THREE CUTS PER STUDENT,
AVERAGE



President Thomas ‘Congratulates

President Thomas congratulated the

students in Chapel on Monday, Novem- |
ber 22nd, on their good record of atten-
dance during the first third of the current |

year. She said: “Our statistics show

STUDENTS BUILDING MEMORIAL;
PROJECT OF UNDERGRADUATES



Alumnae Codperation to be Asked



That the long-hoped-for Students’
Building be erected as a. memorial to
Miss Garrett, was the sense of the under-
graduate meeting last Monday night.

The association voted to accept the
offer of codperation in regard to the me-
morial from the Philadelphia Branch of
the Alumne and to communicate to them
the desire that the memorial be the Stu-
dents’ Building.

To carry through the project, however,
it was decided that the help of the
alumnze must be had.

It was urged that such a memorial
would be more fitting to Miss Garrett be-

book room, or a Professor’s Chair.
$50,000 are needed to start work upon
the Students’ Building and $21,000 of this
have already been raised, but are in-
vested so as not to be available until the
whole sum is completed. $29,000, there-

fore, must now be raised to make the
| even fifty.

In speaking afterwards to “The News”
|reporter, President Werner said: ‘‘The
| Students’ Building is the thing most de-
|sired by the whole undergraduate body
/as a memorial and, if the alumnz co-
| dperate, the undergraduates will work for
‘it with the very greatest enthusiasm and
interest”.

President Werner spoke very seriously
to the association about the cutting in
the last month. She said that by such
illegitimate cutting the students were

SOCCER SEASON IN FULL SWING



Rock. Grovels to Radnor



Soccer affords great amusement even

to the uninitiated, and the true Boston-
ians who respectively call it “Socket”
and “Socca”. The College student seems
to be deficient in the art of kicking a
ball. In the games often kicks were de-

livered against the thin air when the.

ball was the intended target. Often the
players mistook each other for the ball;

head-on collisions resulted. The goal-|

keepers who had an uninterrupted view
of the field appreciated to the full the
awkard gestures and wild manceuvres
of the other participants in the game.
The scores for the games played before
“The News” went to print were:
Denbigh vs. Pembroke West,. 3-2.
Pembroke East vs. Merion, 2-1.
Radnor vs. Rockefeller, 4-0.
Schedule for next week:

Monday—Radnor vs. Pembroke Last, |

3.30.
Tuesday—Rockefeller vs. Merion, 3.30.
Wednesday—Radnor vs. Denbigh, 3.30;

/Pembroke West vs. Merion, 4.00.

Thursday—Denbigh vs. Rockefeller,

| 3.30.

Friday—-Pembroke LEast vs.

+ 3.30,

breaking their pledge—of last—-yearand-,

that, as a result of it, several of the pro-

fessors had already prophesied a perma- |

nent cut rule. A. Smith, President of the
Christian Association, proposed signing
pledges not to cut, but no motion was
made. H. Harris, Junior President, urged

the necessity of not cutting before plays. |

that 200 out of 365 undergraduate stu-|

dents have not cut at all. The average

number of cuts per student, if the same

ratio continues throughout the semester,

GREAT THINGS TO BE DONE IN
SETTLEMENT WORK

will not amount to more than three cuts.

per student. Ofcourse the 200 students

who do not cut at all will be responsible

for this very low average”.

“The result of our cut rule last year
was admirable, but if you continue to do
as well during the remainder of the sem-
ester the result this year will be still
more admirable”, President Thomas said
in emphasizing the importance of attend-
ing regularly “because we want to do it
rather than because we must do it”.

President Thomas urged the students.

not to be absent for any cause during
the first five days of the week and
stressed the importance of training in
“faithfulness in the performance of ob-
ligations” without which “mental ability
is of very little service”.

“I wish to close, however’, President |

Thomas said, “not with advice, however
timely, but with my sincerest congratula-
tions on your wonderful success in regu-
lating cutting during the first few weeks
of this year. As a result I am confident
that you are more interested in your col-
lege work. I am sure that the 200 stu-
dents who have not cut at all must feel
a peculiar glow of satisfaction. Most of
all I congratulate these students”.



“It is in our power to do tremendous
things” said Miss Davies, the head worker
of the Philadelphia College Settlement
House, in morning Chapel on Wednesday.
She regretted that the students can no
‘longer do settlement work in Philadel-
phia, but said that the work to be or-
ganized in Bryn Mawr village bids fair
to be very important both to the village
and the College. The value of such work
she pointed out in the story of a young
man she met at Hull House, who said
that the happiest day of his life had been
a picnic on the Bryn Mawr campus, when
he was a boy from the slums ‘df Phila-
delphia.

The separation of classes never more
serious than now she went on, must be
done away with by the distribution of
/material things and the spreading of
knowledge. The Settlement is a present
means to this end. These houses, or
rather groups of people are of great in-
fluence. The College Settlement in
Philadelphia is visited each week by
|from three to four thousand people of
the poorest and most ignorant classes.

E. GRANGER TO BE ON “NEWS”
BOARD



Plans for Other Competitions
As a result of the competition for 1917
E. Granger has been elected to the Edi-
torial Board of “The News”. A cut was
made several weeks ago among the com-
petitors and H. Allport, E. Granger, H.
Harris, and N. McFaden were left in.
Two more editors, one from 1918 and
one from 1919, will be chosen this year.
The competition for 1919 will begin next
week. An assistant business manager
from 1918 will also be elected in the
spring and one of the present assistant
business managers from 1917 will be
dropped. The one remaining will be
business manager next year.

MODEL SCHOOL GIVES LATIN PLAY





French Play by Younger Children

The twelve-year-old students in the
highest class of the Model School gave
“Pyramus and Thisbe” in Latin- on No-
vember 24th. The next class of eleven-
year-old students gave “Red Riding
Hood” in French.

Miss Swindler coached the Latin play.
The class has studied Latin only one year
for about sixty school periods with no
outside work. The children were told
to do the actions that the story sug-
gested and they explained in Latin, in
their own words, what they were doing.
They did not learn any set lines.
French play conducted on similar prin-
ciples was under the direction of Miss
Thayer.

A public performance of the two plays
will probably be given at Christmas time.

HEAD OF NEW YORK SETTLEMENT
HOUSE TO SPEAK



Miss Harriet M. Daniels, head of the
oldest settlement house in the United
States except Hull House, the College
Settlement in New York, will speak in
morning Chapel on Wednesday, Decem-

ber 8th. She was organizer and director

of a Social Center in Princeton like the

one which. is to bé started in Bryn Mawr.

ALMOST 3000 NEW VOLUMES IN

LIBRARY
|

}



The annual report of the College Li-
brary for the year ending September
30, 1915, has recently been compiled and
a brief summary of the work may be of
interest. During the year, 2,997 volumes
were added, of which 1,798 volumes were
purchased, 588 volumes were periodicals
| bound, 427 volumes were gifts, and the
remainder came from various sources.
The total number of volumes belonging
‘to the library at the beginning of the
| present academic year was 1,722.
| Besides cataloguing the new books
| which have been added to the library,
'the staff has been working on the re-
| cataloguing, and several long sets of

yerman works have been analyzed. In
_all 13,390 cards were made and added
to the main catalogue during the year.

_ Our circulation has been increasing

each year for the past few years until
it has reached 25,486 volumes. Of this
'total the students drew out 65 per cent,

the faculty 18 per cent, and 17 per cent

were placed in the Reserve Book Room
‘and in Seminary rooms. Unfortunately
| we have no way to keep a record of the
circulation of the reserve books in the
building, but as 4,333 were placed on re-
+ serve, we know a large number are used.

Besides the regular appropriation given
to the library for the purchase of’ books,
_ there were several gifts. The Bryn

Mawr Club of Washington gave $30.00
for the purchase of books for the new
book room; the class of 1911 gave $58.50
for the new book room in memory of
Isabel Buchanan, and several alumnz#
gave varying sums amounting to $39.99
for the new book room. As we depend
upon gifts for the support of the blue-
starred collection in the new book room
we appreciate all that is sent us. Other
_gifts, varying from one hundred to three
“hundred dollars each, were received from
the class of 1898, the Philadelphia
branch of the Alumne Association the
class of 1900, and the class of 1903.
Lois A. Reed, Librarian.



COURSES EFFICIENTLY ELECTED

Princeton has adopted a plan of hav-
ing the new professors each year give a
public lecture, previous to the time
eourses are elected and study cards made
out for a. following term, to explain to
all interested students the nature of the
courses they are to give and the amount
of work to be required in each instance.
It is hoped at Princeton that this scheme
will remedy the evils of the old system
whereby men elected courses at the
eleventh hour largely according to the
reputation the courses had among the
students.

RED CROSS BOX GOES TO POLAND



The Red Cross box for Poland has been
packed and shipped. The box contains
250 dozen sponges, 48 dozen bandages,
41 dozen compresses, 29 dozen handker-
chief-dressings, 5 slings, 3 mufflers, and
2 pairs of stockings. Except for the
muffiers and stockings, everything was
made in the non-resident room on Tues-
day nights. Four nights were given to
making the articles and one night to
packing them. The work this month is
for Belgium. Notices about the Dollar
Relief. Fund will be found on all the
hall bulletin boards.

“The News” Board heartily agrees with
the undergraduate that the Students’
Building is the most suitable memorial
for Miss Mary E. Garrett. An endowed
chair, the other alternative, would not
stand out as a distinctive memorial and
would benefit only a part of the student
body. There are already several scholar-
ships in Miss Garrett’s name which rep-
resent her interest in the academic side
of college life. Her enthusiasm for our
social activities and for the beauty of
the buildings was equally great. For this
reason and because the Students’ Build-
ing would be unique in its importance toa
the whole College, we ask the help of
the alumne.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

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

News Write-Ups Censured

To the Editor of “The College News”:

In an editorial published in “The
News” of November 11th, the Board ex-
pressed its determination to change the
tone of its criticisms of plays this year.
Heretofore something has been found in
all the plays to praise, and the unpraise-
worthy has—usually been lightly passed
over, or as has usually been the case, has
been omitted entirely in the write-up lest
someone's feelings should be hurt. This
year, as I have gathered from the above
mentioned editorial, ‘The News” intends
to criticize plays for their true value, “to |
weigh the good qualities and the bad so
that we may give a fair estimate of the
whole.” Surely “The News” is to be)
commended for this determination. But
I would suggest if the two recent play |

write-ups are samples of the result of |
add a|
dramatic critic to its staff, or at least use|
a little more discrimination and good |

this intention, that “The News”

judgment in its criticisms.

The write-up of Banner Show was, on
the whole, good. A very glaring tech-
nical fault, however, was committed in
the amount of space taken up in ad-
versely criticizing the plot. In the first
place, a Banner Show is not supposed to

have any plot, and in the second place, |

whatever difficulty there might have been

in following the none too definite actions |
of the players, was clearly explained in |

the programs. The critic very obviously
had not read a program.
But in the write-up of the Sophomore

Play, it seems to me the critic showed |
neither dramatic intelligence nor a sense |

of proportion. She neither praised what
was good nor condemned what was not
good. In all opinions but that of “The
News” it was Virginia Kneeland to whom
the palm belonged. Hers was the one
piece of brilliant acting in the play. She
showed a thorough intelligence in and
-@asy adaptation to, a very difficult part.

Her personality was dominating and she |

held the stage every minute she was on
it. Yet our critic gave her a brief half

sentence and said she “cleverly portrayed
her part”.

less‘ good, and many of whose scenes
dragged for lack of spontaneity, she de-
voted a whole paragraph of eulogy. To
say that F. Richmond was “one of the
most amusing characters in the play”,
tells absolutely nothing. Would it not be
fairer to mention the intelligence she
showed in acting, and the comedy she got
out of a part entirely unsuited to her?
Mary Allen was not mentioned and I have
as yet found no one who does not agree
that she was the best and most comic of
the students. Nor was notice taken of
the careless enunciation of many of the
actors and the general slowness in pick-
ing up cues.

As far as the undergraduates are con-
cerned, a correct or false criticism of a
play can make no material difference, for
everyone who sees the plays forms her
own opinion. But for the alumne and
others whose only idea of plays given
here at College is obtained from write-ups
in “The College News”, should not “The
News” attempt to give the general opin-
ion of the College as a whole rather than
the personal opinion of a few editors, es-
pecially when that opinion, as in this last
case, has proved so inadequate?

Helen Marie Harris, ‘17.



To the Editor of “The College News”:
Is interest in hockey lacking this year
or has the intelligence of “The News”
reporters failed them? Or how else can
we account for the sudden slump in the
reports of hockey games? Last year you
gave us snappy pointed accounts of the
games and criticisms of the players. They
were written with a vim and an enthu-
siasm that showed that the reporter en-
joyed hockey and had an accurate knowl-
edge of the game. Compare with these
the lukewarm, spiritless, vague, articles
in the recent numbers of “The News”.
How vividly illuminating is this: “The
ball continually went up the field and
down again”, (vol. 2, No. 9), or again:
“Most of the goals were made by the
forwards following into the goal’, (how
extraordinary!). In flashes of inspira- |
tion the reporters say three distinct |
times in one article that no goal was
made. Now “we hold these truths to

STUDENTS SPEAKERS, NOT
THINKERS



Colleges Lack Intellectual Stimulus



“It is possible for a student to graduate
from almost any college without an orig-
inal idea in his head”, says President Wil-
liam T. Foster, of Reed College, in an
article, “Vicarious Thinking’, in a re-
cent issue of “The Nation”.

Mr. Foster deplores the fact that in the
modern university thinking by the stu-
dent is neither required nor encouraged.
All over America, he says, students: show
a marked lack of power to think things
out logically and clearly for themselves.
“They have acquired fluency of speech
without the habit of thought”.

If a student is asked to write on a cer-
tain subject, says Mr. Foster, he does not
draw his conclusions from his own rea-
soning, but depends on books or else on
the opinion of some other person. Dr.
Foster says: “Even the thesis required of
a candidate for a degree of Doctor of
Philosophy, which is supposed to be orig-
inal work, does not always reveal original
thinking”’.

It is the great fault of the modern col-
lege, Dr. Foster points out, that it does
not give sufficient intellectual stimulus to
its students. He says that if a student
gives back to his professors what has
been given to him by them and by text-
books, he is allowed to graduate. “Too
much thinking is done for college stu-
dents by tutors and lecturers and writers
of text-books”’, Dr. Foster says. He
maintains that college courses should ne-
cessitate less memorizing and more rea-
soning, and that thinking should be made
a compulsory course.

THE COLLEGE NEWS



DR. SAVAGE SPEAKS IN CHAPEL |



Tells How to Improve College Dramatics.

‘Dr. Savage > spoke © in Chapel on the

morning before the Thanksgiving recess:

about the Sophomore play, and suggested
two means of improving college dra-
matics. About the Sophomore play he
said, “This play, if indicative of the
standard of dramatics at Bryn Mawr Col-
lege, is worthy of sincere compliment
from every person who saw it”. He
mentioned the drawback of the tempor-
arily erected stage, on which workmen
were engaged during part of the rehear-
sals, and the technical difficulties of the
play itself, but said that in spite of these
troubles the play was a success and went
smoothly.

“It occurs to me”, said Dr. Savage,
“that there are certain ways in which
dramatics at Bryn Mawr could be im-
proved, keeping that spontaneity and
pleasure so necessary to amateur work.
The first of these ways is a somewhat
better systematization of rehearsals. Fu-
ture classes may well consider the early
making provision for rehearsals so that
the whole cast need not be kept waiting
two hours while only a few members are
rehearsing. In the second place it seems
to me possible to distribute to some de-
gree the measure of work which falls on
the individual players. The wonder to
me was, that in the midst of grilling re-
hearsals these students should be able
to do all the things necessary to assure
the success of an amateur performance”.

Cc. Pond Indiana State ‘Eugenics Worker.

Clara Pond, 1913, is employed as field |
worker in heredity and eugenics in the
northern Indiana hospifal at Logans-
port, Indiana. In order to secure this
position she tdok a six weeks’ training-
course given by Dr. Davenport at the
Marine Biological Laboratory at Cold
Spring Harbor, Long Island. During
the past year her work has been the
gathering of statistics concerning the
patients at this hospital for family his-
tory reports. She says, “During ten
months, in the case of every patient’s
family with whom the investigation has
started, the inevitableness of the inheri-
tance of mental peculiarities, as well of
those physical has manifested itself. In
nearly all the families, people have been
studied, who will presumably one day
be committed, if they live, to a hospital
for the insane”.

sists of lectures on the inheritance of

Trips are made to the reformatories for
boys and girls, and to other institutions

in the neighborhood, and clinics are held

and lectures given by ane, on men-

About her life in the hospital Miss
Pond says: “Where I am I arrange my
work and hours to suit myself, entirely.
I visit patients in the wards when I wish,
and make field trips when and where I
think best, rendering an account of
travelling and hotel expenses, once a

month, for which I am reimbursed by |
