REY PLAYS EXITING CYRANO

Audience Large and Enthusiastic in
Spite of Drifts

Duelling and mincing by turns, Mlle.
Maude Rey gave a reading of Cyrano de
Bergerac in Taylor Hall last Wednesday
night.

There were no sets and Mlle. Rey, in
costume, was the only actor. As Cyrano,
in léather
boots, fighting duels, making love, and
reading poetry, interpreting the gay and
energeti¢ hero that he was. The cadet’s
cloak and felt hat, with its gallant
panache, were thrown aside for Roxanne’s
rendezvous at the pastry cook’s, and Mlle.
Rey swished and trilled in the best pre-
cieuse style. In the gimness of the bal-
cony scene, she used her voice alone to





showed remarkable power in being’ able to
charaacterize the whole cast wee the
usual aid of scenery.

The reading was in French, and in very
beautifule French. But the laughter and
applause of the audience on Wednesday
night was for joy in the playing as well
as the French.

_ Mile. Rey, who was a_ student of
Jacques Coppeaus, is in New York now.

TO BE, AND WHAT TO BE,
THAT IS THE QUESTION

¢

Security of Teaching Still Attracts

Women from Business

“How. about finding the right, kind of
a job?” was the question Miss Emma P,
Hirth set herself to answer in chapel
Wednesday morning, February 10th.

Miss Hirth, a graduate of Smith Col- |
lege, is the head of the Bureau of Voca-
tional Information, situated at I West
47th Street, New York City. She is con-
sidered the best authority in the country
in that field. The Bureau has made various
investigations concerning the conditions
of women in different vocations such as
Law and Banking. It has recently. in-
vestigated the situation of the married
woman in business.

Enumerating the factors which count in
the choice of students, Miss Hirth said
that chance played too large’a part. Stu-
dents take whatever happens to turn up,
instead of considering whether they are
really interested in the field and whether
they are fitted for that type of position.

Students, moreover, are apt to con-
sider the type of .job rather than the pro-
fession as such. The glaring example of
this is of course the executive position.
Students, having been in charge of various
activities in college, decide that they have
executive ability and want to “run things,”
it does not much matter what.

Instead. of thinking of the: maximum
salary to be derived from a certain field,
the student is too apt to be governed by
the first salary. The result is equally ob-
vious and unfortunate.

WORLD PEACE TAUGHT BY
OLD TESTAMENT PROPHETS



For Us to Carry Out Vision That Failed
in Their Time —

Miss Margaret Brackenbury Crook,
Professor of Biblical Literature at Smith,
spoke on “Peace Messages from the Pro-
phets” in chapel, Sunday evening, Febru-
ary 14.

“The Old Testament was full of “wars
because it had to be. Palestine was -the
It has
always been held by an alien power, and,
even down into our times and the last war,
has been the battle ground for opposing-
armies.” From this constant fighting
grew a desire for peace, and peace came to
be regarded as holy. “The great prophets
condemned international strife and
preached a gospel of decent behavior be-
tween man and man, and man and God.”

Isaiah was the first of these teachers. He
lived in Jerusalem, which was usually
free from attack because of its inaccessi-
bility, where his religious imagination had
full play. He counselled the rulers to keep
their word even if it was to an inferior
country, This was a new idea in a world
where the most powerful ruled. Jerusa-
lem was to rule in a new way, the way
make no alliances, but if they did, to keep

to be missionaries, armed with persuasion.
This vision failed because it was based on
a theocracy the rest of the world would
not accept. The reaction was towards a

REALITY BEHIND UFE IS:
MODERN VIEW OF GOD

Everything Cannot be Result of
Blind Force Working on Inert
Matter Says Dr. Gilkey

CRISIS

“The Conception
and of the Blessed Trinity has been
abandoned,” said. the Reverend ‘James
Gordon Gilkey, of the South Congrega-
tional Church, Springfield, Massachusetts,
speaking in Taylor Hall on Throne
evening, February 11th,

In every period of history men have
been in disagreement about the idea of
God, and today it is again the paramount”
issue. The three other great elements in
religion we are comparatively agreed upon
—its system of ethics, the theory of the
usefulness of the church, and the beauty
of the figure of Christ; but the concep-
tion of the Godhead has changed with the
changing Spirit of the Age. Today the
doctrine of God. the Father, the Son, and
the Holy Ghost, and the doctrine ofan
anthropomorphic Father have given way
to the idea of a Reality-Behind-Life, the
scientist’s conception of the “power-not-
ourselves - that - makes - for - Righteous-
ness.”

“Our generation,” said Dr. Gilkey,
facing’ ‘one of the most momentous crises
in religious history; nothing has been
worked out in detail, but it is certain that
some of our friends will become the phil-
osophers and theologians who will formu-
late the new conception of God. As Dr.
Leuba maintains, the fact that the God
who works miracles and wonders has
been disproved does not mean that there
is no God.” Dr, Gilkey went on to define
the modern philosopher’s idea of God by
juoting from Dr. Kirsopp Lake’s Religion
of Yesterday and Tomorrows

“Life. presents itself as a great web
which is slowly coming from the loom,

VARSITY DEFEATS BALTIMORE
IN FIRST GAME OF SEASON



Hard, Fast Playing By Both Teams
Final Score is 27-20

Varsity defeated the Baltimore Mid-
géts; 27-20, in the first basketball game
of the season on Saturday morning, Feb-
ruary 13. Baltimore made the first goal,
but Varsity soon drew ahead, and at the
half, the score stood 13-6. During the
second half, Bryn Ma slowed down,
and Baltimore made sbheidl quick goals
in succession, nearly evening the score. *
Varsity braced up and Bryn Mawr again
breathed freely.

The game was very fast and the ball’
was kept flying up and down the court,
never long in the hands of either team.
While the passing was swift, it was not
very accurate, and there was a good
deal of fumbling.

Though neither B. Loines, ’28, nor EF.
Musselman, '26, forwards, made Varsity
last year, they played neatly, quickly and
accurately together. They failed to watch
their guards closely enough.

The lineup was as follows:

Bryn mawt—F Musselman, ’26, 1, 2,
2, 1-1/3 2, 2,8: B. Lomes, 28, 2, 2,2, 2,

“DIED FOR PURITY”

The corpse was: found ugder Rocke-
feller Tower just after sunset. Beside it
lay a little pink gingham dress such as
a bride might buy at Macy’s for the
spring house-cleaning. season. Piled on
the dress were a pair of forceps, a scalpel,
a cake of Physicians and Surgeons soap,
and a crimson bandanna. In the hand of
the corpse there was a piece of writing
paper, stamped with the college crest and
bearing these words: :

“I did it for purity—tomorrow is the
dogfish.” . —

ATHLETICALLY SPEAKING

It is popularly conceded by those who
set the fashion for-theories that “imita-
tion is the greatest form of flattery.”
Hence, we are again guilty of flattering
the great American redskin—nor has
James Fenimore Cooper anything to do
with our new attitude of deference. This
time we have turned from our considera-
tion of the proverbial warpath to a more
careful examination’ of its sister ally, the
field of sport.

And here we find ourselves indebted
to the vanishing Americans; for it is,
thanks to their invention, that the present
game of Lacrosse exists. When the
French missionaries plunged into the early
wilderness, they. found that their native
warriors got in trim for scalping parties
by practising a strange ball game in which
the ball was thrown from leather pockets
attached to bent sticks. Having presented
the Indians with religion and rum, they
took unto themselves this new sport,
which, by reason of the implements, they
called Lacrosse. And so it is that this,
our most modern of modern games, is,
like most of our modern dancing, merely
a hark-back to the primitive.

FUTURE DE STAELS

Gird at it though we may, there is
something in the Group Mind Idea—
something which Mr. Canby acknowl-
edged when. he advocated the formation
of a literary circle in New York. He was
not thinking of a society like the Eliza-
bethan Assembly of Antiquarians, nor
even of the Spottiswoode, Bannatyne and





““Roxburghe Clubs; -he-simply meant, a set

of writers, critics and persons interested
in literature, who should know each other,
and, by excluding. as many second-rate
minds as possible, maintain a high stand-
ard of jousnalism and literature. For, as
things work out in this world, sheer ex-
cellence is not appreciated when it stands
alone; there must be a recognized meas-
ure of value to which it can be compared,
and the endorsement of those with pres-
tige is nearly always necessary to launch
even a masterpiece. ;
A group holding this power of life and
death has only existed once in America,
in Boston: at the time of Emerson, and
‘Mr. Canby pleads for its renewal in New
York. It is a sign of a normal social

order when, over and above the Smart
Set, there stands the elect coterie, the

House again if. behalf of the National
Women’s Party? For the warpath has
been resumed. In revolt against, man’ in
general and man-made legislation in particu-
lax, irate womankind has taken the bull by
the\ horns ‘and demanded equality—in. in-
dustty at least. If mere man is allowed to

$ shovel’ coal, drive taxis or operate subways,

why shauld these privileges be denied to
the alleged fairer sex?

In this héctic economical struggle, where-
in it is vaguely believed that only the fittest
survive, what kight have a few prejudiced
elders to lay down hard and fast“rules for
feminine strugglérs? Let the’ .mid-Vic-
torians shudder ; let the die-hard conserva-
tives gloomily predict a future generation
of ditch digging women, As usual, they have
missed the point. Ball\gowns are not in
danger of being laid aside\for overalls—-but
independence is a priceless ‘asset.

BOOK REVIEW.
- The Diary of a Young Lady of Fashion
in the Year 1764-1765, by Cleone Knox,
Edited by her kinsman, Alexander. Black-
er Kerr. Tornton, Butterworth, London,
1925. x

Cleone Knox was gay and casual, and
possessed of an entertaining fund of good
sense. -A pair of lovely Irish eyes, in ad)
dition to these qualities, helped her to en-
joy a season in London, and the Grand
Tour in the winter of ’65.



Cleone, in red velvet and white lace
caught up with blue love knots, was en-
tertained at fine parties in London, and
visited clateaux in France, and in the
carnival season at Venice she went down
the Grand Canal in a gondola trimmed
with jessamine, hearing barcarolles and
serenades.

‘These are notes for a few April eve-
nings in the young lady’s usual vein: —
“April 23rd.

To a party given by some of the noble
ladies here. There being only females,
and no gentlemen present, we drank our
chocolate on the roof of the Palazzo, fore-
told the future with cards and exchanged
gossip.

The Benes M cannot, it appears,
retain her lovers because... The ladies
threw off all discretion and talked of their
own love. affairs, most freely. I heard
things I could scarcely write down. This
is indeed a gallant and loose city. I be-
lieve that poor Nanette and self are wi
only virtuous females in Venice.

in the Piazzetta. He begged me most

He swears on

a turn up the Grand Canal—which he
declares is excessively beautiful by moon-
light. He promises that it shall be ar-
ranged with utter secrecy, and that Papa
shall know nothing of it. 4

ing and Terrible Adventure. My Imagi-
nation inflamed, and my Prudence over-

quest of my Beau. Attired myself in mask

Met my gallant as arranged in the little
court behind this place. He embraced me



to his gondola when the air was rent by
a fearful scream: There was a curse, a
splash and a gurgle, and a gondola sped
by us in the narrow canal—in it a young
female struggling for dear life. Perceivea
by the moonlight, to my Indescribable
Horror, the corpse of a young man float-
ing face downwards in the canal! I
uttered a Shriek, we heard the sound of
running footsteps, whereupon my Friend
throwing his cloak over me whispered:

lectual parent of the lady. If so, he is to

THERE'S MY EDUCATION



New Republic, February
10, 1926)

This morning, quite by chance, I happened
on my education. 1 was looking for some-
thing entirely different—a_bundle_of fools-
cap, I think it was, {that priceless posses-
sion.) —when I opened \a drawer and there
was my education. It was neatly stowed
away, course by course, With the. label on
each. “This is Mathilda's doing,” I thought
to myself, and smiled. Mathilda has a re-
spect for education, never having had any.
She believes in it. For that matter, I
thought, as I looked at those neat bundles
of notes, so do I. It’s a fine thing to have
an education. I took mine out a d began
to look it over. fs

The first package was labelled aac
English II. It began with Shakespeare. I
surveyed the list of plays by periods Wit ith
some satisfaction. I had known that once,
and all the sources too. They were more
pat in my head than the Lord’s prayer th
‘morning I went in to the examination.

(Reprinted f rom

Turning a lump. of pages, I arrived at the I

Romantic Movement. “Classicisfa and Ro-
manticism,” I read, “are two ways of taking
life. One makes for certain sorts of things
and other for other—(a)—(b)—.” I had
once known which sorts of things Roman-
ticism made for, and vice-versa. I still know
that everything Classic is bad, and every-
thing Romantic is good. The professor was
at such pains to make that’ clear that the
impression still remains. I forget now why
it is, but that is not important. The value
of an education is that it gives you. sound
opinions like this to stand on—maxims, one
might call them, which La Rochefoucauld
says are crutches for the weak minded. But
it is an art to walk with crutches; only a
trained mind can do it, It is a distinction
‘of the educated, like walking with a cane.
Unfortunately Genera} English II stopped
with the Victorians, so beyond Stevenson
I have never walked very secure. I have
to lean there merely on what I like,

I fell next to turning over the pages
marked Major History. There I found re-
carded the conversion of St. Augustine.

- (1) Became infl. by Ambros¢—figurative
interp. old Test.

() Inf, also by books of Platonic Pil-|



ed | osophy.



History, thought I to myself, is the most
dramatic and human study in-the curriculum, -
and I turned a page and came upon a list
of twenty dates. In the margin was a
modern date, embellished with exclamation
points. “Emily was pretty, but really too
plump at a prom,” I mused, as I turned from
the Results of the Investiture. Struggle to
the Causes of the Hundred Years’ War.

I glanced at Minor Biology. This is not
a part of my education I should care to re-
call, even if I could: It is enough that |
have had it. The facts of mitotic and ami-
deposit of opinions which suffice for my
biologic needs, “After all,” I can say to
Mathilda, and clinch any argument from
milk to ants’ eggs, “T have studied wats
and you haven't.”

Biology belongs to the amoebic sciences.
There are, as I observed in college, but two
proper starting points for a course in any
liberal subjict; Aristotle and the amoeba.
I should have no confidence in a course
which did not begin with one of them, for it
is certain that there is no act, fact or fancy
in the world which hasn’t been defined by
the one or exhibited in its rudiments by the
other. Aristotle and the amoeba are the
twin legs of learning. Without them it
could neither stand nor advance.

That is why philosophy and psychology
are. such.sound studies... They. refer con-
stantly to both. I picked. up the notes to
these two courses with affection. [ rémem-
bered with pleasure the conundrum about the
field mice—if the mother mouse eats wheat,
and then produces young, ‘do the young
mice get their souls from the wheat, or—
I forget how it goes. But at any rate there’s
the one about somebody’s ass and the hay-

stacks. Of one thing I am quite sure, and

that is that there is no freedom of the will,
for I once wrote a thesis to prove this and
got ninety-eight on it. I am also water-
totic division, of the difference between an
eighteen-hour chick and a sixty-three-hour
chick, have ebbed from my mind, and I do .
not regret them. They have left a mineral
tight on psychology. I can pish and pshaw
with anybody at poor Mr. McDougall, and
misguided Professor Bergson; I know that
there is no such thing as separate instincts ;
that the Elberfeld horses most certainly
did not exhibit reason; that what is wrongly
called consciousness is nothing but the sum
of ‘all existing stimuli at any given moment.
Have I not read Watson from cover to
cover ?*@Have I admitted that I didn’t find
a word I could understand in the whole
book? When I am seventy I shall say as
complacently as I now do—“that’s all very
well, but I’m a Behaviorist, you know.” _.
Where will Watson be then, poor: thing?
It doesn’t matter. Like Max Beerbohm, I
shall fail to keep pace with other leaders
of thought as they pass into oblivion. But
shall never be unfaithful to my education.
I open another bundle of notes. “Preuves
de la these,” I read, with a pretty little
diagram and a list of arguments to prove
that\ the manuscript 0 of the Chanson de
Roland is the most authentic of all, O rare
anne The Chanson de Roland will
never be to me the mere poem it is to other
people. [ shall think gf the manuscript 0,
and the \seven violations of the rules of
assonance, \ and the _preuves de la these that
I once could write in French, An aura of
mediaeval universities is all around me.

_ The list of\ required reading in economics
begins with a\hearty assignment out of Ar-
istotle, so that’s all right. As I turned
through these yoluminous ‘notes I sighed.
There are few people who do not sigh over
economics, In it is odd that the closer -
a subject lies to the common mattters of life,
the more abstract the study of it be-
come. When I consider that the price of
my poached egg at breakfast it determined
at the point where the declining line of mar-
ginal utility cuts the rising line of costs of
production, it takes my appetite away. That
once I could draw the diagram, or even -

not, to an infinitely complicated but sym-
metrical plan which, and, here is the para®
doxical tragedy, they can only see in the
web which has been already woven; but
they know that whether what they weave
will remain or nof depends upon its being
in accord with the pattern.”

Speaking personally of his own faith,
Dr. Gilkey gave three reasonaM@r his be-
lief in the Reality Behind Life: The pur-
posefulness of the ‘Evolutionary Process,
the evident progress of the human race,
and the amount of sheer goodness in
human kind. He finds it inipossible to
conclude. that all phenomena are the re-
sult of blind force working on inert matter ;
imperative to believe in “something like
our mind, only infinitely greater,” which
stands at the heart of life.

“The riddle of existence is just about
as great for the modern scientist as it
ever was,” Dr. Gilkey concluded.. “We
are all on the verge of an era of new spec-
ulations which may more nearly approxi-
mate the true conception of the Godhead;
indeed, we can never go beyond the stage
of regarding It as a Major Probability.
Modern Spiritualism: and Idealism both
agree that the ultimate reality is mental
and spiritual, impassable and infinite.”

Dr. Gilkey recommended several mo-
dern books on religion:

The Fitness of the Environment—Hen-
derson, ;

A Student’s Philosophy of Religion—
W. J. Wright.

” The Religion of Yesterday and To-
morrow—Kirsopp Lake.

GOD IS BROADCASTING STATION
WE ARE THE RECEIVING SETS



In Doctor Gilkey’s View of Life, People
God’s Agents in World



“The Place of God in: Our Lives” was
the subject of the second*of two lectures

given by the Reverend . James, Gordon
Gilkey, of the South Congregatiomal
Church, Springfield, Massachusetts, At

the college on Friday evening, February
12. He carried over the assumption that
there is a God from his lecture on the
preceding night. : :

Dr. Gilkey asked three questions: “How
do we conceive of this other reality, God?”
“Can we believe that God exerts any in-
fluence on our ‘lives?” ~- “If there is- atiy
influence, what is it?” @

God bears the same relation to the
universe as the spirit, soul—call it what
you will—bears to the physical organism
of the body. He is the immaterial reality
of the world, and, as such, cannot be lo-
calized. He permeates everything.

“Assuming that there is this reality in
which we live and move and have our being,
can we believe that there is a connection
with us, that Ged is in touch with us?”
Dr. Gilkey answered this question by
saying that if there is a God and He can-
pot do anything, religion will go to pieces.
His theory is that God is “forever and
always trying to give us all that He can
of inspiration, help, and ideas.” The five
doorways through which He enters into
our being are our sense of beauty, intel-
lect, moral sense, ideals, and spirit of self-
sacrifice.

Comparing this mechanism to a fadio
set, Dr. Gilkey said that at times God
rcould “get through” much better than at
other times, and that this fluctuation was
due not to faults in the broadcasting
station, God, where the sending was al-
ways equally good, but to differences in
the réceptivity of the receiving set. Our
receptivity depends on our moods and the

ceeds. in “getting through,” and putting
an idea into our minds. Emerson had
this idea when he wrote that “the great
crises of life are on quiet afternoons, at
the turn of the road, when new ideas filter
into consciousness.”

* God does not, cannot change the phys-
ical universe, but He does influence

tive condition. He works. through this
agency to accomplish what He wants in
the world. Unless people are receptive,
He is powerless. And this answers the
third question.

Speaking of the-modern view of prayer,
Dr. Gilkey saide “Prayer does not change
God, nor the physical universe, nor other
people. It is the way by which we in-

|crease our receptivity of God’s influence.

Most of the prayers in churches are a
very foolish sort of. oratio obliqua, de-
tailing the events of the week or flatter-
ing God.” Prayer may be reading a book,
standing by the sea, or playing the piano.

Dr. Gilkey believes that the individual
is immortal and that we continue our lives
in some other world, where we go on

from the point where we left off in this.
According to this theory, “God is con-
stantly creating new personalities, some
of which stream t@#ward our world and
take their individuality from the window
of our’spirit.” This carries out the analogy
that the personality is like a beam of light
colored by the stained glass window of a
cathedral. ‘i

Expressed in its simplest terms the
“oospel of modernism is that God is an
available source of help and What He can
do for us is in direct proportion to our
effort to get to Him. That is why the
religion of the future will develop along
an attempt to find ways which will create
a hfgher co-efficient of human receptive-
ness.



| COLLEGE HELPS DETERMINE

VOCATION, SAYS MI§S HIRTH

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Miss Hirth said that she had found that
girls were’ drawn-into teaching because
of the element of security. -It was not
that they especially desired to teach, but
that they regarded it as a safe proposi-
tion~as so much life insurance. . Miss
Hirth compared this attitude with that
of men and found that this condition did
not exist with them although they had
more responsibility.

Girls, furthermore, follow occupational
fads—just now it is international affairs.

“Motivation,” said Miss Hirth, “also
counts indetermining the choice-of the
student.” -The Bureau recently studied
the conditions of secretarial work and
found that there was more contentment
there than in other groups just because
of this factor. The secretary felt that she
was really helping things on, that she was
of service to the community.

. “There ought, however, to be only one

factor which -counts in the student’s
choice,” continued Miss -Hirth, “a pro-
found interest and love of the subject.
College is the place to discover the fields
of intellectual interest. %n broad terms,
major along the lines of your later ac-
tivity.” 2

Miss Hirth urged the use of aiding fac-
tors on the campus. The grouping of
subjects in the catalogue shows what sub-
jects go together. Professors and instruc-
tors, although naturally authorities. in
their particular field, Miss Hirth found
little used as advisors by the students.
She said that visitors were the ones who
most needed to be checked up. Unless
the students correlated the facts, they
were apt to become biased. She also
cautioned students about the advice of
fellow students, and urged each individual
to make her own decision, and then to
get the backing of her parents early in
the game. reo A °

Professional training is increasingly re-
quired. In some fields, such as law, it is
difficult for women to obtain the best
training. Harvard and Columbia, the two
best law schools in tke country, are both
closed to women: In-Law, . therefore,
women suffer adoublé handicap, sex arf
lack of training. Second rate schools, on
the other hand, are beckoning to women
with every inducement. “In any. case,”
said Miss Hirth, “the best training is’ none
too good. Therefore, first consider
whether training is required in the par-
ticular line you are choosing, and then
get the best.”

As a final warning, Miss Hirth caution-
ed students against mere experiment. “It
is best to decide early. There is too much
occupational vagabondage.”

SENIOR’S’ DEFEAT JUNIORS
IN WATER POLO SERIES



Two Decisive Victories for Dark Blue
, Follow Tie.

A tie was the result of the first water
polo’ game between the teams of 1926
and 1927 played on Monday, February 8.4
’27 took the lead almost immediately,
scoring three goals during the first half.
Then /26 improved amazingly, and al-
though their opponents played an even,
steady game, they were unable to keep



the seniors from bringing the score up to
a tie, 5-5. J. Seeley was the mainstay of the
_ junior team, not only holding the backline
together, but on several occasions swim-
ming up to shoot neat goals. P. Brown
and G. Thomas accounted for most of
the senior’s goals, playing swiftly and ac-
curately, relafing F. Jay’s long shots.

1926—V. Cooke, P. Brown, G. Thomas,
H. Rodgers, F. Jay,-E. Harris, A. John-
ston.

Lineup, 1927—F. Thayer, C. Chanfbers,
B. Pitney, E. Morris, J. Seeley, E. Haines,
A. Johnston, G. Schof.

Exciting, though scrappily played, the
second game of the series on Thursday,
February 11, resulted in victory 5-4 for
the seniors. In the first half the shots
were often pretty, and neither team seem-
ed definitely to surpass the other. But
during the last hectic minutes the playing
became increasingly messy and the shots
wild. G. Thomas and P. Brown broke
through ’27’s backs for shot after shot,
and the junior forwards seemed to lack
just that ounce of strength needed to put
the ball through.

Lineup, 1926—V. Cooke, P. Brown, G.
-Thomas, H. Rodgers, F. Jay, E. Harris,
A. Johnston.

Lineup, 1927—F. Thayer, (Adams) C.
Chambers, (E. Brodie) B. Pitney, E.
Morris, J. Seeley, E. Haines, (M. Brooks)

G. Schoff. “a

Even playing characterized the begin~
ning of the third game on Monday, Feb-
ruary 15, which was to result in a decisive
victory, 6-4 for the seniors. The teams
scored alternately in the first few minutes;
then ’26 suddenly spurted ahead and main-
tained the lead. The juniors started out
resolutely in the second half, but were
unable to keep it up. The senior backs
were particularly effective, A. Johnston

on the’goal stopping practically all throws

‘which got past them. J. Seeley was, as

before, the star of the junior team, play-
ing all over the field, and sending the ball
again and again pp to the senior’s goal.

Lineup, 1926—V. Cooke, P. Brown, G.
Thomas, H. Rodgers, E. ‘Tatnall,. E.
Nichols, A. Johnston. ;

Lineup, 1927--B. Pitney, C. Chambers,
E. Morris, M. Brooks, J. Seeley, E.
Haines, G. Schoff.



DARK BLUE FIRST TEAMS
TRIUMPH OVER RED

Desperate Fighting of Freshmen Fails to
Break Lead.

Messy and inaccurate was the gamie
played between first teams of the fresh-
men and the sophomores on Monday,
February 8. Though the result was 3-1 in
favor of the blue team, the game seemed
very even at first. Courageous and steady
playing characterized the freshmen, yet
they could not catch up after the lead
attained by their’ opponents,’ largely
through the hard and fast playing ot A,
Bruere in the back line. Neither team
showed up to their full advantage*ter-
cellent work being done only by A. Dal-
ziel, 29, and A. Bruere, ’28.

The lineup was: 1928—E. Mé&rgan, -M.
Gaillard, E. Stewart, A. Bruere, J. Hud-
dleston, F. Rhein, (H. Yandell) J.. Stet-
son.

1929—E. Bryant, R. Wills, A. Eschner,
J. Garrett, A. Dalziel, E..Boyd, C. Swan.

A decisive victory, 9-5, finished the series
in favor of the sophomores on Thursday,
February 11.-°29 began spectacularly with
an immediate goal made by A. Dalziel.
But then ’28 woke up and took the of-
fensive, outplaying their opponents in
every particular. They swam constantly
around 1929, who fought desperately, but
were ineffectual. The game was, on the
whole, confused, splashy and messy, with
no striking throws. The blue team won
through superior teain work and superior
handling of the ball, while ’29 seemed to
lack strength, though not resolution.

Tuttle, K. Field, H. Gaillard, A. Bruere,
J. Huddleston, J. Stetson.

1929—E. Bryant, R. Wills, A. Eschner,
J. Garrett, V. Buel, A. Dalziel, E. Boyd,
M. Jay, C. Swan..

CANBY AND MISS SERGEANT
LEAD JOURNALISM CONFERENCE

Dr. Henry Seidel Canby, editor of The
Saturday Review, and Miss’ Elizabeth
Shipley Sergeant, writer and Bryn. Mawr
alumna, conducted a conference on jour-
nalism for stydents interested in writing as
a profession, at the President’s House last

Saturday évening.

“Know what you want to do, be honest
with yourself,” Dr. Canby advised. Whether
you wish to write tabloid newspapers for
the seventy-five thousand stenographers who
come down town in New York every morn-

ing, or literature, be sure of your aim and |

never confuse high standards of art with
low. There is no lack of opportunity for
the writer today, according to Miss Sergeant
and Dr. Canby; there is no good author
in the country who is not being published.
Financial returns for. intelligence and for
skill are large, both in the publishing business
and in writing. In the former, women are
much needed, especially in the work of ad-
vertising a book that is being published
and following it carefully through the press.
On magazines such as Dr. Canby’s. own. re-
view, women as associate editors are in-
valuable for their efficiency and skill in the
management of details. In the field of popu-
lar science writing, science for the layman,
there is.today a wonderful opportunity for
the trained worker who knows a great: deal
about science, and can write better than the
average professional scientist.
