) MOTION PREDICATED |
ON EXISTENCE OF VOID



“Materialism is a. gay companion
‘and a charming mistress to the mind,
though it is devious from logical
paths.” With this phrase Dr. Velt-
mann, lecturing in the Common Room
-on Thursday, October 12, illustrated

his attitude toward his subject, An-
‘cient and Modern Materialism: He
established himself as an “interested
isan,” because he _ believes



important
-place/in the evolution of thought.
-Philpsophy arises from materialism
and often returns to it in the course

of fdevelopment. Though a material-
istic system is not so suggestive as an
id€alistic one, it never fails to explain
‘a great many facts. Unfortunately,
however, materialism has become
oversimplified as well as reactionary

in its ideas; it cares little for con-
sistency and is incapable of self cri-
ticism.

There are two kinds of material-

ism; Hylodézoistic and Atomistic. The
first deals with matter as an extend-
ed and continuous substance endowed
with self movement and adaptation.

_ These are not intrinsically material
values, and this type of thought can
only be regarded as a compromise
between materialism and _ idealism.
The Atomistic materialism, which
does not describe matter as continu-
ous, but rather as something made up
of an infinite number particles, is
the true material philosophy.

The history of Atomistic Material-
ism is bound up with the Eleatic idea
that nothing can come out of nothing,
that beifg can neither arise from

“Non-being nor become non-being, but
is eternal. ,, Aside from this point, the
Atomists were reactionary to the
Eleatic School. Parmenides, in es-
tablishing his system, had broken off
all relations with the outward phe-
nomenal world, Therefore, Leucippus,

_ the founder of Atomism, sought to re-
late the world of plurality and ap-
pearance with the real world by re-
storing the ultimate reality of mani-

Speakers’ Committee
Changes Organization



Instead of the small speakers’ com-
mittee which made all the arrange-
ments for the lectures brought by the
Undergraduate Association last year,
a larger and more representative en-
tertainment committee has been organ-
ized to choose the lecturers for
the coming year. One girl from every

class in every hall has been elected to
the committee for the twofold purpose
of getting more ideas and a greater se-
lection and of securing better support
of and attendance at the college lec-
tures. At the Undergraduate mass
“meeting on Monday, October 15, the
undergraduates decided that the lec-
imurers are to be paid with the admis-
sion fees to enable the Undergraduate
ae iation to lessen its annual dues.
_ A list of the members of the com-
mittee follows so that anyone who
has any suggestions to make concern-

the choice of lecturers for the year
y speak to her class representative.
Park, Mrs. Chadwick-Collins,
ly Barnitz and Peggy Little are all
-officio members of the committee.

125 of the 1937 class; They come
from only 19 different States, com-

is-just one foreign student, from
Syria. .They seem to be a little near-

per cent. come from New York and

New England (considerably more

West, 14 per cent. (less than last
year’s 16 per cent.) ; from the South,
6 per cent. (more than usual); and
from the Far West, only .8 per cent.

of neanby girls seems a little strange
after the new liberal entrance require-

Most of the freshmen live in large

Bates House Changes
Name and Situation



Reorganization Finds Students

Running Camp

BEACH FACILITIES GOOD





Bates House last summer underwent,
a metamorphosis into the Bryn Mawr
Summer Camp. To signify its inde-
pendence from New York affiliations, |
the camp changed not only its name,
but its organization and its location.
The camp is now supported by the
Bryn Mawr League and the under-
graduates, and is run by the under-
graduates with the aid of a faculty
advisory committee. It was located
last summer and is to be located in
the future at Avalon, a small sea-

New Jersey, which possesses one ol
the best beaches along the Jersey
coast. Long Branch, where old Bates
House was situated for many years,
doubtless had its charm for the chil-
dren and for the undergraduates who
acted as their teachers. There was
an amusement pier offering such at-
tractions as marathon dances and
merry-go-rounds; there were beer gar-
dens and immense week-end crowds
from New York. It was, however,
too big a place to be ideal for a sum-
mer‘camp. The children had to cross
two main highways on their way to
the narrow and crowded beach and
had to be dresed and undressed in
bath houses at the beach. Last; but
not least, in the way of disadvantages,
a railroad ran directly past the house.

The children at Avalon were hous-
ed last summer in an attractive cot-
tage directly on the main beach and
recreation center. Negotiations are
under way to rent another house in
Avalon. The purpose of the camp is
to give the children sunshine, fresh
air, good food and plenty of sleep, and,
above all, to take them away from the
city environment. Twenty of them
came at a time in three groups for
two weeks.each. St. Martha’s House,
in the slums of Philadelphia, selects
the children. They range from four
to eight years in age and the majority
of them are Italian. It would be hard
to find on the whole more intelligent
or more attractive children than those

Miss Park Tells Means :
of Getting Information



Miss Park, in her chapel address on
Tuesday, October 9, said that the pat-
tern of college activities and regula-
tions can be both learned and explain-
ed. Through various channels of in-
formation, every student has _ the
chance to understand the organization
of Bryn Mawr, as it actually affects
her,

The information that can be gained
falls into two categories: there is the
direct information concerning rules,
requirements, the hours of classes, and
so on; and there is the more indirect
information which explains the causes
of these established customs. The lat-
ter type of information is very im-
portant because through it the under-
graduates. may learn that the organi-
zation of the college is not an arbi-
trary matter, but has been gained by
definite and far-reaching policies.

The practical’\way to learn about
these policies and also to settle misun-
derstandings is through the people
who are concerned with the adminis-
tration. The president’s office .is al-
ways at the disposal of the students.
Dean Manning and Miss Ward are
ready to discuss any academic diffi-
culties they may have. In addition
to this Miss Park is at home on Tues-
days from three until five, where any-
one may come who has problems that
require longer discussion.

The wardens of the halls are ex-

tremely helpful informants. All of
them have had college experience and
many of them have attended Bryn
Mawr either as undergraduates or as
graduate students.,As part of the ad-
ministration, they: are in constant
touch with the authorities,
One of the most valuable as well
as the most available channels of in-
formation is the College News. Miss
Park praised the conscientiousness of
the editors and the accuracy of their
material. They publish reliable facts
about both the past and the future of
the college.

There is also the College Council.
This organization, while it has no ex-
ecutive power, is an important clear-
ing house for the discussion of college
affairs. It began twelve years ago
and its membership includes the Pres-
ident, the Dean, the Director of Publi-
cations, the presidents of the Under-
graduate, the Student Government,
and the Athletic Associations, the
president of the League, the four
class presidents, the Editor of the Col-
lege News, and a representative each
from the wardens,. the faculty, the
Graduate Club, and the Non-resident
Club.._If_a student wishes to. submit
some matter for discussion, she has
only to speak to her class representa-
tive. Ss
Chapel itself can be regarded as an-
other channel of information. The ad-
dresses, usually by Miss Park or Mrs.
Manning, always concern college af-
fairs. The talks are often about plans
for the future, and in this way the
students are given the chance to learn
about the plans, and thus prepare
themselves for later decisions.

Miss Park concluded her talk by
saying that the habit of getting accur-
ate information and forming opin-
ions on it was an excellent one. An
accurate knowledge of facts will al-
ways serve as a good’ safeguard, since
we live in a world full of en

Lantern Ceremonies

Show Two Changes

Singing Sustained by Placing
Strong Voices Near Door
During Exit :





LANTERNS ARE UNIFORM



Lantern Night, one of Bryn Mawr’s
oldest and loveliest traditional cere-
monies, took place in the Library
Cloisters on Friday, October 19.. Fav-
Pored this year with clear skies and a
nearly full moon, the occasion had a
most effective natural setting. It was
also unmarred by the passage of the
perennial freight train which has
spoiled not a few previous Lantern
Nights. There was a large assem-
blage of admiring parents and inter-
ested friends who gathered at an early
hour on the Cloister Roof to watch
the Sophomores hand the Freshmen
their lanterns of dark blue, the class
color,

The Freshmen, arrayed for the first
time in their caps and gowns, filed si-
lently into the Cloisters and formed a
semi-circle around the pool in the cen-
ter. After what seemed an _ inter-
minable delay (as is also traditional)
the Sophomore Hymn, Pallas Athene,
was. heard first softly and then with
growing volume as the ranks were in-
creased. Slowly they moved out of
the Library and into the Cloisters in
two long lines, the lighted lanterns
swinging in time to their pace. The
success or failure of Lantern Night
often hinges on the ability: of the
Sophomores to set the correct tone.to
the ceremony by starting in unison.
This the Class of 1987 successfully ac-
complished. But no sooner had they
begun thus auspiciously than the left
hand column, forgetting their explicit
instructions, neglected to watch the
swinging Lanterns of the Seniors, who

sequently, fell half a syllable behind.
This alarming situation was ended
when, with great presence of mind
and remarkable unanimity of decision,
they all stopped and took up the song
at the right point. From then on they
sang together with real power and
feeling. This was especially true at
the end when, after having given the
Freshmen their lanterns, they vanish-
ed quietly to a corner of the Cloisters
and sang the last verse very softly,
but with remarkable understanding
and quality.

The Freshmen then broke into their
song, Sophias, starting off nicely if a

High Tribute Is Paid
to Dr. M. J. Wagoner
in Memorial Service



President Park, Dean Manning,
Dr. Bond ‘and Dr. Riesman
Are Speakers

SIMPLICITY, SYMPATHY
p ESPECIALLY PRAISED
The legendary founder of the pro-
fession of medicine was an Egyptian
whose name meant “He Who Cometh
in Peace,” and President Park gave
a name resembling this to Dr. Mar-
jorie Jeffries Wagoner, late physician
of Bryn Mawr College. At the serv-
ice held in her memory in Goodhart
Hall on Monday afternoon, President
Park’s account of Dr..Wagoner’s life,
and the tributes paid by Mrs. Man-
ning, Dr, Earl D. Bond, and Dr. David
Riesman to her character and profes-

sional achievement, all manifested her
right to the title, “Giver of Peace.”

President Park began the ceremony
by saying that it was impossible to
speak directly of the college’s great
loss in the death of Dr. Wagoner. Yet
to give even a brief history of. her:
life would be of help, for the facts are
eloquent, and those who knew her can
complete the outline from their knowl-
edge,

In 1896 Marjorie Wagoner was born

in Philadelphia, of sturdy Scotch-Irish
stock. She prepared for Bryn Mawr
at the Narberth High School and stud- -
ied here during the four years of the
War. After graduating with high
rank, she entered the Pennsylvania
Medical School, and in 1924 she com-
pleted her interneship. That same
year she married and also took upon
herself professional duties at Bryn
Mawr College under the supervision
of Dr. Thomas Branson.
Gradually she came to be completely
in charge as college physician, and it
was increasingly evident that she was
greatly widening her field. She saw
the students not as individual pa-
tients alone, but also as a community.
In trying to preserve the community
health, she bent her efforts toward
preventive measures. Employees came
under her care; students were peri-
odically examined; choice and care of
food were supervised by her; and the
Physical Education Department: work-
ed in conjunction with her.

In addition to her activities here, for
five years she was physician to the
Bryn Mawr Summer School for indus-

New Map of Bryn Mawr College Introduces

Glamorous Personalities and Gay Events



See Bryn Mawr First. The col-
lege has a new map, very decorative
and large enough to fill the biggest
blot on your wall. It is a thing of
beauty and a joy forever; the most un-
aesthetically minded would be able to
judge it good and thereby judge the
artistic values correctly, and in years
to come Bryn Mawrtyrs will undoubt-
edly tie it in faded blue ribbon and
encourage their grand and _ great-
granddaughters to come to Bryn
Mawr.

All of the celebrities and all of the
campus figures—some of them almost
mythical to us of the present genera-
tion of college—are on the map in
full array. The first president of the
College, James E. Rhoads; Miss M.
Carey Thomas, and Miss Park lend
impressiveness ‘to the top of the map;
while all of the famous people are to
be found wandering around the cam-
pus, all smaller than life, but none
the less twice aS natural. The Fac-
ulty are to be found engaged in vio-
lent debate along Faculty Row, all of
them delivering themselves of final
judgment upon the mysteries of the
metaphysical world, if we are to judge
from: their eloquence of gesture and
facial expression. Miss Appleby, who
first introduced field hockey in Amer-
ica, is standing on guard over the

Joe Graham is to be found pwalking

plating breaking into some-hall to spy
upon the midnight oil-burners and

Dr. Wagoner

In the eyes of the college, the loss of Dr. Marjorie Jefferies
Wagoner is a very real one. It ‘was her especial province to meet us
at our worst and to manage us in the face of our most strenuous
objections. Most,of the undergraduates are permanently. indifferent
to the danger of spreading colds or other malignant diseases among
their compatriots, and in the interests of work and pleasure, are intent
on avoiding the Infirmary until necessity forces them to go there. Like-
wise in the interests of work and pleasure, they wish to leave the
Infirmary long before it is advisable for them to do so. It was this
undergraduate problem that Dr. Wagoner was unusually expert in
handling.’ Her sound common sense, her method of appealing to our
common sense in cases of illness, her unfailing sympathy, and her
efforts to grant our wishes, no matter how petulant, made the under-
graduates respect, love, and stand in fitting awe of her.

The task of treating ailing undergraduates who often should have
come to her earlier than they came, was a difficult one. The fact that
no deaths nor serious illnesses occurred -while she officiated as the
college doctor is in itself a sufficient testimonial to her capable care
for our health. But it is furthermore true that her work at the col-
lege was highly praised last Spring by disinterested’ physicians. When
we add the memory of her patience with attention to our routine
run of minor bruises and colds, to her alert diagnosis and treatment
of our serious epidemics, we realize that we have lost a highly valuable
and capable member of the college and one who will be sincerely
missed.



The Mystery of the ia Room

One of our greatest college activities centers in the Reserve Room
of the Library. There is scarcely a person on campus who does not
indulge in the sport of trying to remove books clandestinely or in
setting up a detective business to recover the books that have vanished
into thin air. If there is one person in Bryn Mawr who-does not
spread abroad her difficulties over the Reserve Room privileges, we
disapprove of her as lacking in college spirit.

It is no wonder that we have so much trouble with the reserve
room, There is (1) the girl who does not plan her week-ends to fit
in with the 9:30 Saturday night to 8:30 Monday morning privilege,
(2) the studious spirit Who reads unwanted supplementary books writ-

- ten in foreign languages and thereby gets her privileges removed so
that the aforesaid incomprehensible books remain to moulder away on
the shelf, (3) the scholar who involves herself in very small classes of
a higher and deeper nature and must, nevertheless, read for two-hour
periods despite the lack of popular demand for the books, and (4)
‘the home lover or smoking room habituee who does not find the interior
decoration or the social excitement of ‘the library conducive to rapid
or satisfactory reading.

We believe that there must be safeguards to prevent the abstrac-
tion of books in demand and a system of signing out books so that they
may be readily located. We believe that the present system was
designed for that very purpose, and therefore we presume to suggest
that a few minor changes might easily remedy our present situation.

Week-end books might just as well be taken out Saturday morning
and kept until Sunday night: no one is going to start off on a week-end
late Saturday night, and many week-enders return Sunday night to

_ get some work done before another hard blue Monday dawns. In the
ease that a professor puts on reserve supplementary books in a foreign
language or in the event that a class is very small, we believe it would
be satisfactory to professor and student alike that the slip be marked
to indicate that the usual two-hour reading period might be extended.

Our final worry—and not the least-of them—we regard to be the
rule prohibiting the removal of books from the reading’ room during
the two-hours alloted as reading period. Librarians and students both
know that fewer borrowers adhere to this rule than to any‘other regu-

lation. We think that it matters little to the librarians where we read | s

‘books, so long as we bring them back, whole and on time; and we do

not think that there is any necessity for our comrades-at-arms’ being
able to track us down and snatch books from us during the hours for
which we have signed. We suggest that we be allowed to take the
books out of the library, or to any part of the library, with perhaps
the safety. measure that we sign where we. are going with the volumes in
question.

Such changes in the library regulations may require slightly more
work on the part of the librarians, but certainly not so mucl trouble
as the present system causes them. We assume that the librarians’
close cheek on our activities in-and out of the library:to preserve law
and order by removing our privileges in cases of lawlessness must be
fatiguing and disagreeable enough. And we are quite sure that a less
rigid system of rules would encourage more care and thoughtfulness
in the use of books. We know that we shall have the lawless and the
eareless with us ever—as now; but we have seen many reserve. books
disappear mysteriously from the library for several hours or vanish
for a Saturday week-end, and we have seen them reappear in ‘an even
more unaccountable manner, There is good reason to believe that
books would disappear much less mysteriously if students were allowed
to remove books from the library provided ie signed the Vormaes in
question to their particular hideout. :

In fact, the only disadvantage we see to a revision of the present
rules consists-in our loss of the all- absorbing pastime of trying to}.
spirit books off and on reserve and of complaining about the lack of



ders on a baseball team. Nothing to
get excited about.

E. Riches Are Stored

In New Book Room
Bryn Mawr Owns Rare Books
Printed and Illustrated

in Renaissance





BINDINGS ARE UNUSUAL



Locked away in the two closets in
the New Book ,Room are the treas-
ures of the Library, which the under-
graduates hardly ever see and never
stop to wonder about. It is rather
hard to get at them, since an official
of the Library has to bring them out

/ and watch over them all the time

| ble merchants. Deal with them.

that they are being handled, but they
are well worth it. If one cannot
think up a report for which it is
absolutely necessary to use the eigh-

_ teenth century Amsterdam Pruden-

tius, which belonged to Dr. Hermann
Sauppe, or some similar book, the
best way to see the books is to go
and ask Miss Terrien, whose parti-
cular pride and joy they are.

The Library has four fifteenth cen-
tury books, all probably in their orig-
inal bindings of oak boards covered
over by beautifully,. stamped leather.
The most impressive is the Aldine
1497 volume containing Theophras-
tus’ On Nature and Aristotle’s Prob-
lemata in the beautiful Greek type
designed by Aldus, and in clear, un-
faded ink. This book used to belong
to the Library of the Church College
of the Lateran, at St. Nicholas near
Passavium.

The Legenda Aurea was printed in
Nuremberg by George Stuchs, of
Sulezbach, in 1488. The binding is
fascinating: wood and stamped leath-

‘er, with two vellum pages of manu-

script bound in as fly leaves. It has
the remains of the clasps broken off
at the hinges.

Cicero’s Philippics is printed as a
column of text surrounded by quanti-
ties of commentary, beautifully spac-
ed. It was printed in 1488 in Vicenza
by Henrico de S. Ursio, and is bound
with the Verrines, printed in Venice
by Bartiolomeo de Zanis in 1495.

Durandus’ Rationale. Divinorum
‘Officiorum from the monastery of
San Francesco at Fiesole was printed
by Simon Bevilaqua in 1494, in Ven-
ice and Boccaccio’s Geneologicae de-
orum gentilium by Simone de Gabis
in Vicenza in 1487.

Jacobus Rubens printed Suetonius’
Lives of the Twelve Caesars sur-
rounded by Beroaldus’ commentary in
Venice in 1506. There are woodcuts
at the beginning and all through the
book, and woodcut initials. It has
sixteenth century marginal notes as
well as Dr. Sauppe’s. The binding is
broken and shows the way the pieces
of wood were pegged together.

The Aldine Luccan of 1502, in ital-
ic type, and the Aldine Lucretius of
1515, with the printer’s mark at the
beginning and the end, are examples
of pocket sized books from early
presses.

The Marsilius Ficinus edition of
Plato’s Opera Omnia, printed in Ly-
ons in 1557, by Antonius Vincentius
has a beautiful printer’s mark on
the title page.

The Library prides itself particu-
larly on three early English editions,
among which are three volumes of
Holinshead’s Chronicles. They are
folios, beautifully printed and spaced,

_with_engraved borders on most of the
_pages and many engraved illustra-

tions. :

The other two are a Chaucer print-
ed by Adam Islip in London in 1602
with a woodcut title-page and initials,
and an Islip Pliny of 1634.

Among the interesting books which
are delightful have in a library
that cannot afford the most expensive
ones, are a beautiful facsimile edition
of the Shakespeare 1623 folio, and a
facsimile in three lovely morocco vol-
umes of the first edition of Mon-
taigne. £

The prize of the modern collection
is a first edition of Henry Adams’
Mont St. Michel and Chartres. There
are also three volumes of Blake, and
a Milton with Blake illustrations
printed by the Nonesuch press.

Perhaps of only local importance,
but still of great historical interest
are three small pamphlets entitled
‘Humble Voyagers: verses issued by
the Reeling and Writhing Club of
Bryn Mawr College, 1919-1921.

News of the New York Theatres

We have already given fair warn-
ing to all and sundry that our rally-
ing cry for the year is to be the glory
of the New York theatre this season,
but little did we suspect at the time
we spoke that. such unusually ‘strong
support in deed and fact was to be
accorded us. This week witnesses the
opening of the play that is consid-
eared by many critics the finest writ-
ten in the last twenty years, Sean
O’Casey’s Within the Gates. Mr.
O’Casey is not among those who be-
lieve that realism put upon the stage
constitutes a play; on the contrary,
he argues that life itself is more real
and interesting than a realistic imi-
tation of it, for, in .his own words,
‘nothing can be more artificial than
the play that claims to be true to
life.” Attuned to the tradition of the
‘Elizabethans, he holds that the play
must be an imaginative commentary
on life itself, and not a portrayal of
the trivial events in the life of some
insignificant individual.

Within the Gates tries to combine
the song, dange and music of the Eliz-
abethan play ‘and the austere ritual of
the Greek drama with the life around
us. It is a symbolic comment on the
inability of organized religion, how-
ever well-meaning, to find the right
words to help modern life, and no mat-
ter how dull and heavy this may
sound, it is actually the most inter-
esting and beautiful piece of playwrit-
ing we have ever run across. The
characters are symbolic types, as is
shown by their names: The Dreamer,
The Old Woman, The Gardener, The
Down and Out, The Evangelists, The
Young Salvation Army Officer, The
Atheist, are a few of the people who
are shown strolling across the arena
of Hyde Park. There is no organized
plot in the usual acceptance of the
term, but asthe characters in their
multitudes coine upon the scene, sup-
ply their individual parts to the whole
and saunter away, the play resolves it-
self into a unified mosaic from which
not: one piece could be spared.

We believe that Within the Gates
is the beginning of the new play, the
first step away from triviality,into a
universal and worthwhile modern
drama. It utilizes every invention of
the modern stage to convey its feel-
ings of mood and rhythm. The cur-
tain never goes down on the stage,
but the passing of time is denoted by
such scenic devices as the falling of
leaves to indicate the coming /of the
Autumn. The line is rhythmically
poetic without any of the feeling of
being forced that has so often attend-
ed some of the modern attempts to
return to blank verse. Yet, despite
all this, the play is not the futile, artis-
tic protest of a man who is merely
trying to be different: it is alive and
vitally interesting, and gives even to
the reader the feeling that something
universally real and profound in the
tradition of great drama has at last
been written. In short, we urge that
no one who can possibly get. as far as
New York should let themselves miss
Within the Gates.

We also recommend a more minor
epic, which seems exteriorly to be
much on the same idea, called Lost
Horizons. From the program, the
alarming fact may be gathered that
the play takes place in some twenty
scenes, and is also populated by a
series of symbolic types, entitled A
Youth, A Banker, A Scrub Woman,
An Astrologer, and so on. However,
if this discouraging revelation is sur-
vived, the play itself proves to be ex-
tremely entertaining and a real re-
ward for sticking out the first cold
shock. In quite the reverse direction
of Merrily We Roll Along, Lost Hori-
zons sets out to reveal what would
have happened if the heroine, ably act-
ed by Jane Wyatt, had refrained from
killing herself in the first scene, An

innocent young man would have been
saved from electrocution for murder,



‘|and a number of other such major ca-

-”

| tastrophes would never have occurred,

had Miss Wyatt saved herself to exert
her predestined influence on the lives
of people who lay: far in her future.
Tt all sounds a bit dismal, but actually
is so ingenious and interesting that
we understand the audience departs
the premiseg firmly resolved to carry
on nobly with the intricate task of liv-
ing, in order to save unknown unfortu-
nates no matter what the cost to the
would-be suicide.

And yet again do we recommend—
this time a charming opus entitled
Divided By Three, which seems to
have completely taken the admiration
of everyone who has ever seen it. It
concerns the shocked disillusionment
of a youthful laddie who discovers
that his mother has for some years
past been indulging in a lover, but
nevertheless manages to be interesting
and far from painful. The acting
and appearance of Judith Anderson
lend a certain aura of the late’ ’90’s
to the play, and help it to achieve an
actual semblance of the true triangle
drama in the old and approved style.



College Council Debates
Radios, Smoking in Rooms



At the recent College Council meet-
ing the discussion centered about the
efficacy of Freshman Week as it now
stands, the possibility of allowing ra-
dios in college, the ever-present de-
mand for permission to smoke in stu-
dent rooms, and the arrangements
which must be made this year for Big
May Day. All of these points of dis-
cussion grew outiof changes already
made or changes that have been pro-
posed in the college. As the college
progresses and accepts new ideas, the
possibilities for discussion increase and
there is an increase in the material
for the Council.

The usual arrangements for Fresh-
man Week underwent two changes
this year: the time was lessened by
twenty-four hours and two more so-
cial events were added to the program
—a tea for all the parents on Friday
and teas in each hall upon the arrival
of the Freshmen on Thursday. These
two changes doubtless helped to fill
the time to greater advantage than
was the case in previous years: the
Freshmen. seemed to feel that the time
had been adequately filled with a pro-
portionate amount of duty and pleas-
ure. Therefore no radical changes will
be made in next year’s plans, except
that the buffet luncheon on Thursday
which parents were invited to attend,
will be held either in Pembroke din-
ing room or in the Deanery, so that
the Freshmen and their parents may
be together. In regard to parties for the
Freshmen after Freshman Week Miss
Ward suggested. that, in view of the
pressure of woyk in the early fall upon
the entering class, the best time for
parties would be over week-ends rath-
er than in the middle of the week.

The use of radios in
rooms became once more a subject for
discussion upon the questioning and
suggestions of the Freshmen who had
brought radios with them. Miss Howe
said it would be possible to have radios
without earphones, if their use could
be controlled satisfactorily so as not
to annoy students in adjoining rooms.
The arrangement is to be given a
trial, with the stipulation that the
radios be turned off at 10.30 P. M.

The college does not permit smok-
ing in student rooms because the fire
insurance rates have been established
with the understanding that there is
no smoking in student rooms, and be-
cause it beliévés”that smoking in
rooms would result in an increase of
the small fires-such have taken place
in the smoking rooms of all halls with
an increase in damages to college
property and furnishings.

The college realizes that the pres-
ent smoking rooms are far from satis-
factory or adequate, and expects that
when a new residence hall is built, it
will be constructed so that~it willbe
possible to permit smoking in student
rooms. Space in the present halls, now
necessary for student rooms, could
then be taken for additional smoking
rooms. e

Although actual preparations for
Big May Day are not scheduled until
next year, the campus will vote on it
at the end of this year. No decision
has yet been made concerning the ap-
portionment of the college calendar
next year, but probably an extra week
of classes will have to be added at
the beginning of the year, and the col-
lege will vote for Big May Day with
this provision.

High Tribute Is Paid
to Dr. M. J. Wagoner



Continued from Page One

trial workers. One day each week for
two years she worked at the Gyneco-
logical Clinic of the Women’s Col-
lege Hospital. She investigated the
field of Psychiatry with Dr. Earl D.
Bond in Philadelphia and Dr. Austin
Riggs in Stockbridge. She did hap-
pily everything that she could in or-
der to increase her capability. Often
she laughingly repeated a maxim
President Park had told her: “The
way to be happy in life is to find what
you want to do and then find someone
to pay you for doing it.”

Dean Manning’s speech, which fol-
lowed President Park’s, asserted that
“It would be difficult for anyone con-
nected with the administration of
Bryn Mawr College for the last twen-
ty years to think of Marjorie Jeffries
Wagoner except against the back-
ground of Bryn Mawy.”

Of course, Dr. Wagoner had far
more diversified relations, but she was
indispensable here as a part of the
community.

When Mrs. Manning knew her as a
Senior here in 1917, she was already
determined on her career; and when,
seven years later, she became physi-
cian for the college, she had lost none
of her enthusiasm. It was this en-
thusiasm, this- personal feeling which
she brought to her work, that led to
her unique success. She was not sen-
timental by any means, but clear-head-
ed, rational, and straightforward. She
could understand people and make
them feel she had a special interest in
them. Not only the physical but the
mental disturbances of students were
important to her, while her charm and
sympathy enabled her to fathom the
causes of mental ills. Her aim and
her accomplishment were to give to
the Bryn Mawr girls a well-balanced,
sane existence of bodily and mental
health.

Medical developments outside of
our small circle never escaped Dr.
Wagoner’s notice, and she kept in con-
stant touch with Philadelphia doctors
and hospitals. When emergencies
arosé, she was capable of dealing with
them in the Infirmary or of arranging
for consultations and outside. assist-
ance with amazing speed. Because of
her boundless interest and activity, the
whole college demanded more of her
than of an ordinary practitioner, and
she gave more. In the mentz] hygiene
lof students she was a pioneer. Mrs.
|Manning said of her in final praise,
\“She had a rare gift of human sym-
pathy which never interfered with the
professional detachment with which
she viewed human problems. She had
‘the simplicity and straightforwardness
of mind and method which are the best
jevarrwes of approach to the young. And
‘she had to an unmeasured degree the
|unselfishness and devotion to her task
which makes pioneering possible.”

_ Dr. David Riesman, Professor
‘Emeritus of Clinical Medicine at the
|University of Pennsylvania Medical
‘School and Professor of Medical His-
‘tory at the Graduate School of Arts
‘and Sciences, was Dr. Wagoner’s
‘friend and teacher during her final
training and interneship. He describ-
ed her as an outstanding woman who
chose the hardest of all careers. Men
have had experience as doctors since
the far-off time of Imhotep, “He Who
Cometh in Peace,” who established
the profession of medicine. To women
the field has been open for only eighty
years, and, although there have been





| many fine physicians among women

since then, they have not been able to

compete with the men. So Dr. Wag-.
oner chose an_ uphill road, yet she

‘made much progress.

| When she was working under Dr.

_Riesman and holding the most honor-

/ary post among the internes, that of

‘Physician to the Nurses’ Infirmary,

‘she displayed qualities of generosity,

‘intelligence, and sympathy not usual-

ly found in one person. Her life was -
| full then, and fuller still when she be-

came physician at Bryn Mawr College

‘and also a wife and a mother. Her

home was as charming as if she had

Research Associate-of the Foreign’ devoted all her time to it, and her pro-

‘fessional work was not less worthy
‘because of the attention she gave to
her home. é

The reports which she made annual-
ly about the college health statistics,
and which Dr. Riesman looked over
after her death, were patterns of ac--
curacy. Her report of the scarlet
fever epidemic showed that she had
resorted to every scientific preventive
and remedy, and conducted her exam-
inations competently. The resource-
‘fulness and dependability which she
|displayed in such crises were not
abated in her everyday work with
‘common colds or sprained ankles.
Among college health associations she
was ‘a well-known and respected. fig-
ure. To the college itself she was “a
tower of strength.”

She was well aware of the fatal na-
;ture of her illness, and she bore it
more than stoically. For she did not
merely refrain from complaint, but
{went on living and serving others as
cheerfully’.as ever. Many have met’
death bravely, but none more. bravely
than she. Finally, Dr. Riesman para-
phrased the words of George Bernard
Shaw to Ellen Terry: “You can lose
a woman like that by your own death,
but not by hers.”

A fellow-worker of Dr. Wagoner’s
jin Psychiatry, Dr. Earl D. Bond, then
briefly told his own admiration of her.
“She had,” he said, “what so many
try to get and fail—real integrity, a
unity nothing short of heroic.” Only
'a few days before her death he talk-
ed with her of other people’s troubles.
She had lost none of her vital interest
in humanity, and she never referred
to her own sorrow. *

At the end of the service, President
Park read a resolution passed by the
Bryn Mawr Faculty to indicate their
appreciation of Dr. Wagoner’s. serv-
ices and devotion to the highest ideals
of her profession. “Perhaps,” said
Miss Park, adding a few words of her
own, “we could say of her that as a
person she had a kind of healing qual-
ity into which entered strength and
intelligence. Such a physician is more
than an instrument of science—she is
a giver of peace to troubled human--
life.”

~ Varsity Teams Score
___Three. Wins, One Tie

First Varsity Downs Phila. C. C.






_ THE COLLEGE NEWS







By 6-2; Second Team Wins
Twice, 6-1, 4-0



‘WEST JERSEY GAME, 4-4



On Saturday morning, October 13,
the Varsity team continued, its new
lease on life by defeating the Phila-

" delphia Country Club, 6-2.

In the first half, Varsity played a
fast, hard-hitting game, and finding
that the Country Club defense was
ragged under a fast attack, scored
four goals. The inner passes were
well directed, and clean shots and co-
operation with the wings improved
noticeably after the first few minutes
of play.

The defense also played a steady
game in the first. half. The. Country
Club contingent found few opportun-
ities to crowd Smith who was playing
her old position at goal.

Both the forwards and the backs
let down in the second half, with the
result that Philadelphia, taking ad-
vantage of Varsity’s moment of re-
laxation, scored two goals. Bryn
Mawr then bucked up the defense
again and the opponents were unable
to break through for more tallies.

Playing under more favorable con-
ditions than last week, the team as
a whole seemed to live up to our
hopeful if feeble expectations. Since
it is rapidly losing its sluggishness,
Varsity should come through with
flying colors, after a little more prac-
tice in handling the stick and in co-
operation between the forwards and
the backs.

The line-up was as follows:

The second Varsitydefeated the
Philadelphia Cricket Club Blacks by
the score of 4-0 on Monday after-
noon, October 15. The second’ team
line-up is as yet unsettled and
the team which took the field showed
the effect of lack of play together as
a unit. The forward line displayed
only brief and occasional signs of
last week’s drive and scoring power.
There was a noticeable lack of con-
trol of the ball, particularly when it
was inside the circle. This was evi-
denced by the’ number of attempted
goal shots which rolled over the back-
line. The hitting as a whole was
clean and neat, but we noticed num-
erous beautiful through passes from
both the wings and the defense which
went astray because they were not
picked up and controlled properly.
The backfield played nicely on the de-
fensive, but hung back a little too
far to be of much assistance in back-
ing up the attack. They showed an
alarming tendency to crowd in the
circle when on the defense, and thus
impaired Leighton’s viéw from the
goal cage. At the present point
Bryn Mawr is tied for first place in
the Second Team League, and if we
continue to improve might well
emerge at the top of the pile,

had it only maintained the excellent
pace of the first half.. But, unfortu-

the team showed an alarming falling
off in power and co-ordination in the
second period. Not only did the for-
wards, who have at times exhibited
such teamwork and unity as we have
not witnessed in a Bryn Mawr line
in recent years, lose their drive and
pep, but, worst of all, the backfield,
which should have been ready to tak
up the burden of defense when the
forwards began to fail, collapsed also
and three goals were put through in
the short space of abput ten minutes.
Realizing the emergency at hand, the
team snapped out of their lethargy
and valiantly attacked the West Jer-

On Monday afternoon, the second
Varsity gained first place in the Sec-
ond Team League by defeating its
rivals for the lead, the Philadelphia
Country Club second team, 6-1. The
victory came as a surprise, since the
visiting team was supposed to have
one of the strongest teams in the’
league. Its defense, however, center-
ed almost entirely around the splen-
did work of Rumpp at center half, and
though a steady barrier was main-
tained in the first half, Bryn Mawr
broke through in the second to score
three goals.

Although the Bryn Mawr defense
and forward line did not co-operate so |
well as they might, the play itself was
fast, if a bit aimless at times, and
the stickwork remarkably more pro-
fessional than that of the first team.
The defense was a bit slow, but for-
tunately.did not have to face a really
concentrated attack at any point in
the game. Bakewell and Hasse, two
Freshmen, at the wing positions,
showed up very well, while Leighton
and Pitroff helped to steady the back-
field considerably.

Even the Second team should have
some undergraduate support in its
games, especially in its run for the
League title, so let us turn out for a
few Monday afternoon games.

Materialism Is Topic
of Veltmann Lecture



Continued from Page One

fold being. He rehabilitated the idea
of atoms moving in space.

The great principle of Atomism is
the existence of an infinite plurality

‘of uncreated, independent, and im-

perishable particles called metaphysi-
cal germs or atoms. These atoms,
endowed with eternal motion, move
in ‘an infinite and empty void’ which
the Atomists call non-being. The ex-
istence of these particles moving in
empty space is the only reality.
Everything else is an illusion aris-
ing from the changing geometrical
patterns of the atoms. All change
is due to an antecedent condition of
the atoms. For example, the logical
antithesis of condensation (the draw-
ing together of atoms) is a previous
condition of separation.

Atoms have five attributes or un-
changeable properties: a definite geo-
metric figure, extensive magnitude,
internal homogeneity, and weight.
Under the fifth attribute, they are
described as imperceptible, indivisible,
and indestructible. Being geometric
figures, they are divisible geometric-
ally, but not physically. They have
no internal capacity to divide. Their
only intrinsic values are shape, size,
and weight, while their extrinsic val-
ues are position, caigt sehen and
speed,

The Atomists in tryimg to prove
their principles had to meet the prob-
lem of dealing. with imperceptible
matter. ‘Their only method was to
look at the’ visible and by inference
discover the nature of the invisible.
They soon decided that the existence
of an infinite number of atoms must
be postulated to explain the rudi-

based this conviction on such phe-
nomena as the force of wind against
the body, the dampening of garments,
and the imperceptible growth. and
‘putrefaction of plants and animals.
They were also influenced by their
belief that sensory impressions were
only made possible by material ema-
nations from objects. All these ob-
servations, they thought, pointed to-
ward a perpetual coming and going
of invisible particles.

The Materialists proved the indes-
tructibility and _ indivisibility of

come out of nothing, and the com-

atom, these philosophers ‘pointed out
that if there were no limits to divi-
sion, the world would. be &nnihilated

more easily broken up than put to-
gether.

The existence of a void was proved
by necessity ‘because empty space is
indispensable to motion. In a full-
ness of being or continuum, the pos-
‘sibility of motion is excluded. The
Atomists depended entirely on space
and motion to explain such simple
qualities as soft and hard. Atoms,
not possessing these qualities, could
only produce them by their various
combinations in empty space,

To prove the infinite ‘piurality of
atoms, the Atomists first proved the
infinity of space. ‘They stated that
space could only be bounded by more
space and therefore was unbounded
and infinite.’ They also added that if
space were shut in on all sides as in
a sphere, falling matter would ac-
cumulate at the bottom. Having
completed these two rather fallacious
proofs, the Atomists went on to say
that matter as well as space must be
infinite because any finite quantity is
a vanishing magnitude in an infinite
void. This last proof is only valid
on two conditions: one, that atoms
move at random, and two, that no
inherent force holds them together.

The important criticism which un-
dermined Atgmism was directed at the
impenetrability of the atom. To as-
sure its absolute solidity upsets the
well established laws of elastic im-
pact. We know that resiliant bodies
exist, and that they must have elas-
ticity. Because elasticity implies a
capacity for internal differentiation,
the atom cannot have this quality.
Thus in the light of modern science,.
a plurality of ‘impenetrable atoms
cannot be the ultimate reality of ma-
terial bodies.

The solidity and invisibility of the
atom have also been disproved. The
ideal of absolute physical solidity
transgresses the possibility of human
experience. It is only a relative con-
cept with an infinite: number of de-
grees. It cannot be absolutized any
more than number or the quality of
brightness. Finally, atoms cannot be
invisible and still be geometric fig-
ures. It is impossible for the percep-
tion to grasp a purely geometric fig-
ure because the awareness of geome-
tric qualities and the awareness of
sensory qualities cannot be separated.



Under our present form of educa-
tion I am led to the conclusion that,
as individuals, Americans are great,
but collectively we are a failure.

Lantern Ceremonies __ :
Undergo Two Changes
Continued from Page One
little timorously. The singing was
quite flat at first, doubtless because of
the strain and excitement.’ Soon the
tone softened and lost much of its
earlier harshness, This class also a
ed to follow the beat measured out’ by :
the Junior lantern swingers, but man- —
aged to keep together in spite of this, |
causing a slowing down of tempo, -
There were a number of innovations —
tried this year in the management and
plan ofthe ceremony. First of all,
we were spared the agonizing weaken-
ing and feeble dying away of this
beautiful song, which always used to
come as the last few tried vainly to
fill the Cloisters with song as they
hastened out. A new and what prom-
ises to be a revolutionary system was
inaugurated this year, which: seemed -
to eliminate this source of trouble. The
ten strongest singers in each line
dropped out of the column as it reach-
ed the door and stood singing together
until the rest had gone out. They
then completed the verse they were
singing and followed their classmates.
The contrast between this method and
the old way can only be appreciated
by one who has seen both in action, —
and almost everyone would agree, in
consequence, that Friday night’s per-
formance was one of the best in re-
cent years.

The second change was probably
not noticed by the spectators, but is of
considerable interest to the students. |
It has to do with the new policy in
regard to the design on the lanterns. |
Heretofore, each class has received a
lantern with the class numerals as the
basic design. For a number of years
there has been considerable criticism
of this system because of the expense
involved in the purchase of the lan- |
terns. Beginning this year the lan- |
terns are to be of standard design, but
of four different colors for the re-
spective classes. These lanterns are |
to be passed from class to class.

Among the rest of the valuable books

a Tipyn O’Bob with the last will and'
testament of one Maxine Wragley,
whom we discovered last year to have
been a non-existent Bryn Mawrtyr.
The original manuscript concerning
this will, the only document that sur-
vives to prove anything about Max-
ine’s existence follows:

“Maxine Wragley, one an aner of
our little band, is like to be taken from
us. Last Friday afternoon she was
conducted in a half-fainting condition
to the Bryn Mawr Hospital. The
stress of mid-years has been too much
for her. It is thought that she can-
not recover. A miracle alone can
save her. After all the happy, merry
years she has spent in this centre of
learning, there will be many to mourn
her loss. Both faculty and .students
will, for the first time in the history
6f our college, be united by one com-
mon bond of sympathy. The inter-
ment will be private, taking place in
the Rarington Family Cemetery. Miss
Wragley has already made her will,

which, as she has requested, is print-|,

ed below. ‘All those interested to
peruse it. will see that it is highly ex-
pressive of her generous nature and
of the love she bears Bryn Mawr Col-
lege:

“My dear friends, I do not want to
go. I feel that I might yet be useful
&mong you. I hope I may be spared,
but in case I am not, in token of love
for one and all, I compose this will. A
man, you know, has his country, a
woman her college. Therefore, I, Max-
ine Wragley, being of sound mind and
in full possession of all my faculties,
do hereby bequeath on this, the fifth
day of February, Anno Domini 1904,
almost all that I own in some manner
to this, our glorious Alma Mater. One
possession alone I reserve for no dear-
er, yet for a nearer, relation,—my bills
I leave to my father. Here, however,

Twofold Policy Seen





Experience in Sociological and
Religious Activity is
. Acquired

ALL WORK



VOLUNTARY



; Although the college may be una-
ware of the fact, every undergradu-
ate is a member of the Bryn Mawr
League. This by no means compels
each girl to partake in League activi-
ties. The work done is purely volun-
tary. In the past, however, the num-
ber of workers has been dwindling to
such an extent that only about one-
third of the college has participated.
The League feels that this situation
has come about mainly because of the
undergraduates’ ignorance of the pur-
pose, policy and scope of the League.
Therefore the board would like to out-
line. briefly the activities entailed.

The League is.a variegated unit
with a dual policy. The Sunday
services through the year are run by
a sub-committee of the League and
are the channel for religious expres-
sion, They are informal and non-com-
pulsory. The discussion which gen-
erally follows the service is a chance
a for those interested to discuss any
ethical, metaphysical, or philosophical
problem which may be bothering them.
“a The other purpose of the League is
to provide what might be called an ex-
tra-curricular course in Sociology.
q Here the student has the opportunity
ag to avail herself of social service work,
to attend lectures on social problems,
2 to go on field trips, and to meet indus-
4 trial workers. Heretofore, the empha-
; sis has been somewhat on the work
F: done; this year we want to stress the
5 importance of the personal experience

one acquires from any kind of social
service work. After all, the actual
work done is mild compared to that
done by organized charities ;. therefore
it seems more sensible to work for the
personal benefit gained, than from a
feeling that one should Help Human-
ity. At this time particularly of so-
cial and political changes throughout
the world, the glimpse which the work-
er catches of social problems is very
valuable.
The activities of the League are the
following:
(1) Bryn Mawr Summer Camp.
The camp at Avalon for slum chil-
IS dren is, as everyone knows, entirely
a supported and run by Bryn Mawr stu-
dents. During the winter money is
raised to run the camp, and during
June students go as volunteer helpers.

(2) Haverford Community Centre.
Here a student is sent to teach
Americanization and elements of citi-
iM zenship to adults and children in the
village.
(3) Bryn Mawr Community Centre.
Here a student is sent to teach
:. Americanization and elements of citi-
ad zenship to adults and children in the
village.
4 (4) Blind School.

Two or three students are sent every
night to the Blind School at Over-
brook, where they read aloud to the
boys and girls there. The blind stu-
dents could not get through the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania, were it not
for the volunteers from Bryn Mawr,
as the subjects are technical.

(5) Maids’ Tutoring.

The College maids who are inter-
ested are tutored in all subjects by the
students.
ia (6) Summer School.
re During the winter money is raised
% for Bryn Mawr Summer School, by

campaigning and by benefit entertain-

ments, etc.
(7) Industrial Group Suppers.
The Summer School committee man-
ages these suppers, which are held

here or in town. They provide a

chance for students to meet the indus-

trial workers informally, to exchange
ideas, and this presumably is the stu-
dents’ best way of understanding the
great social problems of which we, un-
fortunately, are too unaware,
From the above it can be seen that
valuable experience can be had for the
asking, in child psychology, in per-
“,» gonal self-assurance, and especially in
contact with social problems such as
are discussed at: industrial suppers.

‘The importance of such personal ex-

perience cannot be over-emphasized.

Interest. cards will be placed on the

doors soon. Freshman may do League

work after Midyears, but not before.

the many new plans for entering Bryn

The ways and means of entering
Bryn ac have been increased in
many ‘ways, so that freshmen this
year entered on eight different plans.
Only 23 came in on the old Plan A
(College Entrance Board examina-

22 on Plan C’ (four examinations tak-
en in groups of two) 3 on Plan D

college); 3 on Regent’s Plan; 3 on
the Pennsylvania Study Plan; 2 on

Many schools do not rank their stu-

Bryn Mawr has a large number of
first scholars, and the first senior en-
tered here this fall from each of the
following schools who do give such
ranking: New Utrecht High School,

THEATRE REVIEW

L’Aiglon, presented this week at
the Forrest by Eva la Gallienne, is a
production: excellent in every way. The
acting ‘is consistently fine and in many
scenes .is surpassingly good. The
greater part of the dialogue is in
poetry which contains a moving beau-
tySeThe costuming and sets are, for
the most part, unusually lovely.

Eva Le Gallienne, as L’Aiglon, cre-
ates an unforgettable characterization
of Napoleon’s son, who is forever
fighting the Hapsburg in himself and
believing that he is as capable of
swaying mobs and reigning as his
father was. By scheming and plot-
ting, the young Duke of Reichstadt
learns the history of his father’s cam-
paigns. The scene in which he re-
peats all he has learned in this way
is highly dramatic. Miss Le Galli-
enne’s ability to reach and /sustain a
high emotional and dramatic pitch,
without ever crossing th@ fine line be-
tween drama and melodrama, is no-
where better exemplified than in the
soliloquy on the Plain of Wagram

‘ cially noteworthy.

ba]

Ethel Barrymore is eminently suit-

ed to the part of Marie-Louise, the

Duchess of Parma’s vagueness, ten-
derness, and misunderstanding of her
son are quite well portrayed. Miss
Barrymore makes the most of a rather
small part. The acting of the rest
of the cast is competent, and that of
Paul Leyssac as Metternich is espe-
His address to Na-
poleon’s hat is powerful: one would
almost think it natural if Napoleon
walked out of L’Aiglon’s bedroom.

The settings.are all in keeping with
the mood of the play. The Duke’s
study and the park at Shoenbrun are
good, and the Plain of Wagram, with
its weird half-light and monotonously
grey effect, produces a striking back-
ground for the dramatic action that
takes place there. ans,

Miss Dane’s adaptation is in the
tradition of her usual competent work.
The poetry has high literary merit,
yet it does not overbalance or detract
from the action. The dialogue builds

worthy of notice for their intense
dramatic value and for the beauty of
the language.

The whole play is eminently satisfy-
ing. .The sustained emotional quality
of the action, the beauty of the scen-
ery, costuming and dialogue, and the
effectiveness of the music combine to
form one of the most admirable ex-
amples of theatrical art that we have
ever seen,

He says:

“I’ve followed the recent scientific in-

vestigations which confirm Camel’s ‘energizing
effect.’ But I already knew from my own per-
sonal experience that Camels lift up my energy
and enable me to tackle the next assignment with
renewed vigor. It has been definitely established,
too, that Camels are a milder cigarette.”

| Voice of Bryn Mawr














To the Editor of the College News:

The radio in the Common Room is
an object of pity. When the New
York Philharmonic Orchestra gives
one of its most beautiful concerts on
a Sunday afternoon and we are left
here in College, how can we appreci-
ate the full merit of its splendor?
Mingled with the strains of Beetho-
ven, Schubert, etc., are the raucous
ing on and the



electricity going off
static in its most mal
_only is the melody

there for a purp only, not

’ for use.. Nothing can be gained by
turning the plug. The sound is still
too faint to be heard in all its full-
ness.

We respectfully submit a suggestion
that either some repair work be done
or a battery-system installed. The
Bryn Mawr College Power Plant is
not a justified cause for missing the
events of the outside world. Not every-
one can have a radio in her room, and
the required use of earphones limits
the number of listeners; therefore,
there should be at least one adequate
‘community instrument in the College.

Why not have it in the Common
Room? ai

have been so near and yet so far from

possibility that Miss Cornell, liké an-

to which: she may turn to rest her
eyes.” Her eyes were rested, conse-
quently, by well-selected bits of poetry
and pros, all in a lightsome vein. We
cite one stanza of “‘A Biological Love
Song” as a good example:

“All the cilia of my trachea
Move at thought of thee,
And every pancreatic cell
Secretes assiduously.”

The column, Side Talks with Fresh-
men, by Truth Askmore, purports to
answer “any, questions that may trou-
ble my dear girls in their first year
away from‘ maternal influences.” The
questions asked were most varied, as,
for example: Popular Freshman —
“Is it proper to ask a man to leave at
ten o’cloek or wait till the lights go
out?” Conscientious Captain — “In
| case of fire, may I send my aide,
without a chaperon, to call the men?”
Senior—‘In how short a time can one
take an hour and a quarter walk?” In-
sulted Gradtate—“How can I help be-
ing taken for a Freshman?”

The village must have been a beau-
tifully pastoral spot in those days. W.
