VARSITY TRIPS ST. MARTINS |

Season’s First Game Played in Rain

Outplaying St. Martins in a slow scrappy
game, Varsity scored a 5-3 victory last
Saturday in the first match of the season.
A cold drizzle setting in early in the game
made the ground extremely slippery so
that good passing was almost impossible.

The backfield play was the main feature
of the Bryn Mawr team from the begin-
ning. In spite of a disorganized forward
line and many substitutions the Bryn
Mawr players were more consistent than
their opponents, although lack of practice
in both teams- was evident. Weak in hit-
ting, St. Martins frequently lost the ball
to H. Rice, fullback. Miss Bartel, the right
half for the visiting team, was clever at
clearing, but was unable to feed her for-
wards effectively.

A brilliant goal from the wing by E. An-
derson gave Varsity a lead in the first
half, which was sustained throughout the
game. Two goals by A. Nicoll at inside

About 130 students gathered in the music
room at Miss Ely’s for an impromptu pro-
gram of music last Monday evening. “I
have never heen more surprised,” said Mr.
Alwyne, associate professor of theoretical
music, afterward. “TI had expected to see
about six people.”

After one selection which Mr. Alwyne
played he asked the audience to name the
composer. Many of the students said it
was Granger, an opinion which, according
to Mr. Alwyne, had frequently been given
critics. The com-

PRESIDENT THOMAS WELCOMES
INCOMING FRESHMAN CLASS



Discusses Faults of Education In
Opening Chapel Address

Speaking in chapel last Wednesday,
President Thomas said:

I want to say a few words to you
about what I think ought to be our main
preoccupation during this thirty-sixth
year of Bryn Mawr College. We are
opening under very happy circumstances.
In the United States the strain of the war
is over—at least for young people. The
college students of this country for the
first time since the war began are now
ready and eager to return to their old
paths of prosperity and peace. The boys
and girls who are now in college have
really felt no shock from the war. You
were all too young fully to realize what
it meant to those of us who were older.
The Freshmen I have talked to this year
(and I have seen about one-half of our
Freshman class) impressed me as being
very much like Freshmen before the war.

| They seem to me to be just what they

used to be. This is as it should be. The
hideous crime of the war and all its ter-
rible after-consequences should as far as
possible be borne by us who are older
and not by the younger generation. It
was our fault, not theirs.
be able to recover from it and they seem
to me to have done so.

Another happy circumstance is that
education throughout the world and es-
pecially in the United States has come
into its own. It is in a position at this
moment that it has never before filled in
my memory. In the eyes of everyone,
and especially in the eyes of young peo-
ple, it seems to me to have become in-
finitely more worth while than it ever
has been before. Many of our Freshmen
impress me as having made up their
minds to have a college education only
within the last few years. They have
dimly felt in the air the feeling about
the great importance of education, As
I have said, they are like the earlier
Freshmen that I used to talk to before
the war. I believe they have come to
Bryn Mawr with their whole hearts.
This has not been so since the war. Our
students have seemed to feel that they
ought to be in the hospitals or in France,
or educating wounded soldiers, or any-
where else except in Bryn Mawr College.
3ut now armies of young people are
marching on our colleges: and univer-
sities by thousands. In Europe this
movement is so tremendous that the uni-
versities are limiting the number of their
students because they cannot take care
of them.

Value of Education Proved by War

After all, althouth we find a great deal
of fault with education and there are few
people who have not a stone to throw
at education, yet with all its shortcom-
ings education, even imparted as it is to
our not very eager students, is the very
best thing we know. This was given a
world-wide demonstration in the great
war. College men and women in the
United States, Great Britain and France
carried everything before them, and it is
the wide-spread realization of this that
is now crowding our high schools and
colleges with young men and especially
with young women who never thought
of going to college before.

Workers’ education everywhere has
taken on a new significance. Manual
workers and peasants in Russia and in

other disorganized European countries
are said to be demanding at the point
of the bayonet i extension
courses and making incredible sacrifices

hockey team, composed of fourteen women
from England, Scotland, Ireland and
Wales, will invade the United States for
a series of hockey matches, of which two
will be played against Bryn Mawr Varsity
on October 29 and November 9.

Captained by Miss Gaskell, who has
played in Australia, as well as England, the
team is coming to America for the first
time. The schedule of the matches to be
played has been arranged by the Philadel-
phia League, which finances the team while
it is here. This includes, besides the
cricket clubs around Philadelphia, games
with other colleges, and last season’s over-
seas teams. The English players will go
up to Rosemary Hall, Greenwich, Conn.,
before sailing for home.

Admission to the matches is free, except
in the case of the three All-Philadel-
phia games, for which fifty cents will be
charged. These tickets are on sale at
Spaulding’s Athletic Store in Philadelphia.

The schedule is:

October 20, vs. 1920 All-Philadelphia at
the Germantown Cricket Club.

October 22, vs. 1920 Overseas team at
the Philadelphia Cricket Club,

October 29, vs. Bryn Mawr Varsity at

The Antis

The College was as surprised when it
returned this fall to find a week-end rule

in force as the country was two years ago’

when prohibition was put to work. Like
prohibition it is far from solving the prob-
‘tem; for if people can’t get the recreation
' they want they will only manufacture some
other kind, and, just as the country is busy
making hooch and moonshine so Bryn
Mawr is busy planning more athletics,
more bridge, and more general festivity.

Rules which take away freedom pre
suppose the inability of those whom they
affect to act for the best; and it will but
be in accotdance with the judgment of
those who made the rule, if the undergrad-
uates, since they have had their immaturity
forced upon them, become more childish
than ever.

It is like the old case of the horse. He
will go to the water himself when he is
thirsty, but you can‘t make him drink by
leading him to it; and if you try to force
it down, it becomes a medicine to be
avoided in the future.



A Rising Star

All generations of Bryn Mawrters from
the far-off times of 1912 until the present
day are bound to take the keenest interest
in Mrs. Helen Taft
daughter, who so very recently made her

Manning’s small
entry into the world. It is significant, in
the first place, that she is a daughter. She
might have been a son, which would have
spoiled the story; but as it is she is safely
entered at Bryn Mawr for the years 1937,
1938, or 1939 (the odds are against her
being even) and we feel sure that as chair-
man of the Freshman Committee she will
triumphantly keep the parade song from
sleuths now in their cradles. It is certain

that those who know her mother, either
as a clever and entertaining fellow stu-
dent,

president of the College, will follow little

or as the capable dean and acting

Miss Manning’s career with almost pro-
prietary interest.

CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION

From the very interesting description of
the Summer School classes which Mrs.
Saunders gave in chapel last Friday, it is

i

clear that we of the “winter school” have
some very important questions to answer.
Do we know what we want to get from
our classes, and are we going after it?
These are questions which directly con-
cern the student, and which she can answer
more satisfactorily than can any educa-
tional authority.

It will be generally agreed that what
is wanted is a course which answers ques-
tions about which the student has a nat-
ural curiosity, and which explains and
interprets and enriches the world she al-

nothing to guide him. Once, however, a
free give and take is well established and
the pupils see to it that the courses are
adapted to meet their needs as far as pos-
sible, enthusiasm for learning will revive.
Summer School students will no longer
accuse the “winter school” of a lack of fire
in the pursuit of wisdom.

Music and Chaperons

Ignorance is bliss only as long as you
After that it be-
comes a sharp pang of mental hunger.
The advent of Mr. Surette into Bryn
Mawr has awakened pangs of this sort
far and wide through the College. People

and psychology have abruptly been faced

are unconscious of it.

and their proportional ignorance has ap-
palled them.

Large attendance at Mr. Surette’s classes
will not be the only effect of the new
enthusiasm. From now on more and more
students will wish to attend concerts and

rette nor the earnest workers who brought

Ignorant Bryn Mawr
From The Nation for Wednesday, Octo-
ber 12, comes the following comment:

and the
distinguishing marks of culture open to

“Education is a curious thing,
question. Bryn Mawr opened its academic
halls last summer to a school for working
girls. Tutors were chosen from the best
of Mryn Mawr’s students, but the working
girls, many of whom had never been to
high school, thought some of their tutors
quite uneducated. “What is this A. F. of
L. you talk about?” one of the educated
queried of the uneducated. To a member
of the International Ladies
Workers Union a flood of questions came
from one of the curious educated: “What
is this International you talk about? Is it

beauties of East and West,” is an article
in the November Photoplay, which dis-
cusses the ratio of beauty and intelligence
among college women, as compared to
motion picture actresses.

A search was made by Photoplay, with
the help of Mrs. Ruth Grimwood, of Bar-
nard, to find the prettiest girls in the col-
leges. Samuel Goldwyn, president of the
Goldwyn Company, gave many of these an
opportunity to appear on the screen. His
offer, however, was not favorably received.
As a result of the search Mrs. Grimwood
concludes :

“The only girls who combined beauty
with an appreciation of any possible lure
which the screen might offer were those
who had become seriously interested in the
stage as a profession or some few from
co-educational institutions where beauty is
not so negligible a quantity.

“Have our women’s colleges got on the
wrong track? Are they developing a sort
of super-woman, a sexless creature who
has no time for such mundane matters as
charm and personal appeal? Are they de-
stroying the femininity which is so much
of a woman’s charm?

“The young woman in college has be-
come slovenly and neglectful of the shell
which houses her soul and mind. The
issues have become clouded for her. She
is becoming mentally flatfooted and obese.”

will soon be a close second. The Bryn
Mawr Summer School for Women
Workers in Industry opened at Bryn
Mawr College for the first time in the
summer of 1921 and, attended by eighty-
three women workers, was a
revelation to the teachers who taught it.
It was a fortunate thing for the students
of Bryn Mawr College that our faculty
voted that no professor of the College
should teach it. They would never
again have been contented to teach you,

factory

I fear. 1 am told that all the teachers
of the Summer School found it a won-
derful and unique experience to teach
college subjects to students wild to

learn, who thought lectures so infinitely
that they would almost mob
lecturers who missed one. As an experi-
ence it was both terrifying and infinitely
moving to hold in their hands such crea-
tive power over their students, and to
see each day the spirit of life moving on
the face of the waters. It showed them
what teaching might be and that if only
it could be as perfectly adapted to the
needs of our college students it would be
received with the same _ rapturous
attention.

When these factory girls came here they
did not know how to read except word
by word often pronounced aloud. They
did not know the meaning of ordinary
words. They were so exhausted by lis-
tening to a lecture that they could
scarcely sit through it. But they went
to work in little classes of seven with
the Bryn Mawr graduates who acted as
tutors, and studied words and learned to
read book after book. By the end of the
eight weeks they really had mastered
not only reading but the subject matter
of the books read. At first their teachers
were in despair, but after three or four
weeks were over they were listening
with rapt attention to their lectures and
were saying to one another after the lee-
tures, “I understood it all.”

Power of Education Newly Realized

The only accident that happened was
to a student who broke her knee cap
standing quite still and putting out her
leg. She was taken to the hospital and
Dean Smith, who was with her, said, “I
am so sorry that this has happened,” and
she replied just before she went under

precious

ether, “I would give my other leg to
have come.” This was the spirit of
everyone.

But this new and almost universal ap-
preciation of the power of education has
brought upon us what I regard as a ter-
rible menace to American schools and
colleges and to free and liberal thought
—the greatest danger that has come in,

' my lifetime. The Federal and State gov-

ernments,
canization

Boards of Education, Ameri-
Societies, American Legions
and organizations of every kind are now
demanding that children and college stu-
dents should be taught patriotism, con-
crete citizenship and 100 per cent. Amer-
icanism. This means that school teach-
ers and college professors (at first in
public schools and state universities and
then everywhere) will be required to
teach not how to make things as they
should be but that things as they are are
right; that the United States Constitu-
tion as written one hundred and thirty-
four years ago is perfect; that our highly
unsatisfactory National and State gov-
ernments must not be criticized; that the
United States flag (which as we all know
now flies over many cruel injustices
which we hope to right) must be rev-
erenced as a sacred symbol of unchanging
social order and of political death in life.
The Lusk law, passed in New York
State, is a hideous example of what may
happen any day in any and every State.
It is impossible to teach concrete polit-
ical or religious opinion without arous-
ing conflicting parties, one factién of
which will surely rise up and rend the

DR. BARTON STRIKES HOPEFUL
NOTE IN FIRST STRMON

“In spite of world problems we should
not despair,” said Dr. George A, Barton,
the chaplain of the College, speaking last
Sunday at the first evening service of the
year. “We are sure that Jesus Christ, the
most perfect character ever known, shall
be more and more manifested in the
world.”

“Again and again doctrinaire panaceas
have been proposed and tried out and have
failed,” Dr. Barton said. “Christianity on
the other hand has spread from a small
group of early disciples to include about
one-third of the human race. It is becom-
ing more and more clear,” he told his con-
gregation, “that the only sure solution for
industrial and international problems lies
in the application of the principles of
Christ.”

In conclusion, Dr. Barton said to the stu-
dents, “It does not yet appear what kind
of students you will be, what kind of
women you will be. Of one thing be
assured: you cannot safely venture upon
life unless you have Christ. If you fol-
low Him you will hecome each day more
pure, more happy, more useful.”

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION GIVES
RECEPTION TO NEW STUDENTS

The first large entertainment of the year,
Christian Association reception, was held
in the gymnasium at 4 o'clock last Satur-
day afternoon. This reception was of a
more informal character than the evening
receptions of former years, and the short
skit given at the end was an innovation.

President Thomas, the only speaker of
the afternoon, was introduced by Margaret
Speer, ’22, the president of the Christian
Association. Miss Thomas welcomed the
new students to Bryn Mawr and spoke of
the place of the Christian Association in
the life of the College. Dean Maddison,
Dean Smith, Miss Applebee and Dr. Bar-
ton received with Miss Thomas and the
presidents of the College associations.

The skit fancifully presented Taylor Hall
at the opening of College. M. Speer, “The
Religious Child,” K. Gardner, ’22, “The
Self-Governing Child,” represented Fresh-
men looking for enough points to get them
into college, Jane Burges, '22, “The Ex-
ecutive Child,” arrived in a trunk. “It was
much easier,” she said. H. Wilson,

MARGARET SPEER, C.A. PRESIDENT,
CONDUCTS FIRST VESPER SERVICE

Love, honesty and things of the spirit
were the three qualities emphasized by M
Speer, '22, president of the Christian Asso-
ciation, in the first vesper service of the
year in chapel on Sunday evening.

Miss Speer described special cases she
knew of poverty in New York, the wretch-
edness of many Ellis Island emigrant’, and
the tragedy of some houses of correction.
“We must go to these people, who. néed
us,” she said, “imagine ourselves one of,

IN THE NEW BOOK ROOM

The first installment of German books
to reach Bryn Mawr since the war arrived
this summer, 300 strong, and is now tem-
porarily in the New Book Room. These
hooks include novels, poetry and general
literature as well as several philological
works. One hundred volumes of new
Spanish books and about 30 miscellaneous
works bring the total to about 800 volumes,

are impossible. This is the reason why
women as a sex have made so few scien-
tific discoveries and have as yet con-
tributed so little to original thought.
They have not had the foundation on
which to build.

A flood of light has been thrown on
the whole subject of teaching by the
intelligence tests of the United States
army. These tests selected almost in-
fallibly the men who later became cor-
porals, sergeants and captains, and sifted
out the feeble-minded and morons. Such
tests, modified as they have been since,
give us the best method known for se-
lecting super-children’ to educate for
leadership.

Honor System for Super-intelligent

Now, for the first time, we can find
them out and specially educate those A
and A plus children who combine high
intellectual ability with character and
industry. So educated they nfay be de-
pended upon to advance the human race
by _ scientific discoveries, scholarship,
genius of all kinds and above all by a
broad comprehension of social problems.
This is not Utopian. It is now. really
feasible. Let us break up our soul-dey-
astating lock-step education. Let us
separate out our A and A plus boys and
girls and give them our highest and most
expert teaching just as fast as they can
assimilate it. At present they. are. mark-
ing time in our school and college
classes, working not at all_and yet. lead-
ing their classes and dissipating their
unused energy in petty school and col-
lege activities. Let put the honor
System into all of our colleges and re-
ward by the most. precious gifts in our
possession superior excellence, This will
also be educationally better for the B’s
and C’s who will then be given the best
education they can take by teachers who
will no longer neglect them for the A’s.
It will make it possible for our super-
men and educated by
themselves for knowledge and power to
bring salvation to the body politic and
in time to administer our schools and
colleges as they have never been admin-
istered before. Our universities will then
no longer be “the homes of lost causes.”
We shall then no longer lag behind as
we are said to do now. We shall stride
on before along the pathway to the
sunrise. .

I amz.cenvinced that true progress lies
along these lines. A great amount of
ability will be set free by the emergence
of women as a sex and an almost incon-
ceivably greater amount in all civilized
countries by nine-tenths of the human
race coming into its own, as it surely
will in the coming era of social recon-
struction, and enjoying for the first time
in the world’s history equal opportun-
ities of education and sufficient leisure
to make use of it.

Intellect Plus Character Wanted

The most serious question-in all edu-
cation seems to me to be just this—how
are we to deal with those students who
are endowed above their fellows, how
can we persuade them to give the labo-
rious days to become great?
Out of the whole body of young people
born into the world at any “given* time
how can we best educate the specially
endowed, the super-children? Of course,
we all know that there are great differ-
ences between us. Certain of us can do
certain things better than others can do
same Some of us have
great intellectual gifts but no character,
no faithfulness, no conscientiousness, no
industry. Intellect without these qual-
ities added to it does not do its possessor
or the world much good, but when we
have really great intellectual endowment
combined with industry, character, faith-
fulness and ambition, then we have
something that is the rarest product of the
human race and that may advance our so-
cial and intellectual level immensely.

PRESIDENT THOMAS WELCOMES 1925



(Continued from Page 3)

have an opportunity this year to intro-
duce the honor system in any depart-
ment that wishes to do so. That means
that post-major students who wish to
do so and who in the opinion of the de-
partment have the kind of intelligence
that will enable them to do specially well
in that study will be enabled under the
honor system to do a different and more
independent kind of work under the di-
rection of their professors. This will
give an opportunity for special gifts to
manifest themselves.

I have been thinking of what I should
most like for my last year as president
of Bryn Mawr College, and I think I
should like best to see Bryn Mawr begin
to study the problem of teaching. It
seems to me one of the greatest prob-
lems in the whole world. I do not see
why in a small college like this where
you are selected out carefully by the
entrance examinations (I am told by our
Department of Education that you aver-
age about two years ahead of your age
in the intelligence tests) we could not
try out different new methods of teach-
ing and decide on the best with the help
and co-operation of our students. After
all you are the subjects of our teaching
and are best able to tell us when we
succeed and when we fail and when what
is good may be bettered. It would be
a wonderful thing if for the next ten
years or so Bryn Mawr. could devote it-
self to working out the special kind of
teaching that will get the best results
from your generation of students.
Varying Influences Make Up Bryn Mawr

Every great thing like a college is
made up of a thousand different influ-
ences. In the first place, there is the
founder who has dreamed of the College.
Our founder really did dream of the
College, though perhaps he did not dream
of it as it is now. In two or three times
I talked to him before I went to Ger-
many to study he told me what he hoped
that it would be, and asked me if I
would teach in it. There are the trus-
tees who work unselfishly for the Col-
lege, each of whom has higher vision;
the faculty, who make the College what
it is in scholarship and reputation; the
present student body, who are the Col-
lege, and above all, there are the alumnae
and former students watching us and
working for us, who have themselves
made the life of the College in their day.
To all these different elements of the
College working together and perfecting
the College must be added all the many
thousands of employees of the College
who also have put their lives into it, and
all the people who have given money or
left legacies to it because of their faith
in it. All these make up Bryn Mawr
College. The College is small as col-
leges go, but for that reason it is perhaps
even more lovely and even more to be
loved. A great man said once of a very
small college in New England, “It is a
small college but there are those who
love it.” In working for an institution
of spiritual and intellectual power like
Bryn Mawr, I think that you will find
an exceeding great reward. This has
been my experience: It has been my
greatest delight during all these thirty-
seven years to work for Bryn Mawr.

And now, during this, my last year, I
wish to ask the students of Bryn Mawr
to make me the farewell gift of trying
to work with the faculty for the good of
the College. When anything goes
wrong say, “I will try to make that
right,” remembering that you are work-
ing for the College, for all the students
who have preceded you and for all the
students who will come after you.

CORNELIA SKINNER APPEARS IN
“BLOOD AND SAND” IN NEW YORK

Appearing with her father, Otis Skinner,
in “Blood and Sand,” a dramatization of
the novel by Ibanez, Cornelia Skinner,
ex-'22, made her stage debut in New York
on September 20. After two years at
Bryn Mawr, Miss Skinner studied under
M. Dehelly at the Comedie Frangaise in
Paris. “I always felt the call of the stage.
But no matter what you do in life, the
most important thing is a good education,”
quotes the Charlotte Observer in regard to
Miss Skinner’s training. At college she
has played the title-réle in “Rosalind,” Sir
Jasper Thorndyke in “Trelawney of the
Wells” and in May Day, 1920, took the
part of Sacropant in “The Old Wives’
Tale.” In the words of Miss Skinner, her
first real role is “that of a superficial,
worldly, affected woman, a contrasting type
to the elemental El Gallardo of the Spanish
bull-ring,” the part played by Mr. Skinner.



NEWS IN BRIEF

Miss Helen Barrett, for the past two
years director of the Bryn Mawr Com-
munity Center, has resigned and no suc-
cessor has yet been appointed. Until the
permanent staff is in charge, no club work
or classes at the Center will be organized.

Dr. E. A. Johnston Ross, professor of
homiletics at Union Theological Seminary,
will give the first lecture of his curriculum
course on “Studies in Christian Ethics and
Contributions of the New Testament to
the Moral Life of the World,” on Octo-
her 26, from 2 to 4 P. M. *

M. Blaine, ’13, secretary of the Alumnae
Association, is back in the alumnae rooms
after a trip abroad, during which she spent
two months in England and flew from
London to Paris.

“He Who Got Slapped,” by Leonid An-
dreyev, will be given by the class of 1923
in the gymnasium on November 3.

1923 has re-elected M. Holt song leader
and elected F. Matteson and K. Raht a per-
manent music committee to assist her in
getting songs written.

A tea for all the new foreign graduate
Students will be given by the World Citi-
zenship Committee next Sunday afternoon
at 4 o'clock in Room 48-52, Pembroke-
West.

An intelligence test for Freshmen will be
held in Room F, Taylor Hall, on Satur-
day, October S$. Freshmen are asked to
register at the test and will be required to
make it up in case of absence.

BATES GIVES VACATION TO
OVER ONE HUNDRED CHILDREN

With an unusually successful summer
behind it and the long needed garden al-
ready started for next season, the Com-
mittee for Bates House, the college vaca-
tion home for poor children from the
Spring Street Settlement in New York, is
again looking toward the College for sup-
port, according to C. Baird, ’22, the chair-
man. “Save your pennies for the Bates
monthly collections now and your weeks
next summer to go down to Longbranch,”
said Miss Baird. Workers were needed
even more than money last summer.

One hundred and eighteen children and
a group of missionary ladies were enter-
tained at Bates House during June and
July. Miss Elsa Lotz, who has been head
of the Spring Street Settlement Girls’



Clubs, was head worker in charge of rec-
reation during the weeks Bryn Mawr was
running the house. Twenty-four student
workers took care of the visitors, including
M. Minott, ’24; G. Carson, ’23; B. Mosle,
24: O. Fountain, 24; A. Smith, ’23; B.
Tuttle, ’24; M. Buchanan, ’24; J. Richards,

Smith, ’24; M. Faries, ’24; E. Anderson,
22: H. Price, ’23; J. Henning, '23, and D.
Stewart, ’23.

Any pennies saved for Bates will be col-
lected every month in each hall. The col-
lectors are C. Baird, ’22, Radnor; A.
Smith, ’23, Merion; M. Voorhees, ’22, Den-
bigh; H. Walker, ’24, Pembroke-East ; cy
Fountain, ’24, Pembroke-West; B. Tuttle,

tion” (November 3); “Political Parties,

ORGANIZED ATHLETICS PLANNED
AT GRADUATE CLUB MEETING

About sixty graduates attended the first
meeting of the Graduate Club in the Club
Room in Denbigh, last Friday. Miss Lehr,
the new president, presided.

Miss Applebee spoke about athletics in
general and graduate athletics in particu-
lar. An organized system was planned for
hockey, basketball and water polo teams,
and a tennis tournament was scheduled.
Representatives of the large organizations
explained them to the new members, and
a system of daily teas, similar to last
year’s, was decided upon. Miss Willbrand
was elected custodian of the Club Room.

Sporting Note
Susan Carey has been elected temporary
tennis captain for 1925.

CORRECTIONS

Tue News wishes to correct a statement
made last week that Margit S. Borresen,
a foreign scholar this year, was from
Sweden. Miss Borresen is a candidate of
philology of the Royal Frederick’s Uni-
versity, Christiania, Norway.

Through an error in printing it was an-
nounced that M. Russell, ’24, had been
elected temporary Senior hockey captain.
E. Anderson, ’22, is Senior, and M. Russell















is Sophomore captain.
