Ovr Contribution. on
“The Main Linér,” of ,which Fran- j
cis M. Stifler, °25, is editor, in a recent |
‘editorial commented. as follows on the!
‘attitude of Haverford and Bryn Mawr
Colleges to Main Line. residents: .
“Bryn Mawr College offers remarkable
entertain. ent and instruction to _ its
-friemds and neighbors in lectures, con-
certs, recitals, plays, etc. which are pre-
sented.at Goodhart Halleand to which the
pulic is welcome.,
“Haverford College similarly extends
the courtesy of its ‘lectures and other
functions to nearby residents who care
to attend.
“These two institutions are not closed
to those outsife the immediate faculties
wand studea~ “sdies, and grounds and
doors are thrown open to neighbors who
care for the intellectual stimulation or
the quiet -placidity of the cloistered,
scholarly life. The ‘No Trespassing’
Signs at the gates are not invitations to
stay out, but warnings to evildoers that
the” privilege of easy access may~ bet
denied to them if abused. The grounds
are ours for contemplative Jor meditative
wanderings; the libraries are ours for
reference and research, and arrangements
c 11 be made for borrowing books. Much
of the splendid equipment of these in-
stitutions will be made available to the
public if it will show interest insco-opera-
tion. Here is a delightful privilege, easily
within reach, demanding , no payment
other than interest and enthusiasm.”—
