UNDERGRADUATE MEETING SET-
TLES MANY MATTERS

Red Cross Work to Be Continued





At a meeting of the Undergraduate As-
sociation on Wednesday night many mat-
ters of general interest were decided upon
by the students. Before any motions were
brought up for discussion, Miss Werner.
read the present rule concerning attend-
ance at lectures and explained carefully
the responsibility placed by it on the in-
dividual student. Red Cross work, Lost |
and Found, Parade Night, Concerts and
other subjects were also discussed.

It was voted to continue the Red Cross
work of last year on a more systematic
basis, and to charge admission to all class
plays again this year. The entrance fee
will be ten cents.

Lost and Found is also to be more sys-
tematised. In order to assure a better
business foundation for the bureau there
will be a regular salary in connection
with the position. Formerly the student
in charge received the returns from the
lost articles and the Undergraduate
Association had to make up the defi-
cit; now the receipts will go directly into
the treasury and the salary will be fixed.

In view of the growing importance of
the Denbigh Fiction Library, the salary
for the librarian is to be increased from
fifteen to twenty dollars a year. Dr. Sav-
age is assisting the committee in charge;
and already several new books have been
bought. :

The Concert Committee reported plans
for four concerts to be given during
the year if the pledges of the students are
sufficient to insure financial success.

Parade Night Discussed
After much discussion about parade
night, a sense of the meeting was taken
that the Sophomores should not write a

less they secure the tune or words before
the band begins to play under the arch.
Suggestions for other rules were with-
drawn when it was pointed out that there
was an unwritten law that the Sopho-
mores could employ any means to dis-
cover the Freshman song, except going
to the Freshman class meeting

Telegram Sent to Vassar
At a second meeting of the Undergradu-



ate Association held on Thursday night it
was decided to send a telegram to Vassar |
wishing the students good luck for their |
anniversary celebration and during the

entire year. The celebration now being | buildings for administrative purposes, |

held at Vassar is in honor of the fiftieth
anniversary of the college. There is to
be a conference on undergraduate prob- |
lems at which delegates from other col-
leges will discuss improvements and poli-

'eies in student activities. x

COURSE IN ENGLISH FICTION TO |
BE GIVEN IN THE SEC-
OND SEMESTER

During the second semester Mr. ont
age, of the English Department, will offer
a new five-hour major course, which will
deal with English fiction of the 19th Cen-
tury. The main emphasis of the work
will be thrown upon reading, although
problems in research will receive some at-
tention. Among the topics to be covered
are the Elizabethan novelle and novels
and their relation to later English fiction;
the antecedents of the 19th Century
novel, romance and short-story; and the



be given to picaresque fiction and to the
detective story, and some account may be
taken of foreign relationships. If oppor-
tunity offers, the art of narrative poetry
may be discussed in the light of its rela-
tion to prose.

FIRST VARSITY PRACTISE



Players Promising—Teamwork Poor



Last Friday a squad of thirty hockey
players turned out for the first Varsity
practise of the year. Only about eight of

them were regulars, but much of the new

material is promising. 1919 was well
represented by M. Peacock, A. Stiles, and
M. Tyler. M. Peacock is a Rosemary
star and M. Tyler an All-Philadelphian.
G. Hearne, 1919, bids fair to be as good as
her sisters, F. Hearne, 1910, and A.
Hearne, 1913. G. Flanagan, 1918, was a
find at halfback. She has always played
fullback and her headwork in the new
position astonished even Miss Applebee.
The Juniors showed their usual heavy
hitting. M. Branson distinguished her-
self for the Seniors.

However, although the standard for in-
dividual work was high, the teamwork
was very poor and the offense so weak
that the Varsity Committee intends to
make decided changes in the forward tine
before another practise. Time and again
the fullbacks had it all their own way
and possible goals were missed. The
prospect of scoring seemed to upset the
attacking line.

After the practise M. Branson talked
briefly on the value of keeping training.
The penalty for breaking training, she
said, would be dismissal from the squad
and the loss of a chance for a B.M.

The next Varsity practise will be to-
morrow, and the first game will be played
against Lansdowne on Saturday.

NEW WOMENS’ COLLEGE OPENED



Connecticut College has 125 Students.

The Connecticut College for Women at
New London, Connecticut, opened on
Saturday, October 9th, with exercises
over which President Frederick H. Sykes,
formerly a professor in Columbia Univer-
sity presided. The Governor of Connecti-

cut, Marcus H. Holcomb, was present at |

the exercises.
The first class, numbering about 125,
has already been enrolled. A group of

lectures, and dormitories has been com-
pleted. ~The college begins with an en-
dowment of $1,500,000.

Josephine Sutton, who was a graduate |

student here last year, is secretary to
the President, and Miss Proctor, formerly
Junior Bursar, is Director of Residences
at the College of Connecticut.

CANDY SALE FOR SUFFRAGE
CAMPAIGN.



An appeal for help has been made to
the Bryn Mawr Equal Suffrage Chapter by
the Women of Pennsylvania. Money is

‘needed in order to send them help, and

to pay for a fife and drum corps to lead
the Bryn Mawr delegates in the torch
light parade on October 22d. There will
be a candy sale Thursday and Friday In

'presented the League with one hundred

RECORD WEDNESDAY EVENING
MEETING



New plans for the mid-week meeting
of the Christian Association were an-
nounced at the first meeting held in the
C. A. Room in the Library last Wednes-
day. There were seventy-six members
present. Margaret Bacon, '18, who has
charge of the meetings this year, has ar
ranged a series of discussions on modern
religious problems that are of vital in-
terest. One great improvement over last -
year’s plans is that each leader will make
out alist of short daily Bible readings
which will lead up to the next Wednesday's
topic. This will enable those who are inter-
ested to give the subject on hand a little
forethought.

Miss Applebee, opening the discussion,
spoke of religion as the source of life, in
that God Himself is Life and Energy, as
the source of Life. She spoke of the
abounding energy and power that comes
from consciousness of union with Christ,
byt emphasized the fact that both in com-
munities and in individuals this con-
sciousness is in proportion to the. fulfill-
ment of Christ’s command to follow him
and share daily with him in his work of
bringing the Kingdom of God on earth.

Helen Zimmerman, '17, has charge of
the Bible reading slips, and will distribute
them at each meeting. They can also be
obtained from her room in Rockefeller.

HOW DOTH THE LITTLE BUSY BEE

In the spring of 1914, Dorothy Wolf,
Bryn Mawr 1912, asked the students of
Bryn Mawr to keep an account of every
minute of their time in order that she
might use the statistics thus obtained
for a thesis which she was then writing.
For the purpose of making it easier for
the students to keep these accounts, she
had special forms printed which were
filled out and collected from each student
every evening. The results of her in-
vestigations are as follows:

‘Act of Maron 3. 1879"







As the result of 1918's competition for
the editorial board of “The News,”
Marion O'Connor has been elected to the
board. The work from 1918 was on the
whole unusually good and the writing
very careful. But in general the com-
petition lacked originality both in the
choice and in the treatment of subjects.
The editorials written were rather too
obvious. In writing-up college events all
of the competitors but Miss O’Connor
chose as their subjects either the Oral-
Singing or the results of the Orals, sub-
jects which gave little scope for origin-
ality or for interesting treatment.

A second competition for 1918 will be
held tater in the year.

This year’s enrollment of American col-
lege students shows a large increase over
that of the past. Yale and Harvard have
larger entering classes than usual, Smith
College has reached a total enrollment
of 1708 students, and Columbia, now the
largest university in the world, has nearly
20,000 students. This growth in colleges
and universities is due chiefly to the fact

that many who would otherwise study
abroad must stay inthis country and_in
part to the growing appreciation of the
power gained by college training. Bryn
Mawr, limited by the requirement of
residence on the campus, remains prac-
tically the same in size from year to year.
This means that no great influx of enter-
ing students necessitates violent readjust-
ments of college rules and traditions, and
that no preponderance of the under
classes overwhelms those conservative
tendencies which exist. However, it is
reasonable to assume that the entering
students selected by examination are from
a larger group of girls every year and
from those more eager to secure the
benefits of a college education With this
in mind the student body should raise its
standards of scholarship from year to
year to keep pace with the growing ap-
preciation of learning throughout the
country. Since college development is
made simpler by the stability of numbers,
its development should be all the more
sure.

One of the best features of the Eagles
Mere Conference was the opportunity for
discussing with the speakers, questions
raised during the lectures.
this, the Religious Meetings Committee
has decided to give the college a similar
opportunity for discussion by arranging
that the ministers, whenever possible,
shall hold informal meetings after the
Sunday evening service. Such informal
talks will be of interest to those who
take part in the discussions and much
benefit. may be derived from knowledge
of the views held by the leading relig-
ious thinkers of the day.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORS

'| (The editsrs do not hold themse ia veapeit onaible|

Jor opinions expressed in this column)



The French Club.

To the Editor of “The College News”:

In reply to the numerous inquiries
about the French Club, I wish to say
that it has been the custom for many
years for the president for the current
year to choose the president for the com-
ing year. Thus the presidency has been
handed down, each year to that member
of the club considered most competent to
fill the position for the coming year.

The French Club has no charter. It
has been customary for the president to
hold an initiation each year to which she
invited all students whom she considered
to have the ability to speak fluent French.
From this group she selected those who
spoke the best and were willing to speak
at the meetings. The club has not been
formed to allow the members of majo
and post major classes to improve their
accents or to learn to speak French. It
has been formed to give to those who
already speak good French an opportun-
ity to meet and discuss topics of current
interest. The club is not a training class
for faltering speakers; it does not wish
for its members those who have obtained
high grades in French classes but who
for the most part cannot speak fluent
French.

It will be formed along the customary
lines this year, and no one who is not
able and willing to speak fluent French
will be admitted.

Mildred Buckner McCay.

Secretary of the French Club for the
year 1914-1915.

Oct. 12, 1915.

Self-Government Spirit

To the Editor of “The College News”:

The following extract from a letter
written by a former President to the Stu-
dent Government Association of another
college for women at the opening of the
year seems to me to state the case so
excellently that I venture to send it to
“The News” for the members of our
Bryn Mawr Association to read:

“You wouldn’t want any other kind of
government than student government—
and yet you can never have student gov-
ernment—that is, self-government, until
every one of you pitches in with all her
might and main to make it. And don’t
think you’re giving up your own pleasure
for a set of red-tape rules that nearly give
you brain fever when you first read them;
you're really making everything happier
and safer for yourself and your neighbor.
And if you came to college expecting ta,
get big ideals and to mold your character
into the best sort of person you were ever
meant to be, then here’s one of the big-
gest ideals in the wide world, masquerad-
ing under loyalty to an association, an
Executive Board and a book of rules—it’s

RL. Fashions



the true Christian ideal of learning to |
live not for your own convenience, but |
for the convenience and progress of the
whole community where you are. If)
you're able to see just that thing, and to |
say once in a while, “I could do that thing |
alone, but we can’t all do it, so I won't |
do it,” then I’m not worried about the
prospect of a Student Government run

by a few faithful souls who have seen the SMART HATS SUITABLE FOR |

vision, and evaded by everybody else.

In view .of | But you must all promise to do that, or it |

won't work—and, oh, it must work. Stu-|
dent Government can't fail at this stage,
because it has too many loyal hearts back |
of it, and too many willing hands have
worked hard for it during all its exist-
ence. If everybody who has worked for |
it in the past loves it as I do, I can cay |
truly, “Shield it, love it, nourish it, for it
is dear to many.” It’s a trust that has
been handed down to you. Don't fail us.”-
Ruth Perkins.

COLUMBIA ENROLLMENT LEADS

UNIVERSITIES OF THE WORLD

With an enrollment of twenty thousand
students this year, Columbia leads all the
universities of the world. This includes
the students in the new extension work
among the ignorant, especially the immi-
grants, of lower New York. Before the
war the University of Berlin was a near
rival of Columbia, but the impossibility
of study abroad has greatly increased the
size of nearly all the American colleges.

PICTURES PRESENTED TO CHRIS-
TIAN ASSOCIATION





Two pictures have been given the Chris-
tian Association and may be seen in the
Library. One sent by Miss Wiggins, is a
picture of Mr. Roswell Bates, formerly
the pastor of the Spring Street Church,
New York, well known to many at Bryn
Mawr. The other is a picture of Mr.
Tonomoura’s mission in Japan, given by
Miss Hartshorne.

CHANGE IN TENNIS TOUR-
NAMENTS



Tennis Tournaments, both doubles and
singles, will be played this fall instead
of having the doubles in the spring. The
singles will begin on Monday, October
18th. “The reasons for this change are
that the Captains and Board think it bet-
ter to have all the tennis in the fall, when
players are in better practice, and when
there is only one other sport going on.
E. B. Kirk has been elected captain for
1916 and R. Fordyce manager. M. Thomp-
son, captain for 1917, and D. Kuhn, cap
tain for 1918, were elected last spring

DR. SAUTELLE PREACHES ON DIS-
COVERIES IN RELIGION

Dr. William Sautelle, of Troy, New
York preached in Chapel on Sunday
evening, on personal discoveries in
religion. The first hymn of the service
Was sung as a recessional and the choir
marched to the places from the back of.
the room.

In outlining the subject, Dr. Sautelle |

spoke of the great experiences through |
which men have discovered God, stress-
ing especially David’s conception of the
great Shepherd. Everyone, he said must
work out from his own experience the
fundamental truths which the prophets |
and teachers of the past have handed |
down. David, in his long nights on the
Judean hillsides, came to realize that his
God must have a love infinitely more
watchful than his own in his care of his
sheep; John through his intimate experi-
ence of Christ’s love gained his great
conception of the redeeming love of God.
So it was with an old life guard on the
Cape God coast, as Dr. Sautelle described
him. He had discarded the religion of
his parents but in his long night walks
along the coast he became convinced
that there must be some supreme cause
ordering the wonderful workings of the
universe. As he worked out his ideas
according to his scanty knowledge, he
reasoned that this Power must care even

been





than for all the forces of nature.

LOST AND FOUND

“Lost and Found” has extended its
domain in the basement of Taylor Hall
over a few additional shelves and
drawers. There, will be found the proper
place for all lost articles which will
eventually reach the proper owners, as
the articles are to be carefully clas-
sified and no one will be permitted
to disturb, the order of the arrangement.
Between half past one and half past
two, the only time when lost articles may
be claimed, the “bureau” expects to do a
thriving business. The reforms instituted
are expected to make “Lost and Found”
of real value to the College community.
