DR. SAVAGE SPEAKS IN CHAPEL |



Tells How to Improve College Dramatics.

‘Dr. Savage > spoke © in Chapel on the

morning before the Thanksgiving recess:

about the Sophomore play, and suggested
two means of improving college dra-
matics. About the Sophomore play he
said, “This play, if indicative of the
standard of dramatics at Bryn Mawr Col-
lege, is worthy of sincere compliment
from every person who saw it”. He
mentioned the drawback of the tempor-
arily erected stage, on which workmen
were engaged during part of the rehear-
sals, and the technical difficulties of the
play itself, but said that in spite of these
troubles the play was a success and went
smoothly.

“It occurs to me”, said Dr. Savage,
“that there are certain ways in which
dramatics at Bryn Mawr could be im-
proved, keeping that spontaneity and
pleasure so necessary to amateur work.
The first of these ways is a somewhat
better systematization of rehearsals. Fu-
ture classes may well consider the early
making provision for rehearsals so that
the whole cast need not be kept waiting
two hours while only a few members are
rehearsing. In the second place it seems
to me possible to distribute to some de-
gree the measure of work which falls on
the individual players. The wonder to
me was, that in the midst of grilling re-
hearsals these students should be able
to do all the things necessary to assure
the success of an amateur performance”.

Cc. Pond Indiana State ‘Eugenics Worker.

Clara Pond, 1913, is employed as field |
worker in heredity and eugenics in the
northern Indiana hospifal at Logans-
port, Indiana. In order to secure this
position she tdok a six weeks’ training-
course given by Dr. Davenport at the
Marine Biological Laboratory at Cold
Spring Harbor, Long Island. During
the past year her work has been the
gathering of statistics concerning the
patients at this hospital for family his-
tory reports. She says, “During ten
months, in the case of every patient’s
family with whom the investigation has
started, the inevitableness of the inheri-
tance of mental peculiarities, as well of
those physical has manifested itself. In
nearly all the families, people have been
studied, who will presumably one day
be committed, if they live, to a hospital
for the insane”.

sists of lectures on the inheritance of

Trips are made to the reformatories for
boys and girls, and to other institutions

and lectures given by ane, on men-

About her life in the hospital Miss
Pond says: “Where I am I arrange my
work and hours to suit myself, entirely.
I visit patients in the wards when I wish,
and make field trips when and where I
think best, rendering an account of
travelling and hotel expenses, once a

month, for which I am reimbursed by |
