Speer Pleads,
For Sunday Chapel







Constance Speer, 30, led the vesper
service of the Bryn. Mawr League
which was held in the music room of
Goodhart. Hall on’ Sunday. evening, Oc-
tober 13.

Miss Speer, after reading an intr
tory passage from Jogeph Glanville’s
The Way of Happiness, went on to ex-
plain. to the college the point of view
which the Teague has concerning the
Sunday evéning services.

“Until last year, the Sunday evening
services used to be arranged very differ-
ently.. There was an outside speaker
every Sunday evening, and the service
was miuch the same as a regular church
service. They always used to beheld
“in the cMapel in Taylor—a place used
also for the éntrance examinations. But
it. was hard.to get a minister for every

“Sunday and even when there was a good

man, it was only on an exceptional eve-
ning that he found more than thirty in
his congregation. More often he’ found
himself confronted by a few faithful
souls, a bored choir, and many marble,
and totally pagan, statues.

So last year the system was changed.
The Christian Association became the
‘Bryn Mawr League. It was decided that
people ‘iight be more interested in
chapel if we did not try to cram-religion
—good, bad, or indifferent—down their
throats every week. ‘So we started hav-
ing musical. services, with organ music,
‘anthems by the choir, and a few minutes
for prayer. In addition to the musical
services we still have five or six. with
outside speakers, and ‘for those we try.
to get the very best ministers that we
can. On the Sundays when there is
neither an outside speaker nor a musical
service, we have vesper services, which
are led either by a. member of the faculty
or a student. se
“——«“T“Hopeée you see the connection,” Miss
Speer went on to say, “between .the pas-

~ sage-f-read-from-Fite IVay- of Happiness-

-and the question of ~Chapel,-—It—-is -so
“easy to put ‘wotlaryinerest and et engag-
ment’ first and forget. chapel. I know
it is not compulsory, and it would be un-
thinkable to’ have it so here. But I
am not pleading with you to come every
Sunday; nobody wants to force chapel
on-anybody. It is discouraging, though,
for the choir to practice and for .Mr.
Willoughby to arrange an - interesting
program, and then for ‘only twenty or
- thirty people to turn out. And it seems
rather*impolite to ask a well-known mif-
ister to come to speak to such a small
audience. Few really good ministers like
to desert their own large congregations
for-a-mere handful. °
Where There’s a Will

“Here at college one must go to classes
and for two years. one must be athletic;
but one’s spirit is~negtected;—or~ rather,
its cultivation is left. to the individual.
There’ are, of course, some people’ who
feel that their spirits are all right in
the state of nature. Chapel is not for
those. But I know that there are some
people who do feel a need of something,
and it is for those that we have chapel.

Lantern Night Proves «
True to Tradition



Another year has brought another
Lantern Night and taken it away, leav-
ing the memory of. a moon-coluded
the shadow-filled
and black-robed figures spangled .with

evening, cloisters,

sparkling. lights, to compensate for its

loss. The harmonious strains of Pallas
Athena Thea and Sophias. Philai Paro-
men have drifted away, but the manner
in which they were sung will not be
forgotten so quickly by those’ who
heard the beautiful-hymns on Friday
night. The old Bryn Mawr custom
has*lost none’ of its solemnity and in-
spiring beauty—qualities to which the
classes of ’32 and ’33 were keenly-alive
and which they strove to honor with
their voicés. The Sophomore class en-
tered the cloisters singing, and carry-

c-|ing the red lantern of ’33, and though

difficulty in the first transition from
verse to. chorus somewhat marred the
effects of the entrance, the Sophomores
soon righted the mistake and gradually
regained confidénce.. The final stanza,
sung from the corner of the cloisters,
made up in the feeling and beauty of its
expression, for the unfortunate. begin-
ning. The Freshman ceremony was
splendid in every way. with no rough
places~eviderit in their choruses. The
real merit of their performance is more
remarkable when one considers that
they had less than a week of ‘actual
practice. The Upperclassmen, grouped
under Pem: Arch, joined their voices
in the Sophias Philai, as the Freshmen
marched from the Library to fill their
newly- acquired place between Juniors
and Seniors. And Lantern Night ended
with the singing of class and banner
songs—perhaps rendered with little
art, but certainly rich in feeling.



Varsity Players Outline
: Plaris For This Year



On Thursday afternoon, October 10,
the “Varsity Players” served tea in the
Commons Room, and defined themselves
and their activities for all those who are
interested in their plans for the current
year. Ethel Dyer, ’31, as Chairman of
‘the Committee, spoke in its name.

The name “Varsity Players” actually
gives a mistaken impression; there is
no closed organization of people inter-
ested dn. the dramatig activities. of the
college. “The plan, at present, is to re-

-vert to the old name of “Varsity Dra-

mations s-this--wil No

these, but their production is in the
hands..af the “Varsity Dramatics Com-
mittee.” Miss Dyer then suggested the
revival of “The Players.” This organi-
zation died-a natural death in the spring
of 1927, for May Day, on the following
year, seems to have prevented any kind
of spontaneous dramatic work: This is
the nearest approach to an experimental
workshop that’ has ever been introduced
to the college. The present glan is to
allow the name of “Players” to. stand,
with no definite organization behind it.
Any .one in college who feels the urge
to act, to direct, to paint scenery, to
produce her own play, to design costumes
or stage-sets, to stage manage, or to
learn about lighting, need only tell it to
the “Varsity Dramatics Committee.
They will not interfere with the plans
any more than their interference is
wanted. They only feel that they should
be told of people’s ideasso. that, dates
will not conflict, and so that those who
are interested in different ends of a pro-
duction may be brought together.

It seems best to give these plays in
Goodhart, if only for the sake of the

rather than just one more thing to do.

This kind of service easily gave place

to sing, first with the aid of a small and

Last year ‘w further change was made
when we moved Chapel to Goodhart and
changed the hour for thé services.. This
year, at the suggestion of the Student
Council, Tuesdays and
created Chapel days instead of the other
three days of the week when students
have heavier schedules.

It is strikingly significant that Chapel
has always been a voluntary service at
‘Bryn Mawr: “However, I~am frankly
asking that all the students..should have

they can hear-certainprofessors speak on
subjects which they have very much at
heart; thirdly, it gives the students them-
selves an opportunity to speak on general
subjects, on conventions -they have at-
tended, or. on college problems.

I think there is something else in
Chapel besides just this interest, Miss
Park concluded. It is after all_a’ stand-
ing still and turning aside from,the busi-
ness of the day. It is connected with
obligations you will find outside of col-
lege. In’ national and international af-

Sentimentality Takes
Hold on the Masses

At Thursday chapel, Dr. Fenwick
spoke upon the significance of the Mac-
Donald-Hoover conference. ‘Dr. Fen-
wick was introduced by President
Park, who added that Miss. MacDon-
ald>remembering her several visits to
Bryn Mawr,. had asked the President
of the College to attend the luncheon
given for her in Philadelphia; Miss
Park also said .that an invitation to
visit Bryn Mawr had been extended to
Miss MacDonald, but she was unable
to accept due to her many engage-
ments, -

“I have always believed that the
American people are subject to senti-
mentality,” Dr. Fenwick» began. In
spite of the building of skyscrapers, we
react to the primitive appeal. This is
being borne out in the fa®t that a
crisis in world history is to be settled
not by wary diplomats, but in the wild-
erness of Virginia by two statesmen
balanced on logs and smoking pipes.
This hds appealed to the people, and

United States turned its back upon the
very idea that its own statesmen ‘had
put before the world, and the plan for
collective disarmarnent fell flat.

In 1921 we called the Washington

Conference to discuss a means for the

limitation of armameénts,._The Confer-
ence labored for three months and rep-
resents the great work of Mr. Hughes.
“T remember saying, ‘The mountains
are in labor, all you get born is a poo

lished in regard to dreadnoughts, pro-

portioning the number to be possessed
by a given country according to its size.
Otherwise the Conference came to no
It was a fraud and a
sham, but as realists we say that it was
a first step.

Then things went-on as before;. the
League again and again made efforts to
produce disarmament, but was blocked
by the ‘stand of the United States.
Finally, Mr. Coolidge ‘called a confer-
ence in Geneva that did not even pro-
ducé a ‘ridiculous mus’; how could any-

~T thing be accomplished when admirals

MacDonald are discussing parity.” The

STUDENT AID IS URGED



Among the’ most interesting announce-
ments of the year js-that just made about
the Bryn’ Mawr Series. This will be the
second winter of these entertaifiments,
and, in accordance with the plan inaugu-
rated last season, the Series will include
representations of “the Arts of Music,
Drama, and Ballet." TH® Series is one®
of the biggest undertakings of Bryn
Mawr College, and it is especially in-
cumbent upon the students to support it.

The first event will take place on Fri+
day evening, October 25. It.is to be the
“Gavrilov Ballet Moderne.” The full
Russian Ballet will be here with its lead-
ing dancers and Corps ‘de Ballet, and
orchestra,with the original scenery and
costumes. Alexandre Gavrilov, who
heads the performance, is a native of
Moscow, and received his training in the
Imperial Ballet Schools of Moscow and
Petrograd. | » While _
“Marinsky Tivcrial Theatre in Petrograd
he accepted an invitation to join Serge
de Diaghileff’s famous company and: re-
mained in that organization from. 1914
until 1920. On the American tours of
the company he alternated, with Nijinsky
in the leading roles
Scheherezade, Spectre de la Rose,
Sylphides, and other of Diaghileff’s fin-
est. productions. _ Aiter withdrawing
from the gompany, Mr. Gavrilov toured
Europe -as the head of his own organiza-
tion until 1923, when he returned to
America, where he is_ now permanently
resident. Since his pemarkable success
last season in Philadelphia, he has been
engaged -as Ballet Master of the Phila-
delphia’ Civic Opera Company with Vera
sStrelska as-Prima Ballerina.. He will
appear, together with Vera Strelska and
other leading solo dancers and the full
Corps de Ballet of twenty-four members,
in some of his most colorful and highly
imaginative creations, including the
famous Bolovetzki Dances . from. Boro-
din’s. ‘Prince Igor,” and Ballets by Rim--

FAREWELL

Mr. Ramsay MacDonald has suc-
ceeded in winning his way to the
minds and hearts of most of those
who have followed the details of
his visit to the United States. The
wisdom and self-sacrificing human-
ity of the views he holds, and his

Sincerity and earnestness in their]

expression, have combined to give
to Americans a vivid conception of
the man himself. The, inspiration
of one who has devoted his. life
to the pursuit of peace,’ and who
chose peace when it was a risk -in-
deed, should make us realize clearly
the tremendous importarice to the

individual of \ this international
question. ~ We feel that Mr. Mac-
Donald’s_ visit, his own intense

~~—presenceshas-accomplished miracles
~gn- awakening the interest and clari-
_ fying the vision of many°who have
not understood the situation befGre.
So we are honored to be able to
acknowledge our indgbtedness to
Mr. MacDonald and to wish him
Godspeed on his departure.

ii A PLEA
We blush, -every’ year,~on. the
Monday morning following Lan-
tern Night. The Freshmen, in the
pristine glory of their untilted caps,
appear before us in wistful imma-
turity. We pity them, and-we can-
not be of service. Somehow, to
give their caps a gentle shove to
right or left smacks of the embar-
rassment of dropping dimes in beg-
gars’ caps; the grateful glances .of
the aided are so humiliating to all
‘concerned. And yet, friends, it is
not even this that causes us our
heated blush. It is that so many
of us, in years gone by, have
stealthily tipped our caps ourselves,
in_ self-defense against forgetful
upper-classmen. And still, despite
sharp memories of these painful
moments of protective self-tipping,
we continue to submit each incom-
ing class to the same humiliating
process. We say our word for
_ quick reform, and we have no doubt
that the humbled class of 1933 will
shout a unanimous refrain of affir-
mation.

Sunday Services

The “question of Sunday evening

‘ecrets of Bates House

ies Bared to Public

chapel is ‘eternal, and its solution is§ Bates House is gradually becoming

doubtful. Many people in, college feel

es that there is no use in keeping up the

custom. The physical and mental as-
pects of life are amply provided for,
neg-
lected. . Chapel is an. attempt to make
up for this neglect.

‘It was -felt that the old system of
having the same. kind of service every

week did not do this. College is made

_ up.of many different kinds of people.
: One, type of service does not attract

them all, so last year the system was
changed, and instead of having a serv-
ice every week led by a minister, it
was decided to vary, the program with

musical evenings, informal veSpefs,
and five or six services led by well-
The latter are much
like a regular church service with a
sermon, -full choir, hymns .and. special
music... The -musical®serwices consist
of orgam solos, special music by the
full choir and hymns for the congre-
gation. . The second one in’this year’s
series will be held on October 27.
Vespers vary greatly; they are led
sometimes by a member of the faculty,
sometimes by a_student,..and there. is
neither choir nor organ, but piano is
used to\dccompany the hymn singing.

We plan to have some sort of gather-
ing every Sunday evening for those§
who feel the. neéd of one and are will-
ing to give up part’ of their Sunday
evening to it. If we find’in the course
of the year that there seems to be no
need. nor desire for chapel, it: will be
given up, or its form changed again.

known’ ministers.

. We do not want to force it on people,

buf if we have services we would be

_ deeply gratified if ‘a few people would

attend. It is:discouraging for Mr. Wil-
loughby and the choir to rehedrse twice
a week or for a ministé?-to prepare a

ood sermon, for a-mere handful... Its
success or failure depends entirely on
the college at large. Conservative
criticism y will always be appreciated!

Maids’ Committee

or join in a glee club. Plans for a- play
‘to. be given at the Christmas party are
under way. Give them your support!
They need fifty. dollars. to cover the
expense of refreshments and orchestra
at their party.

_A_meeting of the maids_interested in |

these activities was held in Taylor Hall
last Thursday evening. There were
about forty present. The committée had

an opportunity of discussing plans with

the maids and of .learning what they
wanted. Mary Oakford, ’31, is. going to

‘coach the Christmas play; Louise Evers,

32, is in charge of the glee club and
carol singing, and Mary Hulse, ’30;
Patséy Taylor, ’31; Marjorie: Field, ’32,
and Thomasia Hancock, ’30, are arrang-

_\.. Summer= School

For the past nine- summers factory
girls from all over the United States and
from the continent have been meeting at
Bryn Mawr College to enjoy the free-
dom of studying on its beautiful campus.
Some people who have heard of the
Summer School and of its one hundred
students have been struck with the use-
lessness “of .bringing such a small num-
‘ber sof girls to_taste_thebenefits—of—an
existence which is so different from. their
own. What good does it do, I have
heard some one say, to make the fac-
tory girls dissatisfied by showing them
an education that they can never have?
To come directly from a. noisy over-
crowded factory to Bryn Mawr’s quiet
green campus is too much of a change.
We cannot’ expect any one to be so
adaptable as. to avoid the bitterness of
thought that such a change in environ-
ment often creates. —

I am certain that if the people who
are _impressed-—with the uselessness of
Summer School could stay on. campus
during a few days‘of the session, they
would chdfigé their opinion.

cation in eight weeks, but one can often,
in less time than that, develop a desire
to understand and to-see different points
of view. It is this, I think, that the
Summer School accomplishes. The time
is short, the ‘work is intense,.the workers
are more intense. They are so hot-
foot after ‘understanding that class dis-
cussions. are often riotous. The girls
are restless and eager to pile things in,
but one does not feel that they ate em-
bittered by their “eight weeks of study.
They. come in doubting curiosity, they
compare notes. Their interest in the

fellow-workers, is founded on a com-
parison, a give-and-take, a finding of
likenesses and -unlikenesses between dif-
ferent sorts of lives. It is like the -fit-
ting together of the pieces’ of a puzzle
‘with the ‘surprise in the” final ‘picture.
The general attitude seems to be this:
we are girls from different. surround-
ings, and-we are going back to them,
but, for the present, let us see how our,
ideas conform.

emphasize the value of the school in its
present environment. The students are
a picked lot of: boys and girls, and only,
those of good character, and capable of
coming up to the standard: of the school,
are admitted. They are under strict
discipline and show the influence of Miss
Liu’s inspiring personality. There is
real promise that from-these youths will
develop men and women with a sound
education and a spirit of service,° quali-
fied to become leaders in the riew China.

"There are now two former residences
which are used for the school. In these
seven classes recite, ranging from the
first year of primary school to the first
year of senior high school. There are
forty children boarding in the buildings. |

_Because—of—the—heavy—expenses—and-
the limited income’ Miss Liu has not
taken for herself a cent of salary during
all these years. She is taking thirty-two
hours of school work each week, besides

This report of the work being done
in the Yuet Wah School came to us last
spring from the board of trustees. Yuet
Wah is directed by Miss Fung Kei Liu,
who studied at Bryn Mawr a few years
ago. It seems to be a most worth-

Among the less heralded outlets for
self-expression at Bryn Mawr is the
Community Center at’ Haverford,
where those of us who are interested
in younger children spend an afternoon
or so each week playing baseball or
paper dolls; as suits our fancy. The
medium of expression is one’s “class”
-which iisually consists of five, or maybe
ten, of the younger set of- Preston, the.

habits. It gave smoker$ a new freedom of enjoyment
