First, it is felt that the present group system is unsatisfactory in that there ap- pears to be no thoroughly consistent prin- ciple on which it is possible to base groups; and in that existing system of Majors gives the student knowledge, not of a msihiiorl not of a method, but rather of course! which are divided into and which lack the continuity and correla- fion that more advanced work should de- mand of its students. Secondly, it is felt that required. work should be cut to a minimum. Knowledge in certain subjects should be demanded of everyone, but the present number of hours devoted-to_required_courses is too great. Thirdly, there is’ a desire for greater elasticity in the existing schedule, and in the arrangement of hours for individuals’ work. Too often is a student forced, be- cause of some mechanical. reason, away from the subjects in which she: is inter- ested; into a course used to fill in. Comprghensive to Test Major Work v A: Since-the-present-group.system doesnot seem to satisfy the aim of major work, that is; the mastery, within certain lim- its, of some field of knowledge, giving the student habits of reflection and in- dependent thinking, we suggest the fol- lowing plan as a possible remedy : 1. A choice of one Major (covering twenty (20) hours’ or two (2) years’ 8 work in one subject) with which is to be correlated a minimum. of twenty (20) hours’ work in subjects advised by, the head of the depart- ment in which the student has elected -her major_work.. The advice of the semester pieces, | head of -the department should: take into account the student’s individual ability and interests’ as they bear on her elected Major. The first year of the Mapor. work (corresponding to the present Minor) shdtuld be covered more by the lecture system than the last, which should be spent in individ- ual and independent work with group discussions ‘taking the place’6f more fermal class-room work. In this last year should come,.the organization of material in pfeparation for the final comprehensive examination to “be given at the completion of the #4 oenior year, and covering the field of the student’s Major and correlated work.. This examination should be set by a committee formed from the different departments, and should be the only examination taken by the student at the end of her Senior year. If a student should so plan her work as.to be taking uncorrelated elective courses ‘in her ~Senior year, she should not be required to take a final examination in those elective subjects. 1. The committee feels that Compre- hensives for all students are more ‘advisable tha na system of honors because Comprehensives would ini- tiate for the college a new system of sttidy, which would necessitate from al students learning of a subject rath-_ er than. of courses; whereas an-hon- ors system would touch only a mi- nority of students, and leave . the bulk of the college. unfamiliar with this synthesizing type of work which is now. felt to be lacking. There would still he ample opportunity for the exceptional person to excel. The The poorer student would gain much under this system, through @ reports and work during the semes- ter; and even though she fell down somewhat in the Comprehensive, she CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 FRESHMAN SHOW TAKES AUDIENCE. T0 “NEW FRANCE” By Limiting Scope Comes Near Perfection—Color ' Scheme Skillful and Delicate : WIGGIN T. HAS PURE CHARM. (Specially contributed by D. Meserve, ’23) Freshman are quite the most transient affairs in. the world. “One is created, for a short night we-see the-color of it and hear the music and then it van- ishes forever, like a city in the clouds which the wind blows away.: We may search the theatres of Europe and Asia, but it is prac- tically certain that we will never come shows across that particular Freshman show again. This is the very law of Freshman shows, a gracious law in general, but last Saturday most unkind. The Class of 1926 has given us some- thing which in its finish and charm came delightfully near perfection. They did not attempt to do too much, or to do what they did’ do, for too long a time, which was wise in them. The moment the curtains parted on that scene in the Café des En- fants, fulfilling the promise but lately made in the curtain-song—“‘We Will Bririg You New France,” the note of the show was struck. -It ‘was one of skill and delicacy and a happy art which does not overdo. To be more concrete in this deserved © praise, the first thing which was evident was the clever scenery. So well done as to appear simple. Simultaneous with an appreciation of the setting came an intense pleasure at the color scheme, which was rendered possible by the master hand, prob- ably hands, who conceived of and grouped the costimes. If the show had néver at- tempted anything more ‘than the. first sixty seconds, and if those actors and the ones who were. to come had done no more than wander dumb across the stage for the re- mainder of the evening, the pageantry of it would still have been sufficient charm.

Frijlinck, the Dutch grad- uate. student who is studying here under Dr. Chew and Dr. Brown, has edited from the manuscript and written an introduction and notes to the Tragedy of Sir John van Olden. Barnavelt; an anonymous Eliza- bethan play which has been judged. by : students both here and abroad as a work of great scholarship and distinction. Various papers have reviewed Miss Frij- linck’s work favorably. The Literary Supplement of the London said in a review of Miss Frijlinck’s work that it is .“an exhaustive study of the play, sources, authorship, characters, “tnd- place—in—dra- matic history and all else that anyone could possibly want’ to know.” It further says that Miss Frijlinck had “special advantages for the study of. the documents of this] . episode of Danish history, and_.a-good equipment of knowledge of our Elizabethan drama.” “It is appropriate that we should have to thank a Dutch student for a detailed and trustworthy edition,” says the Spec: tator of January 6, 1923. editor’s greatest services,” adds the Spec- tator, “that she has deciphered for us the numerous passages of the play which were altered or. obliterated at the command of the Master of Revels.” . The Literary Review of the New York Evening Post for February 24, 1923, says that Miss Frijlinck’s “knowledge of Dutch sources has enabled her to identify the ‘materials employed by the author, and het protracted study at the British Museum has resulted in what will doubtless long be ac- cepted as the most authoritative statement of ‘the circumstances of the play’s pro- duction and the scene-by-scene partition of its authorship.” Dr. Chew, of Bryn Mawr, in the March issue of Modern Language. Notes, writes. “Miss Frijlinck’s study -of- the aesthetic value of the play and of its historical value are exhaustive and admirable. It is in the latter section that she most shows the ad- vantage that she possesses of being a Dutch woman. The whole subject is more clearly before her mind than would be possible in the. case of a foreigner and she. is better able to judge the achievements of the Eng- - lish drama.” . “Her. notes are sisters: aoa and reticent—occasionally perhaps, too reticent _” A new horior has come to Miss Frij-]° linck’s book. ‘$he English Association of which Edmond Gosse is president, has “asked Miss Frijlinck to send them a copy * of her book, that they may review it in the book they are shortly to bring out:, “Year's Work in English Studies 1922-23.

As for the fact that the Comprehensive Examin- ation may be a mechanical vise _ super-imposed upon a system already too mechanical, the committee~feels-} that the type o fwork that will be necessary to pass such an examina- tion will tend to do ‘away with’ the mechanigs of quizzes and finals; and since, after all, requires a knowledge of a subject rather than of a course, it is valuable ~~ and should be:tried. Work to Be Changed A. We. suggest the following required sub- jects: . ‘1- Two (2)-years of English—20 hours. 1. One (1) year of Science, except for . 9 those majoring in Science—10 hour® given in Minor—10 hours. 4. One (1) year of Philosophy and Psychology—10 ‘hours. This would make a total of fifty (50) hours of required. work.._Were it possible to condense material. given in required courses into fewer hour requirements, thereby xgiving more hours ‘out. of- thé total_one hundred and twenty (120) free for Electives, Majors, and Correlating Subjects, the’ committee would urge it. In In suggesting the required work the “committeeis guided by the opinion that there are certain subjects about which every college graduate, regard- less of her Mapor work, should have at least’a cursory knowledge. This required work. should be completed preferably by the end of Sophomore year, and necessarily by the end of Junior. This extra year should be given to.those who wish to plan their ® courses so as to be able to do post- major work, which, in many cases in the existing arrangement, cannot be taken until the completion of the Major. There should be absolutely no required work done in the Senior year. B. We suggest the following changes in the reguired work as now given: ~ 1.\ English. (a) General Considerations. (i) The present system of al- ternating semesters of Compo- sition and Literature seems to us to be the best plan; for a combination of the two, into a a three hour and a two hour course, would mean, it seemed] to the committee, a diffusion of attention which would result in the loss of the best that is now gained from the courses as they are separated. (it) There is in college a wide difference of opinion as to the two year ‘requirement. in English. Some feel, particularly those majoring in science, that a two year course is tog much, and they want but one year of: required English. The commit-' tee feels that the value of the English course lies, on the one hand, in its first-hand acquaint- ance with English literature,’ which we, as English-speaking’ people, should have as a back-. ground, and, o nthe other hand, “in its giving the ability to or-| ganize. material and to appreci- . ate good _ writing. “Training in this cannot be too thorough, and sian: Seteaeemameneaann tader ieee ‘ the Comprehensive | 3. One (1) year of History as it is now |, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 e therefore we suggest . keeping the two-year requirement with * the following changes: Literature Course.. We suggest: (1) -A change of emphasis in . , the material given, spending less # time on the literature up to Chaucer, and ‘less time on Shakespeare, especially on the plays made familiar at school. In this way it would be pos- sible to bring the course up to ffirly modern authors and works, : (ii) Doing away with the many weekly quizzes, and sub- stituting for them more reports, chosen by the student from topics suggested by the reading. (iii) Reducing the number of lectures to three hours 4 week. If there are but three hours of lecture a week, one of the two free -hours would be de- _.yoted ot ‘small, group discus- sions with the professor. _ (iv)—An— advanced standing examination should be offered in the literature course for those who,. by virtue of good school training or wide experi- ence, would be able to pass it. The examination in this case should ,be inclusive of all the reading, -and- the candidate should be required to sign a reading list. (b) Composition Course. We suggest: (1). Doing away with the final examination and requiring in- stead another long paper. We feel that a final long paper, in which the principles of writing gained from the course are demonstrated, would show bet- ter than, a hastily written ex- amination what a student has gained from the cotrse. “We We feel that here is one in- stance-.in which we .may_bene- ficially do away with the me- chanics of an examination. (d) Diction. We suggest a change in the organization of the Dic- tion ‘course, now on too indefin- able a basis, so that it may be put on a par with other subjects required for a degree. We suggest : (i) A general lecture in the beginning, explaining the princi- ples and use of “Exercises in Articulation.” : (ii) Smaller and more regu-% lar classes where there would be more individual attention, ‘and where the element of prac- tice would show more clearly, so_ that there would be a more tangible basis for marking. (b) ?? . 2. Seinence. (a). We suggest that those students majoring in. Science be allowed to substitute for the required Science five (5) hours of post® major work in their Science. We also suggest that those stu- dents majoring in a_ science other than that on which. they entered, be required to take five hours of post-major work in that major science. History to Supplant Latin 3..History. This cottrse should consist | of the present Minor History survey course. - (a) We wish History, required “ cause: -(4) Minor History covers ‘material which is of the utmost value as a background for all other studies, arid which should | _be part of the: — of} every college graduate.

Both dancers were exceptionally graceful and moved as one person through the difficult steps, meriting the loud applause and their encore. Helen Brown, as Fifi Fauxpas, was entirely cap-. tivating, to the audience and to one Wiggin T. Quingue, the part taken by. Winnifred Dodd. Wiggin was perhaps the most lova- ble character in the whole cast, and pos- sessed of “the greatest amount of that in- definable and overworked quality, ‘pure charm. From the moment when he sat at the table in his light blue smock and’ began to you,” to Marietta Bilter’s delightful ac- companiment on the harp, the-spell was cast. ° The “light blue smock”—on that hangs a tale. Perhaps we are too much bound by the precedent of symbolization, but could there be a hidden meaning in the preser- vation of 1924 in a scarlet gown, and 1925: in the above light blue smock? Or is it the mere whim of the designer which aflows of no such flagrant error as the meaningful distribution of color? Vers Libre Poet and Rosie Praised Barbara Sindall as the Vers Libre poet who “knew a lot about the art of attracting women,” was convincing’ in her animated composition of lines like “my soul turns to wall paper and dances like moth-eaten whiskey bottles,” and in her tender praise of Fifi, “my goldfish is a lot like you,” the three bookmen were exceptionally good. In horror we heed their warning to “look at us three and do not be, a dusty, musty, ‘greasy grind.” “Rosie the concierge, with her energy, knitted socks grumbling like genuine French, was a truly ss esscyer spot in the evening. which any averagely nasty-tempered critic sould be bitter.

La wv OUR CURRICULUM -“As we-read the Curriculum Committee’s report we understand why it took two-hour sessions daily for a month to draw it up. Every paragraph shows the long thought and argument that went into it. It is im- portant not only .to understand this, but to remember it, for only by taking the committee’s deliberations into account can there be profit in further criticism: The further critics will be divided into two camps,—those who regard the whole plan as too radical and too indefinite, and those who accept the theory of the change, objecting only to details of its working out. It is upon the first group that the success of the proposal largely depends, because if very many students cling. to an inflexible schedule, compartmented courses, and regu- lar quizzes as their only hope of security, they will prevent an unmechanized systein from working. They will lack the essential We will hope earnestly that most will belong to the other school, however, and that their criticisms, offered in—-the—spiritof the report, will make it as nearly representative and as nearly. workable as possible. Silence, in this case, is a very poor sort of assent, being too ominously like indif- ference. But vocal fulminations drift into air. Written support and written criticism will make or mar the chances of the cur- oJ riculum report. ‘ “HAMLET, REMEMBER ME” Bates House has two immediate needs. The first, on- which our attention has re- cently focussed, is a thousand dollars ; the second is the need for workers, for Bryn} Mawr students who are willing to devote a part of the summer vacation to the care of the children themselves. The thousand dollars has been secured, but it will be useless unless students volunteer to carry out the work. Thé younger children need careful attention, the older ones careful supervision. The undergraduates who de- cided to work at Bates can sign, on a chart which will be posted “after Easter ‘vacation, | the time: ‘at which they want to} g0, and they can arrange it so that they will be able to: work with children at the age which they prefer. plans are discussed, it might be well to save a. fortnight, or a " week, or even a s , mole of days, ‘for Bates. ” a 3 Dorothy Wyckoff, 21, wn, Sliobeabl | ot Mention for her poem- Sa git noe eee So, when summer | CURRICULUM COMMITTEE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 (b) Since General History will ‘be — present Minor course, we sug- » gest requiring ten (10) hours of ; posf-major work of all students majoring. in History. would put History on a_ par with other three-year Majors.” 4.

If a stu- dent took advantage of this permission, it would mean her taking fourteen hours each sem- ester for one year, and sixteen hours each for the next year.

HIGHEST HUMAN MOTIVE Dr. Fitch Preaches Before Large * Audience on Purpose in Life The necessity of an end in life was the subject of the sermon. preached by Dr. Albert Parker’Fitch, of Amherst College, to a large congregation in our Chapel last]: ‘Sunday night. -We no longer think of evil’ as dan active opposing force, as did the Manichaeans and. St. Augustine, said Dr. Fitch,—a force such as the Satan of “Paradise Lost” or of the Prologue to the Book of Job. The evil of today is generally covered with schti- mentality by girls, with sophistry, by boys. The sneer of Satan about Job, a half truth, as all sneers that hurt’ must be, includes the accusations of abuse of power and of: ’ self-interest. Abuse -of power is often shown by college students, coming ostensi- bly to improve their minds, reglly their social positions. Self interest is the funda- mental motive power of everyone, but sometimes. itis sublime,-as it-was in .the case of Scott, in whom, the “gentleman sur- and who wrote -novel after novel to pay debts he was not legally obliged to pay. At this kind of self-interest no one sneers, “One great thifg that drives folk into re- ligion is that there they get a comprehensive end towards which to live. English youth, brought up in the frame- work of ideas called British Imperial'sm, to live for the country, is in contrast to Americans, who have no end*at al. But the end of all lives in the world is living towards the Eternal Self. “Here is the finds the best. in oneself when living towards this end. The companionship which this brings is incomparable, even beyond that of the consummate human relation, that of husband and wife. Any kind of partnership, however, ‘con- tinued. Dr. Fitch, brings power. On camp- ing trips. the presence of others doing the same things causes an unbelievable amount of work to be done; conscientious objectors who had to “go against the current” were enabled to do so by: the help of others like them, but still more by the companionship of God, while they were, to the eternal shame of our country, thrust into prison. The three men in the Old Testament story who, refusing to worship the King’s golden god, were saved from the fiery furnace by “one like. a son of the gods,” showed the multiplication of power through association hoth. of themselves and their God. v2 Happiness is also an immediate result of an end in life. As Dr. Fitch poirits out, the Catholic nuns in the convent where he spent the summer, were genuinely happy. They were not self-conscious, as are all American women and men. They were happy because they had an end, a chosen way of life, and companionship. Serving . God we may find ourselves in Him.

(This plan of not having so many quizzes does not apply to Mathematics and Sciences. In those subjects, owing to the im- possibility of reports, we suggest that’ quizzes be as frequent as they are now.) ‘Reports are felt to be the most interesting and valuable way of doing work,'and at least one semester. report should be required in every course whose nature permits it.
