lege year for a large and important
fraction of the undergraduates.
' It was a well-filled week for the
upperclassmen who had come back.
_and a spasmodically active one for the

newcomers. Many varieties of occupa-

tioi-were—proffered-_(and_ required) :
One could pay an academic visit to the

Dean, ‘or an\ introductory one to the
President. The gym was open -to
visitors—on>the ‘principle of the spider
and_the fly—from_9-until_6-and_one’s
secrets about poundage and fallen
arches and number of-cigarettesper
day were discovered. Then there was
the lure of advanced standing examina-,
tions in French, and the English Place-
ment Test, to say nothing of the Self-
Government exam, to inveigle one to
the classrooms of Taylor, while in-
formative tours through the stacks and
seminaries drew one to the Library.
And all this was merely the executive
side of life:

The social side was equally replete
with opportunities for the interested
young woman with ambition and fore-

ght. ‘Wednesday night, ginger ale
and pretzels were issued in each hall,
and the functions gradually took on the
air of friendly get-togethers where gen-
ealogies, schools, and “my dear, do you
know’s” echoed from ceiling to floor.
On: Thursday night, the question of
Self-Government was explained; - on
Friday, that of the Athletic Associa-
tion, on Saturday, the Undergraduate
Association; and at Sunday Night
Chapel, the Bryn Mawr -League—with
the result that the Freshmen are now
completely conversant, naturally, with
each and every phase of our college
life. T)hére were also Commons Room
teas on_a number of days, and an
al fresco Supper on Wyndham’s porch
where a large number of potato chips
_bit the dust, and even more people
found joy and comfort in the fact that
someone else used to know that Janet

testified.

* Monday was the day of retrospection
and reckoning. Upper classmen were
beginning to-arrive surrounded with

- suitcases and old friends. Freshmen
were beginning to feel less and less
lords of the tuation And a few oc-
fowenarians were” stilt” pondering over

a question that one of the Freshmen
had asked after hearing an explanation
of the Self-Government rules: “Is it
true that Princeton men are the only
approved escorts for Bryn Mawr
girls?” What puzzles us is: who does

Self-Government
On Saturday evening, October 4, the
Freshman class was formally welcomed
at the Self-Government -reception, with
President Park, Dean Schenck of “the
Graduate School, Mrs. Chadwick-Collins,
and Lois Thurston, ’31, President of the
Self-Government Association, receiving.
Although entertainments of this sort

| are becoming less necessary—and—seem—

less-apt_to fulfill the purposes for which
they were originally intended, neverthe-

less this one had its bright spots. Among

these was a talk by. President Park ad-
dressed to the incoming class. She
stressed the point that-Freshmen_ enter-
ing Bryn Mawr would not find their
path-too--easy—but—leading toward _inde-
pendence and responsibility and the fuller
development of the individual. Some-
thing of the history and significance -of
the Graduate School was explained in an
address by Dean Schenck, with the final
announcement, accompanied by an invi-
tation, that the Graduate School would
be “at Home” in Radnor on Thursday
afternoons. : ®
Following these instructive and enter-
tainingly informal speeches the orchestra
struck up a lively tune for the dancers
and. an opportunity thereby for the ’34’s
to make acquaintances among the upper-
classmen. Gertrude Chisholm, ’33, and
Beulah Parker, 33, won the competition
dance, with K. Coleman, ’32, and her
partner victors in the “Lucky Number”
feature. These frivolities were inter-
rupted by a prolonged, but eventually
well worthwhile struggle for refresh-
ment, “Home, ‘Sweet Home” concluding
the evening and this annual entertain-
ment of long-standing importance in the
traditional activities of Bryn Mawr.

Two Kinds of Thinking
(Editorial in the New York Evening Post, Friday, October 3)

In her address at the.opening of Bryn Mawr College, President Park
spoke of two kinds of thinking. “Accurate thinking,” she said, “takes us
over an area explored, while courageous thinking takes us over old
boundaries into new areas.”

Colleges have traditionally been regarded as centers of accurate
thinking—places in which the thought of the past was. carefully pre-
served and from which any disturbing ideas were heremetically excluded.
This picture, only~too true of many colleges, leaves out those bold: €x-
perimenters in the laboratory and those equally bold enquirers in his-

tory, philosophy and other fields who have wrought peaceful revolu-
. tions—and have wrought them partly because their boldness was hot
impatient of accuracy.

Dr. Park’s words are a reminder of the fact that not all colleges
are afraid of courageous thinking, but an age which delights in sensa-

_ tional announcements and flamboyant declarations 1s in even greater need
of the other half of her preachment—that thinking jis none the worse for
‘being accurate. This is true in those “new areas” of which she speaks
as well as in the areas which have been explored. aa

A college which stimulates both these kinds of thinking performs
a service which is beyond price. _ :

The Fate of Aviation

The recent disaster of the R-101 which crashed near Beauvais,
France, early last Mofiday morning, a catastrophe costing the lives; of
some forty-eight passengers, jars the whole world to a startling realiza-
tion. This airship, adjudged the most advanced and powerful of its kind,
was forced down, apparently by terrific storms, suffered an explosion
and was consumed in flames. Not only were many men lost who were
important in public life and particularly in the advancement of aviation,
but aviation itself must suffer a terrific blow from the significance of
this calamity. As expressed in an editorial of the New York Times
~ for Monday: “. just at present, it must be confessed, there is
an impression of natural forces grim and ruthless, delighting in the frus-
tration’of the pride of man. Yet each new blow to it of this kind will
surely have the effect of making ‘him renew his efforts to rise superior
to every obstacle, invested with no matter what terror, that remains for

him to”overcome.” - 3
Within the past few years there has been much publicity and. gen-
eral discussion of the aviation “boom”: and many of the most gifted
minds of the pfesent are devoted to its improvement and advance. Yet
on the other hand, the actual number of planes and number of those even
who have ‘ever flown is extraordinarily few. Spectacular flights and

tragedy of the mishap itself, wield a deadly blow to aviation ? Or shall

* Theatrical Notes

At mention of those three delightful
revue-lights, Clifton Webb, Fred Allen,
and Libby Holman, their first triumph
comes instantly to mind. It is as inevi-
table to compare Three's a Crowd with
The First Little Show as to compare
its successor, but fartunately there is
almost nothing to deplore in the former
comparison and much t rejoice over.
The trio has started the season in a revue
which equals the sophisticated simplicity
of their last year’s production, and sur-
passes it in many of the scenic effects,
without stooping tothe obvious gaudi-
ness of the girl-shows. The lyrics un-
fortunately have little of the allure one is
led to hope for after revelling in Libby
Holman’s Can’t We Be Friends and the
passionate Moanin’ kow, but they are
sufficiently tuneful and easily: remem-
"satay ate

Fred Allen is as amusing as ever, but
there is almost too little of him. As
Rear Admiral Allen he is creditably
modest and unusually enlightening in~his
lectures, but ‘the character he might have
made as “Prof. Moron Le -Faye,” which
was cut out, for practical«and perhaps
moral reasons, has haunted us since with
its magnificent possibilities. The three
stars in a Corey Ford. piece, also cut,
must have been hilarious—but the con-
templation of what might ‘have been can-
not spoil the humor of what remains.
You may rest, assured, “There Ain't
Goin’ to Be No Beds.” i
Clifton Webb is- a brilliant comedian
as well as the most entrancing and in-
sinuating dancer we have ever seen. His

ness and glamor of her personality. She
handles all her songs in her own mourn-

The “Yaller” ‘number approaches ‘her’
particular spirit most closely, although

after it becomes more familiar.

The two most distinctive numbers of
the show owe a great deal of their origi-
nality to the scenery and lighting.
“Body and Soul,” graced by the sinuous,
sensuous movements of. Clifton Webb
and Tamara Geva, is heightened in its
weirdness by the artistic simplicity of
the light effects, while “Night After
Night,” an appalling grim affair in its
conception, takes on all the fascination
of a storm, hypnotizing the audience by
the rhythm and order behind its chaos.

and unusual dancegf*and Margaret Lee

to create the smart atmosphere which
made them famous originally. For us
they have brought to revues what The

is, in our opinion, the highest of recom-
mendations. :

The College season, we are told, has
begun; Cissy, bless her heart, is agaiir

‘in our midst, and with her has,returned

our waning belief in immortality; for
Cissy has died many times, but never
has Death proven the end. Imagine
our embarrassment, when, having tear-
fully kissed her farewell last spring, we
found her this fall, seated on a steamer
trunk, and all set for a return engage-
ment to her dear Alma Mater, but
hopelessly lost in the mazes of the
Broad Street Station. Deep in our
heart, however, we. were glad to have
our erstwhile friend and playmate with
us again, and it was with.a catch in
our voice that we asked her the way
to the Paoli: Local. Five hours, only
three of which were spent in finding
said Local, pass. Then once more
we saw Cissy. Clasping towel, soap,
sponge, etc., with such ease that it
made us envious, she emerged from
one of the.showers in Pem. Cissy is.
never behind in investigating the new.
What with a bathing cap, tied under
her chin, and numerous red bathing
slippers she was a real picture of a
warm st#mmer's day, and we thought
with a pang of the old swimming hole.

“Welly how is it?” we asked anx-
iously. Cissy wrinkled her eyebrows
in the old familiar way, which warmed
the cockles, of our heart.

“Oh, they’re just splendid,” she said-
“But I-can’t help thinking of Saturday
night. I think I’ll date my tub early.”

The last encounter of the week with
Cissy was at Freshman Party. She
wore her black lace, which was even
more skintight than ever, as Cissy, sad
to say, has put on weight. She has
also bobbed her hair and wears_it
straight off her brow, which is slightly
low, we fear. We wanted to dance
with her, bat she stuck fast to the line .
of duty and the Freshmen. "

|” “Aren’t they cute?” she whispered, -

‘as she passed one off on us when we
came too near. In the rush for food
our little friend was very nearly anni-
hilated; someone (by mistake, we
hope) pushed her’ into the punch bowl.
The last we saw of her she was gurg-
ling feebly and stretching out her armis
for help. But Cissy is not fated to die
again at this time; if we are not mis-

taken, she will rise once more (from

the punch bowl). Many are the wavs

of a Centipede.

The teams, as they lined up, were
composed of last year’s Varsity squad,
ably assisted by the best of the class
Unfortunately Totten, Crane,
Woodward and Thomas were not pres-
ent to give the first team a Varsity

ast year’s team on the field: Allen,
a grad. or a transfer, playing out in
right wing, made the rest of the fore-
ward line look alittle slow. She ought
to fit in well at*that position and per-
haps will be able to pull up the whole
foreward line. Her speed was very
good for so early in the season and her
passing, ‘on the whole, was pretty ac-
curate. Her best shot seems to be a
back pass to inner or center when near
the goal line. - Sanborn, on the other
wing, looked quite good, but she shows
the effect of one year of inactivity.
Unfortunately she was: not given the
ball often.enough to get a real estimate
of her ability. The inners were Moore
anf Longacre. The latter seems rather
grasping, moving into the center too
often‘ for good playing. She is very
fast and, if taught to Keep her position,,
should be one of the best points on the
foreward line. Remington was tried
out at center forward for the first time.
Considering—the -number,;of different
positions which she played last year,
her performance was creditable. If
kept there she probably can be de-
veloped into. a good attacking center,
for* her shots are pretty hard. Ullom,
as usual, played a steady, sure game at
right half and she can be counted on.
,to give a consistently good perform-
“aces all season. Collier, at center half,
was good, but she seems to pass al-
ways to therright, thus keeping the left
side oyt of work. McCully, at full, was
rather slow, but she undoubtedly will
come forth with as good a game as
last year.’

There were two Freshmen on the
team, Rothermel and Jones. Rother-
mel seems to be a fairly good, fast full-
back who may be developed to fill the
place of Hirschberg. What she lacks

eral good stops, by which she showed
her ability to put her feet where she
wants them:-.-With: some good. hard
practice she ought.to' be able to over-

The best playing on the second team
was done by Bronson and BisKop.
Bronson looks as though she might
make a very abie inner and per-

haps will gain a first team position.
We do not want to.seem too cheer-
ful at the outset, but it does look as
though we ‘might have a presentable

Freshmen of Four

Colleges-Compared



Chairmen Report Varied Activi-
ties of Two Thousand
Entering Students.



STOMS ARE. DESCRIBED



This year 2000 Freshmen renee
Vassar, Smith, Wellesley, Mt. Holyoke
and Bryn Mawr. Each of these five
colleges has developed a special tech-

nique, consisting of a Freshman* Week

to help the Freshmen with their prob-
lems and the administration with theirs.

Mt. Holyoke emphasizes the former
phase, according to Frances Roots,
"32, the Chairman of Freshman Week,
although the Freshmen go through the
usual round of appointments, exam-
inations and tests. But “its main pur-
pose—from the first—was to: acquaint
the student with phases of college life
which will help to make her first year
a wiser and happier year than it might
have been: otherwise.’ In accordance
with this ideal, the 250-300 Freshmen
are welcomed in the first four days
with a talk on Mt. Holyoke, “its tradi-
tioris and its present,” and with assem-

blies with talks .on ©. “Community
Life,” “Religious Life,”- “Extra-cur-
ricular Activities,” and the “technique”

of college life. The S. A. girl of the
Mt. Holyoke Freshman is a “Big Sis-
ter.” One of the’ unique features of
Holyoke’s reception is*the custom of
putting flowers in the rooms of all the
Freshmen on the morning of registra-
tion day.

The Vassar Freshman week, accord-
ing to Betty Chittenden, is. chiefly a
four- day registration process, with
serenades of upper classmen and Fresh-
men mixed in. One of the important
events is the signing of the member-
ship book of the Students’. Association
by the Freshmen after the first meeting
of the Association. The Freshmen this
year number 342,

Smith deals with its large group of
653\ Freshmen by a representative sys-
tem,. whereby only selected Freshmen
arrive at college four or five days early
to learn,the ropes so that “they can
act as \missionaries to the other Fresh-
tien in the dormitories.” The usual
round of gaieties begins with the ar-
tival of the entire class; and the out-
standing event is the “Frolic” on the
athletic field under the Smith College
Association for Social Work, “which
every Freshman attends, and to which

all the upper classmen go. The girls

week,”

letter “by Martha Coman, publicity di-
rector of Smith College.

Wellesley is alone in having a Fresh-
man week of twenty years’ standing,

and it is interesting to note that “Well-
esley Freshman week came into being
through the necessity of more time for
physical examinations,” according to
Florence Hudson, Chairman of the So-
cial Committee of Christian Associa-
tion. .The problem of the Village
Houses makes Wellesley Freshman
week unique, the Village Juniors being
in charge. of the newcomers. The
Freshmen spend their time “tramping
the mile from the Freshmen houses in
the village to campus. We fear that
these long gyalks and the resulting blis-
tered heels impress the Freshmen as
deeply as any of the scheduled events
of the week.”

A written quiz on the rules of the
“Grey Book” brings back memories of
our own Freshmen days. A _ vaude-
ville. under. the Christian Association
is attended by old students and their
little sisters. The occasion dates from
“time immemorial.” . An . interesting
feature of the week is a _ reception
given to the parents by President Pen-
dleton. The opening day of classes is
made unique by groups of Seniors (in
caps and gowns) who help the-Fresh-
men with their. schedules.. “All over
campus groups—squat eagerly inspect-
ing~ their--schedules....After 8:40 the
Freshman becomes _ indistinguishable
in the mass. of Wellesley girls.”

Dean Scenic Describes
Career of Paul Hazard

Dean Schenck of the Graduate School,
was the speaker in Chapel Tuesday, Oc-
tober 7. Z
Monsieur Paul, Hazard, .who_is_to—be-
the-Flexner—lecturer-at~-Bryn--Mawr- this
year, is recognized in France and
throughout Europe and the two Americas
as one of the authorities in the field: of
Comparative Literature. He.is what the
French call “un vrai maitre,’ a master
in his domain and an incomparable
teacher. He has won highest praise for
the brilliance Of his lectiires before ‘uni-
versity audiences in France, in Italy, in
Chile, in. Mexico. In the United States
he has been*a Lowell Lecturer and has
been Visiting Professor at Harvard,
Columbia, and Chicago. The interna-
tional character. of. his subject he thus
carries. out in his life, and it-is_interest-
ing to note that it was during the War,
which came when Monsieur Hazard was
thirty-six years old and interrupted his
first years of university teaching at
Lyons, that he formed with his older
colleague, Fernand Baldensperger, the
plan of establishing the now well-known
and highly distinguished Revue de Lit-
terature Comparee.

Incidentally, this young scholar proved
himself a great soldier, winning the
Croix de Guerre anda superb citation.
Returning to academic life after the War,
Monsieur Hazard has put a large part
of his scholarly production into this
Revue de Litterature Comparee, and it is
here that again and again his readers
have met perfect examples of the scien-
tific method which he applies to the prob-
lems of Comparative Literature. At a
time when “Comparative Literature was
still’ a little ‘in disrepute because there
was a tendency to leap too easily from
the recognition of similarities between
literatures to the attribution of influ-
ences, the’ severity and’ integrity of the
scientific work of Fernand Baldensperger
and Paul Hazard cannot be over-esti-
mated.

Within the limits of French literature,





Mensieur Hazard has also been a leader. |y

With Monsieur. Joseph Bedjer, the great
Mediaevalist -of, the College de France,
Monsieur Hazard edited, being himself |/
oné of the chief contributors, the Histoire
Illustree de la. Litterature Francaise,
which is known to: all serious students
of French Literature everywhere. Here,
for the first time, a history compiled by
specialists for the different periods, was
issued with a mass Of illustrations of the
highest order, reproducing contemporary
material that had never before been
available young students or the gen-
eral cultiv ted public. Here again the.
teaching genius of Monsieur Hazard was
at work.

The young professor of Lyons was
called to Pari is at the“ close of the War

di

students that he was. named in 1925, be-
fore he was fifty years old, Professor
at the College de France. This appoint-
ment is the highest gift of the French
Educational System. It means. freedom
from all the toils that a professor at-
tached to a university the world over. is
‘heir to. A professor at the College de
France gives two lectures a week during
a winter season of thirteen weeks, these
‘lectures to be the result of the inves-
tigations he happens to be carrying on,
and the rest of his time he has free for
his investigations. It is a scholar’s
dream.

We shall have at Bren Mawr_ very
nearly half of the time that a Paris win-
ter audience gets from Monsieur Hazard.
He will, «more or less, parallel here his
activities there. The College de France
professor gives one course intended for
a large group, and here this course will
be Monsieur” Hazard’s
Thursday evening lectures on La Poesie
Francaise entre 1815 et 1914. Each pro-
fessor of the College de France gives also
a course for a little group of highly -spe-
cialized French students, and here the
course will be the Graduate Seminary in
French, Romanticism to which he will
give five sessions on Pre-Romanticism.
He has also offered to have a “Joud ‘de
Reception” as he does in Paris, and on
Monday afternoons in his study at the
College Inn he will receive students. who
‘wish td consult, him-.as he writes “sur
tout sujet qui les interesserait.”

Some day soon a Hazard bibliography
must..be compiled and it--will- run. into
many pages, for his scholarly production
has been as steady as it has been signifi-
cant. His first book, La’ Revolution
Francaise et les Lettres Italiennes
(1910), showed his measure. This was
followed by a study of Leopardi. “His
Vie de Stendhal has put to shame the
slip-shod fantastic novel-biographies to

and yet it bows to no one of them in
vividness and charm.
studies of Chateaubriand and L’Abbe
Prevost have been marked with the high-
est originality and yet..deal with sub-
jects ‘that critics seemed to have worn
threadbare.

In 1927 the French Academy awarded
him--the—Grand~~ Prix Broquette-Gonin
“pour l'ensemble de ses oeuvres.” _

It. is another great scholar that the

~ “he . college,, regarded_the. entering

class of 1929 with pride and again in
1930 about a quarter of the whole

freshman class have been admitted
with a Credit average and only a few
with an averiie below Merit. The
Admissions Committee...of the year
which passed- the hottest of all days
of the hottest. of all summers at their
task report the greatly increased value
of the statements made by the heads
of schools in response to a new set of
questions formulated last year. These
statements, used along with the exami-
nation and school records and the
scholastic aptitude tests, the commit-
tee carefully considered in the case of
“ every student, and it sometimes disre-
garded a lower examination average
when the ability of the student was
“underwritten by one or more of the
other tests: The committee believes

that the college has this year again ac-,

cepted-an--excellent entering class.
Half of the students whose examina-
tion averages are highest appear also
‘among the youngest students present-
ing themselves—again a repetition of
thé record of last.year. Later on’ I
hall give my detail-loving mind an
portunity to report on the pedigree,
physical, mental, and moral—if I can
thus refer to the “denominational affil-
iation’”—of the freshman class. At
this moment I ‘should like at least to
say that the increased proportion of
girls prepared in public schools, which
I mentioned with satisfaction last year,
is noteworthy again in this year’s class.

In increasing the amount .of tuition|

“for undergraduate students this year
the Directors-of the college and_in_par-
ticular those directors who are also
alumnae felt great anxiety lest the col-
lege lose out of its student body and
even out of its lists of inquirers the
daughters of families. on whom the
‘cost of college training already bore
heavily, but who earlier and now had
given the college some of its best and
-most representative students. The di-
rectors have tried to send broadcast over
the country their eagerness to combine
with the family in such cases, and
carry off the daughter. As you know
Miss Julia Ward has been appointed
as director of scholarships with this
point in mind, and to carry it out shé is
promised so large a part of the travel-
ing fund that I doubt whether Mrs.
Manning and I can do more than get
to Philadelphia occasionally. We trust
that in the near future Miss Ward's
hands and those of the alumnae every-
where will he upheld by a larger
scholarship fand, so that such students
as the twenty-seven now sent to Bryn
Mawr on the. regional scholarships
may be multiplied. A few years ago

Alice Day Jackson of the class of 1902)

left to the college a large part of her
estate, the bequest to be available on
her husband’s death. Mr. Jackson has
enowgiven to the @ellege ten thousand
dollars, interest on funds which he
. generously affects to hold in trust for
Bryn Mawr, with the suggestion that
the amount be used as the beginning of
such a scholarship fund, to be known
as the Alice Day Jackson Memorial
Fund,’ He believes as we do that it is
worth while at any effort to bring to
Bryn Mawr the students who can
profit to the full from*what the college
can -give—the fine flower. of the
schools. .

It is only by thinking myself back
into the situation at the beginning of

last year that: I can~-realize how’ re-
cently a graduate hall has been estab-
lished. What I left last year as an
experiment I find as an established
institution, already with its infant tra-
ditions. Long discussed: and even
dreaded changes establish themselves in
college so quickly that one gen€ration
of. students. hardly knows the exasper-
ating problems of the last and I must
actually hurry to make my comment
while the present graduate school
knows what I am talking about. The
graduate students of Bryn Mawr have
from ‘the beginning been its pride’
Through them we have made some
contribution to scholarship in America
and they form our most direct connec-
tion with the great universities ~ in
America and. Europe. I believe that
the quality of the graduate school will
be more easily maintained or raised
now that it is to stand an integrated
‘whole. And the increased comfort and
quiet which Radnor offers is not only
pleasant but important. To repair
the long heavy -hours--of concentrated
study which research work demands
flowery beds of ease or their equivalent

and the arrangements to which Bryn
Mawr _ has come after many years of
another plan are parallel to those

which...Columbia..and.. Radcliffe
within a few years inaugurated on a
larger scale. One out of the many
college problems which took to itself
much time and many a discussion has
now been settled. And literally side
by side with this spiritual victory a
material victory has been won,. Never
again will the Radnor plumbing nor

As last year an unusual number of
the members of the faculty were away
on year or half year leave, so this au-

The new appointments for the year
and the list of this year’s traveless are
to be found in the calendar. There
should be added to them the name of
Dr. Valentine Mueller, Ausserordent-
lich Professor of the University of Ber-
lin, who comes in February as Asso-

fessor Mueller has carried over his in-
terest to include oriental archaeology
and has published on that subject.
And I am delighted that to Professor
Carpenter, who is soon to return, and”
to Professor Swindler, so able a col-
league ‘should be added who will give
instruction in the field in which every
one believes the great work of the next
fifty years in archaeology will be done.
In the first semester the Seminary ‘in
Ancient Architecture will be given by
Professor William B. Dinsmoor, Pro-
fessor of: Archaeology at Columbia,
and the undergraduate course by Mr.
Donald Egbert, Instructor in Art and
Archaeology at Princeton ‘University.

The college has received a gift from
Dr. George Woodward which makes. it
possible to offer this year a course of
one hour a week in public discussion.

by Mr. Dayton McKean, who’ con-

think, that is, you will find me normal.
' But a second person looking through
the same eyes finds familiar things
strange and new. I can pick up the
grayish Bryn Mawr calendar, for ex-
ample, and (with a mind like a freshly,
washed slate) see it for the first time.
That calendar can excite me as much
as a palaeolithic drawing of fighting
elephants. in. the heart. ofthe Nubian
Desert or the first edelweiss of a Swiss
summer up.'to its knees in water on a
high, wet hillside. When-I opened my
eyes the first morning on my sleeping
porch I saw on the quiet hill opposite
a little compact walled town with its
battlemented towers rising out of the
trees. But this power blesses the re-
turned traveler only briefly. My sec-
ond self. has survived freshman week,
but it can hardly live long into the col-
lege year and I should like to make
use of it while it lasts.

In contrast with the European the

think, a. singularly -indefinite picture
of his country. He feels a vague,
sometimes a chaotic background | for
his life and interests and. those of other
individuals. * Only occasionally some
phase of it becomes distinct, touched
by the spotlight of a contemporary
event. I don’t need to name the rea-
sons for this—our broad, continental
geography, our composite population,
our varied economic’ stresses and
strains... But for the American who is
just now in Europe there is no indis-
tinctness, and certainly no pleasant
haze. The newspapers, the man and
the wonian who are-deeply concerned
about international affairs and the man

should be inaccurate, thin, and un-

turned American, seeing with the fresh
eye of the traveler, though he can cor-
rect his critics in many details, is
constrained to find much of that com-
ment true. The dirty streets and the

a faculty of various ages, education,
interests, all turned into the same pro-
fession, a student body homogeneous
in sex, age, provenance: all walking
along the same road. We inherit a
tradition which is a valuable one for a
democracy, i. e., we recognize stand-
ards. Whether we like them or not,
we are-used to living with them; in-
deed we have all barked our shins on
them many.a time. And we have been
directed ‘toward accurate and courage-

not be afraid of recognition of our limi-

follows. There are various problems
coming before us as a community this
year, the important completion of the
new curriculum, the. further course of
that revival of learning—if I sly call
it so—which some -of us believe and
all of us hope is in its vigorous be-
ginnings, the position which Bryn
Mawr. is to take in relation to the
Negress, the relation of the life of the
student in college to her life outside.
Is it not a time when such questions
must be met with determination cer-
tainly but also with searchings of heart
and still more searchings of mind, with
an attitude, in short, which can be
transferred profitably when it, becomes
necessary to more important and wider
reaching questions which totich not our
small college only but all’ Anierica?

I have left until the end any men-
tion of the great loss which the college
has suffered because I feel sure .that
Dr..de Laguna himself would have pro-
testedagainst any darkening of this
day on his account. But many of you
know it and must have had it ‘in mind
all through this hour. |

Dr. Theodore de Laguna, professor
of philosophyat Bryn Mawr since 1907,
that--is--for--twenty-three- years——this
‘month, died suddenly at Hardwick,
Vermont, near his summer home in
Greensboro on Monday, the 22d of
September. This is not the time to

‘sum up Bryn Mawr’s debt. to him,

That I leave to a special occasion when
more competent speakers than I can
make an effort to appraise it and at
the same time his contribution to his
profession in America. But I cannot
forebear to. speak of his excellent

-scholarship,_his.devotion to his teach-

ing, his. loyalty to the college, the hon-
esty-and-charm- of-his-mind:—It is for
those of us who have known and
worked with him a heavy blow.

Dr. de Laguna’s courses, undergrad-
uate and: graduate, will all be offered
this year and an announcement of the
instructor will be made later. Profes-
sor Grace de Laguna will meet this
morning for a few moments the classes
that carry his name on the schedule.

Dr. Jones Shows Need _
For Religious Depth





_ The Sunday evening service of ‘the
Bryn Mawr League, on October 5, was
conducted by Dr. Rufus M. Jones, Pro-
fessor_of Philosophy in Haverford Col-
lege and President of the Board of Di-
rectors of Bryn Mawr College. _

Dr. Jones centered his talk onthe
He restoreth my soul, taken from
the twenty-third psalm, the saripteare les-
son of thé service.. .

If we were to lose our sense of con-
tact with the world—if our eyes saw
nothing, our ears heard nothing, and our
kinesthetic sense gave us no feeling of
resistance—the world would soon become
a myth or a-dream. So it is with our
conviction of the reality of God, when
that conviction rests wholly upon ancient
records. If God is to be the supreme
dynamic force in life, knowledge of Him
must rest on first-hand experience. The
highest moments of life are those occa-
sions when some overbrimming presence
floods in and restores our souls. It is
this experience which Robert Bridges in
his Testament of Beauty calls “an awak-
ening -to a fresh initiation into life.”

This overbrimming of life is more
common than many. neopie realize, and it



would be still more common if we ex-
pected it to happen to us, for expectancy
comes nearer to working. miracles than
any other state of mind. One of the most
appalling things about our present-day
religious services’ is the lack of expec-
tancy. in them.

It is very important for us also. to
understand ways of approach ‘to /
Times of quiet are -essential. “our
American life we are always rushing to
go somewhere. But our religious mo-
ments must have either depth or height.
The experience of spiritual deepening is
like that when your ship enters a lock,
the gates shut it in and the waters come
up under it.

There are deeps in us down below our
ideas that are, the mother-soil of our
thinking. If we-could learn to fertilize
this. sub-soil it would be the master-work
of-our life for above all else we need
an interior resource. There have been
and will always be persons conscious of
an enyironing light bringing refreshment
into their’ lives. ,We live in this presence
but, we often do not know it and it some-
times takes a shock’ to. make: us realize
that it ‘is there. Mr. Middleton Murray
tells of this realization in the words “All
of a sudden I knew that I belonged.”

Our scientific laboratories have beén

discovering an “invisible” world of; atoms

and energy behind the visible world. But
we cannot build a better civilization until
our religion learns to use the energy of
our environing light. “I do not see why
we should not all belong. I do not be-
lieve that it is out of the range of our
native possibilities.” :
A double search has always been going
on throughout the ,ages. - Men have
sought God, but their search has ‘been
hard because they have not realized that
God-also—has—been_trying to—find them:
“T fled Him, down the aight and dqwn
the days;

I fled * Him,
years;
I fled Him, down the labyrinthine-.ways
Of my own mind; aad in,the mist of
tears ‘
I_ hid from Him,
--Jaughter.
Up vistaed hopes I sped;
And shot precipitated
Adown_ Titantic —glooms
fears,
From those strong Feet that followed,
followed after.”
God needs us as much as we need
Him, and we cannot have a_ spiritual
world unless God and men are together.

Miss Tarbell Selects

Two among the “fifty foremost

Sie
by Ida M. Tarbell, are Bryn Mawr

women. Ex- Presiéent M. Carey

‘Thomas is cited as a “pioneer in higher
__ education for women”; and Dr. Susan

M. Kingsbury, as a “stimulating

*" teacher of soc‘al economy, “suggesting

ferothers, and foliowing herself, new
lines of investigation and experiment.”
Dr. Kingsbury is also, praised for her
“valuable contributions on the relation
of children and women to industry.”
The following excerpt is from the

_ Philadelphia Bulletin of September 13:

“Asked to name the fifty foremost
women in the United States, Ida M.
Tarbell, herself distinguished as a
writer, included five Philadelphians in
her list. They are Dr. M. Carey
Thomas and Dr. Susan M. Kingsbury,
both of Bryn Mawr College, from the
field of education; Mrs. Florence
Kelley,. general secretary of the Na-
tional Consumers’ League, from the
field of social service, and Cecelia
Beaux, portrait painter, and Violet

_ Oakley, .mural painter, from the field

of art.
“By Ida M. Tarbell.

“I have been asked to name the
fifty living women who in my judg-
ment have done the most for the wel-
fare'of the United States, whether in
business, in the arts, professions, so-
cjal service, or in other callings.,
| In selecting ,the list I have tised a
three-fold. measuring rod: Ability (1)
to initiate or create, (2) to lead or in-
spire, (3) to carry on. This ruling
automatically: cuts out women of dis-
tinguished achievement who have not
yet proved their continuing power.”

Night Watchman

Continued from Page One

of all his experiences as -nightwatch-

man, in the following interview. “At
twelveo'clock Monday night,” Mr.
Graham said, “I inspected Goodhart

and everything was all right. Then
I. made, my rounds, and after I had
my lunch I started out again, past the
Deanery and down to Goodhart.

‘When I got.there 1 thought there was

a mist or fog over the auditorium.
This seemed very strange to me for
over the other buildings jt was: quite
clear. As I saw no flame at the time
I. came to the conclusion that there
must be a fire smouldering in the -base-
ment. Then I ran down ‘to the base-
ment and when I got to the windows
I saw the flames. It was quite_a. big
fire—too much for any single person
to handle. Every minute counted, and
I did not wait. I ran up to Taylor
Hall, and told’ the two other watch-
men. One man rang Taylor bell, and
I called up the Bryn Mawr Fire Com-
pany. Then I called up the power
house to blow the siren. After that
I called up Mr. Foley and Mr. Doyle.
Then I ran back to Goodhart to open
the doors’ for the firemen. Lots of
people gathered right away, but you
could not see them without a flashlight
in their faces. You could not get near
the building for the smoke.

“My main object,” Mr. Graham con-
cluded simply, “was to get help. I did
not think of anything except to act as
quick .as_possible.”’

Mr. Graham is an Irishman . of
‘Scotch descent. He came qver here
in 1890. In 1908 he began to work on
the grounds of the Bryn | Mawr
campus. The position of nightwatch-
man was ‘given to him shortly after.
Mr. Graham is now the head night-
watchman of our campus, but he is
perhaps best known as the unofficial
campus astronomer.
