them nodded almost as persuasively as
Hebe, and together they made an entranc-

ELECTS ADELINE WERNER
PRESIDENT

The. Undergraduate Association meet-

'16, to the presidency for hext year. The
votes cast for Miss Werner made such an
overwhelming majority that the nomina-

|unanimous vote of the association. Miss
Werner took the chair for the remainder
of the evening. M. Willet, '16 was elected
Vice-President and Treasurer; D. Ship-
ley, '17, Secretary, and V. Kneeland, ‘18,
Assistant Treasurer.

The voting on the second baHot for the
various offices was as follo, °:

President—A. Werner, 146; H. Chase,
11; M. Dodd, 10.

Vice-President—M. Willett, 100; D.
Shipley, 40; E. Emerson, 14.

| The retiring President, in her report,
reminded the association of the last ac-
tion taken in regard to the cut rule and
the work that still lies before the under-
| graduates. “The members of next year’s
| Undergraduate Association cannot be too

|/much impressed with the fact that it lies
\largely with them as to whether this

Acting upon a suggestion made by the
Bryn Mawr delegates at the Christian



Association conference in February, the

“Vassar Miscellany” of this week prints
a “Morning Watch” similar to those ugu-
ally printed in these columns. This sug-
geste the great advantage of conferences
and other means of considering the plans
and methods of different colleges. Vassar
was interested in various phases of Bryn
Mawr Christian work and planned to copy
the Sewing Committee in giving out sum-
mer sewing. The Bryn Mawr Association
in its turn hag put into effect some of the
suggestions of the conference. The daily
prayer meetings before the week-end con-
ference were made more like those of

Smith and a board Bible class has been %

started like those in some of the other
colleges. Other ideas may materialize
later and because of the failures of other
colleges, some useless experiments may
be avoided. Certainly all the branches of
college life do not fully avail themselves
of the opportunities to learn from other
colleges. Bryn Mawr can not be per-
fected entirely from within; inspiration
and ideas from without are essential.

Outsiders who see the jam and push
which occurs at the Gymnasium balcony
door the night of a play may easily have
their opinion of the undergraduates de-
cidedly upset. For some time ahead,
people begin to collect outside, all is or-
derly till almost time for the doors to
open. Then begins a herding toward the
doors until there is scarcely breathing
room for the poor unfortunates who are
small and do not tower above the rest.
The doors are opened (and, of course, for
safety they open outwards), the crowd is
pushed back. A wild stampede forward
follows. Bach person thinks only of her-
self, and of the coveted front seats, and
in consequence cares little how she treats
others. Those who have come late and
are on the edges push and elbow their
way in, using sheer brute force to gain a
quick entrance. Perhaps some people
may say this is fun, but to an outsider the
spectacle does not speak well for the
good breeding of the undergraduates.

Although we could not manage to
send an ambulance to the front, we feel
that we are making a real sacrifice in
giving up Miss Davis and Miss Hinckley
for service as nurses in Paris. We are
glad to be immediately connected with
Red Cross work, and we hope soon to be
able to publish letters about their life
in the hospital, Yet glad as we are to

GIFT MADE To. THE FICTION ,
LIBRARY

| The Denbigh Fiction Library has re

ceived a generous response to the appeal
recently made in “The College News.”
Mrs. Bancroft, 98, has presented a dozen
books adding Galsworthy, Maeterlinck and
Bennett to the collection. The readers of
fiction are delighted at the additions and
the librarian and committee are no less
pleased at the interest shown in their
work, It is to be hoped that Mrs. Bai-

{excite emulation in the near future.



GRADUATE CLUB PASSES RESOLU-
TIONS IN REGARD TO MISS
GARRETT’S DEATH

Whereas, In the death of Mary Eliza-
beth Garrett, Bryn Mawr College sustains
the loss of a large-hearted benefactor,
and the Graduate School the loss of a
friend whose thought and aid have done
much for the furtherance of graduate
study among women; and

Whereas, In the death of Mary Eliza-
beth Garrett the advancement of women
has lost one of its most loyal supporters,
be it

Resolved, That we, the members of the
Graduate School of Bryn Mawr College,
express to President Thomas, to the
Board of Directors of Bryn Mawr College
and to the members of Miss Garrett's
family our appreciation for Miss Gar-
rett’s great generosity in behalf of women
and our common sense of loss, and be it

Resolved, That a copy of these resolu-
tions be presented to President Thomas,
the Board of Directors of Bryn Mawr
College, and to the members of Miss Gar-
rett’s family, and be inserted among the
records of the Graduate School.

CORRESPONDENCE COLUMN

The Edilors do not hold themselves responsible
for the opinions expressed in this column.
To the Editor of the College News:

The growing dissatisfaction with the
service at the tea-house which I have
lately notice, has determined me to turn
to--you-for some help in getting to the
root of the trouble. I do not wish
merely to complain of the many objec-:
tionable features of the tea-house, but
to arouse the attention of those who are
interested in it and to have the matter
definitely referred to the responsible
authorities. It is a fact that the tea-
house is the most convenient, in fact
the only convenient and close “eating
house” outside of the hall dining rooms.
We-can go to no othér place in the com-
fort of gym and hockey clothes. There
is no other place in which we may freely
lounge and sing and shout. Is it real-
izing our dependence on it, that the au-
thorities take advantage of us in making
the prices unwarrantedly high and the
service correspondingly bad? For ex-
ample, last night, at 6.30, we arrived at
the Inn; by 6.35 our order for two chicken
sandwiches, two baked beans and two
glasses of grape juice was in. One hour
and twenty-five minutes we waited for our.
order to be filled. When it did come,
we found that we had to content our-
selves with chicken-salad sandwiches and
orangeade, as they were “just out of”
chicken and grape juice. We had to
call for spoons and napkins. The price
of this meal was $.80. Why does such
a orying state of things exist? Charging
the very high prices they do, is there any
excuse for furnishing such inefficient
service? Are the kitchen accommada-
tions too small; is there not sufficient
help? I have often eaten at small res-
tauraiits charging half as much as the
tearhouse, where a substantial and edible
meal is served with decency and speed.
Here all is clatter and confusion. Where
does the trouble lie? I ask not rhet-
orically, but for information. And if it is
beyond your powers of calculation to an-

To the Editor of “The College News”:
Can’t we have some arrangement about
the hymns at vespers so that every one
will know what stanzas are to be sung?
At present we often have some people

the effect is a mumbling. I should think
if the leader would always state what
‘stanzas she desires to have sung, any
such confusion could be avoided and the
singing would be much more enjoyable.

To the Editor of the News:

A poor student who has a history quiz
coming the next week reserves an im-
portant book for the day before the quiz.
She tries to get the book at the time for
which she reserved it, and finds that the
original reserve slip has been lost and
another substituted. Consequently she
fails to finish her reading.
me that the losing of the reserve slip is
a. plece of inexcusable carelessness.
Whether another student in the same
class or the girl who keeps the reserve
desk is responsible, it is an equally se-
rious matter for the student who has
signed on the lost slip.

To the Editor of “The College News”:

People are singularly inconsiderate in
their behavior at College functions.
When a strange, uncontrollable impulse
comes over the happy group outside the
gallery door to push—they push. When
they see someone vainly trying to reach
the doors to open them—they push harder.
When the doors are opened at last, the
mad shove bears along young and old
with an irresistible force. The young
and fragile maidens who would be willing
to wait politely for others to go in are
borne helplessly off their feet, nearly
crushed in by the pressure on all sides,
and finally left breathless and exhausted
to pick out what seats they can. Can we
not cultivate more considerate behavior
at these gatherings atid banish this rude
custom of shoving?

Phiz.



To the Editor of the “College News”:
The writer of the anti-Sunday editorial
in a recent issue of the ‘‘News” seems to
have overlooked several facts which make
her objection particularly inapt. It is
assumed, a priori, that the editorial ex-
presses the opinion of the whole editorial
staff. Such being the case, those editors,
who not long ago expressed approval
and deep admiration of Mr. Sunday’s
work, and delight at the prospect of his
visit to the Bryn Mawr Presbyterian
Chureh, and those, who with perfect
readiness availed themselves of the “re-
served seats” that have been such a
disgrace to the College, stand now in a
most peculiar position. There was no
reason on the one hand for their ex-
pressing an opinion which they have
since shown themselves unwilling to
support, nor on the other hand for their
attending the meeting and occupying
their reserved seats at that “emotional”
revival of which they did not approve.
However, the fact remains that they did
both. In view of that fact there seems
to be no adequate excuse for.the stand
they have taken in the editorial column
of the “News.” gy 2. FT. 6.



To the Editor of “The College News”:

Why do people sit on the outside seat
in Chapel so that all the people coming in
later have to climb over them? It would
seem wiser if the front rows and outside
seats were filled first. Also might it not
be better if those who come to meetings
in the Christian Association Library and



elsewhere did not always sit with backs

singing one stanza and some another and

It seems to.





WHO WAS FRANCOIS VILLON?

It is interesting just now at quiz time to
hear of a test of general information
which was given at Cornell by a member
of the Department of Romance Languages
several months ago. In an examination,
the questions “Who was Francois Vil-
lon?” and “Who was Euripides?” were
asked, although neither of thesd\mnen -had
been discussed in the course. Out of a
class of thirty, only two could identify
either.

Two weeks later the same questions
were asked to see how much intellectual
curiosity would have been shown. Only
three more could answer. The question
which suggests itself is, how would Bryn
Mawr have stood the test?

Here is a Bryn Mawr story that equals
it. A Senior was heard saying to a friend:
“Who was I. Socrates? I didn’t know the
Greeks had Christian names.”

ENGLISH IN OUR AMERICAN
UNIVERSITIES

Harvard has decided that some remedy
must be found for the incorrect English
used by the students in all their courses.
A committee of professors formed to in-
vestigate the subject says that this is the
result of present-day muddled. thinking.
The present plan is to have special
coaching given to each student who is
unable to write clear Hnglish. The
faculty expects this to be the beginning
of similar movements in other American
colleges.

“MEDIATION WITHOUT ARMISTICE”

A pamphlet called “Mediation With-
out Armistice” has been placed in the
New Book Room. The article, which was
sent by an alumna, was written by a
member of the English department of
the University of Wisconsin. Jane Ad-
dams considered the pamphlet such a
success that she requested the writer to
read at The Hague. The alumna has
furnished the following outline of the
Wisconsin Peace Plan:

“This: plan will undoubtedly be one of
the foremost considered at The Hague
conference of women. Its author is a
college woman, a graduate student and
instructor in English at the University
of Wisconsin. This conference of women
is such a remarkable thing in itself and
may be so stupendous in its influence
that none of us dare go about our work
uninformed and unconcerned.

The plan proposes a conference of the
neutral nations to be called at once by
the President. of the United States,
without waiting for armistice,—the con-
ference to be composed of experts who
will draw up proposals as the basis for
peace and submit them simultaneously
to all the warring nations. The under-
standing is that they are to be accepted
simultaneously. Even if they are re-
jected (a thing that we fully expect),
the conference will meanwhile become
known to the people of the belligerent
countries, and its psychological effect
will bring more and more pressure to
bear on the: belligererit governments.
This conference which will sit while the
war continues, will receive any sugges-
tions from the warring nations at any
time and be ready to frame new propos-
als to meet their demands.

_ Such a plan seems perfectly natural
and reasonable. If you wish to be con-
vinced read it in full (it is not long, and.
a valuable addition to English litera-
ture). It gives a wonderfully clear in-
sight into the terribly complex European
situation. You exclaim impatiently
after reading it, “Why didn’t somebody
think of it before?” Well, mediation
without armistice has never been. Men
are accepting the idea readily—but it is



a. woman who conceived it.

CAMPUS NOTES

Dean Reilly was the Bryn Mawr repre-

sentative at the inauguration of the new
President of North Carolina University
on Wednesday, April 21st.

The Rev. Henry Tweedy, who is to
preach here next Sunday, is Professor
of Practical Theology at Yale.

It comes as a great disappointment to
Bryn Mawr that the Rev. Hugh Black,
D.D., has had to break his engagement to
preach here on May 2nd. Dr. Black has
been called to the front, and has already
sailed.

Rabbi Stephen Wise, of the New York
Free Synagogue, has: been asked to
preach instead of Dr. Black. This is
the first time that the Christian Associa-
tion has invited a Jewish Rabbi to con-
duct the Sunday evening service.

The Self-Government elections begin
on April 26th. The President and Vice-
President from the class of 1916, the
Secretary and two members of the Ex-
ecutive Board from the class of 1917,
Treasurer from the class of 1918.

The Bates Camp Committee has raised
$510 of the $600 needed to run the camp
this summer.

Miss Woodberry, who has been tem-
porarily acting as housekeeper of Rocke-
feller Hall, has returned to the Misses
Shipley’s School. Her place has been
taken by Miss Elizabeth Kerr of New
York.

THE NEW BOOK ROOM

Thomas H. Dickinson, of the Univers-
ity of Wisconsin, in his “Chief Con-
temporary Dramatists,” has collected a
series of modern plays by twenty differ-
ent. authors, which “as nearly as pos-
sible represent the abiding achievements
of the present dramatic era.” The vol-
ume contains plays by Wilde, Pinero,
Jones, Galsworthy, Barker, Yeats, Synge,
Lady Gregory, Fitch, Moody, Thomas,
MacKaye, and translations of Haupt-
mann, Sudermann, Brieux, Hervieu, Mae-
terlinck, ‘Bjornson, Strindberg, and
Tchekhov. The editor omits Ibsen,
Shaw, and Barrie from this interesting
list as not included under his definition
of “contemporary.” To the reader de-
siring a further knowledge of these dra-
matists the notes at the end of the book
will be of great assistance.



The student of Elizabethan literature
will doubtless be interested in the pub-
lication of “The Poems of Salusbury and

’ Chester,” by Dr. Carleton Brown, of this

college. As Dr. Brown says, these poems
“have in themselves no importance as
literature, they throw additional light
upon poems by Shakespeare and other
great Blizabethans.”



Those who have read with pleasure in
current magazines the poems of Cale

_~ Young Rice will be glad to know that the

two lately published volumes containing
all his poems and plays have been put
in the New Book Room.



To the literature on the war has been
added the official report made by the
Belgium government to President Wil-
son concerning the violation of Belgium’s
neutrality and the outrages committed
by Germany during the invasion. It is
well known that the President answered
in a tone of friendly but non-committal

sympathy; but as a trustworthy official.

Taylor.

A court may be reserved for one hour.

Two people must sign to reserve a

A court may be held for ten minutes
only.

Student’s may not (1) Use the pro
fessors’ court if professors come to play.
(2) Nor play when men are at work on
the courts; (3) Nor use the class courts
when people come to practise for class
teams.

Each class has one court posted as re-
served for team practice.

ORALS MODIFIED AT HARVARD

The Harvard student council has won
the gratitude of the student body by per-
suading the faculty to change the rules
in regard to the oral examinations in
modern languages.
aminations have been held twice a year,
and failure to pass before the end of
sophomore year has placed the student
on probation and withheld his degree.
Now the student is to be permitted to
take tutorial courses in the subject failed
and to take a written examination in the
course at the end of his sophomore year.
The feeling of the undergraduate body
is best expressed in the “Harvard
Crimson”: “Indeed the orals are no
longer oral. The general feeling among
the undergraduates that these examina-
tions are unfair tests will give way to
the feeling that they are real benefits,
not inquisitions conducted for the amuse-
ment of the modern language depart-
ments.”

WOMAN'S LAW SCHOOL AT RAD-
CLIFFE

Since Harvard still refuses to admit
women to her law courses, Radcliffe
Seniors are urging the establishment at
Radcliffe of a law school for women grad-
uates ofsany college. .-

JACKET” COMES § TO
BRYN MAWR

On Saturday, May ist, at 8

“YELLOW

. m,, the
e “Yellow
Jacket.” The performance will be given
for the benefit of the Belgian Relief

nagium. Reserved seat tickets, one dol-
lar, may be obtained from Dean Maddi-
son, Treasurer of the Play Committee.
The “Yellow Jacket” is one of the most
well known, of recent plays, running in
New York for five months last year with
crowded houses. The play is described
as a Chinese drama, produced in the
Chinese manner. It is the presentation
rather than the story which is unique.
All the details of a Chinese theatre are
faithfully carried out from the imported
costumes, rich with real oriental em-
broidery, to the property man who, in
the performance of his duties becomes
intensely interesting to a western audi-
ence. The mother, in dying, ascends a
ladder to heaven, and by the simple de-
vice of holding a cloth in front of the
victim’s head an objectional character is
easily beheaded right in front of you.
Yet even the amusement and curiosity
aroused by these, to us, odd bits of stage
business, do not take away from the
story itself, which we are told has an
interest all its own.

The Coburn Players have won distinc-
tion as interpreters of classic drama.
During the last ten years they have ap-
peared under the auspices of almost
every educational institution in Amer-
ica. Every detail of their performances
is most carefully worked out, “every
scene is a delight of shade and color, and
every costume true to character and
period.” It is also interesting to note
that the players pride themselves on
their clearness of diction and that the
actors are selected with this in view as
well as for their acting ability.

SEMI-FINAL DEBATE NEXT WEDNES-
DAY



Teams Are Chosen



The end of the debating season is near.
Next Wednesday night the first semi-final
will be held. The resolution is upon a
subject of general interest and one which
has been a general favorite this winter
in intercollegiate debates. In fact, this
evening Syracuse and Cornell will be de-
bating it in Syracuse. It is: “Resolved,
That. the United States shall increase her
armament.” The Senior team is, Hatton,
captain; M. Free, H. Taft, and 1. Foster

(a}ternate); M. Senior captain, EB. Hough-

and later working under Signor Tyrone;
Miss Wesson, French style, learning first
at Bryn Mawr and later being a pupil of
Major Ranlet of Boston.
The matches were good and much en-
joyed by both the competitors and the
audience. The Varsity team, under the
able captainship of Edna Rappallo, was
the best all-round team that the under-
graduates have yet produced.

BRYN MAWR HOLDS FIVE WORLD
RECORDS

Bryn Mawr at present holds the records.
for College women’s track events for the
broad jump, the hop-step-and-jump, hurl
ball and 75-yard dash, with Randolph
Macon second in the first two events, and
Syracuse in the hurl ball, and Lake Erie
in the 75-yard dash. Bryn Mawr and
Lake Erie tie for the record in the 100-
yard dash. Vassar is the first in the bas-
ketball throw and in the baseball throw.
Randolf Macon is first in both broad
jumps and second in the hop-step-and-
jump. Syracuse is the first in the 50-
yard dash and Wells has the best running
high jump.

Randolph Macon has an interesting
system, for they have adopted a rather
low standard in each event, and every
inch or tenth of a second over this stan-
dard is counted one point for each com-
petitor. Each class can enter five for
‘every event. and is handicapped if there
are not five that come up to the standard.
It is thought that this gives more chance
to the average competitor, while it does
not diminish the honor of the individual
star.
