MISS STRONG DESCRIBES
RECOVERY -OF RUSSIA}



Changed Through Breakdown.
of Patriarchal Government

ONLY WORKERS RULE IN MOSCOW





“What’s New in Russja” was the sub-
ject of the lecture delivered last Friday
night by Miss Anna Louise Strong, under
the auspices of the Liberal Club.

“The most interesting thing that I have
seen during my years in Russia,” she be-
gan, “has been the tremendous speed of
recovery from the war.” There has been
a steady rise for four and a half years
trom, complete disorganization. After the
war there was not a town in Russia
where the people were well fed, no ‘fac-
tory running at more than one-fifth of
its pre-war power. All the factories had
been used for war production and were
almost completely worn out. Now the
country is scarcely recognizable. One
can travel there in comfort, and there
are no crimes of violence comparable with
those in Chicago or New ‘York,

If you were to go to Russia
wouldn’t see any signs of Communism.
You would pay for your purchases, and
pay in street cars, just as in any capital-
istic State. Only. through a study of the
basis of organization of society would
you sce the difference.

The student tours in Europe next sum-

able cheapness of the tours, the associa-
tion of small congenial groups fromm their
respective colleges, and the opportunity
to meet foreign students and, above all,
to learn something of European people
‘and ways, were urged by the speakers. A

their hopes: “So far as I know, this is a
question that cannot be answered by any-

several more questions in the minds of the
crestfallen audience.

» “We come into life inheriting things
that people before us. have spent most of
their time perfecting so that our lives may
be enriched. These are the institutions—
of home, education, government, church,
social life, each with its rules and. cus-
toms and individual questions. These in-
stitutions have the double functions of
enriching and interpreting life. Every
younger generation reserves the right to
criticise them., Our generation has re-
volted against the strict conventions of
the social part of life only.”

It is not only our right but our sacred
duty, according to Dr. Curry, to challenge
these institutions. If we do not revise
them, the pressure will become too great,
the lid will blow .off and we will have
revolution.

“The world as it is, is continually
changing and groping towards the world
as it should be—but what should it be?
How ought life to be lived anyhow? We

FIGHTING AND FUMBLING



Game



Playing a fast but messy game, Varsity

with a score of 24-11 on Saturday, March]
6. Within the first few moments of play,
A. Bruere, ’28, put the ball in, and this}!
started Varsity on a series of baskets.

A good deal of fouling with some de-
termined fighting characterized the Penn-
sylvania team. Their star player was
Miss Jones, who made a basket whenever
she got her hands on the ball.

The first half -was full of fumbles, with,
which Varsity centres managed to. keep I
at Bryn Mawr’s end almost the whole
time. The second half was quicker with
some clean passing the entire length of
the field by Varsity. There was less
fumbling in this half, also.

PLEASANT SOLUTION TO

German
According to Dr. Prokosch, who spoke
in chapel Wednesday morning, March 3,
year after a period of inactivity dating
from pre-war days.

The University of Berlin has made a
special offer for American students with
no knowledge of German. This offer in-
cludes a six weeks’ course at Berlin, con-
sisting of sixty hours of the actual study
of German and thirty hours spent on gen-
eral subjects; the total expenses of the
trip, which leaves New York on June 29
and retéfns from Bremen on September
t, are only $385.

For those more advanced students sev-

and the University of Tnnsbruck will be
delighted to’ make arrangements for

American students. Another trip through
Germany, involving a systematic course
for which certain colleges will give credits,
is also being planned.

Life for the foreigner in Germany was
decidedly unpleasant just after the war
due to general -bad conditions and lack of
trust. Now Germany is beginning to real-
ize how much she owes to America for
reconstruction, and the American has be-
come very popular and well liked.

IMPROVING MAYDAY

For care of investigation and clearness
of presentation we congratulate the com-
mittee who reported on big Mayday.
Their suggestions for more efficient or-
ganization and finance are good. But we
believe the insidious quality of Mayday
cannot be checked without a reduction in
the amount of rehearsal. Since Mr. King
must divide his.time and expert directing
among all the plays, in proportion to the
benefit derived, the hours are too many.
The coaching by undergraduates is not
worth the time spent. If Mayday is to
be reformed at all, everything must be
considered. We are not making a plea;
our own part is over. We merely point
out that proposals and discussion are idle
without thoroughness. and consistency.
We beg for a little more leisure. Training
too intensively to be a perfect Elizabethan
in three months really puts’one in a
morbid condition best fitted for the Mos-
cow Art Theatre! If we want to do
things in the best way possible, why avoid
“professionalism?” And if we want to be
less ambitious, why kill ourselves?



UNLIMITED CUTS?

On the Harvard books it is recorded
that a senior, now a famous writer, cut
all but three lectures of a certain course,
Just before the examination, the Professor
realized for the first time that X was
taking his course, and called him in to
expostulate and forbid him to take the
final. After a long argument, X_ per-
suaded the professor that it would do
no one any harm if he took the exami-
nation, and the next day he passed_it with
a grade of 97. A week or so later, meet+
ing the professor ‘on the campus, X ven-
tured: “You see, sir, if I had only cut
those three classes too, I would have
gotten 100.”

While not wishing to moralize, we feel,
nevertheless, that there is something to
be said for a system which makes it pos-
sible for the bright student who doesn’t
enjoy every class, to take examinations,
and receive credit. A compromise might
be struck by means of some sliding-scale
method: the privilege of cutting more
than a certain number of times would be
granted to the highest ranking students,
according to their grades. Under such a
system, the maximum number of regular

cuts could be made less than fifteen, thus
encouraging our scholarship. We frankly
admit a return to Reward-and-Punish-
ment; but, then, has anyone proved it to
be immoral?

dialogue is somewhat stilted. In “Gratis”

of the situation well. The wit, which is
sometimes rather grim, is cheapened oc-
casionally by® unnecessatily sordid details.
We regret -that the story had to be a
tragedy,

Poetry is represented, in this issue by
an unusually large r.umber of verses, The
most original coniribution is Miss E.
Linn’s “Aspirations,” which gives evidence
of real ability. We hope that she may

find her metaphor! Miss Follansbee’s
style shows increasing ireedom. Her best
poem is “Night Song.” “Imperfection”

could be improved by a heightened end-
ing, while the “Echo from Theocritus”
appears, to lack a_ needed coherence,
“After the Storm” by Miss Newhall finds
the author attempting not without success
a fairly difficult form; although she uses
the participle almost to excess, monotony
is avoided, The sonnet form is deftly
handled by Miss Nelson, but the subject
matter is a bit more conventional than is
usual with her. On the other hand, while
the idea in Miss Leonard’s sonnet is
newer, the execuffon lacks a certain clear-
ness of outline. “The Chance Singer” of
Miss Haley gives promise of ability to
write graceful verse. In contrast to this,
Miss Allen’s “Judas in Hell” reveals a
certain power of dramatic characteriza-
tion.

We should regret discouraging any of
these writers by faint praise. Our hope is
rather that the quality might be improved.
If the standard set seems high, we can
only quote the dictum of an old and re-
nowned critic: “It is not enough that

poetry should be good: it must have dis-

tinction.” The same writer gives good
advice on abrupt transitions and climatic
endings, both of which might improve
some” of the selections which we have
been discussing.



RECOMMENDATIONS BUREAU
GIVES FACTS ON ITS WORK
A few figures from the files of the
Bureau of Recommendations and an ex-
planation of its work may be of interest
to the college at large. This bureau was
organized to assist alumnae. in finding
the work for which they are best fitted,
and is maintained at the expense of the
college, no fee being charged for its serv-
ices. As the number of Bryn Mawr
alumnae is small, the work of the bureau
has been limited to the teaching field and
almost. all its placements are made in
private secondary schools, Alumnae who
wish other types of work can rarely be
placed by the bureau, but the bureau can
often give them information about their
particular field and suggest methods of

| finding opénings.

At present the bureau has ninety-two
candidates on its active list and forty-
three positions open for next year. Of
these ninety-two candidates, twelve are
seniors, eight are graduate students now
studying at Bryn Mawr and the remainder
are alumnae and former graduate stu-
dents. Most of the last group are work-
ing, but would be glad to hear of posi-
tions which would mean “advancement.
The following table shows the number of
calls for teachers for different subjects
and the number of candidates registered
for each subject:

the old Russia? The main difference is
the breakdown of patriarchal government.
The great stratum of peasant life, which
extends from the Baltic through Asia,
has had a similar social past, based on a
similar village life, in which the old people

BRYN MAWR AGAIN TO
ATTEND SILVER BAY

Once more Bryn Mawr is to be repre-
sented at the Silver Bay Conference:
Last year delegates attended the divisional
Y. W. C. A. conference at Eaglesmere,
Pa., but this summer the delegation is to
return to Silver Bay, where Vassar, Smith,
Wellesley and other New England
women’s colleges meet. The conference
opens on June 18 and runs until June 28.

A popular theory that a religious con-
ference is a place where ardently religious
girls go for emotional thrills is not jus-
tified by the experience of people who
have been there. Eminent speakers such
as Dr. Fosdick, Dr. Bruce Curry and Dr.
Erdman Harris give series of lectures, and
there are also discussion groups on sub-
jects varying from politics, economics and
social problems to ae and theoreti-
cal religion.

Athletics also playya large part in the
ten days. spent at Seer Bay. Beside rid-
ing, baseball, boating and swimming there
is usually an intercollegiate tennis mect,
with each college represented by at Icast
one Varsity player. There is time for
less organized discussion also which is
comparable to that at .college—on mat-
ters pertinent to us, that rouse our interest
or curiosity.

Miss Strong related a story told her by
a peasant, Ivan Ivanovitch, to illustrate
the change in Russian peasant life.” He
lived 200 miles from a railroad in a large
one-roomed hut, with 16 other members
of his family. Conditions were very
primitive; grandpa and grandma slept in
the place of hénor on top of the oven,
mother and father, uncle and aunt had
beds and the children all slept on a long
wooden platform. Everything was home-
made except for the ikons, which hung
on the walls, one for each member: of
the family, and two extra, to ward off
disease in general. Grandpa was the
ultimate boss of the family. All the fam-
ily wages came to him for spending, and
his standards ruled throughout. All the
able-bodied women worked in the fields,
so grandma had complete charge of the
children. These conditions made for a
very stable and conservative population.

The railroad came to a village 20 miles
away from Ivan when he was 11. A
school was then started in his village
and he was sent to it because he belonged
to a large family and had to be educated
to go to the factory. In the first year
he learned arithmetic up to 10, in the sec-
ond year arithmetic up to 100, in the third

arithmetic up to 1000, and the Laws_ of
God. This was his education.

It seemed to him ‘that the ‘railway itself
brought the revolution. He first saw the
train when he was 12, and then he real-
ized suddenly how tremendous and
strange the world is. Perhaps it really
did bring the revolutidh, for after father
and uncle had gone away on it to fac-
tories they refused any longer to give
their wages to grandpa.

In 1914 he was sent to a sector. of the
Galician front, where he saw nothing of
the war but hunger and lice. Presently
the food gave out-and disease was ramp-
ant; rumors began to filter in about the
‘revolution. Hearing of the division of
lands Ivan started home and arrived i,
time to be on the land committee of
the village. Soon the lord returned with
German troops and the committee was
forced to flee to and live as a guerilla
band until after ‘the Poles were driven

When Miss Strong saw him he was in

The Christian Association feels that it
offers a unique privilege to people who
are able to go to the conference. There
are few students who do got need the
wider knowledge of life, the widened per-
spective gf a world outside our own col-
lege community, the chance to compare
it with other similar communities that the
Silver Bay conference can give.



MILLICENT PIERCE, ’26, TALKS
ON WORK OF MAIDS’ SCHOOL

“I wish that instead of being here in
Vespers you might all be at the Maids’
Sunday School,” said Millicent Pierce,
26, speaking in Vespers Sunday evening,
March 7, “They have this service every
Sunday with prayers led by one of the
maids, and it is very impressive.”

Going on to describe the work of the
Maids’ Committee, Miss Pierce said that
advantage of everything that was offered
them was taken by the Maids. The Glee
Club is especially popular and flourishing.
Beside the Glee Club and the Sunday
School, there are classes in various sub-
jects and private tutoring.

The basic new thing is the breakdown

fering.

In relation to the. rest ‘of the

there are factory lunchrooms, plain but
very efficient. It seems to then a great
part of the new life that they are able
to sit down to a table and make a social
function of a meal.

One woman factory worker said to
Miss Strong: “1919 was a year of joy to

we never had enough to eat. But ‘it was
the first time that my husband and two
children and I had a whole room to

State differs from that of all other States.
The basic resources of power belong to
the State. There are plenty of private

are controlled by Moscow. It is rather

THE COLLEGE NEWS :



avoiding all, possibility of disagreements.
Better than this, we wish to ‘advotate
the. election of, one member as a chair-
man, but it shall be understood that the
committee is to do nothing without the
_ sanction of’ its head whose authority
is absolutely supreme. The function -of
the committee, therefore, is primarily to
carry oyt the work, and secondarily to
meet with ead to ‘discuss and advise.
The function of the chairman shall be to
relieve the head of the department of
such details as he wishes to delegate to
her, and to act as an intérmediate between
the head and the committee. The Execu-
tive Committee shall, exist as before, but
the Central Committee shall be ‘abolished
as superfluous and a source of more work
than reat accomplishment. In its place
there shall sit with the Executive Com-
mittee, in addition to the president of the
college, the heads of the departments and
the president of the Undergraduate Asso-
ciation, four undergraduates elected from
the college at large. They shall act as
chairmen of the minor departments, such
as Paper Flowers, Properties or ‘Animals,
and they shall also constitute an Advisory
Body. This Advisory Body shall be
available for any department or committee
which is in need of advice or assistance,
and may be called in to sit as a temporary
part of that department or committee.
The value of such a body will become
apparent in the case of a dispute within a4
department, or in case the opinion of :the
Executive Committee or of the under-
graduates should be desired. For exam-
ple, in 1924 the problem of cutting re-
hearsals arose in the Play Department.
It was brought up before the Central
Committee and finally before an under-
graduate assembly in order to determine
whether or not fines should be imposed
for absence or tardiness. The decision
was reversed three times and it took
almost three weeks to~arrive at the final
settlement. If the Play Committee could,
in such a situation, call in the Advisory
Body which would have a first hand

knowledge of the internal machinery _of
the Executive Committee and,at the same
time be representative of the prevalent
ugdergraduate opinion, the Play Com-
mittee might,’ with ‘the advice of the body
called in for that purpose, proceed with
confidence to make a rule which would
stand without a°question, and it could be
done in a_ single, day instead ‘of three
weeks.

The second suggestion for simplifica-
tion has to do with the dinancial side of
May, Day. It is proposed that in 1928 a
budget shall be adapted by means of
which a limit will be set to the expenses
that are,incurred. Without a- budget it
will, in the future, be impossible to re-
strict the tendency to ever increasing
elaboration, which each succeeding year
continues to roll up like a snowball. If,
however, a budget is estimated and estab-
lished, each department head will be al-
lowed a certdin proportion of the whole,
and when that is reached, no more money
will be available, and any extravagance
will be eliminated. The evil of too much
publicity which brought a Certain amount
of unjust criticism on the college will be
eliminated. Like departments, it
will receive a share of the budget just
sufficient to sell enough tickets to cover
the budget itself, without the ulterior
motive of ‘making money, It seems un-
wise in the future to give May ‘Day for
any sort of benefit, if the publicity on the

other

sale of tickets is to be restricted. Mrs.
Collins has been kind enough to make

out a list of expenditures in 1920 and in
1924, together with the expenditure pro-
posed for 1928. Quoting from her figures
the total cost of May Day in 1920 was
$12,226.07; in 1924, $16,689.98, and_ esti-
mated fof 1928, $11,000. This is a reduc-
tion of over one thousand dollars from
the cost of 1920 and almost six thousand
from 1924; or thirty-four per cent.

“The third and last recommendation

which the’ committee wishes to make is’

‘the elimination of professionalism from
May Day production. In 1924, Mrs. Otis

the May Day performance. ' Her assist-

hardly realized or appreciated the services
which were givén to us by those people
without whom May Day must retutn to
the “spontaneity of 1900.” It is through
their wffort that May Day becomes at alt
possible. With their help alone, May Day
remained an amateur production, but as
soon as we asked Mrs. Skinner to come
and prodice it for us, it assumed profes-
sional proportions, and will in the future
have to. measure professional
standards, if we continue to eniploy a pro-
ducer. — If, the other hand, we put in
place of th® producer someone who will
do what Mrs. Collins dyd—that- is, man-

The most ‘important of all these move-
ments, however, was that started by a group
of young men from the ages of twenty-two
to twenty-five. They were all scholars, but
scholars who reflected on life from a prac-
tical point of view. They decided that the
furniture which copied models> of earlier
epochs really did not suit modern people;
the flapper does not recline in just the same
way as Mme. Recamier. :

This movement developed along two main
lines; tthe inexpensive but good-looking type
of furnishing, Which would not exceed the
demand of the average purse and yet would
satisfy an aesthetic taste, and the expensive
type, of rich and rare materials, long and
exacting in the making; in short, a veritable
chef d’oeuvre. Paul Follot, among others,
specialized in the latter type. Some of the
examples of his workmanship in the Metro-
politan are indeed gems.. An interesting fact
is the way this movement was backed by
the big business men of France. Coty was’
one of the first to have his home decorated
along modern lines.

Two types of inexpensive furniture were
designed by this group. They produced Tus-
tic furniture and furniture of materials.
made simulate good furniture. This
movement to design inexpensive furniture is
of very great importance since it meets a
very urgent and widespread demand, brought
about through existing economic conditions.
The big department stores, seeing the prac-
tical value of such an innovation, were not
slow in backing this project and it is chiefly
due to their loyal support that, the movement

Mme. Caro-Delvaille then showed slides,
some of the originals of Which are on exhi-

general the designs were simple and grace-
ful. In great measure the beauty of the
grain of the wood, in the case of furniture,
was the sole decorative element, though
ivory was a favorite means of adornment.
The sources of inspiration seemed to in-
clude the entire world—England, Japan,
Mexico, Africa—all contributed some influ-
