Oitering Hospitality To Alumnae
Spending Night ~

FOURTEEN SPEECHES GIVEN

Three- hundred and thirty alumnae at-
tended the alumnae banquet in honor of
President’ -Park~ last. Friday -night.— -The
supper was given in Pembroke,Hall, which
was decorated with bright colored autumn



leaves harmonizing with the’ chrysanthe- |’

mums on the tables. The speeches began
as soon as the tables were cleared and
were informal suggestions: and opinions.
Miss Anne Todd, ’02, president of the
Alumnae “Association, was in the chair.
she said, “to
welcome so many alumnae. That there are
so many here is a miracle wrought by the
good ‘will of the neighboring alumnae and
of the undergraduates. Through their
president, Miss Martin; the alumnae were
offered Pembroke-West and the undergrad-
uates are scattered about the .collége, sleep-
ing on window seats, or two in single beds;
and we are in their comfortable quarters.
Our most grateful thanks to our absentee
hostesses!” » Miss, Todd ended with the
story of the man who put an acorn inio
the ground arid-“left the growth to God”
and in this same feeling of faith and trust,
she said, “we must leave the growth of the

College to President Park’s wisdom and |

care.”

mistress of the evening. Miss—
mentioned the places from which the three
hundred and-thirty-alumnae—had—come_to
“sive greetings to the new President”; and
after a silent toast to the two first presi-
dents of the College introduced the next
speaker, Josephine Goldmark, ’98. After
speaking of her own undergraduate days,
of the nonsense, the fooling and the same
more serious question of self-government
and academic duties that impress the wn-
dergraduate of today, Miss Goldmark spoke
of President Park. “Hers is no empiy
honor, - her path is a difficult ohe, not. be-
cause she is a_ successor to . President

-Thomas who held the torch so magnifi-

cently, but because this is the era of dis-
illusionment.. We turn now with a new
interest and passion to education, we bring
flexible minds and open hearts. The new
President may count on this, and that the

* education here is combined with the spirit

of youth, the hope of the world.”

Mrs. W. Ladd (A. E.° Rhoads, ’89),
trustee and director of the College, who
spoke next: “President Thomas was the
president of the College of~yesterday, io-

Millicent Cary, -’20, was .the youngest
alumng to speak. She made two sugges-
tions that she had learned in her last year’s
experience. at an English university, “One
thing that I should like to see done,” she
said, “is a system for real leisure estab-
lished, leisure to think, read, get ideas, and
make friends, and another thing is the es-
tablishment of comprehensive examinations,

‘with more specialization in group subjects

and an opportunity for original work.”
The fourth speaker was Harriet Brad-
ford, ’15; she began ‘by complimenting
President Park’s “master stroke” which let
“all the alumnae tell her how to run the.

FRESHMEN TO RECEIVE LAN*ERN, |
ACCORDING TO,OLD TRADITIONS
Lantern Night, one of the oldest cus-
toms in Bryn “Mawr. history, will be ob-
seryed Friday ‘evening, when the Fresh-
men receive the lanterns gom the
Sophomore class. *
_ The first class to receive lanterns in
College was 1890, when the ceremony
was merely an incident in an impromptu
entertainment: which the Sophgmores |||
gave the Freshmen. Later the ceremony |||
was transferred to the night when the
Freshmen received their caps and gowns
and was removed from the campus to
the Cloisters, where it has been held
‘ever since.

“Pallas Athene Thea,” written “as
1893’s class song, is sung by the Sopho-
mores, as they file into the Cloisters.
The .Freshmen answer by the Greek
song “Sofyas Filae Paromen,” ‘first sung
by 1924.

recalled the first ceremony which took place
for the same purpose almost “thirty-seven

Jones reatl a congratulatory cable that had

gained the confidence and affection of those _

* " THE LANTERN
- “What hast thou lost? That. which }
never had’—a College Magazine. .

New policies are intriguing. They have
a. f4scination due: perhaps to the shine of
their first coat of paint. So the College
in general heard with interest the plucky
decision of ‘the Lantern Board last year, to
make its magazine represent truly the liter
ary attempts of the students themselves.
Net it was, and still is fighting against great

odds, against the indifference of a certain

portion of College which looks upon ‘it as
a private concern, affecting them only in
so far as it provides a half hour’s enter-
tainment. To make the Lantern what it
‘should be, and what the Board aspires to

* make it—a true College magazine — we

should be willing to, stand behind it. And
this is not in the capacity of an indulgent
public, but as active members, willing to
‘see that it gets the “right kind of stuff.”

E. RHODES EXPLAINS MEANING OF
C. A. PLEDGE
EV cata
Places Emphasis on Spiritua! Welfare
and Need for High Ideals

“The ‘Policies of the Christian Associ--

tion’ is, I think, a very forbidding title,”
said AZ. Rhodes, ’23, speaking in Vespers
last Sunday. “However, in spite of the
formality of the title what I hope to sav
is really very simple, though difficult te
express, for. | want to tell you’ of ou:
hopes for the Christian - A’ssociation . for
this year.”
—Miss--Rhodes explained that the Chris-
tian Association through its pledge means
to offer its membership to any student wh»
desires to live up to high ideals of life;
and that everyone, no .matter what her
theology, must realize the supremacy of
‘Jesus Christ as a moral and spiritual leader
She added that the word “worship” in the
second article means only that tribute of
admiration and appreciation that. we pay
to such supremacy.

Dividing the Christian Association in:o
divisions, the organization side, work at

.the Community Center, etc., and the evaa-

gelical afid spiritual side, Miss Rhodes said.
that first side. was well organized and that
what we need is to emphasize the spiritual
side more than we have done before. “We
go to chapel perhaps to be with our friends
or for half a dozen other ill-defined. rea-
sons, Or we stay away for. the same rea-
sons. We haven’t even cared enough to
think it out—we drift.

“For this year we do hope to emphasize
the spiritual side in a rather new way. We
do not want any religious ‘hysteria in the
College; what we do want is character.
We want intelligent enthusiasts, not saa
ferent folk.

“Our hope, for the Christian Association
this year,” concluded Miss Rhodes, “is that
we should become réal and positive char-
acters and live up to our ideals.” She added
that the influence of a group» who had the,

| courage to live out-their ideal of life would |
ix-|be beyond belief and that it would make |
the Christan Association a “real and liv-





age te: moet somehow.”

“HOLDS FIRST MEETING



Six Egan Students Tour Amer-
» > jean Colleges Soon

The Executive Committee. of. the ¢Na-
tional Student Forum met for the -first
time this autunin at the Forum office in
New York ,last Saturday. Although John
Rothschild, secretary of the Forum,’is still
in Etirope, other members of the Commit-
tee discussed the two important undertak-
ihgs proposed ‘for this.year. E, Vincent,
23, and J Wise, -ex-'24, who fg now a’
Radcliffe, ‘attended the meeting. :

A. plan for a “student. conference to be
held during the Christmas holidays on the
subject of the economic basis of college
education was the first item on the agenda.
This.-conference.“will..be. entirely..managed
by: students, and efforts will be made tu
have represented as many different types
of undergraduates as possible. : :

Discussion of the six foreign students
who are coming to America under the

°



.|auspices of the Forum then. followed, and

it was decided that Colleges which have
affiliated with the Forum’should have pref-
erence over others when the booking ar-
rangements are made. Bryn Mawr will,
therefore, be upon the preferred list. A
bulletin announcing the coming of the six
dents reads in part:

“The National Student Forum is brinz-®
ing six European students to America
whom we plan to have visit the colleges
and universities. of America. These six
young people will be leaders.active in the
‘Youth Movement’ abroad, of fine social
consciousness, and“Avith full realization oi
social responsibility. . The Forum antici-
pates that the friendships» formed during
their ‘visit with the American students. will
be stimuli to international friendship and
an impulse *to’reat social service and more’
mature and socially more -effective intel--
lectual activity. Mr. John Rothschild
executive secretary, and Mr. George Pratt.
Jr., foreign secretary and treasurer of the
N. S. F., have been in Europe since July
forming contacts and’ interviewing, with
the-end_in view of ultimately selecting a
group of young men and women who wil
have a message of real importance for the
American ‘student.’ It is still uncertain as
to which countries will be represented in
the delegation. Present indications, how-
ever, are that they will come from Ger-
many, Holland, France, Czecho-Slovakia
and either Italy or England.

“The students will arrive about the sec-
ond week im December. A week or so will
be spent in becoming acclimated and meet-
ing the students in New York. Early in
the new year they will begin their tour of
the colleges. They will travel in two sec-
tions of three students each—each one of
these sections being aceompanied by a
officer of the Forum—thus making two
groups of four. In order that there may
be opportunity for the Ameyican students
to meet the Europeans and thresh out
ideas with ‘them we are planning a stav
of three or four days in each of the coi-
leges visited. This means that in all forty
colleges out of the 700 odd in the’ United
States can be visited. We have prepared
preferential lists of colleges where we be-
lieve the visit of the European students
would be most fruitful, and Bryn Mawr
College is-on the first list. We will do our

-hest to arrange for one of the sections tc

visit Bryn Mawr-.College, if you are inter-
ested in having them, and feel réasonably
sure that they will have sufficient .atten-
tion from the student body, or: that part
of it which might be expected to respond.
“The loan plan of financing the mission,
as set forth in the original announcements,
has proved impracticable. We must, there-
fore, ask the student group or the college
administration at whose invitation’ the
mission visits a college to pay what it can
toward the general expenses of the mis-
sion and to furnish hospitality. The bal-
‘ance of the general expenses we iwill man-

Folk dancing even more than swimminy

for both singing and folk dancing classes °

It was the bitter discussion on movement
towagd consolidation of Unions or indus-
trial Unionism that the personality of such
leaders as Robert Smillie as opposed tc
Frank Hodges (both @f the Minérs’ Fed-
eration) and’ of J. Clynes: appeared.
The experience in _the strike last spring
when, the engineers (mechanics) and fhe
forty-seven Unions (in associated trades)
were unable to agree, brought forth reso-
lutions looking toward centralization of
influence and even power in the General
Council. It was then that Mr. Frank

with Robert Smillie. Whéh Mr. J. 28.
Clynes (General Workers’ Union) urged
the Council to withdraw the resolution, it
became apparent that the Congress was
unwilling, to take any oe toward this
radical measure.

‘Another outstanding personality. in the
Congress was Miss Margaret Bondfield,
whom many members of Bryn Mawr Col-
lege will remember when she spoke at the
session of the International Congress ot
Working Women here in 1919. Her quick,
clear grasp of every subject, and her able
and powerful presentation (she is reputed
to be one of the best women speakers: in

England) led the chairman of the Coun-|

to turn to her to clarify a discussion. It

Miss B@WMord said, “Hitherto it has becn

cordance with the world’s point of view is

it is hated. Bryn Mawr is acting agains:
this point of view but she is nevertheless
respected ‘in spite of her idéas; with the
material contribution "President, Park can),
bring to the College’s success and the suc-
cess. of President Thomas’ work, Bryn
Mawr in the-future’ may be loved!” :

Miss Ann Lawther, '97, the first woman
on-the State Board.of Education in lowa,
spoke on the Middle West’s contribution
to Bryn Mawr. “The Middle West,” Miss
Lawther said, “can give you financial as-
sistance; it might send you students if it
could get ‘them in,,although the few that
o get in you rarely return. Alumnae al-
ways come to Iowa as professors or pro-
fessérs’ wives or léading™ citizens’ wives,
the hallmark of Bryn Mawr is beautifully”
engraved upon them and even more beau j-
ful engraving can be expected inthe 1tu-
ture with the new artist, President Park.”

Mrs. ). F. Porter (A. Furness, 96), spoke
on the relation of college and the prepara-
tory schools of the “Corn Belt.” She felt
that Bryn Mawr should choose its studenis
from a wider field,. “examinations set up
an economic barrier, defenses a*small col-
lege must have but not a restriction-in the
field of choice; there is a danger that Bryn
Mawr may become arrich girls’ ial due
eh these examinations.”

._Miss Mary Breed’s (794) ‘speech was in
the form of a dialogue between herself and
Nelson and cannot be done justice to by
extract.

A train wreck almost prevented Miss
Sarah Stites from attending the inaugura-
tion, but she arrived simultaneously with
her telegram explaining her non-appearance
and spoke although, she: declared, “her
anxiety had knocked her prepared speech
straight out.” As dean of Simons College,
Miss Sites had known President Park in
an administrative capacity and she spoke
of her “warmth, open-mindedness and
sweetness.” Colleges are facing grave
questidns now, Miss Stites said, of who
will support thgm, who “will control them
and what their educative policies are to be,
that President Park can help Bryn Mawr
face these problems she felt sure, so sure
in fact that she said she was “going to
have a daughter on purpose to send her to
Bryn Mawr.” ; :

Philadelphia’s attitude ‘toward Bryn
‘Mawr was described by Marion Reilly, ’01.
At fitst, according to Miss Reilly, Phila-
delphia felt like Europe with the Bolshe-
vists at her borders, “then she became in-
terested in the clothes of the students and

was inclined to think them tod hard and :

*'then, due to a little too promiscuous prac-
ticing of the articulated rhythms, too soft.

+| Miss Reilly’s remark as a’small child is per-

haps characteristic .of a certain. attitude,
“Hell wasn’t. go bad, Because Perserpint
lived there with Pluto every six months
quite comfortably and Bryn Mawr can’t be
+any~worse.’ ——"
The problem of ‘education was taken up
—_ by Mrs. H. D. Pearson (E. W. Win-
r, 92), the solution of _ which is “not by
Cea ein but» by making the in-

dividual student the starting point; by plac-. ~

ing the respgnsibility of education-on her.”

The faculty was represented at the din-
ner by Dr. Marion- Parish Smith, ’01; she
introduced the analogy: of the queen bee
which is tolerated only after it gets the
“smell of the hive”; the way the faculty
swarmed into the first chapel shows, she
said, that “our “new qutén bee has the
smell of the hive alregdy. You want to
know,” she went on, “something about the
faculty, the workers of the swarm; the
subject is statistical and dry. There is only
one member of the present faculty that was

Address Delivered at St. Andrew's Univer-

author says, “This’is my first and my last

says, “There is nothing else much worth
speaking: about to undergraduates or grad-

is the lovely virtue, the rib-of Himself that
God sent down to His children.” And in

for the upbuilding of a better social order !”
Dr. Neilson Congratulates Bryn Mawr
President William Allan Neilson, Ph.D.,

of Smith College, was the next
speaker.

“I bring even more intimate and affec-
tionate greetings than President Angell,”
President Neilson said, “for I speak for a
sister college; men’s colleges are always
rivals, but we know all about each other.

“The passage of another administration
at Bryn Mawr is no less exciting to us than
the passage of a prime minister to others.
We have watched President Park for many
years; we have known her as a scholar, as
a teacher and as an administrator. "A year
ago I heard President Park speak at Hvl-
yoke, I was struck then by what she said
and I am struck now by the fact that I ‘can
still recall it; she spoke then of the double
ideal of seriousness and frivolity and this
_means at Bryn Mawr not a change but a
carrying on of principles already estab-
lished.” :

“I congratulate Bryn Mawr because
President Park is a scholar, I congratulate
Bryn Mawr on President Park’s personal
qualities, her poise, her keen intelligence,
her subtle humor and her solid ingegrity.
[ also must congratulate President Park
on her choice of a college to be President
of, for Bryn Mawr has what we all aim
at, a high degree of distinction or scholar:
ship. Bryn Mawr has been the feeder of
the great universities which has been partly
her handicap but always its glory, and she
has kept close touch with the culture of
the old world.

“Most of all I congratulate Bryn Mawr
and President Park on Bryn Mawr’s orig-
inality, it has ever followed its own genius
and taken the educational initiative.”

Dr. Comfort Brings Greetings

‘President William W. Comfort, Ph.£.,
-Litt.D., LL{D., of Haverford College, wis
‘the next to speak. He said:

“The greetings from the men’s and wom-
en's colleges have been given and it would
seem as though the opportunity for greet-
ng was exhausted, -but I shall speak for
Haverford on behalf. of the colleges of
Pennsylvania. ay

“Haverford’s interest in ‘Bryn Mawr. tu
day. is not wholly .due_ to geographica!
propinquity ; both colleges spring from ths

: same purpose and though their goals o:
endeavor may be different the game i:
played under *the same sterling rules cl

America. Duriff® the.sixteen. and seven-

being founded;- not’ for a moment to pro-’

later, when the anxious pioneer period was

of the community. Their origin was in the
demands of the pupils and the foresight
of the teachers.. The shrinking statements
of their catalogues indicate that they were
sometimes carried on in the fa¢e of real
opposition from the public, and usually
without any encouragement from. it. Out
of such schools and under the influence of
women trained iri them grew directly 01
indirectly most of the present group of
women’s colleges. The mark of their origin
is curiously lasting.

“Before most’of them were on their. feet
many state universities had been founded
in the middle west. The passage of the
200 years between the foundation of Har-
vard and the foundation of the University
of Michigan left its mark. The institutions

|of*the second great pioneer period: of the

country were based on the principle of an
open door in education and among the sons
of the middle border the importance of the
woman in a young civilization was too
fresh in mind to be ignored, One by one
as the universities opened they connected
themselves directly with the public school
system, interpreting. liberally all entrance
requirements, and they admitted: men and
women alike, The women’s colleges in the
older east both in their founding and ‘in
their growth were unaffected by the new
university -system. They presented them-
selves as a small#group with a tradition
of suffrance from the community on the
one hand and independence of it on the
other and thus they stood by themselves
with their own way to make. Now, as the

“Like the privately endowed colleges for

and with few exceptions’ residence on™ the
college campus of nearby is made compul-
sory. The students are ths automatically

and take of life in, their own homes and
towns and this during four impressionable
years, years when they are clay in the hand
of the potter, when: they are ready listeners
to doctrine and ripe for the, appeal of feel-
ing. Mount Holyoke and Vassar ip their

wooded seclusion, Bryn Mawr in her quiet
lawns, with only the panting of the heavy
trains and’ the northern sky made rosy at
- night by the glare of the furnaces at Con-
shohocken to remind her directly of the
problems of industry—éhey all yearn to
isolate the student and direct her thoughts
to the subjects of their curricula, the train-
ing of th¢ir choice.

“Again the woman’s colleges have kept

each student to a carefully defined course
of study; she must spend a definite time
in studying something of each of. the great
_ branches of learning and in that branch
in which she shows: special aptitdue she

is no democracy in their catalogues.

‘be equal before their bar and they hesitate
no more for the public outcry than for the
protests of agonized parents.

“The woman’s college justtfies her exist-

sence by claiming to do a service to. the
community, by claiming to send_ back
women well trained for life in their littie
‘worlds. With all her independence of the
community in her .policy and her practice
she despatches her graduates at the end-of
their four years of training back to their
old homes or, to new homes of their own,
retaining only*a few to carry on within
‘her walls the tradition of instruction in
their ‘turn. She even believes and asserts
that the women who have. been educated
in her independent traditions go out to be
leaders in the groups outside!
- “What then is the situation? The wom-
an’s college is independent of the com-
munity’s control through its- ordinary—edu-
‘cational system, representative of numet-
ically few. of its families, anxious to re-
“move her nurslings from its direct influence
for the term of their training, compelling
them to walk in a road of her own choos-
‘ing, yet expecting them ‘to be received again
after her work with them is done. Certainly
the public has a right to watch jealously
organizations of such independence and io
make its requirements of them great and
constant. ’

“The college on her side is conscious of
wise traditions and high purposes. She has
been hard at work for two generations.
The requirements she has made of herse!t
are the result of experience and of thought.
What must she add to them? What must
she assume further as her duty to the pub-
lic? If its demands be really just, the
college should, indeed must, make these
demands of herself. Every college must be
a going concern, must pay its bills, but its
policy should always. be toward the: lesser
rather than the greater expense for the
student. It is harder for the college ad-
ministration than for outsiders to know
the sad loss which -the college suffers in
receiving only one type of student. Its
tiny melting pot is in the way of being an
extraordinarily effective. one. Within the
small circle of college life closeness of ac+
quaintance, which in the intelligent person
is the foundation -for democracy, is» espe
cially possible. East, west, north and south,

change in her attitude toward persons and

sees. Every, intellectual exercise in the
classroom, every discussion on the campus,
shows the value of variety. The lack of it

ignorances. a

wish to practice the vocations or profes-

of “expert workers at least of expert work
is nevertheless possible. .-Mr.. Dewey has
pointed out recently that before our know!-
edge will warrant our spegking of an 4rt
of education—an art we all hope to ‘speak
of before we die—we must expect to go
through a complex process. With all avgil-
able biological and psychological data in@

In that criticism we may perhaps make a
solid contribution however small to that.
future era of education. pactly organized to give an academic train-
ing» can--make..a_valuable_ contribution’ tu
the public in such experiments and in such
discriminating criticism of the experiments
once made. It is not enough to say that
a woman’s college cannot settle into a ‘rou-
tine of method or curriculum; it should be
willing to make its own methods of teach-
ing, the methods of learning which it im-
poses on its students now and again, ex-
periments, combinations of caution and dar-
ing. Again, it should be ready to make

(such as the Training School for Social
Work at Smith or the Summer School for
Women Workers in’ Industry at’ Bryn
Mawr). Again it should use all its own
capacities; “while giving its students the
groundwork for professional training,
teaching, medicine, law, it should’ present
to those choosing the professions aid to
all others the opportunity’ for contact with
advanced academic ‘work ‘itself, with the
scholar in his study, the scientist in his
research laboratory. And remembering the
pit from which they ,were -digged, it. is es:
pecially the business of the women’s col-
lege to keep if min@ the profession of the
teacher, to call out and encourage the stu-
dent who shows that combination of, intei-
ligence. and imagination necessary for the
good teacher and to see that she is directed
into the proper preparation.

“The residence college sets_arbitrarily its
physical requirements for admission, it 1s
able to regulate the food and exercise and
it is equipped to watch the effect of the
environment on its students. It should es-
tablish itself as an important ally in all
study of public health and it should be
required to contribute for the public’ its in-
formation on the health’ of young women.
It is in a position’ to accumulate for its
own use outside a body of facts relating
to conditions among normal women which

be’ otherwise reached. The truth is that
such a study, which to be valuable ‘must
be kept up to the minute, can be.made only
with an expenditure of time, money and
intelligence that the women’s colleges have
not dared to volunteer nor the public to
demand. Nor have they made-sure that

tion about herself and about the conditions
of health which would make it possiblé for
her to keep herself fit to do hard work not
only for a limited period but for a long
working life. *

“What advantages of training can the
community demand for the young*woman
whom it loans, not gives, to the college?
Two, from the college requirements which
are most criticized. If ‘part of the tradi-
tional value of admission by some form ot

*NEW GUINEA TRANSFORMED
SAYS MISSIONARY:



Gospel of Christ Teaches Natives Love

wartd Urirequited Giving :
- “A sincere belief in Jesus Christ, in the
Holy Ghost, and in the powe? of prayer,
has been sufficient to change’ the .entire
character, religion, and habits of the war-
like savages of New’ @&uinea. They have
become peaceful citizens,’ said the Rev.
C. W. Abel, missionary in New Guinea,
under the auspices of the New England
Missionary Society, when he spoke in
chapel last Sunday night. ,

“New Guinea is the largest island in the
world,” he continued. “It is a country of
high mountains with peaks 2000 feet high,
of undulating foothills—a land of great
rivers and forest-clad valleys. About every
fifty miles there is a distinct clan or trib:
which cannot understand its neighbors and
which is at enmity with them. Eight years
after I came to New Guinea,” Dr. Abel
said,-“one of my colleagues was murdered
and eaten. All this has changed. through
the gospel of Jesus Christ. There was no
word equivalent to love in their language;
they knew no love except the savage pro-
pensity of a mother for her child; Jesus
Christ has given them love. They knew of
no stich thing as a disinterested gift. Yet
in the lasts two years, the people in one
district alone have given over $5000 to the
mission without expectation of any return.
When-the missionaries @rst came, the peo-
ple couldn’t sing at’all. The women tfied
treble and the men bass. They can: read
music and really enjoy it ffow.
sions have excellent choirs. If you in-
vestigated the people carefully,” he con-
cluded, “you would come away impressed
by the fact that they were very sincere in
their love for Christ, and that the religioi
which they had received through the gospel
of Christ was very useful.”

the History of Religion at Amherst’ Col-
lege, will speak in Chapel next Sunday

A thirteen- -year- -old Freshman has been

that they have “bummed their way” by
land or sea for at least a thousand miles;

Last year the “Sundowners” had, repre-
sentatives @t every football game the

‘Nevada team played away from home and;

despite vigilant trainmen, they promise to
repeat the performance this. semester. To
be kicked off a train is a high honor.

‘The North Dakota Aggies are applying

scientific methods to detect loafers on the |-

football squad. Each candidate, according
to one méthod, must weigh in before going
out for practice and again after coming in.
Every man is supposed to lose between
three and seven pounds in every practice,
and he should lose from five to twelve
pounds in a game. If he does not it means
that he has been’ loafing.

The Amherst expedition for skeletons,
headed by Prof. Frederick B. Loomis, to
South Dakota and Wyoming proved to he
the most successful of its kind ever con-
ducted in this country, for it returned with

the largest and finest collection ever un-’

earthed in the same length of time. The
entige trip was made by automobile and
covered a period of two months and a
half. The greater part of the specimens
dafe- from 2,500,000 years ago, at the time
of the Miocene age. The object of the

trip was to secure a skeleton of the poebro- |

therium, the ancient ancestor of the camel.
This was accomplished at the head of. In-
dian Creek in Wyoming and completed a
series of specimens in an Amherst collec-
tion. Over 200 specimens -besides the ob-
ject of the search were~ secured. ‘

At Dresden the students have acquired
army field kitchens and cook all their own
meals at a third of the usual cost.

Mills has introduced the plan of adopting
day students in the campus houses. Each
day student is given her choice of all the
houses and is then welcomed to whichever
one she chooses. All the privileges of the
house members are, extended to her,
