The début of the “News” has been in
a troubled time.

We have, as President Thomas said to
the Seniors in the Deanery garden, sur-
vived two wars: the European conflict
and the cut rule. But we have survived,
in spite of petitions and colored quiz
books; and even if troubled, the year has
been eventful. It has been a period of
innovations touching all phases of College
life, from the Debating Society to the
“Lantern” cover. The test of any inno-
vation must be, of course, its wearing
quality and at College, as anywhere else,
only that can persist which answers some
need and fills some empty place.

We dare to hope that the “News” has
filled some such place. Our aim, to re-
peat the very first statement we made to
the--world, has always been to unite the
different parts of College. The “News”
has thus sought to represent both faculty
and graduates as well as alumne and
undergraduates. Knowledge of what
others are-doing brings interest in activi-
ties other than our own, and the realiza-
tion that in spite of the varied interests
Bryn Mawr constitutes a “whole.”

Whether the “News” may rightly claim
any real part in College life and a right
to future existence must be left to the
judgment of the next few years. _

College papers have not the opportunity
which an association has to show its -ap-
preciation of the work of its/retiring of-
ficers by a vote of thanks, applause, and
stamping of feet. We wish that we could
add to the black and white statement
the vigor of lusty cheers, when we try
to express all that the “News” owes to
its retiring Editor-in-Chief, Isabel Foster,
and Assistant Editor, Adrienne Kenyon.
An Alumna writes: “To us the ‘College
Weekly’ is filling a long-felt need in
keeping us in touch with the more inti-
mate history of college life. The simple
directness and unaffected téne of the
paper makes it possible for everyone to
find time to read its contents and enjoy
the thoroughly balanced points of view
implied while not expressed.”

The “News” board is united unani-
mously in feeling that this may be con-
sidered as a personal appreciation of the
work of its two Senior editors. It is they
who are responsible for the “News” as it
is to-day. :

It is their energy, their persistence,
their clear sightedness, and their optim-
ism that has made actual what was a
year ago an Utopian dream.

The thoroughness with which they have
carried out the policy with which the
“News” started, and has sought to make
the paper representative of Bryn Mawr
as a whole has made for the paper that
place which its founders desired for it.

GOUCH ER DROPS LATIN



Latin is no longer a requirement for
entrance at Goucher College. The stu-
dents are still advised to take at least
three units for entrance, but they can,
if they wish, substitute another language.
The faculty maintain that this is no

lowering of the standard, since an equal
amount of intellectual work is required
| tm the language substituted: “They hopé| -
‘that this will broaden the usefulness of
the College, and are sute that an equiva-
lent amount of work in French or Ger-|
man will be as beneficial as Latin.



CORRESPONDENCE COLUMN

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

It seems not to have occurred to
anyone that in placing the new athletic
field, there was anything to be considered
but the size of the ground available. We
have not seen the plans, but we are told
that it will be necessary to remove the
trees in the hollow by the powerhouse.
Such a proceeding would mean a loss to
the college that could not be replaced.
Trees, and such trees as those especially,
are a great asset to the beauty of the
campus. Moreover, they screen the
powerhouse. Why tear them down and
then plant “a woods of our own” on the
other side of the lower athletic field?
Why not leave those trees and put the
new athletic field at the other end of the
old? Five Alumnae.

(Editor’s Note)—We publish this letter
as it gives us an opportunity to corréct a
common misunderstanding. When the
necessity for another field arose in 1910,
the Athletic Board was anxious to put it
“on the other side of the lower athletic
field.” This was impossible, according
to the original plans for laying out the
campus, made by the architect and the
landscape-gardener. Another proposal
was to place the third field just below
Radnor, next to the present upper-
field. This space had, however, been
reserved by the architects for the stu-
dents’. Building. The ground by the
powerhouse was, therefore, the only
space available. We understand that the
new field will be in such a position that
it will be unnecessary to sacrifice any
trees for it.

DEMONSTRATION OF THE MODEL
SCHOOL CHILDREN IN
EURYTHMICS



On Friday, May 8th, at 3 o’clock, a most
interesting demonstration of the work of
the Model School children in Burythmics
and Ear-training was given in the Gym-
nasium. The purpose of the work in
Eurythmics is to cultivate a very exact
understanding of music (values of notes,
rhythm, accent, phrasing, tempo, etc.),
and also to acquire the muscular control
necessary to realize the music in action.
The movements are at first very arbi-
trary, the steps representing the value of
the notes and the arms the measure.
When the pupil is able to express the
music by means of these arbitrary move-
ments, and her understanding of the
music is obvious, the motions may be
varied and expression becomes more
“plastic.”

The children, however, had hardly ar-
rived at the plastic stage, though some of
the exercises were very expressive, par-
ticularly those in which more than one
child took part. One of the most pleas-
ing was an exercise performed by two
‘children, hand in hand, one child walking
the theme of the music, the other the
counterpoint.

Many exercises require a great deal of
concentration. One of these is the exer-
cise of beating three-quarter time with
one arm, and four-quarter time with the
other, while marking five-quarter rhythm
with the feet.

The children, with their short garments
of yellow and green, and their bare arms
and legs, seemed to be participating more
in an esthetic than a gymnastic exercise.
In the Dalecroze system both gymnastic
and gsthetic elements are wonderfully
combined with mental exercise, The
work is so fascinating that it is not
fatiguing and requires such exact atten-
tion that self-consciousness is lost. It is



true preparation for self-expression.



1916 LANTERN

Cee

)

Mbiinge -coptepne, the. judgment- like

being a native,” according to Hillaire
‘Belloc, and an tion of the 1915
“Lantern” taking rise from the campus
cannot perhaps’ attain a cold judicial em-
inence. However, assuming and discount-
ing for our common weakness for “Idola
Specus,” we must rate the “Lantern” note-
worthy. To assemble within such narrow
limits such finished work as “An Apo-
logue,” “A Foreign Profile,” and the
“Sonnet in the Early Italian manner,” is
an achievement;. and almost the entire
collection manifests an artistic conscien-
tiousness crystallizing in a distinctness
of impression rare in a composite. ‘“Kar-
nak” and the translation of “Une Jeune
Fille” have caught elusive lights and fra-

grances and movements; the “Duchess”

is a delicate vignette; and the spirit of
freshness of “An Old Mare” triumphs
over some rather conventional phrasing.
As to the essays, we should welcome
more of the critic in the wholly entertain-
ing exhibit of “F. P. A.”; we delight in
the graceful intellectual frisking of the
“Gardner’s Wordsworth” and “Reductio
ad Absurdum,” wondering perhaps how
long it could be kept up; and we are
grateful for our engaging introduction to
the engaging “Paul.” In a day where
artistic disciplines have fallen somewhat

out of favor, it is satisfying to note that:

our academic anthology standardizes, for
the most part, above the bizarre and
obscure in matter, the capricious and
irregulated in form.

It is the habit of the carping critic,
when he can not lay hold upon anything
to wrench away, to search out the defect
of a quality and he might be led to say
that the “Lantern” had achieved its
freedom from crudity at the expénse of
something of vitality. I do not mean
that the technique of realism is wanting,
not one of the contributions fails of its
illusion; I am far from pleading for a
limitation of the world of the familiar;
and “A Rainy Day” is perhaps an object
lesson in the merits of photography per
se; I mean rather that the “Lantern”
contributions have not taken up the chal-
lenge of the world of sharper realities.
To illustrate, the stories are admirably
finished sketches in the comic, the pa-
thetic, and the strange; they refrain from
the deeper springs of human action that
give rise to conflict. The atmosphere of
the “Lantern” is serene, rarefied. That
is, of course, in one aspect as right as
it is natural; and further, to desire for
future “Lanterns” resistance to a “refined
and comely decadence” is not to wish
them to share in the modern current of
ugly realism of horrors. One’s wish is
with the forces of universal struggle.

PRESIDENT THOMAS SUMS UP THE
YEAR—NEW PLAN FOR DEBATING

At the last Chapel on May 26th, Presi-
dent Thomas gave a summary of the
events of the college year. She began
by saying that we should be very thank-
ful for the peace which permits us to
study as usual. She then outlined some
of the most significant things which have
happened during the college year, say-
ing:

The most truly important step forward
taken by the College has been the foun-
dation of the new Carola Woerishoffer
Department of Social Economy and So-
cial Research. Many social workers have
expressed to me their satisfaction that
Bryn Mawr is going to study these social
problems because, as they say, there are
now in the field many practical workers
and only a few trained leaders.

The interest taken by the undergrad-
uates during the past year in debating
gives promise of future su in public
speaking. Dr. Shearer tells m even
now she thinks that the unde uate
debating compares favourably with the
debating which she heard recently at Vas-
sar College. Debating is not only of
practical value but is a truly intellectual
sport. It teaches you to get what you



you Wish to ask the faculty
the help which

yeat and that in «

the College to provide two ae
coaches—a man trained in the formal
methods of debating and a woman of the
practical kind that has been developed
recently to teach young women suffra-
gists_ to speak effectively at street
corners from soap boxes. I shall be very
glad to offer a prize each year to the
best debater in the College and also a
debating shield or cup on which the
names of the winning class teams may be
inscribed year after year. When you
have material for a creditable Varsity
team there will, I think, be no objection
to your challenging other women’s col-
leges.

It is also of interest that during the
past year we have reached the conclusion
in many departments of study that it
will be wise to return next year to
our former five-hour-a-week system of
courses. We believe that your work will
gain in continuity and interest and that
the lessening of quizzes and final exam-
inations will give you mo me to think
and read in connection with your college
work.

The Graduate Administrative Com-
mittee which has been in operation this
year has seemed to solve a great many
of the difficulties and misunderstandings
between the Self-Government Association
as a whole, and the Graduate Association,
and will be made an integral part of the
Self-Government Association next year.

The faculty and undergraduate students
have also given a great deal of attention
throughout the year to the subject of
attendance at classes. We have all
agreed as to the end to be obtained, but
we have differed as to the best means
of attaining it. Our discussions have
aroused the amused and interested at-
tention of other colleges and have had
the result of making some of them con-
sider carefully the working of their
present attendance rules. I hope very
much that as a result of our agitation,
Bryn Mawr may be able to make a con-
tribution to this most important educa-
tional question.

The undergraduates are to be con-
gratulated on the “Lantern” which I have
just read in proof. It seems to me truly
literary and truly modern. Both the
poetry and the prose seem to me to show
that the College is on its way to develop-
ing a literary atmosphere of extreme
modernity but not on that account to be
found fault with because each literary
generation begins by outraging the prej-
udices of the former literary generation.

It looks as if the Athletic Association,
which is another name for the whole
College—as I think that all the under-
graduates belong to it, would give us a
commencement gift of a new athletic
field and skating pond and new tennis
courts. I am told by the President of the
Athletic Association that $4100 has al-
ready been subscribed and that the
Athletic Board believes that the full sub-
scription of $5000 will be obtained by
commencement. It will mean a great
deal for the general health and exercise
of the undergraduates to have enough
fields for all the class teams to exercise
on and to have a good skating pond for
the whole College. The Athletic Asso-
ciation is warmly to be congratulated,
and the sincere thanks of the College are
due to the undergraduate classes for their
large class subscriptions and to the
many alumne and friends who have
helped them.

SINGING AT VASSAR



At Vassar each class has its own steps
where the girls assemble every clear
night in the spring and fall. Sometimes
there is, instead, college singing when all
the classes get together about the Senior

THE COLL

EGE NEWS



BACCALAUREATE SERVICE
_ Dr. Francis G. Peabody preached an in-
spiring sermon at the Baccalaureate serv-
ice Sunday night. The Gymnasium was
almost filled by the visitors before the
academic ‘procession marched in.

The anthem, Roberts’ “Seek Ye the
Lord,” was excellent; the solo part, by
I. Knauth, ’17, was remarkably well sung.

The text of Dr. Peabody’s sermon was
the verse, “How knoweth this man letters,
having never learned?” The. answer to

this question put by the rabbis was, “If

any man doeth His will he will have
knowledge.”

Dr. Peabody then went on to say,
“Christ’s answer was, ‘My teachings are
not mine,’ for they were committed to
Him from above upon the surrender of
- His will. The dedication of the will is
the clarification of the mind. Our own

teachings would be self-conscious, apolo- |

getic; the teachings given us by a
Greater than we, are self-effacing and
powerful.”

He emphasized the fact that though
college training is not necessarily the
foundation for talent and genius, this is
no reason for standardizing mediocrity.
Academic work sometimes gives the edu-
cation of which the little immigrant girl
wrote in an essay when she said, “An edu-
cated man knows what other people
think, but an intelligent man knows his
own thinks.” College can perfect the in-
strument-through which the Power works,
but it is absolutely essential, as Fichte
says, for “the scholar and priest to do the
will of Him that sent him.”

Addressing the graduating class, Dr.
Peabody said that they were called to the
task of solving the world problems after
the war; that there had never been such
~ tremendous responsibilities, such need for
women’ s* ideals. Through the happy
yéats of college life they had been gain-
ing-the strength to bear their-own bur-
dens with the burdens of others added.
Now they must go out to their task, en-
trusted with Power from’on High.

1915’s HISTORY SONG



Tune: “On the Road to Mandalay”

Mary. Albertson,
Mary Gertrude Brownell.

When first we came to College,
Hopefully we wrote a song

About being one in Bryn Mawr;

But we didn’t feel so long.

So we found we had to tell you

What we thought you hadn’t seen—
That West, East, North, and also South
Make up 1915.

Chorus

On the road to yesterday,

Where the frog and scarab play

And the humming-bird comes draggled
From a frightful, dusty fray;

On the road to yesterday,

How we wish that we might stay,

For “friends are never parted”

On the road to yesterday.

Sophomore sophistication

Turned our thoughts to tragedy,
And we piled up heaps of corpses
On that “Road to Yesterday.”
Athletic fields and Cartreff

Did not tend to comedy—
Melancholia would have seized us
Without sunny Hatty B.

Chorus

On the road to yesterday,
Oral classes are not play
And a twenty-four-page essay
Is not written right away.

On the road, etc.

Green bottle glass in Junior year
Became the rage in rings

And further rage was raised in Hat
By what the Pale Lass sings. “ .
And those who come to class teas ©
Saw the cup of rage o’erflow,

But tourmaline hearts softened

At the baby of Pierrot.



Chorus

‘Om the road to yesterday

Where the young temptations play.
hisk thw hie Hen ae Os elne cue
Make a glittering display.

On the road, etc.

We put off passing Orals

While we passed around petitions,
And we gave up being Amazons

For Critical ambitions.

We kept that lady very dark— -

We do not like bright hues,

And sympathetic quiz books

Should restrain themselves to blues.

Chorus.
On the road to yesterday,
Where the “Critic” plotless play,
And the College Newsance lurked to hear
What anyone might say.
On the road, etc.
