_ OF THE CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION



History Outlined to C. A. Members



How the Christian Association devel-
oped from two small weekly meetings to
its present active organization, was the
subject of the meeting Saturday night,
when Dr. Barton, Miss Applebee, E.
Deems, ’10, H. Smith, 10, and L. Hough-
teling, 11, spoke at the C. A. Birthday
Celebration.

Dr. Barton, calling himself “the oldest
inhabitant,” began with an account of the
religious life in College before any re-
ligious organization existed, telling of a
Friends’ meeting every Wednesday even-
ing led by Dr. Rhoads, the first president
of the College, ahd of meetings held on
Sunday evenings in the Gymnasium, at
which was discussed every subject of the
slightest interest except religion. He
then told how, in 1895, after the death of
Dr. Rhoads, a group of students formed
a Christian Union, although some thought
it a mistake to organize anything so per-
sonal as religion. The Union, said Dr.
Barton, soon showed its importance in
taking charge of the philanthropic work
and the Bible classes and grew in defi-
niteness of expression until 1903, when
some of the members formed within the
Union a “League for the Service of
Christ”, composed of those who belonged
to Evangelical churches and who felt that
they needed the stimulus of something
more decided than the simple broad
Union basis.

Will You, Won’t You, Join the League?

Miss Deems, taking up the history from
1903, told of the introduction of the
Freshmen to the two associations. The
choice between the two she described as
hard for her as she was in sympathy with
the work of both the Union and the
League, but she soon found that it was
impossible to work for both and resigned
from the Union. She then outlined the
situation when she was in College; the
Union had charge of the classes for the
maids and lab boys, Miss Tsuda, Bible
and Mission Study classes and the Sun-
day evening meeting in the gymnasium;
the League supported Mr. Tonomura, ar-
ranged for the Silver Bay delegation, had
a Student Volunteer Band, and Vespers
on Sunday; both had classes in town,
and finally most of the philanthropic

Though some of the work duplicated, she
explained, the feeling was so strained
that the College was shocked when 1910
dared to allude to the antagonism in their
Freshman Show, “Alice in Bryn Mawr’,
in the duet between the Lion and the
Unicorn, “Will you, won’t you; will you,
won’t you; will you, won't you, join the
League—the Union”?

The Associations Join

The joining of the two Associations in
1910 was described by Miss Smith, who
was on the committee that united them.
“It all began with Miss Applebee”, she
said. “She had the hope of welding the
two and asked the boards to meet with
her in her office. It was a strange meet-
ing, the two boards lined up on opposite
sides of the room and-glared at each
other. Their glares soon turned to looks
of watchful interest, however, as the plan
was explained”. After weeks of work
with President Thomas, Dr. Barton and
Dr. Ross, Miss Smith said these plans
were worked out and a basis for an Asso-

work was done by a joint committee. |'





Author of Play Given by Sophomores



Mr. Laurence Housman, who will speak

next Saturday, March 18th, in Taylor, on |

“The Moral and Immoral Influences of
Modern Drama”, is best known to Bryn
Mawr students as the author of the “Chi-
nese Lantern”, the play given by the
Sophomores last fall.

Mr. Housman, whose brother is A. E.
Housman, the author of “The Shropshire
Lad”, is well known in England as an il-
lustrator in the Pre-Raphaelite manner
and as the author of plays, novels and
poems. “The Chinese Lantern”, and
“Prunella”, which he wrote with Gran-
ville Barker, are among the most popular
of his works. His Nativity play, ‘“Bethle-
hem”, is an adaptation from the old time
Miracle plays. When it was to be per-
formed in London in 1902, it was refused
a theatre license but was finally played
in a hall, where it drew large crowds.
He is also interested in folk lore and has
written a book of fairy tales, called
“Weird Tales from the North Sea”. In an
article, “Petticoat Government”, in the
Contemporary Review for November,
1913, Mr. Housman expresses his sympa-
thy with the cause of suffrage.

CHAPERON RULES BROADENED
RESULTS OF SELF-GOV MEETING



To the tune of “Just one more, only just
one more”, a quorum was finally ob-
tained at the Self-Government meeting,
Monday night, and several of the chap-
eron rules were then placed on a broader
basis.

It was decided that with a brother of
eighteen years or over, when no other man
is present, a student may go to a dance,
to dine, or to places of entertainment
unchaperoned. It was also decided that
a student visiting in a house where there
is not more than one other Bryn Mawr
student shall be under the chaperon rules
of her hostess even if they should con-
flict with the chaperon rules of Self-Gov-
ernment. To. visit a person, however,
with the direct intention of breaking Self-
Government was felt to be definitely
against the spirit of the association. An
amendment, to the effect that on Lantern
night men may come into the studies un-
til ten o’clock was also passed.

In order to have Sophomore classes
represented on the Advisory Board it was
voted that the Treasurer of the Associa-
tion be also a member of the Board, since
the Treasurer is always a Sophomore.

80 PER CENT PASS THIRD FRENCH
ORAL



Out of the fifteen Seniors who took the

third French oral last Saturday twelve

passed and three failed; that is, 80 per
cent passed and 20 per cent failed. There
were no merits. Of the three who failed,
one has already passed German and the
other two, may pass it on Saturday. If
they do, no one in the class will have to
take both of the fourth orals.

HUMORISTS GET BUSY



The Palace Players Film Corporation
of New York will pay for synopses of
comic situations from which motion pic-
tures may be made. The synopses need
not be in the form of scenarios and the
market for them is open permanently.

MASEFIELD PRIZE PERMANENT

‘Faculty Committee to Sift Material



fered for the best play or short story and
for the best poem are to be permanent
and will be awarded every year. Mr.
Masefield has been called back to France
earlier than he expected and has been
obligéd to cut.short all sorts of engage-
ments in this country. For this reason
he has not yet. set a date for his second
visit to Bryn Mawr, but it will undoubt-
edly be some time this month.

The faculty committee chosen to select
the best of the contestants’ material for
Mr. Masefield to judge is: Professor G.
G. King, chairman; Professor Rhys Car-
penter, and Dr. Samuel Chew. The con-
test closed on Friday, March 10th.

CLOSE COMPETITION FOR VARSITY
GOAL AND FULLBACK



Prepare for Alumnz Water Polo Game



Three Varsity water-polo practices
were held last week in anticipation of the
Alumnz game which will probably take
place next Saturday afternoon. ‘These
first practices were not satisfactory as
the passing was not good and there was
too much splashing. The team has not
been chosen. ' There is close competition
for goal and fullback and the forward line
is weak and needs working up. Two more
practices will be held before the game.

NATIONALITY NOT BASIS OF
RECONSTRUCTION

“After the War”, by Mr.-S.-K. Ratcliffe



“However Europe will be settled after
the war, it will not be settled on lines of
nationality”, said Mr. Samuel K. Ratcliffe
in a lecture entitled “After the War: Set-
tlement and Reconstruction”, Monday aft-
ernoon in Taylor. Mr. Ratcliffe is Secre-
tary of the Sociological Society in Eng-
land, is editor of the Sociological Review
of the “Echo”, and for three years was
editor of “The Statesman” in Calcutta;
he is also lecturer under the London Uni-
versity Extension Board.

In summing up the sentiments with
which England entered the war, Mr. Rat-
'cliffe said “We went into the war with
'the determination to make the most out
of it. This is a war for the liberation of
peoples, for freedom and democracy, and
for the overthrow of the military domina-
tion of Europe.

“Europe will not be settled along the
lines of na‘ionality”, he said, “because
nationality is too ill-defined. The mod-
ern tendency is toward the formation of
larger aggregations of peoples for polit-
ical purposes. Nationality is funda-
mental; nearly every war has been due to
the perversion of nationality. We must,
therefore, find a method for the fullest
| possible expression of national units and,
|at the same time, for political expansion”.
| it is the reforms, such as government
}ownership of railroads and control of in-
dustry, and allowing women to supplant
‘men industrially, which the government
has been forced to work under special
|pressure of war, which will have to be
itaken into account when the time for re-
construction comes.

We have received a letter condemning
our account of the Freshman show as
“lukewarm” and suggesting numerous
changes and additions to our criticism.
Although we realize that our accounts of
plays represent only one point of view,
we feel that we have not the space to
print every possible shade and variation
of opinion on every College show and
play. As we announced in our issue of
December 2d, we are always willing to
pay for and to publish good criticisms of
plays if they are sent to us by 8 o’clock
on the Monday morning following the

play.





The general attitude toward work at
College is noticeably that of school girls.
When one comes to College one is sup-
posed to regard work as an end in itself
rather than as something to be got
through as shiftlessly as the professor
will allow. Although required work may
not be interesting, Major work we can
choose for ourselves and cannot excuse
our slipshod hurried work on the ground

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

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

Current Events Course Wanted
Ty the Editorjof “The College News’’:

It is surprising how many students at
College are absolutely ignorant of the
events that are happening now, both
abroad and in our own country. The stu-
dents are not even interested enough in
these history-making events to bec her to
read the papers each day. At this time
of thrilling events such ennui and utter
mental laziness are deplorable. Could
there not be a general lecture started on
the events that happen each week, which
might force these narrow-minded stu-
dents to take an intelligent interest in the
events which will go down to history?

Violation of Neutrality
To the Editor of ‘The College News’’:
Are we in College observing the neu-
trality of the United States? This may
seem a foolish question—what can we
do?—but Saturday’s bleak headlines,
“Wilson Orders Villa Caught, Dead or
Alive”, have brought home, even here,
where the topic is little discussed, the
question of our relations with other
countries. We cannot help wondering
whether in a few months we may not be
at war with one country or another.
It is a state of affairs so much to be
dreaded that it is with something like
fear that we see how many people are
wearing around the campus the little
badges of the Allies colors. They cost a
quarter, we aretold. “The money goes to
the Relief Fund. as an act of charity.
One’s sympathies are pro-Ally’”. So far,
so good. It is most commendable to give
to charity, but for an American to flaunt
her unneutrality even in the seclusion of
Bryn Mawr is questionable. It is just this
“little drops of water, little grains of
sand”, sort of thing which is creating
among foreigners the conviction that the
United States as a whole is eager for a
chance to join the Allies, and which is
causing bad feeling in this supposedly
neutral country.

or all relief funds, but if our sympathies
are other than neutral let us keep them
shut up in our desk-drawers with our
badges.

OUTWARDLY LIFE UNCHANGED BY
WAR



Former Graduate Writes From Germany



Miss Marina Ewald, a German grad-
uate student at Bryn Mawr in 1912-13,
who is now teaching in a girls’ school in
Berlin writes of the feeling in Germany
as the war continues. She says “Out-
wardly our life goes on as it always did,
only that we all expect that after the
war taxation will be so heavy all over
Europe that it will make a very marked
and material difference in the comfort
we have hitherto been accustomed to.
So far one feels very little, if any, eco-
nomical depression or shortage of ma-
terial. The two vegetarian days that
shall be kept every week at first greatly
excited our housewives, but they soon
took to it as to any other regular habit.
“All in all it seems to me that people
are getting blunter towards everything,
as if one were only capable of a certain
amount of emotion and, that being spent,
one adapts one’s self to any kind of con-
dition without much resentment or men-
tal effort. So there was really hardly

vance of our troops in Servia, and so one
begins to pass the crippled, who aroused
so much feeling in the first year, more or
less untouched. I wonder whether the
time will ever come when I can feel the
world standing open to me, or whether
America will remain to me nothing but
a memory of that almost fabulous time,
‘before the war’.”’

boards agreed.

Six years ago, she went on, the two
Associations ‘met separately one night in
voted to dissolve pro-
the other did and then the whole
in a large mass meeting,

which was the enthusiastic beginning of
the present Association. Then she told
-of the jubilant procession which took the
news to President Thomas, singing with
a triumphant shout the words, “We are
‘not divided. All one body we”.
Important steps taken during the first
year were told of by Miss Houghteling,
the first president. ‘The new Association
was bound to prove its importance to the

College”, she said. The Union had been

called “works without faith” and the

League “faith without works”; but in the

new Association all the good points of

both were incorporated. From the Union,
she explained, came the Board prayer
meeting, the service book and the Col-
lege prayers, and in the same way cer-
tain features of the League were kept.

During this first year the Budget system

was worked out and the Sunday evening

service became important; there were
better Bible and Mission Study classes,
said Miss Houghteling.

Wild Members | Have Known

Miss Applebee brought the history of
the Association up to date by describing
“Wild Members I Have Known”. She
said that some people seem to consider
the Association a hose, played by the
board; some were afraid of it and kept
out of its way, and some waited for it to
be turned on them. Both, she said, criti-
cise it as inefficient. Another class, said
Miss Applebee, are the superior, ‘“‘clever’”’
or “good’’, the mental or spiritual giraffes,
and another the clams who keep shut, out
of selfishness or to hide their emptiness.
The rest of the members who are thrilled
by the work of the C. A. and know that
they are interested, often fail in their
high obligation. If, however, there were
a crisis, Miss Applebee said, one and all
would feel their unity, “for the strength
of one is the strength of all’; and all are
bound together for the kingdom of God.



CAMPUS NOTES

CHRISTIANITY; ITS REWARDS,
SCOPE AND FORCE



C. A. Conference Has Virile Speakers



The rewards and results of active
Christianity, Christianity in its relation
to social problems, and the definite pur-
pose of Christianity, were the subjects of
Dr. Coffin, L. Houghteling, ’11, and Dr.
Howland, in the three religious meetings
of the week-end conference of the Chris-
tian Association, held from Friday,
March 10th, to Sunday, March 12th.

Dr. Coffin made his chief point the fact
that the sense of being right, of being a
creator who is adequate for his task, and
the knowledge that one is undertaking
the hardest of all problems, are the apso-
lutely inevitable rewards of Christianity
in its truest form.

Miss Houghteling, who is a probation
officer for the Juvenile Court in Chicago,
told of her experiences in this work, link-
ing them up with her work in the Chris-
tion Association here, which, she said,
had given her and many others their
first inspiration for voluntary service.

The one thing positive which men need
know about their religion, said Dr. How-
land, is that they have the love of God in
their hearts. This, he pointed out, was
the foundation of Christ’s faith, and by
its simplicity can be adopted by all.

SPEND YOUR SUMMER IN LABRADOR



Positions in Dr. Grenfell’s Mission



A letter has come from the International
Grenfell Association, asking for student
volunteers to work with the Deep Sea
Mission in Labrador. The work, which is
under the direction of Dr. Grenfell, is of
various kinds. The chief work of Dr.
Grenfell himself is in the field of medi-
cine. His most important hospitals are
at St. Anthony in Newfoundland, and
Battle Harbor and Indian Harbor on the
west coast of Labrador, where positions
are offered for trained nurses and doc-
tors. There is also a chance for work in
connection with the Orphan Asylum at
St. Anthony.

Another field of work is teaching dur-
ing the summer in the little settlements
on the seacoast. M. Foster, '17, who
spent some time last summer in one of
these little fishing villages, says, in tell-
ing of her experiences: ‘As the settle-
ment in which I worked was a prosperous
one, I had a school house, an organ and
twenty-five children between 4 and 17
years. Most of them have had very little
education, and even if you don’t feel your-
self really fitted to be a teacher, you can
always bring those children something
they have never had before. I lived with
a fisherman’s family, who were very kind
and hospitable’.

For those who are interested neither in
medical work nor in teaching, there are
any number of odd jobs, such as running
motor-boats and sail-boats. E. Williams,
’07, works in Labrador regularly, and
Mrs. Grenfell is an alumna of Bryn Mawr.
Many students from both men’s and
women’s colleges spend their summer in
Labrador.

Application may be made to Dr. Russell
MacAusland, 240 Newbury Street, Boston,
who will furnish details in reference to
these appointments.

WATER-POLO ALMOST DOUBLES
1918’s POINTS



The water-polo has _ considerably
changed the points in the all-round ath-
lethic championship. The first, third,
fourth and fifth team victories of 1918
have raised its points from 54 to 92. 1917
still remains at the top with 110.

As a result of the three second team
games which came out Monday night in a
victory for the Freshmen, 1919’s points
have come up to 52.
