WE. INITIATE
The influx of mankind through
the portals of Rockefeller arch on
the day of Varsity play was, per-
haps, one of the longest’ steps which

our own particular collegiate gen-}

eration will - witness during ‘its
campus life. ~The fact. that men
came to college in past years, were
formally signed up for “talks”, and
were sat’down in nooks and cran-
nies to exert their powers of repar-
tee ‘hardly qualifies our statement.
Dancing, in itself, was the gbjection
of the powers that were in the old
days. Amazing it is that the death

of fhis prejudice was “not” recog}

nized long ago; the fact that it was
not- makes.,the inauguration “of a
new eta of normalcy’all the more
' Convincing. It is*startling to. real-
ize how. young ‘are mariy of our
campus privilegés; yearly the life at
college approaches the norm of the
kind of life that one would lead
at home. ' Regulations are becom-

ing less: stringent and more’ sane. :

The fact that Bryn Mawr has sanc-
tioned and carried through a tea
dance, on its’ very campus, 1s but
another milestone in the good fe-
gime of a self-government of com-
mon sense. Long may it progress!
