VARSITY BEATS PHILADEL-



of M. Farieg and E. Tuttle
Aid Varsity Team

@

M. PALACHE STARS AS WING



Varsity’s game last Saturday
improvement over that of the week before,
although the victory was not by any mean?
so-assured; the score:at the end of the first
half was two all, at the end of the game
8-4 in Bryn Mayyr’s favor.

The stg of Ahe backs with the for-
ward$ was rdinated; the forwards:
were’ fast, and as a rule, the backs kept
their men well supplied with short passes.
Not one of. the backs, with the exception Ja
of B. Voorhees, ’25, who was put in during
the second half, gave any logg, clean shots
ahead of.their forwards, into open spaces;
. but there was a constant slow dribbling: of
. the ball up, and its elaborate presentation
to the wing or inside or center, as the case
might be. Yet another fault-to be found
with the backs is that, with the exception
of E. Harris, 26, and S. Walker, ’26, they
did not keep their places.

The game started, as seems to be the
habit with varsity games, witha spectacu-
lar rush, this time made by M. Palache,
24, who raced down the field and shot the
first goal in very pretty. form. The first
five minutes of each half were perhaps the
best in the game, certainly the fastest, and
those “iti Which” the “Teast muddling oc=
curred. M. Faries, ’24, and: E. Tuttle, ’24,
played at concert pitch throughout, the
former keeping the ball evenly and unself-
ishly distributed,’ thereby assuring — the
maximum of efficiency to her team, and

what too individualistic game. The stick |
work of these two, alone and together, and
the fast dribbles and shots of M. Palache
as wing: were the prettiest Things in the

‘game.

Advocates Our Entrance Into the
League of Nations and World Court



Mr. Charles Bauer, of the League ot
Nations’ Non-Partisan Association, ad-
dressed the Liberal Club last. Wednesday
evening in Denbigh sitting room.

According to Mr. Bauer, the Association
favors the entrance of the United States
into the World Court and the League of
Nations, believing. heartily in the four
fundamental principles at the bottom of

the peace treaty, the provision for arbi-|,

tration and for waiting three months be-
fore declaring war ; the disarmament_ Pro- |
vision ;~ the economic boycott of the ag-
gressor in any dispute, and the* guarantee
of territorial integrity.

‘The Association is now working for
support in the two parties, to get entrance
into the League ratified, if possible, in the
party conventions next summer. The ques-
tion of entering the Court .will be reported
out of committee about January, and it

HAMPTON QUARTET SINGS
OLD NEGRO! MELODIES



Dr. Gregg Explains the History and
Needs of Institute



Speeches about Hampton Institute, past
and present, were given by its president and
a graduate immediately preceding the negro -
melodies, sung by a Hampton quartet at the
concert, held under the auspices of the Un-
de ‘rgraduate Association at eight ogiock in
Taylor. Hall on Tuesday.

Dr. James E. Gregg, the president of the

Institute, explained how Hampton, founded’.~

by General Samuel: Chapman Armstrong,
in 1868, was designed to instruct the negro
youth in morality, industry, thrift and in
practical Christianity. The Institute has
carried on its work for over half a century
and in that time has sent out over 10,000
men and women able. to earn an honest
living. It has developed into an industrial
village with an annual enrollment of over
2000 students, ayith more than. 150 buildings
and over a thousand-acres of land. ,
The negro melodies and other selections
which followed were sung by the quartet

unaccompanied. All subscriptions collected
at the concert wi yo to the funds of the.
Institute. : “2

THE QUEEN OF MAY

Already is the casting committee for
May~-Day-enmeshed-in-one~of-the-problems
which promise to mass in its way through-.
out the year. How shall the May Queen
be chosen? How indeed. Some wit, with
an eye to creating the most tumultuous
riot that will have ever shaken the walls of
Taylor, has suggested that a meeting of
the undergraduates shall be, called, before
which all the beauties who aspire to the
royal throne shall promenade, dressed in
the most unflattering shade of green and
wearing their golden or otherwise hair down
their’ royal backs!. Surely an’ interesting
‘spectacle, the entire multitude,—for an ob-
server of animal psychology sitting secure
in the gallery with ear-muffs clapped about
his head. But none the less, it behooves
someone to think of a better plan, or else
to abide by his one—if a plan it may be
called. We would point out that beauty
is a very tender subject to be dealt with
by humanity in the mass.
notoriously unappreciative, speaking aes-
thetically. An undergraduate meeting is
of little avail when it comes to the relative
beauty to be found in a right-angle nose,
an obtuse nose, a hooked nose or any of
the other varieties of noses which obtrude
themselves from the visages of man. We
ourselves have a leaning towards the Borgia

_nose, the nose which starts out bravely

enough, but which takes a sudden swoop
when but a little way on its journey, and
is apt to give ‘the face an expression as

A,

(The following extracts are from a letler
written by Miss Toki Tomijama_ to
friends in Philadelphia. Miss Tomi-
jama, who was educated at Westtown
and Columbia University, is a teacher
at the Friends School, Tokyo.)

The earthquake came a few minutes be-
fore noon on September 1, and it was so
strong and sudden that I hardly know how
I ran out with Kayuko in my arms. Our
maid had been having holidays at her own
home, my husband was down town at his
business office, and Kayuko and I were the
only ones at home. I ran somehow to an
open place where several families were
gathered. We depend on number; that is
our psychology I suppose. While there we
were scared by several strong earthquakes,
My husband ran home
all the way from down-town, having no
street car running, no auto, no nothing.
Nobody dared go’ into his house till the
following. day. Right after the strongest
shock a royal “palace near us began tc
burn; and fire here, fire there! We could
see fires on three sides, growing larger
every minute and coming nearer every
minute. ‘Fhe sky was red all over, the
pipes of the city water were all burst out
and no water could be obtained, no machine
could work, no power to stay the super-
human power of fire.

The ‘report ‘says ‘fire started at eighty-
three places, almost at the same time. The
fire went on burning until abéut noon time
of the following day. The seven-tenths of



places) How many died wende not know
yet, but it is said that deaths will be

more people and more money than she did
in the Russo-Japanese war. Every day we
hear of new sad stories and horrible scenes,
People in all, however, are working hard
in the way of rescue and restoration: Hun-
dreds and thousands of people are’ being
sent out of town to settle in the country
where they might find their living more
easily; suburbs of Toky@are almost over-
‘crowded with refugees.

For ten days we had almost no electric

gas can. be obtained yet. ‘ People on the
street look all uneasy and. disappointed.}:
Ev erybody looks shabby and dirty and has
some sad experiences to tell. But all peo-
ple are very friendly and sympathy is felt
in every corner. Common misfortune: has
brought people near to one another. Just
yesterday. I was standing in frfont of my
doorway and saw an old woman carrying
a tiny baby on her back. The baby was
bare-headed and wrapped in rags. The
woman l6oked very, very tired, so’I° asked
her if she wanted to come in and rest.
She came in and told me that the baby
had arrived when her house was in dange1
of fire. As soon as the baby come,’ its
father carried its mother on his back, and
this old woman wrapped it up iri a bed
comfort, and they ran out of the house
which was burned*down when they turned
back to take the last glance of it. The
baby’s mother died two days after that, and
the old. woman is taking care of this first
grandchild of hers. Poor '‘old, woman, she
was too tired herself to look after any

“baby at all!

Several imperial members and _nobilities
were killed by the earthquakes. There is
no wealth or rank before the strong power
of nature. Man is a very weak, helpless
being after all! The earthquake has not
stopped yet. We feel it several times a
day. For ten nights my family slept out
doors’ and. had broken sleep, scared by
earthquake and attack of some. wicked
Coreans. Every day from.toward evening
on, we smell the unspeakably disagreeable
odor of the cremation of those poor victims.
_ September 14. | Our school has not yet
begun, and probably will open in the early
part of next month. Our Hirizaka meet-
ing is going to take care of some hundred
lost children for some time;
parents are found.

We are very thankful to hear that Amer-
ica actively has shown her sympathy toward
Japan and is working hard to help us. Con-
dition here would have been quite different
if iti had been seventy years ago when in-
ternational spirit was different and the
means of communication at home and
abroad was so poor.

Tokyo. will be rebuilt better all round.
It has learnt a great deal in the way of
architecture and street system. Japan in
general has learnt great lessons by this
disaster I am sure. She will grow more
spiritual rather, than. materialistic, and
grow to understand a wiser way of living
rather than a foolish extravagant fashion.
Tokyo, however, has paid too great a sac-
rifice tome a great city again for some time.

Septeffrber 15. It is stormy yesterday
and today, and we.feek sorry for those
thousands without shelter... Today’s- paper
says 1,030,000 people have left Tokyo for
the country places and people are ° still
going out by thousands every day. Tokyo
will be a lonely, forlorn place this winter.
Supplies of all kind in ‘the way’ of food,
clothing, and stationery are very scanty
here. Almost all trades and business are
crushed down; we have to be very thought-
ful how to get on in this hard time. Our
residence had. very little damage, but my

“husband's business office was lost in the

fire and. his business has been’ spoiled. But

STUDENT VOLUNTEER CON-
VENTION IN DECEMBER
Y

Bryn Mawr Entitled to Send Two
Delegates to the Conference



The “Student Volunteer Movement is’
holding its Ninth International «Convention
at Indianapolis from December 28 to Jan-
uary. 1. These conventions are held every
four years and delegatesefrom over a thou-
sand institutions throughout Canada and
the United States attend them. Bryn Mawr
is entitled to send two delegates,

The aim of the convention is “To_réalize

‘the critical needs and. possibilities ‘in the

world to-day, and “to consider the respon-
sibility ofthe Christian -students--of—the
‘United States and Canada in the light of
this situation. »°

“To.consider Christ and his way of life
as the hope of the world,

“To.present the foreign missionary en-
terprise as an indispensable means of bring-
ing the powers of Christ to bear upon the
world’s needs,”

Addresses will be given on many sub-
jects, including “Modern~ Industrialism,”
“Racial Relations, and Christian “Brother-
hood,” “International Problems and the

' Christian Way of Life,” and “Present Day

Social and Intellectual Unrest.” There
will also be open forum and discussion
groups.

Delegates are in no way. bound. to. be
student volunteers or to have any connec-
tion with the movement. Anyone interested
in this convention is asked to-see Kathleen

RUSSIAN PEASANTS AND LABORERS
ENROLL IN UNIVERSITIES

(Erom. the Student Fri€ndship Fund)

Ten thousand Russian peasants end la-
borets have made their way to Moscow in
the hope of enrolling at the University.
This migration from villages and small
téwns is the result of the ruling of the
Soviet Government, granting free admis-
sion to every Russian, espécially to those
of the poorer classes. :

To prepare for the -university examina-
tions, these “Rab-Fac” students; as they
are called, spend from twe to three years
in a preparatory course, similar to that of
an American High School. Nearly all of
the higher institutions of learning in Mos-
cow. are enrolling“peasant students this fall.

“Instructions disagree as to the quality
of the work done by these students,” says
a report of the European Student Relief,
through which American colleges are send-
ing aid to needy foreign students. “Some
say they cannot be educated to university
standards, and that professors are obliged
to pass unprepared students. ,Others say
the minds of these sons of the soil are
fresher than those of the old type of stu-

dent, and that the vigor with which they]

attack problems makes up for lack of
training.

“Older students watch the approach of '

the Rab-Fac much as the old Romans prob-
ably watched the approach of barbarians.’
The latter are given preference in govern-
ment stipends, and first choice of rooms.
It is hard to say what changes will be
forced on the university through this new
open system of education. Doubtless there
will be much repetition of work before the
peasants can reach the upper classes, and
only the best will survive.” *

CHAPEL SPEAKER EMPHASIZES
POSITIVE TEACHING OF JESUS

os

Affirmation of God, Human Character,
Dream of Right World‘Found in Him



Taking oo ls text the verse “Jesus Christ
is yea,’ Dr. Robert E. Speer, Secretary of
the Presbyterian’ Board of Foreign Mis-
sions, spoke in chapel last Sunday night on
‘the positive emphasis of Christianity.

Paul, said Dr. Speer, in defending him-
self against the ‘charge of duplicity, in the
‘second book of Corinthians, says that
since both’ he and they met through Christ,
and since “Jesus Christ is yea,” he cannot
be insincere. Althoygh all of us are

Jesus was completely consistent, Dr. Speer
continued, Truth is a straight, clear line
and Christianity is a. great social and moral

much of our creed are negative, but the
Gospel is a positive, delivering, emancipat-
ing, word. Jesus came that we might have
life, and have it more abundantly. He

way,” bud we can do neither the last nor
the first. - :

In the first place Jesus is the affirmation
of God. Hé“is the answer to the question,
Does God exist, and if so, What kind. of
a God is he? Moreover, he is the abso-
lute ideal of human character. Through
him we are assured that an absolute ideal
can be found, that there is a possibility of
realizing it in another world, and tht we
ourselves can realize this. :

Most of all, he is the sure affirmation of
our dream of a right world. At present it
seems impossible that wars can ever cease,
that interracial hatred will ever lose its bit-
terness, that cold and starving children will

rever be fed and clothéd. But Jesus taught

us to pray “Thy kingdom come, Thy will
he done, on-earth as it is in heaven.” The

religion of Jesus would brighten and sat-

isfy our pinched, starving, and hungry
lives, for Jesus answers to all humanity’s
needs,

SUMMER IN A FACTORY

Polishing False Teeth is Tedious But
Work Offers Interesting Contact





(The following article, which aaauiaa in
“The Friend,” was written by Taki
Fugita, 25, who worked ina factory dur-

ing the anemer) ;

“What is your name?” the fodleia, asked
me for the third time. “T-A-K-I” slowly
I spelled for the third time. “Age? Ad-
dress? Have you ever been employed be-
fore?” This time the questions came in
one breath, and without further delay ]
was employed as a, regular worker in S. S.
White Dental Manufacturing Company; I
was to receive twenty- six cents an hour
and begin'my work as a trimmer from next

morning, <<

The morning came;,at twenty minutes of
eight I was at the factory gate waiting. to1
the forelady, we never ‘say -“forewoman,”
it is not polite, who would take charge oi
me.

Ten minutes later I was at my table, my
fingers busy polishing the tiny false teeth
‘with # tiny file. Often the teeth escaped
from my inexperienced fingers:> “Never
mind, Taki,” the young. assistant forelady
smiled at me, “you will be ‘soon all*right,”

‘and she left me alone.

“Have you been here long?” I ventured
to the girl who sat by me, grave and quiet.
“Only two months,” the answer carié
quickly, then . she smiled, she had such a
sweet smile. “Do you know that I was
dying to speak to you? I am so glad you
age going to work here,” she continued.

The girls in the factory are astonishingly
interesting. Dorothy, she is only sixteen
years old; she gets nineteen dollars a week
and is the sole supporter of her fatherless

“home. In five weeks she was never late
a single minute. Irene is twenty years old,
and is engaged to be married; besides she
is a Puritan! To her dancing is a sin un-
forgivable; she frowns at a tiny swear
word ;.she teaches in a Sunday School’
Virginia is a Jewish girl. -She wears a
pair of red shoes. “Shut’ up!” She cries
every five minutes. Still she too was ever
ready to help me in my work.

“Have you schools in Japan?” “Have
you factories like this in your country?”
“Don’t you swear in Japanese?” My, they
were so eager to know about Japan and
were very intelligent, too. By the end of
my first day, Irene could say even.“Wata-
kushi wa Anatao Aishirmasu!” which
means in Japanese, “I love you.”

No one except those who have actually
worked eight hotirs and three quarters
of an hour every day will realize the tedi-
oustiess of the work. I held a tooth be-
tween the thumb and the torefinger of my
left hand; between the same fingers of my
‘right hand I held a file. Thus I polished
nineteen hundred teeth every day! Yet
some have been doing this for fifty years
and many are doing, and will-be doing ‘this,
fighting at the same time against ill-health.
Not a single day passed in five weeks when
I did not hear somebody complaining of
ther headache, toothache,, or indigestion.
Besides, out of five girls who sat by me,
one had no father and the other no mother.

' No wonder they are thirsty for love, for
friendship; no wonder they are hungry for
-a little kind word and a smile of good-
will even from a stranger.

“How did you like your work here?” the
superintendent of the factory asked me on
my last day there. “I enjoyed it im-
mensely!” I answered, and I meant it.
“Though-the-work was tedious, though the
heat was great, there I was in the constant
touch with the living human elements and
‘living human problems The foreman and
foreladies were not* the cold machines

which could find only faults with their
“workers. ~

“Taki, I have a wend news ra once the
forelady calted me to her office and said,
““From next Monday you are going to get
‘twenty-seven cents an hour instead - of
twenty-six cents. I am so glad.” Then

The Modern Drana, by Ludwig Lewisohn.
(1915.) ~ This isa study ‘of the whole sub-
ject of modern drama, not of any one of
its phases or aspects, and includes the
drama of France, Scandinavia, Germany,

England, Ireland and America. The sub-
ject is,comprehensively dealt with and in-
‘terpreted from the era of its fourtdation by
Ibsen, Strindberg, the Goncourt brothers,
Zola, Henri Becque,.etc., through the Real-
ism of France, the Naturalism of Germany,
the comedies of Wilde and Shaw, the’ na-
turalisms of Galsworthy and Granville
Barker, and finishes ‘with the Neo-Romantic
drama of Maeterlinck, of Hugo von Hof-
mannstahl, and of William Butler Yeats.

Song dnd Lovers, by D. H. Lawrence.
for a change, is a Lawrence from

are not so assured of .Lawrence’s perfidy
that they can see nothing tolerablé-in-him;
can extract a moral which is quite pure,
and, according to some, not a little hyper-
sanguine; to wit, that man’s ties as a son
are firmer than his as a‘lover; For those
lamentably few individtials; however, in
whom a grateful appreciation “Of what is
fine in literature is not dwarfed to high-
handed disapproval by an omni-present, all-
saturating conscienée, there is ne need for
any recommendation other than the fact
that Sons and Lovers is one of Lawrence’s
earlier works, and is written in the artistic
rather than the psychologiéal vein. ‘*’
Joanna Godden, by Sheila Kaye Smith.
My Experiences at Scotland Yard, by
Basil Thomson, is a most absorbing account
of Secret Service adventures, famous and
obscure, during the laté war, as geen from
the-point-of view of a London official in
high circles. The book is written in smooth
and finished phraseology, quite the antith-
esis of the rough, jerky, inexperienced
style used perforce by many of the narra-

tors of those tales of “high endeavor and

splendid achievement” which will alway®
awaken a vivid thrill in their reader. It is
a monument to the, unassuming, gigaritic,
and vital deeds of the Secret Service during
the war, told in the most highly entertain-
ing manner. “No drama, no film story yet
written”-says-Mr.Thomson, “has been so
enthralling as our daily repertory on the
dimly-lighted stage set in a corner of the
granite building in Westminster. In a
century after we, with our war-weariness,
are dead and gone, the Great War will be

ja quarry for tales of adventure, of high

endeavor, and of splendid achievement:
when that time comes even some of the
humbler actors who play their part in these
pages may be seen through a haze of
romance.”

Pharos and Pharillon, by E. M.°Forster,
is the latest of Mr. Forster’s charming,
and refreshing books, among
which are numbered A Room with a View,

| The Celestial Omnibus, Where Angels Fear

to Tread, etc. It is concerned with studies
of Alexandria, very ancient, and modern.
Those who have read any of Mr. Forster’s
work need no incentive to seize upon this
his latest, and perhaps its superbly delicate
quality may be best illustrated were I to
give a few quotations. In his Introduction,
after describing the idiosyncrasies of the
country about Alexandria,in explanation of
the book,
scene where the following actions and
meditations take place, ... Here Afri-
cans, Greeks, and Jews combined to make
a city; here a thousand years later, the
Arabs set faintly but durably the impress

rose another city, still visible, where 1

‘worked or appeared to work during a re-

cent war. Pharos, the, vast and heroic
lighthouse that dominated the first city—
under Pharos I have grouped a few antique
events; to ‘modern events and to personal
impressions I have given the name of Pha-
rillon, the obscure successor of Pharos,
which clung for a time to the low-rock of
Silsileh and then slid unobserved into the
Mediterranean.” ae

In a chapter. describi the vicissitudes
of ‘two Christian monk#imothy the Cat
and Timothy Whitebonnet, he says, 2
and on the following - day Timothy, strug-
Neel ino ‘the ‘Cathedral,

its author says, “Such is the]

all the Preaching of St. Mark. For hé held
the.correctopinion..as to the nature of
“Christ—the only passible opinion; Christ
has a single nature divine, which has ab-
sorbed the human: how could it be other-
wise? Tht leading residential officials, the
municipal authorities, and the bysiness

Proterius, who thought the’ contrary, they
murdered him in the Baptistry, and hanged
him over the city wall. The Greek gar-
rison hurried back, but it was too late.
Proterius had gone,. nor ‘did the soldiers
regret him, for heshad made more work
than most bishops, having passed the seven
years of his episcopate in a constant sfa
of siege. C
Thus the coup d’église had ianniad for
the moment. But it: had to reckon with
another monk, a second Timothy . ;
He-—was.-Timothy.Whitebonnet, so _ called
from his headgear, and his life - “was more
notable than the Cat’s, for he lived at Ca-

that only the most fobust of Christians
can breathe. . . » He learned with horror
of the riots in the metropolis, and of the
elevation of the heretical Cat. For,he knew
that Christ has Two natures, one human,
the other divine; how can it be otherwise ?”

In Pharillon, describing a certain Eliza,
one most incomparable lady, “doing” Egypt
in the latter part of the gighteenth century,
Mr. Forster says, “Food is a solemn sub-
ject. Eliza was not a fastidious or an
insular eater and she would gladly sample
the dishes of foreign climes.* But she did
demand that those ‘dishes should be plenti-
ful, and that they should nourish her, and
loud are her complaints when they do not,
and vigorous the measure she takes,” Then

rare creature.’ ;

Mr. Forster concludes, “A serious history
of Alexandria has yet to be written, and
perhaps the foregoing sketches may have
indicated how varied, how impressive, such
a history might be. After the fashion of
a pageant, it might marshall ‘the activities
of. 2250 years. But unlike-a pageant, it
would have to conclude dully,.. . . Every-
thing passes, or almost everything. Only
the climate, only the north wind and the
sea remain as they were when Menelaus,
the first visitor, landed upon Ras el Tin,

life everlasting.» He was to escape death,
on his wife’s account: he was not to

shades whom ‘Hermes conducts, himself a
shade. Immortal, yet somehow or other
unsatisfactory, Menelaus accordingly leads
the Alexandrian pageant with solid tread;
cotton brokers conclude it; the intermediate
space is thronged with phantoms, noiseless,
insubstantial, innumerable, but not without
interest for the historian.”
