ENDING FIFTH YEAR COMMUNITY
CENTER SHOWS GREAT PROGRESS
At the expiration of its fifth year the
Community Center Association, of which
Dean Smith is president, will hold a meet-
ing April 15 in the Bryn Mawr fire house
at 8 P. M., for the annual election of offi-
cers. There will be a special exhibition,
in which each club of the Center is to
repeat something out of its year’s
All workers are invited.
Starting in the rear of the public school
in charge of Dean Smith in the fall of
1916, the Community Center outgrew its

library with 890 borrowers, of whom 584

FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD Is
REAL PURPOSE OF PRAYER
Dr. Melish Condemns Those Who
Pray for Fulfillment of Desires
“Elijah on Mount Carmel asked for fire
from heaven to confound his enemies;
Jesus on Calvary asked for fellowship with
God,” said Dr. Melish, pastor of Holy
Trinity Church, Brooklyn, speaking in
chapel last Sunday evening. “I think that
our spiritual pilgrimage is from Carmel
to Calvary.”
This comparison can be made a test of
prayer, Dr. Melish went on to say. Those
who stand on Carmel demand the fulfill-
ment of their desires, and when their pray-
ers are not answered they doubt the exist-
ence or the power of God. Those on Cal-
vary ask a share in the redemption of the
world—“some part in that great work
which is making for the incoming of the
Kingdom of God.”
“Prayer is the highest form of intellec-
tual life, according to President Elliott,”
said Dr. Melish. “Have we such an un-
derstanding of the world and what it needs
that we can test God by submitting to Him
our plans for its betterment? What we
should ask from Him is the strength to
bear and the courage to persevere, for that
is truly sharing in the purposes of God.”

RHODES SCHOLARS INFLUENTIAL
(Continued from Page 1)
Through these men the influence of Oxford
has been exerted in a direct way over
American education, as in the tutorial sys-
tem at Princeton, and through the univer-
sities over public opinion and thought.
A change lately made in the manner of
selecting Rhodes scholars has greatly sim-
plified the qualifications, and placed the re-
sponsibility for the selection in the hands
of ex-Rhodes scholars in every State.
SILVER BAY DELEGATES LISTED
(Continued from Page 1)
In athletics, Bryn Mawr has always taken
an active part, winning first place in the
swimming meet last year through the pro-
ficiency of H. Rice, 23, and A. Smith, ’23.
Bryn Mawr also won the competition for
the best song. A boat ride with Vassar and
several picnics were among the other forms
of amusement.
