DANCING AT C. A. RECEPTION



Speeches and Sophomore Band Give
Varied Entertainment



President Thomas’ opening speech,
Miss Applebee’s speech and the usual
explanations of the four Associations at
the Christian Association reception
Saturday night were followed by danc-
ing to the music of the Sophomore band.
The reception was characterized by a
Freshman as a “regular pageant”.

In welcoming the students President
Thomas mentioned the great advantages
of union in Christian work so often pre-
vented outside of College by church dif-
ferences. She spoke of the Christian
Association reception as in some ways
the real beginning of the College year as
it begins association in-work which
keeps alive one’s feeling of duty to
others.

C. Stevens, president of Self-govern-
ment Association, told of the principle
of individual responsibility in conduct.
D. Shipley, president of the Undergrad-
uate Association, explained the work of
its many committees. The principle
athletic events of the year were outlined
by M. Thompson, the Athletic president.

Miss Rambo, the president of the grad-
uate club, discussed the relations be-
tween the graduates {fifid undergraduates,
who were separated she said not by a gulf
but often merely by one summer. “The
Universal Chance” to be useful and to
broaden oneself said Miss Applebee is
in the Christian Association.

N. McFaden, the president of the Chris-
tian Association, introduced the speakers
and then invited every one to dance.
The main object of the reception, she
said, was to more closely associate the
new students in interests and friendship.

NEW COURSES CHIEFLY ELECTIVE.

Of the new courses this year, one is a
free elective in Social Statistics, two are
English electives for which permission to
register must be gained from the English
Department, and one is a graduate sem-
inary in Racine. M. Vatar, the new pro-
fessor of Modern French and Italian, will
conduct the seminary.

Social Statistics is a one-hour course
for two semesters coming Wednesday at
eleven and listed in the catalogue as In-
dustrial and Census Problems. It is
given by Miss McBride, Dr. Kingsbury’s
new secretary, who since 1914 has been
doing graduate work at Columbia where
she will take her Ph.D.



PRESIDENT THOMAS
SPEAKS AT OPENING OF
32d ACADEMIC YEAR

President Thomas said in part:

“This year as in previous years we
must together enter on the tremendous
adventure of making you as students free
citizens of the great republic of letters.
It is our duty as your teachers by some
means or other to inspire you to make
the great effort necessary to cross the
gulf that yawns between educated and
uneducated men and women. We must
teach you how to trim your sails and
start on that solitary voyage that must
be made by every one of you across the
dim waters that now divide you from the
shining country of the chosen people of
light and leading.

R oT * +. . *

“Ever since men began to develop what
we mean by intellectual life the older
generation has tried to show the younger
generation how to break away from ma-
terial things and enter into this other
kind of kingdom. The nations that have
succeeded best in teaching this to their
youth are the only nations that are now
remembered. In every country to-day
youth is being taught—sometimes well,
sometimes ill—but always being taught
in some fashion. So difficult is this evo-
lution from the physical to the intellec-
tual that it seems to require not only a
wise system of instruction for the youth
of a given country but also favourable

climatic conditions in order to develop |

only in a strictly limited temperate zone,

‘}usual form. The back field promises to



FIRST VARSITY PRACTICE
STRENUOUS



Back Field Strong, But Forward Line a
Difficulty



Twenty-seven players from the three
upper classes panted up and down the
field at the first Varsity practice last Sat-
urday morning. Only the Varsity goal
had an easy time, for the scrub team
played wildly and the Varsity forwards
kept the ball down at the other end. The
team play was poor, the halfbacks failed
to connect with the forward line and the
forwards straggled up the field, losing
their fight in the circle to miss good
chances at goals. The play in general
was on the left, so L. Brown at right wing
found few opportunities to display her

be adequate in spite of the loss of A.
Werner, J. Pauling, and M. Branson. L.
Richardson and F. Clarke were the candi-
dates for goal and F. Curtin, last year’s
sub, will be tried when her sprained knee
is well. M. Peacock played J. Pauling’s
position at left fullback part of the time
and. showed up well in the few chances
she got. M. Bacon in center half, M.
Branson's old place, shot hard, but with-
out aim.

With good material from 1920 and more
hard practice the team should be in good



shape to meet Haddonfield on veatanieiasl
21st.

SOPHOMORE DETECTIVES
' DISCOVER PARADE SONG



1920 Sings With Vigor Under Arch



Dictaphone, detective work, and bluff
were all used by 1919 to discover 1920's
carefully guarded parade song. When
the Freshmen under Pembroke Arch
started with unusual vigor and swing on
their parade song to the tune of “Tramp,
tramp, tramp the boys are marching”, the
Sophomores recognized the somg they
were prepared to parody.

Former Burns Man Finds Dictaphone

All week 1919 had searched for clues,
tried to catch Freshmen off theif guard,
and shadowed the Junior officers. The
dictaphone installed in M. Hutchins’
room was discovered by Benjamin, the
Pembroke porter, who has worked with
the Burns Detective Agency. Benjamin
helped 1918 search the gym Thursday
afternoon before the Freshman meeting
at 5.30.

The Siege at the Gym :

An eager mob of Sophomores and
Seniors besieged the gym during 1920's
meeting. The Juniors, holding doors and
windows from the inside, tried to drown
out the Freshman song practice with ath-
letic songs. M. Peacock "19 was discov-
ered by the indignant janitress in the hot
air flue and immediately removed, but it
was M. Peacock who finally got near

| enough to the meeting to verify the Soph-

omores’ suspicions as to the tune. On
Monday they had found clues in a Junior’s
room which had led them to believe that
the tune was a common one used as an
athletic song several years ago, and by

ous intellectual activity. Roughly speak-/|is the title of 1916’s original class book. | elimination and investigation they found

ing this zone includes Great Britain,
Scandinavia, France, Spain, Italy, prob-
ably the greater part of the United States
and Canada_and certain parts of Russia
and South America, and probably parts of
certain other countries that have not yet
been studied sufficiently to be enumer-
ated. It seems probable that the climate
of Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, and parts of
Asia may have changed since the time
when the wonderful prehistoric civiliza-
tions that flourished there have perished.
One thing we know beyond doubt and
that is that certain races have never yet
in the history of the world manifested
any continuous mental activity nor even
any continuous power of organized gov-
ernment. Such are the pure negroes of
Africa, the Indians, the Esquimaux, the
South Sea Islanders, the Turks, etc.
own semi-civilized American negroes
have shown in Haiti what they revert to
when left to themselves.

“These facts must be faced by a country
like the United States, which is fast be-
coming, if it has not already become, the
melting pot of nations into which are cast
at the rate of a million a year the back-
ward peoples of Europe like the Czechs,
the Slavs, and the south Italians. Our
first immigration was made up of the dom-
inant races of the world, the English,
Scotch, French, Dutch, German, and the
singularly gifted even if politically un-
successful Irish and Welsh. Our New
York and Chicago slums are now as bad,
if not worse, than anything in the old
world. The conditions in some of our
mining towns in Pennsylvania where no
word of English is heard are said to sur-
pass anything in Europe. The diseases
of European poverty and filth are brought
here by our foreign immigrants like our
present epidemic of infantile paralysis

It carries out the well-known plan of a}
critical paper. Athletic teams are '16’s |
“pathetic fallacies”; the editor, E. T. |
Strauss, is “Head of the Department”, |
and her staff is made up of “readers”. |

The proem, to the effect that “This is |
the proem! prime evil’! is the best of the
good verse. Narrative, proof, and conclu-
sion, although they contain the usual mix-
ture of amusing articles and those meant
to amuse, are enlivened by ‘“‘reader’s com-
ments” and by the innovation of cuts
made from snapshots taken at Colleze.
The “News” is flattered by a take-off on
its style entitled “All the ‘News’ That's

out the tune for their parody.

Weird Glow on the Hockey Field

The Freshmen, Thursday night, led by
the Juniors with torches, marched in solid
ranks to the lower hockey field, where an
electric 1920 blazed out against the dark-
hess, burning first white and then pale
blue. Below it Juniors and Sophomores
were snake dancing silhouetted against a
glowing pillar of fire. Their brandished
torches filled the air with smoke and
lighted the field with an unearthly glow.

Parade songs and parodies since 1915
were sung, and after 1920's song 1919
burst forth triumphantly with their par-
ody, “Sniff, Sniff, Sniff’. The singing
under the arch, however derisive in
words, was never applauded with greater
enthusiasm, and answered with more
friendly spirit. The Freshmen sang with
distinct swing and spirit.

At the first Undergraduate Association ss ioliiads IN HALLS MUST COMPLY

meeting on Tuesday night the president,
D. Shipley ’17, announced the plan of the |
board to keep a systematized record of
all cuts.

This year every student is to have a
printed card on which to register all the
classes she has missed, the subject, date
and reason for absence. This will be an
accurate record of excused and unexcused

bsences, The cards are to be collected by
the hall representatives every two weeks.
Although this plan was in operation last
year it was not so systematic.

President Shipley then explained the
responsibility of the Association for rais-
ing five thousand dollars this year for
the Endowment Fund. The undergrad-
uates raised the first $5000 towards the
endowment of a professor’s chair last
spring and this year each class is to
secure one thousand dollars and the As-

WITH SELF-GOVERNMENT RULES



M. L. Thurman '19 -Resigns:

The length of jurisdiction of Self-Gov-
ernment was emphasized, among other
things, at the annual meeting of the Self-
Government Association on Monday night,
to read and explain the Constitution and
resolutions. The resignation of M. L.
Thurman ‘19, treasurer of the association,
on account of lack of merits, was ac-
cepted.

“The jurisdiction of Self-Government”,
said the president, Caroline Stevens "17,
in one of her frequent interruptions of
the secretary's reading of the rules, “as
far as the student administration is con-
cerned, extends over students pursuing
studies at Bryn Mawr only during the
academic year, but the authorities of the

Alumni Must Comply With

Self-Government Rules
with the reg-
ulations of SelfGovernment on the part
‘of alumne or former students whenever
they are staying in the Halls. The power
for enforcing these rules merely passes
in such cases from the hands of the stu-
dents to the authorities of the College”.

Miss Stevens denied the common opin-
ion that a “warning” is necessary before
inflicting penalties and declared the 1916
Board’s interpretation of places of enter-
tainment as “churches, inns, hotels, res-
taurants, theatres, etc.”, to be only the
putting into print of the meaning ac-
cepted by former Boards. She urged the
Association not to abuse the privilege of
consulting professors out of office hours.
The new article in regard to the Graduate
Council was explained.

GRADUATES PLAN FOR TENNIS
TOURNAMENT AND HOCKEY



Miss D’Evelyn Representative



With Miss Charlotte D’Evelyn as Ath-
letic Representative, the graduate stu-
dents this year are showing an unusual
interest in athletics and are planning a
tennis tournament, and hockey practice
three times a week. Miss J. M. Earle,
Denbigh, a British scholar, has been
elected tennis captain. The Hall athletic
representatives are: Rockefeller, Miss
G. Jones; Pem West, Miss L. Young;
Pem East, Miss Lauder; Denbigh, Miss
Earle; Radnor, Miss D’Evelyn.

Miss D’Evelyn, the leader of the new
enthusiasm, held the record for high
jump, 4 ft. 3 in., at Mills College, Califor-
nia, where she was an undergraduate.
Two years ago as scholar in English at
Bryn Mawr, she won the Mary E. Garrett
European Fellowship and spent last year
at Oxford.

WEDNESDAY EVENING MEETING
OVERFLOWS



116 Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores and
Freshmen crowded into the inadequate
C. A. Library last Wednesday night to
hear M. Bacon "18 speak on “Opportunt-
ties”. Many were forced to stand and four
or five Juniors listened through the win-
dows. Arrangements have been made to
hold subsequent meetings in Room F,
Taylor.

THE COLL

LARGE ATTENDANCE AT VESPERS

Life

There were 170 people at Vespers Sun-
day afternoon when N. McFaden anal-
yzed the well-rounded college life as three
sided, consisting of study, play, and work
for others.

First of all she placed college work.
One may not have the ability to cram at
the last minute for quizzes and examina-
tions, but nearly every one can hold her

necessary to get eight hours merit every
semester and so to keep up with one’s
class. To study, however, must be added
healthy recreation such as athletics
which bring out the true sportsmanship
in every one, and a share in association
and committee duties. The full life can
only be lived, said Miss McFaden, by
measuring our lives by the perfect life of
Christ.
