Norman Angell Says Peace Can
Come By Faith in a Security
Legally Achieved



EVEN FLOW OF WEALTH
REQUIRES REGULATION



Goodhart, November 25.—In answer
to the question What Price Must We
Pay for Peace? Sir Norman Angell
declared that the nations of the world

must surrender armed forces alto-

gether, or failing this, they must hold
them collectively and use them accord-
ing to rules to ensure equality for all.
The result of men’s efforts to obtain
the latter solution (as the more im-
mediately possible of the two) is diffi-
cult to foresee,’ but faith in the possi-
bility of its achievement is essential to
any successful work in this. direction.
The human will is the factor in all
situations which makes any endeavors
possible. One of the economic prob-
lems which must be solved if peace is
to be established is the even flow of
wealth along the highways of the
world.

acute at present, and this can only
be solved by “sitting around a table”
and making “traffic rules.” Most wars
seem to be fought for self-preserva-
tion; a nation wishes to put or keep
itself in a position where it can make
its verdicts acceptable in case of a
quarrel. If men clearly saw that the
issue was one of punishment ofa re-
ealcitrant. nation by the other nations
by all means but war, the communal
policing of nations would be as
natural as the collective defense by
one country of its individual citizens
is today.
Clear Judgment Vital

Sir Norman began with a treatment
of the general problem of peace and
its relations to the existing crisis be-
tween the League and Italy. ‘Every-
one wants peace, but drifts to war”
beeause political measures to secure
peace miscarry. Sound judgment in
the choice of policy is, therefore, es-
sential. In Great Britain,| for in-
stance, the conservatives are divided
into two groups. One is imperialistic,
owns newspapers, and wants to obtain
peace by keeping clear of Europe and
the League. The other group, includ-
ing Sir Anthony Eden and Sir Sam-
uel Hoare, believes that to obtain

Brawn Conquers Brain as Haverfordians
Top Bryn Mawrtyrs in Battle of Sexes



Bryn Mawr, November 25.—Brawn

triumphed over brain as the Haver-_

ford soccer team, armed with old

hockey sticks, invaded the campus and |
defeated the varsity with a score of,
2-0. This thrilling battle of the sexes
was witnessed by a crowd of our,

Haverford brothers, who cheered their
team to victory in their usual quiet
way. The team was less imaginative
in' attire than it has been in other
years.

In the field, Haverford went after
the ball with a resolve that broke
through the Bryn Mawr technique.
The players had speed on their side
and amazing teamwork. Rumor had
it that their skill was all due to a
special hockey coach. At any -rate,
they\ knew what they wanted to do
with the ball and saved the game from
being a mere free-for-all. As usual,
fouls came thick and fast, especially
that old bugbear, obstruction, which
is totally beyond the comprehension
of the male. mind. One of the fun-
niest incidents of the game occurred
when the Haverford goalie stopped a
drive, picked up the ball and threw
it as hard as he could toward the
sidelines. There was so much whistle-
blowing . that two’ healthy referees
were worn to a frazzle by the end of
the game.

Although Haverford was the only



scorer, Bryn Mawr kept the ball con-
sistently around the opposing goal.
The jinx that has haunted the strik-
ing circle all season was present again
and the forwards could not set the
ball past the goalie. During the first
half, Bryn Mawr lost chance after
chance to score, although it showed
nice pass work on the field. After
the first fifteen minutes of play the
men swept down the field and made a
savage attack on the goal. E. Smith,
the goalie, kicked at a hard drive, but
the ball bounced off her foot and into
the goal to score the first point for
Haverford. At the end of the half
Bryn Mawr’s hopes began to rise.
Cary received the ball in the Haver-
ford striking circle and with a neat
flick made what appeared from the
sidelines to be a goal, Unfortunately
there was no point scored because
the ball had hit her foot before she
shot. The half ended with Haverford
capering and Bryn Mawr trembling
over a score of 1-0.

The Yellow forwards opened the
second half with a rush to the op-
posing goal, but they could not break
through the crowd of Haverfordians
that clustered in front of it. With a
hard drive’ or two the men had the
ball out of the circle and well on its
way down the field. As the Haver-

large cast was present, down to the|
least of the royal hussars.

The comedy of The Swan depends
‘or the most part on the incongruous
social position and behavior of a royal
family which is no longer a reigning
house. Beatrice, the former queen,
lives only to restore them to their ex-
alted status. One can imagine her
consternation when she receives a visi-
tation from the heir to a real throne,
and discovers that her daughter has
chosen this erisis to descend to earth |
metaphorically speaking, to conduct |
herself like a normal, ordinary human |
being. The tutor of Beatrice’s two |
young sons drinks his first glass of
wine, and, influenced by its unexpect-
ed effects, proceeds to tell the visiting
crown prince many _ unflattering
things.

In order to reproduce faithfully- a
picture of a well-regulated royal
ménage, Miss Elinor Hopkinson, the
director, has drilled the servants, the
soldiers and even the guests who ap-
pear momentarily upon the scene, in
the rudiments of courtly behavior.
Caesar’s minions practiced with real
dishes; the ladies at the ball rehearsed
one line with polite inflection, and
Beatrice was never permitted to for-
get that she was wearing a train.
This thoroughness is typical of the
whole performance, which should draw
a large and enthusiastic audience.

All the characters seem to be at ease
in their parts and need a little more
time to put the final finesse on them.
Hinckley Hutchings shows herself a
born matchmaker as_ she_ smiles
benignly on Albert. William Reaves,
an excellent comedian, delightfully
portrays Albert as the epitome of
idiotic royalty. He makes himself the
center of attraction by inane conver-
sations for which he is never at a
loss. Symphorosa uses her hands like
Yasu Pitts and is an able companion,
though a bit flighty, to Beatrice’s de-
signs. In fact, even a very short visit
to a rehearsal of The Swan gives
promise of an excellent performance

The death of M. Carey Thomas is a
public loss, but Bryn Mawr College
feels it as a private grief. She was
one of -those who contributed to the
very organization of the college; she
was instructor and dean in its earliest
days; and she was its president for
twenty-eight years. She shaped its
ideals according to her own valiant
standard, and ‘brought those ideals
into realization. No higher honor can
be paid to Bryn Mawr than to say
that it bears the stamp of her per-
sonality.

In her activities connected with .‘e
college, and in her whole life, she stood
unwaveringly for certain purposes.
The equality of men: and women she
more than proved in herself, and she
sought to prove it in all women.
When other colleges for girls hesitat-
ed to sponsor the cause of the suf-
fragettes, Miss Thomas preached the
right to vote to her students at Bryn
Mawr and worked in a larger field as
well, by co-operating with the national
leaders. of the movement. Yet she
never forced anyone to believe as she
did. Freedom of thought was sacred
to her; it was that which she strove
to inspire in the college rather than
any fixed theories of her own. By

M. Carey Thomas

With the passing of President-emeritus M. Carey Thomas the
educational world loses one of its most honored and distinguished
figures. For fifty-two years her name has been intimately associated
with Bryn Mawr College, and the stamp of her character, her ideals
and her standards of scholarship has been indelibly impressed upon
the college. The advancement of education for women and the
attainment of women’s equality of opportunity, of remuneration and
of esponsibility with men in every field was her aim and purpose.

The measure of her success can be seen on every hand.

The difficulties which Miss Thomas faced in attaining a higher
education and in attempting to make available to other women the
training and scholarship essential to their advancement must have

standards which she had eet.
son, the integrity and far-sightedness of her character, and the fun-

seemed well-nigh insuperable to her at times. Nevertheless,

The beauty and vivacity of her per-

damental value of her purpose all contributed to the succ2ss of her
efforts.

The generations of students who passed through the college in
the years of Miss Thomas’: active connection with Bryn Mawr
remember her most clearly, perhaps, in a way different from that of
our generation. Undoubtedly the qualities of able and iaspiring
leadership for which she is known to us are very prominent in their

memories. Most of all, however, they recall ‘Miss Thomas in her

President Marion Edwards
of Bryn Mawr College said:
“Miss Thomas’s connection with
Bryn Mawr College began almost

‘two years before its actual opening,

when she was given the appointment
of Dean, and ended with her death,
which found her-still a member of the
Board df Trustees and President-eme-

sion of her overwhelming interest in
women and in their preparation to
take an equal part with men in
the work and in the leadership of
the world. They express also her
belief in education. She was fortu-
nate enough to be able to throw her
own life into the combination of these
two interests.”



EUNICE MORGAN SCHENCK,
Dean of the Graduate School:

The Graduate School of Bryn
Mawr College may look to Miss
Thomas as its founder in a very

special and personal way. Out of
her own baffling experiences to gain
an opportunity to do advanced work
in this country came the determina-
tion that the new college to which
she was putting her hand should
offer such opportunities. In 1885,
the founding of the resident fellow-
ships for, graduate students and
later the founding of the graduate
scholarships for foreign women and
the M. Carey Thomas and Mary E.
Garrett European Fellowships for
graduate study abroad were epoch
making in the higher education of
women in America.

To the end of her administration
the Graduate Students were regist-
ered and advised in her office and
to the last. Miss Thomas showed her
concern for them, giving to the din-
ing room of Radnor Hall six of the
photographs that had hung in her
old office, in the frames designed by
Lockwood de Forest. In a letter
dated October 21,
“Later in the season at some time
after Christmas, I_ shall be Very glad
to come to Radnor to meet the grad-
uate students and to say a few
words to them.”

That promise quickened the pulse
of the graduate students of today
and links them now forever with
those of the earlier years who felt
the spell of her spirit and the stim-
ulation of her faith in them.



HELEN TAFT MANNING,
Dean of the College:

President Thomas was the most
dynamic person, man or woman, I
have ever known. She had so much
energy that she would frequently wear
out both her colleagues and_the mem-
bers of her family when they were
engagéd in some joint enterprise; and
she was easily able to keep many
irons in the fire, directing work on the
Bryn Mawr campus, attending com-
mittee meetings, participating in the
work of outside organizations, with-
out any evidence of fatigue or the las-
situde and disillusionment that so
often accompanies fatigue. I think
that her.sympathy with and liking for
young people was in part due to her
own youthful qualities, that enthusi-
asm and faith in the possibility°of bet-
ter things, which was just as strong
in the last week of her life as it was
when she was a student at Cornell.

She enjoyed everything. A mem-
ber of her family once quoted her as
saying that she even enjoyed button-
ing her boots in the morning and get-
ting ready for bed at night. This en-
joyment of life was one source of her
extraordinary energy. She met with
many discouragements and many re-
verses, but none of them ever re-
duced her to a state of cynicism or
melancholy. The evils which she very.

economic problems that had gone into
research ‘in the physical sciences, we
should not be confronted with such
hopeless and heart-rending conditions
in human society. It was the courage
with which she faced problems which
would have seemed hopeless of solu-
‘tion to anyone else that made her the
great figure she was to every Bryn
Mawr alumna -and to’many hundreds
of people not ‘conneeted’-with “Bryn
Mawr. ,



‘The following tribute to Miss
Thomas. was made by Dr. Rufus M.
Jones, .president of the Board of
Trustees in his book The Trail of
Life in the Middle Years (1934):

“M. Carey Thomas was President
of the college, the creator, or at
least the inspirer, of its architectural
beauty, and of its unique intellectual
standards. She was a person of
creative educational leadership and
she was endowed with rare qualities
which may, I think, fairly be called
Gusiies Gr weniut, . °°. SE
ever anyone’s life was built into the
very substance and. structure, both
visible and invisible, of an institu-
tion, ‘to go no more out,’ it can be
said that Miss Thomas is forever an
indissoluble part ,of Bryn Mawr
College.”



ELIZABETH BENT CLARK,
President of the Alumnae Associ-
ation:

To all of us, alumnae of a few
years’ standing and to those who can
look back over forty, even fifty years,
of the warm sympathy and the in-
spiring leadership of one of the great-
est women of her age—in truth, of all
ages—the loss of Miss Thomas is an
irreparable one. By the’ academic
world Miss Thomas will always he
recognized as one of the greatest edu-
eators of all time—a pioneer in her
courageous fight for the higher edu-
cation of women and for a better and
more honored position for them in all
phases of the’ world’s gqctivity; she
will be acclaimed as one of the great-
est of women—one of brilliant intel-
lect, broad vision, indomitable will and
inspiring personality. Not only be-
cause of all of these great qualities
has Miss Thomas been loved and rev-
erenced by all who have known her,
but even more for her perfect under-
standing in all circumstances, her un-
failing sympathy and unremitting de-
votion to all the interests of Bryn
Mawr. College.



Public Opinion





Note: The editors take no respon-
sibility for opinions or statements
made in this column.

To the COLLEGE NEws:

In view of the great importance
in the present days of the foreign
policy of our Government with refer-
ence to the conflict between Italy
and Ethiopia and the League’s ac-
tions to curb that conflict, it may be
brought to the notice of the student
body that Mr. Roosevelt’s policy is
one of isolation, and an entire re-
versal of the previous neutrality
policy of the United States in other
wars.

Neutrality, historically and legally,
means the right to trade with bel-
ligerents in certain fixed cases. Be-
cause this concept means very di-
rect connections with the nations at
war, it results in involving the neu-
tral in the war in all too many
cases. It has been the experience of
the United States that neutrality has
not been a peaceful policy, because
it is the obligation of. the neutral
to uphold neutral rights, and with
the changing conditions that are an
inevitable part of every war,. neu-
trality rights have been violated.

Isolation, on the other hand, is
staying away from the belligerents,
and not permitting trade of our na-
tionals with them. That step has
been taken only in the case of arms,
ammunition and materials of war;
but it has been hinted at and re-
quested in the pronouncements of
the State Department in the last
few weeks.

Apart from all considerations of
world security and the prevention of
future wars, isolation would seem to
be the policy best suited to keep us

from being involved. in wars.

Varsity Downs Penn
3-0 on Muddy Field

Penn’ Backfield Outwitted by
Clever Passing, Stick Work
of College Team





SECOND TEAM WINS 6.0



Bron Mawr, November 21—In spite
of a muddy field the Varsity for-
‘wards played a neater, faster game
than last week to score three goals
against-a strong Penn eleven. The
backs did not come up to the stand-
ard: they set for themselves in the
Swarthmore game, with. the . excep-
tion of E. Smith who was _ instru-
mental in keeping the Penn score
at nothing.

Early in. the game, the play
seemed quite .even. Before long,
however, Bryn Mawr carried the ball
down toward the Penn goal. No
sooner had P. Hasse gotten within
striking distance of the goal than
she let go with a good hard shot
that went straight to the spot where
it was supposed to go, accounting
for Bryn Mawr’s first score. Now
Penn threatened for a while, but
Smith managed to. keep her goal-line
uncrossed, and distinguished herself
by making some beautiful clearing
kicks. The red team earned a few
corners, but failed to take advantage
of them. Since the field was wet and
slow, the Bryn Mawr backs did not
make such nice clearing shots as
they have done in the past, but be-
tween their persistence and M. Bake-
well’s tackling back, the yellow for-
wards got ‘possession of the ball once
more. They carried it down the
field, outwitting.the Pennsylvania de-
fense with some nice passwork, and
Bakewell in particular, by doing some
beautiful dodging. The first rush
was stopped by the excellent Penn
goalie, but the red backs did not
clear effectively. J. Taggart picked
up the ball in her corner of the field
near the goal-line and drove it to-
ward the center of the circle where
Cary controlled it and shoved it
into the cage.

From now until the end of the
half the tide of play surged harm-
lessly back and forth in the middle
of the field. Although the Bryn
Mawr play was stronger and the
passes better than those of/the Penn
teem, the University players seemed
more__sure.___In spite _of _ bumpy
cround, they fielded the ball much
better than the Bryn Mawr backs,
and they rushed in faster to tackle
and intercept.

The red team came back to the
second half determined to score. The
players pushed hard and one or two
times seemed on the point of accom-
plishing their purpose. Smith, how-
ever, played beautifully, rushing out
at the crucial moment; and Bryn
Mawr’s slate remained clean. After
its scare, the Bryn Mawr team
tightened up again. Both Taggart
and Brown did some excellent work
in carrying the ball down the wings.
Finally Cary got the ball in the mid-
dle of the field, rushed it down with
some nice dodgework only to miss
the goal by mere inches. The yellow
players, however, had the ball where
they wanted it and kept it there.
Taggart was awarded a corner. She
made one of her beautiful .drives to
Cary, who sent it spinning into the
gcal for another count.

Bryn Mawr’s fighting spirit was
soused. The yellow team rushed back
to the center bully with renewed
vigor, determined to score once
more. The animated rush of the
forwards took the Penn defense quite
by surprise, but Bryn Mawr had not
had time to do more than threaten
when the final whistle blew with the
home team on the long end of a 3-0

score.

with a score of 6-0. Since this
is the first season in several years
that Penn has played. competitive
hockey, its team was. at a distinct
disadvantage. Considering its lack
of practice and experience, it put up

’ The game started slowly with mud-
dling and careless passing. . Both
teams ran aimlessly up and down a
slippery field without accomplishing
anything. The forwards dodged
badly and the backs furnished most
of the play with long; poorly-directed
hits. hen Bryn Mawr managed to
get within the Penn striking circle,
it was unable to ccore. After ten
minutes of messy playing, the Bryn
Mawr line swept down. the field and
into the circle. The goalie in her
efforts to stop the attack slipped and
fell and Carpenter. flicked, the ball
past her to tally the first point. Af-
ter this Bryn Mawr pulled itsolf
together and began to show som:
teamwork. The ‘forwards passed
more accurately and made cleaner
shots in the circle. Carpenter
scored again and Ballard followed
suit with another goal. In the last
two minutes of the half the ball
was in the Penn circle and the Bryn
Mawr forwards were scrambling in
front of the goal. Both Carpenter
and the goalie went down cn the
slippery field and Clark had a chance

to score. She scooped, but the ball
rolled outside just as the whistle
blew. :

In the second half Bryn Mawr be-
gan to run circles around the op-
posing team.. Ballard. made a long,
spectacular run from behind the
fifty-yard line, but fell as _ she
reached the striking circle: Before
she was tackled, she managed to pass
to Carpenter who scored with a
beautiful drive. After some ineffec-
tive passing by both teams, Car-
penter tallied her fourth goal. In
the last few minutes of play Wilson
was substituted for ,Ballard. She
had no sooner taken her place on the
field than she received the ball and
carried it down to the Penn goal
to score again for Bryn Mawr.

Carpenter was the high scorer of
the day, with four goals to her
credit. She played at her best, ex-
hibiting clever stickwork in the field
and clean, hard shots in the circle.
Ballard at left inside put plenty of
fight into her game. The way she
rushed her shots in the circle should
be an example to every forward on
the varsity squad. In the _ back-
field Whitmer at half was slow and
Seattergood at full had a tendency
to play up too far. Stoddard played
a dependable game at right full,

stopping long drives nicely and
backing up her forwards.

Quizzes Test Method
Goodhart, November 21.—Mrs. Man-
ning discussed quizzes in Chapel and

explained that mid-semester quizzes
are given to allow the student time

to go over and organize her material,

and to obtain some perspective of her
work. They give her a platform of

‘facts on which to build. The marks

are not important, but they do allow
the student’ to check up on herself.
They are a warning to show a student
just how well she has mastered the
technique of reviewing and organiz-
ing,

Quizzes are especially important for
freshmen, since they help them to see
the difference between school and col-
lege work. There is more material to
organize, and new methods, such as
outlining, must be learned. It is bet-
ter to go over material at definite
intervals than to try to learn it day
by day. The best plan is to read
through one’s class notes, since. then
the outside work can be fitted in and
its relative importance be understood.

It is important in studying for quiz-
zes_not.to.burden one’s mind with de-
tails. Although most of the faculty
do not like quizzes, they are essen-
tial in courses in which continuity is
important. A definite date by which
to have one’s material in hand is valu-
able for proceeding with one’s work;
and the marks, though not important,
do indicate the success or failure in
method.

New Labor Movement
Must- Promote Unity



Strife of Craft and Industry
Hinders Much Improvement
| Among Workers



LABOR FURTHERS PEACE).

rns

. Common Room, November 17.—
More hope than ever before for a
united, just, and_ successful labor
movement was demonstrated in the
recent American Federation of La-
bor Convention in Washington, D.
C.,.said Mr. John Edelman, a dele-
gate to the convention, in an in-
formal discussion with the Indus-
trial Group and their. guests.

Not so much by the actions of
the delegates as by their attitudes
was this hope justified. An advance
in thinking on labor problems. was
evident,- but more evident ‘was an

advance in feeling. A quicker,
warmer sympathy, a wider point of
view, a more determined liberalism
prophesied the eventual development
_of a real labor, movement, one that
will strive not only for easier
hours and wages, but also for a
definite social purpose, for. the vital
concerns of life, In this develop-
ment, labor must join forces with
pacifism. The noble aims of both
are the same, and neither can be
stable without the other.

One reason for the improvement
in the feeling of the delegates was
the fact that there has been an im-
provement in the economic ‘situa-
tion. The federal efforts to organize
workers in basic industries and to
adjust labor to the necessity of the
times: have been: favorably and
gratefully regarded by the leaders
of “labor. They do not, therefore,
wish to support a candidate against
Roosevelt in 1936. Although they
have been disillusioned by the fail-
ure of the New Deal, they neverthe-
less fear the reaction to ultra-con-
servation which -another administra-
tion might introduce. They agree
that a Labor Party must come in
1940; now the time is not ripe.

In looking for such a_ political
party, the American people have
been wrong to watch nation-wide im-
pulses; for the Labor Party will
have a local origin. A _ limited
group, strongly united in itself, will
__begin by tackling and__solving —its
own problems. The success it wins
will influence neighboring towns and
industries to join and follow it.
"From a nucleus of success like this,
a national Labor Party will eventu-
ally grow. It cannot begin with na-
tional scope, since then it will have
no solid foundations. When its suc-
cess is assured sufficiently to pre-
serve the advantages it gains, the
Socialist Party will undoubtedly
merge with it.

In order to eliminate factions in
the American Federation of Labor,
a committee chosen from such in-
dustries’ as garment workers, oil
Wotkers, millinery and textile
Wotkers and others was formed un-

the leadership of John Lewis,
who represents the United Mine
orkers, and is also the powerful
hew president of the American Fed-
eration of Labor. A _ militant, firm
attitude on the part of this commit-
tee is now necessary to reform the
divided ranks of labor. For many
years the American: Federation was
unfortunately a union of. skilled
workers alone; the little fellow was
simply forgotten. To protect all
employees, craft unions were es-
tablished, and\these grew side by
side with the wider industrial unions
promoted by the Federation. Because
of this dualism, where united action
has been imperative, there has been
instead only wrangling and delay.
When the craft unions say that it
would be dangerous to abolish exist-
ing institutions at once, they are
right. Some organization is better
than none. “The way to do is to
ret something for those for whom
one can get something, rather than
get nothing for anyone,” has been
the motto of the Federation. In the

In this way, she was like her
Quaker family—rational and tolerant.
On her father’s side, the family stock
sprang from Bristol, England, and
from there certain members of it
sailed in 1651 to settle in Maryland.
By 1700, the Whitalls, her mother’s
family were already established on
the banks of the Strsquehanna, only
six miles from Philadelphia. When
Mary Whitall married Dr. James
Carey Thomas, she went to live with
him in Baltimore. There, on the sec-
ond of January, 1857, her daughter,
M. Carey Thomas, was born. She
was educated in the private schools
of Baltimore, where she displayed a
physical» .and mental vigor which
amazed her quiet, prim instructors.
Because*of a serious burn while still
a young child, she was so incapacitat-
ed that for seven years she could do
little but read. She did not, however,
abate her vigor; she merely turned it
all into intellectual channels, learning
whole books by heart if they appealed
to her. After her recovery, she con-
tinued what many of her elders con-
sidered a preternatural interest in
study. To their consternation, she an-
nounced a resolve to learn Greek, and
she did learn it. “She annouriced
further her intention to go to college,
and her reluctant family sent her to
prepare at the Howland School in
Union Springs, New York.

Extensive Education Abroad
Since her preparation was so ad-

vanced and thorough, she was able to
enter Cornell as a junior in 1875 and
‘o graduate in 1877, when only twenty
years old. Because her father was
one of the Board of Trustees for Johns
Hopkins University, she knew by ex-
perience the excellent instruction she

might obtain there, but she knew also|

how difficult admittance into this mas-
culine institution would be. At length,

by a special vote of the trustees, she)

was allowed to enter the graduate de-
partment of Greek. Attendance at
lectures, however, was forbid@den. To
remedy her difficulties, Miss Thomas
conceived the idea of listening to the
flow of wisdom from behind a screen.
This was permissible, and thus she
ursued her studies for another year.

Knowledge gained in one country
she did’ not consider broad enough.
Therefore, she made another of her
surprising resolutions, this time stat-
ing her desire to attend a European
university. In spite of the horror
aroused among her acquaintances: by
the expression of an intent so unpre-
cedented and rash, there was a secret
approval too. She had been stirring
up revolt in the hearts of her young
friends against the unjust position of
women, and the parents of those
friends considered the removal of se
dangerous a girl to Europe as very





‘fore accorded either to'a foreigner or
‘!to.a woman. The thesis which helped

dress, with white gloves and a long
train, she made her appearance before
the whole philosophical faculty, who
eatechised her for- three hours ‘on|

lege, but also with the active extension
of an already existing movement for
advanced education of women. . At
once Miss Thomas found herself in-
volved in both projects as a leader.
She was already connected with the
plans for Bryn Mawr... When she had
been a senior at Cornell, she had
talked with Dr. Taylor, who was then
considering whether or not to make
the college he was intending to found
a women’s annex to Johns Hopkins.
Knowing that she was attending a co-
educational school, he asked her opin-
ion on the subject. She disapproved.
“Her truthful answers in regard to
the rudeness of the men students to
wemen in those early days seemed
greatly to displease his gentle cour-
tesy.” In her opinion, moreover, wom-
en would never be asked to teach except
in separate institutions, yet one of Dr.
Taylor’s objects was to increase the
opportunities for women to put their
training into practice. Because of
Miss Thomas’ convincing arguments,
he soon changed. his scheme and de-
termined on a separate college for
women alone. Now that the work of



going on, it was only natural that she
should be asked to assist in organizing

previously been consulted to advant-

Board of Trustees, and finally, since
she had just returned from Europe
with an extensive education honorably
won. Accordingly, she was appointed
| one of the three young women pro-
fessors who united with only a few
more young men professors to instruct
the first Bryn Mawr class in 1885.
In addition to her professorship of
English, she was also given the ap-
pointment of Dean of the college under
the presidency of Dr. Rhoads.

still small, and the duties of a young
dean scarcely “older,than her charges

graduates with an energy that in-
spired a like energy in them. She
fired them all with her beauty, her
youth and her vast superiority. Sh< |

with him to procure the most talented

first opened, she still sought with her

she carried into effect, and for two

Awarded Honors

At last, in 1922, after twenty-eight
brimming years, Miss Thomas felt it
wise to retire from the presidency of
Bryn Mawr and yielded her place to
Marion Edwards Park. Honors and
eulogies were heaped upon her. Johns
Hopkins, which had so dubiously per-
‘mitted her to study in its precincts,
awarded to her what it had given to
no other woman—the L..L. D. degree.
In the same year, she also received
‘the L. L. D. degree from Swarthmore
College. Previously, the University of
Pittsburgh and Brown University had
given her the same degree; in 1916,
Goucher College had presented her
with an L. H. D.; and in 1919, the
French Government had created her
Officier de l’Instruction Publique. Now
her own alumnae codperated to do her
fionor by raising funds for a prize to
be given in her name every few years
to women of high achievement. At
her farewell dinner, this prize was
awarded to her in recognition of her
greatness. Chief Justice Taft, escort-
ing her during one of the many cele-
brations, told her that if she should
delve into law as she had into educa-
tion, she would be admitted into the
Supreme Court.

New Avenues Are Open
To Women In Business



Deanery, November 22, — Oppor-

tunities for women in business are in-1

creasing in almost every vocation,
Mrs. Lillian M. Gilbreth told a large
audfence of seniors and graduate stu-
dents. She emphasized the import-
ance of attitude toward, work and of
personal. appearance as vital factors
both in obtaining and holding posi-
tions. Mrs. Gilbreth also discussed
marriage in relation to-careers.

‘ Any kind of job is good for «
woman. The mere fact that she has
to pit herself against the economic
situation and prove herself able is
Necessary
attributes for those who would be suc-
cessful are the ability and the willing-
ness to work hard, a high standard of
workmanship and adaptibility.

Women who can maintain a cheer-
ful, serene appearance and attitude
possess a tremendous’ asset. | The
“journalistic type of mind”. which
finds an interesting aspect in every-
thing, which has an eager interest and
an attitude of inquiry, is one that
makes for success. Intelligent ques-
tioning, if one listens to the answer,
will go far in obtaining a job.

In looking for a job, one should
know what one wants to do and then
find the organization which provides
that type of work. It is wiser to take
any job in an organization which has
the _job-one wants-than to take a good
job. in a business which does not-pro-
vide that type of work.

Letters of introduction are of value
in obtaining one’s first interview, and
may possibly: help to get one’s first
job. Letters which contain more than
a mere statement that the writer
knows one and thinks that one might

be fitted for a position in the organi-’

zation are usually more of a hindrance
than a help.

One should expect personal ques-
tions in one’s first interview. Busi-
ness organizations are trying to be
more intelligent about promotion and
right selection; and the questions
which prospective employers ask are
of real value in determining selection,
however far-fetched and impertinent
these questions may seem. They give
the employer an idea of the back-
ground. and personality of the appli-
cant, ;

Some employers. will not hire mar-
ried .women; others, like retailers,
often prefer them,_In_any case, mar-
riagé and a career are by no means in-
compatible. A job provides a woman
with an outside interest and often en-
ables her to make a better job of mar-
riage.

Secretarial work has been consid-
ered in the past the opening to almost
any/type of work for a woman, al-

_ though there was always the very real

danger of its becoming a blind alley.
Men now become secretaries in order
to learn a business, to find a stepping
stone to executive positions. It is dif-
ficult for women to go from secretarial
positions to executive ones; and there
is always the chance of their remain-
ing secretaries if they are efficient and
capable. The importance of a secre-
tarial course for women is too often
overemphasized. Typing is necessary
in any job; shorthand is a ridiculous
requirement.

Paris, she sat for Paul Manship, who
modeled the marble bust which is in
the Bryn Mawr Library. In Paris,
too,,she was one of the four voting
Atheviessh delegates at the Convention
of the International Federation of
University Women. When she came
back to America, she launched into
one more of her campaigns for prog-
ress and right. This time she urged
the United States to enter the Leafue
of Nations. Although she was at-
tacked by the press, she was not at all
daunted. When she believed in some
purpose, she defended it with all her
might, and not all the might of the

ous will (that) Guddenly plays over
and through everything. . |. Beauti-
ful, vivid and dynamic... .” In the
celebration of the Twenty-fifth Anni-
versary of the College, President
Monroe Taylor, of Vassar, praised
her so that no better praise can be
spoken: “But we recognize ideals
where ‘we see them, and we are proud
today of a college that has stood for
them under a leader—may we not also
say creator—who has never wavered,
never lost her eourage, never aban-
doned her purpose, and who from the

tion of the admirable career of Bryn

Common Room, December 3.—If
Italy melted down all the available
gold wedding-rings, jewelry, etc., she
would have eighty-six million pounds
of bullion with which to buy abroad.
Italy’s reaction to the League oil
embargo is uncertain, but already
wood is being burned in place of
gasoline. The chief danger at the
moment is the possibility of Italy’s
resort to arms to oppose the em-
bargoes. Italy has a special corps of
aviators, prepared to drive them-
selves and their plans, loaded with
bombs, into British battleships. If
this plan were carried out, the en-
tire British fleet would be anni-
hilated.

Domestic events, particularly the
coming presidential campaign, are
worthy of note. The three hats in
the Republican ring are those of
Herbert Hoover, who recently. re-
turned with a happy smile to Palo
Alto, Frank Knox and Governor
Landon. President Roosevelt has

ment’s “reckless spending” with a

Monster Questionnaire

by Dr. Chew Reprinted

““__Samuel C. Chew, who eight years
ago perpetrated the ultimate horror in
questionnaires—” this was the notice
in a recent issue of Vanity Fair that
set Bryn Mawr undergraduates won-
‘dering about the circumstances of that
questionnaire. Inquiries disclosed the
fact that eight year's ago Vanity Fair
published, after its intermittent cus-
tom, a long literary questionnaire. Dr.
Chew, glancing through it’ and an-
swering the queries casually, received
a score of 99 per cent; and a friend
of his who was totally ignorant of
literature, received 20 per cent. Dis-
gusted by the feebleness of the ques-
tions, Dr. Chew decided “to pull the
leg of Vanity: Fair,” and “knocked off
a questionnaire, deliberately trying to
be highbrow.” His questionnaire was
not limited to literature alone, but in-
cluded the arts as well.

Much to Dr. Chew’s amazement,
Vanity Fair wrote to him almost im-
mediately after receiving the question-
naire and stated that although they
usually paid only twenty-five dollars
for such contributions, they liked this
one so well that they would pay one
hundred dollars. Dr. Chew accepted
the amazing offer on condition that
he would not have to read the answers.
_, Replies to the questionnaire poured
in by the thousand, frequently fol-
lowed by telegrams from people who
had already answered and had ac-
quired additional information since
submitting their replies. Vanity Fair
then weeded out the answers and, hav-
ing selected the best fifty, asked Dr.
Chew to come help select the winner.
It speaks well for the college that the
first prize for answering the “mon-
ster” was won by a Bryn Mawr
graduate!

Some of the questions and the re-
marks with which Vanity Fair
prefaced the questionnaire are pub-
lished below:

peace the League must be a reality.
If one of these paths leads to peace,
the other must lead to war, and sound
judgment is required to choose the
right path. WOR.

The American press seems confused
in its impressions of British backing
of the League. It assumes that Great
Britain’s sudden a of the
League .is only because she wants to
keep open the lines of communieation
with the empire. This view disagrees
with obvious facts. The old-line von-
servatives, intensely imperial though
they are, actively support Italy.. Edi-
torials in the London Times praise
Mussolini as a great civilizer. The
present, government, on the other
hand, is supported by Liberals, the
Labor Party, Communists, the Irish
Free State and Russia. The policy
advocated by the high-brows is pure
British imperialism, and this is a mat-
ter not of opinion, but of fact.

Italy’s Invasion Futile

Two explanations are commonly
given for Italy’s invasion of Abys-
sinia: her need for raw materials and
ther expanding population. No one is
withholding materials from Italy. All
nations would gladly get rid of raw|
materials; and there are even govern-
ments which pay to stop production.
because there is such a glut on the
market. Farmers do not refuse’ to
sell to Italy;they will-sell to. anyone
who can pay. It is a strange idea
that a state must have its raw ma-
terials within its own borders. The
great, textile industry of England im-
ports its materials. Self-sufficiency
is geographically and culturally ab-
surd; but even if it were possible, it
would 'riot®solve the economic prob-
lems. Even the United States, the
most nearly self-sufficient of all the
great. nations, has had its economic
difficulties.

This idea of the necessity of owning
raw materials bears on the common
assumption that most of our modern
troubles arise from the Treaty of
Versailles. The treaty is unjust, but
even if it were revised beyond all
German dreams, peace would not be
ensured. When Germany had the
lands she lost in 1919 she was a cause
of unrest to Europe.

Italy’s second reason for invasion
is. her growing population; but she
cannot solves this problem by African
colonies. In the fifty years in which
she has owned Eritrea, only eighty-
five Italian colonist farmers have set-
tled there. Somaliland has been more
profitable, for last year a mass mi-
gration of ninety Italians took place.
Other countries have had similar ex-
periences. More Germans earned their
livelihood in Paris in June, 1914, than
in all the other German coloniés com-
bined. One of the reasons why Euro-
peans do not colonize is clear—they
have to compete with a population
with lower standards of living. Italy’s
activities, therefore, are not a relief
for population pressure.

In discussing Italy’s population
problem, people seem to forget that
the ‘density of the population in Eng-
land and Wales is. twice as great as
that in Italy. They assume that the
British unemployed can be sent to the
colonies, and are as unaware as the
press that the British Empire has
come to an end. By the recent statute
of Westminster, voted for by Sir Nor-
man, no act of the British Govern-
ment has any validity in any British
dominion. The dominion emigration
laws, therefore, are not made in Lon-
don, and they make no distinctions in
their regulations between the British
and the Italians. Even without laws,
however, economic conditions would
prevent such a migration. A Lanca-
shire farmer could produce wheat; but
there is too much wheat, and he would
not be able to sell it. In the last
year 20,000 colonists returned to
Great Britain. The movement is
toward, not from, the center.

Common Trade Rules Needed

The problem of raw materials,
therefore, is not one of suitable farm-
ers, but one of purchase. Material,
in the capitalistic world, is only
wealth if it can be sold. No one can
pay for a thing except by selling his
own raw material. The man who is
able to buy coal from the Pennsyl-
vania miner only gets his money—
despite Father Coughlin—by selling,
and so on. Wealth is a flow, a proc-
ess; and if the traffic on the high
ways of the world is blocked, as it

his coffee, and the Kansas farmer his
cotton, but neither burns the Pennsy]-
vania miner’s coal. Only rules, made
by sitting around a-table and revised
as society grows, can keep traffic mov-
ing. Yet when this is suggested, the
newspapers cry: “Will * free-born
British citizens obey rules made: at
international conferences by foreign-
ers?” They urge Great Britain to
follow the United States and refuse
to enter into international conferences
with a majority of foreigners. The
tempo of modern times, however, is
much quicker than formerly,.and: men
must deliberate to avoid disaster.
Wars For Self-Preservation

No such methods are possible, how-
ever, until man’s impulse for self-
preservation is dealt with. Broadly
speaking, this’ instinct is the cause of
wars, since nations react to self-pres-
ervation in a way to produce war.
Each nation wants to be stronger than
the attacker. This method starts with
a denial of right. There are many
conceptions of defense. A _ British
military expert, a “brass hat,” defined
it as. what one means by locking the
door at night. : Arms are needed to
keep out invaders. Although British
wars have been in theory self-defen-
sive, history shows that they were not
fought. to protect British soil; for
since the Norman Conquest all. have
been fought in someone else’s country.
The history of the United States is
similar. When our country sent its
navy to the Mediterranean, it was
“defending American rights and inter-|
ests.”

Militarists insist that a nation must
be stronger than its neighbors in order
to defend its rights and interests.
This strength, the nation assures the
world, will be used only for defense.
This means that when it gets into a
quarrel in which its interests and
rights are disputed, it will always be
insa position to make its verdict ac-
cepted. If it were stated in this way,
namely, that one party to the dispute
is also the judge, we would call it an

“outrage.” Yet this way is being
werked out today in the Mediter-
ranean,

Before the war Great Britain said
that if the power of Germany grew
and if Germany could impose her will
in Europe, she would be defenseless.
She felt this defenseless position
should not be occupied by a free peo-
ple, and then said: “Germany shall;
occupy this position!” Germany, she
said,—could_trust.to Britain for fair
play, and yet the Treaty of Versailles
was made. (It was the British navy
and the United States industrial re-
sources which made this treaty.) Ger-
many says that this is a result of
being weaker than her neighbors and
that next time she will be stronger.
Then after she has struck at the
proper time, she can make a new
status quo. It will probably be even
worse than the present treaty, since
Germany will have been influenced by
two decades of Hitlerite indoctrina-
tion. The rest of the nations would}
retaliate against this injustice, though |
they would not be fighting for justice.
Germany would once more rearm. But
long before this logical processCGould
be completed, the capacity of Western
Europe to make war would have
c2ased, and all that makes life worth
living would have perished.

Wars are not fought for justice,
but to make the victor the judge of
his own cause. If justice can be en-
forced_by coercion;-force must be used
to restrain the litigant from judging
his own cause. Man must consider
the problem of transferring these
situations to the realm of law. If one
starts by saying that there will be no
more war, war makers and nations
refusing arbitration and using force
to impose their will will be called the
common enemy. They will be: re-
strained by moral, political, economic,
financial and diplomatic pressure, but
not by war. This would be possible
if men understood the issue.

International Defense Safer

The fact that most people do not
realize this issue is illustrated by the
question a young member of Parlia-
ment- asked Sir Norman. He asked,
“Would you use a poker against a
burglar?” The answer was, “Yes, if
nothing better were handy.” Sir Nor-
man told him that when every house-
hold had arms, bandits were much
more common than now. Man’s rela-

power, but to the collective defense of
the community. The real question
should have been, “Will you pay the

Catherine The Great

Continued from Page One



more remarkable when we remember
that she was born the daughter of
the petty German Prince of Anhalt-
Zerbst. The connection of the Ger-
man states with Russia was very close
in the eighteenth century. Many Ger-
man princes married into the Russian
noble families, and; Russia hoped that
they would link her with western Eu-
rope. Catherine, whose original name
was Sophie, had an uncle who had died
the fiancé of the Empress Elizabeth;
wh'le a cousir of her mother had mar-
ried another: daughter of Peter the
Great; and their son Peter was the
heir apparent. Sophie had- naturally
turned away from the narrow pro-
vincialism of her home life when in
1744 Elizabeth ordered her to come
to. Russia to be Peter’s fiancée.

Sophie went to Russia at the age
of fifteen. She already had an inicl-
lect keen to take root in foreign soil,
and she intended to stand firm amidst
the distrust and intrigues of Russian
court life. It was then only the fourth
year of Elizabeth’s reign, and the gov-
ernment was unstable. In the fif-
teen years succeeding Peter the Great
there had been four rulers, all women
or children and all dependent upon the
advice of Germans.: Foreign influ-
ence had only. just been pushed back
and a distrust of foreigners dominated
the court. Sophie was determined to
succeed in spite of these obstacles.
Her intention to adopt Russia as her
country is seen in the steps she took
shortly before her marriage, when she
changed her name to Catherine and
became a member of the Greek Ortho-
dox Church.

Catherine’s marriage to Peter III
was hastily completed, with tragic re-
sults for her. Yet although her mar-
riage was never consummated, and
although Peter, who was rather an
imbecile, tormented her with his
liaSons, Catherine emerged from these
difficulties victoriously. Her success
was due to her charm of personality,
her cleverness, will power and femi-
nine grace. She was not astute or
calculating; her natural _ instincts
drove her on to seek more and more
power. She had been early trained
to judge men, and at bottom she had
a vitality and serenity which no
vicissitudes could destroy.

Catherine was also helped to power
by the foolish ways of Peter, which
offended the nation. He had no inter-

est in Russia, but when Elizabeth

humored Menaechmi as they are of
its famous successor, The Comedy of |
Ev; rers, was proved by the howls of
laughter which arose from Goodhart

go to Margaret Lacy and Josephine
Ham who so cleverly put colloquial
Plautine Latin into the vernacular

that twins A and B were in a swell

Students Read Dailies
With Growing Interest

The old.idea that no nice girl ever
reads the newspaper seems to have dis-
appeared forever. The undergradu-
ates on campus today hold the record
for-personal subscription to New York
papers as well as to smaller papers of

more loeal interest. The New York
Times and the New York Herald-
Tribune together have subscriptions
in the college amounting to 156 daily
papers and 187 Sunday papers. The
number of papers, however, does not
include the number of students. who
subscribe .with someone .else.

In the years 1889 to 1893, when
Miss Donnelly was a student in Bryn
Mawr, “some very’ enlightened people
may ‘have taken newspapers.” The
slight amount of newspaper reading
done took place in the Taylor Library.
Miss Thomas, who was Dean of the
College at that time, spoke in Chapel
three or four times a week on cur-
rent events which she considered in-
teresting; and once a week an out-
side speaker came. The undergradu-
ates of this time were steeped in the
question of feminine equality. In the
scholastic field the humanities and
sciences dominated student interest.
At the beginning of the twentieth cen-
tury Miss Donnelly noticed a swing
of_interest_ to_economics and_ history.
This interest seemed to continue until
after the Great War, when a rever-
sion to the humanities occurred. At

Was a newspaper read by a student.
She feels that Dr. Fenwick’s lectures
on current events stimulate the inter-
est of the student today to read the
newspaper in order to find the source
of a current problem and form a per-
sonal opinion.

Dean Manning, who was an under-
graduate off and on between the years
1908 and 1915, noticed a great lack of
interest.in-newspapers among most of

ithe student body.. Mrs. Manning read

them because her father was in politics
at the time, but she seemed to be the
only person in her Hall addicted to the
habit. _During her one interview with
President Wilson at the White House,
the President remarked that, while
he was an instructor at Bryn Mawr,
the students did not read the news-
papers enough. Mrs. Manning has
noticed that in times of great crises
student interest in the newspaper
picks up. In her years as a student
each hall had a newspaper, usually
a New York or Philadelphia paper, a
custom which has continued more or
less regularly ever since.

During the years 1914-18, when
Miss Gardiner was an undergraduate,
a natural acceleration in newspaper
reading was effected, particularly in
1916 and 1917. Dr. Gray began to
give informal current event lectures

present she sees in the student aj until he entered war service, when



portion subscribed to newspapers and
when something important was brew-
ing, students often bought evening
papers.

Since Miss Fisher; ’22, has been
back at Bryn’ Mawr as warden, she
has noticed a great increase in the
undergraduates’ reading of the daily
newspapers. . In that time, just after
the war, there was a natural interest
in immediate results such as the Peace
of Versailles.

Even since 1930, when Miss ‘Lake
graduated, there has been an increase
in the number of subscriptions to per-
sonal copies of newspapers. While
Miss Lake was an undergraduate, Mr:
Waldo Walker, a representative from
the ‘New York Times, finally con-
vinced Mrs. Chadwick-Collins that it
would be worthwhile to have a special
agent solicit for subscriptions to the
paper. The institution of this pogition
brought py results and a stéadily
erent number of subscribers.
Miss Miake’ noticed a greater interest
in the daily paper in 1929, when the
depression came as an amazement to
the undergraduates of: the “boom”
period. Some interest was also taken
in the Smith-Hoover campaign, but
students were more concerned with
collegiate activity.

At the present time, it seems that
students realize that the affairs of
the nations are of enough importance

can say whether or not she was sin-
cere. Catherine attracted loyal fol:
lowers, and it was her friends
who*nitiatéd the badly managed plots
which overthrew Peter. Though at
first Catherine asked the people to
help her and her son Paul, she later
forgot his claims; for she took the
oath of an empress,’ not of a regent.
She acted with .her characteristic
quickness ip this emergency, and was
not hampered by doubts or scruples.

Several factors enabled Catherine to
maifitain herself on her throne until
her, death in 1796. Her chief ad-
vantage was the lack of possible cen-
ters of latent opposition. The last
two living ‘blood contestants were
“launched into eternity” early in her
reign, although Catherine’s responsi-
bility has never been proved. Her
husband Peter was shot by Alexis
Orlov soon after the former’s im-
prisonment. Catherine did not punish
Alexis, and in fact, ten-years later he
was the admiral of the Russian fleet.
The ex-emperor Ivan VI, who had
grown up in prison and was mentally

erine’s minister, Panin. Cather-
ine-did; however; -have to put down
one serious uprising in the 1770’s.
Peter’s name was still a symbol for
the masses, who were led’ by. an
illiterate Cossack Pugachev. This
man could even convince the peasants
that he was Peter III, though he was
stout and short, while the emperor
had been lean and fair. Catherine
used the two traditional methods of
the eighteenth century to put down a
revolt: the army and the nobles. The
latter even gave her voluntary money
contributions, partly because they
were proud of the prestige Catherine
brought to Russia and to St. Peters-



burg.

preccding period chiefly because she
knew how to work. In the morning
she wrote letters to Voltaire and
other European friends, with whom
she discussed philosophy, and indicated
her political wishes. She also enjoyed
writing comedies. Then she held
audiences of her ministers, ambassa-
dors, etc. In the afternoon she went
over important business. Her n-
sellors were carefully selected, but she
ruled by- her own judgment.

After the death_of. Peter, Catherine
never remarried. Instead she had
many lovers, a dozen in all. She was
devoted passionately and singly to
each in turn, in contrast to Elizabeth
of England, who liked to play up many
favorites at once. Only two of her
lovers were her equals in ability, She
broke with one, Grigory Orlov, be-
cause she decided that she could not
marry him in spite of the fact that
he belonged to the “race of heroes”
she was so proud of having discovered.
The second, Potemkin, remained her
minister and adviser long after their
passion had cooled. Her favorites be-
came a court institution, and nobles
would vie with each other to intro-
duce the next one to her. Although
the institution sounds crude, it was
not politically dangerous, for Cath-
erine vationalized their position and
never let these men influence her
choice of policy.

cess’ is immediately obvious. Russian
influence was greatly extended in her
reign, and much new territory was
acquired by the partitions of Poland
and by the two Turkish wars. These
latter are particularly important,
since they made Russia a great south-
eastern as well as a northern power.
Although this policy continued the
work of the first half of the century,
and went on until it»reached its cli-
max at the Congress of Vienna, it
was Catherine who changed the pre-
vious short-sighted and unsystematic
development into .a thoroughly out-
lined policy which was continued long
after her reign. Catherine systemat-
ically | encouraged, divisions between
the king .and the nobles, both in
Sweden and in Poland; and while she
failed to get control of the govern-
ment in the former country, she did
manage to have her candidate, Stani-
slaus Poniatowski (her second lover),
nominated to the Polish throne after
the death of King Augustus III in
1763.

Russia’s success in the south was
pushed by ~var. Pan-Slavic ideas and
hopes of a second Russian monarchy
in the Balkans were voiced 4s early
as 1769. In 1784.Russia acquired the
Crimean peninsula, and after the sec-
ond Turkish war she expanded south-
east to the Dniester River: Odessa was
founded in Catherine’s reign, and il
soon became a large grain port, Rus-
sia dawned as a power .on the Euro-
pean horizon: when in 1770 her ftéet
sailed through the Baltic Straits and
around Europe to fight the Turks.

Russia also had considerable influ-
ence in middle Europe during Cath-
erine’s reign. Denmark became prac-
tically a Russian outpost. Frederic
the Great sent money to support the
Russian army against the Turks, and
Russia’s renewal in 1779 of the terms
of the peace of Westphalia made her

In domestie-—pohey--cather-ne’s_suc-
cess was nét-so obvious. Although
she started to improve the conditions
of the serfs.and to create a new court
of common law, she had to abandon
these attempts. Deputies were only
united in, their opposition to change
and the Pugachev revolt drew her
nearer to her nobility, on whom she
came more and more to depend. Her
yielding was not an accident, but was
because. of her foreign birth. Al-

Russia, Catherine never really under-

In spite ‘of Catherine’s efforts to
bridge the gap between bureaucracy
and the people, her reign resulted in
a widening of the gulf between the
upper and lower classes. The develop-
ment both of local government.and of
economic. wealth strengthened. the
nobles. The acceleration of the indus-

The beauty and the thrilling quality

to start dancing after February; and
the more who start now, the better
the dancing will be. Upperclassmen

Final Hockey Game of Season

On Saturday morning the Varsity
heckey team will close its season with
a game with the All-Philadelphia team
at 10 A.-M. The game should be.
fast and interestiig to watch. A
large crowd of undergraduate specta-
tors would be appreciated.

The team which Varsity meets this
Saturday is undoubtedly one of the
strongest groups of women _ field
hockey players in this country. Ih
the face of such opposition Varsity
must play its: best hockey in order to
keep down the score. Last season the
Bryn Mawr team held its opponents
to a 4-1 victory.

~The All-Philadelphia team is select-
ed early in November after weeks of
try-outs among the members of the
many club teams which play in the
