UNDERGRADUATE CURRICULUM COMMITTEE ‘SUBMITS REPORT

OF GENERAL STUDENT OPINION ON EXISTING SYSTEM

Two Years Work in Department Chosen as Major Supplemented by
Twenty Hours of Correlated Subjects'and Tested by Final Compre-
hensive Examination to Replace Present Group System

The Undergraduate Curriculum Commit-
tee, in drawing up its. suggestions for. re-
visions in. the present curriculum, has tried
to embody—in so far as seemed possible—
the opinion of the -majority-of-students.—It
was impossible~to include all suggestions
given to the committee, but an effort was
made to find the general trend of student
opinion, and to direct proposed changes
along those lines.

First, it is felt that the present group
system is unsatisfactory in that there ap-
pears to be no thoroughly consistent prin-
ciple on which it is possible to base groups;
and in that existing system of Majors gives
the student knowledge, not of a msihiiorl
not of a method, but rather of course!
which are divided into
and which lack the continuity and correla-
fion that more advanced work should de-
mand of its students.

Secondly, it is felt that required. work
should be cut to a minimum. Knowledge
in certain subjects should be demanded of

everyone, but the present number of hours
devoted-to_required_courses is too great.

Thirdly, there is’ a desire for greater
elasticity in the existing schedule, and in
the arrangement of hours for individuals’
work. Too often is a student forced, be-
cause of some mechanical. reason, away
from the subjects in which she: is inter-

ested; into a course used to fill in.

Comprghensive to Test Major Work v

A: Since-the-present-group.system doesnot
seem to satisfy the aim of major work,
that is; the mastery, within certain lim-
its, of some field of knowledge, giving
the student habits of reflection and in-
dependent thinking, we suggest the fol-
lowing plan as a possible remedy :

1. A choice of one Major (covering
twenty (20) hours’ or two (2) years’

8 work in one subject) with which is
to be correlated a minimum. of
twenty (20) hours’ work in subjects
advised by, the head of the depart-
ment in which the student has elected

-her major_work.. The advice of the

semester pieces, |



head of -the department should: take
into account the student’s individual
ability and interests’ as they bear on
her elected Major. The first year of
the Mapor. work (corresponding to
the present Minor) shdtuld be covered
more by the lecture system than the
last, which should be spent in individ-
ual and independent work with group
discussions ‘taking the place’6f more
fermal class-room work. In this last
year should come,.the organization
of material in pfeparation for the
final comprehensive examination to

“be given at the completion of the

#4 oenior year, and covering the field
of the student’s Major and correlated
work.. This examination should be
set by a committee formed from the
different departments, and should be
the only examination taken by the
student at the end of her Senior
year.

If a student should so plan her
work as.to be taking uncorrelated
elective courses ‘in her ~Senior year,
she should not be required to take a
final examination in those elective
subjects.

1. The committee feels that Compre-
hensives for all students are more
‘advisable tha na system of honors
because Comprehensives would ini-
tiate for the college a new system of
sttidy, which would necessitate from
al students learning of a subject rath-_
er than. of courses; whereas an-hon-
ors system would touch only a mi-
nority of students, and leave . the
bulk of the college. unfamiliar with
this synthesizing type of work which
is now. felt to be lacking. There
would still he ample opportunity for

the exceptional person to excel. The
The poorer student would gain
much under this system, through

@ reports and work during the semes-
ter; and even though she fell down
somewhat in the Comprehensive, she

FRESHMAN SHOW TAKES

By Limiting Scope Comes Near
Perfection—Color ' Scheme
Skillful and Delicate :





WIGGIN T. HAS PURE CHARM.



(Specially contributed by D. Meserve, ’23)

Freshman are quite the most
transient affairs in. the world. “One is
created, for a short night we-see the-color
of it and hear the music and then it van-
ishes forever, like a city in the clouds which
the wind blows away.: We may search the
theatres of Europe and Asia, but it is prac-
tically certain that we will never come

shows

across that particular Freshman show
again. This is the very law of Freshman

shows, a gracious law in general, but last
Saturday most unkind.

The Class of 1926 has given us some-
thing which in its finish and charm came
delightfully near perfection. They did not
attempt to do too much, or to do what they
did’ do, for too long a time, which was
wise in them. The moment the curtains
parted on that scene in the Café des En-
fants, fulfilling the promise but lately made
in the curtain-song—“‘We Will Bririg You
New France,” the note of the show was
struck. -It ‘was one of skill and delicacy
and a happy art which does not overdo.

To be more concrete in this deserved ©
praise, the first thing which was evident
was the clever scenery. So well done as
to appear simple. Simultaneous with an
appreciation of the setting came an intense
pleasure at the color scheme, which was
rendered possible by the master hand, prob-
ably hands, who conceived of and grouped
the costimes. If the show had néver at-
tempted anything more ‘than the. first sixty
seconds, and if those actors and the ones
who were. to come had done no more than
wander dumb across the stage for the re-
mainder of the evening, the pageantry of
it would still have been sufficient charm.

Exgellent Dancing, interspersed

The action began, and it was soon as-
gured that there was n@ plot, but then, there
never is. The jokes ‘were intensely local
and the real humor lay, not in such per-
petrations as “My picture is called the soul

MISS FRIJLINCK’S BOOK FAVORABLY
REVIEWED



Dutch Graduate Student Edits Old
Manuscript



8.4
- Wilhemina P. Frijlinck, the Dutch grad-
uate. student who is studying here under
Dr. Chew and Dr. Brown, has edited from
the manuscript and written an introduction
and notes to the Tragedy of Sir John van
Olden. Barnavelt; an anonymous Eliza-

bethan play which has been judged. by :

students both here and abroad as a work
of great scholarship and distinction.

Various papers have reviewed Miss Frij-
linck’s work favorably.

The Literary Supplement of the London
said in a
review of Miss Frijlinck’s work that it is
.“an exhaustive study of the play, sources,
authorship, characters, “tnd- place—in—dra-
matic history and all else that anyone could
possibly want’ to know.” It further says
that Miss Frijlinck had “special advantages

for the study of. the documents of this] .

episode of Danish history, and_.a-good
equipment of knowledge of our Elizabethan
drama.”

“It is appropriate that we should have

to thank a Dutch student for a detailed
and trustworthy edition,” says the Spec:
tator of January 6, 1923.
editor’s greatest services,” adds the Spec-
tator, “that she has deciphered for us the
numerous passages of the play which were
altered or. obliterated at the command of
the Master of Revels.”
. The Literary Review of the New York
Evening Post for February 24, 1923, says
that Miss Frijlinck’s “knowledge of Dutch
sources has enabled her to identify the
‘materials employed by the author, and het
protracted study at the British Museum has
resulted in what will doubtless long be ac-
cepted as the most authoritative statement
of ‘the circumstances of the play’s pro-
duction and the scene-by-scene partition of
its authorship.”

Dr. Chew, of Bryn Mawr, in the March
issue of Modern Language. Notes, writes.
“Miss Frijlinck’s study -of- the aesthetic
value of the play and of its historical value
are exhaustive and admirable. It is in the
latter section that she most shows the ad-
vantage that she possesses of being a Dutch
woman. The whole subject is more clearly
before her mind than would be possible in
the. case of a foreigner and she. is better
able to judge the achievements of the Eng-

- lish drama.” .
“Her. notes are sisters: aoa and

reticent—occasionally perhaps, too reticent
_”

A new horior has come to Miss Frij-]°

linck’s book. ‘$he English Association of
which Edmond Gosse is president, has
“asked Miss Frijlinck to send them a copy
* of her book, that they may review it in

the book they are shortly to bring out:,

“Year's Work in English Studies 1922-23. Ad
. Before she undertook this enormous task
which won her fier doctor’s degree, Miss

_ Frijlinck did her preliminary study in the

universities _ of Amsterdam, Zurich, and

_- Heidelberg. In London she did the actual]



work from the sia “origicnh sapnuecrint inthe

should’ be given her degree: provided
her, other work has been average.
4That is, the granting of a degree
should not hinge entirely upon the
passing of the Comprehensive, but
other work should also be taken into
account. , The granting of the de-
gree with honor, .etc., however,
should depend on the ability shown
in the Comprehensive. As for the
fact that the Comprehensive Examin-
ation may be a mechanical vise
_ super-imposed upon a system already

too mechanical, the committee~feels-}

that the type o fwork that will be
necessary to pass such an examina-
tion will tend to do ‘away with’ the
mechanigs of quizzes and finals; and
since, after all,
requires a knowledge of a subject
rather than of a course, it is valuable
~~ and should be:tried.

Work to Be Changed

A. We. suggest the following required sub-
jects: .

‘1- Two (2)-years of English—20 hours.

1. One (1) year of Science, except for

. 9 those majoring in Science—10 hour®

given in Minor—10 hours.

4. One (1) year of Philosophy and
Psychology—10 ‘hours.

This would make a total of fifty
(50) hours of required. work.._Were
it possible to condense material. given
in required courses into fewer hour
requirements, thereby xgiving more
hours ‘out. of- thé total_one hundred
and twenty (120) free for Electives,
Majors, and Correlating Subjects,
the’ committee would urge it. In
In suggesting the required work the

“committeeis guided by the opinion
that there are certain subjects about
which every college graduate, regard-
less of her Mapor work, should have
at least’a cursory knowledge. This
required work. should be completed
preferably by the end of Sophomore
year, and necessarily by the end of
Junior. This extra year should be
given to.those who wish to plan their

® courses so as to be able to do post-
major work, which, in many cases
in the existing arrangement, cannot
be taken until the completion of the
Major. There should be absolutely
no required work done in the Senior
year.

B. We suggest the following changes in
the reguired work as now given: ~
1.\ English.

(a) General Considerations.

(i) The present system of al-
ternating semesters of Compo-
sition and Literature seems to
us to be the best plan; for a
combination of the two, into a
a three hour and a two hour

course, would mean, it seemed]

to the committee, a diffusion of
attention which would result in
the loss of the best that is
now gained from the courses as
they are separated.

(it) There is in college a
wide difference of opinion as to
the two year ‘requirement. in
English. Some feel, particularly
those majoring in science, that
a two year course is tog much,
and they want but one year of:

required English. The commit-'

tee feels that the value of the
English course lies, on the one

hand, in its first-hand acquaint-
ance with English literature,’
which we, as English-speaking’
people, should have as a back-.

ground, and, o nthe other hand,

“in its giving the ability to or-|
ganize. material and to appreci- .

ate good _ writing. “Training in
this cannot be too thorough, and

therefore we suggest . keeping
the two-year requirement with

* the following changes:

Literature Course.. We suggest:

(1) -A change of emphasis in

. , the material given, spending less

# time on the literature up to

Chaucer, and ‘less time on
Shakespeare, especially on the
plays made familiar at school.
In this way it would be pos-
sible to bring the course up to
ffirly modern authors and
works, :
(ii) Doing away with the
many weekly quizzes, and sub-
stituting for them more reports,
chosen by the student from
topics suggested by the reading.
(iii) Reducing the number of
lectures to three hours 4 week.
If there are but three hours
of lecture a week, one of the
two free -hours would be de-
_.yoted ot ‘small, group discus-
sions with the professor. _
(iv)—An— advanced standing
examination should be offered
in the literature course for
those who,. by virtue of good
school training or wide experi-
ence, would be able to pass it.
The examination in this case
should ,be inclusive of all the
reading, -and- the candidate
should be required to sign a
reading list.

(b) Composition Course. We suggest:

(1). Doing away with the final
examination and requiring in-
stead another long paper. We
feel that a final long paper, in
which the principles of writing
gained from the course are
demonstrated, would show bet-
ter than, a hastily written ex-
amination what a student has
gained from the cotrse. “We
We feel that here is one in-
stance-.in which we .may_bene-
ficially do away with the me-
chanics of an examination.

(d) Diction. We suggest a change
in the organization of the Dic-
tion ‘course, now on too indefin-
able a basis, so that it may be
put on a par with other subjects
required for a degree. We
suggest :

(i) A general lecture in the
beginning, explaining the princi-
ples and use of “Exercises in
Articulation.” :

(ii) Smaller and more regu-%
lar classes where there would
be more individual attention,
‘and where the element of prac-
tice would show more clearly,
so_ that there would be a more
tangible basis for marking.

(b)

??

. 2. Seinence.

(a). We suggest that those students
majoring in. Science be allowed
to substitute for the required
Science five (5) hours of post®
major work in their Science.
We also suggest that those stu-
dents majoring in a_ science
other than that on which. they
entered, be required to take five
hours of post-major work in
that major science.

History to Supplant Latin

3..History. This cottrse should consist |

of the present Minor History survey

course.

- (a) We wish History, required “
cause:

-(4) Minor History covers
‘material which is of the utmost
value as a background for all
other studies, arid which should |

as the dance of the flower-girls. and their
‘| dapper grey-suited swains, excellent toe
dancing by Laura Laidlaw, and the enchant-
ing tango danced by Martha Talcott as the
Café Chanteuse and the artist Lesage, Anne
Kiesewetter, who made the most intriguing
of Rudolph Valentinos. Both dancers were
exceptionally graceful and moved as one
person through the difficult steps, meriting
the loud applause and their encore. Helen
Brown, as Fifi Fauxpas, was entirely cap-.
tivating, to the audience and to one Wiggin
T. Quingue, the part taken by. Winnifred
Dodd. Wiggin was perhaps the most lova-
ble character in the whole cast, and pos-
sessed of “the greatest amount of that in-
definable and overworked quality, ‘pure
charm. From the moment when he sat at
the table in his light blue smock and’ began

to you,” to Marietta Bilter’s delightful ac-
companiment on the harp, the-spell was cast. °

The “light blue smock”—on that hangs a
tale. Perhaps we are too much bound by
the precedent of symbolization, but could
there be a hidden meaning in the preser-
vation of 1924 in a scarlet gown, and 1925:
in the above light blue smock? Or is it the
mere whim of the designer which aflows
of no such flagrant error as the meaningful
distribution of color?

Vers Libre Poet and Rosie Praised

Barbara Sindall as the Vers Libre poet
who “knew a lot about the art of attracting
women,” was convincing’ in her animated
composition of lines like “my soul turns to
wall paper and dances like moth-eaten
whiskey bottles,” and in her tender praise
of Fifi, “my goldfish is a lot like you,”
the three bookmen were exceptionally good.
In horror we heed their warning to “look
at us three and do not be, a dusty, musty,
‘greasy grind.” “Rosie the concierge, with
her energy, knitted socks grumbling like

genuine French, was a truly ss esscyer spot

OUR CURRICULUM

-“As we-read the Curriculum Committee’s
report we understand why it took two-hour
sessions daily for a month to draw it up.
Every paragraph shows the long thought
and argument that went into it. It is im-
portant not only .to understand this, but
to remember it, for only by taking the
committee’s deliberations into account can
there be profit in further criticism:

The further critics will be divided into
two camps,—those who regard the whole
plan as too radical and too indefinite, and
those who accept the theory of the change,
objecting only to details of its working out.
It is upon the first group that the success
of the proposal largely depends, because if
very many students cling. to an inflexible
schedule, compartmented courses, and regu-
lar quizzes as their only hope of security,
they will prevent an unmechanized systein
from working. They will lack the essential
We will hope
earnestly that most will belong to the other
school, however, and that their criticisms,
offered in—-the—spiritof the report, will
make it as nearly representative and as
nearly. workable as possible.

Silence, in this case, is a very poor sort
of assent, being too ominously like indif-
ference. But vocal fulminations drift into
air. Written support and written criticism
will make or mar the chances of the cur-

oJ

riculum report. ‘



“HAMLET, REMEMBER ME”

Bates House has two immediate needs.
The first, on- which our attention has re-
cently focussed, is a thousand dollars ; the

second is the need for workers, for Bryn}

Mawr students who are willing to devote
a part of the summer vacation to the care
of the children themselves. The thousand
dollars has been secured, but it will be
useless unless students volunteer to carry
out the work. Thé younger children need
careful attention, the older ones careful
supervision. The undergraduates who de-
cided to work at Bates can sign, on a
chart which will be posted “after Easter
‘vacation, | the time: ‘at which they want to}
g0, and they can arrange it so that they
will be able to: work with children at the
age which they prefer.
plans are discussed, it might be well to
save a. fortnight, or a " week, or even a

s , mole of days, ‘for Bates. ” a

SUBLIMATED SELF INTEREST. |S.
HIGHEST HUMAN MOTIVE



Dr. Fitch Preaches Before Large
* Audience on Purpose in Life



The necessity of an end in life was the
subject of the sermon. preached by Dr.
Albert Parker’Fitch, of Amherst College,

to a large congregation in our Chapel last]:
‘Sunday night.

-We no longer think of evil’ as dan active
opposing force, as did the Manichaeans and.
St. Augustine, said Dr. Fitch,—a force such
as the Satan of “Paradise Lost” or of the
Prologue to the Book of Job. The evil
of today is generally covered with schti-
mentality by girls, with sophistry, by boys.
The sneer of Satan about Job, a half truth,
as all sneers that hurt’ must be, includes

the accusations of abuse of power and of:
’ self-interest.

Abuse -of power is often
shown by college students, coming ostensi-
bly to improve their minds, reglly their
social positions. Self interest is the funda-
mental motive power of everyone, but
sometimes. itis sublime,-as it-was in .the
case of Scott, in whom, the “gentleman sur-
and who wrote -novel
after novel to pay debts he was not legally
obliged to pay. At this kind of self-interest
no one sneers,

“One great thifg that drives folk into re-
ligion is that there they get a comprehensive
end towards which to live.
English youth, brought up in the frame-
work of ideas called British Imperial'sm,
to live for the country, is in contrast to
Americans, who have no end*at al. But
the end of all lives in the world is living
towards the Eternal Self. “Here is the

finds the best. in oneself when living
towards this end. The companionship which
this brings is incomparable, even beyond
that of the consummate human relation,
that of husband and wife.

Any kind of partnership, however, ‘con-

tinued. Dr. Fitch, brings power. On camp-
ing trips. the presence of others doing the
same things causes an unbelievable amount
of work to be done; conscientious objectors
who had to “go against the current” were
enabled to do so by: the help of others like
them, but still more by the companionship
of God, while they were, to the eternal
shame of our country, thrust into prison.
The three men in the Old Testament story
who, refusing to worship the King’s golden
god, were saved from the fiery furnace by
“one like. a son of the gods,” showed the
multiplication of power through association
hoth. of themselves and their God. v2

Happiness is also an immediate result
of an end in life. As Dr. Fitch poirits out,
the Catholic nuns in the convent where he
spent the summer, were genuinely happy.
They were not self-conscious, as are all
American women and men. They were
happy because they had an end, a chosen
way of life, and companionship. Serving
