' THE LURE

At Senior: Reception

A very clever skit, entitled ‘The Lure,
or Why Girls Come to College,” was given
at the Senior-Freshman reception on Sat-
urday evening. The plot in brief synopsis
is as follows: a board of sub-Freshmen
(M. Harlan, A. Hornberger, C.°Sutch, M.
Free) are in search of a college. First,
they see Wellesley, with its famous crew
(M..Morgan, E. Freer, A. Brown, J. Dem-.
ing, E. Pugh, E. Smith, K. MeCollin, M.
Goodhue). Then they see the joys of life
at Smith, flanked by Williams and Am-
herst; coy Smith maidens (H, Bradford,
R. Hopkinson, I, Smith, A. Humphrey)
entertain college men (EE. Dessau, A.
Scudder, F, Hatton, C. Taber, H. Everett,
D. Moore), who sing to them the classics,
“The Only Thing for Speeds to Do,” and
“English.” Next, life at Radcliffe is
viewed, where Frivolity (D. Perkins) tries’
in vain to dance her way into the hearts
of the grinds (I. Foster, M. Bradway, M.
Chamberlain, K. Snodgrass, chard, A. Martin). But the Football Tro-
phy, from Yale, 4215 A. D.; the Debating
Cup, from Harvard Law, 2116 A. D.; the
New Organ and other’features win them
to Bryn Mawr, where “you can’t get
around the factlty.” The performance
was witty and ably executed.

THE 150th ANNIVERSARY OF
BROWN UNIVERSITY

Degree of LL.D. Conferred on President
Thomas

At the closing of the five-day celebra-
tion of the 150th Anniversary of Brown
University on Friday, the University ad-
dress was followed by. the conferring of
37 honorary degrees. President Thomas
was the only woman singled out.to Re
ceive one of these honors. President

|/Faunce’s characterization in conferring

this degree on President Thomas was as
|follows: “LL.D., M. Carey Thomas, in the
| higher education of women, a courageous,
efficient and honored leader.” Among the
86. men to receive honorary degrees were
ex-President W. H. Taft; A. L. Lowell,
. T. Hadley, Pres-
ident of Yale; J. C. Hibben, President. of
J. Goodnow, President of
Paul Shorey, Shailer
Butler, President of

Johns Hopkins;
Mathews, and N, M.

THE MOUNTAIN WHITES

‘

The first of a series of meetings. wnder

ithe auspices of the Mission Study ‘Com-

mittee was held on Wednesday, October
14th. Miss Patsy Bratton spoke of the
work among the mountain whites in Ken-
tucky. She took.up her work in Canoe, Ky.,
a year ago last January. Her predecessor
in the position had been stabbed by the
intoxicated men of the village. Her first
was-very-nervous, and_after a
wort ott-by the

strain; her second stayed only a few
weeks; the third, the most efficient help
she had had, was taken with smallpox.

They conducted a day school and Sunday
school, both of which were attended by
grown men as well as children. As soon
as the men were under the influence of
liquor, they would begin to fight, and Miss
Bratton was more than once called to
step in between drawn knives. The su-
perintendent of the district came to
Canoe to conduct revival services, Fora
week they were unable to see any results
of their meetings and prayers, but at the
last meeting one after the other the
worst men of the village came to the front
and accepted Christ. When Miss Bratton
went home from that meeting she found a
pledge signed by 24 men, saying that.no
more liquor should “hg, sold in Canoe.
From that time on Canoe was a different
village, and yet there ‘is still a great deal
of work to be done there. The people
are ignorant, poor,’'and often sick. They
need shoes, clothes, white rags for
bandages, and, in fact, they’ can make
use of almost anything. Junk is sending
them, some of these things, but many
more are desired. Some Bryn Mawr
students have thought that they, might
like to go there to work during the sum-

mer. For further information, see Laura
Branson, or write to Miss Bratton -at
Canoe.

RULE CONCERNING ATTENDANCE
AT LECTURES
Undergraduates Take Action
The Undergraduate Association sent a
committee last week to talk with Presi-
dent Thomas about the new faculty rule
concerning attendance at lectures. The
committee was instructed by direct vote of
the Association toysexpress the agreement
of the undergraduates in the necessity for
some sort of cut rule, but to register the
protest; of ‘the students. against. the se-
verity of the present rule. The commit-
tee asked for a modification of the sys-
tem; that a student might be allowed as
many free cuts a semester as she had

hours of academic work a week and thae=™

the penalty incurred for overcutting
might” "be a deferred examination for
every lecture missed beyond the number
of “free .cuts,” the subject of the exami-
nations to be determined by the office.
The undergraduates. felt: that a rule
which allowed them no “free cuts” was a
pretty severe one, and that the lowering
of grades. for non-attendance at lectures
was bound to make those yrades a mis-
academic work and
standing. :

President ‘Thomas told the committee
that the point of view of the faculty was

directly opposed to that of the Under-
graduates and that the faculty could

grant no unexcused cuts whatever. She
expressed the wish that she herself might
present the faculty side of the question
to the students. The Undergraduate As-
sociation, therefore, has invited President
Thomas ..to speak at a mass meeting
called for the discussion of the rule in re-
gardte-attendance-atleetures.__Fheneet-
ing will probably be held Wednesday or
Thursday of this week.

Complaints’ for not publishing radical |

editorials on subjects of present interest
havé reached the editors during the last

week. We take this opportunity to state.
our policy in the matter.- “The College |

News” means to stand: for Bryn Mawr as

a whole—the undergraduates, the alum-.

ne, the faculty, and the friends of the
college. The other publications stand for
specific interests—the “Alumnze Quar-
terly” for the alumne, ‘“Typn o’ Bob’ for
the undergraduates. The chief aim of

“The College News” we repeat, is to.

strengthen community feeling.

Our correspondence column is open to
everybody for brief discussion of indi-
vidual opinions.

CORRESPONDENCE COLUMN
(The Editors do not hold themselves re-
sponsible for the opinions expressed in
this column.)
To the Editor of “The College News”: .
I write to protest against your very

careless proofreading. A paragraph or |

two of comment on the new Debating So-
ciety, which I sent to last week’s issue,
was so altered when it appeared that it

became sheer--nonsense,and,—at—points+

quite the opposite of what had been writ-
ten. The particular instance is, perhaps,
of no great importance, but I insist on
my complaint in the hope that it will
move you to more careful handling of
future contributions. You will have few
contributors if you cannot give assurance
that you will print what is sent you. with-
out any‘alterations. Luckily, a bad repu-
tation is not established by one offense,
especially if the first offense serves as a
warning.
E. A. SHEARER.

(The Editors regret exceedingly these
mistakes, and are grateful for having
such errors brought to their notice.)

To the Editors:

Do you realize the results of the first
orals? In French, only four people passed
who have not had preparations beyond
entrance requirements. Of the 87 who
passed, 21 had had .a major language
(you see major Latin helps nearly as
much as minor French), six had studied
abroad and the other six had had as much
as minor French, That makes 54 per
cent failures or 10 per cent more than
have ever occurred since records have
been kept, i. e., since 1904. In German,
we came through a little better, though
49 per cent failed and only 40 per cent
had not had some preparation beyond en-

‘trance. The same number 40 per cent,
had had a major language and the other
,20 per cent had studied abroad.

S. BRANDEIS, ’15.

Dear Editors:

‘We’ should like very much to know
what the alumne think of the new faculty
,cut-rule, by which we are not allowed a
single cut without a penalty, which many
of us cannot possibly risk if we want our |
degrees. What can we do if our sister’s'|
| wedding cannot be .accommodated to a)
{college vacation, or if we are called home |
|for inopportune illness in our families?
| What if engines will continue to have hot- |
| boxes, so that- we miss connections for |
Bryn Mawr? We have never known the)
office. to make exceptions for such cases. |
» By this new system high marks will |
stand for sitting stolidly in classes, while
low marks will usually indicate hard luck. |
It seems better to the faculty that we/!
| should go day after day to our lectures,
like “dumb driven cattle,” rather than)
eagerly in a receptive frame of mind.

The statistics which drove the faculty to
| this rule amounted to the awful situation
of 55 per cent of a college cutting eight
times a semester; that means, out of 195
lectures, 55 per cent went of their own)
,accord to 187, and the average does not
take into account the fact that—four or}
five girls cut 60 times and one cut 120)
times. Such an outrageous number as)
120 cuts might be prevented without
bringing on the innocent an unfair rule.
| Moreover, many sickness cuts for which
| people did not get excuses were not con-
| sidered in the statistics. That leaves 43)
| per cént of the college who attended more
than 187 out of 195 lectures. Why should |
| we be ashamed of such a record? What
do the alumne think about the facts?
We consider that their opinion should
have great weight.

|

M. DODD.

To the Editors:

_In_the new rule-which-is-to deprive us.
of all cuts, the undergraduates see a
startling menace to the most cherished
institutions of Bryn Mawr. This decision,
coming without warning and, with no dis-
cussion open to the students, points to
radical changes in the fundamental prin-
ciples that have formerly made our col-
lege unique among American women’s
colleges in academic standard and demo-
cratic governmefit. We see threatened
the accuracy of the marking system and
the most essential features of personal
liberty. Have we no insight into college
problems and no means of expressing our
convictions? How:can we attract the at-
tention of the authorities to our needs
and how can we make clear our point of
view without such extreme measures as
would bring the well-ordered college life
to confusion and friendly relations to out-
and-out antagonism? It is hard to deter-
mine what course we can pursue, but
whatever seems necessary we must stand
together and adopt a course from which
there will be no retreat. We cannot se-
cure satisfaction by a feeble protest, nor
can we do it alone. . We must have the
united support of the alumnze and the
friends of the college as we make our
appeal to the faculty-and-trustees. We
have shown our eagerness to meet the
faculty half way by expressing unani-
mously our willingness to co-operate with
them in a cut rule. We have shown our

| October 24th, at 3 p. m.

desire to serve the ultimate good of the
college by making no demonstration of
our strong feeling on the subject and our
careful consideration of every point. Let

/us uphold our principles, but not blindly;
|let us say that it is the academic stand-

ard we are striving to keep intact; that it
is friendly relations between faculty and
student we wish to assure; and that it is
a reasonable degree of personal liberty
we demand. Yours sincerely,

: E. DULLES.
Dear Editors:

In Vespers last Sunday the speaker
complained: that often we do not think.
and mean eyery word we sing in our
hymns at Chapel and at Sunday services.
Her words roused a strong protest in me
and one I find that several of my friends

also feel. How can we, college students © :

and presumably thoughtful people, care to
sing as divine service hymns which we do
not mean? How can we sing, “Jerusalem,
my happy home, would God I were in
thee,” when in our hearts we are blessing

'God that we are alive and young and able

to taste the goods of this world? This
hymn I have mentioned is not the only

/one which is unappropriate; there are

many others. To sing them, you may
say: is thoughtless, but it is really more
than that; it is mockery.

Chapel

The oft-repeated question, “do you
know Christ?’ has about it an atmos-
phere which makes us feel like saying,
“no, and we do not want to.” This is
what Dr. Johnson told us. In the reply
lies the reason why the.name is so im-
potent in the Christian communities of
this age. Someone has pointed out that
the Kaiser, although he has so many
times invoked God, has never invoked
Christ. A little reflection will show that
not only the Kaiser, but the other leaders
of Christian nations have not invoked
Christ because they do not dare. In not

“. invoking Him lies their confession of

the fact that in the nations’ great
schemes and in their manner of life they
do not follow Christ, “they have not
known Christ.”

Vespers

Eleanor Dulles, ’17, spoke on deceiving
ourselves. We deceive ourselves about
what we can do, about our spiritual pos-
sessions, and about what we can become.
We should not’ say we cannot do things,
until we have truly tried. We under-
rate our spiritual powers. Finally, if we
take Christ’s injunction—‘“Be thou per-
fect, even as your Father in heaven is
perfect”—to mean an attitude of heart,
this otherwise discouraging command
lies well within our human power.

; backs, perhaps discouraged by the con-

Training Rules

In bed by 10.30. No cutting meals.
Nothing may be eaten between meals, ex-
cept fruit and one cup of tea or lemonade.
Directly after a meal, i. e., within a quar:
ter of an hour, anything may be eaten.

“Training rules must be kept! If we are
to have a team of players who can run,
going to bed late and eating between
meals must stop. Here we have been at
college playing hockey for three weeks
and half of the players: cannot run a hun-
dred yards without panting and gasping
for breath. This year the rules are more
simple than ever before, yet many act as
if they had never seen such things before.
Surely it requires but a small amount of
self-control to go to bed when our friends
are gossiping, or to watch them eat ice
cream without taking some ourselves. If
you answer the summons to Varsity, you

‘are on your honor to keep its training
rules. RUTH TINKER, Captain.

BRYN MAWR IN THE WAR ZONE



Miss Reilly, Miss Applebee and Miss
Taylor returned on the “Carpathia.”
Steerage accommodations were secured
for Miss Reilly, and half a cabin for Miss
Applebee and Miss Taylor. One of the
millionaires who were lucky possessors
of cabins, looking down upon the steerage
passengers was heard to say with com-
miseration: ‘Probably. some of those
people came from nice, clean homes.”
Miss Reilly slept on a sea-weed mattress

/on the floor in a small waiting room. A

curtain separated the room in two. A
party of fourteen girls and a chaperone
slept in the other half. Miss Applebee
and Miss Taylor slept on deck. The
sailors would wake them up to wash down
the decks early every morning. Several
times it rained during the night. This
necessitated their picking up their mat-
tresses and running with fifty other
people into a dark corridor, The idea of
mines was so firmly fixed in the minds of
some of the women, that when a
whale spouted in the .mid-Atlantic, they
screamed and ran to the ships’ officers
for protection. At Cape Race all hahds
were summoned to paint the ship: grey
because German cruisers were reported
to be near. A mass meeting was held
by the grateful refugees just before land-
ing in-which a-testimonial-was given-the
crew of the “Carpathia” for its second
passage of rescue.

Study at 7.30, Bible Study at 8.30. This.
arrangement was, however, unsatisfac-

Finance Committee: The estimated re-
ceipts this year will be $1600.00; $600.00
from dues and $1000.00 from pledges. The
{running expenses last year were $300.00,
;and they will probably be the. same this
| year, so there will be a balance of
$1300.00 to be appropriated according to
the vote of the association. There have -
been some permanent promises made in
the past which should not be given up
without serious consideration; $200.00 to
|Mr. Tonumura for support, $125.00 to
Miss Tsuda, and $125.00 to the Federation

For pleasure and profit combined,
“Winds of Doctrine’? by G. Santayana. It
is an easily read, philosophical book,
being a modern version of Spinoza’s doc-
trine of Fate in which the significance of
the individual vanishes under the iron
laws of Fate. As a fine literary produc-
tion, this book should appeal to all lovers
of beautiful English. In fact, it was given
out by the English department at Wells
a as an excellent example of the
modern say. :
