‘ “The Intercollegiate Community Serv-
_ ice Association and the War Work Com-
mittee of the Association of College
Alumne, of which President Thomas is
chairman, are planning to co-operate in
-establishing a clearing house for colle-
giate and intercollegiate European recon-
struction units”, said Dr. Susan Myra
Kingsbury, president of the I. C. S. A. and
‘Carola Woerishoffer Professor of Social
Economy, after speaking on the subject
in Chapel Monday morning. “Their aim
is to collect data on reconstruction work
and so to stimulate colleges to more or-
ganized effort”.
_Miss Kingsbury announced that the
I. C. S. A. had appointed a field secretary,
Katherine Hardwick of Boston, to go to
communities where she is called by col-
lege women to aid in arousing them to
their community responsibility.
The American Fund for French Wound-
ed, added Miss Kingsbury, will probably
co-operate. The chairman of the Smith
College whit, which is already in France/#
and the treasurer of the prospective
Wellesley unit have already offered to
help in formulating data on reconstruc-
tion.
Miss Kingsbury told something of the
human side of reconstruction, saying that
sympathy as well as actual rehabilitation
of industries and agriculture was needed
to accomplish the end of helping Europe,
especially France, Belgium and Italy, to
regain courage and re-establish their in-
dustrial and home life.
WRITTENS NO HARDER THAN ORALS
BUT EXPECTED TO BE EASIER
“Don’t go into your French and German
tutoring classes reluctantly, on a leash”,
was President Thomas’s advice to the
Sophomores and Juniors last week in
Chapel. “The internationalism which we
look forward to as one of the results of
this war cannot be better furthered than
by a knowledge of other nations’ lan-
guages”.
The high rate of failure among the
Seniors in their first French and German
“writtens” she attributed not to the fact
that the “writtens” were harder than the
orals used to be, but to the classes’ think-
ing that they would be easier.
.-ALL GRINDS TAKE NOTICE
A new athletic association has been
formed, which is called the Greasy Grinds’
Athletic Association. Membership is lim-
ited to those who will promise to take an
hour of exercise a day, not for pleasure
but for the sake of their work. More may
be taken if their studies seem to demand
it.
The president of the new association is
M. Martin °'19, and the vice-president,
secretary, and executive and advisory
boards is K. Tyler "19. For membership
and further information apply to presi-
dent or secretary.
NEW BRITISH SCHOLAR ARRIVES
Bryn Mawr’s second British scholar,,
Miss E. Maudsley Sanders, B.A., London,
Bristol and Ph.D., University of Paris, ar-
rived here last week on the steamship
Aurania sailing from Liverpool. She was
unable to get her passports to leave Eng-
land until a short time ago, when she ap-
pealed to the Board of Education.
Miss Sanders is specializing in Geology
and Education. For the present she is
living at the College Inn.
Miss Applebee Speaks to Graduates
Donald Hankey’s book, “A Student in
Arms,” was discussed at a meeting of the
Forum in the Graduate Club room last
Sunday. Miss Applebee led the discus-
sion, basing it on Hankey’s definition,
“To me religion is betting your life there
is a God.”
F. Buffum '18, head of the College Book
| Shop, will give the bulk of her share of
jethe- profits to war relief. ‘She will saye |
out just enough to pay for her “sheep-
skin” and meet her initial expenses in the
nurse’s training course which she plans
to take on leaving college.
CLASS PRESIDENTS CONFER WITH
PRESIDENT THOMAS ON FRESHMEN
No definite conclusion about the matter
of Freshmen being kept up late by the
upperclassmen was reached at the meet-
ing of the class presidents and the Soph-
omore and Freshmen representatives at
the Deanery last Thursday with President
Thomas, Dean Taft, and Miss Applebee.
The general opinion was that to give
the Freshmen more time their first class
meetings might be fewer and better or-
ganized.
President Thomas discussed the matter
a week ago Monday in Chapel, and the
Freshmen voted last week that they
would try to be in bed by half past ten,
