ENDOWMENT MORE POPULAR WITH
ALUMNZ THAN STUDENTS’
BUILDING



Suggest Possibility of Both



At the meeting of the Undergraduate
Association on Thursday, December 16th,
President Werner gave the arguments of
the Finance Committee of the Alumnz
in favour of endowing a Professor’s Chair
as a memorial for Miss Garrett. The
alumne feel that an increase in pro-
fessors’ salaries is a pressing need. An-
other endowed chair would mean that the
money formerly going to the professor
who receives the chair will be released
and added to the other salaries; hence it
would be a benefit to all the professors,
associate professors and readers. Every
year class collections are taken among
the alumne to add to the Endowment
Fund, which goes toward the establish-
ment of a new chair. With these class
collections and reunion gifts the alumnz
have collected $29,149. With $75,000 a
chair can be endowed; $50,000 is needed
to start the Students’ Building. The
alumne@ suggest as a possible plan that
the undergraduates co-operate with them
in raising $125,000, which sum will be
sufficient for both the chair and the
Students’ Building.

Miss Werner explained the point of |
view of the Alumngw Finance Committee. |

She said, “The alumnz asked to have

brought before the Undergraduate Asso-—

ciation the importance of endowing an-
other chair. It would be a very appropri-

ate memorial, as Miss Garrett showed |
her interest in the intellectual side of |

College, more than in any other side, by

giving scholarships and fellowships, and

constantly contributing to the endow-

ment fund. The alumna feel that they |

ean raise more money for this more im-

portant cause, but as the Students’ Build-

ing is the memorial most desired by the
undergraduates the Finance Committee
suggests the possibility of co-operation

‘to raise a sum large enough to cover the |

" expenses of both the chair and the Stu-
dents’ Building”.

MANY ALUMNA SENT TO
WOMAN SUFFRAGE CONVENTION



President Thomas Honored



The annual convention of the National
Woman Suffrage Association was held in
Washington from Tuesday, December
14th to Saturday, December 18th. Thirty-
five delegates of the College Equal Suf-
frage League were present. Dean Reilly
represented Bryn Mawr.

Business sessions of. the association
were held every day, at which reports of
this year’s campaign and plans for future
campaigns were discussed. Dr. Anna.

for the last twelve years, resigned in or-
der to have more time for public speak-
ing. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, who has
been head of the New York State Woman
Suffrage Party, was elected in her place.
Dr. Shaw was unanimously made Hono-
rary President of the Association to be
a member of the Executive Board.

At a meeting of the delegates on Fri-
day $50,000 for next year’s budget were
pledged in one afternoon. Twenty-five
dollars were pledged “in honor of the
women alumnz of Cornell, and in honor
of their most distinguished. member, who
has done so much for the cause, President
M. Carey Thomas.” Twenty-five dollars
were also pledged in honor of the Bryn
Mawr alumne.

On Saturday the College Equal Suffrage
League held its business meeting, at)
whic: President Tho presided. Mrs.
Howes, executive secretary of the College
League, gave her report. She said that
twenty chapters of the league now exist
in the various colleges for women, and
that special effort is to be made to in-
crease this number. The league, she said,
wishes to furnish two speakers annually
to each of its chapters.

After the meeting a luncheon for about
two hundred was given, at which Presi-
dent Thomas was the toastmistress and
Dean Reilly spoke. Dr. Shaw was the
guest of honor.

Among the Bryn Mawr alumne who
were present were: Mrs. Susan Walker
Fitzgerald, ’93, retiring recording secre-
tary; Mrs. Mary Foulke Morrison, '99,
elected in her place; Mrs. Cora Hardy
Jarrett, 98; Mrs. Ella Sealy Newell, '99;
Jean Crawford, '02; Alice Miller, ’14; Isa-
bel Miller, "11; Laura Delano, ’14; Anna
Stearns, "11; Helen Emerson, ‘11; Mrs.
Katrina Ely Tiffany, '97; Mrs. Frances
Fincke Hand, '98; Mrs. Helen Annan |
Scribner, "91; Mrs. Alice Field Newkirk, |
graduate student, '11-'12; Violet Foster, |
02; Marion Reilly, ’01.



TRAVELING CHAPERONS





The appointment of two traveling chap-
erons, to take charge of special parties of
girl students and young women traveling |
'alone over the railroad, was announced
'on December 30th by the Baltimore and |
Ohio. The chaperons, it is stated, will be |
of valuable assistance in imparting infor-
‘mation as to points of interest, arrang-
ing for tickets, hotel accommodations, |
baggage transfers, and other details of
travel, all of which arrangements will be |
| made with the codperation and approval |
of the school authorities. The new ap-
| pointees are the wives of agents of the
Baltimore and Ohio and are experienced
travelers.

It is the plan of the B. & O. to retain
‘the traveling chaperons permanently in
-the passenger department organization.

FABIAN SOCIETY DEBATES



Dr. De Laguna, on Impromptu Speaking,
at Bryn Mawr



Speaking in Chapel on December 17th,
Dr. de Laguna said:

“T believe that the finest thing I saw in
an English university was a meeting of
the Fabian Society at Oxford. This so-
ciety is socialistic in its origin; but that
fact had no bearing upon the meeting to
which I refer. There was a debate on the
question:

Resolved, That England is largely re-
sponsible for the present war.

An eminent Cambridge scholar, Mr.
Bertrand Russell, who had come over for
the occasion, opened for the affirmative,
and a fellow of one of the Oxford colleges
replied. After the opening speeches,
members of the society, graduate and un-
dergraduate, took part, not in any set
order, and not on sides to which they had
been assigned in advance, but freely and
according to their convictions. As each
speaker finished, there were always three
or four ready and eager to begin. Finally,
Mr. Russell was called upon to close the
debate.

It was by all odds the best impromptu
debating that I ever heard. The speaking
was excellent, and the discussion showed
hard and fearless thinking. I was particu-
larly struck by the number, of young men
who spoke for the affirmative. It seemed
to me that it showed an admirable jnde-
pendence of thought, to take that side at
such a time and in such a place.

I have been wondering whether it
would not be possible to found a similar
organization here—an organization for
the free discussion of questions of great
public or collegiate interest. Such an or-
ganization would, I suppose, include un-
dergraduate and graduate students, and
possibly also women of the faculty and
administrative staff of the college—all, of
course, on terms of perfect equality.
executive committee would choose the
questions for discussion and secure the
principal speakers. These would be per-
sons who were known to take a deep in-
terest in the questions.
business or professional men from Phila-
delphia and other nearby cities, or poli-
ticians or writers or teachers. In case of
matters of local concern, they would
naturally be members of our own College
—often enough undergraduate students.
Meetings would be held three or four
times a term. Those who joined the so-
ciety would do so, not with the expecta-
tion of being silent partners—for all mem-
bers of the College would, as a general

‘rule, be admitted to the debates—but to

take active part in the discussions as

(often as they felt they had anything to

say.

It seems to me that such an organiza-
tion would do a good deal for Bryn Mawr
College, or for any American college—
vastly more than any of our ordinary de-
bating societies”.

IS EIGHT-HOUR DAY TOO LONG?



1917 to Debate



Resolved, That an eight-hour day of in-
tellectual work is too long for a college
student, will bé the subject of 1917's de
bate on Wednesday, January 12th, at
8.30 p. m., in room F, Taylor Hall.

The affirmative will be taken by D.
Shipley and probably M. Willett, and the
negative will be taken by V. Litchfield
and M. Scattergood. The captain of

1917's team this year is D. Shipley.

INNOVATION IN GYM CONTEST



Unprepared Drill New Feature



The plans for the usual Gymnasium
Contest between the Sophomore and
‘Freshman classes have been somewhat
changed this year. Instead of having a
drill in free movements set beforehand
and memorized by the class, one of the
judges, Dr. Carl Schrader, of the Harvard
University Gymnasium, will put them
through a free movement drill. The
classes will be judged for their physical
ability, responsiveness to commands, at-
tention and concentration.
will be drilled alone, that is, while the
Sophomores are being drilled the Fresh-
men will be sent from the room so that
drill will be entirely new to them also.

Apparatus work is also on a slightly
different basis this year. Each class has
1st, 2nd, and 3rd team Captains and Man-
agers, who will manage the work for the
day in the gym classes, each team work-
ing as a division. The exercises for the
contest will be arranged and selected by
the class Captains.

A club drill and folk dancing will, as
usual, be a part of the contest.

The Gymnasium leaders for this year
are: 1918, Apparatus, M. McKenzie;
Clubs, L. T. Smith; Drill, K. Holliday;
Dancing, D. Kuhn; General Supervisor, R.

Cheney.

1919: Apparatus, A. Stiles; Clubs, H.
Johnson. The others have not yet been
chosen.

QUIET HOURS TO BE ENFORCED



No Motion Made for Abolition

Self-Government Meeting on Thursday,
December 16th, and as no motion was

There can be no doubt that debating
as it was last year was a failure. A large
proportion of those who did it were in-
fluenced less by any pleasure in it or by
any desire to learn to speak in public than
by constant appeals to class loyalty. This
year, although a few trial debates have
been held, there is a complete apathy
toward them, which shows that the Col-
lege as a whole is only too willing to let
the Debating Club die. The account
which Dr. de Laguna has given of the
Fabian Society at Oxford suggests an
organization which, following the start
already made by the History Club, might
give us an opportunity to learn how to
express our opinions without the painful
formality of rules of debating.





Since we at College are limited to only
a few courses and since by the group sys-
tem the most of our work in these few
courses has to be in one direction only,
why can not the various clubs be used
to give us a broader field of thought? In
most of the clubs a student can not be-
come a member unless she is taking or
has taken a course in that particular sub-
ject, so that club discussion simply sup-
plements class work. It would not of
course be fair to club members who pay
dues to allow their meetiigs to be open
to non-members, who would thus derive
all the benefit of the meeting without sup-
porting it. But could not the broader cul-
ture and interest in current events, which
the clubs are intended to foster, be ob-
_ tained by not restricting membership in
a club to those students studying that |
particular subject but by leaving it open
to those who cared to join?

Letter from Madame Cons

THE COLLEGE NEWS

poor fellows who have no one to take an
interest, a personal interest in them, are
very forlorn and d@ownhearted. You have |
no idea how much good a sympathetic
letter may do in eheeting up a homesick |
soldier at the front. Mamy, if not all,
Bryn Mawr students or alumnee can write
French readily, and I should be so glad if
I could find marraines for my soldiers
among them. I have lists and lists of
men who are poor and worthy of sympa-
thy and who would be grateful to anyone
who would take the trouble to write to
them. I wonder if you would mind put-
ting an appeal in the College publications.
The first letters may be sent to me to be
forwarded to the soldiers. I will at once
reply to each marraine, giving her the
name and address of her filleul. Mails go
very slowly, so it would be best for the
marraines not to wait for an answer be-
fore writing the second or even the third
letter. If after five or six weeks no reply
has been received I should be notified and
I will assign another soldier to the mar-
raine. Packages (of knitted garments,
etc.) should be sent through me and ad-
dressed as follows:

Madame Louis Cons,
36 rue Geoffroy-St. Hilaire,
Paris France.
Care of Miss Gladys Hollingsworth,
Pier 57, North River, New York.

I keep a note of the soldiers assigned
to each person, and will forward all pack-
ages without delay. This will be safer
than sending direct to the front and there
will be no duty to pay. Hatables should
be carefully chosen to stand the trip, or
better still if the marraine will send me
the money and indicate her wishes, I shall
be only too glad to send the desired arti-
cles to her soldier. I do hope that Bryn
Mawr students will respond to this ap-
peal. It is a kind thing to do, and the
correspondence may prove very interest-
ing—a “souvenir” of the war.

Next, I want to beg for old kid gloves,
long or short, white preferred, though we
can use any color but black. We are us-
ing them to line woollen vests for the
soldiers. This makes a light and inex-
pensive garment, which is very warm
and above all protects from the dampness.
May I ask you to post a request on the
bulletin boards that the girls save their



old gloves for me?

One more thing—I know that I am a |
dreadful beggar, but where the need is so |
great I must not hesitate to beg—the Bel- |
gian soldiers are in great need of socks, |
and they are all in flat country, where the |
trenches fill with water. If they cannot |
change frequently their feet freeze and |
too often gangrene sets in and they must

Merry Crowd Hears Songs and Recita-
tions

Over sixty people gathered around the
Christmas tree in the Gymnasium to re-
ceive stockings at the Christmas party,
which was given by the Christian Asso-
ciation for the maids and porters. The
party began with a carol by the choir and
closed with a song by Radnor, with an ac-
companiment on the guitar by the porter.
In the course of the evening there were
many recitations and songs. Among the
most popular of these were “Roll, Jordan,
Roll’, by a sextette from Pembroke, and
a solo on the mandolin by the porter from
Pembroke East.

One of the features of the evening was
a boxing contest. M. Scattergood as
Jinx, and E. Heminway as Jingo, his mon-
key, won much laughter and applause as
they boxed together. Fancy dancing in
costume was done by J. Ridlon and E.
Atherton, and J. Ridlon gave a solo, Rus-
| sian Bride dance.

EMILY GREEN BALCH PREDICTS
WOMEN WILL BE DRUG ON MARKET



Emily Green Balch, Bryn Mawr, ’89,
Professor of Political Economy and Po-
litical and Social Science at Wellesley
and a delegate to the recent Woman’s
Peace Conference at the Hague, pre-
sented a paper last week at the meeting
of the American Sociological Society in
Washington on the effect of the war upon,
the status of women. Dr. Balch stated |
that one of the effects of the war would
be to make women “a drug on the mar-
ket”.

“Men will return”, said Professor
Balch, “not only with importance en-
hanced by the glory of the battlefield but
with a scarcity value. A second and con-
flicting effect is that women, being more
necessary, become more important in-
stead of less. A third effect will be a
great increase of unmarried women. An-
other result is that there is forming under
our eyes a new sex—international. Some- |
one has said, ‘If the brotherhood of man
had grown as much in the last two cen-|
turies as the sisterhood of woman has
grown in the last two decades, this war
would not have occurred’ ”.

WOMEN AS CONDUCTORS



Women are being employed as tram-car
conductors in London and they are hence-
forth to be paid the same wages as men,
five shillings a day, besides a war bonus
of three shillings a week. The women)

CLUBS SHOW HOPEFUL FUTURE



“History Club Discusses Foreign Trade



On Thursday, December 16th, an infor-
mal meeting of the History Club was held
in Pembroke East sitting-room, at which
Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Dr. Leake, Dr. Fen-
wick, and Dr. Grey discussed foreign
trade. Mrs. Smith discussed the new
International Company to promote foreign
trade, our past system of banking abroad,
and the new system begun by this
company. Mr. Smith took up the ques-
tion of the merchant marine. He said
that, in his opinion, the normal state
of affairs for the next generation weuld
be war, and that therefore we must have
a merchant marine; and he showed that
there are but two ways of obtaining one,
by subsidies or by Government ownership.
Mr. Fenwick proposed the question
whether trade competition between na-
tions can be regulated by international
courts or by national agreement and left
it open to general discussion. Dr. Leake
and Dr. Grey did not speak formally as
the time was too short.

Miss Riegel, the president of the club,
plans to have these informal meetings
every six weeks during the next semester
to discuss topics of current interest. At
the open meeting some time in the spring,
Mr. Hazen will speak.

Philosophy Club to Meet January 10th

The Philosophy Club is active also. Dr.
De Laguna is to speak on January 10th
at a meeting of the club for members
only, and next semester either Mrs. De
Laguna or Dr. Avey will speak at such

club, has, however, arranged for an open
meeting in the spring, for which about
t¥o hundred invitations will be sent out,
and at which Dr. Creighton of Cornell
will speak.

Dr. Brown Addresses English Club

The English Club, of whieh Miss Has-
kell is president, met December 8th, when
Dr. Brown spoke. Since 1911 he has been
working on a register of medigwval re-
ligious and didactic poetry in HEngland
and Scotland, later expecting to take up
that of the continent, and he told the club
about this work. Miss Haskell has as yet
made no plans for next semester, though
she expects to have an open meeting some
time in the spring, to which the faculty
are invited and the students taking minor
or major English or elective courses in
writing.





ARMY COURSE AT HARVARD

Harvard has officially enlisted in the
movement for preparedness, and a course
in military science will be added to the
curriculum next semester. The instruc-
tion will be in the hands of regular army
officers, including Major-General Wood
and Captain Hastead Dorey. All mem-
bers of the class will be required to take
the Government correspondence course
in military tactics, and this training will
be supplemented by military drill. Twelve
hundred students have already responded



to the call for candidates issued by a spe-
cial committee of undergraduates headed |
by Archie Roosevelt.

DINNER TOO EXPENSIVE

The Harvard football dinner, including |
the gold footballs given to the team, cost |
$4.50 a plate. W.N. Crane, Harvard, ‘02,
protests, saying in part:

DOLLS AND STOCKINGS ARRIVE SAFE



College Helps Spring Street Christmas



Five large suit-cases full of dolls,
dresses and Christmas stockings were
taken to Spring Street immediately after
the close of College on the afternoon of
December 21st. The last stage of the
journey from Bryn Mawr was safely ac-
complished under the convoy of some
small boys with a push cart who led the
way down the middle of the street to the
“Neighborhood House”. Everyone at
Spring Street seemed busy with Christ-
mas preparations. The nursery was
livelier than usual; there was a candy-
pull going on in one room, and a trimmed
Christmas treé in another. The dozens
of stockings full of toys and dolls from
Bryn Mawr, which had been the care of
many porters during their transportation,
were unbroken and were gladly received
by the workers at Spring Street.

AN EXHIBIT OF ORGANIZED CHARITY



Daily. meetings of the “Society for Or-
ganized Charity”, at the Widener Build-
ing, Chestnut and Juniper Streets, at 2.30
and at 4.00, from January 5th to 15th,
are open to the public. These meetings
are to be addressed by prominent speak-
ers on the relation of the society to the
other charity and social works of the
community. The exhibit will be open
from 9.00 a. m. to 7 p. m.

JOURNALISM CLUB AT BARNARD

Barnard students attending the Pulit-
zer School of Journalism have recently
formed The Barnard Associated Press
Club. This organization is distinct from
the Barnard Press Club, whose members
are College correspondents for the New
York newspapers and young women al-
ready doing special feature work all over
the East. Both men and women promi-
nent in journalistic circles will be asked
to speak informally to the club, and stu-
dents doing newspaper work will tell of
their experiences.

TUTORING BARRED—EARNINGS
LESS

Harvard undergraduates to the number |
of 589. added $90,000 to their incomes last |

year by employment obtained through the
Harvard Students’ Employment Bureau.
The total shows a decrease of $17,000
over the earnings of the previous year.
The decrease is said to be due to the
action of the faculty in forbidding under-

graduates from tutoring during the col-|

lege term.
