REVIVAL OF FENCING MATCH



Undergraduates to Fence Once More
Against the Alumnz

Soon after Easter vacation the Alum-
ne and the undergraduates are to fence
against each other. Since 1912, the un-
dergraduates have been unable to re-
spond to the challenge of the Alumne,
but once more they feel bold enough to
try their skill. In the two matches which
have been held between these two teams,
the Alumnz have both times been vic-
torious. In 1911, E. Kirkbride, '96; B.
09; C. Wesson, '09, for the)
Alumne, fenced against a Varsity team, |
K. Chambers, °11; H. Emerson, ’11; M.
Hobart, 11, with a score of 6-3, and in
1912, K. Chambers, '11; B. Ehlers, ‘09;
E. Kirkbride, ’96, and G. Biddle, '09, de-
feated E. Hurd, '12, Captain; A. M. Tay-
lor; "18; I.- Vincent, '12:: H. Stix, *14;: C.
Hewitt, °15.

The fencers among the undergraduates
elected E. Rapallo to manage the team. |
Practice for this team will be held in the)
gymnasium on Tuesday night at quarter
before nine. ‘

Congratulations to 1918 and welcome to
their class animal! The Mongoose was
very active even after dyeing. The orig-
inality and artisticness of the posters an-
nouncing the Freshman Show were ri-
valled by the show itself. Such an excel-
lent production is possible only with great
attention to detail, indefatigable work
and the co-operation of the whole class.
It is especially difficult to get a Freshman
class to work together and to fit the dif-
ferent members into the right positions.
On this score as well as on the success
of her stage managing much credit is due
C. Dodge.

The first act at Bryn Mawr is, of course,
not new; in fact, it is extremely trite, but
it was saved by the original execution, by
the hockey chorus especially.

The second and third acts were the
really original parts of the performance.
It’s a long jump from Bryn Mawr to
Egypt and takes inventive genius. This
was furnished in great part by V. Pome-
roy, who designed the scenery of the sec-
ond act, the inside of a Pyramid looking

out on the Nile, and to Mary Senior, chair-

man of the committee on scenery. It

|.was the chef d’ceevre of the evening. The

accuracy of the hieroglyphics on the wall
and the mummy cases, together with the
excellent posing of the frieze, and the
scarab on its altar, created immediately
an ancient Egyptian atmosphere. The
audience marveled at the composure of
M. Scott, the scarab, in maintaining so
difficult a position throughout the act, in
which she sang admirably several times.
The mummies suddenly hopping out of
their cases startled the audience into
shouts of laughter. The next feature, the
College in 2000 B:C., was fine, especially

MISS KING’S SPEECH IN CHAPEL



On the Annual Exhibition of the Philadel-
phia Academy of Fine Arts

The Exhibition has been running long
enough now for most of you to have seen
it and all of you to have heard about it.
The general opinion seems to be that
might have been very much
worse, yet it might have been a good
deal better. My own impression, the first -
time that I saw it, was confirmed when
i went back to study the pictures, that
while the general level of work is fair
and very little comes lagging as far as
the ideals of 1840 on the Hudson River,
which appear every year in the Academy
in New York, yet none of the great splen-
did stirring things which ft remember hav-
ing seen at the Philadelphia Academy
(not in my childhood, for everything
seems stirring then, but not so many
years ago), are in this Exhibition. Just
to. confirm my own impression of what
might be the reason for this, I went to
New York and walked through Fifth
Avenue, stopping at the picture dealers’
shops, for it is they who can tell what
pictures will be successful. A great So-
cialist lately said that no great and good
thing was ever brought to pass except
on commercial grounds. Things get
done not because they are right, but be-
cause they are needed. The picture
dealers can tell you which way the
stream is going to run. And after I had
sat down in the Metropolitan Museum at
the top of Fifth Avenue, foot-sore and
weary, I knew the reason there was
nothing more surprising and more per-
sonal in the Academy was because the
artists knew that doing that kind of
thing would insure them immediate
rejection by the Hanging Committee.

I am going to speak this morning about
the pictures that strike you first, then I
am going on with the new names. When-
ever I go to an exhibition, I try to bring
away with me one or two names that |
have not ‘heard of before. They may not
be entirely new, but at least I have not
heard of them. For the next time I shall
leave the question of the prizes and why
they were given and why they should or
should not have been given and also say
something about the portrait and land
scape painting in a more general way.

The first thing one sees is the beaut!

Entered as second-class matter September 26, 1914, at the
“Dost office at Bryn Mawr, fa under the
Act of Mareh 3, 1870

To come through four years of college
and still to be completely in the dark as
to what one’s proper “job” may be seems
incredibly stupid. Yet how many Seniors
are still at a loss as to what sort of work
to take up next year! How many apply
to teachers’ agencies not because of any
liking or aptitude, but merely because
there seems nothing else to do. Shut
up for four years with only college inter-
ests and college experiences, it is no
wonder that a student, unless exception-
ally gifted, has no very clear idea of
what sort of things there are to do out
in the world, which of them she is fitted
to do, or even which she would like to
do. Yet after these years of liberal edu- |
cation it is generally necessary to know |
where to begin work or specialized train- |
ing. Quite apart from psychological |
clinics or the vocational bureaus of |
Miinsterburg discussed in our psychology |
classes, college should certainly give a.
student some sense of direction, some
inkling of the opportunities before her.
At Barnard the Freshmen are offered an
“Introductory Course in Sciences.” This
consists of a _ series of lectures out-
lining briefly the important features
of the scientific studies. One month
is devoted to physics, one to _ bio-
logy, etc. The student before she
commits herself for her whole college
course, has, therefore, a chance to find
out that-biology deals with amoeba and
rabbits, while for physics, one must have
a clear head and an interest in siphons
and wave motions. Why could not this
scheme be transferred to the vocational
field? Why not an “Introductory Course
in Jobs”? A one- or two-hour course
could give time to law, medicine, jour-
nalism, business, library work, social
work, teaching, etc. It might be given as
a free elective counting in with the regu-
lar fifteen hours of work, or it might be
added as a special privilege for Seniors.
Four to six lectures on any of the sub-
jects could give one a very satisfactory
idea of the type of work, the particular |
qualities necessary for success, the ac-
tual conditidns, the way to prepare, to)
begin, the cliances of advancement, spe-
cial opportunities. If nearby lawyers or
doctors could not be obtained to give the
lectures, it seems to us it would be pos-
sible to secure some one whose business |
it might be to find out definite and full
details of the openings for women. This |
would be in line with the new profession
of Vocational Guide, which has been
created by many of the city public!
schools. Bryn Mawr has in the past, of
course, chiefly encouraged its students to |
teach. But the overcrowding of the |
teaching ranks, and the fact that women
are more and more entering other pro-|
fessions, must be considered. The col-
lege should also seek to extend the in-
fluence of its students in those other ac-
tivities in which women are becoming
more and more effective.





“We believe that 1908 started the tradi-

tion of the necessity of having the class_

animal of the same hue as the class ban-
ner. The Freshmen certainly managed to

break and to remake the tradition in a
highly diverting and original manner. On

them with being “dyed dark blue,” and
so, when “of a different shade was their
animal made,” they promptly and effect-
ively pressed the dye vat into service.
We wonder if this will start a tradition
of futurist class animals, and a vision of
red frogs, blue tigers, green mice, light
blue élephants rises before us. In spite
of Kipling’s story of the heroic Rikki-
tikki-tavi, the mongoose has not hitherto
been looked on as a popular household
pet, nor is it even well known to history.
Speculations were rife on Saturday night
as to the real nature of the beast. Was it
a bird, a species of wild cat, or a myth?
For the benefit of our readers we print
from Oliver Herford’s ‘“Child’s Primer of

Natural History” the following tribute to)

the mongoose:

THE MONGOOSE

This, children, is the famed Mongoose,
He has an appetite abstruse.

Strange to relate, this creature takes

A curious joy in eating snakes—

All kinds—though, it must be confessed,
He likes the poisonous ones the best.
From him we learn how very small

A thing can bring about a Fall.

Oh, Mongoose, where were you that day,
When Mistress Eve was led astray?

If you’d but seen the serpent first,

Our parents would _not have been cursed, |

And so there would be no excuse
For Milton, but for you, Mongoose.

PROFESSOR BAKEWELL. SPEAKS ON
NIETZSCHE BEFORE THE



The lecturer gave a very interesting ac-
count of Nietzsche’s doctrine, of its sup-
posed relation to the present war, and of

phy. He did not think that Nietzsche, or
any writer, could be made responsible for
the war,.or for Germany’s part ‘in. it.
There was indeed a group of writers in
Germany who in recent times had formu-
lated a warlike philosophy. Nietzsche
was one of these. Treitschke and
Nietzsche had had a low opinion of each
other, and had not co-operated. On the
other hand, Bernhardi’s well-known book
bore on its title page as a motto
|Nietzsche’s words: “War and” courage
'have done more great things than char-
ity.” This was significant of Nietzsche’s
influence. But these writers had in this
|matter expressed a general undercurrent
‘of feeling in Germany. The ideas ex-
| pressed by them had moreover been gen-
erally acted on by all countries in inter-
inational affairs in the past. e notable
‘thing was that the soto ruthless
aggression, though it might have been
| practiced by other countries, was in Ger- |



|many plainly stated by some writers as a |
| philosophic principle.

Nietzsche’s teaching,

tinuation of evolutionism. This idea had
been applied by English writers.
English had stopped short when they!
‘came to the problem of morals. They |
found in nature evidences of strife and |
struggle; but they held that in morals the |
‘processes of nature were being reversed
by the action of altruistic impulses. The |

| moral world was tending towards a state

of frictionless peace and adjustment. It
would end in undisturbed industrialism.

statement of the feeling in the mind of
more reflective militarists. “Its [war’s]
horrors are a cheap price to pay for res-
cue from the only alternative supposed, of
a world of clerks and teachers, of co-
education and zoophily, of ‘consumer’s
leagues’ and ‘associated charities,’ of in-
dustrialism unlimited and feminism una-

any more! Fie upon such a cattleyard of
a planet!” The lecturer thought, with
James, that the central essence of this
feeling was a: valuable part of man’s na-
ture.

Professor Bakewell said there could be
no question of accepting the Nietzschean
creed in its totality. But Nietzsche had
disturbed many who were “woefully at
ease in Zion.” He was at least a counter-
poison to sentimentalism. Taken in large
doses he might be fatal, but in smaller
doses he was an incomparable tonic.
Nietzsche was a prophet of the heroic
and valorous life, and as such his influ-
ence would continue both in and outside

pictures with all their color, is that he is
an instructor in the Academy.

When you look at the little nude lady |
by Arthur Carles, which is very white, |
almost the color of plaster, on a white |
background, it probably seems to you |
that the space composition is all wrong. |
But if you stir about the room a bit you |
will find a small space on the floor where |
the whole thing falls into the right per- |

should. It has substance. Although his |
control of color in this is odd, you find in |
the same room with it another great)
thing of his called “A French Bouquet,” |
the color of which burns and glows.

His mountains are real, they are as hard |

caught abroad like the rest of us. The
outcome of it was that having felt real-

Maud Bryant is another new name.
She is apparently a Philadelphia woman,
who has a great deal of delightful color.
In a series of arrangements of flowers
and brilliant silken stuffs, she has
thought of an almost perfect and quite
beautiful design.

The best of the work in the main is
tiful pictures of mother and child by
Mary Cassatt. These have been ex-
hibited in New York and Paris again and
again. Of the four pieces by Howard
Cushing hung in a row, the ‘one which |
is called “Spirea and Single Dahlias” has |
a real and perfect design.

Childe Hassam’s little group is getting
thinner. I think it is because the blood
is running slower in his veins. Where
he could give you the vigor and play of
his strength ten years ago, and would
make the dive into the pool, so to speak,

the sort of pallor that comes at times in
August and gives the promise of Autumn.

fields of women’s activity. The Depart-

MISS ANNE WIGGIN TO TALK ABOUT
244 SPRING STREET

On Sunday, Miss Anne Wiggin 1s go-
ing to speak at Vespers on the work of
the Neighborhood House at Spring
| Street. Miss Wiggin, who is a graduate
of Smith College, started her work with
Mr.-Bates-about five years ago,.and-since
Mr Bates’ death has been the mainstay
of the house. Every one who has stayed
at, Spring Street, or at the ‘“Bates’
Camp,” has seen Miss Wiggin’s wonder-
ful power of managing people. They will
remember her tactful dealing with deli-
cate situations, as for example when
every visitor at the camp insists on hav-
ing the best front bedroom, and her
cheerful, humorous way of keeping every
one’s best side on top, even when they
have to do “what they ain’t accustomed
to,” and will welcome another chance of
hearing her talk on the work she does
so well. Those who do not know Spring
Street and its charms should not miss

|this opportunity of making its acquaint-

gnce,

NEW BOOK ON PHILADELPHIA

One of the recent additions to the New
Pook Room is Elizabeth Robin Pennell’s
“Our Philadelphia.” “It is the story of
the old Philadelphia that has passed and
the new Philadelphia that-is passing, a
record that in a few years will be impos-
sible to make, so continually is Philadel-
nhia changing.”. The hundred and five
iiustrations by her husband, Joseph Pen-
nell, are as charming as Mrs. Pennell's
éescriptions. Many of them picture
quaint, out of the way spots little known
to us for whom Philadelphia means the
noise and confusion of Chestnut and Mar-
ket Streets. The book is written as Mrs..
Pennell herself says, “simply for the
pleasure of gathering together every old
memory of a town” dear to her as her
native place, “and every new impression
of it after an absence of a quarter. of a
century.” n :

The Annual Week-end Conference of
the Christian Association is to be held
this week. Especially good speakers
have been secured, as all those who have
heard Miss Wiggins, Mr. Moldenhauer,
and Mr. Ross can testify. Dr. Molden-
hauer was one of the finest speakers at
the Eaglesmere Conference.

Special prayer meetings for every one
are being held every day, including Sat-
urday, this week, in the C. A. library, in
connection with this conference. They
are held at 8. 15 A. M. and take the place

of the regular board prayer meetings: ©

Federation Committee.—Miss Rouse
has very kindly lent us her journals on
Austria- Hungary and Russia for the|M
year. They have been -put on the Fed-
eration desk in the C. A. library and any
one who would be interested in the lives
of the students of Austria-Hungary and
Russia is advised to read them. They
are to be sent back at Easter time. The
journals throw a strong light on the con-
ditions in Southeastern Europe and Rus-
sia which have made the war almost
inevitable.

At the next Wednesday evening meet-
ing (March 17th) the two most interest-
ing letters, Austria, No. 6, and Russia,

No. 3, will be read. Some of the most /# MoM

interesting letters are Austria, Nos. 2 and
3, and Russia, Nos. 9 and 10.

Bible and Mission Study Classes.—Mrs.
Branson’s class discusses the native
practices in the different Oriental
countries and the attitude of the people
towards the medical work among them.
The superstitious treatments were often
horrible; for instance, they burn out
wounds which they have filled with dirty
sticks and cones. They use plasters for
all ills, frequently making soup out of
them. The optimistic friends of the pa-
tients confidently expect the missionaries
to take off limbs, mend them and fasten
them securely in place again.

The class for the study of the Prophets,
led by Helen Taft, in three successive
Amos, Hosea, and Micah. They have com-
pared the conceptions which each of these
Prophets had—of Jehovah, of sin, of pun-
ishment, and of the future history of
Israel. For example, Amos preached of
the justice of God, Hosea of His love, and
Micah of His power.

Topics for March 17th
Wednesdays has taken up the study of
H. Taft—‘Isaiah.”
A. Grabau—“The Miracles of Christ.”
E. B. Kirk—“Sin and the World.”
_ Mrs. Branson—‘“Preventive Medicine.”
Ryu Sato—“Japanese Religions.”

COMPETITION FIRE DRILLS



With a Prize for the Best Hall

In order to make people take more in-
terest in fire drills, it was decided at the
beginning of the year to have competitive
fire drills between the different halls. At
any time now, the judges, Mr. Tom
Foley, Miss Watson, and I. Zeckwer may
come into the hall and turn on the fire
alarm, all unknown to the hall cap-

tain. The drill will be judged for quick-
ness, quietness, and general effectiveness.
The money, which has been collected as
fines for various infringements, will be
used to buy, as a prize, electric fash!

FRESHMEN VICTORY



‘

‘Thursday ‘night saw another hard-

‘fought water polo game between the

Sophothores and Freshmen, the latter
coming off victorious. Although several
of her best people did not play, 1917
put up a very good game. She was, how-
ever, unable to withstand the fierce on-
slaught of the Freshmen. P. Turle, '18,
distinguished herself by making three
goals, and A. Alexander, '18, made an-
other one of her famous shots from the



center of the pool. The final score was
5-0 in 1918’s favor. The line-up was as
follows: .

TIED FOR THE THIRD TIME

The 1917 and 1918 water-polo teams
persist in keeping everyone in suspense
by continuing to play tie games. The
game Monday night was particularly
thrilling because 1917 made two goals
during the first half, then in the begin-
ning of the second half 1918 scored two.
The defense on both teams played better
games than the forwards, A. Davis, 1917,

keeping out some very difficult balls. The
