Which made possible the tra- ditional long kiss sunset ending. Had Shaw been around at that time his play would have been different. He would have pointed out that the Greeks were fond of their garlic. And he might have stressed the fact that Pygmalion always took enough to bring anything to life, even tougher marble than was used in Galatea. He would undoubtedly have had an epi- logue ee that. the whole thing was a tragedy because love leads to marriage and marriage is, at best, a sorry affair. Shaw wasn’t around, however. And his knowledge runs more to the ab- stract of language than the concrete of,statues. Still there’s no doubt about the brilliance of his dialogue. Or is there much discussion as to his skill in dramatic construction. But when it comes to philosophy, there’s a different story. Shaw’s blasé pessimism is hot enough even to with- er the unwitherable pessimism of a Bryn Mawr senior. His superiority approaches that of a Bryn Mawr “Magna.” And his boredom with the commonplaces of life is within hailing distance of a Bryn Mawr graduate student’s. Such pessimism, such su- periority, and such boredom have their places both on the Main Line and the stage. Certainly Pygmalion deserves (Continued on Page Four) J. Cartier Will Give Performance Here Bryn Mawr is promised an unusual treat in the dance recital to be pre- sented by Jacques Cartier on Thurs- day evening in Goodhart Hall. Lauded by critics all over the world as a “brilliant young dancer” and as the American Nijinsky, he comes here with a reputation for remarkable skill. It is the first time that a man dancer has ever appeared at Bryn Mawr, and his versatility and strong masculinity should attract a large audience. In spite of his French name, Mr. Cartier is an American, as he proves by his interest in American Indian dances. He has lived and studied in strange nations everywhere so that he brings first-hand information to his dances of Spain, Italy, Japan, and of the Hopi Indian country. Aside from his fame as a concert dancer, he has scored great successes in Zieg- feld’s “Follies” and in “Golden Dawn.” He is known chiefly for his “strong, hard dance” and his strikingly orig- inal effects, but he is also considered a mature and careful artist. His sav- age dancing, particularly, is said to be a “revelation of fierce abandon and impressive dignity,” ‘‘as perfect a piece of the dance-art as will ever be found.” The program will begin with a.ser- ~ “4és Of four Spanish dances, for which Mr. Cartier is excellently fitted.

In addition to his work at Bryn Mawr next year, he is to give a joint semi- nary at the University of Pennsylva- nia for Pennsylvania and Bryn Mawr graduate students. Dr. Gilman will return from Paris, where she is spend- ing the present semester of her sab- batical year. Those members of the Faculty who will be away next year are Dr. Lily Ross Taylor, Head of the Department of Latin; Miss Marti, who is return- ing to her home in Switzerland; Dr. Anna Pell-Wheeler, of the Depart- ment of Mathematics, and Dr. Ilse Forest, of the Department of Educa- tion. Dr. Taylor has been appointed acting professor in charge of the School of Classical Studies in the American Academy at Rome. Her place will be taken by Dr. Louise Adams Holland, who was Assistant- Professor of Latin at Smith, with leave of absence to be Fellow at the American Academy in Rome, and was later Assistant-Professor of Latin at Vassar. Dr. Holland has lectured at Bryn Mawr.. Mis&S Agnes Kirsopp Lake, a former Fellow at the Ameri- can Academy in Rome, who is to take her Doctor’s degree at Bryn Mawr this year, will be instructor in Latin in Miss Marti’s place next year. She will give a course in Rapid Reading instead of the Mediaeval Latin course given this year.

In this way, the whole cast was used, as it was in the Middle Ages, to provide a conventionalized setting and background for the actors who were on the stage at any given mo- ment, and the effect of all the cos- tumes was used all the time to set the tone of the play. In other words, throughout the play the audience was continually kept conscious of the pres- ence of the devil and of his emissary, clothed in ghastly green and fiery red, of the presence of the Church in its royal purple robes, and of the pres- ence of Notre Dame in conventional blue, because they all stood in the background on the cloister walls as though in a painting, until the moment when they stepped quietly out of the painting and entered the action of the play. There was a reposeful lack of modern suspense in the knowledge that just these people and no others would eventually enter the play, but, despite this knowledge, there was a great deal of dramatic suspense as to exactly how and when they would be brought in and as to just what words they would use when they got there. We found that the return to the sim- ple conventions of the mediaeval the- atre, which are almost exactly the op- posite of modern ‘theatrical conven- tions, was not at all boring and had a surprising amount of dramatic inter- est and suspense. The acting-was excellently done by the entire cast.

Her emotional rever- ence in the scene in which she begged Notre Dame to intercede with the devil for the return of her soul, brought a high emotional pitch to the entire play.

Detailed information about each following question: “Does each course (a) involve — memory work, originality, brg@ad trends, small de- tails, too much reading; (b) cover the material announced; (c) discourage further study in subject?” The differences in the minor, major, and advanced work in each depart- ment are clearly indicated. For ex- ample, in some departments the minor course is so good that students are en- couraged to take major and advanced courses which prove discouraging be- cause they involve too much memory for detail. In other departments the minor courses are so poor that they discourage the student from further work in that department, although the major and advanced courses appear to balance memory work with original- ity, and trends with details. This first section will contain an analysis ofthe required and popular minor and elective courses given in a Dance at Deanery Gains New Charm from Setting On Saturday, we attended the most delightful College function of our ca- reer at Bryn Mawr: the dance in the Deanery. Until then, we had never realized what. a tremendous addition a little of the atmosphere of a home would be to a college dance nor how much more easily we could display our social charm in a comfortable drawing room than in the bare and draughty spaces of the gymnasium. We are distinctly grateful not only to Miss Thomas for* giving her house to the Alumnae, but to Mrs. Chad- wick-Collins, the Chairman of the Deanery entertainment committee, and to Betty Perry, ’35, for organiz- ing such a successful dance in a new place. Those of us who have known the Deanery only this year, felt that we were treading on historic ground. The spirit of a charming and distinguish- ed hostess and her many distinguish- ed guests seemed to fill the house and made us feel greatly privileged to be there. -It gave greater charm to our fellow-guests, who looked better and all seemed to enjoy themselves more than at any previous dance. In many ways, the Deanery is an ideal place for a party. It provides a comfortable and dignified setting for the chaperones, who, at the gym- nasium, are always being blown and pushed. around. There are pleasant, quiet places to sit, for those who do not wish to dance incessantly. Tokens of Miss Thomas’ many and varied in- terests were extraordinarily conducive to ‘conversation, which the very good? music was not loud enough to drown. Although we realize that perhaps the Deanery would be somewhat too small for the big Christmas and Spring dances, we sincerely hope that the Alumnae who were staying there were not too much disturbed by our dance to lend us their house for an- = college. Freshman English -is_ over- whelmingly original, stresses trends over details, but discourages 1/5 of the students, and is thought by 1/5 not to cover the material announced. Sophomore English stresses memory slightly over originality, balances de- tails and trends, discourages 1/4 of : the students, covers the material, and is thought by 1/2 to involve too much reading. . All the required sciences discourage a_large proportion of the students, stress memory work and details, but cover the material. Physics requires 8 times as much memory as original- ity, and discourages 3/5. Biology in- volves 6 times as much memory as originality, 3 times as many details as trends, and discourages only 1/5. : ‘ tChemistr i course was given us in answer to the fC emistry needs 8 times as much memory as originality, contains 8 times as many details as trends, and distourages 1/3 of the students taking it. Geology requires 11 times as much memory as originality, covers 2 1/2 times as many details as trends, and discourages 1/4. Required Philosophy gives oppoy tunity for 5 times as much original- ity as memory work, deals with 3 times more trends than details, dis- courages 2/5, and is thought by only 1/10 ‘to ‘contain too much reading. First Year Latin Literature requires 9 times as much memory as _original- ity, contains 2 times as many details as trends, discourages more than 1/38, is thought by 1/4 to involve too much reading, but covers the material _com- pletely. Everybody thinks that Elementary German is completely a detailed mem- ory course, 1/8-of the students think it contains too much reading, 3/4 say it covers material, and only 1/3 are discouraged. Similarly, everybody thinks German Reading involves all detailed memory work, 1/12 think it has too much reading, the same pro- portion are discouraged, and 1/2 only think the course covers the material. First Year French requires twice as much memory as originality, bal- ances details to trends in the ratio of 6 to 5, is thought by 1/2 of the students taking it to contain too much reading, and discourages 3/7 from further study. Minor History de- mands 12 times as much ability for memory work as for originality, strikes a nice balance between details and trends, and is thought to cover the material by 2/3 of the students answering the questionnaire; and, al- though 1/2 of the students believe that it has too much reading, it discour- ages only 1/10. Minor Economics re- quires 3 times as much memory as originality, places equal emphasis on trends and details, but is considered by 1/2 to require too much reading, and discourages 1/3. Minor Politics demands 4 times as much memory as originality, covers more trends than details, completely covers the mate- rial, discourages only 1/10 of the stu- dents, and is thought by no one to contain too much reading.

It seems a definitely deplorable state of affairs, that fifty out of one hundred and eight courses have discouraged nt to one hundred percent of the students from further study in their sub- ject. We stand ready to admit that it is impossible to please everybody ; but since courses providing either an opportunity for more originality than memory work, or preserving an equal balance between memory ~ work and originality, have on the whole discouraged no one, while courses stressing memory and small details have generally discouraged a large proportion of the students, it may be. concluded that the stu- dents have some system in their discouragement. It is significant in this light that the popular electives are almost all courses which require original work, showing that the students tend to turn with relief from the large amount of memory which is inflicted upon them to some course that will give an outlet to their smothered originality. We wish also to point out the unfairness of the emphasis on detail and memory work in all the Required Sciences. Except for First Year Latin, all of the other required courses tend to preserve an even balance in their characteristics: Required Philosophy gives a great opportun- ity for and training in original thinking, but also requires memory and nicely balances details with trends; Sophomore English is remark- ably distinguished, in comparison with the courses as a whole, by the just care with which it steers a middle course among all of the possible extremes. But it beconies apparent that the basis for the opposition to the Science Requirement is not our objection to any form of\ discipli- nary training, but our reluctance to embark on-a course which is so specialized as to be extremely difficult for anyone without a talent for memorizing small details. Since the English Required Courses are so balanced and arranged that they can be passed by anyone who isither original or who can memorize details, it seems unfair that the Required Sciences should emphasize details to such an extent that anyone who is original and cannot memorize details is unable to pass them. We further wish to suggest that the minor course in each depart- ment should be an indication of the character of the work in the whole department. In many instances this is already the case: Minor His- tory is an exact indication of the kind of course that is to be expected from the entire History Department, and any student who likes the Minor course may be sure of finding its characteristics repeated in the Major courses. However, in some departments, such as in Archaeol- ogy, the Minor course gives an opportunity for original work, does not emphasize small details, and is liked by all the students, while the Major courses appear to demand little originality, mainly memory for small details, and discourage many who were encouraged by the Minor course to take more Archaeology. In the Economics Department, the reverse is true: the Minor course is apparently discouraging, has too much reading, and requires too much memory work, while the Major course is one of the best balanced and most satisfactory courses in college. We feel that the various departments should endeavor to give in their First Year courses a sample of the kind of work they will expect from their major students, so that no one may. suddenly discover herself having to do exactly the sort of Major work for which she is least} fitted and which she had not been led to expect by the First Year course. In the Advanced work there should be a wide choice of courses emphasizing either memory or originality, trends or details, so that the student may do the sort of specialized work for’which she is best equipped. Under the proper guidance of the department she can accomplish an equal amount in doing either original work or in acquir- | ing a great deal of information, in working on trends or in doing de- tailed study.. A ETT AMET RAS RETESET me ee Set Ne SR eee The Play’s the Thing Those of us who have just seen the spring play, supposedly the culmination of the Varsity Players’ efforts for the year, are. confused about the fundamental relation of our college dramatic organization to the college as a whole. The plays that Bryn Mawr presents are, for most outsiders, the only evidences of undergraduate activity ; and even for us they have much more interest than all of the organizations that retire to the lower hockey field for practice, or shut themselves in council in the confines of Goodhart. These others have their part in the college, and work efficiently and regularly; but Varsity Dramatics appeals to many more of us for the opportunities it offers for experi- WIT?S END| This is “Be Kind To Animals Week.” We want to make the appeal more specific.

Spitfire, Katharine Hepburn’s new starring film, opens then, and we are sure that all Bryn are great occasions which we support. by our own attendance and by the enforced attendance of our families and friends. There is nothing that pleases either them or us so much as our showing off our handiwork. Those of us who saw Pygmalion last™week-end represent a chosen few, and those of us who have recovered from that great Shavian venture feel that in no way did it represent either the choice or the talent of Bryn Mawr. We do not feel competent to criticize the actual production; but so far as we are concerned as undergraduates, the play was a failure. We saw only four undergraduates on the stage, and three of these had minor parts. It was a star play, with important male roles done by players not only alien to Bryn Mawr, but uncon- nected with any college dramatic organization. Varsity Dramatics was never designed as an organization to spon- sor professional or semi-professional productions. Dramatics are ex- tracurricular, and we have a dramatic organization to give as many of us as possible a chance to disport on Goodhart stage. As it is, we find that the Varsity Players are apparently not interested in doing a play that will let us display the slight finish we may. have achieved after Varsity plays. Apparently the students of the college are not good enough to work in the productions of the college dramatic association. It is a further outrage that the four undergraduates. in the play had to be supported by six players who are not undergraduates at all. If Varsity Players is to receive undergraduate support, it must change its policies. We do not mean to say that we are planning a deliberate boycott, but it is a fact that we have lost interest in college dramatics this year and that, in the midst of our Shavian despondency, we are looking forward indifferently to the future. The Varsity Players n reorganization to give us what we, as undergraduates, want. Aspiring actresses all, we ask for a chance to act, even if we are not very good. We are enthusiastic and optimistic enough to believe that when we are given an opportunity to work for Varsity Dramatics, that organization will find some good actresses among ‘Us, and will be better woppected. next year. ence in acting and-in- working backstage. Furthermore, Varsity plays ances trends with details, discourages no one, absolutely covers the material, and is not considered to have too much reading. First Year Greek ex- acts 8 times as much memory as origi- nal work, deals with twice as many Petails as trends, covers the material, has not too much reading, but dis- courages almost 1/2 of the students. ’ It is interesting to notice that al- most all the popular Electives elimi- nate the necessity of doing memory work and give the students a chance to use their suppressed originality. Playwriting is completely based on originality and needs no memory, has no details, covers the material, suc- ceeds in discouraging no one, but is thought by 1/5 of the students to have too much reading. Modern French Tendencies needs twice as much originality as memory, deals completely with trends, and covers the material, but 5/6 of the students think it has too much reading and 1/6 are discouraged.

In the autumn, runners are sent from the Hopi villages to northern Mexico to procure the mescal peyotes nec- essary for the ceremony, and on their return, the Rite begins. The Medicine-Maker and the Sun Priest gather in the Kiva, where to the beat of the tombe and chant of the Mesca] Peyote, they perform an elaborate cere- mony of taking the vision-con- juring peyotes, which is fol- lowed by the rising of visions, and the spontaneous, ecstatic dance, after which the dancer sinks into his blanket, to a medicine sleep of ghost-ances- tor dreams.

Pygmalion Reviewed by Dramatic Critic Continued from Page One the rank it has: attained, as one of our great modern plays. Still, I can’t help wishing Shaw was a little less the critic and a little more the photogra- pher. The best plays are written by playwrights whose main’ intent is playwriting. The performance given by the Var- sity players was smoothly competent. William B. Cowen paced his company with a nice understanding of effort. And, for-the most part, there was no obvious self-consciousness. Honora Bruére, who played Eliza Doolittle, has a definite magnetism. Where she should dominate she does. Her handling of the “cockney” dialect was none too easy for her, but she gained sureness with education. Only in the few highly dramatic moments of the play was the role of. Eliza above Miss Bruére’s head. When these climaxes came she- attemptéd to cir- cumvent them, rather than meeting them face to face. Elizabeth Meade as prim Mrs. Pierce, housekeeper of Higgins, gave the most competent performance of the evening. Her acting was poised, and unhurried.. Her only fault lay in the improper use of her hands. Mar- garet Kidder made Miss EVnsford- Hill determinedly unsure: of herself. Agnes K. Lake, as Mrs. Eynsford-Hill, gave the impression of having been born to: flutter. Magdalen Hupfel Flexner -made Mrs. Higgins a self- confident and quite charming matron. Elizabeth Washburn was an éfficient maid, Janet Barber’s scenic effects were remarkably good. pany ‘could’ ask for better - property support than was supplied on Friday and Saturday nights. From curtain to curtain Pygmalion held the interest of the audience. The sophisticated cynicism of the. script was handled with scarcely a fumble by the well-drilled cast.

History of Art All of the Major and Advanced His- tory of Art courses listed in the ques- tionnaire are~characterized~ as ~invol- ‘ving mainly memory, stressing trends, covering the materia] well without de- manding too much reading and being very encouraging. The only differ- ences in analysis lie in the differing proportions: Medieval Art requires no originality, and does not stress de- tails at all; Philosophy of Art also requires no originality, but balances the emphasis on trends and details; History of Prints (elective) requires twice as much capacity for memory work as originality, and stresses trends 4 times_as much as it does de- tails. & Italian First Year Italian demands 4 times as much memory as originality, places its emphasis entirely on details, does not require too much reading, covers the material, and discourages only 1/4 ae vee | of the students taking it.

Latin Save for Latin Prose, no one found any of the Major or Advanced Latin courses discouraging, and the empha- sis of all the courses seems to lie on trends. Second Year Latin demands memory equally as much as original- ity, cgvers 5 times as many trends as details, is criticized by 1/3 as having too much reading, and covers the ma- terial very well. Advanced Latin gives no opportunity for originality, places no stress on details, covers too much reading, and does not cover the material announced.- Medieval Latin is revealed as. requiring twice as much originality as memory, .emphasizing trends 3 times as much as details, de- manding too much reading according to 1/3 of the replies, and covers ‘the material very well. Mathematics The Major and Advanced Mathemat- ics courses in every case stress details, do not require too much reading, cover the material announced, and discour- age no one (except Third Year Cal- culus, which discourages 1/3). They differ in their demands for memory originality: Second Year Mathe- matics balances memory and original- ity in the ratio of 5 to 3; Second Year Calculus and Second Year Geom- etry involve'‘no memory; Third Year Mathematics requires all memory work, Third Yéar Calculus bdilances memory with originality in the pro- portion of 3 to 2; and Theory of Fun- damentals of Complex Variables bal- ances the two exactly.
