A gentle, caressing voice, so undrama-



a large crowd in Taylor Hall absolutely

Friday night. ,This voice was the voice
of George William Russell, Irish poet
and “economist, whose gray-bearded,
‘patriarchal figure aroused in his audience |
a sympathy which his words soon ‘in-
creased to enthusiasm. He ould speak,
he said, on some personalities in the Irish
literary movement; but to him, who was
their intimate friend, they were men and
women, rather than literary figures;
people who, like himself, desired passion-
ately a harmony between their inner and |
outer worlds, and thereby caused a great
commotion in Ireland.

- Ireland Robbed of Native Culture.

In his boyhood, Mr. Russell went on,
he and his friends lived in a kind of
jmaginative fever. Since the Act of
Union in. 1800, which made English. the.
prescribed language for all of Ireland,
the Gaelic culture, cycles of legends and
poemis going back to the time of the
Gauls, locking up the memory and im-
agination of a people ‘for hundreds of
years, had~been submerged. Ireland,

“One of the most startling examples

of preconceived. ideas,’ said. . Miss
Schenck in chapel on Fsite 7" ~ “rk

Orals.”

“The examinations are called. ‘orals’
because they were formerly given orally.
The students came up .for the exam in
the office of the President and were after-
wards locked*in the chapel until the pas-
sage was changed. This examination,
Sheard before a fearsome committee con-
sisting of the President, the-head of the
French department, and any other stray
member of the faculty, proved to be
‘more a test of nerve than a test.of a
knowledge of the language. ‘For this
reason a:change in the form was thought
advisable.

“The present three-part examination
consists of one sight passage to test the
basic knowledge of the student; a~stin~
‘mary passage for those who have been

and a dictionary passage, since a reading

able to get the complete thought | if 2

“ “Many ‘curious suggestions have bee
‘bandied about as to how the Orals are

pend on the number. of mistakes ‘in the

President Speaks on
Use of Sdurce Material

“A warning to the Freshmen” was the
subject of Miss Park’s talk in chapel
on Wednesday, February 15. Several
Freshmen made rather bad mistakes and
it may have been because the question
of academic work was not clear to all
of them. .

The college expects honest and in-
dividual: work “from~all students. There
is @ general understanding of this fact
as inclitded ‘in thd word:. integrity when
applied to examinations, from early
school and family training. In spite of
general knowledge, however, there are
misapprehensions. Any method by which
the student can get ahead of ‘the in-
structor, or vice versa, seems fair, But
when the instructor asks a question, he
is not seeking for the correct answer—
he knows that already; he wants to see
what the student has gotten from the

misapprehensions or — understanding.
Marks simply designate whether this pic-
tufre is excellent, good or poor. If the
picture is individual work, the mark is
fair, but in cas® of dishonesty it has no
meaning.

The same thing applies to all written
work—teports and papers as well: as}.
quizzes. To use another’s work is like | 4
making a speech that is. furnished by
an agency. There is no meanihg to it.

There are advantageous ways in which
you can use the material of another; a
wide variety of sources adds a richness
to your work, but these must be covered
by. the flavor of your own _personality
and viewpoint. :

Two other points. must be mentioned.
It is essential that papers be in on time;
the instructor has no responsibility for
giving credit to a late paper. Second,

that men
of religion and screntists can get along

between them. Therefore it is only fair

that we should adopt the same attitude
toward them. As it is, the man in. the
street applauds the announcements. of
scientific discoveries, but regards new

This is obviously unfair. In,theology as

and the same freedom should be’ given
to every scientist, whatever his field. The

Industrial Meeting



bad cial on Conditions of Striking
Coal Miners
Read.



Once a month, uffder the auspices of
the Social Service Committee of C. A.,
a group of Bryn Mawr students have
been. meeting with industrial working
girls from the Germantown Y. W. C. A.
to discuss’ industrial problems. These
groups, which take up such topics as
Trade-Unions, Social Insurance and
working cont meet alternately here
and in Germantown. Last Saturday one
of these meetings took place at Bryn
Mawr. Miss-Mary. Kelsey, who was con-
nected with the Friends’ Reconstruction
Committee after the war and who con-
ducts a sort of International school of
discussion in France durifig the summer,
presented a report on conditions in the
coal fields. in western. Pennsylvania,
which is staitling enough to justify its
full quotation here, though space does
not permit more than a few excerpts.
Miss Kelsey has studied mining condi-
tions in England and Wales, and has just
firiished this survey of the Pennsylvania
mines.

Known of in Europe.

“It is a curious fact,” the report* “be-
gins, “that the coal strike now in prog-
ress in the bituminous fields of western
Pennsylvania, Ohio: and Illinois, and in-
volving some 65,000 men, is today prob-
ably. more widely known and discussed
i1-Europe:than it is in America, . .
The present struggle actually began in
1925 .when the Pittsburgh Coal Co.
abrogated the "Jacksonville Agreement,
signed in 1924 with the United. Mine’
Workers. ‘This action was followed by
the refusal of other comparfies in the
area to renew their contracts, on the
ground of losses due to a — mar-
ket. oy
" “Over-development _ had restilted in
large losses to the mine owners, who
sought to overcome “their difficulties in

The green, as.always, will play an im-
portant part in the May Day entertains
ment. This year tryouts for the various
types of dances to be done are being
held now. These dances are to include
the dance of the Sweeps with. their
Jacks, three sets of Morris dancers with
their fools, hobby horses, and Toms, or
with their, Kings and Queens, and three
sets of sword dancers, dressed as Eliza-
bethan sailors -There will also be varie
ous’ éountry dances, some-performed by
the ‘village folk, and some by the gentles,
in court costume. There is no dancing
included in the plays which have been
chosen for presentation this year, and
“there is to be no masque. On the other
hand, the people who would otherwise
have taken part in the masque will do
gypsy and shepherd dancing on the green.
. Anyone, whether she cares to take part
in the dancing ‘or not, may attend the
rehearsals; it is the very best kind of ex-
ercise to prepare for any May Day part.
Only .one pageant rehearsal a° week is
being made compulsory for everyone.

work if required the results will show

COMMUNISTIC CANINES

A strange, varied aud migratory
race are the campus dogs. .None
knows whence they come or whither
they go. From the tall ‘slim white
borzoi who is like a: ghost dog, elu-
sive and uncompanionable, to ‘the
compact and amiable terrier, there]
is not one of them who seems to)
have a-settled abode. True, there i$

One. and _ all, apparently, these
dogs are affected by the virus of
higher education; they are disciples
of the intellectual revolt, owning no
master, and asserting the right to be}
nonpartisan. --It~-is--of--the Bryn
Mawr dogs, not the’ Bryn’ Mawr
girls ‘that ‘people myst be thinking |
when they call this college a hot-bed|

By some system of canine commrmi-
pnication they “attract others +>"
paths of learning. ‘Their .numbers
are swelling visibly. Soon they will
be barking for a place on the self-
government board. It is high time
for the college to decide whether
these dogs are an inferior race, to be
kept in ignorance and subjection, or
whether they are a free people, en-
titled to the benefits of education,
representation and the vote.



EDUCATIONAL GUINEA PIG

Mr. Duffus has finished his series
of articles on the college of today ;
his last word on the subject .con-
tained something of a hint of what
he expected and hoped to find.n the
college of tomorrow....The firstac-
tually working example of. the fu-
ture higher education is today being

lied at the University of Wis-
consin. “It does not really teach
anything. What it does is to try to

sions and reading, to the ager 6
an entire civilization.” This matKs
a very definite step away from the
collége which seeks to prepare its
graduates for a definite niche in the
places of life; Meiklejohn’ s Experi-
mental College “no longer tacitly as-
sumes that what its student desires
is not an education, but some social
or economic advantage that may be
derived from spending four years at-
Mendig college.” The hundred and
twenty members of this college have
adopted the guinea pig as their mas-
cot, since it, like themselves, is the

‘innocent martyr” to the progress of
human education !

«In some way, by means fair or
foul, by way of taxation or by way
of tremendous gifts, the college
must. first become completely en-
dowed (happy:thought). Only then
may they, education. progressing as

Dr. Paul Shorey Returns.

For the second -time in two years Dr.
Paul Shorey,
kent of Greek at the University of Chi-
cago,™but formerly professor of Greek
at Bryn Mawr, will return to the campus
where he began his teaching career. - Last
May he spoke here on “Realism .and
Idealism in Greek Literature.” » This’Fri-
day, at 8.15; P.°M.in Taylor Halt, “he
will discuss “Plato in Jest and Earnest,”
a subject on which-he is especially quali-,
fied to, speak, having written at least
‘three essays on various aspects of the
great philosopher, His. latest work, The
Assault on Humanism, was published ‘in
1917. Dr. Shorey,
many as thirteen’ degrees from various
colleges here and abroad, is one of the
best known’ country. Though, ‘he left: Bryn Mawr in
1892 the tradition of his inspiration as a
teacher is still préserved:

Book Reviews
Av» Tabloid History of Women.
(Specially contributed by Hornell Hart.)
“Worship of fertility, the right to
work, and the acknowledgment that she
is a rational being to precisely the same
-ettent as a man is, are the three. safe- “

| guards necessary to women’s happiness.

That is the key-sentence in A.Short
History of Women by John Langdon-
Davies (New “York: ‘Lhe Viking Press,
1927). <-As-- to feminisin among - ‘the
simpler peoples, he: says:

“Undoubtedly the first redeeming fea-
ture -ior primitive woman: is the fact
that she had plenty of hard work.

A’ second is that she is always able to
fulfill her biological functions; she is
always a wife and: mother, unless by

e rare ill-fate she is physically
abnormal. ”

countries, from forty-three to sixty-seven
per cent. of women of marridgeable age
“are unable to fulfill their biological func-
. tions in any way recognized by poctety.
Since nature makes it a wWéll-nigh uni-
- wersal' law that when any part of our
physical machinery is not “used, it rusts
. and throws the rest of the machinery out
of gear, it is obvious that. such a. state
of affairs is respo ible to a large extent’
for the red tua of hysteria, neu-
“tosis and insanity which, unlike: savages,
our civilized communities have to bear:
We must indeed assert emphatically that
“the life of a savage woman is on a
firdier- basis o happiness because “the.
sexual life is n@yer neglected nor’ dis-
torted into other ‘and less, satisfactory
channels; Toa ‘civilized’ man, a celibate
“is often a logical necessity ; to a savage
he or she is always a pervert.”
The greatest defense of woinan against

the ‘stperstitious fear’ and abhorrence [*

which she inspired was, according to
Davies, the worship of fertility—the rev-
erence for women as thé only givers of
life. Cybele, of Asia Minor, Greece and
Rome,.. worshiped by orgiastic dances,
fertility rites, wild self-mutilations, and
human sacrifices; Ishtar of Babylon;
Isis of Egypt—through . such mother-
‘gods ‘as- these, alike save only in name,
the feminine principle , triumphed over.
the ancient civilized“ world.

Into the paradise produced by fertility
worship came a destroyer:

“Among all the .enemies of women,
none has waged more implacable war
‘against them than the religion which
grew up and was called Christianity. It
brought a blast. from the: desert which
made all nature sterile—the nomadic
Philosophy _ of pastoral peoples whose
~women were a nuisance to the group,

perity. When men gave up the wor-
ship of fertility, the one anchor against
sex antagonism was gone; in the first
thousand years of Christianity .women
drifted hopelessly in a storm of horror.
Beyond all possible doubt the first cen-
turies of Christianity degraded women,
filled them with: despair, made their life
purposeless, to: an -extent which has

of mankind.”

As to the Middle Ages, developments
are summarized thus:

“Chivalry produced the’ Lady, and her
gp lovers ; Christianity .produced
te nny and her gsublimated religious
passion; the survivat of old fertility cults
produced the: witch and her orgies with
the-Dewil.”

The. supreme degradation of women
was reached in “The Female Character,”
~whose lineaments are thus sketched by
Roifsseau :

“The education of women should ‘
always relative to the men. To please
wus, to make us love and esteem them,
‘to educate us when young, and care for
ius when grown up, to advise, to console
ius, to render our lives easy and agree-
cable: these are the duties of women at
-all ‘times, and what they should be taught
jn their infancy’.”

Progress, from Isis to Rousseau, the
-author summarizes thus:

“The seventeen centuries of Christian-
ity, of Roman law, of Greek culture, of
Roman practical civilization, of,a, -
datity..<. -och’and expanding knowledge,
‘Jeft women far poorer in social value,
social work, social virtue, than they were
‘before all the complicated process called
civilization had begun.

“The dawn came when people began
‘to suggest that. women were quite as
‘reasonable by nature as men, and’ that

After that. came, ‘political emancipation

we can say that-the’ first is complete and
the" second almost ‘as far advanced ,as ‘it
is for individuals of the male sex. Very
recently woman has cdéme to be more of
a companion to her menfolk than ever
before in history.
“But there ‘still remained another sort
of emancipation, the emotional; which
had not until quite recently been so much
as* begun. By decreeing that the result
of a free emotional life should. be negli-
giblea,and momentary for a man, but
permanent and devastating fora woman,
nature made all talk of equality Between
the sexes: laughable. The opposition to
the taking public of that knowledge is
the ‘last and bitterest . battle waged by
man to keep woman in subjection.”
As to the future:

“The very nature of modern industry
and of town life are such that the family
relationship is bound to be destroyed as
far as its ‘essentials are concerned.”

_ The above: excerpts present skeleton-
ically the major contentions ef the “His-
tory.” The author is a thirty-year-old
newspaper: man and popular lecturer,
work in|
anthropology. As publicity the - book’
could scarcely be bettered; as science
every statement in it must be scrutinized
with, caution.
Another.-reason- 2c gaivation in accept-
ing Langdon-Davies’ conclusions is: his
passionate partizanship on certain issues
—for example his violent antipathy to
Christianity. When. he describes the
position of early Christian women as one
of unparalleled horror and despair, he:
tells more about his-own-emotional-com-
plexes than about the history of women.
Granted that the Hebrew myth of the
fall of man“ through womian, relayed by |
St. Paul, formed the rationalization
around which women’s subordination
was organized clear down through the
Victorian age; granted that the. glorifi-
cation of celibacy perverted often the

matters—still,- why: let these facts blind

crucial factor in her liberation; why not
admit, in the interests of sciehtific hon-
esty, that medieval education of women
was .initiated by the church, and_ that
the colleges in the United States—like
Oberlin and Mt. Holyoke—whick pio-
neered in opening higher education to
women, were founded by Christian sects
for religious purposes? Why. not exam-
ine the relative position of women. in
Africa, Turkey, India and China as com-
pared with that in modern Christendom?
Langdon-Davies’ proposition __ that
“worship of fertility” is a “safeguard
necessary to woman’s. happiriess” will not
stand critical examination. He argues
that ‘Christianity .brought in the arid
pastoral philosophy of the Hebrews, de-
stroying the beneficent..fertility..worship
of/other religions. George A. Barton,
. former professor ot “Biblical Literature}

Langdon-Davies would have difficulty
in ‘showing that .the conception of
womanhood developed in the religion of
the later Hebréw prophets was degraded
as compared with the conception devel-
oped inthe religions’ of contemporary
orgiastic cults in ‘Greece, He does not
attempt to defend as beautiful or as so-
cially constrictive the attitudes and prac-
tices associated with the revival~of fer-
tility worship in the witch cults of the
late middle ages ‘and early modern times.
He fails to advance evidence that the
modern liberation of women is related in
any way to worship of her powers of
fertility.

In ‘spite 6f such defects the: history
presented by lLangdon-Davies checks
fairly closely in many of its major points
with the impartial conclusions of more
dispassionate historians. It ‘is the in-

duced by the. book which constitutes its
great service. Progress is fundamentally
a problem in dynamics, and Davies is a
dynamo, génerating energy which may
produce explosions, biit which is certain
to add power to those seeking saner,
more creative, more lovely” relations
between men and women.

Yet his forecast “of what’ will happen
to the family in thé future fails to take
into-aceount the* most” significant factors
which he himself illustrates. He points
out’ that certain superstitions—like the
belief that women’s fertility. produced
magically abundant yields of grain—
tended to exalt the position of women;

feasts were added, and agricultural ele-|



‘superstitioris—like the belief that man
was cast out. of the Garden of Eden.be-|
cause woman tempted him to his fall—
tended- to debase her status: the vital
thing he fails to: emphasize is that at
Jong: last man is escaping with accelerat-.
ing’ speed from all his superstitions, and
is substituting intelligent control ‘of his}
own destiny. Davies’ own discussion is
founded on biological, ethnological, and
historical data which science has for the

first time made available during the past
century, and particularly during the past
few decades. Science has been busy
revolutionizing industry, comimerce and}.
medicine; now, for the first ‘:time,’ it
begins to. be available for. the revolution-
izing of sex relations, Why weep over
vanished fertility superstitions?

The motive of life is to function—such’
is ‘the assumption of Langdon-Davies—
including functioning industrially: func-
tioning physiologically, ‘functioning as
parents, and functioning. intellectually.
Thus far in human history the , . Qppor-
tunity for women to function in these
ways has been the chance plaything of
blind .forces—the Superior brute strength
af the male, the uncritical: acceptance of
certain Hebrew myths, the persistence of
the patriarchal family pattern, the indus-
trial revolution, the American frontier.
But now, at length, the development of
science, and the spread, of education,
begin to make available the systematic
intelligence which has enabled man. in-
creasingly Yo carry out his purposes with.
respect to steel, to electricity, to bacteria,
and to labor unions. Why deny.that this |,
“technique may enable men afd ‘women,
with unprecedented joyful success, ‘to
carry out and to enrich their purposes
with respect to one another?

~ having lost its ative culture, was with
out a world culture; a kind of hateful
- boyhood = was imposed on the people.
| Whereas: in the eighteenth century even
, the farmers sometimes wrote lovely verse,
in the nineteenth nothing was left but'a
kind of animal vitality, such as appears
_in the novels and ballads of thie time.
But tow ards the end of the nineteenth
century, with the “publication of Standish
O’Grady’s “Bardic History of Ireland,”

a collection of the old Gaelic traditions

: and legends, | the river. of rationality

Ireland: had been like a
desert wanting a “shower.

“emerged again.
Now it was
watered with one lovely image after an-
other of the old divinities of sun and
rain and earth, of heroes compounded of

- fiery and gentleness, of beautiful -legen-

dary queens. Phe old ideas ehitered into

_the minds of Arish youth, and there took
- on a new life.

To illustrate the éffect of ‘uc re-
covered traditions on himself, Mr. Rus-

sell quoted a passage about the moun-

tains in the county where he was born,
which, he had first read in his boyhood.
(Mr. Russell illustrated his whole lec-
ture with quotations, impossible to repeat
here, but spoken with great effect. He
recited all but one from memory,. inton-

_ ing them in the Irish manner, a kind of

soft sing- -song). Mr. O'Grady, he "went

book had had till one day, at a fashion-

Joyce, the supreme realist.. But in his
boyhood, when Mr. Russell first met
him, he was a romantic, trying -to raise
up a gtoup of avatars on earth.. 4With
lofty .arroga®, he Admitted the excel-
lence of a few of the lyrics by AB, but
insisted, that Yeats had gone over. to the
rabble. Later, when Yeats and Joyce
-}-met, Joyce said sadly :
late; you 're too sd for me to have any
effect upon you.” nS

At’ nineteen, James Joyce wrote loyely
verse, but sirice then he has written none.
Perceiving the apés and rats in the ‘el-
lar of human consciousness, he felt per-
haps-that he must grapple. first with
them before he could turn to beauty., But
lt has said of his Ulysses’, You have
only seen the Inferno, The Purgatorio
and the’ Paradiso are still to come; so
he may yet write the great master piece
of modern literature.

Moore Joins. Revival.

When George Moore, who was, living
in London, heard that there was a lit-
erary revival’ going on in Ireland, he
came over to take part in it. There, for
seven years, he kept. his friends in a
constant state of amusement, for he lived
under the necessity of having his Tife a

weeks he ‘dismissed six cooks.” In a
eae » Widtipmetriotism he painted. his hall
door green, and when. the neighbors,
whose hall doors were a pure white, com-
plained. to the landlord, “he wrote: the
latter a circular letter, which he sent

cycles past my hall door which they

which at the tight tmoment might step
over and conquer England. Besides an
infallible instinct for the heroic and the
beautiful, he had a sense of humor. He
used to tell about a socialist meeting at
the home of the poet William Morris.
O’Grady, ‘at. Morris’s request, asked a
question. “Now I call that a very sensi-
ble question,” said Morris, “And I call
it a damn silly question,” growled a voice
from the back row. “Well, I think it
was, an extremely sensible question,” re-

ted Morris—and two hours later they

Yeats a Beautiful Boy.

When he was sixteen Mr. Russell met
the poet William Butler Yeats. At that
time Yeats was on fire with the two cur-
rents of Gaelic culture and_ oriental
He was a very beautiful
he told all
sorts of remarkable stories about the
founders of the Theosophical Society,
and” practiced magic ardently. Just as
the young English poet. Shelley, tried to
raise the devil, remarked Mr. Russell, so
the young Irishman sought to evoke the
gods. But he treated them somewhat
light- heartedly, breaking off a solemn

a charming elfish humor -and beauty:
Now, when he is a famous and distin-

Little, a Most Passionate Poet.

“At about the same time, Mr Russell
said, spiritual gravitation drew him to
meet Philip Francis Little, the most pas-
sionate of all the young poets of the time
in his effort to make the outer world
harmonize with the inner. His pious
family were quite taken aback by their
son’s literal acceptance of their teach-
ings. Like a young St. Francis he gave
his best clothes to a beggar. Believing
that the young Russell was in sympathy
with. him, he proposed that “they should
live together in an overturned truck, near

the docks, teaching the people and doing

Russell’s complaining of the mock humil-
ity of some mediaeval saint, Little cried

out in the middle of a crowded street:
“There. shall be a. great fire hereafter,
rejoicing over your burning.”

legends, and got them acted in the coun-
try districts, dressing the peasants. up to
act the parts. So that it: was said she
carried antiquity around in a little black
bag. Mr. Russell spoke one of her poems
about her childhood.
Dunsany an Anomaly.

Lord Dunsany, whom Mr, Russell also
knew, that anomaly, an Irishman un-
aware that he has a country. He seems
to régard the universe as a mere ex-
crescence on his ‘imagination. In his
youth in his ancestral castle he lived in
a remote world of his own, of_ which’ he
used to draw marvelous maps. He had
a great gift for drawing, and for mytho-

: logical invention, which ‘he combined in

pictures of the Punishments ot: Hell, or
of a man’ '§ sins finding , him out.

AE. and Shaw Meet.

“In the National Gallery -in Dublin one
day Mr. Russell met a man whom he
at first took to be a retired civil servant;
he-conversed with him intimately for two
hours without knowing. who he was. This
man turned out to be George Bernard
Shaw. , Shaw, according to Mr. Russell,
is one of the most real and genuine
angels ‘now incarnate; he beats a brass
band around himself to hide a gentle and
suffering soul. .Mrs. Shaw, it appears,
thinks $0 too.

Two poets who,are better known as
Irish patriots who gave their lives for
tagir country were Thomas MacDonagh
and Padriac Pearse. Mr. Russell thinks
that men who are (destined to be pivotal
in their*country’s history have a kind of
mystic prevision of their fate. MacDon-
agh used to have a vision-of a star and
a cup’ ‘the star, he said, Was liberty, and
the cup was death. His beautiful poem,
shows how hard it was
for him to sacrifice his art and his per-
sonal fame to the service of his country.

Immeasurable Realities Must Be

“Would that ‘we might find God’
the’ age-old plea of mankind,” said oe

Mather on Thursday evening, “Modern
college-trained youth phrase it differ-
they, say ‘Is theré.a God?’”
Primitive people pelieve in animism
and think that each® inanimate object is
animated by a. spirit, usually evil. Be-
fore long people discover that they’ are
in.a wotld of law and order, and: then

this stage one supreme God ‘4s believed
in;-a god who manufactured ‘the earth
and, peopl remote: placetand rested from his labor.
When He wishes He can stoop down
from this high plane and make an ad-
justment--in—the machinery... Thus, for
believers in deism, “God wills. it” ‘was a
sufficient explanation for anything.

Science and Philosophy Create Doubts.

reported that telescopi¢ investigation

dwell. This means no outside interfer-
The world was truly a place of
law and order, where nothing occurred
without a cattse and that cause was al-
ways within the universe . Philosophy
also leads to doubt concerning the cor-
rectness of the deism answer. Philoso-
phers ask why the All-powerful, All-
loving, All-wise God on high permits
gnillions to be slain in warfare. Ninety
per cent”of modern atheism is not athe-
ism at—all but merely’ rebellion against
deism,; “a new distrust’ of that~ ancient

The English and History Departments

is clear that if changes were to be made
suddenly and completely in salaries or
in hours of instruction, we cotild not
pay’ the: bills.” Miss Park went on to
explain that what in the individual case
would -be no increase at all, would, in
the aggregate, mount up to a great deal.

In the interim until a sufficient endow-
ment is accumulated, some plan -must

_| be. formulatedy which, will allow Bryp
.| Mawr to keep up, her academic standard.

According to’ Miss Park the “Charac-
teristics of this interim plan are set. It
cannot be expensive. [t must leadwith-
out readjustment into a final plan based
—to put it hopefully—on a large increase
of funds. Afid finally, its two parts. must

professors; just how the Departments
and individuals are to benefit have not

Non-Unions Have Advantages.
The report points out that the’ non-

coal, a low wage rate and favorable
freight rates, now dominate the market.
Before 1922 70 per, cent. of the bitumi-
nous coal mined was the product of union
mines. -The percentage now, due to the

intense competition, is only thirty. Ir}

was on account of this that the q@wners
abrogated the Jaceonvite agreement.

and has been samen ihe great sane
ness on both sides, greatly intensified by
two factors._“The operators regard the
men as wilfully unreasonable in refusing
reduction of wages,” asthe present scale
means ruin for. many operators. The

* |tremely low scale of living prevalent

among the Southern mines.

Méanwhile conditions are intolerable.
Strike breakers have been introduced, and
the’ strikers in many cases evicted, from
their homes to make way for them. For
those who have no place to go, the United,
Mine Workers have erected barracks of |

Second Varsity Game Tied,:

‘Playing a Poor Farce|.

The Second .Varsity game ‘with the
Saturday Morning Club’ was a most
terrific chaos, a burlesque of basketball,
a—a—our imagination fails us, It ended
with a tie score of 18-18 which was too
perfect a climax to’the affair to be quite
real. In the first place only three mem-
bers of the Saturday. Morning Club ever
showed up and. three obliging members
of the Germantown team had- to double,

was ‘moderately amusing. We were
tired ‘of laughing in the second half and
became excessively -bored. If we had
been Robert. Benchley we should have
left after the first act, but not being that

privileges we stuck it out to the end.
We judge it kinder. not to give any de-
tails of the performance. The long-
suffering line-up was:

Second Varsity—B. Humphreys, ’29;
E. Boyd, ’29; C. Thompson,. ’31; F.
