The scattering of college students
to the far corners of the nation and
of the world and the annual gather-
ing ef them, complete with new ex-
perienees, into the campus fold is one
of thé most fascinating aspects of life
The stay-at-
homes listen hungrily to others and
plan trips of their own, the returned
travelers discourse learnedly and
longingly of the amazing things they
have seeh and done in Paris, Buda-
pest, Heidelburg or Santa Fé. “What
did you do this summer?” is a fasci-
nating game for all.

The broad highways orf western
America and the narrow lanes of Eng-





vored resorts of travelers. Certainly
from the reports brought home no one
could accuse the Bryn Mawr girl of
hurriedly skimming over the High
Spots,

Traffic on Route 30 must have been
at a standstill while Sally Park, Mar-
garet Halstead, and Eleanor Fabyan
made their breath-taking dash from
New York to Denver, Colorado, in ten
days. The cause of this new long-
time motor record seems to be the
fascination which-every State fair,
village museum, and auto camp ex-
erted on the motorists. They later
pushed on bravely to Santa Fe, where
they found the Fiesta “horribly
crowded but great fun.” Agnes AIl-
linson also saw America first from
an automobile, but took the return
trip from sunny California by boat
through the Canal. Irené Ferrer and
Beirne Jones preferred train rides to

ies that she motored there for many
weeks, while Irené made the return
trip from Banff and California via
the Panama Canal. Gertrude Right-
er reversed and extended this order,
going through the Panama and on
to Honolulu, where she swam and
played on the most perfect of beaches
for two months.
Many took their summers seriously,
or at least intended to do so when they
left for vacation. But impressions

Self-Government Dance ”

Mixes Advice With Frolic

The Self-Government Reception for
the freshmen on Saturday evening
was a great success, from Dean Man-
ning’s suggestion that she and Miss
Park should replace their speeches by
a tap dance or a duet to the unrivaled
grace of the winne f the Dance
Competition, -the Misses Tobin and
Pierce. The freshmen and their Stu-
dent Advisers were regaled by Miss
Park’s account of her well-filled day
in which a Finnish luncheon and a
liqueur known as an “Arctic Bram-
ble” played ah important part. Both
Miss Park and Mrs. Manning, in more
serious vein, urgéd the freshmen to
begin at once to take advantage of



Mawr, either indirectly through the
marvels of Philadelphia or directly
by contact with other students and
with the faculty. It is advisable to
avoid if possible the shyness which
often results in an upsidedown kind
of snobbishness and the tendency to
limit one’s circle of friendships to
those ¢orttemporaries who seem to
have the same type of interests. The!
be of quite a different background or
gerieration is invariably valuable to
both sides. of

rusted about trying to cancel the ar-
rafigements with the Bryn Mawr
Band, but were uhable to intercept
them before they arrived on campus.
The’sophomores gathered at the site
of the constructed, but unignited,
pyre, and waited for twenty minutes.
They never discovered the cause of
the delay of the arrival of the fresh-
men, who had assembled by Pembroke
Arch almost an hour before. The as-
sistance of a man was required to
light the great bonfire, but it blazed
up despite the heavy downpour. The
sophomores formed a’ ring around it
and soon were assailed from above
by burning brands, as well as by
streams of water.

Members of the class of nineteen
thirty-eight had heard vague. rumors
about the proposed tune of the Parade
Song of the freshmen. Some people
who lived in Rockefeller,~had heard
echoes of Cheek to Cheek emanating
from the freshmen bedrooms: A
parody was written to that tune which

The juniors

was appropriate also to the weather:

“You’re in College—you’re in College,

And the sophomores have got your
song insane,

And we’re sorry that you’ve caused
yourself the pain,

Of coming out here singing in the
rain.”

Unfortunately the freshmen came
over the hill to the tune of ‘‘The Old
Grey Mare” -.and broke into song
(having already broken into the inner
cirele beyond the sophomores), to the
tune of “Show Me the Way to Go
Home,” of which the words follow:

“We’ve worked our way through school
nd now we’re in Bryn Mawr.
Weill never be a sophomore’s tool,
’Cause sophs go just so far.

“Wherever you may sleuth*
’Neath bed or telephone booth,
In all our rooms
No Sherlock Holmes
Will ever discover the truth.”

A long snake dance covering the
area’ of the whole field took place
next, and. was. participated in- with
great abandon by all. four classes.
After a suitable interval everyone ad-
journed to Pembroke Arch, the fresh-
men’ vowing to detect the Parade song
of the class of nineteen-forty.

The new seniors took the steps of
Pembroke West for the first time and
called for Parade Night, class songs,
and finally put an end to the sodden
party with the singing of “Thou Gra-
cious Inspiration.”

EDITING ABSORBS MANY

“There was a great westward
urge”—thus did Mrs. Nahm explain
the fact that many of the Bryn Mawr
faculty members were to be found in
southwestern America during the sum-
mer. Equal to the number of those
succumbing to the lure of American
mountains and deserts, was the group
of faculty members who: spent the
summer abroad, either on short vaca-
tion trips, or on final tours of Europe
after a winter passed abroad on leave
of absence. One member of’ the col-
lege became so enarifored of Switzer-
land that he refused to return to the
United States—Styx, to our intense
regret, will no longer be with us.

’ Mrs. Manning was in New Mexico
for six weeks, where she saw many
Bryn Mawr professors and alumnae.
Dr. and Mrs. Dryden set up house-
keeping in their trailer in her front
yard, and in Dr. Nahm’s back yard.
Mr. Manning went to California by
way of the Panama Canal, joining



Mrs. Mamning in San _ Francisco,
whither she had gone by train—“by
the quickest route.” Mr. and Mrs.

Manning motored through California,
and recall as the outstanding point
of that trip, the crossing of the Im-
perial Valley of California. Miss
Lehr and Miss Brady were also in
New Mexico. Dr. and Mrs. Nahm
spent the summer with Dr. Nahm’s
family and toured about to “see. all
the. sights.”

Dr. Miiller visited the Rocky Moun-
tain National Park, Boulder Dam, and
Honolulu; he saw the Grand Canyon,
enjoyed Arizona and New Mexico,
and examined the cliff-dwellings. He
went through Santa Fé and Kansas
City, where there is a new museum,
before returning to Bryn Mawr

through the southern states, of which

Georgia and Carolina were included
in his itinerary.

Dr. de Laguna was in Bryn Mawr
until: August, working on an article,
Knowing and Being, which is to be
published in the Philosophical Review.
In August, Dr. de Laguna went out
to Wyoming to join her son, who is
doing geology work for his disserta-
tion at Harvard. With her son and
his wife, a Bryn Mawr graduate of
the class of ’32, Dr. de Laguna went

‘|on camping trips and “helped geolo-

gize.” :

Haverford Freshmen Mob College

On Friday night any one who
chanced to be journeying to the vil-
lage after supper encountered a large
swarm of Haverford College fresh-
nien having a cheer practice and some
sort of mass mobilization outside Rock-
erfellet Hall. The only flaw in the
proceedings was that they were giv-
ing Bryn Mawr cheers and forming
large circlés around such unfortunate
females as they chanced to encounter.



When the tumult and the shouting}|~
died we learned that they were Visit-

ing us as part of disciplinary meas-
ures imposed by upperclassmen. We
are sure it was all inthe spirit of
good, clean fun, but during the mo-
merits when we were beirig more or

Goodhart, October 3.—The compat:
atively few changes in courses were
announced in Chapel by Mrs. Manning
and the college was reminded of soe
of the new elective courses described
last spring.- Mrs. Manning also ex-
plained the college rules for written
work, andssaid that the college hopes
to get paid work for some’ students
from the Federal Youth Administra-
tion, ‘

Dr. Bernheimer’s course in German
Art will meet on Tuesday and Thurs-
day at two, and will be an elec-
tive, not ah advanced, course. The
elective course in Greek ‘Literature
will meet on Monday and Thursday
at three. Miss Koller’s hew writing
eourse, open particularly to Sopho-
mores, will be similar to Miss Meigs’
Experimental Writing course. No
special style will be cultivated, and
the course will be called Experimental
Writing, Division Two. It will. meet
on Thursday afternoons at two. The
Music Department is offering three
courses in the theory of music: Ele-
mentary Harmony, meeting Tuesday
and Friday at eleven; Elementary
Counterpoint, meeting Monday and
Thursday at two; and Advanced Har-
mony, meeting on Friday at ten’ and
occasionally on Thursday at three.
Dr. Veltmann’s course in the Philos-
ophy of Nature is an elective open
only ‘to students who have had some
philosophy and science. It will meet
on Tuesday and Friday at twelve. In
the regular philosophy classes the
conference hours are being planned so
as not to conflict with other classes,
since the conferences should be attend-
ed by all students.

The college rules on written work
are usually explained by the wardens
ta/the Freshmen, but there are ‘spe-
cial difficulties which must be clearly
understood. The fact that college
work is different from school work
often causes misunderstanding, as
does the fact that students who miss
lectures often copy, quite legitimately,
the notes of another. College work,
however, consists mainly in “digest-
ing” the words of another, or putting
their thoughts into one’s own words,
and this must be an individual proc-
ess. One’s own understanding of
books and one’s own observations in
the science laboyatories are neces-
sary, though ont’s own ideas are not
essential. The process of reducing
books to a simpler form is the opposite
of the procedure in a Ph. D, thesis,
in which one must quote accurately.
Whether the task be one of digesting,

World Must Take Middle Path
Between Rash Extremists,
. Says Miss ‘Park

DRIVE FUND INCREASES

Goodhart, October 1.—The fifty-
first year of Bryn Mawr College be-
gan today with a warning and a chal-
lenge. President Park in her chapel
address called the ordinary year at
Bryn Mawr “satisfactory rather than
eventful; as historical material, “hard
on the historian.” But, she specified,
this year of 1935-1936 is to be no
ordinary one.

Although our corn» of the world
may be tranquil, the rest of it is in
an increasing turmoil. Consequently
our future when we leave this tran-
quility becomes increasingly doubtful,
for “that future, both near and dis-
tant, depends on political and _ eco-
nomic events whose nature and out-
come no one sees to the end.” While
we are still beyond “the violence, the
panic, or the suffering, which makes
normal thinking impossible,” we must
surely clear our thoughts on the prob-
lems ahead of us and determine on a
sane course of conduct and action.
America is, however, not accustomed
to such thinking and acting; we as.a
nation have not liked the discipline of
coéperative thinking, with its argu-
ment and discussion; and what think-
ing we have done, we have failed to
connect with personal action. There-
fore we now lack any sure technique
with which to meet even the simplest
of the complex problems facing us.

There are two easy philosophies
which even the untrained can follow
if they will——either conservatism or
radicalism. One clings completely to
the past; the other breaks with it
completely, yet, the methods and emo-
tionalization of. both are similar, and
in history, one has almost always
given birth to the other. Many think-
ing people, however, have hoped that
civilization could advance on a mote
reasonable middle line, but these sane
observers have often stopped with
hoping, where extremists of both sides
have taken aggressive action.

Most of us belong to this middle
party, and it is imperative for us to
realize that our day is over unless we
apply our theories to actual practice,’

Senior Students Favor
Junior Year In France



The practice of allowing certain
French majors to take their Junior
Year in France is a well-established

one and is worthy of, some notice.

Last year two girls from Bryn Mawr
joined the Delaware Group, made up ,
of some thirty-five juniors from many
colleges all over the country. These
two, Alethea Avery and Helen Kel-
logg, have returned with a boundless
enthusiasm for their junior year and
some interesting comments on it as
well. :

The Group spent September and
November in Tours, working atthe
Institut de Touraine. They~were di-
vided at first into two groups de-
pending on their. college standing.
The groupe supérieure were allowed
to attend more advanced courses; but
for both groups the groundwork at
Tours meant a_ review of grammar
with some t6mposition. The work at
the Sorbonne in Paris, which they be-
gan in November, was more advanced,
particularly for the groupe supérieure,
who wefe admitted to the Cours de
Faculté as opposed to the Cours de
Civilisation, which is for foreigners
only and therefore presupposes a
much less comprehensive knowledge
of Fretich. Besides the formal courses
the Delawafe Group pfovides private
instruetion to supplement the courses.
The work done by the members of the
Group is only a part of this activity.
The Group provides tickets for the-
atfes, coricéfts and exhibitions and -
gives its membérs an opportunity to
learn beforehand about what they are

There’s Still Tiel

On November first and second Bryn Mawr will celebrate its fiftieth
birthday. The-“party” will include many of the greatest figures in the world

“of American education and the heads of many learned societies who are

coming here to pay tribute in two-day formalities to one of. the brightest
records in the history of education for women. Fifty years ago we were a
bold, possibly an admirable, essay; now a thousand prominent people will
convene to celebrate a half-century of success and close adherence to the
It is very pleasant to reflect on the glories and
attainments of our college to be celebrated so admirably next month. -But it
is rather pathetic that when we have sought so rigorously after truth and
knowledge, led so often the struggle toward better work and keener study,
and contributed so materially to education for women, that in the moment of
triumph we should be hampered by lack of funds. The Million Dollar
Drive, begun a year ago by the Alumnae as an anniversary gift to the college,
is as yet far short of its goal. In spite of their consistent efforts, the loyal
Alumnae have been unable to raise the vast sum which they set as their
objective and which the college should have if it is to push ahead as always.
The Alumnae and the Committee have worked with almost superhuman
zeal and energy to procure the new science building and the new wing on the
library which are vital to Bryn Mawr. ‘They deserve all the praise and
congratulations that can be showered upon them for obtaining’ as large an
amount as they have already. With only four weeks until the formal pres-
entation of the funds, they are still relentlessly pursuing their objective,

‘determined to reach it eventually. The undergraduates can support their

splendid predecessors by cheering them on, by donating moré themselves and
hy sending out to friends the cry: “Give to the Drive.”



Clear Decks!

One of the most challenging ideas advanced by Miss Park in her open-
ing address to the college was the statement that if people of liberal thought
hope to accomplish anything in a world so full of conflict and disorder,
they must be able to act as well as to think. We often tend to regard a college
education as training us to think in a clear and unprejudiced way. That is
indeed one of its great purposes, but we must not allow training for action
to be completely forgotten.

The academic work is, of course, the most important factor in teaching
us to think accurately. It is the general train of life at college, however,
which advances our understanding of steps to real action most greatly. The
Freshmen have been hearing how college life differs from that in school ever
since they arrived on the campus, but the difference is worth stressing because
in the proper understanding of it lies the kernel of the adaptation of the
mind to clear thinking and wise action.

Bryn Mawr is justly pfoud of the independence which it accords to all
its students not only in the management of their scholastic work, but also in
the enjoyment of their social affairs. To achieve the most with this freedom
the new students especially must guard against abusing it.
be cultivated in order to avoid going to extremes which lead to unsatisfactory
results.

The cut system is one of-the first places where thoughtlessness can get
the best of one’s ‘wiser nature. It is best to profit: by the experience of
others who have found that failure to organize their-work carefully and to
budget their time leads inevitably to a great deal too much cutting around
quiz and examination time. Nothing is more alarming to the few faithful

ones than to come into class during these hectic periods and find only rows’

of empty desks and here and there a few lonely individuals trying to carry
on the work of the class. We have found that it does not pay to let work
in one course fall behind while time is spent on others, because eventually
everything else will have to be dropped and classes will have t to be cut in

. order to get ready for a quiz in the neglected subject. .

The same need for moderation carries over into the field of extra-curri-
cular activities. Acquiring a wide range of interests in college helps one to
keep from having that narrowness of mind and lack of concern for the

students come and go, attend classes
or take examinations, entirely accord-
ing to their desires, apparently. Be-
sides German language, she also took
the required lectures in German
propaganda which are a part of all
curricula there. Mary Askins and
Bertha Hollander contented them-
selves with the King’s English and
History, but had a glorious time with
it at Cambridge. The joys of break-
fast in bed at any desired hour still
fill them with longing for the pleas-

ant rigors of an’ English education, « |
‘Mary Howe de Wolfe and Nancy Foss” - :



studied some German, but much bicye-
ling in the hilly land near Graz in
Austria. They found that American
tennis clothes attracted too much at-
tention,- and were forced to adopt
native dress to avoid the limelight.
Janet Horsburgh took a fascinating
North Cape cruise followed by a week
in Moscow, whose feature was the
new Russian theatre. She was con-
tinually amazed by_ the universal
sombreness of the Russian counten-
ance. After being presented at the
English court, Huldah Cheek also took
a North Cape cruise. She later inves-
tigated inland Scandinavia and found
that, unfortunately, the rainy season
extends throughout. the summer.
Among those who imperyilled . human

Barbara Longcope spent six delightful
weeks in London with her cousin, Ruth
Draper, during the latter’s engage-

Italy in their summer’s itineraries,

time in rural Brittany, whose charms
enthralled her entire family.

Varsity Hockey Team
Faces Unsure Future



Second Team Downs C.C. Blacks
In Opening, Unofficial Game
By Small Score



OLD ‘STANDBYS RETURN



“The prospects for Varsity squad
are good,” say those who know. But
even “those who kg” have but a
vague knowledge as yet; for the two
practices indulged in so far have had
much of that _first°of-the-season
aspect, when people do not show them-
selves in their best light.

-_Lisa*Gratwick, Elizabeth Kent, and

-Betty Faeth have left holes on. the

Varsity team that will be hard to fill.
is much
promising material from list ycar’s
second team as well as from the
freshman class. Dave Bakewell is
more than likely to replace Faeth or
Larned at one of the ‘insid2 posts.
Seltzer and Peg Evans are in the run-
ning for one of the backfield positions:.
And. we are also glad to see Lou
Bright with us once more, putting in
her bid for a a half- or fullback post.

Wilder antk@eckel, of the classes of
37 and ’38, respectively, have recently
joined the ranks of the Varsity squad:
The Freshmen that have appeared
best so far are D. Marshall, Stoddard,
A. J. Clark, Martin, Eide and Belin;
but there is still a good chance that
there may be more as yet undiscov-
ered.

Besides all these we have seen many
of our old standbys disporting them-
selves on the lower hockey field dur-
ing the last week. Taggart, Cary,
Cc. C: Brown, Bridgman, S. Evans
and Peggy Jackson of last year’s Var-
sity, and also, besides the aforemen-
tioned P. Evans, Bakewell, and Selt-
zer, we have Harrington, Raynor, Ask-
ins, Carpenter, M. Morgan, Sue Wil-
liams, and Leighton.

The hockey season started off on
Monday, October 7, when the Bryn
Mawr second team defeated the Phila-
delphia Cricket Club Blacks in an un-
official game by the score of 1-0. It
was unofficial because the Cricket
Club could only produce eight play-
ers and Bryn Mawr filled in with her
own substitutes.

The game started slowly and rather
badly, but grew better__as_—it_pro-
gressed. From the very beginning
Bryn Mawr clearly had the edge on
her opponents, as it was in the attack-
ing half of the field the greater pro-
portion of the time. The backfield
played nicely, getting in some neat
stickwork, clean hits and good combi-
nation. But although the backs kept
the. team on the offensive, the fort
wards seemed unable to score. The
play in the circle was slow, shots
were seldom rushed, and there were
few good hits from the edge of the
circle. The forwards seemed inclined
to muddle with each other; and, al-
though there was some nice individual
play, the teamwork was not good.

-That, however, will doubtless come

when they have had a chance to prac-
tice together as a team.

Leighton’s goal was menaced only
once or twice during the game, wher.
Helen Howe had broken away and
carried the ball all the way down the
field. But Gertrude managed to de-
fend it successfully; and Bryn Mawr
was not séored against. Hasse tallied
one point, from a scrimmage in the
circle near the end of the first half,
constituting the only score of the day.

Flock South,
West During Summer

Facult



Continued from Page Oné

Of those professors who crossed the
ocean for the summer, Dr. Miller took
one of the most interesting trips, a
journey through Russia. He says of
his vacation:

“Going to Russia seems to create a
thrill such is connected with a trip to
no other part of the world. This is
partly a holdover from Czarist times,
and partly because it is supposed to
be a daring and quasi-improper ad-
venture which comparatively few peo-
ple have made, though the number is
increasing rapidly. I was there
twenty-five years ago and again ten
years ago, and went this time merely
to’ get a superficial glimpse of the
changes.

“One of the great pleasures of this
trip was the company of rare people
who went with Mrs: Miller and me.
Those who travel with ordinary. peo-
ple must get a very different impres-
sion of Russia. Besides three friends
of mine there were, Peggy Little,
Joan Hopkinson, Diana Morgan and
Ruth Davy, who started immediately
after they graduated in June. We
prefaced the trip with a week in Lon-
don ,which included the Ascot Races
and the Aldershot Tattoo. I must
admit that two of the girls lost money
on the races. Then we had two days
in Finland before reaching Leningrad.
The conviction that civilization had
been left behind at the Finnish border
was shaken the first night at the opera
and completely shattered when we got
into the oversized, de luxe sleeping
car for Moscow. The young people
felt that they should sit up all night
to admire the car.

“In Moscow, in addition to the
sights, thanks to letters of introduc-
tion from Dr. Kingsbury, and other
connections, we ‘talked for hours on
end to Russians and Americans liv-
ing in Russia. ,My only frustration
was in the effort to get the girls to
get enough sleep. After days that
began at nine A. M. and lasted until
more or less after midnight they in-
sisted on taking walk; that lasted an

exciting to waste time sleeping. We
saw a good deal of Moscow for ten
days, and then had four days on the
Volga with various stops at towns
which we proudly claim that we can
pronounce. In fact we all learned
the Russian alphabet, but none of us,

guistic prodigy, was ever sure of get-
ting a sign pronounced in the time it
‘ook an automobile to pass it. |
“The intellectually strenuous part
six weeks. The last half was of ab-
sorbing interest because of its va-
riety and picturesqueness: great fac-

sand acres of wheat were being har-
vested, a picnic in the Cacausus
Mountains, a typhus scare. The trip
over the Cacausus by the Georgian
Military Highway is unsurpassed by
any scenery in the world. Tiflis is
the center from which the multitude
of Georgian princes -and princesses
have come to America to overawe oul
democratic hearts. The Black Sea
i full of ancient and modern history,
and parts of the Crimea have a beauty
‘hat almost makes one gasp.

“At Odessa, Peggy, Joan, and Ruth
left. us to go to Istambul, but since
they went on a Soviet boat they had

a prolongation of Russian: experience.

The rest of-us went to Kiev and out
by Warsaw. Mrs. Miller and I spent

.|a wéek in Czechoslovakia with which

I have had long associations. ‘I came
‘back to give a lecture at the Williams-
town Institute on Human Relations

in coloring of the vessel, and by the
large numbers of people who were on
board.“ On the seventeenth of June,
Mile. Soubeiran- represented Bryn
Mawr College’ at the Victor Hugo
celebration at the Sorbonne. She re-
mained in Paris until the end of July,
after which she toured southern Ger-
many and visited the Salzburg Festi-
val, where nearly everyone was wear-
ing Austrian costumes, whether or not
he was an Austrian... Mlle. Soubeiran
returned to southern France for two
weeks by way of the Tyrol and -Obe-
rammegau, before coming back to
America. . In ‘spite of her crowded
itinerary, Mlle. Soubeiran managed to
get some research: work done.

Dr. Taylor returned from leave of
absence, when she was Acting Profes-
sor in charge at the School of Clas-
sical Studies of the American . Acad-
emy at Rome. She was in charge of
work of the classical fellows and stu-
dents, directed research, conducted ex-
cursions and lectured. Dr. Taylor
spent much time in Rome on research
work, reworking her thesis on. the
Cults of Ostia. The summer of 1934
was spent in England and Scotland,
until she went to Rome. During the
year, Dr. Taylor traveled a great deal,
often with student: groups, and spent
two weeks in Sicily. Dr. Lattimore,
of the Greek department, who was a
fellow at the American Academy -at
Rome, and Miss Marti frequently went
on these excursions. Dr. Taylor ac-
quired a small Italian car, equipped
with four gears and capable of climb-
ing practically any height, and went
on a number of two-day trips. She

‘was surprised at the small number of

tourists in Italy, especially as the drop
in the dollar did not make living and
traveling’ so expensive as one might
think. a

Miss Marti is another member of
the faculty who had leave of absence
last year. She was a student at the
American Academy at Rome, and
there did research work on a manu-
script of Arnulfus. She spent last
in. Switzerland, working on
another manuscript. Miss Marti went
to Greece for a month, stayed two

weeks in Sicily in December, and en-|}
joyed three weeks of ski-ing in Swit-|.-

zerland.

A number of professors spent the
summer in England, either doing, re-
search work or traveling about the
country. Miss Woodworth was work-

ing at Newnham College, Cambridge, | |

for most of the summer, although she
spent some time in London. On th«
first of September her work on The
Literary Career of Sir Samuel Egev-
ton Bridges was published by
Blackwood at Oxford. “Miss Donnelly
divided her summer between England
and the Italian Alps. Miss Stapleton
was in England and France. Miss
Glen spent the past year in England,
and Miss Lake was in that country for
the month of August.

mer here in Bryn Mawr, converting a

barn into a house, getting-up at seven |

cal Science Review. Dr: Wells’ secorid
article, The Liquidatton of the Ger-
wan Linder, will be published soon,
and his third article, National Social-
ist Municipal Economy, will be pub-

Miss Koller was at Johns Hopkins
University this summer, working on
the Variorum Edition of Edmund
Spenser. -Dr. Gilman spent half of
her summer here, preparing a book on
Baudelaire, and the other half in
Maine. Dr. Swindler spent all sum-
mer, with the éxception, of a two
weeks’ visit to North Carolina, in Bryn
Mawr; she announces «the. recent
acquisition’ of Caesar, an infinitesmal
dog. Dr. and Mrs. Smith stayed here
working, as did Dr. Broughton.



Honors Books, Week-End
Library Rules Changed



There are. several changes in. the
general rules of the Library; both as
regards the removal of books from: the
Stacks and from the Reserve Room.
The Library wishes students to know
the new rules and to aid in putting
‘them into force. The changes have
been made in order to make the secur-
ing of books simpler and more certain
for the majority of those using them.

1. Honor students may not take
more than one-half of the books on one
subject out at one time.

2. Honor students may not take
books out for an indefinite period of
time. They may take them for a
month at a time with the privilege
of renewal if they are not needed by
some one else.

3. Students may take books out for
the week-end on Friday at 1 P. M.,
PROVIDED that they have not been re-
served for use at any time during the
week-end. All books taken for the
week-end must be returned by 8.30

A. M. Monday morning. This privi- |

lege does not apply during examinz-
tion periods.

4. All books removed from reserve
for the night must be returned by
8.30 A. M. on weekdays and by 9.00
A. M. on Saturdays and Sundays.



Senior Students Favor
Junior Year in France



Continued from Page One

The members of the Group live}







with French families and are able to
absorb at first hand, therefore, some
of the famed “culture” which Europe
has always represented. This .is al-
most the only opportunity the students
have for perfecting their French. One
may take a course at the Jnstitut de
Phonétique for improving one’s pro-
nounciation, but apparently few of the
‘members avail themselves of this.
There is also little supervision’ or
training in composition either here or .
in’ France, which handicapped the
Bryn Mawr girls to a certain extent.

Anyone who has lived abroad will
understand the feeling of these Dela-
ware Group members that they have
grown two yéars older at least in this
one year. Every phase of their ex-
perience contributes toward this. They
work more independently ; they com-» :
pete with a coeducational group that
is hand-picked in the extreme; they
have a unique opportunity of observ-
ing history in the making from an
entirely different point of view. The
contact with people of anothér na-
tionality. is pefhaps the most valuable
part of the year.

Miss Park Announces
Changes In Faculty



Numerous Fellows and ‘Scholars
Are Working Here, Abroad
This Winter :

FUND FOR MUSIC GIVEN

Goodhart, October 1. Miss Park
announced in chapel that Mr. I. A.
. Richards will be ‘the Flexner lecturer
for this winter and told of the sev-
eral changes which have been made
in the faculty. She stated that the
enrollment of graduates and under-
graduate students in this, the fiftieth
year of Bryn Mawr’s history, is the
second Jargest number in its. half-
century of life. Miss Park also gave
news of Bryn Mawr scholars who are
working here and abroad ‘and de-
scribed the four gifts which have
been made to the College this fall. .

In the faculty lists, siight shifts
have been» made. Professor Taylor
of the Department of Latin returns
from a year spent as Acting Profes-
sor in charge of the American Aca-
demy at Rome; Professor Forest
from her Sterling Fellowship in Edu-
cation at Yale, and Miss Glen from
a year of recuperation in England.
Professor King, is now in Spain, and
Dr. Herben and Miss Robbins are
settled in the British Museum.” Pro-
fessor Wheeler and Professor Rogers
have leave of absence for the -year
because of poor health. Three new
professors begin work at the: Col-
lege: Mr. Alister Cameron, of Col-
umbia and Edinburgh Universities,
and Mr. Richmond Lattimore (Ph.D.
University of Illinois and Classical
Fellow at the American Academy in
Rome last year) in Greek; and in
French, M. Jean Guiton (Diplome
d’Etudes Supérieures 1931, and for
the last three years a member of the
Literature Division at Bennington
College). Mr. Nathan Jacobson of
Princeton University and the Insti-
tute for Advanced Study at Prince-
ton is appointed Lecturer in Mathe-
; matics, and Miss Katharine McBride
(Ph.D. Bryn Mawr), Lecturer in
Education.

The Mary Flexner Lecturer this
year is Mr. I. A. Richards, the fel-
low of Magdalene College, Cam-
bridge, the author of Principles of





Literary Criticism, Science and
Poetry, Coleridge on Imagination,
etc. The six weeks of his residence

will be built firmly into the gradu-
ate and undergraduate work of the
English Department which is— invit-
ing him here, but’ he will give pub-

search program



v , saa .
fic lectures as well during the first

six weeks of the second semester on
“The Interpretation of Prose.” Mrs.
Richards, who will accompany him
is a great mountaineer, and she may
be induced by the Athletic Associa-
tion to tell of her climbs in the Alps.
From Bryn Mawr they will both go
to China to confer on the problem
of Basic English which is interesting
both China and Russia.

As for the list of students at Bryn
Mawr, it is fuller than in any year
of its history except’ 1929. In the
graduate school are twenty-two fel-
lows, thirty-three scholars, and forty-
two commoners. Two are Europeans,
the -Mary Paul Collins Foreign
Scholar in Biology, Hedda Nuden-
skélt, University of Stockholm 1934
and research assistant at the Plant
Breeding Institute, Syalov, since
April. 1934; and Paquerette Nasse

arship Committee has this year given
us in addition to an undergraduate,
a graduate Chinese Scholar, Grace
Chin Lee, A. B. Barnard 1935, who
is preparing herself for university
teaching in China. Wandering
scholars have returned: Censtance

after spending one year as Franco-
American Exchange Scholar at the
Sorbonne and a second year as Gov-
ernment Scholar at the University
of Florence; and Mary Chalmers

Exchange Scholarship at the Uni-
versity of Vienna. Dr. Melba Phil-
lips, Research Associate and Instruc-
tor in the University of California

and a special group has been ap-
pointed to carry on a graduate re-
under Professor
Tennent on Cell Division and its
Experimental Control. Miss Nuden-
skélt will take part in this work as
will Frances Stilwell, fellow in Bi-
ology, A.B. and M.A. Smith College,
and _ successively j/ Assistant, Instruc-
tor, and Assistant Professor in the

at Oxford; Elizabeth Monroe, Bryn
Mawr European Fellow °1935 at
Newnham. College, Cambridge, and
Josephine Williams, Bryn Mawr
European Fellow of 1933 at the Uni-
versity of Hamburg. Elizabeth
Mackenzie, Bryn Mawr European
Fellow of 1934, has won a grant
from Newnham, a feat in face of
excellent English competition, which
will make it possible for her to stay
a second year and complete her work
for the B. Litt. degree. Catherine
Robinson holds a. Franco-American
Exchange Fellowship awarded by the
Institute of International Education

‘for study at the Sorbonne; and Emily

Katharine Tilton holds a_ similar

Four gifts have been made to the
college during the summer. - Mrs.
Alba Johnson has given for use in
one “of the special libraries in’ the
science building the beautiful carved
tables and chairs from her husband’s
office, and Dr. George Wagoner has
given the valuable medical books from’

America, if capital and labor come to
final blows, if propaganda overwhelms
truth and free speech, or if the racial
difficulties of a nationalistic world at
last demand solution. Our business
as non-extremists “‘is to get facts, and
so. to toughen our fibre that the chal-
lenge which’ outrageous international
affairs, national affairs, and local af-
fairs make to us can be met.” This
is our btisiness all our lives, and it is
algsd the immediate goal of education:
“the collecting, the testing; the codrdi-
nating of facts, and the exercising of
the mind till it can force its way
through complexities to arrive at di-
rect and honest action. To such a
goal, we must direct ourselves this
year. The.non-extremist, not in aca-
demic repose but in action, has a fight-
ing chance of saving the democratic
state.”

Not only because of the present
crisis is this year extraordinary, but
also because of past history. Fifty
years ago this fall, Bryn Mawr Col-
lege began, with thirty-seven under-
graduate students, eight graduates,
~ and eight young and green professors.
Taylor Hall alone housed the Bryn
Mawr library, the science Iaboratorics,
the class rooms, and the chapel. But

bustles and high, flowered hats have

transformations the academic years
have kept a .steady course, joining
bold plans to sound excellence; and
yesterday’s Bryn Mawr is today’s
likewise.

During the summer, too, the Fif-
tieth Anniversary , Gift has grown,
until the toial is now $551,000. To
have accomplished so much already is
a remarkable feat.in «these trying
times, and is also assurance that the
goal of $1,000,000 will be reached: in
the: end. Meanwhile, plans for the
coming celebration are being made.
The official exercises will take place
in Goodhart on the morning of Sat-
urday, November second. The audi-
ence will be composed of the presi-
dents of all the women’s colleges and
of our neighbors among the men’s
colleges, members of the early facul-
ties:at Bryn Mawr now at other col-
leges and universities, the heads of
schools which send graduates to Bryn
Mawr, friends to whom the college has
been a concern, the present Bryn
Mawr faculty, the Alumnae officials,
and all the members of the first four
classes. The academic procession will
be headed by two doctors of phi-
losophy, two masters of arts, and two
from each of the fifty college classes
in Bryn Mawr’s history from 1889 to
1939, representing the 7000 or more
women who have passed through
Bryn. Mawr. The four speakers will



be: . President. Conant of Harvard,
representing men’s colleges and uni-
vorsities; President Comstock of Rad-

cl:ffe, representing colleges for
womeit In particular; President Bow-
man of Johns Hopkins as the ‘institu-
tion which stood closest to Bryn Mawr
at its start both in counsel and ‘in
pattern; and_ President - Emeritus
Thomas as the centre and core of
Bryn Mawyr’s history and its char-
acter.

On Friday evening, November first,
and again on Saturday evening, Bryn
Mawr history will be set forth by the
President, with the aid of pictures on
the screen, historical songs in _his-
torical costumes by groups from the
Glee Club, and a monologue which
Cornelia Otis Skinner is writing and
wili give herself, painting the girl
who ventured to enter Bryn Mawr in
1885. The first performance on Fri-
day will be given for the guests of
the college who will form the audience
at the official exercises, and the sec-
ond on Saturday evening will be for
all undergraduates and graduate stu-
dents and for alumnae not included in
the earlier invitation. On Saturday
afternoon’ the M. Carey Thomas
Award’ of $5000 to an American
woman for eminent achievement—last
given to Miss Jane Addams—will be
given to the woman chosen by the
Award Committee.



Bryn Mawr Beauties Observed

Bryn Mawr has been observed from
all possible angles and points of view
in the last year by Vogue, Fortune,
and House Beautiful, but we wonder



what. will appear as a result of the
recent. visit’ of Madame French journalist who is spending a
few weeks in America? She is here
on thé trail of the beauty secrets of
the American woman, especially those
relating to the preservation ,of the
figure. She came to Bryn Mawr fresh
from the Elizabeth Arden Camp _ in
Maine, and we hope that the contrast
was not too striking. Madame Au-
clair plans to inaugurate among
Frenchwomen. a system of exercises
which will add the finishing touch to
the beauty of the Parisiennes. " We
were particylarly delighted to learn
that. Madame Auclair;. who, judging
from her own appearance, is a con-
noisseur of good looks, much admires
our American complexions. She was
disappointed and even scandalized to
learn that soap and water is consid-
ered here the most successful cleans-
ing lotion. She was also surprised
that we found it possible to endure the
company of our own sex exclusiyely
on occasions such as :political lunch-
eons, et al.

Madame Auclair is investigating as
w Sideline la vie sentimentale 6f#
American girls. Unfortunately she
was rather reticent on her discoveries,
and we have yet to learn how Bryn
Mawr contributed to this ph@pe of her
study:



German Day Exercises Planned

The students of Bryn Mawr, Haver-
ford, Washington and the. University
of Delaware are cordially invited to
the German Day exercises to be held
at Wilmington on Monday, Octcber



21, in commemoration of the ianding
of the first German settlers in Amer-
ica. “The invitation includes dinner at
the Hotel Dupont at .six and admis-
sion to the exercises in“the German
Hall of Wilmington.

. Each of the college groups is asked
to participate in the program with
recitations or songs in German, and
will be given ten-minutes in which to
perfom. Hessler, Inc., of Wilming-
ton, has offered three prizes to be
awarded to the contesting groups.
The first is $50, the second, $35,. and
the third, $15. If Bryn Mawr wins
one of the prizes it will be:given to
the. Anniversary Fund.

The Bryn Mawr program is being
worked up by Mrs. Diez and Mrs.
Jessen, and will consist of folk-songs.
At present those planning to go are:
Ruth Atkiss, Caroline Brown, Beth
Busser, May Chow, , Beatrice Green-
wald, Sophie Hemphill, Bertha Hol-
lander, Janet Horsburgh, Ingeborg
Jessen, Emily Johnson and Mary Lee
Powell.

Tuberculosis Survey

Tests Show Earlier Infection:
X-Rays to Check Possible

Disease Present

HALF REACT POSITIVELY

Eepecially Contributed by Dr. Leary
In recent years there has been in-
creasing recognition of the fact that
tuberculosis in its very early stages
cannot usually be diagnosed by phy-
sical examination alone. Yet it is of
the greatest importance to make a
diagnosis at the earliest possible mo-
ment, because the patient may be
saved years of- incapacity and great
expense when the presence of the dis-
ease is recognized in its earliest
stages. Accordingly, more and more
colleges thoroughout the country are
including a tuberculosis survey in the
work of theit medical departments.

X-ray pictures will show the pres-
ence of shadows in tuberculosis of the
lungs long before anything abnormal
can: be detected in the chest by phy-
sical examination. Many colleges
X-ray the entering class routinely and
require further X-ray check-ups in in-
dividual cases as may be necessary.

It is, however, possible to determine
by means of the tuberculin test which
individuals have been infected by the
tubercle bacillus (the cause of tubereu-
losis) and which have not; and when
this procedure is carried out, it is only







necessary to X-ray those who have at|

some time in their lives had an infee-
tion. The tuberculin test consists of

the introduction into the individual
to be tested of some of the protein
material,,derived from killed tubercle
bacilli, and the observation of the re-
sult. The culin, or material used
for the test here at Bryn Mawr was
given to us by the Henry Phipps In-
stitute and was’ made by a new
method permitting very careful stand-
ardization. It is thoroughly sterilized

before us, and is kept and used under

careful precautions to ensure con-
tinued sterility. A ‘measured amount
(0.1 cc.) is introduced into the skin
by a technique named for Mantoux,
its originator. If in forty-eight hours
there is redness and swelling at the
site of injection the test is said to be
positive, and if not it is negative.
Two doses are used as a precaution.
Bhe first dose is weak, and only those
who are. specially sensitive react to
it. They are thus spared the second
and stronger dose. A positive reac-
tion means only that the individual
has at some time in his life been in-
fected with tuberculosis. A positive

reaction does not imply that an indi-

vidual has any active tuberculosis ¢
present, as an ancient and heal

action, Further, the severity of the re-
action has, so far as is‘known at pres-
ent, no relation t
infection. This test has been. used in
thousands cases with no untoward
results. As the incidence of tubercu-
losis‘has decreased, thanks to more ef-
ective public health procedures, the
number of people who show positive

here, only 176, or 46.2 per cent,

eentage compares closely »with other
colleges in the vicinity. As this means
that only half the undergraduate body
needs to bé X-rayed, the procedure
was worth carrying out.
