Bryn Mawr Varsity

__Continues_ Successful}



Both Teams Defeat Mount St.
Joseph—Game’ Won After
Close Contest



GUARDS STOP DRIBBLES



On Saturday morning the Bryn
Mawr Varsity defeated the Mount
Saint Joseph teams, 34-19 and 25-17.

Bryn Mawr started out on the de-
fensive against its opponents’ fast
passing, but the guards soon seemed
able to manage the speed and team-
work by intercepting before the for-
wards got under the basket. A few
direct passes through the center and
down to the, Varsity forwards gave
Bryn Mawr the needed ‘encouragement
and defense was abandoned ‘in favor
of a steady.and. consistent offense in
the center and forward courts. Dur-
ing the second quarter, after the
score had see-sawed back and forth
continually Varsity pulled away into
a lead which she never relinquished,
though there were many exciting mo-
ments during the second-half when it
looked as though’ the Saint Joseph
team had found the shooting range
of the basket, and when a_ sudden
spurt of fast passing looked danger-
ous. The guards, however, were on
their toes waiting to intercept and
break up dribbles, and, on the whole,

they were successful, mainly because

the opposing .team used so many
passes to get into scoring position.

Bryn Mawr’s defeat of the Saint
Joseph team makes the prospects for
a-win over the Rosemont team |seem
even brighter. Time will tell and the
breaks of the game may be against
us. Let’s hope not.

The line-up was as follows:

The Second Varsity was faced by
a comparatively stronger team than
was the first Varsity, especially in
the guard section. Though Bryn
Mawr took an immediate offensive at-
tack, to lead by ten points at the end
of the half, Smith’s absence in the
second half forced the Varsity on the
defense and Mt, St. Joseph managed
to score ten of its points in this per-
iod to Varsity’s four. Many substi-
tutions by the opposing team also
made it a bit difficult for the forwards
to maintain a consistent teamwork
-and a sigh of relief went up when
the final whistle blew and the game
came to an end. A few more minutes
and the St, Joseph team would prob-
ably have evened up the score. Bish-
_ op and Jarrett were sadly missed, but
we ‘must congratulate both Wash-
burn and Smith for their excellent
work against a strong forward combi-
nation.

“The life into which students of to-
day are being led,” said Dr. Henry
N. MacCracken, President of Vassar
College, and a.member of the Board
of Advisers of the National Student
Federation, in a recent address be-
fore the New York Alumnae of the
college, “is not one in which there is

‘ any- demand for their services as indi-
dividuals. The powers of the mind,
in flexibility, concentration, imagina-
tion and energy, are now required, in
this changing world, with the ability
to go on one’s own steam rather than
specialized vocationalism.” The func-
tion of education is to follow rather
than lead, he said—(N.S. F. A.) —

though he rebelled against romantic-
ism, he was a poet and a romanticist
at heart, and it is significant that at
the end of his life, he tried to show in
the autobiographical When We Dead
Awaken that he had lost the ultimate
conveying of universal reality because
he had half sold himself to sociology.

The most important influence in the
theatre since Ibsen’ has been Chekov,
a member of the realistic school, who
suggested realism with exquisite’
touches of illumination. Stanislavsky,
the producer of his plays, managed to
put these moments of illumination into
the acting, for they depend on the
actors to be conveyed, while Shakes-
peare took the burden off the actors
and put his illuminating suggestions
into his poetry. This is why Chekov
is not always .appreciated.

Wagner is also important in the
theatre for having tried to put the
realm of aesthetics known to us
through the symphonies of the mas-
ters, into the theatre in the rational
terms of language. Without Wagner
there would have been no Russian bal-
let, for the Russian ballet tries to af-
fect the same alliance in terms of the
dance. As a young man, Wagner
wanted to wed the theatre and music:
Shakespeare and Beethoven. He
brought the quality of Beethoven into
the theatre, but he did not bring the
quality of Shakespeare. Shakespeare
was tied to Beethoven’s apron strings,
because Wagner was a great musi-
cian and the whole action of his
drama was internal and spiritual. The
whole drama takes places in terms
of music and of human life which

the puppets have to represent, so that'|
it transcends the theatre, as does King as
Lear, but’ it is still important ,be-||

cause it is trying to give articulate
expression to symphonic music.
Shakespeare’s great, glamorous,
magical phrases are in thé nature of
music also, and are attempting to ex-
plain the undertone of human life,

which Emerson calls the “over-soul.” ||

This is a far more difficult task for
the poet than for the composer, be-
cause the poet wérks in terms of ra-
tional language and speech. Shakes-
peare is universally great because his





achievesuccess. — Geographical loca-
tion is a very important. considera-
tion for the young professional at the
start of a career.

A college student, planning a pro-
fessional career which includes three
or four years of definite professional
training, has little time to waste in
thinking over arrangements. She
must decide on her plans now. The
best way to do this is to discuss the
matter with an older person. Miss
Park and Mrs. Manning are always
ready to give advice. Vocational guid-
ance is being worked out more and
more in the larger colleges and uni-
versities. - It is, however, difficult
without a separate bureau, and also
is less needed, unless the vocation is
regarded as part of a student’s aca-
demic training. Mrs. Manning be-
lieves in the right of young people to
change their minds. No kind of pro-
fessional guidance will prevent them
from doing so.



Authorities of Miami University
(Oxford, O.) have reported the theft
from their college library of St. Au-
gustine’s “Quotes Incunabulum,” pub-
lished in 1492, and “Plautus Come-
dies,” published in 1585.

To the Editor of the College News:

Dear Editor:

If we must -have required courses,
let us discriminate and not place Dic-
tion, Hygiene, and Body Mechanics
before the Bible. The Bible is, of
course, a cornerstone of our culture.
Therefore we cannot fully understand
or interpret our literature until we
know the Bible well. Until we have
studied it; we have omitted a. large
part of the world’s greatest litera-
ture and have no right to be critics.
We should have the Bible always in
our minds as a criterion of excellence
by which to estimate other literature.
A careful study of the Bible is in-
spiring not only to the mature liter-
ary student, but also to all types, to a
young mind that understands through
narrative; as well as to’ a mature
philosopher. The. Bible is not to be
read superficially and easily, yet how
many of us have only a superficial
knowledge of it. We are denying our-
selves a great experience by pretend-
ing that we have had it. ‘With a re-
quired course, at least we should all
be exposed to this experience.

Sincerely yours, -
EVELYN THOMPSON.



To the Editor of the College News:

I gather from reading last week’s
News that the faculty emerged from
their conference with the Curriculum
Committee on the. proposed system of
comprehensive examinations, with the




























idea that the undergraduates had no
serious objections to the new plan. I
|am_ convinced that-the-undergraduates—
are dissatisfied with the proposal, not
on the ground that it would involve
too much work, but becaues they are
‘doubtful of the wisdom of the theory
of education underlying it. I wish,
therefore, to make the following criti-
cisms and hope that they will ade-
quately express the unformulated dis-
trust of the new plan which we all
feel.

It is my personal belief that a col-~_
lege education should provide a sound,
thorough, informed, and _ intelligent
basis for future ‘specialization. It is |
becoming increasingly obvious that
further training is required after we
leave college in order to obtain a
worth-while job of any kind: an A.B.
no longer is the passkey to a responsi-
ble position, and is generally regarded
as merely the beginning of the neces-
sary training. For this reason alone,
if for no other, an A.B. should be the
certificate that there are approximate-
ly no loopholes in our education, and
that any further work we may choose
to do will be based_on a sound general
foundation.

For this purpose, the present system
of requireds, major and allies is too
