“IDEAL HUSBAND”
ALMOST PROFESSIONAL



Finished Acting Due to Dr: Savage



The opinion of critics that “The Ideal
Husband” of Oscar Wilde defies anything
but professional acting was disproved
last week in the Junior-Senior Supper
Play. The difficulties of a serious comedy
of modern life are usually considered be-
yond the reach of an amateur company,
especially when it includes no men. 1917’s
finished acting, however, showed that in
this case it was really worth while to at-
tempt something more exacting than the
ordinary college performance and did
credit to Dr. Savage’s skill as a coach.

The important fact that the play began
well and steadily grew better was due
partly to the playwright, but mainly to
the chief actors. Viscount Goring, with
principles which he concealed beneath
the flippancy of a “flawless dandy”, was
excellently done by M. O’Shea. Miss
O’Shea’s skillful transitions from the triv-
ial to the serious and her faculty: of al-
ways making herself felt on the stage,
were particularly effective in the dramatic
scene where Mrs. Chevely steals the
letter.

The part of Mrs. Chevely, the clever
and unscrupulous adventuress, was acted
with great poise by C. Wilcox. In the
moments of intensest interest she never
forgot her languid manner and sinuous
poses. A type exactly opposite was C.
Hall as Lady Chiltern, with her high
ideals and strict principles. Her musical
voice and “grave Greek beauty”, as the
stage directions have it, perhaps contrib-
uted as much to her charm as her inter-
pretation of a difficult emotional part.

The role of the ideal husband, Sir Rob-

STATEMENT OF FACTS REGARDING
RECENT ATTACKS ON B. M.
Question of Faculty Co-operation Sub-
mitted to Directors .



The following statement has been made
up from information prepared for publica-
tion in the forthcoming “Alumne Quar-
terly” and extracts taken from President
Thomas’ reply to the newspaper attacks
in the “Public Ledger” of April 12th.

Statement of the Academic Committee
of the Alumne Assbciation of Bryn Mawr,
dated April Ist:

“The subject which the Academic Com-
mittee was asked to study during the
coming year is already under discussion
at Bryn Mawr, namely, the question of
faculty coéperation in the matter of reap-
pointments and dismissals.

“During the past year the question of
academic freedom, tenure of office, etc.,
has been very widely discussed through-
out the country. The American Associa-
tion of University Professors has recently
brought home to the public, through its
admirable reports, the fact that the pres-
ent organization of our colleges and uni-
versities is autocratic—a survival of the
closed corporation era which is every-
where under scrutiny and criticism. Pres-
ident Thomas brought the report of this
association to the attention of the Confer-
ence of the Women Trustees of the Asso-
ciation of Collegiate Alumne in February,
with the recommendation that the Trus-
tees should make it the subject of study
during the coming year. The same re-



port was in January referred for study to |
the Executive Committee of the Board of |
Directors of Bryn Mawr College. A com-
mittee of this board was recently formed |
to consider the question. It will confer
with representatives of the faculty with
a view to adopting some modification of
the existing system. One of the alumnez
directors has been appointed to this com-
mittee and the Academic Committee holds
itself ready to communicate to the Col-|
lege any suggestions which individual |
alumng may wish to contribute”.

In the “Public Ledger” for April 12th}
President Thomas states:



standing of the ‘Public Ledger’. Bryn |
Mawr had begun to consider reforming it- |
self long before the ‘Public Ledger’s’ at-
tention had been called to the so-called |
Holbrook and Crandall cases. It was at
the January meeting of the Board of Di-
rectors that the report of the American
Association of University Professors deal-
ing with the whole question of codpera-
tion between trustees and faculties Was |
referred to our Executive Committee tor |

tive of the alumne or faculty, but by the

A. WERNER RETIRES FROM UNDER-| (0°

GRADUATE PRESIDENCY



As the presidency of the Undergraduate
Association changes hands a word of ap
preciation is due to the retiring head,
Adeline Werner ‘16. She was president
of her class, Sophomore year, head of the
Employment Bureau 1914-1915, hall repre-
sentative for four years, and on the
Varsity hockey team for two years. As
president of the Undergraduate Associa
tion Miss Werner has dealt efficiently
with all the problems presented to her.
She has revived the Student Council, has
been influential in maintaining a low
standard of cutting, and has recently or-
ganized the committees for raising money



for the Garrett Memorial.

MAY DAY DIRECTLY AFTER RECESS



. Eleven Scholarships to be Awarded



The winners of the undergraduate
scholarships for the year 1916-17 will be
announced on May Day which comes, this
year, four days after the spring vacation.
There are eleven scholarships, three for
1919, three for 1918, two for 1917, one in
American History which may go to either

|1917 or 1918, and two which may go to

any class.

The James E. Rhoades Memorial Schol-
arships of the value of $250 each are the
highest. One goes to 1918 and one to
1919.

All the scholarships except two require
that the candidate be in need of financial
assistance in order to complete her col-
lege course. Of these one is the Maria L.
Eastman Brooke Hall Memorial Scholar-
ship of the value of $100 which is awarded
on the ground of scholarship alone to a
member of the Junior class. The other
is the scholarship in American History of
the value of $60 which is awarded to a
Sophomore or Junior on condition that the
holder devote to the study of American
History at least four hours a week for
one year during the last two years of her
college course. The candidate is selected
by the faculty on the ground of excel-
lence in scholarship.

SHAKESPEARE RECITAL
BY MR. KING



Program Duplicates London Perform.
ance

The second Bryn Mawr celebration of | .
the Shakespeare tercentennial was the |

Shakespeare recital given yesterday even-
| ing in Taylor by Mr. Samuel Arthur King. |
Mr. King’s program was practically the |
same as that given by him several years

| ago at the New Royal Theatre, London.

“Mr. Samuel Arthur King”,
to the Royalty’s bill at that time, “was |
trained for seven years in elocution by |
the late Professor John Millard, of the

Royal Academy of Music and Royal Col- |
“T should like to correct one misunder- \lege of Music, London, and in ‘le geste et |

laction théatrale’ by M. and Mme. Petit, |

| stage managers of many of Fechter’s pro- |
ductions; his vocal instructors were Mr.

| Henry Blower and the late Signor Cara-

voglia. After several years on the stage
Mr. King proceeded at the University of
London to the B.A. degree with honours

lin English, and in 1900 the M.A. degree
|in English was awarded him”.

Owing to the fact that the “News” went
}to press Monday morning no critical no-
| tice of the recital was possible. The
| program, in order to show the different

aspects of Shakespeare’s work, included |

selections from the tragedies, the histor-
and one comedy, the “Mer-

chant of Venice”. It was:

“Henry VIII’, Act II, Se. 1,
Buckingham's Farewell
“Romeo and Juliet”, Act I, Sc. 4,
Mercutio’s Description of Queen Mab
“Richard III”, Act I, Sc. 4,
Clarence’s Dream
“Merchant of Venice”, Act I, Sc. 3,
Scene between Shylock, Bassanio
and Antonio.

Speech on Sleep |

1917 WINS TRACK MEET
TWO RECORDS BROKEN



H. Harris Individual Champion



The one track meet of the year was
won last Saturday by 1917 with 58%
points, 34 of which were gained by H.
Harris, the individual champion, who
broke the College records for standing
high jump and hop, step and jump, and
equalled the record for the running high
jump. 1919 won second place with 38
points. A. Stiles, the second individual
champion, made 23 of them. 1918, secur-
ing 36 2/3 points, gained third place, and
P. Turle, with 18 points, was third indi-
vidual champion.

Freshmen Victorious in Dashes

In the dashes A. Stiles distinguished
herself particularly, winning two and
tying for first place in a third, and tying
for first in both hurdles, M. Peacock ran
up her class scores by winning first in the
baseball and basket-ball throws. 1916
had two first places, standing broad, C.
Dowd, and a tie in the hundred-yard hur-
dle by F. Kellogg. M. Strauss ‘18, won
the javelin throw, and P. Turle ‘18, tied
for first in the sixty-yard hurdles.

Jumping Most Noteworthy Feature

H. Harris’ record-breaking jumping was
the chief interest of the meet. In the run-.
ning high she equalled the record made in
1912 by L. Mudge ’15, of 4 ft. 4 in.; in the
| Standing high, broke F. Crenshaw '12’s

HARVARD STADIUM .
FOR COMMENCEMENT



The board of overseers of Harvard has
| lately authorized President Lowell to use
| the Stadium for the Commencement exer-
|cises instead of Sanders Theatre. San-
(ders Theatre, which is—only a—room—in
| Memorial Hall, has. been found entirely
|inadequate for the graduating class and
| their friends for several years past and
| the Stadium was suggested as a remedy.
| The exercises will take place on June 22d.



WOMEN START MILITARY CAMP



| A “women’s Plattsburg’”’ has been ar-
| ranged by the League for National Serv-
ice to be run on strictly military lines
under the direction of the Navy at Chevy
Chase, Maryland. There will be two
courses during May, each two weeks long.
The “Rookies”, as the recruits are called,
will wear khaki uniforms and are re-
quired to take military drill. The quota
for the entire month is nearly filled; two
hundred can be accommodated at once.

Courses in Surgery and Wigwagging

Courses will be given in surgical ban-
daging, running ambulance automobiles,
wigwagging; camp cooking, plain sewing,
‘and American History. Except for two
hours of freedom in the afternoon the
campers will live on a. strict schedule.
They will sleep in tents and eat army
rations. The expenses of the stay of two
weeks, including the cost of the uniform
|and board, fifteen dollars, is less than
‘thirty dollars, The camp will be divided
| into four companies of fifty each and five
|squads of ten each for the purpose of
drilling.

Mrs. George Dewey is the honorary
|commandant of the camp. Baltimore has

We reprint from the Yale Record the
following poem apropos of the retirement
of last year’s board.

THE OLD BOARD GOES
“What are the bugles blowin’ for?” the
youthful heeler cried.
“To tura them out, to turn them out”,
the old, wise Owl replied.
“What makes you look so white, so
white?” the youthful heeler cried.
“I’m dreadin’ what I’ve got to watch”,
the old, wise Owl replied.
For they’re turnin’ of the old board
out,
You can ‘ear the Dead March play,
_ The office is in ‘ollow square—they’re
turnin’ 'em out to-day.
They've taken their positions off and
got their power away,
For the old board it is passin’ in
the mornin’.

“They always took my art.and drool”, the
youthful heeler cried.
“The new board’s always hard and
stern”, the old, wise Owl replied.
“They gave us beer a score of times”,
the youthful heeler cried.
“Ms bitter beer we'll get to-night”,
the old, wise Owl replied.
For they're turning of the old board
out,
They've done with ’em to-day.
The new board it’s in office and it’s
marchin’ 'em away.
The new board it’s in office and now
it’s in to stay,
For the old board it is passin’ in
the mornin’.

In view of the heated and confused dis-
cussions among the students of the recent
attacks upon the administration of Bryn
Mawr the statement appearing in this
issue of the “News” has been made.

It will, it is hoped, help to straighten
out some of the conflicting reports which
have lately swept through the College.
That such discussions should be confused

is natural, in view of the fact that the)

students know practically nothing of the
way in which academic affairs are ad-
ministered. That they do occur is proof
that undergraduates are interested, but
such interest should have facts for a
foundation.

Could not the various academic appoint-
ments and reappointments, changes of po-
sitions and all such business of adminis-
tration as effects the students be an-
nounced immediately? Could not some
such method be devised by which the stu-
dents might have the facts and thereby
obviate such fruitless argument?

CONFERENCES FOR ALUMNI TO BE
HELD AT COLUMBIA



Plans are being made for conferences
im psychelegy, anthropology, and other
subjecta, at Columbia, to which only the
former students will be invited. The
conferences will be held in June. It is

expected that they will call back to the
campus many who might not otherwise
come and will be of great value in stimu-
lating the men in their particular lines of
work.



Statement of Facts Regarding thewbiit
: Attacks on B. M.
~ (Continued from Page t)

bens tele th was th Debreary ti that the
President of the College brought this
same report before a conference of sixteen’
women trustees of colleges where women
study, which was held in New York, and
led the discussion for an hour and a half,
asking to have further study of the report
made the order of business at the next
conference.

“It was more recently, toward the end
of March, that some of the professors of
Bryn Mawr College addressed a letter to

be more closely associated with the man-
agement of the College. ‘This letter was
presented at a special meeting of the di-
rectors of the College called March 30th,
at the request of the President of the Col-
lege, with a statement that she entirely
sympathized with the general movement
and a committee of five directors was ap-
pointed to confer with the full professors.

“New appointments”, President Thomas
continues, “failures of reappointment at
the end of engagements made for a lim-
ited term of one, two, or three years, are
brought before college trustees by college
presidents in almost all colleges in the
United States.

“The whole system is radically wrong.
Professors should be made to share our
burden with us. Trustees and college
presidents should no longer’ shoulder.
alone the responsibility of maintaining
the teaching and research of any given
college at the highest possible level. Let
their fellow professors help to turn such
misfits into less harmful activities. I
confidently believe that the college pro-
fessors of the country would rise to these
responsibilities if they were placed on
them. It is my hope that at Bryn Mawr
we shall be able to solve this most diffi-
cult problem of all college administration
in a way adapted to our individual needs.
For many years Yale has, been trying to
work it out in its own way with both good
and bad results. The University of Penn-
sylvania is putting another plan in opera-
tion this year. It is a thoroughly modern
movement in college education, and I
believe a right one’.

At the request of the “News” the Presi-
dent of the College states that neither in
the Executive Committee nor the Board of
Directors has there been any suggestion
that the decisions of the Board should be
reviewed. The facts are these: Dr. How-
ard J. Savage has been appointed Asso-
ciate Professor of English Rhetoric and
Director of English Composition; Dr. Re-
gina K. Crandall continues her work in
English Composition at the same salary
which she was receiving as Director of
English Essay Work and has been pro-
moted to be Associate in English Rhetoric
with a seat in the faculty: Three other
Readers in English have accepted reap-
pointments and will continue their work
in College. Miss Shearer has accepted a
position at Smith College in her own field
of work, Philosophy and Education. Dr.
Arthur R. Moore, Associate Professor of
Physiology, has informed the President
and the Board of Directors that he is not
a candidate for reappointment. The Er-
ecutive Committee of the Directors has
voted to continue the work in Italian with |
Modern French Literature and hopes to

the President of the College, asking to |.

ert Chiltern, requires a man, and even’ H. |
Harris could not completely bring out the
essentially masculine power of the am-
bitious statesman. N. McFaden, although
she did not quite create Wilde’s “apple-
blossom type” in Mabel Chiltern, acted,
herself, delightfully.

S. Hinde, with her genial flow of con-
versation, carried out Lady Markby’s
happy unconsciousness of the strained
situation between Lady Chiltern and Mrs.
Chevely, in Act II especially well. Of
the other minor characters, the Earl of
Caversham, D. M. Bird, was amusing but
not sufficiently aristocratic. BE. Seelye
was a true butler in her ability to keep a
straight face, and S. Jelliffe was good as
the obsequious Phipps. The guests in
Act I made the most of their short parts.

The scenery and costumes fitted into
their proper places as background for the
acting. The scenery had a lived-in atmos-
phere and the late-Victorian costumes
were quaint and charming. The clever
lines were so well spoken that the audi-
ence missed none of Wilde’s epigrams.
For this fact and for the entire success of
_the play, Constance Hall, the stage man-
ager, and Dr. Savage, are to be congratu-
lated.

NEW BOOKS FOR C. A. LIBRARY



Authors Have All Spoken at B. M.

“Thinking Black”, by Dan Crawford;
“Friendship”, by Hugh Black; “From
Alien to Citizen”, by Dr. Steiner; ‘“‘The
Meaning of Prayer’, by Dr. Harry Fos-
dick, and “South of Panama”, by E. A.
Ross, have been added to the books in
the C. A. Library. These books may be
found in the New Book Room. Dr.
Steiner, Hugh Black, and Dr. Fosdick are
known at College, as they have spoken
here this year. Dan Crawford spoke in
Chapel in 1914.

Mr. Crawford tells of “Twenty-two
years without a break in Central Africa”;
his book “records the fulfillment of Liv-
ingstone’s last desire’, for Dan Crawford
lived in that part of Africa which Living-
stone most wished to visit. He tells of
his journey into the interior in 1889 and
his life there. The book contains maps,
photographs, and colored pictures of the
rich tropical country.

Dr. Steiner’s book, ‘From Alien to Citi-
zen”, describes what he calls the great
American art, the making of Americans,
and the story of his life from his steerage
passage to America to his Professorship
at Grinnell College, Iowa.

“South of Panama”, by E. A. Ross, Pro-
fessor of Sociology at the University of
Wisconsin, is a study of the conditions
of the real relation of North and South
America. South America, he says, is the
victim of a bad start.



PRESIDENT LOWELL OF HARVARD
PRAISES B. M. ADMINISTRATION



The following extract from statements
of various college presidents is reprinted
from the “Evening Telegraph” of last
week:

Abbott Lawrence Lowell, president of
Harvard University:

“Bryn Mawr always had, under the
guidance of President Thomas, the object
at which she was aiming perfectly clear,
and has always kept her standard high.
Not avaricious of numbers, ever ready to
put quantity in the second place, she has
nevertheless attracted from all over the
Union girls who were ambitious of a high
education. More than this, she has been
notable for the excellence of her instruct-
ing staff, and that, after all, is the su

DINOSAUR CHAMPION OF
UNPREPAREDNESS



“All armour and no brains” is the
slogan of the Anti-Preparedness League,
which has taken the Dinosaur as its
champion. -This animal, now extinct,
died of carrying too much armour, they
say. “The Boston Transcript” suggests
that other animals of equal size, though
of tender hide are also extinct.
