PROFESSIONAL OPENINGS
FOR WOMEN TO BE DESCRIBED
Vocational Conference Saturday
Law, bond selling, agriculture, and
other professional openings for women
will be described in twenty-minute talks
by women engaged in various occupa-
tions, at the vocational conference in Tay-
lor on Saturday morning. After lunch the
students may meet the speakers infor-
mally at coffee in Pembroke. Three of
the speakers are Bryn Mawr graduates.
This conference is given annually un-
der the direction of Mrs. Smith by the
Christian Association, to give the stu-
dents, especially the Seniors, an idea of
the opportunities and exigencies of the
most important or the least understood
professions. Mrs. Smith secures speak-
ers who have had experience and who
understand well the points to be consid-
ered in choosing a profession. The pro-
gram will be posted in Taylor so that
those who can not attend the whole con-
ference may come to the part in which
they are most interested. The subject
and speakers are:
1. “Law as a Profession for Women”,
Miss Bertha Rembaugh, ’97, Attorney and
Councillor at Law.
2. “Medicine as a Profession for Wom-
en”, Dr. Martha Tracy, '98, Professor at
the Woman’s Medical College of Pennsyl-
vania.
3. “Scientific Agriculture for Women”,
Mrs. Edith Loring Fullerton, Director of
Experimental Farm Work for the Penn-
sylvania Railroad.
4. “Journalism for Women”, Miss Eliz-
abeth Jordan, Editor of “Harper’s Maga-
zine”.
5. “Secretarial Work for Women”, Miss
Clarissa Smith, 15, Secretary to the Pres-
ident of Drexel Institute.
6. “Real Estate and City Planning”,
Mrs. Hugh Ward, Vassar, 1902.
“Tea Room and Lunch Room Manage-
ment”, “Architecture and Interior Deco-
rating” and “Bond Selling” will be an-
nounced later.
Drama Too Pictorial
(Continued from Page 1).
that the mind is carried straight to the
drama itself.
“On the Elizabethan stage the scenery
was composed out of the mouths of the
actors. The stage of Shakespeare was
free as air in the matter of stage scenery.
In Sir H. B. Tree’s revival of ‘The Tem-
pest’, he turned it into a pantomime, se-
lecting the smallest children for the
storm scene to give distance and by the
rocking of the boat, making them actually
sick to give reality. Though the children
were sick”, said Mr. Housman disgust-
edly, “the public were not”. ;
Mr. Housman then turned from the
manner to the matter of the drama. “The
theme of modern drama”, he said, “is the
truckling worship of public opinion. Real
drama should begin where a man and his
God are at close grips, and show their
struggle. This is where modern drama
ends”.
Fighting Minority
Mr. Housman ended his constructive
criticism .by saying that we cannot go
back to past conditions. “Our drama”, he
said, “must be native and reflect modern
thought. That thought is: the thought of
a fighting minority”.
After the lecture Mr. Housman read his
one-act play, “The Snow Man,” and the
first part of “Prunella’’.

Qualifications for First Place Decided
The times for the two speed swims and
the length for the swim under water and
the plunge for distance, have been defi-
nitely decided upon. The Board worked
out these figures. from the results of the
meet, but have been unable to decide on
times and lengths for second and third
class until a great number of people have
tried out so that an average can be taken.
There will be three more opportunities
for those who wish to try out for the |
various classes, March 28th and April 4th
and llth, but times which have. been
made in the meet will count.

intend to contribute towards the sum for

Committee. These committees are: 1916,
L. Dillingham, chairman; R. Lautz, C.
