BEST —-— some A good two: days they were; * unknewn god of*chance deserves a rather tremendous burn offering. The campus quivered at perf For a brief mo- ment each spring there is this ‘perfection, but it was a sheer miracle to have it ion. achieved this- year on the exact. two days }~ of May Day, to have the sun shining to give the right tone..and color to the achievement. ' Everything was new and alive. From the silly green fuzz on the slopes about to the--very— mature cherry and. dogwood blossoms, it was all fresh and spontaneous. And Every dancer’ on the green seemed really to be having a good time; the plays completely lacked the artificial formality which “usually falls like a pall,on dramatic productions of-any sort,; People_in costume wandered lolled under the trees, drank from bottles, drifted among the spectators. Clothes were not ‘treated with the deferential stiffness usually ac- corded to theatrical costumes; they were worn unself-consciously, treated with easy: familiarity. Even-at the last per- formance, aftersa hot, hard day, there was a spontaneous enthusiasm and in- _ formality about the whole thing. Audiences Variously Enthusiastic. This. fresh spontaneity was what made the 1928 May Day the rare and perfect was. All the ex- finished but the inner spirit, sorfething on which no director can count ahead of time; the spirit was what caused the unprecedented success. The audience felt this. “The real spirit of Elizabethan, England,” said one authority. What Large and enthusiastic audiences they were too; larger and more enthusiastic on Satur- day than on Friday of ‘course. No one afterwards: sec... Te tute ydocidow is whar liad “been she best part of the per- formance. Some liked the pageant best, others the. Green; the different plays. all had their, unquenchable enthusiasts. All agreed that the May Queen could not have been more charming, and that there had. never»been a better Robin Hood. Yes, it was all a huge and overwhelm-. ing success. Bigger crowds than on any other May Day he had seen, said Mr. Dougherty ; the best May Day since 1910 was the definite comment of many ‘others. From the beginning to . the end it ran off smoothly. Of course there were a few behind- the-scenes -ificidents. The Robin Hood cast nearly, had convulsions of agony when the horse. of Sir Richard of the Leas reared so. that it all but toppled over backwards. The good knight stuck on most nobly, however, and the audience went into convulsions of admiration and joy. Nor did the spectators who ,saw the pageant swing by the grandstand in perfect formation know of the frenzied flight that took place in back of Merion. Proud gods and goddesses humiliated, clutching their shields and helmets, cling- ing to the backs of wagons, lifting their classic draperies for the mad dash. Things like these were strictly in the family, and the'general public saw: only the ivory smooth exterior. a Mrs. Collins, Miss Applebee, Mr. King, and Miss Palache deserve to have beds of roses suspended in the semi-vacuum which has followed the passing of the year’s big occasion. Théy all gave a great deal to the college, but the college also gave a great deal to them. The May Day committee should consider as its greatest achievement the surprising and surprised enthusiasm of the under- graduates, for the genuine enthusiasm with which the college found itself cheer- ing the crowning of the May Queen was ~ indirectly - B a ae to the “slightly ~ nore] An Explanation The attention of the college has for the past month been focused lpon itself. “By concentration in- ward we have built up a,great sucz, cess. But now, before the renewede intensity..of exams, it is time to relax, to expand, and turn our ‘attention outward. The Cornece fF News therefore takes this oppor- tunity to print some of the infor- mation which it has been accumu- lating about other colleges and the student world in general. We try to. print what will be of special interest to the student body.: But we think it-only fair.to state that we have also on file, and will pro- ‘duce on demand, information con- , cerning Summer Courses for Foreign Students at the University of Gottingen, the International University Cruise, Near East Re- lief, Public Relations-ofthe East- —ern—Railroads- and ‘various “other —}- “matters. ae A’Glance Outside College Papers Indicative of Spe- cial Campus . = Interests. =f é ~After reading innumerable papers from almost innumerable colleges, we have| come to the conclusion that the best way to comprehension of another ‘college lies ° ‘ | ‘through its newspaper. Through fre- quent reading of that you can find. out not only most of the external, the mechanical facts that lie concealed in the catalogue, but’ also the more subtle things, such as the underlying spirit and character of the collega And of course the more you read, thie better you under- stand, From a summary of the news iterhs ina paper you see whatevents are con- sidered important at that’ particular place, what matters are of greatest interest’ to its students. (We wish to~ say ~ here, without any Axcuse or explanation, but just so as *to say it before’anyone else does, thaf the News has often been criticized . for its. preponderance. -of.re- ligious articles.) For example, in the} Stanford Daily and the Daily Nebraskan | a large number of columns are devoted A Na viii in the McGill Daily and: er are never: many ie” on this subject, and some- times none at all—unless chess tourna-, ments be included in sports. . And of” 2 Se ¢ at no sports in the Canadian universities, | or that there ‘are no events other than sporting in the .Western universities—it is merely an indication of interests. “Columns of Opinion Popular.” In-almost all of the papers, there is a column for the expression of public} opinion; that is, for ‘letters commenting | on college affairs.. These columns, to- gether with the editorials reflect the, thought—or lack of thought—of the stu- | dent bedy, and its opinion of passing | events. and» existing institutions. Of course it very often happens that these | letters. are in criticism of some editorial | comment on the part of the newspaper ; this*fact gives the~reader at least’ two | points of view on the subject,-two angles | for discussion. - In many cases the edi-| torials are concerned with college affairs | alone, but in other's, notably the Harz ard |* Crimson, the Yale News,. The Daily: Princetonian, and the Canadian. papers | mentioned above, there is always. at least | one editorial of more than local interest. | The . Harvard and Princeton papers have one feattre that is unique in ‘our knowledge of college newspapers. They publish, under the headings of The Stu- dent Vagabond and the Third Elective, -lists of lectures, with their lecturers, which they consider of interest to” the students generally. This could not help but be useful and interesting, specially in a. large university, where the oppor- tunities for hearing unusual’ lectures is large. These two papers and the Yale News also issue a monthly literary sup- plement, consisting of book -reviews and articles on literary matters. Most of. the other papers print occasional re- | views-in their daily or weekly issues. } CONTINUED ON PAGE 6 | standing—young leaders—of— the - colored | the Undergraduate Association and the .| sider, and about which they should know -ness and with the utinost frankness, This has been true .in many | which is entirely different from the one | thoroughly used to the lecture system, by Crystal Bird ‘aoaakcs on “ Possible Race Problem Miss Crystal Bird, one of the, dut- race, will speak here on Sunday: evening at 8.15. o’clock.

A correlation of stib- jects is to be desired, and it is towards this new purpose .that the. Honors work is hoped to reach. Dangers of .Irresponsibility. There will be a great deal more indi- vidual work done under the new plan, and this element, in itself, has disadvan- tages. It presupposes a well-developed sense of responsibility on the part of the student; therefore we must be serious in the experiment. “I hope,” concluded the, Dean, “that the students will lend as much initiative to the attempt as the fac- ulty, as it is only in this way that we can succeed wih Honors work.” Dr. Gray on History Honors. =a Wedaendae: morning, April 25, Dr. CONTINUED on a S “to create |, fore Baccalaureate.” has already been Medicated before Christ- | course, i : . . | Vassar the-cuts are considered unlim- VIRGINIA FAIN W ILL HEAD _ UNDERGRADUATE ASSOCIATION Shall It Go On?

AN EXPRESSION OF. -_ GRATITUDE Now that May Day is over and everyone is beginning to secover from her exhaustion and .excite- ment, we are able to consider the whole affair more calmly, to see with greater clarity. As we look back we see: that we, the under- graduates, owe a debt of gratitude to the many outside of our own number who have contributed time and skill and thought that May Day might be a success. To many of these we have expressed our-gratitude—in so far as grati- tude. may be.expressed—and for still others there has been recom- pense in the admiration and ap- preciation of the visitors. But there.are workers whose work has not been generally appreciated be- the the manual labor that apc be- hind and ,supported our less: ma- terial labor. Their work has been "8 \,not only faithful and: willing, but. also cheerful, in the spirit which we have.tried to preserye in all our May’ Day activities. -We feel that’ there:,must “be many who would join us in this expression of appreciation. _ OYEZ! - A plea, a plea!

The students are housed in Porter Hall apart from those speaking any other language and they are “pledged to speak German constantly. The mornings are . devoted -to. classes, the afternoons to individual study and_recrea- tion, and the evenings to such entertain- ment as German lectures, . There are’ also opportunities to gain a knowledge. of German .life through periodicals and newspapers. Professor Stroebe conducts the courses with the assistance of a staff of native teachers.

Discussed. The Curriculum Committee has. had a very important activity in conferring with the departinents of English and #listory, about the honor’s work to be offered next year. \Its work has been both valuable~ and efficient. ee The ‘Liberal Club is still alive, having passed through m4ny vicissitudes, though. it hopes to ‘grow in activity -and “inter- ested members, developing from the nucleus that now. keeps it alive with real enthusiasm. The Speakers’ Committee has had another successful year though its activity has been a good deal circum: scribed by’ May Day... ®: , New Cut. System. Phe Cut-Committee_has..set..in motion. a small revolution, spurred on by -the | dissatisfaction of the faculty with the present system. It was felt that the sys- tem was too inaccurate and should be thoroughly reorganized. “A new plan has been proposed «by. the Cut Committee and the Student Council for consideration of the faculty. The plan is; briefly, to have attendance taken by~ students appointed by the Employment Byreau who will be paid by the Undergraduates Association or ‘the college in proportion to the num- ber of classes of which they take the attendance. The details will be worked out by next year’s committee if the plan is approved, In connection with this the question of Friday cutting, which has been generally complained of by the faculty as disorganizing the work, ca up and the advisability of limiting week- ends. It is the opinion of the Student Council and, I am ‘sure, of the Whole | Undergraduate Association that limita- tion of week-ends is against all that Bryn Mawr stands for, and that a special penalty. for Friday cutting would alleviate the situation. However, no step will be taken without a full discussion of it by the Undergraduate Association and all plans are only suggestions. , Lhis 16a Geceertsignt : pre . . + “ perennial problem, and will continue to sd until a real understanding: is* reached between the undergraduates and the faculty, and this time of abolition and evolution seems the moment to reach ' such an intelligent understanding. A question of general interest came up in connection with the raising of funds outside of the college social work, such*as a Red Cross drive. The college has been An general against the. official raising of such funds as being an un- necessary drain on the already overbur- dened: purse of the undergraduates. It izevhowever, a question open to further retecck . se Se discussion fOr Nexi-ye EES The activities outside-the college have ‘been’ small this year, due partly to the crowding of May Day. Cornelia Rose, however, made a very successful trip as delegate to the -National Students’. Federation of America Conference, of which she is the secretary. The dramatics outside of May Day resolved themselves this year into the performance of “The Cradle Song” by Varsity Dramatics and a most success- ful concert with an unusually ambitious program by the Glee Club, which is the usual procedure every four years. . May Day Climax. May Day seems at this moment to be ‘ the climax of the year, for as Dr. Chew said, “it is over with. inconceivable suc- cess,” due partly to the weather, partly to the untiring effort and skill* of Mr. King, ‘Miss Applebee and Mrs. Collins, and in large part to the co-operation and enthusiasm of every Single person who The financial side is still to be- determined and the use of what: pro- ceeds were made is still to be assigned by the Undergraduate Association. .

And it wasn’t all-the fault of the4 pean First, there was the weather. t.is remarkable, she said, what a differ- ence it makes to see the pageant under a gray sky, and undef a sky sucheas we had both Friday and Saturday. The quietness of the air was another ad- vantage, for in 1916 there was so much “wind to carry the voices away, that some of the plays gave the effect of being done in pantomitne. ‘The fact that ‘there were no ominous clouds. decreased the unrest which outdoor audiences usually have, and this made it-easier for the . actors, The campus was at its most bésutiful moment. It has never been so lovely for May day, Miss Park continued. The cold had held back so many.of the blossoms, that suddenly everything’ burst out, whether it was time or not, in the hgxuri- ous warmth, Queen. and Court Lend Unity. - Two new things marked May day. One was the addition of a very dis- tinguished play, andl the other was the increased-- importance ofthe Green. Queen Elizabeth and her court gave dt increaséd unity. St. George was better -done than ever, and the Gypsy and Sword dancers and ‘the tumblers» were—superb. ‘The Morris dance? are~ always wonder- ful, in the president’s 6pinion! ‘ The .one thing that must be changed is the music. If some arrangement could be made with the Curtiss Institute it would be most desirable. Another thing we must keep in. mind is the permanent addition of court costumes. Godde Queen Bess has kindly donated her magnificent one. . The presence of the Phoebe Anna Thorne School adde@a great deal to the pageant. The children gave the Green a more complete appearance of a village scene;’ their play was well done and added a new interest. One carried away from all the plays an impression of simplicity, of graceful movement, of pos- ture, of grouping, and of beauty of voices, This is all due to Mr. King. Great praise must be accorded to. Miss Applebee, who kept up enthusiasm and interest in Mayday through «all- the weeks of preparation. A complete lack of self-consciousness, and ‘great confidence, was noticed in every performer.. President Park con- cluded by saying how we would like to have the next’ May days exactly the same, hut each” generation--of-—students_is_re- sponsible, and each May -day will depend upon its gertration! Freeman Outlines Seven Foundations of Faith The seven essential foundations of Christian Faith were outlined by Dr.. Ralph Freeman, of Pasadena, Cali- fornia, in Sunday chapel on April 29. “Some of us,’? he began, “come to Faith in dogmatic ways and’ some of us in ways not dogmatic,” through natural emotion as we might appreciate a symphony, though knowing nothing of the theory of music... Yet, in cecal of -the fact. that-mres > a arrive at our faith by aa we all| crave some authority which we can hear and see and feel, which will give us some reliable basis for our belief. The difficulty is that there are differ- ‘ent demands in the matter of: author- ity. What are fundamentals to- some are not fundamentals to others, and the sure things of today are not the sure things of tomorrow. “Some things, however,” declared Dr. Free- man, “are sure to my Christian think- ing. I cannot begin my religion with- out Me as the first foundation of all religious thinking. I am not interested in how I came to be, in a scientific sense. “The museum of antiquities and vestigial remains which I contain is not-necessary to mf conception of myself, except aS_I -can perceive some- ‘thing behind them. The two buttons on my coat sleeve are ‘a nuisance, “merely. there because our ancestors happened to have lace sleeves, which had to be kept out of the soup. It is not difficult to see these relics of evo- lution, and yet to believe in something back of all that. Evolution may re- quire the dustyofthe earth as well as the mind of a Creator.

The second essential . is You: you, who like Me, area spiritual personality. It is’ the discovery of you as‘such a personality as ‘one discovers one’s. kinship With a |’ man of another race when one has learned his language that constitutes the sécond foundation. “The third spiritual entity, aid the third foundation, is the world around | us- and under our feet. hat is true of’ ourselves is~true of the infinite uni- verse. It is'an honest world. Jesus and the Bible. “The Bible is the fourth foundation. There are many puzzling and contra- dictory things in it; and many won- ders.. But the big-thing which we get from the Bible is our conception of Jesus. that we chiefly honor Him, for con- cerning these questions are now raised. But His great achievement was to make the world stand on its. tip-toes, and see that God: should be in that, world. ° “So the sixth anaes is God. To 1 feel the sense of all that is good and all that is great is to perceive God, whatever our theories. Jesus, as we know Him in the Bible, brings, us in on tiptoe to the presence of the-eternal.
