MR. W. G. SIMPSON WILL
SPEAK AT BRYN MAWR



Endeavors to Live Out Own Social
Doctrine



“If we are to have a better world, we
must have better people,” says Mr. Wil-
liam G. Simpson, individualist and pacifist,
who will speak under the auspices of the
Christian Association, on April 9th, at 7.30
o'clock, in Taylor Hall.

Mr. Simpson maintains that each indi-
vidual should live according to his own
‘standards of right. He, himself, is against
the possession of private property, and
considers war to be contrary to the funda-
mental principles of Christ. He feels that
instead of resisting evil, we should search
out and—emphasize the good. Only when
every one loves his neighbor as himself
will the “community of love” or the ideal
world be able to exist.. Mr. Simpson after

graduating from Union Seminary went to

-a small church in one of the worst indus-
trial districts of New Jersey. In the fall
of 1918 he was formed to-resign from his
church on account of his pacifism. He says
moreoever that even had there been no
war, he no longer felt able to preach, “to
make a sale of what had been, God’s free
gift,” or “to serve an institution acquiescing

MISS PARK SPEAKS AT
FELLOWSHIP: DINNER



Stresses Graduate School and Its
Great Contribution to Bryn Mawr



_ President ‘Park addressed the graduates]
at their dinner in Pembroke, given in honor
of the recipients of the Eurapean Fellow-
ships, Friday evening. :

“My speech,” she said, “must begin with
renewed and yet warmer congratulations to
the three new graduate European Fellows
on the year that lies ahead of them. | think
with delight of their happy. journeys by
Fsea’ and land, of their long adventurous
days, in the new lecture rooms and libraries,
of their experiences, their discoveries and
their rewards. When my own mind: dwells
on a winter in Athens brokén with voyages
through blue Aegean islands and journeys
on foot, on bicycle or on horseback through
he mountains and uplands of inland Greece,
| feel almost sorry to know of their stern
determination to stay in workaday England
or France, but I realize honestly that their
memories have every. chance of being as
glowing as mine.

_ “When at the instance of President
Thomas the graduate school was established
simultaneously with the undergraduate col-
lege at Bryn Mawr, she made what seems
to me perhaps her wisest contribution to
women’s education in America Adequate
undergraduate education for women was
hard enough to get in 1885; graduate in-
struction was impossible. The mature
woman. student could neither work -in the
lecture room or laboratory where she
wanted to work nor be supervised by the
professor whose instruction she wished to
follow. With her own experiences of
graduate work in Germany and in Paris
fresh in her mind, experiences which seem
to us now almost romantic, Miss Thomas
threw open to the college graduate an op-
portunity for ‘graduate work solid and at
the same time stirring. She saw. the need
in women’s education for immediate con-
tact with scientific accuracy, with intellec-
tual truth. _And—in_the.years that have
seen increasing undergraduate opportuni-
ties open to women we have many of us
felt that in:the graduate seminary or the

Marcel Proust, she began, is certainly

he contented himself with the admiration

of a few characters in limited sfrroundings
and he stands as an example of seclusion
and concentration very rare in our times of
noisy movement and scattered attention.

One may take exception: to an absence
of morality in his work which is based on
the conviction that. mere existence renders
anything legitimate. and worthy of study.
Marcel Proust,-unlike Anatole France, who
describes life with irony, or Alphonse Dau-
det, who describes ,it with pity, looks on
and refuses to pass judgment. Although a
bitter enemy of sham he-Conflicts with our
ingrained sense that vice shatters the soul,

shows in his books that he detests malice,
baseness, and snobbery.

VARSITY DEFEATS TEMPLE
IN SEASON’S FASTEST GAME .



Sweeping Victory Due to Scientific
Teamwork of Bryn Mawr



Varsity triumphed overwhelmingly with
a score 41-18 in the basketball game
against Temple University Saturday
afternoon.

Both teams. played a fast-game during
the first half ,and the ball passed rapidly
up and down the field with little fouling.
Bryn Mawr used short low passes, which
proved more effective than the longer ones |
of the opposing team, but was outjumped
in the center where Temple got the hall
nearly every time. C. Remak, ’25, and F.
Jay, '26,. were an invincible combination as
forwards, the latter shooting ‘several bril-
liant goals from difficult positions while the
unerring placement. of Cc. Remak rolled
the score steadily higher. :

Fhe second half started with a snap and
Temple playing with speed made_a desper-
ate effort to even the score. While they
made spectacular individual plays the
evener teamwork of Bryn Mawr kept the
ball steadily heading toward the home bas-
ket, and S. Leewitz, '24, as guard success-
fully blocked her forward from scoring.
Both teams fumbled frequently and the ball
rolling along the ground proved an incen-
tive for an indiscriminate roughhouse. As
the end approached the shooting and play-
ing increased in wildness, though the Bryn
