POILUS HAVE THEATRES AND
NEWSPAPERS



Sorbonne Lecturer Speaks on the Literary
Life of the Front



The letters, songs, theatre and news-
papers of the “poilu” at the front were
the subject of a lecture by Monsieur Jean
Alcide Picard, of the Sorbonne, in Taylor
Hall last Friday afternoon.

“The business of killing”, said —M.
Picard, “does not occupy all the sildier’s
time. He has three other occupations:
eating, sleeping, and writing letters, and
of these the last is the one he loves
most”.

As official reader of letters found on
dead soldiers, M. Picard’s experience was
that a “poilu” writes not less than one
letter a day and each at least eight pages
long, never mentioning the war or his
own brave part in it. Some of them are
humorous, all show passionate love of
country and of people at home, as do
their songs, several of which M. Picard
read, explaining here and there the con-
fusing trench slang. “The essay is also
very chic”, he added; “they all write
them”,

Impromptu Acting a Favorite Occupation

Another interest beyond “la chasse des
boches” in the trenches is impromptu |

acting. Tragedy, deeds of heroism, etc.,
' are never shown, but the soldiers when
off duty like nothing better than to give
a bit of comedy or a burlesque for their
comrades.
_ “Their newspapers, too, are largely
comic”, M. Picard went on ta say. “Of
these trench newspapers 260 now exist.
They are printed on regulation presses

front and among civilians anxious to keep
in touch with the doings of the ‘poilus’.
Besides this important work of insuring
close contact between defenders and de-
fended, Le Lapin a Plume and Le Canard
Poilu enable army cooks to exchange
valuable receipts. They print poems ‘de
valeur poetique variable’, as well as offi-
cial communications of all sorts and pen-
and-ink illustrations”.



SANDBY, ‘CELLIST AND COMPOSER,
TO PLAY



1917 Plans Concert for Endowment Fund



Herman Sandby, 'cellist and composer,
who played here last year as soloist in the
Philadelphia Orchestra concert, is to give
a concert on January 5th in Taylor Hall.
The concert has been planned by 1917
for the benefit of the Endowment Fund.
Admission will be fifty cents for mem-
bers of the College, one dollar for others.

Mr. Sandby’s musical career began
with his playing the violin at the age of
five, and at seven he had his first experi-
ence with the larger instrument, the
‘cello. Born at Copenhagen in 1881, he
studied at Frankfort, Germany, and from
his early teens has appeared upon the
concert platform all through Scandinavia,
England, Germany and America.

Sandby is as well known in London as
he is in Philadelphia, where, until this
year, he was first ’cellist for the Philadel-
phia Orchestra. He is a particular favor-
ite of the Queen Mother, Alexandra, and
her sister, the Dowager Empress of Rus-
sia, both his compatriots.

Sandby’s tone on the ’cello is of the
richest and most mellow character, and
his singing style has called forth un-
bounded enthusiasm and high critical
praise in all the great art centres of the
Old World. His settings of Scandinavian
folk-songs are his best known composi-
tions.

The program:

Song of Vermeland (Swedish).

Elverhoj (Danish).

Bridal March (Norwegian).
CeO oo ak Saint Saens
Mrs. Sandby will accompany him at the

piano.

FATHER F. C. POWELL LEADS
CHRISTMAS SERVICE



Father F. C. Powell, of the Order of St.
John the Evangelist in Boston, preached
to a full Chapel on Sunday night. Christ-
mas greens and Christmas music were the
setting for an appropriate Advent mes-
sage.

“Belong to the future, keep your youth”,
said Father Powell. “Good and bad, chil-
dren of the day and children. of the night,

CHRISTMAS PARTY IN EACH HALL



Radnor Revives Old English Christmas
Customs



Christmas parties were given in each
hall on Tuesday night as farewells before
vacation. Most interesting was Radnor’s
revival of the old English Christmas
revels. Yule-log and Boar’s head were
brought into the dining-room with tradi-
tional songs and ceremonies by pages
costumed in red and green. An innova-
tion this year was a Christmas tree.
Dancing followed the dinner at which J.
Grace ’17 was toast-mistress. -

Merion’s party began at half-past four
in the afternoon with a dance managed
by 1919. At dinner admission was
charged, for the benefit of the Red Cross,
to see stunts given by the Seniors and
Juniors. 1920 provided the decorations.

Pembroke began dancing at half-past
eight to the harp, violin and piano that
had played at Merion in the after-
noon. Cakes were sold by 1917 for the
benefit of the Endowment Fund, and the
Freshmen gave a stunt at dinner. The
party was managed by M. Martin ’19.

In Denbigh and in Rockefeller, where
admission was charged for the benefit of
the Belgian Relief, the program was the
same—stunts at dinner and dancing after-
ward. M. Hodge '17 managed the party
in Rockefeller, and 1919 that in Denbigh.

GERMAN PRISON CAMPS
NEED TEXT-BOOKS

German Prisom Camps are among the
most important institutions for which the
Junk Committee of the C. A. has been
making collections, Interest in these
camps was aroused by A. Davis ’17, whose
brother is working there trying to estab-
lish university courses, as there are many
professor and student prisoners. For this

COMMITTEE ON CHINESE SCHOLAR-
SHIP FORMS PLANS



Necessary Funds Ready by June 1

The Bryn Mawr Committee on the Chi-
nese Scholarship met on December 14th,
to lay definite plans for raising the pro-
posed endowment of $25,000. It is form-
ing committees in the larger cities of
Bryn Mawr alumnzw and persons inter-
ested in the East and the education of
women, and expects to raise the required
amount by June Ist.

“The time is short and the sum large”,
said Miss Donnelly, chairman of the
committee, in speaking to the “News” re-
porter, “but the opportunity also is large



and help given to China now means

twenty-five times as much as will help
given twenty-five years hence.

Student to Come to B. M. Next Fall

“A sub-committee is being formed im-
mediately in China itself to chose a stu-
dent fitted to study in the United States
and send her to Bryn Mawr next autumn
for two years’ training in the neighbour-
hood preparatory to entering the College.

“The committee hopes that the Chris-
tian Association will also form a sub-com-
mittee to interest itself in the scholarship,
and it will be happy, through the follow-
ing members, to answer any questions
concerning the scholarship and its endow-
ment:

The committee is: L. M. Donnelly,
chairman; Marion Parris Smith, treas-
urer; Gertrude Ely, Adeline Vepper Gib-
son, Marion. Reilly, Eunice Morgan

B. M. ALUMNA HANGS SUFFRAGE
BANNER AS PRESIDENT SPEAKS



“What Will You Do for Suffrage”? the |
Slogan



Mary Gertrude Fendall ‘12 was one of
the six prominent members of the Con-
gressional Union for Woman Suffrage



who unfurled a yellow banner bearing the
words, “Mr. President: What will you do |
for Woman Suffrage’? during President |
Wilson’s address in the Hall of Repre-
|sentatives on December 5th:

| The banner was unfurled over the rail
.of the gallery directly opposite the ros-
trum on which the President was stand- |
ing, but was pulled down by one of the
doorkeepers. Capitol policemen were
|prevented from arresting those respon-
|sible for the disturbance.

“At the very instant the banner was un-
furled a messenger from the Congres-
sional Union headquarters appeared sud-
denly at the door of the press gallery of |
the House and shoved into a doorkeeper’s
hands more than a hundred mimeo-|
eraphed copies of an article about the
banner and the women responsible for its
display”,

Although the President saw the banner °
he made no break in the reading of his|
address. ;

ing-room sofa-cushions, pictures, books, | °"t exhibit shown here on Wednesday,

mer camp and Boston Settlement House.
Miss Baldwin, the organizing secretary of
the Association, explained the models,
pictures, posters, and samples of chil-
dren's work at a tea given in Rockefeller
by the Bryn Mawr chapter.

In speaking of the work and purpose of
the Association in general she said, “The
College Settlement Association was es-
tablished in 1889 when a great wave of
democracy and social work passed over
the country, not primarily for charity or
philanthropy, but to make stronger the
democratic ideal and to arouse an interest
in public affairs. It has stood for the
ideals of Tolstoi and St. Francis of As-
sisi”.

When 2 per cent of the people posse: s
60 per cent of the wealth, when 30,000,006)
people are living in indecent moral and
sanitary conditions, Miss Baldwin con-
tinued, something must be done by those
who have advantages to share them with
those who have not. “The $265,000,000,-
000 of actual wealth in this country, if not
hoarded up by the individual exploitation
of natural resources and instruments of
public utility, would mean an income of
about $1700 for every family.

Democracy Needed

ciation, to share their advantages, can do

1920, in the course of time, will prob-

always uncertain. It is therefore unsafe
to predict that the popular strains of “they
were the class that stopped campus night”
will then have given way to the refrain,
“they were the class that was voted

LETT ERS TO THE EDITOR

The editors do not hold themselves responsible
. for opinions expressed in this column)

Perhaps these statistics from the rec-
ords of the Health Department may in-
terest your nameless anti-water polo
correspondent. During last winter, of the
144 students who had colds, 49 were water
polo players, 95 were non-water polo
players, or, of the water polo players in
College 38 per cent had colds, of the non-
players in College 46 per cent had colds,

Furthermore it is a noticeable fact that
the infirmary cases before Haster requir-
ing excuses from academic work, diag-
nosed as “Tired”, “Nervous”, are not as
a rule water polo players.

Yours truly,
Constance M. K. Applebee.



To the Editor of the “College News”:

Probably the College is aware of some
of the recent escapades of a group of the
Class of 1920, and also of the fact that
the Class of 1919 officially voted the Class
of 1920 as “fresh”, I should like to say
that the letter written by 1919 to 1920, in-
forming them of our action, was sent in
an entirely friendly spirit, and I would
especially like to acknowledge the ex-
ceedingly sportsmanlike and _straight-
forward reply received from 1920. I sin-
cerely hope this incident has left no hard
feeling and has been to the good of all
concerned.

Mary E. Tyler 19 (Pres.).



To the Editor of the “College News”:
Maybe there are some people who enjoy

spending their five periods of exercise
swinging Indian clubs, dancing, or mak-
ing a stab at fencing in the gymnasium,
but, surprising as it may seem, there are
others among us who enjoy “taking a hot
bath with soap” and having real exercise
in the pool twice a week. May we sug-
gest that those weaklings who haven’t
sense enough to dry their hair by the ex-
cellent hairdryer, cover their heads before
leaving the gym and .avoid traditional
colds.

SLANG INGENIOUSLY EXPRESSIVE



Enlivening as Poetry

Even “for those who are too refined to
think, it must be evident that the tech-
nique of vividness in slang is the same
as that in poetry”, according to an article
in the New Republic last week. “Of
course, like all poetry that becomes es-
tablished, it loses its original vigor and
comes to be used automatically and with
stale perception. ‘Muff’ and ‘Hunch’ are
as ingeniously fitted into the mechanics
of social life as any words. ‘Bluff’ and
‘Crib’ and ‘Flunk’ are entirely practical’.

Much of slang is as vivid as Shake-
speare, the article asserts, and reminds
one of Falstaff. Professors should warn
their pupils, not against slang, but against
the deadness of habitually using expres-
sions without discriminating as to their

| A NEW OUTLET FOR DISCUSSION |

Problems outside of College are to be |
| discussed at the meetings of a group of |
| undergraduates eager to discuss social, |
| political and other important topics of
| the day. These meetings are to supply
| the long-felt need of some to increase
| their knowledge and’ critical power in
| vital issues. Any one interested may
/come to these meetings, which will be
held every Friday night after dinner in
56 Rockefeller. The informal discussion |
| will not be limited to set topics.

This new movement is not under any
Association and is not to be definitely or-
ganized. The plans for such a meeting
were formulated after a long and inter-
ested discussion with the College Settle
ment secretary, Miss Baldwin. Although
the C. S. A. has fostered such clubs in |
other colleges, it has only been a stimulus
in this case and is not responsible for the |

‘Former Pupils Plan: to Purchase School aa
‘Tothe Editor ‘of the “College News”: = | ees Sr ee oe ee
“S Headed by'a committee called the Cen-



tral Organization Committee of the Rose-

mary Purchase Fund, former Rosemary | —

pupils are campaigning to raise a fund
for the purchase of the School and to
change it, under the Connecticut law,
from a private corporation to a semi-pub-
lic educational institution. The commit-
tee has secured an option to purchase the
School, officially appraised at $247,198,
for $150,000. $3,000 has already been col-
lected.

Rosemary Hall, a well known boarding
school for girls in Greenwich, Connecticut,
is at present a private corporation with
capital stock owned by the headmis-
tresses, Miss Ruutz-Rees and Miss Lown-
des. Under their control it pays no divi-
dends and turns its profits back into the
improvement of the plant. It is to make
permanent this type of administration,
which future headmistresses might not
wish to continue, that the Rosemary Pur-
chase Fund was organized. If the change
is made, the School will probably be con-
trolled by a Board of Trustees chosen
from its former pupils.

In explaining the plan to Rosemarians
the pamphlet which has been sent them
says: “This is by no means a new idea
in the educational world, but if the plan
succeeds, Rosemary will stand among the
pioneers in this form of government for
girls’ boarding-schools in the United
States. It is obvious that a school of the
proposed type, so organized that it can
bring financial profit to no one, inspires
a measure of confidence and secures a
permanence impossible under private
ownership. In the case of Rosemary, the
former pupils are convinced also— that,
under this form of control, they can best
perpueuate the ideals in pursuit of which
the School has been developed, namely:
Standardized college preparatory work,
interscholastic athletics, and student self-
government”,

Choir Feted on Annual Rounds



The Choir, led by H. Harris '17,
ploughed its way through the snow last
night to sing Christmas carols, according
to time-honored tradition, at each house
on the campus. The start was made at
eight o’clock and at twenty-five minutes
past ten, having stopped at the Deanery
and Penygroes for refreshments, the last
carol was sung under Pembroke Arch.

SNOW PREVENTS FINISH OF HOCKEY |
SEASON



. Finalists



Third, fourth and fifth team titles were

‘left undecided on account of the snow,

but an arrangement has been made to
divide up the points according to the
standing of the teams when playing was
stopped.

On third 1919 and 1920 had each one
game, 6 to 0 and 1 to 4, and had tied once,
0 to 0, so each class gains five points.
Fourth team score, showing one 3 to 3
tie between '17 and ’20 and one victory
for ’20, 4 to 3, stands now two points for
’17 and three for ’20. Though the Sopho-
more fifth team after tying with the
Freshmen twice, 0 to 0 and 1 to 1, beat
them 2 to 1, the single point for the team
is shared equally and each has one-half a
point.

IMMENSE ALUMN4 ORGANIZATION
FOR ATHLETICS IN NEW YORK



B. M. Graduates Secretary and Treasurer



MOVIES TAKEN OF THE HOCKEY



In 19138 two Barnard graduates started
the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of
New York City with twenty-five members.
The object was to furnish “exercise and
recreation to college women under inex-
pensive and congenial conditions”. The
fall of 1916 shows an organization of 975
members, which provides every imag-
inable sport from basket-ball to bowling.
Katherine Ecob, Bryn Mawr ’09, is the
executive secretary and Agnes Morrow
12 is the treasurer.

All fall hockey has been played at Van
Cortlandt Park with moving pictures taken
of the game as a grand finale. The water
polo team now practising may challenge
the Bryn Mawr Varsity. Horseback rid-
ing is so popular that there are two full
beginners’ classes. Every Monday even-
ing at the Thompson gymnasium, at 120th
Street and Broadway, athletic classes are
held with basket-ball, swimming, bowling,
gym, dancing, and indoor tennis. Fencing
is being planned for Wednesday evenings
at the Fencers’ Club, 2 West 45th Street.
Skating has been arranged for at the St.
Nicholas Rink.

FOLK-SONGS AND DANCES FOUND
IN AMERICA



“Lonesome Tunes” Sung by the Moun-
taineers of South Carolina



Summer courses in folk-dancing, with
exhibitions on an outdoor stage, are given
in this country by Mr. Cecil Sharpe, of
the school of folk-dancing at Stratford-
on-Avon. From his recent folk-lore in-
vestigations in this country he has found
that the mountaineers of South Carolina,
Tennessee, Virginia and Kentucky not
only keep up old English folk music, but,
contrary to the belief of Professor Kit-
tredge, the great ballad expert, they are
constantly making new songs and dances.
These are divided into two classes: long,
narrative ballads and songs of emotion,
“lonesome tunes”, and “fool songs”, those
of a humorous turn.

Since the swimming meet comes 50
soon after vacation, a week and a day,
much of the practising has necessarily
been done already. 1917’s squad promises
to be almost the same as last year, E.
Faulkner only having left. R. Driver ’19,
who swam for speed, is the only loss of
the Sophomores. 1918 will miss their
fancy divers, H. Hammer and M. Allen,
and will not enter the event at all. P.
Helmar, K. Cauldwell, B. Weaver, K.
Townsend, M. L. Mall, M. S. Cary and E.

1920:

TWENTY-ONE FAIL GERMAN ORAL



Seven Left to Take Both

Out of the forty Seniors who took the
second German oral Saturday, twenty-one
failed. Last year, out of the same num-
ber from 1916, fifteen failed, but 1917
evens things up by its better record in
French. Only seven Seniors are left who
have to take both the third orals.

The statistics for the last four classes
in the second German oral are:

1913—24 passed, 20 failed.

1914—-25 passed, 17 failed.

1915—17 passed, 25 failed.

1916—25 passed, 15 failed.

The results this year were: Passed, 19
(47.5%), Cline, Colter, Coulter, Curry,
Dixon, Emerson, Foster, Greenough, Hem-
enway, E., Hoff, Jopling, Kinsey, Scatter-
good, Stevens, Tattersfield, Tuttle, Wil-
cox, Willard; failed, 21 (52.5%), Allport,
Casselbury, Collins, Curtin, Diamond,
Dulles, Hall, Halle, Holcombe, Johnson,
Malone, McFaden, McMillan, Milne,
O’Shea, Russell, Seelye, Thompson, Wild-
man, Worley, Zimmerman.

AS OTHERS SEE US—
THROUGH THE EYES OF “TIP”



A cartoon of the political rally in “Tip”,
not sparing in its expressive portrayal of
faculty and student, was a special feature
of the issue of “Tip” for December. The
the eager
faculty rooters, a debauched prohibition-
ist and a “News” reporter hammering on
a typewriter in the “press gallery” of the
gymnasium, were some of the outstand-
ing features sketched in telling lines.

Viewed as a whole the season pod been
a good one. The fact that the three
fields have been in constant use has made
it possible for many more people to prac-
tise daily and the improved standard of
play on the lower teams bears witness to
the interest and regularity of their play-
ers. This year, too, the lower teams
played two out of three games for the
championship instead of one. The plan
of drawing up teams tentatively, early in
the year, and making each person respon-
sible for providing a sub, has worked
fairly well. More people have come out
since they felt themselves more essential
to the team than when a long list was
posted for every practice.

ICE TENNIS INSTEAD OF LAWN

A combination sport in the form of ten-
nis on ice is being inaugurated at the Ice
Palace in New York. To-morrow the first
game will be played. The players are
tennis experts from in, or near New York,
who have had experience with hockey and
are at home on ice.

Prehistoric Skull in Dalton

A brontotherium skull has recently
been acquired by the Geology Department
and may be seen in the very interesting
collection of geological specimens on the
top floor of Dalton. A brontotherium is
a prehistoric animal.

' Settiement Ideal ee

segregation of the poor and industrial
classes.

“The time may sail she said in con-
clusion, “when the colleges will demand
a more democratic education. In Den-
mark 90 per cent of the population attend
institutions of higher learning and as a
result of the increased efficiency and de-
mocracy there is practically no poverty”.

Miss Baldwin took dinner with the cab-
inet of the College Settlement Chapter.
She has been visiting different colleges
with the exhibit and took it to the Bald-
win school on Thursday, where all the
boarding schools in Bryn Mawr will see
it. She said that the interest among the
Bryn Mawr students this year was most
encouraging.

130 XMAS STOCKINGS FILLED



“Our statistics are a little bit shaky”,
said M. Worch ’18, chairman of Sewing
and Junk Committee of the C. A., “but
as far as I can be sure a record number
of Christmas stockings has been filled
and dolls dressed this year’. 130 stock-
ings have been returned with toys burst-
ing from top and toe, and more are being
given out. 76 dolls are dressed and ready
to send away, and the clamours for more
must go unheeded because the committee
has spent all its money.

There was an exhibition of these stock-
ings and dolls in the gym Monday and
Tuesday.

VALUABLE CHINESE PAINTINGS
ON EXHIBITION IN LIBRARY

The Chinese paintings on exhibition in
the Carola Woerishoffer Room_of the Li-
brary were the gift to the Department of
History of Art of Mrs. Adeline Gibson,
who bought them last summer in China.
Some of them are valuable and all
were chosen to illustrate religious and
legendary themes.

Though some of the copies were prob-
ably made in the 19th century, the best of
them go back to originals of the 13th and
16th centuries. The original of the paint-
ing of the three sages, for instance, with
one of them flying on a stork, probably
dates from the period of Sung. Again,
the painting of the nymph with the hind
and two attendants is characteristic of
early Ming. Just as Western art is dated
by painters, Eastern art is dated by
periods and styles, Sung being 13th and
Ming 16th century, roughly speaking.

Two other Sung copies are the pair
painted on satin. They belong to a set of
eight scrolls, each of which contains two
groups. Each group is made up of a
Lohan (sort of Chinese saint), a symbolic
animal, and two attendants. In the long
horizontal painting called a Makemono,
of ladies in a park, each part of the strip
is a whole composition in itself.

Besides the Chinese paintings there are
a number of curious popular Chinese pic-
tures that belong to the popular religion

SECOND CONFERENCE IN JANUARY |



Miss Jackson Finds B. M.
Coming”

Business positions and the secretary po-
sitions leading up to them will be the}
topics of Miss Jackson’s second voca-
tional conference here on January 12th.
Miss Jackson, who is head of the Appoint- |
ment Bureau of the Women’s Industrial
and Educational Union in Boston, said of
her November visit to Bryn Mawr that |
she had never had as big a first meeting
at any other college.

Miss Jackson thought the Bryhn Mawr
students whom she interviewed “very up
and coming, very independent in view-
point, and not at all shy”. She was in-
terested to find that a smaller number of
them could typewrite than among other
colleges she had interviewed

“Up and)

| Committee,

Isabel Oswald”.
The appended address is vague, but the |
case is being looked into by M. Worch |!

Christmas work of the Association.

MAIDS’ PARTY A Gay AFFAIR
The Maids’ Christmas ‘party, given in
the gym Monday night by the Maids’
Classes Committee of the C. A., with a

Christmas tree, gave ample opportunity

for the display of varied talent. Planta-
tion songs by a chorus of‘ maids from
Pembroke; a duet, “At the End of a Per-
fect Day’; a solo, “Give Me Thy Heart”,
and two recitations, “The Builders” and
“Il Have No Mother’, won much applause.
M. McKenzie "18 and J. Ridlon ‘18 danced,
and Miss McKenzie gave an exhibition on
the parallel bars. Z. Boynton, the Fresh-
man executive of the committee, elected
last week, appeared in an amusing stunt.

' After an impromptu dance ice cream and

candy were served.

FAMOUS VAN DYKES REACH NEW
YORK



Possessions of Earls of Denbigh



Five famous Van Dykes, valued at $1,-
500,000, have been purchased from the
Earl of Denbigh and brought to New
York, where they will be on exhibition at
the galleries of Lewis and Simmons Son
after New Year’s. The portraits have

“been in the family of the Earl of Denbigh

since they were painted, four of them
upon order of Charles I, to whom the first
Earl of Denbigh was a devoted adherent.
Two of the portraits are of King Charles
and Queen Henrietta Maria themselves.

GEORGE EDMUND STREET,
SUBJECT OF MISS KING’S NEW BOOK



“George Edmund Street, Unpublished
Notes and Reprinted Papers”, is the title
of Professor Georgiana Goddard King’s
book just published by Putnam for the
Hispanic Society of America. It is an
essay somewhat as a preface to notes by
Mr. Street on his travels.

“I have written the memorial, brief
enough and all inadequate”, Miss King
begins her essay, “of a man who died
more than thirty years ago, who lived a
Tory and a High Churchman, who worked

ing fight, no figure ever less evolved re-
gret or toleration”.



CAMPUS NOTES |

-_—_

The . Sophomore duncs-tor the sient oo
/men was given last Friday evening in the | —

gymnasium. All went in fancy dress, the
Sophomores in green and white as men,
and the Freshmen as their partners. A.
Moore '19, as chairman of the Committee

for Music; provided a three-piece orches- |

tra.. M. Scott was chairman of the re-
freshments and E. Adams, of the Program
Committee.

“Ghosts and Souls” was the subject of
Dr. Leuba’s lecture at the Science Club
tea last Thursday in Pembroke East.

The Lost and Found sale last Friday in
the Bookshop netted about $25. The
money goes to the Undergraduate Asso-
ciation, which pays the salaries of the
persons running Lost and Found.

The wedding of Ruth Driver ex-’19 to
Jack Rock will take place on New Year's
Day at Montecito, California.

Marie Willard ex-’18 (Mrs. Harlan Har-
ris Newell) has a son, born on Thanks-
giving Day.

In addition to the large number of
stockings filled this year, eighty bags,
bright red and green, are being filled with
candy to be sent to the College Settle’
ment House at Christian Street, Philadel-
phia.

Dr. Rufus Jones, trustee of Bryn Mawr,
has written a book on the “Inner Life”,
published by the Macmillan Co. The facts
of science and of Biblical criticism are
surveyed with discussions of Darwin,
James and Bergson.

Dr. David Hilt Tennant will preside
at the Joint Meeting of the American So-
ciety of Zoologists and Section F (Zool- |
ogy) of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science to be held De- |
cember 27, 28, 29, at Columbia University. |

| Dr. Thomas Hunt Morgan, of Columbia

University, will read one on “An examina-
tion of the so-called process of contami-
nation of genes”. Dr. Morgan was for-
merly Professor of Biology at Bryn Mawr

/and is married to Lillian Sampson Mor-
to revive Gothic Architecture in England. |

Yet no man ever less fought a los- |

Then follows a short

biography of the great architect and an}

gard for his authoritative book on Spain,
“Gothic Architecture in Spain”.
Miss King says, “The effect of it was to
teach the rest of Europe that the glory of
mediwval Spain endured; that one could
actually see south of the Pyrenees,

a great religious art surviving,

strong, virile, -spontaneous, the
expression of personal independence and
manly piety. No one ever packed up
fewer prejudices in his baggage, no one
ever brought out more truth”.

The remainder of the book is Mr.
Street’s own “Notes on a Tour in Central
Italy’ and “Notes on Some French
Churches”, There are many illustrations
from his own pencil sketches and two
photographs of him. The appendix re-
prints two papers of his already pub-
lished, one on St. Mary’s near Dartford
and one on the churches of northern

Miss King.

Of this



gan ’91.

Movies will be given by 1919 for the
benefit of the Endowment Fund on Janu-

ary 13th and 20th in the gymnasium. A

appreciation of his work with especial re- | Play,

a comedy, and current events will
be shown on the screen. Admission is
twenty-five cents.

GERMAN CLUB PLANS COMPLETE



At the first meeting of the German
Club, a week ago Monday, it was decided
to have regular meetings every other
Tuesday afternoon. Work for the Ger-
man Red Cross and Widows’ Fund, sew-
ing and knitting, with discussions of the
German newspapers, is the program of
the regular meetings; but at the open
meetings, of which there will be several,
prominent men will speak. The next reg-
ular meeting will be the Tuesday after
vacation.

The requirement for membership is a
conversational knowledge of German,
which must be tested by Miss Ruth Per-

| kins, reader in German at. Low Buildings,
Germany, with explanatory foot-notes by |

Last year Miss King published two pa- |

pers on Spain in the Transactions of the

Archeological Institute of America, the)

“Horse-shoe Arch in Spain” and “An Un-
known Church and Two Others”. The
material for these two papers was drawn
from Miss King’s work in Spain two sum-
mers ago.

Et Tu Brute



A janitor putting quiz books in the class
rooms, according to a recent report, asked
one of the professors if he was going to
give a quiz that day.

The answer of the absent minded pro-
fessor, according to the report, was, “No,
are you"?

or M. Hoff ’17, president of the club.
