aie “Week-End Conference of the
Christian Association to be held in April
will be in connection with this conference
and outside speakers who have attended
Silver Bay will take part.

Admission an Exception
. Bryn Mawr’s admission to Silver Bay
is an exception to the rule and in regard
to it Miss Louise Brooks, Student Secre-
tary of the Department of Conventions
_ and Conferences, said, “There was a good
deal of discussion on this point and it is
hardly fair to send this invitation to you
without also telling you that we are éx-
tremely anxious to maintain the Eagles
Mere program and conference as it is
and we therefore hope that Bryn Mawr
will not necessarily influence any of the
other colleges of Pennsylvania to ask for
the same exception”.

A Wellesley student, when she heard
that Bryn Mawr was to attend Silver
Bay, said, “We are awfully glad. We
thought you were holding aloof because
you did not come. We can hardly wait
to know what you are like’’.

THE QUESTION OF MERITS
NEW RULING HITS GLEE CLUB



Dean Schenk’s letter to students lack-
ing the required number of merits and to
presidents of associations and clubs, cap-
tains of teams, and so forth, contains the
following complete statement as_ to
merits:

“No student who has not received the
grade of Merit in more than one-half her
work may take part in any College enter-
tainment (exception being made to chor-
uses in the Freshman Show), hold any
College or class office, act as captain or
manager of any athletic team, serve on
committees, or do any paid work”.

Two of the clauses, startling in their
scope, have already done drastic work.
The ruling in regard to College enter-
tainments has cut down the choruses in
Glee Club and necessitated a new pianist.
The regulation as to serving on commit-
tees has probably not left a sinngle com-
mittee in College unchanged. Formerly
only the heads of committees had to have
their merits. None of the other provi-
sions, including the exception made to
choruses in Freshman Show, are new.

The measure is explained in the Dean’s
letter as. intended to save students’ time
and to improve the quality of their work.

SPRING STREET CELEBRATION
MARRED BY CHICKEN-POX



Toys for Children Saved Till They Are
Well



Only eleven children of the Spring
Street Day Nursery enjoyed the Christ-
mas Celebration at the Neighborhood
House on December 19th as the others
were suffering from chicken-pox. Kath-
erine Garoti was the only one of the Bates
House contingent of last summer who
escaped, but the others will have a tree
and their toys when they are well again.

The mothers came for their children at}
six o’clock and during the ice cream party |

that followed, while Katherine was
clutching her doll to her heart, her
mother was heard to say, “Katherine,

that’s a beautiful doll.
I'll whip you good”.

The stockings, sixty dresses, the toys
for the-little boys and the dolls for the
little girls were sent by the Sewing Com-
mittee of the Christian Association. Miss
Anne Wiggin, resident in charge, wrote to
Miss Applebee, “The stockings and dolls
and nursery clothing from Bryn Mawr
were all perfectly fine, and I certainly am
grateful to every one who hada part in
sending them. Will you please see that
the proper people get thanked, and that
you keep your proper share’?
