Two grants were made to-Bryn -Mawr-in-one-year:-a-new fellowship of $1000 was temporari- ly established by the Catherwood Foundation, and a joint grant of $105,000 was made by the Carnegie Corporation to Bryn Mawr, Haver- ford, and Swarthmore for studies in Russian language, literature, and history: Now Bryn Mawr can look forward to a possible Russian Department and Russian major. Another addition to the curriculum was the new Rufus M. Jones Chair in Philosophy and Religion which makes possible the course in med-: iaeval philosophy given in ’49-’50 Two innovations that affected stud ents immediately were the crea- tion of the DP Scholarship and the summer session in Paris which Bryn.

The campus agitated for the im- portation of concerts to Goodhart, for worthier criticisms in the NEWS, for better food and. serv- ice at the Inn, for more and better plays, for more college spirit and class ‘spirit, more music, more art, more morning assemblies. Campus concerts were found to be impract- ical, but a seriés of concerts, hitherto supported by faculty only, was opened to students. Actresses Anonymous sprang to the rescue of the supposed decline in the drama. Arts Night was on over ‘whelming refutation of the fallacy that Bryn Mawr is incapable of, or not interested in, producing arte. ‘facts.

This year’s freshman, it was soon learned, cannot be distingtished by a timid, lost, and eager ex, pression. On the contrary, when- ever you see a neat, sophisticated girl who knows exactly. where she’s going, you can immediately label her as a member of ’53. Vital statistics on the class compiled by a spy in Taylor, show that 16 are alumnae daughters that 88 were prepared by private and 60 by public schoolsand that the class as a whole represents 25 states. and 6 foreign countries. The class contains the first Jan- anese student since the war and the first DP Scholar. Total en- rollment for this year will be 759 —598 undergraduates and 156 graduates—largest in the history of the college.

The class of ’53 is coming up against two important innovations in the curriculum—the social sci- ence requirement and the new regulations for language Orals (perhaps it was the latter which prompted a heated discussion be- tween two registering freshmen as to where they should spend the junior year abroad). Also arriving at Bryn Mawr this week are ten German women who will’ be here as special students to participate in a new cultural ex. change program. ‘Other colleges involved in this program are Chi- cago, Duke, Harvard, Michigan, and Syracuse. Two of the ten women. coming to Bryn Mawr will stay in the Graduate Center, two more in undergraduate halls, and the rest in private homes near’ the campus. They will take part in various undergraduate and -grad- uate courses, as well as in a sem- nar in American Institutions to be given by Dr. Wells and Dr. Kraus “aculty advisors for the group.

For the curtains, bedspreads, and pillows that you will probably need to decorate your room, Strawbridge and Clothier in Ard- more, and Hobson and Owens in Bryn Mawr may have what you want. There are several hardware stores in Bryn Mawr, so at the Suburban or Jake’s hardware stores you can get things like soapdishes and flashlights. If the clothes you brought with you just don’t seem to be what you need, try the Tres Chic Shoppe, Joyce Lewis, or Miss Noi- rot’s, all in the village, for skirts, sweaters, and blouses. For those who are knitting fiends, Dinah Frost’s has everything you could possibly need in the way of wool, Continued on Page 3 | meeting yesterday. >3. Will Reveal Secret Melody At Parade Night Firemen Will Escort Freshmen Vietims To Flames The first question that is raised in the minds of the Sophomores its, “Can--the- Freshmen keep a secret?” The class of ’53 will first be put to the test on Tuesday, October 4. The confusion of the first day of classes will be cli- maxed that night by a primitive and incomprehensible orgy known as Parade Night. During the preceding week the efforte of the Freshmen, ~ under their temporary song mistress, are concentrated on composing lyrics to a melody which must be hid- den from the Sophomores. The choice of tunes is rather limited to “Boola, Boola’, “Beer Barrel Polka”, “Farmer in the Dell”, and one or two others, which makes ’53’s task more difficult. Beware of Sophomores The Sophomores are a devious lot and will stoop to vile tricks. Beware, Freshmen, beware espe- cially the confused girl who comes up to you with: “I wasn’t at the What is the tune?” There are other methods, too, and far more subtle, such as hiding under beds and in closets, or donning innocent and lost ex- pressions as they attend Freshman song meetings. The Firemen’s Band arrives in all its glory and leads the Fresh- men, singing their tune, from Pem Arch to the hockey field, where Sophomores are war-dancing around a vicious bonfire, singing their conception of the notorious tune. To the blaring accompani- ment of the firemen, who seem to be needed on such an occasion, the Freshmen charge, roll, and somer- sault down the hill toward the flames to break the line of the Sophomores. Afterwards, harmony is tem- porarily restored, and the surviv- ors from both classes adjourn to their halls for songs and refresh- ments.

Saturday, October 1, 1949 Foreign Observer 50 An hour and a half is a very short time in which to prepare oneself for the necessary emotion- al ‘transition between the Paris and the London of today. We left Paris on a bright sunny day at the beginning of September. The city was bursting with life streets crowded with people of all nationalities (Americans strongly predominating), shop windows fill- ed with goods, sidewalk cafes do- ing a booming business, and all of Paris pervaded with the bust- ling atmosphere of reviving pros- perity. The plane took off at noon, and in ten minutes Paris was out of sight, lost in the smoke of the factories on her outskirts. A few minutes and we were above the scattered clouds, getting inter- mittent glimpses of the flat French countryside. Northern France is a warm-looking region... The fields, laid out with geometric precision, ranged in color from pale yellow- ish green to orangy beige. The towns all looked much alike from the air — tight clusters of red- roofed houses with here and there a church spire reflecting the sun upward. The trees were tidily grouped in forests or along roads — no straggly bushes to disrupt the neatness. TRYOUTS If you are interested in journ- alism, and also in hearing the latest news before the rest of | the campus, try out for the College NEWS. Tryouts for all ‘Classes will be held on Monday, October 9, at 4:00 in the News room in Goodhart. Come one, come all! by Irina Nelidow, Before one o’clock we had: reach- ed the Channel, and in five more minutes were over England. The @hannel seemed motionless, like coarse-grained cardboard, green- ish near the coast, otherwise gray- blue, blotched with the purple of the cloud shadows. Southern England seemed lush in comparison with the warm dry region we had just left. Rolling igreen fields, bordered by darker green hedges and scattered with low, widebranched trees conveyed a deceptively peaceful and serene feeling. The towns sprawled out-- no sharp demarcation lines as in France. We circled London, banking and losing altitude rapidly. London is The ‘Houses of Parliament, the Abbey, the tiny dot which was the Eros in Piccadilly Circus, loomed up and grew bigger at an almcet alarm- ing rate. The great bombed gaps in the city (particularly around St. Paul’s and the Temple) caused by the utter destruction of whole rows of blocks also grew bigger, and somehow gave an impression of strength —the strength of an old city which had withstood dis- aster in the past and was still un- defeated. But after we had landed and driven into the heart of London, we- found ourselves in a lifeless city. The weather was still bright _and_ sunny, but-no-one-particularly..|— enjoyed it. The atmosphere was one of disheartened hopelessness. True, it was Saturday and people were away, the shops were closed; but it had been Saturday in Paris too. In London there was no gaiety, i a despairing calm.
