PROSPECTS FOR VARSITY HOCKEY
GOOD



The Varsity hockey-team is scheduled
to play six games this ‘season, four
against club teams, one against the
alumna, and the final gamé against All-
Philadelphia. Last year the season closed
successfully with a tie between All-
Philadelphia and Bryn Mawr.
before, in the fall of 1912, has Bryn Mawr
been able to tie the score against this
team, which is composed of the best play-
ers of all the clubs.

Fortunately, the whole back-field which
played last fall has returned to College.
The forward line has several vacancies,
although L. Brown, right wing, and F.
Kellogg, left inside, are expected to keep
their places. M: Willard, who was the
only forward substitute receiving a B.M.,
is also ready to try for a position, and
F. Bradley will again be playing. A left
wing is badly needed, but there is every
reason to believe that 1918 or 1919 can
furnish one. Beside the regular team,
good substitutes are needed for every po-
sition.

The schedule of the Varsity games is
as follows:

Saturday, Oct. 16—Lansdowne Club.

Saturday, Oct. 23—Germantown Club.

Saturday, Oct. 30—Philadelphia Cricket
Club.

Saturday, Nov. 6—Merion Cricket Club.

Saturday, Nov. 13—Bryn Mawr Alum-
ne.

Saturday, Nov. 20—All-Philadelphia.

The Varsity committee has been ap-
pointed by the Athletic Board and con-
sists of M. Branson, captain, C. M. K.
Applebee, coach, F. O. Kellogg, M.
Thompson and M. Bacon.

_. ‘PARADE NIGHT A SUCCESS

On Thursday night the Freshman Class,
with the Bryn Mawr Band at their head
and the valiant Juniors at their side,
marched down to the lower hockey field
singing their first song. There they met
Sophomores who, with torches in their
hands, were dancing around a large bon-
fire. 1919 lined up on one side of the fire
while 1918 formed in back and sang. As
the Freshmen started to march back
from the field Sophomores broke in upon
the line, and, blocking the stairway,
forced them to come up around Rocke-
feller and through Pembroke arch, where

1918 sang their parody on the Freshman

song.

Only once.



BRYN MAWR OPENS FOR THIRTY-
FIRST YEAR



President Thomas Addresses Students



We meet this year at the opening of the
31st year of the College for another year
of peaceful study and, as at this time last
year, we meet in the midst of the greatest
war the world has ever known. Except
in our “Western Hemisphere there is
hardly any part of the world which is at
peace. Even though all Asia is not fight-
ing, there is widespread unrest through-
out the whole Hast and, as you know, the
hideous massacres of the Armenians by
the Turks are going forward as I speak
without any possibility of their being
checked. The largest battle lines of his-
tory are facing each other, running from
the North Sea to Switzerland on the east,
on the ‘west from the Gulf of Riga to the
Carpathian Mountains, and along these
hundreds of miles millions of men are
fighting each other. In the beautiful
Austrian Tyrol the Italians are storming
Austrian fortresses thousands of feet up
in the clouds. In the Carpathian Moun-
tains Russians and Hungarians are fight-
ing for the possession of savage mountain
passes. In the classic plains of Troy and
the Hellespont, through the classic seas
fought over by Greeks, Romans, Mace-
donians and all the races of antiquity,
English, Scotch, Irish, Australians, Ca-
nadians, Indians and French are strug-
gling with Germans for the ancient capi-
tal of the Byzantine Empire. Greece and
all the Balkan States, whose peoples are
the descendants of the inhabitants of the
outlying provinces of Greece and Rome,
are only waiting to spring to arms. In
the deserts and trackless forests of Africa
the British South African forces are tak-
ing jungles away from the few German
settlers. In a few months or weeks Great
Britain will own an African Empire that
stretches from the Cape to Cairo. Every-
where in the air aircraft, and under the
sea submarines and submarine traps,
wage incessant warfare.

Men of all the races at war between
twenty and fifty years of age are being
killed or invalided home, shattered in
mind and body. The women of all the
countries at war are doing men’s work at
home and must continue to do it for a
generation. As in previous wars, 40 per
cent of the men killed in battle will leave
no descendants, and among the men
killed first of all in battle will be as in all
other wars the most distinguished men
of their generation. Only a few of the
widows and sweethearts of the men
killed in battle will marry, and the weak-
ened descendants of the unfit will stagger
for generations under war debts such as
the world has never imagined. The torch
of civilization must be kept alight by the
youth of the neutral countries, of which
the United States is by far the greatest.
Your generation of Americans must see
to it that after the war is over there shall
never be another to destroy all that re-
mains to us of civilization. Until the war
is fought out nothing can be done. The
issues involved are so vast and the sacri-
fices already made so colossal that an
enforced peace now would mean an
armed camp of European nations gather-
ing fresh strength to spring at each
other’s throats. Moreover, an enforced
peace now would mean only an enforced
Germanic peace without indemnity for
ravished Belgium, Northern France and
Northeastern Russia—a peace unthink-
able for the Allies, who since the begin-
ning of the war for which they were

wholly unprepared, have been steadily



NEW CHOIR CHOSEN.
Processional to be a Part of Sunday
Evening Service.

Those who have been appointed to sing
in the choir are as follows: First So-
pranos: J. Deming, S. Jelliffe, N. Mc-

iFaden, L. Chase, A. Moore, D. Robb.

Second Sopranos: K. McCollin, D. De-
neen, T. Smith, M. Halle, T. Haines, H
Johnson. Altos: J. Ross, H. Harris, B.
Seelye, M. Andrews, M. Allen. Substi-
tutes: E. Emerson, M. Woodbury.

Miss Wynne, a graduate student, has
been appointed organist for this year.
Miss Wynne studied the pipe-organ at
Mt. Holyoke, and led the choir there for
a year. She has also held positions as
church organist in Longport, New Jersey,
and elsewhere. ‘

The choir will try an innovation on
next Sunday night. The first hymn will
be sung as a processional, the choir
marching in from the rear of the chapel,
followed by the minister of the evening.
It is hoped that in this way the dignity
of the Sunday evening service will be
increased and that the chapel will be
quiet before the service begins.





gaining from week to week in soldiers,
ammunition and offensive power.
I believe that Jane Addams and other

; women who--called -and—attended the

Women’s Peace Congress at the Hague
this summer were ill judged in their
action and wholly misinformed of the
actual situation. As was foreseen, they
accomplished nothing. The great suf-
frage leaders, Miss Shaw and Mrs. Pank-
hurst, and the Frenchwomen, who unan-
imously refused ‘to take part in the
Congress and sent a ringing protest,
seem to me much clearer sighted in wait-
ing until the war is over, when women
and men of all civilized countries can
unite together in plans for preventing
another war.

It becomes our highest duty, however, |
as citizens of a nation at peace now while |
the war is being fought out to a finish |
which is inevitable, in my opinion, to pre-
pare ourselves to come forward instantly
on its conclusion with a practical plan to
make war less probable, and permanent
peace more possible in the future. Such
a practical plan, and the only prac-
tical plan that I know of, is “The
League to Enforce Peace,” outlined
by Ex-President Taft for the first time
publicly at the last Bryn Mawr Com-

‘mencement and since then at many public

conferences and meetings. This League
to Enforce Peace has been recently or-
ganized with Mr. Taft as President, Pres-
ident Lowell, of Harvard, as Chairman of
the Executive Committee, and a long list
of Vice-Presidents of which I am happy
to be one. It should, in my opinion, be
joined by every Bryn Mawr professor and
student and by every other true Ameri-
can. The originally outlined plan was |
fully explained and admirably argued by |
Mr. Lowes Dickinson, of Oxford, in a
little book called ““The War and the Way |
Out,” which will be put in our College |
Library. Also in the October “Atlantic,”

President Lowell brings forward excel-|

lent reasons for organizing the League
to Enforce Peace and answers all objec-
tions to them. I hope that every student
will read both Mr. Dickinson’s book and
President Lowell’s article and if con-
vinced will become a member of the
League. On successive Fridays for the
next three weeks in chapel I will take up

the reasons for joining the League. Next |

to woman’s suffrage, it seems to me the

most urgent outside public question for

MANY ENJOY VACATIONS AT BATES
‘ HOUSE



Three hundred and ninety-five people
from the congested districts of New York
City were given a week’s outing at Bryn
Mawr’s vacation camp, Bates House at
Long Branch, New Jersey. The house
was under the management of Miss Vir-
ginia Deems and Miss-Strowger acted-as
housekeeper . The camp was supported
by the twelve hundred and thirty dollars
given by the Bryn Mawr students and
alumne. Two or three Bryn Mawr girls
helped entertain and care for the chil-
dren each week.

Miss Deems’ efficient management and
sympathetic understanding of people
made the vacation of real value to those
at camp. The Bryn Mawr helpers re-
turned to College enthusiastic over every-
thing at camp. Their work consisted of
| washing, dressing and feeding dozens of
| children, chaperoning girls to the
| movies, teaching swimming, and walking
j}and playing games with people of all
ages. Those who were at camp were:
I. Bering, ’14; I. Foster, 15; E. Dulles,
| 17; C. Sutch, "15; M. Jacobs, '15; R. Hop-
kinson, '15; F. Iddings, ’17; M. Dodd, '16;

DENBIGH FICTION LIBRARY TO BE
MANAGED BY A COMMITTEE



After a period of inactivity of five or
six years, the Denbigh Fiction Library
has been revived. The Fiction Library
was founded by Miss Donnelly with the
| object of providing the students with
| light fiction not contained in the main
| library, books which the students would
| wish to read, but might not care to buy.

| The Library now contains five hundred
volumes of the standard novels and of
| old and new fiction. A cemmittee com-
posed of G. Moses, librarian; L. Davidson,
D. Packard, M. O’Shea and T. Born, has
been appointed to suggest and select new
books. The committee expects to buy
new books at once and is ready to receive
suggestions from the members.

The dues for membership are fifty
| cents a year, or twenty-five cents a sem-
| ester. Those who belong to the Library
have the privilege of taking books for two
weeks, and of. naming one new book for
the Library. 4

During the last year “The News” oc-
casionally published photographs. These
were as a rule pictures of class-plays and
of formal groups, and were in every case
taken by a> professional photographer.
We feel that through publishing only
such pictures we neglected many of the
most important events of college. For
this reason we have decided to publish
snapshots taken by the students. The
pictures may be of any size and may

treat of any timely and appropriate sub-
ject. Fifty cents will be paid for any
picture accepted. Prints (not negatives)
must be given to one of the members of
“The News” editorial board before nine
o’clock on Monday of the week in which
they are to be used.

Last year at commencement those
whose work in college had been par-
ticularly excellent were graduated with
distinctions, “cum laude” and “summa
cum laude,” yet the great mass of the
graduating class received no special men-
tion. Might we propose that graduation
would be infinitely more interesting, if
Bome of the degrees were given “cum
lucky” and “summa cum lucky’?

CORRESPONDENCE COLUMN

(The editsrs do not hold themselves responsible
for opinions expressed in this column)

To the Editor of “The College News”:

For the past year I have read in your
correspondence column letters containing
excellent ideas and suggestions; but, to
my surprise, I have found that these
letters are for the most part unsigned,
or else signed with such frivolous
and fictitious names as “A. Tentive,” or
“I Deal.” Why is it that the writers so
obstinately refuse to sign their real
names? Surely they cannot be ashamed
of their ideas, for that would be contrary
to the principles of self-confidence and in-
dependence which the modern college
woman is supposed to represent. Might
I suggest that there is no reason why the
College should be kept in the dark as to
the authors of these letters. The sugges-
tions are in themselves excellent, and
there is a tang of mystery about them
that is not unpleasing to us, contempora-
ries of Sherlock Holmes. But is it not
taxing the reader’s versatility a little to
much to ask him to take seriously a sug-
gestion offered by A. Tentive or I. Deal?
Would not the suggestions have more
force and purpose if they seemed to come
from a fellow being ,a person of flesh
and blood, rather than a fantastic no-
body? I appeal to the readers of “The
News,” would not this humble suggestion
of mine carry more force and be more
interesting to them if I had signed my
real name to it instead of merely

Busy Body?



To the Editor of “The College News”:
What is the French Club? In the “Lan-

"for the past year its activities and.

its interests are mysteriously discussed.
Yet in the Christian Association Hand-
Book and in the list of clubs which you
published last week no mention is made
of it. Who are its members and what is
their “entente” with the French lan-
guage? Who is the “outsider” who may
be invited for tea and conversation?

There is room here at College for a
French Club. Let us hope that this valu-
able institution has not died during the
summer. ro

CHRISTIAN ‘ASSOCIATION RECEP-
TION TO THE ENTERING
STUDENTS.



President Thomas Thanked for Removal
of the Cut-Rule

President Thomas received with the

Christian Association Board at the recep-

tion for the entering students on Satur-
day night. In the receiving line with her
were Dr. and Mrs. Barton, Miss Applebee,
Agnes Smith, Margaret Russell, Mary
Branson, Adeline Werner, and the officers
of the Christian Association.

In welcoming the students, President |

Thomas spoke of the need of a Christian
Union in every large community, and of
the importance of making religion tell in
the daily life of the students. In this con-
nection she spoke of the differences she
had observed between religious sincerity
in America and Japan. She stressed the
fact that owing to the lack of Christianity
in Japan, religious feeling there seemed
impersonal and insincere.

Miss Russell, speaking for the Self-
Government Association, pointed out the
fact that self-government meant the gov-
ernment of each student, not by herself
alone, but by the opinion of the majority.

The College was like a German battle-
field during the canipaign for hockey ter-
ritory last year, according to Miss Bran-
son, who described the Athletic Associa-
tion. The generals led their forces so
successfully along the class fronts that
now the College is able to colonize the
territory with the Class of 1919.

Miss Barnicle spoke of the Graduate
Club as the “summum bonum” in the life
of every graduate student.

Miss Werner spoke of the importance
of the Undergraduate Association, defin-
ing its purpose as that of “arousing an in-
terest in the academic phase of student
life, and maintaining the high standard of
scholarship set by the authorities.” She
pointed out that in the Undergraduate As-
sociation, “questions affecting academic
phases of student life can be discussed by
all the students, and brought to the notice
of the faculty.” Miss Werner closed her
speech by saying:

“It is my wish this evening, in behalf
of the Undergraduate Association, to
thank President Thomas, the trustees,
and the members of the faculty, again for
the generous consideration they gave the
several petitions sent them by the Un-
dergraduate Association, and for the
present system regulating attendance. I
wish, furthermore, to assure President
Thomas that we, as the Undergraduate
Association, will do all in our power cor-
dially and continually to co-operate with
the President and the faculty in making
the present system a success, and that
we, as an association, will try to justify
the trust and confidence placed in us by
the authorities of the College.”

Miss Applebee’s speech dealt with the
unfortunate necessity of President’s hav-
ing to make their associations “fool
proof,” a necessity sometimes brought
about by the lack of thought of the
members.

Last of all, Miss Smith spoke of the
Christian Association, telling of its broad
basis, which gives an opportunity for all
to supply their fundamental needs of re-
ligious work and thought. The reception
closed with College songs, led by D. De-
neen. .

you to think and make up your mind
“about. - :

Pienldent Thomas ii to Home Affairs

And now let us turn from the great
war which has been absorbing so much
of our sympathy and demanding so much
of our active work to do even a little
toward alleviating its terrible suffering,
to Bryn Mawr College and our coming
year of study. I am sure that all our
former students have returned eager to
do their best work and that all our enter-
ing graduate students and Freshmen are
equally eager. You have here almost
ideal conditions. You have no outside
distractions except those you make for
yourself. You can command undisturbed
your whole time. After College you must
plan and work for quiet and leisure. Here
it is yours for four years. You can, if you
choose, avoid waste of power and friction.
Your only duties are to attend three lec-
tures daily to profit by them and to
study. Even your duties to the College
community are secondary. As a faculty
we expect you to attend your lectures and
do your College work. The older students
must help the younger in performing this
duty. The faculty also will help you and
the Senate will help you by sending away
students who do not appreciate the priv-
ilege of attending lectures and doing
work.

Arnold Bennett’s “Human Machine”

It is up to you to plan your days to the
best advantage. You alone in all the
world have all the time there is. In a
splendid little book by Arnold Bennett,
called “The Human Machine,” which I
think we might well take as our College
manual for this year, he tells us how to
harness that gentleman at large, our
brain, so as to make it serve us. He says
each of us has enough brain to do our
will. The thing is to manage it. “‘I
didn’t feel like stewing,’ says the young
man who, against his wish, will fail in
his examination. ‘The words were out of
my mouth before I knew it,’ says the hus-

band whose wife is a woman. ‘I couldn’t
get any inspiration to-day,’ says the
artist. ‘I can’t resist Stilton,’ says the
fellow who is dying of greed. ‘One can’t
help one’s thoughts,’ says the old war-
rior. And you will say to me: ‘My brain
is myself. How can I alter myself? I

was born like that.’._In_the first place,
you were not born ‘like that,’ you have
lapsed to that. And in the second place
your brain is not yourself. It is only a
part of yourself. The brain can be
trained, as the hand and eye can be
trained; it can be made as obedient as a
sporting dog, and by similar methods.”

Plan your time. Do not drift. Plan
your work in College. Do not take just
any course—take the right course. How
silly are the reasons for which some stu-
dents take College courses—“right time
of day’—“said to be easy’—‘“somebody I
know is going to take it.” Tighten the bit
on your brain. Make it do your will and
tell you what. course you really need.
Think what you may want to do or know
about after leaving College. Here at Bryn
Mawr older students tell younger stu-
dents: “Take required work, Latin, Eng-
lish and a science.” They never tell the
Freshman that if she begins in her
Freshman year on what she loves and
wishes to specialize in she will have the
joy of taking advanced work in it and
studying it for four years. We now give
the Bryn Mawr degree with distinction in
three grades ‘and we are thinking of giv-
ing the Bryn Mawr degree with honours
in special subjects which will mean hon-
ours in those studies in which post-major
work is taken for two years. I believe
this is a step in the right direction. There
is nothing I am surer of than that good
academic work in College affords excel-
lent reasons to believe that students will
do good work out of College. High grades
and honours in special subjects mean,
not only the power of continual attention,
than which nothing is more important,
but also intellectual ability. A great deal
ean be done by industry and devotion





alone, but a person who possesses intel-
lectual ability and industry and devotion,

is sure to become distinguished in life.
I believe that it is right to recognize this.

wonderful combination of qualities in
giving the Bryn Mawr degree.

I want to close by saying that it seems
to me, in looking back over the last year
or two of the College, especially over this
past year, that the College as a whole is
really attacking its problems in a very
encouraging way. I have never known
such deep interest on the part of the
faculty as a whole in the scholarly work
of the students, nor on the part of the
gtudents themselves in improving the
quality of their work. The College is
growing. It is trying to keep in touch
with present conditions. There is every
reason to believe that present and future
Bryn Mawr graduates may be as well
fitted to perform their tasks as our
Alumne of earlier years are performing
theirs. In this great work we need your
help.

DR. BARNES A ‘SURVIVOR OF ARABIC
Ea _ DISASTER. |

$

‘Dr. Penne. has just returned from a|
year’s leave of absence, with stirring tales
of his experiences in Europe. When.
on August 1, 1914, the gratis sheets an-
nounced in Berlin the Kaiser's. commané |.
to mobilize, Dr. Barnes, being. a British
subject and hence in danger of being in-
terned in Ge: in case ‘England de-
clared war, h honed to obtain’ hia pass-
port and left immediately for the French
frontier. On reaching Leipzig he was
warned that it would be practically im-
possible to get through to France, so he
returned to Berlin and set off in the other
direction for Holland. He reached Flush-
ing after 36 hours of travel on trains
packed to overflowing with English and
American.tourists. After an exciting pas-
sage across the Channel, during which a
gun-boat fired across the bow of the
s‘eamer, Dr; Barnes reached England the
very night that war was declared against
Germany and found excitement running
high in London. The following three
weeks he spent as a trooper in the King
Edward Horse.

He then left England and crossed the
Channel again to France hoping to meet
a friend at Havre and to be able to col-
lect war news for a Canadian newspaper.
As this was the time of the German drive
into France and people were flocking in
terror from: Paris, Dr. Barnes stayed at
Rouen which was used as a hospital base
for the British army. Here he found num-
bers of Belgian refugees from whom he
heard countless tales of the horrors of
war. He was in the Marne district after
the German army had passed, and was at

one time but five miles from the battle-

front. From Rouen he went to Paris
where he stayed only a short time, since
he found the city practically deserted
except for numerous war correspondents
who, though unable to reach the front,
were writing vivid tales of the battles. as
they saw them.

Dr. Barnes spent the winter in Eng-
land working in the Cavendish Labora-
tory at Cambridge, where X-ray work was
being done on wounded soldiers. Most of
the Cambridge scientists had been kept
back from the front and were working. in
the artillery and aeroplane factories per-.
fecting war machines. The latter part of
the winter Dr. Barnes spent at Man-

chester, where he worked for the govern- |

ment on secret submarine problems
under Professor Sir Ernest Rutherford.

In September it became necessary for
Dr. Barnes to return to Bryn Mawr. He
engaged his passage, never guessing that,
after having been already twice ship-
wrecked, he would shortly prove himsejf
the Jonah of the Arabic. When, at break-
fast the first day out, the Arabic was
struck amidships by a torpedo, the life-
boat in which Dr. Barnes escaped had just
enough time to free itself from the fell
ropes before the liner sank. From a dis-
tance of 15 yards Dr. Barnes watched the
great steamer of 16,000 tons raise its bow
high into the air and then slide down into
the sea, just seven minutes after it had
been struck. The survivors were left 100
miles from shore with nothing in sight
but the torpedoed Dunsley sinking, less
than a mile away. Through some mistake
there was no ship’s officer in Dr. Barnes’
boat, so that it proved necessary for him
to instruct the seamen that the boat
would sail best with the sail right side up.
Fortunately it was a warm, calm day, so
that the survivors incurred no hardships
during the four hour before they were
picked up. Dr. Barnes was taken back to
Queenstown and thence sailed safely to
America. His experience on the Arabic
has cost him the loss of his baggage, his
astro-physics notes, and all of the sou-
vyenirs which he picked up on the French
battlefields.
