SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT A BURNING
QUESTION

The suffrage amendment, having passed
both houses of the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture is to come before the people of.
Pennsylvania this November. In order to
become a law, this amendment must re-
ceive a two-thirds majority of all the votes
cast. For this reason the suffrage parties
are very active.

There are three suffrage parties in
Philadelphia, the College Equal Suffrage
League, the Woman’s Suffrage Party, and
the Equal Franchise League. Mrs. Walter
M. Newkirk is the president of the Col-,
lege Equal Suffrage League. Mrs. New-
kirk was a graduate student at-Bryn,
Mawr from 1910 to. 1912. ._The head- |
quarters of the Equal Suffrage League are
on Ninth Street below Chestnut. The
place may easily be recognized by the
large yellow placard in the window on
which appears the motto “Vote ‘Yes’ on
November 2d.” Stickers with the suffrage
map and suffrage pins may be bought in- |
side.

On October 22d there will be a torch-
light parade in Philadelphia, and some
time within the next month a meeting
will be held in Bryn Mawr village.

In New York and New Jersey the ques-
tion of suffrage is also to be voted on this
fall. In New Jersey the election comes
one week before that in Pennsylvania,
and it is felt that the results there will
have the greatest influence on the Penn-
sylvania election.

Those of 1915 who have been working
for suffrage during the past summer are
Laura Branson, Hazel Barnett and Isabel
Foster.

CYNTHIA WESSON BREAKS ARCH-
ERY RECORD



Wins National Championship

Cynthia Wesson, 09, won the Woman's |
National Archery Championship at Chi-_
cago and broke the former record by four
points. Her total score in “National” and
“York” matches was 1980 and her record |
score was 998 points and 144 hits. Miss)
Wesson had no near rival, winning every-
thing except the handicap match by a
wide margin. The “Movies” took advan-|
tage of her exceptionally good archery |
and caught Miss Wesson in the winning
round so that her .good form and keen |
marksmanship ¢an be seen by thousands |
who were not at the Chicago tournament.

to be a “nuisance,”







This is |

‘all the students and writing to alumnae,
|former students and all those interested
‘in the College. Class committees took
| charge of the work among the under-
‘graduates and there was great rivalry to
| see which class could first raise $1000.
The committees deserve praise for the
way in which they eloquently persuaded
| people to part with their money, though
the undergraduates were very liberal in
|giving. Various methods for earning
|money were used, such as selling ice
cream cones, renting bicycles, and clean-
ing shoes. One of the most profitable
methods was preparing picnics. This

netted $30. 1916 worked particularly
hard, and, although it is the smallest
class, it was the first to reach the $1000
mark.

The class committees were as follows:

1915, I. Zeckwer, chairman, E. Dessau, O.
Erbsloh; 1916, F. Kellogg, chairman, L.
Goodnow, C. Kellen, F. Hitchcock; 1917,
M. Seattergood, chairman, M. Thompson,

V. Litehfield;
Ek. Houghton, M.

1918, T. Howell, chairman,
Bacon, L. Richardson.

The result of the campaign was:

This sum was sufficient to meet the cost
of the work done.

Field Surpasses Plans

During the summer the work on the
field was done. Its position, to the north
of the lower hockey field, was so
chosen that the field could be flooded in
winter to the depth of a few inches giving
smoother ice and a longer period of
skating.

In order to have the old field properly
drained, a new culvert was run under it
and the new field, and a floodgate was
placed just above the power house. Two
new tennis courts were made by cutting
into the hill on which the Professors’
houses stand. The third court which was
planned may perhaps be bujlt later if
money can be raised, or if enough is left
from the original fund. |

In certain respects the work has been
made very difficult for Mr. Foley. In
June, the call for the Italian reservists to
join their colours took away many of the
workmen, and during the time the cutting
and filling for the new field was being
done, there were bad washouts due to
springs and many rains. Despite these
difficulties the new field is firm and
covered with a hopeful crop of grass, and,
for the first time in many years, dry. The

broad expanse of the new field adds much
ito the natural beauty of the lower Cam-
ipus, and the new steps and backstops
add to its appearance of orderliness

The “Clubs and How to Enter Them”
column in this first issue of ‘‘The News”
is intended to be of use to all. Fresh-
men who have vaguely intended to join
the English Club because, “I’m really



quite interested in English,’ and Upper-
classmen who have belonged to, “‘six dif- |
ferent clubs and never been at a meeting |
of one,” may now leisurely choose their |
activities as they do their courses.

Bryn Mawr is one of the few colleges
in this country in which there is. abso-
lutely no elective society. Every member
of the college community who can fulfill
certain intellectual requirements may be-
long to any club. Popularity, prominence
in college affairs, wealth, athletic ability

-none of these influence in the slightest
one’s right to membership in any college
organization. Valuable as this absolute
democracy is, it has one drawback: the
clubs are too often filled with dawdlers
who enter them utterly uninterested or
who diffuse their energies so widely that
their work is of little value. The trouble
is not as has often been said, that we have
too many clubs, but that we join them
with inexact knowledge of their purposes
and with no intention of aiding in the
accomplishment of these purposes. A
club is an association of those who are
drawn together by a common interest,
and can not succeed unless so consti-
tuted.

Doubtless many signatures that will be
of great value in the future, and many
specimens of untutored art have vanished
forever through the scraping and varnish-
ing of the desks in Taylor Hall. Never-
theless we cannot bring ourselves to be
wholly sorry for the loss. There is some-
thing almost beautiful about the lecture-
rooms in their new neatness. Let us
ostracize once and forever the vandal
who dares to touch pencil or pen-knife
to such spotless perfection.

On last year’s athletic record is writ-
ten: “Wanted, five thousand dollars for a
new hockey field”; on the opposite page
is inscribed in flourishes: “One new
hockey field and two new tennis courts
ready and waiting for use.” The most
disinterested passer-by must admit the
beauty of the smooth stretch of sparsely
begrassed ground; the least enthusiastic
student must be bursting with eagerness
to “trip it on the grass.” The immediate
practical advantages of the hew field are
evident and the importance as an indica-
tion of the democratic tendencies of the
College is not slight. Everyone must
have a chance to play hockey; the puffing,
panting fourth ‘teams must be given an
opportunity as well as the expert athletes
of the first teams. Vassar has one hockey
field for a thousand students; Wellesley
organized its sports so that a student
may take part in only one a, year. At

- Bryn Mawr even: the least athletic strug-
gle to raise for our thousands of dollars,

COLLEGE ORGANIZATIONS |



Associations
Every member. of the ‘undergraduate.
‘ body of Bryn Mawr is ipso facto a mem-
- ber of the Self-Government Association,
the Athletic Association and the Under-
graduate Association. Graduates must
belong to the Self-Government Associa-
tion and may belong to the Athletic Asso-
ciation. The Graduate Club is composed
of the entire Graduate School.

“The aim of the Christian Association
is to strengthen the religious life of the
members of the College, to deepen their
faith and to unite them in Christian
work. Membership in the Association is
open to any woman in the College who de-
sires to make this aim her own, and to
live after the example of Christ in’ the
spirit of reverent worship, fellowship and
service.” .The work of the Association
is carried on through committees, the
chairmen of which compose the Executive
Board. The Association is supported by
the dues of the members, 75 cents a sem-

ester, and by voluntary pledges from the

members.
Clubs and How to Enter Them

The purpose of the Science Club is two-
fold. It was organized to bring together
those students who were majoring in Sci-
ence and to give them an opportunity to
hear lectures which were too technical
for the student body in general. It has,
however, been the custom for members of
the club to invite their friends to these
lectures, and to the receptions which fol-
low them. The second aim of the club is
to interest the student body in general
scientific work, and to arrange to have
outside speakers address the College on
subjects of general scientific interest,
Anyone who has taken or who is taking a
major science course is—eligible. The
dues are one dollar a year.

The object of the Liberal Club is to
promote an intelligent interest in current
affairs. At its meetings, which oceur
fortnightly, informal discussions are held
on matters of timely interest, political,
economic and social. Twice in the course
of the year a speaker of note is invited
by the club to address the College. The
Liberal Club has no constitution, no dues,
no partisan bias. It welcomes to mem-
bership any undergraduate and graduate
student who will take an active interest
in its meetings, :

This year, when the question of equal
franchise is to be voted on by the people
of Pennsylvania, the Bryn Mawr Suffrage
Club should be of unusual importance to
those who feel a real interest in the suc-
cess of the suffrage cause. Last year the
club secured. some notable’ speakers,
among them Frau Rosika Schwimmer
and Mrs. Beatrice Forbes-Robertson Hale.
The club furnishes the best possible
means of furthering the suffrage cam-
paign and is of value as an opportunity
for free discussion.

English Club is a reward, not of merit,
but of credits. Two “Credits” or one
“High Credit” in any writing course,
either required or elective, is the qualifi-
cation for membership, and the club is,
at present, open only to Juniors and
Seniors. The membership used to be
limited to ten, but last year, when there
were thirteen Juniors and Seniors eligi-
ble, this limitation was set aside. English
Club was originated in the days when
traditions. were being made, and was
intended as an outlet for that early
energetic Bryn Mawr type who had more
ideas than could be made use of in re-
quired Engjish, and who lacked the vent
of our present elective courses. In tho
days, we are told, the members of th
English Club wrote novels and poems and
read them to each other. In our day of
specialization and elective courses we
have all the writing for which we have
ideas, but the usefulness of English Club
is not for that reason outlived. English
Club is still a group especially interested
in writing—an interest which is, after
all, more personal and more productive
of conversation than many others. Last
year English Club. met together at infor-



mal teas to read and discuss—Granville
Barker’s plays for one thing. This year

| more will be made of the informal side | q

of the club, to make this meeting of a
group which has a common interest really
significant. Of the “open meetings” of
the club, where someone from ‘outside the
College speaks, it is hoped that they will
realize the high hopes raised by the meet-
ing last year addressed by Mrs. Katherine
Fullerton Gerould. mt

With the view of furthering antiainad
philosophic interest in College, the Phil-
osophy Club is open to all those who have
taken any Philosophy or who are in the
general course. ‘From time to time distin-
guished men are secured as speakers by
the club. The professors of the Philoso-
phy Department occasionally read papers
at the meetings. The dues are dne dollar |
a year.

Anyone may become a member of the
History Club who is majoring in History
and who has received either five hours’
“High Credit” or ten hours’ “Credit” in
the subject (dues one dollar a year). The.
Club holds four or five meetings and re- |
ceptions for special speakers as well as
the regular meetings for business and
discussion. The subjects taken up by the
Club are intimately connected with the



present world crises and so are of real |
interest to all the members.

The Glee Club is composed of sixty |
voices. Anyone who wishes to do so may |
try out for membership during the first |
week of College. Last May the Club gave |
the operetta “Pinafore” very successfully
and this year it will give something sim- |
ilar. Meetings are held regularly once a
week.

The Debating Society is under the Un-
dergraduate Association, but the mem-
bership is voluntary. The debates are
interclass competitions and are held at
least once a month. Last year the so-
ciety made great progress and this year
is to have special instruction and criti- |
cism.

The Trophy Club is a small committee
which takes charge of such things as pro-
grams, lanterns and pictures so that they
may be safely kept for the interest of
coming College generations.
