Procession, Game, Athletic Prizes
Compose Athletic Day Festivities
_ Athletic Day was triumphantly cele-
brated on Wednesday by a gaily costumed
alumnz procession, the Alumne-Varsity
basket-ball game, won — to — by the
Varsity, and the presentation of athletic
cups, swimming medals and yellow ties.
Dressed in every possible red, blue and
green device of stripes and basket work
hats, headed by the Varsity basket-ball
team, the Athletic Board, and a band, the
alumngw marched from Pem Arch to the
athletic field. There the teams met in a
great fight, in which the Varsity downed
the Alumne& 13 to 10.
First, Second, Third Team Cups Given
After the game M. Thompson ‘17, presi-
dent of the Athletic Association, pre-
sented the individual and class athletic
cups, the latter for first, second, and third
teams. 1917 won first and second hockey
cups, 1918 third. 1918 won the tennis
singles cup and 1917 the doubles; the in-
dividual College championship cup goes
to M. Thompson ‘17. 1917 secured the
cup for the swimming meet and L. Peters
'19 the individual swimming cup. First
‘and third water polo cups were 1918's and
second 1917’s. The track cup went to
1917 and the individual track cup to H

DR. ROSS PREACHES
BACCALAUREATE
Mystery is Subject
Dr. George A. Johnson Ross, of Union
Theological Seminary, delivered the Bac-
calaureate sermon to the graduating class
last Sunday evening in the Gymnasium.
He took as his subject the mystery of life,
and spoke of the present war as an ex-
ample of such mystery.
Christianity, he said, gives comfort,
“but the text-book of religion, the Bible,
leaves most questions unsolved and says
least of what we most want to knOw.
Upon the great trinity of sin, suffering
and death, the Scripture does not have
clear statements”.
The War a Mystery
In further elaboration of this idea, Dr.
Ross discussed the present war. There
are four ways of regarding it, he said—
as a great crime, a calamity unspeakable,
a colossal folly, or “if you range your-
selves with the most thoughtful people,
as a great mystery which invades even
the innermost recesses of our faith”

a high cost of cutting is a recognized
fact. This year it has been demonstrated
that the undergraduates have been unwill-
ing to pay the price of excessive cutting.
The cost, a matter of honour and inde-
pendence, has not been considered lightly.
When there was a definite penalty for
absence it was expected that the cutting
would be less but it is worthy of special
* note that there has been even less this
year when the matter was left entirely to
the students. Even the much feared at-
tractions of spring have not disproved the
undergraduates’ ability to regulate atten-
dance themselves. They have stood firm
for faithful attendance and have justified
their promises.
In the future much depends on the pro-
fessors. A timely reminder to a particular
class before and after cutting, and appro-
priate reproof of individual offender are
necessary to strengthen the more general
appeals of the Undergraduate Association.
In spite of the bad luck pleaded in their
history song 1916 has left a mark upon
college that will not soon be forgotten.
Though they have not won any champion-
ships in the athletic line they have
strengthened the spirit of good sports-
manship, an even more difficult and hon-
ourable thing to do. For them the chief
interest has been playing the game and
the best team would win. So then it was
right and fitting that the new athletic cup
for the class championship should have
been given in their honour. After the
rescinding of the cut rule in the spring of
1915 the responsibility of upholding the
pledge made then by the entire wunder-
graduate body to regulate the attendance
at classes themselves by means of public
opinion rested upon 1916 as the Senior
class, and this they have done so success-
fully that President Thomas was able to
congratulate the whole college. Under
them the Christian Association and the
policy of Self-Government has been more
clearly defined. It was they who put the
awarding of the Helena Ritchie Memorial
Prize— “Sunny Jim”—on a more logical
basis. They have also abolished the
daisy chain at Commencement, a tradi-
tional task that involved much tiresome
and fruitless labour for the Sophomores
and had little effect when in place. Be-
fore a member of their class was presi-
dent of the Undergraduate Association,
the advisory board was an empty figure-
head, but now it is an active and useful
part of the administration of the Associa-
tion. All this they have accomplished
with the least possible friction. It is no
wonder that 1916 will be missed when
they have graduated.
ALL-METAL WATERPROOF GARMENT
GUARANTEED AGAINST CAVE-INS
The Submarine Diving and Recovering
Company has just built two complete
metal diving suits, the only ones ever
demonstrated that would work in extreme
depths of water. The suit must be fitted
to resist the tremendous pressure of
water, which grows greater the deeper
the diver goes, and yet it must not be toy
ponderous to handicap movement.
present outfit is constructed to prevent
cave-ins and to allow ample freedom of
movement.

B. M. ALUMNA COMMITTEE
REPORTS ON FIRE CONDITIONS
Comments by New Republic
The Bryn Mawr Alumnz Committee on
Fire Prevention has lately made a report
on the conditions in the store of Gimbel
Bros. in Philadelphia. This committee is
working under the State Department of
Labor and Industry.
“The New Republic”, in commenting on
this report in the issue of April 22d, says:
“A potential crime whose obvious
cause is ‘an appraisement of property as
of greater value than human life’ is
brought to light in the initial report of
the Bryn Mawr Alumnze Committee on
Firg Prevention. Gimbel Brothers’ store
in Philadelphia, a ten-story unprotected
structure, employing 5000 persons, mostly
girls and children, has successfully defied
the Fire Marshal act for years. The city
has brought suit. Resolutions have been
presented by the Chamber of Commerce,
the Board of Trade, and just recently by
the Bryn Mawr committee. But enforce-
ment of the law is complicated by the fact
that more than one-half the property with
its adapted buildings belongs to the es-
tates of old Philadelphia families. So
flagrant is the menace that the insurance
companies force surrounding property
holders to pay approximately $100,000
super charges per annum”,
F. KELLOGG '16 MAKES NOTABLE
EXPERIMENTS ON EARTHWORMS
Fredrica Kellogg ’16, and Dr. A. R.
Moore of the Biological Department at
Bryn Mawr, have published an article in
the Biological Bulletin- for February en-
titled “Note on the Galvanotropic Re-
sponse of the Earthworm.” The~article
was written by Dr. Moore based on Miss
Kellogge’s experiments.
This article is based on experiments
carried out at Bryn Mawr during the past
year and is a discussion of the response
of an earthworm to the action of an elec-
tric current, passed through a trough of
water in which the earthworm was
placed. Sections of the worm were found
to act in the same way as the entire worm
except that they did not make any prog-
ress toward the kathode. This experi-
ment is an extension of those made by
Blasius and Schweitzer. The drawings
for the article were made by Mary Cline
a.

Dr. Ross Preaches Baccalaureate
(Continued from Page 1)
Dr. Ross went on to say that all this
mystery only drives us’ back upon God.
“And best of all”, he said, “this mystery
shall not always endure”. The reason we
may hope for its solution is ‘that our own
inmost thought is surely known. ‘He that
follows me shall have the light of lights’ ms
Two Types of Women Always Disdained
In his address directly to the Seniors,
Dr. Ross said that there were two types
of women who would always be disdained
—the social frivol and the intellectual
poseur. “Unless you are traitors to this
College”, he said, “these you will never
be”.
ALUMNA NOTES
In connection with the Military and
Naval Tournament at Sheepshead Bay,
New York, Cynthia Wesson ’09 won first
- place in the Archery Competition with
scores of 944 in the Double Columbia
Round and 831 in the Double National
Round. The last score was 75 points bet-
ter than the present national record.
Dorothy Weston ‘14, holder of the
Carola Woerishoffer Scholarship, is to be
Girls’ Worker at the Jan Huss Neighbor-
hood House in the Bohemian District of
New York City.
Ena Riegel and Ella Riegel, both of the
Class of ’89, have just returned from a
tour in the West with the Congressional
Woman Suffrage Special. The object of
the trip was, if Congress failed to pass
the suffrage amendment this session, to
form a women’s party at the Chicago Con-
vention in order to force this amendment.
The party met with a cordial reception
throughout the West.
Willie Savage ex-16 was lately married
to C. Brinkley Turner, of Overbrook,
Pennsylvania. Mr. Turner is a graduate
of Haverford College. They will live in
Overbrook.
Last Saturday night 1915 had their re-
union supper in Rockefeller, 1914 had a
picnic, and 1911 also had their reunion
supper. On Monday evening the class
suppers were 1906 and 1913, and 1896 and
1903 on Tuesday evening.
1915 has voted to have their reunion in
Rockefeller Hall again next year.
Anna Eldredge 08 was the one woman
to receive high honours in the Law School
of the University of Chicago. With five
men, she has been elected to the Order
of the Coif for high distinction in the
work of the Law School.
CHANGES IN REQUIRED ENGLISH
Composition and Literature Separated
The most radical changes in the
courses for next year occur in the English
Department. Required English will be
split up into five hour blocks, First Year
Composition and Second Year Literature
coming the first semester and Second
Year Composition and First Year Litera-
ture coming the second semester.
By this plan the two semesters of Com-
position will be divided by two succes-
sive semesters of Literature, the Compo-
sition coming entirely in the first sem-
ester and the Literature entirely in the
second semester of the first year and vice
versa in the second year.
Professor Donnelly, as before, is head
of the Literature, and Professor Savage,
in place of Dr. Crandall, is head of the
Composition.
Other New Courses
As a sort of extension of her Daily
Themes course, Dr. Crandall will give a
two hour course in Intermediate Composi-
tion. A two hour course in the Technique
of the Drama will be given by Dr. Savage.
Instead of Graphic Mathematics, next
year Dr. Scott will give a one hour course
in Fundamental Theorems: Miss Thayer's
one hour course in French Phonetics has
been changed from a post-major to an
elective. All these courses, including the
French, are elective for two semesters
THE COLLEGE NEWS
C. A. TEA TO ALUMNA
N. McFaden Speaks on New Constitution
_ About one hundred alumne were pres-|} 4
ent at the Christian Association tea to the
alumne yesterday on the Radnor Green,
at which N. McFaden ’17, president of the |’
association, outlined the year’s work.
* Putting especial emphasis on the work
of Miss Applebee, the retired Board and
the Committee of Ten, who co-operated
with them in reorganizing the associa-
tion, Miss McFaden briefly outlined the
changes that the new constitution em-
bodies, the later enrollment of Freshmen
and graduates, the organization of the
cabinet and the new basis of the Federa-
tion Committee.
Students to Help with Girls’ Club
H. Smith ’10 then spoke on the estab-
lishment of a Community Center in Bryn
Mawr. Miss Smith has had charge of
this work for the past month. In closing
she said, “It is expected that the students
will help with girls’ club work next fall,
coaching basket-ball, helping with enter-
tainments or leading classes”’.
Bates House plans were outlined by H.
Harris ’17, chairman of the Bates House
Committee, and the progress of the spring
campaign for the support of the House
was described.
MANY OF ‘11 EAT AND SPEAK
Marion Scott was toastmistress at
1911’s Class Supper on Saturday night.
About thirty-five of the class were there.
The first speeches and songs entertained
many undergraduates and alumnez. Those
who spoke were: Leila Houghteling, Betty
Taylor Russell; Margaret Hobart, Isabel
Rogers, Ruth Wells, Catherine Delano,
Kate Chambers. Seelye, Louise Russell,
Helen Henderson, Margaret Prussing, and
Marjory Smith Goodnow. There was also

ALL- ROUND CHAMPIONSHIP
GOES TO 1917
Hockey, Track, Basket-ball Victories
Easily Counterbalance Water Polo Loss
With 178 points, 1917 wins the all-round
athletic championship for the year, their
big leads in hockey, track, and basket-ball
putting them 51 points ahead of their
nearest rivals, 1918, in spite of the Sopho-
mores having won water polo. 1919 is in
third place with 82 points and 1916 fourth
with 10 points. These figures have been
made up without the points from the bas-
ket-ball B. M.’s, but these will make no
material difference. Points:

press notices in the “Ledger” did not
appear until April 12th. The new plan,
as stated in the “Ledger” of May 20th, is:
“The faculty shall elect from among
the full professors and associate profes-
. sors, after their first term of appointment,
_ @ Committee of three who sliall hold office
for three years, except that the two mem-
bers, chosen at its first election, shall hold
office for two years and one year respec-
tively. Members of this committee shall
not be re-elected at the end of any three-
year term until after one year shall have
elapsed. This committee shall have the
right to attend and take part in the dis-
cussion at all meetings of the Board of
Directors unless by special request of the
board, but shall have no vote.
“The president shall consult this com-
mittee before making any recommenda-
tions to the board of directors on reap-
pointments or refusal of reappointments
of offices of instruction. In all such cases
the recommendations of this committee
and the vote taken shall be reported in
writing to the board of directors. Before
taking action the committee shall consult
with the departments concerned and with
the dean of the college. If the case of a
member of the committee is under con-
sideration the other members of the com-
mittee may appoint a substitute of like
rank to consider that particular case.
Whenever practicable this committee is
to be consulted as to initial appoint-
ments.
“Professors and associate professors ap-
pointed for indefinite terms shall be re-
moved only after a conference between
the Committee on Appointments and a
committee of five directors, at which con-
ference the president of the college shall
preside, and only after a written report
of the findings of said conference shall be
made to the board of directors for consid-
eration and action by it. All teachers of
the above groups shall be entitled to have
the charges against them stated in writ-
ing-and-to-have a fair hearing on the
charges before this conference before its
findings are reached.”
No attention was paid by the Board of
Directors to the demand that the college
be changed from what has been charged
a “sectarian Quaker college”; that the
trustees should not be restricted to mem-
bers of the Society of Friends, and that
faculty members should have advantage
of the Carnegie Pension Fund.
NAVAL PLATTSBURG FOR COLUMBIA
Plans for a Month's Training Cruise
The committee which is carrying on
the pro-preparedness campaign at Colum-
bia has succeeded so well in already se-
curing 260 alumni and undergraduates for
the Plattsburg training camps this sum-
mer, that it has decided to devote some
attention to the naval aspects of national
defense. A naval cruise of four weeks,
corresponding to the five weeks’ military
drill at Plattsburg, is the latest plan. Ss.
Monroe "17, fullback on the Varsity foot-
ball team, is head of the committee which
has charge of the naval enlistments.
