Saturday afternoon at Haverford College.
Delegates from the newspapers of. Bryn
Mawr,. Delaware, Drexel, Haverford,
Swarthmore, Temple, Ursinus, and Villa
Nova attended the conference, which was
under the auspices of the Haverford News,
The ‘Bryn Mawr delegates were F. Begg
24, H, Grayson ’25, E. Glessner ’25, and
D. Smith ’26.

The conference was divided into two
groups, editorial and business. The former
group discussed organization, methods, and
the possibility of “out of college” news.
Under the first topic, each college reported
the number of board members, whether or
not it believed in the “subdivision of labor,”

DR. FENWICK ‘WRITES. ON
INTERNATIONAL LAW



Law Examined in Light of Csestlsces
of Past Ten Years



““Tnternationaf Law,” a volume written by
Dr. Charles G. Fenwick, professor of po-
litical conomy at Bryn Mawr, has just
been published by the Century Company,
New. York. 9

The following statement has appeared
concerning the book:

“The World. War showed how inade-
quate and how ineffective the existing sys-
tem of international law really was. It is
now: a matter of the highest importance
to examine anew the rules of international
law and to restore them in the light of
the experience of the past ten years. It is
upon the foundation of existing law that
‘the future rules of international law must
be built. Many of the existing rules have
“been tried and found wanting; others are
susceptible of amendment and develop-
ment; others, again, can be left as they are
for the present. The study of these con-
ditions will reveal the deficiencies of inter-
national law and. the wide gaps that must
be filled up before it can attain its object

' of bringing order and justice into the re-
lations of states. ,

“The present book undertakes, therefore,
to set forth in as clear and concise terms
as possible the existing state of things. It
is written from the point of view of the
lawyer and -seeks to distinguish sharply

between those rules of conduct which can

be said to have actual legal validity and
_other rules which are from time to time
alleged ‘to be law by governments and
‘statesmen. While the details are technical,
the author has endeavored to avoid un-
necessarily technical language and to pre-
sent the subject in a form that is readily
intelligible. The present volume differs
from existing texts, ‘most of which were
"written before the World War, inthe Fal:
lowing points:

ee SRE analyzes the general conception ‘of id

- law and shows in how far that conception
* finds expression in internatiohal law as it
now exists. ‘i

C. A.’ Cabinet. Approves Proposed
Change in Constitution



Chediges in the constitution and plans fpr
the coming year were the subjects under
discussion at the meeting of the Christian
Association Cabinet held last Sunday night
in Room F, Taylor. :

According te the proposed change, which
will have to be approved by the entire as-
sociation before going into effect, the
Board will be composed of four Seniors,
three Juniors, three Sophomores, and one
Freshman. At~present there are five Sen-
iors, four Juniors, one Sophomore and
one Freshman. The change would be ac-

complished by adding the two members-.

at-large to the quota of the Sophomore
class. ;

* Kathleen Gallwey, ’24, President, an-
nounced that since the formation of the
Undergraduate Association Poster Com-
mittee the need fora Christian Associa-
tion Publicity Committee had ceased, and
so the Board proposed to substitute a cor-
respondence committee to keep in touch
with conferences and general btisiness. The
course: of lectures ittethe fall, ‘given this
year by Dr. Fitch on the subject of Com-
parative Religions, and the week-end con-
ference, were matters brought up. for 'sug-
gestion and discussion. The Board felt

that instead of one man to lead the latter,.

the Association might secure two or even
three men representing as many distinctly
different points of view on the subject.
Elizabeth Hale, ’24, Chairman of the Re-
ligious Meetings Committee, suggested the
plan of having three successive sermons
in Sunday chapel given by the same man
on the same topic, in order that people may
get a more extended presentation of some
subject than is possible in the brief half
hour now allotted to the sermon. Such
a succession would take place only once
during the year however, probably in the
spring.

Anyone who. has any suggestions con-
cerning speakers or topics for the lecture
course, week-end conference, or the pro-
posed three sermons may give them to K.
Gallwey, ’24, or E. Hale, ’24.



CHAIRMAN OF CURRICULUM NEED

Whether the President of the Under-
graduate Association need. necessarily be
the Chairman of the Curriculum Commit-
tee was brought up at a meeting on March
24. :

Helen Hough, ’25, said that while the
President might be very interested in cur-
riculum she need not necessarily be good
for chairman. She therefore proposed that
instead of -having the President of the
Undergraduate Association chairnfan of
the committee the statement should be read
at meetings for straw votes, that “It shall
be one of the aims. of.,the Association to
take an active interest in the more aca-
demic questions that arise in the life of
the college. The Presidents of. the Asso-
ciation on the Board should be elected for
their keen interest in the matters con-
nected with curriculum as well as for the
qualities indispensable in holding a position
of responsibility.” This motion was car-
ried, 2

CONFERENCE AT FORUM CAMP
TO BE HELD:BY BRYN MAWR

ler cram and Organization of Colony
Announced in Detail ;
ct “

Bryn Mawr will have a quota of at least
eight delegates dt the colony which the
National Student Forum will hold next
summer at Woodstock, New York. Regis-
tration is now open and those desiring—in-
formation or registration slips should ap-
ply, to D. Smith, ’26, the Bryn: Mawr rep-
resentative,

Bryn Mawr, as well’ as Dartmouth,
Northwestern, Swarthmore, and Yale, will
each lead one of ‘the five two-week confer-
ences: which will make up the summer’s
program. According to the camp circular
recently issued, “during each conference ‘a
student interpretation and evaluation will

‘| be worked out of some single dominating
individual whose philosophy and teachings,

reffain as effective forces in modern cul-
tural movements. It is likely that Tolstoi,
Bertrand Russell, Ibsen, Gandhi, and Niet-
zsche will be finally decided upon. None
of these individuals will be looked to for
final answers but will be considered as per-
sonalities offering peculiar philosophies. * If
this portion of the plan meets with stu-
dent approval, it will be expected that each
student will be familiar with the particular
work or works to be discussed during the
conference concerned.” Each conference
will have as faculty some men and women
who are leaders of significarit tendencies
in such fields as education, church, busi-
ness, literature, and art, the choice of these
to be largely in the hands of the committee
in charge of each conference.

The Bryn Mawr conference will be from
September 3 to September 17 and will take
Ibsen as the individual for study. Dates for
the other conferences ate July 1-15, July
17-31, August 2-16, August 18-September ‘1.

Woodstock is in the Catskill Mguntains
fourteen miles from Kingston. Besides op-
portunities for hiking, swimming, and ten-
nis, the community affords unusual artistic
and musical advantages.

Board will probably be about $17 a week,
less rather than more. In the fall or possi-

ELOISE REQUA READS LETTER
FROM CHAIRMAN OF ALUMNAE
COMMITTEE

A letter of acknowledgment received by
E. Requa, ’24, president of the Undergrad-
uate Association, was read at a mass meet-
ing of the college last Thursday evening.

The letter ran:

My Dear Miss Requa:

» This is a very long delayed acknowledg-
ment to you as President of the Under-,
graduate Association of the very deep and
heartfelt appreciation, which we, the Alum-
nae Committee of the Music Department
feel toward the action so spontaneously |
borne and carried out during your recent
mass meeting at which you voted to divide
the proceeds of May Day with us. Though
long delayed in. sending our written ap-
preciation, it has been none the less keenly
felt and has heartened us more than any-
thing that has happened since the opening
of the Music Department two and one-half
years ago.

I am voicing the feeling of all ‘members
of the committee, I know, when I write

rewarding and no encouragement so great.
Hoping that our joint efforts will be
fruitful, and with warmest personal re-
gards, I am,

CONFERENCE AT SWARTHMORE
TO DISCUSS NEGRO PROBLEM



Amalgamation or Segregation to Be
Discussed as Possible Solution



An Inter-racial Conference of college
students willbe held at the Woolman
School, Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, April
11, 12 and 13, under the auspices of a
committee from the Liberal Club of Bryn
Mawr College, the Polity,Club of Swarth-
more College, and the University of Penn-
sylvania Forum, a group composed of
white and colored. students.

The purpose of the conference is to
bring white and negro students together,
with the hope that they may understand
each other’s difficulties. The committee has
asked each of the colleges invited to send
two delegates. If both white ahd colored
students attend the college, it is urged that
one of each be appointed in order that a
broader point of view may be obtained.

The conference will have three sessions.
“What is the Negro Problem?” considered
in regard to the historical background of
the negro, his present status, and the scien-
tific aspect is the subject of the discussion
for Friday, while on Saturday “Is racial
discrimination warranted, economically,
legally or socially?” will be treated. Sun-

day an endeavor will be made to find the .

solution of the problem “Amalgamation or
segregation?” while the delegates will also
try to decide what they themselves can do
both as citizens and students. Saturday
and Sunday afternoons have been left free,
with the suggestion of walking in the coun-
try, while. music and dancing will provide
entertainment Saturday night.

In the interest of an intelligent confer-
ence, the committee has suggested that each
delegate be prepared on some aspect of the
question, for example, “The Cultural
Achievement of the Negro in Music, Art,
Letters or Science.” They have also pro-
posed “The Psychology of the Negro
Race”; “The Problem of Race Superior-
ity’; “The Economic, Social,
Educational Status of the Negro in the
United States”; or “Biological Differences.”
In addition each delegate has been asked

to read three suggested books on various.
‘aspects of the question, and some maga-

zines have also been recommended by the

; committee.

Consideration was given to 173 ap-

MORE LIGHT

The result*of the recent meeting of the
College Entrance Board at Columbia Uni-
versity is the incorporation in their plans
of a new kind of examination, to be used
with the old type to test their relative effi-
ciency. ~Instead of the. old essay type in
which the student was asked to write all
he knew about a topic, the questions will
be short, definite, and can be answered
affirmatively or negatively. They will con-
sist either of the “false and true” exami-.
nation in which the student places a plus
or minus sign before stated propositions;

the best—answer type—in which several.

possibilities are cited and the correct one
is to. be underlined; or finally the “com-
pletion” type, in which the predicate of the
proposition is left blank for the student to
fill out, According to the Board, the
method has these advantages: First, it
covers the whole field, because many of
the short questions can be asked; secondly,
it eliminates cramming, and, thirdly, it re-
duces marking to a mathematical certainty.
These of course will never supersede the
essay as a means of showing one’s ability
at self-expression.

To the Editor.of THe Cottece News:
‘During the last week in June and _ the
Mays in July, student conferences
under the auspices .of the National Board
of ‘the Young Women’s Christian Associ-
ation have been held every summer,. at
various places throughout the Eastern part

of the United Stateg: Maqua, in Maine;
Silver Bay, on Lake Gere Eablesmere,
ii the mountains Pennsylvania; and in
Ohio. To these conferences the various
women’s colleges have been invited to send
delegates.

Previous to 1918, Bryn Mawr sent dele-
gates to Eaglesmere, and then for six
years we attended the conferences at Silver
Bay. This year we are invited to attend
the Eaglesmere Conference,

Last. summer Dr. Caulkins, Mr. Paul
Hutchinson, and Dr. Herbert Gray, of
London, were the speakers at Silver Bay,
while Dr. Coffin and Dr. Fosdick were at
Eaglesmere and Maqua respectively. All
the conferences ain the lectures stressed the
same main. ideas: fundamental points in
religion; for example; at ‘Silver Bay Dr.
Caulkins spoke on Relation of Religion and
Science, Divinity of Christ, Relation of the
Individyal to the Church, Question of a
Personal God; modern international Chris-
tianity,; social implications of Christianity.

The programs for the three conferences
were also rather similar. At Silver Bay,
Bible classes were held at 10 A.M. At
11.30 the conference was divided into vari-
ous groups. One day. we met according
to Christian Association committees while
Association presidents were meeting at the
same time. Then the following day those
interested in the Student Industrial Ques-
tion, in the proctoring system, in the Pek-



least.one representative. from each college
at every.meeting. The rest of the day was
well apportioned. Two to four, rest hour;
four to-six, recreation, includingeswimming,
tennis, basketball, baseball. In the evening
the speakers of the conference held forth
and after that we generally had discussions
by délegations. ;

For, ten days you meet delegates ffom
other colleges. You realize that there are
people ,from Wheaton, Vassar, or Con-
necticut, or from any of. the other twenty-
five colleges represented, who are attrac-
tive, interesting and full of ideas and in-
formation,

Against the cold, grey sky,

Just question why the chimneys
Should be unduly gay.

For college days like walls are grey

Facts and Fancies of May Day

es

May..Day in. general,—what. lias been
» accomplished so far for it, a progpectus of
what remains to be done, and announce-
ments of certain details;—was the subject
of a graduate and undergraduate mass
meeting, held Thursday evening in Taylor
chapel.

The plays anddances‘on the green, with
rehearsals four and five times a week, now
held out of doors on the actual stages, are
naturally the aspect of May Day most
prominent to undergraduates. Pressmen
are about, informally photographing the
students in. and out of costume; and the

There are some 380 students in college

154° oni the green, and about thirty-five in
the masque. The remaining two score are
to fill in gaps, and ultimately those for-

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

whereby one editor’ is responsible for news,
another for sports, and another for alumni
notes.;methods..of trying-out-new- members
and electing editors, length of time posi-
tions are held and time of-changing boards.
The size of the boards represented varied
from fifteen at Bryn Mawr to ninety at
Temple, the average being about thirty or
‘forty. Tryouts were generally the same in

the basis of personality, ability to ‘write’
and success, at getting “scoops.”
There was a decided difference, however, in
the amount of importance attached to these
qualifications; at Swarthmore those who
get the most “scoops” are likely to get on
the board, whereas at Haverford men are‘
chosen solely for personality and general
ability, with no attention to capacity to
write news. At every college except Tem-
ple and Ursinus the board was completely
in student hands, and all elections and
‘questions policy ‘are decided by the

under direct faculty supervision,e and at
Ursinus a Beard ‘of Control composed of
faculty members elects the editor-in-chief
and three assistant editors.

Intercollegiate news and how it might
be broadcasted was the final topic. Mr.
Haskell favored a plan whereby an inter-
collegiate paper such as the New. Student
might act as a clearing-house for such
news. One person in each college would be
responsible to the central paper for sending
‘in articles concerning any activity in that
college which would be of interest to oth-

rs. Such articles would have to be writ-
ten from an intercollegiate rather than
from a local point of view, and would be
sent to other colleges. from the central
bureau. The delégates felt that such a
plan would be excellent if financially pos-
sible, but were sceptical about the financial
side. One suggestion was made that such
news be mimeographed and sent» directly
from one college to the others who wished
that news. ;

Questions before the Business Board delet
gates dealt with rates, advertising, and bill
collecting. Guests at the supper which fol-
lowed were Mr. William L. Chenery, , of
the New York Mail and Telegram, and
Karl Friedrich, of the Institute of Inter-
national Education.

Universe Is Not Accidental, But Is

What Christianity is and why we “be-

Alexander McCall, pastor of the Second
Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia, who
spoke in chapel last Sunday evening.

Dr. McCall believes in Christianity be-

vinced that the uniwerse must be not acci-

man makes one beligve in the stfpreme
goodness of God. God would not conceal
Himself. from those who need Him, and
the only form .by which He could’ reyeal
Himself ‘was a human life. In Christ God
identified Himself with man.

Then, Christianity is the most hopeful
solution for the evils of the world, because
it offers Christ’s gift of friendship, first
with Christ Himself, then with all the
world. As it has banished already many
social evils, in time it will cure ‘greed and

law according to the conceptions of a pate
ticular writer.

“3. It shows the extent to which exist-
ing international lawshas been modified by
the new principlts introduced into the
Covenant of the League of Nations and
by the practical operation of the League



as distinct from its formal character.

rs

“4. It points out®wherever possible, the
analogy between the rules of international
law and the corresponding rules of na-
tional law. The }tudent is thus, led to
make comparisons) between the two sys-
tems of law and fo’ consider in how far it :
is. feasible to extend the more highly de-
veloped rules of- national law _ into the
broader field of international: relations.

“5. It classifies states in a more logical
way, so as to show in how far restrictions
upon sovereignty are compatible with mem-
bership in the family of nations. In like
manner it analyzes the ‘rights’ of states so
as to show what are the influences at work
in leading states to refuse certain disputes
to the decision of an international court.

“6. Tt introduces a new classification by
which the traditional ‘law of war’ is shown
to be a form of procedure and it is con-
trasted “with other forms of peaceful pro-
cedure, such as, mediation and arbitration.
“7 Tt examines the traditional ‘law of
war’. in the light .of the World War and
shows qn what points the rules drawn up
by the Hague Conference broke down in
the face of moderri conditions.

“8. Finally, the volume undertakes. to.in-
troduce the new developments of interna-
tional law resulting from the Peace Trea-
ties of 1919, as well as recent instances of
controverted claims: It avoids academic ,
discussions, but refers briefly to a wide
variety of technical points, so as to open
up to the student a larger field for more
advanced study.”

PROMOTION OF GOOD-WILL IS -
PURPOSE OF ORGANIZATION

Outgrowth of European Confederation
Offers Membership to Bryn Mawr



(Extracts Taken from the President’s
Report)

During the Spring vacation the President
and the Secretary of the Undergraduate
Association went to a conference of lead-
ing Eastern’ colleges and “universities to
discuss the question of forming an organi-
zation in America to correspond to. and
co-operate with the “Confederation Inter-
national des Etudiants” in Europe.

' This is an organization of colleges and
universities in European countries to pro-
-mote international. good will through the
mutial understanding which results from
intelligent intercourse. “The Confedera-
tion was formed at the close of the war
for the purpose of developing bonds of
fellowship between students, and promot-
ing their common. educational and social
interests.” The organization has no politi-
cal or religious bias, and allows none in
any of its constituent parts. It facilitates |
travelling for students, and is interested
in helping through correspondence. The
annual congress is to be held at Warsaw
this September, and a fetter explaining the
proposed. _ Students Federation of the

United States of America will arrive very

soon, when the question of joining will be
brought up before’ the Association.

Lastly,.the Board-considers that, in_addi-
tion to the executive’ side of student activi-
ties Carried on through the ‘Undergraduate
committees, in addition to keeping the point
of view of the student body accurately
before the Faculty and the”Alumnae,. there
are. two great opportunities for the Asso-
ciation in the curricular work and in co-
operating with the new Students Federa-
tion of the United States, that these last
are distinctly all-college undergraduate
movements, and are of interest outside and
beyond the immediate college community.

IN THE NEW BOOK ROOM



_ The New Decalogue of Science, ,by
Arthur Edward Wiggam.
“Intelligence,” says Mr. Wiggam, “ap-

pears to me to be the thing that enables
a man to get along without education.
Education appears to be probably the thing
that enables a man to get along without
the use of his intelligence.” In short, Mr.

Wiggam is far from satisfied with present

modes of education and in his book he sets
forth a series of ten commandments for
‘the regeneration of society. But Mr. Wig-
gam is no theoretical reformer sitting back
in.a study making suggestions. He is every
inch a practical man and Hits fair and
square. at the existing order.

Writing as -if directly addressing the
-President, Mr. Wiggam says that “the time
has arrived for a new Decalogue, a new
Sermon on the Mount, a new Golden Rule.”
These new codes, howeyer, will not be

absolutely liké the old ones but will be as]

flexible as human nature. The troubles of
the world are not due primarily to “un-
balanced budgets and disrupted ententes;
People
now have knowledge enowi%h to constitute
a ten times more perfect world order but

ing worn out ways of thought.
the great evil according to Mr. Wiggam,
and he employs all the powers of a vigor-
ous and. sardonic style to bring home to
people the utter folly of blindly continuing
an old and unscientific way of life. “The
time has come,” he says, “when man should

_ cease looking solely to the hills which the

Psalmist intimated were his only source of
help, and look closer about him into his

own psychology and biology, in order to

The comet came back

The great comet that was seen by William
of Normandy returned to our skies in 1910
on its eleventh visit since the Conquest.
Astronomers knew when it would appear,
and the exact spot in the sky where it

would first be visible.

Edmund Halley’s mathematical calcula- :

tion of the great orbit of this 76-year vis-

itor—his scientific proof that comets are

part of our solar system—was a brilliant
~application of the then unpublished Prin-

cipia of his friend Sir Isaac Newton.

The laws of motion that Newton and
Halley proved to govern the movements -
ofa comet are used by scientists in the ;
Research Laboratories of the General Elec-.

tric Company to determine the orbit of .
