INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION MEETS AT
BRYN  MAWR  FOR   DISCUSSION
Commission Made of Working Girls and
Students From Four Colleges
The third meeting of the Industrial Com-
mission of college and working girls took
place in Bryn Mawr last Saturday at three-
thirty o'clock, in the Christian Association
library.
There are eight members in each dele-
gation. The working girls are chosen from
plants in Philadelphia, and the college stu-
dents are from Temple, Swarthmore and
Bryn Mawr and the University of Penn-
sylvania. The present delegates from Bryn
Mawr are S. McDaniel, '23, and M. Fairies,
'24. In the meeting on Saturday the Com-
mission discussed "What the working girl
can contribute to the college student and
vice versa." They decided that the work-
ing girl can impress the reality of indus-
trial, conditions at f\rst' hand, a sense of
responsibility for an education, and the
college student's duty as a consumer and
^citizen to improve working conditions and
to mold public opinion. The college student
could, they thought, show the value of an
education, give knowledge of the theory of
industry and emphasize the duty of bring-
ing up industrial standards.
After the discussion, the delegations had
tea in the Radnor sitting room. This is
the first meeting of the Commission at Bryn
Mawr. The next meeting will be in three
weeks,  at   Swarthmore   Cortege.
English Composition this year. Miss Dunn
will use this Fellowship to study at the
University of London for her degree as
Doctor of Letters. The Travelling Fellow-
ship for 1921-1922 went to Leona Christine
Gabel, of Syracuse, New York. Additions
have been made by the same donor to the
European Fellowships of Marian C. Kleps,
A. B., 1916, and Eva A. Bryne, A. B., 1916,

use of these fellowships.

First   Intercollegiate  Fencing   Match
Among Women's Colleges
Winning 6 bouts out of a total of 9, the
women's team of the University of Penn-
sylvania defeated Bryn Mawr in a fencing
match held in the gytnnasium Saturday
afternoon. This is the first inter-collegiate
fencing match in the history of women's
colleges in the United States. Both teams
were coached by Mr. Terrone, of the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania, for" an equal
amount of time.
The Br.yn Mawr team played almost
entirely on the offensive, pressing their
opponents with series of strong, quick
attacks. The openings afforded by the con-
tinual attacks made by Bryn Mawr were
taken advantage of by the Pennsylvania
team, which played a defensive, but steady,
game. B. Warburg, '21, was quick, her
sudden attacks being disconcerting, while
her retreats carried her beyond the reach
of the opposing foil. The feature of the
match was the bout between Miss Warburg
and Miss Masland, the former � having -
remarkable time, and the latter keeping her
line perfectly. A Nicoll, '22, showed
much skill in .her well-planned and swift
attacks, relying on these rather than on her
parries, which were at times slow. More
cautious fencing was done by H. I. Murray,
'21, who, however, was surpassed in wrist
work by her opponent.
A. Nicoll, '22, and H. I. Murray, '21, were
substitutes for H. Hill, '21, and M Speer,
'22, while the judges were:
Dr. RoboU-Hanse, assistant Professor of
Biology at the University of Pennsylvania,
and sabre champion of Pennsylvania, was
referee.     *
.Judges were: Miss Applebee, Miss
Dowd, Mr. C. Rhoads and Mr. S. Brown,
of the University of Pennsylvania.

MAY DAY OBSERVED GAILY  IN RAIN
Hypothetical Sun Greeted by Hymn
No observing dampening of the May
Day v spirit resulted from the chilling
drizzle that fell upon the Seniors singing
to greet the sun from Rockefeller Tower
last Friday morning, and upon May-pole
dancing, revelling, and-Senior hoop roll-
ing afterwards.
The winding of 1921's May-pole on
Denbigh Green was one of the events, all
classes gathering around the dancers to
sing, and to catch sight .of E. Taylor,
president of the , Senior Class, who
crowned as Queen of the May, stood
with President Thomas under the May-
pole.
President Thomas, after a short speech
to the Seniors, to which the Senior pres-
ident replied, presented Miss Taylor with
the "lucky cats" of China on a necklace.
