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.” ; i Marriage Is Mere Sideline for Co-Eds University co-eds consider marriage a mere sideline to their real profession, it.} was proved by _ vocational statistics gathered from women of organized houses at the University of Oklahoma. Of the 400 from whom reports were obtained, only 11 listed marriage as their aim in life. Everything from aviation to housewife was included on the lists ‘which were presented to the girls asking them to number their choice of ten possible voca- tions and to add to the list any profes- sion not already noted. Come what will, the idea of being a school teacher still holds its own inthe minds of co-eds who look forward to future livelihood. Seventy-eight women placed some phase of public school teach- ing as first choice. Of these, 45 preferred high school positions. . — Fifteen girls aspire to jobs as foreign buyer for merchandise dealers. Eight would be experts in women’s fashions. All types of art work ranked high, with interior decorating and designing each listed by 13. Six women would be doc- tors and six;surgeons. — o Any phase of writing also appeals to the feminine idea of work, according to the figures. Thirteen would be featiiré playwrights, 13 dramatic critics, and 12 feature writers for newspapers and maga- zines. , That women are still broadening their . field of occupation is skewn in the sug- gestéd work not on the list.

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. —New York Times. who ‘HERNANI’ ice Continued from Page One ss embodied within it and the ideas sub- versive to the classical theories hitherto predominant, ‘the play became famous as the battleground of the Romantic and Schools of literature in ‘The battle, which before the play had confined itself to ‘attacks in the various pamphlets of the time and to parodies of as» many of the main scenes as could be discovered (for the rehear- sals were conducted in secret), reach~ a climax on the night of the perform- ance.
