Dr. Williams Declares
Gold Standard Fails
Foreign Trade. Not Balanced As

One-Way Gold Movements
Upset Prices





FLEXIBLE BASIS NEEDED



Common Room, April 18.—Before a
small but interested group of Econom-
ies students Dr. John Williams, Pro-
fessor of Economics atSfarvard, dis-
ctissed The International Monetary

Situation. He dealt in particular with
the intricacies of the Gold Standard,
treating the question from the point
of view of its history, the situation
today, and the »problems connected
with it.

The Gold Standard has been in ex-
istence for about a’ hundred y@ars. It
arose first in England in the years
immediately following the confusion
of the Napoleonic Wars. The use of
the Gold Standard spread gradually
through the rest of the- world during
the last of the 19th Century, although
not without considerablg discussion of
and experimentation with other types
of standards, such as bimetallism and
paper currency. By the end of the
century, however, the Gold Standard
had proved its usefulness and was ac-
cepted as an essential part of eco-
nomic machinery. This condition last-
ed until the World War, which pretty
thoroughly destroyed the Gold Stand-
ard. Technically the. United States
-remained on it, but the rest of the
world spent the next five years debat-
ing whether to return to it. By 1928,
nevertheless, the rest of the nations
were on the Gold Standard again,
with the French coming in last of all.
Then in 1929 came the world collapse
and depression and once more the na-
tions departed from the Standard in
a body. People have never been more
discouraged about the value of the
Gold Standard than they are at pres-
ent, for there have been two major
collapses within the memory of the
present. generation. Paper standards
and bimetallism are being widely dis-
cussed, along with plans for exchange
control. Meanwhile, the United States
has returned to some kind of a Gold
Standard of an indefinable variety.

In the summer of 1933 the World
Conference was held in order to try
to decide how to end the confusion
which resulted from the use of such a
great variety of standards. In Janu-
ary the experts decided on a program,
but by July the situation in the United
States had changed completely, be-

Psychical Cowardice
Is German Weakness



Industrial Group Supper Held
to Discuss Labor Control

Under Hitler



CASTE FEELING INTENSE



Common. Room, April 17.—The
speaker at the second of the Indus-
trial Group suppers, sponsored by the
Kensington Y. W. C. A. and held at
Bryn Mawr College, was Miss Alice
Hanson, industrial secretary of the

Kensington Y. W. C. A., who discuss-
ed the state of unrest in Germany un-
der Hitler, with special emphasis on
the labor situation. The guest of the
evening was Miss Hannah Hellinger,
former Supervisor of Public Relief in
Frankfurt-am-Meine, Germany.

Miss Hellinger, explaining the dis-
appearance of the * large minority
which formerly opposed the Hitler re-
gime, said that: the Germans as a race
are physically, but not psychologically,
courageous. Therefore, some opposi-
tion has been silenced by fear, some
is still continuing actively under cover,
and some has. disappeared because
many citizens are either indifferent, or
susceptible to nationalistic propa-
ganda.

Miss Hanson began with a brief his-
tory of Germany since the war. Never,
since 1914, has Germany been eco-
nomically stable. The only political
movement which-has ever been popu-
lar since then is a nationalistic one.
Hence, Hitler’s measures were popu-
lar before he came inté power. He

College “Octet” Attends New York Fete

For Broadcasts

During Entertainments



Radio City, April 17.—A good sing: |

ing voice has always had its rewards
on the campus, but eight of the
“Voices” of Bryn Mawr reaped the
supreme fruits of their vocal talents,
when they were asked to attend the
great celebration of the New York
alumnae at Radio City. This was the
most elaborate of the fetes planned by
the alumnae in cities throughout the
nation to inaugurate the Million Dol-
lar Drive, and included diversified en-
tertainment ranging from a_ bridge
tournament to monologues by Cornelia
Otis Skinner. , The Fete began with
the formal opening of the Garden of
the Nations on the eleventh floor ter-
race, continued throughout the day
with a bridge luncheon and tournament
conducted by Ely Culbertson in the
cloisters, and ended with a Trous-
seau Fashion Show in the Rain-
bow Room, where Ray Swift played
piano selections and Cornelia Otis
Skinner performed, after which a
dress: worn by Katherine Hepburn in
The Little Minister was auctioned.
The undergraduate singers sang Bryn
Mawr songs in two broadcasts over
WEAF and the NBC system.

The singers, including Eleanor
Cheney, ’35; Maryallis Morgan, ’36;
Lois Marean, ’87; Susan Morse, ’35;
Jean Porter, ’35; Helen Ripley, ’35;

“ Doris Russell, ’28, and Eleanor Shaw,

% -_ ’38, under the direction of Mr. Wil-

x



loughby, left Bryn Mawr on their
grand excursion early Tuesday morn-
ing in the automobiles of Mrs. John
Converse and Miss Polly Barnitz, ’34,
loaned for the occasion. At one o’clock
they broadcast over WEAF, singing
Now Is the Month of Maying and To
The Maypole as their contribution to
the formal opening of the Gardens by
Mr. Grover Whalen, on behalf of the
Mayor of New York. Miss Park, Mr.
Ralph Hancock, creator and designer
of the Gardens, and Mr. Jonas Lie,
president of the National Academy of
Design, also made short speeches.

The singers then had luncheon at
the Covent Garden with Mrs. Louis
Darmstadt, of the New York Bryn
Mawr Club. Mrs. Francis Louis Slade
entertained Mayor La Guardia at
luncheon at Radio City. At two o’clock
the bridge tournament began, preced-
ed by an explanation of the intricacies
of the new rules and scoring by Mr.
Culbertson. Valuable prizes which had

been donated included an RCA victrola-}

and $50 worth of records, a registered
Schnauzer, Sealyham and Scottie pyp-
pies, a case of champagne, boxes for
the circus and Flowers of the Forest,
and Prince Matchabelli perfume.

At three o’clock, crowds jammed the
Rainbow Room for the fashion show
in which many of New York’s nicest
shops participated. To the Strains of

Enthusiasm Prevails in

Many Pacifist Groups



It is very encouraging in the midst
of so much “war talk’ to find that
there are many organizations, both
national and international, that are
actively interested in furthering peace.
Their influence is being felt among
large groups of people and is one of
the real forces against which militar-
ism must contend.

The object of the National Commit-
tee for the Cause and Cure of War 1s
to “clarify issues in International re-
lations and steps which must be taken
to achieve a world at peace.” It is
composed of representatives . from
eleven women’s organizations. There
is an annual conference held in Wash-



ington, with addresses, discussion, and |
dramatizations, and “Marathon Round |
Tables.” The members agree as to
what policies should, be indorsed by
the society, what subjects should be
studied, and what action must be
taken in order to “concentrate upon
the same objectives at the same time.”
That their work is not merely passive
is proved by the fact that the Commit-
tee took the leading part in the dis-
cussion of the Briand-Kellogg Peace
Pact which resulted in 12,000 resolu-
tions for ratification, which were sent
to the President at that time.

The National Council for the Pre-
vention of War was founded in 1924
to be a sort of clearing-house for other
organizations and to be active in its
own right as well. Its program is the
struggle for peace through the reduc-
tion of Armaments, and by intelligent
education and the progress of World
Organizations. Furthermore it main-
tains constant contact with Congress
and the International Disarmament
Conference. :

The Women’s International League
for Peace and Freedom has a special
interest in race relations, and aims tu
promote peace through the building up
of_pacifist_public-opinion, The -W.-I.-L.
is working for a new social order,
with special emphasis on peace.

The American Peace Society is th:
publisher of World Affairs, and ex-
erts a conservative influence for peace,
both here and abroad. It was found-
ed in 1828 and was responsible for the
founding of many of the first peace
societies in Europe, as well as many
in America. It has sponsored many
peace congresses since 1907, and its
work has tended toward influencing
state and national legislature in the
cause of peace.

An organization which stands for
action rather than words is the War
Resisters’ International. Its very
name shows its purpose: to stir tle
inhabitants of the 57 countries in
which it is operative in an effort to
abolish militarism. It is particularly
strong in countries where the young
men are conscripted for military serv-

Estelle Dennis Group
Will Present Dances



Combines Strength of Moderns
‘ With Lyric Grace of Ballet
In New School



TO AID STUDENT QUOTA



Estelle Dennis, who is the founder
of the Dennis Theatre in Baltimore,

will present a program of modern

dances in Goodhart Hall at Bryn

Mawr College on Tuesday evening,
April 30th.

sisted by twelve of her Concert Dance

Miss Dennis will be as-

Group, ten girls and two men.

From a small beginning the Dennis
Theatre has now attained a unique po-
sition in Baltimore, The Dennis Dance
Group, which was organized: five or
six years ago, was founded with the
idea that the dance group is to the art
of the Dance what the symphony is to
the art of Music; and like the orches-
tration of a symphony, group dancing
is much more complex and _ sophisti-
cated than solo numbers, as it weaves
its patterns, sometimes around two,
three, four or five dancers, or forms

an interesting accompaniment for the}

solo dances. In 1934 the Dennis The-
atre was founded with the purpose of
giving young dancers an opportunity
to appear in concert programs before
the public in a proper setting and at-
mosphere, without incurring large
overhead expenses. It is a sure trib-
ute to the ability of the Dennis Dance
Group that, in these financially unset-
tled times, they have put on a success-
ful season of dance programs, and

leven had to repeat performances sold

out a week to ten days in advance.

Miss Dennis, herself, is, of course,
an experienced artist. Like so many
outstanding modern dancers, notably
Doris-Humphreys, Charles Weidman
and Martha Graham, Miss Dennis had
her earliest training under Ruth St.
Denis and Ted Shawn. With them she
toured all over the United States as
solo dancer, and has appeared three
times as a soloist with the Philhar-
monic Symphony Orchestra in New
York.

When Miss Dennis left the Deni-
shawn Company to return to Balti-
more and form her own dance group,
she began to develop her own individ-
ual expression of the modern dance.
Miss Dennis in her style and tech-
nique has aimed to achieve the deep
strength and vitality of the contem-
porary dance as it is exemplified in
the work of such artists as Mary Wig-
man in Germany, and Martha Graham
and Doris Humphreys in New York,

New York Assembly



Bryn Mawr Sends _ Delegates
Who Confer on Munitions,
World Trade

+:

SANCTIONS



DISCUSSED



This seems to be the season for con-
ferences, and Bryn Mawr is doing its
full share in participating in them. A
very interesting group of delegates
from a number of colleges in Pennsyl-
vania and New York met last week-
end at the Washington Square divi-.
sion of New York University, for the
Model Assembly of the League of Na-
tions... This isa well-established con-
ference, meeting every year at one
of the member colleges. Its success
testifies to the deep interest of students
in current affairs. This year twenty
colleges and universities came to ses-
sions representing’ twenty-five coun-
tries, including Japan.

The first business of the Assembly
was the consideration by the Creden-
tials Committee to permit Japanese
delegates to participate in the discus-
sion and voting in the Assembly. The
committee decided that Japan should
be admitted, since she must fulfill her
obligations to the League, before she
can withdraw.

On Friday morning the first Ple-
nary Session was held and included
addresses by the Chancellor of the
University and the President of the
Council, Mr. Eichelberger. The dele-
gations then voted for the election of
the President of the Assembly, who
this year was Mr. Francis Byrn, of
Syracuse University, representing
Czechoslovakia. A Credentials Com-
mittee was appointed, of which the
chairman was Eleanor Fabyan, rep-
resentative of Uraguay. There were
several speakers from the delegations
of Bolivia, China, Spain, and Switzer-
land. The session was interrupted at
eleven o’clock by a move for adjourn-
ment in order to observe the peace
demonstration sponsored by New York
University. The delegates from the
U. S. S. R. spoke from the floor
against this motion, and when it was
put to a vote, it was defeated by a
large majority. Several delegations
left to witness the demonstration,
however, and the session was regular-
ly adjourned a few minutes later. The
delegation from Uraguay arrived in
time to hear a number of speeches
delivered vociferously in a pouring
rain, which were effective as oratory,
but not necessarily convincing.

In the afternoon the three commit-
tees met separately to discuss infor-
mally their respective problems, and

Committee Rejects Reading Period

The Curriculum Committee has con-
sidered the suggestions for a reading
period and voted against recommend-
ing such a change at present. Either
of two kinds of reading periods could
be instituted. The first type, for
which time would be taken from the
present sixteen-week semester, would
involve extra reading, laboratory
work, and reports assigned especially
for that period. Such an arrangement
would not meet the demands of advo-
cates of the period, who ask for time
in order to catch up on previous work,
On the other hand, a free week before
each examination period would neces-
sitate the addition of two extra weeks
to the college year, a measure which,
there is reason to believe, would not
only be strongly opposed by the fac-
ulty, but would also be an appreciable
expense to the college.

Inasmuch as the academic year
1935-36 will be altered by special ar-
rarfgements for Big May Day,.and in
view of the fact that the Comprehen-
sive system to be introduced in 1936-37
will change radically the examination
system as it affects juniors and sen-
iors, who now feel the need of a read-
ing period most keenly, any plan for
such a period must*be made to fit the
new, rather than the old system. It is
felt that any recommendation for a
reading period should be postponed
until the comprehensive system has
been given a trial.

Tomorrow is Today
The announcement that Little May Day is to be held on May 2 this

year, instead of May 1, has caused us

felt that one event was invariable and permanent in this world of change
and insecurity: that is, the occurrence of Little May Day on May 1. Be-
sides the fact that the date has been changed, we learn, with added horror,
that the hoop-rolling is to take place on the lower hockey field, rather than

on Senior Row.

Now we are faced with a revolution; and we do not feel prepared to
cope with it. Always we have arisen on May 1, at the unearthly hour of
six, to watch the Little May Day procession and the hoop-rolling on Senior
Row. We cannot quite realize the fact that a change has been made: it is

Since life’s difficulties cannot be avoided, and May Day cannot be
missed, we feel that we should prepare ourselves now to accept, as best we
can, the great change in our lives. We suggest, that, first of all, the seniors
begin to practice the “One-two-three-hop” from the halls to the hockey field

hart, was-one-of-a more-serious-and practical nature than the occasion should
ordinarily have provoked. For a long time we have sat by and witnessed
the frequent discussions of the college food, its quality, its quantity, and its
variety. Not infrequently we; too, have participated in these debates. It is
not our purpose to discuss the. pros and cons of the question, for we feel
that the majority of the students are quite well satisfied with the college
menu, and recognize the difficulty of catering to a large and diversified group

of people under any conditions, and
food prices.

We would like to make a suggestion, however, which might well be
considered by both students and administration alike as a means 6f curtailing
a great deal of the criticism which is so frequently heard and so often unjusti-
fied. There is at present a committee of wardens and managers and other
interested officials which meets weekly to consider the plans for meals and:
to deal with the requests and complaints of the undergraduates. An excel-
lent idea would be to have one or-two representatives of the students meet
with this committee at intervals throughout the year. They would be able
to covey specific ideas of people about new desserts, better coffee, and such

matters, in addition to learning from
the problems connected with feeding
and often thoughtless criticis
replaced by intelligent understanding

would thereby be eliminated and would be

more especially in a period of rising

Theatres

Broad: On Tuesday, April 30,
Ernest Truex will open in a play by
Jack Lait and Stephen Gross called
Hook-Up. Helen Lynd, Edith Talia-
ferro, James Waters and Philip Truex
are additional members of the large
east of this satire on radio. Scheduled
to run for five evenings only.

Garrick: The Mask and Wig
Club’s musical, Drums Fortissimo,
goes on through this week. -On next
Tuesday the Little Opera Company
will present Victor Herbert’s. roman-
tic operetta, Eileen, which is to run
for one week.



Orchestra Program

The Philadelphia Orchestra wili
the production of Wagner’s Die Meis-
tersinger Von Nurnberg. Perform-
ances will be giyen Wednesday eve-
ning at 7.30, Friday afternoon at 1.30
and Saturday evening at 7.30. Fritz
Reiner is the director of the opera in
which Fritz Wolff, noted German
tenor, Charlotte Boerner, . Frederic
Schorr and Gustav Schutzendorf will
take the leading parts.



Movies

Aldine: George Arliss and a large
and extremely capable supporting cast
make the historic life of Cardinal
Richelieu an exciting and interesting
movie. Fortunately, the story and the
costuming make you forget for a
moment that you have, strangely
enough, seen the Cardinal in several
other roles.

Arcadia: Private Worlds, with
Claudette Colbert, Charles Boyer and
Joel McCrea, is the film of the week.
Most of the action takes places in an
insane asylum, where the leading ac-
tors are doctors. Claudette Colbert
manages to overcome the difficulties of
looking more like an overgrown debu-
tante than a serious psychiatrist, and
Charles Boyer is definitely on his way
toward becoming’ another of Ameri-
ca’s foreign matinee idols.

Boyd: Naughty Marietta, starring
Jeanette MacDonald and _ Nelson
Eddy, is remaining for a second week
here. This is undoubtedly one of the
most popular movies now running.

Earle: The Great Hotel Murder,
with Edmund Lowe and Victor Mce-
Laglen. McLaglen is the dumb detec-
tive in a hotel where Lowe spends
his time writing detective stories.
There is a murder, after which these
two gentlemen proceed to mix things
up and unravel them. It is a fast-
moving, rather well-directed movie.

Europa: Chapayev is not the revo-
lutionary film you might be led to be-
lieve from some reports, but it is a
‘significant and artistic production, It
is the story of a Bolshevik leader who
rises from the ranks. during the days
of the Russian Revolution.

Fox: George White’s 1935 Scan-
dals has a good cast and good songs.
James Dunn, Alice Faye, Lyda Roberti,
Ned Sparks and Cliff Edwards all
have leading roles. The songs’ which
you will hear more and more are It’s
an Old Southern Custom and I Was
Born—Too—Late. -
—Karlton: ‘Jack Holt, Mona Barrie
and Jackie Searle play in Unweleome
Stranger. Not a particularly excit-
ing bit of film work, although it is the
sort of thing meant to raise your
blood pressure.

Keith’s: Mississippi, full of South-
ern atmosphere and melodieus croon-
ing, is the present attraction. Bing
/Crosby, W. C. Fields, Joan Bennett,
Gail Patrick and Queenie Smith are
in it. A quartet of little pickaninnies
renders some delightful music.

Stanley: Al Jolson and his wife,

THEATRE REVIEW



Noel Coward will probably go down
in the ages as a competent, witty, and
sprightly playwright; we rather im-
agine that the generations to come will
not appreciate Mr. Coward’s work for
the reason that we do at this moment.
Having just seen Hay Fever as pro-
duced by the Haverford Cap and Bells
Club, assisted by several BYyn Mawr
Undergraduates, we are ready to send
the author gardenias or lilies-of-the-
valley or whatever his favorite flower
may be, simply because his pfay is one
of those adaptable works which can
be done by amateurs, and done well.
We wish to offer sincere congratula-
tions to Cap and Bells for having had
the fortitude and the ability to under-
take the performance of a play of this
type. No doubt a major part of the
success of Friday evening’s perform-
ance is due to the direction of Dor-
othy Lockhart. Throughout the play
it was very obvious that the actors
had been well trained and rehearsed.
The long spaces of silence which are
in Hay Fever were well handled;
there was a commendable lack of that
tense, hurry-up, get-on-stage-quick
atmosphere which sometimes pervades
the best of non-professional shows,
and so often fills the audience with
the most disturbing apprehension and
fear for those behind the footlights.

The Very obvious reason for the suc-
cessful production. of Hay Fever lies
in the facts that the parts were cast
with the greatest foresight, and that
the actors gave well planned and very
competent performances. Doreen Can-
aday, as Judith Bliss, a retired and
temperamental actress, whose sense
of the dramatic always overcomes: her
running, deftly shaded technique. Not-
withstanding the fact that it was dif-

tone of her voice was lovely and beau-
tifully suited to her characterization.

Russet Ritchie, who took the part
of Judith’s novelist husband, David,
was an absolutely convincing, noncha-
lant, tea-drinking Englishman. He
handled himself with a certain effort-
less agility, which made his acting of
the first order. The role of Simon
Bliss, Judith’s and David’s son, gave
William H. Reaves, Jr., ample oppor-
tunity to demonstrate his. dramatic
ability. He employed most signficant
gestures throughout the play, and was
undoubtedly its most completely amus-
ing character.

Catherine Corson played the inge-
nue part of Sorel, Simon’s sister, with
a natural sincerity that completely
characterized this girl who says, “I
sometimes wish we were more nor-
mal and bouncing. I should like to be
a fresh. open-air girl with a passion
for games.” She, really, like the
rest of her family, adores their easy-
going, unperturbed, theatrical exist-
ence.

As Myra Arundel, Betty Welbourne
was a tall and effective vamp.

too difficult. She provided excellent
contrast to that odd group by her
manners and mannerisms, as did Ross
Garner, playing Richard Greatham,
and L. J. Velte, Jr., taking the part
of Sandy Tyrell. Mr. Garner, as a
diplomatist, was forced to strain his
powers of tact to the utmost during
his visit in the Bliss household. Mr.
Velte delivered his lines with all the
blandness of an unemotional Britisher.
The part of Jackie Coryton, an inex-
-_perienced little flapper, was remark-
ably well interpreted by Madelyn

-| Brown, whose high-pitched-voice suit-

‘ed Mr. Coward’s lines perfectly.’ Our
prediction may be incorrect, but “we
believe Grace Fales, who played the
Lmaid Clara, will soon become famous
for her ability to assume a quavering
voice and a hobbling walk. — :

Mrs. Manning Outlines

Next Year’s Courses



Music Room, April 23.—Mrs. Man-
ning announced in ».Chapel various
courses for 1935-36. She discussed the
changes made because several profes-
sors have been granted leaves of ab-
sence, and described the new courses
which some of the departments are
offering.

Professor Herben has been granted
leave of absence, and the course in

a codperative enterprise conducted by
Miss Woodworth, Miss Koller and
Miss Glen. Miss Stapleton and Miss
Palfrey will also have sections and
may give a few of the lectures in
fields in which they are particularly
interested. :

The course in Mediaeval Literature
will be given by Miss Mary Wood-
worth, and the seniors who have not
had courses in the Middle Ages as
well as the juniors majoring in Eng-
lish are urged to take it.

Professor Donnelly is giving her
course in the Eighteenth Century
(English Prose from Dryden to Cole-
ridge); which should help students to
prepare for and supplement the ser-
ies of lectures on the Philosophy of
Style to be given on the Mary Flexner
Foundation by Mr. I. A. Richards, of
the University of Cambridge.

Professor Chew is giving his course
in the Romantic Movement, and Miss
Glen will give her course in Shakes-



peare.

Five courses in English composi-|
tion are being offered. A half-unit|
course in Composition will be given by
Miss Koller especially for those soph-
omores who want further practice in |
writing and who seem ,to need the

training rather. on the side of criti-
cism and~analysis than in narrative
writing or in imaginative writing
which they would get in Miss Meigs’s
Experimental Writing. Mrs. Kirk will
give her course in Criticism, And Miss
Donnelly” her course in ‘Advanced
Writing for juniors and seniors and
specially selected sophomores. - Miss.
Meigs will again’ give her course in
Fiction.

_A new ‘elective is to be offered by
the Greek Department for non-classi-
cal students. Two lectures a week on
Greek Literature will be given by Dr.
Carpenter... The reading will be in
English.

derson will also give the Advanced
course in Economics, Equilibrium, Eco-

nomics and its’ Application, r
Rrofessor\G. G. King has been
granted leave of absence, and _ the

course in Renaissance. Painting and
Flemish Painting will be given by Dr.
Wethey. An Advanced course in Ger-
man Art will be given by Dr. Bern-
heimer. This course will treat Ger-
man Art from its beginning to the
great turning point at the end of the
eighteenth century. Special stress will
be laid on the popular characters of
German art as manifested in the cre-
ative outbursts of the fifteenth cen-
tury to the sixteenth century and
again of the eighteenth century.

A new course is being given by Dr.





Sale of Reproductions

Mr. Ferdinand Raten, of
Baltimore, will be in the “Art
Seminary on Thursday from 11
A. M. to 6 P. M., exhibiting ex-
cellent reproductions and prints
of old masters and works: of
modern artists in color. They
are for sale at reasondble prices.







MacKinnon in the second . semester,
Psychology of Personality, to take the
place of- the course in Psychology

Theory. \

A new course, The Structure of
Matter, is being given by Dr. Dewey.
This is a descriptive treatment of the
evidence for the existence of atoms
and of the elementary particles, the
structure of atoms, and the physical
basis of the periodic system. First-
year chemistry or*first-year physics is
prerequisite.

The course in Sociology is to be
given as a unit course in order to en-
able Dr. Miller to give a more com-
prehensive introduction to the subject.

A new course, Modern Social Wel-
fare, is being offered by Miss Fair-
child. The object of this course is to
acquaint the student with selected
problems related “to social-economic
security and social welfare in indus-
trial society.. Changingconditions of
life and work for various groups and
classes of people are analyzed with
an historical survey of accompanying
attempts at regulation undertaken by
public and private agencies. Poor
law, private philanthropy and public
assistance, unemployment relief and
social legislation in typical states both
here and abroad are considered as a
means of social control. During the
year 1935-36 especial emphasis will be
placed upon analysis of principles and







practice involved in housing programs,
public works, work relief and unem-
ployment and social insurance being
introduced in the United States under
state and federal regulation and the
position of private social agencies in
regard to them. New principles of
the relationship of the individual and
various social groups to organized so-
ciety. will be considered as concerned
with specific. social and ecendmic prob-
lem Occasional field trips may ac-
company class work.

College ‘Must Militarize
Against Insidious Foes



Troubles never come singly. No
sooner does German militarism dis-
turb the tranquil spirits of Bryn

Mawr than German measles manifesi
themselves .to upset our well-ordered
lives. While we were wandering the
world during vacation, the crafty
germs lay in wait for us. They did
not concentrate in any one spot. From
New England to Bermuda, they
stretched their faces and leapt upon
us wherever we went. We returned
to college in the condition technically
termed “exposed,” which takes pkace
while the germs have us in power, but
are still debating whether to spare or
slay. :

Exposure to German measles in
some states and counties of America
is not regarded with great perturba-
tion. Their laws enforce merely the
briefest quarantine, or none at all. But
in the wary township of.Bryn Mawr.
the quarantine is fixed at ten: long
days. Consequently, some of us who
met the guilty bacteria in our travels,
set out for college in a non-quaran-
tined state, only to find

your bags and go back!”’ were the doc-

tor’s orders. “Let no one who has

seen -hide or hair of this impudent

germ enter the untainted precincts of
Bryn Mawr!”

Obediently, as the time of quaran-
tine fell due, the banished girls ‘were
preparing for a second vacation, when
it became evident that positive hordes
were decamping on this pretext. ‘In
Denbigh, one student in apparently
perfect health, suddenly displayed the
peculiar dermatological decoration in-
dicative of German measles, and ex-
posed at least twenty of her fellows
before being safely carried off to the
Infirmary. It was at once decided
that the simultaneous removal of
twenty girls from one hall, together
with the increasing number of vacan-
cies all over the campus, would de-
populate the college. Therefore, the
strict edict of banishment was relax-
ed. A choice was offered of return-
ing home or of reporting almost. hourly
to the Infirmary for observation as
the period of danger should approach.
Bryn Mawr has not, then, scattered
before the invading germ; it has mob-
ilized against it. Soon there will be
observable daily parades to and from
the Infirmary, while drill in military
tactics with thermometers and Lister-
ine will be instituted on all sides.

Dr. Williams Declares
Gold Standard Fails



Continued from Page One
cause of the banking collapse and our
subsequent departure from gold.. The
result was that Roosevelt made his
famous decision not to co-operate but
to retire to our own shores to set-
tle America’s problems first. The de-
preciation of the dollar and the pound,
which followed soon afterward, had a
very bad effect on Europe in general
and the gold bloc countries in particu-
lar. Prices had fallen steadily since
1931 in al countries, but*they leveled

* in the United States and in England

with the departure from’gold. In the
gold countries, however, the decline be-
came more precipitate than ever. The

‘French feel particularly bitter about

this and believe that there is a direct
cause-and-effect relationship between
the two events. The result. of con-
tinued deflation in the. gold bloe coun-
tries has been that Belgium has neat-
ly and. wisely depreciated her cur-
rency, the Swiss are to have a ref-
erendum on the question in June, and
the Dutch are about to take some ac-

tion designed to ease the strain of

maintaining the Gold Standard in the
face of very adverse trading condi-
tions. France cannot deal with the
situation so easily, since she is caught
between two fires. She sees the neces-
sity of devaluation, yet faces the prob-
lem of doing it against the will of
people who fear anything which might
lead to an inflation such as that of
1925.

The Gold Standard .is a compara-
tively simple thing, in the opinion of
Dr. Williams. It is only when assump-
tions made about it are no longer true,
that complications arise. The Gold
Standard provides that each nation tie
all its currency to gold, which is al-
lowed to circulate freely. If trading
balances abroad are greater than the
balances of countries dealing here,
then we must pay our debts in gold,
the international medium of exchange.
When all other nations are on gold,
there exists a common denominator
for all currencies. The essential value
of a world-wide Gald Standard was
that a balanced relationship was main-
tained among the nations. This does
not mean that there would be no fluc-
tuation in the relations between indi-
vidual currencies; it only means that
these fluctuate about a fixed and stable
point, gold. For example, a contrac-
tion of money in the United States,
brought on by large purchases abroad,
indicates a fall in prices which will
occur here. Thus we can sell more
goods abroad and the balance of pay-
ments will swing back, bringing with
it the gold which we had recently
sent abroad to pay for the excess im-
ports. During the years before the
War this system seemed to work al-
most automatically, yet in the last
twenty years we have witnessed two
major collapses, whose causes are dif-
ficult to understand.

The principal cause for the break-
down of the system is that the auto-
matic functioning of the Gold Stana-
ard in creating an equilibrium in the
trade relations of nations has failed.
Instead of there being a rise in prices
in some countries, and a fall in prices
in others, we have had, on the first
occasion, a general rise in prices every-
where, and on the other, a general fall
in prices, neither of which were ac-
companied by the all-important bal-
ancing factor of an opposite tendency
in other parts of the’ world. The re-
sult of this failure was that the value
of gold no longer remained stable.

The problem has remained unsolved,

» chiefly because no one considered what

should be done if the Gold Standard
were destroyed and then had to be re-
stored. In order to restore it there
must be a willingness to make sacri-
fices, difficult to achieve between na-
tions. All want to have a low rate of
exchange in order to have a favorable

_ trade balance; they forget that if some

are to be low, others must be high.

was thrown out, of gear by independ-
ent actions of several nations. France
had placed too high a value on her
currency and found herself in the po-
sition of collecting more gold ‘than
was good for her; the dollar was also
unduly strong and gold poured into
this country. England, on the other
hand, struggled to keep what gold she
had, having made a mistake in 1925 in
returning to gold. The general spec-
tacle in 1929 was that of great one-
way movements in gold, with no recip-
rocal flow to compensate’ for them:
Finally when the collapse came, prices
fell faster because the momentum was
greater, as a result-of the unbalanced
gold conditions prevailing in the
world.

The reactions of the various coun-
tries were interesting. Some exhaust-
ed their gold supplies and proceded to
depreciate their currencies. Finding
that this*did no good, they came in-
evitably to exchange control as the
only way to get the desired equi-
librium, even though it might be so
natural as to be really efficacious. If
all nations decide on exchange con-
trol, however, it will bé fatal to inter-
national _ economic relations. This
would interfere with economic prog-

ress, as there would be no way of.

intrpducing new goods and new tech-
niques. ‘Self-sufficient states are im-
possible, and the fight to control nec-
essary raw materials would be worse
than ever. The futility of this is evi-
dent when it is recalled that the in-
dustrial: nations are each other’s best
customers.

The elements of flexibility must be
re-introduced into the system. There
are dangers here also, for flexibility
of exchange means painful price
changes. The problem must be exam-
ined on the basis of its merits. The
great danger is that’ emotions and
personalities will becloud the real is-
sue, and that nations wjll try to get
advantages at the expense of one an-
other, which can only result, in deadly
economic warfare. In the end we are
driven back to trying to achieve inter-
national stability by re-establishing
the Gold Standard. This might be
facilitated by the re-valuation of some
currencies. Internal flexibility of cur-
rency of each country must then be
established. The single alternative is
economic planning and price pegging,
possible only in a communistice state
and of very questionable efficacy, be-
cause flexibility is the key to the work-
ing of the whole economic machine.

these sessions were resumed Saturday
morning. Each group had a definite
program arranged by the chairman
of the committee appointed to’ work in
collaboration with the rapporteur, who
had the task of correlating the mafe-
rial presented before ‘the meetings or
during the conference itself. This
year a committee on Constitutional
and Legal questions discussed the Re-
vision of Article Sixteen of the Cove-

tives from Bryn Mawr were Eleanor
Fabyan, the head of the delegation,
and Winifred Safford. The Commit-
tee on Technical Organizations: dealt

the college representatives on this
committee. This last group appeared
to be the most successful from the

mously the Draft Treaty, which was
proposed last November by the Unit-
ed. States.

The final Plenary Session of the
Assembly’on Saturday afternoon was
taken up with the reports of the Rap-
porteurs, discussion, which consisted
chiefly of the arguments of dissatis-
fied delegates, and voting of the As-
sembly on the reports which embodied









the accomplishments of the commit-
tees. Professor Phillips Bradley, of
Amherst, presented a: Critique of the
Assembly, in which he declared that
the delegates had been most success-
ful in keeping the roles. of the various
nations, a very difficult thing to ac-
complish. He suggested for next year
a more strict adherence to the formal
procedure of the League itself and a
greater emphasis on the general prin-}
ciples rather than on details of phras-
ing.

The cup for ‘the best individual dele-
gate went to a_ representative of
Switzerland from Swarthmore. The
Uraguayan delegation was honored in
the last session by having Dr. Fen-
wick as Faculty Advisor.

All the colleges represented at the
Assembly consider this conference a
very interesting and vital part of their
work. lWext year, when the delegates
will-méet at.Vassar, Bryn Mawr hopes
to play a more important part. ~We
are handicapped because all that our,
delegates do must be considered extra-
curricular work (except for those ma-
joring in Politics), whereas most. of
the other colleges are allowed to pre-
pare their material as part of the
work for a course in political science
or economics. This could be done|
here in the future with the codpera-
tion of the professors of such courses.

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

‘Twas a calm and cool ‘spring eve-
ning. The .campus was quiet; the‘li-
brary was full of struggling students;
Goodhart was teeming with music lov-
ers and copy-reading journalists. Sud-
denly the eerie sound of the. village
fire alarm filled the air. Undergwad-
uate ears perked up. The question:
“Ts it on campus ?”’ rang out continu-
ally. Undoubtedly it was; the alarm
at the Power House began shrieking.
Swarms of people poured out of every
building. Anxious voices called, “Is it
Dalton?” , Then false rumor spread
the news that Low Buildings was rap-
idly going up in flames. Students and
Faculty members were gathering on
lower campus. Representatives.of the
News Board tore to the scene, reading
proof as they ran, and promptly inter-
viewed Miss Palfrey and Miss Koller.

At Pembroké Arch a_ uniformed
policeman was eagerly. searching for
the conflagration. ‘“There’s supposed

to be a fire around here,” he growled..

Wilson calmly told her story. Said
she, “I was dozing!” She~ smelled
smoke; then dashed from her room to
verify her suspicions. Jane Farrer
and Mary Sands noticed smoke trick-
ling through the windows. Fire Cap-
tain Jane Lewis was immediately noti-
fied. Seeing more smoke coming from
the outside of the~ building, Miss
Lewis turned in the alarm. Alas,
there was no real fire! The smoke
had come from the furnace;

Abby Ingalls and Blanca Noel led

through Wyndham basement for the
causes of the disturbance. By this
time all signs of smoke had disap-
