Bryn Mawr started out on the de- fensive against its opponents’ fast passing, but the guards soon seemed able to manage the speed and team- work by intercepting before the for- wards got under the basket. A few direct passes through the center and down to the, Varsity forwards gave Bryn Mawr the needed ‘encouragement and defense was abandoned ‘in favor of a steady.and. consistent offense in the center and forward courts. Dur- ing the second quarter, after the score had see-sawed back and forth continually Varsity pulled away into a lead which she never relinquished, though there were many exciting mo- ments during the second-half when it looked as though’ the Saint Joseph team had found the shooting range of the basket, and when a_ sudden spurt of fast passing looked danger- ous. The guards, however, were on their toes waiting to intercept and break up dribbles, and, on the whole, they were successful, mainly because the opposing .team used so many passes to get into scoring position. Bryn Mawr’s defeat of the Saint Joseph team makes the prospects for a-win over the Rosemont team |seem even brighter. Time will tell and the breaks of the game may be against us. Let’s hope not.

Though Bryn Mawr took an immediate offensive at- tack, to lead by ten points at the end of the half, Smith’s absence in the second half forced the Varsity on the defense and Mt, St. Joseph managed to score ten of its points in this per- iod to Varsity’s four. Many substi- tutions by the opposing team also made it a bit difficult for the forwards to maintain a consistent teamwork -and a sigh of relief went up when the final whistle blew and the game came to an end. A few more minutes and the St, Joseph team would prob- ably have evened up the score. Bish- _ op and Jarrett were sadly missed, but we ‘must congratulate both Wash- burn and Smith for their excellent work against a strong forward combi- nation. The line-up was as follows: Mt.

MacCracken, President of Vassar College, and a.member of the Board of Advisers of the National Student Federation, in a recent address be- fore the New York Alumnae of the college, “is not one in which there is ‘ any- demand for their services as indi- dividuals. The powers of the mind, in flexibility, concentration, imagina- tion and energy, are now required, in this changing world, with the ability to go on one’s own steam rather than specialized vocationalism.” The func- tion of education is to follow rather than lead, he said—(N.S.

The most important influence in the theatre since Ibsen’ has been Chekov, a member of the realistic school, who suggested realism with exquisite’ touches of illumination. Stanislavsky, the producer of his plays, managed to put these moments of illumination into the acting, for they depend on the actors to be conveyed, while Shakes- peare took the burden off the actors and put his illuminating suggestions into his poetry. This is why Chekov is not always .appreciated. Wagner is also important in the theatre for having tried to put the realm of aesthetics known to us through the symphonies of the mas- ters, into the theatre in the rational terms of language. Without Wagner there would have been no Russian bal- let, for the Russian ballet tries to af- fect the same alliance in terms of the dance. As a young man, Wagner wanted to wed the theatre and music: Shakespeare and Beethoven. He brought the quality of Beethoven into the theatre, but he did not bring the quality of Shakespeare. Shakespeare was tied to Beethoven’s apron strings, because Wagner was a great musi- cian and the whole action of his drama was internal and spiritual. The whole drama takes places in terms of music and of human life which the puppets have to represent, so that'| it transcends the theatre, as does King as Lear, but’ it is still important ,be-|| cause it is trying to give articulate expression to symphonic music. Shakespeare’s great, glamorous, magical phrases are in thé nature of music also, and are attempting to ex- plain the undertone of human life, which Emerson calls the “over-soul.” || This is a far more difficult task for the poet than for the composer, be- cause the poet wérks in terms of ra- tional language and speech. Shakes- peare is universally great because his achievesuccess. — Geographical loca- tion is a very important. considera- tion for the young professional at the start of a career. A college student, planning a pro- fessional career which includes three or four years of definite professional training, has little time to waste in thinking over arrangements. She must decide on her plans now. The best way to do this is to discuss the matter with an older person. Miss Park and Mrs. Manning are always ready to give advice. Vocational guid- ance is being worked out more and more in the larger colleges and uni- versities. - It is, however, difficult without a separate bureau, and also is less needed, unless the vocation is regarded as part of a student’s aca- demic training. Mrs. Manning be- lieves in the right of young people to change their minds. No kind of pro- fessional guidance will prevent them from doing so. Authorities of Miami University (Oxford, O.) have reported the theft from their college library of St. Au- gustine’s “Quotes Incunabulum,” pub- lished in 1492, and “Plautus Come- dies,” published in 1585. —(N.

To the Editor of the College News: Dear Editor: If we must -have required courses, let us discriminate and not place Dic- tion, Hygiene, and Body Mechanics before the Bible. The Bible is, of course, a cornerstone of our culture. Therefore we cannot fully understand or interpret our literature until we know the Bible well. Until we have studied it; we have omitted a. large part of the world’s greatest litera- ture and have no right to be critics. We should have the Bible always in our minds as a criterion of excellence by which to estimate other literature. A careful study of the Bible is in- spiring not only to the mature liter- ary student, but also to all types, to a young mind that understands through narrative; as well as to’ a mature philosopher. The. Bible is not to be read superficially and easily, yet how many of us have only a superficial knowledge of it. We are denying our- selves a great experience by pretend- ing that we have had it. ‘With a re- quired course, at least we should all be exposed to this experience. Sincerely yours, - EVELYN THOMPSON. To the Editor of the College News: I gather from reading last week’s News that the faculty emerged from their conference with the Curriculum Committee on the. proposed system of comprehensive examinations, with the idea that the undergraduates had no serious objections to the new plan. I |am_ convinced that-the-undergraduates— are dissatisfied with the proposal, not on the ground that it would involve too much work, but becaues they are ‘doubtful of the wisdom of the theory of education underlying it. I wish, therefore, to make the following criti- cisms and hope that they will ade- quately express the unformulated dis- trust of the new plan which we all feel. It is my personal belief that a col-~_ lege education should provide a sound, thorough, informed, and _ intelligent basis for future ‘specialization. It is | becoming increasingly obvious that further training is required after we leave college in order to obtain a worth-while job of any kind: an A.B. no longer is the passkey to a responsi- ble position, and is generally regarded as merely the beginning of the neces- sary training. For this reason alone, if for no other, an A.B. should be the certificate that there are approximate- ly no loopholes in our education, and that any further work we may choose to do will be based_on a sound general foundation. For this purpose, the present system of requireds, major and allies is too (Continued on Page Six) MAISON ADOLPHE French Hairdressers Special Prices FOR Bryn Mawr Students , Bryn Mawr 2060 ee ee ao ARDMORE.
