, MISS PARK:



Continued from Page One
through very paper which I could find,
I inquired from, Miss Thomas, and I
asked everyone who knew about ‘the’

_.@arlier perjod of College history. No

one was/able to run down any such
statement, and I do not believe, that

four such restrictions ever existed. I
"am sure of only one regulation which

the Trustees felt must be included, and
that is that all changes in Self-Govern-
ment ruling must be reported to them,
not for action, but for information. The
reason for this is plain; the students. of
the college are not a corporate body;
they eannot be “sued* as individuals.
‘The individuals in Bryn Mawr College
who are open to legal attack are the
Directors and the President. If the
Directors are to be legally responsible
for any actions taken by the students,
they must, at leagt, know what these
actions are. The College has already
been sued for actions of the Self-Gov-
ernment Association; the Directors and

‘the President (not myself) have gone
' through alfthe difficulties of such dis-

agreeable affairs. However, although
it has been the custom for all changes
made by the Self-Government Associ-
ation to be read by the President of
the College. to the Board of Directors,
there has never been a question of al-

tering a word of these new regulations;.

often the members of the Board have
not approved of _ these
changes, but their policy of non- inter-
ference has always held good. For ex-
aniple, when the matter of smoking
came up, the Board of Directors did
not: approve of it. But .when they
found that the students were firm in
their desire to have the regulation in-
serted, they took no action whatever.
“Now, the President and the Dean

‘have the same relation to the Associa-

tion. Both. of us are much concerned
with the students; we know. many of
you pretty well; we _know_ something
‘about all of you. The Dean has al-
ways retained a purely consultive re-
lation with the. Association. The
President,-as well as having this con-
sultative -relation, also has a legal one.
When ‘the Self-Government Associa-
tion wishes to recommend. the suspen-
sion or expulsion of a student, it is
not the President of the Association,
but the President of the College who
must write the letter excluding the

student, -and-on her head will! later fall:

all responsibility for that expulsion, I
have tried to think out the clearest
illustration of what-I believe to be the
relation between
trolled by you, and: that controlled by
me. The best I can think of/ is, the
relation between the department of a
government relating to foreign affairs,
and that relating to domestic affairs.
As far as.I know, these are kept
apart in all governments; they have
separate bureaus and administrations.
Their authority is in separate fields,
and, in a sense; ‘they“are not concerned
with each other. There is, however, a
constant interrelation of subject mat-
ter.
various Epronean. natigns- that. .the!>.
subjects, becoming citizens of the
United States; retain the obligation, of
military service. That immediately
affects not only the foreign but also
the domestic® policy of the United
States. If we.should have a war with
Italy, and if we should have citizens
born in Italy, the question of which
army they should serve would im-
mediately arise. Questions concerning
tariffs, or immigrant quotas,’ too,
though they are domestic, concern the
foreign relations of the United States.
Therefore, those in control of both di-
visions of the government must have
many formal and informal conferences
on these subjects. The ‘situation is
very much the same in relation to what
you control, and what I control. I
control the foreign relations of the
College, the choice of the faculty, the
relations with the schools, and the
more general relations with the com-
munity and the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. You control, on the
other hand, the conduct of the stu-
dents as members of the College. Be-
tween those fields there is interrelation.
If you look at the first regulations of
the Self-Government Association, you
will find that the conservative conven-

trolled the chaperone regulations of
the. College at that time. _What-to~ do

there is often criticism of these mat-

ters. Therefore, there has always Been
necesary the freest consultation be-
tween the Self-Government Board and
the President of the College. We have
always. been_ perfectly. frank. Ihave
never withheld any information that I
thought would be of importance to the
Board, and F have added my own
judgment on any matter where it
would seém to be wise or advantageous
for the Board to know it. We have
discussed at length and in every detail
matters which have come up, some-
times through me and _ sometimes
through them, which I thought affected
one or the other of us. Now, itis
necessary that we should have ‘such
consultation, and it is, I think, ob-
vious that our discussions, frank as
they..are, must often be confidential.
I have, for exeample, often told the
Self-Government Boards of matters
coming up from. the Self-Government
Boards of the past, of which they have,
perhaps, never heard. * Often they are
matters concerning individual students
which seem to me should well be ig-
nored, forgotten, or, better still, not
known by the general student body.
Where it would seem ‘necessary. that
you-should all’ know of any, one mat-
ter, I have never hesitated to call you

uation,
speaking now as if they were*far more
formal than they really are, I represent
a kind of continuity. The Boards/come
and go; there is hardly ever a student
on the Board for more than’ two or
three years. I go on foréver, and
therefore, I can say to the Board, ‘This
is the measure that’has been previously
used or recommended to me. It has
worked well in the past; I should sug-
gest that you use it now.’ I am trying,
as. you see, to tell you the worst of
what the President of Bryn Mawr—
and I think that I can also speak’ for
the Dean—has ever. done in her rela-
tiohs.to the Board; that worst I shall
continue-to do nt

“Now it is/obvious that, to make our
consultation useful, two things
necessary, one on your. side, and: one
on mines On your side, ‘the govern-
ment must be a completely genuine
‘government, entirely ‘in your own
handé; it cannot be a government
which is wire-pulled behind the scenes,
by me.or by someone else. To make
a discussion valuable, it must be. be-
tween peers;.you-must have coniplete
authority in your field. On the other
hand, itis my responsibility that the
College must be a going*concern. I
must see to it that -parents like your
parents are willing and anxious to send
their daughters to Bryn Mawr in the

we shall have the kind of students that
we want. I must sé to it that there is,
on the whole, a friendly and non-criti-
cal atmosphere ,towards Bryn Mawr.

momentum. It cannot be constantly
intefered with ‘by superficialities, mis-
understandings, misapprehensions; it is

for your gake as well as that of the

Bryn Mawr does; you must have a
self-respect in being students at Bryn
Mawr, or else the foundations of your
happiness and your réspéct for your-
selves will be definitely lessened.”

Miss Bark went on to cite various |
instances in which, although she had
different from the decisions of the Self-
Government Board, yet she had not
hesitatedeto put them into form. She
also cited an example of her policy of
non-interference in the capacity of an
official of the College. “I thoroughly
disapprove of the present ‘arrangements
for quiet in the halls; they seem to me
entirely-inefficient. It is very difficult
for me to understand why, on the one
hand, the students often allow the halls
to be like bedlam, and, on the other,
write home to say that the halls are so
noisy that no-one-can sleep! I have
riever, however, ¢ontemplated taking
over this matter or insisting, in.any
way, upon a change. My own carry-

Miss Park ended her speech by say-
ing that she had not based her re-
marks upon personal opinions or views,
“which are singularly unfruitful in dis-
cussion.” Rather, she had presented
“authoritative information, which is
most fruitful in action.”

knowledge, special subjects as those men-

Indian Women’s University they have
introduced these fundamental changes: -In
the first place, the Indian languages are
used as ‘the media of instruction. In

hygiene have been- introduced as com-
pulsory, and the ‘fine arts have been added
to the curriculum. Furthermore, the
strict mathematical requirements, which
were found a major obstacle in the prog-
ress of women’s education in India, were
made more :lenient. Thus was _ started
the first university for. women in India.
, But the development of this ‘university
was very slow. -An unconscious begin-
ning was ‘made thirty-three years ago
when, said Dr. Karve, he and his wife
started’ a Widows’ Home with the idea
of maintaining and educating poor prom-
ising young widows of. certain éastes
which forbade them from marrying again.
Unable to remarry, they were forced
to pass their lives without education or
interest in life. The .Widows’ Home
endéavored to create an interest for them
and began this work in two ways: by
efforts to introduce remarriage, which
then met with great obstruction from so-
ciety, and by educating them to become
teachers, mid-wives, and nurses~and thus
useful to themselves and to society. The
