Varsity was overwhelmingly beaten by _

The playing was swift and widespread,
the ball traveling rapidly from one end

much clean passing and clever stick work
especially on the .part of Germantown.
The Germantown team. played a fat
quicker game than Varsity and outwitted
Bryn Mawr often by the speed dnd

stiffened but was’ unable to hold back
the victorious team.
In the second half. the Vagsity backs .
fought desperately but the opposing for-

ANATOLE FRANCE
One of the. most outstanding contem-
__ porary. writers and the -most—brilliant
novelist in France today has died.
The fame of Anatole France does. not
rest merely on his perfection as a stylist
nor on the variety of subjects that he
studied. His eminent position was due to
the fact that his intellect and sympathies
weré versatile and comprehensive. A
definite philosophy whose strength lay in
a réaction from original convictions po-
sessed him during his maturity and later | .
life. From mysticism he turned to strong
anti-clerical opinions and from political to
ardent socialism. But while indulging in
strictly intellectual reasoning he acknowl-
edged limitations. We find in La Rotis-
serie de La Reine Pedauque: “Truths de-
tected by the intelligence will ever remain
sterile. The heart alone conceives dreams.
It pours the water of life upon everything
it loves. Seéds of good are sown in the
workd by. the.feelings..Reason has no such
power. Since I have followed over much
the dictates of reason in my criticism of
laws and manners my judgment will fall
without gruit and will wither as a tree
bitten-by April frosts; To help mankind
one must reject reason and rise on the
wings «of enthusiasm.” His convictions
were always founded on common sense.
After Germany’s aggression in 1914 he
abandoned an established pacifism and]-
offered his sword to France; his services
were refused on account of age but he
published a paper for the encouragement
of patriotic - morale. The tolerance : of
wisdom probably expressed him more
truly than radical. theories. In his con-
ception of what man should be both
qualities have their place: “The one com-
pensation for. life is intellectual curiosity
and our chief duty is to feel pity for the
suffering of man’.”

NEW ARRANGEMENT IN .
GENERAL ENGLISH COURSE
Doing away with mid-year and final ex-
aminatiotr by a new ruling concerning the
English Composition course at Bryn Mawi
has caused much rejoicitig and relief among
the undergraduates affected. Most of the
students have felt the futility of final exami-
nations in such a writing course. If the
principles of writing and the _ illustrative
matérial studied are applied to a carefully
thought out report which is the climax of}
much preparatory writing the student's
writing ability will be demonstrated more
clearly and fairly than it could soagihly be
in a short, hurried’ final.
Since the reading in English eee
will form the subject matter of the reports
in English Composition without doubt both
courses will benefit. The result will be
greater familiarity with the assigned reading,
a more exhaustive study/6f it, and a more
careful attention to the form in which it
is Written.
Formerly one could scarcely hope to as-
similate all the reading crowded into one
semester: - With the “new arrangement in
effect and the literature spread over the, en-
tire year the reading can have a wider range
and be much. better_appreciated and‘ di-
gested.
In- short, the recent change in General
English seems to be a change for the better
in every way. %
SOCIALISM IN SILK STOC€KINGS
The forthcoming English Pection, one
gathers’ from the newspapers, will be fought
over the personal habits of the Government
“Shall I,” says the exhausted taxpayer
“shall I support MacDonald again? Every
pne agrees that he is the best foreign, min-
ister in years, but then, he has a leg. How

sighs another, “Trevelyan has made , great
advances in education, but dare I entrust
my children to: a man who never forgets
an aspirate? There.is.no place for ‘h’s’ in
true democracy, yet Harrow did not teach
him to drop a single one.” “Philip. Snow-
den, too,” cried,a third, “look at him., Do
I want a chancellor of the exchequer who,

Davis © fee
To the Edifors of the College News:
We have been informed that a large por-
tion of the studént body was “for” Mr.
Davis, but that we cduld state no definite
reasons for our stand. We have, therefore,
taken up the challenge and shall state simply
and briefly four reasons why we.are voting
for Mr. Davis.. :
To begin with, Mr. Davie past record
shows that he is a “fnan’ well-suited for the
position.
Then Mr. Davis’ readiness to declare his
opinions regarding national and international
affairs at the present time is particularly
refreshing and gives us confidence in him.
He‘ doesn’t beat about the bush~but speaks
out broadly and with perfect frankness, so
that-we- _exactly_what he stands for.
Among other things, he stands for a lower
tariff, without a huge reserve which should
be an ever present temptation to the integrity
of many’ who administer it. He also dares
endorse the League of Nations.
_ Since his nomination he has spent a good
portion of his time. in acquginting. himself
with the peculiar problems and difficulties
of all parts of the country and with the in-
dustries on which each region is dependent.
More than that, he has made ‘a conscious
study of our problems in order to work out
constructive plans for the solution.
‘But our international praplems, also, are
particularly important at present, since, of
course, our internal prosperity depends
largely on their happy solution. The situa-
tion requires the work of someone who is
well acquainted with it and with our ‘in-
ternational relations. Mr. Davis’ previous
experience and training have developed the
tact, the ability and the statesmanship which
the situation demands. ‘This last need
should, above all others, be considered in
making our choice at this time, and we feel
that no other candidate has this signal quali-
fication. —

““"M. Delphine. Housel, ’27.
La Follette
To the Editors of the College News:
It seems to me that these are two excel-
lent reasons for voting for La Follette. In
the first place there is the negative deci-
sion, arrived” at by the er of elimi-
nation. You may say: =
“T would not vote for Coolidge, stand-
patism and corrupt machine politics. - I
would not vote for Dayis, the use of the
injunction in labor disputes and free bar-
gaining between employer and employee.
Therefore, I must vote for La Follette.”
This negative vote is, howeyer, merely a
protest against the other candidates, and
my stand for La Follette is — posi-
tive.
In the first place I like his record, Both
in: Wisconsin and in the Senate he has stood
for fine policies and done ggod work. His
education of. the people of his own: State,
in even the technical phases of labor legisla-
tion and taxation, has brought about splen-
did results and made Wisconsin one of the
most advanced States of the Upion. His
Seaman’s Bill, passed in the Senate, has’
served as model for similar laws the world
over.
In the second place I like ‘his platform.
I admit that his policy on the League is
weak, but the League is coming regardless
of parties and is snot a really important
campaign issue. The checking of the power.
of the Supreme Court is a necessary meas-
ure for safeguarding the enforcement of the
will of the people. The Supreme Court
should exist, as the Lord Chancellor is Eng-
-|1and, to interpret laws and not. to veto
them. © Most important, — however, ‘are his
‘to stand aghast.
To the Editors of the College News!"
In this — election, “which: has been ‘eatlled
the most serious since Lincoln’s, probably.
half of Bryn. Mawr College is to cast its,
first vote for President. In making a choice
of candidates, we do not therely elect a
figurehead to occupy the White ‘House, -but
we éstablish or imperil America’s welfare .
‘for far longer than the next four-years. The
wrong man in Washington will create chaos
not to be: remedied by future ‘elections; the
right mian will continue the progress we have
made since the aftermath of the war.
- During his administration Calvin Coolidge,
Republican nominee, has given a sane gov-
ernment; his record of “conscientious work,
safe policies and economy” shows that he has
adhered to the spirit as well as the letter
“of the oath sworn in the Tittle Vermont fatm
hottse more than a year ago. Either of the
other candidates would nat only fail to come
up to the high standard set ‘for him, but
would undoubtedly be a danger to the State.
John W. Davis, whose very nomination
was a compromise by the Democratic Party,
has several facts against him. He is an
(old man; and while this is, in_, itself, no:
barrier, Mr. Davis fails to show ‘the wis-
dom customary to age—quite the. opposite.
In spit of the fact that his party ‘has been
somewhat evasive of the issue, he shows a
strange rashness concerning the foreign
policy. In the pressure of great ‘interna-
tional difficulties he condemns that of the
Republicans as “tip-toe diplomacy.” , Two
obvious and venerable sayings are simul- 3
taneously applicable: the one, “no fool like
an old fool,” and the other, “fools rush in “~~?
where angels fear to tread.” Besides all this,
the election of Mr. Davis would also bring
in a Socialist Congress. _
The danger of Mr. Davis, howeiae is
small compared to the menace of Robert
Lafollette. “If ever- we neded a man like
Calvin Coolidge it is now when the radicals
are asserting themselves .to the extent of
1 running a candidate for the Presidency on
a platform that seeks to overthrow the Con-
stitution.” In his “campaign to-take from
the Supreme Court the final authority to
interpret the Constitution the Third Party
candidate is undermining the confidence of
the people on which all prosperity is based, .
with only disastréus results to follow. To
contemplate’ the subordination: of the Su-—
preme Court to the whims of Congress and
partisan politics is for every right thinker
his is only one. perilous
phase. The strongest influence in_ Lafol-
lette is Radical. To mention just a. few.
party adherents there are E V. Debs,
erstwhile wartime offender against the na-
tion’s safety; Theodore Dreiser, author of
the suppressed Sister Carrie; Margaret
Sanger, of the Birth-Control Review; the
-1 Steuben Society, the new “Kultur League,”
the American Association for the Recogni-
‘tion‘of the Irish Republic, all have sworn
loyalty to Mr. Lafollette. A laughable list,
I think, if it were not so serious. If the
‘contemplation of the possibility of such a
group. in power, side by side with its lead-
er’s prospective plan for government, is not
enough, let us see what Mr. La Follette has
done in the past.

DR. HUGH BLACK SPEAKS
ONCE MORE AT BRYN MAWR
(
Our Chaticter and Conduct . Depend
“What we believe is of supreme import-
atice, for life follows the fortunes of faith.”
This was the keynote of the sermon deliv-
ered in the chapel jlast Sunday night by Dr.
Hugh Black, professor at Union Theological
‘Seminary, in New York.
‘Man’s nature and his idea of God inter-
act, continued Dr. Black. The character of
his God determines in the long run his own
person he himself is disposes him to take
a. certain view of God, |
“If God be-thought of as indifferent to
oyrselves as to right and wrong? If God
be thought of us as injust, then there is no
guarantee of justice on this earth. If Ged
be thought of as thoughtless, careless and
pleasure-secking, then the whole human
world becomks soorter or. later a riot of li-
cense and Just. “If God is to us just, righte-
ous, holy and loving, then that must be the
ideal we admire and imitate.
“What we believe revenges itself on our- |
selves. When those who deny God suffer,
it is neither retribution nor accident.
“Man makes God after his own image.”
This charge, “often \bronght against. the
necessary. Because of the limitations of our
finite minds we can rot imagine things of
which we have had no experience.
‘“Whien we say ‘God is love,’ we begin |,
‘with the love that we know, the love that
is a fact of human experience. We sée
what our hearts give us power to see. We
cannot think unworthily~ of man without
‘thinking unworthily of God.”
‘of-God seems a vicious circle. It is not.
“We have no excuse for not knowing
duty to become stich a one as he. “Thou
must love me who have died for thee’.”
‘Dr. Black has preached at Bryn Mawr
often before, the last time having been at
the bacclaureate service last. spring.

BOOK REVIEW
'Balisand; Joseph Hergesheimer; Alfred
A. Knopf. i
‘Mr. Hergesheimer has written Balisand
as a picture ‘of Virginia in the days that
preceded and followed the Signing of the _
Constitution. In the centre of the pic-
tre he has placed the fitting and signifi-
cant figure of Richard Bale, officer of Wash-
ington’s army and plantation owner. As a
picture the story is convincing though too
long drawn out. In fact Mr. Hergeshei-
mer seems peculiarly fitted to this impersonal
type of narrative by the inflexibility of his
style. His writing seems petrified. It is
cold and smooth anid so achieves an appear-
ance of. solidity... At the same. time one is’
more likely to see the words of ‘his de-
scriptions than the things described.
On the surface the baok, though inani-
mate, stands firmly on its feet as a finished
product of Mr. Hergesheimer’s pains.
