LIBERAL MEETING CONDEMNS
- COMPULSORY CHAPEL

Smith " Explatas National
League for’ Women Voters .

Chapel attendance, reasons for and
against compulsory chapel and suggestions
. for an effective alternative were the basis
of lively informal ‘discussion at the Liberal
Club, meeting held last Saturday evening.
The outcome was a recommendation to the
Chrigtian Association that statistics be
taken ffi” regard to, the number of people
willing to pledge ‘themselves to support
chapel, and a sense of the meeting to find
how many favored a chapel before a stu-
dents’ building. ~The fesult of this sense
of the meeting ‘was twelve in favor; six
against, and eight not voting.

Chief reasons for non-attendance at
chapel, it was decided, are: (1) similarity
between the chapel sérvice and lectures, of
which ‘there are already too many at Col-
lege; (2) the unattractiveness and discom-
fort of the present chapel ; (3) carelessness
of people who are really willing to go to
chapel; (4) the fact that there are a num-
ber of people who do not want to go to
chapel because they get no benefit from it,
or because they do not go to church at
home, and (5) frequent disappointment in
chapel setmons.

The worst kind of compulsory chapel, it
was agreed, is that of dragging in people
from the halls to make an audience after
the service has begun. Giving up chapel
. altogether would be harmful to the reputa-
tion of the College, and wotld probably
ruin the possibility of a chapel being
donated. As there was a strong feeling
against forcing attendance on those who do
not want to go to chapel, a sort of volun-
Oe pledge of attendance for a certain

Smith, professor of economics, spoke to

branch of the National League for Women.

Voters, which held a meeting tonight to
hear the report of a: State conference lately
held in Wilkes-Barre. Students over

twenty-one, said Mrs. Smith, who would}

be interested in the local political ques-
tions studied by the Bryn Mawr branch, or
who would like to bring the questions rela-
tive to their own States, are eligihle for
membership in the League. The College
branch, which now includes only members
of the faculty, would be glad to have the
students join them, Mrs. Smith announced.
Meetings are to be held about once every
six weeks throughout: the year.

_ It was decided before meeting broke
up that a study offthe. Far Eastern
questions germane to (he Washington Con-
ference should be dis®yssed at the next
meeting of the Club. _

CYCLIC FORM MUSIC BROUGHT

TO PERFECTION BY MOZART



PACKED AUDIENCE IN CHAPEL



Illustrations made from Piano Quartet ;

“Mozart marks the, culmination of the
classic form in music, and_his position
ts comparable only to that of Raphael
in painting,” began Mr. Thomas Whit-
ney Surrett, director of the Department
of Music, in opening his second lecture
recital in Taylor Hall last Monday eve-
ning. The lecture, with Mozart-for its
subject, was illustrated by the Piano
Quartet in G Miror, played by Mr.
Horace Alwyn, associate professor of

music; Mr. Thaddeus Rick, of the Rich
String Quartet, and Mr. Romain Verney
and Mr. Hans Kindler, of the Philadel-
phia Symphony Orchestra.

“Between Bach and. Mozart. an im-
* continued
Mr. Surrett. “The music of Bach is
that of a great thinker, but with Haydn,
who followed, the element of folk-music

was introduced. Moreover, Haydn was

the chief agent in creating the cyclic]-

form of composition, wheré three or
four parts are put together successively
to make up the whole, and it was this
type of music in which Mozart excels
and which he brings to the point of per-
fection. People say that Mozart is ‘too
simple’ because he gives them nothing
of the modern sensations in music—his

themes are polished, conscious, elegant,
> .

full of artistry—they fail to appreciate
the full significance of the rhythmic en-
tity of his composition. Finally his har-
clear, pellucid,
well defined and in_all he is completely
the objective composer and reveals noth-
ing of himself.”
In introduction to the playing of the
quartet, Mr. Surrett explained the form
of the composition. “All symphonies
are monodic mainly, though in places
they dre distinctly polyphonic,” he as-
serted, and went on to explain the ele-
ments of the three movements. The first
movement of a sonata or symphony
starts with .the exposition of the two
themes of the composition, then. develops
them through the use of theit rhythmic
possibilities, and ends finally with the
restatement of the themes
changed and amplified forms. “AJl good
music must get .somewhere,” said Mr.

Surrett, “and its development is vital
when a great man does it.”

‘Mr. Surrett then analyzed the first
movement of the quartet by having parts
played to illustrate-the treatment of the
themes. Similarfy, he analyzed- the -sec-
ond and third: movements and showed

im their

that the second is slow, sentimental, and

slightly “ornate, and very lovely, while
the last is a rondo, which requires care-
ful attention for full appreciation as _ it
contains “more things than. meet. the
ear.”

The program concluded with the play-

ling of the quartet by Mr. Alwyn, Mr.

Rich, Mr. Verney, and Mr. Kindler,

who drew a deeply felt applause from

the audience.
The next lecture recital, which will

deal-with Brahms, will be held in, thé

essential characteristics of our civilization
must be considered. “There are three facts
which we cannot escape,”
“These are:

Intelligent Curiosity Stressed

-To counterbalance the effects of such a
civilization, culture must develop individual

character, permit free use of faculties, -

which would otherwise be cramped by too
rigid a specialization, and give a certain
order to a society, which tends toward
disorganization.

“Develop the habit of thinking well,”
said Monsieur Maurice, _ describing -the
methods by which’ such a “culture” could
be -obtained. “Descartes, himself; found
it took a life time to learn reason. We are
unable to think, we cannot -collect, weigh,
and organize our ideas. We reason, to
quote a certain soldier, like a cracked drum.
Intelligent: curiosity will also aid us in
building up culture, it will show us what
we know and what we do not know. Cul-
ture, furthermore, must be not only an
external thing; it must influence our more
intimate life,”

Owing to the loss of his notes Monsieur
Maurice ‘changed his ‘subject; originally
planned to be “La Conversation.”

INTERCOLLEGIATE MAGAZINE
MAKES FIRST APPEARANCE
(Reprinted from the Wellesley News)

The efforts of students from various col-
leges*to combine the best work from their
literary magazines into one number each
month ‘has finally resulted in the Jntercol-
legiate Magazine, the first number of which
has just been issued by the Princeton Uni-
versity Press. This magazine is the result
of the efforts of Ruth Metzger, editor*of
the Wellesley College Magazine in 1920-21,
who proposed its formation last year at
the Intercollegiate Conference of Seeing pend
Editors.

The magazine, however, is not as yet an
official organ of the colleges-and has been
issued as an independent venture: Its pur-
pose is to put on the news stands a college
magazine .which will contain the best ex-
amples of. sunder-~- * syerthought Prince-'
ton, Radcliffe, Oberlin, Harvard, ae Wel-
lesley are associated in the first number,
which is made up of one-act. plays, verse,
and essays. A. short poem by Ruth

ard, and two examples of free verse by an
author who signs herself “Kent,” are the

Justice—Pure and Simple

Once unwrapped from its foldings of
sentimentality and prejudice the question
of continuing chapel seems to rest simply

&
on..whether the majority want chapel: or

not; and by wanting chapel we mean ac-
tively wanting it enough to attend at least
two-thirds of the” time, rather than the
passive and perfectly unresponsible state in
which so many people voted for it last

year. If, on these grounds, the majority

" vote for compulsory chapel, that is to say

compulsory two Sundays out of three, or
whatever ratio- they should decide, it is no
more or less than just that the minority
abide and act by this decision—this is the
only principle on which community life can
be’ carried on, on this principle the Under-
graduate Association functions and it is
this - principle which raises. Bryn Mawr
from a boarding school to a self-governing

_ College. The: same thing is as true in case

that the majority votes for no chapel, the
minority must abide and act by ‘that de-
cision. “In either case we have faith to
believe that the minorigy will have enough
-of the instinct for'fair play to carry out

~-the-decision—as-honestly—and-thoroughly as

though it were their. own, and enough en-
thusiasm for their convictions to leave no
stone unturned to persuade the majority of
their érror so that as long as the question
lasts it may be a vital one constantly open
to correction.

The Balance

Now, however, in a brief half.semester, the

A Current Impression.

Though. he does_not oppose it, Serfator
Hitchcock, of the Foreign Committee Re-
lations, sees no. reason for enthusing over
the, four power treaty for ten years of

peace in the Pacific, contracted by the Con-
ference after four «weeks in session. Cur-

rent opinion sets January 1 as a. possible
date for the conclusion of the Conference,
but it is hard to believe this possible, con-
sidering the little it has accomplished of
importance, if even a few of the high hopes
of its early days are to be realized.

Three of the four articles of the treaty
which Congress’ will assuredly ratify, deal
with comparatively minor points, for which
the Covenant of the League of Nations
makes provision as far as Great Britain,
France and Japan are concerned. The last
the Anglo-
Japanese Alliance of 1911. Even in- this
the United States is party to an agreement
already binding to the others:

On the other hand, there still exists at
the Conference indecision concerning Japan
and the naval ratio program, the realization
hopes - for «Shantung, Great
Britain and the submarines, France and
Italy on sea armament, and the Siberian

article, however, terminates

situation. Most. urgent remains a Far
Eastern settlement. The treaty at present
before Congress is one step in the direction
of peace. How much further the Confer-
ence will go only/time will tell.

“Eighty years ago W. H. Seward proph-
esied in the Senate that the Pacific Ocean
would become the chief theatre of the
world’s events,” began Dr. Luce: “Now
that that day jis here,’” he went on, “‘t is
most important to consider our affinity with
China. We are, alike, democratic in spirit,
pacifistic in temperament, possessed of a
sense of humor. Together we make up a
third of the civilization of the world, and
so inevitably control its destinies. Finally,
China is prepared for the large part she
will have to play, for in the last decade and
a half she has made more progress than
any other nation and such is her moral
fibre and potential mental ability that notte |
ing can withstand her.”

TERENCE’S “PHORMIO” TO BE
PRESENTED BY STUDENTS
AT BROWN ~~ *



(Reprinted from: the Conmecticet orale
News)

ihe Sock and Buskin, of Brown Univer-
sity, has a distinct novelty in store. The:
college actors plan to produce Terence’s
“Phormio,” a comedy, Greek in origin, and
later adopted by the famous Latin play-
wright-to-make-a—Roman-theatrical-_holiday.
it will -be done in English from a text
adopted and prepared by Professor John
F. ‘Greene, of Brown University, and. ‘is
expected to be one of the most interesting
performances which the Sock and Buskin
will give during its present Season “on the
campus,” ;

“The project of. the Sock and Buskin to
produce the ‘Phormio’ of Terence in Eng-
lish dress may seem to: some an attempt
to revive the dead,” said Professor Greene.
“We hardly think it that. The Sock and
Buskin lays no claim to miraculous powers
and, what is more, has no need of them.
in this .case. The ‘Phormio’ will be its
own excuse and defence. Of course it will
have an historical interest for those who

{are students of the development of the

drama, but we are sure that it has an in-
terest or a charm even-for those who take
the drama or literature ever so lightly—for
the tired. business man or the overworked
collese een... s.r

“The ‘Phormio’ was written in Greek and
performed at Athens between 300 B. C. and
260 B. C. It was deyjised to entertain a
cosmopolitan city and succeeded so well
that Terence, the Roman playwright,
adopted it for the Roman stage in. the Latin
dress. 100 years tater. Only the Latin
adaptation is in existence today.

“It is distinctly a comedy of manners,
like ‘She Stoops-to Conquer’ or ‘The School
of Scandal.’ Like those. plays, it is, of
course, colored by the timé~and-place- in
which it was first produced; also like them
it has a general human quality that makes
it true and acceptable in all times and
places.

-INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF
_ WORKING WOMEN DESCRIBED

_Dr. Explains ‘Work of
Kings Em at Geneva

Specially Contributed by
" Dr. Susan Kingsbury





When : thirty-five. delegates assemblec
in Geneva. on October 17 for -the Sec
- ond International Congress of Working
Women there came together a group of
women of great distinction. And toa
“ visitor to whom'was extended the great
sprivilege of sitting through the Con-
gress the power and ability shown by
‘these delegates throughout the Congress
was extremely encouraging and inspiring.

The outstanding . work of this Con-
_ Bress is the formation of an~interna-
* tional federation of working women as
ca permanent organization, with a con-
stitution acceptable to all countries. It
has set as its object the promotion of
trade- -union organization among women,
the development of an international pol-
icy, especially in consideration ‘of the
needs of women and children, and the
promotion of the appointment of*women
to represent organized working women
on all organizatigns and committees
“dealing with the questions affecting the
welfare of workers. As in Washington
the Congress has this year met just
preceding the International Labor Con-
ference of the League of Nations, in
the agenda, in so far as it»affected the
welfare and rights of women and chil-
dren, and its recommendations should
not, and we prophesy will not, be with-
-out great force. Composed as it was of
thirty-five delegates from eleven coun-
tries, with three other countries repre-
sented by visiting delegates, and stand-
ing for the,.working women of thirty-
seven affiliated countries: which were uny
able to send delegates because of pov-
erty and unemployment, its dicta must
‘be listened to, if not in this labor con-
ference, surely by the governments of
the .world.

As one has been able to sit through|

the pletfary sessions and the meetings
of the commissions of the labor confer-
ence now being held at Geneva, in which
so far each discussion has dealt with
agricultural questions affecting women
and children, one realizes the necessity
for international combination by the
_working women to sécure not gnly hu-
mane legislation, but legislation essen-
_ tial to the future economic welfare of
the__wor]d, not sto mention—its—social
needs.
Disarmament Resolutions: Adopted
“Considering the permanency of the Fed-
eration as the most important work of the
Conference,* the second accomplishment of
significance is perhaps that of the adoption
of resolutions on disarmament, and so
strong is the conviction of the Congress

that action for disarmament is essential.

for the safety of civilization, that it is
sending a delegate, Miss Kate Manicom,
to Washington to convey its resolution.
The business consisted of three sections;
(1) adoption of the constitution and perma-
nent organization of federation ; (2) the
reports: from each nation on the adoption
_— of the Washington conventions of 1919, on
the eight-houf day, maternity insuranee and
protection, night -work—-for women ~and
‘young people, unemployment, age of em-
ployment for young: people; (3) reports of
the commission.
_ The. resolutions adopted by the Comores
present practical measures for solution of
some of the. many industrial probleffs. (1)
A resolution demanding immediate atten-
tion concerns unemployment, it declares the
’ crisis mainly due to international causes,
and urges first concerted action for stabil-
ization of the exchanges and extension of
credits; (2) provision of work for unem-
ployed by collective (that is national) ac-
tion in order that production may be. fot

hours and abolition of overtime work; (4) | -
--an ad interim withdrawal of children from
"industry and fen for the teaching of

‘captain),

“use and not for profit; (3) reduction of :

these children,, at the samie tinfé supplying

them with maintenance; (5) exploration of |.
| Possibilities : ‘of employment for women, in-|.

| cluding therein schemes. of training ahd
new equipment for ‘women workers, not
only in domestic work, but in new kinds
of employment; and finally, (6) it declares
against wage reductions which “aggravate
the difficulties by decreasing the purchasing
powers of the workers,” and for mainte-
nance as an emergency action by the state
of the workers.

The introductory paragraph to the Pao:
tion on agricultural question sounds the

keynote for-all measures recommended, in-|

deed it might be called the creed- of the
Conference; “our object in, the organization

of labor is to cause all inequalities be-

tween workers of all nations and all classes
to. disappear.” The pronouncements are
then, for agricultural . workers, first, an
eight-hour. day; second, protection of.
women before and after childbirth; third,
prohibition of night work and protection in
unhealthy occupations; fourth, provisions |;
for extended education for young people,
lengthening the school year in rural dis-
tricts, and introduction of technical courses
and schools and, fifth, proper housing con-
ditions for agricultural workers, the’ right
to combine, and insurance against sickness,
accident and old age.

At the present moment one cannot speak
with finality concerning the International
Labor Conference, and what may be its
action with regard to these various ques-
tions. The outlook is not very encourag?
ing. Modified recommendations and con-
ventions will doubtless be passed, but the

indication at presént is that they will be.
less

‘progressive than ‘the — resolutions
adopted by the congress of working
women, and even than those recommended
by the international labor office. However
that may be, this: International Federation
of Working Women has set itself a task,
and it is all the more necessary that it
should be supported by all the working
women of the world and it pleads for the
confidence and sympathy of all ‘women. in
its appeal for international understanding
and co-operation for cessation of war,
abolition of armaments, restoration of
peaceful relations, and -establishment of
normal and helpful conditions of life and

of labor.

IN THE NEW BOOK ROOM.

Dangérous Ages, the newest book of
Rose Macaulay, author of Potterism, is

full of the author’s preoccupation with

human relations between members of
families, friends, and social groups.
The only other fiction work on the shelf

this ‘week is Alice Addams which, being.

by Booth Tarkington, needs no description.

Viscount Bryce’s new twa-volume study
of Modern Democracies is the first of two
intensely interesting books on political sub-
. As the work of the most brilliant
authority on Democratic government now
living, who is also one of the gteatest
travelers, and has gained his knowledge
from first hand observation as well’ as

from diligent—study,-it--is--bound—te—be—an-

indispensable book to serious ‘students of

- | politics. *

Another volume - which might (whether
it should or not) have a more popular
appeal, is R. W. Postgate’s Revolution, a
series of brief explanatory articles serving
as introductions to historical’ revolution-
ary documents of all great movements since
the French Revolution.

There is a book, “Producing in Little
Theaters,” on the new book shelf, which
future class play committees will hail with
joy. In it Clarence Statton has concretely
put down the*canons of amateur produc-
tion, adding in his appendix a list of 100
long and 100 short plays suitable for ama-
teur casts. The chapter titles will give

%@isome idea of -the practical suggestions

which ‘this. book: gives: “Choosing the
“Rehearsing the Play,” “Artistic
Amateur Settings,” “Creating the Stage
Picture,” “Costumes and — “Light-
ing,” etc. It should not only bé read for
general information, but put into practical
use. °

The American Association for Internat-|

ional Reconciliation has donated a most
interesting book to the library, “The Dis-|!
closures’ from Germany.” In it are in-
cluded the’“Lichnowsky Memorandum,” the
“Letters of Dr. uehion,” and an essay,
“The Dawn in Germany.” The “Lichnow-
_|sky Memorandum” is particularly enlight-
ening as the utter rejection by a German
prince of the old school, and once. ambas-
sador to Great Britain, of all the argu-
ments advanced. in justification of Ger-
many’s behavior in the war.

Adelaide Neall 06, of Saturday Evening Post Staff Tells Why.
. (Specially contributed by Addaide Neall, '06)

(Enitor’s Note—Miss: Neall has. been a
member of the Saturday Evening Po'st staff
' sirtce 1909. In February, 1921, she was
‘appointed chairman of “the Bryn Mawr
Alumnae Publicity Bureau. Although Miss
Neall has since resigned from this chair-
manship, she is still a member of the Com-
mittee, and in close touch with College
problems.) e ee
‘ One syre way to discover dina the public
thinks of: an institution is to try to raise
money for it.’ People are very frank, often
painfully free in their criticisms, when their
pocketbooks are theratened. During the
spring of 1920 we had plenty of opportunity
“to see Bryn Mawr through the eyes of the
general public, and the experience was not
entirely a happy one. Among other things

-we learned that Bryn Mawr was an‘insti-,

tution for rich girls only, that no girl

_ of moderate means could afford to study
there, and that most Bryn Mawr graduates
were snobs; to balance this criticism we
heard also that the atmosphere of the Col-
lege was radical, several of our professors
being Bolsheviks at heart, and that many
of the students were pink, if not. bright

. red in their sympathies. We heard that

there was an ‘entire absence of religion
at Bryn Mawr, so that the girls were apt
to come away from there, if not atheists,
certainly with all their beliefs undermined ;
but we heard also that there was too much
religion at the College, and that the air
of the campus was apt to breed mission-
aries. Our’ entrance requirements were
criticized as too high, and therefore harm-
ful to the schools that prepared girls for
Bryn Mawr; but also we were criticized
for having lowered our standards, and we
learned that. the reason Bryn Mawr had
a special set of entrance examinations was
“so that any girl who failed to measure up
to the State Board requirements could avail
herself of the Bryn Mawr “examinations,
which weré much easier.

On the surface all this conflicting evi-
dence, all the misinformation and. the mis-
understanding was humorous, but back of
the criticisms was a situation that had not
a ‘vestige of humor in it. We alumnae
came through the endowment drive with
$2,000,000, and in. addition with the firm
‘conviction that the old attitude of the Col-
lege toward publicity—or rather against it
—must change. There is a saying that the
best way for men to handle their wives
is to “Tell ’em nothing and-treat’em
rough.” That is somewhat the attitude that
the College had always adopted toward the

‘press. As a result of the lessons learned
during our adventures in money raising we
alumnae were determined that never again

_ should there be on the part of the public
at large the ignorance of or indifference

...to Bryn Mawr that was met 'on all sides
‘during the spring of 1920. A college edu-

been committed in its name.’ ‘Good pub-
licity does not mean spectacular news
stories or keeping continually in the public
eye. It often consists of keeping out of
the papers things that might be -misunder-
stood or misinterpreted. We had a good
example of this during the endowment
drive. Just at the time when we were
doing our very best to convince the people
who. _suspécted Bryn Mawr of being a hot-
bed of radicalism that our professors were
gentle and tame and the students models
of conservatism, the following headline ap-
peared in the Philadelphia papers: ‘“For-
mer Bolshevik Minister Addresses Bryn
The reaction of people
who knew Bryn Mawr to such a notice
would at worst: be a feeling of regret that
the authorities had allowed the address to
be made; but news of this kind, presented
to people not in touch with thé College,
would hardly leave them with any fais
impression of the Bryn Mawr spirit or
ideals.. And to those people who already
suspected the Collége of radicalism, the
Bolshevik visitor must have been a red
flag indeed. ‘

When we alumnae asked to be maunel
to handle the publicity of the College, we
had_no thought or desire to goin for any
of the forms of spectacular. advertising re-
sorted to in the extremities of the drive.
We did not intend:to do ourselves, nor did
we intend ever to ask the College to dé
anything*for the sake of getting into the
papers. One glance at the past year will
show you that Bryn Mawr does not need
manufactured news.
was to make sure that whenever in the
future the College, or the undergraduates
or the alumnae should do. things that were
interesting and worthwhile, and worthy of
our best traditions, the world should hear
of them. Our aim was then and is now
to interpret thé true Bryn Mawr, and our
publicity should always be just as conserv-
ative, just as constructive, just as fine, just
as inspiring as the College, the under-
graduates and the alumnae make it.
