MISS MAUDE ROYDEN SPEAKS
TWICE AT BRYN MAWR
Power of Liberal Education Subject
of Saturday Talk
1 The debt which we, as college graduates,
will vwe to America, where only one-fifth
of one per cent, of the women have, the
opportunity of a university education, and
the possibility of repaying it, was the sub-
ject of Miss Maude Hoyden's talk in Tay-
lor Hall on Saturday morning.
"Education ought,, to make students
understand the point of view of other
races and classes, giving the power of de-
taching themselves from national prejudice
and jealousy. College should teach people
to use their brains. It should not special-
ize women, b'ut make them more adaptable.
A college graduate should understand what
real scholarship means, its exquisite love
of truth, its capacity to look at things from
a distance, and to think honestly, realizing
what part of thought is emotion, and what
part prejudice.
"We must also learn to understand the
point of view of other people," said Miss
Royden, "and see the need of other indi-
viduals, other races and civilizations. We,
more fortunate than thousands who have
not only been denied intellectual develop-
ment, but even the desire to have intellec-
tual   development,   should   use   our   oppor-

MAUDE   ROYDEN   PREACHES  TO
LARGE AUDIENCE  ON SUNDAY
In  Order to  Understand Christ We  Must
First  Love  Him
Taking as her text the verses from the
First Epistle of John, that "God is love,
and he that dwelleth in love dwellcth in
God and God in him," Miss Maude Royden
preached to a large audience in the Gym-
nasium last Sunday night.
The Gospel of John is known as the
greatest gospel of the four, !>cgan Miss
Royden, but in order to understand and
love Christ we must reaa< tne other three
first. People instinctively teach children
out of these first three gospels, especially
St. Luke's, in which Christ is made the
most lovable. There is something extraor-
dinarily human about St. Luke's Christ.
"I wish we could dismiss the conception
of Christ given by modern art," Miss Roy-
den continued. He is presented as a weak,
effeminate creature, drooping and senti-
mental. The mosaics of the old churches
in Sicily give a much more wonderful
picture of him, almost terrifying in His
majesty of power. Stories about great
men show what they really were. Just so
the story of Christ calming the waves tells
what sort of a man he was. The stories
of how Christ healed the sick immediately,
never waiting until a more convenient time,
show his extraordinary sensitiveness, which,
combined with his courage, makes it im-
possible for us not to love Him. He knew
the evil in riien as well as the good and
yet did not  despise them.
Miss Royden stated that she believes that
it is absolutely impossible to study the
personality of Christ and not love Him.
If  wc love God,  God is1 within us.    The

Supper Picnic in Gymnasium
The News takes pleasure in an-
nouncing that, as a Tesult of the
Freshman Competition, Delia Smith,
[ '26, has been taken on the Editorial
Board as assistant editor.
Dressed in varied shades of green, the
Seniors celebrated the" fourth birthday
of their class on St. Patrick's Day by a
supper, inviting the whole College to a
dance in the Gymnasium afterward.
1923 held their picnic in the basement of
the Gymnasium, without any light except
the candles on a huge gre*u birthday cake.
Birthday greetings were given by K.
Strauss, Senior President.
During the dance there was a short
interlude, in which M- Faries, '24, chair-
man of Bates House Committee, promised
to show the dancers "something they had
ifcver seen before." A well-groomed nurse
in spotless aprons stepped on to the plat-
form, followed in a few moments by a band
of noisy children, supposedly arriving for
a vacation at Bates House. Greetings over,
each child~~was carefully inspected and
scrubbed. Supper, songs and bed-time
followed each other in rapid succession
until the row of over-grown children, in
long white night gowns, were safely
tucked in bed. Only a few seconds were
they allowed to rest, for on the point of
three they all sat up, announcing In
unison that the Financial Drive for Bates
House was to be held in the following
week and that
"Teacher says we gotta hava thousand
dollars,
That  all  them  fine  bright  Bryn  Mawr
scholars
Are having drive for us next week.
Gee!   I hope they get it 'queek.'"
DOROTHY   BURR   EUROPEAN
FELLOW
Dorothy Burr, of Philadelphia, wfiO
was awarded the European Fellowship
for 1922, According to an announce-
ment made by President Park in chapel
last Friday morning, has never re-
ceived a grade below credit. Her
average, is the highest in the class, and
with 279 points to her credit she will
be given her degree Summa- Cum
Laude at her graduation this spring.
With the" exception of Edith Melchor,
who is also graduating this year, no
student has received this degree since
1915.

Miss Hill's School, Philadelphia, and
by private tuition. She is planning to
continue her study at the American
School of Sculpture in Athens.
VARSITY   STILL   UNDEFEATED
ROUTS  PITTSBURGH  48-17
Remak Scores 42 Points During Season's
Biggest  Victory
Varsity overwhelmingly defeated the Uni-
versity of Pittsburgh last Saturday morn-
ing with a score of 48-17, the largest mar-
gin of victory that they have had this year.
The team played a better game than they
have ever done before, and kept their pres-
ence of miod and accurate judgment in
spite of the greatest excitement on the part
of their opponents and the side-lines. Pres-
ident Park made her first appearance at a
college basketball game on this occasion;
the running track was at least twice as
crowded with students as usual. Miss
Preston and Miss Voorhees, both from
Temple University, were referee and umpire
respectively.
Pittsburgh played a "fast, bounce-and-
shoot" game against Varsity's "slower,
more accurate over-head work," said Miss
Voorhees, the Temple coach, with the re-
sult that the Bryn Mawr guards, who were
quicker even than their opponent forwards,
blocked their plays almost every time. The
forwards, H. Rice '23, calculating and per-
fectly impassive, and C. Remak '25, always
ready and quick to receive a pass, and in-
fallible in her shooting, made a combina-
tion against which Pittsburgh was abso-
lutely impotent. Rice's coolness toned
down the whole- team; and her generous
passing to Remak, which resulted in the
latter's almost mechanic^ basket from
any position or part of the field, rolled up
the score at a rate of 3-1. Remak's quick,
splendid game outdid' all her past per-
formances.
"Your center (F. Martin, '23) is one of
the best players 1 have ever seen," said
Miss Voorhees. "She gets the jump al-
most every time, and she and her side-
center, E. Howe '24, block all the plays that
try to get through." Of M. Palache '24,
who went in for Howe in the last quarter,
she said, "She stops the passes that come
in her field and sends them on like light-
ning straight to her forwards."
"The guards," Miss Voorhees continued,

DRIVE FOR BATES HOU8E TO BEGIN
THIS WEEK
$1,000   Needed   to   Continue   Work   This
Summer
To enable Bates House to continue its
work this summer, said a member of the
Bates House Committee, the College must
contribute $1000 to tke drive which is being
held this week.
Bates House, run in order to give a two
weeks' vacation to children from the slums
of New York, has l>een partially supported
by Bryn Mawr for ten years. Until two
years ago it was run jointly with the
Spring Street Settlement House, and with
Mrs. Bates, who kept up the work in
Memory of J. Roswell Bates, former min-
ister of the Spring Street Church New
York, who first interested Bryn Mawr in
the work. Since this plan was unsatisfac-
tory, Bryn Mawr now runs it independently
for two months, and the Spring Street
Settlement House'for the remainder of the
season.
Expenses were cut to a minimum the
first year, but a number of Bryn Mawr
workers felt that the children did not get
enough food. It was then decided to
make $2800 the minimum budget for Bates.
Last year it was necessary to substitute
cards for flowers sent to the casts of Glee
Club and Senior Play giving the money to
Bates House in order to raise the requisite
amount
The committee is endeavoring to raise
during the week the full $1000, needed in
addition to the amount already pledged,
since it is one of the very few drives of
the Christian Association this year.
