Under the auspices of the Science
Club, Dr. L. C. Graton, Professor of
Mining. Geology at Harvard Uni-
versity, gave a lecture in the Music
Room .of Goodhart, Friday evening,
February 21, the subject of Dr. Grat-

“How to Behave as a Human Being
When a Mile and Half Below Ground.”
Two years ago, Dr. Graton said, the

Buenos Aires to Cape Town stopped

Traffic Changes Necessary
Acting President Manning spoke in
Tuesday chapel in regard to the new
rule to exclude automobiles from the
campus. The announcement of ~ the
change had excited considerable com-
ment, and Mrs. Manning wished to
show how the present decision had
been reached. The... automobile evil
has been increasing for longer than
five years, and the present ‘arrange-
ment of the read system is inadequate.
The first suggestion to change the sys-
tem was made by President Park, and
Mr. Cram, the architect of several of
the College buildings, suggested a new
system of exits and entrances, in
which a road would be made around
- Taylor and out between Dalton and

Hope to Create Interest
in Geneva Scholarships

Union _held_a_conferencein-New. York

about forty of the Eastern. colleges
participated, FE. Latane;’30,represent--
ing Bryn Mawr. The purpose of the
conference was dual: to dfScuss inter-
national questions and to select re-
\cipients for the annual Geneva scho-
larships. : ==
The opportunities afforded by these
scholarships are of unique advantage
to any who may be interested in in-
ternational affairs... Here at..Bryn
Mawr there is an International. Rela-
tions Club, but this is unfortunately
connected with, and largely absorbed
by, the Liberal Club, therefore attract-
ing little attention from students. not
particularly interested in labor prob-
lems. On the other hand, most of the
colleges \represented at the recent con-
ference. have International Relations
Clubs of\ considerable activity. But
there are\ undoubtedly many Bryn
Mawr students who would, be inter-
ested in the Students’ International
Union jf they realized what this union
offers.
At the conference last week many
current subjects of international in-
terest were presented, with round table
discussions led by Dr. Herbert. Feis
and “Dr. Parker T. Moon,.. of Colum-:
bia University. Aniong the topics dis-
cussed were such as—how far the
causes of war could be removed, dis-
armament, the next steps toward in-
ternational peace, etc. There was also’
an interesting discussion as to how

=m Wnignie Play) -
“Sparkin’,” a Mid-Western One-
Act Comedy, Is
Well Done.
E. DYER HEADS - CAST
On Thursday evening, February 20,
the Players presented “Sparkin’,” a
one-act play by E. P. Conkle. The
play is a farce depicting a phase of
life on a farm in the Middle West and
was chosen for its uniqueness, and-the
fopportunities —
parts.
for acting character
young hired man from a neighboring
farm who. comes. to. call upon the
daughter of the house, and is greatly
hampered by the fact that “Granny”
flatly refuses to retire tactfully to bed.
She induces: “Orrie” to chew tobacco,
greatly to his discomfort, and the dra-
matic climax of the play- is reached
when it is discovered that he has been
expectorating in the closet, which | he
mistook for the front door, and in
which “Granny’s” newly-ironed white
dress_is hanging.— %
Ethel Dyer played the part of the
Grandmother very effectively. The
feeling of age was perfectly main-
tained by her acting and expression as
well as by her high, strident voice.
Her changes of mood showed ‘hér ver-
satility and a thorough understanding
of her part. Catherine Rieser put the
necessary feeling of uneasiness and
nervousness in the part of “Orrie,”
but partly because of her height she
was not completely convincing. A
typical country bumpkin is usually
taller and therefore more awkward and
at a loss to know how to manage his
arms and legs. In all other respects,
however, Miss Rieser made a very sat-
isfying and amusing young man. The
daughter, “Lessie,” was charmingly
done by Janet Marshall. Her shyness
was combined with alternate touches
of-coyness and frankness which made
the character a very, real and interest-
ing one. Margaret Reinhardt played
“Susie,” “Lessie’s” mother, with the
proper resignation to a life of hard
work on a farm, made even harder by
having a*fnother -such as “Granny.”
One truly felt that her- life had “given
her a-solidity, and a simple philosophy
that was adequate for her existence.
evidenced by the smoothness and the
even tenure of the whole production.
The receptive. and appreciative audi-
ence truly felt that they could settle
back in their seats and amply enjoy
‘all the fine points ‘of comic action
the management which is so often the
case at amateur productions. The at-
mospheré created by the scenery per-
fectly blended into the ‘mood of : the
play, and even the pictorial calendar on
the wall contributed to the perfection
of the whole. By this excellent pro-
duction, “Players” again gave the col-
lege an opportunity to enjoy their tal-
ents. which were displayed in a new
and jocose field.

' Play-For Relafation
Handcuffs are: rather anbpost: acces-
sories for a dinner table; nevertheless
in Barrie’s one-act play, “Shall We Join
the Ladies?” the host actually reaches
down under the table near his feet,
“where,” Barrie says, “other — people
merely have a table-napkin,” and brings
to light a pair of steel bracelets; They
are intended for the murderer of his
brother, and that murderer is one of the
twelve guests sitting around his table.
The action hinges on the problem of de-
tecting the guilty individual.’ The author
draws the story to a ¢limax at the end
of the first act,.then leaves the audience
to work out its own solution of the mys-
tery, since the play is unfinished.
“Shall We Join. the Ladies?” isto be
given in Goodhart Hall, under the aus-
pices of the Graduate Club, Monday eve-
ning, March 17. The-purpose is’ not to
add to the Club treasury; nor is its ob-
-+ject to bring the graduates any particular
recognition, histrionic or otherwise, from
the undergraduates. The prime motive
is relaxation and amusement for the
graduates themselves. Judging from
“Street Scene” in the Freshman play,
the poor things need’ something. Hence
the—_play—was—chosen..with the idea_ of
providing as many people as possible at
least--with smatt—parts. The ‘large cast

1933 Stars in- Aquatic Meet
On Friday P. M., February 21, ‘the
Freshman Swimming Team made a
triumphant first appearance, winning
an easy victory with.four first places
out of six~events.' The red-capped
swimmers proved a strong team and
should furnish good material for
Varsity. In the 40-yard dash and the
backstroke, Kruse, ’33’s -star-of;-the
day, placed first without serious oppo-
sition, while the breast stroke went as
easily-to another Freshman, Torrance.
730 and ’32 placed second and third
throughout; in the crawl for form, E.
Thomas won for. ’31 its only score.
The relay was decided by the disquali-
fying of the Freshmen and Juniors.
The diving -was mediocre. The
Freshmen victors, Jackson and Bow-
ditch, showed excellent promise, wet-
ting good | hgight, although tHeir~ tim-
ing and entry. in the water lacked pre-
cision and finish. —

Dress Manifestations
“It is ‘amusing to watch the changes
in dressing over a period of years,”
said Miss Carey, addressing a re-
markably large audience in Chapel on
Thursday. “One can see $0 many
of the same tendencies coming out.
When I. was in college we dressed
plainly and simply, although it was
always the custom to dress for dinner
and in Pembroke particularly it was
considered bad form not to do so.
However there were some other very
curious schemes of dressing: a firm
was started by two ambitious people
in my class who ordered one hundred
and’ fifty -red firemen’s undershirts
from Sears and Roebuck for one dol-
lar and fifty cents, and made an enor-
mous profit by selling them for_ five
dollars a piece. . You can imagine the
color effect on the ‘campus. They also
made gingham skirts with elastic
around the waist, and, sold them to
many unsuspecting people who wore
them with middy blouses.”

an unbiased analysis of manifestations

isn’t. until you examine them carefully

Machine-Age Literature
The Speakers’ Committee of the Un-_
dergraduate Association, under whose
auspices many of the outside lectures at
college, in,:recent years have: been given,
has embarked on a new policy. The col-
lege curriculum allows this committee
_| five_evenings—duringthe-year—for—formal——— —
lectures. This year, in place of one of
these evenings, the Committee is plan-
ning a series of three informal talks, to
beheld in the Common Room of Géod-
hart Hall, on Wednesdays, March 5, 19
and 26.
These ‘talks will deal, with contempo-
rary litérature, a subject which, the
Committee feels,.is of continued interest
to all active students, many of whom,
in their crowded programs, have little
time for extensive reading of the modern
authors. The Committee has arranged,
therefore, to present these three talks,
to be given by Margaret Fleisher Sloss,
on Literature in the Machine Age. The
first of the series will take up the influence
of the Machine, Freud and War, as
shown by such people as O'Neill, Hem-
ingway and Krutch. The second’ will
deal with the Sophisticates, who exem-
plify the new ideal of “smartness” in lit-
erature, writers such as Cabell or Ers-
kine. _The third talk will be “concerned
with the. Sensitives, Katherine Mansfield, .
Mary Webb and- others.

THAT ELUSIVE QUORUM
We have recently come to a
strange but inevitable conclusion.
It concerns the attitude of the stu-
dents toward the laws regulating
their life in the college community,
and probably is a foreshadowing of
their later attitudes toward the laws
of larger communities. These stu-
dents become incensed at the pros-
pect of losing ‘a privilege which.
they have scarcely exercised, and
have not the enthusiasm to support
a measure, the purpose of which. is
to give ‘them more freedom. This
cherishing and jealous guarding of
an abstract right was exemplified in
the recent heated and well-packed
~ discussions over~the—use--of—alco-
holic beverages on the campus.
Last week a meeting of the Self-
Government Association was held
to. discuss for the second time
whether men should be allowed in
the students’. rooms unchaperoned.
Unfortunately even less of a
quorum appeared than before and]
the question could only be put to a
Now_ the association
or to hold a.third meeting. One
would think from these ifidications
that Self-Government was a tediotis
organization, established merely, to
give several girls the opportunity of
being officials, and having nothing
todo. with student affairs. Is a
group even as small as the student
group at Bryn Mawr never going
to realize that the Self-Government
Association deals with all the prob-
lems concerning student life and
that it is what the group makes it?
It is not trying to tyrannize or ,to
hold back, but to formulate increas-
ingly liberal regulations, in keeping
with ‘the students’ wishes. It is
not possible for the officers to know
those wishes and to approach them
intelligently unless: the student will
co-operate, at least to the extent of
being present when changes are
considered.

YWERIAL HORS-D’OEUVRES
It was only after much discussion
of both students and alumnae, ex-
pressed verbally and in letters and
editorials in THe News, that Good-
hart- was. finally- provided with a
radio. General opinion seemed to
indicate, that the time ‘had arrived
when such an investment would far
©} exceed in advantages its initial cost,
for the opportunities of the radio
both for education and. pleasure are
obvious and indisputable. That it
should have been placed in the
Commons Room was _ appropriate
and convenient, since there students
from all over the campus may en-
joy it in comfortable and pleasant
surroundings. s
It is our opinion that the use of
the radio should be extended and
we therefore suggest that the Com-
mons Room be kept open late on
Saturday nights. We feel that this
privilege would be enthusiastically
welcomed by those who find them-
selves still at college over the week-
end.
Obviously some mechanism
would have to be tried out to prove
suggestion. The wardens are
usually up late on Saturdays any-
way so that they would suffer, little
inconvenience.-<—Wnder=~a-—-spectal
permission system it seems a feasi-
ble and a happy idea.
We _ are, however, somewhat
despairing of the success of the
scheme. Our discouragement re-
sults--from~ the feeble responses
|which the. student. body has lately
made to Self-Government appeals.
Jealous as we are of our Self-Gov-
ernment privileges, it was impossi-
ble to achieve\a quorum at recent
meetings’ where the outcome would
have distinctly affected the interests
of the students. We grieve to see
constructive ideas perishing from
passive neglect.

The most recent innovation which
has come .to our attention is the

The College has gathered together
to choose the officers on whose shoul-
ders the responsibility of one of the
college associations will rest next
year.” A buzz of whispering fills’ the
room. “Nominations are in order for
a treasurer from the Freshman Class.”
In a corner alittle. group of Seniors
are leaning. forward with bated breath
asking the Freshman in front of them,
“Who is your class thinking of?” to
which the Freshman is heard to reply:
“Well, my rodm-mate would be splen-
did. There she is over there.” The
Seniors settle back, stare critically at
the Psyche knot designated. “I don’t
like her looks,” says one. ‘“Who’s the
one in the good looking dress next to
her? I’m going to vote for her.’ And
she .does; thus the election goes.
Freshmen vote for unknown Seniors;
a Sophomore is put on an undergradu-
ate association board because she is
well known through varsity hockey.
The new system that has been pro-
posed for electing the Christian Asso-

THE COLLEGE NEWS.
‘Dr. Graton
Continued from Page -One
is increasingly difficult to find enough
ore, and since one great source is at
depth this demand will mean going
more deeply into the now productive
regions. The relative definition of a
deep mine is one which goes on at a
vertical depth of 5000 feet below the
surface—approximately a mile; the
four deepest mines are in the Lake
Superior copper district, the old gold
region of South Central India, in Bra-
zil, and in the gold district of South|
Africa; seven tinies the height of the
Chrysler Building would be a rough
estimate of the depth of such a mine.
The subject of .deep mining is
divided into two headings: the geologic
question of the depth to which ore per-
sists and whether the grade of the ore,
changes with depth, and the engineer-
ing problem of mining at great depth.
The great deposits of precious and
semi-precious metals are formed by the
precipitation and deposit of metals
from a solution that, like the’ volcanic
eruption, is a product of the deep-
seated processes of the earth; by .the
pulse of the terrific pressure in the
depths, the solution elbows its way
through: the. rocks. There is every
‘reason to expect that deposits persist
down at definite distances, even when
the depth is far greater than may be
attained by the miner; also, the deep-
est ore not less rich when the shallow
is mined years before, and in Brazil
where there is one continuous ore
body mined on the incline for over
three miles, the ore of the lower one-
third is richer than that of the upper
two-thirds. Quantity and_ richness,
however, are not the only requirements
of a mine; mining is just as depend-
ent on‘ the selling prices and the cost
of production as the manufacture of
shoes_or the farming of wheat.
Difficulties Defined.
The conditions of ore extraction con-
stitute problems in part—engineering
and_in_part-economic.-_ Engineering is
concerned with the depth itself and
the time it takes to lower men and
machinery to that depth, with ventila-
tion and temperature, and lastly with
rock pressure. A problem of depth is
the pumping of the water which fills
the shaft as if it were a great well;
pumping has to go on during every
minute of the day’s twenty-four hours;
but the deepest mines are dry, because
water is. present only in the upper
levels, if the water is prevented from
Hoisting,the~ raising
and lowering of ore, men and ma-
chines, constitutes a vicious circle: the
deeper the mine, the stronger the ca-
ble has to be,:and the stronger the
cable the heavier it must be, until in
mines of a vertical mile in depth, the
weight of the cable exceeds the weight
of the load; this difficulty is sur-
mounted by a second hoisting engine
at the. econoniic optimum, a distance
of 4000 feet below the ‘surface. . The
time factor is a serious financial draw-
back: three hours out of the miner’s
day are spent in the elevator, one and
a half hours-of which time is paid for
as work by the company. . Ventilation
’ and temperature may be considered
jointly; enough oxygen must be main-
tained for breathing’ and “for the seep-
ing way of the deleterious gases; and
the deeper the mine, the more impor-
tant, difficult and expensive the ven-
tilation; the temperature of the rocks,
and therefore of the air, increases on
the average one degree in a hundred
to two hundred feet of depth; humidity
is the vital thing and in the deep mines
the. humidity’ is very high and ‘human
efficiency is thereby greatly reduced—
humidity sometimes attains the
saturation point, and so increases the
heat of the \gyman body that human
efficiency falls off to a 50% or even
30% of the work accomplished on the
surface. In the deep mine the natural
downcast and upcast circulation is not
sufficient, ecaleas the long distances
over-balance. the. downward tendency
andthe air has to be forced to the
depths; but even when fresh air
sent through the mine, -it~ becomes

__heated—and= saturated with moisture.
In India ventilation is improved by
racks of ice in the drifts, but the most
successful experiment has been carried
through’ bythe Brazilian-mine,- where
the air is chilled to 43 by refrigeration
on the, surface, and is then pumped
down And reaches the bottom witha;
humidity of only 70% although the
temperature is high; plans are now
being made.for_undérground. refrigera-
a tion as well, because as the mine pene-
——trates deeper-a surface plant becomes
inadequate; the underground plant
coujd reduce tht temperature to below
100°. Rock pressure is another prob-
lem of engineering; rock pressure in-
creases with depth due to the increas-
ing thickness and therefore weight of
the mass of rocks; where great bodies
of ore have been rémoved the load of
the overlying rock is concentrated
upon remnants of ore and rock pillars;
as the pillars become smallegythep »~
oxy ASN -tOr Fock, “although* yt ts}
strong and rigid, is an elastic ma-
terial, and when its elastic limit is
reached it will crush, and exceedingly
severe results are felt throughout the
excavated region—air blasts’ produced
by the displacement of the confirmed
air rush out through the shaft causing
great damage; the falling rock actually
explodes at the crushing point, and
the shock is transmitted in all direc-
tions accompanied by all the phe-
nomena of an--earthquake. When a
pillar becomes so small in proportion
to the opening around it that it almost
fails, it will crush when the drift is’
driven through; if the “rocks talk” the
miner knows that the pressure’ is dis-
tributed and the rock will break-in
small pieces, causing less serious cas-
ualties than the crushing without
warning of the “silent” pillar.
Deep Mining Limits Seen.
As._to.the-matter-of-what lies ahead
in the question of. mining: «man can
combat distance and time with his
ingenuity, and temperature and ventila-
tion can be controlled. If these were
the “only difficulties, we might expect
that deep mining might go on to
}depths far greater-than the present
maximum, but when the problem of
rock pressure is faced, man is at the
end of his ingenuity. Plan after plan
has been carried out for the support
of the rocks as the ore is removed, but
each...is--quickly outlived: “in India
timbers and then cribs, and then boxes
filled with waste rock proved. unsuc-
‘cessful, and the scheme of pumping
back the sand, the earthy part of the
ore, was hot Satisfactory; steel- pillars
crumple like tin-foil; the concrete
“doughnuts” with cores of steel or con-
crete, used in Africa, crush; the granite
walls now built in India are the limit
of the possibilities in the line of sup-
port,-and-are too expensive to be used
throughout. Rock pressure creates a
positive limit to man’s progress down;
a time would come when a single little
hole large enough to hold one man
would crush him and when, theoreti-
cally,_as_fast—as—he tried to make a
hole the rocks would fall in. ~It: is
dangerous to predict a limit, because
the man who sets a limit is likely to
see it- exceeded, but the edge of the
deep mining possibilities can be seen.
The mining scheme used in the deep
Michigan copper mine entails the low-
est costs and the fewest accidents;
three levels extending from either side
of the shaft operate as a unit; the ore
is broken away working back from the
boundaries of the levels toward the
shaft; .only. temporary supports . of
timber are -used.because by: the time
they begin to fail, the operation will
have been completed and the region
will not again be wanted; the hang:
ing wall is allowed to cave in and some
to reset on the foot wall; the whole

Engineers of other countries are ob-
sessed with the idea that the wall must
not. crack, but they will eventually
Phave’ to come to this method or else
lose the fight against rock pressure.
A final guess can be made as to the
ultimate maximum depth: the deepest
mine, the Rand, at présent is 7600 feet
below the surface and it will go deep-
er. If the grade and the quantity is
"st to warrant it, it will probably
get to 10,000 feet in the Rand and in

in Michigan. Something like two
miles looks to be the limit; tempera-

Three Types of Colleges
A division of colleges into three types
—one for the “bread-and-butter” or pre-
professional student, another designed for
the coon-skin coatéd youth who prefers
his flask and football game to text and
library, and a third forcthe quiet seeker
after learning—is the plan proposed by
Professor David Snedden, of Teachers’
College, Columbia University, to remedy
the “very bad state of health of the
American liberal college.”
A recent suggestion, advanced half
Se ee
humorously by Dean Max McConn, of
Lehigh University, that a new type of
“gentleman’s college” be created for stu-~
dents interested primarily in extra-cur-
ricular activities, was the basis of Pro-
fessor Snedden’s idea. Such a division,
he . said recently, would eliminate the
standardization which is at the root of
most college evils. —
“The American liberal college has be-
come an overstandardized institution,”
he asserted. “The liberal education of

Book Review
Footlights Across America, by Ken-
_ neth Macgowan. (Harcourt, Brace and
Co.)
A book treating of such a specialized
subject as the Little Theatre in America
hardly. seems an appropriate object of
our one review of the week. On the
- other hand, because the subject, in its
very limitations, is. of great interest to
many of us, it is deserving of some few
words. Furthermore, the subject ap-
pears more appropriate than it does on
first sight, when we read Macgowan’s
chapters on “The University Theatre”
and “Theatrical Pedagogy.” It is
astounding that the drama could : have
taken so large a hold upon the college
curriculums of America as this study
shows it to have done. The statistics
are startling, especially in view of the
fact that they do not treat of courses of
critical study of dramatic _ literature.
Credit and, degrees are given by many
universities of high standing for actual
creative work done in the line of writ-
ing, acting, or producing. As collegians,
then, we should be interested in~ the
movement, perhaps if only to’ question
why it has not struck us with such force
as it has, say; at Smith, Vassar, Yale,
and Harvard.
Mr. Macgowan starts off by showing
how the very nature of the machine age
has forced men to seek for self-expres-
sion of their own—‘“They have stopped
dropping a nickel in a slot. They have
stopped listening to the mechanical rec-
ord from New York. They are making
the record for themselves and out: of
themselves. . . . The local theatre is the
product of local necessity, and it has the
inevitable virtues of individuality. It
savors of the democracy of Thomas Jef-
ferson as surely as Broadway is a dra-
matization of federalism and centraliza-
tion.” The necessity is, of Brio the
result” of *the-so-ealled_“‘rebellionof.the.
road/’. After the war. the old theatrical
circuits simply did not pay producers,
and coMenies were either kept in New
York,.or substituted by such poor play-
ers, that even the theatre-starved prov-
inces would not put up with them. Two
economic factors in this change were the
expense of railroad travel, and the cheap
and widespread competition of the mov-
ies. Little theatres, of course, do not
have’ the first; problem, -and--they can
more easily overcome the second by the
purely loca] community interest which is
. inherent in their very being. ’
Other chapters of the book discuss,
first, the theories of these smaller the-
atres—whether they a r community
activities, primarily, and thus should give
the greatest opportunity -to the greatest
number of people; or whether it is their
business to Wevelop, from their amateur
talent, a small, trained acting body.
Problems of these theatres are often
financial; often they are brought about
_by the increasing professionalism which
success thrusts upon them. Mr. Mac-
gowan treats’ of these admirably, and
gives detailed information to the more
technical reader, of how. these problems
have been met, in recent years, by. some
of the best. of. these institutions.
One of the most asckatng of the
chapters is entitled “Bringing Drama to
the Farmers.” In it Macgowan tells. of
the efforts of some of the universities. to
stimulate an interest in creative writing
and production in the farm groups which
lie nearest to them. Some of the re-
sults have beeit astounding, and the work
itself is pictured as.-being very fascinat-
ing.

drama, and especially

Princeton Glee Club *
This week’s. calendar’ announces the
unprecedented attraction of a concert by
the Princeton Glee Club, scheduled for
Saturday evening. The program prom-
ises to be an interesting one of .varying
types and groups of vocal numbers.
There will also. be two piano selections,
one a solo rendeying, and the other a
duet for two pianos. @
High points’in the yocal program seem
to us to be the group of Negro songs;
the Coronation Song from Boris: Godou-
nov, and the Chorus of Peers, from
Jolanthe, as well as the concluding group
of Princeton songs which are familiar to
all of us.
Tickets for the. concert are on sale in
the Publication office and should be pur-
chased in advance of the performance.
Shabby Minds
President Hibben,.of Princeton,
recent talk, brought up the subject of
“flabby minds.” -“You worry about
flabby muscles and lack of skill in your
various: sports, and you take infinite
pains to overcome-these handicaps, and
yet you have little.or no realization of
the serious consequences of a flabby mind
or a lack of skill in mental endeavor
and accomplishment.”
The attention to.muscular development
is less emphatic ina woman's. college,
perhaps, but.a parallel might be made in
reference to’ personal appearance. Girls
would. rather not go to’a game, to a
dance or to the theatre, if they have
nothing striking to wear. They will toil
hours in getting ready a costume. To
paraphrase Presidéit Hibben, “Girls
| worry about shabby, appearancessand lack
fof skill-in entertaining, and take infinite
pains to overcome these~ handicaps, and
yet have little or no realization of the
serious consequences of a shabby mind or
a lack of skill in mental endeavor and
| accomplishment,”
It is. important ‘that. one appear. at/
one’s best continually. But it is also im-
portant that one be mentally alert; that
one have goals beyond the moment, goals
which tan be reached “through mental
training, through intellectual endeavor.
The momentary goals, the effects one
can achieve in entertaining, are interest-
ing, but have no_ stability—Wellesley

“Basse on Colleges
Fettered by old idéals and formulas,
the system of education in’ vogue today
in most schools and colleges of the
United States is inferior in efficiency
and benefits to the early kindergarten
training of -childreny- writes” Professor
John Erskine, author and musician, in
the January issue of The Red Book
Magazine. Modern colleges, he writes,
fail wholly to meet the new life of to-
day and to carry out “the training in
social observation and in responsibility
to our fellows begun in the: kindergar-
ten.”
Kindergartens, he declares, have
been enriched by .new, untraditional
and adaptable ideas, but our higher
despotic (paternalistic lines, allowing
students little opportunity to exercise
freedom of will or develop any sense
of responsibility. “In .our schools and
colleges we exercise a control over the
individual which Russia might envy,”
he asserts.
Children are happier on the average,
Professor Erskine contends, in the kin-
dergarten than later in their reduca-
tional careers. “As they grow up,’ he
adds, “their zest for learning dies or
is taken away from them.”
As a result of what he terms “out-of-
date, monastic tradition” our schools
and colleges, both those which are co-
educational and those which are not,
“are the last places where one can find
serious and competent instruction on
the problems of sex,” Professor Er-
skine writes. This system,—he—con-
tinues, fails utterly to help the present-
day youth in. the struggles and prob-
lems that involve future success and
happiness in marriage and social life.
“Forttunately, there begin to be many
institutions where marriage no
longer -considered-a desecration of the
nionastery and where even a youthful
bride and groom are thought deserving
fof an education.”"—N. Y. Times.

Athletes Equal Other
_ Groups in Scholarship
Members. of Columbia University’s
varsity and freshman teams ranked as
high gcholastically during the last aca-
demic session as their non-athletic class-
mates, according to a statistical report
made public recently by MHerbert® E.
Hawkes, dean of Columbia College.
The scholastic standing of students en-
gaged in athletic activities at Columbia
University; Dean Hawkes said, indicates
that participation in.athletics does not.
seriously -affect study. Several teams
ranked well above the general average
of the college as a whole.
In ‘the system of marking at Colum-
bia the approximate numerical value of
an A grade is fifteen points. Other
equivalents are eleven points for B grade,
eight for C, five for D and one for F.
The first three grades are satisfactory.
The two hundred and eighty-three
members of Columbia’s twelve varsity
teams, the report revealed, attained a
numerical average of 9.06, which ’
equivalent to a grade of C plus. The
same, average grade was made by one
hundred and eighty-four freshmen ath-

Dean Hawkes said the comparatively
low standing of the members of the

PROMPT DELIVERY SERVICE ——!:
What Is Success?’
Just what is ‘success? This
question bothering many people and right
now a definition of this matic word
would .set at rest many minds trying to
figure out the true meaning.
Dean Arkle Clark, ‘of the University
of Illinois, states that the success of col-
lege graduates. in a cynical world varies
directly with the grades made by the
graduates while they were
This statement throws a dark- shadow
across the path of many an undergraduate.
Many will never be able to make ‘excellent
grades or even better than the average.
In commenting on the anouncement,
the Chicago Daily News says: “There
is, however, one vital point that the dean
does not explain. What does he mean by
success ?
“Naturally income cannot be employed
properly as the yard stick. Alexander
Legge is just as successful as the $12,000
chairman of the natidnal farm board as
he was while serving as the Sci emer
president of. the International Harvester
Company. . John Timothy Stone is just | omen eneaem
as successful as was James A. Patten.
“The difference between successes was
brought out not long ago -by a survey
conducted at the University of Michigan,
where salaries of two selected groups of
alumni were. compared. “The men on one
group were Ptit Beta Kappas, the high
grade students; the others had been mem-
bers of the senior class honor society,
chosen for achievement in campus activi-
ties. The salaries of the class society
alumni were notably higher than were
those of the scholars, but the scholars
were engaged in writing and teaching and
research, while the activities men were
mostly in business.”
It is clear that a real definition of suc-
cess with ‘a suitable measuring stick to
use it by is still to be given the world.

Plans For Passion Play ~ f
Two articles of interest to” those
‘ who plan to’see the Passion Play, this
summer, have recently come to us.
They aré printed: below:
Tourists travelling through Bavaria
and arriving at Oberammergau, scene
of the world-famous Passion Play;
should not be in the least surprised
to see the entire n population. with
flowing locks and*stubble beards. Ac-
cording to an edict passed sometime
ago no man is permitted to have either
hair cut or shave during the two
months preceding the first perform-
ance, which takes place May eleventh.
Although a small detail in itself, this
regulation is expressive of the -spirit
which has made the play what it is—
the greatest spectacle of modern
times. .
In 1622 a terrible plague’ swept, over
this region with such violence: that
nothing could be done to stop it. The
survivors in Oberammergau gafhered
together in the church to ask for: di-
yvine...intercession;..the-.plague..stopped
immediately and never again visited
their city. .This miraculous relief so
‘inspired them that they made a vow
to. present. the Passion Play ‘every
decade—as-a--dévout tribute to God.
No. one ‘has yet ‘been able to de-
scribe the solemn beauty, the deep
and delicate feeling and powerful emo-
tional effect of this eyent.- -It.is built
on a three-hundred-year-old tradition
still untainted by the complexities of
modern life. That it has not in the
least lost its charm is evidenced. by
the great horde of people who are
drawn as if by a gigantic magnet to
witness this stirring pageant.
This. summer the Passion Play will
be given at least once a’ week from
May until September. . Already thou-
sands of travellers have made their
reservations, realizing that not again
until, 1940 will this opportunity pre-
sent—itsel frie

The Fellowship of Reconciliation
has undertaken, with the help of the
World’s Student Christian Federation,
to prepare and run a permanent Camp
in Obepammiergau from June 1 to the
end of September.
A roomy building has been found,
in very beautiful surroundings, eight
minutes’ walk fromthe village.
Rooms containing four to eight beds,
made by dividing up the great hall,
will be fitted up with camp beds, each
with—pillows,—blankets—and- sheets:
Since prices in the village are very
high, the main object of the Camp,
on the: practical side, is to make a
_visit-to the Passion Play possible for
many who, could not otherwise see it.
But: the Camp will, we hope, give
those who use it a real chance to real-
ize both the meaning and beauty of
the play in quiet surroundings, and to
enjoy the practical experience of inter-
national fellowship and _ friendliness.
Common excursions, discussions, sing-
ing, games will -be going on for those
who want them.
The Camp will accept two groups of
people, men and Womnién, each week.
There will be thirty-forty in each
group, who will stay three or four
days. The cost for three days will
probably be #1.4. Od., and for four
days £1.12. Od., including board, lodg-
ing and service.
Negotiations may result in yet
cheaper rates for Juné and the second
half of September. The International
Fellowship of Reconciliation’ will re-
serve tickets for campers, who should //

the future. which is.worth preserving
and improving will have to b¢ provided
by colleges differentiated i several
unlike types, each adapted/to the edu-
cational needs of one cise of learners.
The prospects that this/ will be done
during the next few /years’ are not
getting fairly fright. ;
“The American liberal college or the
corresponding ‘arts and seiences’ depart-
-ments of our State /universities are alto-
gether too narrow a funnel through
which to crowd the multitudes who,
wisely or unwifgely, are seeking access
. to our multiplfing professional schools.
And_ that. charge: bears ‘with _ especial,
weight against the highly formalized and
commonly /prescribed offerings of .the
first two years of such colleges.
“It myst certainly be true, for ex-|.
amplé, that the methods -of teaching,
the pressures for results brought to bear
upen Atudents and the critical testing
different as between situations where true
cultural’ interests are still the primary
concern of students and those in which
purposefully pre-professional motivations
should be accepted as controlling.”
Contrary to the recently expressed
opinion of President Lowell, of Harvard,
that undergraduates have no great desire
for a sound education, Professor Sned-
den believes there are still many serious
students who are being frustrated in
their pursuit of ledrning by the stand-
ardized curricula of American colleges.
Current Events Contes
The New York Times’. Annual Cur-
rent Events Contest has again been an-
nounced. This year it is to be held on
Wednesday of next week. As _ always
a number of colleges will compete, and
the winner in each will be given a prize
of fifty dollars. In addition te this, the
writer of the best paper submitted “by
any of the colleges will receive a” prize
of five hundred dollars. Additional in-
formation about the contest’ may be had
from Dr. Fenwick. Jt is suggested. that
a good means of “cramming” for the
exam. is to look through the back issues
of thé magazine Current History for the
past year.
Last. year THe News printed: an -edi-
torial which may serve now as word of
timely encouragement, rather than as it
formerly did, as a timely note of dis-
satisfaction with the Bryn Mawr turn-
out’ for this competition. . We quote
briefly: “Seven. courageous ' but lonely
students entered the New York Times’
Current Events, Contest last Saturday.
The. seats in Room D were spread with
blue. books and gray blotters. However,
only seven of them were made use of. . . .

contest: is either due to our lack of in-
terest’ in the world events, political,—so=
| cial,economical, or scientific, or to our
disbelief in contests. of this kind. (Or

Plans to organize a gliding’ club at
New York University were revealed re-
cently by university authorities, who an-
nounced that a meeting for this purpose
would be held later at the Washington
‘Square centre of the university.
Percy Warner, one of the country’s
leading college pilots, who will pre-
side at the meeting, said:
“We want»every qnan and=-woman in-
terested in aviation, particularly gliding
of course, to be on hand at this meeting,
so. that we can. get organized at. once.
The University of Michigan is taking
the lead in the Mid-West in this compar- |,
atively new sport and we at New York
University are prepared to show the way
_ to the colleges in the. East.
“Gliding is a great sport. It is sur-
prisingly inexpensive and amazingly safe.
In all the history of gliding, as distinct
from soaring, there have been virtually
no serious accidents, even in Germany,
where thousands skim over the earth in
these motorless planes.”
It is hoped that the New York Uni-
versity gliding club will have progressed
far enough by April 26. and 27 to par-
«ticipate in the New York Gliding Car-
nival under the auspices of the National
Glider Association at the Old Belleclaire
Country Club, Bayside, L. I. A national
carnival is to be conducted in the metro-
politan area next fall. ~

tional Glider Association, Detroit, re-

She’s an OKMNX Girl
In an attempt to throw light upon
“blind -dates,” Rochester eds are using
_a_one-letter-.code—to—give—their friends+ i
the “low-down”. on campus co-eds. The}
mercenary lady is branded’ with an M,
the pippin gets a P, and the gossip re-
ceives a T since she tells, A K means
kisses, L, liberal and V, vivacious.
Less desirable qualities in prospective
dates are X for expensive, R for rough
(unless you like ’em rough), W for
washout and N for knock-kneed. A
“heavy® date would get an O for ox
while a member of the great middle class
receives an A meaning average. One
who is properly “stacked-up” is given an
F denoting good form.
The most intriguing quality listed -is
Y or the unknown quantity which might
better be labeled G- in honor of Garbo
who is the patron saint of all Y girls.
This scheme has labor saving possi-
bilities. A PKLFY girl is quickly identi-
fied as a pippin, liberal with her kisses,
built like the traditional brick smokehouse
with gobs of it meaning IT.
But this grade system will fail for the
same reason-that most other grade sys-
tems fail, because opinions differ. Every

six. months than.in any previous year .in

sons, said recently at St.. John’s Prot-
estant Episcopal Church on “Why Boys
and Girls) Leave Home.”
The greater number of these’ run-
aways “have been girls,
said,
Captain Ayers
in marked contrast to the usual
missing ...persons’ statistics. | Captain
Ayers: laid the-chief blame for all types
of juvenile disappearances to “unadjusted
home conditions,” which, he declared,
“stand out in New York.”
The twenty-five thousand five hun-
dred and fifty-two cases. of missing per-
sons or allied cases reported last year to
his bureau included about three thousand
six hundréd boys who had dropped out
of sight, and a little more than two. thou-
sand five hundred girls.
Ninety-eight per cent. are fotind again,
he said, of whong twenty per cent. are
traced by: the police. .
The average runaway boy causes the
bureau little concern, Captain Ayers said,
explaining that the type of boy who has
courage enough to run away from home,
usually because of the wanderlust crave
or the desire to see beyond far horizons,
is “nine times out of ten an awfully
worth-while chap with “backbone.”
“I have yet to learn of a case of a
