European Fellow Very Young

Miss Kleps’ group is Latin and English
and she was prepared by the Girls’ High
School, Philadelphia. She is just twenty
years old. “Her age”, said President
Thomas in the course of her address,
“would be approved by President Lowell
of Harvard. In his last president’s re-
port he has made a study of the Harvard
men who enter college at sixteen as com-
pared with the Harvard men who enter
at eighteen and has reached the conclu-
sion that the man who enters the college
youngest wins a greater proportion of ac-
ademic honours than the man who enters
older. This does not mean that if every-
body entered college early the grade
would be raised. It means only that an
exceptional student is exceptional from
the beginning. An exceptional student
enters college before an ordinary student
because she possesses the kind of ability
that will mark her out in college”.

DRAMA TOO PICTORIAL



Mr. Housman Criticises Modern
Stagecraft



“The drama”, said Mr. Lawrence Hous-
man Saturday evening in his lecture on
‘The Moral and Immoral Influence of the
Drama’, “has shifted from the plastic to
the pictorial, with a consequent loss of
reality. We must subordinate our back-
ground and revert to the plastic repre-
sentation of the past”.

In defining “too pictorial’,

NO ONE FOR BOTH FOURTH ORALS



As a result of the third orals, no one
will have to take both French and Ger-
man in May. Ten people are left, three
for French and seven for German, but all
of those taking French have passed Ger-
man and vice versa. The statistics of the
third orals for the last three years are as

MASEFIELD WILL NOT COME BACK



John Masefield will not pay a second

'visit to Bryn Mawr to award the Mase-
field prizes, for on Friday, March 17th, he
sailed from New York for England.

The famous English poet»was given a

farewell ovation the day before he sailed
by an audience of 2000 in the University |
of Pennsylvania gymnasium. Mr. Mase- |
field did not give a formal lecture, but)

told tales of “Bill”, a sailor friend of his | land the Shakespeare Birthday Committee
before the mast.

Mr. Masefield is returning to continue |

his work among the wounded on the Eu-
ropean battlefields.

ASSESSMENT MOTION LOST



infirmary to Be Screened by Voluntary
Contributions



At a meeting of the Undergraduate As-
sociation last Thurseday the motion to
assess all the members of the College 50
cents to screen the Infirmary was lost,
but a motion was passed to raise the
money by voluntary contribution.

This first motion passed a meeting two
weeks ago, but, according to the consti-
tution, any assessment of more than 25
cents must pass two meetings before it
The motion of as-
sessment was not passed because it was

dent by which, in the future, the College
might call upon the Undergraduate Asso-
ciation to furnish or repair the buildings
at any time. But since the College is
again in debt this year and the need for
screens is so pressing, it was voted that
the Advisory Board consider paying for
them by contribution.

A motion was also passed that the rules
of the Association should be read at the
same time as that of the constitution,
within the first month of the first sem-
ester of each year.

The Association also voted to send to
the family of Katharine Reeves, '19, a res-
olution expressing sympathy and sorrow
at her death.

WATER-POLO TEAMS
“FIND EMPTY POOL



Like old Mother Hubbard who found
her cupboard bare, the Alumnew and Var-
sity water-polo teams found an empty
pool when they were ready to begin the
game on Saturday. Among the sugges-
tions which were offered for filling the
pool rapidly was to run water from the
fire hose in, but this was considered
slightly cold and any one who saw the
stream on the campus at a recent drill
will know that it is of a dark, muddy
color, Mr. Foley encouragingly said that
by 8 o'clock he could have three feet of
water. As no possible solution for the
difficulty could be found, the two teams
played a game of basket-ball, Varsity de-
feating the Alumne, 29-27.

The line-up for the basket-ball game
was:
