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: Academic Building Endowment for repairs, ete. $300,000 50,000 a | Steam plant and laundry__-- 125,000 *| Endowment for upkeep__-. 15,000 Obanews Se 125,000 Endowment for upkeep_--_ 10,000 | Day Student quarters_____--- 25,000 Land and improvements__--- 115,000 Paving, sewers and steam Cy 2 ees 25,000 | Permanent equipment —--.~-~- 25,000 Endowment and scholarship__ 185,000 $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 eal desires if a oll student, con-| money to Agnes Scott.

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.

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.

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 program | Warren in lobster costumes and look- ing enough like the animals to have come from the beach, rendered a “creepy-crawly” dance entitled the Lobster Quadrile. Alice herself, ap- peared on the stage in her blue dress and white organdy apron and read the “Walrus and the Carpenter’ to the children. The grandparents sat on the side while the children played such games as drop-the-handkerehief and tag.

Realizing this, we rather hesitatingly put the first issue of the Agonistic, your weekly paper, into your hands. must be done in order to have improvements over the Agonistic And yet, this should not be too difficult because we can derive benefits from past experiences. With this it na we should be able to accomplish great things. _ Many of the old girls are acquainted withthe aims and pur- poses of the Agonistic; an honest and sincere account of the news on and about the campus, and the stimulation of creative thinking. This year we are planning to keep these aims and carry them out We are hoping, too, to make the Agonistic this last. year. as best we can. EDITORIAL Browning has said “Progress is the law of life.” progress and go forward if we wish to hold our place in the world today. One who attempts to stand still is soon pushed backward and lags behind. We must be able to make improvements over We must Many things year a “bigger and better” paper; one of which Agnes Scott could be proud. One way in which we can accomplish this is by having the interest of every student. fall a vital place in the college life of every girl. We feel that the Agonistic does not There are really very few who take an active interest in it. And yet, we can hope to have a good paper when, and only when, everyone feels that she is responsible for its publication and is willing to assist the staff in its work. 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 year for the Agonistic. | It is with pleasure that the Agonistic staff | WELCOME ; extends its wel- come along with the many others that are being given at this 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. Freshman Officers their officers for the year.

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, Ae News Gr-r-raftion a-l-u-m n-a-e.

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 gazed up at.all the -volames of Adams and asked if they all had the same thing in them. I wish somebody would take that much interest in me. My eyes cried all afternoon over that onion we oper- ated on in biology, and nobody even 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 seen the two pairs of them going to- gether to the reception. The Mathis especially, have the right spirit. After GRANDMOTHERS PARTY CAUSES GREAT EXCITEMENT (Continued from Page One) eye much too swollen to allow the grandmothers peace of mind as to what he might inflict upon their own protegees, won every game. At someone’s suggestion there was a grand march when everyone joined in. Before the evening was over every little child and old person had begun to dance. Some got so efficient that they were dancing the newest steps before the end. At ten o’clock, } with wilted organdies and skinned knees the guests made their way to the dormitories. Thus ended the Agnes Scott grandmother-grandchild party!

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.

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.

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.

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 \them to me.” 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. is our choice of friendship. Secondly, I Don’t sit around quietly and wait for |want to speak ofsthe cultivation of | S°™eone to seek your friendship. To Lou Yeatman spent several days at A. S.

Last of all, I shall mention thé limits of friend- There is nothing so important as the | choice of friendship; for it both re- flects character and affects it.

You eannot force any- one to become a friend. Just be a friend, the rest will follow. Another rule for your choice of friends: don’t choose your friends be- cause of thier usefulness to you. Of all the reasons for choosing a friend, the lowest and most despicable is be- cause you think that, person will have influence in helping you progress in a certain group.

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 ;men are 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.” THE AGONISTIC = 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 Harvey Ficklen Owen LeMay Southerland 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. LLL | | Ce Jokes The optimist observes the silver lin- ing of clouds; the pessimist looks at his brake linings. “Just think!

Deal of Originality 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.

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. Dr. Moncrief Speaks In Chapel Wednesday Give Interesting Talk on Youth and Its Op- portunities. Dr. Monerief of the Decatur Baptist Church talked in chapel Wednesday morning, welcoming all of our new Baptist girls to Decatur and conduct- ing the devotional exertises, He based 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- iasm and real ability of youth are the things, according to Dr. Mancrief, which make youth really worthy of respect.

It is reprinted in full for the benefit of any who may have missed it. “This morning I have been asked to announce to you the names of the six girls who will complete the member- ship of the class of 1929 in Hoasce. For the great number of you who are new girls the word Hoase is, as yet, only a name. For the old stu- dents, the word has a very definite ington, and Lindbergh were cited as meaning.

Fo¥ all these reasons, it has become customary to have at this time a brief réstatement of what Hoase is. i Hoase was orgatiized in 1916 by a group of Seniors who wished to serve Agnes Scott to the very best of their abilities. Its origiffal purpose has re- mained unchanged=-to serve Agnes ‘Scott. To secure this service, mem- bership in this order is conferred on those girls who have been outstanding in the life of our college as a com- munity.

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.

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.

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 La . . . 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 Exchange Fourteen-Year-Old Freshmen At Emory this year there are two Freshmen who are but fourteen years old.

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. LLL LEFF FF A ASO | ! LL F__F_ FE | EE ER AA AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE Decatur, Ga. for its standards of work and for the interesting character of its student activities.

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.

But Elizabeth Merritt said “I "Spec he ought to have red hair.” Mildred Mc- Calip said his looks were the least of her worries, but the important thing | was his personality—it must be like Al Smith’s.

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.

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. i | i ! i ! | ' ‘ 18 L.

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.

Mildred McCalip as Lon Chaney in Blossom Time with Martha Tower as 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.

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.

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.

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.

Since the House Committees have the authority to keep quiet rules in force they should be given the oppor- tunity to do so. As it is they have competition which is by no means weak. F.

XIV AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1928 ‘NO. 4 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. with rolls, | Reieal Made ue Y.

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 them over the sudden death of their father, Mr. E. D.

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.

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. Thursday evening, March 7, Sergiovia, a Spaniard, will give a 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 the greatest genius and standing. Tickets for these concerts may be secured at Phillips and Crew Piano Company. Andrea ing the winter at home too.

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. “Money is a means to an end, not an end in itself.” Oe COE L.

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- the Director of Physical Education in operate with the college manager and! Seniors and Sophomores victorious over the Juniors and Freshmen. Both of the victorious teams succeeded in pushing through one goal during the last few minutes of play. The Fresh- 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: Seniors—Knight, Morgan, Rice, Worth, LeMay, Logan, Johnston, Hun- ter, Ficklin, Welsh, Lanier. Freshmen—S. Bowman, Lander, Robbins, Waddell, Dyer, Willingham, O’Bierne, Wilson, Squires, Kane, Hirsch, Norfleet (substitute). Sophomores—Grey, Watson, Wool- folk, Purdy, McCalip, Morrow, Hey- man, Hudson, Pringle, Hill, Miller. Juniors—Armstrong, Nash, McLean, Shanklin, Preston, Arwood, Armfield, Woolford, Townsend, Miller, Owen. Alumnae News Decatur was the scene of a lovely wedding Thursday night—it was an Agnes Scott wedding too. Mary Knox, 26, was married to Mr. Albert Hap- holdt, of Decatur, who is connected with the Atlanta Athletic and East Lake Clubs. Betty Chaplin, ’26, was dame of honor, and Evelyn Barnett, : ex-’28, was one of the two bridesmaids. Little Miss Anne Eagen, pretty niece of the late Miss Anna Young, acted as flower girl—and “Miss Florine” was the “bride” for the rehearsal. Miriam Anderson, ’28, is at Rich- mond, Va., attending the Richmond Training School. Her roommate at Agnes Scott, Jack MeLendon, is en- gaged in religious education work at Philadelphia, Pa. Maurine Bledsoe, ’27, writes that she is doing active club work in Asheville, N. C. She explains that a club wo- man’s: life is “really rather exciting.” Betty Fuller is recuperating at her home in Havana, Cuba, after an oper- ation for appendicitis. Olive Graves, ’28, is teaching in a town on the outskirts of Nashville, Tennessee. Louisa White, ’27, has a position in a lawyer’s office in Atlanta. Leila Bell, '27, is teaching in Daw- getting professional players of At- ‘Janta to come out and give demon- strations or lectures and in any other plans in the interest of the club mem- | bers.

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.

VOL. XIV 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. Y “ox Ehbe Agonistic = SATURDAY NIGHT AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1928 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 Christmas prize. Mr. Orr has not told us what it is; but we can always count on him to make it interesting and well worth while. So if you have not already written your one hundred-word composition or your short story, do so at once, for they are due by November first. Hand them either to Miss Scandrett or to Charlotte Hunter, 71 Rebekah. This is the chance of a lifetime! Auguste V. Desclos Next Speaker on Lecture Program To Speak on University Life in Paris. The Lecture Association will pre-} sent on Monday night the next speaker on their program for the year, Au- guste V. Desclos, assistant director of the Office National des Universities et Ecoles Francaises. Monsieur Des- clos’ subject will be “University Life in Paris, Past and Present.” This lec- ture, given in English, will be illus- trated. We are extremely fortunate in securing Monsieur Desclos. He is one of four Frenchmen'sent out by the French Ministry of Education to in- vestigate community life in American colleges. He is also interested in the Delaware Foreign Study Plan. ) Oct, 2 Dr. H.S. Jennings Brought By Lec- ture Association| pith Brad 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. Campus Calendar Senior 5:00. Soph. hockey practice, 4:00. Pi Alpha Phi meeting, 7:00. Junior hockey practice, 4:00.

Last Friday afternoon and evening a German Club was formed by the Blackfriars entertained at a house German students. The officers elected were as follows: President, Ruth Bradford. Secretary-Treasurer, Louise Baker. The German Club is to be organized on the same basis as the other depart- mental clubs, membership in it carry- The mem- bers voted to have one meeting each week.

He has been influential in making the Agnes Scott German Club a member of the Inter- state League for German Clubs. 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.

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 As an outsider, I would suggest that help them “carry on.” Janet MacDon- Hoase make no attempt to defend|ajd told us that to each of its mem- their recent elections, in reply to an!bers Hoasc offers a challenge for article recently published in the Agon- | greater service, istic. I would suggest merely that the members set forth their ideals, the basis for an election to Hoasc. Cer- tainly it is the duty of the members to enlighten the rest of us on the ques- tion: “Is Hoase’s ideal a matter of service or attitude?” i "29. *B0. Elinore Morgan Talks on Attitudes Three Attitudes Presented As Detrimental. 729. 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.

There are so many. new novels that receive en- thusiastie criticism that we don’t know where to begin. But the other day Miss McKinney was heard to recom- mend Maristan Chapman’s ‘Happy Mountain” very favorably, so we put that first on the list. This novel is the first choice not so much for its story, which is a small thing, as for the singularly charming manner of its telling. It deals with the mountain folk of Tennessee and particularly Wait-Still-on-the-Lord Lowe, who wan- ders away to see the world and later thinks better of it and comes back to home and sweetheart. It is the hill talk that translates this out of the ordinary, and it is woven not alone into the dialogue, but throughout the It is a rich brogue, easy, and colorful. Then there is the striking new story of Louis Bromfield, “The Strange Case of Miss Annie Spragg.” This is a you begin with life threads spun whole worlds apart and gradually weave them together.

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.

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.

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 see yourself as others see you? Ac- 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. the library present any better appear- ance for during one hour thirty-two slumps were seen.

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.

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.” —Sou’ Wester, Dartmouth Leads New York.—Dartmouth College has more faculty members listed in the 1928-29 “Who’s Who In America” than any other educational institution of college rank and size in the country. Oberlin College is second in number of names in the book, with Swarth- more, Smith, Amherst and Pomona colleges trailing close behind. —Sou’ Wester.

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 were really having trouble. You know 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.

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.

XIV 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 (Continued on Page Four) 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. NO. 6 Senior Class to Be ‘Invested November 3 Miss Hale to Be Speaker of Occasion. The investiture of the class of ’29 will take place Saturday, November 83, with Miss Hale as the chief speaker. In recognition of the fact that three years of scholastic work have been satisfactorily completed about 79 girls will receive the privilege of wearing the collegiate cap and gown. This ceremony will be a continu- ation of a time-honored custom of Agnes Scott. The present Senior class is the 28rd to be recognized in this 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 —a penny for poll tax, and informa- tion will be provided to any one in- terested in absentee registration and voting in her own state. November 2nd is the big election day, and enthusiasm is running high. Come out and vote for our candidate—you might influence someone in the national election, and you will certainly not appear ignorant 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 League of Women Voters so that we may hear everything that takes place, and the League invites everyone to be there; any time in the afternoon and until 10:30 that night.

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. 9 A. M.—Registration desk opens.

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- (Continued on Page Four) Vassar Debate Subject Announced Control of Public Water Is to Be Discussed.

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 Jennings, head of the department of zoology at Johns Hopkins university. His subject will be, “What Can We Hope From Eugenics?” As a special- ist in research work on animal be- havior, genetics and certain other in- viting fields of psychology and phys- iology, Dr. Jennings is known on both 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. B., *30. Remember straw vote for President November 2nd. ee Byck Presents— SUEDE!

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.

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. { Buy a Hat and get another for $1.00.

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 as follows: SOPHOMORES JUNIORS Pringle Preston Terrell Nash Grey (1) Armstrong M.

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 (ee seriously, in consequence of their 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. !

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.

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: (Continued on page Four) SS SS FACULTY—DAY STUDENTS—BOARDERS You are cordially invited to a luncheon in the gymnasium, Tuesday, November 13, at 12:30. one that you will not want to miss!

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. Fifteen Freshmen Meet Rat Court Varied Entertainment Pro- } vided by Frosh.

The first case brought before the court was that of Clyde Lovejoy, ac- cused of spending too much time on the Colonnade, and sentenced to be an autumn moon and tell and show what she saw on the Colonnade. Catherine Jennings had to be a Phi Delta Theta pin from its acquisition to a Phi Delt bungalow. The noisiest performance of the eve- ning was given by Sara Bowman as a football game. Truly the Tech stands never cheer as well and lustily as Sara did. Florence Graham gave a perform- ance of the evolution of the dance, and Downs Lander’s talk on the fine points of Agnes Scott was something every girl should have heard. Elizabeth Willingham’s portrayal of that funny paper classic, the Gumps, rivaled that given by Sally Cothran earlier in the year. Peggy Link made the hit of the eve- ning in her search for the evening missing link, which she finally dis- covered to be Mildred McCalip. Among the others summoned before the court were Louise Yerxa, Penelope Brown, Christine Gray, Martha Logan and Charlotte Teasley and Betty Bon- ham and Mary Miller.

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.

Decatur, Ga—An excellent school paper and full of school spirit. We especially enjoy your “Giddie Gossip” column. 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 some spiritual significance—and help yourself to your own conception of Eight Cornell students purchased a hearse in which to travel to Princeton last Saturday for the Tiger-Cayuga grid test. —College Topics. WE THINK! 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? "30. 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.

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 Spe eee 0) SS i The Original Cash and Carry ' Howard’s 119 E.

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.

XIV AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1928 Million Dollar Endowment Campaign. = Bo) 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 | Proposed Distribu- tien of $1,000,000 Academic-Recitation Building $300,000 Endowment for repairs, etc... 50,000 Yr a 2 oe 125,000 Endowment for upkeep______ 10,000 Steam plant and laundry —_-. 125,000 Endowment for upkeep_----- 15,000 Day student quarters__..____ 25,000 Land and improvements__.-_-~ 115,000 Paving, Sewers and Steam DING oul awm oe oso 25,000 Permanent equipment —_.-.-- 25,000 Endowment and scholarships. 185,000 $1,000,000 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: Dormitory and dining room (replacing White House) ~_ $100,000 Endowment for upkeep 12,500 Fine Arts Builbing__-------- 100,000 Endowment for upkeep___---~ 10,000 Endowment for scholarships. 277,500 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.

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.

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 Mildred McCalip, *31 Marie Baker, ’30 Margaret Armstrong, ’30 Emily Squires, 32 in 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. Everybody’s le Teamwork 10¢ Counts $1 Endowment $10 Transforms $100 College $1,000 Every $10,000 Ten $100,000 Counts $1,000,000 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. —Tar Heel. 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. —Sweet Briar News.

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.

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.

CS tinemetinent*d EOL TD | A college for women that is widely recognized for its standards of work and for the interesting character of its student activities. EE |) A ASO AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE Decatur, Ga. LLP DD For further information, address J. R. McCAIN, President oe 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.

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 Moss made an impassioned plea for old clothes of any description, from baby eAlsralsatceatcrralcesalceralces For smartness on the dreary days, MISS NANCY FITZ- GERALD selected a jaunty champagne and brown French At Rich’s—Slickers, Trench Coats, Brantome Coats, Moder- ately Priced for the School Girl’s Purse— $6.95 to $10.95 Big, snuggly pockets. ...

THE AGONISTIC 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. MARRIED THIS MONTH The following announcement has been received at Agnes Scott with a great deal of interest.

M.RICH & BROS.CO. ae joy OSpeape 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, Florence Graham; secretary, Polly Wilson; treasurer, Susan Glenn; pian- ist, Elizabeth Skeen__ violinist, Eliz- abeth Sutton. Also a choir consisting of four members was organized. The class meets at 9:30 every Sunday morning in Dr. Johnson’s studio and the topic for next Sunday’s discus- sion is “Should One Try for Honors?” All Freshmen are invited to attend. Tryouts for the French Club were held October 24 in Demosthnean Hall and the following girls were admitted: Josette Ulrich. Miriam Thompson. Elizabeth Branch. Julia Rowan. Katherine Morrow.

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! STUDENT VOLUNTEER COUN- ‘CIL HOLDS CONVENTION The Georgia Student Volunteer Council for Foreign Missions was the guest of Agnes Scott and Emory November 3 and 4, while plans were being discussed for this year and for the Student Volunteer Conference to be held in February. The special speakers were Danish Kendall, traveling secretary from na- tional headquarters in New York, who brought a special message of encour- agement to the whole city union of Volunteers, Miss Faye Sessions from G. 8. C. W. and national council mem- ber who reported on the session of the National Council held at Kalamagoo College, Kalamgoo, Michigan, and Mrs. W. D. Turner, advisor of the Georgia Council. This council is composed of state of- ficers and group leaders: Marshall Loyell of Emory, president; Mary Alice Juhan of Agnes Scott, vice- president; J. D. Simpson of Columbia Seminary, secretary, and two repre- sentatives from the National Council, Faye Sessions of G. S. ©. W. and Harry Bryan of Columbia Seminary. Large delegations from Shorter, La- Grange, Mercer, Wesleyan, Piedmont, G. 8. C. W., Agnes Scott, Emory, and Columbia Seminary were also present, THE AGONISTIC 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: SOPHOMORES SENIORS Pringle Hunter Morrow Worth Grey Knight Sprinkle Hutton Knox Paxon Purdie Lanier Hudson Pasco Miller Rice Hill Southerland Heyman LeMay Chandler Logan FRESHMEN JUNIORS Willingham Shanklin O’Bierne Ogden Wilson Nash Peoples McLean Kane Preston Dyer Keith Riley Woolford Hyatt Arwood Robbins Harvey Lander Townsend Norfleet Owen Help your class go over the top. 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 a score of 31 points, the Juniors’ total score was 22, the Seniors, 19, and the Sophomores, 15. The results of the events were as follows: King-Pigeon—1st, Willingham; 2nd, Todd; 3rd, P. Brown. Arch Relay—ist, Freshmen; Juniors; 8rd, Sophomores. Form-Side—ist, Helon Brown; 2nd, Faves.

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.

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. ee j ADAMSON & COSTER CO., Inc. Decatur Branch 104 S.

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!

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, —Sou’ Wester. 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. —Sou’ Wester. 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.

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! ! Greater Values intchucks ay S108 IDIRIESS STHOID ARCADE BUILDING OT The Original Cash and Carry Howard’s 119 E.

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.” —Exchange. a ee Op ee) () ) ) i BAILEY BROS.

The campus campaign is well organized with one of our alumnae (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.

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.

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.

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 is empty 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. tion, even as if your beloved were to dwell in that house. “Tt is to sow seeds with tenderness and reap the harvest with joy, even as if your beloved were to eat the fruit. “Tt is to charge all things you fash- ion with a breath of your own 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 (Continued on Page Four) | 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 SUMOrSs: =n == 8,381.00 Seniors: 3 Se is es 22,591.00 ; Facuky <= 24,563.50 Rata’ feb Foe Beye $77,046.25 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. untiring effort and loyalty that a project of such size was able to ma- terialize. Campus Calendar Nov. 28 Glee Club practice, 6:45 PP.

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 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.

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. SNe ee Oe SSS ee ee eee ee ee ee ee es a a a a ee ei es Se Sle aA Se 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. E. 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 a day, average only one date a week, EXUMAMCE than water.” 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. K. W., 729. H..M., 29. —College Topics. “College men and women are made the objects of a great many jokes, but there is one phase of their life which 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. —New Student. “So you’re a salesman are you?

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- cember meeting. So if you have some impressions that you wish to keep don’t let them lie about in sight! Mary Miller and Martha Logan spent last week-end with Mr. and Mrs. Beck in Atlanta.

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.

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 THE AGONISTIC Y. W.

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. * De ee ee eee ake i LEARY-AYERS PHARMACY Phone De. 1765 Norris Exquisite Candies Elizabeth Arden Toilet Preparations Court Square 4 MPT oe hese rhe oe ne ole nde oleate ole ote sie oe ole iene sere stone sie ne oe Newest Styles in The Mirrors’ MONTH END SALE OF FINE FOOTWEAR $ Be Values to $9.50 Quali ty Footwear 76 Whitehall eT See Tere Lene ne ele ne lene ole nde ole rhe oe ne se ake ene se oe oe ae eae he ae eae ae oe eae eae nea nfs ae ne ae ne oe oe nee oe fe ae oe ae eae oe oho eka ole eke ole ole ole oe ole eke oe ke ole ke ole ole ale ole whe feof oleate ole ake nfs ale oleae fe ole de ate eke ore ols deol oe ols eae nde oe oe ole fe ofe fe ofe fe ofc fe ole ole ole ake oke me Ge he se ne sens whe oe he ae oe ae eae ne eof ae feof ae sen: % ag % een esbeteretesentesestese redeem sesh enka rent oes ses ene eee he sende seks estan eobe tenets sene e Lost ballonist: “Ahoy, where am I?” Farmer: “Heh, heh, you can’t fool me, by granny.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1928 , Hoasc Recognizes Three New Members Blackfriars Present | World Fellowship | Three One-Act Plays| Is Subject for Y. Excellent Dramatic Ability W. C. A. Vespers Shown. Sue Bailey is Guest of the Evening. Blackfriars presented three one-act plays last Saturday evening at eight- thirty o’clock in the gym. The curtain went ap with a delight- ful comedy, “Grandma Pulls the String” (by Edith Delano and David Carb). The characters as they enter- ed were: | Hildegard Cummings—Janet Shaw. Mitchell—Helon 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. Varsity Defeats Alumnae 25-11 Wilburn Is Star for the Alumnae. The basketball season opened last Friday Alumnae-Varsity game was played. The alumnae game is to be congratu- afternoon when the annual; lated on their wonderful playing con- sidering the fact that they have not played or practiced in a long time. Miss Wilburn scored most of the goals made by the alumnae but the Varsity kept ahead in the scoring and won the game, 25-11. The line-up for the two teams was: Short Hikes Scheduled for Every Day This Week. The supper-hike held last Wednes- day afternoon was attended by about forty people. It was a delightful short hike and was unusually well attended considering the fact that the dance was that night.

He referred to Janet MacDonald’s splendid talk, given at the first service; and, on account of the fact that she had at this time set forth the ideals of Hoase and the basis for membership in such a beautiful and clear way, did not reiterate these facts. Mr. Stukes, however, did give briefly the central and basic consideration for membership: the recognition of the spirit and ideals of service in every phase of college life. He then an- nounced the three new members: Sara Johnson, Elizabeth Merrit, and Rachel Paxon. 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. SENIORS TO SPONSOR FASHION REVIEW The Senior class will sponsor a Fashion Review in the Tea House Wednesday night after dinner.

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. NO. 4 // The F Agonistic Subscription Price, $1.25 per year in advance.

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. THE Sr EN Dons CS hele ” ges Ean Pee 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. (If you want the details, read Time for 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, But, to jump down from royalty, let [>i look at Portugal. Her Dictator- aii geanes has just decreed, in the name of Progress, that every man, woman, boy and girl must wear shoes, In a few weeks, the picturesque bare feet of Portugal will be shod (let us hope with well-fitting, flat-heeled ox- fords!). ee 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- —Vassar Miscellany.

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. em ee eR D: 4% es : ’ Bring your Christmas List ! to the ' MARGARET WAITE i BOOK SHOP { 119-123 Peachtree Arcade i *, lf |) a ae LF) |) | er vemmc-enn ize THE AGONISTIC Giddy, m’love, Do you realize that this time in two weeks I’ll be with you!

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.

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. Che Agonistic Subscription Price, $1.25 per year in advance. Single Copies, 5 cents Published weekly.

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.” | Ce ee ee eee ee eee eT 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. EXCAAQGE Three Religions in Student Body Three different religions and six- teen Christian denominations are rep- resented in the student body of Wash- ington and Lee, it was announced to- day by E.

Statistics were taken from en- trance blanks. rich man by a huge gift, made at the instigation, doubtless, of university of- ficials, can alter the whole structure of an historic institution, “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. —Ring Tum Phi. 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.

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.

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. 2 St ttt | Woman’ S Exchange ! 2 stores during December.

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- 88 cellent material for copy. Witness 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: Fashion Designs Modernistic Patterns for PRINTED FROCKS : at "16."

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!

Irvine, A glossy young guy at the U Found brainwork too boresome to do So he cut all his classes And majored in lasses, Tete-a-tete, nec-a-nec, Qu’avez-vous ? Not All There Lawyer: ‘“Was the man you found under the street car a total stranger?” Witness (trying to be very careful): “No, sir, his arm and leg were gone— he was only a partial stranger.” 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.” Margaret Patrick, ’32. NEW THE AGONISTIC Extends to All A And A Happy Y RAR UU THE AGONISTIC 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 > 1) ) ED (> ED 1) LS) AS ‘‘Starnes’’ We appreciate your business and want you to know it.

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 vespers in the chapel tonight.

Miss Bland has recently written a play, “The Princess Who Could Not Dance,” which will be published some- time in the spring by the Eldridge This play—in pag- eant form—is to be used especially by schools or classes of dancing. It is based on a little story by Ruth Plum- ney Thompson, which appeared in the April, 1916, number of Saint Nicholas. It is a delightful and fantastic little production and we are indeed proud of Miss Bland and her latest literary achievement. Publishing House. Miss Carrie Meares At Alumnae House Regional Y. W.

She is not making Agnes Scott an official visit, but is spending her days hard at work in town, which is the reason she has not been introduced to the college community.

A a) 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? 108 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- | lando. Orlando, the hero-heroine, who is three hundred years old before he- she gets adjusted to life so that his- her author feels all right about leaving him-her.

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 oblige, you know. 730. z AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE Decatur, Ga.

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.” PF > SS ES) Dg GET THE LATEST NOVELS —from— THE HAT BOX 311 Chureh St. oe em ee es ms ee em aos Decatur, Ga. j CT led need eet eX) RA % a we Da Se oSe okt oka oh ae ne te oe oe oe oe ae ae ne ate roste shane % % & 716° 0 ae oe The vanguard of spring—ensemble frocks—peeping from oa Sa frost covered windows of Fifth Avenue / . . whisking gaily | By along the sunny walks of West Palm Beach arriving se ea daily at Rich's, on tip toe to be out among the Hottentots! oe a Frocks of soft flat crepe with skirt pleated in front oF Ba with a pearl button adding dash with strips of con- By OO) Je 2) Ye Saialins sieaan DOO ( _ trasting materials piping throat and following a diagonal t= eC g or a line a bit of a way down the front . . . from the trick of a er eee Op re Se ©f collar to the generously turned hem, distinctly “ensemble” os Se oe loa 4 . i?

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.

XIV AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1929 No. # (+ 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- Staffs for Class Issues Announced Willingham, Brown, Arm- strong, McGranahan to Head Staffs.

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.

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. "25.

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.

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.

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. —Sou’wester. 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.

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: SENIORS SOPHS PASCO eee Tage ae Hill Southerland —____ FS Friedman NOSt <2 ans Thompson Morgan ______-_ oe Shaw Bridgman —_-____ Gos Watson 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.

Every member of each team was so excited that she charged and dribbled, and tagged and over- guarded, without even realizing that that wasn’t exactly the thing to do. And the time-outs!

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. i i lk al ali ital : = * : : % .

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. . . . .

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.

For sale on every hall. 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- | geia, 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 o'clock the Alabama Glee Club gave a concert in the gym. The program, which was very good, consisted of the following selections: Part first: «xere’s to the Colors of Crimson- White—Ludebuehl. (a) String Trio—Arranged.

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 Tonics and Sedatives The A B C of Vitamins C. H. A., in St. Bartholomew’s Hospital Gazette A 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 keratinize If you miss your Vitamin A.” B Now polished rice is extremely nice At a high suburban tea, But Arbuthnot Lane remarks with pain That it lacks all Vitamin B, And beri-beri is very very Hard on the nerves, says he. “Oh, take your Vitamin B, my dears!” I heard that surgeon say; “Tf I hadn’t been fed on standard bread, I shouldn’t be here today.” C The scurvy flew through the schooner’s crew As they sailed on an Arctic sea. They were far from land their food was canned, So they got no Vitamin C. For “Devil’s the use of orange juice,” The skipper ‘ad said, said he.

Though it makes you sick, it’s a cure for the rickets And teeming with Vitamin D. 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 —oh, gimme some peanuts.” Husband: The doctor has ordered me to keep to a diet of sea food.

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. *A man too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busy to take care of his tools.’’-—Cicero.

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.

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 Front Street, New York City. 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.

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 | (Continued on Page Eight) “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!” When we look upon His creation we must know that God is powerful, wise, mighty, lover of law and beauty. We may also broaden our concep- yet how they | } | will enable her |search work after she gets her Ph. D. 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.

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, Mrs. Pennybacker made a kaleido- scopic survey of Europe as it was | subsisting with mere for the other two meals. /seen at the time of her last trip there.

He that hath seen me tion of God by being alive to the God- hath seen the Father; and how sayest “2 ” 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.” (Continued on Page Eight) then, Mrs. Pennybacker | “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. 2 THE AGONTS TIC MT eee ode ate ete oben sent ebe e ode ote ae oteode ote nena eeofe te ede eof ode stent ate te oteoeofenteofenfe ae age ofentetesfefeofe cfeste ofeefeoteateateeteatecteaeotectestecteatecteatesteate ° See efi ohe teeta ene rere ote deol eleode de ofeofe ode ofeodeoleofe ofetecfeoterieeecfeotestesfoeoeoteste stents desteotosteotectentoteet We have the Fourth of July for, Pennybacker charmingly enhanced the|ture fashion in some unimportant de- less, exposing the forehead (more sun-|the sunburned mode, adding a faint patriotism, Thanksgiving Day for| pleasure of the luncheon with her in-| tail. burn).

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- far come over to the United States under the auspices of the N. S. F.

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.

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, —The Nation. 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.” —Sou’wester. et LOL (a OTE W.

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 Violet Weeks Augusta Roberts Esther Rice Ethel Freeland “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.” The editor used This in a pinch He needed exactly Another inch.—Ex, And thus the exchange column mod- estly fills up space.

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!

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!

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 SSA Shae a oe ae she oe se ese ake coming season—Now suitable to any purse. aha Te oTe be rTe abe oleae ede ke de eho oe oben oe ee re ofr eevee ene ode oe oe eZee ele serene oe oe senna odefeote lente ode ote ode leatesfeode fespefeotetenteatelenteefergerfeotete tere rietlokeieiededoleieielleiei lololieieiol doledeiok leieienleiioieien Mee nee nde she ne he ale oe whe oe ale eae Lengo ohne he ae oft os oe oho fe “CHAMBERLINS ” How Did You Like Our Trip te Paris?” Which is what we called the Fashion Show Cham- berlin’s presented at Agnes Scott and in which we displayed fashion’s approved models for the Take a Trip to Atlanta and Come to Chamberlin’s We will show you how to assemble a spring ward- robe that is correct in every detail—and we’ll show you how to gather it at any price you wish to pay.

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 slug. The Medical College of Virginia has received a grant from the Chemical Foundation, Inc., of New York City, which will give to the institution for a three-year period a full time ex- pert for research in chemistry as re- lated to medicine, surgery, and dent- istry, it was announced today by Dr. W. T. Sanger, president of the college. Certain apparatus will also be made available through the grant. A year ago, it is said, the depart- ments of chemistry and medicine be- gan a co-operative plan of investiga- tion which early attracted the interest of the Chemical Foundation.

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. veer awe ee SS eee Se ee of the League take place. Here there | es stsseetertetraeriesterstertertenteiesierterterteotertote 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.

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.

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.” FY eae fas =3 ib seamen ete ! trd- Schober's lightning /.m—an interesting Spring © zation blonde kid. $17.50 to be seen! for Spring which begins importantly at $15 ter buckle of gold (This slipper ts also in blonde kid—with its harmonizing trim) $20 “st C — The 3—Blonde kid tron ted in lizard—( Dress el) $18.50.

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, Sophomores: “When George Washington crossed (Continued on Page Eight) JULIA SKINNER VISITS COLLEGE A very welcome visitor to the cam- pus last week was Miss Julia Lake Skinner, a graduate of Agnes Scott, and secretary of the Presbyterian Educational Committee.

The program was given at the annual Founder’s Day banquet at the Biltmore Hotel under the auspices of the Atlanta Agnes Scott Club. Mrs. William Dunn, president, presided. The delightful program of the Glee Club, under the direction of Mr. and Mrs, Lewis H. Johnson, included: “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.

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. 6 require- | 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. | Ct rr CCC 833 re { Program Includes Numbers By Glee Club and Special Chorus.

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.

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.

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.

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.

On January 31, at eight o’clock, watched the 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. i i = Hemstitching and Picoting ES * Plaiting and Button Covering %' *% ARCADE HEMSTITCHING #% % SHOP ses = (Downstairs) * % 18 Peachtree Arcade : : Atlanta, Ga.

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.

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- % * “ % % “ft % *, * % % % * *, ““ 4 Soe oe seo ofeode ofa ode eee ee ode odeote ote e oe oe ne ofeodeotenteoee eee ode nde oteate ate eee edeodeodeodententeete testesteste fey “BUCK IN THE SNOW,” Edna St. Vincent Millay A few copies of first edition MARGARET WAITE BOCK SHOP 119-123 Peachtree Arcade fe Te oTeeodeote ge ofeeteofeetefesZe ode edeode te ole oleoleteoleotedesteotestesteateats g a as 2 setetetetetetoteteteet Kata stesh Oo % % * KS RA % o> tote x 26 Heed : TAXI CABS Wal. 0200 The Hottentot Special BLACK & WHITE CAB CO.

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.

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. adh ii ili atilathcindla die 3 % = THE W. E.

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.

XIV AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 1929 No. 24 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. Vive le roi! Glee Club to Appear Lucky Queen Vive la reine! The Agnes Scott Glee Club will be! the guests of the Atlanta Music Club March 6th, Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock for their weekly musicale. This is a very unusual privilege and it is considered a great honor to have been chosen by the Atlanta musicians to sing. Emory will appear before the Music Club on March 11. 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. is president of the Atlanta branch of the Alliance and is vice-president of the Southeastern section of the Fed- eration. The Atlanta branch has been studying the French drama this year, and has secured Miss Alexander to speak at their meeting on de Musset and de Vigny. The one-act play will be given after her talk as an illustra- tion.

Through the eye of the time-honored | and unchanging etiquette of the oc- easion, we can view the unseen in- auguration almost as if we ha been present. About eleven o’clock of the eventful day President Coolidge, | accompanied by President-elect Hoover, Mr. Dawes, with his successor, Mr. Curtis, cabinet members and com- mitteemen, issued from the White) | is Monsieur Loridan | 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 | Monsieur de Chavigny | people; we profit by his pisdom and Cara Hinman Louise Thomas_——----- La domestique We are indeed proud of the way in March 4 tool the s/oath-:of which the French Club is spreading the influence of our Alma Mater.

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 floating college of fun” is drawn. Dramatic! Startling! Sensational! All Abo-ard!! 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 “Pommes de Terre en Robe de Chambre, Schwarz Brot, Pastel a las Cerezos,” and Wednesday night we 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. eing served dishes peculiar Fvarins countries, we enjoyed hearing | Dr. Hayes, who was once an English teacher in a school in Turkey, tell of He said that the know English before they can ask for anything at the table. However, this fact makes them learn English more } | quic kly. By associating with students ‘of other nationalities than their own, the boys become broad-minded, and have a better understanding of the | opinions of their comrades, thus train- ing themselves to be ideal citizens of the world. Christianity is slowly but surely making its way among them and leaving its influence. After dinner coffee was served by Marguerite Gerard, Katherine Morrow and Blanche Miller. Then two Irish girls, Sarah Lane Smith and Penelope Brown, danced their native Lrish “jig.” By this time we were enjoying our- selves so much that when some one suggested that it was time we were going back to America we were very reluctant to say good-bye. We were determined, however, to do as much as possible to further the work of World Fellowship in educating foreign stu- dents, for we thoroughly enjoyed our |Soup and potatoes. to the | 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. Dr. Walter Lingle After | }an Dr. Walter Lingle, President of the Assembly’s Training School of Rich- mond, Va., is giving a series of ser- mons at the Decatur Presbyterian Church. During his stay here he has spoken at our chapel services and his talks have been quite helpful. Many of the Agnes Scott girls have been attend- ing Dr. Lingle’s services at the church. Before going to Richmond to take his present position Dr. Lingle was pastor of the First Presbtyerian Church of Atlanta. THE AGONISTIC Che Agonistic Subscription Price, $1.25 per year in advance.

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.

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 TEMPLE PHOTOGRAPH STUDIO x The time has come to haye those Penny Pictures made. Re Oca f i } DD: ce os 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. Line-up: SOPHOMORE FRESHMEN Terrell Kane Sprinkle, M.

Lynn Moore and Louise Fowler have charge of the plans and they have arranged a pro- gram of tennis matches, basketball games, a posture contest and folk and aesthetic dancing. The schools which-are to be invited are: Marietta, Covington, Decatur, Commercial, Fulton, and Girls’ High, North Avenue Presbyterian School, Woodberry Hall and Washington Sem- inary. After the games there will be a picnic in honor of the contestants given by the Athletic Association. This day is not only a day given over to play for the sake of play for the visiting girls, but it is an op- portunity given to Agnes Scott girls too to see and to enter into the enjoy- ment of the day.

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. & Limbaugh & Stephenson Barber Shop HOTEL CANDLER We specialize in Ladies’ Haircuts Oe ee HE 9) em: W holesome refreshment Pure as sunligh vee teeterte The drink that’s a blend of pure products from nature—and nature’s finest flavors, gathered from nine different climes.

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.

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 in the cleverness of its character de- YEH!

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.

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. ———————— Seo Teele ole De ole oe ode ve oe ole ole ole ere lees oe ede rooted oede We Put New Life in Old Shoes TRILBY SHOE SHOP S.

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. a Se SS Se ole afer ne oe ode ole ole eke ote eee ede nde ole seeded ele ie ode dees SLAVENS BOOTERY 121 Alabama St., S.

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.

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. Susie Shorter—Mart Tower.

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. gram. 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.

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 ee SSS SE EE ——— SE Sea 8 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 by Eleanor 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.” May Day Cast Is Announced Group and Individual Prac- tices to Begin Soon.

Lee Norris on what it{ 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. Polly Stone Visits North Carolina Spends Week in Charlotte. Polly Stone is on a two weeks’ tour of North Carolina boosting Agnes Scott and the campaign. She will talk to Alumnae and high school groups at Asheville, Greensboro, Winston Salem, and Charlotte. At Greensboro Polly was joined by Peggy Lou Arm- strong and the attended a big alumnae get-together. Evidently, Polly is expecting great things of Charlotte, for she is spending an entire week there. We are well acquainted with Polly’s boosting abilities and are cer- tain she will return with many Tar | Heel pledges. THE AGONISTIC Che Agonistic Subscription Price, $1.25 per year in advance.

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! S.

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 school, and so we must congratulate ourselves.

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.

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.

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.

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 | feature of interest. ! ‘ (a Rs aE: whore nosis in_or aucomobdne trips Wilere poussivie si vim 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 conditions at the University he became thoroughly convinced that Dr. Hep- burn’s charges were exaggerated. ment.” The article is very fair-mind- ed, so anyone can pick a quarrel with it.

The others were awfully interesting too—I wish you could have heard 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. “Dis young man,” he said, - Bot to thinkin’ "bout his meanness an’ his mis’ry, an’ he tuk off his hat an’ frowed it away.

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.

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- Rererlies, faction..of all conrerned, poor lad, was being rushed by the Princess Amnesia (Geebee Knight) but he declared his undying devotion to See Less in the most touching, if ear-splitting, of notes. terrupted by the arrival of King Toot (Sarah Southerland), Amnesia’s 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. They were in- 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 danced for her, this being followed by a solo dance by Fatima. But the Princess, her mind on higher things, At the stealthy approach of See Less, her slave, she hid behind the throne to get the low- down on her. See Less was followed 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 terms.

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.” ~ PATTERAN When the gypsies love a road, they place at its end a little pile meeting during the winter. show that several thousand students have been reached in this way.

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 the community life which the student Why then should the student not take advantage of laboratory courses regarding them as minors in the college thus measur- ing his ability to lead, to show initia- must enter after college. | tive, to meet and work with others un- derstandingly and efficiently ?—by Ed- ward E. Nicholson, dean of Student Affairs, in The Minnesota Daily. Y. W.C. A. 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. more particularly in The Freshmen will have charge of Vespers this, Sunday, May 12th, which will be on Inman porch.

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.

(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.” | OE) (| | | 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 history, international law or interna- 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, ete. of stones, a Romany Patteran, that other gypsies may know that 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.

SUNG | TO LARGE AUDIENCE! (Continued from Page 1) The last act opened with a gruesome scene at the dungeon. Two bats were flitting around a row of mummies whom they unceremoniously unwrap- ped, uncovering their bleached of whitened bones.

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- did leadership the musicians rendered all sorts of selections.

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. meer endef eon alone ofeoeferentenfesleofesiertoriente tents $e “Eat a Sweet Instead of a Lucky” Agnes Scott Sandwiches—Sodas STARNES 142 E.

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! * Leonore Gardner to Be Married The college community is interested to learn of the engagement of Leonore Gardner to Mr. Gilbert Field, son of Dr. Field, who is dean at Tech.

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 Seniors Plan for | Coming Year To Fill Many Important Po- sitions. “Yet once more ye laurels, and once more Ye myrtle brown with ivy never BOATS .. oc 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.

Everybody was 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.

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.

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. spent several days at the col-| ‘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.
