(Especially Contributed by Rhys
Carpenter)

The, Bacchae of Euripides gave
Mme. Eva Sikelianos full opportunity
to combine color, movement, and song
into one of those serenely beautiful
effects which have made her Delphic
festivals a pilgrim-spot in reeent
years. Her sense for color combina-
tion is particularly happy, though the
lurid green of the American spring
was somewhat too intense a_back-
Quite
unforgettable was the brilliant oppo-
sition of the stronger colors in the cos-
tumes of the returning revellers on
one side of the scene against the softer
hues of the less robust chorus on the
other, while the frenzied purple fig-
ure of Agave waved the bodiless head
of the son whom she had slain. The
weather was propitious, except that
Zeus, too freely mentioned during the
play, could not refrain from acknowl-
edging the reference by gently«sprink-
ling the close of the second perform-
ance.

Evelyn Thompson, 1935, as the de-
mented, then suddenly sobered and
wretched Agave, took. the honors in
acting, as Gertrude Leighton, 1938,
with her messenger’s story of the
death of Pentheus, took the. honors for
diction. The otherwise forebearing
audience, which largely filled the semi-
circular grandstand beneath the Old
Wives’ Tale Hollow, showed its agree-
ment on the excellence of these two

Winner of Fellowship
Has Average of 91.9



Cordial Relations With Faculty
Advantage of Small College
Says Math Major



WILL STUDY CHEMISTRY

Elizabeth Monroe, winner of the
European Fellowship for 1935-36, has
had a consistently high average
throughout her college career. In her
junior year she divided the Charles
S. Hinchman Memorial Scholarship,
awarded to the student doing the best
work in her major subject, with
Vung-Yuin Ting. Her major is math-
ematics, but she plans to study chem-
istry next year, “if she graduates,”
at Newnham College, Cambridge. Al-
though her plans for the future are
very vague, she said that she would
prefer research work to teaching.

Miss Monroe has been to three
schools altogether, and has never skip-
ped a grade. She went for two years
to kindergarten at the Hathaway-
Brown School in Cleveland. She spent
ten years at the Rye School and fin-
ished’ with two years at Concord Acad-
emy. She seems to have developed
early the habit of winning honors,
since she won two cups at Rye and a
prize at Concord. In 1928 Miss Mon-
roe was awarded the Judson cup for
school service, and she won the Craw-
ford cup at Rye a year later for the
“highest standards in school activi-
ties.” She won one of the scholarship
prizes at Concord, and was given a
book called Physical Optics. Only
now after four years of college work
in scientific fields can she begin to
understand the book!

Miss Monroe’s tastes are _ broad.
When she was fourteen, she determin-
ed on a scientific career, and told her
family that she was going to study
electrical engineering at M. I. T. This
was probably because she had just
made a telegraphic receiving set out
of odd bits of wire and steel. Her
family said nothing, but she later de-
cided to come to Bryn Mawr instead.
In school, which, contrary to the habit
of most children, she always liked, she
enjoyed English very much. French
was perhaps her hardest subject,
though she did finally master it. She
was, however, really poor in:penman-
ship, and received the grade x in it.
At college she has had three years
of chemistry and mathematics, two
courses in physics, and two in English
(besides the required courses). Geol-
ogy, more particularly crystallography
and mineralogy, and logic have also
interested her.

Most of the pitfalls of college life
have been avoided by Miss Monroe.
She passed her orals the first time.
In her junior year, however, she did
fail a quiz in her major subject so
badly that the professor kindly never
marked it. She was the only under-



graduate to study with Dr. Noether, |
d did honors work with her in the

field of modern algebra. 4

Trends in Education



Tendency to Higher Standards
In Schools, Colleges Praised
By Yale President



BRYN MAWR A PIONEER



Goodhart,. June 5. — At the Com-
mencement exercises President Angell,
of Yale University, discussing certain
of the Recent Developments in Col-
legiate Education, spoke in:part as
follows:

At the exercises inaugurating the
first President. of this institution, an
eminent Yale man, then. President of
Johns Hopkins University, delivered
an address which was_ subsequently
published under the caption, ‘Address
at the Opening of Bryn Mawr College
for Ladies.’ Few phrases could so
succinctly indicate the amount of
water which has gone over the educa-
tional dam in the fifty years inter-
vening between that occasion and this.

“Bryn Mawr, as is well recognized,
did two daring things at the outset.
In the first place, she tried to set
her standards for entrance and for
graduation as high as any collegiate
institution in the country, declining to
recognize any differential because she
was dealing with girls. And, in the
second place, she opened a division of
graduate studies leading to the higher
degrees, and to foster this program,
she furnished .a number of scholar-
ships and fellowships to promising
students. In both of these measures
she. was frankly influenced by the ex-
ample of her slightly older neighbor,
tthe Johns Hopkins University, where
President Gilman and many members
of his faculty were generous of aid
and advice. She could hardly have
had a more inspiring example. More-
over, from the’ ver# beginning, tle
administration of the College recog-
nized the dependence of its success
upon the securing of absolutely_first
raté-ability in its faculty.. A list of
men and women who have taught at
Bryn Mawr contains an extraordinar-
ily high percentage of the ranking
scholars of their time in the country.”

President Angell then went on to
comment upon a number of changes
Which have in recent years occurred
in American institutions of higher
education. _He’ mentioned the voca-
tional colleges training men for tech-
nical pursuits of various kinds, par-
ticularly in the several fields of engi-
neering, and also referred to the
schools affording women expert train-
ing as librarian, nurses, secretaries,
social workers, teachers of physical
education, and the science and art
of the various sub-divisions of home
economics.

He then described the objectives of
the so-called progressive colleges with
their highly individualistic methods,
their extreme emphasis on the per-
sonalityrof the individual student, and
their disregard of the conventional ob-
jectives and methods of both the lib-
eral and the vocational colleges. At-
tention was drawn to the wide impor-
tation into American colleges in recent
years of modified forms of the Eng-
lish tutorial procedure and with it
the attempt to develop honors resem-
bling somewhat the similar procedure

Vung-Yuin Ting Wins
Alternate Fellowship



Holder of Eastman and Chinese
Scholarships, Chemistry Major,
Averages 91.87



PLANS MEDICAL CAREER



Vung-Yuin Ting is the alternate
fellow for 1935. She comes all the
way from Shanghai, China, where she
was born and brought up. When she
was seventeen, she set out alone to
cross the Pacific Ocean and the Amer-
ican Continent. Since she arrived on
the Eastern Coast in the summer, she
went to a girls’ camp in Andover, Mas-
sachusetts, to learn the ways of Amer:
ican girls. . Having perfected herself
in the two arts of playing their
games and of washing dishes as they
did, she came down to Pennsylvania
and entered the Shipley School for a
year. In 1932 she became a member
of the freshman class at Bryn Mawr,
and at once she distinguished herself
by her brilliant scholarship. At the
end of her third year she received the
Maria L. Eastman Brooke Hall Mem-
orial Award for the student holding
the highest rank in the junior class,
and she divided with Elizabeth Monroe.
the Hinchmay Scholarship given for
the most outstanding work in
major subject. But, after all her
travels and achievements, she has not
changed the purpose which she has
held since she was a little girl; she
means to be a doctor.

The medical_profession is a tradi-
tion in Miss Ting’s family; it was in-
evitable that she should. choose the
same calling. Accordingly, by the
time she was nine years old, she had
definitely resolved to become a physi-
cian. Her aunt, the Director of the
Woman’s Hospital in Tien-Tsien, was
well acquainted with the colleges of
America, and she recommended Bryn
Mawr to Vung-Yuin not only for the
_|intellectual instruction offered, but
also for its training in fine living. For
her more specialized study in medical
school, Miss Ting chose the Univer-
sity of Michigan, and now she has
won a scholarship to be held there
for the next four years. When she
has at last gained the degree of Doc-
tor of Medicine, she will return to
China to assist her aunt in the Tien-
Tsien hospital. Her work will be that
of a general practitioner in the dis-
eases of women and children. In
China there is not so much need for
doctors trained in highly specialized
lines as for men and women who can
help all sickness wherever they meet
it. The great population there has
more than its share of illnesses and

less than its share of provisions
against illness. While the United
States has one hospital for every

18,000 people, vast China has. only
one for every 800,000. Miss Ting will
not merely be following the profes-
sion she loves most when she returns
to her home as a full-fledged physi-
cian; she will be helping in a vitally
L“ygecessary work.

‘Ave!

To see the Alumnae from different locations, different occupations, and],

different generations returning each year to the campus to renew old asso-
ciations and to make new ones is one of the: most interesting experiences of

the undergraduates.

During the regular college term we hear about the

activities of the alumnae only from indirect sources and we seldom have, an
opportunity to understand their point of view. But with the arrival of
Commencement we gladly turn over our rooms, our halls, and our classrooms

to their former possessors.

It is a source of regret to many undergraduates and to many alumnae

that the contact between the two groups is not greater.

We hear frequently

from alumnae the remark that they wish they were more in touch with the

life and work of the students, and we ourselves often declare that we wish

/ the activities of the alumnae did not seem so dark and mysterious to. us.

. The appointment of a committee especially for ‘the purpose of eliminating

the lack of association between the students and the alumnae makes us feel
certain that thisdifficulty will soon be ended. |

Now that the Deanery has become the alumnae center on the campus

we hope that we shall see a great deal more of the Alumnae at all seasons

of the year and on all occasions of interest.

We welcome them back for

their formal reunions in June and extend them the invitation to return for
many informal ones at other times during the year.

concerned with its own future, as is shown by the manifold activities con-

nected with the Million Dollar Drive.

The Alumnae, while eagerly recount-

for-events which lie ahead. The Class of 1935 is perhaps most greatly torn
between past and future, preoccupied as its members are with thoughts of |.
the last four years and plans for the coming ones.

The departure of any class from the college leaves a void which always

seems impossible to fill.

The Undergraduate Association, led by the

The News and Lantern boards have not only wit-

HOPKINSON, AT THE GYM,



+y It was the last day of lectures, and

Taylor bell rang fifteen minutes early
so that all the undergraduates could
be present at the farewell singing of
the Seniors. Students and professors

swarmed about .Taylor' steps, tramp-

ling upon the black-gowned young
ladies that they had come to hear. It
seems that everyone wanted to be able
to hear Betty Lord make her good-
bye speech to Taylor.

“Ah—ze vorld she is 7. too much

Vat never? Very vell den,—dis time

. ladies?
Nize babies!”

For a moment we were deafened by
applause, and the next minute we no-
ticed with amazement that the under-
graduates in a body had been trans-
ported with lightning-like speed to
Dalton. There they awaited in sup-
pressed excitement the line of Seniors
which was slowly winding its dign-
fied way along the sidewalk to their
celebrated “Wheré, oh where?” tune.
After they had arrived safely and
sung to a long list of scientific faculty
and biological animal friends, Miss
Jean Porter stepped from their. midst,
and delivered the following speech:

“Before I came to Bryn Mawr, I
failed my physics College Board. I
had to come down early, before the
other Freshmen did, to take it over
with a lot of people I had never seen
before,—and never saw again.

“Hoping that the requirements for
the A.B. degree would be changed, I
put off ever foming inside Dalton Hall
until my Junior year.

“T can remember, as ‘a Freshman,
waving goodbye to my friends on Mon-
days at two when they set out to cut
up things and came back at four with
souvenirs like fishes’ eyes.

“IT can remember, as a Sophomore,
feeling rather blindly sorry for my
room-mate who had decided to major
in chemistry. I realized how much
happier I was not knqwing,—or rath-|
er, not trying to know,—agny science.

i Ne és

“And with. this: maxim in my brain,

of four flights to the geology depart-
ment’s quarters in Dalton. Past, peo-
ple with white coats who held huge
sealpels, past the choking fumes of the
more experimentative chemists, I
reached at last the room where I was
to spend many weary hours, many
painful days.

“But the arduous climbsto the fourth
floor of Dalton I found was as nothing
compared with: the conquest of Mt.
Misery,—well-named,—and at the rec-
ollection of whieh every first year
geologist heaves a sorry sigh. And
yet the climb to the topmost peak of
Mt.- Misery cannot be compared for
suffering with the climb to the top
floor of the: hotel in Lehighton, Penn-
sylvania.

“Outstanding in the year’s. difficult
activities are: the hardships of this
week-end field trip—even Sallie Jones
was tired at the end of our first day.
And my chief recollections are those,
not of the ages of the earth or of the
importance of fossils, but rather of
those days in.a bus, of the persever-
ance of Dr. Dryden, of my appear-
ance, alas, in the regalia of a coal
miner,—the boots, the heavy coat, the
cap with its guiding light. I remem-
ber looking at myself in a mirror and
seeing my face streaked with the coal
from the mines, darkened with the
dust of the ages. Science was not be-
coming.,to me.

“And I said then, as‘I say now, the
phrase formulated, for me by that
glance in the mirror, “Science is not
suited to us all!’”

From Dalton, the crowd hurried-to
the gymnasium, and here Joan Hop-
kinson spoke.

“T come here today with two griev-
ances—First, I was told that the rea-
son I was to speak was because I was
not athletic—I should like to refute
that belief because I took tennis for
two years, and to my mind that is
enough qualification for’ athleticism.
Moreover, I don’t want to speak, I
have no notes, and my mind is not on
my subject because I have just gone
through the emotion of having my last
class. However, my second grievance
is that I am told that this occasion
should be humorous.’ I have inspected
this gym both inside and out and I
really don’t see anything funny about
it. . Of course, I did watch from
the bnkoony the other night a Greek
play rehearsal.

“My only advice to all of you who

do what I have done in the last four
years. For my method I found a very
stirring analogy in history. It may
be far-fetched, but I am sure you will
see its applicability. As perhaps you
may recall, the Maccabees were a
tribe of Hebrews living in Judea in
170 B. C. Now the Seleucid Empire
was trying to hellenize the Maccabees;
they forced them to speak Greek, and
to use Greek customs. ;, Very reason-
ably, the Maccabees soon revolted. In
166 B. C. seven Maccabean brethren
became seven martyrs to the cause,
and a glorious revolt ensued. Now
the reason they revolted, the last
straw, was because the Seleucids had
just built a Gymnasium for Women
in Jerusalem. No Maccabean could
stand the thought of their women hav-
ing to swing along the bars or put on
little gray bathing suits and dive into
the pool. Therefore they revolted very
naturally.

“Well I am no Maccabean, and I
couldn’t make myself a martyr, so I
decided that my plan of action would
be to boycott the gym—or simply to

I mentioned, I played tennis all Au-

thought I really shouldn’t go into the
pool at all. That lasted till: April.
In the Spring I played tennis.

for I really don’t like the gym; I never

At the library Barbara Lewis spoke.

“TI think it was shortly after Lan-
tern Night of Freshman year that-my
stack and reserve room privileges were
indefinitely suspended. I am not one
to sign B. L. 8 when asked not to,—
better far to linger in the shade of
the water cooler and pounce on the
tea wagon of books as it passes by.
The reserve room plan js obviously
impractical (to-study on a catp-stool
by day and hammock by night), and
as my idea has always been to comply
with all regulations in so far as they
seem practical, I have not indulged in
the pleasures afforded by that place.

“Recently, I took a desk in the read-
ing room just to see what it was like,
and I managed to stick it out for a
whole day. In this place of peace and
quiet, have you ever noticed the male
voice at the foot of the stairs that
reverberates among the rafters like
Arabian mouettes? Or the neighbor
whose manicuring process sounds like
the sawing of redwoods?

“Once in the winter time I went into
the library, and I thought myself
under the fire of the big bertha. There
were countless minor distractions such
as the Whispering Corridor of. Hop-
kinson, Lord, Morse, and Meirs (who
always seems to be involved in settling
little differences of opinion with her
friends).

“Study in the lib i is hot suited to all
of us. I have been so taken up with
athletics that I haven’t had much time
to use it. Besidés, I have most of
the books in my room, anyway.

“Although the practical effects of
the four year suspension of privileges
have not been so tremendous, men will
fight for a principle. I have fought,
but I have not won, and I shall die
with the name of Terrien “graven on
my heart like Calais!”

Swarthmore Beaten
By Bryn Mawr Team



Varsity Defeated by Faculty|’
In Closely Fought Matches
By Score of 3-2





The team
seemed to have recovered from its
defeat of the week before by Vassar
and showed. some really. excellent
playing. Betty, Faeth defeated her
opponent, Lapham, in two. straight
sets with the: close scores of 6-4 and
9-7. Faeth’s excellent game seeme
a little slower than usual in this
match, but she won by her ‘steady
Betty
Perry lost her match to Brooks—
6-3 and 6-2. Perry played a fast
and flashing game, but she could not
hold gut against. the consistent
pounding of her .opponent.

Varsity won both of the doubles
matches in spite of the fact that the
team seemed rather tired. Faeth
and Perry defeated Lapham and
Brooks with the closely matched
scores of 7-5 and 6-4. Little and
Jackson, after losing the first set
2-6, finally defeated their opponents,
Sonneborn and Harvey, in the next
two sets with the scores of 8-6 and
7-5, but only with difficulty, as the
scores show.

SUMMARY
* (Singles)

Faeth vs. Lapham. Won by Bryn
Mawr: 6-4, 9-7.

Perry vs. Brooks. Won by Swarth-
more: 6-3, 6-2.

Jackson vs. Sonneborn.

6-4.

Little and Jackson vs. .Sonneborn
and Harvey. Won by Bryn Mawr:
2-6, 8-6, 7-5.

May 16 — The Faculty-Varsity
Match has always been the best at-
tended game of the year. It is hard
to think that these men whom we
saw rushing strenuously about the
courts are the’ same dignified and
sedate gentlemen who point out to us
the deeper mysteries of the anatomy
of the cat or the intricacies of calcu-
lus or even show us the hidden beau-
ties of Latin literature... But they
are’ the same people and showed
themselves to be:as capable on the
courts as we have known them to
be on the lecture platform, for they
defeated_the Varsity by—a_score_of
3-2.

Dr. Blanchard, after losing the
first set to Betty Faeth 6-1, soon
realized that he had a true mistress
of the game against him and settled
down to a steady game, taking the
next two sets with the scores of 8-6
Dr. Hedlund and Betty
Perry played a close match, but Dr.
Hedlund finally came out on top,
with the scores 6-4, 4-6, 6-4. Like
his colleague, Mr. Carlson lost the
first set, 5-7, in his match with

perhaps that when it comes to endur-
ance “the female of the species is
more deadly than the male.”



Haverford Ties Varsity Team

May 18.—The annual game with
Haverford has always been a well-
attended match. This year the final
result of the singles matches was
a tie—2-2. Faeth lost the first set,

Vung-Yuin Ting Wins
Alternate Fellowship



- Continued from Page One |

Before she came to America, she
studied English in school and attained
such a degree of proficiency that here
she required very little practice to
speak like a riative-born New Eng-
lander. Yet with all her instruction
about the western hemisphere, she
held many peculiar beliefs concerning
the ways and characters of its people,
for she derived her most vivid ideas
from the*American movies shown in
Shanghai. She cannot.now remeniber
any one of her former misconceptions,
but she says that she wase in some-
what the same state of mind as a cer-
tain Chinesé student who was guiding
a female American tourist about
Shanghai. . The inquisitive lady asked
him if it w sue, as she had heard,
that the Chifi®§e made a custom of
eating rats. He replied with another
question: “But in’ your country, do
you not eat dogs, and what is worse,
eat them hot?”

After Miss Ting had lived in the
United States for a'time, she not only
learned about the people around her,
but she was forced to learn more about
her own land as well. *The Chinese
as a whole are not much interested
in. politics, and she was no exception.
Moreover, she knew little of the enor-
mous country except the place’ where
she had lived all her life. In Ameri-
ca, however, she was expected to know
in detail the crops, industries, princi-
ple cities, climates and topography of
each region whether near to Shanghai,
or hundreds of miles away. She was
also expected to understand the for-

feign and domestic policies of her gov-

ernment so that she could explain
them to ignorant Americans. In or-
der to live yp to expectations, she set
about to learn all these things and
she did.

At once her interest in national and
international affairs was called into
practical use. Churches and schools
in and around Philadelphia requested
her to lecture on Oriental education,
government, or geography. During the
summer she attended camps where
student conferences were held. Two
summers ago, she acted as secretary
to the Chinese delegation in the Insti-
tute of ‘Pacific. Relations when it met
at Banff. Fortunately her duties were
not too arduous to keep her from hav-
ing a glorious time. Here at Bryn
Mawr she has joined the Chinese Stu-
dents’ Club of Philadelphia, and this
year she has the great honor to be
President of the Chinese Students of
America.

In addition to her trip to Banff, she
has traveled in the United States more
widely than many who have lived here
all their lives. Shé‘knows the prim
New England country around Boston;
she has been west to Detroit, and Chi-
cago, where she visited the World’s
Fair; and still farther west to New
Mexico and the Grand Canyon. There
she first saw the American Indian
and discovered all that she could
about his history and his present life.
Now that she is so well acquainted
with the different sections of this land,
it seems strange to her that when she
first arrived, she could not distinguish
the speech of one region from that of
another. In spite of her excellent
knowledge of English, she knew noth-
ing of the distinctions within the lan-
guage; a Southerner and a Yankee
sounded alike to her. It was not long,
however, before she corrected this
error of hers.

Considering this business-like way
in which she has conducted her af-
fdirs through her years here, it does
not seem possible that her teachers in
China disapproved of Miss Ting’s
coming to a foreign country when she
was so young. Although she had al-
ways received grades averaging ‘over
90 in either her Chinese or her Eng-
lish courses; although she had won a
Chinese essay prize, one of the very
few awards offered in her school, the
authorities were afraid to let her go
so soon, because she was only seven-
teen. Notwithstanding their opposi-
tion, she crossed the ocean and came
to Shipley School. Not once did she
give her former teachers cause to say
that their fears were justified: Her

‘lonly complaint js that she undertook

too much business,and handled it too
well; for since she has- been in col-
lege, she has not had time to devote
to her interest in art. Chinese mu-
sic she understands; but she has lost
track of our music. She has not even

ben able to join the Glee Club as she









resolved to do it, and then Ras never
got around to it. But if she has not
indulged in this form of amusement .
she has tried all others, and between
winning prizes, studying science, and
attending conferences, she has squeez-
ed in a merry life as well as a wise
one.

her spare time has-been stage work
for various college plays. She work-
ed on the Delige, The Knight of the
Burning Pestle, Pygmalion, the Bar-
ber of Seville, and designed ‘and exe-
cuted the scenery of the Gondoliers.
One of her deepest regrets is that she
cannot sing im as well as work. for
the Choir and Glee Club perform-
ances. She also designed the class in-
signia, and has written several oral
songs; and she has been Secretary of
her class in her junior and, senior
years, and chairman of the Curricu-
lum Committee this. last year. Her
athletic prowess is modest, but’she has
been on her class hockey, basketball,
and swimming teams. She regrets
that she has never been a great pa-
tron of either the Greek’s or the Col-
lege Inn.

When asked for commenis on the
college, she had few criticisms to
make. She likes a “short, snappy col-
lege year,” which gives long summer
vacations to catch up on reading;
but she admits that Bryn Mawr is a
busy place. There are three possible
fields of activity here: academic
work, extra-curricular activities, and
what may be summarized as. “week-
ends.” No one can really do more
than two of these. She waits with
interest to see the effects of the new
system of comprehensives. The ath-
letic program allows a proper amount
of leeway, she feels. Both the Self-
government and Undergraduate Asso-
ciations are very good, and we are
lucky to have them really run by the
students themselves. Required Hy-
giene and Diction courses seem to her
unnecessary. .The system of outside
lectures might also be changed. She
thinks that it is a pity to have the idea
of a certain number of lectures each
year, and that it might be better to
wait and get only very distinguished
lecturers’ as they are available...

One of the best things about-college
is the opportunity it gives one to live
with other people who are working
in fields different from one’s own. Miss
Monroe said that none of her friends
was interested in chemistry or mathe-
matics, but rather -in. other subjects
like English, history, or French.
The most striking thing about Bryn
Mawr is, however, the cordial and
helpful _relationship—between—the-stu=
dents and the faculty. This is only
possible because we are ‘a small col-
lege, and Miss Monroe feels that the
sympathy and time which she has re-
ceived from various members of four
different Departments has been truly
amazing. The generosity of the fac-
ulty is the biggest advantage of a
small student body, and Miss Monroe
hopes that such privileges as hers will
always be possible. Although she has
no illusions as to the “‘unalloyed bliss”
of her college career, it is something
she would not have missed for words.
“Bryn Mawr successfully combines a
mediaeval love of scholarship with an
alert interest in the contemporary
scene.”

Guy Marriner Gives~
Lecture And Recital

Modern Russian Comibcaitions
Show Harmonic Experiment |
And Innovation





NEW CHORD DISCOVERED



« Guy Matriner Gives

Lecture and Recital



Deanery, May 21.—Mr. Guy Marri-
ner, in the last of a.series of lecture-
recitals, discussed Modern Russian
Composers who, with the exception of
the neo-classic Prokofieff, are import-

ant for their experiments and inno-,

vations in modern harmony, Scriabin,
with his mystic chord; Schénberg with
his work in atonality; Stravinsky and
Toch, with their continual searching
after new effects, all point the way
towards. unhampered expression of

‘modern ideas.

Scriabin, who was vorn in 1871,
was a prophet of the Russian sym-
phony as Debussy was of the French.
He was an impressionist and a theo-
sophist, and fanatical in his belief in
the close relationship of perfume and
color to music. Eventually he found
expression for his ideas in the “mys-
tic chord” which he formed from. his
own scale.. His manner of handling
this chord lends a ‘strange, subtle
quality to his music, which is difficlt
to interpret and to understand. It
demands complete absorption of the
performing artist and the audiencé.
When Scriabin’s music is fully ap-
preciated, it penetrates beyond “the
listening stage” until it is no longer
explicable in words. Finally it be-
comes an essential part of one; this
characteristic points the way to a new
era, when music as a branch of all
art will be linked by science to reli-
gion; and those three, art, religion.and
science, will be recognized as the basis
of life.

The Divine Poem, written’ in
phrases of four bars and presenting a
wealth of harmony, is an attempt to
express the struggle and triumph of
the spirit over sensual enjoyment. The
composer’s growing mysticism is evi-
dent in Poem (Opus 32), part of a work
consisting of five Preludes, an Etude
and a Poem, which ushered in the new
development of the “mystic chord,”
The mystic, esoteric quality, as well
as the romantic quality, of Scriabin’s
music is not fully appreciated now;
but its vogue will come again, when
full understanding of it is possible.

Like Scriabin, Rachmaninoff is a
Romanticist, but unlike the former, he
is not influenced by the Impression-
ists. He writes in long sweeping
phrases the Russian song of poign-
ancy, fire and suffering. His music
has the lugubrious quality of the Rus-
sian drama. Prelude in G, although
composed in a major, is, like Tchai-
kovsky’s music, ineffably sad. Mr.
Marriner also played the Prelude in
C Minor, a piece too well-known to
need comment,

Medtner, another Romanticist,
forms a sharp contrast with Rach-
maninoff because of his tremendous
joie de vivre, which is very popular in
America, although not on the Conti-
nent. He writes stories, especially
fairy tales, characterized by a wild,
merry mood, as evidenced in The
Fairy Tale in E Flat.

Prokofieff is a neo-classic composer,
second only to Stravinsky in modern
Russian music. He attempts to catch
the spirit of Mozart, and write as
Mozart would if he lived now. A\l-
though he is not successful in carrying
out this intention, his work, as the
work of all the neo-classicists, has
done a great deal towards clarifying
modern music. The Prelude is an ex-
ample of his clean, polished, and high-
ly-finished style.

Stravinsky’s place in modern music
is not fixed because his constant ex-

perimenting has made him a barome-}

ter recording all phases of muscial
thought. He has been by turns, Neo-
classicist, Romanticist, Post-romantic-
ist, Post-impressionist, and Effectiv-
ist. He has written music of all kinds
beginning with the Eighteenth Cen-

‘tury forms and passing through poly-|

tonality and atonality. His ballets

‘tried to become self-sufficient, putting



reflect his responsiveness.to all new
ways of life and it is impossible to
say where his love of experimentation
will lead him in the future, The wild
chromaticism and cacophony of much
of his music is worked out logically
according’ to a strict classical: form
and beautiful design.

Schénberg is a pioneer in the field
of atonality who believes that follow-
ing the laws of nature rather than
the laws of art is a surer way of
finding the inner spirit of music. It
is thus that he has arrived at the
theory .of atonality which is a system
of harmony baseg,on twelve independ-
ent notes, in "Batraistinetion to

mass is formed, the juxtaposition of
the chords is scientifically worked out,
even though harmonic resolution is ig-
nored. The Juggler, by Ernst Toch,
a pupil of Schénberg, is an example
of atonality in which the‘discords are
less violent than in much of the atonal
music being written now. Atonality
is only one phase of the effort to ar-
rive- at a new type of mausic which,
though founded on a rigid form of
its own, will be completely free from
classical rules and thus better able
to express the modern age.

Mr. Marriner also played Cradle
Song (Palmgren), Cappriccio (Dach),
Hopak (Mossourgsky-Rachmaninoft) ,
and the Prelude in G sharp minor
(Rachmaninoff), and Clair de lune
(Stcherbartcheff). In conclusion, Mr.
Marriner repeated for epgores the
Prelude by Prokofieff, the Brclude in
C Minor by Rachmaninoff, and Medt-
ner’s Fairy Tale in E Flat. .

Economic Alterations



Continued from Page One

currency, and a flexible, coherent pat-
tern of the working parts, was com-
pletely swept away by nationalistic
tendencies and changes in the _ eco-
nomic potentialities of the countries
of the world.

“The results of the economic changes
are as yet:only problematical and can-
not be evaluated. Free enterprise,
which was the foundation of the old
system, may have gone for good. We
can only hope that this is not true,
since with the destruction of free en-
terprise we take away the greatest
natural stimulus toward labor — the
prospect of gain.

After the War the old economic ap-
paratus was worn out and had to be
rebuilt. The structure of internation-
al. trade was lost, although this was
disguised by a free flow_of investment.
The excessive rapidity of reconstruc-
tion after the War shows that it could
not be so important or so thorough as
it should be. International co-opera-
tion was destroyed and each country

up high tariff barriers in an attempt
to provide against another war. The
Treaty of Versailles aimed at denud-
ing. Germany and preventing her from
rising to economic importance again.
Germany was determined to build .up
her industry and succeeded in doing
so; but she acted in accordance with
pre-War traditions and conditions in-
stead of regarding the new ones.

The Crisis has had further effects.
Nationalism has been encouraged and
developed by the higher tariffs and
the quota system, which is bad because
it* is too discriminating. “Exchange
control, designed to keep currencies in
stable relationship and ‘thus facilitate
commerce, actually has the effect of
stopping commerce. Planned market-
ing has lost. for the United States,
where it is most efficiently worked, 41,
per. cent of her foreign cotton trade.
In the field of currency, the so-called
“Managed Moneys” are grossly mis-
managed, through the liberal ‘inflation
by public works, heavy taxes, and the

ripping apart of normal commerce by |

Comprehensives Unify
~ Study in Major Work:



“Although a comprehensive exami-
nation is protracted torture before-
hand, it is actually enjoyable at the
time it is taken.” Such is Jeanne Mor-
rison’s opinion of the comprehensive
system. = Miss Morrison is a member
of the graduating class at Bryn Mawr,
and has taken honors work in history
with Dr. Gray. She believes that the
preparation for a comprehensive ex-
amination integrates. the knowledge
gained in various ‘courses and is es-
sential for a history major course. A
comprehensive enables a student to
gain a knowledge of her field as a
whole, a knowledge which can be ob-
tained in no other way.

As in history courses, a compre-
hensive examination is invaluable in
all literature courses. Miss Morrison
is not sure how the comprehensive sys-
tem would work out in_ scientific
courses. The plan for comprehensives
in their major fields for all seniors
is, on the whole, a good one. Miss
Morrison is in favor of Miss Robbin’’
idea of having a list of books pub-
lished which would be helpful in
studying for the examination, and of
having occasional tutoring.

Miss Morrison believes that the reg-
ular courses outside of the major
field, which are taken by students in
their senior year, present a distinct
obstacle.to the comprehensive system.
The preparation for a comprehensive
requires a great deal of time, and this
fact should be taken into-aceount—by
other professors.

As a whole, however, the compre-
hensive system is extremely valuable.
It takes much time in preparation;
but ‘its value in integrating the work
makes it worth the trouble it causes.
In spite of the fact that one thinks
of the examination constantly for
weeks beforehand, eats, sleeps, and
dreams comprehensives—‘People told
us ‘that we didn’t even smile for three
weeks before the comprehensives”—
one does not really mind, and even
enjoys, the actual examination.

Activities of Drive



$235,000 for Science Building
Out of $432,051 Collected;
District TV Wins



MEMORIAL GIFTS LARGE



Goodhart, June 1—Caroline Mc-
Cormick Slade, in her report onthe
Fiftieth Anniversary Fund to the
Annual Meeting of the Alumnae As-
sociation of Bryn Mawr College, an-
nounced that $432,051 had been
collected. $1,057 had just come in
that morning, $500 of, it being from
Mrs. Dwight Morrow, who is trying
to raise $100,000 for Smith. These
sums are literal figures, nothing/more
or less than what has actually been
received or pledged.: ($11,728 more
has been collected since Saturday, so
that the total is now $443,879).

The prize of $1,000 offered by the

"National Committee to the first dis-

trict to raise its quota has been won
by district IV. This comprises the
states of Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky,
Ohio, and West Virginia. This dis-
trict has.a quota of $15,000 and, has
raised $15,620.10. The National
Committee is offering two more
prizes: one of $1,000 for the next
district to complete its quota and
one of $500 for the third successful
district. —-The district -which— will
probably win the next $1,000 is num-
ber V, which centers in Chicago. It
has a quota of $75,000 and has
raised two-thirds of this amount.
The $1,000 prize for the first gradu-
ate class to have 100 per cent of its
members contributing has not yet
been won. The prize for the first
such undergraduate class has been
won by 1985.

Of this money raised $235,000 is
free for the Science Building. The
rest of the amount is designated for
other purposes. Many memorial
gifts are being planned in connec-
tion with the drive. The class of
1901 has long Hoped to make its gift
as a donation of $25,000 in memory
of Marion Reilly. They are giving
this amount this.year, and it is to be
used’to endow a Physics chair. $35,000
has been given in memory of Madge
Miller, part of it for the Library and
the interest of the rest to be used by
the President for the needs of the
college. There have also been the
Sophie’ Bouchet memorial of $17,000,
the Catherine Halliday Daniels merh-
orial of $10,000, and $90,000 in mem-
ory of a deceased Bryn Mawr gradu-
ate which is to be used for the new
Library wing. The Music Depart-
ment has been given $19,000. All
gifts to the college this year are
being counted toward the fund, as

xPresident Park suggested.

The Committee intends to go on
working through the summer and to
make ai intensive campaign early
in the fall. The day of retkoning
will come on November 2 or 3, by
which date $1,000,000 must have
been collected.

The Alumnae Association decided
at its annual meeting last June to
give the college $1,000,000 in honor
of its fiftieth birthday. There was
no dissent and no question as_ to
the success of the enterprise. The
first charge on the money was to be
a new science building, which would
cost approximately one-half the total
amount. Another» $100,000 would be

set aside for upkeep. The payment
of the Wyndham debts was the third
item, in order that the coflege might
start on its second fifty years un-
hampered. : ¥
In the summer Mrs. clark, Presi-
dent. of the Alumnae Association, and
Mrs. Chadwick-Collins asked Mrs.
Slade to be chairman of the drive
committee. She accepted when she
was told that there was a rumor on
the campus that she had already re-
fused. because she feared that the
driye. would not succeed. At the
Council meeting at Bryn Mawr this
November ‘quotas were assigned. to
and accepted by the districts already
created by the Alumnae Association.
The National Committee was organ-
ized and at Mrs. Slade’s suggestion
Louise Fleischmann Maclay wag ap-
pointed Vice-Chairman. It was decid-
ed to call the campaign tke “$1,000,-
000 minimum,” and to acckpt all do-
insurance
(above. the $300 mini n). These
were to be used specificalhy to pay for
Wyndham, but not many such gifts

Efforts to raise the money have
been and will be vigorously. carried
on. The undergraduates have raised
more then the amount they_ promised,
$20,000. Of this $13,000 came direct-
ly from them. It would have been
very gratifying if $67,000 more had
been raised by Commencement so that
the goal could be half reached by to-
day. Between now and next Novem-
ber money must be gotten in every
possible way. One man whom Mrs.
Slade approached seemed interested
in helping pay for the expenses of
the campaign, which have been cut
down from the original estimate, of
$50,000 to $20,000. Gifts in honor
of people are probably the most hope-
ful way of raising money. Besides
those already mentioned, Dr. Wagon-
er’s class, 1918, is raising $50,000 to
build the Library of the new Science
Building. If one cannot give money,
there ate other things just as use-
ful. Mrs. MacMonnies has given any
one of her husband’s bronzes,: and
one-half of the money received for
any of the others. President Park’s
tour and the publicity Mrs. Collins
has obtained have had very good re-
sults. >

The $1,000,000 will*be raised
some day, though it may take longer
than we think. It must not take too
long, however, since the eyes of all
other colleges are upon us. If the
amount is raised. it will show that
the cause of privately endowed edu-'
cation is still alive. It must be col-
lected..faxr, the sake of Bryn Mawr, for
the sake of women’s education, and
for the sake of education in general



in this country.

Head and Heart Art Important
In. World Within And Must
Be Well Used



SERVICE IS BEAUTIFUL



Goodhart, June 2—The. Baccalaure-
ate service this year was exceptional-
ly beautiful. The singing of the choir
massed in the balcony reached a height
of loveliness in the three anthems—
Schuber’s composition of the’ Twenty-
third Psalm, part of the Requiem of
Brahms, and Beethoven’s Halleluia
Chorus. The sermon was preached by
the Reverend Donald B. Aldrich, rec-
tor of the Church of the Ascension
in New York. He told the graduat-
ing class that instead of looking for-
ward to the world which may or may
not be waiting outside, they should
think of the world within, for this
after all will mean most to the outer
world. In this inward world, the head
and heart are paramount; and if one
uses these well and truly,ethe work
of the hand will take care of itself.

We use our heads for selection and
perspective; and the knowledge that
we gain must be focussed on. one
ideal just as all .the elements of, a
cathedral lead toward the common
altar. One type of person tends to
scatter all he knows; the other brings
it together, co-ordinating it’ to make
a compact, purposeful whole and to
give other: people a beautiful and
elevated picture of it. These quali-
ties of beauty and elevation are the
ones which make a civilized nation in-
teresting, according to Matthew Ar-
nold. If we feel that goodness in
itself is interesting, we realize that
it-is good because it. is interesting.
Here perspective .comes into play so
that we can take life, but not our-
selves, seriously. We should achieve
this as perfectly as has Doctor Dit-
mars, who took some of his invalu-
able time to tell a little boy who had
telephoned him how to feed garter
snakes, and ended by asking him to
call him up again.

The affection and the impulses of
the heart are no less important; and
to them, even “the music of the
spheres” is secondary. Our dreams
and nopes, our loves and our ideals,
are all a vital part of us; and we
trust the impulses of the heart be-
fare all else. The man who gave his
life heroically to save the home of
his friend from destruction by fire
lived by an ideal that was more real
than any other thing. We must re-
membey that when we came to col-

impression of the play.

It is more difficult to appraise ‘the
music and dancing. Mme. Sikelianos
is a devotee of the medieval Byzantine
modes. and has composed the modal
tunes for flute and voices which occupy
nearly half of the performance The
restriction of the musical accompani-
mént to a running pipe and a thump-
ing drum obviously removes all temp-
tation to modernize; and the general
absence of ‘all operatic melody is
clearly very much in keeping. But
the present reviewer was unfortunate-
ly not astute enough to know whether
something as adequate and as mean-
ingful had Been substituted. The skill
of the flute player, Miss Ardelle
Hookins, was beyond ecavil. But the
glorious ideal of the intimate union
of all the arts, which has dazzled the
creative theorizers from. Plato to
Wagener, always threatens tobe a will-
o’-the-wisp. It would be so wonder-



ful,. if ofiy it were/possible! Yet the
chorus by, its very ature, and not at
all because of any accidents of a life

which had hithetto favored high heels

more than bare feet. on the lawn or
had exalted Gilbért & Sullivan above
semi-Byzantine modalities, could not
reach the audience with the directness
of the actors’ spoken words. It was
nobody’s fault if the gentle votaries of
Dionysos with their. charmingly tint-
ed robes and calisthenic emotions
made Pentheus’ directly uttered rage
seem peevish and unreasonable. These
same women’s rites of Bacchus when
they swept over Rome early in the sec-
ond century B. C, caused the alarmed
government to pass a decree de Bac-
chanalibus which makes us_ realize
that the chorus on the lower hockey-
field was being too deliberately inno-
cent.and that Pentheus’ excitement
was not merely the modern fathers’
irascibility at his daughters’ advanced
ideas. Nor can the catechismal re-
sponses in unison of an_ obviously
afore-trained group of forty-two on-
lookers ever expect to form a serious
reply to one angry or troubled per-
son speaking from his heart: The
dramatic problem of the chorus makes
it. almost impossible for the modern
stage to know what to do with, or for,
the ancient Greek play. The problem
for the actors is more nearly soluble;
and Miss Thompson and Mr. Ignatieff
came remarkably close to. showing us
what the solution should be.

No: archaeologist who has suffered
from so-called “Greek drapery” hung
on animate modern framework can
close without a special word of praise
and thanks for the wonderfully woven
and dyed fabrics which made 53 Bryn
Mawr undergraduates look as much
like ancient maids and matrons as
they have any right to desire. That
they remained attractive is a recom-
mendation for the classics as Well as
for Mme, Sikelianos.
