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
bellow of the steer.

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. :

Dear Mrs. Lot:

While I am ‘ flattered by your awarding

still feel.a certain annoyance against
you. Why, did gou make no effort. to

prize? A Flex-a-tone, a Sweet Potato

my class number, I passed through col- |,
lege without ever being subjected to a
music department, and, consequently, |
am a dead mute. They sound to me like
nothing at. all.

Had you consulted my taste, I might
have spared you considerable expense..
I should have chosen something modest
and yet pleasing to all, such as a green
bandana, or another gross of toothpicks.

Can you not arrange to present your
original first prizé to some competent
official of the music department or the
Lantern Night Committee, and leave to
me the choice of a suitable emolument?

I am, dear madam,

Dear Madam:

I noticed in last week’s publicstion a
notice stating that the second prizé in
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.

queath some worthy gift to my glorious

what I am going to do with your gener-
ous prize.

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
the public, and the praise of the critics,
