" HE COLLEGE VOL. XXIV, No. 24 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 1938 Copyright TRUSTEES OF BRYN MAWR COLLEGE, 1938° PRICE 10 CENTS is Well ‘Patience’ Directed by Alwyne, But Choruses Weak Principals Carry Performance With Farcical Overacting, Clear Voices ANNE KIDDER PROVES A NATURAL PATIENCE Goodhart, April 30. — Patience, the Glee Club’s Gilbert and Sullivan operetta for this year, given for the benefit of the record library, played to an audience of nearly 1000. The performance was distinguished by the acting of its leading characters, who triumphed over the generally uneven singing of the other 45 supporting players. Under Mr. Alwyne’s direction the acting was excellent in: spots, espé<| cially sprightly in the second act. The : brilliant costumes of the drooping maidens in the finale proved to be a welcome change and climax. Best remembered twenty years from now will probably be Terry Ferrer, 40, the Mikado’s Lord High Execu- tioner, as Bunthorne. In his green velvet suit and pancake hat, with drooping lily and disjointed gait, the implausible Bunthorne dominated all his scenes. His singing and speaking were so clear and distinct that he could be heard even in the last rows of the balcony. Bunthorne and Lady Jane rated two, encores from the Sat- urday evening audience, who wanted more of their tripping and verbal _. parries. Camilla Riggs, ’40, as the ‘“‘massive” Lady Jane, also sang clearly and pow- erfully. Her characterization was ridiculously farcical, her bass viol solo was pathetic—but the look she gave the orchestra member who forgot to bow his instrument when she did was in a class all by itself. Although her voice was not strong, Cornelia Kellogg, °39, was~a~ most successful and beautiful Grosvenor. Very picturesque in black, she added smug faces and graceful gestures to her skillful acting of a character, which she describes mildly as “soupy.” She made her transition into a check- ered suit and short hair so profession- ally, that at first we felt she was a different person. re Because Patience is simple and un- affected, she could not have been more appropriately portrayed than she was by Anne. Kidder, ’41. With her yellow hair in pigtails, she was a naive, bewildered maiden with just the right shade of awkwardness in her feet. “My shoes and stockings Continued on Page Five Duncanites’ Withdrawal. — Postpones Dance Forum Modern Group Plans to Feature Weidman mene usd 10 > \ ey. TS y ¥ Because of the last-minute with- drawal of the Duncan dancers from the Dancers Club Forum, the date has been advanced to Tuesday, May 10. The added rehearsal time will give the Modern group a chance to lengthen their program and add the technique of. other modern schools, particularly that of Charles Weidman. The group is planning to conclude - their program with Affirmation which is the final movement of the dance, Quest, written for the Weidman group. This movement interprets the end of a search for new technique and eman- cipation from the older and ‘moré con- fining forms of the dance. This dance is difficult in its execu- tion as two groups dance continually in contrapuntal rhythm with the em- phasis shifting from one group to the other. It is an ambitious work for a group as inexperienced as this, but will give ample evidence of both Miss Doris Humphrey’s ability as a teacher and the persistent training of Ethel Mann. It is possible that Mr. Charles Weidman himself will attend some of the rehearsals. L. J. a Terry Ferrer, ’40, ‘and Anne Kidder, ’41 Qamilla Riggs, ’40 Gay Traces Growth Of Modern Industry Commerce Becomes Centralized And Individualistic; Cyclical Waves Begin HOME TRADE MOST VITAL Goodhart, May 2.—In his fifth lec- ture, Dr. Edwin Gay discussed the expansion of English commerce dur- ing the sixteenth and seventeenth cen- turies. He dealt particularly with the changes in foreign and-domestic trade. The growth of foreign trade was the most brilliant and spectacular of the two. It was caused, first, by the discoveries of new lands with fresh stores of precious metals. Because of the rise of prices throughout the period, _England needed. gold and silver. Consequently, many of the great tr g companies of the time were oryginally founded to search for new territories with new sources of supply. The second reason forthe expan- sion_of foreign commerce was the lure of trade. There was a great de- mand for tropical products; spices, silks, rugs, 1 ee and drugs. It was in an effort-to supplement supplies of such luxuries that the English first tried to obtain colonies in the new world. When France and Spain had occupied all the more suitable terri- tories, attempts were even made to raise silkworms in the northern tem- perate regions and to grow figs as far north as New Haven. The displacement of Antwerp as the dominating European market was the third cause of the rise. of foreign trade. Antwerp had been ruined by the Spanish invasions and by the crisis that followed the wild specula- tion of 1565. This gave the English merchants an opportunity to force their way into the German trade that had formerly been controlled by the Hanseatic League. London, not Ant- werp, became the financjal center of|- the western world. The government, no ‘longer able. to. fall back on, Eu- ropean resources, had to build up this new financial power inorder to meet its own needs. This influx of wealth was followed by waves of speculation.

Oe Physics and Chemistry ~Majors Describe Work Advanced Research is Reported at Science Club Meeting Common Room, May 2—At its last formal meeting of the year, the Sci- ence Club heard four of its own mem- bers speak. Gene Irish, ’39, sharer of the Charles S. Hinchman prize for 1938-39, explained the work she has begun with monomolecular films for her honors in physics. Elizabeth Web- 388, described her research in organic chemistry. - Eleanor Benditt, 39, reported on the Intercollegiate Students’ Chemist Convention, ahd Helen Hamilton, ’39, gave demonstra- tions of filtering in connection with her construction of an amplifier. Gene Irish is working with Mr. Wal- ter C. Michels films in order to test their electrical conductivity. She described the meth- ods in forming these films which have been developed by Katherine Blodgett at the General Electric laboratories. The molecule of barium stearate is large and complex. One end has an affinity for water (hydrophilic) and the other is hydrophobic.In the prep- aration of films a drop of barium stearate is floated on pure water in a special trough, An enclosing string serves as a badrier around the area in which this Arop spreads. Outside the string is a film of castor oil which maintains a-pressure on the string so that the coating of barium stearate will be uniform. This film is a single molecule thick and they are arranged with their hy- drophobic tails perpendicular-to~ the water. The heads of the molecules, will adhere to a glass slide raised sideways through the film so that a layer comes off on the slide. This delicate pro- cedure can.be continued to build films of any desired thickness.

Struggling from their beds into a literal “gray dawn,’ they irritably grabbed May baskets and stomped: up and down singing mournfully. The ditty began Headaches, headaches, and the gloom was intensified by the nox- ious tune, Heigho. They were ostensibly cheered, how- ever, by the suffering of the seniors whom they stirred slowly and pain- fully one by one. While the seniors dressed, the conscientious sophomores made coffee. That is one or two did, others played rummy and slept. The two French House sophomores - had an especially trying time singing a duet to the four resident seniors. Fortified with tepid coffee and equally tepid doughnuts, the Class of 1938 hastened off to Rockefeller Tow- er to sing. From below only a frantic black arm keeping time was visible in the rising sun. When they descend- ed, diminutive Mary Sands, president of the Senior class received her regal wreath and an embrace from Louise Sharp, sophomore president. Fortified once more, the seniors, led by the village band and Julia Grant, president of Undergraduate “Associa- tion, skipped up from Rockefeller to Merion Green where the other classes joined them. Although Julia Grant’s position ‘naturally emphasized her May skip, it was in itself interesting and unique. The Maypole dancers from each class took up their ribbons at their re- spective poles and began to act, as a member of the Science faculty neatly put it, like composite electrons. All It not only defied the laws of physics, but got into the most awful tangle possible in a given length of time. Miss Park next presented a_neck- lace of Florentine silver to Mary Sands, which, she said, was an ex- pression of emotional esteem. After thanking Miss Park with a “fine Florentine fourteenth century frenzy” the 19388 president made what she termed a “nightmare speech.” Chanted in part and sung to tunes vaguely reminiscent of Patience, it was an as- tute comment-on the ways and mean: ing of May Day: “To the Maypole let us on Straight to Miss Park’s here we go To leave a basket at her front do’,” Prophecy, as*is common in dreams, played an important. part: “89 lovesick maidens we, Rolling" Hoops-down Senior Hill, 20 years hence will we be 89 lovesick maidens still.” After the ceremony. on the Green, was held in Goodhart. The hoop rolling race which followed was won by Blanea Noel, ’38. .

ELIZABETH DODGE, ’41, WINS ENGLISH PRIZE Goodhart Hall, May 2—In May Day Chapel President’ Park announced the awards of graduate and undergradu- ate scholarships and prizes for 1938- 39. In .explaining the faith shown by the Gellege,:nat only in these special scholars, but in every student, Miss Park asserted that “the trained mind is’ the: cutting edge of civilization.” Endowment. pays "half the actual cost of. undergraduate and five sev- enths of graduate tuition. For return on the investment the only expecta- tion is the contribution each student may make in the furtherance of civil- ization. A .confidence that educated minds are desirable has prompted the following awards. Gene Irish, ’389, and Grace Seles witz, ’39, were awarded the Charles S. Hinchman Memorial Scholarship for greatest ability in the major sub- jects. The papers submitted to the fac- ulty committee by both students were, said Miss’Park, exceptionally mature in their treatment and_ technically suitable for publication..As the mem- ber of the junior class with the high- est average, Grace Dolowitz also re- ceived the Maria L. Eastman Brooke Hall Memorial Scholarship. Among the graduate appointments, Miss Park announced that a Guggen- heim Fellowship. had been awarded to Virginia Grace, who graduated from Bryn Mawr in 1922 and received her Ph. D. here in 1934. Frances Blank, graduate’ scholar in Latin at Bryn Mawr during the past year, received the highly competitive schol- arship for two years study at the American Academy in Rome. A Law School Research Grant at Harvard University for next year has been. awarded to Bertha Haven Put- nam, Bryn Mawr, ’93. This is the first time such a grant has ever been given to a woman. Miss Park alsg announced five new- ly established awards. The Edwin Gould Foundation has endowed three scholarships to continue for the four years: of undergraduate study. Mem- bers of the Class of 1935 have given the Cary Page Memorial Scholarship, while’ a prize for excellence in Eco- nomics was donated in memory of Margaret Jeanne von Rehling Quist- gaard by the class of 1937.

Following the election, Louise Morley, ’40, retiring president, . presented the remaining business of the year. Boxes for the collection of funds for the Philadelphia Peace Chest will be placed in every hall. The drive is be- ing sponsored by the Womens’ Inter- national League for Peace and Free- dom. Individual members of the Coun- cil will solicit both signatures and contributions to help finance. the World Youth Congress to be held at Vassar in August. The signatures will be placed in a-general book-of wel- come to the delegates from 48 coun- tries. Sums as low as.ten cents will be gladly received. ‘The report on the Philadelphia Peace Council was read, but’it was de- cided to delay the question of affilia-. tion until next year.

Let There be Light A eollege as-small as. Bryn Mawr will never have large audiences. | In addition to a full program of studies most students have at least one extra-curricular activity which fills up their spare moments, leaving them no opportunity to watch others shine. However, itsis our belief (and we hope that we do not sound too much like Pollyanna), that the value of these activities lies in doing them and not in seeing them done. For this reason we stand firm in the idea that the Lantern should not die, and next year unless it receives wider support, it stands in grave danger of becoming, like public-hoop presentation, a dead tradition. The work of the small group of dependable contributors has become dulled by repetition. Their writing lacks spirit and originality—an inevitable result of indifference. They cannot continue to supply worthwhile material without stimulus and without competition. The fact that we have an. organ for literary publication means a great deal. It means that if we write, we have a place to submit our efforts and to learn by mutual comparison and outside criticism. To every person who has any creative or critical ability, and there must be many on campus, it should be a spur to more ii ae and more mature writing. The Lantern is having an admittedly low period. The quantity and quality of Bryn Mawr literary production is sunk in a little regres- sion all its own. But abolishing the organ which sponsors such produc- tion would be as conducive of improvement as Ss bombing Wall Street to create a stock rise. sig ay Energy and organization, a wider point of view and-a -moderately interested student body are needed. If every college in village and hamlet can sponsor a lively, if not literary, publication, what is the matter with our highly cultivated intelligentsia? A severe attack of inertia, nothing more. Oh, Come All Ye Faithful On Friday night, the Players’ Club is giving two. one-act. plays, Passion, Poison and Petrifaction and Trifles, for the benefit of the Theatre Workshop, producing them with the utmost simplicity to cur- tail expenses. They were chosen last year after painstaking thought, but due to various vicissitudes, have been in embryonic form until now. ’ It is generally admitted that the Players’ Club is most successful in its informal, almost impromptu undertakings, where there is a spirit of camaraderie between audience and actors. Prominent in this hereditary line are The Faculty Rehearses for Cymbeline, and this year’s Hamlet, “which was produced by a series of spontaneous combustions. Passion, Poison and Petrifaction and Trifles are in the same tradition, even though they were not written, so to speak, within the gates. There seems to be a feeling that because of the absence of scenery in the two plays, there should be a corresponding reduction in prices. We deny the fact that scenery has anything to do with priées. Artistic- ally, the Players’ Club has a precedent in drama from its very begin- nings, and audiences in the past have always been able to create mental backgrounds and to enjoy this imaginative stimulus. Practically, there is an even better reason. The Players’ Club is giving a benefit per- formance, and hopes that people who are interested in the Theater Workshop will consider this a pleasant opportunity to contribute to it. The fact is that we are very blatantly trying to drum up trade. The casual glance at a poster, the ina¢tive expression of approval, is not) enough, This kind of simple amateur activity is our white hope; it should be the most flourishing plant in our somewhat barren dramatic ‘ soil. But like any plant, it thrives on encouragement, and wilts very quickly without proper care. © fs os an bert, Gary Cooper i.

PUBLIC OPINION To the Editor of the College News: Are Bryn Mawr College students and faculty aware that a concert was given by one of Europe’s leading mus- icians? And, lastly, are they aware that the behavior of the audience was the finest exhibition this writer has witnessed of how not to behave at a concert? It is extremely doubtful that they would know this, for there were only about four (4) students and. lit- tle more faculty present at the concert given by Nadia Boulanger and three singers. Perhaps this is an example of the blasé attitude Bryn Mawr stu- dents sometimes assume; or perhaps it is just indifference to the music of Schiitz, too rarely heard, (and which Swarthmore College is now record- ing), of Bach, or of Frangais, (who is being acclaimed in London, Paris and Rome; as one of the most ‘:promis- ing contemporary composers). There was, however, nothing indifferent about the audience; they knitted, car- ried on quite intelligible conversations, arrived late, left early, and found the room most pleasant to wander around in. Then, not to be forgotten, were the two old ladies, much too old to have ventured out on such an early spring day, spring days are for tea drinkers who never take cream but become real- ly hilarious over one lump of sugar.

Northhampton, Mass., April 23 — The contribution of the National Stu- - dents Federation of America to the eastern women’s colleges was the chief topic of discussion at the annual Five- College Conference, held this year at. Smith. Suzanne Williams, ’38, retir- ing president of the Self-Government Association, and #leanor Taft, ’39, president of the Undergraduate As- sociation, attended the conference, to which Smith, Vassar, Wellesley, and Mount Holyoke also sent delegates. The N. S. F.: A. prdblem was brought up at the 1937 Conference by Wellesley, who had dropped member- ship in the organization, feeling it to be of no value. After some discussion,’ the other four colleges. voted to ob- serve the N. S. F. A. activities for a year and to come to a decision about membership at the 1938 Conference. At the recent meeting all felt that, although the .N. S. F. A. had offered little directly to them, the importance of membership lay in advising less well organized colleges on problems of student government. It was decided, therefore, to retain membership and to take a more effective part in N. S. F.. A. activities, pethaps through a system of sister colleges in order to have direct communication between the five colleges and smaller, less established ones. It was decided fur- ther t all political action at N. S. F. A. conferences should be relegated to a sub-committee in the belief, that student government organizations should limit themselves to the dis- cussion of problems within their own jurisdiction and not enter’ actively in- to politics. Wellesley brought up the problem of an inefficient point system and an overcrowded social schedule. These have resulted in faculty complaints and a falling-off of academic work. It was suggested that the point sys- - tems of the other colleges bevreferred to and that a central bureau be or- ganized through which all social events should be arranged. Wellesley also requested information about sys- tems of election of hall-presidents and of registration for absence from col- lege. Vassar brought up the question of mid-year examination systems in con- nection with a new plan which has gone into effect there this year. The plan does away with mid-year exams in one year courses in an attempt to integrate the year’s work more thor- oughly. As the system stands now, however, professors desiring to give mid-years can do so, although no exam period is provided. The under- graduates feel that this is unfair and that either the exams should be com- pletely abolished or sqme provision be made for the few given. The system of reading periods was also discussed, especially the new plan at Smith which provides for a reading period in the middle of each semester. Wellesley asked the other colleges about the use of petitions to the fac- ulty. Smith feels that their faculty is antagonistic to petitions, but all the colleges agreed that petitions sent through: the student council rather than directly from students to faculty were more effective. By this means many unimportant matters are elimin- ated. The problem of the A. S. U. varied in importance on different, campuses. For colleges such as Vassar where it is particularly active, it was suggested that the student. government associa- tions cooperate with it as far as pos- - sible in an effort to eliminate its working at cross purposes with other campus organizations. Vassar explained its newly-organ- ized Student Welfare Committee which has had amazing success in pro- moting cooperation between the medi- cal staff andthe... _Faiietes.. It ‘is made up of 12 people, mostly pre- medical students, a chairman, appoint- | ed by the head of the Student.Council,- and a college physician as adviser. Its activities include taking .suggestions , and criticisms from the students to the medical staff and vice-versa, cam- paigning against noise, working for better lighting and consulting with the Curriculum Committee about the es of academic work. ba J THE COLLEGE NEWS Page Three Estelle Dennis Gives_ ~ Varied Dance Recital Modern Techniques, Classical Modes Combined to Form New Art Style. At the Philadelphia Art Alliance, Estelle Dennis and her group pre- sented a dance recital on April 27. Miss Dennis calls herself a modern dramatic dancer. She tries to incor- porate in her technique the strength and vitality of the «contemporary dance without sacrificing the lyrical quality or classical and ballet training. It is an effort to blend the charac- teristics of the conservative classicist with the radical modernist. Unfortu- nately, the aim is not achieved. The modern danice suffers from the in- fusion of the classic; the classic is weak, and the onlooker sighs with relief when Miss Dennis relaxes into a semi-comic number where her own excellent ability is unhampered by compromise. Miss Dennis moves gracefully and clearly, bringing out delicate shades of meaning ‘in her performance. How- ever, she seems to lack strength, and is at her best in “frothy” compositions. Perpetual Motion is an example. It concerns a dancer who, attempting to find herself, sees the comic side of art- Modern, Ballet, Interpretive. Finally, while depicting an old man with the ‘gout trying the minuet, she gets a kink herself. A set of Mexican dances proved to be the least interesting of the pro- gram. Here, Miss Dennis portrayed a peasant,.a rich woman, an old mar- ket woman, and an American girl doing the Sandungo for the first time. The last, called a satire, was danger- ously near an imitation of her own troupe, who, unfortunately, do not have their teacher’s terpsichorean ability. The last number on the varied pro- gram was Classical Symphony in four movements. Each movement. illus- trated a different form of~the dance, ca BENEFIT FOR THEATRE WORKSHOP ARRANGED To add to the 5000 dollars already collected for the construction of the Workshop, friends of Mrs. Skinner on and off the stage have collaborated to give a benefit entertainment. The per- formance will be at the Ambassador Theatre, New York City, Thursday evening, May 8. Orchestra seats cost five dollars, the first five balcony rows three dollars and 50 cents, and the other balcony seats one dollar and 50 cents. Mrs. Frances Rogers will open -the program with a reading of Charles Hanson Towne’s poem T'o the Memory of Mrs. Otis Skinner. The program will also include Sara Allgood and Dudley Digges in The Whiteheaded Boy, by..Lennox. Robinson;. Gertrude Lawrence, Edith Atwater, Fred Les- lie, and Paul McGrath in Inaudibility, from the Original Charlot Review, and the drugstore scene from Our*Town, with Frank Craven, Martha Scott and John Craven. Norman Cordon will sing, and following an intermission, Cornelia Otis Skinner will give The Empress, Eugénie. Ballet, Interpretive, Modern, and the dance of the future. Although this sort of composition is becoming. the stock-in-trade of every modern dancer, it has a certain value. A ‘danced comparison of three forms of art can be a more eloquent plea for the futuré forms of dancing than a hundred/lectures or books. The weakest point in Miss Dennis’ school of dancing is the lack of fusion among the various dance forms she professes to incorporate. One can pick out a Weidman leap here, a Wig- man movement there, the neck move- ment of Shan-Kar and the arm-flow of the Duncanites. As a result the group lacks vitality and freshness. Miss Dennis also designed the cos- tumes with the exception of the Mexi- can ones. Contrasting colors were used, but often the costumes in stress- ing dramatic presentation, hampered the best interests of movement.

Swan Led Expedition To Record Folk Songs Russian Music European Korenko Sings Lyrics Says The Deanery, May 1—Professor Al- fred J. Swan, director of music at Swarthmore and Haverford Colleges, lectured on Russian folk music in the Baltic countries. Mme. Maria Kerenko, a lyric soprano, accompanied him, and recordings of Russian peasant song's illustrated the lecture. In 1936 Professor Swan, an author- ity on this type of peasant music, led an expedition to Pscov, an outpost of Russian culture, in order to record Russian melodies, previously unwrit- ten and unheard of outside the vicin- ity. Pscov, a far village on the Gulf of Finland, is the site of a monastery known for its sixteenth century music manuscripts. Among these are treat- ises important because they “furnish clues to the transcription of medieval songs. c Contrary to general opinion, de- clared Professor Swan, Russian folk songs are like other European peasant songs, proving that Russian tradition is European, not Asiatic. These melo- dies are based on a natural scale, with harmonizing variants on the same theme. The natural scale, progressive fifths and a strange rhythm give the songs a fantastic sound, unique to the Russian peoples. To illustrate these peculiar features of Russian peasant music, Professor Swan played parts of a peasant marriage ceremony, never before recorded. Mme. Korenko’s sing- ing illustrated typical Russian themes, accompanied on the piano by Professor Swan. GAY CIRCUS’ POSTERS LEND COLOR TO DANCE Gymnasium, April 30.—The hordes attending the dance after Patience were pleasantly surprised to find the Gymn looking less like itself than usual. “As they came on the floor they were confronted on all sides by post- ers advertising “The Greatest Show on Earth.” with a strong resemblance to King- A man-eating -gorilla Kong glared with gnashing teeth from the north wall, while opposite the Ringling Bros.’ herd of pigmy ele- phants was depicted in all its glory. Scores of smaller animals cut out of beaverboard gambolled upon the wall- bars until they were seized as sou- venirs. The posters, it appeared, were quite genuine and had been secured gratis from an advertising agency by a mem- ber of the committee, as the result of a slight adventure. She found the agency wide open on Saturday after- noon, but nobody home. After wait- ing for a while she calmly rummaged the desk until she found the name and telephone number of the owner. That gentleman was rudely surprised to hear that someone was at that moment sitting in his office, and his first reaction was, “But the money’s all in the safe!” Assured that his client was an honest Bryn Mawr girl, he promised to rush over immediately, and upon his arrival was only too glad to grant her every wish. This little ‘episode produced most of the decorations which gave the dance a true circus atmosphere. The theme was carried out. in the refresh- ments, which included ice cream cones, peanuts, and punch which was as near as possible to pink lemonade without being undrinkable. Mrs, Chadwick-Collins received with Emily Tuckerman, chairman of the Dance Committee, and Eleanor Taft, head of the Undergraduate Associa- tion. Graham and Eichorn’s Seren- aders supplied the music. | Fencers Competing for College Championship Miniature Gold Foils + Swords to be Awarded Monsieur Marcel Pasche, fencing instructor at Bryn Mawr, is sponsor- ing a tournament for his classes. It is to be a round robin consisting of 150 bouts, and twenty bouts will be played off each session, There are eighteen contestants who are competing for the title of fencing champion of Bryn Mawr and for the prizes that M. Pasche is offering. In order to give the girls who have never fenced before a fair chance, there will be a first and second prize for both the Junior and Senior fenc- ers. The competition ends on May 15. Monsieur Pasche stated that the fencing is progressing well and that he hopes for larger classes, longer hours, and more sessions next year. The fencers plan to have at least five meets next season,’ since there has been a great deal of interest shown in this sport. Insignia were given to the fencing team for the first time this year. Al- though the team lost to Swarthmore, 5-4, Dana, 89, and D. Smith, 740, placed in’ the Amateur Fencer’s League of America meet which was held here at Bryn Mawr. Dorothea Smith, ’40, is manager of the Bryn Mawr fencers. ALLEN, CONVERSE TO DANCE On May 12, Bonnie Allen, ’38, and Betty Converse, 732, will dance at a dinner given for 1500 members by the Garden Club of America. They were chosen by Mrs. J. Stogdell Stokes, a member of the Garden Party Com- mittee. when she discovered Miss Allen and Miss Converse in Miss Pett’s advanced class. Miss Converse graduated from Bryn Mawr in ’32 and is now an as- sistant to Miss Petts. They will do a number of original dances on steps and landing's. —— i PP RIK SN ~ MEL KOONTZ—FAMOUS HOLLYWOOD ANIMAL TAMER—WRESTLES A FULL-GROWN LION! shows himself complete master of * the savage beast.

The Second Annual Exhibit being held in the Common Room this week, shows progress in technical and artistic abil- ity since last year. The exhibit i¢ divided into two sec- tions, one for undergraduates and one for faculty, alumnae, and others con- nected with the. college. The club awarded ribbons in each division, and a grand prize of a roll of colored film, which was won by Fairchild Bowler, 40, with her photograph, Night. This picture shows a: remarkable feeling for composition and lighting effects, as well as a technical skill. which enabled the photographer to catch the dreary mood of a rainy night without sacrificing clarity of detail. A blue ribbon went to Thomas Coop- er Tatman, of Haverford College, for his spirited snap of a group of young people in a German railway carriege. Here again excellent composition in light and shade makes an everyday scene the subject of an extremply in- teresting’ picture. Carolyn Shine, ’89, took a second and third award for two pictures tak- en in Mexico. The most unusual is photographed from above and shows a band of donkeys‘ crossing an open square on the way to market. Of the undergraduate photograph- ers, Doris Turner, ’389, proves herself the most versatile. Her pictures in- clude several landscapes, action pic- tures of Patience and an interesting study entitled Girders. Although the subject, riveters working on steel gir- ders outlined against the sky, is hack- neyed and slightly reminiscent of ad- vertisements in.Fortune, her treat- ment is fresh, and by bringing out the diagonal lines makes a satisfying composition. In the faculty section, Miss Caro- line Robbins’ Palmetto Bark is inter- esting because it shows the texture of the bark se®beautifully, and uses the diamond pattern of the overlapping slabs to advantage. The same fine texture is seen in another of Miss Robbins’ entries called Rain. Over Northumberland, where the details of waying grass in the foreground set ‘off the héavy clouds above. Mr. Stephen J. Herben’s Deep South might have been taken from You Have Seen Their Faces, by Erskine Cald- ' well and Margaret Bourke-White, it is so convincing in the utter misery, it depicts. Mr. Herben always expresses a definite idea in his photographs. In ' Pennsylvania the Beautiful he” be- comes effectively ironic. An unusual exhilft of color photo- graphs mounted as slides and viewed in a special frame with light behind won special mention for Martha Kent, 41. Although of miniature camera size the pictures showed brilliant col- or, fine detail and beautiful: cloud effects. ‘It is unfortunate that the Camera, Club does not try more portrait work. With the exception of small snapshots of actors in Patience, only one picture, of Sarah Meigs as Hamlet, was of this type. . The Art,.Club, also has, its work on exhibit in the Common Room this week.. Helen Cobb, ’40, has contributed an interesting water-color, in which she handles this difficult medium with sureness and an eye for color. Most of \the other~works~are~life-stud 2: ‘one in charcoal with varying degrees of skill. Among these Jane Harper’s drawings, though rough, show a prom- ising talent.

EXCERPTS from EXILE Nous Avons Fait un Beau Voyage Yesterday our arrival at the Gare de Lyon was like coming out of the blinding sun into a Victoxzian back hallway. Polliwog-like,. the P. L. M. (Paris, Lyon, Méditerrannée) had left a tail of tiled roofs, out-door stair- ways, grilled windows, pines and cy- presses, far behind; skies and color had turned into drizzling airlessness, south had metamorphosed into north; the vacation was over. Two weeks before the process was reversed. After 10 hours in the train, a bristling purple island in the dis- tance suddenly came into focus. We had arrived at Avignon: the Palais des Papes, a glistening piece of ivory soap in the daytime, a thédtre roman- tique ‘décor in the moonlight; the place, a musical comedy setting flanked with cafés, animated by the continual va et vient of beautiful Mo- rocean soldiers in bright blues and reds, overwhelming numbers of girls fitted out in their Sunday best, nuns, priests and tourists; the houses\ bar- nacle-roofed little shells left in hollow slopes. The country is dry, twisted Van Gogh saw it. The trees are wrung out like laundry, the fields are burned grey, but the cypresses are deep green, the poppies like flames of color, and the olive trees, a constant shifting of green and silver. And. the skies! I used up the best blue in my paint-box the second day out. Aix-en-Provence, only an hour and a half away in the bus, is a different country: a circumference of purple mountains, a juxtaposition, of differ- ent greens, and red earth. Van Gogh gives way to Cézanne. The town itself has the deceptive appearance of a musty relic of the eighteenth century: court-yards, . grilled’: windows, “en- trahices” rathér than doors, balconies, statuary, souvenirs of Mme. de Sé- vigné, and a fountain always within hearing if not in sight. But the pre- sence of a fairly large university fills the streets and cafés with students, a near-by caserne provides soldiers, and every afternoon at four o’clock the thermal establishment expells volleys of its obese and aging clientéle, who ride up and down the main arteries of the town in shining fiacres, getting up an appetite before dining at the Ca- sino; Here they nightly undo all: the good of the day’s baths. Meanwhile “the natives of the town, gay, friendly, liberal in their compliments and bless- ed with an extraordinary capacity for doing nothing at all, play boules in the streets, converse in the cafés and sometimes just stand in their door- ways watching the world wag. ~ It is a contagious point of view. For ten days{we lay in the sun, ate and painted. Fhe colors give you such a punch -in the eye that painting is hardly mare than a reflex action. The shadow and light are so distinct that pine trees become patches of black and emerald, shot through with par- allel bars of light; the sky through their branches is like Chartres glass, all’the bluer for the heavy black pe- tween the panes, and the mountains, dominated by St. Victoire, form a con- stant back-ground of cream and violet. saw the world better than when he was shut up in the ark. This is my foremost consolation. Shivering in an unheated apartment, glittering visions of the south rise before me, probably shortlived. When the Paris sun decides to stop sulking in his tent, when the outdoor cafés are repopulated, when it becomes warm enough to wear my new suit, memories and regrets will evap- orate unmourned.

An earlier method has been modified by the substitution of sodium carbonate for hydroxide as a reagent. In their experiments with various nitrogen de- rivatives, they have obtained as much as 80 per gent of the theoretical yield. Eleanor Benditt was sent as a rep- resentative of the Science Club to the Students’ Chemist Convention at the University of Delaware, April 30. She criticized the reports that were read in the four hours of meetings. for their lack of original student work. They were mainly accounts of articles that had appeared in scientific journals. Such reports as those of Elizabeth Webster’ and Gene Irish of their own research would make the convention more interesting.....It..was suggested that the Science Club send a reépre- sentative next year who would read such a paper. Helen Hamilton played gramaphone records which showed the effects of overloading and filtering upon the tone of instruments. When the ampli- fier is overloaded, the sound is blur- red. The distinctive tones of a piano, cello and French horn were shown to depend upon their overtones. Filtering out all vibrations except the funda- mental note makes the three sounds almost™iMdistinguishable. As increas- ingly more of the overtones are. al- lowed to be heard, the. characteristic sounds are again audible. -In the French horn, which depends more than the other two on its higher over- tones, the distinction was noticeable between the free sound and one in which only all above the seventeenth. overtone were cut out. This opportunity to organize their research was as much appreciated by the advanced students who made the speeches as by their audience. Eliza- beth Webster, after the meeting, ex- ‘pressed her approval of this new idea for the Science Club and suggested it as a means of helping lower class- men gain an idea of what majoring in _ the various sciences would imply. The Science Club will have a supper picnic on May 12. The students have challenged the Science faculty to a baseball game at the picnic. JEANNETTE’S Bryn Mawr Flower Shop, Inc.

At the end of the seventh in- ning, the score was tied at 22-22, so the managers decided to play out the full nine. The largest crowd seen at any game this year came to cheer and help the teams with expert ad- vice: from the side-lines. Bryn Mawr made 37 hits to Vas- 21, but had 14 more errors, for whichNthe infielders were chiefly re- sponsible. Peggy Squibb, ’41, in left field caught two long flies and showed remarkable consistancy in the field and at bat. Dave Bakewell, 38, proved herself a steady and dependable first baseman, Bryr# Mawr used three pitchers. Hutchinson, ’40, started and later was replaced by deWolf, ’88, and Bridge- man, ’89. She: came in again in the ninth innifig, but was too late to save the game. Ogden pitched the entire game for Vassar, using a side-arm throw which put a baffling spin on the ball. She was credited with eight strike-outs. Bryn Mawr will play Haverford on Sunday, May 8, at 2 p. m. on the upper hockey field. Haverford will pitch un- derhand. The starting Line-up: order).

The chorus of 28 rapturpus Bryn Mawr maidens with their coyness and droopiness was in direct contrast to Patience. They never stepped out of character, and their languishing looks were enhanced by their pale, indeci- sive costumes. which theybelieved to be Early English. As the leader of the band, Mary Newberry, ’40, was the delightfully “inconsistent and in- constant Angela, with golden harp and brown curls. ’ However sad the maidens’ costumes, the stage sets did not suffer from its usual ailment of paleness. Margaret Bell, ’39, designed the scenery, bright in its modern, unusual treatment of trees and leaves. downstage during the first act brought out the shadows of the woods, con- trasting sharply with the costumes. The backgrounds harmonized well with the red, yellow and white cos- tumes of the dragoons. . Well-drilled and keeping their white-gloved hands stifly pointed down, the officers were almost unrecognizable in their mus- taches, helmets and makeup. The Colonel, Major and the Duke were utterly silly, a little too fatuous to be convincing. We have seldom seen a better bantam Duke than Mary Wickham, 740, nox a lankier, more loose-jointed Colonel than Ruth Stod- dard: Yet it was the roly-poly Major (Ellen Matteson, ’40, plus two and a half towels), that captured our heart as she danced clumsily, stiff and dimpled in her:tight»beige suit. Unfortunately, there were | not enough good singers in the cast to 4] produce a really excellent operetta. It was here that the orchestra, com- posed of members and former members of the Philadelphia Symphony Or- chestra, showed its skill under Mr. Willoughby’s direction, in not playing too loudly or too swiftly to drown out the voices.

By Sunbathing Passage e Phenomenal Confusion, Utter Despair, Revealed in Oral Starting with the premise that “the head is sorhething dangerous in a’sun bath, sometimes’ even. in the shade,” one unfortunate victim of the latest German oral went on to admit that, as a matter of fact, “the head is some- what removed in sunbathing.” The head, however, was not her only stumbling block, for later the same Germanophobe reaches the dark and enigmatical conclusion that “they often exchange the legs in the sun- bath,” The explanation for this seeming confusion about natural phenomena may lie in the inadequate conceptions of metaphysics and ethics which the subject seems to have formed. For instance, she asserts, “so common is it that modern man becomes again. a child of the sun, so itnportant is it that, as always and forever in life, supremacy is sought in sunbathing.’” Other incidental information about sunbathing, its means and effects, dicts. Although “the white heat is very dangerous,” nevertheless “you often take off the clothes (wechsle die Lage) in sunbathing.” . Failing this, “if you do not want to lie in the shade, then you must go out for a sunbath in the clouds and the rains.” With apologies to The New Yorker, the following can only be consigned sion: “Dr. Meyer could stand pat to all children, who suffer by increase of pains, and incident to the approach- ing kindling in the legs.” ‘Trifles’ and Shaw Farce Are to Use No Scenery Prop Managers Seek Bird Cage and a Fatal ‘ Gazogene One dollar, 75 cents, and 50 cents are the admission prices to Passion, Poison and Petrifaction and Trifles, to be presented by the Players’ Club on Friday evening at 8.30, for the benefit of the Mrs. Otis Skinner Thea- tre Workshop.

On the other hand, the uncontrolled English — privateering, broke the normal balance of trade, and interrupted the flow of supplies, while the undeclared war with Spain made the risks or loss very great. Under such circurmstances, commerce inevi- tably became highly speculative. This caused such a feeling of insecurity that the government was forced to in- tervene and try to stabilize conditions, thus resulting in trade and industrial monopolies. “But interesting as this foreign trade is,” said Dr. Gay, “the humdrum domestic ‘trade. was vastly more im- portant.” Regional specialization was just beginning, and from this time on, goods -were sent to London from more and more distant fields. This meant the end of self-sufficient little local centers. London was becoming more and more the metropolitan center and the national market. Provincial towns resented this, but could not prevent. it. During this period, the coal trade developed greatly. In Durham and Northumberland, which supplied Lon- don, there was a 14-18 fold increase between 1550 and 1580; in the Mid- lands, for the samie length of time, a 15 fold increase. \ The iron industry, however, was retarded because / no process had been discovered by which coal could be used to smelt iron ore. The-metal manufacturing trade, it is fue, increased, but used iron im- ported from Scandanavia or Spain. In 1624, the government tried to encourage invention by granting a temporary monopoly on/.new indus- tries. But although ‘many patents were taken out, most /were fantastic and useless. Glassymaking, “arma- ments and chemical-manufacture were the only industries that made any real advances. On thé other hand, the opening of new /lands proved most ‘come to them.

Smith, ’40, as first Junior mem- ber and chairman of the: Cut Committee; E. Tuckerman, ’40, as second Junior member and chairman ‘of the Dance Commit- tee; and E. Durning, ’41, as sophmore member. E. Durning was elected the Undergraduate member of the Peace Council. and in the first half of the seven- teenth century, colonization of Ireland and America was undertaken. This col- onization was especially backed and encouraged by the mercantile inter- ests, anxious for new markets and | sources of supply. Throughout thé period, these mer- cantile interests also were all moving gradually from the medieval point of view to the modern idea of individual- ism. The /first trading companies greatly resembled the older guilds. Their members did not go out seeking customers; their customerg Mad to they were not supposed to take each others’ clients or try to capture each othérs’ trade. Above all, they -were conservative, and unwilling to look for new fields. However, there was another, younger group of traders, who refused to obey the guild-companies or be bound by their” regulations. They were the independent wandering merchants, who first took their goods to Germany or the provincial subsi- diary: bodies of the great companies, and who first refused to maintain the professional exclusion of the mid- dleman. The. two parties came into conflict, the rebel merchants were de- manding “free trade,” in the cause of ‘open trading opportunity, while the guild-companies defended an orderly. system. Public opinion wavered be- tween the two, and the conflict was not settled in favor of individual trade expansion until the laws against it began to be rescinded by Parlia- successful. ‘The fens were drained,|ment nearly a hundred years later. owe é wp Vy.

Lee, ’41, played a consistently steady game to win from Mrs. Bass, 4-6, 6-2, 6-4. In the first doubles Lee combined with Auchincloss, ’40, and defeated Mrs. Bass and Miss Strougbhar, 9-7, |, 6-3., The Merion second doubles team, Mrs. Mecaskey and Mrs. Daly, yielded¢ to Whitmer, 39, and Laughlin, ’40, with the score, 9-7, 5-7, 6-3. Merion won its two points on the second and° third singles matches. Whitmer was defeated by Miss Strougbhar, 6-2, 6-8, and. Auchincloss by Mrs. Mecaskey, 6-3, 7-5. The three victories were all hard won and show that the Bryn Mawr players have managed to steady their games suc- cessfully. On Tuesday, May 3, the tennis team won its second victory of the season, beating the Germantown Cricket Club, 3-2. Lee,’’41, was again the outstanding Bryn Mawr player. Playing number one she defeated Miss Snyder, 6-3, 6-2. _The second singles match _ be- tween Whitmer, ’39, and Mrs. Connell went to Germantown. Whitmer won the first set, 8-6, but was forced into a defensive position in the second and third sets which she lost, 6-1, 6-2. Auchincloss, ’40, won the third singles from Mrs. Kerbaugh, 6-3, 6-3. In a contest lasting two and one- half hours Lee and Auchincloss, the first doubles team, managed to wear down Miss SnydeX& and Miss Gilling- ham, the final score being 10-8, 6-8, 7-5.. Laughlin, ’40, and Lazo, ’41, lost the second doubles match to Mrs. Ker- baugh and Mrs, Connell,’6-0, 8-6. The Bryn Mawr players’ inability to execute real forcing shots is their chief fault.
