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.

500,000, have been purchased from the

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“George Edmund Street, Unpublished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 |

freshments and E. Adams, of the Program

“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. |

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
