SYRIA BASE OF TRADE

The Deanery, March 22.—“The

archaic ivory trade bridges the gulf
between prehistoric and _ historic
Greece and explains the Oriental in-
fluence in Greek art,’ said Dr. Alan
J. B. Wace, Fellow of Pembroke Col-
lege, Cambridge, Professor of Arch-
aeology at Cambridge and former
Director of the British School of
Archaeology. at Athens, in his lecture
on The Ancient Ivory Trade. Ivory
plaques and statuettes bearing Ori-
ental influence have been found in the
Eastern Mediterranean dating from
1400 B. C. in the Cretan and Myce-
naean eras to 600 B. C. in historic
Greek times.
The ancient ivory trade Was active
from before the fifteenth to the .sev-
enth century B. C. Where the center)
of this trade was raises an important
question. The archaic world presum-|
ably got its ivory from two sources, |
Africa and Asia, both habitats of the | i
elephant. In Crete small ivory ob-!
jects dating from the Bronze Age have '
been found which bear Egyptian de- |
signs. These are declared by Sir!

 

 

Bryn Mawr Faculty Men
Rout Haverford Profs

 

Gymnasium, March 20.—In a wild
and exciting basketball fray the Bryn
Mawr faculty overcame a lead held

by the Haverford faculty for three-|

quarters of the.game to down them
to the merry tune of 22-16. The
game started at a very moderate speed
and was characterized throughout by
exceedingly odd passwork, especially
on the part of the Bryn Mawr fac-
ulty. Our professors, however, were
hitting a mighty pace by the time the
final whistle blew,-leaving them well
on the long end of the score.

When the teams lined up (not very
promptly at the appointed hour) Dr.
Nahm drew out a large and eclipsing
pair of glasses guards with which he
covered up most of his face as well
as his glasses. The play at first was
rather slow and exceedingly messy.
Dr. Nahm’s fair philosophy students
seemed to expect great things from
him and wild shouts echoed from the
rafters every time he nabbed the ball.
Nor. did he disappoint his supporters,
for with accustomed lightning-like
speed he snatched the ball, raced
down the field and passed to Dr.
Blanchard, who was ready and wait-
ing. In the wink of an eye Dr.
Blanchard returned it to Dr. Nahm,
who sank Bryn Mawvr’s first basket.

After this neat work on the part of
the biology and philosophy depart-

Bryn Mawr Organizes
New Home Fire Post

Bonus Movement, Seek Free

Trips Abroad

 

SPONSOR CONGRESS BILL

A branch, chapter of the Home Fire
Division of the Veterans of Future
Wars, burlesque bonus and _ peace
movement recently originated — at
Princeton, has been formed at Bryn
Mawr. In the first four hours of its
existence here Post Commander Hileen
Sigler, ’37, was swamped with de-
mands for membership certificates and
buttons in the new
which proposes a bonus of $1000 to be
paid now to eVery male citizen be-
tween the ages of 18 and 36, a trip
to Europe to view the future battle-

fields of their present and future chil- |

dren for future mothers of future
war veterans, and for future wives a
pension of fifty dollars a month for
life. These proposals ‘are to be em-
bodied in a bill for Congress, which
Representative Maury Maverick of
Texas promised to sponsor.

The movement has grown so rapidly
that national offices had to be opened
in Princeton to take care of the thirty
existing posts and the hundreds of re-
quests for new posts which have come
from campuses all over the country.
The women’s branch of the organiza-
tion was originally called the Future
Gold Star Mothers, but the real Gold
Star Mothers protested that this vio-
lated sacred feelings. The name of
the Women’s Auxiliary was then
adopted

A recent. editorial in the Herald-
Tribune supported the bonus and pen-
sion movement because “in the first
place it would put that much more
money into circulation, thus at least
doubling the stimulus to trade claimed
for the prepayment of-the bonus to
World War veterans. Secondly, it
would educate our youth in the spend-
ing of money against the day when
as pensioners under the Townsend
Plan they must get rid of it on sched-
ule. Thirdly, it would permit them
the enjoyment of the Government’s
cash while they are still young, be-
fore, for example, they were killed
in action or badly wounded, or, as in
the vast majority of cases, suffered
the tedium of a training camp.”

Dr. Fenwick announced in his Cur-
rent Events talk that two weeks ago
in Washington the idea of a future
war widows’ organization had _ oc-
curred to him, but that he felt that
in the interests of united and mass
action to force Congress to vote this
bonus for future veterans and pen-
sions for future war widows, any
group here should collaborate closely
with the national group. He pointed
out the’fallacy of giving bonuses to
the dead who can never spend them
and urged that the same agreement
be reached as the classification of fu-
ture wives, widows and mothers. Post
Commander Sigler announced that no
stipulation of a proposal or marriage
contract had yet been made for mem-
bership in the Home Fire Division.

Inquiries should be made to the Post
Commander in Rockefeller 52, where
applications should be filed, buttons
received and the salute learned. The
latter consists of right hand out-
stretched palm up and fingers pressed
together in the “Gimme” attitude.

Philosophers Discuss
‘Paper on Individual

 

Common Room, March 19:—The
Philosophy Club held its second meet-
ing this afternoon for the purpose of
discussing Marjorie Goldwasser’s pa-
per on’ “Individual and Internal Re-
lations,”

In reading this paper, Miss Gold-
wasser proved that relations could not
be purely external, since whether real
or unreal, they would then involve the
problem of the middle man. . If, on
the other hand, relations were consid-

'ered as internal-but unreal, then the

Wives of Future Soldiers Join: terms to’be related would necessarily

be unreal. As the reality.of the terms
at least must be maintained, a fourth
possibility was suggested to the effect
that relations were both internal and
real. This theory bears investigation
better
falls down in the end. For this means
that if relations are changed, the in-
dividual is changed. The constancy
and unity of the individual, however,
is a vital belief not lightly-to be swept
away. Consequently, the only solu-
tion for the dilemma is the theory that
relations are indeed real and likewise
both internal and external. They ex-

individual; they are seen externally
as they are brought into focus with
another individual. In their inner
aspect they cannot change; in their
outer aspect, the alteration
obviously does occur is allowed,
the dilemma. disappears. :

In spite of Miss Goldwasser’s log-
ical demonstrations, her statements
were not accepted by the club without
question. Yet the arguments so in-
duced soon advanced to more general
problems, such as’ what constitutes an
individual, when and how an individ-
ual can cease to exist or come to be,
and finally the eternal puzzle of the
immortality of the soul.

Bryn Mawr Club Lowers

Price on New Bedroom

 

The New York Bryn Mawr Club
at the Park Lane, 299 Park avenue,
New York City, has converted the
club dressing room into a bedroom.
It may be rented, with bath, at $2.00
a night for one person and $3.00 for
two, with exclusive use of the room
from 8 p. m. to 10 a. m, and all day
on Sunday. Rental has been fixed at
a low rate because it is necescsary
to use the room as a club dressing
room during the: day.

The Park Lane provides hotel rooms
and meals at regular prices. How-
ever, there is a list of tearooms in

Miss Buchanan Gains
European Fellowship

 

Sixteen Resident Appointments,
Undergraduate Cum Laude
List Announced

 

SENIORS’ AVERAGE HIGH

 

Goodhart, March 20.—Dorothy Anne
Buchanan, A. B. Smith College 1930,
M. A. Bryn Mawr College 1931, was
announced by Miss Park in Chapel as
the holder for next year of the Mary
Elizabeth Garrett European Fellow-
ship. Although ordinarily the college
can award three scholarships for
study abroad at this time, the Fanny
Bullock Workman and the Ottendorfer
fellowships have to be suspended this
year for financial reasons. Other col-
leges and associations, howéver, have
been generous in their awards to Bryn
Mawr graduate students, and seven
of these awards were announced in
addition.to a special scholarship of-
fered for study in Athens. Sixteen
resident fellowships have been award-
ed for next year. In-closing Miss
Park read the list of those on the
undergraduate honor roll.

The announcement of the European
and Bryn Mawr resident fellows is
one of the. great academic occasions
of the college year. The awards are a
recognition of ability, industry and
‘maturity. The whole college owes a
great debt to the graduate school; the
faculty, the Library and the methods
of working, have a certain fine color
because of it, a color recognized and

 

found satisfactory by most under-
| graduates. The advanced under-
\graduate students begin to _ look

through the keyhole at graduate work,
to see the pleasures of independence
and also the stiffer work, the fewer
holidays, the professional responsibili-
ties which the professional student
has.

This year we are particularly aware
of the place a woman can take in the
great field of scholarship. Although
perhaps it is unlikely that out of the
Bryn Mawr awards of any one year
another Emmy Noether will come,
yet the chances for such a student
grow as study among women becomes
more common. Lists of previous hold-
ers of Bryn Mawr graduate fellow-
ships show that they are a useful
group. There are fourteen members of
the Bryn Mawr faculty who were
earlier holders of Bryn Mawr gradu-
ate fellowships, eight on the Smith
faculty, seven at Mount Holyoke, six
;at Vassar, three at Wellesley, two at
Barnard and one at Sweet Briar and
Connecticut.

The Mary Elizabeth Garrett Euro-
pean Fellowship, which must be
awarded to a present member of the
graduate school, is the oldest of the

Vociferous Gallery Sees Haverford Win

By 30-22 Score

Despite Women’s Rules

 

Gymnasium, March 23.—Haverford
College Varsity downed the Bryn
Mawr team, 30-22, in an hilarious bas-
ketball game’in which girls’ rules
were more or less adhered to through-
out. The packed gallery of enthusi-
astic Haverford and Bryn Mawr root-
ers lent as much zest to the game as
did the players themselves.

May Day is so thoroughly instilled
in our minds nowadays that it can-|
not even be left out of a basketball

game. The Haverfordians appreciated |
this fact and very thoughtfully catered |
to our whims by appearing on the}

basketball floor gracefully (?) attired
in Elizabethan costumes. Realizing,
‘however, the great ability of the op-
ponents against whom they were about

to be pitted, they were afraid to sub- |

ject themselves to the disadvantages
of playing in such garb. Accordingly
they retired, only to return in a few
moments all dressed in the conven-
tional basketball costume with the ex-
ception of two brave (or cold- blooded)
fellows, whose manly legs were graced
by long woolen underdrawers.
With endless laughing and cheer-
ing and endless substituting and re-
substituting by Haverford, the merry
game progressed until at the end of

the half the score stood at 4-26 in
favor of the men. We felt that if
Marion Bridgman had possessed a pair
of those stilts that reside outside of
| Merion, she would have been materi-
ally aided in the job of guarding
Sturgis Poorman, her long and lanky
| opponent.

| In the second half, however, Char-
| totte Peirce brought joy to the hearts
of the Bryn Mawrters by sinking bas-
| ket after basket and rolling Varsity’s
score up to 15, while in the meantime
‘only a single tally had been netted
for Haverford..«At this juncture the
men’s team began to sit up and take
notice and a few shouts from the raft-
ers demanded boys’ rules. Henceforth
the score mounted fairly evenly until
Bryn Mawr had amassed 22 points as
against Haverford’s final count of 30.

2 Extra! Extra!

We recently read in the papers that Harvard University undergraduates
conduct their own school of journalism through the agency of their three
campus publications. We began to have.a fellow feeling with our northern)
neighbors until we discovered that the writer of the article not only con-
sidered this a very unique system of training, but also felt that it was of
unusual merit, in-that it needed no theoretical course to supplement it.

With all due respect for Harvard we wish to remark that from our
own experiences we — the merit is not so unusual; there is room for
betterment, at least ss“far as Bryn Mawr is concerned. For many: years
‘our publications have been carried on entirely by the students themselves.
We heartily approve of the independence which is accorded us and we
regard the principle of a self-perpetuating board as absolutely essential to
the efficiency of our editorial efforts. There is one matter, however, which
we think is open to improvement and that is.the preparation for newspaper
and literary work which we receive.

Each year a new group of students has to be trained to take over the|
positions of responsibility on the News and Lantern. They can learn the|
intricacies of journalistic writing only by gleaning information from those
who have gone before and by witnessing their own successes and failures.
But although experience is undoubtedly the most versatile of teachers, its
instruction is sometimes slow and expensive. A course in the elements of
journalism would be a most welcome addition to the curriculum from every
point of view. Not only would it train those who are interested, in this
kind of writing, but would be of great value to anyone who desires to know
how to write clearly, concisely and accurately. The technique of journal-
istic writing is completely different from ordinary literary or~critical-com~
position and requires a special training. Modern American writing is tend-|
ing more and more to be influenced by the style of writing used by leading
newspapers and weekly magazines and many of the most prominent authors
are former newspapermen. Bryn Mawr needs a course in journalism both
to complete the group of writing courses which are now available to stu-
dents, and to provide their very foundation. i

‘ Watch Your Steps!

The tradition that Taylor tower steps are used only by the members
of the two upper classes is one of the few older and more informal customs
which have weathered the changing ranks of undergraduates, and it is
with great sorrow that we see it disappearing under the hasty tread of
sophomores and freshmen. Undoubtedly rain and anxiety to see the May
Day bulletin board make the longer route to Library or Pembroke seem
an unnecessary delay, but the tradition had @ practical origin as a traffic
device to turn aside half of the onrushing crpwd and thus to make that
corridor in Taylor passable. There was nevet“a time when that hallawy
needed such trafic regulations more than in a busy May Day year. But
of far greater importance is the fact that using the tower steps is to many
juniors and seniors a sign that they have successfully served two years’
apprenticeship and have at last come to the dignity of upperclassmen. Haz-
ing is unknown here and distinctions have never been strictly drawn between
classes, but pleasant traditions are rare. The freshmen and sophomores are
only destroying their own thrill in future years and that of the upperclass-
men today by carelessly rushing up and down the tower steps.

THE CAREER GIRL |

Mary Marjorie Addapearl
Happened to be an only girl,
So the Addapearl’s claim to fame and)
glory
Was vested entirely in little asians
Though never bright, from the day |
of her birth
She’ was always known for her ster-!

ling worth.

What Marjorie began she’d be sure to}
* finach; |

Her favourite foods were prunes and,
spinach; |

She loved her parents and native|
land;

She could chin herself with either
hand;
But, weep for Marjorie, one affliction
Stood in the way of her life’s am-

 

bition.

She never completely mastered the
art

Of telling her right and her left
apart.

One couldn’t really hold it against her |
And at first it just inconvenienc®d her, |
But at last, 1930 and 6 was the year, |
It put an end to her whole career. |
At a woman’s college, Bryn Mawr,
Pa., :
They celebrate the coming May |
With plays and masques, but mostly
with dance
And she was attending Bryn Mawr
by chance.
Bi-weekly at eight for a half an hour
She danced with her utmost zeal and

power, :
But her progress, if anything, was
slight
As she couldn’t tell her left from her
right

And had no possible way of deciding

Which arm for arming or side for
siding.

Frantic, unhappy, hot, shamed, and
red,

She tried to do what the others said,

But in vain. At last came the fatal
day.

She was asked not to dance on the
first of May.

When he heard of the blot on his
name, overnight

Mr. Addapearl’s hair turned white.

His wife, who was practical, heaved

a sigh

And cancelled the rooms they had
booked nearby.

They’ve retired since to the south of
France

To drown their sorrow in strong ab-
sinthes-

And as for Marjorie? She now graces

To thumb through college calendars
Was formerly a source of woe

I could not bear to read about
Those courses that I must forego.

For there are only four short years

That one can go to Bryn Mawr col-
lege;

And only sixteen courses here

Must constitute our college knowledge.

What joy! What bliss! is now my
lot:

I am a student monitor

And gather pearls of ‘wisdom now

' As I proceed from door to door.

[_ know a_bit-of_calculus,

Have picked up Greek and ‘history,

I’ll reach the peak of scholarship

Before my college course is through!

Current Events

(Gleaned:. from Dr. Fenwick)

Common Room, March 23.—“There’s
not much to be done constitutionally
about the floods,” sadly announced Dr.
Fenwick, “yet something must be
done.” The only way to prevent fu-
ture inundations along such rivers as
the Ohio that rise far in the moun-
tains where the frozen ground cannot
absorb quick thaws and rains is to
build a series of dams all the way up
the stream. Since the Ohio flows
through several states, however, it is
difficult for any united action to be
taken, unless the Federal Government
assumes the task. Yet such a task
may be declared unconstitutional by
the Supreme Court; undoubtedly it
will be, if corporations are taxed to
support it as they were taxed to sup-
port the AAA. The only way is to
go quietly ahead and build the dams,
then tax without saying why—just
levy taxes. Thus the disapproval of
the Supreme Court may be avoided
and the floods certainly stopped.

Although taxes ‘are a sore subject
to American business men right now,
the Government is elated because the
returns’frem the income tax filed on
March 15 were much higher than
had been anticipated. This fortunate
event occurred because of the gen-
eral increase of incomes this year
while the tax rate remained the same
as last year. As a result, some of
the heavy appropriations may be cut,
‘and the proposed corporation tax may
be affected. Directors indeed will be
relieved therefore,-:ot the stockhold-
ers who await the distribution of divi-
‘dends to avoid the tax will be disap-
‘pointed. If they can thus increase
‘their wealth, however, they will have

 

 

bs

‘as the Chamber of Deputies.

to pay larger taxes to the Gevern-
ment, and so the end will be the same:
the Government will have the money.

Corporations in Americ: , cven when
taxed, are well off when compared to
those in Italy. For Mus.uvlini, *cele-
brating today the seventeenth birth-
day of Fascism, has abunshed the
large industries of his country, as well
Pre-
viously, this Chamber has been a mere
sounding-board for him, but at least.
it has been a semblance of democracy.
Instead he has now established a
Council of Guilds representing twenty-
two business and professional bodies.
A Guild in Italy consists in a anion
of both employers and employes.
Thus the economical affairs of Italy
will be politically controlled. Since
the country is faced with a war for
its future, a war brought on by fate,.
as Mussolini innocently points out, it
is necessary that large industries vital
to the nation and to the carrying on
of war should be subjected to the
nation. Only medium and small busi-
nesses can be left intact.

In Germany..another dictator has
recently taken a drastic step. Now
Hitler, having sent his troops into the
Rhineland and.. broken. the. Locarno.
Treaty, is holding an, election on Sun-
day to seek justification from the peo-
‘ple. The Nazis have been ordered to
get out a solid 100 per cent vote, and
they will very nearly accomplish their
mark. All but the sick and dying will
be brought to the poles and presented

ler. If another name is written in,
the ballot becomes void. The vote is
either for Hitler or for no one. Under
these conditions, Hitler will doubtless
receive a tremendous endorsement.

Hitler stands in need of an endorse-
ment from his people, since the rep-
resentative he sent to London to meet.
the Council of the League of Nations,
has not been so favorably received.
This representative, Von Ribbentrop,
presented the argument that since
France has already broken the Lo-
carno Treaty by the Franco-Soviet
Pact, Hitler has committed no viola-
tion by his pact. With a vote of
eleven to nothing it was decided that
Hitler had violated the Treaty.
Whether or not the Franco-Soviet Pact
had likewise trespassed on the Locar-
no Treaty, was a question which the
council offered to submit to the World
Court. Since this Treaty and the Pact
were drawn up within the provisions
of the League, it is already evident
that France has not broken the Treaty
and that Germany therefore most un-
deniably has.

Nevertheless, in an effort to evade
war, the League has proposed a con-
ference of the Locarno Powers to draw
up a peace plan. In the purposes set
down for this conference it is at last
recognized that the League must be
more than an instrument for maintain-
ing the status quo in Europe; it must
be an instrument of justice. The
peace plan to be drawn up must pro-
vide for a “re-establishment of eco-
nomic relations on a healthy basis.”
The mal-distribution of raw materials
and markets must be adjusted, and
the economic barriers between coun-
tries must be relaxed. By revising the
boundary lines on a map no harmoni-
ous condition can ever be established.
The boundaries must be made to mean
less, they must be made to signify
no more than the line between New
York and Connecticut. Then there
will be as little thought of fighting
about the limit as New York thinks
af fighting its New England neighbor.
This is the only possible basis for
peace.

MAY. DAY ANNOUNCEMENTS

 

Finery for May Day
In Active Preparation

 

New Costumes to be Designed,
Old Ones to be Remodelled

-For Revellers

 

SOLICIT CONTRIBUTIONS

 

No one will be able ‘to say, on May

-8 and 9, that she has “nothing to

wear.” The May Day Room is
jammed with silks, velvets, satins,
furs, jewels, feathers, lace and armor.
New costumes are being made for the
three new plays, for about one-third
of the characters in the other five
plays, for the entire court and for
many of the revellers on the Green.
Many of the costumes. are being re-
modelled with contrasting sleeve lin-
ings and new accessories; dozens of
them are being washed and cleaned
and dyed and mended. Everything
is being pressed.

The work will continue straight
through Spring Vacation, as will all
of the May Day work except that to
do with ‘the: plays, with Mrs. von
Erffa supervising the cleaning, press-
ing, dyeing and sewing of the cos-
tumes in the May Day Room and the
Gymnasium. Miss Grayson, mean-
while, will be working in New York,
supervising the designing and sewing
of the new costumes for Queen Eliza-
beth’s courtiers and _ladies-in-waiting,
which are being especially made in
her own workshop in -New York.

Approximately three hundred stu-
dents have been measured for their
costumes, and if still more students
can be measured before Spring Vaca-
tion, the seamstresses can proceed im-
mediately with their work and definite
arrangements can be made for as-
sembling the characters on the Green.

The costumers at the moment are
searching mainly for suitable and
decorative materials. They especially
need fur (from old evening coats or
wraps of any kind) and velvets. They
hope to have contributions along these
lines, but they are getting their mar

terials—for new costumes or for re-
touching old ones—from all sorts of
places. Some come from theatrical
supply shops, to be sure, but others
are the results of protracted trips
through the Ghetto, and some have
been obtained from out-of the way
places in most romantic ways. King
Richard, for example, is getting an
entirely new suit of armor, made of
flexible and glittering milliner’s stuff
that one of Miss Grayson’s New York
assistants remembered having seen in
a milliner’s shop several years ago.
A return trip to the shop proved that
the material was still shelved away
there, and it was thankfully and joy-
fully obtained for May Day armor.
All new costumes will be necessary
for the new plays. Gammer Gurton’s
Needle is to be done in rough country
style, with browns and blues domi-
nant. Dame Chat and Gammer Gur-
ton will be costumed according to a
picture on the back of a sixteenth
century playing card. The Creation
and The Deluge, with the especially
difficult costume problems they offer,
are particularly interesting. Adam
and Eve in Tite Creation are to be
garbed like lay figures from an old
fresco on wood. Stiff cloth; painted
to look like wood will be used, and
both characters will appear to be
jointed, like dolls. The only differ-
ence between them will be between
Eve’s long yellow hair and Adam’s
black hair and long black beard. ‘The
Serpent will be costumed as a woman
(not because this is a Bryn Mawr pro-
duction, but because that was the cus-

 

in early England), with her
hands coming up out of a long gown.

tom

The Creator will wear tarnished gold
cloth, while Deus (in The Deluge)
will be treated more realistically, and
will be a magnified’ version of Noah
himself.

The 1936 Masque of Flowers will be |

much more authentic (as to, costume)
than the 19382 version. Several stu-
dents are studying Inigo Jones’ plans
for costumes and sets, used in the
production of court masques in Eliza-
bethan times. The dancers’ costumes
will be. made of sufficiently light
weight material so that the dancers
can move easily and freely, but the
dresses will have some definite form.
The chimney sweeps will wear bright
colors of shiny material, imitating the
apparel of the well-to-do, instead of
the gray and black of their trade.
All the maskers will, of. course, dance
barefoot, but in all probability they
will have shoes. to wear during the
procession.

Midsummer Nighj’s Dream will be
done this year in Elizabethan cos-
tumes instead of Greek, but all of
the costumes have not been definitely
designed and -assembled. . Tentative
costuming plans for the Old Wives’
Tale provide that all of the costumes
shall-_be rich in-color, that-Eumenides
shall have a renovated suit of armor,
and that the Ghost of Jack, Sacra-
pant and the Furies shall be newly
habited.

Robin Hood will have its share of
new costumes, all planned to contrast
with the Lincoln green of the Mer-
rymen’s suits. Maid Marian is to
have a new dress, made along the
same lines as her old one, but fresher
and richer looking. Fair Ellen is also
to’be given a new wedding garment.
King Edward is to wear his colors,
scarlet and enamel blue, instead of
scarlet and black, over his new suit
of armor, and he may wear a tabard,
as he did in 1932, unless the costumers’
research proves that tabards were not
worn as early as the sixteenth cen-
tury in England. The new-fashioned
metallic cloth will give Prince John
a new underpiece for his habit, and

 

 

Costumes for Minor Roles

Elizabethan types and person-
ages, who will replace the form-
er townsfolk as far as new cos-
tumes are correrned, will be
chosen chiefly from - among
zraduate students.’. Eight stand-
ard bearers and six whifflers,
who will learn from Miss Brady
how to throw small swords into
the air and catch them again,
will be selected from under-
graduates not yet cast.

 

 

 

dark olive green velvet. and blue lin-
ing give promise of a striking new
costume for Alan-a-Dale.

The Dragon in Saint George may be
provided with sparklers wherewith to
frighten his audience, Little Jack is
being fitted out against a bright May
Day, and St. George’s colors are red
on gray, instead of red on white, so
he is getting a new cloak. _

No new costumes for the green are
being made, except where costumes
are lacking. The tumblers and the
horn dancers will have completely new
costumes, while the country folk’s cos-
tumes are being dyed brighter and
fresher colors. In cases where cos-
tumes for general characters on the
green are lacking, the costumers are
making every effort to provide espe-
cially new and startling and interest-
ing costumes,

The whifflers are among these, in
very gay dress. So are the bell-ring-
ers, costumed as gentlemen, as they
were in Merrie England, and the
worthies, who will be put in colors,
instead of black. Besides these, there
will be gypsies in high pointed hats

and jagged shirts, a special fool with
mn ET

 

 

feathers swirling on his doublet, -a
monk, a special sword dancer in a
costume copied from the picture of a

famous rope dancer named Jacob- Hall,
a wild man (well known to ancient
May Day revellers) with leaves and
acorns in his hair and a pine. cone
torch to brandish, a witch with herbs
in her belt, stilt walkers with plumed
hats to keep atop their heads, a sailor,
a kennelman, an egg woman, an al-
chemist with bellows and pineer to lift
his hot vessels from the fire and a
bespectacled doctor.

The pageant will be as gay as it
is possible to make it; black is being
avoided at any cost, and the costumer
wishes to assure the revellers that
even black tights are being avoided,
since black against the green grass
does not have the desirable effect of
minimizing legs, but accentuates their
girth.

Soft shoes are being made for most
people, gloves are being made for
archers, men of estate who ride in the
pageant, and the gentlemen of the
court (who would have been lost with-
out their glows in Elizabethan times).
Some of the tights may be replaced
by cloth hose, since hose were not
knitted until the middle of Queen
Elizabeth’s reign.

A-tremendous. amount of informa-
tion is acquired in the process of try-
ing to make each reveller conform to
the styles of Elizabeth’s reign. The
miscellany of historical infofmation
which is incidentally being gathered
to dress up campus and characters is
being collected this year for future
May Days. Pauline Schwable, 36,
is the chief archivist, and she is cata-
loguing and veceramg the data in peb-
manent form.

SCIENTIFIC BLENDING

The blending of tobaccos to secure a given taste—uniformly, season
after season and year after year—is both an art and a science.

Every fresh blending of Lucky Strike tobacco contains more than
100 different types produced on thousands of different farms—not
only in Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Maryland and other States, but tobacco-lands in Mace-
donia and Xanthia in Greece, Smyrna and Samsoun in Turkey—
where the finest Turkish tobacco is grown.

FAUST IS DANDY DEVIL

 

Goodhart, March. 12.—At the sec-
orf sshowing of the early films _col-
lected by the Museum of Modern
Art. Film Library, the evening be-
gan with a bang. History, fantasy,
robbery and devils filled the audience
with horror and amusement. Good-
hart re-echoed with the horrified gasps
of the audience when the royal head
of Mary, Queen of Scotland, rolled in
the sawdust. This picture was over
almost as soon as it began, but we
shudder to think of the effects it must
have had on susceptible people of 1894
who had not been hardened, as we
have, by long acquaintance with the
Frankenstein monsters and the tech-
nical tricks of the modern movies.

The development of narrative films
continued with a brief bit, entitled
Wash Day Troubles, the so-called
prototype of slapstick comedy. The
costumes of 1895 were startling to say
the least, particularly the dangling
legs of the — sh-h — undergarments.
These first two films were the first
tottering steps of the art, the blos-
soming of the discovery that the “mov-
ing picture really moved.” A world
of illusion was created by George
Méliés, who produced a number of
films between 1896 and 1914. One
of them,’ A’ Trip to the Moon, was
worthy of a Gilbert and Sullivan per-
formance (with its silently eloquent
chorus of sceptical savants). The
settings for this film were extremely
clever and many of the scenes were
amazingly modern. The humor of the
acrobatic antics of the people in the
Moon and the behavior of the daring
scientists was more subtle than that of
the usual films of the period. A
delightful touch was the disappear-
ance of each “native” in a cloud of
smoke when he was_ slain by the
mighty umbrella of the mortal.

The Great Train Robbery, the ear-
liest example of film editing, created
a sensation when it came out in 1903.
It foreshadows many features. which
the modern movie never forgets—the
rushing (!) train, the closeup and the
heroine of tender age. Best of all
was the gay country dancing, which
was peculiarly appropriate for a Bryn
Mawr showing.

It is difficult to tell whether the
film of Faust was meant to be comedy
or tragedy. It was a most hilarious
spectacle with the devil, a typical
“sneak,” disappearing in bursts of
flame. He was portrayed as a most
appealing shaggy dog, while Mar-
guerite fulfilled our worst expecta-|.
tions. Her “vision” of her meeting
with the dandy, Faust, was the best
part of the picture.

A sharp coritrast was offered by the
famous film of Queen Elizabeth which
starred Sarah Bernhardt, who said
of it: “This is my one chance for im-
mortality.” The film was remark-
able in that the acting was done as
on the legitimate stage, with the fig-
ures walking on and off, and the
change of setting accomplished by
scene-shifting. The star rose from
the pile of cushions forming her death-
bed and bowed with a magnificent
gesture to, the supposedly applauding
audience. The film was interesting
primarily
ed the “divine Sarah,” as well A Lou
Tellegen, reputed to be the handsom-
est man of his time. Despite the
marked difference between this film
and those of today, the drama was
strong, and there were some very ex-
cellent scenes, such as the visit of
Elizabeth to the crypt where lay the
body of Essex.

fellowships for study abroad at the
disposal of the college. The winner
this year, Dorothy Anne Buchanan,
was a scholar in English, Bryn Mawr,
College, 1930-31; instructor in Eng-
lish, Bryn Mawr College, 1931-32;
teacher at the Buckingham School,
Cambridge, -Massachusetts, » 1932-33;
instructor in English, Vassar College,

1933-34; Fellow in English, Bryn
Mawr College, 1934-35; warden of
Windham and_ graduate _ student,

Bryn Mawr College, 1935-36. Miss
Buchanan completes this year her
course work for the Ph. D. degree
and is re to prepare her thesis,
begun in a seminary given four years
ago at Bryn Mawr by Professor
Charles G. Osgood, of Princeton, on
the Tradition of the Love Complaint
as employed by Spenser in the Faerie
Queen. She proposes to work at the
University of London with Sir Ed-

mund Chambers and R. W. Chambers,

and to. study manuscripts at the Brit-
ish Museum and the Bodleian Library.
She will also study under W. L. Ren:
wick, of the University of Durham.

Miss Buchanan is declared by her
department to have clear-sighted, crit-
ical judgment, great powers of organi-
zation and_presentation, “the industry
that every graduate student must pos-
sess,” and, as noted by each of her
instructors, real proof of gréwth and
development, a fruitful mind.

The Mary Elizabeth Garrett Euro-
pean Fellowship has already been
awarded forty-two times: six times
in English, five in history, two in Ro-
mance Languages and four in French,
four in Latin, four in mathematics,
three in biology, three in Greek, and
twice or once in economics, philo-
sophy, Biblical literature, chemistry,
physics, archaeology, Semitic Lan-
guages and social economy.

The college received from an anony-
mous donor the sum of $1250 to be
awarded as a special fellowship for
study at the American School of Clas-
sical Study at Athens to Emily Ran-
dolph Grace, A. B. Bryn Mawr Gol-
lege, 1933, and M. A. in the next year;
Graduate Scholar in Greek, 1933-34;
and Fellow in Greek, 1934-35, and now
a graduate student at New York Uni-
versity.

Although Bryn Mawr is restricted
in the number of fellowships it can
offer this year, other colleges and as-
sociations have come to the rescue and
made many awards to members of the
graduate school. These awards are
as follows:

Dorothy Anne Buchanan, Mary
Piizabeth Garrett Fellow, has also
been awarded one of the Marjorie
Nicholson scholarships for graduate
work by Smith College.

Marion Monaco, graduate student
in Romance Languages and holder of
the Voorhees Fellowship from the New
Jersey College for Women, has again
been awarded the Voorhees Fellowship
for 1936-37. Miss Monaco will use
the fellowship for study at Bryn
Mawr.

Dorothy Schierer, Fellow in Clas-
sical Archaeology, has been awarded
a Joseph A. Skinner Fellowship and
a grant from the Frances Mary Hazen
and the Justine Carrington Coe Fel-
lowships from Mount Holyoke College.
This will enable Miss Schierer to con-
tinue her research in the field of clas-
sical archaeology and Greek at the

ship for the current year, studying at
Oxford, has been appointed instructor
in philosophy at Smith College for
1936-37.

The resident fellows-elect of the
college must have completed at least
one year of graduate work and are
nominated by the various departments
directly to the Board of Directors of
the college. They “represent a pretty
sure gamble on the part of the fac-
ulty; for their own part they carry a
heavy responsibility among the lighter
train of mere scholars and graduate
students in Radnor and in the semi-

nars,”
The resident fellows of 1936-87 are

some cases, praiseworthy work. They
vary in their accomplishments and in
their improvement. “Some are ma-

vary hard work by a fortunate flair.”

Six Students Attend
Hearing on Youth Act

 

Under the auspices of the Bryn

 

Nancy Angell, ’88, Helen Hamilton,

389, and Mary Dimock, ’89, and two
graduate representatives, Marion
Greenbaum and Anne Tuller, attended
the Saturday session of the Senate In-
vestigations into the proposed Ameri-
can Youth Act.

The bill, sponsored by Senator Ben:
son of Minnesota, provides for: the
extension and permanent establish-
ment of the N. Y. A. and seeks to re-
lieve the condition of unemployed
youth and to give financial aid to col-
lege students. The hearing, conducted
by Senator \Walsh of Massachusetts,
was originally
‘room of the Senate Building, but be-

to be held in an ante-.

cause of the large numbers present to .

endorse the bill. it was found neces-
sary to move the investigators and two
hundred-odd student delegates into the
Caucus Room, the largest in the build-
ing.

The Bryn Mawr representatives did
not have a chance to speak, but sub-
mitted a written report to the com-
mittee. Constance Dimock, Vassar,
38, sister of Mary Dimock, Bryn
Mawr, ’39, testified on behalf of the
delegation from Vassar.

olid steel over your head certainly makes
modern automobiles safer, and this improve-
ment like many others has resulted from
the pioneering work and vast resources of
General Motors. Few people realize the
initial cost of developing the ‘“Turret Top,”’
and it is only the fact that it is used on mil-
lions of GM cars which enables the average
person to afford its benefits.

Excava-
tions at.°Ras-Shamra in Syria have
revealed, in addition to ivories, a large
number of elephants’ teeth, proving
fairly conclusively that there were
elephants in that region during: the
period of archaic Greek art. This
proof is further strengthened by rec-
ords showing that Tiglath-Pileser I
of Assyria hunted. elephants there in
the twelfth century. Syria, therefore,
was a third source of ivory and its
ivory exportations reached Greece by
way of a trade route through Cyprus,
Rhodes, Melos and other islands of
the Aegean.

The trade route flourished until the
seventh century B. C. Ivory statuet-
tes have been found at the Dipylon
Cemetery in Athens which date from
the Geometric Period of the eighth
and ninth centuries. The figures are
stiff and show Egyptian influence. At
Sparta ivory animals, figures and
plaques, dating from the. Geometric
Age to the seventh century and show-
ing a strong Orientalization in design
and subject, have been unearthed in
enormous quantities. Similar ivories
have been found at Ephesus.

French archaeologists have brought
to light at Arslén-Tash in Assyria a
great deal of ivory dating from the
time of Ahab, King of Israel, in the

found at Nimrud in Syria on the site
of a fortress of Ahab. The Book of |
Kings mentions Ahab’s ivory house

in the description of the death of Ahab
at. the battle of Ramoth-Gilead,
Ivories from both of these sites show
striking similarities to the Sparta fig-
ures and the Mycenaean _ plaques.
Cows, calves and bulls, common motifs
in Mycenaean and archaic Greek art,
appear in the Arslén-Tash ivories, as
well as the sphinxes and deer found
in the later Orientalized péttery of
Greece.

The archaic ivory trade extended
as far west as Etruria, as ivories
found in the Etruscan tombs of the
seventh century prove. The excava-
tions in the Barberini Tomb have pro-
duced many. statuettes bearing strik- |
ing resemblances to the: Ephesus
ivories.

The ivory trade was at the height
of its activity during the ninth, eighth
and seventh centuries, the period in
which Assyria dominated western

Haverford still held the lead.

At this point Dr. Nahm took mat-

14-14 by sinking a counter from a re-

proniptly used the same trick to shove
Haverford into the lead once more.
Then, receiving a beautiful pass from

again, 16-16! The excitement and

Back Log Camp offers none of the usual “attractions” of a summer
resort, such as golf, motor boating, arranged programs, dancing, and
visiting celebrities. It is a large tent camp, inaccessible to automobiles,
but easy to get to, situated far from all other camps in a very wild

part of the Adirondack Preserve.

A fleet of fine ggnoes and rowboats |

always at the service of the guests without extra charge, and innu-
merable trails, many of our own making, enable Back Loggers to pene-
trate to isolated parts of~the woods seldom visited by the usual run of

summer visitors.

That’s what Back Log does: it runs the woods.

What strikes most newcomers is the personal, friendly atmosphere

of the Camp.

It is owned and run by a large family of brothers and

sisters and their children, college graduates (Harvard, Haverford, Hei-

delberg, Bryn Mawr, Wellesley, etc.), and Philadelphia Quakers.

Four

of the managing family are Bryn Mawr alumnae, and one is now at

the college.

Our modern “‘eat-and-run” way of

attaches to the following fact: that
smoking Camels has been found to

Camels milder too, more delicate

Turn to Camels for your diges-

costlier tobaccos.

Whifflers Will Whiffle
The latest additions to the May Day
pageant are whifflers, who carry white
staves and brandish short .swords,
F A :
which they throw up in the air every
now and then to amuse and discipline

 

| the audience. Whifflers are super-po-
licemen—a cross between heralds and
"ushers—and they wander about the
,campus to keep crowds in order.

| Their intriguing name was derived
(from “whiffle,” and meant a piper
or whistler, who led the way in Eliza-
bethan pageants. The  whifflers,
usually six in number, most frequently
headed the procession to clear the way,
although sometimes they were attend-
ants instead of herald-ushers. Bryn
Mawr whifflers, in spite of their velvet
coats, will not be merely ornamental,
but will see that ways are kept clear
and that the crowd can move freely.
