BRYN MAWR FACULTY
AND ALUMNAE REVOLT
AGAINST SCHOOL HEAD
Autocratic Rule and Red Tape
Government Charged to
I President M. Carey
f& Thomas
BRINGS PROMPT ANSWER
Bryn Mawr College is the centre of
Intercut In the cilucntlonal world today
following the action of the senior faculty
In rising against President M Cnrey
Thomas, The revolt, according to mem
bers of tho faculty and alumnae, has hocn
caused Ijy the "autocratic and dictatorial"
conduct 6f tho president In dealing with
the members of the teaching staff.
Also, It Is known that a mocment Is
afoot In tho college, sponsored by tho Aca
demic Commltteo of tho Alumnao Associa
tion and urged by tho senior professors, to
bring about a radical democratic change In
its administration and that tho alumnae,
headed by Mrs. Charles McLean Androws,
of Xew Haven, former president of tho
Alumnae Association, aro working to ef
fect changes In tho collcgo charter there
by Bryn Mawr shall no longer remain a
sectarian Quaker Institution ana may
avail Itself of tho Carncglo pension fund
for Its professors.
Tho notion of tho faculty nnd alumnae
caused astonishment when tho Informa
tion became public. No Institution of
learning In this section of tho country
Bhrouds Itself with a moro Impenetrable
veil than doe3 liryn Mawr. Newspaper
men are never welcomed, and even on oc
casions when the public Is Invited, no In
formation may bo obtained unless It Is at
first Submitted for tho official vise.
A meeting of the whole body of sentor
professors. Including tho Bryn Mawr
Senate, was held Monday night with it
special commltteo of flvo directors, ap
pointed at a meeting March 30.' Tho
commltteo of directors had received a
letter signed by IS full professors and
addressed to Presldont Thomas asking for
co-opcratlon of tho faculty In administer
ing tho college.
It la stated that the professors unani
mously opposed Doctor Thomas' admin
istration and presented tho directors with
a Bevcro Indictment with specifications.
An epitome of the charges may be
found In tho statement of Mrs, Andrews
Tho points jnado by her arc:
That tho evldenco collected against
President Thomas Is "both accurato and
damaging."
That an Investigation Is most likely to
be successful If "carried on by outsiders."
That tho renl trouble 14 that Bryn
Mawr Is "ovcnulmlnlstcrcd" and "Inex
tricably tied up In red tapo nnd official
dom." That tire charter should be so changed
that no president would have "the solo
power of appointment, reappointment or
dismissal" of faculty members.
That Bryn Mawr Flioulcl be changed
from il sectarian Quaker collcgo; board
of trustees should not be restricted to
members of tho Society of Friends nnd
faculty members should havo advantage
of Carnegie pension fund.
That tho president Is sole Intermediary
between trustees and faculty, and mem
bers of the latter havo no redress from
Judgments pronounced.
President Thomas has replied to the
criticisms by nsscrtlng that "It Is the old
story of the autocrntlc and arbitrary
college president over vvtiose devoted head
breaks all the storms of abuse " She said
she welcomes tho reforms asked by the
faculty and alumnae

Grand Destiny Man's Chief Concern
"We aro easily overcome by temptation

Itev. William P McNally. of St. Gabriel's
Church, today, at the noon-day Lenten
services In the Church of St. John tho
Hvangellst, 13th street above Chestnut
"People should think more of their grand
destiny nnd not so much of worldly
affairs." said Father McNally. "The Joys
of tho world nttrnct its and the devil Is
waiting for our downfall. The only way
to salvation Is tho way of the Cross of
Christ."

the possession of inflamed

This car is tho result of a definite purpose to supply a
definite need with definite finality.
It is built for the man whose purse cannot afford a big,
expensive car
For tho man whose pride cannot afford an unsightly, little,
uncomfortable car
And it is a very definite success.
Beauty is not necessarily a matter of size.
Neither does size altogether control comfort.
But skill, experience and facilities are required to build a
Bmall, beautiful, comfortable, economical car.
In a word, it required Overland organization.
Andherc is the small, light car complete to the last detail.
Its performance is on a par with its beauty, comfort and
completeness.
And its price S615 is far below any former price for any
completely equipped automobile regardless of appearance or
comfort considerations.
A glance at the car impresses you immediately with its
beauty and finish.
As you look it over and rejd its specifications, you realize
its absolute completeness.
But you must ride in it
You must drive it to
ilivevou.
You can own one of these cars. -
But act promptly for no car was ever itr such demand.
In spite of record productions and advancingprlces, there
Is a shortage of cars.
The demand naturally centers on top class,.at bottom
price this smalLlteht car. m-T
And no other car at anvwhere near itsinice can comnar
with this one for beauty.pcrformance, comfort, complete
