Plans for Campaign
Being Formulated

Request Made of General
Education Board.

Most of us have heard rumors of
the campaign to raise funds for new
buildings, etc., that is in progress now.
The facts of the campaign are these:

At the meeting of the Board of
Trustees last May, a campaign for
$1,000,000 was authorized by the
Board. In addition to this, Agnes
Scott is asking the General Educa-
tion Board of New York for $500,000, |
making a total of one and a half mil-
lions that is being sought. The pro-|
posed distribution of the million dol-|
lars is:

$1,000,000

It is unlikely that the General Edu-
cation Board will give the college
$500,000, and not at all certain that
they will give anything, though at sev-
eral other times

they have given

It is thought that it will take ap-
proximately two years to get in all
subscriptions, and about five years to
In this time, how-
lever, some of the building will be
begun. The first building to be erect-
ed will be the new steam plant and
laundry. This will be built within the
next year. The new chapel will also
be erected soon. This is to the
alumnae’s part of the campaign, and
is to be a memorial to Dr. F. H.
Gaines, first president of Agnes Scott.

Mr. J. C. Norton, Miss Polly Stone,
and Dr. McCain are giving all their
time to this campaign. Dr. McCain
is working particularly on the General
Education Board. It will not be
known until November whether or not
this Board will grant the college’s re-
| quest, so no public announcement will
|be made until then. This announce-
ment is primarily for the college com-
|munity. Everyone is asked to watch
for later and more complete an-
nouncements.

Dr. McCain says that results so far
have been very encouraging. The
leaders are working hard and steadily
and big results are expected. Men-|
tion should be made of the work of |
Mrs. B. R. Adams, who spoke at the |
opening exercises this year. She is

sociation and is playing a very active
part in the campaign.

Grandmothers’ Party

Causes Great Excitement

Welcome Given
To Freshmen

ernment Lend Aid.

Perhaps the most important event
of the beginning school year is the
matriculation of the Freshmen. The
task of aiding the faculty in this pro-

Government and the Y. W. C. A.

The greater part of this is done by
the Y. W. C. A. Any one who was |
here early this year would have seen
an able committee Fiaded by Pauline
Willoughby hard at -vork. But if you
had seen them you would have realized
how much they were enjoying it. One|
group met trains by the score, answer-
ed frantic reports of lost Freshmen

ceases and were generally useful. An-
other group escorted the Freshmen to
the various points of interest such as
Mr. Tart’s office, Mr. Stukes’ office
and the admissions committee. Still
others dispensed information from be-
hind the official looking desk in Main
And all of these did any bits |
of service that came their way. Really |
they were the oil that made the wheels
go that first week.

In this the Y. W. was aided by the)
executive committee of Student Gov-|
ernment and the Athletic Board. Eli- |
nore Morgan and .,:ugusta Roberts
held friendly chats with incoming

gathering interesting” bits of informa-
tion about them. The Athletic Board
headed by Charlotte Hunter were scat-
tered in the schedule committee room,
helping with schedules.

Really these three organizations aid-
ed well and ably the matriculation of
the class of 1932.

Improvements Are
Made On Campus

Changes Seen on Campus
and in Dormitories.

We have found so many improve-
ments at Agnes Scott that we hardly
Main is a different place.
No more clumsy washstands and

a new coat of paint and even the wood-
pecker holes in the doors have been
stopped up.

The new telephone system has been
established too. There are nine new
telephones, eight in the dormitories
and cottages and one in the Day Stu-
dent room. We have minute service
now.

The class of ’28 has furnished the
history room as a memorial to Miss
Hearon and placed a handsome tablet
in her honor.

New shrubbery has made the cam-
pus more attractive. Especially is it
noticeable around the library.

Miss Hopkins and Mr. Cunningham
are to be congratulated on the work
they have done during the past sum-
mer to make Agnes Scott more com-
fortable and more beautiful.

“Alice in Wonderland” Is
Theme of Program.

With spirited grandchildren here,
and cautious Agnes Scott grandmoth-
ers there and everywhere rhematic
grandfathers the gymnasium was a
gala of fun on Saturday night.
The “old ones,” in lace caps and layers
of sweeping taffeta, arrived with the
“young ones” in rompers and bows of
hair-ribbon. Some eager children
reached the scene of the party before
the doors were opened and indulged in
curl-pulling and fist-fighting. The
dignified grandparents found them-
selves breathless and exhausted when
the doors finally opened at eight-
thirty.

The children danced with delight at
the surprise—for the party was not to
be the proverbial gym affair, but a
real Alice-in-Wonderland production.
The rabbit was there to lead the chil-
dren down into his hole. The Knaves
of Hearts ushered the crowd “through
tht looking glass” into the land of
familiar picture-book figures. Ann
Meallie as the Green Caterpillar on a
Toadstool smoking a rookah; the Long
and Short of Alice impersonated by
Charlotte Hunter and Ruth Dunwoody;
Pernette Adams as the grotesque
Duchess holding her crying baby and
black eat.

“Speak roughly to your little boy,

And beat him when he sneezes;

He only does it to annoy

Because he knows it teases”;
the “twins” as Tweedle-dum-Tweedle-
dee, in their white trousers and blue
eanote

Whenever Johnnie knocked Sally in
the head or untied her sash the Queen
of Hearts found the striped stick
candy quite sufficient to dry the tears.
Pink lemonade and heart-shaped cook-
ies—crisp from grandmother's oven,
helped to make the party even a
greater success.

There was an original
given which included many clever
numbers. Even “Confederate” Ogden,
who had been crippled in the war by
a tennis ball, found the entertain-
ment quite exciting enough to keep
him awake. Margaret Armstrong, in
her cut-a-way and high hat pleased
the children with a reading, “Jabbow-
asky.’ Margaret MeCoy and Mary

In the writing of news articles this year we are attempting
to make them more formal, more like those found in a first class
newspaper. We do not mean by this that the sensationalism for
which the press is so ridiculed and accused should come in; but
only that our articles be less informal and amateurish,

With these aims in mind we are looking forward to a great

time.

We are glad to see all of the old girls baek and are equally

as glad that the new girls have chosen Agnes Scott as their

Alma Mater.

We feel sure they will soon realize that they are a

vital part of the college and will learn to love its ideals and help us

to uphold them.

In this way only will they be able to get the
most out of their college life.

We want all the Freshmen to realize that the Agonistic is
their paper and that they are to have a part in making it what it

should be this year.

Tryouts are soon to be held. We hope many

Freshmen will try out as the need for reporters is great because so
many have had to drop thier work in order to hold other offices.

The staff can do very little alone. We welcome the Freshmen
especially and ask for their co-operation and support.

Beaux Arts

Publisher’s fall announcements make
‘it possible to forecast the good times
ahead for booklovers in the next few
_ months with a certain degree of ac-
leuracy, and prove that the slogan
| “moore and better books” is being real-
Of course these are distracting
| times, with Freshmen to get acquaint-
led with, and rooms to beautify, and

all those trying first days of study, i

but we all have times now and then
when nothing else but a book will
satisfy.

One of the best new novels is Edith
Wharton’s “The Children,” which is
the Book-of-the-Month Club book for
this month. “The Children” is a story,
not of modern marriage where divorce
is implied in the wedding contract, but
of the results of that marriage, the
children and their fate. It is the story
of a plucky group of children of the
very rich, iving in a world of inecred-
ible luxury, which is as badly organiz-
ed for their needs as a slum. “The
Children” has been deséribed by a
magazine in which it was serialized, as

a “bomb thrown at the divorce courts.”
It was written in France, which has
practically become Mrs. Wharton’s
adopted home.

And always we have time for ad-
venture stories. Especially for one
such as “Adventures of an African
Slaver,” by Captain Theodore Carot.
This story was written many years
ago by a fortunate journalist who got
it first hand from the hero, which ac-
counts for the old-fashioned flavor of
its style. But there is nothing stilted
in the narration, which is a full and
authentic account of wild and terrible
life on the sea and in Africa. Theo-
dore Carrot put in thirty years in il-
legal slaying and piracy—and his
story is often a bloody, though thril-
ling, tale. He met shipwreck, piracy,
mutinies of slaves, rebellious crews;
he fought, pitched battles with Brit-
ish cruisers; he was captured, had
hair-breadth escapes. His life in Africa
is invested with an almost fantastic
quality. Women stole from their
harems to visit him; he saw the witch
_| doctors at theix work and witnssed

cannibal orgies. From any angle Theo-!

dore Carrot and his book is worth your
attention.

And at last “Beau Ideal” has come
out in print! Those who have read
Major Wren’s “Beau Geste” and “Beau
Sabreur” need no characterization of
this book. It is included among these
recommendations as a “hot weather
book”—a book of combined mystery
and adventure, again—as the two
previous novels—a tale of the French
Foreign Legion in hot, colorful and
strange Saharan lands.

In naming these books it may be
that I’m like the woman who goes to
market hungry, and has allowed ap-
petite to exceed capacity by taking the
pick of too many counters. But for
some rainy afternoon you just must
have Rafael Sabatini’s “The Hounds of
God,” and Edna St. Vincent Millay’s
“The Buck in the Snow,” which is her
first book of poems in five years, with
the exception of “The King’s Hench-
man.” And I know you would all like
Archibald Marshall’s delightful book
called “Simple Stories.” They are
nearer to “Alice in Wonderland” than
any other book of our time that I
know. They are full of surprises of
humor and imagination.

Those of you who love musie will be
interested in Leon Theremin’s new in-
vention, a forty-piece electrical orches-
tra. It is called the Theremin-Vox,
and will be one of the novelties of the
next season. You will be glad to know,
too, that the great Russian composer,
Gretchaninoff, is coming to the United
States to conduct a series of concerts
during the 1928-29 season. Who
knows but that he will come to At-
lanta!

One of the important events in art
during the last month is the series of
exhibitions of Goza’s paintings being
given in Spain, with an attempt to
show the remarkable similitude be-
tween his and modern paintings. It
has caused quite a bit of a stir—and
an interesting one. And did you know
that a certain portrait of a youth in
the collection of Viscount Lee has
been definitely discovered to be the
work of Raphael? Nothing is known
as to its origin, but it is thought that
it was painted during one of his visits
to the court of Urbim, and the subject
is probably one of the favorites of the
court,

GIDUIE
GOSo1P

Giddy, darling,

I hate to admit it, but it really
seems good to be writing to you again.
You know, you begin to get a little
bored after three months of trying to
have a good time. Not that the sum-
mer wasn’t perfectly divine—it was!
And it was especially nice running into
some of the girls every now and then.
And, Giddy, if you ever want to see
any of them during the summer just
go to Montreat. It’s Agnes Scott’s
»Mecca—just riding through one after-
noon I saw Sara Glenn, Jean Lamont,
Shannon and Peggy Lou, Sara McFay-
den, oh and dozens of others.

But some people didn’t loaf all sum-
mer—witness all the new fraternity
pins—Dit Quarles and Catherine Allen
and Bib—Giddy, you must hear Bib!
When I hear her I think how beauti-
ful young love is—and how hard on
other people! But I’m losing my sub-

ject. Margaret Roseman gets the
prize. She has four pins! Think
of it. I’m telling you, Giddy, we really

have reason to be proud of our Fresh-
men this year. They have been so
remarkably generous and school-spirit-
ed in their enthusiasm for Hoase seats
and date space, and so on and on—
you know. But above all, they’ve
shown such delightful originality and
ingenuity. My dear, Diana Dyer got
an annual before she came down here
and learned everybody’s names and
faces (yes, darling, I know that’s bad
grammar). Then she could greet us
all like old friends and know all our
positions—if any. It would have been
a good idea if Virginia Shaffner had
done that—she passed Miss Sinclair
and spoke to her in the most mother-
ly manner, and then asked me if I
didnit think she was a cute Freshman.

Speaking of the library, Susan Carr

I wish somebody would take that

all afternoon over that onion we oper-

looked sympathetic. Oh, Giddy, it was
so funny. Sara Townsend asked Miss
Westall if she wasn’t going to serve
hot dogs with the onions, and Miss
Westall said, “This is botany, not
zoology.” I’ve never learned the
difference in them yet—just like the
Sprinkle twins. One of the new teach-
ers asked if they were sisters. Our
new set of twins—the Mathis—are
just as hard to tell. You ought to have

Athletic News

“Play for play’s sake” is the motto
that the Athletic Association has
adopted this year in its attempt to in-
clude every student in its program of
sports. The sport year is to be opened
Wednesday night with the annual big
athletic rally to which the whole
school is invited. Fall sports will begin
with the rally and the managers of
hockey, tennis and swimming an-
nounce that they are expecting a great
deal of enthusiasm showing in their
sports.

A supper hike is to be the first ac-
tivity following the rally. It is to be
held Thursday night and will be a good
opportunity not only to hike to some
pretty woods and cook supper but also
to learn to know intimately some of
the new girls (freshmen are especial-
ly invited). Elizabeth Flinn, who is
manager of hiking, is planning a won-
derful time for the first hike and re-
fers all who are interested to a poster
on the bulletin board.

An exhibition hockey game will be
played Thursday afternoon by the
Junior and Senior teams. Class prac-
tices began last week and the hockey
manager has arranged the following
schedules for class practices:

Monday 5 P. M.—Freshmen.

Tuesday, 5 P. M.—Sophomores.

Wednesday, 5 P. M.—Juniors.

Thursday, 5 P. M.—Seniors.

The following hockey class man-|
agers have been elected: Freshmen,
Lila Ross Norfleet; Sophomore, Martha
North Watson; Junior, Mary McCal-
lie, and Senior, Lucile Bridgman.

Class rivalry atid especially class
loyalty is. expected to be unnusually
keen this year because of some new
workers who have been included under
the management of the cheer leaders
and who will be known as class boost-
ers. The “class booster” is to
urge her classmates to attend the |
games, and in any way to create a
real class spirit. These boosters for |

Skid’s announcement about having
dates in the dormitory, they bought
modesty curtains from the Sopho-
mores. Oh it’s great to have school
spirit—just. wait till the stunt gets a
little further along!

Yours for life and other college
magazines,

Aggie.

Oh I forgot to tell you about all
the people who went to Europe this
summer. They sho’ have told some
awful things on each other. Helen Sis-
son, in the Acropolis, asked Virge
Cameron if that was where the four
horsemen were buried. But they say
Jo Barry's break was the worst one of
all. She asked her guide if he knew
the home of the unknown soldier.

You’ve all heard about the Scotch-
man who wore green glasses so he
wouldn’t have to water his lawn!

When flying, a pilot fell into a
canal. A man on the towing path
promptly dove in and brought him
safely to land.

“Ah, my preserver, you’ye saved my
life,” gasped the pilot. “How can I
repay you, my preserver.”

“Nah, then, gov-nor, that’s all right,
but don’t kid a bloke because he works
in a jam factory.”

To artist: “Your picture of the in-
fant Hercules strangling the serpent is
very good. But how did you ever get
a model?”

Artist: “My kid gave me the idea
the day he got tangled up with the
hose on his mother’s vacuum cleaner.”

“Wnere’s Bill going with that car?”

“To a matinee.”

“But there ain’t no matinee until to-
morrow.” :

“He’s. got to find a place to park,
hasn’t he?”

Rastus: “What ho’se powah am dat
flivah?”

Rufus: “Fo’ hund’ed million when

History Prof.: “And when Lord
Chesterfield saw that death was near
he gathered all his friends around him.
But before he breathed his last he
uttered those undying: words. Who

Chesterfield ?

A paint manufacturer received the
following letter:

“Gentlemen: Will you please send us

THE AGONISTIC

STUDENT ELECTIONS
HELD

The results of the student election
held September 14 were:

Lucille Bridgman, house president
of Rebekah Scott.

Myra Jervey, assistant editor of The
Aurora.

Margaret Ogden, assistant editor of
the Silhouette.

Mary McCallie was elected to take
Margaret Ogden’s place as president

do Agnes Scott teachers! Miss Egle-
son, one of the reasons everybody liked
to take “psych,” married Mr. Thomas
M. Serugegs late in June. Mrs. Scruggs
is going to be on the Johns Hopkins
faculty this year, when she had ac-
cepted a position before she left
Agnes Scott last spring. She will be
missed on our campus, but our best
wishes go with her.

MEMBERS OF FACULTY
RETURN

The opening of college this year
carried with it a particular thrill for
the students, because so many of their
former teachers had returned. Facul-
ty members representing six fields of
activity have returned to us bringing
ideas from five of our leading uni-
versities.

Miss Laney, who is well known to
the Senior class, has been at Yale
for the past two years where she re-
ceived her Ph. D. in English.

Miss Howson and Miss Gilchrist
spent last year at the University of
Wisconsin. Miss Howson was work-
ing on her doctor’s degree in physics,
and Miss Gilchrist received her M. A.
in chemistry.

Miss Hale returns from Columbia
where she did a year’s work in the
French department.

Miss Stansfield was at the Univer-
sity of Chicago doing work on her
Ph. D.

Miss Haynes attained her M. A. in
Physical Education at Columbia. . She
says Columbia was fine and her work
quite successful.

Miss Sinclair got her B. S. from
William and Mary. We hear from
those who know that she was “every-
thing” in the way of athletics.

The students are very glad to wel-
come all of these members of the
faculty back again. Agnes Scott will
surely be better and bigger because of
the ideas which they bring from their
work elsewhere.

Charlotte Teasley went home last
week-end.

Catherine Wilson spent last week-
end in Atlanta with her aunt, Mrs.

her home in Atlanta.

Helen MacMillian spent last week-
end with her sister, Mrs. L. B. Mac-
Millian, in Atlanta.

Harriette Brantley spent Sunday
with her sister in Atlanta.

Views and Interviews

Everywhere today in all walks of |
life we see people who are striving to
the best of their ability toward self-
improvement. In many books that we
read and in many talks and sermons
that we hear we are encouraged to
aim to be better and more perfect.
Often we see and hear’the recurring
phrase “the ideal girl,” but has anyone

any very definite idea of what she}

might be like. She is a mythical lass
who exists only in fancy. But just
as the members of an all-American
football team really exist, though
spread out all over the country, so the
characteristics of this ideal girl can be
found distributed over our campus.
And where could we find a more fertile
field from which to select these virtues
than Agnes Scott?

The ideal girl would have—

“G. B.” Knight’s sense of humor.

Elinore Morgan’s tact.

“Dit” Worth’s school spirit.

Sara Townsend’s pep.

Nancy Fitzgerald’s eyes.

Sara Johnston’s smile.

Kitty Hunter’s hair.

“Callie” Nash’s figure.

Julia Rowan’s style.

Louise Robertson’s grace.

Margaret Armstrong’s voice.

Betty Hudson’s daintiness.

Raemond Wilson’s neatness.

Mildred Greenleaf’s unselfishness.

Katherine Pasco’s athletic ability.

Nina Hammond's sincerity.

Helon Brown’s poise.

Leonora Brigg’s disposition.

Martha Riley Selman’s capability.

Dade Warfield’s intellect.

Elizabeth Merritt’s common sense.

Augusta Roberts’ understanding.

Dorothy Hutton’s wit.

Shirley McPhaul’s charm, and

Edith MceGranahan’s “It.”

night. It is rpinted in full for the

Ever since the att of writing became
| the vogue there have been books and
|poeems and philosophical treatises on
Friendship. In the Bible the classic
instance of David “and Jonathan rep-
|resents the typical friendship. Clas-
| sical mythology also is full of in-
stances of great friendships, which al-
most assumed the place of religion it-
self. The subject bulks largely in the
| works of Plato, Aristotle, Epictetus,
and Cicero. Then we have splendid
monuments to the relationship from
our more modern authors such as Mil-
ton’s “Lycidas” and Tennyson’s “In
| Memoriam.” For our purposes I want |
| to discuss only a‘few points about)
friendship. First, Bwant to talk about

the quality of her friends. Nor am
I speaking of simply being friendly.
We all ought to be friendly with
everybody on this campus at least to
the extent of speaking every time we
meet, and being courteous in the mail-
room and in the library. I am talking
of a more inclusive friendship. Each
of us has an individual capacity for
friendship. Some find it easier than
others to make advances because they
are naturally more trustful. A begin-
ning has to be made somehow and if
we are moved to enter into personal
association with another, we must not
be too cautious in displaying our feel-
ing. “A friend is worth all the haz-
ards we can run.’ Another rule that
should govern the choice of friends is
—Don't be passive about your choices.
Emerson said, “My friends have come
to me unsought: the great God gave
While that is true, it
does not mean that it foolish to
speak of choosing friends. The princ-
iples we set before ourselves will de-
termine the kind of friends we have,
as truly as if the whole initiative lay
with us. We are chosen for the same
reason for which we would choose.

you cannot extort friendship with a

Another rule for your choice of

friends: don’t choose your friends be-

all the reasons for choosing a friend,
the lowest and most despicable is be-

Charles Kingsley, {What is the secret

that I may make mine beautiful too.”
Kinsley replied, “I; had a friend.”
Realizing, then, the importance of
choosing the right friends, let us con- |
sider some principl@s that ought to
govern our choice.)

| First, don’t be 5
| cautious in choosi

ercilious and too
r your friends. You

You know the old Turkish proverb,
“Who seeks a faultless friend rests
| friendless.” Just remember that when
| you get a friend, you must also get a
fair-sized cemetery in which to bury
her faults, and your friend likewise
has to get a fair-sized cemetery in
which to bury your. faults. Besides,
don’t be too cautious about collecting
a good number of friends. I am not
speaking of that kifid of person who
is' friendly with everybody and a
friend to none. She does not care for!

you what he says: “Friendship is to
be valued for what there is in it, not for
what can be gotten out of it. When two
people appreciate each other because
each has found the other convenient to
have around, they are not friends, they
are simply acquaintances with a busi-
ness understanding. A true friend is
always useful in the highest sense; but
we should beware of thinking of our

+ friends as brother members of a mu-

tual benefit association with its period-
ical demands and threats of suspension

I’ve mentioned some don’ts that seem
to be worth considering when choosing
friends. Don’t be supercilious and too
cautious and don’t be a boon compan-
ion to everyone though you should
be friendly to all. Don’t be passive
about selecting your friends. On the
positive side I have only one sug-
gestion for the choice of friendship
for non-payments of dues.”

THE AGONISTIC

FRIENDSHIP SUBJECT
OF Y. W. TALK

(Continued from Page 5)
and that is—Put the basis of your
friendship on character because this is
the only lasting basis. Congeniality
means a great deal to the friendship.
One man has put it that the strength
of friendship consists more in liking
the same things than in liking each
other. Similarity of tastes is certainly
an integral part of the relationship
but not the principal part. It is better

to choose the good than the clever. |

Therefore, let the ultimate test in the
choice of your friends be character.

After the choices of friendship have
been made, how should the cultivation
of the friendship be carried on?
Friendships like some plants in culti-
vation need delicate handling and care-
ful attention. One of the easiest ways
to kill friendship is by lack of reti-
cence. Be honest with your friend of
course but don’t exceed the limit of
frankness. A girl who boasts of her
frankness and of her hatred of flat-
tery is usually not frank—but only
brutal. A true friend will never need-

lessly hurt, but also will never let slip |

occasions through cowardice. It is
possible to be kind without giving oily
flattery; it is possible to be true with-
out magnifying faults. One way to
cultivate friendship is by little kind-
neses, little acts of considerateness,
little appreciations, little confidences.
Such thoughtfulness is merely the out-
ward sign of faitfulness and faithful-
ness is the element absolutely neces-
sary for keeping friends. The secret
of friendship is just the secret of all
blessings. The way to get is to give.
The self-centered person cannot keep
friends even though she may have
great charm in attracting them. Self-
ishness will dissolve any friendship.

To do to and for your friend what you |

would have her do to and for you is

a simple statement of the whole duty

of friendship.

But even if you let character be the
basis for your choice of friendship and
even though you are unselfish and
fatihful in the culture of that friend-
ship, you will necessarily find limits to
it, The value and happiness you can
get from fine friends is very great but
friendship at its very best has limits.
There are obvious physical limits to
friendship, if nothing else, and if there
are physical limits to friendship there
are greater mental limits. However
great the rvmpathy it is not possible
completely to enter into another
man’s mind and look at a subject with
his eyes. Much of our impatience with
each other and most of our misunder-
standings are caused by this natural
limitation. But the greatest limit of
friendship is the sp*vitual fact of the
separate personality of each human
being. This is seen most absolutely
in the sphere of morals. The ultimate
standard for a man is his own individ-
ual conscience. The influence of a
friend is bound to be great but the
most trusted friend must net be per-
mitted to take the place of conscience.
There is a higher moral law than even
the law of friendship. The demands
of friendship must not be allowed to
interfere with the dictates of duty.
As Frederick Robertson truly says,
“The man who prefers his deares|
friend to the call of duty, will soon
show that he prefers himself to his
dearest friend.”

Human friendship has limits be-
eause of the real greatness of man.
We are too big to be quite compre-
hended by one another because each
of us has an infinite element in the
soul. To believe in this great fact
does not detract from human friend-
ship but really gives it true worth.
All our friendships are from God and
are but reflections of Him. “Every
true friend is a glimpse of God.” It
is through these friendships that we
come into the higher friendships with
Christ. Trust in God develops from
trust in man. If we do not love and
trust those we know and have seen,
how can we love God whom we have
not seen? In our friendships we
grow toward that higher friendship
that has no limitations. “I call you
no longer servants,” He said to His
disciples, “but I have called you
friends.”

“Ye are my friends if ye do what-
soever I command you” is the test
by which we can try ourselves.

Louise Robertson spent several days
last week at home where she was
bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding.

Scholastic’ Honers for Past Year Ire Announced

LECTURE ASSOCIATION
PRESENTS BURLESQUE

Announces Program for the Aurora Cover

Coming Year.

In chapel Tuesday morning Dorothy

Hutton announced to the student body |

that in order to give the new girls and
the Freshmen a definite idea of what
the Lecture Association embodied, she
had secured the six artists who spoke
last season to repeat their program.
She then turned the meeting over to
Dr. McCain (Myra Jervey), who intro-
duced Miss Eleanor Cook (Mary Cope)
and Miss Eugenia Folliard (Ditty
Winter), folk song and dance spe-
eialists. Miss Cook prefaced her
dance with the statement that the
dress she wore had been given her by
the Queen of Romania. Then,
companied by Miss Folliard at the

ac-

piano, she gave a spirited interpreta-

tion of the classic “Farmer in the
Dell.”
Dr. McCain, introducing the next

speaker, Dean Lang of Chicago,

stressed his high literary ability and
intellectuality. Dean Lang (Peggy Lou
Armstrong) anchored to his monocle,
began his lecture with the famous quo-
tation from Cicero, “Omnis Gallia
divisa in tres partis.” This eminent
-man_so inspired the girls with his il-
luminating talk that several even de-
termined to be intellectual in their
spare moments. Dr. Lang’s ever re-
curring “Don’t you see,” brought forth

loud applause from the audience. In
closing he very clearly quoted the
well known words of Aristotle, “If
winter comes and why shouldn’t it.”

John Erskine (Ada Knight) electri-
fied the audience by his discourse on
“Interest in Good Books.” Those
mentioned were exclusively his own.
Uninvited he opened his talk on
“Romeo and Juliet,” with a heart-
breaking song. With his remaing
strength he said,

“Helen of Troy, no, yes.
just a sailor’s sweetheart,” “the face
that launched a thousand ships, no,
yes.”
’ Dr. McCain very happily presented
the composer, Mrs. Ha Ha Beech,
next. At once the audience realized
that this celebrity knew “what the
well-dressed woman should wear.’
Mrs, Beech, before playing her com-
position, “Snow Flakes” (to the tune
of chopsticks), stated that she wrote
this masterpiece at the tender age of
four and that it had never been re-
modeled. The next year when Mrs.
Beech was still four years old, she
composed “Three Blind Mice” and
“The Lark,” known to us moderns as
“By, By, Blackbird.”

Dr. McCain informed us that one of
the foremost young novelists of the
day, Richard Haliburton, was de-
layed. In a few minutes Miss Hut-
ton entered with Mr. Haliburton
(Sally Cothran), who immediately
plunged into his lecture. He enthralled
his listeners by narrating his personal
experiences, of how he was inspired,
when a little boy, with the romantic,
the picturesque, the thrilling, the
beautiful, funny papers. Impelled by
the heroism of little Chester Gump he
set out on his world-wide tour to fol-
low in little Chester’s footsteps.

After this stirring talk Dr. McCain,
with impressive dignity, brought the
meeting to a close.

In conclusion Miss Torrance, Miss
MacDougal, Miss Sydenstricker and
Dr. Davidson outlined the lecture
course for this year and told some-}
thing interesting about each of the |
coming speakers.

Contest Begins

Staff for the Year Is An-

nounced.

The 1928-29 staff of the Aurora, our
quarterly publication, has announced
as a means of obtaining a new cover
design for the magazine another cover
contest. Last year this method of
selection proved most successful and

it is hoped that it will become an an- |

nual contest. There is no limit to the
number of tryouts allowed any one
student and all classes are urged
strongly to submit their ideas. The
judges of the contest will be Miss
Lewis of the Art Department, the
business manager of the Aurora, and
the editor-in-chief. The design select-
ed as most unique and appropriate
will be further developed by a com-
mercial artist and employed on the
four issues of the Aurora for this
term. Its designer will receive five
dollars in gold and will be made as-
sistant art editor of the Aurora. The
contest ends at midnight October 10th
and all material should be handed to
the editor by that date, Students are
asked to co-operate with the Aurora
staif in this effort to produce an en-
tirely attractive magazine for the com-
ing year.

On the staff of the Aurora for this
year are:

Many Alumnae Are
Back at Agnes Scott

One of Five Alumni Returns
to Alma Mater.

The call rings clear and it rings true
—the call of Alma Mater. No mat-
ter how far our Alumnae roam or
what their interests are, every autumn
finds many Alumnae back at Agnes
Scott.

Among the Alumnae visiting here
during the past week were Margaret
Rice and Georgia Watson, who will be
remembered as outstanding members
of the class of ’28. Ata meeting here
last week, three other well-known
members of the class of ’28 were
among those present—Bet Cole, Mary
Crenshaw and Anna Knight. Marjorie
Speake, too, was here for one night.

Also of interest to Hottentots is the
visit of Albert Mead, one of the
five Alumni of Agnes Scott. When
the school was first opened, boys were
allowed to attend and he is one of
the five who graduated. He expressed
himself as being proud to be called an
Alumnus of Agnes Scott and _ very
pleased at its progress in recent years.

MISS GAYLORD
VISITS COLLEGE

Miss Leslie Gaylord, who has been
for several years a very efficient mem-
ber of the mathematics department
here, spent last week on the campus.
She was en route to Chicago where she
will resume her work for her doctor’s
degree. Miss Gaylord spent one year
abroad, and while in Italy she began
her Ph. D. work at the University of
Rome. Agnes Scott regrets very much
that Miss Gaylord is no longer a mem-
ber of the-faculty, but extends to her
every good wish for success in the en-
} suing year’s work.

Faculty Members
Are On Leave

Misses Gaylord, Harn and
Pythian Away.

This year the number of faculty
members on leave of absence is very
small in comparison with other years.
Only three of our faculty have de-
serted us to study elsewhere.

Miss Harn, head of the department
of German, is in Germany now and
will spend the winter there studying.
She spent the summer traveling in
Europe, particularly in Germany.

Miss Gaylord, of the department of
mathematics, after traveling in Eu-
rope this summer, is now at the Uni-
versity of Chicago, where she will
study this winter.

Miss Phythian, a member of our
French department, studied at Johns
Hopkins this summer and is now in
France where she intends to spend the

lotte Hunter, gave her address of wel-
come to the new sportswomen at
Agnes Scott and impressively set forth
the ideals of the Association and its
motto for the year, “Play for Play’s
Sake.” She urged every player and
spectator to adopt that motto for her-
self.

After introducing the © Athletic
Board, everyone was invited into the
gym to dance until time for the mar-
riage of Miss Gymena Association and
Mr. Fish de Swim. The following in-
vitations had been received throughout
the college community:

Mr. and Mrs. Athletic Association

Request the Honor
of Your Company
At the Marriage of Their Daughter
Gymena
to
Mr. Fish de Swim
- on
Wednesday Evening
September TPwenty-Sixth
Nineteen Hundred. and Twenty-Eight

The ceremony was very unusual and
the promises given by the bride and
groom turned a solemn occasion into
laughter. The wedding
party proceeded to the altar under an
archway of crossed hockey sticks and
to peals of the wedding march inter-
spersed with hearty “rahs.” The path-
way of the bride was sprinkled with
baseballs and hockey balls and the
bride herself was lovely in a tennis
net veil and carrying a bouquet of bats
and tennis racquets.

After the ceremony the guests spent
the evening in dancing.

Freshmen Prove
Their Worthiness

Entertainments Show Tal-
ent of 732.

On three occasions during this week,
by the express command of the Com-
mission, was there an exhibition of
“rat talent.” Wednesday night in the
gym Freshmen Bowman and Sutton
presented a musicale. There was an
astounding orchestra and an amazing
chorus, who did not seem to be Scotchy
with their encores. On Thursday after-
noon between the halves of the hockey

|game, Rats Lander and Skeen gave a

very amusing dance of the grass skirt
variety and there were Sophomore
songs by. chorus girls who were really
Ziegfeld’s rivals! We saw a Raggety
wedding under the direction of lowly
worm Robbins and a representation of
“Tittle Nell” was next stirringly given
by Rodents Lovejoy and Carr, Thurs-
day night after prayers.

On Friday afternoon the Freshmen
had a frolic on the lawn. There were
various mothball rolls, football games
and “leaf launderings.” But the ecli-
max of the party was the measuring
of the distance between Home Ec. and
the old gym with toothpicks. By ac-
tual count Freshman Lander found
the said article would measure 147
times across said herbage. In recog-
nition of this feat she was allowed to
make a speech on the subject of a
toothpick’s use in the world, personal-
ly illustrated!

After this all of the honorees filed
past the hostesses to express their ap-
preciation for the delightful after-
noon.

Rules Read By the Soph-
omore Commission.

Soph Week, that time when all
Freshmen learn respect and reverence
for their superiors and all Sophs real-
ize their dignity and their sense of im-

portance, visited Agnes Scott last
week.
Tuesday night after the Student

Government meeting, in the midst of
darkness, the clanking of chains and
the booming of the organ the com-
mission marched into the chapel.
Clothed in long black robes the awe-
inspiring effect was heightened by
spectacles and an expression fearful to
behold. At this time the rats, hay-
ing shown the proper amount of terror
and fear the rules for Soph Week
were read. They were as follows:

In order that the paltry and pre-
sumptuous Freshmen may fully com-
prehend their lowly state and their in-
ferior rank and in order to more forci-
bly emphasize the supremacy of the
sagacious Sophomores over the foolish,
frivilous, and flighty Freshmen, we
hereby decree, charge, adjure, and
command first, primarily, and in the
beginning: that from this the 25th
night of the ninth month, one thou-
sand, nine hundred eight and twenty
years A. D. until 12 bells knell the
the hour of the termination of the 28th
day of the ninth month, one thousand,
nine hundred, eight and one score A.
D., all verdent varmints of the class
of ’32 will be in absolute; complete,
and entire submission, subordination,
and subjection to the exalted, excellent
and eminent components of the peer-
less class of ’31,

Secondly; Whereas we are anxious
promoters of the higher branches of
learning and in order to guard lest
the pests’ minds turn to petty and
trivial subjects we hereby decree that
no countenance shall be camouflaged
or beautified in any way whatsoever.
A ban shall be placed on the use of
all cosmetics such as powder, rouge,
and lipstick. Due warning is given
that severe punishment shall be meted
out to each and every transgressor.
Furthermore, hoping to bring back to
popularity the appearance of the mod-
est schoolgirl we demand that long
locks be arranged in plaits, one on
each side of the cranium, and one
down the center of said part of body.
In addition, short hair must be slicked
behind or down beside the auditory
apparatus. To further achieve the un-
spoiled, unsophisticated, and untarn-
ished look of the young maiden we
prohibit the use of chewing-gum as
well as the wearing of earrings, neck-
laces and all other articles of show.

Thirdly; Immediately following the
adjournment of this assemblage, the
green rodents are to purchase head
coverings and placards in the chapel.
These are to be worn until further
notice. To complete this girlish en-
semble, middies are to be worn back
to front and Freshmen are expected
to appear in regulation pedal extrem-
ity gym coverings, such as black cot-
ton stockings and tennis shoes. Under
no condition, however, is this costume
either in it’s entirety or in part to be
worn into the township of Decatur or
the metropolis of Atlanta.

Fourthly; During this week, Fresh-
men are sentenced to attend all
chapel and prayer services as well as
all meals and the Senior-Junior hockey
game to be held this Thursday: Also
said victims must bring up the rear
of all lines and must wait outside the
campus Post Office until all upper
classmen have secured their morning
and afternoon mail.

Fifthly; Freshmen are not only ex-
pected to keep off the flourishing
herbage on the campus but also to

EDITORIAL

SPORTSMANSHIP

We are inclined to think when the word sportsmanship is men-
tioned of a football or basketball player who plays the game fairly
and doesn’t take undue advantage of his opponents; but there is
a manifestation of sportsmanship either good or bad in all other
walks of life as well.

One of the best kind of sports is one who can smile and be
friendly in the face of adversity. Anybody can be a real sport
when things are coming his way and he is perfectly willing to be
agreeable to everyone he meets; but it’s an entirely different mat-
ter when things are going wrong. One day he may be very pleas-
ant and laugh even if the joke may be on him, but another day
when he has an exam or has not heard from home in several days |
or something else is the matter, he will be disagreeable and speak
to everyone as though he had insulted him. Everything rubs him
the wrong way, he can see good in nothing. We are reminded of
the poem that we learned long ago, but one that still holds true—

“Tt’s easy enough to be pleasant
When life goes along like a song
But the man worth while
Is the man who can smile
When everything goes dead wrong.”

One who shows real sportsmanship is one who can smile when
he is apparently worsted, when it seems that everybody has turned
against him.

We have found that there are many good sports in our Fresh-
man class. The class as a whole and many as individuals have re-
sponded nobly to Sophomore Week. They have proven that they
are really worth-while,” that they have the true idea of sports-
manship. We are glad to see this manifestation for is not clean
sportsmanship one of the bases of the true Agnes Scott spirit?
They have realized that the dreaded reign of terror and submis-
sion to the Sophomores is really beneficial and, what is better
than all, they seem to have benefitted by the experience.

About one hundred and forty girls from all parts of the
United States, with varied interests and experiences came to form
the class of ’32. Co-operation and unity must be attained in some
way. ‘Co-operation is not sentiment—it is economic necessity,”
says Steinmetz. Although they may not be interested in the econ-
omic value, they must realize the necessity for co-operation. They
must throw their personal feelings aside and fit themselves into a
group. The class of ’31 has helped them in this by furnishing
Sophomore Week. They have a common adversity and are thus
forced to pull together for the good of all. And the stunt October
8th gives them something else to work for. By the time that
night is over, there will exist not merely an aggregation of individ-
uals interested in their own affairs, but a class, and one with the
true idea of sportsmanship.

TRYOUTS FOR AGONISTIC

Tryouts for Agonistic reporter are due Friday, October 5th.
There is a great need for many new reporters and the staff is
especially anxious that Freshmen try out. It is only in this way
that we can know what you can do. It is much better to try out
and fail than never go out for any outside activities. You must
make a start somewhere. Let it be right now—for Agonistic re-
porter!

Beaux Arts

Peau Criticizes “The Bridge of San
Luis Rey”

We have all read Thornton Wilder’s
“Bridge of San Luis Rey,” and most
of us liked it, very much. We read
it first because the critics called it the
‘best book of the season, secondly be-
| cause everyone we knew had read it
| and was talking about it, and finally,
because once we had started it, we
couldn’t put it down because we were
so intensely interested.

But the chorus of hearty cheers
vocalized by Yankee critics for the
book have not found a very responsive
echo in Paris, where the scene of the
novel is laid. For Peruvians are, not
unnaturally, inclined to be more criti-
cal of Mr. Wilder’s local color than
are his enthusiastic, English-speaking
readers,

“The flow of phantasy is so rich that
historical facts are drawn along willy-
nilly in the current, and this is true
even of proper namer,” complains a
prominent Peruvian critic. She also
finds fault with Mr. Wilder because he
gives his plebian actress-heroine the
aristocratic title of “Dona,” and be-
cause he does not do justice to the
historical original of his viceroy. This
last, she says, “is not an error that one
can pardon in a graduate of Yale Uni-
versity, who is accustomed to re-
search.” But the critic is sufficiently
unprejudiced to admit that these er-
rors, which are rather important to
the Peruvian, do not constitute a con-
demnation of the novel as a whole; and
she does full justice to the vivid quali-
ties of Mr. Wildre’s vocabulary and
imagination.

The “New” Russian Opera

In Salzburg, Russia, the rehearsals
for a new opera are taking place be-
hind closed doors. The director, Eman-
uel Kaplan, states that he has really
developed a new form of opera. Time
will tell, but it will be surprising if
after two hundred years of experimen-
tation the perfect form should emerge,
the opera in which neither the music
shall be lost in the acting nor the act-
ing swamped by the music. He has
his operas produced in front of an iron
curtain which makes the voices of his
singers resound better and more clear-
ly. One suspects that the results may
be somewhat tinny.

Art Freaks

We are all more or less acquainted
with the modernistic and futuristic
schools of art which are so prevalent
now, but we still admire the pictures
of the old type. But the painters of
Germany are still in a period of rev-
olution, and in a current exhibition in
Berlin there is not a single picture of
the old type, good, bad, or indifferent.
The majority have no perceptible sub-
jects, and have abandoned all ideas of
line and color composition.

For instance, there is in the geo-
metrical group an anatomical model
of a giant potato being held with a
skewer by a hand floating in mid-air.
The artist seems to be possessed with
a sense of humor, for it is called
“Diana Standing in Water and Shoot-
ing.” There is also the waste-paper-
basket school, the technic of which
is to use pasted slips of old printed
matter as well as the usual pencil, pen,
and color. The work entitled ‘The
Spirit of the Times” consists of a gen-
tleman in violent hues, a stock ex-
change quotation clipped from a news-
paper, and a border of fifty-million
mark notes. It would seem, surely,
that no very great genius was required
to create such satire.

We Think

Freshman English taught us that
college was intended to give students
a broader outlook on life. That seems
an ideal rather than a fact. How
many of us look farther than home
or Atlanta? How many of us know
what goes on outside the campus
gates?

In November there will be an elec-
tion. How many of us know much
more about it than the names of the
candidates and whether they are
“wet” or “dry”? Could any of us
enumerate the planks in either party’s
platform? Some of us are old enough
to vote; the majority will be voting
four years hence. Patriotism is not so
much a matter of flying flags and
beating drums as of taking a sincere
interest in the welfare of one’s coun-
try.

Soph Day at Wesleyan

Wesleyan frosh are lucky that they
are subject to the will of the Soph-
omores but one day. But what a day!
It is described as follows in the Wes-
leyan Watch Tower:

Early in the morning, at the un-
earthly hour of 6:00 o'clock, the
Sophomores _made their presence
known in the Freshman building with
loud and pieteing shouts which were
more like Indian war whoops than an
assertion of Sophomore dignity, never-
theless, each Freshman immediately
arose and donned her pants and golf
socks, which she had secured the night
before as ordered by the Sophs, and ai-
lowed herself to be painted a fiery red
on one cheek and an F., a huge one,
of the same brilliant hue to be in-
scribed on the other. After being given
caps, paper sacks imitative of the
Elizabethan chapeau with a green
feather perpendicularly erected in
each, they followed their superiors
over the campus, keeping up a con-
tinuous joyful noise unto the Soph-
omores.

And throughout the day, whether in
the class room or on the campus, the
Sir Walter Raleighs assisted the
Queen Elizabeths to such an extent
that they scured a very graceful twist
as they threw their coats to the Sophs.

The Sophomores noticed this too,
nor were they unwary of any clever-
ness on the part of the Frosh. And
although the Frosh had an idea that
there was such a thing as ‘rat court,”
and that Wesleyan Sophomores might
resort to such a proceeding, and con-
sequently were not so surprised when
they were gathered up en masse by
twenty masked figures, Soph mar-
shals, and carried to the gymnasium,
the time being one hour from mid-
night, they did receive the shock of
their lives when they discovered that
they were being tried for impersonat-
ing Sir Walter Raleigh. Such was the
case.

Something New at Unien College

In the next issue, The Concordiensis
will introduce. for the benefit of the
honor students a schedule of lecture
classes other than those included in his
particular course. Often this privilege
is not utilized because the student does

not wish to handicap himself with |

regular attendance in an extra class!
or because he has no definite informa-
tion regarding the subject which the
free period might afford.

Each future issue of this paper will
include a schedule of lectures and dis-
cussions of such a nature that the stu-
dent can understand and appreciate
the matter they present without pre-
liminary preparation on the subject in-
volved. ‘This innovation will enable
the honor man to use his privilege to
best advantage in acquiring informa-
tion which he is unable to gain in his
regular courses. It will also provide
opportunities for his becoming ac-
quainted with those professors whose
names are invariably linked with
Union College by the outside educa-
tional world, but whom he can not
otherwise learn to know. To insure
the successful realization of this idea,
The Concordiensis respectfully solicits
the ana babi of the faculty mem-

Current Events

The League of Nations’ choice for
judge of the World Court to fill the
unexpired term of John Bassett
Moore fell upon another distinguished
U. .S citizen—Charles Evans Hughes.

Elected president of the ninth as-
sembly of the League of Nations was
His Excellency Herluf Zahle, minister
for Denmark at Berlin.

Recently the great field marshal
August von Mackensen visited the
chateau of Wilhelm II in Doom. Be-
fore very long the Hohenzollern Em-
peror inquired what evidence he had
recently observed that the German
people are eager for restoration of
their Kaiser and Crown Princes. Von
Mackensen answered thus: “There is
not the slightest evidence that the
people desire your majesty’s return.”

The President of Turkey, Mustafa
| Kimal Pasha, has decided that Turkish
shall no longer be written in the in-
tricacies of Arabic script. Instead, he
wishes the Turks to write Turkish in
Latin characters, in A, B, C’s.

The resumption of political activity
in Italy came last week when Premier
Mussolini outlined a complete political
program for the next twelve months
to the Fascist Grand Council. The
method of election on the new corp-
orative system takes the selection of
the members of Parliament out of the
hands of the ordinary voters, giving it
to what Fascists refer to as the
“productive forces of the state,” in
other words to persons who by belong-
ing to one of the great Fascist organi-
zations of workers can prove they are
producers, It is in effect the abolition
of universal suffrage, limiting the
right to vote to those who contribute
to the advancement of the state.

The Ohio State Journal (Rep.) says
that the Democratic hope hangs on
New York. “If Governor Smith loses
his own state as he may, he is a
goner. If he carries it decisively, he
may win, because the same sentiment
controlling New York’s vote undoubt-
edly will control the vote of a con-
siderable number of other states, both
éast and west.” *y

The first returns in the Literary
Digest’s Presidential poll shows a far
greater preponderance in favor of the
Republican candidate:

Hoover, 21,756.

Smith, 10,222.

The Day Students held their first
meeting last Thursday after chapel.
Lois Smith, the president, made sev-
eral announcements, the most impor-
tant of which was the fact that a new
treasurer had to be elected. Helen
Respess, who was elected last spring,
was unable to accept the office. Lois
Combs is the new treasurer and we
feel sure that she will be a competent
one. The new officers were then in-
troduced and ideas for the coming
year were discussed, although no very
definite plans were formulated.

THE AGONISTIC

Sophomore week is gone—and it

was worlds of fun. But as far as so-
ciety goes we got just a little bit dis-
couraged. For we never thought that
such stringy-haired black-stockinged
Freshmen could ever be made to look
decent again. But we’re not sorry
that our predictions turned out wrong,
for they certainly do look more like
social activity, now that they are their
sweet natural selves again, plus just
the right amount of powder, rouge,
and lip-stick.

And to be just a little conventional
we must speak about the weather for
a second. ‘Tempus” is certainly
‘fugitting” fast and is bringing winter
right along just loaded down with all
kinds of darling new sports clothes,
and coats, and hats, and party dressed.
And we can’t help but notice that the

SOPHOMORE WEEK FILLS
FRESHMEN WITH TERROR
(Continued From Page One)

|keep said herbage free of all super-

filuous matter. Furthermore, the un-
worthy ones are instructed to use the
back walls, because they will be al-
lowed to enter the buildings by the
back doors. During this week, they
will also be barred off from the colon-
ade.

Sixthly; Between the hours of 7 A.
M. and 10 P. M. these infinitesimal
specimens of bacteria are required to
designate the time by cuckooing the
hour. Cuckooing shall be prohibited
in the halls near class romos as well
as in the class rooms, the Library, the
dining room and during all services.

Seventhly; Freshmen shall doff their
caps and arise if sitting at the ap-
proach of members of the faculty and
the august members of the Sophomore

body, addressing the latter as Ma’am,
accompanied by these words, “Hail,
‘mighty Sophomore, I am a lowly
worm,”

Kighthly; Friday afternoon the 27th
of September at 3:30 o’clock sharp
|vodents are asked to meet in Science
Hall dressed in old gym clothes and
equipped with three toothpicks, a trash
basket one-fourth full of water, and
one old but clean rag. Another notice
of interest to Freshmen will be found
'on the Freshman Bulletin Board in
Main. Freshmen will please read this
notice with care.

Lastly; In order that the Freshmen
be imbued with the proper college
spirit and to complete the constructive
work of the Commission of ’31 Fresh-
required to remain after
vespers for 15 minutes each night this

week in order that they may learn
thoroughly the songs of their Alma
Mater.

After these opening ceremonies any
remaining spirit of rebellion was
quelled, by the gauntlet, which im-
mediately followed. For after a rodent
has walked on her hands, pulled her
hair down, played leap frog, scrambled
like an egg and been Greta Garbo—
all in quick succession she is in an
obedient and respectful frame of mind.

“What is your occupation?” asked
the judge, sternly.

“T haven’t any,” replied the man.
|“T just circulate around, so to speak.”

“Please note,’ said the judge to
the clerk, “that this gentleman is re-
tired from circulation for thirty days.”

Juniors Defeated in
Exhibition Game

Freshmen Entertain Be-
tween Halves.

An exhibition hockey game was
played Thursday afternoon between
the Juniors and Seniors. Some un-
usually good playing was exhibited
considering the fact that it was the
first game of the season. The de-
fense of both teams was very strong
and it was the Seniors who succeeded
in breaking through the Junior defense
to score the only goal of the game. The
Juniors rushed the bal! down the field
and threatened the goal many times
but the Seniors proved equal to the
occasion every time.

During the rest period at the end
of a half the Freshmen Lander and
Gray entertained the spectators with
novel dances. Freshman Skeen pre-
sented a chorus whose original songs
made quite a hit. Freshman attendance
at the game was very large (keep up
the good work, Sophomores!).

Those playing in the game were:

JUNIORS SOPHOMORES
Armstrong Knight
Nash Worth (1)
McLean Morgan
Shanklin Lanier
Preston Logan
Flinn Pasco
Arwood Fowler
Woolford Welsh
Townsend Hunter

FIRST HIKE OF

SEASON ENJOYED|

The first hike of the season was a
big success and was attended by about
sixty people, including five members
of the faculty. The hikers walked
about two miles out to a pretty woods
where they stopped and cooked a
tempting supper. After supper the
group gathered around two big bon-
fires and sang and told ghost stories.

This was a wonderful beginning for
the hiking season and the hikes plan-
ned for the rest of the season sound
just as inviting—overnight hikes of
ten miles more supper hikes and
shorter hikes.

Alumnae News

The whole school is in an unusual
state of excitement, but why not?
The Stunt Night is nearing and that
means the return of so many of our
alumnae. We welcome any event that
will fill our halls with so many famil-
iar faces that we have been missing.
Some of those who have sent word to
prepare the fatted-calf are Mary
Perkinson, Janet MacDonald, Nell
Hillhouse, Carolyn Essig and Mar-
garet Rice. We expect more will
“drop in” and surprise us.

Pat Collins has entered the field of
law. She is attending Emory Uni-
versity.

Irene Garretson and Edna Wolberg
have positions at the Georgia Railway
and Power Co.

In the Sunday edition of the Journal
we noticed the following extract about
Vera Kamper, which explains what
she is doing this winter: “Smiling into
the camera’s lens was rendered easy
for Freshmen at Emory University
last week when Miss Vera Kamper,
attractive assistant in the registrar’s
office, assumed charge of the new ap-
paratus that for the first time recorded
the features of every incoming stu-
dent.”

Lucey Grier has entered the Presby-
terian Hospital of New York City.

Ann Todd spent an interesting sum-
mer traveling with her family. This
winter she will be in St. Louis.

Anna Mae McCollum has entered
the profession of teaching at Bacon-
ton, Ga, She is teaching Latin and
English.

We are very proud of Carolyn Essig.
She has been contributing special
articles to the magazine section of the
Atlanta Journal. She meets all the
celebrities of Atlanta. “A great life,”
she says of it.

Her former roommate, Emily Kings-
berry, is doing something most inter-
esting. She left the other day for
Yale University to enter their exclus-
ive playwriting class. We have a
right to expect great things from
Emily.

What Will You
Wear to the Game?

October the sixth—the first game of the season!
Football competes with the election as a topic of
conversation, and wherever the feminine contin-
gent gathers there’s talk of what will be worn!
Something not too warm, nor too cool, nor too
frilly. Something very smart, probably of light
weight wool crepe. And very probably from
Allen’s, whence come the smartest styles the year

through.

Wool crepes in tweed and woven effects are priced
from $25 to $39.75.

Choruses and Dancing in
Sophomore Stunt Receive
Great Applause.

Stunt night, one of the biggest and
most important events of our school
year, and one that is of interest to
outsiders as well as to the college
community, took place Saturday night.
Up to the very last minute of the
stunts all four classes had been work-
ing as hard as they could, and all the
rest of this year the stunts will be
remembered and “reminisced” over
and over again.

The sister classes marched into the
gym before the performance began,
according to tradition, the Juniors and
Freshmen first, and then the Seniors
fnd Sophomores. A building less
sturdy than our gymnasium would
have been shaken to pieces by the
frenzied yells for the Freshmen and
Sophomores, to which Messrs. Tech,
Emory and Seminary contributed lust-
ily. The Freshman-Junior side of the
gym was decorated in the Freshman
class colors, blue and white, a huge
blue camel peeping through white bars
adorning the wall. The Senior-
Sophomore side was decorated in black
and gold, the front wall representing
an orange autumn moon shining down
on a cornfield. After much yelling
and manv songs from the student au-
dience, and impatient anticipation
from all, Penelope Brown stepped out
on the stage and began the prologue

:

b

titled, “The Shaming of the Sheiks.” |

The Sheiks, of course, headed by
their fierce-looking leader, Elizabeth
Willingham, were the Sophomores who
descended upon the unsuspecting
Freshmen of Agnes Scott. One of
the most noticeable things about the
play was the natural manner and ap-
parent lack of self-consciousness in
the acting of those taking the parts
of the Freshmen. The camel, with
four human legs and a _ pasteboard
head, was a very ferocious animal,
which aided the desert Arabs in sear-
ing the poor little Freshmen into
being taken captive. Just as things
looked most hopeless for the poor
captives and all seemed lost, in rushed
Prince Junior and his band. They

Student Council to
Be Held in Atlanta

Council Members to Be
Guests of College.

The meeting of the Student Council
of the Southern Regional Division of
the Y. W. GC. A. to be held in At-
lanta this week, October 12-14, is of
special interest to Agnes Scott girls,
for the council members are to be our
guests during their stay here. The
council is made up of representatives
from the ten states forming the
Southern Division, namely, Alabama,
Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North and South Carolina,
Tennessee and Virginia, but not all of
these representatives will be present.
The purpose of the meeting is to plan
together the work of the Southern
Division for the coming year. The
two new secretaries of the South will
also be here, both of whom are most
attractive, as will be remembered by
those who were at Blue Ridge this
summer. These are Miss Carrie
Meares, whom we hope to have with
us, and Miss Willa Young, who will
remain in Atlanta a week making
Agnes Scott the first college to be
studied in her study of International
Problems. We are very glad to have
this opportunity to meet the secre-.
taries of the South and the council
‘members personally.

his talks on several verses taken from
the fourth chapter @f I Timothy,
especially emphasizing this verse:
“Let no man despise thy youth.” The
wonderful energy, boutidless enthus-

things, according to Dr. Mancrief,
which make youth really worthy of

three major student organizations, as
the oldest on the campus.

You, the present generation of stu-
dents and the generations who have
gone before you, have considered mem-
bership in this order an honor. We
hope that it will always remain so.
But I would remind you that Hoase
does not exist for the purpose of con-
ferring honor on a certain percentage
of the Senior class. It exists for the
purpose of offering to those members
of each class who have been outstand-
ing in the service of their college, an
opportunity for even greater service in
their Senior year. The honor to the
individual is not to be considered. It
is the opportunity for service that is
of paramount importance,

Every one of us owes to our Alma
Mater a tremendous debt. We have
done more than receive four years of
formal education here. We have grown
up and matured in certain surround-
ings; we have received a something
that no other college could give us.
Understand me, I do not say that what
we have received is the absolute best.
Of that we can never truly judge, and
it is not necessary that we should. The
point I wish to emphasize is that each
eollege gives to its students a dis-
tinctive mark. Agnes Scott has made
of you something that you would

|never quite have become elsewhere.

It is not so much with the nature of
the difference that we are concerned
as with the fact of its existence. We
each have in us a bit of the spirit of
our college that we will never quite
dissipate throughout the rest of our
lives. What that bit is, depends on
the individual, For you it is one thing,
for me, another. Architecturally, Main
tower may be very faulty. But after
you have spent four years in its
shadow, you will never be able to see
it again without having that sight
arouse within you the insistant voice
which demands that you keep tryst
with the expectations of your Alma
Mater.

We have been stamped indefinitely
with that mark of our college—our

Progressive Tennis
Party Is Given

Dr. Hayes Wins the Prize.

A progressive tennis party was
given by the tennis department of the
Athletic Association last Friday after-
noon from four to six. Invitations
were issued to about twenty-four play-
ers in the school including the faculty.
The idea was a novel one and proved
to be very popular. Partners were
drawn to begin with and every five
games the winners progressed and ro-
tated. The individual score cards
were little cardboard tennis rackets.
Christian Henderson and Dr. Hayes
started off on head court and stayed
there ‘till the end, defeating one
couple after another. As a result of
sheir skill they had the privilege of
drawing straws for the prize. Dr.
Hayes won the prize, a sealed can
of Pennsylvania tennis balls. After
the game all the players assembled at
the gym for refreshments, Those at-
tending were: Rachel Paxon, Chris-
tine Henderson, Martha Tower, Mil-
dred MeCalip, Margaret McCoy, Au-
gusta Dunbar, Catherine Allen, Mary
Lanier, Lynn Moore, Carrington Owen,
Carolyn Nash, Miss Laney, Miss Wil-

EDITORIAL

“Nothing is easier than criticism; no talent, no self-denial,
no brains, no character are required to set up in the grumbling
business,” we are told, and yet, many very intelligent people are
setting up in this business. On our campus there are students
who spend a great deal of their time criticising everything.
Nothing seems to suit them and they are always finding fault
with the food, the rooms, or anything that in anyway affects their
college life. The work is entirely too hard, the rules entirely too
confining in their opinion. These students, however, do not limit
their fault-finding to things or conditions, but criticise every
other student, and cannot recognize any good in. those whom they
do not like. Agnes Scott boasts.that she has the reputation: for
being a democratic college, and yet, is this really true? The
students are divided into several groups and fail to acknowledge
that anybody outside their own intimate group posseses any ad-
mirable traits. They pride themselves on being, broadminded, and
yet, are becoming narrowed down to their own circle of friends.
They have no interest in anything that does not affect one or all
of them, and even severely criticise others.

This form of criticism is wrong because those who are guilty
of such usually criticise with insufficient knowledge, if with any
atall. They have heard someone say that a certain girl is “dumb,”
for instance, and immediately they make up their minds without
further information. Worse still, they influence another who has
this same tendency, and so on. Thus the girl gets the reputation
for being so when if the students know her better, and had waited
until they did to form an opinion, they would most probably find
that she was entirely different. The mistake of jumping at con-
clusions is made many timse throughout the day. Canning says
that if we wait and learn more before we judge we'll

. . . find with keen discriminating sight
Black’s not so black—nor white so very white.”

Bruce Barton’s advice, “Stop before you criticise—then
don’t,” would be good advice for many of us at Agnes Scott who
are in the habit of censuring without enough knowledge on the
subject. }

However, there are many who go to the other extreme and
agree with everybody about everything. These make as great a
mistake as those who find fault continually. There is a form of
criticism that is very beneficial and should be encouraged. We
call this constructive criticism. This, however, requires thought.
A student who receives everything and is willing for existing con-
ditions to continue unchanged shows an astounding lack of reason,
originality and character. The path of least resistance is crowded
with those who are passive, and see no wrong in anything. To
be able to criticise intelligently and justly one must be able to
think for himself. There should be more of this on the campus.
We can hope to have progress when we not only see the mistakes
that are being made, but offer some plan by which they may be
corrected.

These plans must be given in the right spirit. A great deal
of tact is required to give even constructive criticism, because
people generally are not over-anxious to hear of their mistakes.
And these criticisms should be received in the manner in which
they are intended. We do not want a collge devoid of progress, one
that is the same year after year because when a new idea is in-
troduced the one responsible for it is censured for knocking or
criticising the conditions that are then present. We rather want
a progressive college, one in which criticism, if given, is construc-
tive and then is heeded and acted upon.

these more violent qualities. It is in
the portrayal of people, however, M.
Bowe says, that she reaches the cul-
mination of her power. She has done
two statues of Joan of Arc, one an
equestian statue on Riverside Drive,
the other a praying figure which in the
Cathedral of Saint John the Divine,
which are exemplification of this
statement. She is at her best in the
expression of subtle human emotions.

Malvina Hoffman, though younger
than Miss Hyatt, has done more work.
She has done three busts of Paderew-
ski: Man, Musician, and Statesman.
Unlike Miss Hyatt’s, all her figures
are those of people. Her Russian
Bachante Dancers (Luxembourg) and
her Pavlowa Gavotte (Detroit Insti-
tute of Fine Arts) are exquisite crea-
tions. Pavlowa and her dancing part-
ner posed for another statue, that
is called Russian Dancers, which won
a first prize in Paris in 1911. She has
dene a wax mask of Pavlowa in which,
M. Bowe says, there is “tragedy in
every line of the austerely beautiful
face, which only seems accentuated by

the jewels in the crown she wears.” | °

Of the Russian figures in general he
says, “She has caught not only the
elusive grace of the greatest of mod-
ern dancers, but the subtle, rhythmic
emotion of a race whose temperament
is co]d and exotic, sensitive and harsh,
superstitious and logical, sentimental
and brutal, all in a strange jumble.”
Some of her other interesting figures
are two fountains, a charming Boy
and Cub group, and the Peacock Wall
Fountain, a gorgeous affair of gold
peacocks against Persian blue tiles;
a bust of Keats, which is one of her
latest studies; and the Four Horse-
men of the Apocalypse, in which the
horses and the men are forerunners
of pestilence, famine, war, and death,
symbolic of the terror and horror of
the four curses of the world. Probably
her most popular statue is that called
sacrifice, a memorial to the victims of
the Great War. It is of a dead cru-
sader, with his head in his mother’s
lap. The contrast. between the relaxed
peace of his face and the tense grief
of hers is masterly. This group was
to have been the gift to Howard Uni-
versity of Mrs. Robert Brown, in mem-
ory of her husband, our later consul to
Great Britain, on the condition of
being given fitting place. This condi-
tion not having been fulfilled as yet,
the group is now in the Cathedral of
St. John the Divine, where, since the
sculptor herself says it should be, let
us hope it will remain.

John Erskine and Music

Certainly a very versatile man is
John Erskine, poet, novelist, educator
and musician. We have become famil-
iar with his name in the first three
of these fields; and now we see him
rising to champion the cause of
music, actively.

He is the modern exponent of the
viewpoint of Socrates, who said:
“We attach such supreme importance
to a musical education because rhythm
and harmony sink most deeply into the
recesses of the soul and take most
powerful hold of it, bringing grace-
fulness in their train, and making
a man graceful if he be rightly nur-
tured in them. And he that has been
daily nurtured therein will have the
keenest eye for defects, whether in
art or nature, and feeling a more just
disdain for them, will commend beau-
tiful objects, which he will gladly re-
ceive into his soul and grow to be

Erskine, as president of the Juillard

that music in high schools and col-

Especially interesting to English
211 students is the following from the
V. M. I. Cadet:

Beowulf Battles Bale-Bringer—De-
baugh at Hrothgar’s Hall Ends
in Blows!

Dissociated Press—Denmark, Dec.
25, 425.—The main feast of the Win-
ter Solstice, held at the Hall of King
Hrothgar, a noted profligate, living on
the east coast, today ended in a very
strange manner.

Hrothgar Admits Drinking

King Hrothgar, in an _ interview
granted to a Dissociated Press re-
porter today, said: “We were all mak-
ing merry and having a lovely time—
of course there had been some drink-
ing; but I am satisfied that everyone
was in possession of his or her facul-
ties—yes, there were ladies—and about
1:00 A, M. the party broke up.

Beowulf Falls Asleep At Bench

Beowulf, a young debauchee, and
several of his followers, are reported
to have been taking part in the mer-
riment but fell asleep over their
glasses, and were overlooked when the
company dispersed. Beowulf is said
to have come from the coast town of
Meadville, Sweden. His destination
has not been ascertained:

Hrothgar Astounded

“Imagine my indignation and em-
barrassment,” King Hrothgar re-
quested of the reporter, “when Beow-
ulf came to me the the next morning
in a highly bleary-eyed state, with a
tale of having battled a monster in
my Hall during the night! When he
insisted, I followed him to the hall;
and to my surprise, I found that he
had completely wrecked it in his de-
lirium! One of his men was serious-
ly injured. He insisted that he had
been in a death struggle here with an
unmentionable monster which he
could not describe with any degree of
accuracy. I think it highly absurd!
Don’t you?” The reporter’s reply has
not been ascertained. “And then he
led me to a lake about a mile away,
and jumped in! He said that he be-
lieved the monster to reside some-
where in the depths. T had to fish hjm
out quite forcibly. *

Beowulf Interviewed

A Dissociated Press reporter today
secured an interview with Beowulf, re-
puted to be a hero, who claims to have
slain a monster in the Hall of King
Hrothgar late last night.

“T had noticed,” Beowulf said, ‘the
devilish thing peeking in at the door
all evening; I thought nothing of it at
the time, however. I had fallen asleep
—how, I do not remember—and was
awakened about 1:30 to see a _ fen-
stalked devouring one of my men. I
tried to forget the unpleasant sight
and resume my slumbers, but it stum-
bled over me in the dark. I thereupon
became so incensed that I arose and
grappled with it. I believe that I tore
an arm off. The monster, I mean.

Admits Drinking

“Certainly, I had been drinking,”
Beowulf replied to the reporter's
question. “But I am satisfied that I
was, at the time, in full possession of
my faculties.”

When asked about the lake episode,
Beowulf denied all knowledge of the
incident. “I never told Hrothgar to
jump in the lake!” he said.

An investigation is being held.

Well, Giddy Darling,

The stunt has come and went and
both were grand. The Freshmen seem
now to have been pretty thoroughly
initiated into Aggie and life is run-
ning along as usual—on the same
kind of course as true love (what with
history syllabae). And as usual again,
most everybody is on the course of
true love—or after it would probably
be more correct, since I hear the
young things are all out for frat pins
to impress the old home town with
at Christmas. I would suggest a pawn
shop as the easier plan, since Christ-
mas is only ten weeks off. Oh, Giddy,
Agnes Scott and Elinor Glyn at last
have something in common—Three
Weeks. The two littlest ones are as
much alike as the Mathis, too, so I
always stutter for I speak to them, to
be sure I’m recognizing them right.

You wouldn’t have recognized any

conception of its expectations of us.
And if we find it to be an expectation
of strength, and fineness, and high
ideals; then we owe to the Alma
Mater who gave those desires to us,
our devotion and service.

Here in college those students who
can best serve their Alma Mater have
been found to possess certain traits,
about three of which I wish to talk.
These three have been made the basis
for membership in Hoasc.

The first of these characteristics is
an intellectual grasp of experience.
| That is, the girl must be able in
some degree to relate the information
of the classroom to the actual] ex-
periences of life. In so doing she is
|turning her information into a far
|more important thing—into knowl-
edge. Her education is no longer a
purely academic thing. It has be-
come a very vital part of her life. It
|has taught her what are the tools in
| her hands, and she has begun to use
|them. Her intellectual grasp has be-
gun with herself. At least she is
started on the road to self-mastery.

The second quality that this student
must have, is the quality of leader-

ahead; to realize each obstacle in the
way, but to see through these to the
final goal; perseverance will carry her
over every obstacle and bring her
steadily on. But courage will stand
by her when everything she has fails.
More than anything else it will hold
people to her and when even persever-
ance has failed high courage will bring
her through in triumph. This power
of leadership the student who serves,
must have.

Finally, to be truly of service to her
college, the student must possess the
spirit of service; that spirit which
makes the thing desired, and not
herself, the end of all her actians.
That spirit will direct her powers of
leadership and put them to their best
use. We sometimes fall into the er-
ror of thinking that the spirit of
service is only manifested in our abil-
ity to do little, unnoticed, unacclaimed
things in a self-forgetful way. That
is certainly one evidence of it. But
big things too, can be done in that
spirit. It is possible—and how much
harder—to be self-forgetful in the
limelifiht as well as in the background.
The big tasks and the prominent
places may be filled with a spirit of
service too. It is not a question of
magnitude, but of attitude.

These three qualities—an intellec-
tual grasp of experience, leadership,
and the spirit of service—best equip a
student for the service of her Alma
|Mater. Every student exemplifies
these qualities in some degree; certain
students notably. At Agnes Scott it
is the custom to bring into one organ-
ization in their Senior year those stu-
dents who have possessed these quali-
ties in a striking degree, so that
throughout the rest of this year they
may have a further opportunity for
service and work. That organization
| is Hoasc, :

In the truest sense, the present
members of Hoase cannot “elect” any
girl to membership. Rather, they
“recognize” her as a member because
of the qualities she has shown through-
out her college life. And to the girls
so “recognized” this “recognition”
| should be a challenge to greater sery-
1¢e.

It gives me great pleasure to an-
nounce as new members of Hoasc
recognized for leadership, and spirit of
service, the following members of the
}elass of 1929:

Hazel Brown.

Helon Brown.

Mary Ellis.

Genevieve Knight.
Edith McGranahan.
Martha Riley Selman.

It was amusing to watch the Cotil-
“pledges” Monday. The way
traffic was regulated accompanied by
bells and tambourines furnished en-
tertainment the entire day. And then
Monday night! What could have been
funnier than Sally Cothran as a sport
model roadster with a rumble seat?
Louise Yerxa as Julius Caesar and
Jane Shelby as Helen of Troy were

lion

supreme in “The First No Break.”
Lindbergh, alias Virge Shaffner, and
Clara Bow, alias Callie Nash, in “We
vs. It,” caused enough laughter to last
the entire week. If Governor Smith
himself had heard Dade Warfield tell-
ing “Why I Should Be President” she

certainly would be managing his cam-}

Companion in the Woman’s Home
Companion and Helen McMillan as the
Lady in the Ladies Home Journal
were most coy and feminine. Mildred
McCalip as Lon Chaney in Blossom

were ridiculous. Etoile Lumpkin as
Gigli and Estelle Moye as Marion Tal-
ley were enough to keep anyone away
from Grand Opera. The best debate
of the evening was the one between
Elizabeth Reid and Pat Murphy, “Re-
solved that being engaged to Arthur
is better than going to college dances.”
Of course Pat upheld the affirmative.
Then Elizabeth Merritt as the ring-
master in a three-ring circus kept the
whole crowd roaring until lights went
out.

Pi Alpha Phi had its first meeting
of the year lost Thursday night. The
subject debated was, Resolved: A Dem-

the best interests of the country.
Katherine Morrow and Ellene Winn

in favor of the affirmative. After the

Alumnae News

Now that Stunt Night has come and

her air of mysterious, but we assure
you, well-controlled, excitement and
refusal even so much as to tell her
friends the number of her room, we
wonder if any news could stir the in-

we’ve attempted harder tasks than
that—such as Anglo-Saxon re-exam-
inations, and use news of old friends
as a ladle.

|more in the way of a contest to look
| forward to later, in the year, and
those Sophomores who were not ac-
tive in this thrilling performance in
either year should have greater
thrills to look forward to in their last
two college years. At Aggie we feel
that after the first two years there is
nothing left but quiet studying and
helping Freshmen and Sophomores,
but it is not like this at other colleges.
Can’t we add to the advantages which
our unique stunt has brought, the ad-
vantages which other colleges have
gained by other means? Can we in-
augurate some new kinds of per-
formance and contests which will come
later in the year, and which will in-
clude upper as well as lower classes?

We Think
A pamphlet was sent out among the
alumnae of Agnes Scott this past sum-
mer which carried with it a very novel
and interesting idea. The point was
brought out that Agnes Scott, as an |
A college has reached the crossroads
of its career, This is a time of crisis
for it and for all those among the stu-
dent body, faculty, alumnae, and ad-
ministrators who are interested in its
development. The pamphlet empha-
sized the fact that much depended on
the alumnae and their support of their
alma mater whether Agnes Scott shall
go forward to the national recognition |
as an A college that has always been
her goal, or whether she will fall back
into the ranks of the small, segregated
We all realize that a spirit of pro-
gressiveness is what we need most of
all. The student body, through its
more active members, and the alumnae
and faculty do evince a spirit of pro-
gressiveness. But can we truthfully
say that the administration shows this
same attitude? To many of us it
would seem that some of the adminis-
trators have stopped thinking, or are
at least willing to let their views stag- |
nate, to allow them to rest where they
have from the days of the Institute.
Every year a number of progressive |
proposals are made by the student
body through our open forum meet-
ings. These proposals are then sub-
mitted to the administrators for their
acceptance or rejection. The number
of refusals with which these proposals |
meet each year seems to indicate that
the members of the administration are
more desirous of adhering to precedent
and tradition than they are of showing | Vithout collecting a single idea. But

Now that we have bigger and better
baths in Main and a new telephone
system that really works, we would
like to have one more change—this in
|an academic line. We think that the
practice of reading reports could well
be dispensed with. In the first place
they are a nuisance. In the second
place they are not really indicative of
what a student is assimilating. Last-
ly they are anything but conducive to
intelligent reading.

It is a nuisance because we read
always with at least one eye to pages.
Then we have to be sure to get the
name of the book, and author, and the
pages. Lastly we have to beg, borrow,
or buy reading slips, and write down
as much as we can.

The Fresh-Soph Stunt which takes
place at the end of the first three
weeks of school between the two new-
ast classes in school is considered
about the biggest thing in the college
year at Agnes Scott. Doesn’t this
make the school year, and the four
years of college seem an anti-climax
from the point of view of excitement?
During these first three weeks a few
Freshmen are set apart—by chance,
by superior ability, or superior self-
confidence—and these few girls win
listinetion; they are marked from then
on as outstanding, promising girls.
Most of the others, because they didn’t
realize what it was all about until it
was over, feel that they are left out.

The Fresh-Soph Stunt is a thrilling
performance and we are proud of it as
an Agnes Scott invention but we don’t
think it should be the climax of college

Not infrequently a “shooing” which
is not authoritative is heard. This in
itself is a disturbing element. When
the self-same people who take it upon
themselves to “shoo” walk in a room
after lights and give a knock (or
knocks) the matter is worth consider-
ing. Since the House Committees have
the authority to keep quiet rules in

tunity to do so. As it is they have
competition which is by no means

Dr. Herbert Jennings

Preabytetiies Girls

Speaks On Eugenics, Guests of of Auxiliary

Lecturer of Week Foremost | Weiner Roast } Enjoyed By

in Profession.

Dr. Herbert Spencer Jennings—what
more ean we say? Scholar, professor,
scientist, author, lecturer—a man who
has devoted all of his life to science,
and ene who has received his reward
in being acclaimed and recognized as
the foremost geneticist of our country

and day.

Dr. Jennings was graduated from
the University of Michigan in 1893,
with the degree of B. S. To this he
has added many more. In 1895 he re-
ceived the degree of A. M., and in
1896 that of Ph. D. from Harvard.
He was awarded the degree of L. L. D.
from Clark University in 1909, and
that of S. D. from the University of
Michigan nine years later.

Dr. Jennings not only studied at
many of our most representative col-
leges. He also spent a year abroad,
studying at Jena in Germany from
1896 to 1897.

Montana State Agricultural College,
Dartmouth, the University of Michi-
gan, the University of Pennsylvania,
and Johns Hopkins University have
all at one time had the distinction of
having Dr. Jennings among their
faculty members. At all of these col-
leges he was professor of zoology, a
subject for which his long studies and
inherent interests have eminently fit-
ted him.

Among the most interesting of Dr.
Jennings’ activities have been the re-
searches he has conducted from time
to time. As the specialist of Johns
Hopkins University he did valuable re-
search work on” the —physislogy —ef
nucio-organisms, animal behaviours,
and genetics. The year 1901 Dr. Jen-
nings spent as Director of the United
States Fish Commission, making a
biological survey of the Great Lakes.

Dr. Jennings has received wide-
spread recognition among his fellow
scientists. 1908-1909 he served as
‘president of the American Zoological
Society, and as president of the
American Society of Naturalists from
1910 to 1911. Nor has his recognition
been confined to this country. Dr.
Jennings is an honorary fellow of the
Royal Microscopie Society of Great
Britain, and a member of the Russian
Academy of Science.

Four books owe their authorship to
Dr. Jennings. “The Anatomy of the
Cat” appeared in 1901. This was fol-
lowed by “The Behavior of Lower
Organisms” in 1906, and by “Life and
Death, Heredity and Evolution in Uni-
cellular Organisms” in 1919. “Pro-
metheus on Biology” and the “Ad-
-vancement of Man” is his most recent
publications, appearin in 1925, In addi-
tion to writing these books, Dr. Jen-
nings has been a prolifie writer for
numerous papers and zoological and
physiological journals.

“What Can We Hope From Eugen-
ies?” is the topic on which Dr. Jen-
nings will lecture to the college com-
munity on Thursday night at eight-
thirty o’clock. Dr. Jennings is emi-
nently fitted to deal with this subject.
A survey of Prometheus gives the
reader an idea of the clear-cut opin-
ions of this famous scientist. In it'he
asserts that Mendelism and undue
stress on heredity are things of the
past. Environment is today recognized
as equally or more important in its
bearing on humans as individuals. One
novel feature of this book is an idea
Dr. Jennings works in about immi-
gration. He strictly opposes the harsh
immigration laws of our present day.

Few opportunities are offered a com-
munity as small as our own as ‘great
as that of hearing a man like Dr,
Jennings. It is hoped that the stu-
dent body will realize how important a
contact like this with the foremost
scientist of this day of science is, and
that they will co-operate in advertis-
-ing him off the campus, as well as
among themselves.

Forty Girls.

The Presbyterian girls were the
guests of the Ladies’ Auxiliary of De-
catur at a delightful weiner roast
Thursday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. Slack. About forty girls gathered
in the stately woods back of the Slack
home, where several fires were built
for roasting and tables
pickles and everything that goes with
“hot dogs” were arranged. Everybody
ate and ate, and ate and got delicious-
ly smeared with smoke. Even the
Seniors lost their dignity. All the
Presbyterian girls aré glad they are
Presbyterians and are hoping for a
repetition of the weimer reast next
year,

Plan for Junior Year
In Paris Presented

Monsieur Desclos, Coming
Lecturer, Advocate
of Plan.

The coming of Marguerite Gerard to
Agnes Scott from France has caused
many of us to wish that we, too, might
enjoy the advantages of a year's study
abroad. Do you know that American
college students can now spend the
Junior year in France and secure
courses for which full credit will be
granted by most colleges toward the
Bachelor of Arts degree? This has
been made possible through the For-
eign Study Plan of the University of
Delaware.

The Delaware Foreign Study Plan
proyides-for one-—ycakn -sEpervised
undergraduate study in France. The
Foreign Study year is a full calendar
year, from July to July. Suitable
courses for undergraduates have been
arranged, They include: literature,
history, geography, economics, and
other branches. Under this plan a
year’s study in France costs little
more than a term at any of the higher
American colleges. It is estimated
that $1,500 will cover all expenses.
$300 scholarships have been establish-
ed, each open to competition by stu-
dents from any college or university
in America. Further information can
be secured from our own French De-
partment.

This plan is especially intended for
those students interested in French,
but because of its many desirable re-
sults, the plan is inviting to those
students specializing in history, politi-
cal science, English, economics, or
philosophy. The thinking people of
our country realize that America needs
an international mind. The best way
to get this and an insight into the
lives of our fellow races, is through
the study of languages.

This Foreign Study course plan has
gained in popularity since its begin-
ning in 1923. In that year eight
students were accepted for the experi-
ment. Last year there were forty-
five students, fifteen men and thirty
women. They were from institutions
including Amherst, Cornell, Randolph-
Macon and Wellesley. One student
says of her study under this plan: “My
year in France under Delaware’s For-
eign Study Plan has been the out-
standing feature in my college career.
Twelve months of cultural training,
impressive travel, and broadening so-
cial contacts made of my Junior year
something not easily forgotten.”

We will soon have the opportunity
of becoming more familiar with the
idea. Monsieur Desclos, of the French
office of Universities and Schools (who,
by the way, recommended Miss Gerard
to Agnes Scott), is a speaker on our
lecture program for the year. His sub-
ject is to be: “University Life in
France in the Past and Present.”

It is hoped that Agnes Scott girls
will appreciate the advantages of this
Foreign Study Plan offers and give
it a fair investigation.

Y. W. Budget

There ean be no efficient, productive
organization, in modern society, with-
out running expenses. Obviously these
expenses are not means in themselves.
Only as they embody progressive and
challenging ideals expressed in certain
forms of service and activity can a
part in the maintenance of the budget
of an organization mean anything at
all to the contributor. As you examine
this Y. W. C. A. budget, do you sense
the vitality of the activity and believe
in the privilege of its maintenance?

Mascot Presented
‘At Senior Coffee

It is always gratifying to find that
charming manners and winning ways
run in a family, and that is one of
the reasons that accounts for last Sun-
day’s Senior Coffee’s having been a
very delightful occasion.

Mr. J. K. Orr, famous for his many
appearances here on our campus with
the never-failing accompaniment of:
“The surest sign of gentle birth;

The truest test of woman’s worth is

modesty,”

came to Senior Coffee last Sunday
with his daughter, Mrs. J. K. Orr, Jr.,
and Misses Frances and Caroline
Moore Orr. The Seniors are so at-
tached to Mr. Orr that they have been
trying for three whole years to think
up plausible excuses for making his
visits to our campus more frequent,
and Mr. Orr’s mention of his grand-
daughter, referred to as his “forty-
niner,” gave the class of twenty-nine
a definite clue and very plausible ex-
cuse.

Caroline Moore Orr has been chosen
as class mascot for the class of twen-
ty-nine. She possesses all of her
grandfather’s pleasing characteristics,
and gives promise of being a perfect
mascot. Caroline has two distinct ad-
vantages over most beginners in that
she has already won for herself a band
of devoted admirers among the
Seniors, and in that she has the letter
M for her middle initial. Her grand-
father assured us that this stood for
his own ideal term for a young lady—
“Modesty.”

Caroline presented her Senior sisters
with a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
Her visit was a short but delightful
one, and one long enough to make the
Seniors realize and appreciate the
merits of their chosen mascot.

COLLEGE SYMPATHIZES
WITHMACDONALDS

Classmates and friends of Alice and
Ruth McDonald are sympathizing with

‘Methodist Girls

Are Given Rides

Points of Interest.

All the girls who are Methodists
have a treat in store for them in the
form of automobile rides which the |
ladies of the Methodist Church of De-
catur will provide. Thursday, the
25th and Friday the 26th are the days
for this pleasant outing. It will be an
excellent opportunity to see the points
of interest around Decatur and At-
lanta, as the girls will be taken to
such places as Stone Mountain. Grant
Park and Piedmont Park. Miss Hop-
kins asks that all those who can go
sign the slip which will be placed at
each table.

| Artists Series Con-

certs to Be Present-
ed by Musie Club

Barrere and His Little Sym-
phony to Head Group.

Mr.
symphony will open the Artists’ Series

George Barrere and his little

,of concerts presented by the Atlanta

Musie Club at the Atlanta Woman’s
Club auditorium Friday evening, Oc-
tober 19, at 8:30.0’clock. This organi-
zation was so greatly appreciated last
season that it was re-engaged at the
request of enthusiastic music lovers.

George Barrere, a Frenchman, is a
graduate of the Paris Conservatory of
Music, and a member of the French
Academy. Since 1905, he has been
with Walter Damrosch in the New

| York Symphony Orchestra, as flutist.

The Barrere Little Symphony was or-
ganized in 1914 and consists of thir-
teen pieces. The musicians are mem-
bers of the New York Symphony Or-
chestra.

The second concert in this series
will be given Wednesday morning, No-
vember 7, by Mrs. H. H. A. Beech,
pianist, and Miss Louise Barili, of
Atlanta, who will give some delight-
ful vocal numbers. Mrs. Beech will
be remembered as having given a most
interesting program last year at
Agnes Scott. Her skill as a musician

| and composer places her at the head of

concert players. Miss Louise Barili,
the daughter of Alfredo Barili, has
contributed much to the music circles
of Atlanta.

Tuesday evening, December 4, the
Russian Symphonic Choir will give a
in- gor-
geous costumes.

Following the Russian choir, Tues-
day, January 8, will be Catherine
Wade-Smith, a violinist, who is spon-
sored by the Federation of Woman’s
Clubs.

In the Flonzaley Quartet, which will
appear Saturday afternoon, January
26, we will meet old friends. Every-
one interested in music knows the ex-
quisite ensemble work of the quartet.
This will be the last opportunity to
hear this famous quartet as they will
disband after this, their 25th, season.

On Friday evening, February 8,
Homer Samuels, well known pianist,
will give an unusual program. His
selections will include classical num-
bers of old and modern masters.

The next concert will be Monday
evening, February 18, when Elisazeth
Rethberg, of the Metropolitan Opera
Company, will appear.

unique program on his guitar. Seigi-
onia enjoys the rare distinction of
having elevated the guitar from a
serenading instrument to a place in
the concert hall.

The Agnes Scott girls have a spe-
cial invitation from Mrs. Wilmer
Moore, president of the Music Study
Club, to attend these concerts. In ac-
cordance with its previous achieve-
ments, the Atlanta Music Study Club
is bringing to Atlanta musicians of

EDITORIAL

The current week marks the presentation of the Y. W. C. A.

Budget for the year. After the treasurer of that organization has
brought the matter before the students as members of the Y. W.
C. A. it remains for them to see that the proposd quota is reached.

One feels a hesitancy in putting the Y. W. C. A. in terms of
dollars and cents. Surely if there is any organization on the
campus which exists on a basis free from the mercenary it is this
one. For some of us Y. W. is the greatest spiritual guide of our
college life, and no doubt the vast majority of us get a greater
benefit from Sunday night vespers than from a lifetime of formal
sermons.

- Someone has: said in speaking of the Y. W. C. A. that it com-
bines finely the spiritual and the practical—the budget and the
white candles of life. That is very true, and very excellent—but
the Y. W. CG. A. cannot run on candlepower, so to speak.

Stop and consider briefly the practical side of Y. W. Work.
What pays the expenses of the first week of the term—the re-
ception, the floor parties—and the various teas which follow in
the year? What pays for the World Fellowship literature which
does its best to extend the vision of students toward international
problems and activities? What pays for Agnes Scott’s representa-
tion in the various student conferences held during the year,
through whose medium Agnes Scott is becoming widely known
as a school where Y. W. activities are given a prominent place?
The budget, of course.

In asking for the co-operation of the student body, the cabi-
net, and particularly the treasurer, realizes that the demands of
Agnes Scott upon every girl’s finances are not small. There are
lecture tickets to buy, the student budget to pay and dues for
various clubs which demand constant attention.

Y. W. has no black list; people do not talk about last Sunday’s
vespers as about last night’s lecture; in all probability your mem-
bership will not be discontinued if you make no payment toward
the budget. Perhaps you will be struck sometime, however, by
the degree to which the Y. W. C. A. touches and affects your life,
and you will feel some sense of gratitude. “Freely ye have re-
ceived.”’ Need one say more?

SHARING

“Not what we give, but what we share,
For the gift without the giver is baré.”

Each one of us loves our Y. W. C. A. here on the campus, and
we want to serve it in a definite manner. Perhaps the oppor-
tunity will not be offered to us to serve on some committee or in
the various phases of its activities, but we can give to help sup-
port the work that it carries on, and thus make ourselves an
integral part of the Association. But even in so mechanical a
thing as giving, it is the spirit which prompts the gift that counts.
The memory of the poor widow has been made eternal because she
gave all, prompted by love.

“To give, is to live.”

“Give, not from the top of your purse, but from the bottom
of your heart.”

|

“Not what we give, but what we share, for the gift without
the giver is bare.”

“Doing nothing for others is the undoing of ourselves.”

We Think ee Current Events

Last week we noticed a very inter-

esting “We Think” from the point of
view of the subject at least. It dealt
with reading slips. We heartily agree
that the abolition of reading slips
| would be a step forward. The pri-
mary purpose of reading slips is to
make the student read and to make her
keep up in her work. They may be very
up in her work. They may be very
helpful in forming good habits in
Freshmen; but by the time we become
Juniors and Seniors, we should have
learned to keep up without any arti-
ficial check every week. If we are
ever going to really learn to swim,
someone had better take away our
water wings. M.

Frankness is the best policy! The
elections to Hoasc this year surprised
a great many people. It seems to
many that very obviously prominent
persons were ignored and rather ob-
secure ones chosen. Can anyone deny
that the big offices on the campus
mean definite work and accomplish-
ment? Can anyone dispute the fact
that those who carry the big offices do
the most for the glory and honor of
Agnes Scett? Can anyone deny that
a girl who can hold down a big office
and still be popular on and off the
campus is more admirable than the
girl who does her work but does
nothing else? Is not the ideal of the
honorary society of Agnes Seott not
only service but versatile service? Is
it just for friendship or dislike to in-
fluence the election to such an organi-
zation? No!! "30.

“There is a girl here who went to
Agnes Scott last year and she says
she knows you. Her name is A
Is she considered cute? I think she
is very sweet and nice. We are not
rushing her though.”

It is excerpts like this from letters
of our friends in other colleges that
make us glad we go to Agnes Scott,
in spite of some of the hangovers from
the Institute. Here at least we feel
that we are not drawn into a circle by
superficial attractions or by the arti-
ficial standards that the short time
between matriculation and rushing
cannot but impose on sorrorities’ selec-
tions. College for most of us is a
matter of four years and we would
wish that the benefits derived there-
from be as genuine as possible, Friend-
ship, we think, is counted among our
dearest possessions, and can be recog-
nized on short acquaintance no better
than oil pockets can be discovered by
the appearance of the surface of the
ground. There is something coldly
material in asking if a girl is “con-
sidered” attractive in her former en-
vironment as a means of determining
her desirability as a friend—a “sister”
—in her present one; there is some-
thing negative in anything as second-
hand as a recommendation in a situa-
tion which, it would seem, should call
forth a positive action, a first-hand
demonstration. The difficulty is that
anything so intangible as the qualities
that we deem as necessary components
of our friends cannot be discovered on
short acquaintance.

Sororities bring to their members
many advantages, but on a small cam-
pus like ours there is no need for
them and their disadvantages would
outweigh their advantages. On no
lasting standards they choose and
bring into seeming intimacy girls who,
very often, find they are welded to-
gether as a group by insecure bonds
and find the limits of their friendships
are only too often pre-arranged by a
choice other than their own.

MISS LILLIAN SMITH
ENTERTAINS ADVISERS

Miss Lillian Smith delightfully en-
tertained for her advises last Sat-
urday afternoon. At three-thirty Miss
Smith took the girls for a lovely ride
in Decatur and Atlanta. The ride
ended with a feast in a secluded spot
in the woods near the college. All
the girls had a wonderful time and
hated for the picnic to end. Those
enjoying Miss Smith’s hospitality were
Susan Carr, Julia Forrester, Martha
McKnight, Hyta Plowden, and Alice
Willits.

“Make the most of your best for the
sake of others.”

The text of the secret naval agree-
ment between Great Britain and
France was partially exposed and its
principles vigorously denounced last
week in a note from the U. S. to the
British Foreign Office. Germany is
uneasy and suspicious. Italy is raving
about a mySterious subsidiary accord
which is to enable France to concen-
trate her air fleet on the Italian bor-
der. Moscow is flinging accusations
broadcast.

The early career of Roosevelt in
New York is suggested to one of the
Washington correspondents by the
characteristics of Mexico’s new Presi-
dent-elect, Emilio Portes Gil. He is a
hard worker; he is large and sturdy;
he is fond of swimming, horseback-
riding and baseball. He represents
the supremacy of civil authority over
the military. By profession he is a
lawyer.

The first issue of the Aurora goes
to press next Thursday, Oct. 25. There
is still left another week in which
contributions may be handed in for
the forthcoming issue. These themes
or stories or poems may be placed in
the white box marked “Aurora” in
Main building where they will reach the
editor. All students may hand in such
contributions and are urged to do so.
The staff heretofore has been too de-
pendent on class contributions. Help
us out by lending us your literary tal-
ent. We will appreciate any co-oper-
ation along this line.

Beginning and intermediate Sei]
mers! The swimming season has in-
cluded you in its plans and you have|
not yet shown your appreciation. The }
plans this year include a beginners and

| intermediate meet and unless you eo

operate the swimming plans must fail.
Heretofore, it has seemed that the
swimming meets were only for the ad-
vanced swimmers, girls who came here
as good swimmers and of course were
in every meet, winning for their class |
for four years. There was no reason:
for beginners and intermediates to go
out for swimming, but this year there
is to be one whole meet only for
beginners and intermediates, a meet
that will count just as much for a let-
ter and the banner as a big meet and
a meet where all the other swimmers
are just as punk as you think you are
and where there will be no advanced
swimmers to compare with you or to
embarrass you. |

The swmiming manager is sending
out a plea to the beginning and in-
termediate swimmers, asking that they
come out to their class practice so
that their meet which is to be in
about two weeks will not be a failure.
It is your chance to win the banner
for your class even if you do hit flat
when you fall off the side of the
poor or choke when you try the crawl.

The newest organization on the
campus is that of the tennis club
which deserves all the excite-|
ment and enthusiasm that it is caus-
ing. Its purpose is to furnish an op-
portunity for the tennis players, both
faculty and students, on the campus
to get together and to enable these
players to improve their game.

The first activity of the club was
the progressive tennis party, an
event long to be remembered by those
so fortunate to have been present.
This tennis club is to be an indepen-
dent organization on the campus,
sponsored by the tennis department of
the athletic association. Twenty-four
of those most interested in tennis are
to serve as a basis for organization.
A chairman will be elected from this
number whose duty it will be to co-

of the victorious teams succeeded in
pushing through one goal during the

men are to be congratulated on hold-
ing their upperclassmen to such a
small score and their team is full of
promising material.
The line up was as follows:

ter, Ficklin, Welsh, Lanier.
Freshmen—S. Bowman, Lander,

THE AGONISTIC

Giddy, Sug.

I do wish you lived where I could
send you a letter by air mail (tho’
of course nothing need prevent your
sending me one that way). Carolyn
Payne’s mother said she would mail
her one, ’cept she supposed she’d have
to use fly paper. I sho’ would love
to go up. Lou Robertson goes with
a pilot who’s promised to take her
for a ride—tlucky girl! Mildred
Greenleaf says she’s more interested
in the skies from a—er—stellar view
point than an “aeroplanear” one—
since she’s taking astronomy. She
was walking along the other night
looking at stars and fell right into a
ditch—concerning which I might phil-
osophize at length, but I must. tell
you about Mildred’s roommate. She’s
about to trick the Englishman—you
remember her childhood romance—and
I thought that was so sweet. I wouldn’t
have thought Marion would do that
way. But she’s steadily increasing
her string—with a “Tony’’ from Van-
derbilt—and my dear—the other day
she came out of the mail room, her
face: beaming with the light of love
and waving a post card from Miss
Edler’s brother.

All those girls in Gaines must have
“it’—they certainly have interesting
love affairs. You must get Nina Ham-
mand to tell you about that Deke pin
she’s wearing. He goes to Yale.

Oh but Elizabeth Merritt the
popular girl, Giddy. Somebody called

is

her the other night, and said he was
Lindbergh (did I spell it right?—but
you wouldn’t know the difference) and
he was starting to the North Pole
and wanted an iceberg to take up
there, and would she go. He certainly
was petting her all ready—he brought
her a hot water bottle the other night. |

I certainly do wish she’d had it the
night after I came back from Wings.

Campaign Plans
Are Set Forth

Miss Wilburn to Head Com-
mittee.

All of us have heard much of Agnes
Scott’s great Million Dollar Campaign.
Perhaps we have unconsciously
thought of it as an outside enterprise
—something not touching the students
immediately. If so we must square
about and adjust our viewpoint. It is
as fundamentally our campaign as
that of any alumna. For the purpose
of organizing the campaign in the col-
lege community a committee has been
chosen with Miss Wilburn as chair-

man.

The needs of Agnes Scott are very
familiar to all of us. The question
we are facing is, shall our pride in
the past of our Alma Mater be justi-
fied by her future? Educationally, no
college stands higher than Agnes Scott
A Phi Beta Kappa chapter was award-
ed in 1925, The Southern Educational
Association recognizes its educational
worth by representation on two of its
most important committees. But while
these have been kept alive and have
been cultivated, other things have not
been developed. The physical plant
has not kept pace with the growth of
the real Agnes Scott. It has no Reci-
tation Building, The chapel in inade-
quate. The steam plant is ancient.
Agnes Seott has a pathetically small

sum for the combined assets of en-

dowment and plant when compared
with other women’s colleges in the
United States of outstanding rank.
Sophie Newcomb has over twice the
assets of Agnes Scott—$3,988,000

ainist B4:976,000; -Bryn—Mawr has.
$8,800,000, Vassar $11,611,000, “and So
on throughout the list.

In the past liberal men and women
interested in Christian Education have
given to Agnes Scott College $2,130,-
000 (1928). This has been used in
the construction of buildings; in the
purchase of property; in equipment
for class rooms and laboratories; in
books for the library; and in furni-
ture for the business offices and dor-
mitories. The balance has been in-
vested in income-bearing securities,
and the income used for the current
expenses of operating the college. An
investment of $2,130,000 at 6 per cent
interest yields $127,800 annually. The
average attendance over a period of
five years is five hundred students.
This means that each girls receives
annually the benefit of $255 over and
above what she pays. A graduate
after four years of study has bene-
fited $1000 from the benefactors of
other years. This brings students and
alumnae face to face with their debt
and their ensuing responsibility. For
this as well as more fundamental rea-
sons of deeper than financial benefits
it is confidentially expected that a
hearty co-operation will be shown the
campaign committee when it begins
active work on the campus and
throughout the college community.

Seniors Entertain
Sophs With Dance

Wednesday afternoon at 5 o’clock
the Seniors entertained their sister
class with a lovely tea-dance in the
gym. Each Senior took a Sophomore
as a special guest, seeing that she
thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. On
entering the gym the guests ‘were

served with delicious punch and
cakes, afterwards joining in the
dance, During the hour a solo was

rendered by Lenora Briggs, accompa-
nied by Rosa White and Carolyn
Payne.

Byerybody had a good time and the
Sophomores are very much indebted
to the Seniors for such delightful en-

tertainment.

Elinore Morgan
Goes to Athens

Speaks Before Student
Council at University.

Our president of Student Govern-
ment, Elinore Morgan, spent Wednes-
day of last week in Athens, where she
had been invited to speak before the
Student Council of Women of the Uni-
versity of Georgia. Her subject was
the Agnes Scott Honor System. She
was asked to speak about it and ex-
plain how it was worked here because
the University thought our system
was such a good one and because they
thought it had proved so successful,
while they have met with some diffi-

culty in making their System a work-
able one.

While at the University, Elinore saw
several old Agnes Seott girls—Lucy
Henry, Annie Laurie Hill, Katherine
Rice and Melvina Wells. She reports
that she had a good time and that her
hostesses were lovely to her.

Mr. Orr Announces
Essay Contest

Subject a Familiar One—
“Modesty.”

“The truest test of woman’s worth,
The surest sign of gentle birth
Is modesty.” —

How familiar these words sounded
last week in chapel! We are all sorry
that “grand-pa” himself did not give
us his little sermonette this year; but
we are glad } he has Bee Cos >tten it
entirely! In order to make the cumu-
lative effect of this idea more wide-
spread and more worth while, grand-
pa is putting on a contest, based on
his own sermonette. Here is the idea:

First of all there is to be a campus
contest. For the best one hundred-
word composition or short story, based
on these few lines quoted above, a ten
dollar prize will be awarded. Very
competent judges have been selected to
select the winner.

Then there is the interstate contest.
A group of the best of those handed
in here will be given to Mr. Orr for
entrance in this large contest. Grand-
pa assures us that many colleges have
shown great interest and competition
will be rather strong; but do not let
this discourage you. The winner in
this contest will get a very lovely

Prominent Biologist Speaks |
On Eugenics.

Last Thursday night the Agnes
Scott community was privileged to
hear one of the most outstanding biol-
ogists of the United States and in the
world, Dr. H. S. Jennings, professor
of Biology at Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity. Dr. Jennings was introduced by
Dr. Rose of Emory. The subject of
his lecture was: What Can We Hope
for From Eugenics?

Eugenics, he said by way of intro-
duction, is the biological scheme for
helping humanity. The eugenists feel
that they go to the root of the mat-
ter. They propose that, since all traits
are hereditary, the next generation
could be made good and strong, men-
tally and physically. They claim that
eugenics is able to solve all social
and economic problems.

We ask will it do these things and
how long will it take? Does it make
other measures unnecessary? Humans
are different and the differences are
due to inheritance. The causes of
these differences are found in the sub-
stances in the cell from which the
individual develops. The combinations
formed is the determining factor. The
problem of eugenics is to get good
combinations for all people. Each per-
son has two complete sets of genes
which give him a double chance of
being normal in every respect. It is
when both genes of the same type are
defective that the individual is defect-
ive.

There are two types of eres
family and racial. These two work
against each other sometimes. Family
eugenies tries to prevent two defec-
tive genes of the same kind combin-
ing. The general rule is that each
parent should as far as possible sup-
nlement the defective genes of the
other with perfect genes. In this way
two weak parents may produce normal
children and two strong parents weak
children. Genius is due to an unusual
combination of genes. Racial eugenics,
on the other hand, demands that we
not simply cover up defective genes
but that we stop them. Any defective
genes which are stopped mean a gain
but the process is very slow at best.

Eugenics depends on two great ad-
vances in science. First we must find
out how to identify ‘defective genes.
Secondly we must find out how much
of our social disorders are due to en-
vironment. At present eugenics is an
aspiration rather than a remedy.

New K. U. B. Mem-
bers Announced

Ten Reporters Are Taken In.

K. U. B. held tryouts last week and
judged them October 18. The follow-
ing morning these girls received notes
from the secretary, Laura Brown, tell-
ing them they had been admitted into
the club:

Marie Baker.

Regina Faber.

Jean Grey.

Carolyn Heyman.

Eugenia McDonald.

Ruth McLean.

Frances Messer.

Saxon Pope.

Miriam Thompson,

Olive Weeks.

K. U. B. is a strictly journalistic
club and has a definite connection with
the newspaper world in the two At-
lanta papers to which it contributes
weekly articles, The Journal and The
Constituion. The articles heretofore
have been for the most part of the
regular news-item type, and as the
need for this kind of contribution is
always urgent, they will continue to
be so, However, according to Helen
Ridley, the president of the club, there
is a possibility of an arangement by
which the members of the club may
submit move detailed articles of the
feature type.

The organization fills a definite need
in the college community as it carries
on a work which a special reporter was
formerly paid $50 a month to do. In
the spring it sends a brief write-up of
each Senior to her home town paper,
the primary purpose of this being to
advertise Agnes Scott in a desirable
manner. The members of K. U. B. are
anticipating an interesting year with
such speakers already billed on their
program as Dr. McCain, Polly Stone,
a charter member of the club, mem-
bers of the editorial staff of The Jour-
nal and The Constitution and members
of the faculty of Emory University
and Georgia School of Technology.

Members Campaign
Committee Named

Miss Wilburn to Head Group

The following members of the facul-
ty and student body have been ap-
pointed to the campaign committee:
Miss Wilburn, chairman; Miss Alex-
ander, Miss Bland, Mr. Stukes, Mr.
Robinson, Charlotte Hunter, Augusta
Roberts, Elinore Morgan, Ruth Worth,
Marion Green, Helon Brown, Mary Mc-
Callie, Elaine Exton, and Penelope
Brown.

warming between the hours of five and
‘six, and seven and eight. The entire
college community was invited. Polly
Vaughan, the president, welcomed the
guests and Miss Gooch, director of the
club, poured coffee. About one hun-
dred guests called.

An interesting program was given,
including Sara Carter’s amusing reci-
tation and a group of songs by Jean
Lamont.

This delightful affair marked the
formal opening of Blackfriars’ re-
modelled club room. The club has
made a very attractive room of Propy-
lean hall and it is to be known as
“Blackfriars’ Club Room.” It is some-
thing different to have a club room of
this sort on the campus—a place where
members can gather each night to read
and “get together” socially. Soft
lights, comfortable chairs, and divans,
the latest magazines, all make an ideal
setting for the club room. Blackfriars
are proud of it and we congratulate
them in their accomplishment.

The date of tryouts for the club will
be announced within the next few
days. It is hoped that many girls will
try out as the club needs a variety of
new material this year.

Aileen Moore, vice president of
the club and chairman of the program
committee, has presented a well-plan-
ned course of discussion for this year.
The plays of such modern dramatists
as Eugene O’Neill are to be consider-
ed. Blackfriars plan to make this not
only the most productive but also the
most interesting year of its history.

Miss Young Was On
Campus Last Week

Y. W. Secretary Assists in
Project of World
Fellowship.

Miss Willa Young, one of the secre-
taries of the Southern Division of the
Y. W. C. A., was a guest on the cam-
pus last week. The purpose of her
visit was to start the Y. W. C. A.
here in the working out of a project
of world fellowship. Agnes Scott is
one of the ten Southern colleges in-
terested in this project, some of the
other colleges interested being Ran-
dolph-Macon, Wesleyan, G. 8. C. W.,
and Duke.

Miss Young during her visit investi-
gated various resources on our cam-
pus which can be used in helping our
campus to become less provincial and
more world-minded. In all she found
that there are twenty-six resources
which may be utilized. It is hoped that
these resources will be used to a
greater extent than formerly and that
Agnes Scott may be ¢lassed as a cos-
mopolitan college that is not provin-
cial.

EDITORIAL

Edueation is a wonderful thing and especially is a college edu-
cation good, but as We Ting Fang has said, “Education is like a
double-edged sword. It may be turned to dangerous usages if it
is not properly handled.” Indeed there are many dangers to be
averted in the use of this two-edged sword. The most outstand-
ing one is that of spending so much time in the actual pursuit of
facts that there may not be enough left in which the student may
become familiar with the things that are happening around her.
And despite all her acquisition of knowledge is she not becoming
narrow? We boast of the broadening effects of a college educa-
tion and yet, when we look at most students, we are forced
to admit that they are not fully educated, in the broadest sense of
the word. There is an appalling lack of interest in present day
problems. The last football game or the wedding of some friend is
the extent of the average student’s repertoire of news items.
Only the’things that directly affect her are of importance. When
asked what her views are in regard to a question of national im-
portance, she is usually forced te say that she has none because she
knows nothing about the question. But she always offers the alibi
that she is in college, and therefore does not have time to read the
newspapers and keep up with what is going on in the world.

Of course, there are courses in current history, American
government, polities, ete., but it is not every girl who can so ar-
range her schedule that she may take one of these. But what is
to be done about it? There is always the argument that the stu-
dent who is really a student will find a way to become informed
of the news of the day and the trend of public opinion. But this,
unfortunately, is not always the case. Many students feel that
their regular work should come first and therefore have no time
to spend reading and discussing current affairs.

However, there are organizations on the campus that help to
remedy this situation. The League of Women Voters is one.
This organization has not long been in existence on our campus
and is as yet not very well known. The attempt is made to inform
the student of the problems that are confronting the world today
and encourage an attempt to formulate plans and ways to meet
them. In this club one may learn all that is necessary about
voting; and in many cases may have actual experience under
supervision. Just at present the discussions are naturally centered
around the two candidates for presidency of the United States.
Hoover and Smith are both eriticised. Both sides of the ques-
tion are always presented in order that the student may be able
to intelligently discuss her position when called upon to do so.

It has been said that the women, now they have attained
suffrage and can vote, do not exercise this right. Is it because
they really do not believe themselves capable of taking part in
the government? Or is it that they are not informed, and are
therefore ignorant along that line? We prefer to believe the
latter. And this can be corrected, In the League of Women Voters
parliamentary laws and laws concerning voting are learned. Here
one may learn how to vote and how to take an active part in the
government.

“An enlightened mind,” says Longfellow, “is not hoodwinked;
it is not shut up in a gloomy prison until it thinks the walls of
its own dungeon the limits of the universe, and the reach of its
own chain the outer verge of intelligence.’ The enlightened stu-
dent is one who is not shut up in her own mind, or kept in her own
affairs, but is vitally interested in the affairs that are of universal
importance. She knows what is happening in the outside world
and is willing to take an active part in these affairs, She is inter-
ested in other things than the events learned in her history course
or the problems in her mathematics; in other words, she is fully
educated.

was a little out of place, appearing
as it did in a campus publication that
will be read by many outside the
pale of the student body.

This article hardly justified itself in
appearing in what should be a con-
structive criticism column, as we have
been led to believe in the past is the
nature of the We Think section of
the Agonistic. My objections to this
article are based on the fact that it
seemed more destructive than con-
structive in its criticism.

The article was too much in the
nature of a personal affront. The per-
sons attacked and defended were too
obyious for their personal comfort or
for that of Hoasc. The old members
find themselves in an embarrassing
situation in defending their choices of
the past, in preparing to make their
selections in the future.

The article, to my mind at least, bore
more resemblance to the scathing, mud-
slinging propaganda of the present
presidential campaign than to an
article that might seem creditable to
a college or to any member of its stu-
dent body. I would ask that writers
in the future confine themselves to
attacking organizations as a whole.
Voice your personal grievances else-
where! Otherwise, the purpose of a
constructive criticism column will
have been destroyed. It will have
outlived its purpose. The removal of
the We Think column of the Agonistic
will seem to be a logical and neces-
sary step.

Hoasc, two points are surely not to be
overlooked: First, a definition of the
very vague term service as it applies
to the Hoase ideal; second, the stand-
ards upon which membership in Hoase
is based.

The Hoasc ideal may best be thought
of as the girl, who, having the inter-
ests of Agnes Scott continually at
heart, serves her Alma Mater in the
richest, fullest way possible. One who
thus serves must render service not
only in great things, but also in small
things. It is comparatively easy to
serve in great things: there is always
the approving public eye, and a sense
of satisfaction in having “done some-
thing.” But in serving in small things
there is neither of these rewards:
usually, the one who serves is as un-
conscious of the service as is the one
to whom the service is rendered. Sure-
ly, then, service, as it applies to the
Hoasce ideal, is that devotion to Agnes
Scott and her ideals which leads a girl
to further those ideals unselfishly and
lovingly.

The questions arise to many: Upon
what standards is membership in
Hoase based? Are members selected
by a group of outstanding but preju-
diced girlw whe “take in” only their
especial friends? By a group of girls
who feel that the only manifestation
of service is the ability to “hold down
a big office’? Surely by neither of
such groups are members of Hoase
selected. Rather, they are chosen by
a group who, because of their desire
to truly serve their college, feel the
need of others with a like desire to

Talks on Attitudes

Three Attitudes Presented

We desire to re-emphasize those
principles upon which membership to
Hoase is based. Consideration for
membership depends on:

First: Leadership—the ability to
take the initiative, to begin new things
and to complete them.

Second: Clear vision—to be able
to look ahead and see things in their
true value; to choose the right path
and to lead onward, regardless of the
criticism of others.

Third: Loyalty to the college to its

Elinor Morgan made a splendid talk
last Sunday at Y. W. Vespers, on our
attitudes here on the campus. It was
a very helpful and practical talk, and
is given here briefly:

“There is so much good in the worst
of us,

And so much bad in the best of us,

That it ill behooves any of us,

To find fault with the rest of us.”

“What is an attitude? Mr. Web-
ster says an attitude is a settled man-
ner of thinking or feeling. However,
it seems that our attitudes here on
the campus are subject to change, and
oftentimes a rather sudden change.
How many of us have felt an unac-
countable dislike for some girl, here
on the campus? We just couldn’t
tolerate her, and then one day we ride
back on the car from town with her,
or we have to work with her on some
committee and we suddenly discover
that our dislike has completely vanish-
ed and that a liking has taken its
place. We are amazed at ourselves to
discover that our attitude has changed
so completely.

It seems that there are some very
concrete instances of attitudes here on
the campus which need to be changed.
The first of these is Provincialism.
Each one of us has taken a definite
stand for one of the presidential nom-
inees but there are very few people
who can give acceptable reasons for
their choice though there are many
articles in the library which would
give help. Our interest in outside
things is cleverly concealed, if it exists
at all. There is no exeuse for pro-
vincialism here, when we have access
to newspapers, magazines and even
have articles of world interest post-
ed.

The second attitude which needs
modification is emulation or insinceri-
ty. There is a spirit of “when in
Rome, do as the Romans do.” By fol-
lowing this slogan, we often are un-
true to our own ideals. By our con-
sent of silence, we even help others
betray their ideals, for so often all
they need is a word of encouragement
to express and stand up for their
ideals.

Paul said, “It is not right to eat
meat, if by eating meat, thou causest
thy brother to stumble—” neither are
our attitudes justified when they make
others untrue to themselves.

The last attitude which is unfortun-
ate is that of crabbing or grouching.
It is a habit of complaining about the
food, the work, any and everything in
general. It is time for us to stop this
unreasonable attitude when it is
noticed outside of the college, and peo-
ple in Decatur and Atlanta think that
Agnes Scott is a prison or a work-
house. And in addition, it is not right
or fair to always show the seamy side
of our natures,~ And it is particularly
unfair to exhibit it to our friends who
are suffering with us. G. K. Chester-
ton says, “An adventure is only an
inconvenience rightly considered, an
inconvenience is only an adventure
wrongly considered.” We have the ten-
dency to let others work while we
stand aside and criticize or else kill
the project by disinterest and sarcasm.
Rudyard Kipling says, “Gardens are
not made by saying, ‘Oh, how beauti-
ful,’ and then sitting in the shade.”
And it seems that many of us are sit-
ting in the shade and not even ex-
claiming “Oh, how beautiful.”

It seems that all we need is a spirit
of determination to co-operate here on
the campus.

“And to every man there openeth

A way, and ways, and a Way;

And the high soul takes the highway
And the low soul gropes the low,

And in between on the misty flats

| The rest drift to and fro;

And to every man there openeth
A high way and a low,

And every man decideth,

The way his soul shall go.”

highest ideals,

Fourth: Capacity for service—serv-
ice whose supreme motive is a love
and sincere devotion to the college and
her interests.

Recognition to membership is con-
cluded neither hastily nor thought-
lessly. It is not based on prominence
or importance of office, but on quality
of service, and the spirit in which it is
rendered.

saint—Miss Fosdick who “couldn’t
stand it any longer’—these and
others merge into the story, making
not one story but a dozen, all getting
their significance, like actors when the
spotlight touches them, by means of
some influence emanating from Annie
Spragg. It has been called a “Haw-
thorne story told in the fashion of
Mrs. Edith Wharton.”

These three, we think, are the most
attractive of the new books, but there
are those you wil! like better, prob-
ably. If you have much time, and are
an ardent admirer of Emil Ludwig,
there is his new biography of “Goethe”
which will delight you. It follows his

from birth to death of his hero, but
makes it, as much as possible, to be
self told. Goethe lends himself to this
method less well than Napoleon, as it
is easier to follow one man’s ambition
than to unravel the secrets of Faust.
But it is a comprehensible Goethe that
Ludwig follows through his three

such as Ludwig is capable of present-
ing.

And Louis Untermeyer has turned
from poetry to write his first novel,
“Moses.” <A brilliant, always witty,
and occasionally shocking historical
romance—a stirrmg narration of many
nations and many persons, of intrigue
and war. Out of it all Moses emerges
as a gigantic and vivid personality.

Clubs
The Salutation and the Cat held its
first meeting on Friday, October 12,
with Mary Lanier and Betty Gash as
hostesses. Various plans for the year
were proposed and discussed, inelud-
ing a new type of essay writing which
the club has decided to try. The club
was well pleased with the interest
shown last year, its first year, and
it hopes that this interest will continue
so that many try-outs will be submit-
ted. After a short social hour, the
meeting adjourned to meet again No-
veinber 9 at the home of Geraldine Le-
May in Atlanta.

Poetry Club met for the first time
this year Tuesday evening, October 9,
with Mary Cope and Raemond Wilson.

Plans for the year were discussed,
the most important of these being the
possibility of having some noted poet
on the campus for a brief stay. De-
velopment of these plans will be an-
nounced later.

Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores and

| Freshmen are cordially invited to try-
| out for Poetry Club.

The tryouts are
to be due November 5. The following
faculty members and students are at
present members of the organization:
Jean Alexander, Miss Bland, Lucile
Bridgeman, Miss Cheatam, Mary Cope,
Alice Jernigan, Adah Knight, Miss
Laney, Miss McKinney, Miss Preston,

| Sara Sutherland, Lillian Thomas, Rae-

mond,

Poetry Club holds a unique position
on the campus, having as its two-fold
purpose the encouragement of appre-
ciation of poetry, and of the creation
of original poetry. The members of
the club are aided in their attempt at
verse-making by constructive criticism
from their fellow members of their
work.

Poetry Club hopes to be an inspir-
ation to many in the search for beauty,
and its expression in verse.

B. O. Z. met with Edith McGranahan
October 15, for the first time this year.
Plans for the coming year were dis-
cussed. Tryouts, which are in the
form of a short story, may be sub-
mitted until October 29. The club is
open for membership to Sophomores,
Juniors, and Seniors.

FRESHMEN ELECT
THEIR OFFICERS

Freshman election of officers was
held on Friday of last week im-
mediately after chapel. The officers
elected are as follows:

President, Penelope Brown.

Vice President, Sara Lane Smith.

Secretary and Treasurer, Hettie and
Etta Matthis.

Notice

The Agonistic wishes to express its
great appreciation to the Atlanta
Georgian-American newspaper, and its
music and art critic, Ruth Hinman

the interesting and educational pic-
tures, which will appear in following
numbers of the Agonistic:

THE AGONISTIC

The idea of making Agnes Scott
greater in respect to buildings seems
to have come along hand-in-hand with
the idea of making Agnes Scott great-
er in respect to society. For just this
past week we’ve had lots of lovely
social functions of our very own: the
Seniors gave the Sophomores a party
(sort of hard on the Juniors and
Freshmen, but then we’ll be the rating
ones by and by!); Blackfriars christen-
ed their gorgeous newly-remodeled
club room by entertaining the whole
college community; there was a recep-
tion for Dr. Jennings; and so far, far
into the next week. Everybody’s been
having tests, too, but, strange to say,
there doesn’t seem the usual amount
of weeping and wailing. Maybe this
means we're learning to mix work
and play accordingly, or it must be
these time budgets we're hearing so
much about. Anyway only 56 more
days till Christmas!

Have you ever wished that you could

cording to statistics gathered by the
members of the Athletic Board you
would not want to see yourself as
others see you, for going into chapel
one morning twenty-four sluefoots
paraded by, twenty-five bad postures
(really noticeably bad—but the major-
ity of these were Freshmen) passed
through the chapel door and in the
chapel there were 68 bad postures.
Only six girls wearing high heels came
to chapel, but a great many were seen
on the campus afterward. (Evidently
those who have the nerve to wear high
heels also have the nerve to cut
chapel!)

Judging from these statistics the
morning parade of the college crossing
the colonnade to chapel must not be
as picturesque as it sounds.

Supper at Childs.

The annual hike to Childs’ in At-
lanta is scheduled for next Tuesday
afternoon, This is the hike that every-
one looks forward to and the hikers

Old Athletic
Shield Is Found

Trophy of Institute Days
Arouses Interest.

An old athletic shield awarded in
the day of the Institute has been dis-
covered and is Agnes Scott’s latest
object of interest.

In the days of this newly-found
shield Agnes Scott was an Institute
with the Academy and College: Main
building comprised the Academy and
Rebekah and White House the Col-
lege. Every year the Academy and
College met in a big basketball game.
(Miss McKinney says that to play
with the Academy was a great con-
descension on the part of the College).
To the winner of the games, this ath-
letic shield was awarded.

Close examination of this shield will
reveal the following victors of the
basketball games: Academy, 1907,
1908; College, 1909.

Both Miss McKinney and Dr. Sweet
| Say that they remember the great ex-
| citement over these annual games and
also the great competition.

after 1909 because in that year the
Academy was closed and the Institute
became Agnes Scott College. Those
interested in seeing the athletic award
that was much coveted by their
mothers and friends who attended the
Institute will find it hanging in the
Athletic Board Room in the gymnas-
ium.

Night Football Becoming Fad

Night football is becoming more
than a passing fad in Dixie.

William and Mary of Virginia play-
ed several games last season at night
and found the experience so successful
the practice will be continued.

Alabama Polytechnic Institute, of
the Southern conference, will be the
first to try it in that organization, the
Tigers to play Birmingham, Southern
College at Montgomery, Ala., on the
night of September 28.

Psychologist Defines “Ego”

Madison, Wis.—Personality is just
plain horse sense plus sociability, and
the man who lacks these qualities will
find his associates shying away from
him, according to Dr. A. R. Gilliland,
professor of phychology at Northwest-
ern University.

Dr. Gilliland said personality no
longer is a mystical quality, and can
be accurately measured by scientists.

“Common sense probably is the most
important factor in personality make-
up,” Dr. Gilliland said. “If a man
lacks just plain horse sense he’s pretty
sure to have a weak personality, and
one which will make his associates
shy away.

“The psychologist has found that
aggressiveness constitues another ex-
tremely important factor in personal-
ity makeup, and we can measure this
in the laboratory.

“Beauty and dress are not sufficient
to make a good personality, even tho’
they do help,” Dr. Gilliland said.

“Although a pleasing appearance is
an important personality factor,” he
continued, “there must be more to a
well-rounded personality than mere
beauty or a matter of dress. In fact,
| very ugly people may have a rather
pleasing personal appearance. The
perfect personality must include in-
clude intelligence, forcefulness, ‘socia-
bility and morality.”

Dartmouth Leads
New York.—Dartmouth College has

more faculty members listed in the

Oberlin College is second in number
of names in the book, with Swarth-
more, Smith, Amherst and Pomona

Sketches From Frosh Exams

Following is a list of hazy, or en-
| lightening (take your choice), answers
which the Freshmen haye given to an
examination concerning the college
rules!

“Tt will be considered a death pen-
alty to break a busy sign.”

“Victrolas may be played from 2:30
A. M. till 7:45 P.M.”

“The worst major offense possible,
in my estimation, is to kiss a boy.”

“If he does anything that is against
the regulation of the school, he or she
should immediately report the offense
and let the council deal with him.”

“Major offense is leaving the cam-
pus without the faculty not knowing
id

“Of course, going to and from
classes, it is impossible to be so very
quiet.”

“Since I am too young to have dates
and eallers, and since I am already
used to being carefully chaperoned, I
have not bothered to learn many of
those things for which there is a seri-
ous punishment.”

“The honor system is a system by
which the honors are divided up so
that no one girl will hold too many
offices.”

THE AGONISTIC

GOS5o LP

Ah Me, Giddy,

Life, it is true, is just one thing
after another. And I’m afraid this
won't be a very pleasant letter for
I’m blue—a deep, dark, heavy blue—
and everybody I’ve talked to is in the
same predicament. I’ve heard so many
people’s troubles in the last day or
two I feel like a combination of Marie
Rose, a fatherly shoulder, and a large-
sized handkerchief. Geebie is the most
pathetic thing. She’s so sorry she’s
not taking Freshman English so she
can write an essay on “The Sorrows of
Having a Roommate That Writes
Poetry.” She really seemed rather ir-
ritated. “If only,” she said heatedly,
“Ada would just not write about pur-
ple hyacinths—and water lilies! I feel
like a tadpole. And I much prefer
hydrangeas.”

I sympathized with her—and with
Ada (that attitude is very trying for
genius), Why, today, I was having
a burst of poetic genius, and my
roommate came dashing boisterously
in with loud shrieks of laughter, to
tell me about little Page Davidson
being experimented on in Child Psych.
They asked her what her daddy did
and she said, “He works.”
does he work at?” was the next ques-
tion. “He cuts out for me.”

She—the roommate— giggled so
long over that, I was compelled to seek
solitude with my thoughts—and on the
way I ran into the Brown twins. They

they’re both going to get married as
soon as school’s out—and double wed-
dings are bad luck, and if one twin
gets married before the other, the
left out one won't get married at all.
Of course neither wants to be the left
out one. Now if they were as cautious
as Estelle Moye they wouldn’t have to
worry. She wouldn’t join Y. W. ’cause

Shirley McPhaul’s been waltzing on
air for the last day or two. Her Bill
is down here from Charlotte. Of
course anything’s nice if it’s from
Charlotte. Just ask Belle Ward if you
don’t believe it. Or from Mississippi

girl with good taste—she’s all for

you heard about all the girls whose

Views and Interviews

Pet economies! Pet economies
of the thrifty! What can I say in
twenty lines that will interest you
in this acquisitive tendency of idiosyn-
cratic Hottentots? Did I say acquis-
itive? Nay, somé are actuated by a
lofty spirit of service—the very spirit
that drives people like Callie Nash to
save paper bags and strings (you knew
Blackfriar try-outs are right away?).

To an outsider the motive may be a
trifle baffling. Now everyone knows
that Shirley McPhaul always uses
library ink and unless you knew that
the saving went on her Y. W. pledge
you might think she was penurious.
But not even an insider or a _ best
friend could justify Myra Jervey who
has a raggedy-ann for going around
\ picking up stray hairpins.

Certain types, if this acquisitive de-
sire is suppressed, become fanatics.
There’s poor Mary McCallie. Hers
was reading slips. Three weeks ago her
friends locked theirs up so she’s using
the pen to convert public opinion to a
slip-less system of reading.

The faculty are rather secretive
about their “pet economies.” So far
Mr. Tart is the only one who has con-
fided in us. His is gold and he has
already saved half a bag-full.

Seniors Entertain
Hallowe’en Night

Evening Featured by Stunts,
Appearances of Ghosts

Ghosts, witches, eats, bats, owls!—
No more proper setting for a Hal-
lowe’en party than Inman attic, with
a full harvest moon shining through
its windows, could be found.

The attic was decorated with
streamers of orange and black crepe
paper, corn stalks, and pumpkins. The
Hallowe’en idea was also carried out
in the refreshments, which consisted
of apple cider and gingerbread.

One corner of the attic was con-
verted into a fortune teller’s booth,
where one might hear the most en-
thralling tales of one’s future with
handsome husbands and brilliant ca-
reers not only promised but assured to
every one.

The northern end of the attic was
a most ghastly, ghostly affair—a
chamber of horrors of the worst sort.
After crossing over a series of bed-
springs that made one’s knees knock
in just the right degree, one was con-
fronted by ‘Bluebeard’s wife whose
gory head presented a heartrending
vision to the spectator. Numerous
ghosts flitted around and threatened
curses on all who refused to feel of
a dead man’s eyes or brains or fingers.
Dead men rose out of their graves,
emitting the most startling shrieks.
A skeleton waved its fleshless limbs in
the breeze.

In another corner ghosts beckoned
to one and all to lie on Agnes’ death-
bed, that the spirit of Agnes might be
appeased. It was a ghostly trap into
which many a poor, deluded soul fell.
_ The people at the party were divid-
ed into four groups—the cats, the
bats, the owls, and the witches. Each
group presented a very elever skit, of
which the “Little Orphan Annie”
stunt was judged the best.

After a grand march of the most
varied, interesting, and picturesque
costumed figures that one might im-
agine, a prize was awarded for the
best costume. Ruth Worth as a bat
won first place. Her costume was
both original and clever. Second place
was given Lila Ross Norfleet, who in-
terpreted a witch that might have
stepped out of Macbeth and one that
might easily have foreboded the evil
things the witches of Macbeth did.

A shadow stunt was presented at
one end of the attic. Here in a real-
istic pantomime two lively Hottentots
threw a missionary into a cauldron,
and derived great delight from ex-
tracting his dismembered limbs from
the boiling pot.

The party came to a grand finale
with every one out on the Inman roof,
singing songs under the beautiful
moon. It was indeed a lovely party,
and one which carried out the idea
of Hallowe’en perfectly in all that
Hallowe’en means and symbolizes.

Monsieur Desclos
Speaks in Chapel
Distinguished Educator Ad-

dresses Assembly in
French.

Saturday morning in chapel Mon-
sieur Auguste Desclos, distinguished
French educator, spoke to the assem-
bled body of faculty, students, and
friends of Agnes Scott. The address
was in French. Monsieur Desclos was
very considerate of the limitations of
the student body in the comprehension
of the French language, speaking
slowly and distinctly.

Monsieur Desclos began by express-
ing his interest in the South, about
which he, when very young, had read
books of adventure concerning Indians,
negroes, and planters, and his pleasure
in being here, where, although he had
seen no Indians, there was something
more interesting—the many young

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1928

Representative of
L. W. V. Speaks
To Assembly

Agnes Scott Girls Invited to
Attend All the Sessions.

After the devotional services in
chapel Wednesday morning, Miss
Morehead, representative of the Na-
tional League of Women Voters,
spoke to the student body and told
some interesting facts about the his-
tory and purposes of the organiza-
tion. The League of Women Voters is
a league of women who organized for
the purpose of studying political con-
ditions, learning what is best for the
welfare of the women and children of
the country, and discovering means by
which they can legislate for their wel-
fare.

The League was first organized in
1920, after the act of women’s suffrage
was passed. When twenty million
women became suddenly enfranchised,
they became a great power for either
good or evil. So the definite purpose
of the association was to lead the
women to vote intelligently for the
right issues.

Woman, it appears, has had to
struggle for all her rights. From the
soulless creature of paganism, through
the stand Christianity gave her, to
education, citizenship and suffrage,
woman has ascended. These women,
as voters, contribute an interest for
cleaner and better conditions in poli-
tics and government. Miss Morehead
cited instances of many state laws,
valid though obsolete, in which women
and children are legislated against,
and which women only have the will
to improve. “We can never change
obsolete laws and put good ones in
their places,” said she, “until we, as
women, organize to accomplish this.”

Some of the aims of the League at
the present time, as given by Miss
Morehead, were for greater efficiency
in government, for reduction in the
costs of living, a better place for
women in industry, and an interna-
tional preparation to prevent war. She
urged the students to think intelli-
gently about these matters. “I speak
of you as women, for when you leave
college you will be women, and the
leaders in intelligent thought of the
day!”

League of Women
Voters Hold Meet

Agnes Scott Entertains
Delegates From Other
Colleges.

The Georgia League of Women Vot-
ers had its tenth annual convention
in Decatur October 25th, 26th and
27th. On the evening of the 25th the
program was held in the Agnes Scott
chapel, when various prominent peo-
ple in the League brought greetings
and good wishes to the assembly. The
main events were an address by Dr.
Jack of Emory, chairman of the Men’s
Council for the League, and by Mrs.
Anderson, of St. Louis, one of the
national vice presidents. At the con-
clusion of the meeting, the Agnes
Scott League of Women Voters enter-
tained with a reception.

On Friday morning a discussion for
new voters was conducted at the
Hotel Candler by Miss Josephine
Wilkins. This was attended by several
Agnes Scott girls, as was the banquet
Friday night. This banquet was also
especially for the New Voters with
Mrs. Alstaetter of Savannah presid-
ing. Several humorous selections
were given, one of which was a read-
ing by Miss Sara Carter of Agnes
Scott, “When Men Propose.” After
the dinner, Mr. S. J. Slate, Georgia
State Auditor, spoke on the simplifi-
cation of State Government.

During the convention, Agnes Scott
entertained delegates from Brenau,
University of Georgia, LaGrange Col-
lege, and the State Teachers’ College.

manner.

Straw Vote to Be
Held November 2

Stump Speeches Are to Be
Given in Chapel in Sup-
port of Candidates.

“Vote as you please—but vote.”
This is the slogan of the League of
Women Voters for the coming election,
and it is one that every Agnes Scott
girl should adopt in the big straw
vote. Student Government is putting
on this vote in conjunction with the
Agnes Scott League, according to
prescribed rules of voting. A regular
booth has been provided, and the bal-
lots are an exact replica of the ones
to be used Noverber 6th.

November Ist is the day to register

in 1982.

If you are interested in hearing the
returns from the national election,
come to Mr. Johnston's studio Novem-
ber 6th. Phillips and Crews of At-
lanta are installing a radio for the

Southeastern Econ-
omics Conference to

Be Held in Atlanta)... .nch Ea

Dr. J. M. Wright Member of
Committee on Arrange-
ments.

The Southeastern Economic Con-
ference will be held in Atlanta Novem-
ber 9-10. The meetings of the con-
ference will be held in the ball rooms
of the Henry Grady Hotel.

The Agnes Scott community will be
especially interested, since Dr. Wright
is a member of the committee on ar-

rangements, which includes profes-
sors from Emory, Tech and Ogle-
thorpe.

This conference has been called by a
committee consisting of Professors
Johnson, Noel, Libby and Wright, of
the Atlanta colleges and universities,
at the suggestion of a number of
teachers of economics and business ad-
ministration in the southeastern
States. The purpose of the conference
is: (1) to furnish a meeting for the
discussion of economic topics for those
members of the profession usually un-
able to attend the national conference,
and to permit better acquaintance
among the members of the profession
in this territory; (2) to encourage re-
search among the members of the pro-
fession in this section of the country.
It is hoped that this conference may
be succeeded by annual conferences to
be held in the future.

All members of the collegiate teach-
ing profession interested in the topics
under discussion, especially teachers
of economics and business subjects,
are invited to attend and participate
in the discussions, and to take over
the administration of the conference
from the self-apypinted committee on
arrangements. All meetings. will be
open to the public, and persons pro-
fessionally associated with the sub-
jeets of discussion are especially in-
vited to attend.

Fire Demonstration
Is Given By Chief

Co-operation of the Entire
Student Body
Asked.

Tuesday morning, at the request of
Miss Hopkins and Dr. McCain, Ethel
Freeland, our fire chief, talked to the
student body. She reminded us of the
system of captains and lieutenants in
the dormitories but emphasized the
fact that each student had a personal
responsibility in case of a fire. It is
advisable to keep as close to the floor
as possible and make use of the fire
escapes. Each girl should feel it her
duty to prevent a panic.

One day soon there is to be a gen-
eral fire drill, announced by the power
house whistle. Everyone is to rush
out of the building as quickly as possi-
ble, using the nearest exit.

After chapel the student body
gathered behind Main Building where
bonfires were put out by the use of
fire extinguishers. The Decatur Fire
Department was present and added
quite a bit of interest as well as giv-
ing assistance.

Ethel Freeland asks the co-oper-
ation of every girl at Agnes Scott to
try to make our drill a success. This
matter is quite a serious one, though
we hope an occasion for real action
will never present itself. Girls, let’s
not take our Fire Department too
lightly.

M. Desclos Speaks
To Large Audience

ucator Brought
By Lecture Association.

Among the outstanding lecturers
brought to Agnes Scott this year by
the Lecture Association was Monsieur
Auguste Desclos, a leader in the
French educational movement, who
spoke before a large audience here
Monday night.

Introducing the speaker of the eve-
ning was Mr. Loridans, a prominent
member of the French Alliance, the
French Consul in Atlanta, and a
Knight of the Legion of Honor. He
emphasized Monsieur Desclos’ ability
to speak on the subject of education
by citing his mission last year as spe-
cial envoy of the Ministry of Educa-
tion in Paris, his membership in the
committee of four Frenchmen sent to
America for a study of American Uni-
versities, and his work in charge of
the educational exchanges between
France and the United States.

Monsieur Desclos, following this in-
troduction, announced his subject as
“University Life in Paris in the Past
and Present,” which was, he said,
something of an ancestral subject for
American students, since the Univer-
sity of Paris has deservedly won its
title of “mater universitatum.”

The university finds its earliest
origin in the churches and monas-
teries. The first schools in Paris
are said to have been held on the
steps of the altar. Through ecclesias-
tical in object, they were open to all,
and all availed themselves of the op-
portunity. While other educational
centers arose, school life in Paris sur-
passed all others in brilliancy, “lift-
ing her proud head above the rest as
the moon outshines the stars in bril-
lianev,”

Monsieur Desclos showed upon the
screen a plan of the city in 1540, in
the embrace of a valley, with a crown
of hills, pointing out especially the
island connected by bridges with the
two suburbs.

The educational center was in the
neighborhood of Notre Dame. The
masters taught in the open near the
cathedral. It was not long before these
schools became too small, and over-
flowed into different sections. The re-
sult was greater liberty; three was
no legal link between masters, stu-
dents, and schools. Authority was ec-
clesiastical.

The interests of the students were
not adequately protected, the need of
organization being imperative. The
result was the organization of guilds,
following the example of the trades-
men. The University, as the guild
was called, took on the character of a
corporate body, its seat being on the
famed left bank of the Seine.

At first there was no common habi-
tation. Conferences were usually held
in the churches. Gradually the mast-

EDITORIAL
MANNERS

Winter has said that “good manners are the final and perfect
flower of noble character.” One of the things that Agnes Scott
attempts to do in our four years stay is to develop character.
There is no doubt but that we must learn a few facts while we
are here, but are we really developing a noble character? How
many of us ever pay any attention to growth and enlargement
along this line? How many of us rather raise the argument that
there is not time to be given to minor details? We think they
can easily be neglected in the rush, and attention given only to
the things of more importance. And we think this because we do
not stop to realize how much difference these small things make.
It is as someone has said, ‘the small things in life are the ones that
count.”

This can be noticed especially at meals. There is a rush to
get through in order to study a few minutes before the next class
or catch the next street car, or for some other similar reason,
manifested at each meal. We have not the time to be sociable or
even agreeable at the table. Not only do we rush through, and
leave the table as soon as’ we have finished, but we are often so
preoccupied while there that we never stop to think about the
others present. They can get things the best way possible, but
must not bother us in any way.

This is bad enough now, but, what is worse, we are forming
habits that cannot be very easily broken. Ovid recognized the
great force of habit, he said,

“Til habits gather by unseen degrees,
As brooks make rivers, rivers run to seas.”

We may excuse ourselves for some slight discourtesy on the |
excuse of work and lack of time, but this will soon become a habit
that is much worse. And then, can we excuse ourselves?

CHAPEL ATTENDANCE

It is a deplorable fact, but every week chapel attendance seems
steadily to fall off. We wonder at this because there are many
reasons why we should go to chapel. In the first place, this is one
of the best ways of keeping up with what is happening on and off
the campus. It is at this time that many announcements are
made and if we are not present we miss them and find ourselves
completely out of things. Meetings, lectures, parties and the
like take place of which we are totally ignorant.

And too, the chapel service five days a week helps to give us |
the religious atmosphere that is so desirable at school. A half
hour spent in prayer and devotion each morning is a distinct ad-
vantage. In our quest of knowledge we are apt to spend so much
time studying that we neglect the spiritual side of our natures.
And yet this aspect should develop along with the others in
order for us to get the most out of life, in order that we may
be fully educated.

However, if we go to chapel, we should remember that it is
primarily a place of worship. Many, however, must consider it a
suitable time for reading letters and papers or discussing topics of
interest with someone near. Besides depriving ourselves of the
benefit of these services, we distract others’ attention and thus be-
come a source of annoyance to everyone near. We should re-
member that quiet and an attitude of reverence should prevail.

Journal Editor
Praises Agnes Scott
Lecture Association

Comment Favorable and En-
couraging.

We quote an editorial written by
Mr. Cole Jones of the Atlanta Journal
which comments most favorably upon
the efforts of the Lecture Associa-
in bringing recognized lecturers to
Agnes Seott and to Atlanta.

The Agnes Scott Lectures

For Atlantians who have intellec-
tual interests a gold-letter event of
the autumn will be the opening on
Thursday evening, October the eight-
eenth, of the Agnes Scott College
Lecture Association’s series of ad-
dresses by famous scientists, authors,
explorers and achievers in other
realms. None whose happy fortune
it has been to taste of these programs
in years gone by needs a reminder of
their meatiness and rare flavor. Ever
distinctive, ever enjoyable, the Agnes
Scott lectures have earned a place all
their own in the community’s ap-
preciation. The announcements for
the season about to begin show how
well this standard will be sustained.

The first of the 1928-1929 lectures,
all of which will be given in the col-
lege auditorium, is by that remark-
able naturalist, Dr. Herbert Spencer

WE THINK!

We Think it is high time something
was done about the chapel situation.
Herewith we offer our suggestions
(we are remembering the constructive
nature of this column!).

At present the chapel service means
little to the majority of us. We do
not mean to speak irreverently. The
program is too full of announcements
and stunts; there is too little worship.

We are strongly in favor of dividing
the chapel services between the devo-
tional and the educational—that is, de-
voting one or two days a week to a
program entirely religious, and allow-
ing the extra-chapel features to take
the other days. On these latter oc-
easions it would be well to have speak-
ers from among the faculty or from
Atlanta. Whatever they might have
to say should be limited to fiifteen
minutes. Furthermore, an effort should
be made to procure the most inter-
esting people possible. College stu-
dents are not expected to enjoy a talk
which has as its most emphatic point
the abolishment of toothbrushes in the
interest of heathen.

These are only suggestions. Prob-
ably they are of no value. However,
we disliked to make our criticism en-
tire destructive.

30.

There are many lovely traditions of
Agnes Scott which are truly a part of
her so-called personality. One of the
loveliest is our chapel period. The
majority of people here must agree

sides of the Atlantic, and has been| with this, because they continue to
signally honored by learned bodies at;come to the services, although atten-

home and abroad.

The second of the series, Monday,
October the twenty-ninth, will intro-
duce to Atlanta and its neighbor cities
M. Auguste V. Desclos, one of the
leading contemporary figures in
French education, who will speak on
“University Life in Paris in the Past
and Present,” illustrating his lecture
with artistic views. On February the
fourth will come Cecil Roberts, emi-
nent English novelist and critic, to
talk on “What Europe Is Thinking.”
On February the eleventh Mrs. Percy
V. Pennypacker, distinguished club
woman and journalist at Geneva, will
discuss “International Relations as
Viewed From the Press Gallery.”
Especially interesting, too, should be
the illustrated travel talk on March
the seventh by Gilbert McClurg, “Fly
With Me Above Pike’s Peak.”

These are typical of the range, the
variety and the worth of the series.
The Agnes Scott Lecture Association
is to be congratulated on what it is
doing for its own college community
and also on its graciousness in shar-
ing these opportunities with the pub-
lie.

Alumnae News

Welcome home, Virginia Carrier—
we are mighty glad to see our “peppy
little girl” back again—even if it is
only for a short week.

The Agnes Scott alumnae in Colum-
bus, Ga., have increased so in number
that they have organized a Columbus
Alumnae Club with Clarkie Davis, ’26,
as vice-president.

Emily Spivey, ’25, is teaching this
winter in Hartwell, Ga. She was pro-
fessor at Monroe A. and M. School
this summer. -

We are so sorry to hear of the ill-
ness of Mary Wallace Kirk—former
president of the Alumnae Association.
She is still at the Piedmont Sanitar-

ium. Everyone hopes for a rapid re-|

covery for her.
Grace Zachry was married recently.
Martha Crowe was maid of honor.

Miss Jean Davis—formerly professor !

at Agnes Scott—came down to attend
the wedding.

Martha Johnston, ’27, whom we all
remember as the girl with the “won-
derful voice,” is a member of the
Westminister Choir in Ohio.

Miriam Preston, ’28, sister of Shan-
non Preston, and who is with her par-
ents in Korea this winter, is intending
to visit this country again in the
spring.

Hulda McNeel, ’27, is making her
debut this winter in Birmingham, Ala.

dance is not compulsory as in many

colleges. However,.we cannot feel
that they come because they really
get much in the way of spiritual rest
and worship from the service. They
come rather because of force of habit
or because they are afraid that they
will miss some important announce-
ment or an amusing skit.

It is contrary to human nature for
a person to rush into chapel from a
class, talk to her neighbor-vociferous-
ly about what she is doing the next
week-end and then at a given signal
attain an attitude of prayer. Hymns
are sung meaninglessly because they
are sung immediately following—per-
haps a take off on the faculty. Human
beings—not even Agnes Scott girls—
are not made that way. Shall we let
our chapel service become “vain words
and repetitions” to us?

Wouldn’t it be much easier to at-
tain an attitude of prayer if there
were no talking during the prelude?
Mr. Dieckmann plays beautiful selec-
tions at that time. Wouldn’t it be
better if we handed notices to Miss
Hopkins before chapel, stating the
nature of the announcement to be
made. Wouldn’t it be better if we
would come to chapel on time, not en-
tering after the doors are closed?

On analysis it seems as though the
fault is mainly with us. The worship
and rest are available—but by insert-
ing other things into our chapel serv-
ice we do not find them. Let us do
our part and we are sure that those
who are in charge of our chapel serv-
ice will meet us half-way.

THE AGONTES TIC

Well, seeing winter time is here—
and, strange to say, people don’t seem
to mind at all. Of course, this brisk
air makes you feel real nice and
peppy and all that; but somehow we
think there’s an ulterior motive be-
hind all this joyousness at the icy
wind, cold blasts, ete., and it’s that
here are just piles of simply gorgeous
new fur coats hanging in the closets
fairly longing to be worn, see? And
again being conventional and remark-
ing on the weather, did you know
there’s only forty-eight more days til
snow and holly and mistletoe and
Christmas holidays? It’s really thrill-
ing just to count and see how very

many days have gone already.
But—it’s never wise to rush things
too much, so let’s drop the subject of
days and how many and weather, and
just notice all the social butterflies of

this week and society in general. The
Sophomores and the Cotillion are de-
veloping into huge rivals when it
comes to giving tea-dances, and we’ve
certainly a real interest in the dances
in Atlanta, since so many of the A.
S. cuties are rating, and more people
going home for the week-end. Now
for the details—

Martha Kirven spent several days
last week with Elmore and Ellen.

Mary Brown spent last week-end in

May Day Committee
Begins Plans

The May Day Committee held its
first fall meeting last Wednesday
afternoon at which time the scenario
for our next spring production was
diseussed. There are plans in view of
making of May Day a unique affair
this term, of having it at night with
lighting effects, and of dancing some
well-known piece of literature, per-
haps a masque. The committee desires
to obtain student opinion in this mat-
ter. Let us hear your reaction to
such suggestions or give us your ideas
along other lines if these plans do
not please you.

For the benefit of the new students
it might be explained that May Day
is one of the leading events of the
school year, being given usually the
first Saturday in May by a selected
cast from the interpretive dancing
classes. Some legend from mythol-
ogy or theme of a national character
is danced in pantomime. The whole
production including the scenario is
the work of the students who are di-
rected in their efforts by a member of
the Gym Department. A committee
directs the work throughout the year.

Members of this committee for the
current year include: Raemond Wilson,
Mary Nell Logan, Virginia Sears,
Margaret McCoy, Mary Ellis, Myra
Jersey and Lucile Bridgman.

Charlotte Teasley was the guest of
Sara Cross Smith for the Senior party
at North Avenue Presbyterian School
last week.

Mary and Clyde Lovejoy went home
for the week-end.

end in Atlanta with Mrs. R. Pardie.

‘Ten-Mile Hike to

Be on November 5

Hikers Will Go to Child’s
for Supper.

The big hike to Child’s in Atlanta
has been postponed until Monday, No-
vember 5, For many reasons it was
necessary to make this change, but the
hiking manager assures everyone that
the hike will take place on November
5. Meanwhile a short organized hike
will be held some day this week. It
will be of advantage to those plan-
ning to take ten-mile hike to also first
take this shorter hike in preparation
for the more strenuous one.

The hiking manager also announces
that ten-mile hikes may be taken in-
dividually and any hiker taking 8 un-
organized 3-mile hikes, 5 organized
short hikes and one ten-mile hike be-
comes automatically a member of the
hiking squad. Later in the year the
hiking squad is to hike to Stone Moun-
tain, spending the night at Pine Lodge.
The hiking program this year is one
of the most attractive Agnes Scott
has ever had and many hikers are
planning to go on the next one—At-
lanta and Child’s!

Mistake in Date Dr.
Moregan’s Lectures

correspondence with Dr. Frank Mor-
gan, his series of lectures at Agnes
Seott will not be given in November.
The date for these lectures has been
changed from November to the first
week in February.

Dr. Morgan is quite a favorite on
Agnes Scott’s campus and his lectures
are always generally enjoyed. Friends
and patrons of the college, as well
as students, are looking forward with
much interest to Dr. Morgan’s visit in
February.

Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Dieckmann an-
nounce the birth of a daughter Oc-
tober 28th.

girls, whom he graciously character-
ized as “tres charmantes.”

He then proceeded to express his
pleasure in Mademoiselle Marguerite
Gerard’s being with us and enlarged
upon the fact that life is much more
agreeable in an American college than
in a French boarding school. The
latter are usually situated in old cities,
are enclosed by high walls, and have
no very pleasant surroundings. There
the girls work all day from eight until
five o’clock, with the only intermis-
sion the luncheon interval, and, after
the day’s classes are over, study until
late at night, preparing for the next
day’s work. They have few interest-
ing outside activities, missing entirely
the joy we have in sports. But he went
on to say that during vacation they
have a very good time and that they
are a fine and courageous group.

From the boarding school girls Mon-
sieur Desclos passed on to speak of
women in general and their position in
the life of France. He emphasized
the fact that woman has held a place
of eminence from very early times,
citing the examples of Saint Gene-
vieve, who encouraged the people of
Paris to defend themselves against At-
tila and his invading Huns, thereby
being made patron saint of the city, and
the universally known heroine, Joan
of Arc, the courageous maid of Or-
leans. Here, after stressing woman’s
important position in social and liter-
ary life, Monsieur Desclos interrupted
himself to inquire if he were wearying
his audience and if he was being un-
derstood. After an emphatic negative
answer to the former and proudly en-
thusiastic affirmative to the latter
question, he graciously continued.

He spoke of the pride of the French
people in their civilization, on which
the influence of women has been great
in their contributions of grace, human-
ity, and refinement. Even in the
Middle Ages this influence was pres-
ent—in the “courts d’ amour.” At the
end of the epoch of the Renaissance
when France was torn by civil wars—
Catholics leagued against Protestants
—men became rude and brutal. In the
seventeenth century the counteracting
spirit from the salon of Madame de
Rambouillet destroyed these tenden-
cies, creating elegance and good taste.
Later the thought emanating from
such salons led to the French Revolu-
tion. Such names as those of Madame
Rolande and Madame de Stael, who
stimulated an interest in German liter-
ature, are familiar to all of us. In
the later history of France we find
among the women equally well-known
figures, such as George Sand and
Madame Cure. In France today the
women are on the same intellectual
plane as the men, studying exactly the
same things.

Monsieur Desclos closed his very
delightful address by expressing a
hope that some of the students of
Agnes Scott might one day study in
France, where the university life is
very free and interesting.

CLUBS

The Debating Council of Pi Alpha
Phi was highly gratified at the num-
ber trying out and at the excellent
qualify of the tryouts for the club
last Wednesday night. From the point
of view of both material and delivery,
they were the best in several years.
The questions of immigration and
state control of liquor traffic were the
favorite subjects. The new members
to be admitted to the club are: Kather-
ine Crawford, Elizabeth Hamilton,
Marie Baker, Nancy Crockett, Mildred
McCallip, and Julia Thompson.

TO LARGE AUDIENCE

four—the faculties of arts, theology,
ers of similar subjects became group-
ed into faculties. Of these there were
law, and medicine. Pach faculty had
a dean at its head.

The students were divided into the
four nations of Normandy, Picardy,
England, and France, under a head
with the title of procurator.

The head of the university was
cealled—and is still called—the rector.

The university had little indepen-
dence, being engaged in constant
struggle with either civil or ecclesias-
tical powers. Against the former was
sought the aid of the king; against the
latter, that of the pope. The civil strug-
gle was put to an end, at length, by the
riot of town and gown, after which
Philip Augustus took the university
from civil jurisdiction and placed it
under ecclesiastical authority.

From that time onward there was
constant bickering between ecclesiast-
ics and students until finally an appeal
to Innocent HI in 1213 put an end
to the authority of bishops over stu-
dents,

Three years later the right of going
on strike was obtained. It was prob-
ably during one of these periods that
the great migration took place which
resulted in the founding of the Uni-
versity of Oxford.

In 1257 the university was granted
a seal which was a symbol of its in-
dependence.

The students of the time were
rowdy, quarrelsome rascals, attaining
their sustenance by fair means or
foul. Of these Francois Villon was
typical. i

Pity finally brought a few rich people
to build colleges or dormitories free
for the use of students. Masters
gradually began to hold classes there.
One of the most famous of these col-
leges was that built by Robert de
Sorbonne, chancellor of Louis IX, for
the poor theological masters and stu-
dents. This, Monsieur Desclos said,
might be called the cornerstone of the
University of Paris.

Thus it may be seen that the uni-
versity was becoming important,
wealthy, and honored. It stood with
the church and the throne as the third
power in the state.

During the thirteenth century Paris
witnessed an incredible thirst for
knowledge. This was the heyday of
dialectics. In the university curricu-
lum were the seven liberal arts (the
trivium and quadrinium) and the three
technical arts.

Double-Header
Hockey Game
Held Friday

Sophs Defeat Juniors; Sen-
iors and Frosh Tie.

In ideal weather for hockey, two
of the best games of the season were
played last Friday afternoon. The
Juniors suffered defeat at the hands
of the Sophomores when Jean Grey
scored a goal in the first half. The
Freshmen and Seniors tied, 2-2, due
to a rallying of the Freshmen in the
second half. The Seniors outplayed
the Freshmen in the first half in
which North scored. Knight scored
the second goal for the Seniors in the
second half but Bowman and Wilson
sayed the game for the Freshmen by
each scoring a:goal. The-line-up was

fact that no provision is made for
maintenance of the student; the na-
ture and scope of the work attempt-
ed; and the fact that it is concerned
not at all with applied science. The
aim of the university, he stated, is
to train the higher faculties, to en-
courage persona! research and the ad-
vance of specific knowledge, and to
introduce harmony between all
branches of learning. Its basis is the
eult of ideas and faith in human
reason.

Abelard whose influence was com-
parable to that of Voltaire at a later
period. Among the great disciples
of great teachers were Thomas Aqui-
nas and Dante.

At this time the university was the
tutor of all nations, the educator of
mankind, and a factor in Christian
nationalism.

The University at Paris took little
interest in the revival of learning, and
the following decades witnessed its
decline.

With the reinstatement of the south-
ern republic Paris came again into its
own, the university being welded into
a corporate body with a life of its own.

Monsicur Desclos brought out three
peculiarities of the university: the

financial difficulties. Monsieur Desclos
showed several pictures of the campus
houses of various nations—Japan,
Canada, and others.

In conclusion, he affirmed France’s
realization of the greatness of her op-
portunity and responsibility, and ex-
pressed a wish that it might be the
privilege of Agnes Scott girls in the
future to study at the University of
Paris.

dear, this boy she writes to at W. and
L. got twenty-one Freshmen to write
her letters, and they all wrote on the
same day—a perfect deluge of mail—
can you think of a grander way to
be drowned to death? And, Giddy,
she’s gotten twenty-one Freshmen in
Main to each answer a letter. Wouldn’t
it be grand if they’d get twenty-one
bids to the dances (one of those love-
ly dances like Frances Musgrave got a
bid to—a fine engraved invite to a
chauffeur’s ball).

Poor Lynn Moore says she objects
to long distance courting seriously—it
takes entirely too long to get letters
from Boston. So she’s started writing
to another Bill a little nearer home
(South Carolina is closer than Massa-
chusetts, you know). Poor electrical
engineer! (’cept I never would have
tried to spell the state that Boston’s in
if I’d know how hard it was). And Jo
Barry tried to help me out and insist-
ed on as many doubled s’s as in Mis-
sissippi.

Dorothy Cheek’s love doesn’t need
to write, since he picks such beautiful
substitutes for letters. He sent her
the most gorgeous basket of roses the
other day, just when I’d come to the
conclusion that Miss Hopkins was the
only person on the campus who ever
got flowers.

May Day Committee
Begins Making Plans

Scenarios and Suggestions for
Program Are Due by
Noy. 20.

The May Day Committee met Wed-
nesday afternoon to discuss the ques-
tion of the scenario for next May’s
presentation. Try-outs for this theme
are now open to the student body and
all ideas will be greatly appreciated.
These suggestions should be handed in
written form to any member of the
committee or put in the May Day box
in Main by November 20. The students
are especially asked to consider the
question of producing the May Day
scenario at night and to enter any
ideas for lighting effects which might
prove interesting.

May Day at Agnes Scott has for
years been one of the outstanding
events of the year and the committee
this year is determined to present
something of decided beauty and in-
terest. Im the past such scenarios as
the legends of Endymion, Proserpine,
Cupid and Psyche, Pandora, Narcissus,
Hiawatha, Robin Hood have been
danced with equal success.

A bulletin board in the library is
soon to be filled with various sugges-
tions and scenes from different sorts
of May Days. You are asked to con-
sult this board and to write down any
ideas which you may have along this
line.

Agonistic Staff Goes
Over Georgian Plant

Entertained With Tea By
Helen Jackson.

Members of the Agonistie staff and
reporters were shown through the
Georgian Thursday afternoon by Mrs.
Garter of the art department and Mr.
Kamp of the business department.

The girls were able to see all the in-
ner workings of a newspaper. They
were shown first the processes gone
through in the making of the pictures
for the paper, then the little pigeon-
holes where pictures of all the promi-
nent people in the world are kept—
pictures of Hoover and Smith and
Lindbergh and even of society girls
who might some day do something
spectacular. The girls were taken to
the rooms where all the foreign and
national news was received by auto-
matic telegraph machines. Of course
they had their names “written” in the
code on the news tape. The “Agon-
istic” inspected the printing machines
and had “Agnes Scott” printed in
headline type. The printers even
made two hundred papers just for
them, and Mr. Kamp gave the girls
Sunday’s funny paper three days
ahead of time. The girls were shown
the sport room, too, “the cleanest in
the country.” The whole Georgian
staff helped to make the trip very in-
teresting and instructive.

Most enjoyable, too, was the delight-
ful informal tea for the girls given
by Helen Jackson and her mother at
their charming home. Indeed, this
was a perfect climax to the afternoon.

taken as the Seniors passed Agnes, Scott Hall.

Investiture, the outstanding event
of the past week, indeed one of the
biggest events of the year, took place
last Saturday morning in the chapel.
It marked the occasion our Seniors
have been looking forward to for
many weeks. In this service, unique-
ly Agnes Scott’s, they were invested
with the collegiate cap and gown, their.
academic attainment “vas publiely
recognized and they were formally an-
nounced as the leaders of the school
life.

With a simple beginning when
Agnes Scott dropped the name “In-
stitue” and became a college, the elab-
orateness and beauty of the Investi-
ture ceremony has become increas-
ingly impressive. The class sisters of
the Seniors, the Sophomores, dressed
in white, formed a double line through
which the entire faculty and the seven-
ty-nine members of the class of ’29
marched. Dr. McCain introduced the
speaker, Miss Louise Hale, member of
the faculty. Miss Hale was elected by
the Senior class to address them in
this service. Her address follows:

I offer you this morning two-fold
congratulations: first, upon having, as
Seniors, reached the time when you
put on the academic cap and gown and
take up its concomitant ideals and re-
sponsibiilties; and secondly, I con-
gratulate you upon being Seniors at
Agnes Scott College.

In the somewhat anomalous position
of being now a member of your class
but of not graduating with you in May
and not being eligible to the honor of
sharing your Alma Mater, that I may
speak to you with due modesty, I
speak as the daughter of another in-
stitution.

In congratulating you upon belong-
ing to Agnes Scott, may I review
briefly her remarkable history as out-
lined by Dr. Gaines in his history of
the college?

Begun in 1889 to fill a crying need
for a good elementary school, she bore
the name of the Decatur Female Sem-
inary. The next year a gift of forty
thousand dollars was made by Col.
Robert Scott, a citizen of Decatur, with
the proviso that the school should bear
the name of his mother. Accordingly,
the Decatur Female Seminary became
the Agnes Seott Institute. -The next
year Colonel Scott added to his gift,
finding the first amount inadequate to
provide the kind of building he de-
sired as a home for Agnes Scott stu-
dents. This building was well equip-
ped with all the latest improvements
and at a cost of one hundred twelve
thousand two hundred and fifty dol-
lars, at that time the largest indi-
vidual gift ever made in the state to
the cause of education. That is the
building we now call Main Building.

Gradually, the elementary grades of
the school were eliminated as higher
grades were added and the Institute
became a college preparatory school of
a standing high enough to be admitted
to the Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools of the Southern
States.

The preparatory school desired to
become a college. The requirements of
admission as such were ascertained
from the Association and were gradu-
ally met with. The preparatory school
department and the college
ment were entirely separated. In 1907
the Association admitted Agnes Scott,
and the Institute was divided into
Agnes Scott College and Agnes Scott
Academy. In 1920 Agnes Scott re-
ceived still higher recognition and was
admitted into the American Associa-
tion of University. In 1925-26 recog-
nition was given by the honor society,
Phi Beta Kappa, and a chapter estab-
lished on the campus. Agnes Scott is
one of three women’s colleges in this

depart- |

section of the country to have this
honor. ‘ :

This growth and these changes were
not accomplished without appalling
struggles and truly heroic endeavor,
particularly on the part of its presi-
dent, Dr. Gaines, and its dean, Miss
Hopkins.

Aside from. the financial crises
through which the Institution andthe
college passed, growth was very diffi-
cult due to two obstacles:

(1) the high academic standard of
the school,

(2) the low standard of education
in the minds of the people.

Many students came for one year
only, and few lasted four years. Many
were called home before examination
periods.

Within the first year after the
founding of the elementary school its
ideal was formulated by Dr. Gaines.
This ideal has six points which have
never ceased to be the guiding policy
of the school: ;

(1) “A liberal curriculum fully
abreast of the best instituitons of this
country.”

(2) “The Bible a text-book.”

(3) “Thoroughly qualified and conse-
erated teachers.”

(4) “A high standard of scholar-
ship.”

(5) “All the influences of the col-
lege conducive to the formation and
development of Christian character,”

(6) “The glory of God, the chief end
of all.”

I think Dr. Gaines believed the col-
lege had been successful in inculeat-
ing these ideals in its students and so
in disseminating them throughout
Georgia and the neighboring states, as
many of the students became teachers
in their turn. He found that Agnes
Seott had given to its students:

Agnes Scott
Is for Hoover
Straw Vote on Friday Shows

Preference of Students
and Faculty.

Much excitement was created among
the members of the student body and
the faculty last week when a straw
vote of the coming election was taken.
Two days previous to the voting in-
teresting stump speeches were made
in chapel, each speaker eager to in-
fluence someone’s vote. On the day
before the election those wishing to
vote were required to register, paying
a poll tax of 1 cent.

Friday was the eventful day when
Agnes Scott chose its national presi-
dent. The voting was conducted in
precisely the same manner as are real
ones. A long sheet of paper on which
was printed candidates for different
parties—mayor and minor officers—
was presented the girls as they enter-
ed the voting room of the gym. After
being instructed as to how to check
the desired officer, the voter was
shown to a private booth which she
entered to cast her vote,

Hoover, though a Republican, was
chosen by Agnes Scott—both by popu-
lar and electoral vote. The majority
of popular votes was thirty-one—the
state’s votes even larger. It remains
to he seen whether the nation shall
choose as Agnes Scott did.

EDITORIAL

Investiture, that most impressive and awe-inspiring cere-
mony, took place Saturday, November the third. This is the time
when Miss Hopkins places the academic cap on each Senior for the
first time. She thus acknowledges her as a natural leader of the
college and as worthy of upholding the trust that is placed in
her. This ceremony, that is observed by Agnes Scott alone, was
begun in a very simple manner when Agnes Scott Institute became
Agnes Scott College and the fourth-year students had the privilege
of wearing caps and gowns. In those days it took only the usual
chapel period, but as time went on, and the number of students
increased, this ceremony became more elaborate and the Sopho-
mores were given a part in it.

Gradually a deeper realization of its meaning and significance
has come to exist. There is a two-fold meaning now attached to
Investiture. First, there is the public acknowledgment of the fel-
lowship that exists between Agnes Scott students and students
the world over. This custom of wearing the academic cap and
gown was begun during the Renaissance and denotes the per-
sistence of the ideals of scholarship that were held then. Just
what are the ideals that are our heritage today? In other words
what do we mean by scholarship that is symbolized by wearing the
cap and gown? ‘True scholarship, as someone has said, means the
‘nower of self-direction, of seeking knowledge and discerning its
import.” She who was invested and is wearing this symbol of

scholarship should these She should have
the power of self-direction, should be able to master herself and
do the thing for which she is best fitted. She must recognize
her own talents and abilities and be able to direct them in the right
channels in the way that will mean most to her and to those in-
terested in and connected with her. She should also have, by this
time, attained the power of seeking knowledge, and, a thing more
important, should be able to discern “its import’’ An accumu-
lation of facts that has no meaning to the student be of no value
whatsoever. We cannot hope to find a person who knows all
about everything, but we may be able to find one who knows
enough to be able to find what she wants to know easily and quick-
ly. This individual whom we would call the highest type of scholar
will not only have attained knowledge, but will have applied it
and derived benefit thereof. She, who would consider, had dis-
cerned the “import” of knowledge.

possess powers.

There is a still deeper meaning, however, to the Senior her-
self. She realizes that she has attained, in part, the goal for
which she has struggled. She is grateful that the efforts of the
post three years have not been in vain, she feels triumphant be-
cause she has succeeded to this extent. And yet, she feels humble
and a bit hesitant as she realizes the tremendous trust that Agnes
Scott places in her and the heritage that is now hers. She is
pledging to uphold the ideals that have thus been handed ‘down
to her, to become a link in the great chain of scholars of all ages.
Tt is thus that Investiture is of especial significance and has a dis-
tinct meaning to every student at Agnes Scott.

By no means do we think that their
respective purposes be changed, but
simply that they be broadened. We

Hurray for Giddie

I believe our thinking has gone thus
far: Chapel is a very nice break be-
tween the rush of classes. It could
be more than this. It could afford
the moment of taking stock, and
clutching more firmly to a _ sanely-
balanced thought-day which everyone
needs. More than this, it could have

spiritual. And it could be attractively
educational.

Agreed so far—but how? A few
suggestions have cropped up, here and
there. In the first place, we might
give ourselves a chance. We have be-
come unconsciously adept in the art
of being bored with and non-receptive
to ourselves and others in chapel.
Again, the religious service might be
shorter, less formal, and less stereo-
typed. Lastly, is it really impossible to
find speakers whose interest is nearly
proportional to their volubility? A
fifteen-minute (yes, really, fifteen)
talk three times a week on subjects
varying from “Why the Atlanta Geor-
gian” by its editor (he at least should
know, if nobody else does) to, “Why
the Women Vote for Smith, or Do
They?” to “Briefly, Why I Do Not
Believe in the League of Nations” and
“Carl Sandburg’s Latest Outburst;
How Does He Do It!” would really
be valuable. The speaker would ex-
haust neither his subject nor his audi-
ence, there being some virtue in both.

Is this the product of campus
thought on the weary old subject of
chapel? If not, what is?

It was announced at the first of the
year that there was to be no noise in
the library. So far this has been any-
thing but true. The library has be-
come a hangout for bull sessions. The
hoipoiloi gather in the galleries and
hold debates while the departmental
rooms are as social as the coffee
houses of Queen Anne’s day. Person-
ally we are for sociability and for bull
sessions. But not in the library. No
one person or group of persons is to
blame. The fault is that of the cam-
pus at large. Now that the time of
term papers is drawing near, every
one should make it her personal re-
sponsibility to see that she is con-
siderate of those who are working.

started at Denver with an enrollment
exceeding that of previous years:

The present experiment is for check-
ing the ability of girls to learn a com-
plex neuro-musecular activity. The

turned in their data to be compared
with the results of this new class.

This work is used by the Depart-
ment of Physical Education as a type
of original research on the learning
process.

The work to date has enlisted the
interest of psychologists all over the

Day Student News

Day Students have always regretted
that they have never had an oppor-
tunity to learn the school songs and
cheers in order to be regular Hotten-
tots at the stunts and other oceasions
that call for a show of pep and spirit.
Therefore at the meeting held last
Thursday morning it was decided that
Day Student pep meetings be held
every two weeks. This necessitated
electing a girl, capable and enthusias-
tic, to lead cheers. Ray Knight was
elected cheer leader, and we are sure
that she will make an excellent one.
These meetings should increase “Day
Student spirit” a great deal—a thing
that seems at present to be a little
lacking.

At this meeting Sally Peake also
made an announcement concerning Y.
W. She showed the need of funds and
urged that Day Students take ad-
vantage of the privilege of subscrib-
ing. She also gave another invitation
to join Y. W.

Other plans were discussed, but no
definite decisions were reached.

Mr. and Mrs. Dieckmann
Announce Birth of Daughter

Mr. and Mrs. Dieckmann, as most
of us know, were visited by the fabled
stork on Sunday, October 28. The wise
bird presented them with a baby
daughter, who is to be named Adele
Pope for Mrs. Dieckmann’s mother.
When asked about Adele, Mr. Dieck-
mann said that although he is not in-
discriminately fond of babies, he
thinks she is “a mighty sweet baby,”
and a most well-behaved one, accord-
ing to the nurses at the hospital. We
are all glad to welcome another future
Hottentot—one of the increasing
number of forty-niners, as Mr. Orr ex-
pressed it.

Investiture
Service Held

(Continued from page One)

A true conception of education by
holding them to a high, honest stand-
ard.

Real training in the cultivation of
all these faculties, thereby making
them what he called “problem-soly-
ers.”

This, then is your inheritance. In
donning the cap and gown, you ac-
cept this heritage and publicly pledge
yourself to uphold the ideals of Agnes
Scott.

Let us not think that, because
Agnes Scott has magnificently come
through her trials in the past, she may
henceforth grow in carefree peace.
Her problems remain so fundamental-
ly the same that they have scarcely
changed in aspect. Let me enumer-
ate them again:

(1) financial pressure.

(2) the high academic standards of
the school.

(3) the low standards of education
in the mind of the public.

We are launched upon a campaign
to raise a million dollars. The col-
lege can not go forward and fill the
place it has made for itself without
more money. We feel that a college
with these ideals must not. fail, do
we not? ‘In the past Col. Scott, and
after him Mr. S. J. Inman contributed
largely. Who is to take thier place
enabling Agnes Scott to go over the
top? The College Board of Education
has contributed largely because it
recognized the value of Agnes Scott
standards. At present the Board is
turning away from the woman’s col-
lege and is giving to universities. It
is our duty to convince this board that
womens colleges are as worth while as
they ever were and that Agnes Scott
has waned neither in her standards nor
in her value.

Aceording to Dr. Gaines, Agnes
Scott has ever and shall ever aim to
be the best possible college irrespec-
tive of Association standards. We are
therefore irrevocably pledged to a high
standard. The colleges throughout the
country are coming in for a broad-
side of criticism which seems based
on a strong feeling that the colleges
are inadequate and that this inade-
quacy should be remedied at once.
Most of us are quite ready to grant,
I think, that colleges are inadequate,
but the remedy is difficult to find.
Various experiments are being made
throughout the country, both along the
lines of entrance requirements and of
courses in the college, varying systems
of elective subjects, and grouping of
students according to honors permit-
ting those who are qualified to do more
advanced and independent work than

is possible for the average student.
Through these many experiments, pro-
gress will doubtless be made. But
progress will be slow as long as the
third of our problems remains so
great, that is, the low standard of edu-
cation in the mind of the public. The
education of the child from the begin-
ning through the secondary school is
generally inadequate. With deficient
training the boy or girl reaches col-
lege. It then becomes the task of the
college to give, in so far as possible,
that training which should have been
begun many years sooner. The idea
of mastery of a subject, instead of
passing of a course, seems to burst
upon some students with the newness
of a snow storm seen for the first time.
But sadder, upon others it never bursts
at all, is never even slowly or dully
comprehended by some.

Until the students of a college are
earnestly seeking the mastery of a
subject, how ean education be other
than hopelessly incomplete?

In conclusion, it is your duty, in my
opinion, members of the Senior class,
to accept these responsibilities: to
maintain to your utmost the ideals of
Agnes Scott and to promote a true
conception of education; that is, the
mastery of self through the discipline
of the mind, This duty devolves upon
you at once. It does not wait until
you have your diploma in hand. As
Seniors, you are the most influential
body upon the campus. Your influence
radiates like the sunshine. Every at-
titude upon the campus may justly be
laid at your door. This is tremendous
power. May you use it well and when
you go forth in May, carry with you
the Agnes Scott ideal.

Giddy, my dear,

Just a note is all I'll have time for.
You’ve never seen anything like the
term paper they’ve been assigning us
lately. They must be trying to make
us as intelligent as the Seniors looked
Saturday (though Sally Cothran said
she felt like a caricature). They (the
Seniors this time) certainly didn’t look
very intelligent Friday, but wasn’t it
fun to see them? And I'll never for-
get that cute Mary Prim in that pink
ruffled organdy.
mama had just curled her hair, brush-
ing it around her finger, and put Hud-
nuts on her handkerchief, and kissed
her goodby to go to the birthday party.
I never could have imagined Marion
Green actually looking like a little
girl. Oh, my dear, she had a letter
from her Englishman the other day
addressed to Miss Agnes Scott, Marion
Green College, Decatur, Ga. He must
have gotten excited over that over-
life size tinted picture she sent him.

I know Leonora Briggs never makes
any mistakes like that. Giddy, do you
know, she writes her letters and gets
in a room by herself and reads them
out loud and makes corrections in
pencil. That’s‘a fine way to write that
term paper I have on my mind now.
But I had to stop eevn it to go to

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1928

Million Dollar Endowment Campaign.

Great Field Is
Accepted By
Agnes Scott

A glance at the map showing the
private colleges for women in the
United States having chapters of Phi
Beta Kappa will reveal to us that
Agnes Scott is the only institution in
seven southern states having this dis-
tinction, and with the exception of
Sophie Newcomb and Randolph-Macon
the only one in the South, whereas in
the North and East there is one such
college for almost every state.

In addition to this Agnes Scott also
holds two very important offices in
the Association of Colleges and Secon-
dary Schools of the Southern States
and is the only institution in the South
so honored. In this association Dr. Mc-
Cain is on the Executive Committee of
the Commission on Higher Institu-
tions and also chairman of the Com-
mittee on Reports from Member In-

stitutions.

Furthermore Agnes Scott has alum-
nae all over the world, who has been
outstanding in whatever field they fol-
lowed and have always lived up to
the ideal inculeated in them by their
Alma Mater.

Many people are becoming imbued
with the mistaken idea that women’s
colleges are getting to be more and
more superfluous because women are
doing the same work as men and
therefore the co-educational college
can supply the need of both men and
women. For this very reason the Gen-
eral Education Board is gradually
withdrawing its support to colleges
and giving it to universities. This
board has helped us at three different
times because it believes in Agnes

(Continued on Page Six)

Present Drive
Recalls Cam-
paign of 1921

$30,000 Raised by Faculty
and Students.

With the advent of our Million Dol-
lar Endowment Campaign there recurs
to the minds of those who were for-
tunate enough to have been associat-

ed with it the memory of the campaign
of 1921.

From the psychological standpoint
it would seem that our campaign has
the advantage over theirs because we
are to start building as soon as we can
collect a sufficient sum of money, and
since their drive was solely for endow-
ment, they never saw any tangible re-
sults from their contributions. The
history of the campaign indicates,
however, that this matter helped more
than otherwise.

All together the amount to be col-
lected was $500,000 and of this the stu-
dents and faculty were to raise $22,-
000, but they worked so hard and gave
so liberally that they actually raised
over $30,000.

This was the year before the death
of Miss Anna Young, who was head
of the math department and after
whom the Alumnae House has since
been named. She was chairman of the
campus campaign and a very good one.
First she took up the matter of the
campaign with a small group of girls
representing all the classes, who in
turn brought the matter before their
respective classes. After this there
were several days in which the girls

wrote home telling their parents about ;

the campaign and took stock of their
own possibilities to approximate the
amount of money they could pledge,

and organized their classes so they |

In addition to this Agnes Scott is
asking the General Education Board
of New York for $500,000, making a
total of one and a half millions that is
being sought. It is uncertain that the
General Education Board will give the
college $500,000, and not at all cer-
tain that they will give anything,
though at several other times they
have given money to Agnes Scott. If
they give the full sum asked for they
would probably want it to be spent
about as follows:

could work more efficiently. Then just
a few hours one morning were set
aside for taking of subscriptions. After
this there was chapel and then the re-
ports from each of the classes was
made. Miss Young stood at an im-
provised blackboard in front of the
chapel and tabulated results as they
came in. BEntiusiasm grew as it be-
came more ana more evident that each
class had not 01 subscribed 100 per
cent but also far exceeded its quota.

Million Dollar En-
dowment Campaign
Is Inaugurated

General Education Board to
Be Asked for $500,000.

Although the growth and develop-
ment of Agnes Scott has been epoch-
making there is one aspect in which
she has not changed and that is in
the need of financial assistance. To
alleviate this need the Board of Trus-
tees at the instigation of the alumnae
inaugurated last May a Million Dol-
lar Endowment Campaign. In addi-
tion to this Agnes Scott also asked the
General Education Board of New York
for $500,000 making a total of a mil-
lion and a half dollars.

The general plan for
funds in this campaign is:

Mr. J. C. Norton, Miss Polly Stone

time to the campaign. Dr. McCain is
working particularly on the General
Education Board. It will not be
known until November whether or not
this board will grant the college’s re-
quest, so no public announcement will
be made until then. Mention should

EDITORIAL

In the life of every individual and every institution there oc-
curs an event which overshadows all others in importance and the
outcome of which largely determines the course of his or its future
existence and its ultimate success or failure. Agnes Scott, on the
eve of its Million Dollar Endowment Campaign, is on the threshold
of such an event. Its outcome depends upon us individually and
collectively. The possibility of failure none of us would consider
so let us see what determines its success.

Several factors enter into the making of a successful cam-
paign and the first and most important of these is a good cause.
If ever an institution had a good cause we are such aone. At the
Investiture Service we heard an account of the remarkable
history of Agnes Scott, how she has grown spite of
almost unsurmountable obstacles, namely the high academic stand-
ards of the school, the low standards of education in the mind of
the ‘public, and financial pressure, into the foremost rank of
women’s colleges in the world. We also heard that, though she has
come through trials in the past she cannot grow in carefree peace
because her problems remain fundamentally the same. She has
now reached the point at which she can no longer go forward and
fill the place she has made for herself without more money. She
is launched upon a campaign to raise a million dollars. Her very
history deserves this success. Another thing which merits it is
her ideal. This ideal, which was formulated by Dr. Gaines, has
never ceased to be the guiding policy of the school. It has been
ineuleated into her students and through them to all parts of the
world.

The second factor which goes into the making of a successful
campaign is the hearty co-operation of everyone taking part in
the campaign. We would offer our assistance with willing hearts
if we knew of the effort expended by our predecessors, not for
themselves, because the things for which they worked were rarely
realized during their sojourn here, but for those who were to come
after them. We would help even more willing if we were endowed

with the spirit of prophecy and could look into the future and see |

how much it has helped us. It has given us first of all a “true con-
ception of education by holding us to a high honest standard,”
secondly, training in the cultivation of those faculties which make
us problem solvers. Then it has given us culture, social position
and varied experience. These gifts can never be valued in dollars
and cents, nor can they be repaid in dollars and cents but we can
thereby express our gratitude, we can help to propagate the ideal
inculcated in us and we can leave a heritage of which we can be
proud to those who come after us. Let us answer the call.

then to smaller groups. The alumnae
in those towns where there are clubs
will be reached by the clubs and those
where there are none will be visited
by either Dr. McCain, Mr. Norton or
Polly Stone, the alumnae secretary.
The more isolated alumnae will have
to be reached by mail. The results will
have to be checked up through class
secretaries.

The response has been whole-heart-
ed, and worthy of the daughters of
Agnes Seott, and gratifying results
have already been obtained. The aver-
age pledge has been $250 payable over
a five-year period, The Alumnae As-
sociation which includes not only those
of Agnes Scott College, but also those
of the Institute and the Academy be-
cause they too wanted a share in the
good work; with the $125,000 quota
which they have set for themselves
have undertaken the building of the
Gaines Memorial Chapel, because most
of them have known Dr. Gaines and
because the chapel will be of most
benefit to them since they can attend
the functions there. Some have already
planned to get marired in it and to
have their babies christened there.

The alumnae and their friends are
co-operating beautifully. They have
already planned many ways of making
money. More than one is making
last winter’s coat last or selling
Christmas cards or making things to
sell.

Watch the alumnae and before long
we will see the new Gaines Memorial
Chapel springing up.

Beaux Arts

“The Closed Garden,” by Julian
Green, translated from the French by
Henry Longan Stuart, has created a
great sensation in literary circles and
it is prophesied by Le Figaro that
Julian Green will soon rank as one of
the best novelists of his generation.

We should be doubly interested in
this young author for although he
was born and educated in France his
parents are American, his mother
being originally from Georgia. “The
Closed Garden” is a book of rare
power, and is an unusual combination
of the novel of adventure and the
analytical novel. It is the story of a
beautiful young French girl who lives
with her tyrannical father and old in-
valid sister in the ugly Vila des
Charmes in a small town of France. In
the description of this sad house and
its inmates, we immediately sense that
tragedy is brewing in the oppressing

monotony; Adrienne, the young girl, |

attempts escape from the dead rou-
tine by falling in love with a man
to whom she had never spoken. As

she goes in and out of the gloomy!

villa, through the closed garden, she
becomes spied upon, misjudged and
persecuted by her father’s sister and
only friend. She refuses to explain.
She battles on suffering until the fear-
ful climax is reached and then goes
mad—through terror.

| Green has been likened to Balzac in
his realism and observation.

Every girl should read this novel
and never again would she think that
she experienced a dull or monotonous
time.

EXCAAQGE

It Isn’t That Sort of a Game
(News and Observer)

In this day of organization when a
college cheer leader is almost as vital
as a good quarterback, we cannot
warm up to the suggestion that comes
from the Pacific Coast Association of
College Yell Leaders for reform in
the way of more dinified college yell-
ing.

We are not sure of this dignity. We
somehow cannot quite see what dig-
nity has to do with college yelling,

and we are very sure that those who’

are looking for dignity within the en-
closures of a stadium or football field
will have to reform the essentials of
football.

If the old grad cannot restrain him-
self within the confines of any dig-
nity he might have wrapped around
himself in the years between the di-
ploma and the present when he sees
his own “purple Hurricane” sweep a
man’s size “Golden Tornado” down
the field for a touchdown, what can
you expect of an undergraduate?

Besides, football isn’t a game for
the nonchalant.

Holy Cross Advocates Extra-curricu-
lar Activities
Interesting it is to note the em-
phasis placed upon extra-curricular
activities at Holy Cross College. All
applicants for admission to said in-
stitution are asked the question: “Do
you pledge yourself to give your time
and ability to the extra curricular ac-
tivities of the College?” Should the
applicant answer negatively, his ap-
plication is questioned and admission
into the college is denied him until a
logical reason is offered.

At Agnes Scott Too
When the Fit Survive

Mendel’s law of the survival of
the fittest is clearly and conclusively
proven in the post office rush.

Imagine a mob scene at the height
of its violence and you will have some
idea of the short girls’ difficulty in
keeping up with her correspondence.
Because of her handicap her roommate
cannot even pass her “long-looked-for”
letter over the heads of someone else,
but she must wait patiently until the
flood-tide of humanity sweeps ruth-
lessly onward leaving her stranded
by her roommate’s side.

Box doors are slammed, letters are
torn, moans are uttered or cries of de-
light, papers are scattered, and then—
comparative quiet reigns—only oc-
casionally a girl walks quietly in and
gazes mournfully into her box. But
the results of those few minutes—At-
illa and his Huns never left such de-
struction as the girls of S. T. ©. leave
after the chapel bell rings.—Rotunda,

Opinion Test Held for U. 8. C.
Students
In an opinion test given recently to

students in chapel, especial attention
is ealled to the question concerning
the Honor Principle, in which 120 boys
and 64 girls stated that they would
say nothing about it. Three boys and
three girls responded that they would
report all those they saw cheating,
and one wrote that he would cheat if
it became necessary. Sixty-four boys
and 47 girls reported that they would
speak to a student who was caught
before reporting him.

Paris Prize Problems On Display in
Arch. Dept.

Th 1928 winners of the Paris Prize
contest are now on display in the
Architectural Department. These
plates are collected, judged, and put on
display throughout the country each
year by the Beaux Arts Magazine.
The winner is given a two years
scholarship in Paris to study architec-
ture, This year, four places were won
by Yale students. The theme for the
plates was “A Supreme Court Build-
ing for a Republic,” and many inter-
esting designs were turned in.

Earl Carroll Makes Call for Ex-Col-
lege Athletes

Fifty jobs at $50 a week are to be
thrown open for ex-college athletes by
Earl Carroll, producer of the Earl
Carroll Vanities, within the next few
weeks, applications now being accept-
ed by Mr, Carroll at his theater
through personal request or photo-
graphs. The men are desired for roles
in a big new musical offering which
goes into reheprsal about November
15th, and is scheduled to open about
January Ist.

With the new Vanities cracking all
previous records and fully set for a
season’s run, Mr. Carroll has turned
to the work of launching the most
pretentious book musical comedy ever
attempted in his career. The music is
by George L. Bagby and G. Romilli,
composers of the Vanities melodies,
and the story deals with a new phase
of athletic life. For that reason fifty
seasoned football, baseball and basket-
ball players, or athletes of any type
are wanted for the new production.

For applicants who are not within
the reach of the Earl Carroll Theatre,
photographs sent to the Carroll office,
755 Seventh Avenue, New York city,
will receive consideration. Upon the
backs of personal pictures the appli-
ecants should inscribe measurements
and coloring, as well as athletic rec-
ords. He will not undertake to return
pictures submitted unless return post-
age is enclosed, in the event of a
negative answer. All applications
must be made before November 15th,
as actual rehearsals will begin on that
date, or the following Monday at the
latest.

Agonistic Announces
Reportorial Contest

Paper to Appear in Future on
Tuesday.

The Agonistic announces a contest
for its reports which begins with the
next issue. It is the wish of the staff
to encourage the writing of accurate,
carefully written articles in the
journalistic languages, thereby keep-
ing from the college publication the
prep school tone which characterizes
many student newspapers and placing
the Agonistic in the recognized rank
of those undergraduate publications
which do really constructive work in
journalism.

To realize this ambition, the Agon-
istic offers a prize of three dollars, to
be awarded by a committee of judges
following the last issue before the
holidays, to that reporter whose article
or articles have seemed to follow most
successfully the journalistic ideal. The
contest is open only to reporters, not
to the regular contributors in charge
of the various departments.

Beginning with the next issue, the
Agonistic will come out on Tuesday,
whenever the college calendar of
events permits. Consequently, prompt-
ness in handing in assignments is
urged. Department notices will be sent
out on Monday and the departments
are expected to be in the Agonistic by
Wednesday night. News assignments
will be sent on Tuesday, and should be
in by Thursday night, whenever the
event to be covered comes before that
time. The last hour for handing in
articles comes on Sunday night, when
reporters may bring in assignments
covering the week-end.

It is hoped that this plan will make
for more efficient organization and a
better edition of the Agonistic. This
ean be made possible only by the co-
operation of all those on the repor-

torial and editorial staffs.

A Vision

By Elaine Exton

I see a placid, peaceful place,

A very scrumptious, sumptuous space,
Filled in with pompous buildings high
That scintillate against the sky.

And in between and round about,

And ever winding in and out,

I see some wondrous leafy trees;
Fair flower beds that seethe with bees.

I see a fountain’s sparkling spray

Dash in the air and melt away.

I see benches in beckoning arbors

That dates and squirrels chose for
harbors.

I see a wondrous chapel rise,

A keen delight to weary eyes.

I see its painted windows bright

That flood the place with holy light;

I see its walls serene and stately,

That make all wish to walk sedately.

And then I see on either hand

Other imposing buildings.

The curtains at the windows beckon

So they must be the doors, I reckon.

And further in the distance there

Are other buildings just as fair.

Potted plants grace every ledge,

Each gravel walk’s bound by a hedge

And here it is all love to work

And never any lessons shirk.

I walk about and soon I see

That where thirteen Main used to be

There’s now a sumptuous social hall,

A place to give a tea or ball.

Indeed, I am astonished quite

At this whole sumptuous, scrumptious
sight.

I heave a sigh, I softly say

“Alas ’twas different in my day.”

The Day Students held the first of a
series of pep meetings in the gym
Friday morning during chapel. The
meeting was opened by Mary Warren
who read the twenty-fourth Psalm and
offered a short prayer. Lois Smith
then discussed a few tentative plans,
most important of which was the rum-
mage sale to be held soon. Elizabeth

Miss Engle Conducts
Classes at Central
Presbyterian Church

Course to Continue for Six
Weeks.

Miss Engle, a newcomer to the Bible
department here, is conducting a
splendid class in leadership training at

Central Presbyterian. The class meets |

every Wednesday night at 6:15, with
a social half-hour for supper, served
by the ladies of the church, followed
by a study period. The course is to
last ten weeks, the first six lessons
being a rapid survey of the Old Testa-
ment and the last four being on Sun-
day school methods in general. The

class seems to be immensely popular |

because, according to Miss Engle, in|
the two weeks it has been going on,
there has been an enrollment of about
forty, varying in age from seventeen
to seventy and in teaching positions
from beginners to adults. And ac-
cording to the church bulletin “Miss
Engle certainly does know her work.”
We wish her much success in this and |
future attainments.

CLUB NEWS

On Wednesday night the voice pupils
and members of the Glee Club held an
interesting meeting in Mr. Johnson’s
studio. A short pupils’ recital was
given to the regular business meeting
of the club. After the program Mr.
Johnson explained, for the benefit of
the new students, correct stage eti-
quette for a singer. He stressed poise
on entering, in singing, and in re-
sponding to applause as necessary to
a successful program. Every member
was very much interested, since she
must appear on a program during this
semester.

After the business was discussed,
the Glee Club began its practice and
rehearsal. The group of songs which
is now being perfected contains ef-
fective negro spirituals. Much inter-
est and hard work was shown in com-
pleting this group. Mrs. Johnson an-
nounced that the next selection to be
studied is the beautiful “Humming
Chorus” from “Madame Butterfly.”
These songs and several other groups

| will be presented at the Glee Club’s

first public appearance this year.

Mr. Johnson announced that the re-
hearsals for Handel’s “Messiah” will
begin Tuesday, November 13, at 8:00
P. M. All Agnes Scott girls who are
interested in singing in this chorus are
invited to attend the first rehearsal.
This famous number will be presented
at the college before Christmas, and
there is a possibility of an appear-
ance in Atlanta under the auspices of
the Woman’s Club.

B. 0. Z. MEETING

B. O. Z. met with Miss Christie,
November 5. The president welcomed
the new members. Edith MeGranahan
read a story of a poor young girl’s
envy: of the rich, whose envy was
turned to disillusionment when one of
the richest men in the city was
brought his crutches to leave the ho-
tel. Helen Ridley read “Immortality,”
a story of a jealous father gaining im-

| mortality through a statue done by his

son.

There was a very interesting meet-
ing of K. U. B. on Wednésday, No-
vember 7, in the Y. W. cabinet room.
t was announced that a feature article
written by Helen Ridley had been ac-
cepted by The Journal and would ap-
pear in the magazine section of that
paper. Dr. McCain talked to the club
on how the college affects the public
and how the public affects the college.
He told what publicity means to a col-
lege and various ways of obtaining it
—and he spoke very interestingly of
K. U. B.’s work in the past. It is al-
ways a pleasure to have Dr. McCain
address the club and especially so this
time, so that the new members may
learn the work of the club.

FRESHMAN BIBLE CLASS

Dr. McCain’s Freshman Bible Class
elected officers at a recently meeting
with the following result: President,

B. O. Z. held a call meeting October
30 to judge tryouts. The tryouts were
discussed and the following girls elect-
ed to membership:

Ellene Winn, whose story, ‘Po’
White Trash,” was a civil war tale,
picturing the feelings of a non-slave
holder towards his neighbors, who
were big plantation owners.

Alice Jernigan, who retold the story
of Fra Lippo Lippi and his love for
the little nun under the title of “The
Joyous Friar.”

And Mary Trammell, whose story
of a modern college girl and how she
met “the boy friend” had the clever
title “Buttermilk and Tombstones.”

Folio Club met Friday afternoon in
the Tea House to judge the tryouts.
They decided not to take in any new
members at this time, as it seemed
that those trying out failed to realize
the seriousness and high standards of
the club. The next: tryouts will be
held in the Spring and Folio is very
anxious that a large number of the
Freshmen will write some good
original stories.

The present members of Folio, in-
clude, Ellene Winn, president; Laura
Brown, Helen Jackson, Carolyn Hey-
man and Miss Elizabeth Cheatham.

The artists of the campus have be-
gun this year very enthusiastically.
Tryouts for the Pen and Brush Club
were submitted on October 24. The
six new members who were accepted
were initiated at a social meeting last
Tuesday night. The “masterpieces”
were hung on the walls, and Miss
Lewis as a Louvre guide conducted an
inspection tour through the gallery,
giving very interesting talks about
each “picture” in the most approved
style of Baedeker. Alice Willets as a
landscape of Corot was characteristic
of the artist, interesting in technique
and composition. Mona Lisa, Helen
Hendricks, was “Mona eetself,” ac-
cording to the guide, and Eleanor Grey
Penrie, as the statue of Peter Pan in
Hyde Park, was eternal youth. Juanita
Patrick, the self-portrait of Albrecht
Durer needed no explanation. The
stringy curls, the artistic mustache,
and the csat were unmistakable.

Margaret McCoy gave a very strik-
ing representation of impressionistic
art—curves, colors, hidden meaning
and everything. She proved her
genius beyond a doubt in a sketch; of
course, if anyone didn’t get the point
it was through ignorance, not through
any fault in her impressionistic inter-
pretation. Franz Hal’s laughing
Cavalier, Helen Anderson herself, was
“ze man wis ze S. A.” It must have
a pull because she won the prize—a
Japanese print from Miss Lewis,
Everyone was disappointed that the
portrait of the Infanta Marguerite of
Spain by Velasquez, Mary Lilias Gar-
retson, was not present.

During a very short business meet-
ing Margaret McCoy, Martha North
Watson, and Hazel Brown were ap-
pointed on the programme committee.
No wonder a very interesting year is
anticipated!

Two 1-0 Victories
Scored Friday

Frosh and Seniors Win.

The ten-mile hike to Child’s was a
wonderful event and glowing tales
have reproduced it over and over for
those who could not go. Over sixty
people went on this hike, which was
to end at Child’s in Atlanta for sup-
per of hot cakes and syrup. The
afternoon was ideal for a long hike
and the route of the hike was well
selected.

Those who could not go on this hike
may console themselves with the an-
nouncement that there are to be many
other ten-mile hikes just as attractive
all during the year.

Two 1-0 victories were scored Fri-
day afternoon by the Freshmen and
the Seniors when they defeated the
Juniors and the Sophomores. The most
beautiful play of the afternoon was
the goal scored by LaMyra Kane for
the Freshmen. She received the ball
near the 50-yard line and swiftly drib-
bled down the wing to the goal where
she scored with a swift, sure shot. The
Senior goal was made during the first
few minutes of play and was the only
scoring of the game, though the Sen-
iors threatened many times. The line-
ups were as follows:

SWIMMING MEET IS SUCCESS

Freshmen Win First Place

The Beginners-Intermediate swim-
ming meet turned out to be the big
success that the swimming manager
had hoped for. Enthusiastic groups of
cheerers were backing each class
team and a great deal of interest was
shown in this meet. The Freshmen
team won first place in the meet with

Miss Davis, who is well known to
many of us as former head of the
sociology and economics departments
here at Agnes Scott, arrived Thurs-
day afternoon to attend an Economic
Conference held at the Henry Grady
Hotel in Atlanta Friday and Saturday.
She was the guest of Miss Catherine
Torrance and her sister, Miss Mary
Torrance. They gave a tea for Miss
Davis Saturday afternoon at their
home on Clairmont Avenue.

TENNIS CLUB HOLDS TRYOUTS

Eight New Members Elected

The Tennis Club tryouts are now
over and the club takes great pleas-
ure in announcing the following new
members: Elaine Jacobsen, Virginia
Grey, Letty Pope, Ada Knight, June
Maloney, Virginia Shaffner, Anna
Robbins, and Frances Welsh. A great
deal of interest was exhibited in these
tryouts and those who were admitted
are to be congratulated not only on
their offensive and defensive play but
especially on their form.

The Tennis Club has just been or-
ganized and the interest it is creating
was proven by the large number of
people who tried out for the member-
ships. Comparatively few people were
admitted this fall but the judges stated
that most all of those not admitted can
with only a litle practice on form in-
sure themselves of becoming members
in the spring when tryouts will be
held again.

HOCKEY GAME HELD FRIDAY

Freshmen and Juniors Win

. The Freshman-Sophomore hockey
game that was played Friday after-
noon was the best game played at
Agnes Scott in a long time. Speed was
the outstanding characteristic of the
game with plenty of fighting spirit
tempered by good playing on both
sides. The final score of the game
was Sophomores 2, Freshmen 3. The
swift advance down the field of the
Sprinkle twins sent ‘the spectators
wild with admiration. O’Bierne, Wil-
son and Bowman each scored a goal
for the Freshmen.

The Junior-Senior game was slower
but was characterized by the marked
determination of both sides to win. The
Juniors scored one goal in the second
half, this being the only goal of the

game.
The line-up was as follows:
SOPHOMORES FRESHMEN
Pringle Bowman
Morrow O’Bierne
Gray Wilson
M. Springle Peoples
M. Sprinkle Kane
Purdie Dyer
Hudson Hirsch

Views and Interviews

And beside pet economies, did you
know that many of these dignified
creatures who haunt the halls and
classrooms of this seat of learning
possessed suppressed desires? Things
which they want to do mpst badly,
but which seem to be too unmention-
ably unconventional to even be talked
of in the most confidential of gather-
ings?

Shall we speak of the Freshmen?
We shall. Enough has been said of
the upper-classmen and faculty. These
lowly worms seem to have desires
which are as strikingly peculiar as
they are suppressed. Why Rose Kahn-
weiler should have an insane inclina-
tion to walk on crutches and wear
glasses can be explained only when
we find out why Susie Leroy Carr
wants to laugh at weddings.

Perhaps there is something to this
thing of dreams being suppressed de-
sired. Anyway, on the very same
night, Clyde Lovejoy dreamed of play-
ing leapfrog in a bathing suit before
the astonished eyes of Miss Hopkins,
and Martha Logan dreamed of being
in charge of the fire bell in a dorm
composed entirely of Seniors. Betty
Bonham says she has always has diffi-
culty in suppressing a peculiar crav-
ing to clap her hands after a prayer
has been offered. As to whether she
has ever had any visions along this
line or not we can not say.

Neither can we say whether or not
any of these subdued cravings are ever
satisfied. Suffice it to say that
everyone has them, though some seem
exceedingly ill-suited to the individual.
“Tiss” Wilson walking across the roof
of the Colonnade, Diana Dyer standing
on her head, Sis Botts vigorously
massaging the dining table with a
knife—these would indeed be peculiar
sights!

Europe is concerned over new rep-
aration plans—what is envisaged (we
quote, that is not our word) is fixation
of the annual payments to be made
by Germany over a definite number of
years. Under the Dawes plan, you
probably will remember, no official
total was ever laid down as represent-
ing the German debt.
merely the annual payments by Ger-
many, but for an indefinite period of
years. America is not to be invited to
aid in the making of these plans. And
America seems to have the small boy
attitude of “shucks, I wouldn’t have
anything to do with it if you begged
me to!”

There is something about a naval
accord too—we couldn’t quite get it
straight. Someone please look it, and
then us up, and tell us about it. In
te New York Times, kind soul.

Incidentally, and altogether off the
track, do you read Time? You might
enjoy it, for amusement, if not edifica-
tion sake. “Topics in brief” in the
Literary Digest are sometimes inter-
esting—and we admit occasionally
glancing at “Americana” in the Amer-
ican Mercury.

Dr. MacDougall
Speaks at U. of Ala.

On Monday morning, November 6,
Miss MacDougall spoke at the Uni-
versity of Alabama. She addressed
the protozoology class and premedical
students with regard to her own re-
search in that field.

Miss MacDougall was accompanied
by Miss Lewis of the art department.
They were guests of Miss Lewis’ niece,
Mrs. Washington Moody, in her very
charming old colonial home in Tusca-
loosa.

Miss Harris, dean of women at the
University, entertained at luncheon
for Miss MacDougall and Miss Lewis
Monday. Professor Graham, head of
the biology department, honored them
at a delightful dinner. Miss Lewis
and Miss MacDougall report a most
enjoyable visit, socially and profes-
sionally.

THE AGONTSTIC

PD ize»

-— BDesvrnwre

Octavia Howard entertained Adele
Arbuckle, Jean Grey, and Laura Brown
at a buffet supper Sunday night.

Hooray for the campaign! We're
very much in favor of it, we know
greater Agnes will just be wonderful,
and we think the luncheon was a huge
success, Our only regret is that all
of us won’t be here to see and enjoy
the benefits of it—sad but true!—but,
of course, we who are going beyond
will return to view the mighty spec-
tacle as worthy dignified alumnae of
the lowly Agnes Scott College of 1929
and ’30—and may our enlarged, ren-
ovated, and enrichened Alma Mater be
as proud of us as we will be of her!
Whew! And how’s that for fine and
noble sentiments? At least—the
future’s stretching out before us and
all we’ve got to do is to wait and see
and in the meantime count the days til
Christmas—it happens to be thirty-
five right now!

And as for society—what ho!
your eyes downward and behold!

the custom in the past.

It was also announced that the date
for the first presentation of plays for
this year would be Saturday evening,

Facts on Colleges

Washington, D. C—A number of in-
teresting facts about American col-
leges and universities are revealed in
the 1927 edition of the Educational Di-
rectory of the United States Bureau
of Education. Here are some of them:

Columbia University, at New York,
is the largest university or college in
the country, with 35,000 students and
1,500 teachers.

Buena Vista college, at Storm Lake,
Iowa, is the smallest college in the
country, with 21 students and a fac-
ulty of 16 teachers.

Harvard is the oldest university,
having been established in 1636. Wil-
liam and Mary college and Yale uni-
versity come second and third, hay-
ing been established in 1698 and 1701,
respectively,

Harvard college boasts of a 32 mil-
lion dollar endowment, the larges in
the country, while Oberlin college, in
Ohio, has the largest endowment, $11,-
000,000, of any college of its nature.

In Canada the University of Mon-
treal, Toronto, and Laval are the three
largest educational institutions of the
collegiate nature, having between five
and six thousand students each.

The college enrollment nearly
doubled between 1922 and 1924, in-
creasing from 269,000 men and 168,000
women in 1922 to 419,000 men and
246,000 women in 1924,

During the football game between
William and Mary College and Wake
Forest last Saturday at Williamsburg,
robbers entered the various fraternity
houses and dormitories and stole many
caps, suits, overcoats, leather jackets,
shirts, and various sums of money.
The value of loot taken was estimated
to be over $1,000,

—Cadet.

, Barefoot Booter

Coryallis, Ore.—Oregon State Col-
lege will exhibit a football novelty this
season in the shape of a barefoot
kicker. Henry (Honolulu) Hughes,
who learned the game in Hawaii where
he became proficient as a punter, drop-
kicker and place kicker with his bare
feet, says he cannot get results while
wearing shoes, and so will be permit-
ted to boot with his bare feet.

Coach Paul J. Schissie: is searching
now for a pair of shoes which Hughes
can slip on and off in a moment, for
the Oregon State mentor does not
want to risk Hughes’ unshod feet in
a scrimmage, and he will wear the
shoes when he is not kicking.

Chinese Students Have “Spirit of
Modern Youth”

Peking, Oct. 20.—Chinese young-
sters have caught the “spirit of mod-
ern youth,” and recently have gone
their American cousins one better in
the way of dictating to their elders.

Pupils of the Peking Middle schools,
boys and girls from 12 to 16 years of
age even less advanced than pupils of
that age in the United States, have
become so thoroughly imbued with the
‘new idea” that they have organized
a union and have issued a mandate to
the educational authorities setting
forth exactly what sort of men must
be appointed as principals of the mid-
dle schools here.

The requirements are unique, and,
with the exception of the second ar-
ticle, rather vague. They require:

1. Middle school principals must
have a clear understanding of the
Three People’s Principles of the late
Dr. Sun Yat-sen.

2. They must have been engaged in
local educational work for at least
three years, and must be well known
among local educators.

8. They must all be recognized as
men of character.

If these requirements of the pupil’s
union are not met, the youngsters
threaten, they will refuse to attend
school.

RECENT DRIVE RECALLS
CAMPAIGN OF 1921
(Continued from Page One)

Scott. Heretofore it has helped to
initiate our campaigns by making the
first offer and Agnes Scott has gone
to her friends to match it. When ap-
proached this time they gave the fol-
lowing reply: “We have practically
withdrawn from the field of helping
colleges, but we are willing to consider
your case. We have been taking the
first step and showing our interest to
stimulate others. Our board is just as
human as your other friends. Let the
alumnae and trustees and others who
believe in you take the initiative this
time and make a conditional pledge
for us to meet. We will not promise
to do it but we will be impressed if
you make a good showing.”

We must confess that they have
given us a fair challenge and now it is
up to us to meet it and thereby in-
dicate our belief in Agnes Scott, and
acknowledge her superiority among
the rank of women’s colleges and the
belief that she supplies a need which
cannot be filled by co-educational in-
stitutions. This last fact is especially
true in the South because state uni-
versities have only recently accepted
girls and their position is almost
negligible as yet. The girls have small
opportunity for leadership because the
boys take it all away from them.
Moreover the little that they do have
is confined to their sororities and clubs
and these are only of minor impor-
tance in comparison with those of the
boys as is everything else of theirs.
Their facilities are poor, especially as
regards athletic equipment because the
boys always come first.

Therefore, our work in the forth-
coming campaign will be a tribute to
our Alma Mater and the place she
holds.

GREAT FIELD IS OCCUPIED
(Continued from Page One)

Gaines arose and spontaneously an-
nounced a holiday. The enthusiasm of
the girls then burst into unconquer-
able excitement and they rushed out
of the chapel, formed in line and went
singing all through Decatur, stopping
street cars and everything else, very
much as Tech Freshmen do when Tech
beats Georgia in football.

To raise the money the girls tried to
do it as much as possible themselves,
giving up their Saturday afternoons in
town, chocolates, opening beauty par-
lors, giving manicures and shoeshines,
coaching lessons, taking care of chil-
dren in the evening and selling stock-
ings and stationery. The classes and
organizations also gave entertain-
ments and gave the proceeds, while
many of the parents gave generous
gifts to the classes in which their
daughters were.

Hence the success of the campaign
of 1921. May this be even greater!

THE AGONISTIC

Alumnae News

Now that Investiture is over and
another class has been made into “sure
enough Seniors—and since we have
seen so many of the girls “returned
home”—maybe I can give you all the
more information on “who’s where’—
and “who’s what.”

Elizabeth Lily, ’27, has a position
this year—a regular professorship at
Salem College, Winston-Salem, N. C.
I know we would all like to sit in on
one of “Lib’s” English classes—for
she always knew so much on the sub-
ject.

Elsa Jacobsen is still in Indianapo-
lis, Ind., doing Y. W. C. A. work.
She was home for awhile this summer
visiting her mother.

One of recent alumnae weddings
was that of Rosalie Wooten, ’26, to
Mr. L. L. Dick. Her husand is in-
structor at Oglethorpe University.

The Agonistic this week carries an
announcement of the engagement of
Reba Bayliss, ’27.

Mary Mackey Hough, ’28, and Louise
Sherfesee, ’28, certainly have their
hands full if all reports be true. They
are teaching at Lancaster, S. C., and
have the dumbest class of the factory
school. Our best wishes are with them.

The two Ramage twins are fortun-
ate in being in New York this winter
—imagine having the opportunity of
seeing all the sights of a metropolis
for a whole year.

Mary Riviere, ’28, is also in New
York—pursuing her music career. And
what could be more like Mary than
living in a French convent.

Francis Hargis, ’28, is writing the
most attractive ads for Rich’s Depart-
ment store. I went up to see her the
other day—she and Carolyn Essig
have a tiny office all their very own.
By the way Carolyn wrote the Rich’s
ad that appeared in the Agonistic last
week,

When we’re around the other fel-
low’s girl we’re like the man who
crawled into a barber chair and the
following dialogue took place, between
him and the swarthy Latin type bar-
ber:

Barber: “What do you think of this
Nicaraguan question?”

Man: “Just the same as you do.”

Barber: “Why, you don’t even know
how I feel about it.”

Man: “No, but you have the razor.”

(Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, 1919) as

captain. Two other alumnae are on
the committee—Miss Lucille Alexander
and Margaret Bland. The student com-
mittee is composed of the class presi-
dents and the presidents of the organi-
zations. heir names will be found
elsewhere in the paper. For several
weeks now these two committees have
been meeting and formulating plans
for the campus campaign.

After much deliberation the quota
for the students was placed at $30,000
or approximately $75 per individual
and given in three-year payments. It
is hoped that the faculty will con-
tribute $20,000, to be paid over a
period of five years. The plans for
the campus campaign will be present-
ed to the college community at a
luncheon in the gym, Tuesday, Novem-
ber 13, at 12:30. At this luncheon
Miss Wilburn will preside as toast-
mistress, and Mr. Orr, Dr. McCain,
Mr. Norton, Polly Stone, and Peggy
Lou Armstrong will speak in the order
mentioned.

In the meantime the classes also
have been organized, because the cam-
paign work is to be carried on through
them, in competition against each
other. For cach class there is a chair-
man who has under her and responsi-
ble to her pilots, each of whom is re-
sponsible for eight girls.

Immediately after the luncheon
there will be meetings of the classes
at which the class chairmen will pre-
side and urge their respective classes
to write home to their parents dis-
cussing the matter of the campaign
with them and asking for their co-
operation. The committee will also
write to the parents, asking them, if
possible, to make contributions to the
classes in which their daughters are,
since many such contributions were
made in the previous campaign.

On the following Monday, November
19, the taking of subscriptions will be-
gin. This will last through Wednes-
day and the results for which all this
is taking place will be announced on
Thursday in Chapel.

During the progress of the cam-
paign the poster committee under Eliz-
abeth Flynn will be very active. There
will be a clay model of the new cam-
pus and buildings in Main to enable us
to visualize the thing for which we are
working. Also there will be charcoal
sketches of the new buildings at the
places where they are to be and arrows
leading: to “them. Jn) addition: thet. ae
will also be various other posters in
all the halls of all the buildings and
four little paper aeroplanes, one for
each class will be strung up in Main to
indicate the progress of the classes.
Points will be given for four things:
(1) The best attendance at the lunch-
eons, (2) number of subscriptions
from each class, (3) total amount of
subscriptions, and (4) most outside
subscriptions. May we all help to
realize the ideal of Agnes Scott.

Giddy, Dear:

You probably won’t even read my
letter this week, what with all this
literature on the campaign develop-
ment, or whatever the name of it is.
But I assure you, Giddy, I’m in favor
of a greater Agnes Scott, and while I
really think the best and quickest way
of getting it, is extra grits, I feryent-
ly pray they do not use such rash
means. Further, I realize this is no
matter to be flippant about, so, quite
seriously, I tell you, I shall stay out
here on Saturday afternoons and stop
getting Mr. Starnes’ chicken sand-
wiches and give my savings to the
fund. You most have to get enthusias-
tic about it when you see the gorgeous
pictures of how we will look ten years
from now, if everybody does her part.
You'll have such a good time very
nonchalantly telling your grandchil-
dren that you went to school in those
marble halls—just as good as an an-
cestral home in old Virginia. Then
there are other benefits, my dear. Such
as that grand luncheon we had Tues-
day, and think of more rooms to have
dates in!

I know Bibb wishes they would
hurry those rooms. Hatch is coming,
and she’s getting a finger wave—can
you imagine it! If she has a square
inch of hair, I’ve got as much as
Rapunzel—wasn’t that her name?

But you know, Giddy, an appro-
priate setting makes a lot of differ-
ence. Baby Sara’s just been wishing
for one. She’s got a date tomorrow
night with her first love—and she
hasn’t seen him since they were in the
seventh grade. Just like Enoch Arden,
isn’t it—so sweet—and she’s excited to
death.

I suggested the tea room parlor.
Miss Florine says it’s awfully nice.
Have you noticed, Giddy, how Miss
Florine keeps her hair curled all the
time lately? Lots of people have men-
tioned it to me, and some of her more
intimate friends say she always has
Moore candv

Dorothy Smith most gor a tot of
candy too. She and Belle Ward had
up this big bet and the stakes were
five pounds of their father’s produce.
Dot lost, so she wrote her dad to send
Mr. Stowe five pounds of phosphate of
lime (not a drink, see Dot for further
information). Mr. Smith wrote back
he just couldn’t, Mr. Stowe would
think he was crazy, since the ba sl

grade phosphate lime was three cents
a pound. And Dorothy would have
gotten Nunnally’s! But it would
probably have made her sick, says
little Pollyanna. And everybody has
too much work to think of the infirm-
ary now. Oh, did you hear about Mary
Elizabeth Waren? She had to go to
the infirmary the other day, and asked
her roommate to register her out there.
Like the local flora class that has
to register out for lab.

Oh that reminds me, I told Martha
Tower I'd register her out for a date.
I better go do it, fore I forget it (have
you seen her new fraternity pin?)
And don’t forget to save your money
for the B. B. F.

Yours for more bathtubs and hard-
wood floors,

Aggie.

Luncheon Launches |Columbus Alumnae | Mrs. Karle Wilson

Million Dollar Drive

Occasion Marked By Num:
ber of Splendid Addresses.

To the college community it is
needless to state that the Campaign
Luneheon at which Dr. McCain, Miss
Hopkins, and Miss Wilburn enter-
tained last Tuesday in the Gym was
by far the biggest and most enjoyable
event at Agnes Scott in its history.
But for those who did not attend, it
might be repeated that this Campaign
Luncheon was a unique affair which
went over in a big way. Its purpose
was the announcement of the Million
Dollar Endowment Campaign plans.

Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, chairman
of the Endowment Committee and
toastmistress of the occasion, gave the
welcome address:

“This is indeed a happy occasion for
it is the first time in the history of
Agnes Scott that the entire college
community has been gathered together
in such a way. And as it is the big-
gest gathering of its kind we hope it
will inaugurate what is to be the big-
gest undertaking in the history of the
college. We who are here today are
privileged to be able to take part in
such a venture. If we are to reach our
goal it will mean loyalty, co-operation
and sacrifice on the part of every one
of us, As we listen to the plans of
the campaign which are to be present-
ed during the luncheon, let us try to
visualize Agnes Scott of the future
and plan to enter into the campaign
with a spirit of jeyousness and a de-
termination to win.”

Mr. Orr, chairman of the Board of
Trustees, next gave a very delight-
ful talk on the Trustees and the Cam-
In_ his talk. Mr._Orr said that
he had in his possession a very valua-
ble piece of paper, dated 1890, an orig-
inal letter from Col. Scott to his
grandfather, in which he gaye a senti-
ment we cherish. He said that Col.
Scott, when asked why he was going
so far to provide for Agnes Scott said:
“The Lord has abundantly blessed me.
I do not want to harden my heart.”
“Tf he did nothing more, he has made
a contribution that would place him
among the immortals. I do not know
another sentence in the English lan-
guage that says as much. I hoped to
live long enough to see a marble bust
of Col. Scott with the words of that
sentence beneath it. But he, Col. Scott
would much prefer having beautiful
buildings, and grounds at Agnes
Scott.”

Mr. Orr then sketched previous cam-
paigns at Agnes Scott and told of the
first University movement in Atlanta.
He explained that it was the first
movement for education near Atlanta,
and it was the first drive that had the
purpose of giving something to others
that expected nothing in return.

In closing, Mr. Orr said that he had
an added responsibility in the 49ers
because he was voting his little grand-

daughter, Miss Caroline Orr, to be a

student at Agnes Scott.

Dr. McGain spoke on “The Future
of Agnes Scott.”

“When we come to think of Agnes
Scott of the future we must think of
Agnes Scott as it now is. We are the
youngest of the great colleges. We are

Blackfriars’ New
Members Announced

Initiation and Welcome Held
Friday Afternoon.

On Friday evening, November 9,
Blackfriars held try-outs. Seven new
members were taken into the club.
They are: Dorothy Keithley, Julia
Thompson, Dit Quarles, Annie Z. Wat-
son, Elizabeth Simpson, Dittie Winter
and Mildred McCalip.

At their regular semi-monthly meet-
ing last Thursday at 5 o’clock Black-
friars welcomed these new members
into the club.

Club Is Organized

Plans Are Being Made to
Help Campaign.

The Alumnae of Agnes Scott resid-
ing in Columbus, Ga., have banded
themselves together as the Agnes
Scott Alumnae Club of Columbus. At
their first meeting the following of-
ficers were elected: Mrs. F. H. Turner,
nee Hallie Alexander, 18, president;
Clarkie Davis, ’26, vice-president; Mrs.
R. R. Tatum, nee Ruth Drane, ’25,
secretary and treasurer.

At the second meeting of the club,
Thursday, November 15, Polly Stone
was present and talked to the mem-
bers. They were very interested in
the plans for greater Agnes Scott and
were shown the pamphlets illustrating
the changes to be made.

The present membership of the club
is twelve. There are other alumnae in
| Columbus who have noc been reached
yet. The membership ranges from the
class of *28 to alumnae of the Insti-
tute. They plan to help the campaign
and to interest the high school girls
of Columbus in Agnes Scott.

forty years old and only 22 as a col-
lege. Over half of our B. A. graduates
are of the last 6 years. At the pres-
ent time we have just made a begin-
ning. When we think of Agnes Scott
of 50 years from now we have a prob-
lem to work out that is worthwhile.

“We must think of our location, and

those of our sister institutions. Agnes
Seott has a great location. There are
only nine institutions in the United
States that have chapters of Phi Beta
Kappa. When we think of Agnes
Seott 50 years from neve what will he
our position? Then, will we think of
! Agnes Scott as the best known insti-
tution? Other colleges got their start
years ago. Ten years ago we would
‘have had to write $150,000. Now we
can write one million. We have made
more progress than others. We’re
double in physical development. But
we are behind in some of our systems.
Yet we needn’t get discouraged for
we are making progress. We have a
tremendous field in which to develop
and grow.

“Agnes Scott ranks as high as any
other college educationally. But as to
our equipment we do need to make
reservations. In this matter other
colleges have far surpassed us. We
must equip ourselves for growth. We
need attractive buildings. We must
build beautifully, substantially, ade-
quately. The things that must be at-
tended to right away in order of their
importance are:

1. Steam plant and laundry.

2. A recitation and administration

building.

Day student quarters.

An adequate chapel.

A dormitory and dining room.
Fine Arts Building.

7. Additional lands.

“These things are necessary in the
making of a great institution. Mr.
Lupton of Chattanooga has offered to
give us $50,000 if we have $500,000 by
January 1st. We lack $80,000. With
hearts of thanksgiving, and joy it is
that we see all working for this cam-
paign.”

Mr. J. C. Norton, who is the repre-
sentative of the campaign, spoke
next on “The Organization of the
Campaign.”

“Last Spring the Alumnae Associa-
tion voted a campaign of $125,000 for
a chapel to be a memorial to Dr.
Gaines. Soon the Board of Trustees
voted a campaign of $1,000,000. We
are starting this campaign on the
campus. Further than that no plans
have been made. When we have done
that we can ask men not directly con-
nected with the college for aid.

“T was talking to a man, a friend
who has traveled rather widely and
who has a worldwide viewpoint, the

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNEDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1928

Junior Burlesque
A Great Suecess

Ass’n Speaker Gives Talk on Work of Camp | Funds Contributed to Cam-

Poet Extensively Entertain-
ed During Visit.

Poetry lovers at Agnes Scott ex-
perienced a rare pleasure on Monday
night, November 12, when Mrs. Karle
Wilson Baker spoke in the chapel.

In acknowledging her introduction,
Mrs. Baker spoke of Agnes Scott as
“a corner in the South where poetry
is welcomed and cherished,” and said
that she regarded her visit here as
the beginning of a new, and the culmi-
nation of an old friendship.

The lecture of the evening fell into
two divisions, the first dealing with
William Vaughn Moody, under whom
Mrs. Baker studied at the University
of Chicago, and the second being a
reading of her own poems.

Mrs. Baker came to Agnes Scott di-
rectly from the home of Mr. Moody’s
sister, where it was her privilege to
see the many treasures which a life-
time of devotion has preserved to the
memory of Mr. Moody. Among these
souvenirs was the daguerrotype which
was the inspiration for the well-known
poem bearing the same name.

William Vaughn Moody’s work, ac-
cording to Mrs. Baker, bears a dis-
tinct relation to the new poetry, which
had its birth in 1912, shortly before

his death. Though for a long time.

comparatively unknown except to
poetry scholars, the time for his recog-
nition is close at hand.

This new poetry, though it offers
stout resistance to the classifying in-
stinet falls into the following principal
points of discussion—diction, subject,
traditional elements of form, and the
sorts of people about whom it is writ-
ten.

Mrs. Baker applied each of these
points to the work of Mr. Moody. As
an example of his modern diction, she
read his “Faded Pictures.”

Regarding the point of subject mat-
ter, she stated that he chose tradi-
tional subjects for his long poems, and
thus, as she beautifully expressed it,
provided rare old bottles for new wine.
However, “Menagerie” and “The
Brute,” are poems distinctly modern in
theme.

“T Am the Woman” illustrates
splendidly Moody’s work as a pioneer
in the field of form, as does “The Song
of the Angel of the Pale Horse.”

The people about whom modern
poetry is created Mrs. Baker regards
as the question of primary importance.
William Vaughn Moody had a sharp
realization of the vastness of man’s
dilemma. In the main stream with the
preoccupation of man, so piteously
contrived for pain, Moody was at his
occupation of man, so piteously con-
tinued for pain, Moody was at his
greatest in his passion for humanity.

Passing then to her own work, Mrs.
Baker read a number of poems which
have long been favorites. First was
a group of nature poems, in which
trees were the central figures—among
them “Good Company,” and “Trees.”

The next group dealt with domes-
tie subjects and struck a responsive
note in the hearts of her audience.
Perhaps the best remembered is “Re-
prieve.”

Among the others read by Mrs.
Baker which were most familiar are
“Growing Old,” “The Pilgrim’s Song,”
and “I Shall Be Loved as Quiet
Things.”

The poet was extensively enter-
tained during her stay. Misses Polly
Stone, Elizabeth Cheatham, and Dick
Scandrett entertained her at breakfast,
and she was one of the honor guests
at the campaign luncheon, A de-
lightful dinner was given Tuesday
evening in the Alumnae House by Miss
Laney and Miss McKinney. Those
present were: Mrs. Baker, Miss Pres-
ton, Miss Cheatham, Miss Torrance,
Miss Christie, Miss Laney, Miss Mc-
Kinney and Dr. Hayes.

Fire Girls.

Miss Edith Kempthorne, field sec-
retary of the National Camp Fire or-
ganization, gave an interesting talk
on the work of this group, and the
part we, as college girls, have in it.
Mrs. Dexter, the head of the Atlanta
Camp Fire Girls, in introducing Miss
Kempthorne invited all those who were
interested to attend a week-end train-
ing course in Camp Fire leadership,
which is to be closed by a big council-
fire Saturday night at the Cecil Hotel.

“The Camp Fire organization,” said
Miss Kempthorne, “is based on seven
points, seek beauty, give service, pur-
sue knowledge, be trustworthy, hold
on to health, glorify work.

“The motto, ‘Wohelo,’ includes work,
the desire for happiness; health, the
middle name of Camp Fires; and
love, the joy of service. The gown of
a Camp Fire girl—each girl makes her
own—expresses her activity.”

In closing Miss Kempthorne ex-
plained that our place in this group
is one of leadership. We are especial-
ly fitted to be leaders because of our
experiences and knowledge received in
college. She added that this is a big
and new field for college graduates to
enter.

Alumnae Hold
Vespers Sunday

Miss Cheatham Gives Inter-
esting Talk.

The Y. W. C. A. Vespers Sunday
night were devoted to members of the
alumnae, who put on a very interest-
ing program. We are always glad of
an opportunity to strengthen that bond
of sympathy between alumnae and
students, and we particularly enjoyed
this program.

After a brief review of the history
of the Agnes Seott Y. W. by Augusta
Roberts, Mrs. Flinn led in prayer. Miss
Cheatham then spoke from the view-
point of alumna and student and
brought out the idea that the present
always owes the past and pays the
future and that we should therefore
pay our debt to those who have gone
before us by developing the college for
those who are to follow us. Next Mrs.
Stocton Hulme, who is connected with
the welfare department in Atlanta,
told what Agnes Scott has meant to
her in a practical way. Then Miss
Askew, of North Avenue School, en-
lightened us in a very interesting
manner as to what is expected of us as
daughters of Agnes Scott. Her mem-
ories of the Institute days and the de-
velopment of the college led us to hope
that we can help bring about further
development.

The music as well as the program
was very enjoyable. We welcomed
back Sarah Smith, '25, and enjoyed her
presence as much as her music. The
choir was also made up of members of
the alumnae. Mrs. Tally, of Decatur,
rendered a lovely solo.

The usual Y. W. benediction closed
this altogether interesting and edu-
cational vesper service.

Prize Offered
By Mr. Tart

Mr. Tart has offered $25 in prizes
to the two classes making the highest
percentage in the airplane race which
is an interesting feature of the cam-
paign work here on the campus. Twen-
ty dollars goes to the class making the
highest percentage and $5 to the one
making the next highest. The speed
of the airplanes of each class depends
upon percentage attendance at the
campaign luncheon, the amount given,
and the percentage of each class giv-
ing.

paign By Juniors.

The “Big Liars” of Agnes Scott—
alias the Juniors—presented last Sat-
urday night an amusing burlesque of
last years Blackfriar productions. The
three one-act plays were guaranteed
to be classical, interesting and abso-
lutely original. The proceeds will be
donated to the campaign fund as a
contribution of the Junior class.

“The Doubtful D” was a parody on
“Pink and Patches,” presented by the
Blackfriars last year. The authors re-
mained incognito, though such an ex-
treme measure seems to be unneces-
sary. The skit detailed the pathetic
story of Totsie, or Mary Louise
Thames, and her attempt at escape
from the “Doubtful D,” aided by Hot-
sie and Ma Scott, impersonated by Jo
Smith and Belle Ward Stowe. Poor
Totsie did not possess an “A or B+
mind,” and in her ardent longings to
make an “A” she offered Miss Agnes,
typified by Zou Woolford, everything
from bunches of daisies to a pitcher of
molasses, Miss Agnes sweetly thanked
Hotsie for her gifts, and offered in re-
turn the “Doubtful D.”

“Versa-Vice,” written by Margaret
Ogden, Helen Hendricks and Harriet
Williams, shows a deep and _ philos-
ophical insight into human nature,
football, and campus life in the days
“When You and I Were Young, Mag-
gie.” Raemond Wilson, versa Lucille
Alexander in white shirtwaist and
skirt, and Margaret Ogden, vice Miss
Hopkins, in the “gay nineties,” agree
to change identities, and demoralize
young Monsieur Le Maitre. It seems
that this young professor at Agnes
Scott is unmarried, and Miss Hopkins
wishes to find out just what kind of a
professor he professes to be. So she
goes to the football game with him as
a young and frivolous damsel, while
Mr, Orr, a gay young blade, portrayed
by Sarah Townsend, takes Miss Alex-
ander. It all comes to a happy end-
ing.

Margaret Louise Armstrong, under
the nom-de-plume of “Peggy Lou,” is
the proud author of the burlesque of
“Hero Worship,” which she calls
“Hero-ine Worship,” just to be differ-
ent. Shakespeare never repeats, but
Peggy Lou goes him one better, and
repeats many times. However, this is
her very first play, it is rich in dra-
matic emotion and exceedingly poig-
nant. Sentie Ment, who is in private
life is Polly Vaughan, is the victim of
a virulent form of heroine worship,
and resists all the a tempts of Rebecca
Scott, Jennie Inman, Gym Nasium,
Miss Hopkins and Ella (respectively
portrayed by Virge Shaffner, Pauline
Willoughby, Caroline Nash, Mary
Cope and June Maloney) to get her to
contribute to the campaign fund. How-
ever, in the end, her heroine disil-
lusions her, she returns to normal and
agrees to contribute to the fund, For
not to contribute would be “desecra-
tion—utter desecration!”

The plays were well attended. Candy
and peanuts were sold, and between
the plays everyone danced.

Team to Debate
Vassar Announced

Nisbet and Norris to Uphold
Agnes Scott

Much interest centers around the
announcement of the team that will
debate Vassar in Poughkeepsie, New
York, on December 15. The team, as
announced in chapel last Friday morn-
ing, will be Esther Nisbet and Eleanor
Lee Norris, with Martha Stackhouse
as alternate. The girls are planning
to spend the day and night before the
debate with Agnes Scott Alumnae in
New York City. They are also plan-
ning to remain at Vassar over Sunday
for the Christmas music.

EDITORIAL

Thursday marks the close of the Endowment Campaign on
the campus. It marks, too, the beginning of Agnes Scott’s future
as a world-recognized educational institution. In the past Agnes
Scott has proved her ability to fill a large field and at the present
time an opportunity is being offered her to move on toward a more
distant goal and a higher standard of service. The extent to
which this opportunity is realized rests, as always, with the in-
dividual members of Agnes Scott’s organization. Surely this truth
has been reiterated sufficiently in the past week to need no further
discussion.

The great need at the present is emphasis on 100% giving.
One could mention numberless platitudes concerned with that
eternal truth that a chain is as strong as its weakest link. Never,
perhaps, has this been so true as in this present campaign. When
one turns from the ever-recurrent thought of dollars and cents to
a consideration of the moral stamina and strength which a 100%
response to the endowment drive will indicate, the greatness of
this movement is evident. We are dealing now, not with the pres-
ent, but with the tremendous future; not with human effort, but
with divine purpose.

It is an extremely difficult task to enumerate the reasons
which call the students of the present Agnes Scott to contribute
toward the Agnes Scott of the future. The range of emotions a
girl may feel for her college is wide, and varies with the individual,

If there is such a thing in life as moral responsibility, we stu-
dents of Agnes Scott are confronted by it. The order which char-
acterizes the universe is based on a purpose. Since the dim be-
ginning of time men have been blindly groping upward and out-
ward toward the something more which leaves man’s heart and
mind unsatisfied. “Plus ultra” in this twentieth century is a no less
meaningful expression than it was in the time of the Renaissance.
Progress is as elemental as the rain or the sunshine. But consider
for a moment the course of this onward movement. In few instan-
ces have its leaders lived to see the fruits of their labors. Christ,
Aristotle, Bacon, Wilson—those apostles of the future lived by
faith and for their sense of responsibility in the growth and
progress of mankind. Leadership is still made up of faith and a
sense of the world’s need for progress, and it is these qualities of
those who rise above the ranks which will create the Agnes Scott
of the future

Economically, much could be said, if space permitted, of the
effect of Agnes Scott’s growth upon the future of her daughters.
The reputation of the college which stands behind a woman is per-
haps the greatest criterion in the evaluation of her work.

No less important, though less often realized, is the value of
one’s Alma Mater in a social way. Agnes Scott takes the best,
and she gives the best. The new Agnes Scott will set her stand-
ards higher, and being an Agnes Scott graduate will place a woman
even more unquestionably in the category of those who know and
honor the best.

But the vast majority will give out of their love for Agnes
Scott. They will give not feeling that they are repaying a debt.
Those who love this college know that her own gift is too vast
and to eternal to merit a return in dollars. Instead, they
give a gift as to a dear friend in an hour of need. One does not
spend four years at Agnes Scott without gaining some of the
strength which Main Tower symbolizes. One does not feel the
friendships of lives that move together closely without an awed
sense of the greatness of human relationships. Among the great-
est of these comes a love for one’s Alma Mater. To those who
truly love Agnes Scott, and whose faith in her is fine and keen
enough to see beyond the dim shadows of the future, this present
campaign presents itself as the greatest, most forward-looking
movement with which it has been their privilege to be associated.
Upon these true daughters of a worthy Alma Mater devolves the
responsibility of the future Agnes Scott.

Shall we say, then, that Thursday marks the birthday of a
finer Agnes Scott—a. realization of the dreams of leaders who haye
brought it thus far along its way of progress? Or shall we say
that Thursday marks the failure of an effort whose very greatness
and vision were too broad for a group who could not see beyond
the present? Agnes Scott has not yet failed; surely this time the
response to her appeal will be whole-hearted and unanimous.

We Think

The Agonistic does not feel that this
column calls for the publication of
anonymous contributions which single

out one person and launch into a dev-
astating criticism of that person’s con-
duct. Criticize attitudes; not one per-
son’s attitude. Avoid tearing down;
enough of that goes on in a verbal
manner; build up. Only in this way
can this column succeed in its purpose.

Is there anyone who will agree with
the writer that the agitation for more
social life is entirely uncalled for?
For two years this column has been
filled. with laments concerning the
dearth of so-called social life on
the campus, and we are inclined to feel
that the space could be used to greater
advantage.

The first step in a debate is a def-
inition of terms. Herewith we define
society on the authority of Mr. Web-
ster: fellowship; companionship. Using
this as a basis, let us consider briefly
the aspect of the social situation at
Agnes Scott—on the campus and off.

Beginning last Monday, the campus
calendar included a formal] reception,
a tea, Cotillion coffee, a dance in the
gym, a luncheon, a tea-dance, and
Senior coffee. We have not included
dates or parties in the tea house. The
above functions were given for the
entire student body and were generally
attended. The person who desires more
social life than this has a strong con-
stitution.

But if she must seek entertainment
elsewhere, she has the broad field of
Atlanta to choose from. There were
several dances last week—there always
are—if the young social aspirant was
so fortunate as to rate them. If she was
not so blessed, the blame can hardly
be laid at the door of the school, May
we venture to express our surprise at
the length of the social column in the
Agonistic, if Agnes Scott lacks social
life so utterly?

Furthermore, how much time does
this young butterfly find her days to
contain? Does time drag when she
must attend two or more classes, spend
four hours or more studying, perhaps
one in gym, and two at meals?

Just what is our worthy opponent’s
idea of social life anyway ?—and when
does she expect to get any work done?

30.

The topics of conversation at Agnes
Scott are exactly two: food and work.
Luckily, the subject of food is usual-
ly confined to discussion at mealtimes,
but try to escape from work anywhere
on the campus. There is no rest for
Hottentots. Even the roommate greets
you with, “Oh, I’m simply whipped
down—l’ve been taking notes all night,
and tomorrow I’ve got to .. .,” and so,
far, far into the night.

Of the last ten people you talked
with, how many ennumerated the term
papers due before Christmas? And
in every case, didn’t you immediately
drown out these puny attempts with
your own masterly tale of woe?

We have a mighty nice Freshman
class this year. We'll all admit that,
and also that they have been quick, for
the most part, to catch the Agnes
Scott. spirit. This, we fondly hope,
has been due to the combined excel-
lent example of Sophomores, Juniors,
and Seniors. But who is going to take
the blame for the Freshmen habit of
arising at 5:30 to study, of cutting
meals to study, and of writing home
to mother about this terrible life?

The Freshmen didn’t get this at-
titude from thin air. Neither do At-
lanta people manufacture the stories
of drudgery which seem to have be-
come synonymous with the name of
Agnes Scott. One of two things is
responsible for this state of affairs.
Hither our general level of intelli-
gence is falling lower, so that we can-
not keep up to the standards set for
us, or we have fallen into the habit
of griping—an unlovely word, but very
deseriptive—and completely deceived
others, even if not ourselves,

None of us would consider the first
alternative. Then let’s get together
and destroy the Agnes Scott myth
once and for all—let’s have no more
griping.

_ Non-Collegiate Harvard

Harvard is not collegiate, according
to John Maud, Davidson scholar from
Oxford, a student at the university
this year.

“Oxford is tremendously amused at
the so-called American college spirit.
I had come over here expecting to find
Harvard a hot-bed of collegiatism. My
disillusionment was most welcome,”
he said.

Mr. Maud feels that the Harvard
students are much busier than those
at Oxford. He explains that in Eng-
lish colleges meals are social events,
while here they appear to be mere
interruptions in the day’s work. Eng-
lish college men saunter to classes,
Harvard men rush to them at the last
minute.

“They dress much differently here
than we do. Everyone at Oxford
wears a well-cut coat and flannel
trousers; here most men make no ef-
fort to present a smart appearance.”

“In England, outside activities are
necessary to some extent, but they do
not encroach upon the primary motive
of our college life, studies.”—The
Tech.

Freshmen Must Sing

Princeton, N. J.—In compliance with
the suggestion of Ralph Downes,
Princeton university organist and
choirmaster, and approved by Presi-
dent. Hibben, freshmen will be requir-
ed to submit to voice trials in antici-
pation of the organization of class
choirs for the support of congrega-
tional singing in the chapel services.

The Sophomore class entertained
the Seniors at a tea in the Tea Room
last Thursday night. Most of the
members of the two classes were pres-
ent. The whole room was lit by
candle-light alone, and was decorated
with orange candles tied with black
ribbon, class colors, and orange flow-
ers.

The Sophomore faculty, Miss Bland
and Miss Christie, served the tea, and
hostesses passed the nuts and small
cakes. Adele Arbuckle, chairman of
the tea committee; Martha Tower and
Betty Knox, members; Gertrude Wil-
loughby, refreshment committee; Oc-
tavia Howard and Betty Thompson,
decoration, and Elaine Exton, Shirley
McPhaul and Jean Grey represented
the Sophomore class as hostesses.

Miss Wilburn and Miss Hale, Senior
faculty, and many of the Senior class
were guests.

In nibbling, sipping, chatting and
“bulling” the hour passed quickly and
pleasantly for all who were present.

Five Years
A novel five-year plan will be in-
augurated next fall at Northeastern
College, when the college student body
will be divided into five classes:
Freshman, Sophomore, Middlers, Jun-
ior and Senior.—Amherst Student.

Emory Freshman Has Not Walked in
13 Years, Yet Plays Golf and Hunts

Though he hasn’t walked a step in
thirteen years, Brudd Smith, a Fresh-
man this year at Emory from Rome,
plays golf and hunts as well as many
in control of all their faculties. Along
with Brudd is his pal and comrade
M. E. Morris, also from Rome, who
furnishes the means of locomotion for
the two.

The two youths are inseparable.
When Brudd plays golf Morris drives
him out to the course in Smith’s car
and then pushes him around over the
links. Sometimes also they play catch
with a baseball or go rowing and en-
gage in various other sports which re-
quire only Brudd’s hands.

Inseparable almost as Siamese
twins, Smith and Morris are further
cementing this bond of friendship by
taking the same courses and intend
eventually to go into business to-
gether.

Miss Rosa Belle
Knox at College
For Several Days
Graduated in Class of 1899

Miss Rosa Belle Knox spent several
days at the college last week. We
are delighted that Miss Knox honored
us with a visit. Agnes Scott is great-
ly interested in this distinguished
visitor as she graduated here with the
class of 1899.

Miss Knox taught for fifteen years
at the Mississippi State University.
After retiring from this profession,
she has devoted her time to writing.
Miss Knox is a writer of marked abil-
ity. Her latest book, “School Activi-
ties and Equipment,” not only deals
with the problem of the material and
equipment used in the elementary
schools but also with the new activi-
ty program connected with these
schools. This book is noteworthy as
being the first book of its kind. An-
other book of Miss Knox’ appearing
in the near future is a story of south-
ern plantation life. During the winter
the author carried on her research
work for this book in the Congres-
sional library at Washington, D. C.
This story of the southern plantation
is primarily intended for children. Miss
Knox is expecting to write another
book soon which will probably be
about the Quakers.

Through her marked and exceptional
abilities as a writer Miss Knox has
made quite an enviable reputation for
herself in the literary world. Agnes
Scott is most proud of one of her

‘earlier graduates.

And why this sudden awakening, as

a one with never-ceasing activity and
energy? Why, the campaign, of
ecourse—(and do hope we raise our
forty thousand! A holiday would be

original and acquiring filthy lucre by

time we won’t say a word against that
usually scorned, ridiculed attitude!

But though we’ll admit everything
is rather centered around the school

more or less concentrated on the mil-

Giddy, sug,

Life at the old Hinstitute continues
the same in spite of the pretty pic-
tures. We, however, will probably
grow different—poorer and thinner
women, what with sacrificing that de-
licious hen fruit for breakfast, and
many starvation dinners.

And then, my dear, the campaign
has brought us a reducing machine—
yes—one of those “have an Annette
Kellerman, Edna Wallace Hopper fig-
ure.” The agent came to Dr. McCain
selling them. So he—Dr. McCain,
told him he’d buy one if the agent

would subseribe to the fund. So he did,
and they did, and now we all may do
our stuff. Jo Barry’s thrilled to death
cause it’s so much simpler than her
dieting (I think she’s going to send in
a testimonial with her picture).

That really is a fine liquid diet she’s
been on, though Giddy. Eat every
other day, and on the in-between days,
eat what you please, just so you drink
it. As she was saying on her eating
day: “Tonight let me eat and eat, for
tomorow I liquidate.”

Think of the things people do to be .
beautiful. But I ’spose it’s worth it
if you could look like Julia Rowan
did as Jeannie in that lavendar dress
at the Soph tea-dance (aren’t you
sorry they’re over now?); or as Hazel
Wolfle did when she sponsored the
game last Saturday. They say the
boy she sponsored for is so in love
with her.

Oh, but Rachel Paxon takes this
months prize in “The Most in Love for
a Month Club” we’ve begun. She was
running up and down the hall in Main
the other night crying, “Oh it’s won-
derful to be in love.” I have heard
his name is Cecil.

It must be fine to have your house
president in that state; she shouldn’t
be half as hard on you. But did you
hear the new system suggested to
Exec for the campaign. Let us pay
fifty cents to get out of restriction,
and seventy-five to get out of campus.
Refined methods of bribery, I s’pose.
I bet they really would make money.

Dorothy Hutton’s trying so hard to
save. Have you noticed her finger all
tied up lately? She dislocated it try-
ing to get a nickle out of the pay
phone.

Poor Mr. and Mrs. Stukes were cer-
tainly keeping the phone busy the
other night. They just didn’t try to
make up any excuses. They just said,
“We forgot to come to dinner at the
Tea House, Mildred.”

He ought to use one of those
memonic (yes, I know that’s spelled
wrong) systems he recommends to his
classes. You learn rules, especially,
by haying a sentence made up of words
beginning with the first letter in the
names of the rules. They spend heap
more time making up sentences than
anything else. Belle Ward had a very
complicated one about “No, Miss Dex-
ter, the cute class quits.” But the
funniest one I’ve heard was Sara
Townsend’s “Oh take your chemistry
in a real flunking section.”

You ought to use one, Giddy—it
might make you remember to write me
occasionally.

As usual,
Aggie.

other day. He said, ‘Never have I
known graduates of any institution to
be as loyal to their Alma Mater as
the graduates of Agnes Scott.” I have
tried to think why. One reason is the
size of the college. Every student may
know more or less intimately every
other student. Another thing that
comes out of this investigation is the
curriculum. When you suffer with
people you get to love and trust them.
Another thing is the spiritual environ-
ment. We’re all familiar with the fact
that Agnes Scott is built upon a rock
foundation, on a belief in God. Out of
all this loyalty it seems to me the
foundation is love. We have found in-
tense loyalty to Agnes Scott.

Next on the program (and what pro-
gram would be complete without it?)
was a speech from Miss Polly Stone,
Alumnae Secretary. She explained
that she thought she was to speak on
the “Alumnae,” but that that morn-
ing Miss Wilburn told her she was to
speak on “Making Money” and since
the two sounded very much alike she
should be excused for the mistake on
her part and that she had not pre-
pared a speech but since she did know
lots of ways of making money she
would be very glad to tell us how.
She reminded us of that saying, she
forgot who said it, perhaps Shake-
speare or Coleridge: “A penny saved
is a penny earned.” She suggested
that we get conscious about our spend-
ing money. She added that we could
do anything we wanted to do, although
we might break a leg or two, but if
we think it’s worthwile we can do it
and as one author says, “The time has
come!”

Peggy Lou Armstrong gave a very
inspiring little talk in which she voiced
the viewpoint of the student toward
the campaign. She would have us
imagine Columbus as a pioneer talk-
ing to one of his captains. Or
imagine any pioneer talking to an-
other. The pioneer sees the horizon,
he blazes the trail. He has made his
plans, He is asked: “Are you going
alone?” And he answers, “No, aren’t
you going with me?” All of us ad-
mire pioneers but why is it we don’t
all step out and say “We’re coming
too.” Think of the camapign as an
act of pioneering. In this three things
are essential:

1. Conscious belief in the cause.

2. Vision.

8. Acknowledge your part in the
campaign.

The last hockey games of the sea-

Every class was making her last trial
for a place for the hockey banner. The
first half of the Junior-Sophomore

the second half was much faster, net-
ting the Juniors the one goal that gave
them the game. The Seniors seemed
to have little trouble in defeating the

TECH STUDENTS RUN HIGHS

The Commerce Department of Geor-
gia Tech will run J. M. High Company
on Tuesday, November 27. The store
will be turned over entirely to the stu-
dents.

It is quite amusing to see some of
these brawny athletes selling hosiery
or writing advertising copy. Ed
Hamm, Olympic broad jump champion,
is in the lingerie department. Red
Hollerman, captain of the champion
swimming team, is handling trinkets.
Joe Westbrook, one of our famous
football players, is personell man and
Red Harris, forward on the basket-
ball team, is one of our famous de-
partment heads. Other athletes take
part in this work.

Besides the students running the
store there will be an exhibit of all
of Tech athletic honors, the store will
be decorated in white and. gold, the
Tech band will be on hand to render
Ramblin’ Wreck, and a general college
aid will be created.

Watch for the “Yellow Jacket spe-
cials.”

Championship ph

“Where?”
“On the merry-go-round.”
Faculty-Varsity Game to Be ei
Held Tomorrow.

And then still yet again, there was
the Seotch general who wouldn’t give

up.

The hockey championship for the
season 1928-29 goes to the Senior
class. The Seniors suffered only one
real defeat though they were tied
twice. Second place goes to the
Freshmen, and third to Juniors.

The hockey season was very suc-
cessful and many are sorry to see it
close. But there is one more big game
which is to be the climax of the sea-
son. This game is to be the Varsity-
Faculty game to be played tomorrow
afternoon at 4:30. Come out and see
your favorite professor star in hockey.

Raemond Wilson Talks On
“Thanksgiving.”

When I stop to think of Thanksgiv-
ing, of all that it means to me, of all
the things which have made me thank-
ful throughout the past years, of the
things for which I am thankful this
year, I wonder just what the day and
the thought of it means to you.
the one day of the year on which you
sit and make a summary of all your

blessings, and then proceed to be
periodically thankful for them? Or
do you rejoice because the day is a

holiday and one which sparkles with
material good things? Or do you feel
that just to be alive on that day is
quite enough?

Thanksgiving is for each of us sig-
nificant in a particular way. And to-
night I should like for us to think to-
gether for a little while about why we
should celebrate a national Thanks-
giving Day, in what spirit we should
be thankful, and what we should be
thankful for.

The story of the first Thanksgiving
Day is familiar to us all: how with
feasting and good-fellowship the Pil-
grims gave thanks to God for their
new homes, for their opportunities of
serving Him as they felt they should,
for His protection, for His material
blessings to them. The next year at
harvest time they did the same; the
next year, and the next, until in the
course of time our Congress set aside
the last Thursday in November to be
a day on which our entire nation

“shoutd be thaukful together:

Then, the nation was young, and
life was lived leisurely; people had
time to be thankful, day-by-day. But
today, when each day is crowded full
of little things to do and think about,
how many of us take time to be really
thankful?

“The flame of my life burns low
Under the cluttered days,
Like a fire of leaves.
But always a little blue, sweet-smell-
ing smoke
Goes up to God.”

But does “a little blue, sweet-smell-
ing smoke always go up to God” from
each of us?

This is why I’m glad we celebrate
Thanksgiving Day, today. For, on
Thanksgiving Day, each of us can be
silent and know that every other per-
son in our nation is being silent, and
that there are many, many columns of
thin blue smoke from the shining
flames of as many lives going up to
God. The unity of this one day alone
should make every other day of the
year worth while.

In what spirit should we be thank-
ful?
repetition of the words: “I am grateful
to You for this, Lord; I thank You for
that”? Is not true thankfulness a
radiance from within which is reflect-
ed in love? Does not love issue into
service?

“You have been told that life is
darkness, and in your weariness you
echo what was said by the weary. And
I say that life is indeed darkness save
where there is urge.

“And all urge is empty save where
there is knowledge.

“And all knowledge
where there is service.

“And all service
where there is love.

“And when you serve with love you
bind yourself to yourself, and to one
another, and to God.

“And what is it to serve with love?

“Tt is to weave the cloth with
threads drawn from your heart, even
as if your beloved were to wear that
cloth.

“It is to build a house with affec-

is vain save

Given Hockey Stick
By the Senior Class

Custom Established of Giv-
ing Stick to Best Soph-
omore Player.

Last Wednesday when the Senior

Is it} class of ’28 presented a hockey stick

to the best Sophomore player a prece-
dent was set which all succeeding
Senior classes will follow.

After the Student-Faculty game last
Wednesday, Louise Fowler, Senior
hockey manager, presented a hockey
stick painted with the Senior yellow
and white to Chopin Hudson in recog-
nition of the fact that she, best of all
the Sophomore team, had lived up to
the highest ideals of sportsmanship.
In their choice of Chopin the judges

‘considered not only attitude towards

,

Is thankfulness merely a hollow |

the sport but teamwork.

The idea was originated at a meet-
ing of the Athletic Board early last
fall and has been an incentive to bet-
ter play throughout the season.

Each year the recipient of this stick,
after playing with it during her Junior
year, will give it to the Senior class
at the close of the hockey season. And
each year the colors of the current
Senior class will be painted on its base
and the stick awarded to the best
player on the Sophomore team.

To receive this stick is the highest
honor to be achieved in hockey.

Mr. Sinclair Sinclair Speaks
On “Stained Glass”

“Pink

Painted Scenery for
and Patches.”

It was the privilege of the college
community to hear in chapel Satur-
day morning Mr. Archie Sinclair, of
New York City, who spoke on the
subject of “Stained Glass.” Mr. Sin-
clair was received with especial favor
because it was he who painted the
scenery for “Pink and Patches” when
it was presented last spring in the
Belasco Cup contest.

Mr. Sinclair gave an exceedingly in-
teresting talk, touching upon the
stained glass itself, and the making of
stained glass windows. The latter was
made extremely vivid by drawings,
and by models which were hung in the
chapel windows.

dwell in that house.

and reap the harvest with joy, even as
if your beloved were to eat the fruit.

“Tt is to charge all things you fash-

SPilibe: oa =

“Service is love made visible.”

Is thankfulness, then, a passive,
static thing? Is it not rather an ac-
tive, dynamic force which forms one
of the most potent motives of our
lives?

For what are we thankful? For
what should we be thankful? To-
night I am sure we are glad because of
these orange candles as they burn;
for the past three days we have all
been ecstactically thankful for the
glorious success of our campaign;
throughout the past successive years
we have been thankful for our homes,
for our fathers and mothers, for our
friends, for our church, for our nation,
for Agnes Scott and all that she means
to us, for our length of days—the
beauty of them, the opportunities
which we have met, and sometimes
failed to meet in full. Those things
belong to the past and to the present.
The blessings of these years are woven

Campus Goes Over
Top in Campaign

Quota Set Is Exceeded By
$37,046.25.

One of the greatest and most far-
reaching events in the history of
Agnes Scott College took place on
Thursday morning when it was an-
nounced that the campus quota for
the Endowment campaign had not only
been pledged, but that an amount al-
most double the quota set had been
subscribed. Forty thousand dollars had
been set as a goal, while the total sub-
scription amounted to $77,046.25. The
effect of the success of the campus
project, it is felt, will be almost im-
measurable in the remainder of the
campaign.

The chapel was crowded to capacity
with students, patrons and friends of
the college, gathered to hear the re-
sults of the campus drive. Dr. Mc-
Cain turned the exercises over to Miss
Wilburn, chairman of the Campaign
Committee. She called a representa-
tive of the campus organization, of
each class, and of the faculty to an-
nounce the sum each had pledged. Mr.
Robinson of the committee totaled
them. They were as follows:

Campus organizations — __- $ 3,108.00
Preshmen <2 8 6,847.25
SOPHOMOTES: | keen ee 11,555.50

The prizes offered by Mr. Tart to

the classes making the highest per- |

Dr. McCain and Mr.
Stukes to Attend
Educational Meet

Leading Universities and
Secondary Schools to
Be Represented.

The annual meeting of the Associa-
tion of Colleges and High Schools of
the Southern States will be held in
Fort Worth, Texas, December 3-10.
This is an organization of the leading
colleges, universities and high schools
of the South. Dr. McCain, probably
accompanied by Mr. Stukes, will rep-
resent Agnes Scott at this meeting.
The program planned promises to be
a very interesting one. Among the
topics to be discussed are: Psychologi-
cal Tests of the Junior Colleges, Voca-
tional Units for Admission, College
Marking Systems and Comprehensive
Examinations for Admission.

The chief business of this organiza-
tion is first, to check up on member
institutions — their standards, the
progress being made by them, etc.
Agnes Scott has the chairmanship of
the committee which carries on this
phase of the work. Secondly, the or-
ganization hears applications from in-
stitutions desiring membership in the
Association. Agnes Scott is repre-
sented on the council which passes
final judgment on these applications.
This Association has done a great
deal of important work in keeping up
the standards of Southern institutions.
Agnes Scott has always exerted a
great deal of inflience in the organi-

centage in the airplane contest were) zation and has done much for other

next awarded. First prize of $20 went
to the Seniors and second prize of $5
was won by the Sophomore class.

In celebration of the very successful
results Dr. McCain announced two
holidays. One was on last Friday and
the other will be given at the begin-
ning of the Christmas holidays.

The most outstanding feature of this
success is the fact that each individual
on the campus made a contribution to
the fund. This campaign is the first
in the history of Agnes Scott in which
every single person took an active
part and when the goal was so far
surpassed. Indeed, we have yet to
learn of an instance of 100 per cent
giving in any other college. Of one
thing we are quite sure—that no group
of students could exceed in spirit and
co operation the support which was
manifested at Agnes Scott last week.

It is due in large measure to the
co-operation of the parents that this
campaign has been so successful, and
to them we extend our sincere grati-
tude.

The burden of the work of the drive
was borne by the Campaign Commit-
tee, composedjof members of the facul-
ty and student body. This committee
has previously been named in these
eolumns.

Cornelia Engle
Visits College

Field Secretary of Presby-

Here.

Last week Miss Cornelia Engle visit-
ed here at the college her sister, Miss
Margaret Engle, one of our Bible
teachers. Miss Engle has just entered
upon her new work as Field Secretary
of the Young People’s Department of
the Presbyterian church. Many of the
Agnes Scott girls knew Miss Engle at
the conference at Blue Ridge last sum-
mer. Miss Engle, who has a most

striking personality, proved a popular}

visitor. Our best wishes go with
her in her new work, and we hope
that she will come back to see us soon.

Varsity Hockey
Team Chosen

The hockey season has closed and
speculation as to who will make Var-
sity is a thing of the past for the class
teams, and squads and Varsity were
announced last week. It is always a
great honor to make a Varsity team
but this year it is a still greater honor
because of the excellency of so many
players out for hockey this fall. Those
who were chosen for Varsity this sea-
son and who had the opportunity of
meeting the faculty on equal ground
in the Faculty-Varsity game, are:

J. Grey, center forward.

C. Nash, right inside.

R. Worth, left inside.

M. Armstrong, right wing.

L. Kane, left wing.

C. Hudson, right half.

E. Flinn, center half.

E. Rice, left half.

S. Southerton, right back.

C. Heyman, left back.

M. Logan and C. Owen, goalguards.

Airplane Race
Provides Excitement

Seniors, Sophomores, Facul-
ty Go Over the Top.

At last the mystery of Mr. Robin-
son’s 2-10-25 puzzle is solved and we
now know all the thrills of aerial ad-
ventures. Lindy’s flight was tame
eompared with our airplane race in
Main last week. From the minute Mr.
Robinson put up the planes everybody
kept their eyes on the ceiling when
going through the hall. Right from
the start the faculty airplane—of a
sweet, conservative lavendar hue
(somebody stuck a bit of old lace on
it) led the race. But the Seniors kept
close behind them (Ditto Worth said
they were just neck and neck with the
faculty!) But the most thrilling mo-
ments were when Mr. Robinson would
appear with his stick, measuring tape
and stepladder and the planes would
advance. On Wednesday night when all
the pledges were in, was the most ex-
citing part of it all. Mr. Robinson
ealmly(?) sent the faculty “over the
top”—then the Sophs and then the
Seniors. The Juniors and Freshmen
were not far behind. Then we did
have the thrill of a lifetime when Mr.
Robinson said the pledging was 100
per cent!

Elinore Morgan
Speaks to Georgia
Baptist Nurses

Nurses Vote to Adopt Sys-
tem in Nurses’ School.

Tuesday, November 13, Elinore Mor-
gan spoke to the nurses at the Georgia
Baptist Hospital in Atlanta on the sub-
ject of student government. She ex-
plained how the system is operated at
Agnes Scott and so impressed the
nurses that they voted to try student
government in the Nurses’ School.
Elinore also spoke recently in Athens
on the student government system as
employed at Agnes Scott.

Katherine Wilson
Wins Essay Contest

Some time ago, Mr. Orr, our be-
loved chairman of the Board of Trus-
tees, announced an essay contest,
which he was conducting this fall. The
subject of the essay was to be “Mod-
esty.” This contest was not confined
to Agnes Scott but is to be intercol-
legiate. A preliminary contest was
held on our campus for the purpose of
determining the best of the essays
written at Agnes Scott. The prize
offered on the campus was $10 and the

; judging committee takes great pleas-

ure in awarding this prize to Kather-
ine Wilson, a member of the Freshman
class. This winning paper, together
with a group of others, which were al-
most as good, will be entered in the
intercollegiate contest, which is to
close Christmas.

COLLEGE SYMPATHIZES
WITH THE LOGANS

As the paper goes to press we have
news of the death of Mrs. Logan, in
Japan. Mrs. Logan is remembered on
the campus with great affection from
her stay here last year. The college
community extends to Mary Nelson
and Martha, her daughters, and also
to Dr. Logan, whom we learned to love
during his professorship here, its
heartfelt sympathy.

This year as never before Agnes Scott must pause for a mo-
ment of thanksgiving. Thursday will be the richer and the more
meaningful to us with the thought of the response to Agnes
Scott’s need which we hold so closely within our hearts. Looking
to the past, we must surely be deeply impressed with the abun-
dance which is ours.

First in our catalogue we would place friendships. There is
hardly a person here whose life is not stronger and sweeter for
a friend. When the years have passed, there will remain with us
all the memory of a personality whose strength, whose under-
standing, whose loyalty provided a balance between us and a world
which on occasion proved a little full of fret and smart, and far
too full of defeat. Surely if Agnes Scott has brought no other
blessing, we have her friendships.

We have too a set of standards. The depth of thought which
patient men and women have given her through the years; the
ideals of service which college generations have left behind as a
heritage; the high loyalty and honor which have come to constitute
in the public mind the spirit of Agnes Scott—these are not to be
lightly laid aside without a prayer of gratitude. They are the
fabric of a mind, the foundation of a character, the fineness of a
soul.

There is too the indescribable pattern, made up of beauty and
tradition, which Agnes Scott leaves upon our hearts. Moments of
beauty, though fleeting, are not rare—the campus as it passes all
too swiftly from autumn-gold to spring-green; Main Tower on a
starry, frosty night; library windows darkening blue at twilight;
shadows lengthening across the hockey field on a smoky autumn
afternoon. Nor are traditions lacking—White Christmas, carols
sung through the halls in a cold gray dawn, May Day, the solemn-
ity of the Commencement academic procession. These are a life’s
background, a starting point, and, best of all, an impregnable
tower which time and outward circumstances are powerless to
destroy.

Last and most vivid of all just at this time is the sense of
strength which we of the present Agnes Scott generation find in
our loyalty to the college of the future. It is no easy task to lay
hold upon an ideal, to find sufficient support in an intangible faith
to work and pray and live for an achievement whose fruits will
not be ours. Only a discerning, far-seeing group can grasp the
tremendous portent of the future, and make of it the driving force
behind years of endeavor. For this we are grateful in a sense too
deep for anything but silence, so we leave it “unslain by words.”

Surely God has blessed us abundantly with “the ancient,
beautiful things.”

But blessing implies and creates responsibility. Looking to
the past for inspiration we find the future vibrant with possibility.
Life is so wonderfully made that there is always something more
beyond the present—something whose fulfillment is but the ac-
ceptance of the responsibilities which past blessings have laid in
our hands. Surely we have a tryst to keep for the sake of these
friendships, these standards, these traditions; and in the keeping
we ask the power to make of Agnes Scott not only a college larger
in the things that count for material strength, but one finer in the
qualities that make for surety and purpose of real womenhood.

We Think

“To be public opinion, a statement
must be both public and opinion.”

We think that we love Agnes Scott
—and we really do. And yet the ma-
jority of us are developing a habit that
is harmful to the college. People off
the campus have been given an ex-
aggerated idea of how hard Agnes
Scott is. Of course it is not easy here,
and we are proud that it isn’t; for it
is the good hard work that keeps our
standards as they are. But we are
not the only college girls in the world,
or even in the United States, that
study hard.

If a girl is thinking of going to
Wellesly or Vassar, do her friends try
to discourage her because they are
afraid she will have a nervous break-
down within a year? A girl is usual-
ly considered lucky is she can get
into one of those colleges. And yet
there are some people who are doing
that very thing for us—trying to keep
girls from coming here because they
think it is “too hard.” Now, it is not
the alumnae who are doing it—they
know first hand; it is people to whom
we have thoughtlessly exaggerated.
It is undoubtedly done in a thought-
less way without any idea that it is
injuring Agnes Scott, but if we will
make a thoughtful effort to stop “grip-
ing” on and off the campus about how
much we have to do, we can and will
remedy this problem which the col-
lege has.

R. W.,’29.

We intensely dislike Calamity Janes,
but we feel that the time has come for
taking stock, among other things.

The pledging of $77,000 is no small
matter; the paying of $77,00 is a
greater matter still. A large amount
of enthusiasm can die out with the
passage of five years, and numbers
who gave may forget within that time
the urge of class spirit, though they
will hardly lose the essence of school
spirit which is love for Agnes Scott.

Does everyone realize this—or does
this Calamity Jane need to emphasize
it? Our hand is on the plow; we can-
not look backward now. That class
spirit—that school spirit—must prove
strong enough to bring abuot the com-
pletion of our payment. Glorious as is
our pledge, how ignominous would be
our failure, at the end of five year, to
meet it? Strength of purpose does not
admit of such a thing; but the fear of
it should be sufficient to keep the
thought of this finer, future Agnes
Scott in our hearts and on our con-
sciences. Carry the honor system out
side the campus—and farther than the
four years spent within these walls. A
responsibility incurred is one to be
discharged.

Current Events

The Graf Zeppelin has réturned to
Friedrichshafen after its visit to
America. The trip was eminently more
successful than the trip over, the en-
tire time from -Lakehurst, New Jersey,
to the home hanger amounting to only
68 hours and 36 minutes.

The Poincare coalition government
resigned on November 6, following a
walk-out of four radical ministers,
whose party had demanded that the
government reduce appropriations for
national defense and eliminate from
the budget credits to certain teaching
and religious orders.

On the same day, Herbert Hoover,
Republican candidate, was elected
President by an overwhelming major-
ity, his sweep breaking the solid
South. Mr. Hoover’s success in break-
ing the Southern vote is an achieve-
ment which has been described as the
most important political development
in the last quarter of a century.

So advanced is the political develop-
ment of Cuba that during the presi-
dential campaign which recently closed
all parties supported a single candi-
date, Gen. Gerardo Machado y Morales.
When ballots were counted President
Machado was accordingly found to
have been re-elected President. Cubans
thought this election a vast improve-
ment over their last one, during which
twenty politicians were assassinated.

A new York paper recently gave the
following statistics: ‘Ninety per cent
of college students study three hours

opportunities to make its life quite
hectic.

Perhaps we are wrong in trying to
make debate a living institution, but
the value that those who have taken
part have found in it, and the testi-
monies of faculy and alumnae, lead
us to believe it is worthwhile. If we
are wrong, however, please someone
set us right, and once convinced we
will bury it with honors.

Meanwhile, what are we to do with
these numerous invitations? We could
do as many colleges have done—that
is, train a professional team to do all
the debating. But if the activity is
worth that much effort, why not scat-
ter the benefits? That’s the where-
fore of our “fresh tryouts—new team”
for every debate.

Perhaps it is the questions. We have
tried curricular instead of political
questions, but with no success. If any-
one can suggest improvement on the
questions, the matter will be taken up.
If only someone who is interested in
something besides politics will make a
suggestion!

Perhaps it is the work. Of course
you have to work, but so do you for
hall plays, or soph party, or hockey or
anything else you do here. Is it that
you think you cannot debate? It might
be suggested that the qualities needed
for debate are rather those character-
istics needed to get any other activi-
ty. Special talent is demanded for
most things. A good head and a little
nerve are the chief prerequisites for
public speaking and debate.

We do not aim to give a solution.
We only beg one. The Debate Coun-
cil is eager to carry on as large an
intercollegiate debate program as
possible; but we hesitate to go ahead
when no one else seems to care. What
can we do to make debate more at-
tractive? Please make any sugges-
tions and please sign up.

cannot be treated lightly. That is the
college friendships.

“One seldom realizes the value of a
friendship until the ties are broken.
After three months absence from the
campus and fellow students it is easy
to see the importance with which
everyone regards friendships. There
is something fine about any friendship.
The spirit of self sacrifice which exists
makes one feel its supreme impor-
tance. But considering all walks of
life we would say that college friend-
ships are the most steadfast of all.”

—The Tarheel.

Students at the University of Vir-
ginia shrouded the statue of Thomas
Jefferson in black on election day.
When it was practically certain that
Virginia had gone Republican for the
first time since Reconstruction, the
{students draped the statue, located on
the University Campus.

—Collonade.

Resourceful students at the Univer-
sity of Utah are getting around an
edict against smoking on the campus
by smoking on stilts; the matter is
being left almost entirely to the dis-
cretion of the individual smoker, but
twelve inches is considered a safe dis-
tance off the campus.

—The Technique.

We find this in the Public Opinion
of the Vassar Weekly. It may be of
interest to debaters here.

Again Debate

In the same mail as the News con-
taining queries on what’s wrong with
debate, the chairman of debate receiv-
ed an invitation to join eight eastern
men’s colleges—-Harvard, Yale, Prince-
ton, Amherst, Williams, Brown, Penn,
and Wesleyan, in an intercollegiate
debating league. Although such large
offers seldom come our way, numerous
other invitations to debate here and
away, with colleges from all over the
country, are constantly received. We
even had to turn down the unique
“Cowboy debaters” from west Texas
who speak in native costume and
promise half an hour’s clean entertain-
ment along with the debate!

We have to refuse practically all of
these invitations for the simple reason
that from all indications the whole re-
sponsibility for debating would rest on
half a dozen people who are keeping
alive an activity that has been trying
hard to die. Whatever you may think
of the death of college singing, we

Visual Education

It is very probable that the grade
school teachers’ load will soon be
lightened by the use of films in teach-
ing. The Eastman Kodak Company,
acting with the National Educational
Association, has just completed an ex-
periment that seems to demonstrate
conclusively the superiority of the new
method over the old. In geography a
thirty-five per cent gain was register-
ed by the pupils taught by means of
films, and a fifteen per cent gain in
general science. Approximately 5,500
children were taught with films and
5,500 more were taught the same ma-
terial without the aid of motion pic-
tures, in public schools scattered
over twelve cities.

The November meeting of the Salu-
tation and the Cat was held November
9, at the home of Geraldine Le May in
Atlanta, Tryouts for the club were
read and discussed, and it was finally
decided that no one should be taken
in at this time. The club felt that the
tryouts showed promise but that they
did not come up to the standard of the
club. We appreciate the interest
which the girls have shown in trying
out for the club and hope that they
will try again in the spring. Just at
present, the club is writing down its
“impressions.” During the past month,
all of the club members received sev-
eral impressions, so that all had some-
thing to read at the November meet-
ing. We were so much pleased with
the impressions that we have decided
to continue writing them for our De-

impressions that you wish to keep
don’t let them lie about in sight!

Alumnae News _ |Faculty-Varsity
Alumnae, are you coming back Game Is Climax
Thanksgiving? Everybody hopes you

have been hoarding a purse of money
under your pillow these many months
—the price of a ticket to Agnes Scott.
The turkeys are certainly getting fat
—and not even the campaign can rival
you as a maker of excitement. I have
already heard of loads of girls that
are planning to come—Anne McCol-
lum, Bee Keith, Virginia Norris,
Ginger Carrier—and others that we
are going to be mighty glad to wel-
come.

Now for a little news. Pearl Car-
rie Carter, ex ’29, was married Sep-
tember 8th to Mr. R. Graham White.
They are living at 1270 Willow Ave.,
Louisville, Ky.

clerical work in Atlanta.

Mary Martha Lybrook was married
on November 3 in Winston-Salem, N.
C. Her name is now Mrs. Charles
Herbert Neal. We knew Lib (Nor-
fleet) Miller would play the wedding
march.

Peggy Rankin, '28, writes from
Baltimore, “Here I am at Johns Hop-
kins for an M. A. in biology, and when
I compare my feeble mental capacity
with the amount of work it takes, I
wonder why in the world I came. I
see Frances Brown, ’28, and Juanita
Greer, ’26, sometimes, and I am going
to see Mamie Shaw Sunday. Those
familiar faces certainly are like oases
in a desert.”

Sarah (Shields) Pfeiffer’s, ’27, ad-
dress is now Larchmont Apartments,
Larchmont Road, Asheville, N. C.

Georgia Mae Burns, ’27, was mar-
ried on October 2nd to Mr. Julian

AGNES SCOTT URGED TO
ATTEND EMORY STUNT

Stunt night at Emory has as great
a place in the calendar there as it has
at Agnes Scott. This year a vast
amount of work has been put into the
production which goes by the promis-
ing title of “Extravaganza,” and will
be presented on December 3 and 4 at
8:30 o'clock. The globe-trotting Emory
Glee Club will make its first official
appearance of the season.

The management urges that Agnes
Scott girls attend. Special buses will
be run for their convenience between
Decatur and Emory.

Further information regarding this
event, which it is said will almost
overshadow the Georgia-Teach game,
will be found on the bulletin board in
Main.

To Great Day

Varsity Gains Victory.

The Faculty-Varsity game, held last
Thursday afternoon, was a fitting cli-
max to a day so full of joy and ex-
citement as Thursday was to Agnes
Scott. It was an opportunity for stu-
dents and faculty to work off their sur-
plus joy. The Faculty-Varsity hockey
game is an annual event and always
marks the close of the hockey season
for the year. It is the only game in
which the Varsity gets to play as a
whole team and in which the Faculty
jean exhibit their skill in playing
hockey. Dr. MeCain as goal guard
puts Carrington Owen out of the pic-
ture and Dr. Wright is so good that
he only uses one hand, but that one
hand caused the Varsity a great deal
of consternation in their attempted
advances down the field. Miss Pirkle
on the wing, Miss Sinclair at center,
Miss Wilburn, Miss Haynes and all
the rest came in for their share of
the laurels but it would remain to Dr.
Davidson to star by brilliantly gallop-
ing down the field to score the only
goal for the Faculty.

Impossible as it seemed at times the
Varsity managed to get two goals by

DAY STUDENT NEWS

Anything other than campaign news
seems out of order this week, and be-
sides the Day Students have been so
busy being excited over the great
event that they haven’t had time to
make much news of their own. There
has been some feeling on the campus
that they haven’t been as interested
in the drive as the boarders. This is
a mistake as the Day Students re-
sponded beautifully and have been
working whole-heartedly.

It is not often that we have the
pleasure of lunching with our fellow
students, the boarders, and so the cam-
paign luncheon was doubly enjoyed.
The Day Students were there in a
body, and yelled and sang as lustily
as the rest.

We are still planning a rummage
sale in the near future, but this seems
to be a season where few are willing
to stop wearing their rummage and
donate it to the cause. The cold
weather may account for it in some
measure.

Agnes Scott exchanged its provin-
cialism for a world-mindedness at the
World Feilowship Vespers Sunday eve-
ning, and the interest aroused will be
heightened throughout this week set
aside especially for world fellowship.

Chopin Hudson in her talk on the!
subject of World Fellowship brought
out especially the part played by the
student in the working out of inter-
national and interracial problems. Her
talk was followed by that of Sue
Bailey, negro Y. W. C. A. secretary for
; the south, who gave a very interesting
account of her trip with the Student
Friendship Pilgrimage to Europe this
summer. From her close contact with
the different nationalities: and races,
she was able to give us a vivid idea
of the feelings of each of these. In
giving what each people claims as its
special gift to culture, she said that
the negro contribution was in the form
of music. She proved this point by
playing “Mammy,” a typical negro
composition, written by Dett.

It was inspiring to have so interest-
ing and talented a person on the cam-
put and to have a chance to meet her
personally. The large number which
remained after the Vesper service
were further entertained by her sing-
ing some of the old favorite negro!
spirituals and by her playing other
compositions— by famous negro com-
posers.

French Club Guests
Emory French Club

L’'Initiation Presented By
Emory Students.

Nona Cummings
McLaurin.

Mrs. Cummings—Helen Sisson.

Julia Cummings—Margaret Ogden.

Grandma Blessington — Marian
Vaughan.

William Thornton—Ruth Mallory.

Janet Shaw as the sentimental little

_ sister and Polly Vaughan as the deaf
old grandmother insisted on trying to
make everything easy for big sister,
Margaret Ogden, to get engaged. Be-
tween the two, the suitor, Ruth Mal-
lory, had quite a struggle in finally
making his proposal. The scene was
laid in the living room at the Cum-
mings home and the time was the
present.

“Ever Young,” by Alice Gersten-
berg, was played by Belle Ward Stowe
as Mrs. Phoebe Payne-Dexter, Shirley
MecPhaul as Mrs. Agnes Dorchester,
Mary Louise Thames as Mrs, Wm.
Blanchard, and Eileen Moore as Mrs.
Caroline Courtney-Page. The lobby of
a Palm Beach Hotel was the setting
and the time was the present. This
play was a very amusing bit of drama.
The plot centered around the gossip
of four old ladies who exchanged ideas
and experiences of marriage.

Doris Kallman’s “Will 0’ the Wisp,”
a beautiful fantasy, was played next.
An old woman’s home at Land’s End
on a summer evening about dusk were
the scene and time of the fantasy.

The characters:

The Old Woman of Land’s End—
Marion Greene.

The waif who lives with her—Louise
Robertson.

The Poet’s Wife—Sara Carter.

Norah, her maid—Anna L. Chan-
dler.

The lighting of this delightful fan-
tasy was effective, and the whole play
was very wierd. Louise Robertson’s
dancing as the Will o° the Wisp was
extremely good.

Blackfriars, according to custom,
presented Miss Gooch, director, with
a lovely basket of chrysanthemums,
Despite the fact that this is a custom,
its meaning is not to be forgotten for
it is indeed a token of appreciation
on the part of Blackfriars for Miss
Gooch’s untiring interest in them.

The honor guests for the evening}
were: Dr. and Mrs. Thomas P. Hin- |
man, Dr. and Mrs. Dunbar Roy, Dr.
and Mrs. Alfred de Jonge, Mr. and|
Mrs. Charles Carter, Miss Louise Me-
Kinney and Miss Margaret Bland.

Supper-Hike Is
Ciended by Forty

The French Club met Monday night,
November 26, in the Theology Build-
ing at Emory University as guests of
the Emory French Club. Cars were
provided by members of the French
faculties of Emory and Agnes Scott.
After brief talks by Miss Marie Good-
year, presdient of the Emory French
Club, and by Dr. Pierre Porohovshikoy,
honorary member of the Emory facul-
ty, a play entitled “L’Initiation” was
presented by the Emory club in which
Mr. Leon Hall took the leading part.
Following this, tea and sandwiches
were served.

two teams was:

the fact that she had at this time set

for membership in such a beautiful and

German Club Plans
Entertainment for
College Community

Everyone Invited to Attend
German Christmas.

The German Club, Agnes Scott’s
youngest organization, is planning, a
unique and interesting entertainment
for the entire college community.
Everyone will be invited to spend a
“good old German Christmas” with the
club in Rebekah Scott lobby, Monday
night before the holidays. During the
evening a German nativity play,
“Weihnacht am Heidenstein” (Christ-
mas at the Heathens’ Altar) will be
presented in German by members of
the club—with explanations in English
by Dr. DeJonge. Refreshments will be
served at the close of the evening.

Cotillion Dance Is

Outstanding Social
Event of Season

Grand March and Cotillion
Figure Are Features.

Evening dresses of rainbow colors!
Showers of bright confetti! Snappy
music by a real orchestra! Charming
“little sisters”! Every face adorned
with such a smile, the annual Cotillion
Club Thanksgiving dance, which took
place last Wednesday night was bound
to be a huge success.

The gym was a veritable fairyland
with its floating decorations. A canopy
of brilliant orange and yellow stream-
ers hung above the heads of the
dancers, and the basketball goals were
disguised with floods of crepe paper.
Under this flimsy ceiling moved a
crowd of pretty girls in dresses of
myriad colors—pinks, blues, lavendars,
yellows, and greens, laces, satins, vel-
vets, georgettes and filmy chiffons,
making the scene look like a picture
from a fairy book or like a glimpse
into wonderland.

After the first few dances everyone
lined up for a grand march. In columns
of twos the dancers marched from the
doors of the gym, down the center of
the floor to the other end where they
were given fayors, little paper bundles
of confetti. Near the stage the part-
ners separated, going to the left and
right and meeting again at the door.

During the evening the members of
Cotillion led by Miss Hale and Jo
Barry executed ta figure C. To
prove their worth they also had a
cotillion “no break.” After seeing it
everyone was willing to grant each
member a graduate certificate in the
art of dancing.

Refreshments were served through-
out the evening. It was necessary only
to visit the little table on one side of
the gym to be refreshed with icy punch
and delicious little cakes.

At about ten fifteen there was a
general rush for coats and a general
complain of aching feet. And every-
one is looking forward to the next
Thanksgiving at A. S. C.

White House to
Present Stunt
For Campaign

Representation of Crime of
1898 Will Be Given.

On Saturday night at eight o’clock
there is scheduled to take place one of
the most interesting events of the
year. The ghosts of White House will
reappear there. In 1898 a most hor-
rible crime was perpetrated in the
very presence of the inmates, robbing
the school of the very essence of
beauty and the flower of modesty.
Every ten years this crime is reenacted
that the memory of the fair girl and
her innocent romance may not be for-
gotten. This will be their last appear-
ance for before 1938 a beautiful new
dormitory will replace the old land-
mark. An admission fee of ten cents
will be charged by the members of
White House, the proceeds of which
will go to the campaign.

Pen and Brush Club

Hears Archie Sinclair;

Instead of the regular meeting last
week, the Pen and Brush Club made a
trip to High’s Museum to hear a lec-
ture by Archie Sinclair, who is well
known as a painter of stage scenery.
We were interested in him primarily
because he did the background for
“Pink and Patches” when it was given
in New York. Some of the paintings
which Mr. Sinclair had on exhibition
there were very interesting.

Alumnae Honor Miss
Young at Lovely Tea

Many Out-of-Town Alumnae
Present.

The Agnes Scott alumnae homecom-
ing tea in honor of the birthday of
Miss Anna Young, on Friday, was a
social event of unusual interest and
importance.

The reception rooms of the Anna
Young alumnae house were decorated

with chrysanthemums in shades of

gold and bronze. Those in the receiy-
ing line were: Mrs. S. Guerry Stukes,
chairman of the house committee and
joint hostess of the occasion, Mrs.
Arthur Beall, Mrs. Samuel Young,
mother of Miss Anna Young; Mrs. J.
J. Eagan and Mrs. Paul Brown, sisters
of Miss Young; Miss Nannette Hop-
kins, dean of the college, and Miss
Lucile Alexander, Miss Louise McKin-

ney poured tea, while little Miss Anna
Young Eagan received the cards of the
guests.

During the afternoon more than a
hundred and fifty guests called. These
included local and out-of-town alum-
nae, representatives of student organi-
zations and presidents of classes, stu-
dents now in college whose mothers
are Agnes Scott alumnae, and other
friends of the college.

Among the out-of-town alumnae
who were guests at the Alumnae
House during the Thanksgiving holi-
days were the following: Miss Virginia
Carrier, Miss Catherine Carrier, of
Asheville, N. C.; Miss Beulah David-
son, of Tate, Ga.; Miss Mae Erskine
Irvine, of Florence, Ala.; Miss Mary
Heath, of Augusta, Ga.; Mrs. Louise
Pfeiffer Ringel, of Brunswick, Ga.;
Miss Ruth Evans Massengill, of Bris-
tol, Tenn.; Miss Edith Gilchrist and
Miss Eleanor Gresham, of Birming-
ham, Ala,; Miss Annie Wilson Terry,
of Montgomery, Ala.; Miss Louisa
White, of Atlanta; Miss Maurine Bled-
soe, of Asheville, N. C.; Miss Virginia
Norris and Miss Bee Keith, of Green-
ville, S. C.; Miss Roberta Winter, of
Corinth, Miss.; Miss Nellie Richard-
son, of Warrenton, Ga.; Miss Cleo Mc-
Laurine, of Charlotte, N. C.; Miss
Rachel Henderlite, of Gastonia, N. C.;
Miss Marion Daniel, of Charlottesville,
Va.; Miss Anne McCollum, of Thomas-
ville, Ga.

DAY STUDENTS PLAN
WORK DURING XMAS

Davison-Paxson Company Will
Furnish Opportunity

The Day Students held an important
meeting Wednesday morning at which
several matters were discussed. Ruth
Worth told the Day Students about
working at Davison-Paxon’s during
the Christmas holidays. The company
has made a much better proposition
this year than before.

A discussion was then held as to
the definite date for our Day Student
meetings and it was decided to hold
them on the first and third Wednes-
days of each month, with call meet-
ings for any important matter that
may come up. We hope that in this
way we can have a bigger and more
regular attendance.

MORGAN AND SMITH
TO ATTEND MEETING

Elinore Morgan and Dorothy Smith,
will leave Saturday, December 8th for
Columbia, Missouri, where they will
attend a National Student Government
Conference to be held at the Univer-
sity of Missouri. They are to be gone
a week and will stop by to see Mary
Shewmaker and other Alumnae on the
way back.

BORROWING TROUBLE

The story is told of an old man who on his eighty-fifth birth-
day was looking back over his life and recalling all the difficulties
and hardships he had encountered. He says, though, at the end,
“the worst things in my life were those that never happened.”
Just as this man had done, many of us are spending a great part
of our time worrying about things that will never happen. We
have an idea that something unpleasant may happen and we im-
mediately begin worrying about it, and planning what can be done
and thus waste a great deal of time and thought on a mere possibil-
ity. We are not satisfied that our own minds are in turmoil and
anxiety but must tell someone and let her worry, too. When we
hear a rumor that something dreadful may happen we immediately
spread the rumor so that others may worry with us.

When we worry we are borrowing trouble from the future
and are thus allowing this to take up so much of our time that we
overlook the present. The old proverb “Take care of today, and
tomorrow will take care of itself” is an excellent.rule to follow.
If we spent half as much time thinking about today and its prob-
lems as we do about tomorrow and its possibilities we would ac-
complish much more than we do.

By letting tomorrow “take care of itself” we do not mean to
discourage foresight. We must be able to see ahead and plan our
lives with the future in view, but there should not be the worry
and anxiety that usually accompanies this. We must be able to
foretell to a certain extent just what will happen—have clearness
of vision, but there should be a minimum of worry and unneces-
sary anxiety. For we would not say in the end we have spent
most of our time on things that never happened.

SEE YOURSELF AS OTHERS SEE YOU

There are times and places for everything. The proper place
to sing our Alma Mater is not on the streets of Atlanta nor is
Nunnally’s the place to vent the supposedly private student opin-
ion on wine, men and song. The world at large sees us as we goon
our way unthinking and judges thereby. They say of us: “They
are college girls and have license.”

See yourself as others see you. There is no one thing which
will remedy a false impression of the outside world. It is our
general conduct, our general bearing and manner which gives
others their impression of us and of Agnes Scott. Toa ver y large
extent we, the students, make the school and the outside opinion
of it. If our conduct is ever at any time or place unseemly or of
such a tone as would be against the principles and detrimental to
the spirit of Agnes Scott then we are not only harming our good
name but also that of our Alma Mater. We want to be worthy
of the name of Agnes Scott and we certainly want Agnes Scott
to be worthy of us. Agnes Scott is doing what she can for us—
are we doing all we can for her?

We should be careful of our conduct for when we least expect it
we are being watched. People are always for ming opinions about
the student body. See yourselves as others see you.

Current Events

Several Governors attending the
annual meeting of State Executives at
New Orleans and prominent leaders of
American Federation of Labor now
meeting there expressed general ap-
proval of President-elect Hoover’s plan
of stabilizing employment by means of
a $3,000,000 fund to be employed in
construction work in slack time. Ac-
cording to Governor Brewster the plan
rests on the establishment of agencies
to ascertain the state of the nation’s
business. If indications showed de-
pression near, large sums would be re-
leased by Federal and State agencies
employing large numbers of men on
construction of roads, buildings, and
public supplies thus avoiding the
threatened depression.

The 1928 Nobel Prize in literature
was awarded to Mme. Sizrid Undset,
the 1927 literature prize, held over
from last year, to Henri Bergson; and
the 1928 prize in chemistry to Prof.
Adolf Windaus.

For centuries Turkey has been re-
garded by Europe as a strange and
isolated nation. President Mustafa
Kemal is linking it more closely with
the nations of the west by one of the
greatest of his national reforms—the
abandoning of the Arabic script for
the Latin alphabet. A staff of 12,000
teachers has been recruited, and all
newspapers are ordered to use the
Latin script after December 1. The
plan provides that all Turks over the
age of forty-six shall learn the new
letters.

On November 10 the Emperor
Hirohito formally ascended the throne
of Japan, promising to cultivate
friendly relations with all nations. He
has reigned in fact since the death of
his father two years ago, and the
ritual observances simply served to
confirm his power. As a concession to
the twentieth century, representatives
of the press witnessed the ceremony
for the first time.

Last week, while we were craning
our necks to see the progress of blue,
yellow, red and black aeroplanes—oh,
I nearly forgot the lavendar one!—
other people were craning their necks
to see our President-elect, Mr. Hoover,
board the dreadnought Maryland, and
start on the longest journey ever un-
dertaken by a President-elect or Presi-
dent in office of the United States. Mr.
Hoover’s probable itinerary is as fol-
lows: Nicaragua, Colombia, Ecuador,
Peru, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay,
Brazil, and Venezuela. His purpose is
the promotion of good will, trade re-
lations, discovery, and experience.

In the meantime, Mr. Smith, in Al-
bany, states that he does not ever ex-
pect to run for public office again. He
has had all he can stand of it. “TI
will never lose my interest in public
affairs,” he says, “but as for running
for office—that is out of the ques-
tion.”

But America’s “high-in-office” are
not the only ones to do interesting
things. A week or so ago, the King-
Emperor of Great Britain donned “the
ermine, the purple, and the crown”;
and, with Queen-Empress Mary, enter-
ed the Gothic hall of the House of
Lords, where he opened Parliament
with his speech from the throne. Par-
liament, once opened, spent the first
two days arguing back and forth about
the terms of the Anglo-French Pack.

November 19.)

| Albania’s new king was recognized
last week by the country most hostile
to him—Yugo-Slavia.

The royal family of Rumania, too,
is in the limelight, for that country
‘has at last been freed from her fam-
ily of dictators, and a peasant cabinet
has been formed.

More ‘splendid than any of these
rulers, whe bear merely the title of
President or of King, is the Emperor
of Japan, who was enthroned last
week with more pomp and ceremony
than we of the occident can ever im-
agine,

EXCAAAGE

Best Guess Gets “A”

Syracuse, N. Y.—‘Students who are
the best guessers get the “A’s” de-
clared Dr. Herbert N. Shenton, head
of the sociology department at Syra-
cuse university, in a recent lecture.

“Those who cannot guess quite as
well,” he said, “get the ‘B’s’, and those
who guess, but not with any degree of
accuracy, do not pass.”

Closing his remarks, Dr. Shenton
said, “Scientific advancement and in-
tellectual awakening are in direct pro-
portion to people’s ability to guess cor-
rectly, and make the right choices.”

jeers, and hisses which appear in
prominent parentheses -at the con-
clusion of the candidate campaign par-
agraphs, we would suggest a slightly
more subdued etiquette at college lec-
tures and concerts.

Consider, for instance, the little mat-
ter of entering right or exiting left.
This seems of very minor importance
to a group around a bally-hooing soap-
box orator, but becomes an event of
note to an entire audience when done
in a quiet hall during an affecting

pianissimo, or after the usual “Ladies —Sou’wester.
and er-gentleman.” Heads turn, chairs

creak, notebooks rustle, pens drop, and = .

the continuity of the music or of the Views and Interviews

speech is broken for many people.
Another breach is all too apparent,
particularly at lectures when the un-
fortunate speaker, who has not been
trained in the art of “waiting-for-the-
bell” talks a minute or two overtime.
No matter how interested and intent
the students may have been before the
clang, there is after it an immediate
concentration upon wrist-watches,
upon coats, hats, and where shall we
go after this.
The moral

The day students are rather neglect-
ed in the gossip items of the paper, it
seems, and it really is a shame, be-
cause they are awfully nice. So I
thought it would be a fine idea to in-
terview them on—well, I just couldn’t
think of a subject at first. But you
can’t go anywhere on the campus
without hearing of their enthusiastic
plans, very original, too, for the En-
dowment campaign. The day students
just as well as the boarders are in
favor of a greater Agnes Scott and in
saving the pennies.

Peggy Hirsch has a brilliant idea.
She says she’s going to do without her
weekly manicure, and donate her
“dancing fingers,” the Cutex ads say,
to the fund. Mary Gladys Steffner has
already changed from drinking sweet-
milk to buttermilk in the Tea Room.
And, by the way, you should have
heard what she said in Miss Omwake’s
Experimental Psych class. It was
about symptoms young men show
while smoking cigarettes.

Mary Torrence says she is going to
kill two birds with one stone and do
without Hershey bars. Growing les-
ser while Aggie grows greater, in
other words. Louise Brewer had the
same idea, only she seems to be kill-
ing three birds. She says she’s going
to study in the library during lunch,
so in addition she will learn more, but
I think that is a rather strenuous way
to save. Margaret Andrea Hamrick
says she’s going to cut down on
Hugh’s Christmas present. That is so
self-sacrificing—for poor Hugh, isn’t
it?

Miriam Brooch hasn’t devised a plan
for saving yet. She really ought to
send back her new radio, because she
is so intrigued by it she can’t eat,
sleep, or study. This doesn’t have any-
thing to do with the campaign, but
be sure to ask her why she is taking
a poetry course.

Emily Post
In spite of the laughter, applause,

is obviously of the
golden-rule variety. It is difficult
enough to present a concert or a
speech, without the handicap of a
squirming, inattentive group of listen-
ers.

“Air Minded” Students

That the wheezing and coughing
“collegiate” Ford must not have a
sister conveyance in the air, is the
warning of Mr. Edward P. Warner,
Assistant Secretary of the Navy in
charge of Aviation. Mr. Warner, in
an address before the Third Intercol-
legiate Aviation Conference at Yale,
pointed out the danger of flying with
any but trustworthy planes.

College men are beginning to take
to the air in appreciable numbers. The
Harvard Flying Club and that at the
University of Southern California are
two of the most advanced student
groups. The latter already owns sev-
eral planes. European students, how-
ever, surpass the Americans in flying.
One of the speakers at the conference
cited a meeting in the Rhone section
last August where 400 planes were
entered. Eight hundred pilots took
part, ninety per cent of whom were
college men. College men won all of
the prizes.

The popularity of flying has added
a new prohibition to the list of “thou
shalt nots” of the Wellesley College
Handbook. The dean’s office issued the
edict that, “no student while under the
jurisdiction of the college may ride in
an aeroplane unless permission has
been granted from the dean’s office
and the written consent of her par-

An anonymous gift of $3,000,000,
announced by President Lowell of
Harvard last week is to be used to
remedy the much-discussed defect of
the large university. A sort of inner
college will be erected similar to the
separate colleges of Oxford and Cam-
bridge. This college will be equipped
to accommodate about 300 students,
picked from widely differing groups,
and also a staff of instructors and
tutors. The men are to attend the
usual university classes. The project
of the “inner college” at Harvard is a
result of student discussion as sum-
marized in the 1926 report of the
Students’ Council.

THE AGONISTIC

Giddy, m’love,

Do you realize that this time in two
weeks I’ll be with you! And so many
things we will have to talk about—the
kinds of things it is not safe to write;
Scandal, with a capital S. Though of
course there isn’t much. The worst
was discovered by Mr. White the other
night when he caught somebody dis-
guised in a black robe slipping in
Gaines at one o’clock. And it was
Hoasc, who most got called up to Exec
for slipping out. Mr. White registered
a complaint with Miss Hopkins. Said
he couldn’t stay up so late to chaperon.
them around. It’s a good thing he
was up the other night after that
crowd came in from “Dracula.” Louise
Yerxa said she’d never been so scared
in her life.

I think he’s going to have to start
chaperoning Sally Southerland’s dates,
if all I hear is true. Rachel told me
she overheard a supposedly prosaic
Scotchman, under the effects of moon-
light (no, Goddy, not moonshine),
making ardent remarks about the dark

“mystery of Sally’s beauty.

And Baby Sara! Now I ask you,
Giddy, don’t you think a boy must
have a mighty fine opinion of a girl
when he could so far misunderstand
her roommate as to think that Merritt
said Baby Sara was in the Reform-
atory instead of the Infirmary.

Oh, I tell you, Mr. White has his
hands full, and Ella too. My date told
me the other night she certainly was
a good nurse.

But they didn’t get to see Firpo give
Helen Hendricks that lovely new A. T.
0. ring for her birthday, and neither
they, nor anybody else seems to know
very much about that executive cham-
ber Mariom Greene has established. I
have been ae that Nancy Crockett
knows. mest about it.

It’s such interesting information,
she ought to charge for it, just as
Mary Cope does for all her little odd
jobs. She certainly has the campaign
spirit intensely and heatedly. Do you
know what she does to make money,
my dear. She gets in your bed on cold
nights and warms it up for you. Then
— “ten cents, please” in a very busi-
nesslike manner.

That’s what I call doing something
“for love or money’—in this case,
both. But Miriam Brooch is the best
example of working out of pure love.
She, it seems, has a very unpoetic
temperament and attitude, but this
boy she’s in love with is exactly the
other way. So to continue as his ideal
girl, she has to take a hard poetry
course, and appear intelligent.

Not many of us could qualify for
ideal girls right now. We're all re-

cuperating still from the excitement of
Thanksgiving and the grant cotillion
dance. Oh and Giddy the saxophone
player in the orchestra asked Mar-
garet Minnis for a date. No wonder—
that was such a cute evening dress
she had on. Everybody looked so
good, Giddy. I wish you could have
seen them. It was an extraordinary
time too. The first time in college
history that anything has happened

and Mr. Elliot didn’t come out to take
a flashlight picture what wouldn’t
flash.

But that’s the last excitement until
this week-end with the Tech-Georgia
game. Meantime we have to work
hard so we can Christmas shop and
beautify ourselves before the eigh-
teenth. You will not recognize me
then, Giddy, I assume you. Betty
Peeples and I are reducing so hard;
she’s five pounds ahead right now—
I mean she’s lost that much more than
me, so I must stop writing you and
study so I’ll have something to worry
about. Circles under your eyes are
supposed to be intriguing. So yours
for more mascara and less food,

Aggie.

Kitty! Kitty!

ternity pin.”

Shirley: “Well, we have to hand Dr.

Hays one thing.”
Zou W.: “What's that?”
Shirley: ““A theme every week.”

Flapper (to drugstore clerk): “I

want a green lipstick, please.”

D. S. C.: “What do you want a
green lipstick for?”
Flapper: “Don’t be stupid, I’ve got

a date tonight with a traffic cop!”

Alumnae News

It was more fun last week—familiar
| faces here and familiar faces there—
and everywhere kissing and hugging.
If you spied a girl in a big fur coat
swinging a bag—then all of a sudden
you saw her swept off her feet by a
group that completely surrounded her
—there was no coming up for air or
anything—well then that was an
alumna. That is the way we always
greet an alumna—and they are glad
to see us too even if they do some-
times whisper among themselves—the
way things have changed—and the
grand style they used to do things in.

What could have been more natural
than to see Bee Keith and Ann Mc-
Collum—*‘the long and short of it”—
come strolling leisurely into the dining
room? There was the same old table
too, Miss Hopkins had seen to that.
Bee, Anne, Virge Norris and Carolyn
Essig.

Rachel Henderlite, ’27, and Jo Bridg-
man were right here. They had come
down from Gastonia together.

Another pair that looked most
natural was Maurine Bledsoe and
Louisa White. Everyone knows that
they can expect Maurine at least twice
a year—that is the spirit!

Louise Phiffer Kingle, ’26, and her
husband came from Brunswick, Ga., to
eat Thanksgiving dinner with us.

There were a lot of girls from the
class of ’28 with us—Virginia Carier,
Ruth Evans Massingale—in fact, there
were thirty-eight at the dinner given
at the Tea House on Saturday night.

The class of twenty-six came in for
their share of representations too—the
Alumnae House was filled. Nellie
Richardson from Washington, Ga.;
Lady Sue Wallace, Ellen Fain, Cather-
ine (Mock) Hodgins.

Mae Erskine Irvine, ’27, and Marcia
Green were here—and made us enjoy
our turkey and cranberries a lot more.

These girls had plenty to do too—
alumnae swims, alumnae archery prac-
tices, alumnae dinners, alumnae teas,
alumnae basketball games. In fact, we
were all for the alumnae!

Mother: “Why, Willie, you shouldn’t
be afraid of the dark.”

Willie: “Aw, ma, I can’t help it.
It gets in my eyes and 1 can’t see any-

thing.”

We Think

There are times when we feel an
impulse to pat ourselves on the back
in regard to our conduct in chapel.
Those times come when we learn that
students elsewhere read newspapers,
prepare lessons, and conduct a general
bull session thruoghout the service.

There are however, times when we
are compelled to wonder why those
those who do not go to chapel are
inconsiderate enough to disturb the
order of service or cause the speaker
of the morning to cast annoyed glances
about him.

Is it absolutely necessary to move
one’s heaviest piece of furniture about
the room between the hours of ten
and ten thirty? Must one run across
the colonnade, or yell up to third floor
Rebekah? “Silence during chapel”
signs seem to be generally disregard-
ed. This should not be so.

People have a certain reverence for
a church, and modulate their voices
and lighten their steps when passing
near. Chapel is due the same respect.

College girls need no proctors dur-
ing the chapel hour to see that a
moderate quiet is preserved. Everyone
concerned would resent that. But is it
not necessary for something to be
done? Surely that something rests
with the individual.

Gen. Jose Maria Moncada, Liberal
candidate, has just been elected presi-
dent of Nicaragua, the election being
carried on under the supervision of
American marines under command of
Brig. Gen. Frank A. McCoy. This
peaceful outcome of the election in
Nicaragua has fully justified the
friendly intercession of the United
States in the internal affairs of an in-
dependent republic, according to the
beliefs of a considerable section of our
press.

MODEL EDITOR FOR
COLLEGE PAPER

With the assistance of past and
present college editors a few of the
requirements and desirable qualities
of the ordinary rank-and-file college
editor

A college editor should be a super-
of

Job, the meekness of Moses,, the edi-

are given below:
man endowed with the patience

torial ability of Horace Greelley, the
managing ability of Charles Schwab,
the diplomacy of Woodrow Wilson, the
the judicial qualities of the former
chief justice John Marshall;
the dignity and philosophy

he needs

of So-
crates; he should have the literary
ability of Shakespeare and sufficient
will-power to split infinitives.

In addition to these few qualifica-
tions, he needs the physique of Jack
Dempsey, the nerve of a hold-up man,
and Edison’s ability to do without
His brain should be so consti-
tuted that he could absorb the essen-
by the barest
perusal of the subjects contained and

tials of these courses

to pass the final exams with honors

so that the faculty will respect him
and allow him to remain in school.
He should be absolutely foreign to the
needs of rest, sleep, eating, recrea-
tion, the love of bull-sessions, the in-
clination for glory in athletics, or
happiness in love.

Having these few requirements, he
should be able to qualify as a fairly
competent editor, and there is a pos-
sibility that he should not be hauled
on the official carpet more than once
a week or kicked by the student body
in general more than twice an issue.—

VOL. XIV

Southeastern Politi-

cal Science Conf.
Called for Feb. 11-12

Dr. Davidson Secretary of
Conference.

A self-constituted committee on lo-
cal arrangements consisting of Prof.
C. B. Gosnell of Emory University,
Prof. Philip Davidson of Agnes Scott,
Dean A. S. Libbey of Oglethorpe, and
Prof. E. B. Meriwether of Georgia
Tech, has issued.a call for the South-
eastern Political Science Conference,
February 11-12, 1929.

The speakers at this time will be
Mr. A. Z. Polyzoides, editor of the At-
lantis, Mrs. Walter S. Dodd, and Gov-
ernor Byrd of Virginia.

The Conference, according to Dr.
Philip Davidson, secretary of the Con-
ference, is frankly an experiment, and
is being held because of the great need
for it felt by the teachers of political
science in the southeast. It is hoped
that this meeting will be succeeded by
others held annually and that those
who attend will take over the Confer-
ence from the self-chosen committee
on arrangements.

Its purpose will be to furnish a dis-
cussion of the more important topics
for those unable to attend the annual
meetings of the National Association,
to more closely weld together the
cf political seienee in this
region, and to encourage research
among them.

Last Preliminary to
Vassar Debate Heard

Debaters to Speak at Pough-
keepsie Saturday.

On Monday night the Agnes Scott
debating team, for the last time be-
fore leaving for New York, debated on
the subject upon which they will meet
Vassar on Saturday: Resolved, That
the publicly owned water power re-
sources of the United States should be
developed and operated by the federal
and state governments. Agnes Scott
will defend the negative.

In the debate on Monday Frances
Messer, speaking first, presented the
argument that publicly owned water-
power resources, in the hands of the
government, would remove the monop-
oly of a few capitalists, whose regu-
lations at present are a failure.

Eleanor Lee Norris, of the negative,
and a member of the team which will
debate Vassar, stated that the prob-
lem was how to get the power and how
to get it at the lowest rate. Though a
change is needed, that suggested by
the affirmative is not the best, govern-
ment operation being unnecessary in
view of the present regulatory system.

Rowena Runette, in attempting to
prove government control to be the
solution, stated that it would result in
low rates and fair distribution.

The last speaker on the negative,
Esther Nisbit, who will also go to
Vassar, upheld the argument that gov-
ernment control would be economical-
ly unsound, first, because it would be
inferior to private ovénership, and,
second, because it would standardize
the industry.

The debate was adjourned without a
decision.

Martha Stackhouse will go to Vas-
sar as alternate.

Augusta Dunbar presided over the
debate Monday night.

Christmas Services
Among Agnes Scott’s
Loveliest Traditions

Series Already Begun By
Red Candle Services.

There are certain programs it has
been Agnes Scott’s custom to give for
so many years that they have become

matters of tradition with us. Among

these are the Christmas services.

The Red Candle services which have
been given for the past two weeks at
the regular Friday night watch service
have been introductory to the series.

The first forma! Christmas program
is marked by the presentation of the
“Messiah” by the College Choral So-
ciety on the Sunday afternoon just be-
fore the holidays begin.
“Messiah” promises to surpass those
of past years. There is to be a larger
chorus and one more tenor has been
addedd to the cast.
ists will be: Miss Mary Buttrick, so-
prano; Miss Helen G. Mansfield, con-
tralto; Mr. Vaughan Ozmer, tenor; Mr.
Walter Herbert, bass, and Mr. C. W.
Dieckmann, organist.

On the evening of this same Sunday
the White Christmas, interest in which
has grown with the years, will be
given. It is a very impressive cere-
mony. The chapel darkened, except
for the candles in the windows, the
stage set in white with.a background
of snow-sprinkled trees, a procession
of girls dressed in white, the faint
strains of yuletide music—all con-
tribute to a program of great beauty.
As is customary, the President of Stu-
dent Government will read a Christ-
mas story. For this year, Elinore Mor-
gan will read “Why the Chimes Rang.”

Following these are two other
features adding to the Christmas
spirit. One, the play, “Weihnacht Am
Heidenstein,” to be given on Monday
night, December 17, is an addition to
the series of services. Under the di-
rection of Dr. De Jonge, it is being
eagerly anticipated. It will be given
in German with brief English explan-
ations.

Then, several hours after the pres-
entation of the German play, about
10:30, the French Club will carol the
eampus. And on the next morning,
the day we leave, the Glee Club will
contribute its share in a serenade
about 5:30 o’clock. The night, cold,
the sky bright with a wondrous light,
sweet voices singing “Hail to the New-
Born King.” Then, dreams. Awakened,
in a misty morning, the stars dim, to
“Noel.” The Christmas spirit, a glor-
ious thing!

Dr. Porohoushikor
Speaks to Interna-
tional Relations Club

This year’s

The assisting art-

Discusses Soviet Rule.

The International Relations Club
met Thursday, December 6, in the
Mnemosthenean Hall. The club was
very fortunate in having Dr. Pierre
Porohoushikor as the speaker of the
evening. Dr. Porohoushikor, who is a
former state councillor of Russia, and
at present an honorary member of the
faculty of Emory University, spoke on
modern Russia. He brought out the
methods and results of the Soviet rule,
giving a clear and enlightening de-
scription of his own experiences. After
this interesting talk, refreshments
were served by members of the club.

THE STARS AND SERVICE

Over nineteen hundred years ago wise men saw a very bright
star in the east that seemed to call unto them to follow. They did,
and were led to where the young child, Christ Jesus, lay. Through-
out of the many centuries that have followed, the stars have con-
tinued to point the way to many who would live lives as followers
of Christ, lives filled with the ideal of service. And today we find,
if we would only stop to realize it, that those same stars are still
pointing the way to all who will follow. At Christmas time
especially we should remember this more than at any other time.
At other seasons we may speak in a less vivid reality. These mes-
sengers which ply the way from the infinite to man’s intelligence
should be given more recognition now than ever before.

But is this happening? Everything in the world today is be-
coming so commercialized that these messengers are given a poor
chance to be heard. Christmas seems more a matter of shopping
than of giving. The true ideal of giving and of service that was
set forth by Christ seems to have been forgotten. We find that
frantic rushing in order to get enough presents for Christmas
and the fear that we may not have something for someone who
may give us one characterizes the Christmas spirit. We never
stop to look at the stars and let them point the way to us. There
is the feeling that angels and stars are the language of another
day. They were necessary of old when the prophets had to depend
on them for guidance, but today we do not need them with our
advanced civilization and new inventions. And yet no language
once spoken by the man is dead, not even though we have com-
pletely forgotten and abandoned it. This language is the herald
of service, today just as it was years ago and will lead us to “where
the young child is” just as safely as it did then.

And we need this leading today more than ever before. Many
are observing the trend of modern ideas and ideals and are won-
dering what can be done. William Frederick Bigelow says our
moral today are in flux. “The old calls are losing their hold. There
is small chance that youth can be brought back to the standards
of the past.” And yet, the same standards that we are apt to
ridicule are essential. The complexity of our modern civilization
makes standards, morals and the like more necessary as guides to
conduct than they ever were. It is essential that we have these
in order to have progress. Commercial motives, especially in cur-
rent literature and the theater, lead to a complete overlooking
of these standards that are fundamental.

What can be done about this? The message that the stars
would give us is one especially of service. By this we mean a
putting aside of self and its wants and devoting more time to
the good of the whole. This is the true ideal of service, the ideal
that comes when we follow the stars. Christmas considered in
this light as a time for greater service will mean more to us than
we ever imagined possible. i

A service for others and a service given cheerfully. We must
be willing to help, to be glad and thus cheer others. Leigh Hunt
has said, “fail not to call to mind on the twenty-fifth of this month
that the divinest heart that ever walked the earth was born on
that day and then smile, for mirth is also of Heaven’s making.”
The broad and friendly smile along with a warm handclasp does
much to make Christmas a more enjoyable time for all. And thus
the stars will still lead the way. Grace Noel Crowell expresses this
thought in a Christmas poem:

“Faith or fancy—call it as you will—
The stars at Christmas guide me to Him still.”

THE AGONISTIC

Beaux Arts

As Christmas draws nearer and
nearer, we unconsciously put on our
holiday minds; but sometimes we have
buried them so deeply in biology and
Latin that we can’t quite adjust them
to the things that other people are
talking about. It is very easy to make
small talk for a few minutes, but when
others begin to talk of the latest books
they have read, we, or at least some
of us, feel at a loss. Then too there
are many of our friends who like books
who would particularly appreciate our
Christmas gift if it happened to be a
certain book they had been wanting
to read and to own. For both selfish
and unselfish reasons then, we really

Shirley MePhaul}.jould know something of the new

books.

Rafael Sabatini has a thrilling new
novel, “The Hounds of God,” which is
a story of England and Spain at the
time of the Armada. A young Span-
ish grandee escapes drowning when
his galleon founders in the storm.
Finding himself at the mercy of his
enemies, he willingly becomes the cap-
tive of Lady Margaret, daughter of
the Earl of Garth. He falls in love
with her, but she refuses him for the
love of an Englishman, Gervase. His
ransom comes and with it the day
when he must go back to Spain. But
while he is saying good bye to her on
the beach, he signals to his men, who
make Margaret their prisoner. Re-
morseful, but still determined to per-
suade her to marry him, he carries her
off to Spain, and there to her horror
he sees her taken from him by the
Inquisition. Meanwhile Gervase comes
to Spain, and beards King Philip and
his nobles, attempting to rescue his
lady from the “Hounds of God.”

For those interested in, or who want
to know more of, Mussolini, he has
written an autobiography, which is
really the biography of the Fascist
idea—which is, of course, Mussolini.
The story of Fascist growth and ad-
venture is informing and exciting. It
cannot be called history, for it is ex-
clusively Mussolini’s version, but it
rings with sincerity.

Few of us don’t like Norwegian
literature. Perhaps it is because it
seems chiefly concerned with a life
that is at the opposite pole; or per-
haps because it deals with remote
countryside and simple people, who
seem to have more profound personal
problems (maybe because they have
time for them) than we in our hustle
and bustle. “The New Temple,” by
Johan Bojer is a quiet book, and its
effects are more lasting for that
reason. It tells the story of a normal
and attractive young man, winning his
way out of intellectual and spiritual
discontent, to a workable philosophy
and religion, upon which he can live
his life happily.

Those who love poetry must not
forget Carl Sandburg’s “Good Morn-
ing, America,” and Edna St. Vincent
Millay’s “The Buck in the Snow.” Dr.
Canby says of her: “Miss Millay has
reached an almost legendary fame as
the poet of youth in revolt against
convention and as a maker of lyrics
so fresh and pointed that they have
already passed into the literature of
quotation. These poems are poems of
adjustment, struggling into a new
mood. She is still a young woman but
her candle that once burned at both
ends now begins to hide and conserve
its flame.”

There are so many more, but please
don’t forget the older new books:
Hugh Walpole’s “Wintersmoon,” and
Edith Wharton’s “The Children,” and
Rachel Annaud Taylor’s “Leonardo the
Florentine,” and Eugene O‘Neill’s
“Strange Interlude” and—we would
never have enough of them. If you
haven’t read all these, do; you will like
them.

If you want to show your friend that
you have a taste for good bindings as
well as for good poetry, give her
Elinor Wylie’s new volume, Trivial
Breath. Its gay striped cover is redo-
lent with the Christmas spirit. Its
content cannot be summarized so
briefly. Suffice it to say that the book
contains some lyrics which are for im-
mortal literature. Several of them won
first prize in the Poetry magazine’s
contest. There is in the book an
emotional restraint and a depth of fine
intellect which are too rarely found in
twentieth century poetry a word
should be said, too, of the complexity
of meter and the extreme originality
of rime which color the book. Surely
“Trivial Breath” is a valuable ad-
dition to your Christmas list.

“Gimme”

This from Mercer’s Open Forum is
interesting: :
Editor of The Cluster:

I think that possibly the most uni-
versal campus statement is, “Gimme
credit,” which means anything from,
“Regardless of what I know I need the
hours,” to, “Just so I get something
with little effort.” What a bunch of
individualists are students! Regardless
of everything they want to reap a con-
crete return. That in itself is a fair
motive, but what does it cost someone
else for each of us to get all that’s
coming—or do any of us care? The
general consensus of opinion is that
we do not care.

The student knows what he has to
make; what he has done and can do.
He knows what residuum remains that
is uncalled-for on exam. What I do?
I shan’t remark. He does this: “I
know more than the man gives me
credit for and therefore am conscien-
tious in saying that; I know a passing
grades worth.

“The professor knows nothing of my
mental reactions and therefore he is
callous enough to conclude that a mere
paper done in a minimum time under
a given plan, including specific ques-
tions. If I hedge on the exam I will
not be getting something for nothing,
taking the course as a whole, but I
will be getting the grades required to
pass the whole course. I may not have
known this but I do know that. He
stressed that but couldn’t include it in
a test. Therefore I am justified in de-
fending my grade which is arbitrary
to say the least.” Have you had that
reaction? I have.

Again what has that to do with hon-
esty? Here ‘tis. It won’t pay me to
be honest as long as the professor
stays in that dark age of assigning
grades by the questions that he fan-
cies. I can’t afford to flunk a course,
due to the fact I have some pride about
my work. My knowledge means
nothing to a prof. as he is teaching
and cares litlte for the student. Sub-
ject — student___Professor_._Subject,
Student—Grade. Can’t we get them
to work in unison? Until we do there
will be dishonesty sanctioned by self
—justification. The conclusion is—
Can you conscientiously justify your-
self and are you a compecent, unbiased
judge of what is justifiable. If so—be
honest honesty.—J. R. B.

From the Air

Heidelberg College—The football
which was used in the game with
Hiram at Heidelberg College last week
was dropped from an airplane, to start
the game.

Kenneth Ebel, former Heidelberg
student, entertained the crowd before
the game with stunt flying and then
dropped the ball to the field when it
was time for the game to’start.

The wind was strong and the ball
struck the fence when released and
bounced out of the field. It was re-
covered and the game started.

Oxford Revolt

Oxford, England——A thousand stu-
dents, revolting against what they
claimed was unusually strict enforce-
ment of university rules, stormed the
proctor’s building last week.

Windows were broken and _tele-
phones disconnected. Fire engines
were summoned, but the municipal
police stood by without interfering.
The Proctors at Oxford have wide ad-
ministrative authority and are respon-
sible for discipline. College authori-
ties are searching for the ringleaders.

Black Supremacy

There is no comfort for the believer
in white supremacy in the latest report
from Indiana, the citadel of klanhood.
Kappa Alpha Psi, a negro fraternity
at the University of Indiana, ranks
highest in the report of fraternity and
group grades at the University.

Harvard Will Split up Into Small
Colleges

Harvard University has accepted a
$3,000,000 gift for the purpose of split-
ting Harvard up into small colleges of
three hundred each, after the manner
of Oxford and Cambridge, though
adapted properly to American condi-
tions. This will extend the recent de-
velopments under which Freshmen live
by themselves and upper classmen are
more on their own, freed from lec-
{tures and in closer touch with the
professors. When through the McKay
bequest, the effort was made to tie the
Institute of Technology to Harvard,
President Eliot hoped that Tufts and
other nearby Institutions would move
to Cambridge to be under the wing of
the university without losing their
identities as separate colleges. This
experiment is a radical departure, but
an interesting example of the way one

Girls Have Siesta

Sleep in the form of an afternoon
siesta is an important item of the col-
lege girl’s curriculum, according to
Stephens college officials. Each after-
noon from 1 to 2 o’clock 600 Stephens
girl students sleep. The law has an
effect of appreciable scholastic im-
provement, members of the faculty re-

AChristmas Message

Dear Ann:

Aren’t you thrilled to death over
Christmas? Only 14 days more! My,
I was worried over getting my shop-
ping done until I happened to go in
“THE HAT BOX” and I found so
many things.

The darlingest little knitted bags
called “Tees” to slip your shoes in
when you travel—I got some for Ruth,
you know she is always going some-
where. And I found a most attractive
door knocker for Jane and Polly. And
there are pillows of all kinds, organdy,
taffeta, and oilcloth. Their boxes com-
bined, nests of boxes for your dresser
drawers, make-up boxes too, all in
pretty colors. Handkerchiefs — my
dear, all kinds!

I knew how thrilled Mary was over
her new house and how interested she
was in learning to cook and I could
hardly decide whether to give her a
recipe file in green to match her
kitchen, or a refrigerator bottle, or a
gorgeous modernistic hot plate tile—or
one of those new grapefruit corers
that are such joys.

There are numerous things for the
“kids.” I finally decided to give
Katherine some book plates and Betty
some doll furniture.

Goodness, I didn’t realize I was writ-
ing all this about this shop—you
would think I was being paid for it!

Anyway, go and see for yourself and
|} you will understand why I am so en-
thusiastic.

Love,
Babs.

P. S—There is a_ Circulating
Library in this shop—all the latest
fiction. I am giving two of my friends |
a year’s membership.

Current Events

The roar of “Hoch! Hoch! Hoch!”
and the rattle of handclaps welcomed
Dr. Stresemann, the German Lloyd
George, on his return to the Reichstag
after a seven months illness. He is
the great German Foreign Minister
who has held office while eight cab-
inets have fallen and whose illness has
been of such vital interest to Europe
for the past half year. Last week on
the resumption of his active command
at the Foreign Office, Dr. Stresemann
made a general declaration of policy,
keynoting on: Limitation of Arm-
aments, Revision of Reparations, and
Evacuation of the Rhineland. With re-
gard to limitation of armaments he
voiced the traditional desire of Repub-
lican Germany for general limtiation.
He indicated that this was the only
possible policy for a nation which the
powers had disarmed. Stresemann
urged the principle on which the U. S.
has made debt settlements with France
and Italy—“capacity to pay”’—as a
principle to guide the Reparations
Revision Commission. On the sore
point of evacuation of the Rhine, Dr.
Stresemann rose to his climax: “‘Ger-
many stands unshaken on her claim to
a speedy evacuation of the entire oc-
cupied territory.”

Dr. Julin Mariu, the new peasant
Prime Minister, took characteristic ac-
tion last week. He dismissed the 12,-
000 notorious secret police who won
so many elections for the house of
Bratiano by terroristic methods. He
dismissed to their homes all youths
who had come up for compulsory mili-
tary training in 1926. He ended the
“state of siege’ and ‘martial law”
which has been maintained in a 35-
mile ring of Rumanian territory en-
circling the country just inside the
frontier. He has established a new 10-
mile zone of “martial law” along the
Russo-Rumanian frontier since most
Rumanians fear attack by the Bol-
shevist “red army.” He also assured
newspaper correspondents of the free-
dom of the press and the lifting of the
stifling Bratiano censorship.

Old ‘Agonistics
Furnish Amusement

Many Items of Interest Are
Found.

Not since attending the Sophomore
Follies of 1903 have we indulged in so
much merriment as we did in reading
a number of Agonistics dating from
1916, which Polly Stone resurrected
lately. We are printing here some of
the most interesting and amusing ex-

cerpts.

Social life in the gay ’teens had
many forms. We read of a St.
Patrick’s party at which “the guests
assembled in Miss Moore’s room,
which was decorated in peach blos-
soms, and sewed for some time.”

One of the literary societies (we
can’t spell it) gave on Thanksgiving a
Pilgrim party, which according A the
paper was “rich, rare, and racy.”

One Hottentot entertained at a soup
party, where “soup was served en
masse and en plate.”

The cinnamon toast party, an ac-
count of which we print, must have
been a giddy affair:

“CINNAMON TOAST” PARTY

Saturday night, after lights, Miss
Georgianna White entertained a few
Seniors at a most delightful “cinnamon
toast” party, at her home on the
third floor of Rebekah. The room was
beautifully decorated in pennants,
sofa-cushions, pictures, bureaus, beds,
and table. The entertainment was
most highly enjoyed both by those
present and those along that corridor
who were entertained far into the
night hours by the laughing and chat-
ting.

Also the sausage party:

“Last Wednesday night V. Y. White
entertained Miss Willie Young and
Miss Flenniken at a delightful sausage
party. The room was festive with flow-
ers and sausages, which were later dis-
posed of. The party, while informal,
was one of the most enjoyable of the
week.”

But the social function we would
like most to have attended is the
Hoase party where one of the features
of the evening was Mr. Stukes, “who
wore a little gingham apron and acted
as a perfect lady should.”

Mr. Stukes seems to have been ex-

this:
Agonistic Office Boy Has

Narrow Escape!

Starr Comes Near Lostnc I's Prize
Paper Fotper!

Have you heard about what most
happened to our office boy—Mr.
Stukes by name—and how near the
staff came to losing their star mem-
ber? Well, it happened in this wise:
Alighting from the regular old un-
offending Decatur car, he was making
his way, as per schedule, across the
street, when suddenly there bore down
upon him a monstrous automobile,
sereeching at the top of its Klaxon,
and flying (he confidently asserted) at
50 per. He hastily retreated toward
the deserted car, but this in the mean-
while, had put on speed—so much so
that his hat, which arrived a little be-
fore he did, was completely annihi-
lated under the wheels. Mr. Stukes
so narrowly escaped collision that he
was thrown to the ground by the im-
pact, and sans collar, sans chapeau, al-
most sans nose, was obliged to retire
into the Piedmont and command an
expedition into the haberdasher’s be-
fore reappearing to the public gaze, We
congratulate Mr. Stukes on his escape,
and ourselves on not having a Dead
Earnest on our hands.

Nor was Mr. Stukes the only one:

No moon. Suppressed whispers.
Hurrying figures file over the campus.
What’s on foot? Why don’t you re-
member that a year ago last Wed-
nesday night Emma Pope Moss plight-
ed her faith with Mr. Dieckmann by
the “Red, red rose of love?” And do
you suppose the loyal Agnes Scott
girls could forget the date?

Inman’s Comb Brigade softly play-
ing the wedding march slipped out at
the ringing of the bells, and was
joined by the girls from the other
buildings. Up to East Lawn this
mysterious throng stole, and, grouped
under the side window, poured forth
oceans of mellow melody.

Mr. Dieckmann, to satisfy the curi-
osity as to “I Wonder Who’s Kissing
Her Now,” “Beneath the Sheltesing
Palms,” threw open the window
shutters, and we beheld the Psofessor
himself in the act, with an old um-
brella Dr. Armistead lent, as a sub-
stitute for the “palm.” At the sug-
gestion of “Darling, I Am Growing
Old,’”’ Mr. Dieckmann looked very sad.
Four tears yleamed in the rays of the
solitary flashlight, and immediately

THE AGONISTIC

the “Picked Over” quartette began
their merry ditty, “One, Two, Three,

OUR SENTIMENTS
I don’t want to go to Vassar,

Four,” which caused our hero to forget , I don’t want to go to Smith,

his sadness in the agony of near har-
mony.

Mrs. Dieckmann stilled the cry for a
speech, by hoping for us all the same
good fortune she has had in securing
a husband.

Athletics were in their infancy. We
read that the hockey game (the first
ever played here) was called off “be-
cause the hockey sticks have not ar-
rived.” A swimming meet was post-
poned “on account of inability to get
the Decatur pool for the events.” Any
further information on this subject,
and especially regarding the two
teams which played under the fetching
titles of the Purples and the Whites,
can probably be given by Miss Wil-
burn. We read that she made forward
on the Varsity basketball team and re-
ceived her letter.

The Agonistic seems to have run a
sort of Marie-Rose column headed
“Clario La Mour,” whose subject mat-
ter ranged from love to lessons. In
heartfelt sympathy we print the fol-
lowing:

My Dear Miss Clario:

I am an editor of the Agonistic. I
have 1009 words to write every week
and never any news to tell nor any-
thing to say. What must I do?

Yours earnestly,
“The First Woman.”
My Dear “First Woman”:

Don’t worry so. It is of very little
consequence what you write for very
few people will read it, and those who
do, do not care whether you say any-
thing or not.

This notice regarding the swimming
pool is enough to send anyone into
hysterics:

The swimming pool was filled and
opened to the students this past week.
As yet, no one has ventured into its
icy depths but the weather will soon
moderate enough to make a swim en-
joyable.

The same regulations in regard to
the pool still hold. It must be signed
up for and may be kept only half an
hour at a time. Only four girls are
allowed in the pool at the same time,
and the girls are asked not to turn any
water into the pool.

Here is an example of the poetic
ability of the period. The sentiments,
if not the meter, rings true:

If you have an accomplisment which

for coaxing.

Be loyal to all friends. The tongue
is a spiteful weapon, and will gain you
many enemies if not properly guarded.

Don’t be selfish with your men

who will not introduce another girl to
a young man if she can possibly avoid
it. She also does eevrything in her
power to keep the attention of all the
available young men at any social
gathering.—Exchange.

We have saved for a climax the fol-
lowing:

EVOLUTION OF THE TART

Dr. Sweet, when she went to the
drug store in Decatur to inquire for
the tickets for the Faculty play, was
informed that they had already been
called for by Mr. Dough-nut of A. S. C.

These papers will be on the ex-
change shelt in the library for the
convenience of those who care to look
at them.

The newest Christmas carol is
called “I Can’t Give You Anything But
Love, Baby.”

Also the poker song, “Let Me Call
You, Sweetheart.”

Then there’s the man who lived in
Edinburgh who, when at death’s door,
would not give up the ghost.

And the Seotchman who gave his
wife a set of paper plates and an
eraser.

Carolyn: “Polly’s your

Estelle: “Yeah! we sleep together.”

“Yeh, if tha static ain’t too bad.”

Ole Hot: That saxophone player is
certainly handsome, isn’t he?

Lil’ Darlin’: “I wish he’d blow some
my way.”

Fun is like insurance; the older you
get the most it costs you.

Miss Howson: “Can you name a star
with a tail?”

Jean: “Yes. Rin Tin Tin.”

A suggestion: That an entrance
exam be given to all Freshmen to de-
termine in what State Institution they
belong.

Any sap can find the pearl in an
oyster but it takes a smart girl to
get a diamond out of a nut.

Term papers, tests, book reports,
parallel reading, piling up and piling
up and piling up and so far, far into
the very week before the holidays!
Why, oh, why do we always put off
everything ’til the last minute? We
never fail to in this case, and the week
before Christmas vacation is always
the most hectic of all. “Verily, verily,”
quoth one of our intelligentzia(?) sis-
ters, “procrastination is a thief of
time.” And right now the mean old
thing is stealing away from us all
those delightful hours of shopping,
looking, and longing for in all the
various byways and hedges of our
nearby metropolis, Atlanta.

But some of us don’t seem to heed
the call of weeks-behind work and go
gaily onward, leading the social life
of those who haven’t a care in the
world. More power to you, friends,
and Merry Christmas, Happy New

Year, and joyous yuletide greetings to

everybody!
P, S—This time next week—oh,
that will be joyful!

Views and Interviews

Of course it would be nice to be
original and all that and write on some
new subject, because everyone else is
writing on Christmas now, also, but
then there really isn’t anything else
right this time that pleases everybody.
Flu seems to be very prominent right
at present, but it certainly isn’t a
pleasant subject, so it seems best to
“let sleeping dogs lie.” It’s hard to
let these particular dogs lie, and
especially in connection with Christ-
mas, for they seem to be playing a
very vital part in the health and hap-
piness of this Christmas. Of course
flu is terirble, and we all know the
perils of flu and the dangers of dis-
ease, and the other various and sundry
hackneyed expressions that are em-
ployed when one speaks of ills and ail-
ments, but is that any reason why
everyone should go around with a face
ten feet long, comparatively speaking,
because they’re afraid they’ll die, or
with insane little grins of delight at
the prospect of going home because
they are ill? This is rapidly turning
into a “fluey” affair, though, so let
that be.

Even though there be several chairs
upturned, beds unmade, closets gap-
pingly open, there is sure to be some-
where in every room some symbol of
the coming holidays. Everyone has
the spirit. Everyone is walking around
on tiptoes. Many and varied are the
decorations in the halls and on the
doors, and in the windows, Wreaths
seem to be the most popular form of
decoration. Surely the dime stores in
Decatur are stripped. The ingenuity
of old Aggie is certainly shown to an
advantage, for never was there such
an array of different combinations of
bells, wreaths, red tinsel and_ silver.
Possibly if there weren’t so many sick
the number of decorations would be
greater, but surely the limit has been
reached in variety. Everyone is bub-
bling over with joy at the prospect of

going home, and the idea of Christmas.

“Everywhere, everywhere, Christmas
tonight!

Christmas in lands of the fir-tree and
pine,

Christmas in lands of the palm-tree
and yine,

Christmas where snow peaks stand
solemn and white,

Christmas where cornfields
sunny and bright.

Christmas where children are hopeful
and gay,

Christmas where old men are patient
and gray,

Christmas where peace, like a dove in
his flight,

Broods o’er brave men in the thick of
the fight;

Everywhere,
tonight!

stand

everywhere, Christmas

For the Christ-child who comes is the
Master of all;
No palace too great, no cottage too
small.”

GIDBIE
GOSa VP

Oh, Giddy darling,

I’m so up in the clouds, or the North
Pole, I s’pose it really is, I haven’t
sense enough to write you anything
intelligent. It’s just “three more days
*til vacation,” at least according to the
right way that Belle Ward and I
count. Giddy, I really just can’t wait
any longer. I want to scream and
yell and shout and sing at the break-
fast table, and buy holly and hang up
Christmas bells and sing all the
hymns.

Dit Quarles’ tea the other night just
did my heart good. More Christmas
vacations than an ordinary self-re-
specting tree would ever hope for.
I was inspired to recite “It Was the
Night Before Christmas,” (Yes, I know
every bit of it), but Baby Sara forcibly
restrained me. I do wish Mildred Mc-
Calip hadn’t gone home; she had more
C. S. than most anybody on the cam-
pus. Isn’t it dreadful about so many
people having flu? I wonder when
they’ll ever get their Christmas shop-
ping done, I hope, Giddy, that you
read about Ella Cinder’s little brother
in the funny paper last Sunday and
took it all to heart, and that you won’t
forget to fill an orphan’s stocking and
won't fuss about giving up your Sat-
urday’s grape-nut ice-cream.

Really, everybody’s so worried over
money to buy Christmas presents,
they’ve almost forgotten the cam-
paign.

I have heard, Giddy dear, that
Marguerite is not so interested in
France as she was formerly. Gossip
(with which you should have nothing
to do—!) reports that she was at the
Biltmore dinner-dance the other night
with a very American young man
(that specification, as you will realize,
means he was quite attractive).

Mary Bryant Webb was there the
same night with her Bo (don’t be
plebian, Giddy, I was not trying to
make a pun). I think that’s quite a
flourishing affair. He’d better watch
out tho’—I hear he has strong compe-
tition. Semebody busted out the glass
of Elliot’s show case the other night
and snitched that lovely tinted picture
of her. Maybe he just wanted it to
give as a Christmas present (you
shouldn’t be so Scotch with your
photographs, Mary Webb, as to force
innocent young men to such recour-
ses!)

Have you seen that picture of Nell
Starr at Elliot’s, Giddy? It really
would make a lovely gift, purely for
decorative purposes. When I told her
how pretty it was, she just sighed and
said, “Oh, if you want to see some-
thing beautiful, come up to my room.”
Of course I went. It was a more than
life-sized picture of her love.

She, like most of the other people
around here, is in a frenzy over “suit-
able gifts for the young man at Christ-
mas.” I have very helpfully suggested
everything from corn plasters to
Liberty bonds and receive only looks
of disgust. “Do you think such com-
monpiace things would do for Gayle?”
shrieked Virge Cameron,” “For Don?”
echoed Aileen, “For Hal?” gasped
Nancy Fitzgerald, “For Charles?”
from Dorothy Cheek. I don’t know
who else spoke. I stopped listening
then and ran, feeling very much like
Santa Claus and “I heard him exclaim
ere he drove out of sight.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a
good night.” (Doesn’t that just send
thrills up your back like, “We’re all

I'll have to stop and run around the
hockey field, darling, so I can calm
down enough to study some Anglo.
And I must finish, so I can go to

loveliest service, Giddy, and makes you
feel so happy inside.

Christmas Program Given.

On Monday, December 10, the
French Department entertained the
members of the French Club at a tea.
Misses Elizabeth Cheatham and Per-
nette Adams sang a duet in French
and Mrs. McKee of Atlanta gave a
talk describing the Christmas of
French children. <A delightful social
hour followed the serving of refresh-
ments. The singing of French carols
which was to have taken place Mon-
day night was abandoned on account
of the advancement of holidays.

The special chorus of the Glee Club
entertained the Lions’ Club at their
special Ladies’ Day luncheon, Decem-
ber 11, at the Henry Grady Hotel. Mrs.
Sidell, of the Georgian, gave a very in
teresting talk on woman’s dress.
Carolyn Payne, dressed in a charming
gown of her grandmother’s day, rep-
resented a coy young miss of fifty
years ago. Kathleen Bowen, in a gown
by Worth, was a beautiful Gibson girl.
Jean Lamont aptly represented the
modern college girl.

Dr. McCain Receives
Letter From Vassar

Extended Invitation to Be
Guest of College.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Dec. 8, 1928.
Mr. Dear President McCain:

It would give us great pleasure if
you happen to be in the north on De-
cember 15 and can be the guest of
Vassar at the time your students come
up for the debate.

We look forward to the event with
much interest in the hope that it may
revive debating in our general student
body, which has been languid of late.
A few defeats by worthy teams as met
and vanquished them last winter would
be the best thing in the world to re-
vive interest at Vassar.

Sincerely yours,
H. N. MacCracken.

Carolyn Essig
Entertains for
Maurine Bledsoe

Carolyn Essig entertained with a
lovely bridge party on Tuesday night,
December the fourth. Maurine Bled-
soe, of Asheville, N. C., the guest of
Louisa White, of Atlanta, was the
honor guest of the evening.

There were two tables of players.
Those present were: Louisa White,
Maurine Bledsoe, Helen Ridley, Mary
Ellis, Elizabeth Merritt, Marion Green,
and Dorothy Hutton. The first prize
was won by Marion Green.

K. U. B. Entertains at
Banquet

To have a partciular celebration for
the last meeting before Christmas—K.
U. B. had a formal dinner in the Tea
House on the 5th of December. Covers
were laid for sixteen and the Christ-
mas idéa was carried out in the color
scheme. Dr. Hays, who is the faculty
member of the club, was the guest of
honor.

The fashion show of the Seniors was
quite an added attraction, while the
radio which furnished “music while we
ate,” made it a gala occasion.

Editor’s Note—As the paper goes
to press we learn that these services
will of course not be given. However,
we print this article for the benefit of

being here over the week-end would
have had its compensations.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1929

NO. /&

A, S. Fiebaters
Defeat Vassar

Delightfully Entertained
During Week-End.

Agnes Scott has a new feather in its
cap, for three of her debaters, Eleanor
Lee Norris, Esther Nesbit, and
Martha Stackhouse, alternate, have
met and publicly defeated the Vassar
debaters on their own ground. Christ-
mas holiday returners saw the big
news on the bulletin board—‘Vassar
good; very cordial decision for Agnes
Scott.” The complete account of how
they went, they saw, and conquered
was told by Eleanor Lee and Martha
Stackhouse in chapel Tuesday morn-
ing.

The subject of the debate was “Re-
solved: That the publicly owned re-
Sources of the U. S. should be de-
veloped and operated by federal and
state governments,” and Agnes Scott
upheld the negative. The judges were
Norman Hapgood, Dr. Henry Mosko-
witz and Charles H. Tuttle.

After a délightful trip, the South-
ern trio were cordially and warmly
received at Poughkeepsie. Vassar has
beautiful grounds and buildings, and
our debaters decided, after being wel-
comed, dined and feted, that Northern
schools were just about as nice as
Southern ones. There were various
teas, luncheon and receptions in favor

of the visitors. Eleanor Lee and
Martha did most of the honors, how-
ever, for Esther Nesbit was sick a
great deal of the time she was there.
This did not prevent her from debat-
ing though, and she and Eleanor Lee
argued ably and well. Martha, ac-
cording to her own account, did most

port back at home.

Agnes Scott feels proud of her girls
who upheld the glory of school and
South in so splendid a fashion.

We give here excerpts from the
Vassar Miscellany News:

Busy Week-end Planned fer Agnes
Scott Girls

Although this week-end will be the |
first time that the Agnes Scott College |
debate team has visited Vassar, it is |
not the first time that the individual |
members of the team have met the|
Vassar students, for two members of
the visiting team, Esther Nesbit and
Bleanot Lee Norris, were on the com-
mittee that entertained the Vassar de-
bate team on their trip South last
spring. The alternate for their team
is Martha Stackhouse, ’31.

The judges for the debate will in-
elude Norman Hapgood, who lectured
at college during the recent presiden-
tial campaign, and who is well known
as an editor and political writer. He
is the author of books on “Daniel Web-

May Day Scenario
Is Chosen

Mr. Dieckmann to Write
Music for Production.

The May Day Committee at a meet-
ing Tuesday afternoon made its final
plans for our next May Day. The
idea to be followed was taken from
a scenario submitted by Laura Brown.
It is an elaboration of the old myth
concerning Peleas and Thytis and the
Golden Apple of Paris. Some very
lovely effects have been worked into
the story and it is believed that some-
thing entirely unique and beautiful
will be the result. Mr. Dieckmann is
to write the musie for the entire pro-
duction. There is opportunity for a
large cast and many effective dances,
the latter being different from any-
thing yet given, The committee will
announce further plans after the ex-
amination period. Selection of ‘the
cast will take place in February and
rehearsals will begin about March 15.

Morgan and Smith
Attend Student Con-
ference of } N.S. F. A.

Give Report of Conference
in Chapel.

Elinore Morgan and Dorothy Smith
were Agnes Scott’s representatives at
the fourth annual congress of the Na-
tional Student Federation of America
held at the University of Missouri,
Columbia, Mo., December 12th through
15th.

Each representative gave an echo
of her impression of the conference
last Tuesday morning at chapel.
“Skid” Morgan gave the creed of
the N. S. F. A. as an introduction to
her talk that we might realize more
fully just what the purpose of the
conference was. “We would achieve a
spirit of co-operation among the stu-
dents of the U. S., ta give consider-
ation to questions affecting student’s
interests; we would deyelop an intelli-
gent student opinion on questions of
national and international importance;
we would foster understanding among
the students of the world in the
furtherance of an enduring peace.” She
explained that although some students
thought of this meeting merely as just
another S. G. conference, it was really
similar to student moyements in Eng-
land and Europe. Some of its main
activities are directing students to
Europe and in having entire charge of
the direction of international debating.

The subject of the eonference con-
cerned chiefly literature, politics and
education. The main interest of the
conference lay, however, in the dis-
cussion groups. |

Perey Boynton, professor of liter-
ature at the University or Chicago,
according to our delegation gave the
most interesting address of the con-
ference in his discussion of literature
when he traced the rise of American
literature from 1890. He pointed out
the fact that emerging from the Amer-
ican mind that awakened just before
the war were two important things,
namely: a new reading public and a
strong student element, not merely re-
ceptive but dynamic.

The conference decided by motion
that the N. S. F. A. would encourage
honor systems where they already
existed, and help establish them where
they did not exist.

Dorothy Smith next outlined the
social activities which she and Elinore
enjoyed during the trip.

It was decided that next year’s con-
ference would be held at Leland
Stanford University in California.

Miss Florence Snow|Dr. McCain and

Speaks to A. A. U. W.

President of Alumnae Coun-
cil Guest of College.

As-
sociation of University Women was
held last Wednesday night, January
the ninth, in the Anna Young Alumnae
House at éight-fifteen ‘clock. To this
meeting were invited members of the
A. A. U. W. of Atlanta, college alumni
in Atlanta and Decatur, and the class
graduating this year from Agnes
Scott.

Miss Florence Snow, the speaker for
the evening, was introduced by Polly
Stone. Polly gave a very amusing and
interesting introductory talk, in which
she told of Miss Snow’s election as
president of the American Alumnae
Council at their convention last year
in Minneapolis. At this time Miss
Snow, as the Alumnae Executive of
Smith College, had read a very inter-
esting paper. The audience, on Wed-
nesday evening, was fortunate enough
to hear the content of this paper as
presented by Miss Snow. The resume
of her paper was briefly as follows:

Lately there has been a scathing
series of attacks on colleges in their
failure to develop the moral, religious,
or spiritual side of the life of the
student body. For a number of years
alumnae and alumni have felt such a
slight bond of union with their alma
mater after graduation, that the force
of these blows..was felt rather lightly
by them. Recently, however, there
has been marked improvement in the
change of attitude of the alumnae.
This new feeling of responsibility, on
the part of the graduates, has made
them realize their dependence on the
undergraduates and the dependence
of the undergraduates on them. Some
serious effort, therefore, has been
made recently to prevent scathing
criticism of colleges by outsiders.

A meeting of the American

Alumnae formerly returned to col-
lege only on such festive occasions
as the days of their class reunion or
the graduation of their sister classes.
Today alumnae return to their colleges
during the session, to make observa-
tions of the daily life in these re-
spective colleges—with the purpose in
view of criticising favourably and ad-
vantageously.

Alumnae are now given an impor-
tant part in the selection of those who
are about to enter college. After
graduation, the alumnae are now
guarding against a mere casual or
careless social relation with the col-
leges from which they have been so
recently graduated.

The extensive campaigning among
the alumnae, to establish Alumnae
funds, has led to increasing contacts of
those who have left and those who
are about to go out from colleges. The
most marked work of alumnae recent-
ly has. been their “re-dedication of

things of the mind.” This may better |

Mr. Stukes Go
To Chattanooga

To Attend Meeting of As-
sociation of American
Colleges.

From Thursday through Saturday
Dr. MeCain and Mr. Stukes were in
Chattanooga at the first meeting in
the South of the Association of
American Colleges, composed of over
five hundred colleges from all over the
United States. Before this year, the
meetings had been held in Chicago or
New York. This is a joint meeting of
the Association of American colleges
with the various denominational
chureh boards of education, and the
meetings for Thursday were held to-
gether. The topics for discussion for
the two meetings Thursday were
“What Constitutes a Good College
Teacher” and “The Place of Religion
in Higher Education.” Friday and
Saturday the sessions were separate
very interesting topics being taken up,
such as “The Training of College
Teachers as Graduate Students,”
“Ways and Means of Effective Teach-
ing” “The Improvement of Instruc-
tion in Higher Institutions of Learn-
ing” and “The New College Curricu-
lum.” These discussions were headed
by most representative men, among
them men from Harvard, Birmingham
Southern, University of Chicago, Ober-
lin College, University of Minnesota,
Swarthmore and the University of
Michigan. Quite the most enjoyable
part of the whole trip was the meeting
with the Chattanooga alumnae at the
Bright School to discuss the all-ab-
sorbing topic of che day—the cam-
paign. The campus is awaiting with
interest a fuller report from Dr. Me-
Cain and Mr. Stukes.

Dr. Howard Arbuckle
Is Guest of College

Formerly Connected With
Chemistry Department
Here.

Dr. Howard Arbuckle was the guest
of the college last Sunday when he
visited his daughter. Dr. Arbuckle was
formerly connected with the chemis-
try department here and is now the
head of the chemistry department at
Davidson College. He was returning
to Davidson from El] Paso, Texas,
where he attended the Pi Kappa Alpha
fraternity convention at which he was
grand councilor.

Elinore Morgan
Honored by N.S.F.A.

Appointed Southern Region-

al Representative to
Executive Com.

Elinore Morgan was elected South-
ern Regional Representative to the

be termed a “wholesale renaissance of| pxecutiye Committee of the National

the alumnae.”

In 1918 the Committee on Aims and
Policies of the American Alumnae
Council met, to determine just what
should be the trend of the Alumnae
work. This committee decided that

there were two main issues to the |

after-graduation problem. In the first! the recognition of the ability of our

place, there is the responsibility of
education after college. In the second

Columbia, Missouri. This position
conferred upon our Studnet Govern-

for Agnes Scott and for Elinore and

student representatives,

place, there is the problem of how the GLEE CLUB IS EN-

alumnae can help in this after-gradua-
tion education.

The alumnae are primarily con-
cerned with the cure of existent evils,
rather than with the prevention of the
non-existent. The council is to teach
that education is the goal toward
which men reach, Their appeal is for
“veally educated alumnae.”

TERTAINED BY MR.

The Glee Club was delightfully en-
tertained in the club room at an in-
fromal tea Wednesday night by Mr.

refreshments were served.

Cecil Roberts to
Lecture Feb. 4
Brilliant English Dramatist

and Novelist Brought
by Association.

On February 4, at 8:30 P. M., Cecil
Roberts, one of England’s most bril-
liant dramatists and novelists, will
speak in the Bucher Scott Gymnasium,
taking as the subject for his lecture
“What Europe Is Thinking.”

No lecturer in recent years has at-
tracted more favorable attention than
this remarkable young Englishman,
whose novels have placed him in the
front rank of living British authors.
Just over thirty years of age, he is
widely known on both sides of the At-
lantic and in the United States he has
made a great reputation as a_ bril-
liant extempore speaker. He came to
this country first on the recommenda-
tion of Sir Philip Gibbs. Wherever
he spoke he delighted his audiences
by his versatile and sparkling im-
promptu style. He has lectured be-
fore all the leading universities, in-
cluding Harvard, Columbia, Princeton,
Chicago, Vassar College, Bryn Mawr,
and others.

Mr. Roberts’ achievements make a
long list. Briefly, after serving as an
official war correspondent with the
Grand Fleet and the British Armies,
he was Director of Overseas Transport
in the War Ministry. This was. fol-
lowed by five years’ editorship of the
Nottingham Journal, when he was the
youngest editor of England’s oldest
daily newspaper.

Among his novels are “Scissors,”
“Sails of Sunset,” “The Love Mar-
riage,” “Sagusto,” and “David and
Diana.” His plays include “A Tale of
Young Lovers,” and “The Right to
Kiss.”

This year Mr. Roberts has been in
Yugo-Slavia in connection with the
filming of his novel, “Sagusto,” and
he took this opportunity to make a
personal study of political conditions
in the Balkan States, together with
a survey on the Tyrol, and the Italian
oecupation, which form the basis of the
material for his lecture on February 4.

There can be few men who know
Burope better than Cecil Roberts. A
fellow of the Royal Geographical So-
ciety, he has traveled extensively as a
special correspondent for the press,
and also as a novelist in search of
color and material. After lecturing
on European politics last year he so
impressed those who heard him that
he was invited by President Coolidge
to the White House. On his retutn
to England, he was consulted by the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, and it
may be added, there are few of the
leading politicians of Europe with
whom Mr. Roberts has not conferred
in the course of his investigations.
This lecture briefly reviews the chief
problems that confront Europe today,
and their bearing upon American rela-
tions.

Movie Breaks Monot-
ony of Quarantine

“The Crimson City” Shown
in Gymnasium.

For the first time in the history of
the college a moving picture was
shown in the Gymnasium. This came
as a pleasing break in the monotony of
the quarantine which has prevented
us from attending the theatres in At-
lanta and Decatur. The picture shown
was “The Crimson City,” a thrilling
melodrama of life in Singapore. We
are indebted to Mr. Robinson for mak-
ing possible an entertaining evening.

After the performance, there was
an impromptu dance.

EDITORIAL
“A THING OF BEAUTY IS A JOY FOREVER”

In this the least lovely and the loveliest of all seasons, the
season when summer has gone past all recall, when spring has not
yet come upon the earth, when boughs are bare, when birds cease
twittering, when days are dull and skies sunless and grey, when
wintry winds whistle through trembling trees, we need to search
for things of beauty, for now the world looks dismal to us—though
it should not. If we but knew—each wailing gust of wind we think
so harsh is bringing to us tidings of some fair foreign land it has
just visited, of snowy mountains it has kissed, of placid waters it
has ruffled. Let us let our minds wander with the breeze. Let
us see, too, old hoary trees dripping with Spanish moss, let us see
sunny fields filled with white daisies, let us see peasants going
market-ward, let us see water sparkling in the sunlight, let us see
bees that hover over flowers and butterflies that hover over bees.
And you who seek things even more ethereal than the beauties of
this transient earth, go seek a beautiful conceptions, an ideal that
you can cherish always. When worries worry, let us all seek peace
and consolation in beauty, whether it be a beauty imagined or a
beauty seen. When everything seems wrong, beauty will teach us
truth.

Without beauty, we are lost, for without a beautiful concep-
tion of life, without a beautiful principle of living, without a
beautiful surrounding, we can neyer be completely happy or con-
tent. Surely we would be happy, surely we should be happy, sure-
ly we could be happy—if we but tried to be. Let us all search
for beauty and find peace and consolation. The world is very
beautiful, people are very beautiful, things are very beautiful—if
we but knew. Let then the happiness in our hearts and the joy
in our faces show that we have searched for beauty and have
found it. E.

BEING GLAD

Everybody knows that little verse which ends, “but the girl
who is worthwhile, is the girl who can smile, when everything goes
dead wrong.” Now don’t misunderstand us, we jare not in any
way insinuating that everything is going dead wrong—far from
it! But we are hinting that we are worthwhile girls. We may
be having difficulties, everybody is right now, but in spite of that
we're glad. We know we're glad and that’s the reason we know
we're worthwhile. Being glad is a state which may affect every-
one differently—in fact by just looking at someone, you might
never guess she is glad. Yet way down deep inside of her, is that
happy, little tingling feeling, that’s telling her that the sun is
shining and she is really alive.

For to really be glad we must LIVE—not a mere existence, in
which the minutes drag, we think the week-end will never come,
classes never be over, and exams just one more difficulty. But a
day when every minute is a glorious adventure, when we don’t
have time to pack into the hours all the joyous existences that we
are having with ourselves.

But being glad is not necessarily only wearing a pleasant ex-
pression all the time, and being a little Pollyanna—not at all. Is
it not rather seeking for what is brightest and most beautiful in
everything? We-can’t just be glad by gritting our teeth and de-
termining that we will, but everything may be gladdened by going
into it with energy and enthusiasm—by putting our best selves
into it.

Now is a time of beginnings. We know it, and if we don’t,
everybody is telling us. So if we’re not glad, why not begin now?
Make this year a time to remember that you really began to live,
when the corners of your mouth learned to turn up permanently!

We Think

So busy is the campus in general
that there seems to be little time or
inclination for bull sessions on the
subject of the proposed—and annually
proposed, at that—change in the
Senior rings. Yet this is a thing which
should be carefully considered before
any steps are taken. It is not for just
this year that we would be making a
change, but for years to come and
years that have already passed.

There’s no use getting sentimental
over the thing, even though for those
who have possessed and loved the
present simple gold ring there is a
great deal of sentimental interest in
the outcome of the student vote. To
be very hard-headed and mercenary
about it, the first consideration should
be the cost. An additional three or
four dollars may not seem much just
in itself, but for several girls in every
Senior class it is going to be the
“little too much.” Ten or eleven dol-
lars a ring is going to mean that
some girls in every class, girls who
should have rings, are going to be
forced to do without them.

It will mean a lot to our alumnae:
our keeping or not keeping the pres-
ent ring. Inevitably they will be hurt
if their rings are in disrepute. In
fact, what will be the use of wearing
their rings, if no one after the class of
29, and possibly the other classes now
in school, recognizes what school they
represent? After all, is it or is it
not a question of keeping faith wit
our alumnae?

Lastly, if we must feel and answer
a great urge to change our rings, why
select the type used by almost every
college and university in the coun-
try, and even by some high schools?
And with the all-prevalent stone in the
middle, we would have to bear a violet
on one side and a tower of Main on
the other. Let's at least keep our
distinctive seal, and keep it in a promi-
nent place, not consigned in miniature
to an ignominious hiding.

It seems to be the way with people
that, if they cannot find one thing to
change, they must find another, And
now the time of year has come for the
college ring. To begin with, this is
not an original idea. Each year the

Junior ciass déecide definitely that the)

college ving that they are about to
acquire is not as it should be. And,
showing that the idea is still more
unoriginal, they turn to rings with
huge stones and towers of Main and
violets. This is because they feel that
the dignity of seniority which they
are about to assume should be as-
sumed with more marked objective
splendor than previous classes have
had. It is this way with all Junior
classes.

Do they stop to realize that the
quiet simplicity of the Agnes Scott
ring is its chief charm and distinc-
tion? That, among all the bejeweled
creations of almost every other col-
lege and high school, this ring stands
forth, an indication of the things that
Agnes Scott and her daughters hold
dear—strong ideals, a clear and stead-
fast*> purpose, “faith,’ and “knowl-
edge?” Don’t these things mean some-
thing to us? Is it right that we should
break faith with those who have gone
on before, by changing the concrete,
objective mark of an Agnes Scott
graduate? It might be true that, if
changed this year, the new ring
would, in a few years, become estab-
lished as the sign of the Agnes Scott
graduate. But is it fair to the thou-
sand alumnae who have gone on?

Then, too, a new ring, such as those
under consideration, would necessitate
the increase in cost from $7.50 to
$11.00. We must consider this side,
too. Agnes Scott is recognized as a
college that offers to all what it offers
to one. It is not partial to a group.
Each opportunity here rests upon in-
dividual capabilities. The try-out
method for membership in clubs is in-
dicative of this. Lack of sororities or
any exclusive social organization, is
another such indication. Is it just
that the college ring should be at such
a price that it, too, is not within the
reach of every girl? We are not all
able to pay $11.00; yet we are desery-
ing of a ring.

Think about these things. Try to
visualize what the ring will mean to
you in the years to come. Agnes Scott
is meaning a lot to you now. To wear
her ring will mean more.

A Last Year’s Junior.

Lately, there has been much agita-

a SSE

tion on the campus to change the
class rings. The would-be-changers
argue that the rings are old-fashioned
and high-schoolish. Admitted that
the rings are old-fashioned, that is no
reason to change them. Some family
coats-of-arms are rather old-fashioned
—having been handed down for several
centuries, but the families who have
them would not have them changed.
They would be insulted if anyone sug-
gested such a thing.

A ¢lass ring is, in many respects
an identification tag. If one of the
alumnae should see an Agnes Scott
girl wearing a new sort of ring she
would not even recognize her as one
of her sisters. Therefore it would be
breaking faith with the classes that
have gone before if we change the
rings. The name Agnes Scott is old-
fashioned, do we want to change it?

On Being Well-Bred

There is probably not a girl at
Agnes Scott who would not feel insult-
ed if told that she was not well-bred.
Yet how many girls show their breed-
ing in their manners ?

Is it absolutely necessary to make
the department rooms of the library
general club rooms? On certain oc-
casions the English room has _ re-
sembled nothing so much as a crowded
corner of the tea house, There are few
people whose power of concentration
is so great that they can study in the
midst of an animated conversation on

hh} the subject of the Christmas dances,

or while the girl across the table is
expressing her soul in song, or tap-
ping her pencil restlessly against the
light.

Any well-bred person would not
think of talking at the top of her
voice at her own dinner table. Her
family would probably not allow it.
But think what an outsider thinks of
the general uproar that prevails in
our dining room during each meal.
One has to hear it from the Colonnade
or from second floor Rebekah to get
the general effect. One of the worst
breaches of good manners evident in
the dining room is the noise which is
kept up during the announcements.
Surely it shows poor breeding to rattle
silver and whisper while some one is
trying to talk to the whole dining
room.

In the class room, is it considerate
to constantly interrupt the professor,
frequently without an apology? This
practice has made connected lectures
almost impossible in some classes.
There is a time and a place for ques-
tions and remarks, and that time and
place is obviously not in the midst of
the exposition of the main point of
a lecture. Nor is it polite to monopolize
the class discussion. There are other
people who have problems to present,
but they are sometimes forced to re-
main silent while one member of the
class carries on the burden of class
conversation.

Perhaps the most flagrant violations
of good manners and breeding are to
be found in the dormitories. Well-
bred people do not clump down the
hall or the stairs in flapping mules at
eleven-thirty or twelve o’clock when
the majority of people are asleep.
Neither do they come to their door and
yell for a person on another wing.
It is in the dormitories that this habit
of talking in a loud voice is seen—or
heard—at its worst. Other people are
not interested in hearing the vivid de-
tails of someone’s love affair, told to
a roommate in the wee small hour? of
the night. Personally, the writer feels

Beaux Arts

You members of Blackfriars, and
others who are interested in the thea-
tre, might be interested to know of
the new work Max Reinhardt has
started. He has entrusted Professsor
Oskar Strnad, a well known Austrian
stage architect, with the construction
of a new theatre, which is to be in the
park near his castle at Salzburg. It
is to be something in the nature of a
private stdio where Reinhardt can try
out his productions before they are
presented in his theatres in Berlin and
Vienna. The theatre will be built on
the shore of a lake, in such a position
that the lake can be used as a part of
the stage when it is so required. The
size of the stage will be adaptable to
the work being produced, It will be
possible to have horsemen gallop on
to the stage from the park, and the
lake will enable little boats to appear.
Prfoessor Strnad hopes to have the
theatre completed by next August.
One of Shakespeare’s plays will prob-
ably be chosen as the first to be pro-
duced,

When the reflective reader looks
j back over the books that have made
a stir, she will notice that they have
one quality alike—books like “My An-
tonia,” “The Constant Nymph,” “The
Bridge of San Luis Rey” are marked-
ly individual, uncommon at the time,
They uncover, suddenly, veins of hu-
man interest that nobody seems
previously to have worked, or that are
reworked with a new technique, and
are therefore fresh and pleasing.
“Joseph and His Brethren” is such a
book. Its author is H. W. Freeman,
and it is a first novel, and it reminds
me greatly of Thomas Hardy. “Joseph
and His Brethren” is more than a local
color story of Suffolk, or a study of
farm life. The five brothers and the
youngest they loved best of all, are
like a transcript from an old folk tale,
worked out as it must have happened
in reality.

When Art Young first went to New
York he saw Mark Twain, then an old
man, “walking up Fifth Avenue as if
he were trying to catch up with his
cigar.” He drew pictures of P. T.
Barnum at church; he knew the Green-
wich Village which was still the only:
place “where a woman could say
‘damn’ right out loud and still be re-
spected.” All this and more he has put
into a jolly book called “On My Way,”
a delightful hodge-podge of reminis-
cence and comment. The book is il-
lustrated with many of his own draw-
ings, old and new. ‘

Everyone is talking now about Or-

that such matters deserve a little
privacy.

All in all, do our manners—not our
company ones—show the good breed-
ing which we are proud to feel charac-
terizes Agnes Scott girls in the pub-
lic mind? It would be hard to find
a student here not guilty of at least
one of the faults listed above. No
doubt we have all noticed it, but we
are aware of the truth that it all de-
pends on the person who does a thing.
In this matter of breeding—noblesse

According to a very old saying,
“wonders never cease,” and according
to us it’s certainly the truth. To
think that Christmas has come and
gone and that it’s nineteen-twenty-
nine (alas! how many pieces of good
stationery we've already ruined by
putting in that darned little eight—
when it’s gone forver and ever?) But,
though it’s sometimes best to let by-
gones be bygones, it’s nice to think
about the dear ole past—and weren’t
the holidays just heavenly? Every-
body’s come back just positively rav-
ing—and talk about excitement
there’re just loads of new engagement
rings, not to speak of such minor
things as new diamond braselets, wrist
watches, and whole trousseaus of new
clothes.

Society must have had a good time,
too, for it’s still progressing, and right
now it’s wishing for everybody the
happiest new year they’ve ever had,

Esther Nesbit
_ Marries While
On Debating Trip

Bride Outstanding Figure in
Campus Activities.

The marriage of Esther Nesbit,
popular member of the present Senior
class, to Newton Thomas Anderson,
Jr., of Boston, Mass., formerly of At-
lanta, took place on Friday, December

28, at the First Presbyterian Chrch in
Boston.

At the time of her marriage Esther
was the guest of the groom’s sister,
Mrs. F, C. Forsbeek, of Boston, hav-
ing gone there directly from Vassar,
where she debated.

She is an outstanding figure in cam-
pus activities, having twice before rep-
resented Agnes Scott in intercollegiate
debates, with Sophie Newcombe during |
her Sophomore year, and Vassar last
fall. For two years Esther has been
president of Pi Alpha Phi, our col-
lege debating club. She was also a
member of Folio, short story club for
underclassmen. She received her ear-
lier education at North Avenue Pres-

Mr. Anderson is the son of Mr. N.
T. Anderson, of Atlanta, and the late
Mrs. Anderson. Before going to Bos-
ton a year ago, where he is a student
at the Newton Baptist Theological
School, the groom was numbered
among Atlanta’s leading young Attor-

neys. He is a graduate of Oglethorpe |
University and the Atlanta Law
School.

Choral Society
Presents “Messiah”

Artists From Decatur and At-
lanta Assist.

The Agnes Scott Choral Society
presented the oratorio, Handel’s “Mes-
siah,” Sunday afternoon, January 13,
in the college chapel. This rendition
of Handel’s best-known and most suc-

| cessful oratorio was a great treat for

all the music lovers of the community.

The assisting artists were: Mary
Buttrick, soprano; Helen Mansfield,
contralto; Vaughan Ozmer, tenor; and
Walter Herbert, bass. The choruses
were under the direction of Mr. John-
son, and Mr. Dieckmann was at the
organ.

“Any ice today, lady?”
“Yes, but I can’t decide whether I
want, lemon or orange.”

THE AGONISTIC

Giddy, oh Giddy,

Truly this is no hymn of exultation
you are receiving, and I had wanted
to tell you all about Christmas, but
being in the midst of exams doesn’t
exactly put you in the humor for
thinking about a Christmas that’s been
over hundreds and hundreds of hours.
People still say “Did you have heaps
of fun?” And I just look at them
blankly without even knowing when
they mean. And, my dear, do you
know that Sara Townsend and Helen
Anderson came back a whole day
early, got up all their books and start-
ed to their eight o’clock classes, and
couldn’t imagine where everybody else
was.

Of course we still have reminders
that there once was such a thing as
Christmas—many new fur coats, many
new pins, and many new loves (please
note those last items listed individual-
ly). You just should hear Belle Ward
talk, and Bibb (still in the same sweet
refrain of Hoteb) and Dade, my dear.
By mistake she got two fur coats and
a very lovely love. We are convinced,
tho, that it’s not the real thing with
her ‘cause she really fell for his name
(not the coat’s)—Horsie.

Among other silent reminders is
Esther Nisbet whose Christmas pres-
ent was a wedding ring; and the new
picture of Leslie. My dear, you should
just go over to Marion Green’s room
and see it—life size, and the frame
she’s buying for it costs ten dollars!
And Giddy, we have a real mystery
on our campus! She blushes perfectly

| crimson and won’t even give you a hint
|of what he gave her. I think that’s

like Esther Nisbet’s.

she couldn’t hit straight.

We have another budding romance
in our midst, too, This man saw
Eleanor Lee Norris’ picture in the
paper, and is just dying to meet her,
}and they both have a friend who can
introduce them, isn’t that exciting.
Callie Nash has a new love too (from
the Seminary) and do you know,
Giddy, they
|can’t even have a date with them til
after exams.

T have always*said exams were very
detrimental to the young college girl,
and now I am sure of it. The only
| excuse I can see for them is that they
sometimes make you get thin, and they
certainly make conversation. We all
look so pitiful, something like an

sympathize with it. And they start-
ed one poor girl on the downward

dope the other night, so she could
stay awake to study. And I may be
in the insane asylum the next time you
see me—if not I’ll be in my grave
from being scared to death.

So farewell—maybe forever.
Frenziedly and fearfully,

Aggie.

EXCEX

Studies Lose Vigor
Ithaca, N. Y¥Y.—That the health of
college students grows progressively
worse from Freshman to Senior year
is the opinion of Dr. Dean F. Smiley,

head of the department of hygiene and.

preventative medicine at Cornell Uni-
versity.

He bases this observation, he says,
on the records of thousands of Cor-
nell students who take physical ex-
aminations each year.

Each year, he says, the students
take poorer and poorer care of their
health.

The Fourth “R”
Chicago continuation schools have

added a fourth “R” to readin’, 'ritin’, |

and ’rithmetic. Rouging, or “the ar-
tistic use of cosmetics,” is the title of
the new course. Long-suffering male
observers will welcome this step. If
women must rouge, they should rouge
skilfully.—The Stanford Daily.
—Vassar Miscellany News.

The Grammatical Ain’t

“Ain't” and “It’s Me,” are good
usage, Charles Carpenter Fries, of
the University of Michigan told the
National Council
last week, “because. though they may
be traditionally bad, they form the

quickest and easiest mediums of ex-|

pressing and understanding a given
thought.”

The word “ain’t” according to Dr.
Fries, who is president of the coun-
cil, comes in for the most criticism.

Actually, he said, the word is good|

English, and is based on traditional
rule, being a contraction of “am not.”

Tt often is used incorrectly, how-
ever, he said, many times being used
in place of “They are not,” “They
ain’t,” he advised, is absolutely in-
correct. “I ain’t,’”’ he said, is correct —

Cinema at Harvard
The movies have come to Harvard.
They may be expected to play an in-
creasing part in teaching, research,
and in graduate study as the plans
of the new University Film Founda-

tion materialize. The Foundation
came into public prominence recently
with the announcement of the produc-
tion of a serious two-reel film on pres-

What Price Education?

New York Times—The total ex-
penditures for public education in the
United States in the past eighteen
years have increased 230 per cent, and
the end of this upward scale is not
in sight. Professor G. D. Strayer of
Teachers College, Columbia Univer-
sity, an authority on the financing of
education, declared in delivering the
principal address at the closing ses-
sion of the University of North Caro-
lina’s first annual Southern Confer-
ence on Education.

He contends that while the need for
educational expansion continued to be
urgent, the rapidly increasing wealth
of the country proved that education
was a highly profitable investment.

The Chemistry Club met on De-

speaker for this meeting, but Sarah
Frances Anderson and Letty Pope
gave interesting reports. There was
a rather small attendance at this meet-
ing due to the prevalance of illness.
The meeting was closed with a social.

French Club

Betty Hudson and Dit Quarles enter-
tained the French Club Jan. 7 with a

however, I’m afraid! Cara Hinman an-

The tea was delicious: and so were the
cakes (everyone ate at least four!)
and the hostesses were most dignified
as they greeted the guests in French.

During your visit we hope to gain an
idea, not only of what you think about
water-power, but also of the yiew-
point and interests of the Southern
college girl. And perhaps, besides
collecting impressions of the prev-
alence of bandannas and woolen socks,
you may also feel that you have gained
a closer understanding of the customs
and opinions which mean Vassar to

Seniors Entertain
With Party

“Trip Around the World”
Affords Amusement.

A novel opportunity was offered to
those who remained on the campus
this week-end, and who attended the
Senior Party. The affair took the
form of a “Trip Around the World”
and afforded fun, food, and instruc-
tion to all. Beginning at the good old
U. S. port of Hoboken, otherwise
known as the office of the gym de-
partment, the traveler was fitted out
for the journey with a most unique
passport. Adah Knight, in the guise
of the passport agent, was one of the
effective aids in getting the passengers
on board. The trip included a flying
visit to many delightful ports. In
Japan the traveler drank tea served by
delightful Japanese ladies. In Venice
he watched the canal lanterns flicker
in the waters (of the swimming pool),
while a gondolier sang to his lady as
he rowed her in a real boat! Spain
furnished entertainment in the form of
a viyid tango as performed by Kitty
Hunter and Oliver Spencer. In Paris
the house of Chamberlin-Johnson-Du-
Bose gave a fashion review figuring
spring models. Holland was perhaps
the most educational stop in the jour-
ney. Here the traveler was entertain-
ed by a lantern lecture presented by
Cara Hinman. Real Dutch cheese and
pretzels were on sale and very greatly
enjoyed,

The trip came to an end with a good
old welcome by Uncle Sam in the
gymnasium. Pasco in a blaze of stars
and stripes represented the well known

‘igure, After buying a-sampte-vt the+-

American product, Eskimo pies, the
travelers enjoyed dancing.

The evening was extremely success-
ful and it is hoped the campaign fund
was swelled by the entertainment.

Cecil Roberts
Lectures at College

Tells “What Europe Is
Thinking”

Cecil Roberts, internationally known
novelist, playwright, and journalist,
spoke Monday night on “What Europe
Is Thinking.” Few men know the
European mind as well as does Mr.
Roberts. Having served as official war
correspondent with the Grand Fleet,
and as director of overseas transport
in the War Ministry, he has been for
many years at the heart of European
affairs.

The lecture on Monday night review-
ed the chief problems that confront
Europe today. The Balkan States and
Italy, with her policy of expansion,
Mr. Roberts said, are the storm-cent-
evs of Europe. They are causing con-
siderable anxiety among the Powers.
Mr. Roberts, in his extremely interest-
ing discussion of the immediate cause
of the recent World War, showed very
clearly just how a matter of small im-
port may cause ultimately a great
social, political, and financial up-
heaval. Herein lies the danger of the
Mediterranean and Adriatic countries.
His discussion presented a lucid pic-
ture of existing conditions and con-
tributing factors in present European
thought.

Following his presentation of the
European situation, Mr. Roberts read
a group of his own poems, which met
with great favor on the part of the
audience.

Few of the speakers brought by the
Agnes Scott Lecture Association have
exhibited a more pleasing personality.
Mr. Roberts is an exceptional speaker.
He possesses a sense of humor which
sparkles with wit, and the anecdotes
with which he interspersed his obser-

Mrs. Hinman Speaks
‘To Pen-Brush Club

Discusses Durer and His
Art.

SS ee ee eet

Mrs. Hinman of Atlanta spoke to the
Pen and Brush Club and the college
community Tuesday night on “Al-
brecht Durer and the Renaissance in
Germany.” Mrs. Hinman has traveled
extensively in Europe and has been
especially interested in German Art.
Durer, she emphasized, helped to span
the time between Medievalism and
Modernism. She discussed the artist’s
influences—national thought, environ-
ment and the spirit of the time. An
interesting feature of the lecture was
a series of stereopticon slides of
Nuremburg, Durer’s birthplace, and a
group of pictures by Durer and con-
temporary artists. The lectrue was
extremely interesting and was greatly
enjoyed and appreciated by the club
and its visitors,

Marie Baker Is
Awarded Prize

Mary Jordan Given Honor-
able Mention.

The Agonistic has been conducting
during the past month a contest, with
a prize for the reporter whose articles
best carry out the standards of jour-
nalism. One of the goals to which
the Agonistic has been striving has
been to attain formality in the paper.
The staff has been especially anxious
that the front page articles be more
according to the set standards of
journalism and less like those of the
amateur school papers. It was toward
this end that the contest was con-
ducted on paper. The prize of two
dollars and a haif was awarded to
Marie Baker for an article on the
campaign. Second place goes to Mary
Jordan.

vations on Europe appealed greatly to
his audience. Such lecturers are no
every-day occurrence. Agnes Scott will
remember Cecil Roberts for his charm
and brilliance, and will welcome him
whenever he returns.

Next Issue Agonistic|S. P. S. Conf erence) Pi Alpha Phi En-
Devoted to Health To Be Held in Atlanta tertains at Banquet

Chopin Hudson to Edit the
Health Issue.

The next issue of the Agonistic,
which will appear on February 13th,
will be a health issue. This is a
custom followed every year, and it is
hoped by the Physical Education De-
partment that it will have a very bene-
ficial effect.

This Health Issue will launch
Health Week, and is only one of the
interesting and helpful features of the
program provided at that time. Chopin
Hudson, of the Sophomore Class, will
be in charge of the work on the paper.

Dr. Ellis Speaks
In Chapel

Noted Traveler Guest of Col-
lege.

Dr. Ellis, of Swarthmore, Pa., spoke
to the student body in chapel on Janu-
ary 13. He is a man of note in the
educational line and is greatly inter-
ested in Agnes Scott, since his daugh-
ter will enter as a student here next
year. Dr. Ellis said that he was at a
loss-as to what subject to talk on but
since he had visited the Holy Land he
would tell us about “Travels.” He
explained the difference between a
tourist and a traveler. The former de-
mands conveniences and comfort but
the latter is willing to suffer hard-
ships in order to take advantage of
the opportunities offered. Dr. Ellis
closed his talk by reminding us that
we must be “travelers” in life and not
“tourists.”

Several Girls Return
For Last Semester

Two New Members Enter
Freshman Class

Several former students here have
returned for this last semester to com-
plete work towards degrees in May.
Among these are Therese aBrksdale,
Helen Fox, and Eliza Ramey. Each of
these three reports a good winter of
leisure and fund. Therese Barksdale
has been spending her spare time in
Jackson, Miss.; Helen Fox has been up
in Philadelphia since last June, when
she visited Ted Wallace, '28, in Nash-
ville, Tenn. Eliza Ramey is back as
a day student, living in town with
Anais Jones, '28. Eliza has been hav-
ing an unusually pleasant winter on
her family plantation at Marshall,
Virginia.

The Freshman class too can boast of
some new entrants this semester.
Katherine Spitz of Atlanta has trans-
ferred here from the University of
Wisconsin. Marteine Tuller, also of
Atlanta, has entered the second semes-
ter of the Freshman year, after hav-
ing completed some post-graduate
work at Girls’ High in Atlanta.

Josephine Wells of Anniston, Als.,
is also back. Imeil Heard and Ruth
Perrine are two other students regis-
tered this semester for the first time
this year.

The student body is pleased to have
the old girls back, and ready to ex-
tend a hearty welcome to the new stu-
dents. May this last semester prove
a good one!

Dr. Davidson Member of
Committee on Arrange-
ments.

There will be a Southern Political
Science Conference held February 11-
12 at the Henry Grady Hotel in At-
lanta. Agnes Scott will be particular-
ly in this conference, since Dr. Philip
Davidson is Secretary to the Commit-
tee on Arrangements. The History De-
partments urges that as many stu-
dents as possible attend these meet-
ings. Transportation will be provided
for all those who desire to go.

This conference has been called at
the suggestion of several teachers of
Political Science for the purpose of
bringing tegether students and teach-
ers in a discussion of questions of pub-
lic importance. It is hoped that this
meeting will be followed by others
held annually, and that the adminis-
tration of the Conference will be taken
over from the self-chosen committee.

All those interésted in the topics
under discussion—teachers and stu-
dents of Political Science, lawyers, and

Informal and Entertaining

those interested in publie administra- |

tion—are invited to attend the ses-
sions.

Dr. Morgan Gives
Series of Services

Concerning “Our

Warfare.”

Speaks

Dr, Frank Crossley Morgan-is.en-
gaged thic week f a series.of-semices
here during the chape! period. All
who remember Dr. Morgan from his
Commencement sermon in 1927, and
his series of services last year, are
aware of his extraordinary ability to
deal with the problems of young peo-
ple. A young man himself, he has not
forgotten the needs of his own col-
lege days, and it is hoped that his
ministry here will bring a great in-
spiration to Agnes Scott.

Dr. Morgan’s subjects are:

1. The Devil’s Estimate of a Good
Man.
2. The Devil’s Fear of Worship.
3. The Devil’s Fear of Witness.

4. Fighting the Devil.

5. The Secret of Victorious Living.

Members of General
Edue. Board Visitors

President Arnett of Board
Among Visitors.

Agnes Scott had the pleasure of a
visit from members of the General
Education Board on January 17. They
were: Mr. Trevor Arnett, president of
the Board; Mrs. Arnett, Mr. Jackson
Davis, Mr. Leo Favrot, and Miss
Evans, Mr. Arnett’s secretary.

; Mr. Arnett, the president, is a grad-
| uate of Chicago, where he was. busi-
iness manager of the University. He
was later made secretary of the Gen-
jeral Board of Education; then vice-
| President of the University of Chi-
| cago; and finally president of the Gen-
eral Education Board.

The General Education Board is in

charge of the Rockefeller Endowment
; Fund, and Agnes Scott has made ap-
‘plication for appropriation from that
fund. The Board has stopped endow-
ing colleges, in order to give more aid
to the universities. It is hoped, how-
ever, that they will make an exception
in the case of Agnes Scott.

Mr. Davis and Mr. Favrot spoke in
the chapel service. All the visitors
were the guests of the college at a
luncheon in Rebekah Scott dining
room. Afterwards they were delight-
fully entertained at Faculty Coffee,
where the Glee Club sang.

Program Featured.

The members of Pi Alpha Phi en-
tertained in honor of the faculty mem-
bers, Miss Gooch, Miss Jackson, Miss
Laney. Dr. McCain, Mr. Stukes, Dr.
Davidson, Dr. Hayes, and Mr. Wright
at dinner in the private dining room of
the Hotel Candler Thursday evening.
The program was informal but un-
usually entertaining. Bleanor Lee
Norris reviewed the history of Pi
Alpha Phi and told of its large num-
ber of victories in intercollegiate de-
bates. The traditions of Pi Alpha Phi
were carried out by the place cards
which bore the emblem, the torch, and
by the decorations, which were blue
and gold. An entertaining feature of
the program was furnished by the new
members who gave inspiring debates
on such profound subjects as, Re-
solyed: It is better to have loved a
short than never to have loved a-tall,
and Pi Alpha Phi greatly increases
the matrimonial possibiilties of its
members. The members of the club
present were: Esther N. Anderson,
Marie Baker, Katherine Crawford,
Nancy Crockett, Marjorie Daniel, Au-
gusta Dunbar, Elizabeth Hamilton,
Emily Harvey, Mildred MceCalip, Mary
McCallie, Frances Messer, Eleanor Lee
Norris, Rowena Runnette, Julia
Thompson, Mary Trammell, Martha
Stackhouse, Ellene Winn, Harriet
Williams and Polly Vaughan.

Mrs: Pennybacker to
Lecture February 11

Subject “International Rela-
tions From the Press
Gallery.”

The second speaker sponsored by the
Agnes Scott Lecture Association this
semester will be Mrs. Percy V. Penny-

| backer, who will lecture at the college

on Monday evening, February 11, at
eight-thirty o’clock. Mrs. Penny-
backer’s lecture subject is: “‘Interna-
tional Relations as Viewed From the
Press Gallery.” Mays. Pennybacker is
one of the most interesting as well as
one of the most outstanding club
women of our day. At one time she
was President General of the United
Federation of Women’s Clubs, as pres-
ent she is president of the Chautauqua
Woman’s Club at Chautauqua Center,
New York, and chairman of the Na-
tional Woman’s Club.

In the World War Mrs. Penny-
backer took an active part as a com-
munity worker in camps. Mrs. Penny-
backer has been called “one of the
ablest suffragists of the world.” In
the recent very heated presidential
campaign Mrs. Pennybacker was an
ardent supporter of Alfred E. Smith,
the defeated Democratic candidate.

After the lecture Mrs. Pennybacker
will be the guest of honor at a re-
ception to be given by the Lecture As-
sociation in Rebekah Scott lobby. Re-
ceiving with Mrs. Pennybacker and the
members of the Lecture Committee
will be Mrs. Sydenstricker, a personal
friend of Mrs, Pennybacker’s, and the
presidents of the various Decatur
women’s clubs.

EDITORIAL
THE SOUTHEASTERN POLITICAL SCIENCE CONFERENCE

The Southeastern Political Science Conference will meet in
Atlanta February 11-12. Notice of its schedule and programs will
be found elsewhere in the Agonistic.

The editor wishes to urge all thinking students on the campus
to attend. One of the finest purposes of the college is to give her
students an awareness of life. Ours is a great age, one whose
great movements sweep history before them. Without under-
standing of its spirit we cannot hope for an understanding of the
twentieth century.

The Conference offers an opportunity to study the trend of
present-day history with the instruction of competent teachers
from all over the South. They are men and women capable of
seizing the essential and presenting it with real insight, and the
privilege extended of attending the Conference must be considered
as a splendid opportunity.

THE AGE OF REASON

If this is the age of reason—and we are constantly being told
that it is—is it not worthwhile and valuable to consider just where
our reasoning has led us? What has been the result of this vast
amount of thinking, this questioning, this searching into the whys
and wherefores of life?

There are two characteristics of the age which upon analysis
prove salient. First of all, the period is one of revolt. This state-
ment cannot be made sweeping, however, for while there are many
who have laid aside all respect for the old order, there still remain
those who hold fast to the laws which they have always obeyed.
Nevertheless, there is in the fabric of this age of ours a thread of
restlessness, of dissatisfaction, that is beginning to characterize
to a certain extent the younger generation.

Asa corollary to this spirit, we find youth released from many
of the bonds and prejudices by which it has long been hampered.
This freedom—is it simply a flinging aside of convention and a
disregard for the old? In many cases, and to many people, free-
dom means nothing more. But to the discerning mind freedom in
its truest sense can never mean mere release from old restraints.
Rather let us say with Dr. Fosdick that “Freedom is the positive
substitution of inward self-control for external restraint.” This is
the ideal attitude which should be assumed toward privilege, and
the only one which will make the granting of privilege practicable.

One is led to wonder how this new movement away from the
old has affected the religious conviction of youth. Surely as never
before skepticism is taking the place of blind faith. The instinct
to worship compels us of necessity to search for that something
whose very dimness makes it holy—something beyond that we
may trust. But are we becoming dissatisfied with the old God?
Do we need a new one?

The answer lies with the individual. Each of us creates, out
of necessity, a God to meet her especial need. And if new needs
come, do we not lay hold of a new conception of Him? God never
changes; it is we who change.

In every generation there will be those who fail to see the
fundamental principles which are as high as the heavens and as
eternal, but there will be just as many and more who possess the
ability to see “the big things big and the little things little.” They
can perceive that religion is not creed and doctrine, but God; that
right living consists, not in observing artificial barriers and codes
which man has set up, but in following truth and honor and loyal-
ty. Surely, then, there is no need to clamor for a new God and
for new standards of living when the eternal endures regardless of
how much intellectual curiosity college students display with re-
spect to their manifestation.

If there were not a purpose behind, a destiny before, we would
not find ourselves here, endowed with a magnificent power to ac-
complish and a vibrant awareness of life.

“Tf there be nothing after now,
And we be nothing anyhow,
Why live?”

This freedom—where is it taking us? This reasoning—what
is it deciding for us? For peace of mind, if for nothing else, we
must get somewhere with all this discussion. The whole movement
is useless if we are to do nothing more than exchange one conven-
tional pattern of life for another which is likely to’ prove less suc-
cessful.

We Think

In view of the fact that there is
under way a movement to change the
Agnes Seott ring, the members of the
Junior class consider it best to put be-
fore the student public the following
letters on the subject which have been
received from alumnae of various
classes:

Hartwell, Ga., Jan. 26, 1929,
President the Junior Class,
Agnes Scott College:

The Agnes Scott ring keeps the
spirit of the college with its alumnae.
To change would be to change the
spirit, Please keep rings the same.

725.

I see in the Agonistic that the an-
nual discussion about changing the col-
lege ring is going on in full force.
And so I thought I’d write and tell you
how some of the alumnae feel about
the matter. You know every year
there are a few in every Junior class
who try to get the ring changed, and
every year they use the same old argu-
ments. There is ‘nothing new under
the sun” as far as that ring question
is concerned, And I know how hard it
is to get those few to see how silly and
childish they are. You sensible Juniors
have my sympathies in trying to calm
down those unruly few. I think the
articles in the Agonistic were well
written and presented the case very
clearly, but I know from experience
how little such articles count at times.
I thought possibly a word or two
from at least one alumna might help
you out,

I realize that those who want the
chahge say that the ring is old-fash-
ioned, but even though it may be old-
fashioned, it is very distinctive, which
an amethyst with violets and the
tower of Main certainly would not be.
The most distinctive thing about the
ring as it is is the seal of the college.
Maybe the “progressives” (I think
iconoclasts is a better word) haven't
noticed that there is on that ring the
motto of the college “In fide vestra
virtutem, in virtute autem scientiam,”
which means more to every daughter
of Agnes Scott than the tower of Main
or the “winsome violet” ever can, It
seems to me that the proposed change
would be breaking faith with the ideals
of the college in relegating to the
background that emblem of the col-
lege that stands for the highest ideals.
As for those who want to keep the
old ring being sentimental, putting the
tower of Main and violets on the ring
would be much more sentimental in
my opinion. There is more sentiment
on the campus about the tower of Main
than there is about the seal. Now, I
don’t want you to think that I don’t
love the tower, I do. But I don’t think
it stands for the ideals of the college
as the seal does. And I think that a
college ring should be the expression
of a college’s ideals. You know that
ring isn’t a Senior ring, it is a col-
lege ring because no one who does not
gradaute may wear the ring. And
since it is a college ring, and since it
means a great deal more in its present
form than it could possibly mean if
changed, I hope you will forgive this
tirade from an “old alumna,” and re-
member that it is the visible sign of
the ideals of a college that I’m sure
you love as much as the rest of us do.
When you get near to the end of your
Senior year you begin to realize just
how much Agnes Scott means to you,
and you begin to separate the false
from the true. The tower of Main is
beautiful, and no one could love it
qore than ldo; (but soe Doha eA ys | —_——$———
be there. So let’s keep the things that
will abide forever. “In fide vestra
virtutem, in virtute autem scientiam.”

28.

Dear Junior Class at Agnes Scott:

As an alumna of Agnes Scott I want
to ask you to be very cautious about
making changes in anything that has
been as long established and accepted
as our college ring. To “those who
have gone on before” our ring is the
symbol of all that Agnes Scott stands
for and a bond of union between all
graduates wherever we meet. Our
ring is much more truly distinctive and
representative of our Alma Mater than
a large ring, heavy with a stone and
much engraving. I ask you to consider
the many generations of students who
have made Agnes Scott what you know
it to be and not to cause a division
in the Agnes Scott family by chang-
ing our ring to conform with merely a
passing fad.

Yours with love for all Agnes Seot-
ters,

you not to jump te any hasty con-
¢lusions, but please do give the mat-
ter one more good thought before you
put over the new proposition. You
know, we alumnae would hate to
“snoot” any of our younger sisters un-
wittingly some day!

With the best of wishes to each one
of you!

23,

President of Junior Class,
Agnes Scott College,
Decatur, Georgia.
Dear Girls;

Every once in a while even the old
timers get wind of what is brewing
on the campus. Quite a few years ago
it happened to be my particular busi-
ness, in connection with the Agonistic,
to hunt up every bit of news avail-
able for publication, and when there
was none to manufacture startling
bits of fiction that had very little fact
for its basis, but made snappy read-
ing at least. No matter how far away
I get, a copy of the Agonistic always
calls to mind Monday nights when a
copy had to be put together and Thurs-
day when proof came back with blank
columns and white spaces to be filled.
I am always quite thrilled to get
Agnes Scott news, and whenever 1920
has a reunion, I head in towards the
Alumnae House as fast as ever an
iron horse can travel.

The last bit of news I had was a bit
startling—to the effect that your class
is planning to change the Senior rings.
Somehow, as one who has had a ring
for ten years, there is a satisfaction
about putting on a gold seal that is
the emblem of our own Alma Mater,
a seal that no one else other than a
graduate can possess. It is not so
costly and it is not so showy, but it
stands for more than any stone dug
from a mine, or fished from a sea, or
reconstructed by some chemical expert.
Anyone with the desire, the taste, and
the shekels necessary can purchase
amethyst or other jeweled rings, but
only those who have diligently pursued
their work over a definite period of
time may apply for the Agnes Scott
College seal cast into a gold ring.
After having had the ring for quite a
time, I have more affection for the
seal and what it stands for than I
could ever have had for some stone,
no matter what style the setting or
the engraving on the inside stands for.

Please don’t think I am butting in,
but I am merely expressing the deep
feeling I have because I love all Agnes
Scott girls who are entitled to a Senior
ring; past, present, and future.

Sincerely

28.

What you say about changing the
ring is a cause for real concern to
those of us “who have gone on be-
fore.” There is a little old church here
in Richmond where Patrick Henry de-
livered his speech of Revolutionary
days, made immortal by the slogan,
“Give me liberty, or give me death!’
It is a little church, with high, old-
fashioned pews. But if the Episcopal-
ians of Richmond should say, “We
want a new church, up-to-date and
beautiful,” and should make overtures
to tear it down, the whole city would
be thrown into a furor and the gen-
eral cry would be, “Why should one
generation break faith with us and
with the past?”

Our little Agnes Scott ring isn’t so
beautiful, but it bears our college seal
and generations of Agnes Scott stu-
dents have worn it proudly. The laws
of tradition are unwritten laws.and no
penalty is exacted when they are
broken. But a college that has no body
of traditions is not an “Alma Mater.”
Students who take no thought of tradi-
tion are lacking in the clear perspec-
tive which enables them to see and un-
derstand the relation of our Alma
Mater to her grown-up daughters who
have gone out into the world, and to
her very young daughters who will
come after them.

The ring is only a symbol, it’s true,
of all that Agnes Scott means to us.
Changing the ring will not change the
meaning, but it will mark a very
definite break with the past, and I
should regret to see it happen.

723:

In the “We Think” written concern-
ing the rings in a recent issue of the
Agonistic, next to the violets, most
was said about keeping faith with the
alumnae. To them certainly we owe
an obligation. This is not an article
either for or against changing the
ting but about our debt to the wear-
ers of the Agnes Scott seal.

20.

Agnes Scott’s true seal is on our
character, not our ring. A ring, how-
ever homely or however beautiful, can
mean only what the wearer makes it
mean.

Dear Sister Class:

Sundry rumors have been wafted to
my ears that the question before the
Junior public now is—whether or not
to change the college ring, and I feel it
incumbent upon me to speak a word
about this matter,

The way in which we can best keep
faith with the alumnae is in living up
to the high standards they have set
for us: in keeping faith with the
ideals of Agnes Scott, with the honor

Really, you all don’t know how
system, with ourselves, and in passing

many good things you would miss by
changing the ring. Why, I got a large
lift in a car one day because I hap-
pened to be wearing mine! All joking
aside though, honestly, it does mean
ever so much to see and recognize a
ring even though you’ve never seen the
face above it, and I believe that after
you get away from Aggie, you’ll ap-
preciate the fact more and more. I
think that if you took such a step
you'd regret it some day. It is just
like a high school ring, I'l] admit, but
the large ones would be much more ex-
pensive, and maybe some of you who
would want it most wouldn’t be able
to afford one,

these ideals, undimmed, to those who
come after us.
A This Year’s Junior.

I had a Hoase letter the other day
and the business of the rings was men-
tioned. I certainly hope that short-
sighted Junior class didn’t change
them. I wear my ring all the time
and I’m proud of it and I want it to
be recognized by an Alumna anywhere.
I started to wire the president of the
Junior class but I was afraid some ac-
tion had already been taken as it was
the 26th when I got the Hoase letter.

THE AGONISTIC

Exams are over and what a wonder-
ful care-free feeling they’ve left us!
The ones we merited we’re thrilled
over and the ones we didn’t—well,
they’re bygones and needn’t worry us
anymore. And more good month-after-
new year’s resolutions have been made
—in regard to better studying and
more time to be spent in the library
and other very serious resolves about
education in general.

And society has blossomed and
stepped out like a veritable debutante
—cause more dear daughters of
Agnes have gone home, and more love-
ly relations have visited, and alumnae
and friends. But best of all we’re ac-
quiring some new sure *nuf daughters
and we’re mighty proud to have them
with us! For proof look downward
and behold—

First Basketball
Game Is Held

Juniors and Freshmen Vic-
torious.

The series of basketball games has
begun at last, the first two games
being played last Friday night. The
Juniors defeated the Sophomores 21-
18, and the Freshmen beat the Seniors
39-28. The Freshmen outplayed the
Seniors throughout the whole game,
their passwork being excellent and the
shooting unusually accurate. The
Juniors and Sophomores played much
the same game though the Juniors
managed always to keep a few points
lead. Though all the playing was fair
for a first game, yet it was ragged
and there is much room for improve-
ment.

The line-ups were as follows:
JUNIORS SOPHOMORES
Nash (15) Sprinkle (11)
Miller (6) Morrow (7)

Moore Terrell
Shanklin Hudson
Woolford Hill
Flinn Grey
SENIORS FRESHMEN

Lanier (10)
Hunter (18)

Kane (25)
Brown (14)

Ridley Willingham
Fowler Peoples
Morgan Dyer
Sisson Robbins

Volleyball games preceded the

basketball games, the Sophomores de-
feating the Juniors and the Seniors
defeating the Freshmen.

additional revelations concerning the
church-state compromise did not alter
its cardinal points: “1, The Govern-
ment of Italy will designate a con-
siderable plot of land around the Vati-
can and extending southward down the
River Tiber as ‘The Papal State” 2.
An indemnity of one billion lire ($52,-
631,600) will be paid by the Italian
treasury to the Papal State, in com-
pensation for lands seized from the
Holy See in 1870.”

Afghan’s Three Kings in One Week

According to the Dallas News “The
Afrhans may he elassed as Amennl-
lificationists.” This has refer-
ence to the recent abdication of King
Amanullah of Afghanistan who abdi-
cated when the tribesmen, angered by
the attempt to introduce European
customs, revolted, The brigands
forced King Amanullah to abdicate in
favor of his brother, Inayatullah, then
forced Inayatullah to abdicate, and
proclaimed Bacha Sakao, the brigand
leader, ruler at the citadel of Kabul.
After a short interval Amanullah, who
refused to stay abdicated returned to
Kandohar and the royal standard was
flown as if nothing had happened.
Next day Inayatullah, the brother of
the king, returned. It seems that the
double abdication of the week of Janu-
ary 21 was merely a successful double-
crossing of Bacha Sakao and the ban-
dits, which permitted King Amanullah
to escape.

THE AGONISTIC

Well, Giddy,

It may, or it may not, be a cause
for whoopee—but anyhow They are
over, and our minds can settle down

to normal again. Those hectic two]
weeks, though, are gone but not for-
gotten. It’s something to marvel at
the way we studied; Elise Gibson was
working so hard on her Economies she
forgot to go to the exam, and wander-
ed in half an hour late. And Mary
McCallie, my dear, had been eating
chocolate bars because she had heard
they were good brain food, and she
picked up one in the drug store in Dec
and said, “Merit me.” Really, Giddy,
you can see from that that exams
aren’t good for your mind, though I
suppose there were some good results.
At least semebody knows now that
the chief characteristic of Anglo-
Saxon poetry is not “illiteration,” and
Jo Barry says she has discovered that
the cheko is not the Czecho-Slovakia
senate (please don’t ask me embar-
rassing questions, Giddy, I'm not sure
what it is, but it’s not that):

One other nice thing about exams
was the time left over. Nearly every-
body went home, or to somebody else’s
home, or at least to Atlanta to “The
Torch-Bearers.” And Merritt’s and
Baby Sara’s loves came up to see
them, and Merritt got a lovely Pi K. A.
pin, “the glorious shield and diamond

over her heart” (though I'll bet most
anything you haven’t seen it). Baby
Sara said she had a fine time; Jimmie
got a box at the Erlanger and they
played street-car in it.

But Margaret McCoy had the worst
luck. She didn’t know restrictions
were off after exams, and she stayed
out here over the week-end, when she
was supposed to have a date to go to
a show with Peter Pund. Think of it,
Giddy, the chance of a lifetime; isn’t
that real tragedy!

Now. if she had entertained him as
Helen Hendricks does Firpo, he would
have come out here and sat in the
Cabinet Room. Alice found the love
letters of Abelard and Heloise down

there after Helen’s date the other
night—conclusive evidence.
Oh, one other thing nice about

examns, I meant to tell you—Teebie
and Eliza Ramey are back. It sho is
zood to have them too,

Since we’re back in the same old
rut again, letters are greatly appre-
ciated, Giddy dear—you might tell
that to all your friends too. My mail-
box is getting dusty—been dusty ever
since I got out the notice from Miss
Hopkins about my room the day flunk
slips were to come out-—scared me to
death.

As ever, your loving

Aggie.

Boning Proves Good

Berkeley, Cal.—‘*Cramming is justi-
fied,” declared Dr. Glenn R. Pease, of
the College of the Pacific, after con-
ducting experiments on 408 students
over a period of six weeks.

Dr. Pease divided the students into
two groups. One was warned to pre-
pare for a test, and asked to record
the time spent in cramming. The

other group was given the test as a}

complete surprise.

The result showed the first group |

which had crammed, an average of 87
minutes, had a lead of 11.1 points
over the other.

Six weeks later the same test was
“sprung” on both groups. The first
group still had a lead of 6.3 points.

Aviation in the Colleges
“Aviation in the colleges has been
growing with leaps and bounds,” says
Joe Godfrey, Jr., in a recent article.
“The Harvard Flying Club at Cam-
bridge has its own plane and is used
daily by its student members. Each

year a new plane is purchased by the
members of the club and so success-
ful has been the operation of the club
itself that its members now offer to
help the students at other universities
to form a similar organiaztion. At
Yale the Flying Club will undoubtedly
buy a plane this year, and other
schools soon to follow are New York
University, Massachusetts Tech, Geor-
gia, Stanford, California, Michigan,
Illinois, and Minnesota, Wherever
there are courses in aeronautics—and
there are about seventy large institu-
tions now offering such courses—aero
and flying clubs are being formed.
The great interest now shown in
aviation in the colleges is resulting in
the taking of special courses in flying
by students who wish to become pilots.
Students will soon fly their own planes.
—Penn. Chronicle,
—The Hornet.

Polyglot Yale Men
New Haven, Conn.—Every state in
the United States and 33 foreign coun-

tries are represented in the enrollment
of 5,743 students at Yale university.
Connecticut has the most students in
the university, with New York and
Pennsylvania second and third. In
spite of having Harvard in its bound-
aries, Massachusetts furnishes the
fourth largest state enrollment at
Yale.
—Sou’wester.

Students Choose Faculty

We read in the G. S. C. W. Colon-
nade that student government has
been installed there. A novel method
of government is being tried as an
experiment. Instead of the usual pro-
cedure in the selection of the faculty,
the student body selects each instruc-
tor by popular vote. All chaperonage
has been dispensed with and the at-
tendance to chapel, classes, and church
is optional.

More Women in College

Enrollment of women in American
| colleges and universities has increased
| 25 per cent in the last five years ac-
cording to figures compiled from all in-
stitutions approved by the Association
of American Universities. The figures
show that the larger the school the
larger the gain in enrollment.

The largest college exclusively for
women are, in order of size: Hunter
College, Smith College, Wellesley,
Simmons, Vassar, Goucher, Mt. Holy-
oke, Radcliffe, and Randolph-Macon
Women’s College. The number vary
from under a thousand to over four
thousand.

The largest number of women in co-
educational schools are in those of
California, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minne-

AGNES § SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, Sa WEDNESDAY, FEBRU ARY 13, 1929

Spirit of Play ‘Takes Possession of A. S.C. Campus

News of the
Little Brown Jug

Dormitories Compete Thursday
Night.

What? At Agnes Scott? Yes, but
s not that kind of a Brown Jug. This
is a most athletic and healthful little
pitcher, for it is given to that dormi-

tory at Agnes Scott that can put on |

the most original health stunt. Thurs-
day night each dormitory will give a
stunt which in some way extols the
beauty and attributes of health. Last
year Main won the Little Brown Jug
with Shadow Pictures of the different
postures on the campus. Of course in
that stunt Inman was stooped; Re-
bekah, sway-backed; and the cottages
round-shouldered. Main alone held
herself perfectly. And by some sort
of a curious coincidence, Lynn Moore,
who represented Main that night, later
won the cup given to Agnes Scott’s
most healthy’ girl. Main surely did
know her postures! So now, each
dormitory thinks up a cute stunt; and
all you who have erect bodies and
athletic souls, prepare to win the
Little Brown Jug. It has “Main,
1928” painted on it—I wonder what it
will have in 1929?

To-Date Model?

Miss North Sends
Good Fairy

Athletic Board Room Made

Attractive.
Old St. Nick, the mischievous fel-
low, left an unassuming box in Miss

Wilburn’s office. Unlike most Christ-
mas packages, it did not have that at-
mosphere of open-me-quick-I-have-
something-exciting-inside-of - me; in-
stead it wore an I-contain-a-water-
polo-ball air—Santa Claus’ doings!
Weeks later, Sally Southerland wanted
a water polo ball and found instead—
that tricky package—a lovely bronze
figure, The Good Fairy. And whom
was it from? Miss North, of course,
our last year’s friend and playfellow.
Christmas and her friendly thought
came to us in the form of this grace-
ful fairy. Needless to say “Bee” glad-
ly overcame her economy of the ath-
letie board money to send a night let-
ter. The Good Fairy is an addition
indeed to the Athletic Board room.

Speaking of additions, the furniture
of the room is sporting a spring out-
fit of new cretonne. The fairy, our
,; curtains, the new cretonne, a few pic-
tures, and cushions, donated by some-
cone with a generous nature may the
spirit of giving move someone possess-
ing some colorful pictures—all are
making our room attractive and cosy.
Our gratitude to the domestic mem-
bers of the board, to the spirit of
generosity, and to a jovial Santa
Claus!

EDITORIAL

“Body and mind in balance, a sound frame, a solid intellect,
the will to seek, wisdom to choose and courage where withal. To
deal with whatever circumstance should minister to man, make
life succeed.’”’—Browning.

To most of those outside of the physical education world,
physical education is nothing more than a name—physical culture
or physical training (rather antiquated terms) or it simply means
Walter Camp’s “daily dozen.” To those of us within the hall I
think it means largely, a way of living—in other words it embraces
something beside the physical—education with the word physical
attached perhaps. Kilpatrick says “The first duty of education
is to teach people to do better the desirable things that they are
going to do anyway. Another duty is to reveal higher types of
activities and to make them both desired and to an extent
possible.” It seems to us that physical education is striving for
the same thing. Our physical education department here at
Agnes Scott has aims and objectives that it is working for—they
may not be written out in blazing headlines but in intangible and
tangible are being striven for. What is more tangible than to
try to give a better way of living to college; a chance to know
how to enjoy our leisure time (if that Utopia ever comes) ; to
develop some sport that we can use in after college days. Fair play
—sportsmanship—leadership are in the minds of all of us and
if we learn to play the game in one thing it may help us in another
direction. For after all—life is but a game, sometimes the rules
are sterner than at other times, but—if we are fitted to meet new

and different situations, if we can adjust ourselves readily, our
lives and those about us will be healthier and happier. It is not
our aim to develop a varsity or Olympic star—but to help “the
middleman” and beginner—to give her enough to start on so that
she can enjoy sports—dancing or whatever it is. One of our |
dreams is to have every girl in college participate on a team o

some kind before graduation—a taste often means a desire for a
larger helping! It is one of our objectives to give an opportunity
for everybody to attain “good form’—to develop to her maximum
capacity whatever she undertakes in the “world of sports.’’ This
idea and the idea of physical education can’t be swallowed in large
doses—they have to be carefully and intelligently built up. Edu-
cation is trying to have people doing things on a basis of intelli-
gence—so is physical education. Those who play the best game of
hockey, who swim best, etc., are the ones who do it thinkingly—
not by the “trial and error” procedure.

Have you ever watched people running to catch a street car—
crossing the street—carrying heavy packages and have you ever
been struck by the inefficient way in which they manage their
bodies? Physical education is certainly no panacea—no cure all,
but—it does help us to realize that we can do many things with far
less effort than lots of people are doing. The good athlete is the
one who expends the least amount of energy—incidentally, the
idea of grace and beauty are two aims in physical education.
Nothing is more thrilling than a girl who moves beautifully,
rhythmically—with ease. Why shouldn’t we all be more beautiful?

So summing it all up—physical education is trying to get
across to the people a better way of living—a zest and joy for life,
to help to develop the individual mentally, physically, socially and
spiritually; to place him in a position to meet this ever changing
civilization; our department here wants health as a means to an
end—‘‘life more abundant”—to develop personal skills, a use of
leisure time, an idea of beauty—a love for outdoors and the spirit
of play—will you play with us?

Ps 505

We have lately heard, very much to
our surprise, some talk on the campus
in regard to the fact that the day stu-
dents are very much mistreated by the
boarders, and are not given due re-
spect. Being among the day student
band ourselves, we were perplexed to
know that for three years we had been
mistreated and abused and did not
know it. Well, we thought, we must
be completely senseless if we have
been thus shamefully ill used and have
known nothing of it.
redeem ourselves as far as possible,
we have been sharply on the lookout
for any signs of abuse intended for
or perpetrated against us. And now,
we must confess that, instead of find-
ing the boarders slighting us, we have
found them even nicer to us than we
had thought they were. When, at the
next day student lunch room assembly,
we voiced our opinion that the board-
ers were friendly to us at all times,
and were mighty fine girls, we found

that practically everybody there
agreed with us,

“That being the case,” you say,
“whence comes all this talk?” Well,

perhaps you know that it has been the
habit for truly collegiate students to
“gripe” about something. Having
neither meals, phones, nor time limit
to complain of, the day students show-
ed their originality by griping about
something which the boarders would
never have thought of—namely, the
boarders themselves!

Since we feel that this habit, recent-
ly cultivated by the day students, is
not particularly pleasant to any of the
parties concerned, we should like to
suggest a remedy. There is a cam-
paign on the campus at present to
eliminate the griping habit. We make
a motion that the day students do their
part to cheer up A. S. C. by dropping
conversation about “abuses” and by
joining with the boarders in boosting
our college. After all, day students
and boarders are all Hottentots from
Agnes Scott. Three cheers for A.

Day Student of ’29.

We think this is the very opportun-
ity for which we’ve been waiting, lo
these many days! It’s just this:

When we think and talk of health,
we always think of play—or its near
kin—recreation. Let’s make this week
a week of play—not in the sense of
excluding our work, but improving our
form and method of sport. Let’s make
it a play week, not for students alone,
but for our faculty too. And if we all
play together we are sure to help that
thing we’re always theorizing over—
student-faculty friendship. Then, too,
you have so much to impart to us,
faculty, that is not to be imparted in
the classroom. True, it’s fun to work
together; we learn much that way, but
we long to know you better and be-
lieve we can if we play together. We’d
like to drop a hint to all—play is a
wonderful incentive to perpetual

Seniors Hold on to
Lead in Water Polo

Defeat Sophs With Score 5-3.

Seniors and Sophs, with a steely de-
termined glint in their eyes, swag-
gered hopefully down to the pool Tues-
day afternoon to play off the pro-
longed polo battle. During the first
half the Sophs manfully fought their
way to three goals, the Seniors having
but one. During the second half,
however, the Seniors plotted and
executed their vengeance, and Pasco’s
mighty strokes, together with Martha
Riley’s and Sally’s teamwork, piled up
the score 5-3 in favor of Seniors.

The line-up was as follows:

Health Heroes

In Grant Park in Chicago there has
been erected a monument to Louis
Pasteur, servant of humanity. His
discoveries have lessened suffering and
prolonged life. Not his personal health
but his contribution to others’ health
justified his place among our health
heroes.

Helen Wills has won something be-
sides loving cups and write-ups. She
wins our admiration by the way she
keeps her body in physical fitness,
ready for tennis (or perhaps love, as
the newspapers tell us). Why doesn’t
she turn up her nose at turnips?
and cold showers? She loves them
(maybe we would too in California).
People have known of times when she
refused chocolate ‘ice cream sodas and
butter-scotch sundaes. Just think of
that. The next time you watch her
swing her racket, bear me out in what
I’m saying.

Movie fans have forced Douglas
Fairbanks on our list. Most of us
could eat nothing but Mexican jump-
ing beans for a month and not be able
to jump out of one of those jars in
the “Thief of Bagdad,” but at the age
of two score or more, Douglas Fair-
banks maintains the appearance of
a dashing youth. That’s no small
compliment to the power of health.

How often have you stared at the
face of Edna Wallace Hopper, who is
now sixty-four but looks only sixteen,
and wondered about the days to come.
Perhaps the desire to order the patent
medicine to which she attributes her
youth has found its way to your mind.
Long not for her medicine but rather:
for her health, for patent medicine has |
not made her whet she is today, but
careful care of her body.

Perhaps we should mention Walter
Camp, who originated the records for
setting-up exercises, or maybe Roose-
velt and his fight for health and eed
wonderful victory. To come closer
home, though, cast an eye on Edna
Lynn Moore, healthiest of five hundred
Hottentots in 1928. Have you no de-
sire to add your name to this list?
Eat those turnips and good vegetables,
sleep at night and not in class, work
hard and exercise.

That’s the way the games on Fri-

team was so excited that she charged

that wasn’t exactly the thing to do.
And the time-outs! They were almost
as numerous as the fouls. But in spite
of fouls and time-outs, the games,
especially the Freshman-Junior
were certainly interesting. Although
the Freshmen managed to keep the

Fresh Air and You

Do you beheve in fairies? Maybe,
if you are Irish or if you forgot to
grow up and get sophisticated, you
will say “yes.” You'll remember those
enchanting tales of goblins and spirits
and will o’ the wisps. And how there
is a spirit dwelling in all things, the
water, the fire, and the air. And
it is the spirits of the air I‘m inter-
ested in.

I expect any college girl would say
that perfect happiness for her meant
two things—good looks and good
brains. (I name them in order of
anti-climax.) Fresh air is the special-
ly appointed caretaker of good brains.
You probably grumble about teachers
who are fresh air fiends and freeze
you to an icicle but just remember as

you crystallize that fresh air made you

think of the answer to that last ques-
tion. You spend only a small part of
your time actually in classrooms. It is
up to you to regulate your own fresh
air. A stuffy room means a stuffy
brain. Try ventilating for a week and
watch your marks.

And as for good looks! Perhaps you
are aware that today “beauty is as
beauty feels.” Nobody feels good who
does not live in contact with sunshine
and fresh air. If your shoulders sag,
if your cheeks are wan, and your eyes
have lost their sparkle, try walking to
the Emory bridge as few times. I
guarantee that after one look in the
mirror, or after a few cfompliments
from Jack you’ll make it daily prac-
tice.

If you’ve ever had the cobwebs of
your brain blown out by a_ spring
breeze or real rose in your cheeks from
a nipping north’easter, you'll never
again hide from the kindly spirits of
the air.

Signs of Robin
Hood on Campus

Although the National Archery As-
| sociation of the U. S. was formed as
|early as 1879, it is only since the
World War that archery has become
|vastly popular in the U. S. and has
been included among the sports of the
leading American colleges. In 1924
Bryn Mawr had developed many
| skilled archers and even presented a
| Robin Hood pageant as early as 1922.
| Another sign that proves that arch-
ery is again coming to the fore as a
national sport is the unusual increase
of tournaments throughout the coun-
try. Just last month, the Third An-
'nual Mid-Winter Archery Tournament
|) was held at Pinehurst, N. C. Some of
the colleges that engage in the con-
tests are Ohio State, Northwestern,
University of Wisconsin, Cornell and
Bryn Mawr, besides others within the
past year.

It is therefore with great pride that
we note the enthusiastic beginnings of
archery here at Agnes Scott. Much
greater interest has been shown among
our “would-be” archers this second
semester because now, it is a require-
ment that each girl shall own her own
arrows. The department has been ac-
quiring new equiment; at present,
three beautiful Engiish long bows, and
two standard targets. Plans are in
progress for an archery tournament
which will be held in the spring in
connection with Field Day. It is hoped
that within the next few years, arch-
lery will rank as a major sport at
| Agnes Scott.

“No archer wins, or ever will;
He goes on aiming higher still. . . .
. However high your arrow went
Be not with one success content:
Still higher look! Look not below,
But lift your aim, and bend the bow!”

Why I Do Not
Play Hockey

They put a stick into my hand,
But that was long ago,

And I have not been near them since—
The reason you shall know.

They said, “Perhaps you might try
goal,
Our forwards seldom miss;
And you could let them shoot at you.”
(I knew ’twould be like this.)

I said “No, No, I'd rather not!”
(They’d kill me sure, the fools!)
They said “Well, well, that’s quite all

right,
But listen to the rules.

“A bully in the centre field
Begins the game,” they said.

I looked about, out-numbered far.
And shook with worldess dread.

“A roll-in comes each time,” they said,
“The ball goes out of bound.”

I looked first at my middy white,
Then at the muddy ground.

“And when the roll-in’s done, be sure
You’re not ‘off-side’ because

That means a free hit for your foe
By all the hockey laws.

| “Don’t let your foes get near the goal,

For that’s the striking place;
Each stick upon it’s left-hand side
Must have a flattened face.”

| They read the rules, I got one grain

Of comfort from it all.
They said, “Your foe cannot touch you
Till she has touched the ball.”

I stood no more, but seized my chance;
I took the ball and sped.
’Tis now locked up where none can
find,
Or touch, it 'till ’'m dead.
—dJanet Seeley, B. M. ’29.

Eve: My child, don’t your legs get

cold in those thin silk stockings?

Daughter of Eve: Yes, but I can’t

pull the wool over men’s eyes.

That reminds me of the three col-
lege grads, ship-wrecked on an Arctic
island, who froze to death rather
than kindle a fire with their diplomas.

Soph: The Freshman seems to be
wrapped in thought.
Junior: He must be chilly—so thinly
clad.

“Every time she smiles it reminds
me of a Pullman car at 8 o’clock in
the evening.”

“Howsat?”

“Now lowers, and very few uppers
left.”

“Grandfather still takes an intelli-
gent interest in the business cycle.”

“How wonderful these athletic old
gentlemen are!”

Brown: My mother-in-law has a
habit that I would like to break.
Jones: What is that?

Brown: Breathing.

“Pardon me,” said the prisoner as
he bumped into the governor.

Ag: Say, you know Minerva?
Mag: Minerva who?
Ag: Minerva-Swreck!

How Main Girls Keep Them.

Probably the inhabitants in Main
would prefer my not revealing the
secret of their “thinness” t othe world
at large. But I’m sure that their ob-
jection will be overruled when they
consider just what a scientific contri-
bution they are making to those anx-
ious ones whose supreme desire is to
decrease excess avoidupois. What a
task! Yet, it can be done. Of course,
there are various methods but I am
going to give you only those which
have proven successful—beyond the
least doubt.

“Barly to bed, early to rise—
Makes a man healthy, wealthy and

And so do athletic oranges and

oranges, yum, yum, yum, they are
good! Try one and see.

Or Is It Laziosis?

“Women are too patient. They
should not put up with anything short
of perfect freedom from pain, dis-
comfort or weakness, without an ef-
fort to find out the cause of the
trouble and to get rid of it. It may
not be that every girl can acquire all
that she wishes in the way of health,
but there is a maximum point for each
girl, which she can attain. It is safe
to say that every girl can have more
health than she now has.”—Y. W.
C.. A:

“Girls object now more than ever to
vaccination because it’s so hard now to
find a place where the scar won't
show.’’—Fayetteville Observer.

“Watchful
Weighting”’

“No pushing, ladies, ple-e-e-e-se.
Don’t crowd so much. Please stand
back and givé the lady air!”

You’re wrong; it is not a county fair
or a cafeteria line. It’s just Aunt
Agnes’ large family on one of its
frequent rushes to the scales. This
matter of gaining or losing weight
seems to be the gravest problem facing
Aunt Agnes’ children. Some of them
want to reduce; some want to gain; a
few are satisfied.

Gain if you need to; lose if you
need to. But whichever you do, do
it in moderation. Just because a girl
weighs three pounds more one month
than she did the month before, she will
nobly resolve never to think about
breakfast for weeks, or to lose so
much sleep that people will see her
woebegone face and exclaim, “The
poor child! She’s so thin and over-
worked.” But some people just will
not be fooled, and so the poor girl is
a nervous wreck for nothing.

Of course, most of the sylphs and
airy wraiths rejoice in their lack of
avoirdupois; but some, who are dis-
satisfied, like their overweight sisters,
just will not settle down to steady im-
provement. The skinny sister may vow
she will drink four glasses of milk
every day, and she may go so far some
day as to drink that much. If that is
on Monday, by Friday of the following
week she may recall her health pro,
gram and yirtuously down another
quart of milk.

Whether you’re skinny or whether
you’re fat, child of Aunt Agnes, don’t
do anything rash. Have brainstorms
over the little indicator on the scales
if you have to, but remember the little
girl who said,

“T had to be weighed the other day
And it felt so funny to see
That in all the millions of tons on
earth
There are such a few pounds on me!”

Dr. Morgan Delivers
Inspiring Addresses

Dr. Frank Crosley Morgan delivered
a series of lectures last week, to the
college community, that was both in-
spiring and delightful. The first morn-
ing his message was some personal
words about the Master. It was in
the nature of his own testimony, and
the personality of Dr. Morgan made
this a very personal appeal. He said,
that as a boy, Christ had first been to
him a Hero, then his Companion, his
Lord, the Saviour, and finally his God.
In knowing Him thus, Peace and Joy
came to him, Dr. Morgan said.

On Wednesday, Thursday and Fri-
day mornings, Dr. Morgan gave the
plan of the program which Christ has
for the world—in which “the desert
shall blossom like the rose.” It is an
adequate program—one which we are
commanded to follow. This plan pro-
vides that we go, and enroll all the
world as students, that the nations
may learn of Him. Secondly, it com-
mands to baptise them into the name
of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
and third, teaching them to observe
all things that Christ has commanded.
It is the program of Jesus in consider-
ation of the needs of the world, and in
summary, it is the process of Revela-
tion, Reconciliation and Rearticulation,
Or in the words of the world it is a
program of Repentence, Faith and
Works.

On Saturday, he gave an illustration
of all that had been considered. It was
the story of the woman with the ala-
baster box of ointment, which she gave
as a love-offering to Jesus. Her story
contains all the three elements which
are the program which Christ uses in
His dealings with individuals. And as
Christ says to her, so He says to all
of humanity, “I am with you all the
days”—“thy sins are forgiven, go into
peace.”

“Our tendency toward the speeding
up of life is so great that the psy-
chologists picture a coming generation
in which the normal half will be tak-
ing care of the neurasthenic half of
the population.”—Hygeia.

“In the present day, and especially
among women, one would almost sup-
pose that health was a state of un-
| natural existence.” — Disraeli. — Hy-

Views and Interviews

Being a real admirer of that sylph-

dike figure and also an emaciated

tooth-pick, I, inspired by this Health
Week, endeavored to do some real re-
search—like Miss Mac—and discover
how some curved lines might be de-
veloped from straight ones, to eluci-
date, how I might obtain a Joan Craw-
ford-like form.

I first went to Alice Jernigan, for I
thought her scintillating intellect
might have some secret information,
but she acknowledged absolute ignor-
ance, saying, “I don’t know; I haven’t
one” (meaning a figure).

From her remark, I naturally con-
cluded that to know how to get that
sylph-like figure, you must have one.
With radiant face and blithe heart, I
rushed to Bee, for she, of course,
would know. But when I asked her—
oh miseri-corde—she chuckled and pro-
fessed that she did not understand
me. Thereupon, from the depths of
my despair, I said, “I mean a figure
like yours, Bee.” But Bee only chort-
led and said, “I haven’t any ‘figger,’ ”

Skid was no more enlightening; she
seemed to think that a slim—but not
underweight—graceful form was an
innate tendency and not an acquired
trait. (She is a psych major.)

Peggy Lou, with her enviable
curves, affirmed that her sylph-like
figure was the result of not eating.

Charlotte Hunter hinted at some
mysterious charm or magic, the secret
of which she could not disclose, but
she did say that she thought a third
floor corner room might reduce a
“greater Agnes Scott.”

Almost hopeless I went to Margaret
Ogden, but instead of having my prob-
lem solved, I met dissolution, for she
claimed that my longed-for ideal was
obtained only temporarily — when
forced by the picture-taking machine
——by strange contortions.

Now be-fuddled and doubting all I
have heard, I turn with faint hope to
the famous bottled sunshine.

Alabama Glee Club

Saturday night, February 9, at eight

which was very good, consisted of the
following selections:

Part first:

«xere’s to the Colors of Crimson-
White—Ludebuehl.

(a) String Trio—Arranged.

(b) Bring a Torch, Jeannette, Isa-
bella—Old French Carol.

Piano: (a) Scotch Poem—Mac-
Dowell.

(b) Juba, from “In the Bottoms’—
Dett. Mr. Nichols.

(a) Blue Are Her Eyes—Wintter
Watts.

(b) From the Land of the Sky Blue

Some of the numbers, string trio,
banjo solo, piano solos, xylophone solo,
“Shipmates o’ Mine,” and the quartet,
were outstanding in quality. The har-
mony which the boys achieved in the
negro spiritual and other choruses was
remarkable. The one novelty of the
evening was a clog dance, a terpsicho-
rean trifle, and this was done in a very
clever style. As a whole the program
was one of consistent interest, and was
enjoyed by all those who attended.

Trainer Tells How
Men Are Kept Fit

Placards Show Jackets How
Enlarged Craniums Have
Been Punctured.

(Note—the following article re-
printed from The Athletic Journal is
an interesting one, written by Coach
Harold Barron, trainer of the Georgia
Tech football team and track and field
coach at the school. Coach Barron,
writing on “Hurling Ideas for the
Athletes to Catch and Hold,” tells of
the unique method at Tech in getting
the men on the athletic teams to ob-
serve the fundamental principles of
treatment of injuries.)

By HAROLD E. BARRON
Trainer and Track Coach of Georgia
Tech

In the shower room at Georgia Tech
was a placard, “Which would you
rather wear, the shin guard or the
crutch?” Beside this ecard hung a shin
guard and a crutch. The training room
staff had become impatient with re-
peating, to injured athletes, “You
should have put on a guard the first
time you were hurt.” They had be-
come resentful over having to treat an
injury that had received “several licks
on the same spot.”

“Charley-Horse Number One, Im-
properly Treated Because Not Report-
ed Until the Next Day,” was the head-
line over a cartoon of a horse, weeping
as an abused horse might weep if he
could. Then followed the explanation
of the importance of reporting, im-
mediately after practice, the “hard,
unexpected blow on the legs, received
when the muscles were relaxed.” The
proper treatment of that Charley-
horse stiffness of the thigh muscle was
pointed out,

Coach Alexander had suggested that
knee injuries, during scrimmage, would
be less frequent if the players stood
and ran with the knees slightly bent.
An illustrated sheet entitled, “Your
Knees, How to Keep Them on the
Job,” explained this safer way to
stand.

“The Little Blow With the Big Wal-
lop” was the headline intended to en-
tice the athletes to read that, “The
cool breeze that merely wafts against
the back of your neck, may bring on
a damaging cold that will put you in
worse shape than a hard lick on the
legs. The blow that causes a tight,
hard muscle is restricted to one area.
The cold that catches you, takes you
down all over. The Charley shrivels
up a little every day; the cold is more
likely to grow stronger with age.” In-
structions were then given as to the
best way to avoid a cold, followed by
treatment suggested to keep a cold
from gaining an advantage.

Self-satisfaction and swelled heads
on the varsity squad were kept down
by Coach Alexander in his own pol-
ished but determined manner. The
army of managers and scrubs who
might nurse an exaggerated opinion of
the team’s prowess was offered an
especial deflating article.

This was the adaptation of Bruce
Barton’s article, “Which Knew Not
Joseph.” It was changed to read, “A
New Day Which Knew Not Yester-
day.” An illustration of a cherub
lighting a lamp served in the layout.
The copy was, “You think that you
have won big games and therefore
your task is done. I tell you that
overnight a New World has been born
that has never heard of you. A little
slackening of effort, a little moment
of self-satisfaction and all the momen-
tum gained by a year’s work is lost.

“For the world moves faster today
than ever before in its history. And
even the very instant of your self-
content the silence is shattered by the
trampling of new feet.

“Behold, another generation has
come, a new king who knows no prece-
dents, in whose experience nothing is
fixed. A king in whose sight yester-
day has been cold a thousand years
and in whose sight is seen so intensely
an enemy defeat that it is already al-
most a fact.”

“It Might Happen to the Other Fel-
low, But It Will Not Happen to Us,”
was the headline that overtopped a
cartoon of a famous eastern team fall-
ing in defeat before a smaller college.
The copy expressed the fact that “The
greatest cause of accidents,” according
to a chemistry professor, “is the be-
lief held by people that trouble will

Oh fine and fat was Ralph the rat,
And his eye was clear cold gray.
How mournful that he ate less fat
As day succeeded day.
Till he found each cornea daily
hornier,
Lacking its Vitamin A,
“T missed my Vitamin A, my dears,”
That rat was heard to say.
“And you'll find your eyes will

If you miss your Vitamin A.”

Now polished rice is extremely nice

But Arbuthnot Lane remarks with

strike the other fellow, while we can
take a chance and misfortune will pass
us by.”

The results as noted in and around
the training room seemed to be that
shin guards became popular, Charley-
horse treatments were started the day
the injuries were received, cuts were
presented for a dab of iodine or
mercurochrome and most of the
bruises received the hot water treat-
ment on time.

Only the surface has been scratch-
ed, compared to what might be ac-
complished with this technique.

It seems that the technique is really
that of selling ideas to college youth.
You must talk to the athlete in his
own language. He must feel your hand
on his shoulder, as it were, as a com-
rade and your words must bespeak
sincere friendship. You are competing
with movie signs, sporting headlines
and stories and the commodities of the
commercial world. Your signs must
be as catchy as theirs and offer some-
thing that the student feels that he
can use. You must say what you
have to say and having done that, you
must stop.

“A chill is nature’s way of teaching
a lazy man to shimmy.”—Hygeia.

“I want some hot poppered butt
corn—I mean cob buttered hop corn—
that is corn hottered pop butt, or
rather hop cuttered pop horn, I mean

to keep to a diet of sea food.

THE AGONISTIC

GOSSUP

Giddy, my dear,

I really wanted so much to talk to
you about Valentines, but I’m not sup-
posed to mention anything but health
for a whole week. I have very good
ideas on the subject—such as adjourn-
ing gym and letting everybody rest—
but I hardly think it would be tactful
to air them. Specially after Chopin
told me I was bad as the Scotchman
who wouldn’t be an athlete ’cause he’d
have to loosen up his joints, (No,
Giddy, you don’t have to laugh at
Scotch jokes any more.

But even if it is laziness, I do envy
Martha Riley Selman. Why, Giddy,
she has five classes every other day,
but on Tuesday, Thursday and Sat-
urday she has nothing to do but sleep.
Can you think of anything grander?
Her Otis sent her such a pretty Valen-
tine (I just can’t stay off the subject).

For you know, Giddy, it is unfortun-
ate they would try to have health
week the sarne week as Valentine Day.

As a friend of mine remarked, think |
of the people who may have heart!

trouble after the mail comes Thurs-
day—! But speaking of mail—the
funniest thing I’ve heard (about ma-il,
Giddy) is Louise Thomas’ correspond-
ence. On the train, Christmas, a man
saw her on her way to meet her in-
laws-to-be, and developed a great in-
terest in her affair, So, not long ago,
Helon got a letter to the president of
the Senior class, and a note to please
vive it to the beautiful girl who lives
in Main, who’s father was an Army
officer, and who was a Senior at Agnes
Scott. He asked her to please let him
know if she liked Dick’s family (he
offered no alternative in case she didn’t
—even tactfully but hastily explained
that he was married and had a little
girl thirteen years old). Anyway,
they’re going to send the little girl
an Agnes Scott catalogue.

Any girl should be proud to get a
catalogue from a school like this—with
such a fine representation at Pan-
Hellenic the other night. It was es-
pecially fruitful for Estelle Moye—she

came back with a lovely Kappa Sig
pin. But as Socrates says, an Arab
can live on dates alone, but a college
student can’t (I am sorry, Giddy. I
realize puns are very lowbrow). But
let me suggest chewing gum as a
healthy habit—it gives as much exer-
cise as a gym class, and frequently (if
you chew two pieces) keeps you from
reciting in class. Miss Jackson says
she found it very soothing to the
nerves, the only time she ever chewed
it —to amuse the debaters the time she
took them to Vassar.

But as a model healthy girl, I recom-
mend Leu Robertson. She’s so afraid
she'll catch cold by changing that she
sleeps one week in the breeches to her
outing pajamas and the coat to the
cotton ones, and vice versa the next
week. It’s very convenient, especially
if you have two pair of pajamas. But,
Giddy, in all your sleeping, remember
this: “An airtight dwelling leads but
to the grave.”

So, yours for more air—so long as
"tis not hot air.

Lovingly,
Aggie.

Junior Chamber of
Commerce Putting
On Health Program

Agnes Scott is not the only place in
this vicinity to have a Health Week.
The Atlanta papers have been full of
one that the Junior Chamber of Com-
merce is going to launch in April.
From all indications it is to be a huge
affair, and exhibits are to be held in
the auditorium. We hope this pro-
gressive group of men will have as
much fun as we do and that their ef-
forts will be as far-reaching as they
hope.

SOCIETY

Shoulders up, chest out, toes for-
ward, deep breathing, milk instead of
coffee for breakfast; plenty of fresh
air, exercise, and green vegetables;
no eating between meals—and so far,
far into Health Week! And those lazy,
anemic, disagreeable-looking speci-
mens of collegiate life who used to
spend all their time either poring
over dry old books in the library or
drinking dope after dope up at Little
Dee have blossomed into vigorous,
healthy, athletic types of womanhood.
A change unheard of and never before
occurring in the history of man has
been brought about in one short little
week and on our own dear campus. At
present everyone is all thrilled over
the Bathing Beauty Contest which
rivals that of Atlantic City and is oh,
so much fun. Numerous speculations
are being made as to who our 1929
Venus will be but only time will tell,
and that particular time is Friday
night.

In the meantime this A-1 healthi-
ness of ours has allowed us to lead a
sure ‘nuf social life, too. Many are
the week-end s out, tea room parties,
visitors, etc.—more fun, more people
thrilled—just read about it and be con-
vinced.

THE AGONISTIC

THE RIGHTFUL PLACE
OF SUGAR IN THE DIET

The pseudo-scientist and the food
faddist have so clouded the proper
place of sugar in the diet that we re-
cently asked an eminent food scientist
to clarify the whole question.

“Sugar has five distinct uses in the
diet,” he said. “A conserver of foods,
a flavoring substance, a satiation fac-
tor, a staple fuel, and an emergency
fuel.”

He showed that sugar as a conserver
is utilized in the preparation of many
food products, especially fruits. He
discussed the consumption of fruit as
related to sugar as a flavorer. “One
of the most praiseworthy develop-
ments of the modern diet,’’ he said,
“Ties in the expansion of the use of
fresh fruits. This expansion has been
contingent on the free availability of
sugar.”

The scientist discussed the use of
sugar in desserts, as a satiation fac-
tor. “Topping off a meal with a sweet
dessert,” he said, “gives a sense of
satiation. This sense of satiation is an
important item in the diet.”

“As a staple food,” he pointed out,
“sugar ranks with starch. The differ-
ence in fuel value between starch and
sugar per gram of dried material is
very slight. Sugar is more rapidly di-
gested than starch; otherwise they are
entirely comparable fuels.”

He discussed the proportion desired
to be contributed by cereals, sugar,
fats, oils and meats. He said, “The
place of sugar among the fuel foods
depends upon consumers’ desires with-
in the general domain of fuel foods.
We are a sugar-loving people; there-
fore we rate sugar high and consume
it freely in many forms.”

“The use of sugar as an emergency
fuel,” he went on to say, “depends
upon its rapid resorption. The process
of resorption is so rapid that sugar
appears in the muscles (the fire-box of
the body) within a few minutes after
ingestion. Practical experience has
confirmed experiment in this regard.”

He went on to show that overweight
is not due to sweets alone. “When
the dietary habits of overweight in-
dividuals are scrutinized, it will be
found that sugar is the foodstuff
gorged by some, starches by others,
fats and oils by others, and meats by
others. Directly speaking, the
average increase in body weight can-
not be attributed to increase in intake
of sugar or any other single food-
stuff. re

There has been so much dietary
misstatement, and so much injury re-
sulting from it, that medical and scien-
tile authorities are beginning to in-
struct the public to eat enough. Learn
the value of sugar for making nearly
all healthful foods palatable and en-
joyable. The Sugar Institute, 129

Alumnae News

Polly Stone Visits

Miss Polly Stone, our alumnae secre-
tary, spent the week of February 4th
visiting the high schools of several of
Alabama’s largest cities.

Her plan of visiting the high school
in the morning and the Agnes Scott
Alumnae Club in the afternoon was
carried out very successfully. Her trip
included Anniston, Birmingham,
Selma, Mobile, and Montgomery.
number of social affairs given in her
honor by the alumnae clubs made her
trip very delightful.

After the new year is well on its
way—and this girl settles down to a
long semester of research and that
girl decides on a life-long vocation of
teaching the almnae editor begins to
feel desperate. But not for long—be-
cause these Agnes Scotters are always
doing the unexpected. My column is
never empty for we certainly have go-
getters and come-hithers among our
number,

Ruth MeMillan, ’27, beeame Mrs.
Roy Sexton Jones at high noon Satur-
day, January 19, at the North Avenue
Presbyterian Church of Atlanta. Sarah
Smith, ’26, rendered a program of nup-
tial musie preceding the ceremony. The
groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. S.
W. Jones of College Park. He is a
graduate of the University of Geor-
gia law school. I bet Ruth was a love-
ly bride, she was even beautiful at the
early hour of seven o’clock over Agnes
Scott “grits.”

At

Southeastern Citi-
zenship Confer-
ence at Emory

The second annual session of the
Southeastern Citizenship Conference
will be held at Emory University, Feb-
ruary 12-16. The purpose of the con-
ference is to stimulate a wider and
more intelligent interest in public af-
fairs. An unusually able staff of lec-
turers has been procured. Among
those who will speak are: Dr. Walter
F. Dodd of Yale, Dr. Walther Merck,
lecturer at Hamburg University, and
chairman of the National Committee
on Education in Germany, Hon. An-
tonio S. deBustamante, a judge of the
World Court and professor of inter-
national law at the University of
Havana, Dr. Edwin Mims of Vander-
bilt, Hon. Amadios Th. Polyzoides,
; editor of the Atlantis, New York City,
and Dr, Edward J. Woodhouse of the
University of North Carolina.

A copy of the program for these
meetings has been posted on the
bulletin board in Main. All those stu-
dents desiring to attend any of the
meetings may sign their names on a
| paper posted in Main. Transportation
will be provided by Emory.

One of the features of the Confer-
ence is to be a model constitutional
convention presented by Agnes Scott
and Emory students under the super-
vision of Dr. C. B. Gosnell of Emory,
assisted by Dr. Davidson of Agnes
Scott. This will be held in the Emory
University Auditorium on February
14, from 3:30 to 5:30. At this meet-
ing, which is supposed to be a con-

la new constitution for the state of
Georgia, the model constituion pro-
posed and advocated by the Georgia
League of Women Voters will be pro-
posed, certain parts of it debated on,
and finally adopted by the convention.
The object of this part of the program
is not only to give the students train-
ing in parliamentary procedure, but
to bring to the attention of Georgia
the need for a new constitution.

Dr. Davidson’s American Govern-
ment class and Emory political science
students will be the chief participants
in the convention. The general pro-
gram is as follows:

1. Address of welcome by the Gov-
ernor of Georgia—Ben Warren.

2. Report of the committee on cre-
dentials—W. W. Tumlin.

3. Election of a permanent chair-

man.
4. Acceptance speech of permanent
chairman—Glenn W. Rainey.

5. Report of the committee on rules
and proceedure—Charlotte Hunter.

6. Adoption of the Bill of Rights.

7. Debate on Legislative Reform,
the Unicameral Plan, led by Martha
Stackhouse and Clarence Stauffer.

8. Debate on Iniative and Referen-
dum, led by Eleanor Lee Norris, R. 8.
McDuffie, J. L. Harrington and Eliz-
abeth Hatchett.

9, Debate on Administrative Reor-
ganization, led by Robert Elliot and
J. R. Bruce,

10. Adoption of the
articles.

sionary from Brazil.

5. “A Korean Youth’s Challenge to
Volunteers,” by Mr. Chen, Korean stu-
dent at Emory.

6. “The Color Line,” a play present-
ing racial problems.

7. “The Student Volunteer Move-
ments’ Place in the Missionary Task,”
by Harry Bryan of Columbia Theolog-
ical Seminary.

8 “The Need for Missionaries,”
Jessie R. Wilson.

9. “Sons of Light,” Jessie R. Wil-

son.
10. “The Challenge of the Task to
Me,” two students, Annie Moore

Daugherty and Herbert Gorsuch.

11, “The Acts Experience,” Jessie

In addition to this very full and in-
spiring program there will be devo-
tionals led by the student members.

11. Adjournment.

The Governor of Georgia will call
the meeting to order, and will preside
as temporary chairman. Betty Gash

will serve as secretary of the conven- |

tion.

It is hoped that many students will
be able to attend the various meetings
of the conference which promises to be
interesting as well as instructive.

Day Student News | French Club

At a recent meeting the day stu-
dents’ plans for raising money for the
page in the annual were discussed. It
was finally decided to assess each girl
a small sum, and let this go towards
the page. Each girl is urged to pay
this to Lois Combs immediately. It
was also decided that sometime this
spring we would entertain the college
community. Frances Spencer was se-
lected to represent us in the Posture
Contest during Health Week.

Fat ladies—hark ye! Have you seen
the new article of our modern civiliza-
tion right here on the campus? It is
quite an interesting looking thing—
only nobody seems to be very intelli-
gent as to how it is run. (The gym
department says it knows.) However,
it is a reducing machine and has many
devices for the chasing off of fat
globules. We have been promised that
it will soon be operating and one and
all may use it—that is if you tip the
scales very heavily. The advertise-
ments say its powers of reducing are
great (we’re from Missouri), and we
anxiously await its installation and
opening. Watch for notices announc-
ing it.

On Tuesday, February 5, the French
Club and about twenty members of
French classes went to Emory to hear
M. Michenot, who has been sent to
France to lecture to the Alliances
Francaises of the United States. He
spoke on the two great French come-
dians, Coquelin and Bejart. First he
told little intimate things about their
lives, and then gave selections from
some of the plays in which they had
acted. The one from “Cyrano de
Bergerac about M. de Bergerac’s nose,
was especially entertaining, Although
no one understood every word M.
Michenot said, everyone thoroughly
enjoyed his lecture.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, G A., WEDNESD AY,

FEBRUARY 20, 1929

FOUNDER'S DAY IS TO BE
CELEBRATED AT COLLEGE,

Feb. 22 Transplants A. S. C.
to Colonial Times—Hoop-
ed Skirts and Powdered
Wigs in Evidence.

Again February 22nd has loomed
upon the horizon and Friday night
everything modern will be laid aside,
and Agnes Scott will be athrill with a
colorful celebration of the eighties.

Tt is Founder’s Day and George
Washington’s birthday, which means
for us a holiday! However, our holi-
day is due not to the birth of “The
Father of Our Country” but to the
fact that the “Father of Our College”
was born on that date.

George Washington Scott, the
fourth child of John and Agnes Scott,
was born in Alexandria, Pa., on Febru-
ary 22, 1829, He came south when
he was.a very young man, because of
his health. He made short stays in
Atlanta, Griffin and Columbus; and
then visited in southern Alabama. He
moved to Quiney, Fla., for a year
and went to Tallahassee in 1850. “It
is interesting to note that he was one
of the first Florida investors, prospect-
ing heavily and successfully in the
Florida phosphate mines.

In 1854 he married Miss Rebecca
Bucher, also a Pennsylvanian by birth.
From 1870 to 1876 he lived in Sayan-
nah, where he engaged in the factor-
age and commission business. After
leaving Savannah he moved to At-
lanta and became a member of a local
commercial fertilizer firm. In 1877
he settled in Deeatur, where he lived
for twenty-six years.

Colonel Scott won his title in the
Revolutionary War where he served

as Lieutenant-General of the famous |

“Do We Need
A New God?”

Peggy Lou Armstrong Talks
At Vespers.

The topic announced for vespers:
“Dio We Need a New God?” attracted
the attention of many of us. Peggy
Lou Armstrong, speaking as an in-
dividual college student, gave an an-
swer and interpretation of the ques-

tion which was both interesting and |

satisfying. She brought out at first
the fact that at college most of us
develop our first individual conception
of God: what God’s nature is and what
our relations to Him should be. She

continued developing her subject along |

the following lines. There is no one
avenue to God. We must, however,
have a real desire to know Him. We
must not accept God passively as we
are inclined to accept our material sur-
roundings and even our friends. We

must have some conception of God}

which is our very own. Mr. Gibran in
“The Prophet” says, “and even as each
of you stands alone in God’s knowl-
edge, so must each one of you be
alone in his knowledge of God.” We
will always feel that our finite concep-
tion is inadequate but we shall have
a “growing knowledge of God.”

We may find God as the creator of
the physical world.

“J need not shout my faith. Thrice
eloquent

Are quiet trees and the green listen-
ing sod;

Hushed are the stars, whose power is
never spent
The hills are mute:
speak of God!”

Alumnae Wins
Singular Honor

Miss Juanita Greer Awarded
Johns Hopkins’ Fel-
lowship.

Of sincere interest to the college
community and Agnes Scott Alumnae
is the announcement of the honor
which has been bestowed upon Juanita
Greer of the class of ’25, who has been
doing graduate work at Johns Hopkins
University. Miss Greer is the daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Greer, of
Park Avenue, Atlanta. She was a day
student and a chemistry major. She
is favorably remembered for her ex-
ceptional work, which was acknowl-
edged when she was elected to Phi
Beta Kappa, the year in which the
chapter was first installed here. The
year after graduation Juanita entered
Johns Hopkins to do advance work in
chemistry. She selected the field of
physieal chemistry in which to special-
ize. At the end of her first year there
she was awarded a scholarship which
enabled her to pursue her studies for
another year. She did not stop at the
end of her second year to take the
examinations for her M. A. degree, as
is usually the custom, but continued
her efforts in trying to perfect a pro-
cess by which dry glass can be made.
It seems that success in such an en-
terprise would greatly ‘increase the

durability of glass and affect a revolu- |

tion in the glass industry. Miss Greer

had done such excelein Work in this |
| direetion that her name was entered

for the Boston Alumnae Fellowship
awarded by the American Association
of University Women. There are al-
ways several hundred applications for

‘the scholarship since it carries with it
}in addition to the honor, a sum of

$1,000. Her efforts were recognized
by the reward of the scholarship. This
to continue her re-

in June.

Speaks on International Re-
lations Viewed from the
Press Gallery.

One of the most delightful experien-
ees the college has had this year was
in hearing Mrs. Percy V. Pennybacker
lecture here on Monday night, Febru-
ary 11. Mrs. Pennybacker’s lecture
had a double interest in that it ade-
quately portrayed existent conditions
internationally, and at the same time
gave intimate glimpses of the speak-
er’s very charming personality.

Throughout the lecture Mrs. Penny-
backer made a plea for tolerance, an
understanding that can come only
after careful study and exact knowl-
edge of present-day international! rela-
tions. This spirit of tolerance is much
more evident in Huropeans than in
Americans, and it is clearly our duty
to make a more careful examination
of conditions before we pass judgment
on any of the European powers or on
the part we played in the World War,

like qualities in individuals, most often
in our friends. We may learn of God
from books, from conversations, from
sermons.

The most adequate way to find God
is to learn of Christ as His revelation
clearly portrayed in the Bible. Philip
said unto Him, “Lord, show us the
Father and it sufficeth us.” Jesus

thou then, show us the Father In
studying the Bible we must have a
new method. Our familiarity with the
material may even prevent our getting
its full meaning. We must study
earnestly, seeking to find true revela-
tions of God and our relation to Him.

Another way of enlarging our con-
ception of God is through prayer.
“Prayer is a poor reliance if one is
mainly intent on managing the ex-
ternal world. That is not the realm
where prayer operates.” “Wherein,

are the needs, the values of
prayer? Deep within the foundations
of human nature itself. The deepest
‘needs of a human being are answered
in a real and growing companionship
with God! No one can fulfil herself
without relationships, and the greater
shares life, the more complete the ful-
fillment. Hence the impossibility of
complete self-realization without
knowing God.’—Dolooah Burner:
“Life and I.”

“MAKES FIRST
ANNOUNCEMENT OF YEAR

\Blizabeth Hatehett, Gene-
vieve Knight and Eleanor
Lee Norris Recognized as
Leaders.

On Saturday morning, February
16th, three new members from the
Senior class were announced by Phi
Beta Kappa. Those who have been
called to share the realization of the
task and interpret the ideals of the
order are: Elizabeth Hatchett, Gene-

tlie =r
vieve Knight and Eleanor Lee Norris.

After the academic procession, Miss
Alexander, president of the local
chapter, took charge of the exercises.
She spoke of the fact that in these
post-war times of unrest, discontent
with our present institutions, and a
general restatement of ideals, the col-
lege was coming in for more than its
share of criticism. But from the
shortcomings of the college, whatever
they may be, there has arisen one pre-
vailing conviction—that the college
exists for scholarships. In the past
eighteen months it has been interest-
ing to note in the reports from student

; conventions and assemblies that the

general tendency is to recognize this
ideal of scholarship. Phi Beta Kappa
is based on the fact that wisdom is
the guiding principle of life, and mem-
bership in it is a recognition of high
scholarship, a manifestation of high
character, and a love of the college.

In this, the second century of its
existence, Phi Beta Kappa is still the
oldest and largest order of its kind.
It was founded in 1776 by a group of
five students at the College of Wil-
liam and Mary. It now numbers more
than one hundred chapters. In 1875
membership was offered to women

Interview With
Miss Health

Virginia Sears Possesses the
Ideal Agnes Scott Posture.

The Student Government Associa-
tion of Agnes Scott is certainly a
healthy organization if Virginia Sears,
or Miss Health for 1929, is a fair rep-
resentative. I sought her out after
the contest Friday evening, thinking
that I might discover some of her
health secrets and pass them on to
the campus at large. She was settled
in the library all prepared to do Satur-
day’s assignments, which proves that
she is a studious specimen as well as
a healthy one! Her embarrassment
at the thought of being interviewed
was entirely refreshing.

“T still don’t see why I won!” she
kept repeating, while that lovely tinge
which so becomes her spread over her
face. “Why, because you deserved it
most assuredly,” I informed her. But
she was never whole-heartedly con-
vinced,

Virginia has undoubtedly all of the
attributes which every college girl
longs for, She is pretty, ineluding
| hair, eyes, teeth, smile; she has that
much sought for A posture; she walks
jnieely; she dances beautifully; and
above all she is the original picture of
health.

“And you must reveal your secrets
to the world,” I insisted. “The campus
is absolutely dying to know how you
manage it. Of course we know you
drink much water, sleep many hours,
eat plenty of vegetables, and wear
low-heeled oxfords: But what else?”

By this time Virginia was complete-
ly overcome and was capable only of
her very nicest smile and many varie-
ties of giggles. She told me nothing
specific except that she loved to dance
and was sure it made one strong and
| healthy.

Fashion is a phenomenon of social
psychology. Companionship is a de-
sire to be with people of the same
taste, and it naturally follows that one
wants to appear, and look like one’s
associates, and style is a characteristic
method of expression. Fashion at any
time is the style that has been accept-
ed and adopted by a number of people.
Styles constantly change, some rapid-
ly, some slowly. Mode is a synonym
for fashion. A fad is merely a minia-

Among the new sunburn shades are

N.S. F. A. Entertains
Visiting Students

The National Student Federation of
America has had the privilege during
the month of January of showing some
of the outstanding features of Ameri-
can life to a group of visiting students
from another continent. On January
5th, thirty-seven students from South
Africa arrived in New York to spend a
month of their long summer vacation
in the United States.

The Foreign Relations and Travel
Office of the N. S. F. A. had com-
plete management of their trip and
undertook to make all arrangements
for railroads, hotel Soe ORAS A)
meals, and entertainment for the}
party. Their itinerary included eight

universities. They were given dinner
parties by the Institute of Inter-
national Education, the Anson Phelps
Stokes Foundation; they were enter-
tained privately in the homes of Amer-
ican students and they were given
numerous receptions.

Of English, French, and Dutch
descent, these students fitted easily
into American life. Their especial in-
terests in America were first of all in
the colleges and universities they visit-
ed. They saw Columbia University,
Barnard College, American University,
Catholic University (Washington, D.
C.), Annapolis, Universities of Chi-
cago, Northwestern University, Michi-
gan, Buffalo, Toronto, McGill Uni-
versity, University of Montreal, Har-
vard, Wellesley, Vassar, Yale and
West Point. Their second interest was

THE AGONISTIC

Constitutional Con-
vention at Emory

Is Held By Political Science
Classes.

A few weeks ago, the Governor of
Georgia—alias Mr. Ben Warren of
Emory—teeling the need for adminis-
trative reorganization of the state, is-
sued a call for delegates of the several
counties to meet as a constitutional
convention on February 14 at Emory
University.

On the appointed day the convention
convened with every county represent-
ed by good and competent delegates.
These delegates had evidently received
explicit instructions from their elec-

days in New York City, visits to|in meeting people and discussing |torate, for they proceeded at once to

Washington, D. C., Chicago, Detroit,
Buffalo, Toronto, Montreal and Boston,
and short excursions to Annapolis and
Baltimore, Ann Arbor, Niagara Falls,
Vassar College, West Point, and Yale
University. In each city visited a local
committee met the party, provided
them with American student guides,
and entertained them at universities,
museums, factories.

One of the most unusual features of
the tour was the large amount of
hospitality given to the visiting stu-
dents. They were entertained at

American life with the many families
they visited. Their third interest was
in the “big business” of the United
States, examples of which they saw
in the Stock Exchange, a “talking”

movie company, an automobile plant,

the Stock Yards, a large department

store, etc.

Our South African guests, number-
ing 25 women and 12 men, were most

enthusiastic over the United States.
They sailed on February 5th to Eng-
land where they will spend ten days
before returning to South Africa. This

act. The flawlessness and the speed
with which the matters of importance
were attended to was amazing.

After the convention had been called
to order by the temporary chairman,
Governor Warren delivered a very ex-
cellent welcome address in which he
encouraged the delegates as citizens of
Georgia to give the state a constitu-
tion as good if not better than that of
any other state. The cumbersomeness
of the present document and the dire
need for reform were strongly empha-
sized,

Following the welcome address the
report of the Committee on Creden-
tials was submitted by the chairman,
Mr. W. N. Tumlin. The next point of
business was the election of a per-
manent chairman. Mr. Glenn W.
Rainey, who was quite well known to
the delegates, was elected by acclama-
tion. His acceptance address was a
further call for reorganization—an-

under the auspices of the N. S. F. A.,
and through the co-operation of the

America are members. This is one
more method of promoting interna-
tional understanding among the youth

Alumnae to Hold
Annual Banquet

The second annual Founder’s Day
banquet and radio program of the At-
lanta Agnes Scott club will be given
Friday, February 22, at 6:30 o’clock
in the Pompeian room of the Biltmore.
Mrs. J. Sam Guy is general chairman
of the celebration, and is putting into
effect many plans that assure success
for this entertainment.

Dr. J. R. MeCain and Miss Nannette
Hopkins will each give a short talk
during the evening and the college
glee club will broadcast several num-
bers. Mrs. L. K. Starr and Mrs. J. C.
Blalock are the chairmen of all pub-
licity; Mrs. Stephen Barnett is chair-
man of the reception committee; Miss
Polly Stone, national alumnae secre-
tary, is in charge of the program; Mrs.
H. Grady Brooks and Mrs. Stockton
Hume are chairmen of the telephone
committee, and Miss Alice Green and
Mrs. Robert McFarland, Jr., are in
charge of the invitations.

other statement of the urgent need of
Georgia. Chairman Rainey then called
for a report of the committee on Rules
and Procedure, and the chairman, Miss
Charlotte Hunter, responded very
promptly, in order that the delegates
might proceed at once to the principal
business of the session.

The content of the proposed consti-
tution was quite well known to all of
the delegates, so that they could act
without any descriptive or narrative
preliminaries. The first motion was for
the adoption of articles 1-12, that is
the Bill of Rights. The motion re-
ceived a unanimous aye yote. The sec-
tions dealing with the unicameral plan
were given attention next. Motion
was made and seconded to adopt the
sections as they stand, but there was
opposition and debate followed. Miss
Martha Stackhouse opposed the uni-
cameral plan and proposed the
bicameral system. She was opposed
in debate by Mr. Stauffer, who upheld
the unicameral plan. The plan pro-
posed by Miss Stackhouse was ulti-
mately adopted.

A debate on the initiative and refer-
endum followed the motien for its
adoption. Miss Bleanor Lee Norris
and Mr. McDuffie opposed, Mr. Har-
rington and Miss Elizabeth Hatchett
upheld the motion. The vote went 22
to 8 in favor of the motion. The short
vs. the long ballot gave occasion for
the next debate. Mr. Elliot opposed
the short ballot in a noble and well
thought out address. He was opposed
by Mr. Bruce who favored simplifica-
tion of ballot. The motion went in
favor of the short ballot.

The remaining articles of the consti-
tution were adopted without question,
and the delegates adjourned with the
hope that the electorate whom they
represented would favor the work they
had done.

Yale Rally Fails

Can it be that American under-
graduates are at last coming to realize
the unimportance of being earnest
about a football victory? We were
moved to that hope when the news
came from New Haven that only 500
out of 5,000 students at Yale had at-
tended a football rally to create en-
thusiasm for the Yale-Harvard game.
We wonder if the loyal tenth were
miserable, cringing freshmen who
came because they were afraid to stay
away. On the platform before vast
stretches of empty seats a famous
football coach waved his arms and
talked gloomily about the Yale spirit.
Out on the campus and in the stu-
dents’ rooms the repositories of this
divine afflatus moved about their busi-
ness as usual. Perhaps they were
thinking that a victory in shoving,
running, and booting a football scored
by eleven Yale men over eleven Har-
vard men had nothing more to do with
the Yale spirit than a victory by the
White Sox has to do with the spirit of
Chicago. At any rate, they stayed
about from the football rally even
when a band and a parade marched
across the campus to Woolsley Hall in
the attempt to seduce them with
noise,

Start Fox Hunting

Annapolis, Md.—Fox hunting is the
latest sport to be added to the athletic
program of St. Johns’ College stu-
dents were told recently by President
Enoch B. Gary. The board of gover-
nors has obtained a tract of land 150
or more acres in size, which land will
be available for fox hunting by the
students of the college.

Extent of Women in Industry Shown

By the study of this one industry,
one obtains an idea of the extent to
which women are employed. At pres-
ent in the United States there are
eight and one-half million women in
industry. In order to maintain a high
standard it is necessary that laws
governing their position, working
hours and wages, be passed by state ~
legislatures, and considerable effort is .
being expended toward that end.

At the conclusion of the film Mrs.
Anderson, Mrs. Dayton, and Mrs. Ross
took part in the 250th anniversary
celebration at New Paltz were kind
enough to show the students examples
of wool carding, spinning and knitting
as it was done in the time of our
grandparents.

Noted Wit Gives Inside on Humor

Cleveland, Ohio. — “Laughter is
caused by disappointment,” Max East-
man, philosopher, psychologist, and
author told an audience here recently.

“Laughter comes from blocking of
the playful impulses, even as distress
comes from the blocking of the more

| serious impulses,” he said. “In adult

life we find it easier to take playfully
the disappointments of others because
our play instinct does not have the de-
velopment it once had.

“The joke with a point is a bubble
burst, leaving one’s expectations disap-
pointed for a moment until brought to
see some new and delightful sub-
stance which has taken the place of
that originally expected.

“The great humorist is he who sees
a coin in the dust, and trips you sud-
denly so that you fall ingloriously but
in such a position as to find the coin.”

EDITORIAL
LAME DUCKS

The class of ’29 feels itself about to be jerked up by the roots
and rudely transplanted-in strange places. Preparations are being
made for undertakings in which we are as true “lame ducks” of
Agnes Scott as the Congressman who awaits the expiration of his
term on March the fourth! Disinclined as we are to yield our
exalted position of ‘seniority” to another, we find consolation in
realizing that we do bear a responsibility to you as future leaders.
We do not wish to make this a wasting-away of time by mere dally-
ing with “useless legislation”; but a period for the transference
of real truths from those of us who have accumulated through
our four years of experiences to you who will mold the immediate
future of Agnes Scott.

Asa class that finds itself in the role of advisor, we are at first
overcome with our great store of possible counsel. We have de-
termined to take our eyes from the analyzing lens of the spectro-
scope and to view the situation as a whole. In this way we may
be able to sound the keynote of our advice.

First then, we would have you, as the rising leaders of Agnes
Scott College, as unlike the preceding generation as is possible!
Not that you have been blessed with character of a finer caliber,
not that you possess a super-normal amount of intelligence; but
‘that you are in the making and hold in your hand formative and
progressive forces. Being atuned with the creative, out of you is

“bound to come the impetus and the impulse that will lead our

college to larger undertakings and greater successes. An institu-
tion is renewed every year by a perfect flow of unbound originality
and fresh thought. You are the only judge of the program that
you inaugurate. For you are the only one fully in sympathy
with the capacity for originality which signifies each new age.
You are catholic in ideas, comprehensive in beliefs, broadminded
in views and liberal in tastes—and these are the forces that make
for true progress.

Just as your class is not to act as a “yubber-stamp” but as a
source of pure ideas—so each individual must be an open chan-
nel through which undeveloped possibilities will find expression.
The only way our college can be kept ideal is by insuring itself
against suppression of any trend of originality, no matter how
humble or modest it may be. Not a single member should be
deemed obscure, and possibilities of any kind should guarantee
higher levels of development for our college. Anything that
subjugates the individual, anything that blocks the attempts of
originality, any organization that discourages the productivety of
the individual’s mind sounds the death knell of progress!

But change as change is not sufficient in itself. When pro-
gression becomes mere movement true advancement is piteously
defeated. We think immediately of the ancient slave of Rome as
hour after hour he trod the path of the wine-press. Onward—yes,
ever onward, but always he remained within the monotonous
bounds of the small beaten circle. The end of movement must
justify the change. If I should tell you that tomorrow I choose
another college, the change should certainly indicate that I have
carefully weighed and balanced the facts and that I have slowly
and meditatively decided that such a move was absolutely bene-
ficial. Progress, as I have said, contains no good within itself.
There must be wedded closely to any change—improvement. The
directon of our progress is truly as important as the force of our
movement. :

The trend of our course onward can not move hither and
thither. There must be roots that hold us in the right way—a
light that guides us toward a goal. Twenty-one years ago a col-
lege was born—a college which from its beginning issued a chal-
lenge to all who believe in virtuous training for ideal womanhood.
“The purpose which has prevailed at Agnes Scott since its founda-
tion has been to offer the very best educational advantages under
positive Christian influence. . . . It is thus the aim of the College
to send out educated Christian women to be a power in blessing the
world and glorifying God.” There can never be a complete break
with these lofty principles.. The most radical program, if it be
successful must preserve the essentials of our college. The founda-
tion for our building stones must be strong, firm, substantial.
Your task is not to alter the foundations but to build towering
structures—a realization in your own way of the ambitions and
aspirations of a progressive age!

Catherine oi College for Women, is well or-

Clipped

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend
me your eyes if you would know what
goes on in the outside world—not at
large, but in the small, interesting
places called college campuses. For
be the college a large university or a
small college for women it publishes a
paper—sometimes good, sometimes
bad, sometimes indifferent.

The Flambeau, published by Florida

ganized, with a front page that looks
like professional work. The Alumnae
Edition that was published on Febru-
ary 15 contained feature articles about
the Alumnae Association, outstanding
graduates, and the campus as it was
in its infancy. There seems to be a
widespread interest in newspaper
work. The journalism class edited the
issue of the Florida State News for
February 8.

The University of North Carolina
plans to publish the Tar Heel daily
next year. It says:

“The University will have a daily
newspaper next year. Plans will be
hee ies this spring and everything
|made ready for launching the new
publication with the opening of
school.”

Agnes Scott is not the only school
where the four classes publish one is-
sue of the school paper. The Mercer
Cluster says:

“This is the fourth year in which
the different classes of the university
have published issues of The Cluster.
Class issues create a spirit of rivalry
and competition among the classes,
which is permissible and even desir-
able so long as it remains wholesome.”

There was nothing in the Junior
Edition, however, to distinguish it
from any rather listless college paper
except the use of purple ink, which
gave it an insipid appearance.

The Furman University Hornet
would have made a more interesting
appearance if it had had a headline
in large type. “Midnight Fire Razed
Portion of Aged Hall” could have
furnished this headline. The article
contains the following:

“The main building is the oldest
structure on the campus, and is known
throughout the South for its beauty
and picturesqueness, The Furman
president expressed to the student
body his sincere gratitude that no
more damage was done.”

The Emory Wheel is filled with news
ef the Southeastern Citizenship meet.
Of especial interest to us is the model
constitutional meet, in which the gov-
ernment classes of Agnes Scott and
Emory participated jointly. An article
discussing this meet says:

“Glenn Rainey will be chairman of
the convention, while Ben Warren will
play the part of Governor of Georgia.
Miss Betty Gash, of Agnes Scott, will
be secretary of the convention, while
Miss Charlotte Hunter will be chair-
man of the Committee on Rules and
Procedure.”

Ting-a-ling! When this signal is
given in the dining room during the
course of a meal every girl present
knows it means that announcements
will be read. If we were starving and
this were the last meal we would have
in a week the jangling of knives and
forks that go on during the reading of
the announcements would not be so
inexcusable; but hungry as we may be,
we are not starving and the announce-
ments are not read until the middle of
the meal when the deepest pangs of
hunger have been satisfied. Therefore,
to show “common courtesy,” let us
be more considerate and stop eating
for the few moments it takes to have
the announcements read.

And while we are on the subject of
things we should do, let us mention
one we shouldn’t do. We shouldn’t
walk on the grass! Practically every-
one at Agnes Scott takes a pride in
our campus, yet we all walk on the

E. | Hall at 10 o’clock and speak—I wish
you'd say “hello” again at 10:1 if you
happen to see me!

Just to show that this column may
be used for some purpose other than
criticism of campus institutions and
customs, let us try to say a few nice
things. It seems hard for students

H.

We think that the habit of borrow-
ing has gone beyond the limits of this
to break down and compliment people polite eres and deseryes a harsher
and thinga\ ib is<ao mitch: easier to designatioh. And yet it is hard to come
seni out Eat. Our ideals are so high for Agnes Seott
and Hottentots that this is certainly
an uncomfortable subject to discuss.
But just exactly what does it mean
when small articles such as cake after
cake of soap, dozens of pencils, even
fountain pens and library books dis-
appear regularly? When it comes
down to borrowing dresses and never
returning them, the thing has gone
just too far. How about it, Hottentots:
do you like this habit?

Then there is the faculty-student re-
lationship that is always subject to so
much criticism. It is to be commended
here on this campus. There are very
few members of the faculty to whom ;
we do not feel we could go; and it
is nice to feel free to speak to them,
or express our opinions. Of course
there are those few who we feel do not
have any great interest in us as stu-
dents: but the percent is small. In
regard to our administrative officers—
very few college presidents and deans
and registrars make it their custom to
keep the doors of their offices open and |
stop what they are doing to talk with
a student. It is a great help to us to
know that we can turn to these for
advice and encouragement. We hope
this will always be so.

So, you see, there are a lot of things
we like. Try thinking about these,
and you will be surprised how little
there is to criticize.

With Health Week, and all that it
means of fun and competition, just
behind us, there arise to our minds
| visions of various rooms on the cam-
{pus. In fact, you can imagine just
}any room: very few could escape the
epithet “just plain messy.” Oh, yes,
the beds may be made up, and usually
are, if there is any danger of an in-
spection. But the closets, the bureau

Some of our college publications
that sponsor columns of this sort—

Various trains of thought were prob-

Health Week is Received With Enthusiastic Interest at A.S.C.

Sophomores Win Health Contest---Miss Student Government Proclaimed “Miss Health”

Health Week
Is Enjoyed

To some the expression, “Health
Week” at Agnes Scott means an extra
helping of carrots at dinner, and
heeled shoes, or an extra hour’s sleep
squeezed in. To others of us it means
one of the busiest, most active, most
enjoyable weeks of our college career.

Health Week began formally Wed-
nesday morning when Carolyn Nash
announced in chapel that the Athletic
Board would hold “open house” for the
college that night after dinner. Its
inauguration was evidenced during the
day by the G. P. Valentine tags which
were dolled out very scotchily to the
favored few who showed to the dis-
tributor admirable posture and very
flat heels.

Wednesday night all the socially
elite accepted the hearty invitation to

open house extended by the Athletic
Board and retired to the gym. There
ensued what Psychology 311 would
term “high motor activity.” Tumbling,
dancing, and a Fashion Show were the
main events of the occasion. In the
tumbling, each class participated in a
series of “hard knocks” as Zou Wool-
ford mournfully terms them. These
consisted in somersaults, two flying
angels, and a pyramid. The Juniors
were the winners of this event for
which they were awarded a whole bar-
rel of apples to console their bruiser
selves; the Seniors and Sophs tied for

second place; and the Freshmen came |

bumping along for third.
Immediately following this was the
sportswear fashion show. In this, such
queens of fashion as Helon Brown,
Charlotte Hunter, Helen Hendricks,
Lynn Moore, Chopin Hudson (the
height of whose ambition was realized
at this moment, even if it was in a
bathing suit!) Leonora Briggs, Mary

Cope, Dit Worth, Page Waddill, and
Martha Riley Selman participated. The
latest trunks for swimming and en-
sembles for “the game or country
club” were shown in all their glory by
these young ladies of inestimable face
and “figger.”

After this, dancing was the order of
the day. Coffee was served by the
Athletic Board, in the Athletic Room,
Charlotte Hunter acted as hostess.

Thursday was the hey-day (or
rather night) for stunts. “Immediate-
ly after prayers in the chapel” each
dormitory presented a stunt in the at-
tempt to win the little brown jug. Main
;with its “Wooing of Listerino,” won

tages with its “Murder of Mrs. A
Vitamin,” because of an inexcusable
lack of spinach for dinner, got first
nonorable mention. Inman presented
a musical interpretation of what
Health Week meant to them and Re-
bekah Scott presented a pictorial ver-
sion of the healthiest day at Agnes
Scott, with Margaret McCoy at the
blackboard.

Immediately following these stunts |
the erstwhile listless Hottentots; now
regular health babies, ran to the gym
where a H20 polo game was waged,
In this mighty fluid combat the Sen-
iors triumphed over the Freshmen with |
the score of 8-0; the Juniors over the
Sophomores with the score 5-3.

Friday night was the culmination
of Health Week. Miss Health of 1929
was chosen from all the bathing
beauties in Healthdom. Virginia Sears,
Miss Student Government, was the
lucky one. And so if you need any
health guidance about fallen arches or {|
that tired nervous feeling just ask
Virge Sears to direct you—she is
healthy from way back and would be
glad to enlighten you. Martha Logan,
Miss Freshman, won first honorable
mention although she nearly knocked

nervous as a cat at Miss Sinclaiy’s)

honorable mention. A “niz chilly time”

Seniors and Juniors

Win at Water Polo

In the very humid atmosphere of
the swimming pool Thursday night
two more battles in the athletic his-
tory of the Hottentots were waged.
These were the H2 O polo games of
the Seniors vs. the Freshmen and the
Juniors vs. the Sophomores. No more
noble sliking through damp H2 O was
ever done than K. Paseo did in the
company of her two colleagues, com-
posing the eternal triangle of the
Senior team—namely M. R. Selman

Jernigan of the Juniors handed Sarah
Hill for the Sophomores, and vice
versa. No more odd moments were
ad by anyone than by G. Le May,
goal guard for the Seniors, when she
saw the mighty Comer of Freshman
prowess, “crawl” into sight with ball
in hand and wicked gleam in eye. In
fact, if the goal guards on each team
tell the truth they did not have many
moments peace in either game. When
the last trump was sounded, how-
ever, the Seniors had won, 8-0, and the
Juniors, 5-3. Thus liquidly speaking
the games ended.

Seniors Gain
Over Juniors

Friday night, after the bathing
beauties of 1929 had dispersed, the
Amazons, well versed in the arts of
basketball congregated to demon-
strate their prowess. The Seniors
played the Juniors first and won, 27-
17. No men killed. Then the Fresh-
men played the Sophomores in one of
the most exciting games played this
season. In the last part of the last
quarter the poor spectators were sit-
ting on the edge of their several chairs

the jug. White House and the Cot-|@"4 5. Southerland. No more tit for | frantically plucking their eye-brows
: p,.|tat was given in any game than A, | out one by one because just as soon as

the Sophs would catch up with the
Freshmen Penny Brown would stretch
another link and shoot another goal.
They ‘were so-0-0 excited and the
Freshmen were all hot and bothered
| because they pride themselves on their
undefeated record.

And so, dear friends, those who are
carnal-minded still enjoy their basket-
ball either playing it themselves or
playing it by proxy! Soit!!!.

I want to tell you about two that
make “the news” mighty interesting
this time. Emily Kingsbury, ’28, went
to Yale at the beginning of this term
to enter Dr. Baker’s playwriting class.

again ruled supreme and ordered two
basketball games. The Seniors played |
the Juniors again, with the final score
of 27-17 in the former’s favor. The
Freshmen fought “neck and neck”
with the Sophomores until the final
whistle showed they had a four point
lead with the final score of 36-34 in
their favor.

Thus Health Week at Agnes Scott
began, was, and ended. Now everyone
is striving to have that skin you love
to touch and to keep that summer

We were mighty proud of her because
it is quite an honor to be one of the
chosen few. Emily decided that was
stale news—so she gave us a fresh,
thrilling item. On Saturday noon,

THE AGONISTIC

Agnes Scott Has
Interesting History

As Viewed By a Hottentot
On Founder’s Day.

The institution now known as Agnes
Scott College was organized in 1889
as the Decatur Female Seminary. Dr.
F. H. Gaines, pastor of the Decatur
Presbyterian Church, felt the need of
a school for the girls of the community
and proposed to his officers that the
school be established. Miss Nannette
Hopkins was secured as the principal.
There were four teachers and sixty-
two pupils all of grammar grades.
From the beginning the enterprise was
very successful,

In 1890, Colo. George W. Scott, an
elder in the Presbyterian Church and
the leading business man of the town,
bought five acres of land, erected what
was at that time one of the best edu-
cational buildings in the state, and ex-
pended $112,250 before making the
deed of gift to the trustese. In honor
of his generosity, the trustees decided
to change the name of the school to
Agnes Scott Institute, in honor of Col.
Scott’s mother.

The Institute added a high school
enrriculum, but it still taught all the
elementary grades. Slowly the process
of eliminating the lower and adding
the higher classes was maintained. By
1900 the school had become a standard
one of secondary rank, and the large
eastern colleges for women agreed to
accept graduates from Agnes Scott
without examination. It was regarded
as distinetly a great achievement when
this first public recognition was se-
cured.

The next ‘step was to change the
Institute into a college. By 1906 there
were two separate institutions—Agnes
Scott College with authority to grant
the B.A. degree, and Agnes Scott
Academy, a first-class preparatory
school. While these were under the
same Board of Trustees and adminis-
trative officers, they were separate in
nearly every other respect. It is
worthy of note that in 1907, both the
college and the Academy were ad-
mitted to the Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools of the Southern
States. Much favorable comment was
made at this time on the fact that an
institution should be recognized as a
standard college only one year after it
was chartered for conferring degrees.
As a result of this recognition, grad-
uates of Agnes Scott became eligible
for membership in the Southern As-
sociation of College Women.

By 1913. all the available building
and campus room was’ needed for stu-
dents of distinctly college grade and
the Academy was discontinued.

formally recognized by large graduate
schools as an acceptable basis for
taking the M. A. degree in one year.

In 1920 the college was placed on
the approved list of the Association of
American Universities, and immediate-
ly thereafter its graduates were made
eligible for membership in the Asso-
ciation of Collegiate Alumnae. When
this organization merged with the
Southern Association of College
Women to make the new American
Association of University Women,
Agnes Scott was given unconditional
membership.

The climax of academic recognition
was reached in 1925 when the United
Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa voted to
establish a chapter at Agnes Scott.

Like most colleges for women,
Agnes Scott has not had an easy time
in the development of financial
strength. During the early days of
the Institute, there was an annual
deficit in running expenses, and each
year this was paid by Col. Scott out
of his private resources, Thousands
of dollars were thus advanced freely
by him in addition to the permanent

Around _the World

The Kellogg-Briand Peace Pact has
been satisfied by the Senate only a few
days; but already a plan has been
proposed whose purpose is to fill in the
gaps now realized as existing in this
pact. Senator Capper of Kansas has
presented a plan in the form of a
resolution by the terms of which the
government of the U. S. shall establish
an economic boycott against any na-
tion violating the terms of the Kel-
logg-Briand Pact. The President is to
decide whether the country concerned
has violated the terms of this treaty.
Senator Capper says he does not ex-
pect to obtain action on this resolu-
tion during the present session of Con-
gress, nor yet in the special session
to be held in April. He offers the
resolution at this time merely to al-
low time for discussion and for the
formation of public opinion. He ex-
pects to press the adoption of this plan
next December. So far, the opinions
expressed both here and abroad have}
been unanimous in aecclaiming this res-
olution the “one thing needed to give
strength to the Kellogg-Briand Pact,”

Russia expects to buy from the U.
S., during the next five years, $300,-
000,000 worth of agricultural machin-
ery and $100,000,000 of road-building
equipment. These facts were reported
to the press by Mr. Thomas D. Camp-
bell, America’s largest wheat-grower,
who went to Russia seyeral months
ago at the request of the government

improvements which he made from
time to time. After his death in 1903,

it became necessary to arrange for a}

more definite financial basis. The
school was growing and new buildings
and larger grounds were necessary.
Finally, under the leadership of Mr.
S. M. Inman as chairman of the board
of trustees, the General Education
Board of New York became interested
in helping Agnes Scott and in 1908
offered to give $100,000 if the other
friends of the college would raise
$250,000. This campaign was prompt-
ly completed, and it was the beginning
of a secure financial condition. Twice
again the General Education Board
has assisted in campaigns, and twice
also the Carnegie Corporation has par-
ticipated in like manner. At present,
the college is in the midst of another
campaign to gain funds for further
growth and development. The goal set
is $1,500,000, $500,000 of this amount
to come from the General Education
Board if they see fit to grant our re-
quest. The campaign has been most
successful so far. A report from those
in charge shows that by January 15,
1929, $514,000 had been pledged. It
is to be hoped that the campaign will
continue its success for a college with
such a splendid history behind it de-
serves success in its plans for future

development.

to advise them along agricultural
lines. He says further that Russia
has her agricultural situation well in
hand and, with this $400,000,000 from
the U. S., will be able to make great
strides towards improvement.

The sixty years of enmity in Italy
between the church and the state was
ended on February 11th when Cardinal
Gasparri and Premier Mussolini signed
a treaty and two supplementary docu-
ments bringing about this reconcilia-
tion. The terms of this treaty give
to the Pope the same independence and
sovereignty of rule as he had through-
out the Middle Ages. The signing of
the treaty took place in the Hall of
the Popes. A few minutes after the
treaty was signed, the Eternal City
was gay with Italian and Papal flags,
symbolical of this new era of amity
and peace.

A Truth Letter From
Martha to George

February 22.
Dear George:

I had intended writing you a real
sure-enough birthday letter, but if the
truth be known this atmosphere is not
conducive to such epistles, so I de-
vided to hit upon another scheme—I
decided to write you a truth letter.
Rather hard on you I shouldl say,
George, but then you have a world-
wide reputation of loving that elus-
ive and seldom practised virtue.

Anyhow—what could be more horri-
ble than to be rudely torn from the
land of heart’s desires (which that
German pig Freud calls the land of
suppressed desires) at seyen o’clock
on a cold winter’s morn by. the sound
of a bell—and what a bell! A cow-
bell that makes one suspicious of the
ulterior motives of the very thoughtful
and over-cautious administrators. It
is certainly suggestive of the fact that
we are going through our days like
“dumb-driven cattle.’ Small wonder
then that we develop into the horses
we do!

Did you ever read of the great
French literateur whose over-indulgent
parents thoughtfully and aesthetically
had him recalled from “the Land of
Nod” by the beautiful strains of a
violin? That would be bliss unspeak-

able for such as the one who could!
confidently write that “music hath
charms to soothe the savage beast.”
But as for such of us who have weath-
ered two winters below the catawal-
lngs of Main and a like number of
seasons above the organ, violin, Glee
Club, and other discordant strains. I
daresay it would find very little re-
sponse.

IT would almost prefer being awaken-
ed by that bell, if it were not for the
fact that Psychology 101 left such un-
pleasant associations with bells in my
mind’s eye. Every time I hear it ring
I am reminded of the stories that re-
count at great length how rats, dogs,
or other pests get a reaction from
bells that is preparatory to eating.
Anyhow, our bell does suggest food,
and I daresay our reactions are as ef-
fective, if not as prompt, as those
referred to above.

And getting on to the food—George,
no wonder outsiders accuse our “type”
of being stiff—I tell you the truth
when I say we are submitted to a
course in starch that makes even the
best bit of linen after a staff experi-
ence in the Agnes Scott Laundry limp
in comparison.

But then we do have a few experi-
ences to take the starch out of our
make-ups. Why there is even one
class of Seniors—the high honored,
the mighty, and the exalted no less—
which is dismissed in so orderly a
fashion that our kindergarten teach-
ers would feel proud that we had car-
ried over from the tender years of our
infancy something of use in college.
But I could feel a lot happier about
those kindergarten days of ours, if I
could only remember if I really knew
what a lamb was when I read “Mary
had a little lamb.” It is a horribly
blighting experience to have one’s
youthful mentality questioned, par-
ticularly when one can furnish no con-
vincing evidence,

However—the lights have just
winked at me in their most highly co-
quettish and thoroughly aggravating

Prof. Ray Nixon, new teacher of
journalism at Emory, February 6. At

this time he told about the overrated |

value of college instruction in journal-
ism and he related some of his own
experiences on newspapers. He recom-
mended several books from which the
members of the club could gain en-
lightening facts in their chosen field.
He then answered questions which}
were asked about journalism.

The journalism club of the college
was taken through the Atlanta Jour-
nal Saturday, February 16. The guide,
Mr. Long, the associate city editor,
graciously directed the group to every
department of the paper from the
press that prints the funny papers to
the Associated Press office. It was a
most interesting trip and both the
members of K. U. B. and the guests |
agreed that the work back of a single
edition of a newspaper is more com-
plex than they had ever conjectured.
As souvenirs of the trip, each girl was
given her name in type on a linotype

is as fresh and pleasant as it was
prior to 1914. The change is not in
the country itself but in the people.
Poverty is apparent on the streets,
where it is a common occurrence to
see men pass with shoes that are sole-
less. England bled with France in
the war, and England is still bleeding.
The English taxes are exorbitant, but
the pride of the people prevents their
demuring.

Germany did not go through the
war unscathed as many believe she
did. Here there,was intense suffering,
and all over six months old were de-
nied food to a point of starvation.
if we could but know the social con-
ditions of this country, we would not
harbour hatred for Germany. Our at-
titude would be one of pity, not of
animosity. Germany, among other Eu-
ropean powers, has tried to get knowl-
edge of other countries. This knowl-
edge has bred understanding, and
understanding a sympathy which ac-
counts for the Europeans’ being good
neighbors.

Mrs. Pennybacker gave a graphic
picture of the Palace of Peace, a
building impressive and beautiful in
its very spotlessness. Within the walls
of the Peace Palace is a memorial
which necessarily strikes pride in the
heart of every American, causing him
to forget party strife completely. It is
an inscription inspiring patriotism by
its simplicity—‘In Memory of Wood-
row Wilson, President of the United
States of America and Founder of the
League of Nations.”

Possibly the most interesting part of
Mrs. Pennybacker’s lecture was her
account of getting into the Council
Room, where the very inner workings

Monsieur Briand. Briand, as _ the
originator of the Briand-Kellogg Peace
Treaty, was applauded as one of the
most popular European leaders. His
simple message was that Germany
and France were about to start out on
a journey together as brothers, a
journey over “the highway of under-
standing.”

This brought Mrs. Pennybacker to
the point of delivering her own per-
sonal message to her audience. We
too must recognize a need for inter-
national understanding, and above all
we must see that the hope of the
whole world is in peace. Mrs. Penny-
backer’s was a lecture for which her
audience was grateful, for it brought
home to us all an understanding of
conditions abroad and a realization
that there is poignant need of study
to appreciate fully international rela-
tions.

The noise in the library often makes
the library seem more like a gathering
place for bull sessions than a place for
quiet and study. Even if we ourselves
do not go to the library to study,
should we not remember that others
do, and should we not respect their
wishes and their need for a quiet
place? We could so easily eliminate
much of the talking altogether, and
talk more quietly when we find it
necessary. Also, it is very difficult
to read when sitting next to a girl
who is assiduously chewing and pop-
ping gum. There may be a time and
a place for all things, but the library
is neither the time nor the place for
chewing gum. There have been articles
and discussions on the question of
courtesy in the dormitories and court-
esy in the dining room—we ask you
now to consider the question of

courtesy in the library.

are representatives from corners of
the earth as far apart as Iceland and
Africa. Mrs. Pennybacker had the
unusually good fortune to be present
at the time of Germany’s admittance
to the League of the other fifty-five
nations.

Mrs. Pennybacker pointed out the
fact that French and English are the
enly two conversant languages accept-
ed in the League. A delegate entered
by a nation may choose his own lan-
guage. So it was that Herr Stresse-
mann spoke in German. His speech
centered around the theme that God
did not intend for man to destroy man,
for he is God’s greatest creation.

Herr Stressemann’s speech was an-
swered by an eloquent address by

CELEBRATED AT A. S. C.
(Continued from Page One)
“Scott Cavalry,” which was the Fifth
Florida Battalion. This company was
organized under his leadership.

He had an interesting career as a
business man, a soldier and church
worker. But it is in him as a philan-
thropist that those associated with
Agnes Scott College are primarily in-
terested. We are indebted to Colonel
Scott for the foundation of the Agnes
Scott Institute in 1891, by an endow-
ment of $175,000. In 1907 Agnes Scott
was admitted to the Association, and
Agnes Scott Academy as the successor
to the Institute and as a secondary
school.

Colonel George W. Scott did all in
his power to further Christian educa-
tion. He was an ardent Presbyterian.

It is therefore to this man that we
are indebted for our Alma Mater. And
it is in his honor that we celebrate
Founder’s Day, the 22nd of February.

Friday morning at 10 o’clock there
wll be interclass basketball games in-
stead of the usual Odd-Even games.
These will be between the Seniors vs.

Freshmen, and the Juniors vs. Soph-
omores.

In the evening there will be the
traditional celebration to which George
and Martha Washington invite the col-
lege community. The Seniors, as such,
will not be in evidence, but there will
be distinguished guests such as the
courtly Lafayette, demure Betsy Ross,
philosophical Benjamin Franklin and

others who will enliven the banquet by |

their toasts and appropriate addresses.
In Rebecca the following Seniors
have been chosen to take part:

After dinner, the guests will gather
at the gym and dance the graceful
minuet. The Colonial gentlemen and
their lovely partners will dance until
ten, but when the lights blink, they too
like Cinderella will return to realities
and modern times,

“DO WE NEED A NEW GOD?”
(Continued from Page One)

These are the most evident ways in
which we may find God and enlarge
our conception of Him. One must feel
that knowing Him involves living and
doing in accordance with our knowl-

edge of His laws. If we do not do
this, it would seem inevitable that a
further knowledge or revelation of
Him would be blocked. “He that loveth
not, knoweth not God; for God is love.”
We must live by the thirteenth chapter
of first Corinthians.

“We unite in the desire to realize
full and creative life through a grow-
ing knowledge of God.”

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1929 .

FOUNDER’S DAY PROVES
TO BE A GREAT SUCCESS

Dinner Marked By Brilliant
Toasts and Responses—
Dance a Great Success.

The annuai Founder’s Day dinner
was the usual festive affair, gay with
red, white, and blue crepe paper and
tiny cherry tree centerpieces. Bright-
est and most colorful of all were the
Seniors, their identities as youthful
college gris entirely lost under the
guise of colonial dames and gallants. |

George Washington very fittingly
acted as toastmaster, and there were
many brilliant speeches by various dis-
tinguished visitors. To the speech of
each “celebrity” the Sophomores re-
sponded with an appropriate song.

The toasts were as follows:

George Washington (Marion Green
in Rebekah; Helon Brown in White
House):

“We welcome you, one and all,

To Mt. Vernon’s spacious hall.

We are here for only a day,

Ghosts from the past so gay,

But with a very worldly concern.

That the meat is done to a turn,

And eyenly, lusciously browned;

That our wives are smartly gowned;

That our wigs are not askew;

That you laugh the whole night
through,

And relish the dinner too—

That we are proper hosts to you.

Martha says she’s very shy,

And even hesitates to speak;

Now this is peculiar in a lady,

Some explanation we'll have to seek;

Perhaps she knows the opinion

Of all this courtly band.

That there was never such a hostess

As our First Lady of the Land.”

Martha Washington (Edith McGran-

ahan, Hazel Brown):

“George is really quite a dear,

But you needn’t hearken to all you
hear,

For he loves to tease and he loves to
chat;

Well. I reckon there’s nothing wrong
111 that.

I certainly do appreciate

The fact that none of you were late,

For I realize that the roads are bad,

And coming late is still a fad.

Perhaps in a score of years

Flying things with whirring gears

Will carry our children to and fro.

But I just want to let you know

That in Mount Vernon I'll gladly greet

The friends of George whene’er they
meet.”

the Delaware,
He stood up and didn’t rest,
Just because he was a Scotchman,
And his pants were newly pressed.

Martha was a fine housekeeper,

All her guests proclaimed her fame,

And we know her dainty recipes

From the candy with her name.”
Thomas Jefferson (Helen Ridley,

Aileen Moore):

“Yes, I signed the Declaration

Of Indepedence; I was keen.

I'm a perfect bear for the Democrats—

I’m an American, I mean.

And so tonight I give a toast

To a bigger and better State,

For larger dinners year by year,

Among the special features of the
Founder’s Day program on last Fri-
day, February twenty-second, which
was enjoyed by a large audience, was
the musical program broadeast over

“Agnes Scott Alumnae Song.”

“Hottentot.”

“1924 Class Song.”

Glee Club numbers.

In addition to the Glee Club presen-
tation Dr. McCain and Miss Hopkins
gave brief talks. Mrs. Imogene Har-
relson and Mr. Carl Garver sang.
Miss Lucile Alexander talked briefly
on “What Alumnae Can Do for Their

Changes Madein _|THE A. S. C. GLEE CLUB
GIVES FIRST CONCERT

Elective System

Students Are Given Greater
Choice.

A radical change in the system of
majors and minors has recently been
made by the Academic Council of the
college. Instead of a major of 24
hours and an unrelated minor of 18
hours, the student may choose a major
of 24 hours with 12 hours of related
work, a major of 21 hours, and 15
hours of related work (12 hours of
which to be in one subject), or two
majors of 24 hours, not necessarily re-
lated. The related subjects for de-
partments in which majors are given
are as follows, subject, of course, to
revision and selection by individual
department heads.

Bible—History, Philosophy, Sociol-
ogy, Greek.

Biology — Astronomy,
Math, Physics, Psychology.

Chemistry — Astronomy,
Physics, Mathematics.

Economics—Geneties, Hist. Philos-
ophy, Psychology.

English—European History, French,
German, Greek, Latin, Spanish, Bible
208.

French—European History, English,
German, Greek, Latin, Spanish.

German—English, French, Greek,
Latin, European History.

Chemistry,

Biology,

History — Economics,
Philosophy, Roman Life.

Greek—Ancient and Medieval His-
tory, Latin, French, German, Philos-
ophy.

Latin—Ancient and Medieval His-
tory, English, French, German, Greek,
Spanish, Ancient Philosophy.

Math—Astronomy, Biology, Chemis-
try, Economics.

Sociology,

Psychology — Genetics, Education,
Philosophy, Sociology, Greek, Physiol-
ogy.

Spanish—English, French, German,
Latin and European History.

Other noteworthy changes were
made in the requirements for the de-
gree. English 101-102 (six hours), a
modern language with prerequisite of
two or more entrance units (6 hours),
two semester courses of Bible (101,
205) (6 hours), and Hygiene (2 hours)
are specific requirements. History 101
and English 257 are notable omissions
from the list. The curriculum is then
divided into seven groups, and each
student is to elect five out of the
seven groups, with the specification
that one laboratory science is required,
and either the group of Greek and
Latin or Mathematics must be elected.
The groups are as follows:

Group 1.—Biclogy or Chemistry, or
Physics, 8 semester hours.

Group 2—English Literature,
semester hours.

Group 3—Greek or Latin, 6 semes-
ter hours. Two units of Greek or 1
year of college Greek is the prerequis-
ite for the Greek requirement.

Group 4.—History or Economies, 6
semester hours.

Group 5—Mathematics, 6 semester
hours.

Group 6—Psychology, 6 semester
hours.

Group 7—Biology or Chemistry or
Physics, 8 semester hours.

Subject not elected in Group 1.

No change has been made in pre-
seribed units for entrance
ments.

These changes are all in accordance
with the best educational philosophy
and practice of the country. The stu-
dent is given a great deal more free-
dom in the choice of subjects, and
definite advantages seem to come with
the new system. Any students already
taking work at the college may take
her choice, however, of continuing un-
der the old or new system. There is
no halfway.

Commencement
Speakers Named

Dr. McCain and Dr. Sweet
to Speak.

Announcement of the commence-
ment speakers has been made. On
Sunday morning, May 26, Dr. Henry
H. Sweets, of Louisville, Ky., will give
the baccalaureate sermon. Dr. Sweets
has received degrees from Centre Col-
lege, Presbyterian College, and David-
son. A Presbyterian minister, he has
been secretary of the Board of Chris-
tian Education and Ministerial Relief
of the Presbyterian Church, a trustee
of the General Assembly, president of
the Presbyterian Educational Associa-
tion of the South, and a member of
various important boards.

On Tuesday, May 28, Dr. C. S. Mc-
Cain, of Greenwich, Conn., will deliver
the commencement address. Dr. Mc-
Cain is a graduate of Erskine College
and Yale University, and a member of
Phi Beta Kappa. He is president of
the Bankers’ Trust Company and vice-
president of the National Park Bank.
Among other important positions, he
has been a member of the executive
committee of the American Red Cross
and Liberty Loan drives.

Agnes Scott is fortunate in being
able to secure two such men as speak-
ers, and the 1929 commencement pro-
gram will doubtless -rove of extreme
interest.

Phi Beta Kappas
Are Initiated

Three Girls Honored With
Banquet.

The Phi Beta Kappa initiates, Eliz-
abeth Hatchett, Genevieve Knight, and
Eleanor Lee Norris, of the class of
29, were honored with a banquet Tues-
day evening in the Anna Young Alum-
nae House by members of the Agnes
Scott chapter, the Beta chapter of
Georgia.

Miss Alexander, president of the
chapter, made a few well-chosen re-
marks on the general purpose of the
organization and then called on
Eleanor Lee Norris to tell how the
initiates liked being members of Phi
Beta Kappa.

After this Margaret Whitington, ’26,
and Evangeline Papageorge, ’28, were
asked to tell something of the Phi
Beta Kappa members of their classes.
These girls are fulfilling the promise
they gave while at Agnes Scott. Juan-
ita Greer, ’26, has just received the A.
A. U. W. (American Association of
University Women) scholarship to
Johns Hopkins—the first Agnes Scott
graduate to win this distinction. This
scholarship is sought by graduates
from all parts of America and is
awarded only to one who has shown
marked capability in research work.
Of last year’s Senior class four of the
nine Phi Beta Kappas are doing grad-
uate work and the others are success-
ful teachers.

The great variety of numbers made
the program very entertaining and
very interesting. There was perfect
harmony secured in all the ‘choruses,
and each selection was rendered in an
excellent manner. Chopin Hudson
gave a negro clog dance in a most
clever way to the tune of “Shortening
Bread.” Besides the negro spirituals
by the Glee Club and the group of
folk songs by the special chorus, the
“radio broadcast” of the evening was
enjoyed. Certain outstanding features
of the radio broadcast included selec-
tions by a male quartette, and several
solos and duets by the “opera stars’”
who were the guests of the Glee Club.

Many people from Atlanta and De-
catur were present at the concert.
Great credit for the success of the
program is due to Mrs. Johnson, the
efficient director of the Glee Club.

The Agnes Scott Glee Club took part
in the radio program broadcasted from
WSB the night of February 22. The
members of the Glee Club will also
sing for the Atlanta Music Club
March 6.

SENIOR RINGS TO

The much-discussed question of a
change in the Senior rings was settled

There will be no drastic difference

slightly raised.

EDITORIAL

UNPROGRESSIVE CRAYFISH

The process of mental development has been likened to that
of the development of the seven hard outer coverings of the cray-
fish. This animal slowly secretes a hard outer shell, outgrows it,
throws it off, is without a covering for a while, and then secretes
another hard shell, the process going on seven times. An indi-
vidual builds up a system of thought and of ideas, eventually out-
grows it, throws it off, is without a definite system for a while,
and then builds up another one, which he sooner or later outgrows
again. This process, however, unlike that of the crayfish, may
take place any number of times and in any number of ways. It
may be one of either evolution or revolution.

The important thing is that the process should be continually
taking place during the four years of college. If the host of new
ideas and information assimilated in college doesn’t cause continual
evolution of new ideas, new beliefs, new outlooks, new philosophies,
there is something radically wrong either with the system of edu-
cation or with the individual. No crayfish cares to keep his year-
before-last suit of hard mail. No real student should care to keep
his high school system of thought, although there may be some
things in that system which he or she should never give up. No
real student, faced with the increasing variety of selective courses
in the four scholastic years, with the increasing opportunities for
self fulfillment, with the increasing number of stimulating con-
tacts, should have the same intellectual “hard shell” all the way
through. We venture to believe that each of the four periods have
a somewhat uniform effect, very generally speaking, on the classes.
Hence “Sophomoric,” the Junior attitude, the Senior attitude.

There is nothing shameful in a hard shell, if not kept too long.
There is nothing shameful in a decided mental viewpoint or social
outlook, if they are changed for better ones, by evolution or revolu-
tion, when the time comes. There is nothing shameful about being
in the undecided, bewildered soft shell stage. The crime is in
clinging to an outgrown covering, an outgrown system of thought,
when life with its continual process of growth calls for a new.

“TO BE ALIVE IN SUCH AN AGE”

When Wordsworth said of the French Revolutionary period,
“Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive,
But to be young was very heaven,”
he was not prophesying. But well he may have been; for in no age
has youth ever been more fully aware of its potentialities and its
possibilities than it is in our own twentieth century.

One of the most significant causes of this awakening of mod-
ern youth lies in the vast chance in the conception of a college
education and its aim. It is no longer maintained that such an
education consists in prescribed courses and stereotyped lectures
about the facts of history, science, literature, and art. These facts
rather form the background for an education which results in an
understanding of modern life as it is related to the present and to
the past. For this understanding of contemporary life there is
necessary a certain sensitiveness of the student to the expression
of it. The student who is not aware of the great literary, social,
political and religious movements of his own age is not educated.
Since these movements are changing from day to day their princi-
ples are found not in text-books but in newspapers, current mag-
azines, current drama, and current lectures by widely-sympathetic
speakers. This extra-curricular knowledge and appreciation of life
forms an integral part of education. It is youth that feels the
necessity of this knowledge of modern society if it is to understand
this society and be understood by it.

It is not with a false optimism that we say that modern
youth understands modern society as well as any other age of so-
ciety. Modern youth, well-informed on the history of the world in
ages past, is deeply interested in the world in which it lives. The
cross-currents of society awake in the youth of today a sympathy
that is vibrant; a sympathy that inspires it to say with Angela
Morgan,

“To be alive in such an age—
To live to it, to give to it—!”

—— WE THINK!

Perhaps a word of appreciation for a
needed improvement in our scholastic
life would not be amiss.
few of us who did not beam with joy
at the news of the proposed changes
in the curriculum. We express our-

There are

selves freely when our fellow students
or members of the faculty and ad-
ministration seem to us to fail to have
a vision of what is finest and most
progressive—most truly beneficial to

our college. We should be equally
eager to recognize efforts which we see
as definite advances.

There has long been a feeling that
there were too many courses required,
and consequently too little opportunity
for students to elect others which are
certainly equally helpful and en-
lightening. Under the new system the
girl who is interested in language or
literature and avowedly unmathemat-
ical may be spared the frenzied strug-
gles with the elusive “co-sine”; the
mathematically-minded need not read
Cicero’s “De Senectute” except by
choice. An opportunity is thus af-
forded for a better background for the
chosen major.

The change is but another mark of
our rank beside the best colleges of
the country, schools which have al-
ready adopted the plan of the in-
reased number of electives. The most
effective way in which to show our
appreciation for this greater freedom
is by using it wisely, sanely and
thoughtfully. We must not avoid the
difficult course simply because we are
no longer required to take it, with
the result that we develop wholly
along one line to the exclusion of
others. There is little fear of this,
however, with the present necessary
supervision, and the possession by stu-
dents of some measure of what we
term common sense. Altogether Agnes
Scott is to be congratulated on this
distinct step in the right direction—
the direction of progressive, wide-
awake development, and modernity in
the best sense.

C.

Before we begin let us warn all you
lonely, neat, entirely-without-reproach
ladies that this is not meant for you.
In fact, it is meant for only a very
few people on the campus. But a sad
few! In our opinion it’s just about
time a little popular sentiment was
agitated against a certain kind of girl.
The kind who trails around campus
in silk hose that are a series of runs
held together by a few disconsolate
threads. The kind who wears old down-
at-the-heel shoes. The kind who comes
to breakfast without combing her hair,
and wearing a dress as innocent of
dry-cleaners as the proverbial new-
born-babe. You say perhaps they are
poor? And yet they are usually just
the ones who dyke themselves out in
$29.50 hats and $16.00 spike heels
when they step out to meet the boy
friend.

Right now college is our business,
and since every man has a business
suit, why can’t we have campus clothes
instead of old worn-outs from joyous
week-ends and holidays?

If, however, we don’t want to look
nice for our own satisfaction we might
consider the esthetic sense of our
friends. Every person on this campus
is above the average in intelligence,
whereus about every third person you
meet downtown is a moron. Still we
will spend an hour or two making
ourselves beautiful for a lot of morons
we don’t know and then spend six
days a week outraging the eyes of
the college community.

When we asked Ella what she
thought of this type of girl she stated
emphatically “We ain’t got none of
that kind.” She is almost right, too; we
ain’t got many. But these few, like
glaring road signs, spoil the view.

P. T., ’30.

There ought to be a law against it,
really—this habit the faculty have of
keeping us after the bell has rung.
It seems to indicate a rather selfish
point of view when a professor keeps
on with his lecture, apparently ob-
livious to the fact that there may be
other classes the students must attend.

We have to observe certain rules re-

garding punctuality; why shouldn’t the |if we can’t take every course on the
faculty? campus, we can at least make use of
the more easily reached sources of
knowledge. The greatest source of
this kind are the magazines and news-
papers. There are many magazines
and newspapers in our library that
might prove both interesting and en-
lightening on many subjects.

We do have a tendency to be ex-
tremely provincial on our campus. To
suggestion that we learn more of what
is happening in the world, we throw
out the same old answer, “We haven’t
the time.” But magazines and news-
papers exist for the man or woman
who hasn’t the time to read books
and longer publications. The articles
are usually short and interesting and
it takes very little time to read them.
A great variety of subjects are dis-
cussed, and some of them are sure to
be interesting. You won’t ever have
to buy them, for we have a large
number of well selected magazines and
quite a few newspapers in our library.
Why not take advantage of them?

How many of us know anything
definite about the Briand-Kellogg
Peace Pact? How many of us can look
intelligent when radium is discussed?
How many of us know exactly who
Harry Emerson Fosdick is? How
many of us know how the negro looks
at the race problem? Not many of us. -
A short time with magazines and
newspapers in the library each day
would soon remedy this. It’s the old
idea of fifteen minutes a day—but let’s
form the habit.

Chest up! Stomach in! Head erect!

Considering that the human race is
supposed to have developed beyond the
stage of walking on all-fours some of
us come mighty near doing that very
thing when we go hobbling across the
campus all doubled up, with our heads
down on our chests. But last week
we saw how much better we looked
and felt by exercising only a little
control and thought, and holding our
bodies as they were intended to be car-
ried. Surely we are not willing to
slump back into the old humped-over,
round-shouldered posture that makes
us look as if we were just emerging
from the quadrupedal stage. There is
a psychology, too, in good posture. It
makes us feel as if we were sitting on
the top of the world, and helps us
to look everybody straight in the eye.
So let’s “take the good the gods pro-
vide” and make Health Week extend
over fifty-two weeks out of every
year!

Z.

We hear new books discussed, we
have them recommended to us in
classes, we actually see them adver-
tised and reviewed in the New York
Times, but we seldom see the books
themselves. When we go to the library
we can scarcely ever find anything
more recent than “Moby Dick” or
“Jamela,” which, though fine in courses
on the development of the novel, are
neither new nor interesting for read-
ing. The library seems to keep up
very well with modern poetry; it also
has a fine selection of magazines; but
in regard to new essays, books of
travel, and novels it is sadly lacking.
We think that a serious fault would be
remedied by the purchase of a few of
the best and most widely discussed of
the new books each year.

B.

We think that while we are busy re-
forming the campus, we ought to de-
yote some attention to the matter of
noise. It is often practically impossi-
ble for underclassmen to go to sleep
before eleven-thirty because of the
racket in the Senior rooms. Vociferous
bull sessions, continuous typewriting,
and various other types of noise are
frequently heard all up and down the
halls on which there are Senior lights.
As a very occasional occurrence, this
would be all right; as a fairly regular
thing, it is quite annoying. We feel
that use of Senior lights is a privilege
which should not be abused. We ask
that the Seniors be a little more con-
siderate.

H.

There are many comments on the
apparent ignorance of college students.
Of course we don’t pretend to know
everything, nor do we wear our knowl-
edge on our sleeves. We also realize
that we never shall know everything.
But why let it stop at that? Even

THE AGONISTIC

Giddy, My Dear,
What with so much excitement at
school, it’s a wonder I’m ever finding

time to write. Holidays certainly are
demoralizing—though far be it from
me to breathe them sentiments alone.
Bless old George’s heart. I wonder if
he ever looked as attractive in his wig
as Helon did the night of the 22nd.
You should have been here for all the
celebrating, Giddy. We really had a
big time. The minuet was so pretty,
and it was fun dancing, with everybody
in evening dress. ‘Cept Alice Jerni-
gan really should wear her glasses at
night. She caught one glimpse of Dr.
Hayes and Dr. Davidson sitting on
the sidelines, and thought we had an
orchestra.

Well, it’s nice to have illusions—
Olive Spencer says hers get rosier
every day, ever since her K. A. came
down here. She just walks around in
a daze. And Mary Warren says she
thinks medicine is just an ideal pro-
fession for a manly man, don’t you
think so, Giddy—tho’ Sara Townsend
prefers preachers, and Merritt says
she ’specks she likes farmers best of
all, even if Pi K. A. pins are pretty.
Oh, and Giddy, Margaret McCoy, after

many delays, finally had her date with
Peter Pund. She told me he was her
ideal man, and so gentle and kind to
be a football player. But Jo Smith
says athletes are really of very in-
ferior mentality (see American Mag-
azine for references). So she very
carefully folded up her dear friend’s
sweater with the big T on it, and
hoping to bring a little aesthetic inter-
est into his life, used a third of a
bottle of Coty’s on it.

They tell me, tho’, it’s a very good
idea to keep visible signs of conquest.
I’m awfully sorry, Giddy, that I can’t
brag about any of our other cute girls
this week. It’s so nice to have Mrs.
Esther Nisbet Anderson to hold up,
though, as raising the percent. Oh
you should have seen the darling
Valentine she got from her better half
with “I love you—from the proper
source” on it.

But speaking of love reminds me of
poetry, which further reminds me how
much I have to read of Contemporary
Poetry. It’s very modern stuff, Giddy
—lI’m sure you couldn't understand it.
Alice MacDonald had underlined in her
book, as the keynote of H. D.’s poetry
|—*There is no hope.”

Still, Giddy, after a wedding in our
own Alumnae House (and they didn’t
have any “friends we know, who will
throw—some rice and old shoes”) we
ean feel hopeful about anything. And
after all our publicity for Miss Hop-
kins and Dr. McCain talking over the
radio, and all our health from Health
Week (even if we don’t all look like

My dear, you know, don’t you, that

Tech boys who need them for the
Marionettes; well, this time when she
let them have her most stunning
clothes the boys were “far, far from
the maddening city” on a month’s tour
before she had one inkling of it! And
that’s not all—In order to appear ex-
ceedingly learned before one of her
ardent boy friends, who possesses
quite a scientific mind, she talked’ at
length about plasmodium vivox—you
remember the little protozoan from
Biology 101—and, sad-to-relate, got it
utterly confused with the conjugation
of paramecium. I want you to know
that the very next day she received a
thick, scholarly-looking book contain-
ing a complete discussion of plas-
modium vivox with great sentences
underlined and a pert little note say-
ing, “Be able to discuss this with me
in detail Thursday night, after the
dance.”

Flora Riley in utter bewilderment
and with an air of truly seeking
knowledge asked me what she should
have done when, at the very moment
she was in the middle of the floor at a
dance, the orchestra began playing,
“How Can I Do Without You, Baby?”
and her partner caught both of her
hands in his and shook them up and
down, all the while gazing deep into
her eyes and not saying a word. But
talk about being in a predicament! |
Janice Simpson broke her monocle
while taking gym, and has to wait
until she can send to New York to
get another.

My dear, honestly it’s fearful not to
Le on speaking terms with one’s best
boy friend. Take my well-meaning
advice and never go to such depths.
Why, on one of those putrid rainy
days, Edith Hughes ran her parasol
headlong into Maurice with whom she
has not spoken in a year, and do you
know that neither one of them uttered
a word? Just think if only the blow
had been hard enough they might have
dramatically died in each other’s arms
like Romeo and Cleopatra.

Virginia Sears) and after having
such cute visitors from “Chaaarlotte”
we can really be quite proud of our-
selves. In fact, we are—and would
be even more so if you’d write us
sometime and let us see if your big
doings are as big as ours.

Yours for much more whoopee and
many more holidays (I have a birthday
next month, and so has Baby Sara).

As usual,
Aggie.

THE AGONISTIC

Inter-views

The European Bath

The crying need of Europe—more
battleships? No! Bathtubs! Every
girl whom we approached on the sub-
ject was quite firm in this conviction.

Cara Hinman, who lived at a pension
in Geneva during the year 1926-27, had
to pay 50c for every time she treated
herself to the luxury. She said that
when her family was travelling in
Germany in 1911 they arrived one eve-
ning, dusty and tired, at a pension and
asked for a bath.

“For which one of you?” asked the
landlord.

“For all three of us,” answered Mr,
Hinman.

The landlord fell back in holy hor-
ror.

“Por all three of you? Never. Not
in one evening. The gentleman may
have one this evening, the lady one
tomorrow, and the young lady one the
next. day.”

When they saw the bathroom they
were not surprised, for it was on the
top floor, and the water had to be car-
ried up in buckets.

Cara said it was a matter of town
interest when any one took a bath.
In Holland they sew the children up in
their clothes in the fall and do not
change them until the next spring.
She ended up by saying that it seemed
a shame that the ornamental foun-
tains found in such abundance all over
Europe could not be turned to more
practical—and perhaps more aesthetic
account.

Marion Green said that all Europe
seemed to hold to the Roman idea—
the bath a luxury, At the pension
where she stayed, the bath house was
in a court yard. She had to sign up
a day or two ahead of time; the diffi-
culties at Agnes Scott are not a cir-
cumstance. Buckets of steaming hot
water were carried from the house.
This, Marion says, did not do much
good, because the bathhouse was very,
very cold. For each one of these
cold,.inconvenient baths she found on
her bill: “Bain, 3 frances extra.”

While we were visiting Marion, Miss
Bland came in and it occurred to us
that here was another who would
probably be able to lend some en-
thusiasm to the discussion. Her only
difficulty seemed to be that of al-
ways asking permission from Mon-
sieur. One evening she came in from
a dusty trip and had just twenty min-
utes to dress for dinner. She wanted
to look her nicest. She asked the maid
for a bath. But, no, Monsieur was out
and she could not possibly have a bath
until she had asked Monsieur.

Polly Stone was the next authority
whom we interviewed. She said they
had been having a perfectly terrible
time all over Europe—‘little old
teency, weency bathtubs’’—the people
thought you should be able to have a
perfectly splashy time on a pint of
water. When they got to Switzerland
they found a bathtub as big as a room,
so deep that you could go in swim-
ming, and towels as big as a door. She
got so excited that she slipped down
and cracked a rib and had to see the
rest of Europe in plaster paris.

Weesa Chandler, who is an authority
on the Roman bath, says the glories of
Rome have departed, and that the
Roman bath is a thing to be avoided.
She, too, found a bath that was on the
order of Polly’s—not in Rome, but in
Vienna—about six feet deep and no
way to climb in—or rather I should
say up. Some girls had to come make
a ladder. Chagrined at the high price
charged for one bath, three of them
decided to occupy the bath room at
once. Their schemes all went awry,

When Clarene Dorsey (who weighs
81 6-10 in her galoshes) heard that

Get Thin Quick

“Glow little glow glimmer,
glimmer,
Watch their

slimmer!”

worm,

forms grow slimmer,

Ray! Rah! Greater Aggie is de-
veloping so fast we had to get a re-
ducing machine. It’s the real thing,
too, just like those you see in “Hygeia”
or “Physical Culture.” Everybody on
the campus is excited over it, from
Miriam Thompson to June Maloney.

Miss Haynes, however, heartily dis-
approves. She says it’s only another

excuse for laziness and that a good run |

‘around the hockey field would be
‘much better. But then Miss Haynes is
one person who doesn’t have to worry
about either method.

When I met Marguerite this morn-
ing she said, “Bonjour, petite poulet”
—meaning (as she carefully explain-
ed) that I was a nice fat little chicken!
Well! On the force of that I ran
down and begged Miss Wilburn for a
demonstration of the above mentioned
machine, With a wicked twinkle she
informed me that only very special
people could use it and unfortunately
I was not so special. At first I was
quite squelched but on reflection I
decided it might be that I did not
have enough avoirdupois.

Diana and Florence could use it she
was so jealous she lay awake three
nights trying to think up an excuse
to use it herself. We timidly suggest
that it might help weak ankles.

Martha Stackhouse says it nearly
jarred her back teeth out and besides
she felt like she was doing a shimmy
dance! Not having ever done one we!
didn’t know whether to agree or not.
Anyway, it certainly does make you
look nervous.

We hear that even Miss Health has
succumbed. She says that if the Gym
Department thinks she is just right
she must be at least 20 pounds over-
weight, Anyway she got her picture
in the paper and that’s what we all
want these days.

Red Townsend just blew in and said |
that since the reducing machine cured
the crick in Mr. Rivers’ neck she sees |
no reason why it won’t remove freck-

les. And I don’t either.

however, for their bill was presented
for three baths. She said she sup-
posed some one measured the water
that was used. Another thing which
she found to criticize was the loca-
tion of the bathroom—sometimes sep-
arated from the parlor by nothing,
more substantial than a curtain.

A crisis in Europe is evident. Some-
thing must be done. The trials and
difficulties in connection with the Eu- |
ropean Bath are a menace to civiliza-
tion. Of course there is a way out of
every difficulty—found in this instance
by Mildred Greenleaf who outwitted
all the efforts of Europe by getting a
bath free.

Theater Guild Plays |Pen Points-Ink Spots

A. real treat was given to Agnes
Scott students, when the New York
Theater Guild brought to Atlanta four
famous plays, “The Doctor's Dilem-
ma,” “Ned MeCobb’s Daughter,” “The
Second Man,” and “John Ferguson.”
The Theater Guild brings four plays
to Atlanta each year and it is the be-
lief of many that this is the best
group they have ever brought here.

“The Doctor’s Dilemma” is a charac-
teristic Shaw satire, crammed with
wit and irony. Here Shaw continues
his practice of “knocking the props
from under condemned houses.” In
this case the doctors are his target.
A young artist is ill, and the doc-

tor, because he is in love with his wife, |

allows him to die. According to Miss
Laney and Miss Gooch, this was a
brilliant play, in which Elizabeth Ris-
don and Alan Mowbray did especially
fine acting.

“Ned MeCobb’s Daughter” was a
play built around the character of one
woman who was strong enough to rise
above circumstance. Miss Laney con-
sidered this the most stirring play of
the group, and the acting of Elizabeth
Risdon in the title role, one of the
finest pieces of acting she had ever
seen.

Most of the students were enthusias-
tic over “The Second Man” because of
the clever lines it contained, and be-
cause of the intriguing personality,
and acting of Alan Mowbray in the
role of Clark Storey. Miss Gooch
agreed that Mowbray was good in the
role, and thought that he was better
in the part than the actor whom she
saw in New York, but she said that
the play itself was badly constructed.
“nut the Theater Guild on its feet,”
in New York. It is the story of a
Scotch-Irish Presbyterian whose re-
ligious faith was untouched by trag-
edy. When asked what the theme was
supposed to be, the author replied
that he had tried to put something
of the character of Job into John
Ferguson. Miss Gooch considered this
the best constructed and best present-
ed play of the group. She said that
Maxwell and Peg Entwistle were ex-
cellent in the parts of John Ferguson
and Hannah Ferguson and that on the
whole this was decidedly the best pre-
sented play she had ever seen in At-
lanta.

We are looking forward to the Guild
presentation next year when they
promise to bring, among other plays,
Eugene O’Neill’s “Strange Interlude.”

Polly: Estelle, do you know why
Scotchmen are so witty?

Estelle: No. Why?

Polly: It’s a gift!

“What kind of a car have you?”
“Oh, a runabout. You know, run
about a mile and then stop.”

The stir about the rings has quieted
down for another college generation.
It seems in this case that the old order
remains the same. It was largely be-
cause of the alumnae that we voted as
we did. After all, what difference will
it make in a few years? The only
thing that would be dear about the
ring anyway would be that it was an

Agnes Scott ring.

After showing us some really splendid
work, Dr. de Jonge presented a variety
of examples of modern cubism and
futurism. A picture which we thought
was surely the impressions of a night-

portrait of a gentleman. Our favorite
picture was the dog whose legs and
tails were shown in action.

Founder’s Day is over but we under-

who still think we celebrate it be-
cause it was George Washington’s
birthday. We think, however, that
founding Agnes Scott was quite an
important event, and one worthy of
celebrating. Having it fall on George
Washington’s birthday lends a pictur-

esque motif.

The European history class has been
studying the English system of gov-

when a practical demonstration took

Our girls are not content only to
represent sweet types of southern
womanhood but are developing an eye
for business as well. For example the
sandwich traffic with Jo Barry, Sally
Cothran, Shirley and Betty fast ac-
cumulating a fortune, and the shoe
business gallantly upheld by Betty and
Dit. But the latest enterprise, which
as yet is just in the making, we learn,

This year the faculty spent the holi-

Miss Florence Smith, of the History

of the Mathematics Department, will
return this fall after their year of
study. We never noticed any especial
need for another year-full of knowl-
edge, but they must know best. Still,
we do feel there ought to be a limit set
to knowledge.

The Pope and Mussolini

The Roman Question, so the head-

ment of the Italo-Vatican settlement
by Cardinal Gasparri, Papal Secretary
of State, and Premier Mussolini is of
significant interest not only to Roman
Catholics but to Protestants through-
out the world. The church is to receive
indemnification amounting to about
$105,000,000 for church property seiz-
ed by the state in 1870. The coldness
of the Vatican to him has heretofore
been Mussolini’s chief stumbling block
but now that the church has come over
to his side, his prestige and power will
be greatly increased.

Among the new novels, one of the
best is DuBose Heyward’s ““Mamba’s
Daughters.” Dorothy Canfield has de-
scribed it as “a portrait in white and
black of the vanishing south.” Like
“Porgy” it is a story of Charleston.
However, it deals with an impoyerish-
ed family of “quality white folks,”
as well as with the negro Mamba, her
daughter Hagar, and her grand-
daughter Lissa.

In “Peder Victorious,” Professor O.
E. Rolvag continues his saga of the
Northwestern prairies in telling of the
Americanization of the son of Beret
and Per Hansa. It contains more
humor and pathos than “Giants in the
Earth” and retains the strength and
power of the first book.

Maristan Chapman tells of an un-
explored corner of life in our own
country in “The Happy Mountain.”
It is a fresh, invigorating book which
Bruce Gould in the New York Evening
Post says “compasses all dreams and
aspirations that have ever come to
man and been denied to woman.”

In “Elizabeth and Essex” Dr. Lytton
Strachey has produced another fine
and enduring biography. It is con-
cerned with the later years of the life
of Elizabeth and presents a very hu-
man portrait of the great queen.

It has been said that D. B. Wynd-
ham Lewis in “Francois Villon” has
presented just the picture of the ras-
cal poet which he himself would most
enjoy. It is a remarkable and scholar-
ly study of the poet and his works,
which is at the same time permeated
with the spirit of the man and his age.

Kahlil Gibran, whose “The Prophet”
we have known, and loved, and quoted,
has published a new book, “Jesus, the
Son of Man.” In a series of solil-
oquies by real or imagined contem-
poraries, he reveals Jesus as the Su-
preme Poet, and as the touchstone
bringing out the true nature of all
who come in contact with him.

“John Brown’s Body,” by Stephen
Vincent Benet, is one of the most dis-
cussed books of the year. It is a poem
of history, biography and romance
which is as fascinating as any novel.

After six years of silence Carl Sand-
burg has produced a volume of poems,
some long and some short, “Good
Morning, America.” The book shows

real poetic feeling but shows that
Sandburg is still an undisciplined
craftsman. From some penetrating

THE AGONISTIC

Campaign Is Pro-
gressing Rapidly

Two Large Gifts Are An-
nounced.

The campaign which was so glor-
iously inaugurated November 22 by a
campus subscription of $78,366.25 is
progressing by leaps and bounds.

Great interest centers in the an-
nouncement of two gifts of $50,000.00
each.

One is the gift of Mr. Lupton, our
oldest trustee in point of service. Mr.
Lupton has helped the college a num-
ber of times. His first gift to Agnes
Scott was Lupton Cottage in 1917. He
was one of the first subscribers in the
present campaign, and has made the
largest single gift to date. He was a
great admirer of Dr. Gaines, and it
was through his love for him that he
first became interested in Agnes Scott.
Although he is not able to visit the
college often, he is keenly interested
in all its affairs and likes to be in
close touch with its life at all times.

The second gift is from the Presser
Foundation, conditional upon the suc-
cess of the campaign in reaching its
goal of $1,500,000.00.

These two gifts bring the total sub-
scriptions up to $600,000.00.

Dr. McCain and Mr. Norton are con-
tinuing their splendid efforts, having
recently visited Newnan, LaGrange,
West Point, Griffin, Jonesboro, Dalton,
Calhoun, and Rome, and it is thought
that the goal will be reached without
any. trouble.

Co-Eds Said to Be Main Cause of
Failures at Emory

tal number of students in the College
of Arts and Sciences and the School
of Business Administration have been
placed on probation this quarter either
for lack of quality points, scholastic
standing, or discipline. This is the
largest number that has ever been on

probation in the history of the uni-
versity.

The reason for such a large number
on scholastic probation is probably
the influenza epidemic which came
at a critical time last quarter when ex-
ams were at hand, according to Regis-
trar.

Some of the students and other au-
thorities have stated that there has
been an increase in the number of co-
eds at Emory and the young men’s at-
tention in the library has been drawn
that way instead of on books.

How Co-Eds Spend Their Money at
Minnesota

Co-eds at the University of Minne-
sota spend more than $500 weekly on
chewing gum, according to the cam-
pus storekeepers. The clerks state
that more than 10,000 packages are
sold every week, of which half have
the flavor of peppermint.

“Doesn't Helen believe in elope-
ments?”

*“No, she wouldn’t even let her im-
agination run away with her.”

May Queen to Be
Elected This Week

May Day Music Is Under
Way.

The approach of March reminds us
of the fact that May Day is not far
away. Plans for celebration of the
day are being rapidly accomplished.
The solo dancers of the dance drama,
“Paris and the Golden Apple,” have
been selected. Mr. Dieckmann has com-
pleted the music for the first episode

of the drama. These first composi-
| tions are beautiful; they are decidedly
original in theme and in rhythm, and
are exquisitely adapted to the spirit
and atmosphere of the drama.

The election this week of the May
Queen will mark the climax of the
preparations for the celebration. The
honor of being May Queen is outstand-
ing, and should go to a Senior who is
representative of the student body, not
only in regal beauty and graciousness,
but also in popularity and influence.
Nominations for May Queen will be in
order Tuesday and Wednesday, Febru-
ary 26 and 27; votes will be cast
Thursday and Friday; the result of
the voting will be announced in chapel
Saturday.

that would not necessarily be a royal
flush.

Reed vs. Borah in Stirring Senate
Debate

Last week two great orators, Sen-

ator Reed of Missouri and Senator

Borah of Idaho, firm friends in private

life, arrayed themselves against each

other in a debate over prohibition.

Neither during the present session, nor

in several years, has a discussion held
the Senate and spectators more tense-
ly. Hours before the gallery doors
opened, long lines of men and women
stood in the corridors. Reed denounced
the dry law while Borah championed
its aims.

Interest was added to the encounter
by the current reports that Borah
might become Mr. Hoover’s Attorney
General.

Will Rogers says that “the war
didn’t scare the Senate as bad as Jim
Reed’s joke that he was going to tell
who voted dry and drank wet. Some
haven’t slept since he threatened doing
it. No man that has left the Senate
in many a day will be missed like
Jim.” On March 4 Senator Reed will
step out of the Senate after eighteen
years of service.

Every thousandth person in Chicago
was arrested in a recént round-up.

Faculty to Spend the
Summer Many Ways

Several Are Going to Visit
Europe.

Several members of the faculty are
planning to spend their summer in
Europe. Miss Lewis, Miss MacDougall,
and Mrs. Hayes are sailing May 18.
Miss Lewis and Miss MacDougall are
going to travel in England, and on the
continent. Mrs. Hayes is going to her
home. Dr. Sweet is also going to en-
joy a summer in Europe.

Miss Edler is planning to drive to
New York through the Shenandoah
Valley, visiting the schools and col-
leges on the way. She is to sail from
New York June 29 for San Francisco
via Panama, taking her car with her.
She is then going to drive through
Mexico, and the American and Ca-
nadian Rockies.

WATER POLO

Sophomores Defeat
Freshmen, Score 6-2

Juniors Forfeit Game to the
Seniors.

Last Wednesday night in the gym
the last water polo game of the sea-
son was played with the Sophomore
and Freshmen teams matched against |
each other. The Junior and Senior
teams were scheduled to play also,
but at the last the Juniors were forced
to forfeit the game to the Seniors on
account of an incomplete team.

This hard-fought contest between
the Sophomores and Freshmen proved
to be one of the most exciting games
of the season. Both teams were well
matched and played excellent games.
Powerful support from the sidelines
spurred each player on to do her best.
Although the Frosh lost the game to
the Sophs by a score of 6-2, neverthe-
less they put up a strong opposition.

The line-up for the game was as fol-
lows:

SOPHS FROSH
C. Hudson Forwards B. Bonham
H. Friedman D. Lander
S. Hill B. Comer
J.Thompson Guards A. Robbins
J. Shaw A. Botts
M. N. Watson Goal S. Glenn |

The water polo season closed with

" the Seniors holding first place, the

Juniors second, and the Sophomores

The water polo season is over.

Freshmen play the Juniors. The score
was 1 to 3 in favor of the Juniors.

the assembled cheerers

The Sophs, because of an incomplete

team, asked that their game be post-
poned; so on February 5, the Senior-
Soph game was played with the re-
sulting score: Sophs 3, Seniors 5. Val-
entine’s night was selected for the
Juniors to play the Sophomores. Due to
constant practice, every team had im-
proved and the suspense was terrible.
At the end of the first half, the Sophs
were holding the Juniors 3-2, but the
final score read: Seniors 7, Freshmen
0; Juniors 5, Sophomores 3. On Feb-
ruary 20, the last games were played.
This decided the championship. The
Sophs beat the Fresh 6-2, and be-
cause of an incomplete team, the Jun-
iors forfeited to the Seniors.

The Seniors now hold the title of
water polo experts. And if you have!
ever watched them play, you will un-
derstand why. Just see Pasco carry
the ball for a goal! Opposition does
no good, and the goal guard appears
paralyzed. But the Juniors held their
own pretty well, taking second place,
the only game lost being due to forfeit-
ing. The Sophomores now stand third,
and the Freshmen, although last, have
an excellent chance for next year with
Betty Comer and Betty Bonham.

Intercollegiate
Athletics

By Miss L. Wilburn

It is a clear cold afternoon with just
a little snap in it—and we're off for
the football game! When we stop to
think, we really do not approve of in-
tercollegiate athletics—in theory—but
we do want to go to the game. Why
is it? Isn’t it just a substitute for the
festival of days gone by? It’s that
holiday atmosphere, and we come from
all the neighboring towns to make
merry.

But after having said that much for
intercollegiate athletics—can we go
any further? Someone says—“It de-
velops higher skill and promotes social
intercourse.” It undoubtedly does pro-
mote a higher skill among a few, but
it also means that the few have too
much time devoted to them at the ex-
pense of the many. This “someone”
speaks up again with “But what can
be done with one’s varsity stars un-
less we have intercollegiate athletics
for them?” The answer is—student
leadership. When these students who
have ability and initiative help by im-
parting their superior technique to
others—then the college will have
“sports for all.”

As to the matter of “social inter-
course”—perhaps the solution may be
found in the “Play Days” and “Sport
Days” which are being enconraged in
some of our colleges. One type of
competition being tried is interclass-
intercollegiate athletics. Where two
colleges are situated near each other,
a team is chosen to represent each of
the four classes in one college and to
play the corresponding classes in the
other college. Another type is where a
number of students from one college
are invited to spend the day at the
other college and participate in a va-
riety of sports, For instance, ten-
nis, swimming, baseball and track
might all be going on at the same
time.

The goal undoubtedly seems to be,
in the leading women’s college any-
way, “play for play’s sake and every-
one on the field instead of in the
grandstand.” When such a program
exists—when there is opportunity for
all to play instead of a few—then and
then only will our athletics be educa-
tionally sound.

BASKET BALL

Double-Header
Marks Holiday

Juniors Tie Sophs; Seniors
Win.

The holiday began with a double-
header game at 10 o’clock—the Soph-
omores vs. Juniors and Seniors vs.
Freshmen. The Junior - Sophomore
game was played first. The Juniors
rejoiced to see Cally Nash back in her
old form, with her clean passing and
her steady shooting. Bee, too, played
up, rolling up the Junior score with
her baskets. They both threatened to
run the yellow socks off of Sprink
and Jean, but the latter not only kept

their socks, but also intercepted passes

and played a mighty good game.
Oysterette, tho’ outjumped by Julia,
played well, and was backed by
Shank’s steady playing. The pass-
work between Julia and Chopin was
fine, but Julia’s passwork to her for-
wards was rather wild at first. Zoo
is a fine guard if ever there was one.
She sticks like gum and jumps like a
kangaroo. Peggy Lou almost over-
comes her handicap in height by jump-
ing like a jumping-jack and by wav-
ing her arms most distractingly. Betty
Knox must have had an understanding
with the bail, for no sooner had it
left her hands than a basket was made.
Fine improvement, Betty! “Murry,”
too, is a good forward. Katherine
Morrow’s accuracy in shooting was
not what it has been. Tumpsy went
in as forward for Juniors in the second
half. There is one thing very notice-
able about Tumpsy—she uses her head.
Despite her injured leg, Lynn played
the clean game she always plays.
together the game was unusually free
from fouls, wherefore we rejoice. Both
teams got free better than ever be-
fore. The Junior passwork was fine.
The game ended as a tie, the score
being 23-23.

The Senior-Freshman game was not
as clean as the other. The players did
not get free as well. Fowler and Pasco
play mighty well together, but Jeebie
and Helen Sisson seemed to be at the
same place at the same time. Their
passwork was rather messy. Jeebie,
nevertheless, made the baskets as ac-
eurately as a machine. Mary Lanier

% | was not up to her usual form. Helen

Ridley and Lucile always play a calm,
skillful game. They get there and get
the ball without any loss of poise or
nervousness. Sara Bowman is good at
getting the tip-off, but at the first
part of the game she passed a little
wildly because of nervousness. Betty
Peeples is a splendid side-center, rush-

Basket Ball Gives
Way to New Season

Baseball and Track to Be
Major Sports.

The time has almost come for base-
ball and track. Now that we have
only a few more basketball games to
play we are beginning to think about
‘the prospects for our spring sports.
Everyone is particularly interested in
seeing what the Freshmen, who have
done such good work in other sports,
will do in these.

Kitty Purdy, manager of baseball,
|has announced the class managers as
follows:

Senior—Letty Pope.

Junior—Octavia Young.

Sophomore—Mildred Duncan.

Freshman—Susan Glenn.

The class boosters for the spring
are:

Senior—Elizabeth Hatchett.

Junior—Frances Messer.

Sophomore—Frances Musgrave.

Freshman—Betty Bonham.

The date for the track meet has not
been definitely decided but will prob-
ably be in May as usual.

Added to the usual events at the
track meet will be an event in archery.
As we have not had an event of this
kind before it will be watched with
particular interest.

Chopin Hudson, track manager, an-
nounces the class track managers as
follows:

Senior—Mary Nelson Logan.

Junior—Walterette Arwood.

Sophomore—Katherine Morrow.

Freshman—Downs Lander.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
ADOPTS MONOGRAM

The adoption of new chenille mono-
grams is the action that the Athletic
Association has taken in an attempt to
make the athletic award worthy of the
beautiful new college that we will have
in a few years. The chenille mono-
gram has been ordered and the as-
sociation is very pleased with its de-
sign. It is a circular design with the
letters “A-S” in purple chenille mount-
ed on white background. As a whole
it is very effective and is quite an
improvement over the old felt letters.
All of the old letters will be replaced
by the new monograms. The alumnae
are interested in this change and many
of them have put in an application for
the new monogram.

ing around like quicksilver. Diana is
a steady player always. As a guard
Mimi is fine despite her lack of
height. Speaking of guards, Anna
Robbins has all the worrisomeness of
a gnat. Flora Riley, too, played a good
game as guard; she promises well for
the future. Elizabeth Willingham’s
passwork was fine, but she was out~
jumped by Pasco. LaMyra and Penny
have simply charmed the ball. We
wonder how they do it. Poor Penny
twisted her foot and was forced to stop
playing, despite her game spirit and
willingness to keep on. The score ended
29-20, in favor of the Seniors.

Some people think that the Federal
Reserve Board is not so reserved as
it ought to be—New York Evening

She says that she enjoys attending the

“To you George Washington and your

Sophomores:

Patrick Henry (G. B. Knight, Lillie

“It is with deep appreciation

To grace this congregation
With my presence.
Since you know my proclamation
Is death or liberation,
In honor of this occasion
It make this declaration
‘te our host:

Others the cotillion.”

Following the ‘singing of the Alma
Mater, everyone did his bidding, re-
pairing one and all to the gymnasium
for further festivities. A radio had
been set up there in order that
Agnes Scott might hear the program
broadcasted from 7:00 to 7:30 from the
Biltmore Hotel, Atlanta. This program
consisted of a talk by Miss Hopkins,
a talk by Dr. McCain, and several
numbers by the Glee Club. These
were: “How do You Do, Alumnae,”
“The Alumnae Song,” “I’m a Hotten-
tot,’ “Serenade to Miss Hopkins,”
“Somebody’s Knocking at Your Door,”
“Whip-Poor-Will,” and a closing song,
“Roses of Picardy,” sung after Miss
Hopkins read some telegrams from
alumnae listening in on the program.

The next event was the dancing of
the beautiful old minuet by twelve
couples of Seniors. After this the
evening’s fun came to an end with a
regular dance, at which colonial per-
sonages and modern maidens turned
together to the dances of 1929.

Lecture Association
Brings G. McClurg

No Admission Fee to Be

Charged.

The Lecture Association has an-
nounced that it has a real treat in
store for the entire college community,
in the form of a lecture to be given
Thursday, March 7, by Gilbert Mc-
Clurg. His subject will be “Fly With
Me Over Pike’s Peak.” There is no
better known lecturer appearing on the
platform today than Gilbert McClurg.
He possesses a pleasing personality, as
well as a brilliant mind, and is thor-
oughly at home when discussing any
subject.

He lectured before students in many
of the leading Eastern colleges. He
will be the guest of the Lecture As-
sociation during his stay at Agnes
Scott.

The lecture, which will be illustrated
with interesting slides, will be entirely
free.

Scotchman at a free-for-all fight.

READER’S DIGEST
(Continued from Page Five)

dents, appreciate his defence of college
athletics—especially football.

Of special interest in the Forum for
this month is a debate between Kirby
Page, editor of “The World Tomor-
row,” and Rear Admiral Fiske, on the
momentous question “Should America
Disarm?” Mr. Page develops an in-
teresting affirmative under the title
“A New National Preparedness,” while
Rear Admiral Fiske maintains a vigor-
ous negative in revealing “The Delus-
ions of Pacifists.”

In the March Century we meet an
old friend. At least in reading Harold
J. Laski’s article “Teacher and Stu-
dent” we were certainly vividly re-
minded of our Freshman English and
the study of “The Purpose of the Col-
lege.” One of the most interesting
things in this article is Mr. Laski’s
discussions of the type of teacher the
business of a university calls for.

“Fruit Tramps,” by Perey Walton
Whitaker, gives us an entirely new
view on the subject of fruit packing.
In fact, the business of being a fruit
tramp is made so enticing we almost
feel like chucking the old history book
and hitting the trail for the nearest
orange grove.

“The Heartless Imp,” by Josephine

Bacon, is an entertaining story of a
very modern girl.

The March Harpers discusses “‘See-
ing Women As They Are,” Floyd H.
Allfort. It seems that we are to throw
aside man-made myths about our
precious personalities, and be our-
selves, Nothing easier, you say. Well,
Mr. Allfort has illuminating ideas on
the subject; look him up.

In the same magazine is “If Hoover
Fails,’ by Elmer Davis. All good
Democrats please note. The article is
worth reading. Practical politics are
not on a far-away horizon for us in
this day of woman’s rights and
suifrage.

The World Tomorrow and Time are
always worth glancing at if one only
has little hasty spare moments for
current magazines. The one embodies
a point of view; the other, facts. And
do put on a cynical little sneer and
peruse the far-famed American Mer-
cury.

CHARLOTTE HUNTER ELECTED MAY QUEEN

May Queen Is
Announced

A.S. C. and Davidson Agree
on Prettiest Girl.

The May Queen for 1929 will be
Charlotte Hunter, elected last week
to reign over the pageant on May 4.
Charlotte is from Davidson, N. C. She
is tall and slender, and of dark, bru-
nette beauty. For two years she has
been a maid in the May Queen’s court
and is therefore well fitted to take her
place as queen of the festivities this
year.

Besides her beauty Charlotte pos-
sesses charm and graciousness. She is
one of the most beloved members of
her class and is a decidedly representa-
tive Hottentot in all phases of college
activities.

“The king was in his counting house
Counting out his money,

The queen was in the parlor
Bating bread and honey.”

And since King E. Willie, Ruler, of
Mardi Gras, was’so busily counting his
gold and Queen Charlotte of May Day,
equally busy, was eating her bread
and honey (the honey in this case
happened to be sugar), when humbly
approached to be interviewed, they had
not time to grant their subject much
of an interview. But in the case of
Queen Charlotte, since the time was
the lunch hour, there were many de-
voted subjects who gladly contributed
thoughts. Duchess Eugenia McDon-
ald said that bread and sugar was
the Queen’s endorsed method of keep-
ing that school-girl complexion. Her
Highness gracefully nodded acquies-
cence between queenly mouthfuls. Sub-
vassal Mildred McCalip boldly declar-
ed that Fate had destined long ago
that Her Royalty should be coronated
as Queen of May, because she wears
the Senior gown that has been worn
by three May queens before her, their
nighnesses, Edith Coleman, Mary
Weems, and Mary Belle McConkey.

During all the discussion, Queen
Charlotte lost her royal dignity never.
Even when one base subject treacher-
ously whispered that Her Highness
had been practicing a stately walk be-
fore the mirror since the news of her
election, she merely dismissed such an
unworthy thought with a royal ges-
ture and commanded the immediate
beheading of said subject.

King E-Willie, younger and more
inexperienced, had not quite gained
the kingly demeanor that he will ac-
quire as soon as he realizes the im-
portance of his position. Rather bash-
fully he replied, when asked how it
felt to become royal over-night, “I’m
not quite used to it yet—but I think
it’s fine!”

Lucky King E. Willie.
Charlotte.

lto the forthcoming

Contest Judges

This appearance of the Agonistic
marks the third of the issues of the
class contest. The preceeding editions
have been exceedingly original and
very excellent papers.

According to the plan of the con-
test, representatives of the three lead-
ing Atlanta papers were invited to
serve as judges. Mr. Hunter Bell,
city editor of the Journal; Mr. Thomas
Arnold, city editor of the Georgian,

,and Mr. N. S. Noble, city editor of the

Constitution, haye accepted the invi-
tation. Several previous issues and
the four class editions will be judged
together for comparison.

The contest is arousing much gen-
eral interest in the Agonistic and is
giving experience to many students
who have not done work of this kind
heretofore. Suggestions for better
arrangement of material, new and at-
tractive cuts will be a distinct addition
issues of the
Agonistic.

Rotarian Luncheon

The Rotary Vlub ot ATianta has in-
vited all “daughters of Rotarians” to
a luncheon in their honor on Wednes-
day, March 12, at the Capital City
Club.

This is an annual occasion and those
who are fortunate enough to be daugh-
ters of Rotarians look forward to this
occasion with a great deal of pleasure.
Marian Green has charge of the pro-
gram which is being arranged. About
fifty girls expect to go to the lunch-
eon.

French Club to
Present Play

French really is quite the thing on

| the campus now, sponsored by our own

little French girl, the teas given by
the members of the French Depart-
rent, and the persistent rumors that
some of our number are exchanging
gear old Agnes Scott next year for the
broadening influence of the Sorbonne.
The French Club, in order to give
those who desired a peep into French
society the opportunity, presented by

one-act comedy of manners by de
Musset. Miss Alexander had been

coaching the play, and both the acting
and the pronunciation of the actors
was all that could be desired. The
Emory French Club was invited to join
us to enjoy this rare treat, and a most
enjoyable social hour followed.

The fame of the production spread
abroad and will be presented Thursday
afternoon before the Atlanta branch of
the Alliance Francaise at the home of
Monsieur Loridan.

the Alliance and is vice-president of
the Southeastern section of the Fed-

and has secured Miss Alexander to

be given after her talk as an illustra-

House, entered waiting cars and pro-
ceeded to the capital. There, in the Sen-
ate chamber, after the retiring speech
of Mr. Dawes and the adjournment of
the Senate, Mr. Curtis was administer-

j ed the oath of office and called the new

Senate to order.

At last Mr. Hoover appeared with
Mr. Coolidge. A procession formed
quickly and filed out to the enormous
platform built above the east front of
the main part of the Capitol. Here Mr. |
Hoover delivered his inaugural address, |
and here Mr. Taft, Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court, administered to him
the oath of office.

The following comment was made
recently: “You can’t tell which group
elected Hoover until you see which one
maddest because it can’t run
things.” We of the college community
are inclined to disagree. As any one

concerned will tell you Hoover was our
candidate from start to finish. Last
spring we nominated him by a large
majority and last fall we elected him
President. We are convinced that we
put him in the White House. But for
those who cast their votes with the
minority we would quote from an
article by Elmer Davis: “A candidate
is the candidate of a party, but a
President is President of the whole |

Saturday night, March the sixteenth,
the gallant ship “Collegiana” will em-
bark on the noble quest, seeking the
desired $1,000,000 for a bigger and
better Agnes Scott. None other but
the fearless Sophomores direct the
unknown course of this sturdy ship.
Never in the history of the universe
has a passage-list ever been more dis-
tinguished or lovable—Collegians all!!

On the voyage the youthful youths
of today will set the pace for the fu-
ture generations to come—of ultra
modernity. If you, perchance have em-
bodied within you the spirit of 1492,
under every circumstance be sure to be
present when the gangplank of “our

Student Elections

Yes, we can say again—The Time
Has Come! But this time it seems
that time has stolen a march on the
student body—for the time has come
for student elections. The nominations
March 11,
and the elections will come the follow-

ing week.
The student elections is one of the
most serious responsibilities that

faces the college, not only as a col-
lepe but also it is a responsibility
that comes to every student. At this
time we are confronted with the
probiem of choosing our leaders for

the following year.

Agnes Scott Enjoys

Fellowship Dinner

Hottentots were transported across the
waters to a school supported by the
World Fellowship organization. Flags
of many countries could be seen every-
where; France, Germany, England,
and our own United States were repre-
sented, and Japanese lanterns added
to the loveliness of the scene.

Mardi Gras Is
Brilliant Success

!Freshmen Reign Over Fes-
tivities.

Thru the kindness of the Seniors
Agnes Scott was transformed into a
festive fairyland Saturday night, for
from the magic hours of eight till ten
King Elizabeth Willingham and Queen
Charlotte Teasley reigned over a
masked and motley throng. Mardi Gras
was an unusual suecess—from the en-
trance of the King and Court until the
disappearance of the fantastic crowd
at the ten o’clock bell. The festival
began with the impressive entrance of
the court and the crowning of the
queen by the king. The lords of the
court with their beautiful ladies were
Helon Brown with Jean Lamont, Lynn
Moore with Virginia Sears, Ditty
Winter with Katherine Owen, and
Laura Rawn with Lucile Sherritt.
Mimi O’Bierne and Louise Yerxa were
the train-bearers and jesters. His
Majesty’s purple robe and ermine-
lined train were emblematic of his
rank and dignity and his queen’s bru-
nette beauty was enhanced by her
regal dress of white tulle and satin.

Between dances the class stunts
were given. The Juniors presented an
amusing little play with Virge Shaff-
ner as the wild husband, Callie Nash,
| Mary Cope, and Peggy Lou Armstrong
as his “lady-loves,” and Dorothy
Smith, his old-fashioned wife.

The Freshmen were well represent-
ed by Christine Grey and Anna Rob-
bins in a clever skit.

The Sophomores gave the winning
stunt, a vaudeville with Director Me-
Calip and her “Silentphonic” orches-
tra, with songs by Kitty Reid and
Shirley McPhaul as State Street Sadie,
a dance by Margaret McCoy as Spirits
of Ammonia, and Chopin Hudson as
stage comedian.

Downs Lander’s Captain Kidd cos-
tume was voted the most attractive
and honorable mention went to Ruth
Dunwody.
Mardi Gras was the culmination of

exciting struggle between the
lelasses to have their candidate as
King. Wednesday night the class
campaign managers gave their
speeches in the gymnasium. Virginia
Herrin gave a stirring address in be-
half of the Freshman candidate, Eliz-
abeth Willingham. Jeannette Shaw
spoke for the Sophomore candidate, D.
Winter. Sarah Townsend spoke in her
usual style for Lynn Moore and
Adah Knight was the “stump-
speaker for the Senior candidate,
Helon Brown. The Freshmen were
victorious and Elizabeth Willingham
was named King of Mardi Gras.

IDEALS

“But to every man there openeth
A High Way and a Low,
And every man decideth
The Way his soul shall go.”

To you a soul may seem a gray, inanimate thing that you can't
see or imagine—but to me it seems a very real, very vital part of
life. The everyday, material part of life is taken care of by our
bodies, but it is the soul that contains all our strivings, our wishes
and our desires. It is when we are realizing our soul, making it
really a part of us, that we “see visions and dream dreams.” Isn’t
that the part of us that has to do with ideals? What is an ideal?
Is it something far off on a fleecy cloud, something to be dreamed
about, and longed for, with never a hope of attainment? Or rather
is it our best selves—the selves we want to be now—not a long
time off when we are feeble and grayhaired, but NOW, when we
are straight, when we are clean, when we have youth.

Our ideal may change, it may have already, and it may some
more, but so long as we are never satisfied with anything less than
the best it is an ideal. There are times when this ideal of yours
may seem very far away and unattainable, and you think you
might as well be a material person, not a personality. The best
cure for that, I know, is the stars—when everything is quiet and
peaceful, and you and the stars are alone—you have the world to
yourself. Then is it yours, ready to be conquered! Then do you
realize the youth, the joy, the life that is yours—and the stars
looking down symbolizing that idea of perfection in their beauty
and distance, bid you look up, and by looking up, gaze on life calmly
and unafraid.

I would hate to attain an ideal—else why keep on living?
Rather tease yourself—keep on making yourself think success is
almost there, when the real YOU knows it is the unattainable, that
makes all the urge and desire. Keep the stars for your ideal, and
with head up, the mud of the world will not daunt you!

NOW

We are always being told that this is an Age of Opportunity,
a time when our advantages are beyond anything our grand-
mothers ever dreamed. But do we think much about it? Or
doesn’t it seem to us just another one of those things which Age
has told Youth ever since the world began? We take what comes
to us—for the most part—as a matter of course—something that
we expected all along. That does not seem to be the way to get
the most out of life. Isn’t it rather commonplace to sit back and
take all the beautiful things which are a part of everyday, just as
though they were nothings. Oh, that every day, every moment
of life could be a Glorious Adventure! That every step we take
could be a Royal Road to Romance Let’s enjoy ourselves and
make a game of everything that comes to us—of life, itself. So
live every day to the fullest—why dream of the future, it’s
mystery and uncertainty which frighten even those who love ad-
venture—and get the most from it. Let’s love Life, and Joy and
the Present

Book Reviews

Wise Sophomores! When I was a
Freshman I spake as a Freshman, I
thought as a Freshman, but now that
I am become a Sophomore I see
through a glass even more darkly.
It had been my illusion as a very green
Freshman that Sophomores were wise
—theirs was a wisdom the result of
reading, How I longed to be a Sopho-
more with time to read. And now, I,
a Sophomore, am so busy trying to
keep up with my reading slips, that I
do not find time to read the newer
books and much less some of the old
dust-covered ones I see on the library
shelves, A stranger fear came to me
—perhaps I was not impressing the
Freshmen as a “would-be-wise” Soph
should. I immediately rushed about
seeking some information about good
books from friends in order that I
might talk intellectually, even though
I had not read extensively.

Believing that the Seniors had had
more time in which to learn the quali-
ties of a good book, I went in search
of members of my sister class. The
first one of whom I thought was the
editor of the Aurora—Mary Ellis—
of course, she would be a good judge
of books. I was delighted when she
said that she liked one of Barrie’s
books, “Sentimental Tommy.” She
said frankly that her reason for liking
this book was very personal—it was
the first book which made her cry.
Mary’s favorite drama is (as she says)
very moving, Rostand’s “Cyreno de
Bergerac.” Her fayorite among the
modern novels is Galsworthy’s “For-
syte Saga” because she considers it a
real representation of the modern
novel at its best.

Eugenia McDonald also favors the
“Forsythe Saga.” I was a bit surprised
(having been a Freshman once) to
hear Eugenia say that she was quite
fond of Thackeray’s ‘Vanity Fair,”
but I understood why when she told
me that her uncle had given her a
dollar to read it.

It was.good to hear a Phi Beta
Kappa, Eleanor Lee Norris, say that
she has read “Little Women” six or
seven times. “The Mad Carews,” by
Martha R. Stinsow, held for her a
compelling fascination. But Eleanor
Lee said that really anything with a
historic background interested her.

History likewise has an appeal for
Esther Nesbit Anderson, for among
her favorites is “Elizabeth and Essex,”
in which she believes Lytton Strachey
makes Elizabeth a true character and
“Francois Villon,” in which the author
gives the spirit of the man and his
writing. Esther likes “The Prophet”
for Kahlil] Gibran’s sheer beauty of ex-
pression.

Now encouraged by a knowledge of
some books, I braved interviews with
Juniors (last year’s Sophs whom I had
admired from afar). I found Peggy
Lou and Alice Jernigan in the same
room. As soon as I mentioned books
they both began flinging titles at me,
and when I timorously interrupted and
asked for favorites they said that it
was as easy for them to choose fayor-
ites as to count the stars but that
they would give me a list of some
books they liked. They both liked
“Porgy” (DuBose Heyward), though
for rather different reasons. Peggy
Lou enjoyed reading it because it is
not another of those “problem novels”
and is full of atmosphere. Alice liked
the description of a storm, In “Trans-
lations From the Chinese” Alice ap-
preciated the humor, particularly that
of the preface and the end, while
Peggy Lou like “the way in which
Christopher Morley laughs at human-
ity in a nice way.” They liked “The
Bridge of San Luis Rey,” for Thorton
Wilder gives a true meaning to life,
a real conception of everlasting love.
Alice chose “John Brown’s Body” be-
cause of its poetry and its portrayal of
Civil War characters. Peggy Lou liked
“Jeremy at Crale” because it is not a
love story and gives a good deserip-
tion of any boy in college. Alice also
liked one of Hugh Walpole’s “Winters-
moon” chiefly because the character
of the old house dominates.

Rae Wilson declared that her choice
would depend on her mood. The real-
ism of Galsworthy satisfies her in one
mood, the fantasy of Alain-Fournier in
“The Wanderer” suits her in another,
and the truth and beauty of Kahlil

mood,

And now having “gleaned from the
wisdom of all the years,” I feel as
though I am a real Sophomore.

VOX POPULI

We think that the meals at Agnes
Scott are better than at any other
school we know of and as good as
most people have at home. Yet food
is the chief topic of discussion at meal-
time. Criticism of the food is largely
a matter of habit. Every day we hear
some Hottentot remark; “I guess I'll
have to eat this old stuff, since they
haven’t got anything else.” The girl
next to her agrees, and so the story
goes. Those who complain of the food
do not realize how much they are in-
terfering with other girls’ digestion. |
My own appetite immediately leaves
when some one comments unfavorably
on the food. So, for the sake of the
girl next you at the table, try to aunt |
vate the habit of not complaining of
the diet. Or, if you must complain,
why not complain to the girl in your
dining room who is on the food com-
mittee ?

and back up, to the last notch those
who have the principles and welfare
of our school at heart! Several schools
have had to do away with Student
Government and to revert to faculty
rule because the students did not co-
operate and failed to carry out Student
Government. Are we too going to join
the ranks of the failures?
G:-H.,,,b2.

We think mud pies and big, bad,
ugly mud puddles are all right for
childhood days, but we can’t quite ap-
preciate their pursuing us through col-
lege. Since there are no Sir Walter
Raleighs with velvet coats, or even
with collegiate slickers, on the cam-
pus we suggest that the muddy walks
be improved. Then, we think, we would
not bring so much of Mother Earth
into the buildings on our feet.

M. S.

W.

We Think—that is the name of this
column, do you really believe that we
do think? Perhaps we do think a
thing out just a little bit, but do we
THINK? From the above you are
brought to draw the conclusion that
this is going to be a “We Think” on
thinking . . well, it isn’t going to
be at all. It is going to be about a
question that a few have thought
something about any of which fewer
still have seen the real value.

If that is the requirement for this,
then there is only one thing that this
could be about and that is ROOM IN-
SPECTION. Or should I say the omis-
sion of room inspection? We will admit
there are those who clean their rooms
for the sole reason that if they don’t
there will be a very apologetic note
reminding them of the fact that “this
room is not neat.” Or perhaps they
found that note last week and this
week it will be “This room is far
from neat.” Well, it makes very little
difference what the contents of the
note are, the point of the discussion is
that the majority don’t really care
what is said about their rooms. Those
that are going to clean up will do so
and those who aren’t just aren’t.
Why not give an opportunity to prove
just either how badly our rooms would
look without inspection, or how good
they would look? We certainly don’t
know, but we think they could be no
worse.

There is one hobby that is enjoy-
ed by the majority of us—the hobby of
criticising. The especial object of late
on our campus has been Exec. When
a case which has dangled feverishly on
for some time is suddenly dropped,
Exec has not been on the job; if a
case is dealt with in which a penalty
ensues, Exec is inexcusably cruel! and
thus it goes. There is present also an
unhealthy attitude toward Exec. mem-
bers. Stop!—Sh! Here comes So-and-
So!” And on the whole there exists
anything but co-operation with Exec.
on the part of students.

Perhaps it never occurred to many
of us that Exec. (whose members were
without experience before placed on
the committee), before it can issue a
penalty, must furnish such proof as
will stand before a jury of twelve men.
This evidence, if not sufficient proof
would not prevent a suit against our
for any sum. Then let us not be so
quick to criticise when a case is “drop-
ped,” for even the best of law courts
have difficulties in finding evidence,
and besides, we should be thankful
when a case can be dropped.

We ourselves have chosen these
girls for their task—by no means sim-
ple—of representing our democracy in
the school government and in electing
them, we have put our confidence in
them. Is it not our responsibility and
privilege not to condemn and criti-
cise—we who canont know the facts

of any situation, but to co-operate with J. Macc. G., 731.

“It’s great to be a Georgian,” we'll all admit that’s true,
Especially since the street cars go to and fro and to—
The great city of Atlanta where we like to shop and go,
To luncheon or to theater or to a picture show.

In case you've never tried it, be sure to try—you'll see

The street car drives you quickly to where your date

The car stops are convenient, you never have to wait,

And if you ride the street car, you certainly will “rate”!

THE AGONISTIC

Juniors and Seniors

Victors Wednesday

Whoopee! If you didn’t see the
Junior-Freshman basketball game
Wednesday night you missed one of
the best games of the season. Both
teams entered the game with that
fighting spirit and a determination to
come out with only victory. Bowman
and Moore fought hard over the tip-
offs, and each time the side centers
were right on the job. All four for-
wards worked hard against the steady
guards, and made some beautiful goals
—the kind that Nash and Kane usual-
ly shoot. The first half ended with
the Freshmen leading. The Juniors
came in the second half more de-
termined to win than ever. Such ex-
citement! The gym roared as both
teams ran neck and neck with each
other, but just at the right moment—
for the Juniors—the whistle blew with
the score, 35-34.

The line-up was:

JUNIORS FRESHMEN
Nash Kane
Miller Riley
Moore Bowman
Shanklin Peeples
Woolford O’Beirne
Armstrong Dyer
Shaffner Robbins

The Sophomore-Senior game was
not quite so exciting at first, but in
the last half there was much ex-
citement and enthusiasm. At the end
of the first half the Seniors were
hurrying fast to victory and things
were looking very one-sided. But the
daring Sophs picked up their pep and
enthusiasm, and began to roll up their
score. The whistle blew a little too
soon for them, and the mighty Seniors
came out victorious with a score of

33-22.

The line-up was:

SENIORS SOPHOMORES
Knight Sprinkle
Lanier Morrow
Pasco Terrell
Johnston Hudson
Ridley Grey
Bridgman Hill
Pope Purdie

Basket Ball Ends
With Close Games

Sephomores vs. Freshmen, Score 25-25.

Seniors vs. Juniors, Score 22-20.

All four teams came out with the
purpose of making their last game the
best, and they succeeded.

The Sophomores and Freshmen
started off the double-header with
quick, steady playing. The ball whiz-
zed from one end of the court to the
other, and some pretty shooting was
done on both sides. During the en-
tire game the scores were within three
points of each other, and the specta-
tors were probably as tired as the
players when the game ended in a tie.
It was a peppy, exciting game, and
both teams played well.

The score-tying seemed to be con-
tagious, for the Juniors and Seniors
stayed right together in their game
too. Some one on the side line kept
yelling, “Untie that tie,” but both
sides answered the command and the
score remained tied. A last goal, how-
ever gave the game to the Seniors, in
spite of the new technique introduced
by the Junior guards to keep the ball
away from the basket. The game was
interesting and well played, and the
teams evenly matched.

Volley Ball
Season Closes

The volley ball season ended with
a feeble flourish Friday night. The
Seniors quaked and even Letty’s
strong right arm quailed before Gus-
sie’s flaming breeches and powerful
serve. The advent of Callie Nash at
the half added another strong member
to the Junior team, and the Seniors
were completely defeated with a final
score of 46-7.

The Freshmen and Sophomores were
much more evenly matched and played
a more exciting game. MceCalip and
Dyer had a little tournament of their
own for a while, with Diana as ulti-
mate victor.” Mildred got several long
series of serves, but all too late, for
the whistle stopped the game with the
score 20-15 in favor of the Fresh-
men.

These games decided the tourn-
ament, with three classes tying for
first place—Sophomores, Juniors and
Freshmen—and the Seniors taking sec-
ond place.

French Club
Receives Gift

The French Club has recently re-
ceived a beautiful copy of “St. Gene-
vieve Watching Over Sleeping Paris,”
by Puvis de Chavannes, from Miss
Alexander and Miss Phythian. Miss
Phythian secured the picture while she
was in Paris. It is an exquisite study
in blues and greys and is taken from
the original which is in a series of
murals on the walls of the Pantheon.
These murals depict scenes from
French history from St. Genevieve to
Joan of Are.

DR. DE JONGE
VISITS SHORTER

Theta Theta Chapter of Beta Pi
Theta French Fraternity at Shorter
College had the pleasure recently of
having as its guest Dr. A. W. R. de
Jonge, professor of German at Agnes
Scott College, who gave the faculty
and French students of the college a
most interesting talk on French
poetry. At the close of his talk, Dr.
de Jonge sang a number of French
songs. He read selections from Villen,
du Bellay, Ronsard, Moliere, Racine,
Beranger, Hugo, de Musset and La-
martine. Dr. de Jonge also sang at
the chapel hour on Saturday and visit-
ed all the language classes.—Shorter

With Our Clubs

K. U. B. held one of their most in-
teresting and enjoyable meetings of
the year last Thursday evening at five
o'clock. The club was fortunate in
having one of the editors of the At-
lanta Journal, Mr. Gregory, for their
principal speaker. Mr. Gregory was
introduced by Helen Ridley, the presi-
dent of K. U. B. He related some of
his experiences in the newspaper field
and concluded with some sound and
practical advice to the amateur journ-
alists.

B. O. Z. met with Mary Trammel
on Monday night. Helen Ridley, Eu-
genia McDonald and Ellene Winn read
stories which were interesting both
‘from the viewpoint of style and con-
tent. B. O. Z. has postponed its
meeting with the alumnae until later
in the spring.

The members of the Cotillion Club,
Miss Hollingsworth, Miss Wilburn and
Miss Hale, entertained with a tea-
dance in the Cotillion Clubroom on
Friday afternoon from four to six.
Delightful refreshments were served
and Mike McDaniel’s music added
very much to the dance.

A Moon at Agnes Scott

It was dark now

The moon was shining

Down on the girl,

A savage light was in her eyes

And her hair

Was flung to the wild winds

The moon was white and cool—

The aix—soft and sweet to feel.

She felt primitive, rustic .. .

Alone, under the moon

A Hottentot

Alone—always alone

Under the moon.

Commander Byrd and his compan-
ions have been left at the Antarctic
base, while the expedition’s flagship,
City of New York, has returned to

New Zealand for the winter. The
Eleanor Bolling, the supply ship, is on
her way to the Base, but if she should
be cut off by ice, we will be in con-
tact with the expedition only by radio
until the thaws of next December.

Next week, work will start on the
construction of the first ocean air-
port, a landing field on the water half-
way between New York and Bermuda.
It is to be used in transatlantic air-
plane service. The airport is to be a
steel platform, twelve hundred feet
long and four hundred feet wide.
Normally, it will ride a hundred feet
above the surface of the ocea.n It is
to be manned by forty-three men, who
will take care of the landing field, the
machine-shop, the hotel, the restaur-
ant, and the radio-beacon. When the
airport is finished, a plane will be able
to leave New York at six o’clock in
the morning and reach Plymouth, Eng-
lanud, at four-thirty the following
afternoon.

We all remember how Cecil Roberts
told us that Central Europe is divided
into two factions: one led by France,
the other by Italy. Now, The New
York Times informs us that the
| Naval Policy of the United States will
|be of influence in the affairs of this
part of Europe. If, in case of war
between the two factions, we keep our
freedom of the seas, we will thus
nullify the League blockade that
should have been ordered to stop the

Agnes Scott
In Business

I would like to shout from the
an Alumna!” Tt is a strange state-
ment, in as much as millions of stu-
dents are striving toward just that
end. But unless one definitely plans
to change Academic Robe for Bridal
; Veil—to step from the campus into a
social whirl—to be content to “stay at
home”—or to march on to higher de-
|grees in larger institutions of learn-
ing, the end seems to be the carefree
days between the last examination and
graduation day followed by a glowing
summer, rather than the far-reaching
suggestion of “Alumna” which des-
cends with rather a heavy weight as
the fall approaches and plans for the
future are still nebulous.

Facing facts squarely, you soon
realize—and professors admit—that a
| liberal arts college is fitting you con-
cretely for nothing except educational
work, in various phases, and certain
scientific positions. While a college
would be eminently worth while if it
did nothing beyond that, there are at
least 50% of the students who prefer
to hew out careers in business, liter-
ary or artistic fields. They finish col-
lege with a cultural education, with
recommendations from several profes-
sors, but without a concrete proof of
ability or specialized knowledge in a

war. On the cther hand, if we prom-
ise not to help either side, the war
will probably fade away, for Europe
has seen that she cannot carry on war
without America’s aid.

And, speaking of Conferences, Cam-
erlynch, the beloved interpreter for
the Paris Peace Conference, the Wash-
ington Conference, and the First
Dawes Committee, died in Paris last
week. He has received the personal
thanks of Lloyd George and Woodrow
Wilson; and was told by Arthur James
Balfour, chief of the British Delega-
tion to the Washington Conference,
“Mr. Camerlynch, I shall undoubtedly
meet you in Heaven.”

“Tl Papa! Il Papa Consolatore!”
cried sixty thousand Italians as they
knelt in the Basilica of St. Peter’s.
Outside, two hundred thousand more
stood bareheaded in the rain. They
were celebrating the fact that the
Papacy and the government had patch-
ed up their fifty-nine-year feud. His
Holiness entered with great ceremony
to meet several state officials, and
then to bless the crowd from his bal-
cony. Later, he exclaimed, speaking
of the treaty with the government,
“Tt gives God back to Italy, and Italy
back to God!”

single commercial line. It is this con-
crete proof, this eternal “past experi-
ence” or “special training” sought by
each elected-employer that makes you
quaver and meekly murmur “college.”

It is then that the newsboy-to-execu-
tive employer, who scorns college nin-
compoops, as ~vell as the gracious offi-
cial must be convinced that you are
willing to start in a lowly manner,
that your college training has helped
you in a general way which may be
applied specifically to his work, and
that, above all, you are willing to
learn.

Next to practical past experience,
an employer is interested in the activ-
ities with which you were identified in
‘college. The majority of applications
for graduates question you in detail
for fully two of the four pages about
these activities. Of course, I imagine
that if you could say “Agnes Scott,
Phi Beta Kappa,” the executive would
immediately spring forward in his
swivel chair and sign you up under
contract. But unless you mention it
the employer probably will not. At
least, not one of the too-many-to-list
whom [ interviewed asked me a single
embarrassing question on the subject.

They want to know what associa-
tions you belonged to—what offices
yor held. It is of inestimable value to
be able to correlate these activities
with the work for which you are ap-
»~lying. Willingness to learn and an
interest previously shown in that type
of work will substitute for definite ex-
perience if anything will.

Of all fields, it had seemed to me
that advertising was impregnable
without special courses. It never oc-
curred to me to apply for that fasci-
nating, but far removed work until a
series of circumstances literally sent
me into it.

There are three distinct phases of
advertising—commercial art, layout
making and copy writing. The artists,
naturally, are responsible for the at-
tractive figures and backgrounds that
draw your eyes to the ad. The layout
is the plan of the entire ad, carefully
schemed to assure proper proportions,
a pleasing general impression, an em-
phasis upon the items on sale. The
copy writer inspects the items, notes
their spacing and position on the lay-
out and “writes them up” as enticing-
ly as possible.

Work on the Agonistic correlated
with this in an amazing way. Above
everything else the Agonistic develops
accuracy and consciousnes of respons-
ibility and time. These qualities are
essential in most businesses, but es-
pecially in advertising. An inaccurate
description may make valuable cus-
tomers loose faith in the store. A mis-
quoted price may cost the firm hun-
dreds of dollars for articles must be
sold as advertised. There is a weekly
routine of regular ads for which cer-
tain people are responsible. It is up
to them, unreminded, to send those ads
to the newspapers the day before they
are to appear—to follow the ad
through until proofs have been revised
‘and an O. K. stamped on the final
proof. Although advertising depart-
ments generally have a proof reader,
there are times when anyone may be
called upon to read proofs.

A Student Policeman

Evanston, I1l.—Herman Cohen, stu-
dent in the College of Law at North-
western University, has a rather novel
and unique way of paying his college
expenses. While most loyal North-
westerners are in the clasp of Mor-
pheus, Cohen tramps up and down the
streets of Evanston as the representa-

tive of the law. Last Monday night |

he had the unusual experience of hav-
ing his face badly frozen while fac-
ing the bitter cold north wind.—

Honor System

According to an editorial in the Ar-
row, P. C. W., Yale has partly aban-
doned her honor system and has re-
verted to faculty supervision at the
request of the student council. This
action grew from a feeling that the
pledge was no longer effective be-
cause of cheating and refusal to re-
port violations. Yale Freshmen, how-
ever, will proceed upon the honor
basis,

Other universities have reiterated
their faith in the honor system. Wash-
ington and Lee University and Vir-
ginia Military Institute declare that
the system has never failed to cut
down cheating. On the other hand,
students of the University of Texas
recently voted to discontinue the use
of the honor system.—The Wilson Bill-
board.

Collegiania Soars Toward the Heavens

Aviation in American Colleges and
Universities has been progressing by
leaps and bounds within the last year.
A striking example is to be found in
the case of Harvard University, where
the Harvard Flying Club has its own
plane which is used daily by the stu-
dents of the University. Each year
a new plane is purchased by the mem-
bers of the club. The operation of the
club itself has been so successful that
its members now offer to help students
at other universities to form a similar
organization.

At Yale the Flying Club will un-
doubtedly buy a plane this year. Other
schools soon to follow are New York
University, Massachusetts Tech, Geor-
gia Tech, Stanford, California, Michi-
gan, Illinois, and Minnesota. Wherever
there are courses in aeronautics—and
there are about seventy large institu-
tions now offering such courses—aero
and flying clubs are being formed.
The great interest now shown in avia-
tion in American Colleges and Uni-

Our best wishes go to the Sophs

the fact that many students who hope

The Black List

We hear a lot about what is con-
sidered the sporting thing to do, There
is a deplorable state of affairs on our
campus now, due to the failure of some
to correctly interpret and apply their
knowledge of the sporting thing to do
as concerns our Budget. The thirty-
six students who have not yet paid
their Budget for the first semester are
causing a shortage in the funds of our
organizations amounting to three hun-
dred, sixty dollars. If a similar sit-
uation continues throughout this pres-
ent semester, the financial state of af-
fairs will not be able to improve.
This shortage will necessarily mean a
decline in our, so-called, “outside” ac-
tivities. Is it necessary?

Loyalty to the school enters into the
problem. Any one of us would sternly
deny that the term parasite could ap-
ply to her. Yet, we are certainly not
working as compatriots and doing our
part when we refuse to pay the Bud-
get. The disadvantages, to ourselves,
being non-participants in athletics and
non-recipients of the weekly and quar-
terly publications—then being public-
ly proclaimed as such on a necessary
but unwanted “blacklist”, are not the
only things to be considered. We are
taking something from every organi-
zation on the campus and giving back
nothing.

That an ununified condition like
this should exist is inconceivable. An
awakening to the realization that
each one of us means something to

the very one that Mr. Kipling wrote a

Anyway, when Yellow Tiger, who
now had black spots, was about eigh-

Scott Type

February 27, 1899.

Dear William,

Frederick and I spent such a jolly
week-end in Atlanta that I must write
and tell you about it. Unele Horace
was a dandy host—on Saturday night
he made appointments for us with two
young coquettes at the Agnes Scott
Institute. This suited us fine, although
we had never met the young ladies for,
as you know, Agnes Scott’s reputation
for charm and beauty is widespread
over the South.

We spruced up till we looked like the
Arrow suspenders advertisements. I
looked quite well, but you really
should have seen Frederick, the gay
dog. Of course we both wore brown
and white checked trousers, faun-col-
ored spats, flowered vests, bow-ties,
and brown derbies. But Frederick had
a new broadcloth overcoat with a fur
collar. It was cut up high in the back
and was a good, snug, tight fit. He
looked like a regular young masher;
I never saw such a dude!

We thought we were going to have
to go out in the old family surrey, but
good old Uncle let us have his new

other and said together, “Just the

They knew how to dress stylishly, too,

One felt it immediately—in the very
atmosphere. They were not like the
girls one meets nowadays. Somehow
they made me think of mother.

I was uncertain just what one did
while visiting the young ladies at the
Institute, so I suggested that we go
riding in the buggy. The girls seemed
very surprised and explained that they
could not go riding with us men. I
was sorry, but thought it was very
sweet of them to uphold the rules of
their Alma Mater.

We went across a colonnade to the
new Rebekah Scott Hall, where we sat
in a cozy little parlor. Miss Mary,
the young lady whom Frederick had
an engagement with, played “The
Bicycle Built for Two”; and I asked
Miss Ellen to two-step. She explained
that such an action on her part would
be a flagrant disregard of the ideals
of the college. So we sat and talked
about life and the new poets,

The morning proof of my first ad

office saying: “I will show you how
to read proofs.” She saw half the
page already marked up, and that I
was busily correcting the remainder.
“Oh! You did that on the college

Every reporter knows that in some
way she must put in her article the
four w’s. The consciousness of this
important rule stands one in good
stead in advertising, where it is just
as essential to bring out the features
of the advertised merchandise. De-
scription, stressing the unusual fea-
tures, might be the “what”; the story
of special purchase, if there is one, the
“why”; and the when and where of
sale.

This is but a single concrete and
personal example of the fact that ac-
tivities in college correlate most help-
fully with commercial work.

In the larger ads, in specialized
fashion ads or original “tricky” ads,
there is no end to the extent you will
use your knowledge of history, poetry,
drama, styles of olden days gleaned
from history and English, figures bor-
rowed from mathematics and sciences.
You need a boundless and accurate
knowledge at your fingertips to scat-
ter enticing bits in the copy—to work
out about a central theme an original
ad that may be staged on the High-
lands of modern Scotland or in the
France of Marie Antoinette.

Students have been discouraged
lately by magnates who say: “Why
four years of liberal study?” You can
not put your finger on a cultural edu-
cation and say it relates phrase for
phrase with business—but you will
feel it as a veritable stone wall of
support—a flight of steps, almost
spiritually hewn, yours alone, to lead
you on to greater heights.

Those of you who are thinking of
careers should use college activities to
test out your real interest in the
chosen line, It is easy to fall in love
with a name, the “sound” of a type
of work, and to face, after years of
dreaming, the realization that the
work is really not at all congenial. It
is braver to face such a fact and plot
out another course than to sail on into
shoals of uncertainty and dissatisfac-
tion. College will guard you from
such shoals if you will study to retain

Dear Bill:

Fred and I spent last week-end in
Macon and dragged two Circes from
Agnes Scott. We flew over in Uncle’s
new sports model biplane. It was a
knockout, with a red propeller! The
landing field was back of an ancient
building which the girls afterwards
told us was the library. We walked
up to another prehistoric old edifice
with a tower. We went in it, and signed
our names in an old book yellowed
with age. Then we went in the par-
lor to wait. The Circes came in short-
ly—they were whizzes, take it from
me! They wore the latest tatters and
the new coiffure—head shaved, sand-
papered, and varnished. But, some-
how, there was something different
about these girls.
think of mother.

We asked them to take a spin in the
plane, but they said they could not
ride in a plane with boys after six
o’clock. We toddled over to another
old building where we sat in a little
parlor. Mary played “Squeeze That
Lemon,” and I asked Ellen to do the
risky-reel, but she explained that it
would be a flagrant disregard of the
‘ideals of the college. So we sat and
talked about life. Ellen said she did
not like this new four-dimensioned art.
She thinks the old futuristic school is
much more graceful.

Before we knew it, our evening was
over. I hate to sound like a nunc, Bill,
but it just did me good to know there
were girls like that in the world.

Yours,

Jack.

A parting encouragement—pay no
attention to my pet abominations,
those people who pat you on the back
and say: “Enjoy your college days, my
dear, for they are the happiest days
of your life!”

They are happy days, and very pre-

failed in its very purpose if it did not
send you from its portals with a

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13, 1929

Gilbert McClurg sf WORM’S

Lectures Here

jith Me Over Pike’s
Peak” Is Subject.

Illustrating his talk by slides and by
actual moving pictures taken from the
air, Mr. Gilbert McClurg, noted lec-
turer, spoke to Agnes Scott girls and
visitors in the gym last Thursday
night. An earnest advocate of the in-
creasing “‘air-mindedness” of the pres-
ent age, Mr. McClurg is presenting
some of the aspects of aviation on his
southern lecture tour. He says, in
substance, “Americans are past the
age of steam. We are outgrowing the
age of electricity, and are coming into
the full realization of the benefits of
an age of the air.” His talk was in-
structive as well as intensely interest-
ing and amusing.

The first part of his speech was de-
voted to the present air-mindedness
arising in all parts of the world. Not
only the fact that Lindbergh fledw from
the new world to the old, that Italy
sent an airship above the North Pole,
that a great part of the last war was
fought from the air proves this air-
mindedness;but also the fact that great
transcontinental airlines carry passen-
gers daily to and fro in a fraction of
the time a train or ship would take,
and the fact that “a young man now
takes his girl up in a plane for an
afternoon ride, ‘and thinks nothing of
it‘ are a much greater force to prove
universal air-mindedness. “Man has
always been essentially air-minded.”
A mechanical dove thaf flew in the air,
and an air-glider, were’ in xistence
three centuries, before Christ. Traces
of winged sea-monsters and winged
dragons can be found on ancient carv-
ings. But it was not until less than a
century ago that the first tiny airship
flew across the English Channel.

*Mr. McClurg showed on the screen
some slides of the first gliders and
motored aeroplanes ever modeled. The
glider of the famous Wright brothers
was shown as it now stands in the
London Museum. As compared to
these first feeble efforts, th egreat air-
ships and dirigibles now made seem
enormous. Aviation has made great.
strides during the past few years and
“the next year should see its progress
doubled.” Colleges, and even some
high schools in Chicago, are adding the
study of aviation to their curriculum,
and others will soon follow suit. The
pleasure and convenience of air-riding
surpasses all other means of transpor-
tation, and as for the danger—““‘statis-
tics show that more persons were kick-
ed to death by mules in the past year!”

Beautifully.colored slides and motion
pictures taken from the air showed the
gorgeous coloring and scenery of the

Archaeologist
Lectures

On Thursday, March 7, Dr. Harry
Rimmer, eminent archaeologist, spoke
in chapel. He has been giving a series
of lectures at the North Avenue
Presbyterian Church. He interested
his audience greatly by presenting his
archaeological data in colloquial terms.
He spoke on the text 2 Peter 1:18-21,
which states the divine origin of the
Seriptures. In his talk he defended
its authenticity and integrity by
proofs taken from archaeological re-
search. He refuted some very serious
charges which were made at one time
against the books of Esther and
Daniel. When Dr. Rimmer had com-
pleted his talk, he had his audience so
interested in archaeology that they all
regretted that they could not qualify
for his digging expedition, planned for
next summer.

mond, which is a school for the pur-
pose of training young men and
women for Christian service.

During the course of his two ad-
dresses, Dr. Lingle spoke on the sub-
ject of “Personality.” His talks dealt
with personality as it expresses itself
in the outward appearance, the dis-
position and character. In his talks,

was twenty-five cents. The guests were
met at the door by the charming host-
ess of the night-club, Miss Josephine
Barry, in yellow satin and black lace.
The entire gym was decorated with
multicolored streamers hanging from
the roof to the floor. The tables, most
of which had been reserved previous to
the opening, were grouped around a
central space in which the program
was given.

The first number was a_ graceful
Spanish Tango by Margaret McCoy
and Mary Warren, Then followed
Shiriey McPhaul as Sophie Tucker, the
great negro singer. She met with such
great approval that she was called
back later in the evening for an en-
core. Next Barnum and_ Bailey’s
clowns, Carolyn Nash and Carrington
Owen, boisterously jumped about in
the best fashion. A clever chorus,
composed of Hortense Garver, as lead-
er, Betty Hudson, Dit Quarles, Carolyn
Payne, Lou Robertson, Belle Ward
Stowe, Hazel Wolfle, and Jean La-
mont, followed with many peppy steps.
Elise Gibson, as the dear little school
girl, then gave her Moron Skit. The
Abnormal Psych. class must enjoy
working on Elise. Ann Erlich, and
Hazel Wolfle, as Pierrot and Pierrette,
gave a dainty little dance number
which ended when Pierrot finally
caught Pierrette. The Harmonizers,
Helen Anderson, and Jean Lamont, got
together for some very close harmony
in a series of entertaining songs. Sara
Townsend also lent her voice to the
effect. Last, the country jakes, Ann
Erlich, and Lou Robertson, performed
a very clumsy clog, as only country
jakes know how.

Between each part of the program
there was dancing and much feasting.
The guests ordered ice-cold drinks and
sandwiches from the French wait-
resses, and purchased chocolates and
chokers from the venders clad in over-
alls. Betty Hudson and Dit Quarles
went constantly among the tables sell-
ing chances for their cake and candy
raffle. The drawing took place before
the eyes of the guests, as one of the
features of the evening. Mrs. John-
son, with number 100, won the cake
given by the Cloverleaf Bakery, and
Elizabeth Smith, Ruth Pringle’s guest,
won the large box of candy, made by
Mrs. Johnson, by holding the lucky 66
or 99, whichever it was. After another
dance, the guests were dismissed by
“Good-Night, Ladies” from the Har-
monizers.

Agnes Scott may need a new chapel, ; rise”

Lv Men —

but we think that it has a greater need |

for improved dormitories. The chapel
as it is now is large enough to take
care of the daily need of the college.
Only on special occasions is it filled.
It is used for only a few hours a day,
and the dormitories are used inces-
santly. We would like to see Agnes
Scott have a new chapel, but we con-
sider improved dormitories more
necessary, for Agnes Scott is too fine
a college to have its dormitories in
their present condition.

By a few improvements, the dormi-
tories could be made more attractive
and comfortable. To be specific about
what we mean by improvements, we
shall take Inman Hall as an example,
and mention a few ways in which it
can be made better. On entering In-
man, we see a lobby furnished with
table, a sofa, and innumerable chairs
lining the walls. It is evident that no
one cares how it looks and that it has
become the store room for all the old
extra chairs. What a pity this is, for
we should all enjoy an attractive

Spring again! and we render her especial thanks for bringing | lobby, which would add a cheering ap-

the time, and fostering our bravado to ask you a question that we
|

have had at heart for some time. Are you, the older classes of
Agnes Scott, ready and desirous to accept the Freshmen as fellow
Hottentots ?

It isn’t necessary to tell you that in the early fall the thought
of becoming Hottentots meant very little to us. You have all
experienced the same emotions attendant on entering college, and
therefore know the golden haze of longing that hovered over a
far distant home and the magnified attractions of a family, so
long taken for granted. Also, but perhaps less poignantly, you
remember the number of unflattering feelings with which you
thought of the great institution of “college,” feelings of scorn, of
childish hate, perhaps, and of fear. We ask that you recall these
memories in order that you may understand us as persons almost
identical to your former selves.

It was a long way from this early attitude to our present one.
For now we have left off our scorn to learn humility, changed our
hate to love, and realized the nonsense of fearing anything that
wished only for our education and happiness. To trace this com-
plete change in our minds and hearts, would be too detailed a task
to attempt. It was an individual change; while a few truculently
wished to accept no new thoughts on the subject, most of us were
glad to give up our unbecoming attitude. We found ourselves, al-
most unaware, thinking fond thoughts of Agnes Scott, listening
with real appreciation to her many fine traditions, and partaking,
with earnestness and pleasure, of all she had to offer. Then, that
for which we are most thankful, we found friends in you. You
know how much we care for you, whether we first looked up to you
as Seniors, loved you as members of our sister class, or admired
you for your good sportsmanship when you were hazing us. How-
ever varied were our personal paths from antipathy to indifference
and then to regard, we have all arrived at the same end, with one
desire, whose realization we now wish to seek in you.

We admit that we cannot measure up to you. We have scarce-
ly begun work, that you have left behind, we have striven in ac-
tivities that have become natural to you, and started friendships
which have yet to be strengthened, like yours, by the years. But
we hope that in all of these fields, you may have found us to pos-
sess something of the conscientiousness, the good sportsmanship,
the self forgetfulness, which are characteristic of you. That is the
most that we can desire.

Just as we have taken for granted that you have experienced,
at one time, the same emotions, that we admit to, last fall, so we
hope that there was a time when you felt that your greatest aim
was to become a real Hottentot, and in the eyes of the other classes,
one of their kind. If you did feel this, you will understand our
ambition and, in the next few years, help us to realize it. Then,
perhaps, someday, to a similar Freshman class, we may seem the
embodiment of all that they desire to attain.

For the present—we know our goal, to be good Hottentots, we
have found in you, our example and guide and now we ask, “Will
you accept us into your midst and teach us to be like you?”

pearance to the building!

The floors in Inman are known to
ruin everything with which they come
in contact. About a week after arriv-
ing at schoo] we noticed yellow spots
on our shoes. On inquiring of an up-
perclassman what was ruining our
shoes, we discovered that the yellow
spots came from the oil on the floors.
Then, too, the other day we overheard
a girl remarking that she had ruined
a new pair of stockings by dropping
them on the floor. We understood her
feelings exactly, for we have also
made runs in our good stockings in the
same way. The time has come for
something to be done to the floors,
Even though the walls are not destruc-
tive, they, too, should be fixed, since
they are dirty and cracked. Certainly
a little repairing done to them woul4
greatly help the rooms.

One of the worst faults of the build-
ing is its bathrooms. In the first
place, they are so poorly lighted that
only one compartment gets any light
at all. The rest are in shadows. The
water pressure is so low that the
water will not run on the third floor
when the tubs are being filled on the
second. If you have never tried to
dress in a hurry and found the water
not running, you will not realize how
much it can inconvenience you. The
bathrooms need modern fixtures and,
at best, a few basins. As we no longer
use the washstands in the rooms, we
need more basins.

Since Agnes Scott is noted for its
high scholastic standing, should not
our dormitories be in keeping with it?

There is, I think, some praise due to
the Gym Department of Agnes Scott.
Not much has been said about it, but
we have all been thinking of the fact
that this department contributes some
of the most enjoyable and interesting
phases of our campus life. The de-
partment is always handled efficiently
and rationally. Why is this so? The
credit for all this goes to the faculty
of the Gym Department. They possess
variety and pep and are the most
obliging and courteous people on the
campus. They can call practically
every girl in the school by name and
are not afraid or unwilling to speak
to her in passing. (Only a Freshman
can know how comforting this is). In
addition, the Gym instructors are ef-
ficient and conscientious in their class
instruction, accomplishing a great deal
toward making the Agnes Scott girl
healthy and athletic. Let’s give praise
where praise is due. So, three cheers
for Misses Wilburn, Haynes and Sin-
clair!

(O Happy Thought!) Democracy
is the very breath of an American—
think about that! It really isn’t such
an amazing statement, after all, and, of
course, it is true. Nothing will “get a

+

hin

We think that some method should

be adopted by which Freshmen may
be able to adjust themselves in the
first few days of college life. When
we arrived at Agnes Scott everything
was new and strange, and everybody
was hurrying this way and that. When
we stopped a girl to ask here where
Mr. Tart’s office was, she would say,
“Next to Ella’s,” and hurry past. Just
where “next to Ella’s” was, we did not
know. Finally when we had paid our
tuition and other fees, we went to see
| Miss Hopkins, who told us about our

rooms and roommates. We _ spent

out of one of us more quickly
than for some untactful person to hint
that we are being driven about blindly
by some set of strong wills—our own
individualities and abilities completely
inundated by the flood of this powerful
brute foree—will—someone else’s will.
If I should be led to the belief that I

was in such a predicament, I should
immediately take drastic steps—such
as “insurrecting,” “revolting,” or may-
be “griping’—and nobody could stop
me. But listen! First, I would be
mighty sure that I knew whereof I
was “fussing.” Second, I would make
certain that the trouble did not lie in
my own attitude or dormant sense of
justice. It is ridiculous to believe in
the “other fellow” to the extent of be-
lieving him a mind-reader. He is not.
Statistics show he’s credited with too
much clairvoyance. Nine times out of
ten, if we do not express ourselves,
nobody is going to do it for us. We
have to know what we want and then
go after it, or ours is a lost cause.
Every worthwhile organization of so-
ciety is composed, not of people who
falter at expressing their ideas, but
of those who are progressive and dare
to say what they think. The law of
compensation does not give anyone the
right to go around complaining about
the way things are handled, when he
has had it in his power to suggest an-
other, possibly a better, way. (You
know that even the least of us have a
happy thought, at times!)

It all amounts to this, girls: it
would be an uninteresting old world if
nobody knew or cared what the other
person thought—which all proves that
people do care, because the world is
undoubtedly an interesting place. So
come on out! Humor yourself. Don’t
let your ideas scare you! Out with
them, like a jack-in-the-box!

hours, it seemed, finding someone who
was willing to tell us where Inman or
Sturges or some other dormitory was
located. After we had unpacked our
bags, we wandered aimlessly around
trying to find the gym, the hocaey
field, and other famous places. Just by
chance we overheard some upperclass-
men, who were passing, say something
about making out schedules. What
kind of schedules? Where should we
make them out? Where should we
go? More confusion and uncertainty.
At length we found the room where
the schedules were being arranged.
Someone handed us blanks on which
the hours of the day were written and
ordered to make out our schedules. We
did not know what to do, but ultimate-
ly we found some kind upperclassmen
who were willing to assist us. Where
the dining rooms, class rooms and
chapel were we had not the slightest
idea. Everything was a hurry and
bustle. Those who would deign to help
us were vague and confusing in their
directions. It took us days to find
ourselves in this confusion. We made
numerous mistakes which could have
been avoided by a little organized ad-
vice and direction. Surely some method
may be adopted which will help the
Freshmen in adjusting themselves and
getting started.

THE AGONISTIC

~ -~OR, WHAT HAVE YOU:

Footloose Freshie

May We Introduce

Our Footloose Freshie woke up one} The President and the Spon-

morning with a new question bother-
ing her mind. Since she is a person
of action, she decided to find the an-
swer to it. She dashed downstairs
before seven o’clock and rushed upon
White House porch in time to greet
the waiter, as he came out of the front
door with the big bell in his hand.
Our Footloose Freshie could stand it
no longer. The question which had
been haunting her could no longer be
held back. “What do you think of
when you are ringing the bell?” she
asked.

The waiter was startled to say the
least. After the several moments that
it took him to regain his composure,
he ventured to reply.

“Most times I wonders why mo’ of
you girls don’t get them high heels,
some of you come prissin’ out in, stuck
in the cracks in the walk.”

“Ts it true that you and the Rebekah
waiters have a code?”

“Sure. Wait a minnit,
comes and I'll show you.”

With that he proceeded to demon-
strate to our Footloose Freshie the
rudiments of the complicated code,
which is their means of communica-
tion across the campus. Two long
claps and one short clap means, “It’s
a cool morning, but a bit chilly.” Three
longs mean, “Fix me up with Lucy for
a date tonight.” Four longs and one
short mean, “I won’t be through with
the dishes until ten, but I’ll see you
then.”

Our Footloose Freshie was amazed
at this unusual demonstration. She
went to breakfast, marveling at the
wonders that were going on under her
very nose, of which she was unaware.

heah he

Our Footloose Freshie felt the urge
to interview someone, Accordingly
she laid in wait for Mr. White, our
beloved nightwatchman, as he made
his usual rounds to lock up for the
night. Mr. White was thunderstruck
when told the press desired to inter-
view him. Like all great persons, he
was bashful about appearing in print.

When asked how long he had served
this noble institution, he proudly said,
“T will have been here seven years
next April the seventeenth.”

“Have many exciting events happen-
ed during that time?” asked our Foot-
loose Freshie.

“Lots of them,” came the prompt
reply, “but none that I can tell about.”

“Haven't there been an burglaries or
midnight robberies?”

“Yes, but I can’t tell about them.”

Our Footloose Freshie pleaded and
urged, but all in vain. Mr. White pro-
tested that he had thirty-eight more
doors to lock before ten-thirty. He
backed out of the door with a cheery
“Good night,” leaving our Footloose
Freshie very much chagrined at not
having obtained more news. Inter-
viewing Mr. White on campus affairs
may be compared to interviewing
Lindbergh about his fiancee

Somevie asked our Footloose
Freshie one day why she didn’t find a
reason for the atrocious knocking that
accompanies the heat that proceeds
from the radiators. Our Footloose
Freshie could not fail to iake a dare
and proceeded at once to the root of
the matter.
that the source of all the heat of
Agnes Scott is at the power house,
hidden behind the old Gym (ask any-
one who lives in Main). Tremulously
she entered the power house and gazed
in wonder at the huge thing-a-ma-jigs
that are called boilers in the best cir-
cles. The stoker approached, outraged
at this invasion of his domain. Nothing
daunted, our Footloose Freshie pop-
ped the question, “Will you please tell
me what makes the radiators rattle?”

pave right this way and I'll show
you,” was his obliging reply. Then he
stepped up to ene of the huge fur-
naces, threw open the door and allow-
ed our Footloose Freshie to gaze into
the fiery depths. From such a glaring

pit as this, Dante must have gotten

his inspiration for his “Inferno.”
“One side there, while 1 heave in

some coal,” were the stoker’s orders.

Our Footloose Freshie was dismayed |

She inquired and found ;

sors of the Freshmen.

When it comes to modesty, these
Freshmen can’t be beat. This is all
very well for the person, but hard on
the reporter. ‘Leave me out of this,”
Penny stated emphatically. I edged
an inch closer, and continued my ques-
tions. Now if this had been Sara Lane
instead of Penny, I would have been
thrown out head first without any de-
lay, but you see I’m talking about
Penny and she refused to talk. Any-
one who has seen her draw her mouth
in that severe little line knows that
any further efforts are useless. Then
she grins and changes the subject.
From what I gather Penny intends to
major math—and after college? Any-
one who has seen a certain picture on
her dresser, or has seen her blush
when a certain name was mentioned—
well, you aren’t nitwits!
at any rate, much of the success of
the Freshman Class is due to the
leadership and go-getting ability of
their president. Although she acts
crazy now and then, “the girl has
brains.” Hooray for Penny!

Miss Haynes speaks for herself—she
needs no introduction. We all love
her and (we hope) she loves us. She
is always as busy as a bee and is no
end of help to us freshies. We chal-
lengs any other class to find a bet-
ter sponsor!

Miss Cheatham, since she is a grad-
uate of Agnes Scott, knows its “ins”
and “outs” and thereby gives us a lot
of help. Having been plentifully en-
dowed with pep, she is a great booster
for our Freshman Class.

We think that Mr. Robinson is the
world’s politest man. When he um-
pires a baseball game, he apologizes
to the batter for calling strikes on
her.

We wonder if Mam Tower will faw
down and go bump! We refer you to

left, owning herself little enlightened |

THE AGONISTIC

Stadium Rocks
With Icicles

Sprig has cub! Of this we’re cer-
tain, for did not baseball season open
Friday afternoon, March 8, with icy
winds blowing right down the very
backs of the spectators? We had been
informed that action would take place
on the diamond at four o’clock. So at
four-thirty, we arrived just in time to
prevent the gentle Spring zephyrs
from blowing away the grandstand.
We climbed up to the topmost plank,
so as to get a good view of the game
(and the psychological effect of being
nearer the scene was also cheering).
After a while, a few players ventured
upon the field. We were encouraged
to see they were attired in bright col-

ors—yellow jackets and red bloomers. |

Bright colors remind one of Spring.
We didn’t need reminding, of course,
but—well, we always did like bright
colors.

Soon Dr. Hayes strode upon the field
in the garb of umpire, and we knew
that the Juniors and Sophomores were
about to open the season. The Sophs
were in bat, with Callie Nash pitching.
This first inning looked pretty much
like baseball, specially when Peggy
Lou Armstrong caught a fly. (We
were going to give an account of all
the flies, and by whom they were
caught, but someone advised us that
this would get tiresome, and far be it
from us to bore our public.) We
thought, however, you would be inter-
ested in knowing who caught the first
fly of the season. We are pretty sure
it was Peggy Lou. Of course we might

The thrilling season of basketball

has come to a close! The games have the events of Gis. m

been most excitingly close and the
class rooters unusually enthusiastic.
Let’s keep it up! There has been much

first, and the Sophs and Juniors tie for
second. The class teams are as fol-

‘Track Season Opens Varsity Volley Ball

The Track Meet to be held the
twenty-sixth of April is the peak of
the track season. Class practices for
eet are as fol-
lows:

Senior—Tuesday.

Junior—Monday.

Sophomore—Thursday.

Freshmen—Wednesday.

The events which will compose the
meet are:

Speed events:

75 yard dash,

50 yard dash.

Relay.

Hurdles for speed.

Form events:

Hurdles for form.

Throws:

Baseball.

Basketball.

Discuss.

Javelin.

Hop-step-jump.

A feature event will be the sack
race.

A new addition to the track season
is the opportunity for mass partici-
pation. Each class may have any
number of entries at practice. Classes
will be judged according to the number
succeeding in making a certain record
in the event. Five points toward the
meet will be given to that class hay-
ing the greatest number achieving the
record. All mass participation tests
will be completed the week before the
Track Meet.

There is an opportunity for every-
one to help her class win those points
although she may not be “the type”
to break school records. But if you
are that type be sure to come out to
break them.

This spring let’s all of us make
our fancies turn to thoughts of Track.

Team Is Announced

Volley ball season, we’ll admt, was
not quite as thrilling as basketball
since it was mostly a case of who
could serve the ball over the net.
Everyone developed rubber necks as
they scanned the heights of the gym
roof for signs of the ball. The last
game was better played than any
other, but that’s not saying much,
There is plenty of room for improye-
ment. But let’s give a big cheer for
the Varsity which is as follows:

Varsity—McCalip, Chandler, Town-
send, Dunbar, H. Brown, Pope, Lander,
S. Glenn, C. Wilson, M. Miller, M. N.

Big Combat at Gym

A crisis is at hand—I have boldly
demanded size thirty-two! Expectant-
ly I wait, with both hope and dismay
on my face—I sean old Mary’s doubt-
ful expression hopefully as she cocks
her head on one side and surveys me
from all angles. If only I could
“serinch” up for the time being as the
worms in “lab” do—I feel as huge as
an hippo under her unflinching gaze!
Gingerly she picks up one thirty-two
after another—at last (very firmly)
she shakes her head and hands me an-
other size. A few minutes later I ap-
pear with the soft folds of the cotton
suit hanging or rather drooping around
my knees—surely she will reconsider
at such a sight—but no! A contented

light creeps in her eyes and her black
—she conquered. Defeat—in the form
countenance beams. I came—she saw
of size thirty-eight bathing suit!

Anything Within Reason

Ithaca, N. Y., November 21 (IP).—
A “gentleman’s agreement” has been
entered into by Cornell University men
and the manager of the Strand Thea-
ter, whereby the students may have
all the fun they like at the second
Saturday night show, providing they
behave themselves the rest of the week
while attending the theater.

The pact was sealed following a dis-
turbance in the theater created recent-
ly by the students, and after which the
manager in strong words told the un-
dergraduates where to “head in.”

“Tl give them an arena for the
Strand ‘Weekly Whoopee,’” Dillon
added. “Anything within reason and
anything good-natured will be permit-
ted.”

—Sun Dial.

“An article in the New York Times
tells us of a course recently contem-
plated at the University of Cincinnati
for the training of janitors. In this age
of specialists though, that is not par-
ticularly startling. In time, per-
hape, we shall hear of men receiving
their ‘M.J.’ in janitor research. This |

who will be known as ‘asphalticians.’ ”
—University of Richmond.

Mevie Clubs Are Formed

College men and women have come
to the point where taking moving pic-
tures at big games and winter sports
festivals is the mode. Im the East,
where football originated, the students
are going in for moving picture pho-
tography with the same amount of in-
terest and enthusiasm that they show
| for archery, hockey, and soccer. Movie
clubs are next, for in this day and
age of simple movie cameras, which
now even take color pictures and which
are being shown in all attractive col-
ors, it is possible to get a permanent
record of your college days. And now
one can even secure an f.4.5 lens to
give telefoto effects and objects will
be larger and nearer when shown on
the screen.

Education Is Too Cheap

The United States Bureau of Edu-
cation after a survey of approximately
1,100 colleges and universities, de-
clares that the average minimum cost
of a college education is $581.00 a
year, or $2,324 for a four-year term,
with the maximum depending upon the
wealth of the students.

This $581 includes everything neces-
sary to college life—tuition, fees,
books, board and room, clothing and
entertainment. It, however, means that
the student must live strictly with a
budget. And how! I’m against such
surveys. How can we continue to fool
the old man with such reports as these
coming out?

you?”

It is the privilege of this column to
review the play, “Lighted Candles,”
by Margaret Bland. It is found in the
third series of “Carolina Folk-Plays,”
which has been published recently. The
tale which forms the basis of “Lighted
Candles” was heard by the author at
the fireside of a lonely old woman
who often invited her to “set a spell”
—to visit. Six plays are included in
this series: “The Scuffletown Out-
laws,” “The Last of lLowries,” ‘In
Dixon’s Kitchen,” “Job’s Kinfolks,” “A
Shotgun Splicin’,” “Lighted Candles”
and “Quare Mececune.” Critics declare

“Unknown Lands,” by Vincenty
Blasco Ibanez, proves to be an adven-
turous story of the dawn of America,
told in a new way. Ibanez, dying, left
as his legacy to Americans a novel on
which he had concentrated for two
years, and which he himself thought
better than “The Four Horsemen of
the Apocalypse.” It is the result of
an extended study of Columbus, in
which he develops romance and ad-
venture. The story revolves around
Lucces, the beautiful Spanish girl who
sailed with Columbus.

James Oliver Curwood has given
another short, but magnificent, story
of the Northland in “The Old Lady
of Peribonka.” There is nothing anti-
quated in the story, as the title might
suggest, but rather, is ultra-modern

Theodore Roosevelt’s “Diaries of
Bagdad and Youth” has been edited
recently. This material is taken from
a journal begun when Mr. Roosevelt
was ten years old, on his first trip to
Europe—in Italy, France and England
—and continued to a later period to
include his visits to New England. The
spelling has been retained as young
Theodore Roosevelt wrote it. The
diaries contain the characteristic en-
thusiasm and joy of life which reveal
the true Roosevelt and form the self-
told story of a great personality, from
nursery days to early manhood.

THE AGONISTIC

— Wile

Giddy, Dear—
They say that the love of woman is
fickle, and, Giddy, I’m beginning to

believe it’s true. Why I just know it
wasn’t a week ago that all of Agnes
Scott was fawning at the feet of the
life saver. But, believe me, that cave
man has been forgotten long since and
now we've all turned archaeologists.
Clyde Lovejoy says she’d love to fol-
low that high profession, and before
long you'll see us “en masse” digging
around the prehistoric ruins of the col-
lege,

Shirley thinks Agnes Scott girls are
chiefly of the studious variety and
don’t give a rap for the men—but,
Giddy, sometimes I just wonder—. Of
course I wouldn’t dare to question her,
although Miss Gooch has been heard
to complain that “most of us can
think of nothing but the welcoming
arms, outstretched to meet us as we
leap forth, carrying our sheepskins.”
(If Miss Gooch were as good a pro-
phetess as she is a dramatist, I might
stop worrying about the future!)

I’m not trying to be futuristic or
soulful—but some girls just do get all
the men. Take E. Willy, for example.
The Sophs didn’t tell the half about
that girl. She was flooded with let-
ters from unknown admirers—and,
Giddy, those letters just came from
the queerest people, including spirit-
ualists and criminals in the state peni-
tentiary! These thrilling love affairs
are terribly exciting, but some of us
fee] with Peggy Link when she sighed
and said, “I do think my Ed is worthy
of some smal]! mention in the Agonis-
tic.’

Giddy, were you ever cursed with a
sense of beauty? Of course it would
be perfectly splendid to be in Margaret
Ogden’s shoes and have the best look-
ing date, according to Cora, and some
of us have always wondered how Mary
Nell manages to study with that dis-
tractingly handsome picture on her
desk, but you know, Giddy, I’m inclined
to think that diamonds in the rough
are greatly to be desired. Julia says
that her preacher is as ugly as sin
but managed to break a hundred
hearts before she bagged him. Be-
sides these young Apollos, we have the
“humoristique” type. Take Penn’s
shining example—he sends her yellow
jackets and College Humors with the
love poems and jokes underlined! Oh,
for such an attentive lover, and I
know you’ve heard about Laura Robin-
son. She.had two gentlemen madly
writing to her and she must have felt
like a princess in a story book when
the ardent lovers literally fought over
her coveted hand! I’ve almost decided
to follow Julia Forrester’s example
and buy an apartment in New York
and be “seductive.”

I suppose you think from my ramb-
ling epistle that we do nothing but
moon over our various love affairs, but
have patience, Giddy, because at times
we really do have sane moments. Why
one night I met Sara Lane in the hall,
pondering over the blinking of the
lights at 10:45. You’d be surprised,
but after a period of deep thought she
came to the sane conclusion that they
blinked for the teachers’ dates to leave!
If that were the case I’m pretty nigh
certain that Exec would be besieged
by petitions from said teachers. You’ve
heard about Miss Christie and Miss
Florine, haven’t you? Rumor has it
that the tea house will witness another
wedding before long.

Giddy, do you have Freshman theme

HOTTENTOT ON VISIT

Myra Jervey, former member of the
class of ’30, visited Elizabeth Dawson
and other friends last week. Because
of illness, Myra was forced to drop
out of school temporarily. She was
Assistant Editor of the Aurora and
a prominent student; but her talents
are not confined to Agnes Scott alone,
for we noticed that she contributed to
the latest edition of the Yellow Jacket.

DR. LINGLE AT CHAPEL SERVICE
(Continued from Page One)

Dr. Lingle revealed the fact that he
knows a great deal about young
people, and especially college people.
Therefore in the course of an inter-
view with him, the question was asked,
inquiring whether he had been as-
sociated with many different college
groups. It seems that he is President
of the Trustees of Davidson College;
he was a trustee of Agnes Scott, dur-
ing his pastorate at the First Presby-
terian Church of Atlanta; and he has
also been associated with Winthrop
College at Rock Hill. So Dr. Lingle is
qualified to speak concerning young
people, with authority.

He is very optimistic about the
younger generation. He says that, of
course, there were some girls and boys
just as bad as some members of the
modern generation and some just as
good as some of the moderns, but, Dr.
Lingle believes, on the whole, the gen-
eral ideals of young people are finer
than they were a generation ago.

Dr. Lingle has one daughter who is
a graduate of Agnes Scott, Miss Nan
Lingle, and one daughter who is con-
sidering entrance next year. When he
was asked why he approved of Agnes
Scott for his daughters, he replied that
it was for two reasons: first, because
of its high academic standing and sec-
ond, because of the fine Christian at-
mosphere, which is characteristic of
the school. And “Besides,” he said,
“during my trusteeship here, I learned
to know Agnes Scott very well.”

The college community regrets to
learn of the death of Miss Dexter’s
mother, Monday, March 4, at her home
in Union Grove, Wisconsin. She passed
away after a week’s illness of pneu-
monia. Many of the students will re-
member Mrs. Dexter from the visit she
and her husband paid to Agnes Scott
about two years ago. The student
body extends its sincerest sympathies
|to Miss Dexter ard her father.

propriate the cast-off sweater of a
player. You see we sort of wanted to
keep the heat off of our legs. Well, to
get back to baseball, the first inning
showed the Sophs winning, 2-0. And
we might add here that Mildred surely
has the technique of a pitcher down
pat. She even chaws her gum well.
Seriously though, the Sophs have a
zreat pitcher in Mildred. She struck
out player after player. I wouldn’t
have much liked to face Mildred at bat
unless, since it was a warm spring
day, it might have felt good to be
fanned by her passing strikes. We
promised not to burden you with flies,
but we can’t resist recalling the beauti-
ful one Walterette Arwood pulled
down at right field. The Sophs came
out a bit ahead: 14-0. Nice going,
Sophomores. It’ll take a team to beat
you.

The Seniors and the Freshmen took
the field. A sinister-looking umpire
took his place behind the Freshman
pitcher. A hat completely concealed
his identity but a chance lift of the
head revealed Mr. Robinson. This
boded ill for the Freshmen. The Sen-
iors were in bat. Little Bradford
knocked a hefty one out to right field.
Later, as she approached the plate on
the run, she was hit by a home-coming
ball. The umpire called a run, and the
scorekeepers obediently posted it as
such. Since this caused some disturb-
ance on the sidelines, Dr. Hayes rose
to the occasion, by tearing upon the
field of action, rule-book in hand. Al-
though the score-keepers had the habit
of standing between us and the score-
board, we outwitted them by turning
into contortionists and worming out
the information that Little Bradford
have missed one while trying to ap-
had been safe. (We observed that
thereafter Dr. Hayes refereed the
game with one eye on first base, and
the other on said rule-book.) Anyway,
we mustn’t fail to mention that, after
a while, Louise Fowler hit a home-run.
We didn’t actually see this bit of
curiosity, for we were contemplating
the possibilities of constructing a bon-
fire under the grand-stand for heating
purposes. But the Senior cheering
section both informed us of the verac-
ity of this report, and demanded that
it be given notice.

About this time the Senior cheering
section had dwindled to one. However
vibrations close to our ears caused us
to rouse from our semi-concealed con-
dition, and realize that a lusty shout
had gone up from the Senior cheering
section, as Little Bradford made an-
other famous hit. Despite her dearth
of stature, she can swat the ball better
than anyone we saw that day.

By this time the sun was sinking,
as tradition has it, in the west; and
the frigidaires nipped the ears of
player and spectator alike. So the
Freshmen, considerate always of their
fellow-men, realized that the heat of
day was over and that the spectators
were, to put it plainly, cold. Thus,
they made their last three outs in short
notice, and for the benefit of mankind,
let the Seniors have the game, 13-8.

Echoes From
Graduates

It is hard to think that the Alumnae
were ever worms, yet they are the
very ones who dug most and wiggled
most, and who soon ceased to be
worms. But they retain their active
habits and keep moving.

Ermine Malone, ’28, of Quincy, Fla.;
Mary Weems, May Queen of ’27, who
is teaching in Cartersville, Ga., and
Reba (Bayless) Bayer, ’27 of Athens,
Ga., have come back visiting.

Miss Betty Jean Gash of New York
bas already reserved a room in the
Aljumnae House for Commencement of
this year. This is a case of the early
bird's getting the room, not the worm.
She writes she is quite thrilled at the
prospect of seeing the graduation of
her niece, Betty Gash.

But everyone is not moving toward
the Alumnae House. Margaret Gerig.
28, is leaving shortly for a long trip
abroad. On the other hand, Mary
Shepherd, ’28, believes in seeing Amer-
ica first. She has been traveling for
four months in the West. After a
short visit home, she is going back to
Coicrado for an indefinite stay.

Still other
changing their homes. Dorothea
(Snodgrass) Townsend, ex ‘10, the
author of the Alma Mater, and her
husband, an army man, are stationed
nt San Juan, Porto Rico, for three
years. Mary Elizabeth Stegall, ’28,
who was married Christmas day to
Mr. Hershel Stipp, is living in Bir-

mingham, Ala., now.

And while we are on the subject— |

Helen Daher, ex °29, will be married
to Fenton Wilbur Williams on April
30.

Nan Lingle, ’26, is working for her
Master's degree at the University of
Chicago, She is very busy learning to
iee skate, but every now and then she
sees Gcorgia Watson, ’28, and Virginia
Stokes, ex ’29, and she writes that
she has seen Annette (Carter) Colwell
wheeling a baby carriage.

And so the Hottentots continue to
wiggle onward after the fashion of
their Freshman days.

FRENCH CLUB PRESENTS PLAY

Monsieur Peter Porohovshikox, of
Emory University, and dedicated to the

has asked for a picture of the young
artists in costume to send to the Fed-
eration for publication in their Bulletin
Officiel to be issued in April. The pic-
ture will be entered from Le Cercle

should be very proud of its girls as
they gained laurels not only for them-
selves, but for the college as well. The

Collegiana of ’31 Has|“Un Caprice”

A Successful Voyage

Is Presented

Excellent Plot Marks Soph| French Play Fills Club Pro-

Stunt.

The Sophomore class put their other
brilliant suecesses in the background
Saturday night with “Collegiana.” The
stunt was the cleverest seen at Agnes
Scott for several years. Every de-
tail was carefully worked out, from
the programs to the final scene, and
the plot was strong enough to carry
the burden of the play.

Mildred McCalip as Joe College

might have stepped out of College | little domestic scene.

Humor. Her pleasure on the voyage
of the Collegiana was somewhat spoil-
ed by the presence of little sister Kitty
College, just finding out what she had
and anxious to use it on George Tech,
Ed Emory, and Sim N. Airy. Joe was
most knockout men on board. Joe was
busy himself making time with Betty
Brenau, and just to get Kitty out of
the way advised her to be intellectual
with George Tech, athletic with Ed
Emory, and very hot with Slim. The
result of course was pathetic.

To pay Joe back, Kitty told him
what Betty Brenau would be wearing
at the masquerade, then wore the cos-
tume herself, and made Joe fall for
her to such an extent that he gave
her his fraternity pin. Imagine Joe’s
embarrassment! Thus the play ended.

Ellene Mims as Agnes Scott (as she
sees herself) was a perfect campus
model—of 1914—and the inimitable
Jennie Shug and Chopin were as good
as ever.

The choruses were unusually well
managed, and the costumes very ef-
fective.

Shirley McPhaul, assisted by several

members of the class, directed the
stunt.

The cast included:

Kitty Kollege (the kid sister)—

Dittie Winter.
Joe Kollege—Mildred McCalip.

Betty Brenau (Joe’s weakness)—Dit
Quarles.

MISS MACDOUGALL
COMPLETES PAPERS

Results Appear in Journal.

It is of interest to the college com-
munity that Miss MacDougall has just
completed two papers covering results
of investigations, which have been un-
der way for the past two years.

One paper dealing with mutations
and variations of chiladay uncinatus
produced by the use of ultraviolet light
will be published in the Journal of
Experimental Zoology; the other
paper, a detailed account of the con-
‘jugation of one of these mutants, a
Triploid form, will be published in
England.

The French Club was quite surpris-
ed by the dramatic ability evidenced
by certain of its numbers in “Un Ca-
price,” de Musset’s one-act comedy of
manners, presented at the meeting
Monday, March the fourth. The scene
was a charming little living room with
a desk sofa, piano, and the coziest
open fire imaginable. Lamplight and
firelight cast a mellow glow over this
The setting ce1-
tainly did credit to the artistic ability
of Miss Alexander, dramatic coach and
stage manager.

The action concerned itself with the
love affairs of Monsieur de Chavigny,
charmingly interpreted by Miss Per-
nette Adams, and his gentle little bride
of a year, Mathilde, played by Miss
Cara Hinman. It seemed that Mon-
sieur thought nothing of going to balls
while Mathilde remained with her
thoughts and her sewing, and of re-
ceiving gifts from another lady while
Mathilde worked in secret to prepare
a dainty purse for him. Finally, a
young friend of Mathilde’s, Madame
de Lery, our own French girl, Mar-
guerite Gerard, undertook to bring the
flighty husband to a realization of
what a treasure he was neglecting at
home. This she did in a most refresh-
ing scene in which she first made him
make love to her in order to show him
his own nature, and then pointed out
the fact that he was being disloyal to
his wife. Mathilde arrived on the
scene and Madame de Lery left them
together to begin their married life
anew.

The play was made doubly interest-
ing by attractive costumes of long
ago—dresses that swept the ground
and short, swinging capes. Pernette
Adams was particularly impressive as
a man with the sideburns reminiscent
of the gentlemen of days gone by.

I. R. C. Entertains
With Luncheon

Monsieur Lanoux Honor
Guest.

On March 11 at the Hotel Candler
in Decatur the International Relations
Clubs of Agnes Scott and Emory
sponsored a luncheon in honor of
Monsieur Pierre Lanoux. Monsieur
Lanoux is the head of the Directory
for Public Information in Paris and
of the League of Nations Associa-
tion. He is making a tour of the
United States and was persuaded to
stop over on his way between Charles-
ton and New Orleans. He was a very
clever and interesting speaker and
succeeded in presenting the League in
a more favorable light than has been
done heretofore. Monday night he was
a guest in Rebekah Scott dining room.
Quite a number of the faculty attend-
ed the luncheon at Hotel Candler, in-
cluding: Miss Bland, Miss Hale and
Dr. Davidson.

Notice

Dr. Davidson, head of the history
department, calls attention to the re-
lated hours of history, which are as
follows: Economics, Sociology, Psy-
chology, Philosophy, Greek Thought,
Latin 316 and English literature. At-
tention is called to this announcement
because of failure to publish the re-
vision of the history related hours
along with the other revisions.

I. R. Conference [s
Held in Athens

A. S. Delegates Attend

The sixth annual meeting of the
Southern Students Conference on In-
ternational Relations was held in
Athens at the University of Georgia,
March 8th and 9th. Delegates from
twenty-five Southern colleges and uni-
versities were present.

The conference opened with a busi-
nss meeting at which reports from the
clubs represented were given. John
Candler II, of Atlanta, presided and
Miss Walworth McMillan, of Brenau
College, acted as secretary.

The next feature of the conference
was a luncheon tendered by the Uni-
versity to the dleegates. At this an
address of welcome was given by
Chancellor Snelling.

The afternoon sessions consisted of
round tables discussions, “The United
States and Caribbean Countries,” led
by W. W. Pierson, Jr., of the Uni-
versity of North Carolina, and “Re-
cent Relations With Columbia,” led by
J. F. Rippy, of Duke University, and
another business meeting.

The University of Georgia Interna-
tional Relations Club were hosts at a
banquet that night. Following this an
address on “The Freedom of the Seas”
was given by Dr. Pitman B. Potter of
the University of Wisconsin. Friday’s
program ended with an International
Costume Ball.

The speakers for Saturday’s meet-
ings were Dr. W. H. Bocock of the
University of Georgia who led a round
table discussion on “The League of
Nations”; Dr. Cullen B. Gosnell of
Emory whose subject was “The Codifi-
cation of Maritime Law”; Dr. J. F.
Rippy who gave an address on “The
Reform Movement in Mexico and Its
Achievements” and Professor E. H.
Hendreson of Harvard who gave a
resume of the history of the Interna-
tional Relations Clubs.

The conference closed with a final
business session at which time after a

Rotarians Entertain
With Luncheon

Daughters of Rotarians Are
Guests.

All of Agnes Scott’s new spring
dresses and Easter bonnets made their
first appearance when the Rotary
daughters were entertained at the
Capital City Club last week. The Ro-
tarians sent two big busses for their
guests so they left school in great
style.

The luncheon was at 12:30 in the
large dining room of the club. The
round table with places for the forty
guests stood in the middle of the room.
The center of it was banked with ferns
surrounding a small fountain. At
each place was a beautiful corsage
from the Gresham florists. After a
delicious lunch the president of the
Rotary Club turned the program over
to Marion Greene.

First, each one of the girls intro-
duced herself and told where she was
from. It was quite the hit of the oc-
casion when two of the visitors arose
and said, “We are Mary and Martha
Sprinkle, from Marion, Va.” After
this was a “round table” discussion as
to what the program would be, in
which there were some clever slings at
the hosts. A group of Agnes Scott
and Rotarian songs were sung, after
which Jeanette Shaw gave a comic

"| yeading. Six members of the Glee Club

also sang a group of songs. The last
event on the pregram was a *#yjeech

meant to her to be a Rotarian’s daugh-
ter, and told how the ideals of Rotary
had helped her. She stressed the
motto of Rotary—Service. A response
to this was made by the governor of
the Federal Reserve Bank. Mr. Black
told how the Rotarians had enjoyed
their visitors. He said they did not
know how to express their apprecia-
tion but ended by saying, ““We love
you, we love you, we love you.”

Library School
Worker Speaks

Brought by Vocational Guid-
ance Committee.

One of the most interesting phases
of the Y. W. C. A. work is the Voca-
tional Guidance Committee. From time
to time throughout the year it brings

to the college community speakers on
various types of professions. On Tues-
day, the speaker was Mrs. Winifred
Davis of the Atlanta Library School,
She spoke most interestingly on the
great opportunity in the field of li-
brary work for college graduates. In
a letter to the Senior Class, she said:

“Because the professional character
of library work is being recognized
not alone by librarians but also by
thos agencies seeking to employ librar-
ians, we consider that the course of
study, in order to become more effect-
ive, must be built upon a good edu-
cational foundation. For this reason
we have no hesitancy in planning the
training for college graduates, and in
suggesting librarianship to them as a
profession which is both stimulating
and broadening.

“Since there is a splendid future in
the South for library work it cannot
help making a strong appeal to grad-
uates of our Southern colleges. There
is a demand for librarians all over the
country, however, and there is no
difficulty in securing a position in
other sections should one so desire.
The school is an accredited graduate
library schools, meets the require-
ments in its curriculum to train for
library work irrespective of locality.

“With so many factors now active in
the South along economic and educa-
tional lines, great impetus is being

given to library work. To be ready to
meet the demand for librarians we
need the college graduate with her
trained mind. It is a field not yet
crowded; the demand is still greater
than the supply; and it holds high
privileges for those who enter it.”

The beginning salary is $1500 or
more and the maximum in the South
ranges from $3,000 to $3,600 with a
few larger in important executive po-
sitions. This line of work has many
assets; in addition to a general educa-
tion and a real knowledge of people it
gives an opportunity for reading, so-
cial experiences and travel.

There are several Agnes Scott grad-
uates at the library school in Atlanta
and they are planning within the near
future to come out here in the hope
of interesting others in going there
after college. It is hoped that all who
are interested in library work as a
profession will avail themselves of the
opportunity to learn more of the de-
tails of this most intresting work.

the outside activities in which we engage are the only things that
This idea becomes so impressed upon
us that we sometimes wonder why we have classes at all. Why

more beneficial? It cannot be that we study because lessons are

good mental discipline since that theory is out of date. Yet sure-

ly scholarship must have some counter argument to offer; there

must be some virtue in lessons themselves.

In defining scholar we do not mean the bone who indiscrim-
inately learns every detail and returns it verbatim to the teacher.
Nor do we mean anyone who works for the grade she may attain.
Rather we mean the student who seeks an understanding. Then
suppose he does forget the facts which he finds so useful at exam-
amination time. He still has the intrinsic worth of the course.
Until we separate principles and understanding from the class
room and the course number, until we really incorporate them in
our thinking, the lesson is a mere routine. After all the purpose of
the college is to change our viewpoints and to broaden our con-
cepts; and certainly the academic side is an important factor in
accomplishing these ends.

Caesar was undoubtedly right when he Said that men general-
ly believe what they wish to believe. The student is prone to dis-
regard the value of lessons because she wants to believe they
are of a less permanent value than extra curricular activities.

We do not underestimate the value of friendship or of charac-
ter trainin; but each of us has her own capacity for friendship
and college strengthens the character of the strong and not the
weak. Our bodies require physical stimulation, and just as surely
our minds, to be healthy require mental stimulation.

No intelligent person can take a course in a science with-
out an inereased respect for the world at large or a keener observa-
tion of life in general. The cultural value of courses in English,
History, Languages, Art, and Music does not have to be enlarged.

College is not the end of a liberal education. It is the begin-
ning. Our lessons open for us avenues of enjoyment for the
future.

Concerning the budget and the long black list—-nothing more
can be said. If you do not want copies of the publications, and
do not take part in any activity all that is left is an appeal to your
loyalty. Are you willing that the organizations which represent
your college should perish because of insufficient funds?

—M.

We Think

We of the Black List protest against
our being exiled, and truly exiled too,
from everything on the campus that is
ours to enjoy. When we first read the
Agnes Scott Catalogue, we found a
statement which is here abbreviated:
“An opportunity is given to all stu-
dents to contribute . . . toward the
general support of the College Com-
munity Enterprises. This contribution
is of course entirely voluntary.” We
ask you, is coercing girls to pay the
budget making the payment or non-
payment voluntary?

We are willing to give up the stu-
dent publications, we reluctantly give
up the annual, we, in fairness to those
who are so particular, give up the right
to vote in the student elections. But
we do not see the justice in giving up
offices, of not being allowed to par-

ticipate in class games, May Day, or’

scarcely anything else. Why, we can-
not even dive into the swimming pool
or run across the tennis court. Do we
cost Student Government or the Cam-
pus anything in the things above men-
tioned? Yes, we do. We cost them at
least two-thirds of our school spirit.
We are disheartened and discouraged
because there is no way left for us
who are thus exiled to show our love
and gratitude to Agnes Scott.

You ask us—why don’t you pay?
The majority of us on the Black List
are unable to pay. It is not a lack
of school spirit—but a lack of the al-
mighty dollar. We realize that be-
cause hard times have hit some of us,
we have to grit our teeth and go on
and be pleasant when someone says:
“Don’t do that, you have not paid your
budget.” We know we are not able,
but we have pride enough not to let
that down us.

The church has voluntary money
pledges. What good in a Christian
way would it do if after a person had
joined under this voluntary system and
in one or two years was unable to pay
the necessary amount, or none at all,
was allowed to do nothing except sit
on one of the back pews? The per-
son might be helpful in many ways,
but no, he couldn’t suggest or be in
a thing for he hadn’t paid his volun-
tary pledge. Would this be the Chris-
tian-spirit?

Are the girls at Agnes Scott, who
are trying to force the many of us
who can’t pay, making Agnes Scott
democratic, broad-minded, and fair to
all?

A Hottentot.

To use that phase which has recent-
ly become frayed at the corners from
over-use “The time has come,” and in
this particular instance the time has
been here a long while—the time for
us to stop abusing the books in the
library. No, this is not going to be
against those inconsiderate people who
take much-needed books without sign-
ing for them, but for those people
who underscore the library books.

Of course it’s very nice to draw a
line under important points and so
much easier than taking down an out-
line, but there may be some people
who do not agree with you as to
what is important. At the same time
it’s rather natural to‘ take for granted
the underscored lines are the import-
ant ones. If you must impress things
on your mind by underscoring, try tak-
ing things down in a notebook—it
works just as well. It wears books
out to underscore them constantly and
ruins the looks of them. Be more con-
siderate of your fellow-students and
take your outlines in a notebook.

E.

When there is a visitor from the
faculty in one of the dining rooms
there is usually a song sung to
show welcome. We think that these
songs should really tell the visitors that
we are glad to have him with us. In-
stead, the feeble sounds that come,
usually from about one-third of the
girls in the dining room, are more
similar to a dirge than a song of
welcome. The applause that comes
after the song sounds as if two or
three people started to clap and were
silenced suddenly. We think that when
we sing we should sing! If singing
in the dining room is something we do
merely because it is a custom, we think
it would be better to omit it. If, on
the other hand, we sing because we
like to sing, we think we should sing
with a vim and heartily!

Scott. Possibly the most “collegiate” —==— =

factor of college life is the organiza-

tion of the boys or girls into certain Popularity

small set groups—‘“you stay in your
bunch, now, and I’ll stay in mine” at-
mosphere. This attitude divides the
,college into clans, and it is only
natural that some one of these clans
is always at variance with another
one. The result, of course, is dissatis-
faction on the part of some students,
mistrust on the part of others, and the
general unrest of all.

“Well,” you say, “and how does this
laffect Agnes Scott?” That’s just the
point, it doesn’t. At Agnes Scott there
are none of these little social cliques.
The girls are all friends and greet
each other as such. Perhaps an out-
sider might suggest “Why not let some
one of us say that, it sounds conceited
for you to compliment yourself.” But
they can’t see the true state of affairs
—they don’t know how it is inside the

ourselves. It is a condition for which

“The Ten Commandments of Popu-

co-eds of the University of Cincinnati,
led by the president of the Young
Women’s Christian Association, who is
also sports editor of the college paper.
They are:

I. Always be a lady. Use good
taste in selecting your clothes and do
not let actions belie that taste.

II. Always be a good sport. Do
what the majority wants, but not to
the detriment of your own convictions
and ideals.

Ill. Handing a line is helpful. Even
if you are not the type, this “you-
great-big-wonderful-boy” stuff does
get over, ased in moderation, of course.

IV. Play tennis, golf, bridge, swim,
and dance. If not all, then do these
two certainly—play bridge and dance.

V. Read the papers. Know your
current events, politics, and athletics.
It is well to be able to converse on
serious subjects as well as light ones.

VI. Do not “neck.” If a girl is
charming and peppy enough to inter-
est a boy, she need not worry about
being the gold-digger type.

VII. Do not kiss promiscuously.
There is no harm in kissing a boy of
whom you are particularly fond,

VIII. Dress attractively but not
necessarily expensively.

IX. A boy notices the general ef-
fect you produce, so be as pretty as
you can, but do not make up heavily,

Personality as well as build and

The Editor of the Agonistic:

In a recent number of your paper a
correspondent made the criticism that
no contemporary novels are bought by
the library.

The reason for this policy on the
part of the English department is the
following:

In a college the size of Agnes Scott
the library should have at least 100,-
000 volumes, whereas we have less
than 18,000. Consequently the work
in our courses is crippled, and sacri-
fices must be made in some fields of
literature.

However, more contemporary novels
would be bought, were it not for the
additional fact that there is readily
accessible to every student of Agnes
Scott an excellent collection of current
fiction in the Carnegie Library of At-
lanta.

THE AGONISTIC

“Just a little bit over a week—til
vacation then we'll go the to the sta-
tion, etc.!” what a wonderful song and
it beats all the “How Do You Do’s”
and “There Sits So-and-So’s” in the
world, because it means we’ll soon be
going home and oh, that will be joy-
ful! Except this year it seems to
be quite the thing to stay down here
at Agnes and indulge in literary pur-
suits and movies in Atlanta. More peo-
ple are doing it, but then still the
majority rules when it comes to being
homeward bound.

Since right now the holidays do
seem to be the main theme in every-
body’s letters, write-ups, and papers,
it’s kind of hard to think about any-
thing else, but we just have to, men-
tion “Collegianna” and how perfectly
angel it was. Somehow our Soph
friends seemed to have been out of
luck, when they landed down here in
Georgia instead of upon Broadway.
But the college community’s mighty
glad they got mixed up and came to
school instead of being real sure nuf
actresses, and more power to them
when it comes to stunts.

And—society ?—well, you can just
read for yourself.

Giddy, love,

It’s been so long since I’ve written
you, I really should know lots of gos-
sip, but all my friends are afraid to
tell me anything, and I never go any-

where. In fact, I’m beginning to feel
as Catherine Allen said she did after
two weeks campus—*“ a campus model”
—a very flat, run-down-at-the-heel
feeling, darling, if you but knew.
Maybe it’s just the weather—though
it’s certainly reason enough to dampen
any spring ardors. And Jo Barry had
just remarked she was going to have
to go back to winter flannels to keep
the spring weather from affecting her
heart. I don’t think she need worry.

And poor Harriet Smith! She'll
never get her job now, for we won’t
need any fire department since the
heavens have opened. And, Giddy. She
had promised, as her platform, to give
one drill a month during classes. Car-
rington feels so badly about running
against her—but as I said we might as
well abolish the department, with this
new permanent water-works system
we have.

Helen Anderson says it has its ad-
vantages. She gets such a good op-
portunity for studying local Zoo, since
the earth worms think the campus is
a creek and it’s safe to come up and
look around, not knowing that Helen
is running around with a hand lens
@nd a dissecting set and a bottle of
| Coty (or rather as much as is left
after her sessions with formaldehyde
specimens in lab).

But this is a grand time to just sit |
around and talk. I’ve heard more good

bull sessions these last few days than |

in a cozy upstairs parlor in the Alum-
nae House, says Miss Florine.
Giddy, you must get Sara Townsend to
tell you about sitting in on Miss Flor-
ine’s date the other night. Miss Flo
came out with flying colors, and de-
clares Sara’s face got as red as her
hair. Do get her to tell you about it.

_Helen and Firpo say the rain doesn’t
bother them—the street car never
skids, and runs pretty regularly—just
like their dates. And Alice says (she
should be authentic, you know) that
after next year the dates will be even

want to start a rumor, Giddy.

Merritt likes the rain too—she’s been
studying so hard—in House Beautiful.

told her he guarded them like pieces
of antique china.

Anyway, rain’s better and cheaper
than Ovaltine to make you sleep, so
good night. I’ll have to charter a sail
boat to get this to you, darling.

Gloomily yours,
AGGIE.

Geneva School of
International Studies

As announced in the C. I. F. “Invi-
tation to Europe” for 1929, Professor
Zimmern’s Geneva School of Interna-
tional Studies will hold its sixth ses-
sion during the coming July and Au-
gust in Geneva, Swtzerland.

The N.S. F. A. feels that the School
can be of real value to those students
who are interested in international re-
lations

Started a few years after the war,
at the request of some European stu-
dents, the school has grown until now
it is attended by students from all over
the world. It is Professor Zimmern’s
belief that a study of national psychol-
ogies and of the factors underlying na-
tional policies is of vital importance in
understanding the present-day problem
of the co-operation of nations. Con-

‘tact which the school affords with

students of other countries throws in-
to relief the difference and _ simi-
larities of national viewpoints.

The work at the school is carried on
by means of lectures and open discus-

And|sions in the mernings and occasional

lectures in the evening. The after-
roons are left free and Geneva is a
delightful spot with many facilities for
recyeation such as tennis and swim-
ming.

There are two courses offered: ist,
the advanced course, which covers the
entire eight weeks of the school ses-
sion; 2nd, the preparatory course
which consists of four periods of two
weeks beginning on July 8th, July
22nd, August 5th and August 15th, re-
spectively. These have been planned
so as to give a survey of some aspect
of international affairs and may be
taken separately.

The school hopes that students

AT MLESICS

The baseball games played last Fri-
day afternoon were quit ean improve-
ment over those of last week. The
Juniors and Sophomores played un-
usually good games, defeating the
Freshmen and Seniors, 14-2 and 7-1.
The Juniors completely defeated the
Freshmen, outplaying them in every
part of the game. The Sophomores
decisively defeated the Seniors also,
but the Seniors held them to a small
score, even tho’ McCalip, the Soph-
omore pitcher would strike one man
out after another,

The line-ups were as follows:

DAY IS CHANGED

The date of Agnes Scott’s annual

March 23 to April 6. This change was
decided upon for the reason that some
of the schools could not come on the

Your Napkin Ring?

The scrawls on our napkin rings
really mean something! They are
symbols of honest-to-goodness Hotten-
tots! Polly told me all about them
this morning.

M. W. K. stands for Mary Wallace
Kirk, of Tuscumbia, Ala.; who grad-
uated in 1911. She was taken into
Hoase in 1924—the only alumna who
has received that honor. Polly said
they did it because she would have
made a Hoasce all by herself if it had
been here in 1911. Once Mary was
president of the Alumnae Association
—really organized it, they say—but
now her chief interest is European
v.avel (last time she wv. home at-
tended by two English maids).

Nancy Chenault Evans, ’24, is Dick’s
best friend. At present she is teach-
ing French in Richmond but com-
mencement she is coming to the re-
union. We won’t tell her about the
napkin ring.

Elizabeth Theresa Newton taught
for a while and then became society
editor of her home town paper, Madi-
son, Ga. Ask Floyd Foster about
Theresa—she’s from the same place.

Mary Burnett and Amy Twitty are
special friends of Miss Bland’s. Mary
(Mrs. Thorington, now) used to be|
president of the Y. W. C. A. and secre-
ly popular—everybody said she was
the cutest girl in college.

“Grandmother B. to P. A. B.” re-
solved itself into “Grandmother Broad-
hurst to Pauline Allen Broadhurst, ex
23. Pauline is now Mrs. Albert Edw.
Beall and lives in Avondale. It’s such
a pity she has to do without the pretty
napkin ring, her grandmother’s part-
ing gift perhaps.

Maria Merritt (Mrs. Quillian) is
married to the head of the Coca-Cola
Company in Europe. They go all over
Europe setting up soda fountains.
Maria has two children—a little boy
and a little girl. Wouldn’t it be “de-
licious and refreshing” if her little girl

W. AND M. TRY EXPERIMENT

“Flat Hat” Makes Bold Experiment

The “Flat Hat,” the weekly paper of
the college of William and Mary, last
week made an experiment which was
almost unique in collegiate journalistic
circles. And for that matter it was
unique in journalistic circles in the
world outside the college.

Immediately after the announcement
that a state investigation would be
made into drinking conditions at col-
leges in this state, the Flat Hat con-
ceived the idea of sending a reporter,
or more properly, a spy, to the Uni-
versity of Virginia for the purpose of
finding out just how much Dr. Hep-
burn was justificd in making the
charges that he did. The reporter was
sent, and, returning to William and
Mary several days later, made his re-
port.

According to him, the University is
as free from the curse of drinking
among its students as one could ex-
pect a school to be. The students
there apply themselves to their work,
and bridge and poker games are cut
to a minimum. The reporter stated
that he was received as a visitor and
that while being shown all existing

Dr. and Mrs.DeJonge
Will Conduct Tour

There are, no doubt, many girls on
the campus who are planning to take
a trip to Kurope this summer, but they
may be finding it difficult to decide
just which of the many itineraries that
have been offered them is the best.
Dr. and Mrs. de Jonge are going to
organize and conduct a private party
to Europe this summer, and to take
this trip with them would surely be a
rare opportunity.

Dr. de Jonge is thoroughly familiar
with all the places and things that are
of interest and importance in Europe,
and knows the ropes, so to speak, of
European travel. Moreover, as all
know who have heard his lectures, he
possesses unusual knowledge of Euro-
pean art, and he will make all the
visits to art galleries and cathedrals
extremely interesting and instructive.
It would be impossible to see every-
thing in the famous European art gal-
leries in one summer, and as Dr. de
Jonge knows so well just what things
are most worth while, no time will be
wasted in an attempt to see the unim-
portant. His aim is to give a clear
picture of the development of art and
culture in Europe, and to accomplish
this he has planned many things
which make his tour a wonderful op-
portunity for the college student.

On board ship, going over, Dr. de
Jonge is to give lectures to the party;
he will discuss the historical back-
ground, and the full significance of all
that they will see. These talks will be
very interesting and very valuable.
Dr. de Jonge has arranged the itiner-
ary to take in many places which the
ordinary European tour does not in-
clude. For instance, he has arranged
to go to Avignon, Nimes, and Arles,
and he is making it possible for the

#| party to spend more time in Germany

than is usually allowed; they will visit
Munich, the capital of Bavaria, Dres-
den, which is famous for its beauty;
Nuremberg, Berlin, and finally they
will take the beautiful trip up the
Rhine to Cologne, where is the mag-
nificent and famous cathedral.

Dr. de Jonge has planned another

He has arranged

der to give the party a better view
of the country, and a relief from hot,
dusty train rides. They will go by
motor from Paris to Malmaison, Ver-
sailles, Fontainebleau, to the battle-
fields, including Rheims, Chateau
Thierry, and Belleau Wood. And again
the party will take an automobile trip
along the beautiful Riviera all the way
from Nice to Monte Carlo—and in
England, they will have a wonderful
drive up through the Shakespeare
country.

The whole trip has been planned so
that it offers advantages that are not

it.

Polly, especially on Mr. J. C. G. and W.
E. W., Jr. She tried to explain the
two Chinese ones but I missed the
point, since I don’t understand Chinese
very well.

In recent years the custom of leay-
ing a napkin ring to the college has
almost died out. Today Polly is the
only person of the campus who uses
her napkin ring.

A negro preacher was describing to
his congregation the miseries and the
penitence of the prodigal son.

180 on Honor Roll for Fall Semester
Work at N. C. CG. W.

Of the 1,850 students at North Caro-
lina College for Women, there are 180
on the roll for honor grades made dur-
ing the first semester recently con-
cluded.

Honor grades at the institution
mean an average above 90, or an
average grade of 2. One in every 10
young women at the college made
this high mark.

attractive to college students!). How-

well all that it is important to see in

EUROPE

A small group of congenial com-
panions will tour Europe this
summer under the guidance and
chaperonage of Mrs. Mabelle S.
Wall. The itinerary has been
planned with the direct object of
including those cities and places
which are of greatest interest to
those who study music and art.
The countries visited are Ger-
many, Czecho-Slovakia, Austria,
Italy, France, Switzerland and
Belbium. The travel will be very
comfortable (no rushing), the
hotels good, the sightseeing com-
plete, there will be ample oppor-
tunity for independent action,
and the price is all-inclusive
(New York to New York), and
moderate, $965,

Either Mrs. Wall or this office
will be glad to explain the de-
tails of the tour and with no ob-
ligation nor cost to you. A tele-
phone call or note will bring you
a descriptive booklet.

Sophomore Class Wins Agonistic Cup Again

Class of ’31 Receives
Cup for Second Time

Junior Issue Is Awarded
Second Place.

The Agonistic Cup goes again to the
class of 1931. This is the second year
that the classes have edited the Agon-
istic. All of the issues this year were
especially good but the Sophomore
elass with Laura Brown as editor and
Martha Tower as business manager
wins the cup for the second time.

The judges were the city editors of
the three Atlanta papers. They were
very helpful in offering criticism of
each of the issues that might be of
value to future editors. The Soph-
omore issue had the most attractive
front page and had the news element
that is so necessary on this page. To
quote one of the judges “They made
a better play of the news they had,
judged it more accurately and were
more thorough in their editing.”

The Junior issue wins second place.
The outstanding attraction in this edi-
tion was the clever feature articles.
The front page was excellently bal-
anced but, according to the judges,
needed some color to attract the at-
tention. The staff included Margaret
Armstrong as editor and Sara Town-
send as business manager.

All of the issues were good and all
staffs showed great originality in art
work and feature articles. The worm
idea in the Freshman-edition was. ef-
fectively carried out. The idea of the
“lame ducks” in the Senior edition
they considered especially good too.

The cup was presented to Laura
Brown today and will have 1931 en-
graved upon it and remain in their pos-
session until the contest opens next
year.

Dr. Hayes Speaks
Tuesday Night

Gives Interesting Talk on
England.

Dr. Hayes of Pennsylvania
spoke in the chapel Tuesday night on
“England.” He showed a number of
unusually fine slides, which included
pictures of the chalk cliffs, the cathe-
drals, the abbeys, and the homes of
many people of note. Dr. Hayes has
travelled through England several
times and was able to add many inter-
esting touches to his address.

Dr. Hayes is a graduate of Swarth-
more, Harvard, and Pennsylvania Law
Schools. He is now a lawyer in West
Chester, Pa. This is his second visit
here and he has made many warm
friends who will always welcome him
whenever he returns.

Fashion Shows
Creates Interest

Margaret Gerard Makes
Lovely Queen.

The annual Fashion Show was held
Saturday evening, March 23, in the
gymnasium auditorium under the aus-
pices of the Junior class. It was pre-
sented in pantomime form as “‘Cinder-
ella in Modern Dress.” The models
were furnished through the courtesy
of J. P. Allen and Company; the
Prince was outfitted by Zachery.

Cinderella is, of course, the abused
young girl who works for her sisters,
the two well-dressed, spoiled daugh-
ters of Cinderella’s heartless step-
mother. Scene I shows the sisters and
their friends as they leave in gala
sports attire for a fashionable break-
fast given for the Crown Prince.
Scene II opens with Cinderella sitting
at home, while her sisters have gone
to a masked ball. Her godmother ar-
rives from Paris with a trunk full of
beautiful clothes. Next is the famous
slipper scene where Cinderella, a
dream in filmy white ball gown trim-
med with black lace, running from the
Prince, drops one of her slippers.
Scene IV shows the two sisters, who
are entertaining with a tea at which
all the notables of society are pres-
ent. The Prince comes in to find the
owner of the slipper. It fits no one.
Suddenly he notices the humble
Cinderella, who is serving. The slip-
per tits her perfectiy—the quesi is
ended. The show closes with the wed-
ding scene—a gorgeous spectacle of
all the models in beautiful evening
gowns of every type, all grouped
around the bride and groom. The bride
is exquisitely gowned in a wedding
dress of white satin and tulle, heavily
embroidered with pearls.

The cast included:

The Queen, Cinderella—Marguerite
Gerard.

Prince—Lynn Moore,

Sisters of Cinderealla—B. W. Stowe,
Ditty Winter.

Their mother—Sara Townsend.

Godmother—Hazel Brown.

Page—Chopin Hudson.

Junior-Freshman
Party Is Success

Costumes and Feature
Dances Add Interest.

The gym has never before witnessed
as varied and original a group as it did
last Friday night at the Junior-Fresh-
man party. Roughnecks and furnace
Sokers, farmerettes and kids in romp-
ers, Chinese ladies with their chrysan-
themums and Chinese gentlemen with
their ques, came amicably together
and raised “whoopee” at the door
when they were given cones of French
dip ice cream and chocolate all-day
suckers, The gym was decorated in
blue and white, <A clever skit, the
“Freshman Frolic,” and a dance by
Miss Catherine Robinson of Atlanta

pose of deciding on the two best cos-
tumes. Miss Haynes and Miss
Cheatham acting as judges, awarded
the prize for the most beautiful cos-
tume to Sally Peake, and for the most
original to Ruth Bradford.

Eminent Frenchman
Lectures at Emory

Gives Address on the French
Family.

Monsieur Frantz Funck-Bretano,
well-known historian and playwriter,
spoke at Emory University last Tues-
day evening on “The French Family.”
A large number of Agnes Scott stu-

dents, Emory students and members of |

the Atlanta French Alliance attended,

This lecturer is a man of interna-
tional renown. He speaks very little
English but French very rapidly and
fluently. In his lecture he discussed
first the French family, its ties, its
solidarity. Next he put on the screen
reproductions of famous paintings
which were of significant scenes in
French life. These paintings showed
the French family from the Middle
Ages to the present time.

Monsieur Frantz Funck-Bretano was
honor guest at a dinenr given by Miss

Eta Sigma Phi
Holds Banquet

New Members Are Welcom-
ed Into Club.

Eta Sigma Phi gave a banquet for
the new members of the fraternity
last Thursday evening at the Hotel
Candler. The initiation ceremony was
held in the Propylean Hall just be-
fore the banquet.

The ballroom of the hotel, in which
the banquet was held, was very beauti-
fully decorated in lavendar and gold,
the colors of Eta Sigma Phi. A pro-
fusion of jonquils and other spring
flowers furnished a lovely setting for
the oceasion.

Julia McLendon, the president of the
Alpha Delta Chapter, acted as the
toastmistress of the evening. During
the course of the banquet one group of
the new members under the direction
of Cornelia Taylor entertained the rest
of the club with a stunt. Each girl
impersonated a man or woman of an-
tiquity, such as Cicero and Sappho,

Miss Cheatham Is
Given Year in France

Will Study at University of
Toulouse.

Miss Cheatham, one of the teachers
of our English department, has been
awarded a year of study in France at
the University of Toulouse. The award
was offered to an American student by
the Comte National des Etudies, of
France, and presented by the Institute
of International Education of New
York. The scholastic year lasts from
November fifth to June thirtieth, and
all tuition and living expenses are
paid,

Toulouse is noted as the cultural and
artistic center of France, and it pre-
sents the best opportunities for learn-
ing French life, literature and art. A
fellowship in the University of Toul-
ouse offers a double opportunity for
becoming acquainted with cultural
France. The French scholarship and
teachers are of the best, and much
time is set aside for travel in France
and surrounding countries—Germany,
Spain and Italy. Operatic and dra-
matie attractions and associations are
presented, but the study of French and
English literature and art is particu-
larly stressed.

Miss Cheatham has been looking
forward to a year in France for some
time. The awarded fellowship at the
University of Toulouse is a happy one
for her, for she has been equally in-
terested in French-and Engtish. She
will have a thoroughly enjoyable time,
we know, and her Agnes Scott friends
and pupils join in wishing her “bon
voyage.”

EDITORIAL

THE CONTINUOUS CYCLE

Scientists agree today that life is one continuous cycle from
the lowest form of vegetable life up to man and back again. We
have a little life of our own on the campus, but we cannot get
away from this great truth. The new leaders must take their
places before the old ones leave, in order that this unity and con-
tinuity be preserved.

With this issue of the Agonistic the present staff turns its
work over to the staff elected for next year. We give up our posi-
tions wishing the new staff the best of luck in everything that
may—be-attempted.._ We realize that we-have made mistakes, but
we hope that these mistakes may help them in their plans for
next year.

We also hope that everyone, and especially those who are to
be appointed heads of the various departments, may lend her sup-
port to the staff. It is necessary to have leaders, but these lead-
ers can never accomplish much alone. It is only when we find
groups working together under the direction of leaders that we
find success. When each member of the group has the sense of
responsibility and is willing to co-operate, the greatest amount of
progress can be made. We agree with Steinmetz, who said, “Co-
operation is not only a sentiment, it is an economic necessity.” It
is true that each one will feel that the Agonistic is more nearly her
paper if she has done something toward editing it, but there is the
other side—the staff needs everyone’s support.

It has been the desire on our part to create interest and foster
co-operation by having the various class issues. A great deal has
been accomplished along this line. Class spirit has been aroused,
and much interest has been taken in these issues of the Agonistic.
We hope that the regular issues may create as much interest, and
that the regular staff may receive as much support. In this way,
and only in this way, may each period in the continuous cycle be an
improvement over those that have gone before.

MIRTH

Many difficulties and hardships may be overcome or at least
made very much lighter by a good sense of humor. The person who
learns to smile even when he’s down is the person who is usually
down only a very short time. It has been said, “A man without
mirth is like a wagon without springs, in which one is caused to
jolt disagreeably by every pebble over which it runs.”

GENTLEMAN

Someone’s definition of a gentleman might help us in ours of
a lady.—‘One who will put himself in the place of others; who has
the horror of forcing others into positions from which he would
himself recoil; who has the power to do what seems to him to be
right without considering what others may say or think.”

SUNSHINE AND SHADE

“T live on the sunny side of the street; shady folks live on the
other. I have always preferred the sunshine and have tried to put
other people there, if only for an hour or two at a time,” says
Wilder. How many of us are trying to put others on the sunny
side of the street? We rather look on a person who is already on
that side as though she had no sense of responsibility and no depth
of character. She isa very flighty creature, and not worthy of our
respect. And yet, th eshady side is becoming crowded. Let’s try
the sunshine sometime!

EXCHANGES

tion by the governing body of the Uni-
versity. Thereupon Mr. Ryan, who
appears to be a very militant young
man, raised the issue of a genuine, un-
controlled student government. His
case was championed by the Toronto
Evening Telegram, which gave over a
section to the deposed editor and his
staff.

The student senate selected a new
editor and a new staff. The students
signified their distaste for this “strike-
breaking” sheet by making a bonfire of
it on the campus. And after a period
of deadlock Caput, a body composed
of several deans and the university
president, stepped into the controversy
and promised to make a thorough in-
vestigation of the entire question of
student government.

Judging from the amount of space
devoted to this controversy in the
Canadian student papers, and by the
impassioned editorials in behalf of a
brother editor, censorship in one col-
lege has become an event that every
college journalist views with alarm.
The editorials of the McGill Daily
were especially outspoken. The Daily
has its own correspondent on the
scene. “It is absurd,” commented this
paper editorially, “to suppose that
undergraduate opinion will always be
of a balanced and staid maturity. It
is also absurd to attempt to regulate
everything that is expressed by under-
graduates. The paper is supposed to
represent student opinion, and we con-
sider that every undergraduate in ‘To-
ronto has a right to protest, whether

they actually agree with the editorial |

or not, against the invasion of auto-
ertic authority.”—International Stu-
dent.

Yale Prefers Lindbergh

Yale College Seniors according to
the list of preferences in the annual
class vote to be announced tomorrow
(Monday) in the “Yale Daily News,”
prefer a Phi Beta Kappa key to a
major “Y” earned in sports, incline to-
wards Harvard as their favorite col-
lege next to Yale, and in answer to
the question, “What man, now living,
do you admire most?” cast a tie vote
for ColrCharles A. Lindbergh and “my
father.’ They believe English to be
the most valuable subject, and psy-
chology the least valuable.

Seniors of the Sheffield. Scientific
School, according to the same an-
nouncement, voted to a tie in selecting
President-elect Herbert Hoover and
Col. Lindberh as their favorite world
figure, prefer a major “Y” to Sigma
Xi, and hold Princeton as their favor-
ite college next to Yale. Their list of
favorites in various fields inc}udes
d’Artagnan in fiction; Napoleon in his-
tory; “The Three Musketeers” among
novels; Dumas among prose authors;
“Tf” among poems; and Tennyson
among poets. The Class favors the
Republican Party over the Democratic
Party by a vote of 89 to 26—Vassar
Miscellany News.

To Wake Forest College and N. C.
State recently came letters addressed
“To the Cutest Man in College.” The
Wake Forest student body met to de-
cide the rightful owner of the letter,
but the State letter was given to a
student by mistake by the bursar with-
out proving his right to it. The letters
contained requests for college stickers
by a girl who was being initiated —
The Mercer Cluster.

Youth Serves Youth

Even the most genial faculty man,
whose undergraduate days are not so
many years in the past, cannot sympa-
thize with the problems of the col-
lege student as can a man fresh from
the ranks. The University of Wis-
consin, progressive institution, is try-
ing out the novel plan of putting five
first year graduates, not over twenty-
five years old, in charge of advising
freshman enrolled in arts and letters.

The advisers, selected for activities,
scholarship and personality, have been
given certain of the powers of a dean
of men and allowed to work their own
ideas.

More than a little interest in Wis-
consin experiment is being manifested
on other campi it seems. The general
impression is that it’s a rattling fine
idea—Univ. of Wash. Daily.

Aim of Education
Aristotle said, “An education de-
serves to be accounted liberal only

insofar as it culminates in the idea
of leisure.” He said further that all
other aims and disciplines should be|
subordinated to this “effort” which is
the true felicity.

If we accept Aristotle’s theory the
question is whether a liberal educa-
tion as we know it really does fit one
for a rich enjoyment of his leisure
time. Irving Babbitt says that the
psychology of many college graduates

in their moments of release from
merely vocational activity is indistin-
guishable from that of the tired busi-
ness man. He attributes this to the
fact that there is too much special-
ization ini clleges and not enough gen-
eral education—Montana Kaimin.

Talk about your globe trotters! The
Howard Crifson tells of a Howard
Sophomore who travels 128 miles daily
to and from classes. It seems that the
student lives in a little time about 58
miles from Birmingham, and makes
the trip every day. Since he is a Soph,
and has been doing this same thing
since he entered school, it’s a safe bet
to say that he’s traveled quite a bit |
more than the distance around the |
world.—Mercer Cluster.

Oxford University has bowed its
head to modernism and another tradi-

tion has fallen. For years some of
the colleges within Oxford have been
without bath tubs, but now tubs have
been installed, despite protests of resi-
dents and faculty. One of the chief
objections, according to a party of stu-
dents, was that the students were
_there for only two years at a time.
Poor children——The (Auburn) Plains-
man,

The Collegian

The dashing collegian of 75 years!
ago was much wilder than his modern |
brothers and sisters, according to a
writer in the Tar Heel, who backs up
his statement with letters of an under-
graduate of the fifties and other rec-
ords which make the modern college
youths tame when you compare with
granddad’s day. Some of the more
common pranks of the fifties were: it
was considered quite the thing to get
high and assault members of the facul-
ty with clubs and firearms, and also
to burn unpopular professors in effigy,
and other such charming little enter-
tainments.—The Mercer Cluster.

And That’s Culture!
(Harvard Lampoon)

Met a poor guy the other day who
was kicked out of Harvard College for
cribbing.

He looked on the examination paper
of the man in front of him and stole
his idea.

You see, Harvard College doesn’t
think it’s right to steal that way.
When you do your sealing you want
to be a bit cleverer than that. |

When I first came to Harvard Col-
lege I had the funny idea they might
like an original idea once in a while.
I got that beaten out of me.

In this college there is just ONE
right idea in every course. And that is
the PROFESSOR’S idea. The profes-
sor’s idea has been cribbed out of other
books.

Now all you have to do, is to read
the book the professor’s idea is in, slap |
that down, and you’re a success. j

As long as you have a good memory
and can remember the other man’s
idea, you stay in. If you don’t have a
good memory and have to refer to
notes or look over someone’s shoulder,

you go out. And that’s culture—
Harvard Lampoon.

Night Football

Night football will come into na-
tional prominence in 1929, according to
an article in the March College
Humor. Several schools have played
football at night in the past as an
experiment, and so satisfactory was
the results that it is believed that
night football has come to stay.

At least, it will be brought into the
national spotlight next November
when Coach Knute K. Rockne’s Notre
Dame eleven meets Coach O. M.
Solem’s Drake University eleven at
Soldiers’ Field, Chicago, remembered
as the scene of the Dempsey-Tunney
fight.

It will be Chicago’s first night game
of football, and will be supplemented
by brilliant pyrotechnics. Spectacular
devices never before thought of in con-
nection with a gridiron contest will be
attempted. One can imagine the team
on defense trying to solve the myster-
ies of the hidden ball at night; it being
hard enough to follow the ball in
bright daylight. The town is expected
to turn out to the tune of one hundred
thousand spectators to view this
battle —Exchange.

Southern Business Grows By Leaps
and Bounds

Arthur Coleman, in the April issue
of Holland’s, the Magazine of the
South, says, “Today there are mil-
lions who, being possessed of all the
means of information at man’s com-
mand, do not know the tremendous
steps the New South is making to-
ward her goal of industry supremacy;
do not realize the awe-inspiring power
still unexploited, still untouched. It
seems almost impossible that this
should be so; that people who call
themselves modern, and who live in a
world of modern miracles and modern
means of knowledge, should go unin-
formed concerning so great an econ-
omic movement, change, renaissance,
beneath their heedless noses.

“For the New South is coming into
a power that is startling in scope, in
its vastness. It would be startling in
a purely industrial and commercial
section. Much<i$te amazing is it, then
in a region which the people of a na-
tion have come to regard as purely
agricultural. One expects other and
more commercialized sections of the
United States to show gains and
growth in industry. And that is why
it is so unexpected to learn that, in
six years, the annual value of manu-
factured products in the South in-
creased $567,000,000; while manufac-
tured products values in the remainder
of the country, during those same six
years, decreased $279,509,000.

“The industries of the Nation are
learning that the New South offers
advantages in such abandon and of
such quality as can be found in no
other one section of ayn country. They
are discovering that many Southern

THE AGONISTIC

Well, “the time has come” for us,
too; and this time it’s to enjoy a
pleasant little holiday—perhaps we'll
go home or perhaps we'll stay here.
Anyway, regardless of where we are
or what we’re doing, it’l! be right
much fun not to have to go to school
for a little while. And, though this is
the second holiday we've had this year
(you haven’t forgotten Christmas,

‘have you?), we'll have to confess

we're childish enough to be a little
bit excited. These last two days are
going to be somewhat of a strain, too,
almost as hectic as those several days
before elections last week. But they'll
manage to slip by some way or other,
and before we know it we’ll be bidding
fond friends farewell and promising to
write those left behind. (Incidentally,
we never do it!)

Whew! All this talk of vacation
has really gotten us sort of worked
up—but there’s some society waiting
to be read—so happy holiday, every-
body, and a very merry Easter!

when she had finished, where was the

about Easter though—think of flowers
and Easter eggs and little chickens!

THE AGONISTIC

new collection has more of personal
note than some of his earlier books,
which makes it the more interesting.

Beaux Arts

Among the new novels, probably the
most outstanding is “Kristin Aavran-
sdatter,” by Sigrid Undset. The three
novels which comprise this trilogy—
“The Bridal Wreath,’ “The Mistress
of Husahy,” and “The Cross”—are not
new, but are brought out in a new edi-
tion, the Noble Prize Edition, It is an
historical novel about the Vikings—
and it is filled with all that the idea
suggests: romance, color, war, cruelty,
adventure. It is a book that leaves you
rich in memories, as Time does.

Then there is another new histori-
cal novel: Francis Hackett’s “Henry
the Eighth: The History of a Dynasty
and His Wives.” Most of us, with the
thin plating of information acquired,
have been inclined to place Henry in a
sort of ribald setting. We find it hard
to take seriously a man so matri-
monially inclined. It seems that he
must have had, in spite of his divine
aura of kingship, his tongue in his
cheek and an English twinkle in his
eye. In the course of the discussion of
this book, Christopher Morley quoted
an old fragment that expresses this

read David Aoth’s “The Brownings.”
And if you don’t like biography as a
rule, you will like this one. The fig-
ures move on the canvas, Robert, the
obscure and mystic pact and philos-
opher, and Elizabeth Barrett, lyricist,
poetess of love and joy and life. Their
strange romance comes to life again;
and perhaps those who read this book
will understand why every romance
is strange, why romance is of the stuff
that dreams are made of. “If you are
a hard-boiled realist,’ writes William
Allen White, “avoid this book. But if
You want to know life and life-plus
take “The Brownings” to your heart.”

Great doings Thursday night—just
wait.

Dearest Miss Dix:

I am a very beautiful but modest
co-ed. I have classes under a young
professor who seems to like me very
much. I have had several dates with
him. The other night we rode out on
a lonesome road and parked. I allow-

view of Henry patly: ed him to kiss me several times. Did
2
“Six times he heard and not alone pee Pores With love
That march of Mister Mendelssohn.” Darpiexed:
Dear Perplexed:
One should not be disappointed that ei Dotty.

Mr. Hackett compeltely punctures this
fairly common view of Henry as some-
what of a light-hearted Bluebeard. For
he substitutes a far more arresting
portrait—of a complex personality, a
full-blooded, bull-headed dynast, who
was keen enough to know what he
wanted and who made no bones about
getting it, no matter what the means.
The common notion of Henry is es-
sentially true in one respect: his wives
remain the central fact of his life. He
was a man before he was a king. Mr.
Hackett recognizes this, and it is what
makes his book so readable.

Then there is “West Running
Brook,” by Robert Frost. West Run-
ning Brook, Mr. Frost tells us in the
title-poem, was a little stream that
took its course westward while all the
other creeks in that part of the coun-
tryside were slipping to the east. This

We Think

Another don’t for teachers that
should be added to the list in last
week’s Agonistic is—Don’t allow stu-
dents to work longer than the regular
class periods on tests. We think the
ability to finish within the proper time
is half the virtue in tests; therefore a
time limit ought to be one of the rules
of the game. Besides, it, is obviously
unfair for some students to write on
indefinitely while others have to go to
another class, to chapel, or to lunch.
We are willing to take the consequen-
ces for unfinished work provided no
student gains an advantage by stay-
ing longer when others have to leaye.

M. S., ’30.

We intend that this exposition be
two fold. The first part is to be an
expression in praise of the institution
in question and the second is to be (we
hope) a constructive criticism.

The institution is the Y. W. We
feel that the position that our Y. W.
holds in our college is commendable
and unusual. It is one of the foremost
and most popular activities on the
campus. It draws its officers and
workers from the ranks of the most
capable, intelligent and attractive stu-
dents on the campus. It does a very
great deal of work of many different
varieties and in many different fields
and altogether seems to justify its
existence to the fullest.

In contrast to this are the Y. W.’s
of some schools which we have ob-
served, where the Y. W. is an activ-
ity for those who have been excluded
from sororities and where the Y. W.
type is standardized. When we con-
sider these cases we see how fortun-
ate we are in our Y. W. and the splen-
did work that they are doing.

The recent presentation of the new
purpose of the Y. W. for our con-
sideration, brings to our mind a
thought which has been simmering

there for quite a while. We may be
mistaken about the following facts. It
may be that we are ignorant of cer-
tain facts. But if we are maybe some
one will right us and then our expres-
sion will do’a little good anyway. We
are in favor of the new code, but we
feel that there is a note emphasized
in the old one which has been lacking
in the policy of the Y. W. as we have
observed its workings. Two of the
statements of the purpose of the Y.
W. were:

“To lead students to faith in God
through Jesus Christ.

“To promote growth
faith and character, etc.”

We feel that there has been a lack
of effort to “lead students to faith,”
and “to promote growth in faith” in a
personal way. The appeals seem to
have been rather abstract and haven't
“hit home.” Of course, there are
many obstacles to this. The Y. W.’s
purpose is not (at least we take it so)
principally evangelical and they have
no desire to turn their vesper service
into a “revival meeting,” nor do we
blame them, And then personal faith
is a delicate subject and must be treat-
ed very tactfully if any results are to
be obtained. Maybe we are setting

in Christian

them a unsurmountable task, but we
feel that if this note could be added,
in at least a small way to the policy
of the Y. W., it would be of benefit to
the campus.

This expression is not meant as a
criticism of any one person. It is only
a suggestion and a rather timid one,
for We Thinks are criticized and
their meanings are misconstrued so
unmercifully. We offer it in the hope
that in some small way it will help
the Y. W. in its work here among the
students on the campus.

PHI BETA KAPPA HEAD
SPEAKS IN CHAPEL

Dr. Clark S. Northup Dis-
cusses Factors in Ameri-
can National Life.

“IT am an optimist only so far as
the long run is concerned,” said Dr.
Clark S. Northup, member of the Eng-
lish faculty at Cornell University and
President of the United Chapters of
Phi Beta Kappa, in an open meeting
of that society held in the chapel April
5th.

Dr. Northup discussed four factors

in American life—home, school, church

and international relations.

The home, he said, is at the mercy
of the divorce mill, The effect of the
leniency of the divorce laws on parents
and children is unspeakable. The sanc-
tity of the home must be preserved to
uphold the institution of marriage.

It is Dr. Northup’s belief that never
have school officials had so wide a
field open for their efforts as today.
The number of schools in this country
—indeed, in the world—has increased
greatly in the last decade, and almost
every boy and girl has the opportunity
to develop to the utmost capacity.

Education involves two processes;
the acquisition and assimilation of
learning, and the discipline of the mind
by reflection on these things. The
first process is characteristic of the
earlier part of life, the second, of the
maturer years. Dr. Northup con-
siders the greatest fault of our educa-
tional system its dependence on tradi-
tion and not on science. In this con-
nection he cited the statement of David
Starr Jordan: “Science drone can form
a sound basis for the conduct of life.”

At present we are handicapped by
the lack of good teachers in our
schools and colleges. This is largely
due to inadequate funds. “Money,”
Dr. Northup said, “makes the differ-
ence between good teaching and poor.”

The situation in the church, accord-
ing to Dr. Northup, is not one to
arouse hope. The church of today is
barely holding its own. There has
been a decline in leadership among
both clergy and laity and many people
are beginning to feel that the church
is not the leader in the cause of social
justice, that it preaches a doctrine of
submission to present-day evils. The
inelasticity of its creeds repels many
who have outgrown the old beliefs.
The great task of the church, as Dr.
Northup sees the matter, is to trans-
late the Golden Rule into the dialect
of capital and labor. There is no
need for elaborate creeds; it is the
duty of the individual to arrive at
some definite and satisfactory convic-

Among the characters are Pierrot,

The outstanding feature of this play
is the rather sparkling dialogue.

The third play offered by Black-
friars is “Achilles’ heel.” Mrs, Car-
olyn Pierce Dillard of Atlanta is its
author. She graduated at Randolph-
Macon, then took graduate work at
Emory for a year. In spite of matri-
mony she has not lost her taste for
literary things and has joined Miss
Stephens’ playwriting class. Her play
portrays life in Georgia. Its strong
point is splendid characterization.

These one-act plays are well written
and worth seeing. Blackfriars cordial-
ly invites everyone to its presentation
of them.

Third Annual
Play Day Held

The third annual Play Day of Agnes
Scott took place on April 6. Col-
lege students as well as high school
students enjoyed the festivities very
much, especially the supper-picnic at
Ice Cream Springs. The surrounding
high schools were represented by Girls
High, Washington Seminary, North
Avenue Presbyterian School, Wood-
bury Hall, Commercial High, Fulton
High, Covington High, Decatur High,
Marietta High.

The very varied program gave to
each girl the opportunity of participa-
ting in her favorite sport. Agnes Scott
girls managed the sports and saw to it
that all the visitors were properly en-
tertained.

Program:

2:00 P. M.—Reception.
2:15 P. M.—Posture contest.

2:30 P. M—Basket ball, tennis.

4:00 P. M.—Dancing contest.

4:45 P. M—Plunge period.

5:30 P. M.—Pienic.

SEVEN NEW MEMBERS
RECOGNIZED BY HOASC

Freshman Stunt
Scores Success

Program Is Marked By
Variety.

A stunt in the form of a motion pic-
ture was presented by the Freshman
class last Saturday night for the bene-
fit of the campaign. Pathe News with

Betty Bonham as the Movietone
started off the evening of fun. Tis
Wilson and Mae Schlich did the

hurdles in slow motion to perfection.

! The field day idea was further carried

out by having Sara Bowman as Dr.
health cup to

! Miriam Thompson, while the former

health queen, Florence Graham, bowed
her congratulations. Martha Mc-
Knight and Jane Reid were caught by
the cameraman at a tennis tournament
in poses quite Helenesque. Flashes
were shown of Julia Forrester, as fire
chief, making a speech, and of Mimi
O’Bierne and Charlotte Teasley mas-
querading as Joe and Kitty College
aboard the yacht “Collegiana.”

A selected comedy entitled “The Re-
jected Suitors,” added the comic ele-
mer? The cast included Virginia Her-
rin, reader; Peggy Link, hero; Saxon
Pope, villain; Mary Emma Ashcraft,
star; and Louise Feemster, mother.

“The Lost Bride,” new tragedy fea-
ture picture with an all-star cast, fol-
lowed the comedy, “Coming Attrac-
tions” having failed to come. One can
skip from sequence to sequence and
find each set forth with skill and im-
agination. Sara Lane Smith, as the
bride, did some sterling acting and
although the dying scene was a little
too drawn out, her work is always con-
vincing. The remainder of the cast
was:

Groom—Laura Rawn.
Best Man-——Elizabeth Willingham.

Father of the bride—Harriotte
Brantley.

Mother of the bride—Lila Norfleet.

Groomsméen—Betty Peeples, Anna
Robbins, Betty Comer, D. Lander.

Bridesmaids—Helen Mallory, Susan
Carr, Clyde Lovejoy, Annie Laurie
Smith.

Soloist—La Myra Kane.

College Day
Introduces Preps

On Friday, April 12, the Atlanta
Agnes Scott Alumnae brought to the
campus about fifty Seniors from the
Atlanta high schools. From their ar-
rival at three until their departure at
ten there was a host of things ar-
ranged for these young college preps
to see and do. After visiting the
dormitories and other buildings the
girls were invited to play tennis. Later

ilin the afternoon, after the baseball

games, they went swimming and
finally were given the much antici-
pated treat of inspecting our famous
reducing machine. They were the
guests of the college at dinner in the
dining rooms. From seven until ten a
dance, with an Atlanta orchestra, was
given them in the gym. Between
dances entertaining skits selected from
the Glee-Cot Cabaret were given. The
alumnae served sandwiches and punch
Sarah Bowman
was official hostess for Fulton High
School, Penelope Brown for North
Avenue, Mimi O’Beirne for Washing-
ton Seminary, and Miriam Thompson
for Girls High. Augusta Roberts was
chairman of the college committee and
Miss Florence Perkins headed the At-
lanta Alumnae.

Seven Juniers Elected to
Membership in Honorary
Organization.

In the Hoase announcement made
Saturday morning by Dick Scandrett
in a chapel service in charge of Hoase
the following girls were recognized as
members: Peggy Lou Armstrong,
Elizabeth Flinn, Alice Jernigan,
Blanche Miller, Carolyn Nash, Martha
Stackhouse, and Raemond Wilson.

The substance of Dick Seandrett’s
talk follows: :

“Hoasc, while it is a tangible thing,
is intangible in the sense that a con-
ception of it must be individual. My
own idea of Hoase has undergone sev-
eral changes.

“As a Freshman, when I heard the
first Hoase announcement, I found it
difficult to understand the importance
of the honor, and the reason upper-
classmen felt so excited over it.

“When I was myself elected to
Hoasc, I experienced the feeling of
awe and wonder which is common to
most of its membe's, and in that feel-
ing the predominant element was a
sense of unworthiness. This humility,
I think, is felt by all to whom recog-
nition to Hoase comes.

“As an alumna member I am now an
interested onlooker at what the pres-
ent members of Hoasc are attempting
to do.

“Hoase is not the attainment, but
the striving toward a goal. Election
is an honor, not in the sense that it is
a personal gain, but a privilege given
to go on with previous undertakings.

“Tt is besides an obligation. To be
in Hoase implies a certain ability to
see things that should be done and to
carry them out—the willingness to
undertake responsibility and service.

“Primarily, the keynote of Hoasc is
service. The Hoase type of service is
true and sincere, not performed for
;show or praise. Co-operation should
be the keynote too, for the most effi-
cient service can come only through
working together. It is a loyalty not
only to what we ourselves are doing,
but to our fellow-workers and their
ideals.

“Hoase recognizes not only the work
a girl has already done, but the possi-
bilities she has within her. Again,
Hoase is not the consummation of an
ideal, but the striving toward a goal—
perfection. Each Hoase member should
feel on going out that because the
school has been so dear to her, she
leaves it better for her having been
there.”

Mr. J. A. Caldwell

Every student at Agnes Scott who
ever visited the Dennis Lindsey Print-
ing Company knew and admired Mr.
J. A. Caldwell. In those who were con-
nected with the Aurora and the Agon-
istic the feeling was an even deeper
one. The success of those two publica-
tions for several years has been to a
great extent due to his willing co-oper-
ation and whole-hearted efforts, and it
is with sadness that we hear of his
death on April llth. The Agonistic
out of its own sorrow extends its sym-
pathy to Mr. Caldwell’s famliy.

PROGRAM PRESENTED
BY A. S. GLEE CLUB

The Glee Club will sing April 18th

State Federation of Musie Clubs.
Again, May 5, in the Atlanta Audi-
torium they will give a very delight-
ful program as their contribution for
National Musie Week.

From 8 to 8:30 on Friday night, the
19th of April, the special chorus will

EDITORIAL

THE PURPOSE OF THE AGONISTIC

With this issue of the Agonistic, the staff of 1929-1930 begin
their work. They go into office with the following aims:

First, to furnish news which is current, and to present it
accurately. Such a statement demands a definition of ‘‘news.”
Someone has called it “anything that is interesting.” For a col-
lege paper which must necessarily be conservative, such a defini-
tion cannot stand. The news instinct without the control of sound
judgment and the restraint of conscience is a dangerous thing, and
must be avoided by the newspaper which intends to hold to the line
of distinction between the conservative and the sensational. Ac-
curacy will be the keynote of the publication, and every attempt
will be made to preserve the spirit as well as the letter of the truth.

Second, to encourage journalism. The English of the daily
newspaper, by virtue of its simplicity, graphic quality, and faithful
regard for detail, is becoming more and more completely the stand-
ard of language. The more involved style, complicated by adjec-
tives, has its place, but that place is not in the every-day usage of
the American people. It is sincerely believed that in writing for

The Agonistic, students will be encouraged to use the Anglo-
Saxon word, the exact word, the simple word, and in so doing will

go far in what must be considered one phase of a liberal education.

Third, to promote public opinion. The question “Do we think?”
is asked us often enough, and too many times we are forced to
answer in the negative. Assimilation of facts involves the form-
ing of definite opinions, for thinking is of little value when it does
not reach toward a goal. This attitude in regard to thought is one
which deserves encouragement, and the Agonistic hopes through
its columns to promote desirable and fair-minded public opinion
on the campus.

Finally, to bring the world to the campus and the campus
to the world. Too often a college community becomes self-suffi-
cient. Much has been written and very little done about this
matter of cultivating a world-mind, a spirit of brotherhood, a con-
tact with mankind. The Agonistic proposes to make this contact
possible to a certain extent. The editorial page will not always be
concerned with some abstract principle of life, as has often been
the case in the past, but with matters that are of immediate and
vital interest. It is practically impossible for a college weekly to
include in its limited space a very great amount of national and
international news, but through the medium of editorials, current
events, book reviews, and dramatic criticisms, the Agonistic hopes
to bring to Agnes Scott the “news of nations.”

The college publication, more than any other factor in stu-
dents life, presents an impression of the college itself to the world.
It is for this reason that the Agonistic emphasizes accuracy, and it
will be the ultimate purpose of the Agonistic throughout 1929 and
1930 to bring before the world Agnes Scott at its best and finest.

something seems wrong.

vesper services are not giving what

the subjects pertinent—or the speak-
ers interesting? Those people who do
attend would like to know the opin-
ions of those who don’t come.

Numerous criticisms, pro and con,
have been heard regarding this col-
umn. The cons have it that it hurts
the reputation of the school by ex-
posing to the public gaze its glaring
faults and none—or very few—of its
virtues. The pros maintain that the
reputation of the school is so high
that a few public attacks can’t do
much damage, and that abolishing it
would tend toward the suppression of
public opinion. What do you think?
Any criticisms are gratefully received.

—KEditor.

Ever since the Freshman issue of
the Aggie came out I have been think-
ing—and all because of a little “We
Think” written, probably hastily, by
a Freshman. It seems that this Fresh-
man had a rather hard time of it the
first of the year finding her way
around. I am not contradicting that,
but I do not think that the blame
should be laid upon the college and
its way of handling the incoming
hordes. The Y. W. C. A. has charge
of welcoming Freshmen, and plans to-
ward that end are made before our ar-
rival at school. Thus we see that no
catch-as-can method is used, but a
well-organized and very helpful one.

The first thing I remember seeing
at A. S. C. was an information desk
near the entrance. The girl behind the
desk looked as if she knew everything
and would be glad to help anyone.
Then swarms of “old girls” dressed in
white, wearing welcome and informa-
tion signs, simply surrounded me. I
could not have gotten around them if
I had tried. So much for that.

As a Freshman I was a study in
green. Nothing knew, nothing cared—
much. Without aid I would never have
gotten anywhere. With it I had a fair
chance of veaching the required de-
partments.

Seriously, it seems to me that when
a girl is sent to college she is expect-
ed to cultivate self-reliance and initia-
tive. She may as well begin right at
the beginning—by asking questions.
Everyone knows a Freshman doesn’t
know anything about college, so why
mind asking for information? With as
many sources as there are I think it
is largely our own fault if we wander
about for days in a fog.

A Freshman.

Does anyone have an opinion in re-
gard to these little fences we have on
the campus? They are certainly not
ornamental, and any casual observer
can see that they are almost useless.
It’s just as easy to erawl under or
climb over, as go around. It seems
rather amazing that college students
cannot rely on their public spirit to
keep off the grass.

EXCAAQGE

ling now here is the Woman’s “IF.”

If you can keep from saying “‘He’s the

And telling me of other boys you’ve

And not keep cooing “Oh now Honey”

The while you cut the strings of my

cap.
If you can kiss me without looking
soulful,

And necking, not chew gum right in

my ear—
If you can measure up and still be
human,

Why then, my girl, I'll date you by

—Bugle Call.

Is it that the | Where Two Heads Make Better Grades

Than One

Not very long ago a report was
printed in the Tar Heel to the effect
that a certain college would, after a
given date, disbar married men and
women from its classrooms. And now
we have another report, this time stat-
ing that “Marriage improves students’
grades” and that there is a greater
tendency to settle down in the state of
wedded bliss and attend more strictly
to books.

Princeton Is Defeated By Debate
Team

Emory won a two to one victory
over Princeton university Tuesday
evening at the Emory auditorium
in a debate on the question, “Resolved,
That national advertising as now car-
ried on is socially and economically
harmful.”

This is the first engagement that
Emory has ever had with Princeton.
Dr. T. H. English presided.

Princeton, represented by W. W.
Haynes, Karl H. Kreder, and John E.
Thiele, upheld the affirmative side of
the question.

My Ideal Woman

By a Man
No, sir, she doesn’t have to be any
mental prodigy—my ideal woman.

She must know how to dress, but not
in a manner that will attract undue
attention. She doesn’t necessarily
have to be beautiful, but she must be
the type that you can look at for some
time without getting tired.

She must be adaptable, and should
be able to take care of herself in
various types of company. She must
be the type that can make almost any
man she likes believe he can kiss her
if he tries hard enough, but she must
be unusually careful whom she likes.
I would prefer, of course, that the
chosen one be myself. She must be
good enough to be good, and just bad
enough to make you believe she could
be bad if she wanted to but doesn’t
want to.

My ideal woman should have ideals.
They must not be the kind of ideals
she can go around talking about con-
stantly, but the kind that actually
stand out in her character and which
are not changeable with her moods.
While speaking of moods, the ideal
woman in my conception must never
let her companions know just the na-
ture of that mood, but must try to be
her own little self in spite of adversity
or triumph,

As a student, my ideal woman does
not need to average “A-plus,” but
should seldorm let her average fall be-
low a “B.” She should engage in stu-
dent activities and take at least an
ostensible interest in sports, both for
men and for women. She should be
mentally Hwaké,

My ideal woman must be morally
sound, To be thus, I would be dis-
appointed if she were a prude. I would
want her to be the kind of a girl who
acknowledges her religious nature, and
she should recognize that there is a
Supreme Power which guides her very
existence.

My ideal woman is an all-’round
givl. The-kind of woman who can be
depended upon to be the mother of my
children, and not make those children

\a disgrace to myself, herself and the

race.—The Davidsonian.

The man who wrote this is an ideal-
ist. If such a type of girl exists, she
is so hidden with camouflage that the
average man cannot recognize her.—
The Bull Dog.

"Can this be true,” questions a col-
lege paper in stating that Margaret
Lloyd, a student at Bessie Tift College,
has recently been honored by receiving
an appointment to West Point Mili-
tary Academy.

If so, it is a safe bet that she will
lead the cadets, carrying her com-
pany’s colors in her compact.—The
Gamecock.

THE AGONISTIC

Freshmen!

Make these last few weeks of school
really count! Come to Dr. McCain’s
Sunday School class! You don’t real-
ize what an opportunity you’re miss-
ing. And it’s a chance that you have
only during your Freshman year.
Don’t let it go by! Dr. MeCain him-
self is going to talk or see that some
one else does it well. The Juniors who
were in the class when they were
Freshmen will have charge one Sun-
day; the Sophomores another. Come,
enjoy the programs and, incidentally,
show those classes that ours is just as
good as theirs.

Here are the topics for the rest of
the meetings, all of them ones in which
we are exceedingly interested. They
are not given here in the order in
which they will be presented. Practic-
ally all have been listed by special re-
quest, and it must be understood that
only the most casual treatment can
be given of such important topics.

I. Some Problems of War and Peace:

1. Is killing in war murder?

2. May we look for world peace be-
fore Christ comes?

3. Is compulsory military training
in Christian colleges justifiable?

4. Has the individual college stu-
dent responsibility in working for
peace? If so, what is it?

Il. “Come Out and Be Ye Sep-
arate”:

1. What should be the distinguish-
ing marks of a Christian?

2. What is worldly conformity?

3. Does Christianity involve self-
denial?

4. Does following Christ limit our
amusements ?

Til. What Does Being “Saved” In-
volve?
1. Are there clear-cut conditions of

salvation?

2, May heathen who never heard
the conditions be saved?

3. What about infants?

4. Can an individual save himself?
Tf not, does he have any part in the
process ?

IV. Some Problems in Understand-
ing God—Part I.

1. The Trinity.

2. His Attributes.

3. Methods of revealing Himself.

V. Some Problems in Understand-
ing God—Part II.

* 4. His attitude toward temptation
and sin.

2. His relation to the Devil.

3. Predestination. Is it fatalism?

VI. Some Problems in Christian
Ethics:

1. Do duties ever conflict?

2. Is it ever right to do evil that
good may come?

3. Is it right to worry?

4. May we say that misfortunes:
that come to individuals or families
are in punishment for sin?

VIII. Future Life.

1. What are the evidences of im-
mortality for man?

2. Heaven.

3. Hell.

4, Eternity.

Y. W. Conference

At Blue Ridge

Promises Interesting Pro-
gram.

The first two weeks of June will be
chiefly concerned with the Y. W. C. A.
Conference at Blue Ridge. To those
who live in the lowlands and have
never known the mountains there is an
inspiration in their beauty that is in
itself eternal. There is offered a
chance to talk over problems with
older men and women who are keenly
alive to the problems of our world.
There is also an opportunity here for
friendship and fellowship with stu-
dents from other colleges by which
our outlook may be broadened and our
intellect stimulated. From the service
of worship which begins the day to the
group meetings at night there is much
to appeal to everyone.

The first four days of the confer-
ence there will be a study of “Under-
standing Ourselves.” This includes
such items as family; Men and
Women Relationships; Personality;
Adjustments; and Prayer. The last
day will inclde broader relationships,
such as Industry; International Rela-
tions and Race. The underlying theme
of all these considerations is “Under-
standing Jesus.”

The afternoons will be devoted to
recreation and rest, while after supper
there will be vespers, speakers, and
delegation meetings.

At Blue Ridge there will be many of
the speakers whom we already know:
Dr. R. B. Eleazer of the Southern In-
terracial Commission in Atlanta, Miss
Carrie E. Meares and Miss Willa
Young National Student Secretaries
(southern division); Miss Cornelia
Engle of the Presbyterian Board; Mrs.
Hazen Smith of Duke University and
Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, who is to be
the recreation leader,

The registration fee for the full con-
ference period is $8.00 and a summer
round trip ticket may be bought to
Black Mountain, N. C. Special trips to
places of interest near Blue Ridge are
arranged—and the ten days of the
conference are filled to the fullest with
classes, lectures. discussions and rec-
reation.

“Of course I love you, darling, but

sunburn is sunburn.”

The wisest crack of all is to keep
the one in your face shut.

Did you hear about the Scotchman
who stood and snapped his fingers on
the Fourth of July?

May Day Committee
Makes Final Plans

No Kdeiinsion Charged This
Year.

The May Day Committee met Wed-
nesday afternoon to make final ar-
rangements for the May Day produc-
tion which will occur May 4 in the
Agnes Scott May Day dell. Rehears-
als have been going on for two weeks
now, and the festival promises to be
exceedingly attractive. One of the
loveliest features will be the musical
theme, which is the work of Mr. Dieck-
mann and is full of feeling and color.

The group dances this year are
especially effective and the costumes,
which were designed by Margaret Me-
Coy and Lucille Bridgman, are unusual
and brilliant.

Group rehearsals will continue until
the week of April 29 when two out-
door practices of the entire cast will
be held. It will be of interest to the
student body to know that no admis-
sion will be charged students this year.

tion, though holding his mind always
open to the reception of new truths.
The church of the future will be rel-
atively a creedless church, catering
not to the wealthy, but insisting on
democracy, and bringing life to those
who need it.

In analyzing the international rela-
tions situation, Dr. Northup finds two
causes of international dislike: ignor-
ance and the mistrust born thereby, and
the struggle for supremacy in trade
which is closely associated with the
tendency toward imperialism. The
latter is one of the most fertile sources
of war. The remedy for this situation
lies only in a new conception and prac-
tice of the doctrine of brotherhood.

“These tendencies in American life,”
Dr. Northup concluded, “may result
fatally. While I whole-heartedly ad-
mit the fact that righteousness exalt-
eth a nation, I maintain besides that
only through the intelligence of its
people shall the soul of a nation be
saved,’’

Secretary Speaks
In Chapel April 17

Agnes Scott Is
Represented At
A. A. U. W. Conv.

Gives Five Tests of the Edu-| Miss J ockont Miss Alex-

cated Person.

Mr. Harry Bone, traveling student
secretary of the Y. M. C. A., spoke
in chapel last week. He introduced
his subject by remarking on the dif-
fexence among colleges as to size and

t'We. He said that he was more im-

ander at Conference.

Miss Jackson, as president of the
Atlanta branch of the American As-
sociation of University Women, and
Miss Alexander, as the delegate from
Agnes Scott, made a most interesting
visit to New Orleans last week where

picssed, however, by similarities. In| the meeting of the association was
the typical college of today there are| held for this year.

two curricula, the faculty curriculum
and the student curriculum. The fac-
ulty curriculum is the academie work
and the student curriculum is outside
activities—athletic, literary, religious,
social, ete. He quoted Wilson as say-
ing when he was president of Prince-
ton that the side show was about to
swallow up the circus. Some students
put twice as much time on outside ac-
tivities as they do on their studies.
The student curriculum is peculiarly
an American phenomenon. It is con-
structed by the students to supplement
the faculty curriculum although in
some cases it supplants the faculty
curriculum. Instead of a curriculum
of the faculty, by the faculty, for the
students, we have the curriculum of
the students, by the students, for the
students.

Some people still think that college
will automatically educate them. The
faculty have to spend their time be-
guiling the students to follow intel-
lectual pursuits. But some people suc-
cessfully resist culture.

Mr. Bone then gave five tests of
an educated person.

1. Physical efficiency.
the most from our bodies?

2. Mental efficiency. Do we attain
the maximum efficiency from our
minds? Do we have a general knowl-
edge of how to deal with our moods?

3. Personal philosophy of life. Col-
lege is the time to begin to develop
oneself. Many of the attitudes built in-
to our nervous system are good, but
many are not ideals but prejudices.
Some people keep their religious ideas
intact. Others make a wholesale re-
jection. We should choose a middle
course of discriminating for evalua-
tions which prove by present experi-
ence and rational thought to be
sound.

4. Capacity in the realm of life
work. Over fifty per cent of people
are vocational misfits. This is due to
the superficial basis on which many
people choose their life work. To
choose our work we must have a
knowledge of ourself and of fields of
work.

5. The ability to make a marriage
successful. If there are many mis-
fits in marriage it is because we are
not trained for matrimony. There has
been more change in the status of
woman in western civilization in the
last generation than in all the history
of western civilization previous. It is
now in a beginning stage. The sec-
ond stage will be equality and division
of labor.

“We can test both curricula by these
five criterions,” Mr. Bone concluded.

ADDITION TO CLASS OF 745

Mr. Cunningham has a new grand-
daughter, Martha Elizabeth Cunning-
ham, who was born March 22, at
Columbia, South Carolina. Mr. Cun-
ningham has not yet seen his grand-
daughter, but from the reports of her
grandmother, she is all that could be
expected of a baby. Her mother was
Eva Wassum, a loyal Hottentot of
the class of ’23. She expects to at-
tend the commencement this year and
bring little Miss Cunningham, whom
she is going to enroll as a future stu-
dent here.

The purpose of the confederation is
to stimulate interest in the education
of women. The meeting this year was
especially interesting because of the
admittance of three new schools: the
University of Alabama, the University |
of Georgia, and Shorter. Of these, |
the University of Alabama is the only
one which is not on prebation, having
upheld the standards of the associa-
tion for the specified five years. There
were other interesting phases of the
meeting including the discussion of
International Relations, the address be-
ing made by Professor Ellen Gluditsch.
The question of instituting new fel-
lowships was brought up, and a mil-
lion dollar drive is now being put on

for this purpose. At present there are
but nine fellowships.

The visitors were most delightfully
entertained during their visit with
sight-seeing tours to both the old and
new sections of the city. There was
also a lovely tea give for them at
Sophie Newcomb College.

Stackhouse to Be
President S.LA.S.G.

Morgan and Stackhouse Re-
turn from New Orleans.

Elinor Morgan and Martha Stack-
house returned Sunday from New
Orleans where they attended the an-
nual conference of the Southern In-
tercollegiate Association of Student
Government. Members of the Associa-

They report a splendid meeting, the
outstanding matter of interest to
Agnes Scott being the election of
Martha Stackhouse to the presidency
of the Association for the coming year.

Other officers elected include Betty
Sloan, of N. C. C. W., vice president;
Dorothy Solomon, of Converse, secre-
tary; Alma Wyche, of Duke Univer-

Presbytery Guest
Of Agnes Scott

Meeting Held With Decatur
Church.

Agnes Scott opened her portals again
to the Presbytery on Wednesday,
April 17, when we had as our guests
for dinner the delegates to the At-
lanta Presbytery. The meeting was
continuous from Tuesday through
Thursday during which time the im-
portant events were dinners given by
the Decatur Presbyterian Church,
Columbia Seminary and Agnes Scott
(as told by a delegate). We welcomed
this opportunity of meeting the mem-
bers of the Presbytery and hope that
we may have the same opportunity
next year.

On Thursday afternoon the members
of the convention were entertained by
Miss Hopkins and Dr. McCain at a tea
in Rebekah Scott lobby. The social
committee of the Y. W. C. A., under
the direction of Pauline Willoughby,
and Hoase were in charge of the oc-
casion. Marion Green and Helon
Brown presided at the punch bowls.

On Thursday night Frances and
Dorsey Whittington, guest artists of
the convention, appeared in a_ two-
piano concert in the George Bucher
Scott gymnasium. The following com-
ment on the performance appeared in
a local paper: “Dorsey Whittington is
appropriately called ‘The poet of the
keyboard.’ Whether the artist is in-
terpreting classic, romantic, or ultra-
modern music, he has a responsive
audience. Frances Whittington’s talent
blends with that of her husband, and
their two charming personalities har-
monize as well as their notes.”

Before the appearance of Mr, and
bores Whittington, the Agnes Scott
Glee Club rendered a short program.

Faculty Members
Take Part in Play

Miss Frances K. Gooch Is
Star.

Among the plays presented by Miss
Nan Stephens last week at St. Philip’s
Cathedral was a comedy, “All in a
Day’s Work,” in which three members
of the Agnes Scott faculty took the
leading roles. Miss Gooch as an Irish
washwoman did an excellent bit of
character portrayal. The DeKalb New
Era, in writing of the presentation,
says, “We are wondering how it hap-
pens that Miss Gooch is on the faculty
of a girls’ college instead of treading
the boards in a theater.”

Miss Ruth Pirkle took the part of
Lizzie La Roque and Dr. de Jonge that
of Dan La Roque. The play was un-
usually well presented, and this fact,
combined with the personnel of the
cast, made it one of the most interest-
ing events of the year for those who
attended from Agnes Scott.

The same play will be given in the
chapel Tuesday, April 30, after Stu-
dent Government.

Blackfriars of
A. S. Present
One-Act Plays

Plays Show Dramatic Abil-
ity and Technique

Saturday night Blackfriars present-
ed to a large audience their fourth an-
nual program of one-act plays written
by Miss Stephens’ play-writing class.
The first play, “The Grate,” by Helen

' Ridley, was a wierd story of the hatred

of a woman for her brother, Dan,
because, she thinks he lured her hus-
band and her son to the sea to their
death. Half insane, she declares that
Dan’s spirit keeps knocking at the
grate to ask her forgiveness so that he
may enter Heaven. The boy, falsely

reported dead, returns to vindicate his
uncle, and with the mother’s forgive-
ness, the knocking at the grate ceases.
Due to illness, Aileen Moore was un-
able to play the role of the mother.

| Her place was ably taken by Mary

Sayward, who will be remembered by
old Hottentots as last year’s president
of Blackfriars and who was acclaimed
by all to be a splendid actress. The
other players were Helen Sisson as
the daughter, Laurie; Marion Green
as another brother of the woman, and
Ruth Mallory as the sailor boy.

The second play, “Once In a Blue
Moon,” by Polly Vaughan, was a de-
lightful fantasy. After a prologue by
Sara Carter in which we are told that
this is what might happen “Once in a
Blue Moon,” the curtain rises on a
cozy corner of the moon. Pierrot and
Pierrette, weary of all their games, de-
eide to try the new game of Love
which all the mortals are playing. Not
knowing the prize, they begin to play.
Ali goes well until Columbine, the flirt,
enters and makes off with Pierrot.
Pierrette, trying a most successful
finesse, flirts with Harlequin and suc-
ceeds in waking Pierrot up. The play
ends with their realization that Love
itself is the prize. Louise Robertson
made a lovely Pierrette and Shirley
MecPhaul a dashing Pierrot. The char-
acters of Harlequin (Helon McLaurin)
and Columbine (Dit Quarles) were also
excellently portrayed.

The last play, “Achilles’ Heel,” was
written by Mrs. Carolyn Dillard, of
Atlanta, who, while not an Agnes
Scotter, is a writer whom we are proud
to claim. Her play portrays a scene
in the life of a strong, dominant
woman (Dorothy Brown), who has
struggled against the most adverse
conditions to educate her daughter,
Page (Annie Zillah Watson), for a
musical career, almost to the exclusion
of love for her younger daughter,
Nancy (Julia Thompson). Page, hav-
ing been dominated all her life, final-
ly breaks away and refusing to go to
Chicago to study, discloses her mar-
riage to the grocer’s son, Gus Moore
(Marion Greene). After the departure
of the couple without her forgiveness,
Mrs. Blackwell seems almost subdued.
This is only momentary, for she rouses
herself and turns her attention to
Nancy, who is to be made by her
mother into a great painter.

EDITORIAL

A recent speaker at Agnes Scott said, “The change in the
status of woman has been greater than any other change in mod-
ern civilization. She is assuming rather than asserting her free-
dom, reaching toward equality with man rather than similiarity.”
This statement is especially interesting in view of the fact that the
Nobel Prize for Literature for 1928 was awarded recently to Sigrid
Undset, Norwegian wife, mother, homebuilder, social reformer,
and historical novelist.

This fact is of peculiar interest to women. In the first place,
it is an evidence of a woman’s equality with man. Of course,
women have written books before—but not such books as Sigrid
Undset writes. She has been compared to Dostojevski in her
power of character delineation and her soul-revealing quality. Few
Scandinavian writers have surpassed her in analysis of the masses.
Hans Olav says, “Sigrid Undset’s works about the middle ages are
not excelled by Sienkiewicz’ ‘Quo Vadis.’ ”

She has an uncanny way of projecting her reader into the past
so completely that he loses himself in his interest at the drama of
human souls which she depicts against the background of four-
teenth century Norway. She has brought about a wonderful re-
juvenation of the Norse saga; “plowed and sowed and harvested
a period in Norwegian history that before her was a wilderness.
Hers is the honor of having discovered both its beauty and its
mistery, its joy and pain.” Any man might well be proud of such
an achievement.

Her viewpoint is no more modern than her field. She has a
masculine straitness of moral conception that demands in its phil-
osophy of life the doctrine of expiation of sin. She never admits
the slightest compromise; sin and suffering are in her mind in-
separable.

In the second place, Sigrid Undset lives as a woman and proves
thereby that real creative work need not exclude the normal func-
tioning of a woman’s existence. Mrs. Undset is the wife of the
artist Anders Svarstad and the mother of four children. Her home
is an ancient house in the Lillehammer Valley which she has re-
stored and furnished with old Norse pieces. Her hobby is a re-
markable collection of French and Belgian laces. -Her interests
are, therefore, to a great extent, the interests of the average
woman.

Sigrid Undset, achieving the most coveted of all literary hon-
ors, yet maintaining her interest in homebuilding, collecting, and
social reform, is an outstanding figure in the expanded life that has
come to womanhood. Many women are not profiting so well by
their enlarged privilege; too frequently they are exhibiting their
lack of balance in handling it. They need realization of the spirit-
ual factors which contribute more to depth of character than to ex-
tension of latitude. Unless this changed status of womanhood re-
tains idealism and faith and stability, it will have failed in its most
important object.

servant.

Generations of traditional reactions,
of imbibed superiority have formed
racial prejudice in the heart—racial in-
compatibility in the social order.
It seems a difficult thing, a far
in the future venture, this world-wide
achievement of Universal Brother-
hood. But events that are strange to
the minds of men are accomplished
with surpassing ease when man opens
his heart to the will of God.

On a dark, northern night at sea,
it seemed to sailors manning a trad-
ing vessel, that all the world was mov-
ing in a southward direction—winds,
currents and surface ice sweeping
along in one gigantic movement. Grad-
ually there came into view a huge ice-
berg, moving against wind and tide,
plowing through the surface ice in the
opposite direction. The explanation
was, surface ice was floated along in
the surface current, while the iceberg,
with its base deep in a more powerful
current, was borne along against all
opposition.

It is well to remind ourselves that
everyone who has accepted Christ, the
Savior, has accepted the doctrine of
World Brotherhood in its practical as
well as spiritual applications. “To
love thy neighbor is to walk with thy
neighbor—talk with thy neighbor—.

Y. W. C. A.

Following is the talk which Carolyn
Essig gave at the Feast of Lanterns
Sunday night:

At the twilight hour there steals
over the hearts of men, a serene,
infinite tranquil sense of harmony with
the world—with God’s world of roseate
sunset clouds and streaks of regal pur-
ple across a fleeting sky . .. with
God’s world of towering trees standing
revently, reposeful, while lilacs, and
roses, bridal wreath and iris whisper
sleepily to departing day .. . with
the creatures over which God has
given man dominion—in infinite har-
mony with man, wholly loving, tender-
ly understanding, all brothers of all
men, each the kin of Christ.

It is this trust, this contentment, this
infinite harmony that we would expand
from the twilight hour to the colder,
more material, more code-cluttered
hours of daily life.

It is particularly fitting that at this
twilight hour, when the heart of man
is attuned to infinite truths, and at the
spring tide of the year when all the
earth is a firmament of delicate beauty
—pulsating with a vital life force,
each sprouting shoot and unfurling

dant life to come—fitting that at this q :

Like most vital phrases, World Fel-
lowship has fallen upon our ears since
the days when we swung restless baby
feet from stiff-backed church pews. It
entered our consciousness with the
softness of summer rains. It was
years before we were vitally awaken-
ed—struck with a sudden realization
that the phrase World Fellowship held
an intimate, personal beauty and re-
sponsibility—that it was up to me—to
you—to open our own hearts to the
words of Christ that teach World Fel-
lowship—to the acts of Christ that il-
lustrate World Fellowship—to the
prophesies of the word that predict
World Fellowship as an ultimate ac-
tuality.

The primal step in any resolve is to
clarify a vision of the aim. Our aim,
aligned with Christ’s and God’s, is
World Fellowship. It is a simple aim.
A sincere aim. Bearing no greater
burden than doing unto others as you
would have others do unto you—than
loving thy neighbor as thyself.

There are many organizations that
carry high the banner of an _ ideal
world brotherhocd. There are many
meeting grounds where problems are
discussed. But of these, there could
not be one more perfectly attuned than
Blue Ridge to create a glorious sym-
phony of wholesome comradeship, of
prayerful and intellectual questionings
into existing problems—social, econ-
omic, racial, moral—in a setting that
exquisitely, breath-takingly, reveals
the subtle power and unspeakable
beauty of God, the Creator.

At Blue Ridge you have fun—pure
and simple. There is tennis and cap-
tured mountain water swimming,
hiking and parties, briskly cool eve-
nings and sun-splashed mid-days, and
through it all, glorious comradeship.

But you know all about Blue Ridge
—the important thing is that with it
all, Blue Ridge emphasises the utter
necessity of activity—mental activity
to recognize .problems—mental and
spiritual activity to see a way clear
through those problems, and physical
activity to carry out the required
changes.

But thousands of years of civiliza-
tion have built appalling social bar-
riers against the realization of this
ereed. Each race considers another in-
ferior—economie protection discrim-
inates, politics plays one against the
other. Wherever two races live side
by side, one is the master, one is the

ious coloring.” “His Glorious drawing
is another fact about Titian,’ added
another. A third and a fourth spoke
in praise of Titian, until Carlyle, with
egotistical emphasis and obvious de-
liberation, added, “And here am I, a
man made in the image of God, who}
knows nothing about Titian, and cares
nothing about Titian, and that’s an-
other thing about Titian.” But Thack-
ery bowed gravely to his fellow guests,
“Pardon me,” he said, “but that is not
a fact about Titian. It is a fact, a
lamentable fact, but about Thomas
Carlyle.”

Tt is a mark of narrow and selfish
mind and heart to despise other people
of other races, and to be indifferent to
them,

An open-minded view of what we
owe other peoples of the world will
very sanely develop a respect for their
reason. Charles M. Sheldon has sug-
gested that—

The great Chinese people have
taught the world the lessons of labor,
patience, and to a great degree trust-
worthiness. The Chinese merchant in
America is regarded by the American
merchant as truly dependable.

From the Japanese the world has
learned the same lesson of industry
and economy of living, and also some
of the most beautiful things in horti-
culture.

Russia, the great giant, mysterious
and chaotic, struggling in the throes of
civil and industrial warfare, has within

her great things and among them a
love of liberty, a passion that has sent
thousands to Siberia to die. With it
all, Russia has given the world a great
literature. Any race that can pro-
duce a Tolstoy is a race that has in it
the germ of mighty things to come.

France has taught art, thrift and
courage. Great Britain has stood for
human liberty and religious freedom
and order.

We think sometimes that the de-
spised races can not tell us anything.
But the negro, only about half a cen-
tury out of slavery, has a mighty les-
son to give us. He has stood through
his oppression as an example of un-
equaled optimism. The negro has al-
ways been religious. There is hardly
an example of Atheism in the whole
history of the race. With all the rest
there is his gift of music that is be-
yond the comprehension of men,

The American Indian can teach the
lesson of religious reverence, even in
his simple and as we think, mistaken
ideas of worship. His characteristic
keeping of his word, and his wonderful
art in rug weaving and painting are
vital contributions to the world’s en-
joyment.

When races intelligently respect the
reason of other races—when individ-
uals, you and I, have made an earnest
effort toward understanding, toward
appreciating the talents of other races,
the day of World Brotherhood will
have dawned.

In the souls of a rare few there is

born a complete love cf fellow man.
It is enough for them that God so
loved the Werld. It is this spirit of a
complete love that sent the Samaritan
to his knees beside the man from
Jericho. It was this love that inspir-
ed Philip to honor the behest that he
rise and go down from Jerusalem to
Gaza, where he met, preached to, and
baptized the Ethiopian eunuch of great
authority. It is this love which is a
passionate response to fellow men as a
child a man’s own brother—that must
be developed and nurtured in the heart
of every Christian.

Then there must be girded on the
armor of indomitable courage. In this
modern world of barriers of oceans
and continents—language and race—
tradition and custom—imagination and
vision—of prevalent indifference and
scoffing materialism—it takes a cour-

jage to stand forth and openly proclaim

Christ’s doctrine of World Fellowship.
It is simple—it is inclusively a ques-
tion of complete or lacking Christian
faith. Look to thy own heart—judre
thyself alone.

Your own respect of reason, Chris-
tian love, and spiritual courage will
work as shuttles going to and fro,
weaving a fabric of a Universal World
Fellowship.

A movement was recently started by
a colonel in Hungary to inaugurate a
new greeting, “Better future,” and the
reply, “God give,” in place of the usual
greeting, “I wish you good morning,”
or the casual “Servus,” that has per-
sisted since the days when all educated
Hungary conversed in Latin. A Scout
Master in a letter to the press, object-
ed that the greeting seemed to call
upon fate to be merciful, striking the
note of a fatalistic era, and suggested
that the Scout greeting, “Good work,”
was more suitable to the young Hung-
ary. So it is with Blue Ridge toward
the ideal of World Fellowship. It is
up to our generation, through active
work and earnest understanding to
bring the ideal of World Fellowship
nearer reality.

(man,

Pi Alpha Phi held spring try-outs in
the chapel Thursday evening. A num-

and those elected for membership are:
Clarene Dorsey, Clyde Lovejoy, An-
drewena Robinson, and Katherine
Wright.

The next meeting of the club, May

Essay club announces three new
members: Betty Bonham, Jane Eaves
and Frances Messer.

Dr. Gyssling, German consul to At-
lanta, spoke to the International Re-
lations Club at its regular monthly
meeting Thursday night on the subject
of “German Reparations.” Dr Gyss-
ling ably reviewed the history of the
plans for payment of the German debt.
His discussion of the question included
a review of the Wilson plan, the Ver-
sailles treaty, the Dawes plan, and the

mission on the German situation.

Still, Giddy, I hope you don’t need
any advice—having gone to Agnes
Scott, you’re quite capable of inter-
esting any mere man—but one warn-
ing—don’t ever let them see you have
more sense than they, one of our belles
just told me that).

I'd better stop being helpful to you
and help myself by taking a few notes
on this lecture.

THE AGONISTIC

Track Meet Won
By Sophomores

Juniors Come a Close Sec-
ond.

Beaux Arts

Lindbergh certainly started things
when he made his famous flight. His
latest inspiration is a new cantata by
Kurt Weill, another German modern-
ist. Written for the July Festival in

The track meet was a big success!
The events went off in rapid order
with only a few necessary overlap-
pings.

The events in order and the winners
were:

1. 75 Yd. Dash—Won by Juniors.
2. Hop, Step, Jump—Won by Fresh-
men.
3. Hurdles for Form—Won by Jun-
iors.
4. Baseball Throw—Won by Soph-
omores.
5. 50 Yd. Dash—Won by Juniors.
6. Javelin Throw—Won by Soph-
omores.
7. Hurdles for Speed—Won by Soph-
omores.
8. Basketball throw—Tied by Jun-
iors and Sophomores.
9. Discus Throw—Won by Juniors.
10. Potato Race—Won by Soph-
omores.
11. Sack Race—Won by Sophomores.
12. Pursuit Relay—Won by Fresh-

men.

The Sophomores won with a score
of 58 points; the Juniors ran a close
second with 54 points.

Bowman distinguished herself in the
hop, step, jump and outdistanced
everyone. She also proved herself a
good runner in the pursuit relay.

McCalip repeated her feats of last
year by winning the basketball throw
and breaking the record—this time her
own—in the baseball throw.

Particularly good form was shown
in the javelin and the discus throws.
Ferguson, although she did not win
first place, had excellent form in jave-
lin throw and succeeded in making the
javelin stick in the ground each time.
In the discus throw Arwood distin-
guished herself both in form and dis-
tance. Schlich, Welsh and Preston
also had very good form.

There were two other features of
the track meet which should by no
means be overlooked. The first was the
aw participation of the faculty.
Each faculty member wore a white tag
to show what he or she was asked to
do. Miss Laney showed her good
sportsmanship by holding down the
man’s job of measurer, along with Dr.
Hayes and Dr. Davidson. Even Miss
Gooch honored the meet with her pres-
ence for a few minutes.

The decorations were the second
thing of note. They were very elab-
orate, extending entirely around the
field. The bright colors of the stream-
ers added very decidedly to the spirit
of festivity.

Baden-Baden, a drowsy watering place
in the Black Forest which has found
itself the seat of radical musical ex-
periment, it is intended also for radio
consumption.

Childishly simple in conception,
couched in free verse, the libretto wal-
lows in German sentimental-realism.
Fog, snow, the hum of the motor, the
ships at sea are all personified.

Weill, a pupil of Busoni, and a fol-
lower of Delussy, has made quite a
sensation in the Berlin opera. “The
Lindbergh Flight” will be broadcast
when performed. Friends of the flyer
say he will certainly not “listen in.”

Mary Roberts Rhinehart has a new
novel, “The Strange Adventure.” The
strange adventure, of course, is life,
and it is lived chiefly by Missie, whom
we observe through childhood, young
womanhood, wifehood, and mother-
hood. This is an earnest attempt to
uncover the deep influences that move
a woman to act this way and that,
or not act at all. . Throughout the
story Missie is the victim of circum-
stances which her own reasoning per-
mits to continue. She is a pitiful fig-
ure, worn down by generations of cor-
rect conduct, which is here amply
proved to be fatal to human character
and independence. Mrs. Rhinehart
earries the story from the days of
bustles to the present time, showing
that the victories won by the younger
generation do not apply to women who
belong to an older era, for the newer
freedom has given them merely trou-
bled minds and an uncertain existence.

The title of Joan Howell's book,
“The Cradle of the Deep,” is very fit-
ting. Joan is a girl who actually grew
up on a sailing ship, and who has told
the story of her upbringing at the
urgent request of writers who have
The re-
sult is that a brisk wind blows through
the narrative, which has been written
with vigor and dash.

heard her tell her sea tales.

Once there was a Scotchman who
went into a hotel and saw a clock on
the wall and stopped his watch.

American Students
Go to Oxford

'Chosen by Carnegie Endow-
ment Committee.

England’s most distinguished lead-
ers and statesmen will welcome the
American student delegation to the
Anglo-American University Confer-
ence to be held at Merton College, Ox-
ford, during July, according to William
Thomson, President of the British Uni-
versities League of Nations Society,
arranging the entertainment for the
visitors.

Viscount Cecil of Chelwood, and
Lord Balfour will act as Honorary
Presidents for the conference, which

will be officially presided over by stu-
dent chairmen. The reception commit-
tee includes Sir Austin Chamberlain,
Lord Eustace Percy, Lord Salisbury,
Mr. Ramsay Macdonald, Mr. Lloyd
George, and the Vice-Chancellors of all
the British Universities.

Twenty-eight American students,
two professors and the Secretary of
the International Relations Clubs, will
attend the conference as official dele-
gates. These students have been
chosen by the student division of the
Carnegie Endowment for Interna-

tional Relations Clubs in American
Universities. They will sail from New
York July 5th, and their tour will in-
clude stop-overs in London, The
Hague, Geneva and Paris. Represent-
ing American student thought, they
will confer with the English students
on problems facing the relations of
their respective nations.

Three main topics have been select-
ed for the discussion of the conference,
which are: Renunciation of War and
Arrangements for Peaceful Settlement
and Peaceful Change; Disarmament
and International Co-operation. Speak-
ers representing the two countries in
an official capacity will be called upon
for information and suggestions, but

few scheduled speeches are expected.

Jokes

“We are now passing the most fa-
mous brewery in Berlin,” said the
guide. “We are not,” shouted the
American tourist jumping off the
sightseeing bus.

Faculty Members
Present “All in
A Day's Wash”

Hilarious Comedy Excellent-
ly Played.

The comedy, “All in the Day’s
Wash,” written by Miss Louise Gold-

thorpe, member of Miss Nan Stephen’s
Atlanta class, which was presented
two weeks ago at St. Philip’s Cathe-
dral, repeated its initial success Tues-
day night in the Agnes Scott chapel.

The cast was composed of three
members of the Agnes Scott faculty
and two students.

Bridge McGinnis, Irish washer-
woman—Miss Frances Gooch, head of
dramaties.

Lizzie Laroque, Bridget’s next-door
neighbor—Miss Ruth Pirkle, of the
Biology Department.

Dan Laroque, Lizize’s husband and
inventor of Laroque’s Anti-Rust and
Ink Remover—Dr. de Jonge, acting
head of the German Department.

And two children, Patsy McGinnis,
Janet Shaw, and Oscar Laroque, Jo
Smith.

The play has a rather thin plot but
offers an excellent opportunity for
character portrayal.

The curtain rises on Blue Monday
and wash day for the McGinnis and
Laroque families. Bridget, an indus-
trious soul, gets her own wash out of
the way and then helps Lizzie, not so
fore-handed. The two work together,
Lizzie doing the rubbing and Bridget
the rinsing. Over their tubs they plan
a recommendation for Hayney’s Health
Bitters, “so bitter it turns your toes
up? en@ guaranteed to give a good ap-
petite ‘because it “tastes so bad it|
kapes you ating all day to get the
taste out.” The climax comes when
Lizzie loses her wedding ring in the
suds, a “sartin sign o’ bad luck” and
sure enough Oscar comes home with
the measles. Bridget’s ingenuity is
taxed to help her neighbor with this
problem but she proves herself equal
to the occasion.

That the play was well cast is shown
by the sympathetic interpretations of
the various roles but the two washer-
women, Miss Gooch, as Bridget—snag-
gled toothed and sadly bedrag-
gled, and Miss Pirkle as Lizzie in
faded lavendar gingham and badly
soiled apron, carried off the honors of
the evening. :

The play was coached by Miss Gooe
and Dr. de Jonge.

Dr. J. R. McCain
Returns from _
Eastern Trip

President Interviews Car-
negie Institute Committee.

Dr. McGain has recently returned
from a trip to the East where he in-
terviewed successors for Dr. Sweet,
who is to be on leave next year, and

Miss Omwake, who has been offered a
splendid position elsewhere.

While in the East Dr. McCain talk-
ed with the General Education Board,
which will meet soon to decide whether
it will contribute to the Agnes Scott
Campaign. The General Education
Board has not given many gifts lately.
If it does make an appropriation it will
be a great endorsement of the college.

In connection with the campaign, Py,
McCain interviewed the Carnegie In-
stitute, which in 1920 endowed the col-
lege with seventy-five thousand dollars
and the present library. If the Insti-
tute makes another gift, a new class
building can be started during the
summer. This building will be erected
where the old Gymnasium and Home
Economies building now stands.

Dr. McCain, on his return from the
Fast, visited Duke University, and
Wesleyan, to get suggestions from
their campus buildings for Agnes
Seott’s future improvements.

Opera Prolongs

“Ah! Heed Her!” Climax to
Brilliant Operatic Series.

The Senior class of Agnes Scott Col-

nual burlesque on grand opera May 4
at 8:30 o’clock, in the college audi-
The title is “Ah! Heed Her!”
and the theme is built around “Aida,”
which was offered by the Metropoli-
tan Grand Opera Company to Atlanta
music lovers last week.

Senior opera is given traditionally
the week after Grand Opera week in
Atlanta, and is considered to be, out-
side of the May Day performance
which takes place on the afternoon of
May 4, one of the most outstanding
events of the college calendar. The

S.LA.S. G. Meets

With Newcomb in
New Orleans

/ Stackhouse and Morgan
Represent Agnes Scott.

The S. I. A. S. G. met at Newcomb
College April 18-20. Agnes Scott was
represented at this conference by Eli-
nore Morgan and Martha Stackhouse,
who report a splendid conference and
‘a most enjoyable trip. They arrived
in New Orleans Wednesday and had
time to do a little sightseeing before
registering.

The conference officially began on
Thursday. The first speaker was Miss
Adams, Dean of Mills College, who
gave a most interesting talk on “The
Realm of Student Government.” Thurs-
day afternoon there were several dis-
cussion groups led by delegates—
“Methods of the Judicial] Board,” led
by Elinore Morgan; “The Honor Sys-
tem,” led by a girl from Florida, and
“Training Freshmen,” led by a dele-
gate from the State Teacher’s College
of Farmville, Va. Following the dis-
cussions there was an address by Miss
Terrell, Dean of Women at the Uni-
versity of Texas, on “Executiye Prob-
lems.” That night there was an en-
tertainment at Newcomb for the dele-
gates.

Friday morning Dr. McElhennon of
the department of Education at Baylor
College, Texas, where the conference
was supposed to have met, gave a talk
on the subject of “Public Opinion.”
That afternoon the delegates were
taken on a tour of the Vieux Carre,
the French section of the city, and
were entertained afterwards at a tea
frivex: Priday
night there was a formal banquet
given at Newcomb. There was much
singing and a delegate from each col-
lege was called on for an impromptu
speech. Following the banquet, there
was a talk on “Seeing Beyond College
Walls,” given by a Hollins graduate.

Saturday morning the final business
session was held and officers for next
year elected. It was also decided at
this time that the conference would
meet at North Carolina College for
Women in Greensboro, N. C., next
year. Following this there was a lunch-
eon at one of the most famous restaur-
ants in the French quarter.

The delegates were guests of Sophie
Newcomb, and brought back splendid
reports of the hospitality and courtesy
shown them while there.

PUBLICITY

This twentieth century is primarily an age of publicity. Every
producer is interested in putting his product before the consumer
in such a light as to make that consumer anxious to buy. And
consequently, “if a man can make a better mouse trap than his
neighbor, the world will make a beaten path to his door.” While
thinking along this line, it seems fitting to apply the commercial
theory to Agnes Scott, and discuss some of the factors which bring
the college and her assets before the public.

Pi Alpha Phi, assisted by the Debating Council, has done some
splendid work in this direction. The triangular debate with Ran-
dolph-Macon and Sophie Newcomb which was held annually for a
number of years established Agnes Scott’s reputation in the South
as a college whose students were able to think clearly and logically,
and to apply a keen intellect to any question. During the past two
years Agnes Scott has widened her field and her opponents in
debating have included Oxford University and Vassar College.

Blackfriars has been no less instrumental in establishing
Agnes Scott’s reputation. The plays which that organization pre-

sents during the year are attended by numbers of people outside
the college community and have made Blackfriars known through-
out Atlanta as a dramatic club which stands for the highest in the
legitimate drama. The award of the Samuel French prize to a play

which was the work of an Agnes Scott alumna, and presented by a
cast of Blackfriars, was a signal honor, and one which brought to
the college much favorable comment.

Few people realize the work which K, U. B. does in furnishing
the college with desirable publicity. The columns which appear
in the daily newspapers in Atlanta and form the medium of con-
tact between Agnes Scott and a large part of the public, are the
work of members of that club, and the result of untiring effort
on their part.

The publications do much to create an impression of Agnes
Scott in the collegiate world. The Aurora selects the best of the
literary work which is done in the classrooms and the various
literary clubs, and brings it before the public. The Agonistic, as
has been previously stated in this column, endeavors to bring the
world to the campus, and the campus to the world—to present an
accurate picture of Agnes Scott’s activities and opinions.

Few occasions of the school year arouse as much interest in
Agnes Scott off the campus as May Day. The May Day Festival
reveals a unique phase of college life, and one which only at that
time is brought to the attention of the general public. It displays
beauty of form and rhythm and color against a world made lovely
by spring, and forms an impression of Agnes Scott which few
people can forget.

But the most effective, the most lasting publicity is personal.
Agnes Scott, in the minds of many people, is not her Phi Beta
Kappa chapter, or her May Day, or her debating team, but her
girls. The responsibility of creating public opinion rests with
them, and when Agnes Scott has done her utmost to add to their
faith virtue, and to their virtue knowledge, she can do no more,
but must trust her reputation to the integrity and driving force of
their personal character. Bearing this in mind, they must surely

realize that slurring comment on their part, violation of the
spirit or the letter of her standards, and irreverence for her tradi-

tions are disloyalty. This is an old emphasis, but it is indispens-
able, and just now we may as well get back to it.

Y. W. C. A..

Following is the talk on “Books,”
made by Alice Jernigan at the Ves-
per service Sunday, April 28:
“Books, what a jolly company they
are,

Standing so quiet and patient on their
shelves

Dressed in dim brown, and black, and
white, and green,

And every kind of color.
you read?

Come on. Oh, do read something;
they’re so wise.

I tell you, all the wisdom of the world

Is waiting for you on those shelves.”

Which will

There is very little I- -or anyone else
—can tell you about books. You have
all been acquainted with them since
the days when Mother Goose rimes
were for you the height of literary
achievement, and Miss Muffet’s adven-
ture with the spider was the most
thrilling of experiences. Your fancy
passed then, perhaps, to Mother West
Wind with her bag full of little
breezes, and Grandfather Frog, placid-
ly sitting all day long on a lily pad in
the Smiling Pond. At this point, prob-
ably, your tastes diverged, some of
you preferring to weep over Elsie
Dinsmore, while others accompanied
the Rover Boys and Tom Sawyer on
their marvelous adventures. No doubt
many of the most vivid impressions
of your childhood which remain with
you concern the books you read—or
which someone else read to you—
“Pollvanna,” “Ivanhoe,” “The Secret
Garden,” and I hope, “The Little
Colonel.”

Now that your “salad days” are al-
moszt over, perhaps you have come to
wonder at the reasons why you read.
The motives which lie behind the read-
ing of books, it seems to me, are these:

First, to become acquainted with
people. How many of you know any-
one in real life more delightful than
the Vicar of Wakefield, or the Little
Minister? Can you ever forget Uncle
Valentine and Aunt Jenepher of “Des-
tiny Bay,” or the three gallant, dash-
ing Musketeers? There are so many
others—Jo of “Little Women,” Peter
Pan, the Wife of Bath, Sara Crewe,
and Christopher Robin. Books are
peopled with vivid folk, and I like
to think I keep them like a com-
pany of old friends, in my heart. Of
that company John Ruskin says: “Into
it you may enter always, in that you
may take fellowship and rank accord-
ing to your wish; from it, once entered
into, you can never be outcast but by
your own fault; by your aristocracy of
companionship there, your own inher-
ent aristocracy will be assuredly test-
ed.”

And Browning makes his Cleon say:

“T have not chanted verse like Homer,
no—

Nor swept string like Terpander, no—
nor carved

And painted men like Phidias and his
friend;

I am not great as they are, point by
point.

But I have entered into sympathy

With these four, running these into
one soul,

Who, separate, ignored each other’s
art,

Say, is it nothing that I know them
all?”

The second desire which motivates

ireading is one for broader latitudes.

How many miles we travel in our
books!—through the “peace and holy
quiet” of Rupert Brooke’s England,
through Donn Byrne’s Ireland and
Barrie’s Scotland, through Marco
Polo’s Venice and China, and Kipling’s
India. How many of you have felt the
enchantment of their names—

Athens like a white flower

Tunis like a red,

Venice like a veiled bride

For all the world to wed;

A tall town with a tall tower,

Pointed like a star—

Oh, the singing sweep of the
curved scimitar!

Rome, Rome, Rome,
On hills that are seven,
Deeper than Hell,
Higher than Heaven,
Perished Moscow

And dark Stamboul;
Four gates Damascus,

Four walls, Zion,
And a sea-girt fortress
With a small stern lion.
Oh, the flaming cities—
Yucatan— ;
and Cadiz—
and golden Samarkand!

Truly the magic of places lies in
books.

Finally, I think we read for solace
and strengthening, for depth of under-
standing. Books transmute experience,
crystallize emotion, and draw strength
and color and character from life.

Let us think now of the books we
may read—the old and the new, the
good and the bad. They are all at
your choice; and life is short. “Do
you know that if you read this, you
cannot read that?” So Ruskin states
the vast problem of deciding what to
read.

Carl Sandburg says that for every
book-lover there will be a few old
masterpieces to which he will always
remain faithful. They are the books
which are essential to an individual.
But there are minor kinds of reading
which we must all do, more or less. We
read for efficiency—for specialization
——but if a man uses books only so, as
a Pharaoh might use his slaves to build
a pyramid, he does not know what
real reading is. We read, to keep up
the times, an endless stream of period-
icals which reflect every change of our |
modern life.

And finally, driven by social come
pulsion, we read the books that are
talked about, just because they are

|

Yet so continuously reading, many
of the great old books—the masters,
not the slaves—are crowded out. Few
think of saying, as did Charles Lamb,
that we should like to say grace over
our books.

Thinking of the old masters, im-
mediately come the names of Shake-
speare, Chaucer, Milton; Thackeray
and Dickens and Scott; Shelley, Keats,
Wordsworth, and Browning; Lamb and
Ruskin and Pater. And even this list
includes only the English writers—
nd we have forgotten Hugo and Dante
and Tolstoy and Cervantes. The shame
of many of us is that with such books
waiting to be read, we stop to barter
gossip with any printed vagabond who
comes our way.

talked about.

of biography which is growing up. To
this group belong Emil Ludwig’s
“Napoleon,” Lytton Strachey’s “Queen
Victoria,” and “Elizabeth and Essex,”
Maurois’ “Ariel and Disraeli,” and
Carl Sandburg’s “The Prairie Years.”

Among the twentieth century novels
we find such books as DuBose Hey-
ward’s “Porgy,” Anne Douglas Sedg-
wick’s “The Little French Girl” and
“Dark Hester,” “The Bridge of San
Luis Rey,” “Death Comes for the
Archbishop,” John Galsworthy’s
“Forsyte Saga,” and Hugh Walpole’s
novels of England.

Among the books which the lists of
best sellers classify as non-fiction
comes Kahlil Gibran’s superb “Jesus,
the Son of Man,” and likewise “The
Prophet,” in which the best-loved pas-
sage, I think, concerns friendship;

“Your friend is your needs answered.

“You come to him with your hunger,
and you seek him for peace.

“When you part from your friend,
you grieve not;

“For that which you love most in
him may be clearer in his absence, as
the mountain to the climber is clearer
from the plain.

“And let there be no purpose in
friendship save the deepening of the
spirit.

“And let your best be for your
friend.

“Tf he must know the ebb of your

\tide, let him know its flood also.

“Seek him always with hours to
live,

“For it is to fill your need, and not
your emptiness.”

In this catalogue belong Christopher
Morley’s whimsical essays, and his
“Translations from the Chinese,” and
the more serious books like “This Be-
lieving World” and “The Story of
Philosophy.”

Contemporary life, it seems to me,
is mirrored most clearly and surely in
the work of a group of modern poets.
Here I should include Robert Frost for
his characterized and localized poems,
Edwin Arlington Robinson for the
searching philosophy of “The Man
Against the Sky,” Carl Sandburg for
his understanding of America, Stephen
Benet for “John Brown’s Body,” that
superb epic of the Civil War, and Edna
St. Vincent Millay for “Renaseence,”
which voices so much of the attitude of
a young person toward God and great-

These are the great old books which
ness

j
will always be read. You know their
range and value—and you must re-
member that if you do not read the
best books first, you'll probably never
find time for them.

Perhaps it has been difficult for you
to keep up with current literature. It
seems to me that many people are
inclined to underestimate the worth of
much that is ‘being written in this
twentieth century. They are allowing
the poetic spasms of people like T, S.
Eliot and Edith Sitwell to obscure for
them the excellence of men like Robert
Frost and Edwin Arlington Robinson.
They are blinded to the greatness of
Hugh Walpole and John Galsworthy
by the Aldous Huxley-Sherwood An-
derson sort of thing that has become
popular with the young literary radi-
cals.

What plays are worth reading?
Surely Barrie and Shaw and Gals-
worthy and the Irish dramatists. Per-
haps I should include the two of Edna
St. Vincent Millay’s which are dear to
so many of you—“The King’s Hench-
man,” and “The Lamp and the Bell.”

A contemporary literary movement
of extreme interest is the new school

“God, I can push the grass apart

And lay my finger on Thy heart!

The world stands out on either side

No wider than the heart is wide;

Above the world is stretched the
sky,—

No higher than the soul is high.

The heart can push the sea and land

Further away on either hand;

The soul can split the sky in two,

And let the face of God shine through,

But East and West wil! pinch the heart

That cannot keep them pushed apart;

And he whose soul is flat—the sky

Will cave in on him by and by.”

Having taken this brief glance at
contemporary movements in prose and
poetry, it remains for us to discuss
briefly the difference' between good
books and bad. The realist school,
urged on with great gusto by such men
as Mr. H. L. Mencken, have dragged
from the low places a literature of
stark realism which goes to any ex-
tent to present the coarsest and crudes
aspects of modern life. It is nonsense

SYNOPSIS FOR MAY DAY |
PARIS AND THE GOLDEN APPLE
By Laura Brown
Episode I
Secene—A glen at the foot of Mt.

Ida,

The new day is welcomed in by the
Morning Mists who make the earth
fair for Oenone, a wood nymph, dwel-
ling in the forest with her green-clad
followers. Soon came the shepherds
who have among their number Paris,
a young sun-god. Oenone is immediate-
ly charmed with the appearance of
Paris and laughingly dances with him. |
She is saddened, however, by his de-
pature as he-is lured away by the |
three goddesses, Paleus, Hera, Aphro-
dite, who led by Hermes, are on their
way to the wedding of Thetis and

Peleus. Left alone Oenone mourns
her despair.
Episode II

Scene—The vale of Hymenaeus, God
of Marriage.

The wedding procession of Thetis
and Peleus approaches to engage in
ritual and ceremony. ‘Thetis dances
for Peleus who claims her and leads
hex to watch the celebrations follow-
ing. They are entertained by the at-
tendants who dance with palms, by
Iris, Goddess of the Rainbow, and her
Rainbow Nymphs, and by the Sea
Nymphs, followers of Thetis. All is
joy and merriment when suddenly
from out of the forest comes Eris,
Goddess of Discord. Enraged that she
was not invited to the wedding, she
comes to frighten all with her mad-
dened dances. As she finally rushes
from the vale, she casts before Peleus
a golden apple inscribed, “For the
Fairest.” Each goddess clamors for it
as her just possession but Peleus de-
clares that Paris is to decide to whom,
as the fairest, it shall go. The de-
cision is to be rendered on Mt. Ida
whither all repair for the contest.

Episode III

Scene—Same as Episode I.

The Wood Nymphs and Shepherds
are seen dancing in the glen as
the procession enters, this time eager
for the coming events. Pallas, the
first contestant, dances with her War
Maidens. She attempts to bribe Paris
with wisdom and fame, symbolized in
her golden diadem. Next Hera dances
with her sacred peacocks and promises
wealth and power to Paris. He is
greatly charmed but soon forgets Hera
in watching Aphrodite who comes with
her Three Graces. She promises to
obtain for Paris the most beautiful
bride in the world, Helen. Paris awards
the apple to her while the Graces bring
Helen upon the scene. Paris is cap-
tivated. He dances with Helen and all
make merry as the two lead the pro-
cession happily off to further adven-
tures.

Marked By Variety

Many Prominent Hottentots
Have Taken Part.

May Day has always been one of
the outstanding events of the Agnes
Seott calendar. The present writer
has vivid recollections of coming at
an early age to watch the Hottentots
disport themselves on the green. Many
and varied have been the types of
scenarios danced. Some of the lovye-
liest have been: “Cupid and Psyche,”
“Proserpine,” “Pandora,” “Hiawatha,”
“Robin Hood.” Of recent years two
national May Days, both by Carolyn
Essig, were put on with great success.
“Endymion,” by Evelyn Wood, was
danced two years ago.

Many famous people have taken
part in May Day. Our own Miss Wil-
burn danced several leading roles.
Other outstanding dancers have been
Lucy Durr, Ruth Keiser, Gene Dozier,
Virginia Sevier.

It is interesting to note that the
music to which the queen and her
court will enter is the work of Mr.
Dieckmann. It has been published and
is dedicated to Miss Hopkins. Many
May Queens have marched to it in
the past and it is said to be very
lovely.

THE AGONISTIC

Mr. Stukes Attends {Miss Torrance

P. B. K. Installation

Chapter Established at Uni-
versity of Richmond.

Mr. Stukes attended the Phi Beta
Kappa Installation at the University
of Richmond April the twelfth as a
delegate from our chapter. Mr. Ray-
mond Fosdick, prominent New York
lawyer and Phi Beta Kappa senator,
presided over the exercises. A large
number of representatives from chap-
ters throughout the country were pres-
ent and the ceremonies were unusual-
ly impressive. This university is one
of several recognized lately by the
Association, a chapter having been re-
cently installed at Emory.

Daisy Frances Smith
Visits Agnes Scott

Former Student and Teacher
Returns.

Daisy Frances Smith, former Hot-
tentot, and teacher at Agnes Scott, has
been visiting on the campus for sev-
eral days. She has been teaching for
the past year in the English Depart-
ment at Andrew College, in Cuthbert,
Georgia.

During her days at Agnes Scott
Miss Smith was a prominent figure in
campus activities. She was a mem-
ber of Blackfriars and other clubs,
and of Hoase and as a debater held
the rather unusual record of winning
every debate in which she took part
during the four years she was a stu-
dent here. She also holds the school
record in the javelin throw.

Exchanges

The women ier of the Uni-
versity of Georgia are showing a com-
mendable spirit of progress in their
recent effort to throw off the masque.
They have announced that they will
no longer be called a “Student Govern-
ment Association” unless the faculty
will allow them to be in reality a stu-
dent government.

As their so-called “student” govern-
ment has been up to the present, it
has been merely a committee of stu-
dents to help the faculty find out and
punish co-eds who break the rules.
They have said that the students made
the rules, whereas in reality the stu-
dents did not even know what the
rules were until they had broken one,
when they were told that the chan-
cellor, the dean, the house-mothers,
or somebody had made a rule against
it.

The effort at reform now being made
by the women is the effort to have a
real government by the women them-
selves.

It is their united opinion, with only
one dissenting vote, that if the faculty
refuses to approve their revised con-
stitution giving them a real student
government, the present so-called stu-
dent government association shall no
longer exist. The men’s student gov-
ernment went the way of all flesh a
few years ago, voting itself out of
existence. The women are going to
do likewise, if they cannot be trusted
to make their own laws and super-
vise their own punishments.

Student government is a fine thing
for any university, if it can be made
what its name implies. Otherwise, it
is a fine thing to do away with.—The
Red and Black.

Plans for Latin Tournament

And Miss Smith
Attend G. C. A.

Discussed.

Miss Catharine Torrance and Miss
Lillian Smith, of the Latin Depart-
ment attended the convention of the
Georgia Classical Association, which
was held at Savannah April 19-20. The
principal speaker was Dr. Ralph Ma-
goffin, head of the Classical Depart-
ment of New York University. An-
other interesting feature of the pro-
gram was the sponsoring of the state-
wide tournament for high school Latin

students. The Atlanta Journal is to

The student council of Louisiana

require a pledge from the students
that they will not cut the hair from

“Randolph-Macon Verse” Ready for
Distribution

Almost a year ago, an entirely dis-
interested person, who had read some
of the poetry written in recent years
by Randolph-Macon students, propose
a collection of Randolph-Macon verse.
For a year this proposition has been
gradually taking form until now the
dream of a R.-M. anthology has been
realized. The book will be ready for
distribution soon, and will appear in a
lovely binding of green and silver.—

University of Toulouse. She is one of
eighteen graduates of American col-
leges and universities who have been
selected to represent the youth of
America at the French universities
next year.
Miss Cheatham has been a member of
the College instructional staff, having
previously spent two years teaching
in the Athens (Georgia) High School.

Marguerite Gerard from the Pen-
sionnat la Providence was selected last
summer by the Office National des
Universites et Ecoles Francaises in
Paris and the Institute of Interna-
tional Education in New York, to ac-
cept the generous invitation extended
by President McCain for a French girl
to enjoy the hospitality and facilities
of Agnes Scott College as an exchange
student. She has been there all this
year and has been very happy in her

d| work and in the congenial social at-
| mosphere of the College.

During the school year 1924-25
Vivian Little of the class of 1924 who
is now instructing in French at the
College, was in France on a Franco-
American scholarship at the Lycee
Victor Duruy in Paris. While there
she also studied at the Sorbonne.

Two hundred and eleven graduate
students this year engaged
vanced study in American colleges and
universities and in foreign universi-
ties on the exchange fellowships and
other foreign study opportunities ad-
ministered by the Institute of Inter-
national Education. The fundamental
idea behind these foreign study op-
portunities for American students is
to make it possible for America to
broaden her horizon and to promote
international goodwill through a better
mutual understanding between the
United States and foreign countries.
That the furtherance of this ideal is
being realized is clearly manifest in
the activities of those who have re-
turned after an enjoyment of these op-

portunities and the increasing breadth
of vision and of interest in interna-

Hoase and
Institute to
Hold Reunions

Commencement Marked by
Return of Alumnae.

Besides the class reunions this year
at commencement, there will be two
other gatherings of Agnes Scott grad-
uates. Hoasec members of former years
will join those of the present in cele-
brating their return. There will be a
formal luncheon for active and alum-
nae members and trustees, two busi-
| hess meetings, formal and informal,
and a tea given by the active members
for their elder sisters.. A large crowd
‘is anticipated.

Those who learned reading and writ-
ing and ’rithmetic here in the days of
the Institute before greater Agnes
Scott had entered anyone’s dreams
have been invited to return and act as
one of the regular classes. They will
sit together at the alumnae luncheon
and at the alumnae frolic will furnish
features in appropriate costume de-
ipecting some of their life here. Not
only will the girls of Institute days
take part in vespers, but also will have
a luncheon of their own.

ant was drunk?

Class Vespers to
Begin May 5

Seniors to Lead on Last
Sunday.

It is hard to realize that there will
be only four more Y. W. Vesper serv-
ices before the school year 1928-29
closes. As is the custom these serv-
ices are conducted in turn by the
four classes, the last Sunday belong-
ing to the Seniors.

The Cabinet has chosen as the sub-
ject for the first three of these serv-
ices “What Is There in Religion?”
This is not meant to be any one per-
son’s dogmatic assertion, but rather
lto serve as a challenge to thought. If
every girl here would really ask her-
self what religion is actually meaning
to her individually, the purpose of the
services would be more than realized.

The division will be as follows:

May 5, Sophomores—Reality—Ellen
Davis.

May 12, Freshmen—Power—Sara
Lane Smith.

May 19, Juniors—Revelation—Mar-
garet Ogden.

The latest educational venture in
Southern California is a “commuters’
school.” Several educational institu-
tions in that region have combined to
offer courses to suburbanites for study
while traveling to and from their work.
The next logical step in this direction
is the institution of college professors
as conductors on these trains.—The
Daily Maroon, Chicago.

Darling,

There’s just so much excitement this
week over May Day and Senior Opera
we can’t think about anything else—
or most of us can’t. That’s not includ-
ing Olive Spencer though; her Nelson
has come, and Olive just forgot all
those rehearsals she was sposed to run.
So poor Merritt is worried to death for
fear the dance won’t go all right and
Speck won’t think it’s cute. Every-
body’s loves are coming, in fact it's
quite a big event. It ought to be, after
those lovely pictures in the Sunday
paper. The one of Charlotte with that
light fur around her face was enough
to make all the schools turn out, *cept
I heard Emory was doing enough to
make up for other schools and places,

Polly Irvine said she’d decided
Emory just could hold a candle to
Florida University. His name is
Jimmy, and he sings divinely—so
divinely, in fact, that she can’t get in-
terested in going home in a month.
A lot of people are in that same fix,
I hear. But Elise Roberts says she’s
rather looking forward to the 28th—
she’s gotten resigned to her fate, but
said she had a néw hat she would like
to get to wear. And another thiug
bad about this year being over, Giddy
—<did you know Miss Florine isn’t
going to be back. Oh, no, she’s not
going to do anything, but she showed
Frances Buchanan, who was up here
this week-end, some mighty gorgeous

Hottentots Honored

We have reason to be proud of three
of our former Hottetots. Betty Bush,
ex ‘29, has been studying at the Uni-
versity of Michigan for the past two
years, and during that time has ac-
quired membership in an honor so-
ciety which corresponds to our Hoase,
a Phi Beta Kappa key, and an engage-
ment ring.

Mary Gregory, of Decatur, and Pat
Rogers, of Atlanta, formerly of the
class of ’30, have been chosen by John
Gilbert, noted screen star, as among
the seven most beautiful girls from
the forty whose pictures were sub-
mitted for the beauty section of the

Pandora, the annual publication of the
University of Georgia. Both are stu-
dents in the School of Journalism at

i

new clothes. Of course they don’t
mean anything, but Mary Ficklen is
doing the same thing, and so is Aileen
Moore, and some other people I’m not
supposed to mention.

Belle Ward is thrilled to death,
though, over going to North Carolina
again. I heard a very good explan-
ation of why, too. She got a radio-
gram the other night. Scared her so
bad—she thought surely the house had
burned up, or the family jewelry got
stolen—but no—’twas only from her
Johnny, telling her he missed her and
still loved her, even if he had heard
she was engaged—but please don’t
mention that Giddy—she doesn’t want
it out. But people should never men-
tion things they don’t want out, I’m
thinking now, darling, of those people
who were not quite willing to admit
they didn’t get all out of opera they
meant to. And those that didn’t fit
must get wise child to do a little in-
terpreting for them—a Ponselle, Bast-
man, Bori, Gigli, Libbit and Ballet (the
latter is not a French singer, Giddy)
all rolled in one, is a rarity one
should not miss.

And remember, Love, don’t miss
May Day either—see our beauties,
and you will never again fail to use
Pond’s cold ¢ream—or take gym.

Yours for greater American beau-
ties.

Aggie.

An unpublished manuscript by Alex-
ander Dumas, the story of his adven-
turous: Italian journey in 1860, in his
yacht, Emma, has been discovered,
and the book will be published in the
fall under the title “On Board the
Emma.” The manuscript, which is
50,000 words long, is reported to be
entirely in Dumas’ handwriting, most
of it beautifully legibie, but some of
it bearing witness to the fact that it
was written on board a yatch pitching
and tossing in a stormy sea.

A book club of a different sort is the
newly organized Limited Edition
Club, which will distribute to its sub-
seribers each year twelve books dis-
tinguished by fine printing and beauti-
ful binding. The first years books will
be exclusively American, the work of

the University, and members of the| American printers, designers and il-
Chi Omega Sorority, Pat having been |lustrators. For the second year, books

president of the chapter during the
past year.

The Poetry Club held tryouts last
week. Helen Friedman and Theresa
Barksdale offered delightful bits of
fantasy and have been taken into the
club. The poems, which were read be-
fore the club Monday night, were par-
ticularly interesting and ciever.

Of the most outstanding recent
books Francis Hackett’s “Henry the
Highth” is probably the most popular.
Most of us have been inclined to place
Henry in a sort of ribald setting. We
find it hard to take seriously a man so
matrimonially inclined. It seems he
must have had, in spite of his divine
aura of kingship, his tongue in his
cheek and an English twinkle in his
eye. One should not be disappointed
that Mr. Hackett completely punctures
this fairly common view of Henry as
somewhat of a light-hearted Blue-
beard. For he substitutes a far more
arresting portrait—of a complex per-
sonality, a full-blooded bull-headed
dynast, who was keen enough to know
what he wanted and who made no
bones about getting it, no matter what
the means. Consistency was no kingly
jewel to Henry; and yet not the least
delightful bits of Mr. Hackett’s study

jare the rationalizations that he shows

Henry spinning—not merely to justify,
but frequently to hallow, almost every
wicked thing he ever did. Yet the com-
mon notion of Henry is essentially
true in one respect: his wives remain
the central fact of his life. He was a
man before he was a king. Mr. Hackett
recognizes this, and it is what makes
his book so readable.

THE AGONISTIC

Y. W. GC. A.
(Continued from Page 2)
to suppose that books of this type by

teaching a lesson are helping to|

cleanse contemporary morals, They
certainly were not written with any
such altruistic motive. Constantly they
ery out, “Look down, look down!” Isn’t
a turning toward the stars, an upward
gaze, much better? Robert Louis
Stevenson once said, “I believe in an
ultimate decency of things; aye, and if
I woke in hell, should still believe in
it.”

It is respect for this ultimate de-
cency of things which marks the best
books. There is a permanence to
values; love and friendship and cour-
age and serenity remain, and while
books preserve the highest of the
eternal verities they are worthwhile.
Some of them leave

“a white
Unbroken glory, a gathered radiance,
A width, a shining peace.”

The “Bridge of San Luis Rey” is
such a book.

“We ourselves shall be loved for a
while and forgotten, but the love will
have been enough; all those impulses
of love return to the love that made
them. Even memory is not necessary
for love. There is a land of the living
and a land of the dead, and the bridge
is love, the only survival, the only
meaning.”

Another is Maristan Chapman’s
“The Happy Mountain,” from which
T have chosen this;

“The days fly over—tly over and are
gone like redbirds moving south. One
day and the next and the day after
that; and where are we going, and
why do we live? But no matter how
fast we move, the days yet fly over
faster, Every time a day goes I feel
like I could cry out with pain, want-
ing to tell the sun to stop.”

And a third is Rostand’s “Cyrano de
Bergerac.” For many persons Cyrano
has become the personification of cour-
age and gallantry—Cryano who says:

“T carry my adornments on my soul,

I do not. dress up like a popinjay;

But inwardly, I keep my daintiness.

I do not bear with me, by any chance,

An insult not yet washed away—a
conscience

Yellow with unpurged bile—an honor
frayed

To rags, a set of scruples badly worn.

I go caparisoned in gems unseen,

Trailing white plumes of freedom,

garlanded

With my good name—no figure of a
man,

But a soul clothed in shining armor,
hung

With deeds for decoration, twirling—
thus—

A bristling wit, and swinging at my
side

Courage, and on the stones of this old
town

Making the sharp truth ring, like
golden spurs.”

—Cyrano who dies with these words:

“Yes, all my laurels-you have riven
away

And all my roses; yet in spite of you,

There is one crown I bear away with
me,

And tonight, when I enter before God,

My salute shall sweep all the stars
away

From the blue threshold!
without stain,

Unspotted from the world, in spite of
doom

Mine own!—my white plume . .

One thing

”

“T read a book last week.

The author dipped his facile pen in fire

And seared raw facts of life into my
brain.

Up from the mire he dragged dark
truth

And flaunted it. He made all youth

Abnormal, all love lust, and God a jest,

And as I read, I knew his soul was
warped;

His mind must know despair; thinking
all truth

Was ugliness laid bare.

“And then I read another book.

The author sat upon the very throne of
Truth

And used a pen far mightier than a
sword.

He wrote of Youth triumphant, clean

| The Honor System

The honor system is an arrangement
in a school or college whereby the in-
tegrity of the student is wholly relied
on in the taking of examinations, ex-
tant in several leading southern col-
leges, including the University of Vir-
ginia, Emory, and Washington and
Lee, while in other leading southern
schools it has been tried but not found
successful,

However, the fact that an honor sys-
tem exists is not proof altogether that
it is successful. . Students from insti-
tutions where this system is employed,
of course, maintain and uphold
value.

its
If they did not it would be a
reflection on their honesty and integ-
rity. But it seems an imposition on
one’s credulity to think that the honor
system, in southern schools where the
general run of students does not great-
ly differ, proves successful at one col-
lege and not a success in another. It
is believed that students and faculty
alike in the honor system schools base
their arguments on a blind foundation
of complacency.

With the increasing tendency toward
agnosticism and carefreeness in stu-
dent ranks of the southern college to-
day, it is doubted that they have the
honest sincerity of heart and mind to
actually make an honor system work
to a very great degree of success. With
the thought of a free vein on exam-
inations a student many times would
perhaps loaf through the term and on
finals, with outside assistance, man-
age to make a passing grade. Such an
easy life in college undoubtedly ap-
peals to many students. And another
deplorable fact is that many of tomor-
row’s men of the world attend college
with only the idea of an existence of
indolence and having a good time.
Students of the like would not uphold
an honor system. Seeing that they
could remain in school with little or
no work and pass on final examina-
tions by cheating, would be a veritable
paradise for that type of student with-
out the slightest blot on his so-called
conscience. And the fact that present
day students coneede the fact that a
conscience is somewhat obsolete, is an-
other reason for the failure of the
honor system.

A student body with ideas based on
agnosticism, carefreeness, indolence,
and a will to have a good time of
course uphold the honor system and
with exceptions to every rule granted,
it can readily be seen that such a case
is detrimental to a college, as well as

CUSTOM OF MAY DAY
HAS EARLY ORIGIN
(Continued from Page 3)

of joy and merriment. By a natural
transition of ideas they gave the haw-
thorn bloom the name “the May”; they
called the ceremony “bringing home
the May.” The fairest maid of the
village was crowned with flowers as
“queen of the may” and placed in little
arbor or bower, where she sat in state,
receiving the homage and admiration
of the youthful revellers, who danced
and sang around her. This custom of
having a May Queen seems a relic of
the old Roman celebration of the day
when the goddess Flora was special-
ly worshipped.

How thoroughly recognized the cus-
tom had become in England may be
illustrated by the fact that in the reign
of Henry VIII the heads of the corp-
oration of London went out into the
high grounds of Kent to gather the
May—the King and his Queen coming
from their palace at Greenwich, and
meeting these respected dignitaries.

But perhaps the most conspicuous
feature of these festive proceedings
was the erection in every town and vil-
lage of a May-pole on which, on May
morning, were suspended wreaths of
flowers, and around which people
danced in rings nearly the entire day.

With the season were associated
theatrical performances, frequently of
a comic nature. In England the story
of Robin Hood was connected with the
May games, and the personages of his
cycle were introduced into the per-
formances of costumed or masked act-
ors, called Morris dancers.

Customs analogous to May Day are
widespread, in America as well as in
Europe, The naturalistic basis of the
eustom is joy in the spring; hence
comes the character of the songs and
dances.

MAY DAY OCCASION

Charlotte Hunter Reigns as. Sara Carter to Read |

May Queen—Music Com-!
posed by Mr. Dieckmann.

The fifteenth annual celebration
of May Day at “Agnes Scott took
place Saturday, May 4, in the May
Day Dell.
excites much interest in Atlanta and
Decatur, and the number of spectators
was unusually large.

The occasion is one which

First to appear was the court of the
Queen, Charlotte Hunter, who wore a
period frock of white moire, trimmed
with lace.
in pastel shades of chiffon.

The scenario, “Paris and the Golden
Apple,” was written by Laura Brown,
of the Sophomore class.

The scene opened in a glen at the
foot of Mt. Ida, where the new day
was welcomed in by the
Mists. They made the earth fair for
Oenone, a wood nymph. Hazel Wolfle
as Oenone did some remarkably fine
dancing. Soon the shepherds appeared
with Paris number.
Charmed with the appearance of Paris,
Oenone danced with him, but was soon
saddened by his departure as he was
lured away by Pallas, Hera, and Aph-
rodite, who, led by Hermes, were on
their way to the wedding of Thetis and
Peleus,

The second episode took place in the
vale of Hymenaeus, god of marriage,
The wedding procession of Thetis and
Peleus approached to engage in ritual
and ceremony. They were entertain-
ed by the attendants dancing with
palms, by Iris, and her Rainbow
Nymphs, and by the Sea Nymphs. The
dance of the latter was one of the
most beautiful in the whole perform-
ance. Suddenly out of the forest came
Eris, Goddess of Discord, enraged that
she was not invited to the wedding.
This was the high moment of the
drama, and Margaret MecCoy’s dra-
matic and dancing ability was at its
best, As Eris rushed from the yale,
she east before Peleus a golden apple
inscribed “For the fairest.” Each god-
dess clamored for it as her just pos-
session, but Peleus declared that Paris
must decide to whom, as the fairest, it
should go. The decision was to be
rendered on Mt. Ida,

In the last episode, the procession
entered for the contest. Pallas, the
first contestant, danced with her war-
maidens, attempting to bribe Paris
with wisdom and fame. Next Hera
danced with her sacred peacocks and
promised him wealth and power.
Though greatly charmed, Paris soon
forgot Hera in watching Aphrodite
and her Three Graces. This, in the
minds of many, was the most grace-
ful and beautiful dance of the after-
noon. Aphrodite, promising to obtain
for Paris the most beautiful bride in
the world, was awarded the apple
while the Graces brought Helen upon
the scene. Paris, captivated at once,
danced with Helen and all made merry
as the two led the procession happily
off to further adventures.

Outstanding features of May Day
were the harmonious costumes, the un-
usually well-chosen cast, and the
music, written for the occasion by Mr,
C. W. Dieckmann.

Dr. McCain Thanks
Faculty and Students

Editor of Agonistic:

In our Campaign for $1,500,00, we
have had many bright spots and some
dark ones; but the very brightest still
is the splendid showing of the Faculty
and Students on the campus. Nothing
else has so thrilled Alumnae, Trustees,
friends, and even those who are almost
strangers. The best piece of campaign
literature is the picture which we took
on November 22nd and which shows
the College community just after it
had subscribed one hundred per cent
to the Campaign, reaching the fine
total of more than $80,000.

Once again I want to thank every-
one. who had a part in this remarkable
achievement and to express apprecia-
tion also of the many who are making
sacrifices to pay promptly their sub-
scriptions.

Cordially,
J. R. McCAIN.

New Executive
Members Installed

Elinore Morgan Retires
from Presidency.
Among the memorable occasions of

the year was the installation of the
new members of the Executive Com-
mittee for 1929-1930, which took place
in the chapel Tuesday night.

Members of the old and new com-
mittees entered in procession. Elinore
Morgan retiring President of Student
Government, spoke as follows:

“The less said about beginning and
endings, the better, but as this year
draws to a close and the time has
come for the old Exec. to pass on to
the new Exec. the trust which you
placed in us, there are a few things
which really seem to want to be said.

First of all, you remember that last
spring at this time we asked for your
whole-hearted support and co-oper-
ation in whatever we should do in your
name. Now, in the name of the Execu-
tive Committee for 1928-29, I want to
thank you for the way you have stood
by us, and for the spirit you have
showed.

And yet, through it all, there has
been a lack, or a bar or something
which has set us apart from you,
and kept us there. This something has
been felt by many on Exec., but this
year we have tride to work through
this lack, and keep in touch with you
as friends, rather than as Exec. mem-
bers. It has been a hard thing to de:

Senior Opera Shows Liter-
ary, Dramatic and Musical
Ability.

For the benefit of those in Atlanta,
Deeatur, Agnes Scott, and elsewhere
who were unable to hear “Aida” as
presented by the Metropolitan Opera
Company, the Seniorpolitan Company
presented its own version of the
famous opera Saturday night, May
4, in the Bucher Scott Auditorium to
a large audience of music lovers. This
version was called “Ah! Heed Her!”
and was acclaimed by all (all who like
that sort of thing) to be far superior
to the original in melody, voices and
ballets.

Act I opened in the throne room of
one of those Egyptian palaces. Five
priestesses of Isis danced in honor of
their Sun God. This was most ef-
fective, with the lights dimmed, and a
full moon shining on the distant Nile
(so far distant, in fact, that it was
well-nigh invisible). The whole world
seems breathless, waiting for the love
scene between our heroine, the fair
See Less (Pernette Adams) and her
latest flame, Pat. Remedies (Ethel
Freeland). And everyone, singers in-
cluded, was breathless by the time their
love had been expressed to the satis-

terrupted by the arrival of King Toot

father, and his court of warriors. At
this point came a dance by a group of
Ethiopian flunkies and a tap dance by
Topsy or one of the Gold-Dust twins.

Remedies was informed that his duty
to his country compelled him to go
and fight the Ethiopians who had
dared to try to steal the royal croco-
dile tears. Alas for poor Remedies!
See Less confessed that she was one of
the hated Ethiopes and he must go
fight her father, the king of the rebels.
On this sad note ended Act I.

As the curtain went up on Act II, it
disclosed the villainous Princess re-
vealing to her court her desperate
crush on Remedies, the handsome
brute. To change the subject from
these sad thoughts, her

a solo dance by Fatima. But the

by her father, who, disguised, had
come to spy out the place where the
crocodile tears were kept. He got all
hot and bothered and compelled See
Less to vamp the secret out of Reme-
dies. After a very dramatic scene,
Remedies revealed the fact that the
sacred tears were kept in the dust of
the pyramids. Out rushed Amnesia
with a triumphant shout and sum-
moned the guards to throw Pat. into
the dungeon. Remedies realized that
he had made a horrible mistake and
was carried off to prison expressing
his distrust of women in no uncertain

EDITORIAL

THE ENDOWMENT FUND

This issue of the Agonistic carries a report of the Treasurer
of the Endowment Fund regarding the payment up to date on the
Million Dollar Campaign. Consequently, this seems to be a fitting
time to front squarely the personal obligation with which such a
statement brings us face to face.

Almost six months have passed since the day when, swept up
by the enthusiasm of a group and fired with an intensity of pur-
pose, we pledged almost eighty thousand dollars to the develop-
ment of an Agnes Scott which should be greater and finer for
generations of students to come. Our motives were varied; some
of us gave for the betterment of Agnes Scott’s standards and our
own incurrent benefit; some of us, having clear vision to see be-
yond the present, gave to the Agnes Scott of the future; but most
of us gave out of our love, as we would give to a friend.

In these six months, has that intensity of purpose worn away
somewhat? Such a reaction would be only natural. Men forget,
sometimes, their high moments, and the strongest purposes are
likely to be obscured. One hesitates to approach so over-empha-
sized a subject as obligation. People have grown exceedingly
weary of its reiteration. But a person never gets entirely away
from the standards he has set in his own heart, and it is regard
for these standards that will bring Agnes Scott ultimately to her
goal.

Yet if we have forgotten to a certain extent the first great
joy that was ours at the privilege of serving Agnes Scott, is it not
time it was renewed? Duty and obligation and accomplishment
are splendid words—but there are times when love can take up
their work and go on to the end. And then, there is always a loyal-
ty to one’s self-respect.

Martha Tower

“Time hath, my lord, a wallet at his back,
Wherein he puts alms for oblivion,
A great-sized monster of ingratitudes:
Those scraps are good deeds past; which are devoured
As fast as they are made, forgot as soon
As done: perseverance, dear my lord,
Keeps honor bright: to have done, is to hang
Quite out of fashion, like a rusty mail
In monumental mockery.”

This division is very positively not
a peace propaganda producing agency.
It has no intentions of bombarding
college campuses with material writ-
ten by proponents of any one view
with an eye to producing pacifists, in-
ternationalists, cosmopolitanists,
League of Nations adherents, or fol-
lowers’ of any other philosophy or
“ism.” International relations and
foreign policies are cold facts in the
practical world of affairs. Intellectual
co-operation between nations is an es-
tablished practice, undertaken en-
thusiastically by the students of Eu-
rope. Intelligent interest in interna-
tional relations, understanding of for-
eign policies, particularly our own,
and participation in intellectual co-
operation are ingredients of a_ stu-
dent’s education, requirements for in-
telligent citizenship. This division is
concerned with stimulating creative
thought on these matters by providing
a center for the exchange of ideas and
suggestions between universities in
America, and contact with universities
in other parts of the world.

If a central office for the Interna-
tional Education Division is to be ef-
fective in directing the attention of a
great percentage of American stu-
dents to matters international, it
must be used by the member colleges
as a center of exchange. This office
is a mechanism to be used by students
and faculty in expressing methods of
drawing students to an intelligent con-
sideration of the problems of interna-
tional intercourse, and an open forum
for the finest literary efforts of stu-
dents all over the world for free use
in college publications.

One student correspondent on each
member college or university is neces-
sary for an efficient exchange through
the central office.

Some contact between the cor-
respondent and the students of his uni-
versity, particularly those specifically
interest, is necessary to facilitate the
collection of useful material for other
universities, and the distribution of
ideas and suggestions which come
from them.

Further, a great deal of efficiency
may be gained through a loose co-
operation of all groups having some
interest in international affairs in pre-
senting programs, special events,
forums, etc., for the entire student
body.

Each university will have to work
out such organization as will best fit
its needs and type of institution. But,
any university, wishing to share in the
general exchange program of the In-
ternational Education Division must
be represented by one correspondent
of its choice, who is himself interested
in world affairs, and has some method
of contacting interested students in
the university.

Questionnaire Shows Inter-
est in League.

sixty-one asked for the Educational
Department’s “Outline for a Model
Assembly,” already so widely used in
colleges last spring; seventy-seven re-
quested a copy of the “Study Course
on the League” and fifty-three asked
to see the League’s own “Monthly
Summary.” Forty-nine colleges asked
to see the “League of Nations News.”
Another most interesting answer, from
the standpoint of the future, was to
the question concerning student inter-
est in the Leageu. Seventy-five col-
leges replied either that it is already
strong, or increasing.

“So much for the colleges. Replies
from the norma! schools are not so en-
couraging. A smaller percentage re-
plied, thirty-eight out of the three
hundred and thirty-five addressed.
Practically all that answered, how-
ever, state that through courses in his-
tory, georgraphy, reading civics, or
the arts, they are preparing their stu-
dents to train their future pupils along
the lines of world friendship. The
methods indicated are too varied to
summarize. One striking answer from
Iowa seems to have about the right
idea: ‘The League is always referred
'to as an honest effort in the right di-
rection. We believe that if the teacher
truly feels that world peace is possible
and desirable, the biggest step has
been taken. Good teachers will find
their own way to give these ideas to
the children.’ Twenty-two of the
thirty-eight expressed a desire for
further League material. Thirty-four
of the thirty-eight state they definitely
mention the League as a means of
world co-operation in their courses.”

Student Activities

re student activities worth while?
Do they add anything to the value of
college life?

Self responsibility, the earnest and
ambitious student seeks for further
opportunities to know himself and his
capabilities, to measure himself with
others. For his self-study and meas-
urement there are open to him curricu-
lar laboratories represented by many
of the so-called student activities.

Among the activities are those offer-
ing training in public service, such as
student council, big sister work, and
student advisers; in publications there
is training offered in management,
writing, and business; in dramatics
there is training in the field of staging,
costuming, production and business; in
debate there is training in oratory and
logical construction of thought; in in-
tramural athletics there is physical up-
building; in social life there is often a
cultural training.

All of these represent in miniature

Affairs, in The Minnesota Daily.

The first of the series of class ves-
per services was held Sunday night

with the Sophomore class leading.
Harriet Smith was in charge of the
music. The subject was “Reality’—
the first in a group entitled, “What Is
There in Religion?”

The speaker was Ellen Davis. Be-
cause of the length of her talk, it is
impossible to publish it in full.

She brought out the need of man
for a week-day religion, concerning
vitally his commonplace duties and in-
terests. So he seeks practical reality
in religion.

This search for reality is very mark-
ed in the growth of the land—and
the student
groups, who are intent on penetrating
as far as possible into the fundamental
things.

Will the search for Something—
someone—to worship end in satisfac-
tion? Can we find reality in religion
—in Christianity? Man must realize
first of all that if he canont believe,
the trouble is with him.

Our Christ is a practical one. He
was a man of action, not words. He
lived his teaching and He intended for
His followers to do the same. His
claims are only those which will ap-
peal to the soundest common sense.
Christianity is the most reasonable—
the most real—religion in the world.

Night Football

Night football will come into na-
tional prominence in 1929, according
an an article in the March College
Humor. Several schools have played
football at night in the past as an
experiment, and so satisfactory were
the results that it is believed that
night football has come to stay.

At least it will be brought into the
national spotlight next November,
when Coach Knute K. Rockne’s Notre
Dame eleven meets Coach O. M.

Is Hitch-Hiking Doomed?

New York. (By New Student Servy-
ice)—Some joker in the New Hamp-
shire legislature has proposed a license
fee for hitch-hikers amounting to
$5.50 per person. According to news-
paper reports, another measure was
also proposed that would require them
to display two headlights and a tail
light when traveling at night.

No cause for laughter is contained
in the pending Pennsylvania bill, how-
ever. It follows the example of New
Jersey in forbidding this most pleas-
ant and diverting form of travel.

“When it becomes a crime,” com-
plains The Dickinsonian, student news-
paper of Dickinson college, “for a
clean cut, intelligent, honest college
boy to ask a passing motoring for the
means to get to his home and parents
during a brief vacation pariod, then it
is time to question the discretion of
legislative bodies.”

American colleges and normal
schools are showing an increasing in-
terest in the League of Nations, ac-
cording to answers received by the
National Educational Committee of
the League of Nations Non-Partisan
Association to an inquiry recently sent
to 893 instittuions throughout the
United States. In summarzing the
answers, Mrs. Harrison Thomas, sec-
retary of the committee, says:

“One hundred and seven answers
came in from the colleges. Each of
the one hundred and seven in reply to
the first question indicated that rou-
tine instruction in regard to the
League is given in the regular college
courses, mainly in general or modern

tional relations. Courses in economics
and political science also include the
study of the League, as do various
special courses such as international
problems, history of political thought,

the road is good, and may follow it.

At the end of every year we can remember gold autumn days
and football games, and the return in the dusk to a campus
strangely dear; the sharpness of excitement at Christmas time;
the majestic processional of Ancient of Days; the glimmer of In-
stallation Service; the still wonder of April nights, and the smell
of honeysuckle on the back campus; the comradeship of sunny
days and books and walks together.

This year it is ours to remember the strengthening of pur-
pose, the welding quality of a common motive—realized on that
crisp November day when love for Agnes Scott made itself evident
in a material way. This year it is ours to remember a Christmas
which came upon us unexpectedly, its usual happiness heightened
by its length. This year it is ours to remember a sudden April on
our threshold, and a campus where the poplar trees made long
shadows on the grass. Most of all it is ours to remember this year
because of its very nearness. Its friends, and its kindness, and
its shining moments have been very dear.

We have loved this road. This is our patteran.

The last act opened with a gruesome
scene at the dungeon. Two bats were
flitting around a row of mummies
whom they unceremoniously unwrap-

whitened bones. The skeletons, after
a wierd dance, disappeared to make
things hot for Remedies. Much to his

Quite an addition to the atmosphere
was Brother A. Knight’s Colored Band,
which performed before, during, and
after the opera. Under Knight’s splen-

all sorts of selections. Among those
most enjoyed were “The Wedding
March,” with illustrations; “I’d Rather
Be a Hottentot”; “Oh Davidson,” and
other classical compositions. The great
variety of selections and the remark-

spring season were announced.

Thursday night the varsities for the |S0ciation entertained the Gym Depart-

ment, the Referees, and all partic-
ipants in sports at a banquet in Re-
bekah dining room.

The program consisted of a number
of toasts and songs to distinguished
and deserving personages. The first
toast was given to everybody in the
form of a welcome by Charlotte Hun-
ter, the president of the Athletic As-
sociation and toastmistress for the
}evening. “G. B.” Knight, Dotty Hut-
and Betty Bonham delivered
toasts to the fall season, the winter
season and the spring season, respect-
ively. Then “Ditto” Worth delivered
an oration on the merits of the Gym
Departmnet. She compared the three
members of the department to our
daily meals and proved in conclusion
that these three persons are as neces-
sary to Agnes Scott as three daily
meals. The referees received a very
ornate and overwhelming oration from
Mildred McCalip. They likewise re-

ceived pieces of toast tied in college
colors.

At the close of the dinner awards
for the final season were made.

Everybody knows that America is a
free country; and college students are
supposed to be loyal advocates of liber-
ty and freedom in all things. Yes,
these are well-known facts, but—what
have they got to do with our own dear

Agnes? Well, herein is the explan-
ation; just look forward a little to next
Tuesday and what that day holds in
store is not expressable on paper or
in ten little short lines of a column.
Exams! How we long for vacation
to come but how we hate what stands
between us and the good old summer
time! And then in that time of night-
mares and early risings at dawn and
terrible forebodings of reports arriving
a month later—there is no freedom.
And we are not pretending to uphold
in those days of toil and struggle who
dare to go shopping in town or even
to the movies in Decatur. A dope up
at little Dee or a hurried trip to the
Tea House must satisfy our cravings
for recreation. We are in seclusion
totally, unavoidably, and really volun-
tarily—all for the sake of one little
word—“merit.”

But we don’t mean to be depressing
or pessimistic, ’cause all the best peo-
ple always do come out all right; and
it is fun to think about graduation
and vacation and everything. So let’s
be cheerful and maybe we can squeeze
in one trip to town, or two or three
hikes to Little Dec for an ice cream
or so. And finally—good luck, every-
body—and have just more fun this
summer than you’ve ever, ever had be-
fore!

Giddy, darling,

Do you realize that this is the very
last letter you'll have from me ’til next
September, for during exams and dur-
ing vacation is neither time nor oc-
casion for writing letters. Certainly
will miss everybody this summer; I
don’t think I’ve realized quite how nice
everybody is til we got all dressed up
for May Day, and the weather cleared
up (just when the Queen and her court
had decided to try water colors on
their goloshes).

You just should have been here for
this fourth of May, Giddy. It was
quite superlative—the loveliest May
Day, the cutest Senior Opera, oh and
of course the best May music, for Mr.
Dieckmann composed it, himself (and
did you hear about his leaving all his
classes the other day ’cause Mrs.
Dieckmann phoned him the baby had
just cut a tooth?)

Charlotte made the most beautiful
queen—white was so becoming to
her. And everybody’s planning to copy
the maids’ dresses. I should love to
have a flowing affair like the one
Helen Hendricks wore, if I could just

Yes—once more a year has rolled
around and Aggie is losing another
noble class. Just two weeks and our
beloved twenty-niners will have joined
the ranks of the alumnae. It seems
appalling to them that their college
days are over, and yet, it is even
worse for us for we have to come
back next year and start all over with-
out them.

Perhaps the most interesting thing
to a Senior right now (besides what
the family is giving her for gradua-
tion) is what she is going to do next
year. Of course we are interested
too.

Some of them are very coy and hesi-
tate to give out anything definite.
Others say, “Now Ill tell you, but
don’t you dare print it.” Therefore
not being very bold perhaps we had
better leave all such matters to that
irrepressable Giddy.

The Brown twins say that they
want to do this, that, and the other,
but will probably stay at home. Just
among friends we would suggest that
home might be a very nice place to
park if that wonderful roadster of
theirs ever got out of fix.

Augusta Roberts is going to do
family welfare work in Atlanta. For
’Gusta this will just be a continuation
of fine social work she has been doing
ever since she was in sox. Ruth
Perrine, who has also had previous
experience, is planning to do social
work in Philadelphia.

We will have teachers in abundance
—our Charlotte is to teach in Rey-
nolds High School in Winston-Salem,

so anxious to know if Firpo was there

—and he was! You should see her
ring, Giddy; it’s just gorgeous. And
Polly Irvine has a beautiful new Sigma
Chi pin—oh, romance is flowering
with the spring, truly. And Baby Sara
got out her K. A. pin, ’cause Jimmy
came. Which all reminds me, Baby
went to town yesterday—the first time
she’d ever been by herself—“Baby’s
first outing,” is the way the books list
it, I believe. j

Many people are planning “outings”
as soon as school is out—really excit-
ing ones—like Page going to William
and Mary finals, and Helen Anderson
to Davidson, and—oh but I meant to
tell you about Helen’s planning to get
tanned by ultra-violet rays before she
goes, so she'll look athletic.

But I will look sick if I don’t get

some sleep, and we must all be rested
up for exams, my dear (yes, I’m quot-
ing, darling). Anyway wish us luck,
Giddy, and haye a grand and glorious
vacation.

Til next September, au revoir.

other famous A. S. alumnae who live
in Winston-Salem.

Edith MceGranahan is going to teach
English and History in Opelika, Ala.,
where Baby Watson is from. Suzanne
Stone will teach in her own home
town—historic old Oxford. And, of
course, Sally Cothran will be at home
too (for who could leave Charlotte ?)
The funny thing about it is that Sally
is going to teach third grade children.
All we can say is that if laughing
really makes you fat, she will soon
have a whole class of little roly-polies.

Baby Sara and Merritt say that they
may teach, too, but it is hinted that
Someone may make both of them
change their minds.

Lib Hatchett is going to teach for a
year at home in Kentucky. “And
then?” we questioned—but got no an-
swer.

Leonora Briggs is planning to spend
the winter with her sister way off in
Seattle,

Although from this you can see that
our girls are to be scattered hither,
thither and yon, we need not feel dis-
couraged for loyal Hottentots always
return you know—even unto the third
and fourth generations.

THE AGONISTIC

Alumnae News

The marriage of Edith Dupree
Brown, ex °28, to Mr. William Rodri-
guez will take place on May 16 at
the bride’s home in Minden, La.

Janie McGaughey, °13, of St. Louis,
Mo.,
lege last week. She is now the secre-
tary of the Woman’s Auxiliary of the
Southern Presbyterian Church.

Blanche Haslam, °26, of Anniston,
Ala., was a week-end visitor at the
Tea House.

Maurine Bledsoe, *27, of Asheville, |

N. C.; Rachel Henderlite, ’27, and
Josephine Bridgman, ’27, of Gastonia,
N. C., are visiting friends on the cam-
pus. Louisa White, ’27, and Maurine
were guests for the Athletic Banquet
Thursday night.

“Dick” Seandrett and Polly Stone
were hostesses at a dinner party in
the Tea House Saturday night. The
guests were: Frances (Grant) Wilmer,
ex ’23, and her husband, Cora Morton
Durrett, ’24, and her husband, and
Miss Ruth Scandrett, “Dick’s” sister.

The commencement season seems to
be drawing many alumnae back to the
“ole camping ground.” Among those
who have already engaged rooms at
the Alumnae House are: Virginia Ord-
way, ’24; Nonie (Peck) Booth, ’24, and
Lucile (Little) Morgan, ’23, from An-
niston, Ala. Sallie Cothran’s mother,
Ye graduate of Agnes Scott, is also
‘ for commencement this year.

Mary Perkinson, ’28, spent the week-
end with Peggy Lou Armstrong and
Augusta Roberts.

k. More lights in bathrooms in
Rebekah.

In conclusion we believe that a Stu-
dent Government Association should
be, above everything democratic; that
it should strive to promote free and in-
telligent expression of opinion; and
that in its judicial work, it should
never lose sight of the value, responsi-
bility, and rights of the individual.
We recommend that the officers for
1929-1930 work steadily through
House Committees to further means
to secure the participation of a larger
number of students in the work of
Student Government; and thus to pro-
mote a greater sense of individual re-
sponsibility.

We also recommend that they try
to keep in close contact with the en-
tire student body.

‘Tour to be Conducted Eta Siema Phi

By University of N.C.

Opportunity for Travel and
Study Offered.

Final plans for the residential tour

coming summer under the auspices of
the Extension Division of the Univer-
sity of North Carolina have been com-
pleted, according to an announcement
just received from R. M. Grumman,
Director. Membership of the group is
taking shape rapidly and prospective
students are urged to notify the ex-
tension office without delay in order

to secure steamship accommodations.

The itinerary of the tour includes a
three-weeks’ residence in the summer
resort, Bagneres-de-Bigorre, in the
Pyrenees mountains. Intensive study
will be taken up during this stay, and
opportunity for enrollment in the sum-
mer school of the University of
Toulouse, conducted in Bagneres, will
be given those interested. Professor
J. C. Lyons, of the University facul-
ty, will offer courses in French lan-
guage and literature, the successful
completion of which will entitle the
student to college credit. Students
will thus be enabled to pursue the
study of French under the most favor-
able conditions and prospective teach-
ers of French can combine that most
essential stay abroad with progress to-
wards their degrees.

Opportunity for congenial com-
panionship with teachers and students
from colleges of North Carolina and
other Southern states, and for a gener-
ous allowance of time for travel and
study if desired offers those register-
ing the prospect of a pleasant and
eventful summer.

Members of the French tour will sail
from New York on June 15 on the S.
S. Rotterdam of the Holland-America
Line and return August 23 on the S.
S. New Amsterdam of the same com-
pany.

F you could measure how much you get of dry cleaning value—
how much renewed lustre and brightened color for silks, how
much of trim moulded neatness for wool materials—you could tell
more easily the quality of work we do.

But there’s no instrument to measure dry cleaning value—except
your eye. Look closely at the dresses and coats we dry clean for
you. Notice our care for details—the extra fine appearance of
your garments when they’re handled by our experts.

There’s dry cleaning and dry cleaning. It costs no more to use our
high quality service.
