Two monologues by Cornelia Otis Skinner and an original play by Caroline Garnet, 40, provided the evening’s enter- tainment. : Fifi Garbat, ’41, President of the Players’ Club, devoted her open- ing speech to the meaning of the Workshop as an impetus to Bryn we have a place in which plays can be presented and created in an _informal atmosphere. Marion Gill, ’4A0, as President of the Art Club spoke on the great advantage which the workshop affords the club. Mr. Otis Skinner spoke of his wife’s activities in Bryn Mawr dramatics and her dreams for a Theatre Workshop. The workshop, he said. is a realization” of Mrs. Skinner’s sighted hopes. She had often thought of the~-long narrow barn as a potential theatre, a place where theatre production - could be carried ‘on creatively. The prejudice which condemned all actors as “rogues and vaga- bonds” still infected Bryn Mawr in But with Mrs. Skinner’s encouragement and sym- pathy, dramatics became more a part of campus activity. “The final barriers to the theatre were brok- en,” said Mr. Skinner, “when I found myself in a box in the Broad Street Theatre, next to M. Cary Thomas.” Plays today, Mr. Skinner said, reproduce life as it exists, rather Continued on Page Five May 5 Opening Dedicated to Subscribers Theatre Workshop, May 5.—A special opening of the Mrs. Otis Skinner Theatre Workshop for outside subscribers and friends of the Skinners was held on Sunday. President Park presided as chair- man of the Joint Committee of Bryn Mawr College and the Bald- win School.. Mr, Otis Skinner and Miss Johnson “of Baldwin also spoke. Miss Park traced the history of the Theatre Workshop. The idea of a theatre. workshop as a me- morial to Mrs. Skinner seemed pertinent because of Mrs. Skinner’s work in Bryn Mawr dramatics and May Day, and because of the un- dergraduate’s requests for such a workshop. Mrs. Skinner directedyMay Day in 1920 and developed the most spectacular performance Bryn Mawr had ever attempted.

Dr. Herbert Heaton, Pro- fessor of History at the University of Minnesota, in his Webster lec- ture on Clio in Overhalls, set forth the importance of the use of satis- tics in economic historical research, showing its value as a corrective for accepted interpretations of economic facts. Clio,-the muse of history, turned economic when she assumes a work- ing garb, has seen two generations of economic historians. In both England and America the end of this second generation is at hand. Professor J. H. Clapham retires this year from Cambridge, having just completed his definitive, three- volume British Modern Economic History,-and leaves the field to a younger man. Harvard has the third ‘generation, Usher and his young colleagues, already at work. The first generation, represented by Ashley, Cunningham and Roz- ers, which took over after the three formative forces of politics, ped- antry and prophecy had brought some. order to the world of econom- ic thought, concentrated upon the study of local-institutions, such as the manor, the town, and the gild. Fact was subordinated to fancy in interpreting their functions, and a rigid framework of conceptions was erected.

The production was marked above «all, by its combination of amateur en- thusiasm with an unusual and con- spicuous professional ease. Tolanthe presents many more dif- ficulties of production than do its predecessors: It is slower-paced, less rollicking and far more depen- dent upon technical subtleties and careful handling of production. The Glee Club took advantage of these difficulties to bring forth an integ- rated and finished performance. The choruses, which ultimately decide the fate of any Gilbert and Sullivan production, showed the fruits of able vocal direction. The Fairies’ chorus, free of all possible self-consciousness, tripped about with spirit and ease and provided pretty ‘contrast to: the pompous magnificence of the Peers. Splendid of costume and deep of voice, the Peers were at their best during their march.

Ailing stu- dents will no longer be housed in the homey atmosphere of the In- firmary’s old kitchen, but in the ten’ new bedrooms—that are to be added. The college architect, Mr. Sidney Martin, has drawn up the plans, and work may possibly be started at the end of May. A _ waiting room, three cubicles for special pur- poses, and a separate room for ul- tra violet ray treatments are planned. ° The doctors and nurses are to have new offices, as well as a new, much larger, laboratory. Plans include an isolation unit, and increased accommodations for the college employees. In all, there will be twenty-three beds, some- thing for which the present Junior class may be grateful when they see the lists of comprehensive read- ing for the first time.” | Improvements, Changes, Urged In College Rules 11:30 Permission for Eating In Village Unescorted Is Proposed “At a meeting of the legislature, four resolutions were formulated fon presentation to the college. The first two concern amendments to the student government regula- tions. Students are henceforth to be given permission to eat in the village until 11.380, either escorted or unescorted. Because of the dangers of falls and collisions, they may not ride bicycles off campus after dark. The third resolution, proposed by the urges that the college join the Na- tional Student Federation Associa- tion for next year. The Associa- tion, which is a clearing house for information, has a membership of 150 colleges and charges $12:50 a year. Next year it will hold its annual meeting in the East. The final resolution has to-do | with the Entertainment Committee, and suggests that the planning of lectures, entertainments, and other extra-curricular events during the college year be entrusted to a com- ; mittee of three, vested with full powers, but subject always to the jauthority of the President of the | College. This committee would be composed of the Chairman the Undergraduate Entertainment Committee, a member of the Fac- ulty Committee on Lectures, and a member of the Deanery Entertain- ment Committee. After these reso- lutions have been voted on by the college, they will be passed on to the trustees.

The time has rolled around once more when we must decide the eternal question of Big May Day, removed by one more college generation from all contact or direct knowledge of that vast and undeniably glamorous undertaking. There has in the past been overemphasis on the expense, overwork and sleeplessness produced by Big May Day.

I expected something different — influenced perhaps by what is being written and said in Europe: “we must find a way to solve world problems without destruction—war is not a solution. but. an .aggravation of those problems, etc.” However, I read, “We hold that little good can be done by us in Europe until truce is declared”’—and at the end of the article, “Our sympathies do not_warrant war to save England’s ; with the second state- ment I feel safe;—as I turn over in my mind the history of Empire- and of the alliance of Empires, I find it very unlikely that any American will find himself fighting only “to savé England’s- Empirg” (whatever the word save may mean). As for “doing good in Europe” after a truce, it may be as well to put it off till then; Eu- rope “itself will probably be too busy to reciprocate and do all the good it can-to America.” It might be as well to examine this idea of “doing good”; I am afraid it will have to be given up and is as naive as the one that we fight for some- one else’s empire; we may go the length of hoping thet“our govern- ments may find, after a truce, the good of the nation they represent, within the limits: of the common good of the nations of the world in which I suppose the state may be included; but-if America fights, she will—there is no doubt of that —be fighting for herself; and if she helps with the peace it will be for America’s sake; that all the nations conegrned should know that world peace is their salvation in- NEWS: Next Time We Love, with Margaret Sullavan and.

But the statement, “We _ hold that littlé good can be done by us‘ in Europe, ete.,” is interesting coupled with: the following one: “Neither. side (when the ‘war is over) will wish to maintain the ideals. of self-determination by a free people.” The picture: is luck- ily naive and well meant—; other- wise I am afraid that nothing short of aggressive complacency and stark insolence would describe it. I presume that the expression “self-determination by a free peo- ple” has a clear and definite mean- ing as applied to the nations. of the world today, in the writer’s mind. I may add that as a proph- ecy it is somewhat simple—as an opinion acceptable as all opinions must be—as a statement of fact senseless! . America. against the presumed wishes of the nations of Europe will, I take it, maintain their “self-determination.” And I turn over in my mind the familiar sequence “to do good in Europe,” “self-determination of a free people,” ‘Versailles’”—some- ‘thing is missing: The League of Nations—and its subsequent his- tory; a democratic and strong con- ception born of the last war; its defeat a world defeat—not merely “European.” Let me now take over the fol- lowing statements reading the “we” as “we’—France and Eng- land, not the States. “To defend another-democracy when we are not attacked is a very different question; it would mean the crea- tion of one more totalitarian State and no further advancement of peace” — Austria — Spain, Czecho- slovakia—Poland, Denmark, Nor- way—Did I read “To defend”? In the facts of the last years I also read “Not to defend—.” Was that put forward as a fact? an opinion? In any case, something is wrong in the argument; the conclusion holds with diametrically opposite premises. I firmly believe in peace as a force, not only as.a passive desir- able state; what I wish to say is that there are ways of talking of peace that smack of complacency and self-righteousness and prepare war. “The spirit of democracy is doomed in war” is a fine sentence, an easy slogan, and very near to being utter nonsense; it is a super- ficial, unthinking, frivolous. com- ment in the face of the bitter struggle and suffering now involv- ing millions of your and my fel- lowmen, who in Norway, for ex- ample, die for what is to them “the spirit of —democracy” and whose responsibility in this war is no greater and no smaller than our own; it is utter nonsense in the face of facts in past history. War I hope will not touch Amer- ica; but if it does and succeeds in killing what you call “the spirit of democracy,” then that spirit is Lvery near being dead already. _ ‘GERMAINE Bree, is = : Correction Last week the love we _ bear our tennis team blinded us. to the truth.

Every- one seemed to be enjoying himself or herself. The stagline which was spread thickly across the center of the floor -was enlivened by several erstwhile fairies and peers. The orchestra seemed highly satisfac- tory while it was playing, but there was a slight. eonflict of opinion. People kept demanding waltzes and it was quite obvious that the or- chestra fancied itself as being on the hot rather than on the Vien- nese side. There was a surprising absence of male crashers. Some- one was wandering around with a small dreamy boy in tow saying, “Does anybody want a date?” but there were no takers and so he dis- appeared back into the whence he came. _— Fresh Dramatic Criticism Needed for Plays fo the Editor of the College News: In the past three or four years college dramatics have been trying to get a new lease on life and there should be an arrangement whereby they might be assured good and ac- curate criticisms in the News. This point has beer labored so often be- fore that it is hardly necessary to reiterate that everything produced the light of its particular purpose before it can be fairly. criticized. The criticism of Bartholomew Fair which calls forth this particular moment of moaning seems to me to have been singularly inadequate for the very reason that the pur- pose in its production were totally ignored. When it began it was meant to be something that would compen- sate a little for the loss of Big May Day; that.is, it was to involve people who like to be in plays once in a while but don’t want to make dramatics a particular job in col- lege; it was to include dancers and music and best of all it was to be given_outdoors. As it-grew older, the important point about it was cooperation of the group and the enthusiasm of a few individuals who inspired that cooperation against what seemed to be almost overwhelming odds— “The People yes — they organized!” ‘Therefore it seems to me that the first point which should be emphasized is the somewhat ethical one of the suc- cess of the play as a Group Project. There were certain specific rea- sons of course why the Group was able to succeed. Vivi French re- fused to let a thing once begun go unfinished and Emily- Cheney took the play in hand and cut it down to a skeleton which was possible to‘comprehend in the time given— (and it didn’t rain.) When Miss Cheney and Migs French had given material evidence, that the play might be possible, individuals in the group began to work on making it pleasurable as well! The result: A prologue by Miss Tucker and Miss Kirk, lemonade by Rhoads Hall and finally the results of able by as well as some really delight- actors, Miss’ Kirk, Miss Garnett and Miss French were particularly de- lightful but criticism of acting is so much a matter of personal taste that I hesitate to include my opin- ion. .in..a letter pointing out »the deficiencies. in. the~ News article, However, the phrase “her acting was positively. colossal” must I think be particularly unsatisfying to Miss Follansbee as an estimate of her interpretation of Ursula.

The Faculty batsmen flailed the offerings of MacIntosh and, Matthai to lay down a barrage of 15 assorted hits. By taking advantage of Faculty errors and several of the 14 free tickets to first, the Varsity scored three runs before they got their first hit. The Varsity got off to a flying start in the first frame, when Waples, leading off, was walked. by Cope and sent home on three quick errors by Not-so-Chunk, Bruiser Broughton, and Eddie Watson. But the game tightened up somewhat after that, with both sides pecking away at each other to make the score 6-5 in favour of the Faculty going into the eighth. In this frame the Faculty initi- ated a blitzkrieg to put the game on ice. With one out, Not-so-Chunk dropped a single into short right field. Anderson was hit by a pitch- ed ball, and after Watson hit a pop foul to Waples, Violet Ray Zirkle walked another pitched ball—it looked intentional—to load _ the bases. Then Bruiser Broughton, striding to the plate in the clutch, drove in two runs with a hot single salvoed into left. Chesty Miller’s hit sent Zirkle home with the third tally, and Broughton scampered across the plate when MacIntosh muffed..Dazzler.Dryden’s-roller..to the mound, to make the score 10- 5 for the Faculty: The Varsity could manage to pick up only one ryp in their half of the inning, and the Faculty came right back in the last stanza with four more runs when_ Violet Ray Zirkle thundered out a triple to drive in three runs, and came in himself a minute later on a wild pitch with the last score of the ball game. é .—Curveball Best defensive plays of the game: A_ beautiful off-balance, over-the-shoulder running catch by Squibb in the third inning to rob Dryden of a home run.

Based on the three meets held this winter within the college, . four cups were given, three to individu- als and one inter-class. Those who competed in the first two. meets, which .excluded_ the Varsity, were eligible for the non- varsity swimming cup and the non- varsity diving cup. Swimmers get- ting first or second place in these meets, and those: on the squad could go in the third meet, com- peting for the Varsity cup. The sophomores snatched: the inter-class cup from the freshmen, who were ahead in the first meet, only to fall in the second and third. For the Varsity swimming cup 63 points were the greatest ‘pos- sible number, and Bobby _Link,.’40, won the cup with exactly that num- ber. Because of her astounding record since she has been at Bryn Mawr, the team—also-gave her—a special present never before given.

Moreover, in a cast of 30 people it is hard to pick out specific peo- ple “and say “she was this and she was that’’ and not recognize that somebody else was quite as equally something else. A sort of auto- matic scale of requirements for acting in a specific play should be established and then an estimation, made of how far the individuals fulfill these requirements. For ex- -ample, I would choose three points to consider for the actors in Bar- tholomew Fair: (a) characteriza- tion, (b) could*she be heard, (c) did she act with the whole group. Miss Kirk, Miss Garnett and Miss French seem! to me to have fulfilled these best of all while- the rest of the cast was uneven, often excell- }ing in one of the. three points to the detriment of the others. There was. further evidence of carelessness in the statement “the added attraction of .a musical ac- compainment for the dancing.” Music and dancing struggle for existence on the campus and- when they have“a chance to be seen it seems to me that they should be given’ more than the vague con- sideration vouchsafed above. The Modern Dance Group under their director did the Pavonne and Miss Grant directed the Folk dancers. Miss. Rice has. done-a great. deal to stimulate and organize student mu- sicales and was generous in con- tributing her time to this produc- tion. It was significant that music, dance and dramatic groups were all working together and the point 2\}ought' to have been emphasized. Of course it is impossible to mention everything, but it is hot impossible to include several points which were important and choose the most important of those ‘for the-emphasis of the article. I am also aware that this. particular article had to be written in a mo- strife and complication but there were certain important generalities about the play which were as obvious in the dress. re- hearsal as in the final production, -and if the reviewer could have had a few confirmed imprefions from seeing the performance perhaps twice, her review would have prof- ited, I am using this particular in- stance of bad dramatic criticism in the News simply as an illustration of a case which seems to me to be all too generally true.

Each year ‘this committee studies certain immedi- ate college problems, suggested by the undergraduates or the admin- istration, and reports on its inves- tigations to the college. At the meeting of the committee held two weeks ago, no decision was reached on tlie question of a music major, but the committee plans .o continue its work on the problem during the coming year. E.

And may the organizations who give plays be allowed to give the critic some idea of what they want the play to do (entertain, inform, impress,;—ete.) so that she can have some basis on which to begin what she has to say! ; Sincerely yours, ‘PUELLA AMORE THEATRI.

Page Four THE COLLEGE NEWS cs Bustling Hard Working Bryn Mawr Gained Combine Book and Pansy Sales With Shows By ili Bogatko, *41 - The Bryn Mawr Alumnae in the past yedr raised 14,010 dollars for 46 Regional Scholars. In Eastern Pennsylvania most of the money was collected through the sale of pansies, forget-me-nots, and del- phinium. Every spring in different parts gf Philadelphia, baskets and baskets of these spring flowers are’ sold not only to passers-by, but by order, to a long list. of subscribers. Pansies have proved to be so in de- mand that their sale has spread to Cleveland and St. Louis. Another method of raising money which is used in Montclair and with even greater success in Princeton, is the sale- of second- hand books. This business is one of pure profit and every year hun- dreds of dollars are made by. book sales. Most of the books:are fairly worthless, but every once in a while a first edition turns up. It is interesting to note that the worse a_ book is the more money_it makes. The truly horrible volumes are turned back year after year, until they crumble into the dust. In Washington and Chicago, ben- efit performances are given every year. In Chicago this year, a bene- fit lecture was given by Eve Curie. In Boston, Dr. Blodgett spoke on invisible glass with. tremendous success. Money is made thugh dances, bridge parties, cake and candy sales, and white elephant auctions. In St. Louis, one year Margaret Hines McKenzie exhibited her col- lection of 500 dolls of all nations. Besides. the exhibition itself, there was a talk for children on. cos- tumes as related to the customs of different countries..In California, there was a “save your pennies for Bryn, Mawr” plan. Although all the money raised in California was not done in this way, the pennies formed a considerable bulk. The Alumnae Regional Scholar- ships committees cover seven main geographical divisions and _ their sub-divisions. The committee picks their own scholars. and takes a warm, motherly —interest—in-—their progress. The first Alumnae scholars were sent to Bryn Mawr in 1922.

The subject of the essay con- cerns the organization of the world after a future war. With Louise Morley as its guiding spirit, a group comprising those students who went to the Model League and belong to the International Rela- tions Club has based its essay plan on three main problems. A com- promise of the League’s adoptions, it proposes a peaceful change, re- gionalism as far as it is feasible, and an international legal organi- zation—according to the Bruce Committee’s proposals.. The group must base its theories on the as- sumption that it cannot be sure which side will win and that a treaty will not be the.thing which will build peace. In this case, the group defines peace as Utopian, not.as a respite between wars or as__a_settlement— which will sow seeds for another war.

Aside from these shortcomings, there was an ex- tremely well-maintained balance between chorus and principals, ap- parent both in singing and in acting. Terry Ferrer, ’40, innit, as the Lord Chancellor, a thorough and excellent mastery of the D’Oyley Carte mannerisms and added much to the professional finish of the production. Her light and distinct rendition of the incredibly difficult “Nightmare Song,’”’ was one of the evening’s high—spots: The part of Phyllis was beauti- fully sung by Louise Allen, 742, who placed equal emphasis upon the vocal and ‘dramatic implica- tions of her role. Keynotes of the production were Miss Atlen’s self- assurance and evenness of per- formance. Virginia Sherwood, ’41, was an excellent Earl Tolloller, refusing to smile at any provocation and adorning her part with the neces- sary nonchalance and poise. Mary Newberry, ’ 40, as the Earl of Mountararat, did not give quite as distinct a characterization, but the solos of both “bluebloods’” were smoothly handled. ‘The Fairy Queen, although ably sung by Margot Dethier, ’42, did not do full justice to the comedy of the role. Iolanthe was charmingly played by Ann Updegraff, ’42, whose voice possessed an unusual and lovely quality. Carla Adelt, ’43, as Strephon, handled a difficult singing part with ease, although her acting was unsure. Two portrayals redolent with Gilbert and Sullivan spirit were those of Ann Denny, '48, as the Lord Chancellor’s nimble _ train- bearer and Eleanor Emery, ’40, as the capering guardsman. Miss Emery’s solo at the. beginning of the second act and her sturdy foot- work during the trio were su- premely satisfactory. The climax of the evening was the second act trio by the Lord Chancellor and the two Earls, who sang and_ skipped their way through four encores.

Heaton Stresses Value Of Historical Statistics Continued from Page One Despite its shortcomings, the first generation left the second a good- ly heritage. But the new historians faced their subject quite differ- ently,— with a skepticism, and with new material offered by new and more numerous sources and with the skill of three new tools: geog- raphy, technology and statistics. Geography. proved the fallacy of many, too-general beliefs, showing, for instance, the impossibility of holding that the open-field system was géheral in England—the “typ- ical village” could not exist, econ- sistently, in swamps and on moun- tains. Technology, the knowledge of methods of industry, can enlarge and clarify economic - conceptions immensely, as.the research: of Nef of Chicago, on England’s 16th cen- tury coal industry, shows. The science of statistics is, how- ever, the most important of the modern economic historian’s new tools. Statistics are the chief char- acteristic of our age—we think, speak and act statistically. The quantitative, the definitive, are now to be desired. Thus the old statements of cause and effect will be questioned. for four years, and realizes the difficulties of carrying on without some organization and guidance.

The refutation, by Gay, T. W. Page and others, of the belief in the. prevelancy of enclosures in 16th century England, is an ex- ample of the power of statistical study. Lyber’s revolutionary dis- covery that the Portuguese and Spanish explorations of the New World caused the Turkish domi- nation of the Levant, rather than being the result of this domination, is another example of the statis- ical tendency, which continues vig- orously in this country. In England, the great piece of work was Clapham’s—in dispelling that tear-jerking, stereopticon view of Victorian, 19th century condi- tions, which the early economists had handed down. To verify or disprove this view, Clapham gath- ered a mass of all available statis- tics. His work challenges the older generalisations on point § after point. He discovered, not decline, but wage-improvement, 1794-1824, for laborers. He showed that. the conclusions previously drawn from the cotton industry, for that peri- od, are not representative and are of only~minor- importance.
