CRITICISM TO BE INVESTIGATED
BY THE C. A.



Representative Committee to Report



Ten people, representing different inter-
ests in College, have been chosen by the
C, A. Board to investigate and formulate
the constructive criticism of the Associa-
tion. ._A. Grabau,..’16, chairman of the
committee, said that it has been claimed
that the Christian Association has out-
grown its present organization and the
Board wishes to find out the different sug-
gestions exactly and to hand in to next
year’s Board a definite report.

The committee will find out from those
who resigned this year, from those who
have never joined and from any who have
improvements to suggest, what changes
might benefit the Association. Those who
are on the committee are: Chairman, A.
Grabau, ’16; A. Werner, '16; C. Kellen,
"16; M. Scattergood, °17; N. McFaden,
17; V. Litchfield, "17; R. Cheney, '18; M.
Stair, "18; M. Thurman, '19; D. Cham-
bers, ’19.

hag been cast of the part of Katisha in
the place of H. Johnson, "19, and the part
of N has been changed from A.
Moore, 19, to M. Jacobs, "15, who was
“Ralph” last year in “Pinafore”. Both
performances of the “Mikado”, matinee
and evening, will be on April 8th.

V. Litchfield, "17, won the poster com-
petition. Her design will be used on all
the posters and on the programs.

European Fellow Very Young

Miss Kleps’ group is Latin and English
and she was prepared by the Girls’ High
School, Philadelphia. She is just twenty
years old. “Her age”, said President
Thomas in the course of her address,
“would be approved by President Lowell
of Harvard. In his last president’s re-
port he has made a study of the Harvard
men who enter college at sixteen as com-
pared with the Harvard men who enter
at eighteen and has reached the conclu-
sion that the man who enters the college
youngest wins a greater proportion of ac-
ademic honours than the man who enters
older. This does not mean that if every-
body entered college early the grade
would be raised. It means only that an
exceptional student is exceptional from
the beginning. An exceptional student
enters college before an ordinary student
because she possesses the kind of ability
that will mark her out in college”.

DRAMA TOO PICTORIAL



Mr. Housman Criticises Modern
Stagecraft



“The drama”, said Mr. Lawrence Hous-
man Saturday evening in his lecture on
‘The Moral and Immoral Influence of the
Drama’, “has shifted from the plastic to
the pictorial, with a consequent loss of
reality. We must subordinate our back-
ground and revert to the plastic repre-
sentation of the past”.

As a result of the third orals, no one

of those taking French have passed Ger-

MASEFIELD WILL NOT COME BACK



John Masefield will not pay a second

'visit to Bryn Mawr to award the Mase-
field prizes, for on Friday, March 17th, he
sailed from New York for England.

The famous English poet»was given a

farewell ovation the day before he sailed
by an audience of 2000 in the University |
of Pennsylvania gymnasium. Mr. Mase- |
field did not give a formal lecture, but)

told tales of “Bill”, a sailor friend of his | land the Shakespeare Birthday Committee

Mr. Masefield is returning to continue |

his work among the wounded on the Eu-

ASSESSMENT MOTION LOST



infirmary to Be Screened by Voluntary
Contributions



At a meeting of the Undergraduate As-
sociation last Thurseday the motion to
assess all the members of the College 50
cents to screen the Infirmary was lost,
but a motion was passed to raise the
money by voluntary contribution.

This first motion passed a meeting two
weeks ago, but, according to the consti-
tution, any assessment of more than 25
cents must pass two meetings before it
The motion of as-
sessment was not passed because it was

dent by which, in the future, the College
might call upon the Undergraduate Asso-
ciation to furnish or repair the buildings
at any time. But since the College is
again in debt this year and the need for
screens is so pressing, it was voted that
the Advisory Board consider paying for
them by contribution.

A motion was also passed that the rules
of the Association should be read at the
same time as that of the constitution,
within the first month of the first sem-
ester of each year.

The Association also voted to send to
the family of Katharine Reeves, '19, a res-
olution expressing sympathy and sorrow
at her death.

WATER-POLO TEAMS
“FIND EMPTY POOL



Like old Mother Hubbard who found
her cupboard bare, the Alumnew and Var-
sity water-polo teams found an empty
pool when they were ready to begin the
game on Saturday. Among the sugges-
tions which were offered for filling the
pool rapidly was to run water from the
fire hose in, but this was considered
slightly cold and any one who saw the
stream on the campus at a recent drill
will know that it is of a dark, muddy
color, Mr. Foley encouragingly said that
by 8 o'clock he could have three feet of
water. As no possible solution for the
difficulty could be found, the two teams
played a game of basket-ball, Varsity de-
feating the Alumne, 29-27.

The line-up for the basket-ball game
was:

Irresponsible, thoughtless voting is en-
tirely inexcusable in the small meetings
of college. associations when the business
has been aftnounced beforehand and it is
entirely dishonest when support does not
follow the vote through to its fulfilment.
Fifty-seven per cent of the members of
the Christian Association seem to have
endangered the business integrity of the
Association by not supporting the budget
passed unanimously in the fall. Many
can only give small amounts, but no
member should feel herself free from the
obligation to give something. We should
consider seriously the extreme need of all
philanthropic ‘enterprises, especially mis-
sions, at a time of war and we should
consider even more seriously the neces-
sity of living up to our pledges. Are we
failing to keep our promises in every-
thing, are we going to be backward in
giving to the “Garrett Memorial”, to
Bates and to all our undertakings, or is
some interest absorbing a disproportion-

ate amount of our resources? At any

rate we must consider carefully to which
we owe the first obligation and must
realize that we are bound to support what
we vote to undertake.

As elections come nearer and nearer,
we discuss again the question as to which
association is the most important.
Whether we believe that the Christian
Association, in standing for religion, is
more important than Self-Government,
which works for law, or not, we must ad-
mit one thing: The-officers of Self-Gov-
ernment bear upon their shoulders a
greater responsibility than the officers of
any other association. College Chapel,
and the courses on the Old and New Tes-
tament in the curriculum, supplement the
work of the Christian Association; the
Health Department and the Office will
cover any lapse of the Athletic Associa-
tion or of the Undergraduate Association.
Self-Government stands alone, and its
officers, on their own initiative, decide
the gravest matters. Yet in spite of this
fact, the Self-Government elections are
still permitted-to be postponed until after
all the others are finished.

This system might lead, and often has
led, to serious evils. Either the best Self-
Government officers have been given
other positions before’ Self-Government
elections come, or too many of the more
efficient members of the upper classes
have been given no office because opin-
fons differ as to the best person for
Self-Government. Thus the other asso-
ciations suffer from the present methods
as well as Self-Government.

The present order of elections has no
cause for existence except custom, and
custom is not enough excuse for any-
thing.





LETTERS TO THE EDITOR



THE COLLEGE NEWS









Less Than Half C. A. Members Pledge
Ty the Editor of ‘The College News”:

The results of the canvassing done by
the Finance Committee of the Christian
Association this year show that the As-
sociation will have to raise $350.00 more
before April 1st in order to meet its bud-
get. The budget for this year, made up
and approved by the Association, is $1585.
All of this sum must be raised by the vol-
untary pledges of the members except for
$178 surplus from the annual dues after
the running expenses have been paid.
This year the Association has been un-
usually backward in pledging. Of the 334
active members, only 145, or 43.4 per
cent, have pledged anything at all.

The committee is going to canvass this
week and next the mrembers who have
not. pledged at-alf and it is to be hoped
that they 1 find a more generous atti-
tude prevailing. Any further contribu- |
tions from those who have already
pledged something will bring us just so
much nearer $350.00. Since the budget is
made up each fall by the entire Associa-
tion and not by a chosen committee, each
member has a voice in deciding its sizé
and, once it is approved, she must feel

to meet it. The money pledged by the As-
sociation is all sent to answer the needs
of those who are almost completely de-
pendent upon us for support. Surely it is
the duty of each one of us to see that they
are not disappointed.

Candy To Be Sold at Plays
To the Editor of ‘‘The College News’’:

Candy will be sold at the “Mikado” and
class plays for the benefit of Bates Camp,
which is in a destitute state financially.
Last year nearly every one contributed
generously, while this year many have
refused to give anything. The committee
hopes to secure the remaining $400.00 by
candy sales and the further canvassing.
We founded the camp and we must sup-
port it.

RABBI WISE PLEADS FOR :
INTEGRITY OF INDIVIDUAL

te



“We ignore too often the significance of
personality”, said Rabbi Stephen Wise,
speaking Sunday night in the Chapel. “I
am pleading with you to-night that you
reverence your own souls. I am pleading
with you for the integrity of the indi-
vidual”.

Rabbi Wise spoke of what he called
the “tyranny of the many”, the thing
which is oppressing the individual. “We
believe too much in the power of num-
bers”, he said. “I can never help regret-
ting that in every tongue with which we
are acquainted there is some maxim such
as this: ‘The voice of the multitude is the
voice of God’”’.

Tyrannies of the Many

There are, Rabbi Wise pointed out, sev-
eral kinds of tyrannies, chief among
which are the tyranny of daily use and
habit, and the tyranny of the dead, “sub-
tle and insidious and almost irresistible
because there is a reverence for those
that were and are not in our presence”.
These tyrannies must be resisted, he said.
“If you yield to the world, if you accept
the commands of the world, if you bend
the knee to the many, what becomes of
your self-revering individual soul?

tain of your own soul. The world cannot

imprison it. I am pleading that your soul
shall be free and unfettered”.

PROFESSIONAL OPENINGS
FOR WOMEN TO BE DESCRIBED



Vocational Conference Saturday

Law, bond selling, agriculture, and
other professional openings for women
will be described in twenty-minute talks
by women engaged in various occupa-
tions, at the vocational conference in Tay-
lor on Saturday morning. After lunch the
students may meet the speakers infor-
mally at coffee in Pembroke. Three of
the speakers are Bryn Mawr graduates.

This conference is given annually un-
der the direction of Mrs. Smith by the
Christian Association, to give the stu-
dents, especially the Seniors, an idea of
the opportunities and exigencies of the
most important or the least understood
professions. Mrs. Smith secures speak-
ers who have had experience and who
understand well the points to be consid-
ered in choosing a profession. The pro-
gram will be posted in Taylor so that
those who can not attend the whole con-
ference may come to the part in which
they are most interested. The subject
and speakers are:

1. “Law as a Profession for Women”,
Miss Bertha Rembaugh, ’97, Attorney and
Councillor at Law.

2. “Medicine as a Profession for Wom-
en”, Dr. Martha Tracy, '98, Professor at
the Woman’s Medical College of Pennsyl-
vania.

3. “Scientific Agriculture for Women”,
Mrs. Edith Loring Fullerton, Director of
Experimental Farm Work for the Penn-
sylvania Railroad.

4. “Journalism for Women”, Miss Eliz-
abeth Jordan, Editor of “Harper’s Maga-
zine”.

5. “Secretarial Work for Women”, Miss
Clarissa Smith, 15, Secretary to the Pres-
ident of Drexel Institute.

6. “Real Estate and City Planning”,
Mrs. Hugh Ward, Vassar, 1902.

“Tea Room and Lunch Room Manage-
ment”, “Architecture and Interior Deco-
rating” and “Bond Selling” will be an-
nounced later.



Drama Too Pictorial
(Continued from Page 1).

that the mind is carried straight to the

drama itself.

“On the Elizabethan stage the scenery
was composed out of the mouths of the
actors. The stage of Shakespeare was
free as air in the matter of stage scenery.
In Sir H. B. Tree’s revival of ‘The Tem-
pest’, he turned it into a pantomime, se-
lecting the smallest children for the
storm scene to give distance and by the
rocking of the boat, making them actually
sick to give reality. Though the children
were sick”, said Mr. Housman disgust-
edly, “the public were not”. ;

Mr. Housman then turned from the
manner to the matter of the drama. “The
theme of modern drama”, he said, “is the
truckling worship of public opinion. Real
drama should begin where a man and his
God are at close grips, and show their
struggle. This is where modern drama
ends”.

Fighting Minority

Mr. Housman ended his constructive
criticism .by saying that we cannot go
back to past conditions. “Our drama”, he
said, “must be native and reflect modern
thought. That thought is: the thought of
a fighting minority”.

After the lecture Mr. Housman read his
one-act play, “The Snow Man,” and the
first part of “Prunella’’.

THREE MORE CHANCES TO SWIM



Qualifications for First Place Decided



The times for the two speed swims and
the length for the swim under water and
the plunge for distance, have been defi-
nitely decided upon. The Board worked
out these figures. from the results of the
meet, but have been unable to decide on
times and lengths for second and third
class until a great number of people have
tried out so that an average can be taken.

There will be three more opportunities
for those who wish to try out for the |
various classes, March 28th and April 4th
and llth, but times which have. been
made in the meet will count.

The qualifications for the
classes as they now stand are:

SINGLE CAMPAIGN FOR MEMORIAL |

Dnerneeneneeneren

The $10,000 which the undergraduates
intend to contribute towards the sum for
the Garrett Memorial will be raised, ac-
cording to the present plan, this year.

in error in stating that half the sum would
be raised this spring and half next year.

class committees which are headed by the
members of the original Garrett Memorial
Committee. These committees are: 1916,
L. Dillingham, chairman; R. Lautz, C.
Kellen, M. Branson, A. Sears. 1917, G.
Malone, chairman; M. Scattergood, A.

for the Classes of 1909 through 1916,
showed that both the number and the per
cent of grades above 80 in the Class of
1916 are the lowest they have ever been
during the eight years in which statistics
of these grades have been compiled. The
same is true of the highest grade in the
class, 87.32; but the median grade, 75.98,
is almost average, the lowest median
grade being 74.27, 1911, and the highest,
77.37, 1912. 1915 is second highest with
a median grade of 77.08; 1915 holds first
place in the highest grade, that of last
year’s Buropean Fellow, 92.44.

Scholarship Alone Has Lasting Value

President Thomas closed her address
with an appeal to the students for the
scholarship of Bryn Mawr. She said:

“I wish to appeal once more to you as
students of Bryn Mawr College—the Col-
lege that stands above all, as we like to
think, for scholarship. The College has
been able to do a great deal in raising
the standard of women’s scholarship be-
cause in a college exclusively for women
we have been able to maintain the high-
est standards of teaching and study from
our entrance examinations throughout
our College course to our final examina-
tions. I believe that the faculty of Bryn
Mawr College has never lowered for one
moment our standard of academic excel-
lence.

“] want to ask you as students of
Bryn Mawr College and as products of its
training to praise scholarship on all occa-
sions. Do not fall into the prevailing
slipshod way of pretending that other
things in a college are as important as
scholarship. Nothing else is as impor-
tant. Athletics come and go and pass.
You cannot do athletics when you get
older except spasmodically and intermit-
tently. You cannot act in plays when you
leave the College except rarely and very
poorly; but wherever you are and what-
ever you are doing you can use the aca-
demic and scholarly training which you
have received at Bryn Mawr College. If
you cannot be scholars yourself you can
honour and glorify the scholarship of
other men and women, especially of
women, wherever you find it. You can
help other women who are inspired with
a love of study to get an opportunity for
study. If you do this one thing alone I
shall feel that your education will be
justified. No democracy or republic can
exist unless it is founded on knowledge
and wisdom and the support of those who
love and honour knowledge and wisdom.”

EXPRESSIVENESS BASIS OF ART



- Russian Ballet in. Philadelphia

hileff which is coming to Philadelphia
next week is one phase of the great
radical movement which is taking place
in Europe. It is a new kind of ballet
entirely. It follows no_ fixed absolute
rules of dancing. It turns away from the
stereotyped forms and conventionality of
the old Italian school, while it does not
go so far as the extreme naturalness of
the life school of Isadora Duncan. The
main thing which the new ballet strives
after is expressiveness. In its choice of
steps and decoration it follows life, bor-
rowing from Russian folk dances, or
copies from statuary and pictures. In
presenting “Le Coq d’Or”’ M. Fokine
studied old Russian chap books and broad-
sides. For “L’Apres Midi d’un Faune” he
went back to Etruscan bas relief.
Increased Importance of Music

M. Fokine says, writing in the “New
York Times”: “The new ballet, refusing
to be the slave either of music or of
scenic decoration, and recognizing the al-
liance of the arts only on the condition
of complete equality allows perfect free-
dom both to the scenic artist and to the
musician. It accepts any kind of music,
provided only that it is good and expres-
sive”. :

Scenery Designed by Bakst

The scenery and costumes for the bal-
lets have been designed for the most part
by Leon Bakst, and the music used is by
such composers as Tcherepnine, Chopin,
Schumann and Tschaikowski. It is one
of the great achievements ofthe new bal-
let that it succeeds in blending several of
the arts. By abandoning the old method
of using ballet music as an accompani-
ment, it makes the music as important
as the dancing, and the perfect arrange-
ment and vivid and original use of color

part in a brilliant and harmonious whole.

Basket-ball practice will begin this Sat-
