_ On World of Chance
Physical Laws Are All Correct

is a strong element of choice or of
free will. “Science has opened up
a world where human thoughts ‘are
important, and where we can see once
again Plato’s vision of man as master
of his destiny; and beyond, because
while adhering to the vision, we still
hold to statistical scientific laws.”
Man can, if he wants and tries, do
something on his own initiative, and
his responsibility “s the action
proves. that he has freedom of per-
sonal choice. On the other hand, the
most fundameastal. principle of science
“is that “Nature obeys its'own laws.”
Science and modern civilization,
which arises from it, are based on the
idea that a truth, once proved and
tested, is reliable. If nature is not
reliable, then why study the laws of
nature?
But into modern physics has come
the principle of uncertainty, the idea
that nature does not obey exact laws,
that there is no perfect effect from
cause, and that the laws of natire are
flexible and allow human qualities un-
known before. If this were not true,
that is if the laws of nature were ful-
ly reliable, then human actions, such
as raising one’s arm, would_ result
from molecules striking one another
and man would be a machine. The
fixed physical laws would determine
the movement of the arm without the
interference of personal will, and the
person would not be responsible for his
action ut the human side of the
= that the arm moves
by the person’s will, The physical
laws are obeyed, but the desires of the
individual enter into the question, too.
If this means that the laws of nature

Archeology Department
Gets News of Expedition
The Archaeology Department re-
ceived a cable from Miss Hetty Gold-
man, ’03, announcing that a success-
ful start had been made on the exca-
vating expedition sponsored by Bryn
Mawr and by the Archaeological In-
stitute of America. The cable read:
“Excellent arrangements. Govern-
ment permission. Preliminary sound-
ings. Sites promising.”
Miss Goldman went out to Ankara
in February to ask permission to ex-
-eavate in South-Eastern Turkey. The
officials granted her a permit to work
in the sites not far from Adana, fifty
miles from Tarsus. There are mounds
of many cities in that neighborhood,
some of which have been worked on
, and have produced fragments of My-
cenean pottery. The expedition is
very anxious to find Mycenean re-
mains. like those found in tombs near
Haifa by Professor Garstang, and in
tombs near Hamath in Syria by Dr.
Ingholt, of the University of Beirut.
_No actual digging will be done this
season by the expedition. Miss Gold-
man has been at Adana, investigating
the mounds and studying the shyeds
of pottery. which she found near the
surface. By this time, she has prob-
ably been joined by Dr. Emil Forrer
and by Ann Hoskin, Mary Elizabeth
Garret Graduate European Fellow for
1933-34, who has been working with.
the School of Classical Studies at Ath-
_ens. Dr. Forrer will give advice on
the choice of the site, which will be
in a region concerning which he has
expert knowledge. He and Miss Hos-
kin will join Miss Goldman to work on
the preliminary soundings, but the
real work of excavating is not ex-
pected to begin until next fall, when
a considerably larger number of Bryn
Mawr grad owill be working on
‘it than are now on the expedition.

New ‘Courses Announc
_in Several Depa
,
“There will be a number of re
rangements and new courses,” said
Mrs. Manning in chapel on Thursday,
“which students should consider be-
-}fore making’ out their schedules for
next year.” Changes in English,
French, Latin, History of Art, and
Biblical Literature, as well as in His-
tory, Education and Economics will;
be made. : |
Advanced French students should!
|
consult Dean Schenck for information!
about their work, but readjustments |
in the first year course will apply par-'
ticularly to next year’s Freshmen. |
The course will be given in one section
rather than in two, and the work will
not beso specialized as it has been. It
will follow and tie up the threads of
study begun in school. Students who
have had special opportunities and can
do advanced work may be admitted to
the second year course at once. This
will be given in sections and will econ-
sist of a more detailed study of nine-
teenth century French literature.
The English courses are to be ad-
justed so that major students will
Have more choice in their work and
the Junior year will not be so strictly
prescribed. English Literature of the
Romantic Period will not be given un-
til year after next, but Dr. Chew will
gives in its place Tudor and Stuart
Drania.
There may be other changes about
which major students can find out
from the department.
Dr. Rogers will give the course in
Educational Psychology in the tirst
semester. Although her work will
keep hér in the Psychology department
in the second semester, students may
go on from.this course to others in
the Education department. First year
Psychology is a. prerequisite for the
course, and any one who intends to
teach should try to take it as early as
possible in her college career.
The History department announces
a course in Modern English History
to be given by Miss Robbins. Her
course in England Since 1485 is not a
prerequisite, but students will find it
valuable. — ve
The absence of’ Miss Marti makes it
impossible for Medieval French and
Latin to be given next year, but Miss
Lake will give a new and interesting
course in Rapid Reading of Latin.
Latin majors may choose either this
or Advanced Composition.
Astronomy will be given if tere is
a demand for it, but Dr. Michels pre-
fers to ‘give the course in alternate
years, so that plans for it re not
definite and must work. in with his
schedule.
The History of. Art department is
answering a long heard student de-
mand for a course in Modern Art.
This will be given by Dr. Diez instead
of his Art of the Far East. No pre-
requisite is demanded, but students
who-take—it-myst--demonstrate some}.
foundation in History of Art.
The most important general change
is that in the department of Biblical
Literature. Because of the departure
of Dr. Cadbury, the work will be-divid-|}
ed next year. Dr. Chew will give the
Literary History of the English Bible,
‘a coursé ‘which he has given before as
The English Bible.
The work will be along lines plan-
ned by him and by Dr. Cadbury and
will consist of a study of the Bible
from the point of view of its: influ-
ence on literature and art. It will
come on Tuesday and Friday at 11.00.
It is possible that this course will be-

A long time ago, the editors of Tip
had a great curiosity to find out. how
the students passed their time. The
means of ledrning, then as now, was
through a questionnaire, which de-
manded an account of every moment.
One of the questions was: “How much
time do you spend in (a) talking,
(b) resting, sewing, cleaning, clean-
‘ing up room, sorting wash, wasting
‘time, (c) any occupation not listed
above (if important, specify).” The
inext query was for the number of

Little May Day Practices
Come From Old Traditions
Little May Day, unlike big May
Day, does not have a definite origin,
but has gradually been. formed by
an accumulation of different
toms. Its numerous festivities repre-
sent some of the most delightful of
Bryn Mawr traditions. To know
something about these various cus-
toms adds to the general charm of this
day of celebration.
The Maypole dances and songs grew
out of Big May Day, which first took
place in 1902. The general theory
seems to have been that having the
dances every year would keep the un-
dergraduates limber between the
larger quadrennial celebrations. Of
course, it would be wrong to consider
this aspect of little May Day as en-
tirely utilitarian, The enjoyment that
the students get from these dances has
always been such that it would have
been unkind to deprive them of it for
three out of every four years.
The hoop-rolling is the oldest of the
traditions, and can be traced back at
least to the late Nineties. Besides be-
ing ripened by age, this custom has a
piercing (no other Word will describe
it) significance. In the olden days,
rolling hoops meant that all the sen-
iors had passed their orals. More-
over, it was a law that if any senior
failed her oral no hoops could be roll-
ed. To dwell upon this last possibility
is all too mournful, so let us imagine
that every spring deliriously joyful
maidens rolled their hoops with bac-
chanalian frenzy.

NEW FACULTY COMING
“May Day,” said President Park
in her address to the college.on Tues-
day morning, “is. one of the great days ~
of the college year, because it ties the
past year to the coming one.” The.
announcement of changes in the fac-
ulty and the awarding of fellowships
and scholarships in recognition of the
past and for help in the future, aid in
forming this tie; so Pygsident Park
at once announced the following
changes in the faculty for next year,
as an addition to those announ¢ed in
March.
Professor Helson has been granted
leave of absence to take a part-time
position at the University of Southern
California, exchanging work with Dr.
Milton Metfessel, who has been ap-
pointed Lecturer in Psychology- here.
Dr. Metfessel will probably continue
the work in which he is especially in-
terested, the investigation of sound.
. In the French Department, Profes-
sor Canu has been granted leave of
absence, and Mrs. Daudon will work in
the first and second year French |
courses in addition to teaching super-
vised French Reading as usual. Mlle.
Maud Rey, who has had extensive
training in the theatrical schools of
France, will lecture in French Diction.
Mr. Howard Brinton, who is to be
Acting Director of Pendle Hill next
year, will also give a course here in
the History of Religions,
Among the wardens, two are not re-
turning next year. Miss Cross, War-
den of Denbigh, will be replaced by

‘College Ides of Yesteryear Discovered
Seniors Locked in Taylor for Oral Orals
Orals are no longer orals, and with
the present era of dumbness which has
descended upon Bryn Mawr, we raise
a discordant voice to recall the glori-
ous past. All the blue books in Bryn
Mawr cannot make up for the imple-
ments of torture that were the mode
in our grandmother’s day. They, as
Seniors, took their orals orally, and
the whole college was prostrated dur-
ing the four times per year set as
dates upon which the oral examina-
tions were given. On these college
Ides the Seniors were led from one
torture chamber to the next, first be-
fore the examiners, and from thehce
to the confines of Taylor loft, where
hysteria ran high and the death-rate
was appalling. It is no wonder that
our fore-mothers were inspired ‘to
start the custom of oral singing, and
to inspire succeeding classes to con-
tinue it because of the extraordinar-
ily clever songs they wrote.
The oral-writers of that time had
much the same spirit in regard to their
language examinations as we have
now, but--the circumstances. surround-
ing their labors were different enough
from ours to bring forth such an in-
teresting comment as the following, senior year—with a
sung with Bryn Mawr vigor in 1915.
to the tune of Sing A Song of* Six-
pence:
Hordes of sorry Seniors cramming
hard at Dutch, °
Some crammed éheir brains away;
they didn’t lose much.
Countless sorry Seniors learned some
French in France,
They didn’t like a steerage trip, and
so they missed a chance,
Many sorry Seniors tutored with a
will,
. Me.
But they took in washing when they
got the bill.
Some sorry Seniors. crammed till 4
A; M.,
Overslept the oral, quite a blow to
them.
Couple of sad Seniors wrote an oral
ditty,
Died of the attempt to be original and
witty.
A few sorry Seniors really knew a
lot,
But their friends’ put poison in their
coffee pot.
One sorry Senior actually passed,
The shock was terrific and she breath-
ed her last.
Oh, sorry Seniors: arefi’t there any
more?
Never mind, they’ll meet again at oral
Number 4.
If we were footnoting the above
we should surely be able to make up
a vivid account of the singer’s life
from the. facts therein, with an espe-
cially scholarly comment on the “tak-
ing of oral number 4” (a custom that
-is-still retained in our practice of tak-
ing the oral fall and spring in our
junior year, and then fall and spring
phenomenally
large and congenial crowd at the last
stand). Also, we could trace the in-
fluence of this early bard on later
works of the same type: witness the
same spirit of camaraderie in the
memorable lines of a 1921 song to
the tune J Wish I Was A Little Bird:
“*For. when it cometh to French and

The Right to Cut
It is not very often that modern women are given a chance to
mount a soap box and scream with joyous ire that someone is depriving
them of their rights. We arrive at college to find that most of our
possible rights have been thought of and granted usglong before we)
ever sat down to consider just exactly what our rights were. We
arrived from schools where attending classes was done entirely as a!
matter of course and were faced with what seemed like dazzling vistas)
of cuts. It was not long, however, before we discovered our drastic!
need for these very cuts, nor before they seemed to dwindle away into
- a paltry few, making us compare the relative need of a free hour before!
a scheduled quiz here and there with the need for several free hours)
all at once the day before our Freshman long papers were due. We!
came to accept as a matter of course the fact that required atteridance!|
of our college classes has as a correlative the privilege of cutting them!
with impunity as long as our‘quota of cuts holds out. |
It is with a kindling sense of injustice and a feeling that the time]
has come to demand our rights,that we now consider the proposition |
that in some of our courses, our marks will be lowered a certain amount|
for every cut we take. We feel that in a collegé which has an‘estab-'
lished cut system, it is against the spirit of the administration to follow’
such a policy. We further feel that this policy is inconsiderate to the
students and is detrimental’to their work done for other courses which
have not adopted the same policy.. The students on the whole give a
fair deal to every one of their courses: when a cut is taken in one
course in order to devote time to work for another, there invariably
comes a moment when a cut is taken in the second course in order to
do work for the first. Our cuts are generally equally distributed, and
allow us to do much better work than if we were permitted no cuts at
all, because they give us free time to concentrate on the most important;
part of our work in any week;so that we may do it as well as possible. |
Furthermore, we find it difficult to believe that every single class in:
any subject is so vitally important that our work will suffer irreparably |
if we miss it; and since this belief is the only possible reason for any |
professor’s adopting the policy of deducting from our marks for every |
cut, we hope that our professors will henceforth take into consideration
the fact that when their classes are slighted for other work, the time
will eventually be made up to them when work for their course takes
its turn in demanding extra time spent on it.

Requiescamus in Somno :
Most of the students in this country are inflicted with reports
and examinations, just as we are. We realize that fact, but we also
note that most higher institutions of learning of the high intellectual
status of Bryn Mawr provide an oasis of sorts for the weary students.
At the eleventh hour our kindred sufferers reach a time that is called
‘a “reading period.” We are not asking so much as that: farthest
from our thoughts is any desire for a period in which to read. But
we do demand some consideration. We shall be straightforward in
- our requests, sincere as we fear other students at other institutions
of learning have not been. a
Straight from the shoulder, shoulder to shoulder, we rise to demand
a “sleeping period.” Let us define our terms. The week before
examinations we should like to have for sleep. We promise that we
shall sleep. Given a bed anywhere, even on the gym roof, we could
out-snore even an alarm clock. On our awakening, then, we bind
ourselves to drink black college coffee and eat hot cereal and write
long examinations that will send each member of the faculty to a
separate desert island to read our works.
It is net only this great advantage to our professors that prompts
us to make*this suggestion, however, We admit our motives are not.
purely unselfish. They are justified and-can be proved so by statistical
inquiry. Firstly, we lost all sleep May Day eve because with our a priori
~knowledgeof the Sophomores’. lung power, we-were-terrified at the
thought of their morning approach; secondly, we lost one hour of
Standard Time last week-end—plus the loss of sleep we sustained
staying up until two A. M. to keep the tradition of changing all our
clocks at the time specified by proclamation; thirdly, we have lost
sleep hanging out of windows, watching for the approach of Spring,
lest she catch us unaware; fourthly, we have found that we must
deprive ourselves of a portion of our nightly rest in order to finish
digging out the breakfast oranges and grapefruit before our nine
o’docks. It is with growing horror that we realize how these lost hours

Julian Green’s The. Dreamer is a
book about the sordid relations among

it—if you like that sort of thing! Per-
sonally, we find it wearing to pick up
a book like The Dreamer after losing
sleep over reports and Little May Day
and Daylight Saving Time: the book
is much too powerfully written for us
to escape one solitary sordid detail
that Mr. Green thinks may lurk in the
mind of a character, who is, if not
actually depraved, at least inclined to
be a kind of autistic, erotic intellect-
ual. The vividness of the portrayal
of Manuel’s character. does not re-
lieve our feelings of depression at all:
on the contrary, when we have fin-
ished we wonder if the only way out
doesn’t lie-in our running around cru-
sading for Child Health (this being
Child Health Week). We had better
stop to explain our sympathy for lit-
tle children, however, before we are
accused of succumbing to spring and
sentimentalism. All we need do is
select a passage from the beginning’
of Manuel’s story. It concerns the
thoughts of Manuel, the dreamer,
about his cousin, Marie Therese, aged
fourteen: “I remember shé was wear-
ing a white dress that left her arms
and legs bare. There were many girls
prettier than she, but there were none
whose beauty had the indecent qual-
ity which no one but me seemed to no-
Her mother dressed her in the
most provocative manner by making
her, probably for economy, wear last
year’s dresses, which had grown. too
short and too tight for her.” By the
end of the book we also begin to get
some sinister lights on death, and
Mr. Green tries to persuade us of the
greatness of Death. Says he, in ef-
fect, “Does not the Dreamer cast a —
keener eye on this world than we do;
are not the illusions of desire and of
death, in a world which is surround-
ed by the invisible, just as real as our
delusive reality?”
Yes, yes, say we hurriedly, and —
rush out to look for four-leaf clovers.
If you are feeling particularly gay,
we should advise you to run for The
Dreamer. It will introduce a new note
into your life, have no doubt of that,
for it is written with lucid and unmis-
takable plotting like that employed by
the French realistic novelists at the
turn of the century. Perhaps Julian
Green, in following his custom of
writing first in French and then trans-
lating into English, has here absorbed
both madness and method from those
pathologists of human relations.
Then, having given up Mr. Green’s
escape from reality, we tried another.
The second is much more fun: we

Away Island by one novelist, Barry

you do, despite the fact that it is a
definite type of modern fiction.
style is remarkable: take, for exam-.
ple, the sentence, “But the evening
was too glorious: it held her there.”
That is the sort of thing, that, coming
in the first paragraph, enthralls us!
The story is a gripping one, and very
instructive. It has several chapters
in which minor operations take place
—in one’s own home. And we learn
all about obstetrics — “the ABC of
medicine”—and about the extraction
of a splinter. With one great cli-
mactic stroke the novelist runs
through one of his main characters
with a slice of wood: in fact, the hero
is brought in bleeding both front and
back, having been spitted on a splinter.
Then all the characters get together
and operate, the home medical author-

screaming, “Look! There goes one

is very real, but it has a certain glam-

likely to be on the team at some time

sophomore class. Carter plays a
steady game of tennis, while Fabyan,
although possessed of strong excellent
strokes, is inclined to be somewhat
‘erratic. Canaday, who plays first in
the singles team for the Sophomore
class, is another outstanding competi-
tor, as is Betty Perry, a Junior, with
previous experience on the Varsity
squad. _The two outstanding Fresh-
men on the squad are Peggy Jackson,
who had valuable experience at Win-
ssor School in Boston, and Molly Meyer,
who won the school tournament at
St. Timothy’s in Catonsville for both
of the past two years.
This year, interclass matches are to
be substituted for the College Tour-
nament of previous years, and these
have already gotten under way. The
Freshmen were victorious over the
Sophomores last Thursday on. the
basis of total matches won, although
the Sophomores defeated their first
team two to one. The Senior-Junior
tournament is not yet finished, because
the rain prevented a couple of
matches. During the next week there
will be more interclass tennis, for the
Freshmen will meet the Juniors on
Tuesday, and the Seniors and Soph-
omores will play later in the week.
The Varsity Schedule, published
last week, has been augmented by the
addition of the annual Faculty match,
which is tentatively planned for the
last day of classes, May 19.

French and History of Art majors,
buf’ no definite plans have been made
for this. A new course and one which
should prove of exceptional interest
will be given by Dr. Brinton, who is
head of the Friends’ Graduate School
at Pendell Hill. His wide training
and experience in education, science
and philosophy make him well quali-
fied to give History of Religions. This
will meet twice a week, but the plans
are not definite at present.
An addition to the Economics de-
partment will be Dr. Anderson, who
comes next year from Harvard. He
will share the first year Economics
course with Dr. Wells and the divisions
will probably change at mid-year. He
will also give an unrequired course
in Second Year Economics called
Problems in Money and Banking,
which will supplement Mrs. Smith’s
-eourse; There will be more choice in}
the advanced work in both Politics
and Economics. A course in Contem-
porary Politics will be given by Dr.
Wells and one in Problems in Econom-

allow an extension of work which
should give a wider range and a more
flexible point of view for. advanced
work.

cause of the light beam’s pressure on
the bullet. Although this pressure is
small in the case of a bullet, it is large
in experiments with atoms and elec-
trons. Even if the intensity of the
beam were reduced to one photon of
light, the bullet would still be retard-
ed by the pressure of the photon, and
no accurate prediction of the bullet’s
speed could be made. Even if a radio
wave, whose mass is in inverse pro-
portion to. its length, were substituted
for the particle of light, the great
length of the wave would still prevent
any accurate predictions.

just matches that paid by the students.
This is perfect, as the cost of stu-
dents’ instruction, library privileges,
and laboratory materials is double the
that every Bryn Mawr student pays.
A few students use awards which
could have been used elsewhere and
which are. given for purely impersonal |
reasons, Bryn Mawr is very grateful
for these scholarships, which are the
following:

which permits the existence of the col-
lege, has been paid not only to Bryn
Mawr, but also to Yalé, Harvard; and
Princeton by people who realized the
various advantages of education.
In many cases, too, the college pays
on the student’s side of the account,
and when it has net the money itself,
obtains it from other people through
the efforts of the Scholarship Com-
mittee. Neighbors, the faculty, direc-
