College news, April 30, 1919

President Thomas and the Philadelphia
branch of the Bryn Mawr Alumnz Asso-
ciation gave a Féte Champétre in the
Cloisters this afternoon at four o'clock.
The féte was given to launch the cam-
paign for the founding of the Victory
Chair in French at Bryn Mawr with an
endowment of. one hundred thousand
dollars. A program of speeches, songs
and dances was carried out.

In an opening speech of welcome Presi-
dent Thomas expressed the sympathy
which Bryn Mawr has always had for
France. This speech wag followed by an
address on the “Importance of the Teach-
ing of French in America,” by Monsieur
Jean N. Cru, of the French High Commis-
sion. M. Crue, who was a member of the
Williams College faculty, has been at the
front throughout the war and has served
as “interprete de liason” between an
English-speaking regiment and a French
unit. Elizabeth B. Clark '95 (Mrs. Her-
bert L. Clark), chairman of the Philadel-
phia branch of the Alumnz Association,
also spoke, urging all those who cared for
France to give bonds for the Victory
French chair.

“Chansons Populaires,” including such
familiar songs as “Au Clair de La Lune,”
“Aupres de Ma Blonde,” were sung by the
students, led by the French Club. Dances
in Alsatian costume were given under the
direction of J. Peabody ’19, president of
the French Club. The programme closed
with a tableau of allied nations, in which
Lois Kellogg ’20 took the part of Joan of
Are, the audience rising and singing
“Joan of Arc,” as she entered.

CIRCUS VISITS BRYN MAWR



Supper “Play” Highly Original

A circus, hardly equalled by Barnum &
Bailey’s in originality and skill, was the
setting for the Junior-Senior Supper held
in the gymnasium Friday’ evening.
Clowns, cowboys, the only wild woman in
captivity, tight rope walkers and various
animals, including a monkey governed
largely by instinct, ushered the Seniors to
their seats inside the tent and disap-
peared to take part in the Grand Parade,
led around the ring by A. Harrison, the
right-hand man of the ringmaster, M.
Littell.

A daring feat in tightrope walking
along the white lines of the gymnasium
floor left the audience breathless and was
the first of several stunts performed dur-
ing the dinner. An opera in four acts, un-
winding the reel of 1919's life, showed
the influence of Seneca in the staging of
the crisis, the famous “Fight in the Vill”
between ‘19 and ’20. The operetta ended
with the two classes being “good fellows
together ever.” Z. Boynton, the cele-
brated sleight-of-hand man, and “Tootsie,”
the fat lady, guaranteed to be an excel-
lent wife because there was so much to
her, performed amid applause. After the

MISS KIRK LEAVING FOR FRANCE

Will Work a Year Under Y. W. C. A.

Helen Reed Kirk '14, Assistant Director
of Athletics and Gymnastics, is planning
to leave for France the last of May under
the auspices of the Y. W. C..A. Miss
Kirk will probably work as an athletic
instructor in Paris during the coming

year.

_ booth pointed to $17, 000 towards the
college quota of $20,000, on Tuesday
afternoon, the end of the second day.

Joseph Connolly, employee on the
grounds, was for the third time the
first subscriber. Among others on
the honor roll the first day were
President Thomas, Miss Franklin,
manager of the college campaign, and
Dr. Hoppin.

The booth will be open from 9-3

FIFTH LOAN MOST AMERICAN
SAYS MR. WHITTEMORE

Opens Ces Sait With Rous-
in Chapel

“The Fifth Liberty Loan is not only
the most important, but the most Amori-
ean,” said Mr. Thomas Whittemore,
chairman of the Main Line Liberty Loan
Committee, who opened the college cam-
paign with a speech in chapel Monday
morning.

“If the loan stands for anything, it
stands for the quality we Americans get
from our English blood, that of being able
to finish something we have started.”
The loan, at 4% per cent, practically tax-
exempt, is on a sound economic basis, be-
ing interconvertible at all times with the
loan at 4% per cent, which is absolutely
tax-exempt, so the money need not be
lent from a sentimental viewpoint. But
the person who subscribes, thinking only
of the commercial side, will suffer a spir-
itual loss.

“If the war had lasted six months
longer, 100,000 more Americans would
have been killed,” Mr. Whittemore con-
cluded. “Germany gave in because we
did not tackle the war in the state of
mind of the great tight-wad, and because
she knew we were stinting neither men
nor money. It falls to our privilege to
pay the bills, the incurrence of which
brought the war to a speedier end than
would otherwise have been a.

EX-PRESIDENT TAFT TO SPEAK
AT COMMENCEMENT

Will Talk On League of Nations

Ex-President William Howard Taft will
deliver the Commencement Address on
June 5th. His subject will be the League
of Nations.

Mr. Taft has spoken twice before at
Bryn Mawr Commencement. In 1910,
when he was President, his Commence-
ment speech was held in the Cloisters.
In his address to the graduating class in
1915 a definite plan for a League of Na-
tions was outlined for the first time from
a public platform. Two weeks later Mr.
Taft, with President Lowell of Harvard,
founded the League to Enforce Peace
at a meeting in Independence Hall.





FRENCH HIGH COMMISSION VISITS
AT BRYN MAWR

Three members of the French High
Commission visited Madame Riviere over
last week-end. M. Rouffi was head of the
commission, and accompanied by Lieut.
R. Battigne and Lieut. Reclus, nephew of
R. Rouvier, French cabinet minister. The
mission is now being dissolved, and di-
vided into different bureaus that are fin-
ishing up the business of buying war ma-
terials.

TOUR OF STUDENT BUILDINGS
WILL BEGIN MAY 1

Committee to Visit Four Colleges

Leaving tomorrow afternoon, several
members of the Students’ Building Com-
mittee will accompany President Thomas,
Dean Taft, Miss Louise Watson, and Mr.
De Forrest, the college architect, on a
trip to inspect the student buildings of
four colleges. The undergraduates who
will make the trip are M. Martin '19, F.
Day ‘19, L. Kellogg '20, M. Morrison ‘21,
and C. Skinner 22. They will visit Mt.
Holyoke, Smith, Wellesley and Radcliffe,
and will consult President Woolley of
Mt. Holyoke and Mr. J. P. Baker of Work-
shop 47, Harvard.

The building site below Radnor was
staked out Saturday morning. At present,
plans for the building provide for rooms
for the Student Associations, the College
News, the Trophy, the Alumne Associa-
tion and other clubs, in addition to the
main feature of the building—a stage and
auditorium. Three particular attractions
planned are, a room in which teas may
be given, with French windows opening
on a terrace, a music room with piano
and big fireplace, and a colonnade on one
side of the building.

D. CLARK ELECTED PRESIDENT

Write the new Bryn Mawr song in notes



of Victory.



The Senior “Sunny Jim” and the win-
ner of the George W. Child’s Essay Prize
will be announced by President Thomas
in chapel tomorrow morning, in addition
to the thirteen winners of undergraduate
scholarships and a number of graduate
scholars and resident fellows for 1919-20.

“Sunny Jim,” the winner of the Mary
Helen Ritchie Memorial Prize, must be a
Senior “in the upper half of the class in
grade, spirited, efficient, faithful, and an
all-round student.” She is chosen by a
committee of the President, the Deans,

the Secretary and Registrar, Professor

Donnelly, the Senior Warden, and the
Senior Presidents of the Self-Government,
Undergraduate, and Athletic Associations.
A secret ballot to guide the committee is
cast by the Senior Class. This prize was
awarded last year to Virginia Kneeland.

The George W. Childs Essay Prize,
which goes to a member of the graduating
class for ability in writing, was won last
year by Mary Rupert.

Among the undergraduate scholarships
to be announced are the Brooke Hall
Memorial Scholarship, value $100, to be
awarded to the member of the Junior
Class with the highest academic average
(won last year by Frances Day), and the
two Shippen scholarships, value $100
each, given to two members of the
Junior Class, the one with majors in sci-
ence and the other majoring in languages,
who have received the highest grade in
their group subjects (which must have
covered not less than fifteen hours). The
Shippen European Fellowship, value $200,
goes regularly to the European Fellow.

Of the other undergraduate scholar-
ships awarded annually at May Day, two
go to 1920, three to 1921, and four may go
to one of several classes.

Undergraduates Try to Remove
“Sunny Jim” Restrictions

Motions to try to remove the restric-
tion that the “Sunny Jim” frize must be
given to one of the “upper half” were
passed in an undergraduate meeting
Tuesday night. The regular “Sunny
Jim” committee of the undergraduates
was instructed to tell the “Sunny Jim”
committee of the faculty and staff
in the conference Tuesday morning of
the undergraduate feeling about the re-
striction. Another committee, appointed
by the undergraduate president, will con-
fer later with President Thomas and the
faculty on the interpretation of the prize
for future years. The committee is M.
Martin '19, M. Thurman ‘19, D. Clark '20,
M. Cary '20, and H. Holmes '20.

The principal reason for removing the
restriction was that while the donor stip-
ulated the “Sunny Jim” must have “for-
titude, faithfulness, high courage and
joyousness,” only in the last three years
has “faithfulness” been interpreted to
mean being in the upper half. It was ar-
gued that to graduate with the required
merits shows that one has been faithful
to scholarship, and that a person just be-
low the arbitrary median grade of the
class could be just as good a “Sunny
Jim” as the person just above.

E. Mills Makes Business Board
Elizabeth H. Mills '21 has been elected
to the business board of the News as the
result of a competition which began after
midyears. Miss Mills is the second
Sophomore that the business board has
taken on.



Something must be done to prevent stu-
dents from misusing their library privi-
leges. During the last two weeks books
have been taken from the Reserve room
and the New Book room unsigned and
kept indefinitely. The librarian says that
the Library will be forced to go back to
the old system of fining students $5 for
every book taken out unsigned and $1
for every book returned late, or resort to
the system employed in the large public
libraries and many college libraries,
whereby all books are given out from a
desk and registered by the librarian. No
students would be allowed to enter the
reserve room or the stacks. Neither of
these systems would be_ convenient.
There is an alternative, however—en-
forcement of library rules by the students
themselves. A student who deliberately
takes a book out without signing is cer-
tainly acting against the spirit of the
Self-Government Association. Does not
the situation demand that this Associa-
tion take up the matter as soon as possi-
ble and attempt to co-operate with the
Library?

After the Revels
Another Freshman Night is safely over.

The aroma of Sloan’s liniment and pepper
is fading from the atmosphere. Grad-
ually shoes and electric light bulbs are
recovered and the shining morning face
of the Sophomore can be seen again in
the mirror. But the forced smiles of
those who stumbled in the dark, over-
come by fits of sneezing and the waning
enthusiasm of the Freshmen as they
struggled to repair electric fuses and re-
turn confiscated tams—must it be ever
thus? Imagine a Freshman Night at
which the classical practical joke was
given a rest and only the nobler achieve-
ments of effigies, cartoons and parodies
displayed. On such an ideal occasion,
with the old horseplay jest no longer con-
sidered obligatory, this high revel might
regain its original spontaneity.

PRINCETON PROFESSOR ADDRESSES
DISCUSSION CLUB ON
PATRIOTISM



The State, an Object of Worship, Dis-
cussed in Tuesday Meeting

“Patriotism and the Moral Status of
States,” was the subject of an address by
Dr. Warner Fite, Professor of Ethics at
Princeton University, before the Discus-
sion Club, Tuesday evening. Dr. Fite
showed that the rituals of patriotism,
such as observances of the flag and the
singing of the “Star Spangled Banner” at
concerts during the war, indicate that
men are transferring to the state the re-
spect and worship due to a deity.

“This worship of the state,” continued
Professor Fite, “assumes the state as a
person representing the ideal of all that
is good and moral.” But national honor
and individual honor are quite different.
“The moral status of the modern nation
is that of the individual of two centuries
ago. Things called barbarous in the case
of individuals are compatible with our
present code of national honor.”

In contrasting national and individual
morality, Dr. Fite discussed the questions,
“Is the state a proper subject for reli-
gious worship?” “Is the state a person?”
“A man is a person,” he said, “in so far
as each part of his life is lived in contact
with other people. He is responsible for
others. But the state is a most irrespon-
sible person. IT is too big for real unity,
and its party changes from year to year
make it more than ever changeable and
irresponsible.”

Dr. Fite’s final definition of a state was
an “association, existing for its members,
which should be like a noiseless, invis-
ible, efficient servant, not a sovereign.”
And a League of Nations, he added, that

mon sense, and mutually profitable busi-
ness relations, instead of universal broth-
erly love, would bring about a world with
peace, prosperity, and more. general
spiritual life.

A lively discussion followed the ad-
dress, in which issue was taken with Pro-
fessor Fite on several points.

movement in Russia, and the attitude of
the peasants towards it. By adopting a
policy of arbitrary arrests, banishments,
and executions, Soviet Russia became
strong enough to push back the Czecho-
Slovaks; but Moscow and Petrograd
were in a starving condition, due to the
scarcity of bread, which could not be
brought in because the Czechs held the
Volga, By January and February, 1919,
the military dictatorship had almost died
down and the government was making
some efforts to conserve food.

The Bolshevik government has a strong
hold on the railroad towns, Miss White
said in conclusion, but the inland villages
would prefer a more liberal government.
At present Russia is starving to death;
but if she were fed, part of the military
backing would fall away, and a strong
government would be organized. Hope
lies in the fact that the peasants are beg-
ging for Tolstoi literature.

Food Exports Double This Year
“America has been asked to ship

abroad 20,000,000 tons of food this year,]}
said

double the amount sent last year,”
Mrs. Schofield. For this reason the Land
Army must be continued on a strong eco-
nomic basis, developing more scientific
and more intensive farming methods.
Women must supply the farm labor short-
age which existed before the war, and is
intensified because soldiers are unwilling
to return to the land, and immigration is
being checked.
“Food Will Keep the Peace”

“Approximately 6,000,000 farms will be
undermanned this summer’ without
women help,” said Mrs. Hubert, “because,
in addition to the pre-war_shortage, 73 per
cent of farmers of the draft age were
conscripted.” This summer, according to
Mrs. Hubert, is the critical one for the
Land Army, when women must prove
they are filling a real need. The Land
Army, through its efficiency, must en-
force its standards of fair wages, an
eight-hour. day, and decent sanitary con-
ditions,

“Food has won the war, and food will
keep the peace,” said Miss Mackintosh,
Pennsylvania Field Secretary.

Miss Butcher, of the Pennsylvania Em-
ployment Service, spoke, and Anita Pres-
ton ex-’14, chairman of the Philadelphia
Land Army Club, and Miss Squier, of the
University of Pennsylvania, told of the
work from the point of view of the farm-
erette.

Tea was served in Pembroke after the
meeting.

OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN FRENCH
OFFERED AT SUMMER CAMP



To Study Under French Counselors

A chance to “learn to speak French like
a native” is being offered to ten Bryn
Mawr students by Miss Marie Schoell,
member of the French High Commission,
who will be at the head of a camp in the
White Mountains, near Whiteface, N. H.,
from June 28 to August 25.

Miss Schoell plans to have twenty
French and twenty American girls, under
the direction of French counselors, Ten
of the American girls will be from New
England colleges, and ten from Bryn
Mawr, selected by the French Depart-
ment from among the applicants. There
will be daily instruction and conversation
in French at the camp, and swimming,
hiking, dancing, and farming in coépera-
tion with the Woman’s Land Army.

Miss Schoell was a graduate student at
Bryn Mawr in 1917-1918, and teacher at
the Model School in 1918.

Students wishing to enter the camp are
asked to apply to Miss Schenk or to M.
Sturm, Radnor, for further information.

TEST PROBES
GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Wide Field Covered by Questions

Illuminating discoveries as to the gen-
eral knowledge of the average undergiad-
uate were made at the General Informa-
tion test, taken last Friday by about sev-
enty students. The most appalling gap in
the answers, according to a member of
the committee in charge of the test, was
in the field of art and natural science.

Among the questions -asked were:
“What period of architecture is repre-
sented by the Bryn Mawr Library?”
“Name ten varieties of deciduous trees
on the campus;” “What was the wrath
of Achilles?” and “What is the Irreden-
tist Movement?” To the last someone is
reported to have answered: “A modern
method of dental irrigation.”

turning feet

(And they will be many and large).”

And to the Class of 1909, whose tenth

LOYALTY Te



ae e-

ces



Tocca bois ox meee Gls a
| Bombay, speaking under the History Club
last Saturday evening, told of India’s loy-

alty to Great Britain and the part his peo-
ple played in helping to win the war. Mr.
Rustomjee is the editor of a Bombay
newspaper and has had articles in the
Independent on the Delhi Durbar and on
Rabindrinath Tagore. Since 1914 he has
travelled all through the British Empire.

“India put thirty-five million men at
England’s disposal during the war and
supplied her ammunition and provisions
for a large part of the army. India did
her duty nobly and I am proud of my
country,” declared Mr. Rustomjee. Ger-
many expected India to revolt, but with
the exception of a few men either
German-paid or Irish-inspired, India stood
behind the Union Jack to a man.

Speaking of the unrest in India, Mr.
Rustomjee said that only two of the three
hundred and thirty-two million of people
are able to read. Seventy-two million
are Mohammedans, who before the war
were compelled to bless the Sultan of
Turkey in every mosque once a week,
“but now, thanks to the Indians, Turkey
has gone to pieces.”’ The economic condi-
tion of India has been made even worse
since the influenza and cholera epidemics
and the famines.

“T am a Constitutionalist, and I believe
in the consolidation of the British Gov-
ernment in India,” contluded Mr. Rus-
tomjee. “My ideal is for India to be wor-
thy of responsible government by means
of education. The other party is the Na-
tionalist or Extremist, who form a micro-
scopic group, and want home rule. Even
this party declared loyalty to England
against a common enemy. Great Britain
has educated our characters—emanci-
pated our minds. Is it any wonder that
we are loyal to her?”

Mr. Rustomjee showed slides taken in
India and France of different types of
Indian soldiers and gorgeously dressed
Indian princes.

Special Illiteracy Quiz Rivals General

Wilson ’21. A special Chilian Scholar-

NEWS IN BRIEF

EB. Lanier 19 led vespers last Sunday in
the cloisters. The need for good spirit
in the crowded life’ of college, and the
danger of losing our perspective, was em-
phasized by Miss Lanier.

ogy visited the Pennsylvania Museum
Saturday to study excavations of pottery
frescoes and swords.

Dr. Chew has an article, “Swinburne
After Ten Years,” in the last number of
the “Nation.”

Elections to the committees of C. A.
Cabinet, made Monday, were: Member-
ship, L. Kellogg '20, BE. Jay '21, A. Nicoll
22: Social Service, H. Kingsbury '20, J.
Fisher ’22; Religious Meetings, M. Tyler
’'22; Bates House, B. Clarke ’22.

The examination in general literature
will take place Tuesday, May 6.

The awards for the General Information
Test will be announced at the same time
as the results of the examination in
General Literature.

“The Green and Blue Mat of Abdul
Hassan,” by C. Wilcox "17, Barrie’s “Rosa-
lind,” and “Trifles,” a Harvard play, are
the three short plays to be presented by
the Barnard Dramatic Club, Wigs and
Cues. “The Green and Blue Mat of Abdul
Hassan” was originally published in the
“Lantern.” Miss Wilcox is now taking
a course in play writing at Barnard under
Professor Baldwin.

All who wish to visit the Cheyney
School for Colored Teachers next Satur-
day are asked to notify H. Kingsbury '20,
Rockefeller, as soon as possible. The
students will probably be taken and
brought back in automobiles lent for the
day.

The first dance held at the Community
Center was given by the Federation of
Girls’ Clubs last Wednesday evening. H.
Huntting '19 played the piano.

To help out a need at the Bryn Mawr
Hospital, the college Red Cross Commit-
tee has promised to send over the fittings
of the college work-room. Twenty-two
aprons, 14 coifs, 7 bandages and rollers,
and other odds and ends will be donated.

Unconscious influence is inevitable.
Peter’s shadow fell whether he would or
not. Everyone's life lifts or lowers other
lives, rubbing off something in every
castal contact. Opportunities to exert
influence by will are rare, but there is an
unceasing interchange of influence be-
tween life and life. “Even the tone of a
man’s conversation about the weather or
war,” said Dr. Brown, “constitutes an
emanation of his life.” “At the Last Sup
per,” Dr. Brown concluded, “Christ, in
the words, ‘Do ye as I have done,’ gave
his disciples the highest gift of all, an
example.”
