The GULLEGE NEWS VOL. XLV, NO. 25 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., TUESDAY, MAY 31, 1949 Copyright, Trustees of Bryn Mawr College,1945 PRICE 15 CENTS Beverly m Levin Awarded European Fellowship Dr. Machregor Named to Hold R. Jones Chair Philosopher, Minister_ To Offer Three New Courses The announcement of the ap- pointment of Dr. ‘Geddes Mac- Gregor to the Rufus M. Jones Chair in Philosophy and Religion was made by Miss McBride this morning, during the course of the Commencement ceremonies. Mr. MacGregor, who holds the degrees of B.D. and L.L.B. from the Uni- versity of Edinburgh, and D. Phil. from Oxford, is a Minister of the Church of Scotland, and has, at present, his own church in Glas- gow. At the same time he holds an appointment as Assistant in Philosophy. and Religion at the University of Edinburgh. Mr. MacGregor will give three full courses, or the equivalent, next year. He is scheduled to take on one section of the first year course in History of Philosophy, which will be given in five sections for the first time. He will give two semester courses in the second year group: Philosophy and Re- ligion in the first semester, and Comparative Religion in the sec- ond. The third course Mr. Mac- Gregor will give will probably al- ternate from year to year between a seminary and an advanced course: next year, he will give an advanced course in Mediaeval Phil- osophy. Mr. MacGregor has studied at the Sorbonne as well as at Ox- ford and Edinburgh, and is ac- quainted with the leading French Philosophers of the day. Earlier this year, he was flown from Scot- land to Bryn Mawr between Sun- day services, to interview the ad- ministration. The NEWS hopes to publish a-full interview with Mr. MacGregor in its first fall issue. Beverly Ann Levin, European Fellow Jean Helene Ellis, Catherwood Fellow a yy SBS eae Nancy Martin, Burch Fellow 3-Year Drive Reaches $2,200,400; Slade Announces Succesfui The news that the Drive has not only been completed but overrun by the welcome margin of ten per- cent, bringing the total to $2,20,- 000, was announced by Mrs. F. Louis Slade, Chairman of the Alumnae Fund for the primary purpose of increasing academic salaries and also for the increase of scholarships and certain special projects. Of the 4712 contributors 3816 or over 81% are alumnae. The Fiftieth Reunion Class, 1899, has contributed through the Fund $29,700. The districts into which the alumnae are divided made contvi- butions as follows: District I, .$247,800; District II, $1,331,400; _District_ITI, $91,400; District IV, $87,700; District V, $259,000; District VI, $27,000; Dis- trict VII, $31,300; District VIII, $15,100; Foreign, $6,600; and Un- allocated, $102,700. The first two gifts to the Fund were: $26,000 for the Paul Shorey Chair of Greek collected by Evan- geline Walker Andrews and Susan Walker Fitz Gerald of the Class of 1893, and $30,000 from Mr. and Mrs. Gerard Swope for the in- crease of academic salaries. Mrs. Slade also announced the Dachshund, Trunk, Bibulous Bird Brighten B. M.’s Fond Farewells by Paula Strawhecker, °52 and Emily Townsend, ’50 Across from a huge, extremely attractive, red balloon dachshund swaying elegantly between the li- brary towers, the round of senior humor and_nostalgic singing which make up the annual Class Day pro- gram began. Even the dachshund admirers were forced to pay atten- tion as the seniors sank down in front of a large red trunk repos- ing mysteriously on the top step. _ Bumpings and scratchings gave way to the eventual emergence cf Gale ‘Minton, in a surprisingly im- maculate state. One of ,the few people to look even semi-decent in a Bryn Mawr tank suit, Gale was also chicly accoutred in a pocket comb and a cigarette. The high point of her speech was the auction of her bicycle, which she refused to sell to her sister but finally got rid of for thirteen dollars. On: the way, however; she managed to slip in enough disrespectful references ito Freshman Comp to keep the audience satisfied, and furnished a useful topic sentence for future essayists: “Last summer several friends of mine and I went on a picnic...” From there, she claim- ed, politics, religion, sex, anything could be worked in. A politics major, Gale explained the two kinds-of. courses. offered by-her-de- partment: theory and practice, and “The higher level—the third floor of Taylor.” Offering a few ex- planations of the presence of the Library Dog, Gale suggested a man with an autogyro and retreat- ed, with some difficulty, into her trunk once more. | * Kathy Geib. dunking her head rhythmically and abstractedly into an-enormous bucket of suds on an upper window sill of Dalton wel- comed the audience that persisted in the round instead of waiting un- der the Library tree for the last speech.

Thomas Prize Geraldine Warburg won the an- nual M. Carey Thomas Essay prize, awarded to a senior for the’ best creative or critical work sub- mitted for the contest. Gerry’s paper was a critical essay entitled “Charles Lamb and Sir Thomas Browne,” and was chosen as the best entry by unanimous decision of the three English Department judges, Professors Linn, Meigs, and Stapleton.

Slade and the alumnae, the Drive has not only reached its two million dollar goal but topped it by more than $200,000. Top honors _for her intelligent and ener- getic leadership go to Mrs. Slade, who has now raised over ‘six million dollars in all for the college, in four different drives; without her, this present success would have been im- possible. ie The whole college must be aware of the effort the entire Bryn Mawr alumnae group has made to reach the quota set in 1946. They have themselves contributed over three- fourths of all the money raised, and they have further given freely of their time in organizing theatre benefits, fashion shows, auctions, and all the many local projects which assur- ed the success of the Drive. This interest is not merely a per- iodic phenomenon, of course: the continuing creative support the alumnae have always given has developed Bryn Mawr’s uniquely national, even international, character. Now that the Drive is over, undergraduates who have felt harassed by its importunities may turn to reflect on its immediate, practical significance for Bryn Mawr. Faculty salaries have already been raised; the Rufus Jones Chair has been filled and the curriculum correspondingly expanded; the Theresa Helburn Chair is nearing completion. We are deep- ly grateful to those whose energy and perseverance have op- ened new fields and offered us new opportunities. "4.9 The one hundred and one seniors who just received their A.B. degrees will leave behind them an assorted number of _things for—us.to-remember. They..need..never.-worry--about-|— being forgotten—certainly not for the next three years, while this year’s undergraduates are still at Bryn Mawr. As we all become the old-timers, we will undoubtedly reminisce nostalgically about the figures in the niche, and the gigantic red dachshund that adorned the library on Class Day. Creative art seems to have been the forte of ’49. It was ‘their class that produced the Octangle, and made the ar- ~rangements for its continuation. “They also started the tra- dition of the Sophomore Carnival, which has flourished ever since, in spite of invariable adverse weather conditions. ’49’s biggest contribution to the College was undoubted- dy their tireless work on the Alumnae Drive. On this score they deserve endless thanks. The Drive ends this year, with the goal far surpassed, and '49 has earned much appre- ciation for their efforts. In everything from dogs to dollars, initiative has been their major trait, and achievement has} ary ‘marked their endeavors.

Among the books displayed are a collection of first editions by Henry James, contributed by Mary Miller Buckminster, and two vol- umes of La Sainte Bible, heav- ily bound in richly embossed leather, given by Mrs. Ethel J. E. Hadas. Howard Lv Goodhart do- nated from his private collection two inctinabula of medieval manu- scripts, and two of several Japan- ese books given by Miss Anne Vau- clain are exhibited. Several French books were con- tributed by Miss Margaret Gilman, and ‘Mary Winsor donated a leath- er-bound edition of the works of ten by authors closely connected with the college are Swans and Amber, a free translation of Greek “Among” the ‘books writ-| lyric poetry by Dorothy Burr Thompson, an alumnae; The Boy Jesus and His Companions, by Rufus M.

One of the most interesting of the contributions to the Rare Book Room is a minute volume of Cicero’s works, scarcely more than three inches high: De Officiis, De Senectute, and De Amicitia, given by Mrs. Henry Bonnell. An edition of Goethe was donated to the li- brary by Fraulein Friede Horst- hemke, “in gratitude for a pair of shoes given her by a Bryn Mawr alumna.” Also in the exhibit are Volume I of a set of Mrs. Humphrey Ward, given by Mrs. John J.

Class Day Speeches Reveal Inner Meaning Of Selfus Governum, Bryn Mawr Chastity Continued from Page 1 which has caused many a mama to raise her eyebrow—and the re- sponsibilities attached to the post of vestal virgin. She referred in awed accents to the high priestess of Selfus Governum, and the initia- tory fire of chastity which is known euphemistically to the ad- ministration as Parade Night. Translating the words to the soph- omore lantern night hymn as meaning: “Make us look twenty- one,” she fell back into her bucket of suds to avoid the malignant ten- dencies of Friday the thirteenth. At the Gym, Jane Ellis, looking more buxom than usual, proceeded to classify Bryn Mawr products, not by their minds as Life has al- ready done, but by their Bodies. Jane distinguished four categories: the nobody, the somebody, the all- body, and the sublimated body. The nobody, a synonym for the Bryn Mawr Intellectual Body, is shape- less and flabby, with remarkable hip development, and is to be found in the library; “she will always be an asset in her local library.” The somebody has “muscles where they count’’—ade- quately illustrated by Jane who had reached the gym-tunic stage in her progressive strip-tease from gown to leotard—the somebody, she declared, is destined to end up, on the Planned Parenthood Board of her community. “The all-body, on the other hand, is more adapt- able: she loves both Ford’s and the Rumpus Room, she takes arch- ery to develop herself where it does the most good, and she is always “handy around the home.” The sublimated body is the soul of Bryn Mawr—she loves art and clinging leotards; she is also a SALE!

At the Library, the last and most amusing stop, after the Good- bye Song had made the rounds of the faculty, Margo Vorys discussed the serious problem facing every modern Bryn Mawr undergradu- ate: whether to be co-ed or sterile. Men or Professors—Which? cried Margo—Haverford was defined as }a species of its own, created by God, not out of dust, but out of the flower-bed. Professors can give us satisfaction, but they never let us at them. Immediate remedies: do away with that silly old five dol- lar fine, and review the curricu- lum.

Mr. Maas is bursting with help- ful advice to those as yet uniniti- ated into New York night life. He reveals to the out-of-towmer ail the artful tricks and dodges of maitres d’hotel and waiters in the various night clubs, warning that “many gilded. saloons have assum- ed the status of private clubs ‘and the welcome mat is rarely set out for strangers.” Music, the theater, the dance, art, sports, hobbies, transportation, and shopping are only a few of the topics on which Mr. Maas prof- fers suggestions. He takes the shopping question lightly, for as he says, “some character has fig- ured out that New York has a store for every 66 inhabitants, so the problem of taking something nice and unusual to the folks back home is a cinch—that is, unless you’re shopping for a live giant panda or a wallaby.”” The author even suggests where the latter purchases might be made. ‘While enlightening the prospec- tive theater goer on how to get tickets, ‘Mr. Maas advises him not to use inside pull; even “if you shorts, Mr. Goodale must be made to take out a different freshman every night to relieve the tension in chorus, and women are to be un- conditionally abolished from the faculty. Liberal education, with professors, not co-education with men, must be the happy theme- song of the future. cram Pause That Refreshes Is Part of the Party Plus 1¢ State Tax Ask for it either way ... both trade-marks mean the same thing.

They, unlike ‘some of the other best things in life, are really free.” Of real value to all who may visit New York, and indeed to all New Yorkers also, is a chart which explains how to determine the street location of numbers on the avenues. —Mr. Maas’ explanation of the mysteries of New York sub- ways is likewise excellent, and his description’ of the geographical layout of Manhattan Island is as illuminating to native islanders as to visitors. 1899 Congregates For 50th Reunion The 50-year Class, the class of 1899, held its reunion at Rhoads North during the weekend of May 28 to 31. Forty-six members of the orig- / inal sixty-nine took their A.B.s at Bryn Mawr. Of this number, ap- proximately twenty-five alumnae from all over the United States re- turned this weekend. Among the outstanding members of this 50-year class is Cora Hardy Jarrett, author of The Ginko Tree and The Silver String. Mrs. Jar- ret is currently working on an- other novel. One physician, a few Ph.D.s, and several M.A.s are included among 1899’s alumnae. Other graduates are occupied in teaching, writing, politics and public speaking, lec- turing.and—-book-reviewing;--and- the class was well represented by a large share of former suffrage workers, members of the League of Women Voters, Garden Club Presidents, and American Red Cross Volunteers. Miss McBride entertained the class at a luncheon at her home on Sat- urday, May 28; and that evening the 50th Reunion Dinner was held at the home of Miss Gertrude Ely. With other reunion classes, '99 attended a picnic in the Deanery Garden on Sunday afternoon. © 1949, The Coca-Cola Company ial ~«‘DANCE PARADES”’ by these bands HARRY, JAMES LES BROWN BENNY GOODMAN FRANKIE CARLE GENE KRUPA WOODY HERMAN XAVIER CUGAT.

They are dressed up and their hair has just been combed out. “T don’t think so,” you say, look- ing at the toe of your loafer. “Come on, you don’t finish exams every day of your life.” “No,” you say with spirit as the truth is that you just do not feel like jaunting off. “No, it doesn’t happen every day but it happens eight times in four years and that’s plenty.” So off they go jaunting and there you are. There you are indeed. The boxes are too high in your room to go there and there is pressure in the hall. “Oh misery, I sent my trunk without locking it.’ “I haven’t time to pay my Inn bill.” “Where is some rope?” Soon they will be wanting you-and you, as one~-who ~has~four™days” left, will have to spend the hou” in tying knots and returning books. So out you go, out the window. Head toward the Library. That is safe. Everyone who goes to the Library has Business. You walk leisurely and the chorus of those pressed for time fades from your ears. Two Seniors pass you in their sawed-off jeans and some sort of ancient crew cap. Four days and they will be gone too:—no more jeans, no more crew caps. At Grips with Life. You will be At Grips also. But it will only be for four months. You are brave in your security but in your mind you cower against the grey walls, ‘watching Seniors, adult, poised, troop out to conquer. Amazing that in the hollowness of the empty Library a handful of people can sustain the atmosphere that five hundred people created a week ago. The ten who study for Theory and Practice or for Latia 301 give full illustration of the desperation, the doggedness, the desire for one cigarette that one might suppose only a full Reading Room could give. You gather the books you have left there and skip out. They are an ungainly bunch. No one will ask you to tie up boxes when you are carrying these. Again you think of summer. Why can’t you go and live in a house by the sea with a large porch and hammocks and huge chairs, do nothing but swim and play tennis? It is this being At Grips, this grappling that we will have to do after college that will make us turn sour. ‘When you think of all the things that must be done, next winter seems like one last holiday and maybe when we are seventy we will go to the house by the sea. But it’s not that bad. You go back to the hall amd fill your pen with coffee and smoke two ¢igar- ettes at once, always keeping that ungainly pile beside you so that those pressed for time will think you are Organizing. You think of the lovely things that are beyond the campus. Yes, afterall, you are glad vacation is coming but— but—it is not unpleasant to know that you are coming back. the results of their try-outs for next year’s group. The mem- bers will be Anne Newbold, ’50, Trudy Donath, ’51, Pam Field, ’b1, Eleanor Gunderson, ’61, Alice Hendrick, ’51, Susan Sav- age, ’51l, Clare Minton, ’62, and ‘(Caroline Price, ’52.
