May.-A-vote was taken and the mo-
tion for two tea-dances was carried.

Miss Baer was elected to choose and

head a committee for the Varsity Dra-
matics dance, and a faculty reception
committee was agreed upon.

The next question up for discussion

was whether Bryn Mawr should join}

eration of America) this year.

the fact, and that there were certain
definite advantages in it. For instance
by sending a representative to the an-
nual conference we. see the problems
of other colleges and keep in touch
with their movements.

was able to make some very valuable
and helpful suggestions to the other
students. After a short discussion a
vote was taken which’ decided that
Bryn-Mawr-was-to join N.S. F. A.
again, ‘but with more spirit and inter-
est than previously shown. The Un-
dergraduate Association Board was
also empowered to bring the. archaic

. book of Undergraduate laws up to

date.

The meeting was then turned over
‘to. the Self-Government Association,
but the questions to be discussed were
not brought to the vote since a quorum
was not present. The executive board
wished to be empowered to clarify the
smoking rule by rewriting it. A ten-

tative vote on the suggestion that the}

rule of no bridge-playing in the smok-
ing rooms on Sundays be changed
seemed to favor the change. The third
question brought: before the meeting

was whether men should be allowed.

in the girls’. rooms unchaperoned on
weekdays. The-.ensuing discussion
centered on two points: that of having
special permission for weekday guests,
and changing the hours slightly for she
convenience of those who are dressing
after athletics. The object of having
special permission on weekdays was
pointed out as giving opportunities of
checking up on the male visitors in the
halls. Miss Thompson suggested that
men be allowed to have tea in the
halls on Saturday and Sunday after-
noons without special permission,. and

with permission. No conclusions were
reached on this. subject,.and the meet-
ing was adjourned.

Education Is Not Offered
~ °On a Silver Platter

 

On Tuesday, February 11, :-Miss
Millicent Carey spoke at chapel in the
Music Room on the complaints and
criticisms of the students which have
been brought to the ‘Dean’s office.
There have been more changed courses
this. year than ever before and this
presents an extremely. interesting prob-
lem since it shows up the student, en-
lightens the administrator by throwing
light on the curriculum needs, and es-
tablishes certain opinions on what ed-
ucational institutions should give. The
first two points need little discussion.
The complaining student often shows
by her criticisms that it is*she whois
lacking, and she is in reality criticizing
herself. Plans are being made by the
Faculty and Student Curriculum Com-

mittees for a complete revision¢of the |:

present curriculum. In many cases the
student complaints that there is too
much to do in short courses, and that
there are too many lectures’ in some
courses are completely justified. The
most common criticisms of the educa-
tional plan are that some of the pro-
fessors are dull, that many courses
contain too much ground work and de-
tail and do not meet the student’s in-
terests, and that present courses are
far_too remote from: life.

It is‘a-strange and unfortunate. truth
that certain students cast the job—of
giving ‘themselves an education upon
the college, especially in courses that
have interviews. It is as though they
said to the college, “Well, here I am.
What are you going to do about it?”
This attitude is based on an entirely
mistaken educational philosophy. ° In
the first place alf arguments must be
conducted on the premise that Bryn
Mawr is a _ spetialized college, and
those who come here know.that. The
students. are carefully selected from
among those wanting: to do decent,
thorough, scholarly work at college,
and not to sit around and talk about
life and take courses in’ which, all of
human knowledge -is« ~ synthesized,
Bryn Mawr wants to train people with
a scholarly point of view, ‘and feels
that the best education for a student
lies in the honest, hard-analysis of the
subjects she is taking. With such an
education she:is completely equipped
to do first rate graduate work, and
also best equipped to do other things
since she knows how to think, to use
any materials as tools, and to work
‘The objections
to the dull professors do not seem well-
founded, for the teachers ‘have been
chosen as. best fitted to present the mate-
rial which the student wants. She has
no right to complain because the profes-
sor does not put over this important
material with high-powered salesman-
ship. Because the teacher does: not in-
spire his class, individual student re-
sponsibility does not end. If a“stu-

{dent feels that she is getting nothing

from her education, and. would be bet-
ter doing something else, she is a mis-
fit-and does not belong in college.
That ideal educational quality which
the student is seeking must be supple-
mented by her own. efforts.
Whitehead’ in his “Essay on the Aims
of Education” sums the situation up
very well: “There’is no royal road to
learning through an airy path of—bril-
liant generalizations.”

Singular Success

 

Miss Sanzewitch Charms With
‘Symphonic Variations’ of
Franck.

 

{DON JUAN OUTSTANDING

 

On Wednesday; February ‘12, 1930, in

tute Orchestra gave one of the out-
standing concerts of the year. Under
Emil Mlynarski as conductor, the young
musicians showed delightful: warmth of
feeling and exuberant. enthusiasm..From
the sustained beauty of the second move-
ment+of the Brthms to the thrilling free-
dom “of the! Strauss, the players were
sensitive to the peculiar. value oi every
phrase. Remarkable for their oneness in
movement and spirit in the numbers for
orchestra alone, they were equally skil-
ful in combining with solo instruments,
They caught up and developed themes
with fulness and color, and with nice
feeling for the balance between orchestra
and individual artist. ae

‘The peak of a beautiful program was
undoubtedly the Symphonic Variations
of Cesar Franck, the piano part played
by Tatiana de Sanzewitch. From the
first Crisp, clear-cut notes, Miss Sanze-
witch showed herself complete mistress
of-her-instrument and feader of her or-
chestra, which responded to her shades
of feeling as if inspired. The aloof ‘glory
of the piece’ caught the young pianist,
body and spirit, until every’ note was
charged .with rare significance: From
subdued introductions and rising devel-
opments, Miss Sanzewitch swept to bril-
carrying not only the
orchestra, but her entire audience with
yt bate

High as was the level of Miss Sanze-
witch’s work, the rest of the program
certainly did not suffer from comparison
The opening number was-Beethoven’s
Overture . to “Egmont.” The heroic
themes, although fluent, lacked the vigor
of utterance which was to characterize
the rest of the program, and to dominate
the Strauss in- particular.

The first movement of the Brahms
Double Concerto, ‘intellectual and intri-
cate in character, was difficult:-to handle.
_The violin themes of Miss Poska and
Mr. Machula too often were lost against
the orchestra, and the effect, while flow-
ing and thoughtful, was lacking in con-
viction. In the Andante :and Vivace,
however; thé orchestra reached’ the
height which it was to maintain there-
after. Less complex in. structure, these
movements were also shorter and easier

Mrs, . Manning Biclaieas

Tuition Rise :

 

“My main object is calling you to-
gether this morning,” began Mrs.
Manning in chapel on Thursday, “was
to announce that in December the Di-
rectors had voted that the fee for
undergraduate tuition be raised one
hundred dollars and the fee for gradu-
ate tuition: be raised fifty dollars.”
Mrs. Manning said that this anounce-
ment was one that might be made al-
most as a matter of routine, since we
are gradually becoming accustomed to
the increased cost of’ living, It has
been the general policy of the college
in any financial crisis to ask for sup-
port from the Alumnae and the friends
of the college outside or else to, bor-
row money. Only when the annual
budget of the college has proven too
small, and when the inevitable rise in
prices has made it necessary, have the
fees increased. This year, however,
the announcement of the increase in
the tuition fee marks’an important de-
velopment in. the financial policy of the
college which every student here ought
to understand.

The step has been taken after a
serious reconsideration of the whole
problem by Miss Park and the Direc-
tors. Comparison has shown that the
cost—of—teaching it” Bryn Mawr is
higher than in the other women’s col-
Jegés=It ~is“apparently impossible to
meet the gap between’ tuition fees and
teaching expenses solely by increase
in endowment,’ There-are_a—number
of reasens why the cost -of-education
at Bryn Mawr must be higher than at
the other colleges. First of all,. ex-
pénsive arrangements have been made
for taking care of students, such as the
system of dining. in separate halls;

Players to Present

Conkle’s ‘Sparkin’

 

“Sparkin’,” a‘one-act ‘play, by E. P.
Conkle; will be given by the Bryn Mawr
Players in Ggodhart Hall, Thursday
evening, February 20, at 9:30 o'clock.
The play “is one of a seriés. which Mr.
Conkle calls “Crick Bottom Plays—
Sketches of Mid-Weitern., Life.” “The
author,” says. Barrett Clark,-in his pre-
face to the collection of plays, ‘‘based his
work ‘entirely upon the life he knew.
Until he was nineteen -he had not trav-
elledsmore than twenty-two miles from
his home, a typical town in Nebraska.

“Tt is perhaps: unnecessary to say that
not all the people in Nebraska and its
neighboring States are like these he de-
picts in his plays. Hi¢ interest reverts
to the tillers of the-soil who drive teams

of horses and-not trattors. They came
from Tlinois’ and Indiana, some even
from Virginia and North Carolina.

Their quaint and sometimes rich” idio-
matic speech, like their religion and their
philosophy, have now almost disappeared.
They ‘didn’t read much,’ Mr. Conkle
tells-me,‘but-they-were wise. And they
have now been relegated to the past,
along with their coal-oil lamps, their
spring buckboards, and their homespun
clothes. Their daughters and sons are
ashamed of them. I’ve known and loved
these people and have thought them
werth recording, They shouldn't be
doomed to the great oblivion that is to
engulf the rest of us’.”

| ANIMAL: IN SMALL PART

 

1933 offered to 1931 and others
liberal entertainment in the form of
their “Palpitating Pinafores.” Fresh-
man show was presented with avowed
humility, but it scorned tradition and
ignored the- unfortunate animal until
the bitterend. Further, the show was
not a continuous palpitation as the
name implied; it was a series of “skits”
and “specialties,” each giving evidence
of careful organization within itself,
but not assisting the unity of the show

animal. The faults ofthe show were
perhaps advantages ‘in view of enter-
tainment; the fact that the animal was
thrust aside, gave opportunity for
greater variation in material; the fact
that the show was broken up into nu-
merous unrelated parts, allowed better
exploitation of talent. Skits are dan-

have been othérwise flat lines with
clever, and .well-drilled songs and
dances, in evident emulation of the
professional stage. If the progress
was-at times slow and pointless, it was
counteracted partially by the happy in-
sertion of choruses. Specialties are
apt to cheapen a performance,sand, al-
though they were pleasant interludes
and served as fillers-in, they might
have been better introduced into the
action itself. The show could not rely
on spectacle for its effect; the skits
made no particular artistic demands
upon their background, but: one scenic
achievement was produced—the im-
pressive (though translucent) wall of
Pembroke (or was it Rockefeller?);
the costumes of the choruses were
effectively designed, but otherwise
costuming was a negligible factor. .As
a production, ‘“Palpitating Pinafores”
was, carried through with smoothness
and assurancé, despite the lack of co-

The curtain song was woettiy of
note because the words could actually
be heard, and laughter could therefore
be genuine. As to the palpitation of
the pinafores, it was confined to the
opening chorus—ah original creation of

THE VICIOUS ‘VEHICLE

The. vaulted ‘arch. of Pembroke
has served its day. Its retirement
from active service began, perhaps,
when its position as dignified en-
trance-to-the-college-was- changed
to humble back door. - But now,
alas, though it remain a thing. of
beduty forever, no longer .can it cast
its shadow over friends and_ foes
driving out beneath it. Through
it no longer will the postman’s
whistle, joyous sound, echo to our
expectant ears. And though many’
feet will continue to pass, by, the
outside world is barréd’ forever.
The vicious vehicle will have access
to. the campus no more.

News from Other Colleges

An Open Question
“America’s youth-“goes to. college for
reasons other than those for which the
college was intended, particularly to gain
social prestige,” said Dr. )
land Angell, president of Yale Univer-
sity, at the annual dinner of the Colgate

James Row-

Alumni.

“Our colleges suffer from an excess of
social prestige,” he declared, “which con-
stitutes a very complex problem.”

Dr. Angell claimed that hundreds of
students have been drawn into college

who have no rightful place there, and
who have come only for the social pres-

tige which is acknowledged as a flagrant
enticement. The time has come to face
this: fact and to consider it.

He pointed out that the universities
and colleges are directly responsible for
the failure of sgraduates who would’ have
done better had they not gone to col-
Jege,-as well as for achievements of those
who: have -been more. fit to attend, and
who have succeeded.

“Do the colleges of today create dis-
cipliged characters, are they disciplin-
ing intelligence and cultivating taste?”
asked Dr. Angell. He answered .by
claiming that “if they do, they are worth
still more than they cost.. We can af-
ford anything for a purpose that we
feel is fundamentally worth while.” But
the problem remains to be solved—and
to be solved openly.—Hunter Bulletin.

Clemens Kraus in Frankfort and Bruno

Walter in Berlin.

“The European critics who pronounced
him ‘the. greatest pianist of the rising
generation’ were corroborated in their
estimate of Horowitz by the ecomiums of
the American music critics, following the
young man’s arrival in this country.
He made his debut on January 12, 1928,
with the New York Philharmonic Or-
chestra, in Carnegie Hall, and received
a whirlwind of ovation. During his first
American season Horowitz made thirty-
six. appearances in eighty-eight days, in-
cluding nineteen performances with or-

‘|chestras in New. York, Philadelphia, St. |

The skit of, “The Soap
Box Saint” was only one part new
and two parts old; although it had

possibiilties in its situation in heaven,
it fell back with a dull thud upon the
eternal “gay -nineties.” An interval of
solo tap-dancing was light and pretty.
The, rambling extension of “The Old
South” through minutes devoted to the
intricacies of Southern accent and hos-
pitality was only enlivened by the sing-
ing darkies which the plot contrived,
with some difficulty, to introduce. The
next specialty was an interlude of
partner dancing that was delightfully
graceful. The one skit that was espe-
cially Srigttiat in its humor and se
entation was “It was so alcohol, o
fleas in the Ritz” (with apologies
Gertrude Stein); its point indeed was
in its. poirtléssness;. it smacked of
the “The New Yorker” in its ludi-
crous take-off of the Lettres of. today,
and ‘the implications of its meaning-
less lines.

The auction of the “palpitating
posters” served ‘as intermission and the
spontaneous wit of the auctioneers was
an entertaining contrast to the studied
wit of the skits. “Street Scene” re-
opened the show; the two-storied wall
of familiar: gray stones, with the actors
behind its. windows, gave a new at-
mosphere to the reiteration of local

Sheriff’s ‘Journey’s End’ Is

«Fourtiey's End,” ‘the ‘sowertil war
play that has been playing. more than a
year to crowded houses in New York

pany the other day for the. cadets’ at

ended twelve years ago is a faint, boy-

go out from his dugout into the sure

Juan; opened with a_ tremendous

splendid prelude to a vivid, programmis-
tic number. The restless strivings of Don
Juan’s nature were ‘shown in many-col-
ored passages depicting his alternating
moods of fulfilment and _ bitterness.
Tumultuous scenes, made emphatic by
the percussion ‘and brass, shifted to
movements of lyrical contentment, where
the harps and strings predominated. The
final climax of the full orchestra’ gave
place to the last muted ‘whisperings: of
the instruments in the death of Don
Juan. In sympathy, of interpretation and
mastery of mood the Don Juan was
outstanding.

The program ended with Fredrich
Smetana’s Overture to “The Bartered
Bride,” a number rather wanting in color
and feeling tone, but full of interesting
and pleasant phrases—-an excellent con-
clusion to a. program which in selection,
arrangement, and’ execution was above
criticism. The enthusiasm of the audi-
ence was indicative of great admiration
for the accomplished’ young musicians,

which make education at Bryn Mawr
expensive are the very factors which
we value most and wauld not want
to give up. ‘
Certainly we can not go beyond a
certain point in asking outsiders to
bridge the gap of the deficiency in the
budget. So the Directors decided that
from now on it would be better for the
students to bear.a larger portion of the
expense ghan heretofore. Of course
this might mean that we would come
to be regarded as a “rich girl’s col-
lege.” This danger the Board of Di-
rectors has met by providing for the
appointment of a new officer to visit
schools to explain the policy of the
college to them and to assure them
that scholarships or adjustments in the
scale of fees will be available for those
students whom we wish to have here
but who‘are not able to meet the in-
creased cost. Future increases in_tui-
tion will take place very gradually and
may not even affect the students now
“in college. Studies are to be made
before it is decided how high the tui-
tion fee must eventually be placed.

This increase in fees will only mean
that the total cost for students in in-
expensive rooms will be about on a
level with that at Vassar, Smith and
Mt. Holyoke. The importance of this
new policy is that it makes. it possible
to look ahead and plan for improve-
ments which will allow the college to
take part in the progressive educational
movements of our era. Women’s col-
leges must keep pace with the heav-
ily gifted and highly endowed men’s
colleges .... “And it is only by put-
ting our financial policy on a sounder
footing than inthe past,’’ concluded
Mrs. Manning, “that Bryn Mawr can/|
hope to keep its place in the educa-

_tional world.” ;

To Sift Student Failures
At Rutgers University

 

Special to The New York Times.
‘New Brunswick, N. J., Feb. 14—A
special committee was appointed today
y Dr. Walter T. Marvin, Dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences at Rut-
gers University, to study the cause_of
the unusual number of failures in the
recent. mid-terms, ~ particularly in the
freshman class. The faculty approved
the Via st ot

The survey was asked by the student
council, “not in any .attempt to lower the
scholastic standard” in the college, but
to_determine whether the faculty had
not been too severe in. marking the ex-
amination papers. Most of the- failures
were in mathematics, physics and for-

- eign languages, but the faculty members

maintained ‘that the courses are no more |

difficult now than they were last year.—

_ Entrants Immature
_ Students entering €ollege today-are “as
immature morally.zand as crude socially
as they are undeveloped intellectually,”
Dean Herbert E. Hawkes, of Columbia
College, declared recently in a lecture at
the McMillin Academic Theatre. The
lecture, on the subject of college ad-
ministration, was one of a. series ar-
ranged in connection with the one hun-
dred and*seventy-fifth anniversary of the
university.
“If this is true,” the dean continued,
“it is a.condition, not a theory, that con-
fronts us. If the college is ative to its
duty it must recognize the human condi-
tions that. actually face it and deal with
them. Discipline should be approached
today from the angle of moral education
of the individual rather than of his pun-
ishment.”
Dean Hawkes, criticizing antiquated
ideas of discipline, said that many col-
leges had not been “penetrated” by an
educational idea for twenty-five years.

Dean Hawkes devoted much of his
lecture to discussion of the trends™of
college athletics: today. The “athletic
hysteria,” as he termed it, will die out
slowly but surely, he ‘maintained and will
take a westward course, finally “passing
out into the Pacific Ocean.”

In stipport of this prediction Dean.
Hawkes said that in many of the Eastern
colleges undergraduate interest in ath-
letics had become “distinctly dampened.”
Twenty-five years ago, he said, under-
graduate interest was the. chief suppért
of intercollegiate sport. With this inter-
est eliminated they become popular spec-
tacles and gradually lose their identity
with the college, he declared.

In place of the present system Dean
Hawkes predicted a _faculty-controlled

| policy which will make of athletics and

physical-education—-an—integral--part~of
the. educational_function—of the college
and accept responsibility for the physi-
cal, just as the college now does for the
intellectual, development of its students.

The greatest need of American educa-
‘ion, according td the youth-ul president
of Chicago University, Robert ‘Maynard
Hutchins, is more money for faculty
members to “make education respectable
and to enable colleges and universities to
compete with business for the nation’s
best minds. :

“In the past twenty-five years,” he
says, “the best minds of America have
been drawn. into — business. Hence, -
American. education faces a new prob-
lem in competition—competition with big
business for the best men. If you spread
$t00,000,000 over all the worthy colleges
in the land you might increase each pro-
fessor’s salary as much as $1.34. You
might as well throw the money in the '
lake. But spend it on the key uniyersi-
ties and you will develop peacemakers
that will revitalize American education.”
