MEDITATION COUNT

Bishop Stearly Traces the
Growth of Requisites for
Joining Church.

A CHRIST WILL RESPOND

“The word ‘salvation’ is one frequently
cohnected with religion,” said the Right



Reverend Wilson R. Stearly, Bishop
Goadjutor of New Jersey, speaking in
‘Chapel on Sunday, February 6. “‘Sal-

vation’ has meant many different things
throughout the ages, but now it has
come to mean to us chiefly ‘renunciation’
‘meditatian’.”

The Bishop explained that once a de-
scription of emotional religious
experience was a prerequisite to joining
the church. -In the Age-of the Refor-
mation knowledge of religion “and the
Bible. became the measure and the vari-
ous “Confessions of Faith,” ending in
the thirty-nine Articles, were the result.
Then there is the Abou ben Adem sort
of feeling, which puts philanthropy at
the top.

Two Methods of Salvation.

“It seems at present,” the Bishop con-
tinued, “that there are two important
ways in which a person can be saved.
The first of these is by Renunciation.
The old reformers who wrote the Cate-
chism thought it was necessary for us
to ‘renounce the devil and all his works,
the pomps and vanities of this wicked
world, and all the sinful lusts of the
flesh’ They realized that renunciation
is necessary for us, for two reasons.
First, we must learn to choose between
the elevating and degrading influences

' that surround us in the world, and sec-

ond, the character of a man’s own per-
sonality is a quality to be reckoned with.”

The second prerequisite for salvation
is the mystic quality of meditation. @he
mass of people are strangers to medita-

$40,000 MORE LATER ON

(Specially contributed by Nina
a Pevera, 88.)

To avoid mistinderstanding; the Bryrf]
Mawr Art Club wishes to announce the
purpose -of its present campaign. We
are raising a fund to help support art
classes; not to provide free instruction,
but to make possible the existence of a
course in drawing and painting. Stu-
dents will continue to pay fees; how-
ever they cannot. continue to pay all
expenses.

The fees of the members of the Extra-
curriculum Practical “Art Class will sup-
plement the $2000 which will be the
income from $40,000, the sum to be
raised by the campaign. After this ob-
jective has been reached, we shall con-
‘inue to enlarge the fund for the purpose
of establishing a class in ‘the technique
of the Old Masters.” » Conducted by the
History of Art Department, this would
be comparable to courses in the Music
Department on theory and, harmony.
Another $46:000-svould-have to be added
to the fund to provide the income for
this class.. The chief, purpose of the
Art Club is to raise this fund and to
share in the management of the Extra-
curriculum Practical Art Class.

We realize thaf‘ ‘it is no easy task to
raise $80,000. The need for, «art has
arisen among undergraduates. Our ap-

MOTORING AFTER DARK
APPROVED BY STUDENTS

Self-Government States Views
Chaperonage.

The chaperonage questions were dis-
cussed in the. Self- es, meeting
held January 12, and a commi
elected to frame the new rules peaniting





on

ng. This committee has been working
over the resolutions, and in discussions
by itself, and with Miss Park, has
changed some of the ideas; it will prob-
ably have the resolutions ready to pre-
sent to the association next Wednesday.

The association decided that the rules
for closing the halls, and for spending
nights away from college should remain
the same. A slight change was made in
the rule about leaving campus after dark ;
two students may go to the theatre or
the village unaccompanied.

Whether men‘ should be entertained
in students’ rooms unchaperoned brought
up some interesting questions, such as “is
is the distinction between brothers and
cousins?” After some discussion, a sense
of the meeting was taken that men should
be admitted to students’ rooms on Sun-
days only, from two to six.

Motoring after dark waS"a question
that aroused much interest. It was finally



to and from a definite destination, if the
student has signed out fully beforehand.

The decision as regards obtaining spe-
cial permission for formal and informal
engagements in the evening was left to
the committee. M. L. Jones, presiding,
reminded the meeting that all. changes
are subject to the approval of the Board
of Trustees before they can be put into
effect.

The committee consists of nine mem-
bers, two from each elass, as follows:

Pansies Are Profitable.

Money is raised for scholarships by
Alumnae in many different ways. Among
the most interesting have been mono-
logues given by Cornelia Otis Skinner,
an Easter pansy sale in Chestnut Hill,
which netted over $500, and two lectures
on Dreadful Youth. and Is Woman a
Failure?, given in Chicago by Professor
J..W. Linn (father of E. H. Linn, 1929,
present holder of a-regional scholarship)
which brought in over $1200.

, Applications for scholarships are con-
stantly increasing in number. Most dis-
tricts have them for as far ahead as
1929-30, The geographical distribution is
very wide; -there-are, for example, two
from California, seven from New Eng-
land, six from St. Louis, two from Chi-
cago, six from,Baltimore, one from South
Carolina. New committées are being
organized all the time.

It was decided that Alumnae dues

Portia Marries, ees Jeannette Phillips
Gibbs, - Published by Little, Brown and
Co. a. ae Ad

Jeannette Gibbs is a ‘member of the
prolific. Gibbs family by marriage only,
being the wife of A: Hamilton Gibbs,
author of Soundings and Labels. She,
seems however to have caught the idea
that all the Gibbses have—that* they have
a message to put before the world.

In. Portia Marries, Mrs. Gibbs - has
used the theme of what happens when

in other words—successfully pursues #
career, in this ease, that of law, and has
a family as well.

We are%iven glimpses of Jane Thorn-
dike in early youth to show that” she has
always been a strong personality and a
leader. The main body of the story

first child; but the curtain is drawn for
a brief moment that we may see, how
this plan affects her children when they
are of college age.

The contrast is provided by Jane’s
sister, Mary, who is a homebody. — She
marries early, has much family and not
much—money, The argument is that if
she had followed a. vocation she would
be able to add to the family income
sufficient to pay for trained-care for her
children and avoid wearing herself out
doing things—that-she—was—not—very—well
fitted to do anyhoy

Jane, of course, is fortunate in falling
in love with a man who promises never
to be jealous of her job—a promise for-
gotten for only a fleeting moment. Most
of the time Tommy Kent is too proud
of Jane and too sensible to be upset by
having a wife who is different from the
‘conventional idea of what a wife should
be—somebody, to lay “out” your slippers
in the evening and otherwise keep you
comfortable.

The idea is an interesting one, not so
strange now that many women are doing
just. this, though not usually so success-
fully as Jane. The effect on all the
people with whom Jane comes in con-
tact is shown, on her law partner, the
various members of her family, her doc-
tor, her friend, and on her husband,
who while his-problem is not so great,
has a problem just the same. Even
thotigh so many angles of the picture are
exhibited, we are left with the feeling
that Portia Marries is nothing more than
a sketch, and that “things wouldn’t be so
easy in real life.”

-The book reads easily. It is almost
free from jerks, and the machinery does
not stick out too plainly. All in all,
Portia Marries provides excellent enter-
tainment on a theme that bears thinking
over.

Bill Nye,
tinuity by Frank Wilson Nye.
by Century Co.

This quasi-autobiography of the out-
standing American humorist of the last
two decades of the Nineteenth Century is
valuable for two reasons. It is a com-
prehensive characterization of Bill Nye
and secondly an illuminating delineation
of that period of accelerated transition in
American history

It is a compilation of the writings of
Bill Nye which reveal the author’s life
and personality—chiefly correspondence
—supplemented by letters and articles of
his associates and arranged in chrono-
logical order by his son, Frank Wilson
Nye. Wherever necessary; Mr. Fraftk
Nye has supplied explanations and com-
ments, but most of these are of the
utmost brevity so that the book is writ-
ten almost entirely by Bill Nye’s own
pen. This large collection of necessarily
diverse material has been threaded to-
gether so cleverly that actual homo-
geneity and unity has resulted. From a

themselves, thus emerges a unified n-
pression of the personality and . times
of the: great humorist,

¥t seems hardly possible that one more

fitted for this task than Mrs Frank Nye

could have been found. The fact that
he was scarcely more than seven years
old when his father died has made him
an objective, though a no less sympa-
thetic interpreter of Bill Nye. ‘Phe work
is very comprehensive, covering the
from the
place’ of his birth in Shirley, Maine,
where, to use his own words, he “first
met his parents,” to his “shatto” at Ashe-
ville, North Carolina, where he ‘died,
scarcely over fort years old. We wit-
ness. his remarkably Boia development

syndicate writer, and finally to the lec-
turer and humorist of international fame

the United States and in London: and
who. was sent by The World to review
the Paris Exposition,

The -interest is increased by the fact
that Bill Nye was intimate with such
men as James Whitcomb Riley, Bur-
bank, and Mark Twain. But the out-
standing feature is that Bill Nye is a
representative American of his age and
that his humor, like his character and
background, essentially Yankee.
Nevertheless one questions whether this
material is: of sufficient historical and
psychological importance—it makes no
pretense toward literary value—to war-

Green Forest, by Nathalie Sedgwick
Colby. Harcourt, Brace and Co,

Green Forest is a story told throtigh
the medium of a vivid imagination—that
of the heroine, Shirley. The story lasts
only as long as her.trip across the Atlan-
tic, during which she occupies her imagi-
nation with endless combinations of
memories and anticipations. Thus the
author has made a psychological study
of this character, assuming, and rightly
that the effect of external events is
often felt not so much at the moment
they take place as before or after. Dur-
ing the voyage Shirley is not the pro-
tagonist but rather the passive spectator:
it is her daughter Suzette who. acts.
Shirley waits, yearns, philosophises. The
reader never tires of watching her mind
because he has too keen a picture of
its workings before him, There is no
translation from the’ intimate language
of thought and. mental impressions into
the language of every-day life; we fol-
low as ‘closely as possible in our reading
the thread of Shirley’s preoccupations.
Having ‘suffered herself, she is highly
sensitive to the sufferings of others. In
contrast, her daughter has never known
what unhappiness is, and her greatest

The advantage ofthe strange style of

‘presenting a series of mental pictures is
its extreme vividnesss ‘We ate no strang-,

ers to the characters, not even to David,
who never appears in the story except in
retrospect. It would be -hard to forget
them,’ Because she has not been. afraid
to expose the incoherent flashes of sense,

Philip and the Faun, by William Bowen.

Moralizing in a book, even though
hidden by pretty images, is one ofpthe
greatést horrors of literature. ff is,
therefore, a pity that there should be
places’ in “Philip and the E un” where
the author. acts suspicious! as though
he were pointing a moral. Not that he
is obvious about it, nor does he, fortun-
ately,’ go into long abstractions on the
subject.. But none the less, there are
incidents, such as that of the newsboy,
Ww hen the suspicion looms large.

Aside from this fault, however, and
there are some by whom even this will
not be accounted a fault, the book is
quite charming and foolish. In an era
of -writers, who although all they have
to say could be said in one paragraph,
produce instead, from two to three hun-
dred pages of drivel. It is a distinct
relief to find a man who has a short
story to tell and tells it briefly. For
although Mr. Bowen takes his young
hero from a camp in the forests of Cali-
fornia, to the last retreat of the gods of
Greece and Rome, and thente half
around the world and back, he does it in
one small book that can be read in an
evening, even:as Philip experienced all
his adventures in an afternoon,

One episode which illustrates particu-
larly well the adroitness and delicacy
with which Mr. Bowen can handle a
story, occurs during Philip’s * travels
abroad. He is accompanied by the Faun
and by Arethusa, neither of whom can











be seen- by ordinary mortals, and they
are searching for two more. people,
gifted like Philip with the ability to see
the gods. “The incident: mentioned is:
the end of their search when they come
upon the poet, waiting for them on a
park bench, who takes them+to the house
of the little Chinese girl. ‘There their
searching finally ends when Philip, the |
poet and the girl, the three mor fits gifted
with the desired. sight, each gives a drop
of blood for the formula which js to
bring Pan back to life.
is given in remarkably few words, but
in such a way that the imagination of
the reader. is stirred to invent embellish-
ments and stories within the story, at
which the author only hints.

P This- is perhaps the most delightful
thing about Mt. Bowen’s book. Far
although it keeps strictly to the story in
hand, it is written in such a way that
the reader’s mind jn intrigued by an
infinite number of possibilities and sug-
gestions, which a person with any
imagination will find altogether delight-
ful. And his cleverness in handling these
suggestions, and inserting them, more
than anything’ else, marks Mr. Bowen
as a good writer.

Football Question Solved.

A Harvard” gradtiate has * suggested
playing next year’s Harvard-Yale foot-
all game at sunrise. | His) arguments
dor this novel innov ation are:



It would relieve traffic congestion and

the ticket situation because only the real
lovers of the game would be willing to
get up at sunrise.
« It would be educational for. many 4
“bird” who has never seen the sun rise.
There would be no danger of the game
heing called because of darkness .

It would be a conveniefit time of day
for those gentlemen who stay out all
night.—Stanford Daily.



Rules at Cambridge.
Proctors of Cambridge University
have the right to demand an introduction
to any girl seen walking with a student
after dark on the, campus, and any
hesitation will probably cause trouble.
Another new rule requires all under-
graduates to sign their names and give
the naine of their college before takfhg
a punt or canoe on the river, whether ac-
companied by a. girl or not.—Stanford
Daily.



Coeds Should Go 50-50.
That coeds should go fifty-fifty
dates if the boy. friend’s financial condi-
was the consensus of the

on

‘ion is poor,
sion of the Athena and Stevens Debate
Club of Washington University.

Coeds: should not expect a good night
kiss after a heavy date, said one of the
stronger sex. “After he has called a
taxi and taken her home he has done
entirely enough for: her.”

Personal experiences of the men re-
vealed that if the coeds did go fifty-fifty
they would learn to appreciate a date, in-
stead. of emitting an. indifferent “wh huh”
when asked for one. There would be
less men. staying home nights, too, if the
girls agreed to finance half of the expe-
dition. —McGill Daily.



The following rules were recently post-
ed by the faculty of a small college in
Kansas, for the regulation of student
morals: ‘ '

“No dresses shall be worn to college
which are shorter than six inches below
the knee. :

“Use or possession of lip-sticks or
rouge on school campus is prohibited.

“No slang. phrases or immodest. lan-
guage shall be employed.” :

Wearing of belts by boys is prohibited,
their use to be supplanted by suspenders

In, Medieval Universities. _
Upon del¥ing’ into Haskins’ “The Rise
of the Universities” -we discovered that
the fdllowing conditions prevailed in ae
Middle Ages.

“The professor was put ander ; a mi-
nute set of regulations, which guaranteed
his students the worth of the ‘money
paid ‘by each. “A professor might not
be absent without leave, even a single

day; and“if he desired to leave town, he |:

had to make a deposit to ensure “his
return. If he failed to. “secure an audi-
ence of five for a regular # lecture, he
was fined as if absent. He must begin
with the bell, and quit withif oné min-
ute éf the next ,bell. . He was..nat al-
lowed. to skip a chapter in his com-
mentary or postpone a difficulty to the

Say
fi po

end of the hour, and he was obliged to.

cover ground systematically.” a
Apparently these Medieval students

‘| took strenuous means of expressing their

disapproval, for at- New College there
was an ena@ment “against throwing
stones in chapel,” and Leipsic pre-

scribed penalties for “him who pickss up
a missile to throw at a professor, him
who throws and misses, and him ‘who
accomplishes “his fell purpose to the
master’s hurt.”

But in other ways they quite re-
sembled the modern student in that they
always selected the classes that came
later on in the morning so that they
might sleep longer, and were always
writing home to their parents for more
money. ’



Our National Bug-a-boo.

“You are dangerous,” said the au-
thorities of the Kansas City Junior
College, and so Gerald Fling and four
other students of this Kansas College
were made heroes by virtue of dis-
missal from college - for defending the
principles of free speech. With the ex-
pulsion of these five students the Kan-
sas College administration decreed, “stu-
dents who criticize their professors, ob-
ject to faculty censorship of their pub-
lications, write favorable reviews of
Cabell and Cather, quote Bernard Shaw
and The Nation and demand a modicum
of self-government are agents of Soviet
Russia.”

BLIZZARDS, BERETS AND, A WORTHY PROJECT _* New Dartmouth Paper.
. BEECHNUT ® ae "A \uite Alled with ideals, 8 The English Department at ‘Dartriiouth

“There is a place for everything
and everything in its place,” is ‘a
saying which most children hear far
too often for their own pleasure.

“And yet, oddly enough, “despite thay

obvious good sense of this assertion,
and despite its constant repetition
through the ages, it would seem that
no ofie or nothing ever pays the

slightest attention to it.

Take for example, blizzards. We
would be the last person to suggest
that a blizzard in its proper setting
inspiring, ‘even
thrilling. But Philadelphia is not
the place for a.blizzard. Philadel-
phia is the city of brotherly love;
and who ever heard of blizzards and

_ brotherly love being compatible ?

Then there are berets. ‘The mere
thought of a beret suggests all kinds
of chdrming things—the Latfn
Quarter, Apaches, gay and slightly
ribald students. There is no doubt,
moreover, that to certain people
this excuse for a cap is becoming,
it lends _a_ certain “ piquancy and
charm. -On the other hand, no beret
was ever made that suggested Broad
street. And yet it is there that we
have’ seen them; nor were they
adorning the heads of any gay, for-}
eign looking stranger. They were
being worn instead by- pink-cheeked
healthy daughters of Salem. and
Oshkosh.

And speaking of Oshkash, brings
up the subject of gum. We are, un-
fortunately, like those .nfost com-
mendable young ladies of the “In-
stitoot,” in that “we don’t smoke and
we don’t chew,”—at least we don’t
chew. Consequently, we ,may be
judged unfitted to discuss the sub-
ject. But, as a matter of fact, we

_ have no objection to it if it’ is car-

ried on at the proper. time and in the
proper environment. For instance,
we once knew a hired man who
could chew with the most admirable
grace; and his consummate skill in
spitting was to-our youthful eyes
the height of achievement. On the
other hand, chewing does not seem
to us to be a fitting accompaniment
of an evening at the opera. Nor do
we think that it is a habit which
should be encouraged in an institu?
tion of higher learning, where the
hope of the nation is nourished. Up
to date it is, we feel, a bit unkind to
call America “the land of the wide
open faces ;”-but what will be the
result if the opera and the campus
become, through usage, as much the
place for chewing as the barnyard?

But the illustrations are endless.
There are the gowns which are
worn only when it rains, or when
there is some dirty work to be done;
and the caps which are used only
for—just what are they used for,
except to decorate the closet shelf?
But why go on? The list is ex-
tended ad infinitum. Only, some-
thing really should be done about
it. It isn’t fair to deceive little chil-
dren like that.

Enforce Attendance.

The faculty at Rutgers is going to
enforce chapel attendance. ‘The student
is allowed two unexcused absences from
Sunday chapel and five unexcused ab-
sences from daily chapel. ‘ After that he
receives a notice that a repetition of

- such behavior shall result in a penalty

of three hours added to the number of
hours needed for graduation. In the
case of continued absence suspension for
the semester or for the year may fol-
low.—McGill Daily.

Will superintend his meals.”

Sarah Lawrence College, stich is
the name of the: Institution to be
established in Bronxville’ It will be
a Junior College, the first in New
York, and is to have various unique
educational features.

.The purpose of founding this
college, according to Mjss Coates,
its future President, is to “Provide
higher education for girls who have
been. graduated. from secondary
schools but who are not the type
sought by the four-year women’s
colleges.”

Mr.: Lawrence, the founder, how-
ever, lets the secret out when he
says that he has been considering
the gift for years, and that his
views were suddenly crystallizéd by
an article in the December Har-
per’s, “The Problem of the Edu-
cated Woman,” by R. LeClerc
pee

Mr. Lawrence, then has . taken
pity on the poor men and under-
takes to provide, in. the graduates
from his college, a supply of: mar-
riageable girls, properly trained i
the domestic sciences, and not too
brainy.







Student Fabrications.

What makes students lie about their
class work? Apparently (says the Ohio
State Lantern),» it is the accepted rule
of student etiquette or the style for stu-
dents to pretend that they are doing no
studying and no work of any kind when
they are. They say they have done no
work at all when they have spent hours
on it;
signed reading when they have perused
volumes, they say they have not started
to work on a thesis when they have
half finished it; they say they flunked a
mid-term when they fegl. sure that they
will get A or B on it. .Why that is the
custom is hard to say, but”it may be
that when the student. does well after
bragging that he has done little work,
it is that much more of an achievement
and consequently he receives that much
more honor. Whatever the motivating
influence, the habit ‘is harmless enough
except to those few exceptional ones that
believe the stories and try to emulate
the tellers of them. Theirs a rude
awakening.

New Test at Wellesley.

Wellesley College has stiffened its re-
quirements for graduation. An an-
nouncement by President Pendleton made
a general examination, designed to test a
student’s knowledge of her major course
a requisite for the B. A. degree, effective
with the class of 1928.

The examination will be given in the
spring term and will be in addition to
the usual course examinations. ‘It will
aim to correlate all the material cov-
ered by the courses in the major elective
study.

“It is hoped that this general exami-
nation will emphasize the fact that the
division of a subject into courses is for
convenience only, and that the contents
of these courses should be envisaged as
a whole,” said President Pendleton.—

‘Sleep Essential to Efficiency.
Stanford Daily quotes a Harvard
Professor, Dr E. G.

that ‘the results’ of experiments at Yeile
and Cofgate do not show that sleep is
not needed for.wotk.—Only that “a tem-
porary lose “of sleep acts as a mental
spur.” For -sustained efficiency, we must
contigiue to get in eight hours of sleep.
But, according to Dr. Boring, the first
two hours'‘of sleep, do more good than

SILK HATS AND SNOBS

One of the questions which always
interest Americans in England is; “What
is the value of a pudjic school educa-
tign?” If Lords, that celebrated assem-
bly of the public school class, serves no
other purpose, it yet deserves to live be-
cause it answers. this question beyond
further shadow of doubt. A public
school education is designed to teach the
capitalist classes not to feel foolish in
that symbol of their superiority—the silk

the keynote of Lords. Uneasy is the head
that wears one, for the are about as ap-
propriate to the usual weather at Lords
as the busbies of the Guards; but un-
easier yet is the head that does not wear
one. “Class-conscious solidarity” reach-
es its most dizzy height in the silk hat,
and one sees at Lords that England ‘is
divided as ever,-despite labor, into those
who wear and those who do not. One
cannot sufficiently impress upon Ameri-
cans. the importance of the silk hat; let
them beware of scoffing at what seems
merely the crowning absurdity to an ab-
surd costume, It is natural enough for
them to think it ridiculous, for America
does not know the: silk hat—it is as rare
there as licensed bars. No one, except

doormen at hotels, can muster the neces-
sary dignity, and they, therefore, are the
only wearers. But in England its. sig-
nificance, political. and. social, is over-
