Saturday’s track meet, on the whole, |

did not come up to the standard of last

year equalled third place of last year.
No individual stood out especially, with
the possible exception of H. Harris, 1917,
who showed up well in the dashes and
jumping, though not up to the time
or distance she made last spring. Two

records were broken, M. Thompson, 1917,/ bench (pantalettes!) to provoke a laugh. |

| “Innovation” is the word this year, so
|the play with which 1916 entertained the
| College last Saturday was quite different
| from the usual run of college plays. We
‘have had the sentimental, the melodra-
matic, the romantic and the classical—
the humorous with “intent but to amuse,”
'in the form of Gilbert’s “Engaged” struck
'a new note. Innovations seemed to have
‘thrived well in the Bryn Mawr atmos-
| phere this year (the cut rule and quizzes
|in the library excepted) and “Engaged”
|}shares the honors with its predecessors.
| A very amused audience may certainly be
| regarded as a good criterion of success.

| Yet the chief criticism one may make of
| the performance is due for the most part
to the choice of play. The acting was
on the whole a little disappointing. This
was because the play called only for a
sort of burlesque treatment and did not
|lead to much attempt at characterization.
| There was no doubt, however, but that the
actors caught the “swing” remarkably

what they were doing that their enthusi-
asm was irresistible. They were funny,
every one of them, just as funny as they
could be. One may say of Larie Klein,
'as it has been said of a famous comedian,
that she had but to walk across the stage
| (with a rosé in her hand) or sit on a

| Anaee McAliister’s (Margaret Dodd)
| knees were almost too much for the audi-
|ence and his brogue was perfect.
|(Edith Wilson) was a “bonnie Scotch

Maggie :

blustering Major McGillicuddy (Lois
Goodnow) made most effective use of his
dreadful pistols and Helen Tyson, as the
“poor auld lady,” was very realistic. Nor
must we overlook, as the program did, the
very handsome retainers (Mary G. Bran-
son and Margaret Chase) who so nobly
supported the wedding cake in the first
act.

and the costumes were a delight to be-
hold; 1916 spares no pains or effort to do
very thoroughly whatever it undertakes.
There is no doubt that much of the suc-
cess of the play was due to Miss Nearing’s
splendid coaching.

NEW CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
BOARD CHOSEN



The Christian Association Board for
next year was announced soon after the
meeting of the officers of the old board.
Agnes Smith, as president of the associa-
tion is also president of the board. The
vice-president (A. Grabau) is.the head of
Membership Committee, the treasurer (K.
Blodgett) of Finance, and the secretary
(L. Smith), of Sewing and Junk Commit-
tee. The rest of the board is as follows:
M- Dodd, '16, chairman of Bates’ Camp;
L. Garfield, "16, Federation; H. Riegel,

$5000 FOR NEW ATHLETIC FIELD



To Be Raised by June ist

Ever since 1910 there have been plans
for building a third athletic field at some
time. This year, when it seemed that it
would be necessary to spend $1200 to
drain the lower field, the Athletic Board
felt that such an expenditure would not
be justified by the advantages which
would be derived from it. They therefore
suggested that a third field be built at the
same time, in order to decrease the ex-
pense of the whole operation. When they
laid the matter before the association it
was unanimously voted to raise $5000 by
June Ist in order that the work might be
completed by the opening of College in
the fall.

The Athletic Board immediately con-
sulted President Thomas and the repre-
sentative of Olmstead Brothers, the Col-
lege architects, as to the feasibility of
carrying out this plan. The plans made
in 1910 for a third field will be adopted
and a blueprint of them has been posted
on the bulletin board in Taylor. An esti-
mate of the expense is being prepared. 2

The plan includes three new tennis
courts to be cut out of the hill on which
the professors’ houses stand. The three
lower courts will be moved toward Rocke-
feller and the new system of drainage
will make them as good as those above
Low Buildings. There is also a possi-
bility of making two more courts on the
new field in the spring, when it is not be-
ing used for hockey.

The new field, which will be put be-
tween the lower field and the power
house, will be 300: feet long by 150 feet
wide. This will be two or three feet be-
low the level of the other field, and will
be of the new “playground surfacing,” a
mixture of clay and cement. Because of
the non-porous qualities of this surfacing,
smooth ice may be obtained by flooding
with only a few inches of water. Skating
will no longer be prevented by hot-water
pipes or springs beneath the surface of
the pond. A hockey field, on which the
third and fourth teams will be able to
practise at convenient hours, will also be
provided by this arrangement.

The hearty support of the entire under-
graduate body and of the alamnz@ is abso-
lutely necessary in order that the field
may be ready in the fall. For this reason

The “News” will be glad to print free
of charge advertisements for students
who offer to do work for the fund for the
new Athletic Field. Odd jobs, such as
making sandwiches, shopping, taking
pictures, darning stockings, and so forth,
were done for thd sake of the Endowment
Fund and there is every reason to hope
that people will offer to do them for the
Athletic Field.

Another surprise for the undergradu-
ates is the startling course schedule for
next year—a surprise, too, it would seem,
of not the pleasantest kind. The changes
in the courses have evidently caused a
number of students, especially in the
Sophomore and Junior classes, consider-
able annoyance. “I must replan my whole
course,” “I cannot take the elective I
want,” and even, “I'll have to change my
major,” are some of the remarks of the
justly complaining undergraduates... For
the seemingly random shifting of courses
is a serious matter to those who have
used care and thought in the selection of
their studies. It is not a mere matter of
a pen scratch for some people to change
from one major to another; the change
often involves serious consequences.
Some students have elected to major in
French and History not from mere conve-
nience, but feeling themselves best fitted
to pursue these subjects. To find at the
beginning of the Senior year that those
two subjects conflict is a most adequate
cause for complaint.

And we still maintain—whatever the

arguments and reasons for the new Sched-
ule may be—and while it may be good in

itself, the proposed changes require a
warning of at least one year.

There are some verses in the book of
Dulci Fistula, printed in 1910, which are
very apt at the present time:

All tight closed eyes are not a sign
Of cloistered contemplation;

All mouths stretched wide do not suggest
Enraptured exclamation.

Not every gaze that strays afar
Is lost in realms of thought;
You'll find that nine times out of ten
The clock is what is sought.

Indeed, many a gaze strays clockward
nowadays. It often amounts to rudeness
to the speaker. when those in the middle
of the room turh squarely around in their
seats and stare at the clock. Tt is cer-



| obtain such a comparatively small sum is

| hawt Ht, bat AE Gear bof
done surreptitiously, would not waiting in|

stolid ignorance be better than such open
impatience?



We have become convinced that it is

impossible to raise money for any im-

‘provements here at Bryn Mawr. We
scrape together a bare quarter of what we
need for a students’ building and then lie
back exhausted, making only the feeblest
and most sporadic attempts to get more.
In the same spirit we regard the hopes of
the Athletic Board to raise the five thou-
sand dollars necessary for a new hockey-
field as the most distant of air-castles.
That it should be branded as “impossible”
and “foolish” for Bryn Mawr to hope to

ridiculous. Wellesley has raised two mil-
lion dollars in less than a year; Vassar
has started hopefully and vigorously to
collect an endowment of a million. All
that we need is enthusiasm and faith in
our ability. We can raise the money and
we will.

CORRESPONDENCE COLUMN

The Editors do not hold themselves responsible

for the opinions expressed in this column.
To the Editor of the College News.

Senior singing on the steps is one of
the most beautiful of our College tradi-
tions. Why cannot we, of the present
generation at Bryn Mawr, hand it down as
such to future classes? As it is now, it
bids fair to degenerate into a nightly
mass-meeting, an outlet for our enthusi-
asms. Our sole ambition seems to be to
“out-shout” the class singing before us,
and while enthusiasm is undoubtedly a
splendid thing to have, yet on this occa-
sion it seems a trifle misdirected. We
make the silence and beauty of the spring
night hideous with our class spirit;
whereas it should be a time to prove our
College spirit, by putting aside the rivalry
of the athletic field and uniting in an ef-
fort to make Senior singing one of our

most cherished institutions.

To the Editors of “The College News”:

It is with the greatest pleasure that I
have read Miss Arny’s energetic letter in
a recent issue of your paper.

Ever since my Freshman year I have
been in close touch with settlements—
part of the time as a resident settlement
worker—for five years as treasurer of the
College Settlements Association, and, al-
ways, when called upon to state the part
taken by my beloved Alma Mater in this
great uplift movement, I have been forced
to-hang my diminished head in shame.

Individual Bryn Mawr graduates have Yet

done noble. work in and for settlements.
Helena Dudley (Class of '89, hats off!)
stands for nineteen years of steady, suc-
cessful effort that have made the Boston
College Settlement a tremendous power
for good. The New York College Settle-
ment has no friend more staunch than
Pauline Goldmark, '96. Alice Gannett’s,
"98, is a name to conjure with on the
East Side. Carola Woerishoffer’s chief
life interest was in a New York settle
ment, and the plans, made in memory of
her, for social education, are a hopeful
sign of the stirring of the right spirit.



We have plenty of brains and oii
of money in our undergraduate body and
in our alumne association to compare fa-
vorably with any college in these United
States, Let us apply both, generously and
vigorously, to this well-founded, thor-
oughly proved, deep-needed work.

Mary Peckham Tubby, ’97.



To the Editor of “The College News”:
Why have we quiet hours in the corri-
dor outside our doors when there are none
on the seat outside the window? If it is
disturbing to have talking, laughing and
singing outside a closed door, it is even
more so to have it directly outside an
open window. With the advent of warm
weather the memorial seat threatens to
become a serious nuisance, for girls feel
free there to talk and laugh as loudly as
they please and to practise singing at all
hours. We plead for “quiet hours on the
seat,”
The Abutting Corridor.



HO! GOOD SKATING!

To the Editors of “The College News”:
The impossible becomes possible. With
the Athletic Association’s determination
to raise at once $5,000 to repair the old
hockey ‘field and build a new one, the
undreamed-of becomes practical. Bryn
Mawr. College may skate from June to
June. Up to this time, Bryn Mawr stu-
dents have looked upon a good skating
day as an annual College event—some-
what like the Junior-Senior supper play—
long anticipated, ecstatically enjoyed and
quickly over. Skating at Bryn Mawr has
seldom occurred oftener than once a year.
This fact is chiefly due to the peculiar
arrangement of our skating pond, alias
“hockey field.” Our skating pond, like
no other pond in the country, that one
knows of, is heated by a “hot water”
system—the hot water pipes of the halls
of residence pass directly underneath it.
To be sure, one need never complain of
the. cold while skating on-such—a- pond,
for one could easily crack a bit of ice,
plunge one’s hands in and warm them at
the pipes below. But such a habit was
apt to spoil the skating and shorten one’s
day. Now the old pond becomes a thing
of the past; $5,000 will be raised by June
1st, and the new hockey field will greet
us in the fall. It may be flooded as soon
as we like, and Bryn Mawr may, if it
chooses, skate every day in the year. Of
course, we may miss the old heating ap-
paratus, but the little house to be built
beside the field will soon fill all needs.
Skaters may rest before its fire, enjoy
hot tea in June and iced tea in January,
warm their fingers over the logs, and re-
turn to the pond—to skate to their heart’s
content. Skating will become in fact, as
well as in name, a Bryn Mawr sport.

iS BRYN MAWR SNOBBISH?

Readers of Mr. Edwards’ “Comrade
” have probably been interested in
the criticism of Bryn Mawr which appears
in the novel, “There isn’t any woman’s
college in the country,” the hero remarks,
“which has a higher standard of scholar-
ship. It is one of the best there is in that
way. If you want to be a ‘scholar,’ if
you want to go in for Greek and mathe-
matics or one of the sciences, a degree
from Bryn Mawr is something to be
proud of. But most of the girls are rich.
I don’t mean that they would be unkind to
you. With Mrs. Van Cleave to back you,
they’d probably go to the other extreme.
But I don’t believe you'd find many of

ested in the problems of the working pec-





the girls—or many of the faculty—inter- | t!

taken exception to the accusation of snob-
bery that is made against Bryn Mawr, de-
cided that it was time to demand an ex-
planation. Consequently she wrote om
following letter:

“My Dear Mr. Edwards:

“Your book, ‘Comrade Yetta,’ has lately
been bought for the fiction library at Bryn
Mawr College. -Coming across a passage
referring to Bryn Mawr, I was pleased at
your praise of its scholarship, but sur-
prised at your sweeping condemnation of
its snobbery. I wondered whether you
really believe that ‘if you want to fight for
freedom Bryn Mawr would not help you
much,’ or if you felt. that this passage
helped to complete your characterization.
It seems hardly possible that you should
be convinced that we lack all social sense
in the light of Bryn Mawr’s attitude to-
ward the work of Carola Woerishoffer,
who graduated from here.”

To this letter the following answer has
been received:
“My Dear Miss

“Your letter of the 21st of March has
been forwarded to me.

“A great many students and alumnew
of Bryn Mawr have written to me protest-
ing agaigst. the unfortunate passage in
‘Comrade Yetta,’ to which you refer.

“It was unfortunate that I did not make
my meaning quite clear. I had no inten-
tion of singling out Bryn Mawr for special
criticism. I should have said, ‘If you want
to fight for freedom going to college won’t
help you much.’ And perhaps to be quite
clear I should have added some phrase
which included men’s colleges as well as
those for women.

“Like almost every person I know in
America who is interested in the fight for
freedom, I have very small respect for



‘our institutions for ‘higher’ education. A

person who knows exactly what they want
to do with life—build bridges, scientific
research, law,. medicine—finds our col-
leges admirably equipped to teach how to
do it. But far and away the most impor-
tant question for a young man or woman
is—what shall I do with my life?
“And to this question our college facul-
ties have no clear answer.
“To use a phrase from Ernest Poole’s
novel, ‘The Harbor,’ which by the way is
the best piece of American fiction I have
seen in many a day—they give us ‘news
from the graveyards.’
“I know nothing about Bryn Mawr per-
sonally. I have no way of knowing
whether it is more snobbish, more remote
from the realities of life than the college
I attended. But if it, with all the rest,
does not deserve the criticism I gave it,
it is absolutely unique in America. At
least as far as I have been able to see,
our American colleges—for both sexes—
are ridiculously snobbish and remote.
“I am sorry to have given any offense
to Bryn Mawr—as distinct from any of
the other colleges I might just as well
have put in the mouths of my characters.
“Thanking you for your interest in my
work, I am
“Very truly yours,
“A. Bullard.
“(Albert Edwards).”

ducing the other speakers, I. Haupt, M.
Scattergood, C. Hall, L. Chase, E. Russell,
EB. Dulles, and C. Stevens. E. Russell,
at the head of the stunt committee, had
arranged several clever stunts. The first
of these was “Humans and Rodents,” in
which a parody of the orphan scene from
“Mice and Men” was given.

In one of the four representations of
College years, 17 was seen as a fluffy,
gray hen, leading along 1919, two real
and very lively chickens. A fight between
Willard and Johnson and other stunts
brought thundering applause. Ryu Sato
played on a Japanese harp and then did
some court dancing. Caroline Stevens
gave the class the greatest pleasure in her
speech, which though no less witty than
the others did give ideas that made the
class song have new meaning, when the

glorious banquet was over.

PSYCHOLOGY AND THE CAMERA



Experiments at Harvard show that the
men work better in athletics before a
moving picture camera, It brings new
enthusiasm into track or team sports,
and when it is taken away the “pep” falls
off. Because of this, cameras—or dummy
cameras—clicked away during many im-
portant practices; the crew never pulls
so good a) stroke as when their pictures
were being taken. Do those who take part
inathletic events here appreciate the
psychological effect of the many cam-
eras?

MR. TAFT SPEAKS AT HAMPTON

April 23d was the 47th anniversary of
the Hampton Institute for the Negroes
and Indians of the United States. Hun-
dreds of people from different parts of the
country attended the celebration. Among
the well-known speakers were Dr. Coffin
and Dr. Merrill, of New York, and ex-
President Taft.

“When you come to Hampton,” said Mr.
Taft, “you come to the center of national
movement, development and progress. It
is that which makes Hampton conspicu-
ous to-day among the most important in-
stitutions of learning in this country.

MARGARET RUSSELL PRESIDENT OF
SELF-GOVERNMENT



Margaret Russell, having a majority of

_all votes cast on the second nominating

ballot, was elected President of Self-Gov-
ernment, Monday noon. Miss Russell has
served on the Executive Board for a year
and is also President of the class of 1916.
The other elections are: Vice-Presi-
dent, T. C. Dowd; First Junior Member
of the Executive Board, C. Hall. The
Second Junior member, the Secretary and
Treasurer, are to be elected this week.

(Continued from Page 1)

a committee, with a member of the Ath-
letic Board as chairman, has been ap-
pointed from each class; the fifth mem-
ber of the board will head a committee for
collecting money from the alumnae. If
each class can raise $1000 from friends
or by personal efforts, it is to be hoped
that the alumnz who are interested in
athletics will complete the fund.

The class committees are as follows:

1915—1. Zeckwer, E. Dessau, C. Taber,
O. Erbsloh.

1916—F. Kellogg, L. Goodnow, C. Kel-
len, F. Hitchcok.

1917—M. Scattergood, M. Thompson, V.
Litehfield, N. McFaden. |

1918—F. Kellogg, temporary chairman ;
E. Houghton, L. Richardson, M. Bacon.

"CAMPUS NOTES.

Infirmary.

- The Rev. Stuart Roussel, of + anes, will
preach &t the services of the Bryn Mawr
Presbyterian Church next Suhday. His
subject in the morning will be “The Pres-
ent War and Its Significance to the Hu-

guenot Church.”

A-debate between m 1916 and 1917 will be
held on Friday. The question is: “Re-
solved, That the United States was justi-
fied in the treaty of 1912, permitting the
United States’ coastwise vessels to pass
through the Panama Canal, free of tolls.”
F. Kellogg, G. Moses and H. Riegel will
speak for the affirmative; D. Shipley, V.
Litchfield and M. Willett for the nega-
tive.

Those who have read Mary Antin’s

‘book, “The Promised Land,” will be glad

of the opportunity to hear her speak in
Witherspoon Hall on May 10th.

Dr. Rand, who was so badly burned at
the time of the fire in the old Infirmary,
has returned to College and taken up
her work again as Associate in Psychol-
ogy.

Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, who will preach
in Chapel next Sunday, is delivering a
series of addresses at the Free Syna-
gogue in New York City on Sunday morn-
ings on “The Life and Teaching of Jesus,
the Jew.”

Miss Eleanor F, Rambo, ’08, is the first
woman to receive the Research Fellow-
ship given by the American School of Ar-
cheology at Athens. She won this in a
competition open both to men and women.
On account of the war there is some
doubt whether she will be able to use it
immediately.

The performance of “Pinafore” was so
much appreciated by people from the
surrounding towns that the cast has re-
ceived the compliment of a request to re-
peat the opera at Narberth for the cause
of woman’s suffrage.

STARTLING CHANGES IN THE NEW
SCHEDULE



A schedule of courses for next year has
been posted, differing vitally from. the
schedule for this year. The most impor-
tant change which appears is the return
to the old system of courses running in
five-hour blocks. Minor and Major, His-
tory, Minor and Major Economics and
Politics, and General Philosophy and Psy-
chology have undergone this change.
Furthermore the hours of several classes
have been shifted. Minor Economics will
be held at 11 instead of 9, Major Mathe-
matics at 12 instead of 11, and Minor and
Major Physics have been interchanged.

NOTICE

A new person is needed to address about
250 folders every week for the mailed sub-
scriptions of the “College News.” There
will be a salary for this position. Apply
in office hours or to the Business Mana-
gers. before Saturday.

NOTICE

The Editor has received several letters
this week without signature. We wish to
repeat that we can not publish letters un-
less they bear the signature of the writer.

BRYN MAWR STUDENTS GIVE S&T-
TLEMENT AN OUTING



Last Saturday seven Bryn Mawr stu-
dents took forty-two little girls from the
“Lighthouse” to the country. The young-
stera had the time of their lives, picking
violets and cherry blossoms and paddling
around in the stream. Some of them had
neyer been to the country before and
not understand how trees could be
so big and grass so green. One little tot
dug up several violet plants to take
to cheer her half-blind mother. Next Sat-
urday the committee will take a party of
children from the College Settlement.

1915’s FAREWELL SONG



(Tune: “Marianina’)
Senior days are flying fast away,
Days of mirth and song, of work and
play,
But in after years they’ll all seem gay;
And remembrance e’er. will bring
Days whose gladness long will ring—
Days of new returning spring,
Days with you of 1916—
Through our College memories echoing.

May your Senior days be full and fair,

May your hearts rebound from every care,

And when in our place you're —
here,

May you gladly sing as we

Of a Senior class to be;

May you in their future see

That the years revolving surely,

Bring Bryn Mawr as ever brightening
days.

Every class must say at last farewell,

Each of us would ever longer dwell:

All that every class is wont to tell

To the Junior class below,

We would tell you e’er wé go,

We would ne’er have parted s0;

But in you, oh 1916,

May Bryn Mawr see ever brightening
days!



1916's FAREWELL SONG



(Tune: Caprice Viennois.)
Out of the heart of the springtime be-
tween
Notes of the birds that sing,
There comes a call to you, 1915,
Out of the heart of the spring.
Where shall we see you and when shall
" me meet?
Sadly we sing now who stay,
Counting the gifts of the a less
sweet
Since it takes you away.

Mr, M. P. Price, in his “Diplomatic His-
tory of the War,” has collected “such dip-
lomatic and political facts about the

to light. “For,” as be says, “the time will
come when the record of historical facts
which ied all Burope to this fate will have
to be examined and the blame appor-
tioned.” The book includes government
publications, parliamentary speeches,
treaties, manifestos, and press corre-
spondence of all the participating nations,
with slight comments by the author on
these complete records.
Five interesting new books have been
published in the small and convenient
People’s Edition. “Treitschke,” by M. A.
Muggs, treats of the life of the German
historian and his in ice in bringing the
present conflict, t his advocacy of
war and his hatred of England. A. D.
Innes, in the “Hohenzollerns,” gives an
account of the history and present posi-
m of the ruling house of Germany.
um,” by Frank Maclean, and “Ger-
ny,” by W. T. Waugh, are both treat-
ments of the economic and political condi-
tions of the two countries as they were
before the war. “The British Army of
To-day,” by A. H. Atterbridge, is a com-
plete account of the modern British army.
In his four interesting volumes of “A
History of Travel in America,” Seymour
Dunbar has not only showed the develop-
ment of travel, but narrated as he says,
“the human experience and changing s0-
cial conditions that accompanied this eco-
nomic conquest of the continent, in order
to suggest the anplication of certain prin-
ciples to our present and future affairs.”
The progress in means of travel from the
earliest days of white men in this country
until the twentieth century is told with
many anecdotes in pleasing, colloquial
style and illustrated by charming, old-
fashioned drawings.



CHINESE PLAY AT COLUMBIA



Last week a Chinese play was given
by the Chinese students at Columbia.
The music and elaborate costumes made
the production very effective. The plot
was an interesting one—the intrigues of
a wicked servant successfully overcome
by the young hero. It was given for the
benefit of the boy scouts of China. Un-
like most of the “Chinese” plays it was
presented as well as written by Chinese.
