Mrs. H. P. Van Dusen
Reads Verse Subtly

Rhythm and Tone Quality Vary
In Dramatic Interpretation

Of Many Moods





ENUNCIATION IS ‘CLEAR



Deanery, March 24.—Mrs. Henry P.
Van Dusen proved) by her recitation
this afternoon that) poetry reading is

an art and proved herself, as poets

themselves have admitted; supreme in
that art. Without apparent technique,
for her technique varied jn _ every
poem, she sustained the certainty of
her deep, full’ voice and her clear

enunciation through intricate rhythm |.

and alliteration as well as through the
simplest meters. When dramatic in-
terpretation was necessary, she accom-
plished it skillfully; and when words
or sound alone were sufficient, she
made herself no more than an imper-
sonal instrument for them. She did
not speak the poetry; she was the
poetry speaking.

The old, familiar Ballad of Sir Pat-
rick Spens was Mrs. Van Dusen’s first
reading. In this one poem dialogue,
description, narrative and song were
included, with little transition from
one style to the other.. Mrs. Van Dus-
en never failed to meet every change
with a corresponding change in her
mood and voice, yet she adroitly pre-
served the coherence of the whole. Her
mastery of the Scotch dialect aided
her in this difficult poem, as well as
in the language of the following bal-
lads: the Lament of the Border
Widow, Thomas the Rimer, and The
Ballad of Edward. Compared to the
mournful tone of the other ballads,
Thomas the Rimer was light and gay.

It is a story of a fair elf queen who |

stole Thomas away with her into
fairyland. Her arch, coquettish
words, and Thomas’ honest, blunt
speeches were imitated with ease and
sincerity and an appreciation of the
lilt in every line.

In a similar manner, Mrs. Van
Dusen read Robert Burns’ Tam Glen,
the coy lament of a lassie who wants
someone to advise her to marry the
man she loves. Then, an alarming con-
trast, came Burns’ Origin of Poetry,
which was absolute invective against
the teaching of writing in schools.
The students of such schools “go in
fools and come out asses.” The con-
viction sounding in Mrs, Van Dusen’s
voice was terrifying, but her laugh

Dr.. Herben i cniniieiiale !
“Bryn Mawr Camera Club:



Common Room, March 21. — ‘The
newly organized discussion group fot
promoting interest in modern art had
as its guest speaker Professor Her-
ben, who discussed the newly perfected
art of photography, with its possibii-
ties and pleasures as a hobby. He
pointed out many of the excellencies
of the portrait photographs by Joan
Robinson, explaining that they were
all made with strong artificial light-
ing and that the better pictures all
showed good modeling by a clever use
of lights and reflectors at various
angles. Many students responded with
interest to his suggestion that a cam-
era club be formed, on campus and
the developing equipment jointly pur-
chased. The entire equipment. neces-
sary to begin group developing would
be less than fifty dollars, and the
group could bécome self-sustaining by
charging a dues, entrance fees,
and by selling its own enlargements
of campus snapshots. ->

Dr. Herben exhibited a bdttery of
cameras ranging from small pocket
cameras to a large Graflex, a num-
ber of filters and gadgets; and some
of his own pictures, which roused the
envy and enthusiasm of the camera
fans present. He assured everyone,
however, that expensive cameras with
elaborate attachments of the latest va-
riety were entirely unnecessary for
even the finest results. Under nor-
mal light conditions a box brownie can
produce as fine a picture as the fast-
est Leica camera, for the important
thing in all photography is the care
with which the subject and the expos-
ure time is selected. Care in develop-
ing is also vital to a good picture, and

, doing one’s own developing is the only

way to produce results that are exact-
ly what the photographer desires. ,

Cameras have been made so tech-
nically perfect in recent years that the
only possible way to produce a poor
negative is to disregard all care in
exposure and selection of subject. The
fundamentals of good photography
can and should be learned with the
simplest equipment; the subject, if
stationary and available, should be
studied for its best light effects, and
one’s own dark room work should be
perfected, if good pictures are de-
sired. The slowest possible exposure
to prevent blurring produces the best
pictures.



Gay Square.Dancers Caper As Hill Billies
To Mountain Ditties of Fire-House Band



—
Gymnasium, March 22, 1935.—The
first of the much heralded series of

three Square Dances was held amid}.

the breathless activity of the partici-
pants and loud cheers from the gal-
lery of more timid, or perhaps more
lazy, spirits. A crowd of about forty
couples gathered at eight o’clock to
dance to the strains of music from
the hill-country played by the Farra
boys, a local orchestra which plays for
the Malvern Fire Company. The in-
struments consisted of a fiddle, an ac-
cordion and a banjo, all played with
considerable pep and rhythm and ac-
companied by much tapping of the
feet on the floor.

The College was not well represent-
ed in the crowd which gathered for
the opening number, although we did
see several members of the Faculty
disporting themselves in vigorous
fashion. There were numerous out-
siders, a good many of whom were
men, so that there were almost enough
partners to go around. Altogether ‘the
younger generation was outnumbered
by the supposedly staid elders, who
did their best to outshine their jun-
iors. The dances were decidedly
strenuous, and everyone agreed that
for real €xercise combined with genu-
ine fun, square dancing is without an
equal.

_ Practically everyone who took part
in the festivities was inexperienced,
but they soon caught on to the spirit
of the dances. Learning the steps



proved quite easy under the compe-
tent guidance of Mr. Slingluff, brother
of Silvine Savage, ’30, who came up
from Baltimore especially for, the oc-
casion. He called the various parts of
the dances in a manner which re-
minded us of real conntry dances we
have seen in the past ©

Most of the dances were familiar
in song and story. The first one was
the “Virginia Reel,” that old favor-
ite which many of us have perpetrated
at fancy dress parties. The next num-
ber was called “Soldiers’ Joy,” but de-
spite its military name, we could, ob-
serve no connection with the actions
of soldiers. The dancing was resum-
ed after an intermission to let the par-
ticipants and spectators catch their
breath. After a try at “The Lancers,”
the Promenade Step was practiced;
this is one of the fundamental steps
in square dancing. Another number
was called “Old Man Tucker;” expert
square dancers. iaffermed us that this
is also called “Old Dan Tucker,” but
both of them sounded.equally charm-
ing to us and we enjoyed the last
dance almost best of all.

The ‘music consisted of hill songs
and’ old favorites like “Turkey in the
Straw”,.and “Pop. Goes the Weasel.”
All in all, the whole dance was a
grand affair and it is to be hoped thal
a large group will turn up at the next.
one and help to make it an even
greater success than this; for square
dancing is one of those things which
thrive on bigger and better crowds.

Summer Camp Needs
Student Assistance



Poor Children Improve Health
and Psychological Balance
In Camp Life



WORK TRAINS TEACHERS



(Especially Contributed by Sara
Park, ’36)

Now that the College is about to
celebrate the happy arrival of spring
with a much needed vacation, we are
reminded that summer cannot be far
behind, and we realize that many Stu-
|dents must have begun already to
make their plans for June and/ July.
Hence once more we wish to bring to
the attention of the undergraduates
the splendid opportunities offered them
during these months ‘for ecmbined
work and play at the ‘Bryn Mawr
Summer Camp.

The advantages to the student who
comes to the camp are manifold. First:
if a girl is fond of children and in-
tends to go into teaching later, her
experience here gives her prestige that
will be valuable in securing a job. We
inake this statement, advisedly from
the evidence given us by a rueful
graduate of this college, who applied
for a job at one of New York’s largest
private schools“and was turned down
only because she had not had experi-
ence at the camp. Second: A teach-
er at the’ Bryn Mawr Camp comes
into close contact with children of
various nationalities, children of a
different social status from her own.
She has ample opportunity to broaden
her own point of view, and to learn
to look upon the class and race prob-
lems of this country with more sym-
pathy and) understanding. Third :—
and perhaps we should not put this
last—“A good time is had by all.”

Although financially the summer
camp is/entirely supported by the un-
dergraduates, we feel that the stu-
dent body as a whole is fairly unin-
formed as to the aims and the actual
running of this institution. When
-the-camp-began;-it-was-formed~solely
for the benefit of the children. Now,
although we realize more each year
the /actual benefit to the students who
have worked there, we still maintain
that the child’s welfare shall be the
most ‘important consideration: in the
formation of our yearly plans. The
aim of the camp, then, is single in
purpose—we propose to do what we

French Club Production Is Complimented
for Loveliness of Atmosphere and Tone



Expert Direction of Mlle. Rey and Artistic Technical Devices
Aid Poignant Acting in Rendering La Soeur Beatrice

a Sustained, Moving Presentation



LOVELY SET GIVES KEY TO MEDIAEVAL EMOTION



The French Club deserves to” be
highly complimented on the very eXx-
ceptional performance of Maurice
Maeterlinck’s La Soeur Béatrice, which
Maeterlink’s La Soeur Béatrice; which
it presented on Saturday evening.
Mlle Rey, who directed the play, work-
ed wonders with the script, into which
a good many important points in the
action are not written. The group
scenes as staged showed every evi-
dence of exceedingly capable interpre-
tation and manipulation. The acting
in almost every particular was.all that
could be desired. The set was one of
the loveliest we have ever seen in any
production, amateur or professional.

The choice of the play was a happy
one. La Soeur Béatrice, a miracle
play dealing with the story of a nun
who forsakes her vows, is unlike those
dramas formerly chosen by the French
Club. It is a play .which not only
represents a departure in type, bul
which is remarkably well suited to in-
terpretation by the actors.. Evelyn
Thompson as Soeur Béatrice, gave a
performance which, even to those who
were unable to.understand all of the
dialogue, was full of poignant feeling,
and which beautifully externalized a
deep emotional conflict. Her perform-
ance deserves even more praise when
we realize that her part is not really
full of action; she handled the long
soliloquies with great understanding,
einploying gestures and intoning her
voice to the greatest advantage.

Irené Ferrer was a most convincing
Prince. Bellidore. She did not play
the part in that hesitating: manner af-
fected by so many girls taking male
roles. Her lines were spoken with a
ring of sincerity; her stride as she en-
tered was decisive and sure; she car-
ried off the part well, playing a rather
difficult romantic scene with convine-
ing ability. Diana Morgan, who took
the part of La Vierge, was not only
a very stony statue, but also a very
charming saint, as she took the place
of Soeur Béatrice in the convent. Her
part was not large, but when she gave
alms to the beggars and the poor,
when she fixed her eyes‘on the ‘spot
where she had stood as a statue while
the Abbesse (Alicia Stewart) upbraid-
ed her, her whole mien was that of
some ethereal creature sent to earth
by a divine miracle.

Mary Hutchings, as the priest, said
her few lines with feeling, and al-



Volunteer Service Work Offered

Extraordinary opportunities in vol-
unteer: sérvice work are being offered
in Philadelphia by the Volunteer Serv-
ice Bureau, which was organized last

September to help men and women |

find volunteer work in the field where
their talents can be used to the best
advantage and to the best advantage
of the community. It provides all
sorts of work: office and secretarial
work in hospital clinies, day nurser-
ies, museums and settlements; cultural
work (i. e., work in dramatics, dane-
ing, story-telling, singing, painting,
sculpture, decorative and applied arts,
history, archaeology, photography, ap-
plied and natural science) in mus-
eums, cultural organizations, play-
grounds and_ settlements; editorial
work in educational and other publi-
cations, such as bulletins and news
letters; group leadership and club
work in clubs and libraries; profes-
sional work as advisors or members
of committees requiring a knowledge
of law, architecture, dietics, finance;
and personal work among the blind
and among hospital patierits.

The bureau is one of twenty-six op-
erating in-as many cities in America:
and offers opportunities in extraordi-
narily varied fields of service. The
Volunteér Service Bureau in Philadel-
phia is located at 311 South Juniper
Street, and any inquiries may be ad-
dressed there, or information may be
had by calling Kingsley 1658.

though she was left on the stage with
nothing to do for.some length of time
while the miracle took place, she main-
tained her priestly demeanor. All of
the entrances of the nuns, the pauvres,

of wonder and awe which pervaded the
whole. i

Marie Louise Beck, playing the pe-
tite Allette, was a real addition to the
play; her girlish’ voice and delicate
manner as she.approached the Virgin
and realized that it was not the same
Soeur Béatrice, somehow lent an en-
tirely new note of tenderness. Lu
Soeur Béatrice was exceedingly well
cast; that every actress found herself
in her role was evident from _ the
smoothly-running performance which
was given.

Probably the most. important thing
in a play of this type is’ the at-
mosphere and tone. Before the cur-
tains parted a few bars of organ mu-

Times Editorial Praises
Bryn Mawr Science Plan



The following editorial, entitled
Scientia, is reprinted from the New
York Times of Saturday, March 23:

“Bryn Mawr has given evidence of
her faith that the substance of things
hoped for will increase, for she is
launching a ‘million-dollar drive.’
This may be called an ‘intuitional’ in-
dication of recovery. The purpose to
which a considerable part of the. fund
is to be devoted suggests that it is
something more than just another
‘drive’ for endowment and buildings.
The plan is to bring about a ‘merging
of the sciences’ to the extent at any
rate of ‘breaking down the imaginary
barriers’ between the sciences and giv-
ing the students opportunity for see-
ing that biology, chemistry, geology
and physics are ‘parts of a picture
that should be considered as a whole.’

“This does not mean a return to the
old descriptive courses in ‘natural his-
tory.’ It contemplates something thor-
oughgoing: advanced courses given by
members of the departments concern-
ed, integrating certain fields of work
that ‘nominally’ lie in two or more
divisions. »Such systematic training
-should result in the recruiting of indi-
viduals of comprehensive ability pre-
pared to teach or to carry on research
in the ‘border-line’ fields. This train-
ing should begin in the undergraduate
period, for it is difficult for a student
who has done research in one field to
subject one’s self to the discipline of
routine elementary work in another.
_ “But such courses should be of value
also to the great body of students in
‘the humanizing of science’—to quote
a title which Dr. Harvey Cushing has
given to a recent impressive article
in Science. An acquaintance with the
manifold ways in which ‘science has
modified human events and... affected
human society should be as much ‘
part of the fibre of a classical educa-
tion’ as are the ‘classics’ in literature.
The view cited by Dr. Cushing that
‘science must become more humanistic
and that humanism must include sci-
ence’ is one to which Bryn Mawr may
give practical expression in celebrat-
ing her jubilee this year. For that
reason it is hoped that the primary
object of the million-dollar drive will
be successful; that a~building for the
allied sciences, adequately equipped
and endowed, will be provided for the
new half-century in the life of the
ever-forward looking institution for
women where, besides the ‘total chron-
icles of man, the mind, the morals,’
the last thing is learned of ;

‘The star, the bird, the fish, the shell,



the flower,

Electric, chemic laws and all the-rest:

And whatsoever can be taught and

‘known, ”

and the pilgrims sustained the spirit’

Dear Reader—
We have pondered the past, present, and future of Bryn Mawr
every week for another News year, and now that we lose our public to
a new and superior Editorial Board, we feel it is high time for a revel-

ation of the editorial policy

that we have pursued.

The ulterior

motives which have prompted our attempts to mould Publie Opinion
in and about Bryn Mawr must finally be exposed,

We hffve at last reached some conclusions after a year of tortuous
thought, and we beg to state our humble opinions as follows:

Years and Years Ago

Now that our thoughts are more or
less turned to the French play, we
think that it would be -wise to get into
the Maeterlinck spirit. This is, to the
uninitiated, a combination of subtle
ecstasy and deep fog. Today, .Maeter-
linckism is defunct; in 1903, it was a
Great Movement. Tipyn O’Bob added
its little share to the prevailing mys-
ticism with The Prey of the Falcon,
supposedly by one Maurice Schmetter-
ling. . The scene is a lecture room in
Taylor. ‘The time is just before the
opening of a lecture. The props are

DEATH EX LIBRIS” °

(Continued from Last Issue) .
The body was found at midnight that
very same night, prone upan the floor
in Mirabel’s own room. The blinds
were still down; the door had to be
opened by the person who found Mira-
bel déad at midnight. Julie Finkle,
who discovered the body, described the
whole thing, graphically to. the au-

thorities early the next morning—
“T was on my way, quite as usual,
to take a bath last night at twelve

on and wanted to see her about the
week-end she had taken at Princeton,
and about how my own little pals
were doing there, I dropped in.”
(Here Miss Finkle blushed slightly!
And then hesitated. But this does not
matter to the case—known as the Re-
serve Room Mystery—but only ,goes
to show the unaffected girlishness of
the average Bryn Mawr student.)
“You can imagine my surprise when
I saw Mirry out cold on the floor. I
said, ‘My God!’ and poked her. Quite
cold. I got some water and sprinkled
it on her forehead. »Cold and damp.
I listened to her heart. I could -hear
nothing.”

“Where did you get the water?” in-
terjected the Dean, in a suspicious
tone. Miss Finkle did not hesitate for
a moment. She was quite straightfor-
ward. “I got it out of the vase hold-
ing the corsage she had worn over the
week-end.” »No one could doubt her
now. Investigation disclosed the vase,
lying on the middle of the study rug,
and the corsage wet and streaming on
the top of the bookcase.

Miss Finkle went on, “When I real-
ized that she was actually dead” (and
Miss Finkle stressed the word un-
duly), “I rushed down to the smoking
room. Gertrude Guffey was complain-
ing about a book she had signed out
that had been swiped. Finally I got
them to listen. They all streamed ‘up
to her room after me, and that-is all I
can remember. The authorities were
telephoned then. Although, Vl

the girls had theories about. it. Would
you like to hear them?”
“No,” said the Dean,
firmly.
Miss Finkle went on; “Well, some
thought she had committed suicide be-
cause of overwork. Took poison, may-
be; drank pills in the flower water.
Some thought it was violent death
from overwork. I think—if it was sui-
cide—she probably had an unsuccess-
ful week-end. Several irreligious peo-
ple thought Bates House did it—put
poison in their sandwiches that night.
Verona Mallory, who was the last to
leave the library that night—having
been on duty at the reserve desk—was
sure it;was the sandwiches because she
saw Mirabel come into the library just
before ten; and the Bates House peo-
ple know they sold her a sandwich but
they can’t remember which kind. The
trouble is that Verona thinks it was
the egg sandwiches, because she had
one that tasted funny, but they—”

enough, Miss Finkle.” mee

Movies

Aldine: A movie with Charles Boy-
er and Merle Oberon, over whose titlé
there appears to have been some little
controversy. It is now, and probably
momentarily, entitled Thunder of the
East, but a footnote explains in no
uncertain terms that it was once call-
ed The Battle. We have no doubt that
the Aldine would welcome a _ better
suggestion.

Arcadia: All the King’s Horses,
with Carl Brisson and .Mary Ellis.
Memorable for having provided us in
its more theatrical days with a little
ditty entitled “All the King’s Horses
and All the King’s Men.” An amus-
ing comedy with music, no less.

Boyd: Private Worlds, with Clau-
dette Colbert, Charles Boyer, Joan
Bennett and Joel McCrea—a highly
interesting dramatic tale of a doctor

fin an insane asylum who succeeds in

marrying a spoiled young thing and
then realizes he is in love with his as-
sistant. Since the spoiled young thing
goes temporarily insane, too, under the
influence of the other inmates, it is
all a trifle hectic, but we urge it with
vehemence upon anyone who is not
susceptible to insanity under the prop-
er influences.

Fox: The Great Hotel Murder,
with Victor McLaglen and Edmund
Lowe—it must have been the bad win-
ter weather that has supplied us with
this superfluity of murders. We feel
the same way ourselves, but after see-
ing this, we will never enter the por-
tals of a hotel with the same feeling
of blithe confidence that once was our
happy, if ignorant, lot.

Earle: Love in Bloom, with George
Burns, Gracie Allen, Dixie Lee and

| Joe. Morrison—a—not—unusual-musical

comedy, enlivened tremendously by the
presence of Burns and Allen.

Karlton: Transient Lady, with
Henry Hull, Frances Drake and Gene
Raymond. We couldn’t tell you wheth-
er the lady transients through space
or character, but with Henry Hull in
it, we suspect it’s character.

"Locust: Benito Mussolini himself
in his own idea of a movie about him-
self, entitled, doubtless by Senor Mus-
solini Himself, The Man of Courage.
It presents the highlights of I] Duce’s
career, including his compromises with
the Pope, who also appears in person.

Stanley: Wallace Beery, Robert
Young and Rosalind Russell in West
Point of the Air. We understand that
Mr. Young removes the _ inevitable
young lady in question from the atten-
tion’of Mr. Beery, and that consid-
erable trouble ensues.

Stanton: We have yet another mur-
der case, this time The Casino, with
Paul Lukas and Alison Skipworth. Mr.
Lukas brightens the general proceed-
ings by being a most attractive hero,
and the rest of the movie is-tense to
the point of distraction.

News of the New York Theatres

It would appear that Vr, Macleish’s
play of the future, Panic, was not the.
success that it might have been; in
fact, it has now been precipitately res
tired to. what the critics like to call
the shelves, although where. said
shelves: may be is not exactly clear to

our curious young, mind. Every effort
has been made, howeyeryto make clear
to us what Panic was about, and after
a zealous re-reading of the theme at
intervals in the early hours of the
morning, we are convinced that the
shelves in question. are as good a place
for the play as any. Mr. Macleish
‘has asserted his theme to be “the con-
flict between the individualism of the
protagonist and that sense of the in-
evitable extinction of the existing eco-

‘|nomic order which is one of the deep-

est, if not always the most commonly
recognized, convictions of our genera-
tion.” We agree perfectly with Mr.
Macleish—his theme is just what we.
had been trying to say to ourselves
this many a day now, and we do think
the critics are being a trifle severe in
relegating to the aforesaid shelves a
play that so clearly solves the prob-
lems of everyday life. Perhaps it will
be discovered and hailed as a. master-
piece by a more enlightened public in
days to come, who will see with a
better perspective than is our lot that
the trouble with our times is exactly
aS Mr. Macleish thinks,—whatever
that may. be.

We seem to recall with a somewhat
gleeful pleasure that the first time we
were ever called upon to create this
Column, the Pulitzer Prize Committee
had just written a new play, entitled
by some, Men in Scotland, and by
others, Mary in White, to which in
disgust with the condition of the the-
atre as it existed’they had awarded
the prize. Broadway was. thronged
with baffled crowds trying to buy
tickets for the prizewinner, and when
‘the shouting and the tumult died and
the smoke of battle was cleared away,
everyone agreed that the Pulitzer
Committee had been extraordinarily
successful with their little joke.

Now that we are about to retire
with sorrow and bitter tears from this, ’
our private battlefield, we notice that
the betting is running high on what
form of amusement the Committee is
planning to perpetrate within the next
few days.

A few conservative spirits feel that
the Committee had all its fun last year
and will rest content with the results
of its merrymaking, but there are
others, with whom we prefer to throw
in our lot, who believe that last year’s
efforts were a mere prelude and intro-
duction to a bigger and better mockery
of the dramer. We offer as a sugges-
tion. that the best scenes from every
play on the betting list: should be in-
corporated into one major opus. Eliz-
abeth Bergner might create an im-
passe by. perching perilously on the
window sill-of the very window
through which Rain From Heaven is
falling, while Three Men on a Horse
make a Personal Appearance and
break up The Children’s Hour that
The Dominant Sex is conducting right
in the middle of The. Petrified Forest.
In the middle of the stage a Lady of
Letters might address the troops—at
Valley Forge, placing the Accent on
Youth, while the Gold Eagle Guy and
The Old Maid Awake and Sing that
Anything Goes. Upstage, A Woman
of-the Soil, who is suffering from Pet-
ticoat Fever, might perform The Great
Waltz, while The Bishop in The Black
Pit Misbehaves and picks the Flowers
of the Forest. We feel that a com-
pletely charming and _ revolutionary
romantic tragedy, tinged with melo-
dramatic moments and culminating in
a musical satire, would be the unpre-
cedented result, and that it would
doubtless completely solve the problem
of the future of the modern drama.

With this suggestion, we hopeful-
ly turn over what we have been ‘wont
to consider Our Column to a successor
in whose judgment and perception we
faithfully trust. Our sole advice to
her, which is directly in line with the
policy we have tried to follow, is that
she should never venture to criticize a
play which she has actually seen.
Without any doubt, unbridled use of
her imagination will carry her fur-
ther toward successful dramatic criti-
cism than other mode of attacking the
problem.

SECOND SCORES 35 -.17

(Submitted in NEws Cagnpetition)

The second team exhibited its usual
good playing against Rosemont this
week, and the forwards repeated their
good shooting, ending with a score. of
35 to Rosemont’s 17, The first quar-
ter of the gamé foretold a complete
walkaway for Bryn Mawr with Baker
and Seckel shooting goal upon goal
throughout the period. But after the
rest Rosemont came back with more
determination and steadiness, and the
forwards were up against a greater
fight for the rest of the game. The
Rosemont guards stuck closer’ and
were more successful in intercepting
passes than before, so that the rapid
scoring at our forward end was great-
ly decreased.

Play in the center was much slower
than usual, but a bright spot: in the
game was the quick passing from See-
kel to Dewes and back to Seckel. Jack-
son played slowly but steadily, and
her accurate passing and good jump-
ing were a great asset. Little and
Washburn played well against a pair,

On Saturday’ evening Rosemont
took over the Bryn Mawr basketball
team 45-29-in a fine exhibition of bas-
ketball technique. °

Except for the first quarter when
Varsity held the score to a tie of 8-all,
Rosemont led all the way with its su-
perior passing and accuracy. The
rose team gained»its big lead in the
second quarter, in spite of the excel-
lent work of the Varsity guards, who
played beautifully, but were unable
| 10 stop the almost telepathic teamwork
of the Rosemont forwards. In the sec-
ond half, Rosemont missed . several
easy shots and Bryn Mawr was able
to accumulate an equal number’ of
points, but it was impossible to make
|up the tremendous lead.
| Though the score might have been
‘a little closer, and Varsity ended its
regular season with a splendid effort,
'Rosemont reached the peak of its ca-
reer, playing basketball about which
one usually merely dreams.

Illegal Use of Library Books

_New Library Rule

A notice has been posted in
the Reserve Room reminding the
students “that it is part of the
library duties of the Student As.
sistants to report the names of
students who insist . on taking
books out of the building dur-
ing the day.” This clears the
students in charge of the Re-
serve Room from arly charge of
personal bias that might be
brought against them in the dis- .
charge.of this particular duty.

will refuse to be satisfied with second

Examiination Schedule

The Final Examination sched-
ule has been posted on Taylor

see that the books are always avail- cutting. There are no comfortable

‘ able.
Books-are the foundation of. the
brilliant and ordinary student alike.
For the ordinary student who simply
recasts the information which she ac-

. quires, teaching and books complement
each other, while the creative student
must always build on this foundation.
The faculty, however, are only avail-
able at certain times, in contrast to
the books which are, officially, always.
available. The pattern of the college
curriculum for both teacher and stu-|
dent is based on books, and they are,
therefore, the basis for the. whole work
of the college.
There is great practical importance

in continuing the availability of books
so that the students may use them
when the faculty cannot be reached.

This is impossible in a large library

where the books are fenced about by

all kinds of regulations. Bryn Mawr,
however, because it has a large college
library and a small student body, has
always stressed the fact that even in
the stacks its books are accessible

Students are thus enabled to use their

own resources in finding out all kinds

of information about their subject be-

yond what has been. suggested to
them.

The privilege of free access imposes
upon students the obligation to sce
that they do not interfere with other
people in using the books. There are
certain difficulties which cannot be
avoided, as in the case when lack of
duplicates makes it necessary for the
entire class to use one copy. The duty
of-the-eollege to-see that-all books are
available to all students at all times
is the reason for the new ruling that
illegal removal of books will be pun-
ished by suspension for an indefinite
period. The length of the period will,
be decided according to the enormily
of the crime.

The marking of the books and the
writing of inane comments on the
pages is another habit which must be
stopped. It is not only distracting to
other readers, but involves the buyins:
of duplicates with the money. that
could be used for new and important
additions to the library.

Another solution of the problem of
iNegally removing and marking books
is that each student should buy her
own-copy,; for-in-this way she-is- not-
annoyed by other students, and they in
turn can have a wider use of the li-
brary. copies. During the depression
the faculty have not felt they could
press the students to-buy books as this
was one of the first luxuries that peo-
ple were forced to set aside. However,
for those who can. afford it, it is an
excellent idea to start collecting a per-
sonal library for the future.

chairs in the gymnasium; the Deanery
provides more than adequate oppor-
tunities for that relaxation during or
between dances for which we so often
hear our over-exercised escorts cry.
‘here are not only numerous comfort-
able. couches and seats in the Dean-
ery, but there are those statuettes, the
different lamps, and the inlaid tables,
all of which combine to produte an
atmosphere of comfort and _ interest
which make even strangers feel more
at home. Since there are three smoms
opened for dancing, it is nearly al-
ways possible to find a comparatively

| uncrowded spot.

Mother Nature was cooperating
with the Dance Committee, of which
Agnes Halsey was the chairman; the
weather was neither too hot. nor-too
cold, and there was a spring breeze
which blew in fits and starts through
the crowded rooms. On the porch,
which was soon taken over as another
dance floor, there were couples trying
io smoke cigarettes, to take advantage
of Nature’s gift of.a lovely night,
and to dance on as long as possible.

A small, informal dance of this type
vives one ample opportunity to notice
2 great many little things aboyt Bryn
Mawr girls and the men they bring
to danees. It is particularly interest-
ing to observe the different stock re-
marks that pass around, and to listen
to various people trying so hard to
remember the name of this person
whom “I’m sure I met at the spring
dance last year.” There was one curi-
ous young gentleman who was bent on
“discovering” new things in the Dean-
ery; "he amused himself by sliding
open little cupboard doors just “to
see what he could see,” which hap-
pened in one ease to be a little bronze
statue and a rather battered brass
pot. Another person picked up a vol-
ume of Who’s Who, and tried to dis-
cover something new about some fam-
ous people in whom he was interested.
One couple spent: all of five minutes

‘trying to decide whether an _ object

hanging on the wall was a coolie hat
or a tom-tom—they were sure it was
from the South Sea Islands!

Herb Woods’ Orchestra. furnished
the music, and the. musicians were
always obliging in answering vequests
for old and new songs. We saw smooth
dancers and fast dancers. There was
ihe proverbial gay laughter that there
always is at dances. The whole al-
mosphere was informal and
pleasant. We hate to say it, but it
seemed that “everybody jhad a good

niost

Lime.”

Mrs. Henry Van Dusen
Reads Verse Superbly

Continued from Page One

at the end was equally convincing.
Ca’ the Yowes to the Knowes and
Bonnie, Wee Thing were more gentle

usual gay, rusti¢ songs.

Then Mrs. Van Dusen read a pas-
sage from Binyon’s Death of Adam,
where his leave-taking of Eve is de-
scribed. By a continual clarity and
steadiness of tone, she conveyed the
epi¢ quality and the growing émotion,
yet she missed some of the richness Of
the poem through her unrelenting re-
straint. None of the richness. of V.
Sackville-West’s The Land was miss-
ed, however. In the first few ures
the austerity of winter prevails, then
with a burst of bright words, images
and music, spring awakes. This sud-
den rise of life in a dead world Mrs.
Van Dusen expressed wonderfully
well. There was an added glow and
vigor in her voice, a quickening of
her words, but the effeet was much
more powerful than. these methods
alone could have produced.

poems which Mrs. Van Dusen read
from Gerard Manley Hopkins were a
suecess. Their subtle rhythms, recur-
ring alliteration and onomatopoeia
made them interesting studies in har-
mony..-Since,-however, -the-patterns-of
sound were complicated and swift, the
words, as words, were barely intelligi-
ble. Pied Beauty began with a sing
clear line, then gradually became a
whirl of syllables. The Starlight
Night was simpler, but not completely
distinguishable, while The Wind.
hover was nothing except a rhythmic,
even dramatic, tone poem. Likewise
Inversnaid seldom allowed any -coher-
rent thoughts to be discerned, although
there seemed to be no loss because of
the complete sound pictures of a roar-
ing stream produced, and because of
the triumphant, distinct conclusion,
“Long live the weeds and the wilder-
ness yet!”

Mrs, Van -Dusen contributed to
these last poems no more than a vio-
lin contributes to its music, but she
immediately. resumed personality in
Masefield’s Adam and Eve. This de-
mure comedy is written in imitation of
Chaucer as he would be if he were as
quaint and naive as people think. * In
reading it, Mrs. Van Pusen preserved
an innocent seriousness to the very
end, when she’ simply announced:
“There is na moe to say.”

Three poems by Yeats and two by
James Stephens were the last to be
read. Yeats’ Host of the Air, Tlie
Stolen Child,. and Fairy Song were

a voice that was singing more than |

the compelling refrains and prolonged
their soft, musical vowels. In_ the
same fairy:mood, but-in a more posi-
tive tone,he read In the Poppy Field,

ens. Her capturing of this intangible
quality confirmed what was manifest
in all her reciting, that she appreci-
ated poetry deeply and _ read it
superbly.
