The Cut Commuttee

(Specially contribyted by assis Rider,
Chairman)

The Cut Committee of the Under-
graduate Association is composed__of
the first junior member of the associa-
tion as chairman and four other mem-
hers, one elected by each class. The
members of the Cut Committee. this
vear are: Chairman: Alice Rider; 1931,
Elizabeth Doak; 1932, Emma Paxson;
1933, Elsa Bassoe; 1934, Janet Eliza-
_ beth Hannan. —

 

The committee has beew authorized
by the faculty to regulate all academic
cuts. It decides the number of un-
excused cuts to be allowed without
penalty, and for this purpose has taken
into consideration not only the condi-
tions here, but also the way similar
problems have been met in other col-
leges. The cominittee appoints student
monitors to take the attendance in all
classes, sends out’ to every student at
the end of each month a record of the
number of cuts she has taken to date,
and penalizes overcutting.

Milliken, ’32, spoke in Chapel,

February 10.
“The -problem,”

“was

‘Tuesday,

the development of Christian
character in colleges and universities.”

As the most important point of this

was religious organizations, and the
>

afternoon debatés were solely on re-

quired chapel, this phase was of little
interest to Bryn Mawr. The morn-
ing discussions proved of greater in-
terest. These came from the commis-
sions on administrative policy, the edu-
cational system, social and organized
campus life, morals in a day of rela-
tivity, social attitudes and résponsibil-
ity, and students’ counsels.

Miss Moore found the commission
of “Higher Education” very frank in
its discussion of the plans in various
colleges, and the general problems of
eduication.. Among the questions raised
was that of grading and promotion,
and the consensus of opinion seemed
to be in favour of only two marks,
passed and failed, with & possible mark
for superlative work.

Half the students worked on “moti-
vation,” and advocated — presenting
work in-a more pleasing manner, and
getting away-from the formal lecture
system, which means something like
the Chicago plan where no time limit
is set, and the courses are broad. The
other half, working on examinations,
‘suggested that they be on a two-fold
basis, that is: fact examinations, which
should be frequent, and only to test
for the facts absorbed; and a report or
thesis on one. general phase, to see
how a problem of the course could be
handled. For the latter, special time,
as in examinations, was to be given.
This double’form was thought to get
away from the present-day evils char-
acterizéd in the conundrum: “‘Why is
a college professor correcting exami-
nations like a dog eating sausage?
is devouring his own substance thrown
back: at him in mangled form.’

Miss Milliken went to the Commis-
sion on “Social Attitudes and Respohy
of Social Change.” “It was interest-
ing,’ she declared, ‘that of all the
inquiries submitted, .only three were
on curriculum changes” (this’was Miss
Milliken’s topic). This was interpreted
not as a sign of satisfaction with the
existing curricula, but.rather that stu-
dents did not consider this their busi-
ness. Se

Pythagoras Misinter preted
Our- first experience of numerical avétages which have supplanted
the time-honoured system of honour points and their cortesponding
marks inevitably demands cgmment of one nattre or another. Although

in discussing the point we shall make every effort: to be impartial, we|

confess that we are-not without prejudice. Obviously, there are several
points of view to’ be considéred: that of the undergraduate body who
must bear the brunt of the new marks, that of the faculty who must
decide them, and, lastly, that of the unbiased observer,

We car only recount the faculty views as they seem to be; we must

Complaints were voiced against the

ness is, undoubtedly, one of the more favourable features of the new plan.

On’ the other hand, the difference between an 84 and an 86 seems to
be so slight as to be almost imperceptible, and certainly presents a diffi-
culty to the professor. How is it possible, in a college course, to make
the fine distinction of one or two points in grading the student’s knowl-
edge of the subject? The emphasis is, inevitably, laid more and more
on the actual-mark, when a “cum” depends solely on a rigid statistical
alignment... We fail'to appreciate the difference of a few points one way
or the other, except that it attaches:an entirely new significance to the
grade. Having been duly impressed with the fact that marks are not the
only thing in college, we are somewhat in the dark as to the motive which
prompts a move which must make a fetish of marks.

Moreover, there would seem to be little dignity in a number tagged
to our name. It is too strongly reminiscent of high school days and
college boards, when knowledge of certain facts, and nothing more, was
demanded. We had always flattered ourselves that, in college, intelli-
gence, a comprehensive grasp of the situation, and various other equally
intangible qualities were considered in the final grade. With all due
regard to the faculty, we confess that we fail to see how it is possible to

‘ discriminate in such delicate matters to the extent of a point or two. And,
- ynfortunately, even one point now counts considerably, in. averaging

toward graduation honours. ele

Finally, from the undergraduate angle, the psychology of this step
is somewhere at fault, unless there is a deliberate intent to foster competi-
tion. If we are to be so graded, we will indubitably degenerate into petty
bickering and rivalry. One cannot help being elated over beating one’s

~ chosen enemy by a few points; and, in addition, no one cares for the

humiliation of a mark in the 30’s. An FF is less painful to one’s pride,
for there is always the hope that it wasn’t such a very bad flunk; and

at least, all one’s friends won’t be so inclined to discuss, in awed tones,’

the depths to which one has fallen.

As to the faculty, since they voted the measure in, presumably they
wanted it. But there remains a large degree of inconsistency, at least, of
uncertainty. If the old system is to be abolished, then all its attributes
_ accompaniments should go too. But,some marks are posted with
their merit qualifications in the neighbouring column. Still others have

_ appeared without inteftnediate notations, bearing exactly the same conno-

tation as the old letters indicated—i. e., 70, 75, 80, etc—thereby defeating
their own .ends.. The most conclusive evidence against the faculty’s
wholehearted acceptance of the system, however, iS that, though they
mark anywhere in the numerical scale, they apparently retain in the backs
of their minds a more or less definite conception of marks as resting on
a merit basis. This is illustrated by a case in fact; a professor posted a
-grade of 58, which, with the present rigidity of the field is not satisfac-
tory. It transpires that she meant this to be regarded in the light of a
Of old, this difficulty would have been obviated: now, in order to
pass the student, a petition must go to the Senate to raise the mark to a
60. Yet, if the mark arithmetically is 58, on what grounds can it. be
raised two points? : ;
Criticism now becomes as impersonal as the circumstances will per-
mit. Numerical marking in college is too rigid, too lacking in scope and
comprehension. In the case above cited, if the professor thinks the stu-
dent has a sufficient knowledge of the course to be regarded as satisfac-
tory, then it should be his or her privilege to designate it, whatever the
examination and quiz marks average. It would seem a strangely narrow
system which demands, without reservation, a conditioned examination
on a mark so very close to the edge. It can not be possible to draw such
a fine line between safety'and disaster, with no other considerations. ‘The
qualities which we have called intangible should be reckoned with, as well

as other factors. Some students know their subject, but they are nervous

or hurried, or try to write too’ much, and they fall down in the exami-
nation. Or it comes at a bad time, as frequently occuss when three or
four others have preceded it in close order. The time comes when one’s

quite conceivable that the student who “failed” with 58 will, a week later,

remember the whole course pretty thoroughly. The professor is able to |.

judge the grade of her intelligence, her grasp of the course, by her gen-

eral work previous to the examination. There is, apparently, now no

room for. such allowances, and it is felt more bitterly, when others who
less general knowledge, but are-more fresh, and have crammed dili-

‘Required Chapel

On Thursday morning, February fifth, the presence of the student
body was requested in Chapel in order that the President might discuss
certain important changes in the policy toward required subjects. Prob-
ably a majority of the students attended. The service lasted for about
ten minutes beyond the allotted time, and thus a large number of students
were at class at twenty minutes past nine instead of promptly at ten
minutes after. In at least two cases, classes had already begun, and those
students who had respected the request of the administration and had
attended Chapel’lost a fifth of the lecture period. It seems unjust that
these students should be expected to make up work missed in attending an
official college gathering at which all students should have been present.
It.seems equally unjust that the President should be limited to exactly

Mesdemoiselles:
I hope-you will pardon my boldness

in addressing you, but I feel it only

right that a certain matter should be

brought to your attention. Dear ladies,
you have arrived at a crucial point in
your career when you are to choose that
which is to be your guide through the
years, your star and your playmate,
i.*e., one fur-bearing, or otherwise, bird,
beast or fish. Now, my friends, I sug-
gest that you resist these charmers,

for there is one with still greater power
to delight. Yes, it is none other than
your own Sister (Cissy). Centipede!
As you know, I am a modest little
creature; boasting is decidedly painful
to me, but there are certain facts which
cannot be overlooked...As a class ani-
mal, I would be irresistible, for I’ve
been told (tee-hee) that even now I
have great charm. Of course “I am
not a furry beast; “but fam ina
class all by myself: I am the proud
posessor of no end of shapely legs,
with a corresponding number of ankles
to match, all delicately turned, and
with some dainty feet to boot. Think
what opportunities you would have in
the field of foot-gear. You could care
for me in galoshes, I know, or in Dan-
iel Greene comfy slippers. As for the

but I am told that I have a piquante
little face. I think it would look even
quite beautiful on a blue blazer.

Concerning.my moral attributes, |
find difficulty in enumerating them.
Suffice it to say that I look like my
father, but I have my mother’s sweet
disposition. I do not bite children, and
can be patted on the head with a cer-
tain amount of safety.
trained, and can be led on a leash.
Then, too, I am a regular old vacuum
cleaner when it comes~to collecting
news, luscious bits of gossip, and the
like. In addition to all this, I am the
very spirit of good, clean, fun. and a
comfort-toold- age. _Flesh_and_ fowl
may please you in your heyday, but
even in the laughing years of Fresh-
men and Sophomores, you must look
to the future. “Other women cloy the
appetites .they feed,” but I am a Cleo-
patra.

top of me, I am a wee bit wiry I admit, |

I am_ house- ,

One thing more: I am also the toast. °

of the campus, whose every inch I
know. I can hold more than one repu-
tation in the palms of my hands. So,

my friends, when I offer myself to you, °

do not refuse me’ I.am your one hope
of immortality. And for: you, I shall
‘become a glorified Cissy; I shall: be
yours to have and to hold, and to eat
out of your hand. By the way, I wish
to be heralded in.the show by a fan-
fare of trumpets. Then I shall appear
dressed as Titania, maybe. I’ve always
wanted satin slippers. Anyway, I ex-
pect to hear from you very soon. In
the-meantime I remain,

although it does not quite sink to the
level of the “Liebestod” on a piano,
which phenomenon we_ have seen
(and unfortunately heard) produced by
none other than Ignace Jan Paderew-
ski. Of course, in his case, he may
feel that he has exhausted the litera-
ture of his instrument, but it is doubt-
ful whether’the quartet can have done
the same in-its field. Such’ chamber
music as Beethoven, Mozart and
Brahms have left would seem, spir-
itually at least, to: defy exhaustion.

As encores the quartet gave Albeniz’ |

“Tango,” “*Canzonetta” of Mendels-
sohn, and Bizet’s ‘“Adagietta,” none of
which are very outstanding as music.
The last*remark, however, cannot be
applied to Mr. Strauss’ program. His
first group consisted in four very fa-
“mous German songs ‘including “Auf
Flugeln des Gesanges,”” and terminated
with “Lord Randall” as an encore.
This fourteenth century ballad, with its
atmosphere of repressed horror, af-
fo-ded splendid opportunity for \the
dramatic effect which Mr. Strauss can
so well obtain. His voice is not a big
one, but is very colorful, and through
almost perfect diction he brings about
the union-of words and music so. neces
sary to the true interpretation of songs.

In h’s second group, three songs from
Vaughan Prigns “On Wenlock

Edge.” he was accompanied by the
quartet as well as by Miss Margarét
Tilly, and in the first with the startling
programmatic effect of “woods in
trouble.” These songs of *Mr. Wil-

turning to simpler forms.

Illustrating his points by lantern
slides, Monsieur Beaupre followed the
dev relopment of scenery from that. used
in the Italian operas brought to France
by Mazarin in the 17th century. In
these operas the dividing line between

the stage and the audience was not

clearly defined: The dancers came
down off the stage into a space sur-
by the spectators. This
scheme gradually disappeared, until the
actors having retreated to the stage
were corapletely separated. from their
audience.
| In the 18th century scenery became
stylized and segverted to antique sim-
: ’ plicity. ’ Architecttiral sets were, used
or the classic plays especially in the
‘Hotel de Bourgogne. The reason for
this was the idea that the poetry in the
plays was sufficient unto itself: a room
could be ever so much more-beautifully
described in verse than “tt could be

was designed so that it could be
changed from an exterior into an in-
terior by means of a few curtains and

the 18th century was perfectly capable ;

of constructing elaborate settings such
as were used in other types of plays.

superseded by more authentic repre-

With the Empire and Romanticism
the art of scenery became very com-
plicated. Percier, Fontaine and Isabey
are names gonnected with this-develop-
hnent. The people went to the-theatre
as we now go to the “movies”: exotic,
foreign scenery and novelty was what
they wanted. But about- 1880-1890 a
reactionary movement was started by
Antoine in the Theatre Libre, and Paul
Fort in the Theatre d’Art, against this
overemphasis on elaborateness. ‘They
attempted to a scenery artistic and
not merely phofographic. These ideas
have been continued in the work of
Gordon Craig and Stanislavsky, and
taken up again in.France by Jacques
Roucher in the Theatre des Arts.
Scenery, according. to modern theory,
must be entirely simple and must be in
harmony with the words of the actors.

Monte Carlo: at first trees are -very
upright and tidy-looking; but soon they
take on a dejected air, while the whole
balustrade turns upside down. This
set was designed by Louis Jouve for
the Theatre des Champs Elysees.

In conclusion Monsieur Beaupre said
that scenery‘in its harmony with the
play, does more than reply to the de-
mands of the spectator; it carries him
outside himself and perfects the illu-
