New Liberal Club Has
Been Started This Year

Although for some years all at-
tempts to start a liberal club here have
failed, there has at last been started
one. which the founders expect will
continue, and which has been run
very successfully for one ‘semester.
The organization is intended to be as
democratic as possible, and has so far
avoided all unnecessary rules and re-
strictions. There is no regular Presi-
dent. The Chair at each meeting is
taken by a member elected at the pre-
vious meeting. Becausé of May Day
no regular lectures which ‘are open fo
the entire college will be given this
year, although speakers may come
down for informal and private talks.

Attendance Must Be Regular.
Members are allowed not more than
two cuts.unless they have a reasonable
_excuse—this last includes. week-ends.
~ Meetings. are held every other week on
~ Sunday night after Chapel. Every one
ected to, do some, reading on the
"inex which has been assigned. It
is intended that the discussion shall be
concerned with current problems. So
_far the. subjects for discussion have
_ been Soviet Russia, Disarmament and
“Companionate. Marriages.

‘New Members Invited.

The membership is limited, but the
original members think they can in-
clude more than have so far been ad-
mitted. Those who wish to be admit-
ted are asked to come to two meetings
both. that they.can discover whether
the Liberal Club comes up to their ex-
pectations and also: that ‘they may
prove to themselves-and- the. members
present that they can take an intelli:
gent part in the discussion and can do
~adéquate work in preparation for it.

Those who wish to join the Liberal
Club are asked to ‘speak to one of the
methbers as soon as possible, The

present members are FE. Baxter, 230;

as to attendance for Graduates.



Goodness Is ‘Harmony :

Christ’s Lifé Was Perfect in the
« Way Sought By
: Socrates.





“We are just ‘beginning to realize
that all the standards of life are im-
plicit within each one of us,” said Dr.
Albert Cohoe on Sunday evening, Jan-
uary 15.

“In other words, just whqn we fin-'
ish breaking“all the rules thad'we can
find to break, we discover that these
very rules are not connected with out-
ward things, but are within us and‘an
integral.part of our innermost beings. :
Each time we set out to solve one of
the difficult.problems. of. life, we find
that every factor of the problem is in-
cluded in living the human life.
vtiee Taife-of Harmen, Is Best.>*~

“It is then that we begin to:realize
that the good life-is not the life of
conformity, but the life of harmony—
not harmony in things without, but
harmony in things within ourselves.
Goodness, in other words, is integrity.

“The perfect life. is not» impossible. .
Socrates looked about.for the unattain-
able for many years. But since a mir-
acle had to happen. the perfect lifé be-
came a reality and Christ was born,
lived and was crucified. .

Publicity Doesn’t Count.

“We are often inclined to think that
the Christians were followers of Christ
merely because He was_ spectacular:
He arose and sat at «the right hand
of God the- Father Almighty. But
wheti we. read the letters. of Paul we
see a light on. the subject: The rub-
bish of. all the ulterior motives is
brushed aside’ and we find the actual
facts: a good man put to death for
his goodness. Then it is that we see
that the business of life is the good
man and not what the good man gets
in publicity.

“We talk of Jesus Christ-as an ami-
able person Who made us: behave .in
our childhoods as our mothers wanted
us to behave. We deprive Him of His
virility and imagine Him weak and
sweetly passive. But the fact that
Christ is discovered again and again
is proof enough of His virility.

“The perfect life is not the life of a
weak, polished gentleman. The life

fect harmonious life—the life of Jesus
Christ.” °

“Every year the Bureau of Recom-
mendations sends out a questionnaire
to all Seniors,” said Mrs. Manning,
speaking in Chapel on Wednesday,
January the 1ith. “There is gener-
ally little response, probably because
few Seniors know the type of job they
are interested in. Also the Bureau
does no active work in procuring any
job besides that of teaching. °

Bryn Mawr Bureau as Clearing House.

“The Co-operative Bureau for

“A good many private schools apply

‘perience in teaching; and~- they are
very willing to take the college’s word

Dt. Fenwick Chosen
Appointed Member of Committee

for Codification of Inter-
- national_Law...-—-—--





Dr. Charles Fenwick, Professor ‘of
Economics and Politics, has been
chosen as‘a member of the American
Advisory Committee on the Codifica-
tion of the International Law. This
committee was chosen on January
in Cambridge, under the auspices of
the faculty of. the Harvard Law
School. The. aim of this committee is
to secure the :co-operation. of Ameri-
can, authorities on legal subjects, “in
order to place before the first confer-
ence for the codificaton,’ of the inter-

bs

national law, which the League of
Nations has called to sit in 1929, a
systematic statement of American

thought on the subjects as to which
codification will be attempted.” These
subjects include nationally, territorial
waters, and responsibility of states for
damage done in their territory to the
persons or property of foreigners.

The organization of this commit-
tee is seen as anothef step in the di-
rection of American co-operation with
the League of Nations. The sub-
jects which are to be studied are of
vital importance to any future devel-
opment of .amicable international re-
lations, and. it will be interesting to
follow: American.expert. opinion on. the
matter.

“Dr. Fenwick is a gradyate of, Loy-
ola College and recei his Ph. D.
degree from John Hopkins University.
From 1911-1914 he worked in: the .di-
vision of International Law, Carnegie
Endowment for International Peace,
and was a lecturer. on International
Law for Washington College of Law
for several years following.

“In 1913 he edited a publication on
the Neutrality. Laws of the United
States, published by the Carnegie En-
dowment for International Peace; in
1920, Political System ‘in Translations;
in 1924, International Law. He is
the author of other articles and trans-
lations.”

“In the first place we have no prac-

before Christmas vacation, a petition was

the new suggestion. A motion was. passed
after a good deal of discussion, that the

In the midst of this rioting the ban-

Weariness té the Flesh
That Harvard’examinations are design-
ed, with unfailing success, to put the
fear of Deity into their victims has long
been an expressed opinion ‘at certain
stated times of the year;-new confirma-
tion, however, of this result appears in
one of the several guidebooks to the city
of Boston, which states that the daily
chapel attendance, in- the period before
examinations, increases three or four
hwgdred per cent. Here is matter alike
for the preacher,-the prophet, and the
psychologist. ‘The daily chapel atten=
dance “at Appleton is usually neither so
large nor so small as to cause exception-
