4, PEYTON SOPHOMORE PRESIDENT

Julia Peyton has been elected presi-
dent, Katharine Walker vice-president,
and Elizabeth Mills, secretary, of the
Sophomore Class.

Miss Peyton served on the Self-Govern-
ment Advisory Board last year, and is a
member of the Red Cross Department of
the War Council. Her home is in Charles-
town, West Virginia.

Cheers from the open-air meeting on
the gym roof told the new president of
her office. She was watching from the
fire-escape off the Merion ward, where
she was convalescing from influenza.

EVEN CLASSES IWIN TENNIS
SINGLES FINALS

Juniors and Freshmen drew first blood
in the annual struggle for the all-around
athletic championship last week when
they took the first and second tennis
team finals from 1921. Steady, rather
than brilliant playing, characterized all
the matches, which netted 1920 fifteen
and 1922 ten points.

The scores were:

Z. Boynton °20 vs. H. James '21, 8-6, 6-3.

M. Carey "20 vs. K. Walker ‘21, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2.

M. Dent '20 vs. W. Walter '21, 2-6, 4-6.
Second team:

V. Bvans ‘21 vs. J. Palache ‘22, 2-4, 6-8.

D. McBride "21 vs. O. Howard '22, 3-6, 2-6.

J. Spurney '21 vs. A. Fountain '22, 8-4, 6-3.



FACULTY HIT BY EPIDEMIC

Among those who have fallen victims
of the common enemy, influenza, have
been Dean Taft, Dr. William Roy Smith,
Miss Kingsbury, Dr. Patch, and Miss
Dunn.

Dr. Smith’s history classes have been
conducted in his absence by Mrs, Smith,
and Miss Angie Kellogg has taken over
most of Miss Kingsbury’s academic work.
Dr. Patch’s English classes have been
meeting with Dr. Chew’s, and Miss
Dunn’s first year composition class has
had to be content with only their division
meetings.

COLLEGE WELL ISOLATED
Three Outside Speakers Fail to Come
CONSCRIPTION HELD UP

Quarantine Supreme

The college has been violently’ cut off
from all infusions of outside life by the
influenza epidemic. Quarantine regula-
tions exclude outsiders from the halls
and forbid meetings except Sunday night
chapel. All college activities are prac-
tically at a standstill.

Three speakers have been prevented
from coming because of the epidemic.
Dr. Wise, who was to have preached last
Sunday, was detained in New York on
account of his wife’s illness. Dr. Wood’s
Bible classes have had to be postponed
because Dr. Wood is helping to fight
the influenza in Washington. Professor
Baldensperger will not be able to speak
next Saturday evening on account of the
quarantine. Even vespers, which was to
have been in the cloisters, had to be given
up last Sunday on account of rain. All
Varsity hockey games with the cricket
clubs have been indefinitely postponed.

Lack of Work Prevents Conscription

Conscription is held up because there
is’ no sort of work available. The Com-
munity Centre is closed. No garments
can be procured for sewing and mending.
Students are not allowed to enter any
building off campus, hence no Red Cross
work can be done. Volunteers are needed
by Miss Kingsbury for clerical work, but
owing to her illness work cannot yet be
assigned.

TENNIS DOUBLES BETWEEN ’20
AND ’21

1920 and 1921 emerged triumphant
from the tennis doubles preliminaries
played Monday and Tuesday of this
week. The Seniors went down before the
Sophomores and the Juniors outplayed
the Freshmen.

The sores were:

A. Thorndike ‘19 and M. Tyler ‘19 vs.
H. James '21 and K. Walker ’21, 4-6, 3-6.

R. Chadbourne '19 and A. Stiles ’19 vs. D.
Walter ’21 and B. Schurman ’21, 6-2,
1-6, 6-3.

G. Hearne ‘19 and B. Hurlock ‘19 vs. C.
Bolton-'21 and D. McBride ’21, 2-6, 2-6.
D. Smith '20 and M. R. Brown '20 vs. D.

Dessau ’22 and A. Fountain '22, 6-2, 6-3.
Z. Boynton '20 and M. Dent '20 vs. K.

Gardner '22 and J. Palache '22, 3-6, 1-6.
M. Cerey °20 and K. Cauldwell '20 vs. P.

Smith '22 and M. Tyler '22, 6-1, 6-1.

Who Wants a Filleul?

Anyone who wants to write to a French
or a Belgian soldier can procure a name
by applying to J. Peabody "19, Pembroke
West.





LIMP: THE VERSE OF,
THE VERSE_ OF

DR. SPURGEON OF LONDON LECTURES TO
CROWDED CHAPEL



British War Poetry was the subject of |.

a mid-morning lecture in Taylor last Mon-
day by Dr. Caroline Spurgeon, Professor
of English at the University of London.

“When I go into a bookshop and see the
numberless liftle slim volumes of verse
by soldiers and sailors I feel very proud,”
Miss Spurgeon declared. The intensity
of feeling which the war has wrought
finds its natural expression in verse,
hence it is not surprising that those that
have the latent capacity burst into song.

Bits of the more representative verse
which the war has called forth were read
by Miss Spurgeon from a number of au-
thors, some of whom have not yet found
their way to America.

As typical of the intense pride in Eng-
land’s past, she cited the War Poems of
R. C. Vernéde, one of the few of Eng-
land’s soldier poets who is not young.
Over forty when the war broke out, Ver-
néde enlisted as a private and fought in
Flanders until he was killed in April,
1917. _ Vernéde expresses a conception al-
most universal in England in the first
years of the war, Miss Spurgeon said.
His attitude is that all sacrifices on the
part of the soldiers are made gladly in
order to save their children from ever
having to face anything so appalling as
they have had to face:—

“Then to our children there shall be no

handing

Of fates so vain, of passions so ab-
horred.

But Peace the Peace which

passeth understanding—
Not in our time but in their
time, O Lord.”

Love of English country is another
characteristic of a great deal of war
poetry, Miss Spurgeon noted. Robert
Nichols, in his Ardours and Endurances,
has a remarkable series portraying the
experiences of the young soldier from the
moment he decides to leave home,
through his first battle, and up to his
gradual recovery of nerve power after it.
There is an intense visualizing of the
sights, the sounds, and the smells of Eng-
lish country, Miss Spurgeon said, and at
the same time the realization that none
of its beauties can be enjoyed by those
who are not worthy of them.

VOLUNTARY INFORMATION TESTS
WILL AGAIN BE GIVEN Sa

PRESIDENT THOMAS OFFERS PRIZES OF $100,
$50 AND $25 *

Voluntary General Information Tests,
with prizes of $100, $50, and $25, offered
by President Thomas, are to be given
again this year. The faculty committee
will be appointed shortly and it is hoped
that the tests may be given early enough
in this semester to avoid conflict with ex-
aminations. Last year’s committee was
Dr. Gray, chairman, now abroad on gov-
ernment work, Miss Donnelly, and Miss
Kingsbury.

M. Timpson ‘18, last year’s European
Fellow, won the prize for the best
paper. The second prize went to F. Day
19, winner of the Brooke Hall Memorial
Scholarship for the highest average of
her class, and the third to V. Frazier ex-
18. Eight out of forty candidates an-
swered fifty per cent of the questions co
rectly. é

INFLUENZA HOSPITAL GETS OUT-
DOOR WARD AND DiET PANTRY

Manned by Large and Efficient Staff

IS CARING FOR SEVENTY, PATIENTS

An outdoor ward with twenty beds was
opened last week at the Emergency Hos-
pital, for serious pneumonia cases, Heavy
wiring over the pipes, and fly-netting have
been put up as a protection to delirious
patients.

A second diet kitchen has been added
on the second floor.

The medical office is under the super-
vision of an administration committee of
the Main Line Medical Society, of which
Dr. Branson is president. Mrs. Tenney
Frank is the medical secretary.

The Volunteer Department is run by
the Bryn Mawr Community Center. Hilda
Smith "10 and Mary Peirce 12 are secre-
taries in the office.

The spare rooms in the garage across
the street from the hospital, away from
the noise and cries of the patients, are
the sleeping quarters for the night nurses.
Mrs. W. H. Weimer (G. R. Ford ex-’97),
Mary Converse 98, Helen Hansell ex-'20,
are nursing in the hospital.

Grace Albert '97, Mrs. Samuel Chew
and her sister, Miss Lucy Marshal, Ger-
trude Mason, Fellow in English 1887-1888,
Miss Rhoads, daughter of the former pres-
ident of the college, and H. J. Robins ’04

TIME WAS WHEN——.

“Yon balmy days,” how far away they
seem—when we of the older generation
were Freshmen. We spent hours listen-
ing to the constitutions and 57 varieties
of by-laws of all four associations. When
we were not at meetings we were eating,
feeding “our C. A. girls” at the tea house,
being fed by our fond Juniors and if not
fond, certainly dutiful, Sophomores. We
lived on the fat of the land at eleven
o'clock at night. We feasted on mocking-
bird’s eyebrows and marrons at Presi-
dent Thomas’s reception, spent hours
waiting for our turn at the flower shop
in order to send a bouquet to our favorite
Junior in Banner,Show—and in between
times we studied.

Times have changed. A Bryn Mawr
princess now leads a protected, healthful
and academic life. She rises early for
physical development, she attends-_lec-
tures regularly. Immediately after lunch
she hastens either to the library to bury
herself in Cicero’s correspondence or to
the laboratory to trace the life history of
the amoeba protozoa. Later, she plays
hockey, dines on healthful war food, and
after a long evening of concentrated
study she retires when Taylor tolls the
knell of parting day.







In passing we wish to say that the
News board approves of the suggestion
of one of the Seniors—that those not
passing their German writtens wear an
iron cross.



it’s the Little Things

It is fruitless to battle against organi-
zation. For it is through the means of
this powerful machine that we attain the
wholly desirable end—efficiency—in the
best sense of the word. There are, how-
ever, many small details of life that
it seems totally impossible to govern
through any organization. It is to aid in
overcoming these hazards in the course
of complete efficiency that we have drawn
up several resourceful suggestions for
saving time and effort.

First, there is the daily business of tak-
ing notes. Never take time to remove a
large welling blot. It has lately been dis-
covered to be one of the most profitable
by-products of the fountain pen. Use it
to refill your pen; it does away with un-
necessary movements of the right hand.

Next, the popular plan of carrying soap,
toothbrushes and paste in a wire sieve is
worthy of imitation.

Another wise saw advanced among food
conserving experts is, “Eat more” corn-
meal, oatmeal, and barley meal, and eat
fewer real meals, breakfast, luncheon and
dinner.

As a final word: Do not bother to read
the daily news, for, as an observing
Sophomore said, “What's the use, the
news changes every day anyway.”



Hal! Libraries in Hands of Strategists
Napoleonic strategy has had a wide-
spread influence in history. The princi-
pal manoeuvre is to send an insignificant
part of the fighters against the enemy at
the most obvious point, while the
strength of the army is being rushed
around by a secret passage for a surprise

“The Spirit of the Revolution,” “Paris in f

| of “The Child of the Revolution,” while the.
mighty soldier himself has rushed around
ON Ladhuttsasp passage for a surprise attack

between “Theories of Value” and Lyly’s

If anyone have mighty ambitions of be-
coming a crafty general, we beseech her

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
(The editors do not hold themselves
responsible for opinions expressed in this
column.)

To the Editor of the College News:

One of our biggest problems this year
is how to pass the traditions of Self-Gov-
ernment on to the Freshman Class. Since
the quarantine has prevented our having
the annual meeting in the “first fort-
night,” the responsibility of instilling into
the incoming class our spirit toward Self-
Government is left entirely with the Up-
perclassmen and Sophomores. Unless
every one of us realizes our personal re-
sponsibility it will be impossible to main-
tain the high ideals for which our organi-
zation has always stood. After all it is
our own organiaztion and its future rests
with us.

Sarah C. Taylor ’19,

President of Self-Government.

To the Editor of the College News:

In the cheerful hope of relaxation in
the War Council last
Monday made further recommendations
to a mass-meeting-to-be. Owing to the
form of the motion made last winter, in
which the Service Corps project was ac-
cepted for the year only, it is necessary
this year to vote again on the main war
object of the college. Our obligations to
the organizations under whom our work-
ers are serving overseas, and to the work-
ers themselves, need no discussion.

The War Council has decided to recom-
mend, as the method of raising Service
Corps funds in college, a quota system of
$8500 for the first semester, described in
detail on the same page of this issue of
the News. The system of assigning a
given sum to be raised by a given class
in a given time was felt to have stood
the test of previous usage, and to place
the project on a thoroughly business-like
basis.

In dividing the sum to be raised into
class allotments, the question of the
amount of the per capita pledge arose.
While the quota may, by a good mathe-
matician, be resolved into an individual
allotment of $16 for the first semester,
the feeling of the War Council is directly
opposed to pressure on the individual for
a given sum. Those who are able will
probably give more than $16, those who
are not are perfectly justified in giving
less. If it is proved that the balance can-
not be maintained in this way, it is up to
us all as a body to work our hardest to
make up the deficit. We can do no more.

The importance of- our financial cam-
paign for this year, and of the intelligent
vote on it demands the attention of all.
It is not too much to say that the purpose
of every individual in college in regard
to campaigns for war relief is the same.
If there are differences in opinion as to
the means to attain the end, it is the re-
sponsibility of everyone in college to find
out the actual facts of the case, through
News statements, or by talking to War
Counell members, cast a vote about which
they have really thought, and then abide
by the decision of the majority.

Gordon Woodbury ‘19,
Charman of the War Council.



ey cauucsitia, Woiks eae te be tained

jin. Anyone who has ever struggled with

a difficult German sentence will realize
that it is, to say the least, disconcerting

to be forced in the midst of it to listen to

the technical explanation of a new quiz
book system. And that is precisely what

happened to the Seniors last week.

There has been a good deal of indigna-
tion over the ill-chosen way in which the
explanation was made, and many stu-
dents feel that their chances of passing
were materially lessened by the persistent
interruptions. Aside from the ordinary
strain and discomfort of a Senior Written
a distinct and irritating disturbance was
unnecessarily created.

May the remaining three examinations
be conducted in all possible peace and
tranquillity!

SECOND BRITISH SCHOLAR ARRIVES
IN BRYN MAWR —



Crossed on Boat with Ex-Ambassador
Page

A second British scholar has arrived in
Bryn Mawr from Scotland, Miss Grace
Dedman, M.A. Edinburgh University, with
Honours in English.

Miss Dedman was delayed in securing
passage and it was feared she might not
be able to get here. For the present she
is living in Denbigh. The other British
scholar, Miss Helen Wilkie, arrived at
the first of the year. She and Miss Ded-
man were classmates at the University
of Edinburgh.

Tells of Ocean Passage
Miss Dedman crossed on the boat with
Dr. Page, recent American Ambassador to
England. The passage as it is now made,

-according to both Miss Dedman and Miss

Wilkie, is about one thousand miles
longer, because the vessels tack, turning
at unexpected intervals in order to run
out of the range of any U-boat aim. The
boats are camouflaged, as are all ocean
liners.

The régime on shipboard is strictly
military, with bugles for rising, bugles
for dressing and eating and special bugle
calls for life-drill. Four soldiers assigned
to every boat assisted first women with
children, then all other women, and last
the men, to enter the lifeboats as quickly
as possible. One boat, Miss Dedman said,
carried twenty children, American or Ca-
nadian, born in England after 1914, whose
fathers had been killed or else were in
action.

Machine Guns Train on Iceberg

The passengers were always under the
command of the officers, who ordered
them to wear their life-belts at all times,
except during meals. The boat passed
two transports—one bringing English
soldiers from France and another carry-
ing American soldiers overseas.

“Our machine guns took aim and prac-
ticed fire on a large iceberg some three
miles distant. We could see the chips
sliding off,” said Miss Wilkie. The pas-
sage was particularly safe because of the
high sea, in which no U-boat can live.



Seeing America First

Shut off from the outside world, two
members of 1920 are determined to have
“every experience a woman can have” on
the campus. L. Sloane and M. Porritt are
making a tour of the campus, dining at a
different table in one of the five halls
every evening.

rt wale aclinied the War teanall GIGI

Monday night. After a careful discussion
the lower sum was accepted, and will be
submitted to the vote of the college at a

February and May. The feeling of the
War Council seemed to be that the cok
lege should on no account relax its
money-raising efforts, but that, since the
semester is already well advanced and no
rallies or metings can be held for some
time ahead, it is better to set the college’s
quota at the lower figure. |

The Alumnez are becoming more and
more enthusiastic about the Service
Corps, .Miss Martha Thomas reported.
The Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., and other
organizations have shown that they will
accept any woman the Service Corps
Committee recommends. Miss Marion
Reilly, chairman of the Service Corps
Committee, has recently been made chair-
man of the personnel department of the
Y. M. C. A. for this district, and has
charge of the selection of Y. M. C. A.
canteen workers.

Extra Members of War Council
Committee

Various committee members besides
those elected by the four classes were
approved. Members on the Liberty Loan
Department are Mr. Hurst, Comptroller
of the College, Mrs. Chandler, and Miss
Goldstein and Miss Babcock, graduate
students.

Dean Maddison is an honorary member
of the Educational Department and the
presidents of the clubs and chairmen of
the Religious Meetings and Social Serv-
ice Committees will constitute an ad-
visory committee.

The regular members of the depart-
ment have not yet been elected by the
classes. By a new scheme each class will
be asked to send a representative to fill a
specific office on the committee in ques-
tion. The plan for the offices the differ-
ent classes will fill is:

Liberty Loan Department

1920—Publicity.
1921—Thrift campaigns.
1922—-Secretary.

WHY TURN BACK THE CLOCKS?
Many Would “Save Daylight’? All
TIME TO BE CHANGED SUNDAY

Sunday night, October 27th, is the time
for setting back the clocks, thus bringing
to an end What the Literary Digest calls
our first experiment in saving daylight.
Although it is impossible fo estimate the
amount of fuel saved during the seven
months of extra daylight, there is a wide-
spread conviction that the measure has
been a success,

Indeed, “the suggestion has been made
by some enthusiasts,” says The Electric
Railway Journal, “that the plan should be
continued throughout the year. They
believe that people are now so accus-
tomed to rising an hour earlier than they
otherwise would that they would continue
cheerfully to do so during the winter.

‘Would Have to “Get up at Night”

“These advocates however, overlook
the fact that such a plan would require
most people to get up a considerable
time before sunrise. They would thus
have to use artificial light in the morning
instead of in the evening, so that there
would be no saving. Moreover such a
measure would be very unpopular, be-
cause while most people do not object to
sitting up in the evening with artificial
light they do object to being obliged to
use it after rising in the morning. . . .”

Another “psychological point” which
the same article mentions is that if peo-
ple used artificial light in the morning
they would waste a great deal by forget-
ting to turn it off until some time after
it had become daylight.

GET THE CROPS IN!

Farm workers are badly needed, every
afternoon and all day Saturday. C. Col-
man ’20, who is managing the farm dur-
ing Miss Dimon’s absence, says the au-
tumn work will be finished by the end of
the month, provided enough labourers
turn out.

Sixty Volunteers Saturday

The corn-husking was finished Satur-
day by volunteers, twenty working in the
morning, and sixty in the afternoon.
Most of last week’s laborers were sup-
plied by those who had registered farmt-
ing as their choice for conscripted work.
In the absence of the coercive machinery
of conscription, which has not yet started,
they responded readily as volunteers. A
considerable share of the work has been
done by the graduates.

Vegetables Supplied to Halls

The vegetable supply of the halls is
bought largely from the farm, at regular
wholesale rates. Orders are given each
morning by Miss Crawford, the Junior
Bursar, to Mr. Woodward, the farmer,
and filled in the afternoon. The tomatoes
are picked then, and the carrots or tur-
nips dug, that are served next day at
table.

This week vegetables are being dug up
and cut, to be buried in pits on the col-
lege grounds, in store for the winter.

MAJOR CECIL ORIGINATES TOXINE

Major Russel L. Cecil, brother of E.
Cecil ‘21, has discovered a new pneu-
monia vaccine. The commission from
the Department of the Surgeon General
of the U. S. Army brought a complete
laboratory in a Pullman to Camp Wheeler,
where 6000 of the 9000 men have already
been inoculated under Major Cecil's su-

pervision.

ARMY WANTS MORE BOOKS



More books are needed for sdldiers’
reading, says the Literary Digest. $3,500
must be raised for the American Library
Association out of the approaching Wel-
fare Drive. The “average man” has
given books generously, but mostly of
fiction and not the new educational books
also wanted by the soldiers.

“For instance,” writes Frank Stock-
bridge, ‘National Director of Information,
Library War Fund, “the chemistry of
high explosives is a subject on which we
cannot get books from the average man’s
book-shelves. Neither do they yield books
to meet such demands as that from a
Greek soldier, who wanted a book to help
him teach an Italian soldier how to read
English.”

vorites compiled from reports from

VASSAR MAY HAVE CONSCRIPTION
HAS BEEN CORRESPONDING WITH BRYN MAWR
WAR COUNCIL

At Vassar a mass meeting has been
called to consider conscription “as a
means for obtaining the most effective
war work this year.” Until now Bryn
Mawr has been the only one of the East-
erm women’s colleges to have its war
work on a conscription basis. Vassar
corresponded with executives of the
Bryn Mawr War Council on the subject
during the summer.

Last year all registration for war work
at Vassar was voluntary, and the main-
tenance of the work depended on the in-
dividual.

The only two war activities constantly
in progress are Red Cross work and the
work of the Collegiate Periodical League,
according to the Vassar Miscellany News.
Intermittent forms of work are farming
and work on the grounds. Freshmen will
not be permitted to do any regular war
work the first-semester, but will be asked
to cut the grass and do such volunteer
work as does not require regular hours.



CHAPEL ORGAN TO BE MOVED
AND MENDED BY DECEMBER



Choir Seats May Change Position

The chapel organ will be repaired and
placed in a new position for the 1918-19
choir, which will be chosen after the
quarantine. The armature of the electric
motor, by which the organ is pumped, is
worn out and will have to be replaced. It
is hoped that this can be done by Decem-
ber. The organ will then be moved far-
ther back in the chapel on the same side.

For the present, the organ is not being
used at morning chapel and is being
blown by hand for the Sunday evening
service, usually by a good-natured Senior.
A piano was suggested for the chapel un-
til the organ was mended, but the propo-
sition was rejected on account of the ex-
pense.

By the new arrangement the choir will
probably sit in the seats now occupied by
the graduate students. It is-hoped that
the singing may be led more easily from
this position.

It is a far cry from the organ of today
to the musical methods used in morning
chapel a number of years ago. The choir
occupied the first row of the Senior seats,
and the leader, standing at one end,
pitched the hymns by striking a triangle,
the only instrument then allowed.

MANFUL MEASURES vs. FLU

As Seen in Campus Health Clubs
One direct and beneficial result of the
“flu” epidemic has been the formation all
over the campus of informal health clubs.
Night owls are night owls no longer, and
the country around Bryn Mawr fairly
bristles with undergraduates taking their

| constitutionals.

Merion manfully drinks milk with all
its meals. Bathrooms are hourly thronged
with enthusiastic garglers. And sodium
phosphate has become an overwhelm-
ingly popular beverage. Seareely a
student but boasts a health program
such as has hitherto been reserved for
fanatics and fresh air fiends only.

Such is the havoc wrought by war!

Influenza Hospital
(Continued from page 1.)

Mrs. Branson is “General” of the hos-
pital and has had the work of setting up
the wards. Mrs. Daniel Keller (Frances
Branson ex-’19) has done some of the
night ambulance driving and was also for
a while in charge of the motor service.
Thomas Branson, Jr., is an orderly and
night ambulance driver. ue

Amy Sharpless ex-'01, daughter of the
former president of Haverford College,
paints signs and posters for the establish-
ment.

The hospital has so far accommodated
about seventy influenza patients.

The carpenter, who had been excep
tionally busy on Friday, asked to be re-
leased a little early so that he might
make the 250 crosses for funerals in the
village, which he had promised as “his
bit.”

Appreciation for the assistance of Bryn
Mawr students in getting the building
ready is expressed by the Emergency

| Hospital in a letter to the Red Cross.

BRYN MAWR RECEIVES VISIT
FROM BRITISH MISSION

The British Educational Mission to the

United States visited Bryn Mawr Monday

and had luncheon at the deanery with

President Thomas, who is a member of

the Reception Committee of the Ameri-

can Council on Education. The British

Government has sent this Mission, on the

invitation of the Council of National De-

fense, to inquire into the best means of

procuring closer codperation between

British and American educational insti-

tutions, to the end of making increasingly

» firm the bonds of sympathy and under-

standing that now unite the English-
speaking world.

The members of the Mission are: Dr.
Arthur Everett Shipley, vice-chancellor of
the University of Cambridge, Master of
Christ’s College and Reader in Zoology;
Sir Henry Miers, vice-chancellor of the
University of Manchester and Professor
of Crystallography; the Reverend. Ed-
ward Mewburn Walker, Fellow senior
tutor, and librarian of Queen’s Col-
lege, member of the Hebdomadal Coun-
cil, Oxford University; Sir Henry Jones,
Professor of Moral Philosophy, University
of Glasgow; Dr. John Joly, Professor of
Geology and Mineralogy, Trinity College,
Dublin; Miss Caroline Spurgeon, Pro-
fessor of English Literature, Bedford Col-
lege, University of London; and Miss
Rose Sidgwick, Lecturer on Ancient His-
tory, University of Birmingham.

The Mission’s proposed itinerary takes
them from New York through all the
Eastern colleges, including the women’s
colleges, Vassar, Smith, Mt. Holyoke and
Wellesley. They plan to go as far west
as Chicago and St. Paul, south via St.
Louis and Nashville to New Orleans,
north to Montreal and Toronto, complet-
ing their tour in Boston and Cambridge
by December 7th.

The possibilities of establishing an in-
ternational university system are being
everywhere discussed by the Mission,

with’ a view to conferring degrees as re-
ward for successive study in educational
institutions in England and America.

A French Mission of the same charac

| strikingly shown in the poems of Captain







said Miss Spurgeon, which comes from
a closer acquaintance with death, is

Julian Grenfell, especially in his Into
Battle:

“The fighting man shall from the sun
Take warmth, and life from the glow-
glowing earth;

Speed with the light-foot winds to run,
And with the trees to newer birth.
“The blackbird sings to him, ‘Brother,

brother,
If this be the last song you shall sing,
Sing well, for you may not sing another,
Brother, sing.’”’

The attitude toward death of the typ
ical young poet is shown in Captain
Charles Sorley’s little collection, Marlbor-
ough and Other Poems (published in this
country by Putnam).

Other authors whom Miss Spurgeon
mentioned were Captain Ronald Hop
wood, whose poem, The Old Way, em-
bodies the very spirit of the English Navy,
and Captain Robert Graves, whose Over
the Brazier shows the spirit of the army,
Miss Spurgeon referred her audience to
“The Dead Fox Hunter” in this collection
as particularly English. The last verse is

“For those who live uprightly and die
true,
Heaven has no bars or locks,
And serves all taste or what’s
for him to do
Up there, but hunt the fox?
Angelic choirs? No, Justice must pro-
vide
For one’ who rode straight and at
hunting died.”

Miss Donnelly asked Dr. Spurgeon to
give the lecture for the benefit of her
class in Second Year English, but prac-
tically all other ten o’clock classes were
given up so that Miss Spurgeon’s audi-
ence was made up of the whole college.
The English Club is making an effort
to secure Mr. Robert Nichols, who is now
in this country, for a lecture. i

Most of the poetry recommended by
Spurgeon will be placed as soon aS POs-
sible in the New Book Room.



NATIONS CANNOT{STAND ALONE

DR. MUTCH APPLIES PROPHECY (F ISAIAH

Dr. Mutch, of the Bryn Mawr Presby-
terian Church, preached at chapel last
Sunday instead of Rabbi Wise, who was
detained by illness in his family. Dr.
Mutch had just come from New York,
where he had been seeing off his eldest
son, who is enlisting in the British Army.

Unity of nations in Christ, as foretold
by Isaiah, was the theme of Dr. Mutch’s
sermon, “In that day there shall be a
highway out of Egypt to Assyria,” was
the prophecy of universal meaning, said
Dr. Mutch, now to be fulfilled.

Nations cannot stand alone, and God’s
purpose is that they should be welded to-
gether. This is indicated in the varying
characteristics of different races. Even
the Scotchman, who is said to have
chosen the thistle for his national flower
because of its many points, has not all
points, Dr. Mutch admitted.

Commerce should be the chief bond of
friendship, according to Adam Smith, but
commerce has bred discord. So litera-
ture, the hope of others, fosters false pa-
triotism, when it insidiously teaches doc-
trines of Kaiserism. The supreme unify-
ing power can only be Jesus Christ.

America’s mission is to bring the na-
tions together in the worship of one true
God. “Then,” said Dr. Mutch, “the Lord

~ Milkman in Need of Labor Abducts
i Hindu
Worcester is a town of almost all gov-
ernment contract shops, and employers
were about ready to beg, borrow or steal

Office almost fell on the neck of any male
who entered the domain. One old Hindu,
who had been told to come one morning
to meet a farmer who would take him
out to his fafm, appeared with all his
- earthly possessions in a newspaper under
his arm. While waiting for the farmer,
he stood on the curb watching the sights,
when came a little Russian in a
milk cart, picked him up, and before any
of us could get to the door he was rat-
tling down the street with him. The
milkman needed help, so he took what
he could get.!

I made @ study of the textile industry—
cotton and silk—walking miles in mills
in New Bedford and Fall River with two
State Factory Inspectors. We saw some
of the best and some of the very worst
mills in New England. We inspected
plumbing and machinery, and educational
certificates for violations of the Child
. Labor laws. As a result of my experience

here I decided that factory inspection was
one of the hardest and least satisfying
- jobs a person could have; and it takes a
: very unusual person with very good train-
ing to make a good factory inspector.

Was Hired, Fired, and Mentally Tested
In the course of doing clerical work at
two large and very well equipped employ-
ment offices in industrial establishments,
I took physical and mental examinations,
and went through the complete rigmarole
of being “hired” and “fired.” I am sure
that you will be relieved to know that I
passed the mental tests,—one, ™ the
way, took two and one-half hours. I be-
| came proficient in interviewing people
who could not speak English, and in fill-
ing out application blanks for those who
gould not sign their names. I had never
seen more than two Greeks in my life
before I went to Lowell, where there is
@ large settlement of them. The same
holds true for Portuguese, who work in
the Fall River mills in large numbers.

I visited plants that were small cities
fm themselves, with a clerical force in
the employment office alone of from
thirty-five to sixty people. My experience
was all too short, and I consider it inval-
uable as a training for the kind of indus-
trial work I hope to do in the future.

what I have been through lately, you

There were three units of the “Overseas
Theatre,” who entertained us and made
things lively in general; The rest were
canteen workers and business women,
“Y” secretaries, motor drivers, etc.

We owned the boat, and when we
landed all the officers and crew turned
out to bid us good-bye and the dear cap-
tain actually wept. He had quite adopted
us and grown much interested in our
plans and work—for we did work—setting
up exercises every day, French classes
twice a day—and even a French table in
the dining-room, which added to the gen-
eral confusion, for the crew was South
American for the most part and spoke
Spanish to each other and Spiggoty to us.
It was odd to hear the captain’s boy give
his afternoon invitation, “Tea in the cap-
tain!”

There were just three of our intercol-
legiate unit—our leader, Miss McGill, of
Mt. Holyoke, and Elizabeth Osborne, also
Mt. Holyoke, and myself. We came to
London yesterday from our port of land-
ing and were at a general meeting to re-
ceive welcome and instruction this morn-
ing. Now we are awaiting a call or sum-
mons from Lady Ward, who is in charge
of the women workers and who will give
us further instructions. We are surely
well taken care of and very personally
conducted. One meets us and carries us
on a bit and hands us over to another—
each knows just his share of responsi-
bility and we know nothing. But that is
all right too.
Last night we went down to the Eagle
Hut on the Strand and had a glimpse of
what our work will be. Oh! how the boys
were glad to see us! Most of the women
go. directly to France and we were a
treat. I shall write you again when there
is more paper to say it on. My own sup
ply has not arrived yet. Greetings to
B. M. and you. °

Sincerely yours,

WHAT IS THE WAR CHEST?



College Will Soon Be Asked to Contribute

A steady monthly contribution to war
relief, to take the place of constant
money-raising “drives,” is the purpose of
the Five Counties War Chest to which
Bryn Mawr is asked to contribute.

The War Chest is a community fund
providing money for approved war relief.
Among the organizations which it in-
cludes are: The American Red Cross, the
Y. M. C. A. and ¥. W. C. A. War Work
Councils, the Knights of Columbus, the
Young Men’s Hebrew Association, the
Commission on Training Camp Activities
of the War and Navy Departments, the
Salvation Army, National Jewish War
Relief, the Boy Scouts of America, and
the Community Recreation Service.

The fund is carefully administered by
a local Board of Directors which investi-
gates each war relief activity before
money is given to it.

The question of contributing to the
War Chest will be brought before the
college as soon as there can be a mass
meeting. A plan for monthly contribu-
tions will be recommended by the War
Council.
