Improvement in the  Forward  Line
The College Settlement Chapter, which
has for several years been little more
than a name at Bryn Mawr, Is to be re-
vived and take on new activities. The
plans for new work along settlement
lines, made by President Thomas, Dr.
Klngsbury, several of the College Settle-
ment Board, and undergraduate repre-
sentatives, are to be further worked out
and supported by the Alumnae.
Connection with the College Settlement
Chapter, which Is indispensable to any at-
tempts at social work by the College in
Bryn Mawr village, is made possible by
the help of President Thomas. She be-
lieves so thoroughly in the importance
of the C. S. A. that she has promised one
hundred dollars from the directors to
meet this year's obligations to the Asso-
ciation. In the near future several
speakers will come to Bryn Mawr to tell
of College Settlement Work and the stu-
dents will have the benefit of the advice
of the Philadelphia workers. This is the
only organization that offers scholarships
at large for social work and that takes
an interest in the guidance and encour-
agement of undergraduate work. Stu-
dents are also welcomed at the different
settlement houses over vacations and for
short visits. Dorothy Weston, "14, is the
present holder of one of the scholarships.
The Chapter In Bryn Mawr is to be re-
organized at once. The College will be
canvassed to determine the interest of
the students and receive their co-opera-
tion. The Chapter will be connected with
the Christian Association, but will not be
limited to Christian Association members.
The exact plans for social work will be
determined in about a week.
The Alumnse, with a team composed in
part of former Varsity and class captains,
lost to Varsity last Saturday by the score
of 8-1. The high score was largely due to
Varsity's strengthened offense. The shift
of V. Litchfield from right half to center
forward has changed the whole line from
five uncertain Individuals to an attacking
unit. The Alumnae offense was also ex-
cellent, but had a strong defense opposing
It. J. Katzenstein, '06, played a fast game
at left wing, rivaling L. Brown in long
runs down the field. Miss Katzenstein
played right wing in College and made
both her class team and Varsity. M.
Egan, Varsity captain in 1911, showed all
her old dash at left hair. Her skillful
stroke from the edge of the Varsity circle
to M. Kirk resulted in the first goal of
the game and in the Alumnae's only score.
A few minutes later, L. Brown took the
ball for Varsity in the middle of the field
and, rusliini: it past all defense to the
edge of the circle, Bhot the cleanest goal
of the game. Immediately after the
bully, L. Brown again received the ball
and repeated her spectacular run. This
time, however, the goalkeeper stopped
the shot and the forwards had to close in
and fight. O. Hearne, '19, shot the goal.
A. Hearne, who formerly played on Var-
sity, changed off with M. Nearlng, at
right half. M. Nearing was a Varsity cap-
tain in 1909. B. Ehlers, '09, played goal,
although   her   position   in   College   was
center forward. ('. Wesson, '09, and H.
Read, ex-'05, completed the defense. Miss
Wesson made several exceptionally long
hits, but the defense on the whole was
weak. M. Tyler made a third goal for
Varsity and the half ended: Varsity, 3;
Alumna?, 1.
In the second half, V. Litchfield shot
two goals and H. Harris, M. Tyler, and L.
Brown one apiece, thus making the final
score: Varsity, 8; Alumnse, 1. The un-
evenness of the score, however, did not
prevent excitement. The play continually
swept up and down the field and the im-
provement in the Varsity forwards raised
high hopes along the sidelines for another
victory on Saturday. If only speed can be
developed, the All-Philadelphia match
should be a close one.

Mr. C. R. Ashbee, of England, spoke
Friday night on William Morris, poet, up-
holsterer and socialist. The lecture WSJ
made especially interesting by Mr. Ash-
bee's personal charm and his faculty of
bringing his hearers into intimate con-
tact with his subject. He brought out his
points almost entirely by telling amusing
and spirited anecdotes. Having known
William Morris personally, he was able
to give vivacious and vivid impressions
of his vigorous, fiery, lovable disposition
In the first part of his speech. Mr. Ash-
bee dealt with Morris as poet. He read
a fragment of his works called "The Mes-
sage of the March Wind", which illus-
trated the attitude which Morris had all
his life, the attitude of a minstrel. Just
as the world was a play to Shakespeare,
said Mr. Ashbee, to Morris it was a tale.
It was with Mr. Morris as upholsti i. i
that Mr. Ashbee was most closely con-
nected, for he has carried on the kind of
craftmanship work which Morris started
It was Morris' great idea, he said, to make
everything around him beautiful. For
this purpose he gathered around him a
group of talented young men, among
whom was Hume Jones, and together
they started workshops where they de
voted their time to making beautiful
things. At this point in his lecture, Mi.
Ashbee showed slides of these workshops
and the work which Morris conceived and
carried out in them.
It was Morris's philosophy of beauty,
said Mr. Ashbee, that lead him to social-
ism. He believed that the reason hand
work is less beautiful now than in the
Middle Ages is that present social condi-
tions are based on mastery rather than
on fellowship. Morris thought that
beauty should be not for the wealthy
classes alone. Mr. Ashbee pointed out
that It was perhaps as socialist that Mor-
ris was least successful, because he could
work out no practical way of applying his
theory to the poorer classes. But he
showed that although Morris may not
have been successful in this, he lived up
to his motto that: "We are there to do
great deeds, whether we live or die".
IMPORTANT  UNDERGRADUATE
MEETING
NON-RESIDENT CLUB AGAIN ACTIVE
The Non-Resldent Club, which has not
been active since 1914, has been formed
again and now has thirty members. The
object of the club is to increase inter-
course between resident and non-resident
students and to stimulate the interest of
non-residents in College activities. The
Club expects to give teas to which resi-
dent students will be invited, in the non-
resident room, which has been put in
order again this year. The officers are M.
Brad way. president; M. Jeffries. '17. vice-
president and treasurer; M. Scott, It,
secretary.
At the meeting of the Undergraduate
Association on Monday night several im-
portant decisions were made. Plans for
a memorial to Miss Garrett were begun
and action was taken in regard to the Ad-
visory Board of the Association. A new
committee was created to take charge of
scenery and costumes and a new regula-
tion was passed concerning faculty tick-
ets to class entertainments. At the close
of the meeting the president of the Asso-
ciation spoke to the members about at-
tendance at lectures and at Chapel and
about keeping off the grass.
The first business discussed was the
Memorial for Miss Garrett. The chair
was empowered to appoint a committee
to make plans for the memorial. These
plans will be reported to the Association
at Its next meeting.
It was then voted that the Advisory
Board of the Association be empowered
to act as an Advisory, Board to President
Thomas when so requested by her
The new Standing Committee will con- 1
sist of one member from each class ap-
pomn-d by the chair and will take
(charge of the storing and using of the
class scenery and costumes. It was de-
cided that the scenery of one class could
not be changed by another class without
permission of this committee.
A definite system in regard to tickets
for the class entertainments was also es-
tablished. It was voted that compli-
mentary tickets should always be sent to
the members of the faculty, with their in-
vitations. In order to prevent any misun-
derstanding about admission.
