WE have some changes to chronicle on the Staff of the College. Miss Thomas's continued ill-health led to her resignation of the secretarial and tutorial work she had done so efficiently for us ; and the Council has appointed Miss Kathleen I. Hind as Secretary. Miss Joan Evans is Librarian, and a new member of the Staff, Miss Evelyn Spearing (formerly Fellow of Newnham College), comes into residence in the Michaelmas Term to help in the English school. Owing to war conditions the General Meeting of the College was very thinly attended this year. Those who were present heard from the Treasurer a favourable account of the College's financial position, for in the past year more has been done than before towards payment of the interest on the Building debt, while the College expenses have not greatly increased. We owe very hearty thanks to our Treasurer, Mr. Cronshaw, for having piloted us through these difficult years of building and strain on our finance. The General Meeting re-elected Miss Moberly, Miss Wardale, and Mr. Hamilton Fyfe, as Members of Council, and the Council co-opted Miss Rogers, Miss Haig-Brown, and Mr. Nagel.
17 Considerable interest attaches to the history of this year in Oxford, as for the first time women who have passed the Second Public Examination, have completed three years' residence and attained the age of thirty, have a right to the University Franchise. The College informs old students if they are eligible, and they then apply to the Registrar of the University for the necessary forms. The demand for qualified teachers continues to be in excess of the supply, and I hope that old students who are brought into connection with girls preparing for College will take every occasion of telling those who are fitted for teaching of the many opportunities that are now opening to women. For instance, a girl who intends to teach will be able to apply under the Board of Education for a scholarship to help her with her University course, on condition that her fourth year is given to training, and that afterwards she teaches in a " recognized " school. The ideal before the State is that in time to come all who intend to teach, whether in Elementary or in Secondary Schools, should begin their period of training by obtaining a University education ; and that the dignity of the teaching profession, wherever it is exercised, should be equally acknowledged. After training posts will be open, not only in State Schools, whether Elementary or Secondary, but also in Continuation Schools—a very interesting work needing considerable aptitude in the " handling " of the growing up boy or girl—and also for " Advanced Courses " in Secondary Schools, where subjects and groups of subjects are taught up to a standard which is in direct relation to the first year's work at a University. Facilities are now offered at all training centres to University students, and their fees reduced by a Government grant. This, we hope, will immediately increase the number of students who take a course at a training college. The Educational Register of trained and professional teachers exacts experience in addition to these other qualifications : all who have already gained their experience should write to the Teachers' Registration Council and get their names on the list. This helps to produce a body of professional teachers who will advance the interests of education in general by establishing a high standard of individual attainment among teachers themselves. Among students just leaving College the claims of Government and war work are necessarily strong, but in the future, to which we all look forward, education claims a supreme place. The College is to be congratulated on Miss Edna Thomas's First in Modern Languages, and Miss Joyce Peters's distinction in the Economics Diploma. We had the great pleasure of entertaining a number of Italian Professors on Sunday, May rgth. They came to tea at St. Hugh's on their way back from Blenheim, and charmed us all by their ease and urbanity. They were greatly interested in Collegiate life for women, and wished for interchange of ideas on this and other subjects between Italy and England. In our beautiful garden, hot with sunshine, many conversations went on in Italian and French, and threw a foreign air for that brief moment over our surroundings. We were fortunate in having members of the Staff who could speak Italian, more or less—sometimes less rather than more Several Old Students have visited us this year : Misses Matravers, Mammatt, Hatch, S. A. White, Olivier (who came to urge students to help on the land), R. E. Hamilton ; Mrs. Bentley (L. Ash), Mrs. Shebbeare (A. Woodhouse), Mrs. Richardson (N. Dening) ; Misses Wigg, Hales, Johnstone, Snowdon, Tew, Sprules, Lardelli ; Mrs. Bell (M. Ottley) ; Misses Arbuthnot Lane, Phillips ; Mrs. Davis (M. A. Mack); Misses Gordon, Penny, Talbot, Davis ; Mrs. Roberts ; Miss Nott ; Mrs. Thomson
18 (G. Bebb) ; Miss Hill ; Mrs. Walker (Marian Crick); Misses Homersham, Leslie Phillips, Southwell, Shaw, Potts, Greig, Oliver, T. M. E. Evans, Gardner, Ingram, Nicholas, Beames, Beasley, Brown, Holland, Jenkins, Spencer, Parrett, Vaughan, Davies-Colley, Draper, Macdonald, Price, and Savory (the two latter in uniform). A very great loss has come to St. Hugh's in the death, at her post in Africa, of Mary Cornish, a notice of whose eager, loving and dutiful life will be found on another page of the CLUB PAPER. E. F. JOURDAIN. CLUB MEETINGS. No Club Meetings have been held this year on account of the travelling restrictions. The following Committee Members were nominated and elected without opposition :—President : Miss Moberly ; Vice-Presidents : Miss E. F. Jourdain, Miss E. E. Wardale ; Treasurer : Miss M. M. Addison; Editor : Miss J. Evans. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTS. The Accounts for October, 1916—October, 1917, show an even smaller balance than those of the previous year. That there is a balance in hand at all is due to the fact that the London Meeting had regretfully to be abandoned this year on account of travelling restrictions, and that therefore there have been no expenses for Club Teas, and to the more pleasant fact that several members have paid off arrears of long-standing. It is to be hoped that the many members who have unfortunately allowed their subscriptions to fall into arrears this year, and who have turned a deaf ear to all appeals, will recover rapidly from their affliction and turn the other ear to the incoming Treasurer byway of greeting.

OLD STUDENTS' SCHOLARSHIP FUND. When the Old Students' Scholarship was first offered in 1904, at '30, it was hoped that it would soon be raised to a larger sum. So far this has not been possible, but an attempt is being made to realize this longstanding ambition in 1919. An appeal has been sent to all Old Students, in response to which new subscriptions amounting to L'Io I's. 6d. have
19 already been received. The subscription list for 1918 now stands at n2 16s. 6d., and as several subscriptions have still to come in it seems possible to offer the Scholarship at £35next year. C. M. ADY, Treasurer. BALANCE SHEET, 1917. RECEIPTS. Brought forward Subscriptions Interest ...

1Reviews. Italy, Mediceval and Modern : A History.
By E. M. Jamison, C. M. Ady, K. D. Vernon, and C. Sanford Terry. Oxford, at the Clarendon Press, 1917, 6s. A good many people can write readable history, and the chroniclers of Italy do riot have to dig very deep for their gold ; but few historians can write a readable text-book, and present nearly three hundred years of living history in less than a hundred pages. This is Miss Ady's achieve-
20 ment in the section of " Italy, Medimval and Modern," for which she is responsible. The most memorable of her chapters is perhaps that on " Italy and her Invaders." In an age dominated by war and beauty we move among men whose actions and dreams re-made the civilized world. There has never since been so " historical " an age until our own. We understand the historical significance of Leonardo, whose art is " universal because it is the expression of a mind that could rest content with nothing short of universal experience " ; of Raphael, " the idealist who found in beauty the great reconciling force of the world " ; of Michael Angelo, who "knew the dissatisfaction which springs from a sense of forces which man is powerless to control, and of horizons wider than those of the material universe." These forces and these horizons are once more the forces and horizons of history, and that is the secret of the great interest which at this moment readers will find in this little book. The abstractions of history are once more its commonplaces, and the living theories which we are shown in Italian Renaissance history are just now mirrored in our own. M. I. M. BELL. The Theory of Woodcraft Chivalry. By Margaret A. Westlake. The Order of Woodcraft Chivalry, 4, Fleet Lane, E.C. 4. 1918. 6d. Miss Westlake's explanation of the aims of the " Woodcraft Way " rests on an educational theory that is refreshingly sensible. Although pleading for first-hand contact with nature, she avoids the mistake of comparing primitive with civilized conditions to the detriment of the latter ; and she treats primitive conditions as the natural method of allowing a child to recapitulate in his own person the history of the race. On the other hand she realizes that the effort to develop the individual apart from the group ends in disaster, and also that the individual cannot mechanically benefit by all the laborious acquisitions of civilization in the past ; he must earn his inheritance by personal effort. In developing her theory Miss Westlake considers the means of physical growth and health, the use of crafts and learning, the claims of social life and citizenship, and the inspiration of religion and the arts. It is obvious that in a small book of twenty-seven pages this is a large programme, and at times the treatment is hurried by want of space, while the attempt to express the technical constitution of the " Woodcraft Way " in connection with the ideal that inspires it lends itself to a rapid alternation of small detail and large generalisation. But a book that shows a grasp of the possibilities of fresh educational methods is helpful and suggestive, and has a value beyond its illustrations from history and science, which sometimes fail to hit the mark. It is written, too, with modesty and enthusiasm, and with a commendable wish E. F. JOURDAIN. to learn. RECENT APPOINTMENTS. Lecturer :H. C. Allen, Elementary Training College, Salisbury.

SENIOR STUDENT'S LETTER. Our present life up here might possibly seem a prosaic one to old students of the years before the war, yet we find it very absorbing and on the whole very pleasant. We are now the second largest Women's College in Oxford, our numbers being 8i all told. Our last first year was 29 strong, of whom nine are reading History, nine English, and five French ; Mathematics, Economics, Law, Forestry, Science, and the Certificate of the University of Paris each claiming one student. Since there is only room for seventy students in College, for the future all fourth years and a few other students will have rooms outside College. Most of the first and second years spend a part of their spare time in doing local war work. Some have been regularly to Didcot, carrying on the work there until paid workers arrived ; 'others have been digging allotments, working in canteens, taking out wounded soldiers in bath-chairs, and otherwise helping as opportunity offered. Meanwhile the games are being kept up. The Hockey Team was only just defeated by Somerville in the Cup Final, and the Tennis Cup was brought back by a victorious six for the fifth time in seven years. A Lacrosse Club has been formed, and will probably soon take an equal place with the other two Clubs. Yeats' Countess Cathleen was acted at the beginning of this term to an audience of women dons and students, in aid of the Oxford Fund for the New Hospital for Women. The First Year kept up an old tradition, and acted The Importance of Being Earnest for the amusement and distraction of Schools people. An unusually large number of students have joined the Bach Choir, and the Concerts at the Sheldonian and New College Chapel have found many sympathetic listeners. We have further been fortunate in having really good music in College : Mrs. Pittar and Miss King (residents in Oxford) have three times given us violin and piano concerts of Brahms, Beethoven, Schumann, and Cmsar Franck. The Chapel Organ, towards the cost of which the Old Students' gift to Miss Moberly on her retirement was contributed, is much appreciated ; a further welcome gift to the Chapel is an oak lectern from Mr. Cronshaw. A kind but anonymous donor has given a set of chairs for the Library,for which we should like to offer our thanks. The Library has grown considerably lately, thanks in no small measure to the Librarian, who seems to delight in giving first editions and other treasures foraged from small bookshops. An attempt has been made to reform O.S.D.S., and to make it part of an Inter-Collegiate Women's Club, with rooms in the town. The committee of representatives felt, however, that the scheme had better be laid aside during the war, in the hope that the Club may come into being in more peaceful days, when Oxford may have regained something of her old aspect. V. B. C. F. RHYS-DAVIDS, Senior Student.
24 "THE IMP." Old Students may be interested to hear that a College Magazine has been started this term. It does not contain College notices or news of Old Students, which find their place in the Fritillary or Club Paper ; its aim is to represent the literary element in St. Hugh's. It has been named The Imp, after the famous Imp of Lincoln, the See of St. Hugh. Contributions from past and present members of the Senior and Junior Common Rooms are solicited ; short stories, poems, correspondence, etc., will be welcomed. A copy of the first number will be sent on application to the Editor o The Imp, St. Hugh's College. The price is One Shilling. CENTRAL BUREAU FOR THE EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN. LOAN FUND APPEAL. Many professions and occupations are now open to well-trained women, and recent experience has proved that by the extension of many forms of industry permanent opportunities await enterprising students. For those, however, who are without the means for thorough preparation for such openings the prospect of remunerative and congenial employment must always be uncertain. The Loan Fund of the Central Bureau for the Employment of Women has helped many women to pass from a position of uncertainty to one of assured independence, and has already solved many difficulties for parents and students, but if the increasing demands upon it in the immediate future are to be adequately met, the capital at its disposal must be increased. Such a need must make a strong appeal to all University women, and it is hoped that Old Students of St. Hugh's College will help it to the best of their power. Contributions, however small, will be welcomed ; money given to a fund like this will be used over and over again, so that the good service done by each single contribution will be multiplied indefinitely. Contributions should be sent to Miss Joan Evans, St. Hugh's College. MARY CORNISH. MANY of us who knew and loved " Molly Cornish " during her years in College, were grieved to hear of her death, coming so unexpectedly in the midst of hard and most useful work in the Mission field. She was born in August, 1880, and from her childhood was always much interested in Church work. She entered St. Hugh's College in October, 1 go4, and took Honours in the English School. She then had a year's course of Teacher's Training. In 1908 she responded to an appeal made by Mrs. Temple and Mrs. Creighton, and did voluntary work at St. Helen's, Abingdon, under the Wantage Sisters. She was there till 1912, when she offered herself to the Universities Mission, Central Africa. For many years previously she had been studying Swahili, thinking that she might be called to Zanzibar, and when she knew that she was going to Nyasaland she began ChiNyanja and Portuguese. She had exceptional linguistic ability, as was shown by her teaching Portuguese, German, and English through the medium of Chi-Nyanja.
25
This was when she was at St. Michael's Training College for natives as Christian teachers. She also studied Hebrew, and when the work began of translating the Bible into Chi-Yao, at the Bishop's request she translated the book of Joshua into that language, and had begun to do the same for Ecclesiastes and the Song of Solomon. But of all her gifts the most striking, as regards her work at Mpondas amongst the uncontrolled girls of Africa, was that of a deep spiritual force and moral influence, which acted as a magnetic power, drawing out all that was best and gentlest in them, and raising them in a remarkable way to higher standards of civilized life. She taught them and cared for them, striving with all her power to save them from the degraded vices of Mahommedanism, which in the debased form in which it flourishes in Africa is more terribly immoral and more actively opposed to Christianity than in some other lands. Her secret was that she loved them. By her bright kindness and unfeigned belief in them, she led many wild, difficult African girls to accept Christianity, and to lead Christian lives, whom only the most patient kindness could have touched. On the day of her death at Mpondas all the schoolgirls and Christian women sat round her house weeping and making the wailing which natives make for their dear ones, which had never before been heard at the death of an European. Last Christmas, Molly became engaged to Capt. Wigan, R.A.M.C., and she was to have been married at Easter, but she was taken ill in January and died a month after her engagement. A cross is being put over her grave at Mpondas, bearing the inscription, '째 Dominus Illuminatio Mea," which is not only suitable to her life and work, but also recalls the great love for Oxford which she retained to the last, and which she shared with Capt. Wigan, who is an Oxford man. The Mission mourns her loss ; and to our pleasant recollections of this most loyal of St. Hugh's students is added the knowledge that she has died whilst spending herself in the greatest of all holy causes.
(From the late Miss M. Cornish.)
LETTERS. U.M.C.A., Mponda's, Fort Johnston, Nyasaland, British Central Africa. Dec. 1, 1957. . . . Our mails are wholly unreliable now, so I knew that no answer I could send would be of any use for the October CLUB PAPER. I was ill in bed then with a bad bout of fever, and it left me so shaky that it is only the last week or two that I have really been all right again ; the result is the most dreadful arrears of work of every sort, and letters have had to wait. This has been a very hard year for us, as for everybody else, partly because the war out here is hampering us very much, and partly because we are so desperately shorthanded now. Government has had both our steamers (for the Lake work) since the war began, and has commandeered our doctor, a nurse, ten laymen, three priests, and a deacon ! and some of the staff who were home on furlough cannot get passports to come back, so it has been and still is hard work to keep going at all, and work is in no way normal just now. . . . The Chi-Yao Bible is our big interest now, and takes all the time I can spare from the ordinary routine of everyday jobs. This will be the very first Chi-Yao Bible, and we hope to have it ready for the British"and Foreign Bible Society to print for us next year. You can imagine what a joy it has been to me all this year to have a share in
26 it Chi-Yao is a splendid language in many ways—perfectly delightful in its picturesqueness—but it is often very difficult to make it express what one wants in doing Bible translation apart from actual narrative. I am trying my hand at some hymn translations now. Everyone seems very hazy as to what work the running of a secretarial and accountancy office on one's own implies. As a"matter of fact, after our office has been open three years we are still rather hazy ourselves, and are prepared for anything and everybody—from the gentleman who wants us to audit the books of East End publichouses to the other one who wants copies made of 16th-century wills, of which he carefully gives us quite wrong particulars, this meaning a Cook's tour of London from the Record Office to St. Paul's via the British Museum and Lambeth Palace Library. Of course we have certain regular work which takes up a good deal of our time : For instance, we keep all the accounts of the National Council for Combating Venereal Diseases, and also those of the London and Home Counties Branch of the same Council. Then there is usually about two hours' secretarial work to be done each day at the Privy Purse Office at Buckingham Palace, to say nothing of a firm that seems to live on legal deeds, and wants every one of them epitomised. Then there are various clients to whom we send secretaries each week for private correspondence. Besides these activities, we accept a certain number of pupils at the office whom we train to be professional secretaries. As far as possible these are trained on the actual work executed in the office, though naturally this does not occur until they have mastered a certain amount of theory. The pupils, necessarily, take much work and time, as, besides those general subjects which every secretary must know, some who are training for particular posts ask for guidance on all sorts of abstruse subjects, and we find we are expected to have a sound working knowledge of Welsh Disestablishment, Oriental Languages, Russian Literature, Modern Music, and Social Reform ! Then, finding how abysmal was the ignorance of many of our pupils when they first came to us, for the last two years we have been giving classes at various schools on such matters as private banking accounts, committee work, and the elements of investment. Besides all this regular work, we always have to be ready for any occasional work that may turn up. Lately, amongst other things, we have attended various committee meetings of social workers and members of Parliament on the Education Bill ; we have overhauled systems of filing correspondence for several societies, and reorganized sundry methods of account-keeping, including those of a War charity and a girls' school. So that altogether there are not very many spare minutes in the day. M. V. GIBSON. M. J. GREIG.
When I came here in October 1916, girls had already been working at soap-packing and candle-packing for two years, and candle-making, which implies both strength and skill and is really men's work, had been begun. There were about two hundred women and girls employed, who had already developed traditions and habits of their own. Some of these were not very desirable—bad language, screaming at the top of their voices, and what can only be called " carrying-on " were characteristic. It had been the habit of the firm to discharge them for some offence and to take them back ,a couple of weeks later, so that they did not mind even being dischirged. Soap and candles are considered " low," so we draw our hands almost entirely from the real slum population. Many of them are undeveloped, half-starved creatures, continually in and out of employment. The manager took me round the first morning to every department in which girls are employed ; told me I was to engage and dismiss them, and that the under. manager, whose office I was temporarily to share, would give me the books and names. From that day to this I have been left practically to my own devices ; no one has hindered me, but the supreme authorities have not had the time to exert themselves much on my behalf. The foremen here are a nice set of men, but they have never had to deal with a woman whose position in the works was superior to their own, and at first they did
27 not relish it. However, I have done my best not to interfere with their authority over the women and girls, and they seem more reconciled now. One elderly clerk who sees to repairs tells me that now he can go about in peace, the girls no longer run after him or shriek at him as he comes through their departments. I have some good forewomen, and I think a great deal is due to their influence ; they are quiet with the women instead of shouting at them, as the men so often did. When I dismiss a girl I do not take her back again. One girl could not believe this, and kept on applying, till at last she told me, " Father says I was to tell you he wouldn't mind giving you two shillings if you'd take me back." The women in the candle factory used to begin at 6 a.m., but they now work from 7.45 a.m. till 5.30 p.m., a reduction of an hour a day, since they now have no break for breakfast. The output however has not been lessened, as they are so much fresher while they are at it. Also, there is now a small canteen for those who cannot go home. They used to have to walk up and down outside and eat, sometimes in pouring rain, if they could not afford a "coffee-shop." Candle-making was a very " close" trade ; it is heavy and skilled work. The men would not hear of women being admitted, and in addition honestly believed it was beyond their capacities. Finally, however, the firm was advertising for men in vain. A Belgian woman applied, saying she had been a candle-maker in Antwerp all her life, and her mother before her. The foreman asked his men to let her try, and they, believing she could not do it, consented. In a few weeks she had beaten the men's pre-war record of what they were allowed by their union to do. She trained others, and now, except for a few over-age or discharged men, the shop is full of women. Those of ten months' standing beat the men's pre-war record most weeks ; but since January i the men have thrown aside their old regulations, and keep just ahead of the majority of the women. It is supposed to take two years to train a candle-maker, so the women have done well. ALISON DOBBS. I fear I have nothing of special interest to record for the CLUB PAPER. I left Oxford last summer, where I had been working for the " Certificate of Merit," which is equivalent to the B.Litt. My thesis on Greek Oligarchies gained the Certificate, after what I hope will be my last experience of a " Viva." In the autumn I went up for a time to Manchester, to a post at the High School under Miss Burstall. I am not remaining there after this term, though I am glad to have had a little experience of such work, and to have seen something of the life of a large school. The Manchester High School is the largest in England after Cheltenham. It was quite an imposing spectacle to see the whole school assembled in the Hall of the University. One looked down from the gallery upon six hundred and fifty yellow hair-ribbons and white blouses, varied by members of the staff in gowns and hoods of different colours, from the scarlet-and-gold of a Glasgow Doctor to the pale blue which is so very inappropriately chosen by Manchester University for the hoods which have to brave its native smuts. It is very interesttng to see something of a great Northern city. Nothing could be in sharper contrast to Oxford than the noise and dirt of Manchester, with its great drays thundering over the cobbles, and the big bales of white cotton continually being hurled down from the factory windows on to the carts beneath. Still, one feels in touch with a big world, and there is something very attractive about the vigour and kindliness of the North Country people. M. L. GORDON. I have been working since 1914 at the Technical College, Huddersfield, as Warden of the Women Students and Lecturer in English. The work is interesting, though the town and the building are ugly and dirty, and I should be happier if I could pick the College up and put it down in the midst of the beautiful surrounding country. I have day classes working for the London Matriculation, Intermediate, and B.A. examinations, and evening classes for students whose work prevents them from coming in the daytime. Some of these are girls who work hard in the mills from six o'clock in the morning to six o'clock at night, often working overtime too, but who find time
28
to attend two or three evenings a week at the Technical College. The coming Continuation Classes will improve their lot. Owing to the establishment of the British Dye Works and of picric acid factories, the population of the town has increased enormously since the war. Incidentally, the workers are becoming dyed, and it is the commonest sight to see men and women going about the town stained brilliant yellow, even to their hair. W. S. Gilbert might think, if he could visit Huddersfield, that the 'Esthetic Movement of the " Eighties " had at last reached us, and that we had now learned to be " greeneryyallery." Even the horses follow the fashion, and I am told that the Tommies deliberately choose to walk out with a yellow girl in preference to her pink-and-white sister, not from aesthetic motives, but as a gallant recognition of her sacrifices for her country. But it is indeed pathetic to see these girls, and still more pathetic to hear, as I did the other day, of a baby born bright yellow ! I understand that there is enough high explosive made here to blow up the whole of Huddersfield, and the men are notoriously careless in handling dangerous materials ; but after four years we still live.
