DR. HART IN IN (CHAPEL

“What power has religion to solve the









/ problems of life?” asked Dr. Bart in

chapel on Sunday evening,

“There are four problems which are
typical of thosé which present themselves:

first is the case of the college student

Secondly, there is the case of the. girl
who finds her ‘relations with men very
perplexing. When actually in their com-
pany she feels ill at ease and embar-
rassed; she finds nothing to say and is
unhappy- because she feels that she was

Gettysburg Conference
(Specially contributed by E. Baxter, ”30.)}
Last Friday six of us started out for
the conférence which was held at Gettys-
burg, under the auspices of the Y. M. &
Y. W. C. A. aiid the Student Volunteers,
for the colleges in this region.. This year
it was especially interesting as it followed
up the Detroit conference held at Christ-
thas. The subject was “The challenges in-
volved in the spread of Christianity.” The

. conference -was-carried. on by. general-lec-

tures and group discussions of the vari-
ous aspects of the.question. The dis-
cussions fell into two main groups—the
appreciation of other religions and. cul-:

_ tures, and the translation ‘of international

“mindedness into individual living. Each
of these discussions proved very interest-
‘ing because of the able leaders and be-
cause Of the variety .of attitudes ex-
pressed.

Some of the subjects discussed were:
.“Are the basic principles of -all religions

alike?” “What is unique about Chris-
tianity?” “Should we take the good of
other religions and add it to Chris-
tianity ?” “Do we want missionaries from
other races and religions?” The con-
élusion reached. was-that the findgt things
of other religions can be found in Chris-
tianity as taught by Christ, if not in
present-day doctrines, and that, far from
contradicting other religions, Christianity
tather fulfills them.

The other main theme félated.4prin-
cipally to the value of western civiliza-
tion, and especially of American ideals,
and the extent to which we can make our
civilization as a whole, and our own ac-
tions: conform to the_ highest ideals.
Racial antipathy, narrow nationalism, in-
dustrial autocracy, undemocratic govern-
-ment and imperial foreign policy were
discussed. While everyone agreed on the
need of changing these things, many
‘people ‘seemed to fear the influence of
foreign ideas. The chief suggestions
yere to think about these matters more,
to read, and to. get the point of view of

Passing Modes:

Fickle Collegian.

The hour-glass has been turned over;
and a new year is already slipping slowly
away. It is now 1928 (and doesn’t it
sound /funny: and- ultra-modern?) ; 1927
has passed from our horizon forever, but
it has left us several. heritages with
which to start the new year. Snooping
about the campus we find that the first
of. January does not strip the undergrad-
uates bare of all follies and foibles, hates
and passions. No,- the college seems still
to be in its late 1927 ‘state. These modés
and manners are of the most temporary
and ephemeral sort. They may change
overnight, they may stay in vogue for
months, but while they last their power is
supreme. It is too early yet to divine
the coming fashions. Alf we cap) do is
to note the heritages with which/we start
the new year, the passing modes of 1927:

Berets have passed from popularity and
baifttanas or frankly bare heads have
taken their place. A few of these brightly |
colored round caps with their invigorat-

‘ing top-knots still survive but the over-

whelming vogue of last year is in absen-
tia. (This raises the question as to what
has become of. the discarded berets. They
do not seem to have. the practical.
uses of ex-German helmets. They
could be used as hot-water bottle cover-
ings on a pinch, or perhaps as winter
wraps for transplanted ostrich, eggs.
Probably they have been given to the Sal-
vation Army and will soon appear on all
the poverty-stricken streetsweepers and
window-washers in the city. Personally
we think that butchers might wear them
in winter instead of their everlasting dirty
straw hats.)

under this movement. Cubist painting is
no new thing in India, and the manner

they write of the vast conceptions of
human and divine nature, but of the
petty problems of individuals. Literature
has become introspective and is not good.

Is: Social. Work Worthy?

Conference Will Decide
ae Phe Site € (Philadelptiia Conference
on Social Work will be held at the Ben-
jamin Franklin. Hotel, Ninth and Chest-
nut streets, on Thursday and Friday,
March eighth and ninth. The Conference
this year will be of particular interest
to Bryn Mawr, students in view of the
fact that the program for one afternoon,
the afternoon of the ninth, will be de-
voted to a. lecture and discussion ar-
ranged by a group of college undergrad-
uates for college students. ‘The speaker
will be Dr. Hornell Hart, of Bryn Mawr,
and his subject, “Can Social Work Create
a New “Social Order?” The lecture
itself begins at four o’clock, and will be
followed by an Open Forum led by. Ken-
neth L. M. Pray, Director of the Penn-
sylvania School ‘of Social and Health
Work. This hour of discussion will give
an opportunity fér students to question
those actively erigaged in sociak work
as to the larger significance of that work.
The college sttident can often hear lec-
tures on the details of social work ,in
particular fields, but it is very rare that
a group of sociologists and’ social work-
ers offer to discuss the probable effects
of social work on society as a whole,
both now, and in the future: #to give their
opinions, for example, on the degree to
which ‘social work actually prevents the
multiplication of the unfit; whether there
is any longer any practical distinction
between the treatment of the “deserving”
and the “undeserving” poor, and if so,
what; what is, and what can be the atti-
tude of the college student toward social
work, etc.? The discussion will cover
a range of topics wide enough to inter-
est even those who are not “sociology
students, and it is hoped that many whose
interests are not strictly sociological will
attend and enter into the discussion. Ab-
stracts of Dr. Hart's speech may be
obtained from V. Fain, ’29, Pembroke
West, so that those who wish may con-
sider the subject in advance.

At 6.30. there will be,a buffet supper
at. which Dr. Marion Kenworthy,
Psychiatrist, of the oye of Child
Guidance, will speak. .

Caste System Has Endured.

“T should rather talk about India _§it-
self,” said Mr. Mukerji. “I often hear
expressions of wonder that. the caste

son is that the Brahmins, the teachers
and _ highest caste of India, are the poor-

Mediaeval Women
Tout to Lecture on Important
Aspect of His Specialty. .

Mediaeval Women. will. be the subject
of the lecture which Dr. Thomas Fred-
erick Tout, professor of history at Man-
chester University in England, will de-
liver here this:Saturday evening, March
10.

Professor Tout probably knows more
about early English. History than any
man in England at the present time.
His specialty -is the history. of govern-
mental institutions, to which field he has
made some important contributions,’ be-
sides. having developed at Manchiester the
best school of mediaeval institutions in
existence. -His“latest-and most importarte
book, which went to print just at the
time Professor Tout left England, is a
four-volume work on governmental in-
stitutions in medideval England, which
develops the idea of the control of gov-
ernment by the King, acting through the
wardrobe. He has also published a book
on .the past and present relations of
France and England, and many other.his-
torical subjects.

As a lecturer Prdtesvor Tout issknown
in this country especially through the
series of lectures which he delivered at
Cornell. His popularity rests not only
on his scholarship but also on his power
of witty and picturesque expression. His
appearance here will worthily continue
the series of remarkably interesting lec-
tures Which the college has enjoyed in the
last few: weeks.

Group Being Formed

*Mrs; Elbert F. Baldwin offers unusual
opportunities to those wishing to spend
the summer in Geneva. For the past
four years she has organized a represen-

many charms of. the, system is that the
housing and chaperoning problems are
cared for automatically by Mrs. Bald-
win.

the University of Geneva, members of

a series of lectures, followed by general
discussion, especially arranged by Mrs.
Baldwin... The speakers ‘include. such
personages as Dame Crowdy and Mr,
Howard Huston. and the subjects deal
with various aspects of political, eco-
nomic, historical and international ques-
tions. . That Mrs. Baldwin is eminently
qualified for the organization of such a
group is shown by her long residence
abroad and her years of direct~contact
with the actual work of the League. The.
program inclutles an optional week in
Paris and as many excursions in the
vicinity of Geneva as the individual may
desire. . Mrs. Baldwin will also make all

annual international conference of the
C. I. E. The sailing is scheduled for
June twenty-third in third class on the
Majestic, returning on September fifth_
on the same-boat. All-of this (including
laundry, possible excursions, etc.) is
offered for six hundred dollars. There
are two places still vacant and Mrs. Bald-
win is most anxious that Bryn Mawr
be represented, for the. probable benefit
both to her group and to the college...

At first thought the idea of “required

- Doing away with*the chapel altogether
has been objected to on the ground that a

successful, partly because it would take a

‘service.”

This inertia is for most people the chief
obstacle in’ thé. way of attendance. Some
-mild compulsion, such as “chapel required
twice (or even once).a month” seems
neded to overcome it. Once assembled,
the audience. will cease to fret at being,
forced, if the speakers offer anything of
interest’ or value—and most of them do.
Even after chapel is moved to Goodhart,
the novelty of. the organ will soon wear
off; it will seem a long walk, and inertia
will inevitably set in. If chapel is to be
continued, we suggest that this idea be
considered—we already have required ex-
ercise, and required hygiene, why-not re-
quired religion ?

May I, however, take exception to the
statement “many of .the best medical

As a matter of fact there are seventy-

today, and of these sixty-four (sixty-

‘CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
“I belonged’to the Brahmin caste, and

et my education was ‘typical and peculiar.

In India the education of children: is
always in the hands of the mother; ours
was perfectly illiterate—all Indian wom-
en’ are, and she considered any woman

- that could count above 100 to be no lady.

However, she knew over 2000. stanzas of:
the dramas, the epics, the sacred writings

_.of India, and’ all of these-1 learnt before

I was nine. It was also her business to
teach me meditation, .‘ Meditation has be-
come a fetish in India, and-the-mot’—

observe its rules. The child is taught
how to relax and concentrate on sounds ;
he easily ‘learns to think of- infinite cour-
age as allied to infinte repose, and thus
he overcomes. his greatest impediment,
fear, Even a group of’ typical. American
children can be taught courage and
silence through meditation.
Studied to Be Christian.

“My father was.highly educated and an
intellectual; he was interested in other
peoples,. and particularly the Christians.

* He had: once seen a Christian who was a}

saint;' he said, and ‘he wanted his chil-
dren to be Christians. All the older ones
were exposed to Christianity.and escaped
it, so I, the youngest, was sent to study
it with some very grim intellectual people
from Scotland, who told ‘me that to be
saved I must first sin. I didn’t know
how to sin; but one of my friends told
me that if I thought about sin enough I
He and I read a
lot of books together to become sinful,
and one day when we had finished read-
ing a book’ and were meditating on it,
the book fell, broke, and a vision, robed
in light, rose’ out of it. Startled by the
sight, I*went-at-once--to—my-.mother—in

the family chapel, and told her. that I

must be a Christian—I had found the
true God—I could not continue to medi-
tate on the old gods. But my mother
answered that there .is only one God, that
if you earnestly seek Hiin, you. can find
Hm any way; there is only one Truth
and when you have found~ it’ you don’t
need religion.

“Rach caste-in India has ifs own trade,
but an individual need not choose his
caste trade; he can-take any other, ex-
cept that of the priests which is, the
monopoly. of the Brahmins. When I was
eighteen, I had to make.my shatce and
decided: to hé a priest. ~My ‘initiation be-

gan with fasting—you fast for anything

in India. Then I bathed in the Ganges,
and. my mother took me to the burning
of the dead... After my initiation, I was
sent out with a begging bowl from house
to house—even to my own house, where
I got a bowl of .riceand gave it to a
beggar boy! |-
Search for Holy, Man.

“All over India I traveled looking for-a
Holy Man. The Holy Men of India are
not as the Westerner thinks of them,
sitting at every marked corner; there are
perhaps eleven of them in the whole
country, and Gandhi is the only one
known to the’ world, I found my Holy
Man eventually, afd stayed a while in
a monastery with him. In that monas-
tery, everyone. meditated at. 3 0’clock. in
the. morning; because, the Holy One
said, at that time most “men are asleep,
their thoughts away from them, and the
prayers of others can most easily purify
their thoughts. I found this to be a
custom in many different sects and coun-
tries.

“My Holy Man had a great influence
«over wild animals, who would never harm
him or his followers. Westerners do not
understand the Indian attitude towards
animals nor their love and respect ‘for
them. *A recent book talks of cruelty to
animals, but I could not find any in
Kipling. If there had been such a thing,
Kipling would have known it, for the
really understands the Indian mind,
Hindus think that every animal has a
soul, and may be a maf in the next in-
carnation; so you must be kind to an

animal and share your food with It.

When. President. Glenn..Frank, of the
University of Wiscofisin, refused to al-
low Mrs. Bertrand Russell to speak at

hard-riding school of American column-‘
ists. Not realizing that what was once]
merely nasty has now. become the “illus-
‘trative anecdote,” and that a’ polite in-
terest in abnormality is expected in all
those who have learned to take their
Lindsey straight, President Frank barred
Mrs, Russell. “But since a touch of na-
ture now: makes the whole world read,
where it once merely left the room, the
conviction has grown ‘that it was unfair
not to give Mrs. Russell her chance to
tellall. , : Ui

President Frank, who fad probably
feared something like this, defended him-
self with a few remarks about the futility
of taking a.bath in a glass tyb before the
living room window. This was purely
metaphorical; the intentions of Mrs, Rus-
sell. had been confined to a talk. on
“Should Women Be-Proiected >” It has
been suggested that the figure of Presi-
dent Frank dates from the day when he
was an.assistant to Billy Sunday, an im-
phitation that does not diminish its illum-
inating quality.

Mrs. Bertrand Russell is young and
pretty, and “The Right to Be Happy”
(Harper) proved her circumspect. Neither
she nor her husband could taint thé}
morals of the undergraduate for, if any-
one believes the smart columnist, there is
no--morality,.thereis only good taste —

Defense.of Co-education, —

It has become polite to be anti-co-edu-
cation, therefore I hasten to its defense.
The -overwhelming advantages of the
system surely outweigh anything that can
be said against it. In the first place, co-
education presents unparalleled. opportu-
nities for female morons to find htisbands
who are their intellectual equals; in the
second, it offers the men students in-
numerable opportunities to discuss which
of the co-eds pet best, and which of
them are “useless” at parties. Conver-

elevating and should be encouraged.
Consider the fact that at the “Prom”

Mater,” only sixteen and two-thirds per
cent. of the girls.are co-eds. This, cer-
tainly, is another significant fact in favor
of co-education. What would the uni-
prsity be without women? Merely a

Reading for Honors at Swarthmore,
by Robert C. Brooks. Oxford Uni-
versity Press. ea

In Reading for Honors at Swarthmore
Dr. Brooks gives a “Record of the first
five years” of the experiment there which
all educators have followed with interest.
Dr. Brooks is a professor at Swarthmore
‘in the division of Political Science of the
Honors work. .

Dr. Brooks describes and analyzes

the whole system in its actual mechanics,

and its. effect onethe students, both those
within and, without the. special greup
undertaking this work. -It was feared,
he says, by many ‘that this’ would lead to

: a of the ordinary undergraduate,

while-instead-it-has resulted in “a -quick-
ening of the intellectual ‘life of the whole
studefit body, and, it may be said, of the
intellectual lite “of the faculty as well.”

compared. ‘There are frequent group
meetings with discussion, arid papers are
regd—instead of being merely submitted
to a tutor. Thén there are outside ex-
aminers which, he says, add the spur of

- ,dlenger to the work. :

He defends the use of oral examina-
tions as a preparation for later life.
Above ‘all he proves that Honors work is
not. undemocratic but “essentially a
_ gneans. of setting free and utilizing the
superior intellectual power of abler stu-
dents.” :
Dr. Brooks gives the history of . the
experiment: and tells how it is made pos-
sible by a gift of the General Education
Board. He discusses the probable cost
in other institutions.

The arguments for and against Honors
work are frankly given. Every effort
was imade to get the opinions of gradu-

French Major Plans

.° CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

' “The American’ students will ‘sail on
Jely 12, and go first to the’ University
of Nancy,’ where they will do intensive
work jin gthe French language.“ The
Academic year at Paris begins November
1 and ends July 1. .Ten courses are
offered thete, under the best French in-
structors in the world, and the student
may take besides several courses in
French literature, supplementary courses
inghistory, art and economics
Special. Help for Americans.

“For the benefit of the American ‘stu-
dent, special tutoring-groups-are added-to
the cotirses, which explain the lectures,
suggest reading, and correct papers, the
tutors being chosen from the same group
from which collegé teachers are thosen.
Also, every student has“a private lesson
a week with a specialist in the languaye.

“The French student is not examined
in every course, “but has general ex-
aminations covering large fields. For
Americans, the professors have agreed to
arrange special written examinations on
back to the: student’s. college, with @
tions. ’ . ’

“The committee has arranged with
French people in whose homes the stu-
dents will live—choosing if possible
homes with young people as these are
the . greatest. assistance in learnin® to
speak the an If you. decide to. go
you must agree to make French your
exclusive language for the whole year,
as in,this way only can the desired re-
sults be obtained.

“Week-end and vacation trips through
France are arranged for, but are opfional
The. total expenses are either’ $1450 or
$1670,-the difference being in the lodg-
ing. This includes laundry bills and all
extras, -and-—gives—the--student—a—-small
allowance, If thé money is.not all spent
at the end of the year, it. is refunded to
the student’s parents. There are a few
scholarships. available. There is no..bet-
ter thing than a real French student can
do, and we hope to send students who
can profit by the plan.” :

Disillusionment:a Problem.

Thirdly, there is the girl who comes to
college filled with_a-sense-ofthe—beauty
in life, and desirous of achieving great
things, She studies history, philosophy,
or politics, els’ the impossibility of ab-
solute ‘coehrill and her ambition begins
to laugh at her. She becomes a cynic,
and wonders if there ip any use in: strug-
gling through the rumpus of the world.
Here is a third problem.

And finally, there.is the problem of
the student who has come to sense the
need in the wortd for human endeavor.
She looks upon the uneven distribution
of wealth, the various other ugly sights,
and passionately desires some part in re-
arranging the world.. But down. in ‘her
heart she feels that she will never be
able to-do anything worth while; she
will be insignificant.

Religion has a unique power to solve
all of the problems magnificently and
completely. Not religion specifically, but
region -generically—an — abstract thing
which has ‘been shooting through all the
religions. of _ the -world. since primitive
man. e }

Meet the Universe. ~/

How can this religion be‘ used? The
first element for. success in. its use is a
willingness to adopt and act upon’a
working hypothesis. This -hypothesis is
to act.as if there were a working purpose
in the universe with, which we,may come
into creative relation. Here we may draw
a physical analogy; few will disallow; the
presence of electricity in the world, yet
who can actually demonstrate its reality ?
One way of finding out is to touch a live
wire; the result is a queer ‘thrill through
the. whole being. The same thrill re-
occurs when we wake up early on a
spring. morning; a curious sensation,bub-
bles over and escapes us. We ourselves
feel it definitely, but its essence is illusive
and ineffable. :

The only way to discover this. great
purpose in the world is to seek it-by open- |
minded and skeptical experiment. Those
who have tried it say it can be. found, if
your .own purposes are such that they
can be woven into the pattern of this
universal purpose. _

The first ‘step in solving these problems
is relaxation—relaxation from the strug-
gle over something which you have
found impossible to solve. The second

step is having your mind continually alert
to the guidance when it is offered: If

thesé steps are: followed’ conscientiously |_

and intefligently the ‘result will be a
growing sense of peace, and a confidence
that you may eventually come into direct
relation with the great uniyersal purpose.

taining a Jyric description of a Christ-
* mas party at Bryn Mawr; last fall ap-
peared quotations from a Getman .paper
whigh. likewise ‘attertipted to give its sub-
-gscribers the dope on this remarkable col-
lege. But it is not enough that the jittle

of ‘the young Teuton be filled with visions
of our charm. Our fame is still spread-
ing. \\We-recently.— receivedfrom—Dr;
Alice Hamilton, professor of the Har-
vard School’ of Public Health, who has
frequently spoken here in the past, a
copy of the Milanese Corriere Della Sera,
which contains an article extraordinarily
reminiscent of the German correspondent
on Bryn Mawr.\ It is by’Arnaldo Frac-
caroli, who seems\to have visited the col-
lege sometime last May. He was shown
over the premises hy a charming ‘and
smiling blonde, who left a deep impres-
sion on his susceptible\ Latin heart. He
holds up to the youthful Nictim of Fascist
restraint a.picture of perfect. liberty:
"The Améticans see no reason for hav-
‘ing in college less freedom than in the
family; and in the family there is’ abso-
‘lute liberty.”

The picture is most tering: “the
population. of this little city (meaning
the campus) -is' the most aimiable one
could imagine, They are all young ladies
from sixteen to twenty,. and they are
all attractive. The. unattractive, if there
‘are any, must live in retirement, for they
are not in sight.” The article goes on
to’ describe May scenes on the campus.
It sounds like a chorus from the Bac-+
chae. “Succinctly clothed in accordance
with the style and the mild season, legs
in- evidence; hair in the wind, -faces- of

Down from a balcony float the notes of
a piano, below in the-meadow two maid-
ens join arm in arm and begin to un-

So, we appear in. the eyes of. others.

Be. that as it may, it almost seems as if

“Dusty Angwer” and “Men Without

lege. For the.dast month or two they
have been read and discussed in every
place where two or three were gathered

affected the popularity of athletics. So

“Mother India” Sickaning,

When. asked to say. sarsething. about
Katherine Mayo’s book, Mr. Mukerji
said, “Have you read, it?” The inter-
viewer admitted that~she had not, but
said a great many people in college had.
“T’d like to see them,” he said; “and ask
them how many pages they have read.
It is a sickening book, you can’t get
through it—it ‘makes you sick. || have
read it twenty or thirty times, in order

Miss Mayo found the existing defects,
and
vented others,

in order to. make an ‘over-
whelming case against India. It “was very
clever, but not the work of a great
genius. On-the other hand, ‘Kipling,..of
whom Mr. Mukerji_has—a_ very high!
opinion, in. order to paint the greater |
glory of the ‘Anglo-Saxon race, gave also’!
the great Hindu characteristics. Miss
Mayo gives no credit for this greatness.
She says the race is dying, and the result
is that she shows the Anglo-Saxons ris-
ing “at the expense of a sick man.”

“We have more life than any living
nation,” said Mr. Mukerji, when asked if
India were really a sick man. “We will
live longer than any race existing today.”
The: teason for this is that the Hindus
have learned the secret of internal re-
pose. “A nation founded on repose has
infinite power.”
