There are many 7 misunderstandings
about the cut. system, and these should ‘be
cleared up at the beginning of the year.
First, students’ are allowed fifteen cuts
““When family circumstances
necessitate the absence of a student, ‘it
is not always possible that cuts be ex-
cused. Illness, death in the immediate

heing excused—while absences for legal
proceedings, etc., should be planned for

gencies.” “ All excuses are obtained from
the Dean.

A student taking excess cuts.up to and
including two and. two-thirds shall be
placed on Student Probation. That is,
the number of excess cuts up to and in-
cluding one shall be quadrupled and de-
ducted from the student's next semester’s
cuts. The number of, excess cuts from
one’ through two and two-thirds shall
‘be tripled and deducted. A student over-
cutting more than two and two-thirds iss
recomménded for Senate Probatien, and
is allowed no cuts for the’ next semester.
A student taking more than teventy-five
cuts. cancels the semester’s work.

Any student who over-cuts because
she-does not expect to return to college
the following year ‘will be asked to leave

attend classes. re

Students are advised'to keep a record
of their own -cuts, to be compared in

French Educator Gives
Folk Songs of Yesterday |





Am entertaining lecture-recital on Les

Chansons Populaires Francaises was”

given by M. Petit Dutaillis in the

Wy Music Room of Goodhart Hall on Fri- |

day e evening. M. Dutaillis is a ‘director |
of all the international work done by |
the French Department of Education, |
and just-now he is*really on a ‘titania:

in America from the Minister of Pub-



lic Instruction of France. However,
having been happily endowed with a
addition

those talents which make. an. educa-}

most excellent. voice in: to |
tional administrator, M. Dutaillis came |
to usin the much less august capacity
of an authority and a singer of old
French popular songs.

These songs, which charmed his au-
dience on_Friday evening, have arisen
very much as the few native songs of
which we can boast—from the history
and life of the people. -To illustrate
this point, M. Dutaillis sang two songs;
one very old indeed, of Gallic origin;
and another which was probably com- |



posed. sometime after the Hundred |
Year’ War and which cofttains an al-

lusion to Jeanne D’Are.

It-is exceedingly difficult to: know ex-
actly to what century these songs be-
long. But among those of ancient
origin “Chansons de Fetes’ must al-
ways be included. ‘These songs—one
of them witha pleasing lilting refrain,
“C’est le Joli Mois de Mai,” were’ sung
on .May..Day. by. the’ poorer folk to" ob-
tain money from the lords and ladies |
who lived in the great chateaux.

Songs Originate in Country. |

Indeed, very soon it was only the!
peasants in thé little villages who con-
tinued to compose music ~spontane-
ously. Such popular music was aban-
doned in the cities, although still re-
maining an important feature in the:
Provinces. In each of these, charac-
teristic songs were developed: In Bre-
tagne, sad songs and amusing rounds
for dancing; in Normandy, more vig-
orous funes of a moderately ribald
type. Everywhere in the country there
arose working songs which the peas-
ants used to sing “in the’ fields, often-
times—as George Sand mentions in
“La Mare au Diable’—to encourage |_,
the animals; in contrast to these I
the songs for soldiers and _ sailors,
marches or sad dirges; and_ finally, |
there were sentimental love songs or |
comic tunes of marital life such as the |
amusing “Good-wife and the Donkey” |
song with which M. Dutaillis remem
his audience.

“Today the French popular’ songs
| have become-very: much a thing of the
past,” concluded. M. Dutaillis, ‘The
great war, which was more tragic than
those which preceded it, failed to in-
spire many songs; the old ones are
fast disappearing and now serve only
to bé made into a collection or as ma-
terial for savants, learned men. ame lec-
turers.”

Miss Carey Announces
New Points of Interest



, Comparing herself and Miss Gardi-
ner to the Walrus and the Carpenter,
Miss Carey continued the metaphor. in
Chapel on October 3 by bewailing the
amount of sand encountered in- work
in the Dean’s office. In am attempt to
clear away. as much of the sand as
possible, she repeated and_ stressed
several important announcements made
elsewhere... Miss.~Carey’s--and»--Miss
Gardiner’s... office hours have _. been
changed and are pgsted on the bulle-
tin boards. Sophomores and Juniors
are to take any difficulties in their work
to Miss Gardiner, but Miss Carey
stands ready to assist them aswell as
her own Freshmen and Seniors.in.com-
plications of any other sort.

Some important changes have been
made in the Infirmary rules also. The
new office hours are from 9 to 1 .and
2°to 4 every day, Saturday from 9 to
12, and Sundays by appointment. A
new head nurse and night nurse have
been added to the staff, which allows
us to expect increased efficiency from
these new arrangements.

Students are asked to read the re-

mation slips, paying special attention
tothe italicized sentences. Those reg-
ulations which are most important fol-

NON-RESIDENCY

Fifteen’ non-resident Freshmen
enter college this year. An ample
opportunity to ex e the non-
residents in a body is at last given,
and we may now begin to realize
the relationship of the student who
lives away from the campus, td the
students. who live in the halls “and
are drawn closely together by in-
terests centered wholly upon. col-
lege. Perhaps now we can discover
just-how necessary are the contacts
with what may sometimes be eon-
sidered the more trivial side of col-
lege—the halls.

In a way,



the slight separation

those in another gives an inkling of |
the wide separation between. the
non-resident student and hall ac-
tivity. It is partly because of lazi- |.

NARROWING THE ATLANTIC
On October the: fourth, Ramsay
MacDonald, England’s Labor Prime



Minister, landed in the United
States. It is the first visit of

British. Prime Minister to_ our
shores, and it acquires increased
significance, when we remember
that “MacDonald was notorious dur-
ing the war for his anti-militaristic
point of view. This visit does ac-
tually seem t be made in the name
of international good-will, and Mr.
MacDonald’s claim of hoping

be able to do something to narrow
the Atlantic’’-is surely one of good
cheer for all those who place faith
in the Anglo-American friendship.

Book Review



_ The Galaxy
Susan Ertz.

Susan Ertz has scored. another, triumph
in her ‘new novel, The Ga ary. In this
work, the history of a life is sympa-

thetically recorded, and the picture of...

a character, at once. appreciative and.

4 creative, understanding and demanding”
comprehension, loving and needing ~~
love, the character of Laura the hero-
ine, is drawn ,with unerring clarity.
Laura is born in the sixties and we fol-

low her career through all the vicissi- -

tudes of Victorianism, the Franco-

2 yee

Prussian wat, England’s Imperial pol- ¢

icy, the Irish trouble and the Great
War. These stirring events ' ‘serve
rather-as a background against which
her life stands out with its early lone-
liness and misunderstanding, its ro-
matitic and ill-fated marriage, fts un-
happy later love and final satisfaction.
The real beatity of the book lies in the
Galsworthian simplicity and ease of the
style in depicting the beliefs, manners
and lives of several generations.. One
feels that Susan Ertz has a genuine
affection for her charming heroine, and
that’ their ideas and ideals have much
in common, Perhaps the most novel
feature of the story is the way in which
the authoress gives body to her theory
that separate moments of life are im-
mortal. Itvis quite startling to find a
repetition in italics of the first chapter
after the death of Laura in the last
chapter. Thus Laura goes on, and one
is tempted to help immortalize her
great moments by reading again the
story of her life. E. R. H.

Elizabeth Pillsbury at Berlin, Agnes

“I believe, in short, there is a wholly
defensible’ foundation for the verdict
of our sense and that the sentiment of
the conservative undergraduate or
graduate student can and should be
easily untwined from its old object and
curled around the new tree. The .ex-
periment of June is at any rate. the
commonplace of September. Upwards
of a hundred graduate students have

Many Applicants Disappointed This

Year. —

“The undergraduate students enter-
ing Bryn Mawr this year ,interest me
very much and -the, history of their
selection is more dramatic than usual.
It is as unhandy for a ‘college to en-
roll one small class every four years
as it would be for a coach to have out
of its four one small wheel. And, it
is readily calculable, the small class
tends to perpetuate itself. In ‘ordinary

cepting the offer of Mr. and Mrs,
Henry Hill Collins to let the eollege
place eleven students and a warden in
their housé (which has one valuable
by-product in that at least twelve
Americans will learn to spell Bettws-y- }
Coed) and finally by borrowing teni-
porarily three rooms in the faculty
houses on Roberts Road. Fifteen
students have. chosen to be non-
residents rather than to forego en-
trance to Bryn Mawe entirely.
“Thanks to these various small in-
creases the college opens with 102
Freshmen in residence and a class of
121, an unexpectedly suecessful break-
ing up of the small class cycle, al-
though even so something» not far un-
der a third of the qualified applicants
had to be refused. The problem of
selection of a Freshman class appears
this year in, I trust, an unusually spec-
tacular way, and it was attacked by a
remarkably conscientious and hard-
working committee.‘ This committee,
however, reports that the information
to be drawn from

examination aver-
ages, scholastic aptitude tests, school
records: and school statements fell

short if giving an-adequate picture of
the potential value gf the candidates.

The committee itself has made several
suggestions for another year, heads. of
schools may make others, and I should
like to ask the Curriculum Committee

members only two .or three ‘years out.

mand for ‘their work the flavor of real
scholarship.. They should take from us
the possibility of vacant rooms through
scholarship exclusion and they should
press us_hard in two years’ time to in-
crease the honors work in all the de-
partments. As I said .in speaking at
Commencement in June I believe the
next task before Bryn Mawr is to pro-
vide a curriculum which should he the
equivalent in length, breadth and
height of any curriculum of the past
but should be somewhat: more elastic
as it relates to the individual, and it is
surely _an_excelleitt time to begin the

combined thinking which must precede

such an experiment when 120 interest-
ing individuals have come to the cam-
pus. To co-operate genuinely in any
such change or indeed in any important
college matter it is necessary that the
students, alumnae—should act as it
were in the same plane. They should
use the same coinage. And this mutual
coinage. should | include not only cur-
riculum: jargon, ‘courge, ‘credit, “pre

Of articular interest to college people
is the fact that Manuscripts appeared on

by Willis H. Kinnear, at. Indianapolis,
Indiana. It is something entirely new.
in the field of magazine publications. The
form is -unique,and the purpose is very

published inthe interest of the college
writers and their professors. Manu-

appear others such as William’ Lyon

Tragedy is the keynote of, this novel;
tragedy on the small, personal: scale that

dustrial sordidity’ of Young’s frequent.
North Bromwhich jandscapes. It _ is,
rather, sorgow in a Neapolitan setting;
sorrow which is ever augmented in*a
swift development to its tragic climax.
The. narrowed life of Cristina, held pris-
oner in a* house which* she may never
leave; the provincial youthfulness of
Paolo, idealist in love; the sturdy loy-
alty of the gay. Viva, are all summarized
in a few swift, steady strokes, placed
only upon the last pages of the book.
The earlier portions are purely intro-
ductory, preparatory; they are perhaps
excusable, but they are, none the less,
too slow in motion, too systematically
laid upon the ‘background of the canvas,
to. give hint of the excellent coloring
which comes-only at the last. "

It is notable that this author can give
most powertully the feeling of isolation.
We ‘found it in Love Js Enough, and
again in My Brother Jonathan. In ‘this
last novel, he has achieved the same ef-
fect, without, I venture to say, manag-

‘By Way of Preface

The editors of.. this: paper will be
‘expected to set forth during the next
five months ‘in these colunins opiriions
-on.current topics of interest to the stu-
dent. body. They will also be expected
to have opinions that. will represent
the views of the undergraduates as a
whole; an expectation that is probably
optimistic, as there is surely not a
large number of s
versity with. opinions — “wort ’~repre-
senting—with opinions originating: in
the individual—opinions not. dictated
by ingrained prejudice, environment
and faculty.

erie Aas.




Let it be: understood, -however, that
we mean no libel on our fellow-stu-
dents, who, being such, are more
independent mentally than the repre-
sentative individual in this country.
Unfortunately, we of today are accus-
tomed to have our opinions handed to
us, such as they are, ready to use by
those whom‘we employ to think for us.
We. are advised for whom and for
what to vote; and why; we ‘are told

about heaven and its well-known op-'

posite when personal research in such
a vital matter would undoubtedly be
advisable; even at university the ten-
dency is=to rely upon prefared ideas
rather, than upon individual . effort.

There 7 is, ‘to be sure, more thinking
in universities: than among the laity,
fora university is, by tradition, a place
where one is taught: to think. . But,
as there is probably not more than one
great thinker born among a _ million
humans, we can be pardoned if we
assume that there are not more than
twenty-five original mentalities oper-
ating amongst us.

With this in rind it can be readily
seen that th® editors of a college paper
are going to have an uncomfortable

time. They are~ recruited from the:

public themselves and hence cannot be
expected to have startling ideas-five
times -a_week. And_ again, their job
will be made no easier by this apathy
which has resulted from living on pre-
pared brain foods—the job, as we have
seen, being partly to act as interpreters
of -student.opinions—which do. not
exist. ‘

As to certain other functions of the
college paper, opinion is divided. Some

feel that the journal should be forth-

right and fearless, finding’ wrong and
making right.’ Others feel that facts
are rather nasty things, and should be
shushed tactfully, just as the .rather
matter-of-fact relation between poppa
and Santa Claus’ is soft-pedalled until
the younger generation starts to put
this.and that together.

i So the editors must. also please
everybody; a task that requires a high

tact and polish, aid is, as a matter: of.

fact, impossible. . There is enly ‘one
equation between two opinions and it
is mediocrity; the. value of a journal
that pleases everybody is on a par
with that of a mail order catalogue.
The prospect, accordingly, becomes
still. sadder, There. are, to be- eure,
certain consdlations, This. world is a
vale of-tears anyway.. One can also
_reflect—that mediocrity. has never —been
a persistent failing of “The Varsity”;
one has only to review its history to
see this. And it is favorably known
abroad, if not always at-home. It has
a name. elsewhere that is a pride and
a credit to the students of the univer-
sity. It is organized upon a basis “that
is absolutely unique and must endure.
Its. editors have traditionally followed
what seemed to them the best inter-
ests of the student body, and they have
published a newspaper as nearly. as
their talents would permit. And in

the newspaper ideal lies the solution

to whatever melancholy besets the edi-
tors, for in running a newspaper for
the students, with a persistent reso-
lution to interpret and pursue their
interests, they will have nothing to fear
from a sense of duty ‘nor any con-
science; they will be working in the
interests of the univérsity, for a uni-
_versity..is-not-a-coHeetion of buildings
nor a staff of professors, but a body
of students.

* Such, then, has been: the attitude of
‘the editors of “The Varsity” in the
past. The present editors shall not

change this attitude The Toronto Var-}.

and correct her,- believing all sorts of
impossible’ tales about her. Students
in college merely laugh at ‘Mfiost of |}
these reports and know that they are
false: However, it is’ satisfactory to
note that a disinterested spectator re-
cently tried to vindicate us-in an article :
‘in the New York Tribune. After a care- saree ~~
ful.suryey of life in the seven leading
women's ‘colleges she came to’ fhe con-
clusion that the “college girl was no
worse than her less learned sisters:

Answering the charge that college girls
are a “bad-mannered, rowdy lot, thought-
less and selfish,” the author. pointed out
that she had not found them ‘so. - They
appeared to her~“courteous and charm-
ing, not in the stilted and formal manner
of earlier generations, but in a frank,
open man-to-man sort of way altogether
delightful.”~ |

Statistics on the smoking in one of
these colleges showed that fifty per cent.
oi the students smoked on entering col-
lege and sixty-five per cent. on leaving. |
The increase in fifteen per cent., as the
writer pointed out, might easily have oc-

“curred in, the same group of girls if they.
had never come to college. Reports from
the other colleges showed about the same
rating.

' “The public who picture the colleges as
they appear on the covers of popular «
magazines—as one perpetual cocktail
party—are sadly mistaken. Out of eight
thousand three hundred students in the
seven colleges visited there have been
less .than, twenty cases of drinking
brought up in the last three years. The

majority of those accused were ‘fresh-
@ men.” None. of the college girls inter- r Py 8
viewed had actually’ seen drinking at in a Cl a rette TS ° ;

were found to have a false beginning
