The call everywhere is for men and
women who can make things; the empha-

subjects called practical or vocational.
The tendency to discount liberal studies
has received a new impetus. The danger
is that after the war this will continue.
“It is a significant fact that intelligent
men and women are awake to this’ Lord
Bryce recently led a deputation from the
English Classical Association io the
classics, which he held “essential to the
higher educational and moral life of the
nation”, should not become the exclusive
privilege of the rich. A month after this,
at a conference on classical subjects held
at Princeton, men from every walk of life
to the broadest and best education”.
AVERAGE AT WORKROOM FLAGS
Red Cross Caps and Aprons Arrive
Only 898 dressings were folded at the
Red Cross workroom last week, and the
workers averaged exactly a baker’s dozen,
in contrast to the totals of over a thou-
sand dressings and twice as many work-
ers in the previous weeks. Seven work-
ers made 100 dressings last Friday, Lan-
tern Night.
Twenty Red Cross caps and aprons; or-
dered the first of October, have come, and
are being sold at $1.50 an outfit. Caps
and aprons, some belonging to the work-
room and some to individuals, are now
kept at the room for workers every night.
Red Cross Post Open—Volunteers
Wanted
The Bryn Mawr Red Cross has asked
the College Red Cross to provide someone
to sell wool at its headquarters gn Lan-
caster Pike, from 2.30 to 5 Thursday and
Friday afternoons during the winter.
Candidates for either of these days are
asked to apply to F. Howell, Merion, as
soon as possible.

Red Cross Fuses with Belgian Relief |
This fall, after the Government loan to |
Belgium, this committee joined with the |
“Red Cross” in a double “War Relief |
Committee” of the Christian Association, |
which established for the first time con-
nection with the American Red Cross.
Under it the workroom was transplanted |
to Merion and kept openevery night, The |
work has been much more rigidly in- |
spected than formerly, wool has been dis- |
tributed, and the making of trench can- |
dies and leather waistqoats started, and
100 comfort kits have been packed and |
sent to France.
As the functions of this committee be- |
came more general and more numerous,
and the war work seemed to necessitate |
more than workroom activities, plans for
establishing a war council on a wider |
basis were formulated and two weeks ago
at a student mass meeting the present |
war council, which includes Faculty,
Staff, and Alumna, came into existence.

Two ‘Brya Mawr alumne, c. Kellen 16
and F. Kellogg '16, and one former stu-
dent, A. Richards ex-'18, sail for France
next Wednesday on the “Chicago”, under
a Red Cross Surgical Dressings Unit.
Standard Red Cross dressings are made
on this side, but the members of the Unit
will make special dressings for rush
orders.
“We promise to work anywhere in
France or Belgium”, said Miss Richards
in the course of an interview, “but we
shall probably stay in Paris”. Miss Rich-
ards has signed up with the Unit for six
months and at the end of her time may
work in an aviation hospital.
The “Chicago” is the French liner
which has carried so many American
Ambulance men. The Princeton Unit
crossed on it last April.
LANTERN CEREMONY SHORTENED
Red Lanterns Effective in Dusk
The Lantern Night ceremony was
shortened this year, in accordance with
a vote of the Senior Class, by abolishing
the Freshman procession through the
halls and by cutting down the singing
under the Arch. Class songs for ten
years back were simply asked for and
the absent class cheered, instead of each
song being sung by the Seniors as has
been done before. Originally on Lantern
Night class songs were sung from the
first class down.
The ceremony in the Cloister was un-
changed. Led by M. Foot, Freshman
President, and L. Reinhardt, song-mis-
tress, 1921 acquitted itself well in the
singing of “Over the Way to the Sacred
Shrine”. The red lanterns carried by the
Sophomores in long procession were most
effective and the Sophomore singing of
“Pallas Athene” excellent, but for a
slight difficulty at first in keeping to-
gether. 1920 was led by L. Kellogg, song-
mistress, and by BE. Wight.
The scaffolding on the cloister roof was
reduced this year to a mere platform
wide enough for two rows of people to
stand on, in accordance with a vote of the
Undergraduate Association to cut down
expenses,
