SELF-GOVERNMENT MEETING
CHANGES IMPORTANT RULES
Recommends’ That Students Be
Allowed Theatre at Night
Unchaperoned
RESOLUTION THREE ALTERED
Motions on going to the theatre and
motoring at night unchaperoned were
passed at a meeting of the Self-Govern-
ment Association on January 16. Resolu-
tion 3 was altered and a change was made
inthe list-of -hotéls,.._.
Three or more students may go to the
theatre at night unchaperoned, with the
exception of the Walnut Street Theatre
and the Chestnut Street Opera House.
Freshmen are to get special permission
This is an exception to an Original Reso-
lution and so will have to be passed again,
and then submitted to the Board of Trus-
tees.
"Students may motor at night unchaper-
oned provided they have a definite destina-
tion and return directly to. College. Ar-
rangement will be made for signing the
destination and time of return.
, Resolution 3, empowering the Executive
Board .to, “require testimony, from any
member of the Association, and to inflict
a penalty for refusal to testify except in
cases. where for gbod and sufficient rea-
sons it shall see fit to excuse the witness,”
was changed to read that in exceptional
cases, the Board be empowered to ask for
' testimony.
The motion to make an exception to the
rule against drinking fermented beverages
was. withdrawn, as it involves the Federal
Law, anfl any. rule allowing it would be
lowering the standards of Self-Govern-
ment. se

LEWIS F. PALEN RECOUNTS
STORY OF Y OF WHITE DEVIL
“Beasts, Men and
Speaks to. History Class
Tssidiioe 0
Gods ”
Speaking informally at a Minor History
class last Thursday, Mr. Lewis F. Palen told
the story of a Russian adventurer whom
he designated as the “White Devil of the
Black Sea.’ Mr. Palen is the: translator
of -Beasts, Men and. Gods, and Man and
Mystery in Asia, which has just been pub-
_ lished. The story which he briefly outlined
is being published in New York this
spring.
/ Mr. Palen stopped. at Bryn Mawr on his
way to. France. He had With him the
-sword of the “White Devil,” which had been
lost when he was captured by the~ Bol-
~_< sheviki, and been found six weeks ago in
Detroit; Michigan. The sword had been
originally carried for twenty years by
~Shamyl, the Mohammedan leader of ' two
~ large Caucasian tribes, who had waged a
. long guerilla. warfare fighting for the free-
dom of the Caucasus against Russia’ After
the Crimean war, during which he was a
_ French ally, his surrender was compelled.
- Refusing to give up his sword to the off-
cer who captured him, he was taken to
_ the commander -in-general, where he hand-
ed -it over “with pride to anyone who}
could beat him.” This sword finally came
into the hands of the “White Devil.”

COMMITTEE DISCUSSES PLANS. |
FOR SUMMER SCHOOL
Students Raise Money for Budget by
Entertainment and Dances
Specially contributed by Miss Hilda Smith
Director of-the Summer School.
‘The Executive Committee of the Sum
| mer, Schgol_ met for an all-day session, last
Saturday, with a large proportion of its
nembers present. As this meeting took
the place this year of the second meeting
of the Joint Administrative Committee it
was an especially important one.
Reports from every district show that
many of the former students of the Schoo
are enrolled in winter classes and are work-
ing with*the local committees to find new
candidates and to raise scholarships, Appli
cations have begun to come in for the Sum
mer School of 1924 and these applicants
have been advised to study at home for
the next three months, if- suitable classes
can be found. The Alumnae have organ:
ized in each district, with the former fac-
ulty of the School inclutled as fraternal
members. The New York group, as a re-
sult of a dance -for the scholarship fund.
has raised $150 toward the new budget
In New England, Philadelphia and Chi-
cago, preparations are under way for
similar dances or entertainments.
Appointments for faculty and staff this
summer were discussed by the Executive
Committee, but as the list is not yet com-
plete, the final announcement cannot be
gublished until later.
I'he Committee reconsidered the question
of having a one month’s course for women
leaders insthe labor movement. The Com
mittee decided that we could not judge
whether or not such a plan would be prac.
tical until we knew how many women
would be interested to spend a mdhth in
intensive study. It was decided that a
-horough canvass should be made of. all
tabor organizations, and that if the results
justified it, such a course should be con-
sidered for another year.
Denbigh and Merion Halls, with a wing
of Pembroke-East, will be used this sum-
mer as before by the School. It was hoped
that Pembroke might be used because of
the greater convenience of dining room
and pantries, and for the sake of having
the whole School under one roof. This
plan still seems impractical because of the
impossibility of using the’ Pembroke ele-
vator during the summer when the power
house is not running.
The Committee discussed the possibility
of securing a fund which will provide a
scholarship each year for one of the former
students of the School to do: advanced
work either inthis country or abroad. It
was felt that such a scholarship open each
year to the whole group of Alumnae would
stimulate interest in further study, and
prove a real contribution to workers’ edu
cation.

MEMORIAL SERVICES. HELD...
IN TAYLOR ON FRIDAY
President Parks Reads Statements on
Death of T. D. Dudley, ’26
A short memorial service was held in
Taylor Hall, on Friday, February 1, for
Trevania D. Dudley, ’26. President Park
read the following statement, written by
her wardens-and fellow students:
“On Saturday, January 26, 1924, Tre-
vania Dallas Dudley, of the class of 1926,
died in the Bryn Mawr Hospital. She
was eighteen years old at the time of her
death. Of these eighteen years, the greater
part had been passed. at-her-home—in Nash-
ville, three at Rosemary Hall and one and
one-half at Bryn Mawr College:
“Most of us here knew her only in that
last year and a half. From her home in
Tennessee she brought to the College a
vividness peculiar to ‘herself and a gra-
ciousness and charm characteristic of her
southern home and upbringing. From her
teachers at schdol she brought a testimony
of ability and ready co-operation and from
her fellow students a reputation for good
sportsmanship, friendliness and loyalty.
At College she was a student, younger
than the average, unusually diffident and
modest as to ker own capabilities, yet with
a certain quiet’ independence of mind and
a real interest in the political questions of
the day. During her Freshman year she
was handicapped by a period of illness and
the loss of several weeks of work, but she
refused to yield to difficulties and finished
the. year having earned her merits and a
place on her class hockey team. Her second
year at college began with the abundant
promise of youth and health and a ripen-
ing intellectual capacity. Then came its
sudden and tragic ending, leaving the whole
College with a deep sense of present loss
and of regret for bright future unfulfilled.”
The second statement is from some of
her fellow students. “In the confusion of
half-finished efforts which form so much
of our life, she was exquisitely poised ‘in a
delicate perfection of her own—half self,
half Dresden shepherdess. She could dance
like a little flame, yet could be stiller than
a still pool, thinking long thoughts. No
one else cut off at an age when most of us
are unfulfilled promises could leave behind
a life of which it is more true that every
moment was a delight to those near her,
who could look at her perfect, brightly-
colored little figure, and listen to her slow
gentle little voice.
“So fair, so innocent, so sweet,
So ripe.a judgment and so rare a wit,
Require at least an age in one to meet.
In her they met; but long they could not
stay,
’Twas gold too fine to mix without allay.
#
“ Heaven’s image in her was so well ex-
pressed,
: Her very sight upraided all the rest;
For justly ravished from a world like this,
Now she is gone the world is_of a piece.”
APPARATUS MEET TO BE HELD ON
MARCH 7 AND 14.
The gymnasium meets this year, sched-
uled for: March 7 and 14, will consist of
the same events as last year. There will

SUGGESTS AMENDMENTS
Undergraduate Opinion Is Asked on
Three Suggested Improvements
on Last Year’s Report -
COLLEGE TO VOTE ON QUESTION
(Specially contributed by the Curricutim
Committee)
The following changes were requested in
last year’s Curriculum Committee Report.
The pregent Committee feels that perhaps
‘the College would not support these spe-
cific proposals and~suggests amending laét
year’s report. Sena
(1) That Minor History be required in-
stead of Latin (II B 3), because of its
value as background for all other subjects
and because a student has studied for en-
trance as much Latin as the Committee
considers necessary. The report recom-—
mended, however, (II B 4); that if Latin
should still be required, it ‘should be
changed to a 3-hour course in Classical
Literature, with 2 hours of cither Greek:
or Latin translation according to the lan-~
guage offered for entrance. Thé Commit-
tee now feels that such a course should
be required rather than the history. Seventy- ;
five per cent. of the College now elect
Minor History. Since the course is so
popular it seems ill-advised to place the
stigma of a requirement upon it. In addi-
tion, it is possible that the small minority
who do not take it, gain more from the
courses which-they choose in its stead. The
material covered by a course in history is
more nearly replaced in other subjects
such as ‘English Literature and Politics,
than is the material covered in a course
in Classical Literature. It is quite jm-
possible to acquire any knowledge of Greek
or Latin Literature without studying those
subjects themselves. The course suggested

SEASHORE AND SUMMER
“No Bates House!” Enrico,
turning in consternation to Esmeralda, as
he grasps the. full meaning of the words.
No Bates House would mean a summer
spent entirely in the hot streets of New
exclaims
- York. No sea, no outdoor games, no plate
piled with brown bread and desperate cry
of -“More,. teacher, more,” as cups of milk
are drained, Yet all Bates depends en-
‘tirely for its finances on Bryn Mawr, and
this drive is the final effort that the com-
mittee can make to raise the money for
this summer. Such a summér would be in-
conceivable and so Enrico banished the
thought from his mind as one of those un-
necessary, unpleasant suppositions ‘which
must not be considered, as: they surely
could never happen.
AMERICAN “YOUTH MOVEMENTS”
Even in such distinctly individual things
as Youth Movements the American pro-
pensity for imitation asserts itself. In-
spired by the sunlit idealism of the German
Youth Movement, Americans all over the
‘country have been prompted to start little
ones of their own. The Student Volunteer
Convention, at Indianapolis, actually at-
tempted to organize such a movement with
a definite program, and now rumor has it
‘that Bishop Manning is. to try his hand at
the new game.
No one can study the origin and present
Practices of the German Jugendbewegung
“without realizing that its methods and ex-
pressions cannot be copied. In the col-
lapse of political and economic institutions
the young people of Germany have evolved
a certain type of existence, profoundly re-
ligious in character, with emphasis on the
ideals rather than what we call the actu-
alities of life, and unlike most enthusiasts
they admit that they have no plan of re-
form, no program of action.
It is obvious that to try to transplant

tions—who can organize a Youth Move-
ment? Unless indeed we change the mean-
ing of the phrase; which in all other coun-
‘tries has meant a search for the renewal
of life on the part of young men and
women. It is not impossible to have such
a spirit in America.” It need not take the:
_ forms which it has taken on the continent
ae? cannot take them, thanks to the dif-
ference between America and Europe. But,
granted that such a spirit does exist—and

BE PERFORMED ON MAY DAY
Early Associated in England With
May Games of Robin Hood
“Morris dancing,” which has always been
one of the feafures of May Day, will in-
clude this year, three dances which have
never before been» performed in America
and never executed by women any where.
These will be coached by Mr. Charles Rae-
bold, Mr. Cecil Sharp’s representative in
America, who is the authority on Mogris
dancing and has revived the old custom
among the villagers of England. The three
new,dances are the Flowers of Edinburgh,

matter whereon authorities disagree. Prob-
‘ably it came from the Morisco dance,. or
dance of the Moors, which is*the. same as
the Spanish’ fandango. Supposedly John
of Gaunt introduced it into England from
Spain, whtre, although usually danced by
one person only, more people sometimes
took part. However, it may have been
borrowed from the French or Flemings.
In the original morris dance, performed in
France in the early sixteenth century, a
boy came into the hall after supper, his.
face blackened, dressed in white and yel-
low taffeta, with bells bound. to his legs.
He danced the morisco backwards and for-
wards, the entire length of the hall, to the
great delight of the company.
The earliest records of the dance in Eng-
land are the: churchwardens’ accounts in
the reign of Henry VII, which show that
it was useg in parochial festivals. By
Henry VIII's time it was almost an es-
sential part of village festivals.

rian, the six being accompanied by two
musicians. Later there came to be seven
and sometimes even pine performers. Their
garments were ornamented with bells
tuned in harmony. ai
Robin Hood, Little John, and Friar Tuck
of the May games, although not originally
part of the morris dance, came to be in-
corporated in it. One of the principal char-
‘acters was the hobby-horse, which con-
sisted of a wooden figure attached to the
actor, whose trappings reached the ground
and concealed his feet. A window in Bet-
ley, Staffordshire, shows also a pipet, a
tabourer, a fool, and five other characters
which seem fo represent various ranks or
callings.. When archery declined the May
games of Robin Hood were discontinued
and;the morris dance transferred to the
celebration of Whitsuntide. The morris
dance went the way of all festivities with
the Puritans, who were scandalized by the
drunkenness and ribaldry which accom-
panied the dance. It was revived at the
Restoration, but degenerated, and its im-
portance declined until revived in the last
few years by Cecil Sharp.
ADDRESS ON LEUCOCYTES GIVEN
. BY DR. McCUTCHEON
Dr. McCutcheon, of the Medical School
of the University of Pennsylvania, spoke
on Leucocytes, under the auspices of the
Science Club, on January 15.
Dr. McCutcheon has been pre-occupied
with the rate of. movement of the white
blood corpuscle and. its response in terms
of acceleration or diminution of speed
under different stimuli.
of three types, the lymphocyte, capable of
fairly rapid locomotion and able’ to give off
substances that aid growth and regenera-
tion; the monocyte, which absorbs and re-
moves sittin bodies ; and, most famous,
the ‘polymorphonuclear, very active and
able to digest inrection. On account of
the ease with which these can be isolated,

Van Hoff theory in chemistry states that
velocity is affected by a-regudar law; that
for every ten degrees rise in temperature
the velocity is doubled. Dr. McCutcheon
found this to be true in the case of leu-
cocytes, that their velocity”and therefore,
efficiency, was greatest at 104 Fahrenheit,
because at that: rate they arrived at the
spot of infection most quickly, where they
left the blood stream and commenced to
assimilate it.
DR. McDOWELL SPEAKS ON
BASES OF GOVERNMENT
America Must Be Made Christian for
the Sake of the World
Dr. John McDowell, Secretary of the
Presbyterian Board of Missions, spoke in
chapel last Sunday evening. Dr. McDowell,
who has ‘worked ‘among: the miners and
was one of the commission which made the
report on the steel strike, took as. his text
the Verse, “For “other foundation can no
mam lay than that which is laid, which is
Jesus Christ.”
“All schools of architecture, ” began Dr.
McDowell, “agree upon the necessity of a
solid and secure foundation for a building.”
Men nowadays are coming to see this and
translate it into other realms, into business,
education, religion, and government. Of
three possible foundations of government
the first.is the materialistic, what Carlyle
calls the “philosophy of dirt.”” Then there
is~ the commercial foundation,” which
méasures everything in terms of money.”
How much will we get out of it, is the
question iri this case. Finally one may have
a\ government whose foundations are
measured in terms of welfare of humanity,
the Kingdom of God, the mabpaess of_little
children.
If asked which one of these ‘we believed
in, we would say of course that there -is
more than to say and to pray that America *
may be Christian. We must make Christ
the centér of our effogts, for Christianity
without Christ is useless..;{'Then we must
put Him into the thought gf America,”
for our way of thinking must be Christian:
as well as our way of living. The “inter-
national mind” will only help bring.peace if
it-is linked up with Christ. In the third
place, “we must put Christ into the con-
science of America.” We may be consci-
entious, but-thig is valueless if our stand-
ards ‘are wrong.’ The important thing is
to have the right standards. ‘“We must
put Christ into the activities of America,”
the health movement, the playground move-
ment and so on. Our object is not “saving
sinners; but eliminating -conditions ‘that
breed sinners.” Lastly we must put Christ
into the heart of America in order that she
may help'to bring the Kingdom of God 4,
earth, ~All this will he done by the “men
and women who are willing to become the
incarnation. of the thought and spirit of
only one way, the last. But we must sis jana Christ.”

he exploded some of the outstanding errors
of thirteenth century thought. Because of
his advanced teachings, ‘Bacon spent many
years of his life in prison.
In an age of abstract speculation he boldly

AMERICAN WOMEN ASKED
TO HELP BUY CROSBY HALL
To Be Used:as Recreational Center
for University Women in London
The American Association of University
Women has voted ‘to raise five thdusand
dollars to help purchase Crosby Hall, in
London, for a headquarters for ‘university
women. This hall. for which the Univer-
sity and City Association of English Uni-
versity Women is trying to raise £10,000;
will be open to the public at stated times
as a refectory and place of assembly, and
will serve aS a meeting place where stu-
dents of different nations may meet each
other. It will also be a place where stu-
dents may live and work, provided with a
residential. wing-and_a library. :
. Miss Margaret Blaine, '13, is the head
of the American committee. She has asked
Bryn Mawr alumnae and undergraduates
to raise two hundred and fifty dollars.
According to the circular about Crosby
Hall-it was built in 1466 as the home of
Sir John Crosby, fnerchant prince, soldier,
diplomat, and leading citizen of his day, ‘it
soon passed into the hands of Richard
Plantaganet, afterwards king of England.
Here he plotted to obtain the throne and
received tidings of the murder of his neph-
ews at the Tower. In Shakespeare’s time
it was the residence of the Countess of
Pembroke, Sir Philip Sidnéy’s sister, and is
mentioned three times
Various lord mayors succeeded in posses-
, sion and one of them entertainéd Katherine
of Aragon’in regal splendor.
More became associated with Crosby Hall
through a short period of ownership and
he added the traditions of scholarship and
international relations. A true son of the
Renaissance, he studied at Louvain and
Paris, and brought scholarship and a liberal
point of view to the office of Lord Chan-
cellor of England.. He was a good father
as well as a statesman and in his daughter
Margaret he enjoyed “the high-minded
sympathy ofa_soul as great as his own.”
She was proficient in Latin, Greek, music
and the sciences, and thus was an early
exponent of the higher education for
women. °
A later tenant, Sir John Spencer, enter-
tained Queen Elizabeth and her train,
which included Raleigh, Grenville, Drake
and Hawkins—a goodly company. indeed.
Beginning with 1666, the date of the Lon-
don fire, Crosby Hall gradually slipped
from its rich estate. \It was usedas a store
house for wines, for \sroceries, as a casual
meeting house and within our memory as a
restaurant. In 1835 Maria Hackett made a
start in restoring its ancient glories by tear-
ing away some of the eighteenth century
additions, but. again in 1907 this beautiful
Gothic building, which for four centuries
had been one of the glories of London,
stood in danger. of demolition until a group
of public spirited merchants organized as
the “University and City Association” came
valiantly to the:rescue. They caused it to
be torn down most reverently piece by
piece and set up again on the Thames em-
bankment at Chelsea in a garden that once
belonged to Sir Thomas More. Then arose
the question of putting the reincarnated
building to its fullest and noblest use.
- Someone was inspired to suggest that it
be dedicated to the growing needs of the
International Federation of University
Women in whose hands some of the glories
of the past might be restored. Surely such
an occupancy would be as an English
Sponsor has said, “in fullest keeping with

STORY OF WHITE DEVILS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
ing the war of 1914 he lost an arm, but
refusing to give up the life of a soldier he
was finally shot through the lung. While
he was recovering in the hospital the over-
throw of the Russian Government took
place. ‘With his wife, a Polish princess,
whom he married during the war, he ‘went
East and became the commander of a Cos-
sack regiment whose duty it was to break
the Bolshevik organizations. This he did
so successfully that the Bolsheviki devel-
oped for him a good and warranted hatred.
‘ He fell into their hands by unwittingly
walking into his city headquarters and
finding them occupied by them. His
sword was taken from him and he was
condemned to death by the Tartars, Mak-
ing his escape, however, he and his wife
went to Paris, where they are now living,
he working as a carpenter and she as a
“masseuse.”
Mr. Palen could not tell how the sword
got to Michigan. It was in the hands of a
Cossack, from- whom he is hoping to
obtain the tale. —
JUNIORS VICTORIOUS IN
FIRST PRELIMINARY

Judgment and Tactics Defeat Speed
and Spectacular Throws
With a score of 4-3, the Juniors defeated
the Seniors in water polo on Monday night
in their first-team preliininaries.
Both teams played hard and seemed on
the whole about equal. 1925 showed more
judgment and variety in the passing and
changing of positions, whereas 1924 ex-
celled in long throws and in speed.
A great many personal fouls were called
on the Seniors. .Theit playing was fre-
quently brilliant, but notxso concerte® and
steady as that of the Juniors.
The first half was better played by both
teams, _ the
toward the end, prearranged tactics were
lost in a general melee. One spectacular
goal was thrown by M. Buchanan, ’24,
almost the entire length of the pool, which
brought the score to a tie, 3-3, but before
the end—of .the game B. Voorhees scored
the deciding goal for 1925.

THIRD TEAM
1924 vs. 1925
Light Blue and Red battled to a 3-3 tie
in the first of the third-team water polo
match games on Monday night.
Fouling and poor shooting marked the
playing of both sides. The Seniors played
abetter-game—as—a_team, ‘although their
long throws were more apt to go over than
between the goal posts. M. Minott, ’24,
excelled at taking the ball up the pool to
the Junior goal, and O. Fountain, ’24, usu-
ally reached the ball before the opposing
center forward, M. Blumenstock, ’25. The
latter was the mainstay of the team, doing
all the scoring and fully making up for
the missing member of the Junior team.
The line-up was:
1924—M. Minott**, O. Fountain*, L. Cof-
fin, M. Woodworth, H. Walker, M. Fer-
guson, M. Fischer.

title of Gorki’s book appliesto~—his. period

a series of straight-forward, disorganized

these people obsess us. They are like dis-
torted figures seen through faulty glass, or
like the inexplicable freaks of a dream,
they appear: in powerful, pointed descrip-
tions, creating intense episodes in elemental
backgrounds. Life seethes through all the
chapters.
Gorki felt of those around him: “In this
whirlwind of bodies there is a crushing

seems to me very near despair.” And

HISTORY OF BATES HOUSE TOLD BY
MIRIAM -FARIES
Appeals for Liberal Subscriptions to Run
House This Summer
Miriam Faries, ’24, told of the collegiate
conception and the reality of Bates House
in chapel, Monday morning.
Bates House had its origin in a vaca-
tion home in Northern Pennsylvania - in
connection with the Spring Street Settle-
ment. Just recently Bryn Mawr has run
Bates House independently for the months
of June and July, supported by our funds
and with our students taking care of the
children who ‘come in groups of forty for.
two weeks. The cottage is now owned by
Mrs. Bates and therefore can be fitted out
with greater certainty as to its future.
Due to May Day this year the usual
extra contributions that ‘aid materially in
its support will not be available, and so
the twenty-eight hundred dollars needed in
its budget will have to be collected from
the C. A, budget» and the drive which
opened Monday in Taylor. Miss. Faries
asked that people subscribe especially lib-
erally on this account and told of the ma-
good food and probably better health be-
cause of the things they learn of personal
hygiene, at the same time giving: their ||
mothers a much-needed fest.
