Greater Space to be Provided, For Faculty to Carry Out | Research Work REJUVENATED DALTON’ TO CONTINUE IN USE Music Room, April 9.—Theresa Hel- burn, 1908, has consented to be Queen nounced in chapel, before making pub- | lic more definite plans for the new | science building. It has been necessary to change the; original plans for the science build- ing, since only about $320,000 of the} $925,000 already raised for the drive! has been given without restrictions! as to its use. The building will be| smaller and less expensive, but the interior and the equipment will be as modern and as advanced as had been previously planned. Since the Geology Department requires less space than any other science department, it, to- gether with chemistry, will move to the new building when it is ready for use in October, 1937. The rectangular building will be situ- ated where the faculty apartments, Dolgelly and Cartref, are now located and will be in the same style as the other buildings on campus. The ex- terior will be very simple, in order to save money for the more important in- terior. The two departments will each have about half again as much space as they have now for three important reasons. First, the.college plans to increase the number of undergradu- ates approximately twenty-five in each class, making a total of 100 more stu- dents. Second, it wishes to double the number of graduate scholars and fellows, who need special apparatus for research. Third, it wants to in- crease the amount of space given to the faculty for individual research work, which has always been encouraged at Bryn Mawr. As soon as this building is complet- ed, work will be begun on the inside of Dalton, which will be entirely re- constructed during the summer of 1938 in order to be as adequate as the new building. The money for the re- making of Dalton has not yet been raised, but the alumnae feel confident Wednesday, April 15.—Meet- ing of the Philosophy Club.

College om ie in the Summer School Head Will be Jane Carter Sixty Women to be Chosen Chiefly From Industrial Centers The executive board of the Bryn Mawr Summer Schooi, of which Miss Park is the chairman, decided that the term for the coming summer is to open on June 13 and will extend to August 18, a period of eight weeks. It also appointed Miss Jean Carter as director for the coming season. Besides four years previous experi- ence at the Summer School, Miss Car- ter has been head of the Department of English in the Rochester High School for ten years and has taught at Barnard College during the sum- mer. She is being released by the affiliated schools, with which she is at present connected, in order to ac- cept this position. A lack.of funds prevents the usual number of students from being se- lected from the west and south. It was, however, decided that of the sixty women to be chosen, five are to come from abroad. Two students will-rep- resent Porto Rico, and England and the Scandinavian countries are each to send one delegate. The largest percentage of students will come from the east. The industrial centers in Massachusetts and Connecticut, Read- ing, Scranton and Wilkes-Barre among the Pennsylvanian cities, and that they can procure the required amount. There is no money as yet| for the scientific equipment or for a, maintenance fund, both of which are’ necessary. Akron and Toledo, Ohio, are expected to contribute the greatest number of members. A special effort is being made to equalize the number of union and non-union students. Scholarships, Deanery, Filing of Records Major Business of Alumnae Association Mute but vital testimony of the ex- istence of an Alumnae Association is offered to thirty-seven undergraduates in the form of Regional Scholarships, but the undergraduate body as a whole is unaware of the enormous amount of activity that goes on through the As- sociation’s office in Taylor Hall. The office itself was established in 1919, in connection with a $2,000,000 drive for endowment, the first con- certed effort of the alumnae; but an organization known as the Alumnae Association of Bryn Mawr College, duly approved and chartered by the County Court, has been in existence since 1897. Before that time the as- sociation was a more loosely organized group, formed by the class of 1889 shortly after their graduation from college. The purposes of the organization were at first purely social, to keep up a connection with the life of the col- lege after graduation; but the energy, interest and generosity of this early group soon engaged them in numerous collective enterprises which have since become ingispensible to the mainten- ance of Bryn Mawr as we know it. Today, in addition to the management of its own internal affairs of opera- tion, the: association raises money for its Regional Scholarships and selects ipients for them, provides a dents, publishes a monthly magazine and maintains the Deanery, whose Entertainment Committee has this year brought such speakers as Louis Untermeyer and John Mason Brown to the college, and whose facilities as an inn are available to the parents of undergraduates as well as to alumnae at any time. Despite the diversity of the activi- ties of the Alumnae Association, the Alumnae’ Office itself is a business office. It acts as a general clearing- house for information in regard to the above alumnae enterprises, and performs all the clerical work made necessary by them. Its principle function, however, isto keep records. In a complicated system of files and cross files some record is kept of every girl who has ever attended classes at Bryn Mawr. If a girl did not com- plete her course, or has failed to join the Alumnae Association, the record is necessarily less complete, but her name at least appears in what is known as the Master File. These rec- ords have grown more complicated with the years until today, if some erstwhile undergraduate decides to make a stab at matrimony, changes amust be made in at least ten places. Approximately one-third of the filing cards must be changed every year.

News will act as joint sponsors for a Cur- rent Events Contest organized by Time to be held at the college on Sat- urday, May 2, at 11.30 o’clock. The contest,.for which seventy-five dollars in prize money is being offered, will be held at this time in order not to conflict with either German Orals or May Day rehearsals. Composed of simple factual ques- tions on the period from January 1 to April 15, the test includes items on National Affairs, Foreign News, Busi- ness and Finance, Transport, Science, Books, Music and Art. Sample ques- tions like the following are included in the book of directions for the con- test: criticism of the Federal Govern- ment followed ’the last Florida hurri- cane because most of the victims were (1 Red Cross workers, 2 subsistence farmers, 3 Indians, 4 school children, 5 occupants of veterans’ camps). It has been made as comprehensive as possible in order to interest the larg- est number of students in the ten colleges where contests have been arranged, Registration blanks will be posted on the bulletin board in Taylor until Saturday of this week. They will also be distributed in Economics, Politics and History classes. Those interested are urged to sign the lists as soon as possible. It is still undecided how the prize money is to be divided. The sponsors would be interested to know whether one large prize of fifty dollars with fewer smaller prizes, or a twenty-five dollar first, a fifteen dollar second,.and several prizes of five dollars each would be preferred by prospective par- ticipants. Special prizes of yearly subscriptions to Time will be awarded to everyone making an honor score of ; 90 per cent or more. | cital in the Deanery on April 19 at 5 Miss Burnham Holds Watercolor Exhibit | In Paris When Thirteen (Especially Contributed by Jean Lamson, ’37) i The current exhibition of water-! colors which is to hang in the Com-| mon Room until April 20, affords an | opportunity to Bryn Mawr students} to see the work of one of the ranking | artists in America today: Carol-Lou Burnham, of Chicago, Illinois. $s Burnham, the youngest person| ever to have exhibited in the Spring! Salon in Paris, achieved that distine- | tion at the age of thirteen. She first; studied at the -Art Institute of Chi-} cago, where she won a scholarship: to Fontainebleau. Having completed courses in oil painting, watercolors and fresco (there is a fresco of hers in the Royal Palace), Miss Burnham then received personal instruction from several prominent artists. in Paris, among whom were F. Leger, André l’Hote and Maurice Schwartz. Miss Burnham is considered today one of the finest artists working in Chicago, both from the point of view of technique and of creative imagina- tion. Although she is only twenty- seven years old, her art is at once remarkable for its variety .and inde- pendence; it is completely free from the imitative tendency prominent among the younger artists today. We are hoping to add further to the twelve paintings now hanging, by the end of this week.

Professor Notestein, in addition to his post at Yale, is a member of the British Commission on the House of Commons Records and is the foremost American authority on parliamentary records of the seventeenth century. He has also recently edited the jour- nal of Sir Simon d’Ewes, which is one of: the principal sources for the his- tory of the House of Commons before the Puritan revolution.

Theresa Helburn, executive director of the Theatre Guild of New York and one of the most famous Bryn Mawr alumnae, will have the part of Queen Elizabeth in the May Day page- ant on May 8 and 9. Miss Helburn has been executive di- rector, casting director and a member of the Board of Managers of the The- atre Guild since 1920. She is also an executive of Columbia Pictures Cor- poration in Hollywood. In addition to directing, Miss Hel- burn has written a number of plays, among them Enter the Hero (1916), Allison Makes Hay (1919) and Den- bigh (1921); with Edward Goodman she was co-author: of Other Lives, written in 1921. She is also a lectur- er on drama and poetry and has con- tributed verse and articles to Harp- er’s, Century Magazine and The New Republic. Miss Helburn was graduated from |Bryn Mawr in the Class of 1908. While she was at college she was editor-in-chief and managing editor of Tipyn O’Bob, contributing light verse and short stories as well as plays to this periodical and to the Lantern, of which she was also an editor. She was a graduate student at Radcliffe in 1908-1909 and studied at the Sor- bonne in Paris during the year 1913- 1914.

Martha Van Hoesen, ’39, and Elea- nor Sayre, ’38, who led the meeting emphasized the fact that the Peace Day Meeting is in no way a strike against the college authorities.

Continued on Page Five Registration of Courses The order of classes for the registration of werk for the aca- demic year 1936-37 has been altered-.this year, with sopho- mores registering first from April 15 to May 1. Sophomores are urged to have their slips signed by the head’of the de- partment in which they intend to major. Sophomores who are uncertain of their majors and wish to see the Dean before de- deciding should make appoint- ments at the Dean’s office. This change has been made in order that the departments may have more time in which to prepare - plans and reading lists for the comprehensive examination for the present juniors. ote, Stns tuk Sentech ui Page Two THE COLLEGE NEWS — THE COLLEGE NEWS — (Founded in 1914) A Published weekly during the College Year (excepting during Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter Holidays, and during examination weeks) in the interest ot Bryn Mawr College at the Maguire Building, Wayne, Pa., did Bryn Mawr College. : ba Nothing that appears in The College News is fully protected by og eoitien neoronn gh rmission o e it may be reprinted either wholly or in part wit Editor-in-Chief.

The Personal Pereginations of Algernon Swinburne Stapleton-Smith or Pi ng Lost in a London tg CHAPTER THE THIRD Algae in India. A tall, thin, yellow-faced boy lounged on a horse-blanket near an open grave. It was an Indian ceme- tery near Simla and there were al- ways fresh-dug graves because. the native ‘young died so thick in the Hill rains. Not far away lay a young subaltern puffing at a hookah. Presently he took‘ the thing out of ‘his mouth and pointed at a scrawny figure moving slowly down the hill below them, “who is that Fabaryihg, Algae?” “That is my halahdah,” said the boy peevishly, “he is packing my things. Ha! , Leave Cancelled. Indeed.” “T start tonight with the pack-train. I must get-a camel.” ‘Where is your pony, Leftenant?” asked Algae. “Dead,” said the subaltern, “famine 9 o’Clock and Be Prompt! Lest anyone feel that this editorial board has foregone tradition, we hasten to take a preliminary turn around that stamping-ground of every undergraduate journalistic staff—the Library. The 8.30 morning return on Reserve Room books is observed by few, because most students do not eat breakfast until eight-fifteen and have no intention of rising earlier to spend a fruitless half-hour in the Library before classes. They realize that few students come to the Library at 8.30 and feel that those who do so can easily make known the fact on a reserve slip the night before. Those in charge at the Library apparently feel that this attitude is justified; for few of the many violators who bring back the books at nine, or even eleven o'clock, are punished. Yet this state of affairs is scarcely conducive to strict obedience to Library rules generally. If the eight-thirty rule can be broken, perhaps the weekend or the stacks rules may also be violated without penalty. A nine o'clock return, strictly enforced, would produce greater respect for all Library rules. The assistant in the Eigeerve Room should then have an alpha- betical list of all students in college™ Any books returned after nine o'clock —even minutes late—would cause a»check to be made against that name; and two or three checks would mean swift and automatic suspension of privileges. While catering to the convenience of the majority, such a change would vastly improve the morale of the college with regard to Library regulations in general. In most cases these are-more than generous and need-only a few corrections. Liberal rules strictly enforced prove in the end more efficient than stringent rules seldom obeyed. © Caravanning for Peace The Youth Section of the Emergency Peace Campaign offers with the vigor of a new organization a rare opportunity to all who are seriously interested in world peace. Feeling that talk alone is not sufficient, they offer action to younggpeople. In groups of five and six under leaders they will enter rural is in strategic political regions of the country and there organize programs, lead discussion groups and propagate peace information. They will be able to discover for themselves the best means to arouse a-deep and farsighted feeling for world amity, and they will learn where lie the roots of public opinion. By actual experience, they will find methods to influence this public opinion toward international cooperation, and they will bring home from their caravan tours a store of practical means to avoid the * pitfalls of mere idealistic conversation. To students leaving college or facing an idle summer, disinclined to burrow further into books and unable to travel widely, ‘yet anxious to do something worthwhile, this is a rare opportunity. Ambitious future workers in welfare, politics, peace and education alike will find here a common field in which to acquire practical experierice. The training alone would be invaluable; but far more than this these caravans will be part of a nation- wide campaign to keep the United States out of war. Here is an unequalled chance to help make a great and popular ideal an actuality. It Pays to Keep Up The News announces in this week's issue that Dr. Fenwick has kindly consented to act as faculty sponsor for a Current Events Contest put out by Time magazine and to be given on May second. The News will sponsor the contest among the students, but feels that, in justice to Time, the maga- zine’s offer of prizes cannot.be accepted unless at least fifty students plan: to participate. There is no preparation necessary for the contest except a fair knowledge of the headlines of the newspapers and magazines which lie around the smoking room each day. The contest here has a twofold purpose, to discover just how closely Bryn Mawr students follow the news of the day, and to stimulate their inter- est in what i is happening outside of college. Time has been very generous in its offers of prizes and Dr. Fenwick and the News board have poted to dis- tribute the money in many small prizes, feeling that in 1 this way everyone will have an equal chance. Such.a contest, requiring as it does, no work, will make a very welcome variation from» May Day work in the lull before the final dash. If it is a Success, more tests with greater scope will follow next year.

THE COLLEGE NEWS Page Three Fatal Woman Returns ~In Modern Art Film First Movie of Mary Pickford Sentimental, But Expressive And Well-Acted INDIANS ARE AUTHENTIC Goodhart, April 8.—At their third showing, the films selected by the Mu- seum of Modern Art Film Library traced the development of the motion picture from 1912 to 1918 as shown through sentimental comedy, Western drama, slapstick and melodrama. At this period producers were faced with _the problem of making a silent film understandable and varied enough so that it would not become monotonous. * Consequently symbolism of various arts was found in the four pictures presented. : The first movie on the program, The New York Hat, was the Griffith production that introduced America’s sweetheart. Modern audiences have learned to expect that a pill of obvious morality lurks behind every sugar- coating of curls, and are consequently prone to be cautiously derisive. But on Wednesday night Mary Pickford showed that she had more than sweet- ness and curls. Even under the shadow of a-hat that had equal pos- sibilities of being either a flower-shop or an aviary, her gestures were ex- pressive and moving. Griffith. found her responsive to his new system of direction, where he abandoned the narrative, theatrical way of photo- graphing a picture and inserted close- ups and abrupt changes of scene. The Fugitive, an Ince production, was an early Western with ear-marks that survive even unto this day—a hero (Bill Hart) of undisputable viril- ity but little brain, a vicious road- house, where drinking and vice prevail, and men on horseback who pursue each other, but the tragic finale was something of a shock to those of us who were brought up to believe in happy endings. Ince used cut-backs with great liberality, that process where a vision of the Western belle REAR I er ONS REESE I smoke for pleasure, my minds at rest Keep Off the Grandstand Students must not under any 4 conditions. climb up on _ the grandstand while it is under construction. The temporary scaffolding and the iron work lying around make it dangerous. arises before the hero as he is being riddled with,the bullets of red-skins. It also sgems likely that he was re- sponsible for a good part of the sym- bolism—so necessary to silent films— that was crystallized in early West- erns. The complicated plot of The Fugitive was greatly simplified by the villain’s moustache, which plainly in- dicated his role. The Clever Dummy, a good slapstick comedy produced by Mack Sennet, in- volved the mistaken identities .of a dummy and a janitor and gave rise to a series of brilliantly timed chases, elaborately confused situations and satisfying physical violence of one sort or another. meds, A Fool There Was was the most potent of the four films presented. Theda Bara, through her portrayal of a belle dante:sans merci, incorporated the word “vamp” into the English language. She gets her claws into a highly respectable citizen while cross- ing the Atlantic and soon reduces him to a condition of white-haired and fumbling imbecility by feeding him dope. His wife remains faithful throughout all of his various stages of unattractiveness, but the vampire is victorious and John finally dies at her feet. (“Even as you and I,” the! subtitle suggests brightly.) Symbol-! ism is developed.in a more abstract way by Frank Powell in this film. A| sunset over the ocean represents the end of happiness—although the waves happen to be flowing backwards. Bara’s pose with claws extended méans that. the vampire in her is about to emerge.

Such colleges, conferences or lectures of faculty to alumni are held each year in at least fifty colleges and universities in the United States. The Smith Alumnae College, now five years old, is the type which Bryn Mawr expects to organize. Directly after Commencement the alumnae move to the dormitories’ where they live for five days. During this time lectures are given by the faculty, and discussions are held after the lectures and at meals. For the past four years the subjects of the lectures have been contemporary countries. Only those members of the faculty involved in the subject of the lectures neces- sarily stay after Commencement. The Vassar alumnae hold a forum to which are asked speakers who are not always professors from the col- lege. Princeton has a two-day alumni conference and Lafayette has a longer Alumni College, like that of Smith. The Bryn Mawr alumnae: will not begin to organize a college this year because so many of them who are coming to May Day from a dis- tance will be unable to return for Commencement and the Alumnae Col- lege. Such an institution is not only instructive, but it gives the alumnae a chance to know the professors pro- fessionally as well as socially.

Give _ Explained at Council ‘Comments on Graduate School In Address by, Dr. Smith, ’02, To the Alumnae FELLOWSHIPS ARE MISSED At the annual Council of the Bryn Mawr Alumnae Dr. Marion P. Smith, 02, spSke on the. comprehensives, the junior year abroad, the Graduate School, the European Fellowship and other items of interest to the alumnae. Excerpts from Mrs. Smith’s speech . are printed below: The outstanding academic event this year is the completion of the plans for the General Examination in the major subject—popularly known as “the Comprehensive.” The plans go into effect this spring; the present junior class will be the first to take the general examination in May, 1937, and the present sophomore class, the first to make their own plans for su- pervised reading and special studies. Every student is required to take the general examination. As soon as she has decided on her major subject she will discuss her plans with the head of her department and be as- signed to some member of the depart- ment for consultation as to courses and supervised reading. One of the student’s units during her senior year will be free for general reading and preparation for the examination. After the first-year course, semester exam- inations will be omitted in the major subject. In general, the plans submitted by the departments are fairly uniform. There will be three three-hour papers in the general examination. Of these, one (or two) will be of a general character and two (or one) will be specialized or limited in scope; e. g., a French major will take a general language examination, an examina- tion in some period of French Litera- ture, and an examination in a single “genre,” such as drama, the novel, or lyric poetry. The student’s courses and reading-from the end of her sophomore year will be chosen with regard to the period of literature in which she will be examined, or the “genre” which she is especially inter- ested in studying. Whether this system will make for more or less specialization at the ex- pense of general information and wider interests, is a matter of specu- lation. Mrs. Smith ‘docks of the popularity of the junior year abroad. There are four French majors spending their junior year in France at present. The summer term is now spent at Tours instead of Nancy. Next year there will probably be one German major studying in Munich, and possibly a Renaissance language major in both Spain and Italy. In speaking of the Graduate School, Mrs. Smith remarked that the plan of giving the Graduate students a hall of its own was successful. Individual Graduate students know fewer _un- dergraduates and less of the under- graduate college life than they did when they were scattered among the six halls of residence; but new and pleasant contacts are made and the atmosphere of Radnor is just different enough to be stimulating. We greatly miss the stimulus of}} A shrink- | } the European Fellowships. age of funds in the last few years has reduced them to one. Also we have lost all but one of the scholarships for foreign women which did so much to make the Graduate School cosmo- politan.

It was de- cided that Miss Siegler should select ant. As only tWenty-eight members were present, the election of a secre- tary, treasurer and a secretary of pub- lic affairs was postponed to-a later date. Several new members joined, bring- ing, the total membership to approxi- mately one-quarter of the college. One-half of the funds received through the fees for membership (a quarter) are sent back to the home post, Princeton... The other half is used to further its:cause at college.

They are likewise considering a national convention dur- ing the summer. The March of Time has just released a feature on this movement. Alumnae Association Has Many Activities Continued from Page One classes, geographically, etc. Recently an occupational file has been made. A post card questionnaire asking name, address and occupation of all ‘alumnae is sent out by the office every year. Occasionally a more elaborate series of questions is prepared, the results of which are published in the Alumnae Register. The Register is a publication put out by the Alumnae Association and the college jointly. It is issued through the college Publi- cation Office, but the two organiza- tions bear the expense equally. Just as the primary function of the Alumnae Office is record keeping, that of the association itself is providing financial assistance to the college. It does this in a number of ways: through Scholarships, the Loan Fund and special drives, such as the Million Dollar Minimum conducted during the present year. A lack of financial aid for entering students moved the alumnae to insti- tute the Regional Scholarships. The first student to receive such an award entered college in 1922. She gradu- ated summa cum laude in 1926 and was awarded the European Fellow- ship for that year. The scholarships are awarded on the basis of financial need and promise of a successful col- Spain, and, in return, “to send four Bryn Mawr graduates to those coun- tries. The exchange students receive no stipend, all their expenses are paid and they, on their part, give language lessons four hours: weekly.

The scholarships are not for a fixed amount as is sometimes thought, range from one hundred to six hun- dred dollars. They last from one to four years, depending on the academic success of’ the recipient and the state of the funds raised in her district. There is usually a decrease in the amount given, however, after the ex- Washington, where Senator Maverick | ceptionally expensive period of the freshman year. The activity of the alumnae in re- gard to scholarships is not restricted, however, to those made from funds collected solely by district alumnae. Bryn Mawr is the only woman’s col- lege where the awarding of regular college scholarships is in any way de- termined by the alumnae. When an application for a scholarship is filed in the office of the Dean, a duplicate copy is filed in the Alumnae Office. The Chairman of the -Alumnae Scho- larship Committee reads over the ap- plications, obtains reports of the stu- dents concerned from each of their professors, and then consults with the faculty and the President. In this way a large share in the selection of college scholarship students is taken by the alumnae. The Loan Fund was established in 1891 and has operated every year since then, although no special appeals for donations have been made in big- drive years. In 1925 the fund com- mittees were reorganized and the name Alumnae Fund was adopted. The Fund Committee solicits funds for the college, and endeavors to direct be- quests. into the right channels. Vari- ous well-meant’ but unwanted gifts have often been averted by a timely word from the committee. The official organ of the Alumnae Association is the Bulletin. It was formerly a quarterly, but since 1921 has appeared nine times a year, no issues being published for August, September and October.. During the early years of its publication the Bulletin was subscribed to separately. Since the early 1920’s it has been in- cluded in the yearly dues of the asso- ciation, which are three dollars. It goes to eighty per cent of those who have received an A. B. from Bryn Mawr. The editorship, which is a part-time job, is at present filled by Marjorie Thompson of the class of 1912. The editorial board is volun- tary. Class notes are contributed by the class editors, and are published just as they are sent in except for changes of spelling and punctuation which we find, to our surprise, are often edieaity The rest of the Bulletin is given over to articles by various alumnae, members of the fac- ulty, Miss Park and an, undergraduate representative. The officers of the association are elected by all members from a group nominated by a special nominating committee. In addition to an Execu- tive Board, district councillors, etc.,’ the Alumnae Secretary (at present Miss Alice Hawkins, 1907) is elected in this way. The secretary is in charge of the Alumnae Office, through which all official business of the asso- ciation is handled.

Letitia Brown’s outstanding’ per- formances since her college career be- gan have been as the villain fn the Freshman Show and as Chairman of the Sunday Service Committee, from which it will e#sily be seen that her talents are most varied. . Incidentally she has been a cum laude from the time of her first mid-years. « She went to the Windsor School in Boston, where she lives, for five.years, but her devotion is to Westover, which she attended for three years and -from which she was graduated in 1933. She entered Bryn Mawr under the famous Plan D (D stands for Depression, of course!), which depends chiefly on recommendation by. the school. She took no College Board examinations except for the inevitable Scholastic Aptitude Test. At school she won the award for General Scholarship, but she found time during her work to take part in dramatics, in which she has always been much interested. There are rumors of her having rivaled Walter Hampden as Cyrano. Among her other activities at Westover, she'in- cluded membership in the Dorcas So- ciety and on the editorial board of the school magazine. She headed the dele- gation from Westover to the North- field Conference. — She has followed much the same lines at college. All those who had masterpiece of the Class of 87, Never Darken My Door Again, will long remember the terrifying aspect of Miss Brown, effectively disguised’ by large, black mustachios and a sin- ister opera cape. When the smoke from the show cleared away she was discovered to be secretary of the class, a position which she filled so success- fully that she was elected vice-presi- dent during her junior year. In the interim she was sophomore member of the Self-Government Board. , In the spring of her freshman year she became assistant to Sarah Fland- ers, ’35, chairman of the Sunday Ser- vice Committee, and she was duly elected chairman a year later. Among the various other aspects of her college career have been a brief, but very successful sojourn on the board of the College News and the part of the king in the ill-fated Cymbeline. All things considered, we feel certain that the league will have a smooth and inspired voyage under her guid- ance. Syracuse University will receive ap- proximately $6,000 from the Federal 'Works Progress administration as its share in an~ educational research project sponsored by the United States Office of Education.

Sylvia Evans is the second science major in the Class of 1937 to hold a prominent position in the college. She is majoring in biology, but in spite of laboratory periods she devotes much time to athletics. Her college career has consisted of being on one team af-' ter another, while she was also been fulfilling offices of the class as well. Miss Evans went to the German- town Friends’ School, near her home, and was graduated in 1933. She was captain of the hockey. and lacrosse, teams and secretary of her class there. Since she entered college her activi- ties have been varied. Her talents for construction and general carpen- try were discovered in time for the Freshman Show and she was the head of the construction for the Glee Club production in the following year. She was freshman member of the Under- graduate Association, Class Secretary been secretary of the Athletic Asso- ciation. Last spring she was elected sports. editor of the College News. With all this she has managed to do credit work, and has maintained her oun laude average since freshman year. As for her athletic record in col- | lege, it is an imposing one. She has been an outstanding hockey player, one of the most dependable members of the team for the last three years,.., i as a sophomore, and this year she ne She has been on the basketball squad and last year she ‘made both’ the swimming. and lacrosse teams.

The Home Fire Division of the Vet- erans of Future wars have also de- clined to take part in the activities, in consideration of its “non-pacifistic, non-militaristic”’ platform, the efficacy of which, it feels, lies in ridicule rather than in serious action. .

Peace must be established with propaganda as vivid as that of war. Here is a chance to take a leading part in a movement to “discard worn-out theories and, con- ventions and to substitute a more ‘in- telligent method than war for settling disputes and misunderstandings be- tween nations.” ‘This summer and next winter, groups of young people known as Emergency Peace Volunteers will en- gage in active service in rural com- munities all over the country, under the auspices of the Youth Section of the Emergency Peace Campaign. They will visit these communities not to tell people what should be done, but to work with them in doing it. When they go back to their col- leges and homes in the fall they will leave behind them not only friends and pleasant memories, but the beginnings of permanent peace organizations. Volunteers will be given one month’s training, beginning the middle of June, at Institutes of International Relations held in three places: one on the Pacific Coast, one at Duke Uni- versity, Durham, N. C., and one at Grinnell College, Grinnell, Iowa, These institutes will provide an in- tensive course. of study in interna- tional__relations; analyze problems which confuse international life to- day; show the underlying causes be- hind dominant world trends; and in- spire a dedication to the social strug- gle toward an improved international order. The institutes will also discuss and set forth ways and means by which Emergency Peace Volunteers can best use this information in rural com- munities where they will spend the summer. Special attention will be given to field work technique as well as to physical and mental exercise and recreation. ’ groups of five or six young men and women, each group with one adult leader, will be sent out to different parts of the country. Each unit will settle in a strategic rural area for eight or ten weeks, live under the simplest conditions and share the ordinary incidental tasks. In each -conimunity the Peace Vol- unteers will lead discussion and forum groups; organize demonstrations; ar- range exhibits; produce plays, using as much local talent as possible; sell literature bearing on_ international problems and social and : economic questions related to them; contact newspapers and radio stations, young people’s societies, labor groups and farm organizations, and generally de- velop intelligent consideration of the substitution ef peaceful processes for the war method of settling controver- sial questions. In placing the groups, special at- tetion will be given to localities which are politically significant. Volunteers will have the records of United States Representatives and Senators, as they affect questions of peace and war. They will not engage in political cam- paigns, as such, but they will see that the records of the Congressmen really become familiar to the citizens who must vote for or against them. The Peace Volunteers will act essentially as “good neighbors for the summer” who share in the community’s own pursuit of accurate information. Peace Volunteers should be between At the end of the training period.] 20 and 35 years of age. They are wel- comed, whatever their race or creed. They may join for three months, six nypnths or for longer: periods. The expenses of each volunteer—in- cluding transportation from and back to his own home—is figured at $60 a month, including the training period and maintenance in the field. Half this sum’ will be borne by the Emergency Peace Campaign itself. The other half, wherever possible, should be paid by the volunteer him- self—or by his parents or groups which care to support the work of the campaign by contributing in this more personal manner. If necessary, cam- paign officials are prepared to help interest schools, service clubs, churches or other local groups in securing financial support for Emergency Peace Volunteers. Thirty dollars is far less than a family would’ spend to support an idle daughter during the summer. Harold Chance, who for the past three years’ has directed the New England Institute of International Relations at Wellesley College, is di- recting the work of the Emergency Peace Campangn Youth Section. In the Peace Volunteer organization he sees a new opportunity for young peo-- ple to undertake active service . for peace and to broaden their own back- grounds. The situation in the world today, demands constructive action rather than mere négative opposition to war, he insists.

(—ACP) EGGS AND TELEGRAMS ARRIVE FOR EASTER No one caught sight.of the Easter bunny, but he seems to have done véry well on the sly. Easter eggs arrived during the week in boxes, and the Western Union boy peddled back and forth all day Sunday.~ “Say it with flowers” seemed to be the system most Happy Easter wishers used. We were well supplied by Jeanette’s with all kinds, particularly corsages, which ranged from the _ gardenia standby to vari-colored orchids. (Note: if he sent you flowers from away, he loves you more than two dollars worth, because there is a new ruling that no telegraph orders will be ac- cepted for less than that amount.) A lucky few got little live chickens two or three days old, painted in the gayest Easter colors, bright yellow and purple. To our relief as human- itarians we found that the dye does not hurt the chicken in the least—it|. grows out with the feathers. We are waiting breathlessly to see if their eggs come colored! Easter, we discover, brings out our church-going tendencies. It began on' Good Friday, when, sitting in the Inn, | we saw a long file going down the hill in their Good, Friday best. We went scouting to see-how seri- ously the Bryn Mawr girl takes the Easter bonnet question, and found she does not consider it at all: Not that she does not feel the spring urge to flowers on it—she does. something about it before Easter. She gets the clothes fever the week before vacation, according to Jeanne Betts. A course in etiquette offered by Muhlenberg College, Allentown, Pa., has attracted 298 students.
