Curric. Committee
Announces Result

Of Students’ Poll

The Undergraduate Curriculum
Committee has announced the re-
sults of its poll regarding the ad-
visability of having the period of
scheduled mid-semesters restored.
A total of 403 students answered,
twenty of whom were in favor of
having all scheduled, 261 in’ favor
of having none scheduled, and 118
in favor of having only No. 100
classes scheduled. Since the com-
mittee will only act if two-thirds
of the student body favors a
change in the existing system, it
will not petition the faculty gor a
change in the present procedure
of leaving the scheduling of mid-
semesters in the hands of the in-
dividual professors.

Answers to the Committee’s
question of orals were tabulated
only for the class of 1947, since
it seemed to apply particularly to
this group. Of the 67 seniors
who offered German for one of
their languages, 24 passed the oral
on the first attempt, 18 on the sec-
ond, 19 on the third, five on the
fourth and one on the fifth! Of
the 88 who’ took the French oral,
49 passed it the first time, 22 the
second, 13 the third, three the
fourth, and one the fifth. Span-
ish, offered by 22. seniois, was
passed by ten on the first attempt,
10 on the second and two\on the
third: |

Results of the question’ asking
where the language used to. pass
the orals' was acquired were -tab-
ulated only for the -two upper
classes. One hundred sixty-one out
of 228 learned their first language
prior to entering college} while 137
out of 206<learned their second at
Bryn Mawr,

Forty-two freshmen, 51 sopho-
mores, 39 juniors and 58 seniors
felt that the ability to read a for-
eign language was helpful to work
in their major field. The results
by classes of those who considered
a reading knowledge of a foreign
language part of a liberal educa-
tion were 10, 88, 81 and 84. Small-

‘er numbers considered such knowl-

edge helpful to work. in- other
courses and to their possible voca-
tions.

tion, which asked if students
thought that knowledge of * only

one language should be required

Dean Neppers
Talk Clarifies
Nenate Rulés

Further Consideration
Of Library Rules
Requested _

Goodhart, January\ 22« “This as-
sembly should be one of the time-
honored traditions of Bryn Mawr,”
said Miss Nepper in a college as-
sembly designed to emphasize and
clarify the rules of the Senate
with regard to integrity of work.
The dean pointed out the import-
ance of universal understanding
of the specific meanings of these
rules, to avoid confusion. Their
importance as basic principles of
Bryn Mawr makes it imperative
that no deviation be tolerated.
The first, most definite rule de-
mands complete integrity in exams
and quizzes. The second, less
specific, governs “integrity in oth-
er work” and its definition is de-
pendent to a large degree upon the
individual instructor. To clarify
this last rule, the Faculty have de-
cided to be especially specific in
stating the amount of collaboration
allowed in each course, particular-
ly in laboratories, baby languages,
and other beginning courses. If

‘the application of the rule has not

been defined, the student should
‘sk the instructor.

Miss Nepper also asked for in-
‘Negrity in the observance of li-
brary rules; she stated that the
library, which is run in the most
liberal way possbile, will have to
be run on the closed stack system
if the rules, particularly those con-
cerning the removal of books are
not observed more closely.

Integrity in Examinations and
Quizzes
I. No student shall give or re-
ceive anysassistance whatsoever in
an examination or written quiz or
hold any communication with an-
other student. %
II. In any examination or writ-
ten quiz there will be a proctor to
maintain orderly conduct and to
give any needed assistance.
proctor will remain in the room
as continuously as possible.
III. Students may leave the
room only with the proctor’s per-
mission and only with the under-
standing that Rule I must apply
during their absence. It is under-
stood that thé proctor ,may with-
hold permission.
IV. Students ‘are expected to
occupy alternate seats unless oth-
erwise specified. -

Incongruity of Name and Fact

With the announcement of a revision and clarification
of the Senate rules on integrity of work, it seems to us an
auspicious time to suggest that Bryn Mawr has an honor
system in fact but not in name. Moreover, we urge that a
change be made so that the name coincide with the fact. We
advocate that Bryn Mawr admit an honor system with re-
gard to the integrity of work without: Senate rules as such.

A statement of what is meant by integrity of work is in
fact- what on the whole the Senate rules are.
undesirable that they should be called or considered rules. It
is of far greater value to the student to be placed on her hon-

or to follow’a code of work with complete integrity than it!

‘Stanford U. to Give

is for her to be told to obey rules enforced by a senate. If
the Senate published a clear statement (rather than rules)
of the béhavior in academic work for which it considered a
Bryn Mawr student responsible, we maintain that a student
would accept that responsibility as her own.

The change from a system of senate rules to an honor
system seems to us of immense psychological value. The fact
that there are rules to obey which are enforced by external
authorities leads an individual to think, erroneously as it
may be, that if she disobeys a rule and “gets away with it,”
much of the responsibility lies with the authorities for not
apprehending her. “When she is responsible to herself, her
conscience, if she has one, cannot allow her any such excuse
if the integrity of work expected of her is clear.

ogee 5 those for whom this seems an idealistic approach,
we would say that we firmly believe that in the academic field
there is a high standard of integrity at Bryn Mawr. More-
over, we Would maintain that this academic integrity is hard-
ly, if ever, due to the consideration of obedience to Senate
rules or fear of being caught by authorities. There is, if any,
an inadequate police force to see that the rules are obeyed.
It is a sense of academic honor. The-comparatively few in-
_ dividuals who do not have thisgonse.can be checked no bet-
an,in a system which is -~ *~s%
ste n by name. We would lik to see more trust’in the aca-

“We are able to tell to some ex-|:

tent which way the-wind is blow-
ing as far as the Republicans in
Congress are concerned,” declared
Mrs. Manning, pointing out in
what she described as a spirit of
optimism’ unusual for herself, that
a great deal would probably be
done by Congress in the next two
years.

The Republicans, she pointed
out, recognize the need for going
ahead in order to be able to lay
their positive achievements before
the voters in 1948. There will, she
feels, be some labor’ legislation
enacted, though more moderate
than first reports seemed to indi-
cate, and the Republicans will be
forced, whatever their political
principles in the matter, to take
some action in the face of the
school and housing emergencies.

Mrs. Manning drew attention to
the encouraging signs that prices
are beginning to fall, and stressed
the relationship of this fact with
international trade. When Ameri-
can industry is faced with the

 

possibility of over-production as a
result of the beneficial .price shift ,
and the re-establishment of more

‘!normal conditions, it will see .the

necessity of maintaining access to
foreign markets. This should bring
pressure on the Republicans to
alter their traditional protection- ,
ist tariff policy, to work actively
for freer international: trade.

Mrs. Manning commended the
Congressional reorganization bill
passed by the-last Congress, and
felt. that the shift from leadership
of Congress by one individual, the
leader of the majority party, to
that of a group of prominent men.
She hopes this may lead to the
practice of a group of men in both
houses taking responsible leader-
ship of the legislative branch in
the future.

‘The one discouraging aspect in
the “State of the Nation,” Mrs.
Manning feels, is “the very un-
fortunate situation in the State of

 

Georgia.” Herman Talmadge, oso
said, would not have reversed his!
previous shock troop approach to;
announce that he would accept the
decision of the State Supreme

Court if he did not feel confident |

of gaining a favorable verdict.
The whole situation makes it ex-
tremely difficult for the United

Stage fellowships

The creation of six $1,500 fel-
lowships in theatrical work has
been announced by Stanford Uni-
versity. Four of the fellowships
are for actors, and two for tech-
nicians, costumers, or designers,
all. of whom must have had pro-
fessional or high caliber amateur’
experience.

The aim of the fellowships is to
provide able young actors and de-
sign-production technicians an op-
portunity to enlarge their talents
through graduate study and
through varied experience with the
Stanford Players. A fellows will be
able to pursue a course of study
toward a degree at Stanford, but
will be expected to spend the ma-
jor part of his time in the practice
of his art.

Applicants must have graduated
from a college or university prior
to January, 1945, except in- the

cant intends to continue his aca-
demic work during the time he

Cocteau Play Parodies
‘Romantic Melodrama
Mile. Bree Says |

To the Editor:

I was amused at the article in
last week’s News on “The Eagie
Has Two Heads,” and I have a
strong suspicion that Cocteau
himself would have enjoyed it
greatly. He announces: “A Ro-
mantic Melodrama.” And so it is.
A storm (of course); a castle (of
course); a queen (indispensable) ;
a poet (anyone would guess that).
And the villain? Ah yes, the vil-
lain, an arch-villain, an  arche-
duchesse. And that is all the fun.
The author does not miss a trick;
in fact he calls them—“what a fine
curtain scene!” says the Queen as
the intense hero-poet in a moment
of blacker revolt than usual rises,
dragging to the floor the table-
cloth, the wine, and all that goes
with them. The parody is com-
plete, and so impertinent! The
poison so carefully described as
the type of poison that acts slow-
ly and in a peculiar way, allowing
the character, up to the very last
moment, to get in all his speeches
in good order. “Well,” says the
Queen, “‘the second act was not so
bad, but wait till you see the
third”—or words to that effect.

No wonder Paris and London
were amused; and any theatre-
lover will be amused as he recog-
nizes, in. the gay caricature, the
face of an old friend, the romantic
melodrama; and he laughs at. the
impertinence of the author who is
quietly thumbing his nose at the
too, too earnest play-goer. The
play is well worth going to see for
the two hours of somewhat subtle
fun and humour we get out of it,
but it is scarcely worth a full and
serious column of the Bryn Mawr
College News. And as we leave
it we give-a thought to the future
author who a hundred years from
now will gently poke fun at our
own type of intense melodrama;
who knows, at our Anna Lucastas,
for example.

Hollywood Playgirl Inc.
Offers New Item
To BMC Queen

To the Editor:

We are the exclusive manufac-
turers and distributors of an en-
tirely new item of apparel for
girls and women. This item will
soon be launched on a nation-wide
career, backed up by conSiderable
advertising’ and publicity.

Our Board of Fashion Directors
has decided to present one of these
garments to the outstanding girl
at your university. This presen-
tation, naturally, will be without
any cost or obligation to either the
University or the young lady se-
lected. The gift is being made as
it is the opinion of the Board, that
since college girls set the fashions,
we should let them be the first to
receive them. We reiterate that
no obligation or responsibility will
be incurred by either you or the
girl.

Accordingly, we should like you
to forward to us the name and
address of “the most popular girl
on campus.” She may be your
“Homecoming Queen,” your
“Beauty Queen,” “Queen of our
Senior Dance,” or the girl selected
by any other campus poll of opin-
ion as a leader. If your Univer-
sity has no such polls, the name
and address of a girl generally
considered to be the most popular
on campus will be satisfactory.

Thanking you for your prompt
attention to this matter, and
awaiting your early reply, we are,

Yours very truly,
Hollywood Playgirl, Inc.

Editors’ Note: the College News
feels that this is too good an op-
portunity to be let pass. Since we
have, however, none of the queens
mentioned in paragraph three we

student body to fill the simple re-
quirement of “a girl generally con-
sidered to be the most popular on
campus.” The News is eager to
see this new article of clothing and
feels that the well-dressed college
girl will be equally eager. Hence,
suggestions.are in order.

~ Campus Drive For Bryn Mawr Fund Starts

 

 

F und Donations
Total $500,000
At Present Date

. The national contributions to the
Bryn Mawr College Fund 1946—
now total approximately $500,000.
Of this amount 89 per cent has
been given by Alumnae, 8 per cent
by other people connected with the
college (parents, grandparents,
and trustees), and the remaining
3 per cent by outside donors.

Gifts from foreign donors figure
in the above half-million dollars
already received by the Fund.
Among these foreign contributions
are three from England, three
from Hawaii, four from Canada,
two from India, one. from Italy,
and one from Puerto Rico.

Students Collect

$861.05 for Fund

With $7,500 set as their quota for
this year, the undergraduates have
raised only $861.05 to date. Of
this, individual contributions ac-
count for $345 and $516.05 has
come from various benefits.

Junior Show—$385.00.

Varsity Players’ “Skin of Our
Teeth” —$100.

Merion Concert—$17.05.

Undergraduate Assoc. Record
Concert—$6.00.

Apples Sold in Rhoads—$8.00.

College Bazaar

The Philadelphia Committee of
the Bryn Mawr College Fund for
gifts-in-kind is asking for contri-
butions from the undergraduate
body. At the Bryn Mawr Bazaar

_ on the eighth floor of Wanamakers

they will sell the articles which
students contribute or collect from
their families or friends and will
credit the undergraduates for
them. The gifts must, of course,
be suitable, emphasis being laid on
treasures rather than rummage

_ sale articles.

Contributions may be given to
the members of the Drive Commit-
tee in each hall or taken direct to
the Gifts-in-Kind office in the
Deanery. A

Some of the articles to be asked
for are books, china, glass, jew-
elry, musical instruments, paint-
ings, sporting equipment, textiles,
furniture, lace, linens, and metals.

For Fund—Drive
Fund to Bring About

Raise in Salaries

Of Faculty

Two million dollars has been set
as the quota for the Bryn Mawr
College Fund 1946—(“The Alum-
nae Drive”) for Faculty Salaries,
Scholarships, and Academic Proj-
ects. The quota is to be raised
over two years, the Committee
hoping to raise $1,000,000 this year
and the remainder next year,

Of this, $1,000,000 will be set
aside for endowment, $500,000 will
be spent over a period of ten to
fifteen years to aid faculty salar-

‘ies, $200,000 will be used for grad-

uate and undergraduate scholar-
ships, and the remaining $300,000
for special academic projects and
expenses.

The increase in faculty salaries
which the Fund will provide will
be the first since 1920, since rising
costs of operation in recent years
have prevented any such action on
the present income of the college.
At present, salaries vary from a
minimum of $1,800 for an instruc-
tor to a maximum of $5,200 for a
full professor, and it is hoped that
this can be increased 15 to 20 per
cent as a result of the Fund.

The college is also hoping to
raise additional funds for a new
building program. It is hoped to

-be able to complete the two wings

of Park Hall, to hose the depart-
ments of Biology, Physics, and
Mathematics. This would release
space in Dalton Hall to ease the.
overcrowding in class-
rooms and offices in Taylor and the
Library. Funds are also needed
for new language houses, to ex-
pand present facilities.

Money may be pledged, given as
cash, set up as a trust fund, or as
a legacy, or given as a stock cer-
tificate. It can also be given as
direct. endowment, i. e., $200,000
will endow a chair as a memorial
in any subject; the money being
paid that professor is entirely re-
leased and raises the whole teach-
ing scale. Five hundred thousand
dollars will endow a department,
$100,000 an assistantship or lec-
turer. Any sum from ten to fifty
thousand will support books, in-
struments, and working materials
for a department.

The students of Bryn Mawr as
their part in the Drive have set a
quota of $12,000 to be raised in
two years.

Alumnae, Students
Comprise Entire
Fund-Raising Org.

The money raising organization
of the Bryn Mawr College Fund
1946—is made up entirely of alum-
nae and students without the as-
sistance of any professional fund-
raising group. The National Head-
quarters is in the Deanery on cam-
pus, and the organization is head-
ed jointly by Mrs. F. Louis Slade,
National Chairman, and Mrs.
James Chadwick-Collins, Execu-
tive Director. Mrs. James A. Sut-
ton is the Assistant Executive Di-
rector.

Mrs. Slade, ex-’96, a vice-presi-
dent of the Board of Directors of
the College, has been chairman of
Bryn Mawr’s three other drives in
1920, 1925, and 1935. Mrs. Chad-
wick Collins, ’05, held the same po-
sition in the drives of ’25 and ’35
as she does in this one, and is the
Director in Residence at the Col-
lege. Mrs. Sutton, ’39, is Bryn
Mawr’s Assistant Director of Pub-
lic Relations.

The Fund office at the Deanery
is the center of co-ordination be-
tween the eight alumnae districts.
Conforming to the headquarters’
policy, each district with its Coun-
cillor and district..and local fund
chairmen, in contrast to the past
three drives, acts as a separate
unit and may organize differently
in forming its sub-committees for
benefits, entertainment, publicity,
alumnae gifts, outside gifts, lega-
cies, and gifts in kind.

Mrs. Slade Commends Students
For Assuming Quota In Drive

To the Students of Bryn Mawr College:

Bryn Mawr Alumnae in every part of our country, and
in far-flung corners of the world, are working as though
‘shoulder to shoulder to make secure the educational heritage
that is theirs, and of which they are justly proud.

Since the early days of the College the Alumnae have

 

steadfastly believed th

sound teaching is the essential of

sound edugation, and their pride has been above all in the

 

outstanding quality of

eir Faculty. To maintain this qual-

ity they have always een willing and eager to work, and to’

make the necessary Aacrifices.

Comm. Will Start
Campus Soliciting
Of Each Student

Soliciting among the undergrad-
uates will be carried out in the
halls by the members of the cen-
tral undergraduate drive commit-
tee. Each person is urged to give
what she can, realizing the impor-
tance of the drive; the amount
may be paid at once, put on payT®
day, or pledged.

Mrs. Sutton will speak in each
hall within the first-four days of
the opening of the drive:

Rhoads: after supper Monday.

Merion: 10:00 Monday.

Non-res.: 1:15 Tuesday.

Wyndham: before supper, Tues-
day.

Pembroke and East House: after
supper Tuesday.

Pembroke East: 10.00 Tuesday.

Rockefeller: after supper Thurs-

day.

 

 

20, °25, ’35 Drives Raised Funds
For Buildings and Scholarships

About every ten years the Bryn
Mawr alumnae under the leader-
ship of Mrs. Louis F. Slade launch
a drive for a millon or so dollars.
In. 1919 in answer to a plea from
acting-President Taft for a rise
in faculty salaries to compete with
the high cost of living, they launch-
ed the Two Million Dollar Cam-
paign Fund and topped the goal
with $2,191,346,56 despite the com-
ment of the dubious businessman
who said that “no college in the
world has ever attempted so gigan-
tic a feat as to get $2,000,000 from
2,000 alumnae.” The undergradu-
ates, having pledged $50,000 of
this were forced to enlist parental
aid to fill the quota.

In 1925 the alumnae, realizing
the great need of a student’s build-
ing and a music department, or-
ganized a drive for $650,000. Be-
ing of Quaker foundation, the col-
lege had not included music in the
curriculum, but now that it crept
in Bryn Mawr needed a larger place
than the rented wing of Wyndham
in which to hold classes. A New

York newspaper commented on the
limited seating capacity of the gym

1 menuse.of the new fire laws: “that

these ambitious girls want to‘ sit

| still; for instance they sat for two],
edge of their chairs

hours on
-Bach recital.”

 

The’ “ambitious” students this
time pledged $31,000, but did not
enlist the/aid of their parents and
filled the quota by selling sand-
wiches on Taylor steps, lotteries,
and a bicycle agency under Pem
Arch which made trips to the vil!
for the benefit of the drive contrib-
uted $18.20.

Today they know that the secur-
ity of the Faculty is threatened,
and that serious steps must be
taken to protect them from the
heavy pressures of mounting costs
due-to- postwar conditions.

It is vital that Faculty salaries
be increased, and increased with-
out delay, and this the Alumnae
have again set themselves to do.

In 1935, after a careful study
made by the President, the Dean
of the College, the Board of Di-
rectors, and the Alumnae,.a long

term plan was adopted and carried
out. This included the building of
Rhoads Hall, the Quita Woodward
Wing of the Library, and the Mar-
ion Edwards Park Science Build-
ing, and made possible an addition-
al one. hundred students, thereby
increasing the annual college
income, primarily intended for
salary advances. But even so the
inevitable expense of every day
living, as well as repair and main-
tenance, has gone up by leaps and
bounds and has made it impossible
for higher salaries to be included
in the regular college resources.

In what the Alumnae are doing
the greatest encouragement has
come from you. When you elect-
ed to assume a quota of this re-
sponsibility you gave them new
hope and new courage, and an as-
surance that could come from no
one else and from no other group.

You are the College of today and
you know its worth. When you
bring your support it is as though
you were laying a new corner
stone of confidence and determina-
tion. There can now be no failure,
for your pledge typifies what you
will mean to Bryn Mawr in the
years to come.

Many doors will open before you,
and you will be called upon to
meet many crises in this changing
world. And in all you dare and
do, Bryn Mawr and what she has
given you will have a part.

For you are the Alumnae of to-
morrow, and with the students who
come after you, you will build, on
the corner stone you are now lay-
ing, a Bryn Mawr as yet undream- .
ed of, a Bryn Mawr that will con- .
tinue to hold high its light of lead-
ership.

I know, I too was a student of
Bryn Mawr College.

Bryn Mawr College Fund 1946—

Every student here knows the necessity of the Bryn
Mawr College Fund 1946—. Weare by now well aware of the
drastic changes, lower teaching standards and the increased
tuition, which will occur if the money is not raised. We feel

that many students, although

could do would be of use.
Two million dollars must

interested in the drive, have

. wondered what they could do for it and how the little they

be iaingl if Bryn Mawr is

te remain the college every student wishes it to be. The sum
is a large one and large gifts will be necessary to raise it. We
can help in this by giving names of those who might be in-
terested in contributing to the Fund. But’ Bryn Mawr can-
not raise two million dollars by large gifts alone. The Fund
cannot succeed without them nor can it succeed without the
equally important contribtuions made by each student.

Our quota is comparatively small. It will, however, en-
tail effort for a small student body to fill it. Everyone will

have to give not merely what
than she thought she could.

she can, but a little bit more

We will not only be contributing $12,000 to the Fund,

but by the volunteer work

do for the drive and the proj-

ects we organize for additional money, by the enthusiasm
and effort which we will have to put into the raising of our
quota, we ‘will show our appreciation of the value of Bryn
Mawr and our conviction that it should and must be main-
tained. Such evidence of a sincere interest in the welfare

: of the College on the part of the students here now is the best | -
__.—_proof-of the importance of the Bryn Mawr College Fund 1946. |

Chase Letter Explains

’ Aims of Student
Drive
To the Students:

This ‘special issue of the News
and the week of February 10th
mark the beginning of what will,
I hope, be an increased awareness
and enthusiasm on the, part of
Bryn Mawr _ students toward the
Drive.

A quota of $12, 000 was set in
November by the Undergraduate
Committee for the Drive, to be
collected by June, 1948.- This has
been split into two separate parts:
$7,500 to be collected by this June
and the rest by next June. To fill
this quota, we are counting on in-
dividual contributions from the
students, and proceeds from the
concert and theater benefits given
on campus. The intensity of next
year’s drive as it will affect the
students will depend on what is
done this year. So far, only $861.05
has been collected this year to-
wards the student quota.

We ‘are now beginning a con-
certed attempt to collect this
year’s part of our-quota. During
the next semester, solicitors in the
halls will collect from each student
as much as she feels she can give.
We have decided not to ask for a
specific amount as a set contribu-
tion, but we hope that each stu-
dent will give as much as she can,
realizing the importance of the
Drive.

In this issue, there are sugges-
tions as to what else the students
can do in helping the'central Drive
office in the Deanery or by raising
money on their own.

It is possible and even probable
that we can more than fill the $12,-
000 quota, but it will take individ-
ual effort and a realization that
this part of the Drive is our re-
sponsibility. We must be aware of
this and ready to help in any way
we can.

Sincerely,
Ann Chase.

NOTICES

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
The Drive Office frequently is
in desperate need of -volunteer—aid.
This involves the mailing and dis-
tributing of drive publicity and in-
formation, the putting up of post-
ers, and perhaps a stint in the box
office on benefit performance
nights.

Please tell the members of the’

Publicity Committee what hours
you would be free and willing to
help ... Mrs. Sutton will be very
grateful.

ANOTHER WAY TO HELP

The National Committee wouid
like the names of any people, other
than alumnae and parents, whom
students think would be interested
in contributing to the drive. This
is one of the most important con-
tributions students can make.

Please give such names to the
members of the Publicity Commit-
tee, with all pertinent information;
full name and address, relation to
the student; whether student wish-
es or does not wish her name to
be mentioned. .

Central Committee

The diagram above dius
the organization of the committee
for the Undergraduate Drive for
the Bryn Mawr Fund 1946—.

Plans are co-ordinated in the
Deanery Drive Office by Mrs.
James A. Sutton and Ann Chase,
48, the Undergraduate Chairman
who was chosen by the National
Committee and the Undergraduate
Association, to whom she makes
weekly reports.

The Central Committee is re-
sponsible for the planning and co-
ordination of drive activities on
campus. This was chosen by the
Chairman and is composed of rep-
resentatives from each hall, -in-
cluding one graduate student. To-
gether with the Chairman, this
committee set the quota for the
Undergraduate Drive. It is re-
sponsible for \ the soliciting of
meney. Several additional solici-
tors have been named in order to
facilitate collection.

The Central Committee also
works with Henny Burch, ’48, who
is in charge of Concerts on Cam-
pus, by selling tickets for the vari-
ous functions. In addition, some
members help Judy Adams, 49,
Soliciting Chairman. A Publicity
committee works with Ann Orlov,
’47, and Joan Auerbach, ’47, Pub-
licity Chairmen. Amoret Bissell,
as Secretary, arranges and co-or-

for Fund Drive

we plunge blindly across Merion

and the $60,000 needed for furnish-
ing the entire building, the stud-
ents’ and Music wing was~raised
by the alumnae. $100,000 was set
aside for the Dickerman Chair of
Music which has been held ever
since by Mr. Alwynne._ .

In 1934, realizing that the 50th
anniversary of the college was
about to take place, the alumnae
again joined forces for a Million
Dollar drive for buildings. The
Politics, History of Art and Biol-
ogy departments all needed funds,
and so the Marion Edwards Park
Hall was built and Dalton remod-
eled. The Carnegie Corporation
of New York gave Bryn Mawr and

wrong direction. The eternal

search for food, or sleep, or, weli
as we have mentioned Freud, you
know what we mean. But now it
is raining and the bell is ringing
which means that there is a fire
drill and perhaps’ everything is
burning down and we will never
be able to find he, she, it. But it
is not rain, just showers and show-
ers of dollar signs. Some of them
are large and curly and red and
others are just S’s, some up-side
down and some side-ways. Of
course, now we know what it is
we are hunting for and never find- -
ing. Now the Library is covered
with S’s of all kinds. People are
hurrying to and fro and every one
has an S on his coat or his blue
jeans. The Chemists are all gath-
ered in a group under the tree the
class of 1916 (or was it 19177)
planted. They are catching them
to carry down to Park to put into
the new wing. Taylor is surround-
ed by familiar people all beginning
to make bundles of S’s. Of course
they are familiar, Readers, Lec-
turers, Associates, Assistants, Pro-
fessors are all co-operating in the
collection of S’s. We would like
to help but something drives us on
and we must keep on searching.
We retrace our steps hiding our
eyes from the glitter of S’s. All
at once the atmosphere changes
