Presents Lecture By Dorothy Walsh Dr. Walsh, Smith Professor, Will Discuss: “Literature * And Truth” Dr. Dorothy Walsh, professor of philosophy -at:-Smith assistant College, will speak on Literature and Truth in the Music Room, Goodhart, 8:30. This lecture is made possible through the Theodore and Grace deLaguna lectureship in philosophy established last year upon the re- tirement of Mrs. deLaguna by friends, colleagues and students. ‘Dr. Walsh received her A. B. de- gree from the University of British Columbia in 1923 and her M. A. from the University of Toronto in 1924. .She was fellow in philoso- phy at Bryn Mawr from 1925-1926 and received her Ph. D. here. She studied under Mrs. deLaguna while She has written on aesthetics, ethics, met- Thursday evening at she was at Bryn Mawr. aphysics, language and poetry, and is remembered here as a very vivid and effective teacher. The Theodore and Grace deLa- guna lectureship in philosophy is designed to permit one or two speakers to be selected each year by the philosophy, department. Dr. Walsh is the first speaker\in this lectureship. Bryn'Mawr to Give | Party for Wounded Men at Valley Forge Through the Red: Cross, Bryn - Mawr has been granted the privi- lege of giving a quiet party on Saturday, March 3 for the wound- ed soldiers at. Valley Forge Gen- eral Hospital. Seventy girls have been asked to volunteer. The party is sponsored by the Bryn Mawr Red Cross unit; and is supervised by Patricia Acheson ’46 and Nancy Niles ’47, Transportation will ‘be provided by the Red Cross Motor Corps, and the volunteers must be ready to leave Pembroke Arch at 5: 30. Each car will be numbered and each girl willbe allotted to a car. Following |— the party, the girl must return to college in the same car. Since the girls are guests of the hospital and of the army, they must abide by their rules. The most important of these is that they must not leave the recreation hall. Otherwise, they are expected to entertain th -wounded with cards and cheerful talk. A col- lege octet will provide entertain- ment and the Red Cross will serve ‘refreshments. Each girl. will be asked to pay .$1.50 to cover the * ‘eost of refre8hments and ten lucky number prizes will be awarded. A list will- ‘be posted in Taylor for those interested to sign up. If. more than 70 volunteer those who have done the least war work will be eliminated. Those who sign up must be certain of attending. This is not a party for our pleasure but for. theirs, and no one must go. who is not prepared to accept her responsibility. se April Oursler, Designated as ‘Fallen We oman Brings Philosophic Approach to Editorship eq By Alison Merrill °45 April recently-elected editor, of the College News, de- scribes herself as a fallen woman. She has been falling, she says, ever since she was a little girl. Elected on the anniversary of having’ fall- en and broken her toe, she reacts to her greatest fall with the thought: “I’m going to have to be neat and systematic.” She will, further, have to heed the words of QOursler, her father on the occasion of her: falls: ate.” To the editorship, April brings ample experience, only exceeded by the size of her feet. Joining the News in the middle of her Fresh- man year, and proceeding to the Editorial Board in her Sophomore year, she lays claim also to a sum- mer’s experience on’ the Swarth- more Phoenix .as a sub-cub-report- er in her days of acceleration, .She has since decelerated and insists that she has coined the word. Working last summer as a copy girl and assistant Letters to the Editor editor on the Herald Trib- une, she brought back an amazing journalistic facility. as well as the idea for Incidentally. Finally, she has served two years as campus correspondent for.the Herald Trib- une and two years as Merion’s fire captain, which will fit a girl for any job. A philosophy, major, April has the claim to fame of being perhaps the first philosophy major to edit the News. The effect of this on our yellow sheet we hesitate to proph- esy, but Mr. Nahm’s only reply is, “IT hope it doesn’t make you any less a philosopher.” Actually, Ajpril’s status as a philosophy major is __ distinctly shaky, since she entered college as a chemistry major, and quickly “Coordinate, April, coordin- \ French Club to Have — Movie, Gourou Lecture The French Club will present the film _A-Nous la Liberte in the Mu- sic Room of Goodhart on Friday, February 9 at 8 P.

With mid-years she be- came an English major and stead- fastly; remained one until last year’s Shakespeare paper. “So far,” April comments, “I’m safe in phil- osophy.” She complains, however, that Mr. Nahm thinks she is ‘a Sophomore and Mr. Weiss forgets that she is a philosophy major, for which we could hardly blame him. Experiencing distinct feeling of fright,~the new editor plans to continue in the News such editor- ials as that’ on .dramatic activities in an effort to campaign for mére life on the campus and for.more constructive activity. She prom- ises to fight on for rescheduling and to inject more humor into the weekly journalistic effort, mean- while injecting vitamins into her- self to ward off constantly recur- ring ailments. © Undergrad Elections — ‘For 45-46 Officers lo Start Next Week The election of officers for the chief undergraduate positions for the year 1945-46 will start next week to continue until spring vaca- tion. The following procedure for the voting has been planned: After nominations a description of the duties of the offices will appear in the News, along with pictures of the candidates and brief write-ups of their college ac- tivities. Students should attempt to know the candidates before vot- ing takes place. The following week elections will take: place-in the halls directly after lunch. Vot- ang will be by ballot, and all un- dergraduates will be required to sign their, names as they cast their votes. ‘Non- resident students are urged to be at the college for lunch on days when elections occur. _If any candidate receives 15 other votes cast, she is elected. If no candidate, gets this plurality, revoting will be held the next day between the two or three highest candidates.

Speaking in a special assembly on the open- ing day of the second semester, Miss McBride pointed to this sem- ester as a time for a new recogni- ent during war. She spoke also of changes in faculty membership, of extra-curricular activities, and of the academic picture of the first semester. Obligations Referring to study now as both a hardship and a privilege, Miss McBride asserted that ‘it is essen- tial work which must be carried on and which can be carried on only by those who are able.” The coun- try will be short, Miss McBride said, in all fields of knowledge as a result of the war, and our edu- cation will help men see the im- portance of returning to college Further, we will have a background for an under- standing of problems after‘ the war and the possibility for action. Changes To the faculty, the second sem- ester brings back Mr.: Watson of the Geology Department after six months in Montana and Miss Kraus to the Department of Sociology after work with UNRRA. Mr. Carpenter will leave. during the second semester to give a series of lectures at the University of Cal- ifornia. ‘His, place will be taken by Mr. Post of Haverford. Activities The past semester, Miss McBride announced, had fewer academic casualties than last year, partly due to the new plan for attend- ance at classes. A survey of extra- curricular activities indicates few of us working at the top of our abilities. The situation now calls for help from those who ane: so far held iback. On ‘Way of St. James’ The well-known literary histor- ian, Dr. Henry Thomas, Keeper of Printed Books at the British Mu- seum, will speak under the aus- pices. of the Spanish Club in the Common Room on Saturday after- noon, February 10 at 4:15. This talk, called the Way of St. James, will be illustrated with slides and based in part on the book of that name written by Geor- gianna Goddard King, former. head of the Bryn Mawr Art Depart- ment. This subject concerns the pilgrimage of St. James from France to Spain. Dr. Thomas; an/yexpert on six- teenth century Spanish printing; is the author of Spanish: Romances. of Chivalry and of the Short Cata- logue of Sixteenth Century Span- ish Books. His lecture Saturday will be given in English and is open to everyone. Tea will be served in the Common Room at 3:46. ‘es _Engagements Roberta Arrowsmith ’47 to Louis V.

Although the program ranged in period from 1400 to 1945, both the joint renditions and the separate college selections were performed with an almost perfect tonal blend. The musical rapport evident dur- ing the whole évening was notable ~ particularly in view of the fact that the colleges had ‘had less than two hours of rehearsal before the _ concert. The performan¢ée ot. Irving Fine’s clever choral patterns from The New Yorker, probably the most striking part of the program, is an indication of the alertness of choral direction, but above all of the live spirit. which ‘characterizes both choirs. , Bryn Mawr’s performance of the two modern Ave Maria’s was nota- ble for its full round tone’ and ex- quisite expressiveness. The Dufay chanson and the Welkes madrigal deserve special mention as exam- ples of: smooth blend and acute sense of tempo. Harvard’s group of madrigals were presented with colloquial charm. The diction of the Bac- chanale and the. Patience choruses was unusually clear and the imagi- native interpretation of the Sulli- can selections was striking in con-. trast to the “usual hackneyed _per- formances of such music. Powerful intensity and brilliance in--the dramatie cut-offs charac- terized the rendition of Handel’s Tear from .Hopeless Love. A truly expressive delivery _ of the magnificent Thompson Alle- luia closed the concert on the per- fect note. Forsdyke Will Speak On British Museum 7™ Sir, John Forsdyke, ‘one of the foremost archaeologists of Britain and Director and Principal Librar- ian of the British Museum since 1939, will speak Saturday evening at 8:00 in the Music Room on The British Museum in War.

Act of Congress August 24, 1912 , Nurses’ Aide The recent faculty decision to give credit allowances to students for Nurses’ Aide is a sign that Bryn Mawr ha’ final- ly declared war. | signed up for Nurses’ Aide will realize that it brings an add- ed responsibility to them in keeping up in the other types: of war work. ‘The sacrifice of a half unit of academic credit in response to the present nurse shortage is an, unprecedented step in Bryn Mawr’s history. It shows that the ivory tower accu- sations”: are groundless, and while regrettable in some re- spects, is a fine gesture in time of crisis. The response to the appeal for Nurses’ Aides has been in keeping’ with the spirit prompting it. ” The fact that Nurses’ Aide has been given a special sta- tus, however, must not blind the remaining five-sixths of the student body. We have not been working’ to capacity on oth- er vital war-work, particularly bandage-rolling. Bandage- rolling is just as important as Nurses’ Aide, and should be viewed in the same serious light /that has led the faculty to make the present radical change. Those of us who cannot give ten hours a week should feel obligated to do as much as possible. er Parting Words . Any attempt to define the function of the College News is of necessity difficult, nor can its retiring editors speak with the voice of authority on the subject. We can only state the aims which we have tried to achieve through the year; we can only pass on to those who follow a tradition. As we have visualized it, our function has been to re- port news of interest to’the campus, to reflect undergraduate opinion in so far as we are able, and to serve as a medium of expression for student opinion. Beyond this, we have at- ~ tempted to’ maintain interest outside the college chiefly through editorials on national and international matters, through news‘ef other colleges, and through reviews of books and plays. a8 ‘ _.* The interest of the College News is largely conditioned by the activity of the campus itself. In 1944-45, taking up our ‘editorial duties with no preconceived crusades in mind but supporting various issues as they arose, We campaigned for the maintenance of the Self-Government constitution, in- Sisted on some’ attention to the problem of rescheduling, pledged our full support to the UVAP program, attempted to reflect the conflict over the national election, and gave-at- tention to new groups and clubs, both political and literary. / We were fortunate_in having a-year in which the campus participated more fully than ever before, and we both proph-, esy and hope for greater activity;-of fuller participation in the war effort. To the College News, notably free as it is /from any control or censorship and yet with that freedom possessing, a greater obligation, may it be a,year of achieve- ment. - ae : It is hoped that students who have not, THE COLLEGE NEWS : SS & Former Bryn Mawr Student Approves New Nurse’s Aide Resolution (The College News prints excerpts from a letter from Leila Jack- son, a former member of the class of 1946 who joined the WAVES last fall. Stationed at Milledge- ville, Georgia, she is attending a storekeepers’ school). This is a rather late response to the letters in the News of January 17 about Nurses’ Aides. I feel so strongly on the subject that I had to take time out from practicing number drills to put in my two paign for more volunteers and for more time in which to do Nurses’ Aiding—particularly for the work-. ers, because I know that there is time for most of the girls to do i even though it means a be schedule. 7 Wounded a In one evening in Atlanta I counted 10 men on crutches minus a leg and any number/with other kinds of wounds, some. permanent scars and some with only. tempor- battle areas, Thére is'a huge army hospital up Ahere with WACs, nurses’ aides, and civilian army aides. Th¢ papers are full of their shortage/ of help. vA Realization Four of the girls in my company who were nurses’ aides are plan- Ning to go on helping in the local hospital or military hospital wher- ever they may be stationed. Even this navy school seems preposter- ously civilian and pleasant. From the isolation of this small Georgia town the war seems almost as far away as it did in the academic re- moteness of ‘college. When one’s immediate. job is to study hard to acquire either a scientific skill or abroad outlook and social per- spective, literary facility or what- ever one’s major and purpose are, it is natural that the war should seem remote. Except for’ those whose husbands and very close| friends are overseas it is not en- tirely. a real war. The minor in- conveniences of restrictions-in this country are so trivial that we do not realize that this is a :world war and that other countries are living war-ruled lives. Participation As Nurses’ Aides the girls can actually become part of the strug- gle without giving up, even for a few years, their preparation for peace. History, politics, sociology and economics. mean more to those who have shared the abnormalities of war. You cannot comprehend what it means to the men of this generation until you have taken part in the struggle yourself. By helping in the hospitals, by_enlist-. ing in the armed forces (which is also a lot of fun) by using one’s abilities and strength in the im- mediately essential tasks, it is possible to have something pre- served for the peace. All-Out For me it was not-possible to put my whole effort into making col- lege a fulltime war job; it was too ‘much‘fan and too distracting. In the Navy I feel more a part of the war. Unless a girl is actually put- ting nearly all her time intu study- ing I think she Has. not even the faintest excuse for: not doing a volunteer emergency job. I can’t stress enough the import- ance of everyone’s being personal- ly aware of the impact of -war|. upon normal life and of the com- ‘pletely different way of living that is required when war is present. ae Red Cross Needs Bandages; Urgent Appeal for B. M. Volunteers To the Editor: An urgent appeal to all “Surgi- cal Dressings Volunteers” h just come from the Ardmore doe ter of the Red Cross. Although the stocks of Red Cross dressings in the European theatre ‘tre been ample up to this times the recent crucial developments/on the west- ern front have brought forth an immediate ne for 45,000,000 dressings. The “Surgical Dress- ing auxiliariés” all over the coun- try must meet this new emergency. Our Bryn Mawr unit is being call- ed upon to help meet the local Valléy Forge requirement for 2000 bandages. : This is a tremendous challenge in view of the fact that our first semester record averaged about 200: bandages per week—a mert drop in the bucket. Here is. a chance for those of you who were not able to arrange your program to fit the Nurses’ Aide course, to serve in other war work. The new hours are Wednesday evenings, /Thursday afternoons;-or—Saturday-| mornings. One of these times can fit anyone’s schedule. Sincerely, Marge Richardson ’46 Doris Braman -’46, Chairmen of Surgical Dressings College Red Cross Unit.

Describ- ing the problems of postwar Brit- ain, Mr. Gilbert Walker, professor at the University of Birmingham, named the. three principal. ques- tions as export trade, full employ- me and housing. . he income from capital. invest-. d abroad paid for half of the im-. port trade on which Epgland de--. pends for life, Mr. Walker ‘declar-. ed. ‘Since that capital has been. liquidated, imports must be paid. out of current earnings. The out-. put of food in Great Britain is. equal to half the consumption, the. rest coming from the Common-. wealth of Nations, but that source: will be virtually cut off after the war: Therefore, export trade in. exchange for importations, must. be increased 50%. “ “Throughout the nineteenth cen- tury, there was cyclical unemploy- ment,” Mr. Walker -said, “the boom periods obliterating the mem-. ory of the bad times up to 1914. Then the constant upward pro-. gression was ended in depression: and a deceleration set in. From, 1920 to 1940 unemployment, which. remained at about one million, al~ though widely distributed, repre- sented a great cost to the nation. An equitable employment prograny could have: created enough wealth to replace Capital equipment;-whose- disrepair is now being reflected in British industrial inefficiency. “If the emergency is sufficiently urgent, government can create full employment,” .the speaker said.. |“In England, democracy is on the, defensive,” he added, “since it has, meant the freedom to be unem- ployed. Now the: public demands. maintenance of full employment. The solution of the problem must. be found in the chosen battlefield. of professional economists and. left wing statesmen who see no, need to relinquish democracy in, the face of full employment, and businessmen and bankers who fear that society. must collapse if full employment is upheld. The housing problem is the. greatest need, Mr. Walker observ-. ed.

The Owls first basketball game of the season ended in a 38-33 victery for the fast and tricky Penn téam. At the end of the first quarter Bryn Mawr led by one point; the second quarter, however, decided the game with Penn’s _ surging ahead by ten points. When Agnes Nelms came in for the second half, Bryn Mawr’s prospects brightened, “and the. Owls outscored the maroon team 17-122. In spite of their come- back, the yellow team was still five points behind when the whistle blew. Varying their’ tactics ‘a great deal, Penn’s team played a_par- ticularly fast game, distinguished by tricky passes and good lay-up shots. The Owls were slow in moving up to the ball, sticking to one place while the Maroon guards pet age ob it was a remark-|- ably even fmatch when there was not too much fouling. The yellow guards, especially the captain Yvonne Townsend, played a magnificent game, while Nancy Niles was the top-scoring forward with six field goals and one free throw to her credit. Joan Hitchcock, Freshman forward who played all four quarters, came in second with eight points. ~The downfall of the Junior Var- sity also came in the second quar- ter, and they lost 34-31 to Penn’s second team. Star of the green team was Posy Johnson who piled up sixteen points. Line-ups First team Penn: Bryn Mawr: Forwards Forwards Raughley Coleman, B.

To- night in-a Vocational Conference on teaching, Dr. Burton Fowler, Headmaster of the Germantown Friends School, emphasized the importance of the right ‘people be- coming teachers in elementary schools. liberal arts colleges have the back- ground and personality of human beings, and are therefore ipoten- tially the best teachers. He as- serted that teaching is an “inspir- ing, challenging, and exciting ad - venture.” Miss Hart of the Girls’ High School of Philadelphia endorsed everything Dr. Fowler said as ap- plicable to secondary schools. She added that broad interests are es- pecially important because educa- tion “is the whole life of the child, and the whole life of the world.” Inflexible teachers, are bad, and a broad training, such as found ih a liberal arts college and in a teach- ‘ing interneship, is vital.

They trek back and forth from _ the stacks to the reading room _ but very few penetrate around the cor- ner to the Rare Book Room which jis usually amazingly unoccupied. ‘Whether or not its whereabouts are the. average Bryn Mawrtyr or whether endless hours of minor history reading has made the sight of books repellent is not known but the fact remains that the Rare Book Room is not receiv- ing the attention that it deserves. For this reason, the Rare Book Committee, under the chairmanship of Mr. Herben, has planned to stimulate a true interest in thosé objects in which many students feel compelled to bury their noses at regular intervals during their col- lege careers. Plans are being for- mulated for exhibitions of the his- tory and evolution of the book and for exhibitions. that are closely WHAT TO DO Seniors please register-with Mrs. Crenshaw-for jobs next year.

It will be held af- ter spring vacation’in order to give everyone who is interested an op- portunity to bring her books from The exhibit will consist of children’s classics, illustrated books and old favorites.of every kind. In order to-provide a guide for the selection of contributions, the com- mittee has suggested some authors and illustrators whose works would be mgst welcome. If you have ‘any books of Rackham, Howard Pyle, Kate Greenaway, Cruikshank, Maxfield Parrish, Dulac or Boutet de Monvel, it is hoped that you will lend them to the college for the exhibit. These suggestions are not intended to exclude any old favorites but are provided for the convenience of those who are not sure where to begin. Look around your book shelves when you Wre home and see if you can’t find something that you would like to see lying in state in the Rare Book Room. It is earnestly hoped that there will be a great many con- tributions and that many students will be interested in helping to ar- range the exhibit. If you have any suggestions, contributions or ques- tions, please see Susan Oulahan, Denbigh. Current Events Continued from Page 2 use. The blitz, however, has done a tremendous clearance job. In all, four and a half million homes have been damaged, and another half million razed beyond - repair. The building trade has, therefore, been expanded, ‘but it can only in- crease the housing by 300,000 by the second year after the war. The engineering trade has been util- ized in a temporary building pro- gram, to construct a quarter of a million houses in the two years following the war. The problem still is unsolved, since these “tin can” houses last only ten years, and are constructible by only two firms who possess equipment for them, which need conversion. The houses are also very small and ex- pensive.

This series was given last year with great success, with talks by varied members of each department. The general purpose of the se- ries is to assist students in choos- ing their major and to explain what kinds of work can be done in the various fields after graduation. It is hoped that those underclass- men who have not. yet chosen their majors will attend, as well.as Jun- iors and Seniors interested in ca- reers. Of the six conferences, two will concern the sciences, one the social sciences, one the classics, one the modern languages, and one the humanities. They will take place in the Common ‘Room at 4:30 in February and early March. The first, on February - 13, will deal with Psychology, Mathematics and Physics. Pe reg ae Maree eee.

Although their sojourn was brief, lasting from Saturday dinner to eleven At M. on. Sunday morning, they have ‘not evacuated the ground an impression ‘on it. The night was more for.celebration than’ for sleep. To begin with, the Harvard Glee Club worked up a ‘state of great excitement over the prospect .of spending a-night in a female dor- mitory. When they. stampeded in at two-thirty in-the morning after the danee, the very foundations of Pembroke shook, according to com- petent observers who were trying, to get some sleep. Harvard came in’ the back door, but instead of creeping up to bed in the approved manner they spent much of the night taking pictures of each oth- er. to prove’ that they. really had slept there: They finally gathered inadvertently left in a. ground floor room, and proceeded to play and chant until three-thirty.

Entitled Tart Art, the show centers around an art museum—further than that we cannot ask.

Home for Incurables In Need of Workers The Philadelphia Home for In- curables, which now has only 40 nurses aS compared to 65 before the war, is in dire need of volun- teers. ‘The work, for which no training is required, resembles, something between Nurses’ Aide and Gray Ladies. Sixteen students are now wanted for this vital work, to go to the Home on the follow- ing days: two on Mondays, two on Tuesdays, one on Wednesday, two on Thursdays, one on Fridays, and four on both Saturdays and Sun- days.. Anyone who can give five hours, from three to five any after- noon in the week; should get in touch with Gwen Leege in Rocke- feller. Bryn Mawr has received a let- ter from Mrs. Fuller, who is the treasurer of the Home, for the 99 hours of work 12 students have given this year. Those who have already done outstanding work are Emily Evarts who volunteered 15 hours, and Nancy Bierwirth, Mar- ion Moise and Agnese Nelms who have each given 13 hours. Eight other students who have helped at the Home are Louise Brown, Ann ‘Dudley, Helen Einhorn, Ruth Les- ter, Toby Locke, Katherine Lutz, Jane Ward and Gerry Pattison.

Since that*time it has been increasingly difficult to enroll workers for a long. period of time due to the war time demands that have ~been forced upon them. In order to meet these demands a short-term-train- ing period of a week or mcre was instituted to-co-ordinate with. a longer six week period. * Classes fall into three groups, Economics, English and Drama. Each course has a specific purpose that is blended in with the other two so'that the students can appre- ciate the value of Economics and English in their ordinary life. Last year eight undergraduates representing the top women’s col- leges were at the school. The func- tion of these undergraduates was assistants. Their particular work depended upon their skill-and as far as possible their desires. Their particular help was required in teaching and recreation.

Elections The Fencing Team takes plea- sure in announcing, the reelec- tion of Katherine Lutz ’45 as captain and the election of Charlotte Rider ’47 as manager. « Harrington, Fowler, Hart Urge Teaching Continued from page 3 earned in teaching, she said, holds no compensation, but there is great compensation found in the satis- faction of receiving a response from the minds of the children. Miss Harrington of Columbia University, said that teaching can ioe both exciting and wearing, but that the fact that college classes are composed of both fewer and more mature students makes it possible for the teacher to get un- der the surface and teach thoughts on the basis of the facts learned earlier. Ideas can be taught to the many differént kinds of, students and there is opportunity for more research.._Naturally college - pro- fessors must have a greater edu- catién than other teachers, and there is more competition from men.
