Will You Help the Greatest Woman inthe World?

Madame Curie, the discoverer of ra-(Hum, is the greatest woman in theworld today. She is coming to Ameri-ca soon and needs your support to helpIur tbe r her service to humanity for'She has no radium with which to CU1'ryon her expertmente France is poorand all the radium there is being usedin the hospitals,

'wbcn asked what she would chooseif the whole world were at her feet,Marje Curie replied, "A little more ra-dium." And this is wbat we women ofAmerica pr-opose to give her. Tn theUnited States alone there are morethan three hundred thousand cases ofcancer and the majority of these canbe cured through scientific treatmentwith radium. A small committee ofwomen and notable scientists has beenformed in New York City and theyhave pledged themselves to raise onehundred and thirty thousand dollarsto pay for a m-am of the magic metalwhich will be presented to MadameCurie upon her arrival in America, Noone will be asked to contribute andonly those who feel it is a prj~'liegewill be permitted to give.Madame Curie is great not only be-

cause of her gift to science, but be-cause or the spirit with which she hasgiven it. She says, "it is for allpeople." Willingly she has g Iven herlife and .her- money to the cause. andshe is now too poor to buy any morer-ad ium to further her experiments,At C, C. we have set aside a week in

which to raise money for the fund. OnApril seventeenth, Dr. Daghlian of thePhysics Department gave an interest-ing illustrated lecture on "Radium." Itis hoped that Connecticut will makethis a one hundred per cent. contribu-tion, and show that every g-irl has anin ter-ns t in aiding suffering humanity.Marie Curie has given everything andnow it is up to woman-kind to helpfurther her work.

THE CHALLENGE AND THEPROMISE.

How many times do the lights acrossthe river- and down in the harbor beck-on to you and prophesy great deeds(or the future? To Freshmen theypromise four splendid years, filled withcollege loyalty and love and greatachievements. To the Seniors theypromise opportunities for lives of ser-vice and accomplishment, of recordsto be rr:ade for the glory of their AlmaMater. To everyone living here onthis hmtou the lig-hts are an inspira-tion, a stimulation for' their dreamsand plans, and a challenge for the ru-ture. Whether here at C. C. or faraway in distant parts of the worldwe carry always with us a picture ofthese beckoning lights. At momentswhen we are tir~d and diSCOUraged:when it seems that after all life is notquite what it was before we encoun-tered any of its real problems, we pic-ture again the vision of these lights,shining as brightly through darknessand storm as when the mists and foghave rolled away and all is calm andclear. 1Ve have a vision of their beamslighting the dark waters for the sailorson the sea and life becomes ht-Igh t andpromising a.gain , Like thc light, itbeckons us to struggle to make ourlives shine for others, traveling on adarker sea.As the lig-hts are nrwa.ys to C. C.

girls a challenge and a promise of thefuture, so Silver Bay will always bea challenge to the hundreds of stu-dents who visit its' shores every vea r.Do you remember, how in the clays

preceding your entrance to college,you were fired with such splendtd 'ideals of friendship and service and aneagerness to follow great leaders, whowere to open to you vast fields whereyou might explore, until you flna.llyfound where you could reap the mostand give the most for your fellowmen?We all know only ·too well how allthese ideals were founded 011 littlesense of the practical. and we knowhow on various' occasions our liveshave seemed empty and void, when wehave suddenly discovered that theseideals were to be attained only afteryears of struggle and then 'perhaps' oc-casionally the struggle has seemed al-most too great.But then at the end of a year when

all your ideals and hopes seem to bebr-oken and your life almost worthless,you go to Silver Bay. 'You go, perhaps,not because you know' what SnverBay really is, but because everyonesays you ought to go.

GLIMPSES OF GLORIOUSDAYS.

At the Silver Bay .Oonrerence lastyear .ronatnan Day remarked "a prayermeeting is a smart body of men sur-rounded by women." This witticismhad a tremendous appeal, because ofits obvious humor. Strangely enough,the Student Y. W. C. A. Conference isthe exact opposite of the prayer meet-ing~ a large body of girls surroundedby a very few men. The fellowship ofseveral hundred errts is one of the bigthings at Silver Bay. To eat together,work together, play together, givesrise to a wonderful spirit of comrad-ehtp. Because girls are free and nat-uru I In hours of recreation, this spiritof klnahf p, this sense of the oneness ofall gu-Ihood, has a splendid opportunityto develop then, in several dtrterentlines of activity.In the flr-at place, there is a beautiful,

sandy bathing beach. What could giveyou a. better start for the day, than aninvigorating swim in the clear, coldwater, when the sun is just peepingover the ton of Sugarqoaf ? Did youever shar-e such sport with a smilinglittle Japanese girl, who flits thr-oughthe water like a sunbeam? A day ofwater-sports gives you a chance to viewith girls from other colleges in va-rious sorts of boating, dlvjng- andawtrnmtng.Hiking Is one of the chief delights

of Silver Bny. 'j'here are severalmountains of imposing height thacchallenge the enthusiastic. Perhapsthe most popular trip, is the climb UlJSunrise Mountain at three a. m. Whatcould be more fun than to arrive at thetopmost pinnacle and .be greeted byrain.'I'ben there are excursions up the

lake on the big launch, and.a shortdrive across country to Fort Ticon-deroga in a rickety stage. Will any ofus ever forget the ride on the back-board of the one auto bus?The baseball g-ame between the B'ac-

ulty and the Students is a momentousoccasion. Last year, the Faculty pa-raded the field in the most ludicrousfeminine attire, preceded by a .br-asaband of their own concoction, TheStudents, not to be outdone, hove insight as a pirate crew. The playingwas fast and furious. The burly po-liceman, and the Red Cess workerswere rushed with their duties of caringfor the wounded. It would havebrought despair to the heart of BabeRuth to see the dignified Jonat·han Dayalias "DaisY" Day slide for bases.We cannot begin to describe the

Come aud learn about n REAL C~ANCE to ao io'a REAL PLACB

What "It", the Spir-it, Has Meant to Us.

You may think-and rightly to a cer-tain extent-s-that college has donemuch to broaden your interests in boththe world and' in its people. You haveadapted yourself to new surroundings;you have made warm friendships withgirls whom a few months ago younever knew existed; you have cometo love vour college dearly, to think it"the" "College. But have you stoppedhere?Possibly no. but probably yes-c-tha.t

is, unless you have been fortunateenough to go to Silver Bay. The girlwho has been there, has gone muchfarther than this, for she has ex peri-e~ce.d the joys of working, playing,smg mg, and worshipping with hun-dreds of other girls who representmany colleges and all nations. She hasnot become narrowed to her own par-ticular type of college woman, for shehas seen and known the ways of manysplendid college people. She has seenher own college contrasted ~ favor-ably and otherwise-with these others.Not until this time has she been sureof its biggest points, not thought ofremedies for its weaknesses.Most of all has this Silver Bay stu-

dent been inspired by tile vastness of'everything conserntng the Conference.What a real thrill one gets in findingmany hundreds of young people com-ing together in a common interest inand hope for mankind'! What vastideals and hopes the leaders give toeveryone there! Yes, even the atmos-phere lends itself to the inspiration ofthe place: those great hills whose topsare usually hidden in the clouds' thatglorious, sparkling lalce, dotted' withthe most unexpected and surprisinglittle islands; the feeling of nearnessto reality;-all' of these bring out thefinest side of every student who g-oesto Silver Bay.Can one deny that college does, after

these experiences, mean more to her?Have not her eyes and heart beenopened to newer and greater things?Indeed she comes back to find betterthings in her own college, to bringmore to it, and thus to get more out ofit. If she was satisfied with herselfat.Id her surroundings before going,Silver Bay showed her much beyondher present reach, and somethingtoward which she might climb. Shelearned to SUbmerge herself and be oneof many. If she was dissatisfied withherself before eotns. Silver Baybrought out in her the things shethought she had lost. She caught newenthusiasm from everyone. and shelearned the JOYof doing for otherS.We take it for granted that college

students want to apreciate the mean-ing of their education, but we whohave been to Silver Bay know that itis a hard thing to do alone, we are toohuman and we need heln in finding?ur'selves. The most human, yet spir-Jtual and actual help a college studentcan get during her four years can begotten from the inspiration of SilverBay. College means more to the girlswho have learned to i'fonow the gleam"that Silver Bay holds before them.This svirit may be intangible in thatit cannot be describe], but is certain-ly is definite in its results.

SPIRIT OF COOPERATION.We never think of a Silver Bay Con-

ference as so many hundred leadei-sand students gathered together, butrather do we think of it as a unitedwhole so constituted as to bring abouteffectual cooperation, Just as soon aswe realized that we were members 'ofa group of people who were 'lmited inan effort to give and get the best, thenwe were in a position to enjoy' SilverBay to its fullest extent.Connecticut College realized with

appaIling vividness the value of co'-operation. for again and again ourgroup of ten was called ·upon to actrug a delegation. I think it first struckus on the boat when five of us madea very pathetic effort to rival in songthe large dele~ations from Vassa.r, Co-lumbia and Apelpbl.During our ten days at Silver Bay

we felt repeatedly that the success ofthe conference depended 'Upon team,work-team work which was evidentjn the willingness of leaders to give-tohundreds of girls who were united In a'desire to ansot"b the best that Silver,Bay had to offer.All of us were impressed anew with

the thought that cooperation is a thingto be Gultivated on a college campus.Cooperation is one of the few tangiblethings which' fogether with many in·

expressible elements &"0 to make upwhat we so often hear spoken of asthe "Spirit of Sih'er Bay," '23.

SILVER BAY: A WONDER-FUL EXPERIENCE.

Silver Bay was my first experiencuwith an)' kind of a conference. I wentknowing little or nothing about suchthings-and I returned home the ever-lasting champion of Y. W. conferences,and Silver Bay In particular. There isnothing like it, and I want to persuadeyou to spend ten happy days on LakeGeorge.

It did much for me in many ways;principally in that It eave me a senseof relationship to many people. I be-came ONe of the thousands of Americancollege women-s-and I had never trulyhad that feeling before. It was indeeda wonderful feeling- to find myself apart of a whole. All these girls wereinterested in the same things, and upagainst identical problems. It gaveme a sensation of kinshlv in its finestsense--to listen to the discussion ofcollege gh-la about the things that In-terested them, relating to college--self-and the world at large. Theywere things that interested me--theywere my problems as well as theirs.There was such an extraordinary

feeling of mutual interests- a sharingof urobrome and difficulties and vtc-tortes that was altogether new andwonderful to me.

lt makes one have new faith andcourage and enthusiasm 1'01-"the risinggeneration" when it can show wholelyspontaneous and earnest interest inmeeting the real problems of life andcollege-or perhaps I had 'better say in[('(1n,illf} to meet them.I have said nothing of the glorious

life a g-irl at Silver Bay enjoys out-or-doors-1 have not mentioned half atthe many chances that are hers in thisrare place of learning and good times.It would take far longer time--what 1can say is: go yourself and find outwhat you have been missing. I onlywish I could be pel'petually YO'ungandgo every summer.

WHO GOES TO SILVER BAY.AND WHY?

Silver Bay-the vlace where youmeet college students from every statein the Unio'n; yes, and more,-fromthe four corners of the !i:'lobe.One of Lake George's few rainy af-

ternoons sees a winding line of bobbingumbrellas, wending its way along theshore road. The signal is given andone sharer of each umbrella steps intothe vacant place under the umbrellaahead. The chattering party i's quitethoroug;hly acquainted by the time theengaging home of the Penfield familydisentangles itself from among thetrees down by the lake.This gay group gathet's in the large

living· room and above the merry clat-ter of voices you hear-"Seelver Bay-Amarica-frainds" ,Who is this group of persons? I

couldn't spell the names of half. The)~are representatives from twenty·eiightdifferent countries, all talking togetheras though they have always been ne:x,tdoor neighbors. The Chinese girls andthe South American beauties, the Jap-anese and our little Belgian friend,the two sisters from India and theRussian representative, those fromE~gland, France, Italy, Greece, Africa.Starn, and where not. The roll is call-ed and each group answers with a n3-tive song, a little talk, a pantomime ora playlet.

TO THE ADVENTURE·SEEKER.

Do you crave excitement? Doessoul vtbrate to the medieval days,when lite was uncertain and death Ina bed to be despised? Then, my deargirl, you need not go to Mexico to bekntved by brigands. nor yet to Wyo-ming to be devoured by bob-cats, noryet to Bolleswood to encounter thetramp nern. Go to Silver Bay, wherethe spice of danger Is doubly aromaticbecause of Its unexpectedness.For Instance. you may at any mo-

ment be burned to death like Joan ofArc. I am the first to admit that C. C.nre-drttts have not the least sugges-tion of a thrill. (I feel very stronglyon this subject. but I shall suppr-essmy emotions). But it is part of thecharm of Silver Bay that anythinghas a thrill. Midnight-muffled snoutsof men-the smell of smoke-and pitet.-darkness. .we all arose, Betty Halltrampling over Judy In her excitement,and trailed out on the porch. l'hehandsome young near-t-breaker knownas the "Princeton PUppy" was busilyunwtrrdf ng a. fire-hose, and betweengasps he informed us that the powerhouse was on fire. Wl th visions ofall the forest, the cottages, the hotel,and incidentally ourselves returning toashes, we clung to each other watchingthe shadowy forms lost in the smoke.Finally, after an hour's watchful wait-ing, the fire and the excitement dieddown and we went back to bed. Theonly sufferer was Ethel Mason, whomissed breakfast because she couldn'tfind her clothes. Evelene, who wasevidently planning to find a submarinefreight when she jumped into the lake,had, ca.retesaty packed' a n Ethel'sclothes instead of her own.If you live in a tent, there Is always

a chance that thc tent may collapseon your head in the night. This addsa bit of tang to one's sleeping hours.But the greatest adventure of all is

to try to jret. a meal on the wrongshift. At C. C. this Is comparativelytame. like quoits or croquet, but atSilver Bay it is more of a major sport,and requn-ee a great deal ot brains.How to make a blue button look llkea red-that is the Question. AI usedto cover up the button entirely, merelysticking hel' thumb under her collarwith a nonchatent. superior air. Itworked-sometimes. Betty Hall usedto hide behind Judy's skirt; Abbyfound a patch of bleeding-hearts,which when shown qulekly, could passfor a button. But Dottie had the prizemethod. She smiled her sweet smile,and, like the Lorelei of old, charmedthe door-keeper Into n trance un t tt shewas safely thru the portals!So if you would start your vacntton

with a bit or zip, go to Silver Bay_RACHEL SMITH.-----=---=="FOLLOW THE GLEAM."

The Silver Bay song, "Follow theGleam." printed elsewhere in this Issue,embodies fOI' me much of the meaningof Silver Bay. As it was sung by theBryn Mawr girls one dusky "blueevening," it fairly hurt with its beauty.Silver Bay does that-not only withits physical beauty, but its spiritualbeauty, for there is no denying the"spirit of Silver Bay," much as wemay tire of hearing it. The romanceof "Follow the Gleam," is part of it,for ther-e Is romance in the realizationthat we ar-e of a world-sorority of stu-dents, all with the same experiencesand dreams and ideals. And it is atStiver Bay that we actually touch thisgroup. 'But the big things at Silver Bay are

the vtsron and t.he challenge that wefind In this song. They are indefinitewords, but very definite feelings. Atcollege we often are so lost in work,or in theories, or in having a good timethat we are indifferent to any religiousfeelings. In OUI- passion for realismwe become superficial and cannot sec

But secretly we know that we arestill looking vatnly for something deep-er, and at Sliver Bay. If not before,we find that life. has a meaning. Greatmen and women-people of intellectand abllity and faith-help us to seethat our Jives have a purpose and apossibility, and that there Is a Poweroutside of ourselves that gives har-mony and reason to the things we do.And from this realization we feel the

challenge to make the most of ourlives and to fulfill their purpose. Webegin to see life in its relation to col-lege and to the world more objectivelyand more clearly; and the desire tobe worthy and useful Is strengthened.There is no wild emotionalism at

Silver Bay. Things arc prehentedsanely and reasonably. but with a fineappeal that is irresistible. And youcome away feeling that at last youhave found a. gleam to follow.
