Humor Is Subject of

League Service|

Henry Pitney Van Dusen Points
Out Saving Influence of”
Humor in Intellect.



DISCUSSION _ RELEVANT



The Rev. Henry Pitney Van Dusen,
of Union Theological Seminary, was
the speaker at Sunday night chapel,
which was held in the music. walk of
Goodhart. The balcony made a very
effective pulpit, and ‘the walk a choir
from which the voices sounded excep-
tionally well. Since the. evening was
rather chill andthe hillside occupied
by the audience truly deserved~the
title of sloping, Mr. Van Dusen’s
choice of a subject was an unusually
happy one; it concerned the value of
humor. ©

Wit, said Mr. Van Dusen, has been
considered only as a frivolous recrea-
tion by a too intense and moralistic
piety. Christ, however, thought other-
wise, as is shown in the parable of the
“small splinter” in the other fellow’s
_.eye.as._ against the_“‘large—beam—of
lumber” in one’s own. Socrates and
St. Francis also realized the potence of
humor, the lack of which may be~a
barrier to the deepest perception of
truth. For; as in the case of the little
girl who told the solemn Fraternity-
hymnists that they were all fools, it
explodes the bubble of sophistication
and provides the neededtouch-to-our
serious psychological isms, thus allow-
ing us to see beyond them.

The “simple, homely values” of hu-
mor are obvious. It releases’ minds
from a “too ‘solid tension,” “delivers
our eyes from the blinders of self-
importance,” thus giving us the per-
spective finally attained by Maggie’s

Dr. Herben Explains
the’New Book Room



At long last, some aad of Salone:
tion of the New Book Room is set
down. Your reporter, wearied of the
querrelous complaints concerning its
somewhat scanty array of fiction, even

of popular “best sellers,” determined to

settle the matter’for once and for all
by begging an interview from Dr. Her-
ben.

After attempting. to smoke the
wrong end of one of the new ciga-
rettes specially prepared to light with-
out a match, and settling ourselves to
bombard Dr. Herben with the thou-
sand and one arguments against the
present composition of the New Book
ERoom; we -gradually.found ‘ourselves
losing ground.

In the’ first place, “The. New Book]

Room is not a lending library,” de-
clared Dr. ‘Herben. “If that is what
the undergraduates want, they can

walk over to the Pike and join the
library which is there for that pur-
pose.” The books we have are either

‘new acquisitions of thie various depart-

ments, or are otherwise chosen for
their-permanent value.—

The committee is composed of Miss
Park, Miss Reed, the English Depart-
ment ard, ex-officio, the undergraduate
body. It meets three or four times a
year to.go over-all the critical reviews,

English and American, and each person

brings in a group of new works seek-
ing approval. Usually there is a very
wide duplication. Books are not-often

taken on hearsay, though sometimes}

the committee is forced to accept them
on faith, and very Yarely are ones ac-
cepted which are not known to at least
a few members. Where there is a
serious objection.on the part Of one

Little May Day seemed to ban sophis-

Jupiter lent his approval to the spirit of
spontaneity. The sophomores prepared
their baskets according to tradition with
more enthusiasm, let us say, than painful
effort. Although “lazy” lost all its de-

of the moment before, for the intellectual
achievements—of their fellow students.

There was one irrational jump which
the Seniors at least regretted. From the
childish pleasures of hoop rolling to the

fatal step, but-to be true to Bryn Mawr
traditions it must be made.

TO PUT AWARD TO PUBLIC BENEFIT



Last Saturday, May 2, Bryn Mawr
did honor to Jane Addams, of Hull
House. Big May Day flags flew:
Gardeners dressed, in white to decorate
our- gates. Traffic policemen gave
their uniforms an extra whisk to come

ers and Westers lunched in Rockefeller

in which to spread forth in their dining
room the deposits of many wagons.
Only the weather failed to co-operate
with the college authorities. It drizzled
and gloomed putting tea on Dalton
green out of the question. 4,

The occasion for so much ‘pomp,
circumstance, _love. and. honor. was the
dams of the M. Carey Ticcagé Prize
of $5000 in—recognition~ of eminent
achievement. This prize was estab-
lished in 1922 by the Alumnae Asso-
ciation and has only been awarded
once before, in June, 1922, when it
was givefi’to Dr. Thomas. In addition
to about 1000 undergraduates, alumnae
and friends of the college who were
present, the audience included radio
listeners, for the entire proceedings
were broadcast by the National Broad-
casting Company over a nationwide
hook-up.

The reading of messages from the
heads of three countries and speeches
in praise of Miss Addams by Frances
Perkins, John Dewey, Carrie Chapman
Catt and Grace Abbott preceded the

presentation of the prize by President
Park. Miss Addams was’ lauded as
leader of women; apostle of friendli-
ness, pioneer. in social progress.
Miss Park Presents Award
“In behalf of the Committee of
Award of the M, Carey Thomas prize
and in behalf of. Bryn Mawr College
which -delightedly. offers. itself..as a
background for the festivities of to-
day,” Dr. Park said, “I have the honct
of ‘welcoming to the exercises con-
nected with the giving of the prize
first of all Miss Addams herself, then
President Emeritus M. Carey Thomas,
the speakers of the coming hour, and

finally the_friends—and~admirers who

have come from-far and wide to Bryn
Mawr today. In your honor we are
swept and garnished, for for us it is a’
great occasion and one not to recur in
a college generation.

“The giving of the prize has taken.
place only once before. When Miss
Thomas was about to retire from her
thirty-eight years of -deanship-and pres-
idency at Bryn Mawr the alumnae of
the college with others in the college

ican woman. of eminence -who, what-

Working Conditions
Physiologically Bad



Dr. Winifred Cullis, president of the

International Federation of Women,

spoke on Monday, April 27, on “The
Human Machine at Work.” Though
Dr. Cullis is primarily a physiologist,
she chose’ a subject which could be
connected with any branch of science.
'Her lecture was based on her experi-
ence on the board-for the Health of
Industrial Workers, and the National

Institute of Industriai Psychology.

The first of thesé institutions was ap-
pointed during the war by the Medical
Research Board to investigate the de-
crease in factory output. The investi-
gation showed that the workers were
exhausted and resulted in the curtail-
ment of working hours.

Senior Singing

It goes without saving that when we come to college we consider:
that we have put away childish things, but there still seems to be difficulty
in judging what is childish. We are not making a plea for more repre-
sentatives of the League to go to the Haverford Community Centre, or
even that the class of ’34 should go easy on Freshman Night; this is
merely a suggestion that more people should come out to Senior Singing.
School Spirit is decidedly a thing of the past, but we do wish there were
a little more enthusiasm shown about college functions where one’s
own class or one’s own friends do not reap the immediate benefits.
There is scarcely a month left before the Seniors leave Bryn Mawr and
adventure into the wide, wide world; little wonder that they like .to
indulge their sentimentality in singing when the evenings are fine and
spring is in the air. It must be a little disappointing for them, however,
to have one weak solo voice from another class answer their own well-

practiced and intricate harmonies.

Senior Singing really doesn’t take

much time, ‘but it really does take much co-operation to make it enjoyable..

ions expressed in this column.

To the Editor: ee

With regard to last week’s editorial
concerning cuts, it has been called to my
attention that Haverford students have
recently been given the privilege of vol-
untary. attendance at classes. While it
would doubtless be asking too much to |
suggest that a,similar privilege be ex-
tended to Bryn Mawr students, 1 do
feel that the members of the three upper
classes whose work is satisfactory—who,
according to our former vocabulary, have
their merits—should be enabled to go to
classes or not as they feel the need.
My suggestion would be that Sopho-
mores, Juniors, and Seniors, doing “satis-
factory” work be given unlimited cuts;
and that if a student’s work in half her
units shall fall below the old merit level,
she be put immediately on the cut limit
now in use, and which would still be in
use. for Freshmen. Since quizzes and
examinations are still given in most
courses,.this check-up would occur about

To the Editor:
The question of “greater freedom in
the system of cuts is one which de-
serves a certain amount of attention,
and I am glad to find it-referred to in
your column of April 29. Although
increasing numbers of upper classmen
are taking honors, there are still those
cases which you mentioned of students
whose major work is good, but who
prefer a variety of courses to honors
work. Their problem is not cared for
by the recent ruling.
A more thorough consideration of
the matter would probably deal with
the factor of motivation. Unlimited
cuts might develop a maturity of atti-
tude toward academic work which
would contribute greatly to rational
scholarship?

Lucy SAnsorN, 732. .



To the Editor:

In the News of March 11 there ap-
peared an editorial on Sportsmanship.
We fee] this was entirely unfounded, not

cause it shows a-lack of understanding of
the: true meaning of Sportsmanship. We
consider that the first- principle of. sports-
manship is in one’s attitude toward one’s
opponents. In the editorial the following
statement was made:

“The student body is continually criti-
cized for the lack. of interest shown in
Varsity athletics, but it-cannot..be ex-
pected to turn out and cheer when Bryn
Mawr is playing a non-collegiate team;
usually composed of women who play for
the sole purpose of keeping their weight
under one hundred and seventy-five.”

As members of the varsity teams, we
do not feel that this statement is justi-
fied. It implies that the club teams do
not play good hockey. As a matter of |
fact this season they defeated us in five
out of seven games, and in competition
with members of these clubs for positions
on the All-Philadelphia team Bryn Mawr
only got three positions on the second
All-Philadelphia team. Therefor¢ one
might justly conclude. that these non-col-
legiate players far excel Bryn Mawr’s.

The editorial goes on to say that en
thusiasm of the college for hockey would
be aroused by more intercollegiate games.
We feel that the real interest should be
in the type of hockey played rather than
in the “competitive spirit” shown by the
two teams. In fact, we think that this is
the case at college, because there is larger
attendance at the /All-Philadelphia game
than at either of our collegiate games.

Furthermore /we would like to point
out that the article mentions the Swarth-
more game as our only collegiate game,
whereas we also play Rosemont College. |
Although the team ‘itself would like to
play on/outside fields, a college rule for-
bids it and these are the only two col-
leges/ which play outside games that will
play us under these conditions. As a
matter of fact this rule “eliminates from
the list of possible opponents” only teams
‘which have in the past been defeated by
our sécond team. f

We feel that this editorial shows. that
the News: Board-does not appreciate how
much Bryn Mawr owes to the Philadel-
phia Field Hockey Association (made up
largely of club teams) for the advantages
of coaches and umpires and for the great
privilege of playing the All-Philadelphia
team at the end of the season..

The sleuthing department has un-

week, the greater—and, we may add, the
best—part of. which has, been censored.
One of the few we have left concerns a
certain efffifient art authority. It an
old newspaper story that it is not news
when a dog bites. a man, but when a man
bites a dog it is—this art authority has
bitten the proverbial dog. Anyhow, this
is ourstory and we're going to stick
to it. At a recent art tea in the Com-
mon Room some: students ‘were puzzled
by the appearance of a work of art com-
panion to that which has been, hanging
there inscrutably. in its - little mirror
frame. The compafiion, ‘dlso “mirror

tably over the mantel. The relative mer-
its of the two were being. contested
somewhat hotly when the above men-
tioned eminent art authority entered in
person. She was overheard to’ say, in
answer to the queries as to its meaning,
“That’s the point. What does all mod-
ern art mean? Each one interprets it for
himself—the more freedom it gives the
imagination the greater the work of art.
That's why I prefer this picture (the
more inscrutable one.) «It leaves me
quite free.’ We understand that ‘she

someone made a mistake. You see the

Activities of Summer

~ School Are Are Described

Industrial eins Taught to
Relate New Facts to Home
and Factory Life.



ROOM OF OWN IS JOY

(Specially contributed by Miss Hilda
W. Smith, of. Affiliated Schools — for
Women: Workers in Industry.)

Hardly, a week after the College
closes early in June, the Summer
School students arrive on the campus.
This unique school, now ten years old,
will open this year on June twelfth.
One Sarina women workers. from the
factories of the United States and
Europe are enrolled each summer for
-an eight weeks’ course: a study pro-
gram liberal in scope, closely related
to the problems , of industry.

Any undergraduate returning to the

campus after~June twelfth would
hardly known her familiar college
home. Most of the dormitories are
closed. Pembroke and Denbigh,:the-

Library, Taylor Hall and the Gym-
nasium all show signs of activity. The
Denbigh dining room will be used this
year for the school assembly, a daily
event at noon. In the corridors. of
Denbigh the Summer School faculty
will have their rooms. The students
will occupy Pembroke. In both halls
rooms are always stripped almost to
bareness. Rugs are up, curtains are
down, and furniture is reduced to a

But to the workér who

no means empty of furnishings. “My
room is not bare,’ said one garment
worker, “because a leaf looks*in.” The
“privacy of a bedroom to herself is a
new experience to the _ industrial
worker, and she fully appreciates this
privilege. She rejoices over every pic-
ture’ left on the wall, every ‘strip of
gay curtain, every desk. left unlocked.
for her use, every sign of the person-
ality of the “winter student.”

-On the campus, too, the scene would
be unfamiliar to the undergraduate.
Here are students who seem older and
more tired than the average college un-
détgraduate. Gradually one distin-
guishes various types. Here is a tall,
fair-haired woman, obviously of Scan-

dinavian descent.*..She has..come, we |.
__hear;

from the Northwest, from a
wood-working shop in'a Norwegian
community. Walking with her is a
‘slim, dark-haired girl, fatigue in every
line of her body. Her long. eleven
hours on the night shift of a Southern

\ cotton mill have exhausted her so that

she can hardly stay awake to study.
Here a group is sitting on the grass,
with books and papers, engaged in a
violent discussion of social philoso-
phies. They are garment workers and
milliners from New York ahd Phila-
delphia, many of them of Jewish de-
scent, originally from Russia or
Poland. Struggling for years to, edu-
cate themselves in night schools or
evening classes, the Summer School
seems almost_a miracle, and the Qux-
‘ury of sfudying in the daytime” too
good to be true. To these workers
from the noisy atmosphere of the mod-
ern factory, and the constant roar of
city streets, the Bryn Mawr campus
seems unbelievably quiet. ‘Taking a
walk on the quiet grass is'‘the thing I
enjoyed’ most those first days,” said
‘one student. To all, the beauty ‘of
the campus in June is overwhelming.
They have no words to express what
they feel.

School Is Crowded

It’ is probable this year that the
School will be crowded to capacity.
The Admissions Committee has ac-
cepted one hundked and thirty-four ap-
plicants. . This number was enrdlled
because usually about thirty withdraw
before the School opens, leaving ap-
proximately one hundred: in attendance.
Since 1928 most industrial workers
have been unemployed for the greater
part of each year. Short seasons or
no seasons ‘at all have prevailed in

‘graphical background,

ment before classes begin. On Satur-
day morning, June thirteenth, the
formal opening. of the School will be
held—an occasion at which all Bryn
Mawr College students and faculty are
welcome. In the afternoon the stu-
dents will be introduced to a series of
psychological tests, and urged to take
them: in the spirit of a game, rather
than‘as an ordeal. These tests, worked
out by the Psychology Department of
the Summer School for four years, are
adapted to the lack of formal school-
ing of this industrial group. The series
has proved effective as a guide for
grouping adult workers in classes—a
grouping made nn Ber difficult by
differences in schooling, age, geo-
industrial ex-
perience, and labor affiliations. Last
year as a result of the tests, it seemed
necessary: to shift only two or three
students from one class to another,
instead of about twenty, as in former
years. The students come out’ from
the tests bewildered,. but-in-good-spir-
its. “They havé met their first ob-
stacle, and have proved themselves
ready for the “next.

Students Need Rest

Medical gxaminations are continued
during the first week of the School.
Such examinations -are given even
though every student has also been
examined before she is aecepted for
the term. Our physician last year
reported that she would like to put
the whole school to bed for the first

Writing next year, but stedents— may
plan to take the course in 1932-33.
Courses in Philosophy and Psychology

-The work in Philosophy and Psy-
chology is being reorganized. In Psy-
chology there will be two new. ad-
vanced courses: Abnormal Psychology,
given by Dr. Leuba in the first semes-
ter; a Systematic Survey of-the-Main
Types of Psychological Theory, given
by Dr. Helsor in the second semester.
Will meet at 11 Monday to Friday.

The course An Mental Tesfs given
by Dr. Rogers has been made part of
the second year work and will follow
the course in Experimental Psy-
chology. It will be given at 12 o’clock
in the second semester.

A*«half-unit—course, the Motivation
of Action, will be given as a part of
the Second Year course by Dr. Turner,
recently appointed to the Psychology
Department. Will meet Tuesdays and
Fridays at 12 throughout the year.

In Philosophy the course in Logic
will be given throughout the year as a
half-unit course. Mr. Weiss, who has
specialized in the. field of Logic, has

given the following description of thé

course: The first part of the course
will be devoted to a study of the tra-
ditional Aristotelian logic. In the lat-
ter part, the student will be introduced
to modern symbolic logic and the
problem of scientific method. If this
course is elected in the first semester
it must be continued in the second.
Mr. Nahm is giving his course in
Aesthetics again throughout the year
as an advanced course. The -Depart-
ment of Philosophy wishes advanced
students of art and literature to take
advantage of this course, which will be
open to them without the usual pre-
requisites.
‘Advice for Underclassmen ‘
After the lists of new courses had
been read-.Mrs. Manning gave. the
Sophomores and Freshmen ‘some bits
of advice. Its -a rule of the college
that every Sophomore shall choose a
major subject before the end of her
second year’s work. Even though

many students are undecided what. to].

major in at this time, still one effort

of choice must be made afd the head,’

of at least one department approached.
When it is possible, it would be advis-
able for the student herself to decide
on a major subject and go to see the
head of that department without first
consulting Mrs. Manning, but this
offer of the Dean’s does not apply. to

very important that eyery Freshman
should plan to’ finish her science and
literature requirements by the end of
her Sophomore year, as present ex-

amples of whining Sophomores and
Juniors will argue. The class of °33,
continued Mrs. Manning, should be a
warning to all this year’s Freshmen
not to do too much next year. Fresh-
men should plan to take not more than
one second-year course next year. One
of the main reasons for reducing the
requirements for a degree to fifteen
units was to enable the Sophomores to
take only a three and a half unit
schedule, and there are*a great many
very conyenient combinations whereby
just three and a half. units can be suc-
cessfully planned.

The History of Art Department es-
pecially wants second year students to
elect Art. of the Far East in which
course the work will be more novel

than others. |

The Dean’s office is expecting, when
the average number of hours of the
undergraduate is handed in, to cut
down the reading in those departments
which demand the most time. Pre-
viously the combination of a heavy
laboratory and reading schedule has
caused much distress, so one should
be careful to pick those courses which
will not cause that congestion which
always occurs between Thanksgiving
and Christmas.

if wise and well-dirécted,’we can help

Sects Defined

A discussion of the service was held
in the Common Room. It was excep-
tionally well-conducted, the many and

varied questions asked Mr. Van Dusen}

being, if one excepts “Are there people
without souls?” not only relevant but

and compactness of Mr. Van ‘Dusen’s

brevity of time, in a far from super-

pressed with. his one-sentence disposal
of the question of sect, that old devil
which has caused so much strife. Sect,
he said, should represent the major
types of temperament, and people
should find their several ways into
them.

Concerning the matter of honor to
one’s parents, Mr. Van Dusen was
led to say that existence in its highest
sense curtailed the placing, of one’s,

and loneliness are common to all with
certain phases’ of development. If we
have weathered these triumphantly, we
know that life cannot hurt us.

As to Christ’s extremely realistic at-
titude in
“Judge not,

judged,”

that ye may not be
or

“Be ye as wise as serpents, but harm-

Mr. Van Dusen ascribed this to
Christ’s knowledge of human nature,
for which it is inevitable that it seek
its own interests. In many cases, such
as the struggle for universal peace,
the use of the head as well as the
heart might bring about the end de-
sired.

When questionéd as to the intrinsic
truth of religion, regardless of its value,
Mr. Van L[usen said that intellectual
and. aesthetic interests inevitably lead
on to a consideration of the ultimate
realities _and_ these, he..believes, lie. in
the realm of religion.

: Important Speakers
Discuss Negro Status

(CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK)
Mr. Locke _

The migrations of the Negro in. the
Jast fifteen years havg been the impetus
The
Negro has always been the most pain-

for his-new cultural development.

‘fully self- ~conscious element in Ameri-

can society. ‘This. self-consciousness

was expressed in many forms during

the ‘latter half of the anti-slavery
movement.. Reconstruction, however,
brought social throttling. The intelli-
gent Negro of the Nineties was de-
pressed and resentful, bitter and cyni-
cal.

In the decade-of about 1915- 1925, the
poems of Claude McKay, Fenton John-
ston and others led to a change in
Negro morale. A new proud, hopeful

- self-consciousness was initiated. It has
led to significant contributions to
American art by Negroes. Twenty
or thirty years from now it will be felt
in religious, economic and political de-
velopment, the result~ of the race
patriotism it is engendering. Negro
business functions on the basis of race
loyalty.

The Negro’s lack of prestige has re-
sulted from his position as an exploited
laborer and from the fact that he has
been thought of as a man. without a
culture. The latter fact is becoming
untrue. The value of Negro art has
long been recognized in liberal journals
Whether it will filter down to the
masses is a question. One must re-

_member, however, that Negro art like
all art is best when it is beyond cate-
gory, when jit is universal.

3 “Alice Dunbar—Nelson——-—_—

The subject of Mrs. Nelson’s talk

was the Negro Woman Worker in In-.

dustry: Present conditions of Negro
women labor are acute. If the Negro
man is the’ last hired and first fired, the
Negro woman’s position is even below
that of the Negro man. In 1929 a
United States labor: bulletin covering
fifteen States was published on the -sub-
‘ject of Negro woman labor. It showed
the presence of women: workers in
dirty, dangerous jobs, under poor
supervision, poorly paid, working long
hours under strain. The medium wage
is $9 a week in most States, $6 in four
States. The highest medium wage was
in the meat packing trade; a $19.50
wage followed the award of the Labor
Dispute Arbitration Board. A not un-
usual wage is the weekly $5.05 medium
paid tobacco packers’ in’ Arkansas.
Piece work pays slightly better than
time work but at the cost of much ner-
vous strain. , Hours are long, from
forty-four hours a week in New Jer-
sey, to sixty hotirs a week in Alabama.

An overwhelming majority of col-
ored women workers are married or
have been married. The majority are
under\30 years, 13 per cent. are under
20, 15 per cent. are 60 years or over.
People complain of a high labor turn-
over of colored women. The_ 1929
study showed that only 21.5 per cent.
stay in one position less than a year;
28.4 per cent. stay in one position for
_five years or longer.

A few colored women are pioneers in
the’ field of skilled work. “They must

be more reliable and skillful than’ white

women to succeed.

The loss of jobs by Negro men in
the present depression has laid the
women open to further exploitation be-
cause. of their great need for- jobs.
Overwork on the part of Negro women
has as its most most serious aspect its
effect on the next generation.

Philip Randolph

The needs of the worker, colored and
white; are a job, good conditions, and
economic power. Unemployment; resid-
ual, seasonal, cyclical (this is due to
underconsumption due to maldistribu-
tion of income), and technilogical, all
deprive him of his job. The “color
line” in industry keeps the colored
worker from almost all but unskilled
or semi-skilled jobs. Long,hours of
work diminish his opportunity for
leisure in which to enjoy the good
things of life. The pullman porter



works on the. average 400~ hours ay in-the-world today:

month. Lack of organization keeps his
bargaining power slight. A unified
trade union system is the only effective
remedy. One gets in this world only
what one takes. Industrial, not merely
craft, unions are needed. ;-Egoism in
leaders restrains amalgamation. Racial

‘lines can only weaken the labor move-
ment.

There is a crying need at present for
education of workers, white and black,
in- economics. Through institutions
like Brookwood Labor College and the
Rand School -of. Social Science and
through, popular adult education the
workings of industry and the evolution
of society must be taught.

The healthiest unions are those or-
ganized like the Pullman Porters, by
and for their members. Unrecognized
by the company though it be, it is
stronger’ than the company-imposed
‘union of conductors. It is a member
of the Federation of Labor.

Political action through an American
labor party should supplement union
action. '

Mr. Mathews :

The domination of the colored peo-
ples by the white capitalist class is no
less arrogant for being disguised under
‘such phrases as “the white man’s bur-
den.” It must end. Whether the end
will come as the result of cataclysmic
events or an evolutionary growth is a
question. Many doubt a peaceful solu-
tion especially in view of.such tenden-
cies in the solution of the problem as
were shown gt the National Student
Faculty Conference at~ Détroit ‘last
Christmas. The issue of the confer-
ence was the segregation of Negroes
by-a-hotel,.invyolving a breach of con-
tract... After must debate segregation
was overwhelmingly accepted.

An almost universal tendency of the
whites was a refusal to think for them-
selves and a dependence on the opin-
ions of the Negroes.’ It would have
sufficed for them to have consulted
human decency, sper

Another tendency was toward a
“Sterile objectivity,” the “scientific
method.” By this method one makes
-|no—decision-tauntil all the ‘‘facts”
collected, in other words, never. It is
necessary to analyze eertainly --but
equally necessary to stop analysis and
act.

A third tendency was. toward dis-
missing all those opposing segregation
as a radical fringe. Rather they are the
sound core that make for social prog-
ress...We_ need a militant spirit oppos-
ing segregation or at least toleration
of opposition.

There is a great possibility that the
race problem will lead to violence on a
large scale. Russia is intensely inter-
ested in American race relations. Rev-
olution may come from Moscow. We
have not. unlimited time to deal -with
the problem.._We —mustarrive—at—a
constructive solution of the problem in
order that the choice be not left to
those less qualified to do it.

. Dr. DuBois

The American has a tendency to slur
over problems and then leave them.
Slavery did not end with emancipation
but agitation against it did.

The -question is often asked, “What
do you Negroes expect to get?” Are
Negroes to be absorbed or emigrate or
exist in America as a separate race?
Whatever happens the problem of what
is to be the American attitude toward
colored peoples will not be settled, only
shifted, perhaps, to other parts of the
world.

The American attitude toward the
race problem is a pessimistic one; the
colored attitude is not. Colored peo-
ples know that eventually they will
triumph from sheer force of numbers.

fair play (and not in loaded dice) can-
not believe in continued white domina-
tion. : os =a
The real problem of the future is
how readjustment is tobe brought
about with least cost. Most colored
people do not ask wealth, luxury,

of the white upper class. They donot
ask the right to self-respect and to
some léisure in which to enjoy culture.
Lower class whites are asking the same
things. There is a danger that these
laboring classes may some day not be
stupid enough to ignore their similarity
of interest, Negroes are fighting their
way into trade unions because their
similarity ‘of skill cannot be ignored.

cordially the United States is despised

Another defense is that of the Asso-

dean expeditions, Dr. ‘Haldane and
Dr. Cullis: have experimented in low-
pressure chambers. “They found that
at low pressure the? were unable to
do even simple addition and: that they
cling to one fixed idea. If the carbon
dioxide was. allowed to accumulate
breathing became noticeably hard, but
if it was constantly removed they could
become paralysed without noticing
anything unusual. - Return of high
pressure made their sense of color and
feeling much clearer. Careful ventila-
tion is necessary where gas is being
burned since gas gives off carbon
monoxide. This poison, given off by
the burning coal, is the cause sof so
many deaths in mine explosions, and
is the reason for keeping mice or birds,
more susceptible than we, in sub-
marines and mines.

Professor Leonard Hill proved that
movemert of air is as important as its
proportions. He found that. the air
through which a man worked was as
important to comfort as the air which
he ‘breathed. Women have fewer
colds than men because their clothes
are more open. Professor Hill in-
vented the catathermometer. to record
the rate of cooling of air.

The heart-beat is the best example
of perfectly-timed rest pauses. We do
not worry~ ordinarily about our pos-
tural rhuscles and so do not rest care-
fully. It has been proved that if stim-
ulus is sent down the nerves to these
muscles they will hold up our limbs
indefinitely, but if we faint our muscles
immediately lose their strength.. The
more. cramped our position is the
longer - we should rest. From ‘ this
there is fast growing in England the
custom of pausing for rest and food in’

the middle of the morning and after-|-~-f}

noon.
Rhythm decreases. fatigue and in-

Social justice, cannot be procured,

but does not ‘give money to outside
concerns. The money saved by cor-
rection of bad conditions, if applied to
the institute, would run it for’a year.
This shows that where little imperfec-

tions are not noticed thé repetition day

after day mounts up to large waste.



Fifteen Years Ago

Sun Shines on May Day Gambols

The weather May Day was the best
in years. Nineteen sixteen is to be
congratulated on its\luck in this re-
spect and its good management in
winding its May Pole. The old In-
dian necklace which President Thomas
gave the Senior ‘President, C. Kellen,
has been worn by a princess and is
supposed to possess magic charms.

Even Class Again Rolls Hoops

Preserving unbroken the record of
the. even classes, 1916 rolled their
hoops after: the fourth French and
German orals last Saturday. The last
odd class. which could not roll hoops
was the red class, 1913:

In the German oral, which ‘came
second, two persons were called back

to read again and:the suspense of the

Seniors, sittirig with their hoops on
Senior Steps, was—beginning-to~infect
the crowd when the Sophomore runner
brought the glad word, relayed down
through Taylor, of “Passed.” 9

Later, after the rolling of the hoops,
it was Jearned that E. Washburn, ’16,
taking the: Orals Saturday for the first
time, had passed them both. As Miss
Washburn is technically 1917, 1916
could have rolled their hoops even if
she had failed.

Editorial: At last a logical method
for awarding the Helen Ritchie Me-
morial Prize has-been devised. To
discover which one of the Seniors has
the finest character, high courage,
faithfulness and joyousness, is a diffi-

cult“task-at-best-and~heretofore,-when-}

the decision has rested only in the

-hands of a committee composed of

President. Thomas, the senior warden
and the presidents of Self-Goverment,
the Athletic Association, and the Un-
dergraduate Association, the choice
has seldom. been satisfactory to the
rest of the undergraduates. This year
the Seniors, who might reasonably be
expected to know which of their num-
ber most deserved the prize, expressed
their choice by vote, the results of
which were given to the committee to
aid them in their decision. Though
their vote is in no way final, it is the
expression of an opinion that might be
respected, and therefore be of consider-
able assistance whenever agreement is
difficult. This seems to be a fairly
reasonable ‘solution .of the difficulty,
but would certainly be helped by add-
ing the presidents of the Christian
Association and the Senior Class to the
committee.

At the “Second. Symposium of Con-
temporary Poets,’ held recently in
New York,.Theresa Helburn, ’08, read

awarded the Helen Ritchie Memorial
Prize for high courage and faithful-
ness.

‘Mother Mine’ Given
By College Maids



On Tuesday,’ April 28, Mother Mine,
the “production of the maids’ of the. col-
lege, ended its successful run. A$ origi-
nally planned, the season was to be cut
short in its prime, for the first presen-
tation, at the -Methodist Church, Bryn .
Mawr, on the fourth of March, was also
to be the last. But popular demand came
to the aid of economic balance, the the-
atre-going public, and the Church, whose
material benefit was the primary cause
of thé production; the play was taken
on the road, and reached the M. E.
Church dt Ardmore: March 26. But, .
though flushed with success, the players
did not forget their-old home town, and
were rewarded by the large audience
which turned out to witness the end of
the grand tour. The Bryn Mawr Bap-
tist Church was packed to the roof. by
the time,the actors arrived (after: a
slight delay of one hour) and—tripped
gaily down the aisle—to the back of the
stage—and when the curtain finally rose
(it always happens sooner or later) there
was an anticipatory burst of applause,

The first act—also the second and the
third—are— laid.
Peasley, for she is Mother Mine. At
least, she has some promising symptoms,
as, for example, that of being addressed
as such. Moreover, she is one of*those
little women who has always longed for
a son, and when the poor young runaway,
victim of a false accusation, falls into
her front parlor, she accepts him with
more than resignation, and persuades
him to stay. But he cannot yet rest
secure in mammy’s arms; several things
turn up to disturb him, one of them no
other than a constable who has sniffed
‘the trail all the way from Boston. Mrs.
Peasley, however, succeeds in saving her
lamb by putting the bad man off the
track, despite his size. Then; of course,
Jerry is accused~of the -robbery~in=the~
cigar store, but Mother Mine just knows
he didn’t do it. She is even willing
practically to give the old farm away to
a dirty schemer in order to save Jerry
from being turned over to the police. .
And we know he’s innocent, possibly
because we're told that the son of the
owner of the store took the money to
elope with his sweetheart,.the daughter
of his father’s enemy. Strange as it may
seem, everything comes out all right in
the end, with Jerry vindicated of both
charges, and able to return to his job- in
Boston, to which we ‘have every indica-
tidn that he will take a certain young
lady and—Mother Mine!

The performance was characterized
throughout by the extreme ease of the
actors. Such details as the occasional
absence of props were treated with ad-
mirable nonchalance. ‘When Mrs. Peas-
ley found the cupboard alarmingly bare,
at least as far as the necesgary letter was
concerned, not at all surprised she quietly
procured the missing document from the
wings. eee

This ease gave extreme naturalness to
the acting, and allowed Catherine _ Win-
ston in the title role to show very real
feeling without danger of overdoing the
part. . She deceived the constable with
such subtlety that the irony of. her mis-
guided efforts was doubly forceful; for

Vassar Triumphs Over
B. M. Tennis Team, 4-1

Saturday, May 2, Bryn Mawr played
exhibition tennis matches with Vassar
at Vassar. Though the weather was

cold and damp, with a drizzling rain,
there was quite a gallery to watch the
matches. May 1 had been Founder's
Vassar and many alumnae
stayed over for the tennis.

Day at

The matches were well worth watch-
ing.. Margaret Haskell’ played No. 1
for Bryn. Mawr and kept up a steady
‘game against Teddy Campbell,. Long
graceful rallies and. deuce games were
characteristic of their match; Each
player got a set and Miss Campbell
had to fight hard and bring a+ chop
stroke into play to get the third set
from Miss Haskell. The latter is ‘to
be commended on her steady playing
and after more practice we can hope
to see her “win against Swarthmore or
Merion Cricket Club.

A.* Lee Hardenbergh, captain for
Bryn Mawr, played a very quick game
against Mary Lee Hutchins, captain
for Vassar and her cousin.
well paired. and the match was a de-
lightful one to watch./ Miss Harden-
bergh won, and they stopped, only to
meet again in the doubles.

K. Boyden, one of Mrs. Wightman’s
proteges, played’ a three-set match
against Margaret Collier. Both girls
played a pretty game, Miss Collier
playing steadily, and Miss Boyden
doing especially well at the net. The
latter -wonyfor-Vassar;

Sylvia Bowditch, manager for Br
Mawr,, played No. 4. She was beaten
by Ruth Endicott at" ené
second set.
joy the game so much that they con-
tinued to. play purely for their own
amusement after the match was, over. ”

Irene Allen joined A. Lee Harden-
bergh to play doubles against Mary Lee
Hutchins dnd K. Boyden. Though
neither team had, played together be-
fore, the match was very pretty to
watch. K.-Boyden brought her. net
stroke into play to great advantage,
and the captains again showed their
ability to return balls from most any
spot on the court. Irene Allen did not
play as well as she has in practice, but
her -form--is--very~ good and~she~ will
probably do better after a little more
experience. Vassar won the doubles,
6-4, 6-0, making a total score of 4-1
in favor of Vassar.

Polly Converse, Betty’s sister and
Freshman tennis manager, provided
the players with delicious orangeade
and refreshed them for their long, wet
drive home.

Campbell, Vassar, defeated Haskel,
B. M., 6-2, 4-6, 7-5; Hutchins, Vassar,
lost to Hardenbergh, B. M., 6-3, 7-5;
Boyden, Vassar, defeated Collier, B.
M., 6-3, 5-7, 6-0; Endicott, Vassar, de-
feated Bowditch, B. M., 6-0, 6-0;

Glee Club Presents

‘Mikado’ This Week

mous conductors, including Arthur

Nikisch, and accepted as a work of
genius by
musicians,

As in the case of most of. the other
operas, a topical event was the basis
taken. by Gilbert and. Sullivan. Jap-
anese art was a fad of the time, and
through the opening of a show Jap-
anese village inhabited by live impor-
tations such as jugglers and tea girls,
the taste had been extended to the
general public. But only where the
actual stageset is concerned, is ‘The
Mikado” Japanese. The music, with
the exception of one tune, could hardly
be anything but English. As for the
characters, even down -to their names,
they are nothing but comie- English
types in Japanese clothing. :

These ‘types the present cast seems
more than capable to represent. Each

the principal professional



ity—one should also say agility—seems
to possess a fine for comedy.
The Ko-Ko gives promise of being an
inspired departure from tradition.

If Messrs. Gilbert and. Sullivan took
great pains with their production, even
going so far’as to obtain the assistance
of Japanese’ artists, the Gleé Club has

may not be Japanese, but with the help
of Mr. Willoughby and Mr. Alwyne,
she has coached the company in

1is is the seventh time he has worked
on the Glee Club’ performances, and
it is his second time on the “Mikado,”
which: was given in 1926, in the good
old days (fully two years past) when
the gym was the scene for all festivi-
ties. Yet the most outstanding fea-
ture of the 1926 production of the
“Mikado” seems to have been the*set-
ting. We cannot help speculating,
perhaps.a little smugly, upon the effect
which a setting as good, if not better;
will produce upon the audience of
Goodhart. As -a matter of fact, on the
question of the whole performance, we
cannot resist anticipating and we ex-

the prize a second. time, ¢ with una-
nimity, and with

Yet sure as we

with enthusiasm,

are of the rightness of our choice we
have asked the confirming words of

four out of many eminent Americans, |’

four who have not only known Miss
Addams’ work but Miss Addams her-
self and who, in virtue of their own
contribution to American life, have
proved their competence to estimate
hers.
Speakers Introduced
“Frances Perkins, Industrial: Com-
missioner..of the State of New York,
has introduced--into- the.management
of a great State department a new
spirit of humanity and care of individ-
uals, especially those injured or dis-
abled in the processes of industry. As
head of the New York State Labor
Department she is a member of Gov-
ernor Roosevelt’s official cabinet and
thus in touch with the formulation of
State policies. -In her efficient manage-
ment of one of the most important State

departments she has so exemplified the |.

“spirit Of co-operation that she has
gained the confidence and support of
all classes with whom her office deals,
that is, labor, employers and the gen-
eral public.

“Professor John Dewey came:to the
University of Chicago in 1894 when
Hull House was five years old, and he
brought the fresh wind into his class-
rooms. He came into close association
and friendship with Miss Addams; he
gave courses of lectures at Hull House,
he was her consultant in many plans.
Now, the dean of American philoso-
phers, -he remains as concerned as
Miss. Addams herself witheducation
and politics, with every problem of
peace which Miss Addams reminds us
is ‘not the absence of war but the
nurture of human life’,

“To Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, her-
self a member of the Committee of
Award, we turn at once for an estimate
of those of her~contemporaries who
bore the heat and burden of the day
_in the effort to obtain suffrage for
women. -She watched’ them all under
the stress of vast indifference, of bitter
opposition, of deliberate delay. And
She watches Miss Addams now, too,
in a not dissimilar crusade for peace
and freedom and international under-
standing—an attempt, to: quote Ram-
say MacDonald, ‘to transform the men-
tality of the people from a dependence
on military security to a dependence
upon political security, rooted in pub-
lic opinion and enforced by a sense of
justice in a civilized word’.

“Miss Grace Abbott is a Middle
Westerner from Nebraska, the child
of Hull_House both actually and spir-
itually. \Nine years ago she succeeded
another Hull House resident,
Julia Lathrop, as Chief of the United
States Children’s Bureau. In ‘her con-

“duct of this widely beloved Govern-}%

Miss | t

Coming from ordinary
middle class parents in an ordinary
Middle Western home, she read Tol-

stoi, visited him and moved to Hull

House on Halstead Street in Chicago.
In her. settlement house there she has
worked for and inspired others to work
for great programs of social “reform.
She has used constructively her powers
of insight and of sympthy for lowly
and outcast, her strength of character
and her intelligence... Having a quick
understanding of the uses to which
government may be put, she made
women wartit the suffrage that they
might: use it. She has showed the
yworld the cultural value of the immi-
grant whom all despised. Today she
stands without bitterness and without
vanity, laudable for her humanity as
well as her scholarly and _ scientific
achievement, loveable as, well as ad-
mirable. say
Friendliness of Hull House

“Miss Addams has been in the van
of every movement for social progress
inthis country,” . said . Professor
Dewey. She has~ sponsored public
forums.at Hull House where every. one
may have his say, Her social studies
preceded the introduction of Depart-
ments of Sociology ‘in the colleges. She
has been active in training social work-
ers, in fighting for public health, in
encouraging more intelligent treatment
by the tourts of the juvenile offender.
She has done much to develop the cul-
ture-of-foreigners,- to prevent. the split
between immigrants and their children
which is so common, to preserve their
self-respect. She has never allied her-
self with any political “ism” but she
has always kept her faith in democracy.
Finally, she has kept Hull House, with
all its efficiency, a friendly place. To
the city Miss Addams, herself a
Friend, has brought the friendliness ‘of
the country.

Miss Addams as a suffrage crusader
and. as a persistent advocate of peace. She
described a meeting at Hull House
and told of the confidence in peace
which directly preceded the world war.

Miss Grace Abbott gave a more in-
timate picture of Hull House. “She
told of entertaining, of the times Miss
Addams used to give up her bed to
unexpected guests, of Hull House’s in-
timate contact with the neighborhood.
“I am sure,” she said, “that the $5000
of the award will be an excuse for
spending money. to -do»extravagantly
kind things for years. to come.”

With regard to fiction, the choice is

Activities of Summer
School Are Described

week, to rest before classes began.

Many students show signs of chronic
fatigue, or of industrial disease fol-
lowing years of work. Irregular meals,
insufficient food, night work, trouble
with back or feet account for many

other bad conditions. Every effort is

made during the two months to raise
the health standard of the group, and
the results are usually encouraging.
The. sad factor in the situation is, how-
ever, that on returning to the factory
under the same bad conditions, many
of these symptoms of ill health be-

come evident again,
‘After.a quiet-Sunday of unpacking
and getting ‘acquainted, the students

liminary discussion groups with the
instructors to whom they have been
assigned. The School is divided on the
basis of the psychological tests into
five units for instruction. Two or
three instructors in each unit work
together to plan a unified program for
the eighteen or twenty students in
their classes. Every unit offers iti-
struction in Economics and in- English,
the ‘latter including literature, compo-
sition and public’ speaking. In gome
units science is the third subject stud-
ied, in others history or psychology.
This year the main theme for all the
units will .be Unemployment,” the
topic of most vital concern to every
worker. This topic will be used to
bind together instruction in all the.
units, serving to focus the discussion
from time to time during the summer.
instruction will be on “the ‘problems of
internationalrelations, the worker and
government, labor history, the develop-
ment of the Labor Movement, and the
question of various solutions proposed
for our industrial distress.
Discussions Informal

As the students go into the class-
rooms in Taylor and the Library for
those first discussions, they realize at
once that they have nothing to fear.
The teachers are friendly, and have all
had previous contact with industrial
groups. This makes it possible for
every instructor to realize what is in
the minds of the students and what
their experience has been. The class-
rooms themselves are all provided with
trestle tables, with no sigh of formal
desk or platform. The instructors,
twelye of them this. year, with five
assistants, come for the most part from
colleges and universities, with the ex-
ception of Bryn Mawr. The Bryn.
Mawr faculty during the first year of
the school requested that they should
not be asked to teach in the Summer
School, All instructors are paid an
average summer school salary. The
attitude of the students toward their
instructors was well expressed by one
worker who when urged to do more
reading replied, “Why should I read?
I understand every word you say in
class, and if I didn’t, I would see you
on the campus and come up and ask.”

Beginning to study after: ten or fif-
teen or twenty years without syste-
matic instruction presents many diffi-
culties to every industrial worker. At
first she is bewildered, and afraid she
will never be able to learn. Then with
relief she comes to understand that
nothing beyond her power is expected
of her. The.first discussions are con-
cerned with those every-day experi-
ences familiar to every worker—how
she found her first job, whether or not
she has been employed, what her hours
of work and her wages have been,
whether or not a trade union has been
organized in her shop. She finds, as



is less than we would like:to have, and
the undergraduate who would like to
contribute funds will be received with
something like parental affectidn.
Those who think the committee is
made up of faculty fogies because we
don’t try to assume the position of a

are ready by Monday morning for pre- |]

. { -
one worker said, that she “has béen
living economics every day and didn’t
know it.” Gradualiy from these famil-
iar experiences she ventures into new
fields of knowledge; through classroom
‘discussion, short reading assignments,
written’ work, and public speaking.
She realizes that almost without know-
ing it she is acquiring new facts, and
new understanding, related at every
point to her every-day life at home and
in the factory. She rejoices to find
that what she is learning has value
for her, in its relation to the problems
she will meet when she goes home
from the School. To miss a class
through’ illness is. a calamity. For
eight weeks, though nothing is said
about attendance, no student is absent
from the classroom, or would wish to
omit one of those precious hours of
instruction.

Friction Demands Tolerance
**Once she feels at home in her own
unit, and loses fear of her classes, each
student must also adjust herself in the
life of the School. This is more diffi-
cult, for with a grdup so varied in
opinions: friction is almost inevitable.
Here are girls of conservative opinion,
pointed out by a radical as “those
people with few ideas, carefully . ex-
pressed.” On the other side of the
fence is the radical herself, and here
again the conservative’s definition’ may
be quoted, “‘someone going” to -ex-
tremes, continuing constantly, annoy-
ing others.” Between these two oppo-
site sets of opinions are many shades
of differences in the school. It is safe
to say that no two students agree on
anything. Feelings are hurt, preju-
dices ruthlessly torn to pieces, ttadi-
tions -held lp ‘for analysis.and some-
times for ridicule. To many sensi-
tive girls it seems impossible to live
among such conflicts for even two
‘months.
others in the school, a student must
call on all her resources of tolerance
and understanding, be willing to accept
new facts as they are proved, and real-
ize that her narrow experience alone
does not represent the whole story of
industry.

As a-community also, the School dis-
covers that it must adjust itself:
Every year-the School is organized as
a whole, through a school meeting.
Faculty and students have separate of-
ganizations, and meet to discuss their
own problems. A Council is elected,
from faculty, students and administra-
tive staff, to act as an executive com-
mittee for the summer, A proctor is
elected to represent éach‘ hall of resi-
dence. This ‘organization, completely
self-governed, discusses the simple
‘regulations which students have found
necessary each summer, and meéts
new problems as they arise. The reg-
ulations usually concern going off the
campus, alone after dark, wearing a
skirt when going to the town, regis-
tration of. overnight absences, and pre-
cautions against fire.- As such persons
as chaperones have never existed for
industrial workers, social relations with
men are regulated only by the decision
that students go out with men--only
on free afternoons and evenings, and
not on the nights When classes or
study periods are arranged. Men are
asked to call for the students at the
School, and bring them back later to
their dormitories. In. practice these
simple rules have proved hardly ‘neces-'
sary. Except in rare instances, every
student in the School has come to
Bryn Mawr to study, and resents too
many interruptions in her study ‘time.
The few men with whom some stu-
dents become acquainted practically
join the School for the summer, com-
ing to all meetings and forums, join-
ing discussion groups on the lawn, and
attending school parties.

Council Discusses Problems

To listen to the discussion. of the
school Council each week during the
summer gives one an intimate’ view of
school problems. The questions
brought up, while vital to the industrial
worker, would seem unfamiliar to the
undergraduate observer. Shall a group
of garment workers whose uniot is on

and the time it would take from regu-
lar classroom work. The program of
speakers is under-fire at another meet-
ing; the contention, of some members
being that while’ certain topics have
been presented clearly, other speakers
have left the elementary students be-
wildered; misunderstanding is ram-
pant, and something must be done to
arrange further discussion. “Too
many conservative speakers,” remarks
one Council member. “Too many
radicals,” answers another. The Coun-
cil turns to the health program and
recreation. Shall the regular rest hour
after luncheon, long recommended by
the doctor, be established, and could it
ever be enforced? Shall the unit study-
ing international relations be allowed
to stage an elaborate scene, represent-
ing the League of Nations? .

These and many other questions
occupy the deliberations: of the Coun-

cil for an hour or so every week during

the summer. In case of’a tie in the
vote of the Council, or a serious divi-
sion of opinion on a matter. of school
policy, the whole school-is called to a
meeting, often stormy and protracted.
If the decision of the school meeting
seems, in the opinion of the director,
to endanger the welfare of the school,
itself, or threaten its very existence,
she has the power to suspend action
until the joint committee, the Summer

‘School Board of Directors, can meet.

Never in the ten years of the school
ha& such suspension of action become
necessary. In every crisis, full and
free discussion. by the whole school
has brought about a_ well-considered
decision, safeguarding the rights of
each indivfdual and each group, and
at the same time taking into account
the welfare of the school, in its larger
aspects.

Movement Is Experimental .

As the undergraduates of the college|—
know, two places on the staff of the
school are open each year for Bryn
Mawr Sophomores or Juniors.as rec-
reation assistants. Four other under-
graduates come from other colleges, to
complete this group. These assistants
take charge of the swimming pool,
teach tennis, act as chauffeurs for of-
fice errands, help in the library and
work on the program of music, festi-
vals and dramatics. In addition each
undergraduate is asked to become a
member of one of the instruction units
and attend .one course’ regularly.
Weekly conferences, uSually combined
with a picnic supper, are arranged, in
order to talk over school questions, the
labor aspects of the school, or the edu-
cational method.

So the Summer School goes on
through the eight weeks; a busy -place,
with the atmosphere of freedom essen-
tial to an experiment. As it is now
ten years since President, Thomas
started the: first Summer School it is
perhaps not too much to say that the
School is: no longer an experiment.
Three other summer schools modeled
on.the Bryn Mawr plan have been es-
tablished by other groups, and a win-
ter school of eight months, following

‘logically on the summer course, is now

two years old. But in spite of these
developments, the whole movement is
in the widest sense of’ the word still
an experiment. Each year students
going back to the industries of the
United States put the school to the
test, meeting industrial situations with
new-~knowledge, carrying on the adven-
ture of education in their,.own commu-
nities. A chain of -ssummiér schools,
using. empty ¢ollege» and university
buildings throughout the countty, and
a network.of evening classes for work-
ers, are-not too much to expect from
the future of this movement. Clerical
workers, and~-domestic ‘workers are
even now clamoring for admission.
Men engaged in many trades are bé-
ginning” ‘to realize the advantages of
the resident school over the evening
class, and are asking help. Funds, it
is true, are lacking for any extensive
development. But determination on
the part of the workers is not lack-
ing, nor growing interest on the part
of college women. With these two

in the Summer School for the past ten

hold?

Swarthmore Changes Work

Swarthmore, Pa.—Important changes
in the. alignment of divisions of honors

A part of the new change provides that
honors students who do not receive any
degree of honors in the examinations at
the end of their senior year shall take a
comprehensive examination set by the
departments in question. If they pass
this examination, they shall graduate in
