started. ’24’s attack was speedy, but their
passing and shooting ineffectual at the
circle,

FRESHMEN CONQUER '22 ON 4TH
Win 3-0 in Easy Battle
Defeating the Juniors 3-0, ’24 crashed
through to victory on Fourth, last Friday,
in the second game of the preliminaries,
The first game was a tie.
The Freshman forward line was speedy
and outplayed the Dark Blue line which
was slow and lacked team work, taking
the ball down time and again only to lose
it to the Freshman full-backs. E. Brown,
at half-back, played a good game for the
Juniors, blocking well and covering the
center of the field, while H. Stevens was
good on the forward line.
Line-up—1922: H. Woodruff, A. Gable,
H. Stevens, E. Brush, H. Fountain, S.
Kirkbride, E. Hall, E. Brown, M. Speer,
V. Grace, O. Pell.

Freshmen Win Deciding Game
In the final game of the Third team
preliminaries last Monday, '24 triumphed
over the Juniors with a 3-0 score. The
Freshman forward line, with M. Moliter
as star, was fast, and their defense was
strong, while '22 was weak in passing and
shooting, and lacked co-ordination.
Line-up—1922: Gable, Hand, Burgess,
Rupert, Hall, Hay, Gardner, Yeatman,
Rhett, Pell. Substitute—Stevens for Hall.
1924: McRae, Palmer, Ford, Hale,

DARK BLUE BEATS WAY TO FINALS
OVER FRESHMAN SECOND
Outclasses '24 From Start —
Hammering the Freshman defense with
a steady persistency, ’22 walked away with
the last game of the preliminaries on Sec-
ond, last Thursday, with a 6-0 score. The
Dark Blue outclassed the Light Blue at
every point, and was able to score almost
at will.
The Junior team jumped ‘into the lead
with a goal by A. Dom early in the first
half, and for the rest of the period no
further score was made. J. Palache starred
for '22 at full-back, covering the right side
of the field, while M. Voorhees was speedy
on the forward line, taking the ball down
and shooting well for goal.
During the second half '22 scored almost
at will, making five out of the total six
goals in this period. The Freshman for-
ward line was speedy but lacked team
work, and shot wildly in the circle.

In a fast game characterized by good
passing and clever team work, the Junior
Third triumphed over the Light Blue 3-2,
last Wednesday.
down well, scoring the three Junior goals,
while E. McNeely, '24, proved the only ob-
stacle to the onslaught. In the hard fight-
ing around the goal H. Jennings was the
mainstay of the Dark Blue defense, and
B. McRae dribbled fast for the Freshmen,
but frequently lost the ball in the circle.
Light Blue Reverses First Defeat
Fighting fiercely against one defeat, '24
turned the tables on '22 with a 3-2 score
on Saturday morning, in the second game
of the preliminaries, in which both teams
showed scrappy playing and lack of organ-
ization.

SOPHOMORES HOLD SENIORS TO
BARE VICTORY ON SIXTH
(Special to the College News.)
With the Red Moth team scoring 1 to 0
against the Griffin’s green players, the first
sixth team match game in the history of
Bryn Mawr was staged last Wednesday
before a wildly enthusiastic grandstand.
The goal on which hung the fate of the
Senior sixth was scored by K. Cowen, cen-
ter forward, during the first half of the
game. As the ball crashed between the
goal posts, cheers of wild enthusiasm broke
from '21’s section, where L. Reinhardt, col-
lege song leader; E. Cope, president of the
Athletic Association, and E. Donnelly, with
the team mascot, were among the ardent
rooters for the red-skirted sixth.
Sophomore fans, no less enthusiastic,
spurred their team on with cheer and song,
but an impermeable defense, Goddard and
Gates starring, proved the green’s trump
card, and the score was held 1-0 for the
Seniors.
Line-up—1921: F. Kniffin, T. Williams,
H. Farrell, K. Cowen, E. Sheppard, D.
Wycoff, E. Harris, D. Lubin, L. Cadot, M.
Weisman, L. Wilson.

‘RED FORWARD LINE PROVES Too.
_ STRONG FOR 1923 ON SECOND
Elizabeth Kales Stars .
» Unable to resist the rapid onslaught of
21, the Sophomore second fell before the
red team in the final game of the prelimi-
naries on Friday, ending with a score of
13-1.
At the outset '23 saved its only id
shot by M. Schwartz, right wing, after J.
Spurney, right half, backing the formidable
red forward line had registered the first
score. From this point on the play cen-
tered before the Sophomore goal. Scrappy |
fighting on the part of the green defense,
M. Bradley and E. Child blocking the goal,
characterized the game. Although A. Tay-
lor, at left, fully proved a sturdy opponent,
the* 1923 forward line evaded her only to
miss a goal through careless aiming. At
the end of the first half the score was 5-1.
\E. Kales, right inside, starred during the
second half, repeatedly carrying the ball
spectacularly to a goal. E. Jay, right wing,
with rapid passing, strengthened the right
side of the field and made it the most pow-
erful. '23, on the whole, was disorganized,
half-back and full-backs overlapping, and
failed to make a concerted attack.
Line-up—1921: E. Jay, E. Kales,****** L.
Beckwith,** M. Smith*** (for C. Mottu,
captain), H. James,* J. Spurney.* J. Pey-
ton, M. Morton (for E. Mills), C. Garri-

RED THIRD WINS WAY TO FINALS
Defeats ’23 in Two Games
Playing a hard, fighting game, the Senior
third won the first game of the prelimi-
naries last Wednesday, defeating '23 by a
score of 4-3. The Senior full-backs played
a strong game, repeatedly pushing the for-
wards into the goal, where they failed to
take adantage of their many opportunities
to score. J. Lattimer, '2],.dribbled speed-
ily, taking the ball down again and again,
while M. Holt, at full-back, was the
strength of the Sophomore team, often
stopping the rush of the Red forwards.
Seniors Win Second Match 3-0
In the last game of the preliminaries,
Saturday morning, the Senior third de-
feated the Sophomores with a 3-0 score in
a quick passing game. In the first half
’21’s strong forward line was in evidence,
winning two goals in quick succession,
through E. Collin’s clever work at wing.
The Sophomore defense then rallied, and
with K. Strauss proving the mainstay, held
the Seniors to one more goal.
Line-up—1921: J. Lattimer, M. Smith,
M. Archbald, V. Evans, E. Collins, K.
Woodward, M. Morton, C. Barton, E.
Godwin, M. S. Goggin, H. Stone. Substi-
tue—H. Hill for J. Lattimer (second
game).

ROBERT CURTHOSE, OF NORMANDY,|
SUBJECT OF BOOK BY DR. DAVID
“Robert Curthose, Duke of Nor-
mandy,” is the subject of a recent book
by Dr. Charles Wendell David, Associate
Professor of European History, pub-
lished by the Harvard University Press
in October. : :
“Dr. David has made his own re-
searches and drawn his own conclusions
directly from the sources when the evi-
dence permitted, thus providing a volume
that will probably rank as the definite
life of Robert,” says a review of the book.
Robert,. eldest son of William the Con-
queror, was popularly known as _ the
“Sleepy Duke.”
“By placing Robert in the setting of
his time, the author presents a compact
survey of western Europe at the end of
the eleventh and beginning of the twelfth
centuries. He never loses sight of the
larger setting of his subject despite the
necessity of weaving an intricate tale.
“For the serious student of history,
the volume is provided with copious foot-
notes that will guide him through the
original and the secondary material, with
succinct discussions of debated points.
There are also seven appendices; a map
and a reproduction of Abbot Sugar’s
window complete the scolarly apparatus
of the volume.”
Dr. David’s book is now in the New
Book Room of the Library.

they gain confidence in the new system,
will be anxious to compare their numerical
grades with those of earlier classes grad-
uating under the old system, I am. sure
that, if desired, the grades of the first
ten and the European Fellows for three}
years will be computed numerically, each
literal grade being weighed by the designated
number.

SELF-GOVERNMENT CONFERENCE.
_ Katherine Gardner, '22, and Marynia
Foote, '21, attended the Intercollegiate
Student Government Conference at Elmira,
N. Y., last week-end. The Junior dele-
gate will report on the conference at the
Self-Government meeting next’ month.
The honor system, cut system and chap-
eron rules were among the most impor-
tant questions discussed at the conference,
at which fifty colleges, situated east of the
Mississippi, were represented. The second
delegate was chosen to represent the Un-
dergraduate Association because many
questions coming under that association
here are governed by student government
associations in other colleges.
“IMPORTANCE OF RELIGION IN
SERVICE,” DR. MUTCH’S TOPIC
Dr. Andrew Mutch, of the Bryn Mawr
Presbyterian Church, speaking in chapel
last Sunday evening, defended the purely
spiritual function of the church which is
so often the butt of the criticism of social
reformers. “There is great truth,” said
Doctor Mutch, “in Wesley’s saying that
‘No man was ever converted in cold feet.’
But social reformers often forget that
when you have made the world fit to live
in you have not necessarily made man fit
to live in the world.
“If woman is no longer a mere chattel
of brutal men it is because of Jesus
Christ,” Doctor Mutch declared. “The best
friends of the unfortunate have always
been the men and women of religious mo-
tive, the followers of Jesus Christ.
“Life develops from within,” said Doctor
Mutch, in conclusion. “It takes a high-
souled man to move the masses even into a
cleaner stye._ Social service always has to
go deeper than outward circumstance.”
COMMUNITY CENTER OPENS CAMP
“This past summer, from July 16th to
August 16th, the Community Center had
its first regular summer camp,” says the
Center in its first issue. Camp Hilldale
was the name of the camp, which was
situated on a hill above Brandywine
Creek, out near West Chester.

ing. Mr. Higginbottom spoke at Bryn
Mawr in 1914, and again last November.
He has studied at Princeton and Amherst.
Sent to take charge of the leper colony
at Allahabad, Mr. Higginbottom recognized
India’s need for modern agricultural meth-
ods to make her people self-supporting, and
founded the school which now has a hun-
dred resident students. The Maharaja of
Gwalior recently placed Mr. Higginbottom
in charge of the agricultural developments
in his province, and sets aside $25,000 a
year for Mr. Higginbottom’s use in this
work, On the Allahabad farm Brahmans
of the highest caste work side by side with
the lowest caste men. The crops on Mr.
Higginbottom’s farm are said to net three
or four times as many bushels an acre as
those on the adjoining native farms.
TWO-WEEK CAMPAIGN WILL
FOLLOW FINANCE VESPERS
The annual Finance Vespers to explain
the organizations on the Christian Asso-
ciation budget, was led by E. Hobdy, ’22,
in Taylor Hall, last Sunday, and will be
followed by a two-week campaign.
Octavia Howard, '22, spoke first on the
Federation Secretary of Foyer for foreign
students in Geneva, Switzerland.
Bates House, which is entirely supported
by Bryn Mawr, and the Bryn Mawr Com-
munity Centre, Dean Smith stressed as the
two organizations for which the Christian
Association is the chief contributor.
Miss Hartshorn, a teacher from Miss
Tsuda’s school, Japan, illustrated the Chris-
tian influence in the school by telling of
the change in per cent of Christians enter-
ing and leaving it. Of the entering stu-
dents 15 per cent. are Christians, said Miss
Hartshorn, 25 per cent. have heard of
Christianity, and the rest are ignorant.
When they leave school usually 50 per cent.
are Christians, and of the graduates still
more. Miss Abby Kirk, principal of Miss
Kirk’s school and Greek tutor at Bryn
Mawr, read a letter from Miss Tsuda’s
school, appealing for an American teacher.
PRESTON NEEDS MORE WORKERS
Two students are much needed at the
Preston Reading Room, in Haverford, to
teach cooking, on Monday afternoons.
Several more would also be useful in the
play hour with the children, according to
E. Bliss, '21, chairman of the Social Serv-
ice Committee.

dergraduate conference committee consists
