The man who does not advertise may know what he is doing but nobody else does. Nowadays we hear a great deal of talk about spiritualism and mediums which, as we understand it, communicate with people from an outside world. May “The Mitre” be your medium?

24 ‘Personality! What is it? Is it found in ‘Printing?
W HY do printers’ estimates, on the same specifications, differ? The answer is that they do not. Let us explain. No specification you or anyone else ever made was complete. All the estimates you ever received on a printing proposition differed on the thing that you did not specify — Quality. Each printer quotes on his quality. Now listen! There are only two things you can specify with exactness on a printing order — paper and size. Everything else is style. Style consists of design, taste, and work manship. The king’s bones and muscles contain the same elements as the pauper’s; the only differ ence is personality. — Graphic Arts Bulletin.

Editorial
Editorials should be brief. Likewise they should not be a mere repetition of what can be read elsewhere in the magazine. The Editorial Staff beg to state that they can comply with the first rule but must leave the second in abeyance.
We have had on the whole a most successful season. The hockey team has dis tinguished itself; and the basketball team with a loss of only one game has brought great credit to the institution.
The Dramatic, after many months of preparation and heart-searching, saw fit to produce a play. On the whole the general consensus of opinion is that the acting was good, and there are some who maintain that had the play been better, even the acting would have been more convincing. Surely there are better plays to be procured, and if not, is there any reason why one should not be written locally for the event? In this way a larger cast could be provided for, and this would surely increase the interest in one of our most interesting societies.
The reader’s attention is drawn to an article on the Co-ed attempt to gain their independence. Though no bell was tolled, nor was any declaration of independence drawn up, they did fight nobly, and will probably never know whether the battle was lost or won. One can be fairly sure of one thing, namely, that if they do expect financial aid from the Students’ Council in this year of grace 1928, they have applied at the wrong time. Even “The Mitre” has felt the pinch and must humble itself. Alas! How pitiably emaciated the poor thing is!
While we are on the subject of “The Mitre” , the Editorial Staff wish to announce that many contributions had to be refused because of their length. It is much to be re gretted that contributions of genuine worth have to be laid aside for reasons of this kind. If it is not too much to ask, we would urge that an increase in the number of subscribers would help us to weather a very trying period.

\ AN EPIC
Above the buildings rears a square old tower. And here appears each evening at the hour When spirits walk, a bent and frail old man. Eternally, his bright eyes twinkle, scan The ever-shifting scene below and all Is marked by him and noted. Wise old sprite He seldom tells the doings of the night.
One morning I was wakened, torn from bed. “Sit down”, and write” was all the old man said. I sat in fear and trembling and I wrote While he stood by and mumbled, seemed to gloat At some rich mem’ry, * * * * Here now, here’s the tale With much deleted, lest it stop our sale. And bring on libel action in the courts. And many hapless jibes and sad retorts.
* * * * I look down from my tower. Behold the Shed! A wond’rous motley crew. Three deacons too, And down below a mann with heavy head Repeating o’er his lines. Alas no stew Can cross his eager lips for Lent is here His only solace now is fish and beer. Ahoyt! A voice calls and the massive walls Resound. Old Tom awakens, sleeps again. No answer echoes through the dingy halls For Bliss keeps ward and checks these mighty men From making noises. Higher up the Sages Turn the many closely printed pages. Or thumb a Kalendar of no mean weight To estimate if Easter may be late, Or if St. Agnes day falls late in June Or rests its date upon the waning moon. A lf never speaks for music is his theme And soft sweet melodies compose his dream.
A motley crew, indeed, and doomed to what? A life of horrors which may never cease! A life of sermons, quiet days, and peace, T he M itre
A wife, a congregation, and a plot And on the tombstone requiescat writ. (The old man sobbed). I weep to think of it. And here the oldster paused to wipe his eyes And glanced at me. Imagine my surprise! For every trace of tears had vanished quite And sounds of happy chuckles filled the night.
I see the Lodge! A strange assortment there! Divinity and Arts and both agree To let the matter stand. But stop and see! Old Strong Arm holds the fort and calls beware! Beside him dwells his shadow, strange wee thing. He is on hand whenever one wants string Or screws or nails depending on the need. — A most obliging soul he is indeed! Beside him dwells a bird who types all day Across from him a mystic in his way Who smiles and smiles, and little else they say. Upstairs Old Father Williams holds his court, And many a yell rings out and angry snort When he is wanted. And there is no peace! He’s staid enough! (When will these ‘yellers’ cease?) Across from him the ‘genial host’ is seen, He entertains, and ever says ‘I mean’ Yet wonders what he means the whole day long. And seeks the answer in a burst of song. Beside him dwells the Granny of the floor Who purls a couple, drops a couple more. She is, I’ve heard, a real go-getter-goat And knits a good substantial sweater coat. And when one mentions rows, a row or tiff Would never be complete without our cliff. Our dear good friend the Burning Bush and he Once, and just once, were known to disagree! Of others on the flat I say few words— Truly in life one finds the strangest birds And these, if thought was father to a wish. Would be amongst the fishes, stranger fish.
* * * *
The Old Arts are a miscellaneous crowd One half is very quiet, the other loud. A disunited mob they are at best (Consult the Latin on the College Crest). The whole man seldom speaks. Some want some fun
28 T he M itre
And spend long weeks before it’s really done And every game is played beneath the sun. Bridge was all right, but now it seldom goes As most prefer a game of dominoes. Poor Parky seems to sing the livelong day He’s not a bad Caruso in his way. In quartet form his voice would be less rough, And he’d be finely mated with friend Brough, Who’s twice admitted that he’s had enough. Two‘coopers and a baker ply their trade, The one contains the other’s fragrant ware. And Dawson raves about the money made And lays his wagers with the utmost care, And growls because he’s very seldom paid. O’ pierce, the Gloom, light up our darksome day, And having done so quietly pass away. The rising sun makes rosy hues to shine Within the darkling depths of yonder stein Portending summer for the nearby ville And gives us summer fruits to deck our meal.
Wood has a use, the home depends on Wood, The Japanese find paper just as good, But not substantial when it comes to rows, And hardly strong enough to house their cows. O when, O when will music cease to please These sad disturbers of the college peace? They roll umbrella-stands from place to place And run up fees until they’re a disgrace. The only way to check their sportive noise Is make the things of iron and fool the boys.
With this the old man eased his chair, and edged A trifle nearer, coughed, and forthwith said: “My son we all grow older’’. Here I hedged— I had respect for one whose aged head Was thus bowed low. “You have no age,” said I. And then the poor old man began to cry His woes to me, and well I understood How much he’d suffered, and I said I would Write down this tale that all who read might swell With indignation at the purpose fell. Which robbed him of his right. The old man raged “ I am still young, they tell me I have aged T he M itre
They take my force from me, and one contends That I am not among his many friends. He says he can read all, and plainly see What lies behind the veil, — futurity. I tell you boy, his powers are very small As yet he can’t walk through a three-foot wall. He says he sees inside the best of men I seek the best and seeing it, rejoice. His psychologic bent! . . . These moderns! . . when 0 when shall we be given strength to voice Our disapproval of this type of fun, Which laughs at everything before it’s done? My job! I laugh! And here and now resign. Let him take up my sceptre, let his sign “ The Flashing E y e be on you all! Beware!” And in a trice the old man left his chair. Oozed through a door as if it had been air. I looked. Another sat beside me there.
Here was no spirit; but a strident voice! And what I write, I write not now from choice!
I see a goodly crowd of humble souls Who doubtless shall inherit those live coals The prophets speak of, if they try to grow Those neat moustaches — five hairs in a row. I know th’ Exalted Four, I know them well. Strange beings they, and how they swell And pout about the place! But now I’ll muse Upon a thousand things and state my views.

I heard a song the other day. My word! It was the worst that I have ever heard. It’s sung by one well-voiced (to please a cow) “Goo goo’ he sings and then, "Gowgoose, ge gow.” To argue, now, the thing is very clear The man has music but he has no ear. Why ASK? Why do you smile? What is the joke? They tell me Teddy tries to get your goat The one that wanders on the fair brown lee Where blue-jays dine on worms quite happily And think they’re caviar. The ancients say

And here I woke. But ’t was no idle dream For on my table written fair and clear Was all that I have set down boldly here. Misjudge me not. I have no subtle scheme. But if the screed is dull, this much is clear There’s more apparent than is written here.
I stand and watch the tyrant of the night, The wild West-Wind in breathless, headlong flight. He catches up the frosty snow like dust And drives it on along the frozen crust. Till all the air is filled with flakes of snow Which in the silent silv’ry moon light glow— Ten thousand tiny bits of radiance bright, All blended in one shining maze of light. Above this tumult and this strife down here The Moon, so silent, brooding, and austere, Beholds this Wind, his frantic wrath expend. And those demented trees whose dark trunks bend, Submissive to the lash of snow and wind, Like slaves still strong, but bound and blind. The Moon tonight is like a lovely maid. So chaste, so pure, indifferent and staid. We may not love, but surely must revere, And though she stays afar off, still is dear. She holds aloof from all this windy war — Tranquil and bright, she rests on heaven’s floor. While yet I look, the Wind, tired out at last, Abates once more the fury of his blast. I turn me home again, glad I can hear The story Nature pours into my ear. By W . G. B.

ANNIE IN WONDERLAND
Little Annie was puzzled. It seemed to be some sort of a tea-party that was going on, but she wasn’t sure. For one thing there was no tea, only a bottle of wine — and no one had drunk wine at any tea-party to which she had ever been taken. But then everything lately had been very strange, so perhaps it wasn’t to be thought odd under the circumstances. There were only two people at the table, both rather queer looking young men, and one was reading an enormous book. “I beg your pardon — ” began Annie, timidly. “ Nonsense!” remarked the young man who wasn’t reading. Annie thought this a little rude, but since it appeared to be his party, she sup posed he could say what he pleased. “Nonsense, I say!” repeated the young man with considerable energy, “Stop begging and sit down. Port or sherry?” “Port, if you don’t mind,” accepted Annie politely. “We do mind, because there isn’t any” said the young man. “Then I’ll have sherry” replied Annie. “Nonsense, I say!” retorted the young man, “ It’s all gone.” He then proceeded to help himself to half a dozen cheese straws, which seemed to be the only food on the table. Suddenly his companion with the big book looked up. Annie noticed that he seemed to be the older of the two, but he looked very thin, and Annie was sure he didn’t eat enough. His nose looked abnormally red. "It’s in Greek!” he announced. “What is?” inquired Annie with interest. “The Codex Sinaiticus Petropolitanus” he replied, and went on reading the book, which Annie was sure he was holding upside down. “Don’t mind him” advised the other young man, “ He’s studying Divinity!” “ I shan’t”, thought Annie to herself. “Et cum spiritu tuo” remarked the theologian, without looking up. Certainly these were most peculiar people, Annie decided, and this was quite the funniest party she had ever been at. In fact she was sure she hadn’t had so much fun since Grandma died. “What is your name, child?” suddenly demanded the young man. This was very like the Catechism, remembered Annie. She hoped he would ask her the part about Pomps and Vanities. “Annie” , she replied. “Annie what?" “Just Annie!” “Omitted by the Western T ext!” interjected the theologian, who appeared to have been paying not the least attention to the conversation. “Well, I don’t suppose it’s your fault”, agreed her inquisitor. “Did you vote?” “Vote when?” asked Annie.

“ In the elections, of course. That’s how he and I got the cheese straws — didn’t we, Origen?” (Annie made mental note of his name.) “De gustibus non est disputandum! ” responded that gentleman, still reading the book upside down. “ He always talks Greek on Thursdays” explained the other, “And what’s more, he’s High Church!” “Really,” said little Annie, “How high?" The church she went to was not more than forty or fifty feet high. It sounded interesting. “Well, he practised celibacy in the open street for thirteen years and then married a widow from Lisbon and had twins in Lent!” “ How dreadful!” said Annie, genuinely shocked. “Quite so!” agreed the young man, “He divorced her for it!” “O h!” said Annie. She wanted to ask more about the twins, what their names were and whether they were boys or girls or both, but she was afraid it might be con sidered indelicate. “Can I have another cheese straw?” she said instead. “You should say ’may’ but I suppose you can,” agreed her host. Annie took one. They were very stale. “And what is your name, please?” she asked. “Nonsense, it isn’t ‘Please’, its ‘Maldemer’, he answered, “You can call me 'Maldy’ ”. “What an odd name!” said Annie — “Is it a family one?” “ Nonsense!” said Maldy, “My father was a sailor from Marseilles.” Annie grew interested. “And what was your mother?” she asked. “His wife” said Maldy, with a tone of finality. “Damn Tischendorf!” muttered Origen under his breath. “I wish you’d shut up” said Maldy. “Whom do you mean, please?” asked Annie, humbly. “ Both of you” said Maldy, “ I want to think.” “Credo quia impossibile est!” declared Origen in a tone of amazement. Annie had an inspiration. She remembered something. “Laus tibi!” she said encouragingly, using her very best pronunciation and hoping the remark was appropriate. “Don’t be vulgar!” objected Maldy, frowning at her. “She’s quite right” defended Origen, suddenly joining the discussion, “It’s a various reading!” Maldy helped himself to the last of the cheese straws. "Do you believe in large families?” he inquired, turning to Annie. Annie was somewhat disconcerted at this. “ I really don’t know” she answered “ I never had one.” “Quite right, quite right!” approved Maldy, “Don’t !” “Do you drink much?” demanded Origen, looking up from his book. “Only in moderation” said Little Annie cautiously, “ I’m Church of England, you see.” “ I didn’t see,” said Origen, “ But now you’ve told me, I suppose it can t be helped. But it’s a great pity. I often drink.”
33 T he M itre
“ In discretion, I hope” said Annie. “ In any place I happen to b e!” affirmed Origen, with some vehemence. On the whole, considering his nose, Annie was disposed to believe him. “The party’s adjourned!” suddenly announced Maldy, rising to his feet “I’ve got a pain” he added. “Where?” asked Little Annie, wishing to appear sympathetic. “Never mind” replied Maldy significently. “Verb. Sap .!” commented Origen, stretching himself and yawning profoundly. T.A.J.
Two opinions which were advanced during a recent debate on Co-Education have led me to believe that the discovery of what is the right way in which a wife should greet her jaded husband on his return from work would prove to be an entertaining diver sion. Should the wife be ready to discuss with him the Economic problems of the day? Should she endeavour to charm his susceptibilities by playing to him, let us say, “The Kreutzer Sonata” ? Should she be discovered cased within an arm-chair reading a novel or listening to the Radio? Should she ask the returned wanderer to make the tea when the kettle boils? Should she fling her arms around his neck and tell him all the saddest happenings of the day’s domestic round? Should she ask him to assist in washing the baby? Should he be sarcastically questioned as to what had been the cause of his delay if he were late, or as to what he meant by coming home early, if he was in before his time? I venture to suggest Mr. Editor that a most emphatic answer may be given— NO, and in the Interests of this Country, economically, socially and spiritually there is only one thing to be done on the husband’s return and that is to Feed The Brute.
THE MATHS AND SCIENCE CLUB
Owing to the pressure of other activities, it was found impossible to hold any meetings during the early part of the term. On March the sixth Mr. Watson gave a paper on “The Life of Pasteur.” Much interest is being shown in the activities of the Club, and there is every indication that it will have a successful year. L.

There was very little light in the room. Agnes had brought in four candles and placed them on the mantel. They flickered on her pale face. She was very white. Her mouth gleamed — like a gash in a cherry pie, Rex thought. He was rather an amateur of modernistic art. Lorenzo shuddered. His was a sensitive soul, and the candles gave an unearthly tinge to the olive complexion of Dora. Lorenzo was very fond of Dora, and gave her orchids each Christmas. Dora disliked Lorenzo and also the orchids, but she suffered in silence. Lorenzo played an excellent game of bridge, and his taste in ties was irreproachable. Rex dealt the cards. His hands made Dora think of bananas. Perhaps because the cards slipped out of them so easily. Dora did not know. Bridge, as played by Agnes was a most orthodox game. One had certain rules from which one never deviated. A finesse was to her a solemn rite. The tone in which she said, “Double four spades,” gave one an awful feeling of one’s own insignificance, and one always felt that an apology was due if one made the bid. Rex bid a heart. His voice was like dark velvet. Lorenzo was gazing at Dora. He roused himself from his reverie with a sta y . He swooped down on his cards. Sorted them in a hectic manner. “Two diamonds.” Diamonds. Beautiful, thought Rex. But not as beautiful as Agnes’ finger-nails like pink pearls. Then he checked himself. Not that. Anything but that. Even after careful training in the new schools of art, he sometimes drifted into a distressingly commonplace thought like that. Diamonds. Glorified coal-dust. Rex had the bid — for three hearts. Three hearts that beat as one, thought Dora, remembering. Ridiculous. How could they? The old school of poets wrote such unutterable piffle. Somewhere a clock struck ten. The flame flickered on the four dark heads bent over the cards. Heads like lacquered metal gleaming satin smooth. The atmosphere grew tense. The cards were evenly divided. Agnes’ long sinuous fingers touched the exposed hand caressingly. Next to herself, she liked best to watch Rex play. Rex was wonderful. He had large square teeth and mismated eye-brows. Agnes began to dream. To build castles in Spain. She was a romanticist by nature; a realist by conversion. Rex hated sentimentalism. Chateaux en Espagne...... Suddenly a loud scream tore the silence, like the rending of yards and yards of orange taffeta. Life stopped for a moment. Then Dora laughed hideously. The other three could not speak. Dora! If it had been Rex, or even Lorenzo — but Dora! She was not temperamental. Dora spoke. Her voice was like grated cheese. “Lorenzo trumped my ace. That was a ll ......

Soloman and Giraffe ______
The following is a translation of part of an Arabic palimpsest found in the genizah of a synagogue at Tel-el-Dibs, the Selenopolis of antiquity. The Arabic appears to be of the eighth century; over it has been Written a collection of pious stories of Haggardic character. Ed. This is a tale of Suleiman bin Daoud, and of Balkis the Beautiful, the Spouse and the Beloved of Suleiman. Suleiman the Wise sat upon the ivory throne of his magnificence in the city of David his father and discoursed of his wisdom to Balkis the Beloved, for he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all nations round about. And he spake three thousand proverbs and his songs were a thousand and five. And he spake of trees from the cedar that is in Lebanon, even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall, he spake also of beasts and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes. Now as Suleiman spoke of his wisdom to Balkis, the daughter of the Moon, there sat behind the throne a peacock and an ape played before them. Now the ape (being of them who have neither wisdom nor reverence) came behind and plucked out a feather from the excellent tail of the peacock, who screamed in his anger. And Suleiman turned to the bird and said, “ He on whom the Giver of Gifts has bestowed an excellent plumage and a supereminent tail, and therewith an uncomely voice, should be content to be seen and not heard, for the sight of the peacock rejoices the wise, but the hearing of his voice is as the entering in of fools.” And to the ape he said, “The ape has received the countenance of the wise, but his conduct is the following of folly.” And to Balkis he said, “O sister of the lily and spouse of my heart, these creatures make more noise than my wives, my other wives” . But Balkis the Adored, the Queen, laughed softly in the face of Suleiman the Mighty, and she said, “O my Lord, has not my Lord heard of Giraf, the loftiest of beasts whose body is like a horse and his legs like trees and his neck like the great spotted snake, and yet, though he is so high, he has no voice for the Maker of Tongues has put no speech in his throat? And now, O Suleiman, get you Giraf, for the adornment of your splendour and the peace of your afternoons.” Hereupon was Suleiman troubled, for though he spoke of beasts, yet he did not know Giraf the Eminent; therefore he said to an Efreet of the Djinn who stood invisibly by, “ Is it as she says?” “It is as she says,” answered the Efreet. “Can you bring me Giraf hither?” said Suleiman. Said the Efreet, I will bring him thee ere thou risest from thy place. I have power for this and am trusty.” So he brought him and set him before Suleiman and behind Balkis, and Suleiman said to Balkis, “ Lo, here is Giraf, for the adornment of loveliness and the example of silence.” Now Balkis the Sagacious made no answer, but went to Giraf who put down his
36 T he M itre head, and she patted his nose and spake to him softly. But the ape was angry and said, “His brow is low and he obviously lacks intelligence, moreover his horns are I ridiculous.” And the peacock spread out in his pride the splendour of his feathers and he said, “ His tail is insignificant.” l But Giraf answered no word, only he lifted up his head and looked at the Ape and the peacock with eyes of understanding. And Solomon whose words are wisdom, laughed in his beard and said: “One keepeth silence and is accounted wise, and another l is despised for his much talking. One keepeth silence, having naught to say: and another keepeth silence for he seeth that it is a time for silence.” And when he had so spoken, no one answered, and Suleiman the speaker of proverbs l went to sleep on his ivory throne in the city of David his father and the words of his wisdom were stilled. But Balkis the Sagacious looked at Giraf the Silent and he looked at her with the eyes of understanding. l l
l L Exhibition by J. B. Harvey. On the evening of March 1 Oth, the Chess Club had the honour of entertaining L Mr. J. B. Harvey, of Montreal, who visited the college under the sponsorship of Hamb- ley White, to give a chess exhibition. The visitor was introduced by Rev. H. C. Burt, President of the Chess Club, and after a few words in reply, in which he explained L the procedure of the evening, Mr. Harvey started to play twenty games simultaneously. In spite of some strenuous opposition from Drs. DuBerger, Barette, and Beaudry and the Rev. H. C. Burt, the Rev. F. G. Vial and Professor Richardson, Mr. Harvey l succeeded in winning every game after four hours of steady play. The Harvey-DuBerger board was undoubtedly the most interesting, and the most strongly contested of the evening, and Dr. Barette almost forced a draw but he made a slip at the last which gave Harvey the game. Carl Gagnon gave the visitor a tussle at times, and on more than one occasion was out to checkmate. He was quite the surprise of the evening as his steadi- ness and control were quite unusual in comparison to his ordinary style which is inclined to be erratic. The evening was a greater success than had been anticipated. The number of students that turned out was larger than had been expected and to Mr. Reid, editor of the Forum, is due a great many thanks for arousing interest in Sherbrooke and in per- suading so many good players to join in the event. The efforts of Rev. J. R. Burrows, as Secretary of the Club, must be grate fully acknowledged for his efforts in making the evening a success. | T he M itre
The rabbits were holding a council of war To decide on some problems of state From far and from near, they came hurrying, clear Things had gone badly of late.
When all had forgathered and sat themselves down A gentleman rabbit arose And began the debate for the good of the state By cautiously scratching his nose.
The question, he said, was a grave one indeed And Friday was fast on the way Now how could good rabbits abstain from ail flesh When all that they had was their hay?
Authorities stated, a tall rabbit spoke In a listless and most mournful way That abstention was urged, though it didn’t imply That the tribe had to give up its hay.
But abstention means fish, an objector replied It follows we can’t fast this Lent So what does it matter if the great forty days Are fairly and decently spent?
But now a thin rabbit came forward, declared That the church in its wisdom decreed, That good rabbits who followed the Prayer Book’s Would be very good rabbits indeed.
By the time that this speech was concluded, Ah me! The fighting and din was intense, And many there were who stood fast to the point And many sat fast on the fence.
When night came the rabbits a sorrowful lot With their scars all too plain to be seen Had started six wars and a gun-powder plot Before they had quitted the scene. Dies Irae.

(Suggested for; hearing a paper on “Circle-squarers" at the Maths, and Science Club.),
For twenty centuries the craze That’s known as circle-squaring Has made us seek in devious ways A guest that’s too despairing. That wicked number known as “pi” Has driven men demented. Why couldn’t they just pass it by And live and die contented? Inscribing polygons galore A most laborious deed is, With sides divided more and more (As tried by Archimedes) They tried like this for centuries, They carved up circles vainly, Fruitless the pious venture is As they perceived quite plainly. Then, furthermore our brains to vex, A very learned toiler Wrote strings and strings of terms in X (He bore the name of Euler) With all the older ways taboo They put analysis to it— Only in 1882 They found they couldn’t do it. Alas, this too, too solid “pi” , I fear, beyond all question In all its grim complexity Gives mental indigestion. The usual kind is bad enough, Less vexing, too, the price is. One only has to go and stuff Three (and one-seventh) slices!

H O CKEY
The Hockey season, like the Rugby season, saw Bishop’s with a team in every way superior to that of last year. In the Sherbrooke-Stanstead League the team, after getting away to a bad start, almost climbed into a tie with the winning Canadiens. They were beaten out by that team in a very even game. The Intermediate Intercollegiate re sult was a little better from Bishop’s point of view. The team having had no ice on which to practice, was at a disadvantage, and lost the first game to Loyola. Nevertheless for the rest of the season they did very well, getting into the finals with Loyola, and just losing out by one point; the score in the final game being four to three. It is difficult to allot the credit for this year’s showing to any particular member of the team so we shall deal with each member separately.
Russell "Joe" Blinco — Centre. A newcomer to the team and one of the main reasons why goal-keepers get grey headed. He is a splendid stick-handler and has a terrific shot.
Fred Cann — Right Wing. The Freshman from Lennoxville. He is an untiring skater and a consistant back- checker. On the attack he fits in well with the combination and he has a hard shot.
Jack Johnston — Left Wing. Next year’s Captain. He skates like a streak and has a hard shot. Jack, Joe, and Fred played some of the prettiest combinations we have ever seen and will make an unusual forward line next year.
Everett Denison — Defence. “Denny” is also in his Freshman year, and with the experience gained this season, should be an outstanding defenceman next year. He makes great use of his body, and is good on offensive work.
Jack Dinan — Defence. This is the long fellow’s last year at Bishop’s, and the team will miss him. He is a good stick-handler, can give a stiff body-check, and packs a wicked shot.
Irwin Klein — Goal. This year’s Captain. He too is a third year man, and we are going to miss him. Irwin was easily the best goaler on local ice this season. His saves are miraculous, and he never loses his head. His great goaling pulled us out of several bad holes this year, and this hockey season was a fitting climax to a great athletic career at Bishop s. THE HOCKEY TEAM
Vaughan Williams M ontague Asst. .Vlgr. Manager Coach Holman Stewart Rattray Puddington Whitcombe Robertson Klein, Capt. Blinco Dinan Cann Johnston Denison 42 T he M itre
Bob Holman. Bob subbed at centre this year, and is a greatly improved player. He is a good back-checker, and a fast skater.
Harvey Whitcombe. This is Harvey’s first year in hockey for Bishop’s, and he made his debut with a bang. He is a very polished stick-handler, checks hard, and has a good shot.
Bobby Robertson. This is Bobbie’s last year, and we are going to miss the little sorrel-top. He is a great player to hold down his cover, and there is nothing he likes better than a bumpety-bump game.
Jack Puddington. Another Freshman who subbed on the forward line. He is speedy, a neat stick- handler, and good shot.
Walter Stewart. He started out at defence, but a recurrence of an ankle injury received in football kept him out for the balance of the season. W alt, is a good steady player who stick- handles well, and hands out bumps freely.
Don. Rattray. Don was sub goal tender but did not have much chance to play this year. He will be a good man in the nets next year.
E. X. Montague — Coach. Monty was back again for the hockey and coached the team well. We all hope we will have him with us again next year.

BASKETBALL
While no championship was forthcoming this year, in basket ball, nevertheless, the team acquitted itself quite favorably in every game played. Encumbered by un favourable conditions, unknown except to members of the team themselves, came through the season with five wins in seven games played. Entering the Sherbrooke City League, Bishop’s was nosed out from first place by the Y ’s Men who defeated the College in a very closely contested game, by six points. The final standing of the League was as follows Y ’s Men - Won 5 Lost 1 Bishop’s - Won 4 Lost 2 Maple Leafs Won 2 Lost 4 Omega-Alpha Won 1 Lost 5 Omega-Alpha defaulted one game to Y ’s Men. Our team was not one of individual stars but worked together as a unit. It was the only team in the league which displayed a well-developed system and it was this system alone that carried Bishop’s to the position it attained in the league. THE TEAM McMorran, S.D. — (Left Guard) Hail “Crafty”. Captain coach, and mainstay of the whole team. A born defenceman of no mean proportions and a constant menace to the opposing forward line. If credit for our success must go to one man, he is undoubt edly the inimitable “Crafty”. Fortunately he has one more year with us. We may expect even greater things from the ‘big boy’ next season. Bouchard, R.D. — Right guard. A worthy running mate for McMorran. What he lacks in size he makes up in agility. A real bear for rebounds and good basket getter. We expect to see Rod in ye olde purple and whyte again next year. Read, S. E. — Left Forward. Stan’ is the Faculty representative on the team. A clever, unselfish, steady player. We are led to believe that Stan, is unable to be with us after this year. He will be missed by the team. With him go our best wishes in the furtherance of his education. Wade, K. E. L. — Right Forward. In our need of reinforcements on the forward line Karl was taken from his regular defence position and filled his new place very well. His tireless efforts were rewarded by his being the highest scorer on the team. He also leaves us this year for parts unknown, and it will take a real man to fill his place. Kenney, A. S. — Centre. Another final year man. With the departure of Bung we lose the Adonis of the team. A good jumper and worthy of his place at the key position. While his scoring was not the highest on the team his unselfish passing made possible many baskets by other members of our five. Our sub line composed of Caulfeild, Mackey, Robertson, Green, and T he Mitre
Watson, made up a team which would have made a creditable showing in the league, Although they were used very little throughout the season they proved their worth in our last schedule game when, playing as a team for over half of the actual playing time, they ran up a score sufficient to win without the assistance of the regulars. In discussing basketball we can not, with any degree of fairness, leave out our many loyal supporters. All attendance records of previous standing were broken this year. Our team was backed to the limit and they appreciated it. We also thank those who assisted us by turning out to numerous practices. Basketball, while considered the least of the three major sports of the Uni versity, is on the rise. We are hampered by a small gymnasium without suitable accom modation for spectators. We have no professional coach. There are many things of which we are in need but these will come in time. In the meantime, we shall do our best.

On Monday, February 27th, the “A ” Certificate candidates assembled for their practical examination. The exams were conducted by Capt. Nicholls and Lieut. Poirier, both of whom appeared to be well pleased with the work of the candidates. It reflects great credit on the Corps that every man present was successful. Those who are to be congratulated on their achievement are: Sgt. Parkinson, Corporals Baker, Campbell, Church, Watson and White, Lance-Corporal Somerville, and Gentlemen Cadets Den ison, Macmorine, McHarg, and Rocksborough-Smith. One candidate passed in the“B” certificate practical examination. On the same evening followed a parade of a vastly different nature, at least one would gather that impression from the spirit in which the Corps members turned out; it was entirely different to that spirit usually exhibited on Monday afternoons. The parade in question was the (Second) Annual Skiing and Skating Party. Little more need be said than to compliment the committee (the Adjutant was not a member) on the excellent music and refreshments which were enjoyed later in the evening. The final examinations for "A ” and “ B” certificates were held in Convocation Hall on March 13th and 14th. In addition to the above candidates Lieuts. Wallace and Brownlee rewrote papers in General Tactics for the “B” certificate. After last years occurrence we are not prepared to speculate on the possible results of all these written papers; we may only hope for the best. Routine work is progressing rather better than usual. This does not necess arily mean a great deal, but there does not appear to be any reason why we should not make a very creditable performance at the not far distant General Inspection. E. E.

Dinner in Honour of D. A. Barlow
The dinner in honour of Mr. Douglas A. Barlow, the Rhodes Scholar elect for the Province of Quebec, took place in the Dining Hall on the evening of February 2nd. Among those present at the High table, in addition to the guest of honour were F. E. Meredith, K.C., Chancellor of the University; the Lord Bishop of Quebec; E. W . Beatty, K.C., President of the Canadian Pacific Railway; G. S. Stairs, K.C., and I. M. MacDonnell, both former Rhodes Scholars and now members of the Selection Committee, the Ven. Archdeacon Wright, J. Bothwell, Esq., General Manager of the Brompton Pulp and Paper Co., Dr. Banfill and Mr. F. C. Barlow of East Angus, and the Principal, who acted as toastmaster. After all present had done full justice to the excellent menu provided, and the toast to the King had been drunk, the health of “Our Guest” was proposed by Prof. A. V. Richardson. Mr. Barlow responded in a very happy little speech, laying stress on the many pleasant memories of his years at Bishop’s. The toast of “The University” was proposed by Mr. G. S. Stairs, of the Rhodes Scholarship Selection Committee. The Chancellor, in reply, addressed his remarks primarily to the students present, his remarks showing clearly, as always, how keenly and earnestly he has the welfare and interests of the University at heart. The Bishop of Quebec, in proposing the toast to “The Rhodes Foundation” gave an outline of the ideals which had actuated the great empire-builder in drawing up the terms of his magnifice nt bequest. In replying to this toast, Mr. E. W. Beatty was in his happiest vein, and in a speech replete with humour, with which the serious side was deftly mingled, gave much sound advice to those on the threshold of life. Thus con cluded one of the most enjoyable functions of the year. Bishop’s has a fine tradition of Rhodes Scholars — A. A. Sturley (since de ceased) became, on returning to Canada, a member of the Faculty at King’s College, Windsor, N.S., and his premature death, cutting off a career of great promise, was de plored by all who had known him; Elton Scott, after reading History at Oxford, took Holy Orders, and after considerable experience in a “slum parish” of London, returned to Montreal as curate of St. John the Evangelists’, and is now Rector of St. Columba’s, Notre Dame de Grace; his brother, Frank Scott, distinguished himself in post-graduate law work at McGill, and is now practising in Montreal. Since graduating in 1926, Douglas Barlow has been assistant to Dr. Henroteau, in the Astrophysics Department of the Dominion Observatory at Ottawa — the best wishes of all his friends go out to him for success in his life and work at Oxford, where, it may be predicted with confidence, he will worthily maintain the tradition of those who have preceded him.
47 POWER — in HARNESS
URGING tides and wilderness waterfalls obey your whims. Your S finger, pressing the electric switches with which your home is equipped, releases for your service and convenience powers undreamed of by earlier generations. Four and a half million horse-power hydro-electric energy, approximately, has been developed at present to build Canadian industries, light Canadian cities and homes, transmit sound over telephone and tele graph lines, and operate street railways. Seven times as much more is awaiting development . . . waiting to serve the greater Canada of tomorrow. To day everyone accepts electric light, heat, power and the telephone as commonplaces— prosaic things rather than the products of romance. Yet, at its source, the power you use is sufficient to destroy cities. It is useless as an active national asset and everyday convenience but for the fact that it can be transmitted in commercial quantities for safe use in homes and factories. Cables, wires and equipment are needed to carry the electric power in sufficient quantities to fill the needs of city and country, and to divide and subdivide that volume until you may use it simply and with safety by merely pressing a switch. W e are proud of the skill of our craftsmen who work year after year in Northern Electric plants to create, and constantly improve, so much of the material necessary to harness those tremendous waterpowers and to carry electric current safely to you for your comfort and benefit.

JUNIOR PROM
On the night of February ninth, Convocation Hall presented a very festive appearance. It was the occasion of the annual formal dance, the “big event” of the College year. A brilliant decorative scheme was carried out in orange and blue. A low hanging ceiling had been constructed in a latticed design and gay streamers covered the walls. At the end of the hall a clever effect was acheived by an archway between the orchestra platform and the dancing floor. The guests were received by the Principal the Rev. A. H. McGreer and Mrs. McGreer. Several other members of the Faculty were present as well as many out of town guests. Music was provided by a Montreal orchestra, and this being unusually good contributed greatly to the success of the dance. Several of the Students’ rooms had been converted into “sitting-out” places which as usual proved very popular. This year’s supper was served in the dining hall in the Old Arts Building, and during the evening delicious punch was provided. The programme included a “Moonlight waltz” during which colored lighting effects were very cleverly handled. The “Thirteenth” dance brought the programme to an end and everyone agreed that the Junior Prom was a decided success. Much credit is due to the Committee on whom the burden of the work fell.
The Producer goes over the Play Now, ladies and gentlemen, the curtain rises. The orchestra will play some thing very — mysterioso, as it were. The villian. Serge Pajamsky, comes at an easy canter. He kicks over the table, two chairs and a muffin-stand, gnashes teeth, and gurgles “Vodka” ! (This creates the Russian atmosphere).- A bundle of rags in the corner of the room trembles, shudders, and wiggles upright. It is seen to be a beautiful girl with an inferiority complex and a dirty face. (This is Iva Nimpultz, the heroine). She looks at the villian and shivers twice. “Y ou!” she whammers, glithering across the room. “Yeaski — smee!” roars Serge. (Russian for “Yes, it is I.”) Iva recoils in terror, so the villian twists her ear. “Get me vodka, p.d. qvitch!” he urges insinuatingly, punching her nose. “Never!” she twitters defiantly. (This shows the heroine’s uncon querable spirits.) “W hat!” he thunders, “ You dare to defy me?” Seizes her by the throat and they struggle. (Orchestra plays “Me and My Girl Friend” ). The heroine now gurgles twice while Pajamsky grins fiendishly. “Tellsky, where’s the vodka?” he growls. Being unable to breathe, the heroine refuses to answer. We are now approach ing the climax. Her soul is about to fold itself like an Arab and silently steal away. (The music must now be something soft and haunting, something like “Shall We Gather
49 50 T he M itre
At The River” ). A knock is heard at the door. A few minutes later it is repeated. (Music, “ It Won’t Be Long Now” ). The door slowly opens, and Count Epp Some- novitch rushes in. He gazes wildly around and after a while perceives the heroine and the would-be murderer. “You nasty thing!” he yelps breathlessly, “ Desist, immediately!” (Stamps his foot angrily). “Who brung you in?” stutters the villain, highly annoyed, “Don’t you know that two’s comp— ” Here he sneezes, breaks a blood-vessel and gradually expires. “ My herovitch” guzzles Iva, swooning in the Count’s arms. Ickle Tartar popsy-wopsky! ” tinkles the Count, as the curtain slowly descends, to the music of “Alimony Where The Volga Flows”.
The Co-eds Foreber
One Co-ed to another— “Aw gwan, don’t say the men-students are stingy, they even let us share their expenses!” The men students said at a meeting, In a most benevolent way, “Why of course you can have a club room If only you’re willing to p ay!”
They gave us the right to play rugby. In fact thought we might have a chance, They said we could enter their track meet. Or even go “stag” to the dance.
They said we could play on the golf links, And might even try for the cup. And since they have been so big-hearted, We reallly should even things up.
For if we deprive them of rugby As regular player or sub. It seems only fair we should give them, Some share in the joys of our club.
And if we usurp their positions, As golfers, debaters and such. To let them crochet in our club room Is really not offering much.
Now co-eds don’t want to play rugby. And men-students don’t want to knit. The whole thing’s due to the age-old jibe "Our equals? Well, what about it?”

Disappointment — A Poem
(Editorial Note:- The Mitre takes great pleasure in presenting to its readers the following poem which by the way is not to be despised. It is a translation from manu script recently brought to light. The story of its discovery is one of the most interesting in archaeological annals. A local householder — a Mr. Si. Atika — on opening a tin of canned goods, noticed an aged looking, and very greasy bit of parchment, which, upon investigation, proved to be an ancient palimpsest. The later writing with which we are concerned was in a peculiar language — some authorities claiming it to be Hebraic — Greek, others entertaining the theory that it was Graeco — Hebraic in origin. It was only translated after a great deal of effort. The author was undoubtedly a student of Athens, if not of Jerusalem, and had, so it appeared, a definite belief in the doctrine of the transmigration of souls. The date of the composition must be placed between the years 7000 B.C. and 21 A.D. The closing verse was undoubtedly written at a later date. Further results, if any, will be published in the near future by the thriving Numismatic Society of the University.
I wish I were a goldfish A-swimming in a bowl. I would not have to say my prayers Or think upon my soul.
My life would be a life of ease From dawn to dusky night; For first from right to left I’d swim And then from left to right.
The sun would fill the east with light; I would not spring from bed. But merely open both my eyes, And flap my fins instead.
No clothes would grace my golden form Save the soft light of day; No buttons would fall off my shirt, No laundry bills I’d pay.
Sweet meats would come a-floating down, Down through my private sea. I would but need to ope my mouth When hunger prompted me.

No studies would disturb my mind, No tests would crack my brain. The weather would be always fine For there there’d be no rain.
When with the passing of each day, Sweet night had clothed the hills, I’d close my eyes, and still my tail, And regulate my gills. * * *
I wished I were a goldfish With scales of glist’ning sheen. But woe is me! alas! alack! I’m now a tinned sardine.
This term has been a very successful one for the Co-ed Basketball team. Each member of the team has shown marked improvement during the season. Margaret Brewer, a forward last year, has been moved to centre where she has proved invaluable through her team-work and brilliant shooting. Olga Jackson, “star” forward is always a dependable shot and has been assisted this year by Doris Bennett, a new comer to the team and one to whom we look for “great things” next year. Phyllis VanVliet, our captain, who played centre last year has been moved to defence in which position she exhibited some splendid work. Dorothy Dean another new-comer also played defence and proved both quick and reliable. Jean Pearton and Jessie Knowles have been substituting as forward and defence respectively and both have been working hard — as have all the co-eds who “turn out” for practice. Much credit is due to our coach “Art”Caulfeild who again has expended a great deal of time and effort in teaching us to play the game Results of Games: Feb. 18th — S.H.S. at U.B.C. 26-24 for U.B.C.

During this term the Women Students of the College have been making efforts to organize a club and to arrange for the support of a Club-room in the Village. The need of such a room for the lady students, where they can meet at times other than dur ing lecture hours, and where they can more or less “get together” — has been apparent for some time. Any attempt to remedy conditions, however, is a new movement, and as new movements are generally considered “risky” the co-eds sincerely appreciate the kindly interest that is being shown and the material assistance that has been offered by the Corporation and by several friends of the Women Student body. To most of us the club room means a place where we will be able to spend our spare time. That comradely leisure is one of the greatest factors and best influences of college life. We need a centre for our play as well as for our work and this we hope to find in a room which is essentially our own. Some of the arguments in favor of such an organization can be considered along the following lines. First it will give the Women Students an opportunity to learn something of real college life — which otherwise cannot be realized by non-resident students. The co-eds will be able to spend more time together, to share the burdens of administration, and through such co-operation to develop something of that intangible something known as “College Spirit”. This will undoubtedly lead to a more widespread support of the co-ed activities. From a more material point of view the advantages of a rest room and place where lunches can be prepared will be greatly appreciated by the co-eds, especially those coming from Sherbrooke who have late lectures, afternoon “labs” , or meetings or who have basketball practices or dramatic rehearsals to attend. A cheery comfortable place to rest, play, talk, eat — and even to work in, seems to be a very sensible investment of time, labor and money. If this new venture brings any part of the benefits to the Women Students that we hope it will, it is deserving of the whole-hearted support of every student. That, and that alone can make it a success.

A Badminton Club was started this year. This game has become increasingly popular elsewhere in the last few years and has already secured a number of devotees here. The Secretary informs us that there are a number of very promising players but we could not quite make out whether he was referring to their ability at the game or to their standing on his books. The fee, we understand, is one dollar for the season. It is a very good sport for “between seasons” and when there are enough members no doubt tournaments will be started. So join up now.
One of the Joys of Life
I stood talking to a friend. We were discussing the relative poetic beauty of the Iambic Scansion as used by Catullus, and the Alcaic stanza of which Horace was so great a master. Our conversation had taken the form of an argument. As we talked the people grouped about us became less and less distinct, until we had quite forgotten their existence. I was vigorously protesting the superiority of the verse invented by Alcaeus; “My dear fellow, just look at the rhythm that is obtained by the slight pause following the bacchic of the first line. Take those beautiful lines beginning — O nata mecum con- sule Manlio, ” observe the sonorous effect of the bacchic following that first spond...... Clang! I was recalled to things terrestial by a trembling shock. Dimly I saw my com panion stagger a few steps, then lurch violently forward. I managed to retain an upright posture by clinging tenaciously to a support which chanced to be within reach. The people surrounding me were swaying about, blindly, drunkenly. Confused sounds arose above the pandemonium which followed the initial crash. I beheld agonized expressions on every side. Old men, old ladies, youths, and (worst of all) fair maidens, all with staring eyes, questioning, entreating. Alas, I was powerless to assist them. Above the tumult rose their fear-sharpened voices. Occasionally I de tected a groan or a despairing cry, as though proceeding from a lost soul in Purgatory. As rapidly as the maelstrom had arisen, it subsided. I found myself standing in the street, the wind cooling my fevered brow. As I staggered away I found myself reflecting on the benefits we derive from that great modern convenience — the street-car.

THE HAUNTED HOUSE
This play is not an academic creation nor yet a monument of literature; it is frankly a play of the third-rate type that seems so popular at the present time. It aims at packing a large number of thrills into the two hours for which it runs, and giving those thrills the necessary effect by a background of comedy. It must not be supposed, how ever, that it is for that reason a bad play, or that it is an easy one to produce. It is constructed with a great deal of skill, and I am sure that it was found very difficult to produce. The honours certainly go to the producer, Mr. Speid, and his versatile stage manager, Mr. Tyrrell; it is to their labours and ingenuity in the first place that the play ran so smoothly from start to finish and that the atmosphere of thrill, mystery, and a- musement was so convincingly created. Plot, there was really very little; I defy any spectator to sit down and write it out on a sheet of paper. A haunted house, a newly-married couple, a supposed murder, a literary amateur detective, and a real sleuth from New York were the essential ele ments; to these were added a number of minor characters who were all in turn suspected of the murder with more or less degree of plausibility. When these diversions wore themselves out, the real "murderer” was introduced in the form of the father of the bride, and the climax came with the news that the corpse was only a cow. Mr. White and Miss Burt are to be congratulated on making so much out of the very poor characters of the newly married couple who are nominally the central characters of the play, but practically pass out of sight as the "plot" gets going. Mr. White scored a success in making so poor a part live; and Miss Burt acted simply and with some spirit, which is all the more creditable as she was suffering from a heavy cold. The weight of the acting fell on Mr. Buchanan, who took the part of Desmond Duncan, the amateur detective. It was a long and heavy part which he carried through admirably, really taking charge of the situation and ensuring the dramatic success of the play. The part of Mrs. Duncan gave little scope to Miss Martin; and this perhaps ex plains why she seemed to find it hard to throw herself into it. In her one dramatic moment, however, when she tells her husband exactly what she thinks of his novels and poetry, she seized her opportunity and put in some good work. The minor parts revealed a surprising amount of talent. Mr. Irwin as the de tective, "honest Dan Grogan", formed an admirable foil to Mr. Buchanan; Mr. Church as the comic policeman made an excellent piece of character acting out of a small part; Mr. Massey as the lachrymose milkman was most effective; Mr. Sprague was a very adequate "hobo, beating his way to Boston” ; and Mr. Williams was excellent as the sedate and elderly murderer. The part of Isabel Westley was very slight and purely conventional and offered no opportunity to Miss Nish to show her powers. She came in and did her best with her lines; but she was perhaps hampered by the fact that her make-up did not suggest the traditional “vamp" of lurid melodrama.

Credit must also be given to the unnamed and invisible actors who took the parts of Hollows Groans, Hideous Laughs, and Clanking Chains. It remains to be said that the play was enthusiastically received by a large audience, and that the intervals were brightened by the very original programme made up to look like a house. The whole thing was a very complete and balanced production. Criticus. ALUMNI NOTES V. E. LYON, past student is now a chemist with Price Bros. Co., Limited, at the Staff House, Riverbend, Que. H. J.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The Annual Meeting of the Alumni Association of Bishop’s College was held in the Herbert Symonds Parish Hall, Montreal, on Feb. 23rd. The President, G. F. Savage, presided over the meeting which became quite enthusiastic as the various re ports were read. At the beginning of the meeting motions of sympathy were passed, and ordered to be sent to Mrs. Lansing Lewis and to Dr. J. Mackinnon.. The President’s report showed a healthy enrolment of paid-up members and disclosed the fact that the Executive has attempted to keep all the graduates, whether members or not, informed of the happenings at College. It also mentioned that the lady graduates had attended one joint meeting of the Association and that the men graduates had assisted the ladies in their preparations for a dance in Trinity Memorial Hall. The Secretary-Treasurer announced sufficient funds on hand to pay the schol arship which was granted last year and a surplus which will probably be increased suffic iently to permit another scholarship to be granted soon. The Principal of the University, Dr. McGreer, announced that, in his opinion, the Association was doing excellent work and that the granting of this scholarship had aroused great interest in the Province. He strongly urged that another one be granted as soon as possible.

In November a very successful Benefit Bridge was held by the Alumnae in Trinity Memorial Hall, about 20 tables being filled. While refreshments were being served Canon Almond spoke to those assembled and assured them of his keen interest in their work, and said that the Alumnae would be welcome to the hall or his services at any time. Mrs. Campbell then thanked Canon Almond for his kindness in allowing the use of the hall and explained that the purpose of the bridge was to raise funds to help to educate some girl without means. At a meeting held on Dec. 5th, in the University Women’s Club the following officers of the Alumnae were chosen for the year 1928. President — Miss Gwendolyn Read. Vice-President — Mrs. L. A. Graham. Treasurer — Miss Eva Murch. Secretary — Miss Evelyn Bennett. Press Correspondent — Mrs. M. J. Campbell. On Jan. 6th, a delightful little dinner was held at the University Women’s Club by the executive of the Bishop’s Alumnae in honour of Mrs. McBain. After this Mrs. McBain, who by the way, has the very loveliest soft Irish voice, repeated the lecture which she had already given at the meeting of the McGill Alumnae, and also to the Arts and Letters Club, the topic being "Yeates and the Irish Drama”. So much that is Irish is far too complex to be interesting to the average mortal, but Mrs. McBain presented her subject in so lucid and interesting a manner, interspersed with quiet touches of humour, that it was indeed a delight to listen to her. W e hear that ever since the Libraries and Book-stores have been besieged with requests for Irish Literature.

Miss Read on behalf of the Alumnae thanked Mrs. McBain, assuring her of their sincere appreciation of a topic so charmingly presented. Refreshments were then served and every one went home saying that they had spent a most profitable and enjoyable evening. A very delightful little dance was held by the members of the Alumni and Alumnae at Trinity Memorial Hall on the night of Feb. 10. There were about 45 couples present, the Rev. A. H. McGreer representing the staff of Bishop’s University. On Tuesday, February 14th, the Presidents and Directors of the Women’s Club were the hostesses at an informal luncheon given in honour of Her Excellency, Lady Willingdon, who was accompanied by Mrs. Osborne. The Club looked very attractive with its decorations of spring flowers, the colour scheme beng carried out in yellow and mauve. Lady Willingdon having learned that the Club was celebrating its first anniversary gracefully proposed a toast to its continued success, and also expressed her appreciation and her interest in the Club. Over fifty of the members were present, as well as the Presidents of the Alumnae Societies in the city, who were invited to be present at this occasion. Miss Gwendolyn Read represented Bishop’s.

So it comes that man, the coward, when he gathers to confer With his fellow-braves in council, dare not leave a place for her Where, at war with Life and Conscience, he uplifts his erring hands To some god of Abstract Justice — which no Woman understands.

A meeting was held a short time ago of a rather unusual character, when the Women Students’ Association sent a deputation to the Students’ Council. To me was given the task of reporting the discussions and accomplishments, if any, of this social gathering. As I was unable to be present at the affair I hoped, by questioning repre sentatives of each party, to be able to combine the two points of view into one harmonious whole. In my innocence I hoped this. I have learned now that the only thing to do is to give both sides of the question, and being polite I will start with the ladies. Their first request was to have their Constitution rescinded and permission granted to draw up a new one. This request was strenuously opposed by the men, and the discussion was quite lively for about an hour, when it was discovered that only one of the men had read the Constitution. It was read to them and they at once agreed to have it rescinded. One of the fair petitioners explained at some length the hard lot of the Women Students at Bishop’s, the long dull evenings spent in a boarding house with nothing to do but pore over books, no place where they could meet for a cup of tea in the afternoon or a game of Bridge at night. All they wanted was to have a room somewhere in the village for a club room. In order to rent this room they wanted to have control of a small portion of the money paid to the Students’ Council, who at present took their money and gave them nothing in return for it, except a few paltry dollars for basketball expenses. This they declared they would willingly give up. Could the men be so un reasonable as to refuse such a request? Apparently they not only could be, but were. Heartless creatures! Had they no sense of justice? Was woman ever to be down trodden and ground under the oppressive heel of man? It would seem so. I was almost moved to tears. The men had rather a different point of view. They were reticent about the Con stitution, but about the money matters they were very definite. They had lived peace fully with the girls for years, allowing them to pay only half the athletic fee that the 66 TURRET MILD VIRGINIA CIGARETTES
67 The Mitre men paid, and giving them practically the same privileges as the men. True the men’s teams took most of the expenses, but how many men played on the teams? They were a University affair and as such were of equal interest to the girls. Now suddenly the girls seemed to have forgotten all that the men had done for them. They wanted a club to hold debates in, to give amateur theatricals in, to hold dances in, and who was to pay for all this? The Students’ Council. It did not matter that they always faced a de ficit at the end of the year anyway. Do away with the Rugby Team and build showers for the girls’ Basketball Team. I was astounded. Could the girls have suggested this? One possible solution, which I merely throw out as a suggestion, and which might present some practical difficulties, is to do away with the distinction between men and women students altogether. Let the women students pay the full fees and enjoy the same privileges as the men. They could easily be given the right to turn out for Rugby and other team practices, and it is quite possible that some of them might make the teams. The matter would have to be taken up with the Intercollegiate Athletic Associ ation. Why shouldn’t girls play on the Rugby team if they have the ability? Then from the men’s point of view, there are some excellent seamsters in the College, and one or two very good knitters. What a day it will be when we men have the honour of sup plying a President for the Women’s Auxiliary!

68 The Mitre
1928 — The Proposition
My dear I have no sweeter gift to give you I’m four years younger and I may outlive you. I’m pretty, and accomplished so they say. And have a disposition staid but gay. For sev’ral years I’ve done my best at college. And crammed somehow a little extra knowledge. Yet never will I interrupt your song Nor contradict you if I think you wrong. With all these qualities I am possessed And hope some day to fill a large hope chest. These things must make you think. Perhaps I’m late, But in this year of grace 1 928 We ladies have aspired to higher things, And love has lent our fancy stronger wings. This proposition, then, may please your eye And if it do, you’ll see me by and by And name the date, for June is on the way And in this month we’ll set our wedding day. The Answer. Your note at hand, the fifth I’ve had this year. Your proposition takes third place I fear. A widow of some years has claimed my troth, And she has more than we shall need for both. Your application then must be laid by. I’m sorry that your terms don’t “please my eye”. There’s one thing though that spoiled your pretty letter. You might at least have scanned your fifth line better.
Cercle Francais
A keen interest has been taken in the circle since its inauguration last fall and it is evident that most students of the university see the value of such an organization for a practical study of the French language. In the two meetings held this year the plan of speaking French only was quite successful, and has proven that the plan is a practical success. About thirty-five students of the university attended the second meeting which was held at the home of Mr. H. Bassett, Belvidere Street, February 23rd. The only restriction of the evening was that members were to speak French only and this proved to 69 The Mitre be no restriction to most of those present. The first half of the evening was taken up by “Bridge" and the game seemed to progress quite as merrily in French as it usually does in English. Mr. Read kindly assisted at the piano in singing some group songs and if the singing was not a great musical success it certainly attained its intended end. Miss Dean sang a French solo which was very well received and Mr. Moore gave a recitation. After more group songs supper was served in Dewhurst’s best French fashion, and the meeting came to a successful end. It is hoped to hold at least one more meeting this year and plans have been made to present two short French comedies if time is found to prepare them. Throughout the winter it has been found difficult to find a free evening on which to hold meetings of the French Cercle but next year better organization and more meetings are hoped for, since it has been proven that the venture is a successful one.
