College news, April 15, 1919

Raising $100,000 in three weeks to en-
dow an Alumne Chair of French is the
program of the alumne for the coming
Victory Loan Drive.
Liberty Bonds will be asked of friends of
Bryn Mawr rather than of the alumne
themselves in order not to interfere with
the Students’ Building Fund.

“Help your country, help your college,
honor France,” is the slogan. Telegrams
have been sent to twenty-nine Bryn Mawr
women asking them to take the chair-
manship of local committees. ‘Will you
in your district undertake to raise $100
bonds?” is the form of the request.
‘Quotas have been assigned to. different lo-
calities—New York, 200 one hundred dol-
lar bonds; Chicago, 150; Philadelphia and
Boston, 100, ete.

Contributions other than bonds, if re-
‘ceived before May 12, will be invested in
bonds of the committee. Myra Elliot
Vauclain ’08 is responsible for the idea of
the campaign, and the Alumnew Finance
‘Committee and the Board of Directors for
the management of it.

The goal of the Finance Committee is
to raise every full professor’s salary to
five thousand dollars. Four chairs have
been endowed by the alumne to date,
each of which receives three thousand
dollars. When a new chair is endowed
the money used by the college for that
chair is released to increase the salaries
of other members of the faculty and
staff. :

wins his case reports must be written.

Speaker on Near East Coming

Dr. John Kingsley Birge, professor in a
boys’ school in Smyrna, Turkey, will
speak on education in the near East, the

been settled. Dr. Birge gave a course at
Silver Bay the summer of 1917.

Mrs. Eddy -will speak May 7, and Dr.
Harry Ward May 14 under the Bible and
Mission Committee.

Contributions in|.

Dr. Theodore Soares, leading a confer-
ence of three meetings under the Chris-
tian Association last week-end, empha-
sized religion as a vital part of every eco-
nomic and social question.

Dr. Soares, who is professor of prac-
tical theology at the University of Chi-
cago, was introduced at the first meeting
Saturday night by President Thomas.
During the past year he worked with the
soldiers in France under the Y. W. C. A.
and later was chaplain of the S. A. T. C.
at Chicago Univergity. Dr. Soares met
with the cabinet Friday evening and was
entertained at a thé dansant in the gym-
nasium Saturday afternoon. He spoke
Saturday night, Sunday morning and eve-
ning in the chapel.

NOT ESCAPE BUT INSIGHT
SHOWN TO BE RELIGION’S GOAL

Attacking “pious religion,” which seeks
only an escape from practical life, Dr.
Soares, in his first address defined re-
ligion as the “possibility of securing, at
will, insight which otherwise would come
to us only occasionally in the supreme
and critical moments of life.”

Pious religion is designed to be de-
tached, continued Dr. Sodares, because
some kinds of people want to get spiritual
truth from the pulpit, and not a discus-
sion of vital problems. This is a dividing
up of life, for we are not true to religion
unless we. regard it as a challenge to
make life finer.

The value of the quiet hour is to enable
us to see life whole, not to become de-
tached. We cannot be always on the
peak, but in religion we can secure re-
current inspiration by learning to know
a living Ged.

In religion we get Jesus, a man who
lived among men, and who believed that
this was a world where we could “dare
to do right.” Religion means Friendship
with God and men. Friendship is the
hope of the world, the spirit of Him who
“counted not life dear unto Him.”

PRAYER NOT A MIRACLE, BUT A
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROCESS

“Not a miracle, but an ordinary process
of nature,” was Dr. Soares’ description of
prayer in the second meeting of the con-
ference Sunday morning.

“People try to explain away prayer by
calling it a psychological process,” Dr.
Soares showed. “They say ‘that a soldier
prayed to be brave and he was brave,
but it was purely psychological.’ Of
course God operates as consciousness,
and we find God in common life: prayer
is not supernatural.”

Prayer is not getting things from God;
it is self-direction toward the spiritual
meaning of life, continued Dr. Soares.
The tragedy comes when it seems as if
life was meaningless. But the world is
accomplishing something, God is not fail-
ing. When you are in the presence of a
great human bereavement, you want the
bigger sympathy of God, and you will get
it; it is a real emotional experience.
When you sympathize, you have to give
yourself. God actually spends himself on
us. Prayer is like the reserves of an
army, to be flung in as they are needed.
We conquer with a might not our own.
God operates through men.

We don’t want the sort of impertinent

a _ “NEWS”

Frances von Hofsten ’20 was chosen
managing editor of the News at the
annual elections on Monday. Miss

No elections have been held as yet
on the business board, which is un-
dergoing reorganization.

BUILDING AN ACADEMIC NEED

Advises Against General Student
S I * ti

“The need for a students’ building is an
academic need,” said President Thomas
in chapel, Friday.

There are two existing funds in the
hands of the trustees, she said,—one of
$24,942, which is not to be used until
$60,000 is collected for the building. A
second fund of $1800 has been raised
through student entertainments and con-
tributions. “At one time there was a stu-
dent who used to bring her savings week
by week and drop them in the box outside
my office,” she added.

Temporary Theater Not Possible

“Make your plans to build the audito-
rium first, if there is not enough money
for the complete building,” President
Thomas advised. “The college architect
will reach New York from California
April 15, and he and the students’ com-
mittee and the executives of the college
may then-arrange to visit other college
theatres.- Bryn Mawr can usually build
her buildings more cheaply than other
institutions because she is not too proud
to save in non-essentials.” President
Thomas warned the students that the
trustees would not allow a temporary
theatre to be built. ‘Never, even in the
days of utmost need, have we ever con-
templated putting up a temporary build-
ing on our beautiful campus. It means
we should never get a real building.”

She advised against general student
subscriptions and the kind of money-
raising campaigns used during the war,
such as class assessments and charging
for entertainments. “The money must
come in large subscriptions from rela-
tions and friends of the students who can
afford to give, and these outside people
must be persuaded by the students that
this is a worthy thing to give to and des-
perately needed. The alumnz cannot be
counted on for much, as the Alumne As-
sociation feels that the endowment of the
college is the one great aim of every loyal
alumna.”







M. CAREY]’20 C. A. PRESIDENT
Three Nominations Made Elections

M. Carey's nomination for President of
the Christian Association was unani-
mously voted an election at the nomina-
tion of C. A. officers Thursday. She re-
ceived 122 out of 128 votes cast in the
nomination. M. Hardy, who received 96
votes out of 121, was elected vice-presi-
dent. The treasurer is H. James '21,
whose nomination also was made an elec-
tion. She received 106 votes as against
E. Cope’s 13 and S. Marbury’s 7.

Two officers remain to be elected to-
night: a Junior advisory member to the
Executive Board, nominations for which
are E. Cecil, 43, S. Marbury, 35, and H.
Rubel, 29; and a secretary from 1922, for
which the nominations are M. Speer, 67,
M. Tytler, 30. and A. Orbison, 5.








The auditorium of the Students’ Build-
ing will be erected as soon as sufficient
money is pledged and architect's plans
are drawn, according to a unanimous vote
in an undergraduate meeting last Thurs-
day. The alumne will be asked to co-
operate in raisipg the funds.

A canvass has already begun among
the students, many of whom are pledging
Liberty Bonds. The $25,000 accumulated -
in past years toward the Students’ Build-
ing is in the hands of the trustees, not to
be used until the sum of $50,000 is
reached. The total cost of the building
will be approximately $150,000. The site’
will probably be behind Radnor.

A report on the possibility of building a
temporary theatre was read by M. Morri-
son '21, chairman of the committee for
investigation. Three alternatives were
offered: a theatre of concrete, one of
brick, or one of wood with a cinder
foundation; but the plan was given up in
favor of starting the Students’ Building.



PLAN TOUR OF STUDENT BUILDINGS
President Thomas and Dean Taft to be
Accompanied by Undergraduates

A trip to inspect the Students’ Build-
ings of a number of Eastern colleges will
be made by President Thomas, Dean Taft,
M. Martin '19, and L. Kellogg '20, the
week-end beginning May 1. They will be
accompanied by the college architect.

Mt. Holyoke, Smith, Radcliffe, Welles-
ley and possibly Vassar and Barnard will
be visited.

TWENTY-TWO COLLEGES CONFER
ON ATHLETICS

A. Stiles and B. Weaver Delegates

Bryn Mawr was one of twenty-two col-
leges represented at the Athletic Confer-
ence of Eastern Colleges held at Mt.
Holyoke April 11-12. A. Stiles ‘19 and
B. Weaver '20 attended the conference as
official and unoucial delegates respect-
ively. This meeting was the first to be
held by the Eastern colleges since the
New England League joined them and a
constitution providing for a meeting
every three years was drawn up by the
official delegates. Athletic Associations
of all the colleges represented were dis-
cussed and interesting differences in
membership, organization, sports and
awards noted.

Membership for the associations varied
from voluntary membership with volun-
tary dues to required membership, with
dues, for freshmen and sophomores. Ber-
nard makes membership of the Under-
graduate and Athletic Associations syn-
onymous and Swarthmore reserves the
right to vote in the Athletic Association
for those who have played on teams.
“Sport Heads” Among Athletic Officers

Organization was similar in most cases,
but several of the colleges include “sport
heads” among their officers. These heads
are elected by universal nominations at
Wellesley and, together with the coaches
and captains, chose the teams.

Location caused a variation in the
kinds of sports, the northern colleges in-
cluding indoor track and riding as winter
sports, while Wellesley and Vassar have
rowing and ice hockey in addition to the
land sports. Track is excluded, as being

detrimental to health, at Barnard, Brown,

aging editor of, this issue.






Owing to the Easter vacation there
will be no issue of the News next week.
The next number will be April 30.



“And unto each shall it be given, ac-
cording to his merits. " Far from accept-
ing this Biblical decree with resignation,
the vast majority of Bryn Mawr students
are beginning already their annual spring
drive for the coveted grade. The chival-
rous professor is greatly embarrassed to
have to refuse a timid suppliant who
comes to him suffused with blushes, and
his kind-hearted associate can hardly
withhold the 70 which is demanded as a
necessity of life. The more subtle as-
pirants flatter their feminine professors
with invitations to the Tea House, where
they gravely confide all their young
dreams and failures, and their far-
sighted sisters are already selecting
Easter cards, inscribed with tender senti-
ments. High above these toilers sits and
smiles the fiend who regrets the loss of
two merits in her total career, confident
in the truth that

“To him that hath shall be given, and
to him that hath not shall be taken
away.”

Where the End Justifies the Means

“Help make tennis scientific at Bryn
Mawr.” The slogan is a good one, and
the college responds with enthusiasm,
making rapid progress up and down the
tennis ladders, and thronging the courts
each afternoon.

But the ardor of the new devotee is
dampened a little when for three suc-
cessive afternoons she has had to wait
forty minutes in order to be able to play
for forty minutes more on a much too
popular court. And she is crushed com-
pletely when she rises at six-forty-five the
next morning and comes down to find
every court occupied until all hope of
breakfast.

If four periods a week of exercise are
to be organized, why not organize a little
farther, and provide enough courts for
the undergraduates to exercise on?

PRESIDENT THOMAS PRAISES
HAMPDEN’S HAMLET

Declaring that in Walter Hampden,
who will play Hamlet in Philadelphia at
the Adelphia Theatre, Wednesday, a new
and great Shakesperian actor has ap
peared, President Thomas, speaking in
chapel yesterday, compared Hampden’s
interpretation of Hamlet with that of
other great tragedians.

“Hampden’s interpretation is, in my be-
lief, the most consistent one,” said Presi-
dent Thomas. “It is along the. lines fol-
lowed by Bernhardt and Mounet Soully,
the two greatest actors in the past sixty
years. Hampden leaves out none of the
great soliloquies, and, unlike Booth,

scriptions of lines of unchildish little Bel-
gians waiting for bread.
We take food, clothing, books for




things only because thousands of men
risk their health and lives working in
mines and mills to produce them. It is

‘Tvery well to say, “Such things must be,”

but at least we can take some action to
make conditions and equipment as good
as possible. Only as we realize, through
a sympathetic imagination, what we owe
these people can we hope to achieve an
America which is really a democracy.
This realization will not be comfortable,
for it does not come from statistics, but
from vivid images of.the sordid mechan-
ical lives of the “other half.”
Like Ruskin, “I am not so good that I
want to help these people, nor so bad
that I want a reward; but while such
things exist I can not stay apart,” con-
cluded Miss Biddle. Let your imagina-
tion work and a better world will surely
begin to come. ~

CALLS RELIGION’S CONCERN THE
_ MAJOR INTERESTS OF THE AGE

Religion as the solution to the eco-
‘nomic problems of the time and as a har-

monizer between the different factions
of society was discussed by Dr. Soares
Sunday night in chapel. __

Religion that is vital must concern it-
self with the major interests of the age—
and the major interest of our time is
economics. Religion must be the har-
monizer between idealists and practical
men. It is not religious to lose sight of
laws and the facts of life. We must rec-
ognize the God of the world as it is; it
is not religion to shut our eyes to the
hardness of the world. The economic
laws in the world are God’s. We cannot
shut him out of anything.

Democracy is not a levelling down of
men; to the contrary, one of the greatest
needs of the day is leaders. This tremen-
dous modern world of ours is difficult to
manage; we are short in ability. The
essence of democracy is not the equality
of men but giving men the chance to
choose their leaders. Religion must teach
people to give their services without re-
ward; it must teach men that power is
never for personal advantage but for so-
cial service.

The term social service must be en-
larged. It now means merely “patching
up”; it should mean the service of so-
ciety and should include politics. The
faith of Jesus must be the impelling
force of men; it must make each group
realize that it’s only one-half of the whole
and. share with the other half until
“privilege” disappears. Religion must be
faith in God and in men, rich and poor,
that they will respond to justice. Then
we shall have leaders; then we shall
have a real society.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CELE.
BRATES
Have Special Music at Last Meeting;
Give Flowers to Teachers

The Maids’ Sunday School celebrated
the last meeting of the year on Sunday
by having a musical program instead of
reciting the lesson. “There is a Green
Hill Far Away” and “The Awakening
Chorus” were sung as anthems, and solos
were given by Minnie Vaughan, Nellie
Brown, Katharine Walton, Sarah Davis
and Salome Stephens.

Maria King of Merion made a short
speech of appreciation about the Sunday
School, and presented flowers to the
teachers: R. Reinhardt, A. Blue, M. Mose-
ley, H. James, E. Farnsworth; also to the
organist, H. Huntting, and the choir
leader, K. Tyler.

After the service the members of the
school had their pictures taken.

MAIDS’



COMMUNITY CENTER NOTES

Fairy-tale lantern slides were given at
Preston last Friday to about 130 people,
children and adults. The same slides
were used at the Bryn Mawr Center on
Saturday afternoon for the children.
The Men’s Union of the Presbyterian
Chureh is financing this series of chil-
dren’s lectures,

Two groups of Girl Scouts went on
hikes Saturday under Miss McGiffert and
Miss Copenhaver.

Mr. H. Gyler, a student at Hahnemann
Medical College, is supervisor athletics,
club organization work, etc., every eve-
ning at the Center. He expects to organ-
ize a series of hikes on Saturday during
the spring and summer, in which any boy
may take part.

Anyone who can give plants to the
Milestone, for use around the verandah
and yard, is asked to speak to H. Hill.



: sneak is the head. of the ‘Science Depart-

ment in the Friends’ Mission School in
Tokyo, Japan. ‘Ryu Sato, who took her
M.A. in Chemistry here in 1918, is the
only college trained specialist in chemis-
try in Japan. When she made her appli-
cation to the Japanese government for a

teaching certificate and asked for it in]
English and Chemistry, officials wrote to

ask her if it could be true that she could
know both subjects. Following her reply
came a summons from the Emperor's
Special Educational Committee of five
and she was solemnly asked if it were
possible that she had obtained a Master’s
degree in chemistry, and if so what work
she had done for it. After reading the re-
quirements in the Bryn Mawr Calendar
they all stood up and gazed at her in
speechless amazement.

Without this fund Ryu Sato’s work can-
not go on. Mrs. Alsop, of Haverford,
with whom Ryu Sato lived while in this
country, is receiving subscriptions.





H. Alexander in “Finest Canteen”

Helen Alexander ex-’18 is on the staff
of the American Red Cross Canteen at

26, at 2 o'clock.

Mrs. Hubert, who has been travelling
all over the country in the interests of
the Land Army, will tell of the opportu-
nities for joining units in different parts
of the United States. The Land Army

Club, which is composed of young girls]

who have worked in units in Eastern
Pennsylvania, will be present. Anita
Preston ex-'14 is president of the club.
All students who are interested in the
movement are invited to come.

TRACK TEAMS PROMISE GOOD MEET
Prospects of establishing new track
records in the meet the Saturday after
Easter seem veryg good. Under Mr.
Bishop's coaching, ‘the hurdlers have ac-
quired better form and speed, notably H.
Zinsser '20, D. Rogers '20, J. Peyton '21,
B. Murless '22, and V. Wurlitzer ’22. In
the running high jump F. Robbins '22 and
H. Guthrie '22 in the hop, step, and jump,
may possibly break the present records.
Of those who won first places last year,
A. Stiles 19, G. Hearne '19, H. Zinsser ’20,
D. Rogers ’20, E. Luetkemeyer ’20, M. M.
Carey '20, L. Sloan ’20, E. Cecil '21, are
still in college. M. Peacock '19 and P.
Helmer '20, who starred in throwing the
baseball and hurlball, have dropped out.
The preliminary meet will be April 26,



and the final meet May 3.

20 Wins Two Out of Three

The third match between '20 and ‘22,
played Saturday morning, broke the tie
resulting from the two matches on Thurs-
day, and gave the second team tennis
doubles’ preliminaries to the Juniors. The
matches were close enough to make in-
teresting watching and nice team work
was evident between H. Holmes and L.
Kellogg. Of the Freshmen, R. Neel and
H. Guthrie give promise of form, the lat-
ter’s best playing being at net. The
scores were:

H. Holmes '20, L. Kellogg '20 defeated
J. Palache ’22, H. Guthrie ’22; 6-2, 9-7. O.

“EVER LET THE FANCY ROAM”

Prosaic class-room desks yielded a va-
viety of verse, scratched on their sur-
faces, which the Reeling and Writhing
Club secretary copied and read at a meet-
ing of the club last Thursday. The fol-
lowing were culled from the English
room:

“Side by side as we always wash our
heads,

Give a long, long cheer for the green and
for the red;

If the dirt sticks hard as you journey
through Bryn Mawr,

And you're looking for soap, here’s a
cake of Packer’s tar.”

“A little pig with a curly tail,
Soft as satin, pinky pale,
Is a very different thing, by gar,
From the lumps of iniquity big pigs are!”

CALL FOR FICTION COMES
IN CABLEGRAM FROM PARIS

A call for more fiction for the Library
War Service has reached the college
through a cablegram sent out by Herbert
Putnam from Paris: “Urge everything
possible to stimulate book and magazine
donations,” he says. ‘Need never greater
than present. At least million more fic-
tion and miscellaneous books demanded
within next six months to maintain army
morale.”

The Library War Service has purchased
the necessary educational and technical
books, but it wants fiction. The books
are needed in the demobilization camps
and hospitals on this side. When they
are no longer needed here they will be
sent across. The soldiers still in the field
need books more now than when the
fighting was heaviest.

Miss Reed will receive contributions
from members of the college and arrange
for sending them to the camps or abroad.

GREEK FESTIVAL AT BARNARD

A “neck and neck” torch race was the
deciding feature in a thrilling competition
of classical Greek dancing, games, and
music, won last week-end by Barnard
sophomores with 2 points over the
Freshmen.

This year’s festival was dedicated to
the ancient and tuneful Pan. One of the
striking features was the costuming,
which was designed by the students.
There were, among the “Greek mob,”
hunters clad in leopard skins, and maid-
ens looking quite Greek in vari-colored
chiffons. The classic dancing made a de-
cided impression on the select audience
that had been invited; dances, music,
and costumes, had all been composed by
the class members. Freshman fawns and
nymphs won this event by six points.

It was announced that the proceeds
from this year’s contest would be devoted
to the Fund for the Help of Permanently
Blinded of the War.

Whistles Warn Trespassers

Officers of the associations and of the
classes, armed with tin whistles marked
“municipal police,” form a committee to
see that students do not cross the grass
on the upper campus. The step was
taken as a result of a motion proposed in
an Undergraduate meeting last Thursday
because of the serious condition of the
grass. The motion was passed in spite
of the suggestion that “the whistling
might interfere with academic work.”



|ning. President Edmonds showed photo-

graphs taken in his travels up the interior
vivers of China on surveying trips.

“China has no good roads,” he said, at-
tributing to its poor transportation facili-
ties its lack of unity. Its minerals are
not being extracted, nor its industries
organized on a modern basis. He stated
that China would soon be a heavy pro-
ducer of cotton.

As engineers the Chinese can ably re-
pair the damage done by “China’s Great
Sorrow,” the Yellow River, when it
breaks through its triple dikes. The long-
est and oldest canal in the world is in
China, known as the “River of Grain
Transports,” completed in 1250.

Ancestor-worship was illustrated by
pictures of Confucius’ birth and burial-
place, where his 76th lineal descendant is
commissioned by the government to care
for his tomb and a vast cemetery con-
taining the graves of all his descendants.

The report that foot binding is decreas-
ing President Edmonds could not verify,
except in the regions on the coast near
Christian schools, which will not admit
any girl with bound feet.

“The Christian educated woman is the
hope of China,” said President Edmonds,
in describing the college at Canton.

few remarks on William Blake.” The
English Club will visit his home, “Oak
Knoll,” in Daylesford, on the Main Line.
Mr. Newton is the father of Caroline
Newton ex-'14.

“I would not attempt to say a word on
Blake the mystic, but Blake as an artist
and poet, and a man, interests me enor-
mously, and I have some Blake material
well worth seeing,” writes Mr, Newton
in his invitation.

Mr. Newton's latest book, “The Ameni-

“There is a great deal of information

_ about early art which I want and which

I cannot get unless I am actually on the

soil,” Miss King told a News reporter.

“A great deal about history of art comes
out in the big daily newspapers of the
provinces or in the New Year’s almanac
which they publish. I may have to go to
some of the newspaper offices and look
through the files to get what I want.”

A twenty-six-hour trip in a mule dili-
gence will be one of the events of Miss
King’s trip. She plans to leave Cuenca
at three in the morning and travel stead-
ily until six in.the evening; then, after
three hours’ rest, to travel all night. Miss
King plans also to follow the course of the
Cid, and of Don Quixote, and hopes to
meet Blasco Ibanez, on whose works she
has written an essay, which will soon be
published.

In Sardinia Miss King will prepare a
book for publication by the Hispanic So-
ciety. She will also write on Sardinian
architecture in the Pisan style, which has
never been written on except in Italian.
Photographs will be securéd for her in
advance by Mrs. Giles, mother of Ellen
Giles ’96.

ture was given under the auspices of the



French Club. |

During the war, M. Baldensperger de-
clared, the writings of Barrés formed a
link between the front and the people at
home. Before 1914 he had been the
champion of the lost provinces of the
most poignant memories of his childhood
being the retreat of the defeated French
troops in the war of 1870. Several of his
novels dealt with life in the occupied ter-
ritory, and he spoke of Germany always
as the “enemy of the East,” a “troubled
sea” beating always against the French
frontier.

“Because Barrés felt himself alone in
his national concern,” said M. Baldensper-
ger, “because the disaster of the Franco-
Prussian war and the danger of another
weighed less heavily on others, he sought
refuge in sarcasm, in that ironic attitude
which, especially in his first books, won
him much criticism. He amused himself
by making fun of the leading ideas of the
day. Those who were not like him irri-
tated him. In his book “Sous |’Oeuil des
Barbares,” the “barbarians” to whom he
refers are “simply those who are not M.
Barrés.”

The strength of Barrés’ nationalism is
the strength of accumulated centuries,
for it is based on the theory that only
through the cult-of—itspast_is_a—nation
really itself. “La terre et les morts,” a
theme to which he returned again and
again, is for him the only foundation of
national feeling. He has a special rever-
ence for great men and women of the
past, beings representative of their na-
tion and linked by a common principle.
In line-with this is his belief that every
nation has certain consecrated spots, that
places where groups of human beings
have lived and suffered together take on
a sacred significance, a special virtue of
attraction and influence which they exert
without one’s knowing it.
