Committee Gets Ideas for B. M. Stu-
dents' Building
Returning from a trip to inspect the
Students' Buildings of four New Eng-
land colleges made for the purpose of
getting suggestions for the Bryn Mawr
Students' Building, M. Martin. '19. said
that the committee, consisting of Presi-
dent Thomas, Dean Taft, Mr. de Forest,
college architect; Miss Watson, college
business manager, and five undergradu-
ates, had got many good ideas. The
undergraduates were M. Martin. '19; F.
Day, '19; L. Kellogg. '20; M. Morrison,
'21, and C. Skinner, '22.
The committee visited Mt. Holyoke,
Smith, Radcliffe and Wellesley between
Thursday noon and Saturday night, and
were met by committees at each col-
lege, including presidents of Mt. Hol-
yoke and Wellesley and the deans of
Smith and Radcliffe.
Best Students' Building at Mt. Holyoke
The best-equipped students' building
It \lt Holyoke. which the commit-
tee visited Friday, alter spending the
night in Springfield. Betides the theatre
proper, whose fl.it auditorium floor was
the only undesirable feature, there was
a large room in the basement for danc-
ing, an idea which the committee wishes
to incorporate into the Bryn Mawr
building. \ kitchen, three little tea-
rooms, and clever arrangements for stor-
ing scenery were other attractions. The
committee hopes to have a large storage
i" m for stage properties in the base-
ment and a smaller room near the stage.
The building at Smith, where they
motored in the afternoon, was unsatis-
factory because not up-to-date, although
it contained a good academic stage.
Meet Dr. Baker; Lose Miss Watson
Dr. George P. Baker, of Workshop 47
at Harvard, showed the committee the
Radcliffe stage on Saturday, told them
why it was poor, and explained to them
his plans for a theatre.
When the committee had motored to
Wellesley, they discovered that through
oversight of If. Martin, business man-
ager of the trip, nicknamed the "nursery
governess." Miss Watson had been left
in Boston, and had to follow by train.
A new administration building, designed
by the father of F. Day. '19. was being
put up at Wellesley.
Ice cream sodas, proposed at inter-
vals during the trip and seven course
dinners at different hotels, are empha-
sized by members of the committee. The
trip ended officially Saturday night,
when some of the undergraduates spent
the rest of the week-end at Miss Martin's
home in Cambridge, and some returned
to Brvn  Mawr.

DR. SHAW PRAISES B.  M. SPIRIT
"The good sportsmanship in the May
Day revels carried on in the rain showed
a spirit that will meet cheerfully life's
responsibilities and joys," said Dr. Anna
Howard Shaw, chairman of the Woman's
National Council of Defence, who con-
ducted the chapel service on May Day.
In every government department where
Bryn Mawr women worked, according
to Dr. Shaw, they received fullest praise.
"Here in college you get the training and
breadth of vision," she said, "that make
Bryn Mawr a great name in the world."
Competition for Review Editorship
Another departure from "Tipyn o'
Bob" tradition is made by the "Bryn
Mawr Review." in opening a competition
for an editor from 1921 and one from
1922. instead of appointing them. Com-
petitors are asked to apply to D. Pit-
kin. 37 Rockefeller, tomorrow, and Fri-
day at 1.30.
To be an English shark is not neces-
sary, since ability to get material from
other people will he an important re-
quirement for editorship. The first
assignment will be to get contributions
from   other    people.
