(The following article, which he entitles
Concerning Celibate Education, is by Mr.
John Palmer Gavit, of the New York
Evening Post, who is visiting Bryn Mawr
in connection with his series of articles on
American colleges. )
Bryn Mawr is the eighth great American
college that I have visited in a search for
the answer to a vitally important question:
Why do Americans get so little out of
education? 1 shall not attempt now to give
the answer that is formulating in my mind;
but it seems worth while to tell Bryn Mawr
of one fundamental aspect of the matter
which has presented itself at each of the
eight colleges—here neither more nor less
than
more nor less than in the schools below.
At every college the professors have said
elsewhere; in the colleges neither
to me, in one way or another substantially
this:
“A sadly large proportion of American
boys and girls come to college not only
what we call back-
without the elementary ca-
pacity to make the most of what the college
has to offer. They do not -see what they
look at; they have not learned to think
about what they see; they do not know
how to describe what they have seen or
without ‘home
ground,’ but
may
| express such thoughts as they may have.
They do not know how to apply them-
selves to any task—they scatter their en-
ergies in trivial ways and cannot resist the
slightest distraction. They have little gen-
eral information, and as little intellectual
curiosity to lead them to get it. It is diffi-
cult to supply these deficiencies in persons
of college age. We do the

The Freshman skit was erudite. ‘1923,”
lead by A. Keiswetter, as Senior President,
bemoaned the loss of the tin-foil fleece of
dignity in truly classic style. Supported
by a chorus of graces “with well-developed

even more fascinating wooden tails of the
centaurs until, having withstood Scylla,
Charyhdis, and two proctors, they found
their lost again. Among all the
dangers and pitfalls which they endured,

PRESIDENT PARK TELLS COUNCIL
HONOR AWARD PLANS
Point System Also Discussed
Comprehensive examinations and the point
system were the chief matters discussed at
the College Council last Wednesday eve-
ning in Pen-y-Groes.
President Park explained the present
situation as regards introducing some plan
of comprehensive examinations at Bryn
Mawr. At faculty meetings last year. twe
plans were brought forward: the first, that
honors on the basis of special post major
work, reports, etc., in addition to a good
general average, be awarded to exceptional
students in particular departments; the see-
ond, which would reach a far greater class
of students, would be that at the end of
the senior year each student would take
a general covering outside
reading done in connection with her group
subjects. The faculty this year voted to
set up some sort of special honors based
on the plans outlined above and the work-
ing out of the matter was turned over t
examination
the curriculum committee, who will proba-*
bly bring it forward later this year. Presi-
dent Park then outlined the plan which has
been adopted at Radcliffe this vear. Sup-
plementary reading and work ‘s done under
the direction of special advisers, and at
the end of the senior year the only ex-
aminations are on this work. Such a sys-
tem of advisers would involve too much
additional expense at Bryn Mawr, however.
It was suggested that the point system
be revised to provide for a more equal dis-
tribution of work and that a distinction
be made between temporary and permanent
offices.. A criticism passed on the system
was that it has the defects of any arbitrary
system in not making allowance for the
exceptional student and, on the other hand,
sanctioning many who should not hold any
office at all.

CULTURAL GROUPS
Divisions of subjects into Major groups
rather artificial, yet they must
have an immense though hidden signifi-
cance that cannot easily be grasped. Other-
wise we could hardly explain why adding
one more group, that of History and En-
glish, has been talked about so long with-
out any apparent result. The group would
undoubtedly be classified as “cultural,” a
word full of vague terrors from the aca-
demic standpoint. It seems to imply con-
tentment, indolence, wandering through

A QUEEN’S PRESENTS
If only life were as uncomplicated today
as it was in the time of Queen Elizabeth!
Then the Christmas gift question was ad-
for the custom prevailed
of giving associated with the
giver’s profession. Thus there is a record
that one Christmas the queen received a
quince pie from her sergeant of pastry, a
box of lozenges from her apothecary, and
from her doctor a pot of orange blossoms
and a pot of ginger. in 1560,
her silk woman presented her with a pair
of silk stockings which are said to have
been the first ever worn in England. Now
the matter is not so simple. We, mere
modern “students,” wonder what would be
the ‘appropriate expression for us.

Moreover,
THE MORE LOVELY TALENT
A college is, to all of us*in our more
serious moments, the agent, inclement, but
not perfectly rigid, from which it is pos-
sible to wheedle a diploma, a manuscript
to be timidly proffered to our respective
employers as sure proof that we are fit
recruits for telephone girls, scrub-women,
ete. . All our efforts are concentrated in
getting into college, and once in we turn
and twist and writhe about in a hopeless
endeavor to get out. Intelligence is indeed
a marvelous thing to have, but to the eye
of an observer there are other things more
provocative of devotion and awe. To have
one’s talent run to chemistry is surely a
cause to preen and strut about, but oh, how
gratifying to vie with our oldest elders
and put the shade of Garrick to the blush!
SHOPPERS SATURDAY
“Reports” over, the cry goes up, “What
next?” One need not look far for an
ynswer, it can be seen staring shamelessly
rough red advertisements, it intrudes it-
self still less unabashed in sale announce-
ments of “Christmas presents from five
cents up.” But these signs give.no hint
of .the real underlying problem, the prob-
lem of how to-seize a sufficient number of
articles off counters during three short
hours one Saturday morning. Friday and
Thursday afternoon seem out of the ques-
tion for most undergraduates, and so it is
tobe feared they will be forced to join
the: legendary shopper, who,
“Shopped, and shopped, and shopped,
And round, and round, and round, and

OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES
As has been dauntlessly pointed out once
before this year, the Freshmen are quite
as able to exercise their intelligence as are
the rest of the College. They have come,
not to drink of the Pierian stream, but as
steady tributaries to swell its might, though
when assured of this intention, the College
was at first pardonably skeptical. It is not
