OLIVER LODGE PROVES

_|COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE DEAD



An Experiment in Vers Libre in New
Book Room



Psychical research has produced the
most interesting of the new books in the
New Book Room. Amy Lowell's “Men,
Women and Ghosts” is a new experiment
in verse construction.

“Raymond, or Life and Death”, by Sir
Oliver Lodge, of the Society for Psychical
Research, presents a stirring case of
actual and indisputable communication
with the dead. It is the story of the au-
thor’s son Raymond, who was killed in
the war, returning in spirit and living in
his home again, “examples of the evi-
dence for the survival of memory and af-
fection after death”.

An experiment in vers libre has been
made in “Men, Women and Ghosts”, by
Amy Lowell, who says in the introduc-
tion, “I think it was the piano pieces of
Debussy, with their strangp likeness to
short vers libre poems, which first
showed me the close kinship of music
and poetry, and there flashed into my
mind the idea of using the movement
of poetry in much the same way that the
musician uses the movement of music”.
Narrative poems with vivid and connota-
tive phrasing make up the volume and
their subjects range from Napoleon and
Josephine to Thomson’s Lunch Room in
the Grand Central.

Kenneth Grahame, of “Dream Days”
fame, has selected and edited “The Cam-
bridge Book of Poetry for Children”, with
fascinating decorations by Maud Fuller.
Mr. Grahame in the introduction explains
that the poems are necessarily strictly
limited in selection: blank verse, dialect,
and verse about children, are all ex-
cluded. Poems by Macaulay, Tennyson



|have been chosen. “My Home on the
| Field of Honour’, by Frances W

A DOLLAR A MONTH
SUPPORTS ONE CHILD



Mr. Baker Speaks on Belgium Relief



U. 8. NOT BACK OF COMMISSION



“If you want to buy the right to smile”,
said Mr. George Barr Baker, chairman of
the Appeal Committee of the Belgian
Relief Commission, speaking in Taylor
Hall last Friday evening, “help the chil-
dren of Belgium”. One dollar a month
supports one child. The commission has
fought alone, Mr. Baker declared with
simple force and restraint. The United
States, since its response to the first ap-
peal, has not as a whole stood behind the
work, as has been popularly supposed.
Mr. Baker, having time to speak at only
one college in the country, chose Bryn
Mawr.

A great delusion prevails in Belgium,
said Mr. Baker, concerning the charity
and generosity of the United States.
Since the food comes in American pack-
ages and is distributed by Americans the
Belgians think it is to America that they
owe their lives and not merely to an iso-
lated group of men. Every Belgian child
has learned to make the American flag
from yarn and to sing the “Star Spangled
Banner”, and every child crosses himself
when the “eat-boats” of the Commission
pass on the canals.

The Country’s Shame

When the first appeal was made to
America by the commigsion in 1915 the
country responded, Mr. Baker went on.
Twice since then appeals have failed, and
the United States has given at the high-
est computation only 9c. a head. Beyond
the immense monthly .subscriptions from
/England and France one million and a
| quarter dollars are needed monthly for
ithe work of the commission. In the

| Acting as an Art

The theatre is represented by a series
of small books of the Dramatic Museum
of Columbia University containing papers
or introductions by George Arliss, Wil-
liam Gillette, Coquelin, Henry James
and others. “To prove that the actor is
an artist and has the same title to a place
in the State as any other citizen” is the
aim of Constant Coquelin in “Art and the
Actor” which follows a charming intro-
duction by Henry James telling of the
days in Paris when he used to go to see
the great actor.
Illusion of the First Time in Acting”,
‘amusingly prefaced by George Arliss,
‘centers about the necessity of the actor’s
conveying the illusion that what he is



|Henry Irving in a brief foreword to

|ment of the principles of our art—subtle
‘yet simple’. Brander Matthews writes

‘as Lady Macbeth and as Queen Katha-

rine”, by H. C. Fleeming Jenkin.

Library Growing Larger

On October 1, 1915, the library con-
| tained 77,221 volumes; on September 30,

|from a pool of blood”, Mr. Baker called
it. And even our 9c. a head credits us
with greater generosity than is really
ours, for subtracting ten large gifts (John
D. Rockefeller has given $1,500,000), the
American rate is reduced to 5c. per
capita.

Supplementary Meal to Prevent Tubercu-
losis

It was suddenly discovered last spring,

Mr. Baker said, that the growth of the

Belgian children had stopped because the

FRESHMAN SHOW A FANTASY

WU ic ipsceeccesCcieues sther Jenkins
POU ibe cies socccscescsccvecs Betty Weaver

A strong sense of the decorative and
artistic in planning the stage picture dis-
tinguished the production of Freshman
Show last Saturday night. The fantasy,
revealing the blue fox as '20’s mascot,
struck a happy medium between an at-
tempt at the white lights of Broadway or
the “Follies” and a jumble of College
take-offs. .

The dancing of H. Zinsser, first as Mr.
Blue, then in the character of a light blue
Puck, was perhaps the most striking
feature of the show. She danced with
the abandon and skill of the professional.
M. Hutchins was a perfect toastmaster in
the poise and ease of her acting; her
voice was exquisite and well handled in
the part. G. Hess, the orchestra leader,
as in grand opera, conducted from in
front of the stage with delightful calis-
thenics of a kind not taught at drill. B.
Weaver and H. Ferris, the tumbling
gnomes of the second act, deserved a
scene to themselves.

The bold black and white of the Hunt
Club, in the first act, carried out in actors
as well as in scenery, received from the
first chorus of guests in hunting costume
the dash of scarlet needed for its vivid ef-
fect, that of a brilliant poster. The whis-
tling trio in black and white, Pierrette
and her swains, was one of the most
charming acts in this setting. Of the
songs, the biggest hits were made by
“Canned Cow”, and the “Shower Sone”,
where the showering admonishes,



“You can't be good, so please be clean”,
jand the showered retorts;

“I'm foiled,
I won't pay to have myself parboiled”.

On the whole, the acting was rather
better than the singing, which lacked the
ease and certainty of long practice.

Cavemen Realistic

The dim woodland of Act II and its mys-
terious cave, in dull greens, browns and
blues, seemed personified as the airy
nymphs rose for a scarf dance. The gen-
eral effect of setting and costuming is
more to be praised than the dance itself,
which strongly suggested 5.30 dancing.
The poetic element was rudely dispelled
by six savage pirates, knives in teeth, who
danced extremely well. The shattered
nerves of the audience were not restored
'by the bloodcurdling cavemen, who bran-

Enthusiasm vs. Devotion

“Charity begins at home”, the proverb
runs, but. it is equally true that charity
that never goes beyond the home is not
of much value. Now that as a college
we have undertaken ‘the support of a
Belgian village it would be well to re-
member that once undertaken such a task
cannot be waived. It is only too easy in
a rush of humanitarian impulses to pro-
ject great things, to choose a committee
and then to hand over the entire affair
to it. The very difficult matter that it
seems to raise moncy for the Endowment
fund, which started in just such a wave
of feeling as is now sweeping the col-
lege, is a case in point. Committees are
perfectly helpless without the support of
the college as a whole, and unless the
college is willing to keep on working
after the first fine frenzy of enthusiasm
has died, it is far better to promise noth-
ing. The committee for Belgian Relief







has been created to pledge our support].

for a Belgian village. In this case there
is no alternative of possibility; we must
feed the children of this village and go
on feeding them as long as necessary.
Failure to live up to our agreement is
literally a life and death matter.

Brevity the Soul of Wit

Shortness was one of the merits of
Freshmen Show last Saturday night but
the spectators did not for a moment feel
that they had been cheated out of the full
evening’s entertainment. For once the
number df encores was kept down so
that the encores which were given really
represented the preferences of the audi-
ence. The Junior who meant to be com-
plimentary was really not as severe as
she seemed when replying to the apolo-
gies of a prominent Freshman as to the
shortness of the show, she replied
vaguely: “Oh, plenty long enough”!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

(The editors do not hold themselves responsible |

for opinions expressed in this column)

To the Editor of the College News:
Cannot something be done about the
conduct of lectures in college? Of course
by now we are all accustomed to the dis-
courteous action of those who leave in
the middle of a lecture and it seems in
vain to suggest that if they cannot stay
until the end they would do better not
tod come at all. But when during Lord

Aberdeen’s address a small child walks |

in and out of the room and finally after
having taken a conspicuous seat in the
front row decides to lie sprawling: on
the floor in front of the lecturer’s plat-
form, it seems as if the time for some
action had come. The repetition of such
a disgrace to the college should certainly
be prevented, even if, now that the in-
cident has been humorously written up in
the Philadelphia newspapers, the
is already done.

DR. JOSEPH, WARREN

His students found in him a man whose

BRYN MAWR BEDS NOW
ENDOWED FOR NEUILLY



Constance Lewis Fund
Complete This Month



SURPLUS GOES TO HOSPITAL TOO



The fund that Constance Lewis ‘04
started before her death on November 5,
1916, to endow two beds for one year at
the American Ambulance Hospital at
Neuilly is now complete. The fund has
reached $1484.17, $1200 was .sent to
Neuilly ($600 for each bed), and $284.17,
the surplus collected, to the New York
office of the hospital to be used as nec-
essary.

A letter has already been received from
Maurice Burger, the present occupant of
one of the beds. It was addressed “Bryn
Mawr College’, and reads in _ part:
“Messieurs, c’est un petit blessé francais
qui a le bon chance d'occuper le ‘Bryn
Mavr lit’ dans la salle 67 de l’Ambulance
Américaine, et qui vient vous remercier
bien sincerement de votre offre genereuse
en vue de mon prompt establissement.
Je remerce beaucoup les docteurs
infermiers et infermiers de l’Ambulance
Américaine que me soignérent et qui
me soigne aussi actuellement”,.

In making her appeal for money, Miss
Lewis sent letters to over 2800 alumnze
and former students of Bryn Mawr. It
was her wish that the two beds should
bear the name-plate, “Bryn Mawr Col-
lege”, though the fund was started by
her. She also appealed to the Bryn Mawr
clubs in various cities, but only the Wash-
ington club responded. Miss Lewis her-
self paid all the expenses of the cam-
paign.

Fund Now Closed

A letter of February 12th received from
Miss Lewis’ father explains the closing
of the fund. “A total of $1484.17 was
obtained, the last subscription of $3 hav-
ing been received to-day. As the returns
now are few, small and infrequent, it is
deemed best to close the fund and return

BELGIAN RELIEF COMMITTEE
FORMED



Must Report to Association Before

Almost unanimously a motion provid-
ing for a committee for Belgian Relief
passed the Christian Association meeting
last Monday evening. This committee
will take charge of the support of a vil-
lage in Belgium to which the college as
a whole, under the auspices of the Chris-

announced the committee, E. Granger °17,

report to the Association before taking
any definite action.

Because of the urgent need for haste,
Miss McFaden appealed for immediate
action. A second motion was passed to
protect the Christian Association from
future indebtedness by stipulating that
appropriations should not go on the bud-
jet but should remain a matter of indi-
vidual subscription.

PROTEST TOLSTO!I MUZZLING



Columbia Students Call
for Right of Free Speech



A mass meeting at which some 300 Co-
lumbia University students protested
against the action of Professor Prince in
declining to let Count Ilya Tolstoi speak
before the International Club ended last
Wednesday in a resolution calling upon
President Butler of Columbia to declare
publicly that freedom of thought and ex-
pression in the University are not to be
suppressed and that student organiza-
tions, such as the International Club, have
an unrestricted right to hold meetings on
the campus.

Opinion was by no means unanimous.
The Russian students were outspoken in
their approval of the muzzling of Count
Tolstoi, who was to have lectured on the
views of his father on resistance and in-
ternationalism, and who, they said, did
not truly represent Russia.

Only two members of the faculty were

tory: Preston Slosson, son of the literary
editor of The Independent, was biting in
his attack on the university ruling which

writer in the New York Evening Post
ascribes to an improvement in the sci-
ence of training. In the Post of February

16th he says in part:

“Joie Ray’s feat in breaking the record
for the indoor two-mile course calls at-
tention to the remarkable achievements
of amateur athletes in the course of re-
cent years. One by one records estab-
lished fifteen and twenty years ago, rec-
ords which it was thought would stand
for all time, have been broken, all of
which is a tribute to the science of train-
ing; for, after all, there is no special
reason for believing that the breed of
athletes has improved”.

Then follows an interesting comparison
of figures taken from the records of the
Amateur Athletic Union going back to
the early eighties. Except in the quarter
mile, which has stood at 47 seconds for
nearly seventeen years, the time or dis-
tance of every event has been improved
| upon.

UPPER CLASSMEN MEET 7
IN WATER-POLO PRELIMINARIES

1918 SHOWS UP WELL



The Senior-Junior ‘water-polo game,
called last Monday evening, resulted in
a smashing victory for 1917 with a score
of 8 to 1. 1918 put up a spirited if losing

‘||}game, .

The first goal in the game was made
by M. O’Connor '18 but was followed
almost immediately by one for 1917,
thrown by M. Willard. M. Scattergood
closed the scoring in the second half by
another goal for the Seniors, leaving the
score 8 to 1 when time was called.

In the second half the playing was more
unequal. 1917 made six goals in fairly
regular succession. The star work was
done by M. Willard ’17 and V. Litchfield
"17, though on the whole, team work was
better than individual playing.

The line-up was:

SOCIAL WORK AND JOURNALISM,
MISS JACKSON’S SUBJECTS



“Economics Advised as Background |

-



“Economics should be studied in col-
lege before other training in social work
is undertaken”, and “Journalism is not at
present an open field”, were the two
points taken up by Miss Florence Jackson,
Director of the Employment Bureau of
the Woman’s Educational and Industrial
Union of Boston, who lectured last Friday
afternoon on “Social Work and Journal-
ism”. This was the third of her series
of four lectures on vocational opportuni-
ties open to women.

Miss Jackson divided social work into
two fields, preventative and remedial.
“Nursing covers both fields”, she said, in
describing the new courses of nursing
from a social point of view which are
being offered at Simmons and at the Chi-
cago School of Philanthropy and Civics.
But instead of attending such schools for
social work, experience may. be gained as
apprentice to certain charity cognate:
tions.

Miss Jackson enumerated many kinds
of social work that offered opportunities
such as that offered by the National
Playground and Recreation Association,
and civil service. The “welfare-worker”,
she said, has disappeared and her work
is now done by the employment bureaus
in the various business concerns.

Journalism Not an Open Door
“A woman must be better than a man”,
said Miss Jackson, “before she can get a
position in newspaper or publishing
house work. The door is not wide open,
except for the aggressive and original”.

CAMPUS NOTES



Last week Miss King’s class in Modern
Painting went to see a rare collection,

.owned by Dr, A. C. Barnes of Merion, of

the work of French painters, Impression-
ist and Post-Impressionist, Renoir, Monet,
Cezanne, and also of modern men, Pi-
casso, Matisse, Glackens, Maurer and
others.

The Endowment Fund class clocks in
Taylor stand to date: 1917, $875; 1918,
$1000; 1919, $875; 1920, $1000.

The Religious Meetings Committee of
the C. A, is arranging to get votes from
the members as to the preachers best
liked by them before arranging the
schedule for next year.

Three new Junior ee have been
elected to the English club:
R. Rhoads and S. Morton.

Miss Anne Wiggin of Spring Street will
speak at Vespers on Sunday. Miss Wig-
gin is a graduate of Smith College and
has been head worker at Spring Street
for a number of years.

A. Lawther ’97, at one time warden|
of Merion, 1904-05, and secretary of the)
college, 1907-12, now President of the
Equal Suffrage League of Iowa, spoke
in chapel Monday morning.

SELF-GOV RULE AGAINST SOCIAL
. ENGAGEMENTS INTERPRETED



‘0 le

- Most Libéral Reading Possible



A large majority voted to accept the

social engagement resolution at the Self-
Government meeting last Tuesday even-
ing. The resolution prohibits social en-
gagements with members of the faculty
and staff and the Board’s interpretation
provides that it shall not apply: (1) To
social engagements with the women and
married men of the faculty and staff; (2)
to social engagements on campus except
walking in the evening and entertaining
in the students’ studies; (3) to graduate
students who have academic appoint-
ments or who have had their names in
the program as instructors. This rule
will not go into effect until approved by
the Trustees.

In stating the aim of the Board, M.
O’Connor ’18 said that a slightly formal
but not a strained relation between fac-
ulty and students was desirable and that
this interpretation puts into words the
relation which the Board thinks should
exist.

After the Association’s vote to ratify
this interpretation, the president, C.
Stevens ‘17, requested that students be
more quiet at the Bryn Mawr Theatre and
on the trains.

GRADUATES GET BUSY IN C. A.

HEALTH INSURANCE DISCUSSED ;
AT COLLEGE CLUB



___ Bill to Be Voted on Soon



At a lunch at the College Club Saturday

several speakers talked about the health

insurance bill which is to be brought up

before the Pennsylvania Legislature in a

few weeks, Mrs. Strauss (Lillian J.
Laser '09) presided.

The bill, according to Miss Libby, of
the Charity Organization Society, aims
at something like the German and Eng-
lish methods. It makes insurance com-
pulsory for those with incomes less than

' $1000 a month, and provides that part of

the expense of the policy shall be borne
by the employer. It assures medical care
to the sick and a small income for the
family while the wage earner is incapaci-
tated.

Miss Tucker, of New York, and Miss
Cannon, of the University Hospital, also
spoke. The insurance plan, in Germany,
they said, had as far as could be ascer-
tained lengthened the life of the working
man about ten years.

Two former managing editors of the
News are at present working under the
C. O. 8. to prepare facts on sickness and
poverty in support of this bill,—TIsabel
Foster ’15 and Emilie Strauss '16.

E. Dulles ’17, the chairman of the So-
cial Service Committee, was a guest of
the Committee on Volunteer Service at
this lunch.

Freshman Show a Fantasy

(Continued from Page 1)

dished clubs and yelled in the approved
Neolithic manner. The “Twinkling Eyes”
chorus with their flashlights in the dark,
gave the proper key to Puck’s fairy danc-
ing, the best seen at Bryn Mawr for sev-
eral years. With “Hello, I've been look-
ing for you for a long, long time”, Puck
joyfully greeted Pete, the blue fox.

Freshman Show was this year original
in conception and execution. If it is to
be criticized on the literary side for the
lack of connection between the choruses,
on the technical side the smoothness of
the performance deserves credit, espe-
cially the dexterity with which the dining
tables were handled in the first act. The
singing may have been weak, but the
songs were clever and the whole show,
rehearsed in a remarkably short time,
was a tribute to the ability of A. Harrt-
son, stage manager, and of the Scenery
and Costumes Committee.

AUTHORITY ON IMMIGRATION
TO PREACH AGAIN



Dr. Steiner, Professor, Writer and

Immigrant





Dr. Edward Steiner, Professor of Ap-
plied Christianity at Grinnell College, one
of the favorite preachers of the College,
who has been here for many years, is
‘coming this Sunday.
| “On the Trail of the Immigrant” and
'“The Immigrant Tide” are two of the

| They tell in part the story of his experi-
} ences when he came to this country as an
‘immigrant, with little money and few
\friends. He is recognized as an authority
on immigrant questions because of his
own experiences and his subsequent care-
ful study of the question.
