Agonistic, 1924-1925

Vol. X AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1924 No. 1

Session

Activities At Agnes Scott, Their Organization
and Purpose

Student Government and Y. W.
C. A. Regulate College
Life

The new students, especially those
freshmen who have paid dollar fees
to unscrupulous sophomores for mem-
bership in Hoase and similar honor-
ary organizations, will probably la-
ment because the Agonistic with its
information about organizations,
clubs and societies on the campus
did not come out sooner,

Of prime importance are the Stu-
dent Government and Athletic Asso-
ciations, and Y. W. C. A. Every new
student is expected to join these, which
she may do after payment of the
budget and signing of the Student
Government pledge and Y. W. mem-
bership cards. The Student Govern-
ment Association makes possible the
numerous privileges which Agnes
Scott students enjoy, and cannot func-
tion without the co-operation of the
students. Y. W. C. A. besides pro-
viding a Vesper service every Sunday
evening, has charge of many other
activities, some of which Frances Lin-
coln mentioned in her talk Sunday.
The Athletic Association takes care
of the fiercely fought inter-class con-
tests, including hockey, basketball, and
baseball games, track, and tennis
matches. It is also responsible for
our camp at Stone Mountain.

Since it has occasioned so much
excitement, it is well to explain what
“Hoase-is. New members are selected
by existing members from those stu-
dents who during their freshman,

sophomore, and junior years have]-

been true servers of their Alma
Mater.

Another honorary society is Gamma
Tau Alpha. It is similar to the Na-
tional Phi Beta Kappa. Seniors are
admitted to membership who through-
out their college career have main-
tained a high degree of excellence
in their studies, who have indicated

they have a broad grasp of the things |

A.S.C. Welcomes New *=*-

Members of Faculty

Nine New Members on

Faculty

The freshmen are told every year
that on them depends the destiny of
their college. True as this is, it is
also true that the fate of a college is
dependent on its teachers, as well.
After considering the new students
and the new teachers, we have come
to the conclusion that Agnes Scott
will fare well this year.

How interesting are our “freshman

faculty’! The new teachers are des- |”

ignated thus for two reasons. One
is that they are new in the same
sense that the freshmen are; and the
other, that so many have mistaken
them for freshmen.

Four of them, Emmie Ficklen, Fran-
ces Amis, Cora Morton and Daisy
Frances Smith graduated here last
year, and are well known by the
old girls, but are continually asked
by new girls “Are you a freshman,
too?’? While Miss Skeen is abroad,
Emmie is assisting in Chemistry.

Opening Exercises
Held September 10

Dr. Carter Helm Jones Delivers
Address

Agnes Scott was formally opened
for the session 1924-25 Wednesday
morning, September 10, at two o’clock.
The exercises were opened by a song,
after which Dr. Dunkee read a prayer.
This prayer was particularly eppro-
priate for the occasion, because it
was a prayer written by Agnes Scott,
in whose honor the college was found-
ed, for whom Agnes Scott was named.
The scripture for the morning was
read by Rev. Eakes, pastor of the
Decatur Methodist church. Dr. Me-
Ceathy of the Decatur Presbyterian
church followed with a prayer.

The address of the morning was de-
livered by Dr. Carter Helm Jones,
pastor of the Central Baptist church
of Atlanta. In his address he wave
a wonderful theme for Agnes Scott
girls to remember throughout the
year, that is that college is an intro-
juction to life, for in college every girl
has a chance to learn the things that
will introduce her to a broader, clear-
er understanding of life.

Mrs. Donaldson, president of the
Alumnae Association, gave a word
of welcome and invitation to enjoy
the tea room to both the old and new
students.

Mr. Orr, then our chairman of the
board of trustees, gave some import-
ant announcements and advice to all
girls.

The year opened with the most in-
teresting plans and we are looking
forwatd 06 a most successful year.

Y.W.C.A. and Student
Government Give
Reception

1924-’25 Begins

Lecture Association Presents Plans for the
Coming Year

Dr. Leacock to Lecture
at Agnes Scott on
September 24

Will Give Humorous Lecture
“Frenzied Fiction”

Agnes Scott indeed feels fortunate
in haying secured for its first lecturer
this year the celebrated Stephen D.
Leacock. Mr. Leacock, who is known
internationally as a famous wit and
satirist, will lecture here on the after-
noon of September 24th, on the sub-
ject of “Frenzied Fiction.” All who
have heard this lecture readily confirm
the report that Mr. Leacock keeps his
audience in a continuous uproar.

The lecturer is not only a famous
humorist but is a man of profound
learning as well. He heads the de-
partment of political economy at Mc-
Gill University, Canada’s greatest
school. It is said, however, that he
belies the common impression of the
serious-minded, dignified and more or
less solemn college professor. For this
reason he is most popular both as a
teacher and as a speaker.

Mr. Leacock has reached the
heights of celebrity through his books
and articles also. His books are writ-
ten in the same witty manner that he
talks and are widely read and enjoyed.
“Nonsense Novels,” “Further Foolish-
ness,” “Behind the Beyond,” are some
of his best known volumes. His lat-
est buok is “Aévoss the Footlights,”
which tells the tale of the theatre
before the day of high priced seats,
the modern sex drama, and the spe-
cialized musical reviews. ‘My Dis-
covery of England,” published recent-

j ly in Harper’s Magazine, is one of the

most famous of a series of his funny

new students by the Y. W. C. A. and
Student Government Association, last
Saturday evening, Sept. 13th, was
unusually well attended, despite the
torrents of rain that poured down,

off and on during the entire evening.
According to custom, the old stu-
dents acted as escorts to the new,
and introduced them to the facuity
and all the old students whose names
they could remember. A delightful
program of music and dancing was
presented; Miss Helen Bates sing-
ing, Miss Cocahontas Wight playing
the violin, and Miss Gene Dozier giv-
ing a solo dance. During the even-
ing, punch was served, and the
Freshmen presented with attractive
favors. Among those in the receiv-
ing line were Dr. McCain, Miss Hop-
kins, Miss Alexander, Mrs. Syden-
stricker, Miss Gaylord, Miss Ran-
dolph, Mr. Holt, Miss Frances Lin-
coln, Miss Mary Anne McKinney, and
Miss Emily Spivey.

CHANGES ON THE CAMPUS

Infirmary Moved; and New Dormitory
Opened

Whoever thought that the infirmary
was a staid and stable institution has
had to change his mind, for during
the summer, it was moved about two
hundred feet nearer Candler Street in
order to make room for the new gym-
nasium building. The infirmary sur-
vived the shock of moving well, its
only loss being a little plastering.

Nor can the infirmary claim the
honor of being the only changed thing
on the campus, for right next to Boyd
there is another cottage, now inhabit-
ed by some of the faculty members,
and ten girls. The college has owned
this cottage, Sturgis, for the past few
years, but this is the first time in
a number of years that it has been
occupied by college students and fac-
ulty. ,

As a lecturer, Stephen Leacock has

| been a decided “hit” from his very

first appearance. He has been ex-
tremely popular for the past ten
years, both in Canada, the United
States, and England. He is a Cana-

Agnes Scott Tea at
Montreat

“Aones Scotters” at Montreat
Hold Meeting

One bright July day last summer,
all Hottentots sojourning in Mon-
treat, North Carolina, dressed in Sun-
day best for an Agnes Seott tea at
the sign of the “Copper Kettle.” Un-
fortunate first-comers were pressed
into service as a receiving line to wel-
come Mr. Mandeville, Dr. MeCain, and
distinguished Alumnae. There was
a merry scramble for places in the
quaint room with its huge stone fire
place and dainty tables. Hottentots
of the day discussed such vital ques-
tions as Sophomore week and vaca-
tion while their elders recalled for-
mer escapades.

After a delicious course of chick-
en salad, hot rolls, ice tea, and cake,
Mrs. Hazen Smith introduced the
speakers for the afternoon. Mr.
Mandeville expressed again his deep
interest in Agnes Scott and his de-
sire to be of service here. Dr. Mc-
Cain cheered us with the news that
the new gym was actually started and
then outlined briefly the building pro-
gram for the next few years. The
present generation looked forward
eagerly to seeing part of the greater
Agnes Scott before it graduated, and
the Alumnae marveled at its growth.

The Alumnae told of mischief and
experiences while Agnes Scott was

Dr. Stephen Leacock To Be First
Lecturer

The object of the Lecture Associa-
tion has been to bring to the college
important people who are doing out-
standing work. In this it has been
unusually successful. It has in the
past been fortunate in obtaining for
the college many noted speakers, who
have been of great value in helping
the students to keep abreast of the
times.

The members of the Association are
making important plans for the year.
Already they have secured for Sep-
tember 24th Stephen Leacock, profes-
sor of political science at McGill Uni-
versity in Montreal. Besides being a
leading member of the faculty at this
university, Mr. Leacock is renowned
as a foremost wit, humorist and satir-
ist. His books have had a large sale
in many English-speaking countries,
and his magazine articles are widely
known. As a lecturer he is in great
demand everywhere, for it is on the
platform that his genius finds its full-
est and most delightful expression.
Agnes Scott may indeed look forward
to his visit with a great deal of pleas-
ure and interest.

The Lecture Association has not
made definite arrangements for other
speakers, but it has under considera-
tion many prominent and entertaining
lecturers. Among them are: Walter
Camp, originator of “Walter Camp’s
Daily Dozen,’ used the world over
by busy brsiness men and health
seekers in general, author of number-
less treatises covering every branch
of the field of sport, chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee of the In~
ternational Sports Club, and selector-
of the “All-American” teams for va-
rious branches of collegiate sport; Dr.
Carl] Van Doren, literary editor of the
Century Magazine, profesor of Eng-
lish at Columbia University, and presi-
dent of the “P. E. N.” Club (meaning
the Club of Poets, Essayists and Nov-

elists); Gutzon Borglum, the famous
sculptor who is carving the Confed-

W. C. A. Gives Floor
Parties

The annual floor parties were held
on Friday night, Sept. 12, at 9:15.
This is the time that all the new
girls and all the old girls in the same
“neighborhood get acquainted. This
year there were six parties. Both
floors of White House united and had
one party in Lillian Middlebrooks’
room. In Inman there were three
parties. The one on first floor was
held in Eleanor Bennett’s room; on
the second floor, in Frances Bitzer’s
and Jack Ralston’s room; on third
floor, in Grace Ethridge’s and Louise
Plumb’s room. In Main, Jo Walker,
Katherine Rickards, and Eliza Ramsey
were hostesses for third floor, and
Bee Keith, Virginia Norris, and Emily
Kingsbury for second floor. All the
parties were conducted in a similar
way. Stunts and games occupied the
first part of the hour. Judging from
the laughter which emitted from the
various windows, these afforded great
amusement. Then refreshments of
salted peanuts and chocolate drops
were served, and after that, school
songs were sung. During the even-
ing, three strolling minstrels visited
each scene of festivity. These were
Sara Smith, Mildred Morrow, and
Evelyn Powell, who sang several
numbers to the accompaniment of
Sara’s guitar and Mildred’s ukulele.
Everyone pronounced the floor parties
a complete success,

The Agonistic wishes to welcome each student at Agnes Scott
in this, the first issue of our paper for the year 1924-1925. We
are glad that there is such a large number of our old students back
with us and for each of them the Agonistic wishes a most suc-
cessful year. But especially do we wish to give a word of greeting

to the incoming Freshman class.

We are mighty glad to have

you in our student body this year, and we hope that you will
learn to love Agnes Scott in the coming year as much as we do.

Perhaps it is needless to tell you, that the more you put into
your college life, the more interest and love will you have for
your Alma Mater. Agnes Scott has a place for each and every
one of you. You will find on our campus every form of college
activity. For those who are interested in writing we have our
short story and journalistic clubs. For others there are the
dramatic and debating clubs. Membership in these necessarily
must be limited. So in order that we may have the best, member-
ship is based on tryouts which will be held twice during the year.

Agnes Scott Girls Have| Lecture Association

Poems in “College
Anthology”

Cheatham and Bull Honored

Presents Delightful
Stunt

The Lecture Association presented

Agnes Scott is very proud of being|@ unique stunt in the chapel Mon-

represented in the “College Antholo-
gy” this year by the poems of Mar-
garet Bull and Elizabeth Cheatham.

The “College Anthology”, edited by
Henry T. Schnittkind is an anthology
of the best poetry written by the col-
lege students of the United States.
The 1923-24 copy of the anthology is
the sixth edition and Agnes Scott has
been represented in each edition be-
ginning with a poem by Agnes White
in 1915-16. Other Agnes Scott girls
whose poems have been in the antho-
logy are Margaret Bland, Janef Pres-
ton, India Hunt, Alice Cooper, Fran-
ces Markley, Elizabeth Enloe, Mar-
jorie Lowe.

The two lovely poems by Elizabeth
Cheatham and Margaret Bull, which
were chosen this year are below:

Wishes
Like leaves borne whirling to the sky
By a gust of light wind passing by,
Wishes, wilful truants of my mind,
Fly high and leave me far behind.

Up, out in the star-fires lighted space
The Weaver, weaving with brooding
face,

Catches my wishes in a web of gleams,
And sends them back to me as dreams.

—Margaret Bull.

day night after prayers. The de-
lightful humor of this pleasant recre-
ation kept all present laughing, as
they watched the career of Verdena
Ignoramus, who came to Agnes Scott
with very little learning, but a great
deal of sophistication. Verdena made
up for her mental deficiency by array-
ing herself in the latest, most fash-
ionable costumes and by spending her
energy and her valuable time in pop-
ping gum, slicking her hair with ban-
doline, and applying cosmetics to her
fair young countenance. But woe and
alas! Even sophistication avails
naught when Cupid enters with his
bow and arrows. Verdena fell des-
perately in love with a serious mind-
ed, learned Ph. D. She was a total
wreck over her mental imperfections,
and the poor girl was indeed in a

the graduate students, she among
them, were put in a ramshackly, mice

says, hold no terrors for her, since
she aided in conquering those mice.
Her home is Durham, and it is pro-
phesied that she will make a valuable

The Y. W. C. A. takes this oppor-
tunity to again extend to the new
girls the glad hand of fellowship. We
have been trying in various ways to
express to you our joy at having you
on the campus, and we hope you will
come to us with any troubles we
may be able to help you solve, or
with any suggestions which will bet-
ter the organization.

The Cabinet girls came up the week
end before school started and went
to Pine Lodge to plan the program
for the coming year. It was a most
delightful camp, for mingled with
the work, were delightful swims and
tramps through the woods, to say
nothing of the joy of sitting around
an open fire singing, while the moon
peeped through the window at us.
Dudley proved herself a most able
steak fryer, and I refer anyone to
Mary and Jinks if they have any te-
dious jobs, such as fixing oil stove
wicks, to be done; of course no one
could excel Peg as a dish-washer and
Dick as a chaperon—Dick even
peeled potatoes while we did the men-
tal work.

Besides all our good times we have
arranged a program for this year
which we hope will mean a great deal
to the girls on the campus. We are
going to think of the Jesus Way of
doing things, and we hope to come
closer to him on our campus through
this subject.

Miss Gault also rooms in Boyd, A9.
She lives in Chicago, graduated from
the University of Chicago, and was

to hold Spanish classes here, but
does not guarantee to teach Spanish.
For those who do not know her, I'll
state that she is the teacher who has
been having to carry her mail in a
large waste paper basket.

The Student Industrial Committee
is making great plans for this year.
We hope to have at least ten or
twelve college girls and the same
number of industrial girls on the com-
mittee. We are going to study the

to the women in industry. How

if you have any won’t you see some member of the staff and give
her your suggestion ?

The Agonistic is published by the students of Agnes Scott. In
order to do this we must have reporters. We want you, members
of the Freshman class, to give us your co-operation and help in

this way to make our paper truly representative of the Agnes
Scott student body.

How fairy-like the spires rise from the

of the present, and a vision of future
attainments. Membership in Gamma
Tau is the highest scholastic honor
which Agnes Scott offers.

There are also on the campus
“Subject” clubs. Anyone taking Bible
is automatically a member of the
Bible Club. Those taking higher
French, Mathematics, History, Latin,
or Greek, are eligible for member-
ship in the French, Math, Internation-
al Relations, and Classical Clubs, re-
spectively.

There are literary clubs to meet
the liking of anyone who has a taste
for writing. Folio is a short story
club for freshmen, and B, O. Z, a
similar organization for upper class-
men. Try-outs are made by submit-
‘ting an original short story. These
two clubs afford constant opportuni-
ties for their members to write, and
at regular meetings, constructive
criticism is made. Those who find
that they readily express themselves
in meter—even those who can write
vers libre—are invited to join the
Poetry Club. It has already come
into renown since the national ap-
preciation of poems written by Miss
Preston, Janice Brown, Elizabeth
Cheatham and other members. K, U.
B. serves a double purpose. It en-
ables those interested in journalism
to report for large city newspapers,
and it furnishes news of Agnes Scott
to the outside world.

Music is not neglected. Those who
can sing are urged to try out for the

Choral Society and Glee Club. The
first presents Handel's “Messiah” an-
nually on the Sunday afternoon before
Christmas, and the second gives con-
certs during the year on the campus,
and last year even made a short tour.
The orchestra is another musical or-

ganization. It furnishes the music
at the weekly Tuesday night sings,
at rallies, and also at meetings of
various clubs in Atlanta. It has the
added distinction of having sent its
music over radio. Anyone who plays
some sort of instrument is asked to
try out for the orchestra.

“More rain,” Miss Button says; “just

look at it!
You reckon it ain’t never goin’ to
quit?”

Almost everyone who has heard of
Agnes Scott has heard of the annual
triangular debates in which Sophie
Newcomb and Randolph Macon also
take part. Agnes Scott is proud of
losing only two of the eight debates
in which she has taken part. One of
the reasons for such a good record
is that Pi Alpha Phi, our debating so-
ciety, keeps those who have ability
in practice throughout the year.
Freshmen are allowed to try out for

An organization which is of great
benefit to the students, is the Lecture
Association. It requires less work of
its members than almost any other
organization on the campus, yet the
good which it furnishes them is ke-
yond calculation. All that is neces-
sary for membership is the payment
of two dollars for a season ticket to
the lectures, which number from half
a dozen up, given by some of the
world’s most worthwhile people. Any
of the old students can testify that
it returns more than “value received”
to its members.

Those ‘desiring

Although our rule failed when ap-

plied to Dr. Good, there are four new
teachers,
Miss Gault, and Miss Sinclair, who
can recount many amusing incidents
in which they were mistaken for
freshmen. At the reception, when one

Miss Brown, Miss Cole,

of them met a junior prominent in
the junior asked,
“What is your first name? I never
can remember last names.” A
sophomore tried ‘to sell her Latin I

‘books to another, and the third was

asked if she had arranged her courses
yet. When one of them, in White
House Dining Room, stopped at Mrs.
Firnell’s table, a senior exclaimed,
“Quick! Let’s rescue that freshman—
she’s about to sit at the faculty table.”

Miss Brown, who rooms at A6 Boyd,
teaches Biology. She graduated at
Goucher and was assistant there be-
fore she came here. Her home is in
Baltimore, Md., and she says this is
her first trial at living in college
dormitories.

Miss Cole rooms across the hall
from her in room 3. As Miss Cooper,
who was here last year is going to
get married, Miss Cole is teaching

our main store on the sauare.

confessed to hanging out a main win-
dow to bid farewell to some boys
leaving by the South Decatur car.

Obedience was prompt when Miss
Hopkins entered quietly saying:
“Young ladies, there will be no

diplomas tomorrow unless you retire
immediately.” We heard of a midnight
feast in the tower room consisting
of dry loaves attached from the
store room; Mrs. Mott Martin of Af-
rica spoke of her desire to uphold
the honor of Agnes Scott and of her
mortification and grief when she,
dressed in a middy suit, met the
guests of a reception; she had failed!
Beth McClure outlined the unsung
progress of the class of °23 with the
clap of thunder at its close.

After the reminiscences of our
Alumnae, Elizabeth Lynn told of our
Stone Mountain Camp as the most
interesting event of the past year.
Elizabeth Norfleet, after asking Dr.

McCain’s pardon, gave us this choice |
bit: Edna Anderson had hidden be-|

hind main door and scared some girls
with such satisfactory results that
she determined to repeat the stunt.
Hearing some one coming, she jumped
out erying “Boo!” “How do you do,
M'am?” gravely rejoined our presi-

| dent.

Grace Clay spoke of her delight
on reaching Agnes Scott at last. She
had first heard of this college in far
Korea and had kept it as a goal for
many years.

Finally the resolution was adopted
that this gathering be written up for
the Agonistic and the alumnae paper,

Hottentot, and Whooper Up. When
the guests left, we promised to meet

Cosmopolitan A.S.C.

This year Agnes Scott, scorning her
former narrow limits, has chosen her
girls from both sides of the globe.
Among her daughters she boasts six
girls from Korea—one a real Korean

—Grace Chag; the Owen sisters,
Margaret Bull and Miriam Preston;
three girls from China—the Grier sis-
ters and Sara McFadgen; three from
Cuba; and one from India—Moag Fer-
guson.

Beside these girls from other lands
there are those from widely separat-
ed states: Edna Ackerman from Hol-
lywood, Calif.; Katherine Duncan
from New Mexico; Ruth Livermore,
from Oklahoma; Charlotte Sleayton,
from Vermont; and Mary Anne Mc-
Kinney, who is an old friend from
the Lone Star State. This. year we
have the broadening influence of
travel here on the campus, and we
hope to be much more sophisticated

his time in this country, and so most
of his literary efforts concern the
people of the United States.

It is a great opportunity for the
college community at Agnes Scott to
be favored with a visit from Prof.
Leacock, for he gives only a limited
number of lectures each season and it
is a privilege to have him on the se-

Alumnae News

The Atlanta Branch of the Agnes
Scott Alumnae Association held its
first meeting of this year on Tues-
day, September 16. An unusually
large number of graduates were in
attendance. Dr. McCain made the
opening address, and Miss Hopkins
graced the audience with her pres-
ence. The place of meeting was at
the home of Mrs. Harold Wey, ex-
president of the association. Delicious
refreshments were served.

Miss Emma Jones Smith (Mrs. H.
F.), of Montgomery, Ala., is on a
visit here at the Alumni House.

The many friends of Charlotte Kees-
ler (’23), of Greenwood, Miss., will
be interested to learn of her recent
marriage to Mr. Legrand Everett.

Mrs. Julia Heygood Cuthbertson
(20) has recently moved into her
new home which is next door to
Coma Burgess. She is at home to
her friends there.

Mrs. D. Little, nee Miss Aimee D.
Glover, has her residence in Marietta.

Miss Frances Charlotte Markley
(21) accompanied Miss Gibbons on
her tour of Europe this summer.

The marriage of Miss Annadown
Watson (’24) to Dr. Robert Crawford
Edwards, of Ft. Myers, Fla., was an-
nounced several weeks ago.

Mrs. Charles Franklin Hudson, nee
Miss Elizabeth Reviere, is at home
to her friends at Camp Benning, Ga.

Miss Cora L. Richardson, of Haw-
kinsville, holds the chair of history
this year in the high school at La-
fayette, Ga.

Miss Frances Whitfield (’21) heads

members. Both are assistants in the
English department.

Miss Annie Wilson Terry holds a
responsible position in the English
department of Greenville, Ala.

Miss Elizabeth Askew has charge
of the primary department at Tate,
Ga.

Y. W. C. A. Gives Tea For
Freshmen

The college community was invited
by the social committee of the Y. W.
C. A. to a tea, to be given in honor
of the new girls, in the summer home
on Friday afternoon at four-thirty.
Those who attended were able to say,
“I’m somebody, who are you?” and
to have their question answered, for
everyone wore his name pinned in a
conspicuous place. Making acquaint-
ances and drinking punch kept every-
one delightfully busy for an hour and
a half. Both the old and the new
girls were glad to meet Dr. and Mrs.
Good, who have just come to Agnes
Seott, and to see little Charles Me-
Cain, who rode up to the summer
house in his carriage. A vote of
thanks is due the Y. W. C. A. for ar-
ranging this delightful method for
the old and new girls to get ac-
quainted.

“All work and no play makes Jane
a dull girl.” Surely the founders of
the athletic association had this truth
in mind when they wrote the constitu-
tion years ago. At any rate since
the beginning this association has
taken care of the play element of
our college life just as efficiently as
Miss Laney and Miss Smith have the
labor question.

First of all there is the great big
rally with a sure enough bonfire.
Everyone snake-dances about the ath-
letic field; and such pep, you’ve never
seen! On this night we are introduced
to each sport individually, the respec-
tive managers greeting us with some
witty saying appropriate to her favor-
ite sport. This informal introduction
marks the beginning of a steadfast
friendship between students and the
athletic year. Many thrilling events
result.

During the fall months hockey holds
sway; then basketball follows the
Christmas holidays; and the spring
brings baseball and track, while ten-
nis and hiking may be enjoyed the
year round. The orchestra and the
rings which afford us a pleasant even-
ing each week are also under the
direction of the athletic association.
Camp-life, too, may be reveled in each
week-end,

“Pine Lodge,” a new asset to the
association, is situated near Stone
Mountain on a beautiful lake, Can you
imagine anything more glorious than
a Saturday and Sunday spent before
an open fire away from bells?

But all these joys could not be pos-
sible without the aid of our athletic
coaches. Miss Randolph and Miss
Haynes have been our own for some-
time, but this year we welcome a
new “gym’’ teacher, Miss Sinelaire,
into our midst. Even yet the associa-
tion could not be perfect without its
student officers. The athletic board
for the term 1924-25 is:

Emily Spivey, president.

Mary Keesler, vice president and
manager of tennis.

Eunice Kell, secretary.

Sarah Slaughter, treasurer.

Elizabeth Norfleet, orchestra lead-
er,

Helena Hermance, song leader.

sad plight when the lecture associa-
tion came to her rescue with balm
for the worried, untaught mind. Ver-
dena drank deeply of the fountain of
knowledge to which the renowned
visitors brought to Agnes Scott by
the Lecture Association enabled her
to turn her eager steps. After
gleaning quite an amount of varied
information from such distinguished
personages as DuBose Heyward, Jus-
tice Florence E. Allen and Princess
Dona Santa Borgless, Verdena had
become so enlightened that she ob-
tained her heart's desire. Her adored,
her beloved Ph. D. flopped, and
flopped with the longed-for certainty
of a lover, caught but blissful.

Moral: Buy a lecture ticket and be-
come intelligent and interesting.

the members of the sophomore com-

the Freshman class should abide for
the rest of the week. The following
rules and regulations were read aloud
by the Sonhomore president, Ellen

Fire Department
Organized

New Apparatus Demonstrated
to the Students

Hottentots need have no fear of
mighty conflagrations, for Elizabeth
Blalock, our fire chief for this year,
“looks well unto the ways of her
household.” “In time of peace, pre-
pare for war” is her slogan—or rather
learn how to get down to the lobby in
the dark when there is no fire; so if
any old bolshevist sticks a match to
your dormitory on some gloomy, dis-
mal night, you won’t have to cast your
maidenly modesty to the four winds
of the earth and slide down the banis-
ters. We all know the value, as well
as the necessity of fire drills; so we
must stand by our chief in spite of the
sneezes and stumped toes we shall
most certainly fall heir to on these
nocturnal parades.

The demonstration given back of
Main Building last Thursday after-
noon was of special interest to the fire
department and to the college com-
munity as a whole. New apparatus
was ably exhibited by men who came
out from Atlanta to show us how to
put out our fires in the latest, most
approved fashion. Our fire depart-
ment must be up-to-date, if it is to be
a success. We cannot depend on the
bucket brigade of yesterday.

Fire captains were elected in each
dormitory about a week ago in a rath-
er dramatic manner. At the silent
hour of midnight, the peace and rest
of the weary students was interrupted
by an unearthly noise. Clang! Clang!!
Clang!!! Girls hopped out of bed, and
‘kimonos and bed-room slippers were
in demand. Shivering, fussing, gig-
gling, jostling into one another, the
girls gained the lobby at last with
only a few bumped noses and
seratched fingers. They were in-
formed that a fire captain was to be
elected, and that nominations were in
order. Captains were elected for each
dormitory by the vote of the inmates,
and the girls trooped back to bed hop-
ing that the new captain wouldn't give
fire drills at such inconvenient times.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1924

Annual Sophomore Week Held
at Agnes Scott

Virginia Girls
Organize Club

Officers Elected and Interesting
Plans Made

The first meeting of the Virginia
Club was held Friday evening, Sep-
tember the nineteenth in room num-
ber one, on the fourth floor of main
building.

Its primary object was social, and
the decorations and amusements for
the occasion were unusual, all repre-
senting Virginia in some way. The
guests were met at the door by Mr.
and Mrs, Patrick Henry, and entered
to find the floor spread with confetti
which marked out the boundaries of
their state. Supper tables were placed
inside the state in the same position
as towns, and each girl found herself
once more back home. Patrick Henry
delivered a speech, quite as eloquent
as the one of yore, during the course
of the dinner which consisted of true
Virginia products: Smithfield ham,
and hot waffles. At the conclusion
of this dinner, all the guests danced
the renowned Virginia Reel to the
tune of “Turkey in the Straw.” The
evening ended with everyone singing
“Carry Me Back te Old Virginia.”

Even here at this social function,
however, business crept in. Officers
for the coming year were elected.
They are, Pocahontas Wight, presi-
dent, and Evelyn Sprinkle, secretary. |
Besides this, a decision was made to
write to the high schools in Virginia
and in this way interest Virginia girls
in Agnes Scott, For,this purpose the
members of this club are planning to
send out a pamphlet entitled, “Why
Virginia Girls Come to Agnes Scott.”
This pamphlet is to be divided into
four parts. The first tells something
of how much has been done by Vir-
ginians in founding Agnes Scott Col-
lege. Mrs. Gaines is from Virginia;
Dr. Gaines obtained more than one-
half of his earliest teachers from this
state, among them the late Dr. Ar-
mistead, Miss Hopkins, Miss Alex-
ander and Miss McKinney. Next, the
pamphlet wishes to tell what Virginia
girls have done, and sets forth these
facts: Out of the last five student
government presidents, Virginia was
the only state to have two, and the
same thing is true of the Y. W. C. A.;
out of six debates which have been
won by Agnes Scott, Virginia girls
were on four of the teams. Third, the
booklet gives the record of the col-
lege, and lastly, it explains the un-
usual attractions that Agnes Scott has
to offer to new students. This plan
has been heartily endorsed by Dr. Me-
Cain, who spoke of it last Tuesday

Miss MacDougall Is
Highly Honored

British Company to Publish
Thesis

The following is a very modest ac-
count of Miss MacDougall’s wonder-
ful discovery while doing research
work in Embryology. It is of so much
value to the scientific world that an
English publisher has asked that it
be given a place in the “Quarterly”
Journal of Microscopical Science.
This is one of the leading biological
publications and has a wide circulation
both abroad and in this country. Ag-
nes Seott should, and does, greatly
feel the honor that has come to Miss
MacDougall and to the college in hav-
ing her as one of our faculty mem-
bers—especially as she has refused
some very flattering offers in order
to come back to Agnes Scott.

Stephen Leacock
Popular Speaker

Lecture on “Frenzied Fiction”
Beth Amusing and Uplifting

With the coming of Mr. Stephen
Leacock to Agnes Scott, the lecture
association opened its annual program
by bringing to the college communi-
ty the lecturer who, we feel safe in
asserting, has won his place as the
most popular of all the many diver-
gent types of speakers whom it has
been our privilege to hear.

To those of us who had read any of
Mr. Leacock's works, his appearance
was doubly interesting, for there is
always a sense of achievement in
actually meeting the person whose ac-
quaintance we have already made
through some expression of that per-
sonality in a literary way. It was
this feeling on the part of his audi-
ence of pre-acquaintance with Mr.
Frank Swinnerton which heralded his
coming last year—and which led us,
most of us at least, to the very de-
lightful surprise of finding out that
the man as he is and as we had
imagined him are essentially different.
If Mr. Swinnerton could be so entire-
ly unlike his books, might not the
same be true of Mr. Leacock? We
hoped that it might not be, but still
there was the possibility of a similar
contrast—therefore did we await the
coming of Mr. Leacock with a natural
desire to hear him, augmented we
must admit by an unusual degree of
human curiosity and speculation as
to what he might prove to be.

The very subject of his lecture
“Frenzied Fiction”, ought to have been
proof enough of Mr. Leacock’s ability
to speak just as he writes—but still
there remained the apprehension that
he could not be as brimming ove.
with human when speaking as when

Freshmen Entertain
College Community
With Stunts

Freshmen Reveal Dramatic
Ability

After time honored custom, a week
was given to the Sophomores to teach
the Freshmen humility, and generally
bring them up in the way they ought
to go.

From September 18 to 20, this an-
cient custom was carried out.

The Freshmen in Main entertained
the College Community Thursday
night with a stunt, “The Lighthouse
Tragedy”, under the management of
stage dirctor Emily Kingsbury. As
the title of the stunt suggests, it was
indeed a tragic performance, acted
out in pantomine. There were all the

elements needéd for a tragedy, a,

heroine, a hero, and a villain. It is
with great joy that the spectators
witnessed the death of the villain,
struck down in hi sevil doing at the
(hands of the hero, and the beautiful

ends.

The characters were:

Light house Keeper, Elizabeth Cole.

Hero, Bill Keith.

Heroine, Louise Sydnor.

Villain, Jack Anderson.

Doctor,

Nurse, Louise Therfeesee.

Friday night, by the order of the
Sophomores, was set aside for a stunt
to be given by the Freshmen for the
entertainment of the Sophomores, Nell
Hillhouse being given charge.

While the players were pasting on
goatees and practicing deep bass
voices, which are commonly believed
to be masculine, the Hardboiled Quar-
‘tette composed of Jesse Hoffman,
Miriam Anderson, Grace McLauren,
and Mabel Robeson playing the gui-
tar, forcefully gave vent to their
feelings by singing “The Freshman
Blues,” written by Mabel Robeson, a

Miss Hearon Speaks on Menaces
to Constitution

As the United States has set aside

September 13-20 for observance of
“Constitution Week"', the Chapel pe-
riod Thursday was given over to a
discussion of our Constitution by
Miss Hearon, head of the History De-
partment.
\ There are three dangerous attitudes
koward the Constitution, Miss Hearon
said, which are prevalent today. One
attitude is that the Constitution is
no longer needed because it hinders
our development. Those advocating
the discard of the Constitution seek to
substantiate their arguments by
pointing to the fact that England is
not hampered by a written constitu-
tion, and that the will of the English
people can manifest itself without
restriction. But they forget that
England is small, fairly homogenious
and old enough to have established
customs and traditions which guide
her. In fact, this unwritten body of
traditions causes England to make
slower changes, as a rule, than any
country which is bound by a written
Constitution. The United States,
moreover, extends over a large area,
and is a young country, made up of
a diversity of people, whose tradi-
tions have not become so firmly fixed
as those in England. As conditions
are different in the two countries,
the same institutions are not practical
for both,

Another attitude is that the Consti-
tution is an iniquitous document,
written for a small group, and that
the government under it is in the in-
terests of the few. The “Reds” who
hold this opinion would not only abol-
ish our Constitution but overthrow
our government as well. Their me-
nace is a recognized one, and is not
as great as that of the “Conserva-
tives”.

They regard the Constitution as an
object of reverence, which should be
altered under no conditions. They do
not seem to realize that lack of
change will mean ossification. “Con-
servatism,” according to Profes-
sor Cheyney, “with a curious inver-
sion of its intention, brings about the
destruction of the group of fixed in-
stitutions it wishes to preserve. It has
only been the amendment and the
stretching of the Constitution that
have enabled us to survive politically
under it. Elasticity, adoptiveness,
capacity to conform to change, are

“Grandmothers” To

Tonight

Party Will

Freshmen, attention! A good time
is in store for you this Saturday night
at eight o’clock. Your grandmothers,
attired as becomes their elderly dig-
nity, are going to take you to a most
delightful party in the gym. You are
to wear the clothes you wore when
you were very little girls, with socks,
hair-ribbons, and short dresses, or, if
you prefer, you may go as little boys.
There will be interesting games for
you to play, and stories told that will
delight the heart of every child pres-
ent. There will also be refreshments
appropriate for your youthful age.

The Sophomores will tell you what
a fine time they had last year. Mrs.
Sydenstricker was there to tell them
charming stories, and after playing
many amusing games, they danced un-
til 9:30, when their grandmothers
rushed them home to bed, as this was
{a late hour for the little folks.

Constitution Week|

Honors for Year 1923-24

Nineteen Students Win Dis-
tinction

The feeling of excitement was al-
most as great in Chapel Friday morn-
ing as it is when those making Gam-
ma Tau are announced or when the
Seniors are invested. The occasion
was the making public of the names
of those girls whose scholastic record
last year was excellent. As the mem-
bers of the faculty wore their acade-
wmic robes and sat upon the stage
an impressiveness was lent to the
Chapel which it has only on special
occasions.

Dr. McCain explained that it had
been decided to announce each year
the names of those students who had
done exceptionally well in their stud-
ies for the year. The names of the
Seniors are made known at Com-
mencement, and those of the under-
classmen in the fall following. In
times past, students have been ad-
mitted to Gamma Tau who have
maintained a high average through-
out their four years, and met other
requirements. But there have always
been students who on account of
maladjustments during their first
year, sickness, or some other reason,
have failed to reach the same stan-
dard in some year that they hold to
during other years. It was desired
that some recognition be made of
these students, who certainly deserve
eredit.

Blackfriars Begin
Year’s Work

“Midsummer-Night’s Dream” to
Be Given This Fall

Blackfriars has started its year’s:
work with its accustomed pep. Al-
ready committees have been appointed
for the year; and plans for the fall
plays have been nearly perfected. The
first meeting of the organization was
held on Friday, September 19th, in
Demosthenean Hall. The president,
Miss Mary Ben Wright, thanked the
members of the club for the honor
they had bestowed upon her, and “took
the oath of office” by promising to up-
hold the purpose of the club. She
then appointed certain committees,
and announced that at the next meet-
ing, Friday, October 3rd, Miss Frances
Amis, ex-president of Blackfriars,
would address the club. The treas-
urer’s report was unusually encourag-
ing, showing a balance in the bank
of about one hundred and fifty dollars.
It is interesting to note in this connec-
tion that last fall Blackfriars began
the year with a debt of twenty dollars.

Miss Frances K. Gooch, director of
Blackfriars, gave an interesting talk
on the presentation of “Midsummer-
Night’s Dream” by the Shakesperean
players at Stratford-on-Avon. Miss
Gooch had the good fortune to see this
play while visiting England this sum-
mer. She said that the interpreta-
tions of characters were quite similar
to those given by our girls last spring,
with a few notable exceptions. Among
the exceptions was Puck, who was
dressed in green from head to foot,
and presented in a mean, rather than
mischievous, light.

Miss Gooch’s talk led to a discus-
sion of what should be done with
“Midsummer-Night’s Dream” as
worked up by Blackfriars for the com-
mencement play last spring, 1924, and
the spring before, 1923. Both times |
rain prevented the performance of the
play. It was unanimously decided
that, in justice to the caste, the play
should be presented at some time dur-
ing this year; and that the presenta-
tion of such a drama as “Midsummer-
Night’s Dream” in the fall would give
a fine boost to Blackfriars’ 1924-’25

PROFESSOR HEATH TO TEACH
“LOCAL FLORA”

Mr. Heath Is Frem the “Northwest-
ern University.”

"Among the interesting things that
have happened in the Biology Depart-
ment this year is the addition of a
new course—a course in Local Flora.
Professor E. S. Heath, an authority
on the flora of this region, is going
to teach the course, which will be of-
fered the second semester.

Prof. Heath taught last year at the
Northwestern University. This winter
he is writing a monograph on the
flora of Stone Mountain. This course
will make a very vital addition to the
Biology Department and it is expected
that many students will take advan-
tage of it.

“9. Freshmen must stand with
heads bowed when an upperclassman
enters the room, especially the din-
ing rooms.

“10. Freshmen must appear on
the campus attired in light dresses,
on backwards; said dress to be covered
with middy blouse, on backwards. Col-
lar of said middy blouse must be cov-

ered with rubber bib. The cranium |

of each freshman must be adorned
with seven plaits down the middle
of the forehead and must be covered
with a baby cap. Dark hose striped
with chalk, rubbers, name placards
suspended by green ribbon will com-
plete the costume.

“11. Freshmen are subject to the
slightest wish of any sophomore.”

Thursday morning found all fresh-
men getting out of bed before day-
light in order to get their costumes
adequately adjusted. At the break-
fast table they entertained with
verse and song, some of them even
reluctantly admitting that they were
“s_j-m-p-l-e m-i-n-d-e-d!” Though the
sophomores exercised much mental
exertion in keeping the freshmen oc-
cupied, they certainly did not exert
themselves physically; for every
morning their room was swept for
them, their beds made up, their fur-
niture polished by the unfortunate
lowerclassmen.

On Thursday night the freshmen
of Main Building entertained the com-
munity with a delightful little stunt,
“The Lighthouse.” Inman and White-
House freshmen performed on Friday
night.

The climax came on Friday night.
At eleven o'clock, when all good
freshmen were sound asleep mysteri-
ous shrouds were stealing silently
across the campus, creeping up stair-

ways, scattering alarm and fear every- |

where. “The Sophomore Raid!” was
the general exclamation. The terror
of the freshmen was indeed amusing.
Some hung up in closets in their
laundry bags, others rolled into dark
corners under the bed—anything to
escape the dreaded hand of the soph-

, come.

A few years ago the authorities of Dartmouth College made
a careful survey of the grades received by its students during the
preceding ten years. As a result of that survey, Dartmouth now
expects twenty-five per cent of its students to receive a grade of
A or B, fifty per cent to receive a grade of C, and twenty-five
per cent to receive a grade of D or E.

What do these figures mean? Well you can look at them
with joy or sorrow, just as you wish. If you are an optimist, you
will probably say, “Fine! Seventy-five per cent of the students
do acceptable work or better.” But if you are a pessimist, you
will undoubtedly say, “Shades of Socrates! Seventy-five per cent
of the students do mediocre work or worse.”

So far as the intellectual standards and capacities of the
undergraduates are concerned I am a pessimist. Seventy-five per
cent of them do mediocre work or worse. At Dartmouth College
one quarter of the undergraduates do work that is worse than C,
and half of them do work that is no better.

Remember, please, that in using Dartmouth as an example,
I am not using a college with an inferior student body. Dart-
mouth picks its students with considerable care, and, everything
considered, there are probably not half a dozen colleges in the
country that have better material from which to pick. Dartmouth
certainly belongs to the upper flight of colleges, and while its
demands upon its students are not very great, they are excessive
in comparison with the demands made by the vast majority of
American colleges.

In other words, the students at Dartmouth College and the
standards of Dartmouth College are very superior to the stand-
ards and students of most of our colleges; yet, although the
standards of Dartmouth are not at all severe, fifty per cent of its
students do mediocre work and twenty-five per cent do work
that is worse than mediocre. You can draw your own conclusions
about the work that is being done in the lesser colleges.

The result is, of course, that the intellectual standards of our
undergraduates are low—and they are low for the good and simple
reason that not even half of the undergraduates have minds
capable of understanding or reaching standards that are high.
Granted that most of the teaching is bad, granted that some
intelligent undergraduates are indolent, the fact still remains
that most of the undergraduates have not the mental capacity
ever to attain intellectual superiority—Percy Marks, The Edu-
cational Number of the Bookman, September, 1924.

stage, his eyes twinkling, his whole
being radiating geniality—our mis-
givings promptly subsided—anyone
with a smile like that could not help
being, so we “settled ourselves” for
an hour’s enjoyment, and were im-
mediately plunged into such a de-
lightful hour as few of us will soon
forget.

Sketching rather rapidly and wholly
without undue praise to himself his
early dramatic successes in such roles
as “the groan within,” “the crash
without”, Mr. Leacock carried us to
his most eventful dramatic appear-
ance in which he, being the noblest
piece of ice afloat (in a scene from
“Uncle Tom’s Cabin”) was duly re-
warded for his diligence in the little
things and achieved promotion to the
stellar role—that of the hound—a
role which has made famous not only
Mr. Leacock but many another actor.
What an uplifting moral effect such
a life of struggle has upon the audi-
ence! And therein lies one of his
charms—not only is he amusing, but
uplifting as well—he himself says so.

After proving his ability as an
influential factor in the lives of his
hearers, Mr. Leacock took up the
various forms of modern fiction—in-
eluencing profoundly our views on
the subject. At the close of his lec-
ture, we were all preparing to write—
what? oh, anything—something of
the buckets-of-blood variety, with
crime, crime, crime penetrating it,
without the usual “woman in the
case”, and with strict devotion to the
new school of verbs, enveloping such
choice extracts as “She iced”, “he
‘groused” and others—and about all
things else adhering closely to all
the peculiarities of Ibsen as a dra-
matist. Only by doing this can we
hope to become great authors. With
a closing injunction to us not to be
content to be chunks of ice, but to
be satisfied only with being the
hounds of this world, and an exhorta-
tion to cling to all that is modern and
worthless in this age of “Frenzied
Fiction”, Mr. Leacock left us ponder-
ing over these weighty problems of
our time, and thoroughly enjoying
this meditation.

school, so you will feel at home! The
Y. W. hones to have a good Sunday

‘school, so those who are interested and

want to keep up the old home habits,
‘nere are to be two classes,
one for the freshmen and one for the
old girls. This isn’t discrimination
against the freshmen—dear me, no;
the old girls are just afraid their
knowledge will receive a shock when
placed beside freshmen’s. Sunday
school is to be right after breakfast,
so it will be easy to go there and then
get drese2d in time for church.
There are also new plans for Eve-
ning Watch. The meetings are to be
turned into discussion groups led by
girls who have made a special study
of the question. In this way we hope
Evening Watch will be a more per-
sonal thing to the girls. At the first
meeting there is to be a discussion of
what topic we shall take up. Then
we hope to launch out on our discus-

sions. We hope this will prove very
interesting to everyone. At least give
it a trial!

“WEEK-ENDERS” AT PINE
LODGE

Pine Lodge was this past week-
end again packed to its capacity with
jolly campers. These campers, how-
ever, unlike the ones who have in-
habited the lodge so far this year,
had no Y. W. C. A. programs or
Silhouettes to plan, but were merely
out for a good time. Having been
at school one whole week, they
thought they needed to get away
from work and enjoy the freedoms
of nature, so, of course, they decided
to spend the week-end at Pine Lodge.
It was a grand and glorious day—not
rainy or cold, for a wonder, so much
fun was had swimming in the pond
and hiking up Stone Mountain. Late
in the evening the girls gathered to-
gether and sang songs until it was
time to climb into bed—or rather tc
pull out the mattresses. The party
chaperoned by “the new gymn teach-
er,” whom some of us have finally
learned to call Miss Sinclair, was com-
posed of: E. Albright, E. Jacobson,

Alumnae News

Especial interest is always felt in
our “newest” alumnae, and this year
it is pleasing to note how many of
the graduates of last term are en-
geged in the teaching profession.
Some, however, have found work else-
where, and have entered into fields of
usefulness along many lines. It al-
ways gives us pleasure to recognize in
our paper the attainment of any mem-
ber of the Agnes Scott Alumnae As-
sociation, and we would appreciate the
co-operation of that association by
giving us any information concerning
A. S. C. graduates.

Miss Victoria Howie is professor of

‘Latin at Union, South Carolina.

Miss Janice Brown is teaching Latin
and History this year at Honea Path,
South Carolina.

Miss Mary Greene holds the chair
of English at Honea Path, South

Miss Polly Stone, who has an im-
portant position with the Atlanta

able body of men who had learning,

remembered that many conipromises
had to be inade before its completion.
But when completed, it provided for
a government adequate to the con-

since then on account of its adapta-

it has shown itself capable of chang-

The Juniors of last year whose
year’s scholastic attainment ap-

Before announcing the names of
the six freshmen, Dr. McCain stated
that it is an unusual thing for stu-
dents to do as well their freshman
year as they do later. Frances Buch-

her), Isabel Clarke, Juanita Greer,

scintillating intellects floating around
us, there’s no telling what we won’t
do!

FRESHMEN ELECT CHAIRMAN

It has always been the custom at
Agnes Scott College for the Sopho-
mores to pit their wit against the
Freshmen. To the one who puts or
the best stunt a bronze cat is donated,
vas a signal recognition of their prow-
ess.

On Monday night, September 18,
after prayers, the Freshmen met in
the Propeleyan room to elect a chair-
man. Ted Wallace, Nell Hillhouse,
Jack Anderson, and Ada Knight were
nominated. These girls were asked
to leave ‘the room, while enthusiastic
friends extolled their good qualities.

After two ballots, Jack Anderson
was declared elected. The Freshmen
greeted their returning heroine with
a cheer, and cries of “Speech!
Speech!” resounded from all sides.
Jack Anderson responded with a plea
for help and ideas from the Freshmen
and the meeting was adjourned.

Pi Alpha Phi fired her opening gun
Thursday, October 2, beginning the
long debating war which is to end

in a double victory for Agnes ‘Scott |

against Randolph-Macon and Soph-
ie Newcomb, next spring. But in

order that we may win this struggle, }

thorough preparations must be made;

je arsenals must be stored full and
"guarded; the cannon mustbe cleaned;
the soldiers, and in particular our six
commanding officers must be trained
to perfection.
Phi has dedicated herself during 1924-
25.

Pi Alpha Phi held its first meeting
or the year in the Propylean Hali,
October 2nd. An unusually large num-
ber of the members were present. E1-
Jen Walkef> the president, opened the
meeting with a graceful speech, out-
lining the aims and purposes of the)
organization. The office of vice-presi-
dent had to be refilled since Olive
Hall, who had held it, did not return
to school,

Olivia Swann was unanimously
elected to fill the place.

As the first move toward replenish-
ing our broken ranks in preparation
for our first campaign the fall try-
outs were announced for Monday,
October 13. Only upper classmen may
try at this time; but the freshmen
will be given a chance later.

Other plans were discussed, after
which the club, turning from business
to pleasure, gave itself over to a so-

Talks in Chapel

Mrs. Smith Talks On Life Work
and Service

The Agnes Scott community during
the past week enjoyed a series of in-
spirational talks by Mrs. Hazen
Smith, Life Work Secretary for the
Southern Presbyterian Church. Mrs.
Smith has been visiting the various
colleges and discussing with the stu-
dents their special problems. As she
is an Agnes Scott girl, she was glad
to be here again, and gave us a little
over a week of her valuable time.
Mrs. Smith is better known to the
faculty and to those students whose
relatives were here when she was in
school as “Ruth Slack, ‘Crip’ Slack’s
sister.’’*

Sincé she graduated’ from Agnes
Scott in 1912, Mrs. Smith has spent
several years in China engaged in
welfare work. We learned much from
her talks about’the aspects of Chinese
life which are little known in America.
‘To make us conversant with the
ways of “the heathen Chinee” or the
Christian one either, however, was not
the main purpose of her speeches.
She emphasized the importance of de-
ciding on.a life work and of having
an aim to guide our actions. Al-
though she did not urge that we be-
.come missionaries to foreign coun-
tries, she did call to our attention the
uedt we owe to our Maker and bring
to our consideration the problem of
paying it. After hearing her, we real-
ized what a preparation we have for
a life of service and the many oppor-
tunities open to us of helping bring
about a better state of things, if we
are only willing to avail ourselves of
them. Her chief arguments were
against our allowing ourselves to drift
along as the current takes us, without
facing issues squarely, without con-
sulting older people, without praying
for guidance. There is a life work
for each one of us, in the accomplish-
ment of which we can do the most
good and reach our fullest develop-
ment. It is for us to seek for it and
decide on it.

On September 25, less fortunate
girls gazed with enyy upon the chos-
en few who were dressed up to go
somewhere. These were the mem-
bers of B. O. Z., all ready to go to
Mrs. Dieckmann’s for their first
meeting—of course, anyone who visits
that cozy brick house has a good
time as all old girls know—the fact
that Polly Stone was a visitor added
much gaiety and enjoyment to the
gathering for Polly is a joy anywhere.

Larsen Mattox’s story, “It Works
Both Ways”, was the only one read.
Good fellowship and Mrs. Dieck-
mann’s delicious refreshments made
up for the scarcity of tales. The hot
chocolate, sandwiches, salted almonds
and mints were a feast for hungry
college girls.

During the meeting, plans for the

upon. The stories may be of any kind

Freshen Dickie College
Life On Mars

Miss Laney Awards Cat

“Once there was a big black cat;
glory be to the Sophomores!” And
once upon a time this coveted animal
sat upon the table of this year’s
Junior Class, but that is only a be-
ginning of the fairy tale. For the
envious Sophomores were determined
upon the possession of the dusky kit-
ty and succeeded last Saturday night
to snatch from the hands of their
opponents the most distinguished ani-
mal of modern times.

The annual Freshman-Sophomore
stunt is always the outstanding event
of the first semester. This year it was
truly a contest of wits, for each stunt
was remarkable for its cleverness,
originality, and characterization. Each
too, was the result of much earnest
effort and labor and was. enshrined
with that atmosphere of distinctness
which always marks a good stunt.

Long »efore the appointed tour
both parties had gathered in the
chapel to do their part in “pepping
things up”. With Ada Knight and
Helena Hermance cheering the fresh-
man team, and with Evelyn, Powell
and Martha Lin Manley urging for-
ward the Sophomores, it was almost
impossible to decide which class was
winner in the yelling contest. In fact,
the shouts and songs of both, sides
were so intermingled, that it was dif-
ficult to distinguish “which was
which.”

The freshman stunt, written by the
able hand of Mary Revier, was pre-
sented first. Under the title of “Mar-
Can Bes vele™, AMise eturit’ Cndeuvored
to relate the experiences of a fresh-
man at the “Mares Sirenium College”
on Mars.

The cast of characters follows:

Freshman from Earth, Louise Sny-
dor,

Freshman from Mars, Edna Acker-
man.

Sophomores from Mars, Lila Por-

Banner Bearers, Mary Crenshaw,
Josephine Huntley, Carolyn Essig,
Elizabeth Wallace.

Miss Hootch, Mary Revier.

Dancers, Katherine Richards, Emi-
ly Cope, Eliza Rainey, Mary Mackey
Hough, Nancy Crowther.

After several minutes of intermis-
sion, during which yells and songs
were featured the sophomore stunt
was staged. This stunt was the work
of Caroline McKinney and Caroline
McCall. It was most unique in theme
and in presentation. The stunt was
a short burlesque on the book “Alice
in Wonderland.” It was rich with
humor, sarcasm, and wit. Alice, an
unfortunate member of the freshman
band, is shown in the first scene down
in the rabbit hole, trying vainly to
make bargains on with Mr.
Tart. Her next appearance in the
Red Queen’s Rat Court, where she

Conference in Richmond

Classical Club Holds
First Meeting

Miss Campbell Gives Lecture
On Rome and Greece

The Classical Club held its first
meeting for this year in the Mnemosy-
nean Hall last Friday evening, Sep-
tember 24. After the meeting had
been called to order by Mary Palmer
Caldwell, the president, Clarkie Davis
gave a report from the nominating
committee. The suggested nomina-
tions were unanimously approved,
and the other officers elected for th2
ensuing year were: Margaret Hyatt,
vice-president; Margaret Hines, sec-
retary and treasurer; Sara Fullbright,
chairman of the progrdm committee.

The business part of the meeting
was soon dispensed with, and then
came the most enjoyable part of the
evening. Miss Campbell, professor
of Latin and Greek, who has been
touring Europe this summer, gave a
very entertaining lecture. She had se-
cured slides for the lecture in order
that we might see, as well as hear of,
the places she ha dvisited. As we sat
the places she had visited. As we sat
the pictures and hearing descriptions
of the places, it was easy to give full
play to the imagination and find our-
selves gliding over the sparkling blue
water at Venice, that famous city of
the sea, while we listened to the
broken speech of the old Italian who
was guiding tile ‘boat.

soul but be filled with the beauty and |

majesty of the ancient world?
Despite the wonders of Venice,
Rome, of necessity, held more interest
for the classical student. Rome, with
its ruins of temples and highways,
with its world-known Tiber and its
glamour of ancient glory, was a place
of fascination. The Tiber, Miss
Campbell assured us, was not the
dirty, yellow, little stream that we had
always imagined it to be. It was small,
to be sure, but in color it was a beau-
tiful, silvery olive-green like the

leaves of the gnarled old olive trees;

which grew on the hillsides. Miss
Campbell also told of the excavations

|near Ostia, the port of Rome.

Calendar of Events for
October

Seniors te Entertain College on
Hallowe’en

October 4th, Saturday Night—The
Freshmen and Sophomores staged
their annual battle of wits.

October 11th—Miss Gooch says
she is going to give the weather an-
other trial for a suitable night on
which to present “Midsummer Night’s
Dream”. This play was to have been
given during commencement week last
year, but on account of the fact that
the rain prevented the performance
of the play at both the appointed
dates, it proved to be “Love’s Labor
Lost.” If the weather is too inclem-
ent on October 11th, there will be
“Much Ado About Nothing”, and the
play will be postponed until October
13th. There will be only two changes
in the cast of characters. Isabelle
Clark will take Mary Palmer Cald-
well’s pace as Hyppolytas, and Fran-
ces Harwell, of the class of ’23, Har-
riett Ferrington’s place as the Fairy
Queen. Miss Gooch is very much
pleased with the enthusiasm with
which the cast is taking up the re-
hearsals, and believes that each role
will be played with more artistic real-
ization,

October 18th—The Night of Octo-
ber the 18th is to be given over for
Hoase Stunt night. There will be thir-
teen stunts, and each will be spon-
sored by a member of Hoasce.

October 25th.—On October the 25th,
the Senior Class plans to entertain the
college community at a Hallow’een
party given in Inman attic. Every-
one is advised to take on a good dose
of steady nerves and go to meet the
hobgobblins, have your fortune told,

EDITORIAL

THE AGNES SCOTT SPIRIT.

There is nothing more elusive, nothing more difficult to ex-
press in words, and yet, nothing of more vital importance or of
greater value to a college than its spirit. Perhaps, greater than
all other gifts to the college, was the gift of the example of the

_ life and spirit of Mrs. Agnes Scott in whose honor Agnes Scott

was founded and for whom the college was named. Mrs. Scott
in her life has given to us an example of-what Agnes Scott Spirit
should be. If it were possible to express this spirit in words we
might say that the Agnes Scott Spirit was embodied in the three
words, Faith, Love, and Service.

Built upon the rocks of Agnes Scott’s faith the “Spirit House”
of Agnes Scott had a firm foundation. Upon this foundation of
solid faith, material of love and service have been placed by those
who have labored and, we think have succeeded, well, in making
Agnes Scott stand or the highest principles of honor; and for those
things which are finest and best in the young womanhood of

' America, today.

We feel that this spirit of Agnes Scott is having an influence
today far greater and wider than it is possible for anyone to re-
alize. For each girl, though she may have spent only a year or
two at Agnes Scott, has carried away with her this ideal of Faith,
and Love, and Service to make life better for those with whom
she has lived since her college days.

This spirit of Agnes Scott seems to be embodied in a prayer
of Mrs. Agnes Scott, written over a hundred years ago, in 1821.

May we, the students of Agnes Scott, today, hold dear this
gift of priceless value, and pass it on to those who may come after
us in these same words of Mrs. Agnes Scott.

“Oh, Almighty and most merciful God, I desire to draw near
to Thee. I confess and lament before Thee the many transgres-
sions of my life; I have indeed left undone the things I ought to
have done. Oh, give me true and deep repentance; oh give me
faith to believe Thy Holy Word and to accept Thy gracious invi-
tations and to rely upon Thy precious promises. For the sake of
Thy dear Son, pardon all my sins and receive me graciously as Thy
child, and may Thy Holy Spirit renew and sanctify my heart.

Oh Lord be with me, and guide me and help and strengthen
me now and always. Though I am sinful and unworthy, yet let
me hope in the Lord with whom there is mercy. May I be enabled
prudently to steer my course through all difficulties in my way;
give me patience and courage to withstand all assaults and oppo-
sition which I have to encounter. And the children, oh my God,
which Thou hast given me and those that ought to be under my
direction, I return unto Thee. May they know Thee and be known
by Thee; and I pray Thee, oh Lord, to grant unto them the con-
tinued help of Thy Holy Spirit, that they may be preserved from
sin and may become faithful in any good work. May they be
temperate, sober, and diligent; may they learn to command their
tempers and restrain their tongues; may they be kind and mer-
ciful to each other even as they hope that God for Christ’s sake
will forgive them. Let my imperfect prayer be answered. Hear
these my petitions, oh grant, Father, for Thy mercy’s sake in
Christ Jesus our Saviour, to whom with the Holy Spirit I aseribe
all praise forever. Amen.”

GLEE CLUB PLANS FOR YEAR.

Plan Seyeral Short Trips for This
Season.

The Glee Club was one of the first
organizations on the campus to begin
work for the coming year. A meet-
ing of the old members was held, and
later try-outs for new members. As
yet the names of the new members
have not been made public, but it is
expected that a large number of new
voices will be added to the chorus.

For the first time in its history the
Agnes Scott Glee Club went on a
trip to give a concert last spring.
This concert was such a success, how-
ever, that the club is planning to go
on several short trips and give con-
certs this year. As yet, however, the
program for the year has not been
fully made.

GRANDMOTHER PARTY GREAT
SUCCESS.

The Freshmen ordinarily look young
and untutored enough, but if you had
seen them in the gym that night, all
dressed up in enormous bows of rib-
bon, tiny short dresses, and socks, and
hugging little dolls, honestly, you
couldn't have told them from your
kid sisters. But, never mind, they
were having a good time. And so,
by the way, were their grandmothers,
the dignified, gray-haired, lavender
and old-laced Seniors and Juniors. For
this, you know, was the grandmother
party.

The features of the evening de-
signed to entertain the little tots were
story-telling by Mrs. Hazen Smith,
life work secretary of the Southern
Presbyterian Church, dancing by
Frances Tennent and Emily Cope, and
singing by Frances Bitzer and Mar-
tha Lin Manly. Lolly-pops and ap-
ples, the children’s favorites, were
served.

Pictures taken of the grandmother
party are now on sale and may be
obtained by signing up on the bulle-
tin board in Main.

MRS. SYDENSTRICKER GIVES
TEA FOR MRS. SMITH

Bible Majors Meet Mrs. Smith

One of the most delightful of the
various informal parties given for
Mrs. Hazen Smith, was a tea at Mrs.
Sydenstricker’s house at West Side on
Friday afternoon, Sept. 26, at four-
thirty o’clock. At this time, Mrs.
Sydenstricker invited her Bible ma-
jors to meet Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Smith
told them many interesting stories of
her travels and experiences in China,
and the girls had an opportunity to
talk with her and ask her questions
about her work. Then tea and cake
were served by Mrs. Sydenstricker.
All the girls were delighted to have
this opportunity of becoming ac-
quainted with Mrs. Smith, who, since
her arrival on September 25, has won
the heart of every Agnes Scott girl.

K. U. B. PLANS YEAR'S WORK.
TRY-OUTS HELD.

K. U. B. held its first meeting of
the year on Thursday, October 2nd.
Plans for this year’s work were re-
ported by the president, Miss Eliza-
beth Griffin. The club has contracted
to report weekly for the three At-
lanta papers, the “Journal’’, the “Con-
stitution”, and the “Georgian”, the
Decatur paper, two Macon papers and
one from Augusta. The Atlanta papers
are to be furnished weekly with long
articles giving the week’s most im-
portant news, and all during the week
with shorter articles and notices.
These newspapers, of course, pay K.
U. B. for material, just as they do
other reporters. So the organization,
as well as being an important factor
in bringing our college before the peo-
ple of the South, is remunerative fi-
nancially, It also affords excellent
training for girls interested in jour-
nalism.

K. U. B., having so much work to
do, needs new members. Try-outs are
accordingly being held now and all
who are interested in journalism are
urged to try their hands.

TEA ROOM OFFERS SPECIAL
DINNERS.

The tea room now offers a special
dinner daily for fifty cents. Watch
the bulletin board for announcement
of change of menu.

YW... A

On Sunday, October 5, was held one
of the most beautiful Y. W. C. A.

services of the year—Recognition
Services. After an inspiring talk by
Frances Lincoln, the Freshmen,

dressed in white and carrying candles,
walked down the aisle and lighted the
candles by that of the president. This
is a symbol of the light which the
Y. W. C. A. hopes to hand on to every
girl on the campus. It is a symbol
of the light which it hopes every girl
will hand on to others when once she
has received it.

There seems to have been a good

start made along this line, for num-
bers of girls have signed up for the

various fields of social service. Keep
up the good work, girls, the lines you
have chosen all need you and the |
Y. W. appreciates your co-operation |
along this line.

The Student Industrial work is soon
to be begun. The city Y. W. has
moved into a new home, so they have
not become sufficiently straight for
us to begin this work in the next week
or so, but when it does begin we hope
to have a great deal of news for you.

In regard to the new Y. W. home—
they are in need of things to add to
the beauty and hominess of the place.
They have a house with lovely home-
like rooms, open fires and easy chairs,
but there are many things lacking.
If any girls have vases, table covers
or any other articles which would
help a house become a home, please
bring them to 25 Rebekah and they
will be taken to the right place.

PLANS FOR “SILHOUETTE.”

Annual to Come Out on July 15th.

Miss Marjorie Speake, editor of the
“Silhouette”, brought before the stu-
dent body recently the question of
what kind of dress students having
individual pictures in the annual
should be required to wear when the
photographs are taken. It was de-
cided by vote that street 7
should be worn.

aa

It was also agreed by vote ‘on in|

order to include in the annual May
Day pictures, debaters’ pictures, ete.
(those activities coming after April
ist) the material should not be sent
to press until May ist and the annual
expected on July 15th.

The “Silhouette” for this year prom-
ises to be unusually good. Among
the new pictures introduced will be
individual pictures for the Freshmen.

CLASSICAL CLUB HOLDS FIRST
MEETING.
(Continued from Page 1, Column 4)

Athens could not be left out, so we
heard some interesting bits of infor-
mation about the “Classic City.” It
would seem to us that the people of
that fair city do things backwards.
The children, when crying a greet-
ing would say, “I soi, I soi” (Idou),
but instead of waving their hands to
the person whom they welcomed they
waved to themselves. It was inter-
esting also to learn of the street cars
in Athens. What an anachronism!

Miss Campbell’s lecture was humor-
ous as well as instructive, for she told
of quite a few amusing incidents that
occurred during her travels. The eve-
ning passed all too quickly. We all
sincerely hope that Miss Campbell
will tell us more about her trip some
time in the future.

DAY STUDENT
NEWS

Every class of freshmen holds much
of interest to the onlookers from the

sophomore, junior and senior side
lines. Some from the present class
of ’28 belong to the first syllable of
their acquired title for one year
fresh—and one reason is this—One
calmly strolled up to a certain mem-
ber of the faculty and asked her if
she was scared of the sophomores
and added that she didn’t exactly re-
semble a wearer of the green! And
another one actually demanded of a
staid and haggard looking senior how
she knew so positively that the sopho-
mores weren’t responsible for trying
to force payment for mail boxes—
and accused her of being a member
of the class of ’27! But these are pit-
falls into which any one of us might
have been ensnared.

Some lamentations really are sad!
Mary Smith is bemoaning her fate
that in one week she has had only
two specials and one “ordinary” letter
from the University of North Caro-
lina! Of course, if Mary has any ob-
jections about the number, she might
let one of the rest of us read them
if she hasn’t the time to do it herself.
And Ruth Liggin, now a Georgia
Peach of Decatur, receives a letter
from Atlanta every day—and it isn’t
an advertisement either, though it
may be classed in the Want Ad col-
umn.

We had hoped there was no gap be-
tween the day students and the board-
ing students, but according to Emily
Zellars there is a huge one, and she
wants everyone to help fill it up by
giving gold papers and glee to

report from the one already ti
sounds mighty cniieiiacags ‘at
praises of the hike leader are soar-
ing aloft to Olympus. Keep on the
lookout for the others—and if you
go on these marches you can be sure
that Louise Bansley will give you just
the best possible time.

in the afternoon Miss Randolph, Hel-

another expedition, proud of a boat
that did not leak.

SOPHOMORES PRESENT BUR-
LESQUE ON ALICE IN
WONDERLAND
(Continued from Page 1, Column 3)

Douglass Leyburn, president of the
Sophomore class, presented the fresh-
men with a bag containing over six-
teen hundred pennies which had been

collected as fees for Hoasc, chapel |

seats, date space, etc. The freshmen
seemed to feel quite repaid for their
generous efforts towards the better-
ment of the college.

All this time the three judges, Miss
Hale, Miss Howson, and Miss Laney,

were struggling to decide which class
deserved the black cat, and after a
short while came to an unanimous de-
cision in favor of the Sophomores.

It was the end of a perfect day for
the Sophomores. They gave evidence
of their enthusiasm and delight by
forming a snake chain and dancing all
over the campus.

This was the first time that the
cat has been in the hands of this
class for years, but it shall not be
the last. For next year, the Sopho-
mores are counting on urging their
sister class on to victory.

All praise to the class of ’27!

The Southern Woman’s Educational
Alliance, whose chairman is Miss
Ovie Latham Hatcher, has recently
extended its work so much that it
found it convenient to open a second
office in Atlanta, Grace Building.

The Alliance has done in the past,
and is now doing, a wonderful work
among Southern girls. By obtaining
scholarships, or loans, or opportuni-
ties for self-aid, it has enabled many
a girl to attend college or an indus-
trial or professional school. The Al-
liance itself does not give scholar-
ships but applies to colleges for girls,
and is often able to obtain aid when
the girl individually could not. The
Alliance also recommends girls ap-
plying to it to many societies which
have scholarships at their command,
such as the U. D. C. or the D. A. R.

at 10:30,
Darling Giddy:

Be sure you don’t tell anybody that
I’m using my flashlight to write to
you, but I think it’s all right to. You
see I’ve studied the hand book so much
that I know all the rules—nearly. Why
I speck I know more about them than
lots of old girls. But I’m not sure
about the flashlight, so you’d better
not tell or I might get restricted.

Did I ever tell you what that
means? Well, it means that you can’t
go to Atlanta for a whole week! Can
you imagine such a thing? And speak-
ing of Atlanta—you ought to be
proud of me because I can find my
way around so well. Why one fresh-
man—I think her name’s Emily
Kingsbery—made or bought herself
a map, a regular map, of Atlanta.
At least I guess she did because I
saw a notice on the bulletin board
that she’d lost one. Imagine having
to stop at Five Points and take out
your map to see how to get to High’s!
If everybody did that wouldn’t there
be a traffic jam?

Oh Giddy! I’m so excited!! You
know down here the freshmen and
sophomores each have a stunt at the
beginning of the year to see which
one can win the black cat. Person-
ally, I don’t see why it had to be a
cat—a dog is so much nicer.

a great honor to win it, and do you
know I’m sure we’re going to win it.
I was up in Catherine Graeber’s room
the other day and it was sitting on
her table and it has lots of little
silver bells around its neck. Wouldn’t
you get excited over that? And, Gid-
dy, I’m kinda, just a tiny bit (you
know what I mean) scared of the
sophomores. You don’t reckon they’!
win tho’, do you?

And guess what? I’m taking I. G.!!

And it’s
not even a live one—but anyway it’s

(oh there I go forgetting. Miss Pres-
ton told us never to start a sentence
off with “but” and I forgot and did
it; but you won’t mind me doing it in
your letters, and when I write to her
Christmas or next year I'll be real
sure and not do it.)—As I started
to say tho’, I. G. really means indi-
vidual gym, and you have to have
something the matter with your feet
or head to take it. The other day
Pearl Kunnes—she sits at my table
too—was telling me how easy it was
and she said when you didn’t want
to do anything else you could just
lie down on the floor and pretend
you were breathing. I’d be seared to
do that tho’, wouldn’t you? I guess
Miss Randolph must like for you to
do it because when I went to my class
this afternoon there were about six
people lying on the’ floor and they
didn’t look like they were doing very
much,

Giddy, my flashlight’s getting pret-
ty dim but I must tell you one more
thing before I go to bed. You know
during Sophomore Week Georgia
Watson, she’s one of my real inti-
mate friends, had to go to Frances
Lincoln after we had asked the bless-
ing and tell her she ought to be
ashamed not to close her eyes during
the blessing. I never could see tho’
how Georgia could tell they were open
when she sat behind Frances. I
imagine Frances was awfully embar-
rassed, and ’specially since she’s a
senior—don’t you? Oh yes! She’s the
one that Margaret Gerrig called
“Miss” for a whole week and asked
why she wasn’t in the procession the
morning they announced all the honor
students. I wonder if any freshman

will call me “Miss” when I’m a senior.

There comes the proctor down the

hall and I must put out the flashlight.
Always your Aggie.

Mrs. Smith suggested five steps
which it is valuable for one to take in
choosing one’s life’s calling. First of |
all, look up: seek His Will, line up on!
His side; second, look in: find your own |
talents, whether they be two, or five,
Then look out: seek the needs}
of the world; seek the place where}
you can do most good. Next, talk it|

Blackfriars Present
“A Midsummer
Night’s Dream”

First Play a Great
Success

Horace or Ovid would have said
that the Gods, in making their weath-
er plans for October the eleventh,
must have been considerate of and
propitious to the plans of the Black-
friars at Agnes Scott, for the open air
presentation of “Midsummer Night’s
Dream.” Howbeit, the two years’ de-
lay, caused by unfavorable weather,
rather gave the beauty of the night
an added significance, and certainly
did not decrease the skill of the actors,
All of the cast entered into the spirit
of the play and each role was played
with noteworthy artistic realization,
expressive of Miss Gooch’s admirable
training.

The atmosphere of the play created
by the fairies was light and airy. The
delicate pastel shades of their dresses
combined to give a very beautiful
and artistic effect. Mary Freeman
played the role of Puck—the mischiev-
ous little sprite and instigator of mis-
chief—with charming ability and
power of interpretation. Blackfriars
is especially grateful to Miss Frances
Harwell, of the class of ’23, for her
delightful performance of the role of
the Fairy Queen.

The group of mortals also gave an
interesting interpretation of their
parts. The two groups of lovers,
Hermia and Demetrius, and Helena
and Lysander—perhaps the most dif-
ficult of all the roles, were very real-
istically portrayed.

The Interlude group, the horny
handed men of Athens, furnished the
comic element of the play. Florence
Perkins’ performance of the part of
the plustever, Bottomy was excelletit:

The orchestra was furnished by the
courtesy of Mr. Alton O’Steen.

The cast of characters follow:

Mortals:

Theseus—Frances Lincoln.
Hypolita—Isabelle Clarke.
Hermia—Mildred Pitner.
Helena—Catherine Graeber.
Lysander—Georgia Mae Little.
Philostrate—Mary Ben Wright.
Egeus—Frances Bitzer.

Horny handed men of Athens:
Bottom—Florence Perkins.
Snout—Anne McCay.
Snug—Louise Buchanan.
Starveling—Helena Hermance.
Flute—Mary Anne McKinney.
Quince—Frances Amis.

Fairies:

Oberon—Sara Slaughter.
Titania—Frances Harwell.

Every year a number of Agnes
Scott girls take advantage of the con-
certs given by the Atlanta Music
Club. Parties of ten girls and a chap-
eron are made up and season tickets
are secured. Four parties have al-
ready been formed for the coming con-
cert series.

The program for this series is es-
pecially varied, and includes a num-
ber of the world’s most famous mu-
sicians. Instiumental, vocal and or-
chestral music, all find a place in
this series, which includes programs
by:

Maria Jer'tza.

Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra

John McCormack

Harold Bauer and Casals.

Jascha Heifetz.

The first concert of the series will
take place on Saturday night, Octob-
er the eighteenth. On that night the
world famous Prima Donna, Soprana,
Maria Jeritza, will give a concert.
This event is being anticipated with
much pleasure by a large group of
Agnes Seott girls.

Lecture
Plans

Tentative Lectures
Announced

The Agnes Scott Lecture Associa-
tion has behind it four years of suc-
cess, and if it is able to put into
effect the plans it has for this year,
its supporters may expect to enjoy
a season of even more entertaining
and enlightening lectures. So far,
except for what has already been
achieved—the delightful lecture by
Stephen Leacock—the plans are only
tentative.

At a recent meeting, however, it
was suggested that such notables as
Fannie Hearst, the author and play-
wright; Carl Van Doren, editor of the
“Century”; Monsieur Guerrand, the
French writer; Hobson, the famous
economist; Mrs. MacDowell, wife of
the well-known composer; Mr. Tsuru-
mi, a Japanese speaker; and either
Jane Adams or Grace Abbott, promi-
nent in social service work, be in-
vited to visit us and speak on appro-
priate subjects. The committee in
charge is also considering an eminent
chemist as this year’s scientific speak-
er.

The lectures of Dubose Heyward
were so enjoyable last year, that he
may be asked to make a “return en-
gagement”. As there will be a joint
meeting of the American and English
Historical Associations this year in
our country, an attempt may be made
to procure for us one of the English
historians. The Lecture Association

Interesting Plans For Year

The International Relations Club
held its first meeting Thursday night,
October 9. This was a business meet-

were discussed and many interesting
features for programs decided upon.

Mary Breedlove, president of the
club, has called a meeting of the ex-
ecutive board, composed of Eunice
Kell, vice-president; Olivia Swan, sec-
retary; Sarah Tate, Isabel Ferguson
and Dorothy Keith to meet the first
of next week, to draw up a new con-
stitution.

Discussion Groups
Very Successful

Evening Watch Program
Changed

Evening Watch is a service dear
to the hearts of Agnes Scott girls.
To get together once a week for a
short discussion of problems that con-
front college students, not only brings
the girls closer together, but is in
other ways helpful and uplifting. The
Evening Watch service forms a sort
of safety-valve which keeps the strain
of college life from becoming too
great.

This year the services are conduct-
ed on a somewhat different plan.
Every Wednesday night at nine-for-
ty-five the girls in each dormitory
meet for a brief discussion of some
one problem of college life. Instead
of the scripture reading and hymns
which were used up to this year, there
is a prayer, and the rest of the time
is given over to examination of the
question under consideration.

There have already been two Even-
ing Watch services. At the first
meeting the argument centered around
the question of the proper method
of observing the Sabbath. Various
opinions were held, but all agreed
that if we try to keep the Sabbath
in the way that we think the Master
would have us keep it, we cannot
go far wrong. At the second meet-
ing the system of church cuts was
discussed. Some held that the sys-
tem now in use is an ideal one, while
others emphatically protested that

Naturally enough, all the student

curiosity, every member of the fac-
ulty was there to view herself in the
eyes of the students. No ill-will was
felt, however, between these two se-

Meeting of Synod of
Georgia

Plan To Move Seminary To
Decatur
Dr. McCain has recently returned

from the meeting of the Georgia Sy-
nod at Valdosta, Ga. The question of
chief importance brought up at the
session was whether Columbia The-
ological Seminary, now at Columbia,
S. C., should be moved to Atlanta.
This Seminary is ninety-seven years
old, and is one of the strongest theo-
logical schools of the Southern Pres-
byterian Church. The reason for
moving it is that more room is need-
ed. The members of the Georgia Sy-
nod were enthusiastic about bringing
it here, and agreed to raise $500,000
to help with the movement. The most
available sites around Atlanta for the
Seminary are in Decatur. Mr. Willis,
who is developing Ingleside, has of-
fered twenty-five acres of land, and
Mr. G. B. Scott has offered several
different sites in Decatur. Before the
Seminary can be moved, however, the

EDITORIAL

Agnes Scott has dramatic clubs, debating elubs, literary and
journalistic clubs, in fact every kind of college life to be found
on any campus—except social life. We do not believe that Agnes
Seott girls are so peculiar that they do not want social life on their
campus. This lack of any form of social activity is more the result
of the busy life we lead here. Classes, library work and college
organizations take up most of our time. We willingly admit that
this is both necessary and should take first place, for after all the
aim of a college education must primarily be scholastic training.
And yet, college training is an Introduction to Life and we believe
society will play a part in the life of every girl in the future.
Then, it is necessary that we have this social life on our campus.

This lack of social activity is not the fault of the college admin-
istrators or the faculty. They are willing and anxious to have
more of it on our campus. The fault lies in the girls themselves.
We think we are too busy; but how easy, and of how much value it
would be, if we would give a few minutes more often, to becoming
better friends with everyone. For therein lies a great fault at
Agnes Scott. Very early in our college course we form our small
circle of friends and we seem satisfied to spend all of our leisure
time with them. These small groups of girls have so bound
themselves together that they fail to see the wrong they are doing
both to themselves and to the college.

In the past the Lecture Association has attempted to have
receptions after the lectures. We are sorry to say that Agnes
Scott girls have not taken advantage of this opportunity to meet
many distinguished men and women in an informal way. Few
girls have come and, we fear, those few were more interested
in the coffee than in the social success of the reception. We hope
to have others this year and if possible to have teas for the
faculty, students, trustees and friends of Agnes Scott in Atlanta
and Decatur. The success of these will depend upon.you. Will
you do your part?

The dances on Wednesday and Saturday nights in the gym-
nasium have been unusually good this year. The music is good
and the girls have been coming. It is your chance to meet many
girls and to forget your worries for a few minutes. Every girl
and member of the faculty is invited and urged to come to the
gymnasium and take part in the dances. You are missed when
you are away and you are missing much of value and pleasure
from your college life.

In order that we may make a real beginning this year, we are
asking every girl to do her part. It will be of value to you, indi-

vidually, and it will give an added attraction to Agnes Scott.

SENIORS ORDER CAPS, GOWNS
AND RINGS

The seniors are ready to assume
their. badges of dignity! Elizabeth
Blalock, class treasurer, has already
ordered caps, gowns and rings. Soon
we may see our dignified Seniors walk
to chapel in scholarly garb; Investi-
ture-cannot be far in the future; Soph-
omore sisters may before long roud-

ly wear rings inscribed with 1925.
Only a former senior can fully under-
stand the fever of impatient waiting
and joyous anticipation to which the
class of ‘25 is now subject; but we
are sure that everybody else is al-
most, if not quite, as anxious as the
Seniors for the orders to be filled.
Even a century of two weeks must
pass in time, and then the Seniors
will rise to the height of the glory of
caps and gowns and rings!

Alumnae News

Great interest among the students
has been centered on the marriage
of one of our most popular alumnae,
Lucile Little. Simplicity was the
keynote of her lovely wedding cere-
mony to Mr. Neal Morgan, of Heflin,
Ala., which took place last Friday
afternoon at the home of the bride’s
mother. The bride’s only attendant

Mrs. Morgan is well known by all
of the old students of Agnes Scott.

the most successful editors that the

MISS PRESTON HONORED; “POET
LORE” ACCEPTS TWO POEMS

Once more Agnes Scott voices her
pride in the achievements of her
daughters. And not only Agnes Scott,
but the whole realm of song lovers
may rejoice in this, for singular recog-
nition has been given Miss Janef
Preston in “Poet Lore.’ This maga-
zine, published in Boston and devoted
to poetry and drama, is to publish in
an early issue two of Miss Preston's
productions. These poems are “Inter-
lude” and “Victory.” It is regretted
that “The Agonistic” cannot give to
Agnes Scott the first right to these
poems, but we await with eagerness
the issue of “Poet Lore” and wish
Miss Preston all success in her future
career along this line.

CLASSES ON HAND-BOOKS
HELD

On Monday and Thursday after-
noons at five o’elock in the lecture
rooms in Science Hall, the members
of the executive committee held class-
es on the “Student Government Hand-
book.” ‘The purpose of these classes
was to enlighten the freshmen and
the new girls as to the rules and regu-
lations of student government.

At each class some new phase of
the student government requirements
was iaken up and discussed thorough-
ly. When the course was completed
examinations were given by Frances
B'tzer, whc conducted the classes. If
any failed, the course will be g'ven
again until all the new girls under-
stand the principles for which our
student government stands.

This is an entirely new idea here,
but one which we are sure is going to
prove very beneficial. After having
completed this course, every girl
should understand thoroughly what is
expected and required of her at Agnes
Scott.

MRS. RANKIN RETURNS TO
CAMPUS

Much to the joy of her many friends
on the campus, Mrs. W. W. Rankin re-
turned to Agnes Scott the early part
of last week, after spending the sum-
mer at the home of her parents in
Thomasville, N. C. She, brought with
her little William III, and his new
baby sister, Eleanor. All of us know
“Billy.” Why, we spent many a happy
moment last year playing with him
on the campus, or watching him run
around in his little base ball suit. But
most of us, I dare say, have not seen
Eleanor yet. And there’s a treat in
store for us, too. She’s a precious lit-
tle girl, just as cute and smiling as
Billy. As Mrs. Rankin says, “From
now on, there’ll be a three-ring circus
in East Lawn.”

MR. MANDEVILLE ILL AT WES-
LEY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL

Mr. L. C. Mandeville, of Carrollton,
Ga., who for many years has been
a member of the Board of Trustees of
Agnes Scott, and who never misses
a meeting, is threatened with an op-
eration and is at the Wesley Memorial
hospital. Mr. Mandeville has a schol-
arship at Agnes Scott, and assists
five other girls here. Some of the
students have already been to see
him, and he would greatly appreciate
as many girls as possible going to
see him.

NOTICE
Will the girl who borrowed Mr.
Cunningham’s hammer from the busi-
ness office, with the promise to re-
turn it immediately, please bring it
back? It is badly needed.

| EPISCOPALIANS HOLD MEETING

The students on the campus who
are Episcopalians were asked by Miss
Leslie Gaylord to meet in her room in
Boyd, last Thursday evening. The
meeting was simply a “get-together,”
held partly for the purpose of intro-
ducing the Hpiscopal girls to one
another and partly for helping new
Episcopalians decide on the churches
with which they wish to affiliate.
Those present were a‘! agreed that no

finite organization of the Episco-
palians should be attempted this year,
other than an informal committee,
composed of chairman, secretary and
treasurer, two other members and a
‘aculty adviser, as the Y. W. covers
most of the work that such a club
would do. The first Sunday in every
month, however, will be regarded as
corporate communion Sunday for the
Agnes Scott Episcopalians, and, at
that time, each girl will be notified
of the church at which corporate com-
munion is to be held.

After the discussion, delicious ice
eream cones were served.

Of the nineteen resident Episcopal
students invited, ten were present, as
follows: Misses Jack Anderson,
Nancy Crowther, Lila Porcher, Ervin
Baldwin, Charlotte Buckland, Cephise
Cartwright, Joe North, Ethel Redding,
Louisa Duls and Louisa Howard.

FRENCH MAJORS ENTERTAINED

Commissioned officers of the French
department were hosts at a military
hanquet par excellence, in honor of
Major General Hale and Major Gen-
eral Alexandre on Thursday, October

ficial language chosen for the occasion
was English but interpreters easily

honor guests. In spite of the many

DAY STUDENT
NEWS

“We've got a rep,
We've got some pep,
Just watch our step!”

At the general mass meeting of the
day students last Tuesday it was
shown that many plans had been
formulated for definite progress in
the work of the day students. Every-
one present showed much interest in
what was discussed, and also in the
one who was putting forth the dis-
cussions—Isakel Clarke, our president,
whose leadership we are more than
willing to follow.

We are all invited to a “house
warming” Friday, October 17, in the
basement of the library—aim, to
beautify our rooms there. Whoever
is sewcially inclined, bring some cre-
tonne and a thimble and help make
curtains, pillows or table runners.
Also if you have a rugged disposition,
you can join those who will fashion
varicolored rag rugs to cover the hard

floors,

We are still trying to increase our
finances for our cottage, so please
patronize the “Clipper Shop”, which
will also be in the basement. It will
cost you only ten cents to have your
any-style bob trimmed—and it will
give both the clipper and the clippee
pleasure. Home talent is available so
please don’t stray away to Muse’s or
Monsieur Adolphe. The funds gained
in these ways will go to building our
special day student house which will
have a charming club room, a cozy
kitchenette and several places to sleep.

right, but why is Marianne Strauss

For a long time the college com-

numbers than the ordinary medley

and cakes were served, the Seniors
began the pleasant process of getting
better acquainted, the purpose for
which Senior coffee was instituted.
Lower classmen look with envy upon
this easy and alluring method of
making closer friendships, and look
forward eagerly to the day when they,
too, shall enjoy this privilege.

Beulah Davidson and Dick Seandrett

first gathering by their presence.

instead, you are hearing local talent.
Several concert numbers are being
worked up, so it won’t be very long

before this “Ensemble de Violins” will —

also spoken of, as well as our influ-

These two meetings proved very in-

plan for Evening Watch seems in a
fair way to become quite a success
this year.

The general supervisor of Evening
Watch is Emily Jones. Other girls
have been chosen in each dormitory
to lead the discussion groups. The
girls from Sturgis, Lupton and Gaines,
meet with the group in one of the

Miss Gaylord and Miss Hale meet

MISSES BLAND AND PRESTON
ENTERTAIN ADVISEES

Freshmen Adyisees Attend Picnic.

Pine Hill saw one more rollicking
picnic when twelve Freshmen respond-
ed “aye” to this summons from their
advisors:

“On Wednesday night when the moon
is bright

Would you like to steal away

And exchange your book for a woodsy
nook,

‘nd an hour of song and play?

We'll not have advice but something
nice:

A campfire’s cheery glow,

Food and fun and stories begun

Before we have to go,”

Everyone joined in cooking the sup-
per over a “sure nuff” camp fire and
everyone had a “sure nuff” appetite
for the piles of rolls served with
bacon and all the trimmings that go
with a picnic supper. Apples
tomato and lettuce sand-
wiches all vanished with characteristic
frankness and utmost enjoyment.

Then when the fire died down and
imaginations fired up, each girl told
her favorite campfire story or joke,
and before returning to the campus
and work, forgot school for a while
in good old vacation songs and regu-
lar summertime fun.

Among those who will never forget
that particular moon and those especial
wieners were: Ruth Barnett, Cha-Hei
Shay, Julia Napier, Nannie Graham
Saunders, Ellen Stevens, Ruth
Thomas, Caroline Essig, Eloise Gaines,
Kathleen Gray, Josephine Houston,
Vera Kamper and Helen McCorkle.

While the others were enjoying the
memories of this and other picnics,
Cha-Hei Chay, our own particular Ko-
rean student entertained the party
with an account of picnics and how
they are managed in her native land.

GIDDIE GOSSIP

2 P. M. Thursday.
Dearest Giddy:

You ought to appreciate this letter
a heap because I didn’t stay to eat
my dessert so I could write you a let-
ter. I’ve only got fifteen minutes
though because I have Physics lab.
at 2:15. Did you ever take Physics?
If you didn’t, don’t because its a-w-ful
and ’specially the lab. part. You sit
and measure and weigh and measure
and weigh and work and calculate
and then come out with an answer
either miles too big or miles too smail
and get about 20 per cent error when
you should get less than 2! I tell you

I guess you have enough troubles
it’s terrific.
of your own tho’ without hearing
mine—so Ill tell you something funny
instead,

They had a faculty take-off last:
night—you know it’s really not the
faculty at all but just girls in school
that act like the faculty. I wonder if
T’l! ever be able to act like Miss Jack-
son or Miss Dexter—I guess I could
tho’ if I’d just take enough History
and Psych, and Education. Weil,
anyway, there were two whole tables
of faculty represented and you should
have heard the conversation they had.
Why, I didn’t know the faculty were
like that. Do you know—they’re not
so different from us after all because
they talked about going to town, and
classes and even told jokes. Imagine
the faculty doing that.

That's not as bad as what happened
Saturday night tho’! I told you that
the Freshman-Sophomore stunts were
to be that night—well, the Sopho-

mores won. I guess I’m kinda glad
tho’ because you see this is their last
chance and we can win it next year—
or try anyway,

Giddy, I wanted to go to the fair so
bad this week I didn’t know what to
do and I’m restricted (look in your
next to the last letter to see what
that means.) Some of the girls who
went tho’ told me all about it—and
about eating some kind of cotton can-
dy. Have you ever heard of that? I
guess its a variety of cotton they
must grow somewhere down here that
I haven't heard about. I wonder what
it looks like.

And Reba Bayless told me that
there were seven things to ride on be-
sides the boats and she rode on six.
The only reason she didn’t ride on
the other was that it was shut up.
I wish they’d bring some of those
things out here to A. S. C. ‘cause
T haven’t had a ride since I’ve been
here except on the Decatur Street
car. And she—Reba, I mean—said
they had some of the best dancers
you ever saw, and that some Agnes
Scott girl was thinking of joining
them because dancing was such a good
way of expressing one’s feelings, I
wonder who it is, If I find out I'll
tell you in my next letter,

There goes the bell and I must
hurry.

Yours as ever,
Aggie

P. S.—One of the Freshmen thought
Miss Preston was hike leader—I guess
she got her mixed up with Miriam
Preston.

city this year. They may be asked
to give a matinee for us. The com-
pany is doing really unique and cre-
ative work. It is made up of students
engaged in graduate work at the uni-
versity of North Carolina, who write
and present their own plays. These
are concerned chiefly with the folk
lore of the Carolinian mountaineers
and customs of the people, which may
be thus preserved. If the Lecture
Association can collaborate with the
Drama League and get these players,
it is felt that the college community
will greatly benefit.

Such are the tentative plans of the
organization. Though ambitious, they
are not impracticable, and if they are
accomplished the students may ex-
pect an excellent “program” through-
out the school term.

PRIZE PLAY CONTEST

John Golden, a producer of Amer-
ican plays, has devised a plan for a
national prize play contest in which
plays “clean as to line and situation”
are to be presented to the public. He
hopes to make a great success of this
plan with Winchell Smith as direc-
tor of the plays.

The contest began September 1,
1924, and ends December 31, 1924.
It is open only to American authors;
musical plays, tragedies and works
built along a salacious line are bar-
red from this contest.

Since in Mr. Golden’s opinion there
are no better judges of plays than
those newspaper writers known as
dramatic criites and dramatic editors,
who have devoted their professional
lives to the analytical study of plays,
he has asked them to be the judges in
this contest. There are 191 men and
women who haye acknowledged their
willingness to lend their aid to a
movement which may help the theater.
These people shall be formed into an
organization under the temporary
title: “A Coterie of American Play
Critics.”

Mr. Golden has promised that the

three plays selected by the “Coterie”

shall be awarded the prize provided

and shall be produced by him within |
a reasonable period, with due regard
to the theatrical season.

The prizes to be awarded are as
follows:

For the first prize play conform-
ing to the conditions of this contest,

there shall be paid a cash sum of two}|

thousand dollars as advance

royalties to accrue with a contract)

for production with the following
royalties;

a. Five per cent on the first $5,000
gross weekly receipts.

b. Seven and one-half per cent on)
the next $2,500 gross weekly receipts. |
c. Ten per cent ‘on all sums over|

$7,500 gross weekly receipts.

For the second prize there shall be |

paid a sum of one thousand dollars
as advance on royalties to accrue

For the third prize there shall be

Dr. McCain made a talk on Agnes

a number of old Agnes Scott girls,
among them Mrs. Turner, who is
President of the Georgia Synodical,

Hockey Managers Chosen

Hockey has long since proved itself
A. S. C.’s favorite fall sport. And
this year it seems to be creating a
greeater enthusiasm than ever. Each
day numerous freshmen and old girls
don middy blouses and journey to the
back campus, where they practice
dribbling and “pooch passing’—We
may as well expect some “peppy”
games this season.

The class managers have already
been chosen; and games scheduled.
Belle Walker will attempt to lead her
class through as victorious a season
as they enjoyed last fall, in spite
of the fact that the Juniors, with El-
len Fain as manager, and the Sopho-
mores, led by Courtney Wilkinson, are
determined that the Senior class
shan’t have the championship again.
The Freshmen, too, are very anxious
to win the greatest number of games—
And who says that they won’t? Eliza
Rainey, as class manager, is certainly
planning a splendid team. But the
victors can’t be determined until the
end of the season; so we must just
come to the games and see how they
go for ourselves.

Inman Attic Visited By
Spooks and Ghosts

A large number of girls accepted
the cordial invitation of the Senior
Class to attend a Hallowe’en party,
given by the Seniors to the student
body last Saturday night, October 18.

Now, a Hallowe’en party is quite
distinet from all other parties in that
its chief method of entertaining its
guests is to frighten them. Queer,
isn’t it? And the Seniors did some

“tall” entertaining. Everything
about that party conspired to create
an atmosphere of “spook-ism.” To
begin with, the guests were enter-
tained in the attic of Inman, part of
which was made to represent a grave-
yard being artistically decorated with
tomb-stones. The lights were veiled
with black draperies; black cats hissed
from the walls on all sides, and owls
hooted overhead. The ghosts of the
Seniors were all there (where the
Seniors were, we know not) girded in
the conventional white robes. For-
tune-tellers’ booths attracted a great
many girls, especially the love-sick
ones; but perhaps the most thrilling
part of it all was the famous “‘Cham-
ber of Horrors.” What was in it?
Oh, that is a secret too deep to be
made public here. The proper sen-
‘sation can be had only by visiting
the Chamber of Horrors for yourself.
To relieve the nervous tension of their
guests, the spooks served stick candy
and apples and peanuts later in the
evening.

Pi Alpha Phi Try-outs
; Held

Pi Alpha Phi tryouts were held in
the chapel Monday night after
prayers. Only old girls were allowed
to venture quakingly through the
back entrance to the chapel, stumble
across the stage, mumble something
Which in its original form had been
a debate, get back over the stage with
all possible speed, and rush into the
open air with a feeling of infinite re-
lief and a certain amount of exhilara-
tion. Freshmen, however, will have
a chance to try their luck before the
school year is over.

‘Those trying out were not the only
Jones who had burdens on their shoul-
4 ders, for when the tryouts were over,
the judges had their usual battle to
decide the momentous question of who
the new members were to be. After
much discussion the problem was set-
jitled, and the following girls were ad-
mitted to the organization: Evelyn
} Powell, Nan Lingle, Eloise Harris,
} Louise Harrison, Louisa White, Fran-
ces Craighead, Courtney Wilkinson,
Elizabeth Chapman, Roberta Winter.

To the valiant comes the reward.
Thursday night the new members
were initiated into the famous debat-
ing society. They were well armed
for such a tiny ill, for had they not
braved the dangers—nay, even the
perils—of tryouts only a few days
before? The constitution was read ‘to
the new members, and a mock debate
was given, the subject being “Re-
solved: That it is better to be on
the inside looking out than on the
Joutside looking in.” The affirmative
was upheld by Emily Spivey and Hel-
én Lewis, the negative by Margaret
Hyatt and Dorothy Keith. The deci-
sion was in favor of the negative.
The old members realizing that the
new ones would need physical as
well as mental food had provided
tempting viands, so all ate, drank,
jand were merry for the remainder of
the evening. The new members went
Jaway feeling that the prize was de-
cidedly worth the effort.

One-Act Play, “Joint
Owners In Spain”
Presented At Blackfriar
Meeting

The regular semi-monthly meeting
of Blackfriars was held on Friday,
October 17. The main part of the pro-
gram was devoted to the presentation
of a one-act comedy, “Joint Owners
in Spain,” written by Alice Brown.
The play introduces two old women,

both inmates of the Old Ladies’
Home, and considered the worst
“cases? in the Home. The one, Mrs.

Blair, is robust, “high-spirited,” and
overbearing; the other, Miss Dyer, is
meagre, lachrymose, always injured
and looking for trouble. Mrs. Mitch-
ell, the kindly matron of the Home,
decides to put the two in the same
room, and, therefore, moves away Miss
Dyer’s present room-mate, Mrs. Ful-
lerton, characterized as “faded in her
wits.” Mrs. Blair is so averse to hav-
ing a room-mate that she draws a
chalk mark down the middle of the
room, and informs Miss Dyer that the
mark is a partition, across which no
word can be spoken. The ludicrous
situations resulting give unique charm
to the play. All the parts were well
interpreted, and the play gave quite’
a lot of pleasure to Blackfriars.

Requirements For
Written Work

Attention of the Students Is
Called to the Following
Regulations

At a recent faculty meeting the
members of the English department
presented these rules for the writ-
ing of papers, which were adopted
by all members of the faculty.

The attention of every student,
and especially of the old girls, who
have become careless about the form
of their papers, is called to these
rules. It is urged that you follow
them carefully because in the future,
no paper will be accepted unless it is
written in the proper form.

You are specially warned not to
write on both sides of your paper, one
side only is to be used, and only blue
or blue-black ink may be used. Please
be careful to leave a space after your
indorsement before writing the title
of your paper.

The following are the rules which
must be observed in all papers:

Those of us who have attended the
weekly Wednesday night dances in the
Gym, or have gone into Inman Lobby
right after supper, know how well
a great many of our Agnes Scott girls
dance. To some of us unfortunate
ones, who have not yet learned the
art of “tripping on light fantastic
toe,” it seems next to miraculous how
they keep step so well, and how they
know just what their partners are
going to do next. It really seems al-
most as hard as a Chinese puzzle,

Dr. Carl Van Doren to

Lecture Here Oct. 28

Second Lecture on the Program
For 1924-25

Since the delightful by
Stephen Leacock the college communi-
ty has been eagerly awaiting the sec-
ond speaker of tke program to be
presented this year by the Agnes
Scott Lecture Association. The an-
nouncement, therefore, that Dr. Carl
Van Doren is to talk in the chapel at
five o’clock on Tuesday afternoon,

the twenty-eighth, will undoubtedly be
received with pleasant expectation.
Dr. Carl Van Doren is well known
as a prominent educator
phases of work:

in four
Teaching, editing,
writing and lecturing. Although pro-
fessor of English at Columbia Uni-
versity and literary editor of the
“Century,’ Dr. Van Doren is chiefly
interested in writing and lecturing.
He is author of “The Life of Thomas
Love Peacock,” editor of “The Cam-
bridge History of American Litera-
ture,” editor of “Tales by Washing-
ton Irving,” and author of “The
Roving Critic,” a collection of short
essays, sketches, and reviews. Con-
cerning the versatility of our coming
speaker, Glenn Frank, editor of the
“Century” has said, “Dr. Carl Van

Doren has one of the most interesting

minds I have known. He has achieved
scholarly distinction without dehum-
anizing his interests or formalizing
his mind. . . . He indulges in none of
the stock tricks of the orator, but
he is one of the most engaging
‘talkers’ I have ever heard.”

It is hoped, then, that a goodly
number will take advantage of the
opportunity of hearing Dr. Van Doren
Tuesday afternoon. The subject at
this time will probably be either “The
Revolt Against Dullness” or “The
New American Mind.”

McKinney and Hermance To
Represent Agnes Scott At
Student Government
Conference

Miss Helena Hermance has been
elected by the student body as the
Agnes Scott Junior delegate to the
Northern and Eastern Intercollegiate
Association of Student Government,
which will hold its annual meeting
soon at Vassar College, Poughkeepsie,
N. Y., on the Hudson. This associa-
ton has for its members practically
all the standard colleges of the north-
ern and eastern United States, and
each college is invited to send two
delegates to the meetings of the as-
sociation the delegates being in each
ease the president of student govern-
ment and a member of the Junior
Agnes Seott will, therefore,
be represented by Misses Mary Anne

elass.

McKinney and Helena Hermance.

The purpose of the inter-collegiate
association of student government is
to make student government more ef-
fective in every college represented.
The delegates from each college sug-
gest topics which are problems on
their own campus; and these topics are
then discussed by the whole associa-
tion, each college telling how, if at
all, it has met the suggested condi-
tions. In past years Agnes Scott has
helpful
intercollegiate meetings.

Mrs. Carter and Judge Beck
Speakers

Mrs. Carter, of Carrollton and
Judge Beck, of the supreme court of
Georgia, gave interesting as well as
instructive talks on Mr. Davis and
the Democratic party, on Wednesday
evening in the chapel. While neither
Mrs, Carter nor Judge Beck are ex-
perienced politicians, yet their very
lack of this kind of experience some-
how gave us a greater impression of
the truth and honesty of their opin-
ions. Possibly we are not all Demo-
crats; nevertheless these two spedk-
ers gave some good reasons why: we
should be. ;

Mrs. Carter first made an appeal
to the women of Georgia to realize
the duty and responsibility that comes
with the privilege of voting—the
duty of voting, and the responsibil-
ity of voting intelligently. If we ‘are
to be Democrats, then we should he
Democrats because we believe in ‘the
principles upheld by the Democratic
party. The essential difference be-
tween the Republican and the Demo-
cratic parties, she pointed out, is that
the Democrats believe in a strong
local government in which the most
people knowing the most about it con-
trol the government; while the Re-
publicans believe in a strong central
government in which the least peuple
knowing the least about it control the
government. , 1

Mrs. Carter, also, succeeded in im-
parting to us some of her enthusiasin
for Mr. Davis himself. His ¢arh-
paign speeches, she said, are strangely
reminiscent of those of Mr. Woodrow
Wilson and voice clearly the same fyn-

Y. W. C. A. Give Stunt
Monday Night °

Budget Tried and
Acquitted

The Y. W. C. A. gave a unique and
interesting stunt in the chapel Mon-~
day night after prayers. The purpose
of this stunt was the presentation of
the budget. A court scene’ was the
center of interest. The judge in cap
and gown presided oyer the, sessian,
while the witnesses sat in solemn, ar-
ray on each side of the stage. At the
left of the judge was the woe-begone
prisoner, the Y. W. C. A. Budget, and
opposite him were the awe-inspiring’
members of the jury. What an im-
posing sight! pate Th

First, the witnesses of the plain-
tiff spoke at length concerning the
detrimental influence which” the
Budget exerted on the Aeriés' Scott
campus. Big Dec, Little Dec, Atlanta,
the Tea Room, and Clothes used their
powers against the' ‘poot ‘defendant,
who became more pitiful looking all
the while. The Budget, however, as-
sumed a more cheerful countenance
when the witnesses for the defense
arose. How could any jury ‘vomposed
of mere human beings withstand the
mighty stream of eloquent truth which
issued from the lips of the Mission-
ary, Nacoochee, Dr. Campbell Morgan,
Blue Ridge, and Local Expenses?
Weighty deliberation was not neces-
sary on the part of the jury, for the
case had decided itself. The unani-
mous verdict of “Not Guilty’ (was
speedily rendered. Much rejoicing en-
sued, for the audience was heartily in
sympathy with the defendant.

May the budget be as loyally sup-
ported by the students as it was Mon-
day night by the counsel for the de-
fense.

ts To everything there is a season. Not only is there a time to
mourn and a time to dance, a time to love and a time to hate, but
there is a time to talk and a time when talking is as unnecessary
as it is thoughtless and annoying. When the posts of the chapel
are draped in black and gold and blue and white, when silhouettes
stare blackly from the walls, when the pianos are banging and
the cheer leaders are twisting themselves into a hundred con-
tortions and making as many wild gesticulations, that’s the time,
girls, to yell. Scream as loud as you can, till your throat cracks
and you pant for air, sing till the power of speech deserts you,—
it’s the time for it. When the nine o’clock bell rings, though
the frayed paper still hangs upon the posts and the bedraggled
silhouettes stare in surprise at the morning light, keep quiet,—
it’s the time for it.

Of course what your best friend’s date said to her when the
moon was shining on the colonnade last night, is all-absorbing,
and naturally, you want to hear about it as soon as possible; but
there are other places where confidences may be exchanged. Yes,
a test in the day when you have five straights is the most dis-
éoncerting occurrence in the world, but screaming the fact to
your whole class won’t help matters; besides, the dinner table is
really the only place to air a fine grievance like that. Jack’s
special no doubt is thrilling, but shouldn’t communications of that
sort be read and exclaimed over in the privacy of your own
toom? Our chapel has no stained glass windows through which
rose and amethyst lights stream, no vested choir singing softly
in the distance, no high piped organ breathing “Holy! Holy!
Holy!” in far-away chimes; but nevertheless it is a chapel, at
nine o’clock every morning. A truly reverent spirit needs no
painted glass for meditation, a worshipful heart no softly-singing
voices to bring it quietness. They bow down and are silent. It
is the time.

and Maria Jeritza gave a concert at
the City Auditorium on Saturday
night, October 18, at eight-thirty
o’clock.

Madame Jeritza is a Viennese so-
prano who is the reigning prima don-
na of the Metropolitan Opera Com-
pany, and is the most conspicuous op-
eratic figure since the passing of
Caruso. Jeritza has a repertoire of
several hundred songs, which she calls
her “artistic children,” and through
them she unfolds the tenderness and
love of her nature. This was Jeritza’s
initial appearance in Atlanta, but she
was received with such enthusiasm by
the Atlanta people, that it is hoped
she will come back again next year.

Agnes Scott had a good representa-
tion to hear this great singer, as
about one hundred and twenty of the
students and faculty attended the con-
cert.

EDUCATION FOR WOMEN

The September 28th issue of the
Florida Alligator says that the enroll-
ment at the State University this
year rapidly nears the 1200 mark.
Our enrollment at F. §. C. tallies
somewhat the same. It is interesting
to note that only a few years ago
there were less than 500 young women
here while at our brother institution
down State, the number was probably
almost double.

The comparison now denotes but one
thing: Education for women is be-
coming more popular. We travel with
the times.—The Florida Flambeau.

Methodist girls are to be congratu-

DAY STUDENT
NEWS

Presto, change! It as
though Puck has waved his magic
wand and transformed the erstwhile
sombre rooms of the day students
into a bower of cosy and attractive
loveliness. The party held in the li-
brary basement Friday afternoon ac-
complished its twofold aim—that of
making the day students better ac-
quainted and of beautifying the rooms
where some of their not-so-busy hours
are spent. After the new curtains
pwere at the windows, the gayly col-

seems

ored cushions were on the chairs and
rugs covered up the former bare spots
on the floor, delicious refreshments
were served. Judging by the sounds
of mirth that floated to the upper re-
gions of the library this party was a
huge success.

November 8th is coming—and so
is “The Stringem’ Girl,” the play
that is written, directed and produced
by day students. Advance press
reports say this production is unsur-
passed in beautiful girls, ravishing
costumes and gorgeous stage settings.
Large choruses proclaim the ability
of the day students to excel in the
art of singing and dancing. Mary
Lynes, the author, is well pleased
with the result of the tryouts and the
way the work on this play is progres-
sing. Don’t forget “The Stringem’
Girl.”

No longer do the day students need
to go with their craving for sweets
unsatisfied, as “Ye Sweeterie’ our
own candy shop will be opened in the

basement of the library early this”

week. Cookies and candy will be sold
as long as they last, and this money
will go to our cottage fund. The
Clipper Shop will also be opened, so
this coming week is a very important
one.

IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE AT
PINE LODGE

The athletic board has undertaken
to make the Stone Mountain camp
more attractive and comfortable for
the Agnes Scott girls. They contem-
plate buying bed springs, painting
the building, repairing the floor, and
equipping the camp with running wa-
ter and wood. These comforts will
add much to the living accommoda-
tions of the place, and will offer prac-
tically all the equipment of an at-
tractive home for those who are for-
tunate enough to spend a week-end in
the woods. In order to accomplish
this, it is necessary to increase the
income over the budget, and for this
reason the fee will be increased from
ten to twenty-five cents for those who
desire to spend a week-end in camp.

Judge Beck first brought before u

from the fate of the Roman and

eroned, and it goes without saying
everyone had a marvelous time.

The first hockey game of the sea-
son was played by the Juniors and
Seniors on Friday, October 10. Many
boosters came out and encouraged the
players with yells. Dr. McCain lent

his voice to the cheers for the Senior
class, and the stimulus was so great
as to raise the final score, 6 to 4, in
favor of the Seniors.

On last Friday a “double-header”
was staged. The Sophomores played
the Seniors and the Freshmen the
Juniors. This was the first game for
the Freshmen, but they fought val-
iantly and showed some good ma-
terial. The line-ups were:

that the Treaty of Versailles be re-
written or “thrown on the junk pile.”
German papers are now urging all
German-Americans to vote for La
Follette.

The differences between the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties, Judge
Beck pointed out, is that the Demo-
erats believe in close construction of
the Constitution, and the Republicans

‘believe in the loose construction of

the Constitution and the conferring
of more power to the central gov-
ernment. On the tariff issue, he says
that the Republican party favors the
protection of the rich and the taxa-
tion of the poor.

Judge Beck, also, is an ardent ad-
mirer of Davis’ executive ability. He
says that he even possesses the de-
lightful attribute of being good-look-
ing.

Y. W. C. A.

The Y. W. C. A. is making an at-
tempt this year to make the organiza-
tion more democratic. In the past,
due to the nature of our programs it
has been impossible for many people
to take part during the year. This
year we have a new plan which, we
hope, will bring more girls in touch
with the Y. W. and its work.

Several programs have been planned
for different times during the year,
in which several girls can take part.
The first of these programs was
given Sunday, October 12. The sub-
ject was “Jesus’ Way of Giving.” The
introduction was given by Margaret
Tufts, then there were talks by Bee
Keith and Nell Hillhouse, two of our

new girls who~ succeeded very well

‘indeed in furthering the already
good reputation the freshman class
has, and a talk by Margie Wakefield.
All of which proved that the plan
needed only to -be tried to prove its
merit.

The Student-Industrial Committee
is hoping soon to get launched on its
plans for the year. We hope to open
up a broader field than has hereto-
fore been opened, and hope to bring
more of our college girls in contact
with the industrial girls.

Dearest Giddy:

If you ever come to Agnes Scott

cause if you should happen to make
it you have to sign some kind of a
pledge that won’t let you eat any-
thing—not even a piece of candy—be-

thing. I simply couldn’t exist if I
couldn’t go over to the tea-room every

night between 9 and 10 to get some-
thing to eat.

Nothing very exciting has happened
out here but I heard a day student
say the other day that Juanita Grier
won in the campaign for president or
something, of the day students over
Emily Zellars. She (Emily) was “con-
ducting a vigorous campaign on an in-
dependent ticket” (whatever that is).
Anyway—the other girl won.

She rent the air with heartfelt wail.

Toward the dreaded county jail.

She could not climb the last, long hill,
Her feeble body shook and shivered

Her very being quivered.
She gave up hope in dead despair,
For what was hope in world so
dark?

Her life was ebbing fast away;
About her there was not a spark.
She breathed with slow and painful

gasps,
With deep and heavy sighing.
She sank down lower to the earth.
‘Twas plain that she was dying.
And yet the jeering, vulgar crowd
In cruel jests and coarse,
Cried, “Choke her, choke
choke her!”
Until their throats were hoarse.
The sheriff wretch grew blind with
rage.
The mad mob made him dizzy,
And so he killed her brutally,
He could not drive a “Lizzie.”

Dr. Carl Van Dorin Will Lecture
Here October 28

Subject Will Be ““The Revolt
Against Dullness”’

Particularly well known among peo-
ple who read and think is Dr, Carl
Van Doren, a foremost literary critic,
literary editor of the Century Mag-
azine and professor of English at
Columbia University. Mr. Van Doren
is to lecture here on the evening of
October 28, at 5 o’clock, on the sub-
ject, “The Revolt Against Dullness.”

Mr. Van Doren has had an interest-
ing rise in the world of education
and literature. He was brought up on
an Illinois farm, and attended the
University of that state, where he
won special honors in literary work,
was class poet, and graduated in 1907.
He was a scholarship at Columbia,
which he attended for graduate work
in English and Comparative Litera-
ture. This scholarship was succeeded
by fellowship including a year’s travel
and study in Scotland, England, Hol-
land, Germany and France, and then
came an appointment to teach English
in 1916. He was head-master of the
Brearley School, one of the big pri-
vate schools of New York, from 1916-
19. In 1919 he resigned the work at
Brearley School to become literary
editor of “The Nation,” which he re-
signed in 1922 for a similar post on
the “Century.”

With Mr. Van Doren teaching and
editing have been only a means of
livelihood, for he is primarily interest-
ed in writing and lecturing. He is the
author of “The Life of Thomas Love
Peacock,” the translator of Hebbel’s
“Judith,” and editor of “The Cam-
9) bridge History of American Litera-

ture.” He also edited “Tales by
9 Washington Irving,” published in 1918.
His latest book is a collection of short
essays, sketches and reviews called
“The Roving Critics.” He has con-
tributed to the Atlantic Monthly, and
at the present time is doing a series
of monthly studies of American con-
temporaries for the “Century.” These
have been better received than any-
thing Dr. Van Doren has written, and
are to appear in book form soon.

He has filled some important lec-
ture engagements during the past
year or so. He gave the Clyde Fitch
Lectures at Amherst on Whitman for
1923. He lectured five times before
the Baltimore Council of Jewish Wom-
en in 1922, and in the same year lec-
tured for a week for the school of
Journalism at the University of MIlli-

Alumnae To Open
Beauty Parlor

Basement of Sturgis
Transformed Into a
Beauty Shop

Do you want a shampoo? Does
your bob need a trim? Then this will
interest you. The Agnes Scott Alum-
nae are going to open a real beauty
parlor in the basement of Sturges.
There will be appliances for sham-
pooing, curling, manicuring, and treat-
ments. The basement will be trans-
formed; the school has promised to
fix the floor; the alumnae will do the
rest, and we will no longer recognize
that dirty basement glimpsed as we
hurry up the back stairs.

When is this to be? Just as soon
as a competent, refined woman can be
found to take charge.
is being sought. If you are really in-

We all enjoy and appreciate the fine

room which the alumnae have provid-
ed for us. May this last project be as
successful as the others.

evening dresses are to be worn and
where a good orchestra will play.

Third, Mock Election:
ence that the political speakers at the
school this year have had will be given
a chance to show itself at the mock
election to determine how the majority
of the students think about the lead-

real election returns will be wired to
the college as soon as they are de-
termined.

Fifth, Investiture: For the past two
weeks, we have seen the seniors seur-

caps and gowns. The official right to
wear their academic robes will be con-
ferred on them at the Investiture serv-

Glee Club Plans
Program For
Year

To Bring Several Glee Clubs To
Agnes Scott

“The student body and faculty are
eagerly anticipating the fulfilment of
the plans which the Glee Club has in
view for the year. This entertaining
feature of the college activities has
planned for many concerts, will fur-
nish the music when the Agnes Scott
Club sings in Atlanta, and will have
some of their concerts broadcasted.
Many requests have been received
from the neighboring towns for en-
tertainments and the club hopes to
make several trips. One of the most
interesting features of the program
for the year is the featuring of the
Mercer Glee Club, November 15, All
who have ever heard the program
which this ¢lub offers will look for-
ward with more pleasure to hearing
them again. There is also a possi-
bility of securing Trinity, Davidson
and Florida Glee Clubs in the course
of the season.

The tryouts for the club were held
some time ago and the following mem-
bers were admitted: Mary Renier,
Rosalie Wooten, Elizabeth Fuller,
Emily Cope, Louise Sydner, Carrie
Hynman, Edith Strickland, Mary Mill-
er, Lillian LeConte, Martha Carlyle,
Nell Hillhouse, Ruth Thomas, Edith
Brown, and Hermione Jandon.

ty and the throng of students gath-
ered to pay a last loving tribute to
the girl who only a short time ago
moved among us. The breath of sad-
ness pervaded the air. Nothing to
do now save to come together in
reverence and offer homage as a tok-
en of our esteem for her.

The whele assembly sang together

Reserved for the Co-/| that old and comforting hymn, “Jesus,
It is rumored that a|

Lover of My Soul.” Dr. McCain led
a beautiful prayer, asking God’s
mercy on the loved ones left behind,
that His love which passeth all un-

The influ-| derstanding might comfort and heal

the torn hearts of her family and
friends. Several passages of scripture
telling of God’s mercy and love and
wisdom were read, and “I Heard The
Voice of Jesus Say, Come Unto Me
and Rest,’ was sung as a solo by
Martha Johnston. Short talks made
by some of the girls told of Mar-
garet’s wonderful gift for friendship,
her faithful work as a reporter for the
Agonistic, her loyal service as one of
those girls who went to the Wesley
House to tell stories to the little chil-
dren and play games with them, and
her quiet, sintere, though unobstrusive
support of all organizations and move-
ments for the good of the college.
That wonderful old hymn, “Oh Love
That Will Not Let Me Go,” was sung,
and the service ended with a silent,
heartfelt prayer.

All went away from the service
downcast in heart because of the loss
of a stuctnt- and fellow-schoolmate,
yet a gleam of hope was there. Per-
sonality does not die, and her spirit
still lives on to show us the beauty
and value of a life well spent.

Georgia Student
Volunteer Conference
Meets At Emory

Third Annual Meeting of the
Council

The third annual State Council of
the Georgia Student Volunteer Coun-
cil met at Emory University, October
18-19. This council is composed of
the officers of the union and a repre-
sentative from each Volunteer group
in the state, and is for the purpose of
inspiration and discussion of the plans
for the year.

At the first meeting, on Saturday
night, the reasons for having a Stu-
dent Volunteer Movement, and the
methods of the movement were dis-
cussed. After this discussion, it was
seriously felt that the fourfold pur-
pose of the movement fully justifies
its existence: 1. To challenge stu-
dents to choose their life work in the
face of foreign missions. 2. To lay
equal responsibility on those not per-
mitted to go to promote support for
missions. 3. To relate a sufficient num-
ber of properly qualified students to
the foreign missionary boards. 4, To
unite for mutual helpfulness those of a
common purpose for “the evangeliza-
tion of the world in this generation.”

On Sunday morning the topic of dis-
cussion was the relation of the state
union, both to the group and to the
individual. ‘In this discussion, the
services of the union, both to the
group and to the individual. In
this discussion, the services of the
union in inspiration, fellowship, con-
necting the group with headquar-
ters, and opening up opportuni-
ties for service were brought out.
The reasons for having a state con-
ference were also discussed; the con-
ference’s service seemed to consist in
its offering of inspiration both
through the programs and the con-
tacts with students from all over the

Miss Ansley Taylor
Talks In Chapel

Biblical Scholar Lectures On The
“Jesus Way” Of Living

Miss Ansley Manning Taylor gave
to the college community one of her
most inspiring talks last Friday morn-
ing. Miss Taylor is well known all
over this country as a student of the
Bible. In the talks that she gave in
chapel she took for her theme, “Life
as a Workmanship of God.” She said
that our lives could be poems. The
word “poem” is derived from the
Greek and means work. Our lives
can find their best expression in being
“poems” for Christ. “Each life is a
poem,” continued Miss Taylor. For
our personalities to be the most pow-
erful and pleasing to others, they must
find expression in the “Jesus Way” of
life. She told the story of a beautiful
young girl who had given her life as
a missionary in China, but on account
of her health was obliged to return
home. Just as she left to go, an old
Chinese servant gave her a half a doz-
en eggs as a parting gift. As the
young girl said thank you, the old ser-
vant bade her goodbye with a heart
full of joy and blessed her for coming
to China and showing “The Great
Light, which lighteneth every man
that cometh into the world.” That
was the real beauty of the young mis-
sionary, the beauty of her soul. The
reflection of the heavenly power
had brought sunshine into the hearts
of others in China besides this poor
woman. Christ had mac~ of her life
one great poem—~a true workman ship
for God.

Miss Taylor began her career by the
study of art. Then she heard of the
Moody Institute. Though she was al-
most at the point of success in her
artistic career, she was so deeply in-
terested in the study of the Bible that
she left New York and went to the
Moody Institute in Chicago. There
she spent several years studying, and
from there she was sent by the In-
stitute as a speaker on Biblical sub-
jects. She has travelled widely and
is well known all over the United
States. One of the greatest works
that she has done is the founding of

Decatur Methodist
Church Gives Party
For Methodist Girls

Interesting Program
For Girls

One of the many nice things about
Agnes Scott is that each girl has a
“church home”—some church in At-
lanta or Decatur which she regards
as her very own. In the course of
the year, the different churches enter-
tain in some manner the girls affili-
ated with them so that they will feel
less like “strangers in a _ strange
land.” This year, “the season” was
opened by the Philathea class of the
Methodist Church in Decatur, which
gave a party for all the Methodist
girls at the college. Mr. Bayne Gib-
son, the teacher, included in his cord-
ial invitation Dr. McCain, Miss Hop-
kins, and the faculty.

The time was eight o’clock in the
evening of Friday, the 17th of Octo-
ber. The place was the basement of
the Methodist Church. The way of
getting there and back was by means
of the cars which the members of the
class drove.

The guests were welcomed in behalf
of the church by Rey. Eakes, the pas-
tor; in behalf of the Sunday School,
by Colonel Napier, the superintendent
and “the man who keeps tab on Gov-
ernor Walker,” and in behalf of the
elass by Mr. Gibson. After every-

Thirteen Stunts Presented
By Organization

Every graduate of Agnes Scott
carries away with her a certain added
charm which has been labeled Agnes
Scott Spirit. Hoasc is the chief or-
ganization on the campus that fosters
and perpetuates this spirit.

On Saturday night Hoase spirit was
analyzed for us in its composite parts.
Each of the thirteen members of the
class of ‘25 sponsored a stunt given
by the organizations of the campus,
and with a magie key revealed the
spirit of the organization to the pub-
lie.

Pi Alpha Phi revealed by a moving
picture, the fact that it could accom-
plish things of international import-
ance—from a home run on the world
court made by Daisy Frances Smith
to the cancellation of the war debt by
Mr. Tart. The Lecture Association
also brings the students of the col-
lege in contact with the outside world
through distinguished and intellectual
speakers. Through these speakers the
students develop their brains and, inci-
dentally, get food such as crackers and
tea.

The Glee Club gave evidence of its
talent with two delightful choruses,
“Lindy Lou,” and “Carmenia.” The
Cotillion Club exhibited much grace
in its performance of dancing, both
asthetic and jazz. Blackfriars solved
the problem of the pent-up expres-
sions of the soul by giving vent to
them in dramaties.

There was no necessity of closing
one’s eyes to believe that the beautiful

strains of “Melody of Love’’ were com-

ing from the orchestra of the Howard.
Even the colored lights characteristic
of the Howard were not lacking.
The work of the Y. W. C. A, was
uniquely represented through the me-
dium of the wardrobe of a Y. W. C.
A. cabinet member. First, came the
serviceable sport suit for social serv-
ice work; then, the dainty afternoon
frock for the Y. W. C. A. tea given
for the new students; next, the smock,
suitable for wearing when making
posters for Y. W. C, A.; next, Korean
costume for a pageant given for the
benefit of the Korean missionary, etc.
Student Government with its presenta-
tion of the life of Agnes Scott girls in
92, gave us a full realization of what
student government means to us now.

Agnes Scott Entertains
Georgia Synodical

Many Former Agnes
Scott Girls
Present

In order to suit the convenience of
the guests, the date of the reception
given by the officers and faculty of
Agnes Scott for about fifty Presby-
terian woman, who attended the Geor-
gia Synodical in Atlanta, was changed
from the twenty-third of October to
Wednesday afternoon, the twenty-sec-
ond, from 4:30 to 6:00 o'clock. This
is a very prominent organization and
Agnes Scott is proud of the fact that
quite a number of her alumnae are of-
ficers in it.

The reception was held in Rebekah
Scott Hall, which was made attrac-
tive by brightly colored garden flow-
ers. The receiving line was composed
of the following well known members
of the college community: Dr. and
Mrs. McCain, Miss Hopkins, Mrs.
Gaines, Miss McKinney, Miss Smith
and Mrs. Sydensticker.

Several Georgia Presbyterian sen-
iors and juniors, who were acquainted
with some of the guests, were also
asked to assist in the entertainment
and were: Eugenia Perkins, Anne Mc-
Kay, Martha Lin Manly, Belle Walk-
er, Margaret Debele, Evelyn Kennedy
and Sarah Smith.

IN MEMORIAM

One of the most wonderful posses-
sions that a human being can have is
a beautiful memory. This memory
may be the recollection of some phys-
ical aspect of nature—the splendor
of a multi-colored sunset, the quiet
stillness of a summer sunrise, or the
peaceful calm of a rainbow after the
storm—but our most beautiful mem-
ories come from close personal con-
tact with those we have known and
loved, those whom we have called our
friends. From a quiet talk with a
friend one may go away with renewed
strength and energy, ready to meet
life’s battles again.

One of the essentials of friendship
is the power of understanding, the
faculty of entering into another’s life,
of sharing another’s joys and sorrows.
In order to truly understand one must
possess the quality of approachability.
There are some people to whom it is
impossible to go, but there are some
who seem to invite confidence. These
persons to whom we are drawn are
willing to give of their time to others;
they are never too busy to spare a
few moments, never so interested in
self that they cannot forget their
own affairs in another's happiness or
woe. They are the ones who really
understand,

To understanding, sympathy must
be added. A person might under-
stand and yet fail to have compas-
sion. A friend is never thus; tender-
ness and love are essentials of friend-

ship.
The most vital factor of friendship, |

however, is an almost indefinable
something which is bound up in the
spirit of service, in the ability to help
another. If we can go to another
with our sorrows and trials and feel
sure that we shall not find deaf ears,
if from a quiet talk with this per-
son or from the strength of a fervent
handclasp, we can come away with a
new grip on ourselves, with a new
lease on life, then we may know that
this person is truly our friend.

As we think back over the two
years that Margaret has been with
us at Agnes Scott, we realize how
completely she fulfilled these require-
ments of friendship. She was en-
dowed with an understanding heart;
she possessed in a high degree the
quality of approachability; she was
ever ready to give of her time to those
who needed her. Her sympathy flow-
ed freely for those in trouble and
distress. She had that most vital
quality of friendship, the power of
helping another to firm ground again,
of rescuing one from the quagmire of
doubt and despair and giving a new
and brighter outlook on life.

As the days go by the realization
that she is no longer among us will
come to us more sharply, more clear-
ly, more poignantly, but at the same
time we must come to know that her
personality still lives in our midst
and that it cannot die. Her influence
shall dwell with us as a beautiful
memory, and that memory shall be to
us the wondrous example of a true
and noble friend.

BLACKFRIARS INVITED TO EN-
TER INTERCOLLEGIATE
CONTEST

Northwestern University Sponsors
Theatrical Tournament

Blackfriars has recently been in-
vited to take part in a national inter-
collegiate theatrical contest, to be held
at Northwestern University, Evans-
ton, Illinois. The invitation came in
the form of a letter to Miss Gooch,
the director of Blackfriars, and was
sent by Mr. Ralph Dennis, Dean of the
School of Speech, of Northwestern

University. It was a complete sur-

prise to the members of Blackfriars,
and was considered quite a compli-
ment to the ability and reputation of
the club.

The contest is officially called the
University Theater Tournament for
the 1924 Cumnock Cup. The Cum-
nock cup is a memorial to the late
Mr. Cumnock, a professor of English
Speech at Northwestern University,
and at that time, a well-known lead-
er in the movement to devise adequate
scientific methods for teaching expres-
sion. The tournament is designated
as “a one-act play” competition under
the auspices of Northwestern Uni-
versity. It is open to any club or
group of under-graduates in any col-
lege or university; but not more than
nine companies may compete, regis-
trations being accepted in order. Pre-
liminary contests will be held on
Tuesday evening and Wednesday aft-
ernoon and evening, December 30 and
31, 1924; while the final contest will
come Thursday night, January Ist.
The judges for the latter are to be
known men and women chosen by the
contest committee. The decision of
the judges, it is advised, will be based
upon three considerations: Choice of
play, direction, acting; and the win-
ning company will receive the “Cum-
nock Cup, and two hundred and fifty
dollars.

Blackfriars is now considering the
advisability of entering this contest.
The members are enthusiastic over
the plan, believing it will be a first
step in putting Blackfriars on the na-
tional collegiate map of dramatics.
But the question of financing the plan
comes into consideration. As the con-
test is to be held at Northwestern
University, just outside of Chicago,
the cost per member of cast will be
approximately one hundred dollars.
Since a play could hardly be present-
ed with less than three actors, and
the director, the minimum cost to

ceive a one hundred thousand dollar | Blackfriars would be about four hun-

dred dollars. The club, however, has
no fear as to being able to raise the
required sum, in case it is decided
that entering the contest is worth the
expenditure of so much time and
money.

Suspicious Character: “What am I
suupposed to have stolen?”

Police: “A ’orse and van.”

EDITORBAL

It is embarrassing to know that Agnes Scott students have
not advanced beyond the high school age, and that high school
discipline must be enforced here in a standard college. A girl who
has reached the age of going away to college, should have reached
an age of discretion and of appreciation of privilege but it seems
that many of our students have not reached this age yet.

It is just that if one abuses a privilege, that privilege will be
taken away. One of the greatest privileges an Agnes Scott stu-
dent has is the use of the Carnegie Library on our campus. The
behavior in the library for the past six weeks has been truly high
school behavior. Groups of girls have met to discuss their choice
bits of gossip, laughing and giggling in the meanwhile and dis-
turbing the student who is attempting to take notes on study.
Most annoying of all though has been the chewing of gum. There
seemed to be a competition on to see which one could “pop” her
gum the loudest. It is at least undignified and not the proper
behavior for an Agnes Scott girl. There is one place and one only
in which you should chew your gum, if you feel that you must do
so, and that is in your own room.

You have the privilege of signing up for a book for one or two
hours but when your time is up, the book should immediately be
returned to the desk. Every other student has the same privilege
you have, when you fail to return the books promptly to the desk
when the bell rings. You are keeping the girl to whom the book
rightfully belongs from studying, you are also causing the girl at
the desk unnecessary labor and annoyance. The girls who keep
the desk are doing it for you; it is not work they specially enjoy,
it is hard enough without your making it harder. When you force
her to call for a book, or to come over and ask you please to be
quiet, you are acting in an extremely selfish and “high-schoolish”
manner.

On account of this attitude among the students, it has been
found necessary to limit the privilege of the library to those who

are using the library for quiet study. If you are called down for
misbehavior three times in one day, your privilege of the use of
the library will be taken away for one week. “‘As you sow, so must
you reap.” If you fail to return a book to the desk at the end
of the hour and it has to be called for, a fine of twenty-five cents

will be charged, and until this is paid, you will not have the use

of a book.

It is hoped that the reminder of your behavior will be enough
and that your privilege of the use of the library will not have to
be taken away. “Silence is golden”, should be your motto for the

library for this year.

MEETING OF BIBLE CLUB OCTO-
BER 21.

Interesting Program of Lectures
Planned.

In undertaking the work for the
year at the meeting of the Bible Club
on Monday night, October 27, the of-
ficers for 1924-'25 formally began the
performance of their duties. Sallie
Horton, President; Georgia May Little,
Vice-President, and Sarah Smith, Sec-
retary and Treasurer, are leading the
club this year and plan many inter-
esting features, the most important of
which is a feature program of lec-
tures.

The aim of the Bible Club is to give
members of the department a broader
outlook on religious ideas and mod-
ern thought. Lecturers from Atlanta
will speak to the club at various times
and distinguished visitors from other
cities will be brought to the college
from time to time.

At this meeting, Miss Mary E.
Campbell spoke most entertainingly on
“The Travels of Saint Paul as Viewed
Today.’ Her lecture was illustrated
with stereoptican slides and was a real
treat. Some special line of Biblical
study will be taken up at each meet-
ing.

THE LOST AND FOUND BUREAU

“T can’t find my pen anywhere and
that makes the second I’ve lost this
month.” If that is your state, fresh-
man, guide your steps to the Lost and
Found Bureau, Any article lost on
the campus (unless it is your averdu-
pois from bear dancing in gym class)
can be claimed at the Lost and Found
Bureau in the basement of Main,
from 2:15 to 3:15 on Tuesday after-
noons. If you are fortunate enough to
find something instead of losing it,
the article found should be turned in
to Virginia Sevier, 30 Inman. Any un-
claimed articles are sold at the end of
each semester and the proceeds given
to the Athletic Association.

THE

AGONISTIC

GIDDITE GOsslP

Thursday Night in the Library
Dearest Giddy:

It seems like I spend all my time
over here at this library taking notes
or something. I felt so good all day
yesterday though because I couldn’t
stay here—you see I kept a book out
5% minutes over time and they told
me I had to pay 25 cents for doing it
and until I did I couldn't use the li-
brary. As if I wanted to use their
old books! I wouldn’t ever if Miss
Jackson didn’t make me take so many
notes. Well, any way, I didn’t have
a quarter till today so I just stayed
away. It did seem awful funny tho’.

Giddy, I just couldn’t take any more
notes tonight though, cause I've got
some of the funniest thing's to tell you
that you ever heard.

Guess what one of the
said about the exec room. You
know that’s where it—exec—meets
every Monday night and tries cases
and they have a table and lots of
chairs, a pretty rug and a lamp up
there—and a cute window seat too.
Well one of my friends—I’m not going
to tell you her name because you
might laugh at her—happened to look
in there one day and later on when she
found out what it really was said,
“Why I thought that was the teach-
ers’ rest room.” Humph! It’s any-
thing but a “rest” room for most peo-
ple—maybe she’ll find out some day.

Freshmen

Giddy, what would you do if some-
body woke you up at 4 o'clock in the
morning and pointed a pistol at you
and said “hands up!” in a deep bass
voice? Well, that’s what happened to
Margery Speak and Olivia Swann the
other night. They had been in town to
a student volunteer meeting and got
back about twelve o’clock. They
couldn’t find Mr. White anywhere to
get in and every window was locked—
so finally they came in the little vesti-
bule of Rebekah and sat down—they
thought Mr. White would soon be
along. And do you know they both
went to sleep? Yes sir! Right there
on the floor—and at four when Mr.
White came he stumbled over Mar-
gery’s foot and it scared him so that
he got out his pistol. I bet he thought
he was going to capture a dynamiter
or somebody just as bad. Margery
and Olivia were simply petrified, but
they soon got over it— and if you
just want to tease them say: “Oh!
Margery” or “Oh Olivia—I hear you
are going to move down on first floor
of Rebekah soon.’ It’s too funny for
anything.

But (there goes that but again—l
don’t care tho’!), the funniest thing
of all is about Rachel Henderlite—
(that reminds me of hippolite every
time I think about it). She’s so ab-
sent minded it’s pitiful aid the other
day after she’d had gym, she was

HOASC SPONSORS STUNT NIGHT

The Y. W. is trying to bring to the
campus this year people who will be
of real interest to the girls and who
will truly be an inspiration.

We feel that for those who heard
Mrs. Hazen Smith, nothing more need
be said in advertisement of the visit

of secretaries to the campus. Mrs.
Smith is a life work secretary and
there have been many girls who had
the tangled threads in their brains
unraveled by her, so they could look
into the future with a clearer vision.

From November 13th to 16th we are
to have with us Miss Loucks, who is}
especially good on discussion groups.
We hope she can meet with the leaders
of our groups on the campus and give
them some ideas which will improve
our Wednesday night meetings. Miss
Loucks’ theme is “The Way of Christ.”
This fits into our Y. W. program in an
ideal manner, so we hope to gain much
for our services from her.

We are to have other visitors this
year too. It will be some time, but
we want you to be thinking about

welcome as they received at Wesleyan
last year. The Student Volunteers of
Georgia are to meet here in February.
When they met at Wesleyan last year
the entire college gave them a hearty |
welcome. We want Agnes Scott to

sister college. This is just a warn-|

One of the best
things about this conference is the
fact that it brings Mrs. Smith back to
us again.

The Y. W. wants to be of real serv-
ice to the girls. If there is anything
in the way of a suggestion or criticism
you have to make, it will be appre-
ciated and taken jin the spirit in
which it is meant, so come to use with
any good ideas you may have.

The publications seem to always
have the faculty of presenting some-

They can even make such “hum-drum”
things as reporting for the “Aggie,”
taking pictures for the Silhouette, and
writing poetry, seem quite new and
original when done backwards. The
Literary Societies contributed a rom-

FLAKE-COLE WEDDING.

A wedding of much interest to
Agnes Scott was solemnized at Con-
yers, Ga., last Wednesday evening,
October 22, at the First Methodist
church, when Miss Elizabeth Flake, a
graduate of ’23, became the bride of
Mr. Frederick Winship Cole.

The church was beautifully deco-
rated. Preceding the ceremony Miss
Pocahontas Wight gave a violin solo,
accompanied by Miss Annie Johnson,
and Mrs. Parker sang, “Until.” The
bride was preceded by her brides-
maids, Misses Sarah Flake, sister of
the bride, and Clara Cole, sister of
the groom. They wore dresses of
lavendar Georgette, trimmed in ost-
rich and carried pink Killarney roses.
Annie Laurie Flake, also of Agnes
Scott, was her sister’s maid of honor,
and was gowned in pink Georgette,
carrying roses of a deeper pink shade.
The groomsmen were Messrs. Paul
Fraser and Ernest Dowman, and the
ushers were Dr. Ansley and Mr. Aus-
tin Emerson.

The bride came in on the arm of
her father and was met at the altar by
the groom and his best man, Mr. Shell-
man Boston, The bride wore a dress
of white chiffon over satin, trimmed
in lace and seed pearls. The white
veil caught with orange blossoms,
made her brunette beauty even more
striking,

After the ceremony a reception was
held at the home of the bride. The
bride’s book was kept by Miss Frances
Baldwin, of Conyers and about 100
guests were registered.

Among the Agnes Scott girls at-
tending the wedding were: Pocahon-
tas Wight, Annie Johnson, Mildred
Pitner, Elizabeth Cole, Catherine Car-
rier, Catherine Randolph, Edith and
Phillippa Gilchrist and Sarah W.
Cowan.

Carrie Ceandrett was a visitor at
the college this week.

At the reception given by Agnes
Scott for the Georgia Synodical there
were a number who felt quite at home,
being our own alumnae. Among these
were: Mrs. J. L. Campbell, (Mary
Jones) who now boasts of being a
grandmother; Mrs. Frank Smith
(Alice Coffin), who is Sarah’s mother;
Mrs. W. A. Turner (Annie Kirk Dow-
dell), president of the organization;
Mrs. Lewis M. Gaines (Ethel Alex-
ander), Miss Alexander's sister, and
Mrs. Homer McAfee Mec MaclIn-
tyre). It is also very gratifying
to note that most of the speakers of
the convention have been Agnes Scott
graduates.

Pine Lodge which is sufficient proof
of the efficiency of the Athletic Asso-
ciation, completed the list of stunts
of the various organizations.

DR. CARL VAN DOREN WILL LEC-
TURE HERE OCTOBER 28.
(Continued from Page 1; Column 1.)

nois. It is interesting to note that
during the past year Dr. Van Doren
has declined offers to become literary
advisor to a prominent publishing
house, chief critic on a leading news-
paper and president of a state uni-
versity. He has declined all of these
with thanks, for he feels that his
“forte” is writing and lecturing.

His position in the literary world as
an eminent critic is firmly established.
This was evidenced in the recent page
article in the New York Times Book
Review, in a very interesting sketch
of Mr. Van Doren, written by Henry
James Forman. The review has to do
with the publication of “Many Minds,”
Mr. Van Doren’s latest book, yet it
reveals a most interesting insight into
the mind and abilities of Mr. Van
Doren. Interesting paragraphs are
quoted here:

“As a historian of the contempor-
ary American novel he is unsurpassed.
As a eritie of current forms and au-
thors no commentator has shown a
saner insight. He has of late brought

a new self-respect to American writ-
ers. No longer need they wait for
foreign endorsement before being un-
derstood, as Poe was obliged to wait,
and Whitman. He has not even
shrunk, as witness “Many Minds,”
from pronouncing judgment upon him-
self. Now, he speaks of withdrawing
to other provinces. Where is the au-
thority that can prevent this mis-
fortune! Could the Republican party
contrive it? Or, would a round-robin
signed by all American authors be
more efficacious ?”

“There is something disarming

about Van Doren’s impersonality—dis- |

arming and cool, but seldom cold. An
Emersonian note often creeps into his
sentences, If there is no overwhelm-
ing enthusiasm in them, there is never
any venom. He is virtually never
lyrical, but when he begins to finger
the wealth of a talent the pulse of
his writings quickens. But he never
passes dross for gold. His touch for

the counterfeit is as unerring as a
banker is said to be. He is never cruel
because he is never personal. Even in
his paper upon himself, the last in the
book, he is, allowing for conventional
modesty, as just and as candid as
he might be to a friend—or to an
enemy.”

“And now, as I have said, he speaks
of retiring to other provinces. One
wishes that perorations were cus-
tomary in book reviews as they still
are in political speeches. Then one
might in a tone of appeal have said:

“Gentlemen, make your steel, mine
your coal, legislate about hogs, wheat
and oil. But literature is the soul of
a country. Without a literature all
these other things are of worth to the
economic man alone, a dead abstrac-
tion. And to have a great literature
and a vital one, vital critics are neces-
sary. So, if Carl Van Doren refuses
any longer to serve as a critic, he must
be drafted for the service.”

state; in its imterpretation of the
movement to the entertaining college,
to the colleges represented, and to the
Student Volunteers; and in its oppor-
tunity for representative discussion
groups. The question of State Con-
ferences is of especial interest to
Agnes Scott because of the fact that
she is to be hostess to*the 1925 con-
ference to be held February 16-18.
Plans are being made to center the
conference about two big speak-
ers, one a specialist in missions, the
other an authority on international
affairs, with many discussion groups
led by students.

On Sunday afternoon there was an-
other discussion on the importance of
Student Volunteer local groups; on
Sunday night, discussions of the rea-
sons why Student Volunteers do not all
reach the mission field, and of the
problems of individual volunteers, fol-
lowed by reports from the officers.

The election of members to the
Sixth National Council, meeting at
Yonkers, N. Y., December 27-31, was
also a feature of the meeting. Mr.
Marvin Harper of Emory, and Miss
Verna Scarborough of G. S. W. C.
were elected, but Agnes Scott will be
especially interested to hear that Nan-
ey Lou Knight was chosen alternate
for Miss Scarborough.

The personnel of the council was as
follows: (1) The executive committee
of the union, i. e.: Oma Goodson, G. S.
C. W., President; G. C. Baker, Emory,
Vice-President; Mary Bonner, State
Normal, Secretary; Mary Goodrich,
Atlanta, Out-of-College Secretary;
Marvin Harper, Emory, and Emmie
Ficklen, Washington, Ga., National
Council Members; Miriam Spruell, La-
Grange College, Poster Chairman;
Margery Speake, Agnes Scott, Editor;
Phil Narmore, Georgia Tech, Publica-
tion Manager. (2) Group leaders from
the Georgia Colleges, i. e. Lois Wal-
don, State Normal; Mary Lou Barn-
well, Wesleyan; Mary Appleby, Short-
er; J. C. Thoroughman, Emory; Mer-
lin Bishop, South Georgia College;
Olivia Swann, Agnes Scott.

Pine Lodge is rivaling the Library
in its popularity. However, the charm
of the one lies in its ability to fill
notebooks while the other scores on its
pleasure producing element. Not a
week-end passes but that a group of
girls find themselves enjoying the
life that only a camp can offer. Never-
theless even a hut can’t continue its
existence without some upkeep. First
we must “save the surface and save
all,’ by applying a coat of DeVoe
paint. Then wood is needed for the
fires this winter; and a water sup-
ply, in the form of a pump, is to be
installed. So in order to do these
things the Athletic Association has
decided to charge each girl a fee of
25 cents for the use of the camp over
a week-end.

Polly Stone and Frances Amis,
seniors of last year, chaperoned a
party out on Saturday, October 18.
The girls who went were: Spivey,
Ann McKay, Ella Smith, Peg Hyatt,

fall’s speaker will be equally as good.

Up to Thanksgiving Day, there will

Mrs. Hudson, who was hired by Uncle

Dr. Hatton Lectures To
History Classes
Saturday, Oct. 25

“Parties and Party Blocs”
Interesting Subject

On Saturday morning from eleven-
thirty to twelve-thirty Dr. Augustus
Raymond Hatton gave an unusually
interesting lecture in the chapel, his
subject being “Parties and Party
Blocs.” History students were in-
deed fortunate in being able to attend
his lecture, and learn from one who
knows his subject thoroughly. Dr.
Hatton was afterwards entertained at
lunch in the Alumnae House.

Dr. Hatton has been giving a series
of lectures in Atlanta under the aus-
pices of the Atlanta League of Wom-
en Voters. He has spoken before the
members of the Junior Chamber of
Commerce, the Civitans, the Christian
Council at the colored Y. M. C. A.,
the Rotarians, and the Masonic Club,
besides lecturing each morning and
evening at the Watkins building. He
has been discussing government and
civic management.

Dr. Hatton is a man international-
ly known. He is a charter expert,
having made a study of city charters
for the past fifteen years. He is
a lecturer on municipal government
and civic problems and a specialist on
city charters and state constitutions.
Dr. Hatton has just returned from
abroad where during the past sum-
mer, he gave many talks on state and
city government. The audiences to
which he spoke were greatly interest-
ted in the United States’ new idea of
city manager form of government,
which at the present time is generally
thought of as the most successful
form of government for large. cities.

Besides being a lecturer of great
note, in truth of international fame,
Dr. Hatton is professor of Political
Science at Western Reserve Uni-
versity in Cleveland, Ohio. He wrote
the charter of this city, and is now
a@ commissioner there. He was a
member of the council of the National
Municipal League, and field director
of the same in 1917. He is the author
of the “Digest of City Charters,”
which was published in 1906, and also
of various articles on municipal gov-
ernment.

Agnes Scott may indeed feel fortu-
# nate in having secured the famous
Dr. Augustus Raymond Hatton to
lecture on a subject with which he is

i Dr. Lilly To Be Y. W. C. A.
Speaker For 1924

Dr. D. Clay Lilly, pastor of the
Reynolds Presbyterian Church, of
Winstom-Salem, North Carolina, is
going to talk to the Agnes Scott com-
munity at the chapel period during a
Wiweek in November. Dr. Lilly is very
distinguished in Presbyterian church
cireles. Last summer he instigated
a conference of the most notable men
in America in the lines of science,
education and theology. Besides, he
has been chairman of the general
assembly of stewardship committee,
one of the most important offices in
Presbyterian church affairs, He, him-
self, is an outstanding theologian and
is always consulted when a change is
contemplated involving church polity.

During the fall he wrote an import-
ant book on stewardship which is re-
garded as an authority on that sub-
ject. In addition he has contributed
many articles to magazines. His
particular forte is personal work,
which he emphasizes strongly in all
that he does.

Although distinguished in his own
right, Dr. Lilly is also connected with
important people. For instance, he

Theatrical Contest

“The Conflict” Chosen As Play
To Be Presented

Blackfriars has sent in her regis-
tration for the national intercolleg-
iate theatrical tournament, to be held
at Northwestern University in the
last part of December. Only nine
standard colleges are allowed to par-
ticipate in the contest, and, if the
Blackfriars registration is received in
time, Agnes Scott will be one of the
nine. The tentative choice of a one-
act play to be presented by Black-
friars at that time is “The Conflict,”
written by Clarice Vallette McCaul-
ey, and played for the first time in
1920, by the Vagabond Players of
Baltimore. “The Conflict” has four
characters, a mother, her two daugh-
ters, and a_ twelve-year-old

As concerns the financial means
of undertaking this project Black-
friars has not yet made definite plans.
It may be that the money taken in
from the various plays given at the
college will enable the club, unaided,
to send its players to Illinois. Or per-
haps the players themselves will be
requested to pay a third of their ex-
penses, the student body, a third, and
the club the other third. No matter
how the money is to be raised, the
important fact is: That Blackfriars
is going to Northwestern University
to put up a stiff fight for the loving
cup. As soon as Miss Gooch hears
from Mr. Dennis, chairman of the
tournament committee, enthusiastic
work will begin on “The Conflict.”

Miss Alexander Addresses
Members of Senior Class

The Senior class of 1925 was given
its formal right to the coveted cap
and gown on Wednesday, November
5. In other words, that day has come
in their lives, for the ceremony
at which they looked in awe and hush-
ed admiration when freshmen, in
thrilled comradeship when sophomore
sisters, in pleased anticipation when
juniors.

To the inspiring strains of “An-
cient of Days,’ the academic line
marched down the chapel aisle; the
faculty, followed by the sophomore
sisters dressed in white, and the
senior class. A line was formed on
each side of the aisle by the sopho-
mores, through which the seniors
marched to their seats in front.

After an inspirational address by |

Miss Alexander the class of ’25
marched singly to the stage, and there
Miss Hopkins placed upon their heads
the caps significant of their satis-
factory completion of three years of
college work. It is one of the red-
letter days on the Agnes Scott calen-
dar—Investiture Day.

Mr. McRae Lectures
On LaFollette Party

International Relations Club
Sponsors Lecture

Through the efforts of the Interna-
tional Relations Club, we were very
fortunate in having Mr. McRae, a
speaker for the La Follette party,
give an interesting as well as en-
lightening lecture on the third party
and its leader Monday afternoon in
the chapel.

As Mr. McRae stated, the audience
was not perhaps entirely sympathetic
but after very convincing arguments,
his listeners left with a clearer under-
standing of just what La Follette and
his party stand for, even if their sym-
pathies were not swayed. Probably,
the best influence that this lecture
had was on the minds of those who
considered this leader radical, es-
pecially after a previous lecture by

Plans For Vay. Student Cottage
Being Completed

Under the zealous leadership of
Isabel Clarke, the president, the day
students this year have been eagerly
working in order to procure the money
for the building of their long-dream-
ed-of cottage. About one-half of the
necessary $3,000 has already been ob-
tained, besides a number of unpaid
pledges of girls in the college, which

| will probably be collected soon.

In their endeavor to procure mon-
ey, the day students do not despise
the most modest of ways. For quite
a while they have been selling old
papers and magazines, and the stu-
dents in the dormitories are asked to
put theirs in the boxes placed for
that purpose on the different floors.
Tinfoil is also being saved by the
day students, and they have a box for
it in the basement of the library. Re-
cently candy is being sold in the same
place, and this means of making
money has been very successful. Still
another prosperous establishment in
the library is that of the hair-clip-
ping shop. A new pair of clippers
was bought for the purpose, and any
one whose neck needs attending to
may come to the basement any day
between 1:30 and 3:15 and bring 10
cents.

The day students are continuing to
make plans for the realization of their
cottage. On November the eighth,
the much talked of musical comedy
will be presented. From all reports,
this will be one of the most enter-
taining Saturday nights we are to en-
joy, and without doubt the audi-
torium will be crowded. Besides the
play, this energetic group of students
is planning a rummage sale in Decem-
ber, and everyone is urged to save
contributions for it.

The exact location of the cottage
is not yet known, but according to the
plans for the new buildings on the
campus, it will likely be either be-
tween Inman and the Alumnae house
ing will probably be brick. The build-
in gwill probably be brick, and con-
tain a large club room and some bed
rooms. The need for such a cottage
is certainly evident, and all help in
its accomplishment will be appre-
ciated.

Interesting Lecture On
“Revolt Against Dullness”

We have had lecturers who have
given us delightfully amusing enter-
tainment; others who have impressed
us with their great show of knowl-
edge; still others who, by their
lengthy discourses, have made us
clearly conscious of the hardness of
the chapel seats. Dr. Carl Van Doren
could be classed with none of these.
He does not lend his speech to flattery
or extravagances of expression, but
has a very pleasing style and per-
sonality all his own. One of the
most delightful characteristics of his
discourse is the light vein of humor
that flows continually. Evidences of
a charming personality could be
glimpsed quite often in his lecture in
the chapel on Tuesday afternoon. His
subject, “The Revolt Against Dull-
ness” is in itself a stimulus; yet his
treatment of it served to strengthen
this stimulus to the extent that we
were not quite willing to accept all
of his statements until we had gone
home and reviewed his lecture as a
whole.

In his discourse he narrowed his
subject down to the field of litera-
ture. His controlling purpose was to
show how the standardization which
grew up in the nineteenth century is
being revolted against today in litera-
ture by satire and romance. Dr. Van
Doren varied the usual formal type
of discourse used by the modern
speaker and treated his subject in an
informal manner.

He began by giving the defining
stage a very large place. Since the
idea of dullness in America is com-
paratively new, and since we are just
recently waking up to the fact, it
was necessary that he explain just
what he meant by it. Dullness, he
said, is the result of standardization
of the nineteenth century. The ma-
chines which were invented during
that century have brought the Ameri-
ean people to a standardized way of
living, and this has resulted in uni-
formity of thinking. Opinion, he
pointed out, is the only thing you
can not standardize with advantage.
He brought up the evils of “im-
mentality” as greater than the evils
of immorality. Do not let goodness

Cotillion Club
Entertains at a Formal
Dance November 1

Japanese Dances Feature
Program

Evening dresses and a decorated
gym!

That is what the dance given by the
Cotillion Club on Saturday night,
November 1, meant—plus a wonderful
time.

The gym was veritably transformed
into a Japanese Garden. Lanterns
and brilliantly colored umbrellas hung
all around, while in each corner of
the room bright chrysanthemums
drooped over dolls, beautiful dolls,
having tea parties all their own. Blue,
lavender, pink and yellow vied with
one another for the place as most
prominent color.

The dance was formally opened by
the grand march, led by Elizabeth
Little and Mary Keesler. Confetti
was showered upon the participants,
making the scene under the mystic
lights very beautiful, and adding
greatly to the gaiety of the occasion.

A well supplied punch bowl was
most popular, attesting to the good-
ness of its contents.

During intermission the guests of
the Cotillion Club were entertained
with three attractive Japanese
dances: the Lantern dance, the Um-
brella dance, and the Juggler’s dance.

It would be quite interesting if we could obtain statistics of
the number of girls at Agnes Scott who ever read the New York
Times, the Constitution, the Literary Digest, or any other daily
or weekly paper on contemporary events of interest to Americans,
which are of both national and international importance. It is
feared that the number would be exceedingly small, in fact dis-
gracefully small. Does this show a lack of. interest among college
students of today on the leading questions in the political and
economic world?

We hope that the numerous lectures, sponsored by the Inter-
national Relations Club, on the party issues, platforms and candi-
dates in this election, which is one of the most important in years,
on account of the rise to prominence of a third party, have aroused
the interest of the student body so much that each one will be
anxious to learn on November 5 whom the American people have
elected president for the next four years. It is hoped that this
interest having been awakened will last throughout the year.

Instead of there being a tendency to ignore contemporary his-
tory, the American college students should be vitally interested
in it. At no other time in our history have the events been of
more importance both to us as a nation and as a member of the
family of nations. The American college student of today is the
voter of tomorrow. Upon them will depend the policies of America
in the next few years.

It is the duty of every Agnes Scott girl to become interested
and well informed upon current problems of government. Agnes
Scott attempts to bring lecturers to you, but to know something
of the situation, you should read the development from day to
day. At present few girls, out of the Debating Club and History
Nine ever read articles on current events. The library takes the

leading daily papers and the weekly and monthly magazines, which
are considered the most impartial and influential magazines of
today. Won’t you use these papers occasionally and thereby es-
tablish a standard of interest in world affairs for future Agnes
Scott girls and American citizens?

“LITTLE GIRL” DAY NOY. 4TH. | MACDONALD, ESSIG AND BLED-

SOE ADMITTED TO FOLIO

Seniors Become Young Again
As the result of the try-outs held
last week, Folio has three new mem-
bers. Janet MacDonald, Caroline
Essig, and Myrtle Bledsoe were judged
worthy of being admitted to the
Freshman Short-Story Club.
Although the seven tryouts were
discussed at the meeting held
Mariam Preston’s room the week be-
fore last, no decision could be reached
until last week. The girls met again
in Mrs. Dickman’s office and reached
their final decision. Initiation will be
held soon, and the club ready to begin
this year’s work in earnest. The old
members are looking forward to re-

ceiving these three girls with a great
deal of pleasure and wish them the
best success in story-writing.

The freshmen felt themselves quite
old and wise Tuesday when their sen-
ior grandmothers turned back the
years and resumed the role of little
girls once more, before departing from
their school days to go out into the
world where they will be little girls no
longer, The dining room resounded
with merry laughter and nursery
songs as the seniors skipped into
breakfast and bade the faculty and
student body good-morning. Through-
out the day, they giggled and played
games in true little girl fashion, and
the students who watched the fun
saw these seniors as they were in
their childhood.

decorated in the approved ghostly
fashion and the dim lighting produced
the feeling of mystery in a truly
spooky way.

Instead of the conventional black
cat, owl druidical witch, ete. the
Hallowe’en motif was carried out by
the superstitions and mystery lore of
the ancient Romans. Various mem-
bers of the club were featured in
readings from the classical authors
on practices which correspond to our

Hallowe’en superstitions. One of the
most charming of these concerned the
story of a young girl who consulted
the traditional witch to learn of her
fate in a perplexing love affair. An-
other was a “Song of the Fates.”
Throughout the range of this un-
usually delightful program, there_

were other equally good representa-
tions of folk-lore and superstitions

from the classics, and all had a ring
of modernity which is so typical of
these authors but is often so startling
to the uninitiated.

There were some musical selections,
and the whole party joined in songs
which would have made Virgil and his
fellows forget that they were in a
strange land. Indeed, Virgil would
have been quite captivated by the use
of his prophetic leaves by anxious
Agnes Scotters who desired to know
the future. Sophomores and fresh-
men were dumfounded by the remarks
of the ancient apropos to their own
particular week, and by this same wise
gentleman, and the fate of exams
was settled at last, much to the de- '
light of all who attended the “seance”
of the club.

GIDDIE, GOSsIP

Thursday night—

§ Giddy, dear:

It seems like every time I write
you there’s always something to take
the joy out of life—this time it’s
Latin Prose! You may think I’m
joking about it being hard, but just let
me tell you something—it took a lot
of the seniors three years to pass it
—and they ought to be real smart. So
far I haven’t flunked but one exercise,
but I’ve got “anawful” test tomor-
row and I don’t know a thing. Why,
I’ve taken so many coaching lessons
from Miss Stansfield that she'll have
enough money to take a trip around
the world pretty soon. I heard some
senior say that a girl named ‘Gusta
Thomas gave her one (a trip to Eu-
rope, I mean), but I think mine’s go-
ing to be the farthest.

Giddy, have you ever heard of Lucy
Winn? She’s about the funniest thing
you ever saw. Sine says that the
other day in education class, after Mr.
Stukes had called the roll and Lucy’s
name was last she said: “Oh, Mr.
Stukes! I’m so glad you’ve put my
name at end of the roll where it be-
longs. It always made me jump when
you called it first.” That made Mr.
Stukes and the whole class laugh and
then he said: “Well, Miss Luey—from
now on you can be first again if you
want to.”

Guess what I heard somebody say
the other day, Giddy? That Miss Daisy
Frances—she just graduated last year
—was so lazy that she got up at five
o'clock every morning so she’d have
more time to loaf. I really think,

though, they must have been wrong
because she always seems pretty busy
to me.

cause dullness; rather develop the
full mental capacity than give too
much attention to morals.

The United States is beginning a
period of intellectual activity greater
than ever before. The last decade
has brought the best literature of
the country. The revolt against this
standardization has come during this
period in the form of satire and
romance,

Having thus completed the defini-
tion and analysis of dullness he next
dwelt on the nature of the revolt, it-
self. As an outgrowth of standardi-
zation of opinions, first came the re-
volt in the form of satire by Sin-
clair Lewis—‘Main Street” and “Bab-
bit.” The thing which Mr. Lewis de-
plores in “Main Street” is the low
level of intelligence caused by the
standardization of opinion. Carol

typical small town and revolted from
the monotony of conforming to its
set rules and standards, but who
lacked the intelligence to make the
revolt effective.

Another revolt in literature in the
past decade was made in the realm
of romance by Caval in his romances.
He is much like Spenser in his cast-
ing aside the universe and inventing
a new world of pure fancy and put-
ting new characters on it. In this
way he would keep a new world of
beauty before us. The fact that so

many girls are deserting the teach-
er’s sphere and are going into the
literary field is another evidence of
the revolt and of the probability that
it is now at its greatest height.

A Miserable Miser.

I knew a man that was so stingy he
married an armless woman to keep
from buying the ring—he used to stop
the clock at nights to keep from
wearing out the works. He would look
over his glasses to keep them from
wearing out. He used to take long
steps when he walked, to save his
shoes. When he sent his hired man
into the orchard to gather cherries he
would keep him whistling all the time

representatives of the Democratic
party who had very definite effects
on our prejudiced minds.

It is evident that Mr. La Follette
is a man who will fight to the end
for what he believes is right as seen
in his political life. During his cam-
paign for governor of Wisconsin for
a second time, he spoke for forty-eight
days, and eight hours a day. He had
great difficulty in being elected, but
by his persistence he finally won a
complete victory. During his office
as governor, he made many improve-
ments, and was able to put through
progressive movements in railroad
transportation, manufacturing, bank-
ing systems, and dairy concerns. He
thus proved that if “radical” move-
ments were beneficial for the people
of one state, they would be relief for
the whole nation.

Mr. La Follette’s platform consists
of two very definite “planks”: His
movement against the supreme court,
and his foreign policy. Mr. McRae
insisted that since La Follette ad-
hered strictly to the constitution he

proposed to present to the people an|

amendment to be added to the consti-

tution, whereby the supreme court
could not have power to exercise votes
against Congress, the representatives
of the people.

“Pm—er—afraid not,’ was the
reply.

“Well, haven’t you any idea

where it was?”

“Why, uh—oh, yes, to be sure.”
The professor brightened up per-
ceptibly, “I did notice at one time
this afternoon that the windows look-
ed out upon a little lake.”

Porter: “This train goes to Syra-
cuse and points west.”

Old Lady: “Well, I want a train
that goes to Buffalo, and I don’t
care which way it points.”

“How’s business, these days?”
“Terrible.”

“Well, how’s your wife?”
“Just the same.”

The Freshman’s Three Best Sellers.
1. “If Winter Comes” try and stop

2. “Gone but Not Forgotten’”—the

rousing tale of a room-mate who
snored.
3. “Bound to Rise”—tells about

how Fleischmann made his millions.
A stirring tale of the East—it takes
the cake.

Mr. La Follette is absolutely
against the League of Nations and
World Court. He does not believe
that the United States should become
entangled in foreign political affairs,
but he is in favor of some kind of
board of arbitration that will control
international affairs, and not the gov-
ernment of any one country.

The present party has done noth-
ing in the way of compelling the for-
eign loans to be paid, because of the
bankers who are in control and waht
their private debts paid first. Mr. La
Follette seems to think that by a
board of arbitration these matters
can be settled.

Mr. La Follette has been unneces-
sarily abused by newspapers that
have not analyzed his platform and
but Mr. McRae
vineed as are all of his followers,
that La Follette, whether elected or
not, will be the most powerful man
in the White House after January,

As tests approach and the freshmen
grades come out our attention is apt
to be given to our mental! activities,
while our physical being is neglected.
However, if we stop to think just a
minute, we will realize that eight

hours of sleep a night, three meals a}

day, and six hours of exercise a week
are essential to the correct function-
ing of our brains, and are not just a
waste of time.

can go to a hockey practice and not
get excited. There is always some-
thing ludicrous happening in “gym”
classes. Carp is ever doing one of
her dare-devil rolling stunts across the
hockey field or Spivey knocking a ball
so that it resembles a shooting star, to
say nothing of the circuses that Miss
Sinclaire conducts. And swimming is
much fun even if the pool is small.

By the way, have you noticed the
new hockey sticks? The game is
much more interesting when the play-
ers were shinguards and use brand
new sticks. If you don’t believe it,
just come out and see!

Saturday marked the half-way
ground of the class series of games.
And just think every class still has a
chance to win the championship! Come
out to practice and not only fill your
exercise card, but help your class to
win; furthermore, you'll enjoy it too.

The Ultimate Tragedy

The policeman, hearing the shot,
burst into the fashionable apartment.
Cringing before him on the floor was
the crumpled figure of a woman,
weeping hysterically, a smoking pistol
clutched in her trembling fingers.

“My husband! Oh, my husband!”
she moaned.

“Control yourself, lady,” urged the
officer. “Where is the corpse?”

“Gone,” sobbed the woman. “He
went out through the window. I—I
missed him.”

three hundred members of the Y, W.

anyone to pledge unwillingly, or more

that there are many who might be

Day Students Present “The
String "Em Girl” November 8

)

Musical Comedy Featured
By Choruses and Dances

It is not always true that anticipa-
tion is better than realization, but al-
though we had heard many delightful
reports of “The String ‘Em Girl,” we
were not one bit disappointed when
we finally saw this musical gem writ-
‘ten by the facile pen of Mary Lynes.
‘The choruses were especially good,
having as one of their main features,
“In the Garden of Tomorrow,” sung by
Hazel Huff and Ruth Drane. Gene
‘Dozier rendered an exceptionally
clever and graceful dance in the in-
termission between the second and
third acts. Isabelle Clarke made a
handsome and dashing hero for the
dainty heroine, Kitty Johnson, who in
her 1924 style flapped her way into
‘all our hearts. Virginia MHollings-
worth and Rosalie Wooten gave us
harming’ pictures into the lives of a
modern flapper’s mother and grand-
mother who were not such angels as
they would pretend they had been in
their day.

of the Board of |
Trustees

Under His Leadership Agnes
Seott Has Had Great
Success

The more we learn of our college,
its history and its officers, the more
we admire and respect its spirit and
achievements. As an institution of
learning, it has won extensive recog-
nition among the colleges and uni-
versities of highest rank. Such suc-
cess comes only to #4 institution
whose foundation is bvilt on truth,
breadth of vision, greatness of pur-
pose, and high ideals; whose officers
recognize these factors and further
them to the best of their ability. Mr.
J. K. Orr, who first served as one
of the board of trustees, and who has
served as chairman of the board for
the past fifteen years, has indeed,
been an observer of these principles.

Under his leadership as chairman,
the college has made the greatest
advancement in educational recogni-
tion and also in material resources of
any period of its history. He led
three very successful campaigns for
the college. The endowment compaign
of 1909, for which he was responsi-
ble, was the first organized effort of
the kind ever tried in 4

Pi Alpha Phi Receives
Two Challenges

Emory and University of
Tennessee Ask For Debates

No Plans Have Been Made

Pi Alpha Phi, already in the midst
of its preparations for the annual In-
tercollegiate Debate with Randolph-
Macon and Sophie Newcomb, has just
received challenges from two of the
leading Southern colleges—Emory
University and the University of
Tennessee. The of the
faculty, alumnae and student body,

members

who are especially interested in de-
bating, feel that these challenges
come as recognition of the high stand-
ard of debating maintained at Agnes
Scott by Pi Alpha Phi and the De-
bating council.

Emory University challenges us to
a series of practice debates with their
freshman team. Although the matter
has not come before the council, the
sentiment seems to be against allow-
ing our girls to debate against any
team which does not represent the
university. Emory’s offer is, of
course, merely tentative. No subject
for the debate was suggested, and no
definite arrangements have been
made, ”

Both these challenges will be care-
fully considered at the next meeting
of the Debating Council, and a decis-
ion made as soon as possible,

our college was placed on approved

Program
Interesting Talks in Chapel by

Student, Alumnae, Faculty
and Trustees

On Saturday morning, November
the first, Hoase had charge of chapel
and devoted it to promoting a spirit
among the girls of trying to keep the
campus clean, Every group that
would be interested in having an
attractive campus was represented,
Louise Buchanan speaking for the stu-
dnets, Miss Davis for the faculty, Miss
Nell Buchanan for the alumnae and
Dr. McCain for the board of trustees.

Louise Buchanan, president of
Hoase, declared) that although we
could not construct such things as
beautiful buildings, we could do our
part in keeping the campus from be
ing littered up by trash and papers
that should have been thrown in the
trash cans.

Miss Davis, who because of a cold,
spoke through the interpretation of
Miss Bland, said that we do not need
to clean up as much as to keep clean.
She declared that our attitude to-
ward the campus was much that of
the Saturday night bath, that we clean
up only for special occasions such as
May Day and Commencement and
let the campus go disorderly the rest
of the year. Miss Davis is the chair-
man of a faculty committee which
sponsors the advancement of beauty
on the campus, and she mentioned

ni plans of: this eq imittee to. trans-
plant some trees, such as dogwood,|tury Club in New York and honorary —

on the campus.

Miss. Nell Buchanan, representing
an alumnae committee for the wel-
fare of the campus, told of the in-
terest of that organization in having
a campus of which its members would
be proud when returning to Agnes

Blackfriars Take In

Blackfriars held its semi-annual

out, most of the parts being taken
from the plays of Shakespeare and

Frances Freeborn, Elizabeth Mece-

President of Phi Beta Kappa
To Lecture Here

Agnes Scott is always interested in
having visitors—especially visitors of
note, so the college community is de-
lighted that Agnes Scott is to have
Dr, Charles Franklin Thwing lecture
and visit us on November 10, 11 and
12. We are delighted that Agnes
Scott is to have the privilege of hear-
ing Dr. Thwing lecture several times
while he is visiting us.

Dr. Thwing has obtained so many
degrees, held so many responsible po-
sitions, is a member of so many ¢clubs,
and is author of such a long list of
books, that it takes half a page in
“Who’s Who” merely to give a list
of them. He secured his degree of
Bachelor of Arts at Harvard in 1876,
graduated from the Andover Theologi-
cal Seminary in 1879, obtained his S.
T. D. at the Chicago Theological Sem-
inary in 1889 and his Litt. D. at the
University of Pennsylvania in 1917;
besides acquiring degrees from quite
a few other colleges. He has been
engaged in the work of a pastor at
Cambridge, Mass. and Minneapolis,
Minn.; was president of Western Re-
serve University and Adelbert College
from 1890 to 1921; secretary of the
board of trustees of the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement of
Teaching from 1905 to 1921; elector
of the Hall of Fame; vice-president
of the Cleveland branch of the Eng-
lish-Speaking Union; and chairman
of the Ohio Commission of the Near
East Relief. He is a member of the
Authors’ Club at London, the British-
American Club at Oxford, the Cen-

member of the Union Club.

His versatile mind leads him into
numerous paths, for he is also the
author of many books, which deal with
education, college life, family life, and
the ministry. Among his books are:
“The Family”, “The College Woman”,
“The American College in American
Life”, “The Choice of a College’, “A
Liberal Education and a _ Liberal
Faith”, “The American College”, “The
American Colleges and Universities
in the Great War”, and “What Edu-

Dr. Lilly is prominent for many
reasons, Besides having been pastor of
several leading Presbyterian churches,
he is in charge of the Lamon Mis-
sionary Movement, which includes all
denominations, and is chairman of the
Stewardship Committee, whose duty it
is to look after the raising of all funds
for benevolences. His latest achieve-
ment is the organization of the Reno-
yaldo Conference. He plans to make
this an annual gathering of twenty-
five or thirty of the most prominent
men of the United States to discuss
all religious problems. Last year this
meeting was the most interesting of
its kind ever held in this country. Mrs.
Lilly will come with Dr. Lilly. She
is the daughter of the famous Dr.
Guerrant, who founded scores of

THE STUDENT AND STUDENT ACTIVITIES.

So much has been written recently on the subject of the place
of student activities in the college that it is well-nigh impossible
to throw any new light on the matter. The question is, however,
one of vital interest in academic circles and one which invites
expression of opinion. The problems of inter-collegiate athletics
have assumed amazing proportions and have aroused more con-
troversy, pro and con, than perhaps any phase of student life
today. In a college for women this annoying question is happily
of practically no importance.

The activities which are of major importance in the college
for women have this advantage—that they are more or less closely

related to scholastic work and are, therefore, less open to criticism
than the athletic problem. Work on College newspapers and maga-
zines, membership in dramatic clubs, debating societies, and writ-
ers clubs, and participation in the work of the Y. W. C. A. and
like organizations, afford valuable experience and present excellent
opportunities for the development of independent thinking and
mature judgment. No one denies that work of this kind is bene-
ficial to the student. The question, in our opinion, is how much
importance should activities assume and how much of the student’s
time should she devote to “outside work” in comparison with the
time spent on the courses included in her schedule.

A familiar refrain sung by students and graduates of our col-
leges today voices the sentiment that activities in the final reck-
oning are of greater worth than regular classroom work. This
attitude is destructive of the highest ideals of education. The
courses outlined in the college curriculum are the legitimate fields
of intellectual development for the student. There it is that she
should do really constructive thinking. Courses are not taught to
be learned mechanically by unreasoning students. We learn that
we may live better and more fully. The new facts and new ideas
imparted to us should become parts of our very being. They con-
stitute the ground-work on which we are to build a superstructure
of alertness, of intellect, of tolerance of attitude, and of fair-mind-
edness of gudgment. Contact with a truly great teacher is an
overwhelmiag advantage in the mental growth of a student; but
even if this is lacking, the student’s ideal is still an appreciation
of learning for its own sake,

Do not mistake us by thinking that we discredit the value of
student activities in developing this attitude. But we do say that
they are not the legitimate way of accomplishing the aim of edu-
cation; and they become a real danger when they prevent the
student from pursuing the normal method of training which has
been deemed best by the most careful and most experienced edu-
cators of our time. Every day, however, (we judge by our own
college) activities demand more and more of the student’s time.
She cannot hope to do her best work in the classroom and at the
same time take an active part in the opposite side of campus life.
A choice must be made; and the loss is great, whatever the de-
cision may be.

A readjustment should take place. The curriculum should be
given the place of prime importance; and, next in importance,
student activities should be encouraged. But they should not be
allowed to over-shadow or in any way to impede scholastic work,

THE

AGONISTI

Meeting of Pi
Alpha Phi

Pi Alpha Phi held its second formal
meeting and debate Thursday night,
November 6, The debate was on one
of the subjects suggested by Agnes
Scott for the Intercollegiate Debate
to be held with Randolph Macon and
Sophie Newcomb in the spring. The
subject was: Resolved: That a Par-
liamentary system would be a more
effective system of government than
the presidential system. The affirma-
tive was upheld by Isabel Ferguson
and Mary Davis, the negative by
Pocahontas Wight and Helen Lewis.
The decision was two to one in favor
of the affirmative. The debate was
unusually good and the subject is both
interesting and debatable. The next
debate will be held on November 20,
and the subject will be the other sub-
ject Agnes Scott suggested for an
Intercollegiate subject: Resolved: That
Japanese emigrants be admitted on
the same basis as European nations.

Randolph Macon and Sophie New-
comb will present two subjects each
and from these six the subject for the
Intercollegiate Debate will be select-
ed. This is to be selected by the
twenty-second of November and the
debates in Pi Alpha Phi will be on
different phases of this question.

A GLIMPSE IN THE PAST
Taken from the Silhouette for 1916

hough long hair has practically
disappeared from our campus and
though the styles have changed since
1916, you can still find the same prob-
lems the same things to joke about
and the same spirit on the Agnes
Scott campus in 1924, Though two
generations of students have passed
through Agnes Scott and have gone
on to join the ranks “of those who
have gone on before” the Agnes Scott
student of 1924 take a look back at
little things that have come from
“The Last Agony” in the Silhouette
for 1916 and you will find interesting
things revealed there,

PREPAREDNESS

As a paper of good repute, we wish
first and always to stand for that
which is right, and now we have come

which is the student’s first interest and which, no matter who
denies it, will bring more true happiness and more real strength
to the college graduate than participation in any student move-
ment, however worthy it may be.

Student activities, then, in our opinion, have their place in the
college; but their position is of secondary importance, insomuch
as they aid the natural development of the student they are justi-
fied; but, as soon as they hinder in any way the student’s conform-
ing to the normal method of educational training they cease to be
justified. In this latter case they become a positive evil and should
be discouraged by the college authorities whose wider experience
and more mature judgment put them in a position to understand
the attendant danger in the student’s voluntary rejection of the
best which the college has to offer—vVol. IX, No. 4, Agonistic.

Mercer

For the first time in the history
of the radio that a university has used
its own set, Mercer will open its
course of study to the world. Begin-
ning Tuesday night, November 11,
WMAZ, the Mercer station, will offer
a series of four college courses in
addition to a number of special musi-
cal programs by the various campus
organizations. Courses in literature,
history, journalism, and religious edu-
cation will be offered at first. As
the classes grow, the number of sub-
jects will be increased, Mercer author-
ities say, and college credit may be
given when the experiment has been
found successful.

Georgia Tech

First steps toward establishing a
“Dad’s Day” at Tech were taken by
the Student Council of that institution
at a meeting last Tuesday, The plan
is to have the fathers of all the stu-
dents at Tech come to Atlanta some
time in the spring to the week-end
baseball games on Friday and Satur-
day. The object of the plan is to
bring the fathers in closer touch with
the college.

After extensive investigation, Dean
Everett W. Lord, of the Boston Uni-
versity College of Business Adminis-
tration, disclosed a few days ago the
result of his extensive analysis of
earning capacity of men with yaried
degrees of learning. Dean Lord main-
tains that a high school diploma
brings its owner $33,000 more income
eventually than a grade certificate,
while a college education is worth
$72,000 to the graduate. The figures
also showed that a college trained
man earns $105,000 more in an aver-

age lifetime than the man who quits
school at fourteen.

Some interesting facts concerning
the popularity of certain subjects have
been obtained by the Registrar at
Washington and Lee University, The
ten most popular subjects at that in-
stitution have been tabulated in the
following order: 1, English; 2, Hy-
giene; 3, History; 4, Mathematics; 5,
Politics; 6, Economics; 7, French; 8,
Spanish; 9, Business Administration;
10, Geology.

to a place where we, as free American
people, must stand upon our own feet
and show our righteous indignation!
We have heard of preparedness in
every form; we hear it in the fire
alarm bell which clangs forth in the
mystic hours; we write it upon quires
of “test” paper; we smell it on the
electric toaster; are we, then a people
who believe and practice that motto
of Preparedness, to allow such out-
rageous oversight remain unseen as
that which is under our very eyes?
Can we, will we tolerate such care-
lessness as we have evinced on the
part of our noble army of laundry
women? Why should we have such a
number of pins placed in our skirts,
our waists, our very middy blouses?

Only this morning a very sad ex-
ample of this barbarous practice of
“pin pulling” was seen traversing the
campus walks at the hour of 7:27.
Alas, are we come to such a state
that our very sisters must go break-
fastless, our very roommates must fall
victims to this dreadful outrage? Ag
a student body, is it necessary that
we attain that “lean and hungry
look of a Cassius,” because of this un-
preparedness? Let us be prepared!
Down with the pins—we prepare no
plaits!

have to go to Chemistry I get through
classes at 10:30!! Isn’t that fine? I’m
not sure I’ll know how to act though,
as I haven’t been to town in three
~weeks—and that’s a long time for any
Agnes Scott girl to stay away from
Atlanta.

I was so excited yesterday, Giddy,
that I didn’t know what to do—you
know the seniors were invested and
one freshman came up to me and
asked me what they were infested
with, Everybody’s mothers and fathers
and brothers and sisters were up here
and I wished I’d been a senior so my
mother would have been here too. The
sophomores were all dressed in white
and looked lots prettier than the sen-
jors did—but they looked so dignified.
Each one of them went up to Miss
Hopkins and she put on their caps.
Then they all walked dignifiedly off
the stage, ’cept Ruth Johnston, ‘and
when she got up she grabbed her hat
and just flew off. You should have
seen Mr. Stukes and Miss McKinney!
I thought they were going to fall off
their chairs they were so tickled.

ff wish I was a senior so I could
do like they did—and do you know
there are only fourteen seniors with
long hair?

Giddy, did mother show you my
report? I hope you didn’t notice the
very last of it—that about Latin
Prose. Miss Stansfield said if I tried
harder I could pass it next semester

And now I can go in

Dr. McCain made known the wish
of the board of trustees to co-operate
in having a clean campus, and he
urged that each student do her part.

It does seem to be a little thing to
put paper and trash in the trash cans,
Tt really is a very little trouble for
each one of us, and it makes a great
deal of difference in the appearance
of the campus, the happiness of the
college community, and the opinions

I was over in Rebekah tonight and
I saw a girl that looked like she had
all her hair cut off and when I got
closer it was Catherine Mitchell. She
said though that she was afraid she
was going to get bald headed and Miss
Davis had said that bald headed wom-
en couldn’t succeed well in business—
so she had put some olive oil on to
keep her hair in. Genie Perkins and
Cephise Cartwright were doing it too
and they looked almost like tea-hound
boys with their hair slicked down so
tight.

Oh Giddy! I was almost about to
forget to tell you about “Sat.” You
know they named him that because
he came and sat outside the door on
Saturday morning. Toodles bought

Everybody’s going to be so sorry
though, because he’s so cute and pret-

he is, did 1? Well, he’s a white little
yellow-eyed (and they wash them out
with borax water) furry Eskimo

and kiss him all the time.

and I'll bet I have to stop—I will—
it’s Miss Miller and she’s going to get
after us for hanging stockings in the

AGONISTI

One of the most interesting fields
of the Y. W. C. A. is that which leads
us to contact with other branches of
the national organization. We often
have the opportunity of meeting “Y”
secretaries, and, at times, students of
other colleges, but they are all in-
terested in the same things in which
we are interested.

In meeting students and discussing
student plans and ideals, we are prone
to forget that there are girls just
our ages, with the same interests, as
girls, but with entirely different oc-
cupational interests; so the Y. W. is
trying to bring the students in contact
with these girls. The student indus-
trial commission is medium through
which this is accomplished. This is a
commission made up »f industrial
girls from candy factories, overall
factories and other industrial estab-
lishments; and students.

This summer there was an Indus-
trial Conference at Junaluska and a
number of colleges were asked to
send representatives. Agnes Scott
was represented; and the conference
proved to be both delightful and in-
spirational. It is hoped that we may
put some of the ideas gained from
the conference into our own Industrial
meetings,

The first meeting of the year was
held Tuesday, Nov. 4, in the Cabinet
room. We had a social meeting for
the purpose of getting acquainted.
We had only three industrial girls this
time, Misses Thornton and Griffin and
Mrs. Jernigan. Mrs. Gereke, our new
“Y” secretary, came with them. They
had an opportunity to meet a num-
ber of the students, however, for sey-
eral of them dropped in during the
course of the evening. We hope dur-
ing the year to have many student
visitors at our meetings for only a
few may serve on the commission and
the only way the others can know the
girls is by visiting.

We hope all our meetings can be
as delightful as this one. Speaking
from the student point of view, it was

Agnes Scott is delighted that Mrs.

unusually fortunate in obtaining lec-
turers of note but she is extremely
fortunate in having Dr. Thwing as
a visitor and lecturer on the campus.

Dr. Thwing Lectures To Student

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1924

Body November 11

Theme of Lecture,
“Be Thinkers’’

Agnes Scott was delighted to have
the privilege of hearing Dr. Thwing,
president of the United Chapters of
Phi Beta Kappa, lecture during the
chapel hour, Tuesday, November 11.

Most of us felt rather awed at meet-
ing a man who has obtained so many
degrees, held so many responsible
positions, and written so many well
known books as has Dr. Thwing; but

} we soon found him to be very human,
with a charming personality and a
sympathetic understanding. He
talked to us in a beautifully simple
way, advising us ina rather fatherly
manner. We forgot the greatness of
is versatile mind and the wonder of
his many accomplishments in our
keen interest in what he was saying.

In his opening words, Dr. Thwing
¢alled to mind the significance of the
date, November 11, and stressed the
importance of the gift of life. The
main theme of his lecture was ex-

} pressed in his fervent plea, “Girls, be
} thinkers.” He emphasized the fact
1 that the chief purpose of our being
here at college is to learn to think,
for only with this ability can we get

1 the most out of life, and nowhere will

1 we be as likely to acquire this power
as at college. Then Dr. Thwing dis-
eussed truth as the fundamental basis
of our knowledge, and urged that we
‘try to think on those things that are
true. He stressed the importance of

idealism and of “putting first things
x second things second, and ter-

Candler Prominent
Member of Board
of Trustees

‘Only Member of Original Board
Now Serving.

Mr. Charles Miirphey Candler is an-
other one of the very interesting mem-
1 bers of our board of trustees. Al-
though the student body does not
know as much of him personally as it
does of Mr. Orr, Mr. Candler is offi-
‘Cially recognized as one of the leading
citizens of our country. “Who’s Who”
4 tells quite a lot about him. Besides
‘being a lawyer, he is also Chairman
‘of the Railroad Commission of Geor-
i gia. He received an A. B. degree
from the University of Georgia in
41877, and was elected a member of
Phi Beta Kappa. In 1880 he was ad-
mitted to the Georgia bar. After
} serving as a member of the Georgia
] House of Representatives four terms,
he resigned in 1909. He also served
Jin the state Senate from 1904 until
1906, and was appointed a member
] of the Railroad Committee of Georgia
Jin April, 1909, for an unexpired term
of two years. He was re-elected four
i terms successively, 1911-17; 1917-23,
4as chairman of the board. He has
il also been a member of the law firm
of C. M. and Scott Candler since
1923.
] My. Candler is a Democrat, a Pres-
4 byterian, and a Mason. Like Dr. Orr,
he serves another college besides Ag-
nes Scott, as a member of its board
‘lof trustees, for he serves the Uni-
ij versity of Georgia in that capacity.
\) He is President of the University of
i) Georgia Alumni Association.

Mr. Candler was on the original
board that was appointed when Ag-
4 nes Scott was founded, and bears the
4 distinction of being the only member

who has served continuously on the
board during the thirty-five years of
its existence. During the earlier pe-
riod of the institution he was very
intimately connected with the college,
ery unselfishly giving it much of his
ijtime. He had a great deal of the
correspondence about the admission
|] of students, and he collected the fees

Entertainments For Dr.
and Mrs. Thwing

Agnes Scott, Emory and Phi
Beta Kappa Honor Them.

Agnes Scott has nevér had guests
more welcome than Dr. and Mrs.
Thwing, who were at the college No-
vember 10-12. We know that Dr.
Thwing is president of the United
Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa and have
been given a list of all the degrees,
books, lectures, and presidencies to
his credit, but since his visit we al-
most forget all these things in the
personality and charm of the man
himself. We are very glad Mrs.
Thwing could be with us, too.

They arrived in Atlanta Monday
morning, November 10, and were met
at the train by Dr. McCain, Miss
Hearon and Mr. Stukes. They were
brought out to the college and lunch-
eon was served to them in Rebekah
Scott dining hall. After reading a list
of his honors we were just a little bit
in awe of Dr, Thwing but he set us
all at ease and won the hearts of
Agnes Scott girls by his cheery re-
sponse to our “How Do You Do!” The
guests, after lunch, were invited to
faculty coffee in the faculty parlor,
after which Dr, Thwing spoke to the
faculty in Propylean Hall. Dr. Mec-
Cain made a very happy introduction
and the faculty were very greatly in-
terested in his talk.

Later in the afternoon Dr. McCain
invited him and his wife along with
Mr. Stukes and Miss Hopkins for a
motor trip to Stone Mountain. Our
visitors were amazed at the grandeur
and comprehensiveness \ pf the work,
Dr. Thwing spoke of Lee” as having
been a great and influential college
president. That evening at 6:30 they
were entertained at dinner in the
Alumnae House by the faculty mem-
bers of Phi Beta Kappa. Dr. Mc-
Cain and Miss Hopkins were also in-
vited.

The next morning Dr, Thwing was

Dr. I..L. Peters
Addresses the
Student Body

Well Known Professor Speaks
On Choice of a Vocation.

The Y. W. C. A. through its Social
Service Committee, brought a very in-
teresting speaker to the college on
Monday evening in the person of
Mrs. Iva Lowther Peters, Ph. D., pro-
fessor of Economics and Vocational
Guidance at Goucher College.

Dr. Peters came to Atlanta this
week to attend the meeting of the

Southern Women’s Educational Al-
liance. Goucher College has granted
her a half year’s leave of absence, for
the purpose of making a special
study of the vocations to which wom-
en are best adapted. Her work in
this line has caused her to be recog-
nized as one of the leading authori-
ties in the South on this subject. It
is for this reason that the Y. W. C.
A. was especially anxious that she
come to Agnes Scott.

Every girl in college, whether or
not she is a Senior is deeply inter-
ested in the question, “What vocation
shall I choose? What will be my work
in the world?” It was just such
questions that Dr. Peters endeavored
to answer. Her charming speech
made a splendid impression, and her
advice was invaluable to every girl.

Besides bringing Dr. Peters here
to address the student body, the Social
Service Committee hopes to arrange
a conference during the week, when
any girls who desire to do so, may
meet her personally, and talk over
their problems with her.

Major General O’Rien
Addresses Students
In Chapel

Spiritual Significance of
Armistice Day Emphasized.

Agnes Scott must have been “born”
under a lucky star, because if it had
not been as well favored it could not
have had the two excellent speakers
that were here on Armistic Day and
the day after. Just as we were be-
ginning to feel “let-down” after Dr.
Thwing left us, we were pleasantly
surprised to have General O’Rien
speak to us in chapel on Wednesday
morning.

General O’Rien emphasized the su-
periority of the spiritual things over
the materialistic. He gave definite
instances ‘that illustrated this asser-
tion. Once, fifteen men were needed
on the front to “go over the top”
at some crucial moment. His leu-
tenant had orders to select these
men, When they had been
chosen General O’Rien asked the
Heutenant how he knew these were
the men suited to this task that re-
quired great daring and courage. The
lieutenant replied that these men had
shown before that they had the spir-
itual background that fitted them for
any feat. General O’Rien added
that not only in war, but in every
department of life a spiritual char-
acter could be relied upon.

The general did not speak with
much reference to himself, but we
were able to conclude a great deal
about him. He had a charming per-
sonality, and with his dignity and
calmness attracted and held his audi-
ence in perfect attention. The little
sparks of humor that flew out unob-
trusively added to the interest of his
speech, and did not mar the serious-
ness of the thonght he was leaving
us.

Agnes Scott Alumnae
Clubs Being
Organized

Miss McKinney Goes to
Richmond and Charlotte.

Wednesday night Miss McKinney
left for Charlotte, North Carolina, and
Richmond, Virginia, where she will
aid the Alumnae in starting Agnes
Scott Clubs. The idea for the club
and the request for Miss McKinney
came from the Alumnae themselves
who wish to be closer together and
more in sympathy with the needs and
program of their alma mater. Agnes
Scott needs their help as never be-
fore in her extensive program, and
Miss McKinney was delighted to go
and help. She will begin the organi-
zation and tell the members of the
plans and needs of the college. She
hopes to arouse more interest by
greater knowledge of existing condi-
tions.

In Charlotte, there are now twenty-
five and possibly thirty old Agnes
Scotters who will form the club.
Some are graduates of thirty years
ago, a fact which proves how enduring
is the love for A. S. C. Miss MeKin-
ney will visit Mrs. Reynolds Cuthbert-
son, nee Julia Hagood, a classmate of
Miss Bland.

Among the fourteen girls in Rich-
mond there are many celebrities and
many known by the present genera-
tion: Dr, India Hunt, who will be
with the Mayo Brothers; Kate Rich-
ardson (Mrs. John J. Wicker), a fa-
mous debater with Newcomb; Hattie
Blackford (Mrs. Williams), who
graduated in 1903, and Nannie Camp-
bell, of the Class of ’23. Josephine
Logan, Beth McClure and Margaret
McDowel are at the Assembly’s Train-
ing School in Richmond.

All of us wish good luck and a bril-
liant career to these clubs.

And we hope that many other
Alumnae clubs in other cities will be
formed in the future.

Student Government Conference

No. 9

Meets At Vassar

Mecer Glee Club
Entertains College

Presents One of the Best Musical
Programs Here in Years.

Philosophers teach us that our ex-
pectations always exceed the realiza-
tion. Any broad statement like this
is likely to find exceptions. A ster-
ling illustration of such an exception
was presented to us Saturday evening.
We expected great things of the Mer-
cer Glee Club, and we were not dis-
appointed.

From the time the first note of the
band was sounded in front of Main,
we knew that we should not be dis-
appointed. Girls who thought they
would spend the evening studying,
heard the music, shut their books,
hunted up the admission price, and
journeyed over to the Chapel prepared
for an evening of exceptional enter-
tainment. To be brief and explicit,
they got it.

Part one represented a reception of

the Senior Class. Noble Arnold,
“Sunshine” McCoy, “Parson” Chand-
ler, and “Randolph” Hurst, who

furnished entertainment for the gath-
ering, proved very effective black
face artists, and were repeatedly en-
cored. Mac Davis, who sang, “In the
Garden of Tomorrow,” won great ap-
provyal, it even being conceded that he
did as well as the performers who
sang the same number last week in
“The String ‘Em Girl.” The other
selections were also very well re-
ceived.

Part two was somewhat more seri-
ous in tone, Tom Wells, who has a
sweet tenor voice, responded to an en-
thusiastic encore with “Macheta,’”
Ralph “Scotty” Tabor, who won ap-
proval by his masterly piano accom-
paniments during part one, proved
even more popular as a soloist in the
second part. The quartet was excel-
lent and graciously responded to en-
cores, “Mercer’s Ten Kings of
Rhythm,” although not as numerous

(Continued on Page 3, Column 3)

Freshman Class
Elect Officers

Anderson,

Sydnor, McKinnon

Elected.

Friday, November 7, the members
of the Freshman Class elected officers
to steer them safely through the
dangers of the first year of college
life, to keep them off the shoals of
discouragement and away from the
snares of unscrupulous sophomores.

Jack Anderson, the noble general
who led us so successfully through
the first defense against the sopho-
more onslaught, who worked valiant-
ly for the victory of the pitched bat-
tle on the fatal night of October 4,
and manfully cheered the failing spir-
its of her followers when defeat
stared them in the face, was selected
unanimously to continue as major
general of this very promising band
of 150. In fact, no other nomina-
tions for president were made.

Louise Sydnor, affectionately known
as “Chugga,” another veteran of
Stunt Night as the A, S, C. Freshman
who journeyed to Mars, was chosen
vice-president. Gwendolyn McKinnon
was elected secretary and treasurer.
Sarah Glenn will represent the Fresh-
men in Lower House.

In the field of athletics, Eliza
Rainey was elected hockey manager,
Jo Walker captain of the hockey
team, and Gwendolyn McKinnon ten-
nis manager. Under their able lead-
ership the Freshmen are developing
finely and are going to put up a good
fight for the pennant.

With such a splendid corps of lead-
ers, the Freshmen feel confident of a
very successful year and expect to
reach port at the end of the term
with all flags flying.

Mary Anne and _ Helena
Represent Agnes Scott

These two, our Student Government
president and a representative elected
for the conference by the student
body at large, have left us for a week
to represent Agnes Scott at this
great gathering of importance to the
spirit of growth in student govern-
ment.

Vassar is the scene of the confer-
ence this year and is seeing great
times with outstanding girls from all
the prominent colleges of the North
and East and a few from the South.
The conference began Thursday, No-
vember 18, and closed Saturday night.
The main purpose of the conference
is the promotion of the highest ideals
of student government and the spread
of new and useful methods and ideas
in that field.

For weeks ahead suggestions are
gathered from the colleges to be rep-
resented and prepared for discussion
groups, or for lectures by prominent
speakers, and when the delegates ac-
tually gather, the field is cleared for
real work.

Some of the principal problems deal,
of course, with the honor system and
its fundamental workings, resting as
it does, upon the individual and the
morale of individuals collectively. The
honor of the class in all its scholas-
tic work, the position of the instruc-
tor, the honor of the individual, on
the campus and off of it, together
with the jurisdiction of student gov-
ernment in these affairs—all are vital.
For upon one’s understanding of them

Di. Thwing Lectures
To Classical
Club

“Value of the Classics”
Emphasized.

What you are thunders so loud
above your head, I think not of what
you have done, might truly be said
of Dr. Charles Franklin Thwing. Be-
fore he came to Agnes Scott we were
prone to stand in awe of him, to think
of him as a being separated from
mere mortals, as one mighty in
thought and deed, but after his visit
we forgot that he was _ president
emeritus of Western Reserve Univer-
sity, president of the United Chapters
of Phi Beta Kappa, secretary of the
board of trustees of the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement of
Teaching. We came to think of him
rather as possessed of those intrinsic
qualities which go to make up per-
sonality—we forgot his long list of
accomplishments in coming to know
the man.

It was, then, with a great deal of
pleasure that the members of the
Classical Club heard Dr. Thwing
speak on the “Value of the Classics”
at five o’clock on Tuesday afternoon
in the Propylean Hall. The Classical
Department can well appreciate the
emphasis which he laid upon the study
of the ancient languages. He spoke of
humanitas, the culture which might
be obtained in this manner, and what
is true culture but the knowledge of
the best that has been thought and
done in the world? And how can we
gain this knowledge better than
through the study of the classics?
Knowledge of the past will enable us
to interpret the present and to plan
for the future, and the study of the
ancient languages will teach us to
face problems and solve them. How
many problems come up in a single
line of Virgil’s “Aeneid,” of the “Pro-
tagoras” of Plato only the initiated
can know. The countless opportuni-
ties for choice teach one how to de-
cide which is the best course of ae-
tion. Thus one may be empowered
to meet issues squarely and to deter-

Tt has been said that a chain is no stronger than its weakest
link: translating this to a college, a college is no stronger than its
weakest group. In the majority of colleges this weak link comes
in the Day Student Group. We are proud to say that here Agnes
Scott has a strong link.

It is so easy for a “Day Student” to forget that she is a part
of the student body. Her interests are often in town, in the
things she will do there as soon as she is free to leave classes.
She has often the feeling that she is the college’s ‘“step-child”
and that the college has so little interest in her that she ceases
to try to become a vital member of the college community.

It is recognized that this is often the relation of the Day Stu-
dent and the college. Agnes Scott, however, is proud of the
interest and attitude of her Day Students. There are an unusually
large number of Day Students this year both from Atlanta and
Decatur, but we have “quality as well as quantity”. The Day
Students are one of the most interested, most active groups on
the campus.

There are “Day Student” members in the debating club, in the
dramatic and literary clubs. There are “Day Students” on every
athletic team. In fact the Day Students play a vital part at
Agnes Scott.

Three years ago the “Day Students” began their campaign for
a Day Student Cottage on the campus. The trustees agreed to
help them build the cottage if they would first raise three thous-
and dollars themselves. Though this seemed a rather large task
for college girls to undertake, the Day Students realizing their
need for a cottage and the pleasure and profit future Day Students
would derive from it, began a campaign. It was presented to the
student body and bricks for the cottage were sold. Then, they
collected old magazines and newspapers from the dormitories, they
held rummage sales, until this fall they had succeeded in raising
fifteen hundred dollars for their cottage.

They are now having a campaign to raise the other fifteen
hundred so that their cottage may be begun. The campaign began
with the musical comedy presented by them on November the
eighth. This was written by one of the Day Students and pre-
sented by them. At the same time they began a campaign to
sell bricks. Their slogan has become, “Be a brick and buy a
brick.” The bricks are being sold for ten cents and the whole
college community is asked to buy a brick and thereby help them
to build a cottage on the campus which will not only be a great
joy to them but will be one of the new attractions on the campus.

Though we dislike the word “proud”, Agnes Scott feels jus-
tified in saying that she is proud of the Day Students she has.
She is glad that they are not ‘‘step-children” of their Alma Mater
as in so many colleges. Agnes Scott is proud of her “Day Stu-
dent” alumnae, and she is proud of those who are here now. The
whole college community wishes them success in their campaign
and we hope the “Day Student Cottage” will soon be one of the
buildings on our campus.

AGONISTI

BLACKFRIARS TO PRESENT ITS
SECOND GROUP OF PLAYS
DURING THANKSGIVING
WEEK
“Neighbors,” “The Romancers,” “Joint
Owners in Spain,” Chosen.

Thanksgiving Day is an unusually
blissful time for many reasons; first
of all, perhaps, because it is a holiday;
then because it means a turkey din-
ner with cranberry sauce and Agnes
Seott Special, and a dance in the
gym, and a chance to exhibit that new
green evening dress, and—I might
enumerate for the rest of the col-
umn. But not least among our rea-
sons for anticipating Thanksgiving
time with pleasure is the fact that on
the Saturday after Thanksgiving, No-
vember 29th, this year, Blackfriars al-
ways presents its second program for
the session, a group of three one-
act plays.

The plays selected for this group
are unusually attractive, and present
a wide variety of subjects, ranging
from the depths of every-day reality
to the sparkling heights of romance.
They are as follows: “Neighbors,”
“The Romancers,” and “Joint Own-
ers in Spain.”

“Neighbors” is the story of a vil-
lage spinster who is suddenly in-
formed that it is her duty to provide
a home for a young boy, an orphan
relative of hers. Naturally, the spin-
ster is greatly “flustrated” and knows
not what step to take first, until her
kind “neighbors” arrive on the scene,
to help prepare for the boy’s advent.
Then comes a twist in the plot—a sur-
prising and sentimental ending, quite
unexpected. You will like it.

“The Romancers” tells the fascinat-
ing tale of two fathers, living side
by side, who wished to join their es-
tates by the marriage of their chil-
dren, Sylvette, the girl, and Perci-
net, the boy. To promote their desire,
the fathers decide to pretend opposi-
tion to the love of their children. The
plan works well; Percinet and Sylvette
fall in love. Thinking their parents
object to their union, the two young
things devise a plan to overcome this
obstacle—quite an original and thrill-
ing plan it is, too. Perhaps you
would like to try it yourself. The
climax of this drama, by the way,
is all a romantic heart could desire.

“Joint Owners in Spain” presents
the case of two old women quite ludi-
crous, and yet a little pathetic, who
are inmates of the “Old Ladies’
Home.” Since everybody else has
found it impossible to room with
either of these two, the matron, as a
last desperate chance, tries placing
them together, though they are quite
different types. Their reaction and
its consequences are worked out in
the play in a quite delightful and
amusing manner. The casts are:

MR. SHANKS CHOSEN AS TWEN-
TY-FOURTH MEMBER OF
BOARD OF TRUSTEES

The members of Agnes Scott's
board of trustees now number twen-
ty-four as the man who completed the
two dozen became a member on the
14th of October. He is Mr. Philip
T. Shanks, who lives in Selma, Ala-
bama. His business is that of manu-
facturing, but he is connected with
several other financial enterprises.

Sometime ago, the Alabama synod
requested Agnes Scott to place four
of its members on the board of trus-
tees; and after this was agreed to
the synod made Agnes Scott their of-
ficial college. Reverend D. H. Ogden,
of Mobile, Ala.; Reverend W. R.
Dobyns, of Birmingham, Ala., and
Mr. W. A. Belingrath of Montgo-
mery, Ala., were the first three mem-
bers to be chosen. At the meeting

DR. LACY SPEAKS ON THE IM-
PORTANCE OF CHURCH
AFFILIATIONS

The Agnes Scott girls who have
not affiliated with any church since
their arrival in Decatur were prompt-
ed with the desire to place their
membership in some one of the
churches of Atlanta and Decatur by
the impressive talk which Dr. Lacy,
pastor of the Central Presbyterian
Church, of Atlanta, gave Thursday
morning in chapel. Dr. Lacy defined
most effectively the value of affilia-
tion with some church, and the mean-
ing to the individual and to the
church,

If one has no definite church to
attend and one to which they feel there
is a tie binding them, there is a na-
tural tendency to wander from one
church to another, and see what each
presnts; this more or less develops
the natural bent to criticise the mov-
ing order of the various churches,
and to contrast the pastors, choirs
and different departments. One is
also likely to lose contact with the
current of the church denominations
and lose interest in the activities. If,
however, she enters whole-heartedly
into the church, she will go home
closer to her home church and varry
on continuous activity instead of that
which has been broken by a nine
months lapse. “

The interest manifested on the
part of the young people in the
church means a great deal to the old
people, They see younger hands come
in to take up the work they have
been doing for so many years, and
feel that now they can leave this
work in the competent hands of the
younger generation.

The church affiliation of the
Agnes Seott girls means much also
to the young people already in that
church, These girls come into the
churches and take in part the vacant
places left by the boys and girls who
have gone away from that church to
college. It also is a means of keep-
ing the minister young and alive, of
making him take more interest in
his work, and of making him feel
that he has a part in ministering to
the needs and to the life of the Agnes
Scott girls.

In short by forming some ties with
the churches of Atlanta or Decatur
the college girls find an excellent
church home and many valuable
friends, and go back home better fit-
ted to carry on the work there.

mencement last year, Mr. Shanks
was nominated as the fourth, and
his nomination was ratified this Oc-
tober,

Mr. Shanks is an elder of the
First Presbyterian church in Selma,
and one of the most prominent
Presbyterian laymen in the state. He
is one of the well recognized speak-
ers on Christian subjects in the South,
and it is in this capacity that he first
became acquainted with Agnes Scott,
for he was the guest of Dr, Gaines
when he spoke in Atlanta. He liked
Agnes Scott and Agnes Scott liked
him. It is generally considered that
the choice of Mr. Shanks as a member
of the board of trustees is a very
happy one.

The jokes in the funny papers
would be the only things Adam would
recognize if he even now were to come
back to earth.

GIDDIE GOSsilP

Thursday night.

What do you think, Giddy? I've
got a date just day after tomorrow!
Ym so excited I can hardly exist.
You know I told you I was pretty
sure I’d have one some day—and sure
enough, I have. I won’t tell you his
name, because I’m not real sure of it
myself, yet. You see, he’s one of the
boys I met at that Methodist party
that night, and I’ve kinda got his
name mixed up—I met so many, But
anyway, he’s coming and I can hardly
wait. If it wasn’t for the hockey
game tomorrow I know I’d never be
able to live through four classes till
Saturday.

Giddy, I was so embarrassed in His-
tory I this morning I nearly went
through the floor. I thought I knew
my lesson but the very first thing
the teacher did was to say: “Now,
Miss Aggie (she’s gotten to where she
alls me by my first name), can you
describe the physical system of
Charlemagne for us?” And I didn’t
know it. Giddy, it was a-wful. And
right after that she said, “Well, Miss
Hooston, will you describe the foodal
system for us”—and I knew that
one so good. If she’d only asked me
that.

I told you about Mr. Holt giving us
‘a cut, didn’t I? Well, they’ve been
getting so many in the English de-
partment that it (I mean giving cuts)
spread to the History One and now
—so Courtenay Wilkinson told me—
they’re afraid there’s going to be an
epidemic of them on the campus. An
“epidemic” sounds serious, doesn’t it,
but I for one wish they would have
one.

The funniest thing happened this
week that you’ve ever heard of. I
happened to hear some Sophomores
talking about it beforehand so I knew
what it meant.

Somebody told Edna Ackerman that
she was looking kinda pale and
peeked and looked mighty like she
had the C. S. She didn’t want to ap-
pear ignorant and not know what it

and paid the bills. When janitors
were away, he sometimes even made
fires and worked wherever he was
greatly needed.

In 1882 he married a daughter of
Colonel Scott, and has always lived
across the street from the campus.
Therefore he has had the opportunity,
more than any of the other members
of the board, of seeing the college and
watching its progress.

He has served on some of the most
important committees of the board.
Besides being a member of the Com-
mittee on Nominating Trustees, he is
now also Chairman of the Executive
Committee, and chairman of the very
active and important Committee on
Buildings and Grounds. He had much
to do with the supervising the build-
ing of Inman Hall, the Library, and
Science Hall. On the first endowment
campaign in 1909, he acted as treas-
urer. He has two daughters who are
Agnes Scott Alumnae.

Mr. Candler is the son of Mr. Mil-
ton A. Candler, who was a member
of Congress and was famous in the
ehurch and state. His father was also
a member of our board of trustees as
long as he lived. ~

While a member of the Georgia
House of Representatives, he was one
of the leaders who put the prohibition

was, so she went down to ask Dr.
Sweet if she really did have it. Dr.
Sweet wasn’t there so Miss Daugh-
erty looked at her tongue and told her
yes she had a bad case of it—bumps
on her tongue and everything, but
she thought she’d soon get over it if
she were real careful. Then Edna
found out that C. S. meant Christmas
Spirit—I wonder how she felt.

They’ve got a new pet somewhere
on this campus but I don’t know
where they keep it. Guess what ’tis?
A guinea pig. That’s a funny thing
to have as a pet. I'd be scared it
would bristle out if I got very close
to it. I guess it’s pretty tame, tho’,
because they’ve been puncturing it—
you know, giving it a shot. Bee
Keith told me about it. She said she’d
been in the infirmary and Dr. Sweet
wouldn’t let her come out because she
was afraid she had diphtheria—so
they put some of the germs in the
guinea pig and told Bee that if the
little thing lived for three days she
could leave the infirmary—but if it
didn’t she’d have to stay down there.
Wouldn’t you hate to have to depend
on an untrustworthy guinea pig to
get out of such a place? But the
little pig is still living and Bee got
out today.

Guess what? Frances Tennent and
Mildred Jennings have gone into the
interior decorating business. They
haven’t as yet got a house to begin on
so they used Frances’ room. This aft-
ernoon they moved the furniture and
fixtures in every possible position.
They must have had a hard time,
either in getting anything to suit
themselves separately or together, be-
cause they spent the whole afternoon
at it. I’d hate to room underneath
her—she might get in a decorative
mood some night about 10:30 or 11:00
—you know she’s a senior!

The Y. W. has had the pleasure of
having Miss Grace Loucks from the
national board-—as its guest for a
number of days, from November 13th
to 17th.

Miss Loucks has taken as her espe-
cial interest the solving of the many
problems which face our campus and
our Y. W. C. A. Among these are
discussion groups, vocations and
creating personal contact between the
association and the individual. We
hope we will be able to solve many
questions which have perplexed us,
and carry out the suggestions and
ideas she has brought.

One thought which she has left
with us is the significance of the Y.
W. C. A. with especial emphasis on
young, Christian and association.
Miss Loucks talked at chapel Fri-
day morning; to the discussion group
leaders Friday afternoon; at chapel
Saturday and at Y. W. Sunday. We
feel that we have gained a great deal
from these talks and from contact
with Miss Loucks, and we hope she
will be able to visit us again soon.

Sunday, November 23rd, is the day
for our industrial program. We hope
to have one of the industrial girls
from the Student-Industrial Com-
mission to talk to us; and we hope
also to have some of the industrial
girls as visitors; so the students are
urged to come ani meet the girls
after the meeting so they will feel
at home and want to return often.

The relation of faculty and student
government, the problem of the fresh-
man, relations of the new and old stu-
dents, privileges of upper classmen
and a variety of other equally im-
portant subjects came before the con-
ference and were discussed and
adapted to the needs of widely differ-
ing colleges. The organization and
power of student government. differs
greatly in different colleges but by
ideas,
each organization profits and the spir-
it of student government grows; and

mine what method will bring about
the best solution of the question. As
life is full of problems which must
be worked out by each individual, a
study of the classics is decidedly ad-
vantageous,

The classics are also valuable in the
formation of a literary style. They
afford a background for rhetorical
expression that nothing else can give.
Gibbon, Newman, and Stevenson may
be cited as examples of authors whose
style has been enriched by associa-
tion with the classics. Translations,
both oral and written, are excellent
practice for moulding the expression
of the would-be author.

Since such a man as Dr. Thwing
puts his indelible stamp of approval
4apon the classics, we canno: be leit
in doubt as to their vabie. Latin
and Greek students may realize that
the many hours of struggle with

vidual.

We had neyer thought of accusing
Luey Winn of having burglaristic
tendencies, but judging by what she
herself said we are very much afraid
that some day she will develop into
an efficient second’ story man. To
quote her, “I had always wanted to
know how to jimmy a window but
had lived in ignorance until one day
in the theater across from the How-
ard they showed some pictures which
told very clearly how it was done.
I certainly was glad for I wanted to
know.” Lucey should not have to use
the steps now to reach any class on
the second or third floor.

If some of you have not had all
your leisure taken up with studying
but have deemed it a rather amusing
but hazardous experience to fall in
love, you are warned against such an
undignified course of action. The
day students have decided that it is
very improper so to fall, One Fri-
day at one thirty- a number of day
students who were amorously in-
clined, potentially at any rate, gather-
ed around the tennis court behind the
library to hear a debate on a subject
that has received some attention. The
exact title of this argumentative dis-
course was: “Resolved, That It Is
Proper for Juniors to Fall in Love.”
(We can’t help but wonder whether
Juniors are more susceptible than any
others, but that is beside the point.)
The affirmative was upheld by Isa-
pelle Clarke and Mary Knox, both of
whom offered powerful arguments for
their side; the negative had for its
supporters Elizabeth Chapman and
Rosalie Wiooten, who surpassed De-
mosthenes in their oratorical abilities.
The affirmative attempted to prove
thaat being in love was a practical
demonstration and living out of facts
learned at. Agnes Scott. (We would
like to know in what courses those
facts are contained.) Misses Chap-
man and Wooten proved—at least to
the satisfaction of the judges—that
being in love is detrimental to a
Junior from the view point of health,
education, individuality and propriety.
If you are a Junior and still insist on
being in this forbidden state, it might
be wisest for you either to drop back
to a Sophomore or skip a year, and
join the ranks of black gowned be-
ings, but best of all don’t tempt provi-
dence or the fates with having any
unnecessary heart beats. The judges
who rendered their honorable decision

It would seem, according to all ap-

portant sport on the campus; for in
the past, girls have signed up very
slowly, if at all. Most of these, more-
over, did not find time to play the
match off. At other colleges, tennis
is of equal, if not greater importance
than other games. It is unfortunate
that we should slight it so here. It
is encouraging, however, to see how
many girls have signed up this year.
Come on, girls, this is a better start
than we’ve had for the past two
years; let’s push it through,

Blackfriars Choose “The|Meeting of Student\Dr. Lilly Holds Week of Services
Conflict” For Intercollegiate

Con

Nine Colleges to Present
Plays at Northwestern
University

Blackfriars has definitely chosen
the play which it will present in the
inter-collegiate contest to be held at
Northwestern University the last of
this December. The play is “The Con-
flict” involving three characters, a
mother, her elder daughter, her!
younger daughter, and a twelve-year |
old son. Miss Gooch has selected)
three different casts, and is training
all of them continuously. At a stat-
ed time, each cast will present the!
play before competent judges, and the’
four girls interpreting the four va-
rious roles best will be chosen to con-
stitute our final dramatic team.

As this is to be Blackfriars’ first
performance “abroad,” and as the na-
tional intercollegiate theatrical con-
test represents the only intercolle-
giate competition, other than debat-
ing, in which our college participates,
Blackfriars is most anxious to make
a favorable appearance, and no ef-
forts will be spared in accomplishing
that end. The prize, too, is not neg-
ligible, being a loving cup and two
hundred and fifty dollars. Since our
dramatic society has excellent mate-
rial and direction, and the casts are
working tirelessly, we see no reason
why Blackfriars should not stand an
equal chance with the other eight col-
leges which are to participate in the
contest.

Hr t.. L. Peters
Addresses Students

“Vocational Guidance” Subject
of Her Lecture

A woman’s college is always proud
to have a woman speaker to address
its community, and, since Agnes Scott
is not out of the ordimary, she wel-
comed Dr. I. L. Peters, Ph.D., pro-
fessor of Economics and Vocational
Guidance at Goucher College. The
Social Service committee of the Y.
W. C. A. was fortunate in securing
Dr. Peters as a speaker, on Monday
afternoon, November 15.

Dr. Peters gave an interesting talk
on the development of vocational
guidance, a subject comparatively
new to most of us and this fact made
the lecture unusually valuable.

Especially gratifying was the state-
ment that at the last conference held
at Goucher of the Vocational Board,
Harvard College asked permission to
send a representative to sit in con-,
sultation. This instance is merely an
addition to the accepted truth that
there are as many women leaders of
new organizations, such as this, as
men. The vocational guidance is now
recognized as an important depart-
ment through which more fields of
new work for women are found than
there are applicants to fill them.

During the whole of her lecture,
Dr. Peters proved the necessity of a
college education for any branch of
work, making use, as an instance,
of a call during the great war for col-
lege graduates, or those who had had
college experience as the heads of
various “kitchens” in France.

Emphatically and convincingly did
Dr. Peters persuade us to consider the
importance of the vocational guidance.

Dr. Peters made such a favorable
impression that we were delighted to
know that she would be the guest of
Dr. Sweet the next week-end. From
November 22 to 24 Dr. Peters held
individual conferences with our girls,
especially with juniors and seniors,
in order to help as much as she could
in giving advice with regard to the
vocations that they are choosing.

Miss Wolford
Addresses Students

Many Positions Open To College
Trained Women

Miss Wolford, of the Georgia Col-
lege Students Placement Bureau,
which is situated in Atlanta, ad-
dressed the students Saturday morn-
ing in chapel. This agency was
founded in Atlanta last spring by
Mr. Wolford for the purpose of secur-
ing positions for college students who
do not wish to teach. It has always
been more difficult for girls to find
such positions in the past. Women
were generally faced with the alterna-
tives of marrying some mediocre man
or becoming dried up “old maids.”
Now, however, there are almost as
many openings for women as there
are for men, openings which allow
women to continue their development.
Employers prefer, for such positions,
college trained people, but did not
know how to secure them. The Bu-
reau purposes to bring together the
two.

There are several things which em-
ployers always like to know in ad-
vance about applicants. Their men-
tal ability, the marks they made while
in school, the way in which they dress,
their neatness and efficiency, their
character, poise, the impressions they
make on meeting people, are some of
these. This record is obtained by the
agency and sent to the prospective
employer, who lair interviews the
applicant. The applicants are always
interviewed first by someone at the
agency, and Miss Wolford states that
the impression they gain generally
agrees with that of the employer.
If there is some obstacle in the boy
or girl’s manner which prevents him
or her from securing a position, he
is helped to overcome it, very often
with the result that he later sue-
ceeds in the very place where he for-
merly failed.

Miss Wolford says that one of the
important things for applicants to do
is to decide as definitely as possible
just what kind of position they want.
This definiteness makes a better im-

Dr. Parker To Lecture
At Agnes Scott

Sociology Department Brings
Noted Speaker For the College

On Friday of this week Agnes Scott
is to have the pleasure of hearing
Dr. Valeria H. Parker, M.D., lecture
on “What the Policewoman Has Ac-
complished.”

Dr. Parker is in Atlanta this week
speaking before the Institute on So-
cia] Hygiene which is meeting at the
Central Congregational Church. The
meeting and work of the Institute is
sponsored by all the churches of At-
lanta through their committee of
church co-operation. She is an offi-
cial of the American Social Hygiene
Association, and is especially well
known for her splendid and progres-
sive work with delinquent girls and in
the juvenile courts of our country.
At present she is working with the
Department of Protective Measures
of the Association.

The Department of Sociology is
bringing Dr. Parker to the college,
with desire that the students may be
‘interested in these important mat-
ters. It is hoped that every girl in
the college will be able to hear her
lecture at 4:30, Friday afternoon. The
work which she has done and the top-
ic on which she speaks are of vital
interest, not only to students of so-
ciology, but also to every girl who
wants to be a good citizen.

Government
Conference At Vassar

Problem of Colle
Life Discussed

Mary Anne McKinney and Helena
Hermance returned November 19 from
the Student Government Conference
held during November 13-15 at Vas-
sar, and have brought back with them
enthusiastic reports of good times
and interesting discussions at the con-
ference. From the following account
of their trip, one can see that the time
was profitably spent in a stimulating
exchange of ideas.

Mary Anne and Helena left Atlanta
on Wednesday, November 12, and ar-
rived at Vassar on Thursday at 12
o’clock. After lunch they went to
Students’ Building where the confer-
ence was held. The first session
opened at 2 o’clock, Miss Eleanor
Dodge, president of Student Govern-
ment at Vassar, was in charge. Aft-
er a welcome was given the students
by President MacCracken, of Vassar,
President Ayelatte, of Swarthmore,
made an address on Student Govern-
ment and Education. He discussed
the educational value of Student Gov-
ernment to officers and to individual
members and the value of non-aca-
demic activities in general. He raised
the question as to whether it was bet-
ter to sacrifice academic honor for
non-academic activities, and the de-
cision made was that the value re-
ceived from participation in such an
organization as Student Government
justified the large amount of time
spent on it. A question was also
raised as to how individuals could be
made more interested in Student Gov-
ernment, for this was felt to be the
weakness of most colleges; that just
a few do all the work; but no definite
conclusion was formed the first aft-

ernoon and the conference closed at

4:30.
After dinner at six and chapel at
seven, the Vassar girls conducted their

| guests to Students’ Building to a play,

“Orio de Capo,” written by Edna St.
Bincent Millay, a graduate of Vas-
sar. After this play a reception was
given in the same building and the
visitors had the opportunity of meet-
ing President MacCracken, Dean
Thompson, of Vassar, who was orig-
inally an Atlantan, the Vassar fac-
ulty, and Vassar girls.

Calendar for December

Holidays Overshadow
All Events

Someone, gazing at the calendar for
next month, turned around with a sur-
prised expression, and said.

“Look how few things are sched-
uled for December!”

That statement may be true if one
looks merely at the scattered checks
on the scholastic calendar, but... .
December! What multitudes of indi-
vidual plans it holds!

The third through the ninth will
bring to Atlanta a meeting of the
Federal Council of Churches. This
meeting will assemble many of the
most prominent speakers of the Unit-
ed States. We are especially inter-
ested, for we hope to have quite a
few of these noted men to speak to
us at Chapel and Prayers during the
course of the week.

On the afternoon of the sixth, the
Smith Alumnae will give a party in
the gym to High School girls whom
they wish to interest in the college.

The evening of the sixth brings the
much looked-forward-to presentation
before the college of “The Conflict,”
the play selected by Blackfriars to
represent them at Evanston, Ill, in
the intercollegiate theatrical contest.
We can’t wait!

ge|Mr. J. T. Luptona

Member of Board
of Trustees

Has Served On Board
Since 1914

Mr. J. T. Lupton has been a trus-
tee of Agnes Scott since 1914, and is
fourth on the list of our trustees, ar-
ranged according to the length of time
of service. For many years, he has
been greatly interested in education,
and has been giving as much time and
thought to that as to his private busi-
ness affairs.

The way in which he became inter-
ested in Agnes Scott was through his
acquaintance with Dr. Gaines, for
whose ability and high ideals he had
the greatest admiration. A favorite
saying of Mr. Lupton’s is: “I like
to invest my money in personalities.”
He has employed thousands of people,
and has always been willing to back
a man of character and ability who
has no money, rather than a man of
means who is not so strong in per-
sonal qualities.

As a trustee of Agnes Scott, he
has not found it possible to attend
the meetings of the board with regu-
larity, but he has been excelled by no
one connected with the college in
promptness with giving advice and
help on difficult problems. His rule
is to answer Agnes Scott letters by
return mail. He was a very liberal
contributor to our college in the re-
cent campaign, and has largely con-
tributed the money for Lupton cot-
tage*on th: cath pus.

The following is an account of his
early life, and business success, giv-
en by his secretary:

He had a
remarkable mother, however, who,
with her untiring energy, industry,
and beautiful Christian character, was
an example and inspiration to her
children. Since she was left a widow
in a section of the tountry that had
just been laid waste by four years
of Civil War, her task of earning
a living for her family was not an
easy one.

Young Lupton early learned to
shoulder responsibility, helping his

Mathematics Club
Holds Meeting

Interesting Program Given By
Members

The Agnesis Mathematical Club
held its second meeting of the year
Tuesday night, November 18. The
club includes students who are study-
ing higher mathematics, Physics, and
Astronomy and is very helpful and
instructive along these lines.

At the opening of the meeting the
secretary read a letter of apprecia-
tion from Mr. Rankin for the beauti-
ful flowers the club sent at the death
of his father. Four very interesting
papers were read, “Laurus,” by
Elizabeth Woltz, and “Searpio,” by
Ruth Owen, the readers being two
former members of the club who kind-
ly consented to lend their help in
furthering the work of the organiza-
tion; “Philosophy and Mathematics,”
by Sara Fullbright, and “Greek In-
fluence on Mathematics,” by
Rose, both girls being present mem-
bers.

The next meeting will be some time
during the week before Christmas,
and will be a social, to which all mem-
bers are cordially urged to come.

Maria

Learned Bible Teacher Ad-
dresses Students of
Agnes Scott

The college has been more than for-
tunate in securing Dr. Clay Lilly, a
prominent Bible teacher of Winston-
Salem, N. C., as lecturer for this
week, Dr. Lilly is a man of unusual
understanding and is well qualified to
bring to the students and the faculty
messages concerning the Christian
life. These messages are delivered
twice a day, at the chapel period in
the morning and at prayers in the eve-
ning. Dr. Lilly speaks in a thor-
cughiy human way of problems which
the Christian must face and the ne-
cessity of meeting life squarely. “The
dear girls,” as he affectionately calls
them, and the faculty will profit
greatly if they attend his brief but
forceful addresses.

On Tuesday morning Dr. Lilly
spoke to the students of their respon-
sibilities as women of the present
day. There is no phase of life into
which the modern woman has not en-
tered. In the home, the school, the
church, society, civil life and commer-
cial life her influence is felt. Wo-
man must set high standards and
lofty ideals, for in her hands the fu-
ture is molded. But woman cannot
depend upon her own strength; her
life must be controlled by the Heay-
enly Father and her power must come
from Him who doeth all things well.

At the Tuesday night lecture Dr.
Lilly defined belief in Jesus Christ,
showing that it is not some meta-
physical or theological statement, but
a belief in the principles, the pro-

Agnes Scott
Represented At

Teachers Training
School

Mr. Stukes and Dr. Good Lecture
To Teachers

Agnes Scott is well represented at
the Standard Teachers Training
School in that Mr. Stukes and Dr.
Good hold important positions on its
faculty. This training school is con-

ducted each fall by Presbyterian
churches all over the South, and this
year the Atlanta school is held in
Central Presbyterian church (where
Agnes Scott girls love to go to hear
Dr. Lacey).

Mr, Stukes has a class in Adult
Psychology and has a large number of
“pupils” whom he is teaching to teach
the Bible lessons in a more interest-
ing and effective manner. Dr. Good
also has a large and earnest class
pressing on toward the diploma which
stands for so much in the training of
the modern Sabbath school teacher
or worker with young people.

Among others, Dr. Turnbull of the
Theological Seminary is a prominent
lecturer. His classes in Bible study
average an attendance of two hundred
at every meeting. He is conducting a
most interesting series of studies in
Genesis in his usual charming and
impressive manner. The enrollment
for the whole school is between five
and six hundred and the leaders are
indeed pleased at the gratifying in-
terest shown by the teachers of the
city. And not teachers alone are at-
tending, but many others, leaders in
every branch of endeavor. This is
Dr. Turnbull’s first visit to Atlanta
and he states that he is more than
pleased with his impression of a
great city.

Many of the finest speakers and
ablest leaders afforded by the church
are taking part in the program of the
school, and among those who are add-
ing to its power and success are’ Mr.

Much has been said since the World War of Student Friendship
and that in friendship lies the hope of the world. The Yale News
has done a wonderful thing in beginning an International Supple-
ment with articles on the life, customs, interests, and problems of
students in foreign countries. The Agonistic wishes Agnes Scott
to learn something of these students that she may feel herself one
of the great family of students of the world. For the remaining
issues for this year the Agonistic expects to give up a few inches
of its space each week to some of this International News.

The Agonistic feels that the ideal of this is expressed by Dr.
Hadley in his editorial, “The Broadening of University Ideals”,
which we take great pleasure in passing on to you.

THE BROADENING OF UNIVERSITY IDEALS.

By President Emeritus Arthur Twining Hadley, Yale University.

In the middle ages universities were international in their
character and influence. Their students came together from
many countries; their teachers were known and their degrees
recognized through the length and breadth of Europe. Many
’ historians believe that the thing which first gave the schools of
Bologne or Paris and the colleges of Oxford -the right to claim
the title of “University” was this international character; that a
university was distinguished from a college, not so much by
having courses of study which covered the whole field of learning
as by having a reputation which extended over the whole civilized
world.

This international side of university life, Which was so prom-
inent in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, became much less
so in the period that followed. Universities in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries became pretty thoroughly localized. They
were animated not so much by the desire to advance the higher
learning of Christendom as by the intent to train such ministers
and lawyers and physicians as each state required. And these
requirements were far more divergent in the seventeenth century
than they had been in the fourteenth. Separate churches had
grown up in different parts of Europe, each with a theology of
its own; separate nations had been organized or were in process
of organization, each with a bureaucracy of its own. ‘It,was in-
evitable that colleges organized to train men “for public service in
church or civil state’, as the words of our first Yale charter read,
should develop courses of study and methods of teaching which
were adapted to the needs of their own people and took relatively
little account of the outside world.

But in the last two hundred years the “learned world” has
gradually been getting back together again; and the universities
of different nations are far closer to one another at the beginning
of the twentieth century than they were in the middle of the
eighteenth. This has been partly due to improved methods of
transportation and-communication, which make it easier for mem-
bers of different nations to see and know each other; but still
more to the development of modern science—the scientific study
of history and politics, of physics and biology. For the student of
science is primarily concerned with discovering laws of nature
rather than meeting requirements of man; laws of nature which
are effective the whole world over, whether the constituted au-
thorities like them or not.

The result has been that in the purely intellectual side, the
universities of the world have been brought very much closer
together in recent years. The teachers in one university know
pretty well what is going on in their department in other uni-
versities all over the world. A discovery made in one country has
immediate effect in the thought and the teaching of half a dozen
others. But the purely intellectual side is not the whole of life,
nor does it represent the whole of university influence and char-
acter. To get the intellectual forces of the world together, and
to get its thought really internationalized, we need mutual under-
standing between the students of different parts of the world
as well as the teachers.

This is not the kind of thing which can be achieved in a day

NATIONAL LINES ON OUR MAPS

.By James Creese

Secretary American Scandinavian
Foundation.

There is a delusion that Europe lies
on the other side of the Atlantic, sep-
arated from us by five or ten days’
travel. But Europe has settled down
quietly in our midst, and Europe’s
boundary lines are being drawn on the
map of the United States.

In a.certain city of Illinois, a nar-
row river constitutes a national boun-
dary. It divides the city into two. peo-
ples, speaking different languages in
their homes, _supporting churches,
newspapers, hospitals and clubs of dif-
ferent national traditions. One town
in Minnesota, boasts two colleges, in
one of which ninety per cent of: the
students are, of a single national
group; their, names in the catalogue
announce the fact. The courses in lit-
erature and history are directed to
authors and statesmen not often
named in the more famous colleges of
the country. Illustrations of ~ this
marking of national boundaries in Am-
erican life are presented in the news
of every day, sometimes regrettable
news.

These national groups are created
by the immigrant’s desire to preserve
in a foreign land his family inheri-
tance, his own literature and art, his
own moral and ethical code. Where
our imported national boundaries
unite a group of people for the pre-
servation of such things, they are
good; where they serve only to sep-
arate the new from the old American,
they are dangerous. Unfortunately
the Yankee does not always recog-
nize the good to be gained from im-
porting a culture with our immigrant
people. He seldom makes an effort
to eross the boundary lines to discover
what lies beyond them. His disre-
gard or even scorn may impress more
deeply and dangerously the boundaries
that separate his neighbors) from
him,

The proper object of Americaniza-
tion is the American. He should
realize that his country is built of
many blocks, unlike in texture but
similarly substantial. Our stone comes:
from many distant quarries. If the
American student knows the student
life of Norway, if the American has
read in translation the great works
of Ibsen and Bjornson, Hamsun and
Bojer, if he has been inspired by the
heroic adventures of Nansen, the ex-
plorer and humanitarian statesman,
there will be no division but union be-
tween him and his fellow of Nor-
wegian descent. Let the American
utilize every instrument of association
with the mother lands of his neigh-
bors and the lines of Europe drawr
lightly on his country’s map will be-
come marks of distinction, the stamp
of a culture greater than others be-
cause it includes all.—Yale Interna-
tional News.

DELIGHTFUL DINNER GIVEN IN
TEA ROOM

To have one’s mother visit one is
considered the height of bliss on A.
S. C. campus. Then what shall we
eall it when @ girl’s mother not only
visits her, but even gives a dinner
in her honor in the Alumnae House?
For lack of better vocabulary we

should call it “mighty like paradise.”

Yet that is the good fortune that
came to Josephine Houston, recently.

Jo’s mother, Mrs. J. A. Houston,
of Charlotte, N. C., has been visiting
Jo for the past week, and last Mon-
day, November 17, she issued invita-
tions to a dinner to be given that
evening in honor of her daughtér. The
guests assembled in the lovely parlor
of the Alumnae House, which was
decorated in magnificent yellow and
white chrysanthemums: From there
they adjourned to the tea room, where
a delicious three-course dinner, one
might say banquet, was served.

The invited guests were Miss Hous-
ton, Miss Lillian La Conte, Miss Hous-
ton’s room-mate, and her mother, Mrs.
J. T. Williams, of Atlanta, Misses
Maria Rose, Mary Keesler, Kathleen
Grey, Irene Lourance, and Louisa
Duls, all of Charlotte; Misses Eliza-
beth Cole, Sarah Glenn, Mary Mack-
ey Hough, Louise Scherfesse, Louise

PI ALPHA PHI HOLDS
INTERESTING DEBATE

On Thursday evening, November
20, Pi Alpha Phi settled one of the
burning international problems of the
day to the satisfaction of its mem-
bers, if not to that of the world. The
question was—“Resloved, That the
United States Should Admit the Jap-
anese as Immigrants on the Same
Basis as those People from Europe.”
The subject was particularly of in-
terest to those members of history 8,
who chose this as a subject for term
papers.

The affirmative was upheld by Miss
Nan Lingle and Miss Margaret
Hyatt. They argued from the stand-
point of justice to all races; against
racial prejudice, and that there was
no fundamental difference between
the races.

The negative, championed by Miss
Margery Speake and Miss Martha
Crowe, met these arguments in an ef-
fective manner. They held that the
Japanese present am entirely different
problem from the European immi-
grants, politically, socially, interna-
tionally.

The judges, Miss Hearon, Miss
Davis and Miss D, F. Smith rendered
a two-to-one decision in favor of the
negative. After this the club was
adjourned, The discussion of this in-
teresting problem was highly en-
lightening to all who were present.

or which can be accomplished through any one agency—Rhodes
Scholarships, international exchange of students, international
participation in athletics or in ceremomnials ;—all these show a
recognition of the need of student contact as a means of getting
the world together. Under circumstances such as these, no
apology is needed for the amount of space which the News pro-
poses to devote to the accounts of foreign university life and work.
Wholly apart from the value of the information given to those who
think of pursuing studies abroad, these articles are a recognition
of the fact that the Americam student interest no longer centers

wholly on the problems of his own college campus. So far as
higher education is cancerned, he is trying to think in international
terms. —Yale News.

DAY STUDENT
' NEWS

Owing to the overwhelming popu-
larity and success of the Day Stu-
dents’ musical comedy, it has been
decided to present again this charm-
ing laughter-provoking production.
This time “The String ’Em Girl” will
be given at Egleston Hall in Atlanta,
on the evening of Tuesday, December
2, at 8:15. The same cast that fur-
nished enjoyment for the college com-
munity a little over a week ago will
prove to Atlanta’s discriminating
theatre-going contingent that these
amateurs have professional character-
istics. All of those who enjoyed see-
ing the play (and who didn’t!) will
be glad of another opportunity for do-
ing so, and those of you who were
unfortunate enough to miss it—well,
reserved seats will soon be on sale’
and it would be advisable to secure
them as far in advance as possible.
The day students were more than
pleased with the financial results they
had, and they hope that a considerable
increase will be added to the fund
for their cottage.

While we are on the subject of dra-
matics we would like to add that our
president, Isabel Clarke, is crowning
herself with more laurels. In the
Blackfriar plays, to be given Saturday
evening, November 29, she will im-
personate Percinet, in “The Roman-
cers.” Recollections of Laurie in
“Little Women” and of the hero in
“The String Em Girl” make us sure
that in another masculine role she will
again sway our hearts.

Dearest Giddy,

Giddy just think! This time next
week I'll be eating ‘grapefruit, and
celery and good creamed “ice-pota-
toes” with peas and jelly and cran-
berries and m-a-y-be turkey! It
might be chicken tho’ but it’s just be-
ing Thanksgiving would make chicken
taste like turkey—'’specially when
you’re away from home, Anyway I'll
dress up and feel like I might be
somebody more than just a little
freshman at A. S.C. And then some-
body told me that after supper—din-
ner I mean, we all went over in the
gym and danced and had a regular
orchestra. I’m so excited over it I
can’t sleep at night hardly.

You know, Giddy, the Juniors down
here know almost as much as the
Seniors. Did you ever hear of Circe?
Well, I never did either till just the
other day, but Nan Lingle knew all
the time because the other day Carrie
Graham was reading or writing a play
one, I’ve forgotten which, and she
called out to Nan and asked, “Nan
what does ‘surcease’ mean?” And
Nan said, “Circe? Oh she was the
goddess of plenty.”

And let me tell you something else
about Nan. She was going to French
the other day and got right outside
the window and called to somebody
upstairs—I guess she thought Miss
Hale hadn’t come—‘Did you do all
this old lesson? I just couldn’t do it.”
And there was Miss Hale right there.
She laughed thou and of course Nan
blushed.

gram, the promises and the power of
Jesus. If real trust is reposed in
the Master, his principles of purity,
truth, unselfishness, and love must be
acknowledged; His program must be
made effective in human society; His
promises of redemption, grace, spir-

and the Savior of mankind must take
firm root in the human heart. Real

and Miss Cole said all at once, “Now
I'm going to give you some statistics
and Miss Leyburn, you needn’t look so
bored.” Ellen Douglas was on the
back seat.

I wrote you about Sat didn’t I?
Well he’s got a rival. Lillie Pearl
McElwaney over on 8rd floor white
house has had a dog about a week
that’s eleven inches long and five
inches wide, according to statistics—
and he’s got an awful habit of waking
up every morning about day break
and crying so naturally that it sounds
like a regular baby. I haven’t seen
him yet but he must be cute.

I wrote you once about Lucy Winn,
too, didn’t I? Well, the other day
in psychology Mr. Stukes was telling
about a spiritualistic meeting that he
went to once and how the people act-
ed. Lucy held up her hand—no I be-
lieve she didn’t—she just spoke up
and said, “Well, Mr. Stukes, one time
I went to one and it was the kind
where they turned out the lights and
everything was dark, and you just
sat around and held hands and——”
but everybody was laughing so—and
Mr. Stukes was too, you know he gets
right tickled sometimes—that she
didn’t finish. And then he said, “Well
that wasn't the kind I went to, Miss
Winn.” I haven’t made up my mind
whether I want to go to one or not.
It all depends, don’t you think?

his people, Israel, but in the begin-
ning he relied upon the arm of flesh,
and failure resulted. He went into
the wilderness and there was further
fitted for his great mission, for he
became familiar with the topography
of that religion and what was vastly
more important, he learned that he
must rely on the strength of God.
Education, knowledge, and faith had
prepared Moses for his great task of
delivering the children of Israel from
the land of Pharaoh. Should we as
college students, having education and
knowledge, fail to meet present day
problems squarely, because we lack
faith?

At the Wednesday evening service
Dr. Lilly talked on the Beatitudes,
aptly calling them the chapter of hu-
man happiness. First things must be
put first. “Seek ye first the king-
dom of God.’’ The things of God
are and should be above envy, hatred,
strife, even family ties, and likewise
spiritual relationships have prece-
dence over physical relationships. A
man’s life consists not in the abun-
dance of things that he possesses.
The kingdom of God is better than
that which is good, stronger than that
which is strong, greater than that
which is great, and finer than that
which is fine. Our lives should be
based on Christ’s system of values
and His interpretation of life, and
to learn of these spiritual fellowships
is necessary.

On Thursday morning Dr. Lilly’s
subject was “Christian Service.” Our
Christianity is proved by our works.
By their fruits ye shall know them;
for an evil tree brings forth corrupt
fruit, but a good tree brings forth
good fruit. Christianity is a live
thing, for it is vitalized by spiritual
experience. Morality is known as be-
longing essentially to Christianity.
The Chinese have good systems of
morals but they lack the spirit which

There is a group of girls on the
campus which doesn’t often come to
the public eye, but they are doing
an effective and very necessary work.
These are the discussion group lead-
ers. Every week they meet, and, in-
structed by “Jo” Schuessler, study

methods of a discussion group and
make plans for the meetings which
are held every Wednesday night at
9:45. Because we don’t hear of this
group, as a group, we sometimes fail
to realize the real work these girls
are putting forth to make our dis-
cussions a success. If there are any
suggestions for study the girls will
try to carry them out. Give them to
some member of the committee, which
consists of Evalyn Powell, Elizabeth
Lilly, Maria Rose, Margaret Keith,

The Student Industrial Commis-
sion had a delightful meeting on Tues-
day, November 18. Mrs. Gereke, the
industrial secretary, had us all in to
her house to supper. She has a darl-
ing little apartment, consisting of a
tiny kitchen and a living room, bed
room and dining room combined, We
were very worried on arrival for she
told us that that was all the apart-
ment; and we couldn’t see where she
slept. Upon investigation, however,
we found a Murphy bed in the closet.

After supper we had a wedding.
The students and industrial girls were
joined in a union of perpetual friend-
ship. We hope this will extend fur-
ther than the little group which was
touched that night; and take in every
student and industrial girl of Agnes
Scott and Atlanta.

This next Sunday we are to have
our industrial program and we sin-
cerely hope all the girls will come and
meet the industrial girl who is go-
ing to speak to us.

would carry out their principles.
Christianity brings forth works of
mercy and deeds of philanthropy, or
else it is not real Christianity. The
Christian should be ready to serve
his Master at all times and should
see to it, in so far as he can, that all
people have a chance in life. All who
own Christ as Lord should live lives
that merit the words of the Master,
“Come, ye blessed of my Father, in-
herit the kingdom prepared for you.”

Thursday evening Dr. Lilly contin-
ued his series of lectures with a talk
on the “Transfiguration of Jesus and
its Meaning.” The transfiguration
took place after Jesus had first an-
nounced to His disciples that life must
suffer and die for the sins of the
world. Peter, speaking for the group,
said that these things could not be;
the disciples, in spite of constant com-
panionship with Jesus could not un-
derstand the value of the cross. Je-
sus in this great time of need stood
alone in the world, but going up into
the mountain He sought His Father in
prayer. He found comfort while His
three closest earthly friends were

meant the confirmation of the dedi-
cation of His life to sacrifice and
death, even the death of the cross,
for the salvation of the world. What

then does the transfiguration mean to
us? Because of the Master’s great
purpose in life He was thrown face
to face with great problems which in
turn brought wonderful spiritual ex-

A surprising thing is the lack of
fairness which has been found prev-

been turned in, they often fail to
answer at all notices of offers which

Meeting of Student Government
Conference at Vassar
(Continued from Page 1, Column 3)

at 7:30, and then the second session
of the conference opened at 9 o’clock.
There was a discussion as to how
Student Government might be made

more vital to the individual, and a
discussion of open forums and cur-
riculum committees as a means of
securing interest’ in Student Govern-
ment. It was the opinion of the con-
ference that interest might be se-
cured from open forums, discussion
groups, personal contact with those
not so interested, questionnaires with
the freshmen, and college press. There
was a discussion of student and joint
faculty and community government,
of their comparision in efficiency, and
of a method of promoting good feel-
ing between the faculty and students.
It was decided that faculty advice
and cooperation are desirable, but
: that methods vary with needs of indi-
vidual colleges. The question of the
; college paper was also taken up Fri-
day morning. In some colleges there
is a faculty censorship with members

Varsity Hockey Team Plays Faculty.

Many have been the games between
the different classes. All of them
have been interesting, yea even excit-
ing. However, “the best comes last,”
and this was certainly true of the
game between the faculty and the
varsity team.

The student body threw the gaunt-
let to their instructors in the form
of a challenge:

To the most worthy, honored, and
all powerful faculty—

At midnight hours when our lights
we'd burn,

We thought of you—’twas then your
turn,

We studied at Latin, at Math and
Prose;

Hours and hours we spent on the
bores.

But all things come to those who wait,

And though to you it may seem late,

A game of hockey will be our revenge,

And so to the following your ears
please lend:

Friday afternoon at half-past two,

We can’t tell the time when we'll get
through.

The faculty, unwilling that the chal-
lenge should go unanswered, respond-
ed:
We, the members of the faculty of
Agnes Scott College, being of doubt-
ful minds and decrepit bodies, do nev-
ertheless, notwithstanding, just the
same, accept the challenge of the var-
sity team to engage in a contest of
sticks, the game to be played under
the following conditions:

1, Owing to our neuro-muscular
and psycho-physical incapacity, the
game shall be played in four quarters
of five minutes each, with intermis-
sions of three minutes between quar-
ters, and ten minutes between halves.

2. Water boys and lemon squeez-
ers shall be placed at convenient in-
tervals along the line of attack, in
order that our usual dryness may
cause as little suffering as possible.

83. Whenever there is any dispute
as to the possession of the ball, the
student team will, on account of the
superior age and inferior ability of
their opponents, stand back and let
the faculty try first.

4. The members of the student
team will not take advantage of this
opportunity to indulge in any subtle

of the faculty on the staff. It was
the opinion of the conference that
the students should be given free ex-
pression with faculty intervention
only in such matters as affected the
outside world. This session ended at
11:30.

Then the conference assembled into
small discussion groups, in which the
problems were discussed in detail
whose underlying principles had been
discussed in the general meeting.

A buffet luncheon was given at
12:30 in the alumnae house. Our rep-
resentatives were quite enthusiastic
in their praise of the beauty of this
building, but they said the idea of
an alumnae house had been received
from Agnes Scott. After lunch a
picture of the conference was taken
on the steps of the Alumnae House.

At 2:30 came an afternoon session
of the conference, at which the honor
system was discussed under the heads
of social honor and academic honor.
The question of self-reporting or re-
porting by others was considered. The
general feeling was that penalties
should have educational rather than
deterrent value and should fit the of-
fender rather than the offense. The
question of the degree of publicity to
give cases brought up in Student Gov-
ernment was raised, and was decided
to be determined by feelings and cir-
cumstances of various colleges. After
a consideration of the value of psy-
chiatic tests, the session closed at
4:30.

There was a picnic on Sunset Hill
at 5 o’clock, and at 8 p. m., a recital
by a Vassar graduate, Miss Maeir.
Informal receptions in the faculty
homes followed.

The last session of the conference
opened at 9 o’clock, Saturday morn-
ing. Unfinished business and the
election of the following officers for
next year were taken up: President,
Wellesley; vice-president, Radcliff;
secretary, Connecticut College. Va-
rious reports were heard, and the con-
ference adjourned at 11 o'clock.

Taxis were waiting outside and ev-
eryone made a rush for a train to
take her back to her Alma Mater.

retaliation upon their instructors by
mutilating, damaging, wrecking, de-
capitating, or de-feeting them.

5. In ease of rain, escorts bearing
umbrellas and overshoes shall be pro-
vided for the members of the faculty
team, to and from the field of con-
flict, so that their spirits will not be
dampened.

6. The price of admission to the

side lines shall be ten cents; on ac-
count of the greater safety provided
from faculty balls, reserved seats
in the windows of the Library shall
be sold for twenty cents each; the
gate receipts are to be dedicated to
the new gym.
7. An audience of at least fifty
must be guaranteed, as we wish our
influence to be felt by as large a num-
ber of spectators as possible.

These conditions are hopefully sub-
mitted for your considerations.

Confidently yours till the whistle
blows,

The Faculty of Agnes Scott College.

Signed and sealed this twentieth
day of November, nineteen hundred
and twenty-four.

The game was a laugh from start
to finish. The faculty proved them-
selves quite efficient in the wielding
of the hockey stick; and the varsity
strained every muscle in opposition.
The Jine-ups were peculiarly inter-
esting.

New Gymnasium Building To Thanksgiving
Be Started At Once

Will Surpass All Other
Buildings of the Kind
In This Section

The greater Agnes Scott has begun.
At a meeting of the board of trustees
last week, it was decided to begin at
once the building of a new gymnasium,
which is to be the first of a series of
new buildings destined to constitute |
the “Greater Agnes Scott.” And!
work on the gymnasium is to begin:
this month in spite of the fact that,
the trustees are facing a deficit of|
some $40,000, having secured ony!
$128,000 to cover a bid of $166,000. Tt
will be necessary, therefore, to erect,
the building on the imstallment plan.
Sufficient funds are now on hand to
construct the buildimg im its exterior,
the gymnasium proper, the floor for
the gallery, six or seven rooms for
student activities, a stage, and the
room for the pool. Features, how-
ever, as the elaborate lighting sys-
tem for the stage, nd even the pool
itself, will have to await further
funds.

When completed, our mew g¢ym-
nasium will surpass all other build-
ings of its kind im ‘this part of the
country. It is planned to accommo-
date a thousand students. Of the
ground floor, the swimming pool, an
up-to-date, tile affair, 25x60 feet, cov-
ers one side. Midway in the
room are individual basket lockers
and box lockers arranged in rows,
where all gym clothes are to be kept,
and showers. If a girl wishes to go
in swimming, she gets her bathing
suit from a basket locker, takes a
shower, walks to a little office near
the pool, where she checks her day
clothes, takes a foot-bath, and dives
into the water. ©n coming out of
the pool, she must follow certain wet
aisles so as not to track up the floor.
If, on the contrary, she is dressing for
gymnasium exercises, the girl obtains
her gym-clothes from the basket lock-
er, and deposits her day clothes in
a box locker, amd then goes upstairs
to the main gymnasium floor. (Ad-
vice: Begin learming above ritual
now). On the other side of the ground
floor, there is a special gymnasium
for girls taking individual exercises.
Besides this, there is on the ground
floor, a laundry, where gym suits are

Sophie Newcomb, Randolph Macon,
and Agnes Scott will meet in their an-
nual battle of words the third Fri-
day in March, 1925. The _ subject
chosen for discussion is, “Resolved,
That the Johnson Immigration Bill
Would Be for the Best Interest of the
United States,” suggested by both
Sophie Newcomb and Randolph Ma-
con.

The first Pi Alpha Phi debate on
this subject will take place December

for concentrated work on the prep-
aration of the final discussion, each
debating three times. From these
twelve the teams will be chosen to
represent Agnes Scott in the annual
debate next spring.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., TUESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1924

Dr. Peters Lectures
On “Vocational
Guidance”

Stimulates Interest in Women’s
Jobs

Dr. I. W. Peters, head of the Socio-
logy Department at Goucher College,
who has been touring the South this
fall, lecturing to college women on
“Vocational Guidance,” paid a second
visit to Agnes Scott on Monday, No-
vember 24. At that time she deliv-
ered an address to the students of

| Psychology I.

Dr. Peters gave a brief survey of
the progress of woman from an eco-
nomic standpoint, since the dawn of
history. When the curtain of his-
tory is first raised, we find two types
of peoples inhabiting Europe, those
of the Russian grasslands, and those
dwelling along the Mediterranean
basin. The northern (or Russian)
branch, was characterized by a pa-
ternalistic form of government. The
peoples were nomadic, and continued
to be so until climatic pulsations
wrought a change to community life.
Even then the family organization
was kept. The community had a
standardized size, and budded when
it became too big. This sort of life
continued to the feudal period, and,
after that, began the great modern
age of city life, in which we are now
living.

The peoples of the Mediterranean
basin seemed from the first better
fitted for living in large communities.

Among them, families were not so
highly individualized, and city life

began earlier. On these people, the
mother left a deep imprint. In fact,
they had at first a matrilinear form
of government. Traces of the influ-
ence of the mother are found in the
great Diana of the Ephesians, and in
the much prized Madonnas which the
litle towns of Spain still have.
These two streams of civilization
and culture, the rigid, stern North

Dr. Lilly Leads
Discussion Group
Sunday Night

|Discusses Questions For

Students and Faculty

In addition to the other work Dr.
Lilly did while at Agnes Scott, he
was kind enough to have a discussion
talk Sunday night, November 23, at
which time he answered questions that
had been placed by students in a box
arranged for the purpose in Miss
Hopkin’s office.

Every one was urged to put in this
box any questions, unsigned if so de-
sired, that she might wish to be dis-
eussed. This talk by Dr, Lilly was
perhaps one of the most interesting
and valuable that he made, and it
cleared for us some problems that we
have often pondered over with no
satisfactory results, To the question
concerning the body that one has after
death, Dr. Lilly answered with a quo-
tation from the Shorter Catechism,
familiar to Presbyterian girls, “The
souls of believers are at their death
made perfect in holiness and so im-
mediately pass into glory, and their
bodies being: still united to Christ do
rest in the graves until resurrection.”
He said that one would not have the
same body as formerly on earth, but
would have a new one, which is given
in order to complete his personality.

There were many other interesting
questions. To the one asking if mir-
acles were performed today, Dr. Lilly
replied in the negative, explaining
that we do not need them now. An-

Celebrations

Dinner and Dance Feature

Day

Turkey and frost and pumpkin pie!
Agnes Scott last Thursday enjoyed a
regular Thanksgiving Day, with boxes
from home, picnics, football games, a
day at home, and just everything.
After a day of holiday-making, a gor-
geous dinner in each dining room be-
gan the evening’s fun. The dining
rooms were decorated with autumn
leaves and candles, while the tables
were covered with turkey, cranberry
sauce, celery, and all the things that
go to make up the dinner on the last
Thursday of November.

All the girls, pretty in evening
dresses of every color, adjourned to
the gym after dinner to dance to our
very own jazz band, until Mr. White
heartlessly turned out the lights.

It would be useless to attempt to
describe the ways in which Agnes
Scott girls spent the day. Visitors
were so numerous that the very place
looked strange. Mothers, cousins,
friends, alumnae helped make the day
happier. Ruth Hall was the guest
of Eleanore Albright and Elsa Jacob-
sen. Janice Brown also visited here.
Many other alumnae spent the day.

Atlanta and Stone Mountain enter-
tained many girls. Evelyn Powell
had a group at camp to spend the day.
Alene Ramage’s father took a gay
party on a picnic, which every one en-
joyed thoroughly.

Some girls were so lucky as to be
able to spend the day at home. No
less than six girls went to Augusta!
Mildred Jennings went to be in a
wedding, and Elizabeth Norfleet went
all the way to Winston-Salem, North
Carolina. We know we will hear noth-
ing except “when I was home” from

Emory- Agnes Scott
Field Trip

Atlanta Society of Biologists
Organized

One of the most interesting and in-
formal clubs on the campus is the
Biology Club, sponsored by the de-
partment of biology, and comprising
in its membership all biology majors
and any students particularly inter-
ested in the subject. The field trips
of the club are always intensely in-
teresting, but one of the most en-
joyable outings of the year was the
recent trip to Stone Mountain.

This trip was made with the Biology
Club of Emory University, at the in-
vitation of Prof. E. S. Heath, of At-
lanta. When the party reached the
base of the huge granite mountain,
Mr, Heath made an interesting and
very instructive talk on ‘Plant As-
sociation.” At the end of his talk,
his enthusiastic listeners climbed the
mountain, and on the top Professor
Heath pointed out numerous unusual
specimens.

Supper was eaten at the foot of the
mountain, and after an afternoon
spent in the open, the cheery blaze
of the camp fire was a welcome sight.
When everyone’s hunger had been
satisfied, the party crowded around
the fire and organized the Atlanta
Society of Biologists. The new so-
ciety immediately elected Professor
Heath as president.

It is of especial interest to Agnes
Seott to know that Professor Heath
will come here after Christmas to
teach the course on Local Flora,
which the Biology Department is of-
fering. After last week’s delightful
trip, the course is being looked for-
ward to with a great deal of pleasure.

Those who went on the trip were
Agnes Scott and Emory Biology
Clubs, Miss MacDougall and her as-

sistants, Dr. and Mrs. Rhodes and
Professors Boyd and Mitchell of
Emory.

Mr. Moore Addresses
Bible Club

Tells of College Life At Oxford

The Bible Club was fortunate in
having as a speaker at its meeting
of November 24th, a Mr. Arthur
Moore, of Atlanta, who has done
graduate work at Oxford University,
England. The subject of Mr. Moore’s
talk was “Biblical Influences at Ox-
ford.” He deseribed most interesting-
ly college life as it is in England,
life entirely different from that of
the American college.

Social functions at Oxford, Mr.
Moore said, consist largely in tea-
parties, given by students to students.
It seems to be the custom of the il-
lustrious professors, also, to invite
certain of their scholars to breakfast
in their apartments.

Athletics play a large part in Eng-
lish college life, as they do in ours,
but Oxford studies are carried on in
an entirely different way. The stu-
dents have no téxt-books, no classes,
no. daily assignments, no tests, and
examinations only twice during the
entire four years. (Sounds blissful,
doesn’t it?) Hach student has a tu-
tor, and he goes to him about once
a week to receive’ assignments for the
week. ' Mr. Moore said of his own
first assignment in graduate Bible
work, that he was told to write a pa-
per on Amos. The teacher simply
stated that the library was before
him, and that there would be on the
subject two lectures by different men,
which he might attend if he cared
to. During the week, professors (fot
tutors) deliver lectures, which the stu-
dents may attend if they wish. At
the end of the first two years, the
first set of examinations is given,
each examination lasting six hours.
At the end of the fourth year, the
last set of examinations must be
stood.

Mr. L. C. Mandeville
Important Me mber
Board of Trustees

Mandeville Scholarship Gives
Aid To Girls

Mr. L. C. Mandeyille is third on the
list of our trustees, arranged accord-
ing to years of service. He has been
one of the most faithful members and,
although he lives out of town, he al-
ways attends the meetings, often at
a great personal sacrifice of time and
convenience. He has never allowed
the college to reimburse him for any
of his expenses.

He has been interested in the col-
lege almost from its foundation. Three
of his daughters are Agnes Scott
Alumnae, the oldest of whom, Miss
Eugenia Mandeville, married not long
after graduation and died. In her
memory, Mr. Mandeville established a
scholarship which has helped more
girls than any other one that has been
placed here.

In addition to this, he has helped,
personally, a large number of girls
to come to Agnes Scott, and takes re-
markable interest in the welfare of
all the students. From summer to
summer he has been seeing them at
Montreat and always attends the
Agnes Scott rallies there. Through
his acquaintance at Montreat and at
other places, he has influenced many
girls to come here. Probably no other
trustee is known personally by more
of our girls except Mr. Orr.

Mr. Mandeville was born in Carroll-
ton, Ga., September 25, 1851. He is
the son of Mr. Appleton Mandeville,

“Neighbors,” ‘‘The Roman-
cers,” “Joint Owners In
Spain”’ All Successful

The three one-act plays presented
by Blackfriars Saturday evening were
a great success from every stand-
point. The Chapel was more than
ever before converted into the semb-
lance of a real theatre, for there was
our own orchestra in “dress suits”,
to play before the plays began, and
between acts. It was ably directed
by Miss Mary Douglas.

The first play illustrated how a
whole community forgets its individ-
ual troubles and becomes “just
folks” in an effort to aid one of its
members who is threatened with real
distress. The scene of the second
play was laid in France, when pow-
dered wigs and hoop skirts were worn.
Here, the plot of the two fathers to
bring about the marriage of their
son and daughter succeeded, but at
the cost of the life of the man they
hired to aid them. The last play
on the programme had already been
presented several years ago by the
Decatur Alumnae, and those who
were fortunate enough to see it then
feared that the second view of it
would bring disappointment. But, if
such a thing is possible, they were
disappointed by not being disappoint-
ed. The play was exceptionally well
performed.

None of the audience guessed that
Ellen Walker, who played Miss Carry
Ellsworth in the first play, left the
Infirmary to do so, for her perform-
ance was characterized by her usual
good acting---She awas-nut, however,
able to take the part assigned ta
her in the third play. The breach
was admirably filled by Frances
Amis,

The acting was good on the whole,
and it would be a difficult task to
designate anyone as outshining the
others, for the cast was an all star
one, and each member of it co-operat-
ed with the others to make the plays
a success, instead of striving {for
individual glory,

The cast of characters follows:

Carolina Playmakers
To Come To
Agnes Scott

Blackfriars To Bring Them Here
After Christmas ,

It is with a great deal of interest
that we look forward to the coming
of the Carolina Playmakers. The
exact date upon which they are ex-
pected is not definitely set as yet,
but in all probability they will be
here shortly after Christmas.

Blackfriars is corresponding with
them at present, and hopes that, when
the Carolina Playmakers come to At-
lanta through the Drama League, they
will also perform for Agnes Scott,

This organization is doing a very
interesting and instructive work.
These students of the University of
North Carolina have gained national
repute. In fact, they have been criti-
cized (favorably) in the Theater
Magazine. It is obvious that the fact
that they do the menial tasks, aside
from the artistic, does not lessen, but
rather increases their popularity.
They write their own plays, about the
Carolina mountaineers, direct them,
act them, make their costumes and
construct and paint their scenery.

Since they are making a tour of
the southern colleges we are especial-
ly anxious to have them here.

Agnes Scott has been unusually fortunate this year in securing
a number of speakers on Vocational Guidance. There is nothing
of more interest to a college and to the students of a college than
to learn the fields of activity open to its students who have com-
pleted their course in college. It has only been since the war that
the business and professional fields of work have been opened
to women. The North has made rapid progress in this and it is
considered as usual to see college women in every field of activity.
In the South, however, this progress has been slower, the aim
of the colleges has been to meet the demand for teachers. Agnes
Scott took the lead in this and became one of the leading scholastic
colleges for women in the South. Agnes Scott has encouraged her
students to enter this field of work because the administrators and
faculty felt that in the South at that time it was the field in which
her graduates could give the greatest service.

Today, however, other colleges are pushing Agnes Scott in the
teaching field and urging Agnes Scott to take the lead in the next
step. Though Agnes Scott still wants many of her girls to. teach,
yet she would have them know that other fields are open to them.
The professions have opened their doors to college graduates, and
with training they may now become lawyers, doctors, statisticians,
or enter secretarial work. The college girl of today has a wonder-
ful opportunity for success. We hope and urge the Seniors of
Agnes Scott to enter some of these new fields of work, that your
success will not only bring credit to you but will also bring honor
to your Alma Mater.

They slump dis-
mally into a chair and feed their
minds on whatever takes the least
mental effort. They wish that some-
thing would happen and wonder why
they do not have enough “pep” to
start anything. Fatigue poison has
lost far more athletic contests for
Colby than nicotine or alcohol.

Margaret Waviwiene

A few men seem to be able to op-
erate indefinitely on a very little
sleep. ... But the chances are a hun-
dred to one that you can not. You
can get along on five or six hours
a night for a long time, but the ac-
cumulated fatigue will eventually take
its toll. Nature always collects her
bills.

Colby would be a better place to
live in if the nerves of all the men
were kept toned and sweet by a gen-
erous measure of sleep. Let us pray
with “Robert Louis the Beloved”:

“Give us to go blithely about our
business all this day and bring us to
our resting bed weary, content, and
undishonored, and grant us in the end
the gift of sleep.”

The above taken from the Colby
Echo of Colby University at Water-
ville, Maine, might as suitably be ap-
plied to Agnes Scott. Take warning
from this and let it not be said of the
Agnes Scott students that they are
bored and have no initiative or “pep”
because of a lack of sleep.

VARSITY HOCKEY TEAM PLAYS
THE ALUMNAE.

The varsity hockey team played the
Alumnae last Friday afternoon. Each
team played well; in fact so well that
the final score was 2 and 2. It is
needless to mention the merits of the
Varsity, each of us know them al-
ready; but oh, you should have seen
those Alumnae play. The saying
goes, “Practice makes perfect”; well,
this game was the exception to the
rule, for the Alumnae team came near
perfection, and when have they had
opportunity for practice?

It was some two weeks ago that
the Varsity challenged the Alumnae.
And those that “have gone on be-
fore” responded:

It may be we’re thought passe

Compared with those we are

asked to play.

Out of practice we may lack

Wind enough, but not the knack

To give the Varsity a scare;

Name the day and we’ll be there.

This reply was extremely apt, for
the graduates of “days gone by” cer-
tainly did have the “knack,” and the
Varsity without a doubt had its
“seare.””

The line-ups will give an idea of
how the game was played. Of course,
Nonie Peck was the Alumna star;
one year out of school does not seem
to have affected her ability as center
halfback.

AD-

men. St. Louis became expert in
dealing with husbands who had de-
serted their wives and refused to sup-
port their families. Mrs. Van Winkle
has done very effective work in Wash-
ington. Her methods of case investi-
gation are of the best type, and have
shown that the delinquent girl, who
needs the protection and care of the
police woman, is the girl with a bad
background. Often the delinquent girl
is from a poor, neglected home, and
has had little or no education. There
is an increasing demand for the
trained woman who can do police
work. The International Association
of Police Women, which is really not
an international association at all,
but an association of police women
formed with the idea of an interna-
tional scope, hopes to have a real in-
ternational conference in May. The
association is expanding and has a
field secretary to hold institutes, go
to colleges, and visit communities.

What can the police woman do? In
the present day it is true that young
people are seeking amusement outside
of the home. The police woman can
report bad conditions and see that the
licenses of dance halls and other
places. of amusement which give
wrong standards of life are taken
away. She becomes familiar with
street loiterers, and is thus enabled
to protect and help young girls. She
is in truth a community mother.

The question of rehabilitation is one
of interest. Some cases are put on
probation and are carefully watched
and helped. Others are taken care of
in institutions. The cottage system
has proved to be very effective. One
cottage has about forty girls and a
house mother. The right kind of ideals
and standards are given to the girls
if possible.

The English police service for wo-
men developed more rapidly than ours,
and the idea of the work spread to
Germany and Belgium. The Latin
countries are doing nothing along this
line, but the more progressive nations
are realizing the value and importance
of the work. All success to the police
woman and her work!

Miss Davis, head of the department
of Sociology and Economics at Agnes
Scott, secured Dr. Valeria H. Parker,
M. D., of the Department of Protec-
tive Measures of the American Social
Hygiene Association, who has been in
Atlanta for the past week in connec-
tion with the Institute of Social
Hygiene, to come and lecture to us
in the chapel at five o’clock on Fri-
day afternoon. The lecture was given
-especially for students of Sociology
-and Economics, but all who were in-
terested were invited to be present.
Dr. Parker’s subject was “What the
Police Woman Has Accomplished.”

Dr. Parker told us that the police
woman, in spite of her rather formid-

-able-sounding name, is very feminine.
The fact that woman has gone into
this field of work does not mean that
she has become masculine in tempera-
ment. She has done her work, but
has lost none of her charm or wo-
manliness.

The history of the police woman is
very scattered. Woman's entrance
into the police department was
through the very humble position of
jail matron. Up until 1882 there were
only men jailers. As the pay was
poor, only men of a low standard held
these positions, and. they took advant-
age of the situation. In 1882 through
the influence of the Women’s Chris-
tian Temperance Union, a woman s€-

cured a place as jail matron, and the
career of the police woman had its
beginning. In 1905 in Portland, Ore-
gon, women were appointed as pro-
tective officers to take charge of
young and ignorant girls who came
from the country. In 1910 Alice Wells
was made a police woman in Los An-
geles, California, and a year later
other women were appointed for the
same type of work and put under the
civil service. Large cities were na-
turally the first to have police wo-

GLEE CLUB GIVES RECITAL

The members of the vocal depart-
ment are inaugurating a series of de-
lightful recitals under the direction
of their instructor, Mr. Johnston.
These are given each Wednesday eve-
ning and are disclosing some most
interesting talent. Particulars will
be given as the programs are de-
veloped.

COMMUNITY BACKGROUNDS

In the last analysis our universities
will reflect the standards of Ameri-
ean civilization. We exist
apart from that which creates us. If
American home life changes, the uni-

cannot

versities will change either for the
better or for the worse. When the
average community honors learning
and scholarship the universities will
thrive. When boys and girls come
from homes where, without argument,
it is assumed that music and poetry,
art and aesthetics, learning and cul-
ture are among the abiding values of
life, then we shall have less difficulty
in finding and developing the vital
factor in university life. It is not the
conclusions that we hammer out in
hard logic that dominate life. It is
our instinctive assumptions and our
almost subconscious inferences that
rule us. Today in the average home
in America the unquestioned motive
is the amassing of money. The ideal
man in America today is the powerful
executive, the organizing genius, the
business magnate, the dominating fi-
nancier. Now America needs him and
must have him. Economic prosperity
lies at the basis of our ultimate great-
ness. But can there not be more room
for the poet, the author, the scientist,
the college professor, the research
worker; cannot American youths
grow up understanding that these men
are highly valuable to civilization and,
to speak boldly if not vulgarly, a
credit to the family that rears one?
When the public sends us students
nurtured in a background of this kind
we shall find more possible to develop
the vital factor in university life.

Michigan.

SENIORS ENTERTAIN SOPHO-
MORE SISTERS

The Propylean Hall Wednesday aft-
ernoon was the scene of the Senior-
Sophomore Tea. The Hall was beau-
tifully decorated with yellow chrysan-
themums which added their bright-
ness to the merriment of the faces.
Several musical numbers started off
the program of the evening. Then
Mary Ben Wright recited a piece of
the Old South amd gave a very hu-
morous interpretation of an old negro
mammy. Martha Lin Manley, presi-
dent of the Senior Class. presented
the Sophomore sisters with the rings
of their Senior sisters. Punch and
sandwiches were served while the
piano played by Bright Daniel, filled
the atmosphere with familiar tunes.
This entertainment is only one of the
many kind expressions of love exist-
ing betweem the sisters of the Sopho-
more and Senior classes. The tea
ended around six, and each Soph
proud of wearing: her sister’s ring left
with a feeling of love which was felt
by each Big Sister.

MISS McDOUGALL HONORED

Miss Mary Stuart McDougall, head
of the Biology department, has re-
cently received a very great honor.
Her paper written on certain discov-
eries she made while doing research
work in Embryology during the last
two years, entitled “Cytological Ob-
servations. on Chlemydodent Citiates,”
is to be printed in the “Quarterly
Journal of Microscopical Science,”

In a recent contest held by the
“Watchtower” of Wesleyan College,
the title of “Give and Take,” written
by Miss Mary K. Read, of Savannah,
won the prize for the most appro-
priate name for the exchange column
of that institution.

The most unfortunate letter in the
alphabet, some say is the letter “E,”
because it is always out of “cash,”
forever in “debt,” never out of danger
and in “hell” all the time. That’s
all true, still it’s never in “war,” al-
ways in “peace,” and always in some-
thing to- “eat.” It is the beginning
of “existence,” the commencement of
“ease” and the end of “trouble.”
Without it there could be no “life,”
no “heaven.” It is the center of
“honesty” and always in “love.” It
is the beginning of “endeavor” and the
end of “failure.’—Exchange.

A new policy is being Iaunched by
the “Technique,” by which the same
man will not have charge of the pa-
per every week. Jor instance, one
issue will be managed by the editor-
in-chief and an assistant of the board.
An assistant editor and an assistant
on the board will publish the next is-
sue. Thus the plan is to rotate the
responsibilities, giving every man the
chance to learn how the whole scheme
or any part is operated; and at the
same time to disclose any new ideas
that may be lying dormant at present.

At the last meeting of the Council
of Deans at Emory University it was
decided that the grade “A-plus’”
should never more be conferred upon
Emory men. Henceforth the highest
grade to be given is “A” which is
symbolic of excellent work.

GIDDIE GOS$$sIP

Well, Giddy, Thanksgiving is over,
but I did have the best time you ever
heard of. It was turkey sure enough,
and everything that goes with it and
after supper—oh, dinner, I mean—
we danced and danced and danced
over in the gym.

And, Giddy, I went to the game,
too. You know—the Thanksgiving
football game between Ga. Tech and
Auburn and it was so good. I just
can’t get over getting asked to go to
it by a b-o-y when I'm so far away
from home. It’s the same one I wrote
you about having a date with. I’m
not going to tell you his name tho’
because you wouldn’t appreciate it—
very few people do he says and I’m
one of them.

Anyway he’s real nice and I like
him lots.

Not very much of interest—rather
things that would interest you—has
happened this week. There was one
real funny thing tho’ and that was
the hockey game between the faculty
and the varsity team. I didn’t get on
it but one freshman did.

You should have been here to see
that game tho’, Friday morning the
students challenged the faculty, and
they (the faculty) replied in the fun-
niest speech I ever heard—(when I
get my Aggie I'll send it to you to
read it). They charged a dime to see
the game and I had eleven pennies so
I just gave them the extra one for
good measure. Later on I_ heard
somebody say they made $14.61—and
they were wondering where the 1 cent
came from—but I didn’t tell them.
There were loads of people there—
about 146 I guess (if my mathe-
matics is right) and Mary Mackey
Hough was one of them. She was
standing on the side line and all at
once she said real seriously—“Who
is that lady down there with the green
striped skirt on. Isn’t she acting
crazy.” And it was Helena Hermance,

MR. L. C. MANDEVILLE, IMPOR-
TANT MEMBER OF BOARD
OF TRUSTEES
(Continued from Page 1, Column 4)

of New York state, and Mrs. Mary
Anne Stewart Mandeville, of Derby,
Vt., who, newly married, came as
pioneers to Georgia in 1833. They
settled in Carroll county, which was
then sparsely inhabited. Mr. Mande-
ville then took up much land and laid
the foundation for later prosperity.

Mr. L. C. Mandeville was first
taught by his older sister, since there
were no schools in the county then.
Later he attended private school and
the public school of Carrollton. He
entered the mercantile business in
Carrollton and has done moré to build
up that city and county than any
other citizen. He became president of
the Mandeville Cotton and Oil Mills,
which was later reorganized as the
Mandeville Mills, and which is one of
the most successful companies in the
south. He is also president of the
First National Bank in Carrollton
and is a director or stockholder of
nearly all the leading enterprises of
that section.

In boyhood, Mr. Mandeville joined
the Carrollton ‘Presbyterian church
and for many years since has served
the church as deacon and treasurer.
At present he is senior elder and the
superintendent of the Sunday school.

He has always been noted for hos-
pitality. At a recent meeting of the
Presbytery in Carrollton, he insisted
on entertaining all of the delegates
for part of the time, though he, him-
self, was sick in the hospital.

He is interested in all educational
work and has established a scholar-
ship at the Montreat Normal as well
as at Agnes Scott; he has donated the
only endowment funds now possessed
by the Nacoochee Institute, and is in-
terested in helping a student at Flora
McDonald College. He is also a trus-
tee of Oglethorpe University, and is
treasurer of the Fourth District Agri-
cultural and Mechanical School. It
was chiefly through his influence that
this last school was secured for Car-
rollton.

Thus we see that Mr. Mandeville’s
time is in great demand, and we ap-
preciate very much his sacrifice of
time as an active member of our
board of trustees, and also the finan-
cial aid he has given so unselfishly.

dressed up fit to kill with two beauty
spots and a red jacket, green skirt
and plumey hat leading songs and
yells.

And Giddy, do you know that Dr.
J. R. McCain, the president of Agnes
Scott, played goal guard for the fac-
ulty? Yes, sir! he surely did and
believe me he was a good one. One
time a ball was coming thru the goal
and he hit it just as hard as he could
and there was Miss Howson standing
about two yards away. Of course she
was in the ball’s way so it hit her—
hard too, and Dr. McCain was so em-

barrassed he didn’t know what to do
so he let the students make a goal.

And Mr. Cunningham! (He’s busi-
ness manager, you know). You should
have seen him trip over his own stick
and roll over about four times be-
fore he could find out where he was
and get on his correct understanding
again. And they were all dressed so
crazy—with little goatees and every-
thing.

It was worth a good dime and I’m
glad I gave them eleven cents.

Giddy, you’ve heard of Speedy King
haven’t you? She graduated last year
and they call her Speedy because she’s
so slow, and absent minded, too. Well,
she was here the other day and was
talking to Walkie Perry—and you
know Walkie’s got bobbed hair like
most of the rest of us. And Walkie
said, “Well, Speedy, I see you haven’t
bobbed your hair yet.” And Speedy
very absent mindedly said, “No-o-o,
have you?” I'd hate to be that ab-
sent minded wouldn’t you?

Giddy do you know what an opti-
mist is—the latest definition of one
I mean? II don’t think you do so I'll
tell you—it’s a cross-eyed man who’s
thankful he’s not bow-legged.

Ink’s giving out. I cut bangs the
other day and here’s what I look like

WW A.

The Y. W. C. A. wishes to express
to Dr. Lilly its sincerest appreciation
of the talks he has made to us and
the inspiration he has been to the
whole campus. We have all felt a
personal contact which we have re-
ceived from few other lecturers; and
we hope we may be able to carry the
inspiration we have received, through
the rest of the year.

One of the best ways of living up
to his teachings and to the confidence
he has in us as women, is to find a
church home; and give to it the best
we have and let it give its best to
us. Thus far only about one hundred
and twenty-five girls have affiliated
with a church. Does this mean that
the rest are to spend the time as
vagabonds, just wandering from one
church to another with no special
loyalty to any? We _ hope not,
Church affiliation does not mean that
you have to attend one special church
all the time; it only means that you
have a church home—a place where
you will be welcome, and where you
have a right to turn as you would
turn to your own home.

Each girl needs a church of her
own just as she needs a home, some-
times in the temporary absence of
a home we are prone to think it means
that we cannot have a church either;
but this is not so, we may have a
church, we need it, so all who can,
think of the love you bear your home
church, and affiliate somewhere in
the city.

NEW GYMNASIUM BUILDING TO
BE STARTED AT ONCE
(Continued from Page 1, Column 1)

to be laundered and put back into the
basket lockers (they are never to be
removed from the gym building), a
hair-drying established for the bene-
fit of swimmers; and a kitchen, from
which lunches can be served.

On the main floor are the offices
of the physical directors and the
college doctor, rest rooms and
physical examination rooms; a
main gymnasium floor, 70x90 feet, on
which two games, of basketball, for
instance, can be played at once; and,
on one end of the story, a smaller
gymnasium floor, raised three and a
half feet. The raised floor can be
converted into a stage by means of
movable foot-lights, and the main
floor into an auditorium, with the use
of folding chairs which are stored
under the raised floor.

The third floor will consist only of
a balcony, seating two hundred and
seventy people, and six rooms for col-
lege organizations, on one side; and,
on the other side, of a room where
lights can be shifted upon the stage
below.

Such is a brief outline of the first
building of our Greater Agnes Scott.
It is to be hoped that, as the build-
ing rises, sufficient interest will be
aroused in it to secure the funds nec-
essary for completing the building en-
tirely by next September.

| MISS GOOCH READ “SAINT JOAN”
FOR ATLANTA DRAMA
LEAGUE

Miss Gooch read Bernard Shaw’s
Saint Joan before the Drama League
in the ballroom of the Biltmore, Tues-
day evening, November twenty-fifth.

With her usual grace and dignity,
Miss Gooch presented the reading of
this play, and charmed her audience
as she has done many times previous-
ly. ‘

At the regular meeting of Black-
friars on Friday before the meeting
of the Drama League, Miss Gooch
read “Saint Joan,” and the members
were delighted with her interpretation
of the play.

Last year Miss Gooch read “Rob-
ert E. Lee,” and this reading with va-
rious others assured Miss Gooch’s
ability and reputation.

VIRGINIA CLUB HOLDS MEETING

Mary Junkin and Ruth Thomas en-
tertained the Virginia Club at its
monthly meeting on Friday, Novem-
ber 21, in Mr. Dieckmann’s studio.
The meeting was chiefly one of pleas-
ure rather than business.

Pocahontas
Wight read a monologue of her own
composition, “The Mountain Woman.”
Both through presentation and au-
thorship, Pokie “did herself proud,”
which isn’t a meager phrase in praise.

Miss McKinney then told the club
of her trip to Richmond, Va., and
Charlotte, N. C. Miss McKinney was
invited to come to Charlotte by the
Agnes Scott Alumnae of that city,
to investigate forming an Alumnae
association there. She told of her de-
lightful meetings with the old Agnes
Scott girls. Though nothing has been
decided as to the founding of the
Alumnae Association in Charlotte,
definite steps will probably be taken
in the near future. There is already
such an organization at Richmond.

After the serving of delightful re-
freshments, the meeting was ad-
journed.

DR. PETERS LECTURES AGAIN

South European, finally came togeth-
er, and the result of their mingling
we find in the home life of our own
South today. It is the duty of the
South to preserve this kind of home

came the Industrial Revolution;” and
it is this,’ said Dr. Peters, “which
brought you to college.” Woman was
no longer called on to make cloth,
to spend all day over a hot stove, to
wash by hand the family clothes;
machinery, gas, electricity did all all
these. Woman was left to ‘“eisure
and conspicuous expenditure,” and for
her amusement she invented “styles.”
Next came the doctors, and decreased
mortality, lessened the size of the
family. And the school stretched out
a compelling hand, and took the child
away from home. Woman was left
without housework, without a large
family, and separated from even the
few children she had, from the kin-
dergarten age on. “And she has de-
cided,” continued Dr. Peters, “that
she doesn’t want to stay at home.”
So today she is looking for oppor-
tunities of work. ‘Women’s jobs to-
day are the same as they have been
through all ages, but they are spe-
cialized, not to the family, but to the
community.”

In the concluding speech of the
series which she has ‘been making

since October the thirtieth, Dr.
Peters praised Agnes Scott very
highly. In telling why Vocational

Guidance had not been established at
this college, “the light of the South-
east,” she said that Agnes Scott has
been furnishing the best teachers to
the South and holding up that stan-
dard of high scholarship which other
Southern colleges are now trying to
attain.

Dr. Peters continued that it is hard
for colleges to realize that graduates
need recommendations other than
those from the faculty. There are
so many things that teachers do not
know, and can not know about the
students. A way of surmounting this

difficulty, which the Vocational

Guidance Board advocates, is the trial
method. Graduates are given simpli-
fied occupations under supervision the
the first year, and all of their quali-
ties discovered and taken into consid-
eration in giving recommendations.
This is proving very successful in the
great research laboratories and de-
partment stores of the north.

Dr. Peters related several personal
experiences regarding the trials and
tribulations encountered by the “Vo-
cational guiders” in striving to place
girls where they are best suited. She
made us realize how many and how
slight are the factors which go to
make for success or failure in any
given case.

The women in college now, she
pointed out, should be very grateful
for the opportunities in all fields of
service which are made possible for
them by the hard struggles of past
generations of college women. One
of the greatest assets which we can
acquire, Dr. Peters concludde, is the
professional point of view. This
means knowing why a thing goes
right, and what to do when it goes
wrong.

As a result of Dr. Peters’ visit, our
college has taken statistics of the oc-
cupations in which our graduates of
22 and ’23 are now engaged. Reports

were obtained on all but one girl and

the results are as follows:

Out of 122 graduates for ’22 and ’23.

59% teaching.

21% married.

10% doing graduate work.

16% in business.

7% in social or religious work.

7% at leisure.

Dr. Peters accounts for our large
per cent of teachers by pointing out
that teaching is perhaps the best paid
job that a graduate can obtain, at
least for the first few years after her
graduation, and that there is a great
need in the south for teachers.

of heaven and hell. Dr. Lilly said
that all through the Bible heaven and
hell are referred to as places and
not conditions. To the inquiry as to
whether we can believe in Christ and
not believe in His divinity, Dr. Lilly
gave an emphatic “no.”

Dr. Lilly discussed in answer to
other questions the Virgin birth and
the place of evolution in religion. He
also declared his belief in a personal
devil and said that throughout the
Bible, the devil is shown to be a per-
son.

Dr. Lilly was very informal in this

cording to his study and imterpreta-

tions. Some felt that this one talk

Students Enjoy the Life at Pine
Lodge

The campers for last week-end had

the most thrilling experience! None

of the crowd had ever been to Pine

Lodge before; all they knew was that

the hut was situated on the south side

of the mountain. The girls left the
ear line and followed the tourists to
the trail. Where it began to slope up-
ward they left the path and struck
out to the right about the base of
the massive rock. They wandered
hither and thither, Elizabeth Callen
and Ruth Evans Massangill vieing
with each other as to who could see
the most imaginary huts; huge trees
in the distance and even big boulders
would be mistaken for the cherished
lodge.

Finally, Virginia Browning gave a
war-whoop, “This way, girls, I see the
camp.” Everyone rushed up the side
‘of a small hill and behold,—there, set
in a landscape of beautiful autumn-
colored trees, was the neatest little
green and white cottage. Surely this
was our Agnes Scott rendezvous.
Someone started on to the porch when
out rushed three poodle dogs. Agnes
Scott was not accustomed to keeping
a menagerie, so this was some one’s
home. Where, oh where, was Pine
Lodge?

Faint of heart and weary of feet
the lost campers trudged onward; and
soon the object of their quest appear-
ed in sight. It was a wee little cot-
tage set at the very foot of the moun-
tain. Everyone rushed in; packs were
laid aside, and a fire kindled on the
hearth. Soon night descended and
the candles were lit. Such a cheery
place you’ve never seen.

The evening was spent in toasting
marshmallows nad reading stories.
Sunday morning everyone was up
early; breakfast was cooked; and then
all were away on a tour of explora-
tion about the mountain. The group
climbed to the top and beheld the
view of the surrounding country; then
they descended and completely cir-
ecumseribed the huge structure—the
stone quarry was investigated and the
lakes viewed with exclamations of de-
light.

Night came again and with it the
joy of a hot supper before an open
fire. At last everyone went to bed

only to arise at an early hour and
hasten back to the college.

No. 12

Lecture Association Brings Dr.
James T. Shotwell to Agnes Scott

“Protocol for Specific Settle-
ment of Disputes’ Subject
of Address

According to “Who’s Who” and our
Opinions, too, Agnes Scott was hon-
ored by a singularly great and fam-
ous speaker Monday night, in the
person of Professor James T. Shot-
well of Columbia University. He is
in Atlanta on behalf of the great
Federation of Churches now meet-
ing, and his address here was of the
‘same nature as his lecture before the
Federation in the morning; He is
deeply interested in the Geneva Pro-
toco] to Outlaw War—or as the more
official title goes—The Protocol for
Specific Settlement of International
Disputes; and this furnished the ma-
terial for his recent lectures.

Professor Shotwell is one of the
Most prominent men on Columbia’s
faculty. Aside from his duties in the
History Department there, he is an
important figure in Washington cir-
‘eles as Chairman of the National
Board for Historical Service. As an
international figure, he is best known
in connection with the Peace Confer-
ence group from the United States,
and, later, by his vital interest and
influence in League negotiations, etc.
He was chairman of the American
‘group which drafted a plan for dis-
armament and security for the
League, and was an important factor
in arranging for the present Proto-
¢ol. Although a Canadian by birth,
he has long served the United States
in several invaluable capacities. The
Lecture Association was more than
fortunate in securing him during his
‘short stay in Atlanta.

Beyond this we can say no more,

Day Students Present
Musical Comedy At
Egleston Hall

“The String "Em Girl’ Again
Successfully Presented

Egleston Hall was the scene of
much festivity on Wednesday eve-
ning, December 3rd, as on that eve-
ning the Day Students again pre-
sented their musical comedy, “The
String "Em Girl.” Impossible as it
May seem, the actresses rendered
their parts even more admirably than
they had previously. The chorus was
exceptionally good, and received
many encores, singing and dancing
in a charming manner that was a de-
light to all the audience.

The different types of flappers of
the periods of 1875, 1900 and 1924,
portrayed by Rosalie Wooten, Vir-
ginia Hollingsworth and Kitty John-
son, respectively, again showed the
ways in which our grandmothers and
mothers are not so greatly different
after all from the modern girl in
their playful enjoyment of many mas-
Culine friends. But after all, when
“Mr. Right” finally came along, they
all showed no hesitancy in their re-
sponse. “Girls will be girls’”—no
matter in what age they live.

All the cast deserves credit for
their able characterizations and their
almost professional way in which
they forgot themselves in their roles.
There was no stage fright or nerv-
ousness, but all acted with a rare de-
gree of ease and ability. Those be-
hind the scene rarely receive the ap-
preciation they deserve, and special
praise should go to Elizabeth Chap-
man and Mary Knox for their
achievement in the scenic effects, to
Grace Zachry for her delightful
music rendered. Needless to say, the

“The Conflict”
Presented Before
College Community

Play Arouses Enthusiasm
Among Students

After the presentation on Decem-
6 of “The Conflict” by the cast
chosen to represent Agnes Scott in
the intercollegiate contest at North-
western University from December
30 to January 1, the Agnes Scott
students were enthusiastic in their
praise of the excellent work done by
Blackfriars.

This one-act play, “The Conflict,”
by Clarice Vallette McCauley, tells of
the struggle a young girl has to
make in order to express her indi-
viduality and to be true to her own
ideals against the stern opposition
of her distrusting and unsympathetic
mother, who uncompromisingly points
out the girl's duty to her. This young
girl, whose sense of duty has already
made her victorious over her love for
a certain married man and determin-
ed her to go to another city than the
one she has first intended to go to,
in order to avoid meeting the man,
because of her mother’s lack of faith,
she is forced to go to the city where
her lover awaits her arrival. After
the daughter has left, the mother
opens a telegram which shows her
the wrong she has done in suspecting
her child.

The character of Emelie, the eld-
est daughter, was interpreted with
dignity and an earnestness of feel-
ing by Isabel Ferguson. The mother
was also represented with deep feel-
ing and unusual realism by Mary
Ben Wright. Mary Freeman gave
to Bess, the seventeen-year-old
daughter, the natural spontaneity
and gentle grace that are always
characteristic of this talented
member of Blackfriars. Louise Buch-
anan won the hearts of all the au-
dience in her presentation of Bobs,
the vigorous young barefoot boy of
thirteen, who has no higher aim in
life than raising chickens at home.

After seeing this play, we know of

Many Famous Speakers
Present

One of the great events of national |

interest which has taken place very
near us is the meeting of the Federal
Council of Churches, which was held
in Atlanta from December the third
through the tenth.

The purpose of this federation was
to discuss questions of national in-
terest both in the political and the
religious life of the nation. The four
great issues which were considered
were prohibition, the Japanese ques-
tion, war and the world league.

Besides representatives from all of
the churches of the United States,
there were foreign delegates. Dr. A.
K. Reischauer of Tokio was the of-
ficial representative of the National
Christian Council of Japan; Sir Wil-
loughby Dickinson of ‘London repre-

Churches; Dr. H. C. Tucker of Rio de

Davidson Glee Club At\Cast to Present the
Agnes Scott Dec. 13

“Music, Mirth and Melody”

Feature Program

The Davidson College Glee Club
made up of thirty of the South’s best
collegiate musicians, trained by Mrs.
Coral H. Baker, of Charlotte, who is
director of the Carolina Concert Com-
pany, will breeze into Decatur, Decem-
ber 13th, to present one of the best
college glee club programs undertaken
by any Southern college club. “Look
out girls, the Wildcat Glee Club from
old D. C. is coming.”

Every kind of music known to man,
including jazzy numbers, popular mu-
sic, comical! selections, and classical
offerings will be presented. There is
plenty of variety in the club. The
jazz orchestra, the two quartets, the
chorus, and the symphony orchestra
as well as the solos all delightfully
arranged and intermingled, will fur-
nish an evening of real entertainment
and enjoyment.

The symphony orchestra, an organi-
zation of eleven pieces, is without a
doubt a very unusual college orches-
tra. Such selections as the “Anvil
Chorus,” and other classical numbers
will be rendered. This orchestra is
composed of two cornets, four violins,
a base violin, a clarinet, drums and
piano.

“Between halves” we have Will and
Willhelm Kaiser, who will entertain
with guitar and banjo, and who will
also sing several old negro songs to
the accompaniment of their instru-
ments. These boys really know how
it’s done, and are well worth hearing.

Last year’s black faced comedian,
Mr. A. M. Martin, is the president of
the club this year; and he will sing a
comical solo, entitled, “The Interrupt-
ed Serenade.”

Several operatic selections will be
offered by the chorus, among which
are: “The Joy of the Hunter,” from
“Der Freischutz,” and “The Bandit
Song,” from “Ernani.”

The jazz orchestra of seven pieces
is a “Humdinger.” Of all the jazz
music you’ve ever heard, the music
produced by this organization is best.
One of the best jazz piano players
anywhere, with two saxophones, two
cornets, a tenor banjo, and a drum
outfit, comprises this Wildcat jazz
machine.

If you want to hear some real har-
mony, be at the auditorium December
18th and hear the “Krazy Kracker
Kuartet,” from Georgia. The “Krazy
Kracker Kuartet” is composed of four
Georgia boys, D. T. Wilson, Atlanta,
second bass; Robt. S. Lowrance, Jr.
Atlanta, first bass; A. M. Martin, Sa-
vannah, second ‘tenor; and M. M.
Lockhart, Jr., Decatur, first tenor.

At Northwestern Chosen

Meeting of Classical

Club Friday Night

“Lecoppia” Latin Play
Presented

The Classical Club had a most in-
teresting meeting in the Propylean
Hall on Friday night immediately aft-
er prayers, The program began with
the singing of several Latin songs.
“Lecoppia” an historical play which
represents the first recorded instance
of women taking part in public af-
fairs was presented. The setting of
the play was given by Mary Palmer
Caldwell, and tae came the play it-
self,

The Lecoppia was a law which pre-
vented women from wearing more
than half an ounee of gold, from
wearing colored garments, and from
riding in chariots. The law was made
during the second Punic War, when
it was necessary for the state to prac-
tice the strictest economy. In later
years there was no real need for the
law, but it was enforced by Cato, who
emphatically rejected the petition for
its repeal. The two Bruti, Marcus
Junius and Titus Junius, stood for the
enforcement of the law, while Valer-
ius and Flavius desired its repeal.

The play opens with a scene be-
tween Valerius and Flavia his wife.
Flavia insists. that the law be repeal-
ed and her husband says that it is
easier to face the displeasure of the
Senate than the anger of his wife.
The second scene is in the Forum
where the women meet the senators
and plead earnestly for the repeal of
the law, but Cato is strongly opposed
and after-a discctsion in the senate
the measure for its repeal is vetoed.
The women become infuriated and
the next scene shows the house of the
tribunes visited by a mob of
threatening women. In the final is-
sue the law is repealed and the wo-
men triumph.

The play was decidedly entertain-
ing, and the actors were spirited in
the interpretation of their roles.
Flavia, the leader of the women, per-
formed her part with unusual zest and
vim. Aside from the abilities of the

cember 30th, 1924, through January
Ist, 1925. The cast consists of only
four girls, and these, representing
some of the club’s best material, will
uphold the honor of Agnes Scott in
Blackfriars’ first testing of her wings
“abroad.”

The final selection of characters
was made last Wednesday evening
from the three preliminary casts pre-
viously chosen and trained by Miss
Gooch. Individual interpretation and
not that of the cast as a whole was
taken into consideration; that is, the
four best individual players and not
the one best cast, were chosen. Miss
Gooch asked to be present at the try-
outs a committee of the faculty com-
posed of Miss Alexander, Miss Laney,
Miss McKinney, Miss Lewis, Miss
Horn, Mr. Stukes and Mr. Johnson; .
and, also, alumnae members of Black-
friars living in Otlanta or Decatur,
Miss Phythian, Miss Louise Ware,
Miss Polly Stone, Miss Nell Buchanan,
and Miss Frances Amis. All these
testified their opinions by vote; but
the final decision was left entirely
in the hands of Miss Gooch.

It was no easy matter to choose the
four best from the twelve players.
“The Conflict” having very little ac-
tion, is a rather hard play to act,
at best, and every one playing it, as
well as all twelve of our girls did,
must have fairly good dramatic
ability.

The cast, accompanied by Miss

Cincinnati Symphony
Orchestra To Be In
Atlanta Dec. 11

Second Number in Concert
Series Famous Orchestra

An item of special interest to Agnes
Scott girls is the announcement of
the two concerts which will be given
under the auspices of the Atlanta Mu-
sic Club by the Cincinnati Sym-
phony Orchestra the afternoon and
evening of December 11. It is a great
opportunity to lovers of music to have
the advantage of hearing this great
orchestra whose ensemble is so nearly
flawless.

The organization is composed of
eighty exceedingly skilled musicians,
and the solo instrumentalists are tal-
ented and accomplished artists. Un-
der the leadership of Fritz Reiner the
orchestra has reached a top ring in
the ladder of perfection and is said to
be in “magnificent condition, flexible,
co-ordinated, tonally rounded, and
dynamically smooth.

In the afternoon the program has
been arranged for the children, under
the personal supervision of Mr. Rein- -
er and is composed almost entirely
of numbers included in the school
memory contest of this season, An ad-
dition to these will be March
Militaire of Schubert; overture
to “William Tell,” Rossini; Barcarolle
from “Tales of Hoffman,” Offen-
bach; selections from the Nut Cracker

suite, Tschaikowsky; “To a Wild
Rose” by MacDowell, arranged for
orchestra by Victor Herbert; and

selections from Peer Gynt Sinte, by
Grieg.

The outstanding feature of the eve-
ning program is the Cesar Franck
Symphony which with the two con-
cluding numbers will be given at the
request of the officials of the Music
Club.

The Agonistic takes pleasure in offering to you the Hopkins
article on “College Education’’:

“T would seriously submit for undergraduates’ consideration
the question whether from the point of view of their own ultimate
good, there has not been a too complete disappearance, from the
college curriculum and from college life, of compulsion and of
requirements, rigorous, and even irksome, if you will, which
temper the mind and test the soul of men. The great reservation
which an anxious world feels today in regard to college men is not
in regard to their culture or their social polish, but in regard to
their stamina—mental, moral and spiritual!

In consideration of this point, I would, however, urge that we
be nice in our interpretation of the word “hardness”. It should
not be confused with roughness or coarseness, which some seem
to believe are necessary concomitants of strength .... The
distinguished president of a great New England university
has said that if he were to accept the opinions of some of his
college friends in regard to what constitutes manhood he would be
forced to the conclusion that “red blood” does not pass through
the brain. Surely, it is among college men in particular that we
ought to be able to assume exemplification of the truth that
strength is not incompatible with intelligence and that both are
largely enhanced in worth when combined with sweetness of
character and gentleness of demeanor.”

STUDENT LIFE IN CZECHO-
SLOVAKIA.

“The students are in town.” And
I began looking for the soft black
hats, black ties and frock coats that
some one told me characterized many
of the men students of the Univer-
sity in Prague. I did find a few
flowing ties, a number of broad-
brimmed hats set jauntily over long-
ish hair, but I soon gave up the
idea that they all dressed in that
fashion. The far more usual uni-
form, or distinguishing dress of a
student was the one of almost uni-
versal necessity—parts of old uni-
forms, made as neat and presenta-
ble as possible, but nevertheless con-
stant reminders of the late war and
the part that these young men had
played in it as soldiers in a hostile
army. If indeed the students of this
part of the world were susceptible
to the fads of dress that sweep our
country from end to end, so that a
station full of returning students, as
I saw them at Grand Central at
Thanksgiving, is an animated adver-
tisement for fur coats of the same
length, Deauville neckerchiefs, and
properly squashed felt hats, they
would have hard lessons fin econ-
omy, for it is a problem to cover
oneself at all, let alone gaudily and
gaily.

Yes, the students were in town,
and within a few months of my stay
in Ozecho-Slovakia I knew it well
enough. The first acute awareness
was because of the death of several
from starvation. From that time
on, student life at the University of
Prague came to mean more than
what a student does with his time
while being a student; it meant
something far different than his ath-
letics, his examinations, his social
life, his college spirit. Student life
came to carry an apostrophe “s,” and
the implication was how to save it.

It must be that the spirits of Co-
menius and Hus and other learned
men and heroes of the little nation

of Czecho-Slovakia still find their
way about the old town of Prague
and blow their living breath of de-
sire to know into the students who
come to this place for knowledge.
Otherwise it is hard to believe that
a student finds within himself the
strength to go through with his
courses. A few dry facts to prove
this:

The enrollment in the University
of Prague is at present about 30,000.
That number includes 5,000 students
at the German university, about 3,-
000 Russians and Ukrainians at the
recently-formed free university for
refugee students, mostly of these
two nationalities; 3,000 are from
Jugo-Slavia. Prague today is the
greatest Slav student center in the
world and almost any language can
be heard among this group of men
and women. It has always been a
great university, the third oldest in
the world, so that in the present edu-
cational crisis among Slav nations,
Prague has to hold her head high
and her arms wide or thousands of
students who are so necessary to the
leadership of their different coun-
tries will be with no place to con-
tinue their work, and learning will
stand in a fine way of being at a
premium in all of the Slav territory.
Classes are vastly overcrowded; a
law student told me he was lucky
to be able to get into a lecture room
once a week, All of his other work
had to be done by himself against
looming examinations.

Imagine studying for a difficult
technical course at a university
whose language you spoke imperfect-
ly, or not at all, from a book writ-
ten in still a third language! In
other words, if you are a Serb or
a Russian, you study at a Czech uni-
versity from (most probably) a text-
book written in German, that is, if
by great and glorious good luck you
are able to beg, borrow or steal a
book at all. The greatest pleas of
the Russian refugee students were
for text-books and drawing materials.

WORLD FELLOWSHIP
COMMITTEE.

Agnes Scott girls, who are anxi-
ous to have their Alma Mater gain
all possible recognition, will be deep-
ly interested in the struggles of the
girls’ school in Kwangju, Korea. This
school is very anxious to be recog-
nized as a standard high school by
the Japanese government. Unless it
can obtain new equipment and more
highly trained teachers, the govern-
ment will not give it a place with
Japanese high schools.

On December 14, next Sunday, the
Southern Presbyterian Church is
asking for a special contribution to
this school. We want to help as much
as we can in giving Korean girls a
chance for Christian education, in
gaining more recognition for a sister
school, and in aiding that work in
which our own Miss Winn is en-
gaged. Although she is in another
station, the school touches her, too.
Let us do something next Sunday.

DR. AND MRS. GOOD ENTER-
TAIN AT AFTERNOON TEA

Dr. and Mrs. Good entertained Wed-
nesday afternoon with a tea in honor
of Dr. Good’s advisees and some of
the other college girls who were lucky
enough to get an “invite.” Dr. Good
was just the life of the party and
kept everybody laughing all the time.
The afternoon was spent in meeting
new girls and hearing and telling
“family histories.” Dr. Good cut two
big cakes and Mrs. Good served some
grand punch. Everybody had just
lots and lots of fun and food and en-
joyed the afternoon very much.

COLLEGE

Foremost Authority on Islam Speaks
on “Mohammedanism as World
Problem”

Dr. S. M. Zwemer,
America’s foremost authorities on
Mohammedanism, gave a very en-
lightening lecture on that subject in
chapel on Saturday morning. To those
who have looked to the newspapers
for information concerning world
movements and have followed the
trend of world affairs toward conser-
vatism as evidenced in the recent elec-
tions in both England and the United
States, Dr. Zwemer’s statement that
Mohammedanism is undoubtedly one
of the great world problems, was rath-
er startling. Since there are so few
followers of Mohammed in the South,
we have not realized the menace of
their religion to other countries where
Islam is more prevalent. None of
our Southern churches have sent mis-
sionaries to these countries.

Like Commercialism, Judaism and
Bolshevism, Mohammedanism belongs
to the Near East. It extends from
Northern India to Spain, from South-
ern Russia to Central Africa. There
are 586,000 Mohammedans in the Phil-
ippines, 12,000,000 in China; while five
sixths of the population of Central
and Western Asia, Persia, Turkey, and
Palestine bow in homage to Allah and
Mohammed. In India and Africa
where Islam has the greatest hold,
there are 69,500,000 and 59,000 Mo-
hammedans, respectively; in Europe
there are 17,000,000. Lastly, in North
America, there are 11,000. Such a
great spread of Islamism is undoubt-
edly due to the zeal of their preach-
ers, newspapers, missionaries, and
propaganda. A monthly newspaper,
“The Moslem Sunrise” is edited in
Chicago and calls itself the one light
shining through the darkness of Am-
erica,

Quite significant is the fact that
Mohammedanism undoubtedly knits its
followers together more closely than
Judaism or Christianity. Islam is a
church state and not a state church.
Therefore it presents a political pro-
blem. Nothing should belong to the
state; the church should have every-
thing. France and England are facing
such problems in their Mohammedan
colonies as banking, and_ slavery
which in the eyes of Islamism is per-
fectly justifiable.

The greater problem, however, is
the social problem, They would ad-
here to strict puritanism to the point
of letting music and art perish; yet
they practice polygamy to an appall-
ing degree. Mohammed was a great
poet and warrior, but misunderstood
the position of woman. The three

who is one of

he said, are: in war, in a quarrel,
and to a woman, A Persian poet aptly
describes the position of the Mo-
hammedan woman:

“Less than the dust beneath thy
chariot wheels,

Less than the rust that never stained
thy sword,

Less than the trust thou hast in me,
my lord,

Less than all these am I.”

Mohammedanism appeals most to
the uneducated classes of people. The
more highly intelligent of them are
abandoning it and this brings the
great problem of Christianity. 97 per
cent of the Mohammedans are defec-
tives, delinquents, and dependents;
96 per cent of the men are illiterate;
while 99 1-3 per cent of the women
are illiterate. Superstition prevails
in proportion to illiteracy, and infant
mortality in proportion to supersti-
tion. 80 per cent of the children die
in infancy. Mohammedanism re-
sembles. Christianity just as a bottle
of rose-water in a costly bottle re-
sembles a living spring.

Dr. Zwemer says there are very few
missionaries in Mohammedan coun-
tries. His talk convinced us of the
great need for more and made us
wish very much that we all could do
something to help towards solving
these problems.

MEETING OF BLACKFRIARS

“The Conflict” Presented

A special meeting of Blackfriars
was held Friday, November 28, for
the purpose of giving the members
a chance to hear a reading of the
“Conflict,” the play to be given at
Northwestern University, before it
was presented to the college commun-
ity. The reading of the play was
thoroughly enjoyed by all those pres-
ent. The cast was composed of
Georgia Mae Little, Mary Anne Me-
Kinney, Eloise Harris and Louise
Buchanan.

The “Conflict” was given for the
college community Saturday night by
the cast that is to play at Evanston
during the Christmas holidays. This
east was chosen from three prelimi-
nary casts who practiced the play
and tried out before Miss Gooch and
members of the faculty and alumnae
Wednesday night.

All Agnes Scott is wishing the
players success on their trip, and is
expecting them to surpass the other
colleges with their interpretation of
the play and with their acting. And,
of course, we all hope that the lucky
ones will have a marvelous time and
will have lots to tell us when we meet
again after Christmas.

Its just NINE more days till we go
home for Christmas!! “What could be
sweeter?”—as Margaret Hyatt would
say. No-s-ir! Nothing could, Giddy,
don’t you realize that I’m going to see
mother and daddy and Jack and Paul
and Betty and Jo and Peggy and you?
How I'll ever live thru 27 classes be-
fore then I don’t know.

I guess I'll have to work off my
energy playing basketball and doing
my Christmas shopping—which I
must “do early” at “our advertisers”
as the bulletin board says. That is
the best thing to do tho—don’t you
think ?

Oh—but talking about basketball
guess what one of the seniors told
me! Did I ever write you ’bout Liz
Blalock? (her real name is Elizabeth
but nobody knows it—'cept the teach-
ers). Well she’s fire chief—I’ll ’splain
that to you later—and now she’s
something. The senior that told me
about it said it (the thing she is)
was something that everybody in the
senior class wanted to be and that ev-
ery year there was lots and lots of
politicking (I didn’t understand that)
done for the place and that it was
very much coveted and only people
that had excellent scholastic attain-
ment and popularity could get it. It’s
manager of the Senior basketball
team. I’d thought maybe I’d be the
freshman one but now I know I can’t
ever—unless I get to be as smart and
all as Liz. I think Belle Walker was
the one that did most of it tho’.

I’ve been restricted this week and
couldn’t go to town to get any
Christmas cards or anything but more
freshmen have been going than a lit-
tle, ’specially Mary Perkinson. And I
think Virginia Norris must have been
restricted too, because I heard a girl

laughed but I couldn’t see a thing
funny about that, do you? I think it’s
real sweet of Mary to do it—and I
know Virginia does.

Giddy, you know how I’m always
getting my words tangled or twisted
up—or using the wrong one? Well
I’ve found somebody who’s as bad as
I am. It’s Hulda McNeel. Tonight
at prayers she was sitting right be-
hind me and she leaned over and ask-
ed me why more people were not in
the chapel. I said I spec it was be-
cause of the special turkey dinner in
the tea room, Then Hulda asked “who
went?” Of course, I didn’t know any
special somebody so I said, “Oh ey-
erybody that’s not here I guess,”
And then she said “Dumbbell! I
meant for you to be more pacific.”

And then cause I laughed she near-
ly pulled my hair out by the roots
and you know how tender-headed I
am.

Not to change the subject, but did
you know that we’re going to have a
new gym, Giddy? Well, we are.
They’ve got all the plans and every-
thing—’cept enough money to put up
a stage and install a swimming pool
with. Wouldn’t it be nice if some nice
real rich man—or lady—would do-
nate enough money to do it? Why
the pool is the very best part about it
and I think it would be tragic if we
didn’t have it. Maybe somebody ‘ll
find a way to get it erected (or what-
ever you talk about doing to a pool).

I have a miserable test tomorrow
and I haven’t studied but six hours for
it and I must put at least that much
more on it so I must stop. Tests up
here are such momentous occasions.

Alumnae News

The Agnes Seott Alumnae have
taken as their motto and slogan, “A
bigger and better reunion than ever
before!” At commencement this year
the classes of ’95, 1900, ’05, 710, 715,
20, ’22, '24 will hold reunions, More
elaborate plans are being made for
this year than ever before. First there
will be a big parade, each class having
a special costume, Stunts and lunch-
eons have been planned and _ the
alumnae will have tables in the din-
ing room. At this time, the class at
large, those who attended but did not
graduate from Agnes Scott, will or-
ganize and hereafter will hold a re-
union. I think this reunion will be
of as much interest to the students as
to the alumnae.

Lillian McAlpine, class of ’28, is
teaching at Salem College, Winston-
Salem, North Carolina.

Frances Myers is teaching Latin in
Japan.

Josephine Logan, ’23, after a year
with her family in Japan is coming to
Richmond Va., this fall to attend the
General Assembly’s Training School.

Julia Hagood Cuthbertson’s (Mrs.
Reynolds) new house is completed and
she is enjoying it thoroughly. It is
Dutch Colonial, next door to her
mother, and to Coma (Burgess) Clark-
ston, ’22.

Then we have this news from way
back in ’99. Bernice Chivers Smith
(Mrs. Chas. B.) writes that her daugh-
ter is to enter Agnes Scott. She hasa
son at the University of Georgia.

MR. WANNAMAKER
LECTURES ON ITALY

One of the most appreciated speak-
ers brought to us by the Lecture As-
sociation is Professor Wannamaker,
and his stirring address will be re-
membered for a long while as a true
link in the chain of understanding
which is being forged between the
United States and Italy. Last year
Agnes Scott was delighted with an
address by an Italian Princess. Now
we have had opportunity for further
knowledge of Italy from the Ameri-
can point of view; for Mr. Wanna-
maker is in truth the interpreter of
Italy to America. He is the author of
a recently published volume, “With
Italy in Her Final War of Libera-
tion,” a work uniformly praised by
both American and Italian reviewers.

To anyone who heard his lecture, the
result could not but be inspiring. His
first-hand knowledge and sympathetic
insight make his words ring with con-
viction of the real spirit of struggling
Italy.

CHANGE IN DATE OF
CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS

The faculty has recently granted a
petition of the students that the dates
of the Christmas holidays shall be
changed from Wednesday, December
17th, through Thursday, January 1st,
to Thursday, December the 18th,
through Friday, January the 2nd. The
students desired this change so that
it would not be necessary for them to
leave home on New Year’s day, in
order to be back for classes on Jan-
uary 2nd.

The president of Student Govern-
ment explained to the student-body
that, as no standard college can allow
more than fifteen days for Christmas
vacation, and as it is against the pol-
icy of Agnes Scott to set vacation
dates so that students will be obliged
to travel on Sunday, there could be
no change in the holidays unless it
be for vacation to begin on Thursday,
December 18th, and end on January
2nd, instead of beginning on Wednes-
day, the 17th and ending on January
1st. She further stated that the fac-
ulty was willing to make this change
in the holidays in case it should be
the wish of the majority of students.
By means of a standing vote, it was
decided that the holidays should be-
gin on Thursday, December 18th. The
petition was then posted in Main, to
be signed by the students, and pre-
sented to the faculty. There is, how-
ever, one condition attached to this
change in holidays: That every girl
be on her honor to report for classes
on Saturday morning, January the
3rd, and not Monday morning or any
other time, unless she be providential-
ly hindered.

YW GOS,

Last Sunday night, Miss Colton,
who was a teacher at Agnes Scott
thirteen years ago and is now con-
ducting a school in Korea, told us
about the work at her school and
gave us an excellent picture of con-
ditions in Korea now.

First of all, she explained why the
Koreans cannot expected to love the
Japanese, although the Japanese have

given them railroads and other such
improyements: With Germany as
their model, the Japanese forced their
way into Korea and are now domi-
neering the Koreans and the re-
sources of the country, which are
promoted to the profit of the Jap-
anese alone.

Korea is a beautiful country with
its innumerable hills in which clus-
ter group after group of tiny vil-
lages, never one house alone, for they
are banded together for protection
against the Japanese. It is very
hard to teach in these villages be-
cause, for one thing, there are so
few teachers. The missionary is seen
about once a year in each town and
his helper is seen rarely more than
twice. When they are away, there
is no one to lead the meeting except,
perhaps, some old man who can read
or rather drone out a few verses
from the Bible. This, however, is not
interesting to the young people, who
want to hear something new. Girls
from Miss Colton’s school go out as
teachers when they graduate; the
members of a Bible class for boys
also accomplish a great deal in this
line. It is the trained native who is
needed rather than the foreign mis-
sionary.

Another disadvantage in teaching
is caused by the lack of a decent
building in which to teach. The
church is usually a one-room house,
with no windows; in cold weather the
door is kept tightly closed and this
causes the leader a great deal of dis-
comfort. The room is heated by pine
boughs under the floor; these fill the
air with smoke. Squabbles often
arise and interrupt the meeting; the
Koreans leave their shoes at the door
and, as they have to go out very
often, frequently get them mixed up;
the neighbors gather and find out
the cause of the quarrel and the dis-
tracted teacher has hard work get-
ting his congregation back to order.
Whenever another woman enters, she
is greeted fervently and vociferously;
she often walks right up to the
teacher and bids her a good eve-
ning—all this while the teacher is
trying to talk,

The Koreans are eager to learn
but they have a hard time keeping
their minds on one subject for any
length of time.

‘Last year, Miss Colton’s - girls
fasted forty-two times so that their
tiny bowls of rice might be sold to
further the work of the school. These
girls do all their own sewing, wash-
ing and ironing. Besides this, they
must sew to support the girls who
are too young to support themselves.
Yet, in the land of plenty, Miss Col-
ton can find no one who is interested
in giving her school a furnace which
is badly needed at present.

Her talk ended with a plea for aid
from the Agnes Scott girls. She
showed a number of interesting pic-
tures to the girls after her talk and
said that she felt sure that they
would be interested in her school.

MEETING OF PI ALPHA PHI

Pi Alpha Phi met Thursday night,
December 4, The debate was on the
subject: “Resolved, That the short
ballot should be adopted in the Unit-
ed States for the election of public
officials.” The affirmative was up-
held by Eloise Harris and Ellen Wal-
ker; the negative by Mildred Pitner
and Elsa Jacobsen. The decision was
unanimous in favor of the affirma-
tive. The judges were Miss Jackson,
Miss Cole and Miss Brown.

Nevertheless such notoriety is small,

The Athletic Board is planning to
send the names of these able play-

in the “Sportswoman,” a magazine
which is the official athletic publi-
cation of the Northern Women’s Col-
leges. It is also contemplating a
write-up of the Faculty-Student game
as a suitable accompaniment to the
all-star line-up. We may not have
intercollegiate athletics, but that does
not bar recognition along this line.

This year’s varsity is a team
worthy of praise. It is powerful and
it is fleet. Each member uses splen-

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., TUESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1924

Campaign For

Mr. Wanamaker|Seniors of Atlanta

Lectures On Italy

Addresses Agnes Scott On “The
Italy of Today”

One of the most pleasing lecturers
that the Lecture Association has en-
gaged this year was Mr. Wana-
maker who lectured in the college
chapel Tuesday on “The Italy of To-
day.’ Mr. Wanamaker has a pleas-
ing personality; his lecture was per-
meated with humor; and he showed
that he was a master of the sub-
ject.

It is necessary, Mr. Wannamaker
said, to review Italy’s history of the
past hundred years in order to under-
stand the Europe of today. The his-
tory of the [Italian ‘Resurrection,”
1820-1870, when Italy freed herself
from the tyranny of the degraded
house of Hapsburg, was given most
entertainingly. The
challenged to point to any country
which had produced three contem-
poraries greater than the idealist
Mazzini; the warrior Garibaldi, and
the statesman Gabour, who were the
shining lights in Italy’s fight for In-
dependence,

Our respect for Italians was aroused
when Mr. Wanamaker made us fa-
miliar with the long struggle for in-
dependence after centuries of oppres-
sion, which the Italians underwent.
He also showed us what a heroic part
Italy played in the recent war, when
she fought under such odds, that even
generals like Foch doubted if she
could hold her own. We understood
the disappointment of the Italians at
the close of the World war, when he

pointed out that both France and Eng-
land, which were already glutted with
colonies, took all that the enemy was
forced to relinquish, and allowed noth-
ing to Italy, which is sorely in need
of them as a source of raw materials.
This despair was so great that the
majority of Italian workers were will-
ing to listen to the radical socialists,
and a revolution was constantly ex-
pected. The factories were taken over
by the workers, who, unfortunately,

Sh-h-h! The cat is out of the bag.
It was supposed to be kept a secret,
until the very night, but since some
one has disclosed the dark secret, the
faculty has decided that it is just as
well. Here is what is in store for the
students—a Christmas supper—to be
given by the college on Tuesday night,
the sixteenth.

In the past it has been kept a secret.
The transoms were covered, the doors
were locked and the shades were pull-
ed down to exclude the eyes and ears
of all curious passersby.

It has always been a gala occasion.
The dining rooms are beautifully dec-
orated in a true Christmas spirit and
the songs that are sung by the stud-
ents to the faculty, and by the fac-
ulty to the students add to the gay
enthusiasm of the celebration.

All the old girls realize what fun
is in store for them, and the new
girls are waiting in eager anticipation
for our Christmas dinner.

Girls’ High Schools
Entertained By
Smith Alumnae

“Joint Owners In Spain”
Presentéd For Them

e

The Smith Ccellege Alumnae of At-
lanta entertained the senior girls of
the Atlanta High Schools at Agnes
Scott last Saturday, December the
6th. The purpose of the Smith Club
was to stimulate interest in going to
college among this year’s high school
girl graduates. Agnes Scott was chosen
as the place for entertainment so as
to give a glimpze into actual college
life. The girls and the Alumnae,
upon reaching the college, came to
the chapel, where Blackfriars pre-
sented a program for their enjoy-

two delightful readings, and Misses
Ellen Walker, Roberta Winter, Poca-
hontas Wight, and Louisa Duls play-
ed “Joint Owners in Spain,” which
had been presented before the col-
lege community the week before.
After the play, the president of the
Smith Club read answers which had
been given to the question, “Why
did you go to Smith?” The hostesses
and their guests then repaired to the
gymnasuim for refreshments. As
each girl entered the door, she was
given a slip of paper bearing a num-
ber. Three of these numbers were
“lucky” and appropriate prizes were
awarded to the ones receiving those
numbers. The refreshments consist-
ed of delicious ice cream, cake, and
peanuts in favor baskets and an
abundance of it all, too.

Miss Louise Hale, of Agnes Scott
and a graduate of Smith, sponsored
the entertainment at Agnes Scott.

“The Conflict” To Be
Given At Egleston Hall

“Columbine” Will Also Be Given

Tuesday “Blackfriars” will present
“The Conflict” at Egleston Hall in
Atlanta. ‘The renown of this play
and of Agnes Scott’s coming partici-
pation in the contest at Northwestern
University has gone abroad. Atlanta
high school pupils are anxious to see
the play and the nature of the presen-
tation and have invited the cast to
appear at Egleston Hall. At the
same time, Eloise Harris and Polly
Stone will give a short, merry skit
entitled, “Columbine,” by Colin Clem-
ents. We hope that the Atlanta boys
and girls will be so charmed that they
will come to all future entertain-
ments given by our dramatic club.

The cast of “Conflict” is as an-
nounced:

Emelie—The elder daughter of the
house, who has already tested her
wings in a first flight-—Isabel Fer-
guson,

Bess—Seventeen — just beginning
to be aware of the outside world—
Mary Freeman.

Bobs—Thirteen—a vigorous young
animal with no wings to speak of as
yet—Louise Buchanan.

Mother—Guardian of the nest, and
very jealous of the world—where her
brood is concerned. — Mary ‘Ben
Wright.

A crisis has arisen in the history
of Agnes Scott. The all-important
question is: To swim or not to swim?
In other words work has been start-
ed on the long-needed gymnasium, but
funds are lacking for the completion
of the swimming pool and the audi-
torium.

The matter was presented to the
students Saturday morning at chapel.
Miss Randolph explained the situation
which we are facing. When bids were
made for the contract to build the new
gymnaisum, the lowest bid was a good
deal higher than was expected and
also much more than the funds ayvail-
able for the new building. The build-
ing itself could be erected, but cer-
tain features would have to be omit-
ted, the most important of which were
the swimming pool and the stage for
the auditorium. These were the two
things that the students had most de-
sired in the new gymnasium.

The money needed for these two
features can be obtained if the stud-
ents and faculty raise one-third of
the amount needed. $5,000 for the
swimming pool and $2,500 for the au-

ditorium, cr a total of $7,500, must be’

gotten together by the students. For
every dollar raised two more dollars
can be obtained from other sources,
Dr. MeCain, promises. It is not an
easy thing to raise money unless ev-
erybody helps, but if the Hottentots
are 100 per cent behind the move-
ment, they will come out victorious.
The students are not setting a prece-
dent in launching this campaign to
raise money for their Alma Mater, as
we learned from Miss Daisy Frances
Smith in her short talk on “The Re-
lation of the New Gymnasium to a
Greater Agnes Scott.” Way back in

1889, when Agnes Scott was first’!

started the small beginning did not
indicate the wonderful future of the
school. When Agnes Scott had only
sixty-three students (three of whom
were boarders), Colonel Scott had a
vision of the future and made possible
the building of Agnes Scott Hall,
which was one of the best buildings
of its kind in those days. Conditions
did not justify Colonel Scott’s faith,
but look at the Agnes Scott of today!
A college, however, is not a paying
investment, and, in spite of everything
that could be done, there was a yearly
deficit, In 1919 it was clearly realized
that Agnes Scott must have endow-
ment. At that time $25,000 was
raised by the students and faculty.
We, too, are loyal to our Alma Mater;
it is by no means impossible to do
what has been done before. We get
out of anything what we put into it.
If we give love and service to Agnes
Scott, we get in return a warm feel-
ing of possession and pride. In put-
ting this campaign across we shall
prove our love to our college, for we
will be giving of ourselves for her
future.

Louise Buchanan brought us down
to hard tacks about the matter. Shall
we have a pool room at Agnes Scott
that has no swimming pool? That
would be quite a laughable situation
—not to mention the disadvantages.
College spirit demands that we have
a swimming pool in our pool room.
We sing, “We're All for Agnes Scott,”
and we’re all for an Agnes Scott
swimming pool, too. In 1776 our fore-
fathers fought for freedom and inde-
pendence because they felt the urge to
benefit mankind. A definite crisis
has arisen and we too must feel the
urge to benefit the Agnes Scott stud-
ents who are to come. What
is our relation to our college? What
do we mean when we sing, “May thy
strength and thy power ne’er de-
cline”?

We all love Agnes Scott, but, as
Miss Nell Buchanan said, it is not a
thing that we talk about. Our college
ever beckons us on to love and loyal-
ty, but love is not true and real if it
is not backed up by something tangi-
ble. As far as actual money goes, we
are indebted to our college; for she
has paid for a good part of our educa-

Member of Board
of Trustees

Successful Financier For
the College

Mr. Frank Martin Inman has been
a member of our board of trustees
ten years. He succeeded to the place
which his father held on the board
and was immediately elected vice-
chairman of the trustees. He has
also served as chairman of the fi-
nance committee, which is one of the
most important in connection with
the institution. When he became
chairman, the college was $63,000 in
debt and its endowment was $150,000.
During the ten year period of Mr. In-
man’s trusteeship, the college has
got clear of debt, and the endowment
has been increased to the amount of
$850,000. He is also largely respon-
sible for the selection of each invest-
ment. Bankers and other financiers
say that we have the best selection
of bonds of almost any college in the
country. Mr, Inman is very regular
in attendance on the board and is
carrying on finely the excellent work
done by his father.

Mr. Inman was born in Atlanta on
May 5, 1861, and is the son of Samuel
M. and Jennie Dick Inman.
Lamar Knight, in his “History of
Georgia and Georgians,” records Mr.
Samuel Inman as one of the stable,

lanta, and his son, Mr. Frank Inman,

The Davidson College Glee Club,

trained by Mrs. Goral H. Baker, of

joyable program of “music, melody
and mirth” at Agnes Scott, December
13th.

The program was unusually inter-
esting because of the abundance of
classical selections and old favorite
numbers; but enough popular pieces,
comical selections, and jazz were in-
termingled to give plenty of variety.
The choral work was excellent, espec-
ially the shading of voices. The sym-
phony orchestra, composed of eleven

pieces, was one of the best features
of the program and

North Carolina
Club Holds Meeting

Asheville Girls Entertain

The North Carolina Club was de-
lightfully entertained on Friday eve~-
ning, December 5, in Propylean Hall,
by the girls of Asheville, North Caro-
lina. It was an evening of fun, the
gathering being in no sense of the
word a business meeting. Games
indicative of a relapse to childhood
were played in all glee, and riddles
and conundrums were asked.

The presence of Miss MacDougall
for the first time at a North Caro-
lina Club meeting, added much to
the enjoyment of the party. Miss
MacDougall’s home was originally in
Laurenberg, North Carolina, so there
is quite a tie to help bring about
the hope of the club members that
Miss MaéDougall will be a frequent
guest of the club.

Favors, concealing solemn for-
tunes; poppers, developing into hats;
and refreshments were passed
around. The fortunes were read
aloud, and the outcome of the inter-
esting prophecies will be watched
with amusement, and a little suspi-
cion,

“Tt came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old.”

The Christmas season, the glad and happy season, is here
again. In a few days we will be leaving Agnes Scott for home
whether it be far away where we will find snow and ice or South
where we will find flowers blooming, we are going home for
Christmas. It is the happy time of the year, the time of giving.
Have you ever noticed how happy the people look on the streets?
They seem to love the crowds and the push and jam. It is the
spirit of Christmas, happiness. But it is a specially happy time
for college students because it brings a holiday, a time for fun
after three months of work. We have heard much of the C. S.
on the campus, for it is a wonderfully contagious thing, this
Christmas spirit. So as the trunks are packed and the “good-
byes” said the Agonistic wishes to each and every member of the
college community a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year.

STUDENT CAMPAIGN FOR THE GYMNASIUM.

The ideal of every student at Agnes Scott, for numbers of
years, has been to have a new, modern gymnasium. This fall the
gymnasium building was assured to Agnes Scott and work has
been begun. The building is to be one of the best equipped
gymnasiums in the South. But when the bids were in, it was
discovered that the necessary money to complete the swimming
pool and the stage was lacking. So the students have been asked
to raise seven thousand five hundred dollars in order that the
swimming pool and the stage will be completed at the same time
and ready for use by next September.

Have you ever realized how much more you love and value a
thing if you have worked for it? It is specially true in college,
the things you work hardest for are the things you will love the
most. The gymnasium will be one of the most valuable things
we could have on the campus. It will give pleasure and profit
not only to those who are here now but to all the girls who will
be future Agnes Scott students. Won’t you help Agnes Scott who
has done so much for you to finish the gymnasium by helping
to build the swimming pool and stage? Each girl is asked to
pledge as much as she can to this fund, the pledges to be in by
January, 1926. Agnes Scott students have always and do love their
Alma Mater and we know that we will not fail her now. Won't
you do your part?

A FREE SPEECH COLUMN.

The Agonistic wishes to try something new during the second
semester and to do it we need the co-operation of every student.
This new thing is a “Free Speech Column.” Any member of the
college community who has any suggestion or criticism is asked
to write it to be published in the Agonistic. The articles are to
be signed with the name of the writer and her class but if it is
desired the name will be withheld.

In order that there will be no misunderstanding we want to
explain the purpose of this column. We believe that many girls
on the campus have seen little things that would improve the col-
lege; it may be the campus or it may be some organization on
the campus, or some new suggestion that would be valuable. We
believe that many of you have these ideas and we are asking for
constructive criticism and any suggestions you may have to im-
prove any organization or activity on the campus. We do not
want anything like scandal or personal prejudices.

This has been tried in other colleges and was one of the sug-
gestions the Student Government Conference at Vassar gave. It
has proved successful in many colleges and we see no reason why
Agnes Scott should be the exception. However, for it to be suc-
cessful, we must have your co-operation. Won’t each of you co-
operate with us in making this “Free Speech Column” valuable
and helpful to every organization at Agnes Scott?

SANTA CLAUS VISITS AGNES
SCOTT

Y. W. C. A. Sponsors Christmas Tree
for Children

According to custom, Santa Claus
paid his annual visit of two brief
hours: to Agnes Scott last Saturday
afternoon, December 13th. (You see,
dearies, there are so many children
in the world that the good old saint
must come to some of them before
the 25th). When Santa came, the
bare, bleak old gymnasium was
changed, in the twinkle of his jolly
old eye, to a kiddy land of Christmas
joys. Instead of just girls in white
middies and blue bloomers, one saw
a myriad of happy little boys and
girls gazing delightfully at the tall,
tinseled Christmas tree with a wealth
of toys and fruits at its base, or
crowding around Santa Claus, or mer-
rily blowing horns, or watching the
new dolly’s eyes close, or generally
rollicking.

The inhabitants of this “kiddy
land” were really one hundred and
twenty-five youngsters from the mill
districts of Atlanta for whom the
Agnes Scott girls, according to tra-
dition, were giving a Christmas tree.
The Y. W. C. A. sponsored the en-
tertainment and one hundred and
twenty-five college girls acted as
foster mothers for the little boys and
girls, each being responsible for the
presents which her particular child
received.

It is quite interesting to note that
triplets were among the children
present. They belong to the Toney
family and are two girls and a boy,
age five, Helena, Hansell and Harold.

Santa Claus (but sh-h-h, nobody
under sixteen is allowed to read this)
was really Martha Lyn Manly.

POETRY CLUB ADMITS TWO
NEW MEMBERS

Tryouts of Shields and Riviere Ac-
cepted

Poetry Club was delightfully en-
tertained December 9 by Miss Poca-
hontas Wight. The meeting was an
unusually interesting one. Every
member presented a poem, the one
by Miss Bland being especially liked.
The two new members, Mary Riviere
and Sarah Shields, were welcomed
into the circle. Poetry Club is de-
lighted with these two additions,
whose work showed much promise.
Out of four contestants, Mary and
Sarah won the approval of the com-
mittee by means of the following:

ACHIEVEMENT
By Sarah Shields
Dreams
Wistful, fertile fancies,
Children of Desire—
That flit across our minds
When we're alone.
Plans
Gathered, cherished ideas,
Fancies crystallized—
That heart and mind work hand
In hand to frame.
Deeds
Final, hoped-for outcome,
Crowning of success—
A tribute to the one
That builded them,

SENTINELS

By Mary Riviere
Watching, waiting for the morn,
They stand to greet the silent dawn.
Stretching, yearning towards the sky,
Grotesque fingers reaching high,
Silver, sombre in the gleam
Of the pale moon’s snowy beam,
Leafless oaks and greyish pines
Sketch the sky with ghostly lines.

CHRISTMAS, PRESENTS BEING
SOLD ON THE CAMPUS

With articles for Christmas pres-
ents being sold on the campus, and
a new ten-cent store in big Decatur,
there is no need for Agnes Scott
girls to visit Atlanta at all to do
their Christmas shopping. The pres-
ents being sold on the campus are
beautiful as well as useful.

The Grier girls in Sturgis, who are
from China, are selling many beau-
tiful and unique Chinese things, such
as beads, mapkin-holders, slippers,
knick knacks for the neck, table
covers, and many similar gifts,

One girl is selling gfits which
should find a ready market. She is
selling that always acceptable gift,
handkerchiefs. Elizabeth Clark, who
rooms in Main, made these lovely
linen handkerchiefs and then put up
a poster in Main Hall to advertise
them.

Then, of course, the tea room al-
ways has a supply of novel, delight-
ful gifts. These range all the way
from handkerchiefs to adorable hand-
made rag dolls,

So, with all these gifts on the cam-
pus, why the rush for Decatur cars
and Whitehall Street?

NEW GYMNASIUM STARTED

Work has actually started on the
new gym! If you don’t believe it,
just take a look at the hockey field.
The entire east end of the field is
plowed up, and five teams of horses
are daily making the space broader
and deeper. Even the place where
the swimming pool is to be can be
seen, and is already some six feet
deep. This pool is to be regulation
size, so that next year standard
aquatic contests can be held.

A work-house has been erected right
back of Science Hall, and building
materials are being brought together.
When we return after Christmas,
foundations will probably have been
laid, and before the opening of school
next fall, we will really have a fine

new gym.
MEETING OF PI ALPHA PHI

The last meeting of the Pi Alpha
Phi before the holidays was called
by the president, Ellen Walker, on
Friday night, December 12. At this
time the subject for the intercol-
legiate debate, which is: Resolved,
That the Johnson Immigration Bill
Is for the Best Interest of the United
States, was debated for the first
time.

The affirmative was supported by
Ellen Douglas Leyburn and Olivia
Swann, and the negative by Eliza-
beth Henderson and Catherine
Graeber.

The decision of the judges was ren-
dered in favor of

The next debate will be on Janu-
ary 8, 1925, and will be on a phase
of the intercollegiate question: Re-
solved, That the Selective Immigra-
tion Act of 1924 Is for the Best In-
terests of the U. S. from the Point
of Labor.

Kansas State—“Fancy Free.”
University of North Carolina—*The

Will o’ the Wisp.”

University of Michigan—‘A Sunny

Morning.”

Agnes Scott will play Wednesday
afternoon, December 31st, at 3:15
o’clock, the players being Isabel Fer-
guson, Mary Ben Wright, Louise
Buchanan, and Mary Freeman.

The Carnegie Library at Georgia
Tech, acting on suggestions of the
Commerce Department, has set aside
a certain section to form a business

library. Books on Accounting, Mar-
keting, Insurance and Real Estate are
included in the selection.

The New Student News Service is
our authority for the following:

Above the smoke and cinders of
Pittsburg will rise the tallest uni-
versity in the world. According to
a report by John G. Bowman, chancel-
lor of the University of Pittsburg,
the proposed “Cathedral of learning”
will do its skyseraping from a vantage
point of 52 stories, which celestial
privilege will cost the trustees and
alumni about $10,000,000. The new
home of the University of Pittsburg,
planned to accommodate 12,000 will
tower 680 feet, and will be equipped
with 16 high-speed elevators. It is
reported that professors have all sign-
ed a pledge not to drop students from
class-rooms.

the “Forum.” The purpose of this
column is to voice the sentiment of
the student body on all subjects. It
is devoted exclusively to comments
from students on phases of college
life. All contributions, whether com-
mending or condemning college acti-
vities, will be published.

With the close of the football sea-
son, most of the colleges have
turned their attention toward debat-
ing. Mercer teams are scheduled to
encounter five colleges—Florida, Au-
burn, Oglethorpe, Georgia Tech, and
Alabama. Emory University begins its
clash of wits this week with David-
son. Randolph-Macon and _ Sophie-
Newcomb are scheduled for the regu-

who are beginning work along this
line, have not as yet made public their
schedules.

The Georgia Tech Dramatic Club,
the Marionettes, presented “Duley,”
a comedy in three acts, on December
12th and 13th in the Atlanta Woman’s
Club auditorium. “Duley” written by
George S. Kaufman and Mack Con-
nelly, is considered the club’s great-
est success. The Marionette orches-
tra played between acts. The elab-
orate costuming and an all-star cast
made the performance excellent.

For the past few weeks the hearts
of all the girls have been full of the
thought of the holidays and home. The
dining room has rung with our vaca-
tion song for weeks; and chapel serv-
ices and prayers have taken on a new
meaning because of the Christmas
carols.

The culmination of all this holiday
spirit, with the exception that going
home is the real culmination, came
on Saturday and Sunday with the
two Christmases that we had here at
school. The first was our tree for
the little poor children; this has been
discussed elsewhere.

The second was our White Christ-
mas service held Sunday at Y. W.

This is always a beautiful service,
and one which fills the hearts of all
with a reverence for the meaning of
Christmas.

The electric lights were out and
candles were placed in each window,

He is now a member of the cotton

Mr. Inman also invested in other in-
terests, becoming treasurer of the Al-
dora Mills, of Barnesville, Ga., and
of the Blount Carriage and Buggy
Company of Atlanta. Since his fa-
ther’s death, he has been a director
of the Atlanta & Lowry National

casting a mellow glow over the entire
chapel, and seeming to reach out into
the darkness, extending the warm
hand of Christian love and fellowship
to all within reach.

The stage had a beautiful white
Christmas tree m the center, and near
by was a candelabra holding seven
candles. Everything carried out the
idea of the white Christmas. Even
the girls in the choir were dressed in
white, as well as those who led the
service.

It was a beautiful service, which we
may take with us all through the holi-
days. We sang Christmas carols;
and there was special Christmas mu-
sic by the choir. Then Mary Ann
McKinney read the story of “The
Other Wise Man” by Van Dyke. We
all know this beautiful story, but it is
one which will never grow old.

With the two Christmases which we
have had we should all be in a mood
for the holidays and the Y. W. C. A.

best wishes for the happiest Christ-
mas you have ever had.

MR. WANAMAKER LECTURES
ON ITALY

(Continued from Page 1, Column 1)

could not run them. Then Mussolini,
who had urged this very action, or-
ganized the Facisti to counterbalance
it. Mr. Wanamaker does not think
very much of the Facisti. He believes
that in time Italy would have emerg-
ed from the state she was in and
would have been on a much more
solid foundation than now had it not
been for the Facisti. He pointed out
the fact that Mussolini is absolute dic-
tator of Italy, that freedom of speech
in freedom loving Italy is no longer
tolerated, and that numerous outrages
are committed under cover of the
Facisti. The lesson which he left with
us is that America can profit by
Italy’s example and no have to un-
dergo the suffering which Italy is
now experiencing,

One of the outstanding illusions
which was dispelled in the course of
the lecture was that of the undesira-
bility of Italian immigrants. After
the long period of oppression, it is
remarkable that Italians were able to
accomplish as much as they did.
Thousands of the most desirable citi-
zens were executed at that time in
the past, and time must be given now
for Italy to recuperate. Nevertheless,
during the Resurrection period and the
Great War, the Italians evinced re-
markable heroism. In times of peace,
despite the fact that both the ma-
terials out of which articles are manu-
factured and the power used in their
manufacture have to be imported; de-
spite the fact that shipments have to
be made through foreign marines, the
Italian products compete successful-
ly in foreign markets with articles
produced under every advantage.
What is making the Italian win is his
great brain.

After the lecture, a reception was
given in the lobby of Rebecca Scott
Hall for Mr. Wanamaker, to which
the college community and visitors
were invited. Those who had the
pleasure of meeting him found that he
is even more delightful in social inter-
course than on the platform.

“No girl,” says the rule of a cer-
tain co-ed college, “must walk the
campus after dark, unless going to the
library or to lectures, or for purposes
of learning.” We don’t see where this
rule is a rule at all.

Why it almost scares
me when I think about it; and I’ve
got so much to tell you I just don’t
know where to begin.

I told you about the gym going to

ready started it—that is digging up
the hockey field

to get ready for
They’ve built a tool
house kinda back of the Science Hall
and the other day when we were go-
ing to have Algebra—one of the girls
—I won’t tell you who ’cause it might
embarrass her—looked out of the win-
dow and saw it and said, “Oh—is that
all the bigger the gym is going to
be?” I never have laughed so much.

They told us some more about it be-
ing built in chapel the other morning

and they’re not going to be able to
have a swimming pool unless they
have at least $5,000 more, so we—all
of us students and faculty and all are
going to get it up some way—by hook
or by crook or somehow. It won’t be
very hard to get somebody at home
to give me 5 or 10 dollars, and then
you see I can make some next sum-
mer. Won’t it be nice to think next
year when you go in swimming that
you helped to build it—no matter how
little you gave?

Guess what Laura Frances South-
gate did the other day? She’s a
freshman who lives over in Inman—
and she eats in the white house dining
room. She was at the table one day
and she saw everybody had a napkin
but herself so she called John, the
headwaiter, and asked him to please
bring her a napkin. You see down
here we all have our own napkins and
she didn’t know it—rather I guess she
didn’t. And too, one day she wanted
to leave the table early and didn’t
want to go by the three faculty ta-
bles so she went out through the
kitchen! I bet if Mrs. Finonell had
seen her she’d have had a fit.

Giddy, did you take chemistry with

out in the hall and heard everybody

Virginia Browning, the chief of Police,
told me. Martha Lin Manley, by self-
campaigning elected herself mayor
and all the other girls were dressed
up like men or something and all had
erazy names; anywhere from the dog-
catcher and garbage man to the un-

and sheriff were arresting the gamb-
lers and drunkards and the debutantes
were flirting outrageously with the
dudes and bachelors and those who
couldn’t find something worthwhile
to do were yelling at each other. And
down in Tin-Can Alley (one of the
wings) somebody was playing “In-

—as Miss Preston would say.

The girls over on 3rd floor Inman
say that Nellie Richardson is the
cleanliest girl in school. The pitcher
in her room wouldn’t hold enough H20
(influence of chem. I) so the other
girls on the wing gave a shower in
her honor and each brought a pitcher
full of H2 O and there were so many
she had to spread them all over the
hall outside her door. I’d have been
seared that after the lights went out
I’d stumble over them and then there’d
be a shower sure ’nuff.

PLAN FOR NEW GYMNASIUM

It is with the greatest interest that
all students, alumnae and friends of
Agnes Scott College hear that at last
ground has been broken for the new
gymnasium, This building will have
as its site the former site of the in-
firmary and about half the hockey
field.

Last week at a meeting of the
Board of Trustees it was definitely
decided that work on this building
could be put off no longer, in spite
of the deficit of $40,000. Of the
$166,000 needed, only $128,000 have
been secured. Yet the board deem-
ed it wise to go ahead with the gym-
nasium, the first of the buildings
which will make a “Greater Agnes
Scott,” and to plan to pay for the
building on the installment plan. The
fund already secured is large enough
to erect the exterior of the building,
the gymnasium proper, the stage,
the floor for the balcony, the room
for the swimming pool, and the six
or seven rooms to be fitted for stu-
dent activities, such as different
clubs—K. U. B., Pi Alpha Phi, B.
O. Z., ete. But the elaborate light-
ing system for the stage and the
pool itself will have to await further
funds.

This gymnasium of ours will be
not only “a thing of beauty,” as it
undoubtedly will, but it will be the
best building of its kind in this sec-
tion of the country. The equipment
will contain everything that can pos-
sibly be needed in a gym, from
“horses” to the doctor’s office. On
the ground floor will be the swim-
ming pool and a large room contain-
ing basket lockers and box lockers.
There will be every inducement for
swimmers—a tiled pool, 25 by 60
feet, showers, and even a hair-drying
establishment. Then, too, on the
ground floor will be a laundry for
middies! No gym clothes will ever
be taken from the building. Also on
this floor will be a special gymna-
sium fitted for girls taking I. G—
individual gymnasium—and a kitchen
where lunches can be served,

The main floor will be given over
to offices of physical education direc-
tors and the College physician, physi-
cal examination rooms, rest rooms
and the gymnaisum proper, the main
feature of the floor, which can serve
both as gym and as auditorium, for
at one end will be a raised gymna-
sium floor, which can easily be con-
verted into a stage. But the main
gymnasium will be the pride of our
hearts. It will be 70 by 90 feet, large
enough for two basketball courts, and
think of holding Thanksgiving and
Founder’s Day dances in such a huge
place!

The third floor will consist of a
balcony, which will seat two hundred
and seventy people, and the rooms
for student activities, and a room
where lights can be shifted for the
stage on the floor below.

This will be our gymnasium when
completed. A most perfectly equip-
ped building it will be. Gym will
no longer be a bore with such an
incentive! It is hoped that with such
an ideal as this before us, money
enouzh may be secured to complete
all the features by September, 1925.

STUDENT CAMPAIGN FOR NEW
GYMNASIUM
(Continued from Page 1, Column 3)

tion, We, however, owe Agnes Scott
something more than a mere money
debt; we owe her a debt of love and
joy. Other colleges are being aided
by their student bodies. Vassar stud-
ents and Wesleyan girls came to the
support of their colleges; shall we do
less? We feel proud that our col-
lege stands for the best in all lines,
and we want the future as well as
the past to prove that her name leads

‘all the rest.

Hoase, Black Friars, and the Ath-
letiec Association, to which the matter
was carried by Dr. McCain, have
worked out a plan for the campaign.
Pledge cards have been made for
sums ranging from $5 to $100. Each
girl is asked to pledge that she will
be responsible for raising a certain
amount by January 1, 1926. To aid
in collecting her money, each girl is
given four cards which have places
for ten dimes each, and, as Miss Ran-
dolph suggested, the dimes may be
removed when the card is full and
other dimes put in their places. Each
girl who pledges money will be given
an A. S. C. button to wear. Many of
the organizations on the campus have
already made pledges. Other schemes
are also to be used in securing the
money. Plays and stunts will be given
throughout the coming year, and the
left-over budgets of the various or-
ganizations are to be used.

Miss Randolph has made a drawing
of the new building in which each
brick represents a dollar. As the
money is pledged the bricks are color-
ed red. This drawing is on the bulle-
tin board in Main Building; so all may
see the progress that is made. Pledge
your amount and watch the gym-
nasium grow!

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1925

Mr-and Mrs: Dubose Heyward to |Rapid Progress On/Caro

Spend a Week at Agnes Scott

Mr. Heyward, South
Carolina Poet,
Lectures Monday

Mrs. Heyward, Playwright,
Will Talk in Chapel

Agnes Scott is very fortunate in
having Mr. and Mrs. Dubose Heyward
spend a week on our campus. Mr.
Heyward charmed the college com-
munity in his stay of one day last
February, when he lectured under the
auspices of the Lecture Association.
This year he comes to spend a week,
to encourage the writing of poetry
among the students by the influence
of having a real poet among us.

Mrs. Heyward will make her first
visit to Agnes Scott and we are look-
ing forward with much pleasure to
her stay. Mrs. Heyward is a play-
wright and her first play was a Har-
vard Prize Play. She has recently
written a new play which will be put
on first by the Town Theatre at Co-
lumbia, South Carolina. Mr. George
P. Baker, of Harvard, is coming down
to Columbia to see the play. Mrs.
Heyward studied at Harvard under
Mr. Baker, Later the play will appear
at a “Punch and Judy” Theatre in
New York. Mrs. Heyward will speak
in chapel Thursday morning, she will
also speak to the English class in
modern drama.

Mr. Heyward is a native Charles-
tonian and has published short fiction
articles and reviews, but for several
years past he has devoted his entire
writing time to poetry.

He has contributed to th e“Atlantic
Monthly,” “North American Review,”

“London Mercury,” “Outlook,” “Ev-
erybody’s Magazine,” “Poetry —A
Magazine of Verse,” “Contemporary
Verse,” “Lyric,” and other magazines,

His work will be found in “Braith-
waite’s Anthologies for 1921 and
1922,” the “New Poetry Anthology,”
edited by Harriet Monroe, “Contempo-
rary Verse Anthology” and the “Pe-
terborough Anthology,” published by
the Theatre Arts Press, 1923.

The poem, “Gamster’s All” took
first pribe offered by Contempo-
rary Verse for 1921, and two poems,
“Dusk” and “Edgar Allen Poe,” re-
ceived honorable mention in contest
by “Poetry,” a magazine of Verse.

Mr. Heyward is a member of the
Poetry Society of America and also
of the Poet’s Club of New York. He
is also a member of the MacDowell

Classes Elect Officers
For Second Semester

Manly, Graeber, Leyburn,
Anderson Re-Elected

Last week was dotted quite heav-
ily with elections, but the most im-
portant of these were the elections
by the Junior, Sophomore, and Fresh-
man classes, of class officers for the
second semester.

The Junior Class, in a brief meet-
ing, unanimously voted to retain the
' officers of the first semester. These
officers who have won the class’s ap-
President, Catherine

proval are:

Graeber; Vice President, Sara Slaugh-
ter; Secretary-Treasurer, Olivia
Swann.

The Sophomores reelected Ellen
Douglas Leyburn as President. For
Vice President, Elizabeth Clark, and
for Secretary-Treasurer, Lib Lilly
were chosen.

Meeting on the same night as the
Sophomores, the Freshmen claim to
have had the best election of all. The
first semester officers, President, Jack
Anderson; Vice President, Louise Syd-
nor; Secretary-Treasurer, Gwendolyn
McKinnon, were unanimously reelect-

Margery Speake

Attends Student
Volunteer Conference

Meeting of Student Volunteers
of United States and
Canada

Margery Speake left Tuesday morn-
ing, January 27, to attend the For-
eign Missions Convention of the Unit-
ed States and Canada. The Conven-
tion was held in the Washington Au-
ditorium, at Washington, D. C., Janu-
ary 28 to February 2. Agnes Scott
was indeed fortunate in being allowed
the opportunity of sending a dele-
gate to this conference, the greatest
missionary meeting within the last
ten years, as only one hundred dele-
gates from the Student Volunteers of
the United States and Canada were
present. The total number of dele-
gates was limited to five thousand.
This number included, besides the
student volunteers, officers and mem-
bers of Foreign Mission Boards, pas-
tors of churches, laymen and laywo-
men in equal numbers, general church
officials, theological and college pro-
fessors, and foreign missionaries at
home on furlough.

The primary purpose of the Con-
vention was to inform and inspire the
churches of Canada and the United
States. It was an educational, not a
deliberative or legislative assembly,
and dealt with questions and problems
of administration on the mission field.
Its messages were designed to enlarge
the interest and deepen the conviction
of the Christian peoplesat the home
base as to their foreign mission re-
sponsibilities and obligations.

The program of the Convention was
carried out along the usual lines.
There were two platform meetings in
the Auditorium each day during the
mornings and evenings. The best
available speakers were secured for
these meetings. Every afternoon
there were simultaneous conferences,
each with its own complete program.
Provisions were made on the after-
noon of Monday, February 2, for

Georgia Student
Volunteers to Hold
Conference At
Agnes Scott

Many Interesting Speakers On
Program

The meeting of Georgia Student
Volunteers here February 13, 14 and
15 promises to be a great occasion
for Agnes Scott and Decatur. For

Student Volunteers and others inter-
ested from all the colleges in Georgia
will gather then for inspiration and
fellowship.

Most of the girls who come as dele-
gates will be entertained in the Dor-
mitories. The homes of Decatur are
also open and the churches are unit-
ing in cordial cooperation with the
conference. About three hundred vis-
itors are expected and preparations
are being made to provide entertain-
ment for them in addition to a won-
derful program, including addresses
by famous leaders of the movement
and by returned missionaries them-
selves.

Students will take a prominent part
in the program and numerous dis-
cussions and denominational groups
are being planned.

The visitors will begin arriving Fri-
day afternoon and will be welcomed
by those in charge at a reception that
night. The conference will be opened
by an important meeting afterward.
And these meetings will continue Sat-
urday and close with an impressive
service Sunday night. —

Gymnasium Fund

Over $5,000 Raised, and Last
$500 Promised

Half of Students Subscribers

The growth of the new Gymnasium-’

Auditorium building is being evi-
denced in two ways. All of us have
noticed with approval how rapidly the
actual work is going on down on the
hockey field. On the side farthest
from the library, the wall is already
as high as the second story. Pro-
gress is being made olso in another
direction which is just as important,
the building up of the swimming pool
auditorium fund.

Miss Randolph announced at Chapel
shortly after the holidays the great
success with which the campaign was
meeting. Since then, the fund has
been steadily increasing, as is evi-
denced by the rise of the red brick
line on the diagram in Main Hall. The
sum that has been collected plus
pledges is now over five thousand dol-
lars. The contributions have ranged
from one dime up. Miss Randolph
has secured the promise of the last
five hundred dollars when the rest of
the money has been pledged.

The way in which the money for
this campaign has been secured va-
ries as greatly as the amounts. There
are direct gifts from individuals
which are secured through the “dime
cards” and pledge slips which we took
home; gifts from the college organi-
zations, which have responded 100
per cent, including $500 from the Ath-
letie Board, and money which has
been earned. The recital of Poca-
hontas Wight contributed $72.50 in
this way, and Mr, Johnson is planning
to charge for the Glee Club Concert
this Spring and give what is taken in
to the fund.

The response of the student body,
Miss Randolph says, has been splen-
did. Half of us have pledged, but

lina Playmakers Delight

Large Agnes Scott Audience

Pocahontas Wight

Gives Violin Recital

Ruth Harrison and Gene Dozier
On Program

For the benefit of the new gym-
nasium, Pocahontas Wight gave on
Wednesday evening, January 28, a

violin concert, assisted by Ruth Har-
rison, reader; Eugenie Dozier, dancer;
Mary Ray Dobbins, accompanist; and
the Agnes Scott Violin Ensemble. In
spite of the disagreeable weather,
three was said to have been the lar-
gest crowd preset that was ever be-
fore at a concert at Agnes Scott.
From the hearty applause and enthu-
siastie praise, the program was thor-
oughly enjoyed by all who were
present.

Poky’s ability as a violinist was dis-
played in selections rendered with
unique skill and charming grace. She
was repeatedly encored and gracious-
ly played Kreisler’s arrangement of
“Song of India” by Rimsky-Korsakow
and repeated the first part of “Ave
Maria” by Schubert-Wilhelmj. Ruth
Harrison also delighted the audience
with her readings and answered an
encore with a quite witty little rhyme.
In a lovely Russian costume, Gene
Dozier made us gaze with rapt at-
tention, watching the movements of
her light, graceful feet. She was ur-
gently encored and responded with a
repetition of Chopin’s ‘“Mazurka.” The
Agnes Scott Violin Ensemble with
Pocahontas playing the leading part
was quite beautiful and effective. The
work of Maty Bay, Dobbins as ac:
companist also deserves commenda-
tion for to her, of course, was due
much of the success of the other per-
formers.

The stage for this occasion was
unusually pretty with green plants,
a basket of pink sweet peas, and sev-
eral baskets of pink roses, the latter
having been sent to Poky by admiring
friends.

For the new gymnasium, $5,000 of

Mr. W. C. Vereen
Member of Board
of Trustees

Member of Executive Committee
of ‘Trustees

Mr. W. GC. Vereen, of Moultrie, Ga.,
is the fifth member of our Board of
Trustees in length of time of service.
He has been interested in our college
for most of its history and has taken
special interest in picking out girls
who are the Agnes Scott type. Two
of his daughters are Agnes Scott
graduates and haye been interested
and loyal like their father. Mr.
Vereen also has several grand-daugh-
ters, whom he is planning to send to
Agnes Scott.

Mr. Vereen may be betted described
as a builder than in any other way.
He has probably had more to do with
the making of South Georgia into a
rrosperous industrial and agricultural
section than any other. He has been
interested in many enterprises in
Moultrie and other sections of the
state. Among his various activities
are banking, cotton manufacturing,
meat packing, farming, building of
railroads, turpentine distilling and
dealing in real estate. In every one
of these he has great activity and vis-
ion, and has been a distinct leader.

Besides his activities in education
and business, Mr. Vereen is an elder
in the Presbyterian Church in Moul-
trie and one of the most prominent
leaders of the denomination in the
state.

He is a member of the executive
committee of the board of trustees
and has been a very liberal contribu-
tor to the college.

The Carolina Playmakers, of the
University of North Carolina, on their
first tour of the South, presented a
matinee program of folk-plays to a
large and enthusiastic audience of
students, faculty, and visitors from
Atlanta and Decatur, in the chapel of
Agnes Scott College, on January 26.
The performance scored an enormous
success, and gave to Blackfriars a
stimulus which will undoubtedly have
far-reaching results in dramatic pro-
duction on our own campus.

The first play was a comedy of
Plantation Days, entitled “Gaius and
Gaius, Jr.” It deals with a_ hot-
headed old Southern gentleman who
is absolute lord of his family and
possessions, and peremptory beyond
toleration; yet kind for all his blus-
tering. The plot is based on a true
incident. Mr. Gaius Mayfield, Sr.,
plantation owner, afflicted with im-
aginary heart trouble, experiences one
of the many occasions on which he
feels his life ebbing from him, and
is then prevailed upon by a cunning
physician to repentantly grant three
things his family has long wished:
exemption from Sunday labor for his
slaves, freedom of marriage for his
son, and money for a church organ.

Mr. George V. Denny’s interpreta-
tion of Gaius Mayfield, Sr., was art
so perfected as to seem no art.

“Pixin’s,” a tragedy of a tenant-
farm woman, was easily the most
forceful of the three plays. The play
is the result of the authors’ own ob-
servation of that crushing poverty
and ceaseless toil which so soon take
the lustre from the eye of the tenant-
farmer and the bloom from the cheek
of his wife. It portrays the conflict
between a work-worn tenant-farm wo-
man—who is determined to snatch
from her hard world what beauty she
can in the shape of a vase, a flower, a
visit to a friend—and her husband,
whose eyes can see no beauty beyond
the plowshare with which he turns
the soil of his landlord’s farm. Lilly
continually has her hopes dashed to
pieces, as well as her vase, by her
loving but. uncomprehending husband;
and finally seeks refuge in the night,
where at least she can see the stars
overhead and the darkly silhouetted
pine trees guarding the grave of their
“Charlie.” Mr. Aubrey Shackell, as
the tenant-farmer, and Miss Lilly
Robinson, as his wife, played their
difficult roles masterfully, and brought
tears to the eyes of their audience
more than once.

Pi Alpha Phi Chooses
Twelve Debaters

Interesting Debates on Inter-
Collegiate Subject

The twelve most efficient debaters,
out of the forty composing the Pi
Alpha Phi debating club, have been
chosen to try-out in preliminaries for
the intercollegiate debate when Agnes
Scott will meet Randolph-Macon and
Sophie Newcomb. These preliminar-
ies will be held February 4 and 5
on the subject for the intercollegiate
debate, Resolved: ‘That the Ameri-
can Immigration act of 1924 is for
the best interest of the United
States.”

This subject in part was discussed
at the last meeting of the club, the
subject then being, Resolved: “That
the American Immigration Act of
1924 would not benefit Labor.”

The six best debaters will be select-
ed from these preliminary debates and
these will meet one another a second
time.

Each member of the club was given
a chance to try out and the twelve
chosen were Olivia Swann, Pocahontas
Wight, Elsa Jacobson, Isabel Fergu-
son, Mary Davis, Dorothy Keith, Lar-
son Mattox, Ruth Liggin, Margaret
Hyatt, Catherine Graeber, Ellen

EDITORIAL

There are certain times in life when we seem to have passed
milestones, when one thing is finished and we have a new chance,

a blank page upon which to write.

of a new semester.
lege life.

Such a time is the beginning

We have just finished one period of our col-
We have left behind us the successes, and failures and

mistakes of the past semester and during this spring we want to

push forward to make Agnes Scott mean even more to us.

We

must turn the experience of the fall into preparation so that we

may do better things this semester.

The real value of college

lies in the fact that we are learning to profit by our mistakes
and so make each day better than the one before.

There are a few definite things of which we have become
careless, that we need to be reminded of as the new semester
begins. The first of these is the library. Books which are being
used by large classes have been disappearing from the library for

longer or shorter periods.

Won’t you each be eareful to sign for

a book before you take it from the library and be just as careful
to return it on time? You are being extremely selfish when you
leave the library with a book without signing for it and you are
putting other girls at a great disadvantage.

We have also grown careless about the way we treat our
books. They are being marked up and thrown around. We often
fail to realize that they are the little things that count and as

well the little things that ruin us.

We would each hate to be

called discourteous or have it said that we are hurting Agnes
Scott, but that is what we are doing when we disfigure our library
books. Strangers could draw but one conclusion from such signs.
So we are asking that each girl feel individually responsible for
the books in the library this semester.

We have also grown careless about throwing trash on the
campus, either from the windows or carelessly dropping papers

about the campus.

Let us turn over a new leaf and keep the

campus really spotless throughout the spring.
And we are given a wonderful chance this semester to really

do something lasting for our Alma Mater.

The students have

pledged $5,000 on the new swimming pool and stage in the
gymnasium. We want these to be finished by next September
and they will be if every one will do her part. Let us do all the
work we can to raise the money until every brick on the chart
has been colored red. We can do it, so let each one say we will.

We are hoping that the new semester will bring to each girl
at Agnes Scott much pleasure and success in her college life
and we hope that it will be the best semester Agnes Scott has

ever had.

LIGHT LARGE AGNES SCOTT
AUDIENCE
(Continued from Page 1, Column 5)

The superstitious spirit prevalent
among the country people who not
long ago lived on the banks of the
Roanoke River in North Caro-
lina was beautifully dramatized
in a folk-play called “When Witches
Ride.” Three typical countrymen are
met in the storehouse of a crossroads
store on a stormy night “fer a game
o’ poker an’ a swig o’ liquer.” The
tempestuousness of the storm arouses
in the mind of Uncle Benny supersti-
tious fear of the old witch, Phoeba
Ward, who is said to visit folks dur-
ing terrific thunderstorms. Ed shares
the fear of his father, but Jake, the
engineer, boastfully denies any dread
of Phoeba Ward, and swaggers over
to the jug for another draught of
liquor. Just then Phoeba herself ap-
pears, and begs shelter. Uncle Benny
and Ed cringe, but Jake continues his
bravado attitude. Finally, however,
the morale of the fire-eating engineer
gives way when he sees Phoeba rid-
ing away on a streak of lightning
with the devil himself seated by her
side.

The spirit of the play is beautifully
expressed in the Prologue for the or-
iginal production of the play, which

“Then witches ride the stormy, thun-
dering sky

And signs and omens fill believing

minds,

Then old traditions live in simple

speech

And ours the heritage of wonder-

ing.”

Mrs. Alga Leavitt, as the weird old
hag, showed artistic ability of the
highest type. The behind-scene ap-
paratus for making lightning and
thunder was quite effective in pro-
ducing a realistic impression of a
thunderstorm.

The history of the Carolina Play-
makers dates from seven years ago,
when Professor Frederick H. Koch
came from North Dakota (though he
is originally from Kentucky) to the
University of North Carolina, and
began to arouse interest in the folk-
play. From a small beginning, the
Players rapidly grew into what they
are today, a nationally recognized
company of folk-play producers. The
Carolina folk-plays are written in
English 31, a course in dramatic com-
position offered at the University.
The characters are drawn from local
observation or personal experience.
The settings are the work of stu-
dents in English 34, dramatic pro-
duction, under Mr. George V. Denny.
As stated by themselves, the aim of

AGNES SCOTT HEAD INDORSES
COLUMBIA SEMINARY’S
PLANS

The location of Columbia Theologi-
cal seminary in Decatur offers the
Presbyterian general assembly its
“most strategie opportunity for in-
vesting money,” in the opinion of Dr.
J. R. McCain, president of Agnes
Seott college.

A letter indorsing the location of
the school at Decatur, written by Dr.
McCain to Dr. R. O. Flinn, of At-
lanta, chairman of the publicity com-
mittee for the school, was made pub-
lic Wednesday.

It was also announced Wednesday
by the Presbyterian Ministers’ asso-
ciation that the removal of the semi-
nary to Decatur will influnece a
large number of young men to enter
the ministry that otherwise might not
be able to take the necessary sco-
lastic work. Seven men and three
young women already have declared
they will enter Christian service pro-
vided the school is located at Decatur,
where they will be able to obtain the
proper training.

The letter written by Dr. MeCain
follows:

“My Dear Dr. Flinn: In response
to your inquiry as to why I favor
the campaign in behalf of Columbia
seminary, I am very glad to write
you frankly my personal attitude to-
ward the matter,

“For fifteen or twenty years, I be-
lieved that Columbia seminary was
a useless expense in our educational
program. I admired its faculty and
was proud of its past achievements,
but I felt that there were too many
seminaries and that Columbia would
be the logical one to go. When the
proposition was made at Synod in
1923 to merge it with Union semi-
nary, it appealed to me as a happy
solution.

Has Changed His Opinion.

“This was before I gave the ques-
tion serious study, and I have now
completely reversed by judgment in
the matter. The crucial point with
me is this: If Columbia is dropped,
all our seminaries will be right on
the borders of the churech—Richmond,
Louisville and Austin. In my judg-
ment this would be a serious mistake.
It would leave the heart of our church
without an institution to furnish the
needed supplies of ministers. Most
educational institutions draw patron-
age from radius of 100 miles and set-
tle graduates close by. We have only

the Playmakers is “to give to the
people—in the mountains, on the
plain, and by the sea—a means of ex-
pressing in simple folk-plays their
rich store of legend and history, of
tales and songs heard in the villages
and in the country everywhere, and
of the dramatic happenings all about
us today.” The “Carolina Folk-
Plays” have been published in two
series, including, besides the plays
presented here, “Dod Gast Ye Both,”
“The Last of the Lowries,” “Trista,”
and others. The books have been ac-
cepted with enthusiasm, so that the
first series is now in its third edi-
tion.

The work of the Carolina Playmak-
ers is quite significant in the dramatic
field, for it promotes a return to the
common-place, to the drab life of an
ordinary man, whcih, after all, is the
most real, most dramatic, and inten-
sest of all life. Their plays smack
of the soil of North Carolina and the
soil of North Carolina is that of the
world; for, human traits are not lo-
cal. Artistic interpretation of folk-
life, in all its crudeness, pathos, beau-
ty, and fun, is an ideal worth striving
for. It creates understanding and
sympathy, and, as Professor Koch
says, “makes for the harmonious liv-
ing together of man.”

The Playmakers, wishing to present
their folk-plays to the “home folks,”
have just completed an eight-day
Southern tour, touching Badin, N. C.,
Columbia, S. C., Atlanta, Macon, Sa-
vannah, Ga., Charleston, S. C., Lum-
berton, N. C., and Pinehurst, N. C.

Gaius Mayfield, a plantation owner

Dr. Foster—Aubrey Shackell.

Ben, a young slave—Ray Heffner.

to look at the effect of Emory uni-
versity school of religion to see what
a step forward Methodism has taken
in this community within ten years.
Since Atlanta is the most accessible
city in the assembly, since it has more
Presbyterians than any other city in
the south, and since it has a natural
territory of large size from which to
draw, I am convinced that it ought
to have a theological seminary. Sure-
ly it is wiser to move the one from
Columbia here than to try to start a
new one.

“We can give the seminary a good
location of forty acres, only about
a mile from the city limits of Atlanta;
we can give the support of a united
group of synods who have never been
able to agree on support of any one
institution. We have a splendid body
of ministers in Atlanta who are a
unit in favoring the move, and the
people of our churches and of the
city generally will no doubt give en-
thusiastie loyalty when they know
the facts.

Agnes Scott Willing

“T have been asked whether it
might not take some money that
would go to Agnes Scott if it comes
to Atlanta. I think it will no doubt
do this to some extent. We need
money greatly, but we believe the
cause of the Kingdom is one great
cause, and we feel that all the insti-
tutions that seek to do God’s will can
find support.

“Hence we do not hesitate to lend
our hearty co-operation in getting all
the money possible for the seminary
just now. In my judgment, it is the
most strategie opportunity for invest-
ing money that faces the general as-
sembly in any department of its work.
If we can locate it in our midst firm-
ly and generously, all of us will
profit by its work, and all will share
in the blessings which I believe God
will pour out upon the efforts of the
newly awakened institution,

The writing of six hundred words
on the back of a postage stamp has
led Wesley Taylor, a graduate stu-
dent in Columbia, to claim the world’s
small-writing championship. Taylor
transcribed two of Lincoln’s complete
speeches on the small part of the

feat, he claims, surpasses that of

Nearly everybody went somewhere

know—'cept, of course, me. Elsa
Jacobsen went, too—in town and
stayed with some really, truly rich
people. She said they had two but-
lers to wait on both sides of the table
but seems like to me they could have
all waited on the top side, don’t you

MRS. DIECKMANN ENTERTAINS
B. O. Z.

A meeting with Mrs. Dieckmann
Monday night—the most delightful
thing which can happen to B. O. Z.!
The evening was most appropriately
begun by a startling account of Mr.
Dieckmann’s burglar, who, although
he did no more damage than to knock
over a picture and take a vase as far
as the front steps, was a fitting im-
petus for more tales of burglary.
After hearing other experiences with
burglars there was an interesting dis-
cussion of books and present day
writers. Ellen Walker then read the
only story of the evening, “The Blue
Tower,” which was the story of three
college girls, who, ten years after
their graduation, came back to their
Alma Mater and under the shadow
of the Blue Tower, sacred to the mem-
ory of their college days, told each
other of the joys, and disappoint-

ments which the past ten years had | jj

brought to them. ‘The description of
commencement with ist partings, the
greetings of old friends, the loved

blue tower gave an atmosphere which | |

could belong to any college, but which
was especially appealing to Agnes
Seott girls.

After delicious refreshments
cherry charlotte and cake the late
hour made the girls leave the cheery
fire to ride sumptuously home in Mrs.
Dieckmann’s and Virginia Hollings-
worth’s cars.

NEW SEMESTER BEGINS

Monday, January 26, a new semes-
ter began. To anyone familiar with
Agnes Scott, the prominence of blue
course cards the anxious consultation
with committees and the absorbing in-
terest in semester courses all proclaim
the fact. With exams safely behind
us, we have before us a brand new
spring term full of hard work and
surprises, too,

Among the eagerly sought courses
there are old friends as well as new
ones. In English, Dr. Good will have
the short story course, and one in
American Literature. B. O. Z. mem-
bers and would-be members are eager
to begin. In the Biology department
there is a new course—Mr. Heath, of
Emory, is offering a course in Local
Flora. This bids fair to be one of
the most popular courses on the
campus. Who doesn’t want a lab
which calls for woods and fields in
spring time? F

The prospect of hard work is light-
ened by such bright spots as the visit
of Mr. and Mrs. DuBose Heyward,
MecCormack’s concert in Atlanta this
week, George Washington Scott’s
birthday, when lovely ladies and be-
wigged gentlemen will dance the min-
uet in the gym, and only two months
away looms spring holidays. Indeed,
this promises to be one of the best
semesters at Agnes Scott—good luck
to everybody!

BLACKFRIARS AND NORTH CAR-
OLINA CLUB GIVE TEA FOR
CAROLINA PLAYERS

Blackfriars and the North Carolina
Club were hostesses to the Carolina
Playmakers at a tea given just after
the performance of the players in the
chapel of the college, Monday after-
noon, January 26. The tea was given
in the lobby of Rebekah Scott Hall.
It was quite an informal affair, con-
sisting chiefly in getting acquainted
with kindred spirits.

The main topics of conversation, as
you may surmise, were “plays” and
“North Carolina,” the hostesses find-
ing their guests quite as charming
off stage as on. Light refreshments
of tea and sweet crackers were served.

Athletic News

“Bat, drink and be merry for to-
morrow you may have a test.” This
is the motto of Agnes Scott girls, if
we may judge by the many boxes of
“food” which are always to be found
in the various rooms.

However, the ill-fated tests did be-
gin in earnest two weeks ago. And
with the arrival of these examina-
tions promiscuous eating and lack of
exercise took flight. Physical fitness
during the exam period was encour-
aged by an effective plan sponsored by
the Athletic Board.

A contest was put on between the
different tables in each dining room.
Every girl getting eight hours sleep,
one hour of exercise, three meals, and
abstaining from eating sweets except
at the table, was given 10% credit
each day. The ten girls at each ta-
ble therefore gave their table a total
of 100% daily, that is if each person
kept the four “good health” require-
ments. But if any one girl broke any
one rule she lost her entire 10%,
and the table credit was lowered ac-
cordingly. : ~) am

This isn’t the first year that the
idea has been carried out. It origi-
nated in 1923 and has been used dur-
ing each mid-term exam period since.
The plan adds the element of play
and reward to that of duty to one’s
self, and consequently creates much
fun and interest while at the same
time it bears out the laws of cor-
rect living. Campus statistics show a
marked improvement in the examina-
tions stood under this plan over the
ones taken in the former days of in-
tensive cramming.

The winning tables were: in Re-
bekah Scott, Catherine Carrier’s,
Josephine Scheussler’s and Sallie Hor-
ton’s; in White House, Sarah Slaugh-
ter’s. No table in White House made
100% each day for the entire two
weeks, but Sterling’s and Sarah’s ta-
ble made the highest average, so the
prize went to them. The winning
tables were awarded ice cream and
cake.

Drama”

Agnes Scott had all
eagerly looking forward to the talk
which Mrs. DuBose Heyward made on
“Modern Drama” in chapel Thursday
The anticipations of the
college community were not only real-
ized, but indeed quite surpassed. For
twenty exceedingly short minutes the
attention of those present was ‘capti-
vated by the sparkling, vivacious per-
sonality of the speaker.

Mrs, Heyward gave her personal ex-
perience in getting a play produced,
as an example of that of most play-
wrights. Her play, “Nancy Ann,”
since it took the Harvard prize for
1923, was assured of a Broadway pro-
duction, but that was only the begin-
ning. After all kinds of difficulties
caused by the whims of the star who
was to take the part of Nancy Ann,
the play was finally produced, al-
though not in exactly the original
form. Mrs. Heyward laughingly said
that this fact provided her with quite

a good explanation concerning the:

length of the run which her play had.

The play “Nancy Ann” was based
on Mrs. Heyward’s own experience. It
deals with the effor
the heroine, to get on the stage, and
the ardent endeavors of her conserva-
tive aunts to keep her off. Mrs. Hey-
ward was well qualified to write such
a play as a good part of her life,
she tells us, has been spent at the
homes of her aunts; and as she has
learned about trying to get on -the
stage by actual experience, when she
wanted to get inside information
about the stage, while studying in
New York. Mrs. Heyward confessed
that she spent quite a number of
years in writing plays before she pro-

duced one that was accepted. She

“Sun-up” Read at
Blackfriar Meeting

Several members of Blackfriars
read two acts of the play “Sun-Up”
at a regular meeting of the club on
last Friday evening. Considering the
difficulty of impersonating mountain-
eers, whom most of the cast knew
only by hearsay and reading, the
parts were interpreted with unusual
sincerity. Mary Ben Wright, who
played the lead as Widow Cagle, de-
serves special commendation for her-
sympathetic presentation of a none
too easy role. “Sun-Up” is now run-
ning on Broadway, and the star who
plays Widow Cagle there found it
necessary to live six months with the
mountaineers before she could master
their dialect sufficiently to feel at
home with it.

“Sun-Up” is a play written by an
Atlanta woman, Lula Vollmer, which
deals with the life of the mountain
people of western North Carolina.
Mrs. Cagle is a strong opposer of
the national government, or the
“Jaw,” as she calls it; the law has

on Monday evening in the chapel con-
tributed very largely to the achieve-

His subject, again, was “Contem-
porary Southern Poetry”, the whole
aspect of the field having changed
since last year. The South, espe-
cially, has developed its latent talent
and shows a tendency toward group
development. Charleston is the home
of the very first and most widely
known group and produces mostly re-
gional poetry, getting its inspiration
from the soil. While the poetry of
this group is primarily local in its
appeal, its local loyalty is fixed so
firmly as to touch a national chord.

Mr. Heyward Talks In
Chapel

Discusses MacDowell Colony and
Getting Into Print

The first of Mr. Heyward’s Chapel-
hour lectures, which was delivered
Wednesday morning, was concerned
chiefly with the MacDowell colony of
artists in New Hampshire. During
his short lifetime, MacDowell found
there the ideal spot for artistic work;
and, when after his death friends
wished to construct a memorial, Mrs.
MacDowell suggested that the farm be
enlarged so that other artists might
be benefited by it. This has been
done, and a colony is there now of
some of the most promising workers
along artistic lines. They work under
ideal conditions.

The studios are placed both on the
bare tops of hills and in the shady
depths of the pine woods. The work-
ers go to these early every morning
and remain there uninterrupted till
the late afternoon. Lunch is deliver-
ed at each studio by a truck, but the
occupants are not disturbed, Entrance
to the colony is not gained unless the
applicant can secure the recommenda-
tion of two outstanding msaters in his
own field. He then feels the necessity
of making good, and works earnestly
while at the colony.

As all those there are kindred
spirits, they encourage one another

phere for production. The evening

SHALL AGNES SCOTT BE A CENTER OF CREATIVE ART?

Agnes Scott has been richly blessed in the past two weeks
with a wealth of literary inspiration, brought to her very halls,
especially in the fields of dramatic and poetic composition and
production. The Carolina Playmakers presented to us very
tangibly the possibilities of the development of a folk-drama in
the South. They portrayed on our stage the common problems
of every-day life, as they had known it on their own native soil.
Then came Mrs. Heyward with the same message—stick close to
the concrete; you can express best only what you have ex-
perienced.

Mr. Heyward has interpreted for us the trend of contemporary
Southern poetry, in all its aspects—the spirit of the locale, intel-
lectualism, lyrism. His reading of his own poems has indelibly
impressed upon us the beauty and appeal of regional poetry.

‘Undoubtedly, we have shed tears of sympathy for Lilly and
her craving for “purty fixin’s”; have laughed at the picture of
Nancy Ann and her “indefinite number of aunts”; thrilled to
visions of “hill-blue eyes”; but is that all? Has the breeze of
artistic inspiration swept over us, borne us high into the clouds,
only to let us fall again, unchanged, into the same old rut? The
proper stimulus for creative art on our own campus has been
given; being psychologists, we await the response. Surely the
machinery is at hand. Blackfriars waits eagerly to present plays
written by students; the Shakespearian and modern drama
courses point out the method; the annual drama prize is the re-
ward. To be sure, we have no course definitely intended to teach
the technique of drama composition; but that will come with
need, as has the short story course. The apparatus is ready;
and surely there are among our number girls of ready expression,
with insight keen enough to fathom the depths of their own ob-
servations; to see the tragedy of the mountain farmer’s life,
whose horizon is bounded by the top row of his hillside cornfield;
to appreciate the childishness of our own negroes’ weird legends;
girls with wit quick enough to perceive the humorous and sad
situations that may arise from possessing an indefinite number
ef doting aunts (uncles are just as good).

As for poetry, English Eighteen and Twenty give the proper
foundation for writing; the Poetry Club nurtures the poetic mind;
the “Aurora” publishes poems; and the Louise McKinney prize
offers a reward. And have we, too, not eyes trained to see “the
toe that peepeth coyly”’, or the beauty of the tower of Main
etched against a cloudless sky; and ears attuned to catch the
pathos in the broken voices of women like Evy’s mother? True,
all of us can not have the necessary “spark o’ nature’s fire”; but
many have, as is shown by their previous work; and the rest of
us can be appreciative, and do our bit by building up a cultured
audience.

Seven years from now, and—Agnes Scott, the college center
of the South in creative art; the poems of the students find places
in anthologies yearly; their plays “go on Broadway”. Why not?

Of course anthologies and Broadway are not to be the ulti-
mate aim of our art. Our drama would mirror life faithfully,
beautifully, and would promote sympathy among men. Our
poetry would touch the heartstrings of man, and bear him up to
the highest heights of Everest.

gration Act of 1924 is for the best
interest of the United States.” After
each girl had manifested her prowess
as a public speaker and debater, the
debating council chose the six whom
it thought would best represent the
question in the final contest.

All twelve girls who took part in
the preliminaries showed exceptional
ability; and it was quite a task for
judges to select the six best. How-
ever, the final decision is: the nega-
tive team that is to debate Randolph-
Macon in Lynchburg consists of Dor-
othy Keith, Pocahontas Wight and
Eloise Harris; the affirmative team
which will defend the home territory
against Sophie Newcomb is made up
of Isabel Ferguson, Catherine Graeber
and Larson Mattox. Each team will
be composed of two main speakers
and one alternate; but this subdivision
has not yet been decided upon.

Of the six debaters only two of
them are veterans in the service. Po-
cahontas Wight has delivered the in-
troductory speeches for the A. S. C.
affirmative team for the past two
years, while Isabel Ferguson was al-
ternate for the team that stayed at
home last year. We all know the
ability of these two girls and predict
a similar success for those who are
stepping into the limelight as debat-
ers for the first time.

All old students know by experi-
ence what the intercollegiate debates
are, and are forward to the |
event with much
siasm. For the | en, the 20th
of March holds an unparalleled oc-
casion in store.

ating and inspiring. Mrs. MacDowell
has demonstrated that she is an ideal
hostess by keeping things running
smoothly always and never allowing
friction to develop.

The colony is an undoubted success.
Budding artists often “find them-
selves” there, and those who have
already arrived produce some of their
best work. Prize awards for work
done there were listed, and found to
fill more than two typewritten pages.
Two novels have been crowned by the
French Academy, and every American
literary prize has been won one time
at least. Mrs. MacDowell was given
$5,000 by the Pictorial Review as the
living person who has done most for
America, in recognition of her work
at the colony.

Some of the noted people there are,
Robinson, America’s greatest poet;
Louis Grumburg, a composer who be-
lieves in the fundamental validity of
American Jazz; and Spice Simpson,
the sculptor who is famous for his
medallions, some of which are in the
British museum. In closing, Mr. Hey-
ward commented that romances are
not encouraged between the men and
women at the colony, but admitted
that it was there he “found” Mrs.
Heyward.

His second Chapel lecture was de-
livered Friday morning. In it he dis-
cussed the various fields of writing
and the opportunities of entering
therein. He divided professional
writing into four classes: poetry,
fiction, drama, and free lance writing,
and discussed all except the drama,
which Mrs. Heyward had treated so
well Thursday morning.

Two points were made about poetry.
First, it is generally an avocation, the
poet’s livelihood being obtained in
some other way. He pointed to him-
self as an example. And, secondly, it
is the field in which it is easiest to
win recognition. There are always
poetry magazines willing to print
poems of any merit. These are sys-

MRS. CHEY’S KOREAN PARTY

Last Saturday, Dr. and Mrs. Chey
gave a Korean party at the Chop
Suey Inn on Peachtree. As hosts,
they were assisted by Miss Chahai-
Chay, Mr. Kang, and Mr. Oh of Ag-
nes Scott and Emory respectively.
The feast was spread in a charming
room where Chinese characters and
Japanese lanterns created an Eastern
atmosphere so strong that the busy
street scenes outside seemed quite out
of place.

And such dishes as the Koreans
with the interested aid of the Jap-
anese had prepared! There was
couk, kimchi, and others too compli-
cated for description; a stew with rice
and various salads. Afterwards we
had good American ice cream and
cake. The girls welcomed old favor-
ites, and Miss Bland declared that she
liked the strange food very much.

Afterwards there were stories and
tales of Korea which brought back old
memories, Mr. Kang amused every-
one with his story of the first time
he was invited out for the evening
in America. After he had carefully
foregone his supper in anticipation of
the big dinner coming, he discovered
at eleven o’clock that the refresh-
ments were cakes and tea. His moth-
er found him a hungrier, wiser man
when he returned home: With these
stories and laughing attempts to re-
call lost Korean phrases, time passed
auickly until it was time to go to
a movie. The whole evening was a
never-to-be-forgotten one.

The guests were Miss Bland, Mar-
garet Bull, Ruth Owen, Dorothy Ow-
en, and Miriam Preston.

tematically reviewed, and much de-
sired publicity is gained for the
poetry that is exceptional.

Fiction was discussed under the
heads of short story and of the novel.
The short story field is the most pop-
ulous and is fairly profitable, espec-
ially if a story can be produced by the
moving pictures. But professional
short stories are the work, not of the
artist, but of the highly skilled crafts-
man. Success in this field requires
a fertile imagination, facility in
writing, daily practice at writing, de-

plying 1

ee The novel, Mr. Heyward
said, is the longest shot in literary
endeavor. He asked a publisher about
what the chances are for success, and
ees much of interest. Only about

0% of the novels published are those
tn are not solicited. If a publisher
desires to print a novel of a certain
type, he asks the author of that type
to write one. All the novels sent in
unsolicited are given a cursory read-
ing, but it is worthwhile to read only
about 5% of these carefully. Of that
portion, only about one-tenth of 1%
are published. The likelihood of suc-
cess is very uncertain, then. The
recipe Mr. Heyward offered those in-
terested, was composed of imagina-
tion, skill, determination, and willing-
ness to let trifles go.

The free lance writer, according to
Mr. Heyward, is the jack-of-all-
trades, excepting short story writing.
Usually, he has produced a book of
poems and a novel, and lives by
writing reviews for 2 cents a word.
Versatility is necessary in his trade,
and he is a great gambler. But many
“discoveries” are due to him.

Lest he had dashed too much cold
water on the hopes of A. S. C, em-
bryonic authors, Mr. Heyward con-
cluded his lecture with more encour-
aging information. The present time

American Youth Now at College

American youth applied at the doors
of colleges and universities in in-
éreased numbers during the last year.
Like Ford cars and a certain brand
of cigarettes, higher education is to
have its millions of satisfied users.
Righty of the mos portant colleges
and universities alone offered their
educational ware to almost half
a million customers during the past
year. The steady increase in registra-
tion is paralleled by increase in gifts
and appropriations for the upkeep
and expansion of our educational in-
stitutions.

Eighty-three of the leading colleges
and universities in the United States
now have 245,248 students. This is
15,299 more than they had a year ago.
This list contains only those students
who at present have no occupation
besides going to college. It does not
include those enrolled in evening
courses, extension classes or summer
schools. The list is a representative
one, including small denominational
colleges, state universities, small co-
educational colleges and colleges for
women exclusively.

In these colleges the increase in at-
tendance for the last year has been
6% per cent. Although the increase
is not as large as in that period im-
mediately following the war, it is
much larger than the increase in pop-
ulation.

At the eighty-three foremost col-
leges and universities, the total en-
rollment at summer school is 160,000
and at extension school 125,000. Add
this number to the 245,000 full time
students and we find these eighty-
three institutions dealing out instruc-
tion to almost half a million persons
during the last year.

Wih the ever-increasing army of
education-seeking youngsters on their
hands, the main preoccupation every-
where is how to raise more money
to build more buildings and equip
more classrooms. Forty of the
eighty-three colleges have large size

r ams either under way

are: Harvard, with a $5,000,000 b
ness school; University of iowa, a
$4,500,000 iiedicat center; Western
Reserve, a $2,500,000 school of medi-
cine.

Many of the building programs
have been made possible as the re-
sult of large gifts by ‘millionaires,
James B. Duke, George Eastman,
George F. Baker, and others. The
University of Chicago has made ar-
rangements to double its present re-
sources of $50,000,000. Many state
legislatures will be asked for large
appropriations for state universities.
Ohio State is to ask for approximate-
ly $16,000,000 during the next bi-
ennium. The Universities of _Minne-
sota, North Dakota, and South Caro-
lina are also expecting funds from
similar sources,

GIDDIE GOSSIP

Thursday night.
Dearest Giddy:

You’re the nicest one to write me
such a long letter for that short one
I sent you. And it dusted out my
mail box so good. You see they gave
me a box all to myself because, I
guess, my name begins with A and
they thought I’d get a heap o’ letters,
but I don’t. Now, if my name began
with B I might be in the box with
Charlotte Bell and the box would get
dusted every. morning and afternoon.
Really, Giddy, she makes me tired—
she gets so much mail. Every day
she gets at least six letters and I’m
doing well if I get two in a whole
week.

Guess what’s going to be tomorrow
night? A basketball game with the
faculty! I bet it’s going to be fun-
ny, and I wish you could see it. Miss
Brown, she’s my Biology teacher, is
going to play forward. I hope a heap
of people come so we'll make lots
of money to go for the gym.

Giddy, I can’t wait till about three
weeks more. They say it’s as exciting
as the Freshman-Sophomore stunt
night and everybody hugs everybody
else if we win and you just clap and
clap till your hands feel like they'll
fall off—Oh! I didn’t tell you what
it was, did 1? Well, it’s The Debate.
‘Of course, all the old girls know what
it’s like but I don’t. Last year we
won one of them, but this year we
want to do both. And tonight, Giddy,

taineer is overwhelmed with apples
and corn, and the easiest way of mak-
ing money is to change these into
liquor. And surely it is cowardly to
refrain from making whisky simply
because a vague and hostile something
called “law,” represented by a con-
ceited sheriff, forbids it. Why, too,
should the “law” call Rufe, her son,
to fight for it? What had it done
for him, and whom was it fighting
anyway (Mrs, Cagle thought the Yan-
kees), and for what? The play pre-
sents the pathetic situation the gov-
ernment has to meet in enforcing the
law among a people who regard moon-
shining as a right, and are far too
ignorant to understand any duty of
allegiance to a national union.

This beautiful poem of Miss Janef
Preston’s, ’21, appeared in the last

number of the Alumnae Quarterly:

“To Rescue Today From Oblivion.”
As trees print coolness on the heated
grass,
In clear, sharp images that lie out-
lined,
So beauty lays cool fingers as I pass
Upon the parched places of my
mind:
The honeysuckle hedge’s breathing
bloom
That fills 9 lane with fragrant May,
The star that swings her taper
through the gloom
That gathers at the closing of the
day;
The sudden glowing of a gracious
thought,
Akin to wonder, on a lifted face.
These cool imprints of beauty have
been wrought
Upon the dullness of the common-

place;
And beautiful as bloom, or thought,
or sky,
A shining name today one called me
by.”

(Continued from Page 1, Column 3)

wider recognition than an individual
poet. Thus the Nashville group has
an advantage in its publication of
“The Fugitive.”

The Norfolk group also publishes a
poetry magazine called “The Lyric’.
Their poems, which are of a very light
lyrical vein, are somewhat the excep-
tion to the generally serious tone of
contemporary Southern poetry. Their
lyrics are beautiful, but haven’t the
largeness of conception that the po-
ems of other groups have!

In Georgia, there are a few inde-
pendent poets, who have achieved dis-
tinction, such as Arthur Barrow and
Elfrieva Whiteside, and also the Ag-
nes Scott group. Speaking of the is-
sue of the “Aurora” of last spring,
which was devoted to poetry, Mr. Hey-
ward said: “The poetry number of
the ‘Aurora’ of last spring is the best
single issue of any college magazine
I have ever seen.”

After this survey of Southern con-
temporary poetry, Mr. Heyward read
choice selections of poems of each
group and ended with several of his
own poems from the book from which
he gave the first reading here last
year. Very interesting were “The
Equinoxial Gale”, and “Black Christ-

mas”. His poem “Dusk”, written to
Charleston, is an exceptionally good
example of the regional poetry of that
group. As an encore Mr. Heyward
read a charming lyric which gave us
a sidelight on his personality. The
poem ended thus:
“When we grow older, sadder, colder,
We will remember your head and my
shoulder.”
Having seen Mrs. Heyward, we can
easily understand what an inspiring
thought this must be.

Mr. Blanshard Speaks
To College

“Labor and the College Student”
Subject

If anyone went to the lecture of

of the League for Industrial Democ-
racy, expecting to hear a radical dis-
course advocating Bolshevism or
some such doctrine, she was greatly
disappointed. The subject of the lec-
ture was “The Challenge of Labor to
the College Student,” and Mr. Blan-
shard presented this challenge to us
very convincingly. As he has been
closely associated with laborers—he
entered their ranks as a worker in a
clothing factory, Mr. Blanshard thor-
oughly understands their viewpoint,
and ably presented it to us.

There are three demands which
the laborer is now making. He wants
better wages in order to satisfy his
‘human needs. The press often car-
ries feature stories of the excessive-

out indicating that the trades which
receive them do not have steady em-
ployment, and without showing that
expenses are correspondingly high.
Since the emphasis in business cir-
eles has been placed on high profits
for the capitalist instead of on dis-
tribution of the income, the laboring
class has been forced to eke out a
mere existence, to the degredation
of its personality and the weakening
of our nation.

Another demand made by the
workers is shorter hours. This is
caused by the necessity of getting
away from the monotony of the ma-
chine as much as the need of rest
and recreation after work. Since the
division of labor has made of many
9 wage-earners mere machine-tenders,

| with a- single meehanical.task to be
performed incessantly at the ma-
chine pace, shorter hours are becom-
ing more and more necessary for the
well-being of our workers.

The third demand made by the
workers is the most important and
fundamental of all. It is for more
control in industry. The system
which allows the investor of capital
jn a business full control but gives
none to the investors of their lives
is apparently unfair, The workers
do not wish to turn the world upside
down, but merely to secure a more

Miss Hearon and Miss
Daves Give Tea For
Mr. Blanshard

Miss Hearon and Miss Davis were
joint hostesses at a very delightful
tea given in the Alumnae House Tues-
day afternoon, in honor of Mr. Paul
Blanshard, who spoke to the college
community Tuesday evening. Among
those invited to meet Mr. Blanshard
were the History and Sociology and
Economics majors. :

Mr. Blanshard proved to be quite
an interesting and entertaining con-
versationalist and gave evidence of
his patience and intelligence as he
answered the many questions asked
of him. After everyone had enjoyed
delicious tea and sandwiches and the
tea things had been dispensed with,
the party followed Miss Davis’s sug-
gestion to be seated. This necessi-
tated many of the guests sitting on
the floor, and created an atmosphere
of informality which contributed much
‘to the enjoyment of the afternoon.

The entertainment took the form of
a discussion group—though Mr, Blan-
shard did most of the discussing. Ev-
‘eryone went away with a clearer con-
ception of the conditions ani need of
‘American Labor and the aim, of So-
‘eialism in ameliorating these condi-
tions.

Miss Ann Stephens
Speaks ; at Chapel

Vocational Guidance Her
Theme

Miss Ann Stephens’ talk at chapel,
February 12, coming right after the
announcement of the formation of our
Campus Bureau of Vocational Infor-
mation, was most interesting and
helpful.

Miss Stephens stated that it was
very encouraging and yet unusual for
the students themselves to be suffi-
ciently interested in Vocational In-
formation to form a bureau. Such an
establishment is, as a rule, left to the
| faculty.

Individual vocational decisions pro-
gress through three stages. The first,
the one that demands most careful
attention, is the Selection Stage. Al-
most every college girl has the desire
to do something. That is usually the
reason she is in college. With col-
| lege training, she has over three hun-
dred occupations from which to
choose. Miss Stephens compared the
college girl to a cross-word puzzle.
The spaces are her native ability, and
must be filled in by vocational decis-
ions made just as carefully with re-
gard to her own nature and desires,
as the words of the puzzle are insert-
ed with regard to the other words
they affect. The value of filling in
the vocational spaces symmetrically
can not be overestimated.

After choosing one’s vocation, prep-
aration must be the next decision.
Definite training for one’s definite
type of work must then be pursued,
In order that as much time as pos-
sible may be given to the definite
preparation, a choice should be made
early in the college career.

Getting a position naturally follows
preparation.. Graduates must be will-
ing, in first starting out, to take, with
small pay, almost any position which
will ultimately serve their purpose.

Miss Houghton Speaks
At Chapel On
Vacations

Many Positions Now Open To
Women

This is the season of the year when
Seniors are selecting their future vo-
cations and Sophomores are choking
their major subjects, with a bigger
aim in view than the prized “sheep-
skin.” Of course the Juniors and
Freshmen have no such weighty prob-
lems to be solved immediately; how-
ever, they, too, have a keen interest
for the broader life of public service.

So it is with this situation in mind
that a series of talks on “The Posi-
tions Open to College Women” are
being conducted under the auspices
of the campus Y. W. C. A. Miss
Houghton made the first of these
talks at the chapel hour on Wednes-
day morning, February 11.

Miss Houghton is connected with
the Southern College Placement Bu-
reau of the Southern Woman’s Edu-
cational Alliance, which has head-
quarters in Atlanta. She, therefore,

was able to give us direct informa-
tion concerning the vocational situa-
tion for women in our own immedi-
ate district. She said that there are
five hundred professions and occupa-
tions open to southern college gradu-
ates. These were listed under thirty
different fields. And it does seem as
if each of us might find the work
we wish to do after all.

Miss Houghton read us several per-
sonal letters from prominent business
and professional women. These were
very inspiring; and they gave us in-
sight into personal characteristics
which have always led to success.

Miss Houghton’s talk gave great
impetus to the campaign being
launched for the choice of a vocation.

Student Volunteers
Hold Conference
At Agnes Scott

Dean Johnston, Dr. Smart, Dr.
Manget and Others Speak

Agnes Scott feels that it was a
great privilege and blessing to have
the Student Volunteers hold their
conference on her campus last week.

The conference began with a meeting
in the chapel at eight o’clock Friday
evening, February 13, and had its last
session on Sunday evening. A large
number of delegates from various col-
leges throughout the state was in at-
tendance, and our own Agnes Scott
was well represented.

The purpose of this conference was
to bring together the Student Vol-
unteers and other Christian students
of Georgia, where they could con-
sider their personal relation to God
and to the Foreign Missionary enter-
prise and the responsibility of shar-
ing such a vision with other students.
The success of the conference tended
towards the aim of the Student Vol-
unteers, “the evangelization of the
world in this generation.” The con-
ference throughout its entire session
was whole-souled in spirit and power-
ful in inspiration.

On Friday evening at seven o’clock,
a reception was given for the dele-
gates by the students and faculty of
the college in the lobby of Rebekah
Scott Hall. After the meetings on
Saturday afternoon the delegates
were entertained at a delightful social
at the Presbyterian Church in De-
catur. i

At eight o’clock, Friday night, Rev-
erend Thomas H. Johnston, Dean of
St. Philip’s Cathedral in Atlanta,
spoke to the delegates about the pur-
pose and aims of the Student Volun-
teers. The gist of his discourse was
that Christ alone can save the world,
but Christ cannot save the world
alone. At nine on Saturday morning,
Dr. M. A. Smart, Professor of The-
ology at Emory University, spoke on
what we believe about God. He clear-
ly showed that “no man hath seen the
Father at any time save the Son and
him to whom the Son hath revealed
Him.” Dr. Isaac Fisher, Professor
of Fiske University at Nashville, Ten-
nessee, showed in his talk that the
black and white races are heirs and
joint heirs with Christ. Dr. Fred
Manget, Methodist Missionary to
China, told of the needs of that
ancient land, and in his talk revealed
the qualifications of a real mission-
ary. At the afternoon session on Sat-
urday, Dr. Smart made an address on
what we believe about the kingdom
of heaven, and Miss Katherine Lump-
kin, National Secretary of the Y. W.
C. A., also gave a talk. After the
speeches the delegates who are Stu-
dent Volunteers held a business meet-
ing and elected for next year the fol-
lowing officers:

Mr. G. C. Baker, Emory University,
President.

Mr. John Wright, University of
Georgia, Vice-President.

Miss Mary Heath, Agnes Scott, Sec-

retary.

Miss Irma Sigler, G. S. C. W.,,
Treasurer,

Mr. Bruce Swain, Emory Univer-

sity, Editor.

Miss Miriam Spruell, LaGrange
College, Out-of-College Volunteer
Secretary.

The principal speaker Saturday

night was Dr. Manget, who told of the
terrible conditions which prevail in
China today, and flung out the chal-
lenge to service called forth by such
a great need, At the Sunday morn-
ing meetings, Miss Mary Goodrich,
of Atlanta, led the devotional; Mr.
Jimmy Thoroughman made a report
on the Washington Conference; Miss
Lillie O. Lathrop, Presbyterian Mis-
sionary to Korea, gave an address
Sunday afternoon. Dr. Smart led the
devotional; Mr. John Rassmussen
spoke on “The Commitment of Life”;
discussion groups were held. The Sun-
day night meeting closed the con-

Alumnae Entertain
Seniors At
Valentine Tea

Past and Future of the Alumnae
Progress Told

The Agnes Scott Alumnae, ever ac-
tive promoters of A. S. C. spirit that
they are, entertained the Senior Class
at a lovely Valentine tea, given in
the Alumnae House last Thursday
afternoon. In the receiving line were
Mrs. Donaldson, president of the
Alumnae Association, and Miss Nell
Buchanan, secretary and treasurer.
Mrs. Donaldson ‘welcomed the class of
’25 into the ranks of the Alumnae, and
then introduced Miss Alexander, who
sketched the history of the Alumnae
Association. Beginning at the close
of the fifth year of the college’s ex-
istence, the Alumnae Association has
made marvelous progress. In 1917,
under the guidance of Miss Mary Wal.
ler Kirk, ’11, it was reorganized and
put on its feet, and from that year its
activity has been increasing in build-
ing a greater Agnes Scott. Follow-
ing Miss Kirk in the presidency have
been Mrs. Dieckmann, Mrs. Harold
Wey and Mrs. Donaldson, who serves
her term at present. Miss Nell Bu-
chanan, in her usual charming man-
ner, unfolded the present cativities of
the association and its aspirations for
the future. The Alumnae own and
manage the Anna Young Alumnae
House, which contains, as we all know
through experience, a tea-room, din-
ing-room, kitchen, parlor, bed-rooms
for Alumnae visitors, and office of
the secretary. Among the duties of
the secretary is gathering statistics
on the present occupations of Alum-
nae,

The Association publishes a bulle-
tin, the Alumnae Quarterly. It main-
tains a scholarship and loans here,
and is subdivided into committees for
helping A. S. C., such as the commit-

Mrs. C. E. Harman
Elected To Board of
Trustees in 1917

| Daughter of Founder of Agnes
Scott, Also Former Student

Mrs. ©, EZ. Harman is one of the
most modest members of our board of
trustees. She says that she has hardly

had any chance to develop individu-
ality of her She was first
known as Colonel Scott’s daughter,
then as Mr. Charlie Harman’s wife,
and later as Rebecca Harman’s moth-
er; all of which statements show that
she does not know what people really
think of Mrs. Harman herself.

own,

Before her marriage, Mrs. Harman
was Miss Bessie Scott, the youngest
daughter of Colonel George Washing-
ton Scott, the founder of our college.
She attended Agnes Scott when it
was an institute and made a good
record in her work particularly in
English and History.

Before her marriage she traveled
extensively; since, she has been a val-
uable worker in church circles and in
community betterment. She is a
member of North Avenue Presby-
terian Church. Her interest in Agnes
Seott and her activity in the college
was occasioned by her election to
membership of its board of trustees
in 1917. Since that time she has
served as a member of the commit-
tee on buildings and grounds, and has
been one of the most effective mem-
bers of the board of trustees.

Mrs. Harman has taken special in-
terest in the education of girls,.and
has raised money for the entire sup-
port and education of one of the Ag-
nes Scott girls. One of the most. in-
teresting things about Mrs. Harman
is her reputation among all who
know her as a wonderful home-maker
and mother.

Sophomore Sisters
Chosen

Valentine’s Day Brings Delight
To Juniors and Freshmen

On Valentine’s Day there was a
whole sack of Agnes Scott private
mail, for each Junior asked a Fresh-
man to be her Sophomore sister for
the coming year. Such squeals of de-
light, parties, and excitement as filled
the day. The tea room was ecrowd-
de with gay parties; everywhere the
new “sisters” were celebrating the
day. Indeed, their excitement almost
obscured the quieter rejoicings of the
old “sisters.”

But the old sisters can wish noth-
ing better for this year’s sisters than
the happiness, good times, and com-
radeship they are enjoying now.

The new sisters are as following:

Miss Alexander Gives
Set of Silver To
Alumnae House

We, who are yet students, and have
not received the coveted diploma, are
always glad to know that Agnes
Scott’s graduates have not forgotten
her—and, indeed, how could they?
Among the many and frequent tok-
ens of interest in her welfare and
progress, is the gift, by Miss Alex-
ander, of a. set of silver to the Alum-
nae House.

Miss Alexander, who is a member
of the class of 1899, is beloved by us
as an Alumna and as a member of
the faculty, and her generous gift is
appreciated, not only by the Alumnae
but by the student body.

The set consists of a half dozen
knives, forks, teaspoons, salad forks,
ice tea spoons, and dessert forks, in
a dainty pattern with a distinctive
design. They are given especially to
the private dining room for use at
parties and dinners. Miss Alexander
selected this design, since it was im-
possible to have the silver engraved
with the monogram of the House—
an entwinement of the initials of the
words “Anna Young Alumnae House”,
and she wanted the silver to be mark-
ed with some distinctive pattern.

Miss Alexander’s thoughtfulness
and generosity has filled one of the
Alumnae House’s greatest needs, and
has given it a lovely silver service of
which every Agnes Scott graduate
and student may be proud. Her Alma
Mater thanks her most. sincerely for
her gift.

Not many years ago it was an easy matter for a college
student to select her vocation, for there were only two or three
vocations open to women. Today, however, there are five hundred
different branches of professions open to women and the choice
is not so easy.

To meet these changing conditions and to enable the student
to find definite information concerning the professions, the col-
leges are opening bureaus for vocational guidance. In past years
there was a definite need for Agnes Scott graduates in the teach-
ing profession, and Agnes Scott helped her students to find po-
sitions in that field. Now, though there is still a need in this
profession, there are many other professions and Agnes Scott
girls are needed as pioneers. To meet this need the Y. W. C. A.
has brought to us this year several speakers on vocational guid-
ance. They have given to the students definite information about
vocations open to women. These range from the professional lines
of law and medicine to advertising, accounting, politics, interior
decoration, library work, literary work and laboratory work, in
fact every line of work.

Knowing that these are open to women, the next step is to
learn something about them, the requirements, the colleges for
further study, if any is needed, the personal characteristics
needed in each line, the chances for success. This second step
the Bureau for Vocational Guidance seeks to answer. There will
be located in the sociology room of the library this information
as soon as it can be obtained and office hours for consultations
will be held.

This is the newest and one of the most interesting things Agnes
Scott has begun this year. We believe that it will mean much

to us as students in giving us a definite goal, and much to Agnes
Scott as her students branch out into many professions and be-
come pioneers in the South in all branches of the business and
professional world open to women.

SENIORS ENTERTAIN SOPHO-| JUNIORS ELECT OFFICERS FOR

MORE SISTERS AT VAL- COMMENCEMENT
ENTINE PARTY

On Saturday night, February 14, a
few Senior sisters gave a perfectly
beautiful party for their Sophomore
sisters. In honor of the first anni-
versary of their choosing their sisters,
these girls gave a bridge and mah-
jongg party. The color scheme of
red and white was appropriately car-
ried out in the decorations and re-
freshments. The rooms, on second
floor of Rebekah, were decorated with
red and white streamers, and in one
of the rooms a hoop hung from the
ceiling laden with a variety of sou-
venirs. The ice cream and cake had
little red hearts on them, so well car-
rying out the Valentine spirit.

Those invited were: Isabelle Fer-
guson, Mary Martha Lybrook, Mar-
garet Hyatt, Virginia Sevier, Fran-
ces Lincoln, Elizabeth Clark, Dorothy
Keith, Ellen Douglass Leyburn, Ann
McKay, Sarah Shields, Georgia May
Little, Nanny Lou Knight, Ella Smith,
Marcia Green, Ellen Walker, Louisa
Howard, Elizabeth Griffin, Mary Da-
vis, Martha Lynn Manley, Peggy
Rankin.

There always seems to be a great
deal of excitement at Agnes Scott
during the month of February. It
might be because mid-term examina-
tions are over and it might be be-
cause spring holidays are in the near
future. But, whatever the cause is,
exciting things are happening, such
as Silhouette leections (the votes
have been counted, but the results
are not to be disclosed until the
publication of the annual) George
Washington Scott’s birthday is to be
celebrated on the twenty-first, and
Senior election for the commence-
ment exercises have taken place. At
the meeting of the Senior Class, the
following girls were eleeted: Georgia
May Little, historian; Ellen Walker,
prophet; Elizabeth Cheatham, poet,
and Emily Spivey, testator. A great
deal of honor accompanies these po-
sitions, and the class of 1925 is to be

congratulated upon the election of
these worthy girls.

THE

PARTY ON TOUR OF EUROPE
THIS SUMMER

Te Visit England, Holland, Scotland,
France, Italy, Switzerland,
Ete.

A gondola and the Grand Canal,
as the sun sinks to rest, snow-cov-
ered Mont Blane, the Castle of Chil-
lon, Monte Carlo, Florence, West-
minster Abbey, Notre Dame, Strass-
bourg, da Vinci’s “The Last Supper,”
Oxford—-who of us mortals is not
blessed with that glorious malady,
the wanderlust ?

And lo, here is a chance to satisfy
it. Miss Gooch, under the business
managemént of Temple Tours, Bos-
ton, Mass., will conduct a party on
a tour of Europe this very summer.
The trip will last fifty-seven days,
and will include England, Scotland,
Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy,
France, and the Rhine. The party
sails from New York on June 20, and
arrives in Liverpool June 28,

Then comes London, the world’s
largest city, with visits to St, Paul's,
British Museum, the Tower, ete:, and
a motor trip to Stratford-on-Avon,
Kenilworth, Oxford, ete. Thence the
party goes to Brussels, the field of
Waterloo, and on to Antwerp. July
10 finds them in Strassbourg and the
15th in Geneva, the seat of the
League of Nations. The tour of
Italy, which now follows, will be un-
usually interesting, including as it
does, Milan, Venice, Florence, Rome,
Genoa and Nice, the gay capital of
the Riviera, paradise of pleasure-
loving tourists. A trip to France,
especially Paris, will close the two-
months’ tour.

Miss Gooch fis well qualified to
conduct a tour of Europe, having
been there many times herself and
being quite familiar with the places
to be visited. Last year she guided a
party of Agnes Scott Alumnae, and
this year she wants to take students.
The price is $945, including all ex-
penses, except passport expense, ex-
tras, as tips, deck chairs and rugs
and personal expenses, as laundry,
postage, purchases. Miss Gooch will
be glad to consult with any one who
is interested in the proposition.

CLASSICAL CLUB PLANS TO
AID GREEK REFUGEES

We sometimes feel that since the
war there have been so many calls
on our generosity that we cannot re-
spond any more. But the Classical
Club is preparing to present to the
student body a cause in which we
are all truly interested, and which
we all would like to help.

This cause is that of the relief of
the one million, five hundred thou-
sand Greeks who have been driven
from the war ravaged districts of
Asia minor to Athens and Corinth
and the surrounding country. Since
the total population of all Greece is
only five millions, this tremendous
influx of refugees has been a terri-
ble strain on its resources. The
American Friends of Greece, an or-
ganization of all those in this coun-
try who are interested in classical
education, is attempting to relieve
the strain on the land which has
made such magnificent contributions
to the art, literature, and philosophy
of the world. They have built rude
homes for the exiles, and workshops
in which the women, weaving their
own cloth, make luncheon sets, bags
and many other aticles, which the
association sells in this country, The
proceeds from the sales go solely to
bettering the conditions of the ref-
ugees.

The Classical Club plans to aid
this work, by having in the near fu-
ture, a sale of some of these ar-
ticles. The matter has not been fi-
nally decided by the club, but they

GLEE CLUB HAS UNUSUALLY
GOOD RECITAL

Last Wednesday evening, at the
weekly recital, the Glee Club had
an unusually good program. The
program was the largest which has
yet been given this season.

Mr. Johnson explained ‘that after
working on notes all fall, most of
the pupils have about succeeded in
getting their yoices into good shape.
This spring will be devoted to build-
ing good repertoires for each pupil.

There was a large crowd present
and it showed its appreciation of
Mrs, Rankin’s and Mrs. Daniel’s
songs especially. Mrs. Rankin sang
Pearl Curran’s “Sonny Boy,” and
“To the Sun.” Mrs. Daniel also sang
a Curran song, “Nocturne.” The Glee
Club enjoyed these numbers very
much.

There has been some misunder-
standing about these weekly recitals.
Many of the girls have wanted to
come but have thought the recitals
open only to Glee Club members.
However, the public is cordially in-
vited to attend these informal pro-
grams every Wednesday evening,

GIDDLE, GOsSsIP

Dear Giddy:—

Isn't life grand, Giddy? And aren’t
Juniors the sweetest people alive—
and specially one—she’s going to be
my Senior sister.

I was so surprised Saturday morn-
ing when I got the most adorable
Valentine you ever saw and it had on
it about being her Sophomore sister
and I nearly cried, I was so happy.
Giddy, what do you reckon all the
people do who don’t have Senior sis-
ters? They miss half the fun in life,
I know. You know how green I was
last fall don’t you? Well, I know ev-
erything now—at least I’m beginning
to and I’m really sophisticated. I feel
like I sure nuff belong.

But there’s one thing I don’t know,
Giddy. What's a “vegetable” or “veg-
etative”’ person? I heard some girls
talking the other day and they’d just
come from Miss Dexter’s class and
they laughed and said she made some
remark about a person being vegeta-
tive. I was ashamed to ask what it
meant, but I do want to know.

Another reason it’s so good to be
alive is because of birthdays. I wish
mine would hurry and come. Down
here everybody’s lovely to you when
you have one and give you a party
an’ everything. I guess though I
wouldn’t get flowers liké a lot of
girls do ‘cause there’s no one to send
them.

Evelyn Sprinkle had one—a birth-
day—this week and she got the most
gorgeous roses you ever saw. There

were thirteen in the dozen, too. And |

Nell Buchanan! Why you'd have
thought the Alumnae house had a
hot house connected with it—there
were flowers everywhere. I hate to
get old though and I am—awfully
old. Why U’ll be 18 on my next birth-
day, but they say that some of the
girls here are actually twenty!
Imagine being that old. I bet they
have a lot of gray hairs in their
head.

I wrote you about Isabel Clarke
one time didn’t I? Well in chemistry
the other day she asked just as se-
rious as you please, “What makes a
battery wear out when it won't
bat?” I should think she’d have had
better sense than that.

Two girls went over to the tea-
room the other night and ate a
whole supper of fried oysters—each
plate was piled about six inches high
and they ate every one. I won't
tell you who they were though be-
cause it would embarrass them. They
surely did smell good—the oysters.

Is it very cold up there, Giddy?
The other morning all the radiators
froze here and every room was as
cold as blue blazes. We didn’t mind
so much though when they had to
give us a cut in lab because it was
so cold. All the gold fish froze, but
they thawed out later and even some

girl’s sweaters froze—at least they
said they did. Anyway it was awful
cold and the only way to keep half
warm was to sit on a radiator which
wasn’t frozen.

Oh yes! I was ’bout to forget it.

MR. BLANSHARD DELIGHTS
AUDIENCE; THE LABOR PROB-
LEM HIS SUBJECT

just participation in the control of
their economic destinies.

The public, according to Mr. Blan-
shard, has a right to demand that
the progress of the laborers be or-
derly, and that arbitrations be sub-
stituted for strikes wherever possi-
ble. That the strike is the horror
both of the laborer and of the labor
leader, however, is not generally
realized. It is the only weapon of
the wage earners, and is used with
great reluctance.

The public has conceded the right
of the working man for an honest
day’s pay in return for an honest
day’s work, but feels that he should
not receive any more than he has
earned. But it has not yet applied
this rule to the capitalist class.

The platform for labor improve-
ment was then delineated by Mr.
Blanshard, and the “collective bar-
gaining plank” especially empha-
sized. The laborer should be al-
lowed to organize and “kick” against
injustice. Other planks were the
eight-hour day, minimum wage, and
protection of leaders against injunc-
tions during strikes.

There is at present interest in and
desire for building a new social or-
der. Struggle can be prevented by
the rebuilding of the present indus-
trial system through granting these
altogether reasonable demands of
the laborers, The college student
can be of great assistance in doing
this, for he has the technical knowl-
edge necessary. Our colleges should
not be experimental laboratories, but
places of preparation for service, in
answering the human side of the la-
bor problem.

Mr. Blanshard so pleased his au-
dience that Miss Hearon had him re-
turn to the campus Saturday and
lecture to her history classes at the
class hours. He again demonstrated
his mastery of the subject, and was
especially interesting on the British
labor movement, of which he has
made a thorough study.

MISS ANN STEPHENS SPEAKS
AT CHAPEL
(Continued from Page 1, Column 2)

They must have a willingness to
learn, and not consider that the col-
lege diploma means that they know
all. This period of apprenticeship
must be served, and the more willing-
ly and open-mindedly it is served, the
greater the possibilities for the fu-
ture,

Miss Stephens urges that we should
not fear to enter new fields, and thus
develop new occupations for women.
Many occupations for women are
yearly added to the list, and all have
been started by some one. Also, un-
crowded fields offer advantages to
the enterprising woman.

There is no reason, Miss Stephens
ended, why a successful and satisfac-
tory future should not await an
earnest college graduate, who has
systematically chosen her vocation.

CRITICISMS OF THE
AURORA

Mr. DuBose Heyward, it will be
well remembered, called the Poetry
Number of our “Aurora”, issued last
spring, “the best single issue of a col-
lege magazine that I have ever seen.”
While we consider this critcism of
Mr. Heyward the best compliment we
could receive, yet it is interesting to
note what others, too, say of our
magazine. Below are printed two ap-
preciations of the November “Aurora”
from college magazines.

“The Aurora” presents its usual
well-balanced content of short stories,
poems, and essays. The editorial on
the anti-intellectual tendency of our
generation is striking in its accusa-
tion and excellent in technique, al-
though we do not agree with the
views of the editor. The plot of “His
Leading Lady” is not complicated but
the story is well written and, like the
poetry of the issue, it is rich in color
and artistic in conception, “The Dra-
matic in Contemporary English Po-
etry” is a well-organized study of
modern poetry, and it contains an in-
teresting idea which offers the possi-
bility of further investigation.”

—The Winthrop Journal, December.

“The Aurora,” from Agnes Scott
College, is fortunate in its combina-
tion of several types of material. The
poetry was entirely enjoyable, “Kin-
ship” well deserved the first place
in the magazine and “Edges of Au-
tumn” expressed a number of grace-
ful figures. For a November issue,
“Prayer” was very appropriate. Two
such well developed short stories as
“Kentucky” and “His Leading Lady”
are seldom found in one college mag-
azine. The essay on “The Dramatic in
Contemporary English Poetry” show-
ed considerable research and compre-
hensive thinking. We really enjoyed
the lighter essays best of anything in
the magazine. “Tree Notches” ex-
pressed an idea we have often wished
someone would develop, and “Umbrel-
las” aroused a sympathetic feeling.
Of the rest of the contents, “On Being
a Big Sister” stood apart particularly
good. We cannot help questioning
the place of alumnae contributions in
a magazine published by undergradu-
ates,”

The morning watch services
brought the members of the confer-

ship in the quiet of early day. The
opportunity for personal interviews
with the leaders was one of the great-

was also allotted for denominational
group meetings and delegation meet-

The spirit of the conference was
one of love, service, fellowship, and
high ideals. It gave us a great desire
to follow in the footsteps of the Mas-

The vocational guidance depart-
ment of the Y. W. C. A. is planning
to form a Bureau of Vocational In-
formation where the students may

obtain information concerning the
vocation in which they are inter-
ested,

This bureau is to have office hours
after it has learned from the stu-
dents just which occupation they
want to know about and as soon as
the information can be obtained.

There will be a vocational library
in the sociology room in the library,
and office hours will be held there.

The committee also hopes to ob-
tain a form of questionnaire which
will enable the students to find out
to a certain extent what work they
are best fitted for.

The committee consists of Miss
Davis, Miss Randolph, Florence Per-
kins, Marcia Green and Virginia
Peeler, and they hope to be of the
most service possible. They enlist
your cooperation in telling them in
what vocations you are interested, and

in using the information when ob-
tained.

Student Life
In Germany

Although it is far from my task
or intention to tell a fairy tale, al-
low me to begin with a “There was
once”, Indeed, there was once a
eare-free, joyous, over-joyous stu-
dent life in Germany, Days and
nights and whole semesters of the
first academie years of a German
student passed as an endless celebra-
tion of freedom, academic freedom,
and youth. The streets of the small
old university towns like Tubingen,
Marburg, Heidelberg and so many
others echoed and re-echoed the songs
about students’ glory. The little win-
dows of the small houses reflected
the flames of torch-light processions
in honor of a learned scholar’s jubilee
or of the newly-elected rector mag-
nificus. Songs of the wandering stu-
dents greeted castles and ruins on the
hills and barges slowly gliding down
the rivers and streams. The German
student could, or believed he could,
afford those splendid years of dolce
far niente. It was not necessary for
him to follow a strict program, out-
lined for him by the faculty, and at-
tend lectures and seminaries, at least
not in the first ones of his eight to
ten semesters of study. or those
who became members of student cor-
porations, by their own free will or
by father’s will, who in his universi-
ty days had been a member of the
same corporation, it seemed of far
greater importance to attend all the
strictly codified activities of his cor-
poration, which pretty well filled up
his days and part of his nights too.

These corporations are essentially
pre-war institutions. Their history
goes in many cases back to pre-
Napoleonic times, and their rules,
often to a stranger of a ridiculous
strictness and pedantry, are every-
thing else than modern, before all
their code of behavior towards their
fellow-students and towns-people and
their elaborate drinking rules. Most
conspicuous among them are the
“combatting and color-wearing”’ cor-
porations, the so-called “Corps”, “Tur-
nerschaffen”, etc., which enumeration,
by the way indicates roughly what
silly neople in more than one country
call social standing. Their members
wear many-colored caps and ribbons
of the same colors around their
breasts. Though public opinion and
the police have tried for a long time
to suppress duelling, they still have
their “mensuren”, generally harmless,
but by no means bloodless, affairs.
This fighting usually takes place be-
tween selected members of corpora-
tions of the same category. There
is nearly no danger for the life of
the combatants. They are protected
by leather armors, bandeges, and
strong spectacles and expose only
cheeks and forehead to the long,
straight sword of the opponent. The
wounds inflicted are mere slight cuts
of the more or less pink skin, and

the whole procedure reminds the an-
thropologist more than anything else
of the initiation rites of South Sea
aborigines where similar cuttings oc-
cur. The object of this fighting is to
teach the young man mastership of
his nerve system and is regarded as
of no small educational value. Not
very much of athletic skill is shown
in these affairs. Far more serious
than these pre-arranged “mensuren”
are duels with curved swords, fought
out to wash off some offense of mostly
imaginary character, for the “color-
student” feels easily offended, at least
when intoxicated.

These “color-students” claimed to
be the very core of German student-
hood and liked to look a bit conde-
scendingly to the other corporations
as existed besides their own and
whose members and varieties were up
to 1914 and now again as innumerable
as the states within the Holy Roman
Empire. Among them are Christian
fraternities, singing societies, scien-
tific and athletie organizations, groups
of the youth movement as the “Wan-
dervogel” (migrating birds) and the
big mass of the non-corporated stu-
dents, all of them much more in con-
tact with real life of the day and
less tended to exercise that fine but
dangerous art in which so many Ger-
mans are masters, ie., of denying
reality somehow and speaking about
“Realpolitik” at the same time. Most
of these corporations have survived
the war-time or have been re-founded
since. Their number and variety has
even increased since the war. Poli-
ties have entered the halls of every
“alma mater’ where they were for-

bidden before, and every party of
some importance has its student
groups.

After three or four semesters of
this gay corporation life, which the
non-corporated students mostly used
for a general study, for wandering
and climbing in the mountains, the
student went as a rule over to anoth-
er university. Here he sat down to
real work in seminaries, laboratories,
infirmaries, and his more or less mod-
estly furnished room. As an “elder
semester” he had to specialize his
work and now became a real pupil of
his professor before whom he intend-
ed to pass his examinations, which,
though far less in number than in
American universities, were by no
means easy. The curve of midnight
oil consumption rose tremendously.
Sometimes, mostly among the law
students, the aid of a coach was
needed in order to help the candidate
through.

The war and its revolutionary se-
quel put an end to this rather care-

free existence. The larger part of the
students returning to the universities
after their war service, in order to|
finish or begin their studies, had soon,
to learn that their parents could no.
longer send the monthly allowance on
which to live. Fortunes and incomes
were wiped out by the depreciation
of the mark. Need and even hunger
showed their hideous faces and forced
many a gifted young man to give
up his academic plans. Those who
stayed had to work their own way
through and had to do it mostly by
the work of their hands, for there
was a large over-supply of brain-
workers and in post-war Germany
mental work was badiy paid. These
hard necessities brought forth the
working student, a type long familiar
in the Anglo-Saxon countries but un-
heard of in Germany, as in most
of the other Continental countries.

Rapidly founded organizations, oft-
en helped by foreign funds, furnished
employment for students on the farms
during the harvest season, in factories
and coal and potash mines. Finally
in the summer semester of 1922, 42
per cent. of the university students,
62 per cent. of those studying at tech-
nical colleges, and 88 per cent. of
the future mining engineers had be-
come working students. Self-help or-
ganizations in nearly all university
towns, with the Wirtschaftshilfe
(Students’ Co-operative Economie As-
sociation) as their center, opened
dining-rooms, workshops, sale-rooms,
loan banks, and tried their best to
bring the working student through
these years of hardship. It is only
too obvious that very often their help
must fall short in face of all the
prevailing distress.

As the gloomy picture of these
times has been painted often enough
by foreign observers, I may better be
allowed to point out what the Ger-
man student gained, and I venture to
hope, permanently gained, from his
experience during this time. Though
perhaps the standard of learning of
the average student may have gone
down somewhat beneath pre-war stan-
dards, he has had a new experience
which may be judged as outweighing
this loss, an experience that has
positively become part of his educa-
tion. He has been brought into con-
tact with the life of the workingmen
in the factory and the mine and on
the field.

Mrs. Smith was pleased to call the
problem, is fostered even in childhood
by ambitious parents.

We tell our children to study so
that they may beat others in class.
This is the beginning of the destruc-
tively critical attitude which threatens
to be the curse of our youth, Youth
today is bound by so few traditions
of the past that, says Mrs. Smith,
“neither man nor God escape in the
critical attitude of modern youth.”
And with the sharpening of their crit-
ical faculties, young people are be-
eoming subjective, ready to condemn.
“A true friend,” an Arab proverb
goes, “is not an echo, but a thistle
in the side.’ But this wisdom is
quite perverted. Certainly it must be
unpleasant to live with “a thistle,”
and, if one looks for faults in his
friends he will always find them.
Speaking from her own experience,
Mrs. Smith declared that, at the be-
ginning of her career as a religious
worker she was prone to criticize
ministers, schools, Christian Endeayor
meetings, ete., and one day, when she
was in the act of criticizing, an el-
derly gentleman said to her “My
child, you're trying to measure the
whole world by your own narrow
yardstick.” A little later she saw
somewhere this inscription:

“My mind is prone to criticize the
petty faults I see,

If only I could realize my biggest
job is me.”

Such is the condition of the college
student. She comes to college to pre-
pare for the vocation of living, to get
“a true sense of values.” Instead,
she often acquires critical habits, and

Decatur Fine Arts Club
Meets at Agnes Scott

Oriental Program Presented

welcome

last week.

The Decatur Fine Arts Club held
a very unique meting in Propylean
Hall on Tuesday evening, February
17. The Oriental program was most
picturesque, composed of Oriental
songs, dances and readings.

Mr. George B. Hinman opened the
evening by reading a selection from
“Lala Ruk,” an old Arabian tale. It
appropriately urged all to abondon
themselves to the spirit of Arabia.

Miss Moore, accompanied by Mrs.
Hinman, rendered several character-
istically beautiful and mystic songs,
including “I'll Sing the Songs of
Araby,” and “Persian Love Song.”

Mr. Hinman told the club Arabian
tales from “Sinbad the Sailor,” “The
Butterfly That Stamped,’ “How the
Rhinoceros got Its Skin,” and two
Japanese fairy tales, “Origin of the
Jelly Fish,’ and "Origin of Fire
Flies.”

Egyptian dances, rendered by pu-
pils of Miss Nellie Sullivan, com-
pleted the delightful oriental program.

After adjourning the members vis-
ited the faculty parlor, where many
exquisite etchings were exhibited.

Calendar for March

Triangular Debate and Spring
Holidays Main Features

Another month of our school year
gone and we turn over our calendar
from February to March. The first
five days we will fele the vibrant joy
of spring and hear the lion’s roar of
the March winds.

March 7—Then at this opportune
time when we are dreaming of sum-
mer, on March 7, the Athletic Board
will give an entertainment for the
benefit of the swimming pool cam-
paign.

March 14—The Juniors give one of
their enjoyable and unusual entertain-
ments.

March 20—Issues in that eagerly
expected day, the date for the inter-
collegiate debate. At the mention of
March 20, the pulses quicken and the
college en masse thrills with tense ex-
citement.

March 21—The Blackfriars
another treat in store for the college,
a three-act comedy, “Breezy Point,”
to be presented on Saturday night.

March 27—A day sacred to the
hearts of Agnes Scott students and
looked forward to since January 2. On
that date we will bid the college fare-
well for several days, and forsake
books and studies until April 2.
Spring holidays are almost as fine
as the “Christmas ones, except, of
course, they lack Santa Claus, but he
can’t come only once a year, and so
we fill this time with the joys and
pleasures of spring.

Mr. Blanshard
Addresses
History Classes

have

The members of Miss Hearon’s his-
tory 13 and history 8 classes were
fortunate enough to hear Mr. Blan-
shard again, Saturday morning, Feb-
ruary 14. The subject of his lecture
to History 13 was “The Labor Lead-
er and His Problems,” and the theme
of his talk to History 8 was, “The
Labor Unions in England.” He de-
voted the latter part of each period
to answering eager questions asked
by the students and visitors,

In his lecture about the labor lead-
ers, Mr. Blanshard dispelled the il-
lusion often held that they are para-
sites fattening on the hard-earned
wages of the workers. The average
salary paid when wages everywhere
were highest was only $500 per year.
Leaders usually supplement their sal-
aries by money earned at some other
occupation, although Mr. Blanshard
pointed out that the working man
could not be so efficient a leader on
account of his lack of independence.

He went on to show how discour-
aging is the task of the labor or-
ganizer. When workers have been
“fired” for joining a union, when
they lose a strike, or when their
leader opposes going on a strike as
inexpedient and unadvisable, his pop-
ularity wanes considerably in that
section. Employers hate to see a
labor organizer enter a town and
often try to bribe him to leave. Al-
though there are black sheep in this
profession as well as in others, the
men who enter it usually have high
principles and are not out for mone-
tary success anyway, so the attempted
bribery generally fails. Often times,
too, the labor organizer has to de-
fend himself against physical vio-
lence, and, sometimes, he is arrested.
The leaders as a class are willing to
go through these hardships in order

Seniors Celebrate
Washinegton’s Birthday

Famous Colonial Characters At
Dinner

Once again, February 22, came to
pay its annual visit and brought with
it a nation-wide celebration of the
birthday of George Washington, the
At Agnes
Scott the celebration was a double
one, being in honor of George Wash-
ington, and also of George Wiashing-
ton Scott, the founder of our college.
All reverence and esteem is due to
both of these men, for, as America is
the proof of the indomitable spirit of
our first president, Agnes Scott is
the symbol of the vision and foresight
of George Washington Scott.

Six o’clock dinner was served in
both dining rooms on February 21,
which was chosen as the holiday. Red,
white and blue, the colors of our flag,
had changed our ordinary dining
rooms into veritable salons. A tiny
cherry tree was planted’ in the cen-
ter of each table, and the white can-
dles cast a mellow glow over the
snowy cloths. A hush fell over the
room, as the door opened and the
Seniors, dressed in colonial costume
and led by George Washington and
Martha, entered and took their places
at a long table in the center of the
room. White wigs, gaily-colored
dresses with hoop-skirts, black suits
with knee breeches, square-toed shoes
with shiny buckles, dainty slippers,
black beauty spots on fair cheeks, the
flutter of fans, a general air of gra-
ciousness and hospitality took us back
to the far away days just after the
Revolution—to a time when every
man was gallant and every lady fair,
to a time when romance and adven-
ture held sway.

Washington addressed his guests
and extended to them a gracious wel-
come in behalf of himself and Mrs.
Washington. During the course of the
delightful dinner, other speeches
were made by some of the distinguish-
ed guests present. Among those who
spoke on this occasion were: Thomas
Jefferson, Patrick Henry, Benjamin
Franklin, Betsy Ross, LaFayette,
Francis Scott Key and Daniel Boone.
Songs were sung to the Seniors by
theix Sophomore sisters, who were
seated at a table on the other side
of the dining room, and a deep and
heartfelt response came from the
Seniors in answer to their little sis-
ters. When the dinner was over, all
stood up and sang “Alma Mater,” and
many a senior had to force back the
tears as she realized how short a time
was left before she would be “far
from the reach of the sheltering arms”
of her Agnes Scott.

After dinner all were invited to a
dance in the gym. The stately and
graceful minuet was the chief fea-
ture of the evening, and all enjoyed
seeing the ladies and gentlemen of
colonial days perform this charming
dance. Other dances were for all,
and delightful music was furnished
by the orchestra until a late hour.

Those taking part in the minuet
were:

Gentlemen Gertrude Henry,
Frances Lincoln, Mary Ann McKin-
ney, Georgia May Little, Frances
Bitzer, Bryte Daniel, Margaret Hines,
and Eugenia Thompson.

Ladies—Mildred Pitner, Margaret
Hyatt, Mary Kessler, Jacqueline Rol-
ston, Mary Breedlove, Eugenia Per-
kins, Frances Tennent, Ellen Walker.

Mr. Venable and Mrs.

Mason Offer Agnes

Scott Use of Private
Camp

Cottage Across Lake Given
College Campers For Spring

Pine Lodge furnished an untold
amount of pleasure to week-end
campers during the fall months, and
of course with the coming of spring
it will bring greater joy than ever.
So it was with disappointment that
many anticipant groups learned that
they could not go to camp this sem-
ester, on account of the scarcity of
week-ends and lack of cottage space.
Just as in securing a site for our A.
S. C. hut, however, Mr, Venable and
Mrs. Mason came to our aid. This
time their generosity and good will
exceeds the granting of grounds for
our lodge. Mr. Venable has offered
us the use of his private cottage for
week-end parties.

This cottage is situated across the
lake from ours, and is all furnished
except for the cooking utensils. Now
all students who wished to sign up
for our camp but were unable to do
so, may see Eleanor Albright and ar-
range to spend a week-end at this hut
of Mr, Venable. In order to be fair
to all campers, the regular fee of
twenty-five cents per week-end must
be paid by each person going to camp.
The money will go toward buying the
kitchen furnishings. The regulations
will be the same for both camps, and
parties are urged to take especial
care of Mr. Venable’s property.

‘The evfire “S!leg cbmmunity~ap-
preciates this kindness of Mrs. Ma-
son and Mr, Venable, and we are as-
sured that the cottage will be a
source of unlimited pleasure for
Agnes Scott campers.

Dr. McGeochy
Well-Known
Trustee

Dr. D. P. MeGeochy, as pastor of
the Presbyterian girls at Agnes
Scott, is probably the best known of
our trustees. All his life he has been
very interested in education, and has
been active in that field.

He was born in Robeson county,
North Carolina, and attended a local
high school in preparation for college.
He graduated from Davidson College
and then from Owin Seminary in Rich-
mond, Virginia. Later, the honorary
degree of Doctor of Divinity was con-
ferred on him by Davidson.

Dr. MecGeochy’s first pastorate
work was done in North Carolina,
where he was pastor of Home Mis-
sion Churches in Perdu County, From
there he went to fill the pastorate of
a Presbyterian church in Lenoir,
North Carolina, and then to Lewis-
burg, West Virginia, to be minister
of Old Stone Presbyterian Church.
He also acted as moderator of the
Synod of West Virginia, in the year
1917.

In 1918 he came to Decatur, and
since he has been here, he has con-
tinued his active interest in the edu-
cational field. While in Perdu county
he also served as superintendent of
the county schools. Besides being a
trustee of Agnes Scott, he is a trus-
tee of Mitchell College, Statesville,
North Carolina, and Lee McRae In-
stitute, Banner Ells, North Carolina.
He has served as special agent for
the educational committee in the
Synod of. West Virginia, and was also
a member of the general assembly’s

advisory committee. on education,
1916-1918.
Dr. MeGeochy has taken especial

interest in the extension work of his
church. Perhaps his greatest activi-
ties in this field have been in the

and Elizabeth
announced as the
newly-elect members of Gamma Tau
Alpha on Tuesday morning, January
17. While we waited impatiently,
Mr. Holt explained fully and in de-
tail the custom of keeping back the
real news, and enjoyed watching our
tenseness as each possible climax was
reached and passed, He inspired all
with the high ideals of Gamma Tau,
with their combination of scholastic
attainment and personality. Without
doubt both Margery and Blizabeth
have lived up to these ideals and are
quite worthy of the honor. As the

members of the society marched out
in cap and gown, everyone stood and
sang “Alma Mater.” Sincere congrat-
ulations and rejoicing have been given
our two honored Seniors, who are both
popular members of the class of ’25.
On Tuesday night initiations were
held in Propylean Hall. What took
place is shrouded in mystery. After-
wards, a banquet was given in the
Alumni House.

The decorations were in yellow and
white. A silver basket of jonquils and
pussywillows formed the centerpiece.
The place cards wer ornamented with
the Greek letters of the society. Ev-
eryone enjoyed the jokes and fun,
while a delicious menu was Se Veu.

Agnesi Mathematics
Club Meets

Interesting Study of Snow
Crystals

If you are one of those people who
can see no charms in the sunny South
in midwinter, and who long for the
bracing winds and scurrying snow
flakes of the North, you should have
attended the meeting of the Mathe-
maties club on last Tuesday. Winter
reigned there in all his white glory.

Through the instrumentality of
Miss Howson, over one hundred slides
of snow flakes, dew drops, and frost
were produced from Mr. W. A. Bent-
ley, of Jericho, Vermont. Mr. Bent-
ley has devoted forty years of his
life to the study of the unseen won-
ders which nature produces with snow
and ice. He has taken thousands of
photographs of the exquisite designs
of snowflakes and the jewelled dew-

drop ornaments on blades of grass and

flowers. One of his most interesting
discoveries is the fact that each snow
erystal has an individual design, no
two being alike.

Mr. Bentley’s work is the subject of
an article in the February issue of
the American Magazine. This article
is illustrated by many beautiful
photographs, and anyone who reads
it, will find it intensely interesting.

The snow crystals and dewdrops
which were thrown on the screen were

THOUGHTS ON STUDYING.

Gamma Tau Alpha announcements provoke serious thinking
as to what it is that really matters in our college life. Certain of
our schoolmates have recently been honored for attaining some-
thing that Agnes Scott deems of prime importance. What is it
that they have attained? What would Alma Mater have us learn
at her feet? If we should ask of many students what they seek
in a college education, perhaps we should be able to unravel from
the varied replies something like the following: An indefinable
spirit, or quality of mind, that will give us power to understand
the world and ourselves. The true purpose of a college education
is the acquisition of such a spirit or quality of mind—eall it
culture, “enlightenment of mind”, “ability to estimate values cor-
rectly”, or what you will. It is that which enables a man to
remain serenely undisturbed when prattlers predict the end of
time, to find in the fall of Greece and Rome warnings for modern
civilization, to choose his friends on a basis of worth, not nation-
ality, social standing, or denomination.

But, being placed in college and told to learn, how shall we go
about acquiring illumination of mind? Undoubtedly, clear vision
depends on knowledge. We cannot hope for correct perceptions
unless we have a broad foundation of facts on which to base our
estimates. We do not mean to state that simply a knowledge of
facts produces enlightenment of mind. One may know that all
life is a continual stream of protoplasm, without recognizing the
insignificance of man; or one may stand before the pyramids and
observe their vastness, without dreaming of the master mind
behind them. Knowledge is not a guarantee, but rather, a pre-
requisite of a cultured mind.

Our goal is culture; our prerequisite, knowledge; but how to
get knowledge? The answer is plain—by studying. Ah yes,
there is the rub, the same old problem—studying. Certainly, in
the abstract, we all admit that the chief purpose of students in
an institution of learning is to study. Intellectual curiosity,
scholarship, mental alertness—high-sounding words; but we,
mental sluggards by nature, hurried pitilessly through whole
courses before we have time to realize their meaning, hurried by
Latin verbs and history notes, preferring a chocolate tan to the
choicest bit of Browning, “sickled o’er with the pale cast of
thought”, what have we to do with intellectual curiosity ?

In attempting to find a live motive for studying, a high school
editor once cleverly tried to prove that conscientious pupils have

more pleasure than neglectful ones. They have the pleasure of a
clear conscience the night before classes, he says, and the joy
of superiority during classes. Perhaps they do; but the pleasure
of self-satisfaction and of superiority is scarcely a worthy motive
to stir a true student on to study. We should be impelled to
study by a longing for enlightenment of mind, the mark of a
cultivated man. But such a longing it is well-nigh impossible to
keep always before the mind, through the heat of a college life,
through the strain and hurry of tests and examinations. We
need some other force to keep us going when these, our light-
house aims, are faint. This force is supplied through a prayer-
ful will, whose power will increase with exercise. But often, if we
are bound to our books only by force of will, we may miss the
real appreciation of what we study from the mere effort of keep-
ing ourselves concentrated. And so we should try to arouse a
vital interest in the subject, to deem it the most important thing
in the world for these two hours during which we study, to live
the experience it depicts. We should kneel before the altar at
St. Peter’s with Charlemagne, discover the law of gravity with
Newton, and ride to Canterbury with Chaucer. With desire for
enlightenment, with will-power, and with interest in our work, the
ideal of culture is gradually realized.

Illumination of mind—it is not an easy task we set before
ourselves. It rises like a mountain, bleak and steep, with few
level places on which we may rest. On the Phi Beta Kappa key
is a hand pointing to a star. “Ad astra per adversa”. Ah, well,
perhaps we should not want the stars, were they not so far away.

B. O. Z. STIMULATED BY HEY-
WARD’S VISIT

The B. O. Z. meeting with Grace
Augusta Ogden on Monday night,
Jan. 16, served to indicate that the in-
spiration of Mr. and Mrs. Heyward’s
talks on creative work was not just
temporary. For in spite of tests, pa-
pers and coming debates, three stories
were read. “Maid of the Mist” was a
delightful and tragic story of a misty
green marble, a chiffon dress and a
broken dream. The others were an
interesting and true-to-life love story
by Virginia Hollingsworth, and the
story of some mis-sent valentines, by
Margaret Tufts.

After a discussion of the stories, in
which the members promised to be
“brutally frank,” in their criticisms,
delicious refreshments of sandwiches
and nuts were served.

AGNES SCOTT GIRLS HEAR
YELLOW JACKET QUARTET
OVER RADIO

Several Agnes Scott girls persuaded
Miss Howson to let them listen in
over the radio at science hall last
week, on the concert given by the
Yellow Jacket quartet of Georgia
Tech from 9 to 10 o’clock.

Mr. Al Holder was the successful
leader of the four songsters, and Mr.
Bill Walton, who played some popular
piano solos, was the accompanist. The
music was very much enjoyed by these
Agnes Scott girls, especially “Let
Me Call You Swetheart,” which was
requested by them over the telephone.

BLACKFRIARS WILL
THREE-ACT COMEDY

Blackfriars will present its annual
spring play on March 21. “Breezy
Point,” is a comedy in three acts,
written by Belle Locke, which will
fairly make you roar with laughter.
The characters of the play are thir-
teen females, and Miss Gooch has
east rloes with her usual power of keen
discernment. Her spring play is one
which Blackfriars is always particu-
larly anxious to interpret well, and
this comedy promises to be no excep-
tion.

The cast is as follows:

Aunt Derby Dexter—Georgia Mae
Little.

Elinor Pearl—Elizabeth Cheatham.

Ashrael Grant—Anne McKay.

Mrs. Hardscratch—Louisa Duls.

MEETING OF PI ALPHA PHI

At the regular meeting of Pi Alpha
Phi on Thursday night a very inter-
esting debate was held on the eco-
nomic phase of the subject: Resolved,
That the Selective Immigration Act
of 1924 is For the Best Interest of
the United States. The affirmative
was upheld by Dorothy Keith and
Catherine Graeber, and the negative,
by Pocahontas Wight and Ruth Lig-
gin. Very good arguments were ad-
vanced by both sides.

This debate and two more that will
be held next week on other phases of
this same subject are preliminaries
for the intercollegiate debate that is
to take place in the third week of
March. Our two regular teams will
debate against each other with prac-
tically the same arguments that will
be used against Sophie-Newcomb, and
Randolph-Macon later.

AT TEA

Miss Hearon and Miss Campbell
entertained the Agnes Scott faculty
and others of their friends at a
charming tea given in the Alumnae
House last Thursday afternoon, Feb-
ruary 19. The Alumnae House, gay
with daffodils and paper white nar-
cissi, breathed the first perfume of
spring that has floated to our cam-
pus this year. The tea was perhaps
given in honor of the dawning spring;
we have been able to find no other
motive, unless, indeed, as some one
has suggested, Miss Campbell had
“wot a box from home” and wished
to share it with the rest of the fac-
ulty. Judging’ from the refresh-
ments, Miss Campbell did receive a
box from home, for old Virginia dain-

Students at Furman University, 8.
C., will soon have the privilege of

seeing some of the American army
aviators who circled the globe by air
last summer. Two members of that
famous crew will come to Furman on
March 7, to exhibit their machine,
some pictures and themselves.

The history department of the
Louisiana State University has re-
cently started a museum, following
the receipt of several novel donations.
The collection includes: A diary of the
Civil War, containing music and
poems of the trials and hopes of the
Southern people; a French ritual re-
vealing the secrets of the post-war
Ku Klux Klan; three pieces of Spanish
money dated 1814, 1819, 1821; a copy
of the Planter’s Gazette of Plaque-
mine in 1844.

“The finest pieces of manhood and
womanhood that serve our country as
statesmen, that lead society as moral
guides, that serve as the pillars and
posts of our churches, that stand as
examples of motherhood and father-
hood, have all passed through the fire
of toil, study and difficulty. They
have been misunderstood, misrepre-
sented, unappreciated, and slighted;
but they preserved, they let go the
dross and clung to the real mettle of
manhood and the fine fibre of woman-
hood.”—Exchange.

What does the undergraduate read?
From Columbia University: Within a
few hundred feet of the great library
which shelters a world famous collec-
tion of 800,000 volumes under a tow-
er of masonry, a spectator discovered
that a campus subway news dealer
disposes of 600 copies of each issue of
“True Story,” while he finds it un-
profitable to keep a single copy of
the “Bookman.” One hundred and
fifty people walk out of a certain
bookstore, near the campus, with
“Snappy Stories,” “Adventure,” etc.,
but 75 purchase “intellectual” mag-
azines. It is interesting to note that,
among the latter class, the “American
Mercury” ranks first and the “At-
mantic Monthly” come second.

THE

GIDDIE, GGSSIP

Thursday Night.
Dearest Giddy:—
Giddy, you’re the biggest nuisance
I ever saw. You think I’m going to
do all the writing and you just drop
me a note every now and then—and
I won’t stand for it. This is the last
nice letter I’m going to write you un-
less you write me some that are just
as good—hear? I’m tired of doing all
the correspondence.

Even if I am peeved with you tho’
I wish you were going to be here for
Saturday night. It’s going to be so
cute and exciting. Of course, I never
have been before to a George Wash-
ington celebration—here, I mean, but
all the old girls say it’s perfectly love-
ly. The Seniors all dress like George
and Martha and Patrick Henry and
all and make speeches and every-
thing. Don’t you imagine they are
excited? I know I should be. (Now in
a case like that would you say should
or would, Giddy?)

The other day we most had a trag-
edy here, and guess what in?—the
swimming pool. It’s so small, can’t
but about four people go in at the
time. However, when it happened—the
tragedy, I mean—Katherine Houston
was one of the four and I don’t know
just how it happened ’cause the wa-
ter isn’t anywhere over your head but
anyway she lost her balance and
spluttered ’round several times, going
under twice and got everybody there
all excited and then Sarah Shields
jumped in and rescued her. 1] guess
Katherine wasn’t much the worse for
it tho’ because I saw her out the very
next day.

And the funniest thing happened
in trig last Friday. You know Mary
Perkinson, don’t you? Well, she up

and asked Margaret Gunn who wrote
the first trig book and Margaret told
her Mr. Wentworth Smith! I guess
she never had studied much about the
ancients like we did in High School.

Giddy, it surely is a good thing that
all Sophomores are required to take
hygiene because do you know that
one girl—or maybe two didn’t know
the difference between Isocretes and
the Aesophogus? Hazel Huff asked
Gladys Patz who Aesophogus was and
Gladys said “I don’t know, who was
he?” And another time Dr. Sweet
asked what a vitamine was and some-
body said it was a patent medicine!
Why, Giddy, I even know more than
that.

Let me tell you something Mr. Diek-
man said in one of his music classes
the other day and then I must stop
and do Latin Prose again. I feel like
saying “girls can come and girls can
go but Latin Prose goes on forever,”
and then some. But anyway, Mr.
Diekman was singing a tune to illus-
trate something—you know by say-
ing “la-la-la-la-la,” and when he got
through he said, “Now that’s not dra-
matic but it’s pretty singing.” Well
everybody in the class nearly died
laughing—of course, he meant the
piece he was illustrating but it sound-
ed like what he meant was his sing-
ing. And then he went on to say that
the funeral marches were very pop-
ular music.

But I must stop Giddy. I could
rave on all night but I mustn’t this
time and I won’t next time—or even
write this much if you don’t write
me one just as good as this.

Peeved, but still yours,
AGGIE.

‘to better the condition of our work-
ers.

In his second talk of the morning,
Mr. Blanshard contrasted the prog-
ress of labor unions in England and
‘in the United States. A much larger
proportion of the workers belong to
the unions, and a great many more
trades and professions have ‘been or-
ganized in England. Some of the
finest men in England are definitely
allied with the labor movement—
Bernard Shaw and Bertram Russell,
for instance—and the laborers ex-
ercise a greater political power.

One of the unusual features of the
British Labor movement, is their
giant cooperative, which started out
as a cooperative grocery store, but
has now grown to embrace nearly all
branches of industry. It owns its
own factories, stores, ships and
sources of raw materials, and can
supply at less cost than other pro-
ducers. It is owned and controlled
by several million workers, each of
whom has an equal voice in its man-
agement, The English working
man’s condition has been mitigated
to a great degree by this agency. Al-
though chiefly on account of the
vaster extent of our area, such a co-
operative would not be so feasible*tin
our country. Mr. Blanshard used it
as an example of how much it is to
the laborer’s advantage to cooperate,
and how well he can do it.

On Friday morning Mrs. Smith
spoke on the relation of colleg stu-
dents to the church. Her talk was
based upon a book published by the
clergy of England and entitled, “Stu-
dents and the College.” In the appen-
dix of the book is a questionnaire
sent to various colleges and a ¢om-
posite of the answers received from
To the question, “What is

were poor, or that they had not time
enough, or, in the words of one,
“there is so much else to be done in
college, and the churches will still
be there when college is over.” If such
is the attitude of students toward the
church, then it is, indeed, time for
the church to be interpreted to them.

First, what is the purpose of the
church? It is, simply, “to know
Jesus Christ to make Him
known.” But why should we have a

church? Are not high-minded indi-
viduals and social service workers
potent in spreading the gospel of
Jesus? No, individuals may help,
but the church alone has that dynamic
which can change the nature of the
world, and “eradicate innate human
selfishness.” The church recognizes
the existence of sin and seeks to
remedy it through the blood of Jesus.
The dynamic power of the church is,
then, the first justification of its ex-
istence. Again, we must have a
church because the individual needs
the support of others. Each person
cannot begin at the beginning and
reconstruct his own religion.

The church offers him a religion
brought down from two thousand
years ago, and stated in creeds by
master minds. In the church, one may
find service through loyalty to his
own denomination and fellowship
with other denominations. Then, we
have the functions of the church as
reasons for its existence. The church
has three functions, worship, thought
and service. There is an appalling
lack of the spirit of worship in the
world today. We need to slacken our
hurrying steps, to “be still and know
that He is God.” There has been re-
cently much thought along religious
lines, resulting in a division of many
people into three classes, fundamen-
talists, conservatives and modernists.
Which shall we be? Unfortunately,
even students are not enough inter-
ested in that question to pay the price
of hard thinking. Is youth losing its
faith? No, it is probably simply los-
ing its childish misconceptions of re-
ligion, Ag one’s intellectual horizon
broadens, so should his spiritual hori-
zon become broader and deeper. He
need not fear to bring the light of
science to bear on Christian teach-
ings, for Christianity will stand.
Service can come to a group of peo-
ple only after it has come to the in-
dividuals of that group. “The test of
a man’s religion is the extent to which
it is tied up to his everyday life.”
What we need is not a “flood of talk
and mere trickle of deeds,” for Jesus
has said, “not everyone that sayeth
—but he that doeth the will of the
Father,” By your lives will your serv-
ice be known.

Day Student News

You may be surprised, but—

The other day Red Hudson was
reading very intently. Over and over
she read the same page. Then with
a look of despair she said: “I’ve
looked through this list of universities
three times and Agnes Scott’s name

just isn’t here!”

During the Student Volunteer Con-
vention some one told Frances Alston
that there would be visiting young
men as well as young women. She,
with a look of said:
“Why! I never heard of young men!”
Knowing Frances as well as we do,
we think she doubtless had something
else to add to her startling statement,
but that’s all she was given time to
say.

This was overheard in the day stu-
dent room during a period of unusual
confusion—‘Now don’t you kid me—
if you do I’ll lam (b) you.” We are
wondering just how the second an-
imal was spelt, and if the use of
Mary’s proverbial quadruped was in-
tentional. But of course it was.

There was one night last week when
Margaret Rogers did not have a date.
Yes, nearly everyone she knew was
out of town just then and the others
were in the Follies. This was an
unprecedented occasion, and will nev-
er occur again.

Mary Smith came forth with this
wise crack the other day, “If Hades
were paved with good intentions,
mine would have no sign of a rut
anywhere!” Philosophy is becoming
one of her marked characteristics.

Some of the day students turned in-
to gentlemen for the George Wiash-
ington dinner. Marianne Strauss re-
called us to the times of Daniel
Boone, and Frances Moore as Francis
Scott Key stirred us all again with
memoirs of his “Star Spangled Ban-
ner,” and Sarah Fullbright as Ben-
jamin Franklin again won our ad-
miration with his eloquence.

There may be a lot of other things
you would be surprised at but we
reserve the right to keep them secret

Student Life

In Germany

(Continued From Preyious Issue)

He knows now something tangible
about the
istence, that had once been so far
from the pre-war student’s almost
Gilbertian gaiety. He has received a
schooling of inestimable value for the
future official and judge, who 60
often distinguish themselves by their
aloofness from actual life. The
working side by side of laborer and
student has brought about a new un-
derstanding between formerly largely
hostile classes that will work for so-
cial peace in a country where class
differences were always so marked,
The student’s own co-operative enter-
prises taught him the great lesson
of co-operation, which is so highly
necessary under the circumstances of
the intricate life of today, which do
not allow our human co-existence to
be all struggle and fight in spite of
all the proclaiming of ruthless com-
petition.

It is far too early to say that
this awakening of the German student
to social consciousness is to become
permanent. There are indications
enough of a relapse into leading a
sort of dream-existence from the far
from pleasant realities of today.
There are those, and many of them
wear the colored caps, who long for
the times of 1871-1914, the time of an
exuberant materialism, material
wealth and external power; let us
call them the reactionaries for the
shortness of the term. There are,
furthermore, those who do not want
reaction but conscious reversion to
the life and social order on a purer
plan as, they imagine, it existed in
the Middle Ages, when, as the Ger-
man romantic mystic, Novalis, de-
clared in his famous fragment ,“Chris-
tianity and Europe”, written in 1799,
and often cited in these days, “spir-
itual forees governed the European
world, when belief and love as the
more beautiful blossoms of her youth
hung over Europe which have since,
alas, given room to the less finer
fruits which are knowedge and pos-
session.”

A sociology of the German student
life would have to recognize that the
cohesive impulses within these two
categories are much stronger than in
that big body in which the general
German student body is organized to-
day, the Deutsche Studentenschaft,
founded in 1919, a fact that cannot
astonish anybody who has some
knowledge of the pluralistic structure
of our modern world in which the old
forces show all the powers of the

strangling grip of a doomed man. The
Deutsche Studentenschaft is an at-
tempt of bringing together all stu-
dents into one big powerful body in-
volving a declaration of the autonomy
and self-government of the ‘‘academic
citizens,” so far as their own ‘sphere
goes, and under their own constitu-
tion. It is well worth reminding the
foreign reader that the German uni-
versities always, even under the old
regime, enjoyed a certain autonomy
and that there existed some sort of
special jurisdiction over students.

This new national body comprises
the local committees at the several
universities. These are recognized as
corporations by the state laws. The
membership is compulsory for every
regular German student, who has to
pay a small fee for it each semester.
Foreign students share neither in the
privileges nor the duties. The main
functions of the local committees are:
representation of the whole student
body, charge of the academic self-gov-
erning powers; participation in the
administration of those university af-
fairs directly concerning the student
body, academic discipline and juris-
diction; advancement of athletics; ad-
ministration of self-help organiza-
tions. For a part of these activities
special offices (Amter) have been cre-
ated, as for example law offices that
give judicial advice, offices that help
the newcomer to find a room, athletic
and employment offices, offices that
buy and sell books at moderate prices,
etc.

Athletic activities have as yet nev-

er played a large role in the Ger-
man student’s life. At its last year’s
national meeting, however, the Stu-
dentenschaft has resolved that every
able-bodied student, foreign students
again exempted, has to take part in
athletics of some kind. A little while
ago the ministry of education of one
of the federal states, following a res-
olution of the faculty and the Stu-
dentenschaft of the University of Jena
published a decree that after October
1, 1925, nobody will be allowed to en-
ter university examinations in this
state unless he can prove that he has
actually taken part in these activi-
ties. The purpose of resolutions and
decrees like these may be duly deemed
just as laudable as the means to this
end seem to us dubious; this the more
because they endanger one of the
sacred and not altogether wrong tra-
ditions of German university life, that
of absolute freedom for the student
of selecting his own courses and oc-
cupation and shaping his own mode
One cannot but express the

can university life and which the vis-
itor of this country for the greater

means of coercion. But all decisions
like these are far from final and are
expressions of a good will for new

forms of activities.

These changes within the student
body accompany an even more im-
portant change of the whole struc-
ture of the German university as an
institute of learning. Already this
structure has become less rigid and
less formal than it was. What does
it matter, if for these reasons the
periwigs fear for its very existence
and high standards and achievements.
Slowly another ideal of humanity is
coming up as well as a new concep-
tion of the sciences. There is a cer-
tain conflict between the different
standpoints as to life of the physical,
actual and technical sciences on the
one side and the mental sciences (phi-
losophy, history, linguistics, law, etc.)
on the other. Modern natural science
is by its very nature more closely

connected with practical life. The
mental sciences, however, have re-
tained their “unutilitarian” view of

the classical conception of studies and
this tendency is still preponderant in
the faculties of philosophy, which in-
clude besides philosophy, history of
all kinds, psychology, languages, etc.,
so much that in spite of their splendid
discoveries and achievements the tech-
nical colleges (Technische Hochschu-
len) have gained equal rank with the
universities only very slowly. Against
this traditional conception the young-
er ones of every age in the faculties
raise the wider conception of science
as necessarily connected with life,
they want a phenomenological man-
ner of observing
present life with all its conditionali-
ties, historical and sociological; fur-
thermore a systematic summing up of
the endless mass of specialized knowl-
edge instead of the incessant raising
of isolated problems which threatens
to lead to an overgrowing of special-
ist work. Together with this sum-
ming up of results, of a seeing-to-
gether of facts and currents, a more

and paproaching

intimate union of the artistic form
and the results of investigation is
hoped for, a synthesis which has
made its appearance in the works of
scholars like Wilhelm Dilthey, Fred-
erick Gundolf, Ernst Bertram, and
Oswald Spengler.

So in many ways the time, when it
was possible to substitute learning
for education, is brought nearer to
its end; besides the mere intellectual
training, religion, art, social ethics, a
new consciousness of the human body
have become factors of educating the
German student in order to make him
a personality in the community.

netic Survey Work. He personally
took all of the pictures by which he
illustrated his talk.

With the aid of a’map, Dr. Ed-
munds pointed out the’ fundamental
items in China’s modern political
problem. The country is, first, divided |
into. twenty-one provinces, all o
which have maintained political inde-
pendence; second, the enormous size |
of the country is not conducive to cen-
tralization; third, there is no nation-

al feeling; fourth, taking the coun-|
try as a whole, it may be said that}

there are practically no means of
communication.

This last consideration is appalling.
There are no railroads going either
north to south, or east to west. The
only railroads of which the country
may boast at all are those directly
about the large cities. Railroads do
not pany in China. As matters now
stand, human labor is so cheap that
corporations do not feel justified in
building more.

ty-five miles for the equivalent of
twenty-five cents. It is a customary
; sight to see esteemed merchants car-
rying their own produce of four hun-
dred pounds of tea from one town to
another. Mail, also, in China is car-
ried by human labor, and the result-
ing postage is cheaper than the U.
S. rate.

China’s climate is as varied as the
climates from Cuba to the Hudson
Bay in Canada. The lands of the
south are very fertile, and are so
worked that four crops are obtained
yearly. Here the wet method of

Emory Woman’s Club
Presents “The
Impresario”

Scott Delights Audience

“The Impresario,” as rendered by
Scott and his company of singers,
even surpassed the expectations of
the audience. As is characteristic of
Mozart’s operas, “The Impresario”
is of a light, fanciful, bright vein, and
the voices were well suited to their
roles. From the minute when Scott
appeared on the stage until his last
note died away, he kept his audience
alert and responsive. Miss Howell
and Miss Huntington, also delighted
the audience with their beautiful
high soprano voices.

The cast of characters were:

Emanuel Shickaneder, Director of
Vienna Opera House—Henri Scott.

Phillip, his nephew—Francis Tyler.

Mozart, his composer — Harold
. Howsen.

Madam Hofle, Mozart’s prima don-
na sister-in-law—Hazel Huntington.

quite a*bit, and speaks several lan-
| guages fluently.

| that he might*also speak about West
*Poitt! and that, since we girls ‘have
not yet been admitted there, the best
'thing we ean do-is to marry a West
| Point graduate, Then Mr. Scott urged
|;the value of using good English in
‘our conversation. He said that the
words of a poet may sound very sim-
|ple, as the Monosyllables of Tenny-
sof’s “Crossing the Bar,” but that
| the ability to* write well comes only
with much study and constant prac-
|tice. He warned against the discour-
agement that we may have in receiv-
ing engraved r_jection slips from pub-
| lishing houses, where we may have
sent the produttions of our pens; and
he advised us to try our works on
some good critics before sending them
to a publisher. He usually tries his
peotry on school children before send-
ing it away to mn editor.

The first poéta read to us was
| dedicated to Kentucky, and in it he ex-
pressed his ardent devotion to his na-
tive state. Mr. Scott claims to have
written the first spring poem in
Georgia this year and, after read-
ing one dedicated to this season a
year ago, he read his new poem en-
titled “Spring.” Following this, were
poems of other seasons loved by the
poet, Indian Summer and Thanksgiv-
ing; the setting of both being in Ken-
tucky. Mr. Scott read with earnest
feeling “Mother,” “Daddy,” and
“Grandmother.” The poem “Mother”
was written in memory of his own
mother, and in it is poured out his
deep love for her. Since our fathers
are so often neglected by poets, Mr.
Scott wrote a poem dedicated to
“Daddy,” and then one to his sym-
pathetic grandmother. The Georgia
members of the audience were com-

Mrs. Bull has oeen a missionary to

intimately, she showed to us the Ko-
rean life~of-today under «Japanese

longing of the Korean girl for an ed-
ucation. Listening to her, we real-
ized that over on the other side of
the world are girls who are willing
to pay almost any price for the edu-
cation and joys which we take as a
matter of course. Her simple vivid
words made us question ourselves.
We wondered how many of us, de-
termined though we are to serve as
best we can, are really moved by the
passionate desire to help others which
is the ruling force in those girls’
lives. She preached no sermon; she
made no spoken appeal, but she made
tis feel that others are challenging us
to be worthy of the great privileges
and opportunities that we enjoy. Her
unspoken call to service was more im-

Pi Alpha Phi Busy On
Intercollegiate Subject

Debates were held in the Propy-
lean Hall and in the chapel, respec-
tively, on Wednesday and Thursday
nights, by members of Pi Alpha Phi.
Different phases of the intercollegiate
subject were discussed. On Wednes-
day night, interesting arguments were
given for and against the subject:
“Resolved, That the Selective Immi-
gration Act of 1924 is for the Best
Political Interests of the United
States. The affirmative was sup-
ported by Ellen Walker and Isabel
Ferguson; the negative, by Olivia
Swann and Larsen Mattox. On Thurs-
day night, the subject of conflict was:
“Resolved, That the Selective Immi-
gration Act of 1924 is for the Best
Social Interests of the United States.”
The affirmative was sustained by
Mary. Davis and Eloise Harris, while
the negative was upheld by Margaret
Hyatt and Elsa Jacobsen,

tion our six chosen debaters are get-

Famous Suffragist Speaks On
Debt of College Students *

To Future Generations.
ot

Glorious things are alwaiys happeri-
ing to Agnes Scott. One of them was
the lecture by Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Catt in the chapel Saturday morn-
ing. When introducing her, Dr. Me-
Cain said he did not:need to follow
the conyention of telling how glad we
were to have the speaker there.. The
fact that the college had’ been trying
for several years to obtain her, ‘at-
tested that. Nor was‘it necessary to
tell the audience who-she was, for
all who pretend to,-be informed aie
acquainted with, the accomplishments
of this woman, who was prominent for
some years before most of the stu-
dents were born.

Her most outstanding -work has
been in the-field of Woman Suffrage,
to which she has devoted the greater
part of her life. She organized the
fowa Woman’s Suffrage Association,
of which she has been the president
since 1916. Almost every state which
has a woman’s ‘suffrage association
owes her a debt of gratitude for her
aid in arousing public intreest by lec-
ture tours, and for her help in organ-
izing. When she started her cam-

| paign, “suffragettes” were rather un-

popular, and opprobrium was attach-
ed to their name. She is to be all the
more commended for maintaining her
position until her efforts were at last
met with success, when the “Suffrage
Amendment” was added to our Con-
stitution in 1919.

At present Mrs. Catt holds several
important offices, among them being
membership in the woman’s commit-
tee of the Ceuncil for National De-
fense, President of the International
Woman’s Suffrage Alliance, and
President of the American League of
Women Voters. She has lectured in
practically every state of the Union,
and in almost every nation of Europe.
She is considered one of the best, if
not the best woman speaker in the
United States.

Those who heard her speak Satur-
day morning do not doubt at all the
truth of the last statement. A pleas-
ing and commanding personality is
joined in her with a charming and
well modulated voice, and her words
revealed that she has, as one of the
students expressed it, “both common
and uncommon sense.” She has a
brilliant mind indeed, and spoke to us
from a wealth of experience, while
she seasoned her discourse with rare
humor.

Vocational Guidance
Committee Active

Interesting Stunt In Chapel.

The Committee on Vocational Guid-
ance recently formed as a part of the
Y. W. C. A. organization, sponsored
a stunt in chapel Thursday night, just
after prayers. The plot of the stunt
was as follows: Cupid, searching
among the Agnes Scott class of '25,
could find only one vulnerable heart.
So what could Senior do with the rest
of her black-robed wards? It was,
indeed, a problem, but Senior solved
it well. To some she gave profes-
sions; to others, business; to still oth-
ers, social service work, and so on
until she had well disposed of the en-
tire group.

The cast:

Cupid—Kate Richards.

The Vulnerable Heart — Mary
Breedlove.

Senior—Ruth Harrison.
Musician—Sarah Curry.

atom. One of the first recipierts of
the Nobel Prize in medicine was the
young physician, Niels R. Finsen,
discoverer of the healing rays that
bear his name.

Only those who have completed a4
course of three years in the Gymna-
sium and have passed what is called
“studenter examen” can be registered
as candidates for degrees in the Uni-
versity; but almost all lectures in the
University are open to the public.
When the stu-
dent enters the University from the

Gymnasium at the age of 18 or 19,
he must choose the subject in which
he wishes to specialize. Only a two-
term course in philosophy in the first
year is common to all the students
working under the five different fac-
ulties. The student is free to choose
his own courses and he attends lec-
tures as he pleases. His work is not
divided into terms by minor exam-
inations; his first examination will
probably come after three years of
university study.

It must be remembered that Den-
mark is only twice the size of the
State of Massachusetts. From all
parts of the country, even from dis-
tant Iceland, students come to the
University of Copenhagen. There
may some day be a new university in
the second city of the country, Aar-
hus, but today Copenhagen must pro-
vide for all university students drawn
from the country’s population of three
and a quarter millions. More than
3,500 students and 100 professors are
occupied from early morning until
the late afternoon, and in the li-
braries and laboratories the lights are
burning until late at night. The Uni-
versity year begins with Matricula-
tion Day, early in September, when
one may see crowds of young men
and women, the freshmen of the year,
flocking to the great door of the Uni-
versity over which for generations
the celestial eagle has spread her pro-
tecting wings with equal good will
toward all her children, from the
king to the poorest laborer’s son.

The majority of students live in
town and only meet at their various
clubs, chief of which are “the Union”
and the Students’ Christian Associa-
tion, for social intercourse and de-
bates “on life and death and the
changing mart.” In consequence of
this, the esprit-de-corps never be-
comes very pronounced, and the stu-

Turning from the gay and crowded
street that forms the main thorough-
fare of Copenhagen, the visitor finds
himself suddenly in a square of sober
gray buildings, Our Lady’s Church,
the old Cathedral School, the Uni-
versity Library, the Bishop’s Palace,
and the University itself—a modest
structure bearing the stamp of a time
when good taste was more abundant
than money. On this very spot the
University has been situated since it
was founded by King Christian I in
1478, but as this old quarter of the
city has suffered time and again from
fire and bombardment in war, the
present building dates from 1836.

Only a small part of the Univer-
sity’s work is carried on in the build-

The subject of the editorial of the
Florida Alligator for last week was
“American Students As a Type.” It
was based on the observations of
Conrad Hoffman, alumnus of the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin, and administra-
tor of the Student Friendship fund in
Europe. In speaking of colleges of
America, he says: “A busy-ness ap-
parent, not so much in the pursuit of
knowledge in the halls of learning as
in the extra curricular activities and
in innumerable organizations. .
Selfish, self-indulgent, provincial,
some accuse. Yes! But—there are no
students in the world more responsive
to appeals for help and to moral
values.”

portant part, even though it may oc-
casionally escape general observation
by being concealed in the language
of a small people. Of course a topic
of local interest needs only expres-
sion in Danish; but Danish research
seeks to a great extent hospitality
abroad in the scientific journals of
the civilized world. Thus a knowl-
edge of the country and university
is spread and prepares the way for
Danish students who go out into the
world to be received by foreign scien-
tists to whom Danish research is not
unknown. The University of Copen-
hagen has the traditional five fac-
ulties—philosophy, science and math-
ematics, medicine, law and theology:

An old brick building with flowers blooming at its doorway,
a haunt of peace and calm, an ivy-covered library—what would
any college be without one? Amid its rows and rows of books,
whisper the voices of ages past, the message of a Shakespeare,
a Newton, a Frederick the Great, a Schubert. There we may
live in the “Never, Never Land” of imagination, sheltered by
books, dark green ones, brown ones, red, blue, lavender, white ones,
frorn the reality of living. There we may learn the lore of the
sages, “‘the best that has been thought and said in the world.”
There, to be more practical, Freshmen and Sophomores pass hur-
riedly through the heat of extensive note-taking, Juniors chatter
in the various rooms concerning elective subjects, and Seniors
“browse” about with luxuriant leisure. Within its walls we dis-
cover what the Egyptians knew hundreds of years before Christ,

Tech students, also, had the priv-
ilege of hearing Mr. Paul Blanshard
speak on labor conditions. “The

Blanshard’s views on this question and
adds: “As future leaders in industry
and commerce, Tech men should real-
ize that labor must be helped from
above; that it should be granted the
right of collective bargaining in or-
der to deal with capital on the same
plane. ... We can and should take
three preliminary steps and rest as-
sured that they are in the right di-

and, also, who was killed this morning on the outskirts of Atlanta,
and what the attitude of Japan is toward America’s restriction of
Immigration. A college without a library! Such, indeed, is be-
yond the scope of our imagination.

A library is an indispensable asset to a good college, and as such,
one would suppose that students would appreciate it and guard
it as among their chief treasures. But alas, thoughtless, selfish,
inconsistent youth; it throws away the very thing it needs. Far
from guarding our library, there are those among our number.

Light Institute and the various labo-
ratories connected with the medical
school. The training of the medical
student lasts on an average eight
years, including a period of twelve
months’ uninterrupted service at a
hospital. The study of arts extends
over a period of about seven years
and that of theology and law of six
years. Among the teachers of the
philosophical faculty, students of lin-
guistics will be familiar with the
great scholar in English, Professor
Otto Jespersen, who has twice lec-

time of greatest demand. Recently an English-French dictionary
has been removed, and one volume of an encyclopedia set. This
volume cannot be replaced without buying the whole set, which
costs one hundred and sixty dollars. Modern books go faster than
others. One would simply be appalled to know the number of
books that have disappeared unaccountably, since our library was
founded. Dishonesty? The worst kind, for it not only steals the
property of another, but it deprives students of one of the priv-
ileges for which they come to college. Another and more general
practice in the abusing of our library, is the defacing of books

and magazines by underlining, drawing pictures, adorning faces,
etc. Underlining is unfair in that it gives the next user of the

AGONISTIC

GIDDTE ) GOSSIP

Thursday Night.
Dear Giddy :—
- Giddy, you are a most exacting per-
Here you go and get sick and
leave all the writing to my side again.
No! I’m not afraid I'll catch flue
or mumps or lockjaw or whatever you

son!

have from your letters, but I guess
maybe I ought to do
writing in a case like this—but it
seems logical to me that you’d have
more time to write than I do. But I
won’t fuss at you any more, old dear,
‘cause you're sick and really I’m ter-
ribly sorry. Why once down here so
many people had flu that the whole
infirmary was full and they had to
send for another nurse and some ex-
‘tra beds for people to sleep in. I
didn’t lose my head and take it
tho—I’m more sensible than that.
Giddy, you remember what I said
about Juanita Grier—well, it wasn’t
her at all—it was Hazel Huff.
sorry I got it mixed up, Giddy.
I went to church in town last week
with Martha Childress, Reba Boyless
and Roberta Winter. Well, we got
along fine till the man came around
to take up the collection. When the
plate passed Ro, she kinda leaned

most of the

I’m

over it and dropped in a nickel or a
dime or something and just as she
did the man leaned over to her and
said real low: “Un-hum! I caught you
that time.” Well, don’t you imagine
Ro felt funny? She nearly died and
we did too. We just laughed and
laughed tho ’cause we knew all the
time that she’d put in a dime.

The funniest thing happened this
morning that you’ve ever heard of—
we had oranges at the table and Mar-
garet Edmondson asked somebody to
pass her the sugar and one of the
girls said: “Oh do you eat sugar on
your orange too? They all laugh at
me when I do, and I’m so glad some-
body agrees with me.” And Margaret
said, “Yes, I surely do like it,” and
she glanced up at the girl and as she

did, the sugar bowl tipped over and
—why you couldn’t ever see the
orange at all, there was so much sug-
ar over it. Everybody laughed so
long and so much that we were sure
Miss Hopkins was going to hold up
her hand, but she didn’t, and poor
Margaret was a wreck—not because
Miss Hopkins didn’t put her hand up,
but because of the sugar episode.
Would you eéall that a coincident,
Giddy?

Oh! And Giddy, do you know Vir-

itive methods, is extensively carried
on. Here, the dry method of farming

is used.

A person traveling in China will be
particularly impressed with two facts.
One is the poverty of the people; an-
other, the absolute lack of forests. As
a result of the using up of the for-
ests, great floods and droughts are
frequent. The Yellow river has
changed its course, sweeping over a
fan-shaped area with radius of three
hundred miles, making an angle of
about sixty degrees. This, of course,
resulted in the greatest damage to
life and property in the history of
China, but similar oecurrences on a
smaller scale happen many times
yearly. :

The ingeniousness of the Chinese
is humorously illustrated in the meth-
od they use to cross small rivers in
the north. A traveler carries with him
a pig skin. When he reaches a riv-
er, he removes his clothes, blows up
the skin, and blithely floats across.

China’s Grand Canal is the oldest
in the world. It was begun in the
first century of the Christian era,
and completed in the 13th century.
The moving of the capital from
Nanking to Peking occasioned its
completion, for the emperor preferred
rice grown in central China to that
of the north. This brought up the
question of a practical waterway. The
Grand Canal was the result.

Some of the most interesting pic-
tures shown were of the limestone
pinnacles along the eastern water
boundary of Human. These follow the
river for one hundred miles, rising
like huge cones, of all shapes and
sizes. Their whiteness, the green
shrubs at their base, and the blue
river flowing in front, make a most
picturesque scene.

The Chinese, using most primitive
methods, have built remarkable con-
crete bridges, suspension bridges of
wood of great length, and have, in a
very small way, utilized a little of
their extensive water power. When
modern inventions and general educa-
tion reach China, and penetrate to its
heart, development will be so vast
that the mind is unable to conceive of
the result.

Education of the masses is China’s
most vital necessity today. A public
school system was begun in 1905, and
rapid progress has been made. There
are now 150,000 teachers and 700,000
pupils enrolled in China’s schools.
This awakening of China offers a
wonderful opportunity for service to
American Christians.

The holiday (February 21st) found
two enthusiastic groups of Agnes
Scotters encamped at Stone Moun-
tain. A crowd of faculty members,
consisting of Misses Randolph, Gault,
Sinclair, Cole, Morton, Brown, Pirkle
and Bland stayed at the Venable cot-
tage. Just across the lake, a group
of students enjoyed life at Pine
Lodge.

The two camps were quite friendly.
Within twenty-four short hours,
neighborly calls were made and re-
turned. Miss Brown, Miss Pirkle and
Miss Bland took supper with the
girls, and the other members of the
faculty party came over to Pine Lodge
for the evening. Misses Brown and
Pirkle even spent the night, acting
as chaperons.

Early on Saturday morning the stu-
dents visited the faculty. After danc-
ing a while, everyone went out to
hunt planaria. (Planaria are worms
used in the Biology lab.) Miss Pirkle
and Miss Brown were lucky in secur-
ing so many diligent collectors. At
any rate, there were enough planaria
in lab. on Monday.

Each camper had a delightful time,
and considered the holiday well spent.
The George Washington Scott din-
ner, however, was too great a tempta-
tion, so everyone returned to the col-
lege for Saturday night’s festivities.

The students who went on the camp
were: Frances McColgan and her vis-
itor, Miss Bernice Lilley, of Brenau;
Cleo MecLaurine, Virginia Sevier,
Nancy Crowther, Margaret Hyatt,
Mary P. Brown, Dorothy Harper,
Frances New and Lila Porcher.

the ladies honorably come forward
and explain to the audience just how

terest of the piece culminates in the
final combination of the six inde-
pendent songs with the Gounod “Sere-

MRS. CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT
ADDRESSES AGNES SCOTT
(Continued from Page 1, Column 5)
The theme of her speech was that

we are what we are on account of our
grandparents, and that we owe it to
future generations to do as much
for them as past generations have
done for us. According to the thegry
which scientists have advanced. since
the war, we as college students have
either “A” or “B-plus” minds. It js
ah duty, therefore, to lead those who
are ‘hot able to receive benefit from

college, those who have “C” minds. |’
To this class, Mrs. Catt said, ‘many

Congressmen belong, and she ¥elated
several amusing incidents to ‘support
her point: *

Too many of us who Are sortiniste
enough to attend college accept the
situation too complacently, and are
ignorant of the hard uphill fight’ our
grandparents had in order to secure
for us this advantage. Before the
Revolution, girls were not sent to
any schools at’ all until a movement
was started to gét “schools for shes.”
After a battle, girls were allowed to
attend boys’ schools during vacation
or before the opening hour in the
morning: Even when seminaries for
girls had been established, however,
there was much controversy over
what subjects:the girls should be al-
lowed to take Geography was ob-
jected to on the grounds that it would
be of no use to women, unless .and
then perhaps, some of them should
marry missionaries. When Troy Sem-
inary of New York introduced algebra |
and geometry into the curriculum,
there was a furor, and ministers even
argued from their pulpits, on the one
hand that woman’s mind could not
grasp mathematics, and, on the other,
that they might become so enamored
with geometry that, after they were
married, they would devote so much
time to solving geometric problems
that they would neglect their chil-
dren. Physiology was another subject
which was looked on with disfavor.
When it finally did begin to be taught
to girls, heavy paper was pasted over
all the pictures of the human anat-
omy, for it was regarded immodest
for a girl to see them.

We owe the fact that “every boy
and girl in the United States who
wants a college education can have it
on equal terms” to the struggles of |
our grandparents. Their work also
paved the way for woman enfran-
chisement. The United States was
not as progressive in this line as in
others, for “24 other nations gave the
vote to their women before this na-
tion did.” Due to the efforts of our
grandparents, women may now enter
the professions. At the present time,
their opportunity is almost equal to|
that of the men.

With all our advantages, we owe
much to future generations. As Mrs.
Catt said, “With the vote, everything

is your affair; with an education,
more than everything is your affair.”
The standard we should adopt is
stated in the preamble of our Consti-
“to promote the common wel-
fare.” Some of the steps by which
this may be done is by the promotion
of peace instead of war; the wiping
out of illiteracy; the education of ig-
norant literates; and the elimination
of child labor.

Mrs. Catt concluded her inspiring
and enlightening talk by some advice
gleaned from her own rich experi-
ence. We must not fear to stand
alone when on account of our supe-
rior advantages. we perceive the truth
in advance of the ‘common herd.”
‘We must stand firm and help the rest
‘of the world “wabble to our position,”
which it will always do in the end.

Aggie’s Funny Bone

One definition of a professor—A
professor is a man who condescends
to take a few classes while formulat-
ing epoch-making changes in the
world.

“Why does Shrop always drink
twice?” :

“One drink makes him feel like’ an-
other man, and he has to treat the

other, man.”

If woman wasn't artificial

she
wouldn’t be natural. ;

The Southern Collegian, back about
1875 perpetrated such jokes as this:

(In English) “Who killed the most
poultry ?”

“Hamlet’s father, a he did murder
‘most foul.”

‘Good girls should love their brothers, ie
i, But some so good have grown,
{That they love fraternity brothers °

Better than they do their own,

“Father dear,” wrote Charlie from
Lynchburg, “I enclose my hotel bill.”

“Dear Charlie,” wrote the father, |,

“Im enclosing a check, but please
don’t buy up any more hotels at that
I think they are robbing you.”

“IT hear there’s one thing that keeps
Henry out of Paul Whiteman’s or-
chestra.”

“What's. that?”

“Paul Whiteman.”

Lynchburg. Pocahontas Wight and
Isabel Ferguson are the only mem-
bers of the taem who are experienced
in intercollegiate debating, but A. S.
C. expects excellent work of all six.
The subject for the debate is: Re-
solved: “That the American Immi-
gration Act of 1924 is for the Best
Interest of the United States.”

As the question is a peculiarly live
one at the present time, and as the
triangular debates are always occa-
sions of great interest in the three
colleges concerned, March 20 holds in
store for us one of the greatest thrills

of the college year. The intercol-

legiate debates are doubly significant
in that dcvaung is the only ultra-

curriculum activity wherein Agnes
Seott contests with other colleges,
with the exception of dramatics, which
have found a place with us as an _ in-
tercollegiate activity only this year.

MR. RILEY SCOTT AT COLLEGE
(Continued frcm Page 1, Column 2)
plimented with a poem to the Geor-
gia girl, picturesquely called “The
Georgia Rose,” and the author said
that he supposed the poem was more
popular at boys’ than at girls’
schools. In a whimsical tone, Mr.
Scott read “Elizabeth,” dedicated to
his faithful car, a companion that
he would not malign with so un-
worthy a name as “Lizzie.” Al-
though this poem was written in a
light strain, there was a serious un-
dercurrent depicting the characteris-
tics of a true friend. Mr. Scott, who
says that he-cares for no more money
than to live on, wrote a poem of con-
tempt for the luxuries of that mil-
lionaire who does not have a love for
nature and mankind. Perhaps one
of the best poems read was a prayer,
which has been published in readers
for school children, and which ex-
presses the desire to live simply, but
usefully.

In conclusion, Mr, Scott left an op-
timistic note by telling a joke about
an old man who always consoled his
friends in trouble by saying, “Well, it
mought ‘a’ been worse.” Even when
a man had fallen out of a window,
breaking his neck, Ezra gave solace
to the family in the usual way. One
of the neighbors, having become tired
of the old man’s philosophy, asked
how it could have been worse when
the man was killed. Ezra immediate-
ly replied that the man could have
fallen on the neighbor and have
broken his neck too. So Mr. Scott
urged that when we have trouble we
remember that it might have been
worse.

Upon the request of some of the
students, Mr. Scott sold copies of his
poems the next morning after chapel.

“Why is a flapper like a bungzs
low?”

Answer—“‘Front painted,
shingled, and no. upper story,”

back

Remember That Ditch
Visitor—‘Why the’ trench in one
of Washington college?”

“Frosh—They are, alee
against an attack of the U..D. C’s.” .

Get your loving while you may,
For time will soon bring sorrow.
Alas, the flappers of today
Are the chaperons of tomorrow.

“Who is the meanest man in the

“T don’t know.”

‘The prison warden who put a tack
in the electric chair.”

‘Mother—“Son, your grades aren't
so good the second term.”

Son—‘No,, you see everything was
marked down after holidays.”

A dream that you are fighting in
Russia means that you are in a very
disorderly state.’

Minister, after service, at church

“Yes sir, I am glad to get out.”

’ Three Ring Circus
Crowd| Catt Speaks In Atlanta

Draws

Proceeds Go To Fund For
New Gymnasium

Every city and village has its an-
nual circus with a big three-ring tent
show and numerous side attractions.
Even the cultural atmosphere of
Agnes Scott College could not over-
come this inherent love of clowns and
cowboys. Therefore, in order to sat-
isfy this natural desire of the spec-
‘tacular and mysterious, the best com-
pany on the globe, The A. S. C. Ath-
letie Association, decided to favor the
college community with one perform-
ance.

On Friday morning the big circus
began moving on to the campus, and
many freshmen attempted to play
“hooky” in order to see the great train
unload. At noon the majestic parade
took place. The procession began at
the gym and proceeded along Library
Way to Science Square, thence down
Inman avenue and back through the
business section of Main street to
the cireus grounds. Not a thing was
lacking from this review of the en-
tire carnival; there were the ever-
present steam organs, cages and cages
of wild animals, funny-faced clowns
and desperate looking bare-back
riders.

Then on Saturday night at seven
o’clock free attraction skits were held.
The world-famous Gene Dozier
danced; Mary Knight and Jo Douglas
displayed their ability as “kings-of-
tumble-land;” while for a romantic ap-

pictured us Hawaii with its ukuleles
and guitars.

Next came the big circus! The
grounds were covered with booths of
red lemonade and “hot-dogs.” There
were numerous side-show attractions;
The menagerie; the heayweight
champion; the fat lady; but best of
all, the swimming match for freshmen
only. Between acts a _ tight-rope
walker and Italian couple dance held
the attention of everyone. Clowns
with big feet and white faces strolled
here and there, while people after peo-
ple waited for a ride on the merry-go-
round,

Gypsy fortune tellers told many
amazing truths concerning future ca-
reers. And the realm of the mysteri-
ous was brought vividly to the eyes of
those who chose to visit the magic

Miss Harn Elected Vice-
President of the Johns
Hopkins Society

A few weeks ago, Agnes Scott had
another honor conferred upon her by
the election of Miss Harn to the Vice-
Presidency of the Johns Hopkins So-
ciety of Georgia. This Society, com-
prised of the Alumni of Johns Hop-
kins who are residents of Georgia,
held their annual meeting at the
Georgian Terrace on February 28.
The most interesting feature of the
evening was the address by Dr.
Charles K. Edmonds, who on the eve-
ning before had charmed and enter-
tained us by his splendid lecture on
China. Dr. Edmonds who was for
more than twenty years the Presi-
dent of Canton Christian College in
Canton, China, is now Provost of
Johns Hopkins. He spoke of its work,
and illustrated his talk with stereop-
ticon views of the university. Having

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1925

Mrs. Carrie Chapman

Famous Suffragist Leader Talks
On Women and World Peace

Many Agnes Scott girls took ad-
vantage of Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Catt’s talk at Loew’s Grand in At-
lanta on Sunday afternoon, March 1.
She was equally as well received at
this appearance as at our college
on the previous Saturday. This, as
all who heard her know, betokens
maximum appreciation. Mrs. Catt
spoke on “Woman, and her Relation
to World Peace.”

She stated that the old theory for
keeping peace was to maintain so
large an army that trouble makers
were frightened off. As we all know,
that age old theory has in no way
prevented war. It is now time to
discard the old and try the modern
theory of a League of Nations and
World Court.

A point that Mrs. Catt made, and
one which was touched with her char-
acteristic humor, was that the Unit-
ed States furnished all of the ex-
cellent ideas for the League and
World Court, yet, the other nations
are profiting by our ideas and we
are on the outside of all of our own
schemes. Furthermore, all of the
first nations have joined the League.
We are left outside of the working
order of our own ideas in company
with such nations as Turkey.

Mrs. Catt stated that the United
States will never become a member

of the lieague as loRe as the ques-

tion is a partisan matter. The Re-
publicans will never vote for the
Democrat in order to put over the
League, nor will the Republican ever
enter a Democrat plank in his plat-
form. The League question must be
removed from American polities if
the United States is to be factor in
World Peace.

Two Clubs Elect New
Members

Blackfriars and Folio Announce
New Members

The second semester Blackfriar
tryouts were held Monday night,
March 2. About forty girls tried
out, so that it was hard to choose
the fice who should have the thrill
of becoming a member. Finally, how-
ever, the committee chose the fol-
lowing five: Louise Smith, Catherine
Johnson, Mary Sayward, Josephine
Walker and Frances Chambers.

Also, we are glad to have Larson
Mattox as honorary member. It was
decided that Blackfriars needed wait-
ers as well as actresses, so Larson
was voted a member.

Invitations were held Friday aft-
ernoon at 5 o’clock. All of us, new
members, as well as old, got a thrill
out of it, and the new members were
cordially welcomed to our midst.

With this initiation five good
actresses have ben added to our flock,
and we know that they can do many
fine things for Blackfriars, both in
the way of acting and a'so by their
hearty support and cooperation.

Folio met with Miriam Preston on
March 4, to discuss the seven try-
outs, which had been submitted.
Josephine Walker, Emily Kingsberry,
Virginia Norris, and Dorothy Harper
were elected to membership. The
club was quite pleased with the try-
outs as a whole, and had a hard time
in deciding about some of the stories
—Jo’s “The Luck of Mike,” Emily’s
“The Call of the Wild,” Virginia’s
“The Minute Hand,” and Dorothy’s
“Bow of Blue” are the stories upon
which these girls won membership
in Folio. Initiations will be held

Cotillion Club Gives

To Go

Gymnasium Fund

To

A script dance will be given in the
gymnasium by Cotillion Club Thurs-
day, March 11, from 7:00 to 8:00 p. m.
The proceeds obtained from the dance
will be added to the fund for the new
gymnasium, which is now in the pro-
cess of erection. The whole campus
community is invited to come and
“banish dull care away.”

The posters in Main and in the
library to herald this event are most
intriguing. Graceful silhouettes, Jap-
anese lanterns, misty rainbow colors—
yellow, blue, green, rose, lavender—
give promise of airy, fantastic pleas-
ures in store for us. Aside from these
delightful suspicions, we are given
the more definite pledge of certain
entertainment. Katherine Richards
and Josephine Huntley are to tango in
costume, and Eugenie Dozier, famed
on the campus and abroad as well for
the grace and beauty of her dancing,
will charm those present by giving
a dance of Old Spain. Music will be
furnished by an orchestra composed
of members of the student body. Mar-
garet Gholston, Mildred Morrow,
Bryte Danie] and Pauline MeLeod
will “tickle the ivories”; Evalyn Pow-
ell is to beat the drum; other girls
will play the ukuleles and banjoes.

The occasion holds forth every as-
surance of pep and jollity. The or-
chestra promises three no-breaks and
quite a number of choice popular se-
lections. All will be merriment and
laughter.

Now is your chance to defy the
laws of pschology by doing two things
at one time.

Come out and dance “aiid make’ th
fund for the new gymnasium grow.
The admission fee is only twenty-five
eents. All of this merry sport and
play for only a quarter! Don’t lose
your opportunity to do something
unique, but forget notes and other
work for a time and come out Wednes-
day night and help build our new gym-
nasium by dancing.

Classical Club Gives
Greek Bazaar

To Ratse Money For Greek
Refugees

The Greek bazaar given by the
Classical Club all day Friday in
Propylean Hall was quite an inter-
esting and worthy event.

The bazaar was sponsored by ‘he
Classical students on our campus, in
order that they might do their bit in
the great work the “American
Friends of Greece” are doing for
Greece. “The American Friends of
Greece” is a society formed after the
expulsion of the Greeks from Smyrna.

Its membership is made up of
America’s most prominent college
men and women. Of these members,
perhaps the most important, at least,
those best known at Agnes Scott are:
Dr. Charles Thwing, who was here
last fall in the interests of Phi Beta
Kappa, Henry Noble McCracken,
president of Vassar; Dr. Ester Love-
joy, chairman of American Women’s
Hospital; Andrew Brodie, National
Representative of The Near East Re-
lief; Rt. Rev. James Cannon, Jr.,
Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South; Rt. Rev. Freeman,
Bishop of the Episcopal Church, and
Stephen S. Wise, Rabbi, Central and
Free Synagogues, New York. The so-
ciety has as its purpose the provid-
ing of a means of support for the
women and girls who form 60 per cent
of the 1,500,000 refugees settled in
Greece since the expulsion from Asia
Minor. These refugees are chiefly of
Greek descent, some 10 per cent be-
ing Armenians, although they have
lived for some generations in Asia
Minor. Greece has supplied them
with homes and a chance to make a

New Plans Made for
Lower House of
Student Government

Body Adopts New
Regulation

Student

As there have been complaints on
the campus that “the moulding of
public opinion” is too indefinite a
task for Lower House to have, Exec
has formulated a plan for the reor-
ganization of this body. This plaa
was presented to the student body
at chapel several weeks ago, and
was carried at a second meeting
called on March 4.

Lower House will retain the first
vice-president of Student overn-
ment as its chairman. There will be
an advisory board, comprised of the
editor of the Agonistic, the president
of the Athletic Association, the fire
chief, and members of College Coun-
cil. Besides, four representatives
from the Proctor Committee of Stu-
dent Government, there will be two
representatives from each class, in-
stead of the unequal representation,
as formerly.

Lower House will have five stand-
ing committees: The Library Com-
mittee, whose chairman must be a
Junior; the Open Discussion Commit-
tee, with a Junior chairman; the Ex-
tension Committee, which has to do

Presbyterian Church

Husband of Agnes Scott
Girl

Dr. Richard Orme Flinn, besides be-
ing on the board of trustees of Agnes
Scott, is one of the most prominent
men in the Southern Presbyterian
Church. He is the only son of Rev.
William Flinn, a Presbyterian minis-
ter, and a grandson of Dr. Andrew
Flinn, also a Presbyterian minister.

Dr. Richard Flinn’s early home
was in Mobile, Ala., and there he at-
tended the public schools, then Tole’s
Academy and Mobile High School in
succession. He finished his prepara-
tory school work at Richardson’s Mil-
itary School in Alabama.

In his sixteenth year, Dr. Flinn en-
tered the Southwestern Presbyterian
University of Clarksville, Tenn. His
father’s illness made it necessary for
him to leave school before finishing
his course, but shortly after he en-
tered the theological seminary at
Columbia, S. C. While there, he was
president of the historic missionary
society of the seminary, and while at
the Southwestern University, he was
a member of the Washington Irving
Literary Society, a charter member
and one of the first presidents of the
Palmer Society, and a member of the
Theta Chapter of the P. K. A. fra-
ternity.

In 1894, at the conclusion of his
seminary course, Dr. Flinn accepted a
call to the Kirkwood Church. In 1898
he left there in response to an urgent

appeal by’ the Macon Presbytery, to

undertake the work of establishing
Presbyterianism in the newly open-
ed country in the pine belt. He had
been there only six months, however,
when he was called to Atlanta to as-
sist Dr. Barnett in the First Church.
A movement to organize a new
church in North Atlanta arose, and
after having the officials of both
churches tender him the pastorate, he
accepted the duties in the new col-
ony. On January 1, 1899, he began
his work as pastor of North Avenue
Presbyterian Church, where he has
ever since remained.

During his years in the ministry
Dr. Flinn has been very active and
has received many tokens of honor
and appreciation for his efficient
service. The honorary degree of

May Day Scenario
Centers About
Robin Hood

Breedlove Chosen as May Queen
and Harrison as Robin Hood

The Agnes Scott community and
the throng of outsiders who visit us
on that occasion are looking forward
to the May Day celebration this year
with a great deal of interest. The
interest on the campus was deepened
last week when the May Queen, Rob-
in Hood, and the rest of the cast were
chosen. Mary Breedlove was elect-
ed queen by the students, and will
therefore be “Maid Marion” in the
play, and Ruth Harrison was elected
to be Robin Hood and King. The
maids have not yet been chosen, but
their names will be announced next
week,

There was no May Day scenario
eontest this year, for last year, aft-
er “Sherwood Forest,” by Louise
Buchanan, had been selected, it was
decided to give a Classical May Day
program, and the winning scenario
was reserved for this year. It is a
departure from the usual, in that its
subject is not gleaned from ancient
mythology, and in that there will be
‘May King” this year. Something
else different about this year’s pro-
duction is that there is going to be

A CALL TO SERVICE FROM GREECE

_ Someone familiar with the peculiarities of American college
students has said that they are selfish and over-busy with tasks
not performed in the halls of learning, but that they are unusually
responsive to calls for service and moral uplift. Recently the great-
est call to service, echoed around the world for several years, has
been presented to the colleges of America: “The American Friends
of Greece” plead humanity for the Greek refugees from Smyrna.
Shall we justify the confidence placed in us by him who called us
responsive to appeals for service?

The plight of Greece has been clearly explained to us. A lit-
tle country, less than half the size of Georgia has been overwhelm-
ed with millions of refugees, pouring in from Smyrna, which was
captured by the Turks in 1922. “Greece already well pop-
ulated. and. none too rich in resources, has welcomed
these refugees, giving them such homes as she could and as
much food as possible, but she has not been able to supply work,
nor to buy products from them. “The American Friends

of Greece” have tried to help relieve the problem by putting a large
number of women and children to the task of making scarfs, bags,
luncheon sets and other such articles. For this handiwork a mar-
ket must be found in America. And so it has been sent to various
colleges throughout our country. At Agnes Scott, the Classical
Club will see the handiwork of the refugees on Friday, March 13,
in Propylean Hall. We know the situation and we now have an
opportunity to give our answer to the age-old question, “Am I my
brother’s keeper?” Thousands of starving men, women and chil-
dren hold out their bony hands to us for aid, thousands of families
huddled together in ten-dollar hovels cry silently unto us for
mercy. In the name of humanity and of Him Who said: “Only a
cup of cold water,” let us rally to the call.

Relief of human suffering is not the only result that would
spring from our aid to the Greek refugees. In giving sympathy,
we should establish a bond of fellowship between Greece and our-
selves. Surely America, who stands firm in her policy of political
isolation, needs, of all nations in the world, to manifest her real de-
sire for the spirit of world unity, by helping foreign lands in dis-
tress.

Humanity and world federation are motives enough to make us
give gladly where there is need. But the Greek refugees do not
ask gifts or charity. They simply desire a market for their prod-
ucts. The articles on display here are things which college girls
would like to have and their prices are most reasonable.

College women of America, look at yourselves—well-clothed,
well-fed and well-sheltered, with an opportunity for seeking higher
learning! Why? Through no virtue of you college women of
America; look at the girl refugees in Greece—poorly-clothed,
scarcely fed and sheltered not at all, without any opportunity for
education! Why? Through no fault of theirs. Will you not give
to them of your bounty?

THE

MISS ROSA KAUFFMAN SPEAKS
ON SOCIAL SERVICE AS A
VOCATION

The Y. W. C. A. committee on vo-
presented to the

Miss
of the
of social service,

cational guidance
Saturday morning,
Kauffman,

students
Rosa secretary
state department
who talked on the field of social serv-

ice as a vocation.

Social service, said Miss Kauffman,
has just recently been developed into
a science. It is the “art of helping
people out of trouble,” and persons
are being helped on a better and
broader basis. The profession of so-
cial service must investigate as scien-
tifically as does law or medicine, It
seeks to know why, how and when to
help, how to keep persons from be-
coming poor, how in short, to “adjust
people who are not functioning as
normal citizens.”

Three fields are open for one desir-
ing to go into social service work.
First, there is case work, dealing with
individuals, as subjects of the juve-
nile courts. Then there is group work,
organizing clubs in the Y. W. C. A,,
among girl scouts, ete. Lastly, there
is the field of changing communities,
of trying to make communities see
the need for play grounds, for child-
labor laws, etc.

For one entering the field of social
service, an A. B, degree is needed, in-
cluding courses in economics, sociol-
ogy and psychology. Then one should
attend a school of social work, as the
School of Philanthropy in New York,
or that at Simmons College, or Smith,
at the University of Pennsylvania, or
closer home, at the University of
North Carolina.

The future of social workers may
be seen in the positions attained by
such women as the head of the Fed-
eral Children’s Bureau in Washing-
ton; the head of the Consumers’
League, and Jane Addams, world-fa-
mous for her work at Hull House.
Miss Kauffman recommended two
books for our reading, “Art of Help-
ing,” by the N. Y. Charity Organiza-
tion Society, and “What Is Profes-
sional Social Work,” by Halbert.

“Social service,” said Miss Kauff-
man in conclusion, “is the biggest
field for service any man or wom-
an can enter.”

CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH ENTERTAINS AF-
FILIATED MEMBERS

Central Presbyterian Church of At-
lanta, of which Dr. Lacy is pastor, en-
tertained the Agnes Scott girls who
have affiliated there with a most de-
lightful social, last Thursday
night in the Alumnae house. Dr. Lacy
was the life of the party. He an-
nounced the further plans that the
church has made for its affiliated
members, during the spring season.
The girls, numbering about fifty in
all, will be divided into groups of
two or three, and each Sunday one
or more group will be invited out
to dine by various Atlanta parish-
ioners of the church. In all proba-
bility, too, a swimming party, spon-
sored by Central Presbyterian, is in
store for the girls when the weather
gets a little warmer.

The parlor and dining room of the
Alumnae House were beautifully dec-
orated with spring flowers, and de-
licious refreshments were served to
the guests, while standing. A salad
course was followed by ice cream and
cake and all accessories. The suc-
cess of the entertainment is due in
great measure to Mr. Cole, the chair-

man of the committee on arrange-
ments, and to Misses Grace Augusta

Ogden, Elizabeth Cole and Eloise
Gaines, the members of the com-
mittee.

PINE LODGE SCENE OF GAY
FESTIVITIES

Have you ever been to Pine Lodge
Camp? We have: Brownie Smith,
Elizabeth Lynn, Nellie Richardson,
Mary Shepherd, Marguerite Russell,
Mabel Robeson, Irma Williams, Dor-
othy and Ruth Owen, with Miss Gault
as chaperon, went out the last week-
end in February, and all, especially
those for whom it was the first trip,
bring back enthusiastic reports.

Every nook and cranny of the camp
was explored Saturday afternoon. One
girl even tested the temperature of
the stream that runs near the camp,
by falling in, and judging from her
screams and the race back to camp,
the water was very cold.

After these explorations, the camp-
ers took turns with the little hatchet,
whose head flies off every three min-
utes, and soon a huge fire was roar-
ing up the chimney of the open fire
place. Selft-appointed cooks prepared
supper, and the girls fell to with a
hearty good will. Supper over,
bridge, jokes and games of all sorts
were played, and from 11 to 12, just
to show that candles are not the
kind of lights that go off at ten
o’clock, the girls made pecan fudge.

The last weary camper crawled in-
to her bunk just as the last candle
went out, and the last ember of fire
died. Snores reigned supreme from
then till 8:30 the next morning. It
was raining so the girls could not
climb Stone Mountain, but some who
were at the camp loaned by Mr. Ven-
able came over that morning, and the
sun shone in the afternoon just in
time to allow us to take some pic-
tures, so every minute was full to
the brim.

A regretful bunch startled the peo-
ple on the Agnes Scott-bound ear
with professional of ’ blankets
and a general ‘roughing it” appear-
anee. y

Their advice to all who have not
been to the camp is “Sign up now for
Pine Lodge.”

AGNES SCOTT HEARS INAUGU-
RAL ADDRESS OVER RADIO

Miss Hopkins, five members of the
faculty, and about forty girls heard
President Coolidge’s inaugural ad-
dress on the morning of March 4.
Oh, no, I don’t mean they took the
fastest train for Washington. They
simply sat in the Physics Lecture
room, and listened in over that mar-
vel of the modern age, the radio.
The listeners reported that they were
able to hear the words of the Presi-
dent quite distinctly, and, also, music
from a band, before and after the
address. Every action of the Pres-
ident, just after his talk was over,
was immediately broadcasted, and so
our girls knew when President Cool-
idge was kissing the Bible of his
grandmother just as well as though
they had been among the crowds
thronging the capital city itself.

OFFERED TO COLLEGE|PLAN FOR NAPKINS IN DINING

ROOM

It seems that visitors coming to
Agnes Scott, and also some of the
Hottentots themselves, have remark-
ed upon the lack of napkins in the
dining room, due to the fact that nap-
kins persist in disappearing as fast
as one brings them to the table. As
a matter of fact, it is not very pleas-
ant to be compelled to use handker-
chiefs or the tablecloth as napkins,
and we are going to have napkins fur-
nished by the college, clean, three
times a week!

The napkin plan, as voted on by
the student body on the morning of
March 4, is as follows:

Each girl is to donate six napkins
With these,
and the ones left by former students
in Miss Miller’s care at the laundry,
Miss Davies thinks that the college
community can be furnished with
clean napkins three times a week.
Paper napkins will be provided for
those whose roommates lie hungry
abed, or who think they will need
nourishment before the next meal.

to the common store.

If you do not now possess six
napkins, you can buy them at 75c¢
for six. Have them réady.

“Ballads of old tell us how the beau-
tiful maid Marion was won by the
bold Robin Hood; and that they lived
happily ever afterwards.” One of the
happy incidents of their later life
was a May Day celebration in Sher-
wood Forest given in their honor. On
this occasion, Little John, one of Rob-
in Hood’s most faithful yeomen, was
at last successful in his suit for
Kate’s hand. His happiness was com-
plete when Robin Hood approved his
happiness as a boon.

Student Life In

Denmark

By Ingeborg Liisberg

(Fellow of the American-Scandi-
navian Foundation)

Continued From Previous Issue

The buildings and the customs of
Regensen are both ancient. Christian
IV, who is known in Denmark as the
builder-king, erected this brick court
as a residence for students in 1628
and built beside it the Round Tower,
one hundred and fifteen feet high,
as an observatory for the famous
Tycho Brahe. From
Regensen the students of 41659
marched to the defense of the city,
first bartering with the King to elect
their own officers, who, they stipu-
lated, were not allowed “to treat them
to cuts, blows and abuse.” It was a
procession in the Rembrandt manner,
of cavaliers with plumed hats and
spurs, and swords to be used now
against the enemies of the country
and again in brawls with the young
aristocrats of the town.

But in the eighteenth century, dis-
putation took the place of the duel,
and students fought in mad Latin
syllogisms to determine such facts as
whether the world was round or flat
and what sort of tree was the Tree
of Knowledge. Ludvig Holberg, the
father of Danish drama and professor
at the University from 1717 to 1754,
has caught the spirit of these disputa-
tions in his excellent comedy, “Eras-
mus Montanus,” whose hero preferred
this high-sounding title to his own
soil-stained name of Rasmus Berg. In
Regensen, much of Denmark’s drama
and verse has been composed, espe-
cially in the nineteenth century when
the students were roused to new pa-
triotic fervor by the songs of their
poet leaders.

The life of the students in Regen-
sen escapes the public eye. The great
traditional festivals are attended by
only residents of Regensen and they
are never reported in the press. One
of the greatest of these annual festi-
vals is nothing other than the celebra-
tion of the birthday of a linden tree
planted in the center of the court in
1785. Her birthday—Mme. Linden is
the only lady in residence at Regensen
—is celebrated each year on the
twelfth of May. Clad in her new
dress of light green and with a pair
of white gloves on her branching
fingers, she receives the congratula-
tory handshakes of the students and
good wishes for the new year.
Through the brilliant northern night,
which at that time of year never
comes to complete darkness, song's
and speeches rise in her honor while
the Round Tower like a venerable
grey giant looks down over the tile
roof and brick walls upon the noisy
throng.

The man in command at Regensen
is the Provost, who is selected from
among the professors of the Univer-

astronomer,

a sinecure; the Provost of 1632 had

are many

There is a Students’ Council chos-
en each year by the students to stand
as their official representatives be-
fore the University and the public.
The Council is divided into commit-
tees corresponding to the five facul-
ties and has such academic duties as
toe purchase foreign scientific jour-
nals and doctors’ theses for distribu-
tion among the students of the Uni-
versity. The Council has arranged
international conferences on philol-
ogy, medicine, and other subjects of
research; it has raised funds for suf-
fering students in Central Europe
and Russia and for the restoration of
libraries in devastated France and
Czecho Slovakia.

The chief clubs are the Studenter-
frening (Student Union), whose poli-
tics are Liberal-Conservative, and the
Studentersamfund (Student Associa-
tion), which is inclined to be radical.
The first of these was established in
1820, the second 62 years later. In
these clubs there are libraries and
reading-rooms, and halls for Saturday
night lectures or dances. A group of
American students visiting Copen-
hagen during the summer of 1922
were given a reception in the majes-
tic halls of the Student Union, a
building which reminded them of the
university clubs to be found in Amer-
ican cities. Three long tables were
placed in one of the great halls and
on these were only the flags of Den-
mark and America and huge bowls
of punch. It is the custom for any-
one who wishes to make a speech to
rise and tap his glass with his knife.
On this occasion a Danish student
felt moved to speak of the Norse
discovery of America by Leif Erics-
son in the year 1000, and an Ameri-
can replied by telling of the sec-
ond discovery of America by a
Scandinavian, Andrew Volstead, who
did away with America’s old Norse
name of Vineland or Wine-land, But
the Student Union plays a practical
as well as an ornamental part in stu-
dent life. There is, for instance, a
committee which places students on
the farms at harvest time to help
with the harvesting and to live as
members of the farmer’s family.

Juniors Present
Fashion Show
Saturday Night

Fashion Queen and Maids Make
Lovely Models

The fashion show presented by the
junior class on Saturday evening,
March 14, with clothes kindly lent
by Mr. Frohsin, of Atlanta, was a
delightful success. Now while we
are making plans for spring holidays,
we are thinking of pretty clothes to
make the home town sit up and take
notice when we return. Nowhere,
then, could our money have been more
profitably spent in seeing the styles
than in viewing these lovely clothes
from Frohsin’s worn by stylish misses
of Agnes Scott.

The scene was laid at a gay coun-
try club, and the program was di-
vided into four parts, morning, after-
noon, evening, and the appearance of
the fashion queen. Frisky Gooper,
strikingly gowned in a dark dress
with a red and black Spanish shawl,
acted as “barker” and read before
each part clever little verses writ-
ten by Nan Lingle.

The following was the introduction
to the morning scene at the country
club:

Some folks say, I’ve heard them say
it,

Clothes can make you pretty, yes,
But we contend this sort of beauty

Is just skin-deep at its best.

Now gentlemen, and all you ladies,
Do not heed this foolish brawl,
After all the simple truth is
Save the surface, you save all.

Mr. Frohsin from Atlanta
Knows this argument is true.

| More than that—tonight he’s lent us
Means of proving it to you.

Follow me, my friends, a little
To a country club house gay.
Watch the costumes on this terrace
For the space of one short day.

Day there starts as soon as sunrise
So we must be there by dawn

Would we see the wealth of bounties
Fashjgn gives this year to morn.

| Walking, swimming, golf and tennis
Make the morning seem too short
Sport and laughter, fun and frolic,
With this type of dress is bought.
Then one by one the following five
girls appeared showing the latest
thing in sport wear for tennis and
golf: Peggy Rankin, Eloise Harris,
Louise Sydnor, Ellen Walker, Cath-
erine Mitchell.
Frisky, after this, reappeared and
read:
Afternoon you say is dreary?

Sophie - Newcomb
Debaters To Arrive
Friday

After the excitement of seeing our
own debaters off on Wednesday, and
hailing Sophie Newcomb’s representa-
tives on Friday, Agnes Scott will be
all prepared for the great final event
Friday night.

Sophie Newcomb is sending as her
team, Charlotte Voss and Ethel Bauer,
with Ruby Foster as alternate. The
debaters will arrive some time Fri-
‘day morning, the exact train which
they will take not being known when
this paper went to press.

As usual, a luncheon will be given
for the home and visiting teams in
Rebekah dining room on the day of
their arrival. Representatives from
various Agnes Scott organizations will
be present. Speeches will be an inter-
esting feature of the luncheon pro-
gram,

Friday, and the arrival of New-
comb’s debaters is indeed greatly an-
ticipated by the entire college.

Miss Rowe Presents
Gift To Armistead
Memorial Fund

There are some people whose in-
fluence is so great, because of their
broad sympathies and their love of
their fellow kind, that they make an
indelible impression on the lives of
all whom they touch, no matter how
slightly. Such a man was Dr. J. D.
M. Armistead, for many years the
head of the English department of
Agnes Scott. In memory of this be-
loved teacher, various Alumnae and
members of the faculty have started
a fund for the care and maintenance
of the Armistead Memorial Rome in
the library, which they hope to main-
tain as a lasting monument to his
work and influence.

Just recently this fund was added
to by a gift of one hundred dollars by
Miss Margaret Rowe. Miss Rowe
graduated with the class of 1919. Dur-
ing her college years she was great-
ly interested in English work. She

was a member of B. O. Z. and worked
on the Agonistic. Recently she won
the drama prize of two hundred and
fifty dollars offered by Miss Mary
Kirkpatrick, Alumna. Remember-
ing her years
constant inspiration which Dr. Armi-
stead was to her, and all the other
students, she immediately sent one

hundred» dollar's! of .the nrize to the!

Memorial Fund. This money will
be used to buy duplicate copies or
new books, which will be placed in
the English room. It is the hope of
those interested in the plan that the
books which are placed in this room
will be to each successive class in
some measure the inspiration which

Dr. Armistead was to every girl in his |

classes.

ranged, and if Miss Hopkins does not
receive the missing schedules at once,
she will be compelled to arrange the
examinations with reference to the in-
formation on hand only. This will
undoubtedly lead to conflicts and
cause much inconvenience.

System of Proctoring
Changed

At Student Government meeting
on last Tuesday night, Mary Ann Me-
Kinney announced that the Proctor
system had been changed, after the
motion had been agreed upon by Col-
lege Council and the student body.
There is now to be a Proctor Board
composed of twenty proctors and a
chairman, who is to be a senior mem-
ber of the Executive Board.

The board will meet once a week
to discuss matters in the interest of
the dormitory, and a representative
will meet with Lower House. The
chairman will report at each regular
meeting of the Executive Board.

The proctors will be chosen accord-
ing to their ability, and will hold the
position for two months. This posi-
tion will not be a thankless one, as
each proctor is to be given six points,
and will be held responsible for the
order on her hall.

This new system will go into effect
on Tuesday, March 17, and is expected
to be effective in securing better or-
der and reducing the number of
knocks,

Wednesday a Holiday

The unexpected always brings an
immense thrill and quite often a de-
lightful surprise. The holiday last
Wednesday came to the Hottentots
with almost as little warning as a
spring shower in April, and was as
welcome as a cool and pleasant oasis
to a weary caravan traveling over the
burning wastes of the Sahara. Vari-
ety is, indeed, the spice of life!

Whisperings and vague rumors cir-
culated about the campus, and, by
supper time on Monday, March 9th,
some daring souls were suggesting
that a holiday was on the way. The
majority, however, knowing that
classes as Agnes Scott, like the laws
of the Medes and Persians, alter not,
remained skeptical. During the meal,
a notice was read to the effect that
an important announcement would be
made in the chapel after prayers.
Needless to say, the chapel was crowd-
ed, and the air was simply tense with
excitement. After prayers, Miss Ran-
dolph announced that the campaign
to raise the fund for the swimming-
pool and stage for the new gymnasium
building was coming along nicely and
all were sure of success, but that it
would be a good thing to wind up the
campaign as soon as possible. In or-
der to do this, the faculty had decided
to give a holiday as soon as the full
amount should be pledged. Myr. Her-
mance had promised to pay the last
$500, anid the sum to be raised was,
therefore, only $1,650. If the total
amount were pledged by Tuesday
night, Wednesday would be a holiday.
The vociferous clapping and cheering
which ensued gave strong evidence
|that there would be no classes on
Wednesday.

Committees from Hoasc, Black-
friars, and the Athletic Association
started to work immediately and
|made an intensive and extensive sur-
vey of the campus in an effort to see
‘all students who had not made pledges,
Excitement was rampant, and specu-
lation as to the probability of a
holiday was the only topic of con-
versation. The commotion was in-
ereased by a fire drill shortly after
|lights, when it was announced that
only $700 was lacking to complete the
fund.

The good work went on all Tuesday
morning, and the fund increased by
leaps and bounds. The burning ques-
tion of the day was “To study or not
to study”; some, in fact, the majority,
glad of a reason to forget books,
cast worry to the winds and planned
how they would spend the next day;
| but more cautious individuals, believ-
|ing in preparedness, kept their heads
and pegged away at the usual routine
—that is, as far as the all-pervading
agitation would permit. At dinner, the
excitement became an uproar, when
the fact was announced that the whole
amount had been pledged, and the
next day would be a holiday.

A time of rejoicing followed, and
all joined in the song of triumphant
gladness. A whole spring day without
a single class! Would wonders never
cease! A holiday in such gay weather
was intrinsically a thing of joy, but
this holiday meant much more, for
it was a symbol of victory, a pledge
that the new gymnasium would be
equipped in the proper manner and
that the swimming pool and stage
would take an important place in
its construction.

VIRGINIA CLUB MEETS

The regular monthly meeting of the
Virginia club was held Monday eve-
ning, March 9. The members met in
Mr. Dieckman’s studio at 9 o’clock
and, after a short business meeting
spent the rest of th ehour as a social.
Much news of paramount interest was
discussed and every one enjoyed the
evening to the fullest extent. Deli-
cious ice cream and cakes were served
by the hostesses, Misses Frances Mc-
Colyan and Margaret Hyatt.

INFLUENCE

In the physics laboratory we become acquainted with an in-
fluence machine. This is a contrivance for producing electricity,
and it has the ability to cause an electric charge on any conductor
brought near it. Men and women are, in a sense, influence ma-
chines, mechanisms for developing character, and they have the
ability to impart the expression of character, their ideals, to all
the people with whom they come in contact. A college campus is
to a high degree a place of contacts; in fact, some students avow-
edly go to college for the sake of the friendships which they hope
to make there. Fortunately, college students as a class realize
the grave responsibility of influence which is involved in living in
such a community. But how do they go about exerting it?

Dr. Stalker, in his “Imago Christi’, discusses very completely
two dangers which confront those who have taken seriously the
problem of necessary influence. In the first place, important as
influence is, we cannot afford to give it too prominent a place in
deciding upon our actions, for then conduct would appear so re-
sponsible that we should hesitate to do anything, and energy would
be greatly curtailed. If in considering whether or not we should
take a church cut, attend a lecture, or go to a dance, we should
carefully determine the effects that our attendance or non-attend-
ance would have upon our friends, certainly we should all soon be
mental urchins and fit to attend nothing. But this danger is not
a real one to college students for the thoughts of youth are entirely
too ego-centrie to be seriously cumbered by a sense of responsibil-
ity to others. Dr. Stalker’s second warning is, perhaps, liver.
Seeking to exert a good influence might betray us into living so
much for effect as to fall into hypocrisy. Seniors, feeling their
importance in the eyes of Freshmen, might pretend a belief in hard
studying and rarely open a book themselves; or express horror at
the violation of any of our student government rules, and yet not
seruple to go back to their own dormitories and talk in the halls.
Then, there is another side to this danger, hypocrisy resulting
from the effort to make a favorable impression in the eyes of
somebody. We may profess enmity to the habit of studying on
Sunday, in the company of a revered friend, and proceed to in-
dulge that habit when she is gone. Or we may pretend to be
delighted with a poem which really bores us intolerably. Perhaps,
too, students now and then pretend, for the sake of the faculty,
a consuming interest in a subject which has no interest for them.
a or not the faculty are deceived, only they themselves

ow.

The solution to the problem of exerting influence is simple. Our
influence is the direct equivalent of our worth. Every step in in-
dividual progress is also an increase in influence. We need not
inform people of what we stand for, our acquaintances take knowl-
edge of us, anyway, whether we are good, bad or indifferent, and
are influenced accordingly. When we try to make an impression,
just then is when we fail to impress: “The road to influence is
simply the highway of duty and loyalty.” :

A FOOL THERE WAS

A fool there was and he stayed up
late,
Even as you and I,
And all he did was proserastinate,

ners, baby clothes, scarfs, laces, etc.,
the lovely hand-made handkerchiefs,
selling for $1 each, were perhaps the
most popular. Large sales were
made too, of Turkish candies, fur-
nished by the Woman’s Auxiliary of
the Greek Church in Atlanta, and of
Agnes Scott’s favorite drink, coffee,
topped with an inch of whipped cream.
Up through Friday night, it was an-
nounced that one hundred and ninety-
five dollars had been made for the
Greek refugees.

Even as you and I;

He left his work to meet its fate,
Until Exams made him hesitate,

The highest he got was 68,
Even as you and I,

A fool there was and he studied late,
Maybe as you, not I,

He’d never loaf or dissipate;

His Prof. he tried to imitate,
Alibis he’d relate,

The lowest he got was 98.

FRATERNITY WORLD IS _ IN-
VADED BY KU KLUX

Many are mystified, some are in-
dignant, at Albany, New York, over
the report that the Exalted Order of
the Ku Klux Klan has been incor-
porated for over a year in the guise
of a Greek letter fraternity, the Al-
pha Pi Sigma.

The papers of incorporation char-
acterize the Alpha Pi Sigma as a
“purely fraternal, patriotic society,”
which will “own and control all re-
galia necessary to the proper con-
duct of its affairs” and will “hold
meetings in groups,” not only in the
state of New York, but also “in the
entire United States.”

This new society is said to have
been organized by the Klan as a way
out of difficulties caused by nullifi-
eation proceedings against the incor-
poration of the Knights of the Ku
Klux Klan.
due to the fact that alterations were
made in the papers of incorporation
between the time they were approved
by the Supreme Court Judge, George
E. Pierce, in Buffalo, and subsequent
filing in Albany.

Suspicion as to the true nature of
this ‘frat’” was aroused when it was
learned that Wilson D. Bush, Kleagle
and personal representative from At-
lanta, in New York, whom loyal
klansmen call “His Excellency,” is
mentioned in the incorporation pa-
pers of the society as its president.
The phrase declaring that “both
sexes” are eligible for membership
also aroused suspicion. Then a com-
parison of these papers with the
nullified documents of the Knights
of the Ku Klux Klan revealed their
very startling similarity.

Supreme Court Justice Charles L.
Guy, who approved of and consented
to the certificate of incorporation,
when told what had been learned
about the Alpha Pi Sigma, expressed
indignation. He said that when he
approved tie papers of incorporation
that they were for a college fra-
ternity.

Robert L. Noah, who drew up the
papers declared that he thought Al-
pha Pi Sigma was to be a general
fraternity to which college men who
belonged to any fraternity would be
eligible-——The Cadet.

DREAMS

“Life, do not take my dreams away—
You may have all but these.
Put poverty upon my back
And stoop me with disease;
*Reave me of hope, of friends, of love,
And what thy whim beseems;
Make nothing out of all I have—
But do not slay my dreams.”
Dreams are very fragile things, and
yet they are the stuff of which the
world is made; they are the founda-
tions of men, institutions, and nations.
Some man’s dreams have made pos-
sible all the things which we now en-
joy. Our beautiful buildings, magnifi-
cent cities, teeming colleges, gigantic
business corporations, and marvelous
inventions are all a product of dreams.
The splendid, awful, scintillating
world was conceived and is built en-
tirely upon a foundation of dreams.
The homes we love, the college we
attend, the achievements of science
and art were founded on dreams.
Then why do we laugh at the dream-
er? Why are we ashamed and afraid
of our own dreams? Your dream may
sometime be a beautiful painting,
which will inspire thousands; your
neighbor’s dream may sometime ma-
terialize into a great settlement
house, where many will be comforted;
my dream may sometime be a pros-
perous business organization, Are

these things to be laughed at or to
be ashamed of?

Let us be true to our dreams so
that neither poverty nor disease, de-
spair nor fear of ridicule, love nor
hate ean slay them, for they are the
precious foundation upon which lives
are built.—Exchange.

Woodrew Wilson College

Last year the Chamber of Com-
merce of Milledgeville, Ga., instituted
a drive for funds for the establishment
of a Woodrow Wilson Memorial Col-
lege. Pledges amounting to $500,000
were raised. A tract of a hundred
acres was purchased and the drive for
funds was made country-wide through
the American Legion and the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.

A committee of educational experts,
headed by President Sidney Mexes, of
the College of the City of New York,
and David F. Houston, a member of
the Wilson cabinet, were requested to
advise as to the type of college to
be created. Limitation of the student
body to not more than 400 or 500; en-
rollment of only those students who
show unmistakable signs of becoming
leaders; limitation of number of sub-
jects taught to those conducive to in-
tellectual leadership; good salaries of-
fered men of high ability, were the
recommendations made by the com-
mittee.

This advice will, in the main be fol-
lowed. Quality, not quantity, say the
proponents of the cause, will be the
keystone of the college—the type of
instruction that Woodrow himself
would have most heartily approved —
New Student.

Two Virginia Colleges, Emory and
Henry, and Stonewall Jackson, have
jointly received a bequest of $50,000
from the estate of the late Mrs. J. L.
Stuart. The fund is to be used for
scholarships.

A. 8. C. INTERCOLLEGIATE DE-
BATING TEAMS MEET EACH
OTHER MONDAY NIGHT

In preparation for the final inter-
collegiate debates which will take
place Friday night, the Agnes Scott
affirmative team met the negative, in
the chapel Monday night. Both sides
presented debates in excellent shape,
and gave promise of putting up a
stiff fight Friday. Our negative
team, composed of Dorothy Keith,
Pocahontas Wight and Eloise Harris,
leaves for Lynchburg Wednesday,
chaperoned by Miss Gooch. Isabel
Ferguson, Catherine Graeber and
Larson Mattox will defend home ter-
ritory against Sophie Newcomb.

Quite a number of students were
gathered in the chapel Monday night

to hear the debaters, thanks to the
interest aroused by a preliminary
mock debate sponsored in chapel last
Friday by Pi Alpha Phi. Ellen Wal-
ker, president of Pi Alpha Phi, stated
the subject for the mock debate: “Re-
solved: That Every Girl Should Come
to the Debate Monday Night,” and
introduced the two famous speakers,
Miss Martha Lin Manly and Miss
Frances Bitzer, both of whom had
canceled important engagements in
New York and Washington, respec-
tively, in order to be with us that
morning. Miss Manly upheld the af-
firmative, and gave four convincing
reasons why all girls at A. S. C,
should attend the debate Monday:

1. Because they could thereby es-
cape the clutches of that Monday
night fiend, exec.

2, Because they would thus avoid
the usual Monday invitation, due to
being debarred from chapel on that
day.

Here Miss Manly dramatically
called for a glass of water, and was
quickly supplied.

3. Because “anticipation is better
than realization,” and therefore, the
Monday night debate must be better
than the Friday night one.

Two pictures were displayed for il-
lustration: One of lovers gazing rap-
turously into each others’ eyes; the
other, of lovers kissing each other,
with a somewhat pained expression.

4. Because answering Miss Manly’s
appeal to attend the debate would
give that lecturer desirable publicity.

Miss Manly closed her debate with
a sublime exhortation, greatly en-
forced by her magnetic personality:
“Please check your chewing gum and

notebooks at the door;

And you'll hear of immigration things
you never heard before.”

Then Miss Bitzer arose to defend
the negative. She gave five excellent
reasons why girls should not attend
the debate:

1. Because, by Monday night, girls
are so enraptured with their week’s
work that it is hard to tear them-
selves away from it.

2. Because the lovely spring moon-
light is so conducive to studying that —
one should not leave her room and ~
her books, except to have dates.

3. Because it would be very un-
pleasant to hear a discussion of im-
migration, which involves that pessi-
mistic prediction that if things con-
tinue as they are, our great grand-
children will have no standing room;
all open places will be usurped by
fruit-stand owners.

4. Because it would be better to
be escorted to exec secretly from
one’s own room than to be led out in
public view from the chapel, in ig-
nominy.

5. Because the ‘dear girls” owe it
to their mothers to stay in their
rooms Monday night and study.

In presenting her last argument,
Miss Bitzer was quite overcome with
emotion, and sat down amid much ar-
tistie sobbing.

Miss Walker then announced that
all students were requested to decide
in favor of the affirmative.

HAVE YOU FRIENDS EXPECT-
ING TO ENTER A. S. C. NEXT
FALL?

Miss Hopkins requests that all old
students who know girls expecting to
enter Agnes Scott next year, tell her
at once. She likes to know what
type of girls to expect, for such in-
formation is very valuable in helping
her to select roommates and place
girls in congenial parts of the cam-
pus.

Thursday Night.

Giddy, I don’t know whether I’m
‘level headed or not tonight, because
T’m so excited. You see, we had a
whole sure ’nuff holiday with no
‘strings tied to it yesterday—and as
a tee-total surprise too. I told you
about the money for the gym, didn’t
I? Well they told us if they got the
rest of the $7,500, we could have a
holiday and we did. Everybody
pledged so grand, and about dinner
time Tuesday everybody knew about
it—and do you know I got out of that
horrible Physics lab, (Don’t tell any-
body I said horrible tho!) Anyway
I had the best time I’ve ever had.

Then that night the Cotillion Club
had a dance, but never mind, you can
read all about that in the Agonistic
I’m sending you.

Giddy, have you got a true-love?
Mary Breedlove has—at least some-
body told me she did. And he was
dewn—or up I’ve forgotten which—
here last week-end. His name is
Isaiah Somebody. I imagine it would
be real romantic to have one, don’t
you?—a true love, Giddy, not an

SENIORS TO PRESENT LARSEN
MATTOX’S PLAY, “ILLUSION”

The Senior Class is going to pre-
sent Larsen Mattox’s play “Illusion,”

on Saturday night, March 21. This
play has the distinction of being the
only original play to be given on the
campus in several years. Larsen
completed the play just before Mrs.
Heyward’s visit. While here, Mrs.
Heyward read it and commented very

favorably on it. Larsen is the first
member of the drama writing part of
Blackfriar’s club.

The play itself is very interest-
ing, like that of all other good writ-
ers, such as Rostand and Shaw, the
plot deals with the problem of the
eternal triangle. Virginia, whose
home is in the Catskill mountains, is
in love with the hero, who is mar-
ried. Realizing that she can never
be married to him she is devoting
her time to experiment in chemistry.
Her friend, Gail, who is an author
of note, comes up to spend the sum-
mer with her. While there, Gail
finds out that the hero’s wife has
been killed in an accident and Vir-
ginia and the hero are engaged to be
married later. Having had a love
affair with him, herself, Gail does
not believe his sincerity and hints to
Virginia that if anything were to
happen to her to spoil her beauty,
the hero would sacrifice her, to his
career.

Virginia decides to test the truth
of it, and manipulates an explosion
which is supposed to disfigure her
face. She writes the hero and tells
him about it, and also tells him that
she will understand if he does not
want to marry her and that he may
break his engagement to come to see
her on the next Friday. Gail after-
wards finds that Virginia’s face has
not been hurt and after reading the
hero’s answering note, making a rath-
er evidently vague excuse for his in-
ability to come, telegraphs him the

CASH PRIZES FOR ORIGINATING
TRADE CHARACTERS

Now is the chance to make a for-
tune, with your brains. Oh, no, not by
selling them, as people have been
known to do but by using them. Four
hundred and eighty dollars in prizes
are being offered to people with orig-
inality enough to conceive of trade
characters to represent the following
retail businesses:
electrical

Masons materials,
supplies,
heating, ice and hardware. The con-
test is being conducted by the Pro-
gressive Merchants Bureau, Inc. A
trade character is a fanciful figure,
like the well-known spearmint one, or
the miniature messenger boy deliver-
ing Whitman’s Sampler, which typi-
fies a business or an industry. The
characters submitted should imme-
diately suggest the product, and
should be flexible enough to illustrate
its uses. The best type is one which
has real human interest, and pre-
sents dramatically the uses of the
products. As many drawings as de-
sired may be submitted by one per-
son, if each is put on a separate
sheet, with name and address of
sender. The contest closes March 31,
1925. Address mail to Contest Com-
mittee, Progressive Merchants Bu-
reau, Inc., 1819 Broadway, New York
City.

ANNOUNCED

From the girls who have been play-
ing in the class basketball games on
Friday nights, the college varsity for
1925 has been chosen, and was an-
nounced in chapel last Friday, March
13. To choose the six best players
from the abundance of excellent ma-
terial out this year was no easy task,
and, in some instances, the athletic
board, unable to decide the tie, gave
three places on the varsity instead of
two. The team as announced is:

Kell and Mary Cunningham,

Guards—Mary Keesler, Elizabeth

POETRY CLUB MEETS

The Poetry Club had a delightful
meeting with Mary Riviere, last
Thursday evening in the cabinet room.
Announcement was made of three
prizes offered this year to poets, One
contest, conducted by a Methodist
organization, closed on March 15th;
another sponsored by our Alumnae,
will close April 15, and the third, a
national contest, will be open until
May 15. Quite a number of poems
were read and criticised at the meet-
ing Thursday night, among them,
some by Margaret Bull, Mary Ri-
viere and Edith Richards. Miss Pres-
ton and Miss Bland read Sonnets, the
inspiration for which dated from the
time of Mr. Heyward’s visit. Delicious
refreshments of whipped cream and
cakes ended the evening’s enjoyment.

A POEM

I love to watch people eat cold slaw;
It reminds me of so many things:
Little boys flying kites,
Ladies’ petticoats hanging down,
Trailing wisteria,
Bundles come untied,
Hay riders in the autumn moon
light,
Torn curtains
breeze,
Dead narcissus stalks,
Feathers on a courtier’s hat,
Marcelled hair minus a net,
Niagara Falls.
I love to watch people eat cold slaw;
It reminds me of so many things.

The Students’ Association likewise>

provides free legal aid for students

by calling volunteer lawyers from the-

law department and arranges lecture
courses for artizans and workmen
conducted by scientists and technical
specialists.

There are many minor clubs, clubs
for every science and profession, dra-
matics and music. The Students’
Singing Society, which is almost one
hundred years old, has great popu-
larity in Denmark, and has made
tours to foreign capitals and uni-
versities singing their own gay stu-
dent songs, folk songs, and festival
cantatas. Organized athletics have.
only recently won a place in the stu-
dent life. There are clubs for rowing,
football, cricket, fencing, boxing,
track athletics, tennis, swimming, and
formal gymnastics. There are many’
differences. between the sport of
Denmark and America. Football is
most like American soccer, and in
rowing the four-oared shell is used
rather tha nthe eight-oared shell prev-
alent in America. The eight-oared!
shells are bad sea boats and the Dan-
ish crew often takes long trips around
the islands «cf Denmark and even
across to Norway. In the spring of
1922 four-oar outriggers won the
Scandinavian championships and at
Hamburg won a race in which twelve
German crews were entered,

The constitutional monarch of the
University of Copenhagen is the Rec-
tor Magnificus, who daring his brie.
term of offiee—one year—is the ad-
ministrative officer of the Univer-
sity and a member of the King’s
court, attending all ceremonial and
state functions wearing the great
golden chain of his office. Like a
constitutional monarch, the Rector
has his cabinet conta of twenty
elected members of the faculty, who
meet in the oldest’ building of. the
University, indeed of the city. This
little building of red stone, beneath
which is a erypt with two delicate
columns, was erected in the fifteenth
century and has been the meeting
place of the cabinet of the University
since the middle of the sixteenth cen-
tury. There was a time when the
cabinet was the board of censorship
for the literature and drama of the
country, and could sentence students
to a term in the crypt. Nowadays
the refractory student is disciplined
by suspension from the University.

The student of today looks upon his
work at the University as a serious
profession. In the words of a for-
mer Rector, Professor Jespersen, “the
time has passed when the students
could regard themselves and could
be regarded as a special class who
looked down upon others as philis-
tines who were snoring while the stu-
dents were pearl fishing—not always
for the clearest and most precious
pearls! They cannot regard them-
selves as a class placed above all oth-

ers, nor do they, as a hundred or half
a hundred years ago, belong to a defi-
nite social life. Thanks to the democ-
ratizing of society and the small ex-
pense of instruction, lesser folk can
now send their sons to the Univer-
sity.” The American student who en-
ters this democratic community, per-
haps as one of five fellows sent to
Denmark each year by the American-
Scandinavian Foundation, will re-
member with pleasure, and profit al-
so, the year spent at this northern
home of scholarship and science, He
may be sure of a hearty welcome from
his brother students at the ancient
University of Copenhagen.

Student Elections Held
For Coming Year

Browning, Peeler, Slaughter,
‘Graeber, Ogden, Duls,
Till, Chief Officers

Agnes Scott has weathered two
elections this year, the national presi-
dential election which took place in
the fall, and the student elections
which took place Thursday after-
noon. The two, of course, cannot be
compared in importance, but there
was greater interest on the campus
in the latter. Nor is it strange that
this should be so. Few of the girls
were of the legal age to vote in the
fall elections, there was not enough
doubt as to the outcome to make
things very exciting, and there was
the feeling that our desires could
make very little difference, and that
under the present scheme, things
would run along in much the same
fashion, no matter who was elected.

There was not nearly so much
apathy in regard to the student elec-
tions. Seniors sorrowfully cast their
votes with the feeling that this was
the last time they would have any
say-so about the conduct of Agnes
Scott. Freshmen eagerly made their
first venture in the “political” field.
Sophomores and juniors felt keenly
their responsibility in the matter. The
importance of every vote was real-
ized, and the forecast of popular
nominations could not be trusted.

The officers for next year would be
a worthy acquisition of any college.
They are well selected, ‘since fitness
for their positions and not personal
popularity was the criterion of the
voters. They promise to represent
the student body well next year, and
‘the Agonistic offers thhem congratu-
Jations and best wishes for a suc-
cessful year.

Those elected were:

Mr. Bergthold
Talks On Student
Friendship Fund

Hoase brought Mr. Bergthold
to the college Wednesday morning to
talk to the student body during the
chapel period about the Student
Friendship Movement. Mr. Berg-
thold is a resident of Decatur, but
he comes as representative of the In-
ternational Y. M. GC. A —having
spoken very often before audiences of
college men. ;

The point which he stressed most
was friendship—a friendship that
promotes active friendly relations be-
tween American and foreign students.
We, as students of the New World,
should willingly support this move-
ment. And what are the evidences
that we are living in a new world?
One of the very first that naturally
comes to our minds is the political
and economic independence of wom-
en. Across the ocean, too, there have
been epoch making changes in gov-
ernments. There are evidences, also,
of close friendly international rela-
tions in cooperative efforts to prevent
war and in extensive commerce. This
commerce, in turn, has been made
possible by great improvements in in-
dustry, transportation and communi-
cation. These evidences certainly
convince one of the existence of a
New World.

Yet, has our spiritual development
kept pace with our economic and polit-
ical development? Mr. Bergthold
says it has not, and that the only
hope is in the studen’ mind.

More particularly do the nations of
Europe who have been demoralized
by war and change of government
need the support of these student
minds. Yet, how can these students
serve their mission when faced with
dire need. First of all they have
physical needs of nourishment, cloth-
ing, and shelter. Perhaps as a re-
sult of this has come need for better-
ment of health of these students.
In one college, investigation was
made, and it was found that four per
cent of the students were in good
health; fifty-five per cent were seri-
ously undernourished; and one per
cent in such condition that ‘they
should have been isolated.

The characteristics of the student
mind which give great yitality and
strength to any nation are abounding
hopefulness, so often lacking in older
minds; idealism, which is the basis

New Proctors Chosen
To Serve Two Months

The new Proctor system which was
agreed upon by ‘college council and
the students went into effect on Tues-
day, March 17. The following girls
with Marie Rose as chairman were
chosen as members of the Proctor
board:

In Rebekah Scott—Evelyn Powell,
Roberta Winter, Courtney Wilkinson,
Grace Carr, Sarah Tate, Mary P.
Brown.

In Maine—Sarah Glenn, Jack An-

In Inman—Mary Weems, Dorothy

In Whitehouse—Charlotte Buck-
land.

In Sturgis—Elizabeth Greer.

In Lupton—Jessie Hoffman.

This board is an important part of
the Student Government Association,
and it is hoped that all of the girls
will cooperate in making it a suc-
cessful means of securing better or-
der in the dormitories.

Senior Class Presents
“Tilusion”

All Star Cast Interprets Play
Written by Larsen Mattox

The Senior Class scored quite a
success last Saturday night in the
presentation of a play, “Illusion,”
written and acted by its own mem-
bers. The author of the play is
Larsen Mottox, well-known on our
campus as a short-story writer of
ability, and recently received into
Blackfriars as the first member of
that branch of the club which will
write and produce plays to be acted
by the other members of the society.
Before the curtains parted Saturday
evening, the audience sang to Larsen,
and then called out insistently,
‘Author! Author!” until she ap-
peared on the stage, when a burst of
applause greeted Blackfriar’s first
playwright.

The play itself is an excellent piece
of art, well written and well moti-
vated. It held the strictest attention
of its audience. The plot is the eter-
nal triangle, this time made up of
two women and a man. The hero,
though the motivating force of the
whole play, never appears on the
stage. Gail, a cynic, and a famous
novelist, once and perhaps still, in
love with the hero, Lord Roberts,
tries to convince her cousin, Virginia,
a trusting, unsophisticated fiancee of
the unfaithfulness of Lord Roberts’
love. Virginia will not believe. A
chemical explosion which mars Vir-
ginia’s face brings out the truth;
Lord Roberts gives her up. But Gail
sends him a wire which brings him
back to himself, and the play ends
with a message from Lord Roberts
to Virginia that he will be there im-
mediately—externally a comic end-

ing, certainly; but really, tragic, for

the audience feels that Virginia is
laboring under an illusion; that Lord
Roberts in whom she trusts is at heart
the unfaithful lover of Gail’s con-
ception. The tense feeling through-
out the play is relieved by the humor-
ous remarks of Virginia’s ald house-
keeper, who is continually “burning
her potatoes.” The acting was of
course unusually good, as the four

Agnes Scott Girl
Queen of Peach
Festival

Other Alumnae Maids of Honor

Agnes Scott always expects great
things of her children, but when one
suddenly becomes a queen, and two
others maids of honor,—well, Agnes
Scott is duly proud, as are all of her
other children who have not as yet
stepped into the “wide, wide world.”
The causes of the swelling of our
Alma Mater’s pride are: Ruth Evans,
Elizabeth Brown, and Nell Buchanan.
Ruth, a 1922 graduate, will be queen,
and Elizabeth and Nell, maids of
honor, at this fourth annual Peach
Blossom Festival at Fort Valley,
Georgia.

The festival, which all Georgians
know is one of the most picturesque
annual events given in the country,
took place on Thursday and Fri-
day, March 19 and 20.

The program, in which our girls
played so important a part, it was as
follows, for both Thursday and Fri-
day:

Coronation ceremonies—9:45 a. m.

Float parade—10:15 a. m.

Exhibition Drills and Fancy Riding
Detachment Sixth Cavalry U. 8.
Army—11:15 a. m.

Old Fashioned Georgia Barbecue—

12:15 p. m.

Pageant: “The Trail of Pink
Petals”—2:00 p. m.

Exhibition Drills.

high jumping; night attack; Star
shells; Pyrotechnics — Detachment

Sixth Cavalry U. S. Army—8:00 p. m.

Triangular Debates
Draw Large Crowds

Prof. Beblin Lectures
To Mathematics Club

If any student allowed the forbid-
ding title of Professor Beblin’s lec-
ture, “Plane Geometry as a Branch
of Physics,” to keep her away from
the open meeting of the Mathematics
club last Thursday night, she was
very much mistaken as to the tone
of the lecture. Mr, Beblin is profes-
sor of Mathematics at Princeton Uni-
versity, and he is a nationally known
mathematician. During the World
War he was an officer in the Ord-
nance department of the Army, and
in this capacity he was instrumental
in increasing the range of projectiles
over twenty-five per cent.

Under his skillful handling, a high-
ly technical subject became one of
great interest to his listeners.

He began his lecture by explaining
the abstract view of geometry .. .
the view which makes it simply a
branch of mathematics. Regarding
it from this angle, geometry is
founded on a series of axioms. It is
not required of these axioms that
they be true; but it is necessary that
they do not contradict one another.
Also, they must be stated in unde-
fined terms. A definition tends to go
back of a word, to search for its in-
trinsic meaning, which can never be
quite found. So in order to have a
beginning for any science, certain un-
defined terms must be accepted as
its basis. Professo~ Beblin defined
geometry, from a mathematician’s
point of view, as a system of proposi-
tions expressed in undefined terms,
and arrived at by enyrect logical reas-
oning.

But from the physicist’s point of
view—the point of view from which
Professor Beblin believed geometry
should be taught—it is a system of
propositions whose truth must be
tested by experiment. That is the
vital difference between the two con-
ceptions. A mathematician, having
arrived at certain conclusions by what
he believes to be correct reasoning,
makes no attempt to prove by physical
means the truth of his assumptions.
The physicist, on the other hand,
checks all his assumptions by means
of experiments and attempts to iden-
tify and locate undefined terms.

In physical researches are found
the basis of geometry. For this reas-
on, Professor Beblin contends that
students should be taught, first phy-
sics and then geometry, as a branch
of that science. They should learn ge-
ometry by means of physical ob-

Agnes Scott Wins One and
Loses One. Randolph
Macon Wins Both
Negative and
Affirmative

The great triangular debate, an
annual event which is looked forward
to with eager anticipation for many
weeks, which is worked for, longed
for, and greatly to be desired, took
place last Friday night. The ques-
tion for discussion was, “Resolved:
“That the American Immigration Act
of 1924 Will Promote the Best Inter-
ests of the United States.” Our af-
firmative team, composed of Isabel

Ferguson, Catherine Graeber, and
Larsen Mattox, alternate, opposed
Sophie Newcomb’s negative team,

made up of Charlotte Voss, Ethel

Bauer, and Ruby Foster, alternate.
The debates are held between So-

phie Newcomb, Randolph-Macon, and

.| Agnes Scott in the spring of every

year, and have become a decidedly
interesting, thrilling and vital part
of the yearly program of the colleges
concerned. These debates first began
in 1914 between Sophie Newcomb and
Agnes Scott. Later, in 1921, Ran-
dolph-Macon joined in, and thus the
triangle was formed. The affirmative
teams stay at home, while the nega-
tive teams go forth to battle for
their respective Alma Maters on un-
known soil. The questions chosen as
subjects for consideration are con-
cerned with present day affairs which
are of vital importance in the life
of the nation.

The debate was scheduled to begin
at half-past eight, but long before
the appointed hour, a large crowd
had gathered in the chapel. The slo-
gan, “Come early and avoid the rush,”
had been obeyed by many who wanted
to be sure of getting a good place.

Banners of Sophie Newcomb and
Agnes Scott hung at the back of the
stage, and a basket of gay peach
blossoms added a touch of spring to
the scene. The crowd presented quite
a contrast, for nothing about it re-
sembled the stately dignity of the
banners, or the calm still beauty of
the spring flowers. The throng was
in high spirits and ready to make
any amount of noise, but Helena Her-
mance, our ever present and ever
resourceful cheer-leader, was on hand
to calm the rabble and permit all to
give vent to their emotions with songs
and cheers. The excitement grew as
the moments slipped by, and, after
what seemed almost an eternity of -
waiting, the fateful hour arrived.
The audience stood up and sang, first,
the Alma Mater of Sophie Newcomb,
and then that of Agnes Scott. The
debaters, clad in white, marched on
the stage amidst a veritable burst of
applause.

Catherine Graeber, first speaker
for the affirmative, presented the
question, “Resolved: That the Ameri-
can Immigration Act of 1924 Wil
Promote the Best Interests of the
United States,” and by way of in-
troduction, showed that it has been

Carroll is making a tour of colleges in
behalf of the League and brought us
new ideas of our responsibilities. We
welcomed her even more cordially be-

RELAXATION

Ponce de Leon left the sunny fiields of Spain and came to
Florida, seeking the Fountain of Youth. Every now and then a
patriarch, who has lived to see his hundredth birthday, voices be-
lief through the medium of the paper that man need never die.
When one becomes sick, he goes to a doctor, in order to prolong his
life. Evidently, there is in man an instinct for self-preservation,
a desire to make life’s span on earth as broad as he can. Doubt-
less, then, he will welcome any aid toward the prolongation of life
which does not require of him too high a price. Such an aid is
relaxation—simple, physical, bodily relaxation—and relaxation is
a condition not only of health but also of good poise and of pleas-
ant voice.

In advocating the advantage of relaxation, we do not urge
a return to the old-time habits of sleeping one hour after dinner
(though undoubtedly it was a good one). Perhaps the science de-
partments should have slight objections to students napping on
the laboratory tables while frogs are being chloroformed, or elec-
tric currents are “making lightning”, or H-2 SO-4 is being
mixed with something equally as formidable. To relax, one need
not lie down. It is relaxation practically all the time, while walk-
ing across the campus, while studying, reciting, talking, eating,
that we would have. Many times a day one sees girls hurrying,
even running to classes, tense, “keyed up,” chest constricted, arms
cramped. Such a procedure is the opposite of healthful (to say
nothing of being a little unlady-like). Why not leave the room
a minute or two earlier and have time to walk freely and easily,
without tension and constriction of the organism?

In the library one often sees girls grasping their chairs or
pencils frantically, or kicking their feet, or bent over the table
with humped shoulders and narrowed chest, and, sometimes, even
chewing gum at a rate far surpassing the speed limit. All these
acts are evidences of nervous tension and of constriction. To relax
the hands, the feet, the chest, the jaws, would release energy from
them and allow it to go to the brain. We should then have free
bodies and brains at a high level tension. To relax the organism
is not so difficult if one makes a habit of trying it. It is simply
necessary to consciously give up every part of the organism to the
forces of gravity and to breathe correctly, with the diaphragm,
as one does in sleeping. Such relaxation is most favorable to
conditions of health, and lack of it, most unfavorable.

But relaxation also breeds social poise. To be free and
easy, to feel in absolute control of oneself, is to have confidence and
with confidence comes social poise.

The sympathetic relaxation of th eorganism establishes the
condition not only of poise, but also of good tone. Good tone is
a great asset, for the quality of a person’s voice is an index to his
character. A thin timid voice implies diffidence; a full, rich one,
confidence; a “heady” tone, lack of deep thinking; a cold one, in-
tellect without emotion, etc. Besides beautiful tone should be
developed simply from the esthetic point of view. _Now, to develop
good tone, relaxation is necessary. Every constriction of the or-
ganism affects the voice unfavorably; and excessive stiffness and
constriction bring about coldness and narrowness, nasality and the
like.

Relaxation—it seems too simple a matter to have far-reach-
ing effects on health, poise and voice. But the simplest beliefs and
practices are often the most fundamental. In this day of hurry
and strain, it is advantageous for Americans, especially, to realize
whither leads a constant physical condition of tenseness. Perhaps,
if we did, we should have fewer “nervous wrecks,”

MANY ENJOY SOCIAL FUNC-
TIONS ATTENDING EMORY
LITTLE COMMENCEMENT

The past week at Emory Univer-
sity, the second annual Little Com-
mencement at which seven students
received degrees, was one of most
enjoyable social events with nearly
a hundred girls as visitors.

The guests were received on Friday
afternoon. On Friday evening the
Emory Glee Club gave its annual At-
lanta concert at the Woman’s Club
auditorium. After this performance,
Mr. and Mrs. Joel Hunter entertained
for Bats Society with a formal re-
ception at East Lake Country Club.

Degrees were conferred on those
who had completed the requirements
at the end of the quarter in Convoca-
tion exercises held in the Theological
building Saturday morning.

At noon Saturday, visiting girls
were entertained at luncheon by a
number of organizations.

On Saturday afternoon a tea was
given in a downtown hotel by the
Senior class, honoring all visitors who
attended Little Commencement. Fol-
lowing this, the finals in the Pan-Hel-
basketball

The Student Activities Council gave
a buffet supper at Habersham on
Saturday evening, the council being
one of the sponsors of Little Com-
mencement.

At the Winter Quarter Convoca-
tion held in the Theological chapel on
Tuesday morning, March 24, Dr. Al-
bert A. Murphee, president of the
University of Florida, delivered the
baccalaureate address, and at this
time seven students received degrees.

COTILLION CLUB DANCE GREAT
SUCCESS

The Cotillion Club entertained on
Tuesday night with another of those
brilliant affairs which help to give to
our campus life that much desired
but evanescent social quality.

Each member of the club was priv-
ileged to invite one guest and these
appeared gowned in frocks appro-
priate to the season and to the oc-
casion

hostess, equally gay.

Music was provided for the dancing
by a four-piece orchestra secured for
the occasion through the influences
of the officers of the club and was

“There are two great social prob-
lems of today,” says Dr. Carlton J.
H. Hayes in a recent lecture on prob-
lems of the present social order, in-
ternationally and nationally, given at
the North Carolina College for Wo-
men. Dr. Hayes, in his lecture, pointed
out that the two greatest social prob-
lems of today are: Lack of interest of
the worker in the goods he is produc-
ing, and the degradation and poverty
that is resulting from modern improve-
ments instead of the comfort and
wealth that should have resulted. The
speaker further pointed out that
though these problems cannot be en-
tirely cured, they can be greatly miti-
gated by each person doing his in-
dividual duty.

In keeping with the modern trend of
teaching languages by speech in place
of by book and translation, the ad-
ministration at Emory University has
seen fit to establish a laboratory pe-
riod in the basic French courses. At-
tendance to these conversational ses-
sions is entirely optional with the
students.

Instruction in American universities
encourages a spirit of dependency and
paternalism as contrasted with the
European universities, is the opinion
given by Prof. Lawson of the Uni-
versity of California.

“In foreign countries the student
is left to his own resources in fol-
lowing his college work, but here he
expects to be driven and does not
develop his initiative or personality.
He is encouraged to memorize instead
of apply his knowledge.”

This is what

The old cabinet is now extending
the glad hand of fellowship to its
new officers; we who are leaving so

soon are wishing for those who come
in, the greatest joy and success in
the duties they are undertaking, and
we are glad beyond measure that we
can leave the Y. W. C. A. work in
such competent hands.

Immediately after Spring holidays
the Georgia Cabinet Training Coun-
cil will be held at Highland. At this
time all the colleges of Georgia send
their cabinet members to Highland
for a week-end in which to think of
the work for the coming year and to
make certain plans for its carrying
out. We sincerely hope all the mem-
bers of the new cabinet will be able
to attend.

The first Sunday after Spring holi-
days is Installation service for the
new officers. This is always a beau-
tiful and impressive service, and one
which brings a tightening of the
heartstrings to the seniors, for they
are handing the light on to others,
who will be soon doing the work
which has meant so much to them.
We hope this service may be as beau-
tiful and impressive as those which
have gone on before.

ECONOMICS CLASS VISITS
COTTON EXCHANGE

The class in Economics, chaperoned
by Miss Dayis, visited the Atlanta
Cotton Exchange on Monday, March
16th. They arrived just in time for
its opening at 9:00 a. m. Many in-
teresting features of the exchange
were brought before their attention
by Mr. Smithe, of the Exchange, who
pointed out the apparatus over which
wires can get to New York and back
in one minute, and cables to Liverpool
and back in three minutes. Mr.
Smithe also explained to them some
of the technical terms of the stock
market, as “hedging.” Everyone en-
joyed this visit very much as well as
feeling greatly benefited by it.

ECONOMICS CLASS SPONSORS
MOVIE BY ALL SILK HOSIERY
COMPANY

A motion picture prepared by the
All Silk Hosiery Company will be
shown to the Agnes Scott students on
Wednesday night, March 25. This
picture deals with the manufacture
of silks from the beginning of the
cocoon in Japan through the various
processes of maturing, harvesting, and
manufacturing down to the actual
making of the stocking. The picture
will be conducted by the All Silk
Hosiery agent from Atlanta and is
brought to the college under the
sponsorship of the economics depart-
ment.

This company has an agent at
Agnes Scott, Clyde Passmore, who
will be very glad to discuss the value
of this hosiery with the students and
take their orders. The hose are four
pairs for five dollars guaranteed for
a month’s constant wear and are con-
stantly worn by the ladies of the
country.

I love to watch people’s hands,

The agents of all this world’s toil
and beauty.

Baby hands, plump and fat.

Hands, old dried, veined like a wilted
flower.

Soft white hands, manicured, per-
fumed;

Scarred hands, indicative of pain and
manual labor.

The artist’s hands, creating, bearing
colors towards a finished sunset.

The scrub-maid’s hands, drawn and

thin from too much soaking in water
and hard soap.

Hands of the artiste, the violinist,

Searching for his cutting melody.

Mother’s hands, thin, caressing, ex-
tended in benediction, folded
in prayer.
Flapper’s hands, lying in an-
other’s, hot, flabby, feigning
affection.

Hands inviting, beseeching,

Hands repelling, in anger, clinched
with their emotion.

Hands clutched on the auto’s wheel,
guarding against death.

Tiny fragrant pink tipped hands, lying
lightly on the escort’s arm.

Busy hands, capable hands, idle hands,

Cruel hands, talon-like, clutching;

Friendly hands, loving.

I love to watch people’s hands,

The agents of all this world’s toil
and beauty.

the consistent policy of the United
States, even from Colonial times, to
oppose immigration and, in the latter
years of her history, to restrict the
influx of foreign peoples. The affir-
mative based its argument on the two
issues: that distinct advantages are
made by the act along principles in
line with the policy of the United
States; that the act will definitely
improve conditions in the United
States. Catherine Graeber estab-
lished the first point by explaining
in what manner the bill is both re-
strictive and selective; and how it
will, by virtue of these qualities, pre-
serve the national life of the United
States, solve the problem of immigra-
tion, and save America for Ameri-
Her colleague, Isabel Fergu-
son, in support of the second issue,
showed how the immigration act will

litical situation in America.

cans.

Charlotte Voss, first speaker for
the negative, set forth the arguments
on which the negative founded its
proof, namely: That the immigration
act favors the nothern part of Europe
and discriminates unfairly against
the that
Japan has been unjustly treated be-
eause of the cancellation of the Gen-
tlemen’s Agreement; that the immi-
gration bill conflicts with the basic
principles upon which our nation is
founded; that the bill cuts off the
supply of unskilled labor needed by
the industries of the United States.
Charlotte Voss supported the first
three arguments by showing that the
bill was passed in a time of industrial
depression for the purpose of catching
the floating vote of the labor party in
the presidential election; that it is
conducive to racial, religious and na-
tional hatred in the United States;
that it fosters the enmity of Japan;
that the immigrants who have come
to America in past years have helped
to bring prosperity to the nation.
Ethel Bauer, her colleague, handled
the economic side of the question and
showed that immigration is not the
cause of unemployment; that industry
demands unskilled labor; that if the
immigration act cuts off the supply
of unskilled labor, the negroes will go
to the north and, as a result, the
south will not have laborers for the
farms, that the trade unions have
nothing to fear from immigration.

The debating on both sides was

Athletic News

Every one is rejoicing over the fact
that we reached the new gym quota
last week, and memories of a glorious
holiday still lurk in our minds. Of
course the growth of the gymnasium
is a thing of joy, and we have a feel-
ing of pride as we look out of the
class room windows to watch the
men lay brick upon brick; but in spite
of all this, a few of the athletes re-
member track meet and long for the
hockey field back again.

It is quite bad that the athletic
grounds had to be the site of the
new building, but the mourners will
cease to weep when they have a new
gym and a new field both next year.
Meanwhile the few track events that
do not require great space will be
practiced, and indoor base ball will be
the “game of the season.”

Camping, too, is as popular a sport

Naturally we were disappointed
for the time being, for it is but hu-

feel sure, however, that our negative
team fought boldly and bravely and
conducted itself in a manner worthy
of Agnes Scott. No sincere, earnest
effort is ever futile or wasted, for the
apparent failures of today are but
stepping-stones to future success. As
long as we are loyal and true to
our Alma Mater, as long as we love
her and cherish her, as long as we
give her our best, so long will she
be a beacon light among the colleges
of the nation. ‘May her strength

Georgia Education Association
Holds Convention

Dr. McCain, Miss Hopkins
and Mr. Rankin Attend

The Georgia Education Association
held a convention in Macon, April 15-
18. The purpose of the convention
was to discuss questions concerning
the advancement of education in Geor-
gia, especially in reference to high

schools and grammar schools. Super-|

intendents, teachers, educators, from
all parts of the state were present,
and the conference was most success-
ful. Macon was more than crowded
with delegates during last week, for,
in addition, to the meeting of the
Georgia Education Association, many
kindred conventions were held at that
time; conventions of the superintend-
ents and county school officials of the
Georgia Physical Education Associa-
tion, of the Georgia Home Economics
Association, of the mathematics, mod-
ern language, English, public school
art, public school music and commer-
cial education departments, and of the
Georgia branch of the National Con-
gress of Parents and Teachers.

From Agnes Scott, Dr. McCain,
Miss Hopkins and Mr. Rankin at-
tended, the two former being present
at the convention of the Georgia Edu-
cation Association, and the latter at
the mathematics conference. Mr. Ran-
kin wished to discuss especially “How
the High School Can Better Serve the
College Freshman in His Mathemat-
ics.” He delivered an address, and
was elected chairman of the depart-
ment for next year.

A main feature of the occasion for
Dr. McCain, Miss Hopkins and Mr,
Rankin was a dinner given by the
alumnae of Agnes Scott at Hotel
Dempsey, on Friday, April 17. About
twenty-eight of our alumnae were
present, among them Miss Thyrza As-
kew, principal of North Avenue Pres-
byterian School, toastmistress; Lillie
(Little) Ryals, 97; Emma Wesley,
799; Rusha Wesley, ’00; Meta Barker,
702; Hilda McConnell, ’23; Christine
Evans, ’23; Geraldine Goodroe, ’23;
Eva Wassum, ’23; Sarah Kinman, 724,
and Caroline Lavendon, ’18.

Eva Wassum, ’23, was in charge of
the dinner arrangements. She was
also most thoughtful to Miss Hop-
kins, Dr. McCain and Mr. Rankin,
meeting Miss Hopkins and Mr. Ran-
kin, who came late, at the station,
entertaining all three at her home for
lunch, and taking them again to the
station when they were ready to
leave.

Students Elect Editor For
Silhouette

Nan Lingle to Edit Silhouette
of 1926

At a recent meeting of the student
body, Nan Lingle was elected to take
the place of Catherine Graeber, chos-
en at student elections for next year’s
editor of the Silhouette. As Pi Alpha
Phi needed Catherine next year to
heip uphold Agnes Scott against in-
vading debaters, and as Catherine
could not do this and edit the Silhou-
ette at the same time, she decided in
favor of Pi Alpha Phi, and resigned
from her office as head of the Sil-
houette staff.

Nan Lingle was the committee nom-
ination for the vacancy and also led
the popular nominations.

We are looking forward to an ex-
cellent annual next year.

Dr. C. I; Stuebel, of
Germany, Lectures

Present Condition of Germany
is His Subject

The International Relations Club
was fortunate in having Dr. C. I.
Stuebel, of Germany, to talk on “The
Present Condition of Germany and
The Result of The Reeent Elections.”
Perhaps the most repeated question
concerning Germany lately has been
the inquiry whether Germany will re-
main republican in form of govern-
ment or will go back to the monarch-
ial form.

In order to make the situation
clearer and more comprehensible, Dr.
Stuebel first explained that something
of Germany’s past history, aims and
ambitions should be taken into ac-
count.

As compared with the United
States, England and Russia, Germany
was at a great disadvantage in not
having any colonies from which to ob-
tain raw materials, or to which she
could send her surplus of population.
She was, moreover, held there in a
vice with England on the northwest,
France on the west and Russia on the
east; all three ready to check any
move on Germany’s part to push out
in any direction. Germany, he ad-
mitted, entered the field for coloniza-
tion too late; only a few little insigni-
ficant territories were left. Therefore,
how was she to solve the great prob-
lem of her imperative need for col-
onies. This, he felt, was a justifica-
tion for Germany's part in the War
of 1914, a i

In alluding to the hemmed in sit-
uation of Germany, again he justi-
fied to his satisfaction, at least, the
ruthless march across Belgium by
saying that it was the path of least
resistance.

He further pointed out that Ger-
many had great odds against her.
Austria-Hungary, her ally, being too
greatly disintegrated by her race
question to give much aid, and Italy
being unstable as well as weak.

Dr. Stuebel did not tell very much
about the present situation of Ger-
many, but he did reveal much of the
psychology of the Germans and Ger-
many.

Grand Opera Week
Attracts Throngs of
Delighted Listeners

April 20 issues in the long expec-
ted and eagerly awaited week of op-
era, when thousands flock to Atlanta
to hear the world’s greatest singers.
This is the Metropolitan Opera Com-
pany’s fifteenth visit to Atlanta. This
year five evening and two afternoon
performances will be given, one more
evening performance than before, a
change which will add to the season’s
social brilliance.

The selection of operas for the
season’s repertoire offers the greatest
variety, including as it does estab-
lished favorites by the most famous
Italian, French and German compos-
ers. A notably important feature of
the festival will be the first appear-
ance in Atlanta of the Metropolitan’s
new conductor, Maestro Lullio Sera-
fin, acknowledged to be the foremost
of the young operatic and sympho-
nic conductors of Italy. His advent to
the company has had a most stimu-
lating effect, winning for him the
heartiest praise from the most ex-
acting music critics of New York.

The repertoire is as follows:

La Giaconda Rosa Ponselle

Alvise Bodoero .. .. Jose Mardones

This opera is richly picturesque in
its Venetian atmosphere. An all star
cast, including the popular American
prima denna, Rost Ponselle, will make
the occasion exceptionally brilliant.
It will introduce a young Italian tenor,
Giacomo Lauri Volpi, new to Atlanta,
who has made a name in New York
after winning his spurs in the leading
theatres in Italy and South America.

Dr. E. V. McCollum
Speaks at Chapel

Importance of Diet in Preserva-
tion of Health, His Subject

Agnes Scott again had the pleasure
of hearing Dr. E. V. McCollum, noted
physiological chemist, during the

chapel hour, on Tuesday, April 14. |
Dr. McCollum continued the instruc-|

tive talk on nutrition which he had so
ably handled the previous evening.

Dr. McCollum stated that he would
give some lessons for daily life, be-
cause “physical health is the basis of
so many worth while things in life,
that, while it is, perhaps, not the
greatest thing in life, it is of primary
importance.” And at the basis of ex-
cellent health, is correct dieting, or
nutrition.

Dr. McCollum made several obser-
vations. He stated that girls, as a
whole, in Chicago are very small, that
people’s jaws are underdeveloped teeth
in decayed state very early, and that
few people are in really good health.
Practically all people from fifty years
of age on, have porous, brittle bones,
because of a diet of fine flour, meat
and sugar.

A child’s teeth begin to enamel at
the sixtieth day of pre natal life. This
enameling begins in tiny spots, which
steadily grow, eventually meeting. If
this process is hindered by lack of
proper substance for its development,
the teeth are never perfect, and are
readily subject to decay. Where, as
modern dentistry allows us to be-
lieved that our teeth are repaired, the
world at large is not benefitted, for
the succeeding generation will be just
as bad off, and probably even worse.
The ideal which should be before each
one, is the production of a generation
better than the present. Repairing our
teeth does not aid in this high aim.
And too, the problem of good teeth is

Pi Alpha Phi Elects New
Officers

Four New Members Admitted
To The Club

At a meeting last Thursday eve-
ning, Pi Alpha, Phi elected its offi-
cers for ne year. The girls
chosen are young ladies of unusual
talent, and promise to lead the club
most successfully in the year 1925-26.
They are as follows: President, Cath-
erine Graeber; Vice-President, Elsa
Jacobson; Secretary, Evelyn Powell;
Treasurer, Mary _Davis. Members
Debating Council: Olivia Swann, El-
oise Harris.

Tryouts for membership in Pi Al-
pha Phi were held in the chapel Wed-
nesday evening, April 15, at which
time Janet McDonald, Carolyn Essig,
Edith Richards,
were

and Mary Riviere
elected as new members.
Twenty-three aspirants made short
speeches with much earnestness on
such subjects as Resolved: That Af-
ternoon Classes Should Be Abolished;
That Gymnasium Work Should be Dis-
continued after Spring Holidays; That
College Examitiations Should Be Abol-
ished; etc, The four girls therefore,
who were successful among so many
competitors are to be congratulated
for gaining admission into Agnes
Scott’s debating club.

At the meeting of the club Thurs-
day night the four “girls were initia-
ted.

This year, for the first time, Pi
Alpha Phi has required of its incom-
ing members real initiations of the
horrible type connoted by the word,
initiation.

Can you imagine Carolyn as a starv-
ing Armenian, Janet an interpretive
dancer, Edith a chorus girl, and Mary
an Eskimo? Well, they were, Thurs-
day night.

Juniors Give Mum
Party
Juniors Give Clever Stunts

“A cent for every word you speak
A cent for every laugh and sneeze
The Juniors need your money

So just giggle all you please

Wednesday night at supper.

Juniors will change money at the
door.”

This notice together with attractive
posters announced the fatal night
when the Juniors collected fabulous
sums from over-talkative and super-
cilious Seniors, Sophomores and
Freshmen.

In the center of each table was
placed a little bowl to catch the pen-
nies of the unsuspecting girls who
could not eat without asking for some
supper, which was placed on a side
table, and each at the expense of the
others would laugh and soon the little
pennies jingled into the bowls.

During the entertaining meal, (for
the Juniors alone) a stunt was per-
formed by .Helena Hermance and
Edyth Carpenter, who were dressed
as outrageously as was permissible,
and aided in the good cause by their
ridiculous actions.

A similar party was given two
years ago, but it was not a bit more
successful. Despite the fact that
there have been many expenses for
the members of all the classes of late,
everyone was cooperative in her
efforts to make the “Mum Party” a
success with her “magnanimous con-
tributions” in pennies.

Last week-end found the new camp
the “official headquarters” of Hoasc,
as it sought to escape the demands of
college life and revel in the quietude
of the great out-of-doors for a time.
However, all was not calm within the
party! This trip offered a splendid
opportunity for the initiation of the
two new members,
Wight and Eugenia Thompson had to
suffer the consequences. Nevertheless,
they came back to classes Mon-
day morning none the worse for
wear, and they looked almost
as happy as freshmen who have
just paid a dollar each for their seats
in this honorary society.

The group went out Saturday af-
ternoon and returned Monday morn-
ing. Dick Seandrett and Polly Stone,
Hoase members of the class of ’24,
acted as chaperones.

The present members of Hoasc are:
Louise Buchanan, president; Emily

Pi Alpha Phi Awards
Two Cups

Harris and Ferguson Winners

Loving cups! Ware xcheomenv they ae

cause in the minds of us all! What
moments of anxious expectation and
delighted realization! Last week Pi
Alpha Phi was responsible for two of
these moments when they presented
the Armistead and Quenelle Harrold
cups to two fortunate girls.

Wednesday morning Miss Gooch
awarded the Armistead cup to Eloise
Harris, who was an alternate on this
year’s negative team which met Ran-
dolp-Macon in the intercollegiate de-
bate. The cup, which has been pre-
sented by an unknown donor through
the instrumentality of Miss Nell
Buchanan, the secretary of the Alum-
nae Association, is a memorial to Dr.
J. D. M. Armistead, who organized the
society and was during his life time
its moving and inspiring force. It is
a slender silver chalice on which is
engraved, “Armistead, 1871-1923. ‘As
a man thinketh in his heart, so is he’.”
Its donor stipulates that it shall be
given to the debater who has the
most pleasing delivery, who uses the
best English, and who shows the most
consideration for the viewpoint of her
opponents. Miss Gooch stated that
although the committee felt that sev-
eral of the girls possessed one of
these traits developed to a great de-
gree, Eloise possessed all three to the
greatest extent, Every student who
had ever heard Eloise debate and had
felt the charm of her personality, con-
curred heartily with the decision of
the committee.

On Friday, amid keenest excitement
on the part of the audience, Miss
Hearon presented the Quenelle Har-
rold cup for the best debater to Isa~
bel Ferguson. Quenelle Harrold was
president of Pi Alpha Phi in 1923 and
gave to it this cup, the winning of
which is considered the greatest hon-
or in the society. It is awarded to
the debater who has the best stage
presence and voice, who works faith-
fully and helpfully in the club, and
who presents the best arguments in
her debates. Isabel Ferguson re-
ceived the cup in recognition of her
service as alternate on last year’s af-
firmative team, and as final speaker
against Newcomb on this year’s team.
In receiving it, she receives also the
most sincere congratulations of the
fellow students.

HOW THE ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION KEEPS ITS MEMBERS
IN TOUCH WITH THE COLLEGE

Of all the organizations which have for a purpose the pro-
motion. of our Alma Mater’s interests, there is ee co ace so
enthusiastic, so unselfishly devoted, as the Alumnae Association.
What its members have done, we have not always known, for they
have worked quietly and without show; but the fruits of their
toil we have all enjoyed. To glance at the extensive program which
our Alumnae carry on for the glory of Agnes Scott would not only
make us proud of the product of our college, but would inspire in
us a double desire to become some day ourselves members of that
cherished association.

But first, a word concerning the history of the or. anization,
It was in 1895 that a small group of eee rownk woes met in
the parlor of the main building to discuss the formation of an
Alumnae Association. They called in Mrs. McKinney, and togeth-
er they set forth an ideal which has grown into a thing of in-
credible bigness. Then, there was only a handful of members, no
money and little to do. Now, thirty years later, there is a vast
and enterprising association of seven hundred paid members with
a budget of several thousand dollars a year; departments covering
every phase of work that can be done for the college; a part-time
general secretary, and a home on the campus. Under the lead of
Mrs. D. B. Donaldson, the organization promises to make as rapid
progress in the future as it has in the past.

Its work is carried on mainly through the medium of twelve
committees, as follows: Publicity, chairman, Louise Johnson, ’20;
preparatory schools, chairman, Julia Hagood Cuthbertson, ’20;
curriculum, chairman, Jane Harwell Rutland, ’17; house and tea
room, chairman, Annie Pope (Bryan) Scott, ’15; Louise McKinney
play contest, chairman, Mary Wallace Kirk, ’11; local clubs, chair-
man, Aimie D. (Glover) Little, ’21; vocational guidance, chair-
man, Ruth Scandrett, ’22; on beautifying grounds and buildings,
chairman, Allie (Candler) Guy, '13; entertainment, chairman,
Eugenia (Johnston) Griffin, '21; scholarship, chairman, Ethel
(Alexander) Gaines, ’00; class organization and records, chair-
man, Ruth (Slack) Smith, ’12; Alumnae Aid League, treasurer,
Belle Cooper, ’18.

Doubtless the work of the Alumnae Association best known
to the students is that carried on in connection with the tea room
and the alumnae house. In 1915, an alumna made an impassioned
plea to the organization of an alumnae cottage. In 1921, the Anna
Young Alumnae house was erected, and, with it, a tea room, for
the accommodation of students and visitors. Previous to this time,
the Y. W.C. A. of the college had managed a tea room in the base-
ment of the science building, but finding that students did not
have enough time’to give to it, had appealed to the Alumnae, Dr.
Gaines suggested the building of an Alumnae house, with a tea
room, and accordingly, the building was erected by the trustees
and alumnae. It ismeedless to suggest the advantage coming from
the Alumnae house, how it drives away the ‘blues’ with walnut
ice cream, or furnishes dainty suppers of salad and sandwiches,
and how it harbors visiting alumnae and college guests.

The committee on beautifying grounds and buildings has been
the inspiration for furnishing the parlors, and for setting out
shrubbery, and has itself given three tropical plants for ornament,
two for the chapel and one for the parlor.

The Alumnae offers an annual award of two hundred and
fifty dollars for the best play submitted by a student or alumna.
This year, however, the award will not be given, as three plays
were not submitted, and it is a rule of the contest that at least that
number must be turned in for the prize to be awarded. A poetry
prize also is offered to alumnae and undergraduates. This, amount-
ing to fifty dollars, will be awarded at commencement.

Alumnae of the college, citizens of Tallapoosa, Ga., and other
friends have established the Mary D. Sheppard Memorial scholar-
ship of $2,000, in honor of Miss Mary Sheppard, who was a teach-
er at Agnes Scott, and later a resident of Tallapoosa. The Alum-
nae have also established the Alumnae loan fund, the interest for
which is to be used for those who find it necessary to borrow
money for the completion of their college work.

AGONTS TLC

The Curriculum Committee investigates the courses offered
in the best colleges of our country, and sees to it that, when pos-
sible, Agnes Scott presents like courses. Recently the committee
has perfected a plan called the College After College, whereby the
Alumnae, beginning next October, will have the opportunity of
taking five or six correspondence courses, for the nominal sum of
one dollar a course. Miss Alexander is in charge of the courses.

A great achievement of the past year has been the formation
of new local clubs, at Richmond, Charlotte, New York, Lynchburg,
Anniston, Ala., and Birmingham. These clubs became centers of
Agnes Scott influence, and of course are helpful in a financial way.
The New York branch, for example, \has pledged five hundred
dollars towards the establishing of a chair of playwriting here. A
further account of the activities of the local clubs may be found
under the heading, “Alumnae News,” in this issue of the Agonistic.

The Alumnae Quarterly, edited by Louise Johnson, ’20, and
Nell Buchanan, ’22, keeps the Alumnae “in touch with the current
activities of the association, and the college, and with the inter-
ests of one another.” The April issue is especially interesting, and
would well repay perusal on the part of the students. —s

At the end of each year the outgoing senior class is invited to
join the Alumnae Association, and thus the organization is for-
ever perpetuated and forever growing. The Monday of Commence-
ment week is called Alumnae Day, and at that time Agnes Scott’s
daughters come back to the “sheltering arms” from far and wide.
The reunion this year promises to he much larger than ever be-

fore.

For the great work it is doing for us and for our college, the
Alumnae Association merits our deepest admiration. Indeed, we
may say with Dr. McCain that the Alumnae are “our chief joy

and pride.”

MRS, MOTTE MARTIN TALKS IN
CHAPEL

Agnes Scott was delighted to have
a visit from Mrs. Motte Martin, mis-
sionary to Africa, who spoke in chap-
el Friday morning. The subject of
her address was the Foreign Missions
Conference recently held in Washing-
ton, when eight thousand people were
and addresses
given. The theme of the convention
was the greater world war, against
not “flesh and blood,” but “principali-
ties and power.” A cry for help was
sounded for the heathen world, for
the Orient in general, where greedy
traders misrepresent Christianity, and

present, sixty-five

where native religions are most de-
generate, for China, where seventy
million women still have bound feet,
and two thousand farmers were re-
cently killed on account of their
stand against opium; for Korea, the
Holy Land of the East; for Japan;
Turkey, Egypt and for Africa, where
fifty millions have not yet heard the
name of Jesus. Here Mrs. Martin
stopped her talk to exhibit curios
from Africa, the hideous mask of a
witch doctor; an idol, a snake twelve
feet long, in which the natives
thought a god resided, and a piece of
palm fibre cloth, of the variety which
is buried with the dead.

“A certain Chinese student at Chi-
cago University,” Mrs. Martin con-
tinued, “was found collecting news-
paper clippings which show the lack
of right conditions in America.” It
is here, then, that we must begin the
fight against internal conditions.

Eighty per cent of the students at
the same university expressed no in-
terest in religion whatsoever. So the
conference asked prayers for the
youth of our land. “How are we to
fight? Jesus promised to be with us.”

The message of Rome, of Greece,
of Mohammed, and of Jesus were giv-
en. They are: Rome, Control Thy-
self; Greece, Know Thyself; Moham-
med, Submit Thyself; Christ, Give
Thyself.

Mrs. Martin announced that she was
leaving in our library a book on Afri-
ca, in which she would also have re-
corded the progress of Bukumba Bible
School, and the address of the place
from which African cloth may be ob-
tained.

TEA IN HONOR OF MRS. STUKES

Miss Gaylord and Miss Annis gave
a tea in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Stukes
at the Alumnae House Tuesday, April
14. The parlor and dining room were
attractively decorated with dogwood
and azaleas. Never has the Alumnae
House looked more attractive or held
a more successful function. Sand-
wiches, tea, coffee, nuts and mints
were served from the table, in the
center of which was a basket of beau-
tiful roses. Misses Janey Preston and
Dick Seandrett poured tea.

All the faculty attended in best
bib and tucker. Polly Stone and Dick
Scandrett were also present. All
agree in judging the tea most at-
tractive and delightful.

ATLANTA BRANCH OF A. A. U. W.
ENTERTAINS SENIORS AT TEA

We all know to what a young man’s
fancy turns in the spring; but a
maiden’s fancy, especially if that
maiden be a senior at Agnes Scott,
turns to thoughts of graduation and
the round of parties incident thereto,
The Agnes Scott alumnae started the
ball rolling when they entertained the
senior class with a Valentine tea. The
second party on the program was the
tea tendered the seniors by the faculty
members of the A. A. U. W., which is
the short of American Association of
University Women.

It has been the custom for the local
branch of Atlanta to meet at the col-
lege in the spring, and for the faculty
members to entertain the seniors later.
But this year it was decided to com-
bine the annual meeting at Agnes
Scott with the entertainment for the
seniors, so that the A. A. U. W. mem-
bers and the “graduates elect” could
become acquainted with one another.

About fifty of the Atlanta members
were present, besides the sixteen Ag-
nes Scott members and the guests of
honor. A very delightful program
was presented by the Glee Club and
Poetry. Club, followed by a speech of
welcome to the seniors by Mrs. Peace,
a Vassar graduate, who is president of
the Atlanta branch. In the course of
this welcoming address, Mrs. Peace
outlined the organization, purpose,
and activities of the Association, and
invited the seniors to become mem-
bers. At the culmination of the pro-
gram, delicious refreshments were
served, and a pleasant social hour
was enjoyed.

The program, each number of
which was graciously presented by
Miss Laney, follows. Miss Bland was
unable to be present on account of
sickness and her poems were ably
read by Miss Preston.

Readings of original poems by mem-
bers of the Poetry Club:

Susan, Clayton, Grace Augusta Og-
den, Ellen Walker, Elizabeth Cheat-
ham, Miss Bland, Miss Preston.

“Sylvia,” and “Mah Lindy Lou” by
the Glee Club, followed by an encore
by the special chorus.

Intercollegiate

News

At Sophie Newcomb a test was re-
cently given to determine the char-
acter of the Newcomb girls. All stu-
dents took the examination but entire
secrecy was kept concerning the an-
swers received. There were ten ques-
tions rating ten points each, and any
girl who could answer “No” to all of
them would get 100, meaning that
she was 100 per cent pure. The
questions are: Have you ever
smoked? Have you ever taken a
drink? Have you ever kissed a boy?
Have you ever voluntarily told a lie?
Have you
ever been on a necking party? Have
you ever dressed immodestly? Have
you ever danced immodestly? Have
you ever done anything you couldn’t
tell your mother? Have you ever
vamped a boy away

On Riverside Drive, New York, near
Columbia University, stands the Inter-
national House, where 1,200 students
from 69 countries live. Of those stu-
dents, 525 represent 54 countries. Liv-
ing under one roof these students
from all over the world participate in
the most real sort of education.

While some of the Japanese stu-
dents, embittered and disheartened by
the United States Exclusion Law
withdrew from the house, others are
turning the other cheek by staging
three Japanese plays. With the pro-
ceeds of these plays they hope to es-
tablish a scholarship for an American
student in a Japanese University. This
effort is called the “Brotherhood
Scholarship Fund Movement,” and it
is hoped that $1500 will be raised to
send an American student to Japan
for one year.

FRENCH ROOM RECEIVES
ARTISTIC TOUCHES

Our cozy little French room in the
library has lately been decorated.
The French aspect of this corner of
the library has been doubled by the
contribution of three characteristical-
ly French pictures. The smaller of
the three is “La Soirele D’Hyver,” a
delightful study in soft lue and red
coloring. The “Bal du May donnee a
Versailles pendant Le Carnival de
Annee 1763” is the most charmingly
French of all, for in it we see the gor-
geous splendor of the palace combined
with the elaborate costumes of the
time. The “Chateau de Chambor”
shows the chateau in all its grandeur
and beauty of line as it stands out
against a clear sky above.

These lovely pictures were secured
by Miss Alexander from Vicomte
Rene de Montozon-Brachet, a young
writer on whom fame has smiled since
his first book and who has been cited
by many of the noble critics of Eu-
rope. Through the instrumentality of
Miss Alexander and the Lecture As-
sociation, it is hoped that Agnes
Scott may someday have the pleasure
of hearing Rene de Montozon-Brachet.

BASEBALL SEASON OPENS

The baseball season opened last
Friday afternoon on the much cur-
tailed athletic field, when the fresh-
men beat the juniors with a score of
about 8 to 7. This Friday, the seniors
and sophomores will play, and the
winner will meet the freshman class
for the championship game on the
following Friday.

Thursday.

Well, Giddy, where’s your letter for
this week? You must do better in the
correspondence at your end of the
line—do you hear? Why I haven't
had a real letter from you since
Spring Holidays.

I’m going to do the same to you
now, as I have only fifteen minutes
to write and I won’t do it a bit
longer either.

You don’t like dogs, do you? Well
it’s certainly a good thing you were
not here last night because Sine Cald-
well bought a very little, cute dog
yesterday, and he got to yelling so
she put him in the waste basket and
set it out in the hall. Of course the
poor little thing was cold and hun-
gry and miserable and afraid so he
howled—as much as he could for his
age, and that was a lot — and
growled and growled and howled till
nearly everybody on the hall was
awake. He sounded just like bad
static over a radio. Sine’s going to
send him home today—it surely is
a good thing, too.

Guess what I saw out of the win-
dow just now? You know Cephise

hise came down and brought a broom
and started beating and beating it
—but it was up too high. Well she
jumped and jumped and hit and hit
till she finally got it down. Poor
thing she looked so to speak “whip-
ped down.” Last night when I went
to my room there was a beautiful
bouquet of dead Easter flowers and
Carrie Graham had some too. Blanch
Berry and Jo Bridgman found a week
old bottle of milk in their room. No-
body knew who to attribute such ac-
tions to but Sine and Theta and sure
enough we hit the nail on the head.

The Juniors had a Mum party the
other night at supper. Have you ever
heard of one? Well you can’t say a
word, laugh, grin, cough, sneeze or
hardly move at supper unless you
pay a penny for each one. The whole
dining room was silent except for
the rattling of pennies in the dishes
in the middle of the table. I guess
the faculty hadn’t gotten any checks
then for only about five of them came
to supper.

Helena Hermance and Edyth Car-
penter gave a real funny stunt and of
course more pennies rattled in the

Cartwright, don’t you? Well, she
was cleaning up I guess and hung

was dispelled by the cheerful glow of
an open fire. Miss Smith was assisted
in entertaining her guests by Mrs.
Smith and her cousin, Mrs. Green.
Punch and mints were served through-
out the afternoon.

The guests had a delightful time
chatting together and looking at a
number of curios which had been col-
lected from various places. Delicious
pound cake and Neopolitan cream ad-
ded zest to the enjoyment of all,
though the flow of conversation was
notably decreased during the period
of consumption.

The guests lingered about the rooms

of the alluring home and seemed
loathe to realize that the moments
were fleeing back to old Father Time.
At last, like one who for delay seeks
a vain excuse, each went away, car-
rying with her the memory of pink
roses, open fires, pleasant talk, and,
best of all, the remembrance of a
charming hostess.

ORGANIZATION OF LOCAL
ALUMNAE CLUBS

Do all of us realize just what our
Alumnae Association is doing for

Agnes Scott? Our alumnae, more

than any other source, are responsi-
ble for Agnes Scott’s National repu-
tation. This work has been carried
on mainly through the organization
of local clubs. We have given below
brief accounts of some of the most
active clubs.
The Atlanta Club
This year the Atlanta club has giv-
en $500 to the Alumnae Association.
Plans are being made for the Atlanta
Children’s Carnival, which is a big
event every spring. May Day dan-
cers will also take part in the car-
nival. The officers of the club are:
President, Clara Louise Scott; Vice-
President, Carol Stearns Wey (Mrs.
Harold); Secretary, Marie S. Hoppe
(Mrs. Louis); Treasurer, Lois McIn-
tyre Beall (Mrs. Frank).
The Decatur Club
The Decatur club has given over
$100 to the Alumnae Association this
year and has pledged $200 for next
year. “Quality Street,” will be given
by the club May 16. The officers are:
President, Daisy Francis Smith; Vice-
President, Georgianna White Miller
(Mrs. Walter); Secretary, Frances
Amis.
New York Club
We have 40 alumnae in and around
New York. The club was organized
March 26, and their first regular meet-
ing was held at the Peg Woofington
Hotel. Elizabeth Wilson, "22, was
elected president. The club has al-
ready pledged $100 toward the es-
tablishing of a chair of playwrighting
at Agnes Scott. This promises to be
one of the most active clubs.
Richmond Club
Our Richmond alumnae have been
unusually active in getting Richmond
students for Agnes Scott. They are
planning to have a big part in Col-
lege Day .of John Marshall High
School. The officers are: President,
Beth McClure; Secretary, Hattie
Blackford Williams (Mrs. P. J.);
Chairman Publicity, Kate Richardson
Wicker (Mrs. J. J.).
Charlotte Club
This club was organized only this
year, but its members have already
made plans for a big benefit party
May 18th, the proceeds to go to the
Alumnae House. The club will have
an important part in College Day for
high school students. Stunts have
been planned. The officers are:
President, Lulie Campbell Ivy (Mrs.
G. M.); Vice-President, Ethel Rea;
Midge McAven Cothran

(Mrs. G. S.); Treasurer, Lucy Naive.

Viceroy Don Luis de Velasco.
with the name of Royal and Pontifical
University of St. Paul, the first insti-
tution of its kind came into being on
this continent. In accordance with the
religious spirit of the times, the chief
branch of study in it was Theology,
but time was allowed to the study of
science, law, and the aboriginal lan-
guages. Notwithstanding these ear-
ly beginnings, the University of Mex-
ico was destined to follow the same
sort of precarious existence as that of
the people for whom it was estab-
lished. And consequently, it flour-
ished and progressed under wise and
strong government, or it declined and
even disappeared under less favorable
regimes. It was an added blunder of
the unfortunate Emperor Maximilian
to have closed it in 1865,

Not until the latter part of the Diaz
administration in 1910, was the Uni-
versity reopened again, and _ this
through the efforts of the scholarly
man and patriot, Don Justo Sierra,
then Minister of Education. He suc-
ceeded in reorganizing it on a very
firm basis and in this he was securing
also a foundation for the first national
movement for education which has
been taking place during the last five
years, It was through the University
that this movement was stated, the
purpose of which has been to extend
privileges of education to all classes
of people, even at the expense and
limitation of the University itself.

There has been in Mexico, since the
Spanish conquest and colonization, in-
stitutions of higher learning, such as
those for the study of medicine, law
and theology, chiefly supported and di-
rected by the Catholic clergy; but life
in them was very exclusive and rigid,
being devoted entirely to religion and
scholasticism. This type of education
that lasted for a period of more than
three and a half centuries, was bound
to project its mutilating shadow up to
the present day. So it is how one finds
that in the University schools or fac-
ulties, there is hardly any other kind
of activity than the intellectual one—
with the exception of such interesting
classes and studies as a person might
find, life is deadly within their walls.
The very buildings in which some of
these faculties are located tend to con-
tribute to the atmosphere of rigidity
and formality. These venerable and
artistically beautiful structures once
served to shelter religious orders and
churches, in fact, they were built for
those purposes. The School of Medi-
cine is at present located in what at
one time was the headquarters of the
Holy Inquisition.

Perhaps the previous description will
have caused the reader to believe that
the prevailing atmosphere throughout
the University faculties is one of med-
jaevalism. Nothing could be more un-
just to the efforts of some distin-
guished educators and to the striving
student life outside. In spite of bur-
densome tradition and tumultuous
years, there has been going on a very

And} as to whether or not they will follow

one of the learned professions. If so,
the University will open to them the
Preparaotry school, whose program
covers a period of five years of hard
and, for the most part, abstract study,
so that by the end of this course the
student will have acquired a certain
degree of erudition, and will be able
to express himself with more or less
intelligence on any literary or scien-
tific matter. At this time he is ready
to go to the specialized ,school of his
choice, whether it be medicin, law, or
engineering, which are the professions
most generally followed, and in any
one of them he will have to spend
from five to seven years more.

DECATUR, GA.

Those of us who have been at Ag-
nes Scott long enough to remember
Dr. Gaines will always hold him in
in love and reverence;

our hearts
therefore we especially enjoyed the
beautiful memorial service to him,
which was held at the Y. W. C. A.
meeting Sunday, April 12,

It was a beautiful service, which
we hope in some measure passed on
to those who had not the privilege
of knowing him, something of the
great things he has done for Agnes
Scott.

Anne McKay led the service and
Mary Anne McKinney and Dorothy
Keith read passages of his favorite
seripture, then Mr. Candler paid a
tribute to him and his work, and to
Dr. Armstead, whose death was pre-
cipitated by that of Dr. Gaines.

Dr. Armstead was one of the most
beloved members of the faculty, and
his death following so soon on that
of Dr. Gaines caused great grief on
the campus, and among friends of
Agnes Scott.

Hyatt read a passage of Dr. Arm-
stead’s favorite scripture.
istead’s favorite scripture.

Besides the favorite scripture pas-
sages read there were a number of
the favorite songs of both men sung.

It is hoped that services like this
will serve to perpetuate the mem-
ories of two people who have meant
so much to Agnes Scott.

HOASC ANNOUNCES THE ELEC-
TION OF TWO NEW MEMBERS
FROM CLASS OF '25

Thomson and Wight Elected to
Membership

At a recent meeting of Hoase, it
was voted that Eugenia Thompson:
and Pocahontas Wight be elected to:
membership.

This election is a recognition of the.
very real devotion to Agnes Scott
that these two girls have manifested.
Eugenia Thompson has served her
college in Blackfriars, Pi Alpha Phi,
class activities, and especially in the-
Y. W. C. A., where she has worked
in the Social Service Department,
in the Industrial Commission and as
Undergraduate Representative, Poca-
hontas Wight has been a member of
the intercollegiate debating team for
three years, has contributed her musi-
cal talent untiringly in Y. W. C. A.
and in concerts, has been a member
of Blaickfriars and of Pi Alpha Phi.
More than any tangible thing these
girls have done is the spirit wherein
they have done it.

It was with a deep sense of the
fitness of things, thus that Hoase,
the Senior honorary society, wel-
comed its two new members, and.
that Agnes Scott heard of their elec-
tion. Formal initiations were held on:
Tuesday night, April 21.

DR. E. Y. McCOLLUM SPEAKS AT
CHAPEL

(Continued from Page 1, Column 3)
the most iniportant problem of the
general concern, good health. Plenty
of green vegetables—raw particular-
ly—milk and dairy products, will
serve as protective foods toward the
development of teeth.

It happens, though, that youth does
not want advice about what to do.
The ages from fourteen to twenty-
eight are such satisfactory periods of
life—periods in which anything can
be done with seeming impunity—
that youth does not care for advice
about the penalty that must be paid
later. Irregular eating, late hours,
add heavy interest to the bill.

After thirty, people are restrained.
from doing what they wish, by prompt
evil effects; after forty, many people
are on the verge of invalidism. Old
age comes on quickly if aided by a
bad diet.

Dr. McCollum ended his talk with
the worth while admonition, “Do not
be careless of your health until you.
begin to lose, but seek to preserve the
characteristics of youth while you
have them.”

May Day Celebration
Great Success

Old English Festival Held
By Robin Hoode and
Mayde Marion

All the loyal subjects of the king-
dom of May time and Joy assembled
last Saturday at the command of
Robin Hoode and Mayde Marian to cel-
ebrate May Day with song and dance
and revelings. The young in heart
and the young in spirit gathered in
the amphitheater back of the campus
to watch the spirits of the forest and
the village maidens and yeomen make
merry on the green.

In preparation for the celebration
of May Day, the village maidens went
out before sunrise to wash their faces
in the dew on the pink hawthorne, to
make their complexions beautiful.
There, they were surprised by the
Goddess of the Sun and her Spirits,
who come to herald the dawn. Dainty
wood nymphs, clad in palest green,
and vari-colored butterflies joined
them in proclaiming the beauties of
magical Sherwood Forest, robed in its
spring dress of emerald leaves and
velvety grass.

Robin Hoode and Mayde Marian,
the King and Queene of the Maye, en-
tered, announced by two royal heralds.
The Queen was robed in white satin,
embroidered in pearls; and her flaxen
hair, bound with ropes of pearls, hung
in long braids over her shoulders. She
was attended by ten maids, dressed in
gowns of pastel colors, which were
made after the fashion of the thir-
teenth century. Robyn Hoode was es-
corted by his “Yeomen” dressed in the
Lincoln green of the Merry Men.

For the entertainment of the King
and Queene, the country maidens
danced, and Jack and the Green, and
three country boys dressed as Hobby
Horses, greatly amused the villagers
by their antics. Then, following the
ancient custom, the “Yeomen” en-
gaged in an archery contest, using the
famous English long bow. With every
moment the fun grew. The Mylk
Mayde danced merrily around the cow,
and the squires showed their skill and
bravery in the sword dance.

During all the fun, Lytle John,
Robyn Hoode’s trusty friend, had been
eyeing worshipfully Kate the village
maiden. When they all surrounded
the Maye Pole, the Green top bough

Program For May Full
and Interesting

May ushers in the last school month
and brings to the College community
a series of varied and delightful ac-
tivities. The program for the present
month contains enough entertain-
ments to counterbalance the two long
weeks of cramming which all of the
students and at least a part of the
faculty would like to have omitted
from the calendar of the last spring
month. With such treats in store as
May Day, Senior Opera, recitals,
plays, banquets, and teas, it will be
possible for even the weakest to sur-
vive for exams will afterwards seem
like just a bad dream that lasted too
long, while pleasant recollections will
remain of bright colored sprites danc-
ing in the green of the woodland on
May Day, of giggles, squeals, and
Hershey bars at the presentation of
“Tan Trousers,” of enjoyable plays
and recitals, of luncheons, teas, and
banquets, of delightful moments
snatched from a busy day and spent in
chatting with friends, but most of all,
the glowing memory of Seniors, black
gowned, and dignified, Sophomore
sisters sweet in their soft white
dresses, and the majestic strains of
“Ancient of Days.”

New System of
Compiling Hand-Book

Previously it has been the duty of
one person to revise the Student Gov-
ernment Hand-Book; but this year
the executive committee has formed
a new plan which will give every mem-
ber of the student body an opportunity
to approve the rules or to suggest any
changes.

Each class is to select a committee
of five who will consider the old rules,
suggest new ones, and make any
changes which they think are needed.
After the decision of the committee
is approved by the class, two girls
from each committee are chosen,
forming a new committee of eight.
This committee will arrange one
Hand-Book from the Hand-Books of
the four classes, which after being
approved by the executive committee
will be the Hand-Book for next year.

This plan was heartily accepted by
the students. It is hoped that it will
be suecessful not only in making the
Hand-Book more representative of the
whole student body, but also in giving
the students an opportunity to know
all of the rules.

Senior Class Presents

Opera

“Tan Trousers” Latest Musical
Sensation

“Ah—artistic, superb—” ejacula-
tions rose from the enthralled audi-
ence viewing the Premiere of the
greatest modern opera supported by
a most remarkable cast. This latest
sensation in the musical world, “Tan
Trousers,” met with astounding suc-
cess. The originality of the plot, and
ability with which the artists acted
and sang, swaying the entire audience
from tears to laughters, and again
to racking sobs, was a combination
that proved irresistible.

The scene of the greatest tragedy
that has ever been viewed by many
protected maidens of Agnes Scott, was
laid in Castoria, a province in Spain,
and was caused by the ill-omened love
of Senorita Mockeater (Senorita El-
len Walker) for a handsome and brave
American, Tan Trousers (Senor Fran-
cis Bitzer). The Dupe (Senor Mar-
tha Linn Manley), and the Dupess
(Senorita Issabel Furgeson) of Cas-
toria, illustrious parents of Mockeater,
had decided upon the marriage of
their beautiful daughter to a Spanish
Toreador, Don Kidme (Senor Georgia
May Little). The first scene of the
Heat lays before us this problem.

The second scene of the same Heat
—outwardly so peaceful, with a Span-
ish Balcony overlooking a picturesque
street!—brings Don Kidme to his love
to whom he sings most passionately.
But Mockeater, already lost in her
love for Tan Trousers, rebukes him,
and and will not accept the rose which
he desires to throw to her. At this
stage, a little flower vender (Senorita
Margaret Hyatt) enters. Coyly she ap-
proaches the balcony, and seeing Don
Kidme’s distress, begs him to give the
rejected flower to her. He does, and
Mockeater from above, registers some-
thing akin to anger, or perhaps only
jealousy. Just then six dancers ap-
proach, and marvelously execute an in-
tricate ballet. Tired and thirsty after
their efforts, they ask for water, which
sweet Mockeater brings to them, but
overcome by the green monster, she
puts poison in the cup of the little
flower vender, and thus the innocent
victim of fate dies.

Heat two brings us to a cabaret.
Here we have a feeling of foreboding.
Don Kidme meets Tan Trousers.
Mockeater comes in the guise of the
flower vender to discover the true
state of her lover’s hearts, but her
disguise is penetrated by Tan Trous-
ers. The lovers then plan a duel over
beautiful Mockeater but decide. that
the final decision shall be left to their
respective fates before a bull in the

Recital Given By

The second semester has been
marked by many delightful recitals
but the peak of enjoyment was cer-

At that time the Department of Music
sponsored the recital given by Misses
Martha Johnston and Ruth Drane, who
were accompanied by Mr. Johnston.
Both of these girls have splendid, well
trained soprano voices. They are
among the most talented students of
the department, and their singing was

a delight to the audience. The pro-

Student Government
Conference In Florida

Virginia Browning, Virginia Peeler,
and Mary Anne McKinney made re-
ports in chapel, April 30, of the
student government conference that
they attended at the Florida State
College for Women in Tallahassee,
April 23-25.

Virginia Browning gave the social
aspect of the conference and told of
the Southern hospitality extended
them. She also expressed apprecia-
tion of the fact that Virginia Peeler,
president of the Y. W. C. A. next
year, was interested enough in student
government affairs to go to the con-
ference also.

Virginia Peeler expressed the de-
sire that the student government and
Y. W. C. A. should co-operate and
work together for more ideal every-
day life on the campus.

Then Mary Anne took up the more
serious side of the conference and
told of the problems discussed there.
In order to bridge over the jump from
secondary education to the college, the
extension of the honor system in the
high school was considered. It was
voted to support a paid secretary for
this work as it was felt that even
those who did not go to college would
be benefited as citizens, Then in
different meetings the executive, leg-
islative and judicial branches of stu-
dent government were discussed with
the aid of prominent educators.

Dr. Brenau, of the Florida state
laws ef student government should be
few in number, general rather than
specific, and co-ordinate with natural
laws. He-said that a law school be
presented to students only when their
minds had been prepared for it by
training, publicity in papers, and dis-
cussion groups.

Mrs. Lloyd Jones, Dean of Women
at Northwestern University, in con-
sidernig the judicial phase of student
government, rather outlined a Utopia.
She declared that the executive com-
mittee did not set a high enough
standard and that the standard was
often subsittuted by rules and regu-
lations. The students should be given
a realization of what they owe. their
college, and their character should be
developed by student government. She
added that personality and good will
on the part of the council often help
toward this ideal.

On Saturday morning a business
meeting was held at which it was
decided to have the conference meet
at Wesleyan next year with Eliza-
beth Roundtree of Sweet Brier as
president.

Blackfriars Select

Commencement Plays

Blackfriars has selected the plays

which they will present during Com-|

mencement week. The first is “Never-
theless”, by Stuart Walker, a comedy
dealing with the correct use of Eng-
lish, Perhaps we shall meet a sec-
ond “Mrs Malaprop”! The second is
“Will o’ the Wisp”, by Doris Haliman,
a play of atmosphere and symbolism.
Last comes “Followers”, by Harold
Bridgehouse. It is a delicate love story
of the old Cranford of 1835. We know
that Blackfriars will be as success-
ful as usual and we are looking for-

ward eagerly to seeing these plays.

“Maybe you don’t think I was
thrilled”, one Freshman was heard to
remark, “when Hoase came marching
down the isle, to the soul stirring
notes of ‘Ancient of Days’!” Somehow,
this Freshman chose just the fitting
words to express our feelings. The
noble strains of “Ancient of Days”
are always soul-stirring but possibly
never more so than when connected
with Hoasc processional. No other
piece of music, except our Alma
Mater, will in after years be so close-
ly connected with Agnes Scott—the
love, loyalty, and ambitions we have
for her.

At the close of Dr. MeCain’s pray-
er, Carrie Scandrett, who was our
student government presided last
year, told something of the origin,
foundation and history of the club,
and the requirements for election to
membership. These requirements take
into consideration first and foremost,
loyalty and service to our college,
and subsequently, academic standing
and general attitude. Then amid
the pleasant thrill of anticipation,
“Dick” concluded by saying: “It gives
Hoase great pleasure to announce as
its new members: Virginia Browning,
Louisa Duls, Catherine Graeber, El-
len Fain, Sara Slaughter, Virginia
Peeler and Margaret Tufts.

Blue Ridge Week
Inspires Students

Agnes Scott has Blue Ridge girls
to thank for a week of most inter-
esting talks at Chapel and entertain-
ments after Vespers. Blue Ridge, as
we all know, is the conference ground
for religious organizations. We are
particularly interested in it, for our
Y. W. sends three representatives to
the Y. W. C. A. conference each year,
and many Agnes Scott girls go for the
fun of this camp life and the benefit
to be derived from the religious con-
ferences. The object of the Blue
Ridge Week was to interest girls in
Blue Ridge, and give every one a bet-
ter idea of just exactly what life at
Blue Ridge is like, and what it means.

A Sing on Main steps Monday nigh
opened the week. It was a lovely
idea, and though Main rose at our
backs, and the automobile lights broke
the darkness in the foreground, those
who know Blue Ridge almost felt
themselves again in the mountains,
for the night was silent, and the moon
lighted the campus as the voices rose.

Miss Bland held the chapel ser-
vices Wednesday. She first read cer-
tain passages from the Bible that
brought together God and nature.
Then she described a typical mountain
‘church with its bareness, and ignorant,
yet sincere worshipers.

Miss Preston led the service Thurs-
day. She spoke on the Life of Christ,
and the influence of certain friend-
ships on His Life.

A stunt drew many to the Chapel
Wednesday night, and it was well
worth the coming. The stunt illus-
trated a bit of Blue Ridge life—a
scene at the store— but the conversa-
tion told much more. It brought out
the many out-door activities, the good
food, the interesting conferences, and
more than all, how each one was
Yearning to ‘love and “Bollow the
Gleam.” The stunt was very im-
pressive. “To go to Blue Ridge” be-
came the desire of almost (I might
say all) who saw it. é

Olivia Swann and Emily Spivy
spoke at Chapel on Friday. Olivia on
“Social Life in Cottages,” and Emily
jokingly on “Blue Ridge Statistics.”

Besides the usual number of Agnes
Scott girls who will attend the con-
ference this year, our Y. W. will send
its President, Virginia Peeler; Repre-

THE BLUE RIDGE CONFERENCE

We can find no more fitting message for this farewell issue of
the Agonistic than to wish that you may have a delightful vaca-
tion, and to advise that you have a profitable one. And may we
suggest that the best way to begin a delightful and profitable vaca-
tion is to attend the Y. W. C.A. Conference at Blue Ridge, from
June 5-18.

Blue Ridge week has pictured Blue Ridge for us so completely
that we need dwell only briefly here on the joys and advantages of
attending the conference. The classes and discussion groups fur-
nish eye opening knowledge and arouse an unbelievable amount of
interest. They deal with problems of the local Y. W. C. A. and of
the national Y. W. C. A., and with those of world-wide import. To
discuss with a large number of girls and leaders such problems as
the “race question” is not only stimulating for the present, but also
useful for future citizenship.

But the knowledge of and interest in questions of universal
significance is not the most important thing one carries away
from Blue Ridge. It is the spirit of the place—that something
which defies analysis—born of a common interest in service to hu-
manity, of fellowship with kindred suols of blue-green mountains,
vesper hymns, and gorgeous sunset hues. To spend ten days in
Blue Ridge is to stand for a moment on the Mount of Transfigura-
tion and catch a glimpse of the Master’s face.

Would you be “standards of worth o’er all the earth?” Then
“follo wthe gleam,” but first, see the gleam, at Blue Ridge.

"| CONGRATULATIONS, SOPHOMORES

We believe that the Sophomore Class deserves a vote of com-
mendation from the college community for the efficiency with
which its members have carried out the recently devised plan for
furnishing napkins in the dining-rooms. It will be remembered
that the plan called for each student’s turning in to the matron
of her dining-room six napkins. After that, the college would fur-
nish students with napkins, fresh six times a week; and the said
napkins would be laundered by the college and could not be re-
moved from the dining-room by students. The Sophomore Class
undertook the decidedly difficult task of collecting napkins from

the students, ordering new ones for those who did not have six.
The class has worked so effectively that the new system has al-
ready been established in Rebekah Scott dining-room and prob-
ably will be, soon, in White House.

GYMNASIUM CLASSES STOP
FOR THIS YEAR

many freckles and blisters had already
appeared on our complexions and the
sun seemed to be shining with un-
usual brilliance out on the gymnasium

Physical Examination Required

It seems that if Pi Alpha Phi try-
outs had been held a few weeks later
the aspirants arguing the negative
side of the question, “Resolved, That
Gym Classes Should Stop After
Spring Holidays,” would have had lit-
tle argument on which to base their
claims, because the very next week
Dr. Sweet announced that all regular
gymnasium classes would stop after
Friday, April 24,

This announcement was greeted
with smiles and applause because too

Those, however, who desire can
continue to “get them up a team” and
challenge their most hated rival when-
eyer they are so disposed, because
four hours of unsupervised exercise
is required of each girl except seniors
for the four remaining weeks.

Beginning Monday, April 27, and
continuing through May 15, physical
examinations will be given. These ex-
aminations are required of all students
before any credit for physical educa-
tion will be given.

“Meteors” Published
By Former Professor

At Agnes Scott

“Meteors,” the first general work
on meteoric astronomy since 1871,
was written by Dr. Charles P. Oliver,
who was professor of physics at Ag-
nes Scott from 1911 to 1914.

Charles P. Oliver, M.A., Ph.D., is
one of the foremost authorities in the
world on the subject of meteors. Hé
is the author of numerous articles in
American and European astronomical
journals, in which his first work ap-
peared in 1901,

Dr. Oliver is a Fellow of the Royal
Astronomie Society, and also of the
American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science. He is a mem-
ber of the Societi Astronomique de
the Societi Astronomique

the American Astronomic
Society, and the Committee on Me-
teors of the International Astronomic
Union. He is also a member of the
Honorary Society of Phi Beta Kappa,
a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity
and founder of the American Meteor
Society.

France,
d’Auvers,

Dr. Oliver was formerly assistant
at the Lick Observatory and volunteer
member of the United States Naval
Observatory Eclipse Expedition to
Spain in 1905. During the recent war,
Dr. Oliver did research work on the
anti-aircraft artillery at Aberdeen,
Md. Since 1914 he has been associate
professor of astronomy at the Uni-
versity of Virginia and astronomer at
Leander McDermock Observatory.

His book, “Meteors,” was written
for amateur professional workers and
in fact, for all lovers of nature. The
purpose of the book is to bring within
the reach of the educated reader, as
well as the astronomer, the latest de-
velopment of the theories of meteoric
astronomy. In this work, he gives
explicit directions for making observa-
tions. “Meteors” is said to be the
most thorough treatment of radiants
ever published. It is the latest in-
formant on the application of pho-
tography, published by the Williams
and Wilkins Company, publishers of
scientific books and periodicals, Balti-
more, Md. There has been no general
book written on meteoric astronomy
since 1871 when Schiaparelli’s classi-
cal work, “Sternschnuppen,” appeared.
Since this book appeared in England,
it is very hard to secure on account
of its popularity.

In “Meteors,” Dr. Oliver first gives
the Historical Introduction. Some of
the topics which he then discusses are
How Meteors Are Observed, Comets,
the Leonids, the Perseids, the Hy-
drids, the Bielids or Andomedes, the
Halley’s Comet Meteors, and the Pans-
Winnecke’s Comet, Radiants, Do Ra-
diants, Exit, Suggested Explanation
of Stationary Radiants, Opponent
Paths of Meteors within the atmos-
phere, Computation of Real Heights
of Meteors, Opponent Distribution of
Meteors in Time and Space, Forma-
tion of Meteor Streams, Perturbation
of Meteor Orbits and Influence of Me-
teors upon the Earth. He also dis-
cusses the Formation of Bielids and
Perseid Streams, Meteorites, Origin
of Meteors, Fireballs and Meteorites,
and then gives his conclusions.

AGNES SCOTT AND EMORY
MATHEMATICS CLUBS HOLD
JOINT MEETING HERE

Monday night the Mathematics
Clubs of Agnes Scott and Emory held
their regular monthly gatherings in
a joint meeting, in the Physics Lec-
ture room, Both clubs contributed
their share to the evening’s program.
Consequently, the meeting was one
of the most successful held this year.

In behalf of Emory, Ernest Hart-
sock gave a splendid talk on “Phil-
osophy and Mathematics”, and J. C.
Haroord spoke entertainingly on
“Perspective Triangles”. Catherine
Randolph represented the Agnesi Club
with a paper on “The Atomic Theory”,
after which Hazel Huff demonstrated
the scientific method of plotting equa-
tions of a high degree.

The intellectual part of the program
was very interesting; but no less so
was the social hour which brought
the last meeting of the year to a
close.

Memorial Day
Celebrated

It is indeed fitting that we Ameri-
cans, who are termed a people con-
tinually busy about earthly matters,
should, on Memoria] Day, turn aside
from the ordinary routine of life to
think of the soldires of the sixties,
who fought and died that the very
principles upon which our United
States is founded might live, Both
the men in gray and those in blue
went into a grim and terrible war, be-
leiving in the cause for which they
were ready to lay down their lives.
War, through the terrible experiences
that it must of necessity involve, ul-
timately brought the people of the
North and South closer together.

Sometimes people speak in a sad,
low voice of the lost cause of the
Confederacy. Do they not realize that
the ideals for which the men in gray
were willing to sacrifice all—to leave
home and loved ones, to suffer every
form of privation, to live on parched
corn for days—are essential to the
very soul of the nation and can not
perish until every true citizen of
America lies beneath the sod? Not
only did our Confederate soldiers bear
the trials of war with a never-failing
courage; but, when peace was de-
clared, they set to work with a loyal,
God-fearing earnestness to meet the
problems of the dark days of recon-
struction and to weld the states to-
gether with an indissoluble bond by
rebuilding the Southland. No, the
cause for which the Southern soldiers
fought is not a lost cause, but a glori-
ously triumphant one!

The heroes of the gray deserve our
undying love and honor. They lived
and died for the principles and ideals
which make life worth the living. It
is, then, meet that we should set aside
one special day of the year to lay our
tribute at their feet.

The memorial services held in At-
lanta were simple and impressive. In
the early part of the quiet Sabbath
afternoon the remnant of a once great
army which fought under the Stars
and Bars in the days of the sixties
marched out to Oakland cemetery to
the beloved strains of “Dixie” to ren-
der homage to their dead comrades
who gave their all that the principles
which they cherished might not perish
from the earth. With what proud and
splendid dignity those heroes in gray
responded to the old, familiar air!
The whole 122nd Regiment, National
Guard, which is known as “Atlanta’s
Own,” was led by its fifty-piece band
and took part in the parade.

Flags and garlands had been placed
on the Confederate mounds, and a
large crowd had gathered at the ceme-
tery to be present at the ceremonies.
Dr. Ben R. Lacy, pastor of Central
Presbyterian Churdh, delivered ‘the
principal address, while Dr. J. B.
Mitchell, pastor of St. Mark’s Metho-
dist church, served as chaplain, and
Captain Basil Stockbridge was mar-
shal of the day. The spirit of rev-
erent dignity pervaded the services.

Let us remember always to keep
Memorial Day sacred to the memory
of our heroes of the War Between the
States! They lived lives that were
faithful to their ideals of truth and
right. We can not, therefore, fail to
be true to the best that is in man-
kind, if we hold fast to our ideals and
thus follow in their footsteps.

Intercollegiate
News

An investigation at the University
of Chicago which lasted a year dis-
close the information that a student
should spend at least 42 hours a week
studying, and not over two hours at

parties. It is also recommended that
two hours each week be given to se-
rious reading on some line not touch-
ing the course, two hours to religious
and seven hours to physical activities.

Polo has been officially recognized
by the Virginia Military Institute
athletie council as a minor sport, and
monograms will be awarded to this
year’s team. Although recognized as
an athletic activity for two years, the
present season is the first that has
really engaged attention, The cadet
four has arranged a schedule calling
for games with seven leading colleges
and club teams including tournaments
in Richmond and New York,

Special favors for juniors and se-
niors have been instituted, or are be-
ing considered at the following places:

Amherst: Twenty Amherst juniors
and seniors who have maintained an
average of 85 per cent. or better in
their class work, have been granted
the privilege of attending classes at
their discretion.

University of Kansas; Agitation is
being carried on to exempt seniors
of A and B standing from their final
second semester examinations.

University of North Carolina: Fifty
juniors and seniors were granted op-
tional class attendance during the
winter quarter as a reward for mak-
ing a B average during the fall quar-
ter.

Reformers, educators, journalists
and novelists have been busy for a
long time trying to decide how a col-
lege student clothes the interior of his
head. The following are the first find-
ings in an inquiry as to the external
wearing apparel:

University of Florida: As a sym-
bol of maturity, learning and distine-
tion, seniors at the U, of Fla. wear
brown derbies.

University of Oregon: Sophomore
men have adopted blue denim trouseds
as their official wearing apparel. The
trousers are of a heavy material and
are cut in the most recent mode.

Johns Hopkins University: About
half the men go in for the latest, loud-
est in ties, socks, ete.

University of Washington: A rage
for masculine clothing has possessed
the girls here. It originated with the
advent of the shingle bob which ex-
posed many necks to the Washington
weather and necessitated the wearing
of men’s shirts, checkered flannel ones
preferred. Then followed a crime
wave in which the girls “borrowed”
from their boy friends everything
from “bow ties to knit ties, spotted
neckwear to those “pash” turkey red
affairs.”

THE

GIDDIE

GOSSIP

Wednesday Night.
Well! Giddie, do you realize that
this is the very last time I’m going
to write to you this year? And that
when I write you again, I’ll be a Soph-

omore!! Wion’t that seem funny?
And really so much as happened
in the last few days that I hardly
know where to begin or what to tell.

First, tell me this: what color is
“dark black?” Have you ever heard
of it? Well, I hadn’t either till just
now, but I heard somebody say there
was such a color.

And did you hear that about Mar-
garet Hyatt? But sh— it’s too bad
to tell—(rather that’s what she said.)

Giddie, there’s more mysterious
things going ‘round here than you
ever thought about—for instance—
Dot Keith got a call from a boy at
Georgia the other day and he says
he’s coming over here to see her some
day, but she doesn’t even know him!
But wouldn’t you be excited if some-
thing like that would happen to you?
I would, but then I’m such an ordinary
everyday girl that nothing could hap-
pen to me.

But if extraordinary things mean
anything Izzy Ferguson certainly is
an uncommon girl, because two non-
descript—or is it anonymous?—boys,
one a senior at Georgia, and one at
Tech, sent her corsages or something
like that just because they liked her
looks. I think. And then an entirely
different one heard her debate and he
fell. So she got asked out for the
week-end just to meet him—but she
didn’t go.

And on top of all this, Elizabeth
Roark hed a call from some boy who

said she’d been recommended to him]

as a pretty girl and he wanted to
meet her.

Giddie, are my looks so awfully dif-
ferent from those girls that nobody
ever falls for me? I think there must
be something of an “elderly lady
type” engrained in my constitution or
makeup that boys just don’t naturally
fall for.

Well anyway, I don’t care!

Guess what? The other day Miss
Sinclair was at “the Rivals” and she
saw Miss Amis sitting several seats
ahead of her so she threw a little wad
of paper at her to make her look
around—Well the policeman came up
and tapped Miss Sinclair on the shoul-
der and told her she must not do any-
thing like that as it was strictly
against rules! I bet that policeman
didn’t know he was talking to an Ag-
nes Scott faculty tho’—

I think I’m going to camp next
week end, Giddie, and I’m all excited
over it. And speaking of camp—the
other day Lou Buchanan went in a
store to get some ‘“weenies” for a
camp supper and when the man asked
her how many she wanted, she said
“Oh, I don’t know! How do you sell
them?—by the yard?” I think I
would have known better than that
and I’m just a Freshman.

Well—guess I better stop now and
do a little work—as if that’s not
what I’ve been doing every day this
week and all the others too.

Oh yes! I forgot to tell you Anne
McKay got proposed to the other day
and may go to Norway to live!

But I must go—

Always yours—even if I do some-
day get a proposal,

If it seems to our readers that we
have an undue number of weddings
in this week’s issue, just remember
that this is April, that it will soon
be May, and that it’s in the air,
girls!

Mr. and Mrs. R, E. Bordeau an-
nounce the marriage of their daugh-
ter, Hazel, to Mr. William Owen Lyon
on Thursday evening, April 23, 1925,
at seven o’clock, at the First Presby-
terian Church, Little Rock, Arkansas,
Hazel graduated from Agnes Scott
in 1923.

The following invitations have been
recently sent out:

“Mr, and Mrs. Charles Carter re-
quest the honor of your presence at
the marriage of their dawghter, An-
nette, to Mr. Ernest Cadman Cald-
well on Thursday, May 7, at 5 o’clock
in the afternoon at the First Meth-
odist Church, Decatur, Georgia.”
Annette was at school here last year
and is with us now as an assistant
librarian.

Miss Essie Roberts, ’14, recently
became the bride of Mr. Walter Du-
pree. After graduating from Agnes
Scott in 1914. She went to Columbia
University where she received an M.
A. degree in 1916. For some time
she was an assistant in the Mathe-
matics Department of Agnes Scott,
but at the time of her marriage she
was at the head of Cator Wolfords
Placement office.

Julia Frances Abbot, ’18, was re-
cently married to Mr. Alvin Wlikins
Neely. Mr. Neely is a cousin of Mrs.
Sturges.

The marriage of Katherine Du Bose
to Mr. Edwin Kent Davis will be
solemnized Wednesday, April 29 at
noon in Atlanta.

Mary W. Caldwell will be a mem-
ber of the graduating class of St.

Regulations To Be
Observed Before
Leaving
Before leaving college for the va-
cation remember (1) to report to Miss
Hopkins the name of your next year’s
room-mate; (2) to pack in covered
boxes bearing your name and room
number all articles to be left at col-
lege during the summer months; un-
less these articles be the secretary’s
or treasurer’s record books belonging
to some organization, which books
are to be turned in at one of the ad-
ministration offices; (3) to register
with Miss Hopkins if you leave col-
lege bfeore commencement day. In
order that you might better remem-
ber the above regulations, we have

put them in rhyme as follows:

Now that school is drawing to a close,

Miss Hopkins, not without her usual
compose,

Has said in tones both low and sweet:

“Girls, concerning important things
we must meet.

Some have been negligent in registra-
tion,

Which, as you know, breaks all regu-
lation;

The thing to do, girls, is sign up right
now.

The girl you’re to room with, where
and how.

{

No trouble to do it;

There’s nothing much to it,

But it saves so much confusion

As well as disillusion,

In the program of the year to come.”

There’s another thing to mention,

And I invite your attention,

To the records which your secretaries
and tresaurers hold.

Such valuables must not be trusted to
refrain

From escaping from a careless place,
as in halls of main.

You're requested to take them to Mr.
Stukes,

Who will with pleasure preserve them
de luxe;
To Miss Hopkins or to Dr. McCain,
Take the said valuable records if
they’re to remain. ‘
Perhaps Mr. Tart, who holds the col-
lege treasure,

Would lock yours up with the greatest
of pleasure.

Mr. Cunningham, brilliant with busi-
ness ability,

Would keep them for you with utmost
agility,

Girls, girls, there’s one thing more,

The snappiest baseball game of the
Season was played Monday afternoon,
April 27, by the Sophomores and
Seniors. On account of lack of time
the game was called in the fifth in-
ing.

The score at the end of the third
inning was 0-0, ‘Then the Senior
players began to realize that if they
lost this game, they would be out of
the race and the championship would
rest between thé Sophomores and
Freshmen. Thus, spurred on by ‘the
desire to leave college “the victors on
the diamond” the Seniors rose to the
occasion and scored a run.

At the beginning of the fifth in-
ning the score was: Seniors 1, Sophs
0. Even yet there was time for the
hard-fighting Sophomores to show
their colors and come through on
top. But no, the Seniors’ incentive
surpassed that of the class which
still has two more chances at the
championship; and the game ended

‘| with a score of 4-0 in favor of the

outgoing Seniors,
The players were:

Seniors Sophomores

Not only did the Seniors and Sopho-
mores meet in a baseball combat from

‘| five to six, but from nine to ten

that same night the two classes clash-
ed again. This time it was to play
off the championship tie in basketball.

The game was a good one and the
Sophomores had revenge for their loss
a few hours before, by a score of 21
to 10.

CLASSICAL CLUB GIVES ROMAN
WEDDING
(Continued from Page 1 Column 1)

The curtain rose on the main room
of Cicero’s house which was decorated
with flowers, wool and boughs as be- |
fitted the festive occasion. An altar
bearing a bowl of unlighted incense
was at the center back. The guests
and the two families were waiting ex- |

pectantly.

The Pontifex Maximus the
Flameu Dialis, in robes befitting their
lofty stations, entered on opposite |
sides, preceeded by the lictora. After
the ancient Roman greeting they pro-
ceeded to the altar, where the Flameu
lit the incense. Camilla, the slave
girl, brought the sacrifices of bird,
meal, and food, to the altar where
they were consecrated by the Ponti-
fex Maximus and the Flameu Dialis.

The bride, in white with yellow veil,
preceeded by the pronuba, and the
groom, in white, preceeded by the
boy attendants, then entered and
stood at the right of the altar. Aft-
er Cicero had given wine to the priests
with which they sprinkled their sacri-
fices, all knelt while the Flamen pro-
nounced the solemn words:

“Auspicia secunda sunt, Magna
gratia dis immortalibus habena est.
Auspicia secunda sunt.”

The pronuba conducted the bride
and groom to the altar. She joined
their hands and they walked twice
around the altar. They then partook
of the sacred bread, and were conduct-
ed by the pronuba to a bench covered
with the mystic sheepskin, facing the
the altar. The pronuba covered their
heads with white veil while the Ponti-
fex Maximus, then hte Flamen Dialis
offered the sacrifices and invoked the
favor of the gods upon the newly
married pair.

This was the end of the ceremony.
The pronuba uncovered the heads of
the bride and groom and they re-
ceived the affectionate congratulations
of family and friends.

The second scene was the Deductia,
or the taking of the bride from her
home to the home of the groom. The
bride, seated in her mother’s lap was
taken as if by force from her mother’s
arms by the groom, Tullia (the bride)
then cut the wedding cake and passed
it to the guests.

The curtain fell to rise on the door
of the groom’s house with an altar
showing from within. From the back
of the chapel the procession, headed
by the flute players, proceeded to the
doorstep. The flute players were fol-
lowed by a young boy carrying a torch
and veil, after whom came the bride
supported by two boys, and the groom
walking beside her. Behind these
came the boy with the bride’s spindle,
the family, and the chorus singing the
wedding song—all bearing torches.

When they reached the groom’s
door, Tulia wound the posts with
woolen bands and annointed them
with oil, the ceremony significant of
health and prosperity to come. It was |
believed that if a bride stumbled as

Dr. Campbell Morgan
To Be Here Next Year

Those of us who have been so for-
tunate as to hear Dr. Campbell Mor-

|gan in the past are more than de-

lighted to learn that he is to be on
the campus for a week next February,
to lecture. He has been with us for
two years in the past, 1922-23 and
1923-24; and the inspiration which
has come as a result of his talks
makes us doubly glad that he is to
be with us again next year.

We feel that it is a great honor to
Agnes Scott for Dr. Morgan to come
to us for he is sought by the largest
churches of the world. We are de-
lighted, however, that he has taken
such a personal interest in our col-
lege and in our girls that he really
likes to come.

she entered her future home, the mar-
riage would be unsuccessful; therefore
she was lifted over the threshold by
two of the boys. Only the groom and
the family entered after her, placing
their torches on the altar, while those
outside continued singing. The groom
handed the bride a bowl of burning
incense and one of water, touched by
both as a sign of mutual purity.
Gaius then presented the keys of the
house to Tulia. Then, lighting the
fire with her torch, she tossed the
torch to one of the girls outside. The
one who caught it was the next to be
married.

After this most interesting pre-
sentation of this ancient Roman cere-
mony, the club elected the following
officers for next year: Frances Craig-
head, president; Sarah Shields, vice-
president; Louise Woodard, secretary
and treasurer; Lora Lee Turner, chair-
man of program committee; Evelyn
Allbright and Louise Woodard, mem-
bers of the program committee.

We wish them as successful a year
as the favorable auspices predicted for
the marriage of Gaius and Tulia.

MAY DAY CELEBRATION GREAT
SUCCESS

fell on Lytle John, and he was pro-
claimed the hero of the day. But he,
thinking only of Kate, sought her in
the crowd, and offered her the Greene
Bough. She accepted it, and “followed
by ye cheering crowd, they go before
the Maye Throne to receive ye ap-
proyal and blessings of Robyn Hoode
and hys Faire Queene.”

Then, because the happiest hours
must end, the shadows begin to length-
en over the green, and night fall drove
the merry revelers home,

The principals of the cast were:

Queene,
Breedlove.

King, Robyn Hoode—Ruth Harrison.

Maydes: Ruth MeMillan, Grace
Boone, Virginia Grimes, Mary Kees-
ler, Mary Weems, Josephine Walker,
Elizabeth Clarke, Catherine Mitchell,
Ellen Walker, Josephine Douglass.

Kate—Katherine Rickards,

Lytle John—Gene Dozier.

Friar Tuck—Sterling Johnson.

Goddess of the Sun—Sarah Slaugh-
ter.

Jack of the Green—Mamie Shaw.

To the May Day Committee, Miss
Randolph, Walker Perry, Martha Lin
Manly, Sarah Slaughter, Frances Ten-
nent, Grace Etheridge, and Eloise Har-
ris, all honor is due for the delightful
glimpse of Olde England which they
gave the audience, It sat enthralled
by the picture of old England, her
bold yeomen and dainty maids; en-
raptured by the beauty of the Faire
Queene and her lvoely Maydes; and
delighted by the charm of the scene.
It followed the actors back to the day
when England was in its strong and
beautiful youth, and joined heartily in
their revelings of its carefree sons
and daughters. :

A splendid orchestra of six pieces
was responsible for the lovely render-
ing of the old English folk songs.
Their melody ran like a silver thread
through the pastel shades of the fes-
tival.

The entire proceeds will go to the
Student Fund for the Swimming Pool
and Stage in the new gymnasium. The
splendid audience which attended
guarantees that the fund will be ma-
terially increased.

Modern Education

A student brought his mother to the
university and was showing her about.
The dear old lady was anxious to
make her boy feel that she under-
stood everything.

“Over there, mother,” said the son,
“are our wonderful polo fields.”

“Ah,” sighed the old lady, “what is
there that is nicer than fields of wav-
ing polo?”

“May I kiss you, Ruth?” asked the
young man in the parlor.

“Oh,” replied Ruth, “Mother’s in the
other room.”
