VIOLET   OAKLEY,   MURAL   PAINTER,
WILL SPEAK  HERE  FRIDAY
ChoMn to Do Mural Painting* in Senate
Chamber at Harriaburg
"The Idea of Illumination Within
Books and Upon Walls" will be the sub-
ject of Miss Violet Oakley's talk in
Taylor Hall at 8.00 P. M. next Friday
under the auspices of the Art Club. Ad-
mission for the students of the college is
free;   for outsiders, fifty cents.
Winner of the Medal of Honor at the
Panama Pacific Exhibition and of med-
als from the Pennsylvania Academy and
from the Architectural League, Miss
Oakley was chosen to do the mural
paintings for the Senate Chamber at
Harrisburg, as being the most able
mural painter in America since Edwin
Abbey. The first five of the nine paint-
ings, which compose the "Creation and
Preservation of the Union" series, were
unveiled in Harrisburg  in February, 1917.
Of Miss Oakley's art the Public Ledger
writes: "Her work owes nothing to any
inspiration and suggestion other than
those of Miss Oakley's own creative
imagination under the stimulus of her
extensive studies in this country and
abroad, for the greatest artistic achieve-
ment of the kind that a woman has un-
dertaken.�The Harrisburg paintings are
the most significant and beautiful mural
decorations to be seen in America.�Into
her pictures with marvelous insight and
unsparing endeavor for historical fidelity
the artist has wrought the vivid reflec-
tion of times that tried men's souls and
found them not wanting in heroic qual-
ity and fiber."
Miu Oakley Prove* Able Speaker
Governor Brumbaugh, speaking at the
unveiling of the decorations, said: "Miss
Oakley, with unity in her soul and with
fine feeling and commanding skill has
here given expression to this great
philosophical ideal of government. The
thought that thrilled Spinoza, that car-
ried William Penn to this country, is
here vividly, adequately portrayed."
Replying to Governor Brumbaugh's
speech at the unveiling, Miss Oakley
proved herself not only an artist, but a
philosopher and an inspiring speaker. "A
profound wonder overwhelmed me as I
learned more and more of the great
positive constructive principle informing
the founders of Pennsylvania's first gov-
ernment," she said. "It can never be
adequately described, much less under-
stood by any negative statements as to
what these early friends did not do.�
I found instead some of the truths con-
cerning the light that was in them. It
will be when spiritual light again floods
the hearts of men as dazzlingly that the
great ones shall appear who are to re-
construct   this  battered  globe."
Miss Oakley has studied at the Penn-
sylvania Academy under Howard Pyle
and Cecilia Beaux and in Paris under
Amand-Jean, Collin and Lazar. Her
home is in Chestnut Hill, where she is
a neighbor of Jessie Willcox  Smith.

VARSITY DOWNS ALL-PHILADELPHIA IN HARD FIGHT
Wins Final Game of Season
With Miss Townsend, Philadelphia,
and M. Faries, Bryn Mawr, sharing scor-
ing honors, Varsity defeated All-Phila-
delphia, 6-5, in a thrilling battle last
Saturday before 300 spectators, among
whom was President Thomas. The
teams were so evenly matched that the
outcome of the game was doubtful up
to the last minute of play.
The Philadelphia players started off
with a series of rushes, ending in a goal
by Miss Townsend, center forward,
after a quick pass in from right wing.
Throughout the game Miss Townsend
played with dash and cleverness, scoring
4 of her team's 5 goals and covering
the entire field with irresistible speed.
Bryn Mawr scored next from a long
shot by V. Corse from the edge of the
circle shoved in by C. Bickley. After a
hard shot across by M. Tyler, right in-
side, M. Faries ran the length of the
field, cleverly evading the backs, for
Bryn Mawr's second tally. Miss Town-
send then added two more goals for
Philadelphia, while M. Faries evened the
score with a tally for Varsity, bringing
the total to 3-3 at half time. During this
half the Philadelphia forwards out-ran
Bryn Mawr and showed a skill in evad-
ing the backs which was lacking in the
Brown team. V. Corse, center half for
Bryn Mawr, was clever at intercepting
and clearing, while M. Faries, on left
wing, backed by the strong defense of
F. Bliss, played a consistently brilliant
game, showing speed and good stick
work.                         \
At the opening of the second half it
looked as though Philadelphia would
walk away with the game. Miss Town-
send, carrying the ball down again and
again, completely baffled the Brown de-
fense, scoring one goal herself and |
ing to Miss McMahon. right wing, for a
second. Bryn Mawr, however, ralhing

Saturday, gave a fitting climax to a vic-
torious season, in which Bryn Mawr
won in six games, scoring a total of 49
goals as against 14 scored against it.

Curtain Song Adapted  From Old
Elizabethan Song by Shakespeare
Luring the Freshmen with irresistible
songs and charming costumes, 1921
transported them from an ultra-colle-
giate atmosphere into an enchanting
land of mediaevalism in the skit at Sen-
ior reception last Saturday night.
As the lights went up for the first
scene, "Any Freshman," portrayed by
M. P. Kirkland, was shown talking to
an invisible room-mate. She settled
down to write a theme on mediaevalism,
exclaiming stoutly that she was not a
bit sleepy because she was "so used to
late hours at home, you know." Soon,
however, she fell asleep and dreamed a
dream, in which a funny old Queen, a
ludicrous Jester, a Headsman and other
characters played leading parts.
The second scene revealed a mediaeval
court in full blast, with the Jester, ad-
mirably done by A. Weston, trying
vainly to amuse the Queen. Various peo-
ple were brought in to entertain her and
"Any Freshman," who was a newcomer
at the court. A band of wandering
gypsies sang and danced delightfully to
"The Raggle Tagglc Gypsies�Oh,"
while Mr. De Model-School, Three
Wise Astrologers and the Headsman
performed in turn. In the midst of the
revelry the clanging of a bell was heard,
the lights went out, the court disap-
peared and "Any Freshman" awoke to
find a fire-drill in full swing.
Curtain Song Exceptionally Good
The costuming was perfect, and with
the soft lighting gave a mediaeval set-
ting which was admirably carried out by
the music and songs. The curtain song,
which was adapted from an old Eliza-
hethean song, "Blow, Blow, Thou Win-
ter Wind," and the song of the gypsies
were particularly good. The skit as a
whole, however, did not live up to the
high standard set by the artistic effect.
The idea was original, but the lines were
hackneyed and dull and not up to the
level of the rest of the production. The
cast was:
Any Freshman..........M. P.  Kirkland
Lady of the Court.............M.   Foot
Duenna.......................H.   Stone
Another Duenna...........M. Morrison
Jester........................A.  Weston
Master of the Revels........J. Lattimer
