RED CROSS FILLS THREE BOXES
‘Rolling Bandages”
Boxes for Poland, Belgium, and maga-
zines for the English soldiers have been
sent off this semester. The Red Cross
Committee, together with the faculty,
who worked every Wednesday evening
in Cartref Sitting-room, have made 1266
bandages, 642 compresses, 10 mufflers, 2
caps, 10 pairs of socks, 1200 handkerchief
dressings, and 6300 sponges.
$300.00 More Needed
During this last semester the commit-
tee collected $351.95, of which $241.38 has
been spent on materials, and $20.00 given
to the Belgium Dollar Christmas Fund.
The committee has also sold 44 “Belgium
Cook Books”, at $1.50 each, of which 75
cents on every book went to the Pennsyl-
vania Committee of the Commission for
Relief in Belgium. The Red Cross Com-
mittee must raise $300.00 next semester
to carry on the work.
Chocolate and Tobacco for the French
Soldiers
The plans for next semester will be
announced after mid-years. Madame
Cons has asked for bags for the French
soldiers in the trenches, containing cards,
tobacco, chocolate, etc. These are to be
contributed as well as the surgical sup-
plies.
CAMPUS NOTES
President Thomas made an address on
“College Education for Girls” before the
members and friends of the Bryn Mawr
Club of Boston last Saturday. |
Three new books have been added to
the Denbigh Fiction Library: “The
Search Party’, by George Birmingham;
“The City of Pleasure”, by Arnold Ben-
nett”; “The Mascot of Sweet Briar
Gulch”, by Phillips. These books have
been given in answer to a plea from the
Librarian for books that are no longer of
use to their owners. The dues of the
Fiction Library are so small that it is
impossible to keep the Library supplied
with new books except by such donations.
Deaconess Greene will speak at the
Wednesday meeting on the work of one
of the leading colleges in India. This col-
lege is supported by the Deaconess’ Col-
lege, of which Miss Greene is a graduate.
Miss Greene is studying at Bryn Mawr
this year for her doctor’s degree and
holds a scholarship in Semitic languages
and Biblical literature. She is the first

school.

|Women Students Excel in Quiz on War
et
Last week Dr. Leake gave his class
lin modern history the test on the Eu-
|ropean war which has revealed the stu-
'dents’ ignorance of current events in
Bowdoin College and in New York Univer-
sity. In Barnard Cellege, where the same
'test was given, the ayerage mark was
| 74. 5 per cent, against 58 per cent for the
| men in New York University and in Bow-
jdoin. As the questions at Bryn Mawr
were asked of the History students, in-
stead of the students in general, it is im-
possible to make accurate comparisons.
“Where is Galipoli”? however, the stum-
bling-block everywhere else, was fairly
well answered here. -
