Model School Edits Magazine
“Pagoda Sketches,” a magazine written
by the pupils of the Model School and
dedicated to President Thomas, appeared
last week. Judging from the first number
which included a poem written in the style
of Burns by a twelve-year-old model and
“Crepuscule,” by Priscilla Fensler, '15, the
Bryn Mawr Review has a dangerous rival.
Among the other contributions are a story
entitled “Mr, Whiskers,” by Frederica de
Laguna.
The magazine is on sale in the Library
for fifty cents a copy.

which the degree is taken. Blue for the
degree of Doctor of Philosophy, green for
the degree of Doctor of Medicine, purple
for the degree of Doctor of Laws and
scarlet for the degree of Doctor of The-
ology, crossed by a chevron containing the
colors of the country in which the uni-
versity conferring the degree is situated.
A chevron of red, white and black indicates
the German Empire; a chevron of white
and green the Kingdom of Saxony; a
chevron of red and white, Switzerland.
Harvard hoods are lined with crimson;
Princeton, orange and black; Johns Hop-
kins, old gold and black, and so forth. The
degree of Doctor of Science, of the Uni-
versity of London, is indicated by a crim-
son gown and a crimson and yellow hood.
Gowns show the degrees taken. Only
doctors’ gowns are made of silk and have
bands of velvet on black or the color of
the faculty in which the degree is taken.
Masters’ gowns have a long sleeve with
a slit for the arm, bachelors’ gowns have
a long-pointed sleeve and the Bryn Mawr
undergraduate’s gown a round open sleeve
on the model of that worn by the Oxford
scholar.
