REVIVAL OF FENCING MATCH
Undergraduates to Fence Once More
Against the Alumnz
Soon after Easter vacation the Alum-
ne and the undergraduates are to fence
against each other. Since 1912, the un-
dergraduates have been unable to re-
spond to the challenge of the Alumne,
but once more they feel bold enough to
try their skill. In the two matches which
have been held between these two teams,
the Alumnz have both times been vic-
torious. In 1911, E. Kirkbride, '96; B.
09; C. Wesson, '09, for the)
Alumne, fenced against a Varsity team, |
K. Chambers, °11; H. Emerson, ’11; M.
Hobart, 11, with a score of 6-3, and in
1912, K. Chambers, '11; B. Ehlers, ‘09;
E. Kirkbride, ’96, and G. Biddle, '09, de-
feated E. Hurd, '12, Captain; A. M. Tay-
lor; "18; I.- Vincent, '12:: H. Stix, *14;: C.
Hewitt, °15.
The fencers among the undergraduates
elected E. Rapallo to manage the team. |

gymnasium on Tuesday night at quarter
before nine. ‘

Congratulations to 1918 and welcome to
their class animal! The Mongoose was
very active even after dyeing. The orig-
inality and artisticness of the posters an-
nouncing the Freshman Show were ri-
valled by the show itself. Such an excel-
lent production is possible only with great
attention to detail, indefatigable work
and the co-operation of the whole class.
It is especially difficult to get a Freshman
class to work together and to fit the dif-
ferent members into the right positions.
On this score as well as on the success
of her stage managing much credit is due
C. Dodge.
The first act at Bryn Mawr is, of course,
not new; in fact, it is extremely trite, but
it was saved by the original execution, by
the hockey chorus especially.
The second and third acts were the
really original parts of the performance.
It’s a long jump from Bryn Mawr to
Egypt and takes inventive genius. This
was furnished in great part by V. Pome-
roy, who designed the scenery of the sec-
ond act, the inside of a Pyramid looking
out on the Nile, and to Mary Senior, chair-
man of the committee on scenery. It
|.was the chef d’ceevre of the evening. The
accuracy of the hieroglyphics on the wall
and the mummy cases, together with the
excellent posing of the frieze, and the
scarab on its altar, created immediately
an ancient Egyptian atmosphere. The
audience marveled at the composure of
M. Scott, the scarab, in maintaining so
difficult a position throughout the act, in
which she sang admirably several times.
The mummies suddenly hopping out of
their cases startled the audience into
shouts of laughter. The next feature, the
College in 2000 B:C., was fine, especially

MISS KING’S SPEECH IN CHAPEL
On the Annual Exhibition of the Philadel-
phia Academy of Fine Arts
The Exhibition has been running long
enough now for most of you to have seen
it and all of you to have heard about it.
The general opinion seems to be that
might have been very much
worse, yet it might have been a good
deal better. My own impression, the first -
time that I saw it, was confirmed when
i went back to study the pictures, that
while the general level of work is fair
and very little comes lagging as far as
the ideals of 1840 on the Hudson River,
which appear every year in the Academy
in New York, yet none of the great splen-
did stirring things which ft remember hav-
ing seen at the Philadelphia Academy
(not in my childhood, for everything
seems stirring then, but not so many
years ago), are in this Exhibition. Just
to. confirm my own impression of what
might be the reason for this, I went to
New York and walked through Fifth
Avenue, stopping at the picture dealers’
shops, for it is they who can tell what
pictures will be successful. A great So-
cialist lately said that no great and good
thing was ever brought to pass except
on commercial grounds. Things get
done not because they are right, but be-
cause they are needed. The picture
dealers can tell you which way the
stream is going to run. And after I had
sat down in the Metropolitan Museum at
the top of Fifth Avenue, foot-sore and
weary, I knew the reason there was
nothing more surprising and more per-
sonal in the Academy was because the
artists knew that doing that kind of
thing would insure them immediate
rejection by the Hanging Committee.
I am going to speak this morning about
the pictures that strike you first, then I
am going on with the new names. When-
ever I go to an exhibition, I try to bring
away with me one or two names that |
have not ‘heard of before. They may not
be entirely new, but at least I have not
heard of them. For the next time I shall
leave the question of the prizes and why
they were given and why they should or
should not have been given and also say
something about the portrait and land
scape painting in a more general way.
The first thing one sees is the beaut!
