.BRYN MAWR ASKED
TO AID CIVILIZATION
Graduating Class Told Of Need
OF Practical IdeaIism by
Or. w. p. Merrill

Practical ideallsm was the underly-
ing theme of the baccalaureate sermon
preached last night to the graduating
class Of Bryn Mawr College by DR..
William Pierson Merrill, pastor Of the
Brick Presbyterian Church, New York.
"One Of the most noticeable char
acteristics Of the age" said Doctor
Merrill, 'is the acute realization Of
the wrongs that exist In society. On all
sides the critic Is at work. The whole
structure Of civilization has been
broken In the shock Of war. I have
never known time when so many good
people were 80 discouraged. IL is our
this"
Seated on the rostum with Doctor
Merrill were Miss Helen Taft, acting
president DR.. George Barton. OF Bryn
Mawr College, and Rufus Jones, of
Haverford.
Word was received last night from
Mrs. +. Louis Slade, of New York city,
national chairman Of the Bryn Mawr
endowment fund, that the total sub :
scriptions received for the day were
S33 200. That brings the amount sub :
scribed to 1888, 600, including the
$500, 900 given by the Rockefeller Foun
dation, which Is contingent upon the
executive committee collecting 81 800, :
600. The drive comes to a close on
Thursday of this week and a whirlwind
campaign is planned to insure its sue
cess.
The quota for the Philadelphia dis
trict has not been nearly subscribed.
As so many of the districts throughout
the country have oversubscribed the
amount apportioned to them every effort
Is being made to havo the "home of
Bryn Mawr" do it's full share.

AMERICAN LEGION DRIVE FOR MEMBERS
Executive Committee to
 Complete Plans for Cam paign at Meeting Today

At a meeting of the executive com of the American Legion today, plans for a far-reaching membership drive in the city will be made. This drive will be in company with others made all over the country, for May IT. 22 has been proclaimed as membership week by the national commander, Franklin D'Olier. The commander re- quested that every effort be made dur ing the week on the part of the local posts to reach every ex-service man and explain to him what the legion is and what it stands for.
 Birmingham Post No. l has at pres ent about 1,500 members. It is esti mated by officers of the post that this Is about one-half the eligibles in the district, and in the drive they plan to reach the remaining 1,500 and try to get them to join.
 Post Commander Crampton Harr.s has called a meeting of the legion to- night in the rooms of the Civic Asso- citation, a which time. the plans for membership week will be discussed. Several other important matters will come before the legion, particularly
 
 Washington to appear before the ways and means committee' of the House of Representatives in the interest of the soldiers bonus.
 Another matter taken up will be the plan of having an American Legion Day" in the Salvation Army's home service appeal. Members of the legion on this day will have charge of the soliciting of funds in the downtown districts.
 Plans for a statewide membership drive have been made by the state comma nder Matt II. Murphy Through out the state posts have been asked to get out after the ex-soldiers who have not yet become members It is expected that Alabama. through her perfect network of local posts will make a very creditable showing in the national race.
