_ BRYN MAWR CELEBRATES FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY





Miss Park Traces
History of College

Successes, Virtues



Monologue by Cornelia Skinner
Recreates Early Freshman
at Bryn Mawr



CAMPUS SONGS SUNG
IN PERIOD COSTUME



Goodhart, Nov. 1 and 2—

With a light heart and a proud
his-
tory—serious and gay—once for the
distinguished guests and delegates
to the celebration and again “en
famille” for her alumnae and under-
graduate daughters. Miss Park, in
a pithy and. beautifully composed
address, brought to light the facts
of “Bryn Mawr’s pre-natal exist-
ence,” of its founder’s life and will;
and of its selected virtues and suc-
cesses. Lantern slides including
many early pictures of the campus,
the faculty and the students, and
recent moving pictures of Big May
Day illustrated her talk. The latter
half of the program featured the
monologue A Campus Idyll, written
by Cornelia Otis Skinner, ’22, and
acted on Friday by Miss Skinner
and on Saturday by. Magdelen Hup-
fel Flexner, ’28. Four types of
“campus folk song” sung by choir
members in colorfully costumed
tableaux concluded with an impres-
sive mock Lantern Night ceremony
to Pallas Athene.

After describing the facts of the
founding of the college, Miss Park
continued to explain the sources of
the color and form and essence of
Bryn Mawr which through the years
remains the same, “From its Quaker
fathers._a—habit—_of caution, along
with tolerance of new ones a liking
for established ways, and, very clear
as Dr. Rhoads’ special contribution,

tions from certain convictions of the
new dean: her respect for intellect
and her basic confidence in it, her
confidence in liberty,—that through
personal liberty only the mature and
civilized Person developed, her lik-
ing for a rich background, the Eu-
ropean scene behind the American,
beautiful surroundings, varied ex-
perience. And from the procession
of its faculty for fifty years the
driving power and cutting edge.

French Americanisms
Discussed Amusingly



Common Room, Oct. 8t.— The
French Club held its second meeting

with M. Guiton as its guest. He was
a most amusing speaker on his sub-
ject of “Americanisms Among _ the
French.” It seems that certain of
the French are as eager to appear
“American” as some Americans are
to be “French.” Actually many fash-
ions and terms which were’ once
blatantly American have become es-
sentially French through their long
and convenient use. The American
styles of one year may be adopted by
Frenchmen and soon they become so
popular that they are permanently
established as a French style. Such
has been the case of the “poulovaire”
tucked inside the trousers. (Pull-
over-sweater.)

In the realm of sport particularly
many good American words can be
heard in an unfamiliar accent. If a
tennis ball passes the fatal white line,
a cry goes up of “A-out.” One speaks
at a boxing match of a “Knock-out”
with the accent onsthe “K.” The ety-
mology of the word “meeting” is very
interesting. It was used first in
France by the “snobs” to denote a
gathering, and is still so used, pro-
nounced approximately as in English.
Now it is often heard among the peo-
ple of France as signifying a rally of

Rockefeller Students Bravely Endure
Tribulations of Exile to Other Halls



Far from transforming itself into

“one great, big, happy family,” as is

the custom at most celebrations, Bryn
Mawr rather assumed for its Fiftieth
Anniversary the aspect of an adult
orphan asylum. Lest these words
convey too sombre an impression, let

it be quickly added that the Bryn

Mawr asylum resounded to no sobs
and lamentations. Rather, mirth and
festivity reigned, and “joy was un-
confined.” But the distinguished vis-
itors, the alumnae, the Rockefeller in-
mates whose rooms were confiscated,
and even the faculty dogs, wore a be-

-wildered, homeless look which even

over their most brilliant smiles re-
mained unaltered like a piece of cello-
phane.

_-The—Hospitality.-Committee - did its
best to dispel the lost-puppy symptoms

_displayed by its wards, but imagine

its dismay when it found that one of
them actually was lost! One of the}
speakers had long been due to arrive,
yet not a word had been heard nor a
sight seen of him. Hastily scouts

were dispatched to discover the miss-
ing gentleman, and so hastily they.



set about their duty that they almost | *

neglected to assist a lone and distant
figure whom they noticed in obvious
distress. Their benevolent natures
prevailed, however, and they stopped
to inquire his trouble. Mournfully he
replied, “I don’t know where to go.”
“Who,” they thereupon desired to
know, “are you?” He was no other
than the man they were seeking. He
led them, amazed in their turn, to
where his wife was sitting, forlorn
and baffled, in the midst of her bag-
gage. With‘profuse apologies the fur-

Other visitors were led astray by
their guides rather than by their own
misguided instincts. To one person,
whose ambiguous last name was pre-
fixed by the equally ambiguous title,
“President,” ‘was assigned a room in
the men’s corridor in Rockefeller.

(Fot both men and women, because}:

of the necessity opie occasion, lodged
in Rockefeller on Friday night.) The
| president arrived, the room number
was given to a guide and both set off
merrily endugh until they found them-
selves proceeding down a corridor
labeled “Men.” There was the room.
The guide observed the president to
see if she was dreaming. No, the

Parties Entertain Alumnae

Although Bryn. Mawr may lead a
cloistered existence when there is no
reason to do otherwise, it can display
all the social graces when occasion
calls. Witness Rockefeller, festooned
with flowers, filled with
women wearing the most impeccable

men and

of evening dress, and bearing the most
distinguished of names. For this
dinner on Friday evening, Miss Park
stood in the reception line, together

with Dr. and Mrs. Rufus Jones and
President Wooley of Mt. Holyoke.
The guests: wandered blithely from
the smoking room to the show case
and on to the dining room during the
course of the buffet supper, without
realizing the strict line of demarca-
tion existing between fhese 1 rooms on
ordinary days.

On Saturday, lunch was given in
the gymnasium for all the distin-
guished guests, but the purpose was
no.so much lunch as meeting and
talking, which continued until almost
three o’clock. This was the time for
the presentation of the M. Carey
Thomas award to:Dr. Sabin. After
presentation, a tea was held for Dr.
Sabin and a few of her friends in
the Common Room. That evening,
the younger alumnae were. the guests
of Miss Park at a supper in the
Deanery, just as the older alumnae
had been Miss Thomas’ guests there
on the previous night. The Deanery
was crowded on both occasions with
old friends eager to see each other
again after the lapse of a few or of

many years.

Bryn Mawr, Haverford
To Put On “*The Swan”



The Swan, by Ferene Molnar, a clev-
er, amusing and sometimes rather
wistful comedy satire on royalty, is
the choice of the Bryn Mawr College
Players’ Club and the Haverford Col-
lege. Cap and Bells as a fall play.
The cast includes seventeen speaking
parts as well as a few players, such
as hussars, lackeys and so forth who
have nothing to say, bat merely lend
atmosphere. Of ‘these; eight of the
actors with speaking parts are women,
and four of these have rather impor-
tant parts. The leading characters
are Princess Beatrice, a former queen;
her daughter, Alexandra; her brother;
Father Hyacinth, a monk; and Pro-
fessor Hans Agi, the tutor of the
Princess. Beatrice’s sons.

The two performances are to be
given at Bryn Mawr Friday and Sat-
urday, December 6 and 7. The sec-
ond presentation is to be followed by
a dance at Bryn Mawr given jointly
with Haverford College, in which
there willybe two stag lines, one com-
posed of men and the other women.
The two organizations have chosen as
their director Miss Eleanor Hopkin-
son, sister of Joan Hopkinson, ’35.
Miss Hopkinson was also in charge
of the direction of the acting in last
spring’s Greek play, The Bacchae.

taken up by rehearsals of the choir for

Honor Festive Day



Mrs. Slade Presents $750,000
of Alumnae Gift, Promises
Added $250,000

PRESIDENT THOMAS IS
CENTER OF INTEREST



Goodhart, Nov. 2.—Bryn Mawr’s
Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration
moved through a colorful succession
of events on Friday and Saturday,
November 1 and 2, and culminated
with the announcement of an alum-
nae gift of $750,000—three-quarters of

‘| the million-dollar fund which is to be

completed by June—and with the
presentation to Dr. Florence Rena
Sabin of the $5000 M. Carey Thomas
Prize award.

The formal program began on Sat-
urday morning with an academic pro-
cession which included distinguished
educators from nearly a hundred col-

mt the
East, among them the speakers ofi the
morning, James Bryant Conant, Presi-
dent of Harvard University; Ada
Louise Comstock, President of Rad-
cliffe College; Isaiah Bowman, Presi-
dent of Johns Hopkins University, and
representatives of learned societies and
foundations, particularly Dr. Sabin
and Dr. Simon Flexner, of the Rocke-
feller Institute for Medical Research.
Three hundred delegates formed
the procession which progressed from
the Library to Goodhart. The line
was colored by the bright academic
hoods that designated the college and
degree of the wearer, particularly by
the brilliant yellow and red robes
worn by Dr. Charles »Cestre, of the
University of Paris, and by Dr. Simon
Flexner. The tremendous applause
of the day came with the close of the
procession as the spectators greeted
President-emeritus M. Carey Thomas
and President Marion Edwards Park.

In opening the formal exercises
President Park welcomed the friends
of the college: “The guests represent
the colleges and universities of this
part of the world, the learned socie-
ties with which we have some connec-
tion, the heads of the schools who have
sent their girls, many or few, to Bryn
Mawr, and our own individual friends
and neighbors. On the platform with
us sit our nearest academic colleagues,
Haverford, Swarthmore, Temple -Uni-
versity, the University of Pennsyl-
vania, Princeton, a symbol I hope of

local solidarity. Faculty, alumnae
and undergraduates fill the other

places. I think there is probably no

Bryn Mawr Slumbers Through Earthquake
Despite Efforts of Press to Rouse Us



Late las\ Thursday night, while the
college slept soundly in anticipation
of events to come, one of the wardens
was rudely awakened from her well-
earned repose by the clamorous and

insistent voice of the emergency tele-
phone in her office. Quickly she arose
and went to answer it, alarmed lest
the last of her charges who. was still
out might have met with some un-
happy accident. Imagine her relief
and her annoyance to hear a loud
masculine voice come over the wire
asking, “Has the college a seismo-
graph?”

When the warden had sufficiently
aroused herself to ask the gentleman
again what he wanted, she was in-
formed that one of the local papers
wished to know whether the college
possessed an instrument for record-
ing earthquakes and if it did he
wanted to know at once what it was
recording. It seems that there were
earthquakes going on in the vicinity

and the press was anxious to find out}

all about it. ut

point and began to envision the cam-
pus buildings collapsing and the
ground opening up and swallowing
our citadel of learning. The reporter,
however, when pressed for details re-
fused to extend the actual quake area
beyond South Philadelphia.

The discussion did not, however,
settle the original argument about
whether Bryn Mawr had a seismo-
graph. After some idle talk the re-
porter gathered that he was not talk-
ing with the source of the necessary

information and at once asked how,

to get in touch with some one in the
science departments. Fortunately for,

these worthy individuals the warden

refused to vouchsafe the information
which would éause them to be called

unceremonious as she had been. And

“We Acknowledge With Pride—”

To nearly every person who was so fortunate as to witness any part
of the many informal gatherings, private receptions and public ceremonies
which marked the celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of Bryn Mawr
College, there must have come a feeling of unrestrained pride in the tributes
paid to the college, its founders, its administrators and its alumnae, by the
many dignitaries who attended and spoke at the birthday ceremonies.

Perhaps the most impressive moment in the. whole occasion occurred
when the academic procession moved slowly down the center of Goodhart
in all the splendor of its colorful academic gowns and its distinguished
delegates and guests. Preceding them came the representatives of all the
classes who have ever graduated from the college, taken advanced. degrees
or attend at the present moment. As the long column passed by it seemed
as if the years, too, were rolling back to the first days of the college's found-
ing. -At'the end of this long and animated procession came the two figures
who personify to us most closely Bryn Mawr College. The great crowd
of guests, deeply moved, .rose to honor the President-emeritus and the Presi-
dent of the college and peals of applause resounded back and forth across
the huge expanse of Goodhart Hall. After the three ‘noted college presi-
dents had addressed the gathering, the climax came when Miss Thomas
herself came to the front of the platform and was able only after some
effort to stop the enthusiastic applause of the audience ‘and make her
address.

The thrilling moment of the presentation of the Alumnae gift to the
college will perhaps never be equalled, when Mrs. Slade announced that
the amazing total of $750,000 had been achieved after the most prodigious
work by alumnae everywhere. Great was the excitement when it was
announced that District V and the Philadelphia district had passed their
quotas. The indefatigable alumnae announced that the Drive will continue
until the Million Dollar Minimum is achieved. We know that they will
acquire that sum and at the same time we know that it will not be because
of chance or good luck. Hard work and tedious routine drudgery, which
is unspectacular but absolutely essential to the success of any big effort to
raise money, is the key to the victory of the Alumnae Drive. Mrs. Slade
for the third time heads a Bryn Mawr Drive and under her competent
leadership the goal is in sight. But behind the scenes moves another import-
ant figure whose contribution to the success of the Drive and to the organi-
zation of the anniversary celebration was invaluable. Without Mrs. Chad-
wick-Collins the wheels would not have run so smoothly as they did, and
without her inspiration much that was achieved would not have been
accomplished. We, as undergraduates, perhaps more than any other group
have seen her working day ‘and night week in and week out, cheering us
on in our struggle to achieve our quota and dispatching advice and_sugges-
tions to the Alumnae in their efforts to raise money. We trust that a
well-earned rest awaits her and her staff before they undertake the task of
organizing Big May Day.

With a renewed sense of the importance of our four years at Bryn
Mawr we return to the normal Course of life. What we have seen has
demonstrated to us even more clearly than any other event in our lives
the responsibility which our privilege of attendance here imposes on us not
only in regard to our Alma Mater itself, but to the community of which
it is a part. Oe



Fitting Memorials

~The announcement by Mrs. Slade last Saturday of two new memorial
gifts and of the recent naming of the Library after Miss. Thomas brings
home to us-once more the fitness of such action. There can be no better
way of commemorating those-who have given of themselves to Bryn Mawr
or those who have drawn their happiness from it than thus reminding
future generations of their lives and work. ‘Most of the scholarships and
annual lecture series are named after alumnae, yet only two buildings bear

the founder, and. Marjorie Walter Goodhart Hall after an alumna. Of all
the buildings on campus the library is the one closest to the heart of the
college. It is rightly named after our great President-emeritus. That the
library of the new science building should always recall the years of devo-

| tion of Marjorie Jefferies Wagoner is also fitting. And the Quita Wood-|

Accent on Youth.
We have made bold to christen our
column with a borrowed name, be-
cause it fits so exactly our pur-
poses and resolutions. We intend to
place an accent on youth in the
books we review. This does not
mean that we shall offer previews or
even that we shall report on volumes

‘still wet from the ink of the press.

But it does mean that we shall try
to deal with books before the pic-
ture of their author in the New York
Times literary section has faded
from all memories except his’ own
fond recollection.

People will remember Lucy ‘Guy
heart for many months to come be-
cause Willa Cather wrote it.- When
read with the pleasant thought of
her other books in mind, it is per-
haps reminiscent of the beautifully
restrained vitality that was theirs.
In its own merit, Lucy Gayheart is
still beautiful, but it is not’ suffi-
ciently vital. The landscape of. this
story is painted with exquisite de-
scription, and too like the landscape
Lucy Gayheart herself is painted, in
delicate pastel shades. She is not,
of course, similarly static, yet she
does remain a plane surface, scarcely
ever assuming the three dimensions
of a living form. As for ‘her lover,
Sebastian the singer, he cannot even
be seen. When Lucy first hears his
voice, she is steeped in a sad, fatal
mood, and this mood is all that is
ever revealed of him. In each of
them, there is an aspect of reality,
but never enough to give them life.

The bare plot itself is very simple.
Its sparse outline must be filled in
with emotion if the book is to be com-
plete. It is not complete. Where
the feeling is still, like that per-
meating a countryside lying in the
sunset; where it is to be sketched
quickly or faintly as among the mi-
nor characters, it is indeed perfectly
rendered. Where it should be swift
and powerful, however, where it
should flood the mechanical situation
with spiritual energy, it is given
only the slow and noiseless motion of
a dream. The book is like a curtain
with pictures painted on it. The air
shines through; it has no solid sub-
stance.

There is, we feel sure, very solid
substance in T. S. Eliot’s new play,
Murder in the Cathedral. What that
pogo is we nevertheless hesitate

of the class ut 1939 are as fol-

dral is a poetic dramatization of the
murder: and ‘martyrdom of Thomas
a. Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury.
It is somewhat in the manner of''a
Greek tragedy: there is a chorus
which forebodes the Archbishop’s fate
and the sorrow’ it will bring to them,
but unlike a Greek chorus, it never
comprehends the nature of the strug-
gle leading’ up to the catastrophe.

the old unities of time and place, but
there is an episode which breaks an
unspecified unity—the unity of mood.
The four murderers of the Arch-
bishop advance to the front of the
stage after their bloody deed and
plead their case in a“ parliamentary
prose which suddenly turns the cathe-
dral into a modern court of law.
Since this transformation is useful
for Mr. Eliot’s ultimate ends, it is
more justifiable that at first it ap-
pears. The contrast of this govern-
mental legality with the spiritual
truth enacted by the Archbishop is
just what Mr. Eliot wishes to em-
phasize. Because of the incompati-
bility of these two elements, Thomas
& Becket chose martyrdom.

Although clearer than some of Mr.
Eliot’s earlier poetry, the verse of
this play is. less lovely. There are
little word-patterns in single lines
and phrases and larger patterns of
recurring lines and rhythms through
whole speeches and throughout the
entire play; but there is hardly any
color in the words, or any. beautifully
precise metaphor. Nevertheless, an
intense earnestness pervading chorus,
characters, symbols, and poetry lifts
them all above the commonplace, and
now and again raises them to exal-
tation.



College Editors Favor Roosevelt

Editors of college newspapers,
magazines and yearbooks favor the
reélection of President Roosevelt, ac-
cording to the results of a poll re-
cently conducted by Pulse of the
Nation, a monthly magazine of opin-
ion edited by Albert J. Beveridge, Jr.
The complete returns, announced No-
vember 1, gave Roosevelt 408 votes,
Borah, 52; Frank Knox, 26; Herbert
Hoover, 23; Norman Thomas, 23;
Governor Alfred Landon, 22, and
other candidates from “I to 8.

The separate poll for parties
showed: Democrats, 386; Republi-
cans, 183; Socialists, 45; Independ-
ents, 20, and Communists, 10. The
Democratic party led in all sections
of the country except New England,
where the Republican party was
ahead. Complete returns are listed in
the November issue of Pulse.



News of the New York Theatres

Pride and Prejudice, which opened
in New York Monday night, is one
of those rare plays to which the ad-
jective “delightful” can accurately be
applied. It is an adroit and faithful
adaptation of the Jane Austen novel
of the same name by Helen Jerome,
presented by Max Gordon. Every de-
tail is carried out with the utmost
care: the Jo Mielziner sets are
charming, the costumes are quaint and
colorful, and the casting is very near
perfect,

That excellent actress, Miss Adri-
anne Allen, late of The Shining Hour,
plays Elizabeth in a live and charm-
ing manner. It is Miss Lizzie, you
remember, who. furnished the preju-
dice in the story, while the hero, the
artistocratic Mr. Darcy (played by
Colin Keith-Johnson) ovided the
pride. These two. characteristics




standings, tending to sepakate Miss

(played in a masterly fashion by Lu-
cille Watson) is convinced that Liz-

volting clergyman-cousin.

One finds oneself becoming posi-

him down in the second act, although
everyone knows very. well that not
only he, but every eligible character
in the play will find himself attached
to th¢ object of his affections by the
time the final curtain descends. It
is a tribute to the fine, acting of the
company that the audience is sincerely
moved by this old-fashioned story. So
we are sure that, unless New York is
much.less. sentimental than we think
it is, Pride and Prejudice, will be a
real hit.

7 Scholariidis of Women
Merits Lafger Reward

(Excerpts: from. the speech of M.
Carey Thomas, President-emeritus of
Bryn Mawr College.)

It is fifty-seven years ago this No-
vember that I was aSked by the
founder of Bryn Mawr whether I
thought that women professors would
be as willing toteach in co-educational
colleges or annexes as in women’s col-
leges. He said that young women
should study under. women of high at-
tainments holding responsible posi-
tions. He:was then considering mak-
ing his new college an annex to the
Johns Hopkins. Having just--gradu-
ated from Cornell and having seen no
women employed by the university ex-
cept charwomen, I innocently replied
that I\did not think that women, even
if they wanted to, would be permitted
to teach anywhere except in women’s
colleges. What I said was true then
and it is true now, fifty-seven years
later,

AG will be fifty-one years in Decem-
ber since the thirteen Quaker trustees
named in the will of our founder ap-
pointed Dr. James E. Rhoads presi-
dent of the college and at the same
time appointed me Dean of the Fac-
ulty and Professor of English. It was
agreed between President Rhoads and
myself that as the college was to open
in nine months he should give his
whole time to completing the) build-
ings and I should give mine to plan-
ning the curriculum, nominating the
professors and selecting the students.
From that time until he resigned be-
cause of ill health in 1894 we worked
together in perfect harmony, although
there was a difference of thirty years
in our ages. He made my educational
policies his own and supported them
with unflinching determination in the
Board of Trustees. Every anniver-
sary of Bryn Mawr must recognize
and honor his great qualities. He was
consumed by the flame of a great love
for the best as he knew it. Had he
not been what he was during those
first nine critical years, from 1885
to 1894, Bryn Mawr College could not
be what it is today. We owe him a
debt of gratitude and admiration that
can never be repaid.

The next nine months were like a
dream of the Arabian Nights. I was
twenty-seven years old. I had just
returned from four years’ study in
‘France, Germany and Switzerland
with one of the then brand-new Ph. D.
degrees in my pocket. I had studied
in two American and four foreign uni-
versities. I thought I knew what we
did not want in Bryn Mawr. But
how to get what we did want—the
right students, the right professors,
the right course of study? How to or-
ganize our new college with its tiny
endowment (reduced to about $731,000
when the college opened in 1885) so as
to create women scholars, women re-
searchers, women writers, women
thinkers? Alone I could never have
found the answer had not everyone
helped—President Gilman and _ his
splendid group of Hopkins professors,
my German, French and Swiss pro-
fessors (who recommended six of our
early faculty, including Jacques Loeb,
who was called from Germany to open
our department of physiology), and
many individual American professors
whom I consulted, including of course
the presidents and professors of
Mount Holyoke, Vassar, Wellesley,
Smith and the remarkable group of
women then organizing Radcliffe. ’.
““Y ean perhaps best explain what
Bryn Mawr did by telling you what
Bryn Mawr did first. This is not as
conceited as it sounds. It was much
easier to do things first in 1885 than
. in 1935. Bryn Mawr solved the prob-
\lem of getting able students by mak-

\ing her. entrance examinations the

ost difficult in the United States,
ahd she kept them unchanged for
thirty-six years. We solved the prob-
lem of’ professors by appointing only
holders of the new Ph. D. degree.

Woodrow Wilson was the only excep-

tion. \He had published his thesis and

done all the work, but he took his ex-
aminations later. There were then,
as far as§ we could find out, only four
women Ph. D.’s in the world, two of
them in mathematics; and we ap-
pointed. three. Our early professors



were called\away so rapidly to other

universities \at double their Bryn

that youth taught
st three decades of the
college, which \I believe is the ideal
_Btyn Mawr opened
with, and has always maintained, one

where else outside of foreign univer-
sities. Every teacher of undergradu-
ates gives at least three hours of her
or his time to conducting graduate
work. -Only so, I believe, i is inspiring
teaching possible.

Bryn Mawr opened with a three

-years graduate school and resident

fellowships soon increased to:one for
every department... In 1892 -Bryn
Mawr } was-the first American college
oY University to offer resident fellow-
ships for foreign women scholars, ten
in all. Shé was then, and is now, the
only college to award a European. fel-
lowship for foreign study to the best
student in each senior class. The
Self-Government Charter. granted in
1892 by the Trustees is the most com-
plete ever given and it has worked
well for over forty years. I have left
to the last the plan of undergraduate
study adopted by the college which
worked so well that it was not altered
for thirty-six years.
Of all the many letters I have re-
ceived from Bryn Mawr graduates
‘there is one that pleases me most, al-
though like many other such letters it
is a two-edged sword: “Dear President
Thomas, I have forgotten everything I
raion at Bryn Mawr, but I still see
cou standing’ in chapel and telling
us to believe in women.” In two
months from today I shall be three
score and eighteen years old, and this
is probably my last’ speech. I find
that I cannot close it without asking
the alumnae here today and the much

‘greater number of alumnae and form-

er students listening over the radio
not only “to believe” in women (which;
of course you all do), but also to do
what you can to help women scholars
in their dire need.

The late Dr. William H. Welsh, the
head. of the Johns Hopkins Medical
Faculty from the opening of the Med-
ical School in 1898 until his death a
year ago, gave the commencement ad-
dress on my retirement at sixty-five
in 1922. Before speaking he had made
a scientific ‘study such as only he
could make of the Higher Education
of Women. He was one of the most
brilliant thinkers I have ever met. He
said to me before leaving: “Bryn
Mawr is committing a crime against
women scholars and women scientific
investigators. Women, like me, can
never become truly eminent unless
they receive the reward of their labors.
TI am shocked to find even at Bryn
Mawr that at least one-half of your
full professors are men and that _in
the hundreds of co-educational colleges
in the United States there are prac-
tically no women professors and that
even in some of the few separate col-
leges for women, men are presidents
instead of women. How long,” he
asked indignantly, “are women going
to permit women scholars to be asked
to make bricks without straw? No
men could be expected to do. distin-
guished work in teaching or research
under such conditions.”

I realized then as never before that
my generation had given women only
opportunity to study. We had not
opened to them the rewards of study.
Your generation must come to their
rescue. My generation has given you
political power. One-half of the votes
in the United States are or can be
cast by women. You have also finan-
cial power. Statistics show that one-
half of the invested wealth of the
United States is controlled by women.
When you or your husbands or fathers
make large memorial gifts to co-edu-
cational universities, why not request
that women’s scholarly and teaching
abilities be recognized by professor-
ships? When you give large sums to
hospitals, why not make it a condi-
tion that women medical students
shall be allowed to compete for in-
terneships and women physicians for
medical and surgical professorships?
The Johns Hopkins Medical School
was persuaded by a gift of $406,977
raised or given entirely by women to
admit women when its Medical School
opened in 1893.

In the United States, all state-sup-
ported schools and universities, includ-
ing all their graduate and professional
schools, are now open to women stu-
dents. They are managed by elected
or appointed boards of control. It
will not be difficult for you in your
home towns to, see to it that. broad-

minded men .and- women, and if pos-
sible yourselves also, are. put on these
boards. They: will then’ elect broad-
minded presidents and principals and
will insist that the ability of women
teachers shall be rewarded by head-
ships of departments, school principal-
ships and university professorships.
Before closing I wish to express
again Bryn Mawyr’s great academic
debt to the Johns Hopkins University
and to its great first president, Daniel
C. Gilman, and to the first large don-
ors who came to Bryn Mawr’s support
when she could not H&ve developed
without such _hélp—to Mr. John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., who asked his father
to give us a power plant with light
and heat for, all our buildings, Rocke-
feller Hall,and td pay the deficit on
the Library; to Mary Elizabeth Gar-
rett, who gave us the great Saupe
Classical Library, rebuilt the Deanery,
created the Deanery Garden, made up
anonymously the annual deficits year
after year until the college income was
large enough to meet the annual ex-
penses, and then every year until her
death gave the college $10,000 a year
for the president’s emergency fund
and was always ready to help college
departments in which she was inter-
ested; to Carola Woerishoffer, an
alumna who left the college $750,000;
to our splendid Bryn Mawr alumnae
and former students who in four mag-
nificent drives have enabled the col-
lege that they love to give a better
and ever better education—our alum-
nae have given us in the 1900 drive
new buildings costing $732,273; in the
1910 drive an additional endowment
of $517,276 and $154,789 tvfognd fhe

endowment for raising the salaries of
professors; in the 1925 drive $457,000
for the Marjorie Walter Goodhart
Hall and an endowment of $200,000
for a Music Department, and now we
are to hear the result of the Fiftieth
Anniversary Alumnae Drive from
the wonderful chairman of the last
three alumnae drives who, if any one
can in this period of depression, will
have performed a miracle on behalf
of the Bryn Mawr College.

Bryn Mawr, November 4.—Sec-

scoring honors, Ballard accounting for
three of the points, Carpenter, two,

grand. total.

As Bryn Mawr was so rarely on the

time until the last ten minutes of the
second half. Though she had little
to do, it gave us a certain feeling of
assurance to have Seltzer back in her
old position. The halfback line
played a beautiful game. Delia Mar-

some lovely stickwork. The forwards

On the whole the second team did

Peace Demonstration Planned

- Information has been received from
Eleanor’ Sayre, the president of the
International Relations Club, that a
mass-meeting of the college is being
planned for some time -on Armistice
Day, November 11. It is hoped that
the peace demonstration can be held
at 11 o’clock, as this is the time when
Armistice Day will be observed
throughout the nation. This decision
rests with the faculty and announce-.
ments of the exact time of the meet-
ing will be announced after the de-
cision 6f the faculty is known. It is
planned to have speakers from both
the faculty and undergraduate body.
None of the speeches will be very long
and the whole occasion will not oc-.
cupy more than an hour. A large at-
tendance is desired to demonstrate
Bryn Mawyr’s peace sentiment at this
time of crisis in Africa.

THE COLLEGE NEWS





Private Colleges Are |
: National Institutions

donpesfeansin
- (These excerpts ifrom: the épeneh of
James Bryant Chhaint, president of

coéperation with the Alumnae Bul-
letin.) : ‘
I have elected to consider the more

country in the coming years.

Now in most respects the privately
endowed inStitutions for higher edu-
cation are on.exactly the same basis
as those supported by the states or
municipalities, but in regard to ce
tain educational phases of their aie
sion I believe they are in a somewhat
special situation.’ In the first place,
there is the much-discussed question
of the so-called liberal arts college and
its curriculum. It has been repeatedly

colleges have a privilpge in this regard
ys be accorded to
the publicly controlled institution.
They have both the privilege and the
heavy responsibility of carrying on
the ancient traditions of the liberal
arts college free from entangling alli-
ances with modern schemes for voca-
tional training and ee in-
struction.

While almost everyone recognizes
the importance of continuing the tra-
dition of the liberal arts college, it is
not an easy matter to translate this
aspiration into the concrete terms of
a college curriculum. We can easily
say what a liberal arts college should
not do, but it seems to be much more
difficult to say just what it should do.
The many articles which appear each
year on this subject illustrate the com-
plexity of the problem, and the variety
of answers which are beipg offered
testify to the ingenuity of those who
are concerned with higher education.
Without minimizing the importance of
all this experimentation I should like
to suggest that at times we. seem to
lose sight of the simple fact that the
first concern of any educational insti-
tution must be the calibre of the men
and women who compose its profes-
sorial staff. It is on their shoulders
that the liberal arts tradition must
be sustained and carried forward. .

If I understand the American col-
lege tradition correctly, the liberal
arts colleges today should not. worry
too much about whether to require a
knowledge of this or that, but. should
rather direct their energies primarily
to providing a faculty which ensures
the continuation of the university
spirit. What, after all, determines
whether a given course is part of a
liberal education or is merely pre-
vocational training? Clearly, the out-
look of the teacher. It is the spirit
of the faculty which counts, not the
size of the institution or the number
of degrees given. A college to be in
the university tradition does not have
to have around it a collection of
graduate and professional schools; it
does not even have to call itself a
university. If there be any who doubt
this let them examine and admire
what has been accomplished here at
Bryn Mawr in the past fifty”years.

A century and more ago there was
a standard academic discipline of
which the classics and mathematics
constituted the principal parts. All
those who had been exposed to a col-
lege education had been given the pre-
liminary part of a scholar’s training.
The importance of this has been re-
peatedly emphasized. It gave a solid
intellectual background to the college
graduates and made it possible for
them to feel that they had gone at
least part way down the sth avenue
of learning.

Our problem is to ‘continue’ the
ancient tradition in a modern spirit.
The future college student must be-



réction lie his or her intellectual gifts,
however modest they may be. His
courses must provide him with a sure

must be certain that in those precious
years he does not fail to acquire the

ticular subjects he should study.. I
believe that the essence of the liberal
arts college is: concentration and that
as a counteracting force to- what might
become a narrow specialized interest
we must set the “conversation with
men eminent in all the several parts
of learning.” This may seem too

‘| Vague to some educators, but I for one

am firmly convinced that when stu-
‘dents are provided with suitable con-

general question of the réle of the
“pttvately. endowed colleges in thi a» i ewercommunity life,

they can best acquire around the din-
ner table that breadth of interest
which we all desire. In this way will
come the realization that education is
not’a matter of taking courses, but
rather a point of -view which should
continue long’ after one pes left the
academic walls,

There is a second and still more
important special function which the
privately endowed colleges must fufill.
They have the opportunity of being
national institutions in a sense which
is all but impossible for the publicly
supported colleges dependent on local
taxes, the chief concern of which is
quite rightly with the boys and gifls
of the city or state in which they are
located. The privately endowed col-
lege, on the other hand, may draw its
students from all the forty-eight
states in the Union and provide a
milieu where the east and west, the
north and the south, may come to
know each other and understand each
other’s problems. Sectionalism is the
bane of any country and in spite of
the improved means of communica-
tion is still a powerful force. In our
colleges it may be largely overcome;
in our academic communities we have
the privilege of accomplishing that
synthesis of local tradition and pride
which must be the basis for a healthy
national federalism. If our privately
endowed colleges extend their scope
sufficiently, they: may assist in solv-
ing what might otherwise become once
again an ugly political problem.

We need in -this far-flung demo-
cratic country of ours not only a meet-
ing of men and women from all points
of the compass, but an intermi ng
of students from different econ
and social backgrounds. Whether we
approve of it or not, a great many
factors probably will force the na-

.| tional life during the next few decades

to become more highly stratified. The
frontier vanished some time ago, the
population promises soon to be con-
stant, and even without being a pessi-
mist about the future one can predict
that we are not likely to have anothér
great adventurous period when every-
one who was born on a farm could
look forward to dying in a fashionable
residence in a large city. Now, un-
less promising talent is given every
opportunity for higher education, our
democracy will fail to realize the
great potentialities which are inherent
in our widely developed public school
system. Our colleges and universi-
ties, therefore, must extend their tap-
roots until they reach all classes of
society. The country needs the ser-
vices of the best minds and the finest
characters. We cannot afford to let
the accident of birth cripple the edu-
cational opportunities of youths of
promise.

My plea would be that for a certain
number of carefully selected students
we increase this contribution from the
public expense up to a point, if neces-
sary, where not only the whole tuition
fee but the cost of room, board and
books be met for: the entire college
course. Our privately endowed col-
leges, if they are to be the educational
mixing pots of the country, must see
to it that a considerable number of
scholarships’ with large stipends are
provided for the boy or girl with great
ability but no money. Only thus can
the road to the top through these edu-
cational institutions be kept open ‘and
the spirit of democracy as well as
healthy nationalism prevail in our
halls of learning.

letin.)

So long as men write the histories,
women will continue to lament the ab-
sgnce of the feminine perspective. In
spite of their fame as talkers—ahd
far be it for me to disparage the gift
—women have talked too little in
print. The facts of the world that
are piling up for analysis by the next

generation of historians are cast in
the, masculine mould.
In. the letter from your President
requesting me to address yout «today
there is reference to the. cordial. re-
lations existing between Bryn Mawr
and the Johns Hopkins University. In
the face of that kind allusion \I am

ready .to concede everything that she |’

or others may claim for the edueatioh
of women. _The- greatness of women,
their magnanimity, their generosity
was never §
in the history of the relations of these
two institutions. For she need have
gone back but a little way in history
to find material that might have~ led
her to’ phrase her ihvitation in quite
different form. To the present Dean
of the Johns*Hopkins Medical School,
Dr. Alan M. Chesney, I am indebted
for the following resumé which will,
I am sure, interest Miss Thomas and
so interest all of you likewise.

The. Johns Hopkins university
opened its doors in 1876 and one year
later the trustees of that institution
were brought face to face with the
problem of the admission of women
as students, As is not unusual, a spe-
cific case which had to be.settled was
the means; of bringing the general
problem squarely before the authori-
ties of the university.

A young Baltimore woman, then but
twenty years of age, who had just
received her A. B. degree from Cornell
University, applied for admission to
the Johns Hopkins University, seeking
to study for the A. M, degree under
the late Professor Gildersleeve. This
young lady was Miss M. Carey
Thomas, a member of a well-known
family of Baltimore and herself a
daughter of one of the trustees of the
university. Miss Thomas’ request was
considered at a meeting of the Board
of Trustees on November 5, 1877, and
the board voted to grant it, but in
so doing, attached an extraordinary
condition, to her admission. In the
board’s own words, she was “to have
direction of studies by the university
professors, and the final examination
for degrees without class attendance
in the university.”

“To the Board of Trustees: of the
Johns Hopkins University, Gentle-
men:

“A year ago by your kindness I was
admitted into the Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity! as a candidate for a second
degree.) I naturally supposed that
this would have permitted me to share
in the; unusual facilities afforded to
post graduate students under the able
instruction of Professor Gildersleeve.
But the condition ‘without class at-
tendance’ has been understood to ex-
clude’ me from attendance upon the
Greek seminarium and the advanced
instruction given to the other post
graduate students of the university.

“T have thus found myself dependent
upon such assistance as Professor
Gildersleeve could give at the expense
of his own time and which, notwith-
standing his great personal kindness,
I hesitate to encroach upon. My ob-
ject in entering the university was not
so much to obtain a degree, as to profit
by the inestimable assistance Profes-
sor Gildersleeve gives his pupils. A
trial of a year, during which I re-
ceived no help other than advice in
reference to my course of reading and
the privilege of passing an examina-
tion, has convinced me that the assist-
ance referred to cannot, under the
present regulations, be obtained. I
make this explanation to you, in order
that my withdrawal may not be
prejudicial to any other applicant and
because, as far as I have been in-
formed, the only official recognition
of my relation to the university exists
upon your minutes. Respectfully,

“M., C. THOMAS.”

To the credit of the Board of Trus-
tees of the university it should be said
that Miss Thomas’ letter was _ not
pigeon-holed, but was incorporated in
the minutes of the board and thus
became a part of the formal records
of the Johns Hopkins University, a
‘fact which, so far as I know, has not
been revealed to Miss Thomas until
this moment. :

The attitude of the authorities of
the university at that time forced Miss
Thomas to go to Europe to pursue her
studies and in 1882, four years after
she left Hopkins, she received the de-
gree of Doctor of Philosophy summa
cum laude at the University of Zu-
rich. Two years later she set about
organizing Bryn Mawr College. It
is to the-everlasting credit of Miss
Thomas that she did not allow the
Hopkins incident to abate in any way
her warm friendship for the Baltimore



strikingly revealed as:

institution, as we shall see later when.
“we come to the opening of seal Medical

School.

Mikes ond. and again unsuccessful at-
women to breach the walls of | t

the Johns Hopkins University :was

made in 1880, two years after Miss

‘Thomas’ departure.

In spite df these two set-backs, how-
ever, the women kept up their siege:

ality, the ladies bought off the trus-
tees of the Johns Hopkins University
for the sum of $500,000, the price
being set by the trustees. themselves!
It is true that the women did not get
a complete and unconditional surren-
der, but they got -a most’ important
concession, namely, their admission to
the Medical School on the same terms
as men. They gave the university a
half million dollars for a Medical
School and attached that condition to
their gift. The trustees of the uni-
versity, no doubt weary from their
struggles to preserve the ifstitution’s
finances, and tired of postponing the
opening of the Medical School, wisely
capitulated at once and with good
grace. This opening of the Medical
School to women paved the way for
the later opening to them of other
schools in the university:

In the matter of securing a Medical
School for the Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity, Miss Thomas played a most im-
portant part, and demonstrated there-
by her warm friendship for the uni-
versity. A national committee of
women had been formed for the pur-
pose of raising a sum. of money in
order to secure in the United States
opportunities for medical education
for women. The Baltimore committee
engaged in this task was headed by
Mrs. Nancy Morris .David. By the
year 1890 it had gathered together
$100,000 and ‘the committee proceeded
to offer this sum to the trustees of
the Johns Hopkins University for a
medical school if the trustees would
agree to admit women to the school
upon the same terms as men. The
trustees accepted the money and the
condition, but stipulated that the
school should not be opened until a
total of $500,000 was actually in hand.
The committee kept on working and

‘| by the latter part of 1892 had gath-

ered together $193,023, all told. On
December 22 of that year Miss
Mary Elizabeth Garrett, of Baltimore,
informed thé trustees of the university
that she would give the balance of the
half million dollar fund to make pos-

Medicine. MissiGarrett’s gift was re-
ported at a special meeting of the
Board of Trustees of the university
held on Christmas Eve, 1892, and the
resolutions passed at that meeting
leave no doubt as to the satisfaction
occasioned by the receipt of such a
magnificent Christmas present. There.
is no doubt that Miss Thomas, who
was Miss Garrett’s most intimate
friend and advisor up to the time of
her death, played a major role in in-
teresting Miss Garrett in the cause
of medical education for women and
in influencing her to give her splendid
donation for this purpose to the Johns
Hopkins. University.

W. R. Smith Discusses
Europe In Ethiopia





Tri-Partite Scramble of France,
England, Italy In Abyssinia
: Is Long, Bitter

BRITAIN ABETTED ITALY





Common Room, Oct. 30: In his lec-
ture to the members and guests of
the International Relations Club, Dr.
Smith traced the history of European
relations with Ethiopia and discussed
the effects of the present situation on
Great Britain. The scramble for co-
lonial possessions in Africa began at
the time of the completion of the
Suez Canal, and Britain’s policy has
been in a large measure to check the
imperial ambitions of France by en-
couraging Italian activities in Ethio-
pia. This is one reason why the Ital-
ians today are so bitter against Eng-
land’s support of Ethiopia. One of
the most disastrous results of the war
already has been the increased racial
feeling; England with her many pos-
sessions in Asia and Africa is par-| i
ticularly threatened ‘by this. In the
past she has 1 affected, especially
in India, by Italian defeat at
Adowa in 1896 and by the Russian



defeat at the hands of the Japanese.

and finally won out. ee ae
money that carried the day. In re-]

The three European powers most
interested in. (Ethiopia, England,
France and Italy?have all had oppor-
tunities to establish ‘dominion over
this part of Africa, but the present
war is the first which is intended to
make a colony of. the Abyssinian Em-
pire..
been dependent on her interests in
Egypt. With Egypt secure, her aims
are. tn maintain her territorial pres-

through the Red Sea, and to protect
the water supply of Egypt. The Blue
Nile arises in foreign territory, and
today with modern engineering meth-
ods available, Italy or any power con-

river at» its source. ~ This..is, fortu-
nately, a remote possibiliy, but a very
real one to the British. 6

Before England got possession of
Egypt following the uprising in the
Sudan in 1880, she had invaded Ethi-
opia as a result of the “strong-arm
methods” of the Emperor Theodore
II, who in 1855 had imprisoned and
maltreated the British Ambassador
and the envoys who were sent from
England. An expedition under Lord
Napier in 1868 practically annihilated
the Ethiopian Empire, but this enor-
mous advantage was not followed up
by the British. They were not yet
interested in colonial expansion.

At about this time France bought
the port of Obok in the course of her
war in Indo-China, but she did not
immediately build up a colony.
in 1869 bought the port of Assab
which remained unoccupied for some
time. With the completion of the
Suez Canal in 1880, however, the
powers began to extend their interests.
England had scarcely approved of the
building of the Canal but she soon
realized the great importance of such
a passage to the East. Italy occupied
now not only ‘Assab but a large region
around it, now-known as Eritrea.
France made a treaty -with the local
rulers to get Djibouti-and began to
build up French Somaliland.

These activities alarmed Great
Britain who acquired Zeila, closing in
upon the French possessions. France
was thus forced to turn inland instead
of expanding along the coast, and she

Abyssinia to make up for this limita-
tion of her territory. England, at all
times eager to prevent France from
attaining importance in Africa, wel-
comed the activities of Italy in build-
ing up the Italian Somaliland. Actu-

sible the opening of the School of iplly by a treaty it was assumed that

Ethiopia should become an Italian
protectorate; and’ when the Italians
were defeated at Adowa by the Ethi-
opians, England was so alarmed that
she began at once to reconquer the
Sudan. She also was instrumental in
arranging an international board of
directors for the railroad which
France wished to build between
Djibouti and Addis Ababa.

In 1906, when it was clear that
neither of the three powers could have
sole control of Abyssinia, a tri-partite
treaty was signed, guaranteeing the
political and territorial integrity of
the Empire of Ethiopia. This was
practically nullified by the inclusion
of a clause providing for certain
“spheres of influence,” should any un-
toward event occur; Italy should get
the belt of land joining Eritrea and
the Italian Somaliland, making a half-
circle around French Somaliland,
France should have certain economic
interests in the hinterland and Britain
should get control of Lake Tsana, the
source of the Blue Nile.

England actually violated this
treaty by making another with Italy
in 1925, without consulting France.
A third was signed in 1928 by Italy
and Ethiopia, providing that all dis-
putes between them during the next
twenty-five years should be arbitrated.

As always, England is determined
to support the League of Nations. A
recent plebescite of the British people
upheld this principle and drove out of
office Sir John Simon, whose fre-
quently vacillating policy sometimes
tended to give the idea that England
would not interfere with Italy’s con-
quest of Ethiopia—an idea which the
Italians at present are emphasizing
with great bitterness.

Women Scientists Owe

Bryn Mawr Great Debt



(Excerpts from speech of Dr. Flor-
ence Rena Sabin.) =

President Park:

I cannot express adequately to you
and to your committee the pleasure I
fel; in, yecejving this prize, for there
is disti_ictionte-an. honor-which bears

- the name of M. Carey Thomas.

I confess at once that any award

. for work \in science must awake a cer-

tain sense of timidity; for one can
never be gure that research will stand,
How oftén have the’ supposed facts
and thepries of: the very ablest been
reversed by new evidence?

But why does an honor from Bryn
Mawr touch so deep a sense of grati-
tude? ‘It is because of the. traditions
of this place and all that they have

meant for schalarship and for women. |:

I remember so vividly getting the feel

of this on the occasion, now thirteen |*

years ago, when Miss Thomas retired
from the presidency of the college.
There was not a single person who
spoke at that time, former members
of the faculty and former students

alike, who did not bring out that the;

influence of Miss Thomas’ had been in
a quite unique manner fostering
toward high standards of work. What
gratification it must be to her, Presi-
dent Park, that you have the same
feeling for scholarship and that you
have carried on and extended the high
traditions of Bryn Mawr.

It seems to me fitting that I should
speak of certain points concerning the
influence of Miss Thomas on educa-
tion in science. As it well known,
the greatest function of the president
of any institution of learning is the
choosing of a faculty. Moreover, real
ability for this function consists in
having the insight to select scholars
while they ‘are still young, before they
have demonstrated their full power.
To use only one example, but that one
striking enough, the early faculty of
Bryn Mawr College ‘included three
young men who became our most dis-
tinguished biologists. Edmund B.
Wilson, Thomas Hunt Morgan and
Jacques Loeb have given American
biology world pre-eminence.

I, want next to dwell on the influ-
ence which Miss Thomas exerted on
medical education. The opening of
the Johns Hopkins Medical School in
1892 was made possible by a fund
raised by a group of women led by
Miss Thomas and Miss Mary E. Gar-
rett, of Baltimore. The money for
this fund was in the main contributed
by Miss Garrett, but far more impor-
tant than the actual gift of money,
which determined the time of opening
of the new medical school, were the
conditions under which the fund was
given and accepted. I*think that Miss
Garrett would be especially pleased
to have us here recognize the role
which Miss Thomas played in this
event. She laid down the conditions
Which were to be met, namely, a col-
lege degree or its equivalent, a knowl-
edge of physics, chemistry and biology,
proficiency in foreign languages, and
the admission of women on the same
terms as men. The adoption of these
requirements for admission to the
medical school in Baltimore lifted the
standards of the whole medical pro-
fession in this country and made medi-
cine a graduate subject.

May I now say a word about women
in science? Since we are still told
that women are an inferior group in
the affairs of the mind, I propose to
ask the question, What new data on
this subject have the past fifty years
brought forth? It is important to
discuss this matter dispassionately
and quite without emotion—as I, for
one, perhaps could not have done forty
years ago. Forty years of study in
science have convinced me that the
book of human progress has not been
closed and the possibilities of develop-
ment are not yet defined. We admit
at once that no great volume of sci-
entific work has yet been done by
women. But is there any work by
women, judged rigidly “by the same
standards as for men,” which is of
such high quality that it marks a
milestone in scientific progress?

In answer to this question, I wish
to speak of the work of three women,
all of them European, whose work in
science has this common characieris-
tic, that it has opened up whole new
fields of knowledge. oe

I shall not linger to prove the point
about Madame Curie, for her share
in opening up the subjeet of radio-
activity and its significance in reveal-
ing. the structure of matter are too

well established to need emphasis.
-My second name is less well known.
As little more than fifty years ago
there was a young girl of nineteen in
a small town of north Germany, with
a strong bent for research; but when
her brother went to the University of
Goettingen she, according to the -cus-
toms of her country, remained at
home. Agnes Pockels had observed
the streaming of currents when salts
were put into: solution and, by attach-
ing a float to a balance, had found
that salts increased the pull of the

surface of the fluid. In other words,

she had discovered surface tension.
This was in 1881. For ten years she
went on studying the properties of
solutions quite alone in her own home.
Then the renowned English physicist,
Lord Rayleigh, began to publish on
this subject, and so she wrote to him
about her work. He sent a transla-
tion of her letter to the’ English jour-
nal Nature, asking that it be pub-
lished. He wrote that the first part
of the letter covered nearly the same
ground as his own recent work and

‘that with ® very “homely appliances”

she had arrived at valuable results
respecting the behavior of contaminat-
ed water surfaces.

Here in Bryn Mawr College you will
know the third example before she is
mentioned. Emmy Noether is admit-
ted by her peers into that small group
of the world’s greatest mathema-
ticians. She was one of that brilliant
group of mathematicians at Goettin-
gen whom fate has scattered into
many lands. Her field was algebra.

And now, President Park, Einstein
has said that the last eighteen months
of Emmy Noether’s life, spent as they
were on your faculty, were the hap-
piest and most fruitful of her career.
Surely these words are your enduring
reward. And it is clear enough that
your influence has not been limited
to the walls of Bryn Mawr College.
All women everywhere who care for
the things of the mind. are in your
debt. I feel especially happy that this
occasion gives me the chance to be
spokesman of our gratitude. Our debt
is not. only because throughout your
administration you have ‘held up the
high traditions of this college, but far
more because during a period of. his-
tory when powerful forces seek to
sensitize the mind of the whole world
to prejudice, you have shown that you
place intellect first.



Colleges, Universities
Are Home of Science



(These excerpts from the speech of
Dr. Simon Flexner, retired head of the
Rockefeller Institute, are made with

the codperation of the Alumnae Bul-|

letin.)

I like to think of today’s award in
the light of the chosen professidn of
the founder of the college, Doctor
Taylor, and its first president, Doctor
Rhoads, and reflect on the delight and
satisfaction they would have found
in it, and how their faith in the higher
education of women woyld have been

strengthened and uplifted.

... The place of the biochemist in
the newer medicine cannot be over-
rated. His work has passed from the
study of the dead constituents of
organs and tissues to the far more
difficult and subtle investigation of the
chemical changes which occur, in the
living cell in both the normal and. the

pathological state> .And_ the
which the younger sister science of
biophysics is playing is only less sig-
nificant and fundamental than that of
biochemistry. In both cases, the ap-
plication of new methods and the in-
vention and employment of more exact
and sensitive apparatus, have had a
determining share in the progress
made. It is a far cry from the chance
discovery by Galvani in 1786 of the
action of electric currents on muscles,
to the perfection by Einthoven of the
string galvanometer or electrocardio-
graph in 1903, later much improved,
which registers in a language of tele-
graphic symbols that the instructed
can read and interpret, the motions of
the several chambers of the heart; and
the invention of delicate thermopiles
and the application of the vacuum
tube to the measurement of the chem-
ical heat production and the excited
electric impulses of nerves in action.

These things are now becoming the
daily practices of the biological, chem-
ical and physical laboratories, not of
medical schools only, but of colleges
and universities. The applications
being made and to be made are too
numerous to mention, and new ones
are arising almost daily. How neces-
sary, therefore, that a college with
the advanced standards of Bryn Mawr
should offer its students laboratory
facilities where this new, indispen-
sable, fruitful knowledge can _ be
taught and extended. I am, there-

fore, more deeply gratified than I can}.

well express that a major purpose to
which funds now being secured by the
alumni are to be applied in the erec-
tion of a new laboratory to supplement
Dalton Hall, built forty years ago,
and for its time a model laboratory,
now necessarily inadequate and out of
date.

The natural home of science is the
college and university. It is there
that the student is exposed at an early
age to the fascinations of its pursuit,
and it is there also that those price-
less years from seventeen to twenty-
one can be employed in the acquisition
of technical skill as well as scientific
knowledge. To the facilities of the
college and university there have been
added those of other institutions in
which science is cultivated. The re-
search institute will, however, not take
the place of the college; it will sup-
plement and extend the opportunity
for selected scientists, and provide
limited postgraduate study for young-





INCREASE SEEN IN
LAUNDRY SHIPPING

The practice of sending laundry
home seems to be becoming a pop-
ular fad throughout the country,
according to a Railway Express
report, which organization sur-
veyed over one hundred colleges
recently, located in every State in
the Union.

Realizing that many young men
and women students have a definite
interest in, “home-laundered”
thihgs, Railway Express, quick to
anticipate public requirements, de-
‘veloped the business on a wide-
spread scale. The prompt pick-up
and delivery service provi for
the laundry, both outbound and
inbound, together with the ex-
tremely reasonable rates, have been
responsible for the popularity of
the idea. Laundry is now second

. only in importance to the baggage
business which Railway Express
handles from colleges and schools,
said the local agent. See page 6.

part;er men and women. We may liken the



purposes of the research institutes of
the day to those of the learned acad-
emies which arose in the seventeenth
century. Eoth came at a time when
scientific knowledge was expand'ng
rapidly, when many technical devices
were being invented and _ perfected,
and when the speed of discovery out-
ran the ability of the colleges to keep
pace with the new dovclopments, and
the need for more intimate associa-
tion among investigators and volun-
tary codperation came to be felt. The
learned academies have continued to
function, although in a manner differ-
ent from that to which they owe their
origin. The research institutions will
also, I believe, continue to flourish,
drawing on the colleges and universi-
ties for staff, and repaying them in
the special opportunities afforded.
But the main research will continue in
the far-flung colleges, at least so long
as the curricula make room for it,
since the combination of teacher and
investigator is a highly favorable one
to the development of individual tal-
ent. .. . Happy is the college which
accounts among its faculty teachers
possessing stimulating personalities;



and thrice happy the teacher who may .
point to pupils whose accomplishments
exzel his own! >

And now, Doctor Sabin, I desire to
salute you in the name of your asso- ©
ciates at the Rockefeller Institute,
and your confréres everywhere. Your
fruitful years of teaching and re+
search, in which you united a love of’
work and a love, of. your pupils, have
won you an abiding place in the hearts

of your cont oraries and have made

congratulate the college on the pos-

session of this prize to bestow on an

tinction.



Miss Comstock Praises
Scholarship Standards



(Excerpts from the address made
by Ada Louise Comstock, President of
Radcliffe College.)

To speak on this occasion for the
colleges for women is a more than
sufficient responsibility. Yet inade-
quately though the word will be
spoken, I should like to think that it
represented not only the colleges for
women but that far greater number
of institutions of higher learning
which we call coeducational. Only so
may the influence of Bryn Mawr upon
the higher education of women be es-
timated. Among those who shall call
her blessed today are many women
who never set foot in a college for
women, but whose nurture has been»
enriched and whose opportunities have
been wider because of the claims Bryn
Mawr has made and the prejudices
she has dispelled. For all college: and
university women this is a festival
day.

If this great army of women might
be conceived of as converging upon
Bryn Mawr today, laden with garlands
and chanting praises, there would be,
I venture to say, an image of a per-
son as well as of an institution in
their eyes—the image of the woman
who for twenty-eight years served as
its president. Many tributes . have
been paid Miss Thomas, and I doubt
whether they have made much im-
pression upon her; but I should think

quarreled, praised, blamed, worked
with, Bryn Mawr.”

- After the four speeches of the morn-
ing (the © texts. of which ‘are given
elsewhere), Mrs. F. L. Slade, of
New York, chairman of the Fiftieth
Anniversary Fund and a director of
Bryn Mawr College, made her an-
nouncement concerning the alumnae
gift and promised completion of the
million-dollar fund by June. She an-
nounced that the alumnae have raised
to.date three-quarters of the money
promised, $750,000, and that the
library will be called the M. Carey
Thomas Library. An inscription to
that effect has been. placed over the
entrance.

Her report included sires special
gifts, two of them memorials: the
Marjorie Jefferies Wagoner Memorial
of $50,570, the Quita Woodward
Memorial of $90,000 and an anony-
mous gift of $50,000 by a member
of the class of 1889. “When the drive
first began, the class of 1918 asked
to be allowed to give a room in the
proposed new building in memory of
one of its members, Marjorie Jefferies
Wagoner, who died at the end of the
academic year of 1934, after ten years
of skillful and devoted service to the
college as its physician. In consulta-
tion with Dr. Wagoner’s family, the
- library of the new Science Building
was chosen and with the president of
the class of 1918 as chairman a com-
mittee was formed to raise the sum
of $50,000 to be used for this room.
The fund is now complete and repre-
sents contributions from Dr. Wagon-
er’s classmates, from her other friends
and from her family, from the faculty
and staff: of the college, from every
undergraduate in the college in the
year 1934-35 and from the classes of
1925, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930,
1931 arid 1933. ;
“The gift of $90,000 made by Dr.
and Mrs. George Woodward, of Chest-
nut Hill, Philadelphia, in memory of
the daughter, Quita, who graduated
from Bryn Mawr.in 1932 and who
died in 1933, was increased by the
contributions of her own class of 1932
and of the sister class of 1934, as
well as individual gifts. From her
freshman year until she graduated
she held not only the respect but the
love of everyone who knew her. Her
fine_sportsmanship,_her gentleness,
her courage,; her scholarship—all
marked her as an outstanding under-
graduate. It is especially gratifying
to the college to have her family honor
it by .signifying with this gift the
fact which her father stated that she
spent four of the happiest years of
her all too short life at Bryn Mawr.
The foundation stone laid by ‘her
father and mother assure the building
of this much-needed’ wing to the
library for Art and Archaeology, to
be known as the Quita Woodward
wing, as: soon as the fund is suf-
ficient.

“A third gift, one which will touch
the heart of everyone present, is $50,-
000 given anonymously *y a member
of the class of 1889—$1000 for each
year of Bryn Mawr College in tribute
to President-emeritus M. Carey
Thomas.” ‘

President Park received the gift
and expressed the deep thanks of the
college. A gift from the graduates of
a college, however, is a gift from the
college itself. A large university: ex-
ists in part to pass on treasures of
learning, but a small college like Bryn
Mawr is founded to offer certain op-
portunities. It is “fine, but it is also
natural’ for its graduates to renew
and aid these opportunities.

“The new resources you offer us
will allow us to open more doors to
your successors. AS far as. Bryn
Mawr can dissociate itself from you, I
express its deep and lasting grati-
tude.”

The M. Carey Thomas’ Prize was
awarded to Dr. Florence Rena Sabin
in the afternoon program. In pre-
senting it President Park explained
the history of the award. It “was
established at the time of Miss

Thomas’ retirement from the presi-

dency of Bryn Mawr College in 1922.
- The givers, her ows students and her
friends, in turning the fund over to
\ oe committee, directed that from time







‘a second time on a memorable occasion
four years ago to Miss Jane Addams.
In the last months the committee has

| been. considering its third award.

“T:s choice has fallen oh a scientis:
and a teacher of scientists—one whose
work then is to extend beyond her
own lifetime. -A graduate of Smith
College, the Johns Hopkins . Medical
School, Professor of Anatomy at
Johns Hopkins for twelve years and
Professor of Histology for eight
more, for the past ten years member
of the Rockefeller Institute, in 1924-
26 President of the American Asso-
ciation of Physiologists, the first and
only woman member of the National
Academy of Science, Dr. Sabin has de-
voted her own: research first to the
development of the lymphatic’ system,
then to the histology of the blood, the
development and functions of the
blood forming organs, the embryology
of the blood vessels, and since 1929 to
tuberculosis. At Johns Hopkins and
at the Institute she has been a bril-
liant and admired teacher and her
pupils are in important positions in
medical schools -and __ laboratories
throughout the country.”

After the speech by Dr. Flexner,
the newly-retired head of the Rocke-
feller Institute for Medical Research
and the man with whom Dr. Sabin
has been associated in the last period
of her work, President Park gave
Dr. Sabin the prize. Dr. Sabin’s pu-
pils, she said, have praised her imagi-
nation and skill. “And all of us whose
experiences and ways of living -are
affected directly or indirectly by such
work as you and your fellow-workers
have done need to recognize our debt.
This award to you is in small measure
a symbol of such payment.”

Dr. Sabin’s speech of acceptance is
published on page 5.

Dr. Flexner’s speech is on page 5.

In her introductory speech for the
morning exercises President Park out-
lined the history of the college. The

Dr. Joseph Wright Taylor, a Quaker.
His purpose, to found “an institution
to. give young -women the opportuni-
ties for education Offered so freely to
young men” was carried on by the
Quaker Board of Trustees, and espe-
cially by the first President, Dr. James
E. Rhoads. The second President,
M.. Carey Thomas, had, as dean,
helped to organize those plans before
the college opened, and she carried
them out in her long years of presi-
dency. She was succeeded in 1922
bythe present president.

Bryn Mawr still provides for the
needs .of women graduate students,
and the graduate school has sent out
388 M. A.’s and 190 Ph. D.’s. Four-
teen are deans in women’s colleges
and universities, and many teach on
university and college faculties. The
heavy demands on instruction, library,
and laboratory this work makes are
gladly met, arid they help raise the
standard of the undergraduate work.
2782 students have been graduated
from Bryn Mawr, and everywhere
they take their share in community
responsibilities.

It is, however, not by virtue of these
facts that Bryn Mawr celebrates the
end of fifty years of her work. “It is
because that work has seemed to her
graduates worthwhile, to have given
them an education which has enabled
them as individuals to earn a living,
to enjoy leisure, to work with other
people in a family or a community,
to prize the things of the mind, to
have some notion of what civilization
should mean and some interest in con-
tributing to it.
which are few but our debt_to her
which is great that we commemorate
today.”

President Conant was the first
speaker in the morning program. In
introducing him, President Park said
that he spoke for the great community
of American colleges and universities
into which Bryn Mawr is only a late
comer. There are many likenesses
between Bryn Mawr and Harvard,
both in. admission and curriculum.

the halls several decades ago, but they

them the service and conveniences
about which the present students so
incessantly complain were luxury and
perfection. What must have been
those dark and dreary days. before
the twentieth century dawned! The
contrast raised the spirits of these
alumnae to a pitch far exceeding
youthful exuberance. When the Rock-|

and swept their excessively neat
rooms, they sighed to think of the im-

History of College

Mawr at its best holds definite re-
flections. This was true fifty years
ago and again today. The Quaker
in us makes us advance cautiously,
often to keep old and new together
for a long time. Partly that caution
has kept the end of Bryn Mawr’s
first fifty years close to their be-
ginning. But more important is
the fact that in a college deliber-
ately kept small, deliberately unified



habitants were exiles wandering in
foreign halls. The luckier of them, |
it is true, took refuge with nearby |
friends and relatives; nevertheless, |
many found themselves driven ‘from
home with only a tooth brush and
sometimes not even that to sustain
them. One martyr who was sent to
Denbigh refused to speak more than
the following of her experiences there:
“T couldn’t face breakfast; and I went
out for lunch; but I had to eat dinner
there. Ye gods!” Taciturnity can

in preparation and’ scheme of work,
with Miss Thomas’ vigor and cer-
tainty to direct it all, the carefully
articulated plans for entrance re-
quirements and degree requirements
worked successfully enough to need
no major changes,”

The only: grave mistake in *Bryn
Mawr’s history that Miss Park ad-
mitted in her address was the
shameful lack of closets in the
building of Merion, a fact, however,

caustic comment will suffice. A drowsy |

“Sleep? Do you expect me to sleep!

Pembroke received most praise and
blame; and since it came from home-
sick hearts, the blame’ predominated.
The distance of the bathrooms from
the bedrooms, and the relatively public
equipment_as compared with the mod-
est privacy of Rockefeller aroused bit-

Despite the barrenness, to the mod-
ern eye, of the three early build-
ings and the three frame _hoises,
called the Deanery, the Scenery, and
the Betweenery, the college flour-
ished from the beginning and in-
cluded among its first’ faculty and
student body. many eminent scholars
and ‘prominent women. It has grown

of’ 2

wzan‘zation of the life on the
campus.

The comical lantern siides
early undergraduates which Miss

Park showed at’ theconclusion of
her address were given life and
color in the second half of the pro-
gram by Miss Skinner, Mrs. Flex-
ner, who was in charge of that part
of the evening, and twenty-four
members of the college choir. The
monologue, A Campus Idyll, was a
splendid contribution to the histori-
cal sketches by one of Bryn Mawr’s
most gifted alumnae, Miss’ Skinner.
The young girl of the eighties, en-
tering Bryn Mawyr’s first class, who
loved her. fiancé enough to give up
college but would not. give it up,
was acted on Friday with the finesse
and grace that only Miss Skinner
can attain. In her absence on Sat-
urday night, Mrs. Flexner assumed
the difficult role with a realism and
expertness that charmed the alum-
nae and student’ audience.

In bright and colorful costumes
loaned in part by alumnae, under-
graduates sang in the drooping
group attitudes of the period the
first class song, Manus Bryn Mawr-
ensium, written by Dr. Paul Shorey.
‘The second skit was the hilarious
athletic song of ’97, We're the
finest type of twentieth century
woman, which celebrated the first
Bryn Mawr basketball team. The
famous oral song For; we - ‘read
French and German at’ sight was
laid on Taylor steps; and a mock
Lantern Night ceremony with real
lanterns was performed with splen-
did singing of Pallas Athene and
moving realism.

But the light of learning extended
to women, which Lantern Night in
part symbolizes, took years in “the
patient work of preparation,” into
which Miss Park gave the audience

one: which appeared in print nearly
twenty years ago might have ponsed
as well as any:

“Tt would be not only ungracious
but unjust to fail to make mention of
Miss Thomas’s extraordinary achieve-
ment in the building up of the insti-
tution over whose development she
has presided. To her resolute insist-
ence on the maintenance of high
standards, to her inexhaustible energy
and her personal force, must be
ascribed the placing of Bryn Mawr in
that high and unique position which
it occupies among women’s colleges,”

Bryn Mawr, from the-outset, claimed

a

for the education of women the beauty

of setting and the amenities of’living
which at the time were but little con-
sidered in American institutions and
are only now taking their place as
cultural influences. Assuming what
Professor Paul Shorey called her
“erenellated and machicolated splen-
dor of architectural investiture,” or-
ganizing her domestic arrangements
with a view to physical ease and com-
fort and to the maintenance of a
pleasant social life, Bryn Mawr recog-
nized earlier than other colleges have
done the part that the surroundings
and the circumstances of daily life
must play in the effect updn students
of those four “brief irrevocable years.”

So much is obvious; but another
ideal which has always seemed to me
to animate Bryn Mawr. I have never



heard avowed. Since learning began
there have been in all generations a
few examples of what one may call
the learned lady. Som*times théy
have been royal or noble; always, ex-
cept for a few instances in our own
country, they have had a background
of wealth. In every city'the memory of
such ladies is treasured; and more
than. once I have heard: colleges
charged, not only with their failure
to increase the number of such rare
beings, but with the production of con-
ditions which vent them from de-
veloping. Perhaps Bryn Mawr has
been’aware of that reproach. Perhaps
her adherencé to smallness, her stress
on the graces of living, her insistence
Jr a time upon a different between
her. own, methods and standards and
those of other institutions were rooted
in .a-hope that through her the genus
learned lady might be perpetuated and
increased.

Of another aspiration which has
been of wide service to the education
of women, Bryn Mawr has made no
secret. Her standard of scholarship
has had an uncompromising rigor.
Easy-going, slipshod, casual—can any-
one imagine the application of such
terms to the intellectual discipline of
Bryn Mawr?

Through her faculty and their par-
ticipation in the scholarly activities of
this country, through her graduate
students who became members of
faculties in other institutions, most’ of
all through the perpetual witness
borne by all Bryn Mawr women to
the seriousness and the vitality of
their intellectual discipline, Bryn

lege for women could not. only meet
the best standards of the day but could
infuse a new vigor into the pursuit of
scholarship.

A share of the praise which we of-
fer to" Bryn Mawr today should, I
think, be devoted to her perspicacity
in divining thegart which it was open
to her to play. To the public she
demonstrated that higher education
for women was not merely a means of
preparation for earning a_ livelihood,
that it was not apologetic or imitative,
but that it was capable of making a
distinct and original contribution to
the academic life of our times.

now try—are now trying—to give ac-'
tive aid in the attack on the common
foe. igher education as I see it has
alwayS@mefore it three insoluble prob-
lems, 0 ther, three reconciliations
with which it must always struggle.
One is the reconciliation which Mr.
Meiklejohn once termed that of de-
mocracy and distinction. To make
higher education accessible to the
many, and, at the same time, chal-
lenging and satisfying to the superior
few is a puzzle susceptible only of an
approximate solution. Here such a
college as Bryn Mawr, high in reputa-
tion but determined to remain small
in numbers, may make a. valuable con-
tribution in developing better, juster,
more intelligent Standards of selection
of candidates for admission.











with which higher education must be

perpetually concerned is.that between:

extensiveness and intensiveness. How
broadly informed should one be who
aspires.to the Bachelor of Arts degree,
and how can such breadth be recon-
ciled with the depth and thoroughness
in some field which is essential to in-
tellectual discipline? Here the col-
leges for women have an opportunity
to ‘contribute something in practice
and theory. Even ‘today, when so
many women are -preparing them-
selves to earn a living, the idea’ of
education for its own sake is perhaps
(though I am aware of some of the
exceptions which might well be taken
to this statement) somewhat more
readily accepted in them than in the
colleges for men. The conception of
the cultivated woman as interpreted
in the women’s colleges has its part
to play in our general conception of
culture.

The third ever-present problem, as
I see it, is the reconciliation between

ditions and problems, and that wpich

instruction aimed specifically at in-

aims rather to introduce them to fields
of thought ‘and knowledge through
material, on which. the mind of*man
has had time to work and which has
been weighed and winnowed by time
itself. To’ my own way of thinking,
however, the problem’is far more one
of the teacher than of the curriculum,
It is the able teacher with his revela-
tion of the significant, his introduc-
tion to the way in--which to think
about things who prepares his stu-
dents to deal with the problems of
the present ‘and of the future, and in
comparison with the quality of his
mind the subject matter with which
he makes his demonstrations is rela-
tively unimportant.

Beyond its ceaseless struggle with
these problems, every college or uni-
