_Of Science Building.

Greater Space to be Provided,
For Faculty to Carry Out |
Research Work





REJUVENATED DALTON’
TO CONTINUE IN USE



Music Room, April 9.—Theresa Hel-
burn, 1908, has consented to be Queen



nounced in chapel, before making pub- |
lic more definite plans for the new |

science building.

It has been necessary to change the;
original plans for the science build-
ing, since only about $320,000 of the}
$925,000 already raised for the drive!
has been given without restrictions!
as to its use. The building will be|
smaller and less expensive, but the
interior and the equipment will be as
modern and as advanced as had been
previously planned. Since the Geology
Department requires less space than
any other science department, it, to-
gether with chemistry, will move to
the new building when it is ready for
use in October, 1937.

The rectangular building will be situ-
ated where the faculty apartments,
Dolgelly and Cartref, are now located
and will be in the same style as the
other buildings on campus. The ex-
terior will be very simple, in order to
save money for the more important in-
terior.

The two departments will each have
about half again as much space as
they have now for three important
reasons. First, the.college plans to
increase the number of undergradu-
ates approximately twenty-five in each
class, making a total of 100 more stu-
dents. Second, it wishes to double
the number of graduate scholars and
fellows, who need special apparatus
for research. Third, it wants to in-
crease the amount of space given to the
faculty for individual research work,
which has always been encouraged at
Bryn Mawr.

As soon as this building is complet-
ed, work will be begun on the inside
of Dalton, which will be entirely re-
constructed during the summer of
1938 in order to be as adequate as the
new building. The money for the re-
making of Dalton has not yet been
raised, but the alumnae feel confident

Summer School Head
Will be Jane Carter

Sixty Women to be Chosen Chiefly
From Industrial Centers





The executive board of the Bryn
Mawr Summer Schooi, of which Miss
Park is the chairman, decided that the
term for the coming summer is to
open on June 13 and will extend to
August 18, a period of eight weeks.
It also appointed Miss Jean Carter

as director for the coming season.

Besides four years previous experi-
ence at the Summer School, Miss Car-
ter has been head of the Department
of English in the Rochester High
School for ten years and has taught
at Barnard College during the sum-
mer. She is being released by the
affiliated schools, with which she is
at present connected, in order to ac-
cept this position.

A lack.of funds prevents the usual
number of students from being se-
lected from the west and south. It was,
however, decided that of the sixty
women to be chosen, five are to come
from abroad. Two students will-rep-
resent Porto Rico, and England and
the Scandinavian countries are each
to send one delegate. The largest
percentage of students will come from
the east. The industrial centers in
Massachusetts and Connecticut, Read-
ing, Scranton and Wilkes-Barre
among the Pennsylvanian cities, and



that they can procure the required
amount. There is no money as yet|
for the scientific equipment or for a,
maintenance fund, both of which are’
necessary.

Akron and Toledo, Ohio, are expected
to contribute the greatest number of
members. A special effort is being
made to equalize the number of union
and non-union students.



Scholarships, Deanery,

Filing of Records

Major Business of Alumnae Association



Mute but vital testimony of the ex-
istence of an Alumnae Association is
offered to thirty-seven undergraduates
in the form of Regional Scholarships,
but the undergraduate body as a whole
is unaware of the enormous amount of
activity that goes on through the As-
sociation’s office in Taylor Hall.

The office itself was established in
1919, in connection with a $2,000,000
drive for endowment, the first con-
certed effort of the alumnae; but an
organization known as the Alumnae
Association of Bryn Mawr College,
duly approved and chartered by the
County Court, has been in existence
since 1897. Before that time the as-
sociation was a more loosely organized
group, formed by the class of 1889
shortly after their graduation from
college.

The purposes of the organization
were at first purely social, to keep up
a connection with the life of the col-
lege after graduation; but the energy,
interest and generosity of this early
group soon engaged them in numerous
collective enterprises which have since
become ingispensible to the mainten-
ance of Bryn Mawr as we know it.
Today, in addition to the management
of its own internal affairs of opera-
tion, the: association raises money for
its Regional Scholarships and selects
ipients for them, provides a





dents, publishes a monthly magazine
and maintains the Deanery, whose
Entertainment Committee has this
year brought such speakers as Louis
Untermeyer and John Mason Brown
to the college, and whose facilities as
an inn are available to the parents of
undergraduates as well as to alumnae
at any time.

Despite the diversity of the activi-
ties of the Alumnae Association, the
Alumnae’ Office itself is a business
office. It acts as a general clearing-
house for information in regard to
the above alumnae enterprises, and
performs all the clerical work made
necessary by them. Its principle
function, however, isto keep records.
In a complicated system of files and
cross files some record is kept of every
girl who has ever attended classes at
Bryn Mawr. If a girl did not com-
plete her course, or has failed to join
the Alumnae Association, the record
is necessarily less complete, but her
name at least appears in what is
known as the Master File. These rec-
ords have grown more complicated
with the years until today, if some
erstwhile undergraduate decides to
make a stab at matrimony, changes
amust be made in at least ten places.
Approximately one-third of the filing
cards must be changed every year.
Alumnae are listed alphabetically, by

Are Covered hy Questions
In Varied Fields —



HELD AT TEN COLLEGES



Dr.: Fenwick and the College. News
will act as joint sponsors for a Cur-
rent Events Contest organized by
Time to be held at the college on Sat-



urday, May 2, at 11.30 o’clock. The
contest,.for which seventy-five dollars
in prize money is being offered, will
be held at this time in order not to
conflict with either German Orals or
May Day rehearsals.

Composed of simple factual ques-
tions on the period from January 1
to April 15, the test includes items on
National Affairs, Foreign News, Busi-
ness and Finance, Transport, Science,
Books, Music and Art. Sample ques-
tions like the following are included
in the book of directions for the con-
test: criticism of the Federal Govern-
ment followed ’the last Florida hurri-
cane because most of the victims were
(1 Red Cross workers, 2 subsistence
farmers, 3 Indians, 4 school children,
5 occupants of veterans’ camps). It
has been made as comprehensive as
possible in order to interest the larg-
est number of students in the ten
colleges where contests have been
arranged,

Registration blanks will be posted
on the bulletin board in Taylor until
Saturday of this week. They will also
be distributed in Economics, Politics
and History classes. Those interested
are urged to sign the lists as soon as
possible.

It is still undecided how the prize
money is to be divided. The sponsors
would be interested to know whether
one large prize of fifty dollars with
fewer smaller prizes, or a twenty-five
dollar first, a fifteen dollar second,.and
several prizes of five dollars each
would be preferred by prospective par-
ticipants. Special prizes of yearly
subscriptions to Time will be awarded
to everyone making an honor score of ;
90 per cent or more.

Miss Burnham Holds
Watercolor Exhibit |



In Paris When Thirteen



(Especially Contributed by
Jean Lamson, ’37) i
The current exhibition of water-!

colors which is to hang in the Com-|
mon Room until April 20, affords an |
opportunity to Bryn Mawr students}
to see the work of one of the ranking |
artists in America today: Carol-Lou
Burnham, of Chicago, Illinois.
$s Burnham, the youngest person|

ever to have exhibited in the Spring!
Salon in Paris, achieved that distine- |
tion at the age of thirteen. She first;
studied at the -Art Institute of Chi-}
cago, where she won a scholarship:
to Fontainebleau. Having completed
courses in oil painting, watercolors
and fresco (there is a fresco of hers in
the Royal Palace), Miss Burnham
then received personal instruction
from several prominent artists. in
Paris, among whom were F. Leger,
André l’Hote and Maurice Schwartz.

Miss Burnham is considered today
one of the finest artists working in
Chicago, both from the point of view
of technique and of creative imagina-
tion. Although she is only twenty-
seven years old, her art is at once
remarkable for its variety .and inde-
pendence; it is completely free from
the imitative tendency prominent
among the younger artists today.

We are hoping to add further to
the twelve paintings now hanging, by
the end of this week.

PEACE DAY PROJECTS
TO ATTACK MILITARISM



Taylor, April 15: The International
Relations Club and the American Stu-
dent Union held a joint meeting to
consider plans for the observance of
Peace Day, April 22, in which it is
estimated that over 300,000 students
throughout the nation will partake.
Rehearsals and the fact that one free
cut on Armistice Day. has already
been granted in this particularly full
year make it impossible to select a

Mrs. Chadwick-Collins’ office in Tay-

and/new cabinets have been put in
to’ contain the voluminous. cor-
respondence which is received by the
office of the Director of Publications.
The ancient piece of black paper which
has long shut out all light that might
have entered the room through the
transom has been removed, new lights
have been installed and the walls have
been freshly painted.



| Wednesday.

Martha Van Hoesen, ’39, and Elea-
nor Sayre, ’38, who led the meeting
emphasized the fact that the Peace
Day Meeting is in no way a strike
against the college authorities. The
faculty is most sympathetic with the
motives of the students which is to
convey forcefully their desire
peace.

An outside speaker will address_the
meeting on student action in regard
to current forces which are believed



1 to touch the problem under considera-
‘certs in New York, New England,!

tion. The Nye-Kvale amendment, for
the institution of voluntary instead
of compulsory R. O. T. C. member-
ship; the increase in military appro-
priations; the influence of Hearst
publications, and the Oxford Oath are
some of the subjects which will be
treated.

Registration of Courses
The order of classes for the
registration of werk for the aca-
demic year 1936-37 has been
altered-.this year, with sopho-
mores registering first from
April 15 to May 1. Sophomores
are urged to have their slips
signed by the head’of the de-
partment in which they intend
to major. Sophomores who are
uncertain of their majors and
wish to see the Dean before de-
deciding should make appoint-
ments at the Dean’s office. This
change has been made in order
that the departments may have
more time in which to prepare
- plans and reading lists for the
comprehensive examination for
the present juniors.

CHAPTER THE THIRD
Algae in India.

A tall, thin, yellow-faced boy
lounged on a horse-blanket near an
open grave. It was an Indian ceme-
tery near Simla and there were al-
ways fresh-dug graves because. the
native ‘young died so thick in the Hill
rains. Not far away lay a young
subaltern puffing at a hookah.

Presently he took‘ the thing out of
‘his mouth and pointed at a scrawny
figure moving slowly down the hill
below them, “who is that Fabaryihg,
Algae?”

“That is my halahdah,” said the boy
peevishly, “he is packing my things.
Ha! ,
Leave Cancelled. Indeed.”
“T start tonight with the pack-train.
I must get-a camel.”
‘Where is your pony, Leftenant?”
asked Algae.

“Dead,” said the subaltern, “famine



9 o’Clock and Be Prompt!

Lest anyone feel that this editorial board has foregone tradition, we

hasten to take a preliminary turn around that stamping-ground of every
undergraduate journalistic staff—the Library. The 8.30 morning return on
Reserve Room books is observed by few, because most students do not eat
breakfast until eight-fifteen and have no intention of rising earlier to spend
a fruitless half-hour in the Library before classes. They realize that few
students come to the Library at 8.30 and feel that those who do so can easily
make known the fact on a reserve slip the night before. Those in charge at
the Library apparently feel that this attitude is justified; for few of the
many violators who bring back the books at nine, or even eleven o'clock,
are punished.

Yet this state of affairs is scarcely conducive to strict obedience to
Library rules generally. If the eight-thirty rule can be broken, perhaps the
weekend or the stacks rules may also be violated without penalty. A nine
o'clock return, strictly enforced, would produce greater respect for all
Library rules. The assistant in the Eigeerve Room should then have an alpha-
betical list of all students in college™ Any books returned after nine o'clock
—even minutes late—would cause a»check to be made against that name;
and two or three checks would mean swift and automatic suspension of
privileges.

While catering to the convenience of the majority, such a change would
vastly improve the morale of the college with regard to Library regulations
in general. In most cases these are-more than generous and need-only a few
corrections. Liberal rules strictly enforced prove in the end more efficient
than stringent rules seldom obeyed. ©



Caravanning for Peace

The Youth Section of the Emergency Peace Campaign offers with the
vigor of a new organization a rare opportunity to all who are seriously
interested in world peace. Feeling that talk alone is not sufficient, they offer
action to younggpeople. In groups of five and six under leaders they will
enter rural is in strategic political regions of the country and there
organize programs, lead discussion groups and propagate peace information.
They will be able to discover for themselves the best means to arouse a-deep
and farsighted feeling for world amity, and they will learn where lie the
roots of public opinion. By actual experience, they will find methods to
influence this public opinion toward international cooperation, and they will
bring home from their caravan tours a store of practical means to avoid the

* pitfalls of mere idealistic conversation.

To students leaving college or facing an idle summer, disinclined to
burrow further into books and unable to travel widely, ‘yet anxious to do
something worthwhile, this is a rare opportunity. Ambitious future workers
in welfare, politics, peace and education alike will find here a common field
in which to acquire practical experierice. The training alone would be
invaluable; but far more than this these caravans will be part of a nation-
wide campaign to keep the United States out of war. Here is an unequalled
chance to help make a great and popular ideal an actuality.



It Pays to Keep Up

The News announces in this week's issue that Dr. Fenwick has kindly
consented to act as faculty sponsor for a Current Events Contest put out
by Time magazine and to be given on May second. The News will sponsor
the contest among the students, but feels that, in justice to Time, the maga-
zine’s offer of prizes cannot.be accepted unless at least fifty students plan: to
participate. There is no preparation necessary for the contest except a fair
knowledge of the headlines of the newspapers and magazines which lie
around the smoking room each day.

The contest here has a twofold purpose, to discover just how closely
Bryn Mawr students follow the news of the day, and to stimulate their inter-
est in what i is happening outside of college. Time has been very generous in
its offers of prizes and Dr. Fenwick and the News board have poted to dis-
tribute the money in many small prizes, feeling that in 1 this way everyone
will have an equal chance.

Such.a contest, requiring as it does, no work, will make a very welcome
variation from» May Day work in the lull before the final dash. If it is a
Success, more tests with greater scope will follow next year. The question-
~ aire promises entertainment to all and cash awards to many lucky under-

hills? To meet the colonel-sahib?”
“No,” said Algae. “My father is
in the Bengal army, and I go along
the great Trunk Road to Calcutta
with two women.”

“You travel with women?”

“With my English ayah and my
father’s wife. Hi ali! I am sick of
women. Where go you?”

“To England,” said the subaltern.
“England, eh?”. said Algae in
hindustani, “what is this England-
place that the women jabber about?”
“The land of the white mem-log,
Bandar,” said the leftenant. “Don’t
you remember Kensington and Put-
ney? It is time you went home.”
“That is what my mother tells me,”
said the yellow-faced boy, rising from
the blanket. “Pig!”

Fatal Woman Returns
~In Modern Art Film

First Movie of Mary Pickford
Sentimental, But Expressive

And Well-Acted
INDIANS ARE AUTHENTIC

Goodhart, April 8.—At their third
showing, the films selected by the Mu-
seum of Modern Art Film Library

traced the development of the motion
picture from 1912 to 1918 as shown
through sentimental comedy, Western
drama, slapstick and melodrama. At
this period producers were faced with
_the problem of making a silent film
understandable and varied enough so
that it would not become monotonous.
* Consequently symbolism of various
arts was found in the four pictures
presented. :

The first movie on the program,
The New York Hat, was the Griffith
production that introduced America’s
sweetheart. Modern audiences have
learned to expect that a pill of obvious
morality lurks behind every sugar-
coating of curls, and are consequently
prone to be cautiously derisive. But
on Wednesday night Mary Pickford
showed that she had more than sweet-
ness and curls. Even under the
shadow of a-hat that had equal pos-
sibilities of being either a flower-shop
or an aviary, her gestures were ex-
pressive and moving. Griffith. found
her responsive to his new system of
direction, where he abandoned the
narrative, theatrical way of photo-
graphing a picture and inserted close-
ups and abrupt changes of scene.

The Fugitive, an Ince production,
was an early Western with ear-marks
that survive even unto this day—a
hero (Bill Hart) of undisputable viril-
ity but little brain, a vicious road-
house, where drinking and vice prevail,
and men on horseback who pursue
each other, but the tragic finale was
something of a shock to those of us
who were brought up to believe in
happy endings. Ince used cut-backs
with great liberality, that process
where a vision of the Western belle

arises before the hero as he is being
riddled with,the bullets of red-skins.
It also sgems likely that he was re-
sponsible for a good part of the sym-
bolism—so necessary to silent films—
that was crystallized in early West-
erns. The complicated plot of The
Fugitive was greatly simplified by the
villain’s moustache, which plainly in-
dicated his role.

The Clever Dummy, a good slapstick
comedy produced by Mack Sennet, in-
volved the mistaken identities .of a
dummy and a janitor and gave rise to
a series of brilliantly timed chases,
elaborately confused situations and
satisfying physical violence of one sort
or another. meds,

A Fool There Was was the most
potent of the four films presented.
Theda Bara, through her portrayal of
a belle dante:sans merci, incorporated
the word “vamp” into the English
language. She gets her claws into a
highly respectable citizen while cross-
ing the Atlantic and soon reduces him
to a condition of white-haired and
fumbling imbecility by feeding him
dope. His wife remains faithful
throughout all of his various stages
of unattractiveness, but the vampire
is victorious and John finally dies at



her feet. (“Even as you and I,” the!
subtitle suggests brightly.) Symbol-!
ism is developed.in a more abstract
way by Frank Powell in this film. A|
sunset over the ocean represents the
end of happiness—although the waves
happen to be flowing backwards.
Bara’s pose with claws extended
méans that. the vampire in her is
about to emerge.

Alumnae Courses May °
Be College Addition

Council Considers Possibility of Plan
At St. Louis Meeting





At the meeting of the Alumnae
Gouncil in St. Louis, the idea of in-
stituting an Alumnae College at Bryn
Mawr was introduced. Such colleges,
conferences or lectures of faculty to
alumni are held each year in at least
fifty colleges and universities in the
United States.

The Smith Alumnae College, now
five years old, is the type which Bryn
Mawr expects to organize. Directly
after Commencement the alumnae
move to the dormitories’ where they
live for five days. During this time
lectures are given by the faculty, and
discussions are held after the lectures
and at meals. For the past four
years the subjects of the lectures have
been contemporary countries. Only
those members of the faculty involved
in the subject of the lectures neces-
sarily stay after Commencement.

The Vassar alumnae hold a forum
to which are asked speakers who are
not always professors from the col-
lege. Princeton has a two-day alumni
conference and Lafayette has a longer
Alumni College, like that of Smith.

The Bryn Mawr alumnae: will not
begin to organize a college this year
because so many of them who are
coming to May Day from a dis-
tance will be unable to return for
Commencement and the Alumnae Col-
lege. Such an institution is not only
instructive, but it gives the alumnae
a chance to know the professors pro-
fessionally as well as socially.

‘Comments on Graduate School
In Address by, Dr. Smith, ’02,
To the Alumnae





FELLOWSHIPS ARE MISSED



At the annual Council of the Bryn
Mawr Alumnae Dr. Marion P. Smith,
02, spSke on the. comprehensives, the
junior year abroad, the Graduate
School, the European Fellowship and
other items of interest to the alumnae.
Excerpts from Mrs. Smith’s speech
. are printed below:

The outstanding academic event
this year is the completion of the
plans for the General Examination in

the major subject—popularly known
as “the Comprehensive.” The plans
go into effect this spring; the present
junior class will be the first to take
the general examination in May, 1937,
and the present sophomore class, the
first to make their own plans for su-
pervised reading and special studies.

Every student is required to take
the general examination. As soon as
she has decided on her major subject
she will discuss her plans with the
head of her department and be as-
signed to some member of the depart-
ment for consultation as to courses
and supervised reading. One of the
student’s units during her senior year
will be free for general reading and
preparation for the examination. After
the first-year course, semester exam-
inations will be omitted in the major
subject.

In general, the plans submitted by
the departments are fairly uniform.
There will be three three-hour papers
in the general examination. Of these,
one (or two) will be of a general
character and two (or one) will be
specialized or limited in scope; e. g.,
a French major will take a general
language examination, an examina-
tion in some period of French Litera-
ture, and an examination in a single
“genre,” such as drama, the novel, or
lyric poetry. The student’s courses
and reading-from the end of her
sophomore year will be chosen with
regard to the period of literature in
which she will be examined, or the
“genre” which she is especially inter-
ested in studying.

Whether this system will make for
more or less specialization at the ex-
pense of general information and
wider interests, is a matter of specu-
lation.

Mrs. Smith ‘docks of the popularity
of the junior year abroad. There are
four French majors spending their
junior year in France at present. The
summer term is now spent at Tours
instead of Nancy. Next year there
will probably be one German major
studying in Munich, and possibly a
Renaissance language major in both
Spain and Italy.

In speaking of the Graduate School,
Mrs. Smith remarked that the plan
of giving the Graduate students a hall
of its own was successful. Individual
Graduate students know fewer _un-
dergraduates and less of the under-
graduate college life than they did
when they were scattered among the
six halls of residence; but new and
pleasant contacts are made and the
atmosphere of Radnor is just different
enough to be stimulating.

to make the Graduate School cosmo-

for this. _We have one French

Alumnae Association
Has Many Activities

classes, geographically, etc. Recently
an occupational file has been made.

A post card questionnaire asking
name, address and occupation of all

‘alumnae is sent out by the office every

year. Occasionally a more elaborate
series of questions is prepared, the
results of which are published in the
Alumnae Register. The Register is a
publication put out by the Alumnae
Association and the college jointly.
It is issued through the college Publi-
cation Office, but the two organiza-
tions bear the expense equally.

Just as the primary function of the
Alumnae Office is record keeping, that
of the association itself is providing
financial assistance to the college. It
does this in a number of ways:
through Scholarships, the Loan Fund
and special drives, such as the Million
Dollar Minimum conducted during the
present year.

A lack of financial aid for entering
students moved the alumnae to insti-
tute the Regional Scholarships. The
first student to receive such an award
entered college in 1922. She gradu-
ated summa cum laude in 1926 and
was awarded the European Fellow-
ship for that year. The scholarships
are awarded on the basis of financial
need and promise of a successful col-

but the actual awarding of the scho-
larship is entirely in the hands of the
scholarship committee of the district
in which the money was raised.

The scholarships are not for a fixed
amount as is sometimes thought,
range from one hundred to six hun-
dred dollars. They last from one to
four years, depending on the academic
success of’ the recipient and the state
of the funds raised in her district.
There is usually a decrease in the
amount given, however, after the ex-

ceptionally expensive period of the
freshman year.

The activity of the alumnae in re-
gard to scholarships is not restricted,
however, to those made from funds
collected solely by district alumnae.
Bryn Mawr is the only woman’s col-
lege where the awarding of regular
college scholarships is in any way de-
termined by the alumnae. When an
application for a scholarship is filed
in the office of the Dean, a duplicate
copy is filed in the Alumnae Office.
The Chairman of the -Alumnae Scho-
larship Committee reads over the ap-
plications, obtains reports of the stu-
dents concerned from each of their
professors, and then consults with the
faculty and the President. In this
way a large share in the selection of
college scholarship students is taken
by the alumnae.

The Loan Fund was established in
1891 and has operated every year
since then, although no special appeals
for donations have been made in big-
drive years. In 1925 the fund com-
mittees were reorganized and the name
Alumnae Fund was adopted. The
Fund Committee solicits funds for the
college, and endeavors to direct be-
quests. into the right channels. Vari-
ous well-meant’ but unwanted gifts
have often been averted by a timely
word from the committee.

The official organ of the Alumnae
Association is the Bulletin. It was
formerly a quarterly, but since 1921
has appeared nine times a year, no
issues being published for August,
September and October.. During the
early years of its publication the
Bulletin was subscribed to separately.
Since the early 1920’s it has been in-
cluded in the yearly dues of the asso-
ciation, which are three dollars. It
goes to eighty per cent of those who
have received an A. B. from Bryn
Mawr. The editorship, which is a
part-time job, is at present filled by
Marjorie Thompson of the class of
1912. The editorial board is volun-
tary. Class notes are contributed by
the class editors, and are published
just as they are sent in except for
changes of spelling and punctuation
which we find, to our surprise, are
often edieaity The rest of the
Bulletin is given over to articles by
various alumnae, members of the fac-
ulty, Miss Park and an, undergraduate
representative.

The officers of the association are
elected by all members from a group
nominated by a special nominating
committee. In addition to an Execu-
tive Board, district councillors, etc.,’
the Alumnae Secretary (at present
Miss Alice Hawkins, 1907) is elected
in this way. The secretary is in
charge of the Alumnae Office, through
which all official business of the asso-
ciation is handled.

Students Eager to Set Precedent
For Brighter Weekends



Bryn Mawr traditions are usually
thought of as being followed. On
Saturday, April 18, at 7 p. m., Rocke-
feller Hall, trusting in the adage that
all good things deserve repetition,
hopes to introduce a new custom giv-
ing hall dances at college.

The spirit of experiment has proved
to be irresistible.
least fifty couples are expected, to-
gether with a sprinkling of more
skeptical “stags.” The hall is sorry
to announce that it is unable to ex-
tend an invitation to undergraduates
from: other halls.

After a buffet supper has been
served, the couples will dance in the
large dining room. At 11.30 the or-
chestra will stop playing, as a tactful
reminder that the hall must be cleared
by midnight. It is assumed that the
majority of the dancers will swoop
down on the “Greeks,” as everyone
may obtain one o’clock permission.

“The weekend is to be a thoroughly
social one. Sunday afternoon a hall
tea will offer further entertainment

ACTING IS INTEREST
OF NEW LEAGUE HEAD



(Interview with Letitia Brown, ’37,
President of the Bryn Mawr League.)
Letitia Brown’s outstanding’ per-
formances since her college career be-

gan have been as the villain fn the
Freshman Show and as Chairman of
the Sunday Service Committee, from
which it will e#sily be seen that her
talents are most varied. . Incidentally
she has been a cum laude from the
time of her first mid-years. «

She went to the Windsor School in
Boston, where she lives, for five.years,
but her devotion is to Westover, which
she attended for three years and -from
which she was graduated in 1933. She
entered Bryn Mawr under the famous
Plan D (D stands for Depression, of
course!), which depends chiefly on
recommendation by. the school. She
took no College Board examinations
except for the inevitable Scholastic
Aptitude Test.

At school she won the award for
General Scholarship, but she found
time during her work to take part in
dramatics, in which she has always
been much interested. There are
rumors of her having rivaled Walter
Hampden as Cyrano. Among her
other activities at Westover, she'in-
cluded membership in the Dorcas So-
ciety and on the editorial board of the
school magazine. She headed the dele-
gation from Westover to the North-
field Conference. —

She has followed much the same
lines at college. All those who had

masterpiece of the Class of 87,
Never Darken My Door Again, will
long remember the terrifying aspect
of Miss Brown, effectively disguised’
by large, black mustachios and a sin-
ister opera cape. When the smoke
from the show cleared away she was
discovered to be secretary of the class,
a position which she filled so success-
fully that she was elected vice-presi-
dent during her junior year. In the
interim she was sophomore member
of the Self-Government Board. ,

In the spring of her freshman year
she became assistant to Sarah Fland-
ers, ’35, chairman of the Sunday Ser-
vice Committee, and she was duly
elected chairman a year later.

Among the various other aspects of
her college career have been a brief,
but very successful sojourn on the
board of the College News and the part
of the king in the ill-fated Cymbeline.
All things considered, we feel certain
that the league will have a smooth
and inspired voyage under her guid-
ance.

| President of the Athletic Association.)

Sylvia Evans is the second science
major in the Class of 1937 to hold a

prominent position in the college. She
is majoring in biology, but in spite of
laboratory periods she devotes much
time to athletics. Her college career

Peace Day Projects
To Attack Militarism

Two student speakers will also ad-
dress the assembly on these problems.
A representative of the American
Student Union chapter at college will
speak ‘at Reyburn Plaza on the same
day.

Miss Laura Musser, ’37y president
of the American Liberty League divi-
sion at Bryn -Mawyr, stated that
whereas the League approved of the
Ppurposes of the action, it did not ap-
prove of the method of demonstration.

The Home Fire Division of the Vet-
erans of Future wars have also de-
clined to take part in the activities,
in consideration of its “non-pacifistic,
non-militaristic”’ platform, the efficacy
of which, it feels, lies in ridicule
rather than in serious action.

VOLUNTEER PEACE WORK

OFFERED FOR SUMMER

\

Students who are passive pacifists
because they can think of no way to

enter into peace activity are now of-
fered a chance -to prove actively their
interest in fighting war. Peace must
be established with propaganda as
vivid as that of war. Here is a chance
to take a leading part in a movement
to “discard worn-out theories and, con-
ventions and to substitute a more ‘in-
telligent method than war for settling
disputes and misunderstandings be-
tween nations.”

‘This summer and next winter,
groups of young people known as
Emergency Peace Volunteers will en-
gage in active service in rural com-
munities all over the country, under
the auspices of the Youth Section of
the Emergency Peace Campaign.

They will visit these communities
not to tell people what should be
done, but to work with them in doing
it. When they go back to their col-
leges and homes in the fall they will
leave behind them not only friends and
pleasant memories, but the beginnings
of permanent peace organizations.

Volunteers will be given one month’s
training, beginning the middle of
June, at Institutes of International
Relations held in three places: one on
the Pacific Coast, one at Duke Uni-
versity, Durham, N. C., and one at
Grinnell College, Grinnell, Iowa,

These institutes will provide an in-
tensive course. of study in interna-
tional__relations; analyze problems
which confuse international life to-
day; show the underlying causes be-
hind dominant world trends; and in-
spire a dedication to the social strug-
gle toward an improved international
order.

The institutes will also discuss and



set forth ways and means by which
Emergency Peace Volunteers can best
use this information in rural com-
munities where they will spend the

summer. Special attention will be

given to field work technique as well
as to physical and mental exercise and
recreation. ’

groups of five or six young men and
women, each group with one adult
leader, will be sent out to different
parts of the country. Each unit will
settle in a strategic rural area for
eight or ten weeks, live under the
simplest conditions and share the
ordinary incidental tasks.

In each -conimunity the Peace Vol-
unteers will lead discussion and forum
groups; organize demonstrations; ar-
range exhibits; produce plays, using
as much local talent as possible; sell
literature bearing on_ international
problems and social and : economic
questions related to them; contact
newspapers and radio stations, young
people’s societies, labor groups and
farm organizations, and generally de-
velop intelligent consideration of the
substitution ef peaceful processes for
the war method of settling controver-
sial questions.

In placing the groups, special at-
tetion will be given to localities which
are politically significant. Volunteers
will have the records of United States
Representatives and Senators, as they
affect questions of peace and war.
They will not engage in political cam-
paigns, as such, but they will see that
the records of the Congressmen really
become familiar to the citizens who
must vote for or against them. The
Peace Volunteers will act essentially
as “good neighbors for the summer”
who share in the community’s own
pursuit of accurate information.

Peace Volunteers should be between



At the end of the training period.]





20 and 35 years of age. They are wel-
comed, whatever their race or creed.
They may join for three months, six
nypnths or for longer: periods.

The expenses of each volunteer—in-
cluding transportation from and back
to his own home—is figured at $60 a
month, including the training period
and maintenance in the field. Half
this sum’ will be borne by the
Emergency Peace Campaign itself.
The other half, wherever possible,
should be paid by the volunteer him-
self—or by his parents or groups
which care to support the work of the
campaign by contributing in this more
personal manner. If necessary, cam-
paign officials are prepared to help
interest schools, service clubs, churches
or other local groups in securing
financial support for Emergency
Peace Volunteers. Thirty dollars is
far less than a family would’ spend
to support an idle daughter during
the summer.

Harold Chance, who for the past
three years’ has directed the New
England Institute of International
Relations at Wellesley College, is di-
recting the work of the Emergency
Peace Campangn Youth Section. In
the Peace Volunteer organization he

sees a new opportunity for young peo--

ple to undertake active service . for
peace and to broaden their own back-
grounds. The situation in the world
today, demands constructive action
rather than mere négative opposition
to war, he insists.

EGGS AND TELEGRAMS
ARRIVE FOR EASTER



No one caught sight.of the Easter
bunny, but he seems to have done véry
well on the sly. Easter eggs arrived
during the week in boxes, and the

Western Union boy peddled back and
forth all day Sunday.~ “Say it with
flowers” seemed to be the system
most Happy Easter wishers used. We
were well supplied by Jeanette’s
with all kinds, particularly corsages,
which ranged from the _ gardenia
standby to vari-colored orchids. (Note:
if he sent you flowers from away, he
loves you more than two dollars
worth, because there is a new ruling
that no telegraph orders will be ac-
cepted for less than that amount.)

A lucky few got little live chickens
two or three days old, painted in the
gayest Easter colors, bright yellow
and purple. To our relief as human-
itarians we found that the dye does

not hurt the chicken in the least—it|.

grows out with the feathers. We are
waiting breathlessly to see if their
eggs come colored!

Easter, we discover, brings out our
church-going tendencies. It began on'
Good Friday, when, sitting in the Inn, |
we saw a long file going down the hill
in their Good, Friday best.

We went scouting to see-how seri-
ously the Bryn Mawr girl takes the
Easter bonnet question, and found she
does not consider it at all: Not that
she does not feel the spring urge to

flowers on it—she does.
something about it before Easter. She
gets the clothes fever the week before
vacation, according to Jeanne Betts.



A course in etiquette offered by
Muhlenberg College, Allentown, Pa.,
has attracted 298 students. (—ACP)
