ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ELECTIONS



|
M. Branson New President—Other Offi- |
cers Elected



At the Athletic Association elections |
on Monday night M. Branson was elected
President for the coming year. This elec-|
tion did not come as a surprise, for she |
has ‘been on the board for the past two!
years, and has been one: of 1916's. best |
athletes. T. Howell, 1918, is the new vice-
president and treasurer, and M. Thomp-
son the new secretary. F. Kellogg re-

mains on the board in the new capacity
of indoor manager, while M. Scattergood |
is outdoor manager. The College cheer
leader was elected at the same time, L.
Goodnow now taking the place which has_
been so well filled by I. Smith.

1918 WINS THE TRACK MEET



H. Harris Individual Champion



In the final track meet last Saturday,
1918 kept its lead of the week before,
and won the meet with a total of sixty
points. The Sophomores, with a total
of fifty-two, were the only close rivals,
the Seniors gaining but eighteen points,
and the Juniors ten. H. Harris, 1917, won
the individual championship having thirty
points; S. Smith, 1915, getting second
place, and M. Scattergood, 1917, third.
The record in the hurl-ball was again
broken, M. Scattergood, 1917, throwing
one foot, seven inches farther in the
second meet than did M. Thompson, 1917,
in the fifst one. In every other event
first place remained the same. Second
and third places, however, were often
considerably shifted. In the running high
jump for instance, L. Garfield, 1916, sur-
rendered second place to M. Mackenzie,
1918, and tied for third place with V.
Litchfield, 1917. Nineteen seventeen won
every place in the running broad jump:
E. Heminway, receiving first; N. Mc-
Faden, second, and H. Harris, third.
The last and most exciting event of the
meet was the finish of the class relay,
run between 1917 and 1918, the winners:
‘of the previous heats. This was won by
the Freshmen, and with it the meet.

MAY-DAY HONOURS ANNOUNCED



President Thomas’ Speech



We meet in Chapel to-day to continue |

your celebration of May Day by the an-
nouncement of Faculty May Day honors.
But let us first think for a moment of

the celebration of May Day. As far as
we know it was celebrated in a rather:

modest way in ancient Rome by a pro-
cession on Maye Day to the grotto of the
nymph Egeria.
May Day began with the Northern Teu-
tonic peoples to whom the first of May
symbolized the passing of the cold, in-
tense winter and the coming of the short

and wonderful spring and summer of the

North. The mediwval May Day games
and revels, the worship of the old Teu-
tonic goddess of love, the dragon slain by
the Siegmund Beowulf and other Teu-
tonic heroes of myth and saga all seem
to belong to the coming of summer. In
the revival of the May Day games that

are now taking place everywhere, es-

pecially in the United States, I wish you
to realize that, so far as I know, the
Bryn Mawr students were the first to
celebrate May Day.
May Day revels were the first of the

/'many revivals of this old custom. In- |
‘deed in a sense the tower of Rockefeller

Hall was planned so that the College

| students could follow the custom of Mag-
.dalen College, Oxford, and sing to the)
sun on the first of May.

It is carved on
It is
diapered with Bryn Mawr daisies; the

Bryn Mawr owls of Athene perch over it |

and make it the gate of the Bryn Mawr
goddess of wisdom by which all her
|daughters enter and depart.
you have heard me say that the first ar-

|chitect of the College, Walter Cope, drew |
‘and redrew this tower six times before

he and I were satisfied that it was ex-
actly right. When it was finished the
Seniors of the Class of 1904 sang from

the top of the tower, on the first of May)

\the old Magdalen College chaunt which
has been sung ever since on May Day by

‘each successive Senior Class and never
/more beautifully than by the Class of |
| 1915.
The May-Day honours to be announced |
to-day are the awards of the sixteen resi-|
\dent fellowships of $525 each, the ten)

Mary E. Garrett British, German and
French foreign scholarships of $400 each,
the twenty Mary E. Garrett graduate
scholarships of $200 each, the fifty under-
graduate scholarships and the under-
graduate prizes.

The Helen Schaeffer Huff Memorial

| Resident Research Fellowship of $750 has

not yet been awarded and will be an-
nounced later. The students in physics
have been taught this year by Dr. Janet
Howell, former Helen Schaeffer Huff
Memorial Research Fellow, who has been

_ awarded this year the Sarah Berliner Re-
‘search Prize Fellowship of $1000.

Our
Helen Schaeffer Huff Fellow of this year,
Dr. Vernette Gibbons has just been ap-
pointed Professor of Physics in Mills
College.

Resident Fellowships

Of the sixteen Resident Fellowships
nine have been awarded and seven will
be awarded later when additional infor-
mation has been received. Three of the
nine Fellowships that have been awarded
have been awarded to students now study-
ing in our graduate school, which is a

very nyach smaller number than usual, but

three of our present fellows have re-

THE COLLEGE NEWS



1918 BANQUET



On Friday night, 1918, came together
for their first class banquet. The tables
in Pembroke dining-room were gaily
decorated with miniature May ‘poles and
dark blue ribbons. V. Kneeland, toast-
mistress, put everyone in a good humor
by her easy manner and her well turned
compliments to the class. The upper-
class songs were put to gvod use in
clever parodies. The familiar “Sala-
mander” was turned by the Freshmen
into “Salle A manger,” and the odd classes
were sung out to the tune “Hold the
door” with the words, “There’s the door.”
The most “taking” speeches of the even-
were R. Cheney’s “Divided We Fall,” a
few pertinent remarks on room-mates,
and T. Born’s “Efficiency,” advocating the
use of roller skates in the Library. For
a tragedy there could have been noth-
ing more comic than “Six Nights in the
Pool, or Flan the Perfect Mermaid.” The
fun lasted till one o’clock. The speakers
and actors spared nothing from Chapel
and debating to the Freshman Show, in
their satire.. In the course of the even-
ing many impromptu stunts were “pulled
off” and much latent talent was dis-
covered. E. Downs ended the thoroughly
enjoyable evening by a few serious words
to the class.

EAGLESMERE DELEGATES SPEAK



At vespers, last Sunday evening, Agnes
Grabau and Eleanor Dulles spoke on last
year’s Eaglesmere Conference. Miss
Dulles spoke first on the recreation which

- ¢ rE
THE “YELLOW JACKET” RECEIVED
WITH ENTHUSIASM



Saturday night the Coburn Players
gave the “Yellow Jacket” in the Gymna-
sium for the benefit of the Belgian Relief
Fund. Despite the much-condemned crit-
ical spirit of Bryn Mawr the audience was
an appreciative one. The Gymnasium was
filled early. As the curtain rose the odor
of incense floated through the room, and
the Chinese stage was) shown with the
door of Heaven above and the great prop-
erty chest in front. The Chorus, played
by Mr. Coburn, bade the audience go
back to the land of their youth, where
blocks of wood are as real as royal babies
and piles of tables and chairs as lofty
mountain peaks. Tai Fah Min, prancing
in on his “sublime horse,” was rapturously
applauded. The illusion of the play was
complete. Simple articles supplied by
the nonchalant property man produced
scenes of throne rooms, of graveyards,
of mulberry gardens, and best of all of the
love boat floating down the moonlit river,
among the lotus flowers. Though the
property man was invisible throughout
the play, he. brought many a laugh by
his ingehuity in preparing stage devices
and his bored, indifferent manner. Even
at the end of the play, when he became
visible, he was still as bored as ever and
refused to bow graciously as his brothers
of the Pear Tree Garden had done. How-
ever, his offence could not mar the enjoy-
ment, and the play being over, the
audience went away condescending to
“honourably smile.”



GRADUATES ENTERTAIN SENIORS



is so important in making the week at

Eaglesmere perfectly healthy and happy. |
Everyone enters eagerly into the ath-|

letic contests in tennis, basket-ball, base-

ball and swimming for the sport and for |

a chance to get better acquainted with
others. Walks, picnics, songs and stunts
enliven the recreation time and are im-
portant not only for their own sakes but
because all the fun strengthens the
friendships made at Eaglesmere. Agnes
Grabau spoke of the classes which give
such unusual opportunities to talk with
men of great experience and inspiring
ideals and to discuss with them one’s
problems. This ten days on the mountain
top is a time when we learn new. thoughts
to enrich our religious life and catch

something of the spirit of men and women |

of deep Christian life who have accom-
plished great things in the world of
thought and service.
which thakes us think more clearly and
‘live more unselfishly. -

TENNIS FINALS TO BE BETWEEN
1917 AND 1918



The preliminaries in the doubles tennis
tournament were uninteresting, as the
matches were almost all too one-sided. |
Those between the Seniors and Sopho-|
mores were rather better than those be-
tween the Juniors and Freshmen. This
one-sidedness is partly due to the fact
that the upper classes have lost some of
their best players. The scores of the
matches were as follows:

1915 vs. 1917

E. Rapallo-G. Emery vs. M. Thompson-
M. Willett; 3-6, 5-7.

I. Smith-E. Pugh vs.
vaine; 4-6, 5-7. :

R. Tinker-K. McCollin vs. J. Pauling
M. Willard; 2-6, 3-6.

1916 vs. 1918

B. Kirk-M. Branson vs. H. Alexander-M.
Stair; 3-6, 0-6.

M. Russell-F. Hitchcock vs. M. Winsor-
E. Atherton; 1-6, 0-6.

M. Dodd-R. Fordyce vs. L. Richardson-
D. Kuhn; 1-6, 4-6.

Dr. Chartes Upson Clark, Professor of
Latin at Yale University, will lecture in
Taylor on Spanish Art. His tecture will
be illustrated with, many lantern slides
and will include such famous painters 4s
Velasquez and Murillo

“Every Grad,” a mo
rality play, outlined the history of every
grad who at the.instigation of book learn-
ing pursues the Ph.D. until forced to leave
\behind Sleep, Exercise, Health and Good
