B. M. Transfers Deplore Lack of Man Power:
‘Welcome Increased Liberty College Offers

 

By Patsy McKnew,. ’43 :

Many of Bryn -Mawr’s deadlier
rivals are represented in the col-
leges from which our eight new
transfer students hail. -Shirley:
Cruze went to Vassar for two
years, Marjorie Flood to Wellesley,
Louise Warner Lewis to’ Smith,
Barbara Haas to Wheaton, and
Anita McCarter to Wilson, The
West is represented by Dorcas
Dunklee from the University of
Colorado, Alice Judson from the
University of Chicago, and Ena
Borden Smith from Our. Lady of
the Lake College in San. Antonio.

Most of the girls seem to have
transferred either because they
wanted a change of environment
for their last two years, or be-
cause their families live near Phila-
delphia and they want to be with
them. Their opinions of Bryn
Mawr vary from “It’s the nearest
place to heaven!” to “I migs the

.men not being around.”

Size: and the _ co-educational
system seem to be the grounds for
the greatest differentes between
their former colleges and Bryn
Mawr. Student Government is less
strict in the larger universities,
where there are fewer rules but
more exclusive groups and cliques.
Except for the Universities, Bryn
Mawr leads in leniency of rules.
Vassar limits overnight permis-
sion; Smith is “too full of rules,”
says Louise Lewis; Wellesley de-
mands parental permission for ev-
ery overnight spent away from col-
lege. Self-Government is a univer-
sal organization, and most colleges
have self-organized political clubs

and public forums.

The larger colleges seem to have
more interest in campus news-
papers, because news really is news
on a big campus. This rule does
not hold however for the Phoenix,
of Our Lady of the Lake College,
which accepts contributions from
all students. ~

Bryn Mawr varies considerably
from the other colleges on the sub-
ject of required courses.. Most of
them require one language but
none have a system comparable to
our native oral inquisition, with
the exception of Smith, which de-
mands one exam in any language.
Only Our Lady of the Lake requires
philosophy. Some form of Eng-
lish must be studied at all other
colleges, either in composition or
literature, rarely both. At Wilson
College and the University of Chi-
cago two sciences are required, at

to be universally required, but the
method of presentation differs. At
Vassar, for instance, the course is
‘so frank that an average of three
girls a year faint and: have to be
carried out.

An interesting method for, re-
quired courses is used atthe. Uni-
versity of Chicago. Four survey
courses are required, one in a phys-
ical science, one in a_ biological
science, one in a social science, and
one in the humanities. Compre-
hensives are given in each at the
end of the year. They are all taken
during the freshman and _ soph-
omore years, and give the students
a wide survey of knowledge to aid
them in choosing majors.

 

VOGUE CRAZE
SWEEPS ROCK

By Marguerite Bogatko, ’41

Freshmen who have felt that the
canons laid down by Vogue and
College Bazaar are violated by the
Bryn Mawr campus, take notice!
Last Saturday night was the occa-
sion ‘of a spontaneous style and
fashion show in Rockefeller Hall.
It was a thing born out of the
night and inspired by a senior with
a new dress and time on her hands.

The whole thing was organized
by a ‘group of seniors who just
happéned not to be going out, They
bent all doubters and dissenters to
their will and the resulting produc-
tion was a glamorous line of
“Mimis,” “Madeleines,” and “Di-
anes” who sailed down the stairs
and-through the smoking room to
appropriate music. The large audi-
ence of non-participants was lured
by promises of feod and by sheer
disbelief.

Patty Spillers, ‘41 (Tamara),
wore a pair of red Dr. Denton’s
and swung a matching lantern.
Amid loud applause she circled the
room to the dulcet strains of
“Temptation.” Hooded house coats,
dinner dresses, evening gowns, ex-

 

traerdinary—hats, and spectacular.

day dresses all received their share
of attention. The models were
frankly well pleased with them-
selves and won the hearts of all
spectators with their friendly atti-

Junior Class Enticed
By Lure of Unknown

Of the girls who are spending
their junior years in other colleges,
or who have moved on to greener
fields, many have gone to Rad-
cliffe—Sheila Gamble, Mary Gum-
bart, Margaret Mason, Mary Sizer,
and Judith Sprenger. Barnard was
chosen by Sheila Cudahy, Thelma
Deck, and Helen Lyttle. The West
has called Naney Green to Leland
Stanford, Margery Minster to
Northwestern, Mary Williams to
the University of Wisconsin, Vir-
ginia L. Williams to the Univer-
sity of Chicago, and Theodora
Skoss to the University of Califor-
nia. Margaret Magrath is-at-Tor-
onto, Janet Meyer at McGill, and
Louisa Horton is at dramatic

Sir James Lyell popularized ge-
ology and proved to pedple that
Cuvier’s theory on catastrophism

was wrong. After teaching for a
few years, he devoted himself en-
tirely to an individual study of ge-
ology and an examination of others’
work in the field. In 1880 he pub-
lished his Principles of Geology in
which he explained that, although
the great catastrophes like the ice
age had actually existed, the puny
forces which are now in action
cause the gradual changes of the
earth’s surface.

Lyell’s influence on Darwin can
be illustrated by Darwin’s depend-
ence on The Principles, of Geology.
During his trip in 1831 Darwin
studied Cuvier religiously and
rwhen he returned published his
book on the things he had seen and
their applicability to Cuvier’s the-
ory. Darwin followed the discov-
ery of different fossils in different
layers. He proved that the per-
centage of extinction of animals
grew less as the strata) approached
our time. Hence there must be an
evolution from one type of animal
to the next.

The Darwinian theory gave new
life to. geologic theories, _Geolog-

fossil. Proofs of evolution could
be proved; where there were only
five or six fossil primates, now
there are hundreds. Thus geology
has been no momentous change but
has gradually evolved to a new and
efficient science.
