‘A Guide To Philadelphia Entertainment
includes Academies, Museums & Alley

by Mimi Collins, ’57

“The following: guide will be use-
ful to an out-of-towner, for it pre-
sents, Philadelphia in a nutshell.
“Ben Franklin Parkway, 15th to
‘26th, parallel to Market, lends
‘grace and beauty to an otherwise
overcrowded city. Its fountains
and statues are breathtaking. The
drive is broken by the following
points of interest.

Philadelphia Museum of Art,

Parkway and 26th Street. An im-
mense building of Greek design,
the museum houses exhibits of
European and Asian works of art.
Featured in the collection are Ren-
aissance objects from Italy. and

’ ‘Prance, a series, of French rooms

of Louis XIV-XVI periods, oriental
art. and a collection illustrating
the evolution of painting, which
includes such masters as Van
Eyck, Masolino, and Botticelli.
Benjamin Franklin Institute,
Parkway and 20th Streets. «The
Institute is one of the nation’s
foremost institutions for the study
‘of mechanical arts and applied sci-
ence. - Its displays include self-
operative exhibits illustrating the

“pasie principles of science.

The most exceptional part of the
Institute is the Fels Planetarium
which is currently featuring a trip
tothe moon. The. Planetarium,
@onated in 1933 by Samuel Fels,
depicts the universe with the sun,
moon, planets, and stars in their
relative position at specific periods.

Academy ‘of Natural Sciences,
Parkway at 19th and Race Streets.
The Academy possesses a famous
collection of natural specimens,
and carries out extensive research

among the displays are animal-
life groups, notable exhibits of
minerals, a fascinating fluorescent

exhibit which reveals glowing col-| ;

ors hidden in certain minerals, and
a:hall of birds.
_ Before leaving the Parkway to
hit uather high spots about town,
tourists can fortify themselves
with food at The Parkway House,
located at 22nd and Parkway. It’s
expensive; its modern, luxurious
atmosphere may make it worth the
price.

Streets. Outstanding in the Aca-
“‘demy’s permarient ‘collection is a
‘representative cross-section rang-
ing from-its Peales, Stuarts, and
Sullys through Eakins, Homer and
Chase to many contemporary art-
ists. The Annual Exhibition of
Painting. and Sculpture continues
to hold first place in importance in
national art life.

Elfreth’s Alley, between Arch
and Race, Front and 2nd Streets.
For colonial atmosphere at its best,
Elfreth’s Alley captures all prizes.
As soon as a visitor turns off Arch
into the quaint, dingy. cobblestone
street he finds himself transported
to the past.

Women lean out of narrow shut-
tered windows, and the _stores,!
whose signs’ are in old English’
script, provide a real life reproduc-
tion of Philadelphia in the late
1600's,

Regarded.as.the oldest.street_in
United States, Elfreth’s Alley still
has its original residences. The
brick buildings, all of which are
occupied, are over 225 years old.
‘The Alley’s claim to fame is the
fact--that;-Ben~--Franklin’and~Ste-
phen Girard once lived there.

Founded in 1669, Gloria Dei is the

old log blockhouse, but the present
structure was first used for serv-

Zoological Society of Philadel-
phia, 34th and Girard Avenue.-This
is the “only place” to visit on a
balmy spring afternoon when the
urge to study has been completely
abandoned. Another of Philadel-
phia’s first, the Society opened its
doors to the public in 1794.

The collection of animals is
among the finest in the world and
numbers approximately 1500 speci-
mens, In some of the buildings
the zoo staff has created a fac-
simile of the animal’s natural hab-
itat. Particularly outstanding are
the new carnivora house, and bird
houses and monkey island.

March 6—“King of the Khy- }.

Female’”’ hte

by Ruth Rasch, '57

Last Thursday Bryn Mawr’s
basketball team was defeated in a
very fast game with Immaculata
by the score of 61 to 31. The play-
ing in the game was outstanding
for its speed and this was the ad-
vantage which gave the victory to
the visitors. -

This unaccustomed speed caused
an exceptionally high number cf
fouls on the Bryn Mawr side but
no member of the team was fouled
out. Despite the difference in the
score it was generally agreed that
the Bryn Mawr team played ex-
ceptionally well. The performance
of the guards, M. G. Warren, Bob-
bie Olséy, and Marina: Rubezanin
was outstanding.

Good team work was another
quality of the Immaculata girls
which helped bring victory to their

which the Supreme Court has also
adopted.
Mr... Meikeljohn has several criti-

| cisms —-of “the “clear--and-- present
danger” doctrine, the term of ap-

proach to the problem of freedom
— specifically the freedom of
speech — vs. authority. Among
them is the fact that the Supreme
Court, “by adopting a theory which
annuls the Fifth Amendment, has
struck a disastrous blow at our. na-
tional education. It ‘has denied the
belief that men can, by processes
of free public discussion, govern
themselves”.

to he the authorities’ lack of faith
in the judgment of those from
whom they derive their authority,
ja distrust of Justice Douglas’ state-
‘ment that “When ideas compete in
the market for aceptance, full and
free discussion expose the false
and they gain few adherents”.

Bryn Mawr Swim Team
Achieves Single Victory

° by Ruth Rash, 57

Bryn Mawr Gymnasium, Feb. 25
—Though swimming hard and well,
Bryn Mawr was defeated by
Swarthmore at their swimming
meet. Swarthmore, undefeated for
the last sevep-years, took the meet
with a total point score of 24 to
our 18.

The visitors’ edge in the junior
varsity events was much greater:
there the point total read 41 to 16.

Bryn Mawr’s most exciting and.

important single victory was. the
triumph in the free: style relay. In
individual events no Bryn Mawrter
took a. first but Ann Lebo and
Marjory Fair. had seconds, in the
back and front crawl respectively.
Peggy King and Dina Bickerman
took a seeend and .third in the
breast stroke event.

The outstanding competitor in
the diving competition was.G: Vate
who came in second, after Porter
of Swarthmore. Her front dive
brought her a loud round of ap-
plause from the spectators. Jan
Hetzel, also, dived extremely well
for Bryn Mawr.
