CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
INFORMALLY DISCUSSED

Speakers Debate Question of Re-

ligious or Ethical Basis
for C. A.

A NEW PLEDGE IS PROPOSED

—__





“To discover what the College thinks the
Christian Association should be” was the
purpose of the informal debate and gen-
eral discussion held on Denbigh Green last
Sunday morning. The four speakers, E.
Rhoads ’23, E. Howe ’24, J. Gregory ’25,
and JD. whether the
Christian Association should have a defi-

Smith ’26 discussed

nitely religious, or a. purely ethical, basis,
with an ideal of service.

Miss Gregory, who spoke first, felt that
neither the Christian Association or its
entrance pledge, meant a great deal at pres-
ent. She suggested that the remedy might
be found by a change of basis. Since a
purely religious stand, where religion im-
plies “a duty to God, and a system of faith
and worship,” would exclude all atheists
or agnostics, she recommended that the
Association be given up in favor of a
Social Service Bureau, while Chapel serv-
ices be arranged by a committee of the
Undergraduate Association.

Miss Howe, also defending the ethical
basis, said that the Christian Association
should include the three clases of people
in College, the people with dogmatic relig-
ion, those with a broader religion, and
those with no religion at all. She agreed
with Miss Gregory that “while it is not
possible to unite people in spiritual ideals,
it is possible to unite them through work.”
She therefore proposed an _ association
based on service, but with some oppor-
tunity for discussion of religious questions.

Miss Rhoads and Miss Smith, defend-
ing the spiritual basis, laid their chief: em-
phasis on the fact that the greatest in-
spiration to “good deeds” is spiritual be-
lief. Miss Smith said that she felt the
religious basis was to be by far the broader,
because it included both the service and
the spiritual ideals. If the social service
basis was accepted, she suggested, an or-
ganization might spring up, purely relig-
ious, and rather narrow, because it would
lack the humanitarian work which is bound

she felt,
while stressing service, would not overlook
that God and_= service are

a Christian Association,
the fact
inseparable.
In the discussion which followed, general
opinion seemed to be that the Christian
Association should continue to be a sep-
arate organization; that membership should
be based on a pledge to follow the ex-
ample set by the life of Christ, each mem-
ber to interpret it personally. This pledge,
a great part of the meeting felt, would
prove acceptable both to the people who
believe only in the value of Christ’s ethics,
and not in His divinity; and also to the

GLEE CLUB TO GIVE “PATIENCE”

NEXT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY

“Patience,” an operetta by Gilbert and
Sullivan, will be given by the Bryn Mawr
Club for the benefit of the Music
Department, on May 11 and 12, in the
Gymnasium at eight o'clock.

Satire of the “aesthetic”? movement of
nineteenth century England fills every line
of the operetta, brilliant satire that helped
greatly to cure the country of the “move-
ment.”

Bunthorne, the fleshly poet,” is a
take-off on Oscar Wilde, who would “walk
down Picadilly with a poppy or a lily in
his mediaeval hand,” and the whole play,
even down to Bunthorne’s costume, was

aimed especially at Wilde.

The scene is laid outside Castle Bun-
thorne, and the time is left entirely to the
imagination. M. Minott ’24, will play
“Patience,” and K. Conner ’24, is the hero.
Other important parts will be taken by B.
Constant ’24, K. Strauss ’23, H. Humphreys

ANNUAL LECTURE IN MEMORY
OF ANN SHEBLE GIVEN



Career of Countess of Pembroke

Described by Dr. Schelling



“Sidney’s Sister, Pembroke’s Mother,”
was the title of the first Ann Elizabeth
Sheble Memorial lectures, given by Dr.
Felix Schelling, Professor of English
Literature at the University of |Pennsyl-
vania, in Taylor Hall last Friday evening.
This lecture is the first of the annual lec-
tures to be given on some phase of Eng-
lish literature, preferably poetry, in memory
of Ann Sheble, of the class of 1923.

“Of all the Elizabethan women in their
dignity and their place as patrons of the
arts,” said Dr. Schelling, none so fulfilled
the requirements of a patron, a writer, and
an encourager of letters as Mary Sidney,
Countess of Pembroke, Sir Philip’s sister,
and the mother of the Earls of Pembroke
and of Montgomery, the two noble patrons
to whom the first folio of Shakespeare’s
plays was dedicated. Her connections with
men of letters were many, since she moved
in the center of that circle of brilliant men
and women who attempted to put into prac-
ice the literary principles which had been
set forth by Sidney. She was the collabo-
rator and reviser of the Arcadia, which
Sidney named for her; and her patronage
sustained such poets as Michael Drayton,
Samuel Daniel, and William Browne.”

According to Dr. Schelling, the position
of women in Elizabethan times was not
at all degraded, as is commonly supposed;
that came later the Stuarts. The
lady of the Tudor period had a rigorous
education in Greek, Latin, and mathematics,
as Lady Jane Grey could have testified.
Elizabeth was famous for her wit and
knowledge, but she was not the only clever
woman of her time.

with

as we see from Shakespeare’s
replicas. Three things were unknown to
them, the gallantry of the Restoration which
made every man a “Nimrod,’ and every
woman a “chaste Diana,” the morbid senti-
mentalism of introspection, the misan-
thropic cynicism that came with James.
From all this Lady Mary was free. Of
noble ancestry, Philip, Mary, and_ their
brothers and sisters passed their childhood
in comparative poverty. While very young,
Mary married the Earl of Pembroke, and
strangely enough, considering their inequal-
ity in age and the fact that the bride’s
wishes were hardly consulted, the marriage
was a very happy one. The two spent
much of their fortune sending young men
to the universities.

Mary’s brother, Philip Sidney, is famous

MONSIEUR'FERMIN ROZ SPEAKS
ON FRENCH YOUTH OF TO-DAY

Youth of To-Day and That of A
Century Ago Essentially The Same





Speaking on “La Jeunesse Francaise
D’aujourdhui” Monsieur Fermin Roz, As-
sociate Director of l’Office National des
Universitiés and des Ecoles Francaises,
gave a lecture under the auspices of the
French Club in Rockefeller Hall last Wed-
nesday night.

“It seems to me that French youth has
not changed for almost a century,” began
M. Roz. “It has the same literary tastes
and the great difference that is apparent
between the youth of today and the youth
of a century ago lies in external appear-
ance. The circumstances of life have
changed; the present day atmosphere is
hard and brutal; the war with all its dis-
illusion has made a great change. How-
ever, the youth of France is not prostrated
by this; on the contrary, it is trying to
ameliorate conditions as fast as possible.
Many professions lie open and young men
do not consult their tastes or the traditions
of their family, but seek to find a position
at once. I is natural that they should no
longer be carefree.

“Several important questions lie before
this French youth. First of all there is
the matter of politics. Our young men
have not studied industrial problems,” de-
clared M. Roz, “and do not consider polit-
They do not like
to discuss religion, holding it as an entirely
personal matter. However, there is one
group of students who are interested in the
effect of religion on social problems.

“The young girl,’ continued M. Roz, “has
come to be more like her brother. For-
merly educated in convents, she now has
the same education as the boys- Girls de-
mand this education in order to get good
positions.” According to Monsieur Roz
the war is responsible for much of this
change. Few families have the means they
once had and it has become necessary for
the girl as well as her brother to work
for the maintenance of herself and her
parents. The result of this is tending to
make the French girl more of an _ indi-
vidualist than she was when her person-
ality was absorbed by her family.

Romantic Movement Among Ger-
man Youth, Grows During War
into Expression of Idealism

DANISH LESS ORGANIZED



Jorgen Holck, of Denmark, and Hans
Hiesler, of Germany, foreign students
brought to this country by the National
Forum, who spent last week-end here under
the auspices of the Liberal Club, met stu-
dents informally at picnics, and discussed
the European Youth Movement at meet-
ings on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Apparently the German Youth Movement
has been more definitely formulated than
the Danish. Hans Tiesler outlined its de-
velopment as a romantic movement started
several years ago when there was no ma-
terial need. It was more or less a revolt
against the Church and against society,
which had been ignoring the deepest laws
of life, selfish interests becoming dominant.
Imperialism had swelled like a balloon and
like a balloon was empty. The protest
against all this was started by some young
people, who felt that the deep things of
life were to be found in nature and there-
fore left the cities, travelling all over Ger-
many trying to live the best possible lives:
Other groups of the same nature appeared,
which were also aiming to discover their
own attitude toward life and formulate
their own opinions. When the war came
they went into it as a way of expressing
idealism, and a tremendous idealism was
sacrificed for the Fatherland. After the
war the Youth Movement grew larger than
ever. About one million people belong to
it today.

In summing up his remarks, Hans Ties-
ler said that the movement does not aim
at any unified political or religious formu-
las, but at a new philosophy of life. There
is no attempt to make the different relig-
ious and. political groups within the Move-
ment think alike.

Jorgen Holck explained that there is no
youth movement in Denmark in the sense
of the German one, but small groups are
working in the same way without joining
together. In the secondary schools the
boys meet together for discussion, consid-
ering social, religious, evolutionary and in-
deed almost every kind of problem. In
this way interest is kept alive. At the
universities the students meet for discus-
sion; but here they carry their ideas
farther by attempting to bring their knowl-
edge to the working man, through the
Christian Student Movement, discussion
clubs, and social work.

In Sweden the situation is different. It
is difficult to stir up interest as the Swe-
dish students are, for the most part, se-
cluded in the small towns, where the uni-
versities are located, and do not realize the
problems of the world outside. Norwegian
students are more like the Danish, as their
university is in a large city. According to
Jorgen Holck, the American students who
live in beautiful surroundings are likely to
fall into the same state, of mind as the
Swedish.

THE EVER-INCREASING FLOOD

The old tradition that the Seniors break
their hoops if anyone should fail her last
chance at the orals, was given up by 1921,
who, deciding that under the new system
of language examinations it was too com-
plicated to wait until after the second oral
was given late in the spring, rolled their
hoops on the first of May, regardless of
custom. 1922 and 1923 have followed their
lead, a very delightful one, but with a
serious drawback. With the number of
hoops increasing every year, as they do
now, in a short time the College will be
flooded with them and thus losing their
ancient, revered characters, they will be-

come commonplace objects. If the Seniors

should go back to the old tradition next

year when the “new plan” orals are begun,
they could reinstate the hoop in its former
position and add to its interest.

“Dr. Weiss transplanted entire limbs in
amphibia, exchanging, for instance, arms
and legs, and demonstrated that these trans-
planted limbs functioned normally after a
few days. Ina group of these animals he
could even transplant whole hearts into the

NEW BOOK ROOM

J. Alexander Gunn, Modern French Phil-
osophy. This book, in the words of its
author, is “intended to serve a double pur-
pose.” “Primarily it aims at being a con-
tribution to the history of thought which
will provide a definite knowledge of the
best that has been said and thought among
philosophers in France during the last
seventy years.” ‘This covers a period from
Comte to Boutroux, who died about a year
and a half ago, and Bergson. Further, it
is in itself, an appeal for serious attention
to be given to French philosophy. “The



|
particular manner in which the main prob- |

lems presented themselves to the French
thinkers of the second half of the nine-
teenth century was largely determined by
the events and ideas which marked the
period from 1789 to 1851. For this reason
a chapter has been devoted to Antecedents.
3etween the Revolution and the coup d état
of Napoleon III, four distinct lines of
thought are discernible. ‘Then the main
currents from the year 1851 down to 1921
are described, with special reference to the
development of the main problems. The
reconciliation of science and conscience
proved to be the main general problem,
which became more definitely that of Free-
dom. This in itself is intimately bound up
with the doctrines of progress, of history,
of ethics and religion. These topics are
discussed in a manner which show their
bearing upon each other. The conclusion
aims at displaying the characteristics of
French thought which reveal themselves in
the study of these great problems. Its
vitality, concreteness, clearness, brilliance
and precision are noted, and a comparison
made between French thought and German
philosophy. From a general philosophical
standpoint, few periods could be so fasci-
nating. Few, if any, could show such a
complete revolution of thought as that wit-
nessed since the year 1851. To bring this
out clearly is the main object of the present
book.”

Jesus of Nazareth by George A. Barton,

PhDo LED.

This life is taken mainly from the four

Gospels, and, if these are taken as ade-
quate sources, has a consistent factual
basis. In the preface Dr. Barton explains
his attitude towards his book. He says,
“Our scietnific knowledge has been built
up from observing facts and forming
theories in accordance with them.
The present writer regards it as the duty
of religious teachers to produce a religious
literature in which the grounds of faith are
secured by the inductive method. In this
book he has accordingly made an effort to
follow the inductive rather than the dog-
matic way confident that for the thoughtful
young people of the present and the future
the goal of vital faith will be more easily
and surely reached by this path.”

An Autobiography by Lady Elizabeth Butler.

Lady Butler is an artist, a woman
whose career, apart from her art, has been
varied and adventurous; who has travelled
widely; and associated, not only with the
masters of her own craft, but with the
great and eminent in many fields. Her
book is, moreover, in the words of M. F.
Francis, the author of its preface, “the
revelation of a personality apart, at once
feminine and virile, endowed with the force
engendered by unswerving adherence to
lofty aims.” Lady Butler, who kept a
diary from the age of twelve, has written
an account of her life up to the close of
the Great War with a charm and vigor
superior to that of her other books, and
showing her as accomplished a writer as
she is a painter. She is especially famous
for her paintings, shown at the Royal
Academy in 1873 and 1881 respectively,
“The Roll Call,” and “Scotland Forever.”

M. E. Francis says of her, “She is a wor-
shipper of Beauty in its spiritual as well
as its concrete form, and all her life she
has encouraged mankind in its nobler
aspect.

The widow of a great soldier, during the
War, Lady Butler painted pictures which
shall forever immortalize the individual
and yet typical spirits of bravery, nobility
and pathos. Lady Butler has always given
generously of her best, and perhaps this
book of memories, intimate and character-
istic, this record of wide interests and high
endeavor, full of picturesque incident and
touched with delicate humor, is as valua-
ble a gift as any that she has yet bestowed.



SUMMER CONFERENCE AT
SILVER BAY DESCRIBED



This Year’s Delegation to be Chosen
From List Posted in Taylor Hall



Specially Contributed
“Silver Bay,’ the Y. W. C. A.
ence, held every summer on Lake George, to
which Bryn Mawr sends its delegation of
twenty-five, will last this year from June
22 to July 2. The list has already been
posted in Taylor so that those who wish

confer-

to go, may sign.

All the North Eastern Colleges send
delegations, and these together with the
foreign students, among them French, Bel-
gians, Czecho-Slovakian, Scandinavians,
Japanese and Chinese, make in all about
seven hundred.

Days at Silver Bay are full. Those un-
fortunate ones who are presented with
green buttons start the day with breakfast
at seven, while the white buttoned ones
may sleep till eight. Like all other meals
it affords one of the best opportunities for
meeting delegates from other colleges.
After Chapel there are small discussion
groups, followed by a big meeting in the
auditorium at which one of the leaders,
last year Dr. Coffin and Dr. Fosdick, make
an address. . Division meetings, at which all
people on any college board or ‘committee
discuss college problems and the various
methods of solving them, are held just
before lunch.

The afternoon is devoted to rest, ath-
letics and “jolly get-togethers.” In the eve-
ning there is community singing and a final
general meeting. Before going to bed
Bryn Mawr holds their delegation meet-
ings on the verandah of their shack, which
is the highest on the mountain side and
built over a rushing stream. At ten o’clock
there is “perfect quiet.”

Although the ten days there are busy
ones, Silver Bay is not merely the sum
total of all that one does, the people that
one knows, or all that one hears and thinks.
Neither is it a place to which one goes
merely to settle one’s own personal opin-
ions. Silver Bay gives one a broader out-
look on life and the realization “that there
is no place in the world for those who are
indifferent and selfish.”



NEWS FROM OTHER COLLEGES

The present officers of the Vassar Stu-
dents’ Association, the Athletic Association,
and the Christian Association recently pub-
lished, in the Vassar Miscellany News, the
requirements which they considered neces-
sary in candidates for their offices. “The
President of the Students’ Association,”
says the News, “should possess, of course,
the usual qualities of an executive: that is
ability to run an organization with com-
petent handling of details as well as larger
problems, and the power of working with
people with a minimum amount of friction.
But above all she must not be merely an
executive; she should have the ability to
keep so apart from details and routine that
she may occupy herself with larger and
more constructive problems. She should
possess imagination, an endless amount of
patience, and power of sustained effort,
keen judgment of people, interest in every
phase of college life, and a sense of humor.

“Although they need not be athletes
themselves, all the officers of the Athletic
Association should be really interested in
athletics for they are all members of the
Athletic Board, whose duty it is to look
after the general management of the affairs
of the Association.

“The President should have both execu-
tive ability and initiative; executive ability
as she is the executive head of the Associ-
ation, and many of her duties as such call
for that quality, and initiative so that she
will see and make improvements in the
Association throughout the year and thus
really contribute something towards it.

tion should be vitally interested in all its
activities. She should have high ideals for

his own love
There is no truer picture of his
courtesy and gentleness than the story of
how he gave the cup of water to the dying
soldier, but upon occasion he could be so
bold as to criticize his sovereign. In re-
tirement he wrote the Countess of Pem-
broke’s Arcadia, which he considered owed
more to Mary’s suggestion and inspiration
than to himself. Neither this work nor
any of his exquisite lyrics were printed
during his lifetime, since he felt that his
emotions were not the business of a read-
ing public. The Countess, however, cher-
ished his poetry and in 1595 she procured
the publication of the Arcadia, living to
see five editions. Sidney was an experi-
mentalist, imitating all sorts of types and
meters. Mary, in translating a French
tragedy on Anthony, is plainly trying to
continue her brother’s ideals. Towards
the end of 1599 Lady Pembroke, as the
hostess of Elizabeth on one of her royal
progresses, composed a pastoral dialogue
in honor of her sovereign which, it must
be admitted, was remarkable neither for
poetic form nor content. Her greatest serv-
ice to art was her patronage of poets,
especially Dr. Donne, Dean of St. Paul’s.
The influence of the Sidney Pembroke
circle may be seen on poets from Spenser
to Milton. Her ladyship lived until 1621,
spending the latter part of her life in char-
itable offices and_ religious exercises.
Among these, she gave her attention to
revisions and translations of the Psalms, a
favorite pastime of all Elizabethan men
and women.

“The lines written as her epitaph,” said
Dr. Schelling,

TALK ON DIABETES CURE
GIVEN BY DR. YATES



Science Club Hears of Discovery of
Insulin Injection



The recent discovery of a cure for dia-
betes was the subject upon which Dr.
Anna B. Yates, Associate in Physiology
and Biochemistry, talked at the Science
Club tea held in Pembroke East last Thurs-
day afternoon.

The most obvious symptoms of diabetes
which have been known since early times,
Dr. Yates explained, are thirst, muscular
weakness, emaciation, susceptibility to other
diseases, and a sweet constituent in the
urine. In 1838, the latter was found to be
glucose, one of the simple sugars, in the
form of which the carbohydrates which
the body tissues use are absorbed from the
alimentary canal. Evidently, in diabetes,
since so much sugar is excreted, the tissues
are unable to use it, and are starving for
it. As the disease progresses, the percent-
age of carbohydrates excreted increases,
and fats eaten are imperfectly oxidized,
forming acid substances which give rise
to the diabetic coma generally resulting in
death,

About 1890, a German scientist discov-
ered that dogs whose pancreas had been
removed showed all the symptoms of dia-
betes. He believed that, if the ducts by
which the secretions of the pancreas were
carried into the alimentary canal were
blocked, the cells of the pancreas would
die. In actual experiments some did, but
definite groups of cells remained unaffected.
Bernard, carrying on the investigations,
found that dogs treated in this way did
not develop diabetes. Attempts to make
an extract from the pancreas to treat the
disease proved injurious rather than
helpful.

Until two years ago, no cure had been
found. By rigorous dieting during early
stages it was possible to stay the disease,
but when a patient stopped dieting, the
disease again progressed. In 1920 Fred-
erick Banting and Professor Macleod of
the University of Toronto, working with
dogs, ligated the ducts from the pancreas
to the alimentary canal. When the cells
had degenerated, the pancreas was removed,
and an extract was made from the cells
that remained. Injections of this extract,
called insulin, temporarily lowered the per-
centage of sugar excreted by diabetic dogs.
By regulating the strength and frequency
of the injection Banting found it was pos-
sible to keep the dogs entirely sugar-free.

The injections were then given to diabetic
people, upon whom they had the same
effect. “The results are only temporary,”
Dr. Yates explained, “and the extract will
have to be standardized before it can be
safely used by doctors; yet by continued
infections, persons with diabetes can live
normal lives. We cannot find a preventive
measure until we know the cause of the
disease, but the discovery of insulin has
been a tremendous step forward.”

NEWS FROM OTHER COLLEGES

The Radcliffe Choral Society and the
Harvard Glee Club presented Gilbert and

their performances this spring.

Three of the Foreign Students, some of
whom have recently visited Bryn Mawr,
spoke at Mt. Holyoke College last week.

“He Who Gets Slapped,” will be given,
this year, by the Dramatic Club of the
University of Buffalo. It was given at
Bryn Mawr by 1923 as their Junior Play.





FOREIGN STUDENTS SPEND
WEEK-END AT BRYN MAWR



CONTINUED FROM PAGE ]

The Danish student leads a very different
life from the American student, as Jorgen
Holck explained at the meeting on Satur-
day evening. The secondary schools in
Denmark teach more than the schools over
here, consequently when the student enters
the university he is ready for very ad-
vanced work. A knowledge of German,
French and English is absolutely necessary
as books in these three languages may be
used in any course. In order to acquire
this familiarity with foreign languages the
student must work six hours at school and
four to eight hours at home. When he
reaches the university he must study for
seven or eight years, as the universities do
not aim to give a general education, but
a specialized training for some profession.

The student life has nothing to do with
the university. The only method of check-
ing up the work is the examinations which
come at the end of the several years of
study. According to Mr. Holck, this
works out very well because everyone is
studying for a: profession for which a first
degree will be of great material aid. The
system is also advantageous in that it helps
to develop character. There is no student
activity in our sense of the word, except
among the poor students who live in
dormitories.

Only a few of the Danish girls go in
for higher education. Many of them take
a course for one year, receiving a degree
in philosophy, but few are physically
strong enough to study for a profession.
Consequently they are not allowed to teach
in the secondary schools, as only students
who have obtained university degrees may
fill such a position.

During the discussion which followed,
Mr. Holck explained the difficulty with
Danish education as he sees it. It is too
impersonal and too intellectual. The stand-
ards are so high that many people are left
out of it entirely.

In answering questions about the Nor-
wegian students he explained that they
have entered the Communist Party because
they found there the most alive and inter-
ested young men. These young workers
feel that a revolution is bound to come
and it is wrong to keep putting it off for
future generations, for they believe that a
new culture and spiritual life will develop
from it.



FELLOWSHIPS FOR SOCIAL WORK
OFFERED TO SENIORS

Three Fellowships of $450 each are
offered for the academic year 1923-1924 by
the Intercollegiate Community Service As-
sociation to members of the graduating
class of Bryn Mawr, Smith, and Wellesley.

“The object of these fellowships is to
assist young women of adequate educa-
tional background, and an interest in so-
cial work as a profession, to devote a year
to combined study, supervised practice, and
residence in a settlement house,” according
to the Fellowship Committee of the I. C.
S. A. Application blanks for these scholar-
ships are posted on the bulletin boards of
Pembroke West, Radnor and Rockefeller.
Application must be made before May 20.

The Intercollegiate Community Service
Association also provides summer jobs in
factories for those interested in social work
and industrial problems. For example,
one of their placements in New York
would give opportunity to see industrial
work and workers, and at the same time
to study at the School of Social Research
or at Columbia University. Blanks are
posted in all the halls, and applicants
should fill them out as soon as possible.

ships and summer jobs, see Beth Dean,

E. PAGE WINNER IN FENCING
MEET LAST WEDNESDAY



Elizabeth Pearson Places Second and

Elizabeth Millspaugh Third



E. Page ’23 won first place in the fenc-
ing meet, which was held in the Gym-
nasium last W ednesday evening, and was
awarded the silver cup, given by the Fenc-
ers Club of Philadelphia. E. Pearson °24
won second place, receiving a silver foil,
and E. Millspaugh '26, who was awarded
a pair of fencing gauntlets, placed third.

Criticising the meet, Mr. Terrone said:
“Compared to last year’s, the meet shows
decided improvement. Although the fight-
ing was harder last year, it is now more
cautious; their fencing is more duel-like
and shows wonderful head work. But
there is not enough general physical work.

“They need more instruction and prac-
tice. In fencing in public, if you do not
have real preparedness, you fall down.
Only by continuous work, not too much at
once, one learns a subconscious control of
body and mental faculty which frequently
breaks down an opponent’s poise.

“Ranking highest among the fencers in
the College,” Mr. Terrone continued, “are
undoubtedly Miss Page, Miss Pearson, Miss
Child, and Miss Grey. There is very good
material in some of the beginners, but they
have had only a little practice.”

Beside Mr. Terrone, eleven judges from
the University of Pennsylvania were pres-
ent. There were: Dr. R. Tait McKenzie,
Professor Physical Culture at the Univer-
sity; Professor Paul Cret, Mr. Louis M.
Fleisher, Mr. Philip A. Castner, Mr. B.
Mitchell Simpson, Dr. Morman J. ._Brum-
baugh, Mr. Roger Franklin, Mr. Hermann
S. Hettinger, Mr. Donald Thomson, Mr.
David F. Covers, and Mr. Nelson Brown.
The scorers were: M. Connelly ’24 and
Mr. Waterson, of the University of
Pennsylvania.



THIRD TEAMS

1924 Vs. 1926



By a well-sustained rally in the second
half, the Freshman Third defeated the
Juniors, 39-34, in the first match of the
preliminaries.

In the first part of the game, the Fresh-
men shot wildly, while K. Gallway’s re-
liable shooting gave ’24 a decided lead.

At the beginning of the second half, the
Dark Blue improved in every respect. E.
Musselman ’26 started the attack by three
goals made in rapid succession. Although
personal fouls were called in an unusual
number, passing became much better, and
the game quickened. For a long time the
score was practically a tie, Dark and Light
Blue scoring successively, but, just before
the whistle blew, several rapid shots by
the Freshmen left the score in their favor.

Line-up:

1924—K. Gallway****** T Ford*, E,
Molitor*****, V. F. Miller, E. Tuttle.

1926—E. Musselman ee eee Ty
Laidlaw**, A. Johnston, M. Homer, E.
Tatnall.

1923 Vs. 1925

In a close game in which the score went
up point by point, the Senior third de-
feated the Sophomores 27-24.

The players were quick, but rough, and
the passing was careless and often inac-
curate. A. Howell ’23, who made one spec-
tacular play in the match, a field goal, was
the Green team’s most reliable member. J.
Gregory ’25 shot accurately, while H. Her-
mann ’25 played a steady game.

Line-up:

1923—I. Beaudrias****, C. Goddard**, A.
Howell****, A. Smith, C. McLaughlin.

1925—N. Waterbury****, J. Gregory*****,
L. Batber, M. Constant*, H. Hermann.



C. Gehring, ’25, has been elected to the
Ushering Committee, E. Bradley to the Cut
Committee, and A. Pantzer to the Auditing
Committee.

E. Glessner, ’25, will be Toastmistress at
Sophomore Banquet on May 18th.



FRESHMEN DEFEAT JUNIORS IN
FIRST GAME OF PRELIMINARIES

Dark Blue Plays Quick, Wild Game,
While Juniors Fumble the Ball



In a quite rough and hard game last
Monday, 1926’s first team defeated 1924
in the first game of the basketball pre-
liminaries, with a score of 17 to 21.

The victory went to the team who kept
their heads and used their wits to the best
effect; and, though the Juniors improved
decidedly in the second half, they were not
what the most sanguine could call calculat-
ing. The Freshmen played a quick, but also
wild game, and both teams did a good deal
of unnecessary fouling. 1926's shooting far
surpassed that of their opponents, and S.
McAdoo ’26, after a series of quick passes,
made several very pretty goals. W. Dodd
'26, dribbling down the field and then shoot-
ing, played a quite spectacular, neat game.
G. Leewitz and M, Talcott, the guards,
were quick, but lacked much team play.
This lack was the trouble with the whole
team, which was essentially one of indi-
vidual stars, who, if they would only com-
bine, could put up a most excellent game.

1924 fumbled most deplorably; and their
passing was inaccurate. S. Leewitz played
her usual neat game, but muddled consid-
erably with her other guard. The ball
seemed to bounce from hand to hand ap-
parently guided only by its own sweet will.
K. Elston, especially in the second half, was
the mainstay of her team, making seven
points. M. Buchanan, though paying for it
in fouls, also did a good deal of the scor-
ing. A contrast might be drawn between
the careful, accurate passes of M. Palache,
who came in for M. Buchanan in the lat-
ter part of the second half, and those of
her disordered team.

Line-up:

1924—K. Elston****, E. Howe*, M. Bu-
chanan***, S. Leewitz, M. Russel.

1926—W. Dodd***, F, Jay*****, S. Mc-
Adoo*****, G, Leewitz, M. Talcott.

M. Palache ’24, substituted for M.
Buchanan ’24,

SEVENTH TEAM



1924 vs. 1926

Junior Seventh defeated the Freshmen,
10-7, in a rather disorganized game, in the
first of the preliminaries on Monday.

The Freshmen played wildly, giving 1924
more opportunity for passing than they
should have, and 1924 also showed more
fight. M. Woodworth, ’24, and F. Begg,
'24, played well together in the second half,
while for the Freshmen, M. Wylie was a
dependable center and L. Adams a quick
forward.

The line-up was:

1924—M. Woodworth*, F. Begg*** A,
Pratt*, R. Godefroy, E. Crowell.

Substitutes—M. Woodworth for R. Gode-
froy, K. Brauns for M. Woodworth.

1926—H. Rodgers*, L. Adams*, M.
Wylie*, M. Spalding, E. Cushman.

Goals from free shots—L. Adams*.



1923 vs. 1925

A game characterized by frequent foul-
ing gave a victory of 19-8 over the Seniors
in the first game of the preliminaries on
Monday.

M. M. Dunn as center was the star of
the Sophomore team, shooting frequent
baskets. The line-up was:

1925—M. Shumway, H. Henshaw, M. M.
Dunn, T. Fujita, M. Gardiner,

1923—I. Lemon, I. Gates, B. Kilroy, S.
Archbald, K. Shumway.



1925 has elected the following members
to Christian Association Committees:
Maids, H. Hermann; Bates, M. Pierce;
Membership, E. Smith; Publicity, M. Cas-
tleman; Religious Meetings, E. Boross;
Sewing and Junk, A. Woodworth; Social
Service, K. McBride; Finance, M. Gardiner.

Showing exceptionally fast playing, 1924’s
fifth team defeated the Freshmen 15 to 13
in the first game of the preliminaries on
Monday.

1926 passed exceptionally well, but could
not escape the speed of G. Anderson ’24
and M. Minott ’24, who intercepted many
of the passes. A. Long ’26 and H. Clem-
ons ’26 played together well, and K. Tom-
kins was quick and intelligent as guard.

The line-up was:

SCHICK TEST FOR DIPHTHERIA
DISCUSSED BY DR. BRANSON

Dr. Branson spoke on the Schick test
for diphtheria, in chapel last Friday
morning.

The State Medical Society, Dr. Branson
explained, with the co-operation of the
3oard of Health at Harrisburg, is work-
ing against diphtheria. There are more
deaths from it now than from measles and
scarlet fever and all the diseases which
follow on them. Formerly 40 per cent. of
the people died from it, but the discovery
of antitoxin has caused a great change.
The process of the method of injection
is twofold. The Schick test is given first.
If the patient has any reaction, he is not
immune and antitoxin is injected. The
serum should even be taken by people who
have had diphtheria if they want protection
against a second attack.



MERION DEFEATS VARSITY IN
FIRST TENNIS MATCH



Helen Rice and Florence Martin
Win Their Matches



Varsity tennis team lost to the Merion
Cricket Club in three out of five matches
last Saturday morning, the first Varsity
games of the season.

The Varsity line-up was: H. Rice '20;-D).
O’Shea ’26, C. Remak 25, R. McAneny ’23,
F, Martin ’23. The substitutes were: W.
Dodd ’26, and F. Jay ’26.

H. Rice ’23, first on Varsity, defeated
Miss Townsend of Merion, 8-10, 6-3, 7-5,
both playing hard and in excellent form,
contesting every point. D. O’Shea 26, lost
to Miss Walsh, 4-6, 2-6, through. better
placing, in a rather uninteresting game.
C. Remak ’25, lost to Mrs. Madeira, 2-6,
6-8, with long rallies and good net playing.
Mrs. Madeira had an excellent cross-court
drive. R, McAneny ’23, lost to Miss Green,
1-6, 4-6, in a rather slow and unexciting
game, both playing steadily and cautiously.
F. Martin ’23, defeated Miss Seal, 6-2, 7-5,
driving hard and placing better than her
opponent.

The Faculty match will be a week from
Saturday, and Varsity will also play the
Alumnae and probably the Germantown
Cricket Club.



SENIORS DEFEAT SOPHOMORE
IN CLOSELY CONTESTED GAME

Barely triumphing over the Sophomores,
1923 won the first game of the prelimi-
nary matches yesterday afternoon, bya
score of 24-22.

The playing of the first half, though un-
steady at the beginning, soon settled down
into more organized team work. C. Remak,
who kept up a steady line of goals, made
some dramatic shots. The Senior for-
wards and center showed splendid team
play, making several baskets after a series
of quick passes. A long throw from A,
Clement to H. Rice netted a goal for the
Greens which brought up the score to 13-12
in their favor at the end of the first half.

Animated and quick playing made the
game a cleaner one during the second
period. The Sophomores, though out-
played at the first by their opponents, soon
rallied and put up a hard fight, their
guards being particularly effective. B.
Voorhees, Sophomore center forward, cov-
ered the whole field and aided her team
in passing the ball. For the Seniors F.
Martin played a clear-headed, quick game.

Line-up:

1923—F. Martin*, E. Vincent, A. Clement,
H. Rice****) M. Adams**®*#****,

1925—L. Voorhees*, M. Mutch, D. Lee,

NATIVE OF GOLD COAST SPEAKS
ON PASSING OF ECLIPSE

Mr. Kwegyir Aggrei Says That Good

is Greatest Enemy of Best





“The Passing of the Eclipse” was the
subject chosen by Mr. Kwegyir Aggrei, a
native of the African gold coast, who spoke
in chapel last Sunday night.

Taking as his text, “In the year King
Uzziah died, I saw the Lord,” Mr. Aggrei
illustrated his sermon with many pictur-
esque illustrations. “If we could so live,”
said Mr. Aggrei, “that people would see
not us but Jesus in us, it would be the most
powerful factor in changing the world.”
Likening Uzziah, the good king, to an
eclipse that prevented Isaiah from seeing
the Lord, Mr. Aggrei said that the good is
the greatest enemy of the best. “Our choice
is not between the good and the bad,” he
declared, “but between the good and the
best. The difference between people is that
some have seen the Lord, others have not.
Our progress in spiritual sciences has not
kept pace with our great advance in social
and natural sciences. It is Christ who must
make the remarkable in our badly adjusted
lives.”
