C, FEBRUARY 24, 1921 Number 15 Science Prove Successful Hosts SECOND ANNUAL DANCE AT LESTER COURT :r;A dazzling success of course. Look who did it! No need to ask who engineered THE dance of the season! We praise them ungrudgingly. Profiting by .titer experiences of the other faculties, they won undying fame as perfect hosts. The committee showed evident forethought in limiting the sale of tickets, the hall barely missing being overcrowded. "Only about fifteen tickets for the whole of'Arts dashed the hopes of many an Arts man who had already invited bis lady fair; but Science, coming nobly to the rescue, escorted Arts girls; hence, in most cases, only the men missed the fun. They've doubtless heard all the details long ago, though. .'■; Weaver's orchestra furnished excellent music, wisely refusing to yield too much in the way of encores, so that it was not necessary to shorten trie dances at the end. Supper, after the eighth dance, had the effect of making the evening seem longer; in other respects, too, it was a most satisfactory arrangement. The caterer certainly surpassed himself, providing a most excellent supper, at which the "stag" guests distinguished themselves by assisting in serving. Mrs. Klinck, Mrs. Brock, Mrs. Mathe- son, Mrs. Turnbull and Mrs. Davidson acted as patronesses, while Mr. and Mrs. Elliot, from Victoria, were also present. The custom of being introduced to the patronesses is becoming a regular one with university people, and we feel that there was little room for criticism on that score on Friday evening. It fell to the lot of the Science men to return the hospitality shown us in Victoria. The two basketball teams from that city, being in town, were invited to the dance, and a special committee told off to ensure a good time for them. We were not all fortunate enough to meet them, but we hear they had a good time and rather liked our brand of dances. The announcement of the 'Varsity victory over the Elks, during the course of the evening, gave the finishing touch to the success of the dance, besides furnishing a pretext to make the walls of Lester Court resound to the roar of "Kitsilano, Capilano!" U.B.C. Loses Alberta Debate DEBATERS RETURN FROM EDMONTON TRIP Charlie Sivertz, one of our representatives in the inter-collegiate debate at Edmonton, has returned to U.B.C. This morning he called at the "Ubyssey" office to tell us all about it. It seems that the trip was nothing "to write home about." In the first place, it was four below zero down there in Edmonton, and that rather acted as a damper on the spirits of the B. C. boys. Our debaters, Charlie and A. A. Webster, arrived in Edmonton at 4.30 p.m. on Friday and were met by representatives of the University of Alberta. They were taken up to the college and shown around, rooms in the men's college being given to them during their stay. They had their meals with the men, and were entertained with the Alberta yells and songs. As to the debate, Charlie has little to say. The turnout was none too good, but the debate was close. The three judges—a member of the School Board, the City Librarian, and Judge Hyndman —gave their decision for the negative, represented by the University of Alberta. The judges met in conference after the debate and gave their decision, rather than use the ballot system to which we are accustomed. Our debaters were entertained during their very short stay in Edmonton, and were invited to stay over till Saturday evening to see the Alberta-Saskatchewan hockey game; but the Coast, with its warm sunshine, looked too good to them. Webster, however, is still missing. He must have been derailed at Agassiz. STUDENT SERVICE Under the auspices of the University Y. M. and Y. W. C. A.'s, a special student service will be held, at Mount Pleasant Methodist Church, corner Tenth and Ontario, this Sunday evening. Rev. O. M. Sanford, pastor of the church, will give the address on a subject suitable to 'Varsity students. A special section of the gallery will be reserved for students, and collegians are asked to find their way to that section on Sunday, evening. 'Varsity Reaches the Semi-Finals EXCITING HOCKEY VICTORY OVER ELKS Those who neglected to put in an appearance at the Arena on Friday night missed the most exciting game of the season. With the prospect of losing all chances for the championship, both teams battled fiercely to stave off defeat. It is impossible to pick any one player to whom credit for winning the game may be given, for every man on the 'Varsity team played with all the energy that was in him, and the combination which was displayed throughout the game was a great factor, in our victory. As usual, the only disappointing feature was the lack of support on the side-lines. Only five hundred people can be squeezed into Lester Court, even for so great a function as the Science dance. Where were the other four .hundred odd students ? The first period opened with 'Varsity on the attack. Play circled around the Elks' net for several minutes, until one of their players broke away, took the puck down the ice, and scored on a short shot. A few moments later Wilson tied the score for 'Varsity. The Elks soon retaliated, and before the period ended they had scored two more, goals, making the count three to one in their favor. The 'Varsity team came on the ice for the second period in a decidedly desperate frame of mind. At this stage of the game they easily outplayed their- opponents, but :the Elks' goalkeeper stopped shots from all directions.^. Time after time the forward line evaded the Elks' defence by superior combination, only to have their, shots turned aside. At last Lou succeeded in scoring on a pass'from Pinkie, putting us only one goal behind. The advantage thus gained was soon nullified when :the Elks scored again toward the end of the, period. 'Varsity supporters had given up;hope when the teams came on in the third. However, we were stiH very much in the running, and Pinkie scored when the period was about half over. After a few heart-breaking, moments he, repeated this, thus tying- the score. The delight of the dozen onlookers, who represented the University, knew no bounds,' and when the teams began the overtime we knew: that we were going to win.. Six minutes- later Shields performed the noble deed, and scored the winning: goal.

THE HOME OF GOOD SHOES LETTER MEN The time has come when more recognition should be made of the men wearing the B. C. letters, issued by the Alma Mater for honors won on the field of athletics. So, when a man has, the right to wear these letters upon his sweater, let us speak of him as a letter man, and know him as a holder of the Large Block, or Small Block, as the case may be. Let us respect these letters and honor the men wearing them, for they have all done something for the Alma Mater and helped to place the University in the position that she holds in athletic circles to-day. . As a great many students are ignorant as to how and to whom these letters are issued, we will outline below a few of the clauses from the constitution of the Men's Athletic Association: Badges and Distinctions: (1) Large Block B. C, (2) Small Block B. C, (3) Plain B. C, (4) University Shield. The Large Block is awarded for major sports, and may be won by members of the senior Rugby team and by the senior track champion. The Small Block is awarded to students who play on any of the senior teams of the remaining athletics, which come under the heading of minor sports. The class of letters is also awarded to the individual champions in such athletics as boxing and tennis, and to the yell-king. The Plain B. C. is awarded to students playing on the intermediate teams, to the assistant yell leaders, and to those who score five points in the inter-class meet. The University Shield may be worn by holders of the Small Block, and is given for each subsequent qualification. The following are the regulations regarding the wearing of distinctions: Only one class of letters may be worn on any one sweater. No shield or shields may be worn with the Large Block B. C. No letter or shield shall be worn on any playing sweater. No B. C. letters of any description may be worn on any sweater or coat by any student, except those issued by the association, or by sanction of the Students' Council. No Freshman may wear any letters or shield. A student must be registered for his Sophomore year before he is entitled to wear any of the above honors. The reason for no distinctions being worn with the Large Block is that the athletic attainments of the holders of this class of letters should be so well known that they do not require to wear such decorations to make the fact known. CHEMISTRY SOCIETY Have you ever wondered how the Science Juniors and Seniors manage to bear up under the great strain of their work? The question was answered to all those who had the foresight to obey the signs of the Chemistry Society about the meeting last Thursday night, when Mr. H. N. Thomson spoke on the "Joys and Sorrows of a Smelter Chemist." 'Varsity defeated the Monarchs hockey team on Tuesday evening by a score of 1-0.

February 24, 1921 THE UBYSSEY SPORT NEWS The 'Varsity soccer team came safely through the second round of the Mainland Cup, when, at McBride Park, theydefeated the Royal Bank by the score 4-2. The Royal Bank defense kept our boys from scoring for some time; but at last Cameron sent over a beautiful cross to Jackson, who converted it into a goal. Shortly after this Say, on a free kick from outside the penalty area, sent in a drive, which found the upper right-hand corner of the net. . Not satisfied with this, Jackson scored a third goal. In the second period the team did not start so well. Nevertheless, Jackson managed to add another to the score, giving us what proved to be a safe lead, even though the Royal Bank scored twice before the close of the game. I Both periods, particularly the first, were marked with better combination than has been seen on our team for some time. Both McLeod, at outside left, and Cameron, at outside right, played an effective game. Crute and Say deserve special mention. Crow, in goal, was not allowed to freeze, being given more work to do than some goalies have in a dozen games. Nothing need be said of Jackson, as his record of three goals was a fit reward for his hard work and skill in receiving the passes of the other forwards. Without mentioning the others, individually, it can be said that all worked hard and effectively, and the game was won by the combined efforts of every man on the team. It is team play that counts, and, if 'Varsity keeps it up, we stand a good chance of getting into the finals of the Mainland Cup. The, team: Crow, Wolverton, Gwyther, G. Cant, Crute, Gwyther, Cameron, H. Cant, Jackson, Rushbury, McLeod. PREPARE for the world of BUSINESS by taking a short course in the Sprott-Shaw School of Commerce and Telegraphy Day and Evening Classes Phone, Seymour 1810 R. J. SPROTT, B.A., Manager. 'Varsity intermediate basketballers are now champions of their division of the City League by virtue of their 53-8 win over the Kitsilano Community Club squad last Thursday. The college team lost only one game during the season, that being a game earlier in the season against the K.C.C. at the Kitsilano gym. The game on Thursday was fast and interesting, at least from the 'Varsity standpoint. The Kitsilano gym. is small, and gives no chance for the fast passing game that the intermediates are accustomed to use. In spite of this handicap, however, our doughty five went right after the honors, and at half time the score stood 23-4. Swede Johnston, the tall 'Varsity center, had his shooting eye with him on Thursday evening, dropping eleven field baskets. The fast-stepping forwards, Arkley and Bickel, also got more than their share. Heiley dropped five field baskets and seven free shots, while Bickel got six baskets. Elliott and Lewis played an excellent game at guard, the Kitsilano forwards being held powerless at all times during the game. LADIES' ICE HOCKEY On Tuesday, at 1 p.m., experienced lady hockey sharks from Seattle defeated our team—only 3 to 1. Jessie MacBeth scored the 'Varsity goal. Our girls played well, considering their lack of training. Line-up: Forwards, Ruth Craig, Jean Straus, Marion Lawrence; rover, Jessie MacBeth (captain); defense, Helen Clarke, Isabelle McKinnon; sub., Marjorie Coombs. Next Wednesday, at 6.30 p.m., at the Arena, the ladies of Arts '21 will play against a team chosen from the other three classes. Come out and boost your year!

TISDALLS LIMITED The Complete Sporting Goods Store 618 HASTINGS STREET, WEST Phone, Seymour 152 Revenge is sweet! The two Victoria basketball teams which invaded our city on Saturday night were decisively beaten at the Normal gymnasium. Both .these teams had been victorious when 'Varsity played them during the Victoria trip, and it was fully expected that they would win again. However, the superior combination of the 'Varsity was the winning factor, and the games ended 16-3 for the girls and 40-16 for the boys. The girls' game was featured by close checking, the visitors not being allowed to get away once; whereas our forwards had numerous chances to shoot. The accurate passing of our team throughout the game was also very noticeable. The team: Miss I. McKinnon, Miss G. Smith, Miss I. Russel, Miss N. Griffiths and Miss Lee. The first period of the boys' game was very close. The teams scored alternately, and when the period closed the count stood at 8-8. Victoria failed to score in the second period, while we added another eight points to our total. Our opponents failed to keep up the pace in the third, and 'Varsity scored almost at will, running up a score of forty points, while Victoria managed to make only eight more. The playing of Bickell was especially conspicuous. On the whole, it was a very good game, and merited a better turn-out of rooters. The senior basketball and the ice hockey teams have packed their grips and will leave to-night for Seattle, where they will tackle the University of Washington squads. The basketballers will play two games against the U. of W., one on Friday evening and the second on Saturday evening; while the hockey team will play only one game, that being on Saturday evening, at the Seattle rink.

Dyce Circulation Manager R. C. Palmer Editor for the Week Miss R. E. Verchere A DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE The B. C. Boards of Trade and kindred organizations are renewing their agitations for the establishment of a Department of Commerce in the University. They propose that courses be given to serve in business the same ends that the faculties of Agriculture and Science serve in their respective fields; that is, to give students, particularly in the third and fourth years, a technical and professional training in the fundamental principles of business, should they so desire. This would be a further step toward specialized training. It is one which many universities in Great Britain, Eastern Canada and the United States have already taken; and the movement has justified itself in every case. There is certainly a great need for men trained to fill higher executive positions in business in this Province, and undoubtedly it is the duty of a modern university to supply them. But, unfortunately, our institution is hampered again in its development by a lack of funds. Present efficiency must not be destroyed in any way. There is barely enough in the budget for the coming year to maintain efficiency in the departments already established. If, then, commercial courses are to be offered, there are but two alternatives— either business men must wholly, or partially, endow the new department, or the Government must increase the grant. THE "SUN" Early last term the "Ubyssey" had occasidn to refer to the attitude of the "Sun'' newspaper towards the University and the student body. It was pretty generally felt at that time that the "Sun" was not giving the University a square deal in either its news or its editorial columns. We expressed the hope and conviction, however, that, when once this fact had been brought to the "Sun's" attention, any further ground for criticism would be removed. It is but fair to the "Sun" to say that this expectation has been fully realized. This year the morning newspaper has shown, in a variety of ways, that its deliberate policy in regard to University affairs is far from unfriendly. Its editorial columns have been thrown open to U. B. C. students; it has gfven generously of its news space, when requested by undergraduate organizations; it has published unbiased and accurate accounts of University activities. In every way it has served to increase public interest in our present and in our future. The "Ubyssey" is heartily glad that an unnatural antagonism, which could only have been harmful to both parties, has given place to friendly co-operation, in which the student body will not allow itself to be less generous than is the "Sun." February 18th, 1921. - Editor-in-Chief, "Ubyssey," University of B. C., City. Dear Sir: If there is anything the "Sun" can do for the University students, or your magazine, do not hesitate to let me know. It will take a great amount of publicity to really awaken the people of Vancouver to the fact that they have a University city; that there are at the University now close to one thousand students, and that this number could be increased five or six times if the people of .British Columbia can only be made to get right behind the University and put it across. Physically, the University does not to-day exist; but from the contact I have had with some of the staff and students, there is a determination and spirit which will work wonders, if it is only given encouragement. Publicity will be a tremendous factor in helping out, and it was with this- in mind that the "Sun" threw open its editorial page to the University students; The public are reading these editorials with great interest, and they are having the effect of creating talk about the University, which is what is required. Later on, this talk and interest could be "cashed in" on, and moulded into form in the shape of larger appropriations for University work. It was not the writer's opportunity to have a university education; but, realizing what a tremendous factor such an education will mean to the future boys and girls of British Columbia, it will be a pleasure and privilege for me to do anything I can for you. Yours very truly, R. J. CROMIE, Publisher. U. of C. Disqualifies 521 By P.I.N.S. University of California, Berkeley.— Official figures on the number of disqualified students at the university for the last semester, August to December, 1920, released Saturday by President David P. Barrow, show that 521 students were unable to return to the university this semester because of failure to pass in at least ten units of registered work, or having a highly satisfactory standing in at least eight points. This means that approximately five per cent, of the enrolled student body were disqualified. February 24, 1921 THE UBYSSEY 5 ' worrespo^de^ce Editor "Ubyssey." Dear Sir:—We men, who for a number of years past have been wont to regard the Women's Literary Society as a cumbersome, declining organization, existing almost only for the purpose of having meetings to elect officers, uttered a variety of ejaculations upon reading the editorial in last week's issue! Why should a lady—who is always supposed to be unassuming and decorous— give vent to such boasting, gloating and exultation, when her literary society, so long supine, has at last given a feeble kick to show that life is not wholly extinct? We could forgive her braggadocio, had that been all; but when she continues to make odious comparisons, we feel that it is time to call a halt. Truly enough, little has been done during the past month, due to the illness of the former president of the Men's Literary Society; but surely the writer must be very unobservant to state that "once, and only once, has it notified the world of its existence." The writer proceeds to offer to adopt our society, arrange its programme, and conduct its business. Indeed! we prefer to train our members in public speaking, not in listening. Finally, she protests that this magnanimous offer is not made "in the insolence of superior strength." Ye gods! what could be more insolent? D. A. W., '21. Editor "Ubyssey." Dear Sir:—I have before me a letter from "Ungry II.," who speaks sarcastically of those who ate their lunches during a certain address. This criticism is absurd. Any speaker or lecturer who addresses the student body at noon must make allowances for this. But in his other criticism—on our lack of "common courtesy"—"Ungry II." is fully Justified. How is it we have fallen into such careless habits? Is it not because, in our every-day discussions, etc., we adhere too little to the essential formalities of a properly conducted meeting? Each class has only a faithful few who enhance such assemblies by their beneficent presence. We (these few) crowd in to "discuss certain matters," the import of which we hold in ignorance until the chairman manages to make himself heard and announces the "wherefore"—and sometimes the "why." Some resolution is "railroaded through"; someone raises an objection; discussion commences; an amendment is introduced; everyone talks at once. Finally, a committee is elected from the usual favorite few, and everything is left in their hands. There is a wild scramble for the door, accompanied by the roars of the pugnacious. Something beneficial may, of course, be accomplished—but at what a cost! Here, then, is something to think over, to remedy. How many classes, clubs or societies in the University are now setting the good example? All honor to that one which gives its members a comprehensive training on how to conduct properly or to assist with due decorum formal, really worth-while meetings. S. O. S. A Breath of Air—Hot or Otherwise? Editor "Ubyssey." Dear Sir:—As a mere man, I would ask the privilege of using your columns to refer to a delightful and well-written editorial, entitled "A Chivalrous Offer." The altruistic spirit manifest in that editorial rivals in principle the heroic self- sacrifice of the women during the war. What need we fear, with such a spirit pervading our institutions of learning, in times of peace? That it Was possible for one, who had favored such a "particularly successful" society with her "distinguished" presence, to refrain from even slighting remarks concerning her weaker brothers in their "critical condition" and to confine her remarks to just what was necessary "from a sense of responsibility and of pure chivalry," is, in itself, truly commendable. We would congratulate the Ladies' Literary Society on its success. The oratorical contest was so successful that the Judges emphatically declared it to be the worst they had listened to and a disgrace to the society. But, then, what is an oratorical contest? By means of inter-class debates the society is developing the ladies of this University to cope with all the problems of the day, political and social. We may see at a glance that it requires much study and deep thought to decide on the momentous question that the dress of the ancients is superior to the modern; that it requires the exercise of all the powers necessary in politician, statesman or mother for the Ladies' Literary Society to decide that women have had greater influence in the development of civilization than men. We are also delighted to note that the women of the University realize the inefficiency of classroom lectures and have rounded out their programme with a few more. I quote from the editorial: "Once, and only once, this year has it notified the world of its existence. Early in December it held its annual ladles' night." The ladies have advanced from the leading place in civilization—here they are the world. I need go no further in my praise of either the society or the editorial. Apart from the minor points that it is untrue in the sense that it would leave a false impression on one who did not know the facts; that it was uncalled for, considering the success of the Ladies' Literary Society; and that it was inappropriate, coming, as it does, from a member of the executive of the Ladies' Literary Society. Apart from these few minor points, it is a timely and altogether excellent editorial. A. M. H. P.S.—Might I suggest that the writer read and consider a letter in last week's issue, entitled "Swish!"

Candymaker 814 ROBSON STREET ARTS '23 WOMEN WIN SHIELD FOR DEBATING The Women's Literary Society met in the auditorium on the afternoon of February 16th. The occasion was the debate between Arts '22 and Arts '23 for the possession of the shield. Mr. Robertson, Mr. Henderson and Mr. Larsen kindly consented to act as judges. The affirmative: "Resolved that women have had more influence on civilization than have men,' was supported by Miss Dorothy Walsh and Miss Annie Anderson, of Arts '23; the negative by Miss Annie Watson and Miss Mary Munro, of Arts '22. Miss Walsh denned civilization, after the New Oxford dictionary, as the process of instructing in the arts of life, of bringing out of a state of barbarism, of refining and polishing. She contended that the influence of women has been private rather than public; that thus they became the originators of the peaceful arts, and made possible the advance of civilization; that the status of women has always been an indication of a nation's standard of civilization. Miss Walsh has an excellent delivery, and her speech showed clear and consecutive thinking. Miss Annie Watson,' leading the negative, treated with considerable emphasis and conviction the part played by men in legislative, t educational, and religious reforms. Miss Annie Anderson, for the affirmative, pointed out that women, by reason of the nature of their mental and spiritual characteristics, and by their position in society, ancient and modern, have necessarily been the chief agents in the enlightening and refining of human nature. Her manner, though lacking in force, was pleasing, and her material well-ordered. Miss Mary Munro, the second speaker for the negative, recounted the services of men to civilization in invention, discovery, and art. Mr. Henderson announced the decision of the judges, and charmingly added that the negative had made the best of a bad case. "SWEET LAVENDER" Sale of fifty- and seventy-five-cent tickets for "Sweet Lavender" will commence on Friday, at noon, in the Students' Council room. As most students are aware, all dollar tickets for the spring play have already been sold, and a large number of seventy-five-cent tickets are gone. All seventy-five-cent seats are reserved, and the first three rows of the gallery will be reserved, though they will cost only fifty cents. It is planned to make Thursday the big 'Varsity night; so all students are requested, when they exchange their seats, to secure them for Thursday evening. Rehearsals are occupying the attention of all members of the cast, and it is reported that things are going along nicely. Mr. Robert Hunter, Arts''23, is the business manager for the performance, and the following heads of committees are his assistants: Costumes, Miss Norah Willis; properties, Miss Isobel Miller; press, Mr. Lou Hunter; staging, Mr. G.

"Vancouver's Smartest Shoe Store" 666 GRANVILLE STREET UNIVERSITY WINS AT BADMINTON The University was decidedly successful in the first badminton tournament in which it has taken part. The annual tournament, open to clubs all over British Columbia, was held in the Drill Hall last Friday and Saturday. Representatives of the U.B.C. Club were winners in five events, and runners-up in several others. Mr. Mercer, our honorary president, shared the honors of winning the men s doubles in the open event by beating last year's champions in a very spectacular manner. In the men's double (handicap), Findlay, of Science '24, and his partner defeated Mr. Mercer and Frank Pum- phrey, the president of the U.B.C. Club. The latter pair had previously upset all calculations by decisively winning from Cowan and Oppenheimer. Jack Underbill, of Science '24, took part in winning the mixed doubles (handicap). He also won the cup for men's singles in the "under twenty" class, \n addition to this, he was a runner-up in the men's singles (handicap), which event was won by Findlay, of Science '24, in two hard sets, 15-14, 15-14; Great satisfaction is felt by members of the club concerning these successes, and a large turn-out is expected at the Drill Hall on Wednesday night. The University has accepted a challenge from the Fairview Club for a match, to be held in a few weeks' time. ARE YOU GOING TO-NIGHT? The following orders have been issued by Mr. P. D. I. Honeyman, president of the Rooters' Club, in regard to this evenr ing's performance for the theatre party: Be at the Drill Hall, corner of Beatty and Dunsmuir Streets, at 7.15, sharp. On the way to the theatre, have as much fun as you like, but don't get rowdy. Remember the University name. Help out all you can by going into the theatre in an orderly manner. Help out the ushers, and take your own seats; be square, and don't take the other fellow's. Don t interrupt the regular performance, but stage all your fun between acts —and then "let 'er go!" "Meek" will lead the yells, "Jimmy" the songs, while "Mickey" will handle the parade. Women's undergrad., please be in your places before 8.00, to avoid crowding when the men get there. Everybody come on, make it a big night, and let's have lots of fun. Wear your rooter's cap. Remember, "Tuum Est."

C. :t-''"5P" THE UBYSSEY ;, February Ssij 1921 BASKETBALL 'Varsity senior basketballers looked f like real champs on Wednesday evening : last, when they defeated the Kitsilano Community Club in the semi-finals for the championship of the City League. The college team was absolutely perfect, * and such speed has not been seen on a local floor" for some time. 'Varsity seniors are prime favorites Jar th£ championship of the City Basketball League by virtue of their 24-20 win .. over the Y.M.C.A. Towers on Saturday . night. . The game was played in the '. Y.M.C.A. gym., and was one of the best of the season, although it was not quite as fast as the 'Varsity-Kitsilano tilt in the. semi-finals. There is one game yet to be played in the finals, the total number of points in the two games deciding the championship. Our squad played an excellent combination game, and in this respect were superior to the Towers' team at all times. The team, with individual scores: Forwards, Mathers (8) and Anderson (2); center, Buchanan (12); guards, Carlisle and Gross (2). Our senior ladies' basketball squad • suffered a temporary setback on Monday evening when they tied St. Mark s, champions of the Sunday School Athletic League, in a hard game. The final score was 5-5, although at half-time our team was leading 3^0. Miss Gladys Weld, our star center, played only the first half, Miss Isabel McKinnon substituting in the final game. Gladys was laid up with a cold, but got out of bed to go and play the game. STOP! LOOK! LISTEN! The last meeting of the Women's Literary Society will be held on Wednesday, March 2nd, at 3 o'clock, in' the auditorium. Mr. Wood will deliver an address on "The Development of Continental Drama." The Faculty and men students are especially invited. Refreshments will be served. Mr. Harry L. Kingham, a graduate of Pomona College and the University of California, will address a mass meeting of students to-morrow, at noon, in the auditorium, under the auspices of the Student Y.M.C.A.

We read that the tag-day for European students was very popular in some American universities. We hate to think that a newspaper could lie, but from the reception accorded it by U. B. C. . . . ! Exactly. Prof. Robinson i (talking heatedly to the super-advanced algebra class)—Don't listen to :what I am saying with one ear and talk to- your neighbor with the ■other. OTHER PLAYERS' CLUBS Our Players' Club has been with us as long as we have existed as a University; McGill has had its Players' Club scarcely a month. This may be rather surprising to us, who thought McGill was years ahead of U.B.C. in everything. McGill would still have us believe that, no doubt; but the announcement that only now has a Players' Club been formed there has quite disillusioned us. In such a large student body there should be some excellent material for the club, and we may confidently expect news of substantial progress before long. "The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife" was last week presented at Queen's University by the Faculty Players. The French atmosphere of this play, a merry farce by Anatole France, was well retained, and the play was adequately costumed, owing to the assistance of Mr. Roy Mitchell, of the Hart House Players, Toronto. The English Club of the University of California has just obtained permission from the holders of the copyright to produce "Kismet," in which Otis Skinner starred, as its spring play. The Greek Theatre, that envied possession of the Califprnians, will be used. The scenery for "Kismet" promises to be wonderful. It is to be worked out in Arabian designs; and new lighting effects and elaborate draperies will make the production unique in the history of the theatre. Ten years ago California attempted something quite different. The Mask and Dagger Society presented "Candida," a play in three acts by George Bernard Shaw. Eastern schools, in which interest in the contemporary theatre is more mature, have inspired some of the most successful playwrights and producers, as well as actors. The establishment of the college theatre from Harvard to Berkeley, in the States, and from McGill to U. B. C, in Canada, shows the vitality and scope of this modern movement, and the desirability of academic contact with contemporary art and life. NURSING GIRLS ENTERTAIN The girls of the University Nursing Class held an informal tea at Glencoe Lodge last Friday afternoon, Miss Ethel Johns, Director of Nursing, being the guest of honor. Other guests were Mrs. Klinck, Miss McKenzie, Mrs. Coleman, Mrs. Brock, Mrs. Mullen, Miss Healy, Miss Johnson and Miss Wilson. . The time passed pleasantly in chatting over the tea-cups. ADDRESS ON BANKING Mr. E. .H. Harrison, general manager of the Union Bank of Canada, was the speaker at the regular meeting of the Junior Economics Club, which took place at Chalmers Church on Monday evening. He spoke on "Banking," and the discussion which followed showed that there are a number of keen students of our banking system.
