“ip enter into religious life’ was the

plea put forward by Dr. George A. John-
son Ross, Professor of Homiletics at Col-
umbia University, in his Baccalaureate Ser-
mon on Sunday, May 30.
- “There are two great fields open to those
who are going. out from college; that of
science and research, and that of service
to Jesus. The opportunities in this latter
field are greater than ever before, for four
reasons: ,

In’ the first place, this generation’ can
study religion in a spirit of detachment, free
from embarrassment or personal prejudice,
quite different from previous gerierations.
Two streams, Greek thought and Hebrew
passion, have made our civilization what it
is. The Greek legacy was conveyed objec-
tively to the last generation, bit the Hebrew

was, it was a very thrilling game.

To start things off well, Dr. Fenwick,
the Faculty captain, hit a three-bagger,
which was soon followed by one of Dr.
Widder’s famous long hits. Then the
student team came in and managed to get
two ruts, in spite of the fly which Dr.
Bullock caught. «

The second inning was full of excite-
ment. ‘Two bases were full when Dr.
Widder came to bat. His first strike sent
the ball off into the bushes, giving him
time to come home and then reach first |
base again. He called it a run and a]
third, which gave rise to a dispute as to
how even a mathematician could get a
third of a run out of four bases.

H. Guiterman, ’28, starred for the stu-
dent team catching flies and making home
runs, besides doing all the pitching. E.
Haines, ’27, also played well, catching one
spectacular fly in the third inning. *

The arguments with the umpire in-
creased, and the advice from the side
lines; cries of “this isn’t tennis” and “act
like Hindenburg” compensated for the
constant fumbling during the middle of
the game. In the sixth inning an orange
was introduced into the play, but when it
was substituted for the. ball, the result
was disastrous for the Faculty. A game

first and second base, but in spite of the
combined efforts of. Dr. Bullock and Dr.
Hart, H. Guiterman was able to make her

BRYN MAWR TO HAVE ;

History: of Art Department to Supervise
Independent Work.



(Specially contributed by. N. Perera, ’28,
President of the Bryn Mawr Art Club.)

Miss Park has granted the students of
Bryn Mawr an art course for next year.
This, however, is not as optimistic a
statement as it would seem. We are con-
fronted with the task not only of run-
ning the class ourselves, but: also of
financing it,

After the exhibition of the Bryn Mawr
Art Club a petition for practical art was
presented to the President. Miss King
was especially enthusiastic about the plan
LAnd suggested that eventually a lecture
course be established on the technique of
art with supplementary work in the form
of laboratory. Much to our surprise the
project met with approval. It was too
late in the year to procure an instructor
for such a position, but we were given
permission to prove our interest and abil-
ity by conducting: an. extra-curriculum
course next year under the supervision
of the History of Art Department.

At a meeting of the club it was decided
to have a two-hour class weekly. But
nothing can be done without sufficient
funds to pay for instruction and mate-
rials. We must depend on the friends of
the college, as well as the students them-
selves for help. With such a start shall
we allow this chance to slip away? Our
enthusiasm is at its height; where is
yours?

TEN CLASSES MARCH IN ATHLETIC PARADE
FROM PEMBROKE ARCH TO GYMNASIUM

1905 WINS COSTUME PRIZE

What song the sirens sang is unknown;
equally unknown are the songs that ten
classes’ of Bryn Mawr sang. as they
marched in procession to the gymnasium
on Athletic Day, Monday, May 31, The
band began it, playing some simple and
stirring tune; then followed the returning
alumnae, 1904, 1905, 1906, 1907, 1924, 1925,
and then the present “undergraduates,
each group singing, some a ditty peculiar
to it, unrecognizable to the reviewing line
on Taylor steps, unrecognizable to them-
pelves, one suspected.

No less strange and unexplained were
the costumes worn. 1904 was the most

| picturesque and interesting of the groups,

wearing the clothes they wore in college»
Purple linen suits, flower garden hats
perched over perilous cliffs of hair, lacy
dresses with ascetic boned necks, trailing
skirts and ample bustles, simple athletic
togs consisting of long starched sleeve
blouses and corgyiroy skirts of the tradi-
tional varsity brown, cut daringly high to
expose the toe and daringly low to ex-
pose the-collar bone—all these made a
vivid impression on the undergraduate
mind, »

Next came 1905, a large and enthusi-
astic body in red caps and gowns, nicely
calculated to run in the rain which fell in-
termittently during the morning. To
them was awarded the prize for the best
costumes.

VENTURES VERSUS VOLUMES

To have a mind which is “complicated

and yet retains the overwhelming clarity: of }

the Parthenon” is more than to have a good
memory; to “make language and thought
one, is more than to understand” the
rélation between manner and substance. But
above all this, and beyond the reach of most
of us, is the ability to assort and disentangle
the thoughts’ of others without losing our
own adventurous outlook.

We have labored to reproduce the lan-
guage of great men, to select pertinent quo-
tations scattered throughout many volumes,
and rearrange them into new combinations
that we call our own. In sd.doing, we have
acquired the rudiments of the technique of
research and have thus learned that accur-
acy is a rare quality. The facts we have so
painfully acquired, however, fetter our
thought, so that we feel wearily satisfied if,
within twelve hours, we can transcribe a
difficult theory from the text to the quiz
book. In the fierce strife of competition,
- many of us. have forgotten—some have
never learned—that to invent is to co-ordi-
nate inward impulses with outward fact.
We must free ourselves from any desire to
excel our fellows in scholastic achievement
or wit, that we may the better explore the
nameless identity which lives beneath our
reticence or our expansiveness. Otherwise,
if we persist in following the path we have
trod so long—that straight and narrow: way
which leads eventually to the Suntma Cum
Laude—any stray gleam of originality may
well be extinguished by the sheer masg of
foreign opinion to which we are subjected.
Granted that creative thought is left with-
‘out a means of expression if it lacks the
ability to make careful compilations and
-fine distinctions; granted that the System is
indispensable to Life, But here, where the
System -bids fair to crush out our frail
individual existences, the least we can do
is to see ourselves as -we are—analysts and
imitators who want imagination,

And for those who still have a deep-
seated impulse towards origination,-it is not
enough to wait for the uncertain moment
of inspiration; they must be willing to risk
perfection of detail if they would brave the
unknown reaches of invention, for, being
what they are, they should know that the
greatest success only follows in the wake
of _ greatest hazard.

DEAN MANNING COMMENTS ON

GERMAN ORAL EXAMINATIONS



Courses College Gives Adequate if Stu-
dents Co-operate.

The large number of failures in the Ger-
man examination taken by the Junior
Class a month ago seems to have led-a
good many undergraduates and Alumnae
to believe that the work of the Extra-
Curriculum classes in German has been
proved a failure. As I feel sure this is
not the case, it seems wise to give the fol-

towing figures: Of the fifty-four students

who failed, twenty had taken no work of
any kind with the German Department,
two had begun work only in their Junior
year and had been registered in the Soph-
omore classes, fourteen registered for the
Supervised Reading planned for Juniors
but soon gave it up, three had Elementary
German two years ago, but had taken no
work under the German Department
since, four took Elementary German this
year; of these one failed the first semester
and two entered the class the second
semester, ‘This leaves eleven students
who had kept up their. connection with
‘the work of the Extra-Curriculum classes
for two years and nevertheless failed the
examination. It is our hope and expec-

‘tation that these students will be able to

pass without difficulty in the fall. Of the
twenty-nine who passed, nine had Ele-
mentary German, two were in more ad-
vanced German courses, three obtained
their knowledge privately, fifteen had the
Extra-Curriculum class ‘and the Super-
vised Reading. I have been told that of
the fifteen last mentioned most had spe-
cial tutoring before the examinat!

There are several general observations
to be nfade with regard to preparation for
the language examinations which are per-

haps of more interest to future classes
than to the Class of 1927. In the first
place it is certainly the hope of the Bryn
Mawr Faculty that the schools will ’in-
crease, or rather will resume, the teaching
of German to a greater number of their
students. It would probably be advan-
tageous if a_larger number of students
entered on German instead of French for
there can be very little doubt that for
students well grounded in Latin it is
easier to acquire a reading knowledge of
French than of German. If the students
who entered on French, however, could
study German in the lower grades and
gain some facility in speaking and reading
at that time, a brief course in German
either in 6r out of the curriculum ought
to suffice to give most of them the re-
quired reading knowledge. For the stu-
dents who have not any familiarity with
German before entering college it will

still be necessary for them to do one of

two things:

Necessary Work.

(1) To take Elementary German at
some time during their college course
counting it as a rule as part of their elec-
tive work .and if they take it in their

Freshman year to practice the reading of

German regularly in the summer. (2) If
a student does not care to devote five
hours of college time to learning German
she must count on doing regular work
during her Sophamore and Junior years
under the direction either of the German
Department or of a competent tutor and
she must also expect to devote a least one
hour daily to German during the sum-
mer.
tinue to give the Extra-Curriculum course
for Sophomores. Where it is possible to
do so it would be advisable for students
to begin German by themselves or with
a tutor in the summer preceding their
Sophomore year. This ought to make it
possible for them to enter intelligently
into the work of the Extra-Curriculum
classes, and to get real profit from the
class meetings. They must expect to
keep up their German ‘reading through
the following summer and where they
have made sufficient progress they will
be advised to try the examination at the
beginning of their Junior year. Other
Juniors ‘whose work has been satisfactory
but who have yet mastered enough Ger-
man to pass the examination will be al-
lowed to enter the Supervised German
reading classes for which no credit is
given or the two-hour German Reading
class which is part of the curriculum. . No
one will be admitted to either of these
classes whose work in the Extra-Cur-
riculum German has not been satisfactory
unless they have made up the deficiency
t| by very | ntensive | work in the summer.



ae

The German Department will con-





terest.

For the present Junior class I think we
have all of us considerable Sympathy in
tha they-aré the first class on whom this
new requirement was placed had no op-
portunity to prepare themselves by work
in school and fell naturally into some con-
fusion as to what the requirement. would
really mean. In the case of students wh
have made ‘an honest attempt to leafif
German even during the last year I hope:
very much that by work this summer |
they will be ewabled to meet the require::
ment next year. In the case of the stu-'
dents who have made practically no effort:
to study German up to ‘the present time;
the only advice to be given is that they:
should devote themselves to ‘that and’
nothing else'this summer. [n view of thé
many warnings that they have received
they have no right to expect special con-
sideration if they fail to do in four
months what they have been frequently.

CHRISTIANITY YOUTH'S TASK 7
‘ ee



CONTINUED FROM raee 1

caulay’s diary shows: this ; in a list of his
reading, which included among others Soph-
ocles, Theocritus,
Plautus and Terence, many of which were
téad twice... He also read Augustine’s Con-
fessions, which, he said; “sounded like an
open-air preacher,”

“Religion is the first of human concerns.”
Literature, science, history, ethics, and re-
ligion must be studied. It is essential to
know what each of these has done fof
civilization. Just because there are dis-
agreements of opinion in religion does not
mean that it should not be. studied, any
more than poetry, about which there is also
controversy, should be omitted 'from the
curriculum because most men read prose.

Religion is one-of the things the youth of
today: should know;'it is not proscribed. It

is normal as expressed. in books like The},

Plato, Plutarch’s Lives |*



Unchanging Quest, One Increasing Purine,

and The Materialist. If one can but get

rid of ‘superstition and hysterfa, no other

| generation ever had such a chance to study

religion.

In the second place, “the religion of today |
is in a state of unexampled flux.”. Estab-
lished authority is breaking down, and out
of it all Jesus is emerging, He is. being dis-
entangled from the mass of belief in doc-
trine and dogma. This emancipating process
is perhaps more obvious in other countries
than in England or America. Books like
Christ of the Indian Road show the. new
interest in Jesus alone. China is doing the
same thing, and it is up to Youth here to
blaze the trail,
from the center, making it more effective.-
We must give life to the only thing which
will unify our world. “The Institutions
which were regarded as being as divine as
God Himself have been seen through—Jesus

stands alone.”
The third reason for: the present oppor-
tunities in the field of religion is the “strange

to reorganize Christianity

paradox of the contraction of the world
broadening the viewpoint.” We see now that
the conflict is one of, ‘ temperaments and
philosophies of life, not of races. The egemy
of progress has no definite name; but he
puts the body beforé ‘the spirit, the dead
‘before the alive, makes things only to. sell
them, worships bodily prowess in the indi-
vidual, and ‘military superiority in the na-
tion. He is opposed to charfge, blinds him-
self to cruelty, he fears and hates. His
patriotism is tribal, he cannot handle the
idea of humanity as a whole.

There are three useless types of person,
the cynic, the sentimentalist, and the spiritu-
ally ignorant politician, When it comes to
‘basic things they know nothing of psychol-
ogy. There is a chance for the student of
psychology in probing public opinion, study-
ing the’ way in which man has misjudged
man and man’s ynind. Spirit and trath
must dominate, and the force is to be found
in Christ. Science offers no substitutes or
substitutes fail; man is incurably religious.

VARSITY DEFEATS ALUMNAE AT
BASKETBALL AND WATER POLO



Alumnae Team Works Hard. | Every-
body Enjoys the Fun

The Alumnae were defeated by Varsity
at water polo on Monday, May 31, with a
score of 11-2. Varsity started off rather
lamely, seeming bewildered by the un-
ethical playing of the Alumnae, but the
spell was broken after a few goals. A.
Bruere, ’28, playing well, was somewhat
dazed by the ducking she received at the
hands of O. Fountain, ’24.

M. Buchanan, ’24, was the mainstay of
the Alumnae, throwing both goals half
the length of the pdol and stiffening the
whole team. E. Mallett, ’25, showed
great adaptability, though she had never
‘played before, while M. Fischer, ’24, as
\goal did some excellent stopping.

! The line-up was as follows:

Varsity: J. Seeley*, ’273 A. Bruere****,
'28; E, Morgan, ’28; E. Boyd, ’29; J. Stet-
Ison, ’28; C. Field**, ’28; H. Tuttle***, ’28.
Alumnae: S. Leewitz, 24; M. Buchanan
}** '24- S, Carey, ’25; M. Fischer, ’24; E.
Mallett, 25; H. Hotigh, ssa O. Fountain,

.
Basketball. :

The basketball party between the

Alumnae and Varsity on Monday, May 31,
was a great success. The alumnae did
the throwing—Varsity coming out on top
to the tune of 46-4,:
‘In the ever-shifting scene, the white
‘skirts, of the Alumnae—gathered behind
to give the effect of a bustle—predomi-
nated. They did their best to hide the
ball behind theebackstop, but Varsity was
too wily for them, bringing it out and
putting it through the basket a few more
times.

The most noteworthy playing was done



-Tby S.-Leewitz,.’24, and M. Buchanan, ’24,|

for the Alumnae—though the work of the
whole team was valiant—and by C. Swan,

FACULTY DEFEATS VARSITY
IN ANNUAL TENNIS MATCHES



3

Dr. Widder Plays Remarkable. Game
Gaining an Overwhelming Victory.

The Faculty carried off all the honors
in tennis by defeating Varsity on Satur-
day, May 22.

In the ‘six matches played Varsity only
won one set, which seems to prove con-
clusively that there is nothing in the old
theory that exams weigh equally heavily
on Faculty and students.

By far the most interesting match was

r between E. Musselman, ’26, and Dr. Bul-

lock. The playing was fairly even, al-
though the score did not show this.

The line-up was as follows:

The best tennis was displayed by Dr.
Widder, who defeated B. Pitney, "OT: Dr
Widder’s powerful _ serve, sure place-
ments and remarkable plays at the net
made him far outshine his opponent.

In contrast to the speed of this match,
the one between M. Hopkinson, ’28, and
Mr. E. S. King was ‘characterized by long
slow rallies from the back court.

In every instance the Faculty defeated
Varsity.

PITNEY RETAINS. TENNIS TITLE

B. Pitney, '27, defeated M, Hopkinson,
'25, in a three-set match and thus won the
right ‘to be the holder of the tennis cup
again this year. The score was 6-0, 4-6, 6-0.

The match was rather unexciting and in-
active, neither of the players being up to
M. Hopkinson’s serves were
excellent, but the slightly greater steadiness
of B. Pitney proved more effectual.

New Hebrew Collegé. ,
(From The New Student.)
“Tt, seems®at first paradoxical that in a
land where everything still remains to be
done, in a land crying out for such simple
things as ploughs, roads and harbors,’ we
should be creating a centre of spirityal and
intellectual, developments. But it, is no para-
dox for those who know that when the
mind is given fullest play, when Wwe have a
centre for the development of Jewish con-
ciousness, then coincidentally we shall attain
the fulfillment of our material needs.” ~
Dr. Chairm Weizmann—President of the
World Zionist Organization.
Many noted scholars and _ diplomats
gathered it Jerusalem for the opening of
the Jerusalem University, April ‘1st. Ameri-
can Jews who have been the chief financial
supporters of the movement to rebuild the
Jewish Homeland had the largest represen-
tation of any country in the world in the
exercises. There were 7000 visitors in Jeru-
salem for the event.
Lord Arthur James Balfour, . English
statesman, who at the age of 77 has made a

| pilgrimage from London to Jerusalem, de-

livered, the principal address at the dedica-
tion exercises.
UNIVERSITY SITE—A panoramic posi-

-|-tion on Mount Scopus has been secured for

the university; to the west lies the City of
Jerusalem, to the ‘east the Dead Sea is
visible and the valley of the Jordan; on
the further side, the mountains. of Moab.
Professor Patrick Geddes, the well-known
Edinburgh architect, worked out the designs
for the university. Professor Geddes drew
up his designs on the unit plan so that each
building, as it is erected, will be complete
in itself, and at no time before the comple-
tion of the scheme will there be any dis-
harmony.

FUNCTION—Although recognizing the
importance of the university as a place where
students are examined and given degrees,

for a career, the founders of ‘the diversity
place highest’ the advancement of science by
untrammelled ‘research. “It ‘is these few in
every country to ,whdém we can look for the
advancement of knowledge. It is: in. these
few that the ingellectual momentum of ‘the
world is:concentrated.”

Therefore it is proposed to begin the
Hebrew University as a research university.
Educational training will be offered later
when more resources, both of men and
money are available. There “will be three
departments—a * medical department, a
chemical department and an Institute of
Jewish studies which will do research work
in the history of the Hebrew language and
religious t ae es Albert. Ein-
stein, noted scientist, will be on the univer-
sity faculty.

LIBRARY—A Library containing about
250;000 books is already in operation.

EXPANSION—“Beginning, as~ it will,
with the three research institutes that have
been described, the next project is along
similar lines. The institute of Jewish learn-
ing will grow “by the formation of other
departments of Jewish learning. Other
branches. of humanistic learning will be
added or formed into separate institutes as
the possibilities arise. On the scientific side
the next step will be research institutes in
psychology, physics, mathematics.

the general situation allow, the other side
of the university will be developed, viz: the
teaching and the training of those who are
to take part in the intellectual and spiritual
revival which shall-emanate from Palestine.”

The Hebrew University has been hoped
for from the beginning of the Jewish, Na-
tional movement. The fifth Zionist conven-
tion in 1901 made a move in.that direction
but under Turkish rule the project was not
possible. When the Zionist Commission was
sent to Palestine in 1918 after the capture
of Jerusalem, with British authorization, the



also as a place’ where students are trained

This is now a pleasant and

acknowledged fact.

But women, more perhaps
than men, demand some-
thing beyond time-service
for a cash return in order
to respond with their best
efforts. And many of them
need or want part time
jobs which will pay more
than a pittance. |

The sellingof life insurance
is a whole or part time job
calling for the kind of wo-

men you are, the best type.

One woman who has sold
life insurance on both a
whole and a part time
basis, has raised two sons,
and taken care of a hus-
band suddenly i gt
has written—

“There is no field that of
fersasgreat an opportunity
for women in financial
ibilities, as to her own
life, and as to what, she
may do for others. The
work is healthful and in
teresting, and youare inde:

Intelligence vs. Character.
Professor Carl C. Brigham of Princeton
declares that while intelligence tests are use-
ful they are too inaccurate to: be trusted

which most laymen have Bald” for some
tirne. The trouble with intelligence tests is
that while they measure. mental capacity

Thus, in a-test, one youth might score forty-
five and another ninety, and one would be
tempted to conclude that the first would
make only half ‘as good a student as. the
second; but if the first were twige as fond
of study as the second the conclusion would
be quite wrong. :

Can any laboratory test be devised for

character? Probably not. Character seems

to be one thing that reveals itself only when
the test is real. Any -dolt, asked whether
dependability is a requisite in the game of
life, would answer in the affirmative; but
whether he could be depended 6n to manage
the football team is another matter, and one
on which his pat affirmative answer, given
in the test, throws no light. There is one
method that might help the deans. Let them
put all doubtful candidates for agpjssion to
mowing the college campus. At the end
of a day, we venture the ‘ones that had cut
the most grass would prové, taking one con-
sideration with another, the best students.
