SECOND SENIOR GERMAN SHOWS
BETTER RECORD THAN en
Eight in. Left to Take Both

_ Languages at Next Trial in March
_ A better record for the second Senior
German examination than has been made
by any class since 1912 was posted for
1918 outside Miss Dimon’s door the morn-
ing after the Christmas vacation, The
French marks, posted the day before the
vacation, were slightly worse than any
since 1914, when 50 per cent failed.
Eight Seniors have still both examina-
tions to take. Thirty-six have passed
both, and sixteen have one examination
—either French or German.
The third Senior examination in French
comes March 16th; that in German,
. March 23d.

1920 and 1921 to D t. Decide Whether
‘They Take Senior Examinations



For members of the Classes of 1920 and
1921, “writtens” on Junior and Sophomore
summer reading will be optional. This is

,} the purport of a recent decision of the

Faculty, which has been given out offi-
cially to the News.

The new plan, announced last nile,
whereby one foreign language (in addi-
tion to Latin) is offered at entrance, and
a second at the beginning of the Junior
year, becomes compulsory in 1923. In the
meantime, the two lower classes now in
college, and the classes which enter :be-
tween 1918 and 1922, will be allowed to
choose between the old and new systems.
1919, since it cannot comply with the new

‘requirements demanding an examination

at the beginning of the Junior year, must
graduate, as will 1918, under the old sys-
tem of four Senior examinations, The
official statement follows:

“At the last stated meeting of the Fac-
ulty on December 18th the regulation
was passed affecting Freshmen and
Sophomores now in the college and stu-
dents entering under the old plan of ex-
aminations in the autumn of 1918. In
view of the fact that beginning with the
autumn of 1918 candidates may enter
Bryn Mawr College under the new plan
of entrance examinations and may also
take their degrees under the new plan,
which becomes obligatory for all students
entering college in and after 1923, the
Faculty voted that next year’s Juniors,
Sophomores, and next year’s Freshmen
entering under the old plan of examina-
tions should be permitted to choose
whether they prefer to take their degrees
under the new plan or under the old plan,
which is optional for students entering
college from 1918 to 1922. Under the new
plan students are required to offer at en-
trance only one foreign language in addi-
tion to Latin, i. e., Greek, or French, or
German, and to take at the beginning of
each year, including the Senior year, a
written examination in the language se-
lected, the only exception being in the
case of students who have selected
Greek at entrance and have taken a
course of two or three hours a week in
Greek in any given year, such students
being excused from taking the examina-
tion in Greek at the beginning of the fol-
lowing year. The penalty for not passing
this examination at the beginning of the
Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior
years is that students who receive “B”
must take and pay for one tutoring class
a week throughout the year and students
who receive “C”’ must take and pay for
two tutoring classes throughout the year.

Junior year an hour’s examination in an-
other foreign language—-French, if French
was not offered at entrance, or German,
if German was not offered at entrance, or
Greek or Spanish, with the understand-
ing, however, that students who offer
Greek for entrance are required to select
either French or German for their Junior
examination, and if they fail to pass this
examination must take throughout the

class two hours a week throughout the.

Methods of $10,000
To be $1A800 Calas Campsie

Plans for the administration of the
Service Corps and the $10,000 campaign
at college are now under way. An execu-
tive committee for the Service Corps,
composed of three alumne and three War
Council members, will be suggested by
the Alumnz War Committee at the Feb-
ruary Alumne Association meeting. They
also advise a Trust Fund, held by the
treasurer of the Alumnez Association.
Meetings of the Department of Red
Cross and Allied Relief and of the Execu-
tive Staff take place to-night. They must
pass the Alumne War Committee’s plans
before final ratification by the » War
Council next Monday.
Assessment or Pledging Considered
Assessment by classes or individual
pledging, both methods used for the En-
dowment Fund, are probable campaign
features. Varsity Dramatics, if they are
decided on, will be given for the benefit
of the Service Corps,

The plan of the Alumnzw War Coimmit-
tee is in detail:

1. Funds for the Service Corps shall be
raised by the Department of Red Cross
and Allied Relief and by the Alumne As-
sociation.

It is recommended that money received
by the War Council be handed at once to
the treasurer of the Alumn@ Association
to be kept in a Trust Fund until ex-
pended. Money collected by any alumnz
committee would normally be handed to
the treasurer as above.

2. A committee of six shall be ap-
appointed as an executive committee for
the Bryn Mawr Service Corps. This com-
mittee to be made up of three alumnz
appointed by the Alumnz Association
and three members from the War Coun-
cil. The Alumnz War Committee sug-
gests that the members from the War
Council be the chairman of the Council,
the director of the Department of Red
Cross and Allied Relief, and a Faculty
member,

3. The function of the Executive Com-
mittee shall be to make final decisions
and arrangements for all members of the
Service Corps, and to expend the funds.

|LIGHTLESS NIGHTS NOT A SAVING
WITH COLLEGE LIGHTING
SYSTEM



College Coal Outlook Promising
Not an extra piece of coal is used by -
ihe college for lighting under the present
system of heating, President Thomas ex-
plained Monday morning in Chapel. In
cold weather a certain number of boilers
in the college power house must be kept
under fire and the exhaust steam from
these boilers that would otherwise be
wasted is utilized to run the dynamos.
As long as only the exhaust steam is used
for lighting no economy is. effected by
cutting down the number of lights.
_ Students can conserve heat by turning
off thie thermostats when the windows are
open. The authorities at present hope
that the college will be able to get
through the winter without having to
shut down on account of lack of coal.





CHINESE SCHOLAR AT SHIPLEY
$30,000 Needed For Scholarship

The Bryn Mawr Chinese scholar, Fung
Kei Liu, is at the Shipley School this year
preparing for Bryn Mawr. She. expects
to enter in the fall of 1920. She comes
from Canton and has studied for a num-
ber of years at the Canton Christian Col-
lege with which Fannie Sinclair Woods
‘01 and her husband, Dr. Andrew Woods,
are connected,

Fung Kei’s sister, Fung Hui Liu, gradu-
ated in 1914 from Wellesley, where she
made a brilliant record, took her master’s
degree at Columbia, and is now head of
an important girls’ school at Canton. In
the spring of 1915 she visited Bryn Mawr.

In 1920 another Chinese girl will enter
Bryn Mawr, Helen Wong, who is now at
Miss Madeira’s school in Washington.
Her father is superintendent of Chinese
students in -this-ecountry.



More Money Needed

At “China Night”, the entertainment
held last year to rouse interest in a Bryn
Mawr Chinese scholar, Professor Don-
nelly, who spent the summer of 1916 in
China, outlined the plans for getting the
$30,000 necessary for Fung Kei Liu’s four
years at college. $10,000 has been raised
by a committee of which Miss Donnelly is
chairman, Mrs. Simon Flexner’ vice-
chairman, Mrs. Robert Speer secretary,
and Mrs. William Roy Smith treasurer.
The alumnez will be approached at the



| February meeting and asked to pledge

of the students, and on the opinion of the |
Russian Class, composed of the Faculty |

the Faculty is said to think that a course |

will be paid twenty-five cents per exami-_

small sums from one to one hundred dol-
lars, payable within five years. On ac-
count of the war, no actual campaign will
be undertaken.

A committee of the Undergraduate As-
sociation on a Chinese Scholarship was
considered last year, but was never
formed owing to the students’ preoccupa-
tion with the Endowment Fund.

POEMS WANTED FOR ANTHOLOGY
Bryn Mawr Asked to Contribute

Poems for a College Anthology, pub-
lished by the Stratford Company, Boston,
have been asked of the college through
notices sent to the office. M. Rupert "18,
editor-in-chief of Tipyn o’ Bob, will select
a contribution to be sent in some time in
March. Possibly she will use only gradu-
ate work, she says.

The Anthology last year was composed
of short stories instead of verse. One

/own work during a large part of the time. | story was sent in by a member of 1918.
















‘Prndical at Last
An editorial in the Public Ledger of
Tuesday, January 8th, entitled “A Victory

for the Psychologists”, deserves quota-
tion in a college paper not so much as an
item of interest to students in psychology,
whose notice it may have escaped, but
rather as an answer to those who main-
tain that in college one learns nothing
practical. There is, no doubt, a good deal
to be said in support of the impressive
statement “that Bryn Mawr is a direct
training for refined leisure”, but articles
such as the following supply at least a
partial and gratifying refutation:

“Those who have been amusing them-
selves over the possible discomfiture of
the experimental psychologists who re-
cently set out to make tests of the vari-
‘ous cantonments, will have their laugh
for their pains, sinee certain trials re-
cently made at Camp Dix, at Wrights-
town, have proved the efficacy of the psy-
chological tests beyond all question.
What happened was that in a single ex-
amination lasting about an hour the sci-
entific method yielded a crop of about
eighty men out of six hundred as repre-
senting the best of the group. To the
credit of the system and the professors
these eighty men proved to be the men
who also had been picked out by the otfti-
cers after weeks of observation as the
best men. The net result, of course, of
this experiment is in favor of the psy-
chological method as a matter of quick-
ness, as well as exactness. * * * * *
From this Camp Dix test it is plain that
‘the psychological test should prove of an
immediate practical help in sorting out
the efficients in the service, and as speed
is required in building up the army, this
phase of the artificial selection ought to
appeal to the military authorities, even
to those who may have prejudices against
the ways of professors and experts in ex-
perimental psychology”.



In Spite of Ourselves

In a community in which grumbling is
an easy and pleasant habit, any expres-
sion of contentment with existing sur-
roundings comes with rather a shock.
The gay declaration of many students

last Thursday that they “came back to
college to get warm” is as refreshing as
it is startling.

After all, a great deal is done to make
life comfortable here at college, and why
not occasionally admit it? The burden
of war conservation, now beginning to be
felt by conscientious patriots throughout
the country, has been shouldered here en-
tirely by the college authorities. The
rooms are warm and. well lighted, and
careful substitutes for wheat and meat
arranged by those who make out the
menus. How far we really@.re from feel-
ing the pinch!

IN THE NEW BOOK ROOM
Three books by Henry James:
The Middie Years, edited from bio
graphical notes written in the summer
of 1914.

The Ivory Tower, an unfinished novel |
setting forth the problems of a young >
American who has unexpectedly inher- |

ited a fortune.

The Sense of the Past, an unfinished
novel of contemporary London life with
a curious psychological plot suggesting
the super-sensible.

the discussion that took place on a reso-
lution in regard to the advisability of the
National American Woman Suffrage As-
sociation raising $175,000 to equip and
send to France a hospital unit made up
entirely of women physicians, surgeons,
nurses, ambulance drivers, etc. I was

| not given an opportunity of seeing this re-

port before it was published and it at-
tributes to me two statements which I did
not make, as follows:

“President Thomas asserted in answer:
General Gorgas has promised to appoint
women for army positions as soon as
men are no longer available”, and fur-
ther:

“She mentioned the President’s order
allowing women to enlist in the medical
corps and declared the position of the
Red Cross in not allowing women in army
camps ‘very reasonable’.”

These statements are, I believe, not in
accordance with fact. The Surgeon Gen-
eral of the United States has not the
power at present to appoint women to
army positions, therefore, he cannot
promise to do so. The President has not
issued an order permitting women to en-
list in the medical reserve corps. The
Red Cross has nothing to do with allow-
ing or not allowing women physicians in
army camps and I did not therefore say
that its action was reasonable or unrea-
sonable.

I should therefore be very glad if you
would publish this correction. What I
said was that at the present time women
physicians and surgeons could not be
commissioned as officers in the United
States army and could not therefore be
appointed to such positions by the Sur-
geon General of the United States or rec-
ommended for such commissions by the
Red Cross, which hands over its medical
units as soon as they are formed to the
United States army. I further said that
I had been informed by Major Winfred
Smith of the Surgeon General’s Office,
that in order to commission women as
medical officers it would be necessary
either forthe President of the United
States to issue an order enabling them
to be appointed or for Congress to take
similar action. I further said that both
Dr. Winfred Smith and Dr. Pearce of the
Red Cross, had informed me that there
were at the present time thousands of
men reserve medical officers who had not
been called on and it was in this connec-
tion that I said that it seemed to me very
reasonable that as long as there was an
abundant supply of men women should
not be called on for service in the United
States army. I finally said that I had
what I believed to be trustworthy infor-
mation that as soon as there was a short-
age of men physicians and surgeons the
question of commissioning women would
be taken up by the Surgeon General him-
self.

Very sincerely yours,
M. Carey Thomas.

LOST AND FOUND MAKES EXPENSES



Takes in $50 from Sale of Old Gowns

The Appointment Bureau co-operates
with the Intercollegiate Bureaus of Occu-

City. It is in especially close touch with
the Philadelphia Bureau of Occupations
of which Dean Taft is a director and Mrs.
William Roy Smith the president of the
Board of Directors. Seniors wanting po-
sitions other than teaching are advised to
register with the bureaus in the vicinity
of their homes. The Registration Depart-
ment of the War Council is to assist in
this work by getting speakers throughout
the year on the new vocational openings
for women.

Special Appeal to Teachers

Since the Intercollegiate Bureaus of
Occupations do not furnish information
with regard to teaching positions, the Ap-
pointment Bureau under Dean Taft is
making a special effort to find out about
the positions available in good schools.
Bryn Mawr alumne branches are being
asked to tell the schools in their vicinity
of the work of the Appointment Bureau.

WAR WORK AMONG ISSUES ALUMN4
WILL DECIDE AT ANNUAL
MEETING



Result of Elections to be Announced

The question of the form of war work
they will support will come before the
Alumne at the afternoon session of their
Annual Meeting, to be held in the Chapel
February 2d. Other business to be taken
up in the afternoon is the proposal of.an
amendment to the by-laws raising the
dues, and the deed of the gift of the
Mary E. Garrett Memorial Endowment
Fund. The morning session will be given
over to reports from the various commit-
tees. At its close there will be an
Alumnez luncheon in Pembroke.

Ballot for Association Offices

The announcement of the election of
the officers of the Association and of the
Academic Committee for the term 1918-
20 will come at the end of the afternoon
session.

Candidates nominated by the Nominat-
ing Committee are: President, Louise
Congdon Francis ’00 and Jeanne Kerr
Fleishmann 10; vice-president, Johanna
Kroeber Mosenthal ’00 and Catherine De-
lano Grant ’11; recording secretary, Alice
M. Hawkins '07 and Hilda W. Smith ’10;
corresponding secretary, Margaret Bonte-

Bertha S. Ehlers '09 and Katharine Mc-
Collin '15. For the Academic Committee
the Board of Directors has nominated
Grace Latimer Jones '00 and Esther Low-
enthal '05.

Short Speeches at Open Meeting

An open meeting preceding the Annual
Meeting will be held in the Chapel at
eight o’clock the evening of February Ist.
| President Thomas will speak on the Edu-
cational Department of the Association of

whether they could supply a coach and
what the cost would be. No replies have

The cost of putting up the stage, and
of lighting and scenery cannot be esti-

Watson of the Business Office when asked
for an estimate.

M. Martin ’19, chairman of the com-
mittee, interviewed Professor Baker of
Harvard with little success.

Whether Varsity dramatics will actually
be given, should a fairly sure profit for
War Relief be promised by the Investi-

of the Undergraduate Association. A
meeting will be called as soon as more
exact estimates are made.

LECTURER WILL TELL HOW WOMEN
ARE HELPING TO WIN THE WAR



Address To-morrow Afternoon in Taylor

Miss Helen Fraser of England will
speak to-morrow afternoon, Friday, at
4.15 in Taylor on “Women’s Part in Win-
ning the War’, At one of the meetings
of the National Suffrage Convention in
Washington a few weeks ago Miss Fraser
gave an address on the War Work of
Women in England, describing, among
other types of service, that of girls in
munition factories.

In England Miss Fraser was, perhaps,
more influential than any other woman in
putting through the work of National
War Savings. She came over to this
country at the request of Vassar, Bryn
Mawr and other women’s colleges to pre-
sent to women in America the accom-
plishment in war work of the women of
England. She is an organizer and speaker
for the English Food Control Committee
and a regular member of the Executive
Committee of the National Union of
Women’s Suffrage Societies.

President Thomas has suggested that
the lecturer might be asked to allow time
to answer questions after her talk, and
that the War Council might like to meet
her in the Deanery later.

BRYN MAWR COLLEGE FOOD CON-
SERVATION REGULATIONS



In order to comply with the request of
the Food Administration, Bryn Mawr Col-
lege is carrying out the following regula-
tions in the arrangement of its menu:

No meat in any form is served on Tues-
day. (Fish and poultry are not included

No wheat in any form is served on
Wednesday. (This includes macaroni,
spaghetti, vermicelli, and wheaf flour in
any forms. Cream dressings must be
thickened with cornstarch or rice flour.)

No pork in any form is served on Sat-
urday.

In addition to which one wheatless and
one meatless meal is served each day.
Furthermore, no wheat cereals are pro-
vided for breakfast, and corn, rice, or
buckwheat griddle cakes, and corn, rye,
and oatmeal or bran muffins only are
served. Also at all other meals except
Sunday morning breakfast and the wheat-
less meals, war bread is served, and
where. possible varied with corn, rye, or
bran bread and rolls.




















are ‘seising. every available moment for
practise. The meet, which last year was
so spectacularly won by 1920, includes
eight events: 68 ft. speed swim front,
136 ft. speed swim front, 68 ft. speed
swim back, 136 ft. speed swim back,
plunge for distance, form diving, fancy
diving, and class relay.

In all the events but the diving the
scoring is 5 points for first place, 3 for
second, and 1 for third. In form diving,
for which each contestant offers one dive
from the table, one from the spring board,
and one running from the spring board,
the score is reckoned on a basis of 30
points for perfect form. In fancy diving
any three fancy dives may be offered, and
they are judged according to their diffi-
culty, with ten points as the standard of
perfection.

Three Sophomores Titte Holders
_K. Townsend, 1920’s captain, holds the
records for the 68 ft. and 136 ft. front
speed swims, and 1920’s manager, M. S.

’ Cary, is the title holder for the 68 ft.

and 136 ft. back speed swims. The plunge
record is held by M. R. Brown, 1920.
1917 holds the record in the class relay,
and M. Scattergood ’17 and V. Litchfield
"17 hold the titles respectively for fancy
dive and form dive.

BE. Cope, Freshman captain, is expected
to make a good showing in the speed
swims. In her authorization last fall she
did the 136 ft. front swim in better time
than the holder of second place in last
year’s meet.

HOBNAILS FOR SHOES THIS YEAR



It is rumoured that hobnails will be
used in women’s shoes this season as a
war measure and to give a military touch,
according to the New York Times. The
matter is to be decided this week by the
convention of retail merchants being held
in Chicago.

The price of shoes is still mounting
since leather is increasing in cost.






_ and.mnanagers are: 1918, A. Gest and

At the petition of ten members Presi-
dent Howell called a meeting of the Ath-

question of abolishing water-polo, ‘as an
interclass sport.

tween abolishing it altogether and keep-
ing it as it is, was proposed Tuesday
night at a preliminary meeting of the Ath-

and a few representative players.

Results of last night’s meeting were not

HARVARD EDITORS RESIGN



Charge That “Pull” Controls Advocate

“Four members of the sophomore class
at Harvard have resigned from the liter-
‘ary board of The Harvard Advocate”, ac-
| cording to a recent dispatch in the New
' York Times, “charging that this, the old-
est and most conservative of Harvard
publications, is a literary degenerate and
| that ‘pull’, rather than excellence in prose
;and verse, is the stepping stone to its
| places of honor”.

In explaining their resignation the men

say: “Our resignation is a protest against |

‘the choice of Benjamin W. Thoron as
president, who obtained his election to
‘the board and to the presidency through
personal influence and who has never
either before or since his election pub-
lished a solitary line in The Advocate.
‘ The explanation ... of
the literary degeneracy of The Adliecthe
| lies in the fact that the publication has
become a social affair, interested in verse
and prose as a side issue”.

REFUGEES POUR INTO PARIS



E. Dulles '17 Writes of Welcoming Re-
patriated with Food and Baths

In a recent dispatch to the News from
Paris, E. Dulles ’17 describes the welcome
given to the French and Belgian refugees
as they cross the German border into
Switzerland. Miss Dulles has been abroad
working under the Shurtleff War Relief
Committee since immediately after her
graduation last June, and has spent part
of the time in Switzerland with her
brother, who-is in the diplomatie corps.

“One thousand men, women, and. chil-
dren, who are daily repatriated through
Switzerland into France, make more difti-
cult the problems of committees such as
the Shurtleff relief work in Paris, in
which several Bryn Mawr graduates are
working.

“About 83,000 refugees have come to
Paris. Most of them are destitute and
forced to live on the allowance from the
government of about 25 cents per person
aday. The health of the refugees as seen
by the workers shows the effects of pri-
vation, bombardment and mental suffer-



ing, especially when they have been held |

in Belgium for five months. The with-
drawal of the Hoover commission has put
an end to the good bread, bits of cake,
and nourishing cereal from America of
which the children speak with longing
recollection.

“They are usually sent from Belgium
through Germany in cattle trains and
enter Switzerland at Bale. Almost at
once the joyous welcome—chocolate,
fruit, flags and flowers—begins.
most stirring sight in France in war time,
according to many, is one of these trains,
crowded with 500 laughing, crying people,
the old, the sick, the wounded, and the
little children, waving flags and shouting
with intense enthusiasm,

“At Evian, France, they are fed, ques-
tioned, given clothing ahd invited to use

i

| commonplace”,

M. Bacon '18, L. T. Smith "18, E. Biddle
‘19, D. Chambers '19 and M. M. Carey °20,
went as delegates from Bryn Mawr to
the Conference of the World’s Student
Volunteer Movement, held last week-end
at Northfield, Massachusetts.

Two alumne, Grace Hutchins 07 and
May Fleming ’07, were there.

Bryn Mawr sent delegates to the last
Conference, which was held at Kansas
City in 1914.

“France and America are in the posi-
tion of two people who have become en-

gaged by correspondence and are meeting

for the first time in the flesh”, she writes.
The instinctive attempt of the American
is to transform the Frenchman’s “ancient,
hand-made, delicately adjusted civiliza-
tion into the hyper-modern, 10,000 horse-
power, free and easy terms of Kansas,
California, and New York”. The article
traces and illustrates this. tendency in
some detail.. 2

In her Senior year Miss Sergeant was
awarded the George W. Childs’ essay
prize for 1903.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Katherine Holliday ‘18 has announced
her engagement to Joseph J. Daniels of
Indianapolis, first lieutenant in the 327th

her engagement to Mr. Eugene White-
head of Augusta, Ga.

Helen Karns '19 has announced her en-
gagement to Mr. Carol Champlin, Pro-
fessor of Education at the University of
Pittsburgh.

Word has been received from France
that two of the boxes sent to Noyon by
the Junk Committee were sunk. The five
that were sent through the American
Girls’ Aid arrived safely. Two others

‘have not been heard from.

V. Kneeland ’18 spoke on the War

various branches of the work of the Phil-
adelphia Electrical Company, was the
subject of a lecture last Friday night by
Mr. Herbert Eglin, vice-president of the
company. a8

No previous scientific training is neces-
sary for entrance, and a $50 monthly
salary, with opportunity for promotion to
regular positions, is offered to all who
take the course. The company hopes to
begin the class immediately. The work
is full time, from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m.

Mr. Eglin sketched the enormous
growth of the electrical industry, saying

creased from $15,000,000 in 1885 to $440,-
000,000 in 1915, and that whereas 30,300

was the number in 1912. It ‘is now the
fourth most important industry of the
United States.

There is no position in the whole com-
pany, said Mr. Eglin, which could not be
filled by women after at least four
months’ training. At present 99 per cent
of the workers in the draughting room
are women, and the testing of meters
and instruments will probably be given
over to women very soon.

The lecture, which was the first of a
series arranged for by the Registration
Department of the War Council acting as
a placement agency, was illustrated by
lantern slides showing views of different
power companies of this country, and pic-
tures taken of the wonderful electric
lighting achievements seen at the San
Francisco Exposition in 1915.

Mr. Eglin entertained Dean Taft, Dr.
Barnes, and Miss Gordon Woodbury ’'19
at dinner at the Merion Cricket Club be-
fore the lecture. Miss Woodbury is sec-
retary of the Registration Department of
the War Council.

required for their degree. If the Student

| fails again at the beginning of her Senior

year she will not receive her degree at
the end of this year, but must take and
pass another examination at the begin-
ning of the next college year.

This year’s Junior Class, which will be
the Senior Class of next year, cannot com-
ply with the requirements of the new plan
and will, therefore, be required to take
its degrees under the old plan. Under
the new plan of entrance examinations
optional in 1918 and under the new lan-
guage requirements for the bachelor’s
degree it is not necessary to study Ger-
man as all students have the option of
Greek or Spanish.

“C” in the written examinations on sum-
mer reading this autumn to take two tu-
toring classes a week when it was found
that students had not received due notice

Attention is called to the fact that the
