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.
