Varsity Loses But Shows
Improvement in Game
' Although the hockey game with
Merion Cricket Club on Saturday, Oc-
tober 26, resulted in a 2-4 defeat for
Varsity, the Bryn Mawr team showed
a remarkable gain over their playing
of the previous week. There were a
number of radical changes ‘in the line-
up, and the forwad ‘line in particular
gained in speed and strength; Blan-
chard played in her last year’s position
at left wing, and recovered the dodging
and hard shooting which have always
made her a strong point of the Bryn
Mawr attack. Longstreth shifted to
center to take Blanchard’s place, and
although Sall¥ is more effective in her
_own-place“as-inner, the change resulted
in a gain for Varsity. Longacre, a
freshman, was. thus brought into the
~ game, and she proved.to be the fastest
~and pluckiest of the forwards. Her en-
thusiasm and speed dominated the
game, and ‘held the entire line to a
higher level than they reached at all
last week. Unfortunately her passes
and dodges were poorly directed, so
that what she won by good dribbling
and persistent tackling back, she lost
by ineffective shots. With practice in
teamwork and _ passing, Longacre
~~ should rise above mere good fighting
and become an aid in scoring for Var-
sify.
“The backs were as reliable as usual,

and more on the attack than last week.

berg's game was, if possible, better

combination of speed, excellent drib-
bling, and well-distributed shooting,
cannot be emulated as “yet by any of
the forwards.

had to be filled by Hirschberg alone,

“There are 120 freshmen this year,

“To sum up; about three-fifths of the

Miss Gertrude Ely, who has recently

threes weeks which‘she spent at the
Tenth Assembly of the League of Na-

"Fo Miss ‘Ely, the most encouraging
and outstanding impression of her visit,
was the fact that the League seems ‘to
be so very well established. It has
decidedly taken on the appearance of
an institution which is in good working
order, and there is no more-of~the
feeling thatghings will be done, “if only

fantasy in which the extremely active

The second part of the program
contained several short numbers, most

series of poses arranged after the man-

as the most artistic and graceful of

- OLD PHILADELPHIA
In adopting a city as the centre
of our interests for four years, we
are quick to find its shopping dis-
tricts and its theatres. We learn its
railroad and’ taxi system, its hair-
dressers and its tea rooms. And
to some extent we become vaguely
aware of its history. We realize
that there is an Independence Hall,"
even if we never go down Chestnut
‘Street to find it, and we rather en-
William Penn’s plan of nam-
streets by trees. One of the
most fascinating gafnes in a new
city is to make this background of
history definite, to prowl about old
streets and discover the facts of a
civilization that has changed many
tires in comparatively. few years.
It is with a view to suggesting a
few of Philadelphia’s Revolution-
ary rendezvous that THe News is

GOODHART |
‘With the beginning of the Bryn
Mawr series and the first produc-
tion of the revivéd “Players” the
imperative needs of Goodhart Hall
impress themselves forcibly. upon
our attention. The popularity of
the series is the evident proof of
the interest which the college and
faculty and’ friends of the college
take in the possibilities of Good-
hart. These possibilities are great
and were it not for certain serious
handicaps could be almost limitless.
Goodhart is an auditorium: of which
any college would’ be proud. And
we are, which is all the more rea-
son why we regret and are even
humiliated by its several eeiet de-
fects.

system is highly inadequate. The
system which was put in two years
ago, from ignorance or whatever
the reason, is twenty years out of
date. We have now border lights
with single bulbs. The stage is six
feet from the. footlights and the
nearest border two feet.
system it is “impossible to decrease
the size of, the stage as could be
done with a box system:» A box:
system, besides this .advantage, -is
much more effective and lasts twice
as long, althougli it is no more ex-
| pensivethan the “border “system.
Furthermore we have no_ spot
lights, which seems incredible. Last‘
came to Bryn Mawr they found it
necessary to bring almost —a_truck
load of lighting equipment. This
included, besides wiring, etc., about
twenty “baby spots” and a number
of. large spots.
venience and better results we also
need a means of lighting from the
proscenium arch:
is already present, but nothing has
been done. to make the connections.
It is, therefore, no fault of the
stage manager if the lighting seems
defective. The fault lies in our
antiquated border system where a
box system should be.
The stage in Goodhart is as, large
phia. But there are times’ when a
smaller stage~is necessary, and at
present this is impossible, not only
because of the lighting, but for a
reason almost as. serious. The
batons are now of one length only
and side-drops cannot be put up
except by hand. To remedy this
we need a pulley’ system with
batons of different lengths.
sity Dramatics is willing to make
paniee usually bring theirs, but
without sufficient mechanism for
adjusting it, the ensuing difficulties
are inconvenient and detract seri-
ously from the effectiveness of the
result.
But the most serious and the
most mortifying defect lies in the
‘problem of ‘acoustics. We -have
often heard it, whispered that Bryn
Mawr girls disregard voice: This
is not so. . When the Hedgerow
Players came here they were both
alarmed and horrified. The lofty
Gothic arches, which are so lovely
to look upon, swallow upcthe: sound,
as does all the waste space about the
stage, for exaniple, the alcove in-
tended for an organ. Furthermore
the ‘stage is ‘not built so as to throw
the sound forward.- This is a dif-
ficulty the most . perfect human
voice Cannot overcome. -Many sug-
gestions have been offered, but the
only real solution is to call in an
acoustics expert. It is most prob-
able that he could suggest a com-
paratively. simple remedy.
It is a disappointment that Good-
hart was built with these defects.
‘But we, all want to see and, above
all, to hear, in which respects we
are now far behind other colleges.
We advocate, therefore, that any
available funds be directed toward
the improvement of Goodhart, and

News From Other ‘Colleges
Princeton. Scorns. Brains
Intelligence is just about the last thing
a Princeton freshman likes to find in a
girl, if any generalization can. be drawn
from a ‘vote recently taken among the
four hundred and ninety freshmen here.
The vote also indicated that, to the mass
mind, constancy was a rather trivial
consideration, and that if a girl was beau-
tiful or if she was a good dancer or a
ready conversationalist she could be a
nitwit for all it mattered to the majority
of the first-year men.
The freshmen were asked to name
“the most essential quality inthe ideal
girl.” Seventy-four, the largest number
ta agree on any single quality, decided
that ‘the one most essential was “physical
beauty.” Sixty-five, less esthetically | in-
clined, .voted for “personality.” The
third highest vote, forty-five, went to
“ability to dance well.” “Good sense and
humor” appealed to thirty-four of the
youthful Princetonians as most essential.
Thirty-one favored an “interesting
conversationalist.” Ph ramioee comme. in

are at all interested in history or in
Revolutionary architecture; you _ will
certainly wish to explore the House of
Worship of Washington and Franklin.
As‘ the city encroached upon the Arch
Street. district,
church scattered to more pleasant, resi-
dential districts, making way for the
small business which clutters the ap-
proach to the building. Great pride,
however, was taken in the church~be-
cause of its beautiful structure and its
history, and its supporters have been
most careful in its upkeep. Every
effort: has been made to. preserve its
appearance. of.age without aHowing it
to deteriorate.
The red brick of the exterior has
grown dark with weathering, and the
inscriptions on the vaults of the court-.
yard have sunk into the grayness of
the stone. Thesi ivy has grown over
the graves on the north side, where
occasional. flags mark the tombs of
Revolutionary heroes. The great | win-
dows, left walled up. originally to” save
the expense of glass, have been un-
t@iched” by later generations. No
change has been made in the building
of 1727 except for the addition of the
simple white spire and its bells under
a committee in 1754 on which Franklin
served. The church,:as it now stands,
is a striking example of Georgian ar-
chitecture.
‘If the °exterior has been carefully
guarded in the aging process, the in-
terior has fared as well. The “Colonial
yellow” of aging paint, the beautiful
white panelling, the remarkable iron
strap hinges all tell of the pride of the
present Philadelphians in the house
where the officials of the Government
worshipped from 1790 to 1797. The
old box pews with their high backs are
gone, but the seats of Washington,
Adams, Franklin, Betsy Ross and a

been put in, historical and Biblical in

Book Review —
Hans Frost
Hugh Walpole (Doubleday Dorat.)
The most emphatic point made in the
advertisements. anent :
Hans Frost is the fact that it is set in
the same background as that used for
The Dichess of Wrexe and Wintets-
moon.
‘read neither of .the aforementioned un-
doubted masterpieces. However, we do
bring forth the criticism that "to em-
phasize such a point in a novel which
leaves one with little (if any) feeling
about backgrounds, is an aimless and
non-constructive kind of advertising.
To our critical mind, it seems that
character .and personality’ are the key-
notes of the book. The players are set
off against one another in order to em-
phasize their types of mind, their types
of body, and their very own reactions to
everything in the least objective. Only
Hans is regarded with a _ mentionable
amount of subjective interest, and we
find that: those moments of-his. introspec-
tion seem to reflect his eompany manner
too exactly-to paint an interesting dual
personality. Hans .was surely made .a
great novelist so that he might speak
the verbose idealism which even Walpole
would fear to put into the mouths of his
lay heroes. It is always well expressed
idealism, but the seasoning of sentiment,
as .a rule, makes its expression quite too
bookish to ring true.
Hans is the one character who is fully
developed. Ruth, his wife, always gives
one the-impression of an artlessly domi-
her little. Nathalie, her niece and our
heroine, is supposedly a modern: girl who
wants ‘to be independent; since we’ see
her only through Hans’ eyes, it is ex-
Viadimnir, her Russian lover, is typically
‘described by Hans, “A. grandee of Spain.
A school-boy, 4 nice, handsome young
man, a Russian philosopher, a scamp, the
son of.a parson, a showman, a student,
an ardent but unfaithful lover, an escetic
idealist; a play-actor.”” To the reader he
remains -utterly unreal.
| Sentiment’ is the outergarment _ of
everything put into the book; it also ex-
plains a ‘good many inconsistencies of
character. ‘Hans is forever feeling re-
juvenated (he is actually over seventy)
when he believes ‘that he can be of serv-
ice to his Nathalie. When he becomes
so young and active that his perform-
ances are more than paradoxical, in step
Walpole and Sentiment. Hans suddenly
becomes very, very old, and he feels the
old twinge in his left leg. He-looks to
Martha, his understanding dog; he ai-
Plows her to rest her head upon his shoe
and to look up into his eyes; he thinks
of his purely paternal love for his niece,
and he realizes that this love must be
immortal. It is -all very beautifully
painted for the gullibly romantic, but,
unfortunately, it does seem to slur over
the bald spots of character. portrayal.
Throughout the book Hans awaits the
arrival of The One-Eyed Commander.
We first hear of. Him when we are one
for his peasy -writing, and who, at ex-
actly the right moment, turns upon him
and shouts, “Now, begin!’ It seems that
all the events of the novel are assembled
by the One-Eyed Commander in such a
way as to force another magnus opus
upon our hero. We catch’ our last
glimpse of him.as he has. cut himself off
from all the world, and as, revelling in
his new-found freédom, he sits himself
down in his little white room, and “then
his pen moves swiftly.”
Despite some very nice passages, we
had the distinét feeling that Hans Frost
is not up to the best Walpole standards.
Perhaps, however, we ar@ in too umsen-
timental a mood :to accord it» the ful!
praise ‘that it-should have. It is, not
hard-to read:- glance through it, and

hours itt Which ‘we have nothing to do.
Reflects Outside World
“Clearly enough, this kind of atmos-
phere: is a reflection of the outside world.
‘Professor Lowes has ‘well described it in
a delightful article in a ‘recent Saturday
Review: ‘We live in an age and a land
‘above all things marked ‘by hurried mo-
tion.. I happened to come from Pitts-
burgh to New York the -other day, at
the rate of fifty miles an hour. Every
few minutes-another train flashed by in
the opposite direction; On a hundred
thousand miles of rails the same .flying
shuttles were hurtling back and forth.
The taxi which took me from one sta-
tion to another in New York was num-
bered . one million seven hun-
dred thousand and’ odd, and the other
million or so were trying simultaneously
to hurl themselves along the streets. And
under the street, packed.trains, a couple
of minutes or so apart, were crashing
back and forth in the-din of steel on
steel flung back from walls of stone.’
“What happens to us? . Here there
is no din of steel on steel. The only
-. sounds our walls’ of stone fling back
are the thud of our feet and the echo of
our own voices. Why: should the feet
thunder and ‘the voices be raucous, when
the fountain is: playing in the cloister and
the ivy flames from the tower, and the
New Book Room lies quiet. behind _its
leaded panes?
“It is because we have not wit enough
to do what we _really~want-to-do:“"We
cannot resist the contagion of. the world
outside and of our fellows, who, in turn
are inflicted by us. As: William James
puts it: ‘The American over-tension and
jerkiness and breathlessness and inten-!
sity, are primarily social phe-
nomena. They. are -bad “habits
bred of custom and example.’
“ “The result of all this is that we
rarely ‘read a book outside our work,
seldom look at a paper, and almost never
talk about anything interesting. We haye
frayed our nerves to ‘nothing at all, and
the most,we can rise to is gossip. ‘One
of the consequences of this modern mal-
ady of ours,’ writes Mr. Lowes, ‘is that
the gracious things which lend to life and’
human intercourse the beauty of serenity
and comeliness, are gone or on the ware.’
Further along in his article, Professor
Lowes quotes: ‘John -Wesley’s conversa-
said Dr: Johnson. to Bos-
well once, ‘but he is never at leisure.
He is always obliged to go at a certain
hour. This is very disagreeable to a
man who loves to fold his legs and have
out his talk as I do.’
Remedy Within Ourselves
“The conclusion to all this*is obvious.
' The trouble is of our own making and
if we wish to we can get out of it. We
can refuse to be dragged along with a
howling mob, .and_.cay..male--os..daily.|
routine a quiet one. We can take papers
and read them and stop shrieking at one
another. We can develop languid per-
sonalities, buy ourselves copper kettles,
tea sets, and China tea. ‘Oh that I could
live up-to’ my blue china,’ was Oscar
Wilde’s cry, ridiculed often by contem-
poraries and by a ribald posterity. Yet
we could’ do far worse than to: cultivate
personalities which ‘reflect’ the gracious-
ness. of beautiful china,;’
Apropos of all this, Miss Carey related
how -Miss Thomas. used to tell students
that she never allowed a day to pass
without devoting half an. hour of it to
reading solely for her own interest. Each
of us should set apart a certain amount
of-time in the day for reading-outside-
thus we would gain extra-
curricular knowledge and also could
form a habit that would be of much ad-
vantage to us through our lives.
With a quotation from Boswell's Life
of Johnson, Miss Carey coneluded her
speech: “But, Sir,” says Boswell to Dr.
Johnson, “the mind must be employed,
and we grow weary when idle.
“That is, Sir, because others being
busy we want company; but if we were
idle, there, would, be no growing weary:
“we should all entertain one another.” |

‘ purview of the League, but which was
‘nevertheless inspired by it, because the
man who conceived the idea which
secured the approval of so many ‘peo-
ples could say that he got this idea
cause of his insistent co-operation with
‘League that he learned the necessity of
looking for all possible means of doing
away with war.”
A United Europe..
In the same speech M. Briand ad-
vanced his suggestion of a United
States of Europe. “I do think that
where you have a group of peoples,
grouped together geographically in Eu-
rope, there ought to be some federal
link between them. They must. have
means among themselves of discussing
any problems which ate of general in-
terest and of establishing the. general
solidarity of Europe in order that they
may know where they stand if really
serious difficulties arise.
necting link which I desire-to establish,
ponent of that link will be economic
agreement, and I believe that in the
economic sphere agreement can _ be
reached. But also there should be a
political and social link, -which, ‘of
course, would in no way affect the
sovereignty of the-parties involved. I
shall therefore take this opportunity ef
asking the various representatives. of
European states at this “Assembly
whether they will. not unofficially. con-
sider and study this question in order
that at the next Assembly. we may .be
in a position possibly to translate it into
reality.” This proposal of M. Briand’s
was met with very serious considera-
tion, both on the part of later speakers
and in the committee meetings. t
Miss Ely remarked that the quality
of the delegates from the countries
seemed to be superior eyen to what it
had been in previoug years. She es-
peciafly felt that the English Labor
delegates were ‘exceptionally remark-
able, both for their enthusiastic entry
into the spirj ‘of the League, and for
the frank attitude with which they ap-
‘proached all the questions that were
raised. The small. countries, as a whole,
still feel that they are being a bit- mis-
treated, and not given the same notice
as the larger members of the League.
However, it is hoped that this difficulty
may soon be eradicated. , Count Berns-
dorff’s attitude to all these petty jeal-
ousies and difficulties was that there
will soon be neither colonies. nor man-

New. League Building.
The laying of the foundation stone
for the new League building, this: sum-
mer,” was. also-symbotically important:
The League, once considered by: so
many people asa mere castle in the
air, was actually housing itself in an-
other large and very solid and un-
mansien ‘of hard stone.
There was,no trouble in raising money
‘for this néw structure. Each nation
was, more than willing to contribute
its share. , :
Last, but surely not least, Miss Ely
pointed out the fact that both Strése-
mann and Briand had stressed the im-
portance of the younger geheration in
the further development of the League |
of Nations and all it stands for. The
French representative expressed this
feeling very well, “When children are
taught peace in school, when they are
taught to respect other nations, when
that which unites rather than that
which divides the peoples of the world
necessary for us to measure the vari-
ous proportional doses of security and
to consider the carrying into force of
the Articles of the Covenant, because
peace will then reign among the na-
tions of the world.”
Stresemann elaborated and developed
the theme, and closed his address with
the following words, “The relations of
the peoples with each other are not as
yet satisfactory as we hope they will
be in thé future; -There are: still con-
trasts, there are still differences. It is!

both college graduates or both with
* several years of college training and
are ‘hopefully sending their daughters
back to college. (Fifteen alumnae, of
Bryn Mawr are showing this confi-
dence); in. about the same number of
families, i. e., one-fourth, neither father
nor mother has had a college degree or
college training, but they too are hope-
» fully sending . their daughters to col-
lege; and in a middle position are 61]
families where the father is a ‘college

the mother has neither, and four fam-
ilies ‘in which the reverse is ‘the case.
It seems ‘at first as though many argu-
ments can be drawn from this, all fa-
vorable to supporters of formal train- |
ing for women beyond the. age . of
eighteen, but no data are available for |<
comparison which would show us why,
other parents of the same three types
are not sending daughters to. college.

twenty-two Presbyterian, and the rest
scatter among ten other denominations
with eleven, either families or fresh-

sect to whom we owe Bryn Mawr it-
self.

“Elevén were still 16 when they en-.
tered Bryn Mawr; fifty-two were 16 or
in other words slightly less’ than
half the class are under 18. The aver-
age age, however, is slightly higher
this year than usual. It always hangs
suspended between eighteen, and nine-
teen but the
gone up-with this class to 18 years 9
months, Seven of the twenty youngest
girls entered with a credit average; and
only two’ of the twenty. oldest—a fact
which confirms. previous records at
- Bryn Mawr and elsewhere.:
“The most striking figure of the ‘year
is the number prepared by public
schools. This -has doubled—-changed
from about one-tenth of the class. to
about one-fifth, and it would be in-
treased to one-fourth of the class if
we added those whose preparation had
been partly in public schools.
“The office record gives credit to the
school which has given the last two
years. of training; these two yéars are
often, naturally, divided between two

final score of 4 is a credit not only to
the backs, but to Anna Parkhurstwh
as goal, proved calm~ and: efficient, her
kicking and clearing saving Bryn Mawr
from a much greater defeat.
After the, discouraging game of a
week ago, the conting up of Varsity
and especially of the forwards, was
spectacular. Speed and enthusiasm
were. gained and team-work appeared
in the embryo. If our prophecy last
week was hopeful, the Merion game
makes us optimistic.
