New Semester Begins
at Agnes Scott College

Many Prominent Men Are
Present at the Opening
Exercises

The opening exercises this year, on
September the ninth, were of unusual
interest. Reverend Eakes, of the De-
eatur Methodist Church, made the in-
vocation, and Reverend Moncrief, of
the Decatur Baptist Church, read the
Scripture passages. After a beautiful
vocal solo by Mrs. S. G. Stukes, Rev.
B. R. Lacy, of the Central Presbyte- |
rian Church, made the principal ad-

dress. |
Dr. Lacy is a member of Agnes
Scott’s Board of Trustees and is a

favorite minister among the old stu- |
dents. His talk was directed chiefly
to the new girls, whom he told what
he would do if he were entering” col-
lege now. He said that he might fear
the sophomores, reverence the jun-
iors, and adore the seniors, but that
he would not feay the sophomores too
much, Among the things that he
would do were taking an active in-
terest in some one line of athletics
that he enjoyed, concentrating on one
particular subject and devouring all
the information that he could find on
it, and developing as many friend-
ships as possible.

Mrs. D. B. Donaldson, president of

Agnes Scott’s Alumnae Association,
extended a welcome to both the old
and the new girls.
_ Mr. J. K. Orr, the chairman of the
Board of Trustees, was reserved for
the last because, Dr, McCain said,
hitherfore other speakers have com-
plained that when Mr. Orr came first
on the program. he detracted all the
interest from their addresses. As.
usual, Mr. Orr gave with much jocu-
larity and wit a talk. full of wise
counsel.

‘At the close of the exercises, Mr.
Holt delighted the audience with his
announcement that Agnes Scott’s pe-
tition for a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa
had been granted. Congressman
Upshaw arose and suggested a rising
vote of thanks to Dr. MeCain and Mr
Holt for the work they had done in
obtaining this coveted honor for Agnes
Scott.

Then Mr. Upshaw was asked to dis-
miss the audience, and every one left
the chapel feeling that this year had
been favorably begun.

in Progress

Freshies Find Sophs Hard
Hazers,

It is the far-famed Sophomore
Week—the time when the Sophomores
take it upon themselves to show
Freshmen their proper place in life
The Sophs’ method of so doing is quite
evident from the following:

“We, the Class of 1928, in solemn
session assembled, being deeply con-
scious of the need for immediate and
drastic action in order to avert a ser
ous social vondition in che body pour

ourselves the duly constituted officials
to guard against such an eventuality,
having observed the light and frivol-
ous behavior of thé Freshmen, we
feel laid upon ourselves the task of
instilling in them the dignity and
poise necessary to every true daugh-
ter. of their Alma Mater; we, there-
fore, appealing to the all-wise Hae-
alty for the confirmation of our posi-
tion; do proclaim and enact these fol.
lowing laws to regulate the dress and

Looking Backward"

Blackfriars In Its Infancy.

Perhaps the members of Black
friars will be interested in the follow
ing quotation from the Agonistic, Vol
1, No. 1, Feb. 12, 1916; which de
scribes Blackfriars in its infancy:

“At the regular meeting of the
Dramatie Club on Thursday evening
the name of Blackfriars was ‘adopted
as official title by a practically unani-
mous vote of the’ members. Black:
friars is well known as the name foi
the dramatic organizations of a larg¢

-|mumber of our leading colleges, Smith

Princeton, Yale and Vassar being
among the number; and to be known
as a Blackfriar has always been equiv:
alent to a passport in full to the world
of drama, ;

“The Dramatic Club was organized
at Agnes Scott at the beginning oi
the first semester, and is filling «
| long-felt. need in our college world. At
the recommendation of the Faculty
committee, a nucleus of 14 charter
members was formed, consisting of
the following: Jeanette Victor, Presi-
dent; Louise Ware, Vice-President;
| Maryellen Harvey, Secretary; Lois
Eve, Treasurer; Vallie Young White.

New Gymnasium
Ready for Use

Swimming Pool and Stage-
Actualities

The new gymnasium at Agnes
Sectt, lone worked for and eagerly
ant‘cipated, is an actuality. The swim-
ming pool is to us the most exciting
feature. It is about sixty by twenty-
five feet and has a gallery for spee-
tators and many other accessories.

are dressing rooms and showers, and

We may obtain ours in May if we
wish to use bathing suits elsewhere.
Tha basement is well equipped with
lockers, showers, and other conhven-
iences.

There are three gymnasiums, The
one for individual work is in the base-
ment. The main floor upstairs easily
accommodates two games of basket-
ball at once; while the stage forms a
secondary gymnasium floor.

Dr. Sweet has a suite of offices on
the main floor, where she is already
happily at work using her new equip-
ment. An interesting innovation is
the schematoleraph or posturegraph
with which Miss Randolph illustrates
her derogatory remarks on our pos-
ture. Upstairs the new building has
headquarters for the various organi-
zations on the campus. The athletic
beard and the May Day committee,
who have a joint room, are planning
to furnish it attractively very soon.

The main gym can be turned into
an auditorium with a large balcony
and a palatial stage, where the Fresh-
men and Sophomores will soon demon-
strate their talents. The foot lights
and drops are the joy of Blackfriars.

Nor have the day students been

left out. There is a special room for
them in the basement. There is ‘also
a rest room containing eight beds
which is for the use of all college
students.
. The gymnasium building cost
around $175,000 and is one of: the
finest in the south. We are now eager
for the next unit in the Greater Ag-
nes Scott.

Granted Chapter
Phi Beta Kappa

One of Eight Colleges Rec-
ognized at Fall
Session.

Agnes Scott has another star in
her crown—a star of which she is
justly proud, and which will becom-
ingly adorn her. This new star is the
chapter of Phi Beta Kappa that was
recently granted to the college. We
are proud of this, not only because of
the national prestige it gives to our
college, but because it is a recogni-
tion of the high scholastic standards
and ideals of Agnes Scott. We know
that Agnes Scott holds her banners
high, all her banners of work and
honor. Therefore it is gratifying and
inspiring to know that our endeavors
are recognized and appreciated by
others,

The method of selection is new. For-

Prologue

Before asking your support of this, the eleventh volume of
the Agonistic, it is our privilege to explain what, to our mind, are
the functions of a college weekly, and the ideals toward which

this paper will strive in the collegiate year, 1925-1926.

It is pre-eminently the business of a college paper to distrib-|
ute news, both locally and abroad; locally in order that the college
community may be kept in touch with the activities of the cam-
pus and inspired to take part therein; abroad, in order that other
colleges and other people may know the nature of our college and

the standards on which it is founded.

It is likewise the purpose of our paper to uphold in its columns

“Race Relations in the South,’ was
the subject of Mr. Colquitt’s paper,
The other prize winners were Miss
Derothy Fahs, of Randolph Macon
Woman’s College, Va., with a paper
on “The Southern White College and
the South’s Race Problem,” and A. C.
Ray, of Davidson College, N. C., with
an oration entitled “The Clash of
Colors.”

There were fifty entries in the con-
test, representing more than thirty of
the leading institutions in twelve
states. Various phases of race rela-
tions were treated, among them edu-
cation, economic status, negro achieve-
ment, the negro church, interracial
cooperation, and the lynching evil.
All the papers submitted were of a
high order and a number had been
delivered as orations or published in
college periodicals.

Officials of the Interracial Commis-
sion express themselves as greatly
pleased with the results and are plan-
ning to conduct a similar contest this
year, full announcements of which
are promised in a few days.

NAMING THE AGONISTIC.

The first issue of THE AGONISTIC appeared Friday, Feb-
ruary 11, 1916. In the time that has elapsed since, doubtless we
have lost sight of the meaning of the term, “Agonistic’, and of
the circumstances under which it was adopted as the official name

of Button Gwinnett?
To the Editor.
My Dear Sir:

Working on a biography of Button
Gwinnett, one of Georgia’s three sign-
ers of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, I am coming to you for any
assistance which can be secured from
the people of your State. There must
be a great deal of correspondence m
existence contemporary with Gwin-
nett, say 1765 to 1777, in which pos-
sibly his name is mentioned or some
reference made to his doings, particu-
larly to the duel in which he was
killed. I have access to all the print-
ed books and papers and have secured
a great amount of information relat-
ing to his family and ancestry in
England. Also I have secured photo-
graphs of practivally every document
or letter written or signed by him.
His tombstone is said to have served
as a bar in one of the saloons in
Savannah. Do any of your readers
know as to the truth of this state-
ment? I -would be deeply grateful for
any information not already printed,
from old letters, diaries, etc., which
any one may have relating in any
way to Gwinnett or his home on St.
Catharines Island or the Rey. Thomas
Bosomworth, who was associated with
him in financial affairs, or General
Lachlan McIntosh.

Isn’t it lovely to be an “old” stu-
dent, as Dr. McCain—thoughtless of
voman’s greatest vanity—calls us?
sn’t it grand to answer the questions
rwe were asking last year and to be
chaperone instead of chaperone’s
charge for our first four trips to
own? And isn’t it superb to be a
SOPHOMORE and to have the first
few days of school a grand reunion
stead of a timid intrusion among
strangers? You should see us rush-

g into each other’s arms with
‘sereams of delight while Miss Hop-
‘kins and Mr. Stukes look on with in-
‘dulgent smiles and giggles.

One of the nicest things about

“school’s opening is the visitors we
Thave. Mary Ann, “Lu” Buchanan and
“Margaret McDow have all been here
‘in the role of Alumnae this week.
Then Louise Geeslin and Grace Eth-
eredge, who are “high-hatting” A. 8.
‘C. this year, came back to bid us a
tearful good-bye. How are we to get
valong, I wonder, without Louise to
cheer us up when we are blue—or
Grace to grace the choir and draw
posters for Maine!
_ Giddie, Freshmen are always a
dumb lot, and this year’s corp is no
exception (as our class was). Julia
Eve saw a ’phone call posted for her-
self but was afraid to eall it because
she did not know any one named
“Dearborn.” And Kitty Martin
thought Louise Plumb terribly tact-
less when she asked who her “grand-
mother” was, for, as she explained,
her grandmother had been dead sey-
eral years. But the dumbest one of
all thought the Stukes lived on Cand-
Mer and had a big family in college. It
ned out to be Sturges Cottage.
However, the Freshmen are not the

Agnes Scott Abroad

“When far from the reach of thy
sheltering arms” seems rather a vague
and distant clause while we are at
A. S. C., but, when we get letters
from Alumnae in distant lands, it is
not so hard to realize that our girls
are scattered far and wide and that
Alma Mater’s influence is world-em-
bracing. The following highly interest-
ing extract is taken from a letter by
Pocahontas Wight, ’25, and headed “4
Avenue des Chelets, August 19, 1925:”

“T am over here studying violin all
the year with Marcel Chailly.

“Mrs. Wicker, an old Agnes Scott
cirl, with whom I come abroad on the
Wicker tours, told me to write you
this for Agonistic. Coming over on
the S. S, Andonie, Cunard Line, who
should we find but Dick and Ruth
Scandrett and Ruth Craig, Margaret
McDow’s old room-mate. End of Part
NE

“Part 2. There were sixteen Sophie
Newcomb girls on the same boat and
three Randolph Macon. girls. On Sat-
urday morning, July 4th, we saw 4
sign on one of the tea tables in the
Lounge, ‘Reserved for Mt. Holyoke
girls at 4 o’clock,’ and a penciled sign
(handwriting) on the bulletin board,
as official as one of an executive meet-
ing, telling them to come. Well, after
reasoning the matter over, we decided
that they shouldn’t have anything on
us, SO we put up a sign in print and
in ink in correct poster form, orna-
mented with a pennant, with Agnes
Scott at the bottom of the matter, tell-
ing the world that those three re-
served the ‘Veranda Cafe’, all tables
included, for 4:30—which was equiv-
alent to telling the Yankees and the
English that there are such places on
the other side of Mason and Dixon.
And a rank of waiters, as optimistic
and attentive as only tipable persons
can be, brought in tea with cakes
just a little fancier than usual, We
all met each other, and were glad we
had. The Agnes scott girls were:

Kate Richardson Wicker, 1915.
Ruth Scandrett, 1922.

Dick Scandrett, 1924.

Ruth Craig, Ex. 1924.
Pocahontas Wight, 1925,”

only ones who go wrong. For in-
stance, Louise Leonard and Ruth
Evans Massengill spent an hour wait-
ing for Dr. Sweet to open her office
in the Infirmary. And a few Sopho-
mores thought that now that they had
attained such an exalted position—
even the street cars would wait for
them to make a slow and dignified
exit—but a walk back from the next
stop convineed them of their mistake.

Well, Giddie, I must hop over to
lab. and make an enlarged drawing
of my eyelash.

So, so long.

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 way-
ing polo?”

Lipkin knocked at the door of the
K. K. K. Office.

“Who’s there?” inquired the guard
from within.

“Tt’s me, Irish Lipkin.”

“Go on. Beat it,” commanded the
guard. “Don’t you know that you
can’t join this organization?”

“Vot? Join?” replied Irish. “I don’t
vant to join, I vant to see the man vot
buys the sheets.”

(From Manchester (N. H.) Leader.)

The west may not have had its day,
but it is plain that for some time
to core its star will not be in the
zenith, or to use another astronomical
metaphor, will be in oceutation. Con-
sider the grievous plight of the great
western railroads and the glittering
prosperity of the southern railroads.
The mercury of financial life sinks
down to five and a half a share,
twenty and twenty-five a share, eight
and fifteen dollars a share in the case
of western roads whose shares were
onee, and that within no long time
from fifty to one hundred and twenty

dollars each, according to whethe
oreferred or common.
But the shares of the southern

roads tell such a different story. Even
had they gone down somewhat in sym-
pathy with a supposed national slow-
ing down, even if they had shrunk in
price somewhat, but less than did th
shares of western roads, the south
could have chortled. But behold that
never have they been higher in most
instances, and if the Louisville and
Nashville is not so high as at one
time in the past, we must remember
that its capital stock was doubled,
that all stockholders were given one
new share with each old one, and that
its shares are again nearly as high
as when that melon was about to be
cut. Behold the fortune of the roads
that run from the north to the south,
behold the proud Chicago and North-
western, one of the best managed
roads in America, conservative, yet
progressive, running through one of
the wealthiest regions of the country,
linking great and opulent cities, this
preat road, all in the west, hardly
able to pay dividends, while the Ii-
nois Central, which abruptly leaver
the north, springs from that Chicago
that is its principal northern termi-
nus, leaping toward the south, behold
this road richer than ever, fat with
the bounty of the south. Behold the
Southern railroad with its common
stock higher than its preferred stock
not long ago and with rumors of a
stock dividend. Behold the Southern
Pacific expanding, the Missouri Pa-
cific getting back on its feet, the At-
lantie Coast Line bursting with money
and the Seaboard Air Line full of
promise of soon being a dividend
payer.

These roads that run in the south.
that lead into and out of the south.
could not be rich if money were not in
the south and whether that money be
but money poured down there out o
our coffers, with the old stockings of
New Hampshire depleted to furnish
part of that tribute, not the less have
we eloquent evidence that the south
has money. Money talks and it is
proclaiming the south rich. Rich
when we are mourning, when our rail-
roads are hard up, distressed, their
backs against the wall and the wall
caving in.

You cannot get away from it. The

Empire Takes Its Way”

south is rich and gets richer. If it
be tourists, as in part it is, think what
we are neglecting, what an empire we
of New Hampshire are letting slip
from out nerveless hands, asleep on
our onee mighty throne of the White
mountains, oldest and still most fa-
mous resort region of America, if we
will but let the country know it.
Never did we so much need publicity,
of all bills before the legislature what -
more vital to our future and our very
present than measures that provide
for good roads, permanent roads, de-
pendable roads, and for publicity, for
some money to be spent by intelligent
and devoted citizens to bring us back
again to the knowledge of our coun-
try, to put us again in their daily
thoughts.

Just now, it is the south and Cali-
fornia that is in their mind. Just now
it is the south that has money to
spend, and we shal’ do well to svend
some of our money in the south, to
cooperate with the south, to meditate
joining hands with their active and
most intelligent pubilicty bureaus to
the mutual benefit of ourselves and
themselves.

The south has money. It has the
tourist trade of America. No such
horde of pleasure seekers moves over
the face of nature anywhere else. It
goes after them and gets them, It has
cotton, it has fruit and early vege-
tables and its empire there is unas-
sailable. Once more the ancient port
of New Orleans, whose possession was
a crucial problem in the early his-
tory of our nation, promises to be-
come if not our greatest port, not far
from it. Southward the star of empire
takes its way.—From Atlanta (Ga.)

Blackfriars Plan Program
For Present Year

“Daddy Longlegs” To Be Presented About Thankesiving

It is planned that the annals of
Blackfriar Club history shall record
the term 1925-26 as an epoch making
one. Upon the suggestion of the Ex-
ecutive Committee, a great deal of
time is to be devoted to dramatic
study. Mary Freeman, as chairman
of the program committee, in con-
sultation with Miss Gooch, who has
had a summer of study at Oxford,
England, have mapped out an educa-
tive and attractive course for study
of the drama.

In order to know what other nations
are doing in the field of the drama,
the program committee is planning to
have presented plays of the foremost
authors of the world—plays charac-
terizing the nature of the present day
drama in each writer’s specific cor-
ner of the universe. Thus will Black-
friars be made familiar with Ameri-
ean, English, Scandinavian, Russian,
Scottish, Italian, German, Spanish
and French “play life.”

For the purpose of developing an
accurate and artistic appreciation of
plays and actors, a ten-minute study
of “dramatic criticism” is to be made
every meeting. Stark Young, the
dramatic critic for the New York
Times, has recently published a book
of criticism called “Glamor,’”’ which
the club will use as a basis for this
phase of work.

It was thought expedient to spend
several minutes at each meeting on
practical problems in parliamentary
law, so that the members of Black-
friars entering in club work after
graduation might prove the compe-
tent leaders which they, as Agnes

Scott graduates, should be,

In view of the possible presentation
of a Greek play at the 1925 Com-
mencement Season, some time will be
devoted, during the second semester,
to a study of the Greek drama.

“Daddy Longlegs’” has been voted
by the club, to be the “Premiere,” the
initial presentation at Thanksgiving
time on Agnes Scott’s splendid new
stage. As a forerunner of the “Pre-
miere,” the repetition of the group
of one-act plays given last commence-
ment has been asked for, to be given
in the nature of an interesting study
of the added possibilities offered by
a good, spacious stage plus effective
lighting.

The year bodes to be an exception-
ally good one, with an interesting pro-
gram of activity.

Blackfriar officers are:

Ellen Douglas Leyburn, President.

Mary Freeman, Vice-President.

Roberta Winter, Secretary.

Florence Perkins, Treasurer.

Frances Freeborn, Stage Manager.

Elizabeth Moore, Property Manager.

Miss Gooch, Director.

PINE LODGE CAMP HAS
BEEN OPENED.

Camp opened with a flourish last
week end when the Athletic Board
had its opening business meeting out
there. Or rather, we may say, after
it was opened there was much flurry
and scurry when afore mentioned
Athletic Board began cleaning up
camp.

It is now in spick and span order
ready for the use of other A. S. camp-
ers. Many improvements have been
planned, too, for which we will all be
truly thankful—such as brown stain
on the outside and maybe a new
stove that even the dumbest of us
can make burn.

We also owe a rising vote of thanks
to Mr. Venable for he has most kind-
ly offered us his cottage again for
this year. Further announcement will
be made about signing up for this.

K, Uh BS Jennounces Plans
For Year—Ten New
Members Elected

K. U. B., the journalistic club at
Agnes Scott, has announced its plans
for this year. The aim of K. U. B.
is to advertise Agnes Scott. Through
weekly communications with the lead-
ing newspapers of the state, the club
seeks to keep Agnes Scott ever be-
fore the eye of the public and to
inform interested patrons and friends
of Agnes Scott’s glories and attain-
ments. In the past, K. U. B. has cor-
responded regularly with the three
Atlanta papers and the Decatur pa-
per. This year, however, the field of
correspondence is being extended to
Savannah, Augusta, Macon, Athens,
Birmingham, Charlotte and others. A
second additional feature of this year’s
program is the establishment of a
correspondence with the home town
papers of each girl in school. It is
hoped that K. U. B. will be the per-
sonal link between the home towns
and the college girls, by this meth-
od of keeping the newspapers of the
“old home town” posted on the ac-
complishments of their representa-
tives at Agnes Scott.

To carry on this extensive pro-
gram, it was necessary for K. V. B.
to invite new members to join her
in the work. An unusually large
number of students made their ap-
plicatiion for membership in the
form of “try-outs” but on account of
the number of old members, it was
necessary to limit acceptance to only
ten. These were: Evelyn Wood,
Mary Ellis, Sally Lindsay, Mary Per-
kinson, Anna Mae McCollum, Emily
Kingsberry, Mariam Preston, Louise
Lovejoy, Mary Ray Dobyns, Margaret
Edmundson.

Library of Current
Fiction Established

in Cabinet Room

To Be Sponsored by House,
Y. W. C. A. and Student
Government.

Girls, attention! At last Agnes
Scott is to have her library of cur-
rent fiction. Hoasc, Y. W. C, A., and
Student Government are the fairy
godmothers. And, by the way, no
more dates in the cabinet rooms, for
that is to be the place of the trans-
formation. Low, shaded lights, seats
with comfortable cushions, and walls
lined with book-filled bookcases will
delight our romantic souls. There
will be current fiction, poetry, and
drama, as well as biographies, criti-
cisms, and book reviews. Eventually
there will be magazines. Books will
be let out on the two-cents a day
basis. Any girl who takes out a book
is on her honor not to lend it to any-
one else and to bring it back to the
reading room as soon as she has fin-
ished with it. The limit of the length
of time that a book can be kept out
has not yet been decided.

Of course time and cooperation
will be necessary for the carrying out
of this plan, but the godmothers are
counting on their Cinderellas. Have
you any books with which you have
finished that others would enjoy? Or
do you know of any books which you
would like to have in the reading
room? Or perhaps you have a little
extra change? If you have books,
money, or suggestions, bring them to
Margaret Tufts, 41 Inman. As Agnes
Seott grows into the Greater Agnes
Scott, let us make our reading room
keep pace with her!

Senior Grandmothers
Give Party for
Freshmen.

Grandmother Gooch Tells
Story.

The Seniors and half of the Jun-
iors entertained the two hundred odd
Freshmen at an eld fashioned party
in the new gym last Saturday. One
end of the main floor was decorated
like Grandmother’s sitting room. <A
cheery fire glowed on the broad hearth,
and scattered here and there were
gay chintz coverel chairs—the kind
that you dream o* when you are so
tired sitting on kard wooden chairs
that you don’t knew what to do.

Before the games and the stories
began, programs cit in the shape of
elephants, and ca’s and even goats
were distributed. Miss Gooch told
a story of the delightful “once upon
a time” and “they «ll lived happy ever
after” variety. Emily Cope danced,
and Florence Perkins gave a reading.

All day suckers were passed around
to the children and their grandmoth-
ers—there were some jolly grandfath-
ers, too—while the guests played
“London Bridge’ and attempted to
pin the tail on the pig.

To end a joyous evening two old
nigger mammies served ginger bread
men. Punch and apples completed
the refreshments. Then the children
went home, to have their grandmoth-
ers tell them a bedtime stories, and to
dream of fairy princes.

Lecture Association
Presents Stunt

Sad indeed will Ve the fate of the
girl who has already spent her last
cent, and has not previously obtained
a little green card. Lecture Associa-
tion membership, it stands for—yet,
if she possessed only the card, and
not a cent in the world, she may ob-
tain almost anything or any station
that she desires. The Lecture Asso-
ciation by means of an uproarously
funny stunt presented Tuesday eve-
ning showed us how readily a girl
lacking culture entered High Society
by taking advantage of the lectures
to which her little green card ad-
mitted her.

High society, befittingly plumed and
colored, entered the stage and took
exalted seats at the center back of the
platform. These cultured persons
were impersonated by Mary Davis,
Mary Weems, Catherine Rogers,
Olivia Swann. To this assembly came
Martha Crowe, easily recognized as
Low Class. She necessarily had her
seat on the bottom steps. Sad, she
was, for she had spent her last cent.
One little green card was all she pos-
sessed. Therefore she decided to take
advantage of what it offered, and hear
the scheduled lectures. Her ambition
was to rise in station to the elegant
ladies above her, ladies who were
casting such remarks concerning her
as “I’d rather be a dog and bay at
the moon than such a low one,” for
in that group was a man, one Count
Citronella, who had already caught
her eye,

The first attraction that the card
admitted Low Class to, was the lec-
ture by Stephen Leacock. Mary Ri-
viere powerfully put over the wit of
the great humorist. The audience was
so enthralled that it actually felt that
this year was last year and that the
roar from without was the same pro-
longed roar that startled our ears at
that past time. After that evening of
cultured humor, Low Class was per-
mitted to rise one whole step nearer
High Society and the Count.

Another step she rose after viewing
with lively interest the rats which
Helena Hermance, disguised as Dr.
McCollum, brought forward for her
cultural development.

Again she ascended when Du Bose
Haywood, impersonated by Grace Au-

The Cotillion Club, by upholding
the standard of conservative and
graceful dancing, aims to promote
dancing in the college community.
The club has charge of the Wednes-
day and Saturday night dances in
the gym and always offers in addi-
tion many interesting features dur-
ing the year.

Y. W. Urges Church
Affiliation and Part
in Social Service

Affiliation, Thursday Ves-
pers, Social Service,
in Plans.

An effort is being made to have
the church affiliation this year more
personal, by having the day students
extend to the girls living on the cam-
pus invitations to their churches and
Sunday schools. At the Y. W. C. A.
service Sunday night, Virginia Hol-
lingsworth, who is president of the
day students, spoke of the value of
having a church home while in col-
lege and of the importance of keep-
ing unbroken church relationships.
She gave a cordial welcome in behalf
of the day students to each girl board-
ing at Agnes Scott to attend the Sun-
day schools and churches of Decatur
and Atlanta and to select one par-
ticular church where she will attend
regularly and feel at home.

The Y. W. C, A. has a plan to have
on Thursday evening after prayers,
classes of informal open discussion
conducted by upper classmen for the
freshmen. The Freshmen will be
divided into five groups and will dis-
cuss at various meetings college ac-
tivities and different phases of col-
lege life.

The practical way of showing the
religion we profess in church prayers,
can be found in the social service de-
partment which offers a broad field
for usefulness and real service. The
following is a list of girls who have
charge of the different lines of work.
Sign up for one of them!

Elizabeth Callen—Crippled Chil-
dren’s Home.

Nell Hillhouse—The Wesley House.

Elizabeth Chapman — Associated
Charities.

Mary Mackey

Carolyne Essig—Grady Hospital.

Hough — Orphan’s

Calendar for October

Although October comes very early
in the scholastic year, it always
brings with it many interesting
events on the social calendar. Real-
izing that “all work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy,” the various
departments at Agnes Scott endeavor
to give us some entertainment prac-
tically every Saturday night. And so,
all those girls who do not have friends

The usual academic procession to
announce the names of those girls in
the Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman
classes who did honor work last year
took place at the chapel period on
Thursday, Sept. 24th. Senior hon-
ors were announced at commencement
last May. After Dr, McCain read
the list, all sang the Alma Mater in
conclusion.

The honor roll for last year follows:

JUNIOR CLASS.
Isabelle Clarke.
Louisa Duls.
Catherine Graeber.
Juanita Greer.
Nan Lingle.
Josephine North.
Grace Augusta Ogden.
Margaret Whitington,

SOPHOMORE CLASS.
Frances Buchanan.
Susan Clayton.
Mary Loyd Davis.
Kenneth Maner.
Miriam Preston.
Mamie Shaw.

FRESHMAN CLASS,

Leila Anderson.

Myrtle Bledsoe.

Frances Brown.

Elizabeth Grier.

Evangeline Papageorge.

As Dr. McCain said, this announce-
ment does not necessarily mean that
all these girls are prospective Phi
Beta Kappas, but it is only a recog-
nition of excellent scholastic achieve-
ment.

Athletic Rally

The Athletic Board held a rally in
the new gymnasium last Wednesday
evening, the purpose of which was to
arouse interest in the inter-class ath-
letics which our campus offers. The
members of the Athletic Board
dressed in gym costumes filed out
upon the stage. Then, one at a time
each member stepped out before the

rest, and in delightful rhyme, in-
vited the student body to take
part in her particular sport. As

she stepped back in line, the whole
Athletic Board took up the rhyme,
and sang it as a chorus. At the close
of the program, the President of the
Athletic Association invited the
guests to stay awhile to dance and
drink athletic lemonade.

The members of the
Board as are follows:

President Athletic Association, Sa-
rah Slaughter.
Vice President, Sterling Johnson.

Freshmen!

Once a lad was crossing the desert for the first time. The hot
sands burned his feet and blew into his eyes; his throat was
parched; and the journey seemed endless. As he thought to faint
from weariness, he saw a band of Arabs coming toward him.
They were laughing and talking, and seemed unaware of the
frightful heat and sand. The youth was surprised and asked the
secret of their comfort. ‘My boy,” replied an Arab, “we have
travelled on the desert for years, you are only beginning.”

All beginnings are hard. It is their nature. Perhaps you
have found that the principle applies in the opening days of a
college career. Perhaps you have found, that to prepare college
lessons requires work undreamed of in high school days, that you
lack a proper foundation for Latin prose, that you have forgotten
high school algebra, that you have made several “F’s’”? Perhaps
you feel that there is hardly time to eat and sleep? Perhaps you
are homesick, blue, half-despairing?

If you are in such a situation, ask yourself Emerson’s calm
question, “So hot, little sir?” So worried and confused and dis-
tressed over lessons. Remember, you came to college fo prepare
yourself for following the Master, that is, for serving your fel-
lowman best—all the rest is a matter of detail. It is a question of
seeing big things big and little things little. Keep your eyes on
the goal, and incidentals will care for themselves, if you only
consider that you “can do all things through Christ, which
strengtheneth you.”

It is, and always will be, an intangible thing—that urging
within the heart of a girl that makes her yell “I’m a Hottentot”
until her throat is sore, that keeps her from talking in the hall
when lights are out, that keeps her silent during chapel period,
that makes her smile as she passes fellow classmates on the cam-
pus, that makes her answer, “Charmed,”’ when she is asked to
decorate the gym building, or make posters, or sing at an enter-
tainment, that makes her love the tower of Main and brings tears
to her eyes at the strains of “Alma Mater”—it is a something
which we call the “spirit of Agnes Scott.”

FIRST MEETING OF THE) ranged like a home living room. Va-

rious decorations were placed here

BLACKFRIARS IS and there, which added very much to

HELD. the attractiveness of the room. A

pleasing musical program was ren-

dered and was thoroughly enjoyed by
all present.

The girls were made to feel the
eordiality of the “church home” and
to know that they would receive a
hearty welcome in the Decatur Bap-
tist Church.

Annual Asks for Additional
Budget

“Very Naked Boy” Played.

The first Blackfriar meeting of the
1925-26 session was held Friday aft-
ernoon, September 18. The president
turned the meeting over to the direc-
tor of the club and the program com-
mittee, for the purpose of outlining
their working plan for the year.

Stuart Walker’s charming little
“The Very Naked Boy,” was given as
the first of a series of plays bespeak-

The Silhouette staff found it neces-

ing the drama of the different peoples
of the world—the “Very Naked Boy”
an American one-act play. The fol-
lowing composed the cast:

BAPTIST GIRLS ENTER-
TAINED IN DECATUR
CHURCH.

The Baptist girls of A. S. C. were
very delightfully entertained in the
church parlors of the Decatur Baptist
Church on Friday evening, September
25th, between the hours of 8 and 10.
The girls were chaperoned to the
church, where they found the parlors

sary to request additional funds from
the student body in order to hold this
year’s annual up to the present stand-
ard, as it was reported last Friday
by the editor, Nan Lingle. Since
many merchants in Atlanta have
joined the Merchants’ Association,
which forbids the giving of adver-
tisements to college annuals, it has
been impossible for the business
manager of the annual to secure as
much money by advertisements as has
been collected heretofore; and the de-
ficiency must be made up in some
way. By a unanimous vote of the
students, it was decided to make up
the lack of money by adding one dol-
lar and a half to each student’s bud-
get. The budget fee for the second
been collected heretofore and the de-
and a half instead of five dollars.

MANY SESQUI SPORTS DATES
ALREADY SET—WORLD STARS
WILL COMPETE IN STADIUM

Greatest Program Ever Arranged Either Side of Atlantic
Will Cover Entire Period of Exposition—Every
Branch Represented by Prize Winning
Athletes After New Records.

Philadelphia, September 25.

Definite dates already have been
set for many events in the sports
program of the Sesquicentennial In-
ternational Exposition and dates for
others will be fixed as soon as vari-
ous associations or governing bodies
in various branches meet. When com-
pleted, the program will eclipse any
ever arranged on either side of the
Atlantic.

Dr. George W. Orton, Sesquicen-
tennial Director of Sports, has receiv-
ed the assurance of Hon. Murray Hul-
bert, President, and Fred Rubien,
Secretary-Treasurer of the A. A. U.
and many A. A. U. heads here and
in other cities, that various A. A. U.
championships will be held in Phila-
delphia during the Exposition in 1926.

Track and field championships,
swimming championships, and other
events will bring together famed ath-
letes from all sections of America as
well as from Europe.

Three Industrial Meets

Mr, John T. Coleman, chairman of
the sub-committee announces three
big industrial meets will be given, one
being the annual championships of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, another
being open to all railroads, and the
third open to all men in industrial
work. These meetings will probably
be mammoth affairs with from 6,000
to 10,000 persons competing. Can-
ada will be represented in the rail-
road meet and other railroads far dis-
tant from Philadelphia will send their
best men and women.

Dr. Elmer, Chairman of the sub-
committee on Archery, has already re-
ceived word that the National Arch-
ery Championships will be allotted
to Philadelphia next’ year. The Fresh
Water Casting Association of Amer-
ica also yoted to hold its champion-
ships in Philadelphia.

Two Big College Meets

Both the I. C. A. A. A. A. and the
N. C, A. A. will hold their champion-
ships in connection with the Sesqui-
centennial, these being the two most
important college track and field meets
of the year.

The Army, Navy and Marine Corps
will hold their championships in base-
ball, swimming, track and field, ten-
nis, golf, boxing and wrestling and
football in Philadelphia next summer,
this being the-first time the three
branches of the Service will meet for
championship honors. These events
will be thrown open to the three
Services of all the countries of the
world and some of them are certain
to be International,

The American Kennel Club, for the
first time in its history, will give a

show as part of the Sesquicentennial
Sports’ program, This guarantees to
Philadelphia the finest dog show ever
held in America.

William M. Hollenback, chairman
of the sub-committee on football, is
working on a schedule of college
games that will fill the City’s new
Stadium on numerous occasions in
spite of the fact that there will be
100,000 seats and standing room for
100,000 more.

Douglas Stewart, chairman of the
sub-committee on soccer, has arrang-
ed for four tournaments for elemen-
tary schools, high schools, colleges
and clubs respectively.

Good Manners

Column

Good manners are at bottom, good-
will, kindness, thoughtfulness, and
therefore, their essence is always the
same from age to age. Lord Ches-
terfield would not feel embarrassed
were he to revisit high society to-
day for his actions would be guided
by the kindest way, now as they
were then, It is only the outward
side of good manners that changes
the ways of doing things, not the
principle behind the doing. But, in
order to be most courteous, one must
be up on the ways, as forms in pres-
ent use among the best society, just
as one must know the words and
pronunciations in present use among
the best society. The science of these
best ways is called Etiauette.

The cardinal point of etiquette to
which our attention needs to be called
in these days of meeting so many
new people, is perhaps the question
of how to introduce properly. The
following discussion taken from Em-
ily Post’s discussion of the subject:

“On formal occasions the ‘word
‘present’ is preferable to the word ‘in-
trodnee,’ thus:

“Mrs. Jones, may I present Mrs.
Smith ?’”

In the briefer form of introduction
commonly used, we have:

“Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Smith.”

The younger person is always pre-
sented to the older—or more distin-
guished, but a gentleman is always
presented to a lady, even though he
is an old gentleman of distinction
and the lady a mere girl. In case
“may I present” is omitted, the more
important name is given a slight ris-
ing accent.

Other permissible forms of intro-
duction are:

“Mrs. Jones,
Smith?”

“Mrs. Jones, have you met Mrs.
Smith,” ete.

Never say: “Mrs. Jones, shake
hands with Mrs. Smith,” or “I want
to make you acquainted with Mrs.
Smith,” or “Mrs. Jones, my friend,
Mrs. Smith.” To call one person “my
friend” is to imply that the other is
a stranger.

When gentlemen are introduced to
each other, they always shake hands.
When a lady is introduced to a gen-
tleman, she sometimes proffers her
hands, especially if she has known
him long, but usually she merely
bows. Never refuse to shake hands
if a gentleman puts his out upon in-
troduction.

do you know Mrs.

Best society has only one phrase
in acknowledgment of an introduc-
tion: “How do you do?”

October 12th to 15th, American
Show in Stadium or one of the Ex-
position Palaces.

November 8th to 10th, Elementary
Kennel Club Sesquicentennial Dog
School Soccer Tournament.

November 15th to 19th, Interschol-
astic Soccer Tournament.

November 22nd to 26th, Intercol-
legiate Soccer Tournament.

On each Saturday in October and
November, Mr. Hollenback will sched-
ule a feature college football game.

New Swimming

Pool Opens

Inter-Class Meets and Water
Polo Planned.

“Oh, would you like to learn to swim

Just like a wiggly fish?

Come on in; the pool is fine,
The water is delish!”
|

Imagine having a sure enough pool
at A. S. C. to take the place of our
‘fat man’s bath tub.” Why, our new
pool is big enough to get wet in all
over at once.

The Athletic Association is plan-
ning to make swimming one of the
major sports of the year. There'll
be a silver cup which will go to the
champion class at the end of the year.

Our program as been planned as
follows:

Three big inter-class swimming
meets; one to be held very soon, one
during the winter and the grand finale
in the spring. There will be oppor-
tunity for swimmers of every type to
participate in these meets—form
swimmers, divers, speed swimmers,
and stunt swimmers. Each event will
count a number of points which will
be accredited to the class to which the
winning swimmer belongs. In the
spring, an all-star swimming team
will be picked, the members of which
will receive letters as all other teams
do.

But this is not all. In between bas-
ketball and hockey seasons we're
going to have a season of water polo.
There will be interclass games every
week, just as in the other sports.
Points won by the classes in that
sport for first, second, and third
places will be added with those won
in the three meets, to finally deter-
mine the winner of the swimming cup.

Everybody come out and help your
class win. There’s a place for all. If
you can’t swim well enough now,
there’s time and opportunity to learn
in our GRAND NEW POOL!

THE ATHLETIC BOARD
SPENDS WEEK-END
AT CAMP.

The camping season of 1925-26
opened with a vim when the Athletic
Board spent the week-end of Septem-
ber 20 at Pine Lodge. Miss Randolph
and Miss Sinelair were the athletic
chaperones who added much to the
life of the party.

When the board arrived at camp
late Saturday afternoon, they found
that during the summer all the eating
utensils had been stolen. As a result,
one knife, one fork, one teaspoon, and
one tablespoon—hastily purchased in
Stone Mountain—had to supply all 14
of the campers. The improvised plates
were successful, though rather leaky
—being sheets of typewriting paper.
The only articles plentiful enough to
go around were the glasses.

While Sarah was down at the well
washing up after supper, the rest of
the board slipped off and went for a
swim in the lake. They regretted their
duplicity, however, for the lake was
very low and the water had a most
disagreeable odor. The plunge did
not last long.

After a very exciting and rather
sleepless night—lack of sleep being
due to various persistent insects seem-
ingly not at all affected by citron-
ella, bug juice, or other remedies—
the board arose to a belated breakfast
of grapes, coffee, and Lib Lynn’s hot
eakes. The very hot weather had a
wilting effect on several members of
the board who seemed inclined to doze
off during the business meeting that
followed breakfast. At this meeting
the business for the coming year was
discussed, and all sorts of new and
interesting plans are well under way.

In spite of the oppressive heat,
about 12:30 the board felt an urge
to eat. After some moments a lunch-
eon of sandwiches, rolls, fruit salad,
canned peas, and lemonade was
served. When the members had all
eaien their fill, the camp was given a
good cleaning and put in ship-shape
for the next group of campers, and
the Athletic Board came back to ciy-
ilization, hot and tired, but happy.

Giddie Gossip

In the Library.
Dearest Giddie:
Having spent the last two hours

be-disregarded hint to my Dad that
a check would be very acceptable, I
am overcome by exhaustion and the
heat.
cumstances no teacher will expect me

IT am sure that under the cir-

to study, so I will continue my liter-
ary efforts, making you the victim.

Giddie, it you: had been a freshman
here Friday night you would have
thought you were having a night
mare with all the local color of the
Sea Hawk. You see, the Sophs dress-
ed as pirates and descended upon the
dazed freshmen at midnight. One of
them was so innocent that she lent me
a full regalia to wear, bloomers, skirt,
bandanna and all! Being a pirate is
exciting but rather strenuous. I don’t
believe any freshman—no matter how
far she had to go to get the Agnes
Seott spirit—pulled out of bed the
next morning with as many groans
and creakings as I did.
how Bluebeard managed? But, I guess

I wonder

he never had eight o’clock classes to
contend with.

Even two weeks at Agnes Scott
have not made all the freshmen lose
their faith in Sophomores. Clara Stone
asked me yesterday when the work of
straightening Maine tower would be-
gin—said she invested fifty cents i:
the enterprise and would like to see
the work begin. And Mary Print is
still waiting for the date space she
bought to be delivered to her.

Giddie,
school we found a brand new gym

when we came back to

ready for us—and speaking of style,
we have it. Going swimming has as
much ceremony attached to it as be-
ing presented at court. Anyone ca-
pable of making the correct manoeu-
vers, and arriving at the pool (clad in
one of those dashing gray cotton
bathing suits) in less than two hours
ought to be put on the honor roll,
and as Louise Duls says, “You have
to be mighty good to make the honor
roll.”

Giddie, let me ask your advice. Do
you think it would be better to sit on
the back seat of Mr. Holt’s class and
have him suspect that I am dumb, or
to sit on the front seat and look in-
telligent so he will ask me a question
and thus discover how dumb I am?
Please write me soon, as lots depends
on your answer.

Yours ‘till Miss White ceases te
shoo me.

AGGIE.

Eat Spinach and Be
Yourself

With the formal opening of the
gym department by the registration
of students on Wednesday afternoon,
Aggie takes a farewell look at her
previously free afternoons, and, with
a sigh, starts on her yearly pursuit
of health.

Miss Randolph made the opening
address, and her talk on “What Pure
Spinach Will Do for Pale Puny Peo-
ple,” won many new converts to the
cause. And now, while the cry,
“Down with the Spinach” resounds
throughout the dining halls, Aggie
hurriedly gulps her alloted share of
this, our favorite fruit.

But all things have their compen-
sations, and we must remember that
the opening of gym classes also
means the opening of the new swim-
ming pool. And who minds a little
thing like afternoon classes if one
may stroll along the dry path attired
in one of the new Sea More bathing
suits to a plunge in the undiscovered
depths of the cool green waters? All
Annette Kellermans step right this
waly! Dont’s hurry and don’t crowd.

PI ALPHA PHI HOLDS
FIRST MEETING.

Pi Alpha Phi held its first regular
meeting Thursday night, Sept. 24, at
7 p.m. The meeting was called to
order by Catherine Graeber, president,
with Elsa Jacobsen acting as secre-
tary. Elizabeth Henderson was elect-
ed secretary to fill the place of Eve-
lyn Powell, who found it necessary
to resign because of having too many
points. It was announced that Miss
Jackson had been chosen by Dr. Mc-
Cain as a member of the debating
council,

There was no regular debate sched-
uled but the members of Pi Alpha Phi
were delighted to have as speakers
Quenelle Harold, Pi Alpha Phi’s first
president, and Daisy Frances Smith,
the club’s second president.

Quenelle told us of debating in the
days before Pi Alpha Phi was found-
ed. Debating was carried on through
the Propylean and Mnosynean liter-
ary societies. A team was chosen
from each society and the two win-
ners of the inter-society debate auto-
matically became the inter-collegiate
debaters against Newcomb. This was
followed by the selection of ten girls
as honorary members of a debating
club known as Pi Alpha Phi. But
even this proved unsatisfactory and
was followed by the organization of
Pi Alpha Phi as it is today. The ad-
mission to the club was put on a try-
out basis and this system has proved
most satisfactory. Quenelle also told
us of the real, practical value of de-
bating even after college days are
over, She concluded by encouraging
the members to enter whole-heartedly
into debating and to derive the great-
est possible benefit from it.

Then Daisy Frances explained how
Pi Alpha Phi was interested not only
in the selection of inter-collegiate de-
baters, but in the flevelopment of
each individual girl. She also re-
minded the club that it was Agnes
Scott’s time for a double victory and

INTERCOLLEGIATE
NEWS.

The Agonistie is glad to acknowl-
edge the following exchanges:

“The Spokesman,” Greenville Wom-
an’s College.

“The Hornet,” Furman University.

“The Davidsonian,” Davidson Col-
lege.

“The Salemite,” Salem College.

These papers, and other exchanges,
upon their arrival, will be put on file
in the Library for the use of stu-
dents.

Instead of the grandchildren that
the old Agnes Scott girls have, there
are the “little sisters” for the uppel
classmen of Salem College, Winston-
Salem, N. C. The following advice ir
the Salemite may be well given to our
“orandmothers.”

“Every upper classman has been as-

she has done her best to help her
through the first strange and perhaps
trying days of her college life. But
it would be well for the ‘big sister’ to
remember that the freshman may
need a friend, even after she has
learned her way about. She may have
her problems, her moments of un-
happiness when the affection and ad-
vice of a ‘big sister’ would be both
welcome and helpful. Because she
seems accustomed to the new life is
no reason to neglect a ‘little sister.’
Don’t forget her; be her friend and
it may be that you will do more good
than of which you are aware.”

The Salemite also carries an inter-
esting article concerning a new ar-
rangement of the sections of English
classes for freshmen.

“Freshmen English students have

been given tests in spelling, pronun- | _

ciation, punctuation, sentence struc-
ture, grammar and idiomatic usages.
The tests will determine the section
to which each freshman will be as-
signed.”

It is not clear to us just how these
soctions are determined, but the plan
sounds interesting, and certainly new.

From Furman comes the news that
chapel is te be required three days a
week. The Agonistic would like to
hear some discussion on the adoption
of such a plan; and offers as a means
for this, its Open Forum column,
which is to continue this year.

gusta Ogden (was there subtlety in

evening with delightful poetry and a
discussion of the McDowell Colony.

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, through
Janet McDonald, gave Low Class her
final boost to the top, with excellent
tips regarding brains—‘a” and “b”
brains, and an occasional mention of
a “e” brain, which did not particularly
concern Agnes Scott, said Mrs. Catt.
Also about grandmothers. She told
Low Class to carefully choose her
grandmother, and to be a good grand-
mother herself by passing on the “a”
brain that she now must have, having
profited by the lectures to which the
little green card admitted her.

Now a cultured lady of the High

vented a final clinch and satisfactory

Day Sradent News

Mrs. Arabella Moore
HEMSTITCHING, BUTTONS,

To some, the new gym may be a
gym and nothing more, but not to
the day students. Before classes were
in full swing, and long before reg-
istration for “games and apparatus”
was even thought, of the training of
the day students was well under way.
Not in trig or psych or chemistry,
but in the development of moral char-
acter! In this training, the instruc-
tors are none other than the exasper-
ating padlocks on the new lockers in
the gym basement. It sounds ridicu-
lous, but when a girl gets red-faced
trying to make a key turn in the pad-
lock, only to discover that the key is
in upside down, or, perhaps, the locker
she is trying to get into is not even
her own, then surely she deserves a
place on the “Padlock Honor Roll,”
if she has managed to “keep sweet”
during the ordeal.

But we-that-return-home-every-day
are expecting the gym to mean more
to us than “just a gym” in another
way, 4 way more pleasant than deal-
ing with padlocks. For we intend to
spend much of our leisure time in
the new room we've been given in the
gym. Though evicted from our apart-
ment under the library, we are work-
ing to make our new home as attrac-
tive as our old. We hope that all
day students, particularly the new

BLACKFRIARS CAST
ANNOUNCE PROGRAM

Three One-Act Plays To Be Given

Blackfriars will present an inter-
esting group of one-act plays Satur-
day night, October 24, in the new gym
as a forerunner of the much talked of
‘Daddy Longlegs.”

The plays are well chosen and
varying in nature. Stuart Walker’s
“Nevertheless” is a delightful little
study of child life. Halman’s “Will
0’ the Wisp” is an eerie, highly emo-
tional play dealing with the lur-
ing, irresistible, “Flickering light of
the moon.” Brighouse’s “Followers”
is a lovely little sketch of colonial
romance. The plays are clever,

The presentation of this group last
year at commencement time showed

ter lighting effects, the plays prom-

ise to be exceptionally interesting.

Y. W. C. A. Notes

Many of us at college are frankly
ignorant of current events, and take
little time to read magazines and
newspapers on the happenings of to-
day. The Y. W. C. A. feels that if
we had some guide to reading so that
we should not have to waste much
time hunting for good articles, we
would take more interest in becoming
acquainted with present-day prob-
lems. This organization, with the
help of Miss Davis, Miss Hearon and
Miss Laney, is planning, therefore, to
keep posted in the library a list of
worth while current

articles on

events, literary contributions, social
conditions, and economic problems. It

is hoped that the students will profit
by the work done in keeping such a

list and will gain more knowledge of
modern affairs.

On every Friday evening at 9:45
there are held evening watch services
in every building, These family-like
gatherings are truly worthwhile to
those who take part in them.

In regard to our public worship, it
is urged that the students will be
more careful in attending church on
time. It is disturbing to the rest of
the congregation for us to enter late,
and, too, we would probably be bene-
fitted by taking part in the opening
exercises. A bell rings at 10:40 as
a warning to leave in just a little
while for the Decatur churches.

At the Y. W. C. A. services on
Sunday night, October 4th, Margaret
‘Tufts gave a talk on the importance
of membership in this organization.
This week there is a membership
campaign, and next Sunday there will
take place the recognition service of
the new girls who join the Y. W. C. A.

BLACKFRIARS ELECTS

ELEVEN NEW
MEMBERS.

Eleven very thrilled girls were the
centers of equally exe ted groups of
their friends last Thu sday morning.
Each of the much-con.ratulated ones
held in her hand an unpretentious
looking envelope, on one corner of
which was printed that magic name
—Blackfriars. Inside was a cordial
little note from the secretary wel-
coming them as associate members
of Blackfriars. No wender they were
thrilled and their friends excited, for
not only had they attained the co-
veted honor of membership in this
organization but also they had been
chosen from thirty one try outs.

In the opinion of the officers of
Blackfriars the try-outs were unus-
ually good—so much so that several
of the girls who were not elected to
membership this time were asked to
try again.

Blackfriars welcomes its new mem-
bers and is confident that they will
do splendid work in the future, The
lucky girls themselves are waiting
eagerly to enter actively into the
club; but they are looking forward to
something else in the near future—-
initiation. We will hear more of
that.

Those whose try-outs were accept-
ed are: Georgia Mae Burns, Mary
Cunningham, Frances Hargiss, Ma-
rion Henry, Martha Johnston, Janet
MacDonald, Carolyn McKinney, Mar-
garet Neel, Mary. ‘Riviere, - Sarsh
White, Christine Wolfte.

Faculty Entertain

Miss Smith and Miss Laney were
joint hostesses at a lovely tea given
Tuesday afternoon from four-thirty to
six o’clock at the Alumnae House in
honor of Miss Torrance. The honoree
has recently returned from a two
years’ leave of absence spent in grad-
uate work at the University of Chi-
cago, where she held a fellowship in
Latin. The reception rooms were
attractively decorated in goldenrod
and susans, earrying out the color
scheme of yellow and white. The
guests included the faculty members
and friends of the honoree from At-
lanta and Decatur.

In compliment to Mrs. R. T. Gil-
lespie and Mrs. J. F. Preston was the
reception at which Mrs. R. B. Cun-
ningham entertained Thursday after-
noon from four to six, at her home
on South Candler street. Receiving
with Mrs. Cunningham and the honor
guests were Mrs. McCain and Mrs.
Sydenstricker. A profusion of golden
rod and cut flowers were used in
decorating the rooms where the
guests were assembled. Mrs. Mce-
Geachy, Mrs. Rivers, Miss Alice Riv-
ers and Miss Florine Brown assisted
Mrs. Cunningham in entertaining.

Mrs. John M. Good was also charm-
ing hostess at a tea given at her
home last Monday afternoon, from
four to six. The guests included espe-
cially members of the Agnes Scott
faculty.

SCHEDULES MUST BE
HANDED IN.

It is quite necessary that Miss Hop
kins have a complete schedule of
every student filed in her office in
order that she may be able to locate
any girl at any time. This schedule
must therefore include gym, labora-
tory, and all set engagements. If
you have not yet handed in the de-
sired information, kindly do so at
once.

Memorial Service

Held in Chapel

Silently and suddenly the hand of
death made its presence felt among
us last Tuesday and bore away one
of Agnes Scott’s fairest daughters.
On Tuesday afternoon of last week,
Hermione Jandon, after a morning of
regular work, lay down on her bed
for a few minutes’ rest, and fell into
that sleep from which one awakens
only to hear the Master’s voice, “I am
the resurrection and the life.” As an
expression of their sorrow and sym-
pathy, the student body held a me-
morial service at the chapel period
on Wednesday morning. The service
was conducted by Virginia Browning,
president of Student Government, and
Virginia Peeler, president of Y. W.
C. A. Both presidents read appropri-
ate selections from the Scriptures,
and quoted beautiful and inspiring
poems. Elsa Jacobsen, secretary of
the Y. W. C. A., led in prayer, and
Mrs. S. G. Stukes gave a beautiful
vocal solo.

Though the services were marked
by utmost simplicity, they were ex-
pressive of the deepest and sincerest
feelings of the student body over the
loss of one of its members. The en-
tire college community extends its
sympathy to the bereaved father and
mother.

PI ALPHA PHI TAKES IN
NEW MEMBERS

Near the erest of the wave of try-
outs now surginy over the College,
stood Pi Alpha Phi, on Thursday
evening, October }. At that time many
aspirants to the debating society
sought to prove their merit as well
as their points, in brief debates de-
livered on campus problems.

The following girls, measuring up
to the standard of Phi Alpha, are
welcomed by that club, and congrat-
ulated by the college at large:

Edythe Carpenter, Frances Cooper,
Rachel Henderlite, Rowena Runnette,
Edith Strickland.

Pi Alpha Phi has great prospects
for this year, both in local and in tri-
angular debates, since it has much
good material. The first debate of
the year will be held this Thursday
evening in Propylean Hall.

THE SENIORS HAVE A
CABARET.

‘New York is not the only place
where one can enjoy the pleasures
of gay night life. Anyone in search
of the above named pleasure could
have found it at the Senior Cabaret
in the new gym tast Saturday night.

Small tables formed a circle around
a cleared space used for dancing. A
jazz orchestra furnished excellent
peppy music. Sandwiches, cakes, and
drinks were serve? between dances by
fifteen Senior waitresses,

As Stunis, thefe were three main
attractions. The “Charleston” was
danced by Friskie Cooper. Middie
Mororw, Gene Dozier, Virginia Peeler,
and Eloise Harris gave a lively group
dance. Mary Riviere sang _ the
“Habevera” from Carmen, and “O
Sole Mio,” in Spanish costume of gold
embroidered black lace, over gold
satin. She carried a peacock fan and
wore the conventional high Spanish
comb and ear-rings. Her accompanist
was Mrs. Ruby Slaton, a noted con-
cert pianist of Atlanta.

The cabaret was not only a huge
social success, but also a financial one
as reported by the Seniors.

EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF
DECATUR HONORS
GIRLS.

The Episcopalians of the college
community were entertained Tuesday
afternoon at the home of Mrs. Crown.
on McDonough Street, when the ladies
of the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church
of Decatur were hostesses at a wiener
roast. Quite a number of the Agnes
Seott girls and faculty were escorted
to Mrs. Crown’s by the Episcopal day
students of Decatur. Several of the
ladies of the Guild met and welcomed
the new girls and introduced Mr.
Holding, the new rector of the church,
who was also present.

The afternoon was a success, for
every one came away quite full of
wieners and memories of a delightful
entertainment.

MRS. RANKIN AND
CHILDREN BACK

Agnes Scott in delighted to wel-
come back on its campus Mrs. H. H.
Rankin and her two children, Billy
and Eleanor. Mrs. Rankin and chil-
dren have, as usual, been spending the
summer in her home town, Thomas-
ville, N. C. We rather imagine that
East Lawn Cottle will be a different
place from now on, perhaps a little
noisier. We have already noticed a
large sand pile in the front yard,
when Mrs. Rankin, we _ suppose,
teacher Bill to trace V’s and isosceles
triangles.

Hoase announcements are doubtless
among the most thrilling made dur-
ing the college year. Agnes Scott
girls will never fail to have little
pains of joy and exultation whenever
they hear the solemn strains of “An-
cient of Day,’ and see the black-
gowned procession move slowly up
the chapel aisle. Tuesday morning,
October 6th, an academic procession,
headed by Dr. MeCain and Miss Hop-
kins and composed of the alumnae
members of Hoase now on the cam-
pus and the now active Senior mem-
bers, marched into the chapel for the
purpose of announcing the Senior
members of Hoase who have recently
been chosen. Dr. McCain turned the

exercises over to Hoase, and then
Louise Buchanan, ex-president of
Hoase, ’25, made a most inspiring

talk on what the order stands for.
Hoase represents pre-eminently serv-
ice—the highest type of willing, loy-
ing service to Alma Mater. After a
tense moment of hesitation, Louis#
announced the four new members as
follows:

Leone Bowers

Eloise Harris

Helena Hermance

Florence Perkins.

The seven new members of Hoasc
who were chosen from the class of
26 last spring are: Virginia Brown-
ing, Louisa Duls, Ellen Fain, Cath-
erine Graeber, Virginia Peeler, Sarah
Slaughter, Margaret Tufts.

Letter From Member
of Faculty in Italy

Miss Hopkins has received a letter
from Miss Gaylord, who is now in
Florence, Italy. The letter is of great
interest to her friends, who miss her
very much, although they are glad for
her to have this wonderful opportun-
ity fo study abroad.

As most of us know, Miss Gaylord
was awarded the Eleanore Duse fel-
lowship by the Italian-American So-
ciety as a special honor and will spend
this scholastic year at the University
of Rome.

The fellowship is awarded annually
by the society “to one of either sex
desiring to do post-graduate work in
an Italian university in the fields of
literature, philosophy, mathematics,
history, or the social sciences.” Miss
Gaylord was recommended by the
University of Chicago and was chosen
from an unusually large number of
applicants.

Her letter told of her sailing for
Paris on July 22nd, her stay of sev-
eral weeks in Paris, then of her trip
through Switzerland to Cogne, Italy,
and other cities, finally coming to
Florence on September Ist. Here she
will stay until the scholastic year
opens at the University of Rome,
which will be on October 16th. She is
studying Italian daily, lives with an
Italian family who speaks nothing but
Italian, takes her meals with a charm-
ing Italian lady who speaks only Ital-
ian, and so is preparing thus to pur-
sue her studies at the university.

But in all of this excitement of liv-
ing abroad, studying hard and getting
settled, she is very eager for news of
Agnes Scott, because she feels that
this is really her own school. She
Was especially anxious to hear of the
new gym and to find out the plans for
this year’s work.

Her address is care of the Amer-
ican Express, Florence, Italy, for the
benefit of those of us who would like
to drop her a ntoe of Agnes Scott
affairs, since she is so eager to keep
in touch with us all.

What Will You Do
After College?

Freshman (bewildered): “But I’ve
just ceme! I can’t worry about that
yet. Anyhow, a college graduate can
do anything—my family said so.”

Sophomore (busy): “I’m too busy
to make plans now; there’s loads of
time. Still—I do choose my major
this year. Wish somebody would
help me decide that.”

Junior (thoughtful): “Something
interesting and different. I wish I
knew what college women were doing;
what vocation I am fitted for, and
what the openings are. I’d like to de-
cide, and use these last two years
getting ready for something definite.”

Senior (worried): “I just don’t
“know.”

“Get your vocational information
early and avoid the waste” would be
a good slogan for most college stu-
dents. Don’t put it off, or worry, but
take some definite “next steps.” Find
out what agencies there are for help-
ing girls take stock of their abilities,
and for giving vocational information,
One such organization is the South-
ern Woman’s Educational Alliance.

About ten years ago the Southern
Woman's Edueational Alliance was
organized in the South with the pur-
pose of helping girls in an intimate,
friendly way to solve their edueation-
al and vocational problems. Dr. O.
Latham Hatcher is president of the
Alliance, which has its headquarters
in Richmond, Virginia. The South-
eastern office of the Alliance, under
the direction of a trained counselor,
is in ‘Room 506, Chamber of Com-
merce building, Atlanta, Ga.

During these ten years, the Alliance
has taken a special interest in the
college girl and her problems of fit-
ting herself happily later into the
world of work. Vocational surveys to
find out the chief vocational interests
of college girls have been made in a
number of southern colleges; speak-
ers have been sent to colleges to talk
to the student body about special oc-
cupations, how to choose wisely, etc.,
and to hold individual conferences
with girls; lists of books and period-
igals on vocational subjects have been
furnished to college libraries, and va-
rious other forms of help have been
given.

This last year a “Find Yourself
Course for College Students” was pre-
pared for the Alliance by Dr. Iva L.
Peters, Professor of Economics and
Head of the Vocational Guidance De-
partment at Goucher College.
Goucher, under the direction of Dr.
Peters, has probably achieved the
most outstanding success of any col-
lege in America in helping its stu-
dents to enter the right occupations
and sueceed in them, This course is
planned to give the college girl facts
about positions and the training re-
quired for them, and to help her, too,
in finding her way through this com-
plex modern life of ours. It is not

expected that it can be given in full
in more than six colleges this year
but other colleges may prepare to
have it given next year.

The counselor of the Atlanta office
hopes that the girls of Agnes Scott
will use the service of the Alliance
whenever they may require it. She
will be glad at any time to give in-
formation or advise about occupa-
tions, or to help a girl in self-exami-
nation so that she may know what
work she is best fitted to do in the
world, Also many other forms of help
in the way of information and coun-
sel for individual girls are available
upon request.

Mrs. Samuel M. Inman is president
of the Atlanta Branch of the Alliance,
and Dr, J. R. McCain, president of
Agnes Scott College, is chairman of
the Education Committee of the At-
lanta Branch.

CHURCH AFFILIATIONS

If there is any one period in her
life after “the formative iyears of
childhood, when a girl needs the
church, it is certainly during the four
years of her college career, when,
suddenly deprived of the accustomed
moral support of family and loyed
ones, she is left to stand alone, and
to answer in terms of her every-day
life the eternal question to youth,
“Quo vadis.”

College years are a period of re-
adjustment, along the lines of relig-
ious views and of practical conduct.
It is inevitable that, while she is
changing from immature conceptions
of religion, based chiefly on environ-
ment influences to maturer ideas,
based on experience, a girl should
pass through a period of doubt and
often cynicism. This period, as a
rule, comes during the earlier years
of college life as one begins to won-
der why she has always attended
church and whether it would not be
more comfortable, perhaps even more
religious, to stay in bed and rest on
as many Sunday mornings as possible
after the hardships of the week. She
is brought face to face with girls
whose early religious training has
been practically the opposite of her
own and whose ideas are correspond-
ingly different; and she must answer
for herself. Why do I belong to this
particular denomination? Is study
or card playing ever permissible on
Sunday? Must I believe in evolu-
tion ?

Equally as pressing as is the ques-
tion of religious views is that of prac-
tical conduct. Does the freshman in
college see the various phases of stu-
dent life in the same proportions in
which she saw them in high school
days? If she were primarily inter-

is supposed to hook around the
drowned. It is a very large hoop.
The department appears to be uneasy
about Helen Clark Martin and Helen
Lewis.

The Freshmen are beginning to look
intelligent. Kitty Martin wants to
know what kind of brand “Junior
Chocolates” is; and Eleanore Maule is
anxious to be invited to occupy her
chair at Hoase, but they are learning.

Giddy, the mosquitoes! I don’t
know enough English to tell you
about them. I’m a lady. But I do
know that Judith Wilson, who sleeps

ested in scholarship then, must she
be now? Which is more important,
studies outside activities, or the so-
cial side, in its best sense of college?
These problems and similar ones the
college student must face; and it is
only the guiding hand of the Master,
that she can solve them satisfactorily,
and the Master is found most readily
in His Church,

There is another need in the life
of college students which the chureh
fully supplies. To the church pre-
eminently belongs the functions of
comfort and of encouragement. We
do not mean to imply that, in our
opinion, college is a place of trials
and tribulations. No, not that, but,
there are, and we hope there always
will be, petty failures and disappoint-
ments, which will mean almost noth-
ing ten years hence, but which loom
up large now. If there were no en-
couragement under such conditions,
one might laugh them off and be in-
different, or weep them off and be
bitter, according to her nature. But
from the church comes the supreme
messages of comfort and of hope.
“Come unto me all ye that labor and
are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest.” Be of good courage, and He
shall strengthen your heart, all ye
that hope in the Lord.

Moreover, we are afflicted with
Try-outs—both Blackfriars and I A ®.
Half of our friends corner us and
shout at us, “Madam Chairman, La-
dies and Gentlemen,’ and so on ad
infinitum. The other half go around
the campus making extraordinary
gestures and mumbling certain lines
from “The Rivals.” It is very insane
to look upon.

of priceless value to a college stu-
dent. It is the church that keeps her
in touch with religious movements of
the day, holds her interest in chureh
activities, instructs her and prepares
her to be a leader in her parish when
she shall take her place in the world
of affairs.

Your smitten
AGGIE,

Dear Giddie:

All the novelty of school has worn
off, and, with monthly tests coming
on, it is getting to be a rather tire-
some routine for those of us who
don't get a special every day like
Louise Robertson or a ’phone call ev-
ery night like Grace Carr, or aren’t
rushed with dates like Dora. The ©
one little Freshie that I know in At-
lanta says he is afraid to come out —
here because the last time he came
all the girls had measles. I can’t ©
convince him that it was only mos-
quito bites.

But if a eollege student would have
the church to guide, comfort and
train her, she must give it a fair
chance, The much too prevalent hab-
it of attending now one church, now
another, in a harum-scarum fashion,
more because one’s friends are going
there, or because one likes the choir,
or wishes to see the unique service,
than because she can worship God
best there, is most undesirable. It is
quite all right to go to one ¢hurch
now and then in order to hear a spe-
cial minister, or to another in order
to be with one’s friends; but, unless
the college girl affiliates with the
church of hey preference, and goes
there at least the majority of times,
she can not expect to reap the full
benefits which the church has to of-
fer.

Life for the past week has been
one try-out after another. “K. U. B.,”
“Cotillion,” “Blackfriars,” “Phi Alpha ©
Phi,” and the Agonistie have all let it
be known that they can not use me,
But we can’t all be as graceful as
Gene Dozier or as talented as Mary
Ellis.

Nor (fortunately for the teachers)
are we all as absent-minded as
Clarkie, who, they say, went to town
wearing a rubber apron and armed
with the key to her laboratory desk.
But maybe she meant to try and open
the tea room with the key—for I hear
she occasionally gets shut out.

Giddie, Sara Johnston, who is bet-
ter known (at least to the old girls)
as Ruth’s little sister, is the most
charitable girl on the campus. She
says she did not fall for any of the
sophomore tricks, but now that there
is a perfectly worthy cause she is
willing to contribute to the fund for
the widow and orphans of the Un-
known Soldier.

Giddie Gossip

Dearest Giddy:

You just ought to see us strut in
the new gym. It would make you
giddier yet with delight. True Miss
Dexter doesn't find the dancing de-
lightful. She says we merely stand
stlil and wiggle. But then the mer-
cury is too high for swift locomotion,
and besides we have to watch for
fresh paint. They paint new courts
on that floor every day of the week.
As for the pool, we are all about to
burst with pride. From the library
the swimmers, at 8:30 every night,
sound like a Roman mob. Everybody
goes and splashes and shrieks,

My brain is getting to be like Miss
Howson’s experiments, Giddie; it
won’t work! So I guess I will have
to put forth extra effort on that

physies quizz, and I had better be-
gin.

But the crowning glory is the pole
wherewith the drowning are to be
hauled out. It is a beautiful bronze
and black bamboo stick with a muti-
lated barrel hoop at one end which

Is the controversy concerning the
Agnes Scott rings to be settled, or
not?

I speak for a large part of the
college community, including myself.
Here are five reasons why we should
keep the old rings.

The first is because our ring has
grown to mean the Agnes. Scott spirit
to those who truly love our Alma
Mater. In 1915, the
brought up the idea of having a stand-
ardized ring, and this idea was voted

Senior class

on by the Seniors, entire school, and
the Alumnae, and was accepted. It has
are. It would be an unwise step to
change this ring now merely for a
passing fad. Let the girl who wants
an onyx ring go buy one for herself.

Secondly, this IS only a fad and a
very expensive one at that. The in-
crease in price will make the ring cost
ten dollars, and it is a recognized
fact that seventy-five per cent of the
girls at Agnes Scott have financial aid
Besides,
a fad is not a permanent institution,

from some source or other.

and the new ring will not be able to
replace the old one for that reason.
We do not want a frat pin or sorority
ring; we want a ring that in its ele-
gant simplicity will embody the Agnes
Seott spirit as does the old ring.

Third, a change now will establish
a precedent by which every class for
the next few years will be dissatisfied
and want to change the ring for its
own class, thereby making the ring a
class ring and not an Agnes Scott
college ring. The orizinal purpose of
the ring was to fulfil the need for a
school ring and not an individual one,

Fourth, it would be a distinct dis-
eourtesy to contemplate a change
without consulting the Alumnae, for

vacancies in the Children’s Bureau of
the Department of Labor, at an en-
trance salary of $2,400 a year. After
the probationary period of six months
required by the civil service act and
rules, advancement in pay may be
made without change in assignment
up to $3,000 a year.
higher grades may be made in accord-

Promotion ‘to

ance with the civil service rules.

There is also a vacancy in the posi-
tion of assistant economic analyst
(psychologist) in the Children’s Bu-
reau, New Haven, Conn., which will be
filled from this examination. The en-
trance salary for this position at New

Haven is 95 cents an hour.

The duties, under general super-
vision, are to study the development
and behavior of certain groups of pre-
school children, and to write reports
thereon.

Applicants must have been grad-
uated from a college or university of
recognized standing, with the comple-
tion of 118 semester hours of college
work; and have had at least one
year’s graduate work in psychology.
In addition, applicants must have had
at least one year’s experience in scien-
tific studies of the mental develop-
ment and behavior of young children.

Competitors will not be required to
report for examination at any place,
but will be rated on their education
and experience, and a thesis or pub-
lications to be filed with the applica-
tion.

Full information and application
blanks may be obtained from the
United States ‘Civil Service Commis-
sion, Washington, D. C., or the sec-
retary of the board of U. S. civil serv-
ice examiners at the post office or

other example of the disregard the
newer classes have for the Alumnae
and all they have accomplished for
our Alma Mater.

Fifth, and last, the old ring typifies
the Agnes Scott spirit and it would be
a monumental mistake for the class
of 1926 to make a change of this
kind. Think of what the classes be-
fore, and following, will say: “Yes, it
was the class of 1926 who changed
the old Agnes Scott ring for that new
onyx-trimmed one!” When a class is
remembered for a particular reason,
it is a fact peculiar to human na-
ture that it is the uncomplimentary

one that is only a passing fad;

Second, that the extra increase in
expense is inadvisable on account of
the number of girls who must receive
financial aid;

Third, that a precedent will be es-
tablished whereby following classes
will desire a change in rings, thereby
changing the college ring to an indi-
vidual class ring;

Fourth, that it would be a distinct
discourtesy to the Alumnae who have
helped Agnes Scott so much to change
the ring in face of their opposite
wishes; and,

Fifth, that since the old ring typi-
fies the established Agnes Scott
spirit, it would be a mistake monu-
mental to the present Senior class to
change the old ring for a new one.

I thank you.

At Large

By Joseph Robinson
You and I and the hills!
Do you think we could live for a day,
With the cherished cares away?
Rebels of progress and our clay—
Do you think we could live for a day?

You and J and the dawn,

With the great light breaking
through,

And the woods astir with a wakened
faun,

And our hearts awakened, too;

With the bud in the hollow, the bird
on the spray,

Do you think we could live for a day?

You and I and the dusk,

With the first stars in the glow,

And the faith that our ills are but the
husk

With the kernel of life below;

With the joy of the hills and the
throb of May,

Do you think we could live for a day?
* * * *

are too much given to passing ou
dawns in the Town of Stupidity, and
our companions are Mr. Worldly
Wiseman, and Mr. Despondency, and
Mr. Want-Wit, still serubbing his
Ethiopian, and Mr. Feeble-Mind, and
the deplorable young woman named
Dull. We do this when there is an in-
teresting world just beyond the Town
of Stupidity. With the author of “The
Flower of Gloster,’ I have ever be-
lieved that the world is a place te
wander in. An open door, they say,
will tempt a saint. If the temptation
be to wander forth into a wide and
wonderful world, wherever man, if he
have the heart for it, may be his own
discoverer, then I can well believe the

truth of all they say.
* * 1 *

The gypsy heart that is eager for
the quest and for what lies over the
hills and far away has always been
strong in the poets. Some of the best
of the modern poetry has sung of this
stringing desire to know what lies be-
yond the purple horizon. One of our
American poets, Vachel Lindsey, has
written some of his best poems while
following these gypsy trails of the
spirit. Josephine Praxton Peabody
gives sage advice to the stay-at home:

“Out of your cage,
Come out of your cage,
And take your soul on a pilgrimage;
Peas in your shoes, and if you must!
But out and away before you're dust!
Seribe and Stay-at Home,
Out of your cage,
Out of your cage!”

the conflict between love of home and
of travel:

“The little Road says, Go;
The little House says, Stay;
And O, it’s bonny here at home,
But I must go away.

“The little Road, like me,

Would seek and turn and know;
And forth I must, to learn the things
The little Road would show!

“And go I must, my dears,
And journey while I may,
Though heart be sore for the little
House,
That had no word but stay.”
* * * *

Sometimes, as in Richard Hovey’s
Sea Gypsy, this wilding spirit of ad-
venture expresses itself to go to sea:

“T am fevered with the sunset,
I am fretful with the bay,

For the wander-thirst is on me
And my soul is in Cathay.

As Agnes Repplier says, we adults | “‘There’s a schooner in the offing,

With her topsails shot with fire,
And my heart has gone aboard her
For the islands of Desire.

“T must forth again to-morrow!
With the sunset I must be

Hull down on the trail of rapture
In the order of the sea.”

x * * *

Edna St. Vincent Millay finds the
way to the “Sunset Lands of Heart’s
desire,’ not on ships but on swiftly
moving trains:

“The railroad track is miles away,
And the day is loud with voices
speaking,
Yet there isn’t a train goes by all
day
But I hear its whistle shrieking.

“All night there isn’t a train goes by,
Though the night is still for sleep
and dreaming,
But I see its cinders red on the sky,
And hear its engine steaming.

“My heart is warm with the friends I

make,
And better friends I'll not be
knowing?
Yet there isn't a train I wouldn’t
take,

No matter where it’s going.”
**- & &

The same poet would test the qual-
ity of distant places to find out
whether they are superior to the
home land:

“How shall I know, unless I go
To Cairo and Cathay,
Whether this blessed spot
Is blest every way.

“Now it may be, the flower for me
Is this beneath my nose;
How shall I tell, unless I smell
The Carthaginian rose?”

Jean Kenyon Mackenzie enjoys the
pleasure of travel by traveling on a

“I never see a map but I'm away

On all the errands that I long to do;

Up all the rivers that are painted
blue,

And all the ranges that are painted
gray,

And into those pale spaces where
they say:

Unknown. Oh, what they never knew

I would be knowing.”

* * * *
Emily Dickinson has no need of
map or chart, for poetic imagination |
supplies these: |

“T never saw a moor,
I never saw the sea;
Yet I know how the heather looks,
And what a wave must be.
I never spoke with God,
Nor visited in heaven;
Yet certain am I of the spot
As if the spot were given.”
* * *
So strong is the desire of the quest
upon Marion Couthouy Smith that
even in heaven he would be a pilgrim:

“Let me forget entangling things,
And be through boundless orbits

hurled;
I who have beaten helpless wings
In little cages of the world.”

SBOPHOMORES WIN

Hoasc Initiations
and Banquet

After Student Government on Tues-
day night, October 6, the initiation of
the new members of Hoase began—to
the immense enjoyment of the stu-
dent body. The first number on the
program was an exceedingly edifying
lecture by Miss Eloise Harris upon a
subject which has long puzzled wiser
heads than ours. This subject was,
“Where Did Victor Hugo?” Among
other delightful numbers was the
song, “I’m Going Crazy,” by Misses
Harris, Perkins and Bowers, accom-
panied by Miss Hermance on the pi-
ano. The clever playlet performed by
the “tout enscramble” testified to the
histrionice ability of the new members

of Hoasc.

The regular initiation was held Fri-
day night, at which time they were en-
tertained ata banquet in the Alumnae
House. The seven active members,
the four new members and from the
graduate members, Polly Stone, Dick
Scandrett, Margaret Bland, Louise
Ware, Daisy Frances Smith, Isabel
Ferguson and Mrs. §S. G. Stukes, to-
gether with the Faculty admirers, Mr.
Holt, Miss MacDougall and Miss Alex-
ander, and Miss Hopkins and Dr. Mc-
Cain comprised the list of those in-
vited.

Students Urged
to Cooperate in
Fire Prevention

Mr. Cunningham Makes
Talk in Chape:

Mr. Cunningham, the business man-
ager of Agnes Scott, made a short
talk in chapel Saturday morning
about fire protection. He presented
to the students the necessity of their
co-operation in order to protect the
physical property of Agnes Scott and
the members of the college commu-
nity.

Agnes Seott property is insured for
half a million dollars, and the com-
pany underwriting the insurance
makes certain demands which the stu-
dents must respect. For instance, it
is unwise to leave exposed wires near
inflammable articles. In accordance
with instructions, fire extinguishers
are kept in the halls and other public
places, and should be promptly used
in cases of emergency.

Mr. Cunningham, however, empha-
sized the fact that the authorities of
Agnes Scott would prefer that the
entire school be burned te the ground
rather than that anyone should receive
serious injuries. Therefore, the girls
should consider the fire drills as a
serious business. They should attend
them promptly and orderly, and leave
fire-fighting to better trained people.
Margaret Debele, fire chief, urged the
students to help her department by
complying with its regulations. She
introduced the fire captains of the
different buildings:

Rebekah Scott—Betty Little.

Inman—Ethel Redding,

Main—Elise Gay.

White House—Gladys Harbough.

Gaines—‘‘Bee” Keith.

Sturgess—Lucile Seay.

All old students will be particular-
ly interested in hearing a bit of news
from Miss Rothermel, Biology instruc-
tor at Agnes Scott from 1920 to 1928.
Miss Rothermel is at Cornell Univer-
sity this year as assistant in the de-
partment of Histology. Miss Howson,
who recently received a letter from
her, tells us that she is steadily work-
ing toward her Ph.D. degree as well.

Each of her friends will join us in
wishing her all kinds of success in her
work.

Y. W. C. A. Holds

Recognition Service

The Recognition Service of the Y.
W. C. A. Sunday evening was im-
pressive and inspiring. The choir
singing “Father of Lights” to the tune
of “Ancient of Days” led the pro-
cessional, and following it came the
new Agnes Scott girls dressed in
white and marching in a double file.
After a scripture reading by Mau-
rice Bledsoe and a benutiful solo by
Mary Reviere, Virginia Peeler, Presi-
dent of the Y. W. C, A., made an
earnest talk on the significance of
membership in that organization. The
customary ceremony of the freshmen
lighting their candles ‘rom the large
light held by the President symbol-
ized the pledging of each new mem-
ber to uphold the ideals of the Y. W.
C. A. Something of the spirit of
these ideals was expressed in the re-
cessional, “Follow the Gleam.”

Delightful

Entertainment

Misses Harn, Pirkle, Brown,
Stansfield Entertain for
Their Advisees.

On Thursday afternoon at 5:30 a
most unique and enjoyable party was
held in the “Home Ee” kitchen: Miss
Harn, Miss Pirkle, Miss Brown, and
Miss Stansfield were joint hostesses
to their respective advisees—twenty-
two Freshmen. It was one of sever-
al delightful school affairs which have
served to make of Agnes Scott a
pleasant abode and a place of good
fellowship.

The entertainment took the form of
a bacon-bat, picnic style, informal
and consequently the more pleasant,
and suitable for our early-in-the-year
purposes of entertaining. Every one
knows what “picnic style’ means. We
conclude there are times when it
would be well to be a Freshman.

The social hour was well spent in
spicy chatting and in partaking of
the regular bacon-bat lunch—sand-
wiches, bacon and bread, lettuce, ap-
ples, candy, doughnuts, coffee and
tea. The “Home Ee” girls were kind
enough to prepare much of this del-
ectable meal.

Twenty-two Freshmen, highly
pleased with all the world, left at
seven o'clock, voting AYE for the
best time possible, and for a hearty
thanks to their advisors.

FIRST MEETING OF
CLASSICAL CLUB

The Classical Club began its prep-
arations for the year’s work in a very
brief business meeting at noon Thurs-
day, October 8. Cephise Cartwright
presided over the meeting in the ab-
sence of Frances Craighead, who was
elected president last year and did not
return to college this term. Sarah
Shields and Grace Boone gave the re-
port of the Nominating Committee.
The officers for the year were elected
as follows:

Sarah Shields, President.
Clarkie Davis, Vice President.

Cephise Cartwright, Secretary and
Treasurer.

Frances Buchanan was elected
Chairman of the Program Committee,
with Evelyn Albright and Lamar
Lowe associate members.

The meeting was closed with a
short appeal by Miss Smith for the

|of years.

The Class of ’28 Takes
Away Honors With
Presentation of Fresh-
man Kismet.

The Sophomores covered themselves
with glory Saturday evening when
they brought the black cat back into
the possession of the even classes,
with a sweeping victory over the
Freshies, and that despite the fact
that the Freshman stunt was much
better than it has been for a number
Class spirit was high, and
the yells of both blue and whites and
yellow and whites as peppy as possi-
ble, especially when reinforced by a
few male supporters.

Against a background of Oriental
mystery and fate, the Sophomore
Class presented “The Freshman’s Kis-
met.” The curiosity of the audience

| had already been aroused by the clever

programs, and they had discovered,
by consulting the vocabulary on the
back (for the benefit of Turkish 0.
students) that Kismet meant Fate.

ing been invited to a party in honor
of Fatima Freshman, their sister, and
Bluebeard’s consort, danced merrily
on. Fatima welcomes them gracious-
ly and shows them her new home.
Despite the signs of happiness, the
Freshmen Sisters are dubious as to
the good will of El Sophomore. They
question Fatima to discover if he has
been cruel to her. She replies indig-
nantly in the negative, and, as if to
confirm her statement, Bluebeard en-
ters, the spirit, apparently, of hospi-
tality and jovialty. After some en-
tertainment they go off to dinner.

The lights were lowered to denote
the passing of time. Then in the grey
light of morning, Miss -Campbell’s
Persian pussies, Felix and Felicia,
creep on. This is their first night in
their new home and they look around
curiously, nosing into hidden corners
in the time honored custom of cats.
With the coming of dawn, they slip
off.

After a brief interval which denotes
the passing of several hours, Scheme
Two continues this “fateful farce.”
It is the afternoon of El Sophomore’s
day, and already Fatima has felt his

beard comes on, followed by Felix and
Felicia. He demands an account of
how she has spent the morning. This
she tearfully gives. Finding that she
has been unusuallyobedient, he gives
her permission to invite her Sisters to
spend the week-end with her, while he
is in Emory, judging a debate on
“Where Did Victor Hugo?”

While Fatima and Bluebeard are
preparing for the trip the Pussies dis-
cover a hidden door in the room. It
had been cleverly concealed by a piece
of tapestry. The Pussies wisely keep
this secret to themselves and say
nothing to Fatima about it. But Blue-
beard in leaving gives her a key which
she is to guard with her life, and tells
her that it is a major offense to open
the hidden door. After posting these
rules, he leaves.

At once everything is gay in the
palace. The Freshmen Sisters dash
on, accompanied by Fatima’s favorite,
Sister Anne. There is light-hearted
merry-making until, in the flurry of
cleaning up for Miss Miller’s and Miss
Calhoun’s inspection, the key is lost.
Consternation reigns until it is found.
Anne is curious about the secret door
and urges Fatima to open it. The

der the very able instruction of Miss
Nan Stevens. Miss Stevens is well-

The first semester will be devoted
to the writing of one-act plays, while
later the regular three-act plays will
be taken up. The class, which has al-
ready shown itself very much inter-
ested, has as its ideal the perpetuation
of the folk-lore of the South,

This class is coordinate with the
classes in poetry and short-story writ-
ing, and it is to be hoped that these
new ventures in the literary field will
prove a most successful adjunct to the
courses offered at Agnes Scott.

Gymnasium

Dedicated

Dedicated to George Bucher
Scott.

The new Gymnasium Building,
built in memory of the late George
Bucher Scott, a member of the Board
of Trustees for twenty-four years,
was dedicated last Thursday evening.
The guests were shown over the build-
ing by twelve of the Sophomores,
while six Seniors and six Juniors act-
ed as ushers. After all spectators
were seated, there was a sort of pro-
logue, which consisted in an exhibi-
tion of the lighting effects that the
stage in the new building has at its
disposal. This exhibition lasted about
five minutes, and, at the end of that
time, the speakers for the occasion
came upon the stage. They were:
Dr. McCain, Mr. J. K. Orr, president
of the Board of Trustees; Dr. 8S.
Sprole Lyons, Mr. C. Murphy Can-
dler, and Miss Randolph. Dr. McCain
introduced Mr. Orr, who had charge
of the rest of the program as follows:

The new gymnasium building is
said to be one of the finest and most
modern in the United States. It was
planned by Edward and Sager and
was constructed at a cost of approx-
imately two hundred thousand dol-
lars. As Mr. Candler said, it is a fit-
ting tribute to him in whose memory
it was erected. Bucher Scott, a man
of integrity and uprightness, is one
of the greatest benefactors the col-
lege has ever had.

CLASS SPIRIT.

Perhaps the best feature of the Sophomore-Freshman stunts
is the fact that they promote class loyalty. They necessitate class

organization and meetings; and, moreover, when one has practiced
yelling until she is hoarse three nights on a stretch for the glory
of her class, she cannot be absolutely devoid of that something
called “class spirit.”

But*the Sophomore-Freshman stunt night is practically the
spirit we have never lacked, but in class loyalty we are deploringly
only time during the year when class spirit runs high. College
wanting. Can it be that girls do not sufficiently appreciate the
value of loyalty to their classes? Class loyalty is but a phase of
college loyalty; and girls who are workers in their classes are not
likely to be found déficient in Agnes Scott spirit. Besides, to be
a member of a well organized class is, from a personal standpoint,
much more pleasant than to be a member of a divided or indiffer-
ent class. The more one works with her classmates and plays
with them, the more she feels herself a part of her class, and the
more she forms friendships with those of her own mental devel-
opment, shall we say? Especially in one’s Senior year is it de-
lightful to know well every member of that class with which
we have ‘laughed and sighed for four years, and among whose
members, some of one’s fondest memories will be entwined.

Custom at Agnes Scott gives adequate opportunity for the de-
development of class loyalty. The Freshmen and Sophomores give
stunts, the Freshmen entertain the college with a party, the
Sophomores and Juniors make money for giving the Seniors fare-
well entertainments, and the Seniors have faculty take-off, a
Hallowe’en party, Senior opera, Senior coffee, and numerous meet-
ings. Inter-class athletics likewise give opportunity for the vent-
ing of class spirit. It is not that Agnes Scott’s yearly program
fails to provide the means for developing class spirit, but rather
that the students have not yet learned to appreciate the value of
being loyal to their classes.

JUNIOR CLASS ENDS A TRADITION.

The Junior class wishes to announce the abolition of an old

custom at Agnes Scott, that of Seniors having Sophomore sisters,
chosen in the Junior year of the Seniors. Members of the class feel
that the Sophomore sister institution has served its purpose well
as a social motive on our campus. But now that the Greater Agnes
Scott is on its way, and the Freshman class has doubled in size,
the Juniors feel that the tradition should go, and give place to a
new order of things. It was only after serious consideration that
the class took the step, and it hopes that the college community
will appreciate its point of view.

that this question be studied—the
Find-Yourself Course is an answer to
the demand.

A FIND-YOURSELF
COURSE

WHAT YOU NEED
A course that helps you plan your
vocation—a course that helps you re-
late your other courses—that’s what
students are looking for. Certainly,
then, the Find-Yourself Course will
have your attention. This course is

It will interest the faculty because
it presents both cultural and pre-pro-
fessional values of the curriculum,
and is an inter-departmental course,
calling for the active participation of
faculty-members. Alumnae who see
with increasing perspective the prof-

lems. The year 1925 demands a great
deal of college students and of the
colleges. What is the economic value
of the college graduate? What are
the values of a “cultural education?”
Why does the college girl find it dif-
ficult to fit into her home town? What
are the vocations open to women?
What does the world want of the col-
lege women, anyhow? These are
some of the questions that the Find-
Yourself Course sets itself to study.

The course was worked out by Dr.
Iva L. Peters, an authority in stu-
dent personnel. Dr. Peters is direc-
tor of the Vocational Guidance Bu-
reau of Goucher College, and her suc-
eessful work there has won her not
only the whole-hearted support and
gratitude of Goucher students, but na-
tional recognition as well. The Find-
Yourself Course reflects the experi-
ence and research and knowledge that
are found in Goucher’s vocational
guidance system.

In 1925-26 the Southern Woman’s
Educational Alliance will provide the
course for six Southern colleges.
Duke University being one, will sup-
ply the Director, and work jointly
with the colleges to insure the suc-
cess of the course.

Day Student News

Street car service may be bad—in
fact, it decidedly IS bad at present—
but day students are not minding.
Who would, when there is such a sat-
isfying substitute for the usual trol-
ley as Ben Hur’s chariot? At least
five day students give a rising vote
of thanks to this shining conveyance
for its noble efforts in making prog-
ress toward Atlanta the other day.
More details? We refrain, for if all
the story were known, Ben Hur’s
chariot would be as crowded as the
usual street car. In fzirness to the
street car company, we are silent.

On another aspect of day student
life, however, we would proclaim long
and loud, though here, too, all the de-
tails cannot be given. Swifice it to
say that the day students ar looking
forward to and counting Saturday
night, December 5, as their very own.
Do you remember “The String “Em
Girl” of last year—the er-musical
play produced by the day students for
their cottage fund? Well, plans
haven't been absolutely completed, but
we are expecting to give a similar
“production” on the date mentioned
above. Enthusiasm for a cottage of
our own urges us on. Ye boarders!
All you have to do is come, and bring
others with you. We'll do the rest.
Ye Freshmen! be present by all means
at this spectacle, the like of which
ye’ve never seen before. Once more—
don’t forget it! The college commu-
nity as a whole is asked to make a
date with the day students for Satur-
day night, December 5, at half-past
eight.

FLORENCE EASTON GIVES
RECITAL IN ATLANTA

Music lovers in our college com-
munity are delighted with the oppor-
tunity of hearing Miss Florence Eas-
ton, prima donna soprano of the Met-

pany. Born in England, she has had
a musical eareer in England, in Amer-
ica, and on the Continent; having
made her debut in Covent Garden,
London, and having later belonged to
the Savage Grand Opera Co., the Ber-
lin Opera, the Chicago Opera Co., and
the Metropolitan. Among her latest
leading parts at the opera in New
York are the title roles of “Carmen,”
“Madame Butterfly,” and “Fedora,”
Isolde in “Fristan and Isolde,” Brunn-
hilde in “Siegfried,” Madeleine in
“Andre Chevier,’ Eva in “Die Meis-
tersinger,” and Marguerite in
“Faust.” Her brilliant achievements
in these parts have added so much to
her artistic status that now Florence
Easton is often referred to as “one
of the best voices at the Metropolitan
today.”

Among the press notices of her
are:

W. J. Henderson, New York Sun:
“Easton sang beautifully. Here is an
Isolde. of womanly warmth and ten-
derness, alluring and melting.”

Chicago Tribune: “Her recital clas-
sifies as an event.”

Philadelphia North American: “Eas-
ton’s voice, always rich, clear, exquis-
itely beautiful, seemed last night to
approximate acme of perfection.”

Intercollegiate News

The exchange department of the
Agonistic wishes to welcome back all
our old friends of the past years and
to make new friends as well. We ap-
preciate your co-operation of former
years and we hope that it will be given
again this year. We acknowledge
among our first exchanges of the year
“The Salemite”’ of Winston-Salem
College, Winston-Salem, N. C.; “The
Bull-Dog”’ of The Citadel, Charleston,
S. C.; “The Hornet” of Furman Uni-
versity, Greenville, S. C.; “The Guil-
fordian” of Guilford College, Guilford,
N, C., and “The Watchtower” of Wes-
levyan College, Macon, Ga.

Winston-Salem College has a most
interesting History Club. They are
very fortunate in securing well trav-
eled men to speak to them thus mak-
ing History more of a reality than
something that-is dead and buried.

Their enrollment mark exceeds 550
and last year only 500 were registered
at the college.

Giddie Gossip

Dearest Giddy:

Maybe when you woke up in the
morning and smelt the radiator paint
burning and heard the heat coming
on with a crash like “Child Labor’s”
dropping a tray full of dishes, you
thought fall had come. But Miss
Campbell is still carrying her sum-
mer handbag and Miss Skeen’s long
white sweater yet reposes among the
moth balls—so summer is with us
still.

My dear there has not been a spark
of romance on the campus (at least
among the faculty) since last spring,
but it looks a little now as though
business might pick up again. Miss
Eagleson tried out some of Freud’s
theories and found that her mind had
a trend toward a man, and some one
else’s mind had a trend toward a
“chicken.” Does that register on your
romantically inclined young mind,
Giddie ?

I guess you have heard, Giddie, how
smart Juanita Greer is. Miss Howson
asked her the other day why one
should leave a moving car in the same
direction it was going, and she said
“so "you won’t have to turn it around
when you start again’—which I
thought was a very good answer—but
Miss Howson did not seem to appre-
ciate it. But maybe she was just feel-
ing sort of crabby that day—(if you
can imagine Miss Howson being
“crabby”’)—for it was the same morn-
ing that she made the remark about |
feet being large.

Oh, and I must try to give you a
taste (or rather whole bite) of New
York Night Life. You see the Seniors
staged an honest-to-gosh, died-in-the-
wool cabaret Saturday night. The
new gym, decorated in red and white,
with flower girls adding atmosphere,
looked like the place where the movie
hero goes to forget. Lillian Clement
and Nan Lingle took orders—(and
tips) like professionals—and show me
a Winter Garden dancer who ¢an ri-
val Frisky and Gene, either for cos-
tume or for talent.

Speaking of the new gym, we had
chapel there for the first time Thurs-
day morning. All the students were
thrilled to death, but I don’t think
the faculty liked it much, because they
had to sit in the “peanut.”

I must go and do my Latin prose
now. If you flunk don’t think it will
be a cinch next year—it gets harder
every time I repeat it! But first I
must give you some advice; if you
need a drag with Mr. Holt, don’t sit
near the door at his lectures, he will
think you are poised for flight—even
when you aren’t!

The Hike.
“These Indian summer morns
Are the best there are,
So come out and hike with us

To places near and far!”

{
Last Friday morning, a few minutes

after dozens of Big Bens had been
cruelly maltreated, a straggling crowd
of
turned their steps from the beloved

somewhat sleepy-headed hikers

portals of dear Aggie, and in the cold
gray dawn began the first hike of the
year. Soon, however, every one was
in a gay humor and pep simply vi-
brated from our very toes. All of us
felt as virtuous as Pilgrim did on
his journey to the City Beautiful even
if “that school girl complexion” was
almost all that was inspiring us.
When we reached the bridge out on
the Emory road, we rested for about
as long as it takes Georgia Fields to
do a back-flip, and then we double-
timed back home to the tune of grits
and bacon.

These hikes, besides being a mar-
velous pleasure, are yery worthwhile
if you have an envious longing for a
class numeral or even a great big
Agnes Scott letter. Five organized
and two individual hikes a year en-
titles you to a numeral. Multiply this
by four and when you become a Senior
look what you have! An’ original A.
S. C.! Join us girls, the fun is glor-
ious!

Basketball Managers Elected

This fall promises us as successful
a basketball season as ever if capable
managers mean anything. The classes
held elections for that position last
week and the following girls were
chosen:

Sophomores, Miriam Anderson.
Freshmen, Georgia Fields.

PI ALPHA PHI
HAS DEBATE

Pi Alpha Phi held its regular meet-
ing Thursday evening in Mnosmy-
nean Hall. On account of the dedica-
tion of the new gymnasium building,
which took place that evening, the
Pi Alpha Phi initiations had to be
postponed until another time, and
simply the debate of the evening held.
The subject was, “Resolved, That
extra-territorial rights in China
should be abolished.” Misses Carolyn
Essig, Elizabeth Henderson and Eliz-
abeth Chapman supported the affirm-
ative, and Misses Louise Harrison,
Roberta Winter and Mary Riviere, the
negative. Decision was rendered in
favor of the negative. After a criti-
cism of the debate, the meeting ad-
journed.

AGONT STIG

Seniors Decide

On Old Rings

Alteration Made in Dress
for Photograph.

In a recent meeting of the Senior
class, the old ring was chosen in ‘pref-
erence to a suggested new one.
the seventy-one votes, forty were for
the old ring and thirty-one for the
new, the former winning by several
votes over a majority. The ring which
has graced the finger of Agnes Scott
graduates for many years past is of
yellow gold and bears the A. S. C.
seal.

A much desired change in the dress
for the photographs in the annual was
effected in the meeting,—that of the
abandonment of the stocks. These lace
chokers have adorned the suffering
necks of untold graduates of the past
and probably would have continued to
do so had not the discontinuance of
its use been suggested to Miss Hop-
kins, who gave her hearty approval.
The change is welcomed not only by
the Seniors, but also by the “rising
generations” of Agnes Scott, who hope
some day to wear the academic robes.
No further change was made in the
costume for the photographs.

“Etiquettically
Speaking”

In her correspondence with Ashby
School, Mrs. Worldly had informed
the President, Mr. Goodly, that she
wished to make a large endowment on
some college that she considered most
worthy. She had added that the only
provision was that she might choose
the college by being permitted to visit
unheralded, and be treated as a friend.

The day that Mrs. Worldly arrived
was the beginning of a hectic week at
Ashby School. Never had there been
as many tests, nor class meetings, nor
try-outs; nor anything that so pre-
occupied the minds of the students
that manners were a second consider-
ation. It seemed that Mrs. Worldly
was to be the only calm person in this
wihrlwind of events, for even the fac-
ulty was rushed.

If only the fates had decreed that
Mrs. Worldly should arrive at any
other part of the day than at lunch
time! No extra preparations had
been made, as Mrs. Worldly came un-

announced. Upon request, the dean
came into the parlor. Mrs. Worldly
arose.

“How do you do, Miss Nantucket?
Iam Mrs. Worldly.”

“Why, I am glad to see you, Mrs.
Worldly. It was good of you to come.”

“T am anxious to see the student
body, Miss Nantucket. I have heard
a great deal about your girls here.”

“T trust that they will come up to
your expectations. You may have an
opportunity of judging at lunch time,
perhaps. I will send one of the girls
for you.”

Mrs. Worldly was shown to a guest
room and made welcome. Everything
had gone beautifully and Mrs. World-
ly’s expectations were high.

They were soon to be lowered, for
the first thing went wrong when Be-
atrice Allwood introduced Mrs. World-
ly to her honored table. “Girls, this
is Mrs. Worldly.”

Mrs. Worldly smiled and nodded,
“How do you do?”

And Mrs. Worldly was seated. Prob-
ably due to the excitement of having
a stranger at the table, Beatrice for-
got to introduce each girl to the guest.
This embarrassment was soon over-
come, however, by the silence for the
blessing. Then followed the eager talk
which became louder and louder until

the voices filled the dining room, and
seemed to be vieine with each other
to reach the ceiling. In the meantime,
the meal was in progress. Little did
the girls realize that while Mrs.
Worldly was smiling sweetly over her
gold-rimmed glasses, and apparently
oblivious to everything around her,
she was scrutinizing each one of them.
Every available dish was being
started simultaneously, the pickles,
the butter, the bread, the lemons, the
sugar; and, thus, a conglomeration
was inevitable. A “Paul Jones” oc-
curred frequently when hands were
crossed to meet butter and sugar com-
ing from opposite ends.

Across from Mrs. Worldly sat two
girls who were engaged in a low-
toned “private” conversation, while
the food was being passed around.
Their whisperings may have been,
“Ellen, will you have some potatoes?”
or, it may have been, “This isn’t a
very appropriate meal for a visitor,”
but whatever it was, the fact remain-
ed that the girls were unnecessarily
and unintentionally impolite.

The young girl next to Mrs. World-
ly appeared to be in the greatest
haste. Her hair up in combs, and an
old ginghams dress hanging loosely,
suggested her neglected toilette be-
fore lunch.

Mrs. Worldly ventured, “Have you
seen any good pictures lately, dear?”

“No! hate pictures, and, besides,
never have any time for anything but
eternal studying. Have to rush to
town this afternoon for a dress, and
rush back.”

“Well, now, that is unfortunate. But
don‘t you find your work interesting ?”

Gracious, no! It is too hard to be

interesting.”

“But, at least, my dear, you fully
realize its great value to you in after
life?”

“Can’t see any use to four years of
studying. If it weren’t for my fam-
ily, I wouldn’t be here now. But I
must be excused. Pardon me, Be-

atrice? Charmed to have met you,
Mrs. Worldly.”
Mrs. Worldly nodded pleasantly,

“Thank you.”
Inwardly she thought, “If you only
realized, dear, how necessary it is for

you to think before you speak.”

“Mrs. Worldly, may I serve you to
anything?” inquired Beatrice.

“Not a thing, thank you.”

After lunch Mrs. Worldly, though
still pleasant, was so overcome with
surprise at the utter lack of manners,
that she planned to leave as soon as
decorum permitted. It was unneces-
sary to remain any longer. Her pur-
pose in coming had been accomplished.
Before putting her volume of Pope
into her hand-bag, she turned to the
part:

!
“In words, as fashions, the same rule
will hold;

Alike fantastic, if too new, or old;

Be not the first by whom the new
are tried,

Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.”

Three weeks later, Miss Nantucket
received the following letter from
Mrs. Worldly:

“My dear Miss Nantucket:

“After much deliberation and con-
sultation, I have decided to bestow the
gift on Shortwin College. I regret
that the decision could not be made in
your favor.

“With very best wishes, I am;
“Sincerely yours,
“MRS. WORLDLY.”

Little did the students realize that
they were responsible for this letter.
Would that they had been as wise as
Mrs. Worldly and used Pope’s advice
for a guide.

Bee Keith: “You can’t sting me
again. I bought the city hall last
year and they wouldn't give it to me.”

“What you need more than any-
thing else is a tonic in the shape of
fresh air,” ordered Dr. Sweet.

“Before we proceed further,” said
Ada Knight, “would you mind telling
me, Doctor, what is the shape of fresh
air?”

“There are some songs that will
never die.”

“You're quite right; there’s’a girl
on the fourth floor Main who tries to
kill a few of them every night, but
it’s no use.”

“To emulate the busy bee”

This sage advice was given me.

So just to try to make amneds,

I went right out and stung my friends.

Sarah S.: “They are sending ani-

Mary: “Is that so?”

Sarah: “Yes. Today I got a letter

A Senior: “Why, Miss Sinclair,
that’s impossible. I never get up

about Bluebeard’s dark past, and fits
the key in the lock. The lights flash
off. There is a piercing scream from
Fatima. The red lights come up, show-
ing on the wall of the room the heads
of five former wives of Bluebeard,
labeled the Classes of 1925, 1923, 1921,
1919, 1917. Fatima stands frozen with
horror while the heads sing “Pelankey
lankey, lankey, Freshmen ... Beware

. Freshmen ... Beware!’ Overcome
| by fear, Fatima faints and is carried
to the divan by Sister Anne.

Retribution follows swiftly. Blue-
beard returns, having forgotten to
sign out, and condemns Fatima to in-
stant death. In vain she pleads. At
the eleventh hour, her brothers arrive,
but although Brother Cunningham of-
fers to see that her trunks get there
even if she doesn’t, and Brother Holt
promises to avenge her by flunking
Bluebeard on his mid-year, their at-
tempts to save her life are useless. |
The weeping Anne is led off by the
brothers, and Bluebeard, in ghoulish
glee, drags Fatima away. Felix and
Felicia, left alone, sit down comfort-
ably on the center of the stage with
their backs to the audience. Suddenly
Fatima’s head appears on the wall, la-
beled the Class of 1929. As the cur-
tains slowly fall, the Pussies turn to
each other and say impishly, “Well, I
declare!”

FRESHMAN STUNT

“Hot stuff!” is the most adequate
comment to make on the Freshman
Stunt of 1925, for its principal set-
ting was Hades—Hades with all its
color, devils, and devilment. The
Junior and Freshman portion of the
audience was most enthusiastic in its
vocal applause, the attractive songs
and yells being led by Evelyn Powell,
Clara Stone, and Nancy Lou Knight,
with Elizabeth Norfleet at the piano.

The prologue, which was a parody
on Little Orphant Annie, was written |

by Bettina Bush and read by Evelyn
Wood. As to the plot of the stunt, its
first scene took place in a college dor-
mitory, the curtain rising on two
Freshmen in bed amid the torments of
indigestion, and home-
sickness. When oblivion claims them,
a huge mosquito comes nimbly out and
dances most delightfully, only to be
interrupted by a bottle of citronella
which rolls from under the bed and
attacks the creature. Then ensues a
burlesque fight, from which the mos-
quito comes out victor. Soon in the
distance is heard.the chant of “Um
Soph’mores, Soph’mores,* and six
kwee kwolly wolly dolly wolly dosnic,
little devils appear, five blue ones and
one red. They sing and dance, an-
nouncing their intention of doing mur-
derous deeds to all upstart Freshmen.
They bear upon their backs signs with
their names, Um Kwee, Kwolly, Wol-
ly, Dolly, Wolly and Dosnic. With a

bound they alight upon poor Annie |

(cone of the girls), wrap her up in a
sheet, and deposit her in a downward
chute, the curtain falling as she and
the devils sink from view.

of Knowledge, and an oracle’s cave
marked “Bear, Delicious, Delightful
Dean”) where Annie is brought and
tormented with both physical and
mental punishmnet. An army of
horned teachers assail her with Food
for Thought, a diet which proves so
indigestible that Annie faints and is
microscopically examined by the biol-
ogy teacher, who discovers that her
heart is missing. Upon minute in-
vestigation, during which they search
Annie‘s boots, the lost organ is found
in hey throat. At this point Dr. Sweet
enters, diagnoses, and ends by giving
a hypodermic injection. This so rejuv-
enates Annie that she quite briskly
turns upon her tormentors and throws
them, one by one, into the fiery fur-
nace. She now turns to the oracle and
questions:

The second scene discloses the

“Oh, thou high and mighty one,
Now our evening’s work is done—
What was the cause of all this scene?
Tell us, Dear, Delightful Dean.”

As the curtain descends, the sonor-
ous answer from the cavernous depths
is: Um kwee, kwolly, wolly, dolly, wolly
dosnic, Soph’mores, Soph’mores.”

The whole skit, which was written
by Bettina Bush and Augusta Roberts,
was quite clever, and the entire cast
deserves commendation. Of especial
merit was the work of some of the
leading characters, noticeably Annie
and Um Kwee. The very effective
stage settings were the fruit of the
labor of Martha Riley Selmon, Au-
gusta Roberts, and others.

Agnes Scott to Have
Beta Chapter of Ga.

Blackfriars Has
Regular Meeting

Phi Betta Kappa Parliamentary Law Studied

Orders for Installation of
Chapter Received from
Headquarters; Char-

tex Members
Named

Orders have recently come from
Dr. Voorhees, secretary of the United
Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, to ar-
range for the installation at Agnes
Scott of the Beta Chapter (Georgia)
of Phi Beta Kappa. The charter mem-
bers were named also. They are as fol-
lows: Lillian Scoresly Smith, Ph.D..
Syracuse, ’04, Professor of Latin and
Greek; Samuel Guerry Stukes, A.B.,
A.M., B.B., Davidson, 1928, Professor
of Philosophy and Education; Cleo
Hearon, Ph.D., Chicago, 1914, Profes-
sor of History; Robert Benton Holt,
B.A., M.S., Wisconsin, 1901, Professor
of Chemistry; Edith Muriel Harn,
Ph.D., Goucher, 1915, Associate Pro-
fessor of Romance Languages; Lady
Como Cole, A.M., Duke University,
1922, Instructor in History.

At an initial meeting of the char-
ter members on September 30, Dr.
James Ross McCain was elected as a
foundation member. The charter
members considered themselves for-
tunate in being allowed to elect Dr.
McCain to membership before the in-
stallation of the chapter, and in so
doing, stated that much of the suc-
cess of the movement to attain Phi
Beta Kappa at Agnes Scott was due
to Dr. McCain; that from the be-
ginning he was keenly interested, as-
sisting in formation of plans, an-
swering questionnaires, and arrang-
ing financial affairs.

The installation will probably take
place in February, at which time Dr.

Thwing, President of the United
Chapter Phi Beta Kappa, and Dr.
Voorhees, Secretary, will both be
present. Meanwhile, alumnae and

senior members will be elected, and
will be presented for initiation in Feb-
ruary.

Phi Beta Kappa is well known as
the National Honor Society of the
American College. It was founded in
1776 as a Greek letter society, being
the oldest of Greek letter societies.
Its ideals, however, were so high that
later it was decided to divulge its sec-
rets and make it a national honor so-
ciety.

There are certain minimum limits
which all chapters must observe in the
selection of their members, but, with-
in these limits, selection is deter-
mined by the individual college in-
volved. Persons are chosen primarily
from the best scholars of the class
and then from the scholars among
post-graduates, and lastly from alum-
nae prominent in letters, science, ed-
ucation, or political science. Not more
than one-fifth of any class may be
chosen. Phi Beta Kappa has now
about one hundred chapters. It num-
bers among its members distinguished
citizens: Woodrow Wilson, ‘Roosevelt,
Taft, Balfour, Ambassador Bryce.
Monsieur Jusserand, Judge Horace E.
Allen, Miss Comstock, President of
Radcliffe; Miss Woolley, President of
Mt. Holyoke, and Miss Pendleton,
Prseident of Wellesley.

New Members of B. O. Z.

One more organization has held
try-outs, and admitted new members.
B. O. Z. boasts of three new members
this year. They are Miriam Preston,
Carolyn Essig, and Susan Clavton, all
three excellent writers. Miriam Pres-
ton’s try-out was especially good, and
will appear in the first publication of
the “Aurora.”

and “Candida” Presented

Blackfriars held its regular meet-
ing Friday afternoon, October 16, and
welcomed the eleven new members
that had been initiated into the or-
ganization two weeks before. The
first few minutes of the meeting were
taken up with a dril' in Parliamen-
tary Law, and then the meeting was
given over to the actual program.
Blackfriars is this year working out
a new method of study, and is tak-
ing up dramas from different coun-
tries in an endeavor to get a broader
view of the dramatic field. At the
last meeting, the study was of an
American play, Stuart Walker’s A
Very Naked Boy; and at this meet-
ing the scene shifted to England, and
Bernard Shaw’s Candida formed the
basis of study. Since Candida is a
three-act play, a contrast to the one-
act plays that Blackfriars usually
gives, it will be studied on the install-
ment plan; so that only the first act
was presented at this meeting. Those
taking part in the presentation were:

Candida, Mary Weems.

Marell, Emily Stead.

Eugene Marchbanks, Elizabeth Me-
Callie.

The Stenographer, Edith Carpenter.

Mr. Burgess, Martha Crowe.

Bible Clu Meets

Mrs. Sydenstricker Tells of
Travels in Holy Land

The Bible Club held its first meet-
ing of the year in the Fropylean Hall
on last Monday night, October 12th.

Especially attractive was this meet-
ing since the special feature was Mrs.
Sydenstricker’s talk on her trip to
Europe the past summer.

Mrs. Sydenstricker spent the sum-
mer months traveling extensively
through the Holy Land, with a party
of tourists. From Italy she went
across the Mediterranean Sea _ into
Egypt, the country which holds all the
wonders of Biblical stories. From
Egypt she took a modern train into
Jerusalem, ferrying across the Red
Sea. In Jerusalem she spent a great-
er part of her time. The old Jeru-
salem is made up of small, dirty
streets, mud huts and it is densely
populated, but Jerusalem proper, or
the new Jerusalem, just outside the
city walls, is a very modern city. Here
a great interest is being manifested
in the study of archiology and every
day buried remains of Biblical days
are being dug up which adds greatly
to the realness of early times. Mrs.
Sydenstricker made Jerusalem her
headquarters, for the summer, but she
visited many smaller towns, such as
Jelico. The majority of these towns
are practically in ruins with almost
no inhabitants.

Mrs. Sydenstricker’s talk was most
interesting, as well as instructive and
every one is looking forward to an-
other meeting of the Bible Club when
Mrs. Sydenstricker will relate some
more of the wonders of the Holy
Land.

BIOLOGY CLUB MEETS

The advanced students in Biology
met in the laboratory on Wednesday
afternoon, October 14, and elected of-
ficers for the year. Helen Bates was
elected President and Martha Rose
Childress, Secretary.

On Tuesday, October 20, the first
joint meeting of the Biology Clubs of
Emory, Tech and Agnes Scott met at
Emory. Mr. Baker gave a very in-
teresting lecture on the Neuro-Motor
Apparatus of Euglena. The evening
was brought to a close by a social
hour during which refreshments were
served by the hosts.

Atlanta Music Club | Poetry Club Meets |John Drinkwater

Announces Concert Pro-
grams

Tickets On Sale Now

Tuesday morning Mrs. Hatcher, of
the Atlanta Musie Study Club, told
A. S. C. girls and faculty of the Ar-
tists’ concert series to be presented at
the auditorium this fall and winter.

The program for this season is un-
usually attractive. There are to be
five concerts; the first is to be given
October 24th, featuring Tito Schippa,
a well-known and “attractive” lyric
tenor. Some time in January, Ignace
Paderewski, the master pianist, is to
be presented. The other artists to ap-
pear are Henri Verbrugghen, conduc-
tor of the Minneapolis Symphony Or-
chestra; Sigrid Onegin, Metropolitan
contralto, and Guy Maier and Lee Pat-
terson, pianists.

Season tickets for this series of con-
certs are being sold by Martha John-
ston, in Main Hall, all this week. The
prices range from five to ten dollars.
(Six dollars is the “happy medium!’’)
Mrs. Hatcher assures deep regret if
we fail to profit by these exceptional
opportunities.

Vice-President
of United States
Visits Atlanta

General Dawes Speaks to
Large Audience

Atlanta was honored last week by
a visit from the Vice-President of the
United States. He came here to see
Atianta again and to know Atlantans
better. A large group of prominent
citizens greeted him at the Terminal
Station and welcomed him cordially.
Two luncheons and a banquet were
given in his honor, at which he met
several hundred prominent men of the
city. On Thursday night he spoke to
a large audience in the Auditorium-
Armory.

General Dawes has had a very suc-
cessful career. As a young man, he
studied law and specialized in finance.
He soon became the president of the
Illinois Trust Company of Chicago.
When the United States entered the
World War, he was made head of the
Supply Department of the A. E. F. in
France. After the war, he became
chairman of the Dawes’ Reparation
Commission, which has given Europe
a firm footing, upon which she may
work toward economic recovery. At
the last presidential election, he was
elected Vice-President of the United
States on the Republican ticket. Since
he has been Vice-President, he has
tried to introduce business-like, effici-
ent methods into the workings of the
Senate, to improve its old-fashioned,
slow mode of procedure.

General Dawes is a fascinating
talker and made a splendid address
Thursday night. His speeches are
marked by straight-forward honesty
and sincerity. In them one recognizes
his moral courage, for he says exactly
what he believes, regardless of whom
he may hit. One is always sure that
General Dawes will make an interest-
ing address.

Recognition Given Several
of Its Members

The first meeting of the Poetry
Club, held October 13th, with Miss
Laney, was of unusual interest. After
the plans for the year had been dis-
cussed, the poems were read and criti-
cized, Then Miss Laney read to the
club the letters which the judges of
the Alumnae Poetry Contest had writ-
ten about the poems submitted for the
contest. Miss Margaret Bland’s poem
entitled, “On the Campus,” won first
prize. Miss Preston received honor-
able mention. Georgia May Little’s
“Repentance,” published in the Au-
rora last year, was very favorably
mentioned by all three of the judges.
The Poetry Club was ¢gveatly inter-
ested in the criticism of various other
poems. “Mobile,” by Grace Augusta
Ogden, was praised by Dubose Hey-
ward for its atmospheric effect—a
quality dear to Mr. Heyward. Eliza-
beth Cheatham’s “City Lake At
Night” was commended for its fresh-
ness of images.

The Poetry Club feels gratified by
the recognition different ones of its
members have been receiving. Miss
Preston's “To Res¢ue Today from Ob-
livion” is included in Braithwaite’s
Anthology of Best Magazine Verse.
This poem is reprinted from the “Re-
view”:

“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 hedges’ breathing

bloom

That fills a little lane with fra-

grant May;

The star that swings

through the gloom
That gathers at the closing of the

her taper

day;
The sudden glowing of a gracious
thought
Akin to wonder, on a lifted face;
These cool imprints 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.”

Miss Preston has had a couple of
poems published also in the “Poet
Lore.” Miss Bland is the winner not
only of the Agnes Scott Alumnae
Prize, but also of the Southern Poetry
Prize, offered by the Charleston
Poetry Society. Susan Clayton, Eliza-
beth Cheatham, and Frances Harper
have already been notified that they
will have poems appearing in “Poets
of the Future, An Anthology of Col-
lege Verse.”

The achievements of these members
of the Poetry Club will doubtless be
an inspiration to the whole club. The
Poetry Club is looking forward with
enthusiasm to a year of productive
and constructive activity.

CHARLOTTE GIRLS ENTER-
TAIN FOR MRS. JOSEPHS
The dining room of the Alumnae
House, was the scene, Tuesday,
October 20th, of a supper given
by the girls from Charlotte, North
Carolina, the honoree of the occa-
sion being Mrs. Josephs, the mother
of Evelyn Josephs. A Hallowe‘en color
scheme of yellow and black, was car-
ried out. Yellow candles adorned the
table, which was decorated in crepe
paper. The favors were small souve-
nirs indicative of the character of
each guest. A toast was drunk to Mrs.
Josephs by the following guests:
Miss Bland, Evelyn Josephs, Pernette

Adams, Sarah Southerland, Olive
Spencer, Sally Cothran, Mildred

To Lecture

Famous English Dramatist
Will Be First Speaker
Offered by Lecture
Association

John Drinkwater opens the Lecture
Association’s season this year on No-
vember 6. No better choice could have
been made, either from the point of
view of the quality of the lecturer or
the interest of the audience.

John Drinkwater, the eminent dra-
matist and poet, is one of the leading
authorities on English literature. His
ham Lincoln, “Robert E. Lee,” and
“Mary Stuart,” and his critical work,
“The Outline of English Lit-
erature,” have been read by thou-
sands on both sides of the At-
lantic. Besides his work and success
as a dramatist, he has had a wide ex-
perience on the stage, a fact which
adds a distinct charm to his lectures
and the readings of his own verse. His
lectures are entertaining and impres-
sive. Says the Illinois State Journal:
“The most remarkable fact about
John Drinkwater the poet is John
Drinkwater the man. His genuineness
is so patent, his sympathies so mark-
edly sincere, his manner so simple and
direct, that however true was what he
had to say and however delightful
were the poems he read, it was the
man himself behind it and in it all
that so quickly won the splendid ap-
preciation of the large audience that
greeted him yesterday.” The Satur-
day Review, in commenting on his
work, says: “Of all our modern poets,
Mr. Drinkwater is memorable for the
level beauty of achievement.”

He is ranked as one of the leading
English poets and he is typical of the
contemporary men of letters in that
he is, and has always been, deeply in-
terested in the drama. His verse is
distinguished by its freshness and
virility. Of it The New Witness (Lon-
don) says: “No one living has turned
out a greater body of consistently fine
work than Mr. Drinkwater. Goodness,
truth, and beauty unite in the burden
of his songs.”

John Drinkwater is especially inter-
esting to American audiences in that
he was the first Englishman to use
one of our great men as the hero of
one of his books. He has done this
with notable success and distinction in
his play, “Abraham Lincoln.” This
play, first produced in England, was
received with enthusiasm. Later it
was brought to New York and there
its London triumph was repeated.
Since then it has ranked as one of
the most popular historical plays writ-
ten in moden times. Because of this,
as well as because of his reputation
as a poet, Agnes Scott will be proud
to welcome John Drinkwater.

Agness Scott
Represented

At Semi-Centennial Celebra-
tion at University of
North Carolina.

Over nienty colleges and universi-
ties in the United States were rep-
resented at the semi-centennial cele-
bration of the re-opening of the Uni-
versity of North Carolina, following
its close of four years during the
Civil War. Agnes Scott had as her
delegate Mr. Stukes, who went to
Chapel Hill on Monday to attend the
exercises.

The event was also the one hundred
and thirtieth anniversary of the open-
ing of the University, which took
place in 1791, and a special feature
of the oceasion was the dedication of
the new Chemistry Hall. Many men
prominent in the educational affairs
of the nation were present and con-
tributed to an interesting program.
It is also interesting to note that 31
alumni of the class of 50 years ago
| were able to be present.

In a late editorial of an Atlanta paper, we found a discussion
of the recent disagreement between the faculty and sophomore
class of Mercer University, wherein the faculty set its foot down
on the hazing of freshmen by second-year students, stating that
there are plenty of other and saner ways in which sophomores
may express their instinct of self assertion and foster class spirit.
The writer of the editorial was heartily in accord with the action
of the faculty, and he went so far as to state that it is this spirit
of disobedience among college students which makes the product
of American colleges so often a menace rather than a blessing
to the age. “One of the essential teachings of high schools, col-
leges, and universities,” he said, “is obedience to law.” In the
Mercer question, we take no stand; but, to the writer’s views
concerning obedience as a virtue to be taught in colleges, we are
diametrically opposed. We are not anarchists, we even admit
that obedience is a virtue to be instilled into high school students,
but on a college or university campus, it finds a much smaller
place. Self-dependence, originality, individualism we believe the
more appropriate words.

Unfortunately, the organization of a college tends to take
away from students self-reliance and individuality. Five hun-
dred girls must go to the same meals at the same time, turn out
their lights at the same time, and obey the same minute laws of
permission and chaperonage. In the nature of the case, such a
system is necessary. But, in the last few years, colleges have
sought to place more responsibility on students and therefore in-
culeate more self-dependence, by the institution of student gov-
ernments. Students now may make the laws, even if they must
all follow them.

But it is along academic lines that college students need to
be warned against complacent acceptance of whatever is told
them. The latest theories of atoms, of evolution of possible ex-
planations for miracles—why should any college student with a
mind of her own simply take notes on her professor’s views about
such theories,memorize them, write them examinations and for-
get them. Such study does not produce that enlightenment of
mind which it is the purpose of a college education to give. To
be critical, though not suspicious—that is to be an intelligent
student.

The writer of the aforesaid editorial stated that it is the
spirit of individualism now prevailing among college students
which fills our prisons and juvenile courts. He did not mention
that it was that same spirit of disobedience to existing laws of
desire to better the world in which they lived, that gave to us
Luther, Wordsworth, Wilson, and the progress resulting from
their revolts.

Y. W.C. A. Starts
Campaign
for Budget

The Y. W. G. A. has been engaged
the past few days in putting over its
budget campaign. On Sunday evening
at the Y. W. C. A. service, Virginia
Sevier made an inspiring talk on the
joy of giving, from the spiritual point
of view. The following evening a
clever stunt was given to show some
of the uses of the budget. Then on
Tuesday morning at chapel there were
talks by different girls who showed
the necessity of each member’s con-
tributing her part to support this as-
sociation. It was explained that the
budget this year is to consist of $1650,
which will be spent in such ways as
helping to support a missionary,
bringing some religious leader to lee-
ture at Agnes Scott, sending a certain
sum to the National Y. W. C. A., help-
ing a student at Nacoochee, and en-
tertaining the new girls at the begin-
ning of the year.

The budget has been placed on a
basis of rivalry between the different
classes for a hundred per cent pledge
of the membership. After chapel
Tuesday was posted a chart repre-
senting a thermometer registering the
standing of the classes. Then Tues-
day night a eard was given to each
girl to pledge the amount that she
would give the Y. W. C. A. this year.
On Wednesday morning the thermom-
eter showed how successful the cam-
paign had been and just where each
class stood in doing its share.

Intercollegiate News

While thoughts at Agnes Scott are
particularly focused on Y. W. C. A.,
what with the membership campaign,
candle lighting service, and now the
drive for a hundred percent budget
subscription, it is interesting to note
that colleges throughout the south
are actively entering Y. W. work also.

One hundred and sixty Freshmen
were admitted to the Wesleyan Y. W.
C. A. in the annual candle lighting
service of Sunday evening. :

Mercer’s Y. M. C. A. holds for its
principal object, the fostering of a
better spirit of fellowship among the
students. To accomplish this, meet-
ings are held every Tuesday, Wed-
nesday and Thursday evening. Talks
by men who “value the higher, last-
ting things of life” serve as an in-
spiration to the students. The songs
and friendly chats that follow such
talks tie a little closer the bonds of
brotherhood that are formed in col-
lege.

Furman University has appealed to
its students for support of the Bud-
get which it is estimated will total
$500 for the year.

The Salemite held a splendid col-
umn on Y. W. C. A. activity on the
campus. Ata Y. W. meeting, the at-
tributes of the ideal “Y” girl were
enumerated. One possessing such at-
tributes was assured to be a popular,
capable and well-loved girl, who has
initiative, college and class spirit,
and an unselfish disposition. She is:
The girl who is sunny.

The girl who has a heart.

The girl who is cultured and re-
fined.

The girl who appreciates good mu-
sic.

The girl who has a conscience and
lives up to it.

A girl who is trustworthy.

The girl whose voice is well mod-
ulated.

The girl who stands for the right,
alone, if need be.

. The girl who is true to her friends.
The girl who sings from her heart.
The girl who knows how to say

“no” to that which is wrong.

The girl who takes a real interest
in her home.

The girl whose eyes are wide open
to see the good in others.

The girl who confides in her moth-
er.

The girl whose religion shines in
her life.

“Vesper Thoughts” is the heading
of a new and unusual column in The
Mercer Cluster. It gives an elevat-
ing thought for each day, and en-
forces the thought with a brief re-
ligious talk. This is a commendable
addition to the Cluster. Thoughts

Day Student News _

Alumnae News

The day students wish to make a
standing date (thrills!) with the col-
lege community for the evening of
December 5. The musical comedy to
be presented on that date must be a
success, not only because it was writ-
ten by Misses Elizabeth McCallie and
Grace Zachry, but also because it is
very necessary that the Day Student
cottage be built next year. Try-outs
for the play are going to be held soon
and all day students who wish to try
out are requested to give their sched-
ules to Miss Mary Knox by 6 P. M.,
November 6.

The day-student room in the new
gym serves many purposes—as a
lunch room, a place for the holding of
French and Latin seances, and as a
special meeting place of the giddy —
gossips. Miss Randolph, however, —
wishes to remind the girls that it
isn’t quite “proper” to use the day —
student room as a dressing room.

By the way, if anyone wants his —
glasses broken, Mr. Cunningham will |
be glad to recommend a little girl who
frolics about with the basketball in |
the gym.

Elizabeth Woltz is teaching at Bel-

a display of frat pins. Louise Kelly
has such a collection that when one
“sheik” asked for his the other night,
she brought out a whole box full and
told him that he might select.

Some of the externes find it terribly
hard to get to classes on time in the
morning. Elizabeth McCallie says
that eight o’clock spoken English —
classes are so awfully early that the
only thing she is capable of reading is
Lady Maebeth’s “Sleep-Walking

several delightful weeks in Europe.
She was with Mrs. Sydenstricker.

Beth McClure °23 has announced
her engagement to Daniel MeGeachy

Basketball Season’ Begins

A hot time is predicted for any class
looking forward to winning the bas-
ketball championship this year. Bet-
ter material and more class spirit has
been shown than ever before. There
is room for improvement in form and
speed, but even now no one could hope
for a better game than that put out
between the Juniors and the Seniors,
Friday night, October 16. Everybody
was out, and yelling for “our side.”

Swimming Team Try-Outs

For the first time in the history of
Agnes Scott, swimming is going to be
a major sport, thanks to the new
swimming pool . If you have not had
an opportunity in past years to show
your prowess in the water, now is
your chance to rival Mack Sennett’s
Bathing Beauties. It does not take
any spectacular ability, for good form
itself will make you a shining light.
The class try-outs are being held this
week. There will be twelve on a team
so do not be timid in joining the rest
of us.

Elise Gay is the Senior manager,
Catherine Mitchell the Junior, and
Mary ‘Riviere the Sophomore.. The
Freshmen have not as yet elected
theirs.

The same bibliophile has even put
into poetry his old outworn books,
among which are his textbooks, books
that for the most part are the very
essence of prose:

“Here stand my books, line upon line,
They reach the roof, and row upon

They speak of faded tastes of mine,
The things I did, but do not know;
Old school books, useless long ago,
Old logics, where the spirit, railed in,

Miss Hearon
Entertains for

Dean Kerr

One of the most distinguished vis-
itors that has come to Agnes Scott
was Dean Kerr, of Florida State Col-
lege, the guest of Miss Hearon, who
spent October 14th here.

The hostess left nothing undone to
entertain Dean Kerr, and the day she
spent here was well occupied. After
a most engaging lecture during chapel,
Dean Kerr was shown over the cam-
pus, visiting the dormitories, the li-
brary, and the new gymnasium, with
which she was quite pleased. It is
certainly gratifying for the students
to know that this guest liked the at-
mosphere that prevailed at Agnes
Seott, of which she had heard so
much.

Before lunch Dean Kerr expressed
the wish to see Stone Mountain, with
which wish her hostess complied.

Upon their return, Miss Hearon en-
tertained at a delightful luneh at the
Tea Room for Dean Kerr, the guests
including Miss Hopkins, Miss Alexan-
der, and the President and Treasurer
of the Atlanta Branch of the Associa-
tion of American University Women.

Dean Kerr was Miss Hopkins’ guest
at dinner in Rebekah Scott dining
room, and left very early in the eve-
ning. We hope to have the pleasure
of having Dean Kerr again quite
soon.

THE BATTLE OF GERMANTOWN

Rarely does a growing city reach
out its tentacles of new factories and
dwellings and encompass an entire
battlefield. Yet this happened in Phila-

j delphia, and the “battle-field within a

city” will be one of the attractions to
the many visitors to the Sesquicen-
tennial International Exposition which
opens there on June 1, 1926,

During the Revolutionary War, in
the history of which Philadelphia
played such a prominent part, the
British Army went into encampment
at Germantown, at that time a small
village a few miles to the north. The
town consisted of quaint stone build-
ings, stretched along two miles of an
old road that in the days of William
Penn had been a cow path.

It was the Autumn of 1777-78, and
the British had just descended upon’
and occupied Philadelphia, where the
Declaration of Independence had been
signed a year before.

Just prior to going into his historic
winter encampment at Valley Forge,
Washington with 11,000 troops swept
down on the British and totally sur-
prised them. He had almost the en-
tire British army beating a hasty re-
treat, when an odd incident happened
that turned almost certain victory in-
to humiliating defeat.

Six companies of fleeing British in-
fantrymen sought refuge in a huge
stone mansion. They barricaded the
doors and prepared to fight while
their ammunition lasted. But the ad-
vancing Colonial troops, flushed with
the possibility of a quick victory,
passed the house and pushed forward
after the retreating Britishers.

Later, when Washington ordered
reinforcements up from the rear,
these fell upon the house and at-
tempted to dislodge the force within.

The sounds of firing in the rear
struck terror in the hearts of the pa-
triots who had gone ahead. Officers
and men alike became possessed with
the idea that they had been surround-
ed by a strong British force, and they
began to fall back. Soon the entire
Continental Army was in retreat.

The Chew House, the mansion in
which the British infantrymen took
refuge, still stands. It is now a mu-
seum and contains many objects of
historical interest connected with the
battle. Its heavy stone walls still are
marked from the volleys of Continen-
tal bullets fired against it in the vain
effort to dislodge the enemy.

Today the entire battlefield of Ger-
mantown is within the built-up limits
of Philadelphia. The Chew House and
a few of the other stone buildings of
the original settlement are the only
ones that have withstood the advance
‘of modern building.

Hospitality.’’)

Giddie Gossip

Dearest Giddy:

This has been a most hectic week,
and I know that my letter will be so
miserable it will give you the sensa-
tion you experience when we have
meat pie for dinner. Nevertheless, I
must unburden my troubles on some
one. When it rains two hours after
one has spent one’s last buck on a
marcel, when test papers are being re-
turned every day, and when Miss Mil-
ler leaves a note on Tuesday saying,
“This room is a disgrace to Agnes
Scott,” one on Wednesday saying
“ditto,” one on Thursday saying “the
same,” how can one be cheerful?

Giddie, we Sophomores are almost
getting conceited. Of course you know
how we “covered ourselves with glory”
(though we were already fully
clothed) on Saturday night. But today
Miss Eagleson paid us a huge compli-
ment—though it was a bit indirect.
She said to her education class. “Some
of you are Juniors, some of you are
Seniors, and some of you are Smart,”
so she must have meant us. Of course
no one would think of applying that
idjective to the Freshmen.

They (the Freshmen) are still living
p to their time honored reputation
for dumbness. The other day when
Louise Slumb said she must get a
sheet from Mr. Holt, Virginia Came-
ron asked her whether he was the
housekeeper or the laundryman! But
never mind, any one who lives through
a semester of Chem. I will soon learn
that. “Sheets of Questions” are given
out on Friday and next to Latin are
the worst hoodoos of that course.

Still I guess it is not so bad to be a

Freshman, especially right now when
everybody is talking about what-good
sports they are, and their faculty ad-
visers are wineing (?) and dining
them. It would be grand to be eligible
to some of the bacon bats and teas
that the Freshmen are rushing to.

The popular proverb: “All good
things go to Miami” seems to be prov-
ing true, Giddie. John Flint has ac-
tually succumbed to Florida’s sunny
charms! Now, I ask you, who will
pass around the faculty toast every

will put it on my table by mistake
some morning. That would be a thrill
equal to the one I had when I received

THE AGON ES ELC

At Large

By Joseph Kobinsen

The praise of books has been sung
in prose, prose, too, that approaches
poetry in its emotional appeal. But
the poets have sung the praise of
books in poetry that has a still deeper
emotional appeal, an appeal that
brings melody to its aid. How well
Mary Carolyn Davies has sung of the
serenity and peace that a library may
harbor:

“A little place of inglenooks

And books;

A place where still and cool

A quiet pool

Of candlelight upon the table sloops;
A spot that keeps

Unbroken, ready, waiting the need,
Peace—that is home indeed:

Enter, tired, restless one, and dream

and read.”

x * *

How well has Andrew Lang, who
knew both old and new book, has set
forth in his Ballade of The Bookworm
what books have meant to him both in
the enchanted years of lost youth and
in his mature years:

“One gift the Fairies gave me (Three
They commonly bestowed of yore),
The Love of Books, the Golden Key
That opens the Enchanted Door;

Behind it Bluebird lurks, and o’er
And o’er doth Jack his Giants kill,
And there is all ALADDIN’S store—
The Books I love, I love them still!

“Far in the Past I peer, and see

A Child upon the Nursery floor,
A Child with books upon his knee,
Who asks, like Oliver, for more!
And yet in Letters he hath skill,
The number of his years is IV,
How deep he dives in Fairy-lore!
The books I love, I love them still!

Philippines Will Exhibit At
Sesqui—Brazil Building
of Portuguese Design

General Wood, Governor of Islands,
Will Supervise Shipment to Phila-
delphia of Fine Display—U. S. Am-
bassador at Rio de Janeiro Reports
Government Will Spare No Expense
on Its Showing at Exposition—Va-
rious States to Appoint Commis-
sions.

The most complete Philippine ex-
hibit ever arranged will be an attrac-
tive feature of the Sesquicentennial
International Exposition, according to
a communication from General Leon-
ard S. Wood, Governor of the Philip-
pine Islands, to Colonel D. C. Collier,
Director-General of the Sesqui.

Characteristic products of the is-
lands, particularly their principal ex-
ports, will be included in the official
exhibit, on which $12,000 will be ex-
pended and which will be forwarded
and displayed under the direction of
General Wood.

Numerous articles made by Fili-
pinos, including fine needle work, for
which the women are famous, will be
seen in individual exhibits in the Pal-
ace of Liberal Arts and other build-
ings.

Brazil’s Building Ornate

Brazil will erect an ornate building
of Portuguese Colonial design to
house its comprehensive exhibit at
the Sesquicentennial International Ex-
position, according to an official re-
port forwarded by Edwin V. Morgan.
United States Ambassador Extraor-
dinay and Plenipotentiay at Rio de
Janeiro, to Secretary of State Kel-
loge.

The Ambassador’s communication
which also announced receipt by the
Brazilian Government of documents
forwarded by the Sesquicentennial
Exhibition Association of Philadel-
phia and their transmission to the
Minister of Agriculture, says in part:

“I have the pleasure to report a
long conference with the Minister of
Agriculture regarding Brazilian par-
ticipation in the said Exhibition,
which will undoubtedly be on a gen-
erous scale. In addition to an appro-
priation of 2,000 centos (about $250,-
000) for the authorization of which
Congress has been asked, the Federal
Government is prepared to request
further financial assistance, if such
should become necessary.

States Will Exhibit

“A commission of five members will
soon be appointed, as well as a larger
general committee, and the said Min-
ister has addressed a circular tele-
gram to the Presidents and Governors
of all the Brazilian States, request-
ing them to appoint a State commis-
sion which shall assume the charge
of an active propaganda for a full
display of characteristic products of
each State.

“The Minister’s telegram states that
the Federal Government wishes to
avail itself of an exceptional occa-
sion to make a practical and exten-
sive display of those products of Bra-
zil which are most suitable for ex-
portation, and to distribute gratis to
Exhibition visitors small samples of
those products accompanied by a de-
seriptive pamphlet in the English
language.”

The government and people of Bra-
zil hold in high esteem Colonel D. C.
Collier, Director-General of the Ses-
quicetennial, who was United States
Commissioner to the Brazilian Expo-
sition held in 1922-1923. The ties of
friendship then formed have strength-
ened with the passing of years.

Two Cablegrams

Colonel Collier recently received ca-
blegrams from Dr. Miguel Calmon,
Brazilian Minister of Agriculture, In-
dustry and Commerce, and Dr. Se-
bastino Sampaio, First Secretary of
Foreign Relations.

Dr. Calmon’s eablegram follows:

“T ASSURE YOU, GOOD FRIEND,
PLL DO EVERYTHING WITH THE
GOVERNMENT AND PERSONAL-
LY AS WELL TO SECURE A COM-
PLETE AND SUCCESSFUL REP-
RESENTATION OF BRAZIL IN

HUMOR

It has been said that a person can
be rated pretty accurately by noting
what appeals to his sense of humor.
According to this system of diagnosis
those who laugh at inane jests gen-
erally are stupid or slow witted;
others who delight in “rough stuff”
have no innate refinement, while a
sense of humor that is at once keen
and subtile betokens a mind of su-
perior type.

Like every other scheme for meas-
uring intelligence or judging charac-
ter, this method has its limitations;
yet it often may be employed suc-
cessfully.

Examine, for instance, some of the
“wise cracks” heard in the course of
casual conversations among almost
any group of students. The loudest
guffows frequently are valled forth by
half-disguised insults. The victim is
considered a very poor sport if he
fails to smile or shows any signs of
irritation. A reputation for clever-
ness and wit often is based on noth-
ing more than an excessive capacity
for inflicting pain or causing embar-
rassment.

Next time, before you laugh at a
plece of sarcasm or some brutal
thrust, just put yourself in the other
fellow’s place—and don’t even smile,

Vol. XI

Dr. McCain began a series of short
but very interesting talks on the his-
tory of Agnes Scott last Wednesday
morning in chapel. Naturally, we
love our Alma Mater better when we
know the trials it has withstood and
the successes it has won.

Dr. McCain began by telling us
about the early history of Decatur.
Over a hundred years ago, the Creek
Indians were almost the only inhab-
itants of this part of the country. In
fact, the ridge on which Rebekah Scott
stands was used by the Creeks as
their council ground. In 1820, how-
ever, the Indians were removed by a
Federal decree, and almost immediate-
ly the town and county were settled
by white people.

For a long time, Decatur was con-
siderably larger than the village
which has become Atlanta, probably
on account of its position at the foot
hills of the Blue Ridge mountains.
‘The people of Decatur wished that

their town should be primarily a cen-
ter of culture and education, and
trenuously opposed any form of man-
facture in the town limits. Indeed,
the large railroads wished to end their
lines in Decatur, but were prevented
‘by the citizens of the town, and were
forced to build Atlanta asa terminal.

During the Civil War, the Federal
breastworks were located on the ridge
now occupied by Main and Rebekah
Scott. The Confederates charged up
the hill at the back of the campus
and forced their enemies to retreat
through Decatur to the site of the
battle of Atlanta. This ridge is im-
portant from a geographical as well
‘as from an historical standpoint, since
jt is a natural divide, and water fall-
ing on the front side of the colonnade
flows into the Atlantic Ocean, while
water falling on the back side flows
into the Gulf of Mexico.

In his next talk, Dr. McCain told
of the founding of Agnes Scott. About
1888, Dr. Gaines became pastor of the
Presbyterian Church of Decatur. Dur-
ing his first year he was greatly im-
pressed by the poor educational fa-
cilities of Decatur. He talked with
several citizens of the town, and the
result was that $5,000 was raised with
which to start a school for girls. Dr.
Gaines went to Virginia to secure
teachers. He was fortunate to get in
touch with Miss Nannette Hopkins,
whom he persuaded to become princi-
pal of the new school. Since that
time she has been Principal or Dean,
and most capably and unselfishly has
she performed the duties connected
with these offices. Miss Hopkins, with
one other teacher from Virginia and
two ladies of Decatur, constituted the
faculty of Decatur Female Seminary.
The building was a large frame one,
somewhat resembling White House,
and was located just in front of the
summer house, which was formerly
the well of the school. There were
three boarders and about sixty day
pupils in the first session. It is in-
teresting to note that little boys be-
low 12 years were allowed to attend
the first few sessions of the school.
As the pupils were unprepared for
advanced scholastic work, the courses
belonged mostly to the elementary
grades.

Such was the beginning of Agnes
Scott College, which, in a short period
of less than forty years has reached
fhe highest scholastic standards, has
obtained nation wide recognition, and
is classed among America’s leading
colleges.

Dr. Arbuckle
and Family

Here for Decatur Presbyte-
rian Church Centennial

We are always delighted to have
with us former members of the
school, student or teacher, and the
short visit of Dr. and Mrs. Arbuckle
and their son and daughter was an
especial pleasure. The entire family
returned on October 24 to their old
home and working-ground for the De-
vatur Presbyterian Church Centennial.

They resided here for fifteen years,
during which time Dr. Arbuckle was
the efficienet and loved Chemistry Pro-
fessor of Agnes Scott. He is a grad-
uate of Hampton-Sidney, M. A., and
of Johns Hopkins, Ph. D., well quali-

fied, and his departure for Davidson:

College in 1913 was felt keenly as a
loss to Agnes Scott, even as it was
a gain for Davidson. Mrs. Arbuckle
was equally well-known and loved, and
the two are counted among the most
popular citizens Deecatur has ever
had. They were, accordingly, the re-
cipients of numerous invitations dur-
ing their too-short stay among old
friends.

It was gratifying to us to learn
that the Arbuckle family had eagerly
anticipated their prospective return to
Decatur and Agnes Scott, feeling it
a wonderful opportunity—even as did
we, and to know that they left en-
thusiastic over the welcome they had
received here,

Y.W.C.A.Launches [BLACKFRIARS PRESENT PROGRAM
OF ONE-ACT PLAYS SATURDAY

Budget Campaign

Juniors Lead in Beginning

The Y. W. GC. A. budget campaign
this year, under the leadership of
Virginia Sevier, treasurer, was un-
usually successful.

On Monday evening a stunt was
given in which Louise Sherfesee rep-
resented the Y. W. C. A., who was so
weak from lack of financial support
that she was on the verge of fainting,
when Florence Perkins, the budget,
came along and called all her little
dollars to the rescue. Y. W. C. A,,
therefore, became quite well and hap-
py again with plenty of strength to
start work.

A representative from each class
spoke in chapel Tuesday morning, Oc-
tober 20, urging the support of the
Y. W. C. A. budget and challenging
her class to have the largest percent
of pledges. Virginia Sevier intro-
duced these girls, who were: Elaine
Jacobsen, of the freshman class; Janet
McDonald, president of the sophomore
class; Martha Crowe, president of the
junior class; Sarah Smith, president
of the senior class.

The drive is not closed yet, but the
charts of little thermometers posted
in Main register the following per
cent of pledges from each class, show-
ing the juniors to be ahead: Juniors,
72%; Sophomores, 70%; Freshmen,
59%; Seniors, 50%.

Important
Conference

Student Conference on the
World Court To Be Held
in Atlanta.

Throughout the central states there
is a movement among the student Y.
W. and Y. M. C. A.’s to increase the
interest of the students in the inter-
national affairs. At this time they are
especially stressing the World Court.
As everyone knows, the discussion of
the question of the entrance of the
United States into the World Court
comes before the Senate some time
in November. . Authorities have de-
cided that student opinion would ex-
ert perhaps a great deal of influence
on this decision, which is of interest
to the whole world. A series of stu-
dent conferences are to be held all
over the country to discuss the
World Court. These conferences are
being sponsored by the Council of
Christian Associations, composed of
the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A.’s.

The conference for the students of
Georgia, Alabama, Florida and South
Sarolina will be held in Atlanta No-
vember 6, 7 and 8. Some of the best
speakers in the country will be pres-
ent to give talks on the World Court,
among them the well-known Kirby
Page. We hope the faculty and stu-
dents of Agnes Scott will take an in-
terest in the work, and that a great
many of them will attend the confer-
ence in Atlanta.

A small conference was held in At-
lanta during the week of October 12
to make plans for the big conferences
throughout the South. Among those
active in the conference were Miss
Betty Webb, executive secretary of
the Southern Council of Y. W. C. A.,
and Miss Mary Curtis Foster, chair-
man of the Southern Council.

The Y. W. C. A. at Agnes Scott,
through the World Fellowship Com-
mittee, is beginning a program to
arouse the interest of Agnes Scott
students in the World Court. Infor-
mation concerning the World Court
may be secured from magazines in
the library.

As a part of the program, Mr. Ray
Legate, one of the two secretaries of
the World Student Christian Federa-
tion in America, talked to a small
group of interested students October

Drinkwater Lectures

in New York

John Drinkwater, the famous dra-
matist, who is to lecture at Agnes
Scott and in Atlanta on November 4,
is making a most successful tour of
the country. In New York he was
received with enthusiasm.

Miss Janef Preston, who is study-
ing at Columbia University this year,
heard Drinkwater in New York, and
wrote to Miss Laney a rapturous ac-
count of him and his talk. Not know-
ing that Drinkwater is to be here,
she expressed her desire that Agnes
Scott could hear him. Excerpts from
Miss Preston’s letter are:

“He is good to look upon, and he
reads poetry with a music and a
resonant quality. He was supposed to
talk on drama; but he read some of
his poems first; then talked about art
and the artist, applying what he said
to drama in particular and to his ex-
perience in the creation of ‘Abraham
Lincoln’ especially. He ended by read-
ing choruses from his ‘Abraham Lin-
coln.’ I can’t tell you of the charm
of his person, his voice, his sly humor
that slipped in. He gave me the same
sense of the reality of spirituality
that Mr. Heyward does; and the hour
that I strained from a top. balcony
in New York, I was thinking how
wonderful it would ba to near him in
the Agnes Scott Chapel.”

On the program gotten out by the
New York Chapter of the Goucher
College Alumnae Association, which
presented Mr. Drinkwater in New
York, we find this statement: “Dur-
ing his various American tours, he
(Drinkwater) has impressed his au-
diences by the directness and beauty
of his utterances, and firmly estab-
lished his reputation as a superb lec-
turer.”

Senior Class Will Present
Faculty Take-Off

The Senior Class will present the
Agnes Scott Faculty in a basketball
game that promises to be the most ex-
citing game of the entire season
Thursday night, October 29. The two
teams are commonly known as the
Amoebas and the Morons; and what
they lack in the technique of the game
is made up by the pep and enthusiasm
of the songs and yells. The game,
showing the teachers in an entirely
new light, will not only emphasize the
impressions we already have of the
faculty; but will give “inside dope”
about them that has been all too clev-
erly concealed until now, when the
Seniors are about to make their dar-
ing revelations. Daisy Frances Smith
will referee the game, and the line-up
will be:

MORONS.

Miss Smith, Miss McKinney, For-

wards.

Miss Dexter

Mr, Tart, Running Center.

Miss Randolph, Miss MacDougall,

21. He discussed the work of stu-
dents in other countries and deplored
the ignorance of American students
concerning international affairs. He
declared that the Student Friendship
system is one of the greatest factors
for peace in the world today.

Blackfriars presented its first pro-
gram on the new stage last Saturday
evening, when three one-act plays
were given, “Nevertheless,” “Will 0’
the Wisp,” and “Followers.” The
same group was played at last com-
mencement exercises, but the two
performances are hardly comparable,
as this time the players had all the
advantages of an adequate stage and
spotlights.

“Nevertheless” is an adorable little

child comedy, hinging on the one
word, “Nevertheless,” which tickles
the fancy of the two children con-
!cerned. Martha Crowe and Frances
Freeborn are at their best in juvenile
roles, and Florence Perkins played
her usual villain part with her usual
ability.

“Will o’ the Wisp,” with its weird-
ness and fascination, will always be
a favorite. The new spotlights were
quite effective in producing atmos-
phere. Mary Freeman interpreted the
title role with the grace and ease that
only Mary has; and Isabel Ferguson
25 played the same character that
she had last year, the Poet’s wife.

Emily Stead made an excellent gen-
gleman in the romance, “Followers,”
and Josephine Walker, in the part
Ellen Walker played last spring,
Eloise Harris in Elizabeth Cheatham’s
part, and Sarah Slaughter gave an in-
terpretation as artistic as were the
beautiful colonial. gowns they wore

Hallowe’en.

“The American” has the following
interesting article on Hallowe'en:

“Hallowe’en, or Hallow-Even, the
evening of the 31st of October, so
called as being the eve or vigil of All
Hallows, or festival of All Saints,
which falls on November 1. It is as-
sociated in the popular imagination
with the prevalence of supernatural
influences, and is clearly a relic of
pagan times. In the north of Eng-
land, Hallowe’en is known as Nut-
crack Night. In Scotland the cere-
monies of the eve were formerly re-
garded in a highly superstituous light
and Burns’ Hallowe’en gives a
humorous and highly imaginative pre-
sentment of the usual ceremonies as
practiced in Scottish rural districts in
his day. The principal object of cu-
riosity in consulting the future was
to discover who should be the partner
in life. “Popular belief ascribed to
children born on Hallowe’en the fac-
ulty of perceiving and holding con-
verse with supernatural being.”

Queer, isn’t it, that we living near-
ly two thousand years after pagan
times, should commemorate a cus-
tom whose significance has long since
passed away ?

But the Seniors
anyway.

are queer people,
Therefore, they are going
to entertain the college community at
a Hallowe’en party this Saturday
night in the new gym. Ghosts and
other supernatural spirits of the air
will be there; and maybe a few ap-
ples and nuts, too.

The Reverend Mr. Marvin Pharr, a
former ministerial student of Mercer,
hails from Atlanta, Ga. He had al-
ways been on friendly terms with
“The Mercer Chester,’ "he states, until
the astounding appearance of the fol-
lowing jingle:

“Here lies poor Marvin Pharr,
But waste on him no pity;
He’s talking to some freshmen

And his lies are rather witty.”

Because of this, which appeared in
connection with jokes in The Chester,
that paper is facing a suit which is
calling forth comment from all over
the country.

That Mr. Pharr should take offense
at the jingle published with harmless
intent, seriously concerned the staff.
A meeting was promptly called, and
it was decided that the suit would be
contested. Such a demand on a col-
lege publication would almost drain
its account—if not leave it in debt.
Carey O. Prichard, business manager
of The Chester, believes that, in gen-
eral, proof that the alleged libelous
statement is true is complete defense.
He states: “It seems that we should
have no difficulty proving that Mr.
Pharr had lied to some Freshmen,
but also that his lies were rather
witty.”

The greater importance that is at-
tached to this case is the effect the

SHALL WE LOSE OUR PRIVILEGES

When the faculty and officers of Agnes Scott agreed to estab-
Ish a system of student government on our campus, they did so
with the faith that college girls would feel deeply the responsibil-
ity of making laws and of living up to them. The students have
indeed made laws carefully and obtained privileges which they
otherwise would never have had; but the problem lies in keeping
these laws. Just now, we are on the verge of losing two privi-

leges, from the abuse of them: the privilege of visiting after
lights, and the Senior privilege of keeping lights on.

It was not without much effort that Student Government suc-

ceeded in acquiring the privilege

only about the third year of its existence, and it seems, from the
present outlook, that it will be the last.
other’s romos, and stay all hours of the night; they talk loudly,
without even thinking of closing the doors: they even go into
rooms where girls are sleeping, and arouse them. Senior rooms,
being illuminated, are especially noisy at nights.

The Senior light privilege is being grossly abused.
Seniors think nothing of keeping their lights on until midnight,
Perhaps it is the reaction from all
these years they have sat and talked in darkness after lights;
but one would certainly think that Seniors would have the dis-
cretion to know when to go to bed, Also, Seniors allow under-
classmen to come into their rooms and study until long past elev-
en, forgetting, we hope, that they (the Seniors) are on their
honor not to do so. The Senior class is in grave danger of having
its most cherished privilege taken away.

decision will have upon college pub-
liecations, Such a suit challenges the
freedom of the college press. If such
damages could be collected by Mr.
Pharr for one innocent jingle, could
not each student whose names ap-
peared in such a connection, likewise
enter suits, and with equal justifica-
tion? College papers would then be
forced to omit the spicy items which
add such life and jest to the publica-
tions.

The “Mercer Chester” has the sup-
port of the “Agonistic”’ during the
legal controversy, not only because of
the absurdity of the demand and basis
for the suit, but also because of what
the decision concerning such a case
will mean to college publications at
large.

Pi Alpha Phi Meets

Pi Alpha Phi held its regular week-:
ly meeting last Thursday, at which
time the following subject was de-
bated: “Resolved, That the coal in-
dustry should be placed under a com-
mission similar to the interstate com-
merce commission.” Louisa White,
Edith Strickland and Courtney Wil-
kinson, affirmative, opposed Grace
Zachry, Helen Lewis, and Janet Mac-
Donald, the latter winning the de-
cision,

After the meeting the
Council met briefly to discuss the
challenge of the Emory Debating
Team to the Agnes Scott Team. but
no decision was reached.

Debating

K. U. B. Meets

Evelyn Wood was presented for
initiation at the last meeting of K.
U. B., as she had not been able to
attend the regular initiations. Glibly,
as only Evelyn could, she debated on
both sides of the question:

Affirmative: “Resolved, That the
soil of France is green.”

Negative: “Resolved, That I am
more foolish than I seem.”

K. U. B. has set as the regular time
for its meetings every other Thurs-
day, from five to six. The place will
be Propylean Hall.

Bacon-Bat Enjoyed by
Faculty

A most delightfully informal affair
was the bacon-bat enjoyed by the fac-
ulty last Saturday afternoon. It was
held at Stepfinger Creek, and the us-
ual pienie, bacon, coffee, and sand-
wiches, together with an abundance of
good cheer, was provided. We are
told that the faculty almost forgot
that it had to be dignified!

This is one of the annual customs
of the college, and has always proved
a means of furthering friendship and
stimulating interest among the fac-
ulty. Its primary object is to wel-
come the new teachers to Agnes Scott,
in whose honor it is given by the new
teachers of last year.

An interesting department of the
Queen’s Blues, the weekly publication
of Queen’s College, consists of brief
paragraphs concerning the most im-
portant national and _ international
events of the week. This is an ad-
mirable addition to the paper.

“Ma” Ferguson Under Fire
Will “Ma” Ferguson suffer the same
political fate as her husband? Oppo-
nents of the Texas woman governor
are threatening to institute an inves-
tigation into the “exorbitant” sums
spent by the state highway commis-
sion during her term of office. Mrs.
Ferguson’s administration is arousing
nation wide interest because she is
the first woman governor, and she
was elected on a platform directly
opposing the Ku Klux Klan. In view
of the present investigation it is in-
teresting to remember that her hus-
band, who was governor of Texas in
1917, was impeached and disfran-
chised by the state legislature for mis-
appropriation of state funds.

The Income Tax Is to Be Reduced

Secretary of the Treasury Mellon,
appearing before the Ways and Means
Committee of the House last week,
proposed, on behalf of the depart-
meent, a tax reduction of 25 per cent.
The technicalities of the question re-
main to be decided, but it is to be
hoped that the Committee will co-
operate with President Coolidge in his
desire for economy.

Miss Jackson: ‘Miss White, please
define the word purgatory for us.”

Lillian White (thoughtfully): “Pur-
gatory is the state of having more
than one wife or husband.”

DuBose Heywood Publishes
Novel, “Porgy”

The appearance of “Porgy,” by
DuBose Heyward, published by the
George H. Doran Company, is of in-
terest to all literary circles, but espe-
cially so to the old students of Agnes
Scott who feel as if they know the
author intimately, having had him
as well as his charming wife, as their
guests for a week last spring. “Porgy”
was presented in three installments
in the Bookman before its publica-
tion,

“Mr. Heyward, in the character of
‘Porgy,” has succeeded in portraying
the primitive soul of the uneducated
American negro. A simple creature,
this old beggar yet becomes involved
in a drama of love, jealousy and mur-
der. Irony, tragedy, bubbling humor
are used with telling effect in a story
that shifts from the bizarre comedy
of a negro funeral and picnic, through
scenes of terrifying violence, to a
description of a hurricane that is
Conradian in its sweep.

“Already well known as a poet, this
native of Charleston, member of an
old Southern family, writes of his city
of blossoms and memories with ten-
derness as well as frankness, and of
the negro with kindly detachment
and understanding.”

The book bears the simple inserip-
tion:

“For
Dorothy Heyward.”

Its preface is the following poem:
“Porgy, Maria, and Bess,

Robbins, and Peter, and Crown;

Life was a three-stringed harp

Brought from the woods to town,

“Marvelous tunes you rang
From passion, and death,
birth,
You who had laughed and wept
On the warm, brown lap of the
earth,

and

“Now in your untried hands
An instrument terrible, new,
Is thrust by a master who frowns,
Demanding strange songs of you.

“God of the White and Black,
Grant us hearts on the way
That we m&y understand
Until you have learned to play.”

“Al” Says He’s Leaving

At a luncheon in New York last
week Governor “Al” Smith announced
his intention of retiring from public
life at the end of his present term.
This announcement came as a com-
plete surprise to his friends. He stood
a splendid chance for re-election as
governor of the Empire State, and
such a position would have made him
a formidable contender for the Dem-
ocratic Presidential nomination in
1928. In his two terms he has done
brilliant work and is one of the most
capable governors that New York has
ever had.

Quaker Hospitality

Philadelphia hospitality is almost
as far-famed as the renowned hos-
pitality of the South. It will have a
chance to display itself fully next
summer when the Sesquicentennial
International Exposition is held in
that city and hundreds of thousands
of visitors from all parts of the world

will be its guests.

The hospitality
dates back to the days when the city
was a Quaker settlement. The early

settlers showed truly in the spirit of ?
brotherly love, and the residents to- —

day take pride in trying to outdo
their predecessors when it comes to
being courteous and neighborly.

There was a peculiar charm in the
friendliness of the Quakers which
gives pride to Philadelphians. The
charm is increased by the prim, pic-
turesque plainness of the early set-
tlers. This love of simplicity is re-
flected in the architecture of many of
the Quaker meeting houses which re-
main standing today in spite of the
fact that, in some cases, they were
erected when Pennsylvania was a
British colony.

The largest of these is at Fourth
and Arch streets. It is typically
plain. The four walls are of unem-
bellished red brick, and the roof is
gabled, like so many buildings that
had their origin in Colonial times.
The interior is a picture in grey and
brown and time-dulled white. Wide
window sills, straight-backed pews

and wooden pegs in the walls for hats —

give a touch of serenity that is im-
pressing.

The typical Quaker is credited with
having had much common sense in

of Philadelphia —

spite of his reputation for generous —

hospitality. A story of a man who
went to a Quaker friend for advice
in buying a horse reflects the almost
gruff brevity of their speech.

“T want a horse,” said the man,
“that must not cost much, but which

shall be nice and quiet for mother to —

drive out with and take rides in the
afternoon, one broken to the saddle
so that I may go back riding in the
morning, one that is strong enough to
draw the carriage when we go to
church, a horse that can be equipped
to draw a load of hay and that could
be used to go back and forward to
market. Can you tell me where I can
find such a horse?”

“No,” said the Quaker, quietly. “I
know of no such horse, but as thee
looks for one why dost thee not get
one that is also a good milker?”

During the Revolutionary War the
Quakers of Philadelphia distinguished
themselves not only in the army, but
also in the services they rendered in
the Continental Congress and in giv-
ing financial aid to the nation at the
most critical period in its history.

Robert Morris, who superintended
the finances of the revolution, was a
Quaker.

teenth Gentury Customs.”)

Industrial Athletic Meets
_ During Sesqui Greatest
Ever Held

7000 Men and Women Employes of
Railroads Will Take Part
in One Event.

Philadelphia, October

Three athletic spectacles, the great-
est ever arranged anywhere in the
world, will be staged at the Sesqui-
centennial International Exposition
which will open on June 1, 1926. There
will be the three Industrial meets to
be held under the direction of John T,
Coleman, chairman of the Industrial
Sports Committee of the Sesquicen-
tennial. Mr. Coleman is Director of
Athletics for the Pennsylvania Rail-
road and the monster meet held in
Altoona on September 26 was under
his management.

One meet, the finals for the entire
Pennsylvania Railroad System, will
be held in Philadelphia, and it will
bring here more than 7000 men and
women athletes of various kinds, and
there is no doubt that at least 50,000
spectators will attend.

Following this meet will be an
even larger gathering of the athletic
clans in a meeting open to all the
railroads of the country. This again
will be followed by another gigantic
industrial meet, open to all the in-
dustrial establishments of the coun-
try, in which classification the rail-
roads also are included.

Much Already Done

Much work already has been done
by Mr. Coleman on this series of in-
dustrial meets. Rules broadcast over
the country haye been adopted by all
the railroads and many of the largest
industrial concerns. The events thus
far arranged are the same as those
on the program for the final meet of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, track and
field athletics, swimming, golf, ten-
nis, baseball, quoits, horseshoes, trap
shooting and rifle shooting.

The men will take part in all these

-|at Evelyn Josephs—her mother has

been here for two whole weeks! And
Julia Eve is going to Athens—Athens
and all that it connotes. But I shall
get Miss Bland to take me to Chris-
tian Endeavor, and maybe I will meet
my fate there—like Ruth McDonald.

Did you ask whether the Freshmen
had improved? Well, even wood is
silghtly absorbent—so they are not
altogether as bad as they were. But
there are some in Main who are so
innocent as the new born hair on Mr.
Stukes’ head. I believe it was Evelyn
Wood who took her flashlight into the
bath room after lights and had her
roommate focus it on her stockings
while she washed them. But we need
not bother about her identification—
Exec attended to that! However, I
am more concerned about the one who
defined purgatory as “the state of
having many wives.”

So you see the usual state of af-
fairs prevails at Agnes Scott. Ethel
Redding is still having dates with the
auburn-haired Greek god. And noth-
ing so radical as Clarkie’s coming out
of the fog has happened. Yesterday
she went to gym and when Miss ‘Ran-
dolph told the class to rest, Clarkie
took a nap. Fifteen minutes later she
woke up to find the class over and the
gym empty.

Giddie, do you know Frank Tucker?
No, not the one who sang for his sup-
per—but the one who goes to Emory?
If you don’t know him, Bean Skeen
and Mary Smith will inform you.
Well, he is sort of like the Freshmen:
even after much coming to Agnes
Seott, he has a warped idea of A. S&S.
C.’s methods. Yesterday he called up
to know if anybody here called him!

But the crowning event of the week
was the Sophomore party given in
honor of the Black Cat. A_ three-
piece orchestra furnished musie while
we tripped the light fantastic—each
performing her own particular ver-
sion of the Charleston. During the
intermission, we drank punch and
clinked to the health and happiness of
Mr. U. B. Ratty. Seven-thirty was
all too soon for us to return to the
perusal of Beowulf and The Green
Knight. But—yes sir, that’s our kitty
now.

in swimming, track and field, golf and

These meetings will be the largest
in number of competitors ever ar-
ranged in this or any other country
and most of them will be staged in
the Sesqui Stadium, the largest in the
world, seating 100,000 with room for
100,000 more.

Women to Play Hockey

A national field hockey tournament
for women will be held in the immense
stadium of the Sesquicentennial In-

‘ternational Exposition.

Mrs. E. B. Krumbhaar and Miss
Annie Townsend, members of the
American team that went abroad last
year to engage in the international
matches, at a conference with Dr.
George W. Orton, Director of Sesqui-
centennial Sports, arranged the Sesqui
hockey program. Miss Townsend is
captain of the Merion Hockey team.

The Hockey Committee of the Ses-
quicentennial Exposition named and
headed by Mrs. Krumbhaar, will di-
rect the hockey tournament scheduled
for November, 1926.

An English hockey team which will
compete in the national tournament
will afterwards play a team picked
from American women’s club. This
match also will be staged in the Stad-

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR,

Centennial of Decatur Presbyterian
Church—New Gymnasium is
Scene of Beautifu! Pageant

One hundred years have passed
since the founding of the Decatur
First Presbyterian Church, and the
centennial was duly celebrated during
the past week. Special sermons morn-
ing and evening of last Sunday and
an exhibit of valuable relics commem-
orated the date, but the all-important
event was the historic pageant on the
evening of October 27.

The new Bucher Scott gymnasium
was the scene of this really beautiful
pageant, presented entirely by the
amateur talent of the church. In
eight episodes, covering the period
from the time of the Indian migra-
tions and the Spanish invasion up un-
til the present day, were seen the
spiritual and temporal development of
the church, the building and organ-
izing, and the inauguration of such
unheard-of institutions as feminine
Sunday School teachers, prohibition,
and matches. Parts of the play called
forth, as Dr. MeGeachy had suggest-
ed, “a smile, or more than a smile,”
but the whole was inspirational and
worthy to be a work “of love and de-
votion” to a great Christian cause.

Especially interesting to the Agnes
Scott girls was Episode Six, which,
in two scenes, showed the founding
and growth of Agnes Scott College.
The first seene was unique and quite
laughable, with our own Martha
Crowe and Josephine Walker taking
leading roles; while the second scene,
with its finale of Alma Mater, was
uplifting, setting forth again our
lofty ideal.

The costuming and stage settings of
the entire pageant were especially
noteworthy. They would have been
a credit to even A professional per-
formance, for they were realistic,
varied, and very effective. In fact,
to the people of the Decatur Presby-
terian Church is due much credit for
a pageant which was not only beau-
tiful and instructive but really in-
spiring. It was a hymn of praise to
the God who has made possible the
past progress and who will make pos-
sible even greater achievement in the
future,

Dr. McCain
Addresses K.U.B.

The address of Dr. McCain to the
members of K. U.. B., the journalistic
club, on the afternoon of October 29,
proved itself a source of great in-
spiration as well as pleasure.

His subject was “Problems of Pub-
licity,” and as an introduction, he
stressed the importance of K. U. B. as
an advertising medium for Agnes
Scott, College advertising, as such,
has gone out of style. No longer is
it considered ethical to advertise in
any form of literature, except in the
church paper which is expected.
Hence, the news story is worth much
from a commercial point of view.

The question, however, of what the
newspapers want is one of the prob-
lems in this work. To give them news,
but nothing that savors of advertis-
ing, is an art. Feature stories are
the most popular with the newspapers,
being reprinted all over the country.
Dr. MeCain stated that during the
ten years of his connection with the
college there have been two stories
which swept over the country. The
first was an article concerning the
fire fighting squad, accompanied by a
picture of some of the girls on a fire
engine; the second, the marriage of
Miss Mary Breedlove, a senior of
last year.

In spite of the demand for feature
stories, however, they are not of the
type of publicity desired by the col-
lege. What we want is the news story
containing an adequate but not exag-
gerated account of what Agnes Scott
really is and has.

Why do we want publicity? Be-
cause all over the country there are
people who are interested in us. It

Local Presentation of
World Court Ques-

tion.

Stunt and Ta:ks Feature
Program

In accor tance with the general stu-
dent moveiment that ‘s sweeping over
the United States, and especially in
anticipation of the +onference to be
held in Atlanta Novernber 6, 7, and 8,
for students of tne southeastern
states, the Y. W.. (2. A. of Agnes
Seott is beginning a program to in-
sure the interest of -he student body
in the World Court question. Pos-
ters, advocating the World Court have
been put on the buletin boards, and
a special shelf has keen set aside in
the library for book: and magazines
containing informatié1 on the subject.

Tuesday night, October 27, a stunt
given in the chapel started the pro-
gram off by arousin;’ interest in the
movement. The scen: was a meeting
of Senate in which tie subject of the
World Court was réised, after the
necessary preliminar es by Chairman
Dawes (Carolyn Essi<) and the Clerk
of the Senate (Virginia Carrier).
There was a heated d2bate among the
Senators with Senat» Copeland of
New York (Emily ‘Yangsbury) and
Senator George of (corgia (Louisa
Duls) upholding the affirmative, and
Senator Johnson of C:lifornia (Janet
McDonald) and Senator Borah of
Idaho (Florence Perkins) on the neg-
ative. When the speeches had finally
been. made, after 1 -uant interrup-
tions by a messenger boy (Miriam
Anderson) bearing telegrams from all
parts of the country with views on all
phases of the subject, the Senate took
a vote on whether or not the United
States should enter the World Court.
The result was a tie. Then the Chair-
man, realizing that membership in the
World Court would be a decided ad-
vantage to the United States, and de-
siring to uphold the usual policy of
the Senate, cast his deciding vote in
favors of the negative.

But the serious presentation of the
movement did not take place until
Wednesday morning, October 28, at
the regular chapel period. Jack An-
derson presided and briefly outlined
the movement all over the country
and also our smaller program here at
Agnes Scott. Then Mrs. Sydenstricker
gave a talk on the moral side of the
question, quoting the opinions of vari-
ous prominent educators in America.
Mrs. Sydenstricker herself, while on
her trip to the East this summer, at-
tended the Opium Court at Geneva
and gave us a very interesting .ac-
count of the proceedings. Especially
were we interested in the fact that
the court was presided over by a wom-
an—the only woman who was a mem-
ber of the court. Catherine Graeber
told us briefly of the organization
and policy of the World Court, how it
was managed, who were eligible for
membership, our former tentative
plans for entrance into the court, and
who were the companions of the
United States outside of the court.
Olivia Swann gave us the practical
workings of the court, citing instances
when great problems had been solved,
and showing that in practice as well
as in theory the World Court is the
essential step to world peace.

is partly to let these old friends know
of the progress that Agnes Scott is
making. But that is not the only rea-
sen. We want to gain new friends.
These will inevitably come when peo-
ple are attracted to and interested
in news items of what is happening
here.

K. U. B., therefore, being the only
method of advertising used by the
college, holds a very real place in its
life as a means of making Agnes
Scott universally known.

Calendar for
November

The college calendar for the month
of November promises us many in-
teresting and unusual events.

On November 4, we are very for-
tunate in having John Drinkwater,
the famous dramatist, with us. Mr,
Drinkwater has the reputation of be-
ing a very interesting speaker, and
we are sure that each one will profit
by attending his lecture.

We are looking forward to Hoasc
Stunt Night on the 7th of November.

The Mercer Glee Club will be here
on November 14, an always pleasur-
able event.

On the 17th of November, the in-
vestiture ceremony will take place—
an occasion much looked forward to
by the whole student body, as well as
the lucky Seniors.

November 21 has been set aside by
the Seniors for something, the nature
of which has not yet been made pub-
lic.

As November 25 is Miss Anna
Young’s birthday, the alumnae intend
to celebrate in honor of the occasion.

On November 28, the Blackfriars
hold sway once more with a series of
short plays.

Certainly each girl in college will
find something in the next month’s
program that will be especially inter-
esting to her.

Misses Davis, Jackson and
Torrence Entertain

Misses Davis, Jackson, and Tor-
rence, who are living off campus this
year on Avery street, entertained
Thursday night at an informal dinner
for Dr. and Mrs. McCain, and Miss
Hopkins.

An open fire added much cheer to
the dining room, where the table was

attractively decorated with Hallowe’en |

colors and favors. The conversation,
a mixture of wisdom and wit, and the
delightful four-course dinner consti-
tuted the chief sources of entertain-
ment for the evening, enjoyed equally
by guests and hostesses.

John Drinkwater
Gives Lecture at
Agnes Scott

Speaks on Abraham Lincoln
as Subject for Dramatists

John Drinkwater, the famous Eng-
lish dramatist, poet and essayist, who
is revisiting this country for a brief
tour, has arranged to lecture at Agnes
Scott on Wednesday, Nov. 4th. His
subject will be “What Lincoln Means
to the Dramatist.”

In recent years Mr. Drinkwater has
become widely known as the author
of three notable plays, “Abraham Lin-
coln,” “Robert E. Lee,” and “Mary
Stuart.” Although he is still in his
thirties he not only holds a foremost
position among English dramatists
but is recognized as the leader of the
younger generation of English poets.
Lately he has enhanced an already
brilliant reputation by editing “The
Outline of Literature,” which ranks
with H. G. Wells’ “Outline of His-
| tory,” and has been adopted as au-
thoritative in every English-speaking
land,

Mr. Drinkwater, for some years
past, has met with distinct success on
the lecture platform. Naturally gifted
as a speaker, he has had the advan-
tage of wide experience on the stage,
and was formerly manager of the
Birmingham Reportory Theatre. His
training as an actor lends a distinct
charm to his lectures and readings of
his own verse. On his previous tours
he aroused a remarkable degree of
jenthusiasm wherever he appeared, and
on several occasions was requested to
repeat his lectures for the benefit of
large numbers who had been unable
to secure even standing room. Among
the important gatherings that he ad-
dressed were those at Springfield, Il-
linois, the home of Lincoln, and at
Harvard, Yale and other leading uni-
versities,

On his last visit a writer in one of
the New York papers described Mr.
Drinkwater as being of the almost
perfect lecture-hero type. He is, in
fact, tall, dark and virilely handsome,

and whether he reads his poems or |
| water will devote his lectures to poe-

speaks extemporaneously his voice is
musical and his pronunciation perfect.
As a speaker he is remarkably free
from English mannerisms.

Formal Opening of
Swimming Pool

The formal opening of the swim-

|ming pool was held last Wednesday

night with the presentation of a love-
ly water pageant and with the added
attraction of Virginia Ashe who is
the Southern girls’ swimming cham-
pion.

All around the pool were the gay-
colored tokens of autumn, making the
scene of the pageant quaintly wood-
like. Narcissa, the heroine, was a
wood sprite who scorned the love of
a mortal hunter, so that when she
at last wanted him, he would not
marry her and she drowned herself
in the crystal depths of the lake.

The cast of the pageant was:

Mildred Morrow—Narcissa.

Corrie Carter—The Hunter.

Lila Porcher—Peter Pan,

Wood Sprites—Christine Wolfe,
Emily Cope, Alice Weicheslbaum.

Frogs—Mary Ansley, Hilda Kal-
mon.

Water Nymphs.

In addition to this the local talent
showed what it could do with various
diving stunts. Those doing this were
Della Stone, Hilda Kalmon, and Dade
Warfield.

But the crowning event of the night
was the appearance of Miss Ashe. She
executed several different strokes, in-
cluding the crawl, and showed how
they were supposed to be done. An
interesting fact about her is that she
came second to winning the world’s
record for the hundred yard dash.

A common charge brought against exclusively girls’ colleges

is that the aforesaid girls are prone to carelessness of dress;
except, of course, on such nights as those in which they have

“eompany in the parlor,” popularly known as “dates.” It seems
to us that to make such an admission would be to add too much

to the already abnormal conceit of the male sex. And yet, such
seems almost the case.

Almost any morning girls may be seen at the breakfast table
with tousled hair, half-washed countenances, and clothes looking
as though they had been flung on in two minutes (very probably
they had). Even at dinner, there are some, though few we are
glad to say, who have neglected to obliterate the inky stains of
four classes. They seem totally oblivious of the fact that it was
chiefly to promote interest in good appearance that the hour of
the main meal has been moved from mid-day to evening.

Neat and tasteful dressing is a matter of etiquette, pure and
simple. No one would think of offending the people at her table
by such ugly habits as cutting lettuce with her knife or reaching
half the length of the table for jam, no more should she think of
offending them by an untidy appearance. Dressing has, more-
over, a moral and psychological side. The art of dressing taste-
fully is a simple problem of aesthetics; and all beauty, whether
in a dress, features, a sunset, or a noble life, is uplifting. From
a psychological point of view, neat dressing is most beneficial.
To begin the day with an orderly outward appearance is to estab-
lish a tendency for that day toward orderly mental functioning;
and to freshen one’s clothes for dinner is to freshen one’s mind
for the activities of the evening.

There is one other matter of outward appearance which is
apt to be abused by the college girl, and that is the use of cos-
metics. Powder to remove the would-be shine, and rouge to give
a natural color, the artificiality of which is imperceptible, may
be defended. Beyond these limits, the use of cosmetics is vulgar,
a maming rather than a beautifying habit.

In short, let us remember that teaching beauty taste, refine-
ment in dress is not the meanest advantage a college education
may offer its votives.

Methodist Girls Entertained

The Woman’s Missionary Society of
the Decatur Methodist church extend-
ed a most generous invitation to all
Methodist girls attending Agnes
Scott, for Friday afternoon, October
30. Cars were ready at 2:30 o’clock
to take the girls on a delightful drive
to Roswell, Georgia, where a visit was
made to Bulloch Hall, the former home
of Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt.

On the return to Decatur, the girls
were taken to the home of Dr. and
Mrs, C. E. Patillo on Clairmont ave-
nue, and were joined by other Agnes
Seott girls who had not been able to
go to ride, but had been invited to
enjoy the weiner roast at Dr. Patillo’s
at about four-thirty,

The girls returned to their work
loud in their praises of the hospital-
ity of the Methodist women and grate-
ful for the lovely time they had been
given.

Columbia Seminary

Students Sing
In Chapel

Tuesday morning the college com-
munity had the pleasure of hearing
four representatives from Columbia
Seminary sing. These four young
men were here for the Decatur Pres-
byterian Church Centennial.

Many of the girls had heard them
sing at church on Sunday, and many
others were going to hear them sing
at the exercises in the gym Tuesday
night. Still, few felt that it was an
opportunity they could afford to miss.

They presented a program of va-
ried selections, and, although their
spokesman, Mr. Marshall Dendy, said
that they were mere amateurs, their
singing was excellent, and showed
great talent. Among the songs they
sang were their “Alma Mater,”
“Sweet Marguerite,” -‘Ain’t Gonna
Study War No More,” “Gasoline

INTERCOLLEGIATE NEWS |

The “Green” Davidsonian was cee
of the cleverest and most interesting
papers that the Agonistic has receiv-
ed. It was dedicated to the Class of
29, was printed in bright green ink,
and contained not only the regular
weekly news, but such features as
would be of especial interest to Fresh-
men, giving such features primary
consideration.

An editorial which appeared in this
edition of the Davidsonian rings so
true a note, and so coincides with sug-
gestions that have been made by our
faculty that we take pleasure in re-
printing it:

FRESHMEN

Freshmen reading this issue of
The Davidsonian will do well to try
to visualize the four years of college
life that lies before them. To them
those years will seem long, as they
are only on the bottom rungs of the
ladder. But ask any Senior, and he
will tell you that the past few years
spent at Davidson has been short in-
deed.

It is a sad fact that one rarely ap-
preciates opportunities and privileges
until he has passed them. What a
tremendous power it would be for us
if we could realize the importance of
grasping an opportunity while it is
still young.

The men of the class of ‘29 have
these years ahead of them to use for
their profit or disadvantage. For it
is a disadvantage for one to drift
aimlessly through college, with no
definite purpose in mind, seeking the
path of least resistance and putting
all thoughts of the future aside.

The men who succeed are those
who carefully map out a definite pro-
gram of work and play; a studied
plan of progress which can be en-
gaged upon with profit to him that
is concerned.

Certain hours for study, recreation
and exercise each day, and a definite
plan for the future and concentra-
tion, will make the life of any fresh-
man what his parents would like it
to be.

We see from “The Watchtower” that
work on the Greater Wesleyan will
begin in June, 1926. The work is to
be completed and the new buildings,
eight in number, to be ready for use
at the opening of the fall term of
1927-1928, according to the plans out-
lined and adopted by the Board of
Trustees.

The Rivoll plant is to be designed
for the accommodation of 700 stu-
dents, 500 boarding and 200 town
students. The new plant will be a
college of Liberal Arts and Sciences,
while the present plant will be con-
verted into a college of Fine Arts and
Conservatory of Music, with accom-
modations for 500 students. Dr. W.
F. Quillian, president, predicts that
the college will have an enrollment of
1,200 and $3,000,000 assets by 1930.

Macon has been asked to subscribe
half a million dollars of the million
necessary before the work of con-
struction can be begun. $400,000 has
been secured. Dr. Quillian, in appeal-
ing for support from Macon citizens,
said:

“This glorious, greater Wesleyan is
almost a reality. It will be, if the
small remaining amount of $60,000
can be raised. We are too near to
fail,”

Agnes Scott wishes Wesleyan the
best success in this drive.

“The Emory Wheel” is enthusiastic
over the forthcoming resurrection of
the Phoenix, under the auspices of the
literary fraternity, Sigma Upsilon.
The aim of the organization is to
promote literary talent at Emory, and
make of the Phoenix a real publica-
tion of literary merit. We hope they
continue to stand by these ideals.

The first issue of the Phoenix will
contain an article by Miss Nan Ste-
phens, head of our own Department
of Playwriting, entitled “The Peter-
boro Colony.” This colony was found-
ed by Mrs. MacDowell, in memory of
Edward MacDowell for artists and
musicians. Agnes Scott students will
recall Dubose Hayward’s interesting
talk on the Peterboro Colony, given
during his stay at the college last
spring.

Eunice Kell, ’25, writes enthusias-
tically of her sixth grade in Pasa-
goula, Miss., but she misses her noisy
Freshmen in main. She will be here

to be student guests.

We wish to extend our sincere sym-
pathy to Annie Barnes Johnson be-
cause of the death of her father.

Granddaughter Society Or-
ganized

The Granddaughter Society, com-
posed of those girls whose mothers
attended Agnes Scott, held its first
meeting Tuesday, October 27. The
purpose of the organization is to keep
in touch with the girls who have left
college, and in its own particular way
to bind more closely together those
that are still here. A scrapbook is
to be kept by the club for the collection
of articles of interest relative to its
purpose. Mrs. Sydenstricker has
been asked to be the faculty member.
The society is to have a full page

Vocational Guidance
Work—Talk By
Polly Stone.

“What not to do and how not to do
it” was the keynote of a very interest-
ing talk by Miss Polly Stone, Alum-
nae Secretary, on the work of the Vo-
cational Guidance Committee given in
chapel last Friday. She explained the
reasons why we were in college: the
Freshmen because they graduated
from High School last June and the
cotton crop was good, the Sophomores
because they passed history and Latin
prose, the Juniors because they passed
English XI, and the Seniors because
they have been here three years al-
ready. But the question was, “What
are you going to do after you gradu-
ate?” She excluded the girls who
were going to marry and those who
were going to stay at home from the
work of the Vocational Guidance
Committee, and said that it dealt
mainly with the work of those who
wanted a career in order that it might
find out definitely what course and
training would be needful to such a
career.

Miss Stone quoted from Dr. Arm-
istead, “We must see the big things
big and the little things little.” This
she applied to the work of college
graduates, most of whom teach be-
cause it is perhaps the easiest thing
to do, and at any rate, assures a
comfortable vacation. This, however,
she stated, should not be the case, as
these are not the essentials of a life
work, but a position of lesser remun-
eration would be better if it offered
the purpose toward which one is striv-
ing. She mentioned the fact that
seventy-five per cent of the women
who are working are not fitted for
the first job they take up, thus caus-
ing an enormous waste of time and
money,

The Alumnae Association sent out
questionaires from which they re-
ceived two hundred and seventy-two
answers. In regard to their work it
was found that one hundred and ten
are homemakers, ninety are teachers,
ten in Y. W. C. A. work, eight are
doing library work, eight are in busi-
ness, six doing church work, four do-
ing secretarial work, and several are
nurses, reporters, bank tellers, music
teachers, probation officers, and bac-
teriologists. Those who desire to
change are thirty-eight, those who
are going on in their work are one
hundred and eighty, and those who
are undecided number four. Seventy
per cent want to change to unknown,
one hundred and sixteen would have
liked guidance in school, seventy-eight
desire vocational guidance now, and
twenty do not desire it.

The larger colleges now have voca-
tional counsellors and speakers. Ag-
nes Scott hopes to have these, and
the Vocational Guidance Committee,
composed of the Vocational Depart-
ment of the Y. W. C. A. and the com-
mittee of the Alumnae Association,
has at its aim to help each student
find that particular work in which she
will be both successful and happy,
and direct her courses accordingly.

Smith, Caroline McKinney, Della
Stone, Lillian LeConte, Holly Smith.

Meetings will be held every second
Tuesday at five o’clock.

Amoebas Are Victor-
ious Over Morons.

Faculty Take Off

Great Success.

If some little unsuspecting Fresh-
man had peeped thru the door of the
chapel Thursday night she would
have seen an unusual display of ex-
citement among the various dignified
faculty members. A good, peppy bas-
ketball game was in full swing, ref-
ereed by Daisy Frances Smith. The
two teams, composed entirely of fac-
ulty members, were evenly matched,
with Miss Dexter captain of the Mo-
rons and Dr. McCain captain of the
Amoebas. The little Freshman would
have been startled very much indeed’
to have seen the great athletic abil-
ity of the faculty, heretofore cleverly
concealed from the college commun-
ity.

The game progressed with great
rapidity until Mr. Stukes received a
rather hard blow that knocked him
out entirely. It seemed as if Dr.
Sweet would be unable to revive him,
but the fates were good: Mrs. Stukes
was among the throng of spectators
and with her help it was possible for
him to regain consciousness. After
this short interruption the game con-
tinued without either team scoring
until Miss Hopkins with the greatest
ease, dropped the coveted ball into the
basket, thus winning the game for
the Amoebas. Cheers went up from
all sides as Miss Hopkins was car-
ried from the chapel on the shoulders
of her admirers.

If the little Freshman had looked
twice she would have seen the real
faculty members seated quietly in the
back of the chapel calmly looking on.
Yes, of course, it was “faculty take
off.” It was so cleverly done and the
faculty members so well impersonated
that a continuous roar of laughter
came from the onlookers from the be-
ginning to the end of the game,

Just before the opening of the game
Sarah Smith read a clever prologue.
This was followed by songs and yells
from the clashing teams. The teams
were made up of the following:

Giddie Gossip

In spite of gym and English XI I
am still hanging on, still seeing only
the obvious and still failing to think
deeply in Bible Class. And I am still
going to classes like I was being paid
for it. Honest, Giddie, if I should get
an unexpected cut—like Miss Hearon’s
history 205 class did Tuesday I would
“go on my way rejoicing and be happy
because of it.”

But in spite of her unfortunate ten-
dency toward classes and study, Agnes
Scott is getting quite worldy. We
even have a pool room—and are bold
enough to advertise it on the main
bulletin board. I think Miss Randolph
is connected with it some way, though

I have never seen her shoot any pool.

Giddie, Daisy Frances Smith seems
to think Agnes Scott is a school for
budding young surgeons. The other
day she told Isabel Leonard to look
in her Appendix for the basic princi-
ples—must be a pretty bad case for
a freshman, I would at least advise

that she call in Dr. Sweet. Miss Phy-
thian seems to be something of a doc-
tor herself—at least she can recog-
nize symptoms for she told her class
to get their note books before they
“passed out.” She must have seen
that pale and sickly look on their
faces.

Giddie, they say that a certain room
in Inman is the most romantic spot
in school. Ethel runs a regular floral
shop with the contributions of a cer-
tain titian person, and scarcely has
time even with senior lights to read

his specials. While Verna has a life-
size likeness of a typical shiek that
takes up her half of the bureau.

But I guess there must be some-
| thing of the same kind going on in
Boyd, as Miss Cole admitted to her
innocent class of freshmen that she
got helpful suggestions in the sheik.

My dear, we are all trying to ac-
quire a Charleston brogue. Ellen Ste-
vens can do it perfectly and is the
official instructor, and since we heard
that Tech boys adore it, Clemson falls
for it in a body, the class has grown
so large that she has had to hire
Helen Clark Martin as an assistant.
I have had little luck so far. Maybe
it is not the brogue but just the
Charleston girls they fall for.

Each day of the entire event, which
lasted five days, was well filled with

But, of course, it is not to be sup-

however, was the honor extended tc
Chancellor Kirkland, who has been at
Vanderbilt for thirty-nine years.
Chancellor Kirkland is a recognized
national leader in education today.
He first went to Vanderbilt as a pro-
fessor in latin.

It is of vital interest to us at Agnes
Seott to know that he and Dr. Gaines
were very closely identified for thirty-
four years, and that it was through
Chancellor Kirkland that Dr, McCain
came here. Naturally, Dr. McCain,
as our representative, was more thar
happy to attend the celebration, and to
come in contact again with Vander-

cellor.

Day Student News

By the time this Agonistic is out,
we hope that all of the day students
will have signed the student govern-
ment pledge. The work of Elizabeth
Chapman in urging all the “externes”
not to fail to do this is an evidence
of the benefit of being represented on
Exec. Elizabeth, you know, is the
newly-elected Day Student Represen-
tative on that august body. We're glad
to be represented, and we know of no
girl who could better uphold our in-

terests. Let’s back her up in every:
thing!
Likewise, let’s back up every gir]

who becomes inspired with a brilliant
“Day-Student” idea. Rosalie Wooten
belongs in this class: she is rapidly
marshalling all available grandchil-
dren to bestow upon them the title
of “Pretty Paper Procurers.” In
other words, the day students are
again planning to get rich quicker
by selling papers and magazines. The
boarders can help us a lot in saving
for us papers of any description.
Growth of the cottage fund is our
goal.

In this connection, let us again re-
mind you of December 5, (This week-
ly repetition, Freshmen, we offer as
an example of “repetition for empha-
sis.”) In case you’ve forgotten, De-
cember 5 is the night of the day stu-
dent play. We're hoping for a large
audience, and so are working on re-
hearsals with enthusiasm.

One of the most loyal of those look-
ing forward to the play, is not at
present able to take part in the plans.
Frances Hargiss has been away from
school all this week, because of an
operation for appendicitis, We’re
glad to hear she is getting along nice-
ly, and hope she will be back as soon
as possible. Hazel Huff, too, is on
the sick list, we regret to say. But
she is still able to struggle to school
(in her Peerless), for a wisdom tooth
is the cause of her trouble. All her
friends rejoice in the sign of increas-
ing knowledge.

DOUBLE-HEADER
Seniors vs. Sophomores.

Juniors vs. Freshmen.

Last Friday afternoon the gym was
the scene of two hard-fought battles,
each between the sister classes. Both
of them were fast and snappy, the
ball being sent from one end of the
court to another with the speed of
Flapper Fanny. Class spirit was es-
pecially prevalent and the music of
the cheering sections not only seemed
to soothe the souls of the players but
put greased lightning in their dodg-
ing and running apparatus.

The Seniors won over the Sopho-
mores by just 5 points, the final score
amounting to 24 for Seniors, 19 for
Sophomores.

The Junior score was 21 for Jun-
iors, 18 for Freshmen.

Benefactors of College
Receive Special
Mention

Dr. McCain continued his talks
about Agnes Scott during the chapel
periods of last week and gave some
valuable and interesting information.

He told of the struggle Agnes Scott
has had in gaining recognition as an
A grade college. It is hard to think
of Agnes Scott as a “co-ed” school;
nevertheless it was-that in its earlier
days when it was merely a grammar
school. From the grammar school for
girls and boys, it passed to the high
‘school stage and thence into the De-
catur Female Seminary. In its in-
stitute or high school period it was
‘controlled first by a stock company,
then by a self-perpetuating board
of trustees who were mostly Presby-
terian, but not, however, under any
synod.

The institution had before it great

struggles in making a high school
eut of the grammar school, and a
seminary out of the high school, but
by 1900, the students of the Decatur
Female Seminary could in their
phomore year enter as Freshmen
at Vassar or any other of the eastern
‘grade A colleges. The Seminary was,
‘besides, on the accredited list as a
high school.
_ The Decatur Female Seminary
‘started in half of what is now known
‘as White House and was located in
‘front of the summer house, which
was then a well. The first possession
that the seminary could boast of was
the lot; then, Main Building West
‘Lawn, the old Gymnasium Building,
Science Halli and the Infirmary were
gradually acquired. In 1905 Rebekah
was built, White House bought and
enlarged, and the street in front of
Inman and White House was removed
along with the dummy line.

The Decatur Female Seminary,
when Col, George W. Scott gave $40,-
000 to it, changed its name to Agnes
Seott in honor of the donor’s mother.
Dr. McCain still has a picture of
“Agnes Scott” that is over a hun-
dred years old. Besides this gift,
Col. Scott put $12,000 into a new
building for the new institute—the
building we now know as Main. This
was at that time the very finest of
this kind of building, having carpets
on its floors and the best of equip-
ment. With a view to the erection
of this building, many of the leading
colleges, including Vassar and Mount
Holyoke had been visited.

Although Dr. Gaines started the De-
eatur Female Institute and gave his
life to it, Colonel Scott is the one
‘who made over our college, and thus
he is the official founder.

During its career, Agnes Scott has
had four chairmen of the Board of
Trustees, two under the institute and
two under the college.

Dr. Gaines, who had been pastor of
ithe Decatur Presbyterian Church
was the first chairman and held that
position under the institute from 1889-
1896 when he was called to be Presi-
dent. From 1896 to 1903 Colonel
Scott was chairman. His life was
yery interesting. A northerner, he
eame South in the interest of phos-
phate. In the interest, he made a
fortune which he lost only to find
again in turpentine. History repeated
itself: he lost the turpentine fortune,
but regained it in cotton. It was out
of this third and last fortune that
he made his gifts to Agnes Scott.
He is known as “Colonel” Seott be-
cause of the recognition of his service
in the Confederate army. He was an
ardent Southerner and a remarkable
man. Timid and modest himself, he
succeeded in getting other people to
do things. For about three years, he
personally paid the deficits of Agnes
Scott.

The first of the trustees under Ag-
Wines Scott College was Samuel E. In-

Dr. McCain Continues Talks on
Early History of Agnes Scott

United States Navy
Band Concert

All-Star Band in Atlanta

Many Agnes Scott girls availed
themselves of the opportunity of hear-
ing a very enjoyable concert by the
United States Navy Band on No-
vember 2, at the Atlanta Auditorium.
This organization is the official band
of the U. S. Mayflower and it has
accompanied many Presidents on
trips away from the capital. It
went with President Harding on his
Alaskan tour, and had the place of
honor in his funeral procession. When
President Coolidge went to the sum-
mer White House at Swampscott, the
Navy Band accompanied him. This
band is heard frequently at the
White House, and as it is also the
official band of the Secretary of the
Navy, it furnishes all the musical
programs for this Department of the
government.

The band was formally recognized
by an act of Congress as a perma-
nent fixture in the capital. The
growth of this organization has been
phenomenal, and is perhaps due to
the fact that each member is an ar-
tist within himself, and each soloist
has the rank of Bandmaster, which is
in itself an indication of great ability.
This Band has set the standard for
musical ensembles of its kind and it
was the realization of this that de-
cided President Coolidge to authorize
its present tour, in order that people
in all parts of the country might
have an opportunity to hear this great
Band of the United States Navy.

Afternoon and evening programs
were rendered and both were varied
in their composition. The numbers
included selections from Grand Opera,
popular airs, old-fashioned Southern
songs and several marches. The band
Was very gracious about playing en-
cores, and perhaps the thing that ap-
pealed to us most was their selection
of airs that are familiar to all of us.

man who held the office from 1903 to
1914, Like Dr. Gaines he is from East
Tennessee; he is called a first citizen
of Atlanta. Under him, the Institute
became a college; he gave Inman Hall
and caused the Science Hall and Car-
negie Library to be built. In 1912,
with him as chairman, Agnes Scott
was put by the government on the list
of the twelve A colleges for women.
The present chairman is Mr. J. K.
Orr who has been in office since 1914.

The growth of Agnes Scott has
been steady. Its assets have increased
from $575,000 to $2,000,000, and it
has gained each year more academic
recognition. On the outside, these
four zreat chairmen have been large-
ly responsible for this progress; on
the inside, these four have contributed
just as much: Dr, Gaines, Miss Hop-
kins, Miss McKinney and Dr. Ar-
buckle.

There is just one thing which Ag-
nes Scott has not changed since its
institute days: its Ideal. Published
in the catalogue of the Institute it
remains the same today and is com.
posed of the following phases:

1. A liberal curriculum, fully
abreast of the best institutions of the
land.

2. A sound curriculum with text-
books along all lines in harmony with
the Bible. :

3. The Bible a text-book.

4, Thoroughly qualified and con-
secrated teachers.

5. A high standard of scholarship.

6. The institute a model Christian
Home.

7. All the influences in the school
to be made conducive to the forma-
tion and development of Christian
character.

8. The glory of God the chief end
of all.

Hoasc Gives a
Fine Program

“Ye Pilgrims to Agnes
Scotte” a Great Success

Last Saturday night Hoasc revived
the days of Chaucer in presenting
“Ye Pilgrimage to Agnes Scotte.”
The familiar figures in their cos-
tumes of the middle ages created a
truly medieval atmosphere.

The characters are as follows:
The Man of Law.Student Government
Chaucer. .Folio, BOZ and Poetry Club
The Knight Athletic Association
The Friar Black Friars
Wife of Bath Lecture Association
The Minstrel..... Orchestra, Cotillion

and Glee Clubs.
The Clerk....Publications and K.U.B.
Prioress
Host.

In the first act, they are gathered
in the inn the night before they set
out on their pilgrimage. As they
talk they begin to wonder who will
be of the greatest importance to the
success of the journey. The host then
offers a prize to the one, who on his
return, can best represent, by a play,
What he has done on the journey.

The second act shows the return-
ing pilgrims presenting their plays,
which depict their adventure, in the
court yard of the inn. When all of
the plays have been given it is de-
cided that no one person by himself,
but the whole company taken togeth-
er, had made the pilgrimage a suc-
cess. So the pilgrims all join in
singing to Agnes Scott.

Subjects Are
Suggested

Each College Suggests Two
Subjects for Intercollegiate
Debate

Plans for the intercollegiate debate
between Randolph-Macon, Sophie
Newcomb and Agnes Scott, which
will take place next spring are al-
ready under discussion. Each college
suggests two subjects and from these
six resolutions, the three colleges
jointly choose the subject for the in-
tercollegiate debate. The Debating
Council of Agnes Scott, which is
composed of seven members from the
faculty, Miss Gooch, Miss Jackson,
Miss Hearon, Miss Daisy Frances

Smith, Dr. Good, Mr. Rankin, Mr.
Stukes, and six student members,
Mary Davis, Catherine Graeber,

Eloise Harris, Elizabeth Henderson,
Elsa Jacobsen, and Olivia Swann,
has selected two subjects and sent
them to Randolph-Macon and Sophie
Newcomb as Agnes Scott’s choice.
The subjects are:

Resolved, that a federal act declared
by the supreme court contrary to the
constitution should become constitu-
tional when so interpreted by an act
passed by a two-thirds vote of each
house of Congress and signed by the
President.

Resolved, that foreign powers hold-
ing extra-territorial rights in China
should make an agreement at once
to abolish these rights within five
years.

MISS MacDOUGALL
HONORED

The students are getting so used
to seeing this headline that soon they
are going to stop reading the Ag-
nostic for the very monotony of it.
But once again a signal honor has
been bestowed upon Miss MacDou-
gall. She has been asked to teach
at Johns Hopkins University in the
course of Protozoology in the School
of Hygiene and Public Health; and
if arrangements can be made here
for the work in her department, Miss
MacDougall will be granted a leave
of absence for a part of the second
semester, when she will take up her
new work at Johns Hopkins.

No. 8

World Court a
Vital Question

Do you know that December 17th
marks the opening of the debate in
the Senate on America’s entrance into
the World Court?

Do you know that the decision of
that debate will be one of the most
important actions in international af-
fairs taken by the United States in
the last five years?

Do you know that, if we join, it will

ean the first step toward a new as-
sumption of international responsibil-
ity?

Do you know that the final vote in
the Senate is still uncertain ?

Do you know what student opinion
on the World Court question could
accomplish if it were effective ?

Do you know what you are going to
What your college

is going to do?

THE C.C.A. LEADS OFF.

Anticipating the widespread inter-
est among students in the World
Court issue and the certain desire of
students to make their influence felt
in the Senate’s decision, the Council
of Christian Associations (represent-
ing all of the Student Y. W. C. A.’s
and Student Y, M. C. A.’s of the na-
tion) at its Lake Forest meeting Sep-
tember 10th voted unanimously:

1. To place itself on record as urg-
ing the immediate entrance of the
United States into the World Court.

2. To enlist all of the resources of
the Student Movement in a nation-
wide program of internatinoal educa-
tion throughout the colleges of the
country. The purpose: to crystalize
student opinion favorable to the Court
and to make this immediate issue an
occasion for stimurating a more in-
telligent and more continuously ac-
tive student influence upon the de-
termination of America’s foreign pol-
icy.

In this action, The C.C.A. regarded
itself merely as the spokesman for its
constituency of 200,000 students.

BUT, CAN STUDENT OPINION
COUNT?
Yes!

If it centers attention on this crit-
ical question now.

If it has the facts on the Court, the
League and the significance of the
Senate’s action.

If it thinks through to conclusions
and makes them articulate.

If it is intelligent on the way public
opinion is formed and the way great
issues are settled in this country.

If it studies the best means of in-
fluencing Senate action—and uses
them.

“The ©.C.A.’s plan promises to be
the most important step yet taken to-
ward getting the United States into
the World Court.’—Professor Irving
Fisher, Yale.

SOME OF THE THINGS
OUR CAMPUS CAN DO!
12 Suggestions
(Representing the thinking of one
group on what one campus might do.)
1. Organize a strong special World
Court Committee.

It might consist of from 5 to
12 of the keenest, livest, most “in-
ternationally-minded”’ students on
the campus. The president of the
student council, editor of the col-
lege paper, etc., could be included.
Two or three strong faculty mem-
bers might well be added in an
advisory capacity.

Assure full attendance at all re-
gional or state special World Court
Conferences.

Encourage attendance at non-
student conferences on the Court.
Secure a special university or col-
lege convocation.

Where desired, a special speak-
er on the World Court will be sup-
plied by regional headquarters or

Drinkwater Lectures
at Agnes Scott

Enthuses Large Audience
With His Intrepretation
of Art

Real charm of personality lent to

John Drinkwater’s superb lecture on
November 4 an additional delightful-
ness. Agnes Scott is indeed fortu-
nate to have had in its auditorium a
man of such wide renown, who has
been received with enthusiasm in all
the great cities of the country, and
whose thoughtful statements are made
even more attractive by the man’s
personal magnetism. The attention of
the audience was completely his from
the beginnnig.

After a brief introduction by Dr.
McCain, Mr, Drinkwater began. his
lecture with the reading of seven of
his lovely poems, several of which
were especially interesting because of
their distinct English flavor. His reso-
nant voice and shaded inflexion made
the reading very charming. He then
made a short discourse on art and
the artist, defining art as the ability
of an individual to understand and
interpret his experience in the light
of his own character.

The lecturer then proceeded more
directly to his subject, “An English
Dramatist’s View of Lincoln.” He
remarked on the dramatic value of
the fact that only a few men in the
eourse of history, having been lifted
miraculously from the ranks of their
fellow men and placed in elaxted posi-
tion, have succeeded in what they at-
tempted. His three examples were
Oliver Cromwell, Abraham Lincoln,
and Robert E. Lee. Chosing Lincoln
in particular, he discussed the reason
why this man had really succeeded;
why he had stood that test of true
greatness; the ability to live not only
in generalizations, but in the little
things of life. He said that Lincoln’s
raison d’etre might be summed up in
the two mottos on our coin—Liberty
and E, Pluribus Unum, or, in Drink-
water’s wording, “Individual liberty
rooted in the soil of national unity.”
Such was the outline of this dramat-
ist’s view of Lincoln. Mr. Drink-
water closed with the reading of some
of the choruses from his play, Abra-
ham Lincoln, and of a beautiful poem,
Petition,

This lecture is the first of the se-
ries to be presented this year by the
Agnes Scott Public Lecture Associa-
tion. Its \complete {success is, in-
deed, a splendid inauguration for the
year’s program.

Presentation of
May Day Legends

“Ye merry month of May” perhaps
seems a little remote in chilly No-
vember, yet it is not too early to be-
gin thinking and planning for May
Day, which is one of the outstand-
ing events of the year. On this oc-
casion many people come to Agnes
Scott from Atlanta and all the coun-
try ‘round as well.

Preparation for Ma Day is a
subject of vital importance to all the
college community. In order to stim-
ulate interest and arouse enthusiasm,
the May Day committee has planned
a meeting of the Student Body in
the Gymnasium at 5 o’clock Wednes-
day afternoon, November 11. On this
occasion, Miss Beckham, of Atlanta,
will present some interesting legends
involving May Day customs of va-
rious countries. An additional fea-
ture of interest will be music and
models in costumes native to those
countries. This is expected to be a
source of interest to everybody and
of inspiration to the gifted young
authors who are to help make May

an actual one. As nearly as can be
learned from the confused Balkan re-
ports, Greek troops had invaded Bul-
garian territory, and their artillery
was firing on Bulgarian villages. M.
Briand, the Acting President of the
Council of the League, called an im-
mediate meeting of it, and sent a tele-
gram to both nations “exhorting” them
to refrain from further hostilities un-
til the Council could act. The latter
body met in Paris last Monday, and
issued an ultimatum to the belliger-
ents. By the terms of this decision,
all troops were to be withdrawn with-
in 24 hours, and all hostilities to cease
within 60 hours. The critics to the
contrary, the League’s ultimatum was
accepted by the two “sovereign na-
tions” and its decision obeyed.

The most striking and thrilling as-
pects of the situation are the celerity
with which the League got into action,
and the respect paid to its decision.
We have had an actual war, and it

change were made. But that such a state of affairs should come
to pass is not necessary. Outside activities fill an important place
on any campus and should be kept there. In organizations there
is found opportunity for individual development of talent; and
that inspiration which comes from the communion of like-minded
spirits laboring together for the common good. It is not a ques-
tion of abolishing outside activities, but rather one of enabling
each girl to choose the correct amount of study and of outside
activity. She should enter into activities to the greatest extent
possible without seriously infringing upon her studying. But to
know just how much one is capable of doing, and just to what
extent she can go to sacrifice lessons for activities is a problem
hard to solve. Indeed, if one were able to estimate values cor-
rectly, she would hardly be in need of coming to college at all. A
student must simply disentangle the problem to the best of her
knowledge, and let it rest at that. If she miscalculate and go
too deeply one way or the other, let her remember that it is better
to have soared toward impossible heights and fallen than never
to have tried one’s wings at all.

The point system has been instituted to keep students from
going too deeply into outside work, but, to a certain extent, it has
failed. The only solution we can suggest for keeping one student
from having excessive outside work piled upon her is that of in-
teresting more students in activities, so that, there being more

place that has remained blank for
many years, it is to be wished well.

A Political Soldier of For-

Paris——M. Caillaux, France’s polit-
ical soldier of fortune, has forced the
resignation of another cabinet. As
Finance Minister, M. Caillaux failed
to reach any settlement of the Franco-
American debt at the Washington con-
ference. He refused to resign, when
asked to do so by the Painleve gov-
ernment. Not willing to drag the
quarrel into the Chamber of Deputies,
M. Painleve and his cabinet, as a last
resort, resigned themselves.

President Doumergue will probably
request M. Painleve to form a new
government, and M. Caillaux’s name
will doubtless be missing from the

information as to where the book
might be found. Not only is this girl
breaking down a trust, but, at the
same time, she is being very inconsid-
erate of her classmates. Are they
not entitled to the same privileges of
borrowing a book as the girl who has
not taken the trouble to “sign up’?

This matter of taking books out of !

the library without recognition from
the person in charge at the desk has
come to a point where every one must
have her spirit of honor awakened,
as there is no other solution to the
problem except, perhaps, to discon-
tinue the privilege of drawing books
out of the library altogether, whereby
the innocent will suffer 4vhile the
guilty are punished. It will be read-
ily condoned that that would be a ca-
lamity.

Girls, if for no other reasons than
your love of Agnes Scott and your
realization of her trust in you, do not
abuse her property.

AGGIE’S FUNNY BONE

Miss Gooch: “Why didn’t you come
on the stage at the proper time?”

Eloise Harris (who is playing the:

part of a Chinaman): I—I—I for-

| got my cue.”

Nan Lengle: “Carp, dno’t you find
that your job as collector for lecture
tickets makes you a bit unpopular?”

Carp: “It doesn’t seem so. In
nearly every case they ask me to call

again.”

Catherine Craeber: “Miss Hearon,
what do you think of my argument?”

Miss Hearon: “Sound—most cer-
tainly sound.”

Catherine: “And what else?”

Miss Hearon: “Nothing else—
merely sound.”
No wonder the Blacksfriar girls

“Now, Jack, you are a pretty well

“Only this, please,” replied Jack
Anderson. “Whatever may be the

it with a preposition.”

about the new social club on the cam-

Margaret Rice: “No, what?”
Lillian: “The ‘Liberty Bell Club,’

“Messiah” Is
to Be Presented

Everyone is looking forward with
interest to the presentation of “The
Messiah,” which will be given on the
last Sunday before the Christmas
iholidays. “The Messiah” (for the
if benefit of the Freshmen) is an ora-
iit toria written by Handel, commemor-
1 ; ating the birth of Christ; the words
are taken directly from the Bible,
|} and the music is very beautiful and
‘sublime.
i This musical celebration is being
‘sponsored by the Agnes Seott Glee
h club and Choral Society and the
IE mory Glee Club. Mr. Johnson, vo-
‘eal instructor, is the director, and Mr,
Dieckmann is the organist. The solo-
| |} ists are Mrs. Stukes, Miss Helen
Bates, Mr. Herbert, and Mr. Os-
“mough. This selection has been given
several times at Agnes Scott, but we
'feel that it will be exceedingly good
i this year, because of the work and

Talks on A. S.C.
By Dr. McCain
Are Continued

Dr. McCain’s short talks on the his-
tory of Agnes Scott, which have been
both instructive and amusing to his
audience, were continued on Novem-
ber 10th at the Chapel exercises. The
president told us that when the col-
lege was two years old, Mr. S. M.
Inman interested Mr. Butterick, presi-
dent of the General Board of Educa-
tion, in the budding institution. Mr.
Butterick, amid the great but sup-
pressed excitement of the authorities
and the Young Hottentots, visited
Agnes Scott, going over the grounds
and buildings and investigating the
scholastic system. The result caused
great delight to all friends of Agnes
Seott. The General Board promised
to give $250,000 if the College would
raise a proportional amount. The
first civic campaign in Atlanta was
then staged, and the money raised.
Part was to go to the payment of
debts, part to permanent endowment,
and part to new developments.

At this unpropitious time an
demic of typhoid broke out in
school, naturally causing much dis-
tress. The utmost care, however, was
given to the patients and no one died.
To quote Dr. McCain, “This was the
time when was wrought into the fibre
of Agnes Scott the prayer life which
has always been characveristie of
her.” The danger was finally past;
the new college -continued its process
of development.

World Fellowship
Week Is Observed

World Fellowship Week of Prayer
came at a particularly appropriate
time this year, just following the Y.
W. GC. A. and Y. M. C. A. conferences
in the interest of the World Court
question. This week of prayer has
been observed for the past few years
by the young men’s and young
women’s Christian associations all
over the world in behalf of world
fellowship and peace.

The opening meeting was led by
Nell Hillhouse on the evening of No-
vember 9, and something of the pur-
pose of the week was explained. Lib
Norfleet was in charge Thursday
evening and introduced Miss Winifred
Wygal, an active Y. W. worker,
whom we were fortunate in having to
speak to us. The closing meeting
was conducted by Marian Green on
Friday.

We feel that this annual week of
prayer is valuable for widening our
interests and broadening our sym-
pathy.

Greek Bazaar

A Greek bazaar, sponsored by the
Classical Club, was given Monday in
Propylean Hall from three to eight
o'clock. There were seven booths,
and each of these was in charge of
some member of the club.

Over One hundred dollars was made
on the sale of handerchiefs, scarfs,
bags, kimonas, sachets, pin cushions,
children’s dresses, and linens. Greek
candy was also sold, and refresh-
ments of demi-tasse, cakes, and
punch were served. Autumn leaves
and pink rosebuds were used for dec-
orations, and added very much to
the gala appearance of the hall.

Oyster Supper Postponed

The oyster supper which the mem-
bers of the Decatur Presbyterian
Church had planned to give the Pres-
byterian girls at Agnes Scott had to
be postponed, because Dr. and Mrs.
McGeachy were out of town.

Miss Wygal Talkson | ATLANTA CONFERENCE
ON WORLD COURT IS HELD

World Fellowship

Miss Winifred Wygal, a Y. W. C.
A. talked to
group of students interested in World
Fellowship work last Thursday after-
November 12, in the Cabinet
Room. The discussion was informal,

national secretary,

noon,

as Miss Wygal was anxious to get the
opinions of the students on the sub-
jects connected with world fellowship,

as well as give us her own. She pre-

sented some very helpful and instruc-
tive ideas.

The first thing which at the pres-
ent time comes under the work of the
World Fellowship Committee is the
discussion and arousal of interest in
the World Court. The World Court is
a vital step toward real world fellow-
ship. The question of the World
Court awakens the thought and
aroused the interest of every stu-
dent who cares anything at all about
national and international affairs.
Discussion and reading on this ques-
tion stimulates the mind of the stu-
dent to thinking about all world af-
affairs. Students play a great part,
a very necessary one, in the forma-
tion of public opinion.

A second important subject within
the field of the Committee concerns
the students from other countries in
the United States. There are 1500
foreign women students in America,
chiefly from Japan, China, Korea,
India, Chili, Czecho-Slovakia, and
France. What should be our attitude
toward these students? What ideals
of America do we give them? There
is a department for foreign students
in the National Y. W. C. A., under

the leadership of Miss Anne Wiggin.
Touch with this department should
be maintained.

The third “job” of the World Fel-

lowship Committee is to keep Ameri-
ean students in touch with what stu-

dents in other countries are doing,
British students are one of the fore-
most groups of students in the world,
because they have had more chances
and have not had the great struggle
for their rights which is found in
many countries. In Russia the gov-
ernment opposes Christianity and
higher education and the Russian stu-
dents are being persecuted in their
search after greater knowledge. It is
in China that the students are com-
in gto the front nationally. They com-
pose the only group in China at the
present with a sense of its own pow-
er, struggling against heavy odds to
attain their ideals. The World Stu-
dent Christian Federation, which
meets in Denmark next year, is do-
ing much to bring together the stu-
dents of the world.

The relation of foreign missions to
world fellowship is important—more
important than most of us realize.
The prevalent idea of foreign mis-
sions as something staid and rather
unfeeling is a mistaken one. They
are one of the greatest factors in se-
curing world peace, and are very
alive and vital factors. The time has
passed when missions and foreign
diplomatic relations can be separ-
ated. As an example is an incident
at the International World Conference
last January at Washington which
Miss Wygal attended. She said that
every time the subject of American
missions to Japan was presented the
Japanese Exclusion Act was simul-
taneously brought up. She declared
that missionary work can be revived
by the attitude of the country behind
it. Missions are a place of interna-
tionalism and should be treated as
such.

Race relationship is one of the fore-
most questions presented to and by
the World Fellowship Committee. In
this part of the country the negro
problem is of course the most impor-
tant. The question of the Yellow
Race, especially Chinese, is just as
vital in the states of the Pacific

“Stunt Night Staged

By Emory, Excellent

There are times when students and
faculty join together to do their
Alma Mater proud—and the Emory
Glee Club and Orchestra certainly
produced one of the best stunts that
has ever been shown, in the presen-
tation of the “Sixth Annual Stunt
Nite, November 9-10, 1925,” at the
Atlanta Woman's Club.

And the reason we know it was
so good, is because we had represen-
tatives there both nights who were
eapable judges. Those lucky enough
to go were: Olive Spencer, Mary
Prim, Mary Reviere, Grace Carr, Eliz-
abeth Moore, Mary Ferguson, Bettie
Little, Grace Boone, Bayless Me-
Shane, Louise Sydnor, Lillian Clem-
ent, Martha Johnston, Mary Free-
man, Virginia Hollingsworth, and
others.

The program was very interesting
and well diversified, including duets,
solos on piano, violin, harmonica,
cello and even a saw. The jokes that
were “cracked” were reported most
humorous, and most appreciated by
the audience. Humor seems to have
prevailed throughout the evening, for
when the audience was not being en-
tertained by the actors, they were
amused by such remarks interspersed
through the programs:

“We are nothing if not original—
hence the Anvil Chorus.”

“Preshmen will do anything once.”

“Can’t something be done about
this, and where are the police?”

‘Did you ever sing.a duet?
this isn’t funny.”

‘Do you have an axe? Try it on
your harmonica—as soon as you have
finished with your ukele.”

“The shattered melodies and broken
rythms to be sold for sweet charity.”

“No wonder Emory admirers just
can’t wait” until the next annual
stunt nite. These stunts surely clear
the spider webs away.

Well,

Dr. Pace Addresses
Students in Chapel

Dr. E. J. Pace, sponsored by the Bi-
ble Club, gave a series of lectures in
Chapel on Thursday, Friday and Sat-
urday. His discussion was upon the
Law of the Octave and was illustrated
with slides. He showed that the un-
derlying principles of music and na-
ture are the same as those of the
Bible. With the slides he showed the
intricate and lovely designs of snow-
flakes—all six sides bound around a
common center; he showed how light
could be reduced to its primary col-
ors, and how musie follows the "law
of octave.’ The structure of the Bible,
he illustrated, follows the same rules.
All nature and art, he said, forms a
Tyj' unity, comparable to the Trinity.
Dr. Pace’s lectures were both inter-
esting and edifying, and were greatly
enjoyed by everyone.

Goast. The Mexicans on the southern
border and the French-Canadians on
the New England border present their
problems. Throughout the U. S. is
the question of the extent of relation-
ship between Jew and Gentile.
point was made that these questions
are just as important to the other
nations or races concerned as to us.
We should hold our minds open to all
information and opinion and then
form our decision. It will take at
least 1000 years for the working out
of the race problem. What we must
do is to search for Truth.

Problem of Day.

Students from Florida, Alabama,
and Georgia met in Atlanta, Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, November 6th,
7th, and 8th, to discuss the question
of America’s entrance into the
Word Court. The Conference was
the result of action taken by the C.
C. A—Council of Christian Associa-
tions, a combination of the National
Y. M. C. A. and Y. W..C. A., author-
izing the holding of thirty-five re-
gional student conferences about the
World Court, during the month of
November. The C. C. A., keeping
abreast of the times, has realized that
the college student no longer consid-
ers himself a recluse for four years,
but rather, an intelligent citizen dur-
ing his college life as well as after-
wards. It has, therefore, seen the
need of college students for instruc-
tion along the lines of international
problems. With information, it be-
lieves, come interest. The C. C. A. is,
then, sponsoring a movement among
college students for a greater interest
in world problems. As a first step, it
has provided for student conferences
throughout the United States, to dis-
cuss the World Court question
of America’s entrance into the World
Court is easily the biggest issue be-
fore our country. The Atlanta Con-
ference was attended by a large body
of enthusiastic students, both white
and colored, from Florida, Alabama
and Georgia. Mr. George Smith,
president of the Emory Y. M., pre-
sided.

Rev. Mr. Carter Helms Jones was
the opening speaker for the Confer-
ence on Friday evening, November
6th. In his usual powerful manner,
he showed the moral demands made
upon America for entering the
World Court.

The chief speaker Saturday, both in
the morning and in the afternoon,
was Mr. Kirby Page, the well-known
free lance from New Jersey. In the
morning Mr. Page delivered a clear-
cut analysis of the conditions of the
world making the World Court a
necessity if we are to prevent war.
In the afternoon, he explained the
organization and jurisdiction of the
World Court as it now stands, and
the various plans by which it has
been proposed that America enter.
The substance of his talk was as fol-
lows: There are two basic facts on
which we must found any intelligent
discussion of the needs of the world.
These two facts are industrialism and
nationalism. Nations are becoming
more and more industrial; and, in like
proportion, more and more dependent
on one another. No one nation has
the three essentials for successful
industrialism, raw materials, a mar-
ket for products, and a place for the
investment of surplus money; and,
therefore, each nation must depend
on some other. This force tends to
bind the world together. The second
basic fact is nationalism, or the
theory that the one aim of each na-
tion is to advance itself. Nationalism
tends toward division. Now, if an
industrial nation is to be successful,
it must control the resources of as
many minor powers as possible, so
as to get more raw materials. Such
control is called economic imperial-
ism. Take, for example, the exploi-
tation of Africa. If a nation con-
trols its colonies, it must have armies,
and armies imply militarism. Thus
we have a militaristic world. Our
problem is, then, to devise peaceable
means for settling economic disputes
among nations. The requirements
for such a plan are: (1) agreements
by which disputes can be settled; (2)
a permanent body to execute such
agreements; (3) an agency to inter-
pret the agreements—that is, a

EDIPORTAL

A SPORTS DUTY

If this editorial were to begin by announcing in scare head lines
that “It is the duty of every college student to take an active and
intelligent interest in international affairs,” ninety-nine and four-
ty-four one hundredths per cent of the student body of Agnes
Scott would immediately transfer their attention to Aggie’s Funny
Bone. Duty is archaic. The girl who follows that eagle-eyed lady
is less than the dust. We pay no attention to her . . much less
praise her, Our applause is reserved for those fortunate persons
whom we loudly term “good sports.”

The sporting code has had a great influence on our much dis-
cussed younger generation. It IS a fine thing to lose with a grin,
to cultivate tolerance for other people’s opinions, and to be a
‘hail fellow well met” to all. But most of us are SO broadminded
and SO tolerant that justifiable opinions stick in our little cere-
brums about as well as water lies on the roof of Main. In order
to be good sports and not make our friends uncomfortable by ob-
truding our ideas and beliefs, we toss away our personal opinions,
and do only that which “is done.” The study of international af-
fairs is one of the things which “is not done,” so we pass up the
magazine stand in the library without a glance.

But we are forgetting one of the important points in the sport-
ing code. A good sport keeps in constant training in order to meet
and conquer “the breaks of the game.” Because we ARE college
girls, after our graduation, we, first and foremost, will be expected
to vote and act intelligently. That is the way the game will break
for us. Will we be prepared for it? Have we kept training? We
practice basketball for hours and go withoout cokes, candy and
sodas to make the team. After graduation we will be expected to
make the team of those who lead public opinion. Will we do it?

Fifteen minutes daily is enough training to find out what has
happened . read the front page of the New York Times; to
find what experts think will result from those events . read
the editorial page . . you’ll get a lot further in those editorials
than in this one . or the Literary Digest, or the World’s
Work. History in the making is not nearly so dull as history that
is made.

The C. C. A. has started a movement to arouse student interest
in the World Court. What do we know about it? What are its
powers? What is the new interpretation of Article X? Is Ger-
many a member of the League? What does Locarno mean to us?
Let’s take half an hour off tonight and spent it at the magazine
stand. You will be surprised how much you enjoy it. Histories
are written for student, but newspapers are written for just ordi-
nary people like you and me.

A good sport has a duty, shocking as it may seem. We meet
the “breaks” of college life pretty well, but college should be a
preparation to meet the ‘“‘breaks” of real life.

Come on! Be a sport!

Pi Alpha Phi Holds
Regular Meeting

Pi Alpha Phi met Thursday even-
ing, November 5, with the debate on
the subject: Resolved, that a federal
act declared by the Supreme Court
contrary to the Constitution should
become constitutional when so inter-
preted by an act passed by a two-
thirds vote of each house of Congress
and signed by the President. The
affirmative was upheld by Nan
Lingle, Edythe Carpenter and Eloise
Harris; and the negative by Frances
Cooper, Evelyn Powell and Ruth Lig-
gins The decision, rendered by a
vote of the members of Pi Alpha Phi,
was in favor of the affirmative.

Intercollegiate News

The Executive Committee of Emory
has opened the school to Co-Eds! Not
without limitation but a decided step
toward co-education was taken at a
recent meeting of the Board of Trus-
tees. It was decided that wives and
daughters of the members of the
faculty might matriculate at the
University and work for degrees.

While it has been the custom to
admit female students to the summer
school and even to the graduate
schools, this marks the first ruling
of the board by which they will be
admitted as undergraduates working
for degrees in the College of Liberal
Arts.

The Carolina Playmakers have
added to their number Miss Alice
Boatwright, a professional actress of
ability. It was rumored that Miss
Boatwright w as to be the star of
The Playmakers, but she has declared
she will not act this year, but will
give her attention to the mechanics
of play production. She is now coach-
ing actors in Miss Martha Boswell’s
play, “Yon Side o’ Sunk Creek.”

Miss Boatwright plays ingenue lead
parts. She first became interested in
the Playmakers when she played
with former Carolina Playmakers in
“Pomander Walk.”

World Court discussions held a
prominent place in almost every col-
lege paper this past week. Georgia
State College for Women has formed
a World Court Committee, composed
of members from each class, whose
object is to study the World Court
problem, and bring students into a
closer relationship with the nation
and world.

The University of North Carolina
held a debat e on whether or not the
United States should enter the Court.
Before the debate opened, the presid-
ing officer called for a vote by the
audience on what they thought of the
International Court of Justice. There
were about fifty votes cast against
the Court, and several hundred for.
After the debate, the audience was
again asked to vote. This time the
votes stood 317 in favor of the court;
176 opposed. Thus the majority of
the house still endorsed the Interna-
tional Court, but the negative had
converted about 150 to their side. The
question arises, who won the debate?
At any rate, the International Court
of Justice came out on top.

B. O. Z. Meets

B. O. Z. held its regular meeting
last Thursday, at which time two
stories were read before the Club,
Grace Augusta Ogden submitted
“Ships,” a tragedy; and Carolyn
Essig had a story of a hardened old
aunt who was humanized by her
nephew. After criticisms of the
stories, the members of the Club dis-
cussed some modern fiction, including
Du Bose Haywood’s “Porgy” and
“Serena Blandish” or “Difficulties of
Getting Married”’ by a Lady of
Quality. The modern short story was
analyzed somewhat. Then delightful
refreshments, in the form of ice
cream cones, were served.

I Cc

Giddie Gossip Alumnae Who's

Dearest Giddie:

I have made a wonderful discovery
—yes, you guessed it—a new way
to reduce! You, too, may have the
sylph-like figure of Middie Morrow
without starving, chewing gum or tak-
ing harmful drugs. It has the approval
of the entire family and is especially
recommended by Miss Miller and Mrs.
Calhoun. I have not tried it yet but
they say the sweeping of your room
every day will make you both slim
and graceful. Are you in favor of a
clean up campaign?

Mr. Holt has a most effective way
of getting in his exercise—carrying
“pop-test books” back and forth from
his office to his class room. I hear
he was very much overworked on
Wednesday but as I was the victim
of two of these trips I am afraid
I don’t feel as sympathetic as |
should.

Giddie, if you meet any one plod-
ding along the Stone Mountain road
in the cold gray hours of dawn, don’t
be frightened; it is only Clarkie tak-
ing that ten-mile-before-breakfast-
hike required of all seniors.

But I bit on one of the early morn-
ing hikes myself. And I have been to
all my gym classes this week—I even
wore a clean middie today! Honestly
I am afraid to show any more signs
of being collegiate—or people will
think I have designs on Hoasc!
Chugga Sydnor has already intimated
that I am trying to make an invest-
ment out of that dollar I paid the
Sophomores for my seat in that es-
teemed organization.

My roommate just came in and told
me that Evelyn Kennedy was sitting
in the parlor all calm and serene,
surrounded by six boys! And she is
not the only one. Ella has not been
tubing Georgia Watson all afternoon
for exercises nor is Ann Heys wear-
ing that come hither smile for the
benefit of the college community at
large. Really, if Georgia and Tech
played every week Agnes Scott would
have to put on a campaign to raise
funds for reupholstering the parlor
furniture!

Did you know Ruth McMillan and
Jo Douglas were Tech’s fair spon-
sors? AssI saw them from my seat
on the top row of the bleachers they
were sitting behind their yellow chry-
santhemums looking as calm as Miss
Laney assigning an Anglo-Saxon test
or Emily Nelson nonchalantly keep-
ing a week-end book out for a week.

But Georgia and Tech are not the
only ones who “rate” at A. S. C.
Wofford College comes in for its
share, especially with exec. Have
you seen Ellen Fain walking around
with a “dollar sixty-five” pin on?

Giddie, I must go now and make
a few casual remarks to any of the
faculty I see strewn around the
campus. You see I believe in getting
in my bootlicks early and avoiding
the pre-exam rush.

So, so long,
AGGIE.

French Club Organized

The French Club, composed of those
Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors
taking French above 101, assembled
last week for its first meeting of this
year. The business on hand was brief
and resulted in: the election of Mary
Davis for president and Eloise Harris
for secretary and treasurer. Plans
for the future will be announced
later.

Atlanta Conference

On World Court

(Continued from First Page)

three-fold international organization.

The World Court is such an inter-
national organization. Its official
name is the permanent Court of Inter-
national Justice. It is four years old
and has a membership of forty-eight
nations. All the great powers belong
except ‘Russia, Turkey, Germany and
the United States, and Germany has
definitely decided to enter soon. As
far as judication is concerned, the
Court is rather well-off. It has eleven
judges and four deputies from fifteen
nations, and the moral character of
none of these judges is anywhere
questioned. There is little interna-
tional law, but it is continually in-
creasing. The Court has jurisdiction
onl yin such cases as are voluntarily
submitted to it; but there is an extra
clause, now signed by twenty-three
nations, including France, which
gives the Court absolute jurisdiction.
Legislation is cared for in the League
of Nations, where agreements which
afterwards become laws are made an-
nually. The decisions of the Court,
once given, cannot now be enforced.
But an international army may be
founded; or, and better still, the
Court may use promise of nations,
moral ostracism, diplomatic and eco-
nomic pressure, and patience to en-
force its decisions.

The three plans proposed for
America’s entrance are: (1) the Har-
ding-Hughes-Coolidge terms; (2) the
Harmony Plan; (3) the Borah terms,
or Outlawing or war. (These plans
will be fully e xplained in the Agonis-
tic later.) Entrance into the Court
does not mean entrance into the
League of Nations,

Mr. Page ended his talk with a
statement of his belief that the
United States must, inevitably, enter
the World Court sooner or later.

Saturday evening, the Conference
was divided into groups for discussing
what students can do about the
World Court.

Sunday morning the Conference
adopted two resolutions: That the
World Court is a vital question; that
will be fully explained in the Agonis-
the Conference members should try
to stimulate an impartial study of
the subject on their own campuses.

The following suggestions were
made as a result of the Saturday
night discussion groups:

ON FRIDAY NIGHT

A very interesting and enjoyable
meeting was held by Blackfriars last
Friday evening. The constitution
was read for the benefit of the new
members, and several important mat-
ters of business were brought up. In
view of the fact that there is a deficit
of $400 on the new gymnasium, the
administration has offered to furnish
stage properties if Blackfriars will
collect the pledges to make up this
amount. It was also decided to give
a matinee, as well as a night, per-
formance of “Daddy Long Legs,”
Louisa White was admitted by her
tryout of an artistic stage made in
minature, and was initiated at this
meeting.

Miss Gooch gave a very instructive

Report on Student
Government Meet

Virginia and Ellen
Douglas Leyburn returned from the
Student Government Conference at
Wellesley last Tuesday, November

17, with many new ideas on Student

Government and many memories of
Leaving Agnes
Scott early on the morning of No-

a wonderful time.

reached Wellesley November 12, and

the Conference held its first session
that afternoon. Wellesley, with its
300 acres of campus, its lakes, its
beautiful, well-equipped buildings,
and its 1700 students proved a “most
gorgeous place,” and the Wellesley
girls lovely hostesses.

Thursday evening the Conference
representatives were entertained at a
formal dinner at the Alumnae Hall.
After the dinner there was a lovely
reception and musical given by the
president of Wellesley, Dr. Pendleton,
at Great Hall, in Tower Court. Fri-
|day afternoon delightful teas were
'given at the society houses. Friday
night a play was presented at Alum-
nae Hall by the Barnswallows, the
dramatic organization at Wellesley.
This production was not equal to
those of Blackfriars, especially in
that “the groom without” and other
off and on-stage mechanical devices
were rather amateurish.

The Conference itself was most in-
teresting. As well as the represen-
tatives from the southern and eastern
colleges, there was a representative
from Mills College in California, a
member of the National Federation
of Colleges in the west, and repre-
sentatives from the Confederation of
International Students, the student
movement in Europe similar to the
Student Government movement in the
United States. The discussions were
largely theoretical, and concerned
the big question now before student
government. The relationship of Col-
lege Student Government organiza-
tions to problems outside of the cam-
pus—intercollegiate, national, and in-
ternational problems—was the main
issue. This included the union of the
Woman’s Intercollegiate Association
for Student Government with the
National Federation of Colleges in
the West, making the annual confer-
ence truly national, and its relation
to the Confederation of International
Students.

The Conference opened by a wel-
come from Dr. Pendleton, Wellesley’s
president. A very interesting lecture
by Dr. Dallas, who is Vicar of St.
Paul’s Episcopal church in Boston,
and also connected with Dartmouth
College, emphasized the dreams of
youth. According to Dr. Dallas, Stu-
dent Government is necessary because
it develops initiative, independence,
originality, citizenship, and coopera-
tion. At one of the meetings there
was a lecture on the World Court
by Mr. Root, who said that the Con-
ference should send a recommendation
to the Senate in the form of Senator
Swanson’s resolutions in favor of the
World Court.

The meetings consisted chiefly of
the discussion of the problems by the
students themselves. The aim of
Student Government was agreed
upon: “To teach us or to help us to
live naturally at college.’ The value
of the Conference was found to be in
the exchange of problems and the
resulting self-assurance given to Stu-
dent Government organizations. The
union of the two American Confer-
ences, N. F. C; A. and W. I. A. S. G.,
was carried, and it was also voted
that this Conference should be pri-
marily a Politic Club for the purpose
of discussing national and interna-
tional questions.

The Conference adjourned at 11:30
Saturday morning, November 14, to
meet next year at Trinity College,
Washington, D, C. All the colleges
are looking forward to this meeting
with great expectations.

No. 10

AMERICA’S ENTRANCE IN THE
WORLD COURT, A NECESSITY

(Courtesy of the Yale Daily News)

The political disputes over the
World Court and the League of Na-
tions have so confused the issue by
discussion of details that the funda-
mental reasons why America should
join have been too often overlooked.

Let us, then, go back to first prin-
ciples. I believe that anyone who
would forget the bitter political dis-
cussions and would devote an hour’s

| honest thought to the subject would

see that if America is to do anything
to co-operate with other nations for
world peace the least we can do is to
join the Court, There is much more
we can do, but we can scarcely do
anything less and participate at all
in the world-wide effort to prevent
war,

That ancient institution which we
call a Court is really the supreme
and basic invention of all civilization.
It is the only device which has been
found to work to preyent war when
quarrels become acute, Without it,
civilization itself would soon disap-
pear; in fact, it could never have ex-
isted. It is the Court which every-
where has kept peace and this has
been true in ever-widening circles.
Even our humblest Court is that of
the “Justice of the Peace.’

When people talk loosely, as they

| often do, about its being impossible

to abolish war, they are flying in the
face of history. They overlook the
fact that we have already, in spots,
abolished war. We have abolished
war, in fact, wherever we have insti-
tuted a strong court. We have abol-
ished war between individuals, fami-
lies, cities, states, a
ishing it between nations.

Before the institution of the Court
was devised even individuals settled
their disputes as Cain and Abel set-
tled their’s. When a dispute becomes
acute and can not be settled diplomat-
ically there remain just two ways of
settling it. One is to fight it out,
in which case the stronger man wins
irrespective of the justice of the case.
The other is to referee it, that is to

| put it into the hands of a disinter-

ested third party who is not so ex-
cited or prejudiced and who is more
likely to make a just decision. That
is the fundamental idea of a Court.

This is a very simple invention and
a very old one and the fact that it
has become so universal demonstrates
that at heart man loves peace rather
than war, that he prefers to let a
judge decide rather than to resort to
fighting.

The first Court was the patriarch,
who kept the peace within the family.
The family was the first ‘peace
group.” But to keep peace within
the family was not enough. As popu-
lation grew and families crowded
each other it was necessary to keep
peace between the families in order
that clusters of families might live
together in a community or village.
The justice of peace, or his equiva-
lent in ancient civilization, was the
second step in the institution of
Courts.

But it was not enough to keep the
peace within a village. Intemvillage
war was still possible, and in primi-
tive regions, such as the Philippines
before the United States entered,
there was no peaceful method of set-
tling disputes between villages. The
next step was to cluster the villages
into a state, as Massachusetts grew
from its town meetings, and to insti-
tute State Courts to keep the peace
between communities. The next step
was to cluster the States together in-
to a Nation and to settle the disputes
between the States by a Supreme
Court. Our Supreme Court has set-
tled eighty-seven such disputes be-
tween our States, and without the
Supreme Court our States would cer-
tainly more than once have been in
war.
enlarging the peace group one stage

fet-Row are abvl-4

Now the hour has struck for |

|

further to involve the whole earth by
setting up a Court between the na-
tions and clustering the nations into a
League.

We might almost describe the pro-
gress of civilization as consisting in
this gradual enlargement of the peace
group from the family to the com-
munity, to the State, to the Nation,
to the World. Only the last step has
not yet been fully taken and can-
not be, until the United States co:
operates. When the step is fully
taken, when the whole world is or-
ganized for peace, when the World
Court is as authoritative as our Su-
preme Court, we shall have abolished
war as an institution wholly and for-
ever. Each previous step of enlarg-
ing the peace group has left some-
thing outside and, therefore, was in-
complete. Occasional war was in-
evitable. But when the peace group
involves the whole earth there is
nothing left outside and the only war
possible is civil war, which by the na-
ture of the case seldom happens and
is outlawed.

Now at last we have a World Court
with forty-seven adherents and lack-
ing only the United States to give it
full prestige. Let us not talk about
creating some substitute Court and
let us not pretend that the so-called
“Old Hague-Tribunal” is a Court.
It is only a list of names on paper!
There never was any other World
Court than the Court of International
Justice at The Hague, and the other
nations of the world would never con-
sider disbanding Court to please
those few United States Senators who
talk so absurdly of creating some-
thing of their own.

The situation, then, is that a World
Court is a fundamental necessity and
that there is only one World Court
available. Moreover, unless or until
America joins the League of Nations,
there is no practical way in sight
for our joining the Word Court ex-
cept that which was worked out by
Secretary Hughes and approved by
Presidents Harding and Coolidge as
well as supported by the party plat-
forms of both political parties, There
is no excuse, therefore, for making

a political issue out of the Court,
and any man who, like Senator Borah,
talks about repudiating the party
pledge and refusing to support Pres-
ident Coolidge is simply an obstruc-
tionist and nothing more. It is utterly
impossible for them constructively to
give us what we fundamentally need
in any other way, but it is possible
for Borah and others in the strategic
position in the Senate to obstruct and
thwart this most fundamental pro-
ject. There is genuine danger that
they will do so unless the practically
unanimous approval of the United
States becomes sufficiently vocal. I
believe the students of our universi-
ties, many of whom are already
voters and the rest of whom will soon
become so, can assert a tremendous
influence with the Senate especially
by writing personal letters to their
own Senators and in other ways
bringing to public attention their
support of the World Court proposi-
tion.

The matter is slated to come before
the Senate on December 17, and in
order that any individual’s influence
shall be brought to bear in favor of
the Court, it is desirable that the
effort should be made in the immedi-
ate future.

The record of the Court thus far is
good. It already has more authority
than our Supreme Court acquired in
the same space of time. It is not
necesary to argue the question of the
League of Nations, to discuss its
various efforts to stop wars, includ-
ing the most recent one to stop the
war between Peace and Bulgaria,
Nor is it necessary to discuss the
Locarno treaties. These are not the

The Seniors, carrying their

Lingle, the President of the Assem-

the devotional exercises were con-
cluded, Miss Randolph, the faculty
member of the Senior class, made the
principal address of the occasion. At
the close of her talk, Miss Hopkins
placed each girl’s cap on her head,
thus giving her the right to wear the

Mr. Rankin Enter-
tains Math Majors

One of the most attractive and
original parites recorded in the minds
of this generation of students, at
least, was the one with which Mr.
Rankin entertained his Math majors
on the evening of November 19th. The
invitation sent to mathematical minds
read thus:

Plot, discuss-and find the area
of the above curve between the
limits.
645 (211)-++150° and
645 (2I11)+210°

When “those invited” had plotted
and discussed and found the area,
they had an which read
something to this effect: The Ran-
kins will entertain at the Alumnae
House from 8 to 10 on Thursday
evening,

The guests were met at the door by
Mr. and Mrs, ‘Rankin and William, Jr.,
who was himself dressed like a grown
man. Then each was given a card
with the name of something written
on it and was told to draw what
same represented. Cora Morton, who,
when told to draw a T-hound, drew
the picture of a zebra, received the
prize, which was presented to her by
Fannie Swann along with a long dis-
course on the relation between draw-
ing and mathematics. Next on the
entertainment program was a bean
contest. Bach guest was given twelve
beans; if anyone pronounced the word
“T” or “we,” she was to receive a
bean from the girl. Eleanor Gresham,
having the most beans, was, at the
end of the hour, crowned queen of
“Ego-land.”

Refreshments were then served:
pink and white ice cream and coco-
nut cake,

The guests for this affair included
Lady Sue Wallace, Emily Jones, Mary
Ella Hammond, Fannie Swann, Kath-
rine Pitman, Eleanor Gresham, Edith
Gilchrist, Cora Morton, Miss Line-

Dr. Lingle Speaks
in Chapel

Dr. Walter L. Lingle, president of
the Presbyterian Assembly Training
School, in Richmond, a member of
the Agnes Scott Board of Trustees,
late pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church of Atlanta, ad-
dressed the college community on
“personality,” in Chapel last week.
Dr. Lingle first read Moffat’s trans-
lation of 1 Corinth., 18, and then dis-
cussed personality, showing that the
basis of it all is love. Personality is
the greatest single factor in deter-
mining whether our life’s work will
be a success or failure. “It is,” he
said, “the sum total of all that you
are.” Personality can be felt, as is
shown by the classic example of the
stranger who said of Daniel Web-
ster, “No human being could possibly
be as great as that man looks.”

Can we cultivate personality?
Yes; to do that is an important fune-
tion of a college.

In estimating personality, we think
first of the external appearance, the
dress, the manner of arranging hair,
ete. “It is a matter of first impor-
tance that we are dressed properly.”

We find all kinds of attitudes
among people. There are rude people,
indifferent ones. “Every Christian
person should cultivate graciousness;
it is a part of religion.”

But the basis of personality is the
attitude of the heart. “As a man
thinketh in his heart, so is he.’ In
this power house of the heart should
be love, honesty, graciousness. Jesus
Christ has the greatest personality
man has ever known. Follow Him;
for he can shed grace and truth upon
vou.

INVESTITURE

Investiture, or the formal granting by the faculty of the full
authority of Seniorhood, is an institution peculiar to Agnes Scott,
and one of the dearest to the hearts of the Senior Class. Investi-
ture Day, with its solemnity, its beauty, its sentiment, marks for
the Seniors a pause in the onward rush of college life; a time for
reflection and inspiration. Investiture has two functions, one con-
cerned with the present and the other with the future: it reminds
Seniors that they have the duties of Seniorhood to fulfill, and
that soon they will be called on to show their mettle as college
students, in an every-day world of affairs.

Seniors have obligations as well as privileges, It is they who
have been here the longest time, and it is they who, in the end,
do most toward setting the ideals for new students. If Seniors
cut chapel and prayers, if Seniors talk in the hall after lights, if
Seniors cunningly evade the laws of student government, Fresh-
men will think such proceedings “‘cute” and “‘collegiate’’.

But Investiture recalls to Seniors something else: the fact
that they are soon to join the ranks of college graduates, and
bring to their Alma Mater either honor or shame. It reminds
them that there is a broader world than a college campus, that
they must take inventory of themselves and choose occupations
which fit them into the great mass of humanity striving to lift
a world made heavy by the crimes and tears of millions. Their
Alma Mater will soon have given its best to the Class of 1926,
and the Seniors, Seniors no longer, will go to the test. As the
speaker at the Investiture Ceremony quoted, ‘There is a way, and
ways, and a way,” and in each person’s hands rests her fate.

We have heard that, in Switzerland, even small boys think
it a crime to deface any public notice or picture posted on the
streets, in the post offices, ete. American childlren, typically
careless and prone to destroy and deface, think nothing of tearing
off corners, punching out eyes, and in other ways demolishing any
posted documents and pictures. But American college students
are not, supposedly, mere children, and the defacing habit is, in
them, inexcusable. To see well-groomed, full-grown college girls
deliberately shaking their fountain pens on the floor, on their
desks, everywhere, and leaving spatterings of ink as they go, is
nothing less than disgraceful. “Oh the American college youth
of today—so intelligent, so eager, such splendid citizens they will
make,” you say. Yes, so thoughtful, eh?

for a national flight in conjunction
with the Sesquicentennial Interna-
tional Exposition to be held in Phila-
delphia next year.

Graded school children of the na-

will be invited to participate in con-
tests to determine national champions
of Attractive
prizes will be offered to winners of
final spelling matches to be staged on
the exposition grounds next June.
The educational
novel movement is to eliminate an ex-
isting apathetic state toward spelling,
not only among school children, but
also existing among those engaged in
commercial and professional fields.

Widely known Philadelphia educa-

Senior Country Fair

The Agnes Scott Fair, sponsored
by the Senior class, was a gala event
of Saturday night, November 21st.
This may have been a minature fair,
but, if so, it was a perfect one, for
every feature and attraction that the
Southeastern offers was here for the
benefit of Agnes Scott and its friends.
The best thing was that one did not
spend two perfectly good hours going
to and coming from the scene of
action; instead, one merely walked
over to the new gym and the fun
began.

First, there were exhibits for the
throngs of people. Of especial inter-
est was the display of live stock that
was superintended by Lizzie Gregory,
and a chosen committee. Another ex-
hibit that attracted many was that of
the babies (really dolls). These were
entered in a Better Baby’s Contest.

There was food a-plenty, for sev-
eral booths were devoted to the sale
of candy, cakes, and ice cream. Then

(nearly three weeks!). Think of it!
It sounds too good to be true. And
this is how it all came about. At
“open” meeting of Student Govern-
ment the holidays were brought into
the diseussion, and several complaints
were made because we had to return

Tuesday, January 5th, instead of Sat-
urday, the 2nd.

We are to be dismissed Friday noon,
December 18th, and to return Tues-
day morning, January 5th. May our
benefactors enjoy the extra holiday
as much as we!

there were novelties or cute little
things that could be purchased to take
home as a souvenir or to brighten up
somebody’s life who had not the op-
portunity to go.

Best of all were the amusements.
These were varied and even more en-
joyable than those of the Southeast-
ern Fair. The midway consisted of
many shows, one of which was for
men only, another for women only,
and there was a merry-go-round and
a Trip to Mars.

The whole Senior class joined to
make this fair a success: every girl
worked hard, and to them a great deal
Still, it was depen-
dent for its financial success on the
college at large. Hence, there is a
reciprocal feeling of gratitude for the
sponsoring of this fair: the college
community thanks the seniors for an
evenning. of fun; the Seniors thank
the college for its hearty support.

Little Girl
Day Observed

Little Girl Day, one of the oldest
traditional shrdletaoinh Jva,ggshrET
traditions of Agnes Scott, was ob-
served last Thursday. According to
the precedent set many years ago, the
Seniors dropped their dignity for this
one short day before they assumed
it with full force the following day,
Investiture.

Dressed as little girls, the Seniors
proceeded, about seven-thirty, to the
dining rooms of Rebekah Scott and
White House. There they entertain-
ed the faculty and students by danc-
ing around the tables and singing a
few of those well-nigh forgotten dit-
ties of their childhood temporarily re-
called. A stranger would have
thought, judging from the bloomers,
dolls, long curls and hair ribbons
that Agnes Scott was a grammar
school, Thoughts of the morrow and
its significance, however, must have
been too pressing, for it was noticed
that later on in the day a great many
Seniors abandoned their little girl
outfit.

“One more day ’till Thanksgiving,”
and then—although most of us will
not go home, all of us will have the
proverbial turkey and cranberry
sauce. For Thanksgiving is the time
when dear old A. S. C. really humps
itself, entertaining the girls and their
guests with a marvelous big formal
dinner, evening clothes and all. This
season of good cheer is made even
more cheerful by all the excitement
of a holiday, friends leaving, visitors
coming, and turkeys stewing. Miss
Hopkins’ guest list is fascinatingly
long, reminding us of all the mothers,
fathers, friends, and beaux who will
be here to rejoice with those who do
rejoice. After the dinner there will
be a dance at the gym, which, though
of course manless, will be great fun,
nevertheless. This suspense is ter-
rible—we can hardly wait.

“Excitement’s begun—

Hooray for the fun!

Hooray fer she pumpkin pie!”

Hazing Abolished At
Connecticut College

The thin white line of night shirted
freshmen is a thing of the past at
Connecticut Agricultural College.
Henceforth there will be no nocturnal
parade of first year
“How Green We Are” with upper-
classmen thumping and bethwacking
with paddles and upperclass women
squealing with delight. An order of
the President of the college abolishes
this parade along with all other forms
of hazing.

Because one freshman was _ seri-
ously injured by the over zealous pad-
dlers the following comprehensive
hazing rule is now in force:

“Any initiation ceremony or prac-
tical joking that involves physical,
personal injury or bodily harm, or the
performance, under threat of force
of any action that entails the surren-

der of one’s self respect shall be
deemed hazing.”

Another form of hazing that will go
is the practice of giving freshmen
cold showers as punishment for vio-
lation of rules—New Student News

The alumnae had a tea on Novem-

decorated. Tea and cakes were served
from three to five in the afternoon.
This tea is to be given every year in
honor of Miss Young and as an “open
house” for the alumnae. Those pres-

Washinton D,. C—The Ways and
“Means Committee of the House has
“presented the country with a bounti-
ful Christmas present in the shape of
the new tax bill, which offers a
Sweeping reduction in the taxes. Mr.
‘Taxpayer and his wife may breathe
a sigh of relief, and go on with their
‘Christmas shopping. Uncle Sam will
eave the menough money this year to
‘pay the bills. The cut amounts to
-$300,000,000, from the revising of the
‘income tax exemption, the lowering of
the rate, the reduction of inheritance
‘tax by one half. It is to be hoped

that the last named will not affect the |

value of Florida real estate, tho in
the past many wealthy men have
taken up their legal residence in that
‘state because it has no inheritance
tax.
Incidentally, the Committee is rec-
ommending this ne whill also included
in it a clause repealing the publicity
feature of the income tax—a change
‘widely advocated.
Soviet Distrust for Locarno
The Soviet press is pretending to
see in the recent Locarno treaties,
which united all Western Europe in a
new effort for peace, menaces for the
‘safety of the Soviet Union. They re-
¢all the treaty of Rapelle which
pledged Gérmany and Russia to co-
Operate economically, and claim that
the new treaties represent Germany’s
apitulation to English domination.
Germany, they say, has become Eng-
Jand’s “tool.” Russia thinks that she
thas lost an ally, and the world thinks
that she has lost one—to the ultimate
wood of all nations.
Walker in Atlanta
Last week the center of Democratic

elect James Walker of New York
Stopped off in the heart of MeAdoo’s
country on his way to Florida and
Was entertained by one of the McAdoo
leaders. Mr. Walker is a close friend
of Governor Al Smith to whom he
owes a large part of his success in
the recent campaign, but he insisted
that he was not trying to “sell” Al
Smith to the South, only trying to
’sell” Tammany Hall. That he suc-
ceeded in the latter attempt is shown
by the favorable comments of the
press. How much effect this may
have on the
Smith for the 1928 nomination for the
presidency is uncertain. Some papers
maintain that the South is now ready
to accept him, while others say that
no matter how much it may admire
his political sagacity and success, it
will balk at the nomination. None the
less Mayor-elect Walker has brought
Tammany Hall closer to the South
than she has been for many a day.
Italians Pay

Italy has offered a shining example
to the world of how to live at peace
With your creditors. She has con-
@luded an agreement with us by which
she is to pay $2,042,000,000 within 62
years. The most exciting part of
the whole affair is that she has
already began to pay. The first pay-
nent of five million was not due until
next June, but the Italian Debt Com-
missioner handed a check to the
P reasury Department for that amount
when the agreement was signed. The
freasury Department actually won-
fered whether they dare take it, “it
Was so sudden,” but the Italians said
that they mean it to show that they
igned the entire agreement in good
laith. May their example penetrate

or more attending each performance. |

Athletic News

Sophomore vs. Freshmen
Seniors vs. Juniors

While the Sophomores were cheer-
ing gloriously for the Blue and
White, the Freshmen were sympathiz- |
ing with a mighty flow of alligator
tears for the lost cause of the Fresh-
men. Every one was on her eyebrow
rooting for the “right” side and if
noise could have rattled anyone, the
“Home Team” would have been worse
off than Mr. Jones’ Ford fender.

The Seniors were so excited over
the mere possibility of giving the
Juniors a taste of sweet defeat that
they tried the most startling and
clever piece of strategy ever at-
tempted at Agnes Scott. For a week
beforehand, the team had spread
weird reports concerning the disabil-
ity of some of the regular players,
so when the teams were lined up,
ready for the fray, we were only |
mildly surprised at the queer athletes.
But just as the whistle was abort to

rush and lo and behold, instead of the
usual Redcoats, the regular Senior
team tripped out in gym uniform. It
was exciting—bnt it did not work, for
the final score was 30 to i4 in favor
of the Juniors. The Freshman-Soph-
omore score was 27 to 9, the big end
going to the Sophomores. .

INTRODUCTION.
Why is it that the World Court

| question has not been settled by Amer-

ica as the other countries have set-
tled it? Why has America taken a
different attitude from that of other
countries?

For today we find ourselves prac-
tically alone in the world on the side
of the question that we have chosen.
Practically all the entire civilized
world has joined the World Court;
forty-seven nations to be exact have
taken this step.

Why are we standing alone? Is it
because we alone have studied this
subject thoroughly and dispassionate-
ly and reached an adverse opinion by
solid reasoning? Are we right and the
rest of the world wrong? That could
be possible. On the other hand is
the query, “Have the other nations
entered because they have considered
the matter more fully, and with less
bias than we?”

THE WORLD COURT

The Permanent Court of Interna-
tional Justice, commonly called the
World Court, has been made possibly
largely through the agency of Amer-
ican statesmen.

“From its foundation,” writes Sec-
retary Hughes, “this government has
taken a leading part in promoting the

”

judicial settlement of international
disputes.”
Five American presidents—Mc-

Kinley, Roosevelt, Taft, Wilson and
Harding—and two American Secre-
taries of State—Hay and Root—have
specifically advocated an international
Court of Justice.

In obedience: to--Article 14-0f to
Covenant, the Council of the League
of Nationals (February 13, 1920) set
up a Committee of international jur-

lists to draft the Statute of the World

Court. This Statute was referred to
the nations individually, and signed
by forty-seven of them. To date
thirty-six have completed their formal
ratification,

The Court first met on January 30,
1922, at the Hague for the purpose
of organization. On June 15, 1922,
it met and began its work in the ju-
dicial settlement of international dis-
putes. Since that time the increasing
length of the docket has compelled
the court to lengthen its session each
During the short period since
its creation, the Court has rendered
five judgments and ten advisory opin-
ions. These rulings were taken by the
parties involved as the final basis of
adjustment of disputes.

THE MAKE-UP. OF THE COURT

1. The Court is composed of elev-
en regular judges and four Deputy-
Judges. Each Judge elected for
nine years and may be re-elected.

is

Nominations for Judges are

|made by the national groups repre-
| sented

in the “Permanent Court of
Arbitration.” They are elected by the
majority vote of two specially desig-
nated electoral bodies, each body act-
ing separately. Four Americans are
members of the “Court of Arbitra-
tion,” and have the right to make
nominations to the judgeships, which
right they exercised in 1923.

3. The Court “shall be composed

countries for appointment to the high-
est judicial offices . ? GAs, 22 ys

EDITORIAL

WORLD COURT STUDENT POLL

December 17th is the day when the Senate will decide whether
or not America is to enter the World Court. The question of
America’s entrance is the most vital one confronting our nation
today, and a problem which will enlist the sympathy of every
citizen interested in the progress of the world toward unity and
peace, The students of the United States, realizing the importance
of the question, have felt that they would like to exert upon the
Senate whatever influence they may have as a body. Therefore,
the New Student, a publication in the interest of students, and the
Council of Christian Associations, a combination of the national
Y. M. and Y. W. Associations, are conducting 2. national student
vote, whereby they will tally and make public before December 17
the opinion of college students as regards America’s entrance
into the World Court. Colleges and Universities throughout the
United States are asked to conduct student polls, and doubtless,
numbers will comply. Agnes Scott will have her straw vote this
week, students being asked to vote by number on the following
four proposals, that is, to write No. 1 ona slip of paper which will
be furnished in Chapel one morning, if they are in favor of pro-
posal No. 1, No, 2, if in favor of proposal No. 2, etc. Everybody
is asked to study carefully the following four proposals in order
that she may be able to vote intelligently.

The Proposals

1. For U. S. participation in the World Court under th
“Harding-Hughes-Coolidge terms,” which are:

First, that the admission of the U. S. to the Court shall not
be taken to involve any legal relation to the League of Nations
or the assumption of any obligations under the Covenant;

Third, that the U.S. shall pay a fair share of the expenses
with other nations in the election of the judge by the Council and
Assembly of the League;

Third, that the U. S. shalll pay a fair share of the expenses
of the Court as determined and appropriated from time to time by
the Congress of the U. S.;

Fourth, that the statute for the Court shall not be amended
without the consent of the U. S.;

Fifth, that the U.S. shall not be bound by advisory opinions
rendered by the Court upon questions that the U.S. has not volun-
tarily submitted for its judgment.

2. For U. 8. participation under the “Harmony Plan” of
thirty peace leaders, which is:

First. The immediate adherence of the U. S. to the Court
Protocol, with the Harding-Hughes-Coolidge reservations:

Second. Within two years after the adherence by the United
States to the Court Protocol, the signatorise thereto, including the
U. S. Government, shall formally declare their endorsement of
the following basic principles of the outlawry of war, and shall call
an international conference of all civilized nations for the purpose
of making a general treaty embodying these principles:

(a). War between nations shall be outlawed by making it a
crime, under the law of nations. (The question of self-defense
against attack or invasion is not involved or affected.)

(b). A code of the international law of peace, based upon the
outlawing of war and upon equality and justice among all nations,
great and small, shall be formulated and adopted.

(c). When war is outlawed, the Permanent Court of Interna-
tional Justice shall be granted affirmative jurisdiction over inter-
national controversies between sovereign nations as provided for
and defined in the code, and arising under treaties.

Third. Should signatories within two years after the adher-

We are informed by the advocates
of our “joining” the court:that the
new international court is a cherished
American ideal; that it substitutes
a judicial court for ephemeral and
temporary arbitral tribunals; that it
substitutes adjudication by law for
adjudication by and deci-
sion by law for decision by com-
promise; that the issue is between

those “who want to set up machinery”
for the settlement of international
disputes according to law and those
who in disdain of all effort would con-
tinue the present anarchic state, that
the new international court is urgent-
ly needed if peace is to be assured,
and that by staying out we are block-
ing the world’s efforts for peace; that
it is either this world court or none;
that we would be under no obligation
to submit to the court any dispute we
desired to keep from it; that the court
has no serious connection with the
League of Nations; and that we would
make reservations expressly entering
a caveat against any association with
the league.

The opponents of our “joining” the
court assert the court is the child of
the league and the step proposed
would inevitably draw us into other
commitments to the league; that it is
intended by some of its proponents
as an entering wedge to the league;
that the jurisdiction of the court is
not obligatory; and that the strongest
nations were the first to denounce the
obligatory clause; that there is no pro-
vision for the enforcement of its de-
cisions; that other nations can nu-
merically outvote us in the assembly
in the election of judges; and that to
visualize the court as an agency for
peace is an illusion.

The arguments thus advanced on
both sides indicate that the issue has
become political in nature. While that
is neither avoidable nor to be depre-
cated in a demoeracy, it has a tend-
ency to becloud the issue by generat-
ing waves of emotional morality which
confuse rather than enlighten. It is
believed that an analysis of the prob-
lem in the light of the professions of
both sides may serve a useful pur-
pose.

Underlying the arguments of the
proponents of our “joining” the so-
called world court runs the major as-
sumption that the court would fur-
nish a substitute for war, at least
in part; that nations desire a court
of this kind for the settlement of
their disputes, and that the creation
of the new court invites the nations
to submit their differences to peace-
ful adjudication.

On the issue whether the court will
furnish a substitute for war, it is well
to examine the actual jurisdiction of
the court, as provided in its statute,
As is well known, its jurisdicition is
limited exclusively to legal questions;
over political questions the court has
no jurisdiction. It is also well to re-
member that the Council of the league,
when they received the report of the
Committee of Jurists which recom-
mended obligatory jurisdiction of the
legal issues mentioned, promptly
struck out the provision for obliga-
tory jurisdiction. The larger Powers
were still unwilling to submit auto-
matically the most legal of questions
to judicial determination. The obli-
gation to submit was left optional,
and forunately some fifteen smaller
nations on condition of reciprocity,
have ratified the optional clause.

COMMENTS ON THE WORLD COURT

may be hoped that the practice will
prove contagious. Thus far the clause
has not yet been invoked in a practi-
cal case,

But more important still is the fact
that the issues that have led to war
between nations are rarely purely le-
gal in character. They are political
and economic, of a type which law
cannot yet reach, and it is precisely
these questions over which the court
has no jurisdiction. Professor Hud-
son, one of the most ardent advocates
of the League of the court, admits
in his recent book that.

“It is chiefly with reference to non-
juridical questions that nations are
likely to fight. For the most part,
the kind of case that comes before
the courts, the kind of case that has
come before the Permanent Court of
Arbitration, for instance, is not the
kind of case which leads to war”; and
again, “It is true that the large polit-
ical questions about which nations
might go to war will not generally
come before the court.” The asser-
tion sometimes heard the the oppo-
nents of America’s “joining” the court
are obstructing the ‘world’s peace”
deserves re-examination.

In view of the limited jurisdiction
of the court, consisting of what have
been termed justifiable or strictly le-
gal questions, the reluctance of the
larger Powers to make jurisdiction in
these cases obligatory is to be re-
gretted. It is an indication of the
fact that we are still a long way from
the substitution of amicable for bel-
ligerent methods in the settlement of
international disputes. One of the
necessary weaknesses of the court
consists in the very fact that it is not
likely to prove an effective agency in
removing for a long time to come
the bane of war from the recognized
institutions of international rela-
tions. This weakness goes to the very
root of international relations in what
I venture to call this socially back-
ward age. No mere addition of ma-
chinery can create that necessary will
to peace whith is’ the best guaranty
of the efficacy of an international
court. Perhaps Locarno is a symbol
of the realization of this fact. The
unwillingness to submit to judicial
settlement is conditioned by underly-
ing factors inherent in the existing
international system, which persuades
nations to decline to submit what they
consider important issues to the arbi-
tration of impartial judges. Note the
almost universal exception of ques-
tions of national honor, independence
and vital interests, from arbitration
treaties. The judicial process is weak-
ened by a stipulation that there shall
be no submission of anything impor-
tant.

On the other hand, it must be said
that the Permanent Court has thus
far done its work well. While con-
fined almost entirely to the interpre-
tation of the treaties of peace and the
arrangements effected under them,
and while occupied principally with
advisory opinions, it nevertheless has
demonstrated its usefulness. The ad-
visory opinion, though not involving
strictly a judicial function, has been
arrived at with all the thoroughness
and technique of a judicial proceed-
ing. Though there still seem to be
some support in the court for the se-
cret opinion and the decision of ‘cases
where the defendant is absent, it is
believed that the court will hardly
think of adopting these objectionable

which are that the U. 8. should not join the World Court until:

First. International law has been codified.

Second. War has been outlawed by the nations.

Third. The World Court has been given complete jurisdiction.
The U. S. is not thereby to be connected with the League of
Nations.

4. Against U. S. participation in the World Court.

Unfortunately the common assump-
tion that the nations seriously desire
an international court for the settle-
ment of their disputes, is not alto-
gether well founded. Nations desire
an international tribunal and have
had no difficulty in establishing one
ad hoe when the occasion arises, when
the dispute is unimportant or would
not justify the expense of war, or
when political considerations dictate
submission to arbitration rather than
recourse to war—in short, when they
feel that they have more to gain by
arbitration or other forms of peaceful
settlement, such as mediation, than
by war. The hundreds of arbitra-
tions that have been held illustrate
this fact. But when the issue is such
that peaceful adjustment seems in-
appropriate or inadvisable, the peace-
ful method is not chosen, not because
there is no machinery for peace, but
because there is no will to peace.

If I judge correctly the temper of
the world—at least down to Locarno
—there is probably less disposition to
adopt the civilized methods of ad-
justing conflicting interests than there
has been for some time. Few people
realize or are willing to contemplate
the fact that eleven years of devas-
tating war and disintegrating peace
have undermined the moral founda-
tions of many densely populated areas
of the world, and that there is more
faith in the efficacy of force—accom-
panied by a growing contempt for
law—as a solution for international
differences than there has been since
the days of Napoleon. The forces of
disintegration, unless soon checked,
may ultimately overpower the forces
of reconstruction, due primarily, I be- f
lieve, to the shortsighted policy of the
present managers of European politi-
cal affairs.

In the light of the fact that the so-
called World Court can have but lit-
tle relation to the problem of peace,
the issue as to whether the United
States should now “join” it or not
can hardly be placed on the ground
that peace will thereby either be pro-
moted or retarded. That issue, I be-
lieve, is unreal and fanciful. Perhaps
we ought to aid any movement that
even looks to the judicial settlement
of disputes, but when one of the an-
nounced inducements for our joining
the court is that we would never have ]
to submit a case to it, encouraging an
inference that probably we never
would, one may properly question the
purpose that it is intended that our
joining shall subserve. Is it merely
to encourage others to submit to the
court? Is it just a sentimental ques-
tion without possibility of any tangi-
ble effect on us? Is this the cherished
American ideal? Persons having a
serious desire to govern their actions
by intelligence rather than emotion
have a right to ask such questions.
Can it be that the political platform
which so long dedicated a plank to
the conception of an international
court contemplated a court to which
we would never have to submit a case?
We have such a court now in the
Permanent Court of Arbitration, and
to it we have submitted four substan-
tial controversies. Would we submit
any more cases to a court over whose
composition for years to come we
would probably have no say? If this
is not likely, ag is believed, just what
important function is our joining the
court designed to subserve? If it will
not bring to the court any more cases,
is it intended merely as a friendly
gesture, as an evidence of our moral
support to nations having greater de-
sire or courage to submit disputes?

Or is the charge of the more vig-
orous opponents of our “joining” the
court sustainable, namely, that it con-
stitutes, as Mr. Hoover intimated and
President Harding denied, a first step
toward the League of Nations? If it
does inyolve such a possibility, at least
there is here a genuine issue as to
policy. Although the court is the di-
rect creation of the league and de-
pends upon the league budget for its
support, it may be that it is so far
dissociated from its organization that
adhering to the protocol creating the
court, as the administration spokes-
men have asserted, will involve no
other commitments to the league. Yet
the fact that so many professional

As the basketball season draws to

great advantage because the referee,

RELATION TO THE COURT

OF ARBITRATION

The “permanent Court of Interna-
tional Justice” should not be confused
with the “Permanent Court of Arbi-
tration.” This latter was established
as a result of the first Hague Peace
Conference in 1899 and still exists.

The earlier organization is not in
any sense a court. It is merely a
panel of about 130 Judges scattered
all over the world, nominated by the
various countries as men suitable for
service as committees or boards of ar-
bitration when they may be needed.
They never meet as a body. Each ar-
bitrational tribunal is organized for
dealing with a particular case and
when its work is done it adjourns
never to meet again.

Golden Rule Sunday,
December 6th

“Are your plans all set for the ob-
servance of Golden Rule Sunday, De-
cember sixth? On this day all the
world is asked to eat bread and stew
or cook a frugal meal as a reminder
that Near East Relief orphans can-
not live except we practice the Golden
Rule.

“There are now close to 35,000 who
look to America for their support.
This number does not include the chil-

is not only feeding and housing this
huge aggregation of parentless chil-
dren, but each boy and girl is being
trained for self support. Nearly all

the children are less than twelve years
of age. Practically all are unde:
fourteen, and at fifteen or sixteen
they must be equipped to start out
“on their own.” In the cases of ex-
ceptional children, tourists interested
in their welfare sometime provide for
advanced training in the American
colleges at Beirut or Constantinople.

Charles W. Thwing, President
Emeritus of Western Reserve Univer-
sity, and chairman of the Near East
Relief Committee for schools and
colleges, has written the heads of
American institutions of learning
asking them to institute Golden Rule
dinners.

“International Golden Rule Sunday
commends itself as worthy of the
heartiest cooperation of all of us in
America, who are especially engaged
in the work of education,” writes
President Thwing. “A year ago many
universities and schools shared in this
observance. It is my belief that this
year a far greater number will give
thought to making the day count in
and for our lives, as well as for the
generous care and education of these
orphans.”

Five dollars will support an orphan
for a month. Money may be sent to
national headquarters, Near East Re-
hef, 151 Fifth Avenue, where Golden
Rule literature and further informa-
tion may be obtained.

SENIOR RINGS ARRIVE

The Senior rings arrived Friday
afternoon, Nov. 20th, slightly late, be-
cause Investiture was all over.

The style of the ring this year is
a little different from those of for-
mer years; the class number, ’26, was
added, placed to the right of the seal.

Many feasts, parties, and teas were
given by the Seniors, at which the
rings were duly presented to the
Sophomore sisters.

Giddie Gossip
Dearest Giddie:

It’s almost Thanksgiving and I am
so excited over the holiday that I can
hardly wait, but I must tell you a
few happenings of last week.

Giddie, you know the Seniors gave
a Country Fair Saturday night and
everybody was supposed to do some
hand work for the art exhibit. Well,
Emily Daugherty used her mind in-
stead of her hand, for it happened

that her hand work was done in
China, and she won first prize! But I
suppose it was alright because Mrs.
Sydenstricker was the judge,

Oh, yes! and have I told you what a
good Presbyterian “Ted” Wallace is?
You see it happened like this: Helen
Fox accused Lena Slemp of being a
“*Procrastinator,”’ and Ted immediate-
ly said, “Why, that’s the creed of the
Presbyterian Church; I’ve heard my
minister say so many a time.” And,
Giddie, we found out she thought Pro-
erastination and Predestination were
the same thing!

And, Giddie, you remember Miss
Stansfield, don’t you? Well, today
she was in the best humor. Why she
didn’t even give her Latin prose class
a lesson for Friday! And at the close
of the period she asked, and “shyly”
answered the following conundrum:
“Why is the first and second conjune-
tion in Latin like a happy school
girl?” “Because they have a ‘bo. ”
We all wondered if there was any
significance to this remark (?).

You know Dora Ferrell and Mary
Prim have formed a Henry club, and
today both were excited for each had
received a telegram from her Henry.
In the midst of their excitement they
suddenly remembered that Miss Hop-
kins read all telegrams, and you
should have seen them blush. I can’t
imagine why, can you?

But before I close I must tell you
about Miss Lillian Smith. You re-
member last year when Miss Smith
drove her new car through the back
of her garage? Well, she explained
that she would have had a serious ac-
cident had she not been a careful
driver. We surely are glad she is
careful, aren’t we?

Write me real soon.

Yours,
AGGIE.

dren than patience, because either the

Messiah Rendered
By Glee Club

On Sunday afternoon, December
6th, the Agnes Scott Choral Society,
in company with members of Atlanta
choirs, and of the Emory Glee Club,
presented Handel’s “Messiah” at 3
o'clock in the chapel. The chorus, un-
usually large and well-trained, was
assisted by the following artists:

Helen Bates.-c a nceccecseecstnccecx Soprano
Frances G. Stukes.................- Contralto
Homer Faulkner. .........................Tenor
Walter Herbert ....22::..-5:.---.:-.05--: Bass
C. W. Dieckmann...............-....-. Organist
Lewis.) J OWYEON...<..------<-ccee Director

The program was divided into two
parts; “Part the First” dealing with
the annunciation and birth of Christ,
“Part the Second” with His rejection
and resurrection. The presentation
opened with the overture and ended
with the well-known Hallelujah
Chorus, the audience standing, accord-
ing to custom. One of the most beau-
tiful features was the organ solo,
“Pastoral Symphony,” played by Mr.
Dieckmann in the first part.

“The Messiah” has been given sev-
eral times at Agnes Scott, but it was
exceedingly well presented this year.
The soloists, although amateurs, show
that they possess voices well worth
cultivating. We hope that the interest
manifested in this musical celebration
will make it a traditional entertain-
ment which will be presented every
year about Christmas time by the
Glee Club,

Mr. Chapman
Speaks to K. U. B.

K. U. B., the journalistic club of
Agnes Scott, has been having a series
of talks on different phases of jour-
nalism at its regular meetings. At
the last meeting, Mr. Ashton Chap-
man, who is connected with the Book
Review Department of the Atlanta
Journal, spoke on “Woman's Place in
Journalism.”

Mr. Chapman began by giving some
good advice to those who were con-
sidering journalism as a profession.
He said that everyone who wishes to
become a journalist should study
shorthand. A course in journalism
would be extremely helpful to all who
intend to take up this line of work.

The speaker then discussed the va-
rious stages through which a woman
would probably pass before she be-
came a full-fledged editor, unless she
were able to buy a paper and run it
herself. She will probably be con-
nected first with the social depart-
ment of the paper; from this, in six
months or so, she may be promoted
to the “obituary” department. The
next step is the police court, after
which she will most probably become
a full reporter. The goal of all news-
paper work is the editorship. Besides
going through the regular stages of
journalism, women are often contrib-
utors to the feature section or the
book reviews.

A good many people take up jour-
nalism as a side issue, to get the
experience necessary to write either
short stories or fiction. This is one
of the best preparations for the work
of an author.

At the close of the meeting, delici-
ous punch and cakes were served, and
everyone enjoyed meeting Mr. Chap-
man.

Pi Alpha Phi Meets

A debate of much interest was held
at Pi Alpha Phi’s last meeting on:
Resolved, that China should be
granted complete jurisdiction over
customs, tariffs and foreigners within
her boundaries. Rachel Henderlite,
Elsa Jacobson, and Olivia Swann up-
held the affirmative side; and Mary
Davis, Rowena Punnette, and Cath-
erine Graeber, the negative. Decision
was rendered in favor of the affirma-
tive.

is generally conceded to have been
“Deep in My Heart, Dear,” sung by
the Prince and Kathie, and similar to
the famous “Song of Love” of “Blos-
som Time,” by the same composer.
“Just We Two,” sung by the Princess
and Tauritz, and “Memories,” a solo
by the Prince, were especially good.
The enthusiastic response of the au-
dience to “real music” proves that we
are not such a jazz-mad people after
all.

The costumes, “a blaze of spectacu-
lar brillance,” were another of the
main features of The Student Prince.
In the ball-room scene at the court in
Act III, the display was especially
gorgeous and beautiful.

The acting was splendid. Lloyd
Garrett as the Prince, his voice a “di-
vine tenor”; Ruth Williams as Kathie,
and Bess Bratcher as the Princess,
made an excellent “triangle.” Joseph
Martel as Dr. Engel was good. Leo
Stark and James Rosen furnished the
comic element.

Kar! Hahn, noted symphony orches-
tra conductor and composer, added
greatly to the success of the play by
his splendid orchestra.

We are sure, and we hope, that the
enthusiastic reception shown The
Student Prince will soon bring it
back again to Atlanta.

Daddy Long
Legs Presented

Saturday evening, December 5,
Blackfriars presented “Daddy Long
Legs,” their first long play in the new
auditorium. Every one who remem-
bered the presentation of “Little
Women” in 1924 was especially inter-
ested in seeing Blackfriars in an-
other full-length play. Also every one
was interested in seeing just how our
new stage would react to stage scen-
ery; and they were surely satisfied,
for Blackfriars was strutting new
seenery to the tune of $500.

There were two presentations of
“Daddy Long Legs,” a matinee espe-
cially for Decatur children, and an
evening performance for everyone
who cared to come.

An unusually strong cast presented
the play:

Jervis Pendleton.......... Roberta Winter

Biology Club of
Agnes Scott Meets

A very interesting meeting of the
Biwlogy Ciubs vt
Emory University was held in the
Biology lecture room at Agnes Scott
on Tuesday evening, December first.
Dr. Sellers, from the State Board of
Health, was the chief speaker of the
evening. He gave an instructive talk
on parasitic worms, showing their
diversity and danger. Dr. Baker, of
Emory, who is president of the Biol-
ogy Club, was present and introduced
the speaker. Miss Pirkle, of the fac-
ulty of Agnes Scott, was elected sec-
retary of the club.

A delightful social hour followed
the meeting, during which coffee and
sandwiches were served.

“EDITORIAL

THE AGE OF YOUTH.

The time has passed forever when the four years on a college
campus were regarded entirely as a period of isolation and reflec-
tion; and when students themselves were divided into those whe
pored over Latin and Greek and those who idled their time away,
in either case, inconsiderable for the present. With the broad-
ening of the curriculum to take in subjects of more practical
value, with the huge increase in the number of men and women
attending college (those women being now enfranchised), and
with the aim of a college being to produce intelligent citizens
more than assiduous scholars, the people of the world have come to
find college students important for the present as well as for the
future. America is fast coming to recognize her college youths
as-a factor of practical import politically and religiously.

The World Court question served as a stimulus to arouse the
students of the United States to a sense of their own responsi-
bility and possible influence in regard to political affairs. The
readiness with which leading senators and other government of-
ficials have complied with requests to write articles on the World
Court for student papers and to lecture at the Princeton National
Student Conference on the World Court show their faith in the
student-body. And, indeed, why should not student opinion, when
it is based on information and investigation, be as worthy of in-
fluence, as that of an ordinary voter, who is on the whole much
less intelligent and well educated?

Universities and colleges have long been ideal places for
theological discussion, but the practical affairs of the church
have never been brought largely into the hands of students.
Against all precedent, then will be the Student Interdenomina-
tional Conference to be held at Evanston, IIl., the latter part of
this December, with the purpose of discussing problems of de-
nominationalism. What success the conference will meet cannot
yet be told; but there is no reason why, if it is conducted on
conservative grounds, it should not have much influence. At
any rate, the attempt at such a conference shows a tendency to
place some practical responsibility on college students.

Students have always been considered very important, po-
litically, religiously, economically and socially from the stand-
point of the kind of future citizens their present education will
tend to make of them; but it is only of late that they have come
to have any present importance at all in the world of affairs.
With such double recognition comes double responsibility.

Youth of America, as strong as the autumn winds, and
as free, be brave of heart and steadfast of soul; for in your
hands lies much of the present and half of the future destiny of
the world.

PASSION PLAY
IN ATLANTA

THE AGON IT S&T EC

Historic Christ
Church in Phil’phia

Old Christ Church, on Second Street
below Arch Street, Philadelphia, has
heard the prayers of America’s first
patriots beseeching freedom from ty-
ranny. Visitors to the Sesquicenten-
nial

International Exposition next
year will searcely find a landmark of
more historical significance.

Construction of the ancient sanctu-
ary, which is of pure Colonial archi-
tecture, was begun in 1727. Dissen-
sion regarding an environment con-
ducive to worship must have abounded
for many alterations were made, and
it was only after the pulpit was
moved twice, the gallery enlarged, the
seats altered, and the twenty-four
branch chandelier hung, that the body
of the church was completed in 1744.
The pillars alone seem to have been
made of adamant.

Funds for a steeple and bells were
raised by means of a lottery. The
latter would indicate a more broad-
minded attitude on the part of our
forefathers toward funding expenses
than is the custom of the 20th century
vestryman, There can be no doubt
that it was oversubscribed since Ben-
jamin Franklin was one of its man-
agers. The tower and steeple were
completed in 1753-54, and a chime of
eight bells, costing five hundred
pounds, was imported.

The old pulpit of 1770, the prayer
desks made from the original high
desk, and the old communion table be-
low the altar, remain to this day. The
font, at which Bishop White, Francis
Hopkinson, and a long list of worthies
were baptized, was replaced in 1879
by one which was the gift of Jonathan
Gostelowe. The beautiful silver bowl,
weighing over sixty-three ounces, pre-
sented by Colonel Robert Quarry ot
the British Army in 1712, is still used.

It is the general impression that

Women’s Clubs of Atlanta has spon-
sored the showing in Atlanta of this
truly remarkable film, made at Freid-

of the audience at the real perform-
ance makes it almost impossible to
see all of the many scenes (which are
played side by side, in a long line of
box-like stages) so that we are espe-
cially fortunate in having this acces-
sible film version. The same players
are used, Adolphe and George Fass-
nacht taking the hereditary roles of

Philadelphia, was a regular attendant
However, it ap-
pears from the correspondence of
Bishop White with Colonel Mercer
that the General was at one time a
worshipper at St. Peter’s. Says Bish-
op White: “He was an antipode to
those who are in the habit of chang-
ing the places of their attendance.”

Many distinguished men were buried
under the floors of Christ Church, in-
cluding Bishop White and his brother-
in-law, Robert Morris. In the bury-
ing ground at the southeast corner of
Fifth and Arch Streets were buried
Franklin and his wife, Deborah; Gen-
eral James Irvine, Major William
Jackson, the Rev. Bird Wilson, Pey-
ton Randolph, president of the First
Continental Congress, and Francis
Hopkinson.

The Rev. Jacob Duche, a gentleman
with Tory proclivities, shepherded the
illustrious Christ Church flock during
the stirring period of 1776. On the
Fourth of July, after the reading of
the Declaration, he permitted the bells
of the church to chime merrily, be-
coming, for the moment, a patriot.
Later he wrote his famous letter to
Washington, in which he states that
he insisted upon using the prayer for
the royal family till the last moment,
though threatened with violence; but
that on the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, not being able to consult his
spiritual superior, he called his vestry
together and solemnly put the ques-
tion, whethey they thought it best for
the congregations to close the church-
es or to continue the services without
using the petitions for the royal fam-
ily. The vestry promptly decided:
“The Honorable Continental Congress,
having resolved to declare the Amer-
ican Colonies to be free and indepen-
dent States: it will be proper to omit
those petitions.”

Verily, the clerical conscience was
salved with opportunism.

by professionals. The whole play.
however, is under the general direc-
tion of a professional, Dimitri Buch-
ovetski, making a splendid combina-
tion of inspired talent and trained su-
pervision.

In every way the Passion Play is
unique. Nowhere else in the world is
there such an institution; no doubt no
other film will ever be made of the
sacred drama. All Atlantians are
deeply grateful to the Federation of
Women’s Clubs for the opportunity
it has offered them of seeing this
remarkable play.

World Court in Colleges Should Be an
Academic Question; Not Political Issue

(Courtesy of the Yale Daily News)

Those who are opposed to the pro-
posal that the United States partici-
pate immediately and without con-
ditions in the work of the World
Court, thus becoming a member state,
are accused of being isolationists, of
working against world peace, and of
being unwilling to substitute law for
war. Nothing could be more unfound-
ed and foolish than this accusation. It
betrays a tragic lack of objectivity on
the part of the most of the propagan-
dists for the World Court. They are
under the spell of a great idea; to
them the World Court issue has be-
come the symbol and test of America’s
willingness to cooperate with other
nations in the effort to diminish the
chances of war. Being in this sub-
jective frame of mind they are im-
patient with those who insist upon ex-
amining the World Court proposal
without parti pris.

Herein lies the danger. Instead of
educating public opinion the World
Court propagandists are endeavoring
to stampede it. From senate chamber
to college mass meeting the World
Court issue is being presented as the
great choice between following the
path toward peace or the path to-
ward war. In the Senate and in pub-
lic mass meetings, if the World Court
is a political issue, as it seems to be,
that is all right. In the colleges it
is all wrong. College students should
be kept free of mass meetings and
propaganda on this question. It
should remain an academic question
—mark the word!

The entry of the United States into
the World Court may be a wise thing
and it may help the cause of world
peace. But only if the American peo-
ple have first—not afterwards, but
first—made definite stipulations gov-
erning their participation in the tri-
bunal and have had these stipulations
understood and accepted by the other
states.

1. We want to be sure that the
World Court, alfhough it may have
been created as a result of an article
in the League Covenant, is not an or-
gan of or dependent in any way upon
the League of Nations. We want to
be sure that our entry into the World
Court will not commit us, even indi-
rectly, to the endorsement of or guar-
anteeing League policies. This is far
more important than it seems on the
surface. The European Powers which
control the Council of the League of
Nations submit to the World Court
only questions which they cannot set-
tle themselves or for which they want
a wide international “moral under-
writing” of the decision. We should
be the only Great Power on the bench
of the Court which is not a member
of the League Council. When our
representative is simply a judge help-
ing to render the verdict in accord-
ance with the evidence, or the techni-
calities of the law, is it not possible
to suppose, unless the contrary is
clearly understood before we enter
the Court, that his vote may be taken
to imply the. approval or disapproval
of the United States in some question
that it is to our interest to avoid get-
ting mixed up with?

bership in the Court cannot be used

fore the bar of the World Court in

“College editors need sand,’ said
Dean W. W. Ball, of the University
School of Journalism, in his address
before the South Carolina College
Press Association.

“We need men,” he continued, “who
are not afraid to tell the contributor
that the article is bad, and throw it

into the waste basket. For many
times, through friendships, arti-

cles slip in that way. It is a pity
that the college editor can not be an
autocrat, like the editors of city pa-
pers,

“College editors should be forceful
in their editorials, and should bring
the real problems out so that all the

world could review them. There is a

tendency to do that now in the dif-
ferent publications, and I am glad.”

We believe that freedom of speech
is an attribute of editorials which is
not overlooked by college publications.
A more complete practice of such a
theory, together with such earnest ef-
fort on the part of contributors that
no articles would deserve the waste
basket end, would certainly go faz
toward perfecting the college news-
papers.

A new social club, “The Baronets,”
has been founded at the University
of Florida. The formation of this club
shows that the University has real-
ized and is meeting a need, evolved
from the tendency toward fraternity,
or group isolation. The object of the
club is to promote cordial relations
between the respective fraternities to
which the members belong, and
through this, to foster Florida spirit
and tradition—Florida Alligator,

A professor at Kansas State Col-
lege has settled the old dispute about
who were the successful men after
graduation, the honor students or the
poor ones. He found (few may laugh,
many weep) that college grades are a
fairly good indication of what success
you will have in after life. Fifty
per cent of college graduates making
outstanding successes were from the
group which received the high marks.
Only seventeen per cent were in the
low class group.—The Carolinian,

“World Court in Colleges should be
an academie question, not a political
issue,” says the Salemite. “Those
who are opposed to the proposal that
the United States participate imme-
diately and without conditions in the
work of the World Court, thus becom-
ing a member state, are accused of
being isolationists, of working against
world peace, and of being unwilling
to substitute law for war. Nothing
could be more unfounded and foolish
than this accusation. College stu-
dents should be kept free of mass
meetings and propaganda on this
question. It should remain an acca-
demic question, concerning the issue,
Will the World Court Lead to Peace
or War?”

_ THE ACON TE § TIC

| Giddie Gossip |

I am as excited as a freshman. Just
two more weeks before we go home.
‘Bhink of the luxury of being able to
leave your shoes under the bed with
no fear that Miss Miller will brand
your room as disgraceful! And won’t
home seem like heaven when Monday
morning is not ushered in by the in-
evitable crys of, “Anybody going to
the library’—‘“‘Any dry cleaning for
the Trio?”

And not the least advantage of
home will be a chance to talk to the
boy friend—with no one to scream
“three minutes” at you. If you have
had any experience with telephones
at Agnes Seott you know that one of
the oldest traditions is never to post
the right number when a phone call is
left. Last night Mildred Jennings
got a call and they followed the usual
custom. So the number she eventually
got was Chris Wood’s Musis Shop!
Maybe she wanted to buy a record of
“Washerwoman Blues.”

The freshmen are showing marked
improvement, my dear. Dorothy Hut-
ton no longer thinks that Dr. Good
is the college physician. But, then,
Pernette Adams asked today why
Cora Morton is still taking Physics I!
Very discouraging.

But some of us do not even grow
wiser as we grow older. Cephise
Cartwright heard Blanche Berry
groaning over having to memorize a
sonnet, and advise her to learn one
with only a few lines; and Eleanor
Gresham was heard to remark that
the only Welshman she knew was the
Prince of Wales!

Giddie, when I hear Nan Lingle
coming now I am afraid to look. In
physics yesterday she advanced the
theory that we would be warmer if
we wore no clothes. In her zeal for
science, and her anxiety to make a
valuable contribution to its advance-
ment—we are afraid that she will try
to prove her theory!

Do you think Olivia Swann’s name
very suggestive? Well, neither did I
until I heard about her experience in
the tea room. It seems she signed
her name to a check—and the maid
brought an “Olive Sandwich” ‘with
the order.

I must tell you about Louise Plumb.
She spent the week-end with Gene
Dozier and met the most exciting
bachelor — just back from Florida
where he had won his fame and for-
tune. Maybe his fame is immortal,
but judging from the costly gifts lav-
ished on Louise his fortune is only
temporary.

Giddie, I must away to the library
and do the next syllabus in order that
I may be able to satisfy Miss Cole’s
curiosity as to the “dissension that
arose among the popes,” as the story
goes,

So farewell,
AGGIE.

JUNIORS WIN CHAMPIONSHIP.

The basketball championship was
won this year by the Juniors, who
were also the lucky Hottentots of last
season. In the last game, instead of
battling with the departed marvels of
‘25, as before, the Sophomores put up
a stiff fight and led the Juniors a
neck-to-neck race for supremacy. The
playing on both sides was wonder-
fully quick and after the wild spurt in
the first quarter had somewhat
clamed down the excitement of the
players, a prettier brand of basketball
has never been seen on the gym
court. The final score was 33 to 18
in favor of the Juniors, the cham-
pions of Agnes Scott!

Seniors vs. Freshmen.

Along with this feature game, the
other half of the double-header was
played by the Seniors and Freshmen.
When the game ended, the awful truth
dawned on the Seniors that the am-
bitious little team of ’29 had two-
timed them and caged the game by
a score which was 25 to 21 in favor of
the Freshmen.

The official for the games was Miss

THE LOCARNO TREATIES
AGAIN.
London.—By the overwhelming vote

of 375 to 13 the House of Commons

ratified the Locarno Treaties, which
establish a neutral zone along the
Rhine, and will lay the foundation for

lasting peace between France and
Germany, it is hoped. The Treaties
were opposed by former Prime Min-
isters J. Ramsay MacDonald and Da-
vid Lloyd George, but although the
debate was eloquent it apparently had
no effect on the final vote.

Berlin.—The German Reichstag will
take up this week the question of the
ratification of the Locarno Treaties.
They were presented by Chancellor
Luther, who in his speech announced
that the Cabinet would resign as soon
as they had been passed, and its work
finished. The Luther cabinet is strong-
ly advocating Germany’s entrance into
the League of Nations. It is proba-
ble that despite opposition the treaties
will be ratified.

WORLD COURT.

President Coolidge has announced
that when the issue of our entrance
into the World Court comes up before
the Senate next month he will do
everything in his power to force a fa-
vorable decision on the matter, “A
favorable decision” will be entrance
by the Harding-Hughes-Coolidge
amendments, which avoid any possi-
ble connection or cooperation with the
League of Nations. Senator Borah,
the chairman of the Senate Commit-
tee of Foreign Relations, is opposed
to entrance in any way, and the con-
test between the President and him
will be a test of Coolidge’s power in
his own party, as well as an important
decision in our foreign policy.

ANOTHER ONE.

Paris —The Cabinet of Premier
Painleve was forced to resign in
France because of its failure to deal
successfully with that Waterloo of all
French statesmen, the financial ques-
tion. President Doumergue has asked
Briand, who has, been premier eight
times, to form a new cabinet. M.
Briand has not yet given his answer.
He has never been forced out of office
in all his long career, and possibly he
is shying away from that danger now.
The disorder in France is a cause for
grave consideration in Europe today.

THE QUEEN IS DEAD.

London.—A great and romantic
figure passed from English life in
the death of Dowager Queen Alexan-
dra of England. Since the time sixty
years ago when she came to England,
a beautiful young Danish princess,
she has held a large place in English
hearts. Her charitable work made her
beloved as a woman, and her fine
character and great beauty proclaimed
her a queen of queens. As the consort
of Edward VII she was Princess of
Wales for forty years and Queen of
England for ten. She was the mother
of the present King George V, of
Queen Maud of Norway. Her only
surviving sister is the Dowager Czar-
ina of Russia, mother of the ill-
fated Czar Nicholas.

J. P. ALLEN & CO.

An Objection of Senator Borah’s Answered

(Courtesy of the Yale Daily News.)

On November 19 the House of Com-
mons, by an overwhelming majority,
approved the Rhineland Pact—treaty
of mutual guarantees. This was the
most important of all the Locarno
Treaties. This action is in marked
contrast with the rejection of the Ge-
neva Protocol a year ago. This in-
dicates conclusively that Great Britain
is not yet ready for the outlawry of
war by statute, but for the outlawry
of war by evolutionary processes.

The most urgent question before the
nations of the world to-day is the es-
tablishment of universal peace. This
is certainly the paramount issue in
America. For the first time in the
world’s history it seems possible that
Victor Hugo’s saying: “There is one
-hing stronger than armies, and that
is an idea whose time has come,” may
become a reality.
hastened to a victorious end because
of our participation, so I believe that
America can do more than any other
nation at the present hour to estab-
lish world peace.

The most ardent opponent of Amer-
ica’s entrance into the World Court is
Senator William E. Borah, Chairman
of the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations. His place as Chairman at-
tracts attention to his opinions and
requires that his arguments should be
fairly met.

Senator Borah declared that the
Permanent Court of International Jus-
tice is not a World Court, but is a
League of Nations Court. I agree
with the Senator that it is a League
of Nations Court. It is a department
of the League and an instrument cre-
ated by it. However, the members of
the League declare that they are will-
ing to have us join this Court with res-
ervations of our own making and
without our becoming a member of
the League, thus indicating that to
be a member of the World Court is
not synonymous with League member-
ship.

Senator Borah would have us be-
lieve that the people have already
passed upon the question of our en-
trance into the World Court. This is
not the case, however, because the
World Court reservations were sug-
gested after the Senate had refused
to ratify the Versailles Treaty and
President Harding had been elected
on a platform which promised to keep
us out of the League. It is certainly
not correct in any sense, to say that
the people have ever voted on the
World Court issue,

A brief history of the World Court
will show the weakness of Senator
Borah’s objection that the World
Court is a League Court. In 1907
Elihu Root, who had long advocated
a World Court, drafted a plan for
such a Court and it was presented for
adoption by The Hague Court of Ar-
bitration. This failed because there
was no satisfactory way provided for

Committe of Jurists, to which the
League of Nations had committed the
work of drafting a plan for a World
Court, again brought forward his plan
and it was adopted with slight amend-
ments. The seat of the World Court
is The Hague. The Court consists of
eleven judges and four deputies. The
judges are nominated by the national
groups composing the old Hague Per-
manent Court of Arbitration. Each
national group may name four per-
sons, only two of whom may be of
their own nationality. Since 43 na-
tions are members of the Permanent
Court of Arbitration and each nation
may make four nominations, it is pos-
sible for the list of nominations for
judges of the World Court to consist
of 172 names. The statute of the
Court provides that the Court must
consist of men possessing certain out-

whole body shall represent “the main
forms of civilization” and “the prin-
cipal legal systems of the world.” I
call particular attention to the fact
that The Hague Court of Arbitration
makes these nominations and _ this
court is wholly independent of the
League of Nations. The Assembly and
the Council of the League vote separ-
ately, but an absolute majority in
each is necessary for election. Not
more than one judge may come from
any one nation.
been taken to secure competent judges
and to safeguard the interests of all
the members of the Court. As an ad-

ditional safeguard, reservation num-)|

ber two, as proposed by Presidents
Harding and Coolidge and Secretary
Hughes, reads as follows:

“The United States shall be per-
mitted to participate through repre-
sentatives designated for the purpose
and upon an equality with other states,
members, respectively, of the Council
and Assembly of the League of Na-
tions, in any and all proceedings of
either the Council or the Assembly
for the election of judges or deputy

judges of the Permanent Court of In-|

ternational Justice or for the filling of
vacancies.”

As a further safeguard, reservation
number four, reads as follows:

“That the statute for the Perma-
nent Court of International Justice
adjoined to the Protocol shall not be
amended without the consent of the
United States.”

I submit that in view of the meth-
od of electing judges to the World
Court and in the light of the reserva-

From Slave Cabin

to Hall of Fame

Not to one man in a million is it
given to step over night from utter
obscurity to international fame—from
grinding poverty to opulence—from a
cabin to the courts of royalty. Yet
that has been the astounding experi-
ence of Roland Hayes, Georgia Negro
tenor who is to appear in concert at
the Atlanta Auditorium on the eve-
ning of December 18. Hayes’ fame
rests upon a wonderful natural gift
trained by years of untiring effort.
The surest test of his character,
however, is found in the fact that he
has remained utterly unspoiled by
his success. His talent he considers
a trust and his career an opportunity
not for personal gain, but for inter-
preting the soul of his race to the
world,

Born in a cabin at Curryville,

_Narth. Gaoonpiay the son of a pospowid-
ow who made her living in the field
and at the tub, Hayes’ phenomenal
success seems unbelievable. He feels
indeed that it would have been im-
possible except for a special provi-
dence which has followed him and
from time to time opened to him the
doors of opportunity. Having gone to
Chattanooga, where he worked by day
and studied at night, he met a colored
teacher of music who recognized that
he had an unusual voice. This friend
took him to the home of a white man,
where for the first time, by means
of the victrola, he was introduced to
the world’s great singers and to its
wealth of classical music. In that
moment, says Hayes, he was born
again. A new world of beauty was
opened to him and a great ambition
awoke in his soul. From that time
forth the cultivation of his voice be-
eame the prime purpose of his life.

A course in Fisk University fol-
lowed, where he had four years of
excellent training. Going then to
Louisville, he went to work as waiter
in a fashionable club, where he oc-
casionally sang for the pleasure of
the guests. There he was heard by
a man from Boston, through whom
he later had the opportunity for the
best training that could be had in
that city, working all the while for
the maintenance of himself and his
aged mother. Finally he determined
to take the great plunge. He engaged
Symphony Hall and obligated himself
for an initial expense of a thousand
dollars, on the forlorn hope that he
could sell enough tickets in advance
to meet the obligation. Single-hand-
ed he did it and scored a great tri-
umph.

Two years later he went to Lon-
don and struggled for months for
recognition. At last it came in over-
whelming measure. Following a pop-
ular ovation, he was commanded to
sing before the King and Queen. On
successive tours he has sung with
great success in all the musical capi-
tals of Europe, as well as in the prin-
cipal cities of America, and has ev-
erywhere been acclaimed an artist of
rare natural gifts and exceptional
training. Nashville, Richmond, and
Louisville, no less than Boston and
New York, London, Paris, Berlin,
and Vienna, have paid willing trib-

Mrs. Reinhardt
To Lecture

The Leeture Association has an-
nounced that Mrs. Aurelia Reinhardt
will lecture at Agnes Scott on Jan-
uary 28th, Mrs. Reinhardt is presi-
dent of the American Association of
University Women, having held that
office since 1923. She is coming east
in January to attend a directors’ meet-

ing, and has planned to extend her
trip so that she may visit branches

|of the association in the South At-

lantie section.

Mrs. Reinhardt has had a distin-
guished career. She received her Ph.D.
at Yale in 1905, and later in 1919
the degree of LL.D. at the Univer-
sity of California. She has been an
instructor of English at the Univer-
sity of Idaho, a leeturer in English
at the University of California, and,
at present, is president of Mills’ Col-
lege at Oakland, California. She has
been editor with translation and notes
of several early English works, in-
cluding Epicoene or The Silent Wom-
an by Ben Jonson; and, in addition,
has contributed many translations to
the collection of Anglo-Saxon poetry,
edited by Cook and Tinker. She is a
member of Phi Beta Kappa.

This is the second president | of
American Association of University
Women to visit Agnus Scott. Mrs.
Ada Comstock, president of Radcliffe,
was here about five years ago. The
association has had only the two pres-
idents and Agnes Scott feels that she
is very fortunate in having the op-
portunity of entertaining both of
them.

CHRISTMAS CAROLS AT
NORTH AVE. CHURCH

Last Sunday afternoon at North
Avenue Presbyterian Church, the
spirit of Christmas was beautifully
celebrated by the singing of both old
and new Christmas carols under the
auspices of the Atlanta Guild of Or-
ganists. A new arrangement of the
carols, made by Clarence Dickinson,
Was used, This arrangement is for
violin, cello, harp, organ and voices.
It was sung by the choir of the
church, assisted by a chorus. The
service Was very impressive and em:
phasized the religious meaning of
Christmas.

ute to his art. He sings with equal
facility in English, French, Italian,
and German and interprets with rare
understanding, the classics of the
great composers,

One is not surprised to learn, how-
ever, that it is his rendering of the
distinctive Negro spirituals that most
completely wins the hearts of his au:
ditors. Hayes is proud of the spirit-
uals. To him they represent the very
soul of his race—its patience, its
faith, its hopefulness, it freedom from
bitterness and hate. He counts it a
mission worthy of his life to faith-
fully interpret the spirit of those
wonderful melodies, the unique con
tribution of his people to the musical
art of the world.

It is this sense of mission which
has made Hayes superior to his suc-
cess. With a career that would have
completely turned the head of any
man possessed of selfish ambition, he
has remained simple, unspoiled, mod-
est, and unassuming. This fact in
turn, no doubt, has been a large ele-
ment in his success and in the high
praise which has been everywhere ac-
corded him.

Atlanta music lovers are looking
forward with great interest to his
appearance, here and many of the
most prominent people are sponsor-
ing the concert. The management is
making a special rate of one-half the
regular price in case of students tak-
ing blocks of a hundred seats or
more.

“Twas the Night Before Christuas”

“White Christmas”
Observed by Y.W.C.A.

Perhaps the most inspiring and im-
pressive of the Y. W. C. A. services
is the “White Christmas” held the
last Sunday evening before Christmas
holidays. This has become an annual
custom which Y. W. has made tradi-
tional, and this year the service was
more beautiful than ever. The stage
was draped in white, and in the cen-

ter of it Was a Christmas tree, wiiite
and sparkling. In the windows sat

white candles that shed a glowing
radiance over all.

Many carols were sung, and spe:
cial Christmas music was given by
the choir which was dressed in white,
to further carry out the motif. The
President of Student Government,
Virginia Browning, read a very beau-
tiful Christmas story, “While the
Chimes Ring Out.” A sense of the
true Christmas spirit prevailed even
after the Y. W. benediction.

French Club Formed

Agnes Scott now has a French
Club. Susan Clayton, Martha Crowe
and Louise Bausley suggested its or-
ganization, and they were made char-
ter members. Tryouts were held and
the following people were chosen
members:

Elizabeth Cole, Elizabeth Hender-
son, Kenneth Maner, Miriam Preston,
Frances Rainey, Blanche Haslan, An-
na Mae McCollum, Eloise Gaines,
Louise Thomas, Emily Cope, Rosal-
thea Sanders, Evelyn Powell, Louise
Girardeau, Evelyn Allbright, Sarah
White, Anna Knight, Elsie Davis,
Mary Reviere, Lillian Leconte, Gene
Dozier, Louise Davis, Louise Lovejoy,
Lucy Mae Cook, Nellie Richardson.
Evangeline Papageorge, Floyd School-
field, Elizabeth Berry, Rowena, Ru-
nette, Eloise Harris, Mary Davis.

Mary Davis was elected president
and Eloise Harris secretary. The
club as one of its first activities is
going to sing French Christmas Car-
ols next Thursday night.

FOLIO MEETS

A most delightful meeting of Folio
Club was held at the home of Mrs.
Dieckmann on December 8. At that
time Polly Stone, elected faculty mem-
ber in place of Mrs. Dieckmann, who
had resigned, made her initial ap-
pearance before the club and was
very warmly greeted.

A story, “Embers,” by L. M. Hus-
sey, was read by Emily Kingsbery,
after which certain matters of finan-
cial import were discussed and a very
pleasant social hour enjoyed.

Christmas Holidays
Coming Soon

“You ask us why we are so jolly—

We're all going home to a house full
0’ holly,

And it won’t be long ’till we see our
beau—

And we'll stand beneath the mistle-
toe.”

That’s what we hear now on every
hand; and inde, it won't be long—
just one more day! How, oh, how
are we to live through classes until
noon Friday? Even the most dig-
nified Seniors, who have been through
this excitement three times before,
can hardly wait; and as for the Fresh.
men—!!

We all feel that it is well worth
staying over this extra day just to
have the realization that we can be at
home until January5—three week-

ends! The faculty’s granting of Stu-
dent Government’s request on this
point was a _ never-to-be-forgotten
boon. We hope that they enjoy the

extra time as much as we shall.
So—a very, very merry Christmas

to one and all! May Santa Claus

treat us each most bountifully!

Budget
Reapportioned

At Chapel, Olivia Schwann, Student
Treasurer, announced that the budget
had been reapportioned Tuesday
morning. The plan of the past years
for the financing of the various col-
lege organizations has become inade-
quate. It was found that many or-
ganizations are running into debt,
and still others are having a sur-
plus, due to the present apportion-
ment.

A meeting of all the business man-
agers on the campus was held, and
new plans discussed. The plan de-
cided upon was then submitted to Dr.
McCain for approval. It did not be-
come known to the college in general
until Tuesday morning,

The amount of money apportioned
to Student Government, the Aurora,
the Agonistic, and to the Y. W. C. A.
has been changed to an allowance of
fifteen per cent each. In addition,
there is to be a reserve fund of five
per cent. This last will be used by
any organization which will find that
additional funds are necessary. Each
year, hereafter, a committee of all
the business managers will meet, and
plans for necessary reapportionment
be discussed. It is hoped that this
plan will prove satisfactory to the
entire college.

Students Give
Christmas Tree

Those who were at the Christmas
party Saturday afternoon and saw
the expressions of joy manifested by
the children, both in their faces and
in their actions, certainly felt repaid
for what effort they had expended in
giving this pleasure. Some of the
mischievous little boys demonstrated
their delight quite hilariously, while
many of the demure girls showed
their happiness only in their shining
eyes, Even the most energetic boy,
vigorously exercising a basket-ball,
subsided into an awed quietness when
the curtains were dawn back reveal-
ing the Christmas tree, twinkling with
gay electric lights and gleaming with
sundry parcels of curious shapes.
Florence Perkins made such a real
Santa Claus that the most skeptic of
the more sophisticated children was
overcome with wonder and _ thrilling
expectation,

Even the most trifling little gift
was received with joyful gratitude,
and the girl with a queer little “pic-
aninny” doll was as devoted to her
new possession as the proud owner of
a curly-haired baby that would really
“go to sleep.” The ice cream, cake,
and candy -were also no small part of
the merry-making, for the children
had arrived at two o'clock and played
hard for about two hours. All the
hundred and eighty-five children
moreover, seemed to have thoroughly
enjoyed the party and have experi-
enced something of Christmas happi-
ness.

Christmas

“Q rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing.”

It begins soon after Thanksgiving Day. Sophomores, grin-
ning, accuse the Freshmen of having it. It is pervasive, irresisti-
ble, delightful. It lurks behind the darkest frown; it fills the
dining room with rowdy songs in the evening; it causes smiles
when hymns are announced at evening prayers; it manifests itself
in white tissue paper bundles tied with green and red ribbons.
Yes, it is that blessed old. epidemic which sweeps our college cam-
pus every December—the CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

Strange, isn’t it, that all this, and much more, should happen
on our campus, on myriad other campuses, and throughout the
civilized world, just because, nearly two thousand years ago, a
babe was born, one of thousands, in a little hilly town of Pales-
tine? But no, it is not so strange; for that babe became the Sav-
ior of Mankind, a martyr to the cause of everlasting life (alas!
the story hardly seems wonderful; we have heard it so often).
It is indeed, then, most fitting that the Christmas season should
be one of unbounded joy, of music and dancing and bells, of cheer-
ful red decorations, Christmas trees, and Santa Claus; of laughter,

and presents, and love; only, in the midst of Yuletide joys, may
your hearts be not like the inn at Bethlehem, too full to give

place for the Christ-child.

“Oh, Star of Wonder, Star of Night,
Star with royal beauty bright;
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light!”

National Collegiate World Court

Conference to Be Held at Princeton

Princeton, N. J., Nov. 21st.—John
W. Davis, Dr. George E. Vincent,
President of the Rockefeller Founda-
tion, and Raymond B. Fosdick, former
under-Secretary General of the
League of Nations will be the prin-
cipal speakers at the National Col-

legiate World Court Conference
to be held in Princeton Friday
and Saturday, December 11th and

12th. Mr. Davis will address the open-
ing meeting of the Conference, while
Dr. Vincent and Mr. Fosdick will
speak at the second general gathering
the following evening.

Among the prominent men who will
lead the discussion groups Saturday
morning who have already accepted
the invitation of the National Execu-
tive Committee are Dr. Henry van
Dyke, Former Ambassador to the Ne-
therlands; Roland S. Morris, former
Ambassador to Japan; Norman
Thomas, Director of the League of
Industrial Democracy; Herbert Hous-
ton, Member of the American Com-
mittee of the International Chamber
of Commerce; Mary Wooley, President
of Mt, Holyoke College; John P.
Dulles, New York barrister; Herbert

Adams Gibbons, noted war correspon-
dent and author, and Ivy L. Lee, New
York Publicity expert.

Among the topics to be discussed
by these leaders are “The Press and
War”, “The Relation of the World
Court to Economic Prosperity”, “Im-
perialism and World Peace”, “The
World Court and the League of Na-
tions.”

To date, more than sixty-five col-
leges from all parts of the country
have accepted the invitation to send
a delegate to Princeton for the Con-
ference. The National character of
the Conference is evidenced by the ac-
ceptances of such universities as Mills
College, California, University of
Michigan, Bates College, Maine, and
the University of Texas.

It is to be one of the purposes of
the Conference to form a permanent
organization of American students for
the purpose of discussing topics of
current national import. The dele-
gates will convene annually at insti-
tutions in various parts of the country
for this purpose. Senator William
Borah, Vice-President Dawes and
Chief-Justice William Howard Taft

have heartily endorsed the Confer-
ence.

It is very interesting to look over

: Intercollegiate News | Weekly News Release from the World Court
Committee of Council of Christian Ass'n

publications from thirty-odd colleges,
and see the number of events that
are common to all. These days the
World Court stares us in the face.
Every large college either has voted
on entrance to the court, or will do
so within the next week. Every ballot
that has been taken proves that stu-
dents are zealously backing this proj-
ect. It passed at Guilford by a vote
of 227-30. Greenville Woman’s Col-

lege voted 264 in favor of the Hard-
ing-Hughes-Cooledge plan, 104 for the
Harmony plan, and 5 against en-
trance.

The past week has seen World
Court Conferences all over the coun-
try going forward at a tremendous
rate, with many conferences actually
held, and preparations for the few
remaining ones about completed.

The week-end of November 8th the
Southern World Court Conference at
Atlanta, which was the first in this
section of the country to be held with
eolored and white students meeting
together, was a notable achievement.
There were three hundred delegates,
of whom a little more than a hundred
were colored, and practically all of
the colleges in South Carolina, Geor-
gia, Alabama and Florida were rep-
resented.

Last week-end (November 13 to 15)
there were conferences held in New
York City; Oberlin, Ohio; Rochester,
N. Y.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; Baltimore,
Md.; Houston, Texas; Tacoma, Wash.;
Nashville, Tenn., and Winter Park,
Fla. The Conference at Nashville was
a one-day meeting for both colored
and white students, and was held in
a colored settlement under the lead-
ership of Nevin Sayre.

The series of nation-wide confer-
ences will be finished up during the
next two weeks with meetings plan-
ned in Michigan, Louisiana, in North-
ern California, two in Southern Cali-
fornia, a Greater Boston World Court
Conference in Massachusetts, and a
Connecticut Valley Student Confer-
ence on World Relations to be held
at Amherst. The final important Na-
tional Collegiate Conference at Prince-
ton the week-end of December 12th,
an entirely unplanned development
coming from the students themselves,
will be the climax of the special in-
terest in the World Court on the part
of students.

Of the local developments, perhaps
the most interesting one is the report
that has just come from the New En-
gland region. .In preparation for the
two New England conferences, De-
cember 4-6, in Boston and Amherst,
the New England World Court Com-
mittee is sending out special letters
requesting each campus to make a
full study of the reasons the vote on
the national student poll turned out
the way it did on that campus. A list
of likely influences on the vote will be
enclosed and each committee will be
expected to canvass as many students
as possible to find out which influ-
ences were the strongest in determin-
ing the vote.

One of the major reactions of stu-
dents to this whole program is the
fact that they refuse to agree lightly
to America’s entrance into the World
Court, but are demanding a full state-
ment on both sides of the question,
which proves they are really thinking
the matter through to intelligent con-
clusions. This is shown in a letter
that has reached Headquarters from
the Southern World Court Committee
reporting that “students all over the
South are asking for arguments
against the World Court—or, I might
say, both for and against—” and re-
questing to be supplied with questions
on the World Court for Debates that
would bring out the arguments pro
honest, keep opposition to cope with
and con. “They simply want some
in order to come to real convictions.”

The action of Bryn Mawr in legal-
izing smoking among women students

by removing rules against it and es-
tablishing smoking rooms in the dormi-
tories, has led to much discussion in

college newspapers. It is rather hard
to get accurate statisties because the
majority of Southern Colleges con-
sider smoking an offense, punished
by expulsion. This is the view held
by authorities at Chapel Hill, but ac-
cording to what is termed “back door
information,” smoking is done in these
institutions. Such “back door infor-
mation” is furnished by clerks of drug
stores. They stated that “if the girls
don’t smoke cigarettes, they certainly
buy them—and in quantities.”

At a recent social meeting of the
Woman’s Association of the Univer-
sity of North Carolina, smoking came
up as a topic of conversation. Twenty-
two acknowledged that they approved
of smoking, but when asked if they
would willingly recommend the habit,
only three returned a negative an-
swer. A census of fifty women who
live in the dormitory shows that 10
per cent of the co-eds can be classed

as smokers. If that classification
should include those women who
smoke occasionally, then the per cent
would be much larger.

The question of smoking by girls
is moving southward. May the pub-
lications of southern colleges, backed
by the students, keep smoking from
entering our colleges! The question is
not a moral one. It revolves on the
axis of health and traditions. Let us
uphold them.

The Carolina Playmakers will fill
a two weeks engagement in New
York, in January or February. The
uncertainty of the date is due to the
fact that the theatre to be used is
construction, and exact
time of completion unknown. This is
to be the 66 Fifth Avenue Theatre,
on lower Fifth Avenue, in Greenwich
Village. Here’s to the Playmakers!

We note with hearts palpitating
with pleasure that certain papers like
our news and phraseology so well
that reels cf it they print, not even
changing a word—or, what is more to
a point, comma or exclamation point.
As I say, with pleasure are we filled.
But—yes, here comes the inevitable.
But to something nice—we would that
the papers would give us the credit
for the germ of idea and phrase.

CONSTRUCTIVE SUGGESTION

School children of England, press
reports inform us, have found a way
to keep from growing restless and
sleepy during the chapel service. They
operate a sweepstakes, by betting on
what the speaker will say. Phrases
which the speaker is likely to use are
written on slips of paper. These are
sold to the audience. The holder of
the first phrase to be used gets the
prize.—Ward Belmont Hyphen.

Comment on all this World Court
activity among students comes from
all corners of every state. One of the
last to be received was this wholly
unsolicited estimate of the student
conferences from Newton D. Baker,
our former Secretary of War:

“T hope you will permit me to ex-
press my enthusiastic approval of the
plan to have this series of student
conferences on the World Court. The
President is doing his full share and
the pressure of public opinion alone
ean prevent the destruction of his
generous policy by a group of irre-
concilable senators. Public opinion
is powerful when coordinated and led.
The duty of leadership, it seems to
me, belongs to the academic and re-
ligious groups of the country. We
now have a chance to demonstrate a
great and wholesome truth, viz., that
the colleges of the country do count
for wise and rational things and I
hope the demonstration will be com-
plete. These conferences will help to
make it so.”

“To erystallize the student opinion
of the country on the subject of the
World Court, and to provide for a
permanent organization to consider
such questions arising in the future”
is the purpose of the National Col-
legiate World Court Conference, to
be held in Princeton on Friday and
Saturday, December 1lith and 12th,
under the auspices of an Intercollegi-
ate Executive Committee.

Fifty acceptances have been re-
ceived to the invitations sent out to
every college and university in the
country, as the first of the replies ap-
pear. A definite program for the two
days has been announced by the Ex-
ecutive Committee, including speeches
by John W. Davis, George R. Vincent,
and Raymond Fosdick, with others
still to come. A second group, prom-
inent among whom are Ivy L. Lee and
Vernon Kellogg, will lead round-table
discussions of 15 or 20 delegates on
Saturday morning. A number of
hearty indorsements have been re-
ceived from men unable to be present,
such as Vice-President Charles G.
Dawes, Charles Evans Hughes, Chief
Justice William Howard Taft, and
Senator Borah.

The delegates, whose entertainment
is being arranged for by the Princeton
sub-committee, will arrive in time for
the opening assembly Friday night, at
which John W. Davis and one or two
others will present the various aspects
of the question of the World Court.

Saturday morning will be spent in
discussion groups on various related
subjects, to which delegates will have
been admitted before they arrive.
Previous study on this particular
phase of problem of the World Court
is expected from each delegate, so
that everyone may derive appreciable
benefit from conversation with leaders
of international relationships.

Saturday afternoon will be devoted
to developing resolutions in open
forum which may appear advisable
from the morning discussions, In the
evening at the final meeting, after
speeches by Dr. Vincent and Mr. Fos-
dick, these resolutions embodying not
only a decision on the subject of the
United States’ entrance into the
Court, but the sentiment of the Con-
ference on all related questions, will
be formally passed and sent to Wash-
ington in care of a delegation.

China's Pockets Begin to Fill Up.

Peking.—The powers and China
have signed a Customs Treaty by
which China will be given complete
control of her customs by January 1,
1929. This comes as a welcome relief
to the Chinese, who have been trying
for years to meet demands that they
pay their foreign debt, while they
were deprived by treaty of the right
to collect their own customs. The
friends of China trust that with this
new source of revenue she will be
able to strengthen her government,
and increase her badly depleted for-
eign prestige. In return for this con-
cession, China promises to abolish the
likin, the international transit tax.
which has been collected by her cor-
rupt military governors, the tuchuns
If the central government can force
the tuchuns to abolish the likin, China
will have given a conclusive reply to
the question “Can China maintain a
stable government?”

From “The Great Open Spaces.”

Austin, Texas.—The fight between
Governor Miriam Ferguson and het
husband “Governor Extraordinary”
Jim, and the hostile State Legislature
is proceeding apace. The Governor
has refused to call a special session of
the legislature whose only purpose,
she says, is to impeach her on tke
same charge on which they impeached
her husband several years ago. The
Speaker of the House threatens to eall
the session on January 9 and investi-
gate the alleged illegal disbursements
of the State Highway Commission
The opposition is led by Attorney
General Dan Moody, an anti-Klan
Democrat, but in all other respects
very unlike the two Fergusons. Moody
is trying the Hoffman Construction
company, who hold contracts for state
roads. He wants them to return $451,-
000. Already he has forced the
American Road Company to return
$600,000 on the same charge.

The root of the matter seems to be
that the Texans feel the real gover-
nor of their state is “Jim,” of rather
unsavory reputation, and not Miriam,
whom they elected last year.
do not want to impeach a woman
but they want no more of Jim in their
state politics, and if necessary they
will lose the Governor rather than
keep Jim.

SOPHOMORE PARTY

The Sophomores from Main and
Rebekah entertained their class-mates
from Inman and the cottages in the
new gym Wednesday night, Decem-
ber 10. The gym was most attractive-
ly decorated in red and green, with
huge red bells hung under the bas-
ket-ball goals. A very ingenious
stunt, an interpretation of “The
Night Before Christmas,” was the
chief feature of the evening. Char-
acters as follows:

Reader, Sarah White.

Children, Mary Mackey Hough and
Georgia Watson.

Sugar Plum, Christine Wolf.

Mother, Virginia Norris.

Father, Della Stone.

Santa Claus, Margaret Rice.

At the close of the stunt, Santa
opened his magic bag and presented
each guest with a Christmas box fill-
ed with candy, and tied up in white
tissue with a bright red ribbon.

Punch and dancing were enjoyed
during the hour, Musie was furnish-
ed by Polly McCloud and Eleanor
Bennett at the piano.

FINAL GAME SOPHO-

Our very successful season of bas-

final return game between the Sopho-
mores and Freshmen. Both teams
were out with every player, and every
player was out to accomplish just as
much as was humanly possible for
the honor of the class which was so
loyally—well, a few of ’em were out—
supporting them. The superior team-
work and the skill at caging the ball
of the Sophomores brought defeat for
the Freshmen though, and the score

was 35 to 18. Miss Bringhurst offi-
ciated.

Trustees Meet

The Board of Trustees of Agnes
Scott held its regular meeting Tues-
day, December 8. They considered the
plans for the future development of
the college and heartily approved of
the bulletin containing the outline of
our needs for the next ten years, that
was published in The Agonistic, De-
cember 3. They urged immediate col-
lection of the campaign funds for the
gymnasium and swimming pool, which
Black friars is working on now. Also
the Trustees extended the privilege
of membership on the Board to three
men from the Synod of Florida, whose
names will be passed on by the Synod
at an early date.

At the beginning of her career, Ag-
nes Scott was a stock company; and
whatever profit could be made by the
institution went directly to the stock-
holders who stood in the place of our
present Trustees. Our Board of
Trustees, as Dr, McCain explained in
chapel Thursday morning, are, of
course, legally and officially recognized
as the college, and are in control of
whatever goes on within the college.
Governing a college by a Board such
as ours is accepted as the most stable
and effective method. There are twen-
ty-seven numbers, fourteen of whom
are elected by the Trustees with no
limitations whatse----~. "he President

of the college is elected from among
these fourteen members; and the re-

DR. WRIGHT TALKS

IN CHAPEL

Dr. J. T. Wright, of Mobile, Ala.,
stopped by Agnes Scott on his return
from the annual meeting of the As-
sociation of Colleges and Secondary
Schools of the Southern States held
at Charleston recently. He spoke to
the Agnes Scott students at chapel
Saturday, December 5. Dr. Wright
was very enthusiastic in his praise
of our college—its equipment, its fac-
ulty and students, its high standard,
and most of all that indefinable thing
known as Agnes Scott spirit. Dr.
Wright has a daughter who will be-
come a Hottentot in two more years.
Agnes Scott will indeed be glad to

welcome her into her ranks, and hopes
she will be as pleased with all she
finds here as was Dr. Wright.

The Mobile girls, Clara Stone and
Grace Augusta Ogden, were substan-
tially remembered by Dr. Wright.

maining thirteen are elected by the
Trustees from four definite sources:
two are \chosen from among the
Alumnae for a term of two years;
four are chosen from the Synod of
Georgia, four from the Synod of Al-
abama, and now, three from the Sy-
nod of Florida, each for a term of
four years. Thus the Trustees are a
self-perpetuating Board; and, with-
out doubt, the high standing of Ag-
nes Scott is due to a great extent to
the personnel of the Board of Trus-
tees.

Giddie Darling:
You asked me to snoop around and

find out what people want for Christ-
mas presents, so I have gotten all the
hints I could for you. Louise Girar-
deau and Lillian White really need
a new chair. You see Lillian Leconte
sat down in one of theirs the other
day and when she got up—from the
floor—the chair was in splinters!

For Mr. Tart you might get a year’s
subseription to the Constitution. When
he has one of his own, he won't have
to spend all his spare mornings read-
ing Dy. Hewey’s.

With Mr. Stukes of course you have
a choice of hair tonic or blush cream.
And I think it would be nice to send

Miss MacDougall a book of new jokes,
as eyen the freshmen have learned
the old ones by heart. Oh, yes, Miss
Lewis simply longs for a pair of ear
muffs to wear when the Rebekah tube
begins to ring.

Now you might send Miss Smith a
string of beads, and don’t you think
some long jade or jet earrings or
some slave bracelets to match would
be nice? Of course you can always
give Miss Campbell a hand-bag or a
cat.

Rosalie Wooten wants seventy-six
excuses for seventy-six lates to phy-
sics class. Emily Nelson wants an
automatic control for her bubbling
laughter. She agrees with the rest of
us that it is fine to have a good dis-
position, but most inconvenient not to
be capable of even lowering the tone
in classes or in the library.

An appropriate gift for Holly Smith
would be a dozen cakes of soap, then
she would be saved the trouble of
borrowing it from Miss Hearon every
time she wants to take a bath. About
the only thing to make Helen Bates
happy would be plenty of time to talk
over the 'phone—you could never give
her enough; so you better just send
her a pretty card.

Do you think you could send Mary
Riviere a sympathetic listener for
her glowing description of the con-
versations and activities of her vari-
ous crushes—or would this be impos-
sible?

If you wish to remember some of
the rest of us, any one of the follow-
ing articles will make any one of us
happy—an immediate and _ satisfac-
tory way to reduce, instructions in
the Charleston, instructions in the
Merry Widow Waltz, or an eye shade
to use when we meet Gene Dozier—as
she is wearing something over her
heart that dazzles us all.

With the suggestions I hope you
will be able to spread much Christ-
mas joy!

Love from,
AGGIB.

THE HIKE

“The road was a ribbon of moon-
light—”

Yes, it was and the stars were
shining too when we hikers started
out, last Wednesday morning. But,
girls, don’t laugh even though it was
so early we saw the most beautiful
sunrise. The whole eastern horizon
was golden and rose till the sun came
out and chased all Apollo’s cows
away. And if you do not care for
sun rises and have a defective com-
plex, you would have been excited by
the evidences of a sweet, mysterious
past—on the road was a lovely scarf
and a dainty scented handkerchief.

IS THE WORLD COURT IMPORTANT?

(Courtesy of The

I am led to address myself to this
question by an article which has re-
cently appeared by my learned friend
and colleague, Professor Edwin M.
Borchard of the Yale Law School.
In the Harvard Crimson, his article
was given the caption “Question of
Joining World Court is of Trivia] Im-
portance”; and, while he might disa-
vow, such a conclusion the general
emphasis of what he wrote was cer-
tainly in that direction.

I think we would do well to go over
the situation to see just how impor-
tant the World Court is in the inter-
national life of our time. A second
inquiry may be, how important is it
that the United States should give
the Court its support? Now I think
we need not exaggerate in answering
either question. It can only be unfor-
tunate that some people, notably
President Harding, have greatly over-
stated the significance of the Court.
That has been true also of the League
of Nations, and I find myself fre-
quently trying to overcome the dis-
ecouragingment of people to whom the
League was wildly oversold in the
heydays of the War.

THE COURT AND THE
PROBLEM OF PEACE,

The World Court has a distinct re-
lation to the problem of peace, as I
view it. Do not understand me to say
that it has ever prevented a war, or
that it ever will. That I do not know.
I do not see how anyone can say, one
way or another. It is perfectly true,
as Mr. Borchard suggested, that the
usual questions which the World
Court may handle are not likely to
be those which may lead to war. In
the main, they will be legal questions
about» which nations will disagree,
which may even contribute to friction,
but which would seldom be inclined
to lead to war. The larger political
differences which occupy headlines,
which give us the scares, which feed
the fire-eaters, will not often be sus-
ceptible of statements in terms of a
legal question. So let us agree at
once that the World Court is not a
certain substitute for war.

Yet our problem of peace is not a
matter of finding some cure-all for
war. We do not seek a nostrum,. We
cannot look for a panacea. But we
must develop a process of dealing
with situations as they arise by some
orderly method. We must do what
we can, albeit our powers may be
limited, to build a law and legal in-
stitutions to which nations may appeal
instead of allowing their differences

to fester, to smart and drag them |

apart. We must do this, at any rate,
if we want our international society
to be orderly and peaceful.

Now, what is the place of the World
Court in the picture? Just this—it is
a clear essential of any system of in-
ternational law and order. It is a
necessary agency for developing in-
ternational law. It is a valuable aid

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1926

Mrs. Rhinehart
Speaks in Chapel

Education and Woman Her
Topic

Mrs. Rhinehart spoke to the student
body during the chapel hour Thurs-
day, January 28. Mrs. Rhinehart is
the president of Mills College, the
only standard woman’s college west
of the Mississippi, and is also pres-
ident of the National Association of
University Women. She spoke, she
said, not as an official of a college,
but as a friend of college students.

In introducing her topic, Mrs.
Rhinehart discussed education as it
applies to us, “People are what their
education makes them.” ‘Tracing ed-
ucation historically, we find that edu-
cation made, limited, or defined the
usefulness of the ancient countries,
Greece and Rome. So it was through
‘all periods, and so it is today. The
civilization of a country depends on
its educational theory.

Mrs. Rhinehart’s main topic was
the outcome of the privilege of wom-
an’s education. Six Herbert Fisher,
cabinet minister of England during
the World War, said after a visit to
the U. S., “The thing that surprises
me about America is that to Ameri-
cans education is a religion.” But
the regarding of education as a re-
ligion has its diffculties as well as its
benefits. The chief of these, accord-
ing to Mrs. Rhinehart, is that people
are apt to make of education, as of
religion, only an emotional experi-
ence, She gave as an example of this,
emotionalism among college women in
obedience to fashion and enthusiasm
in athletic contests. Women are
‘prone to consider these things more
than things of the mind, and thus
they become the butt of publicity.

“Back of this emotionalism, how-
ever,” declared Mrs. Rhinehart, “is
an ideal, a conscious faith in eduea-
tion. It is up to us to prove that ideal,
Women are beginning to do this. We
are showing that we are getting more
out of life and putting more into it
than before. “The college woman has
entered the field of the novel, and is
walking through it with flying col-
ors,” according to Canby. Women
have developed great ability not only
in the field of the novel, but in that
of the essay and of poetry as well.
Women are entering the scientific
lists. Politics and diplomatic mis-
sions are being opened to women.

Education offers a challenge to the
woman of today. She should coin
this discipline of the mind into new
and creative expression for the work-
ing out of a better world. Otherwise
she does not answer her country’s
faith. Education should strengthen
rather than weaken woman’s position
in the home. Education is a light to
the feet of the women, the nation, and
the world.

Dr. Edward P. Cheyney

Lectures Here

The college community has been
enjoying many well-known and in-
spiring speakers for the last week,
and it is with the greatest pleasure
that Agnes Scott welcomes as the
chief speaker for this week, Dr. Ed-
ward P. Cheyney.

Dr. Cheyney is the professor of Eu-
ropean History at the University of
Pennsylvania, and one of the fore-
most historians of the time, being the
author of several English histories
and the greatest living authority on
the Tudor Period of English history.

Dr. Cheyney was brought to us by
the Lecture Association, and we are
very fortunate indeed to secure him,
for he seldom gives up his elasses at
the University of Pennsylvania to vis-
it other schools. He lectured Tuesday
evening on ‘ ‘Thus was England

Miss Gooch Reads
Galsworthy’s ‘Show’

On Saturday night, January thir-
tieth, Miss Gooch gave one of the
most delightful readings that has ever
been presented to the college commun-
ity.

Any one of John Galsworth’s dra-
mas would have been most accepta-
ble, but Miss Gooch selected his new-
est play, The Show. Miss Gooch, with
her unusual grace and poise, charmed
her audience with its rendition, It

will be remembered with as much
appreciation as the reading of Robert
E. Lee was last year.

The Show is a most interesting one,

clothed in a veil of mysticism, which
is not dropped until the fall of the
curtain in the last act.

We feel that we have actually seen
each character on the stage in the
proper setting. The most important
of these are:

Mrs. Marcomb, the widow of the
late Major Mareomb.

Lady ‘Roland, her mother.

Mr. Marcomb, the father of Major
Marcomb.

Mr. Jarrel, lover of Mrs. Marcomb.
The detective and policeman.

The scene is laid in London, and
the play is concerned with a detective
story. Galsworthy herein criticizes
the cruelty and abuse displayed by
the detective and police forces in Eng-
land in gaining evidence for an ac-
cused person, or crime. The execu-
tors of the law are ruthless in their
methods, have absolutely no regard
for any limits set by conventionality,
and have no consideration for a per-
son’s feelings.

The plot centers around Major
Marecomb, a former Ace in the World
War, who now is dead. He has been
accused of suicide, and the search for
the evidence. of the cause forms the
nucleus of the plot. The methods
used in this search are contemptible.
The scheme of the play is wonder-
fully well worked out, and the inter-
est of the audience lasted through-
out the performance to a very marked
degree.

Born,” and Wednesday morning spoke
to us on the subject of “Patriotism in
Time of Peace.”

Dr. Cheyney is a very charming
speaker, possessing a keen sense of
humor and having the ability to give
his talks a flavor of this wit. We
welcomed him especially for two
members of our faculty, Miss Jackson
and Miss Cole, were former students
of his; and we realized and appreciat-
ed the privilege of his visit to Agnes
Scott.

it has grown so that its membership
runs into’ the thousands of students
who intend spending their lives in

Perhaps in a passive way, unless you
know the scope of modern missions—

You are concerned in the future peace

our neighbors and ourselves; the good
will of the rising peoples of the East.
These are a vital part of missions to-

of them and of many other such is-

Student Friendship
Week

STUDENT FRIENDSHIP WEEK ....

This is Student Friendship Week on
our campus—the time when we are
given the privilege of helping our fel-
low students across the seas.

Students are being asked each year
to give considerable sums through the
Friendship Fund. They are not al-
ways able to see elearly the close re-
lationship of the educational and serv-
ice projects to which they are con-
tributing. Fundamentally the proc-
esses of education such as the World
Court, the Pan-Pacific Basin, the
study of war and race relationships,
and missions, ete., are all parts of this

world program. The service aspects
of this program are expressed through
the World’s Student Christian Fed-
eration, the Friendly Relations with
Foreign Students in America, and the
International Student Service, through
which we have recently made that
generous contribution ,to the relief of
the European students. The average
student, if he saw any of these proj-
ects of education or of service, did not
see them related to each other; to
him they were individual stunts.

This year the question of giving is
still before us, as it will always be.
The Friendship Fund is asking for
$117,500. This is to be distributed in
the following proportions: To Chris-
tian World Education $20,500, World’s
Student Christian Federation $20,000,
International Student Service $35,500,
Friendly Relations to overseas stu-
dents in the United States $30,000,
and to Production Income $11,500.

Students have been responding gra-
ciously and generously, and they will
respond with far more enthusiasm if
they can understand that the giving
is what makes possible the service
and the education, and that these
three are mutually dependent upon
each other, all being a part of the
American students’ world outreach,

addition several gifted missionaries
and nationals, who bring the best in
thought and conditions from other
countries.

Besides all these inducements, you
will be meeting with an entertaining
group of Georgia college boys and
girls in a vital three-day session, en-
tertained by the most charming of
southern hospitality.

Religious Emphasis
Week in Atlanta

Agnes Scott Hears Famous
Speakers

During Religious Emphasis Week,
January 25th-30th, Atlanta was visit-
ed by a number of nationally known
speakers, and Agnes Scott was privi-
leged to invite any of them whom she
chose to talk at her chapel services.
Invitation was accordingly extended
to Dean Thom, W. Graham, Stitt Wil-
son, Col. Raymond Robins, and Sher-
wood Eddy, all of whom gave mem-
orable addresses before large audi-
ences.

Dean Graham Speaks ‘Tuesday

It is seldom that Agnes Scott audi-
ences are privileged to hear so re-
nowned and impressive a speaker as
Dean Thomas W. Graham, of Oberlin
College. He spoke at the Agnes Scott
chapel services on Tuesday morning,
January 26th.

Dr. Graham began his address by
pointing out how closely the problems
facing the young people of today par-
allel those which Christ faced during
his young manhood, In both cases
we see a world ostensibly at peace,
but harboring within grave dangers
and corruptions. In Rome there was
a constant struggle of subject powers
trying to win release; a melee of class
insubordination and of industrial up-
heaval. The Stoics and philosophers
were saying: “Organized religion has
had its day—away with it!” In Am-
erica today the same conditions exist.
There is constant industrial and racial
disturbance—strikes, race riots, up-
heaval. Even more decidedly is there
religious disturbance, and the modern
Stoics are saying of Christianity—
“Away with it!” “The institution has
practically lost its hold in the educat-
ed class,” says Dr. Graham.

The speaker then pointed out the
likenesses and the differences between
Christ’s attitude toward that world
and toward this. Said Dr. Graham:
“Just as Christ said to his disciples—
‘Moses said unto you these things—
but I say unto you—’so he would give
another and a deeper interpretation
to his laws today in order to meet the
needs of an advancing civilization.”

He (Christ) said to the Pharisees
that “Thou shalt not steal,” means
not only “Thou shalt not take anoth-
er’s goods” but “Thou shalt not have
it in thine heart to steal.” He would
say today “Thou shalt not receive in
the pay envelope that which thou hast
not earned” and “Thou shalt not hold
back from another that which thou
hast, but which he hath a right to
have.” In this last way, Nicodemus
stole from all of us, for if he had
given up his worldly possessions and
followed Christ, another gospel proba-
bly would have been written. We are
deprived of that gospel; Nicodemus
could have written it, and he did not.
Nicodemus was a thief, Let us take
care, says Dr. Graham, that the suc-
ceeding generations shall not be able
to say of us—‘*You stole from us—
you are a thief!”

We will not commit such a sin, says
the speaker, if we squarely face our
own worth by true repentance and
by rigid self- analysis. Real repen-
tance means, not weeping and wailing
over our worthlessness, but a fearless
self-probing and weighing of what
we are with what we know we ought
to be. If we are fair with ourselves,
we shall realize how wrong it is for
us to place that priceless jewel—our
immortal soul—in an unworthy set-
ting of brass. If we are fair with
ourselves we will place our lives and
our souls “in a setting of goodness,
truth, beauty—in one word, God.”

Dr. Graham closed his appeal with
a re-reading of the final judgment,
when Jehovah shall choose between
two Agnes Scott women. “He shall
say to the one—I was a horne-sick
Freshman and you comforted me; I
was an erring Sophomore and you
helped me; later in your life I was
your husband and your children, and
you bore me up with a clean, pure

Here follow a few notes from Agnes Scott Alumnae, stating what meant

“The spirit of Agnes Scott—that vital force that surrounds every daugh-
ter of the college and makes her feel that only through faith and service to
others are the true and worthwhile things of life accomplished.”

“Since I have been teaching, I realize that the ideals of Christian living
set before us, by example, as well as by precept, have influenced me more,
and have made me happier, than anything else on the campus.”

“Jt is hard for me to say what meant most to me at Agnes Scott. It

of the invariable exchange of greeting with every person, teacher or student
whom we met about the campus. The memory of Agnes Seott’s peculiar sweet-
ness and fineness in its relations between students, and between teac
students, has caused me to try to treat the more complex problems of the
disadvantaged people in terms as human and sweet.”

an by the roadside, and you neglected

Dr. Graham’s message could not
have been concluded more strongly.
The audience, deeply impressed, was
too tense for applause. Agnes Scott
is grateful to Dr. Graham as a com-
pletely, sincerely, and wonderfully
forceful speaker.

Dr. Wilson on Wednesday

Dr. J. Stitt Wilson, who was one
of the lecturers speaking in Atlanta
during the Religious Emphasis Week,
spoke to Agnes Scott students last
Wednesday morning at the chapel
hours. Dr. Wilson has been lecturing
at various schools and colleges for
several years, and has in this work
visited every state in the Union.

As he told us, his hobby, outside
his lectures, is mathematics; conse-
quently, his talk was very mathemati-
cally inclined. In his introduction,
he mentioned our uncertainty of the
future, and stated that if we could see
what responsibility would probably be
ours in the years to come, we would
shudder. To illustrate this point, he
cited himself saying that if some
one had told him when he was a mere
college boy that he was some day go-
ing to lecture in colleges all over the
United States, he would have fainted
dead away.

Then, he went on to apply the word
“dimensions” to human beings, a word
which as he brought out, is no longer
confined to the realm of geometry,
but is used in speech and writing of
every kind. He said that all human
beings, he knows, havethree dimen-
sions and he believes they have four
and perhaps five. The first dimension
is the body, blood, bones, flesh and
glands that go to make up the physi-
cal being of man. After saying this,
however, a comma, not a period, must
be used. Above all things, Dr. Wilson
pleaded, do not cut the tail off the
comma, because “Whenever we begin
to interpret life in the terms of body
only, we're gone—all gone—lost.”
Furthermore, a comma must be placed
after man’s second dimension, which is
his ilntellect, for we still have his
third dimension to consider and that is
his spiritualized character. Both man’s
first and second dimensions are for
the satisfaction of his third. Dr. Wil-
son closed with the words: “Let this
mind be in you that has been in Christ
Jesus.”

Dr. Wilson is one of the most
charming speakers ever heard on the
Agnes Scott platform. The expres-
sion of kindliness on his face, linked

EDITORIAL
A MESSAGE FOR THE NEW SEMESTER

The gray skies of winter become brighter each day; the black twigs of
our campus oaks will soon burst into new life; the sheets in the register
books are clean; examinations are over. We are beginning again. Oh,
blessed thought—“each soul is born again with the rising sun.” The first
thing to do is to forget the past. You failed last semester? Well, never
mind. “Failure is but a spur to those who receive it right, to go once more
into the fight. If you've never failed, it’s an even guess that you've never
won a high success.” The thing to do is to aim at a high merit this semes-
ter, and believe you can get it; you can, you know. And after all, studying
is not such a terrible ordeal. When one stops to think a minute, it is rather
thrilling to watch the amoeba through a microscope, or to learn why some
babies are afraid of rabbits, or to study short-stories of Poe; and such are
by no means ordinary opportunities.

Studying is most important simply because this happens to be an in-
stitution of learning, but there are many other activities, which will perhaps
mean more to us than lessons in the long run. To support the honor system,
in its fine points, to serve through Y. W. C. A., to debate, to practice for
Blackfriars, to sing in the Glee Club—none of these are easy things—but,
it you give yourself not somewhat, not halfway, but wholly, then only will you
live most abundantly. You will never be happier than when, tired by a
hard day of study and out-side activities, you stand upon the campus at
night, and watch the lights of Main, and feel the “sheltering” embrace of
Alma Mater. And association with students and faculty, destined to be, or
being leaders and Christian gentlewomen, is not the least advantage of a col-
lege.

But how to make this latter semester count most? -There is one way,
and only one, a way so old that one hesitates to mention it, and yet so
potent that one shudders at the thought of its possible efficacy: prayer—work
—service—the only formula for a really successful life.

WHY GIRLS GO TO AGNES SCOTT

“To be at home in all lands and ages: to count Nature a familiar ac-
quaintance, and Art an intimate friend: to gain a standard for the apprecia-
tion of other men’s work and the criticism of your own: to carry the keys of
the world’s library in your pocket, and feel its resources behind you in what-
ever task you undertake: to make hosts of friends among the men of your
own age who are the leaders in all walks of life: to lose yourself in generous
enthusiasms and cooperate with others for common ends: to learn manners
from students who are gentlemen, and form character under professors who
are Christians:—this is the offer of the college for the four best years of
your life.”

When one is choosing a place in which to pursue her higher education,
she naturally selects one from those colleges whose academic standing is
recognized as high. Agnes Scott has always prided herself in upholding
the highest academic standards. She was admitted to membership in the
“Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools for the Southern States” in
1907—the first year after being chartered as a college; and was the first
institution in Georgia and the third college for women in the South to secure
this recognition. She is on the approved list of “Association of Ameri¢an
Universities,” and her graduates are eligible to the “American Association of
University Women.” Graduate schools universally accept the degree as a
basis for M. A. and Ph. D. work. In the fall of 1925 Agnes Scott was granted
a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, being one of only nine women’s colleges having
the same. The proximity of the college to Atlanta gives the Students excel-
lent cultural advantages in the theatre, opera, etc.

But Agnes Scott has more than academic standing. She stands, and
always has stood, for the highest ideals of Christianity. Behind her growth
stands the power of prayer, and her avowed purpose is to give the highest
type of intellectual training under Christian influences. The atmosphere, the
spirit of our college, reflects the idealism of its founders. A strong and
successful honor system and student government are expressions of it. The
campus has no sororities, objecting to their undemocratic spirit. But there
are ample organizations to develop the talents of girls—Student Government
and Y. W. C. A.; Blackfriars, for dramatics; K. U. B. for journalism; B. O. Z.,
the Poetry Club, for literary development; Pi Alpha Phi, for debating; the
Glee Club, Cotillion Club, ete. And then, the friendships with both students
and faculty on the campus of a small college are most valuable.

And Agnes Scott is very particular about the physical welfare of her
students. She has a well-organized physical education department and an
excellent gymnasium. For all but Seniors, lights are turned out at 10:30
p.m,

In short, Agnes Scott stands for the highest—spiritually, intellectually,

with his air of naturalness and sinceri-
ty were his greatest assets in keeping
the company before him spell-bound.
A charming speaker. he gave, with his

pleasing gestures and glints of humor,
the impression of a charming man.

Col. Robins Talks on Leadership

In introducing the speaker for Fri-
day morning chapel exercises, Dr. Mc-
Cain said that Colonel Raymond Rob-
ins was noted for his achievements
and especially as the husband of Mrs.
Margaret Robins.

The subject of Col. Robins was
“Leadership”. He pointed out that
all democratic institutions are ‘im-
pelled by the will of strong men and
that a self-controlled free community,
the travail of the western world
through a thousand years, was the in-
carnation of men’s faith in principlés.
He cited the Herrin massacre in show-
ing that the “broadcloth mob was the
enemy of human liberty as well as
the overall mob.” To preserve the
liberty of its forefathers—such, ac-
cording to Col. Robins, is the supreme
heritage of each generation.

That this is an Age of Women, with
great opportunity ahead, was shown
by the extent of woman’s sphere, first,
in obtaining higher education; second,
in entering a free field in the profes-
sions; third, in sharing in social con-
trol through the government in judi-
cial and executive capacities. This
change of woman’s activities is due,
he said, to an actual change in the
economic and social conditions of the
world,

Col. Robins cited his personal ex-
periences in the field of the radio and
aeroplane in demonstrating that indi-
vidual power reaches further today
than ever before in the history of the
human race. There are three qualities
of the leader; these are intellectual
integrity, sound body, and moral will.
The greatest of these is a moral will,
for “the things on the inside of a per-
son are bigger than those on the out-
side.”

The capacity for social co-operation
is to produce the leaders of the fu-
ture. This is a Day of Peoples, of
leaders, of those who can lead a com-
mon life in making those of one talent
do their part. A graphic account of

Japanese Operetta

By Glee Club

The Glee Club is quite industrially
working on the Japanese Operetta it
is to present in the new gym on
Saturday, February 13th. Rehearsals.
this week are reflecting the interest
and enthusiasm needed for the
sprightliness and beauty of the music,

The out-door Japanese Garden, the
fans, lanterns, gaily colored and be-
flowered kimonas all tend to produce
the desired happiness and festive spir-_
it needed for O Hanu San’s birthday, ,

lightful Japanese custom.

The Dragon Lure Oriental Shop in
Atlanta will contribute largely to the
stage setting, and the manager, her-
self a resident of the Orient, for twen-
sy years, is contributing many valu-
able suggestions.

There are about fifty girls in the |
production, and the cast boasts of
having the Mikado himself!

Col. Robins said that the gold in life !
was for those who dig for it. He said
also that it was the spirit behind
that counts, and that one should put
one’s own personality into the task |
of getting gold, or an education, for
“syeat principles make great women.”

In conclusion, Col. Robins declared
that, if he were to leave one gift to
his audience, it would not be either
physical supremacy or mental excel-
lence, but the greatest gift he could
give the will and capacity for prayer; |
for prayer is an anchor for the soul,
and will give one a sense of the dig- |
nity of life.

Again one speaks in parables. Inv
the might and vastness of New York;
City, which once was considered too
small for an Indian tribe, and was
sold for $28, we may see the strength }
to which a human soul may rise, if!
awakened to the realities of life. Or,
again, in the parable of the pearl, we
may find that just as no oyster pro--
duces a pearl of great price without
pain, so no human soul can bring ™
forth the pearl of character without
suffering. No one has ever achieved |
without struggle. Like Elizabeth Fry,
who brought about prison reform in
the Newgate prison, and later in pris-
ons throughout England, Russia, Ger-.
many, Holland; like Florence Nightin--
gale, whose service during the Crim-
ean War led to the founding of the
Red Cross; like Octavia Hill, who
aroused interest in the cause of bet-
ter housing conditions in Vienna; like
Mrs. John J. Eagan, who is a friend
of the poor of Atlanta; like Maude -
Rowden, who is seeking to bring the
way of happiness to many; like Mary
Lyons, who made possible higher edu- -
cation for women; like Susan B. An-
thony, who, in large part, is responsi-
ble for woman’s suffrage in the
United States of America; like Fran-
cis Willard, whose efforts culminated
in the Wighteenth Amendment to
stamp out drunkenness: like Jane 4
Addams, who is raising up her fallen
sisters—like those women, we, too,
must be awakened to the dawn of
light. We must be reborn in a purity
stronger than sophistication; in a
truth deeper than philosophy. We |
must endure pain with courage before
we can say with the poet: “Our
strength is as the strength of ten
because our hearts are pure.”

February 20, written by
members of the play writing class.
This class is taught by Miss Nan
Bagley Stephens, and has for one aim
arousing interest in writing folk
plays. For instance, those who have
lived in mountain regions will be en-
couraged to write of the mountain-
eers; and those who know farming
districts, of the tenant farmer. Al-
though the college gives no credit for
work done in this class, it is hoped
that credit will be given by next year.

Those who are especially interest-
ed in the class expect that, in time,
it will become something like the
play writing class of the University
of North Carolina, whose plays are
produced by the Playmakers.

Much interest has been aroused by
the writing and presenting of these
plays at Agnes Scott, both in Atlanta
and Decatur as well as in the college
community. Critics have become in-
terested in these plays and will see

them given. The plays which will be}

presented are:
The Darned Dress — Margaret
Bland, ’20.
Aunt Teenie—Grace Augusta Og-
den, ’26.

College Student Government Association

Take Honor System into High Schools

The Women’s Intercollegiate Asso-
ciation of Student Government and
the Southern Intercollegiate Associa-
tion of Student Government have re-
cently created a distinct department
for the extension of student partici-

pation in government in secondary

schools. For several years the two

Associations did this kind of work
independently. In the Southern Asso-
ciation a Graduate Adviser directed
the colleges in carrying on this work,
and in the Eastern Association a com-
mittee of college students did it. Then
as the amount of work increased, the

two Associations realized that col-
lege students could not do this exten-
sion work efficiently on account of
their many other conflicting duties.
They,. therefore, voted to employ a
secretary whose whole time was to
be devoted to extension work for both
Associations. Such a Secretary was
secured and her work began in the
fall of 1925.

Everyone always asks how the col-
leges happen to be doing such work
for high schools. It came about in
this way. College student government
officials visualized how much Fresh-
man training would be simplified if
the Freshmen had experienced the ad-
vantages of student government in the
high schools and preparatory schools
from which they came. They felt that
their efforts would be repaid, if by
helping secondary schools to develop
such government, they would better
prepare the oncoming college students
for the rsponsibilities of self govern-
ment there. It was not long, however,
before the Intercollegiate Associations
broadened their purpose in the exten-
sion work and saw the fine chance of
helping secondary school students de-
velop their sense of honor and good
citizenship whether or not they ever
attended a college.

Since the territory in which the
Extension Secretary was to work
necessarily had to be limited in some
way, it has been restricted to the
states in which there is at least one
college that is a member of the W. I.
A. S. G or the S. I. A. S. G. This
makes in all, twenty-three states in
which the work is carried on. It
reaches over 3000 secondary schools.

The work of the Department con-
sists in gathering up information
about student participation in gov-
ernment and relaying it on the sec-
ondary schools. It tries always to
gain the co-operation of state edu-
cational officials before approaching
the schools. It attempts through cor-
respondence to interest Principal, fac-
ulty, and students, and where specific
help is needed, to give it. The De-
partment is not originating plans or
proposing new schemes of govern-
ment; it is rather making it possible
for the high schools that have worked
out successful methods of govern-
ment, to share their knowledge gained
through experience, with thousands
of other schools.

It is a fine thing the college wom-
en of the South and East are doing
to support such an undertaking.

Their support, however, must not end
with their college years, for it is when
they are teachers and workers in the
secondary schools that they must re-

privilege and responsibility of goy-

Recital by Spoken English
Department

The Department of Sponken English
gave a very interesting recital in the
Chapel Saturday evening, January
the twenty-third.

The program was divided into two
parts; the first consisting of Shakes-
peare’s “The Taming of the Shrew,”
Act 1, Scene 3, by Frances Freeborn.
“Romeo and Juliet,” Act 2, Scene 5,
by Florence Perkins. “As You Like
It,” Act 3, Seene 2, Act 4, by Mary
Freeman. Part 2 was a one-act play.
Lord Dunsay’s “The Queen’s Ene-
mies,” by Florence Perkins.

Those of the college community
who attended the recital found it very
interesting. The characters showed
unusual talent and excellent training.

Pi Alpha Phi Prepares For
Debate

As usual as this time of the year,
Pi Alpha Phi is working hard in prep-
aration for the triangular debate in
March. “The Twelve” were chosen
before the Christmas holidays, and on
February 8 and 11, there will be pre-
liminary debates to chose the team
and the alternates to meet Randolph-
Macon and Sophie Newcomb. The
twelve who are doing extensive work
on the debate are Eloise Harris, Olivia
Swann, Elsa Jacobsen, Mary Davis,
Edith Strickland, Lotiisa White, Cath-
erine Graeber, Janet McDonald, Ro-
berta Winter, Mary Riviere, Ruth Lig-
gin and Carolyn Essig.

Y. W.C. A. Presents
World Fellowship
Pageant

The Y. W. C. A. presented last Sun-
day evening a unique program—a
World-Student-Christian - Fellowship
pageant, to represent the desired co-
operation and fellowship. of students
all over the world. The costumes and
music aided in furnishing the scenic
effects.

In the prologue Emily Cope, as the
Spirit of Youth, was seen heart-brok-
en over the personifications of death,
famine and war.

Then followed scenes from various
countries, Eloise Harris acting as
reader. In the oriental scene appear-
ed Lucy Grier, Elizabeth Grier, and
Grace Chai. Then the German group
was composed of Clara Stone, Roberta
Winter, Courtney Wilkinson, Virginia
Miller, and Charlotte Buckland, who
joined in singing a German song.
Roberta Winter also made a speech
students. Next came the Hindus
expressing the ideals of the German
showing what the Hindu students
want, and they were followed by Eve-
lyn Josephs and Anais Jones as In-
dians. American students were Char-
lotte Hunter and Maurine Bledsoe,
the latter presenting Olive Shreiner’s
“Dream.”

The “Spirit of Youth” was shown
delighted with the way all the stu-
dents came together co-operating in
forming world fellowship. The voices
joined in a final triumphal chorus,
“Father of Lights.”

Exchange

After réading certain discordant
lines labeled “Poetry” in a contem-
porary paper, we have come to the
solemn conclusion that Poetic License
should be so high as to be prohibi-
tive—The Emory Wheel.

Clemson College has broken out
With another club, the “Reds.” Reds
of all shades and descriptions were

with bright, fiery, red hair, those with
dark auburn hair, and those with a
rare shade of pink. A few members
of shaven headed freshmen were taken
on condition that they resign if their
‘air did not grow out red, as it origi-
nally was.

Seniors seem to desire some even
greater mark of distinction than their
natural pride and haughty demeanor.

glowing fire, before which marsh-
mallows were being toasted on a tri-

con from Stratford-on-Avon. Miss
Laney poured tea in lovely blue china
cups, and served it together with num-

erous delicious crackers, spread with
cream cheese, crystallized fruit, and
the rest. A most enjoyable hour pass-

New Song System

To secure more interest in the song
services or pep meetings held every
Tuesday night immediately after stu-
dent government, the song leader has
devised a new system for singing
them, “Spirituals” hold sway on the
first Tuesday night, “ballads” the
next, college songs the next, and on
the last, miscellaneous ones. In this
way every one will be able to sing her
favorites.

Of special interest, however, is the
prize of five dollars given to the class
having the best attendance at the
meetings, and the other prize of five
dollars given to the girl who com-
poses the best song of any kind dur-
ing the rest of this year. Hand all
contributions in to Evelyn Powell, and
do not be shy about attending the
meetings.

Baseball Games.

Several ball games have graced the
gmy floor during the interval since
basketball gave its precedence to the
indoor interpretation of America’s na-
tional sport. All the fans have been
out rooting for their classes, while
the teams have been putting in runs
almost as fast.as Paul Revere did on
his lightning express.

The result of the Senior-Junior
game in December was 16 to 15 in
favor of the Juniors, The Sophomores
on January 8 gently wiped the Fresh-
men off the map with a score of 42
té 13. January 18 the Freshmen
were again defeated, this time by the
Seniors, who triumphed with the
score of 28 to 13. The line-up for
this game was:

Seniors: Catcher, E. Chapman;
Pitcher, Bowers; First Base, Wallace;
Second Base, Slaughter; Third Base,
Redding; Shortstop, Fain; Right
Field, Moore; Center Field, Smith;
Left Field, Brill.

Freshmen: Catcher, Crawford; Pit-
cher, Paxon; First Base, Torrence;
Second Base, Morgan; Third Base,
Bridgeman; Shortstop, Worth; Right
Field, Rice; Center Field, Warfield;
Left Field, Pasco.

Faculty Vs. Students

The faculty team of basketball
players was audacious enough to chal-
lenge the student Varsity for a game,
which took place last Wednesday eve-
ning, January 27th. A large audi-
ence of students and some faculty
gathered for the fray. And indeed it
was a delightful sight to behold the
students’ score rolling up to 33, while
the faculty’s limped behind at nine. It
was a snappy game, though, and more
or less well played, especially by
studes Cunningham and Thomas. Be-
tween halves, just to relieve the ten-
sion, Miss Nan Lingle brought out her
two teams of flashy “nitts,’ who play-
ed a delicious game of rough-house
basketball; that is, basketball as
rough as it can be made when the
players are dressed in Spanish cos-
tumes, convict suits, slickers, overalls
with hats and gloves, and the like.
Miss Lingle herself, with an artistic
maline headdress, was a most graci-
ous referee,

Line-up for factulty-student game:

Faculty (9): Forwards, Randolph
and Sinclair; Guards, Brown and F. T.
Smith; Centers, Banks and Bland.

Students (33): Forwards, Cunning-
ham and Thomas; Guards, Daniel and
Lynn; Centers, Powell and Albright.

Giddie Gossip
Giddie Dear:

I hope you don’t think I have neg-
lected you too awfully. You see, I
have such a—shall I call it marvel-
ous ?—excuse. Mrs. Sydenstricker
and Mr. Holt have just held the an-
nual contest to determine who could
The re-
sults were wonderful and _ terrible
creations! Really, those Bible exams
should have been given on the install-
ment plan. If Mr. Holt left out an
equation, it was because he forgot it.
We all agree that the contestants
should be given equal rewards.

Giddie, I always suspected that you
thought us sort of “back-woodsie”
down here at Agnes Scott, but if you
were here now, you would change
your opinion. Bryn Mawr can make
smoking legal if they want to, but
we are right up to date on the boyish
fashions—faculty and all. Miss Hale
has always been a convincing argu-
ment for less feminine sport clothes.
But, last week Miss Campbell was
“seen at the races,” as they say in
Vogue (this one must have been be-
tween Daisy Frances and Mr, Tart) in
a eap of distinctly masculine style. I
think the Agonistie should send a re-
porter to interview her and learn
whether she intends to adopt the boy-
ish bob or not.

There has been the hugest mystery
hanging over the dining room lately,
and all because of Grace Carr. She
has been walking in late to meals
with as much ease as Mary Riviere
when she walks around the dining
room with a feline under each arm.
The first time only the freshmen were
shocked, but, as the performance was
repeated, the mystery deepened. But
now all is revealed; with the passing
of exams, she became a senior!

Giddie, have you ever been honored
with a phone call from a teacher?
Don’t get excited; it was not I but
Clarkie who had this honor thrust
upon her. She was _ Spending the

at the early hour of nine to find Miss
Lillian Smith on the phone. After
many entreaties not to be excited,
Miss Smith imparted the astounding
news that “Tibullus” and not “Catel-
lus” would be the author studied dur-
ing the new semester!

Well, I must stop now and study
my psychology. One of the brilliant
students defined it on the exam as:
“What psychologists think, and how
they think about what they think.”

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1926

Never before has there been such
interest and enthusiasm over a Fash-
jon Show, as there was for the one
given here on Saturday night, Febru-
ary 6th. And the interest was height-
ened by the terrific suspense that ex-
isted from the time the ballots were
closed for voting, until the “Oh’s” and
“Ah’s” of the performance itself. The
“models deserved all the applause they
received because they were unusually
good, and “modeled” with such charm
and grace that one never thought that
they were only “pretending.”

Mary Freeman, attractively dressed
in an evening dress and Spanish
shawl, told what the Fashion Show
represented in the following words:

"Everybody has the craze,
Lately it’s become the rage
To get away from home-town faces
And see the sights of foreign places.

“Summer is the favorite season,
Really there’s no earthly reason

_ Why you should not pack your grip;
Come on, girls, let’s take a trip.

“But there’s one thing you can’t omit,
You must consider your outfit—
Or else when you’re on the road
You'll seem an innocent abroad.

“Why have to go downtown to shop
Until you're tired enough to drop;
Mr. Allen brings them down—

All you do is choose your gown.”

Now, each model is introduced in

e order of making the trip to Eu-

ope.

First: Mary Mackey Hough, in a

traveling suit.

Next:

“When you would dine upon the boat

‘One of the palaces afloat,

This gown will make your friends
declare

They never saw a maid so fair.”

Mary Prim in a dinner dress.

“In this sport coat on deck you'll walk
‘And with the travelers coyly talk.”
Helena Hermance in a sport coat.

“It’s on the sea that romance thrives

But that’s because each girl contrives

‘To look her loveliest at the dance;

Select your dress! Don’t miss the
chance.”

Edyth Coleman in a stunning eve-

ming gown.

“When landing now in sunny France

You'll be glad to have the chance

To wear this charming little suit

And down the gang-plank gaily
shoot.”

Gatherine Mitchell, in a traveling

‘costume.

“In Spain of course the Alhambra

‘you'll see

‘And roam its halls with greatest

glee.

An afternoon frock of blue you ob-

tain

To match the sunny skies of Spain.”
Gertrude Green, in an afternoon

} dress.

Sport dresses are very appropriate
for a short visit in Florence. Eloise
Harris, in a chic little sport dress.

“Here's the dress to take to France
And wear in Nice at some tea-dance.”

Emily Cope in an afternoon dress
of delicate shade.

‘When in Rome do as Romans

Everyone knows that’s the thing to
do;

And Romans give much thought to
dress;

Necessarily, you must, too.”

Evalyn Powell in a very good-look-

ing street dress.

At Venice—gondolas and canals;
This is a treat you cannot miss.
And this delightful little gown
Will still increase your perfect bliss.”
Mildred Morrow in an afternoon
Pdress and picture hat.

Next, in Berlin at opera, we see—
Ruth McMillan in a_ beautifully
Tmodeled evening gown.

SENIOR FASHION SHOW
IS A GREAT SUCCESS

“On Dresden streets to make a hit
This charming suit is exquisite.”
Elizabeth Clarke, in a tea dress.

Next we go to Brussels, where
American guests are entertained roy-
ally—

Elizabeth Little in a beautiful din-
ner gown.

“In this costume you'll see the sights
Of Paris—city of many delights;

Count de Prorok
To Lecture Here

On the night of February 10th,
Count Byron de Prorok, a distinguish-

ed young archaeologist, will give a

lecture on this subject at Agnes Scott.

He is a gifted speaker, and knows
how to present his subject in a very
interesting manner,

Count de Prorok was born in Mex-
ico City, but is now a naturalized
American citizen. He received his
education in the schools and universi-
ties of Europe. Since then, he has
devoted his time to archaeological ex-
eavations in Mexico and Northern Af-
rica. In Mexico, he helped explore
the interesting remains of the early
Indians of Yucatan. Afterwards, he
lectured on the subject of Archaeol-
ogy in the United States. Through
the Archbishop of Carthage, he be-
eame interested in the ruins of Carth-
age, and has spent the past few years
in excavating this ancient city. In
1924, he was the head of the Sahara
Archaelogical Expedition. He is a
Fellow of the Royal Geographic So-
ciety.

The Lecture Association is bringing
Count de Prorok to Agnes Scott, and
it may be congratulated for securing
such an interesting lecturer on its
program.

ACCIDENT BEFALLS
AGNES SCOTT GIRLS

The college community wishes to
extend its sincerest sympathy to
Adah, Eloise and Nancy Lou Knight,
in the loss of their youngest sister,
Roberta.

Last week, Roberta was fatally in-
jured in an automobile accident. She
was a lovely child of thirteen years
and was planning to-come to Agnes
Scott.
Lou and Eloise were seriously hurt,
but Adah, after she reached home,
wired Dr. McCain that they will re-
cover. Eloise is a graduate of *23,
and was president of the Y. W. C. A.,
that year; Nancy Lou was president
of the Freshman Class, was cheer
leader at the stunts this year. She

has been forced to go home on ac-
count of the condition of her eyes, and
her absence is keenly felt everywhere.
It is sincerely hoped that their re-
covery will be rapid.

Dr. E. P. Cheyney Gave Two |

Lectures At Agnes Scott College

Dr. E. P. Cheyney, Professor of
History at the University of Penn-
sylvania, and conceded by both Amer-
ican and English critics to be one of
the greatest authorities on English
history, lectured at Agnes Scott Col-
lege Tuesday night, February 2, un-
der the auspices of the Agnes Scott
Lecture Association. His subject was,
“And Thus Was England Born.”

The generally accepted idea that
the continent of Europe is the first
source of the English race is giving
place to the new ieda that this race
had its real origin in England itself,
absorbing the eustoms, ideas, and lan-
guage of the invading tribes. The
land of England is filled with monu-
ments of antiquity, of which Dr. Chey-
ney gave some interesting examples.
The language of England contains
some ancient forms, the source of
which is unknown. The name “Lon-
don” is of obscure origin. There are
customs in the highlands of Wales
and northern England which cannot
be explained by any of the customs
of the various tribes of England whose
history we know. The most interest-
ing and amazing of these is the “Sin-
Eater,” found in India and Russia as
well as in the more remote parts of
Wales. Much of the folk-lore of the
British Isles shows the evidence of
some race of which we have no other
record.

When the Romans conquered Eng-
land—years before the invasions of
the Angles and Saxons and Jutes—
they found the country occupied by
the Britons and Celts, types of which
remain at the present day in Scotland
and Ireland. Before this period the
history is vague. The only clue is
found in the burial mounds or “bar-
rens” of the pre-Celtic peoples. In
the round tombs are the records of
the people of the Bronze Age, writ-
ten in implements of stone and bronze.
The bones in these tombs show a peo-
ple of very different type from the
Celts.

The long tombs contain only imple-
ments of stone and bones similar to
those found in the tombs of the Lake
Dwellers in other parts of the world.
In both types of tombs are the bones
of domesticated animals. Ornaments
of jade in the long tombs are proofs
of either trade or migration. Under
these tombs and under the beds of
rivers are found the bones of extinct
animals and very crude objects of
stone and bone. There are also
throughout England remains of the
three Glacial or Ice Periods, when the
ice crept down from the Arctic. From
this point the history of man in Eng-
land is veiled in obscurity.

There are 300,000,000 English
speaking people in the world today.
They have the capacity to live in all
parts of the world, a great power of
absorption of the races with which
they come in contact, and the ability
of spreading English ideals and ideas.
We, the people of England and Amer-
ica, are the “heirs of the ages,” and
have a great part in shaping the fu-
ture of the world.

“Patriotism in Peace Times,” Subject
of Cheyney Talk in Chapel.

Dr. Edward P. Cheyney, noted his-
torian, made his trip to Agnes Scott
doubly to be remembered. In ad-
dition to his instructive lecture on
the evening of Tuesday, February 2,
he spoke at chapel exercises Wednes-
day morning on the subject, “Patriot-
ism in Peace Times.” He stated that
although we often connect patriotism
merely with war, it should be real
and present at all times. It is not im-
possible that war may be abolished
some day, yet the eternal feeling of
national consciousness shall live. For,
said Dr. Cheyney, patriotism is the
emotion of pride and exuberance
which we feel at the success of our
country in any undertaking.” He read
patriotic poems from Van Dyke, Stev-
enson, Browning, and Scott, explain-
ing that that which is emotional, such

as patriotism, is to be seen most
vividly in poetry.

America needs the support of its
citizenship, he said, because it is
America which, with its youthful
vigor, added to its inheritance of an-
cient traditions, is to carry on the
work of the world. There are count-
less things to be done to manifest
peace time patriotism: swamps to be
drained, water power to be utilized,
roads to be built, social problems,
such as industrial controversy, crime
waves, and the race question, to be
dealt with, and education to be fos-
tered. Some of us may be summoned
to be leaders of great movements; it
may be the task of others to found
“happy, healthy, intelligent homes.”
At any rate, there is individual re-
sponsibility on each of us, for, as
Lowell says, “The glory of the pres-
ent is to make the future great.” Dr.
Cheyney closed with the reading of
the lines from Longfellow which be-
gin, “Sail on, O thou Ship of State,”
leaving his audience with a renewed
zeal for practical, peace-time patriot-
ism.

Dr. Vance To Be Here
Week of February 15

The united efforts of the First Pres-
byterian Church of Atlanta, and Ag-
nes Scott College have sueceeded in
engaging Dr. James I. Vance for a
series of talks beginning February
15, and continue throughout the
week. Dr. Vance will speak every
morning in chapel here, while his
second service will held either in the
afternoon or morning at the First
Presbyterian Church.

Dr. Vance is one of the most promi-
nent ministers in the Presbyterian
church and at present has a church
in Nashville, Tenn. He is a brother
of the well-known Dr. Joseph Vance,
who has a church in Detroit, and also
of Miss Margaret Vance, who at one
time taught music here. The college
community is indeed fortunate in havy-
ing the privilege of hearing Dr. Vance.

Student Volunteer
Meeting To Be Held

The Student Volunteer Conference
will be held at G. S. C. W., Milledge-
ville, Georgia, from Friday, February
12th through Sunday, February 14th.
Many interesting speakers have been
secured for the event, chief among
whom is Mr. Robert P. Wilder, one of
the founders of the Student Volun-
teer Movement. Dr. Ashby Jones, of
Ponce de Leon Baptist Church, of At-
lanta, will make the opening address,
“Whither Bound in Modern Youth?”
Dr. Hounshell, secretary of the
Methodist Board of Foreign Missions,
and Dr. Chester, of the Presbyterian
Board, will be present also as speak-
ers and as leaders of discussion
groups.

Agnes Scott is to have ten repre-
sentatives at this conference, accord-
ing to Mary Heath, who is Secretary
of the Georgia Student Volunteer
Union. Next week Helen Smith from
the Student Volunteer Headquarters
in New York, and Joe MeCounel, will
be guests on the campus before leav-
ing for the Conference.

B. 0. Z. AND
POETRY CLUB MEET

B. O. Z. met last Friday night with
Grace Augusta Ogden. The meeting
was a very interesting one. It has
been announced that there will be new
try-outs for membership sometime in
March.

The Poetry Club held its regular
meeting with Miss McKinney last
Monday instead of Tuesday, because

of Mr. Cheyney’s lecture on that
night. The Club regretted that Miss

Laney was ill and could not be with
the members as usual. The meeting
was very interesting and successful.

EDITORIAL
WHOSE FAULT IS IT?

It has long been the consensus of opinion on the Agnes Scott
campus that our college life is lacking in social activities.
deed, this opinion is confined not only to our campus, but ex-
tends to the world beyond. The names of some colleges invoke
the expression “good time.” When Agnes Scott is mentioned the
word “work’’ comes to mind. Perhaps this is a good reputation
for us to have; at any rate, it seems more preferable than the one
of a college of “good times.”

Yet, all work and no play makes a dull girl; hence, the neces-
sity for social activities. Now, if there is a lack of them, as
most students think, whose fault is it? The faculty has no ob-
jection to our having a good time, provided that we do our work.
But there is the barrier that the faculty offers: our work, that
we must do for them, is often so heavy, that there is no time al-
lowed for other things or, at least, that is what we say. Yet it
is very possible that if we just wanted to, we could find time to
devote to more pleasant things. Indeed, the only purely social
organization on the campus, the Cotillion Club, has felt this to
be so, and has formed the plan of having one afternoon each
week, a tea dance to which the members are invited. Some sort
of a program is planned, so that the affair never falls flat. This
is an admirable plan, and one which, if it continues, will help to
break the too close association that the words Agnes Scott have
with the word work.

Just recently two lovely receptions were held, with the Senior
Class as the invited guests of one, and the entire college com-
munity as the guests of the other. Added to these was the tea
of last Tuesday afternoon. Certainly no more could be expected
in the way of social activities than these affairs offered. Yet,
when the entire college was invited, how many failed to take
advantage of the opportunity. “Too much trouble’ was the
reason given in most cases—and then “I haven’t anything to
wear.” Behind these two reasons lies the gist of the whole mat-
ter. If it is too much trouble to go to a lovely reception, that
is because we do not appreciate the opportunity and it means
nothing to us; hence, the indifference of the student is one
very important reason for this alleged lack of social life. On the
other hand, if it is said “I haven’t anything to wear,” it is pos-
sible that that may be, in a measure, true; and the fault this time
does not lie with the girl. Most girls at Agnes Scott, when they
are planning their wardrobe for college, have to think of only
the things they are going to need. Therefore, if work is so
closely associated with college life at Agnes Scott that social ac-
tivities have no place, it is no wonder that the girls do not take
into consideration that they will need a “party dress.” So that
this last excuse is sometimes possible, even if not probable.
Either our work is too much with us, or we just “don’t care.”

Sesqui Tourists Will
See Franklin’s Grave
Shrine of Patriotism

Impressive Ceremonies in
Old Church Yard in Cele-
bration Program of
Exposition

Impressive ceremonies at the grave
of Benjamin Franklin are included
in the program of celebrations to be
held during the Sesquicentennial In-
ternational Exposition. Nationally
famed orators will speak on this
memorable occasion.

The remains of the statesman,
scientist and philosopher who played
so important a part in bringing about
the Declaration of Independence of
which he was one of the signers, lie in
Christ Church burying ground at
Fifth and Arch Streets, one of the
busiest sections of Philadelphia, and
only two blocks away from Indepen-
dence Hall.

The shrine of patriotism will be vis-
ited by millions of visitors to the
Exposition.

Standing in front of the gymnasium
of the University of Pennsylvania is
a statute of Benjamin Franklin, pic-
turing him on his arrival in Philadel-
phia with his earthly possessions tied
in a handkerchief, slung over his
shoulder, As he was only 17 years of
age at this time, Philadelphia claims
him as her own, and with deepest
gratitude acknowledges his many in-
valuable services to city and nation.

Founder of University.

Franklin is well called the “Found-
er of American Institutions.” He
projected the college which later be-
eame the University of Pennsylvania,
now famed throughout the world as
an institution of learning.

The Pennsylvania Hospital, found-
ed by Franklin, has carried on its
work of mercy through all the years
and ranks with the foremost hospitals
of the country.

Franklin also founded the still in-
fluential American Philosophical So-
ciety and made plans for the first
public library. The reading public
of the present day has reason to
‘thank him for our well-equipped li-
braries which bring knowledge within
the reach of everyone.

Published Almanac.

He also established one of the first
printing offices in Philadelphia, pub-
lishing Poor Richard’s Alamanac,
which was not only a calendar, but a
continuous stream of fun, dealing
with the real things of life in the
inimitable manner of which Franklin
was master.

In this 20th century of steam-heat-
ed houses we find it hard to realize
the discomforts suffered by the peo-
ple of bygone days. Franklin designed
a stove which proved a veritable bles-
sing.

Keen interest in science was mani-
fested in Pennsylvania at this time,
spurring Franklin in experiments
which resulted in the invention of the
lightning rod.

Freedom in speech and action was
to Franklin the only possible mode of
government. He was conscpicuously
“unselfish when the appeal was to his
public spirit or to his interest in the
general welfare of mankind. His life
was one of service.

More Isolation?

February 2.—Presi-
dent Coolidge today issued a state-
ment which was read in the Senate
that the recent vote of the Senate,
to enter the Permanent Court of In-
ternational Justice, did not indicate
any change in the administration’s
foreign policy. The statement came
in reply to the reiterated belief that
the President would soon urge our en-
trance into the League of Nations.
The administration, being Republicans
of the school of the late Senator
Lodge, hastened to contradict the idea.

Will We Freeze?

The last session of the conference
which has been attempting for several
months to settle the anthracite coal
strike, came to an unsuccessful con-
clusion on February 2. The cause of
the adjournment was the failure of

the two parties to agree as to the
future methods of arbitration to be
used. The miners insisted on volun-
tary arbitration and the operators de-
manded compulsory arbitration. So
measures for peace often become
causes for war.

Sesqui Stadium Scene
of Championship
Football Games

Sectional Games to be
Played by Leading
Elevens in the
Country

Philadelphia will be the scene of
the most important football games in
the United States next season accord-
ing to the plans of the Sports Com-
mittee of the Sesquicentennial Inter-
national Exposition.

Owing to the fact that teams at-
taining supremacy in different sec-
tions of the country meet only the
teams of colleges situated within the
same territories, the title of champion
is often disputed.

With the idea of clarifying this sit-
uation and naming a national cham-
pionship eleven through competitive
tests, Dr. George W. Orton, Director
of Sports of the Exposition, and Wil-
liam M. Hollenback, chairman of the
Football Committee, are arranging
for the leading teams of the East,
Middle West, South and Pacific Coast
to play two games each in the Sesqui
Stadium.

A championship gold cup will be
awarded by Bernard W. Gimbel, of
the Gimbel Brothers stores in Phila-
delphia and New York. Mr. Gimbel
is a graduate of the University of
Pennsylvania where he won fame as a
football player and also as a member
of the wrestling team.

Dr. Orton and Mr. Hollenback are
confident of having the annual battle
between the Army and Navy teams
fought in the Sesqui Stadium, because
the West Point and Annapolis author-
ities are impressed by the fact that
the huge steel and concrete bowl in
the Exposition grounds will accom-
modate 200,009 spectators, more than
double the number that could witness
the game anywhere else in the coun-
try.

There is ample room for temporary
additional stands. Besides the large
area of ground within the Stadium
enclosure will give unrestricted space
for the parade drills of cadets and
midshipmen which always prove a
very popular feature of these con-
tests.

Carpenters’ Hall
to Be Irresistible
Sesqui Attraction

Meeting of First Congress,
September 5, 1775, Will
Be Re-enacted in
Tableaux

During the progress of the Sesqui-
centennial International Exposition
the organization of the first Conti-
nental Congress, which took place in
Carpenters’ Hall, September 5, 1775,
will be faithfully reproduced in a
dramatized form in which every char-
acter that figured on that date will
be portrayed,

Next to Independence Hall and the
Liberty Bell in point of historie in-
terest in Philadelphia to visitors to
the Sesquicentennial celebration is
this building which stands back from
Chestnut street between Third and
Fourth streets, and is approached by
a narrow court, wide enough for only
one vehicle.

The selection of Carpenters’ Hall
as the place of the organization of
the First Continental Congress came
about through the proffer of the
building to the delegates to the Con-
gress then meeting at the City Tav-
ern in Second street near Walnut. At
this time the Provincial Assembly was
in session in the Pennsylvania State
House and there was no other place,
outside of Carpenters’ Hall, suitable
for formal meetings of the Congress.

Notable Men in Congress.

This Continental Congress was a
gathering of the most notable men in
America, including as it did, George
Washington, John Adams, Thomas
Jefferson, Patrick Henry, John Han-
cock, Peyton Randolph and Richard
Henry Lee, representing twelve colo-
nies.

Accepting an invitation from offi-
cers of the Carpenters’ Company, the
delegates walked from the City Tav-
ern to Carpenters’ Hall where, after
two days devoted to organization, the
first meeting for actual discussion of
the momentous steps to be taken was
held.

The building, which is considered a
model of taste, is symmetrically pro-
portioned, having the curious struc-
tural feature of of four faces, of equal
dimensions and with the pediment
above the front door matched as to
shape and proportions by the larger
pediment of the gable.

Appearance Unchanged.

Outwardly, except that it is over-
shadowed by newer structures, its
aspect is unchanged; it is practically
the same in appearance as it was be-
fore Concord and Bunker Hill put the
results of the First Congress into ac-
tion,

The Exposition to celebrate the one
hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
the signing of the Declaration of In-
dependence to inspire greater public
interest in events incidental to the
birth of American Independence and
the establishment of the nation was
first suggested by the late John Wan-
amaker,

It is the intention of the Division of
Pageantry to memorialize through
picture and tableaux many of these
events where they actually took place

Tennis Tournament

The annual tennis tournament has
begun now and if all the good racket
slingers have not found it out, it is
high time for the glad news to drift
their way. The class managers are do-
ing everything in their power to make
this season successful and all they
neéd is the co-operation of the stu-
dents. Sterling Johnson, the tennis
manager, says that there is a simply
dandy, seventeen dollar racket to the
winner of the singles, besides a letter.
The double champions will also re-
ceive letters. Thus it behooves bud-
ding Helen Wills to trip out to the
courts immediately and trust to good
Dame Fortune for sucgess.

Swimming Meet
The inspiration for the classes who
are aspiring for the swimming cham-
pionship is gorgeously adorning the
Athletic Bulletin Board in Main, This
will be the first swimming banner
ever presented, so the class which
wins it will be rarely honored. The
date of the meet which is to come off

shortly is still undecided.

The club movement evolved from
the need of woman to express herself
other than in the baking of an angel
food cake or the creation of a Paris
model. It was a protest against the
Puritan regime which prohibited her
from following any primrose by-path
which might increase her own happi-
ness and usefulness.

There had been no concerted action
of women along any line prior to 1868
when the club idea had its inception.
With the exception of oyster suppers
in the churches or hushed talk con-
cerning yotes for women, woman’s
place was literally in the home. The

People have been complaining of
the lack of social life at Agnes Scott.
The Cotillion Club has taken a great
step toward getting rid of this defi-
ciency. They are giving tea dances
every Wednesday afternoon from 5

that the members may get home in

But in the long run, the club move-
ment has taught women how to think,
to speak and to act for the best good
of the community in which they live.
“Unity in Diversity,” the motto of the
General Federation, is being followed
out by the women of the present
membership of the Federation, so that
widely diverse group tendencies and

and will be in charge of the Greek

‘are not a bit uncertain about it our-

from a too hasty glance at the Swim-

Six Debaters Chosen

Thursday night, February 11th, the
final debate prior to the choosing of
the debating team was held; and Fri-
day morning the decision of the Fac-
ulty committee on Debating was an-
nounced to the college. The affirma-
tive team, which will meet Randolph-
Macon representatives at Agnes Scott,
-is composed of Janet Mae Donald and
‘Elsa Jacobsen, with Louise White as
alternate. The negative team will
meet Sophie Newcomb, representa-
tives at Sophie Newcomb, and is com-
posed of Catherine Graeber and Eloise
Harris, with Mary Lloyd Davis as al-
ternate. The debate will be held
March 19, and the subject is “Resoly-
ed: ThatChina should at the present
} time be granted complete control over
her customs, tariffs, and foreigners
within her boundaries.” Everyone is
very enthusiastic over the personnel of
the teams, and is prophecying a good
showing for Agnes Scott in the meet-
ing with Randolph-Macon and Sophie
Newcomb.

Count de Prorok Lectures

One of the most fascinating lectur-
ers, in both subject and personality,
who has been to Agnes Scott is Count
de Prorok, world-famed as a brilliant
explorer and archeologist and rapidly
gaining an equal reputation as a lec-

turer. He has a magnetic personality

and a charm of manner which appeal
greatly to his audience. His subject
for the evening was “Recent Excava-
tions of Carthage and Dead Cities of
the Sahara.” The account of his five
expeditions—to Carthage, Utica, the
submerged city off the coast near Car-

thage, across the Sahara, and into the
land of the Touraegs—were made
doubly vivid by the 5,000 feet of film
with which the Count illustrated his
lecture. Owing to a very recent ill-
ness the Count was unable to com-
plete his lecture himself. Dr. Fletcher
Allen, of the University of London,
historian of the expedition of which
Count de Prorok was director, substi-
tuted for the Count. Both the Count
and Dr, Allen are young, handsome,
and pleasing speakers.

Count Byron Khun de Prorok is one
of the oldest and most distinguished
branches of the Polish nobility. Dur-
ing disturbances in Poland his family
emigrated to the United States and
made their home at St. Louis, the
birthplace of the Count. When the
Count de Prorok returned to Poland
he was re-instated in his office as
Count de Prorok by the Pope. He was
educated in France and England. He
has explored the old castles on the
Rhine and in the Carpathian Mount-
ains, the Everglades of Florida, the
ruins of the ancient Mexican civiliza-
tion, the ruins of the prehistoric cave-
dwellers of Switzerland, ruins in Corn-
wall, Brittany, Rome and Pompeii. He
explored the ruins of the great cities
in the Sahara founded by ‘Rome; and
headed the expedition which traversed
thousands of miles across the Sahara
into the then unexplored Hoggar
country, the home of a mysterious
white race, claimed by some to be the
city of the “Lost Atlantis.” Four
years ago he was commissioned by the
French Government to direct the ex-
cavation of the site of Carthage, and
through his success there has opened
vast pages of a long lost civilization.
He was awarded the golden palm by
the French government in recognition
of his remarkable studies in Northern
Africa. The Count is an officer of
the Nichem Iftigar of Tunis, fellow of
the Royal Geographical Society of
England, and Norton Memoria] Lec-
turer of the Archeological Institute
of America.

In his lecture Wednesday night
Count de Prorok gave an account of
his work in Northern Africa. At Car-
thage he has dug through seven lay-
ers of civilization to reach the layer
which shows Carthage at its height.
This Carthage was destroyed by the
Romans in 146 B. C., and dates back
beyond the year 1,000 B, C. The ex-
cavators have dug through the cities
in the time of the Barbary Pirates,
the Spanish Invasion, the Ninth Cru-
sade, to the Phoenician period, to the
ruins of Carthage as it was when it
was the greatest city of the Mediter-
ranean, unveiling as they came upon
each period of civilization seerets that
have been known only to the tombs in
which they were buried. The first
Phoenician cemetery discovered was
found by the Count and his helpers.
The inseriptions on the tombs and
monuments were taken down and
translated by one of the professors
in the party, revealing much concern-
ing the life of the ancient Phoenicians.

Below the Phoenician ruins was a
layer of ashes, remains of old build-
ings of stone, and human bones, the
records of the destruction of Carthage
by the Romans. At Utica, a short
distance from Carthage the Temple of
Tanit has been unearthed, The legend

Carthagians to the dread Baal-Moloch

The jars also contained bracelets,

predicting the curse of Tanit and
Baal-Moloch on whoever should open
the temple. An increase in salary was
necessary to get the natives to work
after this stone was found.

The Count said that buildings from
the ruins of Carthage are to be found
in all the large cities of Northern
Africa near Carthage, especially at
Tunis.

One of the most interesting things
discovered is a Greek galley sunk off
the coast near Carthage. Tales of
this galley were spread by sponge div-
ers before the World War. It has
been found to contain many Greek
statues and other objects from an-
cient Greece. A hairpin factory was
unearthed at Utica. At Utica, too,
were found the huge mosaic floors de-
picting the life of the people.

From Carthage Count de Prorok
took us to Lotus Island, not far from
Carthage which is wonderfully beau-
tiful. There are twelve cities buried
in its sands. The oldest known race
of Africa lives there. They are most-
ly sponge divers, and can stay under
water as long as six minutes. The
finest sponges in the world are ob-
tained around this island. The divers

which was explored by the Count’s
divers. Many objects from the houses
of the city were brought up. The
Count himself went down several
times.

Over the excellent Roman roads and
huge sand dunes the Count and his
party crossed thousands of miles of
the Sahara. The care were specially
constructed. All of the desert is by no
means sand. Besides the oases are
cliffs where there is some vegetation.
The party slept in old Phoenician
tombs, in the hive-like structures of
a city of mud in the middle of the des-
est. They crossed the vast salt for-
mations at forty miles an hour. They
were met several times by friendly
Arabs, children of the desert. Ruins
of long lost cities are below the sands
near the oases. The land of prehis-
toric man, almost untouched, is in the
heart of the Sahara. This has opened
up a vast new field. Besides relics
there were numerous carvings on the
sides of caves. The expedition cross-
ed Constantine’s great suspension
bridge over a gorge in the desert. The
tombs of the White Fathers and the
Valley of Lost Souls were less cheer-
ful aspects of the journey. Above the
Valley of Lost Souls is a high, large
Plateau, on which live a mysterious,
undiscovered race. Only two people
have ever succeeded in climbing the
plateau, and only one of them return-
ed, telling strange stories of the in-
habitants of the mountain,

Count de Prorok excavated the tomb
of Tin-Hanan, the alleged mother of
the Touraegs, a white race on the
other side of the Sahara where the
men wear veils, the Hoggar country.
It is the only similar discovery in
the Sahara. Nine days were neces-
sary to get inside the tomb,

Many interesting days were spent
in the land. of the Touraegs. They
are a very poetic race, and have many
strange customs.

On the return across the desert the
photographer obtained a remarkable
movie of a sand storm in which they
were caught, the only movie of a
sand storm in the world. He also got
a picture of a mirage.

The Count has recently published a
book containing the accounts of some
of his adventures. “Digging for Lost
African Gods” is just off the press.

The scene is laid in a Japanese gar-

The curtain rises on a number of
Japanese girls, who are visiting O
Hanu San, a young Japanese beauty,
who is about to celebrate her eigh-
teenth birthday, regarded in Japan
as “coming of age.’’ Helen Bates took

the part of this Japanese girl, of posi-

thrilled her audience,

In the second act, two American
girls, who are touring in Japan with
their governess for education and
pleasure, are impelled by curiosity to
enter the garden; while their govern-
ess is sketching, they slip away from
her.

The Japanese girls returning resent
the intrusion of a foreigner. They
wake the governess, who has fallen
asleep at her easel, and pretend not to
understand her explanation. O Hanu
San comes to her rescue, and in the
end invites the American ladies to
remain as her guests to witness the
interesting and quaint ceremonies
about to begin. They accept grate-
fully and win the hearts of all their
hostesses,

The Operetta was well done in
every detail. The harmony of the
chorus and the splendid technique of
the soloists will not soon be forgotten.

Blackfriars To
Present 4 Plays

Blackfriars will present its first
program of local plays, that is, cam-
pus-written ones, Saturday evening,
February 20, in the new gymnasium.

The plays are little gems, and of
much variety. “The Charm of the
Hawthorne,” by Elizabeth McCallie,
‘27, is a fantasy as fresh and dainty
as its name would imply. Margaret
Bland’s “The Darned Dress,’ is a
touching tragedy of a little mountain

girl whose soul is starved for beauty.
“Aunt Teenie,” featuring a half-
crazed old woman held in the grip of |
the sea, gives all the thrills of power-
ful tragedy, such as Grace Augusta
Ogden alone could have written. To
say that Polly Stone’s “Values” has
a taste of Polly herself in it is enough
to insure a large audience.

in Atlanta

Enthusiasm has run riot with mus-
ie-loving Hottentots over the variety
and interest of entertainments of that
nature given in Atlanta.

Monday night, February 8th, the
Minneapolis Symphony ,orchestra gave
a concert—the fourth of a series of
five secured by the Atlanta Music
Club. The orchestra consists of nine-
ty pieces and the program rendered
included pieces appealing to all tastes.
It was attended by one of the largest
and most appreciative audiences of
the year.

To all those who have not seen it
and to many who have, the news that
“Blossom Time” is coming back to
Atlanta will be received with great
pleasure. The Schubert productions
are always great favorites with the
public. “Blossom Time,” especially.
It is an exquisitely tender love story,
the charm of which is enhanced by the
loveliness of the music. This will be
presented at the Atlanta Theatre the
week beginning Monday, February
15th.

Another event of great moment to
music-lovers will be the appearance
of the incomparable Galli-Curei at
the Atlanta Auditorium next Friday
night, February 19th. The tickets went
on sale Monday, February 15th.

EDITORIAL
A CURE FOR WORRY

Carlyle has remarked and Sir John Simon, the famous London
hygienist quoting him, has used as the core of the most help-
ful little essay called “Living in Hour-tight Ells,” or some-
thing to that effect, this sentence: “For our duty is not so much
to see what lies dimly in the distance as to do what lies clearly
at hand.”

The gist of Dr. Simon’s essay is that, if we would not bother
about the things that have already gone wrong or may go wrong
in the future, but simply do with what grace we can the task
staring us squarely in the face, we would, as a’ftace, be a much
“smiling-er’ people. He relates, I believe, the bavident of a sick
woman who was to be in the Hospital for many weeks, and was
becoming worse thinking of the weary stretch ahead. He re-
minded her that she had to live “‘only a day at a time.” Pretty
sound philosophy, too.

The practice of such a theory would doubtibas be of untold
benefit to college students, whose favorite appellage for them-
selves seems to be “wreck.” If we would not think of the long
list of tests, term papers, lines of Latin to be worked over some-
times, but simply tackle the small part of them! which must be

The American Flag

When the question of selecting a
suitable flag for the Sesquicentennial
International Exposition arosé it be-

came at once evident that because
of the nature of the event which the
Exposition was to celebrate only one
standard could properly be used. This
was the flag of the United States of
America.

With a few exceptions, our flag
is the oldest in the world. It has
stood substantially the same for near-
ly 150 years, while in other lands na-
tional emblems have changed as em-
pires have fallen and vast political up-
heavals brought with them new ban-
ners to claim the allegiance of the
populace.

Contrary to general belief the flag
of the United States was not an in-
spired creation. It was formed from
the continental Union flag by substi-
tuting in the canton a circlet of thir-
teen stars for the two crosses—St.
George’s and St. Andrew’s—of Britain.
The stripes were already there.

George Washington described its
making thus: “We take the star from
Heaven; the red from our mother
country, separating it by white stripes,
thus showing that we have separated
from her; and the white stripes shail
go down to posterity representing lib-
erty.”

In the coat of arms of Washington

there were, curiously, both stars and
stripes represented, and many histo-
rians have sought to establish a con-
nection between this and the concep-
tion of the flag. Except for the coin-
cidence, not a serap of evidenze has
ever been discovered to support this
theory, however, attractive as it is.

It was a year after the signing of
the Declaration of Independence that
the first legislation for the flag was
enacted. On June 14, 1777,
brated by us as Flag Day, Congress
sitting in Philadelphia, adopted the
following resolution:

“Resolved, That the flag of the
thirteen United States be thirteen
stripes, alternate red and white; and
the union be thirteen stars, white in a
blue field, representing 9 new con-
stellation,”

This was the first official step to-
ward the adoption of our national em-
blem. The resolution was officially
published in August and the design
first promulgated by Congress on Sep-
tember 3d. Where it was first dis-
played is still a question of dispute,
but it flew in the breeze at the battle
of Brandywine on September 11th, at
Germantown on October 4th, and in
all subsequent encounters. The con-
nection of Betsy ‘Ross with it is a be-

December 17, 1925.
Editor, Agonistic,
Agnes Scott College,
Decatur, Ga.
Dear Sir:

In the period 1921-1923 the students
of many nations and particularly of
the United States contributed $400,000
for the relief of the students of Ger-
many. Without this gift, it is likely
that the German universities in the
period of impoverishment immediately
after the war would have been forced
to close.

I have come to this country as a
representative of the German student
body to give an accounting of the ex-
penditure of that gift. The students
of Germany haye asked me to say to
the students of the United States that
they have decided to consider the gift
as a loan. Payment of the loan will
be made in the form of annual stu-
dent contributions to the Internat-
ional Student Trust Fund, to be used
to meet emergencies in education in
all parts of the world.

As a measure of self-protection af-
ter the war, the students of Germany
had organized a federation, the Deut-
sche Studentenschaft, representing
all the 90,000 undergraduates of the
48 universities. The financial aid

ment made in Mercer's schedule for

The “Emory Wheel” rejoices that
the identity of the mysterious ‘S. P.

B. Sargent, president of the student
body, announced Thursday that it
stood for “Students and Faculty, Pub-
lic, Alumni, and Methodists’”—the four
groups to whom Emory looks for sup-
port of its $10,000,000 program. The
first $75,000 is to be raised by the
students and faculty and is to be
used to erect a Student Activities
Building, create a “silvery lake” to
ripple in the moonlight—and in the
sun too, for that matter—a new ath-
letic field, and other general campus
improvements. The Agonistic wishes
the students and faculty all success
in the campaign.

lighted the Hottentots with their

loved legend enshrined in the hearts
of school children.

In the spring of 1795, two more
states having been added to the Union,
the circle of thirteen stars was chang-
ed to a square of fifteen to include the
new states. In this form it remained
for twenty-three years, and so it was
when it inspired Francis Scott Key to
write the immortal anthem of the Star
Spangled Banner which has become
inseparable from it in the thought of
Americans.

The last modification of the flag
was in 1818 when, the number of
states having grown to twenty, and
additional ones foreseen in the future,
President Monroe signed an act to the
effect that every new state admitted
into the Union would be recognized on
the 4th of July following its admis-
sion by the addition of a new star to
the flag.

The bill was signed on April 14,
1818, and in the 108 years that have
passed twenty-eight more stars have
appeared in the blue field, but other-
wise our flag has not changed.

from other lands made it possible
for the federation to establish the
German Students Co-Operative Asso-
ciation to provide the ways and means
whereby a student with scanty finan-
cial resources could earn an educa-
tion.

The main function of the German
Students Co-Operative Association has,
therefore, been its employment service.
During the last four years it has
provided jobs for more than 100,000
students for an average period of
from 6 to 12 months. These are not
part time jobs done on the side; they
are full time jobs, undertaken during
the summer or at night, or during
a year’s interval in the college career;
they include jobs in mines, in fac-
tories, in manual labor of all kinds.

Now, that may not seem so unusual
to the American, accustomed to stu-
dent employment. But it is a very
extraordinary development in Ger-
many. Under the old traditions of
German student life, manual labor
was never even considered. Now most
of the students are working to sup-
port themselves for at least part of
their educational career.

But that is only one item in the
work of the German Students Co-Op-
erative Association.
dent cafeterias and co-operative shops,
it has reduced the cost of living for
the undergraduate nearly 50 per cent.
Each student is given a medical ex-
amination, and a doctor’s supervision
is provided where necessary. 250
fellowships have been established.
Mutual Loan Societies grant annually
to deserving students loans amounting
to $475,000. The Association has
made it possible for 20,000 students
every year to, secure an education,
who otherwise would be denied it.

So you can see that an important
development has grown out of that
act of generosity on the part of the
students of the world. The Associa-
tion is now a permanent concern with
yearly receipts of nearly $1,000,000.
The whole German Republic contri-
butes to its work. In comparison with
American conditions the German stu-
dent needs are still very great; there

Treasure Island Concession
to Bring Storybook World
to Reality for Children.

Treasure Island, the great children’s
amusement park which delighted Eng-
lish youngsters at the British Empire
Exposition at Wembley, has been se-

cured for the Sesquicentennial Inter-
national Exposition and the contract
signed.

It will cover an area of five acres,
‘or five times the size of its reproduc-
tion at Wembley, where it was one
of the most attractive features of the

exposition. ;

This great center of amusement was
originated by Major E. A. Belcher,
C. B. E., who for many years was em-
ployed in educational work among
children in England and New Zealand.
His experience in this field guided his
selection of the type of amusement
which is offered on Treasure Island.

There will be a miniature double-
track railway constructed by the
Canadian Pacific Railway and passing
through a reproduction in miniature
of, the picturesque country in the
Canadian Rockies which is daily tra-
versed by the fast transcontinental
trains of this company. There will be a
broad stretch of sandy beach sloping
down to a small lake on which boat
loads of joyful youngsters can satiate
their desire “to play near the water.”
On the lake there will be a large
model of William Penn’s ship, the
“Welcome,” floating, and along the
beach miniature reproductions of a
farm with stables, cowsheds and pig
styes.

Scattered through the five acres
of hills and valleys, clumps of shrub-
bery and = stretching fields, such
things dear to children’s hearts as
Robinson Crusoe’s Hut, the Palace
of Aladdin, Cinderella’s kitchen and
other shrines of storybook land will
become realities. And that none of
the atmosphere surrounding these
things may be lacking, the characters
of the storybooks as well will come
to life dressed in their parts, and join
with the children in their play as they
do in their thoughts. Here will be
found Long John Silver, Peter Pan,
Wendy, the Mad Hatter, Robin Hood,
Captain Hook, Aladdin, ‘Cinderella,
characters from Fenimore Cooper and
Mark Twain, and dozens of others.

A reproduction of Noah’s Ark will
tell in vivid portrayal the famous
Biblical story and once again the ani-
mals will pass into the fabled sanctu-
ary, two by two, in the ancient tradi-
tional manner. Caves, an irresistible
attraction for the venturesome, will
honeycomb the Island. None of the
amusements that are favorites of
children will be neglected. Long
slides, swings, and innumerable de-
vices for occupying a child’s play
hours will be included. An aerial
rope-way with airplanes suspended
will carry the youngsters for thril-
ling rides through the air.

An old English village, copied from
Chalfont St. Giles where William Penn
lived, will be constructed and “Jor-
dans”, where he worshipped will be

Yes this wave of Romanticism has
even had an effect on Mary Reviere.
She talks about “getting closer to the:
organ.” Well, I am closer to it too
since I live in Rebekah. What a hor-
ribly material soul I am, Giddie!

Perhaps having a real live count in
our midst with a Rudolph Valentine
profile and a marcel, which not even
MUSE’S Miss Polly could rival,
partly responsible for this romantic
movement. Or perhaps it is because
it is Valentine Day. Anyway I think
the season—or someone's reaction to
the season—must have some effect on
the attitudes of Lillian White and
Frances Buchanan. But no one could
keep from smiling if she were the re-
cipient of a wonderful box of Nun-
nally’s or some of the products that
have made Dahl’s famous.

Have I written you that Dr. Chey-
ney lectured to us? Yes, we had two
opportunities to hear him besides a
chance to watch him drink coffee.
When Dr. McCain announced that his
subject would be “Patriotism in
Peace Time,” I heard some one ask
Gene Dozier if “Peace Time” was one
of those new countries that are al-
ways bobbing up in Germany.

Please write me soon Giddie. It is
getting to be really embarrasing the
way I never get any mail. Some one
yesterday asked me if I had moved
out of that box!

The greatest disappointment of the
year was experienced on Wednesday
evening when the fascinating Count de
Prorok disappeared into the depths of
the Agnes Scott swimming pool or
some such place and was unable to at-
tend the reception given in his honor
after the lecture. The girls feel that
they had dressed in their best evening

have the opportunity of seeing them
in all their glory.

the Athletic tea and shower given by
the Athletic Board in the Gymnasium
last Monday afternoon from five to
six. The idea included a shower of

articles suitable for camp use, and

many valuable articles greatly needed
were received.

The Board, dressed alike in riding-
habits, composed the receiving line.
Games were played, the Virginia Reel
danced, and tea. was served later in
the afternoon. Everyone reported a
most enjoyable time.

These days the Infirmary seems to
be the most popular place on the cam-
pus. Mary Dudley Brown, Elizabeth
Cole and Lucy Mai Cook just came
out, but Frances Buchanan and Louise
Sherfesee are still hidden in _ its
depths,

in Elizabeth Snow’s wedding. Aren’t
they lucky, though! Sarah Smith, |
Gertrude Green and Betty Little saw
the wedding and said it was lovely.

Everybody is quite proud to see
Luey Oliver once more. She is stay-
ing in Decatur with her sister, Mrs.

Mary Mackey Hough, Elizabeth
Cole, Josephine Houston, Nellie Zel-
lars, and Lillian Le Conte must have
had a “prime” at that buffet supper
they went to at the Woman’s Club |
Tuesday night, judging from their
sleepy looks Wednesday morning.

Josephine Douglas spent the week-
end with Ruth McMillan.

Among those having dinner at the
tea-room together Wednesday night
were Elizabeth Gregory, Florence
Perkins, Grace Augusta Ogden, Louise
Bennett, Helen Clark Martin, Mar-
garet Martin, Ellen Fain, and Cather-

were suggestive of St. Valentine.

morning. Miss Smith is planning to
go to China as a missionary soon, and
during the course of her talk spoke

she wanted to be a missionary, and
more specifically, why she wanted to

it seemed to her that the best way of
securing world peace and industrial
prosperity was through the medium
of the missionary.

Even-Handed
Justice and Equal
Opportunity

By A. C. Ray, Davidson College.

(The paper from which the follow-
ing extract is taken won second prize
of $50 in the 1925 Southwide college
contest conducted by the Commission

on Interracial Cooperation—Editor).

Justice and equality of opportunity
to every race is the only sure way to
solve our race problem. Human per-
sonality must be regarded as sacred.
During the last forty years we have
put to death 4,000 people by lynching
and mob violence, while in countries
where the whites are outnumbered
five and even twenty to one, not a
single case of lynching is known.

No one wants either intermarriage
or segregation of races. We must
realize that every race has its indivi-
dual differences, and that humanity |
needs the best contribution that each
race can make.

“BKquality’ does not involve equal
attainments, nor even—immediately—
equal political status, any more than
the essential equality of college stud-
ents means no senior privileges and
no fresh caps.

Brotherhood does not mean inter-
marriage or social equality.

However, equality and brotherhood
do mean equal justice and the oppor-
tunity to develop and exercise all the
faculties which God has given to each
man. They do not mean that every
student gets on the football teams or
makes Phi Beta Kappa, but that all
men have an equal chance and can ex-

ercise every faculty of body, mind,
and spirit.

Sir Phillip Lugard, in applying these
principles to race relations, very fitly
expresses “the true way out” when
he says, “Here then is the true con-
ception of the interrelation of color:
Complete uniformity in ideals, abso-
lute equality in the paths of knowl-
edge and culture, equal opportunity
for those who strive, equal admiration
for those who achieve; in matters
social and racial a separate path, each
pursuing his own inherited traditions,
preserving his own race purity and
race pride, Equality in things spiri-

tual; agreed divergence in things

physical and material.”

Those of us who are not willing |

that the other races should have se-
curity from mob violence and pre-
judiced legal decisions and freedom
from perpetual social ostracism and

political degradation are no less op-

pressors than slave masters in Eu-
rope, and are just as guilty of murder
as those who stood by when that last
Negro was lynched and piled faggots
on the fire that consumed his body.
The plan I advocate is that of ap-
plying the Christian ideal, the teach-

adorn their Annual. It was a still
greater compliment to be the one
chosen, and we are proud of the fact
that Eloise Harris, although she is
not (according to some) the most
beautiful, is the best all-round girl
in college, one of the intercolleg-

PUPPET PLAYS OF THE
MUSHROOM THEATRE
IS COMING TO A. S. C.

The college community will prob-
ably soon have the opportunity of wit-
nessing something unique in the way
of plays. This is the puppet theatre
designed by Rosse, the Dutch artist,
for Alfred and Dorothy Kreymborg.
Alfred Kreymborg is one of the fore-
most figures of American poetry, and
is famous as the author of Trouba-
dour, This theatre is known as the
Mushroom Theatre and is equipped
with a galaxy of marionettes, a light-
ing system, props and all the para-
phernalia of a theatre in miniature.
Some of the puppets were carved by
Theodore Spicer-Simson, the English
sculptor, and others by Carrol French,

of Maurice Browne's Little Theatre
of Chicago.
The repertorie of the Mushroom

Players is entirely composed of the
plays and pantomines of Kreymborg
with musi¢ of his own composition
on the mandolute. Reviewers praise
his work very highly and _ speak
of him as the “Dickens of the new
theatre.” One review ends with the

hint that puppets, like people, are only
human!

Dr. Vance Gives
Series of Talks

Last week, Dr. James I. Vance, of
Nashville, brought here under the
auspices of the Y. W. C. A., which
every year brings an eminent minis-
ter, gave a series of talks in the
chapel. The subject of his first talk
was the “Conquest of Fear,” which
he began by recommending Basil
King’s “Conquest of Fear,” and by
quoting from the Bible, “God hath
not given the spirit of fear.” (2nd
Timothy, 1), and “Let not your heart
be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
(John 14.)

“Fear is a curse,” Dr. Vance said.
“Tt puts us at a disadvantage, it
throws the nervous system out of
gear. Yet, man has always feared;
he has made fear a religion. Look at
the faces of idols—painted and carved
in a manner to inspire not love, but
fear. Man has tried for ages to pro-
pitiate gods whom he feared. And so
a race has been produced that walks
the earth with fear. We fear that
our fellowman is our enemy; we fear
for ourselves that we may give in to
influences that will down us.”

Dr. Vance then stated that the se-
cret of the conquest of fear is in the
Bible. It is effected by four steps.
The first is to take God for our fath-
er. Cease to fear Him. “It is I, be
not afraid.” He went on to the sec-
ond step, which he said was to have
the right attitude toward life. Victor
Hugo said that nature, society and re-
ligion were the enemies of man. Dr.
Vance proved conclusively that they
are only when we walk in fear. To
find a proper objective for life is the
third step. We place health first, and
live in fear that the ravages of flu, or
some other disease will take it from
us; we place wealth first and regard

loss of money as a terrible calamity; |

or we place happiness first, and say,
“This is too good to last.” But these
are not our purpose in life: “our
great objective is growth.” Dr.
Vance forcefully showed that nothing
should terrify us, for all that happens
has some purpose to make us grow.

“Then welcome each rebuff

That makes the smooth way rough.”

We should not fear death. Death
is as necessary for growth as life. The
last step in conquering fear is to re-
ceive what Christ brought. Dr. Vance
said that he used to think that Christ
brought merely a kind of insurance
policy against fire in the hereafter.
But he brought us something more
than that; namely, life, peace, and
love, with which we can be happy in
this life as well as in the next. Christ
is the great physician, because He can
heal the soul tortured with fear. He
concluded the fourth point with a
story of a Scotchman who was de-
livered from fear on his deathbed.

“So we see,” Dr. Vance brought his
talk to an end, “that the things that
would make us afraid are but shad-
ows. And so God would have us walk
the world unafraid.”

The subject of Dr. Vance’s inspir-
ing talk in Chapel Wednesday morn-
ing was, “The Cure for Worry.” He
chose for the scripture lesson a pas-
sage from chapter 4 of Paul’s Epistle
to the Philippians.

“Worry,” he said, “is worse than
indiscretion. It is a downright sin.”
The very worst things in life never
happen, but are imagined. We are
not to accept the idea that “sufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof,” but
are continually imagining disasters
for the future. If religion secures
joy and freedom from worry it is
worth while. And religion can cure
worry. The lesson for the happy life
is contained in that verse which says,
“Be careful for nothing.” In other
words, do not be anxious—do not
worry:

The program of the happy life con-
sists of three parts. First, prayer—
attention to our own troubles. Some
have the idea that certain things are
too small to be taken to God, but
the Bible tells us “In everything, by
prayer and supplication with thanks-

George Washington's Birthday Scene
of Gaiety in the Dining Rooms

Powdered wigs and rustling silks,
subdued lights and courteous speech
—lo, and behold! Agnes Scott has
been metamorphosed inio a veritable
old-fashioned setting. Like a cocoon
the college became a beautiful butter-
fly, destined to a life ofa few hours.

The Rebekah Scott dining room
was appropriately and uhiquely decor-
ated with our national colors, and on
the tables were place curds with pa-
triotie insignias. In fhe center of
the tables were diminutive cherry
trees.

All of the seniors were those who
were signally honored. On the night
of nights the seniors sat at one long
table all the way across the dining
room, and the other students were at
tables arranged around this central
one. The seniors also had the privi-
lege of dressing as thei) grand-moth-
ers, and grand-fathers (several gen-
erations ago) did in the days of yore.
The third and greatest privilege was
this—they were all the guests of our
first President and first Lady, George
and Martha Washingtcn. Whenever
the President entertained it was a
gala-event at the White House. Be-
sides all of the personal friends of the
President, great persohages such as
Betsy Ross, Lafayette, Daniel Boone,
Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and
Benjamin Franklin were among those
present.

Although it was a viry formal oc-
casion, honoring the President’s birth-
day, it was nevertheless thoroughly
enjoyed and some very delightful
speeches were made by those called
upon by the President,

After dinner the guests retired to
the ball-room (the gymnasium was
not a poor substitute), and partici-

pated-in-e-gracefal Katiust —-

Those representing the most im-
portant characters were:

George Washington — Catherine
Graeber; Martha Washington—Eloise
Harris; Lafayette—Frances Cooper;
Thomas Jefferson—Virginia Brown-
ing; Betsy Ross—Grace Boone; Ben-
jamin Franklin—Helen C. Martin;
Daniel Boone—Louisa Duls; Partick
Henry—Olivia Swann.

This celebration on the twenty-
second of February has become tra-
ditional at Agnes Scott, and every
year its founder is remembered in this
unique way.

The twenty-second of Febraury has
a double meaning for us at Agnes
Scott; it marks the birthday of our

great countryman, George Washing-
ton, and of our founder, George
Washington Scott. It also marked a
very gala occasion in the dining
room at dinner time. The Seniors in
White House, seated at a large table
in the center, assumed the dignity of
colonial days, and represented some
of our foremost patriots, as follows:

George Washington—Sarah Slaugh-
ter; Martha Washintgon—Evelyn
Sprinkle; Thomas Jefferson—Sterling
Johnston: Betsy Ross—Rosalie Woot-
en; Lafayette—Isabel Clark; Daniel
Boone — Ruth Liggin; Benjamin
Franklin—Hazel Huff; Patrick Henry
—Margaret Whittington.

George Washington, acting as
toastmaster, introduced the speakers
in a welcoming address; the toasts
were made, and followed by the sing-
ing of a character jingle to each one
by the Sophomores—

“Washington crossed the Delaware,

And the wind blew thru his hair;

At Valley Forge he was full of

cheer,

And good old beer!—Yum! yum!”

“Martha, George’s own dear wife,
Led a very happy life,
And she won the General’s heart
Right from the start!”

“Jefferson was a democrat,
And he had a high silk hat,

And he wore that hat to France
With ‘plus-four’ pants.”

“Miss Betsy Ross made the flag
Out of scraps from her bag,

And it pleased the general so,
As we all know.”

“Lafayette, we have heard,
- Dhot-yoarare-a-gayol? -bicd:
Bet you do the Charleston, too,
You know you do!”

“Daniel Boone, with a coon-skin
coat,

Surely was a red-hot sport,

And he often Indians slew,

And scalped them, too!”

“Benjamin Franklin was so broke
And buns he’d almost choke,

But those buns got him a wife
For all his life.”

“Patrick Henry had lots of pep,

And on a speech he made his ‘rep,’

‘Give me liberty, or give me death!’
That's what he said.”

Founder’s Day

Again the calendar has just read
February 22nd, a date connected in
childhood with American flags, school
programs on patriotism, and red pa-
per hatchets and cherries.

Now, it means to Agnes Scott girls
—a holiday—no classes, The reason
for that holiday is not, however, the
fact that it is the birthday of “the
Father of Our Country,” but rather
that thereon was born the Father of
Our College, Col. George Washington
Scott. It is in his honor that we put
aside all work and don our loviiest
evening gowns for dinner. Most of
us are, it must be confessed, almost as
grateful to the Colonel for the holiday
and the feast as for those $175,000
of foundation money.

Col. George W. Scott, son of John
and Agnes Irvine Scott, was a north-
ern man, having been born in Alex-
andria, Pennsylvania, in 1829. How-
ever, he came South for his health
when he was quite a young man, and
from that time forward was a very
loyal Southerner. He visited Atlanta
first, going thence to Quincey, Fla.,
and settling finally in Savannah, Ga.

The yellow fever epidemic there in
1876 caused him to move to Atlanta,
and, in the next year, to Decatur.
Here he remained until his death,
twenty-six years later.

His title of Colonel was won by
his valiant service in the Revolution-
ary war, as he was for quite a while,

Lieutenant-General of the famous
“Secott’s Calvary.” His prominence
as a Democrat later caused his being
put up as candidate for governor of
Florida, but he was defeated by the
negro control of the polls during the
reconstruction period.

Not only was Col. Scott a very pub-
lic-spirited man, but he was a saga-
cious business man, an admirable
philanthropist, and a sincere Christ-
ian. Although misfortune caused him
to suffer financial reverses in Sayan-
nah, he quickly built up in Atlanta a
very successful manufacturing and
mining coneern, It is interesting to
note that he was one of the first Flor-
ida investors, prospecting heavily and
successfully in Florida phosphate
mines.

With the fortune thus acquired he
built and endowed the original Agnes
Scott Institute, giving, as has been
mentioned, $175,000 toward the new
institution. The $82,000 Agnes Scott
Hall, modeled after Northern schools,
was considered very fine for the times.

He did all this in behalf of the fos-
tering of Christian education, being
an ardent Presbyterian. Indeed, he
said that the school was a gift to the
Presbyterian denominantion.

It is to this man, then, that we are
indebted for our Alma Mater, and it
is in his memory that we celebrate
Founder’s Day, the twenty-second of
February.

International
Realtions Club
Organized

At the meeting of the Current His-
tory Class on last Wednesday, offi-
cers for the International Relations
Club were elected for the year. The
officers are: President, Grace Au-
gusta Ogden; Vice-President, Evalyn
Powell; Sec’y-Treas., Janet MacDon-
ald. |

At the business meeting which fol-
lowed, Ellen Douglass Leyburn and
Janet MacDonald were elected dele-
gates to the Southern Students Confer-
ence on International Relations which
meets at Brenau, February 25-27.
Janet MacDonald will not be able to
attend because of preparation for the
debate, and the president will take
her place. An unutually interesting
and educative program has been
planned for the Conference and there
will be many well known speakers
present to discuss the questions. Gen.
Tasker H. Bliss, member of the Amer-
ican delegation to thé Versailles Peace
Conference will discuss the Locarno
Pacts; Prof. William E. Dodd, of the
University of Chicazo will speak on
the accomplishments of the League of
Nations; and Prof. Phillip K. Hitti,
of the University of Beirut will ex-
plain the very impoxzance of the ever-
disturbing Near-Hastern question.

The Current History Class which
meets every og at nine
o’elock, welcomes every visitor. Any
student who does 1>t regularly pass
up the newspaper rick in the library,
and who has even «@ slight interest in
world events is urged to attend, and

Blackfriars Plays
Very Successful

One of the greatest events in this
year’s history of Agnes Scott was the
presentation by Blackfriars Saturday
night of plays written by the students
of Miss Stephen's Play-Writing Class.
It is to be hoped that the increased
attention given to folk-lore in this
class will stimulate in a great way
the rich folk-lore drama of the South.
The presentation was altogether wor-
thy of Blackfriars and raised
standard of characterization. Mary
Freeman, as the old woman obsessed
by the sea, was especially good in this
part entirely different from anything
she had done before. Sarah White
and Caroline McKinney ably enacted
the roles of the children in “Values.”

The first play, “The Charm of the
Hawthorne,” by Elizabeth McCallie,
27, is a beautiful little fantasy. The
plot centers about the supersitious
daughter of a gardener on an old Vir-
ginia estate, who believed that the
first man you saw after washing your
face in hawthorne blossoms was the
one you were to marry. One early
May morning, she was washing her
face in the sweet hawthorne, when
looking up she saw a beautiful prince
before her!

Mary Freeman and Martha Crowe
gave excellent interpretations of their
roles as Susan and Katie.

The next play, “The Darned Dress,”

its

watch the dryness being taken out of
the newspapers.
After the conference, Gen. Bliss

will come down to Agnes Scott and

i sneak on, March. he on either the

League of Nations or the Locarno
Pacts. This is an unusually fine op-
portunity to hear the European sit-
uation discussed by a competent au-
thority.

Y. W. C. A. News

The chief interest of the Y. W. C.
A. this past week was the coming of
Dr. Vance. On Thursday afternoon
in the Alumnae House the members
of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet were host-
esses at a tea in his honor. The
heads of the various organizations on
the campus, the four class presidents,
Mary Hedrick, who is Dr. Vance's
niece, and the faculty advisers of the
Y. W. C. A., were invited to be pres-
ent.

Dr. Vance was helpful not only in
the splendid talks given at the
Chapel hour each day, but also in pri-;
vate conferences. Students were giv-
en opportunity of personal interviews
with Dr, Vance and also the privilege
of having discussed any problems
puzzling them. A box was placed in
Main Hall for the reception of these
questions, and they were discussed in
an informal and instructive manner
Friday afternoon from five until six
o’clock. New light was thrown on
many points of intriguing interest.

At the Y. W. service Sunday eve-
ning, Lib Norfleet made an effec-
tive talk on Honor, especially in its
direct application to our college com-
munity.

VIRGINIA CLUB MEETS

The Virginia Club of Agnes Scott
held its regular monthly meeting in
the Cabinet Room on Thursday eve-

by Margaret Bland, was a tragedy of
the mountains of Western North Car-
olina, Elizabeth McCallie was Texie,
a little mountain girl who had worn
darned brown dresses ail “her life,
yet who yearned for a dress “blowy
and fiyey, like clouds at sunset, and
pink, like laurel.” One day a sum-

jmer visitor gave her a dress in re-

turn for some azalea, but the dress,
instead of a beautiful light pink dress,
was a darned brown one such as she
had worn all her life.

Probably the most powerful play of
all was “Aunt Teenie,” by Grace
Augusta Ogden. This is the story of
a crazed old woman obsessed by the
sea. Through this obsession she com-
pels her niece, (Edythe Carpenter took
admirably the role of Fannie, the
niece) to renounce all hope of ad-
vancement in the world and keeps
back information that would enable
her to make a success of her life.
Mary Freeman gave an excellent in-
terpretation of the diabolical old
woman,

The last play, “Values,” by Polly
Stone, is the story of some grown-up
children who think they have out-
grown their mother, yet who are tied
to her. They are very discontented
with their lot, until news comes that
the mother has been killed in an acci-
dent. Then they realize their deep
love for their mother, and are made
quite happy when she later walks in
and informs them that it was a mis-
take. Then they cannot do enough
for her. The two daughters, Sarah
White and Caroline McKinney, gave
good interpetations of their parts.

eight Virginia girls at College, with

the “high school girls back home,”
telling why Virginia girls come to

EDITORIAL

THE TWENTY-SECOND OF FEBRUARY

To people throughout the entire United States, the twenty-
second of February stands out as a red-letter day. To most of
them it means a holiday or at least a half-day off from the reg-
ular routine of work. And the smallest child can tell why this
day is set aside from the rest: it is the birthday of George Wash-
ington. Here, on the Agnes Scott campus, the twenty-second is
observed, partly in honor of the ‘‘father of our county,” but more
because this day is also the birthday of the founder of our college,
namely, George Washington Scott.

It is to be deplored that more thought is not given to the
cause of the holiday rather than the holiday itself, Everyone can,
without doubt, tell you that the twenty-second of February is the
birthday of George Washington and that he is the man who cut
down the cherry tree and then wouldn’t tell a lie about it. When
asked, too, about what he did for our country, they will say that
he led our forces in the American Revolution and was the first
president of the United States. All true, and yet, another side of
the man is being revealed, the side that shows him as human, and
not as a demi-god, who never told a lie and who was always leader
in everything that was being done at that time for this country
of ours. In a recent article, Mr. Rupert Hughes has told some
facts about George Washington which would lead to the destruc-
tion of the statesman as a hero. Mr. Hughes has been assailed
by many people for this article; in the magazine section of the
Atlanta Constitution, for February, 7th, he replied to these at-
tacks by saying that Washington was a’ man of his time and be-
haved himself as such; therefore, that he had his “toddy” and his
good times just as any other man would. This, Mr. Hughes goes
on to say should not make us respect the man less, and it will not;
it will merely tear down our idea of a perfect man, and build up
in its stead one of a human man, endowed with very great gifts.
This seems to us a very good revision of our ideas,

If the twenty-second of February calls up thoughts of George
Washington, the internationally known character, here on the
Agnes Scott campus, it calls up a memory that is nearer home, for
we celebrate the birthday of George Washington Scott, the
founder of this college and call the day “Founder’s Day.” The
custom of converting dinner on that night into an old-fashioned
one with historical characters of 1776 as guests, has grown up
with the college. This year, however, an attempt has been made
to extend the celebration of Founder’s Day to places all over the
country where Agnes Scott graduates are located. In this way,
if the plan is continued in the future, and it is to be hoped that
this will be possible, the twenty-second of February will come to
mean more and more to Agnes Scott girls; the true meaning of the
holiday will be brought home to them, and will remain. February
the twenty-second will come to stand out in the hearts and minds
of all of them as something beautiful and not just a holiday.

ful tea dance Wednesday afternoon,
Feb. 17th, in the new gymn. Deli-

Men were not lacking—a number of

line attire. A Victrola, Mildred Mor-
row, and Eloise Harris furnished mu-
sic for the dancing.

ber of the visitors to the Exposition

Dr. Vance Gives

Series of Talks

(Continued from First Page)

giving, let your requests be known
unto God.” This verse embodies all
three parts of the program—prayer
for our own troubles, supplication—
attention to the troubles of others and
thanksgiving for our manifold bless-
ings.

And the promise is peace — peace
not conditional happiness. “And the
peace of God which passeth all under-
standing shall keep your hearts and
minds through Christ Jesus.”

On Thursday morning the subject
of Dr. Vance’s chapel talk was “Vic-
tory.” In this address he continued
the interesting and inspiring talks
which he has been giving since Tues-
day.

“Have you gotten Victory?” This
was the question that he asked. Have
you conquered your temper, your
habits, any defects in your physical
body, the circumstances of your life?
Do you find in a hindrance not a dis-
eouragement but an incentive to
greater effort which will lead to fu-
ture success?

What is the secret of Victory? Dr.
Vance emphasized that only thru
faith can we be really victorious. Lack
of faith is the reason that more peo-

| ple do not have Victory, and we have

faith when we cease to contend
against God. Faith does not mean
the effacement of our own personality,
but the acquisition of the power of
God. This is real Victory.

Dr. Vance’s talk Friday morning
was on the “Secret of Power,” and his
scripture reference was Christ’s esti-
mate of prayer in the Sermon on the
Mount. He pointed out that the
source of power is God’s Holy Spirit
and that its secret is prayer.

As an illustration of this, he re-
minded us of the broad and successful
life of David and his own explanation
of it. “I give myself to Prayer;”
and Dr. Vance said that David’s was
the true doctrine of prayer.

Then he took up three facts about
prayer. First, prayer is more than
a performance; it is an incarnation—
Just reciting a prayer gets us no-
where. Prayer is not for the pur-
pose of giving God information, and
so, if our prayer, which is for us,
makes no impression on us, how can
it make an impression on God? Sec-
ond, prayer is the highest function of
finite personality, and personality is
the noblest thing God ever did. Man
alone of God‘s creation is capable of
communion with God, and man is
built so that prayer not only is pos-
sible, but is essenial. The third fact
Dr. Vance pointed out about prayer
it that it is the noblest ministry of
personality. The only thing God
really promised us is Power, and, in
spite of the material gains that we
may or may not have obtained, the
size of a human life is the size of its
power. And the secret of this power
is communion with the infinite.

Dr. Vance concluded with a few
words on the value of prayer, and

says that its value is not measured
by what we can drag out of God.
Prayer is not a wrestling with God,
but is laying hold of His willingness.
And “the answer to prayer is the fact
of prayer,” says Dr. Vance.

Both of them were full of thrills—
some of which were enough to make
a frizzled chicken’s feathers stand on

though, due to the fact that a jinx
seemed to have taken the whole team
by storm, on each of the two after-
noons when they performed for the
“ladies and gentlemen.” The umpires
were Mr, Cunningham and Mr. Johns-

Books Recommended) STEPHEN HOPKINS, RHODE ISLAND. $335,000 to be Spent

by Current Magazines
Social News

With so many new books “just off
the press,” one often wonders what is
worth while reading and what is not.
The current magazines are a help in
the selection of just what books to
read in the rare moments when we
have time—or take time—for a “booke
and a shadie nooke.” Practically all
the current magazines contain very

good reviews of the latest books.

“The Constant Nymph,” by Marga-
ret Kennedy, (Doubleday, Page) ;
“The Perrenial Bachelor,” by Anne
Parish, (Harper); “Drums,” by James
Boyd, (Seribner); “Soundings,” by
A. Hamilton Gibbs, (Little, Brown) ;
seem to be the most popular of the
modern books, and are recommended
by almost all the magazines of the
month. “The Glorious Apollo,” by E.
Barrington, (Dodd Meade) and “The
Professor’s House,” by Willa Cather
(Knopt), are close seconds. Books
especially mentioned by “The Virginia
Quarterly Review,” January, 1925,
are as follows:

“Porgy,” by DuBose
(Geo. Duran Company).

“Said the Fisherman,”
duke Pickthall, (Knopf).

“The Tale of the Genji,” by Lady
Muraski, (Houghton Mifflin).

“The Outcast,” by Luigi Pirandello,
(BE. P. Dutton).

‘“Krakatit,” by Karel Capek, (The
MacMillan Company).

“Firecrackers,” by Carl Van Vech-
ten, (Knopf).

“The Perrenial Bachelor,” by Anne
Parish, (Harper).

“The Glorious Apollo,” by E. Bar-
rington, (Dodd Meade).

“The Bookman” is perhaps the most
reliable of the current magazines in
its recommendations of recent books.
“The Bookman’s Monthly Score”’—at
the end of a number of pages of excel-
lent reviews—gives a summary of the
best modern literature of the month:

Fiction.

“The Perrenial Bachelor,”

Stratton Porter, (Doubleday).

and international law.

Many a man’s place in history is
founded upon a sentence in which he
struck the current nail on the head.
“Don’t fire until you see the whites
of their eyes,’ “Give me liberty or
give me death,” and, “I have not yet

begun to fight,” have proved the
touchstones of undying fame for their
authors.

Among the signers of the Declara-
tion of Independence, the one hundred
and fiftieth anniversary of which will
be commemorated by the Sesqui-Cen-
tennial International Exposition in
Philadelphia this year, was Stephen
Hopkins, of Rhode Island, whose re-
mark upon appending his signature
to the historic document deserves
more fame than it has won.

“Sir, your hand trembles,” chal-
lenged a bystander, as Hopkins, with
unsteady hand, took up the pen to
sign the Declaration.

“True, sir, but my heart does not,”
was the reply.

He was nearly seventy years of
age, but his answer made no apology
for physical disability. That his spir-
it was indomitable in spite of ob-
stacles is evidenced in the accounts of
his life.

He was self-taught, but in’

time came to be Chancellor of Brown
University. He was bred a farmer,
but served as Governor of Rhode Is-
land for a number of terms.

He did not find public life incom-
patible with study. He left the farm
to engage in mercantile business and
surveying, the first steps in a career
which was to lead him into Colonial
prominence.

Being advanced in years during the
stirring times of 1775-76, he was able
to give to the affairs of the Colonies
the accumulated wisdom of a man
who has passed through strenuous
political history. He was a clear and
convineing speaker, and used his in-
fluence in favor of decisive measures.
He was a member of the committee
which drafted the Articles of Confed-
eration.

Hopkin’s first public office was that
of Justice of the Peace. He later was
a member of the Rhode Island Legis-
lature, Speaker of the Assembly,
Chief Justice of the Court of Com-
mon Pleas, Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court, a delegate to the Co-
lonial Convention at Albany in 1754,
one of the committee which drew up
a plan of union, and, finally, a mem-
ber of the First Continental Congress.

Intercollegiate News

Colleges are more and more giving
students opportunities to make prac-
tical use of their courses. Converse
has perfected a plan which tests the
producing ability of members of the
Dramatic class. The class has been
divided into groups of two. Each
group will have full charge of the
production of a play, six to be pre-
sented in all. The student body will
furnish willing actors for these young

producers to work upon.

The Journalism class of the Univer-
sity of Florida is planning to take a
trip to Tallahassee, where they will
edit the Tallahassee Democrat. The
students will have entire charge of
each department and will also handle
the advertising of the paper for that
date. Trips to Orlando, Tampa and
Miami, are being considered for the
same purpose.

The “Cadet” carries a new and
most interesting column, “The Rem-
iniscences of General Edward West
Nichols.” It depicts life at V. M. I.
in the 70’s, contrasting it with the
present date, and giving colorful per-
sonal experiences of General Nichols.

Most Delightful

De Nchce wert differing ma-

there has never been a ques-

the fashions displayed at

artistic conception of what is
good and beautiful dominates
the policy of this Shop.

You may see here Dresses,
Suits, Coats and Hats that
you will not see at other
stores, but the correctness in
general ensemble is the key-
note of the display—so de-
lightful, that it wins admir-

And it will win you, too, more

son of prices is borne in
mind.

by Pennsylvania for
Exposition Building

Pennsylvania,s official building at
the Sesqui-Centennial Exposition will
be erected on the Exposition grounds
in the form of a hollow square, 300 by
300 feet, according to plans drawn up
by Ralph E. Bencker, Philadelphia
architect. Of the $750,000 appro-
priated by the 1925 Legislature for
participation in the Exposition, $335,-
000 will be expended for the struc-
ture.

The plans
building were definitely settled at a
recent conference of executives of va-
rious State departments held in the
office of Governor Pinchot. The de-
tails will be worked out by a commit-
tee headed by Major Robert Y. Stu-
art, Secretary of Farests and Waters,
who succeeds Paul P. Cret as chair-
man of the State committee.

The architectural plans call for the
construction of a pool within the court
of the building and a colonade at the
front which will face the main thor-
oughfare of the Exposition. Within
the building the various activities of

the State departments will be shown
in historical development.

The committee in charge of State
representation includes Dr. Clyde L.
King, Secretary of the Common-
wealth; Dr, Ellen C. Potter, Secre-
tary of Welfare; Dr. Francis B, Haas,
Superintendent of Public Instruction;
and R. H. Landsburgh, Secretary of
Labor and Industry.

Giddie Gossip
Dearest Giddie:

After hours of struggling vainly
with term papers and days (seeming-
ly) of explaining to Miss Hopkins
why I just had to talk through the in-
firmary window to my room-mate
who had flu, a holiday was more wel-
come than a cut in chemistry on Sat-
urday. Everyone fled from school
like it was on fire and the Atlanta
shows did such a rushing business
that I am surprised they don’t pay
the college to have holidays and in-
crease the trade.

Macon was one of the popular
places Agnes Scott refugees.
Wesleyan received the toil-worn Mary
Smith and Mary Prim, and ’Berta
Knight and Lena Slemp found relief
from the responsibilities of college in
a visit to Louise Geeslin, there.

Evelyn Josephs and Sarah Robin-
son reported a grand time in Char-
lotte. They have decided to retire
from the sandwich business and prom-
ise no more competition for Harper’s
hot-dog stand.

Giddie, these freshmen are enough
to drive a self-respecting Sophomore,
who has done all in her power to im-
press on them the extent of their ig-
norance, to drink. We were begin-

ning to be awfully encouraged when
one of Miss Jackson’s most hopeful
freshmen—was it Julia Eve?—ex-
plained the papal bull as, “the cow
kept in the Vatican to supply the
pope’s children with milk.” I see that
we still have a great deal to teach
them.

Warming Up.

Seranton, Pa., Feb. 16——The Tri-
District Convention of United Mine
Workers of America ratified the ten-
tative agreement made last Friday
between the members of the Joint
Committee of Operators and Miners.
This agreement brings to an end the
longest and most costly anthracite
strike in the history of the country,

and one of the most acute labor situa-
tions in the history of the organiza-
tions. The mines reopened at mid-

night on February 17.

Resignment of Fliers

Lieut. Leigh Wade, one of the mem-
bers of the round the world fiying
crew has announced his resignation
from the service. He states that he
intends to take part in a polar flight
next summer. At the same time
Lieut, H. H. Ogden handed in his pa-
pers. Rumor has been current for
several weeks that these two fliers in-
tended to join Gen. Mitchell in his
campaign for the unification of the
air forces. Lieut. Wade denied any
such intention on his part but stated
his sympathy with the Mitchell move-
ment.

The expidition of which Lieut, Wade
is to be a part will be the University
Expedition sponsored by Harvard,
Yale, Darmouth, Princeton, Pennsyl-
vania and Amherst.

Vive La France

Cannes.—Suzanne Lenglen retained
her tennis crown by defeating Helen
Wills, the American champion in
straight sets, 6-3, 8-6. The brand of
tennis which Lenglen displayed was
decidedly inferior and Miss Wills’
splendid efforts made her hard put to
win. The latter is undoubtedly the
coming champion and no one seems to
realize it better than Suzanne. Un-
fortunately the match was marred by
one of those too-frequent demonstra-
tions of Suzanne’s lack of sportsman-
ship. She gave only very grudging
praise to her plucky little antagonist.

Rockefeller Gift.

Cairo, Feb. 15.—The gift of John
D. Rockefeller, Jr., of $10,000,000,
was announced here today. Accord-
ing to Prof. J. H. Breasted, leading
archaeologist, the gift is for a new
museum and archaeological institute
at Cairo. It is the largest in history,
and is one of the many Rockefeller
benefactions for science and art.

When Do We Eat?

The United States Government has
entered suit against the National
Food Company, under the anti-trust
law. At the same time she is pros-
ecuting the Ward Products Corpora-
tion for the same offense. The lat-
ter company is said to be worth
$2,000,000,000. The former was at-
tempting to gain control thru a mer-
ger of the chain groceries, milk dis-
tributors and ice cream manufacturers

it owns in other companies sufficient
stock to control $160,000,000.

Committee Meeting Hears
Program Outlined—Edu-
cators Pass Resolution.

A group of men and women, prom-
educational work the
country attended the meeting of the
Hducational Committee of the Ses-
quicentennial International Exposi-
tion at the Exposition headquarters
December 11, and by advice and ex-
change of opinion helped shape the
educational program of the Sesqui-
centennial so that it will stand out
as one of the most comprehensive of

inent in in

its kind ever set before public and
educators alike.

Progress of exhibits was reported
on, both domestic and foreign, and
methods of presentation were discuss-
ed. The whole educational program
was outlined by A. L. Sutton, Director
of Domestic Participation, and Joseph
R. Wilson, Director of Education and
Social Economy for the Exposition.
At the close of the meeting the fol-
lowing resolution was passed:

“Resolved, that the Educational
Committee of the Sesquicentennial
International Exposition extend to
Mayor Kendrick its deep appreciation
of his interest and sympathy in con-
nection with the plans of the Depart-
ment and express to him the hope
that it may have his continued co-op-
eration.”

Those present included Dr. Frank
H. Aydelotte, President of Swarth-
more College; Dr. Kenneth G. Mathe-
son, President of Drexel Institute; Dr.
Laura H. Carnell, Dean of Temple
University; Dr. Edwin ©. Broome,
Superintendent of Schools in Phila-
delphia; Dr. C. D. Koch, representing
Dr. Francis B. Haas, State Superin-
tendent of Education; William ‘R.

erintendent of the Philadelphia Paro-
chial Schools; William Rowen, Presi-
dent of the Philadelphia Board of
Education; Miss Jessie Gray, Presi-
dent of the State Educational Associa-
tion: Dr. A. Mortimer Sullivan, Presi-
dent of Villa Nova College; Dr. Clar-

the House. The House claims that
the country cannot afford such a cut.

Governmental Reform

A bill was recently introduced into
the House which aims to remedy one
of the most outstanding defects in the
American government. By the terms
of this bill cabinet members would be
seated in the legislative bodies, so
that they could answer questions, and
initiate or explain their policies. If
it can be put into practice, this change
would do much to expidite legislation.

Evelyn Kennedy had a mighty
pleasant surprise the other morning—
her mother came to see her.

This week it seems to be quite the
vogue to teach school in Decatur. Al-
most everyday someone is absent from
elass and the teacher finds out that
her pupil has gone to teach Latin in
the Decatur high school. Virginia
Grimes, Susan Clayton, and Frances
Buchanan are the lucky ones so far.

There was a Phi Beta Kappa party
in the Tea-Room Tuesday night for
Grace Augusta Ogden. Little keys
were used for place-cards. Those
present were, Frances Buchanan,
Elizabeth Gregory, Catherine Mock,
Louise Bennett, Helen Clarke Martin,
Margaret Martin, and Ellen Fain.

Wednesday was Grace Boone’s
birthday. She got heaps of nice
things—a big box, specials, packages,
and all that. We all wish her many
happy returns.

tained Dr. Vance with an informal
tea at the Tea Room Thursday after-
noon. About forty students were in-
vited.

Mrs. J. S. Cothran, a graduate of

Day Student News

If all our weeks were as eventful
as the last has been, no one would
have the courage to lament over the
fact that school is monotonous. For,
with such exciting occurances as Phi
Beta Kappa announcements, the com-
ing and going of Valentines and the
prospect of our holiday on the twenty-
second, nothing could be more de-
licious! We are absolutely unable to
express the depth of our thrill over
the honors that Juanita Greer, Isa-
belle Clark and Margaret Whittington
have heaped upon themselves and us.
May they be only the first of many
who will achieve such an honor!

And speaking of honors (quite an-
other sort, T’ll admit, but “honors”
nevertheless). Listen while I recall
some of the Monday morning conver-
sations which took place at the usual
gossip hour.—‘Did your Valentine
special arrive on time?”—“No, I got
three, not four boxes of candy.”—“*My
dear, I wore my corsage to church
Sunday, and Jack was furious!”

In addition to these comments, were
the glowing reports of Susan Clay-
ton’s Valentine masquerade. from
what I heard it was truly a party of
“hearts,” and the fourtunate partici-
pants were, Ruth Casey, Mlizabeth
McCallie, Frances Chambers, Kivelyn
Albright, Lamar Lowe, Louise Bans-
ley, Martha Crowe, Just ask any of
these girls about the excitement.

And excitement is What Jack
Spratt lives on, we’ve decided. kight
now, she is getting over all her dis-
sipation of last week. ‘I’hink of any-
one who rates a wedding one night,
and a dance the next. Jack aided
one of her friends change her name
from Miss to Mrs. Beware, though,
Jack, this is your second offense.
And three times you know, is fatal.
And on the very next night, she,
Beau Skeen and Sarah White, Mary
Ausley and Julia Napier went to
Druid Hills to help make the Sigma
Pi dance a success. From al! ft hear,
they achieved their purpose.

oughly enjoyed the gala occasion Fri-

Results of World
Court Campaign

The World Court campaign proper
has passed into the realm of history.
It would truly take a good sized piece
of historical investigation to. ascertain
the results achieved.

We would not have time here to
record the many by-products of the
campaign, but there were two great
developments which might be listed
as such, though in importance they
should be rated along with any phase
of the campaign itself.

1. The National Student World
Court poll was the most successful
poll of student. opinion that has ever
been taken. One hundred and thirty
thousand students in 333 different
institutions voted. Whereas the stu-
dents voted five to one in favor of the
United States entering the World
Court, the ballot was no landslide and
the variety of opinion and the varying
vote in different colleges and parts of
the country showed that students were
thinking and did have very definite
opinions.

2. The National Collegiate World
Court Conference at Princeton was
perhaps the first truly national stu-
dent conference. The World Court
Committee had nothing to do with it,
nor did any advisory committee of
faculty or other “elder statesmen.”
All of the arrangements were made
by student committees. The dele-
gates were students elected by stu-
dents. Practically all of the confer-
student

(b) Stone;

ence was given over to
discussion and finally the first
great move toward a National

Students’ Federation was made. One
of the articles of this Federation is:
“That student opinion shall be the
final determining factor in sending
delegates to meetings of, or in any
way controlling the organization of,
the Federation.”

The three purposes of the Federa-
tion are:

1. To achieve a spirit of unity

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY. MARCH 3, 1926

The Classical Club held a delightful
and interesting meeting on Thursday
night in the Propylean Hall. Miss
Sarah Shields, the President, brought
up the business and plans for a ban-
quet to be held soon were discussed.
Then the meeting was turned over to
Miss Frances Buch:nan., She intro-
duced the speakers of the evening,
who were Miss Julia McLendon, Miss
Mary Bell McConkey and Miss Aileen
Ramage. They brouyht to light many
interesting facets concerning old man-
uscripts, parchment, and papyrus, and
the men who were famous in Roman
literature. Mary Bel MeConkey said
that Roman writers were divided into
two classes—those who wrote for
pleasure and those \vho earned their
bread by their efforts. Miss Julia Mc-
Lendon explained th:t previous to the
discovery of papyrts and parchment,
the ancients used le«ves, skins, rocks
and anything availe<le. She also re-
lated a charming kzend of how the
use of parchment was discovered,
proving that indeed ‘necessity is the
mother of invention.” Miss Ramage
told about the librafies of Europe and
the interesting man iscripts that they
possessed. After tiese talks Miss
Stansfield and Miss’ Porrance showed
facsimiles of old me useripts and ex-
plained all the fects about them.
Needless to say, al! of the members
of the Classical Club are eagerly
awaiting other meet? ge

International Relations
Conference He ¢ at Brenau

The International ‘clations Club of
Agnes Seott College sent as delegates
to the annual conv ction which was
held at Brenau Ce'sge, Gainesville,
Ga., February 25-28, Miss Grace “Au-
gusta Ogden and M4: llen Dovelas
Leyburn. The delegates were very
delightfully entertained. On Thurs-
day afternoon there was a tea and
Friday night a banquet..

Each year problems of international
interest and importance are discussed.
This year the subject was world peace
and the World Court. The League of
Nations and Locarno Treaties were
discussed.

States to give consideration to ques-
tions affecting student interest.

2. To develop intelligent student
opinion on questions of national im-
portance.

3. To foster understanding among
the students of the world in the fur-
therance of an enduring world peace.

Judging from reports received at
National Headquarters from individ-
ual colleges and student World Court
committees all over the country, the
students of America seem anxious to
keep up their interest in national and
international issues. They seem to
feel that there is a real need for
thinking through problems that are
bigger than the usual campus ones,
They welcomed the World Court cam-
paign as giving them the opportunity
of taking the first step in the new
responsibility which students are as-
suming.

This was clearly shown by an edi-
torial in the University of Washing-
ton Daily entitled “Why Stop With
the World Court?” which suggested
that ten hours of current events be a
graduation requirement in every
school and college of the University.
The delegates at the Amherst confer-
ence called upon their student bodies
to suggest that the entire student
body of America urge Congress to ap-
propriate at least as much money as
is now being spent on the R. O. T. C.
for exchange scholarships between
students of other countries and the
students of the United States.

The report from Wilson College
(Chambersburg, Pa.), in speaking of
the National Student Poll, says:

“We know that at Wilson College it
has made us realize that there is
something outside the campus and we
are hoping that after the debate on
the World Court in the Senate, the
enthusiasm will not die down.”

Able To Speak

Agnes Scott regrets very much the
inability of General T. H. Bliss to
speak here Monday night, March 1,
as he had intended.

The cancellation
of the engagement was made neces-
sary by the illness of his wife. The
noted general was to be brought here
by the International Relations Club of
the college through the cooperation of
the Carnegie Foundation for Interna-

tional Peace. This organization has

always provided able and noted speak-
ers, but General Bliss is the most

distinguished speaker who has been
scheduled for Agnes Scott dur-
ing recent years. During the World
War General Bliss was Chief of
Staff; later, was appointed mem-
ber of the Supreme War Coun-
cil in Paris, of which Marshal Foch
was the head. In 1918 General Bliss
was selected by Wilson as one of the
peace commissioners, the other four
being President Wilson himself,
House, Lansing, and White. Since
the war, General Bliss has devoted
much of his time to promoting the
spirit of international cooperation in
America. Many of his writings have
appeared in current magazines.

General Bliss was to speak Monday
night on “Recent Progress in World
Cooperation and Disarmament.” There
are two ways to settle world problems
—war and cooperation. America must
join_in some plan for world coopera-
tion. General Bliss believes in dis-
armament with cooperation. He is an
advocate of the World Court and the
League of Nations. The whole prob-
lem of improved relations among
states grows out of the contributory
causes and motives that tend to war.
Private war has been slopped and
states have been civilized. ‘“‘Why is
it so difficult for men to understand
that without similar checks (as have
been put on private war) between
states they are liable to recurrent out-
breaks of savagery that endanger the
civilization so carefully nurtured from
within? It would seem clear that
some reasonable check to the exercise
of the right of public war is just as
necessary for a binding system of in-
ternational law as the total surrender
of private war was for the upbuilding
of domestic law.” The League of
Nations was created to aid in the set-
tlement of world problems by peaceful
concerted action.

Bovine of Butter as
Dairy Ad at Sesqui

It will be neither a Holstein cow
nor a Guernsey cow, nor yet a Jersey
cow, that will be the cow of cows
at the dairy exhibit at the Sesqui-Cen-
tennial International Exposition, open-
ing in Philadelphia on June 1. It will
be a cow made of rich, sweet tasting
butter—a cow that boasts of weighing
a ton—and all that of butter. Years
ago, fifty to be exact, at the Centen-
nial Exposition in 1876, there was also
a butter-cow on exhibit, but as hand-
some as this cow? No. Not if the
plans now being considered by mem-
bers of the dairy industry are carried
out, who are contemplating this novel
method of advertising their product.

Members Elected
to Blackfriars

“Oh, I'm
proud of you,” and similar expres-

“Congratulati¢ 1s!” so

sions mixed wit! joyful screeches and
“bear hugs,” giseted our ears from
the direction of the mail room and
surrounding tervitory last Thursday
morning. Why all the excitement?
Oh, of course; Blackfriars had sent
out their “pass” slips.

The delayed® try-outs held
Wednesday nigtt, and were, yas a
whole, very good. Of the fifty-two
applicants to this. our dramatic organ-
ization, eight weve admitted. Five of
this number belong to the Freshman
class—

Marion Greene

Bettina Bush,

Augusta Robexts,

Mary D. Crawiord,

Sarah Carter,
and three to the Sophomore ranks—

Lillian LeCont,

Lillian White,

“Bee” Keith.

Virginia Sevier was accepted as a
nember-“on-rese*ve,” that is, her try-
out was accepted; but as the percent-
age of Junior members already ex-
ceeds the quota, she will only be ad-
mitted on the withdrawal of some
present member of that class from
the club.

Blackfriars formally welcomed the
new members by ai: initiation banquet
in the Alumnae House on Tuesday
evening. After the dinner the new
“pledges” proved th ‘ir sportsmanship
and worthiness by furnishing amuse-
ment for the pat.,, and by being in-
troduced to its “ ecret orders.”

Here’s our be=t wishes to the new
artists (amaterstbouch they hed!
May they faithfully maintain the rec-
ord set by the old members who will
soon be leaving.

Davidson Glee Club
Comes to Agnes Scott

were

“Music—melody—mirth” came _ to

Agnes Scott on February 27 in the
person of that renowned corps of
heart-breaking songsters—the David-
son Glee Club. The gymnasium audi-
torium was well filled, and the entire
audience was very appreciative. There
was reason to be, for the Davidson
Glee Club lived up to its promise of
furnishing music, melody, and mirth;
and in addition there was a spectacle
for the eyes in the way of manly
comeliness. Johnny Foster and the
other three of the quartette were their
usual melodious selves; the jazz or-
chestra made a tremendous hit. The
whole event was a success. May the
Davidson Glee Club come back soon
and often!

Seniors vs. Juniors

Play ball! Batter up! ,

The big series is sliding towards
home and soon the champion baseball
team of the school will be stepping
out. The Seniors seem to have a
wonderful chance to walk off with it,
and in view of this they stalked off
last week with the gory trophy of
beating the Juniors with the score of
32-24. The umpire for this game was
Mr. Cunningham, so that if anyone
ever dreamed of questioning the re-
sults—one wouldn’t.

Sophomores to Give
Mardi Gras

Perhaps you were startled to hear
loud sounds of merrymaking in the
halls Friday night. Perhaps you’ve
been wondering what all the excite-
ment has been in chapel and in the
hall of Main. The Sophomores are pre-
paring to entertain the college com-
munity (the Freshmen will no doubt
recommend them as to their ability to
entertain).

On Saturday evening, March 6, the
Sophomores will be hostesses for a
Mardi Gras to be given in the gym-
nasium. The king of the Mardi Gras,
Bee Keith has been chosen from the
Sophomore class (votes one-half cent
each), and keen electioneering went
on. The candidates were Mary Ri-
viere, with Louise Sydnor as mana-
ger; Margaret Rice, with Jack An-
derson as manager; Bee Keith, with
Adah Knight as manager; Della Stone,
with Sarah White as manager, and
Jack Anderson, “dark horse”.

The queen will be chosen by the
king, and they in turn will choose the
court, composed of two members from
each class. The lords of the court
will be dressed in Boy Blue suits, and
the ladies will appear as Dresden
Shepherdesses.

The program has been carefully
planned, and consists of the crowning
of the queen by the king, and an old-
fashioned dance by the court. Then
Mary Freeman will give a pantomime
dance, Lila Porcher and Nancy Crow-
ther are to do a Pierrot and Pierrette
dance in costume, and Edith Brown
and Georgia Watson will enact a Jap-
anese love-scene.

These acts will be interspersed with
dancing by the audience, accompanied
by a Jazz Band with Eleanor Bennett
at the piano. Everyone is to come
in costunie, anu prizes will be giver
for the most attractive ones. A Grand
March will be held and other features
are being planned.

During the evening girls dressed as
Southern mammies will sell Creole
pralines, sandwiches and punch. Soph-
omores are also selling masks and
confetti, and are doing everything in
their power to ensure the success of
the entertainment. Come to the Mardi
Gras and be merry!

Quenell Harold
Speaks in Chapel

Quenelle Harold of the class of °24,
now associated with the Georgia Col-
lege Placement Office, came out with
another worker from the same office
to speak to the student body Wednes-
day morning, February 24, about the
work that their office is doing for col-
lege students. She said that since the
office has been in existence 75 per cent
of the graduates from Georgia col-
leges have remained in the state to
work, whereas before its organization
there had been a general complaint of
their leaving the state. It is the con-
necting link between the business man
and the college student; and all we
have to do is to know what kind of
work we are interested in, and then
call in to see them, and a satisfactory
job is pretty sure to result. There is
no charge connected with the service,
because it is due to the generosity of
one of Georgia’s patriotic citizens, and
anyone interested in going into busi-
ness in Georgia is urged to go in town
and consult the Georgia College Place-
ment Office.

U.S. Gobs to Form Band

Navy Band being organized in Wash-

tion opening in Philadelphia on June
1. Besides the Philadelphia contin-
gent, its members will be enlisted
from the U. S. S. Texas, the U. S. S.
Arkansas, and other navy bands.

EDITORIAL

ELECTIONS

Nomination blanks for annual elections have already been
distributed; two weeks from last Monday, March 15th, elections
will be held. The election of girls to fill high offices in our college
world, is, of course, one of the most important events of the year,
and merits some little thought as to how we should go about it.

First of all, we, as voters, should prayerfully attempt to lay
aside all prejudice, which is only too often based on the slightest,
most unfair, trifles. Being open-minded, we next list in our minds
the qualities necessary for a girl filling the office about which we
are at present concerned. Her ability, her personality, her train-
ing, and her place of greatest service to the college, all must be
tonsidered. Then comes the actual choosing. It if dangerous to
make one’s choice without first glancing at a list in the latest cat-
alogue of the girls in those classes eligible for any given office.

_ Neglect to do so, often results in simple overlooking of excellent

material.

A few don’ts for voting might be suggestive. Luckily, on our
campus it is hardly necessary to say “Don’t vote on the grounds

of popularity.”

Remarkably few officers have ever been elected

here on that basis. But it is quite essential to insist, “Don’t copy

the nominations and vote of other people.”

Everyone has a mind

of her own, and now is the time for her to use it. Of course, it

is all right and good to discuss
copy is unpardonable.

Again, “Don’t fail to think
early.

and suggest with others, but to

about the matter,’ and to do it

If everyone waited until the last five minutes to fill out

nomination blanks, and if everyone came to elections without hav-
ing put a minute’s real thought on the nominees, what do you

suppose our results would be?

ROBERT MORRIS, FINANCIER

Not “burning for independence,”
like Samuel Adams, but a man of
soberer judgment, cooler reason and
equal love of freedom from tyranny,
Robert Morris, “Financier of the Rev-
olution,” absented himself from his
seat in Congress on July 4, 1776, when
the Declaration of Independence was
submitted for approval.

Bob Morris (as he often signed him-
self) was a signer of the famous <doc-
ument, the one hundred and fiftieth
anniversary of which will be cele-
brated by the Sesqui-Centennial Inter-
Philadelphia
this year, but he did not affix his

national Exposition in
name until August 2, when the en-
grossed Declaration was laid on the
table to be signed.

For a long time he believed that the
Colonies were not yet ready for inde-
pendence, but his final signature was
not inconsistent with his former hesi-
tation, for much had happened in the
brief month between the two dates.
Such a signature as his leaves little
doubt as to his sincerity—large, clear,
steady and devoid of entangling flour-
ish in its forthright march across the
page.

Again and again did Robert Mor-

ris, with the gifts of a natural-born
financier, come to the rescue of his
country when money was the prime
requisite of the moment. On his per-
sonal credit he borrowed a sufficient
sum to enable Washington to finish
his victory over the Hessians at Tren-
ton, to be followed by his success at
Princeton.

As a staesman he discharged his

duties in a distinguished manner:

three times a member of Congress;

leader of the Pennsylvania delegation
which signed the “Articles of Confed-
eration and Perpetual Union Between
the States”; Superintendent of Fi-
nance; delegate to the Constitutional
Convention, and first Senator from
Pennsylvania to the First Congress of
the United States under the Constitu-
tion.

A statue recently has been placed
on the steps of the Custom House in
Philadelphia. A tall figure bears in
his hand a manuseript which repre-
sents the subseription list of Colonial
business men who provided Washing-
ton’s army with sufficient funds to
gain the victory at Yorktown. The
statue is as yet unveiled, but it bears
the inscription: “Robert Morris, Pa-
triot, Statesman, Financier.”

Tax Bill

Washington.—The House of Repre-
sentatives passed the tax resolution
by the overwhelming majority of 354
to 28. Although there was some talk
of delaying the passage in order to
change the bill, this was avoided by
clever political maneuvering. Favor-
able action by the Senate is expected
within the week.

Black Hand

New York.—Benjamino Gigli, star
of the Metropolitan Opera, arrived
from Detroit, where he had cancelled
his engagement to sing, giving less
than a day’s notice. Gigli stated that
on his arrival in Detroit the police in-
formed him that they had received a
letter threatening his life. The singer
became so nervous that he felt that he

could not do himself justice and ac-
cordingly cancelled his concert. The
origin of the letter is unknown, though
it is believed to have an Italian politi-
cal significance. Gigli said that he
was neither Fascist nor anti-Fascist,
but merely an Italian.

Cooperation,

Last week some $39,000,000 worth
of stock in the Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey passed into the hands
of 16,358 employees of that company.
This change was the result of an em-
ployee-stock-purchasing plan which
went into effect five years ago. By
this plan the group of employees own
more stock than any other individual
or group except John D. Rockefeller,
Jr., himself. This constitutes a move
on the part of one of the much-be-
smirched capitalist’ families to aid
friendship between capital and labor.

Italian Hot-Air

Rome.—In the Chamber of Depu-
ties Premier Mussolini launched a
vigorous and decidedly untactful at-
tack on the criticisms of the German
press against the Italian policy in the
Tyrol. This section of Upper Tren-
tino came to Italy as a result of the
Treaty of Versailles, and the decision
is classed as one of the worst blun-
ders of that conference. The Italian
government has suppressed the vil-
lage councils, and closed the German
schools, regardless of the fact that a
great number of the population are
Germans. Italy under Fascism has
no freedom of the press, and Musso-
lini resented the freedom of republi-
can Germany. There is many a note
in his speech that recalls the attitude
of the Kaiser, but Germany took the
sensible attitude of refusing to con-
sider Mussolini’s bombast as a threat
of war. Europe and the world in gen-
eral will have trouble with the black-
shirted dictator yet.

Government Reform

Another move to improve the ma-
chinery of our government appeared
when the Senate and House commit-
tees reported favorably on a resolu-
tion to change the time of inaugura-
tion. Under the present system, the
executive officers take their positions
on the March after the election; but
unless the president calls a special
session of it, Congress does not meet
until December—thirteen months after
its election. The pending resolution
would assemble Congress the January
after its election, and induct the pres-

ident into office later in the same
month. This is undoubtedly a needed
reform. The old system of assembly

suited the time and slow transporta-
tion of the age in which our nation
was born, when they did not even
know the limits of the continent, much
less were able to cross it in five days.
But modern conditions need a modern
system.

The “Tar Heel” carries an interest-

made by the Gwynn family with Phi

Four brothers, alumni of the Uni-
versity, hold the record, this being
with but one exception the largest
number of members of one family in
Phi Beta Kappa.
passing that of these men is that of
the Isaacs family of Cincinnati, of
which six brothers are members of the

Five eastern colleges for women
have gone on record as being opposed
to following Bryn Mawr’s action in
permitting students to smoke.

Wellesley, Russell Sage, Smith,
Pennsylvania College for Women and
Mount Holyoke College have stated
most emphatically that there is no
prospect of an “immediate change.”

Russell Sage reports that it has
nefer found smoking a serious prob-
lem and that Pennsylvania College for
Women states that the consensus of
opinion there is that the student’s sen-
timent against smoking is such that
no legislation is necessary.

An interesting experiment is being
tried at Harvard—the Seniors are per-
mitted to take unrestricted cuts from
classes. Just lately the announce-
ment came that a similar policy had
been inaugurated at Yale.

There is quite a variety of opinion
upon the advisability of such a policy
in education. The correspondent of
The Boston Transcript hailed Yale's
new ruling as “the most progressive
extension of its educational policy
since the establishment of the elective
system.”

On the other hand, the New York
Herald-Tribune seems to have its
doubts: “The Harvard experiment,
delightful as it may be as an academic
departure, is quite at variance with
the workaday system which is sure to
be imposed upon its beneficiaries as
soon as they leave Cambridge and set
out to earn their livelihood.”

Whether or not the experiment
proves practical, however, remains to
be seen.

THE AMERICAN STAGE

Reflections of an Amateur

I.

You will not expect from me a tech-
nical or learned discourse. My card
of identification in this distinguished
gathering bears the designation
neither of teacher nor of actor, play-
wright or producer, but merely that of
amateur.

Let me add, for further identifica-
tion, that the definition of the term
“amateur,” as I mean it, has no rela-
tion to the accepted significance of
the term “Angel” or its latter-day
equivalent, “Butter and Egg Man.”

The impulses which actuate the
“Angel” are generally looked upon as
being not precisely angelic. On the
contrary, they are, as a rule, believed
to be distinctly earthly. Far be it
from me to belittle the motif of female
loveliness in the scheme of things,
but when it comes to the question of
determining artistic worth-whileness,
the tests are basically different from
those prevailing at a “beauty con-
test.”

In the case of the “Butter and Egy
Man,” the impulses of the “Angel” are
modified, in greater or lesser degree,
by the desire to gamble for monetary
stakes. His imagination is stimulated
by thoughts of the balance sheet of
*“Abie’s Irish Rose.” Again, far be it
from me to belittle the profit-motive
in the scheme of things. But it has
no place in the determination of a
man's attitude towards art.

An amateur’s sole motive must be
love of art, and it must be coupled
with understanding and discrimina-
tion. He must be endowed measur-
ably with the faculty of exercising
critical judgment, as he must possess
the capacity for hot enthusiasm. He
must be susceptible of being nause-
ated, as he must be susceptible of be-
ing thrilled. He must react with
broad and enthusiastic receptivity to
the genuine, beautiful and worthy;
and to the meretricious, the common-
place, the tasteless, the vulgar, he
must react with that intolerance
which is a virtue in matters of art
as it is a vice in the affairs of real
life.

The amateur who is able and will-
ing to give monetary support to the
cause of art must not look upon his
financial contribution as entitling him
to be the power behind the throne of
the artistic direction. The artist must
be left unhampered and supreme in
his domain. The amateur may, and
should, contribute, besides his funds,
his interest, encouragement and en-
thusiasm, his understanding, even
his criticism, but he must not permit
himself, or be permitted, to become a
“butting-in” nuisance.

He must realize that he is rarely
needed, except in cases where, from
the financial point of view, the odds
are greatly against him. He must not
expect, or try, to “play safe.”

He must reserve his interventions
to enable those things to be attempte:l
or achieved which are worth doing,
but which, without the support which
he is in a position to offer, financially
or otherwise, could not, or would not,
be undertaken.

He must seek single-mindedly to
serve art, he must aim to aid talent,
especially young talent, and he must
find his sole reward in the joy and
usefulness of that service. And he
must be impervious to disillusion-
ments.

11 West Al. ar a St.

amateur of the drama was to take a
leading part in calling into being the
“New Theatre,” which opened its
doors in the year 1909. It proved a
first-class, man-sized disillusionment.
I will not detain you by indulging in
an elaborate “post-mortem.” Suffice
it to quote, if I may, a few sentences
from a speech which I made at the
laying of the corner stone of The
Guild Theatre in New York last win-
ter:

“The present oecasion brings viv-
idly to my mind the recollection of
a similar celebration fifteen years
ago. It was on the 6th of Novem-
ber, 1909, that the then Governor
of New York, Mr. Hughes, flanked
by Senator Elihu Root and the late
J. Pierpont Morgan, inauguratéd
the New Theatre. It was an im-
pressive and auspicious ceremony.
A great gathering had assembled,
including men and women distin-
guished in all walks of life. The
most sanguine expectations seemed
amply justified. Enthusiasm ran
high. No theatre ever opened with
such puissant financial backing as
was represented by the captains of
finance and industry who were the
Founders of the New Theatre.

“Within two years the venture,
set on its way with such proud and
joyous anticipations, was laid low,
and the enterprise, started under
such brilliant auspices, had come to
an end.

“The autopsy disclosed several
ailments, none of which needed to
have been, or should have been,
fatal—such as the size of the
house, the imperfection of the
acoustics, etc. The really determin-
ing cause of death was found to be
malfunctioning of the heart.

“We, the parents of the New
Theatre, had brought forth an idea.
To live and to grow, it needed air,
plain fare and avoidance of pam-
perjng. Weenclosed it in a gor-
geous abode of brick and mortar, we
stifled it with golden raiment, we
fed it on a diet seasoned with “so-
ciety” ingredients. We were con-
scious, and let the public be con-
scious, of its high-toned pedigree.
It had been born anaemic. V¥e
failed to apply the right treatment
against that congenital deficiency.
On the contrary, we managed rather
to aggravate the trouble. Its blood
did not nourish the heart. And thus
it languished and died.

“We had not sufficienly realized
that first must be the spirit, and
then the deeds of the spirit, and
then the followers of the spirit, and
then only the house fitted to shel-

ter the spirit.”
= =

* * *

However, the New Theatre, though
its demise was rather inglorious, had
not lived in vain. Nothing that is
well done and worthy of preservation
is ever quite lost, and not a few of
the things which characterized the
New Theatre’s short career, were ex-|

ceedingly well done. All of its per-
formances had quality. Some of them
were of superlative excellence.

It did set a standard in action and
in purpose. It did proye that it was
possible to aim high and make a hit
(for, though it failed, its receipts per
performance were greater than those
of any other theatre then in operation
in New York). It did mobilize a spirit
and enlist a following which, once
called into being and rallied around the
flag of an independent, non-commer-
cial, forward-looking, upward-striving
theatre, never disarmed or disinte-
grated, but remained a living and po-
tent force which was to be heard from
before long.

I venture to regard it as not merely
a sequence of time, but, to an extent
at least, as a sequence of casualty,
that the demise of the New Theatre
was followed by a great quickening
of the movement for independent
theatres, and the coming into being of
many such, both in New York and
throughout the country.

II.

After the abandonment of the New
Theatre venture, most of the Found-
ers dropped out. A small remnant of
us remained, willing and eager to
“carry on.” Taught by experience,
we determined to proceed on a far
more modest scale, and not again to
build on the unstable foundation of
the support of “Society.” And we in-
tended to make the feature of our
enterprise the establishment of a rep-
ertory theatre. We actually acquired
a site (now, if I remember correctly,
occupied by the Booth Theatre), and
had plans drawn for the erection of
an unpretentious building.

But this time we were resolved to
look before we leaped. So we set out

;to obtain the most competent advice

available. We conferred with all the
leading authorities in stageland on
the subject of creating a repertory
theatre. The verdict was unanimous
that it could not be done.

We were told that,-as far as the
New York public was concerned, it
already had what for their purpose
was tantamount to a repertory the-
atre, in that there were so many
theatres in New York that the theatre-
goer had a choice of constant variety;
moreover, the New York public had
certain fixed and deep-rooted habits,
arising from conditions appertaining
to the prevailing mode of life, which
habits it would be exceedingly diffi-
cult, if not impracticable, to modify,
and which were not compatible with
the patronage of a repertory theatre.
We were told further that, as far as
the actors and playwrights were con-
cerned, there were ineradicable cir-
cumstances which made a permanent
repertory theatre (unless it was con-
ceived in the nature of a training
school for the young), unfeasible in
New York, even though a few leading

Giddie Gossip
Dear Giddie:

Now that the long-expected holiday
is over we have come down to earth
again. Most of us have recovered
from the excitement, but I agree with
Ada Knight, who thinks we should all
be excused from classes Tuesday to
rest up from Monday’s celebrations.
Lesa Holifield must have had an extra
large dose of excitement, as she had
to go to the infirmary next morning
and sleep it off. “But, in spite of all
one can say about the advantages of
sleeping in class,” she yawningly re-
marked, “the infirmary beds are much
more comfortable than the chairs in
the biology lecture room.”

I guess it is a sign that I am getting
old, Giddie, but I can’t help but think
of the good old days that have gone.
But, after all, [ am only a sophomore,
so maybe no one will accuse me of
being ready for senile dementia if I
reminisce a little; and I find constant
cause for lamenting the fact that gym
is not the crip it once was. Yes, it
used to be that I could go down to the
hockey field, take my place as a goal
guard and count on the natural large-
ness of my pedal extremities to bring
glory to the home team, with no exer-
tion on my part.

But this is not the case now. My
dear, even in the lowly position of
right fielder I am kept busy crawling
over the ground, picking up balls that
I fail to catch. However, I got some
sympathy from Miss Randolph. After
several times reminding me that the
object of the game was to hit the
ball, she relented and said I made
three of the prettiest strikes she had
ever seen! At least, I can do some-
thing well.

I saw Catherine Graeber just now
and she told me that she was going to
little Dec. But would you believe it,
she did not head towards Hewey’s
Drug Store at all, but walked straight
to Home Ec.! And just as the last
class bell rung I heard Mellie Zellers
say something about “Big Dec’ and
rush wildly into Number 3 Main. This
is work for Sherlock Holmes! The
only clue I can furnish is that it seems
to have some connection with the
psychology department.

I must stop now and rush to physics.

The Entertainment Committee of
the Alumnae entertained the Seniors
at a tea last Friday, February 26.
The Alumnae House was charmingly
decorated and the hostesses most gra-
cious. The tea was given between
3:30 and 5 o’clock.

Dot Keith, ’25 (Bee’s sister) and
Ann McKay, ‘25, are coming to Ag-
nes Scott for the debate in March.

Mrs. Robyns (Mary Ray’s mother)
has been visiting at the Alumnae
House. General Tasker Bliss
there last Monday. He addressed the

college Monday evening.

Lois McLean has been visiting Lib
Ransom in Birmingham and will soon
visit Beulah Davidson in Fort Valley,
where she will attend the annual
Peach Festival.

Sally Horton, ’25, is now teaching

in Birmingham, Ala., and Eugenia
Thompson is substituting in the
schools there.

Lillian Middlebrooks and Clyde

Passmore were here for the Founder’s
Day celebration.

Georgia May Little’s new address
is Biola Hotel, 538 Hope Street, Los
Angeles, California.

Anna Mead, '23, has been a feted
guest at the Mardi Gras in New Or-
leans.

The alumnae were all deeply inter-
ested in the radio program on Found-
er’s Day. This will be an annual event
henceforth. Telegrams and messages
of congratulation have come in from
about fifteen states. The alumnae
have by no means forgotten A. 8. C.

You asked me why I have not told you
anything about Miss Howson lately.
Well, the truth is that her experi-
ments have worked so well lately that
her classes are more instructive than
amusing, and there is little to write.

The American Stage

artists could doubtless be found who,
for a certain length of time, would be
willing to lend their cooperation to
such a theatre.

We were warned that, if we really
had in mind a repertory theatre in
the true meaning of the term, we were
setting out on a wild goose chase,
from which we would return sadder,
wiser, and distinctly poorer men.

I am inclined to think that the ad-
vice given to us was sound. I am
inclined to question whether, even to-
day, fifteen years after that episode,
and with all the developments that
have since taken place in the fields
of the stage in New York, a repertory
theatre in that city would have a
chance to live, assuming that it could
and should only live if it did not fall
short of the best standard of acting
to be found in other theatres.

IV.

But I have no doubt at all that rep-
ertory theatres could and should be
established in cities other than New
York. The present
which the country outside of New
York looks mainly to the managers
in that city to provide it with theatri-
cal entertainment, is not only unde-

system, under

sirable from many points of view, but
is proving less and less successful.

I know of no good reason why peo-
ple living hundreds, or even thousands,
of miles away from Manhattan Island,
in differing environment, with differ-
ing impressions, problems and condi-
tions of life, should not provide and
prepare, at least in part, their own
dramatic fare according to their own
disposition and propensities.

It is incongruous, unfair and unde-
sirable that American dramatic talent
(which term includes playwrights and
producers as well as actors), in order
itself adequately,
should be compelled to squeeze itself
through that narrow neck of the bot-
tle—Broadway.

to demonstrate

It is not only the competition, so-
called, of the “movies,” nor the in-
crease in expenses, which has wrought
devastation to “the road” and has
brought it about that in a number of
our larger cities the theatre of the
spoken word has ceased, or almost
ceased, to exist as a popularly patron-
ized institution. The causes lie deeper.
One of the means, the chief means,
in my opinion, of counteracting and
ultimately eliminating’ them is to en-
list local pride, to discover and give
opportunity to local talent, and to
bring into concrete existence senti-
ments, aspirations and interests which
are latent among the people through-
out the country.

By the term “local” I do not mean
necessarily one single community
only. I can readily conceive arrange-
ments and methods by which a num-
ber of communities would combine to
have, each one for a certain period,
their theatrical season.

V.

A plentiful supply of talent would
be found available for such undertak-
ings outside of New York. Young
America, especially the female por-
tion of young America, is bringing
forth each year a surprising number
of artistically gifted—some of them

*,

Peachtree

brilliantly gifted—ambitious and se-
rious-minded aspirants for a career
on the dramatic stage or in music.
That it should be the
female portion is easily explained and

especially

wholly natural, in view of the condi-
tions and the tasks which determined
the evolution of the two sexes in this
new continent of boundless opportuni-
ties.

Indeed, it is an interesting and fas-
cinating speculation to trace and pur-
sue the differing trend which these
conditions and tasks have given to
the evolution of the male and the
female, respectively, in America—so
differing that one may be tempted to
hazard the aphorism that we have in
this country not merely a male and
female sex, as everywhere else, but
that, in a way, we are evincing the
curious and unprecedented phenome-
non of the co-existence of a male race
and a female race. However, | am
abusing the privilege of an amateur to
wander from the point.

VI.

To return to the orderly sequence
of my thought, I wish to stress the
point that far too much of young
America’s artistic talent goes to waste
for lack of guidance and opportunity.

In Germany, in Italy, and—of late to
a lesser extent—in France, there is a
theater in almost every one of the
larger cities (not to speak of the
state-maintained conservatories in the
respective capitals). Young artists
get their practical training, their rou-
tine and stage experience in the
smaller theatres. It does not take
long for those of superior qualifica-
tions to be discovered, and to find
engagements at theatres in the prin-

cipal cities. Similarly with young
playwrights.
With us, where, in the ordinary

course of things, can a young artist
seeking a stage career find compar-
able openings for practical guidance
and learning and development ? Where
are the sign-posts pointing the road
to the goal to which she or he are
aspiring with all the eagerness and
intensity of their youthful souls?
Where can young playwrights get
their works produced effectively, ex-
cept in the over-crowded mart of New
York?

The stock companies, unfortunately,
have been vanishing more and more
(though, I am glad to learn, that of
late there has been somewhat of a
reversal of that tendency). The aver-
age young artist applying for an en-
gagement at an average Broadway
manager’s office is first met with the
question: ‘What experience have you

ad?” and if the answer is: “None”
or “Little” the manager’s more or less
gentle rejoinder would be, generally
and not unnaturally, that his theatre
is not a school for beginners and that
the Metropolitan public is “hard-
boiled” and exacting.

Of course, there are exceptional

Agnes Scott Radio
Program Enjoyed

Heard all over the U. S.

On February 22, 1926, the first
great national Agnes Scott Day was
celebrated. The chief feature of the
day was the radio program which was
given over WSB, the broadeasting sta-
tion of the Atlanta Journal. Promptly
at eight o’¢lock President McCain's
veice greeted his “girls” scattered over
the entire United States, but meeting
together at this time and bound to-
gether always by the tie of love for
their “Alma Mater.” An hour's pro-
gram was arranged, consisting for the
most part of music. The college vlee
club and orchestra furnished music and
there were solos by Frances (Gilli-
land) Stukes, '24, and Helen Bates,
'26. At the request of many who
were listening in, Miss Hopkins also
spoke. Sixty-one telegrams, repre-
senting fourteen states, were received
besides many letters; in all, twenty
states were heard from.

Telegram were received from:

Harper’s Inter-
collegiate Literary
Contest

Harper’s Magazine offers a First
Prize of $500, a Second Prize of
$300, and -a Third Prize of $200 for
the best pieces of English prose, not
more than 4,000 words long or 7,000
words in the ease of fiction, written

by undergraduates in American col-
leges and universities. This is another
effort on the part of the House of
Harper
every sort to the younger American
writers. Agnes Seott is among the
colleges, about fifty in number, taking
part, who were selected and invited
by Harper’s Magazine to take part in
the contest. The judges of this con-

to offer encouragement of

test are to be Christopher Morley, gh

Zona Gale, and William McFee.

There are several conditions, some
of which apply to the head of the
English Department at the college,
since he is to select the five manu-
seripts he considers best to represent
the college. Condition 3, however, ap-
plies directly to the writer:

“Manuscripts, to be eligib'e, must be
the original work of the enrolled stu-
dents in any of the undergraduate de-
partments of the college or univer-
sity. They must be written in prose.
but may be stories, essays, articles or
any other form of prose work suit-
able for magazine publication. Trans-
lations or adaptations are ineligible.
Manuscripts which have been pub-
lished elsewhere than in a college
magazine or college newspaper are in-
eligible, but the fact that a manu-
script has been published in a college
magazine of college newspaper shall
not exclude it from consideration. It
is understood that, subject to the
above conditions, Manuscripts written
as themes in English courses or for
college papers, or otherwise, shall be
equally eligible.”

The manuseript that wins First
Prize will be published in Harper’s
Magazine, and the magazine re-
serves also the right to purchase for

Blackfriars Going
to Charlotte

Blackfiars has been asked by the
Charlotte Agnes Scott Club to go to
Charlotte and present three of the
plays that were written by members
of the playwriting class and presented
by Blackfriars in the auditorium
February 20: They are to leave here
March 26, the day that Spring holi-
days begin, and are planning to give
the play Saturday night at the high
school auditorium. The Charlotte
Alumnae promise to pay the expenses
of the girls taking part in the plays
and then to give Blackfriars fifty per
cent of the proceeds that remain after
the expenses are paid, Only three of
the place are to be given, “The Darned
Dress,” by Margaret Bland; “Aunt
Teenie,” by Grace Augusta Ogden,
and “Values,” by Polly Stone; and
there are to be a few changes in *he
casts because the Charlotte girls feel
that they can pay the expenses of only
ten people.

EDITORIAL

Someone was proposing the organization on our campur c*
denominational club, and the objection raised at once was this:
“We don’t want any more clubs; this campus is over-organized al-
ready.” The same complaint has been voiced from time to time
by others, and it is certainly not without justification from the
point of view of those few students on whom the burden of club
work falls. The real trouble, however, is not that we have too
many clubs, for we need enough of them to encourage all kinds of
talent; but that too few students take part in them. This state-
ment is justified by a cursory investigation we have made of the
number of girls actively interested in ultra-curriculum work. The
investigation covered Pi Alpha Phi, Blackfriars, the literary clubs,
the publications, the Glee Club, the Orchestra, Y. W. C. A. Cab-
inet and other workers, Student Governinent, class offices, and the
athletic board; it revealed the fact that approximately 50% of
our students take enough part in outside activities for them to be
called interested therein. And this per cent was taken without
consideration of the fact that the membership of many clubs over-
lap and that not all the members of a club do much work for it.
Deducting 10 or 15% for overlapping, we can safely state that
about 35 or 40% of our students carry on the outside activities.

Such statistics mean that only forty out of every hundred
girls are carrying outside work; no wonder those forty feel that
the campus is too highly organized. They will continue to feel
so until they are relieved by part of the other sixty. Of course,
the sixty may say that the forty have taken the burden upon
themselves and they only are to blame for their overwork. But
somebody must do the work. Granted that the clubs will con-
tinue, the forty, at the present status of things, will continue to
do the work. Granted that the clubs are useful to the college, the
forty, if others do not take interest, should continue.

Our problem is then: How can we interest more girls in ultra-
curriculum work? What is the matter with 60% of the college?
Inability? Certainly not. Our students are all select; and, while
inability may be pleaded in the case of some, that per cent is very
small. Lack of time? Certainly not. Anyone has time to engage
in at least one outside activity, as is evidenced by the fact that
many have found time for two, three, four, or five. Timidity?
Perhaps, to some extent; but such should be overcome. Day stu-
dents and freshmen do not sometimes feel the obligation to engage
in outside work as much as they should, and indeed, it is harder
for them; but day students certainly have the opportunity, and
freshmen by this time of year should be over inferiority com-
plexes (if they ever had any). We are forced to believe that lack
of interest in ultra-curriculum work is due in large measure to
carelessness and selfish laziness. We wonder how many of the
60% have ever recolleited that Agnes Scott gives each of them two
hundred dollars a year, and that they perhaps owe something in
return. Helping to spread the fame of Alma Mater or to entertain
her girls or broadening themselves and developing their talents is
one way of repaying.

Emory Students Celebrate
Success of Campaign
Last Tuesday evening, an event of

night. About three hundred Emory
students assembled on our campus. A
band played the familiar Alma Mater

unusual interest and amusement took
place on the Agnes Scott campus in
front of Main Building. For the past
week Emory has been having a ten
million dollar drive for an enlarge-
ment of equipment and buildings. The
drive was first launched on the cam-
pus, later it was extended to Atlanta,
and reached Agnes Scott Tuesday

and the Coca-Cola song, and ended
with the Agnes Scott Alma Mater.
Yells were given by the Emorites, and
answered by the Hottentots. Torches
carried by the Freshmen lighted up the
campus, Enthusiasm and interest be-
tween the two colleges seemed to
reach an unusual height. Agnes Scott
wishes Emory success and a greater
Emory in the future than ever before.

Seniors vs. Freshmen

In this little combat, the Seniors
seemed to have done their very best to
establish a world record in scoring.
On the other hand, the Freshmen
either lacked the inspiration which
would have rescued them from the de-
feat that swooped down upon them or
they had expressed a desire to
find out how many outs really were
possible in one game. The result was
appalling. Much and much more
could be said about the throng of fans
who gathered to see the teams in
play. The fact is, it rivalled the choir
invisible in the conspicuousness of its
absence. But for the information of
all concerned, the Seniors scooped up
42, leaving the remaining 16 to the
Freshmen.

they have ever taken. Traveling fif-

scenery, lighting and other stage
equipment by auto-truck, they ap-
peared in twelve cities, towns and col-

with large and enthusiastic audi-
ences.

Agnes Scott feels a personal inter-

cause they played here on their initial
tour, and left a lasting impression.
We hope their great success may con-

THE AMERICAN STAGE

Reflections of an Amateur

(Continued From Last Week)

Vil.

The remedy, as far as the field of
dramatic art is concerned, is to be
found, I believe, as I have already
indicated, mainly in the development
of the stage outside of New York. I
am, of course, aware of the large
number of community theatres, little
theatres, college theatres, ete., which
have sprung up in recent years, which
have much useful work to their credit,
and whose advent and activities are to
be cordially welcomed. But most of
these theatres, thus far, are very lim-
ited in their means and scope of action,
in their influence and in their effect-
iveness.

Ways ought to be studied, found
and put energetically into operation,
both through local proceedings and
through a nationally active organiza-
tion (in conjunction, perhaps, with
the principal independent theatres of
New York), to make these theatres
things of greater and more real con-
cern to their respective towns and
cities, to render them of broader sig-
nificance, of larger range, and, when
deserved, of wider reputation.

They should successfully challenge
the “movies” for public patronage.
They should become centres for quick-
ening and broadening the public inter-
est and for shaping and advancing the
public taste. And in order to come
measurably near accomplishing their
due functions, they must avoid, as a
cardinal sin, to be—or even arousing
the suspicion of being—high-brow,
“preachy,” anaemic exclusive, supe-
rior, but must be bold, red-blooded,
broad-gauged and appealing, taking
due cognizance of the pseychology of
the people and giving due heed to the
legitimate devices of showmanship.

That does not mean descending to
a mean level. To meet the thoughts,
feelings and aspirations of the rank
and file of the people does not mean
pandering to unworthy standards.
Fundamentally, their bent and mood,
their propensities of mind and soul,
spring from contact with, and take
their resonance from, the actualities
of life.

And he who looks upon life with a
jaundiced eye, who fails to appreciate,
and to respond to, its romance, its
adventure, its color, interest and vivid-
ness, its pathos, humor and heroism,
its majestic sweep towards a consum-
mation unrevealed, such an one should
not consider himself qualified to take
a leading part in the functions to
which I have alluded as being within
the province of the nation-wide stage.

VIL.

I believe that a democratic appeal
to the people is possible even in art.
In saying this, I do not intend to
imply that every “horny-handed son
of toil” is qualified to become an art
connoisseur. Neither do I assert that
the people, by and large, whatever
their station, are born with good taste.
On the contrary, the vast majority,
whether of rich or poor parentage, are
born with a natural tendency to re-
spond to the garish, vivid and obvious
rather than to the mellow, restrained,
subtle and aesthetic.

But I do believe that the American
people are susceptible to the message
of art, that they are responsive to
education and example in art, that
they welcome and gladly follow lead-
ership on the road to knowledge and
discernment, that they are eager to
learn, quick to perceive, and that,

having once become imbued with cor-
rect standards of appreciation, they
may generally be trusted to retain
and apply them.

And the souls of many people are
hungry. More and more of them are
feeling the need of something wholly
different from material needs and
aims, something which shall make the
contents of their lives fuller and richer
and more satisfying. There are but
few, very few, fields where that flower
is growing which, consciously or intu-
itively, they seek. One of those fields,
the greatest next to religion, is that
of art.

America, in the past century, had
the formidable task of conquering a
continent, physically, industrially, eco-
nomicaliy, and it was necessary that
the best brains, the intenset energies
and activities of its people should de-
vote themselves to that stern and
exacting task of material effort. That
consummation has been accomplished.

America stands today—and prom-
ises to stand for many a day—the
most prosperous, and economically
and industrially, the most puissant,
nation in the world. We can afford—
and ought—to occupy ourselves jin-
creasingly with the things of the
spirit, with art, science, culture. And
there is every evidence that this evo-
lution is, in facet, taking place.

The interest in art, the appreciation
of art, the cultivation of art, are
steadily broadening and deepening
among the people of America.

IX.

In no other field of artistic activity
is that quickening of popular interest
more noticeable than in that of the
stage, notwithstanding the apparently
contradictory fact that, for the time
being, so many of our cities are with-
out the theatre of the spoken word, a
fact arising from cireumstances which,
| feel sure, are temporary, and pecu-
liar to a period of transition.

Nowhere else in the world nowa-
days does the stage fill so large a
place as in New York, (I say this with
a full realization of certain undesir-
able features and ill-omened poten-
tialities, which demand notice in a
survey of the circumstances of the
New York stage. I am wholly confi-
dent that they will be checkmated and
mastered, and that the menace inher-
ent in them will be averted.) nowhere
else does it show the same vitality and
vigor, nowhere else is there such pro-
ducing enterprise, such a profusion
and variety of offerings, and so vast
and multiform a response. And I feel
convinced that what is true of New
York can be made to come true, and
will indue course come true, on a lesser
seale, naturally, and with appropriate
modifications, in many other Ameri-
can communities.

The sap is running strong in the
tree of American dramatic art.

as yet, with the quanity, but there are
valid reasons for tolerant judgment
in this respect, for the time being,
and, on the other hand, a number of
recently produced American plays
have been distinctly noteworthy, some
of them brilliant and altogether of a
high order of merit. And, what is
particularly and auspiciously signifi-
cant, the general tendeney and char-
acter of these plays have not been
imitative of European models, but
they have aimed to be racy of the soil,
expressive of American life, pervaded
by the tang and the atmosphere of
America,

To the abundance of young acting
talent, | have already referred. It is
gratifying to observe that it is coupled,
as a general rule, with conspicuous
loyalty to the art, with worthy ambi-
tion, and with serious striving. If too
much of that talent is found lacking
in adequate schooling, especially in
respect of the essential element of dic-
tion, the cause is not to be found,
according to my observation, in any
unwillingness of young artists to work
hard and to learn, but rather in the
insufficiency of the opportunity open
to them to do so.

I am indulging the hope that there
may be, in the not too distant future,
at least one theatre in New York, de-
voted exclusively to youth—a stage
where young America shall have its
innings. My imagination pictures a
playhouse, where understanding, guid-
ance, encouragement and opportunity
shall attend young talent; where the
delicate bloom of its hopes, dreams
and aspirations shall be nurtured
sympatheically and wisely, sheltered
from chilling or coarsening touches;
where to the appealing, unuttered, but
insistent query of the beginner,
“What price glory?” there shall come
the answer: “One price only, and
none other, and the same price to all,
‘merit.’ Payable in one currency only,
and none other, a currency coined from
the ingredients of talent, work and
devotion to art.”

I would think it probable that to
the stage of such a playhouse only
those should have access who have not
appeared in public in New York be-

Blackfriar Banquet

A strange crowd of pirates, cast-
aways and scarecrows was to be seen
mingling with girls in faultless eve-
ning dress at the Alumnue Tearoom
Tuesday night, March 2. It was the
oceasion of the annual banquet of
Blackfriars, the faculty
members were honor guests. They in-
cluded Miss Hopkins, Miss Alexander,
Miss McKinney, Miss Laney, Miss
Gooch, Mr. Stukes and “Mr. Holt.

A delicious five-course dinner was
served, during which the new mem-

at which

bers gave a very interesting perform-
ance, as it was also the occasion of
“Bee” Keith
gave a very realistic pirate scene;

their formal initiation.

Bettina Bush presented the dance of
the Seven Veils in a truly unusual
manner; Sara Carter gave a presen-
tation of “Trees at Night’; Marion
Green interpreted in a modern way a
classical sleep-walking scene; Lillign
White was excellent as a scarecrow;
Lillian LeConte as a cartoonist drew
(imaginary) portraits of popular
members of Blackfriars; Louise Love-
joy told of her experiences on the Fiji
Islands as a castaway; and Augusta
Roberts gave everyone a sample of
Whitman’s “Sampler.” Even the “ini-
tiates” admitted that they enjoyed the
banquet!

French Club Meets

The French Club held a very inter-
esting meeting Wednesday, March 3.
The members were invited to a tea
which proved most enjoyable, even
though it was in French. They were
greeted at the door by the officers of
the club, and were served by Gene
Dozier, Elizabeth,Cole, and Lucey Mai
Cook. The group gathered around the
piano and sang many inspired French
songs. Following this a short busi-
ness meeting was conducted by the
vice president, Marion Green, for the
president, Mary Davis. Many plans
were outlined, chief among which is
the presentation by the elub of a
French play. This has aroused great
interest among the members, and ar-
rangements are to be made as soon
as possible.

This first meeting proved a very en-
thusiastic one and in this spirit the
club hopes to continue to grow in
“bigger and better” things.

Giddie Gossip

Dearest Giddie:

Everybody in school, with the pos-
sible exception of Miss White and Dr.
McCain, is ready to give three cheers
for Emory and sing long may they

have Student Drives, since Tuesday \,

night’s excitement. Can you imagine
how thrilled we were when Emory’s
fifty fairest appeared in the full moon-
light in front of Main? A regular riot
ensued when we found that the torches
were not from a Ku Klux parade, and
the whistle we heard was not Mamie

Shaw blowing for Mr. White, but the
cheer leader giving signals.

But, like all riots, it left tragedies
in its wake. This time they were two-
fold. Miss White was confined to her
room with a sore throat caused by
violent “shooing’”’ when she forgot

where she was and tried to secure
quiet and order during the singing of
“Let Me Call You Sweetheart.” The
other casualty, 1 hear, happened to
Dr. MeCain, who was indulging in
Agnes Scott’s favorite indoor sport—
that of chewing gum—and in the ex-
citement bit his tongue.

As Spring comes on [I am afraid
our faney is turning more and more
the way a young man’s is supposed to
turn, Giddie. Take Ann Heys and
Louise Capen for example. And some-
thing like this seems to be the matter
with Grace Holding. In Chemistry
today a car was heard to start out-
side about the time that Mr. Holt
wrote on the board such a formula as
only he is capable of. Pointing with
pride to this achievement he asked,
“Can you name that, Miss Grace?”
To be awarded with a timid, “Yes, sir,
{ think it is a Ford.”

Did I tell you about Louise Plumb’s
latest tragedy? She was “week-end-
ing” several blocks from the car line
so she saved her strength by putting
only a few necessities in her suit case,
and making it as light as possible.
But she certainly got a jolt when she
began to unpack and found that some
playful friend had put in a couple of
bricks.

I must stop now, Giddie, dear. But
though gym and Bible notes claim my
attention momentarily, remember I am

Interesting Program | Generous Federal

Y. W.C. A. Services

The Y. W. C. A. programs have
been of unusual interest lately. On
February 28, Caroline McCall made a
beautiful talk on Happiness. The
keynote was “He that loseth his life
for my sake, the same shall find it.”
In the introduction, Caroline differen-
tiated between the meanings of hap-

piness and joy, content and pleasure.
She discussed losing’ oneself in work,
friends, or enthusiasms, and showed
that in giving up selfish pursuits in
the service of others, one naturally
feceives happiness as a by-product.

Last Sunday evening, March
Emory’'s annual program at the Y. W.
CK For the
past few years the custom has been
followed of exchanging leaders with
Emory for one of the Sunday night
services. The four
from our neighboring university put
on a program that delighted the audi-
ence and stimulated thought in spirit-
ual matters.

Next Sunday evening, Martha
Crowe will give a talk on courtesy,
especially in its direct application to
us here on the campus.

Aid Asures Success
of Sesqui-Centennial

Federal aid to the Sesqui-Centen-

nial International Exposition has been
placed at $4,186,500, according to the
recommendations of a bill which has
been reported favorably to the House
of Representatives in Washington by
its Committee on Industrial Arts and
Expositions,

The favorable consideration of the
bill carrying this amount followed
several meetings of the committee
with Captain Asher C. Baker, direc-
tor-in-chief of the Exposition. and E.
L. Austin, controller, during the past

week.
The bill as framed includes the fol-
lowing amounts. $3,000,000 for direct

jaid to the Exposition; $586,500 for

Governmental civilian participation;

' $250,000 for Army and $350,000 for

Navy exhibits.

Former Solicitor-General James M.
Beck, chairman of the National Ad-
visory Commission, recently appointed
by President Coolidge, also appeared
before the Committee to urge that aid
be given by the Government, empha-
sizing that the natign’s honor is at
stake in providing a celebration wor-
thy of the anniversary it celebrates,
that of the one hundred and fiftieth
anniversary of the signing of the De-
claration of Independence. Secretary
of Commerce Hoover gave strong sup-
port to the Philadelphia position.

“This Committee and Congress
should have two considerations,” Mr.
Beck stated, “one to provide for parti-
cipation by the Government and the
other the matter of direct aid or a
subsidy. The moment Congress acts
the foreign nations will come in. The
fact that Congress has not helped, has
hindered. As good Americans, come
to our relief. We need your help.”

This plea to the patriotism of the
members of the committee, supple-
mented by the figures and arguments
presented by Mr. Austin and Captain
Baker, preceded the favorable action
upon the measure,

The impetus given to the Exposi-
tion by this action of the Congression-
al body will result in expediting the
plans for buildings to house Govern-
ment exhibits and arrangements of
space for the location of soldiers, sail-
ors and marines who will be stationed
at the Exposition.

The participation by the Army will
include the establishment of a pro- |
visional brigade of composite troops,
depicting the entire army and consist-
ing of 116 officers and 1,774 men, as
well as a citizens’ military training
camp for 600 boys, & visit by West
Point cadets and hy the United
States Army Band.

The Navy’s display will comprise
utilization of the League Island Navy
Yard, adjacent to the Exposition site,
to demonstrate the extent of the
armed naval forces of the Govern-
ment.—

The American Stage

fore. I would imagine that there
would be a system of constant rota-
tion, and that no one should be allowed
to remain more than, say, three sea-
sons, the theory of that last sugges-
tion being that if an artist “makes
good” he or she will find an engage-
ment at one of the regular theatres
within three years, and if he or she
does not make good within that period
it may be assumed that the stage is
not their calling, and that they had
better turn to some other occupation.

Over the portals of such a playhouse
there might well be blazoned the fine
device which I observed inseribed over
the arch of the proscenium of the
stage on which I am standing: “Ici
"Inspiration Deploie Ses Ailes” (“Here
Inspiration Unfolds Her Wings.’’)

xX:

I need not refer in this gathering to
the fact that the stage is a serious
and important cultural element, and
of far-reaching influence; that it is of
great social value; that it has a
weighty purpose and a large mission.
The Frenchman’s saying, “Let who
will govern the people, provided I may
write their songs,” is fitly applicable
to the stage,

From all that I have endeavored to
set forth, there emerges, as I see it,
one overshadowing need. It is the
need for leadership. And the natural
recruiting ground, the natural depot,
for supplying that leadership are the
universities and colleges.

There is no people anywhere more
malleable than this new race of ours,
a race which is the composite and re-
sultant of strains so multifarius, and
still in full process of evolution and
development. There is no people more
willine to rally around leaders, and
none more worthy to be finely led.

The scope of leadership which lies
before our universities and colleges
in the field of dramatic art is great
indeed. Its potential fruitfuiness can
hardly be overestimated. The value
and diversity of the influence, which
it is open to these seats of learning
to exercise in the fulfillment of that
mission, warrant the active zeal and
the most careful and earnest consider-
ation on the part of those with whom
rests the function to mobilize and mar-
shal that force.

I will not further prolong these
already too protracted remarks and

will leave to others, more competent
than I am, the task of ventilating con-
crete propositions.

XI.

My own general suggestions to-
wards furthering the nation-wide pur-
pose which this conference contem-
plates and desires to serve, I would
venture to summarize under the fol-
lowing four heading’s:

1. Decentralize. Emancipate your-
selves from Broadway. Don’t be sat-
isfied to be the “hinterland” of New

York.

2. Seek out, foster and guide young
talent and give to it opportunity, in
respect of acting as well as of play-
writing and producing. You people
west of New York are less rushed and
driven and crowded and preoccupied
than we are. You have more repose
for thinking and feeling and concen-
trating. Your expenses in undertak-
ing a theatrical venture ‘are far
smaller than the swollen costs of
Broadway with its appaling rentals.
You are better situated to experiment
and to evolve new contributions to the
art. In reversal of the historic order
of things, yours should be the slogan:
“Tix occidente lux.”

3. Organize, and exercise boldly,
the leadership of the universities and
colleges in dramatic affairs, not only
within your immediate jurisdiction but
by projecting your cultural influence,
example and authority throughout
your respective States.

4, The test of the leader is to have
followers. To gain and hold the pub-
lie you do not have to play down to
the level of the “tired business man,”
but you do have to avoid dullness,
drabness, sermonizing, sterile intellec-
tuality. What the theatre-going pub-

lic wants—and rightly wants—is to be

this country, sharing in the view,
which is expressed in the invitation

Technology, as to the potentialities of

‘the Little and Community Theatres

and the dramatic activities of the
Universities and Colleges, I am bas-
ing high hopes upon this conference,
and deem it a great privilege to
take a modest part in its deliberations.
The book of American art is young.
But few of its pages have been writ-
ten as yet. I hope and believe that
the results which are to flow from
the present meeting will be such as
to warrant a signal record of this
oceasion in that book of American art,
a book destined to tell, I feel sure, of
high and fine achievement, worthy of
a great and high-souled people.

KREYMBORGS TO BRING
PUPPET SHOWS HERE

Auspices of the Lecture

Associaiton.
The Lecture Association has
brought us noted lecturers like

Stephen Leacock, and Carl Van Doren,
and John Drinkwater, and Edward
Cheney. We have had Ellworth’s il-

lustrated lecture on Moliere, and

Count de Prorok’s leeture on ancient
archaelogical finds with accompany-
ing stereopticon views, but never be-
fore in the history of the Lecture As-
sociation at Agnes Scott have we had
such a unique program as the .one
which is to be presented on April 14th
or 15th. On this particular night, Al-
fred and Dorothy Kreymborg will be
here in the Puppet Plays of the Mush-
room Theatre,

Alfred Kreymborg is not only fam-
ous as the author of “Troubadour”

and as one of the foremost figures in
American poetry, but he belongs
among the vanguard of playwrights
now enriching the modern American
theatre.

His plays have been performed not
alone in his native city, New York,
but far and wide across the American
continent; in little theatres, universi-
ties, clubs, etc. “Lima Beans” “Man-
ikin and Minikin,” “Rocking Chairs,”
“There’s a Moon Tonight’—these are
but a few of the delightful titles he
has contributed to the American thea-
tre, in an ever individual form of
comedy, romance and rhythm.

A puppet theatre, designed by Her-
mann Rosse, the distinguished Dutch
artist, and. constructed by the Theo-
dore Kahn Scenic Studios, has just
been completed for Alfred and Doro-
thy Kreymborg.

The repertory of the Mushroom
Players is entirely composed of the
plays and pantomimes of Alfred
Kreymborg, with musie of his own
composition. (He will also chant his
own poems to the accompaniment of
the mandolute.)

With such an unusual treat in store
for us, we are truly anticipating the
visit of Mr. and Mrs. Kreymborg and
their tiny associates. We will have
an opportunity to see the kind of per-
formance that has been very popular
in England and on the continent since
a very early date, both for children
and grown-ups. What would society
have done without the Punch and
Judy show? It is well for us to re-
member that “puppets, like people,
are only human!”

Buy a Pennant!

There have been ingenious plans
and various methods introduced in
this neighborhood to reduce financial
difficulties; the latest is the sale of
pennants,

These are about the niftiest pen-
nants on the market, too. They are
a species of class pennants, made to
order by Mr. Floding of Atlanta, and
different from any of Mr, Tart’s or
‘Doctor’ Hewey’s wares. They are
made up in white and purple felt,
having “A. S. C.” in the largest cor-
ner, and “Agnes Scott” written in
graduated form the length of the pen-
nant; a white strip bearing the class
numerals separates the initials and
words, They are quite handsome, and
“look” much better than they
“sound.”

These are to be sold by the Fresh-
man, Sophomore and Junior classes
at $1.75 a piece. The orders have
been sent in, and are due in ten days,
but if you have failed to order one
and wish to, fortunately, you are not
left out, for re-orders may be sent in
at any time. .,

Here’s hoping the new financial
scheme turns out well, and the money
panic will be relieved!

Meeting of Internat’!
Relations Club

The International Relations Club
met in the Propylaean Hall at seven
o’elock on Thursday, March 11th. This

was the first evening meeting that the
club has had this year. Several weeks
ago, the Foreign Relations class or-
ganized itself to form this club, and
invited any studehts who were inter-
ested to attend the class meetings.
Because some who wished to come
and learn about world affairs had
other classes at the class hour, the
club voted to hold its meeting in the
evening, one night in the month.

On Thursday evening, the two del-
egates who had been sent to the In-
ternational Relations conference at
Brenau gave their reports to the club.
These reports were fuller than the
ones made in chapel last week, on the
same subject. Ellen Douglass Ley-
burn went more into detail concern-
ing the entertainment provided by
Brenau for its guests, and Grace Au-
gusta Ogden gavé a summary of the
three most interesting lectures—one
by Captain Kilpattick, on Russia; and
two by Mr. Albert Staub, on the Near
East.

Anyone who is interested in world
affairs is invited to visit the class at
its next regular meeting, at nine
o’clock on Wednesday morning.

' Ala. Glee Club Here OFFICERS

Program Enjoyable

The presentation of the University
of Alabama Glee Club at Agnes Scott
on Saturday, March 13th, confirmed
the unexaggerated comment of the
Rammer-Jammer, which said: “We be-
lieve that this year’s program of the
Glee Club is one of the best that we
have seen in the past few years,” and
“it seems to us that the Glee Club
can perform in any city in this state
or adjoining states and receive great
praise after each performance.” Those
who have enjoyed these Alabama
music-makers in past years were not
disapointed in the 1926 edition.

The instrumental numbers and
quartet songs were quite enjoyable,
as was Bob Hill’s solo. The most
praiseworthy part of the program,
however, was the chorus numbers, the
product of “Uncle Tom” Garner’s nev-
er-failing genius as director. The col-
lege songs and “The Matin Bell,’”’ with
Bob Holman’s yodel adding delight-

fulness, won much applause. Every-
one was charmed not only by the
music* but by the musicians them-

selves, who were met after the per-
formance at a reception given by the
Agnes Seott Glee Club. Again have
the Alabama Boys “Covered them-
selves with glory” in Georgia.

SENDS HIS TALK.

Mr. Hoover, a noted journalist, who
was formerly associate editor of a
prominent New York paper, and edi-
tor of a leading Detroit newspaper,
was scheduled to address K. U. B.
Hoover is in Atlanta in connection
with the campaign which Emory Uni-
versity is now putting on. He was un-
avoidably detained, but has sent K.
U. B. a copy of his address, which is
as follows:

To the Members of the K. U. B. Club,
Agnes Scott College, Decatur, Ga.:
It is with genuine regret that I am

compelled at this late hour to deny

myself the privilege of meeting with
you today to discuss the subject, ““Fea-
ture Writing.” My having been called
into Atlanta on the Emory campaign
prevents my coming over in person,

so, while I realize the flatness of a

“talk” in writing, I shall set forth

a few practical points gleaned from

something like 17 years as a news-

paper editor and writer in New York,

Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and a few

smaller cities, with the hope that these

ideas may prove more valuable even
than had they been delivered orally by
me.

In the main we shall consider met-
ropolitan journalism, for, after all,
our larger newspapers, with their ten
or more editions daily, constitute the
basic idea of what has come to be rec-
ognized as distinctive American jour-
nalism—terse, sometimes blunt in dic-
tion, sometimes really quite ungram-
matical as rules go, and sometimes,
indeed “sensational.” Compare, if you
have opportunity, one of our metro-
politan dailies with the London
Times. By the way, the classified
columns of the London papers are of-
ten as amusing to an American as a
copy of Life or Judge. And while
you are making the comparison, study
the style, analyze the context and the
method of grouping facts and present-
ing them. I have always found it
very helpful to beginning journalists
to make a regular analysis of news
and feature stories, good and bad.

But coming to “features:” I fear I
would never make a shining success
as an instructor because I find it ex-
ceedingly difficult to relate in detail
those steps in a process which one has
come to perform almost unconsciously.
Yet, to begin at the beginning, before
one can become a feature writer, in
the accepted sense, one must become

Dr. Averson Speaks

As a medical missionary to Korea,
Dr. Averson gave a most interesting
talk in chapel Saturday morning,
March 6th. He told of the establish-
ment by missionaries-of schools for
girls in that land of the Far East,
how their parents had at first objected
to their daughters learning on the
grounds that gitls need know only
how to care for households, how to
be good wives. They marry at any
age from thirteen to eighteen. Why
should they bother with the little
schooling they could get in that time?
“Now,” the speaker reported, “par-
ents are willing to pay to send their
girls to school.’ Mrs. Choi, who is
to graduate at Agnes Scott this year,
was a graduate of one of the first
Korean schools for girls. Dr. Averson
spoke of the strange custom the
Orientals haye of requiring men and
women to sit on opposite sides of the
building at any public meeting and
to be separated by a curtain. He de-
seribed the first time he saw a Ko-
rean girl, a graduate, stand on a pub-
lie platform and address an audience,
and one of both men and women, too.

Dr. Averson himself is in charge of
a hospital in Korea where he admin-
isters to the sick, and trains Korean
girls to help him. He told the story
of a Korean girl who came to his hos-
pital as a widow, and was in training
for some time. One morning, she was
absent. Upon inquiring, he found
that her husband, who had married
her very young, and deserted her, had
lately seen her again, fallen in love,
and taken her back. The Korean
nurses had never nursed sick men un-
til a battle near the hospital brought
wounded soldiers inside; and under the
pressure of necessity, the nurses eared
for them, and have never since re-
fused to minister to sick men.

Dr. Averson spoke again to the Stu-
dent Volunteers and others interested
Friday, March 12th.

History Majors
Entertains
Miss Hearon

Miss Hearon was the honor guest
at a dinner given Thursday night,
March 11th, at the Tea Room by the
History Majors. The affair was in
recognition of the distinction recently
bestowed on her in being chosen by
the Carnegie Endowment for Interna-
tional Peace to go abroad this summer
as one of fifty professors and teachers
in colleges and universities who are
to study conditions in Europe.

A Saint Patrick idea was carried out
in the decorations and color scheme.
Jonquils were used profusely and
Saint Patrick favors were scattered
along the table, which was made still
more attractive by the addition of
green crepe paper and candles.

Besides Miss Hearon and her Ma-
jors, Miss Jackson and Miss Cole, who
are associated with Miss Hearon in
the history department at Agnes Scott,
were present. The affair proved quite
an enjoyable one.

Many lovely dresses were seen, and
that of the honoree was especially so.
She was becomingly gowned in dull
blue georgette, beaded in cut steel,
and with this she wore a corsage of
sunset roses.

EDITORIAL

A member of the Junior Class here at Agnes Scott remarked
that in the presence of older people she often felt ill at ease, on ac-
count of the fact that she could not always be certain that she was
going to express herself in correct English. She was fearful lest she
unconsciously lapse into slang or sloven English and thus em-
barrass herself, or, be unable to express herself without the use of
this. This condition prevails among many of the Agnes Scott
girls. It is not that they do not know any better; it is simply
that they are careless, nor is it done intentionally on their part.

Chief among these expressions is that of a double negative, of
the words “ain’t” and “got” and any and all kinds of slang. Often
these expressions are used, the girl realizes that she has made a
mistake, but why worry? One reason why she should worry has
been shown above. It is a cause for worry if she finds herself
twenty years old and a Junior in college and still not able to con-
verse freely and naturally with her elders.

Another reason why she should worry is that, in this case, she
cannot wait indefinitely to correct her mistakes. As an Agnes
Seott graduate, she most probably will teach and, in that capacity,
will be an example to many children. What then if she still per-
sists in her use of slang and incorrect English expressions? Even
if she does not teach, when she leaves Agnes Scott, she takes with
her an A. B. degree, and as a college graduate she is looked upon
as belonging to the leading citizens of the country, and as a per-
son with an education above the average. As such, will she still
be permitted to express herself carelessly,

The best way for overcoming these faults, it seéms to us, is to
begin now: begin leaving off the slang and using correct, though
not stilted, English. Soon, it will come more easily and naturally,
and there will be no cause for uneasiness, no matter with whom

Mary McAliley

you converse.

In this problem of using correct language and expression, there
is involved the matter of pronunciation. All of us make mistakes
in that respect, but they are due to ignorance. The way to over-
come this is, evidently: consult the dictionary.

Mr. Hoover

Unable to Speak

(Continued from First Page)

a good routine reporter. I recall,
how, after something like four years
of reportorial work in a small city,
I obtained by some inexplicable turn,
a staff “job” on the Cleveland Plain

Dealer. Un one occasion, I remember,
I was sent out to “cover” a story that
had been “faked” or largely imagined
by a police reporter on the same pa-
per. In a news story he had men-
tioned a character which seemed to
offer opportunity for a good feature
on Siberian hardships during the
Czarist regime. This police reporter
met me while I was looking up some
data on the story and confided to me
that he had “faked” much of his ref-
erence to the man I was to interview.
I sought to make the best of it and
to get a story of some sort, anyhow.
But a long search failed to locate my
man. Realizing that I should pro-
tect my co-worker, even, perhaps, at
some risk to my own job, I, in turn,
faked a story on Siberian hardships.

When I presented the story to the
day city editor, a brusk, stuttering
speed demon, he turned to me, and,
with that uncanny sense that city ed-
itors have for digging deeper, asked
me some very pointed questions about
“the old fellow.” I sought to dodge the
issue, but it soon became apparent to
the day city editor that I was not deliv-
ering all the goods, so, with a eijacu-
lation more common to boiler shops
than to drawing rooms, he threw the
“copy” into a waste basket and hastily
gave me another assignment. I fully
expected to receive an invitation io
call on the cashier, but that city editor
was inclined to be lenient with me.
However, “faking” is reprehensible
and inexcusable and it is not tolerated
today. That is the only time I ever
resorted to it.

One day I met that city editor in a
hallway and took occasion to ask for
his candid opinion of my work. He
was painfully frank. He told me I
did very well on routine “stuff” but
that I would never, in his opinion, be-
come a feature writer.” Feature writ
ers are what newspapers are needing
today and they are coming to demand
that ability more and more,” he said.
No doubt that city editor would have

been much surprised just a few years
later to learn that after rounding out
my general experience a little fuller I
became a featur writer. Thatis, 1 was
making my living by writing features.
In fact, a few years afterward—dur-
ing the war mobilization period—I
was special feature representative of
the leading “opposition” paper, the
Cleveland Leader-News, with the De-
troit Journal, Toledo Blade, and New-
ark, (N. J.) Star-Eagle, assigned as
special correspondent to get features
from the national mobilization camps
in the eastern and southern states.

The moral of this is that editors can
sometimes be mistaken in their judg-
ment and that reporters often turn
into what they least suspect they will
ever become. Feature writing is the
post-graduate course in reporting, and
yet—

The most insignificant news story
is a feature story—or should be. News
is but the satisfying of public curios-
ity as to any happening. [If it be told
in prosaic fashion, it is just news;
that is all. But if it be embellished
with a touch of the grotesque, the un-
usual, it becomes a news feature. The
fact that a man dies may be news,
but if he dies from shock at drawing
a perfect poker hand or making a
high score at golf, it becomes a news
feature,

All human emotions, generally
speaking, are common to the lot of us.
If we just keep that fact constantly
in mind—always remember that each
of us is “human” as to emotions and
sensibilities—it is easy to become a
feature writer. I say it is easy. There
is one qualifying IF. It is easy IF
one has the natural gift of literary ex-
pression; that is, if one is naturally a
story teller. That reminds me of an
incident in the youth of a nicce who
had been repeatedly warned against
using the word “lie” for “fasehood.”
She was told that a better word would
be “story.” On her return from Sun-
day school someone asked her what
she saw and heard. She _ replied:
“Oh, everybody sing ed and then che
preacher got up and told a great big,
long lie and then everyone tummed
home.”

Cultivate the quality of observation.
Then write humanly, much as you
would write in a letter to an intimate
classmate. In short, “Be Yourself.”

It is the obvious which adds real-
ism to a story. Just as physical char-
acteristics run to type, so do human
conduct and human interest run to
type—no pun intended. The common-
place, applied to human tendencies
and put into print, appeals to readers
because it refiects familiar things,
familiar traits of the human family.
That is why the feature story, so-
called, is in truth the human interest
story.

If you will pardon me for referring
to personal examples, I will mention
a feature of which I am thinking. I
wrote the story on an orphanage in
Richmond, Virginia. I opened the
story with an idea which I thought
would arrest attention—because this
story, by the way, was a bit of propa-
ganda intended to emphasize the need
for a new orphanage for the waifs.
My “lead” to that story described the
weather, but purely as an incident to
the general theme. I did not write,
“It was raining.” I wrote something
like this:

“There they stood, a disheveled
group, those twelve or thirteen
little fellows with towseled heads
and begrimed trousers. There
was something wistful, something
inordinately pathetic about them
as they stared into the drizzling
rain that gloomy afternoon. One
of them addressed a_ visitor:
‘When do we get that new home,
Mister?’ he inquired, prodding a
bare toe into the mud and peb-
bles beside the dripping rain
spout.”

There you have the impression—a
drizzly, gloomy day—barefoot boys—
ruffled hair—and the one with his toe
in the mud as the center of the pic-
ture. That is what we call “color.”
Having read that far one wants to
goon. That element which makes us
want to read on is “human interest”
—the simple relating of ordinary hu-
man actions.

And right here, in an aside, let me
tell you that “being human” is one
of the aspects of the great. I have
had occasion to travel with a few
presidential parties on tour and to in-
terview quite a number of persons
who were, for the time at least, in the

| limelight. Invariably I found that
the truly great person was the easiest
to approach. Very well do I recall
the timidity with which I approached
the first “big man” I was assigned to
interview, and how he put me at ease,
after the first shock, by his democratic
demeanor. It is the small person who
barricades his shortcomings with an
array of attendants or who hides his
limited personality behind an armor of
false dignity. The only exception may
be a busy executive who must be
shielded from the public as a matter
of time saving.

There are two classes of features:
the news narrative and the strictly
informative feature. For examples cf
the former I refer you to the front
page of any Hearst newspaper—not
because I hold the Hearst papers as
models, but because as a class they
pay more attention to the feature an-
gle of news stories. For examples of
the second type of feature, the in-
formative, see any edition of the New
York Sun or the Kansas City Star.
I do not recommend these for style, al-
though often one finds splendid style
in them, but merely that you may
learn the distinction between the two
classes of features. You may be in-
terested to know that the Boston
Post built up a powerful circulation
from a very modest beginning simply
by the device of running daily some
kind of an animal story on its front
page. Why? Because everyone is
interested in the peculiarites of the
animal kingdom—whether one believes
man sprang from angels or from mon-
keys!

Intimate characteristics of the sub-
ject-person or the subject-place are
what interest the reader and form
the backbone, as it were, of the fea-
ture story. Such ideas are brought
lout, of course, incident to the main
theme and should not be elaborated
in descriptions, else descriptions be-
come boresome. I am thinking of a
book entitled “There Was a King in
Egypt.” It was by a well known
author whose name I do not just now
recall. The book was written long
before the discovery of King Tut’s
tomb, but its setting is in the Valley
of the Kings, in Egypt, and the nar-
rative has much reference to the do-
ings of the reigning family, particu-
larly King Tut’s ancestor, whose name
we shall omit for fear we misspell it
or mispronounce it. At any rate,
there is a beautiful romantic love
story threading it, some intrigue to
give it spice and an abundance of fine
descriptive passages. One feels the
heat of an Egyptian desert or thrills
in the magic of a moonlit night in the
shadow of the pyramids, The very
odors of the Orient seem to rise from
the pages. Yet there is so much of
the descriptive matter that it tires
the reader, but never bores. I en-
joyed the book by laying it aside for a
little while at a time, then resuming
later. And through it all runs those
little glimpses of human emotions so
common to all of us. They bring us
closer to the author’s idea and they
constitute the best sort of feature
writing.

The intimate touch is what makes
O. Henry’s stories what they are.
That gift, that talent for describing
mere folks in human terms, gave O.
Henry his place among the immortals.
His works are the finest text books
for ambitious feature writers, and for
ambitious fiction writers as well.

In conclusion I would give you a
word of warning. Certain license is
ascribed to the feature writer.

Sophomore ys. Freshmen.
Juniors ys. Freshmen.

The Sophomores came out victo-
rious over the Freshmen last week,
piling up almost as many points as
there were trucks in The Big Parade.
Nothing seemed to daunt the winning
nine and on account of this, the Fresh-
men were thinking mightly seriously
about lending the Sophs their non-
skids to keep them from sliding in
home so much. There was much spec-
tacular playing during the course of
the hour, not the least of which was
the triple play executed skilfully by
the three blue and white basemen.
Another startling incident, similar to
the time when the organ peeled pota-
toes, was when Eugenia, hitting live-
lier than ever, slung the little white
sphere so far that it sailed reelingly
through the ozone and as a climax
shivered feelingly down the keys of
the piano.

The score for this game was 73-13.

The Juniors also gave the Freshmen
a taste of defeat, the score being
33-17 in their favor.

there is a seeming disregard for the
niceties and exactitudes of rhetoric.
Yet those things, those slips we may
call them, sometimes add greatly to
the interest of the reader because they
are so humanly unconventional, so un-
stilted.

The wise editor always instructs his
“cub” reporters to write short, meaty
sentences. That is the ideal for news
writing. The feature writer knows
that, but he has learned from experi-
ence how far he may go in adding
“color” without overloading the wag-
on. The greatest danger confront-
ing the average reporter is that of
writing too much. I once save an
Associated Press dispatch to use as
an example of brevity. It was written
in 120 words. Called upon to “boil
it’ I succeeded in telling the whole
tale in 50 words. So, as in public
speaking, it is always well for the
public writer to know when to quit.

I shall conelude this potpourri with
the shortest poem on record, rather
an inelegant thing, but one given fre-
quently from the platform by that
famous humorist and ex-newspaper
man, Strickland Gilliland, the author
of “Off Agin, On Agin, Gone Agin,
Finnegan.” The poem is entitled:
“The Origin of the Microbe.” Here
it is:

“Adam
Had ’em.”

Thank you.

Results of
Interdenominational
Conference

Definite student
ready under way in a good many col-

projects are al-

leges all across the country as a re-
sult of the Evanston Interdenomina-
tional Student Conference which met
during the Christmas holidays. Re-
ports of these projects were brought

from every section of the United
States to the first meeting of the Con-
tinuation Committee which recently
was held in Columbus, Ohio.

Many of these student-directed un-
dertakings related very definitely to
the demand for Church unity which
was so persistently expressed at Ev-
anston. Thus at Northwestern Uni-
versity the Young People’s Societies
in the Evanston churches are moving
more closely together in a common
use of the project method.

Recently a representative commit-
tee outlined an experimental program
on the question, “What is your aim
in life?”
nominations undertook a wide survey
of student and adult leaders, from
Al Jolson down the line, to discover,
if possible, a guide to their own think-
ing. The sessions at which the an-
swers were discussed were livelier and
more to the point than any meeting
within the memory of these church
groups.

A similar project in under way at
the University of Michigan. A com-
mittee representative of all the Young
People’s Societies of Ann Arbor has
worked out a common program, The
first question that is to be raised by
these groups is “How wet is the Uni-
versity of Michigan?” Student com-
missions are making a survey of
Ann Arbor in an effort to gather data
on which to base a discussion for that
night.

A project of another sort is that at
Ohio University (at Athens, Ohio),
where in a coal mining community,
students, with the backing of the
churches have already set about the
job of cooperating with the mining
groups in night and week-end classes.

All the way from Massachusetts to
Oregon reports have come of the wide
spread and increasing interest in the
proposals for projects of various sorts
which were outlined at Evanston.

The Continuation Committee is
helping to start five student commis-
sions to head up project work in these
various fields. Each of these commis-
sions, although composed of students,
will have the help of an expert ad-
viser. The first commission is to un-
dertake the investigation of the edu-
cational processes of the churches.
particularly with reference to the way
in which the facts are being broad-
east, of how the Church is already,

Giddie Gossip

Dearest Giddie:

I am in the midst of a regular re-
formation. I haye spent the last two
hours in the library and have only
been “shooed” twice. And what is al-
most as remarkable, I have just writ-
ten my family without asking for
money. I guess Dad will get out the
old check book before he even opens
the letter! Well, I won’t be offended
if he forgets and sends me a check
just out of habit.

We are all up in arms over the mis-
erable weather the Decatur authori-
ties force upon us and call “Spring.”
The irony of it! But that is not
the worst of it. Dr, Good is so in-
considerate as to expect me to do
“outside reading,” just the same. He
is old enough to know that one would
catch pneumonia, to say nothing of
ruining a good marcel reading outside
in weather like this.

Giddy, Agnes Scott is about to
reach the top of the social ladder.
Namely, we are beginning to rate
with the Annapolis men. Miss Stans
field (social secretary for the Col-
lege at large) reports that the mail
carries several copies of the Log every
week. You can imagine what a blow
it was when the following incident
took place. Elizabeth Henderson
walked into the room of one of her
friends whose dressing table was
adorned with the likeness of a mid-
shipman in all the glory of brass but-
tons and asked “Who is the Police-
man?”

But like the freshman who went in-
to Piggly Wiggly and asked for a
pound of “Senior Coffee,” she will
learn. I am still your hopeful,

GIDDIE.

P. S—If you know of any sure
cure for rheumatism I wish you would
let Louise Plumb know about it. She
has been suffering from it and in
spite of the fact the many kind friends
here had various patent remedies sent
her, which the testimonials say are
wonderful, she is not yet cured.

Beth McClure, ’23, has been at the
college recently. She has accepted a
position as Sunday school worker in
Dr. Vance’s church in Nashville, Tenn.
We wish her the best success in her
new work.

Dr. McCain has been reading in
chapel letters he has received from
those alumnae whom he asked to tell
what meant most to them in college.
He wrote to alumnae who have been
out long enough to have gotten a bet-

their replies are most interesting.
These letters reveal how deep and
lasting is the love for Agnes Scott in
the hearts of her daughters.

Any bits of alumnae news would be
most welcome to the alumnae editor!

Skeyhill Speaks in Atlanta

Some of the Agnes Scott girls were
fortunate in being able to hear Tom
Skeyhill speak at the Atlanta Wo-
man’s Club, March 16, on the subject,
“Youth of Europe.” Mr. Skeyhill
came to Atlanta under the manage-
ment of the Alkahest Lyceum System,
and he thoroughly justified the repu-
tation which had preceded him. It is
reported that Roosevelt once said: “I
would rather be on the platform with
Tom Skeyhill than any man I know.”
Mr. Skeyhill proved to be an enter-
taining and convincing speaker, and
one who was well acquainted with his
subject.

March 1.—The House, by a vote of
381 to 13, passes and sends to the

A committee has been appointed
from the graduating class of Mercer,
to petition the faculty to have the

seniors’ diplomas written in English

this year rather than Latin. Some
members of the class feared they

could not read them if they were in
Latin.
Alas, and what would Bacon say?

Two students of the University of
California appeared in class with their
shaving equipment, and during the
course of the lecture, lathered theiz
faces and shaved completely. They
explained according to the right of
equality, for if girls should perform
such boudoir privacies as powdering
their noses in class, why could not
men shave?

The professor led the applause and
announced that a grade of “A” would
be given each youth for the term, up-
on the disclosure of the names of
these boys whose faces he could not
recognize under the lather.

Clever of the boys, but rather a
dangerous precedent for the profes-
sor to establish.

Professor Shull, of the University
of Michigan, has discovered why col-
lege men and women marry less fre-
quently than other persons. “Women
in general choose to marry men who
are their superiors; but for college
women there are no such men; hence
they rarely marry. The case for men
is almost the same, for men, as a class,
choose to marry women somewhat in-
ferior to themselves; but as college
men can find no such women, they do
not often marry.’—Mercer Cluster.

Co-eds at the provincial normal col-
lege must wear skirts that reach a
point one quarter of the distance from
the knee cap to the ankle. The facul-
ty has delegated a woman to meas-
ure suspects.—Bull Dog.

The Charleston began when a farm-
er armed with a two-pronged pitch-
fork and a hound dog with sharp teeth
and a nasty disposition, caught a
worthless colored man in the chicken
run. The farmer jabbed the gentle-
man of color with his pitchfork and
that brought into being the first step
of the Charleston. Then the dog at-
taches itself to the seat of the thief’s
pants making movement number two.
The dance steps alternate from that
point on with successive jabs from
the pitchfork and bites by the dog,
ending in a grand climax as the col-

Beauty in Clothes

FTER all, it is purely a matter
of beauty — beauty of taste,
beauty of design, and workmanship,
beauty in the final ensemble and effect.
And it is this type of beauty that is a
striking keynote in the new displays
of Spring apparel at Frohsin’s. Besides,
there is an added beauty in the extreme
modesty of the prices.

Spring Holidays
Approach

“One more day ’till vacation!” is
again the ery, for tomorrow Spring
holidays begin, to last six whole days.
Many are going home, others are go-
ing visiting out of town, and_ still
others are planning gaieties to fill up
the time they are planning to spend
at Aggie. No matter how the time
will be spent, there are prospects of a
joyful vacation for everyone.

All this is the wherefore of the
purchasing of new clothes, the calling
of out-of-town permissions from home,
and the hurrying of last-minute pack-
ing. “Happy holidays to all, and to
all a good-bye!”

Blackfriars Meeting

A meeting of Blackfriars was held
Friday afternoon at 5 o’clock in the
Propylean Hall. The feature of the
afternoon was the discussion of pro-
spective plays for commencement.
Other business matters were brought
before the club.

AT AGNES SCOTT

Randolph-Macon
Debaters Entertain’d

The only way to make people feel
that they are welcome is to show it,
and Agnes Seott tried to make the
Randolph-Macon debaters feel that
they were most welcome guests every
minute of the three days that they
were here.

They arrived Thursday morning at
eleven o’clock, and were entertained
at luncheon by Catherine Graeber,
who left with our other two debaters
for Sophie Newcomb later in the
afternoon.

Thursday afternoon at five o’clock
isabelle Ferguson gave a tea for Pi
Alpha Phi in honor of the debaters,
and Thursday night from nine-thirty
to ten was “open house” for the col-
lege community to meet the visiting
team at the Alumni House.

Friday morning, Rowena Runnette,
a former Randolph-Macon girl, enter-
tained the two teams at breakfast at
the tea room. Friday noon the de-
baters had lunch in Rebakah Scott
dining room, and were welcomed by
Martha Crowe, in behalf of the stu-
dents.

Friday night was one of the most
gala occasions that Agnes Scott
boasts, the Inter-Collegiate Debate.

Saturday morning Elsa Jacobsen
entertained the two teams at break-
fast at the team room, and later in
the morning the debaters were given
a delightful ride to Stone Mountain.

After a very enjoyable luncheon at
the Biltmore, given by Pi Alpha Phi,
the debaters left for Randolph-Macon.

We enjoyed having these girls as
our guests, as we always enjey rep-
resentatives from our sister colleges.

Chemistry Majors
Entertain

The tea house was the scene of an-
other “major” party last Thursday
night when the Chemistry Majors en-
tertained in honor of Mr. and Mrs.
Holt, Miss Skeen and Miss Gilchrist.

The table was uniquely decorated in
yellow and green; a bowl a jonquils
formed the centerpiece. Hand-painted
place cards and menus, written in
chemical formulae, adorned each
place. The dishes brought forth
‘vague’ sensations of having been
seen in a different atmosphere; for on
close inspection the sugar bowl was
discovered to be a dissicator, the
cream pitcher, a babcock bottle; the
salt “sellars”, evaporating dishes; and
the water glasses, beakers.

In the course of the dinner Eliza-
beth Chapman and Isabel Clark
“toasted” to the mutilated beakers,
and to Mr. Babock.

The evening’s entertainment ended
with a discussion of, and plans for,
the organization of a chemistry club
in the near future.

Folio Initiations

Folio met with Carolyn Essig and
Emily Kingsbery last Tuesday night
to initiate the new members. Carolyn
Essig presided since Janet MacDon-
ald, the president, was unable to at-
tend the meeting. The initiations were
very amusing, and afforded the new
members an opportunity to display
varied talents and accomplishments.

After the business of the meeting
was over the hostesses served tea and
eakes and an informal social hour was
enjoyed. The new member who were
initiated are:

Bettina Bush,

Mary Alice Juhan,

Esther Nesbitt,

Marion Green,

Mary Ellis.

The club will meet again next Tues-
day to elect officers for the coming
year.

Noted Journalist Addresses K. U. B.

_|Math Club Thursday afternoon, March

Mr. DeGraves Charms
Journalistic Club

K. U. B. was extremely fortunate in
having Mr. DeGraves, manager of
the Press Association in Atlanta, to
speak to the club on Thursday after-
noon, March 18. Mr. DeGraves has
had a broad field of experience in
journalistic work, having started on
a country newspaper at the age of
about thirteen, and now holding a
position of much responsibility. He
has had experience in Cincinnati and
Honolulu and has only recently come
to Atlanta from New York. He, there-
fore, is well acquainted with all
phases of newspaper work and was
able to give his audience quite prac-
tical suggestions.

Mr. DeGraves told some interesting
facts about the way the news of the
nation is disseminated by Morse ma-
chines, with 30,000 miles of wife in the
United States. A corespondent in a
village or town sends news in brief
form to the nearest office, where it is
rewritten in press-office style and then
placed on wire to the New York office.
In five minutes the news may be all
over the nation.

The noteworthy part that girls are
playing in journalism was spoken of,
and it was stated that the plane of
the girl-reporter has been raised. She
is valuable in getting information on
such cases as murder because of the
natural curiosity of her sex. A man

Maydes Chosen
for May Day

After much deliberation the perp-
lexing problem of whom to choose for
the Maye Queen’s Maydes was set-
tled. The following comely members
of the student body were selected:
Grace Boone, Mary EHa Hammond,
Catherine Mitchell, Ruth McMillan,
Sara Slaughter, Elizabeth Clark, Per-
nette Adams, Mary Dudley Brown,
Martha Childress, Mary Weems, Jo
Walker, Sara Robinson, Sara Carter,
Virginia Grimes.

and woman are often sent out on the
same case, and a combination of their
points of view is made. The chief
qualification of a good reporter is the
ability to visualize what has been seen.
This age of journalism is one of spe-
cialization, and unless one is a spe-
¢ialist in a particular branch, he will
be limited to the salary of a mere
reporter.

At the close of his talk, Mr. De-
Graves graciously offered his audience
the privilege of asking questions, and
he answered there in a clear and very

forceful way.

In the social hour following the ad-
journment of the meeting, the visitor
remained the center of interest and
spoke entertainingly of some of his
experiences in connection with the
press.

Conquers Randolph-Macon
and Sophie Newcomb
on Stadium

Agnes Scott College came out with
flying colors Friday evening, March
19th, when her affirmative triangular

debating team defeated Randolph-
Macon’s negative here, two to one;

and her negative team defeated Sophie
Newcomb’s affirmative in New Or-
leans, with the same vote. In Lynch-
burg, Randolph-Macon’s affirmative
lost to Newcomb’s negative.

This year marks the first time that
Agnes Scott has won both debates
since the spring of ’21 and ’22. In the
spring of ’23 she lost to Macon, of ’24
to Newcomb, and of ’25 to Macon
again.

The debates Friday evening were
presided over by Miss Isabel Fer-
guson, ’25, who, in her student days,
was an intercollegiate debater and
player. She stated briefly the history
of the triangular debates, and their
importance to Agnes Scott as her
only intercollegiate event. Then the
speakers arose. Elsa Jacobsen spoke
first for Agnes Scott; then Laura Lov-
ing for Randolph-Macon; Janet Mac-
Donald, as second affirmative speaker
for Agnes Seott, swept the audience
off its feet, while Susan Cobbs fin-
ished the negative argument for Ran-
dolph-Macon. The alternates were
Louisa White for Agnes Scott and
Madelien Berlin for Randolph-Macon,
The subject for debate was: Resolved,
“That China Should at the Present
Time Be Given Complete Control of
Her Customs-Tariffs and Foreigners
Within Her Boundaries.”

Mr. Rankin Lectures

That mathematics has a history be-
ginning before we first learned that
2+2=4 and a meaning even more
profound than the F(x) was proved
by Mr, Rankin in his speech to the

18.

In fact, Mr. Rankin had proof that
it existed as early as 1700 B. C. ina
photographie copy of “Armes’ Mathe-
matical for Pirates’’—the oldest exist-
ent manuscript of mathematics. He
also exhibited an English translation
of a Latin translation of an algebra
book written in 875 A. D. in Arabic.
The author of this work was Al-
Khowariz-Mi. The first book on math
published on this side of the Atlantic
was “Summario Compendiaso,” which
is written in Spanish and English.
There was also an interesting exhibi-
tion showing the value of Pi to 707
decimal places.

Another object of especial interest
was a portrait of Marie Agnesi, for
whom the Math Club here is named.
She is the first woman who ever en-
tered the field of math. She lived
about the sixteenth century.

Besides these interesting objects
which are not widely known. Mr.
Rankin traced the development of
mathematics to its present form, men-
tioning the greatest mathematicians
and their contributions.

A definition of culture which chal-
lenges our attention was given by Mr.
Rankin in the course of his speech
and is original with him. “Culture is
an intelligent interest in the past,
present and future achievements of
man.”

A great deal of enthusiasm has been
shown by the members of the Math
Club, many of whom attended the
meeting of the Mathematical Associa-
tion held at Emory Saturday.

EDITORIALS

GREAT DAYS FOR US

The past few days have witnessed the enacting of three of
the most important events of our college year. They have been
great days, and have shown us great events.

The Trinagular Debates, involving Randolph-Macon, Sophie
Newcomb and Agnes Scott, furnish a time when, more than at
any other time, except perhaps at graduation, we as a community
feel college spirit. Students, faculty, administrators hope as one,
fear as one, think as one. It is a time when we realize strongly
our love for Agnes Scott.

Annual student elections give us an opportunity to exercise
judgment free from prejudice and desire; to place whom we will
in the places of highest student authority on our campus.

The installation of Phi Beta Kappa brings with it a recogni-
tion of the high academic standards of our college, of which we
may well be proud. It also gives us an opportunity to pay honor
to those of our number who have seen clearly and realized the
true aim of a college—scholarship, or rather “enlightenment of
mind.”

Truly these have been great days. May we be thankful for our
Alma Mater, which has given us loyalty, love, freedom, ideals—in
short, “abundant life”!

THOUGHTFULNESS

A liberal arts college is not a finishing school, nor does it aim
primarily to inculcate good manners, politeness, consideration for
others—call it what you will—in its students. But a college nec-
essarily gathers together a large number of people, and the
greater the number of people, the greater the opportunity to
learn consideration for others. Would not thoughtfulness for
others be a by-product of college well worth cultivating? So far,
we lack it sorely. Come into the chapel for morning exercises,
with a heart and mind attuned to worship, and hear the buzz
of student gossip and laughter. Is that consideration for others?
Or watch a row of girls trying to march out of chapel, compelled
to skirt awkardly and with loss of time the chapel seats not turned
up, from the carelessness of their former occupants. Go out on
the campus, beneath dormitory windows which front thereon; do
you enjoy looking at the scraps of paper, the orange peelings, etc.,
which strew the ground? To see pupils viciously slinging ink
upon the floors of classrooms, one would think it never occurred
to them that others might have aesthetic appreciation. Students
use library books without turning in green cards, so that the
whereabouts of the books may be readily found; they sometimes
go so far as to remove books in demand from the library for days.
Others, through carelessness, we are sure, arouse slumberers in
Rebekah from their dreams at six a. m. by noisy games on the
tennis courts. Are college students too engrossed with higher
learning to be thoughtful for the welfare of others? We think not.

THE A GO Nt & TE

SOCIAL AND VOCATIONAL ORIEN-
TATION FOR COLLEGE WOMEN

What has brought about all the
present unrest and variety of activi-
ties of women outside the home?
What is to become of the family in
view of it all? Will anything be left
of women's traditional “graces” if the
present urge to individual achievement
continues among women? How is a
woman to keep alive her own best in-
tellectual powers, to participate rea-
sonably in civie and other activities,
and yet be mother and home maker?
These are among the questions which
are brought home to the college girl of
today in the brief but pungent study,
Social and Vocational Orientation for
College Women, by Dr. Iva L. Peters,
of Goucher College, which is being is-
sued today from the Richmond office
by the Southern Woman’s Educational
Alliance, and published jointly by that
organization and Goucher College.

The study provides a basis for a col-
lege course, but its content and the
topical bibliographies accompanying it
have value for the maturer student
and reader as well. The material is
characterized by the author as being
in the field of economics and sociology,
with the point of view of the psychol-
ogist: obviously the application of it
lies in the realm of education. It is
intended to aid the college woman in
finding herself—or, as Dr. Peters ex-
plains—in becoming “a social force
through self-discovery.”

During the academic year 1924-25,
Dr. Peters acted as Associate Coun-
selor in the service provided for
Southern colleges by the Southern
Educational Alliance. The course now
presented in this study was developed
by her at that time, on the basis of
her teaching and of her other expe-
rience at Goucher. As it was devel-
oped it was fitted into the ten years
experience on the part of the Alli-
ance itself in its service to colleges,
An experiment in such orientation
work as the course represents was
made by Dr. Peters last year for the
Southern Woman’s Educational Alli-
ances in one of the Southern colleges,
and the results of that experiment are
incorporated into the study.

General Human Need of Re-Orienta-
tion Today

No thoughtful man or woman will
deny the truths of this statement in
the introduction: “Today among men
and women there is a lack of orienta-
tion. We have, all of us, lost the
sense of sureness and certainty, of
knowing our way about in our world,
which our fathers had from the folk-
ways and from a standardized edu-
cation. In community life, in school
and college, there is an enormous in-
crease in complexity. The knowledge
we need has burst the bounds of the
old fixed curriculum and has foreed on
us a changed educational system.”
Such Aids Needed by College Women

Speaking of the need which the
woman college student has for aids in
self discovery and self adjustment,
Dr. Peters says: “With the growth of
knowledge, life inside the college as
well as outside, is complex. Without
guidance it is possible for her to come
out of college even more puzzled as
to where she belongs in the world than
she went in.” Higher education gave
her the curriculum originally planned
for her brother, with no reference to
her particular needs and capacities.
the “strain of consistency” over three
generations of college women is begin-
ning to alter this, but opportunities
for training and personal achievement
are still far in advance of changes in
mores. This knowledge will help her
to understand the anxiety among her
friends and relatives lest this addition
to her equipment may mean less of
traditional graces. We must be frank
to confess that many of these anxi-
eties as to the effect of rapid change
in the lives of women of ability have
some justification, but comprehension
of courses should aid in solutions.
Many of the problems can be solved
by an understanding administrator
who will make it clear that the guid-
ance features are not installed as a
crutch, but are there to lead to intel-
ligent self-guidance.

Safeguards the Family

Even the most anxious of conserva-
tives may take heart at the unwaver-
ing emphasis which the author lays
upon the dignity and the social neces-
sity of the family, and home-making:

“All consideration of changes in the

education of women should be related
to the study of the family and house-
hold. It is evident that the
change affects not only those who go
into the professions, but those who
serve their communities as wives,
mothers and home-makers. Colleges
and universities are taking increased
note of this fact.” Coming as the
study does, at the moment when Vas-
sar is co-ordinating a number of its
couses into a Department of Buthe-
nics, or the science of control of en-
vironment—applied especially to con-
sideration of home-making, Smith Col-
lege is busy with its Institute for the
Co-ordination of Women’s Interests,
and Connecticut College is developing
its course on the “Art of Living,” it
emphasizes strongly the growing con-
sciousness of leaders in education that
certain risks must be safeguarded in
the larger opportunities now opening
to women.

The course falls into three main
divisions. The first consists of lec-
tures by the director, and is designed
to help the individual student place
herself in relation to the world in
which women find themselves today.
The long course of economic and social
changes which have led to woman’s
work outside the home and the condi-
tions facing her today as regards
range of occupations, necessity for
training and other formative condi-
tions are interpreted.

The second section is concerned
with study of the value of the curric-
ulum of the college where the course
is being given. In this section the
lectures are provided by the depart-
ments themselves. The department
represented will vary from college to
college, according to the special cur-
riculum emphases and values involved.
The lectures will concern themselves
both with the cultural values of such
courses and with ways in which ma-
jors in that field may provide pre-
professional or possibly some profes-

sional preparation for later self-sup- |

port.

The third section of the course pre-
sents the students’ own contribution,
in the form of studies assigned, one
to each student, of a field of work to
which her interest naturally leads. In
most instances, the field assigned will
represent a group of related occupa-
tions, as for example, social work,
those based on a knowledge of mathe-
maties, or some other admitting of
an equal range of application.

The lectures are designed to be sup-
plemented by paralleled reading and
by personal interviews between direc-
tor and student or between instructor
and student as needed. These inter-
views are designed to help the indi-
vidual student analyze her own prefer-
ences and abilities with reference to
choice of an oceupation.

Although the course is intended pri-
marily to serve the needs of under-
graduate women, it can, with adapta-
tions, be used as a reading or study
course effectively by alumnae associa-
tions, college clubs and other groups,
who are thoughtfully interested in the
educational, economic or social prob-
lems of women today. Among any of
these groups, it should go far towards
bringing people of maturity—parents,
teachers and others—into closer con-
tact with what the younger genera-
tions of college women are facing to-
day. Anything which bridges that

Interesting Debate
in Chapel

A very interesting debate was held
in chapel last Saturday morning.
Catherine Graeber was chairman and
announced the subject, “Resolved, That
Agnes Scott students should go to the
preliminary debate on Monday night.”
The first and only speaker on the af-
firmative was Jack Anderson, who said
in part: “You should go to the debate
to hear four most eloquent young
women speak. I quote from Miss
Jackson, who said, ‘Miss MaecDonald’s
humorous remarks are very apropos’.
A very important consideration is that
the Faculty will be there, consequent-
ly no lessons need be studied for the
next day. Anyone interested in sueh
affairs surely deserves a merit. What
noble heart does not respond to such
a call to duty? An important con-

| sideration is that the pleasure will be

free. A great attraction will be a
preparation for the Grand Opera Sea-
son in the form of a solo ‘On a Chi-
nese Honeymoon’.”

Nan Lingle, for the negative, said
that the subject was ‘impractical,
archaic and incomprehensible—imp-
practical as it does not affect the chop
suey joints in America; archaic, as it
does not give us a picture of Chinese
life as well as the Saturday Evening
Post; incomprehensible, as even Dr.
McCain was heard to remark, “Miss
Elsa, did I understand you to say
‘From the standpoint of extra-terri-
toriality, reciprocity would be mutally
beneficial?’"’ Also, going to the de-
bate would be fostering contradiction,
which is contrary to all the rules of
etiquette. That well-known quotation
applicable here,
bliss.”

The audience was constituted its
own judge.

chasm should, even if for that reason
alone, be devoutly welcomed.

The Southern Woman’s Educational
Alliance is an organization which ex-
ists to provide authoritative educa-
tional and vocational information and
guidance for Southern women on the
basis of research. A second forth-
coming study, to be published by the
Alliance, during the late spring or
early summer, as an aid in counsel-
ing women in the Southeastern States,
is that of Actual and Possible Occupa-
tion for Trained Women in Atlanta.”
In cooperation with the Universities of
North Carolina and Virginia, the Alli-
ance is also concerned in a study of
the guidance needs of rural girls. At
the University of North Carolina the
study is under the direction of Dr. H.
W. Odum, director of its School of
Public Welfare, and at the University
of Virginia it is associated with its
Department of Sociology. From it are
to be developed recommendations as
to a guidance program for girls in
rural public schools.

New Course for
Discussion of
Race Relations

Southerners Produce Under-
standing Approach to
Problem-Long-Felt
Need Supplied

College students have long felt the
popular
course on race relations formulated by
Southern people with a thorough un-
derstanding of Southern race psychol-
ogy—not in any sense an apology for
prejudice, but an approach to the sub-
ject which is both tactful and honest.
Such a course has at last been pro-

need of a brief, discussion

duced and will be issued in a few days
from the Association Press,

The is entitled “Christian
Principles and Race Relations”, and
is in the nature of a series of ques-
tions so formulated as to stimulate
thought and assist the student in
reaching sound conclusions. It is
notable in that it does not seek to
put anything over; it is not an ex-
pression of anybody’s opinion or the-
ory. Its whole purpose is to provide
a logieal basis for honest thought and
discussion, :

The chapter headings are as fol-
lows: 1. Nature and Scope of the
Problem; 2. The Christian Principles
Involved; 3. The Race Situation in the
South: (a) Background; (b) Educa-
tion; (c) Economies; (d) Citizenship;
4. Negro Achievement; 5. The Chris-
tian Student’s Job.

A generalous appendix provides a
fine body of factual material which
will be found of great value. The book
is being brought out by the Student
Department of the Y. M. C. A., and
will be widely used by student groups.
It may be ordered from the Associa-
tion Press, 347 Madison Avenue, New
York, at 25¢ a copy.

VIEWS AND INTERVIEWS

In considering the many types of
young womanhood on Agnes Scott’s
campus, we often negiect to pay due
honors to the “jeune fille comme il
faut”; that is, one who would most
appeal to the masculine sex; not nec-
essarily one of the flapper type, but
one who various young men would
choose to “rush.”

Now, as to the difference in the at-
titude of men and that of girls on this
particular point, I will not judge; but
it is interesting to know the frank
opinions of certain prominent girls on
the campus. So when they were in-
terviewed they were asked to put
themselves in a boy’s place and name
the girl on our campus with whom
they would rather spend most of their
time.

I managed to catch Helena Hermance
“on the wing,” and it was really re-
markable how little time she took to
decide. Without any hesitation she
replied, “Edythe Coleman—that’s the
one. She’s pretty, stylish and—well,
attractive. She’s not silly and senti-
mental, either. I'd like her because
she’s sensible and knows how to talk
intelligently. If I were a boy, I’d like
her because she not a ‘gold-digger’,
and wouldn’t be always expecting you
to spend loads of money on her. She’s
the kind I’d enjoy being with, just sit-
ting at home and playing the vic-
trola.” :

Catherine Mitchell needed time to
think about the matter. I believe there
must have been something like an
elimination contest going on in her
mind, for there were so many that
appealed to her that she could not de-
cide on one. Mildred Morrow and
Grace Boone must have won the “con-
test,” for she said they both possessed
that envied air of indifference which
is so appealing to most men. “They
are both cute looking, stylish and
neat,” said the Silhouette’s competent
business manager. “A girl would
have to be neat to appeal to men, if I
were a boy.”

When I ventured into Virginia
Browning’s room and mentioned an
“interview,” a knowing smile crept
over her face and she said, “Student
government theme!” But after I had
told her the nature of my weighty
mission, she assumed a much more
serious air in order to give ample con-
sideration to the subject. ‘‘Mary
Mackey Hough would appeal to me be-
cause she is so opposite from my type.
I could really love her, because she’s
so little and dainty; and, anyway, I
would just naturally like her hair.
That color of red hair is so odd and
all boys like blondes. Above all, I
would pick her out because she is not
sentimental nor too effusive. I would
like her because of her genuineness
and sincerity.”

Isabelle Clarke decided on Emily
Ehrlich. “She’s frank and has lots of
sense. I would like being with her
because she’s a good sport and boys
like girls that are athletic enough to
be companionable.” So we see that
an active, modern type of girl would
attract Mr. Isabelle Clarke.

After I had vainly searched the

THE AG ON T 8 Pt ¢

campus and had sent various people
to page the busy President of the
Senior Class, I finally found her at-
tending a musicale in one of the re-
ception rooms of Rebekah Scott! Her
dates said they could spare her for
two seconds only; so Sarah tore her-
self away and spent some concen-
trated seconds, thinking about the
belles of Agnes Seott. Finally she ex-
claimed: “Frisky Cooper! Don’t you
think she would appeal to a boy?
She’s so original and is always coming
She's a good
daneer and is attractive-looking, too.

forth with a cute idea,

She can be serious when she wants to,
and acts so natural all the time.”

To put the grand climax to my list
of interviews, I should have a few
words from the faculty; but, when I
approached one member on the sub-
ject she was so surprised at my ques-
tion that she could not answer me.
“You ought to know,” she said, “that
my attitude would be entirely differ-
ent from that of the girls. Why, I
would probably choose the ones that
I would like to have as daughters, in-
stead of as sweethearts!”

I will whisper, however, that there
were three whom one member of the
faculty mentioned—merely mentioned,
I say—Catherine Mitchell, Mary Wal-
ler Shepherd and Helena Hermance.
“As for the rest,” she concluded, “I
really cannot limit myself. I expect
that I would be rushing around with a
good many of them, were I a man!”

Memorial Service
for Dr. Gaines

Since Dr. Gaines’ death on April 14,
1923, the Y. W. C. A. has been con-
ducting each year a memorial service
in his honor. This year the service
will be held at the chapel hour on
April 14 and will be in charge of the
Y. W. C. A. Hilda McConnell, who
was a senior at the time of Dr. Gaines’
death and whom the present senior
class remembers well as an efficient
president of Student Government, will
give a talk on the contribution Dr.
Gaines made to Agnes Scott. His
favorite hymns and scripture passages
also will be used in the service.

Prof. Dickson Lectures to
Mathematical Club

Of especial significance was the lec-
ture of Professor L. B. Dickson of the
University of Chicago, given on Fri-
day, March 19, to the Math. Club. Pro-
fessor Dickson is one of the leading
mathematicians of the world, and is
the winner of a $1,000 prize offered by
the American Association for Ad-
vancement of Science, for presenting
the most noteworthy paper at a meet-
ing held in Cincinnati in 1923. He is
the author of several well-known text-
books in mathematics, several of
which are used here. In fact, the stu-
dents in Theory of Equations had their

'textbooks autographed by him.

North Carolina College for Women
suffered a great loss when the Curry
Building was completely destroyed by
fire, Wednesday afternoon, March 17.
The loss was estimated at $80,000, of
which $40,000 was covered by insur-
ance.

Smoke from the fire was first seen
by children playing ball on the hockey
field just back of the building. At
that time flames from the basement
were breaking through the first floor.

The loss of the building itself is not
so keenly felt, for a new one was to
be constructed in its place next year.
However, the contents of the building,
insured at half their value, and par-
ticularly an art collection, supervising
teacher's records, and reports on edu-
cational surveys constitute very real
losses.

The Mercer Cluster has a unique
column entitled “Caps and Gowns,”

of the Senior who is honored, also a
brief account of his life and college
activities. It is interesting to note
that the Master Mercian, Bela Lancas-
ter, whose personality was last
sketched, has maintained a “B” aver-
age, and never cut a class or chapel
exercise. Innumerable honors of of-
ficers and club work, together with an
admirable athletic record, are added
to these facts.

taken on whether or not they would
accept the Honor System in connec-

surprise of the campus, since every
other class had voted favorably on the

Emory Little
Commencement

Everyone at Agnes Scott is eagerly
anticipating the end of this term at
Emory, for many exciting things are
going to happen then. First, there
are the Little Commencement festivi-
ties, at the very mention of which
almost every Agnes Scott girl thrills.
They last three whole days and
nights—Friday, Saturday and Sun-
day—and are the best fun in the
world (that is what everybody who
has ever been says). There is a very
elaborate program, which includes a
Tea-Dance at Forest Hills Country
Club given by the Chi Phi fraternity
Friday afternoon; the Emory Glee
Club Friday night at the Woman’s
Club, followed by the Pan-Hellenic
dance at Druid Hills; breakfast served
by most of the fraternities Saturday
morning after the dance; a tea-dance
Saturday afternoon and a prom Satur-
day night at Druid Hills; “open house”
Sunday afternoon at all the Frat
houses. Many of the fraternities are
giving house parties and have invited
their best girls to come out for the
week-end—the lucky girls! This “‘Lit-
tle Commencement” is quite the big-
gest event of the year at Emory and
it is justly so, judging from the mar-
velous tales that are spread abroad.

However, this Little Commencement
is not the only reason that Agnes Scott
is interested in Emory at the close of
this term. Another reason, and a
greater one to us, is that Miss Ruth
Pirkle, of the Biology Department of
Agnes Scott, will receive her M. S.
degree from there on Monday morning
at eleven o’clock. Miss Pirkle has
been studying at Emory for two years.
She worked on the “Nuclear Behavior
of Chlamydodon Mnemosyne During
Division.” Agnes Scott is mighty
proud to claim her!

Water Polo
Seniors ys. Sophomores

Whoever invented water polo must
have had a brainstorm if we judge
by the games Wednesday night. It
was terribly exciting to watch, but
we feel for the players. Many a time
our hearts were in our mouths because
it seemed as if any moment might
send some one to watery grave with
the green algae. However, much to
our disappointment, not a soul per-
formed for the ladies except Virginia
Sevier, who was so accommodating as
to get a cramp in one of her lower
appendages and had to be patted into
shape again. Every one seemed to
think it her Christian duty to drown
at least one opponent and if she did
not, she was not morally responsible
—she’d done her best. After all,
though, the action was thoroughly en-
joyed and we thank Miss Randolph
and Miss Sinclair sincerely for intro-
ducing it to Agnes Scott. We are one
of the first girls’ colleges in the coun-
try to have a team.

erected for the three championship
meets which will be held at part of
the sports program of the Sesqui-
Centennial International Exposition.

The pool for the speed races will
be 350 yards in length and 150 yards
wide. Because this pool is not of suf-
ficient depth to permit the holding of
high diving contests, a special pool
for the diving events will be built.
Both will be located within the expo-
sition grounds.

The leading swimmers of the world
are expected to gather here for an-
other assault on the speed records.
The first championship meet is sched-
uled for June 22, 23 and 24, when the
women’s and men’s Middle Atlantic

be held. One week later the men’s
national championships will take

April Fool Arrives on Time

Agnes Scott Van-
quishes Randolph-
Macon in College
Stadium

The value of intercollegiate ath-
letics was admirably proved Friday
evening by the thrilling encounter be-
tween the teams of Houndog Soakem
and Hop Scott. The line up was as
follows:

Hounddog Soakem.
Laura Loving—ist base.
Susan Cobbs—2nd base.

The gam al i

kick off, the ball being returned by
Loving. MacDonald was next at bat,
making a three-bagger. She was fol-
lowed by Cobbs, who showed great
skill in her position as jumping center.

Jacobsen approached the tee attired
in a striking model of white silk
broadcloth “pour le sport”. The only
jewelry she wore was a handsome cel-
luloid barrette placed becomingly on
her hair.

Loving’s outfit was of white crepe
trimmed with the new taffeta cupids
now so popular with the contingent
and very popular to her blonde beauty.

MacDonald stepped into the pitch-
er’s box in a stunning creation of
white silk, fashioned along circular
lines. The note of black in her hair
was repeated in the handsome foun-
tain pen she used.

Cobbs’ uniform was most pleasing
to critical tastes, showing “le denier
cri” in smocked panels.

White was most attractive in an
engraved white crepe.

Berlin was in an engaging loosely
belted affair, Ferguson umpired in a
flame colored evening dress with
shawl to match.

Before the game, Ferguson read the
rules of the contest prohibiting the
use of firearms, brass knucks and poi-
son gas. These restrictions being
agreeable to both teams, the combat
proceeded,

No touchdowns were made in the
first four rounds.

Loving fumbled twice in the first
inning, causing a loss of about ten
yards each time.

Jacobsen and MacDonald were in-
terrupted by the gong and penalized
for off sides. Cobbs played a master-
ful offensive, while Loving upset the
dope by her outstanding ability as a
first-class catcher. MacDonald was
the flashy quarter back with Jacobsen
at her best in the position of forward.

Several times “time out” was taken
for some wrangling on the new Chi-
nese shift system. This caused some
annoyance among the fans.

At the end of the eighth round the
trophy was presented by Coach Fer-
guson to the Purple and White for
having won the best two out of three
innings. Whereupon the affair took
the form of a free-for-all. Fans and
heros alike competed in a great game
of push-ball.

The outstanding stars of the Ran-
dolph-Macon team were Cobbs and
Loving; of the Agnes Scott team,
MacDonald and Jacobsen were noted
for their sensational foot work. The
game was a masterpiece of good
sportsmanship between the two col-
leges, and from all indications both
teams should be very strong next sea-
son as none of the line will graduate
this term. Trainers and coaches of
both teams are very hopeful for a
most successful season next year.

Take Ruth E. Pirkle’s Vegetable
Compound For That Tired Feeling

Read the Testimony of Miss Siamese Bum

Before taking Dr. Pirkle’s Vegetable Compound I fairly dragged around.
I was so nervous that I could scarcely sit through my classes. My two hours
of organized exercise a week were a continual drain on my strength. One
day a friend recommended Dr. Pirkle’s remedy, so I borrowed fifteen cents
from my room-mate and bought a bottle.

The change is unbelievable. 1 now look forward with pleasure to the
profitable hours spent in classes. My hours of “games and apparatus” are
my happiest ones. Where formerly I was obliged to hire the maid to sweep
my room, at the expenditure of twenty cents a week, I am now not only able
to keep mine spotless, but make pin money by sweeping other girls’ rooms.
Since my recovery to health I am able to sew as well as any graduate of the
“Woman’s Institute,” even without the Belarobe. My academic standing has
risen so that I am hoping to make Phi Beta Kappa. I have been elected to
office in all the societies on the campus. Any of my friends will tell you how
I developed from a demure little wren of a girl into a flaming bird of paradise.
Oh, woman, do the same today!”

This is only one of the many letters from grateful girlhood of the South
that Dr. Pirkle has on file in her office on the third flour of Lousy Hall. Dr.
Pirkle is anxious to help anyone suffering from any malady. Upon the receipt
of your name and address she will send you one week’s trial free. Send no
money. Write at once.

Big Reaction Produced at
Chemistry Banquet

Under the most rigorously con-
trolled laboratory conditions, a large
number of reagents were gathered in
the tea house on Thursday, March 18.
Sixteen Senior Chemistry majors
formed the essential basic elements
for the experiment. Mr. and Mrs.
Holt were added rapidly and Miss
Skeen and Miss Gilchrist were dropped
in more slowly on account of their
highly explosive nature. The result-
ing mixture was warmed with laugh-
ter until the call to dinner precipi-
tated firmly coagulated masses around
a large table. To each, precipitate
food was added in large quantities, an
excess being carefully avoided. Dis-
tilled water was poured in from care-
fully cleaned beakers. (See refer-
ences to commercial sulphurie and po-
tassium bichromate.) Small quanti-
ties of recrystallized Na Cl were add-
ed from evaporating dishes and cream
was produced with much difficulty
from Babcock Fat Determination
flasks. Directions as to the order and
method of adding each reagent were
thoughtfully placed near each desk by
those in charge of the experiment—
but in decided contrast to the seem-
ingly more approved laboratory tech-
ninique, the necessary formulae were
all given.

The entire experiment consumed
about two hours—the final equation
representing all the processes of the
experiment was decided upon as be-
ing:

Mr. and Mrs, R. H. + A. S. + P. G.
-- 16 C. M. equals much fun.

After the solution had remained in
dynamic equilibrium for some time, an
excess of work-to-be-done brought the
reaction to a close.

Heavy rain, snow, sleet and rain

food at the candle-lighted tables.
Drinks and pretzels were sold at the
bar. There were Several special stunts:
pirate dances by Virginia Sevier and
Nancy Crowther, and by Dorothy
Cheek, and a sailors’ hornpipe by five
young salts. The crowning event was
the Treasure Hunt, lustily introduced
by Florence Perkins and enthusias-
tically entered into by all. The treas-

earthed. The evening was refreshing
to both landlubbers and seamen, espe-
cially since the buccaneers refrained
from bloody deeds of violence.

Historic Leyden Plans Lec-
tures and Sight Seeing
Trips for Summer

True to the traditions of Dutch hos-
pitality, the University of Leyden,
Holland’s oldest institution of learn-
ing, founded by William the Silent in
1574 and located in the historic city
of Leyden, extends an invitation to the
students of this and other American
colleges to spend one week within its
halls during the coming summer. This
announcement has just been made by
the Netherland American Foundation,
17 East 42nd Street, New York.

A series of special lectures, social
events and sightseeing expeditions
July 5 to 10 have been arranged by
the University for the purpose of
familiarizing American students with
Dutch life and learning, after the
manner of the “Netherlands Week for
American Students”
served at Leyden in 1924.

Free Board and room are offered to

which was ob-

a limited number of American stu-
by the Netherland
Foundation, 17 East 42nd Street, New
York. The lectures are offered free
of charge by the University to all who

dents America

may wish to attend.

The University of Leyden, like the
city of Leyden, abounds in historic
interest. It was here that ’S Grave-
sand first introduced demonstration
apparatus into the teaching of phys-
ies, some 200 years ago. The first
set of apparatus made by ’S Grave-
sand and his friend Jan van Musschen-
broek is still on exhibition at the Uni-
versity. It was here that Anthony
van Leeuwenhoek, two hundred and
fifty years ago, performed the experi-
ments that earned for him the title of
the Father of Bacteriology and Zool-
ogy. As recently as 1908, at the Uni-
versity of Leyden, Professor Kammer-
lingh Onnes first discovered how to
liquefy helium.

Lectures in English, directly bear-
ing on these discoveries and the later
developments of Dutch scientists, will
comprise the curriculum of the 1926
“Netherlands Week for American Stu-
dents.” Dr. W. H. Keesom will per-
form experiments in the liquefaction
of helium. Dr. H. A. Lorenz will lec-
ture on “Physies in the New and Old
World”; Dr. W. Einthoven on “Thin
Treads and the String Galvanome-
ter”; Dr. P. Ehrenfest on “The Theo-
retical Background of Modern Exper-
imental Research in Holland”; Dr. J.
van der Hoeve on “Functions of the
Eye”; Dr. W. J. deHaas on “Molecu-
lar and Electronic Physics”; Dr. C. A.
Crommlein on “Instrument Making,”
and Dr. W. H. van Seters on “The
Work of Anthony van Leeuwenhoek.”

Apart from these lectures, the week
will include sightseeing around Ley-
den where the Pilgrim Fathers lived
before coming to America in 1620,
evening trips to Dutch seaside re-
sorts, an inspection of the Peace Pal-
ace and the World Court at The
Hague; the Royal Art Galleries where
the paintings of Rembrandt and other
Dutch masters are exhibited; tea with
the American Minister at The Hague;
a visit to Haarlem and the Frans Hals
Museum; excursions to Amsterdam,
Marken and Volendam, if desired.

Students wishing a more extensive
tour of Holland than will be possible
during the “Netherlands Week for
American Students,’ are invited to
communicate with the Netherland
America Foundation regarding a pre-
liminary tour which will be arranged
by the Official Tourist Office of the
Dutch government for the three days
preceding July 5. This tour will in-
clude Amsterdam and the Rijks Mu-
seum, the “Dam” and the diamond

Holland, with its tulip gardens, its
canals and its windmills, is the most
picturesque of countries. The city of
Leyden is beautifully situated among
lakes, dunes and pastoral scenes. It
is twenty minutes by train from The
Hague, but a short distance from
Delft, where Hugo Grotius was born,
and from Rotterdam, Holland’s prin-
cipal seaport. Haarlem is less than
fifty minutes away. Leyden itself is
the seat of many museums and art
galleries containing rare old volumes
and interesting paintings of the Dutch
school. St. Pieter’s Church at Leyden
stands on the site where John Robin-
son and his Separatist flock held
meetings. A mural tablet in St.
Pieter’s commemorates their depart-
ure.

“A delightful week, a memorable
glimpse into Dutch life and hospital-
ity,” said Miss Margaret Sclauch, an
American student who visited Leyden
with the “Netherlands Week” party in
1924. “If it were but possible to re-
produce the continual exclamations of
gratitude and pleasure which greeted
each new revelation of the art, the
scholarship, the friendliness and the
beauty of Holland. We were quite
conscious of the very great honor done
us by the University, which arranged
a series of lectures in English every
morning for the week.”

Applications for “Netherlands Week
for American Students” should be filed
with the Netherland America Founda-
tion, 17 East 42nd Street, New York
before June 1.—Netherland America

“Ancient of Days”—the black-robed
line filed in and was seated. Saturday,
April 10, marked the day of Hoase
Junior announcements, one of the most
impressive occasions of our college
year. Miss Daisy Frances Smith, ’24,
delivered a short talk on the meaning
of Hoase, which is a society for the
recognition of student service to
Agnes Scott. Then she announced the
following six members of the class of
20.

Elsa Jacobsen,

Ellen Douglas Leyburn,

Carolina McCall,

Elizabeth Norfleet,

Evalyn Powell,

Roberta Winter.

Formal initiations were held Monday
evening, after which the new members
were informally initiated at a banquet

in the Alumnae House.

Mr. Johnson
in Charge of
W SB Program

Every Monday evening the Chamber
of Commerce of Atlanta takes charge
of the program that is broadcasted
from the Atlanta Journal office, and it
is their custom to obtain the best
musical talent in and around Atlanta
to put over a program. Last Mon-
day evening, April 5, Mr. Johnson had
the program in charge and he took
six singers to help him. Four of these
were voice students at Agnes Scott—
Mrs. Stukes, Mrs. Daniel, and Misses
Helen Bates and Martha Johnston—
and Mrs. Johnson was their accom-
panist.

Mr. Hosmer
Addresses K. U. B.

K. U. B., whose plan during the
second semester has been to acquire
knowledge of the various departments
of the newspaper through talks given
by prominent journalists on their spe-
cialties, enjoyed the third of this se-
ries on Thursday, April 8. The speaker
on this occasion was Mr. Joe B. Hos-
mer, one of the foremost advertising
men in the South, and it was this
phase of publicity work that he pre-
sented. Using as his subject “General
Publicity,” Mr. Hosmer vividly pre-
sented the three requisites of a suc-
cessful advertiser.

’To reach the eye and the mind of
the public through this medium, one

!must be awake to all existing condi-

tions and problems, be able to think
accurately and quickly, and possess an
imagination which is at once keen and
original. In addition, a proper knowl-
edge of rhythm, balance, and harmony
in words and space are essential. Mr.
Hosmer then very graciously traced
for the club the history of advertising,
which, he said, is a comparatively
modern invention. It is the general
fendeney of the public to distinguish
between commercial art and aesthetic
art. This, he believes, is a fallacy,
there being no distinction in art only
wherein it is good or bad.

At the close of his talk, Mr. Hosmer
very kindly answered the questions of
the girls who are thinking of choos-
ing advertising as a profession. The
visitor’s manner of speaking charmed
his audience. The practical sugges-
tions which he offered were presented
in a delightfully humorous setting, so
that the hour was not only profitable
but extremely enjoyable.

On Thursday, April 15, Cole Jones,
of the Atlanta Journal, whose reputa-
tion as a journalist is well estab-
lished, will speak of the club at the
five o’clock hour. All interested are
invited to attend these meetings.

SPRING FEVER

“Light again, leaf again, life again, love again.” Spring is
here, and it is a good thing. The trees are tipped with green,
the birds are singing their sweetest melodies, and soft, fragrant
breezes caress the golden dandelions. Spring is here. Soon the
campus will be dotted with girls and books on warm afternoons;
and already nature lovers are strolling up and down the walks,
or claiming the stone bench between Gaines and Main. If you
are observant, you will notice the lustre in the eyes of once wan
students, the song on their lips, and the lightness of their step—
all because the world’s at spring again. We are particularly for-
tunate in having a campus which nature and man love to beautify
in the spring of the year. The silvery green of the graceful pop-
lars behind the power-house, the bright monkey-faced cheerful-
ness of the pansies in the faculty garden by the tea-house, the
coolness of the emerald grass behind Inman, the red dome of Re-
bekah against a spring-blue sky—all are dreams of loveliness. Our
campus in the springtime gives one the same feeling as a room in
the winter time, cozy with grate fire, candles and blue china, or
like a church on Easter morn, its white altar sweet with lilies,
and its vested choir caroling, “He is risen; He is risen indeed.”
Spring is a good thing; it breathes a spirit of peace and joy,
beauty and love.

But, like all other things, spring has its bad side. When the
fever is too high, we are likely to forget that there is not a month

before examinations, that a merit for the last few weeks may
mean a merit for the semester; and a merit for the second semes-
ter, one for the whole year. This season of the year often wit-
nesses, too, empty chapel seats at evening prayers, as though
spring were not the chiefest time to praise the Lord. And the
call of the grass is so great that we like to walk across it, even
at the expense of knocking down fences. Now, it is all right to
walk on the grass so long as everyone does not follow the same
track; but, when wires are placed at strategic points to keep un-
sightly paths from being worn where short-cuts seem especially
convenient, to bend down the wires and walk on the grass is poor
policy. It is sacrificing future beauty to present haste.

May we have all the blessings of spring and none of its banes!

PHI BETA KAPPA
) | IS 150 YEARS OLD

Honor Society Opens Drive
for Fund With Which to
Advance Scholarship—
Famous Names Are
on Its Roll

One hundred and fifty years ago
a group of students at William and

Mary College in Virginia assembled
in the Apollo Room of the Raleigh
Tavern in Williamsburg and founded
the first Greek letter fraternity
America.

in
Their first meeting was in
they
oaths of loyalty and secrecy, adopted
the name Phi Beta Kappa and cele-
brated the day with a banquet and
bumpers of what were then lawful
beverages. Later these William and
Mary College men had solemn and
scholarly debates, one of them being
the question “Whether French Poli-
tics Be More Injurious Than New
England Rum.”

Such were the simple begnnings of
an organization which might easily
have become one of those jovial but
not always scholarly “frats” which
are part of the present-day social
background of most American univer-
sities. But Phi Beta Kappa took an-
other slant—a slant which was to add
to its membership more famous names
than can be claimed by any other
private society in the United States.

The first of these names were on
the list of those who met at the
Raleigh Tavern. One was that of
John Marshall, who became a mem-
ber of Phi Beta Kappa while dividing
his time between the Continental
Army and the College of William and
Mary, and who later rose to be the
first and perhaps most important of
the Chief Justices of the United
States. But Marshall was not a
“grind”. He had one of the most
astute legal minds ever possessed by
an American, but he could also run
faster than any other soldier in the
Continental Army. It shall be hastily
added that he did not use this gift
to run away from the enemy.

Incidentally Marshail was only one
of a long list of athletes who “‘made”
Phi Beta Kappa. Perhaps the most
famous of the very recent members is
Miss Helen Wills, who is not alto-
gether unknown as a tennis player.
A victorious Rutgers football team in
1870 had six Phi Beta Kappas.
Princetons’ conquering team in 1925
had four promising candidates to the
fraternity. Captain “Nate” Parker
of the Dartmouth team was elected
in his junior year—an exceptional
honor.

A Remarkable Record.

When fame of a more universal
character is considered, the organiza-
tion’s record is remarkable. Of the
fifty who were members of the Wil-
liam and Mary chapter during the
first four years of its existence there
were two. Continental Congressmen,
two Senators, two Judges of the high-
er courts of Virginia and one Justice
of the Federal Supreme Court, in ad-
dition to Marshall.

Of the later members of Phi Beta
Kappa eleven have been Presidents,
twenty-six have been Justices of the
Federal Supreme Court, seven have
been Vice Presidents, fifteen have been
Secretaries of State and hundreds
have risen to the degree of eminence
represented by a paragraph in “Who’s
Who.” More than half of the Amer-
icans who can fairly be called emi-
nent, according to the records of the
society, have been members of Phi
Beta Kappa.

John Quincy Adams, Martin Van
Buren, Franklin Pierce, Rutherford
B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, Chester
A. Arthur, Grover Cleveland, Theo-
dore Roosevelt, William H. Taft,
Woodrow Wilson and Calvin Coolidge
were all elected to membership. So
were Longfellow, Emerson, Whittier,
Holmes, Lowell, Bryant, the histori-
ans Bancroft, Motley, Prescott and
Parkman; scientists such as Eli
Whitney, Samuel F. B. Morse and
Asa Grey; and, among diplomats,
John Hay, Joseph H. Choate and
Whitelaw Reid.

Named in Hall of Fame.

A striking illustration of Phi Beta

Kappa’s distinction is furnished by

December and swore solemn

ae

the Hall of Fame of New York Uni-
versity. Of the twenty-one persons
in the Hall of Fame who attended col-
leges where there were chapters of
Phi Beta Kappa all but two belonged
to the society. These include, besides
some of those already mentioned,
Daniel Webster, Nathaniel Haw-
thorne, Horace Mann, Henry Ward
Beecher, Phillips Brooks, Mark Hop-
kins, William Ellery Channing and
Joseph Story. Thirteen of those elect-
ed to the Hall of Fame in 1900, four
of the eight elected in 1905, four of
the ten elected in 1910 and six of
those chosen in 1915 were Phi Beta
Kappa members.

There are, at present, 40,830 names
in “Who’s Who,” of which 3,170 are
those of Phi Beta Kappa members.
The records of one college, Wesleyan,
shows that 30 per cent. of the Phi
Beta Kappa members who graduated
between 1890 and 1900 appear in
“Who’s Who,” whereas only 11 per
cent of the non-members appear.
Graduates of twenty-two other col-
leges made comparable records—2 per
cent. of all non-members and 5.9 per
cent of the members of Phi Beta
Kappa are in “Who's Who.” Al-
though students of scholarly attain-
ments are likely to become professors
and professors have more than the
ordinary chance of being entered in
“Who's Who,” these records are taken
to show that there is a connection
between scholarship and later distinc-
tion,

The variety of pursuits in which
Phi Beta Kappa members have be-
come eminent is indicated by a list of
the members who are now on the
national committee that is raising a
million-dollar fund with which to sig-
nalize the one hundred and _ fiftieth
anniversary. About $100,000 of this
fund will be spent in erecting a me-
morial building at William and Mary
College in honor of the founders of
the society. The rest will be used to
create prizes for the encouragement
of scholarship.

The chairman of the committee is
Darwin P. Kingsley and the vice-
chairman, John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
Some well-known committee members
are: Governor Ralph Brewster of
Maine, Professor Irving Fisher, Pro-
fessor William Lyon Phelps, Senator
George Wharton Pepper of Pennsyl-
vania, Senator Carter Glass of Vir-
ginia, former Governor Frank O. Low-
den of Illinois, Zona Gale, Albert J.
Beverage, Stewart Edward White,
Theodore E. Burton of Ohio, Albert
Shaw and Talcott Williams.

New York State’s list includes Bruce
Barton, Bernard M. Baruch, George
Gordon Battle, Mrs. Harriot Stanton
Blatch, Emory R. Buckner, Dr. S.
Parkes Cadman, John W. Davis, Rob-
ert W. De Forest, Dean Virginia C.
Gildersleeve of Barnard, Judge Philip
J. MeCook, Dwight W. Morrow, Fran-
cis H. Sisson, Robert E. Speer, Bishop
Ernest Milmore Stires, Albert Strauss,
Oscar S. Straus, Owen D. Young and
Harry Payne Whitney.

Besides these there may be found
on the membership rolls such names
as Charles Evans Hughes, Charles G.
Dawes, S. Parker Gilbert (the young
man chosen to carry out the Dawes
plan), Irving Bacheller, Gilbert H.
Grosvenor, William Hard, Florence

Paddock Trains for Sesqui

Charley Paddock, holder of many
records, has started
training at his home in Pasadena,
Cal., for the national senior track and
field championships of the A. A. U.
to be held as part of the sports pro-
gram of the Sesqui-Centennial Inter-
national Exposition, which opens in
Philadephia this summer.

world sprint

“T am very anxious to regain the
national 100 and 200 yards champion-
ships,’ Paddock has written to Dr.
George W. Orton, sports director of
the Sesqui-Centennial, “and have be-
gun preliminary training at the Pasa-
dena A. C. Last year I didn’t compete
in the A. A. U. championships and my
titles were won by Frank Hussey and
Jackson Scholz.”

Paddock never has competed in
Philadelphia, and eastern fans are
anxious to see him perform against

such well-known stars as Hussey,

Coney and “Truck” Miller.

ren, Alexander Woollcott and Nicho-
las Murray Butler.

Behind the campaign to observe the
sesquicentennial fittingly is a move-
ment to raise the standards of schol-
arship in American colleges and uni-
versities. One prize offered will be
an annual gift of $10,000 “for dis-
tinction in teaching” or “attainment
in scholarship,” which will be open to
college teachers and to graduates of
not more than ten years’ standing. A
number of smaller grants, of $2,000
or less each, will be offered “to chap-
ters or individuals, in aid of schol-
arship, teaching production, or con-
structive experiment.” A third se-
ries of honors will take the form of
cups and trophies, such as have al-
ready been established by the Phi
Beta Kappa chapters at Harvard and
at the University of Missouri. The ob-
ject of these honors is to give scholar-
ship at least a little of the recogni-
tion that is already extended to ath-
letic prowess.

Stimulus te Scholarship

Almost since its foundation Phi
Beta Kappa has been recognized as a
stimulus to high scholarship, although
just why it should have developed in
this direction while other Greek letter
societies remained primarily social is
hard to determine. Perhaps the
scholarly influence of such men as
Marshall was responsible. Until re-
cently, however, the society has been
chiefly an organization for awarding
honors. It had its meetings and one
or two traditional secrets, but these
were principally ornamental. Elec-
tion meant principally the right to
wear the Phi Beta Kappa watch key,
which was the symbol of a certain de-
gree of proficiency in studies.

Those supporting the campaign in-
clude members in practically every
State and territory, and in five for-
eign countries. The committee mem-
ber in England is the Earl of Balfour,
who spoke of the Phi Beta Kappa key
as “the greatest honor you could pos-
sibly confer or which we could pos-
sibly receive.” Canada, France, Egypt
and Japan are also represented.

The expected success of the cam-
paign will be celebrated at William
and Mary College next December, on
the 150th anniversary of that historic
gathering in the Raleigh Tavern.—

| Negro Progress and Achievement |

Economic Advance |

When freed in 1865, American Ne-
groes owned 12,000 homes and oper-
ated 20,000 farms. Now they own
700,000 homes and operate a million
farms. Then they conducted 2,100
businesses; now they conduct 70,000.
Meantime their aggregate wealth has
increased from $20,000,000 to $2,000,-
000,000, one hundred times as much.

In 1924 there were 73 Negro banks,
with $6,250,000 capital, $20,000,000 of
resources, and an annual business of
$100,000,000.

Thirty-five Negro life insurance
companies report $200,000,000 of in-
surance in foree on the lives of 1,100,-
000 persons, These companies have
eight thousand employes and are
wholly capitalized and managed by
Negroes,

Gne of these companies, the North
Carolina Mutual, has more than $42,-
000,000 of insurance in force and an
annual income of over $2,000,000. The
Bankers’ Fire Insurance Company, of
Durham, N. C., has nearly $10,000,000
of insurance in force.

A negro syndicate recently bought
from the Government the war-time
town of Truxton, Virginia, comprising
258 modern residences, a brick school,
and well improved streets. The price
paid was $141,000.

Invention and Industry

About 1754 Benjamin Banneker
made the first clock constructed in
America. It told the time and struck
the hours.

Elijah MeCoy, Detroit inventor, has
taken out fifty-seven patents in Amer-
ica and ten in Europe. The univer-
sally-used lubricating cup for machin-
ery is one of his inventions. Alto-
gether, thousands of patents have been
issued to colored inventors.

In 1920 there were in America 332,-
249 Negroes engaged in skilled and
semi-skilled occupations.

A big textile mill at LaGrange, Ga.,
uses Negro labor almost exclusively;
also a hosiery mill at Durham, N. C.
Altogether more than 20,000 Negroes
are employed in textile industries.

During the Great War a number of
world records for industrial processes
were broken by Negro workers.

Religion

There are in the United States 47,-
000 Negro churches, with five million
members, and 46,000 Sunday Schools
enrolling three million pupils.

John Stewart, Negro missionary to
the Indians, was the founder of the
mission work of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church (1819).

Members of colored churches con-
tribute annually $550,000 to home and
foreign missions.

The 332,000 Negro members of the
Methodist Episcopal Church in five
years contributed $1,941,979 to the
Centenary Fund of that church.

Negroes have contributed nearly
$350,000 toward the erection of col-
ored Y. M. GC. A. buildings in fourteen
cities.

The Olivet Baptist Church, of Chi-
cago, is said to be the largest Prot-
estant congregation in the world, hav-
ing a membership of 10,000. It car-
ries on an extensive community pro-
gram, having fifty-three departments
and employing thirty paid workers.
Its annual operating budget is about
$50,000.

Education

In 1865 ninety per cent of the Ne-

patience.

The Negro and the Flag

Crispus Attucks was the first Amer-
ican to fall in the Boston Massacre of
March 5, 1770, and hence is some-
times called “the first martyr of
American independence.”

A company of Negroes took part
in the Battle of Bunker Hill, one of
whom, Peter Salem, fired the shot that
killed the attacking British officer,
Major Pitcairn. All told, there were
several thousand Negro soldiers in the
American Revolutionary Armies.

In the War of 1812 Commodore
Perry spoke highly of the courage and
conduct of the many Negroes under
his command at the Battle of Lake
Erie. General Andrew Jackson high-
ly praised the service rendered by the
Negro troops at the Battle of New Or-
leans.

During the Spanish-American War,
Negro troops in the Regular Army
distinguished themselves at the bat-
tles of Guasimas, El] Caney, and San
Juan Hill.

Three hundred and eighty thousand
Negroes were enrolled for service in
the World War, of whom 200,000 were
sent to France. They were the first
of the American Expeditionary Force
to get into action, and two Negroes
of the 869th Infantry were the first
American soldiers decorated for brav-
ery.

The Croix de Guerre was awarded
to four entire Negro regiments for
heroism in action. One of these, the
870th, was commanded entirely by
Negroes, with the exception of the
colonel. Thirty officers of this regi-
ment received medals of honor for
bravery. Altogether some sixty Ne-
gro officers were so decorated,

Matthew A. Henson was with Com-
modore Robert E. Peary in his diseov-
ery of the North Pole and in seven
other Polar expeditions. He was se-
lected, according to Peary, for “his
adaptability, fitness, and loyalty.”

Three Negro athletes were among
the American representatives in the
1924 Olympic games in Paris. One of
them, DeHart Hubbard, won the
broad jump with a record of twenty-
four feet six inches. He has since
beaten his own record with a leap of
25 feet, 10% inches.

In the years 1919-1924, the Carne-
gie Hero Fund Commission awarded
medals to six Negroes for deeds of
heroism and sacrifice.

John T. Risher was awarded a prize
of $1,000 by the Government for the
best system of keeping the records of
the Navy.

“Who’s Who in America” for 1925
lists eighty-one Negroes in its roster
of distinguished Americans.

These are but random paragraphs
from a story that led Ambassador
James Bryce some years ago to assert
that in an equal length of time no
other race had ever made such prog-
ress. Contemplating the same record,
a well-known Southerner recently
said:

“The Negro is not a menace to
America. He has proved himself wor-
thy of confidence. He has been and
may continue to be a blessing. He
only needs unnecessary barriers re-
moved from his way, and a chance to
demonstrate that under God he is a
man and can play a man’s part.”

The Blackfriars, the dramatic club
of Agnes Scott College, gave a very
enjoyable program Saturday night in
the Central High School auditorium in
Charlotte, N. C. The club was brought
to Charlotte under the joint auspices
of the Charlotte Agnes Scott Alum-
nae and the American Association of
University Women.

This is the first time that the Black-
friars have ever made a trip, except
last year, when they went to Evans-
ville, Ill., to enter a national contest,
where they won third place. Char-
lotte is the only place they are visit-
ing this trip.

The program, consisting of three
well-acted one-act plays — “Aunt
Teenie,’ by Grace Augusta Ogden;
“The Darned Dress,” by Miss Marga-
ret Bland, and “Values,” by Miss Polly
Stone.

The acting of Miss Mary Freeman,
who played the part of Aunt Teenie
in the play by that name, was espe-
cially good, requiring unusual ability
to take the part of the woman who
was run crazy by the sea.

A large audience greeted the play-
ers in their appearance. Several Da-
vidson students attended the pro-
gram.—The Davidsonian.

Dr. Voorhees, secretary of the
united chapters of Phi Beta Kappa,
visited the Florida University last
Tuesday. Dr. Voorhees made his visit
for the primary purpose of investigat-
ing the educational system of the
state, especially the University of
Florida. Dr. Voorhees expressed a be-
lief Tuesday night that the University
would probably be granted a charter
soon, as the rapid rise and high stand-
ard of the college haye made a favor-
able impression—The Florida Alliga-
tor.

It might be interesting to know:
That even if Edgar Allan Poe was not
the inventor of the modern novel, the
greatest southern author, and a lot of
other things which are claimed for
him, at least he is one of the most
discussed of American writers. Very
recently new light has been thrown
on his life by letters published in a
collection. Now Joseph Wood Krutch
has written “Edgar Allan Poe.” The
book is unique in its angle of attack,
which consists in a reversal of cir-
cumstances, introducing the hero on
his deathbed, “much the worse for
wear,” and continues throughout the
text to elucidate on why he was “much
the worse for wear” at that time,—
The Cadet.

In all seriousness and with no at-

Fire at Avon

The famous Shakespeare Memorial
Theater at Stratford-on-Avon was de-
stroyed by fire recently. Although
many famous Shakespearean actors
had played in this theater, among them
Garrick, it was not modern and in
some ways very inconvenient. This
was largely due to the fact that the
architect had endeavored to make it
conform to the plan of the Globe The-

Oxford Plan for American
sities

The Student Council of Harvard
University has recommended that
their student body be divided up into
different “colleges” following the plan
used in England at Oxford and Cam-
bridge. It will be remembered that
Woodrow Wilson endeavored to intro-
duce a similar plan at Princeton dur-
ing his presidency there, but was not
entirely suecessful in this. It is not
proposed to adopt the English plan in
toto, but to modify this to suit Amer-
ican conditions. The great advantage
of the plan is that it provides for the
personal contacts of a small college
and the scholastic advantages of a
great university.

Absent!

Among those absent at the recent
meeting of the League of Nations at
Geneva was the modest dove of
peace. Indeed, her newly acquired
sister, the Locarno spirit, was soon
forced to leave. The cause of the
whole discussion was Germany’s re-
quest to enter as a permanent mem-
ber of the council and her demand
that she enter alone, opposed to
France's desire that Poland be admit-
ted; and Brazil’s determination to oc-
cupy a permanent seat on the Coun-
eil. To further complicate the situa-
tion, most of the foreign representa-
tives were members of tottering home
governments. Briand had to rush
home in the midst of a session to re-
organize the French cabinet.

The optimistic atmosphere of Eu-
rope has been greatly dampened, and
the prestige of the League greatly
lessened, but at least they are not
fighting over it—which is something.

Classical Club
Holds Meeting

‘At the monthly meeting of the Clas-
sical Club, Friday afternoon, April 16,
from 5 to 6 o’cloek, a most delightful
program was given by the Agnes
Seott Greek department.

The major part of the program con-
sisted of selections from three Greek
plays. The first was that scene from
Aristophanes “The Frog,” in which
Dionysus is seen rowing across the
Acherusian Lake, to the tune of the

Frog Chorus. The characters in order
of their appearance were as follows:

Dionysus—Emily Ehlich.

Xanthias, his slave —Josephine
Wachtel.

Xanthias’ Donkey—Mary Prim.

Charon—Caroline McKinney.

Chorus of Frogs—Classical Club.

The second was a clever dramatiza-
tion of that scene from Plato’s dia-
logue — “Lysis” — where Socrates is
questioning Lysis as to friendship.
The characters were as follows:

Soerates—Anne Todd.

Lysis—Elizabeth Grier.

Menexenus—Sarah Smith.

Pedagogues—Annette Colwell, Fran-
ces Buchanan.

The Boys—Mary Heath and Alma
Metcalfe.

The intensely dramatic prologue of
Aeschylus’ “Prometheus Bound” was
well portrayed. The scenery painted
by Leone Bowers was quite effective.

Spirit of Strength—Margaret Neel.

Spirit of Force—Annette Colwell.

Hephaetus—Frances Spratling.

Prometheus—Mary Shepherd.

An interesting feature of the pro-
gram was the singing of old Greek
songs. Sappho’s lovely “Song to
Evening” was especially enjoyed. The
program closed with the singing of
the “Magnificat” by the students of
New Testament Greek, led by Sarah
Smith and Martha Johnston.

There is no need to say that this
meeting was a success. If Greek were
always made to seem such an interest-
ing study, the Greek department
would be overfull of majors.

Poetry Club Honors
Troubadour Poet

The Poetry Club was hostess to Mr.
Alfred Kreymborg Thursday after-
noon at a delightful tea given in the
Alumnae House.

‘The members of the club felt them-
selves exceedingly fortunate in being
able to meet a man of such distinc-
tion. As a poet, Mr. Kreymborg is
radically modern, and believes in do-
ing away with conventions of form
and content in poetry. Meeting Mr.
Kreymborg was found to be most
profitable, not only because of his own
ability in verse-making, but also be-
cause of his knowledge of contempo-
rary poets. He is author of “Trouba-
dours,” which tells of poets with
whom he has associated.

It is believed that Mr, Kreymborg’s
visit will inspire more interest in both
poetry and poets of the present day.

Dr. Lilly
Speaks Here

Last week the campus had a very
special treat in the snatched visit of
Dr. Lilly, Elizabeth’s father. All of
the old girls remember very agree-
ably the week of inspiring sermons
that Dr. Lilly gave us last year during
our Bible week; and we were more
than delighted when he returned last
week and conducted prayer for us
Monday night. After the Scripture
reading, Dr. Lilly gave us a delightful
summary of a special sermon that he
had preached the night before, based
upon the verse: “And the Spirit of
God moved upon the face of the deep,”
and telling us of several yital effects
in the world today that are due to the
Spirit of God.

Memorial Service
for Dr. Gaines

On April 14, three years ago, Dr.
F. H. Gaines, presideht of Agnes Scott
College, died. He had conceived the
ideal of the institution and had nur-
tured it from small beginnings into a
On
morning of the past week, the anni-

great realization, Wednesday
versary of his death, a memorial serv-
ice to him was given in the Agnes
Seott chapel. The girls came in a
spirit of reverent thoughtfulness, and
the service was impfessive. Virginia
Peeler presided, announcing the sing-
ing of “The Life Eternal” and read-
ing of a passage from the second
epistle of Peter. Margaret Bull then
led in prayer, and Ellen Fain read
Miss

another passage of scripture.

McConnell then talked simply
effectively about Dr. Gaines, his ad-
mirable and lovable charact er,
inestimably valuable work in
the interest of the college. She re-
called to the minds of the old girls
the days of his presideney at Agnes
Seott and impressed the new girls
with the worth of the man they had
not known. “Immortal Love” was
sung, and the girls filed out with “a
deeper reverence, praise” in their
hearts for the memory of Dr. Gaines.

Club of the Atlanta branch of the
American Association of University
Women on Wednesday, April 14, at a
tea at which the Seniors were the
guests of honor. The first part of
the meeting was devoted to business
in which the plan of obtaining an
apartment in Atlanta in which the
meetings of the College Women might
be held was diseussed. Miss Hearon
then told of the work of the A. A.
U. W. and of the recent meeting at
Washington, D. C. Miss McAlpine
also made an interesting talk in which
she asked the cooperation of college
girls in dealing with children of the
pre-school age.

Tea and sandwiches were served,
thus ending a very delightful after-
noon.

Installation of
Y. W. Officers

Last Sunday, April 11th, the Y. W.
C. A. officers were installed. The
chapel, lighted with candles, gave u
very impressive atmosphere for this
beautiful service. The old and the
new officers, dressed in white,
marched in together. Virginia Peeler
made a talk on what her office had
meant to her. She said that she knew
that Y. W. had failed in many things,
but she realized that all efforts on the
part of cabinet and the students had
not been in vain. Caroline McCall
then made a talk on what she hoped
that the Y. W. would mean to the
officers and students next year. The
service was closed with the hymn,
“Follow the Gleam” and the Y. W.
benediction.

Sesqui to Hit New Stride

No less a person than the famed
“Royal Shoemaker,’ Domenico Macri,
who created footgear of distinction
for the Italian and Belgian royalties
as well as President Harding, has of-
fered to make the “Sesqui” shoe. Mr.
Macri would like to make and exhibit
a pair of shoes at the Sesqui-Centen-
nial International Exposition opening
in Philadelphia, June 1. What will
they be like? No one ean tell; but
in view of the rapid progress the Ses-
qui-Centennial is making they should
be seven-league boots.

‘Central Chamber

Commends Sesqui

to U.S.Membership| 4. peciu

U. S. Chamber of Commerce
Urges 1400 Bodies to Fa-
vorably Consider Exposi-

tion and Presents Facts.

The Chamber of Commerce of the
United States is urging “favorable
consideration” of the Sesquicentennial
International Exposition by its Nat-
ional membership.

Following a conference on Noyem-
ber 23, at Washington, attended by
Secretary of State Kellog, Secretary
of Commerce Hoover, Mayor Ken-

drick, of Philadelphia and other Ex-
position Officials, during which Expo-
sition plans were thoroughly review-
ed, the National Chamber went on
record in a resolution introduced at
the ninth annual meeting endorsing
and commending the project.

As a result of repeated requests for
information concerning the Exposi-
tion from many of its 1400 affiliated
bodies, the National Chamber has un-
dertaken to disseminate the facts of
the Exposition to these bodies, ap-
prising them of the international
scale on which the Exposition will be
held and advocating their “favorable
consideration.”

Secretaries Kellog and Hoover are
known to be whole-heartedly co-oper-
ating with the Exposition through the
National Sesquicentennial Exhibition
Commission, of which they are mem-
bers. The compelling array of facts
in regard to the progress of the Ex-
position forcefully presented by May-
or Kendrick at the Washington con-
ference admits of no contradiction
and points incontrovertibly to a great
patriotic and industrial success.

In a joirt statement issued by the
two Secretaries following the confer-
ence, confidence was expressed by
them in the ultimate success of the
project. It reads in part:

“Tt is assured by the managers of
the Exposition that it will open June
1, 1926. A number of foreign coun-
tries and American states have signi-
fied their intention of providing ex-
hibits. Work upon their plans and
construction of many special build-
ings are already under way. The Ex-
position managers assure the com-
pletion of over one million two hun-
dred and fifty thousand square feet of
exhibition space by June 1, a space
estimated as larger than that of the
Paris Exposition of 1900.

“ The National Commission act-
ing for the Federal government, will
co-operate as provided by act of Con-
gress.”

In sending the facts to the Cham-
bers of Commerce throughout the
country the National body declares
that it is doing so because of the
numerous conflicting stories regard-
ing the Exposition that have recently
been published, furthermore that it is
glad to do this to settle the questions
raised as to whether the Exposition
will be international and whether the
exhibits will portray the advancement
of industry in the United States and
foreign countries or be merely histori-
eal in character.

Quoting the statement of Mayor
Kendrick at Washington, the Chamber
of Commerce bulletin declares that
the exposition is planned as “a review
of spirtual, scientific, economic and
artistic progress that has been made
in America and the world” since 1876
when the last exposition was held.
The deep, underlying note of the ob-
servance is to be “ a solemn celebra-
tion of thanksgiving for one hundred
and fifty years of freedom, made es-
pecially noteworthy by our emergence
from the catastrophe of the World
War.”

The resolution of the
Chamber is as follows:

“The principles of civil and reli-
gious liberty set forth in the Declara-
tion of Independence make it peculiar-
ly appropriate that the one hundred

National

Kreymborg Gives

Seniors and

Charming Recital} Sophomore Sisters

re Association presented
Mr. Alfred Kreymborg, a poet, musi-
cian, and dramatist, in a very inter-
esting entertainment last Thursday

night in the gym. For a while Mr.
Kreymborge wrote free verse almost
entirely. While he was editor of an
international magazine and living in
Italy, he began to write poetry in the
“traditional form.” He says that as
a consequence he is not accepted now
by either the modern radical poets or
the traditional poets.

. His lecture was divided into three
parts. During the first part he read
several of his own poems—some of
which are written in the older verse
form and others in free verse. Some
especially interesting ones were “Tap
and Tap,” in which, after wondering
whether the noise in the roof was the
rain, or a spook, we found that it was
only a bird, and “Rendez-vous,” which
is a rhymed account of the hours and
probable excuses of the lady who kept
her beau waiting a whole day!

Mr. Kreymborg then recited another
group of poems and aecompanied them
with the mandolute, a musical instru-
ment which is a combination of a man-
dolin and a lute. Sometimes the
poems were monologues, sometimes
dialogues, and sometimes they were
written especially for children. The
accompaniment greatly enhanced the
interest of the poems.

After he had recited several poems, |
Mr. Kreymborg read one of his plays,
“Mannekin and Minnekin.” In this
play, the two ornaments of the parlor
mantelpiece made love to each other.
It was quite interesting as a satire on
the love of a jealous woman.

On Friday morning at the chapel
period, Mr. Kreymborg again spoke,
At this time, in the same charming
manner of the evening before, he
read more of his poems, most of them
humorous, and gave a short talk on
the poetry movements of this country,
including that of the Chicago poets
and of the poets of the south.

His is a personality that one does
not forget, even when memory of
what he said has long fled, and Agnes
Seott feels that the opportunity of
hearing Mr. Kreymborg speak and of
meeting the man himself is one that
is rare indeed.

Folio Sophomores
Entertained

The Silhouette Tea House was the
scene of a most hilarious Folio ban-
quet Tuesday evening, April 20. In
fact, the party was so hilarious that
the “mere spectators” declared that
the new Folio members must have
chosen
“Come, let us banquet and carouse

The newly chosen members quite de-
ny this, stating that they were but

Green, president; Mary Ellis, secre-
tary; Bettina Bush, Katherine Wood-
berry, Pearl Hastings, Esther Nisbett,

that all present had a jolly time; how-
ever, for further affirmation of the
fact, P. Stone, the Folio adviser, may
be consulted.

and fiftieth anniversary of the adop-
tion of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, falling in 1926, should be mark-
ed by a suitable celebration to be

and was charmingly carried out. The
decorations consisted of red and white
carnations combined with lovely
spring flowers.

The hostess wore a dress of white
cut velvet trimmed with rhinestones
and pearls.

Blackfriars Presents
Plays in Atlanta

The presentation of plays by Black-
friars at the Atlanta Woman's Club
on Wednesday evening, April 14, met
with a most appreciative reception.
The audience, though small, was quite
representative—in spite of the fact
that the Junior League Follies was
running at the same time.

The stars of the evening were
Mary Freeman as Aunt Teenie and
Frances Freeborn as Rexie. Elizabeth
McCallie also received very favorable
criticism of her work as Texie. Ro-
berta Winter took the difficult role of
Tanny in “Aunt Teenie,” substituting
for Edith Carpenter, who was ill
With only two days preparation, Ro-
berta gave a very creditable perform-
ance,

The program consisted of the three
one-act plays formerly presented here
at the college and also in Char-
lotte, N. C.: “Aunt Teenie,” by
Grace Augusta Ogden; “The Darned
Dress,” by Miss Margaret Bland, and
“Values,” by Polly Stone.

EDITORIAL
COLLEGE WIT

As colleges become more and more important in the history
and development of this nation, as more and more people become
connected with them either directly or indirectly, there is a cer-
tain phase of college life that increases correspondingly, and that
is its wit and humor.

Not so very many years ago there were college jokes and
college expressions that had some popularity, but they can by no
means compare their position with the position which witticisms
of collegiate origin enjoy today. Everybody reads College Humor
or College Comics. Instead of the jokes being confined to one
part of a college magazine, they now occupy an entire magazine
that is not just limited to or connected with the college, but is
spread abroad for the whole nation. College Humor may be found
at all newsstands wherever any magazine is found; it enjoys a
popularity that rivals Hearst’s Cosmopolitan, and yet the latter
has the advantage of many years’ experience with the bookstand
public.

It has come to the point, especially in boys’ colleges and uni-
versities, that the humorous magazine surpasses any other college
publication in importance; certainly this is true in popularity.
College jokes are quoted everywhere. The famous American
weekly wits, Life and Judge recognize the importance of college
humor; Life quotes examples of it in places, while Judge has a
separate department, occupying two pages, set aside for it. The
newspapers print college jokes; everybody reads them.

And what is this college wit? Is it something that appeals to
everybody? Evidently: look at its popularity. Is it universal,
then? It must be so. In a few cases, the jokes may appear point-
less because the terms used are peculiar to that college and so are
not understood. But for the most part, college humor consists of
elements that would appeal to the sense of humor of anyone. And,
by this appeal which the college thus makes to the average per-
son, the college and public are brought more closely together.
They both like to laugh. An outsider may not appreciate a poem
by just a college student; he may not know what an Annual is all
about; but he can appreciate a good joke.

Understand, we do not mean to say that the humorous side
of college is more important than its serious side, for it is not.
College is meant to offer opportunities for serious work. But we
do mean that college wit has its place and it is a good place.
“This sad old earth has to borrow its mirth ;” it is a compliment to
a college for the mirth to be borrowed from it, for this mirth per-
meates the whole nation, and the college no longer remains apart
from the rest of the country, but becomes an appreciated and
appreciative part of it.

Moreover, since college wit has universal popularity, a great
responsibility is placed on the colleges who should be careful to
have their jokes represent true conditions on the campus, that is,
not to depict conditions as being worse than they are, for that
would give their reading public a perverted idea of the college. In
this way a college’s wit and humor would be a liability rather
than an asset. Take the University of North Carolina, for in-
stance. Its humorous publication, the Bollweevil, had to be dis-
connected with the college on account of its immorality. We would
hate to think that such conditions were true of the University;
we do not believe they are. Yet a lesson has been learned: this
question of the universal popularity of colleze wit carries its re-
sponsibilities that must be carefully borne.

VIEWS AND INTERVIEWS

[VIEWS AND INTERVIEWS __|

When one begins to enumerate all
of the versatile girls on the campus,
the great difficulty looms up—that of
choosing a reasonable number from
the host of them. So the only sensible
thing to do is to get the opinions of a
few outstanding girls. When I would
ask each of them, the conflict in their
minds was so evident that I almost
pitied them for having to commit
themselves; but, at any rate, they
seem to have chosen very wisely in the
long run.

Catherine Graeber, after much hesi-
tation and elimination, said that she
considered Elsa Jacobsen the most
versatile girl in school. “She’s good
in athletics and in Pi Alpha Phi; and
just look at her ability in the Student
Government line.”

Who could be a better judge of ver-
satility than Mary Freeman, who
might herself boast of Blackfriars and
Spoken English and the Glee Club and
numerous other activities in which
she excels. “Eloise Harris,” she said,
in her most attractively demure way,
‘Gs the most versatile one I know of.
She plays the piano so well and is a
good dancer, and as a mixer is almost
unsurpassable. Everybody knows, of
course, about her importance in Black-
friars and Pi Alpha Phi and the new
French Club: made her its “Secre-
taire.’ To merely mention that she

| Giddie Gossip |

Dearest Giddie:

What a frightfully boring week
this has been! All the teachers do
is remind us that term papers are
due and that examinations will soon
be here. And all we students can
do is to bore each other with tales
of how much work we have to do and
what unusually severe cases of
Spring fever we have.

But let me tell you about Mr. Holt.
He came to class half hour late be-
cause he was detained by a revenue
officer! We were all excited to death
over the only piece of scandal that
has happened for two months, when
some puritanical person nipped it
right in the bud by explaining that
the revenue officer was here to in-
spect some alcohol for laboratory
use! Still I have hopes—and doubts.

Oh, yes, and on Thursday I had the
last chance to get my money’s worth
out of that lecture ticket which the
silver-tongued orator of the lecture
association convinced me would give
me a background of knowledge and

culture. Mr. Kreymborg read some of
his amusing poems. One was simply
ducky!

Fortunately I had no late train to
eatch and was able to stay and hear
him play the ‘“mandolute”’, which
sounds much better than its name.
We all think jazz on it would be splen-
did, and were hoping he would play
“The Sailor’s Sweetheart.” But the
most exciting part of the evening was
a treasure hunt which took the
form of a night shirt parade with
punch as the treasure concealed in
R. S. lobby.

Giddie, there is a rumor circulating
around that Decatur is to have a new
postoffice.. Now Decatur is a thriv-
ing town, Giddie, and as everybody
is anxious for mail, I don’t see why
we should not have two postoffices.
Rivalry surely livens trade, and we
need it. The present system has be-
come so poor that I only get one let-
ter in two weeks. And who knows
but what I might get one every day
if competition were keen enough.

Well, anyway, if you will write me
it will help even with the present
system!

Italians to Boost Sesqui

Italian interest in the Sesqui-Cen-
tennial International Exposition has
prompted the officials of the exposi-
zione Salvadori in Rome to offer to
co-operate with the Philadelphia ex-
position by distributing posters and

information concerning it throughout |

Italy. The Exposizione Salvadori,

is'a member of the Cotillion Club is
sufficient evidence that she is of the
‘Four Hundred’.”

Sarah Slaughter is undoubtedly the
busiest girl on the campus, for I
sought her earnestly for three days
to try to get an interview with her,
and then was only able to steal her
from the tea room for a few seconds.
She had such a hard time deciding
between two certain young geniuses
that I had to help her out, so she
finally centered on Roberta Winter.
Ro is Editor of the Aurora, Secretary
of the Cotillion Club and Secretary of
Blackfriars. B. O. Z. recently admitted
her to fheir very exclusive ranks. So
we see she is of a literary turn of
mind as well as dramatic and social.
It is rumored that Ro will have even
greater honors bestowed upon her
next year.

“Mary Riviere is very accom-
plished,” ventured Nan Lingle. “She
is good in aesthetic dancing, swim-
ming and all the other branches of
athleties.’”’ She is a valuable attribute
to Blackfriars and Pi Alpha Phi. She
writes awfully good poetry and in ad-
dition to all that is very musical. She
has a beautiful voice, as everyone
knows, but I'll bet they don’t all know
that she is studying pipe organ as
well as taking a very difficult course
in harmony in Atlanta and singing in
one of the church choirs.”

Athletic News

Board Spends Week-end at
Camp

Last week-end the Athletic Board
wandered “far from the maddening
crowd” and sought nature at her best
at camp. They brought back tales of
how lovely the shrubs and violets were
and how the week-end was made
perfeet by that last little touch—rain.
Of course it rained. It has never
failed, has it?

Saturday afternoon most of the
party played bridge, while the rest
became restfully intellectual by read-
ing. You see, camp is a much saner
place to take a rest cure than in the
infirmary—and another point is that
you can eat something else besides
tea and toast and soup.

That night, instead of dancing, the
campers played bridge a while, talked,
and did tricks till somewhere toward
the midnight hour—speakine of the
wild night life in Paris! After that,
they fell into the arms of Morpheus
and slept the sleep of the weary.

Miss Randolph participated in the
water sports for the benefit of the
enyious campers and put out the dan-
ger signals in the lake for those who
cannot swim very well.

Ruth Thomas and a few others
climbed Stone Mountain to the utter
amazement of the girls they left be-
hind them.

A very peaceful time was enjoyed
by all—for a change.

At Home.

To be brief, there were no water
sports last week. Both the Seniors
and Sophomores had to forfeit Polo
games without the satisfaction of bat-
tle, because the Seniors did not have
a full team, and the Sophomores ap-
peared with only three to the good.
The Juniors and Freshmen, respec-
tively, profited.

Spain Picks Sesqui
as Background for
Her Greatest Effort

For the first time in the history of
Spain a great exhibition of her prod-
ucts and resources will be displayed
at an International Exposition. The
Sesqui-Centennial in Philadelphia has
been chosen as the setting for this his-
tory of Spain's artistic and industrial
progress. A definite outline of the
nature and number of exhibits was
disclosed recently by Albert M. Trav-
ers, who is returning to Spain to make
final arrangements for the exhibit as
a representative of the Sesqui organi-
zation. Mr.
secretary to

Travers was formerly
Ambassador Alexander
P. Moore, who recently resigned his
post in Madrid.

Aside from the jewel casket of
Queen Isabella which once contained
the gems pawned to finance Colum-
bus’s famous voyage, an elaborate
showing will be made of every Span-
ish industry and craft. Part of the
exhibit will be used to form a unit
within the Spanish pavilion, the rest
will be grouped according to industry
in the main exhibition palaces.

The pavilion will be a reproduction
of the famous Torre del Oro, or Tower
of Gold, of Seville. It will be sur-
rounded by a moat, and visitors, in or-
der to inspect the treasures which it
will house, must cross a reproduction
of the historic drawbridge of Castillo
de Guadamur, and pass through a re-
production of the ancient and cele-
brated gates of Pamplona, the old
capital of Navarre. The pavilion will
cover 7,000 square feet and contain
48 booths.

Among the long list of exhibits
mentioned by Mr. Travers are ancient
and modern paintings, Gobelin tapes-
tries, a great collection of ancient ar-
mor and another collection of pieces
used by early Spanish explorers in
America, Ebar and Toledo work of
gold beaten on steel with workmen
demonstrating the art, antique furni-
ture, pottery, ceramics from Tala-

bera de la Deina and tiles from Anda-
lusia. Modern invention will be rep-
resented by automobile and airplane
engines of the Hispano-Suiza facto-
ries, De la Cievra and Barron gyro-
planes. Graphites from Huelva, To-
ledo and Asturias, iron ore from Bil-
bao and the Basque provinces, and
quicksilver from the Rio Tinto mines,
which produce 80 per cent of all this
metal mined in the world, will be dis-
played.

Fabrics of peasant craftsmanship
and the products of the modern looms
of Barcelona will be shown and there
will be a wide variety of native cos-
tumes, ancient and modern. An ex-
hibit of food products including
canned fish and vegetables will he
placed in the Spanish section of the
main buildings. The Spanish govern-
ment will send some of the finest sing-
ers and artists in the country to en-
tertain visitors to the Exposition and
the Royal Band of the Halbardiers
Guard will provide a series of con-
certs during the celebration.

Pershing and Sousa
Invited for Great
Flag Day Memorial

In keeping with the patriotic aspect
of this, the Sesqui-Centennial year,
Mayor Kendrick of Philadelphia, in
which city the celebration of the one
hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
the signing of the Declaration of In-
dependence will be commemorated by
an international exposition, has ar-
ranged the most colorful observance
of Flag Day ever held.

According to plans recently an-
nounced by William W. Matos, chair-
man of the committee in charge of
this event, three days will be devoted
to the celebration, beginning June 14,
Flag Day. Its central figure will be
a large parade and pageant in the
stadium the Sesqui-Centennial
grounds.

General John J. Pershing will be in-
vited to act as Grand Marshal in‘
charge of the military aspects of the
celebration and Lieutenant-Command-
er John Philip Sousa as Bandmaster.
The American March King will also
be requested by the Sesqui-Centennial
authorities to compose a special Flag
Day march to be heard for the first
time on this occasion.

Canadian military authorities will
be invited to participate in the exer-
cises, and it is anticipated that a de-
tachment of the Essex Fusiliers of
Windsor, Ontario, together with other
units of Canada’s military forces, will
be sent here.

The Governors of the thirteen orig-
inal states have been invited in the
name of the Mayor and the Council of
the City of Philadelphia to attend the
Flag Day exercises.

The occasion will also mark the for-
mal dedication of the Sesqui-Centen-
nial Exposition. The Exposition will

open its gates on June 1 with a full
showing of all the exhibits and fea-
tures, but the formal exercises of ded-
ication will be postponed until June 14
so that they can be made a feature of
the Flag Day celebration.

One of the main features of the
Flag Day parade and exercises will be
the presence of about five thousand
members of the Historic Military
Commands in the original thirteen
states, many of them dating from the
Revolutionary period. This organiza-
tion, which is known as the Centennial
Legion, has thirteen active units, one
for each of the original thirteen
states, and nearly thirty other historic
military commands in the same states
as associate members.

The State Fencibles Command is the
active member of this organization in
Philadelphia. The Centennial Legion
was organized in 1876 and took part
in the colorful parade in Philadelphia
during the early part of the Centen-

Are Students Lazy?

Dr. Charles W. Elliot once ‘re-
marked that the most important step
toward getting mental power is the
acquisition of a right method of work.
The student comes to college to ac-
quire this mental power. Seldom does
he acquire it. The fault lies, perhaps,
more with the teacher than with the
student.

As we look back over our school
days in college we cannot recall any
effort ever being made to teach us
We had to work and
we went about it as best we could.
With the exception of a few, how we
wasted time and effort at it! How
we dawdled and struggled in over-
coming the inertia of our minds when
confronted with each new task.

Our periodicals are constantly re-
peating the accusation that the major-
ity of our students are lazy and will
not study. Any one who is acquainted
with the present-day student will re-
alize that falsity of this accusation.
The student cannot be accused of
sparing energy and time in making
a deliberate effort to learn. He works
diligently for hours copying notes,
reading long assignments, writing es-
says, attending lectures. No human be-
ing is ever as busy as the students. But
the tragedy lies in the fact that his
scholastic results are seldom commen-
surate with his efforts. He wastes too
much of time in misdirected efforts.
He does not understand the technique
of study. In fact, even our teachers
are ignorant of methods of study, and
they seldom stop to analyze its true
nature so as to be able to impart it to
the student. This condition is regret-
table.

The period of college life is the
time in which the plasticity of youth
and the maturity of manhood devel-
op. College life is the student’s only
life during these years. It touches
him in every point and is the chief
moulding force during what are the
crucial years of his history. All in-
fluences received during this period
are likely to be profound and lasting.
The effects of bad mental habits are
likely to be disastrous if carried over
into his post-college, profesional, bus-
iness or social life. Without the cul-
tivation of a right method of work
he remains handicapped from the
days as a student to his very last
days—The Flat Hat, (College of
William and Mary.)

Track Meet Announced

pionship of the A. A. U. will be held

50,000,000 Quarts
of Ice Cream Will
Reach 5918 Miles

Five thousand, nine hundred and
eighteen miles of ice cream.

A school boy’s dream of the road
to heaven? No, merely the mileage
covered by 50,000,000 quarts of ice
cream packed in quart boxes, each
measuring seven and one-half inches,
if each of the visitors to the Sesqui-
Centennial International Exposition,
opening in Philadelphia on June 1,
eats but one quart of that delectable
sweet.

There have been many guesses as
to who invented ice cream. As if any-
body invented it—it just happened—
any urchin will assure one.

India, centuries ago, learned to
freeze it in a temperature nearly one
hundred degrees above zero by a
crude process of evaporation.

Philadelphia is the ice cream center
of the world and the recipe of the
ice cream for that city has been trans-
lated into every known language.

According to one account, an Ital-
confectioner, Bosio, in 1800,
opened an “ice cream” house and
made the discovery that strawberries
and ice cream or plain cream were
excellent concomitants, with the
result that there cropped up numer-
ous “strawberry gardens,” where
these sweets were served to apprecia-
tive throngs of young people.

One of these was, it is believed, in
Strawberry Mansion, now in Fair-
mount park. The mansion was origi-
nally the country seat of Commodore
John Barry, whose statue stands in
Independence Square.

Luxury or necessity? Colonial
families were permitted to eat slowly

of the exquisite concoction only on
such rare occasions as special holi-
days and celebrations. The very
promise of being allowed to have ice
eream served to better capacity for
keeping youngsters out of mischief
than the sturdiest rod.

Even the most sophisticated young-
ster who visits the Sesqui-Centennial
International Exposition will express
glee at “ice cream cones,” “sand-
wiches,” “goodies,” “sundaes”—all of
them modern offspring of ye good
old ice cream.

Will See Artists at Work

Visitors to the Sesqui-Centennial
International Exposition, opening in
Philadelphia, June 1, will have the
privilege of viewing a scene rarely
disclosed to the public when they be-
hold, through the glass walls of an
artist’s studio, etchers, lithographers
and wood-engravers busily at work on
their designs,

The enterprise will be carried out
in one of the galleries of the Fine
Arts building, and its intention is part
of the educational campaign designed
to teach the public at large that good
pictures may be obtained at prices
low enough to be within the range of
everyone and that it is not necessary
for the man of average means to own
originals in order to satisfy his aes-
thetic taste.

March 6.—Following the failure of
the French Chamber to accept his
plan for reestablishing French finan-
ces, Premier Briand and his cabinet

asked by President Doumergue to
form another cabinet. He has con-
sented, the post of Minister of Finance
going to Raoul Perit.

It is a strange but interesting past-
time to notice the various ways that
Spring fever is affecting us. It is
doing the usual damage as far as I
can hear and see, in turning our
thoughts “lightly” to such “thoughts”
as term papers and May Day. But
even with those two great subjects to
be discussed and pondered over, other
subjects of interest will crop in, such
as, what does Gene Dozier do with
her unoccupied time, for we know of
only two other outside activities she
indulges in regularly, to say nothing
of her “minor diversions.” Isn't it
fortunate Grand Opera is at hand, so
she can have something definite to
do?

Annette Carter Caldwell has a se-
rious problem to solve also. I heard her
talking the other day, and she was
quite perturbed, for she was unde-
cided whether etiquette would demand
that her mother or her husband write

happen to the “Saturday morning

are just as concerned, since they all
derive benefits from the same source.

she plan her next year’s course, so
she can launch forth successfully on

China Again.

If China can keep up the present
rate of production she will soon be
able to challenge France’s title for
having more governments annually
than any other nation. Early on the
morning of April 10, the wavering
Peking Government of Tuan Chi Jui
finally fell, due to a bloodless coup
detat executed by General Wu Pei Fu,
the leader of the Yangtze forces. Wu,
through some sort of an agreement

with the Kuominchun or people’s army,
which was founded by his enemy, Gen-
eral Feng, is now in control of all
north and central China except Man-
churia, Feng is reported to have fled
to Mongolia, and Tuan and the Pre-
mier have taken refuge in the lega-
tion quarter. Wu probably controls
more of China than any of her recent
rulers, and there is some reason for
hoping that he will be able to bring
order out of chaos.

The Senate

The dignified upper house of Con-
gress occupied some of its valuable
time last week in voting to seat Daniel
F. Steck of Iowa in the place which
Smith W. Brookhart has occupied
since 1925. Brookhart, it will be re-
membered, is an insurgent who sup-
ported the late Senator La Follette in
the recent presidential campaign.
Whether his removal is due to this
independence is not known. The vote,
which was 45-41, was decidedly non-
partisan, both the parties being split
on the issue.

A National Bad Spot

During a recent election for that
much coveted post, Sheriff of William-
son County, Illinois, six men were shot
at Herrin. This outbreak in the min-
ing town which has become notorious
for its lawlessness came after thir-
teen months of peace. Three of the
men killed were bitter Klansmen and
three were anti-Klan. State militia
were called in immediately, but so far
no arrests have been made. Herrin is
merely a shining example of prevalent
conditions due to the complete break-
down of our criminal courts, the
“strictness” of whose sentences would
not stop the weakest of crime waves.

SENIOR OPERA COMPANY
PRESENTS “READ-A-LETTER”

Take-off on “Rigoletto”
Brings Down House with
a Thousand Laughs

What Grand Opera Week has come
to mean to the great city of Atlanta,

Senior Opera Night has come to mean
to Agnes Scott College. On that date
the campus is thronged with out-of-
town visitors, eager for a glimpse of
the most recent Marion Talley, or the
newest basso. This was éspecially
true Saturday, May 1, when the Senior
Opera Company presented their New
York success—Cooper-Lingle’s “Read-
a-Letter.’ For the past three years
this event had been anticipated. By
intensive advertising during this en-
tire time the cast had become already
familiar to most of the audience.

Certainly no opera ever presented
at Agnes Scott was so worthy of
praise as this year’s production. It
was exceptional in every phase—act-
ing, music, scenic effects, dancing.
Never has Mlle. Harris been so ra-
diantly beautiful, or M. Clark so
heartbreakingly handsome. Never has
such musie been produced on the cam-
pus as that furnished by the “Thirty
Aces,” under the competent leader-
ship of Messrs. Lingle and Knight. |
Never have dancers so charmed an|
andience as did the ballet. ‘
there been such an opera. The plot
itself gave excellent opportunity for |
dramatic singing and dying. |

Act I |

Act I was a most delightful begin-
ning for the opera. The scene was a
ballroom, elaborately decorated, where
a Masked Ball was in progress. Into
this gay scene danced the dainty
ballet; and into the heart of the Hero
danced the Heroine. All went well,
until the rascal Red Cap delivered the
Hero’s masterful letter, which was
written to the Heroine, to the Hero-
ine’s Country Cousin. Then the Vil-
lain appeared with the Heroine, caus-
ing great despondency on the part of
the Hero. This act ended with the
Villain swearing vengeance on the
handsome Hero, who had stolen the
Heroine’s heart.

An especially appealing number in
this act was the aria, “Here I Am;
You Can End Your Search for Me,”
sung most dramatically by Mlle. F.
Cooper.

Act II

The second act took place at the
home of the Heroine. It was in this
act that the Heroine discovers the
letter in the possession of her cousin.
Suspecting the Hero of treachery, she
sends him away, to the exalted strains
of the Wedding March. A highly
emotional solo was “He Is Just as
Grand as a Drummer From the Fire-
man’s Band.”

Act III

True to opera, the last act was the
most brilliant. The setting was the
shore of a beautiful lake, over which
the. Hero was borne by a swan to the
fainting Heroine, just in time to be
stabbed by the villain.

This opera was as much better than’
“T.a Boheme” as a quadruple tragedy
is better than a single tragedy. Each
-actress and actor died beautifully and
dramatically. No-one could say that
the four dead went to their deaths un-
sung. The mourners formed a most
triumphant grand finale to the opera,
chanting in pantomime the ‘“‘Misereri,”
one of the best numbers on the pro-
gram.

gratulate the Senior Opera Company

Florence Perkins

and Mrs. Stukes
Feature in Recital

Florence Perkins gave a dramtic
reading of “The Piper,’ by Josephine
Preston Peabody Monday
April 26, at 8:30. She was assisted
by Mrs. Stukes. The chapel stage
was lovely with its decorations of
roses and snapdragons and pink
azaleas.

Those of us who had heard Flor-
ence read before felt that she had
added to her laurels, and those who
heard her for the first time felt that
we had an unusually delightful treat.

Mrs. Stukes was her usual charm-
ing self and her lovely voice added
just the bit of variety to the pro-
gram which made the evening wholly
delightful.

Dear Guide of Our Youth
Whose Spirit Is Truth

Mater

When far from the reach of thy sheltering arms,
The band of thy daughters shall roam,

Still their hearts shall enshrine thee,

Thou crown of the South,
With the memory of youth that has flown.

Dear guide of our youth,

Whose spirit is truth,

The love of our girlhood is thine.

Alma Mater, whose name we revere and adore,

May thy strength and thy power ne’er decline.

Agnes Scott, when thy campus and halls rise to mind,
With the bright college scenes from our past,
Our regret is that those years can ne’er return more,
And we sigh that such joys cannot last.
Wherever they are,

Thy daughters afar,

Shall bow at the sound of thy name,
And with reverence give thanks
For the standard that’s thine,

And the noble ideal that’s thy aim.

And when others beside us thy portals shall throng,
Think of us who have gone on before,
And the lesson that’s ’graven deep into our hearts,
Thou shall ’grave on ten thousand and more.
Fair symbol of light,

The purple and white,

Which in purity adds to thy fame,
Knowledge shall be thy shield,
And thy fair coat-of-arms,

A Record without blot or shame.

May Day Celebration
Is Great Success

Dances of Various Nations
Contest for Golden
Apple

The May Day celebration, Saturday
May 1, lived up to its promise of being
one of the most colorful and unusual
ever presented at Agnes Scott. All
types of dancing and costuming were
represented. The scenario, written by
Carolyn Essig, was based on a most
attractive

idea. The plot centered

around the finding of the Golden Ap-
ple of Eternal Youth dropped by
Winter in his flight from the Garden
of Hesperides, and the contest of the
various nations of the world for this
coveted fruit, which would free them
from Winter’s power.

The scene opened with the flowers
in the thralldom of Winter and his

followers. Spring and her attendants

appear and drive away the white-
robed tyrants, and awake the flow-
ers, who dance. The Elf enters, glee-
fully holding in his hands the Golden
Apple, which he has found. Immedi-
ately all the flowers clamor for it, to
the great bewilderment of the Elf. He
finally hits upon the plan of summmon-
ing the most beautiful of mortals to
judge who is the most worthy.

The Elf soon returns with the May

Queen and her maids. Hach flower
summons dancers from her nation,
who give the May Day celebration of
their countries. Dancers from the
Orient, Northern and Central Europe,
Old England, and the American In-
dians contest before the lovely Queen.

All the dancers have been so per-
fect that the Queen at last decides
that the Golden Apple should go to
Spring, since it was the Spirit of
Spring that made: each celebration
perfect. But when she starts to pre-
sent it she finds, to the consternation
of all, that the Elf has eaten half the
Apple. Spring, however, is delighted
to have youth for even a part of the
year, and all ends happily.

The scenario was presented in the
open-air theatre back of the college, a
lovely setting for a beautiful perform-
ance,

The leading characters in the cele-
bration were:

Queen—Edythe Coleman.

Maids—Grace Boone, Mary Ella
Hammond, Catherine Mitchell, Ruth
MeMillan, Sara Slaughter, Elizabeth
Clarke, Pernette Adams, Mary D.
Brown, Martha Childress, Mary
Weems, Jo Walker, Sara Robinson,
Sara Carter, Virginia Grimes.

Flowers—Cherokee Rose, Christine
Wolfe; Violet, Virginia Peeler; Cher-
ry Blossom, Alice Wischselbaum;
Corn Flower, Louise Robertson; Blu-
ette, Emily Cope; Chrysanthemum,
Lillian Clement; Pomegranate, Emily
Erlich; English Rose, Evelyn Wood;
Tulip, Maurine Bledsoe.

Winter—Lila Porcher.

Spring—Mildred Morrow.

Elf—Mary Freeman.

The musie for the production was
under the direction of Mr. Matthewson
of the Howard Orchestra, and Mary
Ray Dobyns, head of the college or-
chestra.

Physics and Math.
Mayor Party

The majors of the Physics and
Mathematics departments gave a de-
lightful party in the tea room Wed-
nesday evening, April 28, in honor of
the faculty of those two departments.
The tables were decorated with lovely
spring flowers, and dainty rose favors
held almonds. Those present besides
the majors were Professor and Mrs.
Rankin, Miss Howson, Miss Line-

EDITORIAL

FAREWELL.

To the Seniors:

Two more weeks, and the Class of ’26 will be out in the world.
Strange thought, is it not, for us who have so long been sheltered
by the loving arms of our Alma Mater, bounded by campus strifes
and pleasures, pursuing, all, one definite aim, enlightenment of
mind? That we are so soon to stand on our own, that the arena
of our lives will be broadened from a campus to a world, that we
are about to begin independent careers largely of our own choos-
ing—all these things seem incomprehensible. Yet, it is not an
eecasion for sorrow, though we do not wish to deny vague, un-
comfortable twitches at our own heart-strings as we gaze for the
last time on the cool, green campus walks, or stand within the
shadow of the tower of Main, or feel the warm clasp of a school-
friend’s hand. Nor is it a time for fear, though there is some-
thing undeniably fearful about standing on the brink of life and
gazing into the unfathomed future. For us, Commencement Day
should be an occasion of joy: it marks almost the beginning of
our active service to humanity, that for which we have so long
been in training. For twenty-one years we have tried, selfishly
of a necessity, to increase our own knowledge, to strengthen our
own characters. Now, the flood-gates of our lives are to be opened:
we will no longer be essentially receivers, but rather, givers. And,
lo, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Our courage
should be at its high-tide, for are we not the favored few, the
educated and nurtured, given all the advantage of twentieth-cen-
tury civilization? And far more than that, has it now been long
instilled into us here that he who presses near the hem of the
Master’s garment cannot go astray? Why, then, should we shud-
der at the age-old question, “Success or defeat, which shall we
meet, just over the hill?” Let every senior, before her gradua-
tion, climb up into the tower of Main, and there, looking out over
the world, pray, “Wondrous Sovereign of the sea, Jesus Saviour,
pilot me.”

From the Seniors:

But it is to you, Classes of ’27, ’28, ’29, and all unborn genera-
tions of Hottentots, that we leave the privilege of protecting her
whose honor we hold next to our own. It is yours to keep the
white ever stainless and the purple ever bright; yours to preserve
the spirit of Agnes Scott, and to maintain its high ideals. And
know always that we, as alumnae, are behind you and with you,
in heart and mind, strength and love.

be eligible; and a wide range of forms,
such as plays, sketches, stories, and

include one play, three stories, and
one essay. These writings, already
sent to Harper’s, are the following:

“Aunt Teenie,” a play in one act, by
Miss Grace Augusta Ogden. This

Students Request
Change in Handbook

Representatives from the four class-
es have met together this spring, as
usual, for the purpose of revising the
Handbook. A few technical changes
had to be made in the wording of the
Handbook because of the new schedule
this year. The following are some of
the requests made by the students.

1. That five free meal-tickets be
given to each student during a year.
The College Council said this could
not be granted because of the expense
to the college; for although the stu-
dents are absent from many meals,
the food is always prepared for them
anyway.

2. That the Grand Theatre be sub-
stituted in the list of approved shows
in the place of the Lyric, which has
been discontinued. This request was
granted.

3. That students may go driving
on Sunday according to the regula-
tions for the other days in the week.
Dr. McCain rejected this because of
the responsibility. It is understood,
however, that boarding-Students hav-
ing cars may take other students to
ride on Sunday according to rules.

4, That Seniors may chaperon at
least three girls to “Little Dec” until
8:30 P. M. The administration feels
that there is so much “loafing” by De-
catur people in drug stores that the
students would be brought in contact
with an undesirable crowd, for there
has been trouble formerly with some
of these drug stores.

5. That the students may use lights
until 10:30 P. M. This request was
granted by the administration on the
following conditions, which have to be
voted on by the student body:

(a) That the time be used wisely
and that it will not mean a half hour
less sleep.

(b) That no visiting be permitted
after lights.

(c) That no light-cuts be permit-
ted.

(d) That this statement of this
change of hours be published each
year in the Handbook for the informa-
tion of future generations of students.

(c) That the lights go off at 10
o’clock P. M. on Sunday.

(f) That callers leave at 9:55
P. M. on Saturday nights, and other
nights at 9:45 P. M.

(g) If this change of hours shall
prove inadvisable, the privilege will
be withdrawn.

6. That Seniors may come in at
10:30 P. M. with dates. This has not
yet been decided, but it may be grant-
ed if lights stay on until 10:30.

LG

Browning, which she has used with
good effect in portraying the persist-
ent and triumphant influence of a
mother’s spirit in a mountain home.

“A Man of His Word,” a short story
in dialect, by Miss Carrie Graham,
who has shown how a clever old negro
uses a bit of hypocritical philosophy,
applying it in one direction to defraud
his employer, and in another direction
to defraud his own sons, whom he has
employed. The resulting treatment is
very interesting.

“The Triumph at Grayton,” a short
story, by Miss Rachel Henderlite, who
exhibits the power of superstition over
the lives of men and women in an
ignorant mill town, and shows how
this power is capitalized for advan-
tage by those who own the mill. The
treatment of the fortune teller, the
brief but effective delineations of char-
acter, and the individualizing of cer-
tain persons in the midst of the car-
nival crowds, are attractive features
of this story.

“Proportion and Use of Dialogue in
Nine Novels,” an expository essay, by
Miss Ruth McDonald. This discussion,
based upon an original investigation
of nine standard novels, presents facts
and conclusions that are full of inter-
est.

Whether Agnes Scott wins the Har-
per’s Prizes or not, the above names,
titles and comments assure us of wor-
thy representation—and here is hop-
ing that our girls win! We congrat-
ulate them, and we hope that Harpers
may make the Literary Contest a per-
manent annual event.

| Giddie Gossip |

Giddie, Darling—

With the grand hullabaloo that
comes as the end draws near I am
rushed to death. There are only ten

days left for the semiannual bootlick-
ing contest. They say Peggy Neal’s
“drags” with the teachers simply can-
not be improved. And Edna Volberg
has the whole faculty simply eating
out of her hand. But poor me, my
initial attempt was a dismal failure.

I tried taking my history teacher to
the drug store and only succeeded in
spilling a chocolate tau on her new
spring coat!

But some of the girls are so well

don’t even have to worry about work
but let their fancies gaily flit to
thoughts of love (if I may misquote).
They say that Lillian White shame-
lessly confessed to Mr. Stukes that
she wanted twelve men on her trail
(or maybe it was trial). But Dora
Ferrell seems perfectly satisfied with
one.

Giddie, I know you will be glad to
learn that there is one organization
on the campus in which there are no
politics. It is the Classical Club. Not
one vote was cast in the popular nom-
ination for officers. Does not that
speak well for the club?. It not only
proves that the ballot box was not
stuffed, but makes it clear that no one
in that wide-awake organization voted
for herself!

They say Gwendolyn McKinnon and
Ada Knight, two loving roommates,
tried to see who could have the most
romantic adventure. Gwen left her

Intercollegiate News

It is with a great deal of interest
that Agnes Scott, who has recently
been installed as a chapter of Phi
Beta Kappa, notes the installation of
the University of South Carolina in
the nation-wide honorary fraternity.
We send congratulations to this uni-
versity of our sister state, and hope
that she will be as proud of her first
members as we were, last month, of
ours.

Professor Johannes Hoops, profes-
sor of English Philology in the Uni-
versity of Heidelberg, will conduct a
Seminar at the University of North
Carolina from Monday through Thurs-
day of next week.

Although primarily for graduate
students, anyone interested may at-
tend the Seminar meetings, which are
expected to be of general interest.

Professor Hoops is the editor of
“Englishe Studien,” one of the lead-
ing scientific periodicals on the Eng-
lish language and literature, of “An-
geistische Forschungen,” a collection
of monographs and dissertations done
largely under his direction, and an En-
cyclopedia of Germanic Archaeology,
which he started and still carries on
with a number of co-workers from
various countries. He has written
scientific articles in many fields of
English literature.

The Seminar topics are: (1) Goethe’s
“Faust” and Byron’s “Manfred”; (2)
The Idea of the Eternity of Art as Re-
flected in Keats’ Poetry; (3) The Lit-
erary Sources of the Pre-Raphaelite
Movement.

Professor Hoops comes here from
Johns Hopkins. This is his first visit
to the university. While in town he
will be the guest of Professor and Mrs.
John Booker.

In the “Caps and Gowns” section of
The Mercer Cluster this week is the
personality sketch of a most outstand-
ing senior, Willie L. Evansen. He
completed Elberton High School with
a distinguished record, and stayed out
of school for a period of five years,
saving practically all the amount
which has carried him through Mer-
cer. Here he has made an excellent
record, and will be one of the honor
graduates (The Mercer Cluster was
not sure which place on the Honor
Roll he would occupy). We feel sure
Mercer is very proud of him.

Miss Hearon Attends
Meeting in St. Louis

Miss Hearon, representative of the
Southern of U;.iversity
Women, attended a meeting of the
Board of Directors of the American
Association of University Women
from April 18th to 20th. Mrs. Aurelia
H. Reinhardt, who visited our college
this winter, is president of this organ-
ization and presided over the meeting.
(All of the girls will be interested in
knowing that President Reinhardt, ac-

Division

cording to Miss Hearon, has a new
orange hat.) The Board met to con-
sider the questions before the Associa-
tion, which meets only biennially. The
next meeting is in April, 1927. The
Board was entertained for dinner,
April 19, by the St. Louis Branch of
University Women at their lovely club
house. President and Mrs. Hadly of
Washington University entertained
the Board for lunch, April 20, at their
beautiful home on the university
campus. At this meeting delegates
were appointed to attend the Amster-
dam Conference of International Fed-
eration of University Women to be
held from July 27 to August 2. Miss
Hearon was appointed as a delegate
to this conference.

While in St. Louis, Miss Hearon
also was a delegate from the Decatur
League of Women Voters to a meeting
of the Women Voters which was held
at the same time of the meeting of
University Women. At the Gala-
Financial dinner $95,000 was raised
for next year’s budget. Present-day
problems, including the prohibition
question, were discussed by these able
women at this meeting.

Martha Broadhurst went into a

“On what account?” called the

clerk.
“On account of my not having any
money with me.”

A certain speaker Paid Agnes Scott
a very high compliment when she
said that to her Agnes Scott sym-
bolized the best type of Southern
womanhood: when the Seniors leave
A. S. C. they are usually a well-
rounded, sensible group of girls. And
yet some of them get married!

All of the girls, however, do not
commit the fatal crime immediately.
It is the opinion of most solemn grad-
uates that a year or two of work is
most sensible before marriage—even
if you’ve found somebody that will
have you!

Mellie Zellars says one should cer-
tainly work a year before getting mar-
ried. In fact, she seemed so convinced
that one should, and so emphatic
about it, that I asked her why. “Be-
cause my parents want me to” was
her main reason, she said; the other
five didn’t count.

“Tf anybody has enough money and
is really in love, I don’t see why they
shouldn’t get married as soon after
graduation as they want to,” argued
Kathrine Pitman. “But why not be

assemblies of Business and Profes-
sional Women, of students, and of
industrial girls; in fact, of every
branch of Y. W. C. A., met, gave re-
ports and discussed matters of impor-
tance. The Student Assembly was of
interest to our representatives, as it
provided for the discussion of local
problems on the college campus and
the youth movement as a world factor.
Many noted speakers were present
from all parts of the country and
called attention to national and inter-
national problems relating to the Y.
W. C. A. as an organization of women.

The representatives were enter-
tained during their stay in Milwaukee
at several teas and receptions. An
especially interesting social affair was
the Student Industrial Luncheon, at
which Mr. Hapgood, International La-
bor Organizer, spoke of the mining
conditions in European and Asiatic
countries.

According to all reports, a very in-
teresting day was spent in Chicago
“doing the town” according to all the
rules laid down by Baedeker. The
itinerary included drives around the
lake and Sheridan Drive, with stops at
Hull House, the Museum of Natural
History, and Marshall Field’s.

Our representatives feel that the
conference was of great inspirational
value in carrying on the work of Y.
W. C. A. at Agnes Scott.

| VIEWS AND INTERVIEWS |

K, P. both want to stay at home with
their mothers during the time.

“T think a girl ought to work for
two or three years before making such
a fatal move as getting married,”
Dora Ferrell ventured. ‘She needs to
know how it feels to be on her own
hook—and to experience the freedom
that simply permeates the working
world. If she’s so much in love that
she just can’t live without him, and if
he has enough money, then she ought
to go ahead and take the ‘all-impor-
tant’ step.”

Carolyn Smith, of the class of 25,
ought to know, because she’s been
working at the Retail Credit for a
year, and now that she’s decided to
marry him at last, she can’t make
herself give up her job. So she’s going
to stay there, even afterwards.

Clearly, it would seem that all grad-
uates of Agnes Scott would not agree
with Edythe Coleman in saying that
she could live very happily on two
hundred dollars a month. Don’t be
alarmed at that statement, and indig-
nantly say “Well, I imagine she

reasonable about it?” she continued. | could!” for you must remember that
“If the poor boy isn’t making enough | she is talking about two people. And
to hardly care for one person, much| yet, when we consider that Agnes

Scott girls have a reputation for get-
ting married soon, and especially

You may rest assured that Betty | when we remember that Red Bowers
Little is resolved to have a good time; already has a gorgeous solitaire, we

must conclude that most of the girls
evidently change their minds about
waiting, as soon as the right one
comes along!

Fire Heroine is
First to Enter
Youth Award

An eighteen year old girl, heroine
of a recent Philadelphia fire,
achieved fresh honors by becoming the
first candidate for the American
Youth Award offered by the Directors
of the Sesqui-Centennial International
Exposition, and as such was formally
presented to Mayor Kendrick, Presi-
dent of the Exposition, which will be
held in Philadelphia from June 1 to

December 1.

She is Miss Edith May Adams of
Barrington, N. J., and was presented
to the Mayor by one of her sponsors,
Mrs. Nancy R. Prummer, Captain of
Barrington Girl Scout Troop No. 1.
Her other sponsor was the Rev. Ben-
jamin F. Allgood of Barrington.
These two persons were so impressed

has

by Miss Adams’ qualifications for one |

of the coveted awards of the Sesqui-
Centennial Exposition that they lost
no time in forwarding her entry.

Miss Adams displayed one of her
characteristics, courage, when she re-
mained in a burning building at 235
North Third Street, Philadelphia,
where she is employed as a clerk, and
assisted a physician in administering
first aid to several injured men.

Despite the handicap of threatened
ill health Miss Adams has made a
wonderful record in the Girl Scouts
and is now one of the leaders of that
organization in her State. She has be-
come eligible and is now a candidate
for the highest honor in the gift of
the Girl Scouts, the coveted Golden
Eaglet. Of the 200,000 Girl Scouts in
the United States only 185 have re-
ceived this honor. It means that the
recipient has become proficient and
passed the tests in 21 difficult scout
activities.

The American Youth Award, for
which Miss Adams has become a can-
didate, has been established by the
directors of the Exposition as a trib-
ute of honor to the Youth of Amer-
ica. Hach State and the District of
Columbia has been invited to select
one girl and one boy who represent
in the highest degree the best ideals
of American youth. Upon these, the
American Youth Award will be con-
ferred in each State.

Entry forms are now being distrib-
uted from Sesqui-Centennial head-
quarters, Philadelphia, to all who re-
quest them.

THE. AGONI STIC

Alfred Kreymborg
Writes to Agnes Scott

Miss Laney has received a most
charming letter from Alfred Kreym-
borg, who gave a troubadour recital
here a few weeks ago. The parts of
the letter especially interesting to the
students are given:

“Dear Miss Laney:

“T had a most delightful time at
Agnes Scott and cannot begin to
thank you for your part in the gen-
erous hospitality accorded to me. My
one regret consists in the circum-
stance that I had to leave Decatur so
soon. But I shall never forget Agnes
Scott. Meanwhile, I look forward to
a return some time when Mrs. Kreym-
borg can accompany me. Fortunately,
she is now in much better health. We
leave for the West in about ten days.

“If any of the girls wish to write
me, I shall always be glad to hear
from them. They were certainly a re-
markable audience and you are to be
congratulated for the intelligent train-
ing they have received.

“With kindest regards to you all, in
which Mrs. Kreymborg joins me.

“Faithfully yours,
“ALFRED KREYMBORG.”

| Social News |

We are mighty proud to see Jose-
phine Houston back from her wonder-
ful trip to Washington. It is rumored
that she lunched, “tead,’ dinnered
and danced with everybody of note in
Washington, even “Cal” himself. Dis-
tinguished names roll so freely from
her tongue that it astounds all the
simple, envious souls around her.

Frances Boyd, of Sweetwater,
Tenn., was the guest of Mary Hedrick
and Ruth Evans Massengale last week.
Frances came to Atlanta for opera,
then she paid Agnes Scott a visit.

The tea room was the scene of a
yery lively and lovely; banquet last
Wednesday night. The Physics and
Math Senior majors entertained Mr.
and Mrs. Rankin, Miss Cora Morton,
Miss Howson and Miss Lineberry.

Much fun must have been had at
Conyers, Ga., last week-end—“Billy”
Cowan had a house party. Those who
attended were Elise Gay, Mary Free-
man, Evelyn Kennedy, Mary Ella
Hammond, and Elizabeth Cole.

Lillian Le Conte and Louise Sher-
fesee spent last week-end in Clayton,
Georgia.

_ Several Seniors entertained their

Sophomore sisters with a lovely din-
ner party in the tea room Wednesday
night. The table was decorated with
lilies of the valley, roses and pansies,
and the place cards were most un-
usual and attractive. The party in-
cluded Elizabeth Little and Anais
Jones, Edythe Carpenter and Julia
Muliss, Gertrude Green and Virginia
Norris, and Grace Boone and Jane
Small.

Mellie Zellars spent the week-end
at her home in Grantville, Ga.

The Aurora staff entertained them-
selves with a dinner party in the tea
room Wednesday night.

A Mermaid’s Song

Plunging down in the deep and cooling
waters,
Feeling pride in my skilled and
easy gliding.
Seek I others of Neptune’s graceful
daughters,
Gaily playing at seeking them a-hid-
ing.

Happy here in the carefree ocean’s
surging,
Heedless ever of rock or stormy
billow,
Always feel we the restless ocean
urging
Play and frolic until we seek our
pillow.

Who so happy as Neptune’s sportive

daughters ?
Who so heedless of any care and
trouble?
Only Neptune with yielding, sooth-
ing waters

Changes care to the wavelet’s light-
est bubble.

This poem is written in hendeca-
syllables, a favorite meter of Catullus.

Wad of Chewing Gum
Nearly Beats Dickens

One of the most peculiar happen-
ings ever to occur in the history of
basketball, took place Friday night,
Febriary 12, during the State-Georgia
Tech game.

The game was going fast and furi-
ous; Captain Fletcher Dickens was
playing an excellent game and giving
a wad of chewing gum a “fit.” He

slowly began to wane. Then he quit.

The referee, noticing Dickens’ extra-
ordinary behavior, blew the whistle
for time out. Dickens walked over to
“Doe” Sermon, picked up a_ towel,
jammed one end into his mouth,
worked it back and forth on the roof
of his mouth a little, jerked it out
with a wad of gum attached, gasped,
grinned, and went back onto the court
ready to start into the game again.

That wad of gum had gotten stuck
into the roof of his mouth so tight
that his salivary glands became
clogged and his mouth became dry,
besides it was cutting his wind and
slowly suffocating him. Perhaps he
will tie a string to his spearmint
henceforth, or park it behind his ear
until after he finishes romping and
cavorting around over the basketball
court.—The Technician.

Head of Sesqui is Honored
By Association of Indians

Under date of the Hungry Moon
and the Twenty-fifth Sun, in the year
of the Great Suns, 1926, the American
Indian Association, Inc., has written
to Mayor W. Freeland Kendrick, pres-
ident of the Sesqui-Centennial Exhibi-
tion Association, bestowing upon him
honorary membership in the Order
and assuring him of acceptance of his
invitation to visit in Philadelphia dur-
ing the Exposition, which will be held
from June 1 to December 1.

In General

The week has been characterized by
an unusual amount of financial activ-
ity and some prohibition flutters, with,
of course, the inevitable bit of excite-
ment furnished by Mussolini. The debt
settlements are of great importance
and also the banking plan for the
liquidation of all international indebt-
edness,

French Debt Offer

The French government through its
ambassador, M. Berenger, has made a
new debt offer, the terms of which are
more favorable than those offered by
M. Caillaux last October. The offer
is understood to be for $6,750,000,000,
spread over a period of 62 years. The
American commission has asked the
French to revise their offer so that
the initial payments will be larger
and it is hoped that this will be pos-
sible.

The Senate has ratified the Belgian
Debt Settlement by a vote of 55-22.
This leaves France as one of the few
limportant European countries that
|has not effected a settlement.

Bankers’ Scheme

While the politicians of the world
have been wrangling over the finan-
cial issue and causing a great deal of
national and international irritation
thereby, the bankers have quietly at-
.tempted to work out a feasible plan
for the payment of German repara-
tions and the outstanding war debts.
The plan is by no means complete and
its backers do not hope to have it ac-
cepted for at least three years, but
the work goes steadily on. The salient
features of the scheme are the selling
of German railroad and industrial se-
curities to the amount of $3,000,000,-
000 in international markets. The pro-
ceeds from the sale will be given to
the allies as reparations payments,
and they in turn will use them to pay
Uncle Sam. If such a scheme is feas-
ible it will render a great service to
the cause of peace by separating for-
ever the financial issue from the polit-
ical. Their union has brought only
hostility and misunderstanding in the
past.

letin have expressed themselves as
being opposed to intercollegiate foot-
ball because it is conducive to drink-
ing, dishonesty and distortion of
values. The professors wish to limit
the intercollegiate playing of any man
to one year, and to have only four
contests a year, all under faculty
coaching. Their statement only goes
to show how widespread and deter-
mined is the demand for some radical
change in the most popular of inter-
collegiate games.
More Drops

The Congressional inquiry into the
enforcement . of the Volstead Act
seems only to have muddled the pub-
lic mind—if such a thing exists. It
has been productive of more heat than
light, for both sides have contradicted
each other point blank. The Drys
have introduced the testimony of
Women’s Clubs, the Salvation Army,
labor unions, churches and economists
to prove that health, industry, and
finances have benefited by prohibition.
A message from the United Church of
Canada meets the statements of the
Wets that the Canadian system of
government-owned saloons has been
successful by the fact that it has
brought no improvement. Irving
Fisher, economist from Yale, stated
that if it cost the government $1,000,-
000,000 to enforce prohibition, we
would still be saving money because
our annual gain in national wealth
would be $6,000,000,000. Thus far the
Wets have only proved that there are

difficulties in the way of enforcement |

and the Drys seem to have a decided
edge in the proof as to whether the
law can actually be enforced.

Again

The condition of free speech in Italy
has been aptly illustrated by the re-
cent arrest of John Adams Abbott,
Harvard, ’25, on the charge of having
spoken disrespectfully of Mussolini in
public. The penalty for this is a fine
or imprisonment. Mr, Abbott's family
elaim that the whole affair was a
frame-up. While waiting in line to
buy tickets to the Vatican Museum,
Mr. Abbott got into an altercation
with an Italian, but not over Musso-
lini. Later the Italian called him out
of his hotel and got into a fight with
him. When the police arrived the
Italians claimed that Mr. Abbott had
spoken Sslightingly of the Duce. The
American consul has the affair in
hand and it is not likely that the out-
come will be serious, but the incident
is another straw to show the way
Mussolini’s ambitions are blowing.

S. Gurgel do Amoral, Brazilian Am-
bassador to the United States, has an-
nounced that his government has des-
ignated November 15 as “Brazil Day”
at the Sesqui-Centennial International
Exposition to be held in Philadelphia
from June 1 to December 1.
