VARSITY AGAIN DEFEATS
BASKETBALL OPPONENTS

Sweetbriar Proves Most Able Op-
ponent Bryn Mawr Has Met,
-This Year

REMAK SCORES FIFTEEN GOALS

Confronted by Sweetbrier, the best bisa
ketball team which has opposed it thi8 year,
Varsity won another victory last Saturday
afternoon, with a score of 36-26.

The Bryn Mawr team played’ a
quicker game, and their passing was=much
more accurate than. last week; all the
players showed a decided improvement.
Though - F. Martin’s opponent could out-
jump her at center, she &’nd. M, Palache

“maintained their usual. rapid. run. of
passes in the face of skillful and deter-
mined opposition. C. Remak,,’25, and’ H.
Rice, ’23, worked well together, passing
intelligently and keeping. the ball in their
territory.’ The ball once in Remak’s
hands, it was almost impossible to prevent
her from scoring. The guards: had—the
hardest positions to ‘fill, for Sweetbriar’s
forwards were extraordinarily ‘good, and
their shooting from a great distance as ac-

SENIORS SUBMERGE LIGHT —
BLUE IN FIRST OF FINALS

Ward and Rice Make Invincible
Team at Long, Hard Shooting







tar





Playing to a—man_as_if- inspired, the
Seniors _ overwhelmingly defeated
with a score of 13-1 in the first game of the
foals Monday afternoon.

The team, a solid afd infallible unit in
the pool, totally eclipsed the efforts of their
opponents, and each individual play tran-
scended, the. preceding«ane in its lightning
quickness and accuracy. 1924 was slow
and confused. They passed as a rule into
the very arms of the’ enemy. The for-
wards ‘scarcely ever escaped their guards,
their shooting was weak and _ erratic.
Though the long low passes of H. Rice
and J. Ward, ’23, were most difficult to
stop, they were left unguarded too often.
F. Martin surpassed even herself in the
goal, and V. Corse.and F. Mattison inter-
cepted evefy play that escaped H. Rice.
A. Smith and D..Meserve with great spirit
and almost as much skill ‘peppered - K.
VanBibber with shots, and drawing upon
themselves the attention of the Blue de-
fense, who left Rice and Ward free to
make one beautiful shot after another.

Line-up for Monday:

1923—J. Ward******,
Smith*,
son, F. Martin.

1924—E. Tuttle, F. Begg, M. Smith*, M.
Faries, E. Howe, M. Angell, K. VanBibber.
Green Wins Second Preliminary

- Fighting. with great determination *and
spirip, but overpowered by the superior tac-
tics of their opponents, 1925’s first team
went down to defeat at the hands of ‘the
Seniots, who won the final game of the
preliminary match by a score of =i last
Thursday night.

The Red guards worked hard, endeavor-
ing to block the Senior passes, but could
not stop the swift onrush. H. Rice’s long
shots to D. Meserve, who shot the ball
into the goal, proved’ most effective, and the
team play between: them was impossible ‘to
h reak up, .ext half the Soph- |

oy omores put a terrific amount of~ energy. |

Dr. Carpenter ‘Explains ‘Importance
of Heretic Pharaoh’s Reign



Speaking in Chapel on Monday morning.

on Lord Carnavon’s discoveries at Luxot,
Dr. Rhys Carpenter, Professor of Arche-
ology, strongly emphasized the significance
of Tutenkhamon’s reign and’ the probable
light which the paintings’ and-other records
in the tomb would throw on Egyptian his-
tory... Dr. ‘Carpenter’s speech was as
follows:

Tutenkhamon was the last of the heretics
and was himself an enforced-renegade back
to orthodoxy. His father-in-law, Akhna-
ton, has often beey considered the most
remarkable figure ‘in’ Egyptian history.
Coming to the throne of, a vast empire
which stretched from the .Sudan to the
Euphrates, he deliberately renounced im-
perialism, militarism, the traditional polit-
ical life of a Pharaoh, and the state relig-
ion of.his predecessors. He turned away
from the great city of Thebes to build for
himself and his court a new city all their
own, and there he retired to enjoy and
encourage art, to devote himself to his
family, and most of all.to spread his
heretic faith in a One Eternal God, mani-
fest to man as the disk of the sun, the
‘source of life. "Fhe new faithgewas car-
ried as far as Palestine and there may
have vitally and permanently affected the
Jewish religion. But in Egypt it had no
career and barely outlived its ardent and
youthful expounder, the king Akhnaton.

+Tutenkhamon was the last to uphold it,

and he found it wise to change his name

H. Rice*****, V. Corse, F. Mattie’ from Tutenkhaton to Tutenkhamon as

public proof that he had turned away
from the worship of the sundisk (Aton)
to the traditional rites of Amon. He also
/seems to have changed his royal residence
and -moved back to “Thebes,
brand new city of heresy to moulder and
be forgotten.

The hope of learning more about this

extraordinary religious moyement in which.

heresy’ was so soon followed by apostasy,
is one of the sources of especial interest
in the newly found tomb.

Tutenkhamon belongs to the XVIIIth .
Dynasty and must -have died’ shortly be-.

fore 1350 B. C. Im those days the Phar“
aohs had given up the practice of having
themselves ‘buried in the heart of huge
stone pyramids and instead were laid away
‘in rooms~cut deep in the cliffs-of the- Nile-

BRYN MAWR ASKED TO HELP
RESTORE LOUVAIN LIBRARY



Drive for Funds to be ‘Held Next
Monday in Taylor



(Specially Contributed by F--Martin, ’23;
President of the Undergraduate

- Association)



To help rebuild a library which has con-
tributed immensely to past scholarship, and
which, with our assistance, may be
for the advancement of future
scholars, should appeal to us~as college
students. An appeal for the support of
this project, the rebuilding of the Louvain
Library, destroyed by the Germans in 1914,
has been made to, the colleges, universities,
preparatory: and public schools of “America,
as representing the-scholastic world of this
country. What could be more appropriate
than our joining to give to fellow students
an inspiration for intellectual work as
well as a much-needed place in which to
lodge the books, many of them ‘priceless,
which for lack of a library are lying about,
stored in.dusty crates and boxes?

rc

Next Monday, February 26, there will
be a drive under the chairmanship of C.
Remak, ’25, to raise money for our con-
tribution toward the _ restoration of the
library. The faculty have already contrib-
uted $65. This year it has: been the-aim
of both the Christian and Undergraduate
Associations to’ make as’ few financial de-
mands as possible upon the student body.
It is hoped by having fewer drives that
those which ‘are organized will be more
profitable for the interests involved.

STUDENT CURRICULUM BOARD.
MEETING TWO-HOURS DAILY

More’ time for individual ‘work, written
and oral reports,
schedule are suggested in most of the rec-
ommendations handed in .to the student
curriculum Committee, which lias been
meeting on an average of two hours a day
since it was formed after Midyears.

_Protests against scheduled quizzes have
been abundant, while frequent drop quizzes
were advocated, according to F. Martin,
"28, chairmar of the committee. Elasticity
of the schedule by having classes in elective





subjects. at eight o’clock, and from two to
four, is another- matter under considera-



and elasticity of the’

At nine o'clock the dancers gathered
