Pem East stands 100 per cent. for the primary interest, value, and importance of marriage as op- posed to a career, and is next to the lowest in its urge for economic inde- pendence. It has the lowest record for divorce (79 per cent.), though 89 per cent. would resent being desert- ed; ‘somewhat contradictorily they yield first place for alimony to Rock, whose mercenary character seems borne out by the startling 39 per cent. who prefer wealthy tranquility to exhilerating but impoverished ro- marice. Pem East and Denbigh op- pose their families’ wishes only 60 per cent., in contrast to Merion’s 81 own: future families, prefer 1-10 of a boy and 1-10 of a girl over every other hall. Rock alone prefers girls to boys, the general order being 2-1 for the masculine sex.. In the answers to this question several enterprising individuals made a bid for fame: one who announced that she wanted ‘20 children; 10-boys and 10 girls,” and one who wants “4 boys—twins twice —and a girl.” Rock has also the unique distinction of refusing to mar- ry a younger man, and Pem West Bryn Mawr 675 JOHN J.

Class Statistics It was expected at first that the class figures would show a smoothly increasing line of develophients, but this has not proved to be the case. We admit we had anticipated the largest number of careerists, to fall among the Freshmen, and decrease every year, on the assumption that only a few women are pre-eminently fitted exclusively for careers—a fact they would ultimately come to ree- get married, 95 per cent. voted that way; whereas 1933 is 23 per cent. ognize. As it stands, however, the Freshmen and Sophomores fall mid- way between the Seniors and Jun- iors, whose opinions are in many cases almost diametrically opposed. The Senior class is on the surface the least conservative, as the Juniors are the most, and in explanation of this an argument may be drawn bas- ed on the-fact that the Seniors are the greatest: believers in a certain compatibility between marriage and a career. 1932 undoubtedly wants to == A : : : s ge in favor of a career, but 8 per cent. nswers in Percentages to Marriage Questionnaire of the former will insist on being Denbigh.

But the fig- ures cannot be said altogether to bear out this point of view, and it is some- what significant that the eight gradu- ate students in Radnor who responded to the questionnaire follow the same general trend of thé Senior class. f —> Victories, success, the charm and ila aise of battles ms fought mee wen, are in oe bide hs: ae ee WHITMAN’S FAMOUS CANDIES ARE SOLD BY Bryn Mawr College, Inn, Bryn Mawr, Pa.
