PHILA. DEFEATS VARSITY—3-2



The Varsity defeat on Saturday by the
Philadelphia Cricket Club proved again
that the weakness of the team lies in the
forward line. The game was a contest be-
tween the defenses, and a good forward
line would have clinched the result for
either team. Through the greater part
of the first half Varsity maintained the
defensive, but the forwards made poor
use of the chance to score. The wings at-
tempted long runs when the speed of
their opponents called for sharp passing.
The passing of the whole line was slow
and the shooting fatally inaccurate. The
result was that Philadelphia, with far
fewer opportunities, shot the same num-
ber of goals and the half ended with a
tie score—Varsity 2, Philadelphia 2. In
the second half the weakness of the Var-
sity line told on the strength of the half-
backs. They were unable to recover all
mistakes and the ball soon went to Phila-
delphia. S. Hood shot the winning goal.
There was no more scoring and neither
team was able to keep on the offensive.



Philadelphia’s defense consisted in send-
ing the ball out at the side instead of |
down the field and the resulting |
dragged out the game. The game ended:
Philadelphia 3, Varsity 2.

SINGING EXCELLENT ON Sere
NIGHT



Lantern Night was particularly impres-
sive this year because of the fine weather
and because of the good singing of the
Sophomores and Freshmen. The Fresh-
men especially are to be congratulated on
their success in accomplishing the diffi-
cult task of keeping time and pitch the
same along the whole of their unusually
long line. 1918’s singing of Pallas Athene,
led by C. Eastwick and M. Mackenzie,
was remarkably sure,

Translation of Pallas Athene £

“Pallas Athene, thea”, the song which
the Sophomores have sung on Lantern
Night since 1901, is the Class Song of
1893. The words were written by Made-
line Vaughan Abbott and by Bertha
Haven Putnam. They have been trans-
lated as follows:

Pallas Athene, goddess,

Thou maiden wise and mighty,

We come to thee, Athene,

Imploring thee to hearken.
Oh, hearken!

We pray thee smile upon us,

Impart to us thy wisdom,

Abide with us forever,

Thou blessed goddess, hearken.
Oh, hearken!

O set our torches burning,

And turn thy beams upon us,

Thy light upon our pathway,

Kindle the night to brightness.
Oh, hearken!

ABBREVIATED GOWNS



The Freshman gowns distributed om

Thursday were found to be from two to |

six inches too short... The gowns should
be six inches from the ground. Some
were’ exchanged, some were altered, but
many had to be sent back. As a result
of this mistake many of the Freshmen
have not yet gowns and had to borrow
them for Lantern Night.

Cc. A. BUDGET APPROVED



The Christian Association approved of
the budget suggested by the board in a
meeting on November ist. According to
this budget, which appeared in “The
News” last week, fourteen hundred dol-
lars is to be raised by pledges. Each item
was voted on separately, but there was
little discussion. The money to be sent
to Mr. Tonomura will pay the last of the
pledge of a thousand dollars made in

1910. The budget stands, in the main, as |

ESTABLISHES NEW DEPART-
MENT

“TI p”



“Impressions” Replace “College Convic-
tions”

The “Tipyn o’ Bob” has established a
new department, “Impressions, whose
aim and scope is described in an editorial
in the issue for November Ist: ‘The let-
ters which formerly figured as ‘College
Convictions’ will be absorbed into these
more general ‘Impressions’, but it is
hoped that this broader term may in-
clude a variety of literary reactions
whose name shall be also legion. The
‘high-lights’, which were the quest of a
past Daily Themes class; the mutterings
of the ‘Vox Populi’; local satire—any-
thing which has claimed the literary at-
tention of ‘Tip’s’ writers has a place in
the new department”.

“Impressions” in this issue contains a
letter on the subject of debating, as a
“vanishing art’, and an account of Pa-
rade Night entitled, “The Spirit of War’.

1917 WINS TENNIS DOUBLES



1917 and 1918 played off the final ten-
nis doubles on Thursday. 1917 won all
three matches. The playing was not as
close as might be expected in finals. 1918
did good individual playing, but its team-
work did not come up to that of 1917.
The scores were:

FRATERNITIES MISSED AT BARNARD



Dean Gildersleeve, of Barnard, who ad-
vocated the abolition of the fraternities
at Barnard two years ago, admits in her
report for this year that it is difficult to
find an adequate substitute for them. As
a preliminary to the abolition of fraterni- .
ties it was decided two years ago that
they could take in no new members for
a period of three years. It is stated that
there are now few opportunities for
friendship and that some social unit must
be substituted for the secret society.

“Contrary to the expectation of the fac-
ulty,” says Dean Gildersleeve, “no new or-
ganizations have grown up to take the
place of the fraternities; nor has there
been any noticeable increase of interest
in the departmental clubs and other ex-
isting organiaztions. The omission of
the fraternities has brought a blessed
relief from the agitation of ‘rushing’ and
‘pledge day’ and from some undesirable
forms of gossip.

“On the other hand, the lack of some
such social organization makes close ac-
quaintance between the students of dif-
ferent classes less frequent and results
in fewer opportunities for informal so-
cial intercourse and congenial friendship.
The administrative office admits that
there is also noticeable some lack of that
beneficial influence of older students on
younger.”

The organization, she decides, which is
to take the place of the fraternities must
be a natural outgrowth of the student
body and not artificially fostered by the
office.

ama Act of March 3, 1879



We are told that when the man who
sent the Freshman gowns was questioned
as to the cause of their shortness he re-
plied, “All gowns are worn short this
year”. Thus we see the effect of fashion
on everything. Even the formerly digni-
fied academic gown has become tinged
with the spirit of the smock. Each year
will bring new changes. There will. be
hobble gowns and hoop-gowns, empire
gowns and princesse gowns. Future gen-
erations may find this a relief from mo-
notony. For us old conservatives it is, to
say the least, a shock.

To most of us it is a surprise that Dean
Gildersleeve of Barnard should mention
in her annual report any ill effects result-
ing from the abolition of secret societies.
In the close intimacy of dormitory life we
do not realize what an important place
such organizations may fill, and the idea
of the exclusiveness which necessarily ac-
companies fraternities is repugnant to
us. Yet in a college like Barnard, where
a majority of the student-body is non-
resident it is easily conceivable that ‘‘the
lack of some such social organization
makes close acquaintance between stu-
dents. of different classes less frequent
and results in fewer opportunities for in-
formal social intercourse and congenial
friendship”. We feel that Barnard would
take a long backward step in reéstablish-
ing any system of secret societies, yet we
watch with interest to see how the prob-
lem of their substitutes may be solved.
Perhaps the new Students’ Building,
which is soon to be begun, will aid in the
solution through furnishing a place of
work and recreation for the College as a
whole.

Class Spirit Run Riot

To the Editor of “The College News”:
“Class spirit” is venting itself this year
in contests in enthusiasm. Not content
with rivaling each other in athletics, the
different classes are bent now on outyell-
ing each other. Clapping, too, has be-
come a serious business; proficiency in it
demands training just as skill in dribbling
does. One must also cultivate an expres-
sion of ecstasy to be assumed while one’s
sister class sings its Junior Song. For,
on the intensity of this ecstasy and on the
loudness of the subsequent applause de-
pends the standing of the spirit of the
class. At least so the classes seem to
think, or rather, they seem to have
jumped to such a conclusion. For, waiv-
ing the question as to whether enthusi-
asm is a valid test of class spirit, can any
one really believe that this sort of thing
is enthusiasm? Enthusiasm must be
spontaneous. It is a vivid feeling and
must often, especially when shared by a
crowd, have a lively outlet. There is no
objection to this. The noisy kind of en-
thusiasm aroused by a close water-polo
game is the finest thing in the world.
That is because it is genuine. It is real
enthusiasm. Organized uproar is not.
Deafened.



Red Cross Committee

To the Editor of “The College News”:
There is. hardly any need of putting
before the College the hideous want of
all the countries struggling in Europe—
Poland devastated by two hostile armies,
Belgium in greater need than ever as
money and supplies from this country de-

crease, and, far above all, the sufferings |

of the Armenians. Those who have not
been murdered bythe Turks are starving
and in exile, and the most fortunate of
them, penniless and homeless, have been
transported to Egypt with some hope of
being allowed to exist if only money
enough and supplies enough can be got-
ten for them. The need is stupendous.
We all realize that. But what we do not
realize is that every little effort on our
part is needed, no matter how little we
may be able to do. The Red Cross Com-
mittee begs the students to come to the
Red Cross Shop on Tuesday evenings.
Come and roll bandages with your best
friend. Come and fold dressings. Come
if you are curious. Come to offer sugges-
tions and complaints. Come if its only
for fifteen minutes, but come and help

which she had done among the students change was a great surprise to most of ' ; t Philadelphia
eorammoninonniocscsinianatrae

of Geneva last year and particularly of
the effect of the war on the life of the
students. The “Foyer’ in Geneva Miss
Davis described as a sort of club which
gives the students their only opportunity
to meet one another outside of classes,
bringing them together to study the
Bible.

‘She told of the relief work that has
been begun on account of the hardships
which the war has caused. The members
of the faculty and the citizens, she said,
of Geneva are helping in the work. The
“Foyer” organized classes in dressmaking,
which made clothes for needy students
and sewed for the Red Cross. It also
served free suppers and arranged for
large Sunday evening meetings at which
the discussions often became so heated
that the students jumped on chairs to
make themselves heard. Miss Davis her-
self led a Bible class in which the gospel
of St. Luke was studied simply as an au-

tobiography; this study, however, con-
verted one girl, a Russian Jewess, to
Christianity.

Miss Davis then told of the conference
held in the spring at which letters were
read from soldiers in every army, who all
Said that it was killing them morally to
fight, that they could not reconcile duty
to God and to their country, but that they
kept on fighting because they would not
be traitors. At this meeting representa-
tives of all denominations and beliefs,
even of the Koptic church in Egypt, came
out publicly for Christianity.

SMITH ADOPTS THE GROUP SYSTEM



ene Smith College hes de —siPla)—te : its ens ella ty

lum -so that more specialization is re-
quired. At least one course in every de-
partment is open to all underclassmen, so
that they may choose a major subject.
As upperclassmen they must continue the
subject they have chosen, as their major,

- combining with it a year of a subject as

their minor. In addition, a “distributive”
course is required totally different from
the subjects chosen as majors. There
cannot be as much specialization at
Smith as at Bryn Mawr since more sub-
jects are required, but the changes make
the Smith arrangement come under the
group system. :

FIRE GONG DISTURBS FACULTY RE-
CEPTION :



Short Circuit Causes Excitement

Considerable excitement was caused at
the faculty reception to the graduate
students, held in Denbigh on _ Sat-
urday night, by the ringing of the fire
gong. The guests were hesitating
whether to leave the building or to await
further developments, when students be-
gan to assemble with dripping towels.
The first lieutenant, however, who was
taking the place of the fire captain, an-
nounced that it was a false alarm and
the reception continued, although conver-
sation was rendered difficult by the un-
interrupted ringing of the gong. A me-
chanic summoned from the power house
to stop the ringing said that the cause of
the alarm was a short circuit.

HARVARD VOTERS TRIED

Thirty undergraduates of Harvard have
been summoned before the jury because
of their voting as “self-supporting”. The
students are of age, so the question to be
decided is whether or not they are en-
tirely self-supporting. As a result of the
trial the question of what self-support is
may be partially answered.
