¢

PRESIDENT THOMAS %

Bryn Mawr, like every College, has an
atmosphere and a tradition peculiarly its
own. ‘Since Miss Thomas’ presidency be-
gan, the successive classes which have had
their part in making this tradition have

found that. its center, its well-spring and]

moving force is'the personality of Miss
Thomas. She has so identified herself with
the College that to think of Bryn Mawr
is to think of ‘her. The success of the
College has been her success.

Her students know that it is not only
within the College that Miss Thomas has
been successful, but’ that wider services to
women’s education. and a. varied interest
in other cayses have combined to give her
the position of prestige which she holds.
Yet they feel’ confident. that her first
thought has always been for the College,
and that they themselves have always
claimed het best attention and most untir-
ing service. With all the demands .upon
her time which her outside activities in-
volve, and with all the unnumbered ‘details
of administration to direct, she never al-
lows anything to come between her and
the needs or interests of the students.

Since-the time when, as Dean, she helped
to found the Self Govefnment Association,
she has looked upon that organization as
one of the achievements of which the Col-
lege has most reason to be proud. Because
she has reliance in the ability of. students
to govern themselves, and in their willing-

ness to do so fairly, the Association has

had a power and independence utiparalleled
in other women’s ‘colleges. There is no
organized activity of the College, however
small, which cannot count upon her atten-
tion and support, Yet the force of her
personal influence she brings steadily to
bear upon what she believes are the best
and most useful aspects of college life.



These she encourages ‘with all her tireless



enf@usiasm. The Undergraduate Associa-
tion, the Christian Association, the French
and English and Liberal Clubs, the College
periodicals, owe much of their vigor to her
interest and co-operation.

President Thomas does not restrict her
influence to organizations. ‘The social life
and-amusements of the College interest her
no less. Most especially does she cherish
the picturesque traditions of Lantern Night
and’ May Day, which in their different ways
symbolize the ideals of Bryn Mawr, and
which, being, more permanent than the
buildings of the College, will bear ‘witness
in the future of Miss Thomas’ idealism.
Her invariable attendance and careful
criticism of plays sets a high standard for
dramatic . prodtiction, and it is a disap-
pointed class. which finds her place of
honor empty at the rising of the: curtain.
Her generous hospitality in the deanery
makes it possible for the College to hear
many eminent speakers who could not
otherwise be invited to Bryn Mawr.
Senior receptions, looked forward to with
eager anticipation, rank. high among the
social events of the year, and afford an
opportunity, for the personal acquaintance-
ships with President Thomas, which are
the most delightful privilege of Bryn Mawr
students. ’

Yet all these particular interests in the
daily lives of her students are but subordi-
nate to her all-importaht ideal of an inflex-
ibly high academic standard, This stand-

}ard of scholarship is linked with an am-

bition to make leaders of Bryn Mawr
women. ‘She teaches leadetship. All the
dynamic force of her personality she directs
to this end. By precept, by example, by
her confidence and pride in her students
she brings this power to ‘bear upon them
from their first yéar to their last. It is
for this power and inspiration which they,
the students, will always thank her most.

DR. FRANCIS PEABODY GIVES
BACCALAUREATE ADDRESS.



Religion is
= All Questions _

“We know not whither we are going.
How can we know the way?” asked Dr.
Francis Peabody, of Cambridge, Mass.,
preaching the baccalaureate sermon in
the gymnasium last Sunday night. “How
can we have a road unless there is some-
where where the road goes? That seems
the very beginning of wisdom.

Dr. Peabody went on to say_ that
although-it is true that the end discovers
the way, very often the end itself can’t
be found. " He explained, however, that
this need not worry us, because of Jesus’
assurance that the ehd may be found
even if we dog’t know the way, for the
light of immediate righteousness will
guide us. We must act in view of what
is. right for the present. “We do not
know how our industrial conflicts will.
end, but the straight wer of equity lies
before us.”

“What we have to ions is “West we go
the wrong.way.» We must think of our
religion, not as an answer to all ques-
tions, but as a way, an approach of mind
and will to the mind and will of God,
by following which life becomes rational.” *

CUSTOMS OF FRESHMAN NIGHT

RADICALLY C CHANGED
yuma ond Class Banquet Left

The old custom of letting Freshmen rin
riot on Freshman Night has been abolished.
Hereafter all their activities must be con-
fined “to °a*~class* banquet’ and~ singing
parodies.

Only after a hot discussion and double



* yote on the question did the meeting of

the Undergraduate Association, held in fhe
chapel on May 17th, come to the decision
that Freshmen Night had lost its original
point and outlived its usefulness. Several
people suggested that all activities be
mental, but E. Price, ’24, pointed out that
this would mean. that Freshman ‘Night
would simply be a time for slandering
upper classmen. -V. Lomas, ’25, thought
that .Freshmen should not be allowed to
go into upper classmen’s rooms. Several
suggestions were made to appoint a com-
mittee to investigate the matter and recom-
mend what privileges should be left to the
Freshmen, but the general opinion of the
nieeting was summed up by V. Liddell,
'22, who said that she thought that the old
custom had lost its point as was shown by
the very fact that the rules were being
investigated.

The motion finally carried was that
Freshman Night should consist only of
__ Parodies, a class banquet ‘and _ Singing on

SPANISH CLUB PROTESTS OVER-
ORGANIZATION BY DISBANDING
At a meeting for the election of officers

last week the Spanish Club decided instead

to disband, as a protest against the over-

organization, which it believed one of the
greatest present evils at Bryn Mawr.
Club dissolved over ice cream and cake
‘and voted to give the fifteen dollars in the
treasury to. Bates -House for parties, as
parties had been its greatest interest ,

THE CLASS OF 1922. ~~.

“Now undergraduates come up,

The [Office] did beseech.

And let us see if you can learn,

As muchas [he] can teach.”

Among the many changes at Bryn
Mawr next year, by no means the least
will be that Dr. Barton will have gone.
For this. change is much more than the
mere exchange of one professor for an-
other. Dr. Barton has been for so long
distinctively a Bryn Mawr institution;
the campus will not be the same without
the frequent glimpses of the tall spare
figure, generally laden with books, in

within. Naturally his highly specialized
work cannot be appreciated by ‘more
than a small minority of the student
body, but -he is so typically a scholar
that surely no one jn any way interested
in intellectual pursuits can fail to recog-
nize it. The disappearance from the Col-
lege roll of the name of this scholar of
international reputation calls for more
than perfunctory mention.

Dr. Barton is a naturalized citizen of
the United States of English descent,
somewhat remote, for his father’s ances-
tors came to Rhode Island in the seven-
teenth century, moving later to other
‘New England States. His grandfather
{ migrated to Canada, and there’ Dr. Bar-
ton. was bern. He is .a.graduate. of. Hav-
erford College (A. B. 1882 and A.M. 1885,

versity (A.M. 1890, Ph.D. 1891). He
came to Bryn Mawr im-1891, and here
his work has been continuous save for
leave of absence for the year 1902-03,
which he spent as director of the ‘Amer-
ican School of Oriental Study and Re-
search in Palestine, In recent years he
has combined his work here as professor

e

| guages the duties of professor of New
Testament literature and language at the

copal Church in Philadelphia.

Dr. Barton’s first book, “A Sketch of
Semitic Origins,” was published in 1902.
His principal contributions to scholar-
ship are the two volume work on “The
Origin and Development of Babylonian
Writing,” and five different volumes of
Sumerian texts; these deal with the sub-
jects that seem most deeply rooted in
his scholarly affections, but together
with these must be mentioned alsq his
commentary on “Ecclesiastes” in t#® In:
ternational Critical Commentary, which
established his reputation as a Hebrew
scholar. Writings of more general ap-
peal are “Archaeology and the Bible’
(1916), “The Religions of the World”
-(1917), and “The Religion of Israel”
(1918). Thus it will be seen that in his
new sphere he will have the work that
he himself would choose, for he goes
from Bryn Mawr to the University of
Pepnsylvania to succeed Professor Mor-
“itMastrow as-professor of Semitic lan-
guages in a department which includes
also a-professor of Hebrew and Aramaic
and an Assyriologist.. Further, Dr. Barton
will have scope for his well-known in-
terest in the history of religion ja con-
tinuing the work of Dr. Jastrow, who by
means of-his special courses given regu-
larly, in connection with additional
courses given as occasion arose by. mem-

sylvania Dr. Barton’s special attainments
will have ample opportunity, with possi-
pilities for the future shore attractive

|MOLIERE’S TERCENTENARY
CELEBRATED AT BRYN MAWR

Mlle. Rey Stars in Moliere. Play

—



Molieré’s tercentenary was celebrated

Divinity School of the Protestant Episy at Bryn Mawr by a presentation of “Les

Precieuses Ridicules” in French. Given
by the faculty and graduates it was in
some respects the best-and most finished.
performance of the year. Mademoiselle
Rey, pupil of Jacques Copeau, director
of the Vieux Colombier in Paris, was
the light and life of the performance.
The opening. scenes between Les Pre-
Lcieuses and Gorgibus were admirably
done, leaving the audience with a sense
of expectancy. From the moment of
Mademoiselle Rey’s entrance, which was
greeted with loud applause, all attention
was focused on’ her. Her voice was in
itself & work of art. Infinite variety in
pitch and-tone and wealth of expression
is something which, according to Ptesi-
dent Thomas, can only be attained by
a French artist. In the long scene be-

ment lost their interest. In every detail,
from the way in which*the Marquis took
off his gloves or crossed his knees, to his
manner of proclaiming “Ho!. Voleurs!”
his acting was complete. . :

All the otfiér characters, in spite of
their disadvantage in being amateurs,
supported Mademoiselle Rey excellently,
especially . Mademoiselle _Trotain -. as
Madelon, and Miss Kelly as Jodelet.

~ “KASHMIR



Ragini Devi, who is to sing and dance
in the Cloisters tonight, will. appear in fia-
tive-costume_and sing the poetry of Rabin-
dranath Tagore and other Indian poets in
her native Indian tongue.

In Kashmir, where she was born, Ragini
Devi appeared in the native theatres sing-
ing both sacred and secular music. She
has come to England and the United States
in order to make western people understand
her people through. her music. She -is
assisted by Sarah Lahiri and Mohan Lal,
who play Indian instruments.

“Musical America” says of Miss Devi

that “charming of face‘and, graceful in
the Oriental dances which she presented in
costume,‘ and possessing a very pleasing
voice ‘used with no little skill, she proved
herself a gifted and fascinating enter-
tainer.” “The Times” describes her danc-
ing as that of “tropic calm and storm, of
pose and gesture.”

RUSSIAN CHOIR LED BY .BUKETOFF

The Russian choir is made up of thirteen
mixed. -voices.. The leader, \ Constantin
Buketoff, is a priest in the Russian Cathe-
dral of New York, and.a pupil of Lazar
S. Samoeloff. He is noted for his excep-
tionally fine baritone voice and. will sing a
solo, “Serenada.” Some of the other num-
bers on the program are “Eh Ouhmen,” a
Volga song by the whole choir, and “Darl-
ing Maiden,” sung by Miss Elsa Bernhardt.

Green pillows were substituted for green

the Sophomore Senior picnic last Friday
night, held in the gymnasium on account
of the rain. Ss

The picnic was entertained by a skit,
“The Girls of Rosewater Institute,” writ-
ten and acted by the dramatic talent of
the Sophomore class. The action por-
trayed the life of the. typical college
girl who rises at five and, wakes her
roommate with a loving kiss. Then
cooking their breakfast on their chafing
dish, they star e eventful gay which
culminates im a game ‘of badminton, the
great Rosewater sport. When the win-

ner of this is about to be awarded the

knee and is forever disgraced, while the

‘tie goes to her opponent.

DEAN SMITH

Bryn Mawr is the first Women’s Col-
‘hie to establish a Labor School. To
this undertaking it has given a great
leader, for Dean Smith has resigned hér
office to become director of the new
enterprise. Although the College itself
willbe very sorry to lose her, .it. feels
that there is an even greater scope for
her ability at the summer school.

In the winter Dean Smith will lecture
in different parts of the country for
recruiting purposes, while during the
summer her work will. be primarily with
the students ‘themselves. We of the
“Winter School” have all felt the Dean’s
personality and been encouraged by her
sympathetic understanding, and since the
Labor School is more informal and the

contact between staff and students greater]

than with us, Dean Smith’s influence
The staff of
the Summer School sincerely feel that
whatever. success the school attained last
year was largely due to ‘the Dean, and

' that now with her as its personal director

its future success is assured,



NEWS OR NUISANCE ° ‘

The Cottece News is not run for the
entertainment of its editors. If, as many

“of its-critics “are too ready~to- remark, “it

does not succeed in entertaining its readers
either, there still remains a reason for its
existence which is valid enough.

As it is unnecessary to expand upon the
patent usefulness of a college paper, we
will explain more particularly the methods
by which the News attempts to make the
best of its shining opportunities. It. was
founded.in 1915 with a policy of “Truth,
Accuracy, Fairplay and Goodwill.” That

in the columns of the News shalf be not]
only truth,*but balanced truth? and that no
class discrimination or factional partisan-
ship whatever shall mark it§ policy. »The
editors from that: day to this have had this
for their aim.

At the beginning of this year it was de-1
cided’ that strict fairness did not preclude
the possibility of an editorial policy which
should be ‘partisan, if it were only so on
“broad qesions which a firm stand
seemed *to’ serve the ‘best intérests of the
College: In contréversial questions through-
out the year the Editorial Board has given
thorough consideration to every péint, ‘and.
has formed its policy with-regard to three
things: the individual opinion¢ of the
Board, the best good of the College, and
the opinion known to be held by most peo-
ple:of influence in every class, This pro-
cedure, intended partly to express, partly:
to direct student. opinion; “hasbeen .con-
scientiously followed by the editors,

However, since even Editorial: Boards are
aware of their fallibility, the letter column
of the News has been freely offered to
dissenting opinion. Disagreement has even
been solicited, so earnestly have the editors
adhered, to, their principles. of fdirplay.
Thus, when the campus -was torn over the
week-end dilemma, the News printed let-
ters not only from the President of the
College, and the Self-Government Presi-
dnt, but from private citizens as well;
throughout the year the opposition has had
its say in every other matter from athletics
to ee

BOOKS FOR THE BOOKROOM

Everyone knows that the difference
between a cultured and an uncultured
person is that the former can discuss
“Sons and Lovers” and the intricacies
of Carol Kennicott’s character, while the
latter can not. Everyone also knows
that Bryn Mawr aims at culture, thougn
she may pretend to..stop at-education.
Yet only ten books of current fiction
have been added to the New Book Room
during the past year—and these only
single copies!

Nothing can be done apparently .as
far as library funds are concerned, for
although the appropriation is a generous
one, considering the size of the College,
it-all goes to definite departments where
the professors choose their own books.

So the library is asking for gifts of
books or money or, best of all, that an
especial fund for current fiction be
founded. That such a fund would in-
crease. the students’ pleasure as. well as

MEMORY OF MAJORY GOODHART

A ebronze tablet to Majory Walter
Goodhart, of the class of 1912, was dedi-
cated in the cloisters by. President Thomas
on June 3.

President Thomas made a brief speech,
expressing the hope that Mrs. Goodhart’s
daughter, class baby of 1912, would follow
in her mother’s footsteps as a distinguished
student at Bryn. Mawr. Mrs. Andrew
Hunt, a classmate and friend of Mrs.
Goodhart, -also-made a short address in
appreciation of Mrs. Goodhart’s qualities of
mind and spirit. A third speaker was Dr.
Howard L. Gray, holder of the European
History Chair. The ceremony: was _con-
cluded by the singing of 1912’s class song
and the College hymn.

The’ inscription on’ the tablet .reads:

“Dedigated by Bryn Mawr College to the
memory of Majory Walter Goodhart, of
the Class’of 1912. Born October 10, 1902;
died February 5, 1920. Whose love of
study, gentle spirit and affectionate sym-
pathy with her fellow students are per-
petuated in Bryn Mawr by the Marjory
Walter Goodhart Memorial Chair of Euro-

“ STUDIES OF CHINESE -ART. ARE
EXHIBITED BY MISS WATERBURY .



Paintings Have.Oriental ~ oe
and Compo: n <

v¢



The exhibition of decorative’ studies of
‘Chinese art which Miss Florence Water-
bury is holding in. Taylor Hall until June
9, is interesting and unusual.

The paintings depict Chinese porcelains,
paintings and other decarative, objects.
Speaking of Miss. Waterbury, Miss Edith
Powell, Art Editor“8f the Public Ledger,
says: “She has assimilated’ the Oriental
régard for composition and simplicity, and
"the Oriental joy in rich color. In- that
she applies her pigment. in ‘a broad, -im-
pressionistic, three-dimensioned, manner she
is entiréy Occidental. In general her work
is very able, intellectual, sincere and dis-
tinctly original.” r

MacMONNIES SHAKESPEARE IS GIFT
' TO BRYN MAWR

Bryn Mawr has just received, the ‘gift
of a bronze’ replica of Frederick Mac-
Monnies’ statue of Shakespeare which is
in the ‘Congressional Library in Wash-
ington.

The bronze was presented to the fi.
lege by Mrs. Alice Jones MacMonnies,
97, as a mark of appreciation of Presi-
dent Thomas’ lectures in general En~
glish, “which,” Mrs. MacMonnies says in
a letter to the directors, “inspired so
many of us Freshmen back in the nine-
ties with an eager, intellectual curiosity
and an enduring enthusiasm for the fine
things of literature.” The statuette is
at present standingsin the reading-room
of the library. It will be replaced later
by a full size bronze which will be ‘set
up in the College grounds at the end of
an alley of trees.

COMPREHENSIVE QUESTION TO
WAIT UNTIL FALL

The faculty have voted to. postpone the
consideration of comprehensive examina-
tions until they can get the benefit of
President-elect Park’s co-operation and
advice, for they feel that it would be un-
just to impose so radical a change with-
‘The question~ will
be taken up at a special méeting in Octo-
ber, and “comprehensives,” if adopted, will
be “optional, for people now in College.
The sentiment of the faculty meeting
which discussed the matter, was for a
gradual introduction of the system, as they
felt that it was in principle valuable be-
cause it tended to make the students work
for the subject and not simply to*pass the

Over on Hundred Abate Return
for Class Picnics and Banquets

Everything from baby shows to Bernard
Shaw skits are being added to the usual
alumnae activities * this year. ’ Thirteen
classes’ are re-uning under the. new scheme
whereby each class comes back with the
classes who were in College. at the same
time. ' 1921

1921, back-for the first time, has naturally
the largest number, fifty-seve heir cos-
fable, long

claiming their “whooping” proclivities.
They sing at all hours of the night to
President Thomas, fellow classes or them-
selves. On Monday night they picniced
with 1923 in the gymnasium with the old

-accompaniment of “Oh Me, Oh aE and

“Side by Side.”

1920

Twenty-nine of 1920 are back, divanee
fas the typical flapper in blue and white
checked dresses, blue hats and large blue
earrings. Their picnic in Rockefeller was
an elaborate affair where extempore
speeches were made on titles chosen at
random from a Jack Horner pie:
’21 have been.a better mother” is a typical
subject. ‘The prize in the speech-making

contest; which was won by P. Dent, was a,
- large

head. of stuffed _ with

chocolates.

tinguished 1917, who are back twenty-six
strong, with headquarters at Pembroke-
“ast, under C. Hall.

"1912

Out of a graduating class of sixty-five,
1912 has forty-five back. They are carry-
ing out most organized festivities, begin-
ning with a Baby Show, where some eight
husbands were also on exhibition, and con-
tinuing through a class banquet where such
interesting topics as, “The Dangerous Age
‘of Thirty or What Ten Years Can “Do to
One,” and “How ‘Not to Be ‘Too Good a
Mother,” were discussed. Ort Saturday
they unveiled a tablet in the cloisters to
Marjorie Walter Goodhart, who. died in
1920, and in whose memory ‘a chair of
European history was founded in that
year. Their costume is a long blue cape
and an elaborate blue butterfly headress.

1910
On account of the change in schedule
under the new re-uning plan, 1910 is back
this year only . informally.
1909
Insurgent Hitidus with yellow skirts, red
capes embroidered in Phoenixes and topped
with a peacock feather represent 1909.
Twenty-four of them are back with head-
quarters in -Denbigh.
‘ 1908
One hundred and twenty-eight babies is

" the achievement of which 1908 boasts the

most. Forty of the class are back and
some have come all the way from India
or California to attend this re-union. Their
class insignia are very . appropriately
stamped with birds which look much like
stérks, but which they assert are herons,
their class animal. They proudly number
among their returned members a lawyer,
an osteopath, and the manager of the New
York Theatre Guild. %

1907

Forty-eight of 1907 are back, bringing

with them a reunion gift for the Romance

Language Department. They aré wearing

green scarfs stamped: with gurtles, and.

green earrings, stockings, and balloons.
1902
1902. are especially fortunate in having
several members living near or in Bryn
Mawr who are “teaing” and taking care
of them. There are forty-five of them

-back, dressed as Dutch Cleanser Women;

the “Rosemary Girls” are giving “The Dark
Lady of the Sonnets” at the banquet, which
is a very ambitious affair witha poem
for each member’

Forty-four of 1897 are back and are

entering into alumnae activities most en-
thusiastically.

On Tuesday they are hav-

first alumnae play ever staged at com-
mencement. time, was. presented in the|'
gymnasium last evening. It was preceded’
by a repetition of “The Styip and ;the
Savory,” which. Mrs. Russell, Miss Mid-
dlemore and Mlle. Trotain acted with
great success for the benefit of Russian
famine relief last March,- The proceeds
of this petformance are to. be divided
between ‘tht Students’ Building and a
fund for enlarging .the Philadelphia
Matriculation Scholarship.

. A distinctive setting was given to the

rplay by a stage on two levels, represent-

ing a. ’street, overhung by a médieval
battlemented balcony which opened on
the room where the principal action took
place? Well interpreted parts and charm-
ing costumes completed a delightful per-
formance.

although Varsity showed the advantage of
more recent practice, and both played a
hard, fast game.
with a series of long shots at the goals
by A. Nicoll and E. Cope, soon settled
down to a steadier, if less spectacular level.

A straight throw byA. Nicoll, followed
by a side shot by E. Anderson, at once
gave Varsity the lead, a- position which,
though often. seriously threatened by the
alumnae team, was never lost. K. Wood-
ward, ’21, excelled in-several.-hand to hand
fights with F. Martin, and receiving the
ball which had zig-zagged dawn the length
of the pool, netted the second alumnae goal.

Line- “up, was :

Alumnae—K. Woodward, 21%: M. Mor-
ton, ’21*; E. Helmar, ’20; E. Bliss, ’21; E.
