ONCE MORE 1917 AND 1918 TIE

At the beginning of the second half, M.
Willard put 1917 in the lead by making

MR. KING’S RECITAL A GREAT
SUCCESS

Cee

One of the greatest treats of the winter
was given, Friday evening, through the
generosity of Mr. King. The announce-
ment of his recital drew students, faculty,

from Bryn Mawr and Philadelphia until
the Chapel was packed to the gallery. The
audience showed its genuine appreciation



| plause. The selections were admirably
| Suited to the audience, and the order was
| such as to produce the greatest dramatic
‘effect.
sary to comment upor Mr. King’s control
of technique and facial expression. The
| very difficult change from one character
| to another in dialogue, as for example
from Shylock to Antonio, showed su-
preme mastery of the art. One moment
he set the audience laughing with
delight at the elfin pranks of Queen
Mab; the next he held them breathless
| and spell-bound with the vivid hoiror
/of “Clarence’s Dream.” ‘President Thomas
/was justified in declaring Mr. King
the superior of Forbes-Robertson in
his impersonation of Shylock. Those
who have enjoyed the privilege of
| Mr. King’s classes have learned to ap-
|preciate the importance of vibration and

‘rhythm—the effective use of which was
illustrated strikingly in reproducing the

‘sound of galloping horse throughout the
| poem “How They Brought the Good News
From Ghent to Aix.” The recital cul-
minated in the stirring “Charge of the
Light Brigade.” About $94.00 were added

“The News” feels rather bashful about
putting itself forward in its new guise.
The change is not made because we long
for new worlds to conquer; indeed, our
present world remains in a state of more
or less barbarism. It is a sense of duty
which compels us. Subscribers have
written time and again that they want
more reading matter for their money.
Contributors, on the other hand, have
complained that often their material is
left out, because there is no room. We
dare to increase the size of the sheet
in the face of the errors which so often
appear in it, because we believe that it
will be as easy to correct mistakes with
more material as with less. It is prac-
tice and efficient management which will
make “The News” the correct and digni-
fied publication which we long for it to
become.



The Editor has received a letter signed
by a “Friend.” They will be glad to pub-
lish it, if the writer will send them her
name in accordance with the rule previ-
ously announced.





The “News” is very sorry to hear that
serious confusion resulted from an am-
biguous notice in last week’s issue.
There are evidently two undergraduates
answering to the initials M. G. B. The
numerals 1916 should have been added
to the letters signing the “Morning
Watch.” We apologize to the other M.
G._B. for the annoyance the mistake
must have caused her.

To the Editor of “The College News,”
Madam:

A college woman in an audience al-
ways takes off her hat. We have been
brought up to consider this as like to the
laws of the Medes and Persians. Yet at
Chapel the other Sunday night my view
of the preacher was entirely eclipsed by
the mortar board in front of me. Out-
side visitors in my neighborhood seemed
also inconvenienced by the rows of tall
caps before them. The wearing of cap
and gown to college affairs is no doubt
impressive. But would it not be possible
to remove the cap before the sermon?
The comfort of the audience at large
would not then be sacrificed to the dig-

fore five minutes after. If the door is

\not locked then, anyway the lecture has

commenced, or at least dozens of mas-
culine feet have to be walked over before
dozens of critical eyes to reach a seat.
How much less nerve racking a life this
is! It is rather difficult at first to avoid
the imputation of undue greediness for
the divine crumbs of that which is
power; but one learns not to jump at the
sound of the bell.
Thirdly, in the list of comforts, the
library made me gasp. Instead of loung-
ing comfortably in a leather upholstered
chair before a more or less cheerful fire,
at X one grows to be extremely
grateful for a mere vacant seat, hard
and uninviting, and in the evening
strains one’s eyes beneath ceiling lights.
Last, most immediately obvious fond





nity of the students.
An Undergraduate.



Dear Editor:

May we consider for a moment the |
poor harassed choir mistress, who is re-
sponsible for choosing hymns to suit
everyone in college and who has to con-|
sider also the result in equality and
volume which the singing of these hymns |
will produce? Many are the complaints
which reach her ears, of monotony and
conservatism; individuals quite naturally
wish to have their favorite hymns sung
on all occasions.’ Now these hymns, how-
ever beautiful, may be practically un-
known to the majority of chapel-going
students so that indiscriminate choice
might be disastrous but, on the other
hand, it seems unnecessary that we
should be bound to the hymns that we
have always sung. Every undergraduate
that has attended class song practices
can read music at least well enough to
know when the tune goes up and when
it goes down, and with the trained lead-
ership of the choir could, with a little
effort, determine how far up or down.
Might it not be left to the discretion of
the choir mistress to select from a num-
ber of individual choices given to her
certain hymns, new or old, which we
might safely sing? Perhaps then the
monotony would be relieved and the com-
plaints on that ground lessened, for we
would take some of the responsibility on
ourselves. A little seriousness and effort
would lead to new effort and consequent
improvement in the singing and perhaps
the choir mistress would have a more

peaceful time.

Dear Editor:

In spite of the traditional odiousness of
comparisons, they seem alluring pitfalls.
At home, during the holidays, I must
settle the whole question of co-education
versus segregation, and here is pro-
pounded the same dangerous conundrum:
What is the difference between my Alma
Mater and Bryn Mawr? No doubt the
facetious sandwich is hidden in the ques-
tion too. But someone has to bite.

In such case it is a great temptation
to indulge in wise, lengthy, and harmless

abstractions as befitting a graduate stu-
dent: but I judge that practical informa-

tion is desired, such as to enable Bryn
Mawrters to appreciate their blessings
and petition against their yet unrecog-
Briefly, then, a few vital
details. To begin at the beginning, in
the university town with which I am
most familiar, from two to six mornings
a week one swallows a cup of coffee,
seizes a piece of toast, and if lucky ar-

most uncomfortable, the woman who at-

| tends my university goes hatted and
| suited; at Bryn Mawr is seen the “col-

lege girl” as advertised. The distinction
is not wholly superficial. Where no
beneficent self-government association
guides erring footsteps, where no chap-
eron guarantees. respectability,
rules are absent and criticism rampant—
there conventionality reigns supreme.

Robinson Crusoe, who obeyed no laws
but stirred from his straight path of pru-
dence at the risk of his scalp; not that
of the Philadelphia citizen who is quite
safe as long as he doesn’t break an
ordinance.



Perhaps in the light of recent agita-!

tions, this is the key to the conundrum.
At the University we were ruled by con-
vention, at Bryn Mawr we are governed
by rule. Question from the pessimist
which is the worst?

A Graduate Student.



Dear Editor:

I just received from Paris an admirable
letter which I would like to be in “The
College News,” if possible. This letter is
from Dr. Andoyer, a well-known mathe-
matician, professor at the University of
Paris. He has also been teaching at the
“Lycée Fenelon” for twenty years. This
letter was sent to the head of the
“Lycée” and she was asked to communi-
cate it to his pupils. __

I have been myself one of his pupils,
and it would be a great joy for me to see
this wonderful letter. in “The College
News.”

Very sincerely yours,
Yvonne Tertois.

The above letter was sent by Mme.
Cons to some of her friends at Bryn
Mawr. She wished she could write to
her students individually, for she has
pleasant memories of them, but found
she had not time. She reports that M.
Cons was safe up to the 29th of January.

mere Conference next summer are re-
quested to sign.

For the benefit of those who have never
heard of Eaglesmere add the follow-
ing: this conference for college and
school girls is held at the end of June,
lasting into the first week of July. Bagles-
mere is in the central: part of Pennsyl-
vania. For further particulars, see the
circular of the East Central Student Con-
ference, which is on the Federation desk
in the C. A. Library.

Bible and Mission Classes.—Partly
owing to the Freshman Show and the bad
weather, the Bible and Mission classes
last week were not as well attended as
formerly. Some people, to be sure, prob-
ably found they were not as interested as
they expected and therefore stayed away,
but it seems more likely that the falling
off in attendance is due to carelessness.
If the college wants these classes, the
girls who, a few weeks ago, declared
themselves willing to attend, must show
their willingness now.

The subjects for next week are as fol-|
lows: H. Taft, “Isaiah”; A. Grabau, ‘“The
Miracles of Christ”; Miss Applebee, “Wit-
nesses of the Doctrines of Christ’; R.|
Sato, “Japanese Women”; Mrs. Branson,
“Preventive Medical Missions—Hygiene |
and Sanitation,’ Mrs. Carroll Brown |
(Anna Hartshorn, 12) will speak on “Tu-|
berculosis and Methods of Preventing It.”

Finance Committee.—We have ai
ceived $50.00 from: the alumne since |
the last notices were sent out. Mount |
Holyoke is the only other woman’s |
college where the alumne belong to the |
Christian Association and pay dues. |
There are two great advantages of having |
them members; one is that it makes it|
possible for them to keep in touch with
the work of the Christian Association in|
College, the other that we receive their |
financial aid. We must not, however, be |
dependent upon their contributions, for)
they have many other interests out of |
college. Several of the alumne have |
resigned this year because their other |
demands were so great. We regret that)
they have felt they must do so and we|
thank them for their help; their letters |
which show their interest in the Associ-
ation.



REPORTS FROM VASSAR



The delegates to the Intercollegiate |
Christian Association Conference at Vas-
sar gave their reports at a meeting on |
Monday. Ruth Tinker first told the pro-||
gram. The Bryn Mawr delegates reached |
Vassar in time for dinner Friday night. |
Immediately after Chapel that evening |

| discussed. - The presidents also met to}
talk over board meetings, and on. Sun-
day morning there was a final devotional
meeting.

Then Mary Branson told of the finances
in the different associations. Most of
them have a budget which is larger than
ours in proportion to their membership.
They have no Finance Committee, so
their money is not pledged and then col-
lected, but it is either given in a col-
lection at Sunday Chapel, or put in an
envelope which is collected at the end of
the semester. Their money is given
about equally to home and foreign mis-
sions. In most cases the missionaries
whom they support are their own alumnze
whom they keep in touch with through
a Correspondence Committee. It is dif-
ficult to compare some of their other ac-

+



tivities, for they do not belong to the
Christian Association. At Vassar the |
work done by our Maids’ and Settlement |
Committees is combined in the Maids’ |
Club House, which is managed by the |
Students’ Association. At Smith the Em-
ployment Bureau is an important feature. |

It is in charge of the general secretary, |
who is a recent alumna. Wellesley and |
Smith both have general secretaries |
whose salaries are a. large item on their |
budgets, and whose aid they feel is in-
dispensable. Wellesley and Mt. Holyoke |
are connected with the Young Woman’s |
Christian Association.

Next Bleanor Dulles reported on mis-
sion classes which are conducted much

about one-third the membership, which is
a slightly better proportion than ours.
At Vassar they have reading circles or-
ganized after the other classes, at which
such books as those of Dr. Grenfell are
Almost all the classes are
graded according to the academic year,
and are often run in connection with re-
quired Bible Classes. The speakers often

got the outlines for their,course at the+

|Silver Bay Conference. There are nor-
imal classes for the leaders, which are
taught by outside speakers. In addition
‘to these, there are classes to prepare
'girls for practical work, such as the or-
| ganization of Eight Weeks Clubs. These

are clubs to bring together the girls of |}

country communities by giving them a
lplace of meeting and some common in-
'terests. The canvassing for the classes
jis done by halls within a limited time.
Most associations subscribe to mission-
arv magazines, which are put with the
others in the sitting-rooms.
