SERVIA MUST NOT BE CRUSHED



Mrs. Pankhurst Tells of Her Work in
England and of the Servian Women



“The world owes more to small nation-
alties than the large ones realize’, said
Mrs. Pankhurst to a large audience in
Taylor Hall on Friday afternoon, Febru-
ary 25th. For this reason, she said, she
came to America to plead for relief work,
by which the Servian nation might be
saved from annihilation.

“We want the moral support of Amer-
ica,” she said, “for small countries,”
The gallant spirit which has made Servia
fight for liberty ‘in order that she may
civilize herself’, she continued, makes it
imperative that Servia should not be
merged with any other nation. Through
three disastrous wars, Mrs. Pankhurst
said, the Servian women have taken the
place of men, doing all the civil work,
and in some cases even fighting; besides
this they have kept alive the folk-lore,
music and poetry of their people. She
pointed out that France in her impover-
ished state, had given the island of Cor-
sica for the Belgian refugees, and that it
is the duty of America to justify her neu-
trality by keeping them alive.

Describes Her Own Work During the War
Perhaps the most interesting part of

of her own work during the war, in re-

tute methods for training women to take
places in business and in finance, so that



| satisfy their great desire to serve their
‘country. She also described the munition
| factory, which she had seen in France,
where women were skillfully taking the

‘places of men. it was this sight, she said,

| which had inspired her on her return to.

England to organize a procession of 5000
/ women who offered their services to the
country for the making of ammunition
|and were accepted.

| The war, Mrs. Pankhurst concluded,

| has taught men to appreciate the good

to us women faith in our brothers”.

Applebee and several of the Alumne& |

who have been most influential in the.

work of the C..A. are to be among the |

speakers at various meetings, to which |
all alumngw members have been invited. |

ences, will conduct a special service on

1918 won the first game of the water-
‘polo finals from 1919 with a score of 3-0.
| The game was very different from the
jones between 1917 and 1918, lacking their
‘fast playing and good headwork. The
| play was slow on both sides, 1919 not
| forcing 1918 to its utmost in order to win,
| and showed awkward fouling. ‘18's

NOTED SOCIOLOGIST TO SPEAK



Dr. Steiner Will Preach Sunday Sermon

The sermon Sunday night will be
preached by Dr. Edward Steiner, Pro-
fessor of Applied Christianity at Grinnell
College. Dr. Steiner has made an ex-
tended study of group and race psychol-
ogy and is one of the leading sociologists
of to-day. Among his works on immigra-
tion are, “On the Trail of the Immigrant”
and “The Immigrant Tide”. He is a
noted authority on the subject, having
devoted much time improving conditions
at Ellis Island.

Influenced by Tolstoi

A native of Vienna, Dr. Steiner was
educated in the Jewish religion. As a
young man in college, however, he came
to know the works of Tolstoi, which so
impressed him that he determined to
know Tolstoi himself. He set out for
Russia with his pockets empty except for
a letter of introduction. “I went”, he
says, “to see the man who taught religion
in terms I understood, and which I
thought I could accept and practise”. Dr.
Steiner’s book, “‘Tolstoi the Man”, came
directly out of this visit and records his
impressions of Tolstoi, and Tolstoi’s influ-
ence on him.
| Thirty years ago Dr. Steiner came to
| America, where he has made his way
| against tremendous difficulties, working
jat first as a labouring man in mills and



_ factories.

‘ship in Hockey; first team doubles cham-
|pionship, second team singles champion-

SPIES AT FRESHMAN REHEARSAL
1919 BEHAVES WITH DIGNITY



Two pedestrians, who had apparently
/thought up a clever scheme during their
| afternoon walk, stele into the Gymnasium
on Saturday afternoon and, passing the

went up the stairs and took up a point of
vantage in the gallery. Unconscious of
the spectators, the busy Freshmen below
kept on with their rehearsal. Suddenly
the strains of “Here Comes Tootsie”
stopped. Three stalwart Freshman, with
determined bearing, hurried from the
room. The visitors, abashed, slunk down
| the stairs, only to be confronted by the

|stern deputation who stood with folded
a \ Lanier | arms. The innocent intruders hurried | returned to this country about twenty-five
seeeeete 3 D. Hall from the building with the words, “I hope | years ago and sang with the Metropolitan
""""" \'"Gnacendike | they are ashamed of themselves”, ringing | Opera Company, mostly in the role of

‘im their ears. They returned, not in glee
to a Sophomore study, but in bewilder-

‘ment, to their nearby boarding school

|
'sereens before the lower doors, quietly | mittee.
keeping ‘19's forwards well boxed in so} a y|

co-operating with Dr. Howland of Buffalo, | that they had little opportunity to shoot. |



R. CHENEY’S RESIGNATION BRINGS
UP QUESTION OF SELF-GOV POLICY



The question of accepting the resigna-
tion of R. Cheney, '18, from the office of
Treasurer of the Students’ Association
for Self-Government was still undecided
at the end of the long meeting on Monday
night. After hearing Miss Cheney’s rea-
sons for resignation and the five possible
grounds for refusing or accepting this res-
ignation as outlined by the President, M.
Russell, '16, the Association voted to con-
sider, for better understanding of the
main question, the attitude on honor-
reporting.

Reporting Voted Not Compulsory

As a result of the whole discussion it
was decided, first, that members of the
Association other than the officers should
not be required to report offenses of in-
dividuals against Self-Government. Sec-
ondly, the motion that officers of the As-
sociation should be required to report all
offenses which came to their notice
through direct or indirect evidence was
defeated. It was stated, however, that
these resolutions did not regard testi-
mony requested under Resolution III,
which states that the Board can require
testimony and inflict punishment for re-
fusal of same. This-action of the Asso-
ciation removed every check upon offend-
ers except their own sense of honor and
the possibility of others reporting them.
| It was said that such a radical result
| had been brought about by the confusion
jof a split ballot and not by the general
| desire of the Association. C. Kellen, '16,
| therefore moved that all members of the
Association, both as officers and as indi-
| viduals, be held responsible for seeing
| infringements reported, but, since such a
| notion involved the repealing of the reso-
lutions ‘already passed, it was not in
| order,



Water-Polo Adjourns Meeting

It was felt that in the absence of the
| persons who had left the meeting on ac-
| count of water-polo no important business
|should be decided and the meeting was
jadjourned. There will be a second meet-
‘ing to reconsider the question of the res-

4 ignation on Thursday or Monday evening.
lif the Association desires to pass any
‘such motion as Miss Kellen’s, the resolu-
