Drive Planned for All Activities If Goal of $4500 Reached}, No Further Requests To be Made UNDERGRAD ASS’N ASKS HELP OF ALL The yarious money-raising cam- paigns, which have been the bane of every undergraduate’s life for years, are now to be combined into one big drive, lasting from Oc- tober. 12th to the 20th. The money collected, if the drive is.a success, will satisfy all the needs of the Bryn Mawr League, including the Camp, the Bryn Mawr Summer School, the Peace Council, and the Players’ Club. If the required funds are raised for the latter, the campus will be able to come free of charge to Players’ Club activi- tieg throughout this year. If the goal of $4500 is reached, there will be no need of benefits or Poverty Dinners, and it is well to remember that, because of the war, the demand this year for refugee assistance and Red Cross work will be greater than ever before. The Peace Council estimates that at The success of this whole pro- ject depends on the co-operation of every individual on the campus.

In the questions concern- ing our entrance into the war, there was an almost unanimous desire to fight if the United States proper should be attacked. Under the other four conditions, however, there was a slight majority (362 to 359) expressing the desire to remain out of war. 1. Under. present conditions, should the United States enter the European war as an active fighting force? -Yes 5; No 221. 2.. If.

These will be planted all over the campus and Wyndham, and may be picked as well as ad- mired. Five new. arinalniiaents to the faculty have been made, three of them announced last spring: Mr. Soper, Associate Professor of His- tory of Art, Mr. Miller, Assistant Professor of American History, and Mr. Oxtoby, Assistant Profes- sor of Mathematics.

There are those whose summer vacations were brought to a somewhat precipitous and nerve- wracking end: they were trailed by U-boats, lived in ther life-jackets, slept in palm lounges, or almost took the Athenia.’ Then. there are those who were obliged to cut short a year of study.and either squeeze themselves into whatever available boat space tould» be procured for them, or sit disconsolately upon these shores, watching their boat steam off towards Europe. The problem confronting the di- rectors of the German Foreign Study Group was merely to ‘liqui- date all plans and cancel all pas- sages.

Through the study and practice of this method, said Miss Park, we can add our strength to that of the active defenders of civilization and face both the real- ity of our campus world and an outside world engulfed in war. “Reason,” Miss Park pointed out, “is an advanced process to year, *|which the human being turns with effort, often not forwarded by the impulse of emotion.” A kind of vood will is essential to reasof when it is used in arbitration be- tween disagreeing powers or indi- viduals. “Should this good will pro- vide the rational method with an emotional. impetus; ‘should it. rise “to a passion for justice ‘and mercy; it can add shrewdness to our initiative and boldness to our attack, can perhaps beyond all ex- /pectation, forward the use of that rarely used, so effective: human tool, the method of reason.’ Hatred and fear, on the other hand, are the emotions which for- ward the use of force.

Most of the girls were American born, but a Swedish leather work- er and two English workers attended. All three contributed information about the labor con- ditions in their own countries. The campus consists of two private estates,' one belonging to Miss Hilda Smith, former Dean of Bryn “Mawr, and another estate a short way from it. Unfortunately, the intervening property belongs to a conservative landowner- who forbade the students ‘to cross his land, compelling them to skirt his property in going from one half of the campus to the. other. He also placed anti-labor posters on his estate for those brave enough to attempt to cross it. The resi- dents of -the surrounding com- munity: were also wary of the school, but the workers won them over by inviting them to an open house party, and by explaining their ideas and the purposes of the school in a “living newspaper” play. The prineipal courses in the cur- riculum were English, economics, and the sciences. The economics professors were all ‘college instruc- tors, amgng them Miss Mildred Fairchild from Bryn Mawr. The English teachers, however, had previously taught in high schools. Continued on Page Five COLLEGE CALENDAR - .

Thursday, Friday, and Saturday: THEATRE REVIEW ~ By Olivia Kahn The theatrical season of 1939-40 is opening in a leisurly manner, but one of its most promising signs of life is an unaffected musical show, The Straw Hat Revue. Its ence that their show springs from an unsophisticated origin but, as they themselves must realize, their |principal appeal lies in the fresh- ness and simplicity of their skits. - The Straw Hat Revue is in many respects worthy to be considered the successor ofthe labor stage’s still popular Pins and Needles. However, Max Liebman, Sylvia Fine, and James Shelton, who wrote most of the book and score of the newer show do_ not themselves with politics or ‘social conditions. Instead they burlesque their own profession. The only message they have to offer to the public is that the average musical somedy with its fluffy chorus and s' arp-shooting hero is outmoded. There are several dull gnoments in the second act when the authors fall back on such musty material as the loquacious waiter who spoils a big business deal and the young girl who, indignant that ten drinks have had no affect on her, leaves the restaurant on her knees., How- ever, the act opens brilliantly with a scene called The Water Sprite. Miss Imogene Coca, upon whom the wnain responsibilities of the entire revue rest, is magnificently ridicu- lous as she rises from a pit in the about gaily while stagehands sprinkle water from the wings. Meta Mata and Otto Hari per- form superbly in two dance satires, Dance of the Fakir and The Acro- bats. In the former they give a comic rendition of the dance in the style of Shan-kar and his Hindu ballet and in the latter they toe- dance onto the stage and, having erected an imaginary . tight-rope they sway convincingly through a typical circus act. Danny Kays, although fairly new in musical comedy circles, ably sup- ports Miss. Coca in most of her skits, taking time off to croon Three Little Hicks, one of the best num- bers of the show, with James Shel- ton and Robert Burton. Mr. Kaye also sings a solo number, Anatole of Paris, with considerable finess. Probably the two songs from the show that will prove most popular are Our Town and Four Young People. Our Town is a platitudi- nous ditty which is the central core of a weak version of the Wilder play. Four Young People is sweetly sang by Alfred Drake and though not sensational has considerable charm. The Straw Hat Revue is light stuff but genuinely amusing. It has few big names connected with ‘t but should get by on its intrinsic merits. DECORUM MARKS SELF-GOV. BONERS One Proposes to Get Permission From Dean Although most of the Self-Gov- Lernment exams showed assiduous study, several registered a marked conservatism. One girl told the examiners that she expected to ob- tain permission for going out from the Dean, the Board of Directors or the Trustees of the college. Another, evidently not a coca-cola chorus is: prompt to tell the audi- concern | center of the stage and capers | drive. ae e > Adio a Aue Haverford To’ Debate Two Activities Charges Plan Covers News and Record But Omits Charities Two proposals for an activities charge to cover participation in non-athletic extra-curricular activi- ties:are now being debated at Hav- erford. Unlike the Bryn Mawr drive, both Haverford proposals provide for.a flat charge to be added to the bill of all students, though under one program a reduc- tion of $10 would be made on 53 scholarship rooms, so that the minimum cost of attending Haver- ford would not be increased. _ The activities charge would en- title students to receive the News and the Record, and attend Cap and Bells plays and Glee Club con- Though similar in its gen- eral purpose of reducing the num- ber of small bills, the Bryn. Mawr plan is entirely different in that it will cover all the usual drives for charities and projects backed by the college, and an allotment to the Players’ Club. It does not, however, include subscription to the News and the Lantern. LEAGUE -PROPOSES NEW WINTER PLAN certs. Small Class to Follow Up Summer Activities This winter the Summer Camp Committee of the Bryn Mawr League is planning to follow up the summer’s work in the form of a weekly class for a group of Main Line children. Susan Miller, ’40, head of this year’s committee, is organizing the work, with the help of Babs Black, ’41, next year’s chairman, who will take over the work later on in the year, and Nancy Howard, ’41, secretary and treasurer of the League. Further assistance is being giv- en by Kay Hildebrand, graduate student in the department of so- cial economy, who is also working with the Main Line Federation of Churches. The Federation was so impressed by the progress made by the camp during the summer that it has granted her spare time to assist in driving the children to and from their class, and to take part in the actual work of the committee. The group, which consists of ap- proximately 20 children, from the ages of 4 to 8, will meet for an hour every Saturday morning in the newly reopened Y. M. C. A. building in Ardmore. Half of the hour will be taken up with model- ing, and, later on, with decorations for .the Christmas party in the Common Room and with making wresents for their parents. The ~emainder of the hour will be used for crzanized group activities. The necessary funds for the pro- ject will be supplied from the sur- plus left over from last year’s The committee hopes to start work a week from Saturday. ‘News’ Board Changes The News regrets to an- ~ nounce the following resig- nations: Dorothy Auerbach, ’40, as advertising manager; .

This would probably have led to a mili- tary. alliance if Germany had started a war. The first signs of a storm ap- peared on August 22. Germany ¢oncluded a trade agreement with Russia. This seemed ominous to England and France for it was ap- parent that, unknown to them, Russia had been negotiating simul- taneously with their ministers and Germany’s. On August 24 Ger- many announced a non-aggression As Hitler ‘in- tended, this was a great shock to England and France. He planned to march into Poland while England and France were too stunned to oppose him, but his plan was defeated by the determination of the democracies to stand firm. Hitler then hesitated a whole week, unwilling to abandon his objective. yet unwilling to have On September 1-he invaded Po- land and on September 3 England and France declared war. The next blow came with Russja’s invasion of Poland to the gates of Warsaw, tak more than half of Poland and cuttihg off Ger- many from supplies in’ Rumania. Russia, remaining a neutral yet re- taining half of Poland, holds the balance of power as no one will de- clare war on her. Russia then secured from Es- tonia and Latvia the advantage of open ports on the Baltic.. She uséd similar tactics on Lithuania but en- countered opposition from Finland. The latter. is willing to take orders © from Russia if they are not too severe. She does not want Russia to have the Aland Islands for then Russian domination of the Baltic will be complete. : Mussolini has declared ‘neutral- ity, but with partiality for Hitler with whom he has a military alli- ance. Hitler will not drive him into the enemy’s camp by asking him to fulfill it. its original purpose was to protect Germany from the communism with which she is now allied. Hitler is now offering peace on his own terms but his word is worthless. The only way to secure peace is to have the economic power of the U. S. guarantee it. This she will not do. The present embargo on the sale of arms, ammunition and airplanes to belligerent countries means that England and France have no adé- quate means of replacing airplanes in an aerial war. The cash and carry plan means that England and France will have more difficulty in securing goods because of the pro- hibition on American shipping. Lifting the embargo in part will offset this advantage because they will be able to secure some replace- ments. Sight of 164 Freshmen Makes Welcomers Blanch Continued from Page One of conciliation.

De- light Tolles, Garrett Fellow of 1938, is at Bryn Mawr instead’of remain- ing at Rome a second year. Kathe- ine Lever, Garrett Fellow, ’39, postponed her fellowship and is an instructor at Rochester University. Jean Holzworth, Workman Fellow of ’39, is at Yale instead of Italy, and Louise Dickey, Riegal Fellow in Archaeology ‘’389, is at Bryn Mawr, not Athens. Elizabeth Lyle Huberman, European Fellow ’37 is at the University of Mexico, not the University of London. Dewilda Naramore, European Fellow ’38, returns to Radcliffe, and Grace Dolowitz, European Fellow ’39, is Scholar in Romance Languages at Bryn Mawr.’ Only one of the usual four exchange scholars is accepting an’ appointment at Bryn Mawr— Francoise Cusin, of Artemare, Aisne, B.A. Randolph Macon, and M.A. Wellesley. No American ex- change scholars go to Europe. Eliz- abeth Edrop, who was to hold an exthange scholarship for Switzer- land, and Hope Wickersham, Amer- ican Exchange with France, both remain in the United States. Agnes Chen, Chinese Graduate Scholar 1936-39, and Scholar in Economics and Politics 1938-39, is given a scholarship at Bryn Mawr so she ‘ean complete her work for the Ph.D. degree, Ne depraduate body, only four short of the 500 limit, has a greater enrollment than was ex- pected. The entering class of 164 . is the largest in the history of the college. Although the Senior class still resembles the smaller pre-1936 model, it has “unusual stability and unusual energy” and is able to carry the responsibilities “which I have been used to dropping onto the older students.” Speaking of Susan Vaux’s death, Miss Park said, “It is partly be- cause of the individual responsibi- lities they will necessarily take that we feel a peculiar loss in the death of Susan Vaux of-the Senior Class who was killed in the terrible Union Pacific accident of late August. She was a singularly stable and mature person who de- cided, when she was already three years out of school, to begin on the long road of medical training and ‘came to Bryn Mawr to get the pre- liminaries. She lived at home, and she was a hard worker. But every- oné who knew her felt her integrity and strength, combined as it was with gentleness and charm.” Among the departmental changes for the year, Miss Park announced that the Rotating Research Project this year had been given to the De- partment of Spanish.

In addition to the regular fellow and scholar in Romance Languages, the Mary Paul Collins Scholarship has been awarded this year to a student in Spanish, Frida Weber of Buenos Aires, B.A. Two more scholars were also appointed. In addition, the Mary Flexner Lecturer of this|. winter, Professor « Arturo-Rioseco of the University of California, is to work with the research group during his six-weeks’ stay in Feb- ruary and March, and will also lec- ture to the college at large on Spanish-American literature. The Flexner lectures of a year ago given by Professor’ Ponofsky have been incorporated into a book, Studies in Iconography, Humanis- tic Themes in the Art of the Ren- aissance, just brought out by the Oxford Press in the Bryn Mawr series. Judge Florence Allen’s Shaw lectures of last year, The Historical Development of the Con- stitutional Powers, and the Bryn Mawr Symposium on Art, by Pro- fessors Bernheimer, Carpenter, Koffka and Nahm, are both in press. Discussing the obstacles holding up building construction on camp- us, Miss Park said that the wing |. of the library, begun during the summer, will be completed during the winter but probably will not be fully occupied until next fall. The Theatre Workshop will probably be available for use after Thanksgiv- ing. The start on the Workshop was unexpectedly delayed first by consultations with Mr, Alexander Wyckoff of May Day fame as to the best facilities for acting, and then by a refusal from the State%office in Harrisburg to accept as suffi- cient the fire precautions originally proposed. The additional require- ments ran the expense beyond the available funds, and drastic changes in arrangements were made, “in the end,’”’ Miss Park said, “giving us a simpler and actually better building.” Phone Bryn Mawr 809 Bryn Mawr Marinello Salon Natidnal Bank Building Bryn Mawr, Penna.

Es- corted by the juniors and the Bryn Mawr Band, the freshmen marched to the hockey field singing their song. They broke through the sophomore ring to the bonfire eas- ily, but the victory proved inegm- plete when the sophomores began singing the parody. Becky Robbins, Ann Updegraff, Jacquelins Wilson and Marian Chester were the heroines who pro- cured the freshman song, written to the tune of The Vagabond King: “Every class of story tells some tale of glory 43 will tell the best Though we’re just beginning, yet our fame we’re winning And we’ll shine in every test Though we’re green we never will be blue We'll soon ripen, watch us ’42! Whee-ee-ee We are full of fire, we will soar up higher Til we reach the highest crest.” The sophomores replied with: “Every class of glory tells a little story About the Parade Night song Though we’re not beginning ’42 is winning And we'll carry right along. Forward, forward the dark blue banners go ; Downward, downward go the green before the foe. Boom You ure full of pride, we'll take ‘you for-a ride.

The comments divide into two groups: first, that “an attack on Canada, for instance, would be a serious blow to our own safety;” second, “yes,.if such country had done nothing to provoke the attack and wished to resist—no, if that fcountry was already in the war (declared), or if they were willing to submit to foreign rule.” 5. d. Would you be willing if the United States maritime rights were violated: i. e. if American ships were sunk with American passengers aboard? Yes 48; No 50. | Two opinions appear: first, “if violations continued and were. un- explained, yes;” second, “if the ‘|President’s recommendations were enacted into law, I think, this ques- tion would be largely removed.” 5. e.

The comments are: “yes, to me the turning point of the neutrality issue;”” “only “A democracy were sure to survive.’ In addition to these specifie com- ments, the following extended opinion was given by one student: “The United States must, if pos- sible, keep out of this war. But in the event of our entrance into it, opposition by the youth, so ealled, is childish and stupid. I know that I voice the ‘opinion of. many when I say that I would have no respect for anyone who would not stand by his country. I say this despite the sight of six- teen of my own family who would be among the first to see action in the event of war. “The first thing American youth. better realize is that they are not the ones who fight the wars. Such a view is the extreme in selfish- ness. Everyone fights: the war, all ages are affected by it, whether on the front or‘at home. “I am no, pacifist—I am not fgr peace at the price of freedom. I ‘am _ patriotic about my country’s liberty even though patriotism seems to be outmoded. But I insist that the attitude of so many Ameri- can youth—that they say they will refuse to fight, and would rather tbe shot, unless, of course, there is a recognizable reason, such as re- ligious principles, why they should not (the Quakers, for example, do more good keeping out of. the lines than in them), this attitude is un- dermining our country, it is cow- ardly, and in another - generation, it: would have been called treason. “I.am firm in my belief that American youth should stand to- gether at this. time, but not in an attitude of cowardice and fear.

The directors of the Delaware Group were faced with the task of deporting forty-three students from France, in“competition with some 9800 other Americans. The four of us who were in the Dela- ware Group look. back upon our -month in France as one spent in a more or less ‘constant state jof evacuation. The first week, after a brief glimpse of Paris, was taken up at ‘Tours in tentatively unpacking our trunks, arranging our cqurses, and learning how to carry on ‘desultory conversations in French. As Tours was a mobilization center, we soon became accustomed to seeing troops anywhere and everywhere. It seemed surprisingly easy to believe ‘that the world was merely passing through another September “crise.” By Friday, with the news of Hit- ler’s attack on Poland, the “pre- cautionary measure” of evacuating the group from Tours suddenly seemed not only advisable, but necessary. . On Sunday we were taken, in the last unrequisitioned bus to be found, to the Breton sea- port town of St. Nazaire. War seemed ludicrously remote and im- possible’ as we drove through the peaceful and beautiful province. of Plantagenet Anjou and through tiny, inactive Breton villagdés. The actual declarations of war, when we learned of them, sounded ab- _surd and utterly incomprehensible.

After ten days of provisional classes, sun bathing, swimming and bicycling, we set off for Bordeaux, once more ensconced in practically priceless buses, to await the sailing of the Roosevelt and the Manhattan. Bordeaux contained, among other things, an almost infinite number of wild-eyed, penniless Americans, laying continual seige to the con- sulate and the harried officials of the United States Lines. Happily, we were excluded from that un- fortunate group. Our directors, ’with vast efficiency and patience, had obtained for us comparatively luxt.ious accommodations at the Cité Universitaire and our pas- sages, split up. between the Roose- velt and- the Manhattan, were finally and definitely assured. When the Manhattan sailed, dis- playing large and : comforting American flags on her sides, she carried, esides a portion of the Delaware Group, a fantastic assort- ment of“people. Toscanini, Stra- vinsky, Lord Beaverbrook, Helena Rubenstein,.a mélange of chorus girls and cowboys and some 1800 others were crammed into every available nook and cranny. The experience, as one looks back on it, seems a curiously de- tached and unreal one. It was at times shockingly easy to realize that the country was in a state of war; at other times it required an almost absurd stretch of the imagination. Whatever one’s reac- tions, it was impossible not to carry away a very clear impression of the formidable courage and deter- mination of the French people. R 104) Q S & = e New Course Covers Eighteenth Century Four Departments Combined To Givyg;General Surveys. Of the Period : Last spring four undergraduates arbitrarily descended upon four members of the faculty and asked for a course on the 18th century. Their plans were vague, other than that the cotirse was to cover the history, philosophy, economics, lit- erature, and science of the period, and that it would proceed through student reports in the various fields, and conclude without an examina: tion. Th’'s 18th century course has now materialized/under the supervision of Miss Caroline Robbins, associate Professor of History; Mrs. Grace DeLaguna, Professor of Philoso- phy; Miss Mildred Northrup, assis- tant Professor of Economics, “and Miss K. Laurence Stapleton, assis- tant Professor of English. The course will cover the period opening with the publication of Newton’s Principia, covering the spread of the doctrine of “enlight- eyment,” and closing with the out- break of the French Revolution. During the first semester, empha- sis will be placed upon the material background of the time and will in- clude such topics as the extent of geographical knowledge, the state of education, and the‘ organization Much has already been said on the subject; but such incredible forti- tude in the face of catastrophe cannot be forgotten in a hurry by anyone who has witnessed it. 60 Workers Attend New Summer School Continued from Page One - Non-compulsory courses, such as political philosophy, were also off- ered for ‘those interested. Many of the students had had little sci- entific training and were shocked to hear a professor state the opin- ion that God did not create Adam from the dust. Several refused to believe that man still has the vestiges of a tail. \The students were separated into three unit8 when attending classes. of economic life. For the first week’s assignment, half-hour re- ports are to be given ‘on: ‘Daniel Defoe’s A Tour Through Great Britain; William Dampier’s Voy- age to the New World; and ‘on the “orand tour’ as portrayed by sev- eral English and French writers.

Workers’ education and women’s education will be examined, and the claims for each will be set forth by the groups who represent them.

Method of Reason Necessary Today| Continued from Page One’ easily and quickly perpetrated, since it is emotional and instinc- tive and depends only on the will of one man, class or party. Civili- zation cannot endure the destruc- tiveness of such force which de- stroys “not only the physical life of the individual, or the nation,. but the creative instincts of man.” “As American citizens,” Miss Park said, “you are bound to acknowl- edge this particular idea as fun- damental to life and liberty.” Our democracy was drawn up to rely on reason and we still believe it to be the basis of government. It is necessary, therefore, for a multitude of persons to resolve to study and apply reason, and it is possible for college students to form a part of this multitude. Miss Park urged students to find od to.current problems. She ap- pealed to every student to combine her studies with the study of the method of reason, to think inde- pendently on the basis of experi- ence and fact. “Catch yourself,” she said, “in inconsist2ne.es and false analogies. See to it that your-argument in a discussion is not disputation, but has its roots. ‘Learn to hold your judgment fluid.” As means of relating our daily tion, Miss Park also mentioned the absorption of information and the actual giving of charitable help. She suggested that informal dis- cussion follow all speeches on cur- tent affairs and encouraged special- ized study of information, propa- ganda and the evaluation of fact.
