DESPERATE CASES CARED FOR
IN EMERGENCY HOSPITAL
The Lancaster Inn Emergency Hospital
is now ready to take care of about fifty
patients. Four trained nurses and about
thirty nurses’ aides sent by the Red Cross
are nursing the patients under the di-
rection of one resident doctor and the vol-
unteer physicians from all along the main
line. Most of the food, especially fresh
vegetables and fruit, is donated.
The cases that need hospital attention
delphia motor messengers drive the am-
bulances to the homes of the patients and
the doetors and interns move them to the

Enthusiastic For Fourth Liberty
As Cincinnatus was taken from the
plough to lead an army, Dr. Joseph Hop-
pin, Professor of Classical Archwology,
was torn from the St. David’s Golf Links
last Saturday by members of the Lib-
erty Loan Committee to speak at the Lib-
erty Loan Rally in Taylor. At two o'clock
the scheduled speaker, Lieut. Fletcher,
telephoned that he could not address the
meeting on account of the State quaran-
tine rules, so Miss Franklin, F. Day, A.
Moore, and G. Woodbury jumped into an
‘automobile and toured at a speed of forty
miles an hour to the St, David’s Golf Club
and persuaded Dr. Hoppin to tell about
his twelve days behind the front last July.
“It is not a question of whether or not
you can afford to buy a Liberty Bond, you
must save so that you can. We cannot
stop fighting until we knock into the Ger-
man skull the fact that might does not
make right,” was his challenge to his
large audience.
Dr. Hoppin went on to speak of the re-
markable work the Red Cross has done
in reclaiming territory laid waste by the
war. The French are expecting to reap
a record harvest in the Marne ‘country
and even the roads are in good condition.
At Chateau Thierry Dr. Hoppin was taken
into a house that had been recently evac-
uated by the Germans. The pictures on
the walls were torn, the matresses cut to
pieces. It looked as if it had been struck
by an earthquake, and this house was typ-
ical of all the houses in Chateau Thierry.
On the 30th of July Dr. Hoppin went to
a small town only a mile from the front.
On his way back to Paris from Chateau
Thierry he met the 26th Division coming
out of action, looking “as if they had
been through hell,” but in spite of their
condition they displayed the same cheer-
fulness that he later found in the ambu-
lance at Neuilly. One of the Americans
there who had just had his leg amputated
at the thigh, said, “There’s one satisfac-
tion, we gave ten Boches ‘his’ for each
one of our wounds.”
Dr. Hoppin read a letter written from
Haverford College and published in last
Saturday’s Public Ledger, which pro-
fessed to be “a cry of protest against the
orgy of hate in which the American press
and public indulged on receipt of peace
overtures from the enemy.” “How does
the writer of this letter account for the
German Hymn of Hate?” asked Dr.
Hoppin:—
“We love as one, we hate as one,
We have one hate, and one alone—
England.”

MENTAL TESTS FOR FRESHMEN
The Freshmen are being tested men-
tally by the Department of Education as
Public Health work. The same tests will
be applied to a group of University of
Chicago students and comparisons drawn.
Memory power, ability to follow direc-
tions, and ingenuity are tried, and indi-
vidual variations noted. Although the re-
sults of the tests cannot be absolutely ac-
curate, they may offer interesting prophe-
sies of the future Senior First Ten—and
the last.
The present Senior Class is the only
class to have been tested in this way
before.

BUYING A LIBERTY
FAITH
BOND SHOWS
IN CAUSE, SAYS
DR. FENWICK
“Win Right to Sign Peace Treaty,” He
Urges College in Morning Chapel
“Failure to support the loan does not
mean losing the war: it means that we
have not heart enough in the fight to
make sacrifices for it: it means that we
shall be reduced to taxation, a mark of
disgrace,” said Dr. Fenwick in his speech
in chapel Monday morning.
“The Liberty Loan,” Dr. Fenwick de-
clared, “is a symbol of our faith in our
cause. If you buy a bond, you are fight-
ing. Furthermore, at the end of this war
there will be a treaty of peace to be
signed—we hope the greatest treaty of
peace that has ever been made between
nations. If you buy a bond you have won
the right to be a signer of that treaty.”
1920 ELECTS M. LITTELL
M. Lindsey Acting President
Margaret Littell ’20, vice-president of
the Undergraduate Association and an
ex-editor of Tipyn o’ Bob, was elected
president of the Junior Class at a meet-
ing on Monday on the gymnasium roof.
Miss Littell, who lives in New York City,
has not yet returned to college on ac-
count of the influenza.
Martha Lindsey was elected Junior
vice-president and will run the class till
Miss Littell returns. Virginia Park was
elected secretary.
The offices of Junior president, and
vice-president of the Undergraduate Asso-
ciation, are combined for the second time,
G. Woodbury "19 having preceded M. Lit-
tell in the double honour.
DAILY NEWS WILL BE PUT UP
ON BLACKBOARD IN TAYLOR
A College News blackboard will be put
up in Taylor in the course of the next
few weeks on which news from the morn-
ing papers will be written every day be-
fore chapel. The position of the board
will probably be over the glass-enclosed
Academic bntilletin board at the side of
Room D.
The News’s aim will be to provide a
clear, concise summary of the morning’s
news to those unable to see a paper be-
fore coming to chapel. The Business
Board will co-operate with the Editorial
Board in writing the news up.

That Bond.
As the hands of the clock on the Lib-
- Loan march round the dial and near
the $25,000 quota mark, the college con-
gratulates itself. The money has been
forthcoming.
While the number of bonds pile up, it is
a striking fact that the number of sub-
scribers remains comparatively small.
Responsibility cannot stop with the ful-
filment of the quota, support from every
individual is what the government ex-
pects. The many may not hang back be-
cause a few have lent to their utmost.
Fifty dollar bonds bought by many on
the installment plan lengthen the Honor
Roll more than those of higher denomina-
tions bought by few, and every member
of the college community owes to every
other member the right to see in Taylor
the longest Honor Roll yet posted.
if You Can’t Be Sick, Don’t Kick
“You may long, long the whole day
long,” but the quarantine won’t rise for
you! If it seems to you that your ever
cheerful friends, veritable Pollyannas, do
not chafe at it, remember they do. In-
stead of speaking, however, they count
the number of cases and thank Provi-
dence that they can still spread their ac-
tivities over the campus and Montgomery
Road, while the convalescents are limited
to column left and about face in one cor-
ridor.

MISSTATEMENT CONCERNING
: _ CAROLINE STEVENS
The editors of the News wish to ex-
press their regret for a false statement
in the issue of October 2d to the effect
that Caroline Stevens ’17 had been cited
for bravery under fire. The News’ source |
of information for this article was an
American Red Cross “News Release” cir-
culated last July, appearing in the New
York Times July 28th, and mentioning a
“Miss Stephens,” who was identified by
a Bryn Mawr graduate at the Wash-
ington Red Cross Headquarters as Miss
Caroline Stevens of North Andover, Mass.
The News could not foresee that this
official identification would prove a false
one, but we wish to apologize none the
less to our readers, and above all to Miss
Stevens, for becoming a party to such a
serious mistake.

INTEREST ON OVERDUE BILLS .
SUGGESTED FOR PAY DAYS
Scheme Again Discussed
The scheme for regular pay days, rec-
ommended by the War Council and out-
lined in last week’s News, has been dis-
cussed and endorsed by representatives
of all the organizations concerned. A
charge of 2 per cent a day for overdue
bills, for the benefit of the Service Corps,
was suggested. The only change made
was making the C. A. dues of $1.50 pay-
able on November 15th instead of October
15th, to include new Freshmen members.
A mass meeting, called as soon as the
ban on meetings is lifted, will vote on the
plan. If it is accepted, the payments
scheduled for October 15th will have to
be transferred to October 25th or Novem-
ber Ist. Two assistants appointed by H.
Johnson, treasurer of the War Council, it
was agreed, might receive payments at
stated places in each hall.
HINTS OF '20’s BANNER SHOW
A new stage manager for Banner Show,
Geraldine Hess, has been elected to take
the place of A. Harrison, who has had
influenza.
Banner Show will be a “startling cab-
aret,” not a vaudeville as was first de-
cided, says Miss Hess. There will be
tables and dancing in quite the Midnight
Frolics fashion. 1920’s best entertainers
will be present as Blanche Bates, Bert
Williams and the Ran Tan Dancers.
Some of the successful choruses of the
Minstrel Show will appear in new and in-
teresting numbers. The date, scheduled
some time in November, has not yet been
definitely assigned by the office.
Shop Through the “News”
Room furnishings and purchases of all
kinds may be made during the quarantine
through the College News, which will act
as representative of the personal service
department of Wanamaker’s and send in
orders daily. A commission of 10 per
cent will be charged on all purchases.
F. Clarke, Rockefeller, will post a list
on her door on which orders may be writ-
ten. Miss Clarke has on hand samples
of chintz and creton suitable for dra-
peries.

that he intended to answer the Haverford
letter.
Dr. Hoppin was chairman of the Red
Cross in Pomfret, Connecticut, and was
for that reason sent over under the Red
Cross to get information for lectures in
America.
CENTER SUPPLIES FOOD
Food is being sent out to influenza pa-
tients by the Community Center diet
kitchen on the recommendation of nurses,
doctors, the Red Cross or the Federation
of Churches. A paid cook has been en-
gaged at the Center and all other work
there temporarily suspended.
Soup, gruel, a fever diet and a regular
diet are among those prepared. The food
is delivered by Philadelphia Motor Mes-
sengers in improvised fireless cookers.

STIRRING AND MODERN
WEDNESDAY EVENING PROGRAM
A war time minister, Dr. Charles Wood,
of the Church of the Covenant in Wash-
ington, is speaking to the college for six
successive Wednesday evenings on “The
Bible and Its Significance Today,” an ap-
proach to Bible Study for 1918. “Men in
uniform seldom miss the chance of hear-
ing Dr. Wood while they are in Washing-
ton. His sermons are meant especially to
meet the needs of men in the service,”
says M. Thurman, chairman of the Bible
and Mission Study Committee.
Dr. Wood’s topics for the coming weeks
are: The God of the Bible; The Final
Goal for Humanity as Seen in the Bible;
The Place of Christ in the Bible and in
the Modern World; Light from the Bible
on Aims That End in Self or Endless
Aims; The Christianity of Biblical Times
and of Today.
Dr. Wood spoke yesterday on “Bible
Study for Busy People.”
The Church of the Covenant is sup-
ported in its widespread war activities by
Dr. Wood's private resources.
ate the power of putting students on pro- ;
bation. Cut cards kept by the students
will be collected every two weeks and
compared monthly with the college rec-
ords. '
The maximum number of “legitimate”
cuts for a semester is eight, according to
M. Martin, president of the Undergrad-
uate Association. In addition to this,
students who are sick in the halls and
thus cannot get an infirmary excuse may
take six illness cuts. Any cuts in excess
of these will be investigated by the Un-
dergraduate Cut Committee.
The regulations passed by the Senate
following a conference of the faculty and
the Undergraduate ow Commit-
tee are:
1. The Undergraduate Association shall
have power to warn students for exces-
sive cutting and if necessary put them on
probation therefor. When put on proba-
tion by the Undergraduate Association
the students will be compelled to explain
every cut to the Undergraduate Cut Com-
mittee. If, in the judgment of that com-
mittee, this discipline is not sufficient the
committee shall have power to report the
student to the Senate and recommend to
the Senate the punishment to be inflicted
upon her.
2. It is understood that in granting this
power to the Undergraduate Association
the Senate does not waive the right to
take the initiative in disciplining any stu-
dent for excessive cutting if in its judg-
ment the Undergraduate Committee has
been too lenient.
3. As to the records of cutting, it is
recommended that the Students’ Commit-
tee shall every month confer with Dean
Taft and compare their records with the
college records, and that all discrepancies
shall be investigated, and in this way the
college records shall be made as accurate
as possible. With this in view the prop-
erly constituted officials of the Under-
graduate Association shall be permitted
at any reasonable time to see the cards
on which the professors record the ab
sences of students. After the college rec-
ords have been submitted to such exami-
nation and possible correction it is rec-
ommended that they be made the basis of
disciplinary action rather than the rec-
ords of the Undergraduate Association.
COURAGE NEEDED ON THE CAMPUS
AS WELL AS IN THE TRENCHES
Says M. Carey ’20 at Vespers
“I want to suggest to you and to my-
Self that courage, if we can only see it
and make it the rule of our lives, is going
to be the solution of our problems,” said
Millicent Carey '20 in her Vespers talk
last Sunday.
The courage to come out faithfully for
exercise, although one may not enjoy it;
the courage to “live up to one’s convic-
tions” and be thorough in one studies;
and the courage to strive for high spir-
itual ideals—these three kinds of courage
are needed, she said, to make one “worth
fighting for.”

Music Committee Will Present Plan at
Undergrad Meeting
A new plan for the financing of con-
certs will be presented by the Music Com-
mittee of the Undergraduate Association
at the next meeting of the Association,
should the concerts not be discontinued

ing to pledge toward the concerts, and to
limit expenditures accordingly, Members

benefit of some war charity.
On the list of possible performers
drawn up by I. Arnold ’20, chairman, are:
Mme. Marie Sundelius, soprano, of the
Metropolitan Opera Company; Mme, Mi-
nerva Komenarski, contralto; Mrs. Laura

The Reckoning That Other Men Have
Paid
Might I choose between the making of a
sorely needed shell
And painting some great masterpiece of
art,
I'd rather work at Woolwich—and I'd try
to do it well.
That seems to be by far the finer part.
For the time has come for doing, and it’s
better nowadays
To die unknown, unhonored, undismayed,
Than to live in selfish comfort, just a
man who hip-hurrays
The reckoning that other men have paid.

Success Due to Team Work
Dr. Rea attributes the success with
which the college epidemic has been han-
dled to the team work of the regular staff
and volunteers. She praised warmly the
untiring work of Miss Hawkins, warden
of Merion and acting warden of Denbigh,
Mrs. Voorhees of Rockefeller, and Miss
Windle of Radnor.
Mrs. Ladd Volunteer Aide
Mrs, Ladd, a trustee of the college and
mother of M. Ladd ’21, has given her

of the convalescent ward of the fourth
floor of Merion.

verse with their friends through a germ-

DR. FENWICK TAKES CURRENT
EVENTS CLASS
Dr. Fenwick, Professor of Politics, has
announced that he will give Thursday
evening lectures on current events. For
the last two years a current events
course has been given by Dr. Gray, who
is now on leave of absence in London.
Dr. Fenwick’s offer to give the course
was accepted enthusiastically last Friday,
when a rising vote was taken in the
dining-rooms.
The lectures will be in the Chapel at
7.80.
SENIORS UNWEPT, UNSUNG
Denied the preliminary excitement of
“oral singing” on account of the quaran-
tine, the Seniors went into their French
examination last Saturday with apparent
sang froid.
If possible, there will be singing to-
morrow, either in Pembroke Hast or out
of doors.

without news, without means, for more
than a year. Several have had either to
abandon their studies or take a position
on the side. Work is often very difficult
to procure in a foreign city. We have
been able to organize at the Foyer an em-
ployment bureau to bring together posi-
tion and applicant.
“Our Foyer has been transformed into
a regular sewing room. Others have
taken up agriculture, and one, clock
making.
“Miss Grant: must have described to
you the old Foyer on the Boulevard
des Philosophes. But beginning the first
of October we are going to inaugurate a
charming old house with a garden. Fif-
teen or sixteen students can live there,
each occupying an attractive little room.
Living conditions are so hard that we
hope by this little community attempt to
create a more harmonious life.
“We shall always be glad to have news
of our companions of the United States.
Last winter we studied the life of stu-
dents in different countries. We love—
we Swiss students—to transport our-
selves into your country, to which we feel
ourselves drawn by our traditions of de-
mocracy.”
The Foyer is supported by the World’s
Student Christian Federation, which has
been called the only international organi-
zation which has survived the war. Bryn
Mawr, although not officially connected
with the World Federation, contributes
every year to the support of the Geneva
Foyer through the C. A. Federation Com-
mittee.
MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TIME,
URGES BISHOP RHINELANDER
“Redeem”—i. e. “buy up,” “make the
most of”’—the time, because the days are
evil,” was the appeal of Bishop Rhine-
lander in his sermon in chapel Sunday
night. Dr. Rhinelander took his text from
the Epistle for the Day—the fifth chapter
of Ephesians.
Prayer is one of the chief means of
turning one’s time to profit, said Dr.
Rhinelander. Not the prayer of petition
but the prayer of fellowship, which
reaches up and has real communion with
God. Thought is a second means.
Thought, Dr. Rhinelander emphasized, is
not the amassing of facts about religion
but real meditation, which leads to an
understanding of the divine will. Lastly,
one can redeem the time by witnessing
to God—not by attempting to do God’s
work without Him, but by working with
Him.
Silence After Recessional
A moment of silent prayer, such as fol-
lowed the recessional last Sunday night,
will be observed as a regular part of the
chapel service. At the end of the last
hymn the congregation will sit down and
remain seated until the choir sings an
Amen.
