| Dr. Hamilton Urges
~ War be Combatted
As Dread Disease

Work of the League Health
Commission is Summarized

In Address

SCIENTIFIC ATTITUDE
~ TYPICALLY PACIFISTIC







Goodhart, June 8.—“I sometimes
think how much nearer we should be
to world peace if statesmen would
face war as physicians face gisease,”
remarked Dr. Alice Hamilton, who
delivered the Commencement address
here today. Dr. Hamilton’s speech
was concerned chiefly with the ex-
cellent work done by the.Health Com-
mittee of the League of Nations, of
which she is an eminent member.

Sickness is not the cause of heroism

and “beautiful instances of self-sac- |:

rifice’’; usually its stunts and embit-
ters, rather than ennobles. The ar-
gument that disease is necessary to
keep down excess of population and
to eliminate the unfit is specious, for
sickness often takes those who are
fittest both mentally and spiritually.
All of these arguments are used by
those who believe pacifism to be an
impossible and undesirable idea.

We are told that you cannot change
human nature, that war always has
been and therefore always will be,
that it stimulates heroism: That is
why the fight against disease is so

Miss Donnelly Regards
Literature as an Art
Instituted Courses in Creative

Writing’ Here and Movement
For Comprehensives





HAS TAUGHT 40 YEARS



“T am interested in literature as an
art, in its creative spirit and the link-
ing of its past with present growth, as
well as in its sources and history.”
With these words, Miss Donnelly, who
is retiring this June from her place as
head of the English Department,
summed up the spirit of the. forty
years of her teaching here. “You
see,” she added, “I was brought up in
the Nineties, when art was spelled
with a capital A, and still the form
and quality of any literary work
seems to me the most important thing
about it,—the thing which no student
should fail to grasp.”

When Miss Donnelly began her
work at Bryn Mawr as an instructor
in required general English, she put
her theory into practice. She felt
that the exclusively critical interests
of this course were too narrow, and
through her influence, accordingly,

Many’ Alumnae Gather
To Attend Reunions



President Park Entertains at Home;
1926 Largest Group



In spite of the fact that many alum-
nae had the opportunity of seeing
each other again at Big May Day, be-
tween 200 and 250 people found it
possible to attend class reunions on
June 6 and 7. The largest group
present was the class of 1926, repre-
sented by thirty-six alumnae. Their
headquarters were at Wyndham, with
Edith Harris West, ’26, acting as man-
ager.

Less than ten people were -présent
from classes of 1934 and-1935, whose

Alternate Fellow is
Horace Prize Winner



Jean Holzworth, Latin Major,
Has Magna Average of 88.7
For Four Years



FELLOW HERE NEXT YEAR



Jean Holzworth, the alternate for
the European Fellowship this year,
has had a distinguished career of fine
and original work and has maintained
throughout her four years an aca-
demic average of 88.712. Her most
spectacular achievement while at Bryn
Mawr was the winning of the prize
contest sponsored by the American
Classical League in connection with
the bimillenium celebration of Hor-
ace’s birth.

The contest, known as the “Uni-
versity of Cincinnati Prize Contest,”
was open to undergraduates of uni-
vérsities in the United’ States and
Canada and involved the presentation
of a metrical translation of at least
fifty lines of Horace’s odes or epodes,
an original ode or satire in the style
of Horace and an essay on “Horace
and Augustus.” All the papers were
submitted anonymously or under
pseudonyms; Miss Holzworth chose
the name “John Michael” and hers (or
his) were chosen unanimously by the
judges.

Miss Holzworth won the New Eng-
land Matriculation Scholarship when
she entered college and at the end of
her junior year won the Shippen
Foreign Language Scholarship award-
ed for excellence in a foreign lan-
guage. This year she has done honors
work with Dr. Taylor, writing her
thesis on the Philosophical and Rhe-
torical Works of Cicero. When she
came to college after graduation from
Greenwich Academy, Miss Holzworth
planned to major in English and then
changed to classical archaeology; but
in the middle of her sophomore year
she made up her mind to major in
Latin, doing the work of the entire
first semester of the second year Latin

Rufus Jones Outlines
Personal Philosophy



Baccalaureate Speaker Relates

Doctrine of a Progressive
World Creation



MIND PRODUCES SPIRIT}



Goodhart, June 7.—In his Baccalau-
reate sermon, Dr. Rufus Jones, pres-
ident of the Board of Trustees, ad-

vanced his philosophy of the progres-
sive, creation of the world and the
emergence: of the “free self-transcend-
ent spirit” from the natural-animate
to where “we find ourselves in mutual
reciprocal and communion with a
Beyond within ourselves.”

He began with the proverb: “ ‘the
spirit of man is a candle of the Lord.

Our lives are kindled by G&d’ and as

we feed the flame with our enkindled
lives we become revealing places for
the life of God,” and our religion be-
comes “complete normal spiritual
health.”

This spirit is the result of slow
development of life towards higher
forms, and man “a being with a slen-
der body, but with ideal vision in his
eyes,” has succeeded the mighty
saurians. The spirit does not come
from above but ‘‘as a new and subtle
elevation of what was here before.”
Refined forms of matter allow con-
sciousness to break forth. When the
mind progresses beyond being able to
know an object to being able to know
“that it knows as well as what it
kngws,” the term spirit can properly
be used. The mind is no longer com-
pletely dependent on objects; it can
now “enlarge the empire of its estate
by the ideal forecast of what ought
to.be.” We can enjoy abstract, spir-
itual realities such as Beauty and
Truth, ideas which are eternal. At
the top of this “Jacob’s ladder” we
find within us “a More that is akin
to what we know as spirit in our-
selves.” This actual world only
touches this world within a world as
a “bounding shore.” The upward urge
in the universe has shifted from physi-
cal development and has become a
“nisus towards spirit.”

Dr. Jones said that he preferred
the account. of the creation in~ the
Romans to that in Genesis, because
the former sees man as being still in
the making. In the latter, when God
has made man, “the work is. finished

STEWART WINS MEDAL
FOR FRENCH READING





Alicia B. Stewart, of the graduat-
ing class, won the gold medal for
French reading at the Concours Ora-
toire held on Thursday, May 15. The
medal is offered each year by the
Comité France-Amérique. Last year
it was won by Mary Pauline Jones
who graduated summa cum laude
with distinction in French. Miss
Stewart is diso majoring in French
and has been doing honours .work on
Victor Hugo with Mademoiselle Sou-
beiran. Miss Stewart was one of six

the same selections both of prose and
poetry. Each girl read prepared
passages of La Fontaine and de Vig-
ny, and also read at sight from work
of Andre Gide and Emile Verhaeren.

The judges were Mrs. Pavey, whose
husband is President of the Alliance
Francaise, Madame Cret of Phila-
delphia and Miss Edith Phillips, of
Swarthmore.

Science Building Plans Delayed

a ement to the College
ews, Mrs. F. Louis. Slade,
chairman of the Fiftieth Anni-
versary Fund, said that. the
committee had decided not to
plan the new science building
this spring, although the alum-
nae have obtained enough money
to begin construction. They ex-
pect to wait until they receive
enough to cover the carrying
expenses before the building
shall be begun in order not to
burden the college with the ex-
penses of running it.

Elizabeth Porter Wyckoff, the Eu-
ropean Fellow chosen from this year’s
senior class, is a scholar. as the stu-
dents of the Middle Ages were..Choos-
ing no new-fangled science for her
work, she has majored in the litera-
ture and language of ancient Greece;
and the classical studies of Latin and
philosophy have supplemented her in-
terest in the time-honored, traditional
knowledge on which to some degree
all other knowledge rests. Not a whit
dismayed by the incomprehensibility
attributed to Greek by popular talk,
she has maintained a brilliant record
in this subject as well as in her other
courses throughout her college years,
for her general average is 88.919%



Miss Wyckoff is not, however, ex-
clusively devoted to antiquity. She
is a member of the executive commit-
tee for the very modern organization
of the A. S. U. and heartily approves
of the union between liberal and radi-
cal forces accomplished by this asso-
ciation. She is encouraged, too, by
the increased interest in _ political
affairs shown on the campus. Since
one of her two habitual modes of
recreation is talking—the other is
walking—, she has always been in
close touch with all sides of campus
activity, not merely politics. As hall
president for Pembroke East this
year, she has been a leader in student
government, and as editor of the Lan-
tern, she has been a leader in student
expression. She only wishes the col-

Faculty Endeavoring to Eliminate
Emphasis Upon Grades



On the recommendation of the com-
mittee especially appointed to con-
sider the problem, the Faculty . voted
at its meeting in April that in the
future no grades should be posted in
Taylor Hall. Instead of posting the
grades the Registrar will enter them
on the students’ course cards and send
out the course cards as soon as the
record is complete. In February the
cards will be sent by campus mail; in
June it Will probably be necessary to
send them to the student’s home ad-
dress. In special cases information as
to grades will be given out through
the Dean’s office. Mrs. Manning will
furnish such information when , it
seems necessary for the upperclass-
men, and Miss Ward for the freshmen.
Members of the faculty have agreed
not to give out grades, and students
are especially requested not to ask for

Susan M. Kingsbury
Retiring This Month

Department Since Founding
In 1915.

AMAZING CAREER



HAS



The choice of Susan M. Kingsbury
as director of the Carola Woerishoffer
Department of Social Economy in
1915 resulted from a consideration of
her personal qualities and the achieve-
ments in which they had already as-
serted themselves at, that time.

In 1890 she had her B. A. from

College of the Pacific in California, —

organization. In a very brief .time
after that Dr. Kingsbury had* a
strange assortment of teaching posi-
tions.
country school she went to, the Coggs-
well Polytechnical School, then the
Lowell high school in San Francisco.
During her free hours Miss Kings-
bury managed to work toward her
M. A. in history at Stanford Univer-
sity.

At ‘Columbia, where she secured
her doctorate in 1905, Dr. Kingsbury’s
career began when she became the
first woman ever to receive a fellow-
ship. Following her studies at Co-
lumbia, she was awarded the foreign
fellowship by the American Associa-
tion of University Women. She went
to London, where she ferreted out ex-
ceptionally important documents con-
cerning the Virginia company, which
the Library of Congress published.

In 1908 Dr. Kingsbury went to
teach at Vassar; but an offer of the
Massachusetts State Commission of

ns Straws in the Wind

This ing one of the most eventful years in the history of the
college will close. The alumnae returning to see their friends and the
college will find the face of the campus much the same as: ever and
much the same kind of undergraduate bidding them welcome. . Their
coming demonstrates again their loyalty to the college, gives us after
the heat of examinations a deeper view of our college work and urges us
to see more clearly that work’s relation to the world outside. They
will see graduated a class with no brilliant peaks in its record, but of
an extraordinarily high level, almost one-third receiving their degrees
with distinction. The class itself has been characterized as “hard-
working, steady, disinterested,” and this in the year of the Fiftieth
Anniversary is significant.

The alumnae cannot realize themselves how confusing as well as
exciting this anniversary year has been to the undergraduates, yet
because they have done and are continuing to do so much for the col-
lege they may see more clearly than we the marks of a completed old
and an unknown new. The anniversary celebration fittingly climaxed
a half century of leadership and celebrated the success of a small col-
lege devoted to the advanced education of women. The death of Miss
Thomas four weeks later made clearer the fact that we have reached a
pause, perhaps a turning point. The retirement today of two illustrious
women who have been for many years in the vanguard of all that Bryn
Mawr has meant, whose fresh vigor is more modern than we ourselves,

The choir undertook an unusually ambitious production with Princeton.
May Day was outstanding for its brilliant costumes, its smooth func-

Weekends have taken a turn for the better for the student, and two

students have pointed clearly. to at least one trend which promises to
leave its mark on the college. Three active political groups sprang up

six weeks on the campus. without evoking significant student response,
The Mil-
lion Dollar Drive has almost reached its goal, and plans for building
and for a bigger, better-equipped college are well under weigh. The
Summer Sehool has returned to the campus. A new and promising
graduate research institute in the social sciences has been in part
attained.

There are many streams at work here,.and we are too much in the
middle of them to see their course. Yet the very presence of the
alumnae urges us to consider them carefully and to put a serious query
for the Bryn Mawr to come. That the future of a small college
if it is to be distinctive and academic in the old sense of the word
lies only in specialized graduate fields, is a possible conjecture. Politi-
eal and social trends of the times may make us but one among other
colleges. These are both possible, but they do not promise the future
Bryn Mawr should have. Today the college is a marked success.

The fiftieth year since the fouriding of the college marks the for-

department, for she has giveh, at one time or another, almost all of the

in her department, she has been a broadminded and reasonable execu-
tive; teaching her students, she has been a person who at once opened
a new fineness in whatever she taught and symbolized this fineness in
herself.

Dr, Kingsbury has ever been a pioneer in her method of presenta-
tion of her subject, in her insistence upon a continual afd close connec-
tion between practical experience and theoretical study of social
economy. For the freshness of her method of approach she was chosen

ging interest and enthusiasm which she maintained and managed to
evoke among her students during the past twenty-one years, has spread
her fame far beyond the boundaries of Bryn Mawr. The expression
“mental and spiritual hospitality” which has been applied to Dr. Kings-
bury epitomizes both her intuitive executive ability and the pioneering
spirit which has marked her long and varied teaching experience.

Freed from the responsibility of academic routine Miss Donnelly
and Dr. Kingsbury undoubtedly will find many fascinating subjects to
occupy them and will devote their amazing energy to further explora-
tion of old and new fields.. But we hope that they will retain, though
unofficially, their close connection with the collegé and will continue to
impart to it the vigor and sparkle which has for so long been their
contribution to Bryn Mawr.

STUDENT ENTHUSIASM _|\
FOR MAY DAY PRAISED

The -following letters, from Miss
Park and Mrs. Chadwick-Collins,

representatives on the May Day Com-
mittee:
“The Board of Directors, at its
meeting on Thursday, May 21, voted
to express to the undergraduates its
thanks for their great contribution to
the success of the May Day of 1936.
All the reports to the Board go to
show that the pleasure given to the
spectators of the performances this
year was not only due to the skillful
direction of the whole and of the
various parts, but also in large meas-
ure to the hard work and genuine in-
terest which the undergraduates put
not only into the final performances,
but into the routine preparations. The
result of tKis general feeling of inter-
est and responsibility was quite evi-
dent in the high spirits and the
smoothness with which the final per-
formances were carried out.

_Nery sincerely yours,

Mrs. Chadwick-Collins expressed
her appreciation for the blue plates
sent her in memory of May Day by
the undergraduates, and thanked the
two representatives for their time
and effort during the preparations.

(Gleaned from Dr. Vesicle
summary of the year)



the last session of Congress, acts were
passed to insure the conservation of
the soil through the.planting of crops
to make the soil suitable for cotton,
to extend the neutrality act and to
give the bonus to the veterans. This
last act, passed over the President’s

-‘|veto, will probably result in a two-

months’ boom by which Roosevelt may
gain. Congress rejected the Town-
send plan for inflation that proposed
to provide three billion dollars to pay
for mortgages. Trade pacts have
been made with many countries in-
cluding Canada, Cuba and France and
since the lowering of rates, trade with
the signers has increased consider-

\ably.

The recent decision by the Supreme
Court on the Guffey Coal Bill is “an-
other instance of a_ constitutional
vacuum,” as the miners, whose wages
are low because of interstate compe-
tion, their employers and the state
itself will suffer equally from the
decision declaring the act to be an
invasion of states’ rights, which may
defeat the Republicans next Novem-
ber.

The League has failed. Great
Britain is now greatly embarrassed
by her former policy of advising the
Ethiopians to hold out against the
Italians. There are two possible ways
out of the situation in Europe, the
first being to “turn the League into
a sewing circle” in the hope that the
U. S. A. will join and then to advo-
cate a stiffer policy, the second, to
strengthen the League with military
sanctions. This seems possible, as
‘France, which has been conservative
all winter, has become liberal since
the elections. Meanwhile, Mr. Eden
has been trying without success to
force Hitler to lay his onrey on the
table.

Two Politics Majors

Are Examined ‘Orally|

|Chauncey ‘Binker Speaks; Messages



During Two-Hour Session, Five
Colleagues Aid Dr. Fenwick
In Questioning

IS EXPERIMENTAL



PLAN



(Especially conteibuted by. Barbara
Cary, ’36.)

It has long been customary for can-
didates for the Ph. D. degree to be
required to submit to an oral’ examina-
tion in their special fields of study as
part of the work for the doctorate.
This spring, Dr. Fenwick of the De-
partment of Politics and Economics
conceived the idea of giving a similar
examination to honors students. Vir-
ginia Sale and I were. the first stu-
dents to whom the plan was applied.

The original plan proposed was to
have the examination restricted en-
tirely to the honors work which we
had been‘ doing in the field of Ameri-
can Neutrality policy. Dr. Fenwick
suggested that..several members of
the History and Economics Depart-
ments should participate, especially
those who were authorities” on the
period in which we had worked. In
addition, two outside guests were

found in the case of Ph. D. orals.

Fortunately the whole affair proved
much more*menacing in anticipation
than in execution. On Saturday, May
23, at 9 a. m., outwardly bold but in-
wardly consumed with a bad case of
jitters, we met the examiners in the
History Seminary. Dr. Fenwick pre-
sided, assisted by Dr. Wells, Dr. Gray
and Dr. W. R. Smith. Dr. Herndon
of Haverford and Dr. Savage of
the University of Pennsylvania also
attended and took a prominent part
in the proceedings.

The examination occupied the bet-
ter part:..of two hours and took the
form of a discussion, with each of us
being given about an equal number of
leading questions. In order to ac-
quaint the other- examiners with the
scope*of our preparation, copies of
the bibliographies of reports and topi-
cal indexs of the reports themselves
were supplied. Both of us found
that there were questions which we
were unable to answer and others
which strained our powers of deduc-
tion to the utmost.__Nevertheless, we
were able to satisfy the examiners
that we were well prepared in our
subject.

The idea of an oral examination
either for seniors on the completion of
their major work or for honors stu-
dents only, is an extremely interesting
one which will bear further investiga-
tion. The oral examination is not,
however, so well adapted to every
kind of study. I think it would work
best in subjects such as_ history,
politics or economics. More general
topics such as English or languages
would be less appropriate subjects for



Large Reception Given
To Honor Miss Donnelly



From Friends Are Read



Deanery, May 19.—Professor Lucy
Martin Donnelly, who is retiring this
year from her position as head of the
English Department, was honored to-
night by a dinner and reception. ‘A
large group of guests at the recep-
tion supplemented the number of. those.
present at the dinner, which included
President Park, Dean Manning, Dr.
Chew, Dr. Carpenter, Dr. Tennent,
Dr. Crénshaw, President Nielson of
Smith College, Professor Chauncey
Tinker, Mr. and Mrs. Simon Flexner,
Judge and Mrs. ‘Learned Hand, Mr.
and Mrs. Place, Mrs. Borie, Dr. and
Mrs. Justin MacIntosh, Dr. V. Knee-
land Frank and Miss Edith Finch.

At the dinner Mrs, MacIntosh read
letters and telegrams of tribute from
the first Chinese scholar here,.a colo-
nel in the British Army, the head of.
the Byzantine Institute, the head and
several dons of Newnham College, Ox-
ford, President Woolley of Mount
Holyoke, President Pinkerton of
Wellesley, Alfred North Whitehead,
Logan Pearsall Smith, Lord Bertrand
Russell and I. A. Richards, as well as

friends all over the world.
Chauncey Tinker spoke at the re-
ception following the dinner, setting
forth his conception of what a “‘guar-
dian of English literature” should be.
When Professor Tinker was teaching
at Bryn Mawr, he and all the other
young professors were devotees of the
“Learned Societies.” He began to
doubt the value of the monographs
and footnotes of these societies and
to fear, as.he still fears, that men may
have to put their classics into the cel-
lar in order to make room on their
shelves for the commentators.

Besides the disadvantage of having
to read the commentators instead of
the books themselves, men suffer an-
other disadvantage at the hands of
the Book-of-the-Month Clubs and
Pulitzer Prizes, which select literature
which is rarely of enduring value. It
is teachers and professors who, when
they have gone over and over their
material, see what parts of it are
worth remembering and _ introduce
their students to those parts with a
friendly rather than an imperious
hand. Most of the authors that men
like best they learn about from so-
called “dusty pedagogues,” for all
great books drift inevitably into the
hands of the professor.



this kind of examination, which na-
turally lends itself to the development
of only a,few specific points in a
whole large field. On the whole, how-
ever, the plan of an oral examination
as part at least of the final compre-
hensive examination is one which
might well be considered in planning
for the future.





Melodrama Featured in Late Silent Era
Is Shown in von Sternberg Productions



In the fourth of a series of memor-
able American films, Tatters: A Tale
of the Slums, produced by a London
concern, exhibited a now vanished
tradition of formal acting and melo-
dramatic poses, stiff and unnatural.
It was the story of the kidnapping of
a little rich boy, played by a girl,
another tradition of the early films.
Ornate furnishings and heavily paint-
ed scenery typified the colossal home
of the little rich boy, as contrasted
with the crude surroundings of the
kidnappers’ den.

In 1927 Underworld was produced,
the first professional job of Josef
von Sternberg. A typical gangster
picture of that period, it contained
such characters as Rolls Royce and
Bull Weed, parts played by Clive
Brook ~and George Bancroft respec-

_ tively. The film abounded in individ-

uals leering from behind furniture,
realistic barroom fights and deadly
flappers such as Feathers, Bull Weed’s
girl, played by Evelyn Brent, who
remarked upon meeting Rolls Royce
for the first time: “How long since
you had the body washed and polished,
Rolls Royce?”

The ballroom scene was a mass of

people peeping in and out of long

“streamers. All gangs were well rep-

“Tesented, and as each man went in he
was asked to “check the gats.” There

the part of the principals. In the
silent movies it was necessary for
them to display most of their emo-
tion and feeling in a closeup of the

face. ‘The captions inserted now and
then did little to explain th@factions.
The fifth and last series of typical

American films brought an early edi-
tion of Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse,
first produced in 1928. Despite the
contrary announcement on the pro-
gram, from that day to this Mickey
has remained unchanged in appear-
ance and personality. It is an estab-
lished: fact, however, that Mickey was
far from popular or successful in this
his first appearance on the screen.
A stirring feature, also produced
in 1928, was The Last Command, di-
rected by Josef von Sternberg and
played by such well-known actors as
Emil Jannings, Evelyn Brent and
‘William Powell bringing to light in
an effective way the life of an““extra”
in Hollywood. The picture demanded
the utmost ability. that Emil Jannings
possessed: his characterization of a
difficult part was excellent and con-
vincing. It was without question the

this country. His supporting cast
was a recognizable asset; the mob
scenes taking place in. Russia ad-
vanced the plot admirably and gave
him a chance to prove his mene: as
a great actor.

{SUMMER SCHOOL GETS

UNDERGRADUATE GIFT

(Especially. contributed by Margaret
Honour, ’36)

‘The undergraduate committee for
the Bryn Mawr Summer School is
much pleased to be able to quote the
tribute paid to the undergraduates by
Mys. Bancroft, Chairman of the Fi-
nance Committee of the Summer
School. Her letter runs as follows:

“The Board of Directors of the



learned with great pleasure that’ the
undergraduates of the college have
contributed over one thousand dollars
to the support of the 1986 session of
the school. This is such a generous
gift that I am writing to ask you to
convey possibly
through a paragraph in the NEws, to

the “td a the deep apprecia-

in some manner,

tion and thanks of the Board. The
Summer .Sthool students will realize,
too, that in this gift there exists a
real bond of sympathy and trust be-
tween them and the ‘Winter School.’”
Very sincerely yours,
ELIZABETH N. BANCROFT.
The Drive owes much of its suc-
cess to the undergraduates who took
charge in each hall. Credit is due
particularly to Eleanor Fabyan in
Pembroke West, to Betsy Wyckoff and

1936 Dance Pronounced
A Successful Attempt



Program System Works Well De-
spite Double Stag Lines



(Especially contributed by Barbara
Cary, 36.)

Deanery, May 30.—The. senior class
had a party that really was a party
on a weekend in the midst of examina-
tions! To the tuneful strains of Rice
Longacre’s Haverfordians, approxi-
mately thirty-five couples danced *in
the Deanery from 9 until 2. The
whole affair was exceedingly well
planned and carried out, and our only
regret was that the whole class did
not attend in a body. Everyone pres-
ent was united in agreeing that the
affair was a complete success.

A large group of revellers gathered
in the Deanery for supper at 7.30.
Although it was too cold to go into
the gardens, the guests enjoyed a de-
licious buffet supper served indoors.
The rest of the company arrived in
time to start the program dances at
ten. Fourteen of these were held with
a long intermission between the sev-
enth and eighth numbers. Skeptics
were pleased to see that the plan for
program dances did not completely
collapse under the strain of a double
stag line. In fact a delightful kind
of confusion reigned which permitted
everybody to get a chance to dance
with everyone else with the least pos-
sible loss of life.

Not only was the faculty well rep-
resented by Dr. and Mrs. W. R. Smith
and Captain and Mrs. James Chad-
wick-Collins in the capacity of official
patron saints, but also during the
course of the evening we saw Dr. Fen-
wick and Mr. Wyncie King among the
milling throng of dancers. Many of
the guests came from such distant
points as Chicago and Cambridge,
Massachusetts, to attend the dance.
Local colleges ‘were also well repre-
sented with Haverford enjoying a
majority, although it is rumored that
several lads from the University of
Pennsylvania were mistaken for sons
of Haverford, which may account for
our impressions of the plethora of our
neighbors. -

‘The cards on which the programs

were written were very cleverly exe-
cuted. The.bottom half of examina-
tion blue bookS were used, and on the
outside was the printed “Extract from
the Rules of the Faculty” and a “ ’36”
in red letters. Inside were two pages
labeled ‘“‘Questions” and “Answers” on
which the program was written. On
the back page were the names of the
patrons and patronesses under the
formidable title of “Examiner.”
The dance was an“$tsvanding suc-
cess from start to finish and the Class.
of 1986 heartily recommend the plan
of a Senior Dance to all posterity.



Bryn Mawr Summer School have}.

Dr. Kingsbury Praised
At Farewell Dinner



Research Institute Wilf be Named
For Retiring Professor

.



Deanery Gardens, May 30.—At a
farewell dinner given for Di. Susan
Kingsbury by. her colleagues the sin-
cere note of regret. occasioned by her
retirement after twenty-one years of
service as director of the Carola Woe-
rishoffer Depaxtment of Social Econ-
omy was mingled ‘by the speakers
with enthusiasm concerning the ex-
pansion planned for the department.

President Park announced that in

order to affiliate Dr. Kingsbury’s name
even more closely with the depart-
ment, a sum of money is to be raised
to make possible for her college “a
further development of the work in
which she is most interested.” The
Susan M. Kingsbury Institute of Re-
search will include a new fellow, an
additional scholar, funds for publica-
tion and a research assistant. The
latter was made possible by the gen-
erous donation of $25,000 by Miss
Fanny Cochran, 1902.

Miss Park expressed the hope that
the organization would connect with
those of the government. Practical
aspects of the work will be extended.

Dr. Mildred Fairchild expressed the
official welcome of the college to out-
side guests among whom were Miss
Fanny Cochran, Mr. and Mrs. Her-
bert Lincoln Clark, Dr. Alice Hamil-
ton and Secretary of Labor Perkins.

The original treatment which the
study of social sciences received at
Bryn Mawr was emphasised by Dr.
Kingsbury. A letter from Miss Jean
Carter of the Russel Sage Founda-
tion prophesied that “there will be no
laying of her head on the fence” when
“Dr. Kingsbury is turned out to pas-
ture,” but that, on the contrary she
will “give the colts a jolt.”

Dr. Herbert Miller remarked on
Dr. Kingsbury’s insistence on stand-
ards. Even though she is engrossed
in women’s struggle for equality,
“she never lets an emotion interfere:
with her judgment,” and if a man
has gifts, “she gives him opportunity
to exercise them.”

The contributions of Dr. Kingsbury
to her time, Miss Perkins stated,
reach beyond Bryn Mawr. Dr. Kings-
bury is one of the first to become “an
extra-mural person.” She had to go
among a great variety of people to
exchange theoretical ideas with ones
of practical reality. This aspect of
Dr. Kingsbury’s work was also dis-
cussed by Dr. Alice Hamilton.



NAIL BRUSH SOLE LOSS
OF ANNUAL FIELD TRIP



Coming as it did between May Day
and exam time, the annual Geology
Field Trip exhibited a surprising lack
of fatalities when it steamed back in-
to port after its weekend with nature,
ie, scaling mountains, digging fos-
sils, seeing coal mines. No one had
fallen off anything; the bus had not
broken down (not é¥en a flat tire);
and only one unassertive case of poi-
son ivy had made its appearance. The
fact that only one person contracted
this disease was a pure mniracle, since
all concerned had made a good four
hundred yard trek through low lying
foliage that was mainly poison ivy
plant.

The list of articles lost, strayed or
forgotten en route, however, assumed
quite interesting proportions before
the trip was over. Mrs. Dryden was
temporarily mislaid in the coal mine;
one pink enamel nail brush found a
final resting place in the Lehighton
Hotel, and on the first day out some-
one forgot the food. Thirty odd box
lunches were reposing in the porter’s\
entry of Pembroke instead of in the
bus, an error which was rectified by
an abrupt right-about-face and six or
eight miles in the direction the trip
was not headed.

Without exception people returned
with things they had not started out
with. Everyone had a sample of
Pennsylvania’s finest anthracite, pre-
sented with the compliments of the
company in a neat little box with
“this is Sample No. 2369” written on
the side. Almost everyone had an un-
wieldy paper bag full.of fossils to call
her own, and tout le monde. had dirt
all over her and an ache in her back.
It could not have been all agony, how-
ever, for some en

Weekend Committeé,




Future May Days Are

Discussed in Council

Outing
Club for Winter Sports Are
Considered |





EXPLAIN GRADE SYSTEM .



Miss Park’s House, May 13.—
the final meeting of the year of the
College Council both the new and
the retiring members attended. Sug-
gestions for the production of future

May Days were discussed. The week-

end committee was again considered

and an outing club which would rent
rooms or dormitories somewhere in
the mountains for winter sports was
reported under weigh and _ consider-
ing Buck Hill Falls as a location.
Pros and cons about the recent deci-
sion to mail rather than to post grades
were voiced, and the general opinion
was expressed that the emphasis
should gradually be removed from
the numerical grade and be placed
upon detailed individual criticism
from the professor.

Criticism of May Day centered
chiefly around the pageant. The sug-
gestion was made that next time Maid
Marian, Robin Hood and the Maypole
be placed at the end in order to bring
the procession to an exciting climax
and to prevent the Court and the
Maypole from reducing each other’s
effect by their nearness. That one of
the wagon plays should be given on
the road in front of the grandstand
to begin the performance on the
Greene, that two refreshment booths
be erected to relieve congestion, and
that in the future planting of trees
and bushes be done with an eye to
natural settings for the fixed plays,
were among the most constructive
suggestions. More heralds to keep
the people behind the audiences quiet
were requested by several students.
The difficulties and dangers involved
in raising the heavy Maypole can be
reduced, it was_pointed out, if a sys-—-
tem of pulleys are used in the future. “
These and other suggestions will be

and direetions which is being com-
pile and stored away for future ref-
erence.

Since thé two Pembrokes have been
made one hall and moving from one
to another permitted without the
quota, there has been a “mass migra-
tion” to Pembroke West from Pem-
broke East so that next year there
will under present plans be only five .
freshmen in West. The Council sug-
gested that the old arrangement of
separate halls be reinstated over a
period of years; and several individu-
als proposed that the unusual situa-
tion for next year be made known
to the incoming group and that they
be asked to return to East if they can
do so.

The outdoor club which had been
proposed earlier in the year by the
Athletic Association hopes to provide
arrangements for winter sports next
year. Buck Hill Falls has been pro-
posed as a location where rooms or
dormitories might be rented for one
weekend or regularly if the interest
on campus were sufficient. If Buck
Hill proves too expensive, students.
urged that a place be chosen where
there will be frequent and rapid trans-
portation facilities. For weekends in
general, a revival of the musicales in
Wyndham and frequent one-act plays
and amateur nights were suggested.
The new arrangement about grades,
while it does reduce the ease with
which one can discover one’s stand-
ing in a class, was received favorably
by the Council. Competition has be-
come very great recently and this
change, it was urged, is but one step
he ong way toward more mature and

ore individual work. Miss Park
pointed out that it is part of a gen-
eral trend which has been growing
since ‘the institution of honors work
several years ago, that conferences
and discussion of work with profes-
sors are increasing every year and
that the comprehensives are them-
selves a major and promising step
in this direction.

Miss Park Reviews Year

In Last Chapel Speech

Calls Senior Class Unusually Steady,
Attitude Disinterested





Goodhart, May 19.—“I usually let
the year end without commment,” said
Miss Park in chapel, “but this one
has been so out of the ordinary that
it deserves a few valedictory words.”

The year which brought general
blessings, such asa full college and
no serious illnesses or epidemics, was
also one of special events.. Two great
prizes were won by Dr. Melba Phil-
lips and Jean Holzworth, ’386. On
November 1 and 2, 1935, the Fiftieth
Anniversary of the college was cele-
brated and made unforgettable by the
presence of Miss Thomas and the pro-
cession of the fifty classes which have
been graduated since the founding
of the college.

December brought the death of Miss
Thomas, a fitting end to a life so full
of vigor and force, and the dignified
and appropriate memorial service in
her honor. In the week before Christ-
mas the-Messidh was given at Prince-
ton and in Goodhart Hall by the com-
bined Princeton and Bryn Mawr glee
clubs. In February and March the
college was. given the ‘privilege of
hearing I. A. Richards, the Flexner
lecturer,.deliver a series of lectures
on the Interpretation of Prose.

The greatest event of the spring was
May. Day, which was to many the
most beautiful of all hitherto given.
In spite of the fact that it involved
more work and preparation than ever
before, the college took it in its stride
amazingly well. One of the fore-
most reasons for the smoothness with
which it was carried off, was the ex-
cellent group in charge. Mrs. Chad-
wick-Collins said that if she had had
to choose the Executive Committee
again, she would not have: made one
change. The great thing, however,
which made the 19386 May Day an
unique pageant, was the unflagging
spirit of the undergraduates.

This year has brought academic
changes. The absence of Miss Don-
nelly and Miss Kingsbury, who retire
this year, will be keenly felt. The
requirements for the completion of
work for the Master of Arts degree
are to be made stiffer in order to in-
sure a “fairer way of getting into
Bryn Mawr and a fairer way of get-
ting out.” An old tradition was abol-
ished when the system of posting un-
dergraduate marks was changed to
one of mailing them. The faculty

' feels that this new method. will in-

crease the maturity of work and
transfer the quality and direction of
study from that of a child to that
of an adult.

Miss Park closed with a tribute to
the class of 1936. It has shown it-
self, since its entrance, a class of

definite character, intelligent, steady

and disinterested. It has had “its
ear to the ground and its shoulder
to the wheel” and has moved con-
stantly toward its goal. It is the
President’s wish that the seniors con-
tinue as alumnae the record they have
made for themselves and prove good
critics who will welcome intelligent
changes and whose outlook will be
not that of 1936, but that of the cur-
rent year.

EIGHT JUNIORS TO BE
ABROAD NEXT WINTER
An unusually large group of juniors
will be spending the winter of ’36-’37
in colleges and universities abroad
and elsewhere in this country. Four
will be in France with the Delaware
Group, three will be in Germany, and
one wilk:go to Spain with the Smith
Group. Three students plan tenta-
tively to spend next year at the Uni-
versity of Michigan, and one may



‘transfer to Radcliffe.

Esther Buchen, Eleanor Mackenzie,
Dorothy Rothschild: and Boone Staples
are going to France, and Alice Chase,
Mary Howe de Wolf, and ‘Elizabeth.
Simeon are going to Germany. Kath-
erine Bingham will join the Smith
Group early this summer.

Seniors Reminisce on Campus Steps; Say

Last Farewell to Buildings and Inmates



._ When Taylor bell rang at twelve
forty-five on May 20, closing the last
class of the year, the whole ¢ollege
poured out to hear the seniors dis-
course from various traditional rostra.

The first. celebrations were onthe
senior steps of Tayler Hall; whence
the mob migrated to Dalton, to the
Gymnasium and finally to the Library.

The seniors sang a farewell song
to all the inmates of Taylor, after
which Anne Reese proceeded to re-
count how she had found the powers-
that-be (of the college) tearing their
hair (“there was a. little pile of hair
in the middle of the floor”) because
the glories of Taylor were about to
be eclipsed by the new science build-
ing. Miss Reese offered herself as a
guide to the mysteries of Taylor and
demonstrated to the college her pe-
culiar qualifications for the post. The
optical illusion was created by a very
battered policeman’s hat and a black
mustache that had to be held in place.

The erstwhile seniors then marched
to Dalton, singing Where, Oh, Where
Are the Verdant Freshmen. Miss

Veeder lectured before Dalton, chosen,
she said, not because of her proficiency
as a speaker, but because of her de-
ficiency as a scientist. In her opinion
the nicest thing about science was
the communal spirit in the labora-
tory—the work one does there is never
one’s own.

(Miss Chapman mounted the Gym-
nasium steps announcing that she was
in a ‘delickte position because she
didn’t want to bring her “incomplete”
records—which qualified her to speak
—to the attention of Miss Petts. Be-
fore the august doors of the Library,
Pauline Manship graphically narrated
the horrible sufferings of a late
friend of hers who had had the au-
dacity to enter those grim portals.

Jane Matteson, president of the
senior class, spoke under Pembroke
Arch, describing her class as the peak
of womanly beauty, in fact, “the per-
fect thirty-six.” She regretted that
this could not be passed on, but as
the best alternative she handed over
the. college, symbolized by the tradi-

tional straw hat, to Esther Harden-| |

bergh, president of the junior class.



Susan-M. Kingsbury
« Retiring This Month

Continued from Page One



child labor “pointed so directly” to her
real concerns that she dropped her
teaching. This survey was the first
of its kind in America. Following
this work, Dr. Kingsbury joined the
staff of Simmons College, where she
remained until she came here in 1915.

A shift of interest rather than a
change in type has taken place at
Bryn Mawr during the last 21 years,
Dr. Kingsbury believes. The idealism
of the pre-war years soured into dis-
satisfaction after the war. The first
years of the depression emphasized a
feeling of responsibility which was
thrown aside with the realization of
the “necessity of preparation for
specific professional work.”

Dr. Kingsbury has been most inti-
mately connected with the graduate
school. Approximately 200 students
have shared in the untouched and
necessary work of this department.
a has it initiated new techni-
ques. in its transplanting of scientific
work into factual experiences, and its
introduction of monographs into so-
cial research, but individual research
has received material results. For
instance, it was a survey of sweat
shop or “homework” conditions made
in this department which occasioned
salutary laws passed by the govern-
ment. Dr. Kingsbury urges additional
interrelation between sociology and
politics, a more thorough foundation
for undergraduates and further prac-
tice for advanced students in public
welfare.

Outside of her working hours Dr.

Kingsbury continues her sociological
works. Even her travels are chosen
for this purpose. She made a report
of employment in pre-war Russia to
the Social-Economic Congress. In
collaboration with Miss Fairchild she
also wrote a book on Factory, Family
and Women in the Soviet Union. Dr.
Kingsbury intends to go back-to Rus-
sia this summer to study the develop-
ments which the shortened working
hours have brought about in the use
of recreational time. She staunchly
denies that any book will ‘be a result
of her trip.

This use of leisure time is one of
the problems common to both. our
country and Russia. In addition we
are both countries of great size con-
taining a variety of nationalities.
Russia’s level of education, however,
is generally low, while our lack of
education is restricted to certain
groups. Russia’s application of
technique and her adaptation of the
individual to his resources has signifi-
cant implications, Dr. Kingsbury be-
lieves. .

In this | connection, the Summer
School, too, is important, for it is de-
veloping “the technique of teaching
adults with limited educations. But
its greatest contribution,” Dr. Kings-
bury asserted, was “the development
of women workers into leaders in labor
communities and consequently lead-
ers in the thoughtful consideration of
problems in the working class.”

Off-campus affairs have secured a
valuable portion of Dr. Kingsbury’s
attention. It was she who first or-
ganized the Haverford Community
Center, which started in such a dis-
couraging little room that it was nick-
named “Pneumonia Hall.” It has

grown apace with her interest in it.
Among other chairmanships that Dr.
Kingsbury holds are that of the Com-
mittee on the Economic and Legal
Status of Women of the American
University Women; the committee is
now occupied with work in connection
with the Department of Labor. She
has accepted the presidency of the
Philadelphia branch ‘of the Univer-
sity Women’s Club and was chairman
of its. Educational Committee. Out-
starting among her honors ‘is the
vice-presidency of the American Eco-
nomical and Sociological Association,
a post usually held by men.

Dr. Kingsbury’s “Sunday after-
noons” are both instructive and de-
lightful to her students. and friends.
Flavored by her brusque decisiveness
and her approachable enthusiasm,
they have attracted such energetic
thinkers as Jane Addams, Dr. Alice
Hamilton, Secretary of Labor Perkin
Karl de Schweinitz and Eva Whiting

. The returns: are all in.” This
man was.a failure because, under this
system of creation, he has no possi-
bility of changing. The former con-
siders creation as progressive, that
“God hasn’t finished making his world
and especially is He still making us.”
Dr. Jones believes that “what is to be
is ... greater than what is.”

The process of evolution in its
lower stages Dr. Jones compared to
an escalator—everything moves inde-
pendently of the mind. But in the
higher—levels there is no escalator,
and we are free to go a higher goal or
not, as we wish.

Dr. Jones concluded by saying that
there are times in our lives when
we feel fresh initiation into life, and
that he hoped the present occasion
would be one of these “vernal equi-
noxes.”

Merion. Approximately fifteen to
twenty alumnae attended the reunion
of classes 1925 and 1927; whose head-
quarters were Pembroke West and
Rockefeller, respectively. Katharine

%|McBride, ’25, and Audrey Sanders

Lewis, ’27, acted as managers.
The-class of 1928 was represented
by twenty-five people, who met at
Rockefeller, with Virginia Atmore, ’28,
acting as manager. Pembroke East
and Denbigh were the headquarters
for twenty members from classes of
1908 and 1909, respectively. Myra
Elliot Vanclain, ’08, and Lillian Laser
Strauss, 09, served as managers.
Larger numbers turned out from
the classes of 1906 and 1907, which
were represented by approximately
twenty-five or thirty alumnae. Louise

‘Cruice Sturdevant, ’06, was manager

for the class of 1906 in Pembroke East
and Alice Hawkins, ’07, served in
Pembroke West for her class.

Class suppers were held at 8 p. m.
and picnics at 6.30 p. m. on Saturday,
June 6. The classes of 1925 and 1935
had their picnic in the Hollow. Elinor
Amram Nahm, ’28, entertained her
class at her home and the class of
1934 had their picnic behind Radnor.
On Sunday the classes of 1906, 1907,
1908 and 1909 met for a picnic in
Wyndham Garden.

The classes of 1907-and 1926 met
for supper in Wyndham, while 1906
dined in the Deanery, 1908 in the Com-
mon Room, 1909 in the May Day Room
and 1927 in Rockefeller. At 2 p. m.

lish was differentiated from this gen-





a study of contemporary literature,
and in this way acquired a movement
and vitality not possible before. At!
the same time, however, the rest of '
the general course was compressed’



which a general survey of English
literature was made. As- President
Thomas, President Nielson and sev-

’ eral other instructors first gave this |

survey, and as Miss Donnelly took it
up after them, it allowed time for in-
dividual literary works as well as for
general trends and periods; but with
the reduction of time, it lost in depth
and richness. By touching merely!
the high points Miss Donnelly strove |
to overcome this deficiency, and when.
she gave up the teaching of it after
directing it for thirty years, she still
felt its value. She suggests that it
might now be used experimentally as!
a final rather than a preliminary
course in the case of English majors,
since it would then provide excellent |
preparation for their comprehensive
examinations by filling in gaps and
giving a general framework to the
whole subject.

It is because of such a general shap- |



“ing which the comprehensives give to)

knowledge, and because of their ten-|
dency to make students think of their
work as a whole rather than as a
series of separate courses, that Miss

tions. During the last years when
Miss Thomas was president, Miss
Donnelly worked to introduce them at!
least into her own department, but it’
was not until Miss Park rearranged |
the faculty schedule, allowing profes-
sors necessary extra time and becom-
ing interested in the comprehensives |
herself, that they became possible.
A few disasters occurred among Eng»
lish students because of them, but on;
the whole the work in English has’
been improving consistently _ since
their institution.

Besides originating the movement
for comprehensives, Miss Donnelly
has_begun many other experiments
now embodied in the college life. Hav-
ing seen the wonderful work done in
Japan by Miss Tsuda, a_Bryn Mawr
student, she desired to “set the ball
rolling” in China too. With the help
of several friends she therefore:
founded the Chinese Scholarship in
1918. She founded also the New Book
Room in the Library. She was one of
the original committee for the Bryn
Mawr Summer School, ard she has
continued to be intensely interested in
this organization because of the deeper
eagerness and sincerity of the stu-
dents there and the challenge which
their independent thinking gives to
any teacher.

Miss Donnelly does not disapprove
of the regular Bryn Mawr students
who simply take their education more
as a matter of course. In answer to
the laments so many alumnae make
that students are not so brilliant nor
so earnest as they formerly were, she
replies that they are just as good as
-ever.. Perhaps they have less time for
and writing in

“When our statesmen are as fully
convinced that war is evil as physi-
cians are convinced that disease is

trolling it, as we are on the way to
controlling disease.”

The members of the Health Com-
mittee of the League of Nations are
not appointed by their governments,
nor do they represent any country,
although their selection is influenced
by the desire to have the membership
widely scattered over the world. All
are chosen because they are experts
in. some field of .public health.

In its early days, after the war,
the committee was occupied chiefly
with restoring public health work in
the older countries and initiating it
in the newer, and in bringing malaria
under control after it had spread far
and wide. The most stricken coun-
tries were visited by members of the
committee, who gave advice accord-
ing to the conditions in the individual
countries and in consideration .of the
amount of money available for such
work. Sleeping sickness and tubercu-
losis control are also among the par-
ticularly successful projects of the
committee. a
It is noteworthy that by 1925 the
committee, which had at first asked
permission of the various countries to
make its investigation, was now be-
sieged by inquiries and pleas for help
from all parts of the world. Such
investigations have spread widely of
recent years, and have been conducted
in Persia, Latin America, Turkey and
the Far East, in addition to Europe.



Drexel Institute Changes Name
Philadelphia, May 30—Drexel. In-
stitute of Art, Science and Industry—
the only college which has adopted the
cooperative plan of technical educa-
tion in the Philadelphia area—is now
officially Drexel Institute of Technol-
ogy, according to an announcement
made by the Trustees of the Institute.
Drexel Institute was founded in
1891 by Anthony J. Drexel, Philadel-
phia financier and philanthropist, as
a technical college for men and wom-
en, open for day and evening sessions.
The college offers courses in four
schools—Engineering, Home Econom-
ics, Business Administration and Li-
brary Science.
Both the Engineering and Business
Administration Schools offer five-year
cooperative courses. The cooperative
college system is based on the coordi-
nation of theory and practice. After
the freshman year, the student spends
half his time in college and the other
half in a carefully selected position
with some progressive business or in-
dustrial firm—alternating in three-
month periods between the college and
his outside position. Because his prac-
tical work is coordinated with his
classroom studies, his entire college
course is well balanced.

arate cards as rapidly as_ possible.
The grades in hygiene and physical
education will be posted in the Gym-
nasium.

The most frequent criticism which
has been made of the proposed change
is that students will not be able to
know their comparative standing in
any class. This criticism was made
in the faculty discussion, but the ma-
jority of the faculty apparently felt
that the sense of competition between
undergraduate students had been un-
duly stimulated by the posting of
grades. There will, of course, be no
change in the award of honors, and
individual members of the faculty will
be entirely at liberty to discuss the
comparative merits of examination pa-
pers and reports if it seems desir-
able. There has been a very general
feeling in the faculty that many stu-
dents were placing a false emphasis
on grades, and it was the hope of
the committee which made the recom-
mendation that the new system of an-
nouncing the grades would eliminate
much of the excitement and misinter-
pretation which has followed the post-
ing of grades in Taylor. There will
inevitably be a certain amount of de-
lay in the new system, but it is to be
hoped that real inconvenience can be
avoided by furnishing necessary in-
formation from the Dean’s office.

BOOK REVIEW
We in Captivity. presents a side of
Irish life other than that favored by
Donn Byrne and his followers; Kath-
leen Pawle deals here straightfor-
wardly with the abortive rebellion of

1916 under the _leadership of the
dreamer, Padraic Pearse. The chief
character, Ignatius Proudfoot, is in-
geniously presented first as a very
hungry acolyte, but the story of the
full years of his youth is a powerful
one.

His life at the College of Rochenoir
in Dublin is one of the most interest-
ing phases of the book, and the char-
acters of the-priests who administer
the work there :are especially well
drawn, for the author stresses their
doubts and emotions rather than
their ecclesiastical personalities. The
friends Ignatius makes there are dealt
with consistently throughout, and their
interrelations are all-important for an
undertanding of their actions. . At the
end of the book one cannot but be
struck with the horrifying injustice of
their destinies, as Healy, who was
born to be a demagogue, wrecks the
life of each, and yet, absolutely unre-
lenting, goes on to higher things.

As in so many of ‘the novels of this
day, the minor characters are the most
clear and forceful. Danny Finnigan
deserves a place beside some of Dick-
ens’ best creations, and. the members
of Ignatius’ family are brilliantly done.
Miss Pawle is particularly good at giv-
ing quick sketches of the backgroynd
of each of her characters.

Yet there is a strange paucity of
general atmosphere in the novel. The
theme of the sleeping Old Woman,
that is; Ireland, is strong enough, and
this book may represent a reaction

lege would express itself a little more.
' Although Miss Wyckoff: has been
interested in Greek ever since her
first training in that subject in the
Brearley School, and although she has
enjoyed her courses in the Greek de-
partment here, a:liking to write and
study English has always rivalled
her inclination toward the classical
languages. Her Freshman English
with Miss Glen was as exciting and.
delightful as any research she has
made since then into the tragedies of
Aeschylus or the poetry of Pindar,
while the two courses she most regrets
having missed while she was here are
English courses too—the Elizabethan
Drama and the Seventeenth Century
Literature which Miss Glen has al-
ways taught.

The winning of the European Fel-
lowship, is not the first honor which
Miss Wyckoff. has gained at Bryn
Mawr. As a sophomore and as a
junior she held the James Rhoads
Memorial Scholarship, while at the
end of her junior year she was award-
ed the Maria Eastman Brooke Hall
Memorial Scholarship for having the .
highest average in her class and the
Hinchman Scholarship, the most
coveted of all undergraduate awards,
given to the junior who has done the



from the imagist writing of Donn
Byrne; but the stories that Maureen
MaCarthy tells to Ignatius, for ex-
ample, might well have been expanded
to make the motive for the actions
even more powerful.

The love story of Norah Proudfoot
and Dick Finlay diverges abruptly
from the main theme. It offers, how-
ever, strong contrast to the story of
Ignatius and, Maureen, for the one be-
gins in great happiness and ends in
sorrow, while the other is never free
from doubt and torment till the end,
when the final hope shows in the West,
as the lovers look to America.
