‘LARGE CROWD ATTENDS
“Reciting her original monologues tae
the benefit of the Alumnae Regional
Séholarship Fund, Cornelia Otis Skinner:
delighted a large agdience of students at
Bryn Mawr in Wyndham, on Thursday
evening, October 14th. :
Miss Skinner’s. monologues alternated
the satiric and the tragic. Her inter-
pretations are sensitive and never exag:
gerated, her gay sense of humor alto-
gether delightful.
Chiefly memorable: was her cunderiae
of “a certain type of Southern girl in
the Sistine Chapel,” ;torn between the ne-
cessity of doing the show, and her in-
___clination to discuss with her new found
compatriot the hundreds of people “she
knew at V. M. I.
Then followed a tragic gcene of a
Parisian midinette sending off her Amer-
ican lover, done -with restraint and in-
sight,
- The American girl in Paris, telephon-
ing to her dressmaker while reviewing
Montmartre night life with a friend, the
English lady in a Continental train with
airy disdain for American fellow travel-
ers until she found that they were well
connected—these types were very amus-
ingly conveyed.
--Full of dignity and pathos were the
renderings of the consumptive dancer | °
on the three-a-day, snowbound in an
Iowa station, and the girl of the Bar-
badoes, who had three drops of black
blood in her.
Earlier in the afternoon Miss Skinner
gave a similar performance, open to the
public, which filled the music room.
“BUCHS” BEAT SUB-VARSITY
Lack of Teamwork and Surplus of
Energy Characterize Game. _
The Buchaneers defeated Sub-Varsity
on Saturday morning, right after the
German Oral. Perhaps it was for this
reason that the college team did not par-
ticularly shine. They put up a fairly
- good fight, however, and for a time it
looked as though they might conquer
the valiant Buchaneers. But the visit-
ing team, playing a stupendous game,
came out ahead with the close score of
4-3.
Both sides showed a lack of team
work, very evidently. the result of not
‘having played together very, often. It
was neither a very scientific, nor a very
exciting game. No one was remark-
“able, although E. Winchester was per-
haps the best, and E. Brodie made some
pretty: rushes toward the goal. Miss
Bartle played a very competent right
halfback for the Buchaneers;and on the
forward line M. Buchanan and Mrs.
Wilbur were tireless in their efforts,
while A. Adams made a reliable center.
Line-ups :
Sub-Varsity: A. Newhall, 97; R. Mil-
ler, ’27 (captain); E. Winchester,

FAITH, NOT MONEY,
CREATES GREATEST POWER
Dr. Albert Cohoe Explains Christ's
First Temptation.’
Speaking in chapel on Sunday evening,
October 17th, the Rev. Albert Cohoe
pointed out the meaning of Christ’s first
“Tts he said,
“usually escapes us because none of us
feel that we have supernatural powers |
that might be turned to our own advan-
tage, but the modern analogy to super-
natural power is the power of money.
What can the man who uses
this unintelligently, selfishly, beiying his
way through life, get of comfort or
faith?”
When Jesus was tempted to turn stone
into bread for His Own use He did not
do it, He refused to: use His power.
Again, later in His career when His
disciples realized that He was a Mes-
siah, and He told them that He’ must
go to Jerusalem and suffer, they did not
believe that He, the Son of God, would
really suffer; it could not happen; He
might go-through the motions, but if
He were really divine nothing could hurt
Him. But Christ refused to dally with
this thought. He told them not to fight
for Him, ‘as He had twelve legions of
angels, if He wanted them. The_ sig-
nificant thing is that He did not call
them.
The modern counterpart of this is the
power of money; and if it is used un-
reasoningly, as the spoiled child uses its
cry to get what it wants, it is the same
as though Christ had used His power
to“turn stone into bread.
There has never been so much wealth
in the world. -In America there are now
enough automatic machines to do the
work of fifty slaves per person. Never
have we had such power to get what we
want. And how are we using it? By
snapping our fingers and making de-
mands... All over Europe, Americans are
snapping their fingers, and Europe. had

VARSITY VICTORIOUS
OVER MAIN LINE
Energy of Attack Is Secret of Bryn
Mawr’s Success.
The Main Line Hockey Team fell be-
fore varsity’s unrelenting attack, on Sat-
urday, October 16th. The final score of
7-0 tells its own story.
Bryn Mawr’s forward line worked to-
gether remarkably well, and was backed
up by a sure defense. Right from the
beginning of the first half the team
started a series of successfuf rushes, car-
rying the ball down the field; but when
the circle was reached, a lamentable
weakness in shooting manifested itself:
There the game was slowed’ up by scrap-
py playing and the necessity for many
corners.
Since it was almost entirely an offen:
sive game, the most outstanding individ-
ual players were those on the forward
line. E. Stix played an extraordinarily
fast centre, working with her inners and
rushing the goal. The wings were both
good, saving the ball on the sidelines,
thus avoiding many roll-ins, H. Tuttle
kept her position well, doing a great deal
of valuable work on her side of the field.
On the other side S. Longstreth worked
persistently; during the second half she
took a beautiful long dribble down the
field, past the interfering backs, to where
she got a clear shot into the goal.
The. backs, especially J. Seeley, kept
themselves busy retrieving the ball for
the forwards, and were so successful that
A. Bruere, in the goal, had little chance
to show éter prowess.
The Main Line team was quite out-
‘|classed by varsity’s energy and punch,
but their backs put up a plucky fight;
Lydia Morris was noticeable for her
good playing, and the goal, Mrs. Lar-
man, saved a great many shots, holding
the score down as well as possible.

GLEE CLUB TRYOUTS
Tryouts all this week niark the begin-
ning of a bigger and better Glee Club.
Since the dissolution of last year’s group
after the Mikado, it was decided to start
at-the beginning and have an entirely
new basis of admission. All of last
year’s cast are urged to try out imme-
diately as well as those who have not
been successful in former trials.
It is hoped that this scheme of mem-
bership ‘will be met with the greatest
enthusiasm. All. Freshmen are encour-
aged to make their appearance early.
The various times for tryouts will be
posted and announced: in every hall this
week.

which E.’Dikeman, ’28, is the president,
held its first meeting of the year affd /
outlined its program for the season of .
1926-27, on Tuesday, October 12.
A membership drive, it was decided,
will be held this week from Monday to
Wednesday. Slips will be left on the
door of each student, and all those eli-
gible who wish to join will be enrolled.
The membership will be less restricted
‘this year than last; any one having taken
or taking one year of college science
ean be an active member, and any one
interested in science can be an associate,
_The Club plans some interesting inno--
vations in the program this year. Trips
will be taken to such places as the mint,
the Breyer Ice Cream Factory, the Penn-
sylvania Biological Gardens and the Mid-
vale Steel Works. The Club also plans
to have six speakers on scientific sub-
jects during the course of the year, and
to hold various social functions, such as ,
receptions, a tea, and a picnic in the
spring.
In closing Miss Dikeman said she
thought many people in college would
welcome these opportunities for investi-
gating the problems of science, and that ,
she looked forward to a successful year.

GOLDEN "ANNIVERSARY
‘OF. JOHNS HOPKINS
This week will be especially sig-
nificant to Bryn Mawr as marking
the fiftieth anniversary of the
founding of Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity. Bryn Mawr, as stated in its}
catalogue, .provides courses corre-
sponding exactly to the Preliminary
Medical Course of the Johns‘ Hop-
kins University. Thus students are
enabled to begin with serious study
at the Johns Hopkins Medical
School.directly after receiving their
A. B. at Bryn Mawr. Many Bryn
Mawr students have. availed them-
selves of this opportunity, and un-
doubtedly a large proportion of
these will go to Baltimore this week
to attend the celebration.
Graduates of Johns Hopkins,
among whom are numbered: fifty-
four presidents of colleges and uni-
' versities, will not, however, be the
only participants in the anniversary.
Like the influence of the University
itself, this celebration will be world-
wide in scope. Eminent. scholars
and scientists from: all. over the
world will gather as a tribute of
- their respect.
' It is rather curious that a Univer-
sity whose Medical School has ad-
mitted women students since its
opening in 1893, should have been
founded by a bachelor, but such is
the case with Johns Hopkins. His
life is told in some detail in the Spe-
cial Feature Section of last Sun-
day’s New York Times. “Instead
of matrimony, credit was the aim
of his life.” His career throughout
is one of steady progress.
Born in 1795 of English Quaker
stock on a farm a few miles south
of Annapolis, Johns Hopkins began
his career as an employee in his
uncle’s wholesale grocery business.
After rising to a position of great
responsibility—as is shown by the
fact that his uncle left him in charge
when the British were coming up
the Chesapeake in the war of 1812—
Johns Hopkins with his uncle’s
backing established his own busi-
ness when only 24 years of age. In
1847, having made as great a suc-
cess as was then possible in whole-
sale grocery, he entered the field of,
private banking. He lent money to
individuals possessing ability as well
as to concerns. In 1873 he was the
means of warding off a panic from
Baltimore which almost ruined New
York and Philadelphia.
The story of the founding of
Johns Hopkins University rivals
the life of its founder in strange-
ness. Johns Hopkins and George
Peabody met at a dinner in the
house of Robert Garrett shortlly
after the close of the Civil War.
During the course of the evening’s
sires pe Se Hopkins was
e similarity "between
his. own r and that of George
Peabody. Both had started 8b
small beginnings ; both had been em-
by an uncle; both had later
setup in business by that
uncle; both had: later entered pri-
i ating and both had |
centinue: the first.two yéars of the
"| college and'merge the last two with
the graduate department: without
transgressing the founder’ s wishes
either in letter or spirit.
DING-DONG!
In the cold gray hour before eight
o’clock we have often wondered, as
we gathered the covers about our
shivering shoulders, and tried vainly |’
to go to sleep again, “what is the
tradition of the.7 A. M. bell?”
Did the Reverend Dr. Taylor,
¢
rd
- when he founded ,the college, in-|
stitute the bell to summon the first
ardent Quakers to early morning
prayer meeting? -Or did-the night
watchmdn, as he hung on the bell-
rope to sound. the alarm for the
Denbigh fire, swear like Constan-
‘tine before the battle, that if the
flames were quenched, he would
have a peal of bells rung, every
morning at seven in ‘gratitude to the
gods.
ie Surely“it is not to wake those who
suffer from 8 o'clock classes; for
they. merely roll over, cursing it,
and get up 20 minutes later. Fur-
thermore, sad experiences tells us
that they all have alarm’ clocks any-
way, shrill, piercing ones, which fol-
low on the heels of the great tocsin,
like vultures on the trail of a
wounded steer. ‘As for those of us
who have no‘8 o’clocks, we might
be able to ignore. the screams of the
vultures, if only we were spared the

ALL AT SEA
An interesting experiment in edu-
cation. is being undertaken this year
—the good ship Ryndam is sailing
around the world on “University
Trayel Association,” originally
sponsored by New York University
has chartered the Ryndam, provided
a faculty of 4o, and enlisted 450
boys and 57 girl students as stu-
dentg. Credit for work done on
board is being given by the major-
ity of colleges and universities
throughout the country.
with the countries to be visited, in
a most interesting manner. For
example, art appreciation courses
will consider first the art of the Far
East which the ship will visit first.
Geography, history, politics are
arranged in the same way. There
is an unequalled opportunity for
astronomy, for in the course of its
eight months journey the ship will
see almost the entire heavens. A
course in navigation will benefit
from the opportunity for pre
work on the bridge.
The members of the Faculty have
come’ from institutions from all
over the country; nearly every great
college has contributed someone, An
ex-college president heads the staff ;
an a is in charge of the
journalistic work; a dean of an
Eastern college is in charge of the
students.
These students are partly under-
graduates, partly graduates and old-
er people, partly sub-freshmen.
Contacts will be made with foreign
students through the medium of
athletics. In some cases the foreign
students will act as hosts, thus giv-
ing their guests chances ordinary
tourists cannot have.
The problems of this university
are many. They must work out a sys-
tem of self-government to fit the
conditions aboard ship and om the
shore trips. Sufficient exercise must
be had, and while classes in gym are
required, some of the boys are meet-
ing this difficulty by stoking for
twenty minutes a day. —
Christmas in Rangoon, Easter at
Gothenburg—we will watch the pro-
gress of this experiment eagerly and
in the meantime hope that is suc-
ceeds. :

your Title Contest was won by an
anonymous contributor.
Fam that person and although it
grieves me that your lack of perception
has caused you to award my (I trust
you won't think me vain) superlative
title only second place, the prize is so
exactly what I have always wanted that
I am subduing my pride and hastening
to claim it.
_ It has always been my ambition to be-
queath some worthy gift to my glorious
Alma Mater, something different from
the usual trivial endowments of money,
or. buildings, or ash trays, and so that is
what I am going to do with your gener-
ous prize.

The name of Helen Traubel is a new

American singers have risen to recogni-

and talented young St. Louis girl.
‘Miss Traubel made her debut with the
St. Louis Symphony Orchestra under Ru-
dolph Ganz, with such gratifying results
that she was chosen to be soloist on tour
with the orchestra. When Mr. Ganz ap-
peared as guest conductor of the stadium
concerts in New York in the summer of|
| 1925, he invited her to be the soloist in a
Wagner program. She scored the greatest
success ever earned by a stadium soloist.
The result was an engagement for the
following summer, and after again sing-
ing before the vast outdoor audience of

warded with the thunderous applause of

College life in the days of Seinen!
Johnson are “sketched for us and com-,
mented on in this editorial «from the
New York Times:
Easy College Days. .
Our “heagt goes.out to” the mob of
un, ef§raduates whose athletic and social
pursuits afe too often interfered with
by the pragmatical pedants, of the fac-
ulty. An article in The Cornhill Maga-
zine on “Samuel, Johnson, Undergrad- |
_ mate,” may_ be recommended to students
whose avocations leave them time for
‘any reading except’ the “tabloids.” There
is nothing rew about Samuel, though

by Garlyle’s invention of “the poor setvi-
tot?’ still regard him as a moping pauper
in his Oxonian period. The bills show
--that. he lined his insides. with plenty to
‘the entire year, W
eat and drink, As to the old shoes inci-
dent, it is natural to believe that Samuel
“preferred the comfort ‘of his old pair,
and..disliked _ the imputation. that they
looked shabby.”
Or he may have posed. Surely he
was |‘ ‘showing off” to Hannah More
when he told her, more than a half cen-
tury later, piloting. her about Pembroke :
“There we played cricket.” “ OFeome! did
the blind calendars play’ polo ?, It is. not |,
Johnson, but the. good old- collegiate
“soft. snap” that. invites studious youth.
Johnson went to a few lectures, when
he felt like it, but was never bothered
by examinations. There were none at
Oxford until 1802, no classes to go to
till f807. True, there was much face-
tiousness among the high-colored dons.
There was a ~purlesque examination. —In
1770 John Scott, of University College—
later the quintessential Tory, Lord Eldon
—got his. degree after this searching
test :
I was examined in Hebrew and His-
tory. “What is the Hebrew for a place
of a skull?” “I replied “Golgotha.” \Who
founded University College?” I stated
that King Alfred founded it. “Very well,
sir,” said the’ examiner, “you are com~
petent for your degree.” .
Gentlemen commoners danced, gave
balls, went to foot races, horse races,
cock fights, took boat, including music
aiid wine, to some place on. the river.
This outing was curiously called “A
scheme.” There were prize-fights when
the curmudgeonly Vice Chancellor didn’t
stop them. Johnson, as~ we know, was
a connoisseur of boxing. The cheer ful
eighteenth century devotion of even the |
clergy to drink is familiar. A traveler |
in England nearly seventy years after
Johnson’s residence at Oxford encount-
ered a clerical fellow named Maud.,
When they reached Oxford at midnight, ,
Maud took him into the Mitre, where, to!
his astonishment he found “a great num-
mer of clergymen, all with ‘their gowns
~-and-bands-on, sitting around a large table,
each with his pot of beer.” The futile
inanities of their conversation could
hardly be equaled in a party of touts and
~ stable boys on their way to a race meet-
ing.
Late in the morning, “the crapulent
crew dispersed.” Discharging a great
oath, the Rev. Mr. Maud remembered
and said that te “must read prayers this
morning at All Souls.” Our young
friends must learn to be philosophical
and reconcile themselves to the intrusive
innovations which time brings. Clergy-
men of the Church of England no
longer sit birling at the beer. Inquisi-
tors. of devilish ingenuity lie awake
nights devising intolerable examination
papers. One has to work, but there are
alleviations. The half “loaf” principle
nay still _be applied. :
