IMPORTANT CLUE TO HISTORY

——. Fs

Translation .of the Hittite language, long

one of the greatest of archaeological prob-
lems, has lately been accomplished by Dr.
George A. Bartor, for nearly thirty years
professor of Biblical Literature and Semi-
tic Languages at Bryn Mawr, and now
professor of Semitics at the University of
Pennsylvania.
- Dr. Barton has translated 200. Hittite
laws, one of the oldest codes’in existence,
dating as it does from the fourteenth cen-
tury B. C. His achievement: proves that
the Hittites were kin to the Teutoas and
Celts and ‘ancestors of the Greeks and
Romans.

According to Dr. Maynard, present pro-
fessor of Semitic languages at Bryn Mawr,
the translation of the code is important
first because it reveals the customs and
legal institutions of the Hittites, and, sec-
ond, because it may change our whole
conception of the origin of the Indo-Euro-
peans. Hitherto, he said, we have known
the history, of Egypt and Babylonia, but
the history of Asia Minor and of the Hit-4
tites, the friends and kinsmen of the de-
fenders of Troy, has been a blank to us.

Dr. Barton came to Bryn Mawr in 1891.
He offered a vast variety of courses, in-
cluding Oriental Histofy, History of Re-
ligion, Christian Doctrines, Oriental Arch-



bie, Aramaic, Syriac, Ethidpic and Egyptian.
Moreover, in spite of his extraordinary
wide research work, he’ never failed to
find time to lead morning chapel.

His researches covered Old and New
Testament criticisti, Hebrew philology and
archaeology, Phoenician inscriptions, Hit-
tite and Sumerian lore. Some fifteen
books, a mass of original material which
it would have taken at least three average
scholars to produce, embody his work.
The “Sketch of Semitic Origins, ‘Social
and Religious,” established ~ his position
among Semitic scholars in 1902 and still
remains the best book on the subject.
~-He-has* made especially important con-
tributions to Assyriology by: his work on
“The Origitt and Development of Babylon
Writing.” “Archaeology and the Bible” is
a standard work because the most com-
prehensive of its kind, throwing new light
on the Bible and the Hebrews.

OF CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION

Aims



R

M. Stewardson, ’25, recently elected pres-
ident of C. A., speaking in vespers in the
cloisters on Sunday, said that she wanted
the Christian Association to give everyone
an opportunity to form and -express her
ideals, : :

“We all get tired of hearing about. the
youth movement,” she began, because we
are apt to consider it a machine-like or-
ganization. It is not really an organization,
but merely various groups of people in
various countries,- finding out what they
are trying to do and then attempting it, it
is an ideal. Whether We like the sound
of the ‘Youth Movement or not, those in
it have something we lack. They are self-
conscious in the best way, for they know
what they are trying to do. Nothing forces
us to think. We get.along rather nicely,
just existing. The name “Commence-
ment” for the day we leave, is surely a
reflection on college, for it seems to say
that “Life begins where college ends.”

Personally I shouldn’t mind if the Chris-
tian Association should cease to exist, she
continued, provided something that was
better fitted to people’s needs grew up.
People worry about an organization. Any
association that is worried about is not
worth having. If everyone tried to find
her ideal and live it the Christian Associa-
tion would be magnificent. The Christian
Association is based on very high ideals—
thought and Christian work ; which I inter-
pret to mean that we should endeavor to
find what we are to do and then try to do
it. We live in a muddled-up world for
which we have to work. We can’t all de-

PLANS FOR SPRAKERS’ BUREAU
DISCUSSED AT CONFERENCE



Delegates Propose Organization with
‘Salaried Executive



Meeting in New York last week-end, a
Conference of college students discussed
plans for organizing an _ Intercollegiate
Speakers’ Bureau, to procure speakers for
undergraduate clubs at a small cost.

Delegates attended from six Eastern
colleges: Bryn Mawr, Haverford, Swarth-
more, Union Theological Seminary, Co-
lumbia and Goucher. The Bryn Mawr
Liberal Club was represented by F.
Briggs, ’25.

The delegates agreed that the Bureau

should be under the management of a
salaried Executive Secretary, who should
attempt to secure better speakers for
undergraduate Organizations at lower
costs. Speakers who are interested in po-
litical, economic and_ sociological subjects
are desired. According to the proposed
plan any speaker on ‘one of these topics
who is visiting a certain locality shall be
invited by the Bureau to speak, in the in-
terests of education, at those college clubs
in the neighborhood which belong to the
Bureau. :
. To finance the organization a sum of
$2000 is needed. It is estimated that if
fifty clubs should join, each paying an ini-
tiation fee on a graduated scale according
‘to the number of members, about $500
could be raised. The other $1500 must
be contributed by private subscyiption.

Another Conference will be held in New
York next week-end to’ discuss further
plans. An. Executive Secretary will be
elected at this meeting and a committee of
nine nominated to supervise the work of
the Secretary and offer suggestions as to
desirable speakers.



THE REV. PHILLIPS DISCUSSES

RELIGION AND THE STUDENT

Science Cannot Take Place of
.__ Religion in World



The Rev. Harold Cook Phillips, Pastor
of the First Baptist Church, Mount Ver-
non, New York, spoke on the place of re-
ligion, in the life of a student, in Chapel,
Sunday evening.

Students often ask, “What is religion?”
he) began, for they have not a very. high
opinion of it. To them it is “a thing which
originates in ignorance and thrives among
the uneducated.” They believe that re-

that science will take its place. This view
is the “index of a shallow and immature
mind.” Religion is the power that inter-
prets life. “We have now become so in-
telligent we almost believe science can take
religion’s place, forgetting that as Profes-
sor Thompson says, “Science and religion
are incommensurable.” Science gives us
facts, but religion gives them meaning.
Religion can direct life, he continued.

All of us admit there is a right and a
wrong road. In so doing we grant our
approval of religion, for it is the “signpost
in life.” Education, though it gives power,
can, unless rightly guided, do us more
harm than good... :

. The victory over life is given to us by
religion, It can teach us to face our prob-
lems without submitting to them. We cre-
ate many artificiat ones in college, but both
here and outside we always meet the prob-
lem of sin, “the greatest enemy of prog-
ress.”* Religion can not only teach us to
conquer this, said Mr. Phillips, but also to
surmount “the troubles and tragedies” of

OTHER PRIZES TO BE AWARDED



Graduate and undergraduate scholarships
and prizes will be awarded in Chapel to-
morrow morning.

The Mary Helen Ritchie prize, or “Sun-
ny Jim” was given in memory of Miss
Ritchie, who obtained her degree from
Bryn Mawr, and spent three years in the-
graduate school, being awarded the resi-
dent fellowship in Latin. In 1899 she was
appointed secretary of the college, serving
in the position now ,held by Miss Edith
T. Orlady, when Miss Orlady herself was
a student. She resigned her position after
five years, owing to reasons of health, and
together with Miss Helen'Hoyt obtained a
farm near Bryn Mawr and experimented
in pheagant raising. One day when she
and Miss Hoyt were out driving, their
horse ran away and threw them out. Miss
Ritchie fell and was seriously injured. She
was taken to the Bryn Mawr Hospital,

February 1, 1905.

The scholarship was given in Miss Rit-
chie’s memory and was to be awarded to
the Senior most like Miss Ritchie. The
faculty on the committee awarding the
prize are supposedly those who knew Miss
Ritchie in college. This accounts, in part,
for the frequent disagreement in the past
between the faculty and Undergraduate
members on the committee: The one be-
ing guided-by-an-actual acquaintande with
Miss -Ritchie, only had a conception of
what such a prize should stand for. Un-
dergraduate opinion has passed through
various phases. Several years ago it was
looked upon as a “hard luck” prize, given
to one who had had hardships and borne
them bravely. Later it was designated as
a reward for “faithfulness and efficiency.”
President M. Carey Thomas in an address
delivered at a memorial service held at
‘Bryn Mawr College, on February .., 1905,
said, “I had the privilege of knowing Miss
Ritchie only as a student and in her busi-
ness life, and yet in the daily companion-
ship-of the office during five years those. of
is*who were associated with her in the
administration of the college came to know
her well and admire her much.. In very
many respects Miss Ritchie was the type
of what I hope that Bryn Mawr graduates
may become after they leave the college,
and I like to think that some of her fine

A UTOPIAN IDEAL

Through long centuries of paitiful evolu-
tion we have achieved an order of things
in which each branch of human endeavor

.}is carried on under more or less” expert

direction. Our militaristic yearnings are
tenderly fostered by-~- institutions such as
West Point, Sandhurst,

unnamed others.

eyes are open to every phase of a situa-
tion. They have full comprehension of the
forces playing with or against them.
Why. would. it not be possible to give our
statesmen, diplomats, and lesser officials
the same thorough preparation for their
positions? As it stands now a man is
elected to office and’ then left to shift for
himself. Often his knowledge and ex-
perience are limited to one particular field;
he has had no previous experience relating
to the new duties devolving upon him.
This seems a practice lacking in the high
degree of efficiency which is the sine qua
non of other divisions of human affairs.
Perhaps the day will come when young
men and women before holding office will
go to colleges specially designed to pre-
pare them for public office. As a possible
future solution, competitive euanduiaroon
and a thorough background may be estab-
lished as requisites for all aspiring office-

holders.

To the Editors of Tue News:

“Such gonferences, of course, seem to me
one of the amusingly futile creations of
this conferential age”—this was given, me
as honest opinion anent the. Interracial

Conference held’ at Swarthmore April 11,
12, and 13, but went on in conclusion to

amend, “but the problem is one well worth
thinking about.”

That’s just it—we as. intelligent people
must think about problems so that later on
we can act. Faced with a problem like
that of race it seems that the thing to do
is to talk it over, and how can that be
done adequately except in conference?

It is in conferences that you can say what
you honestly think: with the best assurance
of its having some effect. It is in con-
ferences that the ever present other side can
get counter: opinions at first hand, and the
process is reciprocal. The Swarthmore
conference, small as it was and unofficial,
did not, to use general terms, “accomplish”
anything. That is ‘to say, no immediate
arid transcendent measures ensued,” but
what seems to me all important an intel-
lectual road was opened. White men and
women talked with black men and women
about an interactive problem. There was
on the whole little argument and surpri8-
tngly little idealizing; facts were earnestly
hunted. for-and-honestly looked at. -For a*
good many people there the experience of
meeting negraes as thinking being to think-
ing being was new. We learned at first’
hand something of that often referred to
intelligensia of the black race—and were

forced to recognize them as our equals.

This method of procedure seems to me
to be the sensible starting point for a work-
ing out of any problem, for patently the
individual cannot run the world—by these

| student conferences we will be able to
‘|}amalgamate our student opinion so that

upon it—the preliminaries being at. least
started. : :

I think that any one who was present
at a meeting of the Interracial Gonference
will agree or admit that a step forward
was made—not perhaps in the great na-
tional and international question of black
and white, but in the segment of it that is
ours. And each segment so treated again
and- again will eventually, of course, make
one*big step. ee

PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES
Calviad Coolidge =

Before his death, last fall, President
Harding had. already been considered by
the Republican Party as a possible candi-
date for re-election in 1924, so that Cool-
idge, who, on becoming President, stated
that he would pursue the policies of his
predecessor, was apt to be thought of, too.

Up to the time of his election as vice-



q



| president, Coolidge had not been especially

prominent in national polities. However,
he had held many offices in Massachusetts,
his own state, for though always quiet and
reserved, he had steadily forged ahead
from the time of his graduation with high
honors from Amherst-in 1895. After two
years of work and study, he was admitted
to the Massachusetts Bar in 1897, In 1899
he became @ity Councilman of Northamp-
ton; this was really the’ beginning of a
long series of public offices which he held,
from that time ‘to the present—City Solici-
tor in 1901, Court Clerk in 1903. During

the years 1907 and 1908, ‘Coolidge es
«chosen as Representative to the State Leg-
islature; he was mayor of Northampton in
1910 and 1911 and State Senator for 1912
and 1913,.president of the Senate during
the latter year. Lieutenant-Governor in
1916 to 1918, he was elected Governor in
1918 by a large plurality, and by an even
greater number in 1919,

The police strike, for the settlement of
which he became widely known, lasted for
two days, September 9-11, 1919, a short
reign of terror, and was then, it is gen-
erally granted, efficiently and quietly han-
dled by Governor Coolidge. Largely due
to this and to the valiant efforts of Frank
W. Stearns, Coolidge’s rather enigmatical
but devoted friend, at the Republican con-
vention, he was made Vice-President in
1920. i
During his whole political career, Cool-
idge has been himself very silent, and has
always let others, whether friends or ene-
mies, do most of the talking about him,
for or against. This has resulted in two
widely different attitudes concerning his
ability and efficiency; some have called him
weak, have said ‘that his ‘lack of speech is
really part of his lack of power and
strength, while others feel that he is quiet
and strong, moderate and withal able.

Before he became President, Coolidge
had shown in the other offices he held a
completely sane and reasonable attitude,
keeping always to the middle path.’ He tig
much to further social reform in Massa-
chusetts, and worked hard for various bills
referring to the railroads, but was > never
in any sense radical. :

As president we have even now seen
very little of Coolidge, the man. He has,
as he announced at the beginning, followed
Harding’s policies in many ways. It would,
in fact, with so short a term of office re-
maining, been difficult to do otherwise.
However, it would seem, that of himself,
he tends to be on the whole conservative,
and slow at times, both to pass judgment
and to act. Under his administration the
foreign policy has continued one of exclu-
sion and partial separation, while here at
home the idea is the further seeking of
prosperity for all classes.

Coolidge has expressed his own attitude
in these words, delivered a good many
years ago in a speech on his election to’
the State Legislature of Massachusetts : ~

“Do the day’s work. If it be to protect
the rights of the weak, whoever objects, _
‘do it. If it be to help a powerful corpora-
tion better to serve the people, whatever
the opposition, do that. Expect to be called
a stand-patter, but don’t be a stand-patter.
Expect to be called a demagogue, but don’t
be a demagogue. Don’t hesitate to be as
revolutionary as science. Don’t hesitate to
be as reactionary as the multiplication table.
Don’t expect to build up the weak by pull-
ing down the strong. Don’t hurry to legis-

-|tate. Give administration a chance to catch

up with legislation.”

NEWS FROM OTHER COLLEGES



Harvard: University o
“phe Harvard Union is at a deadlock
with its Governing Board. The issue, as
quoted by the student committee, “Shall or
shall not the active members of the Har-
vard Union be permitted to hear in the
halls of their Club the speakers they de-
sire?” Recently the. members have ex-
pressed a wish that as .a counter-balance
for the conservative speakers that . have
addressed them, they should have repre-
sentative radicals and liberals, suggesting

for consideration Eugene V. Debs, Scott
Nearing, ahd Mr. W. -Z. Foster. These

names were vetoed by the Governing Board,
composed of one, undergraduate and sev-
eral graduates, as being personally objec-
tionable. They promised as compromise to
appoint. a new and more representative
committee on speakers, which as yet has
not been named. They also offered to allow
John L. Lewis, head of the United Mine
Workers. of America, to speak, but the
Undergraduate Committee, it was thought,
would not accept Him as a typical and only
liberal, Mr. Bertrand Russell on the one
hand is vigorously attacking the Harvard
authorities for a stand that he calls “child-
ish,” and President Lowell is upholding
Harvard’s record “liberalism.” — The
Undergraduate Committee proposes as a
solution: “That hereafter, when two hun-
dred members of the Harvard Union show
by petition that they wish to hear a ce1-
-tain speaker, and the Undergraduate Com-
mittee approves the Choice, that speaker
shall be invited to the Union, provided that
he is permitted to lecture in the United
ptates.



Wellesley College

“What is Christian Association to stand
for next year? There is a definite need
for'a Christian Association in college—is
Cc. A. meeting it; if not why not?”

Such questions are to be discussed at the
next C. A. meeting, Wednesday evening,
April 23, when the authors of similar cen-
sures, which have been echoed about
campus; are invited to make public their
arguments, Heretics and supporters, alike,
will be welcomed.

But the Christian Association has planned
the meeting to give the reformers an op-
portunity to make known their criticisms,
destructive and constructive. The icono-
clasts are urged to attend.

In spite of the frequency with which the
phrase, “anything but teach,” is used in in-
formal discussions of after-college voca-
tions, this line of work is actually very

Vassar College

On Tuesday evening, April 15, at the end
of chapel, the members of the self-govern-
ment board filed onto the platform. Anne
Halliday, President of Students’, then pre-
sented the resignation of the entire board
The reasons for this acticn were first ex-
plained to the college, and later summar-
ized by the former president in the follow-
ing statement to the press: “The resigna-
tiutt was the result of the decision of the
Committee forcefully to turn the attention
of the student body to the absolute necessity
fof reorganization of the student govern-
thent, which was created for a much
smaller college than Vassar now is, and
“which is considered unwieldy and inefficient
for the present needs of theecollege. That
this cumbersomness of the government has
resulted in the indifference of the students
to the government, is the belief of the
committee, which wishes for an expression
of opinion front the students as to methods
of reorganization, and which also has plans
of: reorganization to offer to the college for

discussion. *
“The constitution and by-laws of the
Student Association are, of course, to stand
Until united action will be taken by the stu-
dent body “in accepting some form of new
government,” ‘

FACTS AND FANCIES OF MAY DAY

eo &



Preparations for May Day have con-
tinued this’ last week with ever increasing
momeritym. As the time draws near re-
hearsals}} become an.integral part of our
daily lif@ and to catch a glimpse of a fly-
ing Puck or hear the shrill sounds of a
hunting horn no longer ‘surprises ‘us.

Through the courtesy: of Mr. Doneghy,
of the Lower Merion Police, we have been
given permission to put up posters through-
out the township as well as two sail signs
across Lancaster Pike in the village. Still
more outsiders have heard of May Day
through the speech made by Mrs. Otis
Skinner before+the City Club at’ the Belle-
vue-Stratford on Friday, April . Her
General 4subject was pageantry, but the

spéech was mainly concerning Bryn Mawr |-

May Day, with the happy result that a num-
ber of the members came up to her after-
wards and asked details as to where to get
tickets and the time of the performances.

The sale of tickets up to date has in-

_amount of money: received being well over

four ‘thousand dollars already. _ Another
event of great interest of the past week
was the moving pictures shown at the Ard-
more Theatre. To most of us it was an
entirely new sensation to see our friends
and ourselves appearing on the screen and
as. each new picture appeared it was
greeted with vigorous clapping and audible
comments in a personal vein, The success
of. the photograph taken of the leading
characters has stimulated ev eryone’s desire
to. see the dress rehearsals.

The rehearsals themselves ate becoming
a matter of routine to most-of us. Occa-
sionally something occurs to delight us, as
when the red chair was brought out from
President Park’s office, placed high on a
packing box and then amidst the assembled
multitude Queen Elizabeth, with the help
of eight eager photographers, gallantly
mounted: to enjoy the majesty of her
slightly insecure throne. Such events serve
to keep our sense of humor, rather strained

‘at times, in good working order. ,

- saying:

Mr. Samuel Arthur King, in a general
talk éntitled the “question of our speech,”
talked over Wanamaker’s radio last Wed-
nest. y and emphasized the fact that the
large majority of American girls, despite
their vaunted superiority, are lacking in
charm because of their slovenly English,
and unmusical voices. He concluded by
“Tf any of my audience feel an
interest in hearing good voice production
on the part of not a few, but a large num-
ber of young women, an opportunity will
be given them at the forthcoming May Day
Fete. The only two nasal voices heard in
the plays on the campus should be those
of the ass in the Masque of Flowers and
of Snmout in The Midsummer Night’s
Dream—both consciously assumed.

“There are likely to be defects in the
acting, but at least many examples of.good
diction can be guaranteed. The Bryn Mawr
Fete has always stood for the ideal of pure
spoken English, just as essential in the
/equipment of a student as pure written

English. The accomplishment of this ideal

is the result of hard work on the part of
the students and an excellent proof of the
advantages of mechanical teed in sound,
pure and simple.”

The one short story of this number, As
It Was in the. Beginning, by Edith Wal-

individuality. ; :
The sketch by, Jean Leanord, ’27, is. a
striking note in its sense for the signifi-

gestion. There is control and savoir-faire.

cide in college what we are going to be
afterwards, but we could think and experi-
ment far more than we do.

When we are out of college our ideals
are—what—determine—what~we do, Many
ideas and ideals go to waste because we
have no chance for expression. In college
we waste our ideals because we don’t try
experiments with them. A _ Freuch girl
said, “You are all so anxious for jobs; sc
few of you are called to anything. It is
so because your minds are so ‘scattered.”

As I see the Christian Association, she
said, it is something very big, much bigger
than college. It is so big that it doesn’t
matter what form it takes, but ideals must
have expression, the more the better. It’s
only a great justification to give. people
a chance and a place to try out what they
believe, Although this sounds very vague
I really believe that it can be worked out
in a different way, perhaps not in one year
or in five, but in the future. It can be
done, however, not by thinking about Chris-
tian Association, but only by thinking about
our ideas. Our pledge is to “Live after
the example of Christ.” We are too young
and comfortable to really understand what
this means, but weeknow that whatever He
was or was not, He had the courage to
think and the faith to try.

qualities were: the result of. Bryn Mawr

training. In many other respects her na-
tural endowment could not have been a
product of education. She was intellectu-
ally alert and keeri; she understood the
most complicated situations: almost before
they had been explained, so swift was her
power of compgghension ; she was incapa-
ble of Aoring herself or anyone else; in
all my acquaintance with her I have never
heard her say a stupid thing. In one sense
she was not an intellectual woman in that
her inspiration. neveF seemed to. me to
come primarily from books, and she was
not a great reader of books. -She was pre-
eminently social and loved to surround
herself with people; her tastes were execu-
tive rather than scholarly; she was an

example of what intellectual people can]

do to heighten and refine such powers.

“She had the quality of faithfulness,
without which I sometimes think all other
qualities are ineffective; she was scrupu-
lous in the performance of duties; inde-
fatigable in her determination to accom-
plish what she set before herself; she never
[ . Perhaps the
quality of all that I valued most highly,
next, of course, to her keen intelligence,
was her fair-mindedness. She seemed to
me absolutely just.

“But it seems to me that over and above
all these really very wonderful qualities
of Miss Ritchie were two that I think I
have never before seen combined to so
large a degree in one person—pluck and
joyousness—and they are qualities that no
education can give. We may gain by great
effort a kind of moral courage and a
studied cheerfulness, but gaiety and plucki-
ness like Miss Ritchie’s are not to be ac-
quired at will. She had in its fullest sense
the joy of living. I never saw her come
into my office without pleasure, however
wearisome in itself the detail. that brought
her, she was so gay; and this was the
case even when during the last year of
her secretaryship she was not well and
had remained in office. only for the sake
of the college, because as she said, ‘It was
not fair to leave it in a tight place.’

“Her pluck and gaiety made her fond of
all kinds of sports and she excelled in
them, and her fairness and justice made
her an excellent umpire, as all basketball
players knew.”

hours a day and so acquire a great deal
of knowledge.”

Dr. Van Dyke is said to have snail
that the college man of today has “prac-
tically no background of general reading.”
“If college men only would follow the ad-
vice of the famous doctor and find out
for themselves what are good, bad, and in-
different books at an early age, a great
good would be’ done at an impressionable
