Cum Laude Average of 92.44

Announcement of the senior and grad-
uate European fellowships and of the
senior “upper ten” will be made by Pres-
ident Thomas tomorrow morning in
chapel. Resident Fellowships, including
the Brooke Hall scholarship awarded to
the junior with the highest average, will
not be announced until May Ist. M.
Timpson ‘18 received this scholarship
last_year.

The highest average made by a senior
European fellow under the present sys-
tem of marking is 92.444. This record
was made by Marguerite Darkow, of
Philadelphia, in 1915. Records for other
years are

1917 Thalia Smith, 88.376
- 1916 Marian Kleps, 87.328

1915 Marguerite Darkow, 92.444

The distinction “summa cum laude”
is given for an average of 90 or over,
“magna cum laude” for 85 to 90, and
“cum laude” for 80 to 85. Last year 5.6
percent of the class graduated “magna
cum laude”, and 21.1 percent “cum
laude”.

Two graduate European fellowships
may be announced: the President M.
Carey Thomas European Fellowship for
graduate students who have completed
one year of work at Bryn Mawr College,
and the Mary E. Garrett European Fel-

The favorite musical comedy theme of
Cinderella proved a happy choice for
1921 Friday night. Plentiful patriotism
exhibited by Red Cross nurses, allied
nations, and “sons of America” dom-
inated the few college hits, and cul-
minated in the semophore call to farms.

WORK ON FARM IN TWO WEEKS
Room for Twenty More During Summer

Afternoon work on the Bryn Mawr
farm will begin in about two weeks, and
will continue, for students in Bryn Mawr,
throughout the Easter vacation. Students
who work as much as 48 hours during
the spring, may count this time as one
week of regular work and draw wages
as soon as they have spent one week
(instead of two) on the farm in the
summer.

Sixty students have registered for
the summer for periods of a month or
longer.

FRESHMEN CLEARED $250 FOR
THE SERVICE CORPS FRIDAY

Expenses Less Than For Either 1918’s
or 1919’s Freshman Shows

The Freshman entertainment netted
the Service Corps $250 last Friday. Ex-
penses were well under $100, less than for
either 1918’s or 1919’s Freshman shows,
which cost $243 and $367, respectively.
Gate receipts were clear gain, for costs
were met by class dues.

Costume expenses were $35 at most,
mainly for the flowers and Egyptian |
choruses, and for the scarlet moth. The |
Bolshevik and soldiers’ and sailors’ cos-
tumes cost nothing.

STUNT PARTY ADDS LOCAL
COLOR TO BATES
WEEK-END

Stunts, giving a vivid portrayal of
summer life at Bates House, followed a'|
talk by Miss Virginia Deems on the prac-
tical side of the work there, at the annual
Bates Party in the gym last Saturday |
night. There was dancing to the music |
of the new Freshman Orchestra. $11
were raised by the sale of refreshments.

Miss Deems, who for two years was
the head of Bates, may direct it again
this summer. She told of many adven-
tures of the college workers at Long
Branch, especially during one fortnight
two years ago when 48 children were)
there, without their mothers; at that)
time, she said, the college girls could |
work out all their pet theories, and as a)
result one girl in one afternoon scrubbed |
sixteen children.

In the first of the two stunts the |
elopement of Butty the Butterick Beaut|
(H. Butterfield '18) with the faithful
Claude (M. Foot '21) was enacted. ‘The|
prelude to the match furnished an op-|
portunity for the singing of “The Heart |
of the City That Has No Heart” by a)
typical Bates group of factory girls. H.|
coached the stunt.

The second stunt depicted five minutes
of the 16-hour day during children’s

MASS MEETING TO ELECT NEXT
YEAR'S WAR COUNCIL CHAIRMAN
Plans for Reorganization Will be Pre-
sented Next Week
The War Council chairman for next
year will be nominated and elected at
mass meetings next. week if the recom-
mendations of the War Council for re-
organization are accepted. By this scheme
the War Council election would precede
the Association elections to avoid the du-
plication of office that took place this

year.

According to the tentative plan, the five
nominees receiving the highest number of
votes would be candidates, their names
would be posted and the election would
take place not less than three days later.
The chairman would assume office at the
first War Council meeting after the elec-
tion. “
Three plans for the reorganization of

'the War Council will be presented to the

mass meeting. (1) That the organization
remain the same. (2) That the present
organization have the addition of a rep-
resentative elected from each class, and
have its chairman elected by a mass meet-
ing. (3) That student representation in

| the organization consist of two members

elected from each class and a chairman
elected by a mass meeting.
A. Hawkins '07 has been appointed head

'of the Food Production Department in

place of B. Ehlers 09, who has resigned.
A head gardener for the farm has been
engaged and will begin work on Monday,
Miss Ehlers reported at the War Council
meeting last Tuesday.

this week’s issue of the News, —



THE SPRING DRIVE

In the fifteen short months between
March,- 1917, and June, 1918, the United
States must raise twenty-two billion dol-
lars,

It seems like a large sum when one
realizes that in the one hundred and forty-
one years between 1776 and 1917 the coun-
try had raised only twenty-five billion dol-
lars, out of which were paid all the
expenses of peace and war, including

municipal, state and federal expenditures,

whether for salaries, public education, na-
tional defense or general improvements.

With the realization of these figures
comes a fuller realization of what this
war must cost every American. There is
a hard pull ahead. All Americans must
help raise this money, and to do it must
leave unnecessary expenses unincurred,
unnecessary clothes unbought. It is up
to the educated American woman to make
old clothes, supplemented by Liberty
Bonds and Thrift Stamps, the fashion. ©

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The editors do not hold themselves respon-
sible for opinions expressed in this column.

Dear Editor:

Recently I heard that the Seniors, in
an effort to be economical, have given up
the idea of having a Class Record. I
should like to congratulate the class on
their spirit of unselfishness and to sug-
gest a possible substitute for the usual
expensive Record that might recommend
itself to classes even after the war.

Couldn’t the last edition of “Tipyn
O’Bob” this semester be made entirely a
Senior issue and be sold for a little more
than the ordinary copies in order to pay
for the extra expense? Could it not con-
tain pictures of the faculty and of the
Seniors, as well as Senior records?

This plan has been satisfactorily
adopted by the West Philadelphia High
School for Girls, where an attractive com-
mencement issue is sold for twenty-five
cents a copy.

If the Seniors are interested, they could
probably get a sample copy from a gradu-
ate of the West Philadelphia High School,
or I will send them one with pleasure.

Sincerely yours,
JOSEPHINE KATZENSTEIN.
March 9, 1918.



DOLLAR VARSITY LOAN TO
FINANCE “ADMIRABLE
CRICHTON”

A varsity loan floated in shares of one
dollar to finance “The Admirable Crich-
ton” was advocated at a meeting of the
Undergraduate Association board on Mon-
day. Refunds would be made from the
gate receipts after the performances on
April 19 and 20. Plans will be submitted
to the Association at noon today.

The treasury keeps only enough money
on hand for current expenses, so that first
expenses for the royalty have had to be
lent by individuals.

More rigid election rules to prevent
stuffing the ballot are being drawn up
for the Association by a committee of
three, J. Peabody "19, G. Woodbury ‘19
and H. Wortman ‘20.

| thinking of registering all women, and





. though there

truth is, there are many useless and
frivolous women here, not really work-
ing, and eating up the food. I understand

regulating things far more strictly, pos
sibly with medical requirements. Dr.
Blake thinks that all women ‘who come
should be at least 28, and should be
passed before coming not by the family
doctor but by an Impersonal doctor with
careful study of past history; and that
those whose energy and vitality get ex-
hausted should be subject to medical
control and sent home to make room for
others.

There is no question that the A.R.C.
and the Y.M.C.A. are going to need,
women in greatly increasing numbers,
and their standard is steadily rising.
Women of college training would be most
welcome to certain canteen heads. . .
Kind of Women Needed

Canteen work is going to grow enor-
mously and is, I think, very valuable and
interesting work. There are canteens
for French soldiers and the A. R. C. is
also starting many for American soldiers.
Requirements there are, age, 25—40,
preferably nearer 25; husky health—used
to “roughing it,” to standing on your
feet; adaptability, willingness to be
bossed, circumspection, good disposi-
tion, should speak French a little, know
how to put on bandages (First Aid
Course) ; social gifts also weleome if not
absolutely insisted on (I think they are).
The able people here soon rise to the
top, or should, gnd will be put in charge
of new canteens as they are opened.
There is no cooking required—8s hour
shifts—night work. Strict rules for
social life (i. e., about dining with offi-
cers, etc.).

Enormous demand for first rate bureau
workers. Stenographers and typewriters
are snapped up on every side, and good
executive secretaries are more precious
than rubies.. Any bureau of the A. R..C.
(I speak at random but I know at least
three) would absorb as many as available
—i e., women with knowledge of filing,
library education, record keeping, etc.,
as well as stenography and typewriting
and general trained intelligence.

The Refugee and Child Welfare Tu-
berculosis Departments are using social
service workers and of course nurses and
doctors. No doubt graduates of Miss
Kingsbury’s would be welcome. The Child
Welfare Tuberculosis and Housing cam-
paign will probably be extended greatly
very soon, and more workers demanded.
Very interesting for social workers and
sociologists.

Chauffeuses are always needed.

Dietitians will be needed.

Nurses’ auxiliaries should register.
There aren’t enough nurses here for

EXTRA HOUSE RENTED | BY CENTER



Take Over Old Red Cross Building
The old Red Cross headquarters on the



Lancaster pike have been rented by the
Community. Center and is to be used as,
a meeting place for the Girl Scouts and |
the women’s and girls’ clubs. Miss|
Smith will have an office in the building.
The library is to be moved there and a
librarian will be in charge every after-
noon.

Volunteers are asked for next Friday |
and Saturday to help arrange the new.
rooms, and anyone having chairs, rugs, |
pictures, etc., to give, are asked to com-
municate with Miss Smith.

One of the primary rooms in the school
building has been given to the Center
for the use of the kindergarten and the
night school.

ability to run a car, resourcefulness,
energy, tact, practically necessary, and
medical or nurse’s training, carpentry,

etc., all to the good. I understand Miss
Anne Morgan wants college graduates |

-| for her most successful work at Bléran-
court. She has done more than anyone

in actual rebuilding and has co-operated |
with the French and got general respect.

The Smith Unit has been most success-
ful also; is now coming under the A, R.
C. like everything else. The Friends
have done splendid work. Living con-
ditions, etc., are very Spartan with them.
Send only the strongest, and nobody with
a tendency to flirtation, as they are sus-
picious of women.

Women Must be “Thoroughbreds”

The Y. M. C. A. wants “women of re-
source and magnetism.” “Popular leader
quality.” There are, or they say so,
many second rate men; that is all the
more important for women to be “thor-
oughbreds.”. They will be put in situa-
tions where no conventional laws hold
and must know how to control them. The
fairly young—25-30—will probably be
most successful with the privates and
the more attractive and good looking the
better; the more social experience the
better, provided they are serious and
steady. None of those with husbands
in the army are acceptable. Married
welcome otherwise, There are no two
opinions in the rank and file of the
army as to the enormous good these
women can do. The young officers and
privates will tell you that the whole tone
of a camp is changed by their presence
(this is also true of A. R. C. canteens),
and the “huts” are popular just in pro-
portion as women are there. They need
a lot at , where there will be a
very large number of men (privates) on
leave every week—girls who can walk
and dance and help “entertain” and
amuse,

In the Y. M. C, A, the capable and ex-
ceptional person will undoubtedly rise to
the top. It is less certain in the A. R.
C., and some heart burning might re-
sult for canteen workers. Knowledge of
French (conversation) essential for A.
R. C. workers; liking for the average
American essential for the Y. M. C. A.
field workers,

Elizabeth White is now working for
the Y. M. C. A. (answering soldiers’ let-
ters, and buying what they ask for, from
violin strings to pajamas). Variety is
not lacking in jobs; but practically all
relief and reconstruction will be under
A. R. C., and the Y. M. C, A. is the other
big opportunity.



Kindest regards and my warmest
thanks again.

Elizabeth Shepley Becmaea.

INSURANCE FIRM MAKES $18



Daily Recitations Provided Against

The Campus Insurance Company,
which sold various ingenious policies
against the uncertainties of grades at
midyears, has paid off its obligation and
has a profit balance of, $18. The firm
expects shortly to open a new branch
and insure its customers against being
called on in daily recitation courses.

Of twenty students who insured for
“Passed” in courses at midyears, only
three failed, getting $1.10 apiece. The
next most profitable investment was
insurance for “Merit”, twenty-seven
students, out of the seventy-six who
insured, getting 45 cents apiece. Twelve
out of twenty-nine insuring for “High
Credit” got 40 cents each, and twenty-
six, out of fifty-six insuring for “Credit”
got 35 cents.

The firm also insures against the
measles. Of eighteen thus insured, two
have succumbed.

WAR VERSUS FOREIGN MISSIONS



Mr. Speer Urges Timeliness of Gospel

The influence of the war upon mission
work was described in Chapel last Sun-
day evening by Mr. Robert E. Speer of
the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mis-
sions.

“To. come to the deeper aspects of the
war in its relation to missions, mission
work is today standing out as never
before as a great constructive and pre-
serving undertaking.”

“Four great mission fields”,-said Mr.
Speer, “are geographically in the area of
war,—Shantung, Africa, Persia, and the
Turkish Empire. In these the mission
work has been practically uninter-
rupted.”

‘| night to the tune of 8-6. At the end of
the first half the score was even and the
game resolved itself into a duel between

but the Sophomore defense melted away

before the steady attack of the famous

Senior captain.

The game opened with two Senior goals,
followed by three for the Sophomores.
1918’s defense was strong, backing up T.
Howell and compensating for a weak for-
ward line, M. Strauss ’18, at fullback, tied
the score.

At the beginning of the second half P.
Helmer added another point to ’20’s credit
and M. M. Carey followed with a spectacu-
lar goal shot from more than three-quar-
ters way down the pool. It was then that
T. Howell, whose shooting had not been
up to par, came into her own and forced
1920 to play a consistently defensive game
till the end of the period.

SCARLET MOTH APPEARS AS FRESH-
MEN’S FAIRY GODMOTHER
_ (Continued from page 1)

The proud sisters were turned to
account as the even classes in dark and
light blue. The maltreated but trium-
phant heroine was 1921, and the prince
1919. The fairy godmother fluttered on
the stage in Act IIT as the class animal,
a delicate scarlet moth. It was only by
intervention of a fairy godmother that
the Freshman Cinderella could surmount
Bryn Mawr tradition and go to the
Garden Party where she met her prince
in khaki,

The bombing squad of Bolsheviki, true
to type, cheered on their leader, Gen-
eral Ostroff of Odessa, only to knife
him after his final flourish. A frenzy
of applause from the audience recalled
him to life. Miss Ostroff is a native of
Russia, born in the Ukraine near Odessa.
Her spirited execution of the Kazatchka,
a Russian peasant dance, was far above
the level of usual Bryn Mawr stage
dancing.

Most diverting of the other more con-
ventional choruses was the pajama
girls. The aviation chorus, effective as
its original in “Going Up,” cannot be
blamed for carrying off the charming
Cinderella. Miss Southall supplemented
a good voice with graceful acting and
dancing. Of the two sisters, Miss Foot,
as the self-important senior, was the
better actress. Miss Farnsworth was
obliged to take the part of 1920 at very
short notice.

Confusion of color and idea marred the
Garden Party in Act III, which was not
redeemed by the loveliness of the flowers
in the opening scene. The Egyptian
chorus was dragged in with the un-
fortunate effect of clashing with the
subsequent war scene as badly as
did Cinderella’s cerise dress with the
scarlet wings of the moth. The mute
hero prolonged into a burlesque his kiss
for Cinderella.

1921’s orchestra from “Sunny Italee,”
complete with a lively monkey, was first
brought in by an usher in response to a
frantic appeal from before the curtain,
recalling Parade Night with its cry of
“The band has not come. Everything is
going wrong!”’

E. Taylor's appointment as business
manager of the varsity play is a tribute
to her success with this production.



Mise wiain ‘Speake at Areas

evening with the atory of the Spring
Street Church and Settlement, ‘from
which parties are sent down in the
summer to Bates House, told at Vespers
by Miss Anne Wiggin, head worker at
the settlement.

Miss. Wiggin told how eighteen years
ago Roswell Bates, then but a few years
out of the. seminary, had accepted the
call to Spring Street after its own pastor
had given it up as hopeless. Mr. Bates
literally wore himself out in making it
the vigorous and self-supporting church
that it now is.

“Before Mr. Bates’ denis ” said Miss
Wiggin, “he spoke to the students of
many colleges about his work, but no-
where did he meet with as heartfelt and
sympathetic a response as at Bryn
Mawr.”

Miss Wiggin declared that the most
important task that the women of Amer-
ica have before them is to raise the
ideals of the nation so high that when
the men return they will not be drawn
into the same rut that existed before the
war. “This task’, she added, “you are
helping accomplish by your work at
Bates House during the summer.”

Summer Workers Needed at Spring
Street .

According to Miss Wiggin there is a
scarcity of workers at Spring Street.
She would be very glad to see any stu-
dents interested in doing settlement work
who are going to be in New York this
summer. F. Clarke ’19 would be glad to
communicate with Miss Wiggin for appli-
cants.

FELLOWSHIP DINNER PROGRESSES
Senior Fellowship dinner, first given
in Pembroke, moved several years ago
to Rockefeller, and this year progresses
to Radnor. The reason for the present
change is that there are so many more
people living in Rockefeller than there
are seniors that the cost of the extra
exchanges would be very high.

Canvass for Pledges Begun This Week

The canvass to raise the money neces-
sary to run Bates House, over and above
the thousand dollars on the C. A. Budget,
has already begun. $500 must be raised
in order to carry on the work.

A Bryn Mawr worker is needed next
summer to look after the New York end
of Bates House, that is to arrange and
get under way the parties sent down
from Spring Street to Long Branch.

Bates House, which will have its sev-
enth season this summer, is entirely sup-
ported by Bryn Mawr and run by Bryn
Mawr volunteer workers. It is open
from the middle of June to the first
week in September.

extended to branches in all Y. M. ©. A.

smaller forts, posts, and on naval vessels.

Several hundred thousand books have
already been given and more than

There are many expensive technical
books needed which will not be supplied
by gift. In order that the fund may be
used for these purchases, and for admin-
istering and extending the service, the
public is now asked to make large gifts
of popular books.

All sorts of books are in demand at
the libraries. Non-fiction is called for
as much as fiction. The libraries need
books of reference; books on the war;
books on the trades, technical and pro;
fessional subjects; recent textbooks in
mathematics, civil, mechanical and elec-
tric engineering; books of new .and
standard poetry, biography, history and
travel.

There is a pamphlet on the table in
the New Book Room which tells about
the libraries.
