‘CURRICULUM COMMITTEE’S
PAST AND FUTURE EXPLAINED
Undergraduate ‘Aupeciation Meeting:
Also Elects Treasurer
At a meeting of the se babies
Association on last Tuesday, in Taylor
Hall, M, Barret, ’28, was elected treasurer
for the coming year.
Virginia Lomas, chairman of the
Curriculum Committee, described the
history of the committee during the past
two years and its future policy. Organ-
ized in the spring of 1923 at President
Park’s suggestion, the group of under-
graduates, who were selected by the
Student Council, prepared and presented
to the faculty an elaborate report dis-
cussing the entire curriculum and advis-
ing such changes as a single major.
During 1923-24 the Curriculum Commit-
tee—continuedto—function,; consulting)
student opinion upon orals, discussing
with student presidents of other colleges
their curricular work, considering the
question of synthesizing courses for
Freshmen, etc. :
This year the committee realized that
_their work was really of no use unless
~~ definitely asked for by the Faculty Cur-
riculum Committee. Obviously there was
no point in submitting to the faculty, sug-
gestions upon subjects about which they
were not at the moment consulting. The
committee was only wasting its time, es-
pecially since the value of undergraduate
opinion, ignorant and_ inexperienced, is
likely to be small.
A méeting with the Faculty Committee
was therefore held in February, at which
the position ®f the undergraduate group
was discussed. After this meeting, a -con-
stitution for the Undergraduate Curricu-
lum Committee was drawn up by the
chairman and the president of the Under-
graduate Association. This was published
in the News two weeks ago.

1928 WINS ELMER HOBN FOR
. FIRST PLACE IN ARCHERY|—
eee ed
Millicent Pierce ’26 Rivals Last Year’s
es Woman Champion “
With ‘a score of 231 hits and 1155
points, 1928 won the Elmer Horn and
the first team archery meet which was
held on Saturday morning, May 2. 1926
came, second with a score of 237 hits and
1107 points, and 1927 third with 147 hits
and 661 points. The individual was won
by MM: Pierce; "26; with 69 hits, 407 points,
while P. McElwain, ’28, placed’ second
with 65 hits, 375 points, and M. Gregson,
28, third with 63 hits, 333 points.
The first event was the team shoot.
Of this Dr. Robert P. Elmer, former
national champion, has said, “The team
contest between the classes brought out
shooting of a quality fully equal*to that
seen at the national championship tourna-
Ynents.” Mr. William H. Palmer, another
ex-champion, ‘remarked that the form. as
a whole surpassed that of any other group
of-archers he had ever seen.
Dr. Elmer and Mr. Palmer were kind
enough to do a few minutes of exhibition
shooting which was greatly appreciated.
by the audience. All the archers next
tried their hand at shooting at a string of
floating red and yellow balloons. In a
short time only three or four were intact.
The most .exciting event was- the in-
dividual competition with nine entries.
Perfect form and accuracy of aim won
first place for M. Pierce, ’26; keeping a
steady level of excellent shooting, P. Mc-

exceptions the ¢horuses showed a remark-
able sureness of attack in picking up cues.
Their acting was delightful, especially the
skittishness of General Stanley’s Fifty
Daughters; the Pirates were inclined to
-assume-gentect characters as soon as ‘they
stopped singing. Much better was the
grimness of ine policemen “going to glory
and the grave.”
Of the characters, F. Thayer, "27,
sang beautifully and’ got the spirit of her
wart neatly, a very charming heroine in-
deed. The “orphan boy,” her father of
the languid white moustaches, as sung by
E. Parker, also had a lovely voice,
and showed fine diction. He was one
of the most amusing characterizations on
the stage, genteelly Sie just a little
peevish, :
Alice Matthew, ’27, as Frederic the
“slave of “duty,” was very attractive, espe-
cially in her scenes with Mabel, and in
IQn~
27,
the trio about “a paradox.” She, and
Alice Palache, ’28, as Ruth, a “Piratical
Maid-of-all-work,” were very funny in
their scenes together. Ruth, in fact, was
quite a gruesome old hag,
The best comic parts of the perform-
ance were Maris Constant’s Pirate Chief,
Richard, and Katharine Adams’ Edward,
Sergeant of Police. In stride, gesture,
and even moustaches, Richard was an
awe-inspiring figure. His song about a
Pirate King and his share of the trio,
“Away! Away!” were masterpieces. Ed-
ward could*not have been funnier. His
paunch, his walk, his trace of cockney,
and the little sob in his voice were. per-
fect. Undoubtedly he is one of Bryn
Mawr’s great comic creations.
The cast was as follows:
Richard, a Pirate -Chief,
Maris Constant, ’25

Rosamund Tuve, grad.
Frederic, a Pirate Apprentice,’
