DR. SIMON FLEXNER DISCUSSES
INFANTILE PARALYSIS



Stresses Training in Fundamental
Sciences



With special reference to infantile
paralysis—which is neither confined to
infants nor always results in paralysis—
Dr. Simon Flexner, Director of the Rocke-
feller Institute in New York, lectured
last Friday night on “The Phenomena of
Infection and the Recovery from Infec-
tion”. In summarizing his lecture he said
“Pathology resolves itself into chemistry,
physics, and biology. Success to-day de-
pends on the grasp of these fundamental
sciences”,

After defining infection as the state of
the body where extraneous living organ-
isms have made their way into it and
cause it to fall ill, he went on to say that
these living organisms, or bacteria, are in
the body all the time and infection can-
not be caused until the natural defences
of the skin are broken down.

A second and more effective barrier
against infection, he said, is in the circu-
lating fluids of the body, the blood and
lymph. In the blood are both red and
white corpuscles, “the red have no power
against bacteria, but the white have been
found very important against certain dis-
eases”.

Infantile Paralysis Germs Fluctuate

The bacteria of infantile paralysis are
more or less active at different times, Dr.
Flexner said, and the epidemics begin

E. HOUGHTON '18 NEW EDITOR



BE. Houghton was chosen for the “News”
board as a result of the competition from
1918 begun three weeks ago. This is the
last competition to be held. Miss Hough-
ton makes the third member from that
class on the board. From these three the
managing editor will be elected next year.







Different aspects of life in China was
the subject of talks given by Bryn Mawr
alumnz at the much heralded “China
Night” last Saturday in Taylor Hall, the
purpose of which was to bring before the
undergraduates the plans that are being
made for a Chinese scholarship. Miss
Faries '12, Miss Loshe ’99, and Miss
Hutchins ’07 spoke of experience and im-
pressions gained from their work in mis-
sion, schools, and Prof. Donnelly, who
spent last summer in China, spoke from
the tourist’s point of view. The ushers,
in brilliant Chinese costumes lent atmos-
phere to the occasion.

Miss Faries gave an amusing account
of her first encounters with the Chinese
language, climate and bugs. Miss Loshe
gave vivid descriptions of house boat life,
school children in their gardens, and the
impromptu dramatics by witty Chinese
students.

Miss Hutchins struck a more serious
note by her plea for Bryn Mawr workers.

She paid a glowing tribute to Dr. M. L.-

James ’04, who, with only one nurse is
running a hospital, training nurses and
doing outside practice as well.

In a field like Dr. James’, Miss Hutch-
ins said, a young doctor does not have to
wait weeks for patients. One treats
scores a day and perhaps performs major
operations as well. Miss Hutchins told
one story of a young doctor here in
America who was quite delighted at re-
ceiving a patient after a month of wait-
ing, and contrasted that with the crowded
conditions of China, In Chinese schools,
hospitals and government institutions,
she said, there is a crying need for col-
lege women—Bryn Mawr women”.

Prof. Donnelly Speaks

Miss Donnelly emphasized the fact that
China offered a great field of work for
Bryn Mawr graduates and also that Bryn
Mawr College has a great deal to offer
Chinese women. She outlined a plan for
establishing a Chinese scholarship here.
$25,000 is needed and committees of alum-
ne and an undergraduate committee
formed through the Christian Association
will be asked to co-operate.

1920 LOSE FIRST OF FINALS TO
SENIORS, 2 TO 0



Hard Fighting Needed vs. Splendid Fresh-
men Defence



“Captain Carey’s team” went down to
honourable defeat 2 to 0 before 1917 in
the first game of the finals on Monday.
The Seniors had a stiff fight for 1920’s
defence was really splendid and the whole
team showed plenty of spirit.

The chief weakness on both sides were
the forward lines, which were awkward
in passing and weak in the circle; '17’s
goal, F. Curtin, never touched the ball
during the whole game.

Plans for Chinese Scholarship at B. M.



Barnard’s Scheme Excites Interest



Thirty-seven colleges, ranging from the
small women’s college like Bryn Mawr to
the large co-educational university like
Syracuse, were represented last week at
the annual conference of the Women’s
Intercollegiate Association for Self-Gov-
ernment held at Mount Holyoke College,
Massachusetts. Every sort of viewpoint
was expressed in the various meetings:
the radical aggressive stand character-

istic of Barnard, the stress on “privileges”
typical of Southern colleges and boarding
schools, the need for faculty coéperation
in one association, the demand for com-
plete responsibility in another.

The business of the conference opened
Friday morning with a closed meeting at
which the delegates discussed informally
a list of Self-Government topics which
had been given all of them beforehand.
At an open meeting Friday afternoon
the Senior delegates made five-minute
speeches on the “Possibility of Future
Expansion of Self-Government”. A sec-
ond closed meeting Saturday morning
ended the business of the conference, All
the meetings were held in Mount Holy-
oke’s ideal new Student Building.

Modern Theatre in Students’ Building

The delegates were also entertained in
the Students’ Building at lunch and tea
and taken to a dance and play there in
the Auditorium, a small modern theatre
seating 1500 and equipped with a scenery
loft and an elaborate switchboard for
lighting,

Bryn Mawr’s invitation to hold the next
conference here was voted down in the
final ballot. Eight colleges ran against
Bryn Mawr, and the University of Syra-
cuse, a large co-educational institution,
was elected. Syracuse, since it holds the
next conference, is also president of the
Intercollegiate Association. Wells was
elected treasurer and Elmira secretary.

Barnard to Enter Faculty Field

The attempt being made by the Bar-
nard Student Government to represent
student opinion in matters of curriculum
by making a student a voting member of
the Faculty Committee was explained by
the Barnard delegate. She said that the
first steps towards student representation
were taken this year through a series of
personal interviews conducted by stu-
dents in each class. Students were asked
concerning courses: What they wanted?
What they found valuable? In view of
the lack of certain equipment and general
pedagogical difficulties, what can the fac-
ulty give?

So far there are two definite results:
First, that Freshmen required courses are
not what people want; second, the faculty
have promised to hand over the new plan
of curriculum which they are working on
to the students for criticism and sugges-
tion. Violent discussion of the Barnard
scheme ensued. Many colleges supported
it, though one considered it an encroach-
ment on the faculty field. The Bryn Mawr
delegates, C. Stevens "17 and M. O’Connor
18, took no stand on this point, but ad-

loan | vocated students sharing the faculty’s

power in the discipline of students for
academic misdemeanors.

Among the amusing penalties for break-
ing rules were Swarthmore’s solitary con-
finement of Freshmen and the withdrawal
of the privilege of speaking to men stu-
dents,







$60 for Dr. Grenfell



G. Steele was elected Assistant Treas-
urer of the Christian Association from the
three nominations made by the Freshman
Class at a meeting of the Christian Asso-
ciation last Monday. Miss Steele has al-
ready helped with the canvassing for
Membership Committee.

At the meeting the budget for the year
1916-17 was passed as submitted by the
Finance Committee, and it was voted that
$60 be given to Dr. Grenfell if that much
remained in the treasury at-the end of
the year. A second meeting of the Asso-
ciation was held Thursday at the request
of ten members and the $60 for Dr. Gren-
fell was added to the budget, which now
stands as follows:

VARSITY MAKES SIXTH VICTORY
AND BEATS PHILADELPHIA 5 TO 3



Playing Confused, But Full of Pep



Making the sixth straight victory of the
season, Varsity downed Philadelphia 5
to 3 on Saturday in a game characterized
by general pep and fight on the one
hand and general messiness and poor
teamwork on the other. Both teams
played with five substitutes.

All B. M. Score Made First Half

Just after the first whistle blew A.
Davis '17 rushed the ball down the field,
but lost it and the play swept into Bryn
Mawr territory where Philadelphia al-
most immediately shot a goal. Almost at
once after A. Stiles '19 had brought the
ball down, P. Turle '18 shot the first goal
and the second a few moments after-
wards. Varsity’s third goal was put in by
T. Howell '18. Then the fight was in
Brym.Mawr territory until several roll-ins
brought the ball down and L. Brown ‘17
added a fourth to our score. Philadelphia
and Bryn Mawr each scored once more
before half time, A. Davis shooting for
Varsity.

Game Close in Second Half

The second half began with such energy
that the visitors shot clean over the Bryn
Mawr goal post, but they soon retrieved
themselves by making their third goal,
the only score of the half. The struggle
was closer than at first and the play
oftener near the Bryn Mawr goal. Time
came just after a corner in Philadelphia
territory, Line-up:

Bryn Mawr. PHILADELPHIA.

“Come Cheer for the College”

This season an enthusiastic College has
cheered its Varsity to six successive vic-
tories with only five goals scored against
us and twenty-six made, an unparalleled
record. On Saturday the real test comes
in the All-Philadelphia game. We have
never beaten All-Philadelphia, but now,
with a better team than for years past,
our hopes are high. The College stands
solid behind the team and looks for vic-
tory.







Something Young and Fresh *

It is a long time since our friend Ver-
dant Greene graduated from. Oxford, but
a very short time since his sister Miss
Verdant Greene (pale blue in this chilly
atmosphere) passed the finals for Bryn
Mawr. Miss Verdant Greene we wel-
comed heartily; we thought the fresh and
tender nature of the young bud amusing
for the first few weeks, but now we begin
to fear that her growth must be affected
by the epidemic, for we wait in vain for
further development. She remains fresh
and green in spite of sincere efforts to
aid her to attain maturity. For instance,
Miss Verdant Greene can still groan at
fumbles at Varsity hockey until she has
to be instructed otherwise by an elder
sister, she can write anonymous letters to
important persons, although the etiquette
columns of the “New York American” ex-
pressly forbids it as unladylike; in short,
she has not yet learned, in spite of the
fact that she has been at College for six
weeks, the rudiments of College etiquette.
Miss Verdant Greene has but little more
time in which to put away childish things
before she may be dealt with very strin-
gently.

Golden Opportunity

Coming just after the vocational con-
ference which turned the attention of the
undergraduates to their future work,
“China Night” opened up a captivating
vista of opportunities to teach, not ordi-
nary little American boys and girls, but
fascinating young things in colorful gar-
ments with abnormal courtesy and ar-
tistic ideag; to live not in a crowded city
of sky scrapers and automobiles, but in a
city of ‘rickshaws and coolies; to doctor
not one patient a month after hanging out
a shingle, but a hundred a day. Perhaps
after the enthusiasm aroused last Satur.
day night a Bryn Mawr ship, flying the
yellow and white, will have to be char-
tered to carry all the Bryn Mawr students
to China.

next Monday is an attempt, and @ much
needed one, to bring the Alumna and the
undergraduates together. In nearly every

uates are represented in all the important
student activities and in that way are en-
abled to work with the students in defin-
ing the policy and in following up advan-
tages. Thus both bodies can really ac-
complish something for the College. If
any one has suggestions to make, let
them think them over carefully and tell
them to their class president. The
Alumne are doing their best to co-operate
with us; we should do our best to co-
operate with them.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

(The editors do not hold themselves responsible
for opinions expressed in this column)
To the Editor of the “College News”:

I have watched with interest the cam-
paigning that has been going on at Col-
lege this fall, and I wish to express my
sincere admiration for those who have
been instrumental in arousing such hearty
interest in the election. The Undergrad-
uate Association and the “News” are es-
pecially to be congratulated.

Lucretia Garfield 16.

NOTICE

No letters can be published unless fully
signed. A letter was received, signed “J.
C. A. H”. and will be printed when the
author is known to the editor, but her
name need not be published. Another let-
ter was received, but could not be printed
from lack of space.

LETTER FROM MME. CONS
TELLS OF POILU “FILLEULS”



Mme. Cons, before the war a member of
the Bryn Mawr faculty, writes her thanks
for money sent to her for the destitute
French soldiers to whom we were last
year requested to act as “marraines”.

She tells of Maurice Trioux,—‘‘a-most
forlorn man, and a most worthy one. Un-
til last month he had never had a letter
or a package from any one. He writes
often and begins every letter, ‘Oh, Mad-
ame Cons, que je suis heureux de pouvoir
vous faire une petite lettre, il me semble
que je suis rentré dans ma famille’. He
asked if he might call me ‘ma chere mar-
raine, car si je peux vous donner ce doux
nom je serai le poilu le plus heureux du
front’. Poor man—he nearly lost his life
the other day, the explosion of an obus
buried him alive under a pile of earth and
débris, but his comrades dug him out in
time.”

Money Needed More Than Anything

Money is especially needed. The small-
est amounts, pledged monthly, will be
acknowledged by Mme. Cons, or the poilu
who receives it. Contributions should be
sent to Miss Elizabeth White, The Marl-
borough-Blenheim, Atlantic City, N. J.
Mme. Cons writes, “I can use any amount
of money to good advantage. I am plan-
ning to use up my surplus every month
(i. e., all the money not needed for the
packages of my 130 or 140 men) in send-
ing packages to the men who have never
had any. I can get scores of such names
from men already on my list, and- shall
be so glad to help them through the win-
ter. Then too I will send socks, or shirts
or tobacco from time to time for distribu-
tion to a whole squad. It is not hard to
find ways of spending the money.

“Another thing that I should like is
gifts of socks, or wool for socks. I can
now afford to pay duty, and so will ask
to have any such gifts sent by foreign

other college the alumnz and undergrad- |



parcels post to me”.

SEVEN PARTS CAST IN “PATIENCE”



Wanted—A Jane With an Alto Voice



Four leading parts and three of the
minor parts in “Patience” have been cast
as a result of the Glee Club trials last
week. Three more parts, Jane, a tall,
large person with an alto voice, and the
parts of Major and Colonel, both for altos
or second sopranos, are still open. There
will be trials next Tuesday evening at
8.30. Any one, even though not in Glee
Club, may try.

Mr. BE. S. Grant, who coached the Glee
Club’s performance of the “Mikado” last
year, is coaching “Patience”. H, Harris

when the germ is at its highest activity.
They are caused either by persons carry-
ing the germ in a highly active form or by
the germs changing from high to low ac-
tivity. “It seems”, Dr. Flexner continued,
“that the power of infection of the germ
increases with the number of passages
until a certain number is reached when a
reverse change takes place. Thus the
germ undergoes a series of fluctuations”.

The facts of the case, as Dr. Flexner
stated them, are that this disease is both
infectious and contagious. The bacteria
are carried through the secretions of the
nose and mouth but they grow in the
brain and spinal cord:

The Rockefeller Institute

The Rockefeller Institute was founded
in 1901, by Mr. John D. Rockefeller, who
pledged at once $200,000 to the board to
be used at their discretion for ten years.
In order to get, immediate scientific re-
sults, a number of scholarships and fel-
lowships were distributed to existing
laboratories and three men were sent to
Germany. At a second meeting in June,
1902, it was decided that a laboratory
building was needed... Work was begun
at once on the laboratory and Dr. Simon
Flexner was chosen scientific director.
A small building was leased for tem-
porary use and work was begun in 1904.
The present building was formally opened
May 11, 1906.

The staff of the institute has been
chosen from the most promising appli-
cants after they had been given special
training here and abroad. There is also
a numiber of resident scholarships and
fellowships. The organization contains
departments of pathology, bacteriology,
physiological and pathological chemistry,
physiology and comparative seology, Its
especial organ is the “Journal of Experi-
mental Medicine”.





| VALUABLE BOOKS ON MYTHOLOGY
ies a
_ New Books on Many Subjects

This year the College has subscribed to

.|a new publication of twelve volumes,
which it

“The Mythology of All Races”,
will get as the volumes appear. Two
volumes are now in the Library, those on
classical and North American mythology,
and a third on Australian mythology is in
the New Book Room. As Dr. Louis H.
Gray, of Aberdeen, Scotland; the editor,
says of this series, “No attempt has yet
been made to eoliect the myths of all the
world into a single series, although the
study of mythology has already reached
a stage which renders such a collection
advisable. It is in the endeavor to fill
this gap that we have projected a mythol-
ogy of all the races”. One volume is de-
voted to each of the main divisions of
mythology as _ the classical, teutonic,
celtic and so on.

In the volume on North America, which
is the only one the “News” reviewer has
examined, the legends of the various In-
dian tribes are set forth, the legends of
“Mother Earth and Daughter Corn”, of
the “Son of the Sun”, and most charm-
ing, that of “Morning Star’. As each vol-
ume is compiled by an authoritative
scholar in that line much of the material
is entirely new.

B. M. Added to Bross Libraries

“Faith Justified by Progress”, by Prof.
H. W. Wright, has recently been sent to
the Library as a gift from the Bross
Foundation. This foundation is a fund
administered by the trustees of the Lake
Forest University which provides for the
distribution of the different volumes of
the “Bross Library”. Dr. T. J. Thorburn’s
prize book, “The Mythical Interpretation
of the Gospels’, Volume VII of this

series, has been received also. These will

be placed in the New Book Room next
week.

Another book of interest in the New
Book Room is Pater’s “Uncollected Bs-
says”, published by Mosher—not a new
book, but new to the Library. “Decidedly
not to be ranked with Pater’s published
works”, the note at the beginning says,
“what we here offer should be viewed as
one might view a collection of letters to
‘the inner circle of his friends’”. Among
others it contains notes upon Symonds’
“Renaissance in Italy’, “A Novel by
Oscar Wilde”, and a review of Arthur Sy-
monds’ “Nights and Days”, in which he

OH! GENTLE SCIENCE CLUB



During the Science Club reception after
Dr. Flexner’s lecture last Friday evening,
several hungry Seniors were seen hanging
over the banisters in Pembroke Hast
loudly demanding food from those more
fortunate “scientists” below. Finally the
glad word was passed up that “Amie
Dixon ('17, President of the Science
Club) said we could have some ice-
cream”, and these same hungry Seniors,
their ranks now considerably augmented
by Juniors and Sophomores, descended
like a wolf on the fold upon chocolate ice-
cream, sandwiches, cake and coffee. One
of these was heard to remark that she
had had “three plates of ice-cream and
fifteen sandwiches”. Miss Dixon must
have slept soundly that night if the pray-
ers of the thankful were answered.

FRESHMEN ARE SQUELCHED



“Our Peg”—otherwise M. Thompson '17
—found it necessary in the first team
game last Thursday between '18 and ’20,
in addition to her position as umpire, to
add that of a teacher of deportment to the
side lines. The groans and murmurs
from the supporters of the light blue
when a bad foul was called upon a mem-
ber of their team for thrusting an elbow
into her opponent needed a sharp repri-
mand and Peg delivered it. The side-
lines were crushed.

COLLEGE SETTLEMENT CHAPTER
ELECTS OFFICERS



H. W. Smith '10 to Lead First Meeting



At the first business meeting of the
College Settlement Chapter on November
14th, C. Hollis "17 was elected treasurer
and J. Hall '19 was elected secretary.
These two with E. Dulles '17 elector, F.
Buffum '18 and L. Wood ’19, make up the
governing board of the Chapter. H. W.
Smith ’10 will lead the first of the infor-
mal meetings of the Chapter this Thurs-
day in the C. A. Library. She will discuss
the needs of small towns and rural com-
munities.

Plans for the year were discussed at
the meeting. They include occasional
informal meetings on Thursday nights,
teas, trips to other settlements, and an
open meeting in the second semester.
Besides this the chapter will assign and
be responsible for the volunteer work to
be done by Bryn Mawr students in the
Community Center.

A report of the summer work of the
Community Center was read, describing
the cooking classes, debating clubs and
other activities and estimating the aver-
age number of children who came at
about 200. The Center was closed on ac-
count of infantile paralysis, but will re-
open soon. There will be a paid director
assisted by volunteers from the College.

MISS —e :AKS ON
: ATIONAL TRAINING

ee Necessary for All Work .

Miss Florence E. Jackson, Director of
the Appointment Bureau of the Woman’s
Educational and Industrial Union in
Boston, gave the first of a series of four
lectures on “Vocational Opportunities
Open to Women”, last Friday afternoon
in Taylor. After the address Miss Jack-
son held twenty-minute conferences with
students who had signed for them.
‘Miss Jackson spoke of the numbers of
positions now open to. women and
stressed the necessity of training for
each one of them. Bryn Mawr does not
give vocational training, as its primary
object is academic training, she said, but
this academic training should be the
foundation for specialized training later
on. Specialized training in social service
should be preceded, however, by courses
in economics at College.

Two new opportunities for women were
described by Miss Jackson, the teaching
of salesmanship, the importance of which
department stores are beginning to
realize, and vocational advising, which
public schools and department stores are
offering as a course. Besides these two
opportunities, Miss Jackson cited differ-
ent kinds of positions which she had filled
as director of an appointment bureau.

considers that Mr. Symonds really has
something to say.

Chinese Shelf Begun

On the Chinese shelf, started two weeks
ago, is a delightful book by Judith
Gautier, “Le Livre de Jade”, a free
translation of Chinese poems, some by
Thou-Fou, some by the Emperor Ou-Ti,
and some by Ly-y-Hane, the “Sapho chi-
noise” as she is called. There are also
two little books of the odes and sayings
of Confucius as well as Max Miiller’s ex-
haustive study of Chinese literature in
the “Sacred Books of the East” series.

Of more contemporary interest is H. G.
Wells’ “Mr. Britling Sees It Through” and
George Moore’s much discussed “Brook-
Kerith”.

Two new books on the war are “Bel-
gian Democracy, Its Early History”, by
Henri Pirenne, Professor of Medisval
and Belgian History at Ghent, translated
by J. V. Saunders, and “The Making of
Germany”, six lectures delivered in Chi-
cago in 1915, by Ferdinand Schevill, Pro-
fessor of Modern Buropean History at
Chicago.
