GOODHART HALL —
‘ NEARS COMPLETION”

_ Simplicity of Line: Line Is the Chief
Architectural
| Feature.

MUSIC WING | Is READY

Goodhart Hall, now nearly eoiiledad:
was the subject of Miss Park’s talks in
Chapel on Wednesday and Friday. The
music and student wings of the building
are practically finished, although the
Main Hall is not so far along, as its
cement arches took longer to settle than
was expected. The ground on the Cam-
pus side of the building has yet to be cut

away, and the dirt will be banked against
the road on the other side to make the
building stand out. Finally a road must
be built between Goodhart and* Rocke-
feller with a wall to hide Rockefeller’s
kitchen entrance.

The music wing, which will be ready
for- use this week, has five practice
rooms on the lowest floor and above them
is the “Music Room,” which contains an
organ and will seat about 200. Recitals,
classes, sfall lectures and perhaps morn-
ing chapel will be held here. The sound-
proofing of: the practice rooms has not
even been attempted yet, and will be a
difficult job.

' In the Student's Wing is a Common
Room, as yet unfinished. It has rows of
large windows and a charming outlook
over the lower campus. A _ nonresident
club room, two committee rooms and a
tea pantry are also on the first floor.

Snow Flakes Are Scientific.

Because the most prominent character-
istic of the architecture of Goodhart
Hall is “simplicity of lines,” the small
amount of ornate detail anywhere in the
building has been’ wholly concentrated
within, or near, the auditorium. The
snow crystals, an intended digression
from the “traditional Gothic architecture,”
are, according to Miss Bascomb, “sci-
entifically correct.”

As you enter the building there is a
small room to be used for exhibitions;
from there you proceed through the
“foyer,” ticket room and telephone booth,
and find yourself in the main hall.

Directly opposite is the stage, 30 feck
wide between the 30-foot arches, and 30
feet deep. On the right of the stage,
facing out, are the various rooms for use
in connection with the stage, the property
room and the manager’s office. Going up
the circular stairs brings you to four
dressing rooms on the right and rooms

MA JORITY EA‘ EASTERNERS

The Freshman statistics have been an-
nounced and as usual, provide food for
thought. Only seven and four-tenths. per
cent. come from west of the Mississippi.
Fifty-three students have parents in the
professions, 53 parents who are in busi-
ness or commerce, while 14 are unclassi-
fied. As usual, the predominant stock is
British and the majority of the class are
Episcopalians.

The complete statistics are as follows:

Fourteen of this year’s Freshman class
are the datighters of lawyers, of physi-
cians and nine of engineers. The profes-
sors are not so prolific this year, provid-
ing only four members of the class,
whereas in the past they have had the
greatest number. There are 13 manufac-
turers represented, nine corporation
executives, seven merchants, six real es-
tate .operators, five bankers and four
brokers, with the rest scattered.

Thirty-seven per cent. (45) of the
class have both parents who are without
college training, 36 per cent. (44) whose
fathers are college graduates and whose }*
mothers had no college training, while 20
have both parents college graduates.

Only 75 (62 per cent.) of this year’s

parents native born. Last year 90 per
cent. of the class, or 114 out of 126 were
thus favored.

| English i is the sole stock of the ssateithed
grandparents of 50 freshmen and of the
maternal grandparents of 39. It forms
part of the stock of 24 others on, their
parental side and of 33 others on their
maternal side. German is the second
greatest racial strain. The Southern Eu-
-yopeans are-just barely represented.

Fifty-five of the class are Episco-
palians, 20 Presbyterians and nine Jewish.
There are, six Methodists, four Catholics
and a scattering of other denominations.
There are only five without affiliation.

“There are 17 students with an average
of credit, 10 of whom are 17 and two of

whom are 16.

as the second New England Regional
Scholar, and gtarred durifig her Fresh-
man year as the White Rabbit in the
Freshman Show. As a Sophomore she
was Class Secretary, besides being on the
C.._ A. Membership Committee and the C.

has been a member for the last three
years. In her Junior year she was on
several more committees—the Student's

Hockey Manager, an office which she
continues to hold. She has been in Choir

record has been such that she was
awarded a yellow blazer last spring.

Old Officers Re-elected.

After a deadlock, which forced the
meeting to adjourn until the following
day, Marguerite Barrett was. re-elected
Vice-President, and Elinor Amram was
re-elected Secretary.

Miss Barrett was on the Banquet Com-
mittee and Captain of the second basket-
ball team during her Freshman: year. She
retained these offices in her Sophomore
year, and was also Treasurer of the Un-
dergraduate Association and on the Com-
mittee for investigating Big May Day.
In her Junior year she, was again on the
May Day Committee, and was Chairman
of the Senior-Junior Supper Dance. For
the last two years she has been Hall
President of Radnor.

In her Freshman year Miss Amram
was on the Scenery Committee for the
Freshman Show, and on the Property
Committee of Glee Club. As a Sopho-
more she continued to work for the Glee
Club, and was Chairman of the Sopho-
more-Senior Picnic. Last year she was

two graduate students, Hamilton and
Shaw, were numbered among the defense,
enhanced the interest of the games
Hirschberg did not seem quite sure of
herself in the first half thereby missing
several tackles she could have made stfc-
cessfully, but she improved later. Stetson
seemed speedier than last season, and
Freeman, too, played well. As usual
Bruere. contributed some pretty stops.

In the forward line Tuttle and Guiter-
man shone because of their splendid tri-
angular passing and speed on the up-take.
Their teamwork was excellent. Stix, in
the ‘center, had wore push than usual,
while Longstreth,' at ,right inner, used
stick and head together. Loines was
swift as usual, but there was less inter-
play between her and her inner than took
place on the other side of the field.

Conditioned Oralists

Get Second Chance

In chapel on Monday morning Dean
Manning spoke of the new arrangement
of Orals for. seniors. Ever since Bryn



Mawr opened there have been language

examinations in French and German; the
plan of these has been changed from
year to year. They are given so as to
insure a_ reading knowledge of the
languages for all graduates ‘of the for
lege. This is felt to be essential for any
student who expects to do advanced work,
to make her at all cosmopolitan in her
subject.

Originally the examinations were
taken singly and orally by seniors clad in
cap and gown. But the Faculty objected
to this on the grounds that it made the
whole burden fall upon the senior year,
when the major or advanced work was
being done. So the examinations were
given in the spring of the junior year,
and conditions were made up in the fall.
They were also changed from oral to
written tests. Then the further objection
was made that a girl who failed in her
senior year had no further chance to take
the examination until after her class had
graduated although she might have the
time and opportunity to study for it.
Therefore this last change was made.
Seniors who fail now are divided into’

A BETTER SYSTEM

Judging from the attendance Mt

gw the chapel service on Sunday eve-

ning,,it- would seem as if a system

has at last been discovered gvhere-

by the college will, of oe

volition, attend the evening serv-
ices.

There are, however, two views
of the subject which might be ‘pe-
rused with an idea of further con-
templation.. On the one side are
those who maintain that the pres-
ent system obliterates the only at-
traction of the Christian Associa-
tion services : the presence of some
well-known, brilliant speaker.
This side argues that we have
enough of the “college element”
during the week, and* that the
Sunday evening service should
provide an.opportunity for hear-

ing a subject discussed from a

point of view unbiased by partici-
‘pation in college life.
This may be true. But on the
other hand there might, and from
appearances last week, doubtless
will, be a far larger and more vol-
~~ untary attendance if the service is
shorter. This, of course. cannot
be relied upon if there is an out-
se gai ‘speaker. And then there is
|. “san element of interest in hearing
the truly sincere ideas of someone
directly concerned with college
life, whom we _ have _ hitherto
known but—superficially._It__ap-
peals to the curiosity of the human
mind.

A suggestion has been offered
to the effect that we have more
hymns. If we could, would not
the present system prove highly
“t successful ?

THE CHEER LEADER
% Perhaps it is May Day which
has inspired it, this enthusiastic
co-operation in group activities,
obvious all over the campus. Per-
haps only, the “cycle of In-
creasing Collegiatism” has come
round again. Whatever the cause,
a change has certainly taken
place; a change that has made it-
self felt even in the spirit of those
who attend Hockey matches. At
Saturday’s game there appeared a
small but enthusiastic group, who
sang and cheered with unprece-
» dented vim and vigor. And their
efforts did not go unrewarded ;

+ Something, About Elephants.

We were greatly perturbed recently
when questioned as to what type of
pedal extremities are on an elephant. .

Q:; ‘Does an elephant have paws?”

’ . We paused.

A.: “Well,. it certainly ‘doesn’t have
hooves.” -

Q.: “It certainly doesn’t. Has it paws?”

A.: “One would hardly call them feet.”

Q.: “Hardly. ‘Are they PAWS?” \

A.: “Let me ask for a while. Has an
élephant got poise?”

Q.: “It has dignity, and—and averde—”

At “STAW®,”

Then we did what any properly edu-
cated person would do under the circum-
stances; we went out and consulted an
authority. The first we came upon was
The Elizabethan Zoo, a most decorative
volume. In it under the heading ‘“Ele-
phants,” we read: “The elephant hath
feet like a man’s,” Can you picture the
poor fellow wtih a bunion on his big toe.
and, maybe, fallen arches? But then, ele-
phants as well as manners may have
changed since the days of good Queen
Bess.

Cissy Centipede Theorizes on
Haircuts.

Ever since Cissy returned to college
she has been subjected to the vilest form
of torture. Everyone has had something
to say about her new haircut. “It’s
‘wind-blown’—a coup de vent,” she ex-
plains ‘with tragic intensity, but still her
critics carp on.

“I imported it from Paris myself. In
fact I even introduced it into Paris. I
had to tell the barber just, how to do it,
though I didn’t know either.” .

“It looks it,” is the usual terse com-
ment.

Finally we got her into a corner, and
made her confess. all. We suspected that
there was more to the matter than a mere
jeu d’esprit, but we must admit that the
explanation surprised us; it. was so
simple, and, withal, so profotind.

“Tf you really want to know why I
continue to wear it this way, in spite of
hostile comments, I’ll tell you,” Cissy at
last consented. “I know it’s not very be-

“Bryn Mawr is a special little city on

that reminds one of a cloister. We saw
them flitting by on bicycles, heard them
playing the piano, noticed them when they
did rhythmic dancing on the meadow.
Some wear mannish clothes, blouses with

‘reminds one of the gate of an old strong-

hold, I met a blonde secretary—‘“Gentle-
men prefer ‘blondes”—who took over the
expedition. She gave laughing answers
to all my questions. In the house in
which I found myself was a great room
with sofas, leather armchairs, tables. The
ladies: sit or lie in poses that -would
fascinate a painter of women; some girls
have even laid their beautiful legs on the
table. They take tea and smoke. Others
read and smoke; some converse and
smoke; still others seem to be thinking
of something and smoking. Smoking
seems to be the fundamental motive of
their existence. The important thing is to
know how to smoke.

The Secretary explains, “Fhis is the
smoking-room, ‘Das. Rauchzimmer, In
each house smoking is allowed in only
one place. Otherwise it is forbidden.
Earlier it was forbidden everywhere
within three miles of Bryn Mawr. But it
became inconvenient to walk so far for a
cigarette. In their rooms they are not al-
lowed to smoke. These are not any
larger than cells.” My guide took me to
such a cell. We met, at once, two girls
who were munching sweets and made us
welcome hospitably. The cells are all
quiet; decorated with a thousand little
things of the inhabitants, pictures, pho-
tographs, kimonos, colored _ pillows,
flower vases, a banjo. California oranges
and apples. The rooms are so much alike
and differentiate themselves only through
the personality of the owner. Only. the
colored pillows and dotls are’ universal.
There is only one tea pantry, but each
root’ has a bath.

(Here follows a discussion of the size
and importance of the college, and gives a
brief summary of its history.) _

The code of ‘rules is founded com-
pletely on modern principles, tending. to-
wards happiness. Woman is here to
learn of life, she must know how to be
independent. Only a few of the higher
class women have to earn their living. But
they want to learn everything. Studying
is interspersed with games, sports and
dances. Discipline must not be too strong
because each girl is respdisible for her-
self. The students may go about freely
to the theatre in the neighboring cities, if
only they are back by 10 o’clock in the
evening, and they must go in pairs. In
certain rooms they ¢an entertain young
men. They call this room the “Verlo-
bungsgemacher.” The course” of studies.
