Dr. Hart Works on
Hoover Committee

Sabbatical Spent in London and
Capital Deals With '
Social Trends. _

—_———

DEPRESSION DISCUSSED

Hart spent a part of his last



Dr.

year's sabbatical working in Washing-

ton- for “President Hoover’s Committee

on. Social Trends.” He was at the

head .of’ one of the thirty projects
which the committee: is conducting.

He was asked by Mr. W. F. Ogborn
whether it would be possible to de-
termine -any changes in quantitative
measures of changes since 1900, with re-
gard to such matters as the alleged de-
cline of belief in religion, the looseness of
morals, and the attitudes toward isola-
tion in the field of international politics,
and toward preparedness versus disarma-
ment. The report will be published in
the spring.

Dr. Hart dealt mostly with period-
ical literature atthe Library~ of Con-

“gress. He had a small staff and enjoyed

his work, approaching shelves of
bound volumes as “a geologist ap-

proaches the strata of the sarth’s . sur.

Dr. Hart spent the other part of his
sabbatical in London, doing work for

himself. He finds, however, _ that

Bryn Mawr, with its beautiful campus,
is also very favorable to work. His
book, The Technique of Social Progress,
which was published in September, is
the result of work done heré, and
might be called a general survey of
social trends, to which his studies for
President. Hoover provide an intensive
supplement, dealing as they do with
recent social trends on the socio-psycho-
logical side.

Although the depression is more an
economic than a social problem, Dr.
Hart’ said that his studies had given
him one slant: before the war there
was_.a great wave of-social-reform in
America. Afterwards, however, when
Europe went socialistic, we went in the
opposite direction; we adopted ‘the

Japanese Freshman
Describes Her College

It is always interesting to learn the
point of view of the foreign student
who has worked under educational
systems differing from those in Amer-
ica. Shizu Nakamuara, the Japanese
girl in the Freshman Class, describes
for the News the college from which
she came: ; :

“Before I came to America I was
in Tsuda College in Tokyo which was
founded thirty years ago by Miss Ume
Tsuda who had been‘“a student, and a
demonstrator in‘ the biological labora-
tory at Bryn Mawr. It has.now about
400° girts; and this fall it moved to the
suburbs of Tokyo, to the new.beautiful
buildings and campus, given by
alumnae and friends; but while I was
there the college was still in the city
and .more than half of the students
came from the city and its vicinity—
the dormitory was about a mile away
from-the campus. Therefore the main
college life went on during the day,
usually-from tine to thréé in the arrer-
noon, when the student went home.
We had ten minutes of recess every
hour and oné hour after lunch and we
utilized the time as much as we could,
discussing literature, philosophy, inter-
national relations, economics, sociol-
ogy, etc., as the courses of the college

Dean Explains Policy
on Which Orals Based

Since there has been a great deal of
misunderstanding about the orals Dean
Manning explained to the Junior
Class on Thursday the policy, on
which they are based.. The language
examinations were started with the
idea. that the French and German
Manguages should be known. by all
Bryn Mawr graduates. The student
had four chances to pass an oral ex-
amination in both during her Senior
year, Objections were raised after a
time that this spoiled the -student’s
Senior year at college, A new plan
was begun, based on the idea that the
burden should not be left until the
student’s Senior — year, Everyone
should have at least tried both exams
by the spring. of her Junior year and
passed by the fall of her Senior year.
Exceptions were made in borderline
cases on the condition that the Senior
attend a tutoring class and spend at
least two and one-half hours a week
in preparation for this class. The col-
lege gives this course out of the good-
ness of its heart, as it were, and every
student.is-expected to keep up with
‘the work, It-is~by this “plan that’ the
orals are.conducted. The college has
under its consideration requiring only
one modern language examination
from those who-entered--onGreekbut
this has not béen definitely decided.

Time Spent on Work

1930-31 Statistics Show Over-
Work; New Recording
Requested.

CHANGE QUIZ SCHEDULE



In chapel last Tuesday Mrs. Man-
ning made a statement of the number
‘of hours spent by each student on her
lessons for each week according to the

undergratuate statistics taken last

year. These statistics were made up

of students and showed about six hours
per week over what the Dean's office
expects the students to spend on work.
Mrs. Manning said that it would be
advisable to take off this extra work-
ing time if the College expects to keep
up its physical education and extra
curriculum activities. It is also quite
obvious that the student who studies
continuously does hér work far less
perfectly than the one who takes time
for recreation. er pee
These statistics also seemed to mean
that: more work was put on certain
courses than was allowed them. Last
year with the new schedule there may
Pfiave ‘been some overwork due to the
fact, that harder combinations of
courses were taken, although there may
not have been any change. in the ac-
“Theres are two points which I
should like to bring up this morn-
j ing,” continued Mrs. Manning, “and
they--are the-two things we have been
working for recently.” First, the
Dean's office is desirous of ~making
all the first year courses of the same
difficulty. It would like to have the
students spend the same amount of
time on Freshman: English that’ they
do on First Year History and so forth.
Secondly there is a new: quiz schedule
going into effect this year whereby they
are all finished by the Thanksgiving
vacation, Unfortunately it is only the
good and fortunate students who will
have the time between Thanksgiving
and ,Christmas free as there’ will be
requizes for those who condition the
first ones. On the whole, however, this
‘time may’ be used for reading and re-
ports that they © will

Junior Skit Is Take-
Off of Smoking-Room

The Lowest Depths, given by the Jun-
iors on Banner Night, was a great suc-
cess, although it has uSually been the
custom to have a faculty skit. Ostensibly
the play was written by Anton Check-Out,
which was the Juniors’ manner of
acknowledging their debt to the famous
champion of the commonplace; in. reality
each actress created her own part, which
took its place in the whole by means
of two practices under the direction of
Leta Clews. The result was a skit full
of decided and natural characterization
worthy of Checkoy himself. The seri-
ous students of Bryn Mawr found.them-
selves quite capably mirrored in the wis-
dom of ‘Miss Brues, the sarcasm . and
cynicism of Miss Yeakel, the didacticism
of Miss Kindelberger and_ her -satellite,
Miss. Chalfont..and— the— aestheticism of
Miss Busser. On the other hand, this
imposing array of intellect ,was_ relieved
by the complete ‘“otherworldliness” of
Miss. Dodge and Miss Webster and ‘the
bouncing qualities of the “brat,” Miss
Lee. The atmosphere of the smoking
room iti which the scene was laid be-
came quite convincing and amusing al-

phere of exam times as the Juniors would
have us think.

Remove Week-end Ban
as Epidemic Ceases
Aspects of the Infantile Paralysis

Are Explained by Dr.
Wagner.





4000 CASES IN NEW YORK

(Specially Contributed by Dr. Wagner)
The

paralysis, the second largest. recorded

recent epidemic of infantile

in the history of the disease, is one of

those exacerbations in--v¥irulence and

frequency which have characterized the
disease since it assumed widespread
and pandemic proportions. Beginning
early in July and virtually ended at the
present timé, it numbered about 4000
cases in New York’ alone. Other
centers for. the outbreak, much less
sorely afflicted, But still suffering to-
distressing degree, were parts of
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jer-
sey, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and
Pennsylvania. Complete records for
all areas are of course not yet avail-
able. But .compared._with.the 1916
pandemic which swept the United
States.and numbered 29,000, cases with
6000 deaths, the present epidemic has
been small in number and milder in
character.

The epidemic has served to re-
emphasize the mysterious and baffling
aspects of the, disease and has put the

-problent of bacteriologists and -epidenti

ologists in the minds of all thinking
people. é

It has made many..non-medical-peo=
ple ask and subsequently turn over, in
their minds the known facts about the
diseaseand.its occurrence that may be
the clues to our final understanding of
it. Some of these facts are very inter-
esting and most suggestive:

It is now known for instance that
the disease is an infection, due to the
filterable virues of a micro-organism.”
This was proven as recently as 1909
when .Landsteiner and Papper in
Vienna and Flexner and Lewis in this
country successfully transferred the
disease to .monkeys. Up until ‘that
time the disgase was classified with

the non-infectious nervous diseases.

three ‘centuries, one would assume
a widespread interest in his condi-
tion and° a wuniversal sense of be-
reavement at his passing. But to
even the most casual of observers,
there is a deeper note of grief in
the articles, messages, and com-

political issues of the moment from
the front pages of the newspapers.
The world owed much to Steinmetz,

far more, perhaps,, than will be

realized for years to come, but even
in the ‘tributes of his fellow-work-
ers and those who knew him best,
there was little of the personal grief
that seems to stir the whole world
now. One finds in the quiet dignity
of the emotion, a tremendous feel-
ing of loss, that only a great and
fine human personality can com-
mand. It is Edison, the man,
whose death has hushed for a mo-
ment the roaring world his genius
helped to create.

the smallest of efforts, he could have

years. He could have lived in any

Letters

The News ts not responsible for any
opinions expressed in this column, and
wishes to remind the writer .of the letter
concerning Lantern Night which appeared
in the last issue that the Board requests
she turn in her name. :

To-the Editor of the CoLLEGE News.

In reply to the letter contained in
your last issue may I point out the
fact that the writer misunderstood the
motives of the Sophomore class in act-
ing as it did on: Lantern Night? No
-otte—had—told—us*cxactiy what should]
happen once we ‘were out of the clois-
ters; so when we saw the Freshmen
line up and repeat a verse of Sophias
_we_were_totally—at—-a—less:—Fhinking+
back we remembered that last year the
Sophomores had come rushing be-
tween, us tipping our hats on the way.



THE COLLEGE NEWS.





However, recalling that we were not
upperclassmen with the privilege of
tipping the Freshmen’s hats—and yet
not wanting to be too solemn in view
of previous example—we attempted to,
strike a happy medium by entering jn
single file. It is regrettable. that the

| appearance of the “chain-gang forma-

tion” we undoubtedly gave should be
set down by an upperclassman to an
exhibition of our “usual lack of a sense
of propriety.” It is even more regret-
table that such an appearance should
tag us with the phrase ‘missed spirit
of thing (?) entirely,”. “dreading ac-
cusation of tnforgivable sin of senti-
mentality’ and “characteristic disdain
for various traditions.”

Also, I feel that the writer let her
personal feelings enter into her argu-
ment as well or she would not have
indulged in further remarks to the
effect that we might-have felt self-
conscious about marching to our places
with the three other classes. watching,
or that the college might appreciate
more our “undoubted cleverness and
originality” if*employed in -other direc-
tions.

Lastly, since she who wroye the let-
ter preferred to remain unknown, I
would like my answer to be printed
simply as a defense of our. college

spirit by one member ‘of the class of

To.the CoLLece NEws.
Dear Editor :

In answer to a letter of last week
taking the sophomores for what must
have’ been a sorely-needed ‘‘ride,” there
are certain explanatory not excusatory
remarks. Firstly, the Sophomores sin-
cerely regret the fact that they all un-
wittingly wounded the sensibilities of
‘some upper-classmen by their conduct on
Lantern Night.. The injury seems to
have been done due to a universal hazi-
ness which obscures the correct proce-
-dure~for-Sophomores-once*the~solit=tra=

either side of the road andthe entire
undergraduate body had passed infor-
mally between them and so under the
arch. It°’was with some surprise, there-
fore, that they found themselves as
Sophomores segregated in front of Taylor
with three classes lined up expecting
them to get to the other side of the arch
in some traditional, ceremonious manner
existing only in the imaginations of a few
upper-classmen. The distance was tra-
versed but there seeris to have been a
sentiment about this totally new pro-
cedure that was lost: ‘The Sophomores
may not have shown the dignity that was
expected by Seniors and Juniors, but at
the same time they feel strongly that tra-
dition behind Lantern’ Night lies in the
it IS tradition, NOT
sentimentality. And if there be a-hitch
in the performance, remember that—‘“The

To the Editor of the Cotrece News:

It is important that some action be
taken in lengthening the amount of time
for milk lunch. Under the present sched-
ule, which--allowsonly--ten—minutes_be-
tween classes, students have to be either.
late to their next lecture or deny them-
selves entirely the benefit of extra nour-
ishment, and _a few minutes of relaxation.

a



classes straight through from nine until
one o'clock. -

It is not right for a (class lecture to
-be-in-a-prolonged-state-of- interruption by
late “milk-luncheoners”; nor is it sound
sense that a student forego milk lunch

in order to be punctual. Therefore, I



I speak partictlarly of students who have | _

propose the following change in the class
schedule :

8 :30 to 8 :50—Chapel.

9:00 to 9:50, 10:00 to 40 :50--Classes.

10:50 to 11:10—Milk lunch (twenty
minttes ). :

11:10 to 12:00, 12:10 to
as at present.

Beginning chapel on the- half hour
seems like a more logical time (at least
a more definite time) than, for instance,
8:40. Many students wait around after
-breakfast for chapel to begin. There are
some, however, who get down just at the
closing of the doors, and they might find
8:30 chapel a little annoying.*» On the
other hand, ten minutes longer for milk
lunch and time to read one’s mail would
make up for the inconvenience. ,

The pre-milk-lunch professors might
object to a sudden change in schedule.
But we compliment them by assuring
ourselves that they are broadmined
enough to see and meet the student's
point of view. °

Ten minutes for milk. lunch is nol
enough. No student on the third floor
of Dalton can return to her hall (whether
it be Merion or Rockefeller), partake of
crackers and milk hygienically, exchange
books, and in a-relaxed state of body and
"a receptive state of mind get over to the
hitisie™ room of Goodhart or the second
floor of Taylor.

And as for the post-milk-lunch pro-
fessors, who have'to put up with late-
comers, cracker-nibblers, and worn-out
students, what a boon it would be for
them to have a class mentally keen and
alert!

the chairmen,

and an

of the Bryn Mawr Summer

School, is to be a study of the world’s
condition today and: possible ways of

improving it, as seen from different

viewpoints. “The spéaker at this meet-

ing was. Andrew Biemiller, formerly
of the Department of Economics at
the University of Pennsylvania, now

secretary ‘of the Philadelphia branch

‘of the League for Industrial Democ+

racy and a candidate for city office
on the ‘Socialist ticket.

Mr. Bieniller outlined “three major
faults in Our economic system. First,
the maldistribution of wealth and: in-
come, Forty-three per cent. of the
income —of...this..country..goes..to_the
property owners, and only fifty-seven
per cent. to the workers. Our aver-
age wage is $24.50 a week, ranging
between the printer’s forty-four dollars

“at the very “top and the three dollars of
_the Southern

textile worker and
three dollars and

the

two dollars, four

__dollars of the non-union. Pennsylvania

hosiery mill. On the other hand there
are five hundred and four people in the
country who have incomes. of
than four million a year. According

more

to Secretary Mellon three hundred and .

eighty thousand persons pay ninety-
seven per cent. of our income tax.
The -result_-of.-this--maldistribution
that the vast majority of us are too
poor to buy back the products we our-
selves have made. This is Marx’s
famous “contradiction of capitalism.”
One of its worst manifestations is the
number of people it leaves unemployed
—one million even in 1917-18, accord-
ing to a report edited in 1922 by Sec-
retary of Commerce Hoover.

1S

Competition, in conjunction with our.

unfortunate distribution of wealth, in-
evitably brings about recurrent depres-
sions. The one we have now brought
on -ourselves is the worst the world
has ever seen, and with the most far-
reaching results—the possibility of
revolution in England and Germany,
and the withdrawal of money from this
country by French investors to whom
a revolution here seemed credible.
Maldistribution of wealth means that
control also is centered in a few hands.
Last spring Senator Borah made the
statement that four per cent. of the
people of the United States own eighty
per cent. of its. wealth, and the re-
maining ninety-six per: cent. own
twenty per cent. According to a recent
study by Gardner Means, of Columbia,
two hundred corporations control sixty
per cent..of the nation’s business, and
those corporations are in thé control
of one thousand men. “This means
political control as well as economic:

a —— —— ——

Uncle Joe Grundy is head of the Re-
publican machine in Pennsylvania but
his chief henchman in the State. legis-
lature is Flynn, a Democrat——for
Grundy can buy out either party.

The third count against our present

system is its bad moral effect. We
measure success in money. This is
driven through our~ school system

where children are occa to be thrifty
and follow in the footsteps of Morgan,
Carnegie, Ford and Rockefeller, with-
out hearing how, for example, Rocke-
feller’s agents at his orders dyna-
mited competitors’ pipe-lines, or how
the elder Morgan founded his fortune
by buying a large quantity of «rifles
from the Government at $7.50 in 1860
and selling them back to the Govern-
ment for $22.50 in- 1861. . Teachers
more than the members of any other
trade are forced to sell their souls and
say they approve of things as they are.
As an instance of’ the working ,of our
system in this respect, Mr.- Biemiller
quoted this remark by a trustee of
Ohio- University, in reference to the
recent discharge of Professor Miller,
the sociologist: “In a State univer-
sity the taxpayers (i. a few rich
men behind ‘the party machine) ‘hire
the teachers—so they say what they
can teach!”

Cambridge Rector Speaks
at Sunday Chapel Service



(Tryout specially contributed for ‘the
NEws competitton. )

The subject of the sermon given by
the Reverend Leslie Glenn in: the eve-
October 18,
was not previously announced,
Mr. ¢

Church in Cambridge,

ning service of .Sunday,
nor. did
Glent® who is Rector of Christ
Massachusetts,
announce. his text as he commenced.

He

with

spoke quite informally, starting

the story of Marco Polo’s ap-

% . * o -
pearance in the court of Kubla Khan,

as a modern author tells it. The ex-
plorer was describing the life of
Christ, but when he had finished tell-
ing how the Messiah reappeared to
only a few faithful friends in an upper
room, he found his ‘story politely re-
ceived but with pity and contempt.
This, said Mr. Glenn, is just what
was meant by the Resurrection—the
“strengthening of a few” ‘in the face
mocking of the many. The
world has been amazingly polite in
listening to the story, and not accept-
ing it; it is left to a minority to have
the firmness of faith: Then he went

° e,
|on to quote from the Jesuit writer. of

old who said that “There are two kinds

of life,” pointing out that—-even— the
most pagan acknowledged another ex-
istence over and above mere eating

and breathing. | As illustration, he told

of a friend of his who was once called.

to a house where there was a case of

attempted suicide. And at the door,
one of the ambulance orderlies spoke
to the minister and said, “Where I
leave off, you begin.”

In this connéction also, Mr. Glenn
applied his generation’s experiences in
the War. Those men found a pur-
pose, he said, that was outside any
personal ambition; they were working
for something bigger than themselves.
They didn’t belong to themselves any
more, and the sensation was~-unique.
“Existence becomes living when we
catch hold of something that is bigger
than ourselves.” The power of God

is felt in such moments as this, of
when people are. divinely happy, as
when they are in great. sérrow. Even

a cynical person feels, it from time to
time, for human beings were made to
hope, were made to believe. And then
the quotation, “Fear not, only believe,”
as the last note to the sermon.

Bryn Mawr Defeats

Philadelphia Yellows



Score Four-to-Two as Varsity |

Shows a Gain in Team-
Work and Confidence.



Last Saturday. a much-improved

Bryn Mawr hockey ‘team played a

steady, accurate game to defeat the
Philadelphia Yellows, -4 to 2. Bryn
Mawr, for the first time this year,
played as a team, possessed of the
confidence necessary to make them a

threat. The forward line

played a co-ordinated game with Hat
Moore doing most of the scoring.
The passing and dribbling was good,
on the’ whole, although the wings
showed a tendency to get ahead of the
ball when they had it. Moore supplied
the shooting power, her shots being
well to the corners and clean hit.
Remington, while she played a reliable
supporting game, seemed to lack her
usual initiative.

The _ half-backs, led «by Collier at
center, played well on both the offense
and defense. Collier was everywhere,
backing up her forwards and breaking
up the opposing. attack. Her stick
work is much improved and her passes
were well placed and hard hit. Ullom
backed up well; while-Kent..seemed at
last to have found her position on the
team and was much more sure of her-
self and more reliable than last ayeek.
The work of McCully and Rothermel
at the fullback positions was consist-
ently good. McCully’s game, always
accurate, has become a great deal

~~ faster, while Rothermel’s” great value

lies in her sureness.

The improved individual playing,
coupled with the new-found teamwork
gave Bryn Mawr a well-deserved -vic-
tory. They kept the ball almost con-
sistently in the visitors’ territory and
played a wide-awake game. Miss Grant
is to be congratulated on the way in
which she built up in one short week
a fighting, confident team. The hockey
prospetcs of Bryn. Mawr are consid-
erably more promising.

it to make money, and no one who has
a pure mind that is annoyed by people
not being serious enough to get to the
bottom of things should attempt it. A
scientist would not like medicine be-

cause it is not a pure science.

The medical school is.a queer grad-
uate school. There is no freedom of
courses and many are disappointed in
the first years. No pure sciences are
taught, but only in their relation to
medioine. The ‘work is hard and
affords none of the pleasure of a thesis
for a degree. The instructors are not
scientists. but workers in clinical
nrédicine. One should have the~best
possible education before entering’ a
medical school, at least the requireds
for Bryn Mawr _ besides sciences,
Economy, Philosophy and Greek and
Latin for terminology, and if possible
two A.B.’s. Go to the best medical
school and as near as possible ‘to the
region where one is going to practice.
For a woman a co-educational school
is best and shes should work as a per-
son and a scientist not as a “woman
in medicine.” It is important to get
into the best hospital, one where there
is teaching if possible, and one should
remember that even in country prac-
tice ‘one has to keep in touch with city
hospitals to keep with the advance. A

interests as possible. To keep oneself

in a’ purely feminine medical group]

does not get one anywhere today.

Dr. Frantz teaches second and
fourth year surgery but her three chil-
dren leave her no time to practice. To
reach the highest goal one should prac-
tice and make a living out’ of. it. One
woman ts making a success of surgery
in New York. If one does not wish
to take an M.D. there is a new and
exciting field, but no money, in bac-
teriology. and_ bio-chemistry, physi-
ology, pschyatry. The world is less
prejudiced now against women in
medicine. Johns Hopkins and_ the
College of Physicians and Surgeons
take ten’ per cent. women. Too many
women begin medicine and do not
continue it seriously, this ’deprives
some nian who needs it to make his
living ‘of a much-desired’ internship.
Those who have taken it seriously at
first felt lack of authority due ‘to the

general prejudice, but this is fading out:

as. they become more generally ac-
cepted. Only a “feminist” will never
be accepted. If one has no ideals to
be shattered and does not expect to
be famous in ten years, one can find
enjoyment and interest in medicine and

unless it progresses to the point of
causing paralysis. So that the figures
quoted in regard to an epidemic may
be quite inaccurate so far as the total
incidence is concerned.

It is known .that the disease is a
widespread than indicated by the
warm weather disease which, curiously
enough, spares warm countries. The
many epidemics récorded have been in
Northern Europe, Northern United
States and Iceland: Very few cases
have been reported from the tropics.
In most. epidemics as in the recent
One, the curve of incidence begins to
rise in July, reaches its peak in August
or September and subsides rapidly
with. the onset of cold weather.

It is known that a community suffer-
ing an epidemic one year is spared the
next. It is known that boys are more
often affected ‘than girls; that more
than one case is unlikely to occur in
the same family.
casesdo occur, there is usually evi-
dence of a common source of infec-
tion. (Only 4.3% of 8634 families in
the 1916 epidemi¢ in New York had
more than one case.) Second attacks
of the disease are practically unknown.
Epidemics have been confined for the
most part to the white race.

What is not known (and until it is
known our attempts at prevention are
clumsy and inaccurate) is the way in
which the disease is spread. Accord-
ing to~ Rosenau (whose book T have
quoted freely in the above) the favored
theory in regard to the. transmission
of infantile paralysis ‘is that: it (like
measles) is a very common and very
communicable . disease -much more
paralytic cases. The mild- gain pro-
tection against the disease but may
spread~it:-—-There-may—be-healthy_car-
riers in the community as well.

There are other favored theories—
that there may be an insect, such as
the..common. house fly; or a rodent
such as the rat or squirrel may figure
in the life history of the organism
responsible for the disease; fo6d or
unpasteurized milk has been held__re-
sponsible by some students. Much of
this evidence is very impressive. It
is possible that the disease, like typhoid
fever, may be directly or
transmissable either from person to
- person, or by.a number of various in-
termediary factors.

The problem is a real-one and its
solution a great prize for the scientific
investigator.

Possibly out of addition of- facts
finally assembled frém the present un-
happy experience will come the knowl-
edge ‘ahd tinderstanding that will-mean
another practical triumph for
ventive médicine.

Charming women are first won by

their enthusiasm doubles when they
find that OLD GOLDS do not taint
the breath or mar the whiteness of
pearly teeth.

-That’s because OLD GOLD is a pure-

finest nature-flavored tobacco. So
good, it needs no added flavoring.
