1917 WINS SWIMMING MEET



i. Peters, 19, Individual Champion



1917 won the swimming meet on Satur-
day night for the third time with a total
of 38% points, while L. Peters, 1919, won
the individual championship, making 23
points. Three records which were made a
week ago remained the same but M.
Scattergood, 1917, equalled Miss Ewarts’
record of 15 3/5 sec. on the 68 foot swim
on front made in 1913. 1919 won second
place with 31 points, while 1918 won third
with 1214. M. Scattergood won second
individual place and A. Gest, 1918, who
broke the record in the plunge for dis-
tance which has stood since 1912, won
third place.

The meet as a whole was not so good
as the one the week before, for most of
the swimming was slower, the plunging
did not nearly equal that of the week
before, and the diving was not so good.

AUTOGRAPH COPIES OF MASEFIELD
PRIZES FOR BEST POEM OR PLAY

Mr. Masefield Pleased with Bryn Mawr





In proof of the interest that Mr. Mase- |

field felt in Bryn Mawr he has offered two

{prizes to Bryn Mawr students and has

promised to come to award them in
March.

For the best poem of not more than
forty lines Mr. Masefield has offered a
prize of three volumes of his poetry, with
an inscription to the winner in verse.
Likewise to the writer of the best short
story of not more than 1200 words or of
the best play of not more than 3000 words
he has offered a prize of three volumes of
his prose with an inscription to the win-
ner in prose. Unless he.is called back to
England before that time, Mr. Masefield
will spend several days in Bryn Mawr in
March. He has not consented to give an-
other lecture then, but he will choose the
winners of the contest and award the
prizes.

DEBATING DISGUISED



1918’s Impromptu Speaking a Success



Acting on the suggestion given by Dr.
De Laguna in his description of the Ox-
ford Fabian Society, several of the Sopho-
mores have experimented with a method
of impromptu speaking which promises to
be much more efficient than the system
of practice debates of last year. No
preparation is necessary for the speaking,
except by one person who chooses the
speakers and their subjects in advance
of the meeting. V. Kneeland did this for
the first meeting, which was held on Tues-
day evening, February 8th, in the Chris-
tian Association: Library. About thirty-
five Sophomores were present.

Minute-Glass Times Speakers

The person in charge of the meeting,
that-is; the only one who knows who the
speakers are to be, announces the first
speaker and her subject, allowing her two
minutes to think of her speech. At the
end of the two minutes, the person called
on must speak for five minutes. No apol-
ogies are allowed and a stopwatch and
minute-glass time the speakers accu-
rately. During the two minutes in’ which
each subsequent speaker thinks of her
subject, there is open discussion of the
subject of the previous speaker. At the
end of the hour the person to arrange
the speakers for the next time is chosen.
C. Dodge was elected, at the first meet-
ing, for the second meeting, which came
last Tuesday.

The speakers and subjects at the first
meeting were in order as follows: C.
Dodge, “Gordon Craig and the New
Staging”; E. Houghton, “Advantages of
Four Months Away from College”; M.
O’Connor, “Merits of the English
Course”; V. Frazier, “The Artistic Tem-
perament”; G. Flanagan, “Advantages of
Horseback Riding’; L. Hodges, “Incon-
sistency of Self-Government at Bryn
Mawr”; and R. Cheney, “Answer to Miss
Hodges”.

COLUMBIA INTRODUCES COURSE ON
PRISONS

Columbia is laying aside funds for the
maintenance of a new course in practical
penal problems. These funds were con-
tributed by three persons actively inter-
ested in. the campaign to support the
prison reforms of Professor Kirchwey,
now acting warden of Sing Sing. Pro-
fessor Kirchwey will co-operate with Co-
lumbia University in giving these courses.





PLAY TIME, BATES HOUSE, LONG BRANCH

BATES HOUSE TEACHES STRANGE ACCOMPLISHMENTS



Canvass for Support Begun



Bates Camp Committee has begun the
annual canvass to raise money; $1100
is necessary for the running expenses of
the Camp; $500 is paid from the Chris-
tian Association Budget, the remaining
$600 must be raised by separate pledges
now. Spring Street Mission in New York
pays the rent of the house, but the rest |
of the support comes entirely from Bryn
Mawr.

Mr. Bates, who had charge of the Spring |
Street Mission, interested Bryn Mawr in
his work through speaking in Chapel. Al-|
most immediately the Sewing Committee
was started to make dresses for the chil- |
dren in the Day Nursery and Junk Com-
mittee to send old clothes to Mr. Bates |
for the people who were in need. Later
a committee was formed at his sugges- |
tion to plan for a summer camp. Presi- |
dent Thomas gave her approval to the
plan on condition that an older person, |
not the cook, be in charge as chaperon. |
In 1913 the camp was opened at Elms- |
ford, a farm in New York State. Mar- |
garet Shearer, '10, was in charge for the
first two years and was assisted by Bryn
Mawr undergraduates.

Since then the “Bates House’, has
been moved to Long Branch, New
Jersey, where it has the double advan- |
tage of being near New York and being |
by the seashore. Many of the people like
being in a. town so that they can
go to the movies. The house is large and
there is a back yard, and a stable, where |
the children play on rainy days. Hun-
dreds of people who can not afford to get

any other vacation spend a week or more
at Bates. Part of the time there are
Italian families—mothers with their little
children. The housework of the camp is
done by those who can only have a vaca-
tion by working for their board.

Experiences Varied, Say Bryn Mawr
Helpers

The Bryn Mawr helpers take care of
the children, chaperon the boys and
girls and entertain the Missionary So-
ciety. Their reports of camp life are en-
thusiastic and show that the experience
is varied. One of those who was there

|last summer wrote a glowing account of

her week there, ending with the following

| lines:

“Bates Camp taught a new vocation,
There I learned to guide the child;

Lead it in the way appointed—
Spank it hard or treat it mild.

Learned the colic’s every symptom,
Told a fairy tale or two;

Doled out bread and milk to infants—
Learned to love the Irish stew.

There I learned to scrub the woodwork,
Disinfect the rooms with care;

Make the beds and say the blessing,
Lead the hymns and comb the hair.

Learned the art of dressing children,
Learned to love the nursemaid’s toil;

| Feared the lollypop’s attraction,

Learned respect for castor oil”.



ADVANCE NOTICE OF NEW BOOKS



Art, Plays, Biography, History



Among the new books which will be
placed on the shelves of the New Book
Room Friday morning are several of
varied and general interest.

“The Life of Clara Barton”, by Percy
H. Epler, is the first complete biography
of the founder of the National Red Cross
in this country.
on the battlefields of the civil war, at the
sieges of Strassburg and Paris in the war
of 1870, and finally, as president of the
American Red Cross, at the front in the
Spanish war. Miss Barton's diagnosis of
the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian war
and its evident relation to the causes of
the present wa: make the book especially
timely.

“The New Coney in Art”, by Henry |‘





It shows Clara Barton |ers

R. Poore, is an attractively bound hand-
book of post-impressionism, cubism, and
futurism. The illustrations are numerous
and illuminate a rather abstruse text.
There will be two new volumes of plays
from the Russian and one from the
Swedish in the New Book Room on Fri-
day. “Plays” by Leonid Andreyeff, the
gift of the Class of 1916, is translated
from the Russian by C. L. Meader and F.
N. Scott and includes “The Black Mask-
",“The Life of Man”, and “The Sabine
Women”. “Plays” by Anton Tchekoff,
the gift of the Philadelphia Alumne, is
translated by Marian Fell and includes

“Uncle Vanya”, “Ivanoff"’, “The Sea-
Gull”, and “The Swan Song”. The Swed-
ish plays are Strindberg’s. Translated,

with an introduction, by Edwin Bjérkman,
they are “The Bridal Crown”, “The
Spook Sonata”, “The First Warning”, and
‘Gustavus Vasa”.

Returning from last week’s Wednesday
evening meeting of the Christian Asso-
ciation, the Editor had a dream. It was
May day of the year 1926. A Freshman
sat in her room. To her there came a
representative of the membership com-
mittee, wrapped in many veils disguised
lest the Freshman discover her to be the
President of the Self Government Asso-
ciation and listen to her pleadings
prejudiced.

“What appeals to you most”? said’the
apparition.

“Food”, said the Freshman.

“You will receive that at the C. A. re-

ception. And what next’?

“Exercise”.

“Go to Bates’ and comb hair’, was the
reply.

A long pause. Then the visitor con-
tinued, with firmly set lips as though
bound to do her duty. “I must confess
to you one thing. The C. A. does oc-
casionally have meetings in which they
mention religion. But of course if you
do not care to go to those you do not
have to”.

“Is joining the thing to do this year’?
inquired the Freshman trembling.

“IT may not tell you that”, replied the
visitor, drawing out a membership card
written in Swedish, in German, in French;
English and Sanscrit. She read this
aloud, slowly and distinctly.

“Will you sign .this card’? she in-
quired as she finished.

“I'd like to have three weeks and four
hours to think it over”, was the reply.

The committee member left, conscious
of having performed well her delicate
mission.

Before the Editor could discover
whether the Freshman ever joined the
Christian Association, she awoke with a
start.



In the “New York Times” for February
10th, a letter appeared from a Harvard
student defending the newly found Har-
vard regiment and the new course in
military science. It seems too bad that
we at Bryn Mawr should be behind Har-
vard in patriotism. We cannot certainly
have a regiment, but we could have a
course parallel to that on military
a course on first aid and ele-
Our many

science,
mentary medical knowledge.

courses in chemistry and biology give us |
little instruction in the dressing of a.

wound or the lifting and carrying of in-
jured persons, practical knowledge which

everyone ought to have, whether used in |

war times or not. Let this course be an

elective—like the Harvard students, we)
do not wish to be forced into militarism |

—but at least let there be some method
offered by which we can get such neces:
sary knowledge.

THOUGHT A SOCIAL FUNCTION



. Of Thinking



Ordinarily we look upon thought as a
peculiarly private function—something
‘that goes on in a man’s ‘soul in virtual
independence of all other men. Professor
J. E. Creighton, of Cornell, speaking be-
fore the Philosophical Club on Saturday
evening, February 12th, took the position
that all thought is deeply and thoroughly
social. The problems in which thought
takes its rise are set by common inter-
ests; the organized ideas by which solu-
tions are effected are social products; and
the verification of the solution is, again,
a social concern.

Economic Man Out of Date

The individualistic view of thought be-
longs to the same outworn conception of
human relations that showed itself in the
theory of the “economic man” of the
classical political economy, or the theory
of personal liberty of the “laissez-faire”
utilitarian reformers. Men were re-
garded as atomic units, combining with

touched in their essential nature by any
mode of combination.
in recent times that the individual man,
with all that he owes to society left out,
is the emptiest of abstractions. The real
individual is rot prior to society—he is a
social growth.

If it were only that thought is carried
on in language, that would be enough to
give it a social character. As a matter
of fact, even solitary thought is a kind of
discussion which one carries on with an
imaginary opponent, or in which one side
of one’s self argues with another. And the
thought function at its highest is actual
discussion, in which each participant is
eager both to learn and to teach. Of such
discussion the Socratic dialogue is the
type. The ideal of the closet-philosopher,
who constructs the universe in lonely
self-contemplation, is as false as an ideal
can well be.

Toleration Often Indifference

A good deal is said as to the virtue of
toleration; and doubtless toleration is an
excellent thing. But much that passes
under that name is merely a vicious in-
difference. A man cannot think for him-
self alone and a good man is far from
wishing that he could. We have each of
us a rightful interest in one another’s in-
terests and errors. On the other hand,
clear thinking is a good to the individual.
It is a good that extends as far as his in-
tercourse with his fellowmen extends.

T. de Laguna.

MRS. PANKHURST TO SPEAK

QUALIFICATIONS FOR FIRST
SECOND AND THIRD
+ CLASS SWIMMERS



_ Silver and Bronze Medals to Be Awarded



The point system for the first, second
and third class swimmers has been
worked out in part by the Athletic Board
and Swimming Captains, and the Athietic
Association has voted to award silver
medals to first class swimmers and bronze
medals to second class. These classes
will count toward the individual class
Athletic Championship. The judges will
be the Athletic Board, the Swimming
Captains, Miss Applebee, Miss Wesson
and Mr. Bishop.

To be a third class swimmer one must
be able to do any three strokes tolerably
well, i. e., to make 12 out of a possible 30
points; to make 12 out of a possible 30
points in plain diving; and to swim one
and two lengths of the pool in a certain
time. For second class the three strokes
which must be offered are a breast, back,
and trudgeon or crawl, and 18 points must
be made; in addition to the short speed
swims a 6 length swim in a certain time
must be done. The qualifications for first
class swimmers are the speed swims and
a 6 length swim in faster time than for
second class; 25 points must be made in
the form swimming and in plain and
fancy diving; two out of three under-
water stunts must be done, i. e., plunge
for distance, length not yet decided on;
swim under water; picking up six articles
from the bottom of the pool, three times
being allowed.

Times to Be Decided Later

The times which have to be made in
the various swims will be decided on
after people have tried_out so that the
judges can get the average times of most
swimmers. The fancy dives and the
points which they will count if done per-
fectly are: Back jack, 10; front flip, 10;
back flip, 10; flying dutchman, 10; front
jack, 9; hand stand, 9; back, 8; swan, 6;
side, 5; sailor, 5.

For speed events two judges must be
present, one being a board member, while
for the other events three judges must be
there, two being members of the board,
Miss Applebee and Miss Wesson counting
as board members, if necessary.

PRIZES AND FELLOWSHIPS

ALUMNA NOTES



Carmelita Chase, ’12, has announced
her engagement to Mr. Sebastian Hinton,
a Princeton graduate and lawyer in
Chicago. The wedding will take place in
June. Miss Chase was President of the
Athletic Association and started the
Sewing Committee of the Christian As-
sociation. The Sewing Committee, at
that time, dressed two little German girls
at the Presbyterian Orphanage, and Miss
Chase, when she left College to return to
her home in Omaha, persuaded a Western
millionaire to adopt these two children.

Dr. and Mrs. John A. Lester (Margaret
Garrigues, ex-’12) have a son, born De-
cember 5th. .

Mr. and Mrs. Edward A. Edwards (Sid-
ney Garrigues, ex-’10) have a daughter,
Sidney, born February 6th.

The wedding of Helen Tredway, ’11, to
Dr. Evarts Graham, took place at Du-
buque, Iowa, on January 29th.
Tredway was European fellow in 1911,
and, after taking her Master’s Degree
here in 1912, she studied chemistry in
Géttingen, and also at Chicago, where
she took her Ph.D. in September. Dr.
and Mrs. Graham will live in Sioux
City, where Dr. Graham is head of the
hospital. Mrs. Graham is planning to
aid him in research work, as physics and
chemistry was her special work.

Alice Meigs Orr, '05, and Helvetia Orr,
ex-16, have opened a shop in Chicago
for negligees and sports clothes. The pro-
ceeds are for the French orphans.

Mr. and Mrs. Emerson Poste (Irma Bix-
ler, 1910) have a son Edward Albert, born
January 30th.

FRESHMEN JOIN C. A. TOO SOON



Chief Criticism at Wednesday Evening
Meeting



“The Ideal Association” was the subject
of the first of the Wednesday evening
meetings for criticism and discussion of
the C. A., held on February 9th. A.
Werner, 1916, who spoke, stressed the
fact that an Association is what its mem-
bers make it and that in the Christian
Association more than in any other the
responsibility is individual, as the mem-
bers join of their own desire. Since
there are no rules and no system of re-
minding the members of their obligations,
as in Self-Government, she said, each
member has to keep herself alive to her
duties and opportunities.

The criticism which followed was
chiefly general, not offering many definite
suggestions; several implied that the
Association held an inferior place without
explaining how this should be changed.
The thoughtless joining of many Fresh-
men early in the year was blamed by sev-
eral for the fact that many members are
not at all interested in the Association;
the suggestion was made that they be not
asked to sign the card till later in the
year. A smaller membership of those
keenly interested was proposed, but not
generally approved. The fact that there
were so few criticisms was considered by
some to indicate that those who have
criticised the Association in the past have
had no definite objection and in many
cases have not thoroughly understood its
activities. The Christian Association
Board met on Thursday to consider the
suggestions of the meeting.

Committee work is to be the subject of
the meeting on February 16th, led by M.
Scattergood. She will describe in detail
the purpose and work of the different
committees. Any objections or changes
may be proposed. F. Kellogg will lead
the meeting on February 26th on the cab
ject of informal meetings.

CAMPUS NOTES

The Religious Meetings Committee of
the C. A. has been fortunate in getting
Mr. van Allen, of Boston, for the Sunday
evening service this week. Mr. van Allen
has preached here once before, in 1914,
when his striking personality and original
addréss made a great impression on his
audience.

- The Senior oral examinations in French
will be held on Saturday, March 11th, and
the German orals on Saturday, March
18th.

The Membership Committee of the
Christian Association have arranged for
dancing in the Gymnasium on Saturday
evening, from 8 to 10.

Every other Monday the two sections of
Minor Politics meet for a joint discussion
of present political problems. It is the
desire of the instructors, Dr. Fenwick and
Dr. Leake, that the students take an ac-
tive part in the discussion and acquire
an intelligent grasp of important current
events.

On Tuesday evening, February 15th, in
Taylor Hall, Dr. Leake and Dr. Gray met
the members of their courses in Minor
History to discuss the diplomatic corre-
spondence antecedent to the war.

Last Thursday the Student Volunteer
Band held the first of this semester’s
meetings. A. Grabau led the meeting and
read from a book on missionary qualifica-
tions and equipment. The next meeting,
which is also an open meeting, will be
held on February 27th.

Helen Chase, '16, has been appointed
stage manager for the performance of
the Mikado, which the Glee Club presents
on April 8th. A. Kerr, ’18, will take the
part of “Pish Tush”.

New members of the choir this semes-
ter are: H. Chase, L. Dillingham, E.
Emerson, A. Kerr, H. Riegel, C. Westling.
New substitutes are: B. Bensberg, R.
Fordyce, L. Peters.

BHighty dollars makes up the loan fund
of the Christian Association which is in
charge of the Employment Committee.
This may be borrowed without interest
and paid back at the convenience of the
borrower. It is distinct from the “College
Loan Fund” and may be used by any one.
Ruth Cheney, '18, is chairman of this
committee.

Mary Allen, "18, has left College on ac-
count of ill health.

1916. Emilie Strauss has been elected
editor of the Class Book.

1919. Frances Clarke has been elected
Secretary in place of Mary Tyler. Bliza-
beth Biddle has been elected Assistant
Song Leader in place of Winifred Robb.

M. E. BARNICLE CHAIRMAN OF
FORUM



New Members Wanted for Club



Miss Mary Elizabeth Barnicle has been
elected chairman of the Forum for this
semester in place of Miss Daw. The club
is making plans to have an outside
speaker in the near future, and is trying
to get Miss Vida Scudder, of Wellesley,
although she has not as yet definitely ac-
cepted.

Work of Past Semester

The discussions of the Club have been
for the most parts on current events, al-
though two weeks ago Well's “Research
Magnificent” was discussed. On Janu-
ary 16th, Miss Mary A. Hanna gave a
report on the proceedings at the conven-
tion of the Woman's Peace Party at
Washington. Because of the small at-
tendance, there has been no opportunity
for training in extemporaneous speaking
which the Club desires to promote.

So far there have not been more than
eleven or twelve people present at the
Sunday evening meetings of the Club in
the Non-Resident rooms in the basement
of Rockefeller Hall. No reading is re
quired for these mectings and:all are in-

" -vited.

LARGE ATTENDANCE AT



Total of One Hundred and Sixteen



A hundred and sixteen people went to
the first of the Bible and Mission classes

ance for the last three years. Five-sixths
of the number enrolled went to classes,
though this includes some who did not
sign up. JBighty-seven attended Miss
Kingsbury’s class in Taylor. This num-
ber has only been exceeded in recent
years by the attendance at Dr. Ross’s
Bible classes, one of which had an en-
rollment of a hundred and fifty, with a
good average attendance.

Kate Chambers Seelye, '11, led the class
on Turkey, describing the origin of
Mohammedanism, “the religion which is
running neck and neck with Christian-
ity”. The endeavor in the course will be
to discover why it is such a powerful
“challenge to Christianity”, in what re-
spects Christianity transcends it and
what parts of it may be retained in
preaching Christianity to the Moham-
medans.

M. Branson’s class on Old Testament
Biography in the C. A. Library: The
“Book of Joshua” was studied from the
point of view of the historical and liter-
ary content and the moral lessons.
“Judges” will be studied next.

Dr. Kingsbury’s class served as a gen-
eral introduction to the course on “The
Field of Social Work”. The classes on
February 23rd and March ist will be
led by Miss Davies, the head worker of
the Philadelphia College Settlement
House, on the subject of “Community Ed-
ucation”.
