Tries New Plan of Exam. in Rules for ’31 ‘In an effort to eliminate the too often recurring “I didn’t know” or “I didn’t understand” of the transgressor, the Executive Board of the Self-Gov- ernment Association this year gave an examination to the incoming class on the rule book. The state of bliss aris- ing from ignorance is far too liable to be dangerous to the individual and the college to allow it to exist in any freshman mind. Hence, on a sultry evening in Freshman Week some hun- dred-odd members. of the Class of 1931 spent three-quarters of an hour in Room F, filling examination books with the rules in regard to smoking, quiet hours, motoring and other use- ful things to know. The paper was made with an eye to emphasizing .the rules which are most important or with which we most often come in contact. The Execu- tive Board discovered that the exami- nation served a double purpose: it not only guaranteed that the freshmen knew their rules, but it acted as a severe test to the rule book, showing whether our resolutions are well worded, definite and to the point. When more than a hundred bright _ young minds are turned upon one _ small green book, something is sure to happen. One result was that weak- nesses never suspected before were . discovered, which we must remedy as soon as possible. The results of the.examination were very satisfactory; the majority of the Papers were good, some-very_ good . indeed. The percentage of failure and even of poor papers was small. Hence the Executive Board can be sure that at least the freshmen know and un- derstand, the rules. And as well, the Board“ftound much encouragement in many answers to the last two q tions, which show that the spirit e sential to the system is understood and appreciated by many of the new members.

Freshmen passed each other in corridors, with an air of indifferent suspicion. It was evi- dent that a storm was about to break, but which one of the concerned phal- anxes would survive with. still hoisted banners was not quite definitely known. the hilarious as they gathered However, Sophomore ranks were skeptically around the bonfire on the lower hockey field. - Finally, the band relieved the tension with an enthusiastic rendering of “Pop Goes the Weasel” and down the hill marched the gallant Freshmen with torches, shouting their battle cry as they came. They sang it cheerfully but doubt- fully and well they might have, for no sooner had they formed aj\circle around their pert rivals han it Sophomores shouted back a_ disiffGisioningly correct answer to their challenge. There was a noticeable fall in the faces of the encircl- ing Freshmen, but: nevertheless they took their defeat with sportsmanlike good humor. 1930 has a right to feel proud since their song went undiscovered last year. : There followed a general migration to Pem Arch where everyone prepared “to lift her voice in songful praise.” Here the Freshmen may have had occasion té feel a bit of their fallen prestige sudden- ly rejuvenated, for their singing was ad- mirable and certainly surpassed the Sophomores’, whose side-by-side song seemed to dwindle into a series of gut- tural murmurings at its final termination. The Freshmen should not feel too desolate. The words of their song ex- pressed a certain amount of class pride: “We are the class of ’31 We're singing our Parade Song We hope you haven’t got it yet Hooray for Bryn Mawr.” A very good song, even though it had the misfortune to “go wrong.” Morning Chapel—Its Whys and Wherefores Revealed “The service has always been com- pletely voluntary,” said President Park in telling us.something of the necessity and background of the present morning’ chapel in Monday morning, October 10. In the beginning this daily service was | completely in the spirit and practice of the Friends. Little by little it fell into the present form: reading the Bible, a prayer, and a short talk either religious or connected with matters of the day. At first there was no singing, but Miss Park said that when she was a senior the stu- dents became so excitedeover the presi- dential election that they could no longer cofitain themselves in silence. One memorable morning they burst out with “My @ountry ’Tis of Thee” as President Thomas came in the door: such was the start of our daily hymn singing. From this brief accotint of the begin- nings of ‘morning chapel Miss Park went on to tell us, of the important part it plays in college life. There is great ad- vantage in having one thing in which everyone shares. Quite apart from the pleasure of making “joyful noises unto the Lord” there is a real necessity for th daily meeting. The President and Dean must have some channel of com- _munication_with- the student_body, It is } not possible to make all announcements through pritted notices, if ‘not chapel then some other gathering is necessary. The administration neéds a chance. to give the reasons that lie behind decisions and rules. There is another question sides that of administration explanations: there is no other time for asking special people to come and speak. This year more staserie: are going to be asked to speak.

The source of the gift is unknown, but the purpose for which it is intended has been an- nounced for all.to hear.. Soon we will see Merion spick and span, shining from top to bottom under new paint, inside and out. And what’s more. (as if cosmetics— pardon, Paint—, were‘not enough) new beds are to be. put in every - room.

Congratulations, Mer- ion, when you are all dressed _ up, do have a public house warming. MAY DAY PRACTICE BEGINS AT ONCE Different Hallssto Rehearse on Tuesdays Besides Spe- cial Classes. NO REQUIRED GYM. Big May day year comes round again, and even the first semester is to be used as practice time, rather than, as has been the previous custom, as a sort of marking time interval before the hectic and strenu- ous work of the second half of the year. The rule of four athletic periods a week has been abolished for the time being, and two periods of May Day. practice are now to be required of-everyone;hoc- key is to be play ed as usual, however, and the new work is so arranged ag not to interfere with the afternoon playing. On Tuesday of each week there will be gen- eral pageant rehearsal, by halls; the schedule is as follows: 5 P. M.—Rockefeller and Denbigh. 8 ‘P. M.—Pembroke West and Radnor. 9 P. M—Pembroke East and Merion. If these hours should prove incon- venient to the individual it will be possi- ble to arrange, through the hall presi- dents, to come with a different group; however, the May Day Committee hopes that this rearrangement will seldom be necessary. Special Classes Will Be Held. Too, there will be special classes for those interested in trying out for drama- tic parts. Miss Leuba, who has had training in this kind of work, will give a kind of plastic dramatic exercise where- by the individual will be taught correctly to use her body, as well as her voice, upon .the stage. These classes will be held on Mondays and Thursdays at 8 and 9 o'clock. There will also be special classes in Morris and Sword dancing, and’ in tum 1S honed that this new arrangement ill lighten the work of the second | ster, and make it-more possible to coycentrate on the detail of the produc- tign as the time draws nearer. On Thursday, October 13, there will be trial damatic classes at 4, 5, 8, and 9 o’clock, and these, too, will be conducted in hall groups. Mr. King, it is interest- ing to note, has tested eyery member of the present freshman class, and has found | a good deal of promise and talent. A. few people have worked on costumes over the summer, and, after considerable research and effort, have made some excellent sketches. The Junk Committee sent out post cards ‘over the summer, ask-. ing i materials from which to make up — ec, and their special plea now is for large pieces of material, such as | eee ee ee byt SP Th etree Able to Balance and Sur- vey Experts’ Findings. ‘ NEW BUILDINGS RISE The, close of President Park's speech in Chapel on October 5 summed up the problem and danger confronting the pres- = ~ ent day college. After describing the material side of the college, she said: “Faculty, students, - buildings—a_ living ° thing or not? carefuly laid walls, care- fully trained minds, catefully organized work—something disintegrate, something integrate? who can say this morning? Probably no one should venture, but like Kipling’s fairy tale hero whose ‘only . excuse for attempting a hopeless task was “A pot is a pot and I am the son of a potter.” I can’t help noticing that “an audience is an audience and I am the son of a preacher.” “How can such a changing community as this be also an integrated community? Can it add one by one the strength of its individual members to form a_ single strength? Only if the individuals—presi- dent, dean, faculty, students, agree with and respect its purposes and measure its ‘| performance by them, I have been’ think- ing much of one of them this summer. How to Meet Danger? “The four years of training for which the machinery of a college is set are of course only one section in a large field, four miles on the road out of the whole forty or sixty or eighty, preceded and followed by other miles, other training, equally important or unimportant, But because they occur where they do, in the yeais betweeh sixteen and twenty-three— years following and growing out of adolescence and just preceding a time, the middie* twenties, when a demand on the adult individual for a proof of capacity is almost certain to be made, they have a kind of character of their own. If they have ‘a special place in the de- velopment of the individual and some- what the same place in the development of all individuals they can be generalized and made a basis for discussion like the other facts with which the college deals, for instance that its students are Ameri- cans and women. And further, the mo- ment has its own problems. Mr. White- head in his ‘Science and the Modern World’ has pointed out for many of us non-scientists what the by-product of the last decades has been.

WORTHY OF HONOR © The words “Bryn Mawr Sum- mer School for Industrial Work- ers” call up to most of us who are here, in the winter a mental picture of many girls infesting our campus with knickers, Socialism, aand long’ Union-non-Union de- bates; girls with such an eager rdesire to learn and .learn and LEARN, that we feel a momen- tary conscience prick about our own indifference, This picture, like all mental pictures, is correct as far as it goes, but, like all mental ‘pictures, it does not show everything. It does not show, for instance, that what takes place here for two months every sum- mer is an experiment in the fields both of education and labor. That. the experiment has so far been a success is most easily proven by the fact that since the school was established here six years ago, three similar schools have been founded. Sweetbriar, the University of Wisconsin, and only this summer, Columbia, have opened their halls. to industrial il ee The “winter school” cannot af- ford to overlook what is going on here on its own campus.

Communications, The Counce News is not responsible for opinions expressed in this column. To the Editors of the Cotieck News: A college deprived of its tradition would lose much of its charm and attrac- tion. But,surely the value of traditions, like that#f other antiques, lies not merely in that they are old, but also in that they are pleasing or useful. Bryn Mawr is not a college over-burdened with old customs, and of those she has, the larger part fulfill both of these qualifications. But there are exceptions to this, we feel that C. A. Reception is one of them. No useful purpose is served by it, it,is dread- ed by. shy freshmen, and looked forward to with open boredom by the ate of undergraduates.. Almost everyorle would like to avoid it, and many do. Its period of usefulness has passed with the passing of class barriers and other superfluous formalities. It seems high time for this tradition to die gracefully of old age. M. F. RG. In Philadelphia Theatre.

It is’ the story of the Towers, a pioneer ‘family in the Middle West. The treatment of the theme, if not the theme itself, is new. To be sure, the novel of family history lias been done before, by G. B. Stern and Rose Macauley, to mention two recent exponents.. But they have told their stories “chronologically, from generation to generation, , while, Glenway Wescott has told his in’an ap- parently haphazard fashion, - paying barely enough attention fo time to make Phis accofint intelligible. The Towers are not an exceptional family, and in reading the book one “has the feeling that it would be quite possi- ble to write such an account of any large family, and to make it interesting. The characters are human, and the de- velopment of events is quite natural. There is humor in the book, but is is of the quiet kind that runs all through life, usually unperceived. In general the men are better understood’ and so presented in more life-like fashion than the women. The interesting and appeal- ing character of Leander’ Tower appears in almost every. story, sometimes as an active force, sometimes: as an under- standing listener. If there is any cen- tral character or hero, it is he. Alwyn, whose recollections and observations form the book, is comparatively unim- portant until the concluding chapter, In this he sums up and reflects upon the lives of his family. ‘ While the chief interest of the author seems to be humanity, his descriptions of the Wisconsin countryside are clear and beautiful. But even these descrip- tions are in many cases given a human interpretation. For example,— “The east -was covered .with tiny a newcomer finds in a dismantled house. The sun entered the house like such a newcomer.” The feeling for the city is not nearly so strong, as exemplified by the descrip- tions of London, which seem to lack re- ality. The style is simple, as befits the nar- ration of family history teld in the home. Yet, without giving the effect of packed sentences, a great deal is implied in a small space. The whole book is intensely moving, and each character is filled with an almost tragic significance. It is excellent as a picture of life on a poor, rocky farm, but even more strik- family. MR.

They are our keenest minds, We hear with attention what they say and read what they write, or we receive at second-hand and by filtration a general impression of their contribution to thought.: knows only his ®wn area. If the scholar can not now and in all probability can never .again reach vantage points from which he can «survey others’ ¢trritory and measure his own, the danger to the follower is clear. “To meet the danger becomes a general business. We must in no case curtail the new knowledge which crowds in on us from every laboratory and. study, but we must be ready to weigh it, correlate it, balance it. The layman must arm him- self first with a determination to avoid a single outlook and next to survey new discoveries in thought with a mind which is prepared to balance and weigh and correlate which is not only accurate but discerning. “Training for this can hardly be given except professionally. It needs the short- cuts of laboratories. libraries and special- ists. It needs in other words what the college can give. Such an attempt to establish the wise layman in his position and to make his wisdom effective in it can be seen in all experiments, like Mr. Meiklejohn’s at Wisconsin, to break down’ the barriers between courses, in all plans for co-ordination and for work in general fields. If we in our small way ‘can attack this difficulty, if it is agreed to as a raison d’etre not only for the college in general but in particular for the four years of concentrated effort to which Bryn Mawr is accustomed we shall not only work together as a whole, faculty and students, but we shall work with effect for ourselves as individuals and for the America in which we happen to live.” Summer Progress.

The stage begins to look something as it will later. We can all be reassured as to a rainy May Day. Even the oxen, I think, can find room to stand on its expanse. The organ is be- ing set up in the Music room and the time when Mr. Willoughby will play the first Bach on it is not too far away.

Mr. Clark is on the Editorial board of the Drama Review, for which he writes reviews of the current. plays. Hs is also Editor for Samuel French & Co. He is the author of two books, Modern Drama and Eugene O’Neil, which. may be found in the new Book Room. This last summer Mr. Clark gave a course in Dramatic Criticism at Columbia, and has lectured at other colleges on this and the general subject of play-writing. Contemporary American drama is Mr. Clark’s. chief interest, for it is in this country, he feels, that .progress in the drama is being made. His lectures promise to be stimulating to all, for his contacts with the dramatic world is un- usually strong. The Home Atmosphere At the. University of Nebraska “C..A.

" Says Dr. Jones “It would be sal indeed ‘if we had hever ‘sétn a sunrise and yet ‘more to.our desolatjon,if we never could.” * Such was the startling assertion of Dr. Rufys Jones*in.his sermon given ih the chapel on Surtday, October 9. However, Said Pr. Jones, it - would border upon, the apex of tragedy if we were never, in the course of our. lives, to discover any real truth, or new and fresh experience. One of the «most proniinent characteristics. of Sargent’s portraits. of the prophets is that each face “betrays an* attitude of anticipation; of loooking in to the future—not ‘the past—for the beginning. The prophets were not satisfied to. let the coming of Christ become to them a final event, the crowning ideal of their religion, but rather did they consider it the begin- ning of a new humanity, a new crea- tion, and a new order of ‘life. Two Tendencies in Religion. The two great immemorial tendencies of religion are exemplary of the old and new theories. First, the tendency of the scribe, who attempts to make religion consist of a “system of authoritative be- liefs.” He is continually looking back, Believing that the retirns of truth are all in. And second, the tendency which insists that religion is the perpetual rev- elation of God to man and through man. Phe beauty of God’s life must be un- veiled and broken through.
