ARE YOU A FIRST-CLASS SWIMMER?



Swimming Captains Point

System

Propose



A new plan for gaining honors in swim-
ming has been proposed by Miss Apple-
bee and the Swimming Captains. It has
been suggested that there be ten events
and that anyone who can pass eight of
these should be a first-class swimmer,
six of them a second-class swimmer, and
four of them a third-class swimmer.
These events need not be passed off at
any one time, but can be tried all during
the year. The events which have been
thought of are: 4 speed swims, 2 back
and 2 front; swimming for form, that is
being able to do 3 strokes well. This
event was introduced at the swimming
meet last year, but was cut out this year



as it takes too long and is not interesting
for the spectators. Other events are 3
dives for form; 3 fancy dives; life-saving;

diving for something on the bottom of the
pool and underwater swimming.

This plan can be used in conjunction
with the plan of the Athletic Board to
have some class be Athletic Champion.
For this, winning first team championship
would count a certain number of points,
second team championship a certain num-
ber of points, etc. The percentage of peo-
ple im each class who are authorized
swimmers would count as well as the per-
centage who are first, second and third-
class swimmers.

It has also been suggested that the Ath-

. letic Association award medals to all first-
class swimmers. . o



SCHELLING ENTHRALLS AUDIENCE



Introduces Work of Granados



Ernest Schelling, playing Saturday
evening in Taylor Hall, showed the bril-
liance, precision, and feeling that Pad-

_| erewski’s only pupil and disciple should

possess. His interpretation of Chopin’s
A-flat Polonaise, the most important
number on the program, was scarcely sur-
passed by Paderewski himself, who
played it in Philadelphia a few weeks ago.
Besides the program he gave four en-
cores: Spanish Military March by Gra-
nados, Chopin’s C-sharp Prelude, Spanish
Dance by Granados, and Chopin’s Noc-
turne in D-sharp.

Schelling Discovered Granados

Granados, whose “Goyescas” was on
the program, was almost entirely un-
known until seven years ago, when Schell-
ing discovered him and, by playing his
pieces all over Europe and this country,
won for him a steadily increasing reputa-
tion. Kreisler played the Spanish Dance,
arranged for violin, in Philadelphia on
Saturday afternoon. The Military March,
written at the request of the King of
Spain, is played every night in Madrid as
the watch changes. For the first time,
Granados is in America, in New York, at-
tending to the production of his opera
some time in February.

Student as Well as Pianist

Schelling was taken to live with
Paderewski in Switzerland when still
very young, and was appointed to take
his place when illness prevented Pad-
erewski from playing at the National
Polish Centennial Celebration at Lem-
berg. Schelling has, besides the work for
his profession, made a special study of
the habits and customs of the various
peoples in order to play their music. He
is considered the greatest living inter-
preter of Chopin because he so under-
stands the Polish spirit.

After the recital, Mr. Schelling said
that he had seldom played to a more ap-
preciative audience—that he always found
college students most enthusiastic.

The program was: :

SLIGHT FIRE IN TEA HOUSE



Bryn Mawr Fire Company to the Rescue



A slight fire in the College Tea Room
was the occasion of great excitement on
Monday night at 7.30. At the blowing of
the Power House siren the Campus was
filled with a mob, which followed the
noise of the Bryn Mawr fire engine to the
Tea House. The fremen immediately ran
a line of hose into the Tea Room, but
withdrew when they found that the only
trouble had been a slight chimney fire
which had gone out of itself. The crowd,
now grown to a considerable size by the



addition of villagers, soon dispersed.

UNIQUE GIFT OF B. M. ALUMN4



Fund for Study of Prevention of Fire in
Pennsylvania Factories



“There is something very inspiring and
encouraging”, begins an editorial in the
“Ledger” of January 6th, “in the an-
nouncement of the uses to which certain
alumne of Bryn Mawr College have de-
cided to apply the fund they have recently
raised to mark the twenty-fifth anniver-
sary of their class”. The alumne re-
ferred to are the eleven members of the
first class, 1889, together with fifty more
from the three contemporary classes.
They have raised a fund to endow study

of Fire Prevention in the factories of this.

State where women are employed.

“This work”, the editorial goes on to
state, “will be done under the auspices
and with the cordial approval of the Penn-
sylvania Department of Labor and Indus-
try;—it will be carried forward, as far
as the fund will allow, in the hope of
arousing the public from its mood of
apathy and of winning that sympathy and
coéperation which are essential to the
success of an effort to minimize or elim-
inate the horrible fire danger which
hourly menaces lives of thousands of
young girls and women”.

The editorial closes with a congratula-
tory paragraph upon the practical and
altogether admirable nature of the alum-
ne’s gift.

BRYN MAWR FACULTY ATTEND
CONVENTIONS



Several Members Speak in Washington



During the Christmas vacation, Wash-
ington was the meeting place of many
conventions, among them the Second Pan-
American Scientific Congress, the Ameri-
can Anthropological Association, and the
American Sociological Society, at nearly
all of which Bryn Mawr was represented.

Professors Read Papers

The members of the Bryn Mawr faculty
who attended the Historical Association
were Dr. Frank, Dr. Gray, and Dr. Leake;
Dr. Fenwick, and Dr. Leake attended the
meeting of the Political Science Associa-
tion; and Dr. Fenwick the meetings of
the Society of International Law. Dr.
Frank was one of the leaders of a dis-
cussion in the ancient history section of
papers on “Economic Causes of Interna-
tional Rivalries and Wars in Ancient
Times” by Ferguson and Botsford. Dr.
Gray read a paper on “Problems of Anglo-
Saxon Times” in the mediwval section.

Various Associations Meet
Dr. Barton went to New York to the
section of the Archsological Institute
which met there, to the Society of Bib-
lical Literature, and to the Association of

‘|Teachers of Biblical Literature in Col-

leges and Schools. Dr. Gordon went to
Chicago to the Psychological Convention.
Dr. Kingsbury read a paper at the Second
Pan-American Congress in Washington.

Dr. Wheeler and Dr. Frank attended the
meeting at Princeton of the Archsologi-
cal Institute of America.

DRILL STARTS AT HARVARD

Actual drill for the Harvard “rookies”
was held for the first time last Friday in
the baseball cage at Soldiers’ Field under
the direction of Captain Cordier. The 140
non-commissioned officers who have been
selected to assist the commander in the
preliminary instruction were given prac-
tice in explaining and illustrating the fun-

'damentals of drill.

U. S. HAS CHOSEN NARROWEST WAY
IN SUBMARINE CONTROVERSY



“International law is what international
sentiment will support, and nothing else”,
said Dr. de Laguna, at the end of his talk
to the Philosophy Club on Monday night.
International law, its relation to law in
general, its three divisions—the law of
peace, the law of war, and the law of
neutrality—and the application of the
last law, neutrality, to the present sub-
marine issues, were the chief points made
by Dr. de Laguna.

Dr. de Laguna said that there was a
broader and a narrower way for a neutral
to act concerning its rights, and that in
the submarine controversy between this
country and Germany the United States
have acted in the narrowest way possible.
Our protests against the torpedoing of
merchant ships, he went on to say, have
been most inefficient. In every case we
look first to see whether there were any
Americans on board; if so, whether they
were injured; if so, whether Germany has
any excuse to offer; and, if not, we de
mand a disayowal or indemnity. The
broader way to act, explained Dr. de La-
guna, would be to protest against the
sinking of any merchant ship whatsoever,
for the liability to sinking is itself a limi-
tation upon the freedom of American
travelers. The broader way, admitted Dr.
de Laguna, would bring a larger amount
of danger, but insistence upon rights, he
said, is always dangerous.

The talk was very general in scope and
gave an interesting account of how law
has grown up.

FOUR STUDENT VOLUNTEERS



Open meetings of the Student Volunteer

-Band will be held twice a month during

the Second Semester. Anyone interested
in missions will be invited to come and
join in the discussion of mission subjects.
There will be no outside speakers, but
someone will generally give a short re
port and the discussion will be based on
some book of missionary biography.
There are now four Student Volunteers in
College—two graduate students, H. Tufts
and R. Manchester, "13, and two under-
graduates, A. Grabau, "16, and R. Sato,
17. Several others who do not wish to
volunteer are also definitely planning to
become missionaries.

CLASS COLLECTORS DISCUSS
ENDOWMENT FUND



Last Saturday the class collectors met
with the Finance Committee of the
Alumne Association at a luncheon at the
Philadelphia College Club to discuss
methods of raising money for the Endow-
ment Fund. M. G. Branson is the class
collector for 1916. Each year the gradu-
ating class at Bryn Mawr elects its class
collector, who holds her position for life.
Her duties are to superintend the con-
tributions of her class to the endowment
fund, to write each year to every member
of her class, about such contributions, and
to meet with the Finance Committee to
discuss methods and results. The collec-
tors will meet again with this committee
during Commencement Week. Miss M. G.
Thomas, '89, is chairman of the Finance
Committee and Miss Dimon is secretary.
The undergraduate members present at
the luncheon were C. Kellen, senior presi-
dent, and M. G. Branson, "16.

U. S. HAS CHOSEN NARROWEST WAY
IN SUBMARINE CONTROVERSY



“International law is what international

said Dr. de Laguna, at the end of his talk
to the Philosophy Club on Monday night.
International law, its relation to law in
general, its three divisions—the law of
peace, the law of war, and the law of
neutrality—and the application of the
last law, neutrality, to the present sub-
marine issues, were the chief points made
by Dr. de Laguna.

Dr. de Laguna said that there was a
broader and a narrower way for a neutral
to act concerning its rights, and that in
the submarine controversy between this
country and Germany the United States
have acted in the narrowest way possible.
Our protests against the torpedoing of
merchant ships, he went on to say, have
been most inefficient. In every case we
look first to see whether there were any
Americans on board; if so, whether they
were injured; if so, whether Germany has
any excuse to offer; and, if not, we de
mand a disayowal or indemnity. The
broader way to act, explained Dr. de La-
guna, would be to protest against the
sinking of any merchant ship whatsoever,
for the liability to sinking is itself a limi-
tation upon the freedom of American
travelers. The broader way, admitted Dr.
de Laguna, would bring a larger amount
of danger, but insistence upon rights, he
said, is always dangerous.

The talk was very general in scope and
gave an interesting account of how law
has grown up.

There will be no outside speakers, but

There are now four Student Volunteers in
College—two graduate students, H. Tufts
and R. Manchester, "13, and two under-
graduates, A. Grabau, "16, and R. Sato,
17. Several others who do not wish to

become missionaries.

CLASS COLLECTORS DISCUSS
ENDOWMENT FUND



Last Saturday the class collectors met
with the Finance Committee of the
Alumne Association at a luncheon at the
Philadelphia College Club to discuss
methods of raising money for the Endow-
ment Fund. M. G. Branson is the class
collector for 1916. Each year the gradu-
ating class at Bryn Mawr elects its class
collector, who holds her position for life.
Her duties are to superintend the con-
tributions of her class to the endowment
fund, to write each year to every member
of her class, about such contributions, and
to meet with the Finance Committee to
discuss methods and results. The collec-
tors will meet again with this committee
during Commencement Week. Miss M. G.
Thomas, '89, is chairman of the Finance
Committee and Miss Dimon is secretary.

MEXICANS STILL BARBARIANS



_ heek of Character Is Cause of Trouble

“The chief cause of trouble with Mexico
is character, or lack of it”, said Dr. S. S.
Condor, pastor of the Union Church, Mex-
ico City, in his lecture in Taylor Hall, on
January 5th. Mexicans, he said, have not
enough character to live up to their ma-
terial prosperity; they have absolutely no
power of organization and no civic vir-
tues. The revolutions, with the exception
of that under Madero, were started by one
man’s declaring himself a general and
gathering about him a small band of fol-
lowers. Madero, believing the people suf-
ficiently educated to govern themselves
(Diaz had reduced the percentage of illit-
eracy from 98 per cent to about 80 per
cent), let them riot as much as they
liked. “‘That’s only a little riot running
along’, was a common remark, as win-
dows smashed and street cars were
seized.

Work of the American Embassy

Contrasting Americans and Mexicans,
Dr. Condor cited the ten days’ bombard-
ment of the City of Mexico, beginning
February 9th, 1913. At this time, he said,
the American Embassy delivered the
mail, kept the cable open, organized a
volunteer police patrol, opened grocery
stores and established a bank at the Em-
basgy, all under the direction of Henry
Lane Wilson.

Starvation Conditions

During the eight changes of govern-
ment between August, 1914, when Car-
ranza entered the city, and August, 1915,
water was periodically cut off and an av-
erage of 150 people a day died of starva-
tion. The American Red Cross managed
to import some food under the Red Cross
flag and served out rations at the rate of
forty a minute, while the Government
served but four an hour. The Carran-
zistas allowed this condition to exist so
that the poor would enlist, as the army
was fed at Government expense.

The Protestant schools, Dr. Condor
went on to say, are doing excellent work
towards civilizing and educating the peo-
ple, especially the Indians, who still are
so barbarous as to crucify priests or cut
them into pieces still living.

THE COLLEGE NEWS

FRENCH AND CURRENT EVENTS
CLASSES WELL ATTENDED



which are taught at the Business Wom-
en’s Club of Bryn Mawr every Thursday
evening, at the club rooms on Lancaster
Avenue, are attended by a large part of
the club members. The French Class
under the direction of L. Dillingham,
16, has regular prepared lesson exercises
for each lesson and translates selections
from a first-year reading book. The Cur-
rent Events Class is less strenuous as it
requires no preparation. F. Iddings, '17,
directs the general discussion.

The Business Women’s Club is under
a federation of such clubs which includes
most of the Eastern States. This particu-
lar branch of the club has a membership
of about thirty and furnishes an impor-
tant social center for the members.

CAMPUS NOTES



President Thomas will make an address
before the Girls’ Latin School of Boston
this week.

On Friday Morning, Miss Eveline
Thomson will give a short talk in
Chapel on behalf of the American College
for Women in Constantinople. A number
of Bryn Mawr graduates have taught in
the college. :

Next Semester, Professor G. G. King,
will offer a two-hour free elective course
to students who have taken the three-
hour minor course in History of Art:
Modern Painting from 1830-1916. The
lectures will deal with the Barbizon
School, the Pre-Raphaelite, and the Im-
pressionist Movement, and also Post-Im-
pressionism including the Cubist and

CHRISTMAS ACTIVITIES OF THE

- JUNK AND SEWING COMMITTEES. | .

)



' This year the Athletic Association joined
the Sewing Committee in giving Christ-
mas presents to all the men who have
worked for the Athletic Association. The
married men received a bag of toys and
Christmas stockings, and the single men,
neckties.

Seventy-two dolls and sixty stockings
were sent by the Sewing Committee to
Spring Street, the Coloured Schools in the
South, the Settlement at Kensington, and
Dr. Grenfell, The twenty-four children at
‘Mr. Bates nursery, who depend entirely
on Bryn Mawr for their clothing, received
this year eighty cotton dresses made by
the undergraduates during the summer.
Seven stockings were filled specially for
the old ladies who live in Spring Street.
As these old ladies have only six dollars
a month to live on, a dollar bill was put
in each of their stockings besides the
regular presents.

Junk Makes Large Collection

The Junk Committee, with M. Worch
as head, made a collection of from 800
to 900 articles. The committee sent a
box of old clothes to the Spring Street
Settlement, a box containing 43 articles
to the Kensington Lighthouse Settlement,
a box to the Settlement at Baltimore, a
box of malted milk to Dr. Grenfell, and a
box of cast off books from the Denbigh
Fiction Library to the Working Girls’
Home connected with Mr. Bates’ Settle-
ment. It also sent a large number of
magazines to the Red Cross for soldiers
in the hospitals, and to various factory
libraries.

Southern Schools Appreciative

The boxes sent to the Coloured Schools
were especially gratefully recéived.
These schools are managed almost en-
tirely by the coloured people themselves.
They teach cooking, sewing, manual train-
ing, and agriculture. The boys make
baskets, clothes pins, axe helves, and
hammer helves. The girls and their
mothers are taught sewing and cooking,
with special stress on sanitation in the
home. Most of the schools receive no
support except that which comes to them
from Bryn Mawr. They are situated in
very poor quarters of the country. The
children have to walk long distances over
the mountains barefoot. One little boy
did not even have enough clothes to go
to school in, until the arrival of a box
of junk from Bryn Mawr which luckily
contained a cast off bathing suit. Miss
Annie Holland, writing a letter of thanks
to Miss Applebee, says: “The only source
I have for getting fund for material and
equipment other than the little the pupils
furnish is from small collections from
some of the churches, and ofttimes there
are sO many beggars that there is no
chance for me”.

AT LAST A GERMAN CLUB



Officers Elected; More Members Wanted



At a meeting on January 6th, of those
who wanted to form a German Club, M.
Hoff, "17, was elected president, and L.
Garfield, "16, secretary. It was decided
that meetings be held on the first Thurs-
day and third Saturday of every month,
from 4 to 6, in the room of one of the
members. At each meeting a member is
responsible for introducing some topic
of interest.and conducting the discussion.
A committee was chosen to start games,
and one to select short scenes to be given
before the club at various times.

Qualification for membership is a slight
conversational knowledge of German,
which must be passed upon by Miss
Lasch and the officers. All those who
wish to join the club are invited to attend
a meeting on Saturday, January 15th,
from 4 to 6 p. m., in room 55-59, Denbigh.

‘ MR. KING TO GIVE RECITAL



Finds Favour in London and Boston



Mr. Samuel Arthur King will hold a
Shakespearean recital on Friday, January
14th, at 8 o’clock, for the benefit of the
Polish Relief Fund, and in order to “illus-
trate the artistic side of his theory of in-
terpreting the masterpieces of our great
writers”. The admission will be 75 cents
for outsiders and 50 cents for members
of the College.

On the occasion of Mr. King’s Boston }

début, the late Mr. Henry Austin Clapp, a

most eminent critic and Shakespearean |F

lecturer himself, wrote in the columns of
the Boston “Advertiser”:
and spirit of Mr. King’s delivery were be-
yond the touch of cavil, and the workman-
ship was exquisite in taste and finish”.
Mr. Clapp touches on the most charming
parts of the program and goes on to say:
“All was given with perfect grace and
suavity, yet with full fire and tenderness,
and with that happy, natural touch which
made the listener forgetful for the mo-
ment of all processes of art, and con-
scious’ only of the truth of life inter-
preted by art”.

“Mr. S.A. King, with his Shakespearean |

selections”, says the “Era”, the lead-
ing English dramatic paper, on another
occasion, “furnished adequate evidence
of his wonderful dramatic powers. The
range of his speeches was varied, and pre-
sented a severe test. However, Mr. King
came out of it with flying colors.
How subtly and yet how naturally did he
blend the light shade of life in his acting,
and how well did he estimate the pathetic,
the tragic, the amusing phases of his
characterizations”.

All those who heard Mr. King’s pro-
gram at College last year will know that
his recitals are of the greatest value to
lovers of Shakespeare and to those who
are interested in dramatic art.
