MEMORIAL SERVICES



At a service held in Taylor Hall on
Wednesday, May 5th, the directors, fac-
ulty, alumne, and students of Bryn Mawr
College united to honor the memory of
Mary Elizabeth Garrett, born in Balti-
more, March 5, 1854; died at the Deanery,
Bryn Mawr College, April 3, 1915; mem-
ber of the Board of Directors of Bryn
Mawr College sincé its foundation, 1906;
in grateful appreciation of her lifelong in-
terest in the education of women and of
her invaluable and generous gifts to Bryn
Mawr College.

Dean Reilly was the first speaker. She
said in part:

“We, the directors, faculty, alumne
and students of Bryn Mawr College, the
friends of Miss Garrett and the friends of
the College, gathered here to-day, unite
to honour her memory. Her life we can-
not honour. She herself made it complete

by her integrity and strength of purpose.
We can only make ourselves strong in the
memory of one who gave with never-
ending generosity of her means and of
her personal thought and strength to the
peculiar work which we seek here to ac-
complish and to the larger interests of

| women throughout the world which mean

so much to humanity. Those who will
speak to us to-day have known and
worked with Miss Garrett and can speak
| to us directly of her and in her memory
|}and in her honour.”

Mrs. Anna Rhoads Ladd, who spoke for
the Alumne, told of Miss Garrett’s joy in
|giving and of her beautiful manner of
| Siving “as though she herself had no part
|in the gift.” Prof. Charlotte Angas Scott
| spoke next, voicing the Faculty’s appre-
| ciation of Miss Garrett’s ‘broad and genu-
ine devotion to far more than woman’s
education, namely, to woman’s advance-
ment and therefore to the advancement
|of humanity.” Helen Taft, 1915, in speak-
ing for the undergraduates, described
Miss Garrettt as the personal friend of
the students, coming to their meetings
} and silently enjoying their pleasure in the
May Day revels. Dr. Schenk then spoke
of the tremendous advantage which the
scholars had gained who, because of Miss
Garrett’s generosity, had been able to
study abroad.

Prof. Donnelly gave her tribute to Miss
Garrett from the point of view of a per-
sonal friend and said: “During all the time
she lived here amongst us, to our happi-
ness, her standards in work were felt, I
feel, throughout the College—her thor-
oughness and punctiliousness, her splen-
did industry and courage in the face of
difficulties, her very high sense of duty
and responsibility and, I should like to
add, her beautiful courtesy. So it is for
us, Callege women and _ professional
womén that we be, to learn from Miss
Garrett, who was neither a college nor a
professional woman, something beyond

GREAT HISTORIAN TO LECTURE

Mr. George Macauley Trevelyan to Speak
on Servia and Eastern Europe



Mr. George Maculey Trevelyan, who is

to lecture in Taylor Hall on Friday even- |

ing, is one of the greatest biographers,
historians, and writers of the present day.
His careful study of the lives and policies
of English statesmen of the past hundred
years has given him a remarkable knowl-
edge of the Eastern question, in which
England has been so much involved.
lecture, “Servia and Eastern Europe,”
will undoubtedly make clearer many of
the complicated problems connected with
the present war, and with the recent his-
tory of Europe in general.

A shelf in the New Book Room has
been set aside for the works of Mr.
George M. Trevelyan, the historian and
biographer. It contains, “Garibaldi’s
Defense of Rome,” “Garibaldi and the
Thousand,” “Garibaldi and the Making of
Italy,” “England in the Age of Wycliffe,”
“The Life of John Bright,” “English
Songs of Italian Freedom,” “The Poetry
and Philosophy of George Meredith,” and
“Clio a Muse and other Essays.” This
last, the most recent work of Mr. Trev-
elyan, consists of some eight essays,
“literary and pedestrian,” in his most de-
lightful manner on various subjects,
History, Walking, Meredith, and others,
almost all entertaining reading.

SENIORS GIVE “THE DARK LADY OF
THE SONNETS” AND “THE CRITIC”



The Seniors showed unusual talent and
versatility in producing in one. evening
two plays of such entirely different tem-
per as the “Dark Lady of the Sonnets”
and “The Critic.” Though the actors did
not seem to interpret quite justly the
comic spirit of the former, it neverthe-
less formed an excellent prelude to “The
Critic,” To play the part of Shakespeare
is no easy task, but Mildred Jacobs ac-
complished it with her usual finish, and
|was particularly good in her scene with
the sturdy Beefeater, Isabel Foster. Es-
| ther Pugh was regally beautiful as Queen
Elizabeth, and no one wondered that her
‘voice delighted the ear of a poet. Emily
Van Horn, as the dark lady, made us wish
that her part had been longer.

It was no long step from White Hall to
Drury Lane Theatre, whither the critics:
in Sheridan’s play led us, to watch Puff’s
tragedy, “The Spanish Armada.” Mr.
Dangle, Ann Hardon, seemed more car-
ried away by the charms of Tilberina
[than by the tragedy itself, but was re-
strained by Adrienne Kenyon, who took
|the part of Sneer with great dignity. Puff
| held everyone’s attention by his zest-and
| his natural manner. Indeed, a great part
of the pleasure of the evening was due to
|Sara Smith’s admirable acting in this
| part. Then there was Tilberina, played
iby Helen Taft, who “stark mad in white
; satin,” roused mirth and applause from
‘all. The hand maiden, effectively acted
by Margaret Bradway, completed the pic-
|ture. The audience was well able to feel

The sinking of the steamship Lusitania,
with its terrible loss of life, is a disaster
of such world importance that we cannot
let it pass unmentioned. That Mrs. Og-
den Hammond (Mary Rector Stevens,
ex-’08) is one of the missing, brings the
calamity home to us with even greater
force. In comparison with this event the
affairs of this week at College slip far
into the background, and even the usually
self-sufficient attitude of College has been
changed to a realization of something be-
yond itself.

For many weeks the few who go to
Sunday evening Chapel have been puz-
zled by the bad attendance. One rather
ingenious suggestion as to the cause of
this is that Chapel begins so late that it
breaks into an evening’s work. Those
who go directly to their rooms from sup-
per are often unwilling, after three quar-
ters of an hour, to interrupt their work to
attend Chapel. A recently proposed rem-
edy is to hold the services at 7.30. Chapel
would then probably end at 8.30, and the
evening would still be a long one. The
objection has been raised that this
change would mean the abolition of hymn
singing—a custom which to many seems
valuable and pleasant. _Whether the ad-
vantage of a fuller’ Chapel would out-
weigh this disadvantage could only be
proved by trying the new scheme for a
few weeks.

SMITH INVESTIGATING EXPENSES



A thousand of the students at Smith
agreed to keep personal accounts for a
year. Despite the time taken from spring
pleasures and the real difficulty to those
not mathematically inclined, they are
keeping itemized records of all expenses.
Books, distinguished by numbers, were
distributed and are handed back to the
office by the house presidents. Before
classes in the morning, between courses
at meals, in all their odd minutes the
students are busy over their account
books. That the difficulties are many the
following poem written in one of the
English courses shows: :
“Now ink is incidental (how that column

grew and grew),

And for my shoe shine items I think

that laundry’ll do;
But I am fairly puzzled, would the Dean
think/I was rude

If I asked her about tooth paste—is it

“Health” or “Extra Food”?



EXPENSES AT YALE

The Yale Seniors this year have spent
an average of $1100, according to the sta-
tistics in the “Yale News.” This is the
same as the amount spent during the
Junior year and a hundred dollars more
than the average expenses of Freshman
and Sophomore years. ‘During the
Junior year one man spent $4500, the
largest amount spent by any one in the
Class of 1915; and the smallest amount,
$200, was also spent that year.

To the Hditor of “The College News”:

I enclose a little song, which I think
may be of interest-to your readers. It ex-
presses the sentiments of those people
who, like myself, have played basket-ball
all the spring and are now deprived of
this privilege by the commencement of
match games. The cause of their deplor-
able plight is that they are “subs” on

THE INTERCOLLEGIATE BUREAU OF
OCCUPATIONS OF NEW YORK



To the Hditor of the ‘‘College News”:

The Intercollegiate Bureau of Occupa-
tions, at 130 East Twenty-Second Street,
New York, will have completed four
years of office experience in September,
1915. During that time the New York
alumnee associations of Barnard, Bryn
Mawr, Cornell, Mt. Holyoke, Radcliffe,
Smith, Vassar, Wellesley and Wells have
contributed largely to its support. For
the first year, 1911-1912, the associations
united in contributing a total amount of
about $4500 and for each succeeding year
the total subscription has averaged about
$3000. Many of the associations have al-
ready voted to contribute to the Bureau
for the year 1915-1916 the same amount
that they gave for 1914-15.

Benefits, bazaars, appropriations from
the association treasury and appeals to
individual members are among the meth-
ods employed by the different associations
for raising the money required. Begin-
ning with May, 1916, a new plan of or-
ganization is to go into effect, and the
directors of several associations are send-
ing to their members the foregoing ap-
peal, with a view to enlisting their in-
terest in the new plan and in the re-
sults already accomplished by the Bureau.

It was voted at a recent meeting of
the Board of Directors of the Bureau that.

ship to the present co-operating organiza-
tions, it is proposed to ask them each to
contribute an annual fee of $25, which
will entitle the association to one repre-
sentative on the Board of Directors. As
this annual fee is small, it may be taken
from the association treasury without
making an appeal for individual contribu-
tions. Individual contributions, in the

then be paid directly into the treasury
of the Bureau.

At least 2000 members are needed, in-
cluding not only the graduates of those
colleges whose co-operation made the
Bureau possible, but all who are in-
terested in its larger aims and broader
activities.

The fact should be made clear that
the Bureau registers, not only college
women, but four groups of workers who
are seeking employment in occupations
other than teaching:

(1) Holders of degrees from accredited
colleges.

(2) Women trained professionally or
technically, whether or not they may be
college graduates.

(3) Women with valuable experience
regardless of their training. _

(4) Candidates for positions in social
work, both men and women, who meet
certain requirements as to experience and
training.

Evidently, therefore, silts need not
be restricted to any one group, although
ifor the next few years, at least, the suc-
‘cess of the Bureau must depend largely
‘upon the support of college’ women in
New York.

Results already achieved and the
| promise they give of future usefulness,
‘amply justify further support. From
|September, 1911, to January 1, 1915, more
| than 7500 people have appealed to the
|Bureau for information, for vocational
‘counsel or for positions. Of these, 2650
‘have registered, of whom, 1021 are
‘alumne of the nine co-operating col-
‘leges. We have placed 1186 applicants in
positions. No charge is made to those
who do not actually register with the
Bureau. The earnings from registration
fees and commissions paid by those who
do register, obviously should not be ex-
pected to cover more than the actual
cost of the placement work. Thousands
of other women, besides those registered,
| have received information about technical
schools, civil service positions, other
agencies, fellowships and vocational op-
|portunities. The Bureau is constantly
enriching and classifying its store of in-
formation on these points, and the num-
ber of educated women depending upon
it for such facts increases month by
|month.
| The growth of the Bureau as a business
‘agency is shown in the fact that the
average monthly earnings from fees and
commissions have increased from $58 in
1911-12, to $143 in 1912-13, $350 in 1913-14,
and $469 in 1914-15. Calls from em-
ployers have steadily increased and even
during this winter of business depression,
December was the record month, and
| January was larger than December. The
total number of calls registered from
employers up to January 1, 1915, was

would be able to recognize it. The great
demand of that work was to have some
one bring it to the consciousness of peo-
ple outside of it. In the year 1905 Miss
Susan B. Anthony and I were invited by
the President of your College to spend a
day at Bryn Mawr. Miss Anthony had
sent a message saying she wanted to
come and she was courteously welcomed.
She came with her heart burdened with a
great concern for the cause for which she
had given her life, realizing that her life
was hear its end and that she had put into
it all that she could. It now needed a dif-
ferent sponsor, somebody who could put
it before the world in a different way from
that in which she and those working
with her were able to. Our convention
met that year at Baltimore and Miss An-
thony knew that if somebody who had in-
fluence could bring woman suffrage be-
fore people of importance and power, that
that would be the turning point to the
final victory for our cause, and she
thought of none save your President and.
Miss Garrett. And so, as she was shown
the grounds and buildings, her mind was
on neither grounds nor buildings. She
was thinking how she could best p nt
her message and finally said: ‘Your bui

ings are beautiful; Bryn Mawr is won-
derful, but that is not just why I am here.
I néed your help.’ And then she unfolded
her wish that these two women might
take hold of this convention and put it
before the kind of people who would be
able to grasp it and give it a standing in
the broad world. She told Miss Garrett
what she could do and Miss Thomas what
she could do to make this convention the
climax of her life. They both responded
with that open-mindedness and broad
generosity which made the Baltimore Con-
vention really the beginning of a new era
in the suffrage werk. From that time to
this Miss Garrett loaned herself to the
cause wherever she could. And_ the
pledge of Miss Garrett and Miss Thomas
to Miss Anthony to raise a sum of $60,000
to.carry on the suffrage work made death
easy for Miss Anthony, for it was the con-
firmation of her hopes. I want to add
that the pledge was carried out. From
that day Miss Garrett never separated
herself in thought or interest from the
work itself. And year by year, when our
annual conventions came, she, to me, was
one of the greatest inspirations in the
convention. When emotion ran high I
could always look at her calm, placid,
beautiful face and know that when the
right moment came a word would be
spoken which would show us the right
manner of doing the right thing. She
was to me more than I can express in
words. I do not know what our cause
would have been without the help of
these two women, for I never separate
them in word or in service because they
served our work together in harmonious
co-operation. But Miss Garrett is only
gone out of sight. She used to go to Eu-

JUNIORS AGAIN DEFEATED BY
SOPHOMORES
Once more the Juniors were forced to
yield’ to 1917’s superior playing, and lost
to them on Friday by a score of 16 to 4.
1916’s weakest point was their inability
to shoot baskets. The guards, M. Chase
and A. Werner, played a splendid game,
but the forwards and to some extent the
centers did not carry out the good work.
L. Brown played the best game for 1917,
passing and dribbling well, and shooting
five baskets. The passing between the
Sophomores’ guards and centers, was
very swift. The line-up was as follows:

FIRST GAME IN FINALS WON BY 1917



1917 defeated 1915 in the first basket-
ball game of the finals by a score of 13-8.
This uneven score, however, by no means
indicates the comparative ability of the
two teams. Both made the same number
of regular baskets, both had equally good
team play, but both did not have equally
good luck. Time and again the ball left
the Senior forward’s hands, trembled on
the edge of the basket and missed. 1917’s
guards, M. Thompson and M. Lammers,
were much better than those of 1915, M.
Goodhue and P. Collins. 1917's coolness
was also superior to 1915’s rather wild
fighting. The first half ended with 1915,
0; 1917, 12. The playing in the second
half was faster and 1915 scored four
baskets. 1917. added another free throw
to her four of the first half, winning the
game by a comfortable margin of five.
Again S. R. Smith played the best game
for the Seniors, while H. Harris and M.
Willard did much in helping 1917 to vic-

tory.

The line-up was as follows:

The Freshmen were again beaten by
the Seniors on Thursday by a score of
13-11. This was a very exciting game to
watch, as both teams were very evenly
matched. When the whistle blew ending
the last half the score was a tie, so ac-
cording to the rule they kept on playing
until one side scored two points. E. Des-
Sau suddenly got entirely clear of her
guard and easily shot the deciding goal.

THE SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE



At Mt. Ivy, the summer camp of the
New York College Settlement, in the
beautiful mountains of the lower Cats-
kills, the delegates to the College Settle-
ment Association Conference were enter-
tained. On the 83 acres of orchards and
fields, in the wooded mountains of south-
ern New York, there were several bunga-
lows and cottages built by the clubs in
the city for their use during the summer.
In these cottages the delegates stayed
and the meetings were held on the
porches. Bryn Mawr sent four delegates
to this conference, M. Dodd, ‘16; M.
Scattergood, °17, elector 1914-15; EB. Dulles,
"17, elector 1915-16, and L. Smith, ’18.
There were about fifty delegates, repre-
senting ten different colleges and alumnz
associations. Miss Tubby and Miss Arny,
Bryn Mawr graduates, who were there,
are officers in the association.

The first meeting of the conference was
a business meeting, at which Miss Ellen
Emerson Smith was elected president in
place of Mrs. Thair, who resigned after
having done splendid work in the asso-
ciation for many years. The head work-
ers of the different settlement houses re-
ported on their work, which has been in
the main very successful despite the hard
times.

The new department in social and eco-
nomic study, which is to begin at Bryn
Mawr next year, was the subject of much
discussion.
is to occupy the new Carola Woerishoffer
chair, was herself at the conference and
told something of her plans in an address,
which she gave on the value of the volun-
teer and the trained worker. She is to
have courses in graduate wark which give
a thorough knowledge of thé“theoretical
and academic side of social work and
will be combined with practical work at
the settlement houses for a special certifi-
cate or a doctor’s degree. She will also
give a post major course and one division
in minor economics. These courses give
a new opportunity to those who realize
their civic responsibilities and wish to get
the most comprehensive foundation for
efficient work.

Dr. John L. Elliot, of Hudson guild,
gave a stirring talk on “Twenty-five Years
in a New York Settlement.” He said that
we should not speak of settlements as
means to help the poor help themselves,
for that is putting them in a class with
the ordinary business man, lawyer or so-
cial worker; in reality, settlements do
much more, as they help the poor to help
each other. However much we do for
them, what the working women do for
their families, and what the men do for
their neighbors in a winter of hard times
like this is infinitely nobler and harder.
He struck the note of the conference
in his forceful expression of the need of
putting one’s whole strength and soul into
this work, of giving those who are op-
pressed by poverty and bad conditions
the chance which they deserve, and to
further them in their co-operation with
each other.

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION COLUMN

The ‘Bmployment Bureau Committee

will soon be coming around to arrange

with the Seniors.to sell their furniture
in the fall. Last year almost every piece |
of furniture which was left was disposed
of. In all more than $300 worth of furni-
ture was sold, and the Bureau hopes to
increase ‘this amount this year.

The Membership Committee is canvass-
ing the active members of the Christian
Association, who are not returning to
College, for Associate membership of the
association. _.

Material is being collected for the
handbook by C: Godley. H. Allport has
taken charge of the advertisements. —



THE CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION IN
SWITZERLAND



The Federation Committee has decided
to publish reports on the work of the
World’s Student Christian Federation
taken from articles in the “Student
World.” The following is an account of
the Christian Association in Switzerland:

“One of the most interesting subjects
discussed in the Students’ Conference,
held at St. Croix in 1909, is the increase
in the number of women students, and
in the proportion of foreign students in
Switzerland. Forty per cent of the regular
student body are foreigners, most of them
Russians, who can not acquire the educa-
tion they want in their own country.
They live entirely apart from the Swiss
_ people, who distrust their revolutionary
- principles. A student generally lives on
about ten dollars a month, and has been
known to manage on four. They are, in
general, without religion, and although
university services and meetings for the
discussion of—religious— questions have
been organized, they have not met with
success. The foreign students constitute
one of the great problems and of the
great possibilities for Christian Associa-
tion work in Switzerland.”

UNDERGRADUATE PLEDGES REACH
$2,000 MARK



In the campaign for raising money for
the new athletic field, $2,000 has now
been pledged among the undergraduates
and the collectors hope to have almost as
much more pledged by them in the next
two weeks. Many people have not yet
decided how much they themselves will
give, or found out how much they can
get from family or friends. Everyone has
been very generous, but the generosity
most certainly is needed. There has been
quite a little money raised by the sale of
ice-cream cones, and during exams this
ought to prove a very profitable enter-
prise. The letters to the alumni are now
being written and sent out, but as this is
4 very large task all possible help is
needed. Will anyone having spare time
please go to M. Branson’s room and help?

GREEK GAMES AT BARNARD



The annual interclass meet at Barnard,
which was won by the Sophomores, was
not a typical American track meet, but
an imitation of the old Greek games. Im-
,personations of the Greek deities were
given and a prayer was sung to Apollo.
There was a dance and a poetry contest.
The drivers of the chariot race cracked
their whips over the backs of their
classmates. ‘The torch race had to be run
twice because the torch of one of the run-
ners went out and while it was being
relighted the race was won. Form of
marching, grace and beauty of singing all

counted for points. When the score was:

announced the contestants forgot the an-
cient réles and joined in an enthusiastic
snake dance.

The subject of the final debate between
1915 and 1917 concerns the abolition of
the Monroe Doctrine. F. Hatton, M. Free
and. H. ‘Taft will support. the affirmative;
D. Shipley, V. Lichfield and M. Willett
will speak for the affirmative.



CAMPUS NOTES.
F. Iddings.has been elected head proc-
tor in Denbigh in place of T. Howell who
has resigned.

-Miss Dora Keen, who is to lecture here
on Saturday evening, is a Bryn Mawr
graduate of the class of 1896, She has
presented a picture of the Bryn Mawr
glacier to the College. The following
description of the glacier is given in the
“Alumne Quarterly”: “The glacier was
advancing rapidly in 1910, and Miss Keen
observed indications that it was still ad-
vancing. It is a mile wide and more than
three miles long and has a tidal cliff of
over 100 feet high, from which huge ice-
bergs fall constantly without warning.”

On Monday evening Dr. Fisher deliv-
ered a most interesting lecture to the
Philosophy Club on “War and Christian-
ity. ”

The Lost ‘and Found Auction will be
held on Thursday evening at 7.15. Larie
Klein will be auctioneer.

The Lost and Found Auction will be held
on Thursday evening at 7.15.



1917 WINS TENNIS DOUBLES CHAM-
PIONSHIP



In spite of the fact that they were play-
ing against the singles champions, the
Sophomores won the new cup presented
by 1914 by beating 1918 in three straight
matches. Two of the matches were won
in straight sets, only one needing three
sets to decide it. This match, however,
between R. McIlvaine and R. Levy—1917

against M. Winsor and E. Atherton—was |
the most exciting as it was the closest}

and hardest fought of the three. None

of the tennis was, however, remarkably |

good. The matches were: M. Thompson
and C. Stevens, 1917, vs. H. Alexander
and’ D. Kuhn, 7-5, 6-3; R. Levy and R.
McIlvaine, 1917, vs. M., Winsor and B.
Atherton, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3; J. Pauling and M.
Willett, 1917, vs. P. Fiske and BE. Merk,
6-2, 6-4,
