BIRTH CONTROL,SAYS MRS.SANGER

Spéaker Gives Seven Cases Where
Birth Control Should Be Used

Mrs. Margaret Sanger, president of the
American Birth Control League, spoke in
Taylor Hall on November 21 on Birth
Control, which she defined as “the scien-
tific control of conception to prevent
birth.”* The lecture was under the aus-
pices of the Liberal Club.

Discussing the problems of civilization
such as the pressure of over-pepulation,
and feeble-mindedness, she quoted statis-
tics of Professor--Jordan of Princeton,
showing that there are among 105 million
people, “20 million who are intellectual,



45 million with a mentality of 4 years, 25

million who are mediocre, and 15 million
feeble-minded.” For this situation the
remedies of legislation and charity ‘have.
been tried out. But “nearly every organi-
zation today is palliative; it does not dare
to. attack these problents at the rodt.”

lar problems with: which Birth Control

high—20,000 women die every year from

“Annual Meeting in Washi |

The Council of the Bryn Mawr ‘Abia
nae Association at its fourth annual meet-
ing in Washington, opening on Tuesday,
November 18, recommended that the As-
sociation take over the raising of funds for
the Music Department, os

Forty thousand dollars of the eum of
three hundred thousand dollars set by the
council has already been raised by the
Committee for the Endowment of the
Music Department.

The purpose of the Council is to gather
together the chief executives of the Alum-
nae Association and representatives from
the last graduating class in order to dis-
cuss problems affecting the Association
and to deliberate on the policies of the
Association. The Council forms a smaller
and more manageable body than. the
whole Association and while it does not
take action, it deliberates on matters to
be brought up at the Alumnae meeting
in February. Jean Palmer and Marion

NORMAN THOMAS HOLDS

Possibility of Third Party Discussed
and New Bases for Formation Suggested



“Do the election results offer hope for
the creation of a new party similar to the
British Labor Party?” was the chief topic
discussed at the Philadelphia ¢@onference}’
of the Leag
on Saturday, November 22.

Norman~Thomas, who fan on the’ so-
cialist ticket for Governor of New York
in the recent elections, led the discussion
to which Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore, Hav-
erford, and the University of Pennsyl-
vania sent students. K. Tomkins, ’26, and
E. Mallett, ’25, went from Bryn Mawr.

Why was the college vote .so over-
whelmiggly conservative? asked Mr.
Thomas as an opening remark, and ex-}
pressed the opinion that there was a great
deal-of uncorrelated and incoherent lib-
eralism in the colleges.

'. Going on toa rapid survey of the cam-
paign it was the consensus of opinion that
it was not’ a thoughtful campaign and

+that-people in general did- not consider} “

policies. Mr. Thomas ‘brought out the
point’ that the lack of interest: in policies
results from the ‘similarity. of ‘the ‘two
older parties, and he also’ stressed ‘the
fact, that there. is greater divergence
within the parties than’ between them, .

* Coming to the point of the possibility of a
third party the discussion. first centered
around the constituents of such a party.: Mr.
Thomas said he personally’ felt doubtful}
about the formation of a third party with
individuals.
cess lay: in forming it with a definite group
such as the farmers or labor-as a nucleus.
“If you can’t get: them,” he said, “it’s
not very probable that a third party can
be made,- -It can’t. be done-on good in-
tentiors.” That there is some basis for
‘belief in a third party, however, was

shown by the fact.that there was such a}

panic over it in the last elections. ‘This |

DARK BLUE FIRST TEAM WINS
HOCKEY CHAMPIONSHIP

Miler Defeat 1927 in in Thrilling Match

The Juniors won the Hockey Chani-
pionship for the year by defeating 1927
in an exciting game, Wednesday, the
19th, with the score of 5-to-3.

The game was closer than tlie score
indicates, for every gain was hard won.

In the first half the playing was -very
close. The ball traveled up and down
the field, each side playing a desperately
defensive game, but 1926 shot two goals
after much hard fighting, which were
followed by two swift goals for 1927.

1926 came into the second half with'a
rushing spirit that carried them trium-
phantly through the Sophomore back
line. The Green seemed unable to check
Dark Blue’s victorious advance or rush
the ball to the opponents’ goal. Just be-
fore thewhistle blew, R, Miller, ’27, broke
away, carried the ball down the field at
top spee d shot a pretty goal:

'1926—E. Cushman, E. Nichols*, W.
Dodd**, F. Jay*, M. Talcott*, M. ‘Wiley,
B. Sindall, S. Walker, E. Harris, H. Rod-
gers, G. Macy.

The program will include the F-majér
Quartet of Haydn, Opus 77, No. 2, otie
of the two dedicated to Prince Lobko-
witz; a group of four short pieces’ for
quartet and the famous trio for piano,
violin, and -’cello -by Tschaikowsky. “The
latter work, dedicated “to the memory
of a great artist,” was Tschaikowsky’s
tribute to the memory of his great. friend,
Nicholas Rubinstein, a fine pianist and
younger. brother of the more famous
Anton Rubinstein. The trio was writ-
ten the same year as Rubinstein’s’ death
and is(a monumental elegy ‘to his mem-
ory.’ The second movement: is in ‘the
form of variations on a Russian melody,

two weeks ago, -+; +16, morality which .is |

anything?” asked Mrs. “Sanger in return.

The answer seems’ obvidus. ’ But’ one
wants to’ go-even deeper than this and
ask, “What is morality?” Acccofding to.
the dictionary, mortality may. mean either
the doctrine of a man’s moral duties or
moral conduct. It is with the latter prac- ].
tical méaning that we are here-concerned.
To say that morality means moral con-

for what is moral conduct? The conclu-
sion, inevitable if one is well-informed
and honest, is that “morality” today
usually—mean—conformity~ with ‘the ~ac=]
cepted standards of society in regard to
relations between men and women.

This conclusion is of fun amehtal im-
portance. If our “moral standards” are
relative, which in the light of history and
anthropology one must admit to be true,
then they are open to criticism and
change. They are not the result of divine
revelation, but of certain psychological,

economic and social conditions: Change
any of these ‘factors, and the {‘moral
Istandards” must change. The proof of

this fact is found in the new attitude
toward “morality” which is the aftermath
of the war. Recognizing the existence of
this ‘change, the New York Nation re-
‘eently published a series of admirable
articles dealing with the question and
called by the significant title, “New Morals
for Old. A review of the series will be
published in a coming issue of the COL-
LEGE NEWS.

Our “‘morality” is. the ténderest Spot on
our’ social conscience. * We may even
question the perfection of democracy and
‘be respectable, “but «to question _ the
sanctity of our institution of marriage is’
to put oneself beyond the pale. We are
afraid to face the problem honestly, even
‘though it is only. thus that progress ever
comes. If we do not do so of. our own
‘accord, we will find it thrust upon us: We
jask again, what is morality? :

course, of thinking of progress in the cut

will make little or no difference to you as
far as overcutting goes. We ask it merely
that we may present an accurate record

CONFERENCE ON THIRD PARTY

leads to the conclusign that the machine
is not-considered omnipotent by its adher-
ents.

After supper the discussion continued,
Mr, Thomas asking the leading question,
“What are the conditions that would favor
a new party?” Professor Jesse Holmes,
of Swarthmore, offered as his opinion
that there is a real necessity for a third
party even if only a, small one, that it is
a “matter of self-respect and there should

‘be a third party to express ‘the opinions

of people whose attitude is national and
not personal.” The old party platforms
‘are all about business and finance, and do
not form a basis for effective policies or
really Democratic government.”

- “But why not use’ the Socialist party,
since it is already organized, as a basis for

the third party?” was a question put at

this point. The chief okjection to this
seemed to be that the term Socialism was

completely misunderstood in America and

only serves to rouse implacable opposition
among the people who fai} to understand
its “exact meaning. “But,” said Mr.
Thomas, “the Socialists. feel that if you
get a labor party at all it can only develop
along socialistic lines,” and he pointed to},
the La Follette platform as proof of this.
“Mr. La Follette protests that he is not
a Socialist and yet everything biting and

rand Miss Henrietta she created a yery

long stride and masterly way with-“fol-

one in every home! No one on the stage
was more real, of better deserved her
applauding laughs.

Of the principal roles, Alice Matthew
as Valentine Brown, was handsome but
weak. In her use of voice and: gesture
she was often monotonous, and in the last
two acts failed to combine her charming

‘| modesty with enough of the more ag-

gressive masculine quality needed as a
foil-to the softness of Miss Susan and
her sister. .

Doubtless the lack of warmth inisome
of the acting of women’s parts was due
to the difficulty of projecting a twentieth
century personality into the feminine type

fof the Napoleonic: period. Miss Susan,

for example, seemed not quite . fervent
enough in moments of sudden. distress.
Elizabeth Nelson's performance was,
retharkably. finished and neat.
Nothing could have been better than the

way she opened the algebra and gazed at
‘its mysterious cdiitents, or her nervous-

ness in Captain ‘Brown’s presence. Her
gestures and infléttions were excellent.
‘Certainly there’ was never a lovelier
Phoebe than Jatte Sullivan. Though, per-

that is, if by se and glorious good luck
you are able to beg, borrow or steal a book
at.all., The greatest pleas of the Russian
tefugee students were for text-books and
drawing materials. What. is ‘a little mat-
ter of food and cloththg?

the other terms by which our respective
student quarters are known. But after all,
the superficiality of much of student “life

only the’ bare: bones of the “seagch” left.
The old days when philosophers used to sit
about and discuss how. many angels could
dance on the tip point of a needle do not
seem so long ago when in the midst of a
real student discussion—at least there is the
same devotion to, untiring argument about
questions that are often heard in an Ameri-
can university otitside of the debating so-
ciety or the lecture room. European ’stu-
dents have always been devoted to ‘knowl-
edge, and if they are learning to apply their
knowledge as never before they have these
same conditions of misery and. want to
thank.

Relations Between Faculty and Students,

While little of undergraduate life.comes
‘under the personal influence of professors,
for the usual relation of student and pro-
fessor is not that of “hail fellow well met,”
there are «individual men who have a great
deal of understanding for the problenas of
undergraduate life and plenty of tolerance
in trying to help the student see his. way
through difficulties.
give the credit that is due to the devotion
of these men who have stuck at the hard
and ill-paid job gf teaching through ,these
last difficult years. I have seen, moreover,
a certain professor, of the higher Technical
Institute with his wife’s kitchen apron over

his neat cutaway suit, helping in. the build-}

ing of the student colony. There was no
sense of superiority in that man’s attitude,
nor. was tolerance lacking in. my Czech
philosophy professor who used to give lee
tures in German at the German University.

As a laborer ‘and skilled workmar the
European student-has lately served hig timé
as an apprentice. In Prague through -the
efforts of a committee of students, a sum
of money was granted by the President of
the, Republic to erect student dormitories.
Land was given by the city to use for a
colony of student buildings; firms and in-
dividuals gave materials toward this work
and the finished colony today affords living
quarters for nearly 700 students. The nine
(two more are planned) buildings, ¢om-
prising the’ colony, are all the restilts of
the labor of men and women students en-
rolled: in the University of -Prague. Not
only were the kitchens manned and run. by
students, mostly women, but the digging for
foundations, the carpentering, all .of ‘the
heavy and skilled work was agin ae
by students who in this. way garned a’ right
to'a place in the colony. The work was
directed by upper classmen in the engineer-
ing schools: with a few, paid foremen. It
stands as a monument to what grit and
necessity can dé. In the early days of the
enterprise, the townspeople were so amazed
at the unheard-of thing’ of studénts. work-
ing with their hands as laborers, that they

‘used to flock to the building lots. to. view

the curious sight... This curiosity was a
temptation to the busy business committee
who planned to capitalize it. Beginning
with: a national holiday, October 28, ° the
birthday of the Republic, admission was
charged to see, students at. work. ‘Over

MR. AL ALWYNE TO BE PIANO

SOLOIST WITH ORCHESTRA

Director of Music. has Appeared in
Public in England and Germany

On Friday, December 5, Horace Al-
wyne, pianist and Director of Music at
Bryn Mawr College, ‘will be soloist with
the Philadelphia‘ Symphony Orchestra.

He will play Strauss, Burlesque, for
Piano and Orchestra, and Franck, Varia-
tions Symphoniques, for Piano and Or-
chestra. Atterberg’s Symphony No. 2, in
F major, and two Nocturnes of Debussy,
Nuages and Fetes, make up the rest of the
concert. The following note is taken
from the Philadelphia Orchestra program:

“Horace Alwyne was born near Man-
chester, England, on October 13, 1891.
He comes of a musical family, both his
father and uncle being distinguished pian-
In England he stud-
ied=under Max Mayer, a pupil of Lizst,
and, in Berlin, under Michael von Zadora,
Polish pianist and protege of Busoni, He
made his first public appearance at the age
of eleven, and his first appearance with
orchestra at fourteen, when he played
Beethoven’s C major concerto. At six
teen he won the Sir Charles Halle. Memo-
rial Scholarship, which carried with it the
privilege of studying for four years at the
Manchester Royal College of Music. He
was the youngest student who had ever
won this prize. When still a student he
conducted-—-an—orchestra—and_— chorus. in
Manchester, and, at:the end of his course,
graduated with: distinction and was
awarded the Gold. Medal of the college.
Mr. Alwyne has given recitals in Eng-



land, Geghany and Austria, and in this}

country, and has-appeared with the Halle
Orchestra in England, and the New York
Philharmonic, Russian and Detroit Sym-
phony Orchestras. With the latter or-
chestra he also! appeared as conductor
leading his own work, “Danse Fantas-
tique.” Mr. Alwyne has recently been
made an Honorary Fellow of the Royal
College of Music, Manchester. At pres-
ent he is Director of Bkysic at Bryn Mawr
College.”



MRS. SANGER SPEAKS
Mrs. Sanger said, “I predict that in. 10
years’ time Child Labor will be still con-
tinuing. You wilt never end Child Labor
until you stop having children in the
home whom the father cannot support.

“We have laws to keep out of the coun-
try certain kinds of people; while we have
laws to increase the same kinds of people
within the country.” On questions of
population, such as the crowding in Ger-
many before the Great War, Mrs. Sanger
quoted the English economist, Keynes, to
the effect that the League of Nations and
other international dealings would. be
valueless without a consideration of mat-
ters connected with population..

Finally the specific , cases requiring
Birth Control were described. It should
be practised, according to Mrs. Sanger,
when a couple has. a transmissible dis-
ease, or have had subnormal children
(even though normal. themselves); and
when ‘a woman has a temporary disease.
Also no woman should have a child be-
fore she is 22 years old, and “there should

‘be at least two years and possibly three

between the births of children.” More-
over “no couple should have more chil-
dren than they can economically and de-
cently provide for.’ Mrs. Sanger also
urged that Birth Control be practised for
‘a year or two after marriage in order
that a closer understanding may develop
between husband and wife before they
have children.

“The actual information about the ‘ ‘per-
fectly natural and hygienic function” of
Birth Control has in Holland for the last
35 years been disseminated through clinics
in the: congested’ districts. As a result |
Holland shows not’ only a. falling birth- |

United States: To the latter in the last
two’ years 3000 mothers have come; of
these 31 per cent. were Jewish, 32 per
cent, Catholic, and 33 per cent. Protestant.
At present’ efforts are being made to es-
tablish other clinics throughout the coun-
try in the crowded. districts.

While the scientific aspects of Birth
Control belong to the medical profession,
“the theoretical side belongs to,us, educa-
tors and laymen, tg apply a.stimulus in
the conduct of life.” It is for us to over-
come “ignorance and prefidice.”

BORAH ON .,THE PROTOCOL:

right. to say when application of sanc-
Of course the United
States could never contemplate joining
under these conditions. The very thought
of this would drive vast numbers of those

who are now supporters of the League

into opposition.”

“Do you think that there is any hope
of our recognizing Russia soon?”

“We will, in time, inevitably recognize
Russia; there is no escape from it. Sena-
tor Lodge himself said, when we were
debating the question of recognition, a
year and a half ago, ‘the difference be-
tween us is.one of time only.’ Those who
have been‘ prophesying that the present
Government of Russia would fall, are
almost out of commission _as_ prophets.
We are the only great nation except
Japan who has not recognized Russia,
and, in my judgment, Japan may be ex-
pected to recognize her at any moment.”

“Do you think that it was necessary to
deal as summarily with Japan as we did?”

“The Japanese situation has been irri-
tated by the manner in which we have
dealt with it for several years. Once a
definite policy has been establishéd
toward Japan; it will be accepted. I have
personally a great admiration for the
Japanese as a people. We ought to be
most careful in dealing with them, but
we cannot yield on vital problems. We
must maintain our rights without unduly
irritating Japan, and that is what I should
like to see done. It is one of my last
wishes to offend Japan, but we have got
to establish our gwn doctrine of immigra-
tion.”

ing and the tenth barrack. The students
did their, best; the idea was right and in
spite of faults made, it came through. It
won even the sympathies of organized labor
and on Sunday skilled workmen came to
give their services to the students. Even
in time of .a certain strike a whole factory
crew.came and offered free help, which was}
something unheard of before. Czech le-
gionnaries also gave their services.
“Today the colony is fully occupied by
students. [t has a Board of Trustees which

j includes representatives of ministries, stu-

dent bodies, the city, and friends of students.
It also has student autonomy to regulate
it@inner life. All is not faultless because -it
is new and needs development. But the
value of the colony, regardless of the fact
that it housed 750 students in the worst
crisis, is: in the pioneering example. giver.
Students can work with their hands, In-
stead of sending protests and petitions they
can start work and help themselves. And
now most of the Sokol unions which build
their gymnasiums and clubhouses have
adopted this scheme of self-help and get
quick and cheap results by the manual co-
operation of their members.

“So the colony in Letna, sitting on one of
the hills of Prague, facing the glory of the
setting sun over the towers of the great
cathedral of St. Vitus and the castle of
Hradcany marks a new epoch in our nation-
al life and shall forever remain as a vic-
torious sign of a new ideal.”

Student. Home Given by “Y”.
This really tremendous undertaking was
made possible to a great extent, I believe,
by the’ gift from the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W.
C. A. of a student home the previous year,
to all of the students in Prague, irrespec-
tive of race, nationality or creed. The foyer
could accommodate 6000 members with
its study rooms, baths, cafeteria, clinic, as-
sembly room and separate men’s and wom-
en’s wings containing social rooms, rest
rooms and so forth. When we say accom-
modate we mean that when the membership
reached 6000, which was shortly after the
opening, the house was so crowded from
seven in the morning until closing time at
night that you couldn’t have found space
for an extra wastepaper basket. This foyer
is absolutely the only thing in the way of
students’ house in the entire city. It would
take a vastly longer article than this to
tell of the uses and the needs of the Stu-
dentsky Domov, Prague.

Soon after the opening of this foyer,
the number of refugee students, which up
to that time had been only/a few hundred,
increased to several thousand. Since that
time, separate factilties’ have” had to be or-
ganized to meet at all the demand. for study
of these men and women who are most of
them almost through their courses. ‘Money
has again been raised from America to
build a wing on to the Student Home to
