ARTS GIVEN STAR

The Educational Record has pub-
lished in its April number the report
of the Committee on Graduate In-
The committee was given
the task of. deciding which colleges
and universities were suitably equip-
ped to give graduate degrees, par-
ticularly the degree of Doctor of Phil-
osophy, and the results showed that
Bryn Mawr is the only independent
women’s college which is fitted to give
a Ph.D. However, the girl who goes
to Harvard or, rather, to Radcliffe,
can study all but four of the 35 sub-
jects which the committee considered,
and will find remarkably fine equip-
ment, since Harvard is starred in al-
most every department. .

The report of the Committee de-
scribes its method of judging the
schools as follows: “A list of the
fields was sent to the dean of the grad-
uate school of every institution offer-
ing work for the doctorate. The dean
was requested to check the fields in
which graduate work for the doctorate
was offered, to indicate the number of
doctorates conferred in the last five
years, and to submit a list of the
graduate faculty in each field. From
the reports of the deans, supplement-
ed by study of catalogues, lists of in-
stitutions offering graduate work for
the doctorate in each field were pre-
pared. The secretary of the national
learned society in each field was re-
quested to provide a list of 100 well-
known scholars distributed among the
various branches of the field. To each
of these scholars was sent a list of
all the institutions offering work for
the doctorate in the field with their
respective graduate staffs in the field.
Each scholar was—requested_to_check
those institutions which in his judg-
ment had an adequate staff and equip-
ment to prepare candidates for .the
doctorate; and to star the depart-
ments of the highest rank, roughly
the highest 20 per cent.”

to give their opinions jncluded sev-
eral from Bryn Mawr: Professor

Pro Arte String Quartet
Will Give Three Recitals



_ (Especially contributed by Miss Park)

Just as its year ends the College
has an extraordinary chance to hear
rare and beautiful music. Mrs, Eliza-
beth Sprague Coolidge has given the
College three programs of chamber
music by the Pro Arte String Quar-
tet. The programs and the dates of
the three evenings of next week follow
at the end of the article.

To Mrs. Coolidge herself the coun-
try owes a great deal; she has far-see-
ing, plans for music in America, par-
ticularly in the case of chamber mu-
sic. She has not only encouraged its
composition and playing, but she has
materially supported the existence of
several Quartettes. The Eschner
Quartet and her other proteges are
available for the usual audiences, but
she has also established at the Li-
brary of Congress in Washington the
Foundation called by her name,
through which chamber music concerts
in great variety are given in Wash-
ington itself and admirable broad-
easts of chamber music over WJZ are
made weekly. Last summer as part
of her far-reaching plan, the Pro
Arte Quartet ‘was sent to the Cen-
tury of Progress for a series of Cham-

ber Music recitals, and she is this

spring making a gift in several places
of the same three recitals by the Quar-
tet which they gave in Chicago last

summer. Bryn Mawr College and the}

Peabody Institute of Music in Balti-
more are among the fortunate recipi-
‘ents of this series during the coming
week.

Had her pose of studied frivolity con-

he might, Ed’s (Mr. Truex): fainting

Kitty that he was not to be dallied

that the appearance of Kenneth’s

meant in the code that there was a

Certainly Elizabeth (Miss Gateson)
was no better than she should be. To
neglect T. S. Eliot and, Humbert Wolfe

one is not honestly a Bryn Mawr

the brazen shamelessness with which
she took advantage of the accidental

It has been many years:
since Gondoliers was given in Bryn|
Mawr; therefore, because it is being
given for the first time in Goodhart:
and because it is not well known,
around Bryn Mawr, it ought to prove
interesting ad worth while to watch.

The Gondoliers is considered one of
Gilbert and Sullivan’s best. The story
is light, the music is light, but the

The operetta is being directed by
Mr. Alwyne and. Mr, Willoughby, who

| Senior Hoops Reveal
Romantic Traditions



Custom Formerly Associated
With Orals; Hoops Broken
Three Times



FREAK BEQUESTS MADE



A hoop, to the layman, is “a strip
of wood or metal bent in a circular
form and united at the ends, for hold-
ing together the staves of casks, tubs,

etc., or any of various purposes as]

for use as a child’s plaything.” To
us, hoops are far more than that. They
possess the signal honor of being the
playthings of Bryn Mawr Seniors.
Their significance is deep; their roots
are embedded in the remote past of the
‘college. They are, in short, tradition;
and the mention of them is apt to
bring tears to the eyes of alumnae, for
they conjure up a picture of what is
conventionally known as_ care-free
youth.

Hoop-rolling was not always'a part
of little May Day. Until 1919, the en-
tire Senior Class used to sit, hoops in
hand, on the Senior steps, until a
Sophomore runner brought them the
news that the black sheep of the class
had at last passed their Orals. Presi-

dent ‘Thomas herself, on one occasion,

called the glad message down from a
window in the Chapel to the hushed
multitude below. Sometimes the sus-
pense was frightful; two or three Sen-
iors would be called back as many as
four times to read again.
the victims at last issued forth, worn
but victorious, the class jn a body
would rush to Senior Row and roll
hoops wildly as a gesture of triumph.

On three dreary occasions, in 1907,
1913, and 1919, not everyone passed
her orals. Then the class glumly
broke their hoops — Hoop Massacres
these mournful occasions were called—
to keep bad luck from passing down
to succeeding Seniors. They thought
they knew the reason for their misfor-
tune in 1919. It was blamed on one
Senior who had in her possession an
insidious hoop quite intact, bearing the
date of the ill-omened year, 1913. Af-
ter 1919 the orals began to be writ-
ten examinations. Hoop-rolling and
May Day were consolidated, which
ended that chapter in the romantic
past of hoops.

We unearthed a half-hoop that goes
back, even in its mutilated state, to
1910. There are a few barre] hoops
of archaic appearance, pleasing to the
artistic soul, that have been floating
about for years. Embroidery hoops are
the latest variation, with appropriate
‘inscriptions; as:--the First Cave
Woman to Eve; or Queen Christina to
Greta Garbo. All the hoops and sticks
came originally from Germany. Since
the depression, ingenious Seniors have
been getting dowels cut up, three for
ten cents, at a sawmill, or making
sticks out of clothes hangers or broom
handles. The five-and-ten-cent store,
we hear, laid in a special supply of
appropriate ribbons this year, promi-
nently displayed, a week before May
Day, at five cents a.yard, fit prey.
for the thrifty shopper. . The theory
has been advanced that an interesting

Lstudy could be made on the size and

fading capacity of ribbons on hoops as

J. L. Lowes Will Be

Flexner Lecturer

—_—_——

Distinguished Scholar, Critic,
and Author Has New Ideal
of Scholarship

SUBJECT TO BE hi ts

Dr. John Livingston Lowes has now,
to-our infinite pleasure, accepted Miss
Park’s invitation to give’ the Flexner
lectures here next autumn. He is
well known to both scholars and stu-
dents of literature for his splendid
work on Chaucer and on Coleridge,
and therefore it is with extraordinary
interest and anticipation that Bryn
Mawr looks forward to the series
which he will give on John Keats.

Dr. Lowes is certainly one of the
foremost men of letters of this gen-
eration and in America. He comes to
Bryn Mawr with many special dis-
tinctions; he has many honorary de-
grees, including those of Ph.D., Doc-
tor of Law, Doctor of Literature,
and Doctor of Human Laws. At pres-
ent he is president of the Modern
Language Association, a Fellow of the
National Institute of Arts and Let-
ters, a member of the Academy of
Arts and Sciences, and of the Ameri-
can Philological Association. He has
been a professor. at Harvard from
1918-30, and Francis Lee Higginson
Professor of English Literature since
1930. -

In addition to his valuable profes-
sional experience, Dr. Lowes is fur-
ther qualified as a scholar and lec-
turer because of his writing in Con-
vention and Revolt in Poetry, The
Road to Xanadu, and the Geoffrey
Chaucer, masterly studies of. the poet-
ic imagination. Both books have had
extraordinary success: not only have
they interested scholars, but the treat-
ment of the material collected by bedu-
lous research is so well done that the
books had enormous popular appeal.
Dr. Lowes, in a recent ‘article in the
publication of the Modern Language
Association, explained. his ideas of
scholarship; the object of research
lies in “applying the methods of sci-
ence to the interpretation of an art.”
The fundamental prerequisite of in-
terpretation is “knowledge, exhaustive
and exact,” but the end of research is
criticism, research “for the illuminat-
ing of the understanding.”

It is this ideal of scholarship, whieh
Dr. Lowes has already practiced in
his treatment of Coleridge and Chau-
cer, that makes him doubly welcome to
Bryn Mawr.







Deanery Reception Held

for Russian Ambassador



The college arose sleepily from its
beds last Sunday morning to find that
Bryn Mawr had been suddenly plung-
ed into a real red-letter day and that
festivities were going on to the left
and right of us, and, in fact, on all
sides:. Mr. Alexander Troyanovsky,
the’ Soviet Ambassador to the United
States, was to pay Bryn Mawr the sig-
nal honor of visiting the college, and
eight hundred guests had been invited
to ‘a reception in his honor at the
Deanery in the afternoon.

We knew at once that it was going
‘to be a-great day because all the bars
had been- taken down from the gates
and limousines were whizzing around
the campus roads at a highly danger-
ous pace. Flags were flying, report-
ers were milling around the grounds,
important-looking people were arriv-
ing in throngs, and Bryn Mawr had
a truly holiday air usually seen only
on Big May Day.

from finding a vantage point on the
grass and watching for the arrival of
Mr. Troyanovsky. He came at last
and was seen entering the Deanery to
meet crowds of anxious reporters,
while foreign cars converged upon the
Deanery literally from all directions.
More and more guests came and came,
but they apparently all found shelter
in the Deanery, for no one left until
late in the afternoon. When they
finally did emerge, they were assert-
ing vociferously that they had had
a thoroughly delightful time.

; There Are Tears for Boredom

Our present relaxed state is so normal a symptom of spring apathy
that we scarcely need a psychiatrist to cure us, but this lethargy is
more fundamental than spring fever, for it combines spring apathy
with a permanent state of super-boredom. There comes a time when
we, enjoy nothing, when not even the great American pastime of
movie-going can charm us from our lethargy. Such ennui in the
young of the New World really calls for radical treatment, and we
of Bryn Mawr are especially in need of rehabilitation. There is
searcely a play or a movie we see, and rarely a book we read that
amuses us. We do include in our vocabulary the grand word “swell,”
but much more comprehensive to our undiscerning minds, is the
greater “lousy.” ;

Our condemnation is direct, snap judgment that can be ques-
tioned by no one. We do not stop to constructive criticism ; all movies,
plays, and books are so thoroughly bad that they may as ‘well be
thrown out in their entirety. After all, there will be more and better

- examples of those forms of art when we get around to working at our

masterpieces. We haven't started yet, of course, and we haven’t an
idea with which to start, but all the inspiration of the a%és will come
at the beck of our sheepskins, and them we shall have time to work,
when we cease to be harried by oun professors.

Our criticism is valuable since it comes from us, in whom rests
the future of the civilized race. And genérally our opinions do the
world no harm because elder generations have always expected and
ignored the revolutionary spirits of.youth. But they also expect some
ardor among us—and they: are not finding it. We think that the whole
set-up. of civilization is incaleulably wrong. Even our amusements
we find wearying, and we go through a succession of entertainments,
dramatic, literary and otherwise, getting ourselves more and more
bored by our reactions.

The greatest enjoyment in life comes from lending our whole-
hearted appreciation to those things that give us pleasure. If we are
interested enough in literature and the drama to patronize them, we
shall enjoy them much more fully if we let ourselves be amused and
enthralled by them. In our present state we are fast becoming bored
both to extinction and to tears. To escape this ruin, we must cultivate
a slightly more tolerant attitude, even at the risk of being Pollyannas ;
and if we find that there is still something rotten in the state of modern

civilization, if too much is still “lousy,” we might try to make our
eriticism more constructive, and entertain ourselves with the problem”

of finding out what is wrong and what is right.



Examination. Selfishness
The hour of our judgment draws nigh, and as we near the exami-
nation period, we are losing our minds completely. We look at the

- posted schedule of ¢xaminations with growing horror, as wé realize that

we have several exams in a row and that the situation will probably
be the finish of us.

What we do not realize is that every time we propose a change in
the schedule, we present just one more difficulty to an harrassed Dean,
‘in that the plans must be continually changed, and that eyery revision

‘js likely ‘to precipitate a large-number of other students into exactly

the jamb that one of us is trying to avoid. Furthermore, every time
we have a good exam schedule, we should realize that others are incon-
venienced; we must accept with resignation the. fact that we cannot all
bé accommodated when we are confronted with a hard arrangement in
cur finals. If we are to remain-in- any state other than~hysteria; we
shall haye to trust the Powers, eventhough they bring us gifts that
make us anticipate folding up in blue books and passing quietly away

In the early morn
Were maidens in plain view
Clad as they were born.

The forms of lower animals
Taught in biology.

But other figures caught our gaze,
All thoughts of bugs had fled.

Our eyes were turned to freshmen
Just getting out of bed.

April showers sweetly scented
Float down in limbs so bare

And also out the window
Into the morning air.

Shades aren’t just for use at night
If in the day they’re needed.

May this kind hint be heeded.

Dear, dear Mad One,

It has been so long, so very long,
since I wrote you last. I saw you
today. You looked so pale and thin
under the grayness of your spring tan.
Is it for me you yearn and become
so very wan? Tell me! Sweet. Hat-
ter, I will bring you Persian tea and
raisin bread with caviar to revive you.

You know, this sun-bathing is not,
to my mind, an enticing sport. _I tried
it. I am miserable now. I have to go

‘around wrapped in leaves and Un-

guentine, and my feet hurt.from chas-
ing puppy dogs barefoot. I take off
my shoes to be truly rural and then
wicked canines make off with them,
while I puff over the stubbly, prickly,
waspy fields, in hot pursuit.

Another thing is the violets. Those
delightfully unobtrusive little things!
Why the very thought of all these peo-
ply lying on them, while they squint
unconcernedly up at the beaming sun!
And the sun irritates me “when he
beams so. Why does he beam, Mad
One? Always, always he mocks me.
I have no peace, even when he sees
me in the deplorable state I am now.
He just beams and, like the Whiting,
flames out, “Will you won’t you, will
you won’t you, won’t you, will you join
the dance?” And so I do; And I
get more and more like a living fire
engine. I have to use so many leaves
a day that they are fearing for the
beauty of the campus. They even held
a senate to discuss the danger!

Ah, but what am I doing talking of
nothing but myself? I should be tell-
ing you not.to stay up all night over
your statistical report onthe origin
of fedoras. Promise me to be good,
now, won’t you? It would be too, too
tragic for you to wilt, you delightful
maniac. I cease fondly, and send you
a thousand bursts of admiration,

Compassionately,
MIRANDA.

Merion C. Cc. Wins .

Over Varsity Team



Haskell and Faeth Defeated by|*
Cricket Club Stars in
Close Match



BEAVER IS VANQUISHED



On Wednesday afternoon, the Var-
sity Team was defeated by the Mer-
ion Cricket Club, 3-2, in what will
probably remain the closest match of
the season.

Haskell bowed to Miss Page, 6-1,
7-5, in the first match, playing stead-
ily but without her usual strength and
accuracy. tal

Miss Anne Townsend defeated
Faeth in two straight sets, 6-2, 6-3.
Faeth displayed her usual good form,
but. lacked control, force in her back-
hand shots and served an unusual
number of doubles, winning:hér points
mostly in base line placements and
smashes. Miss Townsend took the
first three games, lost to Faeth in
the fourth in spite of a last minute
rally from a 40-0 score, and took the
fifth in straight points. Faeth took
the next game as receiver, but lost
the set on her own serve. The second
set started out with beautiful long
rallies, and Faeth took the first two
games. Miss Townsend, however, be-
gan to put more form into her shots
and, ‘although Faeth deuced the games
many times, she was unable to win
more than one more game and lost to
her steadier opponent, 6-3.

Miss Daly defeated Perry in the
third match, 6-1, 6-2. Miss Daly took
the first three games by excellent
placing. Perry took the fourth in
service, but lost the last two on wild
shots and a weak backhand. In the
second set, Miss Daly drew Perry to
the net several times, then won the
point with a hard side baseline shot.
Her placements were even better than
in the first set, but Perry would have
had an even chance to win if she had
played a hard baseline game.

Jackson took the fourth match, 6-2,
against Mrs. Doris. Playing her first
match for Varsity, Jackson gives
promise of being one of the steadiest
players on the squad. Her form is
quite good, her serves fairly strong
and well placed, but a weak backhand
broke up several nice rallies and lost
several. points. A few more matches
and she should settle down and have
her ball under better control.

In the doubles, Haskell and Faeth
took Miss Daly and Miss .Townsend,
6-3, 7-5. In the first set Bryn Mawr
played the base line consistently, while
Faeth’s smashes at the net invariably
won the point. In the second set, Miss
Daly and Miss Townsend rallied to
make a concerted effort, but failed to
break through the Bryn Mawr team.



On Saturday, Varsity swamped the
Beaver College tennis team, 5-0, but
we are sorry to say that the matches
were far from the usual standard.

Haskel] seemed to be playing a much
steadier game than on Wednesday,
both in the singles and in the doubles,
in which she was the mainstay against
Miss Hall and Miss Staples.

Perry played a sips game against
Miss Orr, but again eemed to lack
the finesse and control ined would
be needed against a stronger player
who plays a long game.

Faeth easily took her opponent, Miss
Staples, into camp by sheer strength,
but here again her strokes seemed to
lack the punch which usually make
them steady point winners.

Jackson won the fourth match, play-
ing a long game against Miss Hall’s
short strokes, and picked the ball up
neatly from mid-court to send it to
her opponent’s backhand in the cor-
ner.

The first set of the doubles were
extremely disappointing. Faeth ‘serv-
‘ed doubles consistently and more than
one of her smashes went into the net.
In_ the second set, however, Bryn
Mawr came to life and took the match,
6-1, a score which they should have
made on the first set also.

Karl Marx to Eugene V. Debs (it ap-

Individual Talent, Eliot just nar-
rows the. terms “classic” and “ro-
mantic” to the more explicit ‘“ortho-
dox” and “heretical,” carefully defines
“tradition” as “a way of feeling and
acting which characterizes a group
throughout generations,” and “ortho-
doxy” as a force which exercises a
“conscious intelligence,” and then goes
on to inveigh against modern literary
heresy. It is not that any heresy is
completely wrong: on the contrary
any important heresy is essentially
partly right. But Eliot deplores raod-
ern heretical tendencies because of the
insistence
upon “self-expression,” ‘“‘individual-
ity,” and personality: the author who
consciously cultivates his differences
appeals only temporarily to an undis-
criminating public interested in sam-
pling all nostruris and educating it-
self in “points of views.” There is no
lasting significance to modern writing
because there is no moral significance
to-it: there is yo basis for censorship
while the morals of churéh. and state
are not the same, and while there is
no struggle at all between good and
evil. Blasphemy, in our world, con-
stitutes merely a department of bad
form, men (as in Hardy) are simply
vehicles for the emotions, and since
passions do not differentiate men,
again, there is no struggle. Eliot at-
tributes the lifelessness of modern art
to “the crippling effect upon men of
letters of not having been born and



brought up in the environment of a
living and central tradition.” Our
modern tradition. is largely sentimen-
tal because of the absence of a cor-
rective orthodoxy and because there is
so small a number of people “in pos-
session 6f any criteria for discrimi-
nating between good and evil.”

That, in effect, is what T. S. Eliot
has to say, and phrase it any way you
will, the idea is worthy of considera-
tion. You may say that he has “gone
religious;” but is there any good rea-
son why we should not seek sume
“spiritual significance’ in modern art?
He is saying much that Matthew
Arnold said in his “On the Study of

‘Poetry”—that art must not be sub-

mitted to either a personal or an his-
torical estimate, but rather, be judged
by touchstones of literary merit. We
suspect also that Arnold’s ‘higher
seriousness” is akin .to Eliot’s concep-
tion of “moral significance.” :

other essay on his favorite theme, or

triumphant successes in every coun-
try in Europe. Their large repertory
includes compositions of Hadyn, Mo-
zart, Beethoveri, Schubert, Mendels-
sohn, Schumann, and Brahms, and is
varied “by an interesting’ and critical
selection of pieces from the chamber
music of the present day. They act as
the mouthpiece for the most character-
istic music for strings composed at

the present moment anywhere in the,

world, and play it with a youthful en-
thusiasm and an amazing ability to
immaterialize their execution until the
idea of the “musical instrument” is
practically forgotten.

The three concerts at Bryn Mawr
will be given in Goodhart on the eve-
nings of May 18, 16, and 19, and will
constitute in their entirety an ex-
tremely interesting series. . The first
concert will contain established classi-
cal pieces,sthe second more modern
classical pieces, and the third will be

music. The programs are:

HERE THE RARE WINES come

from they know that the two

most important things in wine-mak-

ing are the selection of the grapes

and the long years of ageing in the
wine cellars.

IT’S VERY MUCH THE SAME in
the making of a cigarette. You have
to get the right tobaccos, then put
them away to age and mellow in
wooden casks.

You can’t make a good cigarette
like Chesterfield in a day. It takes —
over two years to age the tobaccos”
for your Chesterfields—but it adds
something to the taste and makes
them milder.

Everything that modern Science
really knows about is used to
