Announcement of Senior and Graduate
European Fellows and of the Senior

“upper ten” will be made Friday morning

in chapel by Dean Taft. The Seniors who
will receive their degrees with distinction
or who will be graduated in the upper
half of the class will also be announced.

Resident Fellowships, including the
Brooke Hall Scholarship received by the
Junior with the highest average, and won
last year by F. Day ’19, will not be
awarded until May Ist.

The “Senior” or Bryn Mawr European
Fellowship was founded in 1889, and is
intended to provide for one year’s study
and residence at a foreign university,
English or Continental. It was won last
year by Margaret Timpson, of New York,
who was graduated with a grade of
89.345. The highest average made by a
Senior Buropean Fellow under the pres-
ent system of marking is 92.444, the rec-
ord established by Marguerite Darkow,
of Philadelphia, in 1915. Records for the
past six years are:

1918 Margaret Timpson....... 89.345
TOL Fema SRE wi ek 88.376
1916 Marian Kleps ........... 87,328
1915 Marguerite Darkow ...... 92.444
1914 Katharine Dodd ......... 89.7

1913 Yvonne Stoddard ........ 86.877

_ The three distinctions given with de-
grees are “summa cum laude,” awarded
for an average of 90 or over; “magna
cum laude,” for 85 to 90, and “cum
laude” for 80 to 85. Last year five
Seniors, or 7.8 per cent of the class, a
larger number than any other year on
record, were graduated “magna cum
laude.”

The three graduate European Fellow-
ships to be announced are the President
M. Carey Thomas European Fellowship,
for graduate students who have com-
pleted one year of work at Bryn Mawr
College, the Mary E. Garrett European
Fellowship for graduates who have com-
pleted two years of work at Bryn Mawr,
and the Anna Ottendorfer Memorial Re-
search Fellowship. The holders for the
last year are Isabel Smith '15, Eva Alice
Worrall ’16, A.M. ‘17, and Olga Marx,
A.M.

With the exception of the Anna Otten-
dorfer Memorial Fellowship, which is of
the value of $700, each of these fellow-
ships, like the “Senior” Fellowship, is of
the value of $500.



FREE MOVEMENT DRILL BY ARMY
INSTRUCTOR IN FRIDAY
GYM MEET

Agility and quickness tests similar to
those used at the army training camps
will be part of the free movement drill to
be given by Mr. William Cromie at the
Gymnastic Contest tomorrow afternoon.
During the war Mr. Cromie was released
from his position as Physical Director at
the University of Pennsylvania, and be-
came an instructor at Camp Houston.

The other judges will be Miss Cynthia
Wesson ’09, Head Reconstruction Aide at
the government General Hospital, Lake-
wood, and Mr. Philip Bishop, of Haver-
ford School. During the drill given by
Mr. Cromie, Dr. David will fake his place
as a judge.

Student judges to award the apparatus
cup for individual work have been ap-
pointed by the Athletic Board. They

are A. Stiles "19, A. Blue "19, J. Herrick
"20 and H. Ferris '20.

POSITIONS OPEN TO WOMEN IN|
MANY Y FIELDS = |

Hints in Read Table Mestings

A “warm welcome” in the fields of med-
icine, writing, business, social service and

‘farming was extended to students last
week-end in a Vocational Conference,

held under the college Appointment

Bureau.



WIDE OPENINGS IN MEDICINE

The tremendous need and opportunity
for women in the field of medicine and
medical social work were emphasized by
all three speakers at the conference on
Medicine and Public Health.

“Any of the high administrative posi-
tions can be the expected goal of the
woman physician who shows ability in
any particular line of work,” declared Dr.
Martha Tracy ’97, Dean of the Woman’s
Medical College of Pennsylvania. Among
specific openings she mentioned family
physicians, diagnosticians, State health
officers, and industrial medical workers.
Personal requirements she summed up in
good health, sound training, optimism,
and a social sense.

Tells of Work Among Babies at Havre

The work of a Red Cross unit among
the babies in a slum district of Havre
was described by Dr. Dorothy Child ‘10,
head of the Child Welfare Bureau of the
State Health Department, and late of the
pediatric service in France. Living con-
ditions near the docks were so poor that
it was necessary to call out the city fire
department, who turned their hose all
through the district, after which a team
of scrub women was sent through.

Miss Katherine Tucker, Director of the
Visiting Nurses’ Association of Philadel-
phia, defined medical social service as “a
projection of the work of the doctor into
the social field.” Where the clinical doc-
tor drops a case, the medical social
worker takes it up, looking into the home
and the living conditions of the patient.

The speakers were introduced by An-
toinette Canon '07, head of the Social
Service Work at the University of Penn-
sylvania Hospital.



WRITERS GIVE PRACTICAL ADVICE

Reassuring her listeners by the com-
forting statement that the magazine mar-
ket had never before been as good as it
now is, Mrs. Martha Plaisted Saxton
(B. M. ’08, now reader for the Doran Co.)
opened the eonference on Writing and
Journalism with a talk on the journalistic
opportunities for college graduates.

“The two main lessons to be learned
before starting a literary career,” said
Mrs. Saxton, “are, first, to hoard your en-
ergy, and second, to practice perseve-
rance. Inspiration, of course, has its
place, but it is apt to lie down on the job.”

Practical Jobs for Beginners

Mrs. Saxton described the probable
lines of literary work for newly graduated
college women as follows: the newspaper
job, which may mean dramatic or literary
criticism, special articles, or editorial
work, as well as hack reporting; the pub-
lishing house job, which is apt to begin
with reading manuscripts and to continue
with writing commercial advertising or
estimates of books to be sold; and occa-
sional jobs such as translation (which is
very poorly paid), moving picture sce-
nario reading or writing, or office work
for encyclopedia compilers.

through the ‘Authors’ League Bulletin’ to

. DISCUSS DRIVE FOR $150,000

- The possibility of beginning a drive
for $150,000 for the Students’ Build-
ing was discussed at a Senior Class
meeting on Tuesday. To start the
fund, it was suggested that Liberty
Bonds might be donated. A canvass
of the class will be taken to see how
much would be given in Liberty
Bonds or in other forms, provided the
building should be begun immedi-
ately.

MASS MEETING STARTED
PROJECT OF STUDENTS’
_ BUILDING IN 1915

May Day Suggested | to Raise Fund

The project of putting up a Students’
Building was first discussed at a mass
meeting in the old gymnasium, March 12,
1900, five years before the building of
Rockefeller and the Library.

“The convenience such a building would

be need hardly be explained,” says the
Fortnightly Philistine for that year. “No
more forlorn alumne sitting in Merion
parlors and trying to feel at home; no
more struggles with the difficulties that
have hitherto made the giving of a play
such an enormous undertaking; no more
trying to sing in-a cell fourteen by eight
feet.”

As then planned the building would in-
clude “an auditorium, music rooms, offices
for the various clubs and papers, a
library, a dining-hall, kitchens, and rooms
for visiting alumne, with the possibility
of a bowling alley.

“Everybody agreed that they wanted
such a building. $30,000 was named as
the lowest sum for its cost.”

Origin of May Day

A “plan of renewing Elizabethan Mor-
ris dances and May games in as artistic
and historically accurate a manner as
possible,” suggested as a means of rais-
ing the fund by Mrs. Andrews (E. H.
Walker ’93) gave rise to the Bryn Mawr
May Day. The meeting voted to give
such an entertainment in the coming May
(less than two months off). The $5249
made at this first May Day was the be-
ginning of the Students’ Building fund.

Plans for the Students’ Building were
first presented at a mass meeting held
the following fall (November, 1900).
These plans, drawn by Cope and Steward-
son, provided for a building of gray stone
of the same style of architecture as the
other buildings, with a main body and
two wings, one containing an auditorium
and the other a dining hall with galleries
to accommodate spectators at class ban-
quets. “The auditorium,” the Philistine
points out “would be useful for the con-
ferring of Degrees until the erection of
the Library.”

A second set of plans has been drawn
by Lockwood deForest and Winsor Soule.
Will Co-operate With Dean Maddison

A Schedule Committee to meet with
Dean Maddison to fix the dates for out-
side speakers has been organized under
the Undergraduate Association from the
old Education Committee of the War
Council. The members are: H. Johnson
"19, chairman; J. Holmes ‘19, M. Healea
20, H. Rubel 21, C. Skinner '22. Anyone
who wishes to reserve a date for a
speaker or entertainment will apply to
this committee.









Dr. Jonathan Day, of the Labor Tem-
ple, who was to have spoken here this
evening, will give his lecture on Wednes-

day, April 2.



PLAN TEMPORARY THEATRE OR
WING OF STUDENTS’ BUILDING

No More Plays in Gymnasium
Season

Either a temporary theatre or a theatre-
wing of the long-planned Students’ Build-
ing must be built at once if there are to
be any more plays at college in the win-
ter, Marjorie Martin '19, president of the
Undergraduate Association, explained ut
a meeting last Thursday. Owing to the
gymnasium work it will be impossible to
give any plays, except Freshman Show, in
the gymnasium except during the out-
door seasons of spring and fall.

Two feasible plans for building a thea-
tre were presented. The first is to forma
corporation and build a cheap, temporary
theatre behind the sheds back of the gym-
nasium. The building would be made of
ash and cinder concrete and would con-
tain the present stage. The cost would
be about $6000 or possibly $2000 if the
students worked on the building them-
selves.

The second plan is to start the Stuse
dents’ Building, for which two sets of
plans have been drawn, by putting up a
wing containing the stage. The main
building could then be built later accord-
ing to the original plan. About $50,000
would be necessary to begin this. The
students’ Building fund to date is $25,000.

The Association voted that a temporary
committee be appointed to investigate the
price of a temporary theatre; and that
the Students’ Building Committee start
an immediate investigation into the
prices and advisability of building a wing.

The Students’ Building would probably
be erected either below Radnor or behind
the library. The main floor would com-
prise an auditorium with tier seats and
a stage with switchboard, prompter’s box
and dressing rooms; three banquet halls,
which could be made into one large hall;
and offices for the associations, classes,
and college publications. Upstairs there
would be alumnez rooms.

A fireplace in the center hall has been
promised by the Class of 1900. One of
the college directors is reported to have
said that she will give a dance in the
new building the night it is opened.:

THREE NEW C. A. COMMITTEES



Federation Committee Abolished

Abolishment of the Federation Commit-
tee and establishment of World Citizen-
ship, C. A. Library and Publicity Commit-
tees were decisions of a Christian Asso-
ciation meeting Tuesday evening.

The duties of the Federation Commit-
tee will be taken over by the Membership
Committee, which will take Freshmen to
church, and the World Citizenship Com-
mittee, which will keep up a connection
with the World Student Christian Federa-
tion.

The work of the Bible and Mission Com-
mittee will be divided: part will be kept
by the present committee, which will be
called the Bible Committee, and part
given to the new World Citizenship Com-
mittee.

COMPETITION FOR 1922

A Freshman Competition for the first
News editor from 1922 begins tomorrow
(Thursday) with a meeting at 1.30 in the
gymnasium. Those who wish to try out
and for any reason cannot be present are
asked to give their names to A. R. Du-
bach, 72 Pem West, not later than Friday

night.

“NEWS” BOARD LOSES F. HOWELL

Frederica Howell '19 has resigned from
the News board, according to the regular
custom by which one of the Senior edi-
tors goes off in the middle of the year.
Miss Howell has been on the News since
her Sophomore year. She has this year
been Athletic Editor.

THE STUDENTS’ BUILDING

At last there has been a movement to
unwrap the cerements from the Students’
Building plans. Bryn Mawr must have a
permanent stage and this year’s Varsity
Dramatics have proved its right to it.
The inadequate gymnasium stage, erected
each time with great labor and expense,
has been a source of irritation to the
whole college, office and students, long
enough.

The suggestion of a temporary theatre
to house Bryn Mawr drama until the Stu-
dents’ Building can be erected has been
made. Investigations are still incom-
plete, but the other suggestion of at last
commencing the Students’ Building seems
the more practical one.

Money can be raised by the college, as
the last years have proved. Without the
necessity of strain imposed by the war,
campaigns can still be made effective
without resorting to “Blut und Bisen”
methods then employed.

It is up to the present college com-
munity to take the matter up seriously,
not turn it over to the committee whose
only present resort is the sale of song-
books. The Students’ Building is ours,
if we build it, and we can break the sod
for it before the ground freezes again, if
we will.



Go to it, 1922. Through your efforts
Bryn Mawr may soon become a land
where the Hippocampus shall dwell with
the Pale Blue Fox, where the Scarlet
Moth and the Blue Tiger shall lie down
together.

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

To the Editors of the College News:

When the first number of the Bryn
Mawr Review reached me, my first im-
pression was that of revolutionary theory
symbolized in the tone of the new cover.
On second reading, the title of the new
publication has seemed to me inexpress-
ive. A newly published article on Wil-
liam Michael Rossetti, “the grand old
man,” has given me an idea. Why not
call the new publication in the crimson
cover “The Bryn Mawr Bacillus?”

To the Editors of the College News:

The insipid review of the Varsity plays
in last week’s News invites uncomplimen-
tary comment. Is it too much to ask that
the criticism of our one serious dramatic
attempt of the year be in some way pro-
portional to the time and study devoted
to it by both actors and managers—that
it be adequate, thoughtful?

Isabel F. Smith, 1915.





Talla aflaagk ot analysts of she Varta’
| plays, their production and acting, would
‘| surely not have raised the criticism of
'|them above the heads of the undergrad-
uate body. —

The write-up in last week's College
News gives the impression that the stag-

t| ing of the first play was noteworthy, that

Miss Skinner’s acting was remarkable,
and as for the rest the less said the bet-
ter. From all indications this was not
the general opinion. Even if it had been,
the fact that these plays were produced
by the combined effort of the whole col-
lege and seemed to merit a long advance
write-up, would have warranted a review
less superficial, hasty and faulty.

Pierrot, in the “Merry Death,” was ex-
actly not “malicious”; the keynote of
his character lies rather in the lines, “I’ve
zot to revenge myself—all nice people
do.” Miss Ferguson’s speech would ap-
pear from the article to have some
strange unmentionable impediment, that
her movement and attitude should be so
sharply contrasted with it, while as a
matter of fact Miss Ferguson played the
part of the lover, dying yet gay, with un-
derstanding and individuality. Her voice
was musical throughout if somewhat mo-
notonous in cadence.

All but one of the actors in the “Maid
of France” are passed over in disgraceful
silence. I maintain that in spite of un-
familiarity with manly clothes and man-
ners the Tommy and the Lieutenant put
their lines over enough to evoke a genial
laugh from the audience. The play, as
a whole, had a moving quality which
failed of recognition perhaps, only be-

cause the war is now over.

Surely more descriptive phrases than
“satisfying” and “highly satisfactory”
could have been found to express the act-
ing of Miss Ramsay and Miss Ostroff, re-
spectively, for both played with humor
and vigor.

Even had the plays not been up to ‘the
college standard they deserved a write-up
worthier a college student. Furthermore,
a bit of wit and a reminiscence of the
spirit of the evening would not have been
out of place.

Mortified.

To the Editor of the College News:

Dramatic criticism is one of the hard-
est things there is to do well, hence
failure is sometimes pardonable. But
even so, it is hard to forgive the write-
up of Varsity Dramatics, because the
trouble there was not lack of ability but
lack of effort. The article was not un-
intelligent; it was slovenly—from be-
ginning to end. Of the three plays “A
Merry Death” received the most attention
and the most thoughtful criticism. But
even there, surely Miss Babcock’s inter-
esting rendering of an exceedingly diffi-
cult part deserves more than one meagre
and spiritless sentence in recognition.

That “The Maid of France” is a miser-
able play must be obvious to everyone.
But that is no reason for ignoring the
acting. Good or bad, it should have had
some comment. The write-up of “Rosa-
lind” was good enough, so far as it went,
but it was inadequate. In this play, as in
the other two, the critic failed to appre-
ciate anything but the most protruding
of the “high spots.”

No sensible person wants a honeyed
write-up of a play, but everyone has a
right to demand a thoughtful and thor-
ough criticism that is proportionate to the
effort and value of the production. It is
unfortunate that the News should have
chosen Varsity Dramatics as a time to
lapse from its usual standards.

WILL DESCRIBE WORK IN GENEVA
AT MEETING MONDAY EVENING

The work that a World Student Feder-
ation foyer is doing in Geneva, where
several thousand students were stranded
when the war broke out, will be described
by Miss Elizabeth M. Clarke ex-94, secre-
‘ary for Switzerland, Monday evening in
Taylor. The foyer is partly supported by
the Bryn Mawr C. A.

In her report, which appeared in the
“Outlook,” Miss Clarke said “The stu-
dents represented some thirty nations, in-
cluding all the belligerents. Hundreds of
these students found themselves cut off
from contact with their home people and
from all means of getting either news or
money. The appeal to American gener-
osity is first to give them food.” Miss
Clarke goes on to quote from a letter that
she had just received:

“One evening last month Maruschka
went out and did not return. The follow-
ing day a letter arrived, addressed to her
two sisters who were in the University
with her, saying: “I am going away in
order to leave my part of our allowance
to you two; finish your medical studies
as soon as possible, so as to go back to
Russia to help our peasant women, who
need you. My share in helping them is to
make your work and life possible for you.
I go away.” Three days later her body
was found in the lake which her sisters
see from their window. If only there had
been a friend—with means—at hand, so
that Maruschka could have learned to
serve by life instead of death.
They are suffering for the simple neces-
sities of life, these students.”

The Student Christian Federation is
helping the foreign students in Switzer-
land materially and spiritually.

DIALOGUES AND GAMES
AT SPANISH CLUB TEA

Spanish games, dialogues, and recita-
tions enlivened a Spanish Club party at
which Miss Schenck was the guest of
honor last Wednesday afternoon. The
programme, which was arranged by Miss
Dorado and presented by members of the
Minor class, was:

Two dialogues, in which B. Cecil ’21, C.
Hayman ‘19, F. Allison '19 and H. Bennett
'21 took part; a third, Una Mala Memoria,
starring R. Hamilton ’19 and M. Noble
’21; and two recitations, La Marcha Real,
and La Mufieca, by C. Robinson '20 and
Miss Dorado.

A TRUE STORY

Scene laid somewhere on the Campus
8.45 last Saturday morning.

Sympathetic '22: “Good luck to you in
your oral.”

Embarrassed "19 (who got credit in first
oral): “Thank you, but I’m not taking it
today.”

Sympathetic '22: “Why—I’'m sorry—
Are you sick or something?”

More Embarrassed "19: “Oh, no; but I
passed it last fall.”

Sympathetic "22 (with an air of en-
lightenment)—“Oh, I thought you had to
pass them four times.”

to the Lantern Night March, and give us



farged’ ua to do this, reient Tomas hs Pon "intresting chapters are called
college must remember snatches of old

‘Chaos,’ ‘Silence,’ “Twilight,” and ‘Inertia’
we conclude that the reviewer has been —
misled by the shape of the book, which is
exactly that of a bound volume of Punch.”

“Henry Adams,” continues Mrs. Wright,
“had a good start in life, for he came
from Massachusetts, the State where, ac-
cording to Mr. Scott Nearing, 98 out of
eevry 60,000 white citizens become emi-
nent. Moreover, he was descended from
two Presidents and his father was min-
ister to Great Britain. But the ‘iron in
the blood’ had become diluted after so
Many generations and he suffered from a
paralysis of will, for which he paid the
penalty all his life.”

“Infant school, Harvard, Paris, Rome,
and London, all failed to educate Henry
Adams. Paris, however, seemed to afford
him some satisfaction. He touched life
at all points and immediately rebounded
to Paris. For seven years he taught his-
tory at Harvard and arrived at some re-
markable axioms concerning the teaching
profession. He finally abandoned it,
however, having decided that he could
neither educate nor be educated.”




NOTED POILU AUTHOR EXPECTED
- HERE NEXT TUESDAY

André Fribourg, French veteran of the
Great War, and author of “Croire,” has
been invited by the French Club to speak
at college next Tuesday afternoon on “La
Jeunesse Francaise et la Guerre.” M.
Fribourg was in the fighting for three
years, and dropped out only after receiv-
ing wounds which resulted in the loss of
his sense of smell and taste, and which
nearly blinded him.



SELF-GOVERNMENT ELECTIONS

BEGIN MONDAY. AFTERNOON
Self-Government Elections begin Mon-
day afternoon. Five officers on the Ex-
ecutive Board, a president and vice presi-
dent from 1920, first and second Junior

*| members from 1921 and a graduate mem-

ber; a treasurer and hall proctors for
the Advisory Board and a secretary from
1921 are to be elected. Indicating votes
are held by the classes this week and
final votes are taken in the halls on suc-
cessive days, beginning Monday.

A final meeting of the Association will
be held Monday afternoon for the vote on
the revision and rewording of the chape-
ron rules and the reading of the presi-
dent’s report.

SPANISH PLAY ONLY A POSSIBILITY

No definite arrangements have been
made by the minor Spanish class for giv-
ing the play “Castillos de Torresnobles”
in the cloisters, although the plan has
been discussed. Last week’s News stated
that the play would be given.



Major Collins Invites College to Inspect
Game Collection

Major Alfred M. Collins, hunter of big
game in Africa and South America, has
invited the members of the college to in-
spect his game room tomorrow afternoon
from four to six. Major Collins’ collec-
tion is housed in a special fireproof
museum next to his home on Gulph Road
opposite Cartref.

Two years ago Mr. Collins spoke at
Bryn Mawr on hunting in South America.
He was about to make a second expedi-
tion to Africa when the United States en-
tered the war and he was given a com-
mission in the Ordinance Department.












Miss Helburn on Play Writing

The main difference between play writ-
ing and magazine or book writing was de-
fined by Miss Theresa Helburn ’08, play-
wright and dramatic critic for “The Na-
tion.” “The impression of a play must
be made immediately and on a hetero-
geneous audience, whereas a story or a
novel need only please one class of people
to have success. A play isn’t just
conversation, but depends on the han-
dling of emotion. A definite technique
must be learned before writing. . .
Even so, bad plays are often the most suc-
cessful.”

A good way to learn the elements of
a successful play, Miss Helburn sug-
guested, is to watch the development of
a play from the first rehearsal straight
on through the first two weeks of its pro-
duction. An opportunity to do this, she
said, may often be obtained at one of the
the Little Theatres, and is most advan-
tageous in that it allows a study of the
play in its relations to its actors and to
its audiences.



WORK WITH DELINQUENTS

At the conference on Work with Defec-
tives and Delinquents both preventive
and probationary methods were described.
Dr. Louis N. Robinson, Chief Probation
Officer of the Municipal Court, Philadel-
phia, defined the work of a probation offi-
cer as investigation of the environment
and offense of a person and supervision
after he is placed on probation. The
chief requirement is the ability to work
with all kinds of people and the best prac-
tical training for the work is in applied
psychology and the study of social and
economic problems. The average pay of
a probation officer is $1200 a _ year,
slightly higher than the pay of most pri-
vate social agencies.

Preventive and Reform Work

The actual case of a girl who had run
away from home on account of a drunken
father and had been found and made into
a useful and happy citizen was explained
by Miss Anna Pratt, Director of the
White-Williams Foundation, in telling
about her preventive work with young
girls. The use and practicability of psy-
chiatrics in this work was stressed by
Miss Pratt.

“The work I do is with the girls no one
else wants,” said Mrs. Martha Falconer,
Director of the Sleighton Farm Reform
School for Girls. “The girls do not come
to me because they want to; they are
sentenced by the courts for a definite
period of time and they have to make the
best of it. We try at Sleighton Farms to
cover up the stigma that has sent them to
us and to prepare them to meet the fu-
ture, College girls with executive ability
are needed for this work.”



FARMERS’ VIEWS CONFLICT

More important than any other consid-
eration in farming are the marketing fa-
cilities, urged Mrs. A. M. Woodruff at the
farming conference on Friday afternoon.
Mrs. Woodruff has been a practical
farmer on Long Island for thirteen years,
and middleman during the winter for a
Florida orange grower.

Although the small price in the market,
the loneliness of the life, and the scarcity
and high price of labor, now remediable
by the use of tractors, are discouraging
aspects, Mrs. Woodruff made the point
that the possibility of success open to any
intelligent farmer is very great.



Debate Value of Agricultural Courses

In contrast to the view held by the sec-
ond speaker, C. Tabor '15, who has been

studying agriculture at Cornell, Mrs.

Woodruff believed further study for the
college woman unnecessary. She should
be able to learn from books the material
of the agricultural courses, and work her
farm successfully with that knowledge
and practical advice from a visiting ex-
pert.

Miss Tabor believed her Cornell work
very useful, and recommended courses
here in Biology, Chemistry, and Econom-
ics, of which most farmers are ignorant,
in preparation for work in agriculture.
The best preparation is practical farming
for a season. Study of soils she regarded
as essential, and farm management as im-
portant. :

Information on farming opportunities

*|may be had from local branches of the

Land Army and from the State agricul-
tural offices.



BUSINESS A NEW FIELD

Wide openings for women were dis-
cussed at the Conference on Business.
Each speaker stressed that a business
course was not necessary, but that tact,
perseverance, adaptability, and accuracy
were essential. The college courses rec-
ommended were Economics, Statistics,
History, and High School Business Arith-
metic.

Bertha C. Greenough ’17, the cost ac-
countant in the Builders’ Iron Foundry,
Providence, outlined her work in account-
ing and billing. Positions in this line of
business open to women are book-keeper,
supervisor of sheets, treasurer, secretary
or clerk, which leads up to industrial
Manager, and advertising agent.

Recommend Congenial Work

Opportunities for women in _ finance
were shown by Miss Cook, of Hemphill
and Noyes, Wall Street. Women have
filled successfully positions in selling life
insurance, expert accounting, the buying
and selling of bonds, etc. She empha-
sized the importance of choosing one’s
work with regard to one’s inclination.
“Look up the most worthwhile houses in
Wall Street,” she advised, “apply un-
wearyingly by letter and in person, and
when you have once secured a position,
work like the dickens to keep it.” Miss
Cook agreed with Miss Greenough that
stenography gave no opportunity to rise.

The duties of a correspondence secre-
tary were explained by Mrs. Shoemaker,
Executive Clerk in the American Inter-
national Shipbuilding Co. at Hog Island.
In applying for a position, it is an advan-
tage to have had some previous business
experience, however small, because it
gives a knowledge of human nature. In
this line of work, stenography of the sec-
retarial type is a stepping stone.

The speakers were introduced by Dr.
Marion Parris Smith.



WOMEN IN PERSONNEL WORK

Humanizing industry was the basis of
the discussion in the conference on In-
dustrial Supervision and Employment
Management. The speakers showed that
“personnel service,” which is at the root
of the question of the relationship be-
tween labor and capital, is essentially a
woman’s job.

“Marketing labor individually is an ex-

travagant process,” said Miss Elizabeth.

Kemper Adams, of the Professional Wom-
en's Section, U. S. Employment Service.
The country needs a nation-wide, govern-
ment-operated employment system, which
will distribute and collect labor informa-
tion. The whole science of personnel

Management has developed during the
war, and public employment service will
demand workers who know how to deal
with people.

Every undergraduate student is to be

listed this spring according to her swim-
ming proficiency. The swimming cap-
tains will try out swimmers for the fourth
and fifth classes of “efficiency,” and Mr.
Bishop is in charge of trials for the first
three classes of “proficiency.” Any stu-
dents who are unable to qualify for these
classes, or who for any reason do not try
out, will be rated as “non-efficient,” and
posted as such on the lists tacked on the
‘bath-houses in the gymnasium.

DO YOU KNOW?

That the breast stroke is being adopted
by the U. S. Navy as the most practical
for all conditions, especially in the mat-
ter of life saving. This stroke, on ac-
count of its alternation of activity and
rest, can be continued indefinitely with
ease and comfort.

That those men who have swum the
English Channel have used exclusively
the breast stroke and overarm = side
stroke, the most powerful stroke used by
long-distance swimmers.

That the crawl was introduced into this
country from Australia.

SPORTING NOTES

All classes, with their captains and in-
structors, May come to the pool for swim-
ming lessons on Tuesdays and Wednes-
days, from 4.45 to 6.00.

Water-polo match games will begin on
March 24.

The tennis courts are in order and the
basketball baskets will be put up next
week.

There will be no more varsity water-
polo practice until after the gym meet.

APRIL FOOL NUMBER OF “REVIEW”

In addition to two faculty contributions
-——by Dr. Hoppin and Madame Riviere—
the April Bryn Mawr Review will contain
a play by Alice Harrison '20, April Fool
poems, and several short stories, includ-
ing a detective story by Doris Pitkin '20
and Alice Rood ’20.





Advise Knockabout Experience

Mrs. Jean Hoskins, with her experience
as personnel consultant in the first firm
in the country to adopt employment man-
agement, advocated it as a woman’s job.
Employment management means smooth-
ing out and bringing together employer
and worker. It is a human relations job,
and managers of industry have come to
recognize that it demands a woman’s
sympathy and tact. The chief difficulty
is women’s ignorance of business and in-
dustry, and Mrs. Hoskins said that a col-
lege woman should prove her ability to
hold down an executive job and have
eight or ten years of “knockabout” shop
experience before she enters an employ-
ment management course.

“You and I will never live to see a set-
tled condition of labor,” said Mrs. Eve
Whiting White, a member of the Federal
Commission on Living Conditions, who
spoke on opportunities for women in serv-
ice in industrial communities. But we
must work for increased production by
making a fight for an eight- or six- or
four-hour day, and then solve the problem
of the “leisure life” after that, so that
the worker may give a fair return to his
employer for his day’s wages.

Miss Ernestine Friedman, Y. W. C. A.
Field Work Executive Secretary, spoke
on opportunities for apprentice experi-
ence for employment management which
would come in the Y. W. C. A. assistant
managerships. Miss Friedman had
worked in a soup and perfume industry to



study laboring conditions.



To Spend April 11 and 12 at Holyoke

A. Stiles '19, president of the Athletic
Association, and B. Weaver '20, outdoor
manager, have been appointed by the
board as official and unofficial delegates —
to the Kastern Conference of Athletic As-
sociations to be held at Mt. Holyoke
April 11th and 12th. :

Among the most interesting questions
to be discussed at the conference are “the.
value of giving academic credit for gym-
nasium work,” on which the Smith Col-
lege delegate will read a paper; “the
amount of control over cuts and excuses
for outdoor work” which should be en-
trusted to the undergraduates; the ques-
tion of Varsity versus an honorary team
or honorary players, and the standardiza-
tion of awards for all colleges.

MME. CONS OBLIGED TO STOP WORK



One of First to Urge Americans Marraines
for French Filleuls

Mme. Cons, a member of the Bryn
Mawr faculty until the outbreak of the
war, when she and M. Cons returned to
France, has written a letter to the News
describing the conclusion of her war work
due to doctor’s orders. M. Cons, who was
Associate Professor of French here, went
into the trenches in the early days of the
war.

A number of Bryn Mawr students, at
the request of Mme. Cons, published in
the News in 1915, acted as marraines to
French soldiers, writing them letters,
sending money and knitted articles. Last
summer Mme. Cons established a rest
house at Bellevue for convalescent sol-
diers discharged from hospitals, but un-
able to return to the army or to work, and
without comfortable homes where they
could receive the necessary care.

To the marraines who have been keep-
ing in touch with their filleuls, the fol-
lowing letter is directed: :

Marraines whose letters reach their
soldiers regularly are asked to transact
all business directly with them, or with
members of the families whose addresses
are given by the soldiers themselves.

Madame Cons says that, in general, it
is not necessary to continue sending
money every month to unmarried men, or
to any men still in the army. It would be
better to build up a little fund for “recon-
struction.” She asks the marraines,
therefore, to put aside each month their
contributions for their filleuls, and send
the amount when the men are discharged,
and ready to take up home life again.

Money for men who are already work-
ing, and who have a permanent address,
should be sent directly to them, by ex-
press money order in registered letters.

Contributions for the relief of destitute
families, and money for men who are
working, but moving from place to place,
may be sent as usual to

Miss Elizabeth White,
The Marlborough-Blenheim,
Atlantic City, N. J.

But in all cases, marraines are re-
quested to arrange so that nothing need
pass through the hands of Madame Cons.

She says: “The rest-house is closed,
and I retire as intermediary between the
marraines and their filleuls. When I am
able, I shall do what I can for the poverty-
stricken families of my men, and for
them I still ask your help. Please thank
all for their generosity and kindness.

MISS LAUGHLIN WILL TELL OF
SOCIAL SERVICE OPENINGS

Miss Isabelle Laughlin will speak on
social service openings after college next
Wednesday evening in Room F, Taylor,
at 8.30. Miss Laughlin is a Y. W. C. A.
secretary and familiar with all sorts of
social service activities in New York. She
was at the conference last summer at
Silver Bay.

The talk will be under the Social Serv-
ice Committee of the Christian Associa-
tion,

IN PATRONIZING ADVERTI@ERS, PLEAgE MENTION “THE COLLEGE NEWS”











“In order to make clear that site
things can be done by the army of a civ-
ilized nation,” said Dr. de Laguna, “I
must point out that there have been occa-
sions when Americans have committed
atrocities.” As an example, Dr. de Laguna
cited the General Order given to the
United States troops on the island of
Samar, in the Philippines, in 1901, and,
carried out during a two months’ reign of
terror.

“It is true,” concluded Dr. de Laguna,
“that the general who issued this order
was later court-martialed and dismissed
from the army, but we must remember
that he was a product of the army and
typical of a good deal in the rest of us.
If such orders can be given and carried
out by American officers and men, then,
considering the German high command,
and especially the supreme command as
embodied in the Kaiser, are the stories
of German atrocities not credible?”

Points brought out in the discussion
were that the Kaiser, as a product of the
German military system is not more re-
sponsible than the German people who
submit to this system; and that if the
Kaiser, as the chief representative of this
militarism, should be killed there is the
danger that he would be martyrized as
Napoleon was.





BATES PARTY SATURDAY NIGHT

A Bates House costume party will be
given in the gymnasium Saturday night.
The costumes are to represent typical ap-
plicants. Suitable prizes will be given
for the best. Missionary ladies, kinder-
garten children, Italian mothers, grand-
mothers, and children, American mothers
) and families, babies, business girls, and
Sunday-school children will be admitted.
The Bates Club advertises “appropriate
pastimes for all, including dancing and
harmless refreshments.”
On Sunday afternoon at four-thirty, in
Denbigh sitting-room, a tea will be given
for all who are interested in Bates to
meet Miss Deems and Miss Wiggin, of
the Spring Street Settlement, in New
York.



DR. AND MRS. SMITH PLAN SIXTEEN.
MONTH TRIP AROUND WORLD



To Take Sabbatical Year in 1919-20

Leaving Bryn Mawr shortly after Com-
mencement this spring Dr. and Mrs. Wil-
liam Roy Smith plan to spend the next
sixteen months in making a trip around

® the world. According to their present
scheme they will travel first to Japan,
through Korea, China, to British Malaya,
and thence to India, where they will re-
main some time studying. On the last
lap of their voyage they hope to be able
to cross East Africa, and, journeying
down the Nile by boat and rail, eventually
to reach London, to be there for the sum-
mer of 1920.

After their sabbatical year Dr. and Mrs.
Smith will return to Bryn Mawr to re-
sume their work for 1920-21.

C. A. Library Renovated

Renovation of the C. A. library is under
way. With $100 left from last year in
the treasury and $50 in gifts the C. A.
has undertaken to tint the walls, cover
the box couch, which was found in the
basement of the library, and put up cur-
tains. Sofa cushions and gifts of money
from any who are interested would be
appreciated by the Christian Association.

The Book Committee of the C. A. has
ordered many books, which will be kept
with the other new books in a separate
ease. Periodicals and “exchanges” from
other colleges will be placed on the
table.

i. HOLMES ’20 LISTS COLLEGE
SINNERS IN VESPERS TALK

Thoughtlessness, the essence of selfish-
ness, was the subject of last Sunday’s
vesper talk by H. Holmes ’20.

The common college theory of the right
to individual development was attacked
on account of its usual consequence, lack
of consideration for other people. To
this idea of individual development, Miss
Holmes pointed out, is due the difficulty
often experienced by college graduates in
“getting on” with their families after
they return home. Students claiming
this right fail to be adaptable.

Miss Holmes concluded by describing
a classified list of college sinners, and
condemning the current attitude that as-
sumes any change in character impossi-
ble if one is “not made that way.”

to Save His Own Soul



e] “Save your own souls,” said Dr. Am-|
brose White Vernon, of the Harvard
Church of Brookline, preaching in Chapel

Sunday evening, “which is the greatest
thing anyone can do.” Jesus picked out
the prophets as leaders of his disciples,

first, because they had the courage to
keep their own spirits free, and also be-

cause they convinced other men of a spir-
itual power working through their unseen
fellowship of souls.

A prophet must have that unusual con-
viction which makes him ahead of his age
and unpopular in his own time. Later
the world discovers it is living on the
souls of the prophets whose bodies it has
persecuted. The idea of a covenant of
nations was first the dream of an un-
known lonely man in a war-making state
in the time of Amos, which became the
dreams of other single courageous souls,
and now is the accredited goal of man-
kind.

“Given a character that you must
fashion and a soul that you must save,
let it find some holy cause in whose pres-
ence it becomes very small or very
great.” In our time we find the courage
of the prophet in the soldier and in the
conscientious objectors who have refused
to count the cost after their consciences
have spoken.

mester, —

‘Mission work in the Far East is not the
only way in which you can help in recon-
struction; there is plenty of work in your
own home town, continued Dr. Gilkie.
The smaller and narrower the community
the more it needs you to stand for liberal
ideals and to back the union of all de-
nominations. In every church there is a
small progressive group, join this group
and work to get good ministers, to estab-
lish a good Sunday-school, where the pur-
pose is to develop a natural religious con-
sciousness rather than give children for
a strictly predetermined religion.

“It is up to the younger generation to
Christianize the social order and to find
the good in all parties,” declared Dr. Gil-
kie. It ds up to you to see what is pro-
gressive and to work wholeheartedly for
it,”

The war has knocked out part of our
resources, but if we give ourselves up to
altruism we will succeed. God works best
through unselfish people, added Dr. Gilkie.

One hundred and fifteen people were
present.
