Jones Cast and Chorus Show | Talent in Patience Performance of Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta Wins Praise SCENERY IS EFFECTIVE (Especially Contributed by Janet Marshall) If there is one event in the col-; lege year to which every one on the| campus, to say nothing of a great! number of the alumnae and outside | friends of the college look seetieet with great interest, it is the Glee Club’s performance of a Gilbert aa Sullivan operetta. There is a»stand- ard of past performances which sets no mean mark for every succeeding ' year to shoot at, and it is amazing’ to watch that standard slowly push- ed up year by year, with hardly | ever a set-back. This year’s per- formance of Patience more than ful- filled the great demands made on it. From the scenery and costum- ing to the work of the individual leads, it was a really fine perform- ance, with frequent high-spots and amazingly few low-spots. It is diffi- cult. to describe it in detail with- out singing an uninterrupted and monotonous paean of praise. The work of the members of the east collectively was excellent, al- though at times there was a notice- able lack of direction, which was only partially compensated by the in- genuity of the actresses. Miss Righter as Grosvenor could not have been. more charming. Her voice, while not .an_ exceptionally well- trained one, has a peculiarly charm- ing quality. She has one of the most unusual stage presences we have ever seen: for she is entirely at —ease—and--yet--compelling at the: same moment;. her work is appar- ently without effort and yet comes across the foot-lights with more surenéss and. force than that of any other member of the cast. Miss Cul- bertson as Patience, on the other hand, displayed what seemed to us a’ really fine, trained soprano, and acting that, while it was certainly not without charm, had a more stud- ied. and calculated appearance than Mics Righter’s. Miss Wood, as Bunthorne, was cast in a part which was very difficult for a person of (Continued on Page Five) “| falo, « | Rastern Railroads Announce Plan for Reducing Fares The rail pce 8 in what is com- monly known as Eastern: territory |hdve established a plan which they ‘feel assured will bring about a more ‘convenient and extensive use of re- duced fares. The basis of the reduc- ition is,one and one-third fare for the ‘round-trip, and this offer is extended ‘not only to the students of universi- | ties and colleges, but also to the mem- ‘bers of the staff, professors and teach- ers. Previously, the reduced fares ‘for students have been directed more ‘particularly to travel from the col- ‘lege point to’ the students’ home and ‘return during the Christmas’ or |Spring vacatiens, and there have een no reductions available for the going trip at the opening of the col- lege, nor the returning trip at the |close of the college. The new plan covers reduced fare periods under |which tickets may be purchased be- iginning at the home station to the ‘college, usable for return during the Christmas vacation, the Spring vaca- tion, or at the close of the college,— an arrangement which covers the en- tire year. Below are the conditions under which these tickets may be pur- chased for the college year 1933-34. The railroads operating in the ter- ritories outlined “kelow have author- ized these reduced fares: (1). which includes the States of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Vir- ginia and West Virginia.

Rabbi Wise Preaches Baccalaureate Sermon !We Must Stand on Our Feet, Heed Divine Command, and be True IDEALS ARE LIFE - LONG The Baccalaureate service in honor of the class of 1933 was led by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, of New York City. In his sermon Rabbi Wise gave this threefold advice for the conduct of life; we must stand on our own feet, we must listen. for the divine com- mand, we must “trust. and be not afraid.” It is’ difficult to review and to sum up the many intellectual privileges of four college years, but there are cer- tain obvious things which life within college walls must bring us or our education has been futile, The spirit of education lies in the ‘words of the prophet Ezekiel, “Child of man, stand upon. thy feet and I will speak through thee.” A college education does not give us complete knowledge; its purpose is to make us understand that we must stand on our own feet, see with our own eyes and hear with our. own ears, not with the “ears of past ages, and the eyes of long ago.” We want not the finished mind, but the hospitable mind, open not to some truth, not to partial truth, not to vrejudiced truth, but to the truth. It is a tragedy when a nation yields to the domination of old prejudices. We should not let ourselves be deceived by voices of yesterday or by the fleet- ing counsels of the hour, but should test’ the truth by-ourselves.. Courage to: reject old prophets and a mind open to the voices of divine authority is the never-ending education. Beyond being merely “seekers after truth’ we must. reveal it-in.“‘manual service, human passion, and the glory of divine compassion.” Many people think it is admirable to care for noth- ing. They are cynics, and their cyni- cism is only weariness of spirit mak- ing excuses for itself, and not having |) the courage of its feeble convictions. The great men in history have all been beset by! difficulties, but. they have never doubted the divine voices. They have never heeded those who say, “Put away your dreams.” If our ‘ideal is real we can never abandon it, and it will never desert us, but (Continued on Page Two) 1933 European Fellow JOSEPHINE WILLIAMS Winner of Fellowship Has Average of 87.9 Josephine Williams Majored in Mathematics, Won Hinch- man Scholarship IS PRESIDENT OF CLASS The winner of the Bryn Mawr Eu- ropean Fellowship for 1933 is Jose- Williams, of Jenkin- Miss Williams’ average for all the: work done in col- Although her subject was mathematics, she is also phine Justice town, Pennsylvania. major lege is 87.9. j interested in economics, and intends ito do graduate work next year at ‘| Radcliffe College in both these fields. The award of the Fellowship is a fitting climax to the honors Miss Wil- liams has received in school and col- lege, for not only did she win the lower school once, and in the upper school three times at the Agnes Ir- win, School in Philadelphia, but. in 1932 she was awarded the Charles S. Hinchman Memoria] Scholarship, giv- en to the student doing the best work in her major subject. Miss Williams’ interests have not been. confined to academic achievements: she was president of the Irwin Dramatic and Debating Clubs, and business mana- ger of The Irwinian; at Bryn Mawr she has been manager of the 1933 Freshman Show, vice-president of the Sophomore Class, treasurer of the Undergraduate Association, president of the Senior Class, 1932-33 hall president of Merion. She also helped to organize the International Rela- tions Club. When pressed for her opinions and criticisms of college life, Miss Wil- liams said that she strongly object- ed to the public posting of marks and felt that each student should be sent her own marks privately, and that they should be given her in let- ters, not numbers. She believes that midyear examinations should be elim- inated _in_all possible courses, but thinks that the reviewing and the grasp of the entire field necessitated by a final examination over the whole year’s work are valuable to the stu- dent. She approves of- the present system and nature of required sub- jects, but.suggests-that in return a Facult¥ Show once every four years should be required by the students.

The Alumnae embody the traditions of Bryn Mawr, and since we are firmly convinced that we and our contemporaries have ceased to feel that we must be the Wild Younger Generation and despise the past merely because it is the past, we can therefore ill afford Nothing could have been more stupid than the recent style of overthrowing traditional ideals without considering the possibility that they might be intrinsically valuable. - The attitude of the Alumnae as a whole toward Bryn Mawr and the achievements of her graduates is the part of the tradition most isignificant for us. Their tolerance of the present undergraduates, and their interest in recent developments in college education show a com- plete freedom from the idea, popularly expected of Alumnae every- where, that their college has been their particular class graduated. going rapidly down hill ever since It will not “be easy for the present students to maintain the open mindedness toward innovations that the Alumnae have postulated for us. Furthermore, although most of the Alumnae are working, they have not confined their interests to their work alone, but are in touch with education, literature, and international problems. Bryn Mawr women recognized and recent trends in economic theory, They have made responsible workers and authorities in all fields open to women, and have/even broken into some fields, such as banking, that had until recently been occupied by men alone. We feel that their open mind¢dness, their belief in the power and influence of Bryn Mawr women, their pride in Bryn Mawr achieve- ments, and their unwavering confidence that we, in full consciousness of our position as young Bryn Mawr graduates, will try, as they have done, to make ourselves influential, idea of what it has always’ meant of what they trust it will continue bring to the undergraduate a new to be a Bryn Mawr Alumna, and to mean.

We can’t expect you to put off the party till July 12 just forus, and we simply can’t, reply before May 22.

This Sunday evening recital inaugurates something we be- lieve to be of itself well worth con- tinuing; and Miss Cooper’s distin- * guished dancing, the choice of the music and Mr. Hammond’s sympa- thetic accompaniment, the beautiful use of a setting unfortunately so sel- dom used, were suggestive of the possibilities of such Bryn Mawr Sun- day evenings. This program. was_ beautifully adapted to the setting and to the time, _ following the waning of the light; the more brilliant Mozart, the definite and somber Bach; the dance of the Scythes, intentionally: or_no serving “as the climax of the sunset; the fad ing blue of the Iphegenia leading to the night. As to the particular dances, all but two were dances of Isadora’s own, which Miss Cooper, among™ a very few of Elizabeth’s and Isadora’s pu- pils, knows.
