Italy Investigates. Bryn .

Mawr Campus Life
A year ago the News printed extracts
from a paper published in Tunisg con-
taining a Jyric description of a Christ-
* mas party at Bryn Mawr; last fall ap-
peared quotations from a Getman .paper
whigh. likewise ‘attertipted to give its sub-
-gscribers the dope on this remarkable col-
lege. But it is not enough that the jittle
Mohammedan * iis his tent-should ‘dream
of. the snows afd songs of Bryn Mawr;
Ben Akbar, and the close-cropped head
of ‘the young Teuton be filled with visions
of our charm. Our fame is still spread-
ing. \\We-recently.— receivedfrom—Dr;
Alice Hamilton, professor of the Har-
vard School’ of Public Health, who has
frequently spoken here in the past, a
copy of the Milanese Corriere Della Sera,
which contains an article extraordinarily
reminiscent of the German correspondent
on Bryn Mawr.\ It is by’Arnaldo Frac-
caroli, who seems\to have visited the col-
lege sometime last May. He was shown
over the premises hy a charming ‘and
smiling blonde, who left a deep impres-
sion on his susceptible\ Latin heart. He
holds up to the youthful Nictim of Fascist
restraint a.picture of perfect. liberty:
"The Améticans see no reason for hav-
‘ing in college less freedom than in the
family; and in the family there is’ abso-
‘lute liberty.”

The picture is most tering: “the
population. of this little city (meaning
the campus) -is' the most aimiable one
could imagine, They are all young ladies
from sixteen to twenty,. and they are
all attractive. The. unattractive, if there
‘are any, must live in retirement, for they
are not in sight.” The article goes on
to’ describe May scenes on the campus.
It sounds like a chorus from the Bac-+
chae. “Succinctly clothed in accordance
with the style and the mild season, legs
in- evidence; hair in the wind, -faces- of

_ youth. with ready and luminous smiles,
elastic step of girls habituated to sport,
fresh voices calling and uttering little
screams, they stretch on the grass to en-

joythe caress. of+the sun, disappear in
the court of some little palace, meditate

among the columns of the cloister.
Down from a balcony float the notes of
a piano, below in the-meadow two maid-
ens join arm in arm and begin to un-
dulate in the movements of a dance.”

So, we appear in. the eyes of. others.

The gym’is a “palazotto basso,” and
Penibroke is a mediaeval fortréss. The
smoking . ragm.-.is_ vividly described.

There you have us in our hours of
leisure. At other times, it appears we
study much, and seriously. “In some
schools. study is inflicted. like a punish-
ment. Here the object is to make it a

popular. Does this denote the growth’ of
laziness or the growth of civilization?
Be. that as it may, it almost seems as if
the authorities would soon have to count
music as a major or ‘an.ally if public
opinion means anything to them.

“Dusty Angwer” and “Men Without
Women” are only just beginning to grow
stale as the intellectual food of the col-
lege. For the.dast month or two they
have been read and discussed in every
place where two or three were gathered
together. A newcomer, fast catching up
to the others in: popularity, is “archy and
mehitable.” This*quaint philosophy seems
to have taken -the college by: storm “and
we advise evéryone who would not be a
social outcast to adopt “jamais triste” as

‘1a motto.

They say a stern chase is hard but
these new-fledged Marlboro cigarettes are
rapidly overhauling Lucky Strikes as the
favorites of the. fickle college girl. They
cost five cents more but'.the mildness of

ental leaf are. apparently worth the price.

Black velvet evening dresses reign this:

It is hard to tell’ whether the “No ‘Re-
quired Exercise” edict of May Day’ has
affected the popularity of athletics. So
far. the same people seem to do about, the
same number of periods.& week as when
exercise was required. However, the ma-
jority of the college seems to have a
igrowing “appetite for ftesh -aif; when-
ever we take our around-the-block: con-
stitutional we invariably meet squadrons
of others likewise bound: :

Bieycles are coming back. Barely a
year ago there was scarcely one to be
discovered on campus. Now, in the in-
tervals’ between blizzards, they are al-
most dangerously prolific. They scuttle
to Wallace’s at opportune moments,*they
are thrown brutally against the library
steps as the breathless owner (beggars,

deed they are very useful although per-
haps not ornamental. Does this resur-
rection of bicycling denote a reaction to-
wards Victorianism, a revulsion against
the excessive speed of modern life?» We
cannot venture to say.- Only when cro-
quet games spring--up-on Merion green
shall we really “believe that a definite
trend towards Victorianism has set in.



' Away From Hypocrisy.
The students at the University of Wis-

abandoned their student government.

atime the students got tired:of it and
decided to be. honest.
