THe COLLEGE NEWS VOL. XLII, NO. 24 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 1946 Copyright Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, 1945 PRICE 10 CENTS Rationing Asked By 203 Students Signing Petition Committee Will Send Message to Truman, Bowles, Anderson Two-hundred and three students signed the petition which was cir- culated inthe halls Tuesday, urg- ing adoption of food rationing, the Alliance reports. The petition will be sent to President Truman, Mr. Bowles and Mr. Anderson. The Committee for Relief for Europe is communicating its ac- tions to the other colleges which signified their interest in the Com- mittee’s program, explained in a previous letter. Many of these col- leges have started similar groups “of their own, and contact is being extended through them to other colleges. The Committee reports that many. other colleges have initiated conservation measures in college dining rooms, as well as working through their communities in pub- licizing the conservation drive. The-recent Seven College Con- ference endorsed the food program, as did the March meeting of the U.S.S.A., which adopted a three- point program similar to that pro- posed by thee Bryn Mawr Commit- tee of rationing, direct allocation to UNRRA and the appointment of a Food Coordinator. Harvard reports that its. initial contribution of $1000 to buy food to be sent directly to European students is being followed up by $600 weekly, collected through the American Veterans Committee or- ganization there. Details are still being worked on, and as yet no European distribution agency has been lined up. Maids’, Porters’ Musical Show To Feature Explosive Mystery by Katrina “Wiere the Tigris follows the fair Euphrates” a talent scout from Hollywood seeks a movie queen, and is going to recognize her by an amulet . So goes- the story of the Maids’ and Porters’ operetta. A lady consul does not help matters much, nor does Hen- rietta Whipstitch who sings of ler “false Romeo (who) broke me ‘up when he threw me down.” She later finds her unfaithful Henry, ‘nearly knocking him down in her excitement. An Englishman is Leibniz Meeting Discusses Space, Political Heritage Scholars in the immediate vicin- ity and various professor and stu- dents of Bryn Mawr attended the tri-centennial celebration of Leib- niz’ birth held at the Deanery, Sat- urday, May 11. W. H. Sheldon, Professor Emer- itus of Yale University spoke on “Teibniz’s Message to Us” and Le- roy Loemker of Emery University discussed Leibniz’s Theory of Judgment. “Leibniz and the Art of Inventing Algorisms” was the pa- per read by Paul Schrecker of the New School of Social Research. Prof. F. S. C. Northrop of Yale University explained Leibniz’s Theory of Space. The. speakers emphasized the great influence of Leibniz on Am- erican political life stating that Thomas Jefferson had _ probably based his theory of political equal- ity on those of Leibniz. Prof. Schrecker dealt with Leibniz’s idea of a universal language and a calculating machine. Ivy-clad Gym Inspires Schumann To Compose Medieval Fantasies By Helen Mr. Schumann first got the idea for his medieval dance plays one sunny afternoon. when he was walking down Merion green. Look- ing through the trees, what should he see before him but the rising towers and ivy trailing battle- ments of the gym, rising up before his eyes in a most medieval man- ner (despite a pile of hockey sticks outside the door). He then wrote the score for “The Sleeping Beau- ty”, with the picture of the gym in his mind’s eye as the castle. Fol- lowing “The Sleeping Beauty” came three more, one a year, one for each class. Each of the dance plays. is a full-fledged opera with the substi- tution of dancing for singing as an interpretation, of his music. They are written in orchestral form which has been adapted to the piano. The fact that the music is intended for a full orchestra makes his piano rendition very vivid and exotic, because he has to use every effect he can achieve’ to approx- imate other musical instruments. In the third act of “Cinderella,” which is to be given this weekend _by Miss Petts and her dancing classes, the three wicked sisters try on the glass slipper, according to the story. Mr, Schumann renphife een s“with a sardonic chuckle tha story of woods and forest Apirits, “he indulges -in the most painful |: dissonances” when the slipper does not fit. Each of the three sisters has her own theme, which is pre- sented in the beginning of the first é Hale °49 act. These themes are elaborated to indicate their varied charac- iters. contains ‘Cinderella’s theme and its development in her attitude to- wards the hard working laborers. These laborers struggle out of the castle (gym) door suffering under their burdens in a most realistic manner. The rest of the story antolds as the dancers play the parts of peasants, townfolk, and royal cor- tege out in front of the castle. The costumes (those that we have seen as we hung precariously out of the Merion dining room win- dow) are charming diaphanous af- fairs in pale pastel colors. The lighting ought to be exotic and exciting judging from the compli- cated switchboard. nailed to a nearby maple ‘tree. There are certain similarities in each of the four dance plays. Mr. ‘Schumann has included in each an animal dance. There have been spiders, birds, and bears. This time the has written a “mouse dance” (the mice that turn into the coachmen, remember?). And in each he has covered a different kind of environment. The “Sleep- ing Beauty” is the story of court ‘e: “The iGold Spinners” is the “Roderigo” ‘was about the sorrows: of a village, and “Cinderella” con- tains all the gaiety and color of the peasants and townfolk. The second part of this act} Thomas ’49 involved and a bomb explodes. In-’ dian: maidens squirm through a Valse Bagdad. The whole thing seems to hinge somehow on an assassin, though he never seems to appear on stage, and a camera. “S-pit your words out,” yells Co-director Ann Chase ’48 from the back of Goodhart, and then rushes up to take the part of an absentee. “Now, look as though you have just seen a huge choco- late cake . .. oh, all right; a ham- burger then.” Ada Klein ’48 of- fers expert advice from her ex- perience on the last year’s Fresh- man show and trots around the stage placing characters here and there. Jean Broadfoot tirelessly pounds the piano, accompanying the caliph in “I’ll marry a girl, a Persian pearl, in Mes-o-po-ta- mi-a.” Two very attractive profession- al actors from “The Old Vic,” who arrived with Miss Ely, offered helpful suggestions from their acting experience. “Get her to open her mouth wide—like Mar- tha Raye” suggested Sir Richard Vernon from “Henry the IV Part I.” The other actor who played only three parts in last Friday night’s performance ‘of ‘Part. I,” the porter, Davy and Lord Mow- bray, when asked what he thought of the rehearsal said, “Well, isn’t it just like them all?” The two Englishmen also have parts in “The Critic’ and help make up the chorus of Theban elders in “Oedipus.” The mystery of the camera and the assassin will be successfully unravelled on (‘Saturday night to an audience which will be as: en- thusiastic as that at “The Old Vic.” Foreign Students Lecture to Scouts “Do people get engaged in Puerto Rico like they do in the 1 United States?” “Do Roumanian girls have dates?” “Is Latin spok- en in Greece?” These are just a few of the wide variety of ques- tions that a number of foreign- born Bryn Mawr graduates and undergraduate students have been called on to answer by the fascin- ated young ladies of a Girl Scout Troop in Wynnewood. : Continued on Page 2 Hans Schumann Will Leave B. M. Hans Schumann, musical direct- or for the dancing classes at Bryn Mawr for fifteen ears, will leave the college next. year. ‘He plans to finish his grand opera, “A Com- edy in Music.” ) This opera is ‘a rhemorial in mu- sic to Colonial Philadelphia. The libretto, in English, is written by Frances Lynd, Bryn Mawr 43. The aim of “A Comedy in Music” is to stress the musicality of the English language by fitting the word to the music. Mr. Schumann composed a cycle of dance plays, one of which is presented at Bryn Mawr every spring. The fantasies, “Sleeping Beauty,” “Cindereja,’”.. “Raoderigo, ” _|and “The Gold Spinner,” are to be ‘published in. both- England and America in the fear future. “Cin- derella” is: to be presented on the campus Thursday and Friday of this week. N ewly Amended Alliance Articles Passed by Halls As a result of the hall meetings held by the Bryn Mawr Alliance for Political’ Affairs, last Wednes- day and Thursday, three constitu- tional provisions concerning the procedure for electing secretaries and committee chairmen have been changed, each now providing elec- tion by the board. Specifically, Article II, Section B, now reads, “two secretaries will be elected by the board;’ Article II, Section E4 now reads, “the chairman of the International Re- lations Club will be elected by the board;” and Article II, Section E5 now reads, “the chairman of the Industrial Group will be elected by the board.” The amended articles originally provided that the two secretaries would be appointed by the presi- dent, and that the out-going chair- men of the International Relations Club and the Industrial Group would appoint their successors. R: Bone, Williams Outline and Define Socialist Program Common Roon, May 14. The pro- gram of the Socialist Party for alleviating lack of economic demo- cracy, and the difference between Socialism, Communism, and Lib- eralism, were outlined by Mr. Robert Bone and Mr. Oliver Williams, both connected with the Socialist Party in Philadelphia. This was the final lecture in the series of discussions by Mr. Bone on Socialism. “State Control is not the aim of the Socialist Party’, said Mr. Bone in explaining social ownership’s ultimate goal; a fusion of the Co- operative movement and Trade Unionism. The pattern for this fus- ion is to make politics more demo- cratic, and “to organize producers and consumers on a more demo- cratic basis”. He proposed a Three way board of Directors for all large industries consisting of pro- ducers, ¢ consumers and government. He pointed~out that in this way the interests of all people will be represented, and added “the coop- erative movement represents op- portunity for: more and more peo- ple to participate in their own ec- onomic life.” Meyer Suggests Federal System For World Gov't U.S. Called Responsible For the Relegation Of Military Control Goodhart, May 9% “Limited federal. world govern- ment, with the power to make laws and apply them,” is absolute- ly essential to future world peace, declared Mr. Cord Meyer, Jr. in the 10th current affairs assembly ‘lon “World War III or World Gov- ernment.” ' “Diplomacy is merely potential war,” said Mr. Meyer, “a competi- tive race for all the elements of armed power.” The present world, Mr. Meyer believes, is rapidly arm- ing itself for the third world war with such super-destructive wea- pons as atomic bombs, which the United States is now producing, rocket ‘bomps, and bacteriological warfare. These weapons are so advantageous to the attacker that the only effective defense is pre- ventive war. Laying responsibility for initi- ating world governmnent to the United States, Mr. Meyer assert- ed that we alone, as possessors of the largest concentration of power today, can gain acceptance of the idea. We must give up our. policy of seeking “peace through power” large enough to retaliate even in the event of an atomic attack, and relegate the control of military force to a supernational authority. Though world government is inev- itable “in the long run, he explain- ed, we can today choose between voluntary establishment now and later imposition by a supreme armed power. Mr. Meyer denied the aiactive ness of the “collective security” of the United Nations, since it re- quires defensive war to stop ag- gressive war, thereby punishing those not responsible for the — crime. A world government, on the other hand, would make laws, control armaments and_ enforce disarmament on separate nations, and provide compulsory court jur- isdiction. Democratic operation would be through a legislative as- sembly with representation pro- portional to numbers, — industrial power and literacy. Volunteers Selling Food Coupons Meet Odd Question at Bonwit’s by Katrina “Could you please tell me where the better lingerie are?” asked a persohable young lady. “No, I’m sorry, we aren’t the information booth. We are just selling food stamps. Wo-won’t you buy one, it ifaw. “Oh... Bot jut now, thank you.” The Bryn Mawr volunteers sat behind a counter in Bonwit Teller from 1:15 till 5 on Monday the first day of the selling of food coupons for relief. The money is to be used to buy foods that are high in cal- oric -value and vitamins and to sentgita>-7~241.to.. the. starving in Europe. ‘ Business was slow, mostly due to the inconspicuous spot where the coupons were being sold, but with the addition of a painted sign ex- plaining what was going on, Thomas ’49 picked up a little. A blouse decorated with multi- colored hearts and “I Love You” scrawled fancily across drew the attention of Bonwit Teller buyers. Ingeniously, the certificate sellers clipped’ a food coupon to its front hoping to attract attention to it. . Shoppers fumbled with their glass- es, read the inscription, wondered whether the blouse would go free with a book of certificates and passed up both offers. By the end of the first day, the volunteers were exhausted from sittin Is... watchin bil delphian shoppers and trying to: answer their innumerable ques- ' tions. In between-times of func- tioning as’ an information booth, the volunteers managed to sell it. $33.75 worth of certificates. : aw Es bo THE COLLEGE NEWS | - THE COLLEGE NEWS (Founded in 1914) Published weekly during the College Year (except during Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter holidays, and during examination weeks) in the interest of Bryn M:wr College at the Ardmore Printing Company, Ardmore, Pa., and Bryn Mawr College.

Food Conservation Reviewed This seems an appropriate time to survey all that has been done both at Bryn Mawr, in Washington, and in the country as a whole to alleviate, in the words of Secretary Anderson, “the worst critical period of the famine in lands overseas.’ The petition circulated i in the halls yesterday supporting rationing and any other compulsory measures: which the sit- uation requires will, we hope, be seconded by individuals and groups throughout the country. The reported rise in public support of rationing is a good sign that Americans do feel a sense of responsibility in a world situation demanding, above all, the leadership of the United States. The present tendency among officials in Washington to speak of “averting” famine ,the “possibility” of mass-star- vation in Europe, seems to us typical American wishful thinking; the famine and mass-starvation are already there. It is also unfortunate that those officials who do recognize that the crisis is a matter of immediate concern frequently refuse to take a long view of the situation, preferring to let future incumbents cope with next year’s problem. It should -be perfectly evident that refusal to take more than mere temporary measures now will mean far more drastic action later. In the meantime it is encouraging to note the spread of voluntary measures. The Philadelphia Food Drive, be- ginning, this week, is a hopeful indication of what can be done through the individual community. The willingness of Bryn Mawr students to join in that effort by selling food coupons for the drive is indeed very commendable. Let us hope that Bryn Mawr will carry, its interest over into the signing out program, the reports of which have so far been very discouraging; action is as necessary as words to make conservation effective. Other colleges have also begun developing their own adaptations of the Bryn Mawr program, aided by the infor- mation of the Committee for Relief for Europe. Harvard’s plan for sending food directly to the students of European universities suffering from the famine is an excellent .pro- posal both in its first purpose of alleviating shortages and in the coincident value of building up inter-relations between all student groups in the world. Though the opportunities for concerted action at Bryn Mawr end in a few weeks, it is certainly to be hoped that in- dividual efforts. walkge-c?: ing-the summer, -boththre =" ‘logical organizations and letters to Congressmen. Publiciz- ing the need for definite action is still a big job in the food conservation program. “ many of Russia’s Current Events The Russian policy of hampering peace settlements to gain bargain- ing advantages is slowing up the whole process of negotiation in both major and minor points, de- clared Mrs. Manning in a discus- sion of the Paris Council of For- eign Ministers. Russian policy, she pointed out, is clearly expansionist, and would ||be antagonistic to any more solid world organization than the U.N. as tending to: preserve the status quo. Britain, on the other hand, is anxious to retain her present po- sition until she has re-established her economy. ° Mrs. Manning emphasized that exaggerated claims have been put in to gain ¥{an advantageous bargaining posi- tion as proved by their claim to trusteeshipgpver the Italian colon- ies. Russia’s interest in delaying peace settlements is partly explain- ed, Mrs. Manning feels, by her re- luctance to withdraw occupation troops from Europe, thereby dim- inishing her control there and’ in- creasing demobilization problems at home. The two proposals of Mr. Byrnes are signs of increasing American willingness to take leadership in the Conference, said Mrs. Manning. The Quadrilateral Treaty to dis- arm Germany and Japan was, how- ever, regarded as an expression of American eagerness to withdraw rapidly from European settlements. The proposal of a Peace Confer- ence attended by all thé U.N. coun- tries to settle points not agreed on at the present meeting was re- jected by Russia. The central problem at the con- ference has been the disposition of Trieste, complicated by its strate- gic significance as “the southern anchor of Winston Churchill’s iron curtain” and the natural outlet for Hungary and Austria. Students Give Talks At Scout Meetings Continued From. Page 1 (For sevéral months now, various foreign students have been asked to give talks before the ‘Wynne- wood Girl Scouts about their na- tive countries. The series was be- gun by Aida Gindy, a graduate student at Bryn Mawr and a native of Egypt. Being very much interested in all forms of social work, and hav- ing had charge of three groups of Girl Reserves in her native coun- try, Miss Gindy contacted local Scout leaders and was invited by them to give a talk to the girls about Egyptian life. Miss Gindy’s discussion and those that follow- ed it, were part of a course in in- ternational friendship sponsored by the Scout leaders. Continuance of Chapel Urged by Werner As Essential To the Editor: In. view of the editorial in last week’s News, I feel it would be valuable to clarify the position of the Chapel Committee in regards to the Sunday Evening Services. The problem of attendance has naturally been uppermost in our minds this year. It is obvious that the service as it now stands does not meet the needs of the majority of the campus; the work of the Committee has» been directed toward the investigation of this campus feeling. The Committee agrees most heartily with the Edi- torial Board of the News that the service should be undenomination- al; it also feels that there should be more religio-ethical lectures and increasing opportunity for discus- sion in groups. One of the main reasons for pla- cing the Chapel Committee under the Undergraduate Association was to insure the widening of its scope to include such lectures as those given recently by Father Coleman, Dr. Calhoun, etc. We feel these lectures and discussions to be. very important; the Sunday Evening Services, however, are usually fol- lowed by stimulating and all too sparsely attended discussions. It is the carefully studied opin- ion of the Chapel Committee that the lectures and discussions, while valuable in the intellectual ‘sense, have no spiritual significance and, therefore, in no way take the place of the Worship Service. We would be very interested in working with members of the Col- lege Community in compiling a form of worship which would have more substance and yet would re- main undenominational. The most important function of the Commit- tee is its representation . of the Campus Concern. Sincerely, Anne Werner Historical Sketches by Katrina Thomas ’49 The origin of Undergrad is shrouded~—in—mystery, although some claim that it was the second organization on campus. Absolute- ly no one knows the date of its beginning. A “Hand-Book” pub- lished in 1900 shows that there was the Undergraduate Association on campus at that time and that its aim was “to represent the students to the President and Faculty.” This idea is embodied in the present slogan, “coordination and represen- tation”, because now it also coor- dinates all activities on campus other than the political (Alliance), the social (League) and the dis- \ Continued on Page 4 Academic Freedom The intervention of government administrators who have taken over six Argentine universities is in direct oppo- sition to the ideals of a democratic way of life. The privilege of a professor to teach what he wishes in his own way is a fundamental part of general education in a free society. Government control of teaching in universities cannot be tol- erated without leading to dictatorship and a form of nation- alistic education against which the United Nations have fought. The resignation of professors and the active protests of students in Argentina against “the subordinating of teach- ing to a political ideology in the German or Italian manner” is representative of a group which is willing to fight for what it knows is right. As long as there are governments which will attempt education control, peace aims cannot be secure. | fhis-country has fought for and maintained the traditfOf"or) freedom in education.

Members Control Co-op, Socialism Differs : In Method To the Editor: I was interested in the account in the College News for May -1st,. 1946, of a talk by Mr. Robert Bone. who reportedly stated that the. Socialist Party intends to obtain its objectives through unions and the cooperative movement. As a it made clear, if this has not al- ready been done, that Socialism and ‘Cooperation, while they may have the same objective of bene- fit to the general public, neverthe- less employ diametrically opposite: methods.

M. Chorus With Vocal and Social Weekend by Barbara Bettman ’49 Singing with Princeton was an interesting experience. It was def- initely a vocal weekend, though for many of the girls it was quite social also, and for almost every- one it was very wet most of the time. The travel situation was most unusual and extremely involved. Two buses left Bryn Mawr (half an hour late) Saturday morning, followed by “the oral people” an hour later. After a “delicious” lunch of so- called chicken a la king (the king is dead, long live the king), the chorus rehearsed for four hours, spending most of the time making wrong entrances. Mr. Weinrich, di- rector of the Princeton chorus, does not believe in directing his choruses during a performance. At this point the chorus had supper with Princeton, though af- ter lunch many of the members chose to seek another—any other— place in which to dine. Some of the girls stayed at Princeton, hav- ing optimistically reserved. rooms in advance. Their optimism proved to be well-founded, as almost ev- eryone who stayed saw Princeton night life in some form. “Will too much beer hurt my voice?” seemed to be the universal question, though lack of sleep was a close second. It rained slightly (a euphemism) hampering activities, especially those of a couple who had gone canoeing. High spot of the concert Sun- day afternoon was Mr. Weinrich’s donning of his shoes, coyly hidden behind the organ. The mass was followed by what will probably be henceforth referred to as the Great Princeton Downpour—one way, at least, to get one’s money’s worth out of the academic gown.

Hardball, Bryn Mawr’s usual forte and the alleged despair of Drexel, was played during the first half of the game in which Drexel lead by seven runs; during the next half, playing softball, Bryn Mawr managed to catch up as the team scored four runs to their op- ponent’s five.

Bryn Mawrtyrs can observe the operation of a basic unit of con- sumer cooperation in the Main Line Cooperative in Bryn Mawr village. In a growing’ number of American colleges and universi- ties’ students are gaining knowl- edge of the movement on the one hand through the operation of co- operatives supplying their own consumption needs — books, sup- plies, dry-cleaning and other serv- ices, housing, réecreation—and on the other hand through the inclu- sion of the study of cooperative principles in the economics courses of the institution. In _the Philadelphia area co- operators are running a growing number of food stores, a funeral “co-op”, an optical “co-op” (1218 Chestnut Street) and a play “co- op”. At nearby Moorestown a housing cooperative is organized and ready to build as soon as ma- terials become available. Official spokesman for the Amer- ican Cooperative movement is the Cooperative League, U. S. A. with offices ,in Chicago, New York and Washington.

Others seem ordinary and trivial by comparison. So beautiful it seems sacred; 50 convincing and powerful, it washed the memory of all inferior books from my mind. Was never so fas- cinated by anything in my life. “Every. page sparkles with en- chantment. A cascade of wisdom and beauty, revealing so much in- formation of special value to girls. Like immortal music, it leaves you stunned by its indescribable glory.” ae Geraldine Saulpaugh, Valatie, Clothbound, beautifully illustra- ted $2.50 postpaid.

The oldest records of meetings are found in a musty little note- book called “President’s Book I” which dates from 1910. At that time the committees under the association were Music, founded in 1897 for arranging concerts at the college; the Rush-Night commit- tee which was abolished that year when Rush-Night was superseded by Parade Night; the Lost and Found; Conference Committee for intercourse ~between the students and alumnae, gg? Bulletin Board committee, one to take charge of the May Day .costume room, the Student’s Council and the Petitions committee. New organizations to come un- der the association between then and 1920 have been the Debating Society, the Student’s Building committee, Auditing committee, Trophy Club, Red Cross Commit- tee, and the Point committee—the first permanent Curriculum Com- mittee was established in 1923. In 1900 Undergrad made plans for the.first May Day, the purpose of which was to raise funds for the students’ building. Since then big and little May Days have been run by the association and their end was accomplished in 1928 when Goodhart was completed, but, at the wish of the students, May Day became traditional. The problem of “cuts” is nearly ‘as old as the college. Up till 1914 every unexcused cut was penalized by a reduction of grade. A battle ensued which awarded the students 8 unexcused cuts. Agitation con- tinued and in 1915 regulations for cutting were put into the hands of Undergrad. Excessive cutting was warned and the student put into the hands of the Senate. Since then a limit of 14 cuts, free cuts and finally “unlimited” cuts have been tried. Even in ’28 Bryn Mawr was still unique in having the regula- tion of cuts in the hands of the students. / A general lack of college spirit and low standards in academic \, Best represented at the faculty- student baseball game on Sunday was the Science department, boast- ing the talents of Mr. and’ Mrs. Gates, Mr. Berry-and-“Mr. Green. Each team was a heterogeneous mixture of faculty and _ students (were the faculty afraid of risk- ing the baseball title of last week?) and the equilibrium shifted early in the game in the direction of Jo Mott’s team, which soundly defeated Mr. Berry’s Eager Beav- ers 16-8, in spite of this captain’s “outstanding work on the mound.” A growing crowd actively watched the game, and systematically “rat- tled the pitchers,” Carol Seamans and Mr. Berry. Each team picked up players between innings, and a spectator was induced to take off his army tie, loosen his collar and serve as “ump.” The game’s most dramatic epi- sode occurred when Mr. Thon, af- ter hitting a dubious two-bagger, ‘dashed around the baselines, pick- ing up second base with one foot as he flew past. There followed a game of tag betwéen second and third; Mr. Thon rushed back to slide safely to second again. The work pervaded the campus in 1920. In turbulent mass meetings, the possibility of having classes on Saturday and quizzes on Monday was considered, in order to keep students on campus. The propo- sition was rejected because only one-fifth of the college took the appalling number of over four weekends a semester. The newest innovation for Un- dergrad was in 1948 when its first scholarship was awarded to a for- eign student.

This time he disarmed the opposition with an astonishing triple-roll and slide, and took advantage of their surprise to run safely home. He paid for his victory a few moments later, however, in a collision with an imported, immovable catcher, and Mr. Broughton arrived to take his place. Stars of the game were acclaimed Mr. and Mrs. Gates, who amassed several hits, and the game’s single official home run, Babe Ruth variety. Following the faculty game, Pem and Merion played their first inter-hall game. Fortified, and out- numbered, by their Wyndham co- horts, the Pem players gained a nine-point advantage over a stun- ned Ghoul team. Merion was. un- able to overcome the ead, and the .game ended, under threat of rain, with the score standing 16-6 in favor of Pem. (¢ ~ The Bryn Mawr Trust Co. Bryn Mawr, Pa.

Even the United Na- tions might look twice at a col-- lege graduate with secretarial training, especially in a foreign shorthand. All government agen- cies expect typing. A business course may serve as an entering wedge to radio, the movies, mus- eums and social science research. The moral of this is—take a course in the summer.
