WARNS AGAINST. .
COLLEGE DANGERS

Dr. Van Dusen Stresses Stand-
. ardization—Loss of Head |



and Conscience. 4

HOPE .IS IN HUMILITY]:





“A college education does strange
things,” said Dr. Henry P.-Van Dusen,
Speaking at the first Sunday evening serv-
ice of the Christian Association, in Tay?

lor on October 3. °

To one with gifts of observation and
reflection it would be interesting to draw

mechanical organism. which draws into
its mouth a freshman and after four
years turns out a different person. We
think we are “masters of our fate,” but
we are merely masters of our choices.
The first of these is college. A watcher,
observing the Process, can see the young
life kneaded and moulded, and can fol-
low its sequence in the maze of life com-
ing after.

2

Molding of the Freshman. a

One sees a freshman “naive, nervous,
perplexed, unconsciously alert,” moulded
in the direction of the “right thing.” The
hair, the clothes, the accent, even the

¢



“hand clasp assume the proper mould, de- |.......

pending on the college chosen, be it Yale
or Princeton, or Bryn Mawr.

After a year, smoking has become a
habit, or the brand of cigarettes changed

all, the process has pierced below into
the spirit. There igs a constant altert-
ness; a reaghing out; an expertness at
criticism of anything, dress, book, play,
idea or character, with no realization
that criticism is only justified in so far
as we are willing to sacrifice our life’s
blood to remedy the condition. Theré is
“an aptitude of repartee covering ‘an
abyss of ignorance;” an eagerness for
controversy in search of that truth which
can only be found by being humbtle.

Many Changes Wrought.

Four years later the emerging student
may be merely 4 more mature edition of
this Freshman, with an added touch of
cynicism. Or she may be a bundle of
uncertainties, doubtful of everything, and
without a plan for the future. But there
is a chance that it may be different. The
characteristic personality may be laid off,
and the real one, cruder, but tempered
by experience, allowed to come out. She
realizesethat ideals are never easy, but
‘they are true, and to give one’s life for
them is the only thing worth doing. She
knows where the true values of life lie,
that humanity is to be served. She is
simple, realistic and humble. a

In spite of the glory, the intellectual
stimulus, the chance to know the mean-
ing of friendship, and all the other things
we have always known that college would
bring us, it turns out many who are dis-
satisfied and unprepared to serve a needy
world. It too often turns us out “super-
ficial sophisticates.”

There are three requirements for an

BRYN MAWR REPRESENTED



Lessie Hendrick, 727, Spends July
at ‘Junior Month.”

For several years Bryn Mawr-has had
the privilege of sending a junior class.
representative to New York for the
month ef July as the guest of the Chari-
ty Organization Society. This last year,
Jessie Hendrick, 1927, was selected for
“Junior Month” and with Manhattan Is-
land for a campus and the tenements
for a laboratory, she learned, along with
juniors from 11 other colleges, how so-
cial theories jibe with facts.

Miss Clare Tousley, who has charge
of “Junior Month,” announces that i
addition to this opportunity offered to
undergraduates each July, a course in
“Principles of Social Work” is to be
offered this fall by the CRarity Organi-
zation Society to alumnae who live in or
near Néw York, and who ca volunteer
21 hours a week to social work.

“Now is the time,” writes Miss Tot-
sely, “for young alumnae who have the
leisure, to roll up the sleeves of their
college education and put it to work for
humanity. To those®who have convic-
tions about fair play, who have a zest for
adventure, an urge to put a shoulder to
the wheel of progress, the C. O. S. of-
fers not only an opportunity for service
but for training in social work.”

' Details may be secured by writing
Miss Tousley at 105 East Twenty-second
street, New York City.

Miss Tousley adds that similar op-
portunies are to be offered in other cities,
concerning which she will be glad to

SPEAKERS’ BUREAU

Undergraduate to Take Over Func-
tion of Liberal Club.

A meeting of the Undergraduate
Association was held on Tuesday, Oc-
tober 5, to determine whether the as-
sociation should take over the function
of the Liberal Club in providing speak-
ers. C. Chambers, president, told the
meeting that the present dues would
not be sufficient to cover the cest of
providing speakers. A motion was
put and carried to increase the dues
to $1.50 a semester and to have a
speakers’ bureau, the chairman of
which is to be appointed by the presi-
dént of the Undergraduate Associa-
tion. The remainder of the committee

Varsity Defeats Buccaneers.
Starting eut the season with a decided
victory Varsity defeated the Buccaneers
last’ Saturday morning with a score of
5-0. Despite the damp condition of the
field both teams played fairly fast hockey.
Considering the lack of preliminary prac-
tice, Bryn Mawr showed good co-opera-
tion. and team work.

On Varsity’s forward line B. Loines,
28, and E, Winchester, ’27, showed the
best speed and accuracy. The back field
muddled a bit and were awkward at
changing over. The forwards on the
Buccaneer line were very slow at shooting
and inclined to hesitate instead of rushing
the goalpr — ae

If it may be judged from this first
match Varsity’s prospects are very prom-
ising. The-line-ups were ‘as follows :

AT CHARITY ORGANIZATION



SOPHOMORES FAIL.



True to form and tradition last
Wednesday night, by the light of 1928’s
torches the Freshman class marched full
force to the Sophomore bonfires. Despite
the almost annual parade night drizzle
the band = struck up with great en-
thusiasm the Freshman tune of ‘Tramp,
tramp, tramp the boys are marching” to
which the Freshmen responded with:

“Tramp, tramp, tramp the blue ig march-
ing

Onward with heroic tread

Sophomores you must hustle soon

If you want to get our tune

For the class of 30’s always there ahead.”

Tie climax of the evening came at
Pembroke arch when it was discovered
that 1930 had been successful in main-
taining the secrecy of their song. 1929’s
only available answer was a cheer. This
is the first time in several years that the
Freshmen have walked away with the
honors. ?

Many alumnae were back for the
cheering and singing at Pembroke arch
which followed the bonfire dance.

TO CONDUCT CONFERENCES

Norman Angell to Lead at Women’s
Peace League. :
Norman Angell, whose previous lec-
ture tours throughout America have made
him a familiar and welcome guest, ‘is to
conduct the series of conferences on
worg affairs arranged by the Women’s
International League for Peace and Free-
dom, for five Monday afternoons begin-
ning October 18, in the Friends’ Meet-
ing House at 20 South Twelfth street,
Philadelphia.
A Prolific Author. “
His cosmopolitan education and experi-
ence makes Mr. Angell’s opinions on.such
|topics as “The Rising Tide of Dictator-
ship: Where Democracy Fails in Ameri-
ca” one of the subjects for discussion,
particularly valuable. Bagn in England,
he received part of his education in
France, part in the United States, where
he later became a journalist. He left to
go abroad as foreign correspondent for
American newspapers, and became gen-
eral manager for the Paris Daily Mail.
Meanwhile he had been writing exten-
sively on international problems, turn-
ing much attention to America and her
part in the world war. His most success-
ful book was The Great Illusion whi





underwent translation into 25 foreign
tongues and has sold well over half a

BRYN MAWR OPENS AN EXHIBIT AT
THE SESQUICENTENNIAL EXPOSITION





PICTURES

Not only for alumnae and undergrad-
uates of Bryn Mawr, but also for all
who are interested in the progress of
education, the Bryn Mawr exhibit at the
Sesquicentennial Exposition in Philadel-
phia is worthy of inspection, study, and
admiration.

The exhibit in the Educational
Building, among the exhibits of many
other educational institutions. On the
wall in the center is a poster calling at-
tention to the pioneer work of the
college in many educational fields: for
Bryn Mawr, as too few remember, wis
the first woman’s college to introduce
self-government, to establish resident fel-
lowships for foreign students and foreign
fellowships for its own students, to create
a graduate department of social economy
and social research, and to hold on its
campus a summer school for adult work-
ers in industry,

Achievements Commemorated.
On either side are bookcases contain-
ing publications of the alumnae of Bryn

C. A: RECEPTION A
NOTABLE SUCCESS

Speeches and Dancing Give



Welcome to Freshmen and
‘s2, Graduates. “4
MISS PARK LAUDS ©. A.

_ “In its’ best clothes,” the college as-
sembled for the Christian Association
reception tothe incoming freshmen and
graduates promptly at 8 o'clock Satur-
day evening, October 2, in the gymna-
sium, Each couple upon arriving made
its way down the receiving line. Then
they danced until everyone had had a
chance to meet the speakers and other
celebrities of the evening.

-B. Pitney, made the first speech.
She said that it was the custom for the
president of the Christian Association to
Welcome the freshmen and incoming
gtaduates, but this year, since the fresh- '
men had been here four days longer than
anyone else, it seemed rather impossible
to welcome them at this point. “They
must feel that they know their way
‘| arqund after ten days. But there is a
great deal more to knowing one’s way
) around Bryn Mawr than merely knowing
the way from Taylor to Dalton. It is
to the chance of getting to know Bryn
Mawr in a way that takes longer than
ten days or ten weeks,’ or even four

years, that I welcome you,” Pr tah
. Miss Park Speaks. "el



Introducing Miss Park, Miss Pitney
quoted an old Spanish proverb, “He who :
seeks _ the _ wealth. of the —Indies—must
have the wealth of the Indies within him.”

Miss Park spoke about C. A., poititing _
out its importance to the college through
its’ many activities, such as conducting
Sunday evening services, providing teach-
ing for the maids, and the work of the
Welcoming Committee. But C. A. has
another, more intangible service. “Dur-
ing the year each Bryn Mawr student
must find a new way of living. C. A,
helps in this. Christianity -has two mean-
ings, it is concerned with the spiritual life
of the individual, and also with the in-
terrelation of lives, or ‘the spirit of work-
ing together.’ It is for the help in this
respect that the college is perhaps more
grateful to the Christian Association than
for any of its outside activities.”

Miss Pitney announced that the next
speaker was absent. Miss Applebee,
whose speech at C. A. reception has al-
most become tradition, has been called i
to Washington. However, a substitute :
was sought, and found, difficult though it

might be to substitute for Miss Applebee,

in the person of one “who has hardly

ever been a substitute for anything in

her life,” J. Seeley, ’27.

J. Seeley Speaks.

Miss Seeley began her remarks about

the Athletic Association by saying: “In

the Jatter part of the eighteenth century

Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity.

Soon afterwards someone discovered Miss
Applebee.” She compared her to a dyna-

mo, the Athletic Association td a trans-

former directing all',this energy, and her-

‘A SPEAKERS’ BUREAU?
Last spring, the >Liberal Club

quietly dissolved. Only a-~half-
dozen people attended the last meet-





would have feen felt. by the: ma-
jority of the college this year had
the Undergraduate Associatior, not
takeri rheasures to remedy the situa-
tion.

_ Originally started as an organiza-
tion for political discussion, “the
scope of the Liberal Club brgad-
ened until it was supplying speak-
ers on many topics. Gradually it
became purely a speakers’: bureau.
The expense of paying for these
speakers was borne by the members
of the Liberal Club—a small pro-
portion of the undergraduates. Yet
the club could not exclude non-
‘members from popular lectyyes, be-
cause the audience would have been
too small; nor from the less popular,
because there would have been
hardly any audience at all. It could
not charge admission, for then the
speaker’s. fees would have been ad-
vanced disproportionately. The time
came when it could not continue
just as a speakers’ bureau with its
few members carryinf such a heavy
burden.

While the Round Table had taken
over the function of discussion, no
provision was left for providing our
speakers. It would have been hard
to forego listening to such people as
Dr. Alice Hamilton, Carl Sandburg,
or Anna Louise Strong, who are
some of those who were brought
here last year by the Liberal Club.

As a remedy for our speakerless
condition a speakers’ bureau has

to open by dissecting, or whatever they

right or fair, after they have worked
so hard all summer to get those few

Can’t someone do something about this?

It is remarkable how much modern

cent article that “So’your old man” had
its counterpart in the war time expres-
sion “Et ta soeur.” Then we discovered |

expression meaning exactly the same as
“High hat.” There are no doubt many
others, it would be interesting to find out
how many. Oh, we -just thought of

AMONG NEW BOOKS



The Turn of the Century ‘is the title
of the first volume of a series, Our
Times, by Mark Sullivan, the purpose
of which is to tell the history of the
first quarter of the Twentieth Century.
And by- history, Mr. Sullivan under-
stands far more than wars and politics.
This is his own explanation, of his
endeavor: “to follow an average Ameri-
can through this quarter century of
his country’s history, to recreate the
flow of the days as he saw them, to
Picture events in terms of their in-
fluence on_him, his. daily life and ulti-
mate destiny. The aim is to appraise
the actors of history and their activities
according to the. way that they affect-
ed the average man, the way he felt
about them, the ways in which he was
influenced by his leaders, and in which
he influenced them.”
With this in mind, he tells in detail,
not only about the political campaigns,
but about that against yellow fever;
not only of the economics of the free-
silver issue, but of the styles in songs,
dress, and dogs, gives the records of
prize cows and hens, and illustrates with
jokes from Life. 5
Altogether, a vivid and interesting
picture is drawn of the age in which
our parents were young. Mr, Sullivan
writes of all this with first-hand knowl-
edge of the field; he was twenty-five in
1900 (so he tells us) and this period
of which he writes, then, covers. his
most active and significant years, As
a newspaper reporter. and a_ student
and commentator on the current politi-
cal situation he was fitted by thése
years to undertake the task of writing
Our Times,
The first volume is devoted in large
part to a general survey of conditions
around 1900.° Bryan.and free silver are
considered (the proof of this part was
read by Bryan himself, and Mr. Sullivan
embodies his comment. in a foot-note).
The beginning of the automobile is de-
scribed, and. comments are made on
the change, going on’so rapidly at that
time, from the older, simpler type of
life that was much. the same as that

Education all too often tries to per-

before us as with a telescope. There
is a need of the humility of knowledge:

Education often sends us out “conven-

THE COLLEGE NEWS

‘If we had‘a derogatoty opinion
of religion, it would not be because of,
any weakness of the church, or God, but
because religion was not fashionable. In
the East, one niust be able to talk intelli-
gently about religion. ““God forbid! As
though it were a subject to be discussed,
and not a life to be met!” :

If we go out of college unsatisfied, it
is because college has taken two things
from us. The first is. that inner monitor
of our souls, call it conscience or arty-
thing else, it is the norm to which’ we
brought the problems of life. We dis-
trusted it, failed to use it, so it dissap-
peared, and there is nothing in its place
except perhaps conventionality. We may
have thought-of it as a childish, thing, but
it should have been allowed to mature
and grow.

Enthusiasm Discouraged.

The second thing that college may take
is “some compelling enthusiasm.” It: may
send us out devoid of enthusiasm, lacking
faith in. our own ideals.

moral enthusiasm. “The idealistic leader-
ship of life is born from a sense of inner
autonomy. When we lose that we lose
our usefulness.”

These are a glorious four years, there
is no need that the cloud of pathos should
hang over them.

“A sower went forth. to sow—and
some seed fell upon good ground. Dare
we say that good ground is a life which
is humble, independent, enthusiastic, and
believes that the ideals of intuition at its
best are real?”

Wells on Education.

Univers ty educat.on is under*the dis-
favor of Mr. H. G. Wells, according to
an article from him in the September
issue of Hearst’s Internationak and Cos-
mopolitan magazine.

Since the war, Mr. Wells says, it has |
become “verk evident” that the day of
Oxford and Cambridge “as the main
ruclei of the general education of a great,
empire draws to an end.” At both, he
insists, “there is a tradition of irrelevance
ewhich only the ‘most resolute workers

. *-

estape.”
Instead of going to college Mr. Wells
believes that “as early as fifteen or six-
teen, a youth should be brought into con-
tact with realities and kept in contact |’
with realities from that, age on. That
does not mean that he will make an end
of learning’ then, but only that henceforth
he will go on‘ learning—and continue
ledrning for the rest of his life—in rela-
tion not to the ‘subject’ of a curriculum
but to the realities he is attacking.”—

Unlimited Cuts for
Haverford Upper Classmen
One of the most drastic changes ever
proposed at Haverford will be submitted
to the faculty for approval this week |
when the proposal for unlimited cuts will |
be discussed at a faculty meeting. This
change has already been carried unani-
miously before the Students’ Association,
and awaits only the sanction of the ad-
ministration to make it an accomplished
fact. =
For the last few years there has been
considerable agitation in college in, favor
of the institution of some more liberal
cut allowance for upper-classmen. Prac-
tically all of the various plans suggested,
however, limited the privilege to those



juniors and seniors who were able to at-|-

tain and maintain a certain high average
of scholarship. The dean now proposes
to grant the freedom to all upper-class-
men, regardless of grades, with two con-
ditions attached.

The first of these provides that no cuts
be taken on the two days immediately
following a vacation. The second and
more important gives the dean the right
to exercise his discretion in withdrawing
the privilege from any student by placing
him on probation. This second condition
is intended to act as a check on those
students who show a tendency to abuse
the liberty allowed them if the plan
materializes.

PRAISES SUMMER SCHOOL |

Philadelphia Journal Commends
Bryn Mawr’s Service.

From the Bulletin of August 6.
The sutnmer school for wage-earning
gitls at Bryn Mawr has become estab-
lished as annual institution and ac-
corded recognition as of national im-
port. Widely separated sections of the
country were represented by the 102
young women who have been attending
the school this year.

The opening og this school and its
peculiar ‘appeal to wage-earning young
women was an: innovation in the col-
lege world. To Bryn Mawr’s reputation
for libetal thought there was added the
report of the frankly avowed purpose
of some of the students to use the ad-
vantages the school offered to further
socialistic or otherwise revolutionary
ideals. It was perhaps natural that
there should be created the suspicion
of a taint, and that found lodgment in
many minds.

But Bryn Mawr may be said to have
proved herself. rs is the kind of
liberalism that digs for facts and does
not fear to study the reactionary doc-
trines of Marx and his ilk and put them
to the test of truth. Communism. is
one of the uneconomic experiments that
history consistently explodes. The Ameri-





ranks of capital or labor, views the: re-
lation of the worker to industry and to



can industrial economist, whether in the.

society at large without delesanags these





days. The™mah who tries to tell of=|
ganized labor that «it is a class: ‘apait, |
and can so “act; and not an integrated
and 4ndivisible part of social, ‘industrial
and national life, is, hooted as an igno-
ramus.

Bryn Maiyr serbupett good ‘social serv-
ice in- giving women workers an in-
side look at college life, an intimate
touch with the academic m#nd, a better
balanced ‘outlook on a side of affairs
which with their daily tasks at home
are not likely to bring them in familiar
contact. :

Most industrial troubles are due to
minunderstanding. As a builder of good
understanding and good, faith, the value
of-the Bryn Mawr® summer school must

|not be underestimated.
