He spoke defending the value of free intellectual research, not only because of the eventual contribu- tion to knowledge which ‘it guarantees, but also-in-the name of spiritual free- dom and tolerance. Freedom and toler- “ance are the essence of civilization, and “a country like America... can only be enriched by the folly which drives the great thinkers, novelists, dramatists and poets out of. the Old World to make a fresh ‘start in the New.” Extracts froi Dr. Flexner’s speech follow: . We hear Jit said with tiresome iteration that this is a materialistic age and that its main concern should be the wider distribution of material goods and worldly opportunities. It is quite true. The untiring ingenuity of the inventor converts to*new ma- terial. purposes the disinterested in- vestigations carried on by the scien- tist in his laboratory. The justified outcry of those who through no fault of ‘their own are deprived of opportu- nity and a fair share of worldly goods is diverting an increasing number of _ students from the studies which their fathers pursued to the equally -im- portant and no Jess urgent study of social;. economic, and governmental problems. I have no quarrel with this tendency. The world in which we live is the only- world abeyt which our senses can testify. UnlessMt is made a better world, a fairer world, a juster world, millions will continue to go. to their graves saddened, silent, and em- bittered. I have myself spent “many years pleading that our schools should become more acutely aware of. the Continuea on Page- Five 7. E. Park Gives Baccalaureate Sermon Goal Aims at Balance Between Ideals and Circumstances Goodhart. Hall, May 30.—A quin- tet of strings with pianoforte directed by Mr. Willoughby opened the Bac- Fealaureate service with three selec- tions; a Pastorale of Handel, Bach’s Sinfénia and Mozart’s Ave Verum. Meanwhile the academic procession of seniors and faculty, headed by Junior Class marshals and later joined by the college choir, was moving fromthe Library through Rockefeller Arch to the main entrance of Goodhart Fall. Parents, alumnae and students watched-the procession _impressive in its caps, gowns and colored hoods, march down the main aisle to the front section of the auditorium. As speaker, Dr. John Edgar Park, President of Wheaton, took the text: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself. “We are born into an irra: tional position, in a whirlwind of traf- fic,”, he said, “and have to dodge im- mediately. It is hard to extricate the steps of idealism from the coil of circumstance.” To love God is easy in itself. It is also easy to love one’s neighbor, but: to join these two steps is almost. impossible... Thus . the art of common daily life becomes more important and requires more skill and finer technique than either an artist or a surgeon needs. We hesitate to become mixed up in the “formless broth of politics,’ but it is a “mistake to allow ourselves to be. reabsorbed into the mediaeval slough. . ..

Reader’s Interest _ Neglected for Problems of Composition Sidi Abundant But Expressed With Overelaborate Use Of Vocabulary ' In criticising the current issue of The Lantern,: we are writing from the reader’s point of view, and our reactions and criti¢isms are merely subjective. Since a magazine’s func- tion is to interest and amuse the intelligent reader, we feel that this kind of criticism has its value. It seems to us that The Lantérn demands | too much of the special sympathy for the probiems of composition which a teacher is willing to give, and does not attempt to mobilize the reader’s undirected interest. Ideas abound; but these are not supported sufficiently by illustration and incident. The ideas themselves are-subtle and interesting, but usually expressed with disproportionate so- phistication of vocabulary, and some- times inaccurately and ambiguously. In the interest of the reader, the styles should be more simplified as well as more polished. Miss Wright’s editorial is of im- mediate importance; its: fundamental idea is provocative; but it seems un- necessarily difficult, to follow. trouble is not with the obscurity of mi>the idea, “but with grammatical and stylistic faults. Her images and meta- phors are occasionally inconsistent, and she sometimes leaves out anec- __dotes or confuses a figure of speech | _by.a not quite accurate use of .in-} dividual words. : Miss Wheeler’s style has a trans- pareycy which is appealing. By her ae into, the scheme. ot Henry The James’ ase, and the perfect adapta- tion of her own writing to criticism of his particular form, she achieves practically perfect unity of ideas and expression... The. simplicity --of ap- proach which this implies is pleasing, because complete understanding’ of the author’s personality compensates for the almost complete subjection of the ¢ritic’s personality. Unadorneg ideas are absorbing enough to maintain progress of interest, Edith Rose’s poem shows sympathy, with the metaphysical method; but the last verse does not carry implica- tions of emotion sudden enough to give its imagery strength. Jean Lam- son’s poem is an example of intellec-. tual inspiration insufficiently vulgar- ized for the reader’s satisfaction. The idea in Night Piece could be emotionally compelling if it were built up more at the beginning and given more meaning in terms of plot—com- ing as it does, it seems rather anti- climactic because not completely real- ized.

The discussion .was unusually long and varied, on such subjects.as the value of general and spetial- honors with the degree and the possibility of hav- ing class and club accounts audited. The Council had spoken at the last meeting about the meaning of degrees cum laude and with distinction in a certain subject. Miss» Park pointed out that a cum laude has no specific significance other than the fact that the student’s work has been of-a cer- tain average excellence. In a college as small as Bryn Mawr, the B.A. de- gree by itself should signify at least as much. Miss Park showed the Council a summary of the records of all classes graduated since general honors were established, showing that the percent receiving cum laude or better, had gradually risen until in; 1985:"they represented’ 57 per cent of the class. Mrs. Manning explained that various factors cantribute to the enlarging of ‘this number. College work has become.increasinglyconcen- students ‘are not only better fitted to do good work, but are required to maintain a certain average. Therefore, inevitably the departments have to recognize this by giving higher ‘marks. There also are more students enter- ing college with good schoot prepara- tion. “Miss Park said that aceord- ing to the results of a _ faculty questionnaire, 33 approved of general .honors, 32 disapproved, and six were indifferent. Fifty-seven faculty mem- bers approved of the degree with dis- tinction in the major subject, nine dis- approved and ~five _ were indifferent. Most of the members of the Council felt that since students taking honors must have a certain high average in all courses, the degree with distinction has more specific meaning than any other kind: The new Comprehensivé system gives the departments the op- portunity to integrate major work even more, and honors work,in. differ- ent ‘Subjects can be more accurately estimated’ comparatively.

As the poem was only two stanzas long, the ordeal was _ brief, but none the less acutely embarrass- ing. Miss Lyle entered college at 16 on the New England Regional Scholar- ship, which she has held ever since in addition to the Sheelah Kilroy Scholarship and the Brook Hall Me- morial Scholarship. She has consid- ered majoring in many subjects, but technically her major has always been English. Her average is now 92.097 She was elected to the editorial board of The College News in her freshman year, to that of The! Lantern in her sophomore yea, and was also an ed- itor of the 1987: yearbook. Apart from Wavaty pursuits, headed the committee for the Summer School which she helped run last sum- mer. Miss Lyle feels that there is a great deal to be learned fygm its meth- ods of teaching and that the college would profit by a more direct contact with the organization. Rather than use their lecture-system, they encour- age the girls to talk themselves, thus relating their personal experience to ‘the courses which they are studying: As these’ are generally connected with economics, the system is more appli- cable to Summer School students than it would be to regular college stu- dents, but she thinks it is unfortunate that Bryn Mawr girls have practically no opportunity to learn by attempting to express théir own ideas. “As regards the two principal. issues concerning. this year’s senior class, Miss Lyle. only aEproves with reserva- tions, of last year’s May-day and the system of comprehensive examinations. While big’ May-day is a splendid-idea in itself; and while the actual event is fun, she feels that it has become too “big.” As she works slowly, the preparation consumed too much of her time. In the same way,ysshe considers the comprehensives excl in theory, but thinks that.the time element was not given enough consideration. | \ A comprehensive’ amounts to the same thing as a .unit course except that only two weeks in the middle of the yéar are devoted to it. This problem might be partially solved if students, particularly those majoring in English, began to prepare for com- prehensives during their junior or even sophomore years, and if seniors she they could review oot sophomore literature. : Course Changes” Students who are changing 4. their. courses must. notify the Dean’s Office before September .15.

Exception was taken to this precedent by the ninety-seveners who determined to celebrate their Fortieth ‘Anniversary by a luncheon held Monday in the Deanery, although they were not scheduled to meet.

Cykman’ Retains Handel’s Power in Prayer from ‘Te Deum’ The Deanery, most child prodigies whose mechanical capabilities usually outstrip, . their artistic understanding, Harry Cyk- man seems to know exactly what he wants to express with his violin, and on the whole, achieves his aims with technical success. In a _ well-known program of Purcell, Bach, Pugnani, Mendelssohn, Handel, Paganini and Saint-Saens, he seemed completely at his ease and a master of the musical situation. Particularly delightful was his interpretation of the Mendelssohn Concerto. in E minor, which started off rather weakly, gaining force and beauty after the cadenza. In this work he displayed real excellence of tone as well ral into the char- acter of the music. This was true also .of the Handel-Flesch Prayer from ‘Te Deum’ in which he managed to retain all the simple power of Handel at his best. Less fortunate, perhaps, was the Caprice 24 of Paga- nini, in which Cykman appeared too absorbed in technical intricacies—to achieve musical continuity and finish. The most striking adverse criticism to be made of Harry Cykman is inconsistency. He did not seem able to remain for any length of time at his own standard of excellence. This can; of course, be attributed to his youth, but judged in the light of the best professional playing, he was too erratic to be an excellent performer. In this recital, he was laboring under two difficulties—an accompanist who did not do him justice, and the fact that his program was so well known, and has been so well handled by others within the experience of the audience, that it was difficult to resist the, temp- tation of measuring him. with the great violinists of our time. On the whole, however, he met these diffi- culties successfully, and gave a _per- formance marked by poise, technical capability and artistic beauty. P. B.

Education MAJORS IN PHILOSOPHY Leigh Steinhardt, alternate for the European Fellowship this year, was the Charles S. Hinchman Memorial Scholar for 1986-37. She is. doing honors work in Philosophy and her average is 90.097. Next year she plans to start in on a three year drive for a Ph.D. at Radcliffe, skip- ping an M.A. degree, with teaching as a possible future. To begin with, Miss Steinhardt was born in New York in 1917, and.though admittedly a normal child, displayed abnormal tendencies:through the early part of her school career. She went to kindergarten at the. Dalton Pro- gressive School at the age of four, did two years’ work in one, skipped} the next year in no time at all, and entered the fourth grade at five. Three years passed, still in the con- fines of the fourth grade, while Miss Steinhardt struggled for the mastery of French, a tongue which was later to boost her to fame. It seemed to be a case of permanent fixation. When won a spelling bee, and was rewarded by a prize of three dollars.. It was graded, however, according to age, and being very young, it was her privilege. to spell prejudice “predu- dice” and still emerge victorious. A progressive school tended to make Miss Steinhardt “nasty and bratty,” and in 1926 she Was transferred to the Horace Mann School for Givts, where she was put back a year be- cause “she was a year ahead.” For a time she did nothing but mathema- tics. Then force of circumstances sent her to the Chateau Brillantmont in Lausanne for the ninth grade; as usual she--was the youngest in the school and was thereby made acutely uncomfortable.- But her experience in Switeerland won her an Alliance Francaise medal her senior year at Horace Mann, a “great, heavy, thing,” given for ex- cellence in French. She also shared highest scholastic honors with one other person, and was Editor-in-Chief of the school magazine. Miss Steinhardt came to college at 16 and is graduating at.20. She be- gan by majoring in English, but was converted to Philosophy by the first- year course her sophomoré year. She was on the committee of three: run- ing the Philosophy Club in 1935-36, was president of it this year, and has been on The Lantern for two years. thletically, she is not inclined; she as avoided as far as possible major and minor forms of sport. Perhaps this explains her part as an angel in The Creation in May Day. She did not disapprove so much of being an angel as of May Day in general. It is more work.than itis worth, she thinks, and should be worked out like the Gilbert and Sullivan performance to take a reasonable amount. of time. No one could be a better judge than she of the reasonable length of time demanded by Glee ~Club- productions; she was part prompter. in both The Pirates of Peuzayce and this year’s Mikado. Too Another bone of contention among seniors is Comprehensives. Miss Steinhardt sees no point in them; she thinks they ‘should be given directly4 after Easter, so as to give seniors time to do honors reports and get. their work. organized. “ DR. J.. SUTER. TALKS IN’ DEANERY GARDEN “et The Deanery Garden, May 16.— “Civilization is based on three uni- ties: one person, one humanity, and one God,” stated Dr. John W. ‘Suter at the annual outdoor chapel held in the Deanery garden by the Bryn Mawr League.

The speakers attacked their special de- partments. with thoroughly ° formed opinions, and. the class as a whole bid the faculty a doleful adieu. Miss Winifred Safford, the first ora- tor, spoke in Taylor and of it. She recalled her experiences there as a monitor, in which office she ‘heard a philosophical voice from beneath a desk talking of a vegetable soul, an- other voice from the “Black Hole of Calcutta” invoking beauty of line, a beard reminiscing scenes in the life of Lady Godiva; all these and more she heard daily: It is hard, she assures “us, to leave these dear accus- tomed things. Huddled against the, wall on the Dalton stairs, Anne Roberts let bit- terness prevail, noble bitterness born of suffering. Physics left her with an “Achilles-tortoise complex,”» and spots before the eyes. General de- bility was unavoidable when she found that her partners in the experiments thought up the answers faster than she could copy them down. It result- ed in a terrible yearning for anything not physics; -so, ‘she warns,- be sure what the Dean means when she says, “Physics?” Elizabeth Holzworth was more than bitter, she was vindictive. Let us quote from her vitriolic words: “I suppose the most fitting kind of Mrs. Wootten Favors Social Economy Major “Kept on the Run,” Found Visit “Passed Like a Flash” With the charm that has won her so many instantaneous friends, Mrs. Barbara Wootton, in an_ interview shortly before her departure, ex- pressed her regrets that she had not seen more of the campus, nor become better acquainted with the students. Yet “well informed” graduate students and “attractive” undergraduates “kept her on the run” and ~~ made her visit “pass like a flash.” Her opinion on the then pending social economy major was most en- lightening. Being a_socio-economist herself, she naturally favored the projects. “But,” she went on, “I am all for anything that puts reality into undergraduate economics. The two must be linked together. Social econ- omy courses are offered in the under- gratludte departments in England, ex- cellently suited for the students, and, moreover, are taken by a great num- ber of them.” Mrs. Wootton’s ‘new book, appearing in the fall, will be called Lament for Economies-and deals primarily with this problem of a closer correlation between economic _— and actualities. “And what was your impression of the ‘so-called Bryn Mawr sloppiness,” was the next question, getting back to the inconsequential. “So-called,” was the emphatic reply. She felt on the whole that the appearance of the girls was most attractive. The college atmosphere, she found, was similar to that in England, although possibly younger. College girls abroad are older whén they enter, and it is a well-established fact that the boys of college age abroad are generally more \mature and stable. The rah-rah spir- it is not found on their campusés. Her plans for future visits to Amer- ica are indefinite. But after.a week of “contemplation on a farm in Connecti- cut” she is returning to» England to plan her next trip to’ the United States. ?

When May Day came she was de- moted from folk dancing to sewing costumes in the cellar while others danced on the Green. Now as others file in to graduate she fears she will be “Running up the line in a bath- . ing suit, with a hockey stick in one hand and a tennis racquet in the other, making up three seasons at once.” “My friends,” the fourth speaker, Elizabeth Ann Stainton, began, “the Library is a dear, hallowed place, a place of sweet affinity.” She entered it just once her freshman year, after that “Cook’s” tour on which all fresh- men are taken, and therein wrote a poem, a lovély thing called Storm!!! Reading it in a_ bell-like voice, she gave the whole a new -signifi- cance (aided by interpolations by Mrs. King) : “There gleefully scratches a spark or two From lightening’s steel eneased side.” : (Note: You don’t say!) “The wise’ old man is hidden. now; He always knows where it is safe to . stay. But the gay young stars, still pranc- ing about, Have most of their brightness washed away.” (Note: I don’t blame them—this would wash away almost anything. It leaves me limp.) Miss Stainton’s’ relations with the Library “from that time on were slight.’ “It is,” she affirms, “a place you must take or leave alone, There is no middle way.” Under Pembroke Arch Lucy Kim- berly presented the emblems of the senior class to Blanca Noel, junior ’ president. The crown, which may serve as a- lampshade, and keeps the rain off on such occasions as Parade Night; the sceptre (alias spoon), “something of ourselves”; the sword to fight the good _fight- were handed over with a word of goodbye for their former owners. The cere- mony closed with the singing of class and college songs. Ground-Breaking Marks Start of New Building Science , Department Members Assist President Park a Sn) Sunday, May 31.—Considering her- self as the representative of past presidents, faculty, and alumnae, Miss Park broke the ground for the new Jscience building with a gilded shovel, and marked the. beginning of construc- tion work financed by the Fiftieth Anniversary’ Fund. She then intro-”' duced ten people prho were especially coriverned in the project and instru- mental in raising money for the Drive. _ Among these was Mr. Charles J. Rhoads, president of the Board of Di- rectors and active worker for the new science tude due to Miss- Park, the alumnae and the students, for aid in realizing the plans. Elizabeth Bent Clark, ’95, - who was president of the Alumnae Association in the two years that the drive was at its peak, and Ida Lauer Darrow, ’21, the present president, also turned their shovelfuls. As “the.father of the new building,” . - | Mr. David Tennent, head of the Biol- ogy Department, led the professorial diggers. He was followed” by Mr. James Crenshaw and Mr. Lincoln Dry- den who dug in the name of the Chem- istry and Geology Departments which will be housed in the new building. The fourth representative of the sci- ences was Mr. Walter Michels, of the Physies Department. F Be OF RAZ fh manned the shovel next on behalf of the under- jors backing her “to give strength to her arm.” Marian Hubbell, president of the Graduate Club, represented the graduate science students, and Mr. Sydney Martin dug his share of earth : as the official architect of the new building. 7 ‘ i sod lans, Who spoke of the grati-». ° L praduates,-with-the-senior-seience-ma--——— »* die F Page Four THE COLLEGE NEWS a eT . Louise Dickey Selected verbial “wild ass.” As Second Alternate Third Choice for Fellowship Has Average of 88.837 ~~ Louise Atherton Dickey, the second alternate European fellow, had a sin- gularly unacademic preparation for college. Up to her thirteenth year she enjoyed the freedom of the pro- In 1927 she went to school for the first time in Switzer- land. Before that she had’ learned how to read from her family while living on their farm in Oxford, Penn- sylvania; se also learned German from a German refigee. In 1931 at the Swiss school she failed five col- lege boards, but surmounted these diffi- culties after a year at the Misses Kirk School in Bryn Mawr. Miss Dickey has spent three sum- mers doing special work; at the Uni- versity of Lausanne in 1931, at the University of Heidelberg in 1935 and under Dr. Dinsmore at Columbia in 1936. In college her outside activi- ties included League work and mem- bership in’Glee Club for one year. She took Archaeology, her major subject, for the’ first time in her Sophomore year and kept up with her German by taking first year German literature which is “very important for archaeo- logical purposes.” In the dragon costume Miss Dickey found her personal experiences in May Day “agonizing,” which is not surpris- ing considering that her suit weighed 87% pounds without the head. As for May Day in general she feels that it is too valuable to the college to be ‘given up, but that it would be an injustice to the students to go on making it bigger and better. Compre- hensives she thinks are “a good idea” but that they have “worked out badly for this class,” Miss Dickey is re- - turning to Bryn Mawr next year to ~ continue in her chosen field, and her ‘greatest ambition is to go to Athens as a member of a dig. % PLAY BUREAU OFFERS LARGE CASH PRIZES The second play competition of the Bureau of New Plays for college stu- dents and recent graduates has been announced by its director, Theresa Helburn.

Mr. Tennent, who has headed the Department of Biology since 1904, will act also during the five-year period as director of the Bryn Mawr plan for the joint teaching of the sci- ences. His work is in the field of ex- perimental cytology and especially concerns Problems of cell division and cell growth. M. HOUCK MENTIONED IN VOGUE. CONTEST Among the twelve seniors who re- ceived honorable mention in the Vogue Prix de Paris contest was Margaret Houck, ’37. The magazine announces that through the efforts of its editorial staff, these twelve “will be put inj touch with various department stores, advertising agencies and others who have shown great interest in the con- test. ..Last year twenty-eight young women competing for the Prix de Paris found employment through Vogue’s recommendation.” “Vogue’s Prix de Paris was first announced in October, 1935, as an en- couragement to college women who wished to make careers in the field of women’s fashions. ‘The contest—six quizzes and a final thesis—serves as a preliminary course in fashion train- ing and.the winners are chosen on the basis of their records in the course. Edna Woolman Chase and Condé Nast, publisher, and members of the Vogue editorial staff are the judges.” This year there were entrants from 216 colleges all over the United States. The winner, a student at the Uni-|' versity of Wisconsin, is Miss Virginia Van Brunt. She will receive one year’s employment in the, New York and Paris offices of Vogue. Second prize, -six months’ employment in Vogue’s New York offices, was awarded ‘to Miss Alice Schultz of Last year the second prize went to Josephine Heiskell, ’36. Are You Going West - This Summer?

Margaret Houck, ’37, Mary Hinckley Hutchings, 37, and Grace Dolowitz, 739, then each gave an original speech on the given subject, the new French rooms in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. After considerable delay, the judges returned and M. d’Arciet expressed their_opinions. in an extremely witty speech. Taking due consideration of the scholarly form of Miss Houck’s treatment, the charm of Miss Dolo- witz’ personal approach and _ the purity of her French, they had finally decided to award the medal to Miss Hutchings, both on account of the value of her subject matter and the ease of her presentation.

SQUASH COURT FUND BEGUN BY FATHERS The ‘squash courts, long a part of the expansion. program of the college, have at last become a potential real- ity. A fund for their construction was started recently when a letter signed by Mrs. Collins, Miss Petts and Mildred Bakewell, President of the Athletic Association, went to the father of every “undergraduate.- The letter gave each parent an opportun- ity to contribute something, however little, to the permanent equipment of the college. When the courts are built a plaque will be attached nam- ing the donors as the fathers of those undergraduates who were in college in the year 1937. . The plan for raising the money for the courts was devised by Mrs. Col- lins, who received her inspiration from a similar plan used at Princeton while her son was an undergraduate there. At that time a Mother’s -Fund. was raised to use for improving the equip- ment of the health department of the college. HOCKEY.
