VARSITY AGAIN DEFEATS
BASKETBALL OPPONENTS
Sweetbriar Prov es Most Able Op-
ponent Bryn Mawr Has Met,
This Year
REMAK SCORES FIFTEEN GOALS
Confronted by Sweetbrier, the best bas-
ketball team which has opposed it this year,
Varsity won another victory last Saturday
afternoon, with a score of 36-26.
The Bryn Mawr team played a far
quicker game, and their passing was much
more accurate than last week; all the
players showed a decided improvement.
Though F. Martin's opponent could out-
jump her at center, she ftnd M, Palachc
maintained their usual rapid run of
passes in the face of skillful and deter-
mined opposition. C Remak,,'25, and H.
Rice, '23, worked well together, passing
intelligently and keeping the ball in their
territory. The ball once in Rcmak's
hands, it was almost impossible to prevent
her from scoring. The guards* had the
hardest positions to fill, for Sweetbriar's
forwards were extraordinarily good, and
their shooting from a great distance as ac-

SENIORS SUBMERGE LIGHT
BLUE IN FIRST OF FINALS
Ward   and   Rice   Make   Invincible
Team at Long, Hard Shooting
Playing to a man as if inspired, the
Seniors overwhelmingly defeated 1924
with a score of 13-1 in the first game of the
nnals   Monday afternoon.
The team, a solid arTd infallible unit in
the pool, totally eclipsed the efforts of their
opponents, and each individual play tran-
scended, the preceding-*mc in its lightning
quickness and accuracy. 1924 was slow
and confused. They passed as a rule into
the very arms of the" enemy. The for-
wards scarcely ever escaped their guards,
their shooting was weak and erratic.
Though the long low passes of H. Rice
and J. Ward, '23, were most difficult to
stop, they were left unguarded too often.
F. Martin surpassed even herself in the
goal, and V. Corse and F. Mattison inter-
cepted evety play that escaped H. Rice.
A. Smith and D. Mcserve with great spirit
and almost as much skill peppered K.
VanBibber with shots, and drawing upon
themselves the attention of the Blue de-
fense, who left Rjcc and Ward free to
make one beautiful shot after another.
Line-up for Monday:
1923�J.   Ward******,   D.   Meserve*    A.

Green Wins Second Preliminary
Figriting with great determination *and
spirit* but overpowered by the superior tac-
tics of their opponents, 1925's first team
went down to defeat at the hands of the
Seniors, who won the final game of the
preliminary match by a score of 8-5, last
Thursday night.
The Red guards worked hard, endeavor-
ing to block the Senior passes, but could
not stop the swift onrush. H. Rice's long
shots to D. Meserve, who shot the ball
into the goal, proved most effective, and the
team play between them was impossible to
break up. During the next half the Soph-
omores put a terrific amount of energy
into   both   their   defense   and   attack.     I..

THE  DESIGN  FOR  THE  LIBRARY AT   LOUVAIN
TUTENKHAMON'S TOMB MAY
THROW LIGHT ON 18th DYNASTY
Dr.  Carpenter   Explains   Importance
of Heretic Pharaoh's Reign
Speaking in Chapel on Monday morning
on Lord Carnavon's discoveries at Luxor,
Dr. Rhys Carpenter, Professor of Archae-
ology, strongly emphasized the significance
of Tutenkhamon's reign and the probable
light which the paintings and other records
in the tomb would throw on Egyptian his
tory. Dr. Carpenter's speech was as
follows:
Tutenkhamon was the last of the heretics
and was himself an enforced renegade back
to orthodoxy. His father-in-law, Akhna
ton, has often been considered the most
remarkable figure in' Egyptian history.
Coming to the throne of a vast empire
which stretched from the Sudan to the
Kuphratcs, he deliberately renounced im-
perialism, militarism, the traditional polit-
ical life of a Pharaoh, and the state relig-
ion of .his predecessors. He turned away
from the great city of Thebes to build for
himself and his court a new city all their
own, and there he retired to enjoy and
encourage art, to devote himself to his
family, and most of all to spread his
heretic faith in a One Eternal God, mani-
fest to man as the disk of the sun, the
source of life. The new faithjiwas car-
ried as far as Palestine and there may
have vitally and permanently affected the
Jewish religion. But in Egypt it had no
career and barely outlived its ardent and
youthful expounder, the king Akhnaton.
Tutenkhamon was the last to uphold it,
and he found it wise to change his name
from Tutenkhaton to Tutenkhamon as
public proof that he had^ turned away
from the worship of the sundisk (Aton)
to the traditional sites of Amon. He also
seems to have changed his royal residence
and moved back to Thebes, leaving the
brand new city of heresy to moulder and
be forgotten.
The hope of learning more about thi-
extraordinary religious movement in which
heresy was so soon followed by apostasy,
is one of the sources of especial interest
in the newly found tomb.
Tutenkhamon belongs to the XVIIIth
Oynasty and must have died shortly be
fore 1350 B. C. In those days the Phar-
aohs had given up the practice of having
themselves buried in the heart of huge
stone pyramids and instead were laid away
in rooms cut deep in the cliffs of the Nile-
border.    There,  with   all   the   rich accom-

FRESHMEN ACT HARLEQUINADE*..
A gay and diverting combination of
drama and the dance was presented by the
Jifniors last Saturday evening for the en-
tertainment of 1026. Four skits, preceded
and followed by dancing to. music played
by H. Cornish and Y. Sabin, '25, wrung
shouts of glee f rom 4hc audience,, and re-
freshments were served in the intermission,
�served even, with a lavishness without
precedent, to the brooding Sophomores on
the   running   track.
At nine o'clock the dancers gathered
with the high expectations characteristic
'of first-nighr-ers l>cfore an imaginary bell
of foot-lights. Nor were they disappointed.

To help rebuild a library which has con-
tributed immensely to past scholarship, and
which, with our assistance, may be re-
stored for the advancement of future
scholars, should appeal to us as college
students. An appeal for the support of
this project, the rebuilding of the Louvain
Library, destroyed by the (icrmans in 1914.
has been made to the colleges, universities,
preparatory and public schools of America,
as representing the scholastic world of this
country. What could be more appropriate
than our joining to give to fellow students
an inspiration for intellectual work as
well as a much-needed place in which to
lodge the books, many of them ^priceless,
which for lack of a library are lying about,
stored in dusty crates and boxes?
Next Monday, February 26, there will
be a drive under the chairmanship of C.
Kemak, '25, to raise money for our con-
tribution toward the restoration of the
library. The faculty have already contrib-
uted $65. This year it has been the aim
of both the Christian and Undergraduati
Associations to make as few financial de-
mands as possible upon the student body.
It is hoped by having fewer drives that
those which arc organized will be more
profitable for the interests involved.

Former   Students   Spread   Publicity
Among Industrial Workers
STUDENT   CURRICULUM    BOARD
MEETING  TWO  HOURS  DAILY
More time for individual work, written
and oral reports, and elasticity of the'
schedule are suggested in most of the rec-
ommendations handed in to the student
curriculum Committee, which has lieen
meeting on an average of two hours a day
since it  was  formed after Midyears.
Protests against scheduled quizzes have
l>een abundant, while frequent drop quizzes
were advocated, according to F. Martin,
'28, chairman of the committee. Elasticity
of the schedule by having classes in elective
subjects at eight o'clock, and from two to
