Contrary to precedent Tue News Board
will not take on any Freshman Editor this
spring. Plans are being made for a new
form of competition in the fall.





The phrase, an sateen poke a0
lo to that ca ry 0 ppy generalities
whlch are Sica te need of definition. It
would seem to include good sportsmanship,
executive ability, faithfulness, and the
various. other qualities which one would
like one’s ideal to possess, summed up with
comfortable vagueness as “all-rounded-
ness.”

But the very difficulty of defining this
term proves it an unsatisfactory qualifica-
tion for a prize. This year’s happy out-
come of the annual “Sunny Jim” contro-
versy, is one more case in point. It was
the unanimous wish of the college this
year to change the interpretation of “faith-
fulness” from that held in the past three
years. Is it hot timely to ask that a more
specific definition be made. of the conditions
of this prize than is furnished in the gen-
eralization “all-roundedness ?”

It is to Dig

Spades were almost as important imple-
ments of war as bayonets. But while the
bayonets have retired with honorable dis-
charge, the spades work on. They have
stopped digging at the Bryn Mawr farm,
not because they are unnecessary, but be-
cause they can be organized more efficient-
ly into Land Army units. They must help
produce this year twice as much food to
ship abroad as they did last, and they need
hands behind them.- Shoulder spades!

The News wishes to correct an error
that occurred in last week’s Alumnae
Notes. The editor wrote in reference to
the “Vers Libre” of the class of 1908—
“The Envoi, ‘Too bad we’re a year too
late, still the same old 1908,’ will have
a familiar ring to the class of 1909.” This
by mistake was transcribed as “To the
class of 1909 they have issued the warn-
ing.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

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

To the Editor of the College News:

If there are any Bryn Mawr seniors
(or alumnae) who are thinking of study-
ing law next year, it may interest them
to know that Yale University has re-
cently opened its Law School to women.
No other law school of equal rank east
of Chicago admits women at present.
If college women show that they appre-
ciate the opportunity offered by Yale,
Harvard and Columbia will undoubtedly
follow her lead. On the other hand, if
few women present’ themselves, Yale
herself may backslide. Such things have
happened.

Margaret Franklin, ’08.

To the Editor of the College News:

You have mentioned in your columns a
revival of the interest in the students’
building. Have any definite plans fér rais-
ing the money matured, beyond the one of
the Seniors giving Liberty Bonds that you
mentioned? How much money is actually
needed before the building can be started,
or have the committee all the necessary

money in hand?

BELGIAN RELIEF WORKER
SPEAKS IN CHAPEL

Tells Plans for Edith Cavell Home for
Nurses in Brussels

Miss Julie Helen Heyneman, Chair-
man of California House for Wounded
Soldiers, spoke on her experiences in
Belgium, and the plans for founding
the Edith Cavell Home for Nurses in
Chapel Friday morning. Miss Heyne-
man is also chairman of Kitchener
House for Wounded British Soldiers.

Relief work in Belgium was greatly
hampered by the goer hospital equip-
ment, said Miss Heyneman, until the
Americans began sending help. She
chose to continue the Sedith Cavell
Home, which had already been running
three and a half years as a memorial to
Edith Cavell, an honor to the Queen and
an expression of American gratitude for
Belgium's attitude toward the war.

‘I don’t want to appeal to the Ameri-
cans again,” concluded Miss Heyneman,
“and I promised those who sent me out
that every contribution I accepted must
be voluntary.”

BY MR. BERGE
AST WEDNESD DAY .

Mr. J. Kingsley Berge, professor at
the International College of Smyrna,.
spoke informally to members of the

hristian Association in Denbigh sitting:
room Wednesday night. Mr. Berge com-
pared the colleges of the east with those
in America and emphasized the need.
for American teachers in the Turkish:
colleges.

Six weeks in a Moslem home gave Mr..
Berge an opportunity to meet the Mos-.
lem women and to realize their ignor-.
ance and their attitude towards educa-
tion. Many of them are illiterate, but.
they are eager for contact with Ameri-
can women, even with those who do not
speak the Turkish language. Officials:
of the Turkish Government have re-
quested that Americans come to Turkey
to teach the Turkish girls in order that.
they may become teachers in the schools
and colleges. :

Besides the college in which Mr. Berge:
is a professor, there is, in Smyrna, the
American Institution for Cirls and alsa.
the first kindergarten opened in Tur-
key. Constantinople has three colleges,.
Robert and Beirut colleges for men,
and for women the Girls’ College of.
Constantinople. Mr. Berge urged that
Bryn Mawr make the most of the op-
cg for educational work in Tur-

y.

BOOK COLLECTOR ENTERTAINS:
ENGLISH CLUB AT HOME

Exhibits Valuable Manuscripts

An opportunity to examine rare editions
and manuscripts of old books was given
to members of the English Club Friday
afternoon when they visited the home of
Mr. Edward Newton, book collector, at
“Oak Knoll,” in Daylesford, on the Main
Line.

Mr. Newton gave a short talk on Wil-
liam Blake, whom he pronounced “one of
the greatest imaginative artists that Eng-
land ever produced, and, as an artist com-
parable to Michael Angelo.” Mr. Newton
read from various interesting copies of
Blake, which the poet himself had en-
graved by hand, among them Swinburne’s
copy of the “Poetical Sketches,” which he
received from W. M. Rossetti.

Afterwards, Mr. Newton led his guests
into the iron-walled rooms of his. library
to see the rest of his collection, which is
so valuable that the door of the room
must be padlocked with a strong vault.
Among the many rare volumes on exhibi-
tion were—the original manuscript of
Lamb's “Dream Children”; Keats’s copy
of the first edition of the “Faery Queene”;
a presentation volume of “Rasselas,” “from
Sam Johnson”; an edition of Caxton dat-
ing from 1741, and a priceless first edition
of Herrick.
