BRYN MAWR SERIES

The Goodhart audftorium is one
of the most prized/possessions of
’ Bryn Mawr; th¢g entertainment






nstruction. Among

rtainments we place
awr Series, inaugurated

In this issue of THE
announcement
out the Series is made. It is a
most amazing surprise to see the

truly big people who are coming to:

college for these entertainments.
They are being brought here, pri-
marily, for the sake of the under-
graduates of- the college; surely it
is the duty; as well as the pleasure,
of those same undergraduates to
support the Series as completely as
they are able. The tickets are far
cheaper than they would be, for the
Same. events, at regular theatres, or
concert ‘halls; however, the charges
of the artists themselves are, na-
turally enough, very large: ‘Fhere-
fore, Goodhart. must be filled, the
Series must be made to pay, and
the artists must be given a recep-
tion worthy of their names.



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.

we gather that scholastic and_ literary
efforts do not appeal to him.

whether or not this included private bets

tion deeply. If we did not allow it, and
began a thorough investigation on the

ber of culprits, the college might be put

thought the whole investigation would
