"fa) enter into religious life" was the
plea put forward by Dr. George A. John-
son Ross, Professor of Homiletics at Col-
umbia University, in his Baccalaureate Ser-
mon on Sunday, May 30.
"There are two great fields open to those
who are going out from college; that of
science and research, and that of service
to Jesus. The opportunities in this latter
field are greater than ever before, for four
reasons:
In the first place, this generation can
study religion in a spirit of detachment, free
from embarrassment or personal prejudice,
quite different from previous generations.
Two streams, Greek thought and Hebrew
passion, have made our civilization what it
is. The Greek legacy was conveyed objec-
tively to the last generation, but the Hebrew
came only through the Church with its per-
sonal appeals and conscience stabs. The
�result was a disturbance of the equilibrium
of judgment, they were over-classicized,
over-paganized.   An extract from Lord Ma-

COURSE CHANGE NOTICE
MUST BE SENT TO OFFICE
Dean Manning asks that all students
who decide during the summer that
they wish to .take some course for
which they are not now registered
should write to her office and explain
exactly how they wish their courses
arranged. In case the letter is re-
ceived before September 15 there will
be no fine for the change. Such stu-
dents must report at the office of the
Dean in the fall in order to obtain- new
registration slips.
UNDERGRADUATES PROVE THAT
THERE ARE FEW FACULTY HOMERS
TEN CLASSES MARCH IN ATHLETIC PARADE
FROM PEMBROKE ARCH TO GYMNASIUM
Close Baseball Game Stars Dr. Widder
and H. Guiterman, '28
They called it "baseball"�the game at
which the students beat the faculty on
Tuesday afternoon, June 1. Whatever it
was, it was a very  thrilling game.
To start things off well, Dr. Fenwick,
the Faculty captain, hit a three-bagger,
which was soon followed by one of Dr.
Widder's famous long hits. Then the
student team came in and managed to get
two runs, in spite of the fly which Dr.
Bullock caught. �
The second inning was full of excite-
ment. Two bases were full when Dr.
Widder came to bat. His first strike sent
the ball off into the bushes, giving him
time to come home and then reach first
base again. He called it a run and a
third, which gave rise to a dispute as to
how even a mathematician could get a
third of a run out of four bases.
H. Guiterman, '28, starred for the stu-
dent team catching flies and making home
runs, besides doing all the pitching. E.
Haines, '27, also played well, catching one
spectacular fly in the third inning. *
The arguments with the umpire in-
creased, and the advice from the. side
lines; cries of "this isn't tennis" and "act
like Hindenburg" compensated for the
constant fumbling during the middle of
the game. In the sixth inning an orange
was introduced into the play, but when it
was substituted for the ball, the result
was disastrous for the Faculty. A game
of puss-in-the-corner took place between
first and second base, but in spite of the
combined efforts of Dr. Bullock and Dr.
Hart, H. Guiterman was able to make her
base.
At the end of the sixth inning the score
was 16-11 in favor of the Faculty, but
then Dr. Bissell and Dr. Widder had to
leave, and this loss so crippled their team
that in spite of Mrs. Diez's pitching, the
students were able to get six runs in the

Solomon in All His Glory Was Not

(Specially contributed by -V. Perera, ',28,

Miss Park has granted the students of
Bryn Mawr an art course for next year.
This, however, is not as optimistic a
statement as it would seem. We are con-
fronted with the task not only of run-
ning the class ourselves, but also of
financing it.
After the exhibition of the Bryn Mawr
Art Club a petition for practical art was
presented to the President. Miss King
was especially enthusiastic about the plan
[,/nd suggested that eventually a lecture
course be established on the technique of
art with supplementary work in the form
of laboratory. Much to our surprise the
project met with approval. It was too
late in the year to procure an instructor
for such a position, but we were given
permission to prove our interest and abil-
ity by conducting- an extra-curriculum
course next year under the supervision
of the History of Art Department.
At a meeting of the club it was decided
to have a two-hour class weekly. But
nothing can be done without sufficient
funds to pay for instruction and mate-
rials. We must depend on the friends of
the college, as well as the students them-
selves for help. With such a start shall
we allow this chance to slip away? Our
enthusiasm is at its height; where is
yours?

1905     WINS    COSTUME     PRIZE
What song the sirens sang is unknown;
equally unknown are the songs that ten
classes of Bryn Mawr sang as they
marched in procession to the gymnasium
on Athletic Day, Monday, May 81, The
band began it, playing some simple and
stirring tune; then followed the returning
alumnae. 1904, 1905, 1906, 1907. 1924, 1925,
and then the present undergraduates,
each group singing, some a ditty peculiar
to it. unrecognizable to the reviewing line
on Taylor steps, unrecognizable to them-
selves, one suspected.
No less strange and unexplained were
the costumes worn. 1904 was the most
picturesque and interesting of the groups,
wearing the clothes they wore in college.
Purple linen suits, flower garden hats
perched over perilous cliffs of hair, lacy
dresses with ascetic boned necks, trailing
skirts and ample bustles, simple athletic
togs consisting of long starched sleeve
blouses and corijuroy skirts of the tradi-
tional varsity brown, cut daringly high to
expose the toe and daringly low to ex-
pose the � collar bone�all these made a
vivid impression on the undergraduate
mind.   �
Next came 1905. a large and enthusi-
astic body in red caps and gowns, nicely
calculated to run in the rain which fell in-
termittently during the morning. To
them was awarded the prize for the best
costumes.
1,900, their freshmen, were many strong,
too, wearing blue capes, white hats with
blue trimmings, and carrying blue Japa-
nese parasols. A sprinkling of 1907, in
green smocks, attended, and a few of
19LM.  not in costume.
