FACULTY STAND

BEHIND STUDENTS

President Thomas Speaks in Chapel

President Thomas’ address in chapel
last Wednesday reads in part:

I have asked you all to come to chapel
this morning because there are some
things we may well consider at this time
when the greatest battle of all the world
is being fought for justice and freedom
and all that civilization holds dear. Now
that the President of the United States
has called congress together to consider
whether we too must take our part in this
great struggle it seems to me it is espe-
cially fitting for us to talk over what we
are doing here as a college to foster the
growth of liberal ideas. First of all I
should like to assure you of our sympathy
as a faculty with the wish of the students
to try to prepare themselves to do what
they can do to help their country in this
time of need. Women in muni-
tion factories, women telegraphing, wom-
en sending wireless messages, women
creating by their labor and sending for-
ward to the front supplies of armies,
women physicians and nurses caring for
the wounded, women driving ambulances
behind the fighting lines are as important
as the soldiers in the trenches. Every
woman that does it frees a man for the
front.

B. M. Must Teach Liberal Thoughts

“Now what are we doing at Bryn
Mawr College to teach you freedom?
always think of you, and of all students
properly protected in their academic

is extremely personal and the interest
chiefly academic its deservedly enthusi-

“PUNCH” MIRRORS WAR SPIRIT

DR. GRAY PRAISES CARTOONS



That the English Punch reflects the
war spirit of the nation and the changes
which it has gone through in the last
three years, was the point Dr. Gray em-
phasized in speaking before the History
Club last Thursday on “Punch in War
Time” . The cartoons are noteworthy, he
said, for their own cleverness, irrespec-
tive of the captions added to them.

Dr. Gray passed around copies of Punch
during his talk to illustrate his points and
to call attention to the high standard of
drawing. Both the cartoons and the jeux
d’esprit which they illustrate are usually
far superior to those which appear in Life,
he said.

Some of the well-known artists who
draw for Punch are Bernard Partridge,
L. Raven Hill, and Frank Reynolds.

IAN HAY SPEAKS IN FAVOR
OF COMPULSORY SERVICE



'Author-Captain Against Volunteering
| Captain John Beith, of the Argyle and
| Sutherland Highlanders, alias Ian Hay,



|author of “The First Hundred Thousand”,
who lectured at Bryn Mawr in February,
| declared absolutely, in speaking last
| week at the British Societies’ Bazaar in
| Philadelphia, against the volunteer sys-
eo of raising an army.

“It sacrifices the best men for the
worst”, he said, “and will never prove
| sucessful. You in America should not
make the same mistake that we across
the water fell into. Universal service is
the sole key to any military situation
such as confronts you now.
| “And in many other ways our mistakes
should work to your profit. England sent
20,000 skilled mechanics to bleed and die
in the trenches of France when they
should have remained at home and
worked to keep the army on the continent
supplied with arms and ammunition”.

Three things are essential for America

| to do as she is about to enter the war,
Captain Beith pointed out—keeping suffi-
cient equipment on hand, taking an indus-
trial census, and giving every man pre-
liminary military training and service.

the Bureau of Mines of the Department of
the .Interior. The Public Ledger states
that 25,000 letters have been sent “to min-
ing engineers, chemists, metal and coal
| mining companies, requesting the recipi-
ents to state their qualifications and ex-
perience and how and where in case of
emergency they could be of most service
to the country”.



One of the three essentials for prepar- |
edness that Ian Hay named, an industrial |
census, is now being taken. A census of |
technical men has been begun through |

FIRST PREPAREDNESS MEETING
SHOWS UNANIMOUS SUPPORT

Committee Appointed to Investigate

The preliminary meeting of the Under-
graduate Association, held a week ago
yesterday, voted unanimously to do “all
in its power to help in the cause of pre-
paredness and to fit its members to be of
service in time of war”.

Two specific motions were passed, to
take over, at her suggestion, Mrs, Smith’s
card catalogue of student’s possible re-
serve training and complete it, and to
authorize the chair to appoint a commit-
tee to investigate the classes that might
be given here, their probable cost, and
other allied matters. The committee ap-
pointed was E. Houghton ‘18, chairman;
BH. Dabney '19, M. Marquand ‘19, and M.
L. Thurman '19. The committee was
given two days for their work.

A motion was laid on the table to the
effect that interclass match games be
given up to leave more time for prepared-
ness work. It was thought that this mo-
tion would have to be definitely decided
by the Athletic Association.

COLLEGES PLEDGE TO WILSON



Signed by Heads of Eight Colleges



The note signed by the heads of the
eight largest women’s colleges in the
country speaking for their respective fac-
ulties was handed to President Wilson on
Saturday by. his two daughters, Miss
Wilson and Mrs. Sayre, both graduates of
Goucher College. This note, pledging the
colleges’ loyal services in the event of
war, was read in chapel on March 16th by
President Thomas. It was signed by the
heads of Barnard, Goucher, Mt. Holyoke,
Radcliffe, Smith, Vassar, Wellesley, and
Bryn Mawr.

ACADEMIC WORK
NOT TO BE LIGHTENED

Students Do Not Wish Courses Abolished

ACTION INDEFINITE AS YET



A majority of fifty-seven students ex-
pressed themselves against the proposed
substitution of preparedness courses for
seven and a half hours of academic work
in secret ballot at the Undergraduate As-
sociation meeting last Thursday. These
motions were both in the form of a sense
of the meeting and were the result of the
understanding that the faculty. would be
guided by a vote of a large majority of
the students in the question of modifying
the courses.

E. Houghton '18, who reported for the
committee appointed, to investigate what
classes could be given at Bryn Mawr, first
explained the conditions upon which the
faculty were willing to substitute prepar-
edness courses for academic work. There
were four stipulations, that the under-
graduates should be practically unani-
mous in desiring it, that they should give
up to it the time now spent in dramatics
(except junior-senior supper play which
is nearly completed) and extra athletics,
that the courses should be registered and
advised as usual, and that they should fol-
low the line of work already taken and be
along one subject only.

Substitute Courses Offered

Three courses which Miss Houghton
said the faculty would allow substituted,
were a course in farming which Dr. Gray
has offered to give, one in weights and
measures for those who have had minor
physics, and one in colloquial languages
which: would fit a student to act as cen-
sor. Other courses which might be taken
in place of regular work are motor re-
pairing, banking, dietetics and home care
of the sick, a Red Cross course, and a
course in emergency aid given by Miss
Kingsbury, which would equip those who
took it to do relief work with charities,
the care of soldiers’ families, and work
shops.

Mrs. Smith Names Alternatives

Dr. Marion Parris Smith, admitted to
speak by a vote of the Association,
stressed the fact that the question of pre-
paredness was one for the students to
decide. Whatever action they took, she
said, the faculty would endorse.



The two actions open to the students,

‘she said, were to give up the possible
| seven and a half hours’ work and substi-
| tute courses bearing directly upon pre-
| paredness under the conditions named,
'or to change existing courses to meet as
'far as possible practical, immediate de-
| mands.

Frances Clarke 19 and C. Hollis 19)

Besides the courses already de-
scribed, she mentioned wireless and te
legraphy for students majoring in science
or for those who have had minor physics,
and economics with some changes.

If the regular work were given up for
these courses, Mrs. Smith computed that
between now and the close of college
there would be 62 hours to spend solely
on preparedness.

To Face the Music

The college showed its courage at the
meeting of the Undergraduate Associa-
tion last week, when the motion to drop
some of the regular college work in favor
of special preparedness courses was de-
feated and an overwhelming majority of
the undergraduates voted to take up pre-
paredness training in addition to the
work they were already carrying.

This was not the act of an enthusiastic
mob carried away by a momentary situa-
tion. It was not the act of a crowd
swayed by a sudden and intense hatred
of the enemy. It typified indeed the
spirit of the American people to-day, who,
although refusing to be carried off their
feet by a whirlwind of excitement, never-
theless are quite ready to take to them-
selves the responsibilities of war.

This spirit is manifest over the whole
country to-day. We know what we are
to expect on entering the conflict, but we
face it unflinchingly. This attitude was
evinced by the many thousands of Phila-
delphians taking part in the great Pre-
paredness parade and mass-meeting on
Saturday. In all the crowds there was no
drunkenness or rowdyism evident; in-
stead, they, and others like them over all
the land, were pervaded by the earnest
patriotism which realizes it stands before
a great crisis, and, realizing, is unafraid.



& Scylla and Charybdis

Since the cut rule controversy there
has probably been no question so impor-
tant in its consequences as the question
of modifying academic work for the sake
of preparedness courses.

Two points are especially significant.
First, that this important academic mat-
ter was left entirely to the undergradu-
ates to decide, and second, that a large
majority were convinced that cutting
down the regular work would be a detri-
ment to their ultimate usefulness. This
decision, an assertion of our faith in gen-
eral mental training and abstract study,
comes from no pacificism or careless ob-
livion of the needs of the day. College
work well done is a patriotic act.



Keep Off the Grass

The young and over-eager committee
considering duty above pleasure goes
about to audit. They have not yet offered
to audit the faculty accounts nor have
they invaded the college business office.
Perhaps, young enthusiasts, they will be
glad when the hot weather comes that
some private organizations have not wel-

contains an entirely unnecessary and un-

just slur upon the sincerity of Colonel
Roosevelt in his efforts for adequate mili-
tary preparation on the part of the
United. States, Certainly, if there is any-
thing in which he has been consistent
throughout his career, it is in his preach-
ing of preparedness in season and out of
season, and his sincerity is attested by
his active service in the field during the
Spanish war and his offer of very definite
service in the present crisis. Moreover,
Colonel Roosevelt is undeniably our
strongest attribute to-day in the matter
of stirring up the sort of patriotism that
will mean the making of an army; and if
the question is to be raised, as the College
News has raised it, as to what brand of
preparedness we should choose, there are
many who would prefer, after the manner
of Lincoln, the “fire-water” of Colonel
Roosevelt to the “grape-juice” variety of-
fered as a substitute,

Thomas DeC. Ruth.



To the HBditor of the College News:

One does not have to be an admirer of
Mr. Roosevelt’s entire character and rec-
ord to be indignant at the unworthy slur
cast upon him in the College News of
March 28th. If there had been displayed
by the government a little more of the
“insistency” that has characterized Mr.
Roosevelt’s attitude towards national
preparedness, the present belated “sin-
cere efforts” of the Administration would
not be of the feverish, eleventh-hour sort
that we now witness. The News is un-
wise to cater, even in its little sphere, to
prejudice against a man who, whatever
else he is, is surely of the utmost value
to the country at this time.

Ss. C. Chew.

To the Editor of the College News:
In_view of the misunderstanding there
seems to be in regard to the exact rela-
tion of the First Aid classes now under
way and actual service under the Ameri-
can Red Cross in time of war, we take
this opportunity of explaining their re-
lation.

Just as it was explained at the time of
the registration for the First Aid classes,
a student who has attended eight out of
the ten lectures and passes the examina-
tion with a grade of 75 per cent or over
is eligible to volunteer for service under
the Red Cross in time of war. However,
to quote from the leaflet issued by the
Red Cross, “Women are advised to follow
their training in First Aid by a course in
Elementary Hygiene and Home Care of
the Sick”. “In selecting women for serv-
ice the preference will be given to those
who have had not only the course in Ele-





‘manded here that First Aid be the first
course given, as there was barely time
when the courses were proposed to ar-
range for its ten lectures, to say nothing
of the fifteen lectures required for the
course in Elementary Hygiene and Home
Care of the Sick. With two hundred ap-

| plicants for such a course it was impos-

sible to arrange for more than one lec-
ture a week for each class. At that time
the possibility of courses in Elementary
Hygiene and Home Care of the Sick next
fall was considered.

At best, the graduate of these courses,
as one of the doctors giving First Aid ex-
plained, “is one grade above a scrub-wo-
man, She can be trusted to do no harm.”
The courses do not pretend to turn out
skilled nurses. :

SUPT. OF THE NEW YORK
STATE REFORMATORY TO SPEAK



Mrs. Davis Chosen by Mayor Mitchell as
Most Competent Person for Place



Mrs. Katherine Bement Davis, superin-
tendent of the New York State Reforma-
tory for Women, which has charge of
more than 400 girls, and former head-
worker of the College Settlement in
Philadelphia, will speak_on “The Protec-
tion of Women” in Taylor Hall, April
14th, in connection with Miss Kingsbury’s
class in social study.

According to Miss Marjorie Dorman,
anti-suffragist, Mrs. Davis got her posi-
tion, which was one of the biggest given
out by Mayor Mitchell at his election, not
because she is a suffragist, but because
she is the most competent person in the

.| country to fill such a place.

Woman's service is to society, not to

planation. As soldiers and policemen,
men serve the government, establishing
justice by compulsion, and they deserve
the vote. But this is untrue of women.

Feminists Only Logical Suffragists

As things are now, said Miss Dorman,
no man voter can claim economic sup-
port from anyone else, but all wives can
sue their husbands if such support is
withheld. Feminists are the only logical
suffragists, and even they in their plea
for the equal division of household work
are fallacious, for few homes would go
on happily if the men were given a share
in the domestic labor.

Illinois was the only State where the
votes of the men and women were
counted separately, and there both sexes
voted alike, she said. In her opinion suf-
frage was here only a doubled expense
to the government, and attended by no
exceptional results. The only real way
of uplift, she concluded, is to make hu-
manity better, and this must be by per-
suasion and the influence of mothers on
their children.

SOCIAL STUDY CLASS HOLDS

of students will visit Sleighton Farm, a
reform school for girls near Philadelphia.
Any one who is interested may go. _

Mrs. Falconer, who spoke here last
year, is at the head of the farm. Last
_ year she also invited some of the students
to visit it. They stayed for lunch and
judged a track meet in the afternoon.

It is run on the cottage system with
self-government. The girls receive a
good school education and do a great deal
of work on the farm and in the different
cottages. The* colored girls have a
chorus which is said to be remarkably
good.

MONEY FOR FREE LUNCHES NEEDED

Community Center Holds Entertainment
the Week After Easter

Vaudeville, two plays and folk dancing,
with ice cream and cake sold afterward,
will constitute the entertainment to be
given at Community Center the Friday
after Easter. The money raised will go
toward starting a kindergarten. On the
following afternoon the Mothers’ Club is
to hold a cake and candy sale at which
a novel feature will be a bowl auction.
Every one buying a bowl contributes to
the Free Lunch Fund.

With this fund Miss Smith hopes to be
able to give out one- and three-cent
lunches at the school-house for those who
come to school from a distance.

: Academic Work “Not



cy ‘Pandit from fei y-
~ work as gold fish swimming around ina
great glass globe, entirely free to move
as you wish within the globe, but pro-
tected by the globe from outside non-aca-
demic activities that will kill you, as the
outside air will kill goldfish, if you come
into contact with it. Let us picture to
ourselves for a moment the composition
of this glass globe. First of all it is made
up of the safeguards which the faculty
tries to put around your academic work.
A high standard of examinations is one
very important safeguard. Attendance at
lectures is another. A few years ago the
faculty and students decided that there
was not much use of your spending eight
months at Bryn Mawr College unless you
attend your lectures regularly. The pub-
lic opinion of the student body in regard
to attendance at lectures is now an im-
portant part of this protective glass cov-
ering. The merit law is a component
part of this glass covering. It has been
of untold value to Bryn Mawr College.
So also has the requirement of merits for
student activities. It may seem hard if
you have—accidently as you may think—
got below merit in a certain course to
lose automatically your student posts of
honor and importance, but before you
were protected in this way the activities
of the college were in the hands of girls
who were not good students. If
you will think over the most influential
students now in the college you will find
that they are also the best scholars.

College Papers Representative

“I want to say a few words about your
college papers, the Tipyn o’Bob and the
College News. We have been peculiarly
fortunate at Bryn Mawr College in that
these papers have really expressed to a
great extent the opinions of the students
and yet have done so conservatively in a
way which has done only good to the col-
lege. I am sometimes asked a question
which I wish to answer publicly so that
you will all understand the answer. It is
this—What are the censors of the college
papers? Censors are in very ill repute.
But our censors are really only the means
of bringing public opinion into contact
with the editors. It is their duty to read
the articles before they appear from the
public point of view and to consider them
as they affect the college as a whole, and
I wish to say that our censors do their
duty splendidly.

+ * * *

* ”

“The one thing that we want to create
in you is a spirit of freedom and responsi-
bility. You must think for yourselves.
This is the one supreme thing that we
women must learn. When I work on com-
mittees with Bryn Mawr graduates who
have been out of college for a few years
there is nothing delights me more
than to find that they are the most inde-
pendent women I know: They seem to
me really free women. To make them so
is Bryn Mawr’s highest mission. If any-
thing in the college seems to you not to
foster this spirit of liberty and freedom I
beg you to do something about it at once.
I should lose much of my profound love
for Bryn Mawr if I did not believe that
you, her students, are learning here to be
free”.

FAMOUS BIOLOGIST WILL SPEAK
AT BRYN MAWR AFTER EASTER



Dr. Loeb Will Describe Plant Life



Dr. Jaques Loeb, the author of “The
Mechanistic Conception of Life’, and for
one year a professor at Bryn Mawr, will
speak in chapel on April 13th under the
auspices of the Science Club. His subject
will be “Recapitulation and Segregation
of Plant Life”.

Dr. Loeb was originally called from
Switzerland to America by President
Thomas, and is now working in the Rock-
efeller Institute in New York, where he



has done remarkable pioneer work in the)

artificial reproduction of life.

~ (Continued from Page a
Hot Discussion on Both Sides _
. The hotly debated motion that followed,
to substitute preparedness work for seven

‘and a half hours of regular work, brought

out both sides of the question. Those for
the. substitution argued that, although the
courses would necessarily be ‘much con-
densed, they would still fit those who
took them to fill the minor positions of
the men called out. As these courses
would be in connection with a student's
major, they urged, they would not seri-
ously damage her academic work, only
give it practical application.

The negative argument urged that only
those who are leaving college this year
will be able to apply the training received
in these courses. Furthermore, they said,
such courses would be only a temporary
digression from the life work of most of
the students and that a completed college
course would outweigh such values,

Action Not Binding

The two motions discussed at this meet-
ing were in the form of a sense of the
meeting. They were intended to indicate
popular feeling and were not binding on
the Association. A. D. Shipley, president
of the Association, urged that some defi-
nite action be taken before Easter. The
committee on preparedness, with the Ad-
visory Board of the Association, was em-
powered to investigate this matter still
further and report at a future meeting.
This meeting took place yesterday after
the News went to print.

A motion made by G. Malone that a
new preparedness committee be formed,
one member to be elected from each
class, was defeated.

AMERICAN SPEAKS IN PARIS



Prof. Carter on Our Bygone Neutrality



A large number of distinguished French
men and women at the Sorbonne Satur-
day heard Prof. Jesse B. Carter, Director
of the American Academy 4t Rome, speak
on the relation of the United States to
Europe.

Professor Carter, as a lecturer from the
Cercle Francais of Harvard University,
has been giving lectures in the university
towns of France such as Nantes, Rouen,
Nancy, Lyons, and Marseilles. He closed
the series at the Sorbonne with a sketch
on the evolution of American opinion from
neutrality, in what it first regarded as a
struggle for national power between two
groups of belligerents, to the perception
that now one of the groups is fighting for
its own liberty and that of the small peo-
ples of Europe, governed against their
will.

Glee Club Performance
Better than Last Year

(Continued from Page 1)

gent, from its subtly simple heroine, im-
perceptibly ‘‘yearning” her living, to the
voicelessly eloquent solicitor who did a
sufficiently nice piece of acting to war-
rant his name appearing on the program,
though he shared his oblivion with the il-
lustrious authors.

The choruses showed uncommonly
well planned business in their grouping
and entrances. Their singing was exact
and controlled and gave good proof of
Mr. Grant’s excellent coaching. The love-
sick maidens were convincingly sorrow-
ful and the heavy dragoons were tremen-
dous.

Patience Entirely Adequate

The most entirely satisfactory part was
undoubtedly that of Patience by Thalia
Smith. Her voice although not strong
enough for solo singing was managed
with much grace and her interpretation
was thoroughly charming and entirely
adequate. The winning, wholesome, un-
affected little milkmaid offered just the
contrast needed to set off the languid
maidens with the decadent Jane as their
apogee. “Dorothea Chambers as Jane
was not sufficiently definite, but got al-
most all the comedy possible out of her
part. Margaret Hutchins as the Lady
Angela showed the greatest finish of all
the actors, but Katherine Clifford, Lady
Ella, is especially to be congratulated on
the ease with which she carried the part
of Lady Saphir at the eleventh hour in ad-
dition to her own, as Evelyn Wight lost
her voice.

Bunthorne Best in Difficult Places

The part of Bunthorne was done with
intermittent excellence by Frances Ful-
ler. The most difficult parts were inter-
preted with understanding, but there
were lapses which kept it from being
wholly consistent throughout. Miss Ful-
ler showed a really remarkable control of
her voice though the continual rising
and falling inflection was at times mo-
notonous.

Angela Moore as Grosvenor sang beau-
tifully. The “Silver Churn”, with its ac-
companying chorus, was deservedly one
of the hits of the play. The part was not,
however, sufficiently contrasted with Bun-
thorne to be effective. All the other parts
were satisfactory especially Helen Hunt-
ting who, as the colonel, did some good
bits of acting.

The costuming was effective and stood

‘The Picaro Returns in Postry

are thoroughly representative of several
tendencies of the present day. In its set-
ting the fiction ranges from South Amer-
ica to Labrador and the “Guide for Beg-

Lindsay,
many States. | .

“The Purple Land”, by W. W. Hudson,
with an introduction by Theodore Roose-
velt, is, as James Barrie says, “one of
the choicest things of our latter day lit-
erature”. The story is of the wanderings
of an engaging youth through the Banda
Oriental of South America.

“The Emperor of Portugalia”, by Selma
Lagerléff, is a romance of simple life in
Sweden. Miss Lagerléff is the only
woman to receive the Nobel prize for lit-
erature. Dr. Grenfell has a collection of
stories of Eskimo life in Labrador, ‘The
Tales of Labrador’. Sixty dollars from

the C. A. budget goes to the support of
his mission.

New Collection by Wilfred Gibson

Vachel Lindsay, a young American
poet, has called his new book “A Handy
Guide for Beggars”. It is the description
of “sundry explorations, made while afoot
and penniless”, to “convey and illustrate
the rules of beggary for poets and some
others”. Wilfred Gibson has a new col-
lection, “Livelihood”, in which he repu-
diates the theory of vers libre. The
poems by Edgar Lee Masters, which have

periodicals, have now been collected in
a volume, ‘‘Lays and Satires’’.

CAMPUS NOTES



Dr. Samuel C. Chew has published a
review in the April number of Modern
Language Notes on the “Life and Letters
of Watts-Dunton” and “Old Familiar
Faces” by the same author.

The general draw for rooms will take
place on Monday afternoon, April 16.
1918 draws at 4.00 p. m., 1919 at 4.10,
1920 at 4.30. Forty-one have entered the
draw, 2 from 1918, 17 from 1919, and 22
from 1920.

After Easter the members for the 1917-
"18 cabinet of the Christian Association
will be elected. Each class elects one
representative on each committee; these
representatives form the cabinet.

A Vocational Conference on “The
Drama” will be held at the Little Theatre,
17th and Delancey Streets, on Thursday,
April 12th. Admission will be 50 cents,
but tickets admitting Bryn Mawr students
free can be obtained from Dean Schenck’s
office.

E. Lanier ’19 is head of the Community
Center Committee for playground super-
vision.

Dr. Wheeler has been re-elected a mem-
ber of the Executive Committee of the
