THE COLLEGE NEWS
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.
Syracuse University will receive ap-
proximately $6,000 from the Federal
'Works Progress administration as its
share in an~ educational research
project sponsored by the United
States Office of Education. Syracuse
is one of the 182 colleges throughout
the country to share in a $500,000 ap-
propriation.

SYLVIA EVANS EXCELS |
IN SCIENCE, SPORTS,
(Interview with Sylvia Evans,.’37, |
| 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
has consisted of being on one team af-'
ter another, while she was also been
fulfilling offices of the class as well.
Miss Evans went to the German-
town Friends’ School, near her home,
and was graduated in 1933. She was
captain of the hockey. and lacrosse,
teams and secretary of her class there.
Since she entered college her activi-
ties have been varied. Her talents
for construction and general carpen-
try were discovered in time for the
Freshman Show and she was the head
of the construction for the Glee Club
production in the following year. She
was freshman member of the Under-
graduate Association, Class Secretary
been secretary of the Athletic Asso-
ciation. Last spring she was elected
sports. editor of the College News.
With all this she has managed to do
credit work, and has maintained her
oun laude average since freshman
year.
As for her athletic record in col-
| lege, it is an imposing one. She has
been an outstanding hockey player,
one of the most dependable members
of the team for the last three years,..,
i as a sophomore, and this year she ne
She has been on the basketball squad
and last year she ‘made both’ the

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.
