Goodhart, February 15.—With a
melodious plea to the juniors and a
satirical wink at the rest of the

world, the freshmen raised the cur-
tain on 1936 and All That, their ver-
sion of the annual class show. The

tutions, local and international, as
possible. It concerned the trials of
the executives in four important na-
tions who had all by strange coinci-
dence,* married members of the class
of 1936 of Bryn Mawr College.
Though: the five scenes of the first
act were managed by the various
halls, the entire production was di-
rected by Delia Marshall and Bar-
bara Bigelow. Nancy Toll was busi-
ness manager of the play and- also

did the lighting.
The first five scenes showed Hitler,
Haile Selassie, Mussolini, Lord

Chomondely (Prime Minister of Eng-
land) and Mr. Onion, of Onion Isle,
separately making their final prepa-
rations for a journey to Geneva for
the purpose of arranging a war.
Four of these five statesmen were
married, respectively, to Anne Reese,
Barbara Cary, Frances Porcher and
Pauline Manship. The well-educated
women insisted upon forcing their
husbands to benefit by the opportun-
ities which they had found at Bryn
Mawr; and therefore they undertook
to teach them languages, diction,
body-mechanics and fire drill tech-
nique, besides supervising their lead-
ership in the affairs of staté. The

College Urged to Take

May Day in its Stride|

Goodhart, February 13.—Mrs. Man-
ning announced in chapel that it is the
purpose of the college, represented by
Miss Park, Mrs. Manning and the Fac-
ulty, to “take May Day in its stride.”
The rehearsals will’ fit into the regu- |
lar class schedule except during the |
last week. This is not difficult, except
for the laboratory work, if the work
on the plays is started in time. The
main burden of the organization of
May Day is not intended to. rest on
the student body, and for this reason
outside coaches are brought in to take
charge.of the plays. The plays are
short and numerous, and since none
of them takes an hour to give, no stu-
dent should have too much of her time
taken up with rehearsals. .No one
actor carries a whole play, and the
numerous short rehearsals prevent the
crowding of rehearsals which often
occurs in an ordinary play.

After the Easter vacation the at-
mosphere. on the campus will prob-
ably be unfavorable to _ serious
scholarly attempts. It is most im-
portant, therefore, that long reports
be started and finished, if possible,
by Spring Vacation. Weekends will
have to be used for rehearsals and
for “catching up.” Though it may
seem a hardship to have to give up
one particular weekend, we will later
feel that the experience of working
together as a college has meant more
to—-us-than-even avery delightful
weekend could. We will enjoy the
process of cooperating with the whole
The midsemester quiz period
will be over by Spring Vacation.
There will not be more than three con-
secutive days of quizzes for any one
student, and the period should go
smoothly. It should be possible to
prepare for the quizzes without any
great difficulty. They are not like ex-
aminations, and do not need an ex-
tensive amount of study. The prob-
lems of those few students who have
deferred or conditioned examinations
will be dealt with individually,

It is very important that no group
of students, nor any individual, al-
low grievances to accumulate. Any
complaint or difficulty should be taken
to Miss Fabyan or Miss Rose, the
undergraduate members of the May
Day Committee.





How the Wheels Go Round



(Editor’s Note. This is the. first
of a series of articles on the machin-
ery which enables Bryn Mawr to
function as a community. It is writ-
ten from a purely student point of
view from the annual report of the
Treasurer and Comptroller, available
at the office of the Comptroller.)

Until two years ago a small note
was attached to the bills which were
sent to our parents for tuition stat-
ing that the actual cost of educating
each student was nearly double the
$500° actually charged. This notice
has been tactfully omitted recently
in deference to the feelings of ear-
nest yet hard-pressed parents, - but
the fact remains that in 1933-1934 it
cost the college $970 per student for
academic expenses alone and the fee
charged remained at $500. In spite
of this fact Bryn Mawr is one of
the few leading colleges and universi-
ties which has had no operating de-
ficit since the peak of the depression.
Back of these apparently divergent
facts lies a realm little known to
the students with which the mysteri-
ous word “endowment” is usually
associated. This world of college
finances is kept running smoothly
and efficiently with salaries paid and |
meals served promptly by the per-
fect teamwork of President Park,
Treasurer Seattergood and Comp-
troller Hurst. Each disclaims credit
for the remarkable fact the Bryn
Mawr pays its bills in spite of a
topsy-turvy business world, but each
admits that “housewifely” economies
-have made Bryn Mawr a better
housekeeper in these times than- her
wealthier brethren.



" Financially speaking, the college

consists of the plant plus about six
million dollars in endowment, or in-
vested securities, whose income from
dividends and interest pays current
expenses and maintains the real es-
tate property. No one has ever
bothered to evaluate the land on
which ‘the college stands, and - since
land values have altered greatly
since purchase, the college has no
intention of selling out. Recently land
in this vicinity has sold for $20,000
to $25,000 an acre, so that the six-
ty-two acres of campus could be
valued at $124,000. Insurance (blanket
insurance spread over fourteen com-
panies for absolute safety) is carried
on “above ground improvements,”
which means buildings and contents
to the sum of $2,600,000 for 80 per
cent of the value. This would bring
the total value of the plant, endow-
ment, land and buildings to: $10,000,-
000, a trifling sum when compared
to the tremendous corporations of
the men’s universities.
Investment of Endowment

The bulk of the endowment, 69.7
per cent is invested in bonds, with
mortgages, real estate, stocks and
perpetual insurance in successively
decreasing amounts. In watching
the market for possible investment
openings the Treasurer does not
seek the chance for a quick sale, but
certainty that *he issuing company
will be able to pay off the principal
when the investment matures. This
conforms strictly to the cautious
policy of the founder who set forth
in his will that the Trustees are “to
distribute their investments and to
look to the security of the principal
invested, rather than to a high rate

Theorems Are Sought
For Modes of Meaning

Richards Believes New Rhetoric
Must Examine Functions of
Individual Words

PROBLEM IS ABSTRACT
Goodhart, February 17.—In the sec-
ond of his series of lectures, Mr. I. A.

was to formulate a theorem about
every mode of meaning which would
serve as a basic point of view from
which to recognize problems of a new
rhetoric, and at the same time to at-
tempt to solve these problems of dis-
course.

At the end of his first lecture Mr.
Richards had explained that the study
of his new rhetoric; or more specific-
ally, the inquiry about how words
work, must entail a critical examina-

philosophical speculation does. This
examination, moreover, must be on a
minute scale as well as on a macro-
scopic scale; it must investigate the
functions of individual words as well
as of whole sentences and paragraphs.

The student who seeks a theorem
on which to base his study of such
units of discourse will find much to
help him in the old traditional prob-
lems. But he will recognize that
rhetoricians of the old school regarded
discourse as a “battle. of words.”
From the newer, more fundamental
point of view, persuasion is only one
aim of language, and it often poaches
on other forms, such as exposition,
whose aim is simply to state a view.
Some of the best illustrations of. dis-|'
pute poaching on exposition are found |
in the correspondence columns of re-
views and newspapers, where the
writer often takesgother men’s words
to prove his own contentions.

The theorem which is to be funda-
mental enough to aid in consideration
of this problem (that is, the problem
of the rivalries of the different ends
of discourse), must of necessity be
very abstract and general in the high-
est degree. It will have to be ap-
plicable to every sort of meaning,
but its specific applications should
clear up its difficulty. One must

start with an abstract, philosophic |,

theorem and proceed to its application
in literary forms if the meaning of
literary forms is to be well under-

There will be two general sorts of
problems to be considered by means
of the theorem to be discovered. The
first has already been mentioned: the

Bryn Mawr Establishes
Exchange Scholarships



In an effort to compensate for the
loss of foreign scholars on the
campus, four exchange scholarships
have been established, with the co-
operation of the Institute of Interna-
tional Education. These exchanges
are with France, Germany, Italy and
Spain, that is, the four countries
which furnish the modern languages
of the Bryn Mawr curriculum. Under
this arrangement, Bryn Mawr gives
board, lodging and tuition to the schol-
ars from these countries and has the
right to ask of them four to five hours
of language teaching. The French
Department, which experimented this
year with the plan, has had a most
satisfactory candidate in Mademoiselle
Nasse, licenciée of the University of
Bordeaux, who has supplemented the
oral teaching of the first year French
and has made a great contribution to
the undergraduate French Club and
the ‘group of graduate students in
French, with whom she has lived in
Radnor Hall.

The exchange character of these
scholarships is also of immense value,
enabling, as it does, a candidate recom-
mended by Bryn Mawr to study in

each of these four foreign countries.

Jane Alleyne Lewis
Merion Sophomore

Will be May Queen

Blonde Beauty is Accomplished
Violinist, Hopes to Become
Designer

—_———-

WAS REGIONAL SCHOLAR
FOR FRESHMAN. YEAR

Jane Alleyne Lewis, the only can-
didate chosen to compete for the honor
by Merion Hall, has been elected May
Queen by an overwhelming ‘popular
vote.

Sixteen undergraduates were select-
ed by the various halls. to enter the
tryouts for the coveted role. Only.
thirteen of them appeared, however,
at the first tryout on February 6,
when they walked in the Gymnasium
to the enthusiastic applause of under-
graduates crowding the balcony.
From this’ number three girls, Doreen
Canaday, ’36, Marian Chapman, ’36,
and Jane Lewis, ’38, were told to ap-
pear at the next tryout.

Those three tried out again on
February 10, in costume, to read the
part of Maid Marian. Since a May
Queen, in addition to being blonde,
beautiful and able to act, must also
photograph well, pictures of the three
were taken in costume
February 11 and _ posted the follow-
ing day. On February 13 the college
cast their_votes and the next day the
election of Miss Lewis was announced
to the college.

No Stage Aspirations

Miss Lewis, chosen as May Queen
because of her beauty of face and fig-
ure and her quality of photographing
well, has no desire to act on stage or
screen. Extremely modern, she has
considered television work; but her
real ambition is to become a designer
or a violinist.

Although she appeared: in dramatic
productions at Miss Fine’s School in
Princeton, where she prepared for col-
lege,her connection with the drama
at Bryn Mawr has been limited to a
part in the Christmas freshman skit
in Pembroke a year ago, and to “blow-
ing a whistle in Freshman Show when
the lines could not be heard.” This
year she joined Glee Club and became
a member of the choir.

Miss Lewis has always wanted to be
a violinist and has studied violin for
ten years, both here and for six
months in Paris with M. Hewitt.
Years ago she had to decide “whether
to be a violinist or a normal child,”
and chose the latter; but her enthu-
siasm has not abated, as she practices
regularly and divides her interest be-
tween music and designing.

She is one of the models most fre-
quently in demand for the Art Club
here. Her modelling experience dates
back to the time when she was “a wee

Louis Untermeyer Will
Speak Here on Sunday

‘Mr. Louis Untermeyer, author and
editor, will talk on A Critic’s Half
Holiday at the Deanery on Sunday,
February 23, at five o’clock. Mr.
Untermeyer, now among the first
of the American poets, was born in
New York on October 1, 1885, and
began his career in the jewelry
manufacturing business of his fath-
er’s and uncle’s firm. He became
manager of the chief factory at
Newark, New Jersey, but resigned
to devote his attention to writing.
His first book of poems, The Younger *
Quire, was published in 1910. Since
then he has published much original
work, including poetry and _ fiction,
and several anthdlogies of poetry.
His latest. book, Poetry—Its Appre-
ciation and Enjoyment, appeared in
1934.

On Mr. Untermeyer’s last visit to
the college, he proved such a success
that the Entertainment Committee
considered holding his lecture next
Sunday in the Auditorium in Good-
hart instead of in the Deanery. They
decided, however, to have the lecture

Bigger and Better Zoos

The 1939 Freshman Show was undoubtedly an outstanding success in
many~ways. There were also one.or two notable defects which pertain in
one case to Freshman Shows in general, and in the other case to the present
production.

One of the most ‘laudable features of the Show this year was the fact
that 1939 more nearly succeeded in making its play representative of the
whole class than has any other recent Freshman Show. They were able
to achieve this end because of the new method of producing the Show
which was tried this year in an effort to simplify it. The Class of 1939
produced their show by halls, thus eliminating the necessity for the large
scale rehearsals of the whole class which have been characteristic of previous
Shows. Nevertheless they were able to put on a performance which had
consistency of plot, good®¢songs and some very fine individual acting. The
whole play was written, rehearsed and produced after the beginning of the

= second semester.

There is one virtue to the kind of Freshman Show which has been
given in the past which ought to be remembered when the question again
comes up as to the sort of play the freshmen should give. Usually by the
end of the first semester, the freshmen in the various halls know each other
fairly well, but their contact with the other members of their class is still
quite limited. If the play is given with each hall having its own separate
part, there is very little chance for the people in the different halls to come
to know one another more intimately through working together in planning
the play, practicing the parts and the choruses and building the scenery.

The fault which has been common’ to at least three of the last four
Freshman Shows, which, indeed, we hoped that 1939 might avoid, is the
choice of the class animal. The seniors began the evil influence three years
ago, and with the possible exception of the Class of 1937, the animals which
have been chosen have been gi absurd. To try to visualize a class
insignia with an amoeba as itS central figure is even more laughable than
the concrete manifestations of the Mexican Jumping Bean which, plainly
enough, are not seen very frequently about the campus. 1939 must have
an emblem which has the “lowly worm” as its central figure. The designing
of this insignia will take considerable ingenuity, to say the least!

Wind Your Watches

Preaching the virtue of promptitude to the world at large has never
yet had the effect of successfully inculcating the practice of that virtue.
What few noble souls have striven to meet others precisely at the appointed
time have always been discouraged by the necessity of waiting long past the
time for those others to come. Yet notwithstanding this failure of the
magnanimous and wise, we intend to raise the plea again, appealing for our
cause, however, neither to ethics nor to etiquette, but to pure selfishness.

From this moment until May Day is over and done with, ‘the life of
every student on the campus will consist of a series of appointments, whether
to mass assemblies of country dancers or to exclusive private rehearsals for
the leading roles.
fidently, requested; in each case it will be more than a matter of courtesy to
comply with that request: it will be vitally necessary. The last few puffs
of a cigarette, the last hands of bridge, that overlap the hour assigned for
practice, seem trivial deductions from the total of such hours, but the total
of such last minute delays repeated time after time will not be trivial. It
will be an astounding gap ‘in the allotted time, a gap to be filled in with
haste and hysteria and with no regard for other. concerns perhaps equally

_ important. In other words, the result will be a most distressing muddle.

That is one side of the question. There will be times, however, when
atonement for tardiness will not be postponed until a final mad rush but
will be made then and there where the fault was committed. If someone
is half an hour late, then the ‘rehearsal will-be half an hour longer. What-
ever was planned for that half-hour will be lost; and when many such losses

THE OLD, OLD STORY

They said we all should try for plays,
So I went hopefully.

I thought that anything would ‘do—
Except to be a tree.

I offered myself as Maid Marian,

And wore auntie’s long nightgown.

But my piebald hair only came to my
neck—

They swiftly turned me down.

So then I tried to be a man,

I fancied Robin Hood.
My voice, alas! was high and shrill—
The effect was not so good.

“All right,” I said, “It may well be
That comedy’s my forte.”

I bandied insults as Gammer G.—
They weren’t of the right sort.

As Hodge or Bottom, Frolic or Ham,
I did not seem to rate.

But still I bravely tried again,
Suspecting my real fate.

But now at last it’s all fixed up,
I know what I shall be.

They say it’s really rather fun—
I’m going to be a tree!

toe Stealing’—with apologies to Gil-
bert and Sullivan.)

Skidding gently as we go;
Every step with caution feeling,

Goodness me, a remedy:
“Bake it now, and you will see
Improvement instantly.”
They say, so it may be.

And no matter what the malady,
Be it illness, cut or ache,
Their diagnosis always is:
“Go and let it bake.”
If you bump your head in two,
There is just one thing to do:.

Go and get it baked.

News of the New York Theatres

The current dramatic season, which
has been characterized by Mr. William
F. McDermott, of the Cleveland Plain
Dealer as “technically admirable and
artistically rich” has lately benefited
further by the openings of two new
light comedies. which show healthy
signs of flourishing. We refer to
Lynn Riggs’ latest, Russet Mantle and
the Theatre Guild’s Call It a Day.
Neither of these is distinguished for
sharp satire or broad farce as fur-
nished by First Lady and Boy Meets
Girl, which have hitherto been the most
popular comic plays on Broadway.
Besides being funny, they are sympa-
thetic and have their tender moments.
Perhaps this is because they are both
written about the young, and most
authors seem to hold‘the opinion that
there is something intrinsically pitiful
in being young.

Russet Mantle marks the return to
the legitimate stage of John Beal,
who appeared lasf* as a’ Princeton
senior in She Loves Me Not. He
plays a dreamer, poet and tramp, who
wanders into the Western ranch of a
family of Easterners to get a job as
hired man. There he finds under-
standing in the person of his employ-
er’s daughter, who joins him in his
revolt against the moral restrictions
of modern society, temporarily upset-
ting the composure of the household.
This state of affairs does not last long,
however, as Mr. Beal soon makes it
evident that he has every intention
of marrying the girl. Nothing that
this play says is supposed to be revo-
lutionary; it is a sigh for, perhaps a
salute to the unnecessary and amus-
ing courage of the young. But the
mood is not entirely nostalgic. Mr.
Riggs has written an excellent straight
comic part in the aunt of the young
heroine, who thinks everyone should
live in Louisville, Kentucky.

Call It a Day was written by Dodie
Smith, the English author of Autumn
Crocus. In her new comedy she
writes about fifteen hours in the life
of a very nice family. The only thing
that is extraordinary about the action
is the fact that on this early spring
day by a strange coincidence the
thoughts of the three childrén, mother
and father unanimously and lightly
turn to thoughts of love. Moreover,

'there is nothing extraordinary about

the interpretations, first rate though

‘they are, of such actors as Philip

Merivale, Gladys Cooper and thirteen-
year-old Jeanne Dante. The most ex-
citing thing about the play is the
writing, which is so perfect that the

Tentative Casting of

+



The casting of the eight May Day ;
plays has progressed, and the greater
part of the work is done.
ylek-cn work was done by Mrs. Chad-

ck-Collins, the May Day_ Director, |

leanor Fabyan, President of the
Undergraduate Association, and Edith |
Rose, President of Players’
They estimate that about two hun- |
dred students have tried out for parts |
since the elimination tryouts started |
on Monday, February 10.

This new method of casting for May
Day was adopted because it was felt
from the start that a perfectly impar-
tial method of casting must be used,
and because it was necessary to save
as much time as possible. The stu-
dents have had the double advantage
of having a preliminary casting com-
mittee made up of three people who
know the students and who know
something of the dramatic talent in
the college, and a find casting com-
mittee with Mr. Wyckoff and Miss
Dyer, who do not know the students
and who cannot have any preconceived
ideas of the dramatic talent here.

The method has proved impartial |

and effective. Comparison of separate
decisions reached by the three mem-
bers of the preliminary casting com-
mittee showed their choice to be
unanimous, except in one case where
the committee soon reached an agree-|
ment. At the final tryouts on Satur-
day and Sunday, before the final cast-
ing committee, the judgments of the
preliminary casting committee were)
found to coincide in every case but
one with that of the two professional
coaches.

Tentative casts have been made up
for the plays, and Sally Park, ’36, is
definitely cast for Robin Hood and
Jane Lewis, ’38, the May Queen, for,
Maid¢ Marian in Robin Hood. Ger-|
trude Leighton, ’38, has been definitely
cast as Sacrapant and Huldah Cheek,
88, as Erestus in The Old Wives’
Tale.

May Day Committees
Discussed at Council





Students Without Merits May
Have Minor Parts. Needing
Little Preparation



President’s House, February 12.—
At the first meeting of the College
Council since early in December, the
plans for May Day were discussed
at length. There was also quite a
detailed review of the whole question |.
lof undergraduate’ reports and papers.
Plans for entertainments in the. fu-
ture and the matter of signing in
at first and last classes before and
lafter vacations were also mentioned.
| The progress made in the plans for
|Big May Day was reported by, Mrs.
Chadwick-Collins. The tryouts for
the plays have been remarkably well-
jattended and over 250 have been
|heard. There has been great enthu-
siasm evident and the amount of act-
ing ability which has been demon-
jstrated has been quite remarkable.
| The enunciation, however, has been
disappointing except in the case of|
the seniors. For outdoor speaking
the importance of clear enunciation



to the

-in the vicinity.



‘cannot be too strongly emphasized.

The Director of May Day plans to|
have two special undergraduate com-|
'mittees to assist her, each of which |
| will have two representatives from
| each hall, as well as a non-resident
‘member. There will be an executive,
committee whose function will. be to
report any specific difficulties in any
part of work for May Day, as well
as to discuss more general problems
as they arise. The second commit-
| tee will be concerned with the man-
jagement of the drive to secure the

names of people to whom May Day}
| bublicity ‘should be sent. This com-
; mittee will also secure people to help
| with the addressing and stamping of
| these circulars, and to assist in other
| special tasks in preparation for May
|Day. In addition to:the two com |
| mittees mentioned, there are volun-|
teer committees for Properties, Cos-!
itumes, Music and Animals. They |
| will be chosen from the lists of those!
| who have signed up. There will be
ja representative from the Property
and Costume Committees attached to
each play. The Animal Committee
will search the countryside to secure
the many animals which are needed,
in addition to superintending their
care while on the campus. Mrs. Col-
lins reported that she had secured
four white oxen for the pageamt for
‘the first time in the history of May
Day.

Miss Park and Mrs. Manning
brought up the problem of the parts
which people without their merits
can take. As a general rule they
may not take parts which require
a regular amount of rehearsing over
a long period of time. There are







and which require very little prac-
tice. The strolling villagers, stilt
walkers, the bears and their. trainers
and the hobby horses all contribute
greatly to the atmosphere of May
Day. Such parts can be filled by
persons not allowed to take heavy
parts, or by those who prefer to
have small ones. Mrs. Manning
stated that it probably would be pos-
sible to give a regular pgrt to a
‘student who had her merits for the
last semester, but who still did not
have all her merits.

many small parts which are pleasant| .





Mrs. Collins asked. the undergradu-

'

ate members of the council to report
students: that there . was
absolutely no possibility of accom-
modating parents in the Deanery

for May Day as all the rooms were

reserved months ago. She reported
that there is almost no room _avail-
able in many of the inns and hotels
It will be one of
the tasks of the management commit-
tee to secure a list of available rooms
which students may secure for their
parents that. weekend. Miss Park
stressed the fact that absolutely no
one but studgnts themselves will be
allowed. to stay in the halls during
the week of May Day. All the rules
about allowing mothers or sisters
or alumnae to stay overnight in the
halls are not in effect for this event,
because having any outside guests
in the hall only adds to the confusion
and disorder of thé May Day prep-
arations.

The discussion of the problem of
reports and papers centered around
two distinct but nevertheless related
points. The first question was the
date on- which papers are due. The
second dealt with the number, scope
and type of papers assigned. Mrs.

Manning felt that the system of re-'

quiring that papers are due the day
of the examination in the course was
not very satisfactory. It meant that
many students spent a large part of
the examination period writing re-
ports and papers instead of prepar-
ing for their examinations. Per-
haps it would be better to have all
papers due on the last day of lec-
tures. The granting of extensions
which run into the examination pe-
riod proper should not be allowed,
LLL 5 ATE



Mrs. ‘Manning felt, since this coallt
not remove the primary difficulty.
With the consent of the Dean and
the instructor involved, extensions
might be given in the future to the
first day of the second semester, or
to Commencement Day, although in
the former case it was to be hoped
that it coyld be avoided, because the
student needs a vacation between the
end of Midyears and the beginning
of the second-term. This: plan is
tentative of course, as the ques-
tion must be decided by the Faculty.

Miss Park asked whether there
were too many reports required of
the students. The general feeling
seemed to. be that reports were very.
valuable and that as a rule the pro-
fessors. worked out a_ satisfactory
arrangement with their classes with
regard to the nature of the report
and the time when it was due. Sev-
eral were of the opinion that papers
frequently came back without ade-
quate critical. analysis, and some-
times even without a mark or com-
ment of any sort. The whole effect
of the work. is lost if the student
has no way of telling how well she

has handled her material or whether

the style was satisfactory.

A suggestion that students be al-
lowed to cut their last class before
vacation was brought up. It was not
discussed in detail, but was left for
the next meeting. Miss Park did
point out, however, that Bryn Mawr
has not allowed this type of cutting
because the college year is so short
that it is necessary to have all the
students in attendance regularly dur-
ing the, entire time in which lectures
are scheduled.

D. B. Watt Describes
International Living

Organizes Groups of Students
In Ten-Week Tours of One
Foreign Land

PURPOSE ONE OF PEACE

Goodhart, February 13.—Donald B.
Watt described to an_ interested
group his Experiments: in Interna-
tional Living: Since 1932 he has or-
ganized groups of.young people, gath-
ered from all over the United’ States,
some of college age and some young-
er, for ten-week trips in Germany,
France, England:or Spain. Mr. Watt
makes these experiments to allow
young people of this country to get

ato know well some European country.
His undertaking is definitely one of
peace. ATf you fight with the people
you disagree with, you don’t get very
far.” It is important for Europe and
America to know and respect each
other. Mr. Watt feels that his under-
taking is a step in this direction and
-caléeulates that if the number of peo-
ple who go on his trips increases at
the rate in which it is now growing,
at the end of ten years he will have
taken 10,600 people!

The actual trips, which Mr. Watt
illustrated with excellent colored mo-
tion pictures, put special emphasis on
the learning of the language of the
foreign country. The groups sail to-
gether third class, a comfortable and
cheap way. They divide into smaller
groups in each country, and spend the
first month in some attractive small
town. Each person lives in a private
house, preferably one with people his
own age. A special effort is made to
‘give everyone concerned a good time,
since, if pleasant conditions are cre-
ated and congenial people are brought
together, it is likely, at least, that the
people will like each other. Perhaps
one-quarter to one-third of those on
the trips return feeling that they have
made real friends. The rest feel that
they know one country well and like
it. All have had an interesting and
delightful summer. The idea is being
developed in Europe also. Last sum-
mer one group came to America. This
year one French, two German and one,
and maybe two, English groups will
visit here. :

The movies, taken this last summer,
helped to show the good times the
groups had, and the beautiful scenery
and interesting places they saw. Sev-
eral Bryn Mawr students figured in
them, among them Catherine Bill, ’35,
and Delia Marshall, ’39. Ellen Scat-
tergood also went on the trip to Ger-
many and Austria in 1933.

The German pictures showed the
sights of Garmisch and Munich and
the walking trip taken by the group
through part of the Bavarian Alps.
The second part of the summer was
spent in Austria, where the group
took a “Falg” (folding) boat trip
down the Danube. This is, according
to reports, most enjoyable, since the
current sweeps the boats along and
leaves the passengers free to sing
German songs, dodge steamboats, etc.
In France the group spent its month
at Besancon, a charming little town
in the foothills of the Jura Moun-
tains. Five mornings a week were
spent in learning the language, under
the tutelage of a French woman. The
afternoons and weekends were de-
voted to bicycle trips, swimming and
other pleasant pastimes. These are
also pursued in Germany. A week’s
trip was made into Brittany, where
peasant costumes and the ways. of
tuna fishing were observed.

In England the trips are conducted
on a slightly different plan. Less
time is spent in one place. This last
summer the group bicycled through
Exmoor and Devon. They had picnic

they stayed in youth hostels, which
are now very plentiful in England,

lunches nearly every day. As a rule,

The early eighteenth century panic
over language is similar to the ef-

forts of Arnold’s pedantic critic who’

thought the Oxford dictionary insuf-
ficiently critical. Great literary men
feared that the English language was
becoming one not worth writing.
They felt that it must be regularized,
and attempted a regimentation of the
meaning of words. Their dictionaries
gave none of the basic foundation of
words which our modern ones contain
and which enable us to study the in-
teraction of words.

* John Locke, in his Essay on Edu-
cation, states that “languages are not
made by rules or act, but by accident,
the common usage of the people.” He
says that there is no other guide in
choosing words and sentences except
memory. Mr. Richards disagrees with
Locke’s view; words are not chosen
in speech by memory or rote. We
have a skill in choosing words from
the past. “The use of speech is as
walking.”

Mr. Richards by these various ex-
amples emphasized the fact that ever
since rhetoric began the dominant ob-
session has always been that “usage
is the sole mistress of speech.” The
forces which affect a word as it
stands in its context have never been
taken into account.

per cent, because the large holdings
in high interest-rate Liberty and
other government bonds are being
called in steadily, and the safe ave-
nues open to investment at the pres-
ent time are constantly yielding less
interest. Many of the securities date
from 1912 and after, and the large
number of investments made between

1920 and 1927 explain why the en-
dowment funds have stood up as well
as they have during the depression.
Until, however, money becomes so
cheap that the average return is
three and a half per cent or less,
the college will still be able to keep
its doors ajar.

There are 128 “funds” each re-
quiring separate bookkeeping and
each kept apart from the others,
varying in size from $50 to $792,-

five and a half millions, are for
general purposes and the income
from these plus the income from the
fees goes into the annual budget.
With the two of them, ends just
meet. The remaining funds are in-
vested for especially designated pur-
poses outside of the annual operating
expenses. The two largest items in
this group are the $310,000 for

Helen Grayson, Bryn Mawr,
1926, will be the costumer for
Big May, }\ay. She received
her trainin at the American
Laboratory Theatre and- de-
signed and executed the cos-
tumes for their final produc-
tions: Chekhov’s Three Sisters,
Cocteau’s Antigone and Boeuf
sur le Toit; later produced and
costumed Poliziano’s Orfeo at
the Casa Italiana of Columbia
University and Ben Jonson’s
Masque, Oberon, for special
subscription’ performances;
opened her own workshop on
61 street three years ago where
she designs and executes mod-
ern clothes and period cos-
tumes; besides costumes for
song or dance recitals she has
-done from one to all the cos-
tyumes in the Broadway produc-
tions of Little Ol’ Boy, Dods-
worth, Wife Insurance, Jay-
hawker and Gather Ye Rose-
buds.







for memorials, prizes and_ lectures.
Although these figures seem large on
paper,. the income. from them is
really thoroughly inadequate for
their purposes. There is a crying
need for a rotating research fund,
and pensions are at present miser-
ably small and inadequate. The
special Library endowment fund is
unbelievably low, $27,787.81, whose
total annual income is one-fifteenth
of the absolute minimum on which
the Library can continue to grow at
all. For this reason from $13,000-
$15,000 each year must be taken from
the general income to keep the Li-
brary running and the necessary new
books on the shelves.

College Strictly Non-Profit
Aside from the fact that the col-
lege is a strictly non-profit organi-
zation there are other reasons why
there is set aside no sinking fund

‘which most businesses maintain to

offset depreciation and to prepare
for any sudden decrease in values.
In the first place there has never
been a time when values in every-
thing which the college owns have
fallen irretrievably at the same
time. But more important is the
fact that much-of the endowment is
unrestricted as to principal so that
if such an everit should ever occur
those funds could be used for the
emergency. If a sinking fund were
established, the annual amount avail-
able for meeting expenses would be
noticeably reduced, and in a college
such as Bryn Mawr, the annual in-
come is of the greatest importance.
The college itself pays no taxes, ex-
cept on the small amounts of prop-
erty which it rents to outsiders. For
this reason the College Inn is not a
part of the college, but is a sepa-
rate organization because the college
cannot be interested in a _ business
that is likely to make a profit. As a
matter of fact, the Inn meets its ex-
penses exactly without appreciable
profit. In 1935 the total net income
of the inn was $287.81.

The income from the endowment
is in itself insufficient to meet the
difference between the tuition fees
charged and the actual cost of run-
ning the college. Fortunately, the
halls of residence and, to a frac-
tional degree, the other real estate
of the college, such as the faculty



and. apartment houses, make _ suffi-
cient money over expenses of opera-
tion. to keep the. balance favorable.
At the end of the last fiscal year,
June 30, 1935,.an abbreviated account
of the income for that year looked

something like this:

$215,000 tuition and laboratory.
$105,069 income from the halls
of residence. :
$263,818 all the income for that
year other than student. fees,
hail incomes and rentals.
Miscellaneous sources of income such
as rental on faculty houses, refunds
on amounts advanced and sundry
small items including .a mysterious
entry “rental on Low Building site
... $1” brought the grand total to
$624,798.36. Teaching and academic
salaries alone account for $331,185
of the college’s expenses, or almost
55 per cent of the total expenses.
Non-academic salaries, pensions, fel-
lows and scholars account for an
added $111,000, leaving only $160,-
000 for the myriad expenses of the

community and the college outside-

of the halls of residence. . These last
include everything from the Library
and all the laboratories, maintenance
of all the academic buildings and
the grounds, the Itiftrmary, ete.,. to
tuning pianos in Goodhart, fire hy-
drant rental, water damage in Dal-
ton, safety guards for the machinery
in the power -.house,’ telephone
charges, postage on the college cal-
endars, insurance on the vines and
shrubbery, etc. There.is no end to
the variety of the small items which
must be covered:.in the annual bud-
get, and every item must have a
separateentry~ in the books of» the
Comptroller and the Business Man-
ager.
Division of Costs

In the books of the Comptroller the
cost of teaching is divided between
the graduates and the undergraduates
on a basis of teaching hours. At pres-
ent the undergraduates are charged
with about 70 per cent of the teach-
ing costs on this basis. In general
the expense of the college is divided
into academic and non-academic ex-
penses. To the latter are charged the
costs of operating the halls and of
other activities which do not directly
affect the teaching. All services used
by both the academic and the non-
academic part of the college commun-
ity, such as heat, light and water, are
prorated .to academic and non-aca-
demic expenses. * The cost of main-
tenance of the grounds is’ thus
divided between the two, the halls of
residence paying the larger share
since they occupy the larger share of
the campus. Similarly the administra-
tive non-teaching salaries such as
those of the President, the Comptroll-
er, the Business Manager and their
staffs are divided into academic and
non-academic expenses on a_ 60-40
basis. Other small items, such as of-
fice and telephone expenses, are di-
vided between the two sections of the
college expenses on a prorata basis.

(Next week the second part of this
article on the college finances, deal-
ing primarily with the budget and
“housewifely’” economies, will be pub-
lished.) —

Fisting thing with curls” and sat for a
number of ‘portraits in Paris. She tells
an amusing anecdote about a man who
approached her at the Ballet Russe
last fall and asked to be allowed to
take motion pictures of her. Mistak-
ing him for a professional photograph-
er and hesitating to involve the nanie
“Bryn Mawr” in any publicity ,en-
terprise, she declined, only to find that
he helped select models for Wana-
maker’s; he promised to call her up
about it—“but he never called.”

Miss Lewis has pale blonde hair
reaching far’ below her waist and
usually wears it in a coronet. She
employs no special rinses, not even
lemon juice, to emphasize its natural
color; and for a shampoo she uses her
favorite complexion soap. She never
wears heavy make-up, and uses no
facial creams or eye cosmetics; as
for nail polish, “Coral is my limit.”
Five feet five and one-half inches tall
and weighing 127 pounds, she is ex-
cellently. proportioned.

A member of the sophomore class,
Miss Lewis held an Alumnae Regional
Scholarship last year. She hadal-

ways planned to come to Bryn Mawr,}

and with the exception of a year spent
at Mlle. Fontaine’s School in Cannes,
she studied at Miss Fine’s School in
Princeton, where she lives, in prepara-
tion for entrance. She expects to ma-
jor in archaeology.

Miss Lewis’ favorite sport is swim-
ming; she was.on che Varsity.Swim-
ming Team last year “because I swam
breaststroke.” She was also a member
of her class hockey team.

She is now a resident of Merion
Hall. During her freshman year she
lived in Wyndhan, where she held the
position of fire chief.



Archaeology Students
Offered Scholarships

The Department of Classical
Archaeology will have in its award for
the year 1936-37 the Mary Paul Col-
lins Scholarship for Foreign Women
of the value of $1000 and will, in ad-
dition, offer three special resident
scholarships to promising candidates
in the field. These, together with the
regular. departmental fellowship and
scholarships, would furnish to the de-
partment a specially picked group of
students for a project which is an-
nounced as follows on the posters sent
to colleves and universities:

“In the hope of evoking from a more
intimate collaboration of teachers and
students new and publishable material
in an important and fruitful field of
research, the department during 1936-
37 will converge its seminaries and
graduate courses upon the single topic
of Early Greek Civilization. Dr. Car-
penter will deal with the tribal mi-
grations and epichoric alphabets; Dz.
Swindler will study the vases of the
geometric and early orientalizing
periods; Dr. Miiller will trace the in-
fluence of the adjacent oriental civi-
lizations upon Greek architecture and

ferences. will focus. upon. specifie op-
portunities for research in the’ proto-
archaic period.”

In reference to the foreign scholar,
the announcement states that she “will
be encouraged to pursue research. in
any field of Mediterranean ‘archac-
ology of the pre-Christian period, in
which’ she may be espetially equipped
or qualif-4..-™ g/pitior, she may par-
ticipate ‘“xr-une or more of the Re-
search Seminaries. . . . Within the
option of the department, the success-
ful candidate may be required to as-
sist other graduate students in re-
search in fields in which she is ex-
ceptionally qualified.” .

This scholarship, named again this
year in memory of Mrs. Henry Hill
Collins, and awarded again in a spe-
cific field, is the only one that has sur-
vived of the five $1000 scholarships
for foreign women which the Bryn
Mawr Graduate School awarded for so
many years and valued so highly. The
award for the cufrent year was made
in the Department of Biology, the
holder being’ Miss Hedda Norden-
skiéld.



Theorems Are Sought
For Modes of Meaning

poaching of other ends on the function
of exposition. The second kind of
problem is more difficult and funda-
mental. It can be formulated in
various ways: What is the connec-
tion between “events” in the mind and
the other events which they are of?
How. are. these .events. thought of?
What is the relation between a name
and what it names? _In the search for
a theorem by means of which to ap-
proach these problems, one begins by
a consideration of the so-called simple
responses, :

Man is a thing responsive to other
things in a particularly complex way.
This is illustrated by a comparison of
man’s simple response to’ changes in
temperature with those of a mechan-
ical device such as a thermometer.
The response of a thermometer to a
change in temperature is not in-
fluenced by its previous experience of
other changes, while in man such a
response is inevitably influenced by
other conditions present simultane-
ously with the stimulus in the past.
Thus one could never have a perfectly
simple response by a man. The near-
est approach, a response to a perfectly
new stimulus, would be recognized or
classified by man in the light of his
experience of earlier stimuli, as a
“new kind of pain” for example. The
basis of its meaning for him would lie
in the past.

Psychologists recognize sensations,
defined as perfectly simple things, or
data, as non-existent. In their place
one finds perceptions which take what
one experiences through the senses
as “a thing of a sort.” In perception

man has also the process, which is

present in all thinking, of sorting.
This Removes Difficulties

This conception of thinking is an
important part of the theorem which
wishes to explain meaning. It re-
moves the difficulties raised in the

troversies of the eighteenth century
which sought to solve the question of
whether we have, how we come by,
and how we may conceive of abstract
ideas. These problems may be avoided
by the theory which alleges the pri-







nominalist - realist - conceptualist con-



° : : i » : '
| mordial existence and abstractness of |

ideas. The theory follows William
James in saying that an amoeba, if: it
recognizes its food before ingesting it,
would be thinking insofar as“t was
defining a generality, or taking some-
thing of a sort.

This theory then solves the eight-
eenth century ' question by “standing
it on its head.” As the, problem was
formulated then it ran: given this
and that specific thing, how can we
arrive at a conception of an abstract
anything? The theory recommends
starting at anything and deriving
things by sorting, or defining them as
of a sort. Meaning, therefore, is a
delegated efficacy.

Applied to words, the theory must
presuppose an understanding, or at
least a technical definition of context.

~ Chinese Art Exhibit
Large Group of Early Bronzes

Show Mastery of Technique,
Great Originality

Ernst Diez Talks’ on





Deanery, February 11.—The ex-
hibition of Chinese Art at Burling-
ton House in London includes some
of the finest examples of sculpture,
bronzes, jades, lacquer-work, cera-
mics and painting which could be
gathered from museums and private
Dr.
Ernst Diez described impressively the
great statue of the Amida Buddha;

first piece seen by the visitor to the
exhibition.

Most of the Chinese sculpture has
either remained in China or come to
American museums and collections,

has. been able to see the best ex-
amples of this art. Another work,
which Sir Percival David, director
of the Exhibition, considers as “per-
haps the greatest in the world,” is a
marble Bodhisattva of the T’ang per-
iod (618-906 A. D.). This statue has
both Greek and Indian elements but
the vitalizing spirit is purely Chinese.

The bronzes in the Exhibition are
perhaps the most important. The
Chinese government loaned over a
hundred of ‘the so-called Palace
bronzes, which have been above
ground ever since they were cast,
while the pieces from western collec-
tions have been recently excavated
and still retain, for the most part,
their patina resulting from a long
burial.

The early bronzes of the Shang-
Yin dynasty (1766-1122 B. C.) are
of such originality of conception and
mastery of technique that it is in-
credible that they should be without
predecessors, although we know of
none as yet. Bronzes of succeeding
dynasties show the development in
style from the Archaic and the finely-
proportioned Classical to the later
Baroque and Rococco. The Shang-
Yin period is represented by an im-
posing ceremonial wine-vessel, decor-
ated with animal figures and a tao-
tieh or glutton mask. Later styles
are much freer; an inlaid vessel of
the Han dynasty. (206 B. C.—220
A. D.) shows how a naturalistic con-
ception of landscape grows out of
pure ornament.

Jades can be dated by their designs
which correspond to contemporary
bronzes. There are many jade sym-
bols in the Exhibition; the earliest,
of the Shang-Yin period are merely
incised and are very. simple. A
more sophisticated design, rhythmi-
cally interlaced, is of the Han period.

The style of the ceramic of each
period is an index to the art. There
is the breadth and power of T’ang,
the reserve and purity of Sung, the
coloured splendor of Ming, the dainty
elegance of the later periods. In the
Sung period monochrome _ glazes
were favored, sometimes crackled.
There was also some attractive poly-
chrome ware manufactured in Tzu-
Chou. The Chun-yao is a famous
ware with a lilac-purple glaze which
imitates the old forms of Tsun. The
buff or gray stoneware of Tzu-Chou,
the northernmost province of China,
has been produced from Sung times
up to the present day.

Among the paintings in the Ex-
hibition, one on silk of a “Herd of
Deer in a Forest in Autumn” is at-
tributed by Chinese to the Five Dy-
nasties (907—960 A. D.), but is
better dated in the fourteenth cen-
tury. It.is certainly the finest in
the Exhibition and is remarkable for
its masterly and restrained compos-
ition, its soft coloring and magnifi-
cent drawing. ee

Among the scrolls, the~most popu-
lar is the “Hundred Wild Geese” of
Ma-Fen, of the eleventh century.
A Ming scroll, “Trees by a Bridge,”
especially praised by Arthur Waley,
an outstanding authority in the field,
was done by one of those versatile
Fiterary painters who were musicians
and poets as well. “Sparrows on a
Bamboo Branch” combines sweetness
and grandeur; and a fifteenth cen-

tury painting, “Ducks in the Snow,”

includes a bent and twisted tree

Group Studies Problems
Of Labor and Industry

(Especially contributed by Mary
Flanders, ’37, and Dorothea Seelye,
38).

Even though ‘you may agree with}
AI Smith that the United States must
eventually choose between Washington

and Moscow for its capital, you
probably realize nevertheless that
these are “changing times.” With-

out necessarily advocating the violent
overthrow of the government, you
can still take an intelligent interest
in the problems of labor and indus-
try, which are becoming an increas-
ingly important national issue.

Few people seem to be aware of
the activity carried on on campus
for the study of these moot questions.
The Bryn Mawr League’s Industrial
Group affords an unusual opportunity
for students interested in these mat-
ters. The Group holds suppers every
three or four weeks to which not only
graduates and undergraduates, but
also industrial workers from the
Germantown Y. W. C. Av’are invited.
At every meeting there is a talk on
some subject chosen by the Group
at a previous meeting. The speakers
vary greatly not only in age and
occupation, but also in background
and, outlook. The last speaker, for
example, Miss Mary Tomassi, was a
hosiery-worker in her early twenties.
She had been a delegate to the Amer-
ican Youth Congress and twice a
student at the Bryn Mawr Summer
School. At one of the Group’s next
meetings there will be an informal
debate between Miss Fairchild and
Dr. Anderson. Following the short
address there are questions from -the
floor and general discussion.

A~other attractive feature of the
Group is that no formal enrollment
or payment of dues is necessary for
the enjoyment of its advantages. All
graduates and undergraduates are
welcome to any or all of the meet-
ings, the only charge being thirty-
five cents for every supper consumed.
Even this exorbitant expenditure
can be avoided by coming after sup-,
per, although in so doing you will
lose the opportunity of meeting the
industrial workers.



Time Offers Current
Events Test Contest



Interest in current affairs has al-
ways been strong at Bryn Mawr and
in former years the college used to
stimulate it still further by holding
a current events contest each year.
The magazine Time is planning a
similar contest this year which will

schools throughout the country. Bryn
Mawr has been asked to participate.
The date for the test has been tenta-
tively set for May 2. It will last for
about an hour.

There will be several cash prizes.
awarded totaling seventy-five dollars.
The contest is open to all undergradu-
ates and it is hoped that there: will be
a large number of participants! A
member of the faculty will supervise
the administering and correction of
the test, which will be supplied by
Time.

The test will be prepared by Pro-
fessors Eurich and Wilson, of the
University of Minnesota, both of whom
are experienced in making examina-
tions of this sort. They are the °co-
authors of the Cooperative Contem-
porary Affairs Test of the American
Council of Education. The particular
questions which they are preparing for
this contest include items on National
Affairs, Foreign News, Business and
Finance, Transport, Science, Music
and Art, and Books. The test has
been arranged so that students’ with
different interests have an approxi-
mately equal opportunity. For each
question asked there are five possible
answers listed. The-correct one is to
be selected and its number placed on
the answer sheet. -No special prepar-
ation is necessary for the test, as it is
designed to determine the extent to
which students are interested in cur-
rent events and to stimulate greater

Theorems Are Sought
For Modes of Meaning

Continued from Page One .

Words are like signs, they stand‘ for
what is not present. A word takes the
place of an omission. Like other
signs, it does its work through its
context.

Meaning Rests on Causal Events

In its familiar literary sense, the
context of a given word depends on
its relationship with other words, or
can even be conceived of as influenced
by all knowledge relevant to its inter-
pretation. In attempting to define it as
a technical term, one must recognize
governing factors. of interpretation.
In a broad sense, all meaning depends
on causal occurrences.

_ The causal law, stated in general
terms, says that under given condi-
ions. of two events, if one happens,

he other also happens. The first

-

‘cause and effect occur simultaneously,

as when one claps his hands, both
palms tingle. In other instances, the
last event is the reason for the first;
it is a final cause. . Accordingly, a
lecture which is to be given is the
cause of *the gathering of the audi-
ence. :

These definitions are, of course,
arbitrary, as all definitions must be.
In discussions of cause and effect one
may take the motion of the world or
the ticking of a clock as one event.: A
coroner defines the cause of the death
of a victim of homicide as the jmur-
derous act of his slayer, whereas it
might also be defined as the victim’s
meeting with the murderer, or of his
failure to wear a bullet-proof vest.
The coroner selects that event as the
cause in which he is particularly in-
terested.

In the same way it is necessary in
attempting to find a definition of the
context of a word, arbitrarily to in-
terest oneself in that type of causal
occurence which is concerned with
delegated efficacy. In a meaningful
context a word is an item. It takes
the duties of the absent part of the
context, it is an abridgement. What
a word means is the missing part of
a context.

Psychological Means Unknown

How the delegation of this efficacy
in words is accomplished cannot yet
be explained. Even in the simples’
conditioned reflex, the previous con-
ditioning experience is recalled in a
manner quite mysterious. One can
assume residual effects of the con-
ditioning factors on the nervous sys-
tem, or one can go even further and
imagine a sort of telephone system in
the brain. But how the neural :
archives are consulted in the case of
a conditioned reflex, and how the
proper telephonic connections occur,
is a problem which has not been
solved.

Nevertheless, one can _ progress
further toward the understanding of
the context of a word without solving
the question of how the delegation of
its efficacy occurs. When one con-
ceives a concrete object, primordial
generality makes the conception mean-
ingful. Impressions are the products
of the coming together or concrescence
of former sortings, and these sortings
were made, in the last analysis, in
accordance with the abstract mental
conceptions by which all sense ex-
periences are recognized. In under-
standing this concept, one must not
confuse the intellectual process of ab-
straction with primordial abstraction
which existed before there was. any
thinking. Things are instances of
laws; concrete meanings depend on
fundamental abstractions.

The above theorem does no at-
tempt to define the procedure for solv-
ing problems of meaning, for example
by tracking down the missing part of
the context of a word or group of
words. It is only meant to eliminate
certain practices and beliefs common
in the older study of rhetoric. One
example is the belief that if a passage
means one thing, it cannot mean any
other.

Many Possible Meanings

Just in this way the knowledge of
the basic laws of physics eliminates
stubborn beliefs like that of Gladstone
that snow possesses a property to
penetrate leather that water does not
possess. As Freud taught us that
dreams can be interpreted many ways,
the new method of rhetoric teaches
that all discourse (except for certain
technical terms, mostly scientific) is
distinguished by having a multiplicity
of possible meanings.

This is illustrated strikingly by con-
troversy, which is the exploitation of
misunderstandings for a purpose. The
context theorem will expect ambiguity
almost everywhere in discourse, not,
as in old rhetoric, as a fault to be
eliminated if possible, but as a funda-
mental characteristic. In considering
the rival aims of discourse, it will
recognize ambiguity, of course, as a
nuisance, but at the same time it will
realize that pure exposition is a high-
ly specialized function for which our
language is not yet adapted.

The next step is to apply the theory
to ‘specific problems. If one wishes to
consider the problem of the meaning
of words which are put together in
sentences, one should reverse the proc-
ess, and attempt to isolate discrete
meanings of separate words out of the
complete context of the sentence.
When this procedure is applied to
various real sentences, the problems
will be literary, not philosophical.

Campus Notes:

Miss Meigs has completed a book
called Young Americans, to be pub-
lished in June by Ginn & Co. Young
Americans is a supplementary histori-
cal reader containing short stories



ber of years. It is a study of fictitious
young people and “how history looked
to them while it was in the making.”

Miss Swindler was recently elected
to the Committee on Publication and
Research of the American Council of
Learned Societies.

She has given us some information
about the Preliminary Expedition to
Cilicia, 1934, for which Miss. Swindler
raised the money, and about the Exca-
vations at. Gézlii Kule, Tarsus, in 1935.
(A write-up of the accomplishments
of the expeditions may be found in the
American Journal of Archaeology Vol.
34, 1935, No. 4 by. Hetty Goldman,
Field Director, who formerly went to
Bryn Mawr.) “Most important,” says
Miss Swindler, “was discovery of a
circular clay bulla with a cuneiform
inscription around the edge and Hit- |
tite characters in the center. ‘The seal
has been read by Professor Sétze, vis-
iting professor at Yale’ University.

Line.w Mr. Sandy Hurst secured Dr.
Michael’s services.

Dr. Blanchard attended a Confer-

docrines.

Dr. Fenwick has recently been’ in
Washington attending the Eleventh
Conference on the Cause and Cure of
War. The conference was held at the
Hall of Nations from January 21 to
24. Dr. Fenwick, in the Politics
Group, spoke on the Interrelations of



Political and Economic Security.

Dr. Miller of the Sociology Departs |
ment has given many speeches and
read many papers within the last few
weeks. During the Christmas recess
he read a paper at the Conference of
Jewish Relations, New York, on So-
ciological Aspects of Race and Group

Miller will read a paper later in the
spring on Some Practical Contribu-
tions of Communism.

If anyone is interested in taking a
trip to Russia next summer, Dr. Mil-
ler is anxious to give them some prac-
tical advice. He will not be going
himself this year, but will help any-
one to plan an interesting and success-
ful trip.

The materials for making the
flowers were distributed to all the halls
at 1.30 p. m. on Friday and had been
used up by mid-afternoon. More ma-

On Three-Year Basis

ese
-At a recentgmeeting of the Board

of the Athletic Association it was de-
cided to revise the point system on a
three-year basis instead of:a four-
year basis in order to take care of
May’ Day. Nobody will receive any
points for any sport,in a May Day
year.

According to this system a person
would need only three-fourths as many
points as heretofore in order to get a
stripe, class insignia, college blazer
or insignia. May Day year, then,
woulgdfot count at all. The new mem-
bers of the varsity hockey team ‘in
that year will get their little owl in-
signia as usual, but no one playing
hockey will get any points for it.

The Board of the Athletic Associ-
ation recommends that there should
be no swimming, basketball or tennis
attempted in May Day years. It was
tried this year in both basketball and
swimming and it was found. that
neither coaches nor students had

time enough to carry out any program |:

of practices or games.

Students on .Honor *
To Come to Dancing



Music Room, February 11.
“Every student in college must take
the responsibility for coming to folk-
dancing practice two separate half-
hours a week,” Miss Petts announced.

Everyone dances three folk-dances,
“Peascod,” “Sellinger’s Round” and
(“The Twenty-ninth of May.” All
‘three must be done well and accu-
rately or the whole effect will~ be
marred. ©

There are, in addition to the regu-
lar .dances, four special dances, for
two of which the dancers have al-
ready been chosen. The country and
Morris dancers have been selected;
the other two are the sword and
horn dances, The latter is being ,
given here. for the first time this
year and is most effective, although
its steps are simple. The dancers
wear twelve-point antlers (probably
to be made of papier mache).

Current Events

(Gleaned from Dr. Fenwick’s Talk)

Music Room, February 18.—The
biggest news\of the week and next
to the AAA decision, the biggest
news of the winter, was the Decision
of the Supreme Court in favor of
the constitutionality. of ‘the TVA.
One of the great ideas of President
Roosevelt when he was governor of
New York was to harness. the rivers
of the state and make cheap. electric-
ity. He carried the idea ‘to the
White House and expanded it, into
a Wast project to build several dams
the length of the great Tennessee
River to control the floods and the
erosion which had made a_ waste
tract of the river valley. Muscle
Shoals built it wartime for nitrates
‘and since then idle, was the begin-
ning of the projects. With the new
project went ah entire new deal in
plans for the future fertile valley,
including large sums of money for
dams, power plants at the dams and
housing projects.

The great power companies of the
South objected that the government
would produce cheap power to com-
pete with private business. Cries
of “Socialism” and “unfair public
utilities’ brought mutual accusa-
tions, The Supreme Court was to
‘decide, and by a vote of five to four
stated that the stockholders of a
company could not appeal to the
court and -“‘enjoin” its corporation
not to do something because it was
unconstitutional. That disposed of
the immediate technical question on
which the stockholders of the Ala-
bama Power Company had appealed.
The second decision on the merits of
the case by a vote of eight to one
said that the government could build













dams ™ control navigation under in-
terstate commerce, that the surplus
water could be used for water power,
that this power could be sold to the
public, and that the lines of private
companies could be rented to get the
electricity to the consumer... °The
government as private business has
a right to dispose of its property.
The’ case was, however, limited to
Muscles Shoals, built in wartime, and
therefore leaves many problems un-
settled. Whether
can continue the*entire vast project
for reclamation is’ an unanswered
question.

The neutrality bill was shelved un-

til” May 1, 1937, thus disappointing

many who had«hoped that by limit-
ing U. S, oil exports to Italy to a
peacetime basis the Italian-Ethio-
pian War could be speedily forced
to a close.



Miss Pritchett Urges
Photographic Careers

Common Room, February 17.—“If
you are the sort of person who feels
that she must always have perfectly
manicured hands and pink finger-
nails, you may at once dismiss all
thought of taking up, photography
as a profession,” Miss Ida Pritchett
told undergraduates. Photography is
an excellent hobby. It is infinitely
varied; ‘it takes you out of doors,
and it: sets a multitude of challeng-
ing problems. No one, however,
should go into the work profession-
ally until she knows the worst about
it, and those who have done their
own developing do know some of the
worst.

When you have once decided to
take up the work seriously, there is
no use to try to take short-etts, as
any such attem It in an

ultimate _ loss. First, _ then, Miss
Pritchett. strongly advocated going
to a photographic school. There one

the dirty work. A _ knowledge of
physics and chemistry will proye a
great asset to the photographer, for
it will aid her in varying her meth-
ods and will point where troubles
may lie.

Miss Pritchett suggested that af-
ter this preliminary training, you
should go into an active photographic
studio even if you must do it~ only
as a volunteer. Such work will give
quite a different point of view, as
the student is now looking at the
subject from the professional angle.

When you have completed this sec-
ond course, you are ready. to set out
on a career of real professional pho-
tography. There are several courses
that can now be followed, but sooner
or later the ambitious photographer
must branch out for herself if she
wants to do her own work in her
own way. She who sets out to do
her own work will find: all sorts of
fascinating fields awaiting. her. She
may take pictures for ‘magazine arti-
cles; she may do various still-life
and indoor studies; but the main-
stay of the work in a photographic
studio is portrait studies.

Portraits and still-life work open
up a field of special interest because
it is one in which the photographer
can control the conditions—the light-
ing in particular. The good pho-
tographer must learn to know what
lighting is best for each different
sort of face, for it should be differ-
ent for the old and the young, for
people with round faces and people
with angular faces. If necessary the

better.

It is worth while for the student
of photography to go to museums and
see how painters work out their por-
traits. She ‘should study the infin-
ity of lighting effects, for every
painter uses a different effect.

Nobody can tell you how to take
your pictures, nor what equipment
to. use. You must choose for your-
self. Miss Pritchett prefers large
cameras. Her. big camera is six and
a half inches by eight and ‘a half,
and her smaller one is nine centi-
meters by twelve centimeters. If
you get used to using a large camera,
it proves almost: impossible to go
back to a small one.

Photography is an excellent field
for women. It is one of the few pro-
fessions in which they can success-
fully compete with men. They come
in contact with all sorts of people;
and the variety in subject matter
and in methods of printing is almost
infinite.
