Ferrer Lecture Topic Announced: Modern Theatre On Thursday, March 18th, Jose Ferrer will lecture in Goodhart, at 8 o’clock, on Phases of Contempo- rary Theatre. His lecture will be based. upon student questions, which should be sent to Henny Burch, Merion, before the 18th. Mr. Ferrer, who went to Prince- ton, has been in the theatre since 1935, when he appeared with Joshua, Logan’s Stock Company at Suffern, New York. He has play- ed in A Slight Case of Murder, An- thony and Cleopatra, Brother Rat, Mamba’s Daughters, Key Largo, Charley’s Aunt, and he succeeded Danny Kaye as Jerry Walker in Let’s Face It. In 1943 he played [ago in Othello, with Paul Robeson and toured with it during 1944-45. He next staged and played in Strange Fruit, toured in The Play’s The Thing and Cyrano. Recently he has been at the City Centre and has put on Volpone and some Russian one-act plays. Wilder Discusses Christian Faith, Biblical Symbols Common Room, March 8. In explaining “Faith and its Lan- guage in the New Testament,” Pro- fessor Amos N. Wilder, professor of the New Testament at Chicago Theological Seminary, asserted “Faith makes its own picture of the world and has to find a language to describe this picture.” In this, faith is analogous to poetry which also has to use its own symbols of expression. Professor Wilder explained that the problem of faith or loss of rit- ual in modern life is due to discour- agement and to a half-faith which is irresponsible and misleading. Faith is undergoing a crisis be- cause “there is no emphatic empha- sis of potent faith in our life to- day,” he continued. Therefore, we feel that we are not behaving like ourselves and want some sign of the magnanimity of faith. “In order to achieve a political faith, the am- biguity in the Christian faith, Continued on Page 5 ~ History, Knitting, Cleaning Mark Knaplund, New Undergrad Pres. by.-Betty-Bright.

She didn’t even drop a stitch on that crimson and white Harvard sweat- er so well-known in Undergrad Council. “After all, I am a history major and I don’t believe in knit- ting in classes,” she explained very logically. Completing a cycle begun Fresh- man year when her S.

This augurs well for the continuance of the present pro- gram of inter-organizational co- operation! “Doing things together” will be the keynote of Undergrad next year, Karen promised. “Big week- ends that have been so wonderful this year, step-singing and a feel- ing of co-operation throughout the campus are to be increased next year,” she’ continued.

Toynbee Returns; Talks on Change In English Life “A silent and bloodless social revolution of a far-reaching kind has occurred in England with a minimum degree of fear and hate,” declared Professor Arnold Toyn- bee, speaking in chapel on March 7, in Goodhart auditorium. His sub- ject was “Recent Social Changes in England and Their Religious Sig- nificance.” In the last generation there was a great cleavage between the middle and working classes in England, Dr. Toynbee said. A num- ber of the middle class was occupied in. the Indian Civil Service, where their world was secure and their old age provided for. The working class, however, had no such secur- ity to look forward to, and it was extremely difficult for them to rise out of their class. A big social revolution occurred just before 1914, Dr. Toynbee as- serted, and the situations, or rath- er the expectations, of the two classes have now been reversed. Opportunities have shrunk for the With the gradual steps towards the freedom of India that field has been closed to them. At the same time, the competition for available openings has greatly increased, due to the revolution in education available to the lower Continued on Page 2 Maids, Porters Dance March 19th The annual Maids’ and Porters’ dance will be held on March 19, in the gym, from 9 until 1 o’clock.|‘ Dress will be formal and a seven- piece orchestra, of which one of the former porters is a member, prom- ises lively music of all varieties.

Carey Thomas Award is presented from time to time at the discretion of a Committee approv- ed by the Alumnae Association to an American woman in recognition of eminent achievement. The award carries with it the gift of $5,000, which tonight is divided be- tween the two recipients. Mrs. Roosevelt has announced that her share will be alotted to the Wilt- wyck School at Esopus, New York, for delinquent boys between the ages of seven and twelve. Mrs. Roosevelt leaves for London at the end of March for the unveiling of a statue of Franklin Delano Roose- velt. This year’s Committee in charge of the Award, of which Miss Mc- Bride is .chairman, includes Mrs. Stephen V. Benet, Mrs. Everett N. Case, Dr. Margaret D. Craighill, Mrs. George Gellhorn, Mrs. Wallace Notestein and Mrs. Samuel H. Paul. Founded as Tribute As a tribute to M. Carey Thom- as, president of Bryn Mawr Col- lege 1894-1922, the award was founded by a group of alumnae in {922. They turned over to the Col- lege the sum of $25,000, the ac- cumulated interest to be used from time to time. An additional sum of $5,000 was contributed ‘so that the first Award could be made to President Thomas upon her retire- ment. When Miss Park presented Miss Thomas with the first Award, she set the requirements for the recip- ient. The award “should be given to an American’ woman of emi- nence who, whatever her profession or her interests or her attainment might be, artist, statesman, writer, scientist, should possess two quali- ties which Miss Thomas herself had preeminently. “First, she should have the cour- age, imagination, wisdom, clear sight of the leader, and second, she should carry in her heart the wel- Continued on Page 6 Engagement ‘Helen H. Burch ’48, to ‘Lt. Cdr. Charles Patrick Nixon, R.C.N. International Attainment Humanitarianism Recognized Goodhart, March 11, 8:30 P. M. It was announced tonight that the joint recipients of the M. Carey Thomas Award for 1948 were Elea- nor Roosevelt and Anna _ Lord Strauss. Miss Katherine Elizabeth McBride, president of the college, made the presentation. After re- sponses by Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Strauss, the Honorable Wiley Blount Rutledge gave the address. “The outstanding achievement at this time among the women of this country,” said Miss McBride, “is in the critical field of international relations. There women are con- tributing leadership to a degree and in a fashion unknown when the M. Carey Thomas award was founded. There they are evolving an understanding of world prob- lems which is a major factor in the action of this government and in the climate of public opinion.” Not Split Decision The award has been made jointly for the first time not because of a split decision in any sense, but in an effort to emphasize the inter- related achievements of these wom- en. On this subject Miss McBride spoke as follows: “The members of this audience will be instantly aware that either of these women might have won such an award as this separately and on several counts. “Mrs. Roosevelt has served this country for. many years and in many capacities, long before the United Nations was formed or the Commission on Human Rights turned over to her chairmanship. Were I to choose the basis for an award to Mrs. Roosevelt singiy I should make it to her as a great humanitarian. She is preeminent in her belief in man and his ability to improve his own conditions and his relationships with his fellows, preeminent also in her day to day effort in support of those working for the betterment of man. “Miss Strauss, too, is a> public servant, convinced of the values of democratic society and devoting her life to their reinforcement. It would be easy to make such an award to her as public servant, and Continued on Page 2 : Seideman Assumes Dual Role: Orienting, Cleaning, Frosh, Shoes by Helen Martin, ’49 Assuming two new jobs simul- taneously does not seem to faze Ann Seideman, whose first reaction on being interviewed after her elec- tion as president of Self-Gov., was a hope “that it will work out as well this year as it did last year.” Ann, who has also become co-head of the Merion Cleaning Agency, says that at any rate her feet are large enough to fit into the double job! At present, she sees no need of change in the organization. The very small number of cases that had to be considered this year, she points out, proves how well the sys- tem is working, and also proves that the students are assuming. in- dividual responsibility. “Comparison with the govern- mental systems of other colleges shows that Bryn Mawr has an al- most unique one, laying the entire responsibility on the _ student body,” proudly says Ann, who has done considerable work for the new NSA student government clinic re- cently established on campus. “The big job that always faces Self-Gov., as well as the entire stu- dent body, is the orienting of the freshman class next year into our system,” she adds. “Most of the entering students have lived under fairly heavily regulated systems in the schools from which they come; at Bryn Mawr, they have to learn to assume the responsibility of their own government.” Page Two Gq THE: COLLEGE NEWS THE COLLEGE NEWS FOUNDED IN 1914 Published weekly during the College Year (except during Thanks- giving, Christmas and Easter holidays, and during examination weeks) in the interest of Bryn Mawr College at the Ardmore Printing Company, Ardmore, Pa., and Bryn Mawr College. ‘ The College News is fully protected by copyright.

Carey Thomas Award We at Bryn Mawr are proud to have a part in tonight’s M. Carey Thomas award. We are proud that such an award exists, to be given in the name of Bryn Mawr’s past great president; and we are sorry that the whole student body cannot_attend the presentation to see our own great presi- dent make the award. Bryn Mawr gives no honorary degree; this is its highest honor. Originally founded by a group of alumnae as a trib- ute to Miss Thomas herself, the award was then designated as an honor to be given to any American woman, in recogni- tion of eminent achievement. The list of recipients is a stir- ring roll-call: M. Carey Thomas, 1922; Jane Addams, 1931; Florence Sabin, 1935; Marion Edwards Park, 1943; and now _ Eleanor Roosevelt and Anna Lord Strauss. They advanced the cause of women, the welfare of people everywhere. They bettered health, social conditions, Seem tion, national and international affhirs. When the prize was awarded to Miss Thomas, Miss Park postulated the two qualities requisite for the honor: “First, she should have the courage, imagination, wisdom, clear sight of the leader, and second, she should carry in her heart the welfare of women.” To Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Strauss, we offer congratu- lations. We know that you possess these qualities in full measure, and so we welcome you into a brave fellowship. ERP or Chaos? It is now scarcely nine months since the U. S.-first-pro- posed the Marshall Plan for European Recovery. Intended to support and aid the countries of Western Europe until they could rehabilitate themselves, the Marshall Plan also offers a substantial threat to Communism in general and to Russia in particular by attempting to remove the discontent which so often fosters and encourages Communism. As was to be expected, Russia opposed and boycotted the Marshall Plan in every conceivable way: by formulating the Molotov Plan for Eastern Europe in July, by establishing the nine-nation Com- intern to combat ERP, in October, and by launching large- scale industrial and civil strikes in France and Italy in order to create chaos and prevent the peaceful and rational solu- tion of their own problem by these countries. Her last step has been to stage a coup d’etat in Czechoslovakia and simul- taneously to move into Finland. ° It is clear that this tense situation of East vs. West can- not last indefinitely without a showdown of some sort. Russia now controls all the Balkans except Greece, but (except for her zone in Germany) has as yet no official hold on the coun- tries of Western Europe. However, the real test is still to come. If the April elections in Italy should put the Com- Current Events Speaking on Spain Monday night in the Common Room, Miss Nep- per stated that eighty-five per cent of Spain is dissatisfied with Franco’s government and would gladly overthrow it. However, they fear another civil war and want a bloodless change of govern- ment. The core of Spanish resistance can be divided into two main groups, she continued. First of all, there are the Monarchists who have sub-divided into the “tough school” and will have nothing to do with Franco and into another group who would be willing to compromise if they thought that Franco would bring peace to Spain. The other main group of national Spanish resistance are the Leftist parties. There are five of them, the Communist party being the most important. There are also two trade union groups: the an- archist CNT and the _ socialist UGT. “The Socialists dominated the popular front before the war,” Miss Nepper stated. Finally, there are right and left Republicans. These five groups joined in a sin- gle bloc when the Communists join- ed in 1936. They now run a paper and have a political platform which asks for a parliamentary form of government, a review of the judi- cial system, civil right and educa- tion in the handy of the State and not the church. The Spanish government in exile still exists, but because of a severe split, its ranks are weak. It was hopeful of action when its members were asked to the San Francisco Conference in 1945 and with the inauguration of Britain’s Socialist government that same summer. Spanish resistance circles Tn and out of Spain both feel that the U N and Britain have let them down. Roosevelt, Strauss Receive Joint Award Continued from Page 1 to cite her contribution in many agencies in New York State and in the country at’ large. * International Achievement “It is the achievement of these two women in the _ international field; however, which this particu- lar award signalizes. As a mem- ber of the United States delegation to the First Session of the Gen- eral Assembly and later as Chair- man of the Human Rights Com- mission, Mrs. Roosevelt has become one of the great representatives of the United States... It has been Miss Strauss’ privilege to contrib- ute to the development of policy but particularly to increase under- standing across the country through the League of Women Voters. President of the National League of Women Voters since 1944, Miss Strauss has taken the leadership at a time when interna- tional problems were of the utmost significance. She has made a great contribution in bringing to women the kind of knowledge which is both the spur to intelligent- action and the basis for it.” Invited to attend..the Award Continued on Page 5 Elections The College News takes great pleasure in announcing the fol- lowing elections: (President of Self-Gov., Ann Seideman.

Graduate’s Letter Questions Criticism Of Play To the editor: While I am in no postition to judge the merits of Miss Low’s play, there are two points in her recent letter with which I should like to take issue. Before doing so, however, I wish to state that I com- pletely agree with her in that the original review was.of no construc- tive help to the author. Miss Low tells us that “play- wrights have always written for audiences, to entertain them, not to lecture or preach to them.” -I can- not agree. On the contrary, the better playwrights have always produced something besides sheer entertainment. Sophocles, Aristo- phanes and Plautus did not merely entertain. Will anyone claim that Shakespeare never preaches or lec- tures? Are Bernard Shaw, Max- well Anderson, Eugene O’Neill dramatists ‘who have provided nothing but frothy entertainment?

It is a disgrace that our administrative officers are more Review I think not. It is rather the meas- ure of their worth that they have held their audiences while in the act of lecturing to them. Responsibility of Playwright If Miss Low is going to write for the “people,” and I would be interested in*knowing the identity of this generality, then should she not feel somé' obligation to them in her writing? She cannot be satis- fied with giving them entertain- ment alone without including, sub- tly, food for thought. The drama is one of-the most omnipotent of arts as it reaches such a large number of people, and as such it has a heavy responsibility. As one who has so frequently expressed a deep interest in the state of the world, Miss Low must realize that the dramatists’ power of communi- cation can do much towards improv- ing conditions. It is, therefore, his duty to use this power to effect the greatest amount of good. It is im- probable that writing without any important theme or moral will achieve this goal. I find it difficult to believe that, in the short space of time that has elapsed since last June, Bryn Mawr has undergone such _ radical changes. Miss Low would have us think that Bryn Mawr audiences are “neither intellectual nor emo- tional.” Then she tells us that “these people admitted that the play held their emotional and intel- lectual interest.” It would seem that Miss Low has drawn comfort from a vacuum! The assertion that Bryn Mawr audiences are “a large part snobs, prudes and prejudiced pretenders” is an interesting, albeit unfortun- ate, bit of alliteration. I think there are many of us who would protest that if she has learned no more from “living with sharecroppers’” than she has from living with Bryn Mawr, her intimate-knowledge of the former is questionable.

Toynbee Returns interested in party politics, with the 1948 elections in view, than they are in taking the steps to save Europe (and inci- dentally to save ourselves) from chaos. The speedy passing and putting into effect of the Marshall Plan is now our last hope for a peaceful world, and all Europe i is looking to us for help. To Speak in Chapel Continued from Page 1 class. There has been a change in the whole tone of life as well as in political and social reforms, Dr. Toynbee said. The people are more cultivated and more humane now. The nation asa whole has lost a political empire, and, still more im- portant, an economic one as well. At the same time she-has gained a more acute sense of social jus- tice, while a high degree of acqui- escence has accompanied all changes. “There has been no break in the constitutional life and his- tory of the country,” Dr. Toynbee declared. This is a safeguard against explosions of violence. The lower class has never been so em- bittered as \to refute the constitu- -| tion, and they-have taken on par- liamentary tradition completely, gaining their power by constitu- tional means. The conscience of the middle class, who have yielded so much, has a religious basis and origin, Professor Toynbee declared. Being idealistic, the religious element has been the main thing which has kept the revolution from being non- violent. “When politics cease to be inspired by religion, they soon go astray,” according to Dr. Toynbee, but religious methods and princi- ples should not be applied to the execution of politics. Men’s rela- tions to one another are constantly in a state of flux, whereas their relations to God are more stable, and therefore the same. methods cannot be applied to both.

Incidentally Not everyone is as history-haunt- ed as the young ladies of Bryn Mawr, we discovered Sunday night, when the telephone rang in the NEWS room, and a Voice asked “Is there going to be a talk in Good- hart tonight?” When we replied that Mr. Toynbeé was going to speak, ana the voice said, “Who is he?” we were so non-plussed that we could only stammer that, well, he was supposed to be the foremost historian in the world! — * * * Evidently the Freshman Show has begun a battle royal with Hav- erford, or at least it would seem so in view of the conversation over- heard in Art Lab, when one lad couldn’t understand the reason for a girl knitting a white baby sweat- er. The girl remarked cleverly — she thought—that there were girl, boy and neuter babies; but regret- ted her remark when the Haver- fordian immediately responded, with accents of disgust, “Oh, that’s the kind they send to Bryn Mawr!” * * * What A.

And what faculty representative had better turn his attention from fire control to flood prevention? * * * The rational is not always tri- umphant, we found the other day in the Inn. We reproduce verbatim theconversation we overheard: “We called off the Horaces and at seven- thirty six of them showed up in Rhoads Showcase looking for Maisie.” * * * And speaking of the “Vanishing Lady”, as aren’t we all after the mass frustration program sponsor- ed by Undergrad Friday night in ‘the Music Room, won’t someone take the Thirty-Nine Steps, or * however many are necessary to bring her back alive? a We hope that no Reynolds’ rep- resentatives are browsing around the campus these days; we can think of nothing more depressing than seeing 500 of their cigarette cases, each with a neatly-embossed CAMELS upon it, enclosing 500 packs of Chesterfields! Pollock To Speak On Don Sturzo Dr. Robert C. Pollock, associate professor in the graduate school of Arts and Sciences at Fordham University will lecture on “Christ- ian and Modern Humanism in the Philosophy of Don Sturzo’ in the Common Room at 830 on Marca 16. Sturzo is the great political phil- ‘osopher and sociologist of modern Italy, the founder and _ spiritual |leader of the Christian Democratic |Party. After founding the Con- federation of. Christian Democrati¢ Unions and the Popular Party of which he was the head, he contin- ued his work in other countries, writing prolifically while exiled from fascist Italy. Returning after Mussolini’s downfall, he returned to his work with the Popular Party, which emerged as_ the Christian Democratic Party. Dr. Pollock has been for some years a student of the philosoph- ical aspects of Don Sturzo’s social theories and recently lectured. on the Italian philosopher and sociol- ogist at the New School in New York. These lectures, together with other essays on Don Sturzo’s thought, are being published as “Man in Society and Thought.” _ THE COLLEGE NEWS Dempwolt Sets National Reeord- In Intercol.

Oslo U. Offers Summer Courses This summer, the time, the University of Oslo will hold its. American. Summer. School. The session, during which students will be able to earn a maximum of six semester credits, will last from July 1 until August 15. A total of fifteen different courses in the fields of science and the humanities are being offered in addition to a required survey course. Total expenses are estimated at $250. It is hoped that transporta- tion will be no more than last sum- mer, $134 to $200 one way. There will be a limited number of schol- arships and part-time jobs avail- able. Prospective students should have completed their Sophomore year by the summer. Applicants are requested to ad- dress their inquiries to the Univer- ‘sity of Oslo Summer School Office, St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minn. Applications must be received not later than March 15, 1948. for second Jobs Discussed At Language Tea At the tea for faculty and students of the Modern Language department, fac- ulty and alumnae speakers agreed that best possible profession for students in this field. Other opportunities in government work and in the busi- ness world were also cited, but teaching was unanimously advo- cated as most advantageous. Miss Frances de Graaff, assist- ant professor of Russian at Bryn Mawr, described the opportunities in the teaching profession, empha- sizing that the long vacations as well as the chance to be with young people at an especially important point in their lives allows teachers to “learn by doing.” This, she added, more than compensates for the usual drawbacks attributed to teaching. Explains Gov’t Positions In explaining the government positions open to modern language majors, Mrs. Katherine Richard Hill, ’39, formerly with the State department in Washington and Germany, stated that other skills, especially a knowledge of econ- omics or history, was more im portant than the knowledge of a language. “Your language is mere- ly a tool which you can use in translating and interpreting, but it is more a prerequisite than a qualification.” Like Miss de Graaff, Mrs. Hill suggested teaching as a profession in which real satisfac- tion can be derived from working. The government work is glamor- ous, but there is no feeling of hav- ing accomplished anything. Miss Dorothy Nepper, Dean of the College, summed up what had already been said and suggested 2 remedy for “the ghost character that haunts the American scene.” Her remedy is going to conven- tions of various women’s organiza- tions where the student will find that there are ‘odd’ women in all professions. She added some in- formation about positions now held by former language majors,\ and advocated a course in how to get a job. ‘ Vocational Committee teaching seemed. the : { Page Four \ THE COLLEGE NEWS NOTICES Commencement Speaker - The senior class announces that the Commencement speaker this year will be ‘Henry J.

Quartet To Play In Wayne Sunday The Tri-County Concerts Asso- ciation will offer one of the out- standing musical events of its cur- rent season next Sunday evening, March 14, when it brings the re- nowned Curtis String Quartet, as- sisted by William Berman, viola, and Meta Taber, ’cello, to Radnor High School, Wayne, in a program of chamber music. The concert is scheduled for 8:30 P. M. and the public is invited. There is no admission charge. Those. who wish to contribute to- ward this and further concerts will find collection boxes at the doors. The program’ will include Haydn’s famous “Lark” Quartet, Mozart’s Quintet in G minor, K. 516, and the Brahms Sextet in B flat major, Opus 18. The Curtis Quartet, which is made up of Jascha Brodsky, violin, Louis Berman, violin, Max Aro- noff, viola; and Orlando Cole, cello, is rapidly becoming one of the top quartets in the country and an- other source of Philadelphia’s claim to musical fame. Since 1927, the group has cross- ed two continents and played more than a thousand concerts. Recent- ly, it realized an ambition by es- tablishing its own New School of Music in Philadelphia.

Since the faith of the New Testament is a “Good News— so extraordinary that it leads to elation and triumph,” it must find a suitable medium of expression in the symbolism of the age when ‘it appeared. Enigma of New Testament To understand the faith in the New Testament we must therefore put ourselves in the place of some- one undergoing a gigantic, power- ful faith., Citing Jesus’ Message of the Future, Professor Wilder show- ed that the attempt to come to terms with the language in which this tremendous faith is expressed is of three kinds—the literal or prosaic way, which leads to a com- plete misunderstanding or loss of the message; the interpretation that the kingdom of God asserts it- self little by little in this world, ' which is also false, and the recogni” tion that Jesus is using his own symbols without distinguishing be- tween this and the other world. Professor Wilder claimed that the great error of today is to think in terms of a finite rather than an infinite God, thereby destroying se- curity and losing the full triumph of faith. Self-Gov V.

We had a breakfast of one little ‘piece of bread with jam, powdered orange juice and lousy coffee. But the sun poured in a lovely dark oak-panelled dining room and the garden is magnificent—all enclosed and green. I’m sitting in it now in the sun writing.

VISIT PETTICOATS ™ CAMISOLES COTTONS R by Elizabeth Woodward America’s foremost authority on young people’s problems Of the people you know, how many will you still be seeing ten years from now? Only the ones you know really well, you say. The kids you’ve grown up up with. The new friends you've made best friends. All the others will fall by the wayside... out of sight and out of memory. You haven't time to keep them for posterity. For with you...to be friends is to go all out. Being constantly together, sharing secrets, accumulating memories, plowing into new experiences shoulder to shoulder, dishing out big doses of devotion, possessing each other. There’s no halfway measure. Being that close takes so much steam... you can be friends with only a few. There just isn’t any more of you to go around, You’ve probably settled down cozily to going steady with one boy. ... You have a man for all the big and little moments when you need one. You don’t need other map,-yan think. Besides, there aren’t any free othe dating hours. In between dates, you run around with one special girl. She’s your port in all storms, your constant abettor, your other half. These best friends require a lot of attention. They don’t thrive. on separation, indifference or casual treatment. So you sit back in your snug harbor and date only one boy ...and meet no others. You trot with the same group of girls...and never raise your sights. While the rest of your acquaintances stay casual... just because you haven’t time to draw them close. __. You know ...a girl is known by the company she keeps. Her friends are an indication of her taste and ersonality ,.. just as are the clothes she wears, the things she reads, and the perfume she puts behind her ears. A girl can always get by with just one good dress. But just wear it every day in the week and high days too...and it gets to be like a very old shoe. A wardrobe that offers changes to fit her moods is more colorful and more fun. Pals of the bosom are a comfort and joy. But you can still be that all-out friend with people you don’t see all the time. You can share life and laughs with friends you don’t clutch close. You can pile up back- logs of memories with cronies you don’t possess. You can keep lots of friendships thriving if you'll spread yourself thinner...and circulate, Why not bedeck your future with a variety of good friends?
