Little: May. Day Held
According to Tradition



Innovations Introduced in Spe-
cial Folk Dancing and
Breakfast inane



GREEN FESTIVITIES GAY



"The celebration of this year’s Lit-
tle May Day, held Friday, May 5,
was from the first favored by extra-
spring ‘weather.

ordinarily clear,

Following: the traditional--eeremony,

_the sophomores woke up their sister

class at six by singing.their waking
song through the halls, and individu-
ally waking each senior by pausing
before her door, while a sophomore
entered with a-May-basket. The bas-
kets this year were gold, decorated
with red ribbon; and some of them
were filled with wild flowers, some with
daffodils, daisies, jonquils, and tulips
from florists. The seniors, after a
hasty breakfast of coffee and buttered
rolls prepared by, the sophomores,
presented Miss Park\with a May bas-
ket, and then sang ‘heir Magdalen
College Latin hymn to the sun from
Rock tower.
sive as always in the still, fresh dawn
of a May morning, was followed by
the crowning of the May Queen. Miss
Josephine Williams, President :of the
Senior Class, was crowned accord-
ing to the tradition, by the President
of the Class of 1935, Peggy Little.

Tradition gave way -to taste in the
for breakfast this
year, and breakfasts: varied in the
‘different halls, some retaining the old
strawberries and chipped beef, others
changing to sausages or French
toast.

The festivities on the green were
especially.enjoyable. There was more
impromptu gaiety in the “one-two-
three-hopping” behind the village
band on to the green than last year,
when the Big May Day grandstand
was there for staid “sport specta-
tors.” And the five Maypoles on the
green, wound simultaneously, lent a
carnival touch to the scene. Miss
Park’s presentation of a red necklace
to Josephine Williams, ‘included a
generous reminder of Bryn Mawr’s
never-changing welcome to returning
alumnae.

An innovation this year was the
introduction of country dancing af-
terward. Four dances, Newcastle,
Confess, Peascods, and _ Sellinger’s
Round, were done, the last named be-
ing joined spontaneously by the col-
lege at large, forming a large outer
circle in addition to the two smaller
ones of the dancers.

Chapel followed, with Miss Park’s
annual announcement of the various
fellowships and scholarships for 1933-
34. After chapel, the seniors rolled
their hoops down Senior Row, pre-
senting them‘ to’ their undergradu-
ate friends. Then the four classes
formed a quadrangle to sing May
Day songs, before proceeding to the
business of the day—classes.

Lehigh Students Pay Visit

The Robert Blake Society, a philo-
sophical society of Lehigh Univer-
sity, at Bethlehem, paid a brief visit
to Bryn Mawr on Friday, April 5.
Arriving in the morning, the body of
students, thirty strong, including two
professors, inspected the two psy-
chological laboratories and paid a
brief visit to Taylor Basement to see
the white rats.

The society then adjourned to the
Common Réom, where they heard a
lecture on religious beliefs, given by
Dr..Leuba. Members of the faculty
and eighteen Bryn Mawr undergrad-
uates received them afterwards at a
tea in-the Common Room. They were
escorted by some of the undergrad-
uates about the campus and were
then led to Wyndham. At ‘a dinner
given in WyndHam at six o’clock
Friday evening, the society returned
its obligations to the — Mawr

faculty.

Revolutionary Leaders
Were Not Provincial



Washington’s Transatlantic In-
terests Surpassed His
Interest in West



EARLY COLLEGES LIBERAL*«



“Important as the western horizon
appeared to eighteenth century
America, the leaders of the Revolu-
tion lived in an Atlantic rather than
a strictly western world,” said Dr.
Evarts”B. Greene, professor of his-
tory at Columbia University, deliver-
ing the Mallory Whiting Webster
Memorial Lecture in the Music Room,
May 5, on “American Horizons in
the Days of Washington.”

“Every historian wishing: to get
below the surface,” Dr. Greene de-
clared, “must reproduce the Weltan-
schauung, the outlook on. the world,
of earlier generations, and avoid the
tendency to interpret the past accord-
ing to the ideas of the present.’’ Cir-
cumstances determine men’s vision ‘
and the greater part of our national
history has’ been determined by con-
flicting horizons.

After the opening up of the trans-
Allegheny country, the gaze of many
prominent men for the first time
turned toward the West. Benjamin
Franklin promoted the Grand Ohio
Company. George Washington, as
soldier and surveyor, early acquired
a knowledge of frontier life and con-
tinued his interest in the West
throughout his career.

Washington was, however, primar-
ily a planter of the~ southern tide-
water, and as such his trans-Atlantic
interests were of more vital import-
ance to him. A decade before the
War of Independence, half his let-
ters were written to Europeans who
handled his commissions. for buy-
ing and selling abroad. The problems
of a practical planter stimulatd his
interest in scientific agriculture, so
that he studied Priestley’s chemical
analyses and corresponded with Ar-
thur Young, the leading agricultural
writer of the time. In the army he
made enduring friendships with Con- .
tinental officers like Lafayette and
Rochambeau, and later’relied on them
for first-hand information about Eu-
ropean affairs.

For business world, the Atlantic
horizon was even more alluring than
for the agriculturist. The volume of
eighteenth century commerce seems

M. Canu and Dr. Hedlund
Receive Special Awards



The students of Bryn Mawr are
not alone in celebrating. scholarship
and prize awards just now. Dr. Hed-
lund has recently been granted a
Nationg] Research Fellowship for
mathematics by the National Research
Council. He will have leave of ab-
sence next year to study in Prince-
ton.

A magazine article by M. Canu
has won him the Strassburger Foun-
dation’s annual $1,000 prize. The
following account appeared in the °
New York Times, May 6:

“The Strassburger Foundation’s an-
nual $1,000 prize for an article or
articles appearing. in the French
press calculated best to serve Franco-
American friendship was awarded to-
day to Jean Canu for his articles en-
titled ‘The United States By Auto-
mobile,’ which appeared in Je Suis
Partout. M. Canu is. now professor
of French literature at Bryn Mawr
College.

“This—is the fifth_timethe—prize—
has been awarded. It is given on
the anniversary of the conclusion of
the treaty of alliance between the
French Government and _ General
Washington’s army. Seven distin-
guished Frenchmen of lettérs serve
on the committee that chooses the
prize winner.

“This year, M. Canu got three
votes; Pierre de Noyer, New York,
correspondent of Le Petit Parisien,
two, and Odette Pascaul, one. One
judge was absent.” :

Onward Christian Soldiers! |

Slowly, year by yeat, month’ by month, life at Bryn- Mawr is
becoming more civilizéd. If-she has made a judicious selection of her
courses, an undergraduate may now open her eyes on a reasonably
attractive world: the early morning chill will have risen from the
campus; the birds will be sleeping off their paeans to the rising sun;
the faces of her friends will have ceased to reflect the harrowing rigors
of the breakfast table. Fortified by a late sleep, the panacea for mid-
night toil or conversation advocated by all beauty specialists,.she will
descend in stately splendor to milk lunch and a cigarette. At the
appointed time, the thirst for knowledge will overcome her, and she
may frequently be seen attending classes.

‘This dignified manner of facing the perils of the- day was adopted
by many students, who felt confident that nothing would ever disturb
it, but Little May Day has shaken their confidence and their belief in
the progress of college civilization. At the ungodly hour of 6 A./M.
on Little May Day, each indignant Senior was wrested from her slum-
bers by the callous hand of the one Sophomore she had spent the year
insulting. Coffee and rolls failed to appease her wrath or to/restore
to the world its*usual pleasing appearance. Heavy-eyed, she staggered
gut into the teeth of the biting mist, and sprained her ankle on the
slippery pavements, only to lose her one remaining illusion at the
sight of the rising sun: the sun, like most people, does not look its best
when it has just arisen. She could not enjoy to the full the long-
awaited sausages and strawberpiés, her hands were too heayy to join
in the rapturous applause at Chapel her feet too heavy to skip along
the interminable, ipath~from. Rockefeller to Senior, Row. Her hoops
seemed wayward and refractory, and the maypole danee presented—a
maze of difficulties. Her professors were appalled at the vacant ex-
pression on her face, hitherto sparkling with eagerness: to learn.

We are not yet finished with the alarming results of Little May
pay. Even the lives of those intrepid students who aeeee through the
expanded oats have been shaban praae thelr healthy asitina fie’ any
risers have taken to sleeping not only through breakfast, but through
their nine and ten o'clock classes. Cuts have been counted against
students whose chaste cut-cards have néver before been sullied by the
defiling imprint of a number. But the plight of the former sleepers,
who are now victims of insomnia leaping from their beds with a ery
of terror at the stroke of six and stranded in a cold, healthy world
throughout the early morning, is even more pathetic than that of the
reluctant sleepers. We feel that in view of these cataSt¥opttes, no
artist in living can but join with fervent sympathy in our plea that
the hour of rising on Little May Day be henceforth delayed from the
stroke of six to the more mellow stroke of eight.

And oh! the awful sinking feeling,
When at dawn I heard a squealing,

That announced. the sophomores
At.their ordained ghoulish chores,

Began, though fuzzily, to ponder,
Why it wouldn’t be ag classic
And nowhere near so doggone drastic
If we picked evening instead,
And sweetly sang the sun to bed.

The Pulitzer Prize Committee took
a deepgbfeath .and awarded its much
sought after prize to the Theatre
Guild__production,...Maxwell... Ander-
son’s Both Your Houses, the satirical
sock at our Washington machinery.
This is the second attack on our dear
government to be awarded the di-
ploma of American greatness, as last
year Of Thee I Sing came in ahead
of the field. Mary if all this activ-
ity keeps up things will improve—
something awful might even happen
to Huey Long and that would sure-
ly change*the subject. But, although
our government costs a lot and does
not work ‘very well, ‘at least it is
amusing, and that’s something. In-
cidentally, this is the third time the
Theatre Guild has. won the award;
in 1924-25 with Sidney Howard’s4
farce, They Knew What They Want-
ed, and in 1927-28 with Eugene
O’Neill’s Strange Interlude.

Stone probably won’t let sister Dor-

Ina Claire missed her first per-
formance on account of illness when
she couldn’t make the grade a week
ago Tuesday night in Biography.
Ruth Weston, her understudy, play-
ed the part, after having taken over
the part of the half-wit debutante
the night before. All of which goes
to prove that understudies do get on
the stage occasionally, and that they
don’t spend all their life on the wrong
side of the footlights. They can’t
feel very comfortable about it,
though — the star hates them. be-
cause the sight of them reminds ‘him
that “sic transit gloria mundi,” that
“death lays his’ icy hand on kings,”
or that there’s many a slip ’twixt the
cup and the lip. The cast dislikes
them because they are prophets of
disaster, and the audience simply
loathes them because they are a sym-
bol of fraud, misrepresentation and
disillusionment. Imagine. going to
“see Ina Claire and having her ander-
study pop out beaming!

Ernest Truex and Peggy Wood are
a decided success in the new comedy,
Best Sellers, about a pathetic little
man who wrote swell books about his
wife’s wanderings in the realm’ of
forbidden love (apologies to Kather-
ine Hepburn and _ Christopher
Strong). Percy Hammond says “it
is as enjoyable for the faults that
are absent as for the virtues that are
present.” Which sentence proves
that if one is a dramatic critic long
enough one doesn’t know what one
thinks—especially when pleased.

And Eva Le Gallienne announced
last week that she has contracted
with Columbia Pictures to make a
dialogue motion picture of Alice in
Wonderland, directly after its clos-
ing, which occurred last week. Jos-
ephine Hutchinson will keep the title
role, and most of the company will
appear intact. Miss Le Gallienne
will supervise and direct the produc-
tion.

Bryn Mawr’s contributions to the
stage and screen seem to be doing
quite well for themselves these days.
Margaret Barker, last seen by us in
the Group Theatre’s House of Con-
nelly, showed up last week in Hilda
Cassidy, a second-rate Street geen
about Third Avenue. Hilda lo
“beguiling rat whose disagreeable
charms are fatal to the Sex,” and so
naturally misfortunés beset her, not
the least of which is Margaret Bar-
ker as the offspring. Again Ham-
mond, “the pretty but perhaps too
Bryn Mawr daughter was preparing
to elope on the Mauretania with. a
slick and upstanding racketeer, spe-
cializing in slot machines and Brit-
ish sweepstake lotteries.” Our repu-
tation is picking up, or maybe Mr.
Hammond doesn’t know about our
legendary lack of expansiveness. Any-
way, when a Bryn Mawr girl can
marry a racketeer, or at least try to,
it’s encouraging. That she got
caught is disillusioning, but not fatal
to our hopes.

And further to illustrate the trend
of the times, we report that Ethel
Barrymore Colt has been engaged to
entertain at the Waldorf-Astoria ball-
room on the. Jack.Denny program.

time or obliterated by lack of -under-
standing, the initial chapters of parts
one and two of Adventures of Ideas
should, prove unexpectedly interest-

-

ing,.in connection with the remainder

of the book. Under~the headings, ©
“Sociological” and ‘Cosmological,’
the author considers “the sort of his-
tory which ideas can have in the life
of humanity,” and makes it an ex-
citing history. The third section, en-
titled “Philosophical,” + contains re-
statements and amplifications of Mr.
Whitehead’s own philosophy as set
forth in Science and the Modern
World and in Process and Reality.
The fourth, called “Civilization,” de-
fines the five qualities by which civ-

ilized society is characterized —
Truth, Beauty, Adventures, Art,
Peace — and discusses their relation

to the problem of Appearange and
Reality.

The sociological enquiry is con-
cerned with the transmission of civi-
lization from the Near East and
Greece -to modern Europe, and the
progress of society from the accept-
ance of institutionalized slavery to
the practice of democracy. The agen-
cies which have effected this change
in men’s thinking are Platonic
thought and Christian ethics, which
have combined to give mankind _ its
most precious instrument of progress
—‘“critical discontent,” best express-
ed in Plato’s dialogues, and an ethics
impracticable in society as it now
exists. The course of history is af-
fected on the one hand by senseless
forces such as floods, barbarian inva-
sions, and mechanical devices, and
by consciously formulated ideas, on
The march of ideas is
slow and painful, and their appli-
cation is dependent upon the devel-
opment of social customs and insti-~
tutions which will permit it, but the
ideas are in constant motion: “a
general idea is always a Sains to
the existing order.” Plato says that
the creation of the world—the world
of civilized order—is the victory of
persuasion over force. It is this vic-
tory of persuasion which Mr. White-
head is most concerned to show in
Adventures of Ideas, ,

What_is our first family of the the-
atre coming to? Last season Miss
Colt contented herself by disgracing
the arms of the house by her out-
rageous (and lone) appearance in
George White’s Scandals as a lazy
girl reporter, and. now comes this.
The best plan seems to be for her to
give up the stage, and concentrate
on the Park Avenue in New: ‘York
where she has more fun. The name
needeth her not.

The column rises to point with
pride to its semi-prophecy about

bers. It’s the first time we can re-
member that we have been right
about the future. : Anyway, Miss Cor-
nell is going, to do the Bronte saga by
Clemence Dane early in the fall, af-
ter she has taken her very successful
Alien Corn ona road tour. The
Brontes are enjoying a violent vogue

a| these days, almost comparable to that

of Francis Lederer, hoarding, Babe
Didrickson and the Senate. No less-
than six plays dealing with their lives:
and works have been in the hands of
English managers during the past
year. :

And that’s about all we know. Din-
ner At Fight and Alien Corn are both
going on the road; Design For Liv-
ing closes the 20th “Wfistead~of the
26th of this month; and Katherine
Cornell is not going to do a movie,
not evén for the benefit of the Actor’s
Fund, as rumor had it last week.
And we'll admit this column could be
improved, but who could be bright
between Orals?

The cosmological division- deals
with the induence of scientific
