Afternoon Lessons To Be Given

“Learn to knit on the knitting machine.
It is the only direct war work that can be
done during the quarantine,” says D. Wal-
ton ’19, in charge of the knitting machine
classes, held every afternoon and eve-
ning in the Merion Red Cross room. The
afternoon hours, which begin this week,
are from 4 until 6.

Three machines, operated under the su-
pervision of two instructors, have made
many lessons possible. All those desiring

” instruction are asked to sign the card
posted by Miss Walton on the Taylor
« bulletin board.

Another machine, coming this week,
will be set up in the Graduate room.
Thirty graduates have signed for the
work.

BRYN MAWR RECEIVES VISIT
FROM BRITISH MISSION

The British Educational Mission to the

United States visited Bryn Mawr Monday

and had luncheon at the deanery with

President Thomas, who is a member of

the Reception Committee of the Ameri-

can Council on Education. The British

Government has sent this Mission, on the

invitation of the Council of National De-

fense, to inquire into the best means of

procuring closer codperation between

British and American educational insti-

tutions, to the end of making increasingly

» firm the bonds of sympathy and under-

standing that now unite the English-
speaking world.

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

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

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

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

A French Mission of the same charac

| strikingly shown in the poems of Captain







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

Julian Grenfell, especially in his Into
Battle:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



NATIONS CANNOT{STAND ALONE

DR. MUTCH APPLIES PROPHECY (F ISAIAH

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

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

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

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

America’s mission is to bring the na-
tions together in the worship of one true
God. “Then,” said Dr. Mutch, “the Lord
Swill say, “Blessed be Asia my people, and
