The Christian Association did tiuch to
enliven the first few davs of college for
the freshman. Duriig the feiir days be-
fore the wppet classivei atiived; otie
methbet éf the Weléotiiing Conimittee
lived ih e@¢h hall, doing everything in her
power to make things easy. B. Loines,
’28, looked after Rockefeller Hall; J.
Stetson, ’28, was in Pembroke West, B.
Pitney, ’27, in Pembroke East; C. Field,
28, in Denbigh; B. Simeo 27, in Mer-
ion, and.C. Platt, ’27, was i Radnor.

The experiment of having\ the fresh-
men come to college a few \days early
seems to have been an unqualified’ suc-
cess, They arrived ot. Weditfesday eve-
ning, and started right in on Thursday
with appointments and physieal exami-
nations, When they were tot busy in
Taylor of the gyim, they were oveupied
with athleties. The tennis totirtiatients
were started, and aerate squads Were
organized,

Friday iiight the committee led sing-
fig on the Library steps, where they
taught the freshmen many of the college
songs, and got them interested in the
non-academic side of college. On Satur-
day the college provided a picnic supper,
which the ever busy committee served on
the grounds outside of Wyndham. This
was followed by a Barn Dance in the gym.
Miss Applebee conducted some folk
dances, but, due ‘to the heat, the most
popular feature of the evening was the
punch bowl. :

DR. FENWICK Visit an
CARNEGIE ENDOWMENT GUEST

Calls League Most Important Fact in
Political Life of Europe Today





At the invitation of the Carnegie Endow-
ment ofr International Peace, a party of some
50 professors of International Law and allied
subjects visited Paris, The Hague and

‘|}Geneva this summer with the object of

studyitig at close range the activities of the

Vvariotis international bureaus and commnis-

sions which have theit headquarters in
those citiés. Dr. Fetiwick, professor of In-
ternational Law at Bryn Mawé, was otié of
the guests of the Endowment and speaks of
the trip as one of the most interesting ey-
periences he has ever had.

In Paris the party visited the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs and was given an oppor-
tunity to examine documents of great his-
interest, stich as the treaty of 1778
between the United States and France.
Other visits were to the International Com-
mission on Aerial Navigation, the Interna-
tional Office of Public Hygiene, the National
Library, the International Institute of In-
tellectual Co-Operation, the Internatioal Bu-
reau of Weights and Meastires at Sevres,
the International Bureau of Bibliography at
Vincetines, :

At The Hague the chief interest of the
party céntered in thé “Palace of Peace, the
gift of Mr. Carnegie, where both the older
Court of Arbitriation and the newer Perma-
nent Court.of International Justice hold their
sessions. Conferences, were had with Mr.
Hammarskjold, the Registrar of the World
Cowft, and with Judge Loder, Judge and first’
President of the Court... The party also
attended a session of the Academy of Inter-
national Law.

During the first’ week of the visit to
Geneva, the group attended the sessions of -
the Geneva Institute of International Rela-
tions and had the opportunity of meeting a
number of the leading officials of the Secre-
tariat of the League of Nations. The sec-
ond and third weeks were given over to
private conferences by the group with the
technical. administrative officials of the
League, while the fourth week was spent in
attendance upon the sessions of the Councif*
and of the Assembly of the League. In addi-
tion to the two or three conferences a day
which the program called for. there were
almost daily luncheon and dinner confer-
ences and meetings. so that there was prac-
tically no leadthg statesman or administra-
tive official of whatever nationality, whether

LOST MOZART SCORE WILL
BE PLAYED BY ORCHESTRA

eens

’ Forgotten During French Revolution,

Found-Recently.



(From the Public Ledger)

A music score written and forgotten for
almost a century and a half is to be played
by the Philadelphia Orchestra when it
opens its season on October 8 and 9.

The work is one of Mozart’s compo-
sitions, lost to the world for many years
and recently brought to light in the Paris
National Conservatory by Louis Bailly,
the celebrated viola player, who pre-
sented it to Dr. Leopold Stokowski.

Some time in the years preceding the
French Revolution, the manuscript o¢cu-
pied a place in the King’s Chapel of Louis
XVI. -Then when the tide of revolt
swept the people and the Tuileries was
stormed by a maddened population that
left destruction and death in its wake, the
score was’ believed to have been removed
to. the | Paris National Conservatory.

MUNICIPAL RECEPTION AC:
CORED MISS KING IN SPAIN



Gallegan Journal Acclaims Her Splendid
Achievements,



‘From El Ideal Gallego

The distinguished professor of the uni-
versity of Bryn Mawr College of Pensyl-
vania, Miss Georgiana Goddard King, came
to La Cotimuna for Santiago. She is an en-
thusiastic admirer of Galicia to which she
has. devoted matly pages of praise in her
works. , Her studies have dealt in the mast
part with monuinents,. especially the Visi-
gothic, Mozarabi¢ and Ronfinesqué ones,
which she has recently written about in a
curious work, a book about the Way of
Saint James, followed by the Santiago pil-
grims, which she has retraced step by step.
She is also the editor of the interesting work
by Street about the churches of Spain in
which she treats at length of the churches
of Galicia. Since this was out of print, Miss
Georgiana republished it with interesting
notes. It is a pity that these were not in-
cluded when the jwork was first translated
into Spanish,

The Mayor, Sr) Manuel Chins, the tempor-
ary president of Ine Gallegan Academy, Sr.
Carres Aldac, atid the academicians Castillo
and Fernandez Moras went to réceive and
salute her. Accompanied by Senores Carras,
idk and Castillo, she returned the visit
of Sr. Casas in his office at the City Hall
and alsdé’ visited the home of the academy
where her appointment as Corresponding
Membgg of the society was conferred upon
her in consideration for her work in dis-
seminating knowledge of Galicia and_iy-
creasing its glory. 1

Miss Goddard King thanked them for this
consideration and a sign of regard which is
all the greater because there are only four
such Corresponding Members in North
America.

At the invitation of Sr. Casas luncheon
was served at the restaurant Alfonzo. Among
those present were Sr. Carres Aldao, tempor-
ary president’ of the academy; the distin-
guished journalist, Eloy -L. Andre; the
academicians Castillo and Martinez Moras
and Sr. Hernandez Robredo. During lunch
there was much cordial conversation touch-
‘ng on various literary and artistic subjects

PRESIDENT PARK PRAISES GRADUATE SCHOOL
AND FRESHMAN RECORD IN OPENING SPEECH



Outlines Responsibility of Under-
graduate to Bryn Mawr as Well
as of College to Undergraduate

STUDENTS BUILDING PROGRESSING e





. President Marion Edwards Park opened
the college year of 1926-27 on Wednesday,
September 29,° speaking in chapel.. She
stressed the change wrought in the college
atmosphere by the finovation of freshman
week, the development of the graduate ~
school. and the responsibility of the under-
graduate to the college,

“The formal opening hour of the college.
has been already preceded by so many busy
days that I can hardly bring myself to be-
lieve it is actually only this moment taking
place,” said President Park. “Always of
course the stated ‘Wednesday morning at 9
o'clock’ has followed a crescendo accele-
rando of preparation, but this year the pres-
ence of the freshmen on the campus for-a
week back has brought with it all. of the
lively movement and stir which usually dies
down after the last finging of the Taylor
bell in June and wakes only with this week
in the autumn. Will the college year go
more softly and pleasantly for an entering
class which already almost to the last man
has answered and questioned the president
and dean, transferred cards from dignitary
to dignitary, yielded up its secrets, volun-
tarily or involuntarily, to Miss Applebee,
Dr. Wagoner or Dr. Rogers, found its way
through the library and registered its initials,
M..S. 30,.H. B. 28, that silent witness of
the passing of years? This summing up of
impressions of .our experiment by dean,
warderis, tipperclassmen, the freshnien them-
selves is still to be made. At least I can at
once say that all this has been carried on in
peace and tranquillity, not in the thick of
finding class rooms, understanding assign-
ments, recognizing upper classmen, those
mazes of heat and’ sound in which the
classes from ’89 (I suppose) to ’25 (I
know) took their first exploring steps. — It
has seemed to me that to borrow James
Russell Lowell's figure the college might as
well ask a setting hen to answer the door-
bell as expect its bewildered freshmen to
keep the many and irregular appointments
of their induction te Bryn Mawr and to start
college. work at the same time. I hope.that
a good beginning of the semester may shape
a better ending than other classes have some-
times found.

The class already knows what I can an-
ounce to the college this morning, that it
has 127 members—not of every age and
condition, but of a mild variety of age and
ne condition! There have been only two
classes larger than this one—1921 with 139
members and 1927 with 129. The. highest
record in the examination close to a H. C.
average, and the lowest record of age are
‘eld Sv the same member of the class,
doctissima puclla and 13 members of the
“lass presented a credit average in their
axaminations, backed by an equally good or
better schoel record and a fanfare of trum-
pets from the heads of Yheir schools. At a
later time I shall speak at length of the
heredity, and environment, the religion and
the politics, the ambitions and the limitations
of ‘the newcomers.

“The graduate school already numbers 78
and unlike the undergraduate college its
registration is never complete until several
weeks after the opening of the year. Resi-
dent fellows in English, Romance Lan-
guages, German, Biblical Literature, History,

FOREWORD

With’ the beginning of another cole
year, the News wishes fo reiterate what lit-
tle it has of policy. This policy is, essen-
tially a charge to the whole college. We
have done our best, and shall go on t@fing,
to modify the form as well: of the matter
of the News, to keep it current, and to
widen it; we are doing our best to make it
as little of a*calendar and as much of a
definite voice in college life as we can. But
we feel very strongly that without college
interest, and, to some extent, college col-
laboration, the News is a dreary and worths
less task for us. In proportion to the help
and interest the college gives the Nrws,
is the interest and amusement and ‘energy
of the Board, ‘and, consequently, the worth
of the News.

There is as far as wé can see no limit
to the scope of the college paper except the
scgpe of the college mind, There is no
ron why the News should not deal with

* everything which does or might concern

people in college. Books, plays in Phila-
delphia or elsewhere, the orchestra, student
movements and meetings—week-end sugges-
tions—anything: at all. From the college
the News wishes especially cartoons on any
subject not personal, letters or-articles deal-
ing with experiences or opinions, comments
on happenings in college or outside—any-
‘thing at all that may help to make it not
merely four or five pages of fact and adver-
tisement, but a paper that expresses as far
as possible the feeling, the interests, the
amusements, of the community ‘in which it
is published. :



“SLOWLY BUT SURELY”
The optimists among us have received
a severe blow. Expecting to find a pen-
nant flying from the steeple of the Stu-
dents’ Building, all that they. can see is a
well-developed swimming pool, and a few
window frames.

the “progress” of this building during. the

ag@gerated, we are happy to announce.
There are some stones and girders lying
about, and. what looks like a turkey rack

We hold. out hopeo our optimists, and
suggest that they cheer up.



POSTCARD PESTS

Vacation has passed, and with it that
worst of vacation evils—the picture post-
card. On the question of the postcard,
the world is divided into two camps, those | P
who like them, and those who don’t. We
belong most. emphatically to the last
group, but made the error of expressing

r friends seemed to “~ it ¢ a huge

Now that the government. has so “cae
sideratgly . increased their postage to two’
cents, there remains, only one excuse for
sending postcards. We feel that the use
to which one man put them was justifi-
able. He sent them to himself! When-
ever he got a bright idea on his ‘vaca-

: tion he would write it down and mail it,

so when he got home,’ there it was! If
only heir use could be restricted to this,
all our objections to postcards would
vanish,



BOOK REVIEW
Sorrell & Son, by Warwick Deeping, is
one of those wellgbalanced, purposeful
books that leave you in a pleasant glow.
It has not the futile quality of so many
recent novels.

Events in the. world at large obtrude
very little into the atmosphere of the
book—this may account in some measure
for its calm. Sorfell is one of those left
derelict by the war, a captain and a gen-
tleman. He is forced to take a job as a
hotel. porter to provide for himself and
Kit, the “Son.” By dint of perseverance
and hard work he sticks to his job—the
adequate preparation. of Kit for the
world’s struggle, and is successful both in
his aim and his finances. His philosophy
of life expresses itself in toleration and
understanding, in an ardent belief in
“carrying through one’s job.” -

The development of character is natu-

rally more marked in Kit than in Stephen,
the father, “Christopher -has a-fine—per-
ception and a great sympathy for his
father. The comradeship between the
two is perfect—they have “no, secrets!”
It is an ideal situation this—the father
and son in complete understanding of one
another—too ideal perhaps to be true to
life. But this relationship is tried by sit-
uations which could break it down. Their
sympathy is not complacent but alive,
and in this fies the strength of “Sorrell
& Son.”
» A-fine book this that makes no attempt
to convey a lesson, but in its essence
must bring a message—sympathy and
friendship and toleration smooth out
many of the ruffles of life.

As a piece of writing, the flow of the
book is smooth and clear. There is no
bungling of method, no hesitation. It is
a good book to read.

(This book may be obtained at
Bryn Mawr Co-operative Store.)

A LETTER
(The Editors do not hold themselves |;
responsible for views =e in this
column.)
The the Editor-in-Chief and the Business
' Manager of the 1927 Class Book:

You who are responsible for Bryn Mawr’s





next Class Book are shortly to be faced
with the necessity of making a business con-
tract with your publishers. It is most im-
portant that you realize just what this
contract holds you down to, and what loop-
holes it leaves on both sides of the agree-
ment. Most of you have had no experience
in contracts, you do not know where you
can lay down the law, where you can insist
on the insertion of certain clauses, or the
deletion of others in the contract which
will be drawn up for your signature.
Don’t sign itMpitil somebody with experi-
ence in this particular kind of contract has
approved of it for you.

Heretofore each class has picked its own
publisher, either because they knew per-
sonally someone in the firm, or because
| someone had had some small connection
‘with him in the past and “guessed he was
all right” We cannot advise you too
strongly to be more circumspect. in your

experienced, bound to hit somt class sooner
or later. Our book did not pay, for. itself,
because the total cost was ‘not stated in the
contract—consequently we were faced with
several “extras,” totaling up to a much
larger bill than we had expected. We beg
of future Class Book managers and editors

to profit thereby that ’26 may not have lived

FRESHMAN WEEK SUCCESS — *



CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

_ On Sunday those wlio” wished to go
were taken to church, and in the after-
oon Miss Park held her reception.
Vespers were led by Beatrice Pitney, ’27.
She spoke about C. A. and about college
in general. Afterwards they sang hymns
_most enthusiastically, fairly shouting out
the numbers of those they wished to sing.

Since the upper classmen arrived the
committee has been kept busy running
the Welcoming teas in Denbigh, and fin-
ishing up the last of the freshman ap-
pointments, :

In spite of the fact that they seem to
have worked incessantly, the unofficial
opinion of the committee is that the ex-
periment was a great success. The fresh-
men have hada chance to get. settled
calmly, and started right. The few extra
days have practically eliminated that lost
“what’s it all about?” feeling which
ustially accompanies a freshman’s. first
hectic week of college. -

The members of the class of 1930 are
as follows:

Frances Atlee, Elizabeth Bachofer,

PRESIDENT PARK’S SPEECH

“CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3

or line of experiment can in a short four
years be communicated from one person in-
terested in” intellectual things to another in-
terested in intellectual things through the
medium of books or laboratories or the
various forms of discussion. It chooses even
here and presents no direct preparation. for
many ‘kinds of é€xperience and certainly no
epitome of life. Moreover it does not
promise its students interest in their work.
It holds that facts and methods in good
hands are themselves provocative and that
curiosity and interest are a part of the sound
mental equipment of the sound individual.
In any case interest is not aware that a
parent can purchase for his child from the
college ‘with a tuition fd, The primary
obligation of Bryn Mawr to the student is
to put her in possession of accurate informa-
tion’ and sound and_ honest intellectual
methods. This primary obligation has a
dozen by-products, but the college need not
set itself to making leaders or charmers out

crease the powers of
cradle gift. Further, if Bryn Mawr regards
itself as first of all a place for instruction,
the life lived here must bear its relation to
such a-direct aim and not be merely or
pleasantly approriate'to desultory intellectual
interests or to a purpose frankly amusement
seeking. ‘That Bryn Mawr believes fully in
the importance of the out-of-class room
hours of the student is shown by its early
and late insistence on residence away from
the world of the day, ‘its propaganda, its
kick, and its full provision for such resi- |
dence. Now what is the corresponding ob- |
ligation of the student to Bryn Mawr? The
only answer possible for a Bryn Mawr
trained woman to make is that the students
themselves have always defined this obliga-
Their first thoughtful step inthe
definition has always been a recognition of
the primary aim of the college and this has
logically preceded adverse as well as com-
mendatory criticism of the way in which the

——

of its students theugh it can immensely in- |
those with either }

gation of the* student and-~of the -college
must. in some. way meet squarely ; they must
move in the same planes. Limitation and
possibility on both. sides must be recognized.
The spokesman of the student for instance
can ‘not bring to the discussion the proposals
of the student of a Continental University or
oi a debutante for the college makes, not
the slightest pretense of ministering to either
jniportant group. I trust the thoughtful: stu-
dents of this year will take time to define
their @blgation and to put their definition
before us. -*

If the ral student defining her obliga-
tion to the college ‘to which she has voun-
tarily attached herself and the liberal ‘col-
lege feeling -its obligation to the student it

simultaneously stop theebored criticism of
each other that is now rife. I believe each
can accomplish safe steps toward ends they
have at heart and which are not inherently
at variance. Without an understanding of
the obligation which each great group, the
collee and its students assumes: there is little
hope of a progress which will satify either.
