JUNIOR PLAY “THE AMAZONS”’
/PHILADELPHIA YELLOWS DEFEAT
* — VARSITY IN FAST GAME
Quick Team Play of Yellows Gains
Them Victory
The Philadelphia Yellows succeeded in de-
feating the Varsity in a very close. game
Saturday morning with the score of 4-3.
Whether the new brown. tunics kept Var-
sity from running easily or whether the
skilfull kicking of Mrs. Krumbhaar was too
effective for the Brown, the Philadelphia
Yellows succeeded in gaining and notsaineg a
lead. .
The first half opéned with the attack in
front of the enemies’ goal. There was a
good deal of falling on both sides, due to the
slippery ground. W. Dodd, ’26, and F. Jay,
’26, passed well in to D. Lee, ’25, and shot
for goal often. It was the fact of Mrs.
Krumbhaar'’s superb playing and not Var-
sity’s weak attack that kept the score down.
J. Seeley, 27, and S. Walker, ’26, stopped
well, but were unable to prevent the pretty
goal the Yellows made on a corner. The
half ended with a long dribble down the
field by B. Loines, ’28 who shot the ball in
and ahead for -D; Lee, ’25, to push into goal,
followed by a pretty score of the Yellows,
the ball being stopped in the air and flicked
in.
The play increased in speed in the second
half. The Yellows passed well and rapidly,
no one person keeping the ball. Varsity
fought hard but in spite of another goal,
were defeated.
The line-up was: Ww
Philadelphia Yellows—Mrs. Krumbhaar,
P. Ferguson, E. Pearson, A. Newhall, Miss
Barclay, M. Newbold, M. Taylor, M. Ty-
ler***,, M. Porcher*, M. Tyler, Miss Logan.
Varsity—M. Gardiner, ’25; K. Fowler, ’25;
P. Harris, 26; S. Walker, 26; J. Seeley, ’27;

GREEK CITY OF HEMEROSCOPEION
DISCOVERED IN SPAIN
Dr. Carpenter Finds Proof for Theory
In Pottery Found
The discovery of the Greek city of
Hemeroscopeion in Spain was the subject
of a lecture by Professor Rhys Carpenter,
Professor of Classical.Archaeology, to the
Archaeological Society on November 7.
The meaning of the word Hemerosco-
peion, “a day’s lookout,” and Strabo’s
description of the coastline as a splendid
place for “buccaneering,”’ first led Dr.
Carpenter to the site, a tall cliff and a bay
admirably situated for Greek ships. Then
his theory was confirmed by the finding
of pottery, the clue for which the archae-
ologist always*digs, lining the trenches
made by a Spanish gentleman for his
villa. The pottery was clearly Greek of
the fourth and sixth centuries.
The fifth century of which no traces
were found, was the period of Greek
weakness and Carthaginian supremacy in
the western Meditteranean. Another im-
portant piece of evidence discovered by
‘Dr. Carpenter, is the resemblance in the
construction of the faces of the “Chats-
worth Apollo” and, the marble “lady of
Elche.” The former was found in
Smyrna, the latter in a small place near
the site of Hemeroscopeion, and both can
be connected with the Phoceans who were
very active in the silver and tin trade which
took the Greeks to Spain.
Other details of evidence support the
belief that Hemeroscopeion has been found.
Excavation would be particularly inter-
esting because there is said to have been
in the city a great temple to Artemis.

“Only insofar as we can get our young
people to have intellectual independence
is there any“hope for us,” proclaimed Dr.
Meiklejohn— in chapel_last-- Wednesday
night.
“At present the chief characteristic of
college graduates is that they do not
read.” The habit of reading and of con-
sideration of what we read, will, he be-
lieves, be taught by the new curriculum
he proposes. This curriculum will appear
in the January Century and may not be
printed until then. .
From out of the great body of literature
and ‘records, the student will discover
knowledge for himself. The teacher will
not teach; he too will study and he will
give the student the feeling of how study-
ing may be done.
“In general,” he said, before speaking of
his curriculum, “the decision about what
should be studied and how, shoukl. be
made by the faculty. They have had.ex-
perience. On-the subject of the curricu-
lum, the opinion of the students is always
interesting, sometimes important, but
never decisive. If you really want to im-
prove your college, the first thing to do is
to study.
“All members of the cornennnity shente
study the same thing, the same intellectual
piece of work. Special studies should: be
understood as phases of the common
study, which might well be: how can
America be made into a real democracy?

SELF GOVERNMENT CONFERENCE
HELD AT VASSAR LAST WEEK
‘Relation of Self Government to Educ-
ation Greatly Stressed
(Specially contributed by L. Barber, ’25,
and H. Hough, ’25, delegates to the Student
Government Conference at Vassar.)
The“annual conference of the Women’s
Intercollegiate Association for Student
Government, attended by delegates from
sixty colleges in the East.and South, was
held at; Vassar College last week-end.
The discussion in the three sessions was
general rather than specific, dealing with
the fundamental principles. of student
government. Such a discussion was, of
course, interspersed with particulars, since
the opinion ‘of each college was neces-
sarily based on its own experience. These
details were interesting from a statistical
point of view: Bryn Mawr, for example,
is the only college which does not penal-
izegby deprivation of social privileges...
_The three main headings for. the general
discussions, under which the minor topics
were grouped, were student government
in relation to education, to student opin-
ion, and to the law. Its educational value
was the subject of the opening address,
given by President Aydelotte, of ‘Swarth-
more. This topic was further discussed
by.the conference in relation to officers
and to individual members, and # was
felt, on the whole, that it was of sufficient
value to justify the large amount of time
spent upon it.
The majority of colleges have student
government, some,‘ such as Wellesley,
have joint faculty-student, while Mt. Hol-
yoke is the only representative of commu-
nity government, in which faculty, stu-
dents and employees all have a part. It
was generally felt that faculty advice and
co-operation~is desirable, but that the
methods and degree of co-operation must
necessarily differ according to the size and
individual needs of the college.

ea Ni i Saas eI on i
Be eats adie in
The services of the Alumnae. to the
college are many and important; but
perhaps they have made no greater gift
than the Music Department. Their work
, in founding it has been more fruitful than
donations of hooks to the Library, or
‘even of scholarships; for:they have made
possible the study, elementary and advanced,
of an art. No one can teny the value of
music as an art, or even as a large part
ofitrue culture. Nor can anyone who has
had really intelligent instruction in the]:
playing of an instrument or in the history
and theory of musi¢, fail to realize the
severe mental discipl’ne of music study.
Contrast, for a definite and local example,
knows or in making a useless bluff, about
material that is‘ too small to need im-
mediate correlati#f. The fact that she
has heavy work in other courses seems to
make little difference. ~Certainly « the
menace of the quiz-book should not have]
to be applied -more than twice a month.
No professor should be so weakminded
as to yield to a childish class, shouting,
“Give us a weekly quiz to make us do the
reading.” The ntental discipline of col-
lege thus. becomes a farce.
Consider one other rule of the academic
organization, required attendance at lec-
tures, with limited cuts. This is a system
of bondage for the really intelligent and
energetic student, who. should ‘earn to
trust her own discrimination and research
to a certain extent, and should have more
freedom in.her hours of study—Here the
academic mechanism lessens the possibil-
ity for -work-that-is” both: thoughtfut-ang
self-reliant, and for the growth of habits
ofereading and digesting as opposed to
the automatic taking of notes.
Can Bryn Mawr afford to force upon
its really ambitious students rules that
waste their time and militate against
niental sturdiness? Perhaps the real rea-
son why there is singing on Lantern
Night is to keep people from hearing the
ironic laughter of Pallas Athene in the
is ibrary.

In the, realm of first-class amateur sport
it is against the - qualifications for good
sportsmanship to cheer “a play” which is
solely a winning play, which. is what the
type of play pointed out® by last week’s
NEWS t@ be applauded by the sidelines,
really is.
Hockey is an amateur game of the same
standing as tennis or polo, and it is taken
for granted by the U. §. F. H. A. that only
the highest traditions of sportsmanship will
be tolerated by either players or sidelines.
That there are in Bryn Mawr students
with a crude attitude to sports and that they
have to be “hissed into silence” because they
do not understand the,finer points of good
sportsmanship may be a fact. That there

understand, and who are careful that the
effort of concentration needed in an
ordinary lecture course with that required

You can take down the words of the
professor almost automatically; but you
cannot discuss the,form, material and
characteristics of a piece of music. unless
you have listened to it intently.
- There is ees aspect of the Music
Department -for which we must express
our gratitude to the Alumnae, the eve-
nings of informal music, By giving us
the Department they have made_possible
delightful hours of singing, playing and
listening, under wise and_ stimulating
leadersh‘p. Thus music loses. the artifi-
ciality of the “concert habit” and becomes
a natural form of expression. We can
never repay the Alumnae for their service
in forwarding the growing intimacy with
“music at Bryn Mawr.
WILL AND HIS WAY | ‘
“The accession of William E. Borah
to the chairmanship of the Senate Com-
mittee on Foreign Relations marks a defi-
nife turn in the development of American
international policy,” said W. LL. Chen-
ery, in The Times for November 16.
Senator Borah stands for the recogni-
tion. of Russia. and for a Court of Inter-
national Justice; he is against dur policing
of Latin America under pretext of pro-
tecting the-ri¢hts of American. citizens.
Last December he suggested a code to
outlaw war, and a world court comparable
to the Supreme Court of the United
States.
Apparently the man of se from Idaho:
has a way with him when it comes to urg-
ing these interesting theories. His oppo-
sition is intellectual, not personal. If he
fights a policy, he fights the policy, not
the man behind it. And he isvready to
: substitute where he condemns.
‘Such a character, .and such views,
should make Senator Borah’s activities in

tion perchés are not reached for nothing.
We pay thg penalty. Our knowledge. is
too often gained at the expense of an in-
nate taste for flippancy. If at the break-
fast table of a bleak November dawn your
neighbor asks in one breath for the ban-
anas and in the next whether you are
honestly convinced Henry the Eighth’s
divorce from his first wife was valid, then
you may be sure that the lady in question
has succumbed to “barren intellectualism.
Conversation, if there must. be such at
breakfast, should be bantering in tone.
It is precisely this gift of airy persiflage
which tends to vanish in the frigid atmos-
phere of higher thinking. It is an art, no
doubt, to speak intelligently of the il‘
limitable cosmos, one from which much
pleasure may accrue. But, the art of be-
ing delicately obscepe requires even more
subtle penetratidn nd in the long run
adds more to the humdrum routine of life.
Confucianism, proportional representa-
tion, and free verse are valuable additions
‘to human thought, but more mtindane ex-
| periences such as eating and drinking
should not therefore be scorned as mere
hangovers. of our animal inheritance. If
taken in the proper spirit they often prove
delightfully, jovial pastimes—ends in
themselves from the sheer pleasure to be
derived. Therefore: the moral of all this
is, beer and skittles are not incompatible
with the higher life. Passionate love of
abstract beauty can easily go hand i in, hand
with a hearty appetite. :

be inclined to suggest that the student who

for the fun of them and the science of the

for excited, uncontrolled shrieking from the

But of more importance than the consid-

for the players of the visiting teams. We
have no right to invite teams here and then

SELF-GOVERNMENT DON FERENCE
CONTINUED. FROM PAGE 1
‘Every college which had a curriculum
committee felt emphatically that, it was
one of the most important phases of stu-
dent activity, in that it does away with
superficial fault-finding, which is ‘of ho
. benefit either to professors or students; it
crystallizes student opinion in regard to
the curriculum, thus helping the faculty
in bringing about progressive changes,
and promoting mutual understandings and
good feeling.
The difficulty encountered by many gol-
leges in arousing interest in Student Gov-
ernment (we did not tell them that we
can never get a quorum) is frequently met
.by open forums and discussion groups.
This problem is a serious one in large
colleges, where Student Government is
often considered only as it affects social
activities.
@b¢ hotior system, in relation to both
the academic and social side of student
life, evoked much discussion, and the
opinion of the conference was divided as
to whether the academic honor system
properly belongs to student governmént.
Most colleges felt that the honor system
has a community, rather than an _ indi-
vidual basis; that is, they have some pro-
vision similar to Resolution V.
We felt that on the whole, the confer-
ence was very helpful, since it was. un-
usually succegsful in keeping the discus-
sion te tundemeiital principles, which are,
—after—all;-the—onty—common ground on|
which colleges of such varied needs and
circumstances can meet. We would sug-
gest, however, that in the future a junior
be sent rather than a second senior, since
those delegates had: a distinct advantage
who had attended last year’s conference
as juniors.
NEWS’ FROM OTHER COLLEGES.
Points of Vjew on Self-Government.
The “editor of Minnesota Chats (Uni-
versity of Minnesota) says:
“Studént self-government in colleges
and “universities is a phrase often used
carelessly. Moose “references to it seem
to imply“that the student goes his own:
carefree way, the faculty and administra-
tion seizing the opportunity to drop this
burden ‘of guidance and supervision, pre-
ferring to devote themselves to study and;
instruction only. This assumption is
wrong.
“When student ‘self-government’ at the
Univetsity of Minnesota is*mentioned, the’
fact intended to be conveyed is that ther¢é
is hearty student co-operation in gover-
nance, not that there has been any abdica-
tion by those to’ whom direction of the
institution has “been delegated.
“In a university, with its relatively.
mature average student, many problems
of regulation, discipline or rearrangement
can be accomplished more readily and
with less friction if the students are al-
lowed to work out'a solution for them-
selves. Put on their mettle to deal with’
these problems, the students respond with
an idealism and a seriousness of purpose:
that speak well for the’ average standards }
of the student body.”
‘The “editor of The Michigan Alnus
writes:
“Always iwa tihiversity community the
‘administration faces the question: How
fully shall students be self-governing?
‘There: ‘is “only one answer: Students shall
‘govern themselves as fully as they can—].
‘but the authorities shall deterthine what
‘is proper conduet, for that / is the ‘business
Jof the’authorities. st
“During the. past year at st Michiigtin there
‘has been perhaps more than the usilal,
‘student insistence upon a greater ineastire
‘of “self-government. Students want "to

PRINT CLUB INVITES STUDENTS
TO LECTURE ON ETCHING
The Print Club has invited ‘the college
to a description and demonstration of
etching by’ Erhest Haskell, on Thursday
evening, November 20, at 8 o'clock, at
1614 Latimer street.
The opportunity to see an etching-préss
and ‘the process itself is welcome, be-
cause of tts unfamiliarity to the average
lover of etchings and especially when
the lecturer and demonstrator is as fine
an artist as Mr: Haskell. Doubtless
many of the college are familiar with
his work; in the treatment of trees he has
achieved remarkable effects and done
many exquisite plates. Among modern
etchers, he is one of the. exponents of
using a perfectly clean plate.

B serena went down to defeat before
‘Varsity, 1
The ie in the circle Pas: excel-
lent on the whole. The passing between
FY Jay, ’26, and D. Lee, ’25, made the ball
flash down the field despite the opposi-
tion of the Swarthmore backs.
In; the first half, Swarthmore nearly
won a goal, but B. Loines, ’28, saved it
-and carried the ball away from the danger-
point. Goal after goal was blocked by
Varsity’s stubborn backs. The stickwork
of F. Jay, ’26, was spectacular, particu-
larly when she showed a power of making
her hockéy, stick into a spoon. J. See-
ley, ’27, covered the entire back field well,
never interfering with other backs, but
always where her steadiness and tenacity
were most needed;
The line-up was: .

1926 lad good organization. The team
played well. together, | making the most of

~ each advantage, as was shown by the goal
W. Dodd, ’26, shot on the corner. The
Freshmen, who lost on their own free hits,
although fighting: hard, could not keep Dark
Blue frém piling. up a large score.
The Dark Blue forwards played excep-
tionally. ‘well, shooting a great deal. W.
Dodd,’26, made several spectacular runs,
leading the field, while F. Jay, ’26, made the
prettiest goal of the day, catching the ball on
the fly, as E. Cushman, ’26, shot it from the
wing. ty
In the second half 1928 started down the
field with the ball. A scrappy fight between
R. Elting, '28, and B. Sindall, ’26, on the
wing, Sesulted in 1926’s ‘gaining the ball,
however, and §. Walker, ’26, halfback, shot:
a goal. A long dribble and quick shot from
the circlé by F. Bethel gave the Freshmen
their most spectacular score,

SECOND TEAM GAMES
1925 v8. 1927. —
The Sophomores defeated the Seniors
z-0 in a sloppy game last Thursday.
192? played badly but 1925 played
worse, K.~Adhms, ’27, the Sophomore
goal, was the only sure-shot on the field,
though E. Brodie, .’27, scored frequently
after dribbling the ball the length of the
field. 1925 failed*to score due to the lack’
of team work between the backs and for-
wards.
At the end of the first half the score,
was 4-0.
The second half was more contested but
equally disastrous for 1925. The final
score was 7-0.

SECOND TEAM GAMES
1926 vs. 1928.
> In a stiffly-contested, though messy, game
last Wednesday, 1928 defeated 1926 by the
score of 4-3.
M. Fowler, ‘28, proved a very efficient
wing, and G. Wilson, ’28, a determined
scorer. The Junior defense was far su-
perior to the forward line. M. Fowler, ’28,
repeatedly took the ball down the field, only
to be stopped by 1926’s defense. At the end
of the first half, the score was 2-t in favor
of the Freshusen,
In the second half the teams were very
evenly matched. H. Guiterman, ’28, fre-
quently intercepted 1926’s passes, showing
herself to bea dependable back. The Fresh-
men at last gained the “edge” and the game
ended 4-3 in their favor.

DR. AMBERSON SPEAKS BEFORE
SCIENCE CLUB ON ANIMAL LIGHT
~
Mixes Shells With Water and Produces
Phosphorous-like Glow
Dr. William K. Amberson, physiologist
_of the University of Pennsylvania; spoke
n “The Nature of Animal Light’ at a
ewink of the Science Club in Dalton
Hall fast Friday.
Luminescence is found, he said, in many
small animals and fish. Some squids, all
fireflies, some worms, some small Japa-
nese shelled animals related to the lobster,
and noctiluca, a tiny one-celled animal
very et in American waters, give
forth light. cross-section of the squid
it gives out light instead of ‘receiving it.
‘Some tiny Japanese fish have lumi-
nescent bacteria in a pouch beneath their
cheek, and of these some have developed
an eyelid that can be lowered at will to
shut off the light, and others the“power of
turning the pouch around to show the
dark film inside in case of pursuit by
enemies,
Dr. Amberson described his experi-
ments with animal light in which he
mixed in water the two enzymes that seem
flash of bluish sea-gfeen, which flared up
and died down in a definite curve. He
showed slides illustrative of his experi-
ments along this line. ‘
The climax of the lecture was reached
when he ground up some small molluscs,
water, ‘the powder gave..off a gorgeous
RIGID PHILOSOPHY VALUE-
LESS, SAYS VESPER SPEAKER
“Most. of us, at some time or othér, find
it necessary to have some religion or
philosophy which we have actively. built
up,” said Barbara Ling, '25, leading Ves-
pers on Sunday.
“At such times,” said Miss Ling, “we
usually fling ourselves into discussion,
groups and feverish thought and come
out with a glibly formulated set: of ideas.
| These do work, and so we fling them)
aside and try. new ones, and at the end
are left in perplexity.
“We have too much activity, and too
little tranquillity. No time is left for ob-
serving, for. taking in outside influences.
We try to do it all ourselves—and fail.
“We do’not use what we have accom-
plished as a stepping stone to further
knowledge. --We seek final things, and-do
not realize that to be worth while philos-
ophy must be. flexible, must be growing,
in a state of perpetual flyx. A set and
rigid thing apes complete knowledge and
cannot possibly attain it. Therefore it
defeats its own end.”
BOOK REVIEW
“The Old Ladies,” Hugh Walpole, Doran. |
Few writers could concentrate a reader’s
interest: on figures as sordid or pathetic
as those of three old ladies in equally
sordid circumstances.
Yet Mr. Walpole has known how to
bring out the high lights of his ‘tarnished
characters so successfully that their inter-
play provides absorbing interest. Agatha
Payne, one of the three old ladies, shows
decidedly vivid_peculiarities, it is true. She
has shed any pessible refinement with the
years and remains with only the primal in-
stincts of some full-blooded ancestry. The
result of the urge made by these instincts
on her and:on the other two discreetly or-
thodox old ladies furnishes some remark-
ably dramatic scenes. * OF these, that, in
which Agatha Payne foretells by the cards
and with a calculating cruelty the death of
a cowering spinster, remains in the mind
with a persistence the more extraordinary
because of the simplicity of ‘the elements
which make it up.
The beauty of this narrative lies in its
simplicity and perfect unpretensiousness.
At the end as at the beginning one finds a-
credible combination of sadness and happi-
ness. Mr. Walpole’s art is essentially
well balanced. He writes simply, of life
and people as he understands them; with
too much’ insight for unfailing optimism
and too much sympathy for deliberate
CHARACTER OF NEW AGE HANGS -
ON OUR VISION SAYS DR. LAKE
Development of Immaterial Side of
Life is Our Responsibility
“Because we are passing into a new age,
we must femember to keep awake and
watch for the things that are worth tak-
ing with us into, it,” saal Dr. Kirsopp
Lake, Professor of Ecclesiastical History
at Harvard, in chapel last Sunday evening.
“A vital equilibrium between material
and immaterial things is the ideal to be-
sought.” Of material things, Dr.
affrmed, the world has aplenty. Of im
material things, there are not enough.
“We run. the danger of becoming
grossly’ material, instead of comfortably
material...We-should— not, however, cut-
down on those comforts; they are on the
whole for the good... Instead we should
develop ‘the immaterial: side of life as a:
counterpoise,”
At present, he feels, our only excuse for
synicism.—H. G.

Scholarship Raised by Close Scrutiny.
With scholastic standards of the Uni-
_ versity of Washington higher’ than those
of most institutions of its size, every ef-
fort is being made to encourage. students
to meet the. requirements imposed upon
them by the faculty.
'*'To carry: out this policy the Dean, of
Men has completed the organization of
a Personnel Officers’ Conference, which
has hada: notable effect in improving
scholarship.
The object is to carry to the sancti
- line student—the student who has low
grades and is in danger of failure—the
benefit of the encouragement and advice
of the older students. “Lhe meni in frater-
‘nities and other organized houses are
reached through personnel officers chosen
by their organizations. Nonfraternity
border-line students are reached through
honorary scholarship societies.
Every organized house at the univer-
stiy, with one exception, has a personnel] |.
officer. These officers are organized into
the Personnel Officers’ Conference. , . -
Each officer is responstble for the
scholarship standing of his house.
Beside informing men as to the various
rules concerning scholarship, other means
of raising grades include the adoption of
supervised study tables, refusal of social
dates for. men who have low marks and
special coaching for men in danger of
failure. Scholarship cups are offered as
an incentive to work for higher grades.

How can it be that Sidonie remains thus

and yet with us in everything? Every

more or less stayed matron. Her twin
sister Coralie is the proud mother of two
divorces. But Sidonie is with us still,
unmarried by choice, charming and ever

her how she did it. She answered: “Joe, I
