Would More Orals Help?
The prize for general information on
current events, which President Thomas
is considering offering will help to fill
a need long felt at college. Though com-
petition for this prize will be purely op-
tional, the mere fact of there being an

men’s colleges of America to know as
little as we do of current events is little
less than disgraceful and any chance to

of college.
An examination for this prize would
have to be held, of course, and the ques-
tion is shall it be oral or written? Cer-
tainly the disasterous results of the
French Senior oral examination last Sat-
urday might be set down partly to the
fact that those taking the examination
had had almost no experience in oral ex-
aminations and therefore were rattled
and lost their nerve.

THE COLLEGE NEWS
“Children Should Be Seen—Not Heard”
‘A running comment of extraneous and
'|facetious comments seems to be the popu- |”
lar accompaniment of tennis galleries at
college. The habit is as annoying to the
interested spectators as it is to the play-|-
ers. Yet neither the glares of linesmen
nor the sh-sh’s of those who have the
proctoring habit penetrate the happy un-
consciousness of those who announce
proudly: “Well, I don’t know why I’m
clapping, but I’m sure it’s all right’.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
(The editors do not hold themselves responsible
for opinions expressed in this column)
To the Editor of the “College News”:
Although a large number of Bryn
Mawr alumnae have spent some or all
of their time in social work after college,
not all have taken advantage of their
opportunities as undergraduates to dis-
cuss social problems and learn methods
of social work. There are many people
in college who have had some experience,
some who have had much experience,
and everyone represents a slightly differ-
ent point of view as to social and civic
needs, and how to meet them. The es-
sential thing is to bring the people to-
gether now for their mutual benefit and
to start an association which will help
them in their work after college.
The College Settlement chapter is for
this purpose. It is being reorganized
now. It is in a plastic state and you can
make it what you want. It will be a
stimulus to your real interests in social
work if you will tell us what they are,
The College Settlement Association
needs your support in its work and
offers you opportunities for training now
and even more especially after college.
Eleanor L. Dulles. ‘17,
Undergraduate Elector.
To the Editor of the “College News”:
In reply to the letter by “Chantecler”
in your last issue, might I ask if he has
attended Chapel this year? Many of the
old hymn books that could not be used
have been rebound and there are now, I
think, almost a sufficient number to pro-
vide one book for every two persons.
Only the very back rows which I have
never seen occupied except upon such
state occasions as May .Day and the
Christmas service, are now left destitute.
As for the serious lack of books at morn-
ing Chapel the blame may be laid to the
door of Nelson, who has neglected to put
them round, he has been spoken to and
the defect will doubtless be remedied.
Furthermore I hope that a new supply of
books will soon be added to those we
already have so that there will be no
shortage whatsoever. In the meantime
will “Chantecler” play the part of a
Christian, however foreign it may be to
his nature, and bear with us a little.
Jeannette Ridlon ’18,
(Chairman of the Religious Meetings
Committee).
