to life. Which made possible the tra-
ditional long kiss sunset ending.
Had Shaw been around at that time
his play would have been different. He

would have pointed out that the
Greeks were fond of their garlic. And
he might have stressed the fact that
Pygmalion always took enough to
bring anything to life, even tougher
marble than was used in Galatea. He
would undoubtedly have had an epi-
logue ee that. the whole thing
was a tragedy because love leads to
marriage and marriage is, at best, a
sorry affair.

Shaw wasn’t around, however. And
his knowledge runs more to the ab-
stract of language than the concrete
of,statues. Still there’s no doubt
about the brilliance of his dialogue. Or
is there much discussion as to his
skill in dramatic construction.

But when it comes to philosophy,
there’s a different story. Shaw’s blasé
pessimism is hot enough even to with-
er the unwitherable pessimism of a
Bryn Mawr senior. His superiority
approaches that of a Bryn Mawr
“Magna.” And his boredom with the
commonplaces of life is within hailing
distance of a Bryn Mawr graduate
student’s. Such pessimism, such su-
periority, and such boredom have their
places both on the Main Line and the
stage. Certainly Pygmalion deserves

J. Cartier Will Give

Performance Here

Bryn Mawr is promised an unusual
treat in the dance recital to be pre-
sented by Jacques Cartier on Thurs-
day evening in Goodhart Hall. Lauded
by critics all over the world as a
“brilliant young dancer” and as the
American Nijinsky, he comes here
with a reputation for remarkable skill.
It is the first time that a man dancer
has ever appeared at Bryn Mawr, and
his versatility and strong masculinity
should attract a large audience.

In spite of his French name, Mr.
Cartier is an American, as he proves
by his interest in American Indian
dances. He has lived and studied in
strange nations everywhere so that
he brings first-hand information to
his dances of Spain, Italy, Japan,
and of the Hopi Indian country. Aside
from his fame as a concert dancer,
he has scored great successes in Zieg-
feld’s “Follies” and in “Golden Dawn.”
He is known chiefly for his “strong,
hard dance” and his strikingly orig-
inal effects, but he is also considered
a mature and careful artist. His sav-
age dancing, particularly, is said to
be a “revelation of fierce abandon and
impressive dignity,” ‘‘as perfect a
piece of the dance-art as will ever be
found.”

The program will begin with a.ser-

framed in the arches, and, although
they remained standing in full view

‘throughout the play, they were con-

sidered offstage until they spoke or
moved. In this way, the whole cast
was used, as it was in the Middle Ages,
to provide a conventionalized setting
and background for the actors who
were on the stage at any given mo-
ment, and the effect of all the cos-
tumes was used all the time to set the
tone of the play. In other words,
throughout the play the audience was
continually kept conscious of the pres-
ence of the devil and of his emissary,
clothed in ghastly green and fiery red,
of the presence of the Church in its
royal purple robes, and of the pres-
ence of Notre Dame in conventional
blue, because they all stood in the
background on the cloister walls as
though in a painting, until the moment
when they stepped quietly out of the
painting and entered the action of the
play. There was a reposeful lack of
modern suspense in the knowledge
that just these people and no others
would eventually enter the play, but,
despite this knowledge, there was a
great deal of dramatic suspense as to
exactly how and when they would be
brought in and as to just what words
they would use when they got there.
We found that the return to the sim-
ple conventions of the mediaeval the-
atre, which are almost exactly the op-
posite of modern ‘theatrical conven-
tions, was not at all boring and had a
surprising amount of dramatic inter-
est and suspense.

the entire cast. Miss Stewart, as

for the return of her soul, brought a
high emotional pitch to the entire
play. The devil, played by Miss Jar-

Questionnaire Describes College Courses; ~

Students Discouraged by Almost One-Half -



Strikingly Small Proportion Emphasize Originality; Detailed
Memory Work Predominates, Forty-One Have
Excessive Reading Required



MOST OF COURSES COVER MATERIAL ANNOUNCED



In answer to the course question-
naire recently circulated by the News
among the undergraduates, the News
Board received so much information
that it can no longer cope with details

or trends, memory work or originality,
or any reading whatsoever, and is
about to launch a crusade against any
and all courses with any of these char-
acteristics. _We learned that of 120
courses in college, 65 involve mostly
memory work, only 30 originality, 42
small details, 48 broad trends, and 50
discourage further ‘study, while only
58 do not. .Feeling somewhat appalled
by the number of discouraging courses
we plunged on to the more cheering in-
formation that only 41 courses require
too’ much reading and almost all
courses cover the material announced.

Detailed information about each

following question: “Does each course
(a) involve — memory work,
originality, brg@ad trends, small de-
tails, too much reading; (b) cover the
material announced; (c) discourage
further study in subject?”

The differences in the minor, major,
and advanced work in each depart-
ment are clearly indicated. For ex-
ample, in some departments the minor
course is so good that students are en-
couraged to take major and advanced
courses which prove discouraging be-
cause they involve too much memory
for detail. In other departments the
minor courses are so poor that they
discourage the student from further
work in that department, although the
major and advanced courses appear to
balance memory work with original-
ity, and trends with details.

analysis ofthe required and popular

Dance at Deanery Gains
New Charm from Setting



On Saturday, we attended the most
delightful College function of our ca-
reer at Bryn Mawr: the dance in the
Deanery. Until then, we had never
realized what. a tremendous addition
a little of the atmosphere of a home
would be to a college dance nor how
much more easily we could display
our social charm in a comfortable
drawing room than in the bare and
draughty spaces of the gymnasium.
We are distinctly grateful not only
to Miss Thomas for* giving her house
to the Alumnae, but to Mrs. Chad-
wick-Collins, the Chairman of the
Deanery entertainment committee,
and to Betty Perry, ’35, for organiz-
ing such a successful dance in a new
place.

Those of us who have known the
Deanery only this year, felt that we
were treading on historic ground. The
spirit of a charming and distinguish-
ed hostess and her many distinguish-
ed guests seemed to fill the house and
made us feel greatly privileged to be
there. -It gave greater charm to our
fellow-guests, who looked better and
all seemed to enjoy themselves more
than at any previous dance.

In many ways, the Deanery is an
ideal place for a party. It provides
a comfortable and dignified setting
for the chaperones, who, at the gym-
nasium, are always being blown and
pushed. around. There are pleasant,
quiet places to sit, for those who do
not wish to dance incessantly. Tokens
of Miss Thomas’ many and varied in-
terests were extraordinarily conducive
to ‘conversation, which the very good?
music was not loud enough to drown.
Although we realize that perhaps the
Deanery would be somewhat too
small for the big Christmas and
Spring dances, we sincerely hope that
the Alumnae who were staying there
were not too much disturbed by our
dance to lend us their house for an-

=

college. Freshman English -is_ over-
whelmingly original, stresses trends
over details, but discourages 1/5 of
the students, and is thought by 1/5 not
to cover the material announced.
Sophomore English stresses memory
slightly over originality, balances de-

tails and trends, discourages 1/4 of :

the students, covers the material, and
is thought by 1/2 to involve too much
reading. .

All the required sciences discourage
a_large proportion of the students,
stress memory work and details, but
cover the material. Physics requires
8 times as much memory as original-
ity, and discourages 3/5. Biology in-
volves 6 times as much memory as
originality, 3 times as many details
as trends, and discourages only 1/5.

: ‘ tChemistr i
course was given us in answer to the fC emistry needs 8 times as much

memory as originality, contains 8
times as many details as trends, and
distourages 1/3 of the students taking
it. Geology requires 11 times as much
memory as originality, covers 2 1/2
times as many details as trends, and
discourages 1/4.

Required Philosophy gives oppoy
tunity for 5 times as much original-
ity as memory work, deals with 3
times more trends than details, dis-
courages 2/5, and is thought by only
1/10 ‘to ‘contain too much reading.
First Year Latin Literature requires
9 times as much memory as _original-
ity, contains 2 times as many details
as trends, discourages more than 1/38,
is thought by 1/4 to involve too much
reading, but covers the material _com-
pletely.

Everybody thinks that Elementary

German is completely a detailed mem-

ory course, 1/8-of the students think
it contains too much reading, 3/4 say
it covers material, and only 1/3 are
discouraged. Similarly, everybody
thinks German Reading involves all
detailed memory work, 1/12 think it
has too much reading, the same pro-
portion are discouraged, and 1/2 only
think the course covers the material.

First Year French requires twice
as much memory as originality, bal-
ances details to trends in the ratio
of 6 to 5, is thought by 1/2 of the
students taking it to contain too much
reading, and discourages 3/7 from
further study. Minor History de-
mands 12 times as much ability for
memory work as for originality,
strikes a nice balance between details
and trends, and is thought to cover
the material by 2/3 of the students
answering the questionnaire; and, al-
though 1/2 of the students believe that
it has too much reading, it discour-
ages only 1/10. Minor Economics re-
quires 3 times as much memory as
originality, places equal emphasis on
trends and details, but is considered
by 1/2 to require too much reading,
and discourages 1/3. Minor Politics
demands 4 times as much memory as
originality, covers more trends than
details, completely covers the mate-
rial, discourages only 1/10 of the stu-
dents, and is thought by no one to
contain too much reading.

First Year History of Art balances
memory with originality, and trends

To Err is Human

The-eollective judgment of the undergraduates on their college
courses has given..us.to.pause and _ reflect at great, length in the “a
hours of the morning. It seems a definitely deplorable state of affairs,
that fifty out of one hundred and eight courses have discouraged nt to
one hundred percent of the students from further study in their sub-
ject. We stand ready to admit that it is impossible to please everybody ;
but since courses providing either an opportunity for more originality
than memory work, or preserving an equal balance between memory
~ work and originality, have on the whole discouraged no one, while
courses stressing memory and small details have generally discouraged
a large proportion of the students, it may be. concluded that the stu-
dents have some system in their discouragement. It is significant in
this light that the popular electives are almost all courses which require
original work, showing that the students tend to turn with relief from
the large amount of memory which is inflicted upon them to some course
that will give an outlet to their smothered originality.

We wish also to point out the unfairness of the emphasis on detail
and memory work in all the Required Sciences. Except for First Year
Latin, all of the other required courses tend to preserve an even balance
in their characteristics: Required Philosophy gives a great opportun-
ity for and training in original thinking, but also requires memory
and nicely balances details with trends; Sophomore English is remark-
ably distinguished, in comparison with the courses as a whole, by the
just care with which it steers a middle course among all of the possible
extremes. But it beconies apparent that the basis for the opposition to
the Science Requirement is not our objection to any form of\ discipli-
nary training, but our reluctance to embark on-a course which is so
specialized as to be extremely difficult for anyone without a talent for
memorizing small details. Since the English Required Courses are so
balanced and arranged that they can be passed by anyone who isither
original or who can memorize details, it seems unfair that the Required
Sciences should emphasize details to such an extent that anyone who is
original and cannot memorize details is unable to pass them.

We further wish to suggest that the minor course in each depart-
ment should be an indication of the character of the work in the whole
department. In many instances this is already the case: Minor His-
tory is an exact indication of the kind of course that is to be expected
from the entire History Department, and any student who likes the
Minor course may be sure of finding its characteristics repeated in the
Major courses. However, in some departments, such as in Archaeol-
ogy, the Minor course gives an opportunity for original work, does not
emphasize small details, and is liked by all the students, while the Major
courses appear to demand little originality, mainly memory for small
details, and discourage many who were encouraged by the Minor course
to take more Archaeology. In the Economics Department, the reverse
is true: the Minor course is apparently discouraging, has too much
reading, and requires too much memory work, while the Major course
is one of the best balanced and most satisfactory courses in college.
We feel that the various departments should endeavor to give in their
First Year courses a sample of the kind of work they will expect from
their major students, so that no one may. suddenly discover herself

having to do exactly the sort of Major work for which she is least}

fitted and which she had not been led to expect by the First Year
course. In the Advanced work there should be a wide choice of courses
emphasizing either memory or originality, trends or details, so that the
student may do the sort of specialized work for’which she is best
equipped. Under the proper guidance of the department she can
accomplish an equal amount in doing either original work or in acquir- |
ing a great deal of information, in working on trends or in doing de-
tailed study.. A ETT AMET RAS RETESET me ee Set Ne SR eee

The Play’s the Thing
Those of us who have just seen the spring play, supposedly the
culmination of the Varsity Players’ efforts for the year, are. confused
about the fundamental relation of our college dramatic organization to
the college as a whole. The plays that Bryn Mawr presents are, for







most outsiders, the only evidences of undergraduate activity ; and even
for us they have much more interest than all of the organizations that
retire to the lower hockey field for practice, or shut themselves in
council in the confines of Goodhart. These others have their part in
the college, and work efficiently and regularly; but Varsity Dramatics
appeals to many more of us for the opportunities it offers for experi-

in East of the Sun, in which a beau-
tiful little rich girl is bored with it
all, and falls in love with a young avi-
ator, who awakens in her “the smoul-
dering fire of passion and true love.”
Knowing Miss Ulric of old, we feel
sure she will be equal to the-part.

are great occasions which we support. by our own attendance and by

the enforced attendance of our families and friends.

There is nothing

that pleases either them or us so much as our showing off our handiwork.

Those of us who saw Pygmalion last™week-end represent a chosen
few, and those of us who have recovered from that great Shavian
venture feel that in no way did it represent either the choice or the
talent of Bryn Mawr. We do not feel competent to criticize the actual
production; but so far as we are concerned as undergraduates, the
play was a failure. We saw only four undergraduates on the stage,
and three of these had minor parts. It was a star play, with important
male roles done by players not only alien to Bryn Mawr, but uncon-
nected with any college dramatic organization.

Varsity Dramatics was never designed as an organization to spon-
sor professional or semi-professional productions. Dramatics are ex-
tracurricular, and we have a dramatic organization to give as many of
us as possible a chance to disport on Goodhart stage. As it is, we find
that the Varsity Players are apparently not interested in doing a play
that will let us display the slight finish we may. have achieved after
Varsity plays. Apparently the students of the college are not good
enough to work in the productions of the college dramatic association.
It is a further outrage that the four undergraduates. in the play had
to be supported by six players who are not undergraduates at all.

If Varsity Players is to receive undergraduate support, it must
change its policies. We do not mean to say that we are planning a
deliberate boycott, but it is a fact that we have lost interest in college
dramatics this year and that, in the midst of our Shavian despondency,
we are looking forward indifferently to the future. The Varsity Players
n reorganization to give us what we, as undergraduates, want.
Aspiring actresses all, we ask for a chance to act, even if we are not
very good. We are enthusiastic and optimistic enough to believe that
when we are given an opportunity to work for Varsity Dramatics, that
organization will find some good actresses among ‘Us, and will be better

(a) Mescal Dance:
~For-over-a hundred years the
Hopi have been copying the
Mescal Rite and Dance of their
northern neighbors, the tribes
of the Osage. In the autumn,
runners are sent from the Hopi
villages to northern Mexico to
procure the mescal peyotes nec-
essary for the ceremony, and
on their return, the Rite begins.
The Medicine-Maker and the
Sun Priest gather in the Kiva,
where to the beat of the tombe
and chant of the Mesca] Peyote,
they perform an elaborate cere-
mony of taking the vision-con-
juring peyotes, which is fol-
lowed by the rising of visions,
and the spontaneous, ecstatic
dance, after which the dancer
sinks into his blanket, to a

Pygmalion Reviewed
by Dramatic Critic



Continued from Page One

the rank it has: attained, as one of our
great modern plays. Still, I can’t help
wishing Shaw was a little less the
critic and a little more the photogra-
pher. The best plays are written by
playwrights whose main’ intent is
playwriting.

The performance given by the Var-





sity players was smoothly competent.
William B. Cowen paced his company
with a nice understanding of effort.
And, for-the most part, there was no
obvious self-consciousness.

Honora Bruére, who played Eliza
Doolittle, has a definite magnetism.
Where she should dominate she does.
Her handling of the “cockney” dialect
was none too easy for her, but she
gained sureness with education. Only
in the few highly dramatic moments
of the play was the role of. Eliza
above Miss Bruére’s head. When these
climaxes came she- attemptéd to cir-
cumvent them, rather than meeting
them face to face.

Elizabeth Meade as prim Mrs.
Pierce, housekeeper of Higgins, gave
the most competent performance of
the evening. Her acting was poised,
and unhurried.. Her only fault lay in
the improper use of her hands. Mar-
garet Kidder made Miss EVnsford-
Hill determinedly unsure: of herself.
Agnes K. Lake, as Mrs. Eynsford-Hill,

gave the impression of having been
born to: flutter. Magdalen Hupfel



Flexner -made Mrs. Higgins a self-
confident and quite charming matron.
Elizabeth Washburn was an éfficient
maid,

Janet Barber’s scenic effects were
remarkably good.
pany ‘could’ ask for better - property
support than was supplied on Friday

From curtain to curtain Pygmalion
held the interest of the audience. The
sophisticated cynicism of the. script
was handled with scarcely a fumble by
the well-drilled cast.

YOUR SUMMER HOLIDAY?

A great many Bryn Mawr Alumnae have been to Back Log

Back Log Camp was founded in 1896 by Thomas K. Brown,
or many years mathematics teacher at Westtown School, and it is
now run by his children arid grandchildren. It is situated in a ve
wild part of the Adirondacks, is inaccessible by automobile directly,
and has no neighbors or cleared land within several. miles.

It offers no “attractions”; but you will find there excellent food,
very good company, and daily camping trips out into the surrounding
wilderness. Back Log runs the woods; it swims, canoes, climbs moun-

aissance History exacts entirely mem-
ory work, 1 1/3 times as much work in
details as in trends, discourages no
one, but is thought by 1/8 of the stu-
dents to cover the material and by the
same proportion to have too much
reading. American History requires
8 times as much memory as original-
ity, deals with twice as many trends
as details, but is thought by almost
1/2 of the students to have too much
reading, by only 1/4 to cover the ma-
terial and by 1/8 to ‘be discouraging.
Continental History. needs entirely de-
tailed memory work, but has not too

the students, does not cover the mate-
rial in the opinion of 2/5, and dis-
courges 1/5.
History of Art
All of the Major and Advanced His-
tory of Art courses listed in the ques-
tionnaire are~characterized~ as ~invol-
‘ving mainly memory, stressing trends,
covering the materia] well without de-
manding too much reading and being
very encouraging. The only differ-
ences in analysis lie in the differing
proportions: Medieval Art requires
no originality, and does not stress de-
tails at all; Philosophy of Art also
requires no originality, but balances
the emphasis on trends and details;
History of Prints (elective) requires
twice as much capacity for memory
work as originality, and stresses
trends 4 times_as much as it does de-
tails.

as much memory as originality, places

of the students taking it.

Latin

Save for Latin Prose, no one found
any of the Major or Advanced Latin
courses discouraging, and the empha-
sis of all the courses seems to lie on
trends. Second Year Latin demands
memory equally as much as original-
ity, cgvers 5 times as many trends as
details, is criticized by 1/3 as having
too much reading, and covers the ma-
terial very well. Advanced Latin
gives no opportunity for originality,
places no stress on details, covers too
much reading, and does not cover the
material announced.- Medieval Latin
is revealed as. requiring twice as much
originality as memory, .emphasizing
trends 3 times as much as details, de-
manding too much reading according
to 1/3 of the replies, and covers ‘the
material very well.

Mathematics

The Major and Advanced Mathemat-
ics courses in every case stress details,
do not require too much reading, cover
the material announced, and discour-
age no one (except Third Year Cal-
culus, which discourages 1/3). They
differ in their demands for memory
originality: Second Year Mathe-
matics balances memory and original-
ity in the ratio of 5 to 3; Second
Year Calculus and Second Year Geom-
etry involve'‘no memory; Third Year
Mathematics requires all memory
work, Third Yéar Calculus bdilances
memory with originality in the pro-
portion of 3 to 2; and Theory of Fun-
damentals of Complex Variables bal-

ances the two exactly.

Music
The Second and Third Year Music
courses all encourage further study,
and all ‘emphasize trends twice as
much as details, except in the case of
Advanced Harmony, which excluded







both. Second Year Music balances | Greek courses all require memory and

normal Psychology is entirely. detailed
memory work, but has not too much
reading, covers the material, and of-
fers no discouragement. Social Psy-
chology requires twice as much mem-
ory as originality, balances details
with trends, has not’ too much read-
ing, offers no discouragement, but is
thought by only 1/2 of the students to
cover the material. Motivation is the
only Psychology course to necessitate
more originality than memory, but the
work is completely detailed, does not
cover the material and discourages 1/2
of the students.

Social Economy and Research

The Social. Economy department
discourages no one, anid stresses main-
ly memory and trends. ‘Labor Move-
ments requires twice as much memory.
as originality, covers the material,
and the reading is satisfactory in
amount. Social Investigation § de-
mands mostly memory work, places
equal emphasis on trends and details,
and does not require excessive read-
ing. Applied Sociology balances orig-
inality and memory in the ratio of 3
to’ 2, puts 3°times as much’ stress on
trends, as on details, is criticized by
1/3 for having too much reading, and
by the same number for not covering
the material. Anthropology involves
2/3 more memory work than original-
ity, presents 5 times as many trends
as details, has not too much reading,
and is thought by 3/5 of the students
to cover the material

Spanish

All of the courses in the Spanish
department demand mainly the abil-
ity to memorize detail, except in the
case of Advanced Spanish, which ex-
cludes both trends and details. The
amount of reading is satisfactory in
all the courses. Both First and Sec-
ond Year Spanish cover the material
and encourage students 4in further
study, but Advanced Spanish has
neither of these characteristics.
