BAN ON SHORT SKIRTS,
ALSO ON THIN WAISTS
OUT AT SWARTHMORE
Mothers of Co-eds Officially Ad-
vised of Censorship on Clothes
in Interest of simplicity
and Modesty"
"V" NECKS ALL RIGHT

Fashions have struck snag at swarth

This became known today when mothers
of girl students received letters from DR..
Emma G. Bancroft chairman of the
Household Committee Of the board of man.
agers at that institution, telling them just
what's what for next year
From the letter one gathers that the
skirts more than the waists, have given
rise to this unprecedented collegiate action,
one which, in effect amounts TO clothes
censorship. AS Doctor Bancroft points out,
the up-tO-date Dutch or V.necks have
nothing Objectionable about them, but the
skirt extremes will not be broolSed at all.
Thin waists, however, (which show the
figure underneath" are banned.
The tone of the letter is suggestive rather
than mandatory.
Doctor Bancroft leaves it to the good
sense of the mothers to take the hint she
lays down no rules, but there Is no mis-.
taking her meaning. Addressing each let.
ter Individually to the mother of the coed,
she says:
simplicity and modesty in the dress of
its women has been tradition AT Swarth.
more, and 1t is the very earnest desire Of
the authorities of the college that this ira
diton should in no way be affected by the
trend of modern society. The women stu.
dents and their mothers are requested to
cooperate with the college in upholding
and preserving this standard.
I'VE hope the mothers of our girls will
see with us that low corsaGe, very thin
waist which shows the figure underneath
and extremes in length of skirt, either short
or long. are unsuitable for college women.
1--WE strongly urge that no such clothing
be prepared for anotheE year but that II
conform to the strength and dignity of
women and all garments which do not con-
form to the above standard be altered or
left at home.
- modern Dutch or V neck Is not OBJ
jectiOnabe, but we desire our girls to be
an example OF modesty ard right living to
the world EMMA G. BANCROFT"
Dean w A. Alexander Of Swarthmore
today said he could throw no light on tho
action; it was entirely in the hands of the
women officers of the college. But he did
illuminate that paragraph in the letter
which makes it appear that the censorship
is only for the l9l6-l917 year by saying that
it Is meant for all coming years. Good sense
rather than fashion will dictate styles at
