JUNIOR PLAY "THE AMAZONS'"
PHILADELPHIA YELLOWS DEFEAT
*     VARSITY IN FAST GAME
Quick Team   Play of Yellows Gains
Them Victory
The Philadelphia Yellows succeeded in de-
feating the Varsity in a very close- game
Saturday morning with the score of 4-3.
Whether the new brown tunics kept Var-
sity from running easily or whether the
skilfull kicking of Mrs. Krumbhaar was too
effective for the Brown, the Philadelphia
Yellows succeeded in gaining and holding a
lead.
The first half opened with the attack in
front of the enemies' goal. There was a
good deal of falling on both sides, due to the
slippery ground. W. Dodd, '26, and F. Jly,
'26, passed well in to p. Lee, '26, and shot
for goal often. It was the fact of Mrs.
Krumbhaar's superb playing and not Var-
sity's weak attack that kept the score down.
J. Seeley, '27, and S. Walker, '26, stopped
well, but were unable to prevent the pretty
goal, thc Yellows made on a comer. The
half ended with a long dribble down the
field by B. Loines, '28* who shot the ball in
and ahead for D. Lee, '25, to push into goal,
followed by a pretty score of the Yellows,
the ball being stopped in the air and flicked
in.
The play increased in speed in the second
half. The Yellows passed well and rapidly,
no one person keeping the ball. Varsity
fought hard but in spite of another goal,
were defeated.                          \*.

GREEK CITY OF HEMER0SC0PEI0N
DISCOVERED IN SPAIN
Dr. Carpenter Finds Proof for Theory
In Pottery Found
"Find College Youth Sound" New York
Times headline.
There are those who think he's nothing
but �F. P. A.   New York World.
The discovery of the Greek city of
Hemeroscopeion in Spain was the subject
of a lecture by Professor Rhys Carpenter,
Professor of Classical Archaeology, to the
Archaeological Society on November 7.
The meaning of the word Hemerosco-
peion, "a day's lookout," and Strabo's
description of the coastline as a splendid
place for "buccaneering," first led Dr.
Carpenter to the site, a tall cliff and a bay
admirably situated for Greek ships. Then
his theory was confirmed by the finding
of pottery, the clue for which the archae-
ologist always'digs, lining thc trenches
made by a Spanish gentleman for his
villa. The pottery was clearly Greek of
the fourth and sixth centuries.
The fifth century of which no traces
were found, was the period of Greek
weakness and Carthaginian supremacy in
the western Meditteranean. Another im-
portant piece of evidence discovered by
Dr. Carpenter, is the resemblance in the
construction of the faces of the "Chats-
worth Apollo" and the marble "lady of
Elche." The former was found in
Smyrna, thc latter in a small place near
the site of Hemeroscopeion, and both can
be connected with the Phoceans who were
very active in the silver and tin trade which
took the Greeks to Spain.
Other details of evidence support the
belief that Hemeroscopeion has been found.
Excavation would be particularly inter-
esting because there is said to have been
in the city a great temple to Artemis.
MR. VAN DUSEN TO LEAD
CHAPEL
Mr. Henry P. Van Dusen will preach in
Chapel, Sunday evening, November 23. Mr,
Van Dusen is the assistant of Dr. Henry
Sloane Coffin, D.D., of the Madison Avenue
Presbyterian Church of New York city, and

KNOWLEDGE CANNOT BE GIVEN
CHALLENGES DR. MEIKLEJOHN
Daily Preparations and Lectures Poor
Substitute for Reading
"Only insofar as we can get our young
people to have intellectual independence
is there any hope for us," proclaimed Dr.
Meiklcjohn in chapel last Wednesday
night.
"At present the chief characteristic of
college graduates is that they do not
read." The habit of reading and of con-
sideration' of what we read, will, he be-
lieves, be taught by the new curriculum
he proposes. This curriculum will appear
in the January Century and may not be
printed until then,                                A
From out of tfic great body of literature
and records, the student will discover
knowledge for himself. The teacher will
not teach; he too will study and he will
give the student the feeling of how study-
ing may be done.
"In general," he said, before speaking of
his curriculum, "the decision about what
should be studied and how, should be
made by thc faculty. They have had ex-
perience. On the subject of the curricu-
lum, thc opinion of the students is always
interesting, sometimes important, but
never decisive. If you really want to im-
prove your college, the first thing to dp is
to study.
"All members of the community should
study thc same thing, thc same intellectual
piece of work. Special studies should be
understood as phases of the common
study, which might well be: how can
America be made into a real democracy?
"We must stop trying �to make the
knowledge of the professor available to
the student in lectures. 'Knowledge can-
not be given."
SELF GOVERNMENT CONFERENCE
HELD AT VASSAR LAST WEEK
Relation of Self Government to Educ-
ation Greatly Stressed
NEWS  IN  BRIEF*
1926 has elected the following cap-
tains: Archery, Millicent Pierce; ap-
paratus, Martha Talcott; water polo,
Winifred Dodd.
(Specially contributed by I.. Barber, '25,
and H. Hough, '25. delegates to the Student
Government Conference at V-assar.)
rneJaanuai conference of the Women's
Intercollegiate Association for Student
Government, attended by delegates from
sixty colleges in the East and South, was
held at  Vassar College last week-end.
The discussion in the three sessions was
glncral rather than specific, dealing with
the fundamental principles of student
government. Such a discussion was, of
course, interspersed with particulars, since
the opinion of each college was neces-
sarily based on its own experience. These
details were interesting from a statistical
point of view: Bryn Mawr, for example,
is the only college which does not penal-
iztyby deprivation of social privileges.^
The three main headings for the general
discussions, under which the minor topics
were grouped, were student government
in relation to education, to student opin-
ion, and to the law. Its educational value
was the subject of the opening address,
given by President Aydelotte, of Swarth-
morc. This topic was further discussed
by, thc conference in relation to officers
and to individual members, and It was
felt, on the whole, that it was of sufficient
value to justify the large amount of time
spent upon it.
The majority of colleges have student
government, some, * such as Wellesley.
have joint faculty-student, while Mt. Hol-
yoke is the only representative of commu-
nity government, in which faculty, stu-
dents and employees all have a part. It
was generally felt that faculty advice and
co-operation is desirable, but that the
methods and degree of co-operation must
necessarily differ according to the size and
individual needs of the college.
