tistics for the Freshman class was the
occasion for a little quiet rejoicing on
the part of President Park since the
class of 1934 represents a further ad-
vance in the realization ‘of two of her
most cherished aims. Over one-fourth
of the class entered with a credit aver-
age, and the proportion of students
entering from public schools is rising,
in compariso to the proportions
found in holes of.’29,-’30;’31- and
"32. President Park devoted the chapel
periods of. Tuesday, October 14, and
Thursday, October 23, to a detailed
discussion of the subject.

The Freshman class’ represents
nineteen States, with one member
from England, but sixty-six of these

and its boundary States, New York;
New Jersey and Maryland. That is,

Middle. West. nine, the South-five, the
Pacific Coast two, and England one.

Liberal Club Announces
Industrial Discussions



The first meeting of the Liberal Club
was held October 22, and there are now
over fifty members... The Executive Com-
mittee’this year is as follows:

President, Annamae Grant;
Robinson, Virginia Butterworth.

Miss Grant spoke about the purpose of
the club and the plans for the year. The
club is for the discussion of political and
social problems and _ international rela-
tions. There will be several speakers,
« probably one a month, and regular meet-
ings of the group to discuss the speeches
and other questions in which they are in-
‘terested. The program for the first three
meetings will be given over to a discus-
sion of communism, the “new capital-
ism,” and socialism as possible remedies
for our industrial difficulties. Mr. Scott
Nearing, on Friday, October 31, at 8:15]
in the Commons Room, will give the first
ef these lectures, Communism in America.

The Liberal Club is affiliated with the
League for Industrial Democracy and the
Foreign Policy Association. The club
should be of the greatest importance to
students because it is the only. campus
organization wherein they can find con-
tact with the important social -changes
with which they will later be, faced.
— is a growing consciousness in

Young America that all is not right. with.
the world; and that students must be
brought together to investigate the pres-
ent evils and find some sort of remedy,

Membership in the Liberal Club is open
‘to all those who are interested.

The Liberai Club of Swarthmore Col-
lege is sponsoring a conference on the
bituminous coal industry Friday evening
and Saturday, November seventh and
eighth. The speakers are the foremost
American authorities: Norman ‘Thomas,

Teachers at Bates House

Of-course-each~ teacher has several
hours a day when she is not expected
to be with the children, and at night
there are always the movies and the
amusement pier on the boardwalk after
stories have been told and each room,
of children. has promised that they will
not make a sound.

The whole two weeks that you are

succession of completely surprising

_An uncle on the police force or in the

great admiration. All this is perfectly
natural to them, but they cannot un-

remarked very scornfully one day, “I

It isn’t nice.’

- #The origin of all this was the gift
some years, ago of a house at Long
'Bratich by. Mrs. H. Roswell Bates to
-be used during the summer by Bryn
Mawr as a vacation home for tenement
children in memory of her husband.
The. financial end of it is cared for
fairly adequately by our share of the
League pledges and by the proceeds
from sandwiches. The real problem
in connection with "Bates is one with
which we were confrorited more than
usual this last summer. It is the lack
of “teachers” (girls from College who
go for two weeks or more to take care
of the children). It seems a pity that
more people do not realize how ex-
tremely interesting the whole thing is,
and thus never have the unique ex-
perience to be found at Bates. Who

POE AIDS. INNOVATION S



(Specially contributed by L. Mandell and
E, Fredrick.)

M. Hazard began his Tourth lecture on-

“La Poesie Francaise entre 1815. et 1914”

with an account. of the life of Baudelaire,
which, he said, was inseparable from his
work, - Born in 1821 at Paris ofa father
too old to give him any companionship,
and of a‘mother who remarried soon after
her husband's death, Baudelaire exper- |
ienced a most unhappy childhood. As a
child he knew the violent emotion of
hatred, for he was in open revolt against
his stepfather. He was-€xpelled in 1839
from the-lycee Louis-le Grand, despite his
brilliance as a student, and his stepfather,
to prevent his frequenting the quartier
latin, sent him off to the Indfes. Before
reaching his destination, he decided to re-
turn to-Paris, where, after having dissi-
pated a small fortune, he was forced to
earn his living as a hack-writer. From
1848-1857 he experienced some strange ad-
ventures. At the end of this period he
began his chef-d’oeuvre, Les Fleurs du
Mal, the publication of which brought
upon his head a fine and a condemnation.
He-died-in-1867 after an attack of paraly-
sis.

The second part of M. Hazard’s lecture
was concerned with a discussion of-Bau-
delaire’s psychological development: which’
was complex and contradictory. He was
passionately fond of the arts, especially
music, which heretofore had not received
much attention in French literature. In
his work there was a strange psychology
at the same time artificial, ridiculous, and
frightful. The idea of death became with
him_a_ veritable obsession. In his desire

Major Subject Discussed

‘in Chapel by Mrs. Manning

On Tuesday, October. 28, Mrs. Man-
ning spoke in Chapel concerning the
change in emphasis in the curriculum in
the past ten or fifteen years... The -origi-
nal system. of a major group of two
subjects based on the Johns Hopkins
plan, laid but moderate emphasis on a
given field. The first change came’ six
years ago when ‘students were required
to take a single major, with’ allied work
grouped arourid the subject chosen. At
present, under the new curriculum, three
yerrs of work is required inthe major
instead of two. During the third year,
the student advances from the examina-
tion system with ledrning of the
course to the individual collection and
arrangement of data for reports. Honors
work goes still further in this line. A
merit average in the major is also. re-
quired by recent changes.

The\emphasis on the major, as shown
by the three years of required work, aims
at ‘inculcation of, or acquaintance with,
advanced scholastic methods, not at spe-
cialization of ‘the individual student. Her
third year gives the student a chance to
work with previously collected material,
moulding it in het own way. . She‘ ob-
tains a knowledge \and experience of
methods,-a—sense—of-their-dreariness and
inadequacies perhaps,’ which is invaluable
if she desires or. does not desire, to go

rote

on.

The individual is free to change her
major as often as she wishes, provided
that’ she ecan-inelude in her schedule three
years’ application to the subject. she
finally chooses. The faculty’make allow-
ances for indecision and changes. The
three years of work should be considered,
not as a training in one’s life work, but
as an introduction :to scholastic method
and as affording an inside view of a
more intimate familiarity with the work
being done in one field of knowledge.

degree. of B.Sc. (Econ.) therein 1930.
She was interested in athletics as well
as economics during her undergraduate
as

certain amount of practical research,
outside of Bryn-Mawr,-on the Depart-
ment of Public Works in Philadelphia.~
Miss” Fridel~Boehme;-from-Dresden;-
Germarly, attended the Hohere Maed-
chenschule in Dresden from 1920 until
1926 when she received the Reifezeug-
nis. From April to October of 1926,
she did practical work in the export
and. accounting department of the
Metal Art Manutacturing Company.
During the rest of 1926 and part of
1927, Miss Boehme spenttwo se-
mesters in the department of economi-
cal sciences at the Technische Hoch-
schule fiir’ Welt-handel at-- Vienna.
From 1928 until 1930, she spent five
semesters at the University of Cologne
in the Social Economics department
in February, 1930, she received
the Diplom-Kaufmann from the Uni-
versity of Cologne. Unlike Miss
Boehme, Miss Diederika Liesveld, of
Holland,e studied exclusively at one
place, the University of Amsterdam,
and has her degree of Doctor of Liter-
ature from there. She has studied:
Philology extensively but plans to de-
vote her time at Bryn Mawr to Litera-
ture, especially to carry out her plan
for a dissertation on the subject of
Byron’s Influence on Swedish Literature
under the direction of Dr. Chew. “Mrs.
Martine Andrée Miskolozy, from Buda-
pest, Hungary, studied until 1918 at
Kolozsvar (now Cluj Roumania).
Since then her work has been highly
varied, divided between the practical
and the scholarly. She has been an
assistant at the “University of Buda-
pest in the Department of Social Eco-
nomics and Social Politics and has
studied social conditions in her own
country. In the field of practical ex-
perience, she has occupied the position
of secretary in the first social school
in’ Budapest. In that city she was
also- honoréd with the position of chief
of the Red Cross Industrial Research
Department and, in addition to her ex-
ecutive, positions, she belonged, as a
member, to several organizations for
International Relations in Hungary.
At. Bryn Mawr, she plans to study :

A Seven-Day Week

_ Last year the News urged the opening of the Reserve Book Room
on Sunday afternoon for the general convenience of the student body.
The privilege was immediately used by a large number of students, and
has proved indispensable to the mental comfort of the undergraduates.
This year, campus opinion has advanced a step further, and is centering
about, Sunday mornings in the library. Aé a result, the NEws‘is advocat-
ing a full seven-day library week, with the Reserve Book Room open
throughout. That Sunday morning privileges would be generally used,
we believe, for these reasons. ;

First, Saturday is the only day of the week entirely free for the
theatre, concerts, and particularly shopping. Those who do not take
-week-ends frequently spend all or a part of Saturday in Philadelphia
or on protracted expeditions to the village. On Sunday, stores and shops
are closed, and the delights of Vanity Fair are forbidden, or rather, inac-
cessible. And secondly, as Saturday offers the world’6f fashion and
amusement, so Sunday afternoon tempts with social glows.
friends returning from week-ends furnish a genial atmosphere with which
the library at four-thirty can hardly compete.

Su ing,then, is fora large number of us the ideal time for
study. Here are five hours free from classes, unbroken by worldly dis-
tractions, and uninterrupted by Sunday evening services. The Reserve
Book Room could be open without any “change in the existing system of

signing out books for the week-end. The seven-day library week would }.

give the student greater leeway in her studying, and allow her to use the
_ Sunday morning ltours to’ compensate for Saturday’s outer-worldliness.



Strange Interlude

We realize this is-a-matter which jas-already received our notice,
but we feel that the reiterated expressions of discontent with the present
Milk Lunch program may well occasion some further: words.

As the hour now stands, it is not only inconvenient, when one has a
ten or eleven o’clock class, to take advantage of the opportunity to stave
off an empty feeling till luncheén, but it is practically impossible to do
more than snatch-a hasty straw on the way,.when one is occupied. the
periods both before and after.

Fhe present woeful state of affairs is not facilitated by the sadly
reprehensible custom we have observed in some, or rather, most classes,
of beginning»promptly at‘five after the hour, as in the old system, instead
of ten’after, as in the new. We are in the habit of speeding from Dalton.
somewhat after: ten, consuming a bottle of mill in one minute flat, and

jecting ourselves with painful effort to the second or third floor of
Taylor After which breath-taking exertions, we are compelled to sidle
apologetically to.our seats, orfe-of those objectionable individuals who

. interrupt lectures, step on one’s toes, and who, we suspect, are largely.

responsible for the remoyal of ink from classrooms. And yet, theo-
retically, we are on time, possibly with a minute or two to spare.:

We regret that Milk Eunch’has degenerated into a contest for speed
demons. The News will be glad to give space to opinions, pro or con,
on the subject.



A Plea to Music Lovers

It is a known fact relating to human nature, that the more effort a
thing requires, the greater its appeal. If a famous musician were to
perform in New York, there would be a mighty rush toward that city,
but if-he were to play in Philadelphia, many would stay home and read
a book instead of taking a thirty-minute ride to hear him. We hope,
however, that the present case will prove an exception. Dr. Lynnwood
Farnham, possibly America’s greatest organist, and certainly her great-

.. est Bach player, is to. give a series of concerts at St. James’ Church, in
Philadelphia. The Complete Organ Works of Johann Sebastian Bach
will be presented on Monday evenings of alternate months beginning
. with November, and continuing through May. Unreserved seats will be

wes

free of charge, and a reserve ticket for the series may be purchased for.

an incredibly reasonable.sum. As. has been said, “The amount of labor
involved in the preparation and presentation of such a series is so tre-
mendous that only a few times has it ever been attempted. Dr. Farnham,
howeyer, did it so successfully, at the Church of the Holy Communion in
New York that he was obliged to repeat each-of the programs im order
to accommodate all who wished to hear -them.”---It seems unbelievable

that anyone should not take advantage of an opportunity, which ‘can’

seldom, if ever, be equalled, especially when it is literally at one’s door.

; A Light That Failed

The lamp of Bryn Mawr learning has gone out! But no, let us be

accurate and say rather that it is the chandelier. Those flighty students

in the Library whose eyes have sometimes left their books to travel heav-

- enward must long have known that the evil day, the day of darkness, was

at hand. Last spring where the glorious light of seventy-two lamps.once
had been, but four (or was it five) poor bulbs burned bravely on. “Cour-
age!” we cried, “hold on; with the will come reintorce “you
will blaze in new strength.” And so they flickered on, waiting, waiting,

- always waiting for the help that was to-come with the fall. But it was

_ fiot to be. With the autumn came the Freshriien but no fresh support.

systems that most students go di-

schools are more accustomed to pre-

The stock of the*Freshman class is
preponderantly _ British. On the
father’s side, 70, or about 66%, are from
the British Isles, while on the mother’s
side 67, or about 63%, are of the same
stock. The largest single division of
the 34% of. the fathers other than
British is. German; 8% of the mothers
are of German stock.. On the father’s
side there are also-many combinations
of British with Dutch, French and
German. The other unmixed stocks

Varsity Wins First Game
Over Germantown, 7 to 1

Playing in the teeth of a chilling
gale, on Saturday morning, Varsity
won its first game by defeating Ger-

mantown,; 7-1. The team was slowed

up by the cold weather but, as a whole,
the playing was better.

Thee passing of the foreward line
was much improved, especially in the
center where Moore and Remington
seem to have developed a scoring com-
bination. Although Totten seemed to
have some difficulty in receiving, the
ball and getting it under control on
the run, she played a better game than
usual antf seems more at home at wing
than at inside. The nicest goal was
made by Moore, whose game has be-
come greatly improved. She carried
the ball down the field-to the striking
circle and ‘then shot across into the
far corner. of the goal. At last Rem-
ington seems to -be finding. herself
and as a result her play at center for-
ward was extremely good. Several
times, unaided, she dodged past the
defense and made goals: Her chief
asset seems to be her hard clean, shoot-
ing which might-well-be.copied by. the

*rest of the forward line,

The backfield was very good as the
score indicates and the goalies only
had about five stops to make. Ullom,
playing her usual neat game, and Mc-
Cully, reliable as ever, were the out-
standing backs.

At times, positions were not kept as
well as they might have been and fre-
quently the game became rather messy.
On penalty corners«the forward—tine

“was slow at getting out. to the twenty-
five-yard line. .As a result, the backs,
who were.very quick 6n intercepting
the ball, had no one to whom to pass
it.

Bergen, at full,: played a nice game
{or Germantown. ~ Bill, the center for-
ward, scored their only goal on a high

..ball. which was_rather_difficult.to.stop.4.— 0.

Germantown was greatly handicapped
by the lack of a goalkeeper.

Baudelaire Initiates—
Symbolism and Sensation



Continued from Page One

The result of this extraordinary psy-
chology was the initiation of an entirely
new idea of poetry. There was a greater
difference between the Romantics and
Baudelaire than between the Classics and
Romantics. The Romantic idea of beauty
is well known; the Parnassians chose the
classic, frigid beauty of the Venus ‘de
-Milo;
for beauty. Thus, the uglier a thing was
the more it was in character, the more
he respected it. He himself, once the
dandy of Paris,-was now become lax and
careless in his personal-appearance. Bau-
delaire, in co t to the French genius
which had as itS dominating principles
something moral, something of order and
of clearness, now proposed to substitute
fer these principles the.strange, the false,

the exceptional, the ardent, and the sad. |

In his Fleurs du Mal he expresses the
anomalous theory that the poet should
be,a person of incredulity and faith. In
order to express this one must seek his
inspiration in heaven and hell. In his
search for originality he said that poetry
should contain what is rare and different;

consequently, into poetry should be ad-

mitted -sensations. not -worn- threadbare

Baudelaire substituted character |.

rather he admitted them to’his work. In
regard to rime and. form he-went just-as

far. French poetry, even among the.

Parnassians, had labored for a certain
oratorical effect;. likewise some of the
verses of Baudelaire are yot lacking in
the
poetry, but he:goes no further than this.

Baudelaire was aided in his innova-
tions by Edgar Allen Poe, whose tor-
mented mind was a counterpart of Baude-
laire’s own. In 1857, the very mioment
when positivism, with its rationalistic in-
terpretation of the universe, was domi-
nating French thought, Baudelaire sug-
gested, by his. translation -of strange
elusive sensations into personal symbols,
a poetic interpretation of the same uni-
verse. Again, poetry was to seek its
inspiration in life.

widre-than statistics. We are still too

apt to consider them as type individ-

prone to consjder Bryn Mawr as typi-

values behind the statistics, however,
cannot be overemphasized: the oppor-

must, of necessity, lack the specific

Of course this entering record is not
to be taken as the final word, since it!
does not always balance with the grad-
uating class cum laude. The student’s
possibilities must be considered and al-
lowances made for such accidents of edu-
‘cation as health, maturity and: prepara-
tion. Even temperament, which makes
pronounced inequalities in adolescent
work, will enter into college educational
conditions. The thing, above and beyond
college statistics, which is most indica-
tive of a well-rounded mind and_intel-
lectual ability, is a certain intangible
drive and vigor, pushing the mind on and
making it able to attack things with a
rush, and to persist in them until they
are accomplished. It is a kind of char-
acter quality which promises that such
a student will do something . with her
life.





Just why do girls go to college? This
question was answered in a new way by
the 564 Hunter- College Freshmen. who
asserted that “College life, if it is not
to be meaningless, must be a serious one,”
while only, one hundred and fifty-six of
the seven hundred and twenty-four fresh-
men questionnaired spurned. study for
athletics and social life.

After scholastics, outside employment
receives most attention from these
serious-minded youngstérs, with at least
one-half of them planning to occupy
themselves with saleswork, clerking,
journalism, and laboratory work as a
large part of their extra-curricular activ-
ity.. Only segen of the girls who plan
to work, however, carry the burden of
self-support, with forty-four “using their
remuneration toward partial self-support.

The Board of Managers of Swarth-
more College has recently: repealed the
rule which forbids women to smoke. At
the same time the petition of the Wom-
en’s. Student. Government - Association for
a smoking room on the campus was de-
nied. The Board resolution is as fol-
lows: ee
“For many years the Society of Friends
has discouraged, the use of tobacco. . The
Board of Managers of Swarthmore. Col-
lege believe in this view and wish in
every way to uphold it. ..It has been: the
tradition of the Society that concefted
opinion is often more effective than defi-
nite rules. With this in mind the Board
of Managers urges the students
Swarthmore College to avoid the use of
tobacco, but proposes to leave the deci-
sion to each individual.

“The Women’s. Student Government
has petitioned the Board to abrogate the
rule against smoking by women. Acting
under the belief that by concerted effort
to discourage the use of tobacco greater
progress can be. made in that. direction

it is the sense of the Board of Managers
of Swarthmore College that the .Board
rule against smoking by women be re-
pealed |and that the petition from the
student government be referred to the
faculty and administrative officers of the
college.” —N ew
