Self-Government Board

‘Opens Fiery Discussion
At a meeting of the
ment Association, heldsi
Auditorium
October 31,
was removed fram the book of reso-
lutions, with the? understanding that a
substitution be made at the next meet-
in@. This article reads:““The Associa-
tion does not allow its members to use
fermented beverages. on the campus
‘except for medicinal. purposes.”

The meeting was called and presided
over by O. Stokes, ’30, president of the
association. In receipt of a letter from
Dr. Wagoner,. Associate Physician of
the College, the Associatipn was forced
to take some action on the specific res-
olution cited above. Apparently Miss
Park had written to the infirmary, at
the request of the Self-Government As-

sociation Board, to find out the official

opinion of “fermented beverages” for
medicinal purposes. The reply stated
in no indefinite terms that the infirm-
ary administgation was not in favor of
the last clause of the resolution, as it
does not believe in the beneficial possi-
bilities of alcohol. Consequently, it
‘was very obvious that the reSolution
could not be allowed to stand as it has
for so ‘many years. a ‘A

The -méeting was opened by a mo-
tion to change the clause to read: “The
, Association does not allow its.mem-

, “Hers to use fermented beverages on the
_campus.”’. Then the discussion began;

a good deal of it was irrelevant, and.

a good deal of it was non- -constructive;
it served chiefly to demonstrate, the
fact that the feeling on this subject in
the college is very strong. The gen-
‘eral tendency of the stand taken by the
opposition was that alcoholic bever-
ages had always proved to be of
medicinal value, and that~they~ were
completely unwilling to passa dictum
which would: prevent their usage;. any
ruling which would permit its use in
exceptional_cases—would have—to—pass
the infirmary, and would therefore be
too complex an arrangement. Behind
‘this attitude was a_ strong feeling
against the control in the college by a
student ruling of what, up to now, had
been.a personal privilege. It was a
stand taken distinctly for liberty and
the rights of the individual. Points
saying that thé infirmary would next
attempt to. limit the individual’s ciga-
rettes per diem, and her use of aspirin,
all represented this line of thought.

letter of the infirmary. They strongly
advocated Dr. Wagoner’s prescriptions
for all ailments otherwise helped with
“fermented beverages,” and they felt
that the rule of no alcohol on the
“campus was a good one. It would. pre-
vent the stretching of privileges, and
it would avoid much unnecessary com-
plication.

The vote was. finally taken, with a
count of :70 to 74 against’ the motion.
The next idea advariced in the form of
a motion was that the- troublesome
clause be struck completely from the
book of resolutions. This was passed
with a slightly higher majority, on the
understanding that a new resolution be
substituted for the one which was now

to be omitted from the book. Two sug-.

gestions were made for the new clause;
one that it read, “The Prohibition Law
of the United States will be enforced
on the campus,” the other, that the
clause reading “Students staying more
than twenty-five miles away from
Philadelphia shall. be responsible for
not bringing criticism on the college for
their_conduct,” be amended to apply to
the campus and area within the twenty-
five mile limit as well as that without.

It was felt that this latter would
sufhee to cover any cases which might
occur in’ the ‘misuse of alcoholic” bev-
erages.

Fhe meeting was adjourned until
further notice, wheti it is hoped that
the old clause may be replaced by one

. which will answer all. requirements,

which will not be objectionable in the
eyes of--the college infirmary, and
which will, nevertheless, express ‘the
will of the students. of. Bryn Mawi.—

E. Wilson, ’30, Relates Her
Experiences in France

In’ Chapel. Thursday,. October 31,
Miss_Elizabeth Wilson related to the
college the events of a Junior Year
abroad. Miss Carey prefaced the talk
with an apt quotation.

nice joke,” Miss Wilson began, “but it
ceased to be funny, for the idea of say-
ing all’ there was to be said in public
was a little overwhelming; it is’ d¥fffcult
to touch upon all the salient points in
ten minutes.”

The plan itself is that the students
of Bryn Mawr become a part of the

the supervision of the University of
Delaware. .The group leaves in the
sniddie-of- July; théy spend a week ih
Paris and then at Nancy they join a
summer course in. canversational
French, the result being that “at least
we can .ask.for.what~ is vital,”. and
“we've gotten over the awful stage
fright. Our inhibitions vanish on our
return to Paris;.the bright spot about
Nancy is going away.” The only summer
vacation is a week in the Alps; if you
want to travel by yourself, you can do
so provided you have a letter of con-
‘sent from your family; it is easier to
travel in twos than in sixties. Nancy
has some good points after all, for the
group does take some expeditions.

Varsity Defeats Drexel

On Monday, November 4, Varsity
overwhelmed Drexel Institute, 10-0, in
a game which was called on’ account
of rain and darkness. Before the final
wetdown, the field. was in slippery con-
dition, and the struggle to maintain
equilibrium took most of the players’
atention. The playing was slow and
disorganized, as was inevitable, con-
sidering the state of the weather. Vars-
ity’s line-up was slightly changed, the
only new player being Stix, who went
in as center forward. @phe line-up was:

Sunday League Service
Led by Rev. Earp

Strength in Difficulties to Be
Found in Searching God's





Will. |
FAITH MUST SHAPE LIVES :
The service of “the Bryn Mawr

League on Sunday, November 3, in
Goodhart Hall was conducted by Rev.
Ernest C. Earp, rector of the Church
of the Redeemer, Bryn Mawr. Rev.
Earp took for his text ‘Jesus said,
When ye pray say ‘Thy will be done,’ ”’
and urged that we-consider the worts
of Jesus as dynamic and challenging.
Too often we lose their full significance
by. associating them with reSignation
and blind surrender to the superior will
of God. We are apt to feel that we
have no choice in the ordering of our
experiences. We have itten this
submission into our hymns and read
it into the Scriptures. When -Christ’s
prayer for deliverance in Gethesemane
ends with “Thy will. be-done;” He is
not reduéed fo accepting a fate imposed
upon him, as is proved by his glorious
victory; He is rather rising above His

circumstances and controlling them.

The will of God is riot. only to be
endured, it is to be, done, and—the
doing consists in working .as co-part-
ners with Him by: blending our wills
‘with His. We-have overstressed our
struggle with the ills of life, and have
considered it one-sided and .unjust.. We
should turn,from our complaints and
rise to our God-given heritage by
searching out God’s will. Only’ thus
do we find-the strength for the stress
of life which His spirit breathes into
us.

We have also.interpreted “Thy will
be done” as a lauding of humility and
groveling in the dust: But Jesus was
an inspiration to new conceptions of
The doing of
God’s will leads us, not to become
meek, but to make great ventures and’
meet with our inevitable victory in His
strength.

There is increasingly. great power
given us as we learn the will of God.
Niagara Falls were wearing away their
canyon before the first axe was lifted,
and only in the past generation -have
men. learned to apply their mighty
strength. There is just such a force in
us, but how shall we bring its power_in-,
to our lives? We must learn to trust as

guides-our-God-given instincts~and-as=}

pirations, even when we are tempted
to over-emphasize realism.

Much that we attribute to God does
not belong to Him, and we are at fault
m faying our particular difficulties to
Him. ‘The circumstances. of our lives
do not determine them; life indeed has
no character until we give it one. As
circumstances to lis

Graduates Outline
New Tea Program



The “Housewarming” tc&, Thursday,
October 17, in Radnor Hall, marked
the beginning of the custom among the
graduates of Thursday Hall teas, to
which the. faculty. of the college; and
friends of the graduate students have
been invited informally. According to
Dean Schenck such teas are to take
the place of faculty teas of former
years. Groups of the faculty will be
asked to receive and will be assisted by
the graduate members of their depart-
ment. Undergraduate students taking
special honors ‘work in the departments
are also to be invited. The various
graduate groups may invite speakers in
their field to give short informal lec-
tures on the date of their tea at 5 or
5.30. o'clock* -Such speakers would, of
course, be announced in advance.

It is also planned to have at least ‘six
language teas before the Christmas
“holidays, to which all members of the

Varsity Has Off Day
in Germantown Ga





Varsity went down in defeat for the
third time this season in the game with
Germantown Cricket Club on Satur-
day; November 2. The score,:8-2, is
a fair indication of the looseness and
of Varsity’s playing.
The line-up of the first half was little
different from that of last week, Crane
as inner being the only novelty. Vars-
ity as a whole suffered a marked slump
and played slowly and futilely. Even
the backs, who have been the main-
stay of the team for the past two
weeks, had an Off day and were: less
successful than usual in holding their
opponents. The forwards, with the ex-
ception of occasional spurts, were un-
nspiring and uncontrolled in their
game, and they played without. too
careful-regard for their positions. The
hits of both backs and forwards were
invariably. an--asset. to. Germantown.
The bright moments were” painfully
far apart, and the whole contest lacked
color. :

The second half saw radical changes
in Varsity’s line-up and a great im-
provement in the quality of the play.
Longacre and Blanchard shifted so
that the speed of one .and the hard
shots of ‘the other would be more use-
ful. Crane and Longstreth shifted
twice, and Remington went in for
Collier, while Collier ‘took Ullom’s
place on the right. Varsity recovered
some of its speed and pluck of last
week, the Blanchard-Longacre combi-
nation. proving «the brightest spot as
yét discovered among the forwards.
The speed, dodging and directed pass-
ing of the two put life into the game,
although their tendency to play’ on top
of each other was regrettable. The
quickness. of Remington and, the clean-
er playing of the backs in general
added tone to the second half in spite
of an even greater spurt by -German-

town which more than doubled their
‘score.

—-We-can-onty-hope-that Varsity 's’ off
days may be few and that future games
will fulfill the promise that Bryn Mawr
showed last week. The line-up was:

FULL-GROWN: FROM JOVE



Chapel on Tuesday, October 29, was
devoted to an interpretation of gradu-
ate statistics by Miss Schenck. She
opened her speech by an explanation ef
the relation of the four years of Ameri-
can collegiate studies to the more spe-
cialized foreign universities. Since
Bryn Mawr contains in its. graduate
school the elements, which form the es-
sentials in many of the old provincial
universities of Europe, namely facul-
ties. Of sciences and of laws, Bryn
Mawr may rightly be called a univer-
sity college.

The Graduate school this year con-
tains 61 full-time students and 41 part-
time students who are also instructors,
readers, wardens or teachers at the
Fh6rne- School. Of-these 102 gradu-
ate students fifty-nine are living ‘in
Radnor. Their geographical distribu-
tion is very wide, representing twenty-
two States in the United States and
eight foreign cguntries. Pennsylvania
has the. largest contigent with thirty-
one students and New York follows
There are-seven each from
Massachusetts and New Jersey, five
from Ohio, three each from California,
Illinois and Maryland, two. each from
Virginia, Indiana, Nebraska, Connecti-
cut and North Carolina, and one. from
Washington, Oregon, Florida, Michi- .
gan, Texas, Maine, Colorado, Kansas
and Iowa. The foreign countries rep-
‘resented are .Canada and Switzerland
with two. students each, and England;

Scotland, France, Germany, Austria
and Holland with one apiece.

‘INDIVIDUALISM

For the first time in many college
months an issue has been brought to
the fore which is sufficiently im-
portant to arouse the interest and
strong opinions of most of the’ un-
dergraduates. «This is the question
brought..up by. the college Self-
Government Board, on receipt of a
letter from the infirmary. The facts
of the case are stated elsewhere in
this issue of the News. Let us sim-
ply-try.to clarify the issue, and to
state our point of view.

There is some question as to the
objective sought by’ the Board itself
on this question. “Since the letter
came from the infirmary in re-
sponse to an indirect query of the
Board, there:is. every reason to be-
lieve that at one time the Board
considered the ‘medicinal liquor
clause”. in the Self-Gov. resolu-
tions: to be an umnmeccessary one,
and one. whose death would be

“—
The reply of the
infirmary did give an adequate rea-
son for bringing up the subject of
the removal of this clause. —

Obviously, if the Board wants
this. clause removed, their reason
is that it has been so misused as to
result in wrong conduct. However,
this point’ was not brought up in the
meeting; only the infirmary’s letter
was, emphasized, and no questions
asked. Now we seem _ to have
narrowed down the issue to one of
greater import than a question
which simply treated of whether or
not we were willing to abide by an
infirmary decision’ on what is, after
all, a relatively unimportant matter.

To us the question seems rather
to be one of governmental policy.

If the Self-Government Board
féels that the specific clause in
question has often been-taken ad-
‘vantage of by a large number of

“people, then it is undoubtedly right

to make stringent’ reservations on
this privilege. On the other hand,
if the undergraduates. feel,that»it»s

unjust to curtail. the individual's | tic
“fients? aha judgment “ira “mater |

which concerns ‘only the individual,
and which concerns some individu-
als very strongly, then we ‘believe
that the undergraduates should
expresss themselves forcefully at
the next meeting of the.Self-Gov-
ernment Association. To these peo-
ple the issue at hand is one of sup-
ressing the hitherto undisputed
right of the many, in order to con-
trol a‘small, unrestrained, and un-
important element. of the group in
which we live. Surely the Self-
Government Board’ need not push
the issue on this basis; it must be

capable of coping with the culprits

without being forced to fall back
upon the added prestige of a néw
résolution in our rule book. We
recommend this procedure, and we
hope that the- undergraduates of
of the college will make their stand
for individualism, and as much
liberty of personal judgment’ as it
is possible to retain _without_harm to
the group. 4

LEISURE VS. DUTY
We heartily agree with Miss
Carey in her estimate of that so,
rare gttainment, leisure, and we add
fare attainment, leisure, and. we add
our commendation of. its beneficial
effects to her own. Yet we feel
that the gradual’ disappearance of
isure from its former important
in college life is not entirely
se of any lack of appreciation
its virtues on part ‘of the





It is in fact that we may.|her t

make time for leisure that we plurige
so madly into our studies, and intro-
duce the hectic atmosphere of the
‘outside world to our cloistered
community. Sometimes leisure:is al-
most within our grasp, and just.as
we lay eager hands upon it, its-beau-
ties vanish with the consciousness
that there are still things we should
be doing. Often too there are out-
side responsibilities to be considered
before’ we turn ta, cultivation of
ourselves... :

There seems slight chance for. a
solution to this problem, other than
the somewhat unsatisfactory one
of taking leisure when it is needed
and letting duties retire to the back-
ground. But this leisure snatched.
in the midst of our duties is dis-
colored: by the thought that’ inevi-
tably we must work even harder to
make up for lost tinfe. So we enjoy
ourselves with a defiant hilarity
which disguises our fagged btains

land frazzled nerves. It is indeed a

vicious circle nor does a quiet daily
routine serve to break it. The rut
is only deepened.
We do not want to be grinds but
we have come to college for a real
purpose. As long as concentration
on studies occupies the major place
in this purpose, we must content

in some near vacation.



PIGLET

In theor} and ‘in the abstract the
unswerving devotion of animals is
delightful, and indeed a beautiful
thing ; actually, it is often times very
different. Even Mary, of nursery
song fame,.found that to be followed

her in a highly embarrassing posi-
tion. However, like most mortals,
Mary did not realise how very well
off she was, and how. she ought to
thank her stars that the bane of her
existence was a lamb and not a
faithful pig. “We say “pig*offhand
and casually like this (instead - of
lion, bear, or what~you- will) be-

night that People-With-a-Pig tried
to rid themselves of the little nuis-
ance by chasing into Denbigh with
him, and then running helter-skelter
away before the poor thing could
find its way out to thém again.
Now’ very naturally ‘Rig found
Denbigh the. most: unpiglike haunt
in which he had ever been. He
longed for his people with such an
ardent pig longing that Denbigh
doors were flung wide open and
out he trotted into the wide, wide
world If, by this time
his People feel lost without their
curly-tailed pet (and why wouldn’t
they be?), might we suggest that
they set about adopting .a trained
Praying Mantis, of a species al-
most, if not quite, as interesting
as pigs.

Editor of the CoLLEcE News:
Self-government originated from a
desire on the part of the students to
rule themselves. In this college, how-
ever, self-government has never had
absolute power, either in the matter. of
expulsion or in any issues about which
there has been strong feeling and con-
troversy, e. g., the president of self-
government . said coricerning’ ’ the
medicinal liquor question brought up in
last week’s meeting, that nothing defi-
nite-could- be decided, without —refer-
ring the whole question to the presi-
dent and dean; hence self-government
has not fulfilled its original intention
that students should be ‘ruled only by
students. ;

The honor system has been proved
not only here but in many colleges to
be a‘farce. Even. self-government it-
self has tacitly acknowledged this by
basing some of its decisions on under-
hand information submitted by ~ stu-

dents. Decisions based on such infor-
mation are not only faulty but defeat
the purpose with which the govern-
ment was. begun.

spite of its efforts rules are constantly
being broken; their resentment at their
own inefficiency is ‘directed against
anyone who has ever aroused their
suspicions. For each rile that is broken
‘they must choose a culprit; whether
the culprit be guilty or no‘she is held
up as an example to the college and
treated with greater stringency than

correcting her quiz book and looking
rather dazed. The only entry was:

“Der mann,-: er schickt drei Brief aus;
Sie sollen Betty schrécken.”

She had handed it in early and left
the room screaming.

Fearing for her sanity we hurried
anxiously to the inf, and gained access
to her bedside after pushing through
two nurses, three doctors, and an ex-
pert on mental hygiene. Her condi-
tion was appalling. THe emotional up-
set and the.strain of a sleepless night
had shaken her self-control. Between
convulsive sobs, “we gleaned her
tragedy. With the impending quiz she
had tried feverishly to escape the Hal-
lowe’en humor. of the college wits: She
left the pachydermic revels of Denbigh
in disgust, and seught elsewhere a
congenial spot for study. She was led
to Merion by an implicit faith in the
dignity and discretion of its -manage-
ment.

be?” and we must find the answer by
trusting in the longings and intuitions
which are ours. Thinking and ques-
tioning are essential, but faith can lead
beyond the realm of intellect.

Many have overcome their individual
difficulties nobly, and surely we in our
glorious surroundings of Bryn Mawr
can learn to trust the light of God in
us and shape life to our wills: Like
the little’ boy who could feel the pull
of his kite string, although the kite
itself was out of sight, we can feel the
will of. God through our intimations
and intuitions, although we may be
unable to seé it plainly. The challenge
for us is to lay hold on life as it un-
folds and shape it to God’s will.

Every year hundreds of college-trained men and women enter the employment of
General Electric. Research, similar to that which developed “eyes” for blind fly-
ing, is one of the many fields of endeavor in which they play an important part.

butions to aviation have been developed—the
electric gasoline gauge and the radio echo alti-
meter. The ordinary altimeter shows. only
height above sea level. The radio echo altimeter
warns the pilot of his actual distance above™:
ground or water by flashing green, yellow, and
red lights on the instrument board.

graduate Freshmen 20: live in Radnor.
Thirty-three of* the students have
had no previous occupation; twenty-six
have taught in school, eleven in
schools and colleges, fifteen in colleges;
two were engaged in library work, five
were wardens, two secretaries, one in
the Child Labor Bureau, oné a con-
sultant psychologist, one in editorial
work, one a trust teller in a bank, one
‘nm mariné insurance, one in the Bell

of the graduate students hold positions
at present. At Bryn Mawr College
six are instructors, three readers, five
wardens, two secretaries, one a dem-
onstrator and one a research assistant.
Also there are seven teaching in col-
leges and one tutoring.

Twenty-seven of these students are
candidates for the M. A. degree. and
twenty-one for the Ph.D. degree. Since
the declaration of candidacy for the latter
is very involved there may. be students
who are planning to take’ this. degree

Their Background and Future. ,

An answer to the question of what

™ these students are likely to become can

only be found in a consideration of
what former students are doing in col-
lege teaching, which is. the graduate

student's field. Fifty-five of these stu-|

dents are now in the upper ranks of
the faculties of six of the seven
Women’s Colleges. At Barnard there
are one professor and two assistant
professors; at Smith seven professors,
two associate professors, four assistant
professors; at Vassar five professors,
three associate professors; at Wellesley
one professor, three associate 'profes-
sors, two assistant professors; at Bryn
Mawr one president, five professors,
two associate professors, four assist-
ant professors. The total reaches

leges are included and of these seventy-
two, thirty-eight chose Bryn Mawr as
the school of their Ph. D; degree. In
1927 out of 1088 former members of
the school studied by the Academic
Committee of the Alumnae. Associa-
_tion, 274 were on college or univ ersity
~ faculties.

“Miss“Schenck had-no“details-on the
parentage of these students and
claimed classical authority as her ex-
cuse for this. She.cited the well known
story that the first Minerva sprang
full-grown and: fully equipped from
the head of Jove, and presented the
theory that her own Minervas might
have equally miraculous backgrounds.
