ELLSWORTH, ME. Hancock County Publishing Co., Printers 1893

INTRODUCTIO

. The custom of sending out cyclostyled reports of each alumna meeting, while it served its purpose for a time, proved this year a useless burden. The expense entailed was large, and resulted at last in emptying the treasury. A replenishing of the treasury for such a purpose did not seem to be justified by the interest that the absent alumnae took in these reports. Therefore in March it was decided that in the future, except for special purposes, no cyclostyled reports should be sent out, but that a general report should be printed annually, and a copy sent to each alumna. This report will be written by the secretary, and will embody the record of all business worthy of

preservation; the reports of the standing committees ; and the report of the treasurer. Perhaps in time other matters of interest may be added. The secretary will submit the report for approval to the executive committee, and also to the Association at the June meeting. This year the Association has permitted her to publish it, with the aid of the executive committee, without sub- mitting it at that meeting.

It is earnestly hoped by the executive committee that all members of the Association will read the annual report, for it will give them accurate information every year in regard to the Association and in regard to the college at larfje. I. . GENERAL REPORT,

During the" academic year 1892-1893 important innovations have been made in the organization of the Associa--

•tian, innovations which will in time reach beyond the mere organization, and increase the usefulness and influence of the Association at large. The chief innovation has- been the formation of a com-

mittee to confer with the President and Dean on all mat- . ters of interest connected witl] the college. This coni- mittee, known as "The Academic Committee of the Alumnae Association of Bryn Mawr College," was accept-

ed, by the Association on January 6, as the official means of communication, for the present, between the college au-

thorities and the Alumnae Association ; but it was mutually

understood that when it should become more practicable

to change. the charter " of the college, an effort" should be made to secure alumnae representation on the board of

' • trustees. ^ Resolutions were made as follows:

, "That said committee petition the President and Dean: (i) To recognize it as the official means of communication with the Association to appoint stated times" for ; (2) conference; (3) to grant to it power to call special meetings, for any important'business. "That said committee consist of seven members and the president of the Association ex officio, any regular member not officially connected with the college-being eligible for nomination, and the Association deeming it advisable that several mernbers be chosen from among those living at a .

' distance from Bryn Mawr. " "That said committee be elected by ballot of the whole Association, -written nominations being made, at any meeting of the Association. — — 5

"That the term of office be four years, except for those elected at the first election, for which election provision shall be made by special motion."

This provision was that those elected at the first election should serve one, two, three, or four years according to the number of votes they received. By the end of January a committee was elected, which petitioned the President and Dean according to the instruc-

tions it had received from the Association. The Presi-

dent and Dean granted the petition, and, in accordance with the special request of the committee, appointed as stated times for conference the Wednesday before Thanksgiving Day, or a day near that date, to be named at the discretion of the committee, and the day after the conferring of degrees, or a day near that date, to be named at the discretion of the committee. Upon the basis of this petition and answer a document was drawn up in May, called "An Agreement Concerning the Academic Committee of the Alumnae Association of Bryn Mawr College". The document, of which the college and the Alumnae Association each possesses a copy,

is engrossed, sealed, and signed, on behalf of the college, by the 'President and Dean, and, on behalf of the Alumnae Association, by the academic committee.

Another important change has been that effected in the conference committee. The executive committee, perceiv- ing the need of a closer union between the alumnae and the undergraduates, suggested, in December, that the Alumnae Association should invite the undergraduate association to appoint a standing committee to confer at stated intervals with its conference committee on any matters that would be of interest to both associations, and could be advantageously discussed by them. The executive committee urged that such conferences should not be confined to the discussion of questions which might need the vote and action of both associations, but should also include the discussion of questions of general interest, and . — 6— . '. an intcrchangre of information about the two associations.

Through full- reports brought in by . these committees, the executive committee hoped that the associations would be kept in touch' with each other, and would thus learn to

' give each other mutual aid. . The Alumnae Association adopted the suggestion of the executive committee in March. An invitation to appoint a corrimittee was sent to the Undergraduate Asso- ciation, and a very cordial acceptance was received. • The undergraduates have provided that the president of their association and a member of the executive board' of the Self-government Association shall always be members of their committee.

Still another important change has been the admission of Bryn Mawr doctors of philosophy to membership in the Association. This change was proposed in November, and, after an investigation into the action of other colleges

and full discussion, was adopted in June. . . Amendments have been made to the constitution to ad- mit of the introduction of the above-mentioned changes in the organization of the Association.

In- January the Association " authorized the chair to appoint a committee to draw up a plan for collecting statistics" regarding the occu-pations, health, etc, of the alumnae. The .chair asked the executive committee to serve in this capacity. The following paragraphs are taken from the report of the executive committee presented by the presi- - dent on June i : , "

*'The committee has .carefully reviewed the two reports, one ' by the. Association of Collegiate Alumnae, entitled: 'Health Statistics, of Women College Graduates,' the other by Mrs. Henry Sidgwick, entitled 'Health Statistics of Women Students of Cambridge'and Oxford,' and- has looked over the lists of questions that are answered by'the entering students of Bryn Mawr, Smith, Vassar and Wellesley colleges. At the fall meeting the committee will submit a proposed schedule of questions to be sent to every Bryn

alumna. The object of these questions is, of course, Mawr , :

— 7 —

to obtain data from which, at some future time, to make out statistical tables that shall give accurate information as to the advantages and disadvantages of college life at Bryn Mavvr, especially in reference to health. These tables may be compared with those of other women's colleges. "The committee would suggest that all the data referring to childhood, parentage, etc., and to life during the college course be obtained from the college record. The committee would further suggest that next year a secretary from each class be appointed to collect each year the addresses of the alumnae and items of personal interest for publication in the annual report." In April the Undergraduate Association brought the matter of a college pin before the Alumnae Association through the conference committees. The point at issue, which the alumnae were asked to decide, was whether there should be one general college pin, or separate pins for the undergraduates and the alumnae. The executive committee was obliged to assume the responsibility of the decision. The

following paragraph is quoted from its report

"The" members of the committee decided that there should be a college pin. that could be worn by alumnae, and by any student of Bryn Mavvr college, graduate or un-

dergraduate ; and they appointed the following committee to meet the committee of the undergraduates to decide

upon the design of the pin : Marian Wright, Mathilde Weil, Sophia Weygandt. This committee met a committee of six of the undergraduates, and after a thorough discussion of six or eight designs, decided upon a compro- mise. The pi ice of the pins is to" be $3.50 each, and they may be obtained after June 9, 1893, ^^om the president, Marian Wright, on receipt of this sum." In June the alumnae who are member? of the biological department of the college urged that as much of the alumnae fund as there was on hand should be appropriated for the building of a biological greenhouse, contributions to which had already been made from other sources. The Association voted the appropriation, amounting to $120.89. In connection with the matter of the alumnoj fund, the executive committee was empowered to appoint annually collectors for the fund from each class. In June, 1892, the Association appointed, a committee to ascertain vyhat action had been, taken by the alumnae in regard to the College Settlements Association. The following November the committee reported that they had decided that the business, of the college settlement did not belong to' the Alumnae Association as a whole, but only to those alumnae who were members of the general College Settlements Association. In June, 1893, a Bryn Mawr alumnae chapter of this general association was formed. Miss Helena Dudley resigned the office of alumnae elector, and Miss Susan G. Walker was elected as her successor. Alumnae desiring any further information may apply to Miss Walker.* ' Annie Crosby Emery, Secretary.

REPORTS OF STANDING COMMITTEES,

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.*

The first business that occupied the executive committee was in reference to

Dalton hall, for the President and Dean had asked that a committee of the

alumnoe should assist them in making the arrangements for its formal opening.

This opening was postponed from January 20 to February 17, and then to

March 4, on which date it finally took place. The executive committee held three meetings; the first one in December,

when it was planned that Mr. McVeagh and Dr. E. B. Wilson should be the speakers; the second in January, to select other speakers, for letters of sincere regret had been received from Dr. Wilson, and the death of Mr. McVeagh's

son had also prevented his accepting. It was decided at this meeting that Dr. Charles O.Whitman, professor of biology in the University of Chicago, should be invited to give an address in Taylor hall, and that Dr. Keiser, as senior member of the scientific faculty, should be invited to give a shorter address on be-

half of the scientific department; after these addresses, that trustees, faculty,

alumna; and students should march over to Dalton hall, where the guests, following the procession, should be received and shown over the building. The third meeting (in February) was held in conjunction with the Dean and

the heads of the scientific departments, for the purpose of making the final and

detailed arrangements. The list of guests was looked over and decided upon, •provision was made for the invitations, for a reception committee of the alumnoe, and for guides among the undergraduates.

In accordance with the motion of March 11, the president renewed the invitation of the Bryn Mawr Alumnae Association to the Philadelphia branch of the Association of Collegiate Alumnoe to hold one of its meetings at Bryn Mawr college. Accordingly the branch held its next meeting, a purely social one, at Merion hall on the afternoon of April 29. The offtcers of the Undergraduate Association, the officers and executive board of the Self-government Association, the officers of the Athletic Association, the editors of llie Lantertt^ the chairman of the undergraduate conference committee, and the two senior members of the Bird club very kindly consented to help the alumnee to receive and entertain their guests. Dr. Rhoads, the women

and wives of the faculty, the European fellow of '93, the fellows^^Iiss Kirk and Miss Florence Baldwin were invited to meet the guests. The Philadelphia alumnee were introduced to Dr. Rhoads, the Dean, Miss

Scott, and the president of the Bryn Mawr , Alumnae Association, and after a

little refreshment they were conducted in groups over the halls and grounds of the college. A letter of thanks has been received from Miss Tappan, secretary of the Philadelphia branch. Marian A. Wright,

• REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE.

The academic committee have no report to present this year, as their! first regular conference with the President and Dean took place after the close of the academic year 1892-93. - Emily James Smith, Chairman.

REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.*

Our meeting with the undergraduate conference committee was held on

April 14, and proved a most delightful one. We talked for Iwo hours in a simple, friendly manner, preserving only enough formality to ensure both com-

mittees receiving full and accurate answers to their questions. .

In the first place, the undergraduates brought forward the matter of a col-

lege pin. This matter, with the action taken upon it, has already been re-" ported by the executive committee. We then, according to the authority we had received from our associations, arranged the stated times for conferences. We decided that there .should be, two conferences each year, one to be held at any time between the.

Thanksgiving, and Christmas vacations, and the other to be held. at any time -

• . during the last fortnight of April. . .

After this discussion our committee asked the undergraduates to tell us "all about the college." They answered that they would like to ''clear the

ground" at the first conference, and bring to the notice of the alumnae 'all pos-

sible matters in the life of the college; matters which very likely' would not

need to be discussed at every conference.

*An incomplete report was submitted to the Association on June i, and was accepted with the understanding that it should be elaborated before published; Several matters discussed in this report a-re reported more fully and interestingly in the "Collegiana" of The Lantern for 1893. I should have con- tented myself with a reference to the "Collegiana" if I had not learned from the business manager. that "very, very few" of the alumnae subscribe for the magazine.—A. C. E. —

— II —

First they spoke of the two main organizations, the Self-government Asso- ciation, and the Undergraduate Association. They said that the former had

this year concerned itself chiefly with the "practical working" of self-government. Last year the principle of self-government had been inculcated, and

the association firmly established; this year they had organized their system of government more carefully and effectively, and especially had devoted themselves to the problem of enforcing their most important resolutions—those, namely, concerning quiet in the lecture and residence halls.

They pointed out that the matter of noise was a more serious one than it had ever been before. Perhaps the alumnae, not understanding the new difficulties consequent upon the greater number and more varied classes of students, dis- approved of their methods, but they had been earnestly and carefully consider- ing these questions for a long time, and were convinced that the needs of latter years could be met only by the means that they were employing. We talked generally about the matter of noise in the halls, and other similar problems of self-government, but we tried to avoid any discussion on points that could be of real interest and value only to actual members of the association, for our committee realized that, after learning of the aims, general problems and results of self-government, to press further questions would be mere idle curiosity or interference, and totally alien to the purposes of our conferences.

Perhaps all that it is practicable for us to report is that the memlicrs of the Self-government Association maintain that its aims are to raise the standard of the social life of the college, and to effect the best good of Bryn Mawr as a whole and of the students as individuals; and that its results, both through the -direct means of its wise and efficient government, and also through the indirect means of its influence on character and intellect, are steadily tending toward the accomplishment of those aims. The undergraduates said they had spoken of the Self-government Associa- tion first in order to show us its true relation to the Undergraduate Association.

When the former was established the importance that it assumed in every one's mind, and the time and strength that its organization and management required, naturally combined to make the latter sink into comparative insignifi- cance. But as the Self-government Association has become firmly established, and as its functions and limitations, dealing as it can only with questions of conduct, have become clearly defined and understood, the Undergraduate Asso- ciation has once more assumed its proper place. Neither association in the least degree interferes with or encroaches on the other. Both play an indis- pensable part in the life of the college. The undergraduates pointed out that the importance of their association might best be understood by remembering the organizations that it controls the Athletic Association, the college magazine, and the De Rebus club (that is, the old reform club); and also the organization which was formed under its auspices—the college settlement chapter—and the various matters which belong to its province alone, such as petitions concerning examinations, etc. As for athletics, the undergraduates told us that the last year or two had seen a great increase of enthusiasm in that direction, owing to the organization of an athletic association under efficient management, and to the institution of — 12 —

more systenlatic and emulative work in the gymnasium. We quote two paragraphs from a report of the association, given in the last Lantern:

"The formation of an intercollegiate athletic league, in which Bryn Mawr has been especially interested for more than a year,_ is. still unaccomplished; but the prospects for. the future are much brighter than were thought possible a

year ago. Finding it impossible to get the co-operation of the undergraduate

associations of the other colleges, it was decided to give at Bryn Mawr an invitation tennis tournament, to which the best players of Smith and the Annex should be asked as individuals. This tournament was held at Bryn Mawr during the latter part of October, 1892,. the colleges represented being the Harvard Annex, Girton, England, and Bryn Mawr."

"Finding this tournament a success in every respect, the Bryn Mawr athletic association has been more eager than ever to form the league,, or if this proves

, impossible, at least to continue these invitation tournaments at the different women's colleges. Some objections have been urged by the various colleges against the formation of such a league, but to us they seem invalid, and we feel, that the benefits and advantages to be derived are enough to justify us in con- tinuing our work in this direction."

The De Rebus club was reported to be in a more prosperous condition than for some'years past, having procured larger audiences and a more general in-

terest for the addresses given under its auspices.. The new name (to quote

again from The Lantern^ is considered "at once more comprehensive and lighter," and "is designed to indicate more ex,actly the object of the club".

In connection with ouir talk about this cliib, our committee asked if it would be possible to have the alumnae who live near Bryn Mawr notified of addresses and similar events taking place at the college. The undergraduates accepted-

the suggestion cordially, and it was arranged that hereafter those in charge of

such matters shall inform tltie secretary of the Alumnae Association of their 'oc- currence, and that she shall send word to the alumnae. The interest in the college settlemerit work, according to the undergradu-

ates,, has also increased, judging both from membership and from general enthusiasm. The Philadelphia settlement has, of course, given a great- impetus to the work. The undergraduates then told us of the religious organizations of the college. The general interest and eagerness among the students seem to. have 'displayed

themselves in this as. in a:ll other directions. There is the "Sunday evening

meeting," which, in its. perfect simplicity, unites the students as scarcely any-

thing else does. The attendance is always large. There is also a* smaller and less general Sunday morning meeting. Then there are Bible classes embracing

' widely .different kinds of students, formed originally under the management of

one committee, but left entirely free and independent after their establishment.

Ihere is also a small "church club". The missionary society is still in exist-

ence, and seems to be doing-about the same work "that it always did. As for chapel services, the attendance both in the morning and on Wednesday even-

ing is very good. The students usually sing one hymn at the evening service.. After this satisfactory report of college affairs, we asked the undergraduates

about the "general atmosphere" of the college. It was an indefinite but an

interesting' question. " They said that they thought that the "atmosphere" had

changed materially within the last two years, and certainly we alumnae, when.- — 13 —

ever we come into contact with the present life of the college, feel that it has.

Perhaps a few bald facts, which were practically all that we could touch up-

on in our official discussion with the undergraduates, may suggest the deeper

influences at work in Bryn Mawr, and the effect that they will have on wom-

an's education as far as it is represented by Bryn Mawr. The most apparent change has been in the numl)er of the students. This

last year there have been two hundred students, and the number will be in-

creased next year. Now life among two hundred students cannot be the same

thing as life among forty or eighty students. There cannot be the same "fami-

ly. feeling," the same friendly intimacy and the same easy, happy-go-lucky way of managing things. Formality and rigidity are absolutely necessary in many matters. The changes made by the faculty in academic matters show this.

There are strict regulations about courses, about examinations, which were

never thought of in the earlier years of the college. The same spirit is shown

by the students in their affairs. Firm organization, wisely and carefully

planned, and efficiently conducted, has proved the only way of preserving the noblest social tone in the college, the greatest interest in athetics, and even

the best helpfulness in religious things. It would be utterly wrong to sup-

pose that there is not as much "fun," as much light-heartedness and geniality in Bryn Mawr as there ever was; but fun must not be allowed to encroach on

business. If two hundred students, who cannot, in the nature of things, all know each other intimately, should attempt to solve the serious problems or meet the serious needs that arise from their very numbers by haphazard and informal methods, the result would be disastrous.

All the formality, however, does not kill the spirit of unity and enthusiasm.

1 he family feeling has gone, but a no less real and earnest feeling of deep-

seated unity, in spite of wide differences, has taken its place. Perhaps the increasing prominence of class feeling may seem inconsistent with such an unity.

This class feeling has been especially marked during the last two years.

Classes, as well as everything else, are organized; questions concerning self- government and other questions are sometimes discussed by classes, and an united action taken in regard to them; class meetings on mysterious matters are constantly being held; class suppers are no longer confined to the seniors.

But, after all, class individuality does not hurt college unity. A warm class feeling often arouses a warmer college feeling, and the classes try to make their closer union a means of greater service for the college. Along these same lines is a more marked difference between the younger and the older students.

In spite of countless teas given to the freshmen in the fall, and a very cordial effort to welcome them to Bryn Mawr, there cannot be the same intercourse between them and the upper classmen, the same means of personal contact and influence that there used to be; although, perhaps, the larger, broader means of influence are increased.

This is, in substance, what the undergraduates told us. Of course- we alumnoe were inclined to think that it all meant the destruction of Bryn Mawr because nothing of the sort existed when we were undergraduates. But the undergraduates maintained(and wethnik that the alumnne at large will, after all, agree with them) that what is good for one age may be bad for another, that 4 — 14 —

true progress' lies in chfinge, that while nothing can he gained without some loss, the gain may far outweigh the loss.

As for the standard of scholarship in the college,' the. undergraduates told us

that, to their minds, it had not been' lowered. Of cpurse as the number of

students increases the class that cares more for frivolity than for study in-

creases, but, nevertheless, there is a l^rge proportion that do as good intellect-

ual work as was ever done. The nervous strain among the students has certainly not increased. Indeed, the extension of the mid-year examination week to two weeks has had a beneficial effect in that direction.

After the undergraduates had told us all that, we could wish to know we told them everything that we thought would interest therri in regard to our association; as, for example, the changes made in its organization,, the reasons for such changes, and the results that we hoped would come from them. They seemed very glad to learn about the alummTe and their work for the college. Annie Crosby Emery,' Chairman.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON LOAN FUND.

The committee met on November 4. Miss McMurtrie was appointed chairman. Miss Mason secretary and treasurer. The committee decided to obtain a charter and incorporate itself under the name of the "Students' Loan Fund''.

The money and also the interest accruing from it are to be given into its ex- clusive charge. It will lend the capital on direct application. .

The loan is' to be paid" within five years after leaving college ^ except when special permission for a longer time is granted. The rate of interest is to be two per cent. Students will not begin to pay this interest until they leave college. Two loans, .one of $100 and one of $200, have already been made by

Or. tTAMES E. RHOADS.

" If we drop our tears, Who loved him as few men were ever loved, We mourn no blighted hope nor broken plan, With him whose life stands rounded and approved In the full growth and stature of a man." On the second of January, 1895, the plan of Dr. Rhoads' " earthly career was fulfilled and suddenly he was not ; for God took him." James E. Rhoads was born in Marple township, Delaware county, Pennsylvania, in January, 1828. Here he spent his childhood and youth, surrounded by the love and care of his saintly parents. The effect of their lives on his was to make him realize the beauty and force of the great commandment to love one's neighbor as one's self and to inspire him with a desire to give expression to the spirit of the command in his life. The practice of medicine seemed to him to offer an opportunity for the service he desired. He therefore studied at the Medical School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he was graduated in 1 851. In a short time he had gained a large practice in Germantown, but his sympathies went out so strongly to the suffering with which he came in contact, that his strength was taxed beyond endurance and he was forced to give up the work so dear to him. Relieved of his professional duties and still possessed with a zeal to be of use to his fellow-man, he turned his attention to the cause of the down trodden Freedman and Indian. In this field he labored actively for ten years, and to the close of his life he was most closely identified with this work.

But it is in Dr. Rhoads' career in connection with the building up of Bryn Mawr College that we have known him best. As a personal friend of Dr. Taylor he was associated with the work from the beginning. In 1883 he was made chairman of the Building and Executive Committees of the Board of

Trustees ; in 1884 he was appointed President of the College, ;

rora which time until his death, more than a decade, he labored

for its highest good and best interests. ' Nothing was too small or insignificant for his attention. The College was a trust be- queathed to him and he thought it his mission to carry out the wishes of its founder. Bryn Mawr opened in September, 1885, with forty- four students. Those present at the inauguration will never forget Dr. Rhoads' warm welcome nor his delight at the realization of his hopes. For eight years he discharged most nobly the duties of Presi-

dent, giving to his work the full rich power of a matured life. Declining health, however, made it advisible for him to resign the position and he tendered his resignation, which was to take effect on September ist, 1893. The Trustees, knowing what Dr. Rhoads meant to Bryn Mawr, begged for a reconsideration of his decision and he consented to hold the presidency for one year more. The feeling of the Trustees on this subject is embodied in the memorial address of a member of that body: " With profound reluctance the Trustees accepted his resignation. His language was so simple and so gentle, when he told

them that his health demanded it, that they did not realize to the full extent what he probably knew too well, that further effort of so exacting a nature might prove a fatal strain. After Francis T; King's death he was entrusted with the Presidency of the Board of Trustees, as well as of the College, and thus in a measure could have controlled his own -position. But he was to be trusted in this. He never sought his own advancement he was the first to recognize his own deficiencies, .he would not even accept honors for a member of his family while he was President. His tone was too high for that. He asked for no

furlough ; he asked nothing for himself but release. Modest almost to a fault, he claimed no merit for the exceptional success of his College, and yet he had developed conspicuous executive ability and unrivalled gifts for the high office he held. Most of you well know with what a fine combination of qualities he successfully executed this great trust. Combining strength with gentleness, and justice with kindness, that fair

. and clear character triumphed over all obstacles, met every emergency, and won the admiration which he did not seek.!' Although no longer to be identified with the Faculty as its — :

President, he was still to retain his position on it as Professor of Christian Ethics. Successful as Dr. Rhoads was as President, it was not his official position that gave him the influence that was felt by all

it was the force of his gentle personality, the strength of his noble character, and the realization of that highest expression

of human life, that for him to live was Christ. It was these qualities that gave him his breadth of sympathy with and his loving interest in each student individually. It was not only in the intellectual life of Bryn Mawr that Dr.

Rhoads took so deep an interest ; he had a great yearning for its spiritual welfare. He desired earnestly that the tone of the college should be one of a true and living religion, and he longed that each student should try to attain to a higher life. As one sat in chapel day after day and listened to his words, Whittier's lines seemed as true of Dr. Rhoads as of Agassiz " Even the careless heart was moved, And the doubting gave assent, With a gesture reverent, To the Master well-beloved. As thin mists are glorified B}' the light they cannot hide, AH who gazed upon him saw, Through its veil of tender awe, How his face warn still uplit

By the old sweet look of it, Hopeful, trustful, full of cheer. And the love that casts out fear." Dr. Rhoads was a minister of the Society of Friends and was one of its most able speakers. He was probably more widely known and loved as a Friend than any other man in the country. It is almost impossible to describe Dr. Rhoads' personality. In him was set forth the combination, of those qualities so sel- dom united, gentleness and strength. He was a typical Christian gentleman, amiable, unassuming, full of courtesy and sympathy.

To us is left the loving memory of a noble life, a memory which will always inspire us to strive after what is best in life. — a

GENERAL REPORT.

The Alumnae Association held five meetings during the year

1 894- 1 895, the regular meetings in October and June, one informal meeting in January, arid two special meetings in April. The informal meeting in January was called to act upon the

following resolutions which were prepared by . the Executive

Committee on the death of Dr. Rhoads : Whereas, We, the Alumnse of Bryn Mawr College, have heard with the deepest sorrow of the death of Dr. Rhoads, the first President of the

College. . Resolved, That we do hereby express our appreciation of his unceasing efforts to promote the highest interests of the College, our reverence for

his noble Christian character ; and our gratitude for the help that we, as students and Alumnae, have received from his pefsonal friendship.

Resolved, That we convey to those most closely related to him our heartfelt sympathy in their great sorrow. At this same meeting the President brought forward a suggestion made by several of the alumnae that a tablet or some other memorial to Dr. Rhoads be placed in Taylor Hall.' A committee was appointed to look into the subject of memorial tablets and report to the Executive Committee or to a meeting of the whole Association. The special meeting of April 6th was called to consider the question of this memorial. It will be remembered that at the June meeting in 1894 it was decided to raise a fund, to be known as the " Dr. James E. Rhbads En- dowment Fund," the interest of which was to be used as, scholarship or loan fund. About five thousand of the eight thousand dollars necessary had been contributed or promised, and it was the feeling of some of the Alumnae that this work should be completed before any- memorial were erected.- A circular was sent out in order to obtain the feeling of each member of the. Association on this point, and the subject was once more considered in the meeting of April 27th. It was then

the feeling of the Association that . since Dr. Rhoads knew of the Fund before his death, and since it is for an object completely in accord with his spirit and will in itself be a most

( 6 ) beautiful memorial of him and the spirit for which he stood in the college, that we first fulfil our pledge toward this fund and then erect a tablet which shall stand as an expression of our own feelings about Dr. Rhoads, a mark which says in words more clearly than the fund that he was dear to us and his memory is dear to us still. The Association accordingly announced to the trustees their desire to erect a tablet to the memory of Dr. Rhoads as soon as the Endowment Fund is completed. The work of the Association during the past year has centered chiefly around the Endowment Fund. Collectors were appointed in July and these reported for their classes at the Fall Meeting. It was decided at this meeting to postpone the consideration of

the disposition of the fund as to whether it should be a scholarship or loan fund until the meeting in June 1895. Circulars with the address of the Treasurer have been printed and sent to the collectors for distribution among the Alumnae. A committee has been appointed to draw up a list of the names of the per- sons to whom these circulars have been sent by the Alumnae in order to avoid making two requests to the same person. A committee was appointed later to look into the methods of awarding scholarships in other colleges, and also into the advantages of loan funds as compared with scholarships. This committee reported to the Executive Committee, which drew up a recommendation which was presented to the Alumnae at the meeting. This proposition was acted upon clause by June — clause, and in its amended form stands as follows : (a.) That the interest of the Dr. James E. Rhoads Endow- ment Fund be used, at the discretion of the committee, as one under-graduate scholarship of the value of four hundred dollars, or as two undergraduate scholarships of the value of two hundred dollars each. (d.) That the student or students to whom such scholarship be awarded shall have completed at least her Freshman year at Bryn Mawr. (c.) That the question of need be considered with that of merit. (d.) That the scholarship or scholarships be awarded through an investigating committee, consisting of the President of the Alumnae Association and three other Alumnae appointed by the Executive Committee, the President of the College and two other members of the Academic Council, appointed by the Academic Council of the Faculty. {e.) That the College be requested to give to the name of the successful candidate or candidates honorable mention in the program, together with the holders of the Bryn Mawr and Garrett fellowships and scholarships. The collectors of the Alumnae Fund were appointed collectors of the Endowment Fund in order to avoid the confusion arising from two sets of collectors. It was recommended by the Exe- cutive Committee and adopted by the Association that no further req.uests for contributions to the Alumnae Fund be made until the Endowment Fund is completed. At the October meeting the question of an amendment to Article vi of the Constitution was considered. It was not deemed advisable to raise the dues to one dollar a year, but that any deficit in the treasury should be met by an assessment, any Alumna who is unable to pay such an assessment being excused. In the fall Emma S. Wines and Henrietta R. Palmer resigned their positions as Corresponding and Recording Secretaries. The Executive Committee with regret accepted their resigna- tions, since both found that they were unable to devote the time that was required to the work of the Association. Martha G. Thomas and Leah Goff were elected to those positions. Two new committees have been formed during the year, a *' Lantern Committee," whose work it is to take charge of contributions for the "Lantern," and to arouse interest in the magazine among the Alumnae, and an Auditing Committee, whose business it shall be to audit the accounts of the Treasurer. The work of the Nominating Committee was extended in order to include the nomination, not only of the officers of -the Associ- ation, but also of the Chairman of the Conference Committee, since this position is one of such importance, deterrniiiing as it does in great measure our relation to the Undergraduate and Graduate Associations. In June, 1892, the Trustees " authorized the formation of a committee of seven to manage the ' Students' Educational Fund,' to consist of five Alumnae to be appointed by the Association, of the President of the Undergraduate Association of Bryn Mawr College and of the President and Dean of the Faculty." It has been found that in the minutes of. the Trustees of the College no mention is made in the list of the members of the committee on the Students' Loan Fund of the President of the Undergraduate Association. The Loan Fund Committee in a meeting in April, 1895, recommended that the President of the Undergraduate Association be no longer a member of this committee. This recommendation was ratified by the Association. It was also deemed advisable that there should be an amendment of the original motion, firstly, with regard to the fact that the office of Dean has been abolished, secondly, that the name of the Fund should be changed from the "Students' Educational Fund," to the " Students' Loan — Fund." The motion in its amended form stands as follows : "There shall be a committee of six to manage the Students' Loan Fund, to consist of five Alumnae to be appointed by the Alumnae Association, and of the President of the College." A permanent committee on health statistics has been elected by the Executive Committee in consultation with President Thomas. This committee consists of Jane L. Brownell, Chair- man Lilian V. Sampson and Annie C. Emery, who succeeded ; Susan G. Walker, both as Secretary to the President and member of this committee. The plan of appointing one of the college officers on this committee was found convenient, since the college has agreed to bear all the responsibility and expense of getting out the forms. The Class Records which appear for the first time in this Annual Report were authorized by the Association, and in connection with the form which each Alumna received, explain themselves. It is with sorrow that we record the death of two of our number during the past year. In November, 1894, Mary Graf- ton Patterson, the first graduate of Bryn Mawr College, and Anna Powers, of the Class of '90, were taken from among us. Miss Ethel Powers has offered to the college a scholarship to be known as the " Anna Powers Memorial Scholarship," in memory of her sister. As Alumnae we appreciate this most fitting memorial of one whose interest in Bryn Mawr was ever most active and sincere. Lkah Goff, Secretary. REPORTS OF STANDING COMMITTEES.

REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE.

This year's report of the Academic Committee falls into two divisions, a report of its endeavors to make its work more effective and systematic, and a report of its regular conferences with the authorities of the College.

The Committee had begun to feel that it was greatly limited in its usefulness by the fact that its members lived at a distance from one another, and therefore could not prepare themselves for the conferences in any but a hasty and superficial manner. Accordingly, this year an effort was made to obviate such difficulties, and a system of circular correspondence was inaugurated by which discussion'might be carried on throughout the year by the members of the Committee. Topics for the conferences, of broad and educational interest, were suggested, and plans were made to in-

vestigate the questions connected with them. • Such investigation was apportioned to the various members of the Committee, who were to send in reports of their work to the Chairman. These reports were then to be embodied in the circular correspondence. The new organization could not be expected to show' complete results in its first year, but the results that it has shown have greatly encouraged the members of the Con^mittee. They are convinced that in the future the Committee can prove itself a more adequate and influential representative of the Alumnae Association than it has been "in the past, and that it can far better promote the interests of the College and even of education in general. The two regular conferences of the year have been of unusual interest. At the fall meeting President Thomas presented the reports asked' for by the Committee in the preceding year, in regard to students entering the College in February, and in regard to students entering with more than

four conditions. . The former report showed that of the students that have entered in Feburary a few have been exceptionally strong students, a few exceptionally weak, ancj the greater part fully able to meet the requirement's of the average standard. President Thomas also repeated the arguments advanced in the preceding year in answer to' the suggestion of the Committee that students should not be allowed to enter in February, namely, that admittance at that time did not interfere with the working of the College, and that the fact that some students were com- pleting their course at the mid-year justified other students in extending their course. The latter report showed thkt in only very few cases have admitted with four conditions, that special rea- students been more than , sons have existed for these exceptions, and special requirements beeni

( lo ) II

made in regard to an early passing off of the conditions. President Thomas stated that within the last year the requirements in regard to conditions had been made much stricter and tliat in September, 1894, no students had been admitted with more than four. The members of the Committee on their side brought forward the question of undergraduate scholarship, reporting that at a preliminary meeting they had reached the conclusion that the advantages of such scholarships would far out-weigh their disadvantages, that by them a desirable student element would be introduced in the College, and that the fact that they were competed for on the ground of excellence in scholarship, as well as of financial necessity, would quite remove any evils of dependence that might be attached to them. In all this President Thomas warmly concurred, and considerable time was devoted to discussing practical details connected with the question. At the Spring Conference, President Thomas brought forward some interesting facts that had come to light in the awarding of the Anna Powers Memorial Scholarship. Chief among these was the fact that scholarships reach a class of students not reached by the Loan Fund. Young students that have never taught and are not sure of their ability to support themselves are very unwilling to borrow money. Rather than draw even on the Loan Fund, with its low rate of interest, they sometimes prefer to entirely give up their college work. Scholarships, on the other hand, they are very anxious to obtain. President Thomas and the Committee

agreed in thinking that it was wiser to award such scholarships after the freshman year, rather than by competitive entrance examinations, although there were shown to be many practical difficulties in the way of decision on the basis of collegiate work. The Spring Conference was in all respects a peculiarly interesting one. In addition to the question of scholarships that was continued from the

Fall Conference, the Committee brought forward two topics that it had been discussing during the year, namely, Pedagogy, and the relation of college entrance examinations to preparatory schools. The member of the Committee to whom the investigation of Pedagogy had been assigned reported that she had drawn up a detailed plan of examination into the

question, but had desisted from carrying it out after it was publicly announced that a school of Pedagogy was to be founded at Bryn Mawr ;

for it had been with a view to that result that the Committee had wished to bring the matter forward. This led to a very suggestive discussion, since the members of the conference were by no means unanimous in their belief in either theoretical or practical Pedagogy. President

Thomas urged the Committee to continue its investigation, saying that its results would be of great assistance to the College. The Committee, therefore, during the next year will undertake such an investigation, the report of which the Alumnae Association will doubtless await with some interest. The member of the Committee who had been appointed to arrange an investigation of the influence of entrance examinations on preparatory 12

schools, stated that she thought that the time was not yet ripe for a detailed investigation of so deep and broad a problem, but that discussion on it should certainly be agitated. The discussion that followed at the conference was of great interest, but of too complex a nature to be re-

ported in a short compass. , ,

The Academic Committee would again, emphasize the fact that it has endeavored during this year to take long strides towards usefulness and

efficiency, and that it hopes that when it shall have .completely organized

itself and perfected its methods of work it will more adequately fill the

office entrusted "to it by the Alumuce As.sociation.

REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE. Two regular and three special meetings of the Conference Committee were held during the academic year 1894-95, and at most of these meetings undergraduates, graduate students and alumnae were represented. That members of the joint committees might have opportunities of knowing each other personally, and of discussing informally questions that were arising from time to time, the committee of '94-'95 agreed to meet the first Thursday in each month. In case the new committee approve, this plan will be adopted for the year. '95-*96. The body of students studying at Bryn Mawr during the academic year '94-'95 consisted of 224 undergraduates, 13 graduates of Bryn Mawr, ' and 32 graduates of other colleges., making a total of 267 students. The undergraduate life has been full of interest. The Self-government

Association . has adopted a new method of electing its officers. By this plan the Executive Board of five members, the secretary and the treasurer

are elected on a general ticket, and therefore represent the majority ; while the Advisory Board of ten members is elected by the classes—the graduate students constituting one class and each class having two representatives—and therefore may have on it some representatives of the minority. The elections are held at polls located in the various halls, and the returns are posted as soon as may be after the. closing of the polls. From the standpoint of the individual, this new method saves time, gives more time for thought regarding the candidates; and gives each one an opfiortunity of votiftg for some of the officers of. the Associa- tion if not for all. .The new system is satisfactory so far, and. will be tried again this .coming" year. A religious society, called the Christian Union, was formed during the winter, and. this society, together with the Philosophical Club and the De Rebus Club, was instrumental in bringing to the college rnany interesting lectures. The Undergraduate Committee told us, among other things, that there had been some excitement in the college over the discovery of the existence of a secret society; that one or two mass. meetings had been called to discuss the matter, but though no definite action was taken the —

students in general expressed themselves as averse to secret societies for

Bryn Mavvr. It is believed that in deference to this expression of opinion, the society mentioned ceased to exist. A serious question came up in regard to a college song. A few undergraduates, without the authority of any association, posted notices which stated that the music for the college song had been chosen ( the metre was given ) ; that these students, together with the editorial board of the

Lantern, would examine all poems sent in ; that a prize in money

would be awarded to the best poem ; and that the prize poem with the music chosen by these students would be published by the Editor of the Lantern in this year's issue, and would be called "The Bryn Mawr College Song." Alumnae were invited to compete. Our Committee at once met the Undergraduate Committee, and took exception to the proposed plan, arguing:— (i) that no self-appointed committee had the right to select and publish a song to be called ** The Bryn Mawr College Song"; (2) that the Lantern board had no right, without the authority of the Undergraduate Association, to publish in the

Lantern, ( the official organ of the undergraduates ) a song to be called

"The Bryn Mawr College Song"; and (3) that it would be impossible to get the approval or co-operation of the alumnae before the Lantern should go to press. The joint committee made to the Undergraduate Association the following suggestions : (i) That both undergraduates and alumnae be asked to consider the plan of having a college song and to appoint committees to attend to the matter.

(2) That in case the asssociations decide to have such a song, undergraduates and alumnae be invited to send in music as well as words for it.

(3) That the students who had offered a prize for the best words to the music they had chosen, be asked to submit to the joint committee of undergraduates and alumnae their prize song.

To our committee this arrangement seemed a very fair one, for it would in no way interfere with the competition for the prize offered by the students already mentioned, and yet would give all Bryn Mawr students an opportunity of offering any words or any music, and would give the committee a greater variety of songs from which to select one.

I have gone into these details because of the feeling aroused among some of the undergraduates. The matter was misunderstood, the students offering the prize thinking the alumnae were interfering withdrew their offer and refused to have anything to do with the matter. This state of affairs was reported to us only when it was too late in the year to make an explanation, but the question will be taken up at our first meeting this fall, and we ask the alumnae to consider the proposition of appointing a committee to co-operate with the undergraduates in select- ing a college song. The Graduate Section of the Conference Committee assured us that the Graduate Club was firmly established with regular officers and com- 14 mittees. The object of the m^nbers of the club is to promote good feeling and good fellowship among graduate students, to learn from informal discussion something about one another's special work, and to inform themselves in regard to the graduate courses of other colleges. The club

meets informally once a fortnight, and formally once a month ; at the informal meetings some member of the club reads a paper, while an invited speaker addresses the club at its formal meetings. The club was represented by Miss Emery and Miss Hardcastle at the conference of Graduate Clubs held in New York, in April of this year. The principal topic of discussi'oii was the ** Publication of a Hand-book of Graduate Courses^ This book has since been published and gives valuable information to graduate students concerning graduate courses offered by

about twenty leading American colleges. . The reports from the undergraduates and from the Graduate Club seemed to our committee most interesting and satisfactory. Evangeline Walker Andrews, Chairman..

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE STUDENTS' LOAN FUND.

The Committee on the Students' Loan Fund held three meetings during the. past year. One application was made for a loan of one hundred dollars (|ioo.oo) which was grarfted. As our treasury was in need of funds it seemed advisable to have appeals printed, stating the object and needs of the fund. Three hun,dred of these appeals were circulated with the gratifying result of four hundred and seventy-two dollars and twenty

" cents '(^472.20) being placed in our treasury. , .

The treasurer reports a balance on hand to June 4, 1895, of six hundred and ninety-seven dollars and ninety cents (^697.90). .. Since the above report was made there has been returned to the fund one hundred and ten dollars and fifty cents ($110.50). Julia Cope Collins, Chairman pro tern.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON HEALTH STATISTICS.

The Cofnmittee was appointed by order of the fall meeting of th^

Alumiise Association, .to print and distribute the questions on- health prepared for the Association, and to take charge of answers that should be received from the questions.

The work was begun immediately, But it was found advisable to make a few changes in the questions, when they were finally reviewed. As the College promised to pay the expenses of the Committee, Miss Thomas was consulted in the choice of a printer, and the Committee decided, after comparing various estimates, to give the work to Friedenwald & Co., Baltimor^e. —

The expenses have been

To printing Envelopes, &c., . . $8605 " Lock-box and other expenses, . . 4 92

Total, . . I90 97 The bills have been paid by the College, as agreed.

On April 13, 119 copies of the questions were sent out, one to each Alumna of the College.

On June 4, 39 sets of answers had been received, i. e. about one-third of the number distributed, which is to be regarded as a good proportion. The committee suggest when the answer to a question is not known, that this should be indicated by a question mark, or in some other way, as a blank simply means, that the question remains unanswered. They recommend, also that the answers be returned sealed ; the postage required, even at letter rates, is but six cents.

ACADEMIC NOTES.

Bryn Mawr has suffered a severe loss in the appointment of Dr. Ed- ward Washburn Hopkins to the Sanskrit Chair, at Yale, formerly filled by Prof. Whitney. The appointment includes a year's leave of absence in India, of which Dr. Hopkins will avail himself in 1896-97.

In the classical department at Bryn Mawr the courses have been re- arranged and two new appointments have been made, namely, that of Dr. Mortimer Lamson E^rle, as Associate Professor of Greek and Latin, and that of Mr. Paul Elmer Mare, as Associate in Sanskrit and Classical Literature. Dr. Earle received the degree of Ph.D., at Columbia, in 1889, studied for several years in Athens and Berlin, and was then appointed Instructor ^nd Lecturer in the Classics at Columbia and Barnard. He has already won no small reputation as a scholar. Especially has his recent edition of the Alcestis been favorably received both at home and abroad. Mr. Mare received the degree of A. M. at Harvard, in 1893, and since that time has been Instructor in Sanskrit at the same university. His book, "The Great Refusal," which deals with questions of Buddhistic philosophy, has gained for him considerable reputation as a writer. i6

The English department will also be increased by another "Lecturer," Mr. Alfred L. Hoder. Mr, Hoder has been, a student and fellow in the graduate school at Harvard and has studied in Freiburg and Berlin.

Of especial interest are the two new departments, one of Art and Archaeology, the other of Geology, that are to be opened next year. The former is to be under the direction of Mr. Richard Norton, Lec- turer in Archaeology, a son of Prof. Charles Eliot Norton. Mr. Norton was graduated from Harvard in 1892, and has since then been studying

at Berlin, Athens and Munich. His courses will consist of lectures and . class work on Italian and Greek Art, and Classical Archaeology, The sum of five hundred dollars has been appropriated for the purpose of photographs, and in addition a large collection of Braun photograph's has been presented to the college. Furthermore, the undergraduates have raised a memorial fund in honor of Dr.- Rhoads, which will be devoted to the purchase of books on art and archaeology.

The department of Geology will be under the direction of Dr. Florence Bascom, Reader in Geology, who received the degree of Ph.D. from the John Hopkins University, in 1893, being the first woman to obtain, this honor, and who since then has been Instructor in Geology at the State University of Ohio. Dr. Bascom will give post-major and gradtiate courses, consisting of lectures and laboratory and field work. A valuable collection of minerals h^s been loaned to the department, and the college has appropriated the sum of five hundred dollars for the purchase of

" books and instruments. !

The alumnae will hear with great regret that Miss Florence Peirce has resigned her position as librarian, but with great pleasure that Miss

Henrietta Palmer, '93, has been appointed as her successor. ,

It is with great pleasure and pride that we learn that President Thomas has been elected a member of the Board of Trustees of Cornell University. This election may be considered a triumph, in view of the ^ell-known

' - - conservatism of Cornell. .

Four Alumnoe meetings were held during the academic year 1893-94. The two regular meetings were well attended, hut at both special meetings we failed to secure a quorum. Owing to the small number of meetings held, the Secretary has little business to record in her Annual Report. The real work of the Association has been carried on through its committees, whose reports will be found printed separately or included in the General Report. The regular Fall meeting was held on November 20th, in

Merion Hall. At that meeting it was stated that the sum of $1,500 had been promised toward a swimming tank for the gymnasium on condition that the other $1,500 needed could be raised. The matter was referred to the Conference Committee, with in- structions to bring it before the Undergraduate Association through its representatives on that committee. A joint committee was formed from both Associations and the work of so- liciting money began. In June, the committee reported that the $1,500 had been raised. It should be stated that the success of the work was due in a great measure to the energy and enthusiasm of the Undergraduates, although the Alumnae re- sponded heartily to the call for money. The swimming tank will be ready for use this Fall. A year ago a committee was appointed to draw up a set of quCvStions that would lead to statistics concerning the health of the Alumnae of Bryn Mawr. This committee made a careful study of the similar work already done by other Alumnae organizations, and presented a preliminary report. During the past year the committee has completed a list of questions to be sent to the Alumnae. This list, which is in tabular form, has been carefully compiled and submitted to many of the Alumnae for suggestions. It has also been approved of by Miss Thomas and Mr. Giddings. With a view to carrying on this important work, the Asso- ciation, at the June meeting, voted that a permanent committee of three be appointed, subject to the. approval of the college authorities, who should confer with them in the matter. It is hoped that during the year the funds can be obtained for printing the questions and distributing them among the Alumnae. Several amendments to the constitution were made during the

year. Art. iv, § i was amended to read, "The officers of the Association shall be a President, Vice-President, Correspond- ing Secretary, Recording Secretary, and Treasurer. These of-

, ficers shall serve as the Executive Committee. ' By this change all the members of the Executive Board are officers of the Asso- ciation. The difficulty of obtaining a quorum at Alumnse meetings suggested an amendment to our constitution on that point. A committee appointed to investigate the matter reported that large quorums were not the rule among- other alumni organizations. At Harvard, for instance, a quorum of ten is sufficient, while at Vassar any number present constitute a quorum. The committee recommended that ten members constitute a quorum of our Alumnse Association, and the constitution was amended to that effect. A further amendtnent was made, requiring that an announce- ment of all business to come before a meeting should be seiit with the two weeks' notice of that meeting. The June meeting alone was left open for casual business not announced in the call for the meeting.

Many of the Alumnse will be interested to. learn^ that the Bryn Mawr -Chapter of the College Settlements Association is prospering. The membership increased last year, and the subscriptions were much larger than ever before. At. the June meeting the following vice-electors .were ap-

pointed : , . Boston—Elizabeth W.Winsor.

Philadelphia Edith- F. . — Sampson. , .

" Bryn Mawr—l^thel M. Walker. . , Baltimore—Elizabeth Carroll. Indianapolis—S. Frances Atkins. The elector is Susan G. Walker, Bryn Mawr College. :

It was with deep regret that the Ahimnse learned of the resig* nation of Dr. Rhoads as President of the College. A copy of the letter sent to Dr. Rhoads on that occasion is given below:

Rryn Mawr College, December 19, 1893. President James E. R.noxTi'i—Dear Sir —We, the undersigned, representing- the Alumnie Association of Bryn Mawr College, desire, on behalf of the Association, to express to you our deep sense of all that the

College owes to you, its first President ; and the regret which we feel that you should have found it necessary to resign the office. We who have been students of the College during its first decade shall always gratefully remember your wise administration, your untiring devotion to the interests of the College, and the many marks of personal kindness each one of us has received from you.

It is a great satisfaction to us that, in withdrawing from the Presidency of the College, you will still be with the College, and that your interest and sympathy will be felt as hitherto by all its students. We trust that this relation may long continue. Elizabeth Harris,

For the Alumna' Associatio7i of Bryn Mawr College.

At the June meeting it was decided that the Association found a scholarship in Bryn Mawr College in honor of Dr. Rhoads, and call it after his name. It is to be a full scholarship of $400, and the endowment fund must be at least $8,000. It was felt that it would be more or less difficult to raise so large a sum at this time, but we resolved to undertake it, feeling sure that if begun at once, and carried forward enthusiastically, many of our friends would be willing to help us, and the collection would be made before long. The result has more than justified our expectations, for already by the middle of September about a fifth of the necessary sum is in our hands. We hope- with the hearty co-operation of all the Alumnae, some of whom will perhaps learn of the proposed scholarship for the first time in this report, to have the whole amount in hand before the end of the year. Henrietta R. Palmer, Secretary,

Note.— It has not yet been decided whether the income from the En- dowment Fund shall be used as a Scholarship or as a Loan Fund.

Partial reports from the Alumnae give a total of $1502 raised during the Summer. REPORTS OF STANDING COMMITTEES.

REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE, . .

The Academic Committee held two meetings during the last year, one ' in' November, the other in June. While there' is little definite action to report, the discussions have been important and suggestive, and have touched upon a wide range of topics. The increased comfort of the students through the improvement of the

table was considered ; by the adoption of a new menu last year, and the formation of hall committees consisting of a member from' each table,

which is to be effected this coming year, it is hoped all cause for com-

" plaint will be removed. . The need of an additional egress in the Gymnasium was suggested and

it is probable that the alterations necessary for this will be made before the opening of the College year, since the plans were already drawn in June. In connection with the College work, the admission of students at the mid-year was discussed'; many of the Alumnae have felt thiat there were

serious disadvantages in this ; Dean Thomas said that the college would

not consider it advisable to place any restriction upon the entrance of properly qualified students at that time, that however the facts connected with such admissions would be examined in the light of the objections that had been advanced by the Alumnae, and the result reported at the

next-meeting of the Academic Committee. . , The representatives of the Alumnae asked that the advisability of re- .ducing the fees for single courses to Graduate Students should be con-

it said that there were sidered ; on the part of the College, however, was economic objections since the expense of the Graduate courses was rela- tively greater than that of the Undergraduate ones and the lowering .of the fees would iriean.an increase in the number of the students without a proportionate increase in the income. In addition to these special topics, there was much general discussion about the relation of the College to 'the preparatory schools, the desira- bility of promoting an interest in art during the College, course, and in regard to the religious life of the College. Ida Wood,

Secretary. .

' ' ,( 6 ) . REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.

As prescribed by the Association our Conference Committee held its two meetings with the Undergraduates during the academic year 1S93-94. The Undergraduates met us promptly and expressed themselves as de- lighted with this arrangement that gives them an opportunity of knowing personally members of the Alumnae Association, and of informing themselves in regard to its aims and methods. They agreed with us in thinking that copies of the Alumnie Report should be given to the Undergradu- ates, and are satisfied with our decision to send each year a certain number of copies for distribution to the president of the Undergraduate As- sociation. The Undergraduate Committee then reported on the various organizations under the control of the Uudergraduate Association. No changes have taken place in the religious organizations, or in the De Rebus club, and as all of these were to be reported in detail in the Lantcni, nothing further was said about them. Slight changes have taken place in some of the organizations. The Glee Club has been re-organized under a professional leader who drills the club once a week, and in consequence of this change the membership dues have increased from fifty cents to three dollars a year. The club, however, has fifty members, and will undoubtedly be of more credit to the College than a larger club of undrilled singers would be. The Students' Library has also been reorganized. The tax remains the same—twenty-five cents a year for each Undergraduate— and there

is still a library committee of six members ; but the books are now massed in tHe students' parlour of Denbigh Hall, and are in charge of a librarian appointed by the cornmittee. Under the old system books

were often taken away unregistered, and were kept out for months ; indeed often they were never returned, and almost two-thirds of the new books have disappeared each year. The librarian now has certain office

hours, and the system of registration is the same as that of the College

library ; but students cannot keep books more than three weeks without incurring a fine of two cents a day. The committee buys new books, and determines the salary of the librarian. The new system is very

satisfactory, for it not only insures the safety of the books, but prevents the monopoly by a few students of the new publications. The committee reported a very active interest in athletics, due especially to the introduction of basket-ball, which was played in the gymnasium in the winter, and on the campus in the spring. It has become very popular this year, but has not interfered with the tennis, for the tennis courts were in great demand, and even more interest than formerly was taken in the tournaments last year. The Undergraduates dwelt with great emphasis upon the duties of the Alumnae toward the Lantern. The Lantern of '94 was published with the greatest difficulty, for contributions were few in number, and very late in coming in. The Undergraduate Committee maintained that in the first place we do very little in the way of contributions, and almost nothing in the way of purchasing and supporting our own magazine. If the Un- dergraduates are to publish J:he Lantern m good form, with good paper and free from advertisements, the Alumnae must help them, otherwise they must make the Lantern pay by cheapening it. Furthermore, if the editors must do all the work and give almost all their time to the Lantern, the enterprise must be put on a business foundation, and the editors must receive remuneration by means of advertisements. The Alumnae, the Undergraduates claim, should do their part in supporting the magazine, and should purchase it if only for the detailed reports on the college life given in the department of Collegiana. Our committee felt that the rep- rimand we received from the Undergraduates was just and deserved. We were very much interested to know how the large class of eighty Freshmen that entered in the fall had received the ideas and principles of self-government, and we were told that as a class they worked enthusiastically for everything that concerned the welfare of the College. • Self- government, it was felt, would show its strength or weakness in its management and assimilation of large numbers, for with an increase of students would come many and various interests and opinions. Self-government so far has proved equal to its task, and we quote from the Lan- tern of '94, to show some changes that have taken place in its organization, changes needed to meet new conditions: "The success of the Self-government association, df which in former years we have been obliged to speak in a tentative way, is now an assured fact, although the problems before us are. many and grave, and a-lthough more sacrifice of time and. work is necessary on the part of its officers than we perhaps realized in the early days of the system, yet we are convinced that, so long as the present friendly and helpful spirit reigns in the College, the difficulties in our way can never be -unsur- mountable. The working organization has been greatly strengthened by the creation of an Advisory Board, of eight members, whose duty is to assist and advise the Executive Board whenever they may wish it, and especially in the more serious cases of an infringement of the regulations of the association. To the combined boards has been given the judicial power of the association, subject to appeal to, the whole bady. This arrangement makes the practical work more simple and convenient, and yet Ihe committee is large enough to bear easily the responsibility laid ^ upon it." . In short, we are evolving a more and more practicable systern of ' SelfTgovernment, and the sound common sense of the body of Bryn Mawr students encourages us to hope for an ever-increasing strength. With the report and informal discussion of Self-government the committees closed- their meeting. Our committee felt perfectly satisfied' with the state of affairs as reported by the Undergraduates, and they in their turn listened with interest to what we had to tell them of the work of the Alumnae. • At the close of the meeting the chairman of our committee was told unofficially of the formation of a Graduate Club, made up of graduate students studying at Bryn Mawr. Of the two hundred and twenty-five students at Bryn Mawr this year, forty-one were graduates, and of the forty-one^raduates seventeen were graduates of Bryn Mawr. 9

The club had been formed that the graduates might meet in a social way, and also that they might be in a position to communicate officially with the other College organizations. The club has asked that it may have two representatives in the Conference Committee and the request has been granted. This new organization is already playing an important part in the college life.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE STUDENTS' LOAN FUND. The Committee on the Students' Loan Fund of Bryn Mawr College, held a meeting September 21st, 1893, to consider two applications for loans for the year 1893-94. Both of these applications for loans, amounting together to $500, were granted. Up to the present time loans have been made to the amount of I925, leaving in the treasury a balance of twelve dollars and eighty-two cents, ($[2.82). For the present therefore the Loan Fund is crippled, its treasury being practically empty, but I think I may appeal to the members of the Association, in behalf of the Committee on the Loan Fund, to aid us in every way either by contribu- ting themselves or urging others to contribute to replenish our exhausted treasury. The Loan Fund supplies a long felt want, and we who have seen what it has accomplished in the last year feel justified in begging for your hearty support and co-operation in extending its usefulness which, at present, means by increasing its funds.

GENERAL REPORT.

During the year 1895-96 the two regular meetings of the Alumnae Association have been held at Bryn Mawr, the first on November i6th, 1895, the second on June 4th, 1896. Two meetings of the Executive Committee have also been held in Philadelphia, the first on October 21st, the second on April 26th. The main business of the Executive Committee has been the collection of the Dr. James E. Rhoads Endowment Fund. In order' to ascertain how much could be added immediately to the sum already collected, printed circulars were sent to the Alumnae early in November, 1895, asking each one whether or not she could contribute to the fund before January ist, 1896, and in case she could, how much she was prepared to promise. Although a stamped. and directed envelope accompanied each of these appeals, but 70 of the 143 Alumnae returned any answers to the Committee. Of these 45 promised to contribute. In all, these appeals brought promises of $473, of which at the time of the June meeting, but $105 still remained unpaid. At that time the amount of the fund actually collected was $6, 106.77, showing an increase during the year, of $1,756.27. There were also out- standing promises to the amount of $405, which, when paid, will bring the total to $6,511.77, leaving $1,488.23 to be raised before the $8,000 fund will' be completed. ( For more recent figures see Treasurer's Report. In accordance with the motion made in June, 1895, nothing has been collected for the Alumnae Fund this year, nor will anything be called for until the Endowment Fund is completed. It was brought to the attention of the Executive Committee at the April meeting that the regular annual dues of no fewer than 41 Alumnae remained unpaid, and 5 of these had not been paid for two years, making in all $23.00 due the treasury. The Treasurer's account showed a balance of $4.00, left from last 3^ear, to be applied to the Association's share of the expenses of the Academic Committee, which amounted to $25.60. Un- less the delinquent members pay their dues at once, it will be necessary to assess the whole Association for what is due from them, to meet the expenses of the past year.

As the Alumnae Association is now increased by 44 new members, making the entire number 187, the dues of next year should bring in $93.50, while the expenses will probably not exceed $75.00. If, therefore, all the members could be in- duced to pay their dues promptly, a general assessment,- to meet the expenses of the Academic Committee "next year, will

' " •. not be necessary. . At the recommend ation of the Executive Committee the As- sociation at the June meeting gave to that Committee the power to make assessments at discretion, provided that the amount of such assessments should not exceed the amount of the annual dues. At the November meeting of the Association the chief matter of interest was the question of the class position of students taking their degrees in February. A motion was passed that the class position of mid-year students be left to their own decision, provided that they register their decision with the Sec- retary, on graduation. In case a student fails to register, she is registered with the class following the Februar}^ -in which she

. . is graduated. , No new committees have been appointed during the year. In the fall the Executive Committee appointed Margaret Hill Hilles, '93, collector of the Dr. James E. Rhoads Endowment Fund for her class, in the place of Ruth Emerson, who resigned. In April the Executive Committee, as usual, appointed the Auditing Committee and the Nominating Committee. The members of the Auditing Committee were ElizabethM. Blan- chard. Chairman, and. Anna" E. Rhoads; The members of the Nominating Committee were Henrietta R. Palmer, Chairman,

Katharine M.- Shipley, Emma S. Wines, Helen J. Robins, and

' * Nellie Neilson. . An important matter of discussion brought before the June meeting was how the standing committees, especially the Con- ference Committee, could be brought into closer connection with the Executive Committee. It was first proposed that the 5 chairman of the standing committees should be ex-officio members of the Executive Committee. This was objected to on the ground that it was unnecessary in the case of two out of the three committees, as the President attends the meetings of the Academic Committee, and the work of the Loan Fund Committee is of a definite nature. The only committee to be considered, therefore, was the Conference Committee. The motion was therefore passed that the Vice-President be made ex-officio member of the Conference Committee, and that Ar- ticle IV of the Constitution be amended to embody this change.* At the June meeting, also, great dissatisfaction was expressed at the time and trouble involved in the present method of electing officers. It was proposed that at least a month before the June meeting the Nominating Committee should send out to all members of the Association a ballot presenting alter-

• The Alumnce will learn with the deepest sorrow of the recent death of two of their number. Mary Taylor Mackenzie, of the Class of '92, died at Indianapolis on September 27th, 1896. Jane Scofield, of the Class of '91, died on July 27, 1896, at San Antonio, Texas. Ethel McCoy Walker, Secretary.

* As these motions propose amendments to the Constitution, it is necessary to vote upon them at the next meeting of the Association before they can be finally passed. REPORTS OF STANDING COMMITTEES.

REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE. The Academic Committee has held but one conference with President Thomas during the past year, namely, the one that was held the first week in December, The second conference, appointed for the first week in June, was postponed because of the absence of President Thomas from • the College. In consequence, the work that the Committee had planned for, the year has not been completed. Several investigations of subjects concerning the College and educational work in general had been underta- ken and carried on after the December conference. It is hoped that the Committee will be in a position to include in its next report some, at least, of the results of these investigations. The report for this year, however, although dealing with matters different from those contained in previous reports, is considered by the Com- mittee of especial importance. It is with great satisfaction that the Com- mittee finds itself able to inform the Alumnae Association that its formation has now received formal recognition from the Board of Trustees. The association will remember that when the Committee was organised in 1893, it was stated by the. President and the Dean of the College that as soon as the usefulness of the Committee had been proven, its formation would be formally recognised, and it would appear in the Program as a part of the regular organisation of the College. This year the Trust-ees, at a meeting held in May, " voted to approve the action of the President in recognising the formation of the Academic Committee." The names of the members of the Committee are printed in the Graduate Program of this year, and next year will be printed in the general Pro- gram.. Another very important part of the Committee's report concerns proposed changes-in the "Agreement" drawn up in 1S93 between the Academic Committee and the President and the Dean of the College.

This agreement read as follows : " In order to establish an official means of communication between the authorities and the Alumnas Association of Bryn Mawr College, the Alumnae Association has a:ppointed a committee, known as the Academic Committee, to confer with the President and the Dean on all matters of interest connected with the College. The Pi-esident and the Dfean in accordance with the petition laid 'before them by said Committee,

( I ) have recognised said Committee as the official means of commu-

' • nication with the Alumnae Association ; (2) have appointed stated times for conference, namely two in each year, said times to be the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, or a day

" (6 ) . near that date at the discretion of the Committee, and the day after the conferring of degrees, or a day near that date at the discretion of the Com-

mittee ; for ( 3 ) have granted to the Committee power to call special meetings any imperative business.

Since the abolishment of the office of Dean the conferences of the Com- mittee have been held with the President alone. Now, with the approval of President Thomas, the Committee presents the following recom-

mendations to the Alumnae Association :

( I ) That the President of Bryn Mawr College be asked to appoint two members of the Faculty to join her each year in the second regular conference with the Academic Committee of the Alumnae Association.

( 2 ) That these members of the Faculty shall serve on the conference for one year, and may be reappointed at the pleasure of the President. (3) That the Academic Committee of the Alumnae Association be privileged to ask the President to invite also any other members of the

Faculty to either conference, if their presence is especially desired. The Committee also recommends, with the approval of President Thomas, that the time of the conferences be changed, in order that the academic rather than the calender year may be divided. The Com- mittee proposes as approximate dates for the two conferences, the end of January or first of February, and the end of May or first of June. Annie Crosby Emery, Secretary.

At the June meeting of the Alumnae Association a motion was passed that Section 11 of the motion relating to the organization of the Academic Committee be so changed as to embody the above recommendations of that committee. This motion will be voted upon again at the fall meeting. Ethel McCoy Walker, Secretary.

REPORT OF THK CONFERENCE COMMITTEE. During the academic year 1895-96 the Conference Committee held two regular and five special meetings, that is, it averaged about one meeting a. month. The meetings were always well attended by the members of the Undergraduate and Graduate Conference Committees, but all the members of the Alumnae Committee were not regular in their attendance. Inasmuch as the Alumnae proposed the formation of this joint committee, and as both the graduates and undergraduates are showing an interest in it, it is to be hoped that the Alumnae members will do their best to make the work of the Committee what it should be.

The year has been a very successful one for the College. In all, the students attending courses at Bryn Mawr during the past year numbered about 300, and of these 50 were graduate students. The halls of residence were comfortably filled, and in consequence of the new arrangement by which a certain part of each hall is set aside for the graduates. the college life has been very pleasant and free from friction. The Gradu- ate Club held its regular informal meetings, and several times during the

year had interesting lectures given them by outsiders ; while athletics, the Philosophical Club, the De Rebus Club, the College Settlement As- sociation, the Christian Union, the Temperance Association, and the Missionary Association shared the interest of the undergraduates. As the President of the College in her annual report gives a full list of those

who address any of these associations, it is not necessary to enumerate them here. Basket-ball has been the chief feature of the athletics, and the students are now rejoicing in a fine athletic field situated below the professor's houses near old Yarrow Road. Part of the money for the ' field was raised by the students and the remainder was given by the

College. . • , Two questions of general interest came before the students during the

year : one concerning both graduates and undergraduates, and therefore

dealt with by the self-government Association ; the other concerning undergraduates only, and therefore coming under the jurisdiction of the Undergraduate Association. The first was a question of chaperonage. Generally speaking no student has been allowed to go toplaces of public amusement without a chaperone, although certain graduate students at their own request have been put on the list of chaperones authorised by the college. " Feeling this restriction to be burdensome, the graduates

asked that they might be allowed to go and come as tiiey pleased ; but to this the undergraduates objected on the ground that in both Under- graduate and Graduate bodies there were students who might well, have

this privilege and those t'o whom it should not be granted, arguing further that whereas all the students lived, together, they should, as far as the social life was concerned, be governed by the same rules. It was, therefore, agreed that all students, whether undergraduates or graduates, under twenty-five years of age should not go to places of public amusement without chaperones, w^hile all those of twenty-five years or over

were to be free to go alone. ,

-Of more importance to the Alumnae is the discussion that came up in the Undergraduate Association regarding the publication of The Lantern. Several efforts were made by the board of editors to get enough good

articles to justify their bringing out The Lantern in June ; but finding this impossible, they, resigned. A committee was appointed for the purpose of collecting material" during the surnmer. It will report this fall, and if

it has been successful, The Lantern will be published during the autumn ; otherwise the undergraduates will take some definite action regarding it. It has been suggested by some of the undergraduates that the standard

of The Lanter?i be lowered ; others feel that rather than this should happen, it would be better to have no magaz.ine ; while still others—and these are many—are wholly indifferent about the matter. If the Alumnae have any suggestions to make, the chairman of the Conference Committee will gladly receive them, and would like to have them before the first week' in November ('96 ) when the joint committee meets. It seems a —

great pity that The Lantern should either lower its standard or cease to

exist if the aliimnaj can do anything to prevent. The Fortnightly Phil- istine, with which many of the undergraduates have expressed themselves

as discontented, continued its pul)lications throughout the year ; and in June appeared a magazine, more brief and less comprehensive than The Lttfitern, called The Looking- Glass. Evangeline Walker Andrews, Chairman.

REPORT OF THE STUDENTS' LOAN FUND COM- MITTEE. The Students' Loan Fund Committee has met twice during the year 1895-96, and has received appeals for aid from six students for 1895-96, and from two students for 1896-97. Of these five students were loaned money for use during the year 1895-96, and one was refused help, owing to the almost depleted state of the treasury at that time. The two appeals for 1896-97 have not yet come before the Committee. In December 1895 a printed statement of the work of the Committee from November 1892 until that date was circulated among former contributors and others,

whom it was hoped to interest in the Loan Fund. Several contributions were received in response to these circulars.

The account of the Treasurer follows :

RECEIPTS. Balance, June 4th, 1895, .... ' Donations, . . . . .

Partial payment of one loan, with interest, . Interest on deposit at Girard Trust Co.,

Total, EXPENDITURES.

Loans to 3 students (^200 each), . . $ 600 00 " " 2 " (|ioo each), . . . 200 00

Printing circulars andreceipt blanks, . . 6 75

Total, . . . . . I 806 75

Balance, June 4th, 1896, . . . . $ 219 12

With this small balance at its disposal the Committee has already the two appeals from students for 1896-97, (referred to above) amounting together to I450, and will almost certainly have several more, as until this year the applications have not come in before June or July and often later. The Committee feels that in every case the loans have been made to students who could probably not have obtained the money required for their work in College in any other way, and would emphasise the important place that a fund of this kind holds in the list of means of helping students obtain their education. 10 •

The usefulness of the Loan Fund cannot be maintained and increased, as it should be, without the continued interest and support of each Alumna of Bryn Mawr, and the Committee would cordially ask for this

co-operation. - ... On behalf of the Committee, Martha Gibbons Thomas, Secretary and Treasurer.

REPORT OF- COMMITTEE ON HEAI^TH STATISTICS.

Since the last meeting of the Alumnae Association 6 sets of answers have been received by this Committee. The total number received has

be'en 62, a little more than one-third of the whole number sent out ; 200 copies of the questions have been ordered at a cost to the College of $21.75. Jane Louise Brownell, Chairman.

ACADEMIC NOTES.

Though the Academi'c staff of Bryn Mawr will be larger this coming

year, it loses one of its old members. Dr. Charles Andrew Barneaud, Reader in Italian, has resigned, and his place will be filled by Dr. Fred- eric M. Page, Reader in Romance Languages at Bryn Mawr College

- - " . T891-1895. , Dr. Oliver Johnston, A. B., Mississippi College, Ph. D., John Hopkins, has been appointed lecturer in French Philology. •^

, Dr. Max F. Blau, Ph. D., Leipzig, has been appointed assistant lecturer in German Literature. Dr. Hermann Lukens, who has studied under Dr. Stanley Hall, will lecture twice a week on the History of Education and Pedagogy. The course is .open not only to students of Bryn Mawr, but free, of. charge to

' any outsiders who may care to take it. , Dr. Lightner Witmer, of the University of Pennsylvania, will' give a course in experimental Psychology, comprising both lecture and labora-

* • tory work. . The attention of the Alumnae is called to a recent book published by the Macmillan Company, entitled Handbook of Courses Open to Women in British, Continental, and Canadiafi Universities. It has been compiled for the Graduate Club of Bryn Mawr College by Miss Isabel Maddison. A few selections from the preface will explain the purpose of the book :— ** The many graduates of Bryn Mawr College who in the last few years II

have wished to continue their studies abroad, have strongly feU the need of a handbook defining the position of the different foreign universities in regard to the admission of women to their courses, and giving for foreign universities and colleges particulars such as are given for American universities and colleges in Graduate Courses, a handbook published originally by the Graduate Club of Harvard University, and later by the Federation of Graduate Clubs. An editorial committee, consisting of members of the club, corresponded with women studying abroad, addressed incjuiries to the authorities of all the foreign universities, and collected calendars and other official publications. The information gathered from these different sources has been put together in a condensed form, and it is hoped that the alphabetical arrangement adopted will be found convenient for reference. It is intended that a new edition of the handbook shall be issued yearly. The Gradu- ate Club of Bryn Mawr College is glad to allow the members of other colleges to make use of its collection of official programs and calendars ; particular books will be lent for a few days to applicants prepaying postage. All communications in regard to the Handbook, and all requests for programs and calendars, should be addressed to Miss Isabel Maddison, President of the Graduate Club, Bryn Mawr College, Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania."

GENERAL REPORT.

the $8,000 fund will be completed. ( For more recent figures see Treasurer's Report. In accordance with the motion made in June, 1895, nothing has been collected for the Alumnae Fund this year, nor will anything be called for until the Endowment Fund is completed. . It was brought to the attention of the Executive Committee at the April meeting that the regular annual dues of no fewer than 41 Alumnae remained unpaid, and 5 of these had not been paid for two years, making in all $23.00 due the treasury. The Treasurer's account showed a balance of $4.00, left from last year, to be applied to the^ Association's share of the expenses of the Academic Committee, which amounted to $25.60. Un- less the delinquent members pay their' dues at once, it will be necessary to assess the whole Association for what is due from them, to meet the expenses of the past year.

As the Alumnae Association is now increased by 44 new members, making the entire number 1871 the dues of next year should bring in $93.50, while the expenses will probably not exceed $75.00. If, therefore, all the members could be in- duced to pay their dues promptly, a general assessment,- to meet the expenses of the Academic Committee" next year, will

' "

. • not be necessary. . At the recommendation of the Executive Committee the As- sociation at the June meeting gave to that Committee the power to make assessments at discretion, provided that the amount of such assessments should not exceed the amount of the annual dues. - At the November meeting of the Association the chief matter of interest was the question of the. class position of students taking their degrees in February. A motion was passed that the class position of mid-year students be left to their own decision, provided that they register their decision with the Sec- retary, on graduation. In case a student fails to register, she is registered with the class following the February -in which she

, is graduated. , No new committees have been appointed during the year. In the fall the Executive Committee appointed Margaret Hill Hilles, '93, collector of the Dr. James E. Rhoads Endowment Fund for her class, in the place of Ruth Emerson, who resigned. In April the Executive Committee, as usual, appointed the Auditing Committee and the Nominating Committee. The members of the Auditing Committee were Elizabetb M. Blan- chard. Chairman,. and Anna E. Rhoads. The members of the Nominating Committee were Henrietta R. Palmer, Chairman,

Katharine M". Shipley, Emma S. Wines, Helen J. Robins, and Nellie Neilson. An important matter of -discussion brought before the June .meeting was how the standing committees, especially the Con- ference Committee, could be brought into closer connection with the'Executive Committee. It was first proposed that the 5 chairman of the standing committees should be ex-officio members of the Executive Committee. This was objected to on the ground that it was unnecessary in the case of two out of the three committees, as the President attends the meetings of the Academic Committee, and the work of the Loan Fund Committee is of a definite nature. The only committee to be considered, therefore, was the Conference Committee. The motion was therefore passed that the Vice-President be made ex-officio member of the Conference Committee, and that Ar- ticle IV of the Constitution be amended to embody this change.'"^ At the June meeting, also, great dissatisfaction was expressed at the time and trouble involved in the present method of electing officers. It was proposed that at least a month before the June meeting the Nominating Committee should send out to all members of the Association a ballot presenting alter-

nate nominees for offices ; that the written ballot be returned to the Secretary before June ist, and the resulting elections be announced at the meeting. It was understood by this motion that the ticket could be scratched.* The Executive Committee regret that this report should have been delayed until fall. As many of the class records, however, have been very late in coming in, it seemed better to postpone the publication of the report rather than to omit a portion of it entirely. The Alumnse will learn with the deepest sorrow of the recent death of two of their number. Mary Taylor Mackenzie, of the Class of '92, died at Indianapolis on September 27th, 1896. Jane Scofield, of the Class of '91, died on July 27, 1896, at San Antonio, Texas. Ethei. McCoy Walker, Secretary.

* As these motions propose amendments to the Constitution, it is necessary to vote upon them at the next meeting of the Association before they can be finally \ REPORTS OF STANDING COMMITTEES.

REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE. The Academic Committee has held but one conference with President

Thomas during the past year, namely, the one that was held the first week in December; The second conference, appointed for the first week in June, was postponed because of the absence of President Thomas from

, the College. In consequence, the work that the Committee had planned for the year has not been completed. Several investigations of subjects concerning the College and educational work in general had been underta-

ken and carried on after the December conference. It is hoped that the Committee will be in a position to include in its next report some, at least, of the results of these investigations. The report for this year, however, although dealing with matters differ-

ent from those contained in previous reports, is. considered by the Com- mittee of especial importance. It is with great satisfaction that the Com- mittee finds itself able to inform the Alurnnae Association that, its formation has now received formal recognition from the Board of Trustees. The association will remember that" when the Committee was organised in 1893, it was stated by the President and the Dean of the College that as soon as the usefulness of the Committee had been proven, its formation would be formally recognised, and it would appear in the Program as a part of the regular organisation of the College; This year the Trustees, at a meeting held in May, ".voted to approve the action of the President in recognising the formation of the Academic Committee." The names of the members of the Committee are printed in the Graduate Program of this year, and next year will be printed in the general Pro-

' gram. . Another very important part of the Committee's report concerns proposed changes in the "Agreement" drawn up in 1893 between the Academic Committee and the President and the Dean of the College.

This agreement read as follows : "In drder to establish an official means of communication between the authorities and the Alumnae Association of Bryn Mawf College, the Alumnae Association has appointed a committee, known as the Academic Committee, to, confer with the President and the Dean on all matters of interest connected with the College/ ' The President and the Dean in accordance with the petition laid before by. said Committee, them .

( I ) have recognised said Committee as the official means of corhmu- •nication with the Alumnae Association ;

( 2 ) have appointed stated times for conference, namely two in each year, said- times to be the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, or a day

. . ( 6 ) near that date at the discretion of the Committee, and the day after the conferring of degrees, or a day near that date at the discretion of the Com-

mittee ; to call special meetings for ( 3 ) have granted to the Committee power any imperative business.

( 2 ) That these members of the Faculty shall serve on the conference for one year, and may be reappointed at the pleasure of the President.

( 3 ) That the Academic Committee of the Alumnae Association be privileged to ask the President to invite also any other members of the

At the June meeting of the Alumnae Association a motion was passed that Section ii of the motion relating to the organization of the Academic Committee be so changed as to embody the above recommendations of that committee. This motion will be voted upon again at the fall meeting. Ethel McCoy Walker, Secretary.

REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE. During the academic year 1895-96 the Conference Committee held two regular and five special meetings, that is, it averaged about one meeting a month. The meetings were always well attended by the members of the Undergraduate and Graduate Conference Committees, but all the members of the Alumnae Committee were not regular in their attendance. Inasmuch as the Alumnae proposed the formation of this joint committee, and as both the graduates and undergraduates are showing an interest in it, it is to be hoped that the Alumnae members will do their best to make the work of the Committee what it should be.

The year has been a very successful one for the College. In all", the students attending courses at Bryn Mawr during the past year numbered about 300, and of these 50 were graduate students. The halls of residence were comfortably filled, and in consequence of the new arrangement by which a certain part of each hall is set aside for the graduates, the college life has been very pleasant and free from friction. The Gradu- ate Club held its regular inforrrial meetings, and several times during the

the President of the College in her annual report gives a full list of those

who address any of these associations, it. is not necessary to enumerate them here. Basket-ball has been the chief feature of the athletics, and the students are now rejoicing in a fine athletic field situated below the

professor's houses near old Yarrow Road. Part of the money for .the . field was raised by the students and the remainder was given. by the

'Callege. . . Two questions of general interest came before the students during the

year : one concerning both graduates and undergraduates, and therefore

dealt with by the self-government Association ; the other concerning undergraduates only, and therefore coming under the jurisdiction of the Undergraduate Association. The first was a question of chaperonage. Generally speaking no student has been allowed to go toplaces of public amusement without a chaperone, although certain graduate students

at their own request have been put on the list of chaperones authorised

by the college. - Feeling this restriction to be burdensome, the graduates

asked that they might be allowed to go and come as they pleased ; but to this the undergraduates objected on the ground that in both Under- graduate and Graduate bodies there were students who might well have

this privilege and those to whom it should not be granted, arguing further that whereas all the students lived together, they should, as far as the social life was concerned, be governed by the same rules. It was, therefore, agreed that all students, wheth'er undergraduates or graduates, under twenty-fiye years of age should not go to places of public amusement without chaperones, while all those of twenty-five years or over were io be free to go alone.

Of more importance to the Alumnae is the discussion that came up in the Undergraduate Association regarding the publication of T^e Lant&rn. Several efforts were made by the board of editors to get enough good

articles to justify their bringing out The Lantern in June ; but finding this impossible, they resigned, A committee was appointed for the purpose of collecting material during the summer. It-will report this'fall, and if

it has been successful, The Lantern will be published during the autumn ; otherwise the undergraduates will. take some definite action regarding it. It has been suggested by some of the undergraduates that the st«andard

of The Lantern be lowered ; others feel that rather than' this should — happen, it would be better to have no magazine ; while still others ^and these are many—are wholly indifferent about the matter. If the Alumnae have any suggestions to make, the chairman of the Conference Committee' will gladly-receive them, and would like to have them before the first week, in November. ('96 ) when the joint committee meets. It seems a —

great pity that The Lantern should either lower its standard or cease to

exist if the alumnce can do anything to prevent. The Fortnightly Phil- istine, with which many of the undergraduates have expressed themselves

as discontented, continued its publications throughout the year ; and in June appeared a magazine, more brief and less comprehensive than The La7itern, called The Lookitig- Glass. Evangeline Walker Andrews, Chairman.

The account, of the Treasurer follows :

receipts.

Balance, June 4th, 1895, $ 668 90

Donations, . 236 00

Partial payment of one loan, with interest, . no 50 Interest on deposit at Girard Trust Co., TO 47

Total, II025 87 expenditures.

Loans to 3 students (|2oo each), $ 600 00 " " 2 " ($iQo each), 200 00 Printing circulars and receipt blanks, 6 75

Total, . . . . . $ 806 75

Balance, June 4th, 1896, . . . . $ 219 12

With this small balance at its disposal the Committee has already the two appeals from students for 1896-97, (referred to above) amounting together to I450, and will almost certainly have several more, as until this year the applications have not come in before June or July and often later. The Committee feels that in every case the loans have been made to students who could probably not have obtained the money recjuired for their work in College in any other way, and would emphasise the important place that a fund of this kind holds in the list of means of helping students obtain their education. —

The usefulness of the Loan J^und cannot be maintained ^nd increased, as it should be, without the continued interest and support of each Alumna of Rryn Mawr, and the Committee 'would cordially ask for this

• co-operation. , On behalf of the Committee, Martha Gibbons Thomas, Secretary and Treasurer.

REPORT OF COMMITTKK ON HKALTH STATISTICS.

Since the last meeting of the Alumnae Association 6 sets of answers ,have been received by this Committee. The total number received has been a little one-third 62, more than of the whole number sent out ;. 200 copies of the questions have been ordered at a cost to the College of $21.75. Jane Louise Brownell, Chairman.

. • tory work; . The attention of the Alumnae is called to a recent book published by \ the Macmillan Company, entitled Ha?idbook of Courses Open to Warften in British, Continental,, ajid Ca?iadian Universities. It has been compiled for the Graduate Club of Bryn Mawr College by Miss Isabel Maddison.

A few selections from the preface will explain the purpose of the book : "The many graduates of Bryn Mawr College who in the last few years 1

1 have wished to continue their studies abroad, have strongly felt the need of a handbook defining the position of the different foreign universities in regard to the admission of women to their courses, and giving for foreign universities and colleges particulars such as are given for American universities and colleges in Gradtiate Courses, a handbook published originally by the Graduate Club of Harvard University, and later by the Federation of Graduate Clubs. An editorial committee, consisting of members of the club, corresponded with women studying abroad, addressed inquiries to the authorities of all the foreign universities, and collected calendars and -other official publications. The information gathered from these different sources has been put together in a condensed form, and it is hoped that the alphabetical arrangement adopted will be found convenient for reference. It is intended that a new edition of the handbook shall be issued yearly. The Gradu- ate Club of Bryn Mawr College is glad to allow the members of other colleges to make use of its collection of official programs and calendars ; particular books will be lent for a few days to applicants prepaying postage. All communications in regard to the Handbook, and all requests 'for programs and calendars, should be addressed to Miss Isabel Maddison, President of the Graduate Club, Bryn Mawr College, Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania."

During the year 1896-97, the Alumnae Association has held three meetings at Bryn Mawr, the first on November 21st, 1896, the second on April loth, 1897, and the third on June 3d, 1897. Seven meetings of the Executive Committee have also been held. At the meeting of the Association held November 21st, the proposed amendments to the Constitution brought forward at

the meeting held June 4th, 1896, were decided as follows : In regard to the Academic Committee the motion was passed that Section 11 of the motion referring to the organization of the Academic Committee be amended to embody the re-

commendations of that Committee. ( For these recommenda-

tions see Report for 1895-96, page 7. ) In regard to elections and appointments the motion was

passed that Article iv. Section 5, of the Constitution be amended

' to read : ' The officers with the members of the Conference Committee shall be elected by ballot of the whole Association, and shall hold office for one year or until others be elected in

their places, and they shall have power to fill any vacancy that may occur in their number." The two following sections were added as By-laws to the

• Constitution :

( I ) That at least one month before the June meeting, the Nominating Committee shall send out to all members of the

Association a ballot, presenting, whenever possible, uitimatc** //i^ < ^ /t- nominees for offices of the Association and for Chairman and members of the Conference Committee ; that the written ballot shall be returned to the Secretary before June ist, and the resulting election be announced at the June meeting.

(2 J That the Nominating Committee send out notices to all members of the Association requesting nominations for the

Academic Committee ; that the five members receiving the

I greater number of votes be considered nominees ; that the Nomi-

nating Committee have power to add nominees of its own ; that the list of nominees thus completed be sent out with the ballot for officers of the Association, and that the resulting vote elect the members of the Academic Committee.

Further motions passed at this meeting were as follows : That the Chair appoint the Nominating and Auditing Committees not later than the first of February preceding the elections, and if possible in time for these appointments to be announced at the Fall meeting. That an Alumnae luncheon be substituted for the Alumnae supper. Acting in accordance with these and with previous motions, the Chair appointed the following Committees : As members of the Nominating Committee, F^dith Sampson

Westcott, Chairman ; Susan Grimes Walker, Kmily James Smith, Mary Delia Hopkins, and Edith Wetherill in place of Ida

Wood, resigned. . As members of the Auditing Committee, Elizabeth Miller Blanchard and Abby Kirk. As members of the Luncheon Committee, Mary Virginia Crawford and Helen T. Robins. The most important business of the Association has been the completion of the James E.Rhoads Endowment Fund, the investment of this fund, and the determination of the conditions under which the scholarships from the fund should be awarded. The investment of the fund brought up the question of the incorporation of the Alumnae Association, and the question of incorporation led to the revision of the Constitution and' By-laws of the Alumnae Association. - Following the suggestion of the Class Collectors, a motion was passed at the meeting of the Alumnae Association on No- vember ^ist, that an appeal -be made at once to each ipember of the Association, through the Cl-ass Collectors, for contributions to the James E. Rhoads Endowment Fund, to be paid monthly from January to June." In consequence of this appeal and of further efforts on the part of the Alumnae^ the amount necessary to complete the fund was pi-omised by January ist, 1897. As soon as the fund was assured, the Executive Committee consulted, the. President and Trustees of the College in regard :

to its investment. The Committee proposed to give the fund

outright to the Board of Trustees rather than to leave it to the management of the Association because the College could guar- antee a higher rate of interest than the Alumnae could get by their own investments, and because the Alumnae of to-day who have raised the fund, might in this way have the assurance that no matter how radically the management and policy of the College or of the Association might change, the fund would continue to draw a fixed amount of interest, and the scholarships to be awarded annually. The gift was accepted at a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on April 14th, 1897, ^^^

was embodied in the following form in the minutes of the Board : " On consideration it was on motion unanimously decided that the Trustees of Bryn Mawr College accept the sum of Eight Thousand Dollars ($8,000) raised by the Alumnae Association of the College as a fund for scholarships at the College in memory of Dr. James E. Rhoads, its first President^ and that the Cor- poration, in consideration of this loving memorial gift and in testimony of its appreciation thereof, agree to pay to the Alumnae Association of the College $500 annually, for ten years, for such scholarships. At the end of that time, the amount of this annual payment is to be readjusted, but the Corporation hereby agrees that it shall never be less than $400 per annum. The first payment to be for the College Year 1897-98." This very generous offer on the part of the Trustees was accepted by the Executive Committee acting for the Alumnae Association. The conditions under which the scholarships from this fund should be awarded had been decided at a meeting of the Alumnae Association held June 6th, 1895. I'he Executive Committee, however, feeling that these conditions were not entirely satisfactory, submitted to the Association at the meeting held April ipth, 1897, several proposed amendments to the motions already passed. These amendments were not adopted, but the question was reconsidered at the meeting of the Association held on June 3d, 1897, ^^1^ the following motions were adopted as final

I. The interest from the James E. Rhoads Endowment Fund shall be given each year in two scholarships of equal value..

II. One of these scholarships shall be known as the James E. Rhoads Sophomore Scholarship, and shall be open only to those students who have completed College work amounting to not less than ten and not more than twenty-two and a-half hours (three semester's work) for a year, and have been in attendance upon lectures at Bryn Mawr College not less than one semester.

III. The second of these scholarships shall be known as the James K. Rhoads Junior Scholarship and shall be open only to those students who have completed college work amounting to not less than twenty and not more than thirty-seven and a-half hours (five semester's work) for a year, and have been in attendance upon lectures at Bryn Mawr not less than three semesters.

IV. To be eligible for either of these two scholarships a student shall have obtained a high degree of excellence in her work, shall express her intention of fulfilling the requirements for the degree of A. B. at Bryn Mawr College, and shall prove to the satisfaction of the Committee h^r need of financial aid.

V. In case in any year the Committee shall find no candidate fulfilling the requirements for the Sophomore or for the Junior Scholarship, it shall dispose of the money in one of two ways : it shall award it in the form of a scholarship or scholarships to any Bryn Mawr undergraduate or undergraduates who can meet the requirements enumerated in Section iv, or' shall give it outright to the Students' lyoan Fund Committee for that

year. ,

VI. In case either scholarship is awarded to a non-resident student, its value shall not exceed the amount of one hundred and twenty-five dollars ($125.00) and the remaining, one hundred and twenty-five shall be disposed of in one of the two ways mentioned in Section v of this Article.

VII. The money for these scholarships shall be given in the following division : One, hundred and seventy-five dollars ($175.00) at the beginning of. the first semester of the year in

which the scholarships are awarded, and seventy-five ' dollars ($75.00) at the beginning of -the second semester. In case either scholarship goes to a non-resident student, the sum of one hundred and twenty-five dollars ($125.00) shall be paid in full at the beginning of the first semester of the year in which the scholarship is awarded. VIII. The Scholarships shall be awarded by a Committee consisting of the President of the Alumnse Association and three other Alumnse appointed by the Executive Committee, the President of the College and two members of the Academic Council of the Faculty appointed annually by that Council.

IX. The successful candidate or candidates shall be given honorable mention in the College Program, together with the holders of the Bryn Mawr and Garrett fellowships and scholarships. The Executive Committee at a meeting on May 17th, acting under the earlier resolutions in regard to the disposition of the James E. Rhoads Endowment Fund, appointed as members of the Committee to award the scholarships, Anna Ely Rhoads, Henrietta Palmer and Mary Bidwell Breed. The Academic Council of the Faculty of Bryn Mawr College appointed as members of this Committee, Dr. Herbert Weir Smyth, Dr. Arthur Stanley Mackenzie and Dr. Charles McLean Andrews. The Committee composed of these six members, the President of the College and the President of the Alumnae Association, awarded the scholarships for the year 1897-98 to Cora Hardy, of the class of '99, and to Dorothea Farquhar, of the class of 1900. The Executive Committee found that in order to make the conditions of this transference of money from the Alumnae As-

sociation to the Trustees legally binding, it would be necessary to have in the Deed of Trust a reverting clause which should provide that the Endowment Fund return to the Alumnae in case the conditions under which it was transferred were ever violated. As, however, such a clause would have no meaning unless the Alumnae Association were recognized by law, and as, apart from this special case it seemed desirable that the Asso-

ciation should have a legal standing in order to enable it to hold property, a motion was passed at the meeting held April loth that the Alumnae Association of Bryn Mawr College should be incorporated. Since then the Executive Committee has taken the necessary steps and by July, 1897, the Association will be a corporation under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania. In order that the Constitution might meet the requirements of the Courts, its revision has been a necessary part of the act of incorporation. At the meeting of the Association in April a motion was passed providing for the appointment of a committee to revise the Constitution and By-Ivaws. Martha Gibbons Thomas and Madelaine Vaughan Abbott were appointed. The Constitution or Charter was drawn up in the correct legal form and the By-I^aws revised by the Committee were submitted to the Association at the June meeting. A motion was passed that the revised By-I^aws should be accepted temporarily and their working tested for a year. The main features of the amendment to the Constitution and of the new By-Iyaws passed

November 2 1 St, 1896, are incorporated in the present revision of the By-I/aws. Kthki. McCoy WaIvKKR, Recording Secretary. REPORTS OF STANDING COMMITTEES.

REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE. The Academic Committee has held two conferences with President Thomas during the past year, the first taking place in February and the second in June. At the June conference Dr. Smyth and Dr. Warren were present as representatives of the Faculty. The discussions of the year have been of unusual interest. In Feb- ruary the chief topics for consideration were the influence of the Bryn Mawr matriculation examinations on the preparatory schools, and the standards for admission of graduate students to the College. In June the question of the matriculation examinations was again considered, and discussions were also held on the requirement of fifteen hours a week for the A. B. degree, and on the advantages and disadvantages for undergraduate instruction of a modification of the German lecture system by the introduction of some features of the English tutorial system. The discussions that take place at the conferences require preparatory investigation on the part of the Academic Committee, and not infrequently lead to more extended investigation of educational problems. The Com- mittee carries on its work throughout the year by means of sub-committees and correspondence. Often, however, the results of any par-

ticular investigation must be the fruit of several years of effort, and it

would be as impossible as it would be unnecessary to report to the Alumnae Association all details of the work.

• The purpose of the Academic Committee is to enable the Alumnce to exercise in the matters that concern the College whatever influence their intimate knowledge of its conditions and needs may warrant, and to work together with the College in furthering the best interests of education. The Committee hopes to meet with increasing success from year to year in the accomplishment of this purpose. Annie Crosby Emery, Chairman.

REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE. The Conference Committee held six meetings during the academic

year 1896-97 ; Mrs. Andrews in almost every case, entertained the Com- mittee at her house, and the attendance has been excellent. An unusual number of public lectures have been given at the College during the year, and have been attended by large numbers of students and guests. A list of the lectures is given in the President's report, with the list of lectures and addresses that have been delivered under the

( 9 ) lO

auspices of the Graduate Club, the Philosophical Club, the De Rebus Club, the Bryri Mawr Chapter of the College Settlement Association, the Christian Union, the Temperance Association and the Missionary As- sociation. During the second semester, the order of Wednesday evening meetings

has been changed : the regular meeting is held every other week, and is conducted by a well known preacher, who is secured by the College. It has been found that the interest of the students in the meeting has increased, and the attendance is larger than heretofore. At the request of some of the students. Dr. Barton conducts a meeting on the alternate Wednesday, in "one of the halls of residence. It is now customary, at morning Chapel and on Wednesday evenings, to sing hymns which are led by a few of the students. Every other Tuesday evening, Mr. Sailer c-onducts a Bible Class of students, and on Sunday there is a Bible Class in each hall of residence, under the auspices of the Christian Union. This society has also organized work among the maids, and at the Bryn Mawr Hospital. Besides the annual Sophomore and Freshman plays, the College Breakfast, &c., there have been several entertainments during the year. Mr. Walker and a quartette connected with Hampden sang before the students. An entertainment, which was originally given at the Col- lege Settlement in Philadelphia, was repeated at the College for the benefit of a child to be sent to the country ; the programme included a representation of "Alice in Wonderland," Shadow-pictures, and music from the Banjo Club. At the Junior supper for the Seniors, a dramatic representation of the '* Rose and the Ring" was very successfully produced. Finally the Kneisel Quartette of Boston gave a concert in the

gymnasium which met with unqualified success ; the concert not only paid for itself, by the private sale of tickets, but the interest was so great among the faculty, students and friends of the College, that it has- been proposed to continue the plan another year, and perhaps even to have a series of quartette concerts.

.The College has given its two regular receptions, the second' in honor of Monsieur and Madame Brunetiere and Madame Blanc. Dhring the last weeks of the year, the Mistresses of the halls have been *'at home" on

Fridays. . The Glee Club held no meetings until the latter parrt of the year, when it was reorganized under Mr. Barrington as leader ;, in order to ensure k good standard of work, the voices are selected by .the leader. The interest in "out-of-door athletics is unabated and a new basket- ball team has been organized among the graduate students gymnasium ; exercise, on the other hand, is more and more at a discount. A tennis tournament was played in the fall, and during the winter there has been skating. on the new athletic field, which, after several experiments, .was finally flooded, at great expense, with city water. Basket-ball holds its own as the most popular sport, and the class games have been of great moment during the spring. The " Fortnightly Philistme " has continued to appear, and the new issue of the Lantern will have been noted by all the alumnae. The stu" dents take pride in the fact that a freshman won in the competition for the Lantern Poster. The Graduate Club has published a " Hand-book of Courses open to Women, m British, Continental atid Canadian U7iiversities.'" It has been recently announced that an infirmary tax of $5.00 annually will be levied on each student ; the fund thus established will be used towards defraying the expenses of students who are ill enough at College to require the services of a trained nurse.

REPORT OF THE STUDENTS' I.OAN FUND COM- MITTEE. The Students Loan Fund Committee has met four times during the past year. Loans have been made to three students amounting to five fifty hundred and fifty dollars ( $550.00 ). One hundred and dollars

) five for ( I150.00 have been returned to the fund, and applications the year 1897-98 have been granted to the amount of eight hundred dollars (I800.00). The Committee has used every effort to obtain contributions for the fund, and it received in all eight hundred and seventy two dollars

(I872.00). . With the steady growth of the College there is an increase each year in the number of applications from students needing assistance from the fund. That its usefulness may be maintained it should have an endowment of at least five thousand dollars ( I5, 000.00 ). The Committee has been encouraged by the interest shown by the class of '97 in a plan laid before them, viz : for several of their number, ( those representing different sections of the country,) to co-operate with it in raising as much of this sum as is possible the coming year. If each class as it is graduated would feel the importance of supporting a work of this kind some of the glory of 1890 might be shafed. A Students' Loan Fund founded by Students should be supported in part at least by Students. On behalf of the Committee, Julia Cope Collins, Chairman, pro tein.

The Alumnse Association has held two regular meetings, both at Bryn Mawr, during the year 1897-98; the first meeting on November 28th, 1897, and the second on June 2d, 1898. The Executive Committee met ten times during the year, and the work of the Association, which ha^ been carried on largely by the Executive Committee, has consisted to a great extent in bringing to their completion measures that were begun during the preceding year. The most important questions that have come before the Association and the Executive Committee have been (a) the incorporation of the Association, (b) the transfer of the James E. Rhoads Scholarships Fund to the Trustees, (c) the selection of a design for a corporate seal, and (d) the final revision of the by-laws. On account of an unavoidable delay in obtaining a charter for the Association, the formal transfer of the James E. Rhoads Scholarships Fund to the Trustees of the College was postponed until January, 1898. The Executive Com- mittee secured the services of Mr. John C. Bell, and under his direction a Deed of Gift was drawn up which embodies the resolutions adopted by the Association June 3d, 1897, defines the conditions under which the scholarships are to be awarded, and states those under which the trust is accepted by the Trustees. On January 21st, 1898, the sum of

;^8, 133.34 was transferred to the Trustees; this amount representing the principal, $.8,000.00, and five per cent, interest on $8,000.00 from September, 1897 (the time at which the transfer of the money should have been made), to the date in January on which the conveyance actually took place.

In the report for 1896-97 it was stated that by July, 1897, the Alumnffi Association, would be a corporation under the of State of Pennsylvania. however^ the laws the , When,

Executive Committee met in October, 1897, it was learned from Mr. Henry Brownback, the lawyer, through whom application had been made to the Court of Montgomery County, that the Court had refused to grant the Alumn?3 Association a charter on the ground that the purpose for which the Association existed was not sufficient to warrant incorporation. A second application was made, in which the purpose was set forth more fully, and in Decem.ber, • 1897, the charter was obtained. The incorporation of the Association has made necessary the adoption of a seal to be used in business transactions.

The Executive Committee has consulted the former presi-- dents of the Association, the class secretaries, and several other members of the Association in regard to a suitable design for such a seal. The general, opinion has been that the design should not be elaborate, and also that it should embody, in some form, the lantern. Numerous sketches have been submitted to the Executive Committee by mem-

bers of the Association ; five of these designs were presented to the meeting, June 2d, 1898, one of which was selected subject to a few modifications suggested by members of the Association. The further business connected with the cut- ting- of the die was referred back to the Executive ^Com- mittee, and will be carried through as quickly as possible,^ as the transfer of one paper connected with the James E. Rhoads Scholarships Fund will not be valid until the seal

' ' is affixed. , . . . . The committee, appointed in 'April, 1897, to revise the by- lav/s, and that reported at the following annual meeting provisional by-laws then adopted for one year, was re-appointed by the President early in this year, and three new mem-bers added. This committee, consisting of Madeline V. Abbott, chairmanj Helen Middleton, secretary; Annie C. Emery, Mary T. Mason and Martha G. Thomas, received suggestions from various members of the Association, and after

careful consideration presented as its report to the annual

meeting a set of by-laws revised to agree in wording with the charter, now the constitution of the Association, and introducing certain changes in the method of conducting the business of the Association. The most important of

these are, (a) the holding of one regular meeting each year,

and this meeting in February, (b) the increase of the annual

dues to $1.00, and (c) the establishment of biennial elections. The report of the committee was accepted, and the by-laws will come up at the next regular meeting of the Associa- tion for consideration.'^ The committee recommended that

' the by-laws, with the exception of the section changing the number of meetings, be permanently adopted in November, and further recommended that the Association for two years

make trial of an annual meeting in February. The recommendations were favorably considered by the meeting. At the November meeting the President announced the

following committees whose appointments were ratified at that meeting: Nominating Committee for June, 1898: Laurette Eustis Potts, chairman, Katharine M. Shipley, Susan B. Frank-

lin, Mary B. Breed, Dora Keen.

Auditing Committee for June, 189S : Mary T. Mason, chairman, Elizabeth Harris Keiser.

The Executive Committee appointed to assist in arrang- ing for the supper, June 2d, Julia Cope Collins and Ethel Parrish, and invited to the supper, as guests of the Associa-

tion President Thomas and Miss Agnes Repplier, both of whom made addresses. The James E. Rhoads Scholarships Fund having been

completed, the collections for the Alumnse Fund were renewed this year. This Fund was started in 1891 with the

thought that it should be added to each year by voluntary

subscriptions, and finally when it had become large, the

Association should use it in some way that might present

itself whereby it would be of benefit to the College. This thought has not been carried out by the Association, for in 1893 the amount then collected was given to build the. botanical greenhouse, and in the years 1894-95 the collections

to the Students' again the • , were voted Loan Fund; during year in which the James E. Rhoads Scholarships Fund was finished the collection of the Alumnae Fund was by vote

of the Association omitted, and for the time this fund

merged into the Scholarships Fund. Each year it has.

been found to be more and more difficult to. collect for a

Fund that has no definite purpose, and it seemed wise to the Executive Committee to suggest to the November meet-

ing, that if no large object presented itself before June toward which the Alumna Fund might be turned, the Asso- ciation should fix a sum of from $5,000 to $8,000, and state that the Fund should not be used for any purpose until this amount had been raised. Before the annual meeting, however, the Executive Committee conferred with the President of the College, and asked for suggestions from Alumnas

' who are in touch with the present life of the College, and

brought before the Association at that meeting suggestions

of three objects for the Fund. These are (a) the formation of a permanent fund of $5,000, to be used as a Loan Fund

(suggested by the Students' Loan Fund Committee), (b). the purchase of a collection of casts to be used by the Art

Department of the College, and (c) the building of a Stu-

dents' Hall about which the social life of the College may

• centre. No definite action was taken ' at the meeting on any one of the objects presented, but before a decision could be made the Executive Committee was empowered to appoint a committee to examine plans for a Students' Build- ing, to investigate the expense, and to confer with the Presi- dent and Trustees of the College in regard to the probability of provision being made by the College for its maintenance, should such a building be found to be possible. At the annual meeting the following resolution was presented, and directed to be placed on the minutes of the As- sociation: " Whereas, The Alumna) Association of Bryn Mawr Col- lege has learned of the death of five of its members: " Mary G. Patterson, of the class of '88, deceased, 1894; " Anna Powers, of the class of '90, deceased, 1894; " Jane Scofield, of the class of '91, deceased, 1896;

" Mary L. Taylor Mackenzie, of the class of '92, deceased, 1S96;

" Louella H. Thorne, of the class of '90, deceased, 1897; and, " Whereas, Through the death of these members the united Association has sustained a loss in scholarship and in friendship; " Resolved, That we, the Alumnie of Bryn Mawr Col- lege, record our appreciation of their activity as useful women, that we are bereaved in their loss, and that we hold them with affectionate regard in our memory.'^

Martha G. Thomas, Recording Secretary. REPORTS OF STANDING COMMITTEES^

REPORT OF THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE.

The work of the Academic Committee has been, as usual, of two

kinds. At the mid-year conference it presented the matters that the association wished to have brought before the authorities of the college, and also discussed with the President matters concerning the col-

lege policy, such as number of hours required for the degree, the time .

allowed for preparation for the senior orals, and the arrangement of- courses for freshmen. Furthermore the President gave the committee ' much important information about the growth and needs of the college.

But it is not only local questions that engage the committee's attention.- General educational problems are also discussed and' inves.ti; gated. The most important undertaking this year is the publication oi

an article or series of articles on the government of women students .

in the representative colleges and universities of the ' country. The

demand for information on this subject is increasing, and the plan .oi the committee has already met with warm approval from the editor oi the " Educational Review ". and from administrative officers in other-

colleges. The articles will appear, it is hoped, at an early date. Annie Crosby Emery, Chairman.

REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.

The Conference Committee held three • meetings during the academic year, 1897-98. A list of the lectures and addresses delivered before the college as a whole, the Graduate Club, the Philosophical Club, and the De Rebus Club will be given in the president's report. Three concerts; which were attended by a large proportion of the students and a number of outsiders, were given by the Kneisel Quar-

' tette in' the gymnasium during the year. . The college gave the money which was to be expended for the first College Reception, to the Graduate Club and the Undergraduate Asso- ciation for a lecture fund.- The second reception was held in Pem- broke.

The students have .started a fund for a library building, but it is

thought that if the Alumnse decide to devote the Alumnae Fund to the erection of a students' hall, the students would bend their energies in

that direction. . The play given by the Sophomores to the Freshmen was " As You Like It," and was presented out of doors with great success. The Freshmen gave "A Hitherto Unpubhshed Eclogue of Virgil." Several " other plays have also been given : Mrs. Hawksbee Sits Out," for the College Settlements Association; "She Stoops to Conquer," for the Library Fund, and at the Junior-Senior Supper, " My Lord in Livery," and " Pyramus and Thisbe." There are two debating clubs in college. In one, the debates are prepared, and in the other, after a pause of ten seconds for volunteers, names are drawn by lot. The subjects debated have been chiefly political, such as " The Annexation of Hawaii," " Proportional Representa- tion," " Are bosses a necessary factor in modern municipal politics ? The Glee Club numbers fifty members who have weekly meetings under the leadership of Mr. Barrington of Rosemont. The Glee and Banjo Clubs gave a concert on the loth of March. There are numerous basket-ball teams, and the regular spring games have caused more than usual excitement. The undergraduates have challenged the alumnae, and the game will take place on the afternoon of Commencement Day. On the whole there seems to be increasing interest in outdoor athletics, and also a broadening of the social life of the college. M. F. Ellis, Chairman.

REPORT OF THE STUDENTS' LOAN FUND COMMITTEE.

Since its last report, the Students' Loan Fund Committee has held two regular meetings. Loans have been made to five students, amounting to eight hundred dollars ($800), and two hundred and fifty dollars ($250) have been returned to the fund. Five applications for the year 1898-99 have been received by the committee, and three of these have been granted; the amount promised being three hundred and fifty dollars ($350). Since March, 1893, when the fund was transferred by the Trustees to the Alumnae Association, thirty-two hundred and fifty-two dollars and fifty cents ($3,252.55) have been received. Eleven students have been given financial help through a four years' course or for less time, to the amount of three thousand and seventy-five dollars ($3,075), and two of these have paid back four hundred and fifty dollars ($450) to the Fund. The committee desires to acknowledge the donation of one hundred and fifty-four dollars ($154) made by the class of 1897. and through one of its members, of one hundred dollars ($100) additional. It would also acknowledge all contributions received during the past year from interested friends. 10

The committee still feels the great need for a larger fund. Two thousand dollars ($2,000) in 'addition to the amount already in circula- tion, would make a more efficient fund, with which to work, and

would meet all demands made upon it for some years to come. The committee would therefore suggest to the association that the Students' Loan Fund be considered among the objects for which collections are to be made. On behalf of the committee, Julia Cope Collins, Chairman. June 2d, 1898.-
