With tiie close of the first semester the
Bryn Mawr Had Cross Committee has
sent fU'l.l:: to the American Red Cross,
to the Belgian Relief $!*!�."�8, and to the
Committee of Mercy 1100.00. During the
next semester the committee hope- to
raise about 1500 more from the class
plays and other entertainments. This
will'make about $1000 collected from the
College, or $3 a person. The figures
themselves speak for the good work of
the committee.
The annual meeting of the Alumna As
social ion was held in the Chapel on Sat-
urday, January 30th. The president. Cor
nelia Halsey Kellogg. 1900, presided, ami
there wart ODe hundred and eighty mem-
bers of the association present. Every
class was represented except "90 and !'4
The Class of '06 had the largest repre-
sentation with fifteen members present.
As no new business was transacted the
interest of the meeting lay in the reports
of standing committees, notably in that
of the Academic Committee. The com-
mittee had carefully considered the ragU
lation of cutting and had had a three-hour
conference with the President and Dean
of the College. The conclusions to Which
they had come met with the hearty ap-
preciation of the Alumna; Association.
The sympathetic expressions on the faces
of the undergraduates present would
seem to imply that they too were in full
sympathy with the Committee'! report.
At this meeting the dues of the assoi ia
tion were finally raised to 11.60 and the
��Quarterly" became the official organ of
the association. At the close of the meet-
ing Dean Reilly gave a brief account of
the meetings last spring of the Associa-
tion of Collegiate Alumna- Dean Reilly

SWIMMING   MEET
PRESIDENT    THOMAS     SPEAKS     ON
SHELLEY
-   In  Chapel  last  Friday   morning   Presi-
dent Thomas spoke on  Shelley      She  said
that although Shelley was not a world
poet, because his wonderful lyric quality
made his work almost impossible to
translate, yet among the poi tfl Of the Eng-
lish language she would place him in
greatness next after Shakespeare. Presi-
dent Thomas described Shelley as the
scholar, the poet of freedom, of dsmoc-
of liberty: in the broadest eonse the
poet of humanity. She considered that
one of the greatest misfortunes that ever
befell ihe world was the early death of
Shelley. President Thomas closed by ad-
Vising every one to read Shelly  especially
