MAKES SIX SPEECHES
IN PITTSBURGH
D. Chambers Asked There to Help in
Campaign for Armenian and
Syrian Relief
Dorothea Chambers '19 spent last Sun-
day speaking in Pittsburgh for the $30,-
000,000 Armenian and Syrian Relief cam-
paign, which begins there this week.
Besides speaking at six different places—
two in the morning, two in the afternoon,
and two in the evening—Miss Chambers
attended a mass meeting at which there
were addresses by Ex-President Taft, Ex-
Ambassador Morgenthau, and Mr. White-
hair, who was with General Allenby in
Palestine.
In the morning Miss Chambers gave a
short talk for the children’s sermon at the
North Presbyterian Church, and at noon
spoke at the Sunday-school of the First
Presbyterian Church on Sixth Avenue.
At two o’clock she spoke in Crafton, a
suburb of Pittsburgh, at a meeting called
in behalf of the campaign, at the Presby-
terian Church. From there, she was mo-
tored in to Pittsburgh, to Carnegie Music
Hall, where she spoke during a five-
minute intermission in an organ recital
given by Mrs. Heinroth. After this re-
cital, Miss Chambers was present at the
mass meeting in the Syria Mosque.
At Vespers, at the Pennsylvania Col-
lege for Women, where she had supper,
she again spoke for the campaign, and
also at eight o’clock at the First Presby-
terian Church, on the North Side.
Miss Chambers is a daughter of Dr.
William Nesbitt Chambers, for many
years a missionary at Adana, Turkey.
She was secured to speak in Pittsburgh
by Rev. Stanley Hunter, formerly assist-
ant minister at the Bryn Mawr Presby-
terian Church.
The class in “Ancient Egypt” was

The reports for December of the War
Service Board of. Radcliffe, and of the
War Relief Committee of Barnard, are
the only ones which have been received
by the Bryn Mawr War Council. At the
conference held at Vassar last May, it
was decided that in December, March and
June, reports should be exchanged be-
tween the colleges which had created
boards or committees for war relief. The
Bryn Mawr War Council report was sent
to Vassar, Smith, Wellesley, Mt. Holyoke,
Radcliffe and Barnard, but two only, from
Barnard and Radcliffe, have come in.
Radcliffe War Service
Most notable in the Radcliffe report is
the fact that without attempting conscrip-
tion widespread registration was accom-
plished. Only thirty-six students, thirty-
one of whom were graduates or special
students, failed to carry on some sort of
war work,
The eight divisions of the war work
were: Publicity, Food Conservation, Red
Cross, War Courses, Library Overseas
Squad, Clerical, Civilian Relief and
Farming. No special war courses were
given, but girls were put in touch with
such courses given elsewhere, in Boston
or Cambridge.
Barnard War Relief Committee
The kinds of war work attempted by
the War Relief Committee at Barnard
were: Red Cross, War Savings Stamps,
Canteen, Emergency, Entertainment, Pub-
licity and Social Service.
Probably the most interesting branch of
this war council was its Boathouse Can-
teen, maintained at 110th Street and Riv-
erside Drive by the trustees, faculty and
students. About 250 students and alum-
ne served as regular workers, with 60
chapérdgns.
At the end of a leaflet published by the
committee appears the admonition:
The Only Thing America Lacks—TIME.
DON’T WASTE IT!
Time Will Win The War.

the Bryn Mawr Self-Government, is secre-
tary to the large association, Wilson col-

phiet form by Miss Moseley, as secretary.
