Faculty .Committee Chooses
Fourteen Student Marshals
To Participate



PROCESSION LARGEST

IN COLLEGE’S HISTORY |



The Academic Procession which will
inaugurate the official ceremonies
commemorating the Fiftieth Anniver-
sary of Bryn Mawr College -will be
one of the most interesting and color-
ful spectacles connected with the
celebration. The procession will form
at about 10.45 A. M. along the front
of the Library and on the walk lead-
ing from Taylor Hall to the Library.

Promptly at eleven it will begin to}

march down toward Goodhart Hall,
moving slowly along the path to
Rockefeller and through the Arch as
is customary in the commencemént
procession.

The procession will be orie of the
largest in the history of the college.

* Among its members will be some of

the most. distinguished people in the
country. There will be representa-
tives from nearly all the institutions
of higher learning east of the Mis-
sissippi.

Leading the procession will be Miss
Mary Gardiner, of the Biology De-
partment, who is a faculty marshal.
Immediately following -her will come
the first two of the fourteen under-
graduate marshals, Miss Eleanor Taft,
1939, and Miss Eloise Chadwick-Col*
lins, 1989. They will guide the rep-
resentatives of the classes from 1890
to 1939 to their seats on the right
hand side of Goodhart, just in front
of the aisle. There are two represen-
tatives of each class, two representa-
tives of the Graduate School, two
Masters of Arts and two Doctors of
Philosophy. In the case of the alum-
nae the two chosen are the president
of her classand a personchosen by
her. The undergraduate classes are
represented by the president and vice-
president.

Following them will come two more
student marshals, Miss Ellen Stone,
1936, and Miss Eleanor Sayre, 1938.
They will escort the members of the
class of 1889 to the steps of the plat-
form, where Miss Gardiner. will seat
them. Other alumnae representatives
will be seated next by Miss Edith Rose,
1937, and Miss Laura Thomson,.1937.
This group completes the first part
of the procession.

Plan Lecture Series

At this time of international stress
it is imperative that every clear-think-
ing, public-spirited citizen have at his
command .unbiased, realistic’ and
timely facts upon which to found an

intelligent attitude ‘toward world
problems. As all students of foreign
relations are ~ aware, the Foreign
Policy Association is devoted to the



dissemination of just such facts as]

these,

The Foreign Policy Association ‘is
a nation-wide organization whose pur-
pose is to develop in America a body
of public opinion, accurately informed

and expertly critical in regard to in-|

ternational affairs In the words of
Elihu Root, ‘A democracy which

‘undertakes to control its own foreign

relations “ought to know something
about the subject”; and it is upon this

conviction that. the aim of the Foreign |'

Policy Association is based.

The Association functions through
discussion meetings and publications.
During the course of the coming win-
ter there will be six luncheon-discus-
sions at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel
at which authoritative speakers will
present two or more differing points
of view on current international prob-
lems. The tentative schedule for these
meetings is as follows: November 23,
December 7, January 11, February 1,
February 29 and March 21. The first
meeting will probably be on some
phase of the Italo-Ethiopian dispute.

Meanwhile the weekly and fort-
nightly Foreign Policy publications
are being given over almost entirely
to this subject. These are prepared
by a research staff of ten experts and
include a weekly News-Bulletin con-
sisting of timely interpretations of
current events of world-wide import-
ance; fortnightly reports which give
the background as well as the immedi-
ate implications of certain selected
problems; and a series of six “Head-
line Books.” The inaugural issuance
of this last series appeared in the
early part-of October and received an
immediately enthusiastic reception.
Entitled “War Tomorrow; Will We

Faculty Rehearse “‘Cymbeline” in Absentia;
Three Mock Imogens Romp for Charity



Last week there appeared the provo-
cative announcement that the faculty
planned a production of Cymbeline, in
order to “refresh our jaded thespian
enthusiasm,” and that undergraduates
would be permitted to attend a rehear-
sal on Friday night. At the foot of
the announcement were the words:
“Directed by W. Safford and A.
Reese” and “No Faculty Admitted.”
A few misguided souls wandered
about, querying plaintively of all whom

they met: “How can the. faculty re-
hearse Cymbeline if they aren’t
there?” The answer to that is that

the faculty can do miraculous things,
even to being in Goodhart when
they’re not admitted. The perform-
ance was hilarious, with a large and
well-selected cast, which included not
one, but three, Imogens, played by
Mrs. Manning (Letitia Brown), Mrs.
Chadwick-Collins (Mary Sands) and
Miss Donnelly (Margaret Kidder).
From the opening of the curtains,
which had been bulging mysteriously
for several moments before, there was
“no lapse in’ the loud and delighted
laughter of the audience.

Dr. Chew (Peggy Veeder) and Mr.
Samuel Arthur King (Gertrude Leigh-

ton) were directing the cast admir-.
Hollinshed’s
' Chronicles and Graduated Exercises

in Articulation for any difficulties

ably, “recommending ~



which might arise. Mr. King stated
that, had he been threé inches taller,
“he would have been the world’s great-
est Hamlet.” Miss Veeder and Miss
Leighton both gave excellent imita-
tions, with carefully copied gestures.
The most effective imitation in the
show was that. of Letitia Brown as
Mrs. Manning. Attired in a suit, and
extremely well made-up, she attained
the high point of the performance
when she approached the bed where
the other two Imogens lay, and settled
herself thereon with a sigh and the
remark: “I’m _ perfectly content to
uphold the Trinity.”

Winifred Safford as Dr. Weiss,
Anne Reese as Dr. Gray, and Mar-
garet Kidder as Miss Donnelly gave
splendid characterizations, correct in
almost every detail. Other outstand-
ing performances were: Edith Rose
as Dr. Bernheimer, Doreen Canaday
as Miss Ward, Frederica Bellamy
as Dr. Ernst Diez, and Barbara Mer-
chant as Dr. Miiller in the role of
Posthumous Leonatus, heaping vilest
abuse in the sweetest, softest tones im-
aginable.

AIM TO IMPROVE WORK

Goodhart, October 24.—Mrs.- Man-
ning announced in Chapel that, ac-
cording to the Faculty’s decision at
their October meeting, a-final exami-
nation in the major -subject will be
required next year for every éandi-
date for the A. B. degree, The ex-
amination will make obvious changes
in the programs of seniors, since
preparation for it will take one-quar-
ter of the student’s time. The object
of the examination is to improve the
character of undergraduate work,
especially in the last two years.

There are two kinds of examina-
tion on which educators have recently
been working: the simple test, meant
to divide the “‘sheep from the goats,”
and the type which is a climax to
one’s intellectual work, which allows
threads of knowledge to be gathered
together and presented with a per-
spective gained by a continuous study.
Psychologists who have worked on ob-
jective tests to classify people, find
their native abilities sometimes with-
out reference to their acquired knowl-
edge. These examinations do test ac-
curacy and speed, but not the powers

d organization.
The’ final examination, at Bryn Mawr
will not be of this objective type.
The preparation, even more than the
actual examination, is important. The
grading ’will be carefully done, and a
faculty committee is trying to standar-
dize examinations so that all will be of
the same relative difficulty.

This examination will give oppor-
tunity for broader reading, and a_bet-
ter working out of ideas in the field
one knows best. The sciences will
give more chances for field work,
laboratory work, etc. The languages
want to stress more phonetics and
linguistics, and to emphasize the use
of the language. The extra time given
for reading will allow the student to
judge how books express ideas; and
the general readings related to her
subject will give her a basis for a
philosophy in her field. The inter-
relation of subjects of different de-
partments is to be considered, espe-
cially for the examination. Codpera-
tion and interdependence between the
departments is to be desired, not so

Strange Beasts People
Dark Depths of Merion

‘To the collection in 53-57 Merion
Hall of frog and fish embryos, a skull,
and what is believed to be a young
rat, is added another, but more lively
constituent in the person of Louis
XI, the praying (not preying) man-
tis. He owes his present existence
in the lap of luxury to Miss Augus-
ta Arnold, his sponsor, who is very
busy catching his meals for him in
her spare time. It seems that Louis
will eat anything in the line of in-
sects as long as it is served to him
properly. He acknowledges a pre-
ference for Japanese Beetles, but_ of
late he has had to content himself
with live flies, bees, and moths. He
prefers his meals on the hoof, as it
were, because obviously they are so
much fresher when alive. There: is
nothing more unappetising than an
old, dusty moth. « This finicky atti-
tude of his forces Miss Arnold to
forego the use ofa fly-swatter, and
to catch Louis’ meals in her bare
‘hands. She keeps a small bottle of
chloroform (which she acquired with
much difficulty and many formalities
at the drug store) for the express
purpose of dazing insects so that
she won’t be forced to damage a
wing or appendage in order to con-
trol them. But, of course, she can’t
feed a chloroformed ‘dead fly to
Louis because he would then run the
risk of absorbing too much chloro-
form himself. Accordingly, after she
has put the fly to sleep, she waits
for it to awake and breath out the
anaesthetic, before presenting it to
the mantis.

Brave Fire-Fighters Save Shack

Two brave Bryn Mawr students
saved the shack near Low Buildings
and perhaps Low Buildings itself
from fire on Sunday afternoon. Some-
one had evidently thrown a lighted
match into the brush along the road
in front of the shack. A fire was
flaring up just as the students strolled
by. Since their violent stamping on
it did no good, they rushed to Low
Buildings for fire buckets and aid.
The maid, the only person present, did
not seem interested. The two hero-
ines grabbed fire buckets and a broom
and dashed for the spreading fire,
but were unable to stop it. At length
one of the fire-fighters ran to a house
further up Gulph Road and begged
the owner to telephone quickly for the
fire department. The kind lady polite-
ly asked her to sit down. Some time
was spent in convincing the lady that
the fire was dangerous; but she finally
called the department. Meanwhile the °
man from the power house and two
kind automobilists with a fire extin-
guisher quenched the blaze. The heroic
girls continued their walk and seven
minutes later the Bryn Mawr village
fire-engine tinkled down Roberts Road
past Low Buildings. They were just
a little late and never saw even the
ashes of the fire because they turned _
left when they reached Gulph Road,

Between the Past and the Future “

At the end of this week Bryn Mawr College is witnessing the
vathering of some of the most distinguished people in the country who
come here to help the college celebrate its fiftieth birthday. The present
college generation extends to them a most cordial welcome. We find our-
selves in a somewhat peculiar situation as we watch the events of the
anniversary program take place. We ourselves have not the same
attitude toward or understanding of the college as do the alumnae
who are gathering here from the far corners of the globe, many of them
after years of absence from these familiar scenes. Neither can we, of
course, envision the college as it will be in future years. Actually we
vepresent a bridge from the historic past to the imminent future.

Understanding, thus, our relation to the past of the college, it may
be of interest to give our conception of the place of the college in our
jives. This conception has two aspects, the immediate present and the
distant future. At this moment Bryn Mawr completely absorbs us.
It is our life and we are almost: entirely occupied with it. We are
inheritors of the past in the sense that the standards which we are
required to live up to were set for us in the early days of the founding
of the college and expanded and altered in the passage of years as
conditions demanded. The vision in planning and the boldness in
execution of the founders has developed into the existing organization

of our education. The range, depth and liberal character of the train-

ing given by Bryn Mawr are attested by the many alumnae who are
prominent in teaching, research, business and the community, and by
the remarkable number of those who have served on the faculty at one
point in their careers and who have now passed into new centers of
activity and achieved outstanding success. On the other hand, we are
indebted to the alumnae for many of the physical surroundings in
which we live and work. By virtue of the two earlier campaigns not
only was Goodhart Hall erected, but also the endowment funds were
greatly expanded, thus enabling the administration to secure and to
keep excellent scholars and teachers for the faculty. The Library and
Rockefeller are also partly the result of alumnae financial aid.

The conception of the place of the college in our later lives is more
diffieult.to visualize. The future of each individual is bound to be
influenced greatly by the knowledge and experience gained from the
four years at Bryn Mawr. We often fail to realize that our future
opinions will take form and shape through the habits of mind which
we acquire here. Our later reactions, too, will be conditioned by those
of our undergraduate days. As inheritors of the past and the presagers
of the future, we hope after another fifty years to look back on a second

era as filled with achievements as the first.



Thou Gracious Inspiration

We do not point with pride, but we certainly view with alarm the
insidious rumor which is circulating among us, to the effect that the
college hymn, Thou Gracious Inspiration, will not be sung at any time
during the Fiftieth Anniversary celebration. If the rumor is based on
fact, we disapprove of that fact. To us, who have sung it for four
years when occasion or our own feelings demanded, this hymn has
become the perfect expression of the tribute we owe Bryn Mawr. Now,
when honor is being paid to the college in so many new and impressive
ways, the oldest and most familiar way should not therefore be
neglected. It should be-honored itself as part of our history and tradi-
tion. There can be no reason for disregarding it because of incongruity
with the formal character of the various functions, since the hymn
atones in sincerity and beauty for whatever formality it may lack. We
do not ask that it be sung solely because of our own fondness, but
because we feel that without it, the celebration will be incomplete.



Violations of Library Rules

News editors great joy because one of its long standing crusades had at

ast reached a successful culmination. There was.some sorrow, too, because
eugene subject had thereby become obsolete. Nevertheless,
xr the opening of college we learn that the issue is far from
on the contra

| was brought up before the College Council and more drastic penalties wert

no less than three brand new books were removed from the shelves of the

|New Bogk Room without being registered at the Loan’ Desk. That these

losses should occur simultaneously with the appearance of the printed regula-
tions about the use of college books, indicates either a striking indifference

to necessarily established riles or else a deliberage violation of them.

Offenders perhaps ‘do not realize the ‘serious consequences which can
be the result of illegally removing books from thé Library. Many of the
students will recall the discussions of last winter when there were such
widespread violations of Reserve Room privileges. At that time the matter

decreed as a result of their deliberatgpas. Students ‘who broke the rules
were to receive only one warning before becoming liable to a more severe
penalty. For a second serious offense a penalty of suspension or possibly
expulsion can be imposed. This rule will be very strictly enforced if losses
such as those of last week-continue. Every student in college ,is responsible
for knowing the Library rules and there is no excuse for not understanding
their full implications when a printed copy is available on request.

Editor of The College News:

In view of the present European
crisis and the vital place of the United
States in the organization of the fam-
ily of nations, I should like to raise a
question for the student body to con-
sider. Cannot the Embargo Act of
1807 and the Non-Intercourse Act of
1810 be considered as precedents for
action today? The Embargo Act, if it
were to be so considered, would allow

the United States to place a full em- .

bargo on all goods going to the bel-
ligerents. But more important still,
the Non-Intercourse Act would allow
us to follow a policy in accord with
the League of Nations by taking an
attitude of partiality toward the bel-
ligerents. That is,. —— take the
stand that because Italy had violated
a multilateral treaty (The Pact of
Paris) to which we are signatories,
we have the right to take retaliatory
measures in the form of an embargo
against Italy alone and not against
Abyssinia. The Non-Intercourse Act
of -1810- was. enacted in slightly dif-
ferent circumstances, in that we im-
posed it because of violation of our
neutral rights, but it does not seem
to be a much wider interpretation of

|that precedent to allow a similar
|eourse of action in this case of fla-

r ean eh «ty.

VARSITY PLAY :IS: SLOW





Bryn Mawr, Saturday, Oct. 26.—
The Varsity hockey team, their ranks
disastrously depleted, -nevertheless
managed to eke out a meager victory
over Ursinus by tH score of 1-0. The
play on the whole was slow and the
stickwork weak. It seemed as if the

* whole game were being played to the

tune of the umpires’ whistles, which
were continually compelled to call
fouls of one sort or another. We were
reminded of last week’s game by the
fact that Bryn Mawr seemed unable
to score, even though attacking the
greater proportion of the time.
though the Ursinus goalie was good,
the shooting was noticeably weak.

Bryn Mawr started off by putting

-themselves on the offensive instead of

‘the defensive.

_Both teams fought
hard, although the play was concen-
trated for the most part on Bryn
Mawr’s right-hand ‘side of the field.
Peggy Martin at center half did her
best to distribute the play, but she
was unable to make up for the fact
that Ursinus, evidently considering
their right field weak, always passed
to the left. Thus Bryn Mawr’s right
defense players were terribly over-
worked, while the left-field players
had little to do,

As we had begun to tire of much
fruitless battling and more fouling,
Bar Cary brightened the prospects by
scoring a goal on a beautiful follow-
in shot. After this, however, the play
went on much as before; and the half
endéd with no further events of note.

We had high hopes when the two
, teams: lined up for the second period,
” for Bryn Mawr has so far this sea-
son played better in the second half.
Saturday’s game was an exception ‘to
this rule. The forwards seemed un-
able to score and the backs unable
to clear. The play was all on one
side of the field, and the score at the
end of the game was still 1-0.

Bryn Mawr, Oct. 28.—The second
Varsity hockey team downed a com-
bination team of Philadelphia Cricket
Club Blacks and Germantown Cricket
Club here today by the decisive score
of 5-0. Though the Black and Blue
team threatened our goal _ several
times, they were on the defensive most
of the time, giving Bryn Mawr ample
scoring opportunity.

Jo Taggart tallied the first point for
Bryn Mawr with a hard drive from
the edge of the circle. Bryn Mawr
continued her pressing tactics and
soon Jo scored another point. A. J.
Clark acquired two more, and Betsy
Harrington, a fifth. At this point
Bryn Mawr seemed to consider her-
self entitled to rest on her laurels,
giving the Cricket Club several gol-
den opportunities to score. The final
whistle blew, however, leaving Leigh-
ton’s goal line still uncrossed, and
Bryn Mawr with a total of one vic-
tory and one defeat in the Monday
league.

much, perhaps, in the first two years
of college, but rather in the last two,
when the student knows the @eneral
outlines of sever bjects as present-
ed by individual artments.
The_-most immediate difficulties are
likely to arise over the schedules, It
is now planned to allow time for prep-
aration in the senior year only, and
this preparation will take one-fourth
of the student’s time. Juniors will
carry the regular four units, with two,
as a rule, in major and allied sub-
jects. Seniors will carry three units
and the preparation for the examina-
tion. The examination will be sched-

uled in the first week of the examina-|_

tion period, so that there will not be
too many conflicting demands on the
student. There will be three parts
to the examination. The French De-
partment, “for example, plans to set
one test on linguistics and phonetics,
one on the. chronological history of
literature in one field, such as medi-
aeval or modern, and one on the
French drama, or the novel or the
like. If seniors are up in their work,
they may be released from mid-year
examinations, the period to serve as a
reading period. An effort will be
made to have the written work of
other courses finished by about the

.| first of May, so that the senior can

concentrate on her comprehensive ex-
amination.

The plans of departments will be
completed by -next-spring, -so-that
juniors can get lists of reading to be
done over the summer. The plan will
immediately change the scheduling of
the senior year. In time, preparation
may begin in the junior year, but
only one department at present is as-
signing special work to _ juniors.
Freshmen and sophomores must give
serious. attention to the choice of a
major. It will probably be wiser for
them to take allied courses and only
one unit of major work in their first
two years, and to leave second-year

in its experimental stage and there
will probably be changes and adjust-
ments. Anyone troubled about her
schedule should consult Mrs. Man-
ning, who will be glad to see her.

Campus Notes

Miss Martha Hurst, fellow of the
Philosophy ‘Department, has written
a paper in logic, Implication in 4 B. C.,
which is appearing in the current is-
sue of Mind, the leading English
philosophical journal.

Miss Marna Brady, of the Athletic
Department, has almost completed a
handbook on tumbling. Members of
her tumbling classes posed recently
for pictures which will be included in
the book. The book will probably be
published some time this spring and
ought to be of aid to those who aspire
to tumble about during May Day.

Dr. Kirk’s. book, Mr. Pepys and Mr,
Evelyn, is being published by the
University of Pennsylvania and will
appear soon.

for fifteen years. The New York
percentage, not quite so constant,
is 16% this year. New Eng-
land has sent 14% for the past two
years, as contrasted with 10% of fif-
teen years ago. An increase to 17%
over the 18% of last year shows in the
attendance from the Middle West. |
Miss Ward hoped that “with the more |

the percentage of girls coming from |

THE COLLEGE NEWS







Ovecbeook Bliid: Scticol
Grateful to Bryn Mawr

(Especially contributed by Mary Howe
EA ty ‘de Wolf.)

Tie volunteer reading to. the stu-
dents in the Overbrook School for
the Blind, a flourishing department
of the League, hag been carried on
since the period right after the war
when so many new recruits were
added to the ranks of the sightless.
The college was the first institution
to offer volunteers for this service,
and this initial interest in aiding the
blind has grown with every year of
continued work. :

For four evenings a week during
the college year groups of from two
to six girls take the bus to Over-
brook and read for an hour and a
half to individuals or groups a va-
riety of subjects including English,
French, history, psychology, physio-
therapy, mathematics and the sci-
ences. Many girls have become in-
terested in particular students and
have read regularly once a week or
once every other week to the same
person. Thus, through their friend-
ship with the individual blind stu-
dents, and through their knowledge of
. the field in which they are working,
they have become increasingly valu-
able. The blind depend upon this
aid and are also grateful for the
stimulating contact with what they
refer to as the “sighted world.” Of-
ten this mutual interest of reader
and student continues - after the
reading for the year has finished,
and Bryn Mawr students correspond
during the summer with the boys
they have helped, keeping track of
their studies and their interests.

Several of these blind students
take courses and receive diplomas at
the University of Pennsylvania or at
other colleges, and are_required to
do exactly the same work as--the
other students, which entails daily



The student marshals were chosen
by the Faculty Committee in charge
of. the Academic Procession. ‘Phere
are fourteen of them and nine are
members of the senior class, two from
the junior class, one from the sopho-
more class and two from the fresh-
man class. They were chosen on the
basis of :the following classification:
Senior members of the College Council
which consists of the heads of the four
associations, the editor of The Col-
lege News, and the representative of
the non-resident students; the vice-
presidents of the Undergraduate and
Self-Government Assocéations; the
class presidents for 1934-35, and the
daughters’ and nieces- of those having
a very close connection with the col-
lege. There is only one sophomore
marshal because of -the fact that last
year’s president, Julia Grant, is al-
ready marching in the procession in
the capacity of vice-president of the
class for this year.

The choice of the ushers for the
celebration has been governed by sev-
eral considerations. ‘Among those
chosen are the five hall presidents,
Lucy Kimberly, Betsy Harrington,
Betsy Wyckoff, Fredrica Bellamy,
and Esther Bassoe, and the senior
representative of Rockefeller, Helen
Kellogg. Elizabeth Washburn repre-
sents the Athletic Association, Rachel
Brooks the Self-Government Associa-
tion, Dorothea ‘Wilder is the delegate
of the Undergraduate Association,
and Letitia Brown the Bryn Mawr
League. The College News will be
represented by Helen Fisher and.
Caroline Brown. Mildred Bakewell,
Peggy Jackson, Agnes Allinson and

ters of older alumnae. Betsy Bates,
assisted by Mary Hutchings and Wini-
fred Safford, will be in charge of the

Summer School Work
At Camp Is Success



Although the Bryn Mawr Summer
School was held for the fifteenth sea-
son this year, it was not conducted on
the campus as usual. The institution
was moved to a camp site known as
Mount Ivy, near Springfield,” y-
Mrs. Dexter Otey, a Bryn
alumna, directed the staff of\seventeen
and the student body of fifty-one who
carried on the eight weeks’ term of
the school.

This short season was crowded with
activity, both’ academic and recre-
ational. Courses in English and eco-
nomics, and a lively survey of general
science, including laboratory work,
were offered, while opportunity was
provided as well for regular camp
activities, group dramatic work, and

trips to New York City for plays and

sightseeing. One unit of the students
put out a weekly newspaper, but the
small creative writing class. did not
produce so much as in previous years,
Discussion, singing, and sunbathing
filled up the odd monients every day.
Even in such a busy routine, time was
still found to devote to relations with
the. outside world. The camp sent a
delegate to the American Youth Con-
gress in Detroit in July, and also sent
telegrams of protest to the authori-
ties connected with the Toledo and
Omaha strikes.

The whole body of students was di-
vided into three units, each of which
was in charge of an English and an
economics professor. The economics
courses, although necessarily con-
densed, aimed to supply fundamental
background, to clarify present labor
problems, and to stimulate continued
study at home. Since both discussion
and lecture were combined .in the
classes, healthy controversy was
naturally incessant. The endeavors of
the instructors for objective teaching
clashed at times with the views ‘and

nd

camp was fortunate enough to include
in its personnel a faculty member and
a student who had each spent some
time in Russia. They conducted to-
gether a most interesting forum on

the Soviet. b,

The girls, as usual, worked with in-
tense interest at everything they had
‘> chance to do.-Their seriousness
. ,. ther startling and enlivening
to anyone fresh from contact with col-
lege girls.: A third of the fifty-one
were foreign-born; two were Negroes.
Two English girls who had come over
for the summer gave the camp the
advantage of hearing directly about
English labor organization, The tex-
tile industry and needle--trades’ had
most representatives among the stu-
dents. There were also girls ordi-
narily employed as radio workers,
cigar and candy packers, waitresses,
and beauticians. Two-thirds’ of. the
students belonged’ to trade unions.
The American-born members came
prineipally from New York and
Pennsylvania, but some representa-
tives had traveled from as far as
Colorado, Kentucky, and New Hamp-
shire. :

Several truly brilliant events, the
International Night program, the
“trades party,” the masquerade ball,
and the faculty-student baseball game
glorified the season. On International
Night, the dozen or so nationality
groups represented in camp gave folk-
dances and folk-songs. The many-
colored costumes were hastily and
variously assembled, but’ Were worn,
so to speak, with spirit. The /wide
lawn behind the main house was used
as a stage, for which the surrounding
pine trees were a convenient and pic-
turesque backdrop. A Polish wedding-
festival began the program, with
much chattering of bridesmaids and
a galloping mazurka. A chorus of
‘Italians followed, and /then’ the
French Canadian group performed a)
stately quadrille. When this music

American pioneers came tramping up
from the woods into the open:to sing
Negro spirituals and dance a Yankee
quadrille to a twanging harmonica.

@he masquerade went off with simi-

lar success, evoking every variety of
being from Mae West to a remarkable
reptile, inspired by a recent snake
scare. At the trades party, the tex-

tile workers, directed by the gymnas- .

tic instructor, provided the entertain-
ment. .With her drum for rhythm,

and with appropriate off-stage noises,

they worked out an excellent impres-
sionistic presentation of a factory
under the speed-up system.

The faculty-student baseball game
on the faculty’s side, at least, was a
spectacle of almost Oriental splendor.
The entire staff, repeating the prece-
dent established the year before, ap-
peared in red gym tunics and bloom-
ers, gifts from Bryn Mawr, with ac-
cessories in variations of the same
color. The men of the faculty were
particularly effective. The faculty
won the game.

The school did not, however, rely
on baseball for its only sport, though
keen competition among the units led
to numerous games. Several hikes
were organized, and swimming and

‘folk-dancing occupied many after-

noons.

The future plans of the school are
not yet matured. The problem of its
location next year is yet to be solved
by the Board of Directors. The gen-
eral feeling seems to be that in the
new location, all contacts were easier,
and on the whole, quite as much study-
ing was done. The countryside was
pleasant, and in itself, of course, de-
lighted the students. Facilities, -how-
ever, were very poor, the library
alone being respectable, if not en-
tirely adequate. The camp could
provide for only fifty girls instead of
a hundred. The lighting for the
necessary night studying was bad;
class-rooms were hard to find; the

work and preparation for examina- experience of the students, and dis-|shifted into Alouette, everyone joined| ¢ahin roofs leaked copiously; and

It is hard for people with normal ee terest on both sides. Several girls} passed even our faculty swooping into
_ pet rns at iit

eyesight to picture the helplessness
of a blind student who must be com-
pletely dependent upon his ears for
all facts that he learns. These stu-
dents are remarkably efficient and
quick, taking notes in Braille when

Mrs. Chambers, who until this fall
had been at the Overbrook School
for many years, is the person who,
with the aid of the college, built up
this indispensable service. In an
article she says of us, “Bryn Mawr
College is an unfailing supply,”
which in itself is high praise and
deserves a full continuation of our
material interest in one of the prob-
lems of the blind.

‘him as much as anyone else. She is

one of his most devoted exercisers;
and she always talks to him,in baby
talk @hile he runs up and down her

of the great difficulties in allowing
Louis the freedom of one’s person is
that he is very likely to get his feet
entangled in one’s sweater. ‘Such a
situation would prove disastrous to
both the bug and the garment.
Louis, or Paul as Miss‘Arnold pré=
fers to call him (just because she
likes the name Paul), has other
friends in Merion, but the great run
of people pay no attention to him,
except when Miss Arnold chooses to
describe his eating habits at meals.
The reason Louis is snubbed is prob-
ably the fact that last year Miss Ar-
nold had 250. just like him, but
younger, and he is no novelty. How-
ever, he does enjoy the distinction of
being the largest mantis that Miss
Gardner, has ever seen, and of living
in a cage provided by her. Little
does Louis realize as he gazes
through the bars (originally -designed
to restrain white. rats) that every
new red leaf on the trees outside his
window spells his approaching doom.
He does not know that the time will

was apparen‘ly an order to grab all
felt hats for use in the show. The
lone trophy, however, never appeared
to grace the stage.

Great credit is due. the ingenious
‘person or persons who conceived the
idea of the Cymbeline rehearsal, which
was for the benefit of Bates House.
We suggest a return engagement of
the production, on a week night when
even more people would be able to
come. We feel sure that those who
saw it would come again; and the
actual performance takes so little time
that the attendance would not be
slight because of pleas of necessary
studying. We urge, also, that the fac-
ulty be allowed to come to the next
show. We feel sure that they would
enjoy it.

the names Melville and Sterling print-

“Oh!” shrieked one of the girls to
another, “Sterling’s cute, isn’t he}”

"Be used. to be a plebe a year of so
ago,” explained one of the Navy
juniors who lived in the yard@ and
knew much midshipman gossip. “Now
-he’s got a job with Warner Brothers
in: that movié they’re shooting here.
That other one with him is Dick
Powell.”

There was a concerted rush towards
Mr. Powell, who smiled obligingly
from.a face covered with thick brown-
ish-yellow make-up and began signing
his name to anything and everything
handed’ him. The _ real _ middies
marched by in long columns, and the
movie cameras turned and swung
around to shoot the scene. Later,they
re-took that same shot many times,
with crowds of extras from the Navy
Yard, real and synthetic midshipmen.

Ordinarily, probably the dullest
time of the year for the Navy-juniors
is the few weeks between June Week

for the new class which enters early
in June, but is quarentined (that. is,
has no Yard liberties) until near the
middle of July. Last summer, how-
ever, most of the Navy juniors got
jobs in the movies as extras for five
dollars a day. There were two pic-
tures being shot simultaneously for
a while, one by Paramount and one
by Warners. The first, Annapolis
Farewell, came out in Washington at
the end of the summer, and is in
Philadelphia now. The second, Ship-
mates Forever, had its premjpre in
New York about a week ago.’ The
indoor scenes for the most part, and
a good deal of the ac‘ual aciion were
filmed in Hollywood, but the outdoor,
gymnasium, and hop scepes were all
done in Annapolis. In order to make
