when she tried to bunt a ball and Rice
“was put out when Parker neatly caught
a long hard hit.
Fieser was the hero of the Seventh,
making a home ruii with the bases full
and two out. This forced the score up
to 28-19. oe
In the eighth inning the Faculty
weren't taking any chances with the
heavy hitters and passed Seeley, Bruere,
and Kellogg on balls. The rest of this
inning provided no excitement, but
brought the score up to 31-22.,
Only one-half of thegninth inning was
played as by this time the Kaculty had
‘won the game.
Carey made several brilliant stops at
second, while Hitchcock could be counted
on for hard hits.
Throughout the game Seeley, Kellogg.
and Palache relieved each other in the
pitchers’ box. In the last inning C.
Parker, ’29, substitiited for Woodward
and H. Taylor, ’30, for M. L. Jones,
who was playing for the Faeulty.

Newspaper Service at
Students are urged to take advantage
of the opportunity, to write. which is af-
forded by the United Feature Syindicate
of New York, an organization’ owned
and operated by the ! United ‘Press As-
sociations, which’ proposes an’ Interna-
tional Newspaper Sérvicé by’ student
writers here and abroad.
The purpose of this ‘service is to give
the younger generation a chance to ex-
press its gratitude toward its world. As
this is to be a youthful undertaking ex-
clusively, these artieles will be judged by
a board of students who will decide
which ones metit publication, these to
be sent in to the syndicate. This is an
especially good time of the year to send
in contributions because, due to the mul-
“titude of things which always crowd into
the last few weeks~of the school year,
few articles are being handed in.
Only material which is good news-
paper copy and is written on*a subject
of general interest will be accepted. Car-
toons. which tell a story or make a
point are just as useful as. articles and
are solicited. Both articles and cartoons
will be paid for, one-third of the gross
: proceeds from the sale of the service to
_ go to the student writers, being divided
equally between the four or five con-
tributors, whose articles have been ac-|
cepted for publication, one-third to de-
augural address, is designed to recognize
couragement for academic irfterest, .and
to prevent that interest from being dis-
couraged by aSsoefation with mediocrity.

Wellesley Makes Survey
of College Curriculum
A study of the curriculum as it has
been worked out by the other darge
women’s colleges, _gempared - in detail
with the present’ curriculum at Welles-
ley, discloses interesting points of vari-
ance. Three of the colleges whose cur-
ricufum has attracted our attention,
Vassar, Barnard and Smith, are ‘already
working out the group system, but in
each ‘case it is a different grouping of
subjects, and the student: is granted
varying degrees of option in her selec-
tion from the groups. Vassar and Bar-
nard each requires of all students Eng-
lish Composition, Spoken English, Hy-
giené and Physical Education, but these
are >the only subjects in the catalogue for
which no alternative may be offered.
3ryn Mawr, which does not use the
group system, differs from Wellesley in
requiring a reading knowledge of French
and German for the Bachelor of Arts
degree. Also the following subjects are
required: Greek or Latin, six semester
hours; English, 12\ semester hours;
Philosophy and Pscychology, each four
semester hours, and ‘10 hours of sci-
ences, ( Bryn, Mawr courses frequently,
meet five times a week, it must be re-
membered.) Fifty semester hours of the
major subject. and allied coursés are re-
quired of eath student. ‘
‘Mount Holyoke is the one other large
college which places emphasis upon a’
Bible course, yet even there it is not
without an alternative. The definitely re-
quired subjects are English, | Spoken
English and a year of French, or Ger-
man, which may be met by examination.
The student is then free to choose seven
out’ of the eight following groups: Bib-
lical Literature, Chemistry or Physics,
English Literature, Greek or Latin, His-
tory, Mathematics, Philosophy and Psy-
chology. and another science, either
Astronomy, Botany, Geology, Physiolo-
gy, or Zoology. The college bulletin, in
a statement of policy prefixed to the pre-
scribed list of courses, justifies the re-
quired courses by saying that basic
courses in fundamental and representa-
tive _subjectsaccomplish..the..orientation
of the students’ thinking, and aid in the
choice of major and minor subjects.
Vassar agrees with the other colleges
in not requiring mathematics, but has its
own individual plan of prescribing one
year of European history. A Vassar
student is free to elect five subjects from
five of the following six grotips: classi-
cal literature, modern foreign literature,
third foreign language, mathematics,
chemistry or physics, and lastly, the re-
maining sciences. t
Barnard. has the groupings of subjects
narrowed down to the smallest number,
allowing ‘the student to choose from the
three large groups :—I. Languages, liter-
ature and other fine arts. II. Mathematics
and the fatural science III. The so-
cial sciences. The number of groups in
the Smith curriculum has been reduced
from ten to four, subjects falling under
the group divisions of languages, litera-
ture and fine arts, sciences and social
sciences,—Wellesley News.
Point of Juncture Found |
Although the student bodies of Har-
vard ang Princeton have been separated
on the athletic field, they are now to be
united in the field-of art. A joint pub-
lication, “Art Studies,” will be produced
through a grant of $7500 provided by a
Harvard graduate.
‘The donor desires to have his gift
emphasize the fact “that friendly rela-
tions between great universities should
be thought of in terms of co-operative
scholarship rather than in the over-em-
Phasized field of intercollegiate athlet-
ics. ae hs Stanford sen :

Bryn Mawr wear bachelors’ gowns and
yellow and white hoods. hs
Caps are worn by candidates for de-
grees with the tassel on the right; by
bolders with the tassel on the left. While.
the degree is being conferred the cap
is not worn.
Women Too Distracting
“Of course many of our students be-
came engaged on the voyage,” said Mrs.
P. M. Fogg, Dean of Women’ on the
Holland-American liner “Ryndam,” first
American co-educational floating uni-
versity, which recently docked in New
York after a seven months’ tour of the
world. “It was only a perfect natural
outgrowth of propinquity and attach-
ments formed during the trip. But
aside from this—or better, including
this—I can state quite positively that the
co-educational aspect of the cruise was
a success in every way.”
The second world tour, which will be-
gin in September, will not be co-educa-
tional, however. Dr. James Lough, Dean
of Men, stated that the girls provide
something of a. distraction on a long
cruise, and that it was rather difficult
to find proper accommodations for the
girl’ students on the field excursions.—
