‘DEAN TAFT SPEAKS AGAINST MAY DAY

“Personally, I do not feel like giving
May Day”, Dean Taft said in Chapel
last Thursday. Not only would the
energies of the college be going into
unproductive labor, Miss Taft pointed
out, but into unnecessary labor, for “a
nation at war must learn to give its
money without expecting to be enter-
tain







SOMETHING WRONG SOMEWHERE



“A pacifist has something physically,

wrong”, said Mr. Walcott, in answer to a
question from one of the audience after
his lecture last Saturday. “Hither the
brain or the spinal column is lacking”.

COLLEGE REFUSES TO ABANDON
MUSIC BECAUSE OF WAR YEAR

Admission to be Charged at Door

Music will be brought to the college as
usual this year through a series of con-
certs, the expenses of which are to be de-
frayed, as last year, by charging admis-
sion at the door.

It was the wish of the Music Committee
of the Undergraduate Association, ex-
pressed at a recent Undergraduate meet-
ing, that this method of meeting expenses
should be abandoned in favor of the
pledge system, used successfully in 1915-
"16. Concerts given last year, R. Hart
18, Chairman of’ the Music Committee,
pointed out, often barel ared ex-
penses. The Association, however, was
unwilling that the college should be can-
vassed for pledges and evidently pre-
ferred to risk signing contracts in ad-
vance of receipts. Many students voted
against both methods, wishing to defeat
them on war grounds.

Kitty Cheatham will probably give a
Christmas concert here in December and
Reinhold Warlich, who sang here lest
year, is expected sometime in November.

“WRITING THE ORALS—
HA! HA! HA!”
Seniors Sing And Cheer Before One
Hi + Test. Committee of Three
ill Busy Correcting Papers

Ten minutes of untrammeled oral sing-
ing greeted the Senior French examiners
last Saturday morning in Taylor before
the examination. Sixty-one Seniors took
the examination, which lasted an hour.

To the tune of “Brighten the Corner
Where You Are”, the revival hymn made
famous by “Billy” Sunday, 1918 set the
first “written oral” song,’ “Writing the
Orals, Ha, Ha, Ha”! which they gave for
the first time Friday night in Pembroke
at the oral singing.

The same committee of three, Dean
Maddison, Miss Donnelly, and Monsieur
Beck, which made out the French exami-
nation, is correcting the books. On dc-
count of the time it will take for all three
to go over each book, the Seniors will not
hear from their French before they take

College War Relief in “Quarterly”

A statement of the plans of the under-
graduate War Relief Committee for the
year, including extracts-from letters writ-
ten by Mrs. Dike, chairman of the recon-
struction work of the American Fund for
French Wounded, will appear in the next
Alumnz Quarterly.







“Meat, wheat, and sweet are what our
Allies must have to fight down the Prus-
sian system”, said Mr. Frederic Walcott,
investigator of Belgium, Serbia, and Po-
land for the Rockefeller Institute, who
spoke on the Prussian system and food

administration at the War Relief week
end last Saturday in Taylor. “The U-
boats began to starve Belgium in August
and she is starving still. Tuberculosis is
running over the country like a prairie
fire. Poland is starved. Roumania is
starved, and unless she is fed there is
grave danger that she will make a sepa-
rate peace, letting the Germans into
Odessa, the Black Sea, and the wheat
fields of Russia.

“We expect Belgium to starve”, said
General von Bissing, late Governor Gen-
eral of Belgium, in reply to Mr. Walcott’s
inquiry. “Then we can force the Bel-
gians into Germany to release fighting
men. Some we will send to Mesopotamia,
the weak and young we will push in front
of a firing squad into the enemy’s hands
for France and Britain to care for, At
the end of the war Belgium will be a
German province. and Antwerp ours”.
“This was a sincere. statement from
General von Bissing”’, said Mr. Walcott.
“Denationalization is only an incident if
it helps Germany.

“The grave-yard of a nation”, Mr.
Walcott called the old Napoleonic road
by which he travelled into Poland. The
Germans had asked him to investigate
Poland, fearing that the starvation there
would demoralize the German troops.
Along this road had passed the Polish
refugees, fleeing after the retreating
Russians in 1915. “I could not count the
wicker baby baskets such as hang in the
peasants’ cottages, there were so many
lying beside the road”, said Mr. Walcott.

“Typhus was in every single camp I
visited”, he said. “The refugees were
crowded by tens of thousands into bar-
racks that were hardly weather proof in
the bitter climate. They were emaciated,
indescribably filthy, and had the hunger
stare by which we have learned to know
the starving.”

“By starvation”, said Mr. Walcott, “the
Germans hope to accomplish what they
have tried for years to do in Poland.
There they can run the gamut of cruelty.
Belgium is too near Holland and the
West for such treatment.”

“What is good for Germany is good for
the world”, say the Prussians, according
to Mr. Walcott. The fates of Belgium,

Poland, Roumania, and Serbia are exam- |

ples of what is good for Germany.



Mr. Walcott, who is on the Food Ad-|

ministration Board, and lives with Mr.
Hoover in Washington, took the audience
into his confidence, telling them of the
official outlook on the war. He requested
that his confidential information be not
printed. .

EXPELLED PROFESSOR SCORES
COLUMBIA; THREATENS TO SUE

Sympathy With Dr. Cattell Causes
Resignation of Charles.
H. Beard

The Faculty and students of Columbia
University have been in an uproar -for
the past two weeks as a result of the ex-
pulsion of Professor J, McKeen Cattell
from the Chair of Psychology on the
charge of “disseminating disloyal doc-
trines on the-war’. Charles A. Beard,
Professor of Political Science at the Uni-
versity and author of American Govern-
ment and Politics used in the politics
course at Bryn Mawr, has resigned from
the staff because of his disapproval of

what he believes to be the repression of |

free speech among the Faculty.
Professor Cattell, in a letter slurring
President Butler and the trustees, wrote
in part: “Whatever may be the opinion
held of me in this period of prejudice and

soon emerge, my ‘services to fhe univer-
sity are a matter on record .. . I
made the department of psychology the
strongest in the world and as head of the
departments of philosophy and anthro-
pology made them the strongest in
America It would not only be
common decency, but also common sense,
for the trustees to pay the pension due to
me . . . Otherwise, there will even-
tually be unrest among the members of
the Faculty; a lawsuit will bring out
facts concerning the president, the trus-
tees, and the university which will not
be of service to them”.

The need is felt at Columbia of bring-
ing about a closer co-operation between
Faculty and trustees and so removing the
objection that the latter are checking free
discussion at the university.



PUBLIC OPINION PUTS BAN ON FLOWERS



The sending of flowers this year for
“orals” or plays has been discouraged at
Bryn Mawr both at the Christian Asso-
ciation meeting last Friday and at differ-
ent class meetings. No votes have been
taken, however, as public opinion is
counted on to regulate the matter.

DAY GIVEN UP FOR MORE DIRECT V WAR WORK



| audience, are tired of it.

‘Excitement reached a fever pitch last
Thursday night when the fate of May
Day hung in the balance while the tellers
counted a secret ballot cast by the Under-
graduate Association on the motion that
| the festival be given this year for war

relief. The announcement that the
project had been voted down 251 to 56—
a defeat of almost five to one—came as a
complete surprise, since dyring the meet-
ing, which lasted nearly two hours, both
sides were warmly upheld. Early in the
meeting Miss Nearing ’09, a former Pres-
ident of Undergraduate Association, was
introduced to speak from the point of
view of “one who had experienced several
May Days”, and gave her arguments
against having the féte under present
conditions. V. Kneeland ‘18, President,
asked that “patriotism” be left out of the
discussion, since patriotic service was the
common end of the whole Associatiort,
the difference of opinion being merely as
to the best means toward that end.

May Day Incompatible with Gritted

Teeth

“Do we want to give May Day: at all,
and if so, do we want to give it under the
present conditions’? was Miss Nearing's
formulation of the issue. She said in
part:

“Many people believe that May Day
should be given up entirely, that Phila-
delphia people, who make up most of the
It is true that

| when Bryn Mawr began having May Day
|it was a unique sort of performance,



whereas now something on the same or-
der may be seen at almost any college in
the country. Still, I believe May Day is

.one of the big things in college and that

no maiter how much people hate it be-

| fore, while they are working for it, every-
unreason, from which I trust we shall

one loves it on the day. It has a peculiar
flavor and a thrill all its own.

“Granting, then, that May Day is fine
in itself, ought it to be given under the
present conditions? The first reason
against it has been called a sentimental
one. May Day will come just at the be-
ginning of the big spring drives, wher
every mail and cable will bring lists of
killed and wounded. Those of you who
have read books describing the first
months of the war in England can im-
agine what the reaction will be. I can’t
remember whether you are old enough
to remember when the Titanic went
down , but if you do, you know
that the reaction after such a tragedy is
horrible. I can’t imagine a May Day
given by people with gritted teeth. Even
if it were given, the audience might be
cut down one-third. . .

“Another reason which may or may not
have weight with you is that practically
all of the Faculty and Staff are against
it. es ’
“The cost of the last May Day was
$6000. This year it will probably be
$10,000.

“It seems too bad to put so much effort
on something that is non-productive. I
must have spent about ninety hours in
rehearsal for May Day my Freshman
year, although I had only a small part—
that of the lion in Pyramus and Thisbe.
Innumerable hours, too, must be spent
making costumes, with nothing to show

After the last guest had staggered out
the door, the hostess looked upon the
wreckage. A moment only, then the girl
next door, who had come early to tea and
got up another appetite in the meanwhile,
‘eame back. One swift glance, and the
feeble remnant of the once sumptuous
feast had vanished forever.

‘The next morning the hostess and her
friend lingered at breakfast over “their
morning papers. “I ate too much yester-
day”, confessed one. “I never want to



touch another sandwich”. “Nor I”, re-
plied the hostess, watching the crusts of
her roll being carried away. “But it was
such a marvellous tea”, said the first,
and without relaxing her reminiscent
smile she plunged into an account of the
latest measures of the Food Adminis-

trator.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The editors do not hold re-
sponsible for opinions expressed in this



To the Editor of The College News:

I have been interested in the discus-
sion of the giving of May Day, and it has
brought to mind the early days of the
war in England, when the inelegant slo-
gan, “Business as usual’, expressed
much heroism above the realm of trade.
The way in which English men and
women carried on the difficult living of
usual days in unusual times, is the most
inspiring memory, brought home by one
American. In one household there, then,
and later, when one son was invalided,
one killed in France, and the third at
Gallipoli, the sparkling tea-tray is brought
in at five, the usual vacations are taken,
and in those familiar ways, there ap-
peared to be some steadying comfort.
Harry Lauder, not long after his son
had fallen, went back on to the stage, and
sang in his heartening rollicksome voice,
“The boys will come marching home”.
If some of the actresses at May Day
should have heavy hearts, they will not
be the first, who, in spite of them, have
danced and smiled.

May Day remains one of the most ex-
quisite memories of one’s college life.
It is more than an aggregation of cos-
tumes, arrangements, tickets’ and pro-
ceeds. It is of value, as anything beau-
tiful is. In this year of horrors, such
things should be guarded and given, with
spscial care, because men and women
and even children should be made to for-
get for a few hours the burden of the war,
and freshen their spirits with the sight
of a spring festival. If there was any-
thing’ really bacchanalian or unbridled
about it, I could see the inadvisability of
it for this year, but Bacchus himself, in
my time, acted with such artistic feeling
that those who should know found only
edification in his maudlin revel (he was
president of the Christian Association in
natural life).

If perchance the May Queen should
have a brother missing, she would know
that he could be prouder of her smiling
on that day than he would of many
weeds. Mourning is a right which has
been in many cases given up for unsel-
fish reasons. It knows no times nor sea-

HARVARD MINOR SPORTS HIT



Only Rookies in Eli Freshmen Football!
Minor sports at Harvard have suffered

| even more from the war than the major

branches, according to the New York
Times. Golf, wrestling, swimming, la-
crosse, and gymnastic teams, all features
of fall athletics in past years, have not
been formed. An effort is being made to
get the soccer players together, but the
fencing team is the only one in the minor
class yet organized.

At New Haven, class teams have been
formed for a series of interclass football
games. Only men enrolled in military or
naval training will be allowed to repre-
sent Yale in the Freshman games against
Harvard and Princeton.

BRILLIANT ATHLETIC RECORDS
BEHIND NEW BOARD MEMBERS



Leah Feder, Mt. Holyoke '17, Chairman

An athletic board pro tem., composed
of five former college athietes, has been
slected by the graduate students to or-
janize graduate athletics and to consult
with the board of the Athletic Associa-
‘ion, in accordance with a motion car-
‘ied at the last meeting of the Associa-
tion. The constitution of the Graduate
Slub, which provides only for an athletic
nanager having no connection with the
\thletic Association, must be changed
»Xefore permanent elections can be made.

Miss Leah Feder, chairman of the
Xoard, speaking of plans for the autumn,
‘aid to a News reporter: “The graduates
‘ave entered into athletics with very
sood spirits. There is hockey every day
ut twelve, while those who can’t come at
100n practice with the lower teams of the
‘undergraduates. Later, we hope to have
‘he gymnasium one evening a week for.
basket-ball, dancing, and a general good
time”.

A graduate tennis tournament has been
started with thirteen entries and there
will be an opportunity for those who have
not been authorized to take swimming
‘essons.

Each of the five members of the board
has a long athletic record. Miss Feder,
the chairman, Mt. Holyoke 1917, made
class hockey and track and was substi-
tute on her class basket-ball team.

Miss Geneva Drinkwater, University of
Missouri 1917, was on her varsity hockey,
basket-ball, baseball, and hiking teams,
and a winner of the “M” sweater, to wear
which 100 points must be gained in ath-
letics, 10 points being given whenever a
varsity team is made. Miss Grace Hawk,
Brown University 1917, made varsity
basket-ball, was class bowling captain
her Senior year, and made second team
in class tennis. Miss Drusilla Flather,
also of Brown 1917, was varsity bowling
captain, and made her class team in
hasket-ball. Miss Helen Ross, Class of
1911, University of Missouri, made var-
sity serub in basket-ball.

THE POWER OF SUGGESTION



A new minor sport for Bryn Mawr has
been suggested by the Freshman, who,
when asked her opinion of the gymna-
‘ium, naively remarked. “Oh, the part I
like best is the bicycle track”!

New Plans For Community Center

ADDITIONAL CLASSES THOUGHT OF

Will Teach Food Conservation

Work at the Community Center will
be divided this year so that all classes
for children under 16 come in the after-
noon, the evenings to be devoted entirely
to adult activities. Sn

Economy in buying and cooking will
be taught in a class on food conservation
to be given for mothers at the Commu-
nity Center this year. Stoves left over
from last summer’s canning will be used.

Vegetables to the amount of 8000 cans
were put up at the Community Center
during the summer by the Main Line
Canning Committee.

Textile weaving for older people and
handicraft work for children will be
taught as well as the usual classes in
stenography, folk-dancing, cooking and
sewing given last year. The kindergar-
ten has begun, and school lunches of soup
and rolls at a cost of 3 cents apiece, start
next week.

Several new books have been donated

_ to the library this summer.and the Cata-
loguing Committee under Miss Reed,
head librarian of the college, is already
at work.

ALUMNA NOTES



Katherine Page Loring '13 has a daugh-
ter, Alice Page Loring, born September,
1917. Mrs. Loring, who was Senior Class
President, is a daughter of Mr. Walter
Hines Page, Ambassador to England.

Irma Bixler Poste "10 has a daughter,
Eleanor Gerwig Poste, born August 4th.

Alice Patterson ’13 is head of the Latin
department at the Agnes Irwin School
this year.

Hazel Barnett ’15 is teaching history in
Miss Holiey’s School, Dallas, Texas.

Cynthia Wesson ‘09 is working in
France in connection with the Y. M. C. A.
army huts. Last year Miss Wesson drove
a motor for the American Fund for
French wounded.

Mrs. Sanger Brown, Hilda W. Brown
°06, is living in Washington this winter.
Her husband is stationed at the office of
- the Surgeon General. Captain and Mrs.
Brown were stationed at Gettysburg this
summer, where Mrs. Brown gave lectures
on Social Hygiene in the neighbouring
cities under the Committee om Camp Ac
tivities appointed by the Secretary of
‘War.



Seaton a Be

a tight-rope”, said Dr. Jonathan C. Day,
of the Labor Temple, New York, speak-
ing in Chapel Sunday night. The aim of
the Labor Temple in allowing the white-
goods strikers and others to meet in the
church and helping them in.their fight
for better wages, better conditions, and
better hours is to be prodigal of service
and not regardful of return in serving the
community.

Mr. Day, when he took over the church,
found 600,000 people in the vicinity, only
20,000 of whom were Americans. “The
average attendance at midweek prayer-
meetings was a baker’s dozen of men en-
tirely surrounded by women”. To-day
there are 1600 in the Sunday-school and
the work of Americanization has taken
on tremendous proportions.

Souls Saved at $1.50 a Head

“Rating pie in the sky when we die”,
is the radicalist’s version of what the
church offers. The conciliation of the
conservative and radical elements is the
most difficult problem the Labor Temple
is confronted with. Reproached by a
staid Presbyterian elder for allowing 550
I. W. W.’s to sleep in the church, Mr. Day
reported himself as saying: “This church
was built in 1850 and has been slept in
ever since, so why not continue’?

Arrested in some guerilla warfare go-
ing on between strikers and _ strike-
breakers Mr. Day was locked up with
“more good-natured drunks than you ever
saw before” and jumping into his car, the
subway, went up to the night court to be
tried. Unconvehtional ways must be
used, said Mr: Day, to keep in touch with
unconventional people.

WELLESLEY CLUB WILL REPEAT
TREE DAY PAGEANT FOR WAR



“A Vision of Wellesley”, a repetition
of the allegorical pageant given by
Wellesley College in 1916 on its annual
Tree Day, will be presented by the
Wellesley Club of Philadelphia next Sat-
urday afternoon at three at Redleaf,
Wynnewood, Pa.

The proceeds, advertised as going to
the “women of Europe”, will be distrib-
uted by the Emergency Aid and the Col-
lege Women’s Auxiliary of the Red Cross.

paper flowers. Each girl, out of the total
proceeds, earned about $6, or six cents
an hour.

“All this is put into an outdoor per-
formance which amounts to a gamble.
Last time the proceeds fell to $4000 from
a possible $7000, on account of rain. That
was a pretty expensive shower at $3000”.

Possible Substitutes Suggested

Various substitutes for May Day, such
as Varsity dramatics, were enthusiastic-
ally attacked and defended. C. Dodge "18
cited figures from 1918’s Junior-Senior
Supper Play to prove that no play given
in the gymnasium could even approxi-
mate May Day as a financial success. M.
Rupert "18 argued that May Day would
only serve to make Bryn Mawr the chan-
nel for war relief gifts which would prob-
ably be given anyway. L. Hodges 18
suggested that interest in surgical dress-
ings and other purely voluntary activities
might flag with the advance of the sem-
ester, whereas if May Day were at-
tempted a definite goal would be set to
call forth everyone's best efforts.

NEWS IN BRIEF



Dr. Joseph Clark Hoppin, a former
Bryn Mawr professor, is taking Dr. Rhys
Carpenter’s: work in Classical Archsol-
ogy this year. Dr. Hoppin was at Bryn

Mawr from 1899 to 1904, and has re-|

cently been doing research work. He has
given up a plan of going to France this
year to come to Bryn Mawr, regarding
his post here as “part of his war work”.

Miss Florence Peebles has been ap-
pointed.-Associate Professor of Physiol-
ogy. Miss Peebles received her A.B.
from the Woman’s College of Baltimore
in 1895, and her Ph.D. from Bryn Mawr
in 1900. As holder of the Mary E. Gar-
rett Buropean Fellowship she was Scholar
of the Woman’s Tablp in the Zoological
Station, Naples, 1898-99.

Ruth Driver Rock ex-’19, has a daugh-
ter, born last Saturday.

L. Kellogg and H. Wortman have been
elected song-mistresses for 1920. The
class also elected a committee to write
its songs — M. Ballou, M Littell, N.
Offutt, B. Weaver, D. Rogers, and E.
Brace.

A. Thorndike has been elected 1919's
song-mistress.

Miss R. Hibbard and Miss Inez Neterer,
graduate students, are working at the
Community Center this year. Miss Hib-
bard is assistant to the director, H.
Sniith "10, and Miss Neterer is to organ-
ize the children’s clubs. :

New printed cut-cards have been de-
signed by this year’s undergraduate ex-
ecutives for each student as an aid to
greater accuracy in the cut registration,
and are being given out as fast as they
are made.

On account of its greater size, Denbigh
sitting-rooni rather than Pembroke West
will be the meeting-place this year of the
Junior Class., Pembroke West, however,
will be the scene of the class elections
to-day.

E, McDonald "39 is the new head proc-
tor of Radnor in place of E. Marquand,
who has moved to Ldysyfran.



the college be canvassed before, instead
of after, the items on the budget are de-
cided upon. There is a possibility also

that the proceeds of the canvass, which

will be made in about two weeks, will be
divided simply into three parts: War
Relief, Foreign Missions, and Home Mis-
sions. Formerly each item has been sep-
arately listed. ;

M. Tyler '19, reporting for the Maids’
Committee, urged the need of additional
teachers for the maids’ Sunday-school,
which begins directly after Thanksgiving.
It is hoped, said Miss Tyler, that the
maids’ Red Cross work-shop opened at
the Community Center last year will go
on as usual.

A final report from E. Houghton 18, on
the work of the Belgian Relief Commit-
tee last spring, showed a total of $3234.77
sent in three months by the undergradu-
ates and the alumnzw.to Mr. Hoover.



The cabinet will meet monthly on
Wednesday night at 7.30, the meetings
to be open to all.

The Dansant Introduces War Work.
Old Newspapers Will Make Trench
Candles. Work Room is Open Nightly

Nearly 200 people, including a number
of schoolgirls from Miss Wright’s, danced
to the music of 1920’s orchestra at the
War Relief week-end thé dansant in the
gymnasium last Saturday afternoon.
Sub-committee members, who sold ice-
cream cones, wore the white working
veils of the Red Cross,

“5500 yards of gauze await your fin-
gers”, said M. Strauss ’18, Senior Execu-
tive on the War Relief Committee, speak-
ing on Red Cross plans for the year, dur-
ing the intermission. ‘The work room
will be open, and we hope full, five nights
a week. We will work on the new dress-





ings, which are simpler than those we

made last year. The wool we plan to
have on sale may be paid for and re-
turned to us or sent to individual sol-
diers”.

Trench candles, made from old news-
papers and boiled in paraffin, will be the
charge of H. Hobbs ’18, Pembroke West.
She will give instructions in folding the
candles, and will boil them herself.
These candles burn with a smokeless
flame so hot that over three of them
water may be boiled in twenty minutes.

Movies, under the direction of last
year’s manager, M. Martin ‘19, who has
offered her services, may be given again
this year for the benefit of War Relief.
