COURSES TO BE LIGHTENED



Undergraduate Board Meets President
Thomas



ory Board of the Undergraduate Associa-
tion met with President Thomas to dis-
cuss the question of overwork. The con-
‘clusion reached was that about half the
courses, especially the reading courses,
require too much work. President Thomas
proposed to have the work
courses cut down. She stated that she
considered eight hours a day the maxi-
mum which should be spent on academic
work, and that seven hours is not too

ecient for the week-ends, she thought.
President ,Thomas also mentioned the ex-
cessive cutting, and said that some strin-
gent measures must be adopted to stop it.

The Seniors did not consider their
class overworked. The other classes, es-
pecially the Juniors, felt that they were
too busy. The courses were discussed
one at a time and it was decided that

MASEFIELD TO SPEAK ON ENGLISH
POETRY



“Sailor Poet” Returned from the
Dardanelles



Mr. John E. Masefield, who will lecture |

on English Poetry in the’ Gymnasium,
Saturday, January 22d, is now in this
country for the first time since 1896.
When here before he is said to have sup-
ported himself by odd jobs in livery sta-
bles and bakeries, finally getting a steady
job at ten dollars a month in a New York
saloon, He now returns as one of the
foremost English poets. His work, Dr.
Chew thinks, is more significant than that
of any other modern poet except Mr.
Hardy.

Will Not Discuss the War

Mr. Masefield has said that he does not
intend to lecture on the war, although he
has served several months in the Darda-
nelles as a stretcher-bearer, in the front
line trenches, only 50 yards from the
enemy’s line. “Then the man behind you
drops dead”, he said, “and that is how the
war goes. When you have served some
time on the ambulance corps your feeling
for the wounded becomes so intense that
you would rather lose your right arm
than drop the stretcher”.

Some of the best known works of Mr.

Masefield are “The Everlasting Mercy”, |
“The |

“Dauber”, “The Daffodil Fields”,
Widow in the Bye Street”, “Philip the
King” and a volume of poems and ballads.
His recent book on Synge, the Irish dram-
atist, is in the New Book Room in the
Library.

Mr. Masefield will lecture before the
Contemporary Club in Philadelphia on
Tuesday, January 18th,” subject, “An
Evening of Poetry”. .

' This was the first meeting which the
, Advisory Board has held in its new ca-

ident Thomas. The members of the board
}are the officers of the Undergraduate As-
| sociation, and four class’ representatives,

Will Preach Sunday Evening



The Rev. W. N. Chambers, D.D., will
preach on Sunday night, January 22d,
about the present condition in Turkey
and his personal experiences there. Dr.
Chambers is a missionary of the Ameri-
can Board of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions. He has spent thirty years in
Turkey, where his work has been the
evangelization of the natives. He was in
Erzeroon when the massacres of the Ar-
menians occurred in 1896, and in 1906 he
witnessed the massacres at Adana, where
he was able to protect the lives of many
of the persecuted Christians. When the

{ Three Other Classes to Be Given



Philosophy, Social Problems, Turkey,
and Old Testament Biography, will be
studied in the classes which run for ten
weeks during the second semester, be-
ginning February the 9th. These classes
meet regularly at 7.30 Wednesday even-
ings.

Dr. Kingsbury will give the class on
the study of social problems in Room C,
Taylor. She will give a general intro-
duction to the course in the first two
classes and will secure experts along vari-
ous lines to give some of the other talks.
The general topics of study will probably
be: “The General Importance of Settle-
;ment Work”, “Reform Work with Girls”.
\“Politics in Social Work", and “Oppor-
tunities of Work in Bryn Mawr Village”.
Kate Chambers Seelye, ‘11, and Doro-



|thea Chambers, ‘19, will give a foreign |

'mission class in Denbigh 37, on Turkey,
| where they have both spent a large part
of their lives. “Religious Problems of
'Philosophy”, especially those suggested
by a general course of Philosophy at col-
| lege, will be given by Miss Agnes L.
“Tierney in the C. A. Library. She is a
‘member of the Germantown Society of
| Friends, and a leader in thought and writ-
‘ing on religious subjects. A class on the
‘study of Old Testament Biography will be
jled by Mary Branson, ‘16, in Rocke
‘feller 41.

The chairman of the Bible and Mission
Study Classes, Miss Scattergood, says
that these classes are designed primarily
for those who will show a definite inter-
est and attend regularly. The different
‘topics to be studied and the plans for
leaders of wide experience, she thinks,
seem to have aroused some general inter-
est. although the Canvass has not yet
|}been made. The Classes will be further
\explained by a personal canvass and by
| literature on the subject.

Discussions of C. A. With a View to
Change



| Changes and improvements of the Chris-
tian Association will be discussed at a
series of Wednesday evening meetings
after mid-years by those who approve and
those who disapprove of any of its pres-
}ent phases. The chairman of the Wednes-
iday evening meetings committee says
| that there are those not much interested
|in the C. A. who think they will take a
/more active part if some things are
| changed ; the purpose of these meetings
‘is to give a chance for criticism and
therefore for progress. President Smith
has said that any suggestions which meet
| with approval in these meetings will be
| proposed in a general meeting of the as-
sociation. The different phases of the
‘Christian Association work will be taken
up separately. “The Ideal Association

Athletic Board Arranges System of Points



The Athletic Board has formulated a
plan for the winning of Athletic Cham-

plan is to award a certain number of
points for each athletic event which the
class may win, first team championship
in a major sport, that is, in hockey,
basket-ball or water-polo counting most,
and grading down from that. The board
has fixed points for some teams which
are as yet non-existent, but with this

On account of the mid-year examina-
tions and the vacation which follows,
there will be no issue of “‘The News” until
February 10th.







Now that the season of examinations
has come and that the College is analyz-
ing its knowledge of tariff and of acids,
of Chaucer and of Royce, “The News”
has determined to call attention to the
ignorance of the unobserving student. A
Sophomore who could probably have lo-
cated Gallipoli was heard inquiring, the
other day, “Where is the magazine room”?
and the tale of the note addressed to the
Leader of the Student Volunteer Band,
which was carried by a Freshman to the
choir leader, will probably pass into his-
tory with the story of the person who
asked at the book shop for an English
reader.

As a suggestion for some ambitious
statistician who wishes to supplement the
Finding List and the C. A. Handbook by a
“Who's Who and What’s What”, we sug-
gest the following questions:

I. How old is the Gym?

Il. Who are the College architects?

III. Distinguish between Taylor Hall
and Hall the Taylor?

IV. Who founded the College and who
have been its presidents?

Vv. What has become of the Trophy
Club? '

VI. What does “Bryn Mawr” mean?

VII. What caused the Denbigh fire?
When did it occur?

VIII. Who endowed the Potato Fund?
The Ice Cream Fund?

IX. Analyze by taste and smell the
chemicals in the swimming pool?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

oo
Chance for Criticism of the C. A.
To the Editor of “‘The College News’:
To the Editor of “The College News”:
Elsewhere in this edition of “The

News” will be found an announcement of
the new plan for Wednesday evening
meetings after mid-years. The first four
are to be discussions, not of religious sub-
jects, but of the policy and organization
of the Christian Association. This asso-
ciation does more different kinds of work
than any other in College, and at the
same time it is more criticized than any
other. But a large number of the criti-
cisms are vague or impractical, and those
who made them have not taken sufficient
interest in them to try to correct the evils
they condemn. Perhaps one reason for
this is because they felt that little atten-
tion was paid to them; but the President
of the Christian Association has prom-
ised that any valuable suggestions made
at these informal talks will be taken up
and voted on in a big meeting. With this
opportunity to make changes, there will
be no reason for anyone to withhold her



active support from the Christian Asso-
ciation on account of dissatisfaction with

the execution of its ideals. So we earn-
.}estly hope that there will-come to these

Wednesday evening meetings all those
who aren’t interested in the Christian As-
sociation, all those who feel that it isn’t
a power in the community, and all those
who feel that it is inefficient!

1919 Writes to Foreign Students
To the Editor of ‘The College News’’:

The. Federation Committee feels much
encouraged by the interest that the Class
of 1919 is showing in its work. On Janu-
ary 10th, the Federation Committee asked
some 28 Freshmen to come to a meeting
to discuss writing to women students in
foreign universities in order to find out
a little about the Christian work in these
centers. Twenty-five Freshmen came and
of these seven immediately volunteered
to write, while many more said they
would like to do it, but would wait until
after mid-years to volunteer.

If there is anybody else in College that
would like to write such a letter will she
come to me (68 Rockefeller) for the ad-
dress as soon as possible in order to get
an answer this year. The countries al-
ready taken are Austria, Argentina, Ru-
mania, Holland, Norway, Sweden, Japan,
France, Germany, and India.

MR. KING’S PROGRAM HAMLET



Recital Makes $155 for Polish Relief Fund



On Friday evening Mr. Samuel Arthur
King gave a Shakespearean recital for
the Benefit of the Polish Relief Fund.
The program was entirely made up of
scenes from ‘Hamlet’. An encore was
given at the end of the evening, Mercu-
tio’s description of Queen Mab, from
“Romeo and Juliet”.

Mr. King began with the court scene
in which Hamlet plans to go to Witten-
berg and the queen begs him to stay;
next, the scene on the ramparts with the
ghost, and the great soliloquy at the end
of Act II. In the scene with Ophelia,
where Polonius and the king are hidden,
Mr. King said that he followed Edmund
Keane’s tradition, in which Hamlet is
supposed to know that the king is behind
the curtain. He also quoted Coleridge to
support this interpretation.

Persons Skillfully Distinguished

Mr. King next gave Hamlet’s advice to
the players, and then the entire play
scene, where the distinction between the
persons speaking was skillfully made.
Act III, Scene 3, where Hamlet chides his
mother, and his father’s ghost appears,
came next, and finally the graveyard
scene, with Laertes’ lament over the body
of Orphelia.

S. H. ATHERTON, '13, MAKES
NOTABLE REPORT ON GIRLS
IN INDUSTRY



The report on the conditions among the
young working girls of Wilkes-Barre, Pa.,
which has just been published by the Na-
tional Consumers’ League of New York,
was made by Sarah H. Atherton, ‘13. Miss
Atherton’s survey is not the usual dreary
compilation of facts, but, according to all
those who have read it at first hand, it is
an exceedingly human document. The
object of the report is to present the facts
in the lives of girls from 14 to 16 years
of age, who come from working homes in
the coal regions and have left school to
make money by their own efforts.

It was found that 79 per cent of the
girls gave all they earned to the family.
Only 9 per cent kept all their pay. Of
281 girls there were but 7 who worked
for pin-money or pretty clothes.

Music and Movies Favorite Amusements

In giving their favorite amusements,
the majority preferred moving pictures or

music, Reading held third place; church,
theatre, and Y. W. C. A. came fourth; and
‘outdoor spofts were last. “Talking” was

other put down “wheeling the baby car-

been spent on materials, and $20.00 given
to the Belgium Dollar Christmas Fund.
The committee has also sold 44 “Belgium

CAMPUS NOTES

President Thomas made an address on
“College Education for Girls” before the
members and friends of the Bryn Mawr
Club of Boston last Saturday. |

Three new books have been added to
the Denbigh Fiction Library: “The
Search Party’, by George Birmingham;
“The City of Pleasure”, by Arnold Ben-
nett”; “The Mascot of Sweet Briar
Gulch”, by Phillips. These books have
been given in answer to a plea from the
Librarian for books that are no longer of
use to their owners. The dues of the
Fiction Library are so small that it is
impossible to keep the Library supplied
with new books except by such donations.

Deaconess Greene will speak at the
Wednesday meeting on the work of one
of the leading colleges in India. This col-
lege is supported by the Deaconess’ Col-
lege, of which Miss Greene is a graduate.
Miss Greene is studying at Bryn Mawr
this year for her doctor’s degree and
holds a scholarship in Semitic languages
and Biblical literature. She is the first
deaconess who has entered the graduate

school.

The Chess Tournament will start on
the first Monday after mid-years. The
players will be C. Crowell, '16; M. Scat-

Last week Dr. Leake gave his class
lin modern history the test on the Eu-
|ropean war which has revealed the stu-
'dents’ ignorance of current events in
Bowdoin College and in New York Univer-
sity. In Barnard Cellege, where the same
'test was given, the ayerage mark was
| 74. 5 per cent, against 58 per cent for the
| men in New York University and in Bow-
jdoin. As the questions at Bryn Mawr
were asked of the History students, in-
stead of the students in general, it is im-
possible to make accurate comparisons.
“Where is Galipoli”? however, the stum-
bling-block everywhere else, was fairly
well answered here. -

. MR. NASMYTH DISCUSSES
INTERNATIONAL ent



Advocates World Federation

“We must abolish war by organizing
politically”, said Mr. George W. Nasmyth
‘Saturday night in his speech on Federa-
tion against International Anarchy. Mr.
Nasmyth has travelled extensively in the
belligerent countries and is now closely
connected with the peace movement. He
began by speaking of the philosophy of
force which is predominant at present es-
pecially in Germany, and compared the
present struggle between the countries of
Europe with the struggle between the
thirteen original States of America dur-
ing the critical period from 1783 to 1789.
Just as the quarrels and warfare between
the States were ended by the establish-
ment of a strong central power, Congress
and the Supreme Court, he said, so the
international problems of to-day can be
solved by a process of federation.



Women to Reconstruct Ideas

In this first step to prevent interna-
tional anarchy, says Mr. Nasmyth, Amer-
ica should take the lead. He maintains
that there should be a Supreme Court
of Justice, before which nations must
place their cases before entering into
war. He pointed out that although such
a measure may not avert war, it will at
least delay the issue until the whole na-
tion can decide for itself. ‘We must pre-
cede the reconstruction of society by the
reconstruction of ideas”, he said. He
pointed out that this was a task for the
universities and especially for the women, |
who, not Having played a large part in

_| STUDENT FIRE BRIGADE DRILLS

WITH LADDER AND HOSE

h



Men. Demonstrate Complete Drill i

Three Minutes



The first regular outdoor fire drill: of
the students’ fire fighting brigade was
held on Friday morning with the men

demonstrated the able way in which they
have been drilled by Mr. Tom Foley, tak-
ing the hose-cart and ladder from the
shed behind Merion and running with it

ladder was raised to’ the roof, the hose
unrolled from the cart and fastened to
the hydrant, and the men then carried the
hose up the ladder, making it possible to
have a stream of water on the roof in less
than three minutes from the time they
left Merion. The apparatus was brought
back to Merion and the students repeated
the men’s performance though they had
to be helped. After a few more drills it
is hoped that they will be able to get a
line of hose to any building as promptly
and as efficiently as the men.

ALUMNA NOTES
The annual meeting of the Alumne As-
sociation will be held in the Chapel on |
next Saturday, January 29th, at 11.00 |
o'clock. The new business which is on
the program is a discussion of the me-
morial to Miss Garrett. All Seniors and

spring are invited to attend the meeting. |
A letter to the “Public Ledger” men-
tioning the uniqueness of the Bryn Mawr



public affairs up to the present day, have
sounder traditions on which to build so- |
ciety.

Federation to Bring Higher Patriotism

Mr. Nasmyth spoke of the great pa-
triotism shown in the war, but he em- |
phasized a higher patriotism which has |
been kept from developing by inter- |
national anarchy, a patriotism not only |
for one’s country, but for the whole world |
community. “It is the duty of the com: |
ing generation”, he said, “to construct
these higher ideals. Conditions as they
exist do not allow for a New Testament |
doctrine of love, but merely for an old |
tribal religion with a god of battle and
vengeance”.

COMMERCIAL DESIGN STUDENTS
FILL ORDERS WHILE LEARNING |



Mary Tongue, '13, Takes Course



A course in Commercial Design has |
been established this year at the Mary- |
land Institute of Arts and Design, by Mr. |
Carol M. Sax. The work is divided into
three lines—advertising, costume- design |
and specialization and is done in great |
part to fill actual orders. Mary V.
Tongue, 1913, is taking the course.

Last year, in work done almost entirely
outside of the school, the nucleus of this
present class earned over one thousand
dollars. This year they have already
done better. Miss Tongue says of the
course: “Mr. Sax’s idea seems to be that
work done as a job and not as mere
practise will, and must be, up to a pro-
fessional standard; that working so, the
student graduates an experienced work-
man with results and experiences that
no amount of mere class room drill could
give, and is able to command a profes-
sional’s wage”.



THERMOMETERS MAY CHANGE



A bill has lately been introduced into
Congress to replace all Fahrenheit ther-
mometers by Centigrade. Several mem-
bers of the Cornell faculty have endorsed
the bill in recent letters to Washington
and agree that the advantages of the
centigrade scale for scientific work make
the change practical
