N. McFADEN MAKES NEWS BOARD

The new member of the “News” board
from the Class of 1917 is Natalie Mc-
Faden. Miss McFaden was appointed to
take the place of Sarah Hinde, who has
gone on the Editorial Board of the
“Tipyn o’ Bob”. For two years Miss Mc-
Faden has been the class track captain
and last year she was class secretary. In
1914 she was the secretary of the Chris-
tian Association and two weeks ago she
was elected Christian Association Presi-
dent.

CHRISTIANITY DEFINED

Dr. Burleson Says It Is Not Merely Per-
sonal

Dr. Hugh Burleson, Secretary of Mis-
sions of the Episcopal Church, took as his
text Sunday night the last earthly words
of Jesus, “And ye shall be witnesses of
me”. Christianity, he said, is not the at-
tending to personal spiritual culture, but
the transmitting of our religious faith
and love to others who have less or none,

Christianity does not exist to make
men good, but to make them good for
something. ‘“‘We may keep lumps of dirt
which men call land, stones which men
call houses and metal which men call
money, without sharing them, but we can
not keep our Christianity unless we are
giving it away. Just as muscular dex-
terity and mental ability grow in the
‘spending, so does Christianity”.

Missiona the Price Mark of Religion

“Missionary interest is the price mark
you put on your own religion, your de-
sire to share it is the sign of its value.
; We have no right to be blind al-
leys of grace up which Christ walks to
meet a blank wall with nothing beyond”.
Dr. Burleson showed that the world has
been worshipping false gods. The king-
dom of God, he said, does not come by
education, civilization, or commerce, but
by the one thing that has not been tried,
Christianity—not Christianity but Chris-
tians have failed in the past. “Civiliza-
tion in a day fell into chaos” because
“God has been making his world a neigh-
borhood much faster than we have been
making it a brotherhood”.

COACH PRAISES GLEE CLUB MIKADO

F. Fuller Notable in Farcical Réle

The Glee Club’s production last Satur-
day of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Mikado”,
praised by its coach, Mr. B. S. Grant, as
the best amateur performance he had
ever trained, though amusing and
smoothly presented, was not striking for
acting or costuming. The singing, how-
ever, especially of the choruses, was un-
usually good and F. Fuller’s spirited in-
terpretation of the Lord High Bxecu-
tioner maintained the interest of the
opera throughout.

To the sustained comedy of this part
the less lively charms of the “second
trombone”, M. Jacobs, ’15, furnished a
picturesque foil. Her high, flexible so-
prano was particularly sweet in “A Wan-
dering Minstrel I”, and her sure touch in
acting was appreciated when she showed
what she’d “never, never do”, in the duet
with Yum-Yum.

Yum-Yum, C, Eastwick, ’18, cannot be
fairly criticized because of the fact that
her voice had almost given out in re-
hearsals. Considering this handicap, it is
remarkable that so much of its pleasing
quality remained and that the appeal of
her acting was not lost. Together with
Yum-Yum, Pitti-Sing and Peep-Bo, T.
Smith, ‘17, and’ E. Dabney, “19, attained
the necessary daintiness for the “Three
little maids from school”. For once T.
Smith had a part entirely suited to her
skill and grace.

The pompous comedy in the parts of
Pooh-Bah and Pish-Tush was adequately
brought out by E. Biddle, "19, and by A.
Kerr, "18. The Mikado, E. Pugh, ’15, al-
though she adopted the musical comedy
method of practically speaking her songs,
was particularly effective in “making the

High Praise for Model School from B. M.

In a clever and comprehensive article

Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant, ’03, describes
the aims and methods of the Model

tory. experiment in modern methods of

contains the germ of the future. It looks

ART PARALLELS CIVILIZATION

Fine Slides Illustrate Cram’s Lecture

The distinct appeal of Mr. Cram’s lec-
ture Saturday evening was largely due to
his vivid way of connecting whatever he
had to say on “Gothic Architecture” with
the civilization and society which pro-
duced it. The slides shown were unusu-
ally good and illustrated Gothic architec-
ture in the abbeys and cathedrals of the
England of the Middle Ages.

In speaking of American architecture,
Mr. Cram _ praised the Colonial or
Georgian type as really American. The
Georgian style in England, he said, had
become decadent and worn-out, but
America had vitalized it and made it her
own. In 1830 came the end of the break-
down of Renaissance tendencies, and
Gothic church plans were sent over from
England to America. The style was
called Victorian Gothic. “It was Victo-
rian”, said Mr. Cram, “but it wasn’t
Gothic”.

“The rising of a new Gothic tendency,
however”, Mr. Cram went on to explain,
“was the first evidence in visible form of
what was bound to take place in the
whole make-up of society. The passing
of classical or instinctive art was a fore-
cast of the breakdown of modern civiliza-
tion. The coming of the Gothic was a
forecast of what is to happen”.

Nightmare of Acquisition

After pointing out the similar break-
down, later on, of music in Germany and
poetry in England, saying that in his opin-
ion Brahms and Browning were the last
great commanding figures, Mr. Cram
turned to the situation to-day. ‘‘None can
predict”, he said, “the line that we shall
follow in order to extricate ourselves
from the nightmare folly into which we
have plunged ourselves through our in-
sane intellectuality. We have forgotten
character in acquisition; we have piled
up potential forces, both material and in-
tellectual, with no knowledge of what we
were getting them for.

“There are two openings for us: either
to learn to use our acquired power, to
work towards construction; or, if we do
not heed the warning of the war, to pay
the same price in the same coin as those
on the other side are paying”. Mr. Cram
believed that we would heed the warning
and that after the war a new era in art
would begin.

Old Architecture Foundation of New

to the future when education shall emerge

as an organic codrdinated process instead |

of a jumble of warring forces”.
School a College in Embryo

“4 school need not be a forcing house”,
she went on to demonstrate, “but a warm,
rich soil for the mind to grow in, a sort
of college in embryo. In this
school intellectual curiosity plays like
lightning around the room, runs like
quicksilver through the veins”. In regard
to the school child’s entrance into college,
Miss Sergeant prophesies amusingly;
“When girls who have used their minds
creatively instead of receptively for seven
years reach the lecture system something
spectacular is going to happen, something
very like the famous meeting between the
immovable body and the irresistible
force”.

And the model school child is prepar-
ing not only for college but for society
too. ,his we know from a young stu-
dent who recently wished to change her
hours for gymnastic exercise in order that
she might attend the class for good man-

STORM SPOILS TRACK MEET

Press Makes Veiled Comments

The unprecedented fall of snow, which
prevented the preliminary track meet
from coming off last Saturday and frus-
trated the financial hopes of Garrett En-
dowment Funders, received the following
slight notice in the weather report of one
of our leading papers: “The remarkable
feature of the occurrence”—the Weather
Bureau is referring here to the unseason-
able conditions of April 8th—‘‘was the
widespread snow which fell in the Middle
Atlantic States”.

The allusion to Bryn Mawr, though
cleverly veiled, is unmistakable,
Pennsylvania is one of the Middle Atlan-
tic States. But why was no space given
to the numerous storm centers and to the
prevailing fall of spirits attending the dis-
turbance? The whole attitude of the
press in regard to this affair is baffling.

M. O'SHEA AND M. LOUDON
WIN MASEFIELD PRIZE

The winners of the Masefield Competi-
tion, announced in Chapel Monday morn-
ing, are Monica B. O’Shea, ’17, with her
story of Ireland, “The Crown of Bells”,
and Margaret Loudon, '16, with a poem,
“The Return”. Miss Loudon’s poem will
appear in the next issue of “Tipyn o’
Bob”.

As Mr. Masefield has gone back to Eu-
rope, it has not been decided when the
prizes will be given out.

UNDERGRADUATES DISCUSS SUS.
PENSION

Daisy Chain Abolished

Isabel Whittier, 1919, has been sus-
pended from College for two semesters
because of breaking the rules of the
Senate, by quotation without acknowl-
edgement in a critical paper on the bal-
lads. Miss Whittier was called before
the Senate Monday afternoon and on
Monday evening, at a meeting of the Un-
dergraduate Association called for other
business, her suspension was considered.

Latest Report Prevents Petition
A resolution passed to petition the Sen-
ate to reconsider its decision on the
ground of the technicality of the offense
was rescinded tater in the evening when
the facts of the case were more fully
learned. In view of the contradictory re-
ports going about, it was voted that the
Undergraduate Association should ask
President Thomas if she could send to
the president of the Undergraduate Asso-
ciation, in writing, the reasons of the

Senate for suspension or expulsion.

Why Is Sunny Jim?

At this meeting it was also voted to
abolish the daisy chain and to send two
committees to President Thomas, one to
consider changes in daily Chapel and the
other to discuss the qualifications for the
Helena Ritchie prize. The Association
feels that the qualifications for “Sunny
Jim”, such as “high fortitude” and “cour-
age”, are too indefinite and vague.

Emilie T. Strauss, who with the last
issue of the “News”, finished her year as
Managing Editor, will be greatly missed
by the Editorial Board as well as by our
weekly readers. She has received a great
deal of credit for her work, but she can
not receive too much. She took the
“News” at a difficult time. Since it had
been appearing for a year, the first rush
of enthusiasm was over; criticisms were
frequent and rapid improvement was ex-
pected, It is she who has fulfilled these
expectations and given inspiration for its
continued work.

The last two student members of the
original ‘““News” board, Mary G. Branson,
16, and Fredrika Kellogg, '16, retired
with the last issue. Just before Com-
mencement in 1914 these two, with Miss
Applebee, planned to start a weekly paper
the next year. They felt that because of
the general indifference towards College
activities and the consequent scattered
and divided interests some unifying fac-
tor was necessary. The question of a
weekly paper had already been discussed
by the whole College and had been gen-
erally condemned, so a further plan was

suggested, that, if this weekly paper
failed, they should at least get out a bul-
letin of Athletic and Christian Associa-
tion news. Isabel Foster, '15, and Adri-
enne Kenyon, ’15, had also decided to
start a paper so these two groups com-
bined. To stress the interest in the Ath-
letic and Christian Associations, they
asked Ruth Tinker, '15, president of
the Christian Association, and Isolde
Zwecker, ‘15, president of the Athletic
Association, to be on the board. The im-
mediate success of the “News” proved
the need of such an organ.

The next great question was the choice
of a name for the paper. Remembering
the “Harvard Crimson” someone sug-
gested the “Bryn Mawr Yellow”, but this
was immediately suppressed for obvious
reasons. When they had finally tri-
umphantly agreed on the innocuous title
“The College News”, a paper from a sis-
ter college said that it was just like Bryn
Mawr to call its weekly “The College”
news.

The plan chosen by the Undergraduate
Association for securing correct informa-
tion in regard to cases of expulsion or
suspension by the Senate may not be
practically efficient. The Senate will have
every right to deny a written account of
its reasons to the undergraduate presi-
dent and to consider the statement of
those reasons in Chapel quite sufficient.
But, at least, the decision itself, the at-
tempt to confirm rumor by authority, is
a step in the right direction. Students
are beginning to realize that the most
positive conviction in the world, that
they are right and the other person. is

wrong, does not take the place of facts.

catdiadien Anos high, of tehae bebe
Mission, New York, in Vespers on April
9th. “You can be unanswerable argu-

The best argument for Christianity, she |

went on, is what it has done and the Bryn
Mawr helpers who “work for children,
being moved by love for them”, according
to the Italian minister, impress all who
come to Bates House for their vacation
by their spirit of good will and helpful-
ness. The chance to meet the College
girls on an equal footing means a great
deal to the Spring Street people in broad-
ening their interests.
Four Helpers Wanted

Scrubbing and scouring the house at
Long Branch will begin June 5th under
the direction of Miss Applebee, Miss Wig-
gin announced, and the first lot of kinder-
garten children will come down the 12th.
She urged that there be four people in-

CARRANZA BUILDS UP GOVERNMENT

Mr. Slaughter Speaks on Mexico

Mr. John Willis Slaughter, speaking on
Thursday afternoon under the auspices of
the History Club, praised Carranza for
his constructive work and told of his own
personal experiences in Mexico. ‘Under
the Diaz dictatorship”, he said, “Mexico
was being sold off to the rich foreigner.
Since the revolution, Carranza, with a
passion to do justice to his people, has
been establishing a civil as well as a mili-
tary government”.

New Reforms in Republic

In describing the reforms of the revo-
lution Mr. Slaughter said that Carranza
has abolished the Federal States Dis-
tricts, obliged dignitaries of the church
to retire from politics, restored land orig-
inally taken away unjustly, and levied
the land tax, which falls lightly on the
small landholders, and is finally trying to
build up a civil administration and estab-
lish law and order so that he can intro-
duce new reforms into the republic.

ALUMNA NOTES

Constance Leupp, ’03 (Mrs. Laurence
Todd), a son born March 30th.

The Class of 1912 had a reunion dinner
on April ist at the Women’s University
Club in New York. Seventeen members
were present.

Mary Gertrude Fendall, "12, and May
M. Thompson, '12, have been working for
the Congressional Union, which is lobby-
ing for suffrage at Washington.

“The Gypsy Trail”, an anthology for
campers compiled by Pauline Goldmark,
’96, and Mary D. Hopkins, ’96, has been
placed on the table in the New Book
Room. The collection includes a poem,
“Hylas”, by Georgiana G. King, ’96.

Emily Green Balch, '89, Professor of
Economics at Wellesley, sailed on Satur-
day for Stockholm to take Miss Jane Ad-
dams’ place at the Ford Peace Confer-
ence. The necessity of undergoing a
course of treatment for tuberculosis of
the kidney prevented Miss Addams from
sailing. In speaking of this, Miss Ad-
dams said, “There never was a time in
my life when I could less easily have
borne being held back by illness”.

“Work to Begin This Spring

The election of officers, the adoption of
a constitution and the planning of the
financial arrangements for the Commu-
nity Center in Bryn Mawr was the busi-
ness of the first meeting of the committee
of fifty representative citizens on April
5th. Mrs, Dayton Vorhees (Elsa Dennin-
son, ’10) was elected to be a member of
the executive committee of seven. The
College is represented on the large com-
mittee of fifty by Dr. Kingsbury, Miss Ap-
plebee and BH. Dulles, '17. The plans made
by the original committee, Dr. Nesbit, Dr.
Kingsbury, Miss Scott and Mrs. Vorhees,
were accepted and it is expected that
they can be carried out in a few weeks.

‘Opportunity for Social Work

“The Community Center will be of
great importance to the College in offer-
ing a wider opportunity for social work”,
according to the College Settlement Elec-
tor, BE. Dulles, 17. “There will be many
clubs, entertainments and enterprises for
social betterment in which the students
can help, There will probably be a paid
social worker in charge, who will organ-
ize the activities and guide the students’
efforts”’.

Taxpayers Sign Petition

‘The back part of the school house on
Lancaster Avenue will be used as a cen-
ter if the school board permits. A peti-
tion requesting its use, signed by a large
number of taxpayers and voters of the
community, is to be taken to the board
this week. It can be shut off from the
rest of the building by a partition and is
reached by a separate door. After a few
changes there will be five small club
rooms, one suitable for a kitchen, and one
large assembly room. There is a possi-
bility of a bowling alley in the basement
and of a tennis court or a _ basket-ball
field in the rear. Miss Johnson has of-
fered the use of the Baldwin School ten-
nis courts for the summer.

punishment fit the crime”. M. Russell,
16, as Katisha, suffered from a voice too
low in pitch for her part.

On the whole, consistently good acting
and professional ease, especially in the
handling of encores, was achieved only by
Ko-Ko, F. Fuller, "19. The use of ex-
treme simplicity in scenery was unfortu-
nate in conjunction with the lack of ef-
fective massing in the costumes of the
chorus and on account of the dismantled
appearance of the stage when only the
principals were acting. K. McCollon, ’15,
conducted with professional ability, and
the entire credit for the training of the
singing belongs to her. K. Tyler, '19,
again proved her value as pianist.

INNOVATION AT PRINCETON

Lectures by the new professors, in
which they describe the work they expect
to cover in their courses, is an innovation
at Princeton this year. The purpose of
these lectures is to help the student to
decide his course at college and to in-
terest him in different lines of study and
occupation.

FELLOWSHIP IN HONOR OF MISS
DUROR

The fellowship offered annually by the
Barnard faculty to the Seniors will be

Mawr.

founded on what has been before. As
proof of this came the slides: pictures of
Wells Cathedral and of Whitby, of Dur-

St. Mary’s Abbey of York, which Mr.
Cram said he liked best in England and
which the “splendid sense of practicality
of the 19th century ” did its best to de-

“The builders of the English Gothic in

failed, but their failure was sublime”.

CAMPUS NOTES

The Art Department has received a gift
of thirty-five photographs of modern im-
pressionistic art from M. Durand-Ruel,
head of the large house of art dealers in
New York and Paris. A good many years
ago, when the artists who have since be-
come famous, could not sell enough pic-
tures to earn a living, M. Durand-Ruel
bought many of the finest and thus
turned the tide in their favour.

Dr. Leake and Dr. Fenwick spoke be-
fore the History Club on Wednesday at
4.30 in Pembroke Hast. Their subject |-
was the different platforms of the polit-
ical parties.

8.35. A few verses from the Bible are
read, followed by short prayers. The
meeting ends promptly so that all present
can get to Chapel.

On Sunday, April 16th, the annual Palm
Sunday Service of the Maids’ Sunday
School will be held in Chapel at 4.00
p.m. Anthems by the choir, responsive
reading, and recitations by the classes
and individuals will be included in the
service, which is open to all members of
the College,

The candy and ice cream sale at the
“Mikado” cleared about ninety dollars for
Bates House. Of the six hundred dollars
tobe collected, about four hundred _dol-
lars has now been raised. Candy will be
sold at the Junior-Senior Supper Play and
ice cream at the basket-ball games by the
Bates Committee. Bates House is en-
tirely dependent on the money given by
Bryn Mawr for its support.

In addition to the four British and three
German scholarships offered by Bryn
Mawr to students from foreign universi-
ties, next year three French, one Scandi-
navian, and one Swiss scholarship will
be offered. The scholarships cover the
fees for board, residence and tuition at
Bryn Mawr for one academic year.

NOVEL BOOK SHOP AT YALE

Rare Prints and First Editions Sold

The Brick Row Print and Book Shop,
established. at Yale in December as an
experiment has now proved to be an im-
portant part of the College interests in
helping booklovers to find rare books, in
acquainting the uninitiated with the best
editions, and in increasing the general
interest in prints and books.

First editions of Stevenson, Kipling,
Francis Thompson and others; one of the
original three volume sets of “Lorna
Doone”, and many standard sets of well-
known authors have been sold. After
Masefield’s visit about two hundred vol-
umes of his prose and verse were sold
within ten days, and subscriptions have
been secured for copies of his limited edi-
tion of “Sonnets” just published. It has
also met the great demand for books on
Yale life.

‘the old plan of speaking is being tried by
the Sophomore, Debating Society. At the
meeting last week, instead of impromptu
speeches on different subjects, two regu-
lar debates were held. As usual, there
was no preparation, the speakers being
chosen at the meeting and drawing for
their sides of the questions. The ques-
tions discussed were: the President’s
policy in regard to the war, and the pres-
ent system of self-government at Bryn
Mawr.

‘It is hoped that by debating the speak-
ers will learn to think logically, as they
have learnéd to talk easily by the more
informal method. Some of the Sopho-
mores, however, prefer the old scheme
on the ground that the greater number of
subjects it required made the meeting
more interesting.

No definite plans for inter-class debates
have been made yet, but the Sophomores
may challenge the other classes after
Paster.

NEW ART EMOTIONAL

Exhibition of Futurist Art in the Library

In the south: corridor of the Library
there are some photographs of work of
the new movement in art, popularly
called Futurism. The purpose of the new

art is to get away from the past efforts
at exact representation to something
more abstract.

The artist attempts to give his emotion
in looking at a certain object and unless
you experience the same emotion you do
not get out of the picture all that the
artist intended you to. But, as Miss King
said in explaining the pictures to “The
News” reporter, “you may get something
else, just as in music you don’t always
get what the composer intended”. These
artists attempt to give the most striking
thing the most important place, without
regard for the logical order.

FIFTY PER CENT OF STUDENTS
VOLUNTEER FOR SOCIAL WORK

A rough canvass taken among the un-
dergraduates by the Settlement Commit-
tee shows that 70 per-cent of the-under-
graduates are definitely interested in so-
cial work, 23 per cent have done work of
some kind such as helping at a summer
camp or teaching a settlement class, and
30 per cent expect to do some social work

after college, either as professionals or |

as volunteers.

More than a hundred and sixty students
have offered to spend some time each
week helping social work in Bryn Mawr
village.
fered to coach basket-ball or teach gym;
twenty-one have suggested teaching
dancing; nineteen, current events, and
twelve, dramatics. As only a small num-
ber of students have not answered the
questions, the results may be considered
representative of the whole College.
