Fellowship Chapel | !

The humdrum of routine tends to obscure much that is significant

in daily work and attitudes.

We are fully cofscious of the burden of

quizzes and reports, while we preceive only infrequently the ideals of

scholarship embedded in our College organization.

It is of great im-

portance that these ideals, which are the most fundamental elements of
our academic life, should ‘find clear formulation and impressive recogni-

tion at some time during the year.

The Fellowship Chapel on_ Friday

was such an occasion. The broader implications of the college regime
were laid bare, and we saw more fully the relation of undergraduate and
graduate work to the total scheme of education.

C. Tinea, 31, Receives
Scholarship to Geneva



A scholarship for. summer study in
Geneva from July ‘6 to September 1
has been awarded-to Miss Caroline
Thompson, ’31: “As a member of the
Students’ International Union she will
be in the Seminar group of Senor de
Madariaga as well as the General
School of International Studies. Miss
Thompson received the scholarship
after attending a conference of the Stu-
International Union in New
York in“February, when eleven other
scholarship students were also selected.

berger, University of Pennsylvania, and

A. Lake, ’30, Is 7th to
Win Fellowship in Rome



A Fellowship in Classical Studies at
the American Academy in Rome has
been awarded to Agnes Kirsopp Lake,
1930. The Fellowship provides for
study and residence at the Academy in
Rome and for travel in classical coun-
tries over a period of two years. It
carries with it a stipend of $1750 a
year. The competitors, who come
from the graduate schools of various
American universities, are required to
submit credentials and original papers
to a jury of nine classical scholars.
The other two successful competitors
this year are Frank E. Brown, of Yale,
and Alfred Geltharp, Jr., of Princeton.

Bryn Mawr can look with some
pride on the recent success of its stu-
dents in the competition for the fellow-
ships in the classical schools of Rome
and Athens. The Roman fellowship
was held by Lillian Starr in 1926-27
and by Irene Rosenzweig in 1928-30,
both of them holders of the M. A.
degree from Bryn Mawr.
in Athens were held by Dorothy Burr
(1923), in 1924-25, by Agnes Newhall
and Mary Zelia Pease (both 1927), in
1928-29, and by Lucy Shoe (1927) in
1929-30.

Miss Lake capsived her A.B. degree
magna cum laude with honors in Latin
in 1930: During her senior year she
held the Hinchman scholarship. She
is at present graduate scholar in Bib-
lical Literature, and is a candidate for
the M. A. degree.

Choir and Organ Show

, Dignity in Bach Program

The music of Bach is peculiarly fitted
for interpretation by organ and choir,
and the program of the ynusical service
on Sunday, March~22, ranging as it did
from the sonorous organ arrangement
from the St. Matthew Passion to the
lyrical chorale, Now All the Woods Are
Sleeping, gave a most satisfying glimpse
of the simpler beauties of this composer’s
art.
The singing was careful but unaffected
—a trifle colorless in the chorales, but
having a charming buoyancy in the uni-
son chorises. THe tonal variations of
the organ found full play in the chorale.
prelude, Wachet Auf, Ruft Uns Die
Stimme, and the Toccata was a magnifi-
cent example of, the emotional in Bach’s
music.
The service preserved throughout a
spirit and a dignity in execution that was
a tribute to the composer.
