GYMNASIUM SHIELD WON BY 1918



Mr. Bishop Praises Apparatus Work



For the first time in four years an even
class won the gymnasium contest when
1918 defeated 1919 by 25% points on Fri-
day afternoon. The judges were: Miss
Stone, from Miss Wright’s School; Mr.
Bishop, of Haverford School, and Mr.
Himmelsbach, of the Westchester Y. M.
C: A.

An innovation this year was the free-
arm drill given by one of the judges, Mr
Himmelsbach, whose methods the com-
petitors did not know. This drill differed
from the others in that it had not been
learned by heart, but was entirely new.
In this the Sophomores and Freshmen
were equally good, while the Sophomores
won everything else except the ropes,
which they lost by only one point.

Mr. Bishop said that the apparatus
work this year was better than any he
had seen in the former competitions.
1918, drilled by M. McKenzie, far excelled
the Freshmen on the horse and on the
parallel bars, where each person kept in
perfect time with the others. 1918 kept
up the even class tradition and won the
group on the parallel bars, which, though
comparatively few people were used, was
remarkably effective.

The Seniors and Juniors gave an ex-
hibition of dancing, the first dance being
composed and drilled by A. Werner.
Fourteen Juniors also gave an exhibition
of fencing.

RESULTS OF 1918 COMPETITIONS



K. Holliday, M. Stair, F. Buffum Win



As a result of 1918’s competitions, K.
Holliday has been elected to the Editorial
Board of “The News”, and M. Stair and
F. Buffum haye been made Assistant Busi-
ness Managers for next year. These are
the last competitions that “The News”
- will have this year. Barly next fall an-
other Editor from 1918 will be chosen.





FIRST SONG BOOK ADDITION
SINCE 1911



‘Novelty in Border Designs

The first addition to the song book
since 1911 is to come out this year. The
song books are always sold for the bene-
fit of the Students’ Building Fund. 4H.
Robertson, ’16, is chairman of the Stu-
dents’ Building Committee.

Besides their class songs, each class
was asked to choose one or two songs to
be published. 1914 has decided upon
“Hey-ho for a Husband”, and “The Pallid
Stars Are Blurring’; 1915 has chosen
“Aloha”, and an oral song “Hordes of
Sorry Seniors”; 1916 their “Farewell Song
to 1914”; and 1917 “Mice and Men”. All
the remaining classes have only their
class songs so far but additions to this

_| list will probably be made later.

B. Russell, '17, is making the designs for
all the borders except that for 1915, which
V. Litchfield, '17, is doing, and 1916's
which C. Wilcox, '17, is doing. The
border for 1913 is an adaptation from the
Pan-Athenaic vases of ancient Greece,
while the design for 1916 represents
oysters fastened to the sea floor and fish
swimming above them. Throughout all
the designs there is a bolder use of black
than heretofore.

APRIL FOOLS’ DAY EXHIBIT OF ART



A collection of clever art fakes will be
placed on public exhibition, at the Penn-
sylvania Museum in Fairmount Park,
April ist, to teach the general public to
avoid being “stung”. An imitation Sevres
tea set, 18th century relics of Capo Monti,
Spanish work of the 16th century and
many paintings of the old masters will
be viewed by the connoisseurs. ‘The ex-
hibition is the first of its kind in the
world. The collection is not worth more
than several hundred dollars but the
promoters hope that it will be worth sev-

eral thousands in the education of the’

public against spurious art objects”. The

*|exhibit will be mainly fakes with some

genuine articles for comparison.

GENUINE FIRST EDITIONS
ILLUSTRATE SHAKESPEARE TALK



The first of the Bryn Mawr celebrations
of the Shakespeare tercentennial was
given Saturday night in Taylor by Mr.
George A. Plimpton’s lecture on “School
Books in the Time of Shakespeare”. Mr.
Plimpton is the head of the well-known
publishing house, Ginn & Company, and
has the largest collection of early text-
books in the world.

After the lecture he allowed the audi-
ence to examine the rare old volumes and
priceless first editions which he had
brought from New York to illustrate his
talk.

A picture called the “Tower of Knowl-
edge” furnishes much of the proof as to
what text-bodks were used in Shake
speare’s time. It shows a tower built of
the various books which then represented
a complete course of study. The first of
these, a book at the base of the tower,
is a horn book from which the children
learned their letters. A horn book con-
sists of a flat piece of board or metal on
which are the cross, the alphabet, the
vowels, an exorcism, and the Lord's
Prayer. Horn books are exceedingly rare
now. There are only twenty-nine in
existence and of these Mr. Plimpton owns
twenty-three.

C. A. REORGANIZED



Class To Be Unit Under New Constitution



That the class should be the unit in the
organization of the Christian Association
was the decision of the meeting held on

Monday evening. Under the five officers’

of the Association, who are the central
power, will be a cabinet composed of the
representatives elected by each class for
each committee. Owing to the radical na-
ture of the changes to be made, it was
moved that the final decision be post-
poned until a second meeting. This was
defeated, but the other motions as drawn
up by the committee on investigation
passed practically unanimously.
Freshmen are to be considered ipso
facto members of the Association until
December, when they will choose a com-
mittee who will canvass their class for
regular members, under the instruction
of the Membership Committee. The same
system will be used for the enrollment of
graduates. The vice-president of the As-
sociation is no longer necessarily the
chairman of the Membership Committee.

Officers To Be Central Power

The executive power of each commit-
tee is to_rest with four_members from
each class to be chosen by the Christian
Association members of that class. The
chairman of each committee, who will be
chosen by the officers from the class rep-
resentatives, is responsible for carrying
out the plans of the committee and is to
call the meeting.

A majority vote of these class repre-
sentatives is to decide the policy of the
committee and when a deadlock occurs
the matter is to be decided by the officers
of the Association. The Central Board
may request at any time the resignation
of one of the class representatives whose
work has been unsatisfactory. The Cen-
tral Board is to meet with the heads of
each committee and with the heads of all
the committees collectively at least once
a semester, in a cabinet meeting.

The graduate students will choose their
own committee and its chairman, which
will meet with the other committees and
with the officers.

No Evangelical Basis

The basis of the Federation Commit-
tee, which was evangelical church mem-
bership, has been abolished, but the pur-
pose of the committee remains, to bring
the College students into touch with their
churches, with other college Christian As-
sociations, and to keep them in touch
with the world Student Christian Federa-
tion and the Y. W. C. A. on its new basis.
This change was proposed at a meeting
of the committee several months ago and
was made part of the constitution at the
meeting last night.

“In trying to get at the causes of the
criticism of the old organization”, said A.

Grabau, the Chairman on the Committee
for Investigation, “it seemed that the par-
tial failure has been due to the autocratic
system of government by the board. It is
hoped that the stress on the responsibil-
ity of the individual through her class,
and the opportunity for more complete
representation, will keep the Association
in intimate contact with all the College
interests. This is the most significant
change in the Association since its or-

ganization in 1910”.





WOMEN GOOD ADVERTISEMENT,
SAYS MISS CARPENTER



Hogs and Flowers Bring Large Incomes



“Women of the present day have enor-
mous publicity value”, said Miss Carpen-
ter at the Vocational Conference on Sat-
urday morning, describing the position of
women in business and in particular in
bond selling. “Though men have always
said ‘women are poor losers’, women
have made good in bond selling because
they are in the main more conscientious
than men”.

Law, as described by Miss Bertha Rem-
baugh, ’97, is unlike bond selling in that
it requires the exclusive interest .and en-
tire time of the woman, who has the odds
against her. :

Miss Fullerton claimed that agriculture
brings large financial returns to those
who have the knack for it; an acre of
cabbages yields a net gain of $300 a year,
and good breed hogs and greenhouse flow-
ers sometimes sell for fabulous sums.

Mrs. Frank Watson, of Haverford,
spoke on volunteer social work; Dr.
Tracy, '97, of the Woman’s Medical Col-
lege, Philadelphia, outlined the best prep-
aration for medicine; Miss Sellers, of the
“Ladies’ Home Journal”, described maga-
zine work, and Miss Butcher, of the Phil-
adelphia Bureau of Occupations for
Women, told how to apply for a job. Miss
Clarissa Smith, '15, told of the wide scope
of secretarial work.

TRIAL BY FIRE



Seniors Keep Cool Amid Flames



Crackling flames greeted two students
on entering the studio where they had
gone to have their Senior pictures taken.
Drawing nearer they perceived tongues
of fire shooting up a velvet drop. With
calm precision they summoned the pho-
tographer from the dark room and told
him that his place was on fire. “We shall
return”, they said, as he rang in the
alarm, “when it is put out”.

SENIORS HOLD MOCK GYM DRILL



A motley crowd of Seniors, represent-
ing many characters, including Ishould-
weara Toga and Honorable wife, Siamese
Twins, etc., held their last- gymnasium
drill the other night. Led by Little Boy
Blue they performed many stunts which
would have taxed the minds and limbs
of the wisest. L. Klein danced so grace-
fully that she revived tender memories
in the hearts of many, and E. Strauss
showed great agility and speed in running
backwards. As a climax, Miss Applebee
gave a stirring speech, telling of the many
athletic triumphs of 1916 and other mem-
orable events of their College career.

SHAKESPEARE RECITAL



As the second celebration of the
Shakespeare anniversary, Mr. King will
give a dramatic recital of Shakespeare
on April 17th, the Monday evening before
vacation. The selections will probably
not all be taken from one play, but will
cover both the comedies and tragedies,
choosing characteristic parts from each.

The Shakespeare Committee will an-
nounce further plans later. The commit-
tee is: Dr. Brown, chairman; Dr. Chew,
Dr. Savage, Miss King, and Mr. Car-
penter.

There are many statesmen who regret
the fact that national spirit exists, yet
none would neglect the divisions among
men. In the same way many of us lament
class spirit, feeling that it works against
the best interests of the College; never-
theless, we accept it, and those who wish
to encourage enthusiasm in athletics or
to raise large sums of money find it a
convenient tool for their purposes.

The Christian Association has for sev-
eral years tended to accept the necessity
of recognizing class spirit to attain effi-
ciency. Two years ago it was felt that
adequate class representation on the
Board was essential for proper interest
in the Association, and a Freshman was
put on the Board and the number of
Sophomores increased. Last year the
Board was chosen from candidates nomi-
nated by the classes. The reorganization
along class lines which took place on
Monday evening is the logical outcome of
these measures.

Undoubtedly the Association has chosen
the best way to get wider support, but it
incurs one great risk. We'do not want
four class Christian Associations. We
want four executive units, but one enthu-
siasm.

G. K. Chesterton’s haunting little lyric,
entitled “The Shakespeare Memorial’, is
particularly fitting at this time of
Shakespeare’ tercentennials. For the
benefit of our less well-read readers, we
reprint the first exquisite lines:

“Lord Lilac thought it rather rotten

That Shakespeare should be quite for-
gotten,

And therefore got on a Committee

With several chaps out of the city.

And while the vain world careless sped—

Unheeding the heroic name—

The souls most fed with Shakespeare’s
flame

Still sat unconquered in a ring,

Remembering him like anything”.

It is to be regretted that Bryn Mawr
has wandered so far from the Chesterto-
' Mian ideal. “Remembering him like any-
thing”! How little of that reminiscent
mood will be felt in three hundred years
toward the old constitution of the Chris-
tian Association, for instance, or towards
the‘once famous Trophy Club.

BASKET-BALL AND TRACK
SEASON OPENS



Outdoor athletics, track and basket-
ball, have begun this week. The lower
hockey fleld has been laid out into four
basket-ball fields and all the necessary
track paraphernalia has been arranged.
The track house has been moved from the
far side of the field to the terrace at the
end of the path coming down from the
campus. The new field will not be used
at all as it is to be seeded so that it will
be good for hockey in the fall.

has been given her for that purpose.

“I am going to understate rather than
overstate some things, for I do not
wish to seem to draw a bit on my
imagination. One hospital which I visited
has no water except in the garden, and
the infirmieres must carry up every drop
even to the third story. Even the mede-
cin-Chef said that the beds were impos-
sible for wounded, the mattresses being
something thin and lumpy in a ticking
hardly two inches thick. They had no
pillows also, and begged for them for the
gravely wounded. Here, too, they asked
for beef-juice or some similar dainty and
fortifying fare, for, as the infirmiere re-
marked, ‘Boiled meat and potatoes da
not tempt those who are enfeebled from
long. suffering, and we find it nearly im-
possible to get anything else’.

“Clothing is needed too, especially
socks and woollen things, pillows, gauze,
and cotton—but above all else surgical
appliances large and small. If people ask
what they can knit, say socks. Every-
where we are asked for them, large size,
because they shrink. No one asks for
scarfs or slings any more”.

Money for the Emergency Fund should
be given to me or sent to The French
Wounded Emergency Fund, 34 Lowndes
Square, London. In either case those who
give any sum_of money to the French
will receive a letter telling how it has
been spent.

E. Houghton, 718.

FOR THE POLISH BABIES!



Alumna to Speak on Preparedness
for Women



The Honorable Mrs. Bertrand Russell,
who will speak Saturday afternoon in the
chapel on “Preparedness of Women for
Peace or War”, is a Bryn Mawr graduate
of the Class of 1890. Mrs. Russell has al-
ways been interested in social questions,
especially in their bearing upon children.
She is Chairman of the St. Pancreas
School for Poor Mothers, President of the
Abingdon British Women’s Temperance
Association, and a member of the com-
mittee of the National Women’s Suffrage
Societies of England.

Mrs. Russell’s talk on preparedness, il-
lustrated from the experience of women
in the present war, is for the benefit of
the babies of Polish refugees in Petro-
grad. Admission for members of the col-
lege is twenty-five cents, for outsiders
fifty cents. Contributions and pledges
may be given to the ushers at the door.
This lecture is to be given under the aus-
pices of the Bible and Mission Study Class
of the C. A., and also of the Red Cross
Committee.

Genuine First Editions Illustrate Shake-
peare Talk

(Continued from Page 1) _

Plimpton read some extracts from

16th century books for the “guidance of

Mr.
schoolmasters”. All of them advised
Latin at an early age, one writer suggest-

ing that the child’s nurse speak Latin
and “give him things he especially de-

sires only when he asks for them in

Latin”. The same writer, Thomas Elliot,
says to “guard the child against over-
work”.

Roger Ascham, in the “Schoolmaster”,
proposed the practise of translating the
morning’s sermon into Latin as a school-
room exercise. Ascham was tutor to
Queen Elizabeth and said that she read
“more Greek in a day than a churchman
does Latin in a week”. Mr. Plimpton

owns the first edition, 1507, of the
“Schoolmaster’”’.
Besides the books, Mr. Plimpton

showed a copy of a new portrait of
Shakespeare which he recently discov-
ered. The portrait is dated 1610 and is
signed Lynde. Mr. Plimpton has discov-
ered an artist of the period named Lyn,
but.so far no “Lynde” has turned up.

GIRLS TO COMPETE WITH BOYS

DESTRUCTION OF LOUVAIN
OFFENDS CIVILIZATION



“The burning of the University of Lou-| mcr

vain is a crime against our civilization,
our art and our science”, said Mr. Albert
Carnoy, former professor at that univer-
sity, now a professor at the University of
Pennsylvania. Mr. Carnoy spoke of the
important part the Belgian university has
always played as an educational center,
from the time of its founding in the fif-
teenth century, and told of the courses in
science, philosophy, and theology for
which the university has been famous up
to the time of the war, especially the sci-
ence. ,

He said that when the Germans came
to the city someone saw their prepara-
tions and called to them to stop, but that
with the aid of chemicals and bombs the
institution of learning, with its beautiful
buildings and priceless documents, was
burned.

“The fact that the German professors
gave their troops complete absolution
after this horrible deed” said Mr. Car-
noy, “made us despair for a time of any
brotherly feeling which might exist be-



tween academic institutions, but since
the proofs of generosity shown us in our

out of a group of fundamental subjects.

M. MACKENZIE BEST IN APPARATUS



Held Third Place Last Year



M. Mackenzie won the-.apparatus cup
which was presented last year by Mary
Morgan, ex-’15, for the best apparatus
work in the Sophomore or Freshman
Class at the second competition held on
Saturday. L.T. Smith was a close second,
being only three points behind the winner.
Though there were as few entries as last
week the work was very much better as
each competitor showed skill, and in most
cases excellent form. This cup was won
last year by G. Bryant, ex-’17, while M.
Mackenzie held third place.

The exercises on the ropes, horse and
parallel bars were set beforehand by the
judges while on the horse and bars each
competitor offered an exercise composed
by herself and also had to follow an ex-
ercise set at the time by one of the
judges. The judges were: Miss Wesson;
F. Kellogg, M. G. Branson, 1916; M. Scat-
tergood and E. Hemenway, 1917. Those
who entered were: M. Mackenzie, H,
Hammer, L. T. Smith, 1918; H. Spauld
ing, A. Stiles, 1919.

WOMAN ROGUE INSPIRES FICTION



Additions to New Book Room



Among the books to go into the New
Book Room this week are several of
fairly recent publication and great: inter-.
est. The Mary Carleton Narratives, col-
lected by Bernbaum, are stories and
groups of facts concerning the life of the
first “woman rogue” in English fiction.
The famous Mary Carleton was a woman
of extraordinary personality, who lived
from about 1635 to 1673. She spent her
life in a series of petty crimes and was
finally hanged for theft. This collection
of narratives contains facts and stories
taken from the numerous biographies
written by herself and others. She is in-
teresting as a literary imposter and
woman. thief, and is important for the
contribution which the numerous stories
about her have made to the fiction of her
day.

Feminism in Germany and Scandinavia
is an attempt to bring the woman move-
ment of those countries into closer touch
with that of our own English-speaking
nations. This book shows the woman of
Germany and Scandinavia in her relation
with education, schools, economic condi-
tions, her dress reforms and her phil-
osophy.

In connection with Social Hconomy
is Louise de Koven Bowen’s Safeguards
for City Youth at Work and at Play.

Jane Addams, in the preface, says that
the aim of the work is to show the care- }
less and sordid conditions after which
so many young people are now living in |
the great cities, and the attempt of a}
small group of citizens in the city of Chi- |
cago to better them. While this book
tells specifically of the conditions in Chi-
cago, it is typical of any of our great
cities.
