Money is given to a secretary, who
works among the students of Geneva, a
great many of whom are Russians,
Greeks and Poles, in great poverty. This
secretary by her aid and friendship saves
them often from utter despair and degra-
dation.

Miss Tsuda is given one hundred dol-
lars towards support of a school for girls
in Tokio. Miss Tsuda herself was a Bryn
Mawr student. :

Mr. Tonomura has a dispensary in the
worst slums of Tokio. He treats hun-
dreds of extremely poor people and at the
same time carries on evangelistic work.

The amount given to Dr. Grenfell sup-
ports a child’s cot. Mrs. Grenfell was
Bryn Mawr, ’06.

The work of the Vacation Bible School,
of Bates Camp and of the Eagles Mere,
has been explained in former issues of
“The News”.

PHILANTHROPIC WORK EXPLAINED
AT PARTY



One hundred and thirty garments made
during the summer furnished a striking
example of the kind of Christian Associa-
tion work described at the Philanthropic
Party given in the Gymnasium on Satur-
day night. Dancing began at eight, when
the first people arrived, and continued,
with a half-hour intermission for
speeches until ten o’clock. The speeches
were by Miss Dulles on the work and
plans of the Settlement and Hospitals
Committee, Miss L. T. Smith on Sewing
Committee, and Miss Applebee on Junk.

‘HISTORY OF LANTERN NIGHT OUT-
LINED



The custom of. giving lanterns to the
entering class dates almost as far back
as the opening of Bryn Mawr. At first
there was no regular Lantern Night cere-
mony; the presentation of lanterns was
merely a part of Sophomore play. Mrs.
Richard Francis (Louise Congdon, ’00)
gives an account of its origin and devel-
opment in an “Alumne Quarterly”:

“In the autumn of 1886”, she says,
“when °89, who had held the campus
alone for a year, wished to welcome ap-
propriately the Class of '90, they decided
to give a play. It was no elaborate affair
like the Sophomore plays of to-day, but a
farce, full of local color and college jokes,
planned, written, and rehearsed in a few
days. At the close of the play, the Sopho-
mores gave to each Freshman a lantern,
as emblematic of the bright light which
would guide the inexperienced newcomer
through the perilous maze of the already
established College traditions.

“This custom was continued without
change except that the plays became each
year a little more elaborate, and each
year were planned for a little further
ahead, until the autumn of 1897, when ’00
presented ‘As You Like It’. It was given
under-the maples inthe afternoon, and
the presentation of lanterns in broad day-
light would have been obviously inappro-
priate. At the time it was considered a
serious objection to presenting the play
in the afternoon. But the Sophomores

00 | decided to put a brave face on the matter

and choose an entirely different night for
the lantern-giving. They chose the night
when the Freshmen first received their
caps and gowns; ’00 wrote a special song
for the occasion, and so did ’01; and the
Freshmen were ignorant of the fact that
a tradition had been broken. The experi-
ment was a great success. The Sopho-
mores marched from Pembroke, each
carrying her own lantern and another.
Near the beautiful old poplar, on the site
of the present library, ’00 and ’01 sang to
one another, and gave and received lan-
terns, little knowing that they were es-
tablishing a new and charming precedent.
The next year, ’01 made a further change
by singing, beside their new lantern song,
‘Pallas Athene Thea.’ From that day to
this the only radical innovation has been
to change the place of the ceremony from
the campus to the cloister.”

Since 1909, only one more important
change has been made. In 1914, instead
of writing a new song, '17 sang ’08’s class
song. And just as “Pallas Athene” be-
came the traditional song for the Sopho-
mores, “Over the Way to the Sacred
Shrine” has become the traditional song
for the Freshmen at Lantern Night.

1918 WINS SINGLES CHAMPIONSHIP



1918’s tennis team won the singles
championship from 1917 last Thursday.
Neither team played the swift net game
which makes a tennis match exciting.
The only close match, between M. Thomp-
son and M. Stair, was not finished on ac-
cournt‘of darkness. The scores were:
ee SN

M. Stair vs. M. Thompson, 4-6, 6-4, (un-
finished).

Second Team Tennis

While the Juniors were losing first
team finals on the Upper Courts, they
were winning second team finals on the
Lower Courts. They defeated the Fresh-
men in two out of the three matches.
The scores were: -



T. Smith ve. R. Chadbourne, 6-2, 6-0.
C. ve M. Tyler, 60, 6-2.

VASSAR CELEBRATION DESCRIBED



“The News” has been able to obtain
reports of Vassar’s Fiftieth Anniversary
celebration from three sources. Miss
Daw, an alumna of Vassar and a graduate
student here this year, has written an
account. of the pageant, President
Thomas in Chapel told of some of the
speeches, and three Vassar undergradu-
ates, students under Miss Helen Sandison
(Bryn Mawr, 1906), have written a letter
describing the undergraduate conference.

In regard to the pageant Miss Daw
says:

“I believe that the celebration of Vas-
sar’s Fiftieth Anniversary quickened in
many people the consciousness of certain
things that often remained ‘hidden in the
light of thought’. It opened an illumi-
nated perspective on educational evolu-
tion, and it objectified the unity and pur-
pose of all genuine teaching and scholar-
ship. It raised our consciousness of these
things to the height, I think, of a group
emotion.

“The solution offered by President Mac-
Cracken for the modern educational prob-
lem was illustrated in many phases of the
semi-centennial, but perhaps no other
feature did wider service in translating
his vision into concrete terms than the
students’ pageant. This presented a
series of scenes illustrating the part
taken by women in the intellectual life of
the world. The action took place in the
out-of-door theatre, against a background
of shadowy green pines through which
one caught glimpses of the lake and wind-
ing hill path beyond. A group of veiled
maidens, votaries of Athena, invoke the
goddess; she appears and tells of her
web that ‘weaving shall be ever, never



done’. Then the screed unrolls. The

14th, gave an account of the formal ad-
dresses which were made at the inaugu-
ration celebration. She mentioned first
the “wise and witty” address of Professor
George Lyman Kittredge, of Harvard, on
the subject of “The Scholar and the
Pedant”, and the romantic speech of Dr. |
John Huston Finley, who is now head of
the New York State system of education.
Of the inauguration speech of President
MacCracken she said that he emphasized
“the supreme difficulties that meet the
teacher in interesting the students of
colleges of liberal arts even although a
few years later these same idle stu-
dents will slave in professional schools
of law, medicine, and engineering and
in their daily business. He used the
pronoun ‘he’ throughout instead of ‘she.’
We inferred that he was using ‘he’
as including ‘she’, but he did not say
so. He illustrated the problem before
liberal college by the following speech
made to him by a student who had failed
in an examination as from one gentleman
to another: ‘Professor, I am very sorry
you did not succeed in getting me through
your examination. I know it gives you
a black eye in the president’s office when
one of your students fail’. I wondered if
he had not again confused his genders
and if the remark had not been made by
a Smith College lady to a_ gentleman
Smith professor. President MacCracken
stated the difficulties of a liberal educa-
tion very forcibly, but he did not attempt
to solve them—an attempt which would
have been of supreme interest to his au-
dience. I judged from his address that he
did not approve of turning Vassar into a
vocational college. President Taylor has
stood like rock for twenty-five years for
the liberal education of Vassar students.
He has refused to put into the Vassar

admirably in the final scene, where amid
the dignified splendor of the University of |
Padua, Lucrezia Cornaro is questioned by |
the learned doctors and her achievement
is honored in the ceremony that admits |
her to their fellowship. The Paduan |
school boys cheer and toss their caps, |
and follow the solemn procession, caroll-
ing Gaudeamus igitur. Then after a
pause the strain is heard from another
direction, and a band of Vassar students,
marching four abreast, pass befgre

practised in college”.

President. Thomas said that President
Mary E. Wooley, of Mount Holyoke Col-
lege, Mary Lyon’s old seminary, spoke as
was fitting for the colleges for women.
Dean Virginia Gildersleeve, of Barnard
College, spoke for the affiliated colleges
“and contrasted the wedded bliss of

| Barnard, Radcliffe and other affiliated

colleges with the single blessedness of
Vassar, Bryn Mawr, and other women’s
colleges”. Professor Arthur T. Hadley,
of Yale, brought congratulations to Vas-
sar from men’s universities.

Besides these addresses President
Thomas gave a second-hand report of an
address made on the second day of the
celebration by Mrs. Emily James Putnam,
a Bryn Mawr graduate of the Class of
1889, who is now Associate of History in
Barnard, as follows:

“TI will give it to you as it was repeated
to me by a conservative Vassar Trustee
who had listened to it, as I gathered, with
some anxiety. I was told that she said
that women would have to work out their

|}own salvation by sweat and blood, that

no ballot would help them if they con-

‘tinued to be in the future as they are

now, weak, sentimental, inefficient, eco-

| nomically dependent persons; that women
imust first of all
| dress, that no woman who respected her-

reform their silly
self ought to wear ear-rings, which are
the mark of the cave woman; that women
must give up the detestable, ridiculous

thought that she wished them to go into
trousers at once. There is no doubt

The publishing of the Christian Asso-
ciation Budget in ‘The News” gives an
opportunity to all to make up their minds
at leisure about the justice of the gifts
made. If it seems that too large a sum
is given to a cause no longer in need of
so much, or that the proportions of the
gifts are wrong, there will be a chance to
reconsider these proportions before the
meeting and to rearrange them at the

tant that everyone should decide for her-
self where she wishes her money to go.
Therefore let everyone consider the Bud-
get now, when it may still be changed,
instead of finding fault afterward when
it is too late to mend.

At the first meeting of the Athletic As-
sociation for this year it was decided to
offer a prize for a new athletic song.
Since that time at least twenty-five songs
have been written in College for various
class purposes yet no one has been inter-
ested enough to write a single verse
which the College as a whole could sing.
The same indifference to College songs
has shown itself lately in another form.
At Senior singing the “Glory of Bryn
Mawr” has come to be sung in a desultory
fashion by early comers in order to fill
time, and the first notes of “Thou Gra-
cious Inspiration” furnish the signal for
the loud and hasty exit of the impatient.

Perhaps this matter of College songs
may seem trivial, but when singing of
class songs plays such a large part as it
does at Bryn Mawr such indifference can
mean only one thing—the lamentable pre-

dominance of class spirit over College |

SUFFRAGE PARADE IN PHILADEL-
PHIA.



About thirty of the College Faculty
and Staff and a number of Graduate
Students marched in the Suffrage parade
on Friday night. The college division
was headed by Dora Keen, ’96, on horse-
back. Mildred Justice, 1915, carried the
Bryn Mawr banner. The fife and drum
corps, which was paid for by the candy-
sales in the book-shop, accompanied the
division. Various leagues were repre-
sented; the Socialists with whom Miss
Dimon walked, wore red bands. The
nurses were picturesque in their uniforms,
and a delegation from defeated New Jer-
sey was greeted with enthusiasm. All
those who marched carried black and yel-
low lanterns, the public buildings were
decorated with lights and flags, the
streets were crowded with spectators. It
was felt that the parade did much for the
cause of suffrage.

After the parade there was a meeting
in the Academy at which there were
speeches by George Creel, Dr. Katherine
Davis, Norman Hapgood, and others.

VASSAR CELEBRATION DESCRIBED
_ (Continued from Page 1) .

about the necessity of different clothes |

for business women. Our present dress
is not adapted to an active life of affairs.
My Trustee understood her to say:
Women must learn to protect themselves;
that every woman must learn to shoot
straight and must carry her pistol openly,
as concealed weapons are against the
law; that in the next war, if there ever
were another war, there must be a splen-
did force of trained women soldiers; that
for every regiment of men at the front
there must fight beside it an equally well-
equipped regiment of women. She then
spoke about the economic independence
of women as an absolute necessity if
women were to have any freedom of
thought and action—but_here my Trustee
disapproved too much to quote further.
I gathered, however, that the immemorial
calm of the academic pond had been con-
siderably disturbed by the rush of a new
radicalism that must have made the cry
of “votes for women”, so feared by Vas-
sar’s former president, seem singularly
innocent by comparison. Indeed, when
President MacCracken said in his inau-
gural address that he had been inducted
into his presidential responsibilities the
day before by having to sit on a platform
between conservatism on one side and
radicalism on the other, he clearly meant
that he had to act as an impartial presid-
ing officer between President Taylor on
his right hand and Mrs. Putnam on his
left hand. Some of us who heard him
say this wondered whether a mere man
president of a woman’s college could rea-
sonably be expected to keep in sympathy
with the changes in women’s ideals of life
and thought which will take place during
the next few years.

.Undergraduate Conference

The following letter gives an account
of the discussions held at the undergrad-
uate conference:

A feature of Vassar’s Fiftieth Anni-
versary celebration especially interesting
to the student body was the intercollegi-
ate conference for the discussion of non-
academic activities.

The first session opened with a speech
by Miss Taylor, of Vassar. She traced
the gradual growth of these activities
from the early college days, when a stu-
dent was allowed no distraction from his
academic work, to the present day, when
students and faculty no longer regard
such work as detrimental, but as neces-
sary for the rounding out of the student’s
education.

Then followed a discussion of types of
extra-curriculum activities. An interest-
ing and clear description of the Wellesley
Tree Day, of which an elaborate celebra-
tion is given once in four years by the
entire college, was presented by Welles-
ley’s delegate.

Harvard’s Dramatic Society, founded
and carried on under the direction of Pro-
fessor Baker, is interesting because of its
unique features. Only those plays which
have been written by Harvard students
are presented. In this way the talent of
many of the well-known playwrights of
to-day has been fostered.

In discussing publication, “The Daily”
at Yale and “The Weekly and Monthly”
at Smith were explained by their respect-
ive representatives. Both speakers em-
phasized the business training in the man-
agement of such publications, and the
Smith delegate emphasized in addition
the literary stimulus received from such
work.

The Williams “Good Government Club”
is of great practical value in affording op-
portunity for the study of social condi-
tions of the neighboring towns and in al-
lowing the students to participate in so-
cial improvements.

Students’ self-government at Barnard
has proved very satisfactory, but the
honor system has not yet reached that
state of efficiency which the students de-
sire. The question, “Is it wise to have
students report cheating?” was raised.



Great interest was shown in this and the

general feeling seemed to be that student,

| reporting. was necessary if public opinion
in the college was not strong enougit to |'

prevent cheating.
The ideal function of these activities
was presented in three well-correlated

speeches which agreed that such activi-

ties to a certain limit at least, were con-
sistent with the function of a college, and,
if wisely selected, were a preparation for
life,

A subject which aroused much interest
and was supported by arguments in favor |°"
of each side was that of coaching in such
activities as dramatics and debate. Stu-
dent coaching promotes initiative and re-
sourcefulness among the students, but
does not produce a finished result and is
unjust to the student coaches in not af-
fording them the benefit of superior
knowledge and advice. On the other
hand, professional coaching often fur-
nishes new inspiration and an outside
point of view, though in some cases it
has proved detrimental to the other inter-
ests of the college. Faculty co-operation
was strongly urged because of the benefit
received by both faculty and students
from more intimate contact with each
other. Remuneration to student coaches
for the time given to this work, though
considered only just, was thought an in-
dividual matter.

The basis of membership in the student
organizations differs in the various col-
leges. The representative from Amherst
showed that membership there is a mat-
ter of paying an athletic tax which is sim-
ilar to an income tax. At Cornell the
basis of membership is competition. In
Wellesley membership in the social so-
cieties is based upon scholarship and per-
sonal. accomplishment. The Princeton
club system, the Princeton representative
said, has proved successful, but not en-
tirely satisfactory.

“Academic Credit for Non-Academic
Activities” brought forth opposite opin-
ions. One speaker felt strongly that

some forms of non-academic work, news-

paper reporting, for example, were equal
in educational value and superior in prac-
tical training to the work in regular
courses, and should therefore receive aca-
demic credit. The speaker following felt
that if academic credit were given for
such activities this work would largely
be substituted for regular academic stud-
ies and the particular opportunities of-
fered only in college would thereby be
lost. The opinion of the other speakers
was that in view of what a college degree
stood for, it would not be wise to extend
academic credit to non-academic work.
The conference, we feel, was most grat-

ifying in its results. The exchange of
views with regard to the merits and
faults of the various systems employed
in the different colleges will, we hope,
prove valuable in working out individual
problems, and we trust that as a result of
co-operation in such matters each college
has received a stimulus for work in the
future.
