Page Five Four Fulbright Fellowship Winners Anticipate Graduate Study Abroad Three seniors in Rhoads Hall and one in Pembroke East have been given Fulbright fellowships for advanced study. abroad next year. Catherine Rodgers, an English major from Scarsdale, 'N. Y., will study English literature at St. Hilda’s College, Oxford. She hopes to concentrate on seventeenth cen- tury literature there, and then re- turn to the United States to do further graduate work. Ann Knudsen and Nancy Degen- hardt will, both be enrolled in the American School of Classical Stud- J. Catlin Awarded Wilson Fellowship ‘Judy Catlin, Radnor senior, will spend next year at Radcliffe on a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship. She will live in Cambridge and attend the Harvard Russian Institute. A graduate of Friends’ School in Washington, Judy attended Sweet Briar for a year, and then worked for the government for another year, before entering Bryn Mawr as a sophomore. Last. summer she studied at the Georgetown Foreign Service School. A Russian major, she will spend this summer at an as yet unidentified job, and in traveling to Boston to get accli- mated. Judy is not yet sure of exactly what curriculum she will pursue at Radcliffe. Fellowships are given with the stipulation that the win- ners will seriously consider enter- ing the teaching field while at graduate school. Besides teaching, Judy is interested in the fields of government service and writing, and sees the Russian major as one offering quite a few opportunities. ies in Athens. During their year’s study in archaeology, they will tour most of Greece: visiting vari- ous sites. Nancy, a Greek major from Montclair, N.J., hopes to use. that year to decide in which of he two fields, Greek and archaeolo she will do further work when’ she returns to the United States, Ann, who comes from Boston, is major- ing in archaeology at Bryn Mawr.

As a professor of a required course, Warner B. Berthoff said that he was forced to speak in de- fense of freshman English. It is by no means a remedial course; all college students need to know how to read, and to express ideas co- herently. If certain students were exempt from freshman English, as has been proposed, the/standard of the course would fall. 50 million times a day ~— at home, at work or while at play There’s nothing like. a 1.

The fundamental human_atti- tudes. towards history and how they change, particularly with re- spect to Greek history, is one of both in teaching and in her own re- chaeological work in- Greece and Turkey. From her archaeological work and the greater knowledge it gives her of Greece two thousand years ago, Miss Lang can convey something more of Greece than is given in the textbooks. The question, “what is good teaching?” was then brought up by Mrs. Manning for general dis- cussion among the panel and the parents. The first general state- ment given is that good teaching arouses enthusiasm for the sub- ject, which must be combined with clarity of thought which is imbed- ded in intellectual discipline. In answer to Miss Lang’s question, “ Are students good judges of teachers?”, it was the consensus of the people on the panel that they are not, Mrs. Manning added that the stu- dent was distressed to get two or three points of view and have to choose himself, Part of the job of teaching is to make students real- ize, exams notwithstanding, that there is no clear cut “yes” or “no” answer to every question. One of the teacher’s jobs is to make the difficulties in the subject evident. | the fields that interests Miss Lang search; she is-also busy with ar-' Friends Of Library Sponsor Penrose On Portuguese Renaissance Writers especially pe a Charlotte Busse, ’55 Boies Penrose, author of Trayel and Discovery in the Renaissarice, spoke on “Three Portuguese Ad- venturers of the Renaissance” at vue UWeanery on Thursday after- noon, April 14. The talk was spon- sored by the Friends of the Li-| © brary. Mr. Penrose, after pointing to In the more advanced of the two’ Portugala early lead during the Renaissance in the development of a colonial empire, full-rigged -ships and the best in travel literature, sketched in the lives of three dash- ing Kenaissance writers: Joao de Castro, Fernao Mendes Pinto and Luis de Camoens. De Castro was statesman and knight of the Renaissance whose escapades not only took him through numerous wars in India, but. included a daring voyage up the Red Sea into the inner sanc- tum of Moslem territory and a trip up Mount Sinai. Mae The second Portuguese, Fernao Mendes Pinto, is known as a fa- mous adventurer and ‘an unmiti- gated prevaricator. His autobiog- raphy combined in all imaginative sincerity everything he heard, read and saw during a career which be- gan with travels in Abyssinnia, in- cluded capture, sale and several escapes from Turkish slavery, and ended with settled life in Portugal where he told his tales to a fasci- nated audience that included King Philip of Spain. In his varied career he was re- sponsible for the opening of Indo- China to European trade, was shipwrecked after looting Chinese tombs, sent to work on the China Wall after arrest on:a vagrancy charge, served for a time as a Jes- uit novice, and is even said to have introduced the musket to Japan. Camoens, the most important lit- erary figure of the three, was ex- iled after a court romance, lost his right eye in military service in Africa, returned to Lisbon only to a Look for the Spalding “Tennis Twins” Wherever Top Tennis Is Played wear and better bounce qualities. _ Your dedler has them now.

The value of the scarf Seemed at its highest when it was being fought over, but quickly lost its “allure” when it was received as a present. “Theme and Variations,” describ- ed as “a dance based on. a main theme with individual variations and accompanying reactions”, with its percussion accompaniment and robot-like dancers, proved to be subtly and not so subtly comic. Alice Lattimore’s variation was a highlight, “Shatteréd Mirror” employed the mirror theme in which two separ- ate dancers perform the same movements but with opposite arms or legs. When the “mirror” was “shattered”, the two figures turn- ed to their own independent move- ments, but still conserved a corres- ponding “oppositeness”, in that they were always directly across from each other. In “Excavation of Troy”, Eliza- beth Klupt gave us her interpreta- tion of the Archibald MacLeish poem. Although her voice sound- ed a bit unnatural at first, it even- ed itself out later in the piece, which was an original and well ex- ecuted work. “Scenes from Childhood” captur- ed the mood it sought to catch, largely because of the enthusiasm with which it was danced. It prov- ed to be one of the most success- ful numbers on the program. The members of the Dance Club who participated in the concert were: Connie Brown, Dina Biker- man, Christine Cunill, Millicent Dudden, Wendy Kaplan, Elizabeth Klupt, Alice Lattimore, Leora Lu- ders, Anne Mazick, Violet Shaw, Mary Vorys, Lois Glantz, and Sara White. Gail Ames and Harriet Barsky were accompanists. EL GRECO RESTAURANT Bryn Mawr Confectionery Co.
