We have long planned to conduct a survey of college sentiment on athlet- ics, and we chose this occasion as a parting fling before our departure into the shades of grateful retirement. The intention of the questions was to get a general expression of undergraduate sentiment about the purpose of,an ath- letic prégram and to attempt to find out what other sports. students would like to have provided if it could be ar- ranged. We did not undertake the survey in a spirit of criticism, but sim- ply as a matter of interest, and the results should be interpreted in this light. There are those who feel that inter- est in athletics is at a fairly low ebb at present and who look to the ‘‘good old days” when everyone came out and cheered for their class teams and great throngs attended varsity contests — shades of the poor forlorn gatherings we have occasionally seen observing some of our recent contests. Perhaps athletics were overemphasized then, _ but they are if anything underempha- sized now. We can speak with a fair measure of authority for we received 149 answers, which represents rough- ly 40 per cent. of the college. Students in general expect to get ex- ercise, enjoyment, health, and training in sports which will be useful: after college from the program in athletics. Several people took occasion to have their fling at required athletics, and six-said that they thought they should be eliminated. One of them felt quite strongly that college studentapierre “past the age of co-operation” therefore organized sports were, a waste of time. times when the authorities think th we are past that age, but as a general rule we like to think that most of us are still willing to work with others.

Drive Is: Publicized in New York Papers Bryn Mawr’s Million Dollar Drive is on its way to winning a million dol- lars’ worth of advertising as well. On both March 17 and 18, the New York Times and the New York Herald-Trib- une. printed accounts of our money- raising activities and displayed pic- tures of our committees. In the Sunday Herald Tribune, a, photograph of the New York mem- bers of the Undergraduate Drive Com- mittee held a prominent place. The Sunday Times included, besides this same picture, a detailed report of campus projects for winning funds. Not even our sacrifice of desserts was forgotten in the long list of enter- prises intended to contribute towards the undergraduate quota of $20,000. On Monday, the alumnae program received its share of attention. The Times and the Herald Tribune both held at on April 16. This celebration in honor of Bryn Mawyr’s 50th anniversary will be only a part of a series occurring on that same day in different cities throughout the country—in Chicago, San Francisco, St. Louis, and Port- land, Oregon. In the féte sponsored by the New York alumnae, the feature will be the opening of a Garden df Nations on an outdoor terrace of the RCA Building. d| Bridge games, a buffet luncheon, a fashion show and reception will all be going on at the same time in different guilding. As guests of honor there will be present many ce- lebrities of the stage and screen, and to entertain them the New York alum- nae will be hostesses. Fortune Scrutinizes Bryn Mawr to Find Us Free, Nonchalant, And Well-Dressed The college can scarcely have failed to get wind of the fact that there is an exciting new project in progress on the campus: Bryn Mawr is being in- vestigated! Mrs. Standen and Mr. Hobson of the staff of Fortune, with the able assistance of J. Hopkinson, 35, and P, Little, ’35, are rounding up the students to pose them queries of a most entertaining nature. Be- fore the question, “What is your chief interest?” many an undergraduate has come to a full and baffled stop, and many more will doubtless feel a like embarrassment before the ten days of Mrs. Standen’s visit are unfortunately over. We have heard rumors, which Mrs. Standen firmly denies, that among-the questions are, “Are you a Pacifist? Are you a Communist? Has your opinion on these matters chang- ed since you have come to college?” but even if this is not the particular in- formation which she is seeking, all of her questions are carefully calculated to give us to pause and think. Mrs. Standen’s present impressions of the Bryn Mawr girl, which she ad- mits have been gathered ‘in a day and a half, and will-doubtless.be revised by. the end of the ten days, are that she is rather individualistic in the sense of doing what she likes, and that she is not opposed to the college authori- ties. She is singularly free of rah- ‘rah college spirit, and, contrary to the popular impression of Bryn Mawr, is not. particularly badly dressed. She has also the advantage of being almost completely left to nar own devices by the college. Mrs. Standen herself has led a va- ried and far from monotonous exist- ence. She has lived all over the Conti- nent, has studied in Geneva, Berlin, and at the London School of Econom- ics, and has worked as a reporter for an official news. agency at Geneva. For three or four years, she reported the international, disarmament and rep- arations conferences, and then because‘ of her extensive knowledge of Italy gained from having lived there, she was secured by Fortune last year to assist in preparing their Italian number. In view of Mrs. Standen’s apparent ability to secure work of a most inter- esting nature, she was immediately pressed for Advice to the Young in Quest of a Job. She believes that the most important tool any young person can have is an efficient knowledge of shorthand and typing in several lan- guages. For her own type of work this knowledge has been essential, and with it, plus the asset of a college edu- cation, everyone is well prepared to seek a job in newspaper or magazine work. ¢ An unusual | point of view with re-} spect to giris “was-cJineed by Mrs. Standen, when she expressed her belief | that women would profit more from a college education if they had worked before they came to college, and were College Calendar Thursday, March 21.

College Council Votes For Library Reforms Suspension Penalty Proposed For Misusing Reserve Room Book Privileges POLITICAL CLUB URGED President’s House, March 13.—The College Council has voted to suggest that the illegal removal of books from the two innovations to the college: Reserve Room and the Art Seminary should be punished in the future by and that a Political Union, probably modeled on the Oxford Union, and aiming to train women by means of lectures, debates suspension from college, and discussions to take part-in poli-| tics, should be organized this spring. If the misuse of Reserve Room and Art Seminary books is not completely stopped by this new measure, the pos- sibility of having all books checked by the librarians.as they.are-removed, will-be brought before the undergrad- uates for discussion. -The Council also decided that the faculty should be en- couraged to urge the students to buy more books, and discussed the ques- tions of Big May Day, the Greek play, and smoking in the Deanery. No ac-: tion has yet been taken by the faculty on the abolition of scheduled quizzes. The college authorities feel very strongly that the problem of misusing books is serious: a student who is either so careless or so dishonest that she inconveniences the rest of the col- lege by removing books which are in demand, is not fit. to be a member of the college community.. One student was discovered to have twenty-seven books missing from the Reserve Room, the stacks, and the Hall library in her room, and another illegally removed a book which was in great demand from the Aesthetics reserve. Both students have been warned that if they offend in this way again, they will be asked to leave college, in the first case per- manently, and in the second tempor- arily. A chapel announcement will be made that in future this ruling will apply to the whole college, and that it will be invoked for first offenders without further warning. ©. @& If this measure does not prove suf- ficiently effective, the undergraduate body will be asked to consider the pos- sibility of ngt allowing the students to enter the Reserve Room or Art Seminary, but of having librarians in both places who will get the books for the students and make i be any one student gets only the books she has reserved. While it is possible that this measure might delay the ten o’clock removal of books for overnight, a similar procedure is followed in Hmany other colleges and works with considerable rapidity, because the li- brarians are swifter in finding the books than the students. - It would be highly undesirable to lock up the stacks in the same way, since freedom consequently more mature. The enter- pot f the stacks is a necessary privilege, u ing age could profitably be raised to19 or 20, so that women could learn to form a sound opinion rather than spend = in accumulating a large num of facts. wm t the Reserve Room and Art Semi- nary books are more nearly the prop- erty of the entire college.

Miss Park also said that Mr. I. A. Rich- ards, fellow and lecturer of Mag- delan College, Cambridge, has ac- cepted the invitation to deliver the Mary Flexner lectures for the year 1935-6. The College has also been given a picture Boats at Gloucester, by Miss Marian MacIntosh, of Prince- next year ton, a Bryn Mawr alumna of the class of. 1890, and a_ well-known American landscape painter. The picture was given by Dr. Ethel Dun- ham, hung in Pembroke East. The Mary E. Garrett European Fellowship was established when the college was only nine years old to enable a graduate student to study and travel abroad for a year. This student lives as a resident at a strange university under teaching French Play and Dance Will Aid Alumnae Drive (Especially contributed by E. Thompson, ’35) The French Club of Bryn Mawr College will present on Saturday,. March 23, in Goodhart Hall, its an- nual play, to be followed by a dance in the Deanery. The performance this year will be Maurice Maeter- linck’s Soeur Béatrice, directed by Mlle. Maud Rey. It is an ambitious play for amateurs to attempt, _be- cause it involves such deep religious feeling, such delicacy and poignancy in its emotional conflict. It is the well-known legend of a nun who for- sakes her duty to the Virgin. The scene is laid in a convent of the fourteenth century throughout all three acts. The changes of light up- on the set, the light of the lamp hanging by the image of the Virgin, the light that comes at dawn through the rich stained-glass window and falls like jewels on the statue, the moonlight and the snow seen through the open door, the unearthly light of the miracle which shines about the Virgin, all-produce—variety— of effect and accompany the changing moods of the play. - All the richness of de~ ‘tail is contrasted with the simplicity of the play’s skeleton. The detail of the costumes of the period, the bells, the chanting of plainsong, the won- ders of the miracle itself, with its light, music, and sudden burst of flowers, all are to be worked out with care. This play, under the capable direction of Mile. Rey, should be very beautiful and moving. The lighting for this presentation is in charge of Sophie Hemphill, ’37, and Elizabeth Webster, ’38. Scen- ery was designed by Rebecca Davis, 31, Alice Shurcliff, ’38, Mary Hutch- ings, ’37, Anne Reese, ’36, and Ann Fred, ’38. E. L. Davis, "37, and Anne Edwards, ’37, ‘are in charge of the props. The costume: designing was done by P. Majiship, ’36, M. Lewis, ’37, E. Bryan, ’38;.and A. A. M. Graves, ’37, and the stained glass window by S. Morse, ’35. I. Ferrer, 37, arranged and directed the music, while Laura Richardson is the organ- ist. M. Whalen, ’38, J. Stern, ’36, and H. Harvey, ’37, are directing the publicity. “ The tickets for Soeur Béatrice are $1.00 and $.75, with a $.25 reduction to students: For the following dance, the tickets are $2.25 a couple and $1.00 stag.

This fellowship, a magnificent gift to a good. scholar, has been held by many distinguished members of the facul- ties at ten of the prominent . colleges in America. Miss Stearns, who re- ceives it for this year, obtained her A. B. at Smith College ih 1931, and her M. A. at Bryn Mawr in 1983. In 1933-34 she was a graduate schol- ar at Radcliffe and during the past year she has been a graduate student and reader in Philosophy at Bryn Mawr College. She proposes to study at, Oxford and at Edinburgh with the great English and Scotch students of Plato, Aristotle, Kant, and Hegel. Letters overwhelming in their “commendation ‘were written from Snfith, Harvard, and Bryn Mawr, including one from Professor Whitehead who declared that Miss Stearns was “receptive, critical, and speculative, and a difficult philosophic adversary,” Because ‘of the drop in the income of the fund it is impossible to award the Fanny Bullock Workman Schol- arship, a great catastrophe because three of the candidates recommended ‘are of unusual promise. But two European Fellowships have been awarded to Bryn Mawr graduates from other sources. Miss Ruth Whit- redge, “Fellow in French, has. re- ceived the Fanny Bullock Workman Scholarship of $1,200- at Wellesley College which she will use for re- search in Paris. Miss Mary, Zelia Pease, Ph.D., Bryn Mawr, 1933, has been awarded the Alice Freeman Palmer Fellowship of $1,500‘ by the American Association of University Women, which she will use for study in Greece of Imitations of Attic and Corinthian Pottery. Mr. Richards was ‘selected by the English Department when it was an- nounced that Mr. Lowes, who was to have delivered the Flexner lectures for this year, was as yet too ill to make any engagements for next year. Mr. Richards is a brilliant and prov- ocative writer and lecturer in the field of English criticism whose especial interest is the influence” of language upon thought. The subject of -his’ lectures; to be delivered over a period of six weeks’ residence on campus in February and March, of 1936, will be. The Philosophy of Style, in connection with which graduate and undergraduate courses will be arranged. In 1931, Mr. Richards was Continued on Page 1 our Pirates Report Great Progress Glee Club officials report that great progress has been made in getting the Pirates of Penzance chorus and cast in shape for actual work on the stage.

University of Wisconsin, 1889 Ph.D. Johns Hopkins, 1900 Born October 12, 1866 Died March 12, 1934 The Peoples’ Choice In our stay at Bryn Mawr we have votedfor undergraduate officers (1) because they were practically the only people on campus whose names we knew, and (2) because they rode bicycles well or had once proved their girlhood mettle at some camp we had attended. In consequence, we found that as a general rule, we elected very -cap- able people and were spared every year a good deal of trouble poring over friends’ talents and over their less exciting virtues in the mental line. On the other hand when we stop to consider the actual number of people who hold college offices in the course of four years, we note that the number js very small, and that it is so because year our in, year out, we elect the same people to office. We are very fortunate . in that our practice of nominating and electing automatically has not reduced the efficiency of the boards so chosen. Our only, complaint is that a great-many talented undergraduates are. never nominated for office, and obyiously never elected. The only reason for opening Self- Government, League, A. A., and Undergrad nominations to general class meetings, was that:the best possible material may be found im the college. We are reminded that ‘all offices demanding particular knowledge or skill aré filled by making a board self-perpetuating ; and that all offices demanding no particular talents, but general efficiency and intelligence, are filled by appointment. The offices that are filled by college vote are the most important in the college; they demand the students with the qualities of leadership ‘and efficiency in the highest degree and every year they need new people,with fresh ideas. With the approach of elections for 1935-36 we wish to suggest that. careful consideration be given to the merits of the nominees and that nominations be made with more_interest and care. There are, we believe, more subtle and no less sturdy merits among us than the accomplished riding of bicycles. Politics to the Fore One of the most surprising characteristics of the Bryn Mawr campus in recent years has been its lack of interest in polities. Oceca- sionally, when wars have seemed imminent or when the administration has perpetrated what we considered an outrage, there has been an outburst of indignation about the erring ways of the politicians, but there have, been no organized attempts to discuss national politics on a basis of constructive criticism. : Politics is one of the fields in which women are playing an increasingly important role, but it is also one for which definite train- ing in making speeches and in playing the political game are neces- sary. While the working of the political sy stem may be learned in courses, there is no time in a course to give the students that training which must be the equipment of every person who plans to work in this field. At the time that some of our more famous Bryn Mawr alumnae worked to gain the vote for women, it was expected that women would take an active part in polities and would militate to eliminate the corruption from which the American system of govern: ment notoriously suffers. It has been one of the greatest sources of their disappointment in this generation that we apparently take little “interest in performing the task for which they so hopefully laid the groundwork. ' A movement is now taking place in American colleges to stimu- Jate unde duate interest in political questions by founding societies in which current political problems can be hotly discussed and in which the e students may have the opportunity to form a sound political Ste phy as a basis for their future work. Such a union would be eellent beginning for the necessary training in the procedure hie i is ger followed in political organizations, and would permit student Ht Deyn Meets 4 ebb © ti mn Seger oe Sr wires END TO MY NEW HAT (Or, Ode on the Millinery Mode) Toque or. turban, Poke suburban, Sailor, brim, and panama; To be weathered, Furred and feathered, Or just made of ‘simple straw?

A dark and_ stormy night. Wan stretches of moonlight streaked the snow. The library started up green and horrible in the night. It was al- most ten o’clock and everything was hushed in dread anticipation of the ten o’clock bell. Nothing was. stirring. Mirabel pulled the coat closer about her and whipped around the draughty spaces of Pem Arch. It was a queer night. (N. B., you detectives. Very queer.) You could see Taylor clock in the moonlight pallor, O! much more distinctly than usual. Mirabel looked up—three minutes to ten. Barely enough time to make the library. The clock hand clicked one minute nearer the zenith. Mirabel sped on, past the sandwich girls and into the Reserve Room. She scanned the Abnormal Psych shelf. No Secret of a Hysteroid’s Success. was there to be found. She swore softly, so as not to attract too much attention to her- self, but she swore several times over, because after all, the exam was only two days off and the entire class was reading the book. She glanced at the table. Good God! there it was! She looked at it. Already signed up, Guf- “fey, the grind, as usual. That girl was never satisfied to read a book once through. She had to sign it out per- petually and re-read it. Mirabel saw the girl at the desk watching her peculiarly. She put the book down and wandered to another reserve. Finally the bell rang and all of Bryn Mawr began to swarm into the room, trying to get books. The girl at the desk was busy. Mirabel, watching for her chance, quickly snatched the book and hurried out. She bought a sandwich at the lib door and then tore down the path and to her room. One thing. She knew better than to try it in the smoking-room with the prospect of having Guffey return upon her any minute. To be sure, she _knew_better than that.__She shut her room door, pulled the blinds against any Peeping Toms and settled down. AND THAT WAS THE LAST THAT WAS EVER SEEN OF MIR- ABEL DODD, ALIVE. Heh! Heh! we shall continue this in our next. Only we wish you would solve it. Cheerio— THE MAD HATTER. Voice of Bryn Mawr To the Editor of the College News: In an editorial in the March 13 is: sue of the College News there are sev- eral points to which I should like to call attention. The writer of the edi- torial says, “Bryn Mawr officially is not allowed to make a pilgrimage ‘to Vassar or Smith for the purpose -of competition in basketball, hockey, ten- nis, and other sports. If we go at all, each individual girl takes upon herself the responsibility of transporting her- self thither and back, and the Bryn Mawr Varsity team is actually -not present in name, even though it lgoms large as life in person. It-is doubt- less true that this pronibition against ‘ engaging in organized activities is a hindrance to us in arranging #ched- ules with the other colleges.” There are several misstatements in the above sentences. Every other year the Bryn Mawr varsity tennis team goes—as the Bryn Mawr Varsity ten- nis team—to Vassar, where a number of matches are played with the Vassar team. In alternate years the Vassar team comes to Bryn Mawr. The en- tire expense of each trip is shared by the Athletic Associations of the two colleges. In the same way, one ‘year the Bryn Mawr varsity swimming team goes to Swarthmore, and the next year the Swarthmore team comes here, the two Athletic Associations sharing all expenses. In each of the above cases the Bryn Mawr team is officially present at the other college as a Bryn Mawr varsity team. The Athletic Association is in ac- cord with the Administration and the Physical Education Department - in having no special desire at present for further extension of our athletic rela- tions with other colleges. We feel that. the emphasis on varsity teams, with their few members, should be no greater than the emphasis on the m@ch lar ger group of players who are not on varsities. The problem of time is necessarily very important. For four or five girls to go to Vassar every other year for the tennis trip requires a great deal of manoeuvering and planning. It would be almost impossible to arrange such a trip for a whole hockey team with- out seriously affecting our full sched- ules and academic work. Another point is that such “pilgrim- ages” as those suggested in the News are quite- expensive, and since each undergraduate contributes the same amount of money to the Athletic As- sociation, we feel that this money should be spent as far as possible for the bert of the ‘whole student body rather than for a chosen few. We do not want our varsity sports activities to become a_ standardized business of intercollegiate competition. Several of the men’s colleges, which have been embroiled in such a system are now placing increasing emphasis on smaller, more numerous, perhaps less expert teams, on which are repre- sented the greatest-possible number of students. In a similar way we feel that class teams are just as important and deserving of support as are varsi- ties. The Athletic Association, therefore, does not at present feel any special need for furthering geographically our sports activities. But such exten- sion is perfectly possible, as is evi- denced by the two already existing cases; and as further need, desire, rent governmental policies and measures. It is proposed to start a political union at Bryn Mawr this spring, at this conclusion of an investigation into the methods of organizing and running such societies in other colleges. Debates, political speeches and discussions would comprise the chief activities of the union, which would probably become one of the major college organizations. Debat- ing is one of the brighter and better sports, and the lack of it is unfortunate at Bryn: Mawr because it requires formal training, is excellent practice for. making speeches in any kind of executive work, and is decidedly amiiSing and entertaining. Political lectures and dis- eussions are likewise an. exciting form_of- activity, and will help to extend the interests of campus life beyond our own minor, if intrigu- ing, problems. é We expect and hope that the college will be intensely interested in organizing and taking part in this political society, when the ques- tion of beginning it is laid before us. It will give us another of those opportunities which the stage and the News provide, to obtain a form of training that may be useful to us when we graduate, and will thus be an enterprise of great practical benefit to those students who will have to make speeches or take. part in formal discussions. in their future work. time,’ and funds arise, this extension can take place. BETTY FAETH, 1935, (President Athletic Association). To the Editor of the College News: We-are delighted to find that Miss Wescott’s great interest in the drama has borne fruit, but we are shocked. and alarmed to discover the extent of her misinformation on things theatri- - cal. We ourselves witnessed the first performance of For This Relief, ‘and unless it was radically altered on-thé second night, something is very, very odd about Miss Wescott’s review. We are under the impression that. the play, far from being a bedroom farce on a desert island (should such an anomaly be possible!), is a, stark tragedy of life in.the Kentucky hills! Furthermore, if would seem that Miss Wescott must have neglected to onsider her theatre program. She states that Shandra MacPherson and Walter Halliday played the leading roles, while we have a distinct mem- ° ory, and a program to support it, that we were immensely pleased with the work of Deirdre Diavsoleff and James Walton in those. very same leading roles. We would not mention these trivial errors, did we not believe in providing our readers with the truth even at the cost of a beautiful friend- ship. Lastly, Miss Wescott’s descent. into the “blasé collegianisms” of which she accused us inher letter, pains us in the extreme.” To say that “the bed- room has long ago seen its best days” isan‘ obvious reflection of the cynical despair in the future which under- graduates are only too likely to affect.

From the moment of the opening whistle, the game was fast. There was quick, neat -passing, although the Swarthmore guards seemed to Stick very close and managed to break up the forwards’ passwork in the begin- ning. However, they got loose suffi- ciently for Betty Faeth to get in some beautiful long distance shots, while and Larned netted, five field goals and five, foul shots during the first half. The second quarter was the occasion for an unusual interruption, when a photog- rapher dropped a vital part of his ap- paratus with a loud crash, and all ac- tivity had-to be suspended until a dust;pan and brush could be brought to repair the damages. The beginning of the second half First the Swarthmore forwards got the ball and Metcalfe chalked up two points for them, followed immediately by a basket for Bryn ‘Mawr, then two more for Swarthmore. However, this seemed but a momentary turn of the managed. to maintain its substantial lead of the first half. Near the end. of the last quarter, after time out by Swarth- more, everyone seemed to take a new lease on life’ and play was fast and furious until. the final whistle blew with the score standing 35-19 in Bryn Mawr’s favor. So, our congratulations to the team, and let’s all come out and watch what promises to be a @xand game against. Rosemont next Satuf® day.

Wylie Record Good, Despite Error (Especially contributed by Miss Brady) The eighty-yard mark on the Bryn Mawr pool when measured four years ago was measured incorrectly. The distance was six feet short of the. cor- rect mark. After Margaret Wylie, of the class of 1936, broke the record in the class swimming meet, the error was discov- ered and corrected forthe Swarth- more meet. Miss Wylie was timed with three watches at a practice per- iod in the new and correct distance and her time was 54 4-5 seconds. This time will starfd as the college record, because, comparatively, she had done the distance formerly three seconds faster than any previous record, * .

In spite of our prophecy of falling records, Swarthmore took all . nine firsts, and it seemed that the day was Except for the crawl for form, in which Whiting tied with Keyes of. the visiting team for “first place with a total of 21.5 points, far below Whiting’s usual standard, and the 40-yard back stroke, in which Woodward was leading, but got twist- ed up in her shoulder strap, and fell behind, Bryn Mawr had lost its chance of winning. In the . 80-yard free style, Irvine set a new record for Swarthmore of 55.2 seconds, but fail- ed to break Wylie’s record of 54 2-5 seconds made in the last class swim- ming meet. The diving was perhaps the most spectacular event, with Wat- ‘gon, of Swarthmore, giving a fine ex- hibition, and MacCurdy far exceeding any of.her previous work, — but. we still have to see a prettier half-gaynor than Daniels has performed. In the medley relay Hemphill and __ Bassoe with the side and breast stroke led the field, but Irvine’s trudgeon and High- ly’s crawl gave Swarthmore the final lead. In the final event, the relay, Bryn Mawr lost the lead after the first turn, Swarthmore taking first honors in 1 minute 59.2 seconds. Opportunity, fortunately, often knocks more than once, — and next year the fates may look upon us more favorably. The Swarthmore meet closes Varsity’s season this year. In spite of the loss of many of our. great point winners, Miss Brady has work- ed up a fine .all-round team: which gives us great encouragement for the future. Meanwhile, on Tuesday, 1936’s champion swimmers will for the first time meet the Baldwin School swim- mers at Bryn Mawr, so all out to cheer them on!

Several stressed the importance ‘of physical development in proportion to mental, while other's felt that exercise was necessary as a relaxation. One person defined it as “relaxation for those. who work hard at studies and exercise for those who are accustomed to do nothing.” Someone else felt athletics were essential to “pull the lazy people out of their corners.” There. were a few lone individuals who laid emphasis on the importance of giving a feeling of loyalty to the col- lege and one girl mentioned the good publicity which athletic events give us. Co-ordination and rhythm were given an important place by a number of people. One girl had the novel idea that athletics were fun for the spectators. The phrase “social sports’ occurred again and again in answers to the first and last questions. . Nearly every- one mentioned the importance of training in tennis, swimming, golf, and riding as valuable assets to life after college. training should be a part of the edu- cation in the use of leisure. We were not surprised to find that competition in athletics was endorsed, but we were rather astonished at the unanimity of approval. 118 voted for it outright with 12 people opposed. The remaining fifteen qualified their answers by stating that there should be competition only for those who Some thought that this. Undergraduate Elections The Undergraduate.

Some stressed the element of®expense and others the need of being sure that. the equipment of the opponents was adequate. The fourth questions, which was_a-kind of corollary to the third, followed the same general trend as was to be expected. The result was a vote of 141-2. The sentiment about the importance of inter-class and inter-hall games rather than outside competition |was quite strongly against any further de- velopment of these activities. Many expressed satisfaction with the present system and several said that they felt inter-hall games would be a ‘mistake, as it would emphasize feeling between the halls, a thing which is not desir- able. New ideas and constructive ones cropped up in profusion in the sixth question. .'Bhe suggestion that golf should be arranged was made by 54 students. Many realized the difficul- ties of having our own cdurse at col- lege, but suggested that arrangements might be made with some nearby club like the Merion’C, C., which would perhaps give students a special rate. Others advocated the building of.» a “putting green somewhere on the cam- ' | pus. want it and that it should not be tak: | Squash was the next request | in ' point of numbers, one girl suggesting that we should build a court as soon as we had gotten the new Scienee | Building and the Art Wing of the Library. Apparatus, skating, badmin- | ton, riding and track were next in or- | der of popularity, with archery, base- ball, lacrosse and walking claiming a number of adherents. Several people asked that there be more different kinds of dancing, such as tap-dancing and folk-dancing. Other sports men- tioned were bowling, volleyball, riflery, soccer; tennis-quoit, and bicycling also had their devotees. Perhaps the most novel idea was that of the person who said that “Statues” is a good game.. The seventh question produced a number of ideas about new sports which we have incorporated in the re- sults above. There were also some other remarks which were of interest, Several people expressed a dislike for | Body Mechanics, but were thoughtful |enough to make some constructive re- marks about how it’ could be improved or perhaps replaced by something dif- ferent. Apparatus or indoor tennis were recommended, but the suggestion of substituting corrective exercise or drill for lectures was‘the most inter- esting. In discussing required athlet- ics several practical proposals were made. Several wanted a greater choice in winter sports and mentioned that ice-skating might be included in the list if it proved possible to flood one of the tennis courts, or perhaps join the Philadelphia Figure Skating Club There were several requests that fenc- ing be made available to all through the removal of-the extra fee if this were possible. In connection with re- quired tennis many felt that a new system of play should be organized so that there will not be regular hours when students must go.in order {o-ob- tain credit. The over-crowding is great and more could be learned by, playing at a less popular -hour. was suggested that an honor system of reporting hours of play might be in- stituted which would give all the chance to play when they wanted to. The answers to the questionnaire cannot, of course; be given undue weight. Many of the suggestions are not practical for the present and per- haps never will be, but nevertheless we do feel that certain things are} definitely important as indicative of |’ what students expect to get out of the physical education. program.
