ENDOWMENT SOUGHT BY
MUSIC DEPARTMENT

Wing of Students Building to House
Department; Concerts to be
in Main Auditorium

$400,000 IS SUM NEEDED

—_
Concurrently with the wide-spread activ-

ity for the Students’ Building Fund,
through May Day, work has been going on
in behalf of the Endowment of the Music
Department.

At the end of April Mr. Alwyne went to
Chicago to help the Endowment Campaign.
He spoke at the Bryn Mawr luncheon, as
did also Mrs. Dickerman, the Chairman of
the Music Committee, and Miss
1923. Mr. Alwyne

also assisted Mrs. Dickerman ih interesting

Marion
Holt, of the class of

Chicago people here and there in the En-
dowment project.

On the third of May Mr. Surette and
Mr. Alwyne spoke for the Endowment at
the Bryn Mawr luncheon in the Univer-
sity Club, Boston, and on the next day Mr.

tivities and this wing, to be sound-proof,

would not only house it but would also:

render possible the extension of its present
influence. Then, too, it would certainly be
better for the appearance of. the campus
to have one large building, rather than two
or three smaller ones, which would be the
case if the Music Department had a build-
ing separate from the Students’ Building.

The other $100,000 would erect an Audi-
torium to form the central part of the Stu-
dents’ Building. Here could be given with
far greater convenience than we have now,
recitals and concerts as well as plays and
other entertainments. It is said in the de-
scription of the plans for the Music En-
dowment Fund that if the plans for the
Students’ Building and Auditorium include
a tower to contain modern stage machinery,
that President-Emeritus Thomas will give
a set of Carillon Bells in honor of Miss
Garrett. When the sum of $400,000, there-
fore, is finally consummated the Music De-
partment, which, though so young in the
history of the College has had so great
an influence, may become a corporate part
of the academic activities of Bryn Mawr
and have the same conveniences as other
departments.

President Park’s introduction to the May
Day program explains the aims of and
plans for the Music Department

“Musicians and musically minded laymen
have always sacrificed and toiled for the
art of their love, but only lately have per-
sons of general education in the community
realized the relation of music to their own
lives and to the common life, and spent
themselves to secure and make permanent
opportunities for hearing and for learning
to understand music. They are providing
the musician for the audience and the audi-
ence for the musician. The great increase
in local symphony orchestras, and in the
development and enriching of the music
settlements and music schools is a result
of their efforts. In the public and private
schools more music is actually taught to-
day and the instruction is directed from a
new angle. The ordinary child who a gen-
eration ago would have been regarded as

DARK BLUE DEFEATS
SENIORS IN CLOSE FIGHT

1926 Passes With Unerring
Accuracy



Playing a game characterized by long
passes and few fumbles, 1926 defeated 1924
in the first game of their basketball series
Tuesday afternoon, with the score of 29-21.

The final goal was ’24’s, following some
swift passing up the field from S. Leewitz,
24, to K. Elston, ’24, who dribbled the last
half of the field, throwing a clean basket.
The Sophomore guards successfully pre-
vented many repetitions of this play. G.
Leewitz, ’26, leaped high, catching the ball
in the air to give it to her infallible center,
who passed easily to the forwards.

1924 played with renewed vigor the sec-
ond half, but ’26’s guards kept the Senior
forwards from the basket. The ball went
swiftly up and down, ending usually in a
quick throw Leewitz = to- ‘S:

On Saturday and Monday the celebration
of May Day took place in spite of rather
adversé conditions.



Eight plays, the green

though on Monday the plays and dancing
were indoors and the pageant came at the

Then followed the Maypole float, covered
with flowers, which were the result of
weary months of work and pulled by the
two oxen which, rumor declares, have lost
a hundred pounds apiece because of justi-
fiable. worrying over the weather. A
Masonic looking band, gorgeous in purple
gowns, came blaring at their heels, while
the tiny sweeps followed the band, looking
like Birnam wood.:. Oberon drove his fairies
in a diminutive pony cart, and after him

with poppies larger than life and, to the
prejudiced eye, twice as effective. A clash
of color were the country dancers, and the
Masque of Flowers, followed by another
band. More morris men preceded the cast
of Saint George. The Mistress of the
Green was attended by ribbon dancers from
the Thorne School. Alexander and Cam-
baspe followed on a triumphal float. Then
came the last band of morris men, and the
Revesby Sword Play, accompanied by the
strains of a bag-pipe.

ended the procession.

After the line had danced and
walked its way, to much music by the
bands, through Pembroke Arch, around
Taylor, behind Radnor and up Senior Row,
all gathered on the Green and, before be-

“Sellenger’s Round.” All this while other

SHALL WE HAVE ANOTHER







MAY-DAY?
Even the rain which tried so hard to
make May-Day impossible could not

dampen our enthusiasm when the festival
took place. With the memory of the whole
glorious performance vivid in our minds
we feel that May-Day has been worth
every minute of time and every ounce of
energy we have given for its sake. Aside
from the thrill of those two days when we
carry ourselves and our audience back to
an age when people created their own
amusements—back to Elizabethan Eng-
land, we are gainers in countless ways.
Those who selected the casts and coached
the plays have had an enviable training in
the art of dramatics; those who acted have
learned the graceful use of their bodies
and an effective use of their voices; those
who danced upon the Green have had ex-
ercise and a deal of fun. The dutiful
persons who worked on costumes and
properties should be able to answer any
question of color, design, or execution.
The business committee has had valuable
experience in management and we have all
learned*to make paper flowers. May-Day’s
great gift to us as undergraduates, how-
ever, is the spirit of unity born of an en-
terprise to which each student must con-
tribute a part. Distinctions between the
members of the four classes vanish before
the wrath of a coach to whom priority of
age makes no difference, or before the
necessity of making a few more roses. In-
stead of having class plays, we have college
plays, and everyone gains thereby.

Now May-Day has another great asset—

one which is apt to come first in our
thoughts, but which, we believe, should
come last. And that is the question of

money. This year, with a Students’ Build-
ing and Music Department actually loom-
ing on the horizon, we were delighted to
see flow in the dollars which will make
them a consummation. But as more and
more emphasis is placed on the financial
side of May-Day, and this stress is laid
by means of widespread advertising and
carefully planned publicity, so, we think,
May-Day loses by becoming less of a pure
joy and more of a commercial proposition.
Sadly enough, the tendency is just this way.
For as we spend more time and money in
preparation for May Day we demand more
witnesses.

This cannot go on. That May-Day takes
time from other college activities, pre-
eminently studies, is undeniable, but what
of those are sacrificed at its altar seem
almost unimportant compared to the fact
that May-Day is coming to be viewed by
outsiders as a piece of clever advertising
and a money-raising campaign. If we are
to save the charming traditions which cre-
ated May-Day, which make it so delightful,
something must be done.

With the art of pageantry yearly grow-
ing more complicated, it becomes increas-
ingly difficult for us to create a May-Day
pageant and pay any attention to the other
sides of college life. The growth of May-
Day—and it grows as any successful thing
will grow—makes each of us more of a
cog in a machine, with less share in the
thing as a whole. Moreover it makes
May-Day less of student affair and more



the result of the work of other people in-
terested in the college.

We cannot give up May-Day altogether.
As we said at the beginning, it is far too
educational and stimulating as well as ar-
tistically beautiful, to cease to exist. But
we can modify May-Day in such a way
that the present objectionable features will
be removed. Surely, also, it is the present
student generation which must consider
such a possibility and make plans for the
guidance of the classes who are to come.

As our own contribution to such a plan
we would make the following suggestions
for a simplified May-Day. Give only two
or three plays, Robin Hood, of course, pos-
sibly also St. George-and the Midsummer
Night's Dream. By all means keep the
Green, nay, make it larger, with several
sets of country dancers and: morris-men.
The Green dancing could be worked in
with the athletic program as has been so
skilfully done this year and with fewer
plays there would be more opportunity for
dancing rehearsals in the gymnasium. Those
costumes which we now possess would be
almost sufficient and any deficiencies could
be readily supplied with the knowledge we
have gained this May-Day. Finally we
would have absolutely no advertising.
Tickets might be sold only by students and
faculty to those of their friends who would
care to come and would be just enough in
price to cover the expenses of production.
Any publicity which went out from college
—and it should be very littleh—would em-
phasize the fact that the festival was to
be a small affair. Probably one day would
suffice for its performance, and if it were
held Saturday of the first week in May,
which seems advisable, considering the
nearness of final examinations, there would
be the possibility of postponing it until the
following Saturday if the weather de-
manded.

Such are the outlines of one scheme for
simplifying May-Day. If such a plan could
be formulated, and there seems no reason
why it could not be done by those who
have taken an active part in this May-Day,
the present students could pass it down
to those of four years hence with the
weight of experience behind it. For what
we all desire, indeed, is to preserve the
freshness, the charm, the joyous spon-
taneity, as well as the traditional beauty
of our Bryn Mawr May-Day.



THE MORRIS MEN

No part of May Day was more unique,
and certainly none more enthusiastically
received than the dancing hy the three
sturdy sets of morris-men. So great was
our admiration for the vigor and accuracy
with which they performed the difficult
figures of the dances, that all of us were
ceized with a desire to at least attempt to
do likewise. We if it would he
possible to give morris-dancing as a regu-
lar form of exercise next winter? The
only disadvantage to such a plan, we think,

wonder



would be that water polo might suffer
from. the competition.
SHEEP

People in college, as in any community,
are prone to tremendous inertia. They are
unwilling to find out things for themselves,
to do something without being told. Their
solution is to set up leaders who have
executive ability and kind hearts, and then
follow them implicitly.

Deification of a personality is bad enough;
yet even worse is the tendency to inherit,
a complete set of attitudes
toward life, religion and the person next
door. By the unvarying rule of under-
graduate generalities, the world resolves
itself easily into things to be approved or
to be disapproved, according to supposedly
infallible standards. We would as soon
think of questioning our opinions as of
weighing the butter marked “one pound”
which the grocer sells us. And as for
changing one’s opinions—that savours of
heresy and weak-mindedness.

Not that violent individualism can be
preferred. Individualism would be as dam-
aging to a modern community as strict ap-
plication of the doctrines of Christ. But
it seems stich a tremendous pity that at
college, where freedom of thought, where

to absorb



intellectual curiosity are not only possible,
but respectable, they are so rarely seen. In
the words of Vachel Lindsay, the tragedy
is “not that they die, but that they die like
sheep.”



BRYN MAWR ABROAD

There are moments now when it seems
almost as if Bryn Mawr were blithely plan-
ning to transplant itself to foreign soil, so
many of us have plans for summer travel.
The relative beauties of Rome, Venice,
Paris, and London are discussed eagerly
and at all times while the ever faithful
Baedeker is already consulted in anticipa-
tion. And why are so many of us devoting
four long months in going rather hurriedly
from one point to another? The answer
is—nearly every time we go in quest of the
picturesque and the romantic. The majesty
of the Alps, the inexplicable charm of a
sleepy southern village, or the lure of dis-
tant castle towers outlined against the sky
stir us with delight undreamed of. But it
is just this keen desire to glean every avail-
able bit of romance that often enveigles the
unwary traveler into missing much of the
sheer joy of the journey. It is an un-
happy vice of the American abroad that
he progresses too often with one eye fixed
on the seer like utterances of the guide-
book, the other, cocked for the
earliest Gothic church or sixteenth century
chateau. We pass by the most enchanting
vision of twentieth century beauty, our
minds obsessed by the idea that romance
lives only in what is old. But long after-
wards what often comes back in memory
with the most poignant realization of their
beauty are chance glimpses of a twisting
alley way, a picture of a swarming market
place or the tall black hulk of an ugly
tramp steamer passed in mid-ocean. As a
warning to the Bryn Mawr traveler, keep
your eyes open for all the beauty and
romance of your own age and place not
your whole faith in Baedeker.

MORE ABOUT MAY-DAY

Through the mists and constant showers
we have managed to have our May-Day.
In. the intervals of fitful sunlight, we have
danced the Maypole, we have
crowned our May Queen, we have given
numerous plays. In the midst of all our
gayety few of us knew or remembered
that May-Day in Europe is the day that
workmen hold as their own, waving aloft
their red flags with impunity through the
streets. Our detachment may at first ap-
pear natural and merely another phase of
our constant “America for herself atti-
tude.” It begins to seem curiously for-
getful, however, when we realize that May-
Day, as Labor Day, was first celebrated
here in the eighties during the trouble
about the eight-hour day. Our memories
have been short, but the tradition, started
and forgotten by us, such a little time ago,
has continued in Europe. May-Day is
celebrated as the great labor holiday of
the year in all the industrial centers abroad.

SAINT GEORGE AND THE DRAGON
(Specially contributed by H. W. B.)

“Inside and outside we are very cold,”
sang the cast of Saint George and the
Dragon, and a shivering audience did not
fail to agree with them. Gray skies and
rain were soon forgotten, however, when
each player naively introduced himself in
turn, from the knightly Saint George to the
“wild worm” of a Dragon. Perhaps the
most successful was the “noble doctor”
who cured all with his sugar-coated pills,—
a feat not unknown even in modern days.

The acting was uniformly good, and the



BOOK REVIEWS

The Soul of Woman; Gina Lombroso,
D.L., M.D. E. P. Dutton Co.

Some ideas when expressed are immedi-
ately recognized though one may not have
formulated them into definite thought. Dr.
Lombroso analyzes woman as she is, in a
series of ideas that become statements of
facts, against man as he is and in relation
to woman. The two sexes appear in abso-
lute values and in unshaded light, charac-
terized by the alterocentrism of woman and
the egocentrism of man.

“Woman centers her feeling, her enjoy-
ment, her ambition in something outside
herself, makes not herself but another per-
son or things surrounding her the center
while man “makes him-
self and his pleasures and his activities the
center of the world in which he lives.”
Woman’s right to “erect her passions into
a standard

of her emotions,”

and to consider her heart a
legal code” depends on this characteristic
of her sex.

Attacking the question of feminine edu-
cation, Dr. Lombroso, in an effort to de-
nounce the tendency of women to mascu-
linity erects an argument that is firmly
based on natural laws and facts but par-
tially arbitrary.

Woman’s intellect, she begins, is intuitive
while deductive. Therefore
woman’s intellectual interest is limited by
her interest in the concrete
world. “She lives in the people and things
that surround her, while man’s intellect is
abstract

man’s is

emotional

capable of being absorbed by
things.”

Nevertheless, while woman may not have
a natural aptitude for abstract studies she
may excel in them through her interest in
people who love them.

The author says of university education
for the “As I myself
have frequented masculine schools and uni-
versities for a long time, I can really bear
testimony to the fact that while abstract
sciences, philosophy, mathematics and po-
litical economy clarify man’s intelligence,
they, curiously enough, really seem to dull
the minds of women. The brain of a girl
who studies these subjects is much more
confused and muddled than the brain of
a girl who has not studied them. The rea-
son is that study takes away woman’s faith
in her own powers of observation which
are so admirable and makes her trust de-
duction and science in which she is very
weak.

On the other hand, “If study does not
sharpen woman’s intelligence, it neverthe-
less enlarges the field of her observations,
it enables her better to profit by the les-
sons of experience, it trains her to express
her ideas more clearly. Besides, if study
does not do her any good, it does not, as
a rule, harm her much, nor bore her too
much.

“The natural milieu for feminine culture
and education ws found in the salons of

and completed each other. In the salons,

them before they were recognized by the
great public, men of genius found that

not happen in a masculine gathering.”

While Dr. states undeniable

it, the play sweeps forward to its agreeable
conclusion.

We always did like an outlaw, and we
came prepared for much; but, knowing in
real life all the players as we do, we
hardly dared hope for such correct and ad-
mirable reading of lines and such excellent
and spirited acting as had been prepared
for us. The play was a triumph of effort
and training. M. M. Dunn was so true
a Robin Hood that in the bold outlaw we
never could forget the Earl of Huntington.
The beauty and charm of M. Wylie as
Maid Marian almost, though not quite,
disguised certain shortcomings of her act-
ing. We feel sure that a better Friar
Tuck than J. Gregory never walked the
green at a Bryn. Mawr May-Day. A.
Boross played the part of Little John with
fine strong masculinity, and H. Grayson’s
rendering of Prince John was very im-
pressive. But space fails us to complete
this catalogue of excellence. We wish the
horses had been more thoroughly re-
hearsed.



“THE MASQUE OF FLOWERS” AND
“CAMPASPE”
(Specially Contributed by Miss G. G. King,
Professor of History of Art)

It was not alone, presumably, because of
my declared sympathy, both academic and
personal, with May-Day revelling, that I
was invited to express an opinion on the
masques that were played in the cloister;
but rather as a person specially fitted by
preoccupation with all the arts to recog-
nize and praise the evocation of beauty.

The two masques were well conjoined ;
each lent relief and variety to the other.
In the Masque of Flowers, while the
speeches gained interest by the excellence
of their speaking, the spoken work suffered
by contrast with the rhythms and cadences
of music and dancing alike. After the
plastic picture of the opening scene, the
dancing afforded the main interest, and a
real delight. Though Primavera was coy
and elusive rather than the “wanton
Spring” of the lines, she played with an
absence of self-consciousness rare and
charming, and all the dancers fulfilled that
hard requirement that the dance should
pass from one beautiful outline to another.
The little Bacchanal at the close expressed
well the intoxication of pure movement,
and the exhaustion of the wild little things
who have run with fawns over the moun-
tains.

To see the other masque was to recall
that of ten years ago and the Campaspe of
Dagmar Perkins; if the conception of Miss
Constant was sentimental instead of statu-
esque, she had, after all, a right to her
own interpretation, but the whole would
have gained had both she and Apelles had
more fire and, above all, plastic quality.
For the note of the performance was
sculptural: the rich Hellenistic air of
Alexander, enhanced by his pair of War-
riors from their opening appearance,
matched well the characteristic sententious
discourse, spoken with real distinction by
everyone throughout. The thing one gets,
from a revival of antique pageantry, is
just that: not to see with Elizabethan eyes,
no more than Lyly, (or, if you like, Man-
tegna, who came twice or thrice to mind),
could see with’ a Greek’s vision, but rather
to perceive and feel for a space something
complete and lovely to eye and ear and
rhythmic apprehension, in color and quaint
poesy and sweet dusty philosophical stuff,
with pulsings of imagination and emotion

—to make out of art and thought a single
whole, a bit of beauty. And because the

actors felt that, they could communicate
it.



A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM
(Specially Contributed by Mrs. Bullock,
Director of English Composition)

As I strolled down the hill on Saturday,
pleasantly sated with May-Day revels, I
heard—?—but yes! the bray of an ass!
Thinking I had left the Ass among the
dancers in the Masque, I stepped nearer
to see what might be forward in the sec-
ond hollow. And there walked Nick Bot-
tom himself, to and fro, singing to keep
his courage up; walked and sang, and
brayed, delighting all who saw, as he has
been doing these three hundred years or
more.

This Nick Bottom was, however, in
many ways unlike other Bottoms we have
known. His bray was unique—a master-
piece; and his voice ranged from bass to
high soprano as the passion of the true
actor seized him. His ears and eyelids
formed a sublimely comic set of punctua-
tion marks to his dramatic discourse. His
teeth—when Pyramus had replaced the
ass’s head and was moved to righteous
wrath at less gifted members of the cast,

did telling work. The other five: Quince,
of the rolling eye and chattering tooth,
Quince, the tactful Stage manager placating
the blustering “lead” with heavy flattery ;
Flute of the giggling falsetto; Starveling
the mild, the bewildered, the well-inten-
tioned, striving manfully not to be dis-
traught by the evolutions of his dog; Snug,
with his inimitable drawling voice, unhur-
ried of body and mind; Snout of the
nasal twang at Bryn Mawr” and the re-
markable mouth ;—all these, as well as the
great Bottom himself, were
distinct,

“only

personalities,

unforgettable. And
a fresh quality to the
Pyramus play by broadly farcing the whole
thing. The Prologue’s capital forgetting of
his lines, the Stuttering of Starveling and
the giggling of Flute carried frankly over
into the play, the absurd mis-handling of
the properties, all kept us in
pathy with the

vigorous,

these yokels gave

close sym-
Herculean Struggles of the
terrified rustics. ;Wall’s face was Snout’s
own face, hardly more agonized in its con-
tortions during the paralyzing progress of
the play before the duke than in its first
Struggles to comprehend this business of
Quince’s,—this giving of a play.

As for the fairies,—what can mortal pen
write of Titania and Oberon, of Moth and
Mustard-seed, Cobweb and Peaseblossom;
of their voices, their faces, their bearing,
their graces? Being spirits “of no com-
mon rate” they might—should we say the
wrong thing—put an enchantment upon us.
We have seen what they can do with en-
chantments. Better to leave them in fairy-
land, lovely and remote (except on May-
Day, of course), full of fairy guile, of
fairy wiles and Ways we know not of.
Puck we should wish of more acquaintance ;
we liked his shadowy grey shape and flam-
ing head, and grieved when he left and
came not back.

The Court group was so goodly to look
upon that we just looked, and forgot to
comment or to judge, except, perhaps, in
the matter of their voices, concerning
which we have a suggestion to make. Let
us put those rich, low voices, those modu-
lated tones, that exquisite enunciation, into
more general use around and about this,
our fair campus. Imagine a daily life lived
amid such speech as that of Theseus and
Hippolyte and the young lovers!

OLD WIVE’S TALE
(Specially contributed by E. G.-C.)

The performance of Peele’s Old Wive’s
Tale in the hollow at the foot of the hill
was, from a histrionic point of
haps one of the most
ments of May-Day. The setting and cos-
tumes did much for many plays, notably,
of course, Robin Hood and Campaspe, but
the charm and excellence of this play was
due almost wholly to the acting, The lines
of Sacrapant offered an opportunity for
more artistic interpretation than, perhaps,
any other character in the May-Day pro-
gramme, and Miss Mary Louise White did
it full justice. Her intensity was terrible
without rant, her malice
so touched with sadness by
cruel, unwilling motivation that the effect
produced was one of beauty and terror
rather than a conventional satisfying fairy
tale horror.

However, in spite of all Peele
White could do for Sacrapant, the charm
of the play was well distributed. Miss
Lesta Ford, as Huanebango boasted with
an enviable gusto; Miss Frederica de La-
guna’s behavior as the ghost of Jack was
as sprightly and skittish as one could ex-
pect of a grateful ghost; and no one could
have been more charmingly entertaining
than Miss Anna Pratt as Corebus. Of the
minor characters one should not fail to
mention for distinction the excellent work
of Miss Edith Walton as Wiggin, and
Miss Elizabeth Mallett as Frolic, and Miss
Olivia Saunders as Lampriscus, whose grin

view, per-
important achieve-

Was sinister, but
reason of its

and Miss

was obviously a token of triumphant su-
periority over wives and daughters.

It seems hard not to go on to mention
the others, particularly Miss Pamela Coyne
as the knight, and Miss Martha Tucker
as the good-natured hospitable Old Wife,
but the truth is that the space allotted to
this notice is not equal to the praise due
to the play.













PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES |
Robert LaFollette

1924 sees Senator Robert La Follette, of
Wisconsin, arriving



at what is probably
the most crucial point in a long and varied
career. As a young man he Was admitted
to the bar, held a few minor offices, served
three terms in Congress and in 1901 was
elected governor of his native state. He
was twice re-elected, but resigned in 1905
to go to Washington as a Senator. He is
now the senior senator from Wisconsin,
one of the most influential men in Wash-
ington, with a genius for economic legis-
lation.

Throughout his career La Follette has
been an acknowledged leader among liber-
als. Under his leadership Wisconsin took
the place that Massachusetts had had fifty
years before, and by his influence were put
through legislative measures
which from a liberal standpoint were far
in advance of those in most other States.
Roosevelt called Wisconsin at this time
the “political laboratory of the nation.”

Since 1905 a loyal majority has contin-
ually sent him back to Washington, al-
though his position there has been ironic. He
has approached political leadership in the
senate opposed by the majority of his
Party. In fact, while he is nominally a
Republican, he rarely agrees with his col-
leagues and has bitterly assailed many
cherished ideals of the grand old party.
At each succeeding Republican convention
he has presented a minority platform which
has been consistently rejected. Since then
twelve of the thirteen planks proposed in
1908 have become incorporated in the na-
tion’s laws and the thirteenth has been in
part adopted.

Although often criticized as an obstruc-
tionist, he has championed such constructive
legislation as railroad rate classification,
direct election of United States Senators,
publicity of campaign expenses, the crea-
tion of a Department of Labor, employers’
liability and woman’s suffrage. He voted
against the Volstead Act and opposed the
war policies of President Wilson. Of the
six senators denounced by Mr. Wilson as
“a little group of wilful men,” he is the
only one to remain in public office. He
suffered the same social obstracism during
the war as Ramsay MacDonald, and now
leads a group in American politics similar
in some ways to the British Labor party.
If he should announce his candidacy, Wis-
consin, Minnesota, the Dakotas, Montana,
Washington, Oregon, Iowa and Nebraska
would probably vote heavily for him, That
he is extremely popular among certain
classes there is no doubt. He was re-elected
by an almost unanimous vote to the Senate
pendent or a third party ticket, provided his
present illness does not prevent. A state-
ment of his platform a few weeks ago

THE COLLEGE NEWS



ENDOWMENT SOUGHT BY
MUSIC DEPARTMENT



CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 :
thoroughly unmusical learns now to under-
stand the structure of music so that he can
not only listen with intelligence but even
in a small way create music himself. The
colleges in their turn’must concern them-
selves with the problem of music as a
subject of study for undergraduates and
graduates.

“Through a gift of the Alumnae and
friends of the college a modest experiment
in musical education has been tried at Bryn
Mawr. Technically difficult courses in har-
mony have been given along with sound
courses in the history and in the apprecia-
tion of music, the latter training the faculty
of attention in a way which is unique in
our college curriculum. And to those of
us who cannot register for these courses,
good measure pressed down and running
over has been given by the generosity of
the department—delightful concerts, infor-
mal musicales open to all the students,
choir and glee club training, talks explain-
ing the program of the Philadelphia. Sym-
phony, and aid in preparation for May
Day. In the short, close-packed Bryn
Mawr year we have all found something
for our odd moments which is different
from and yet closely in harmony with the
other intellectual work of the college.

“T came to the college two years ago
hesitant as to the inclusion of music in the
Bryn. Mawr curriculum. I saw in: it all
the dangers of the superficial, the’ senti-
mental, and. the momentary enthusiasm. I
have come to feel that the courses offered
and the contribution made by the depart-
ment to the life of the college are as stim-
ulating intellectually as they are pleasing
aesthetically.

“Every alumna knows the inconvenience
of our only two places of meeting—the
chapel, which is not large enough even for
our own student body, and the gymnasium,
which has no dignity or appropriateness for
many of its uses. The college life could
go on more usefully, more pleasantly and
more interestingly with a convenient place
of assembly for addresses, meetings, plays
and concerts. In the old Taylor Chapel
partitions could give us three more )large
light classrooms and two more offices. All
the small classrooms and offices are already
in constant use. A few committee rooms
for important student organizations, a few
shelves and cases for student records would
solve problems in the college life in a way
out of all proportion to their actual cost.

“There is a busy, active-minded genera-
tion at Bryn Mawr which asks not for
more playing space in a Students’ Building
but more working space, not necessarily
work set by instructors and done in libra-
ries and laboratories, but something which
will use the common fund of intelligence
in one more way on late winter afternoons
and Saturday mornings and make the col-
lege able to add to its proper work by
the quality of its play.”

FIRST MATCH GAME OF SEASON
RESULTS IN JUNIOR VICTORY
1925 defeated the dark green team with
a score of 55 to 17, in a rather haphazard
game, on Tuesday. Both sides showed

distinctly their lack of practice, playing
apparently without signals and bunching
badly beneath the baskets. Last
training gave some semblance of system
to the playing of the Juniors, but 1927,
obviously at a disadvantage, showed in
spite of their handicap remarkably good
team work.

Line-up:

1925—C, Remak****##errxee, S. Ca-
rey**er*, LL. Voorhees***, M. Castleman,
Kk. Fowler.

1927--D. Hole******, M. Leary*, H.
Stokes*, C. Platt, A. C. Thomas.

Foul shots—L. Voorhees**, S. Carey*, D.
Hole*.
