‘Receives Praise

FRESH, VARIED VERSE
BEST PART OF ISSUE





(Especially Contributed by
Mrs. Manning)

The April Lantern in the substance
and seriousness of its prose and verse
compares very favorably with the
previous issues of the year. The edi-
torial is briéf, well written, and
pointed. The book review is an intel-
ligent appreciation of the outstanding
succés d’estime among this year’s
novels. The criticism of the recent
Flexner lectures, while the writer
seems: scarcely to have followed Mr.
Richards’ argument on the origins of
language, does express very well and
with a pleasant boldness of attack an
opposing view of the significance of
words.

The long article on the recent pro-
letariat novel, which occupies more
space than any other single piece of
writing in this Lantern, deals with a
contemporary phenomenon which cer-
tainly deserves to be studied by the
present generation of undergraduates.
Perhaps it is only the jaundiced; tap-

_italist eye of the present reviewer
which finds this exposition not quite
sO persuasive or convincing as it was
apparently intended to be. Should
not such an article have the effect of

making a liberal bourgeoise, as we

co" to be, feel some desire to read

e books mentioned and _ praised?
Unfortunately the only effect of Miss
Coplin’s exposition has been to deepen
our conviction that most of these
books will never be read save by those
who are sufficiently class-conscious to
Why

should books which are, as Miss Cop-
_lin herself seems to indicate, meant
‘to be persuasive,’avoid those techni-

ques which centuries of writers have
found effective toward this very end;
or, on the other hand, if this school
of writers has worked out a new
technique of pérsuasion, why should
she not analyze it a little further and
show how they are able to win over
those members of the skeptical intel-
ligentsia who stray, perhaps unwit-
tingly, into these annals of the poor
which are by no means short or
simple? The quotations given are not
altogether convincing, and I believe

Directors Accept New

Science Building Plans

ts Ale
“April “"7.—Miss Park announced in

a statement to the News that pre-
fminary plans for the new science
building have been. accepted. In



chapel on Thursday morning the fuller !
details of. these plang will be an-j

nounced to the student body.

“At the last meeting of the Board
of Directors the Buildings and
Grounds Committee presented a re-
port on plans for the new science
building which was accepted by the di-
rectors. Following this general ac-
ceptance of the report, the committee
has been authorized to proceed at once
with final plans and then with speci-
fications for the science building which
will make it possible to begin the
building this spring and complete it
for use in the autumn of 1937. The
report recommended that it be built
directly opposite Dalton Hall, where

the faculty apartment house called!

Cartref now stands and will house the
departments of chemistry and geology.

The building is. to be of stone and)

simple in its design, but in harmony
with the other buildings. The plans
for the interior have in great part
been designed by the two departments
concerned. The cost of the building
will be about.$320,000, the amount of
the campaign funds either er mt
for the science building or given un-
restricted. Unfortunately this amount
does not include anything for new
scientific apparatus nor can any part
of it be reserved for a maintenance
fund.”



Debates Are Planned
On News and Politics



International Club Will be Sponsors if
Interest is Sufficient

The International Relations Club is
planning to sponsor a Debating So-
ciety which will begin its work either
this spring or next fall, depending on
the practicability of increasing the
amount of extra-curricular activities
while May Day preparations are going
on, There has been-some~ discussion
of such an organization during the
past two years and it is hoped that
now there will really be enough in-
terest shown to make the attempt
worthwhile.

There are many possibilities open
for the handling of debates; they
might be confined to discussions be-
tween students under the direction of
members of the faculty, or the stu-
dents might oppose the faculty. A
good deal of debating could be done

Vacationers Battle Northern Blizzards,
- Bask in Southern Suns of Bermuda



There was a division of opinion
zmong those of us who felt the need
of getting away from it all during va-
cation. Some gathered at the coldest
corner of New Hampshire and strug-
gled to keep warm by skiing vigor-
ously; others sought out hot climates
and managed to keep cool by swim-
ming in the ocean.

Mildred Bakewell, ’38; Doreen Can-
aday, ’36; Esther Hardenbergh, ’37;
Margaret Jackson, ’37; Sarah Meigs,
39; Sara Park, ’36, and Nancy Wood,
39, being of the first school of
thought, went to New Hampshire.
They stayed at Pinkham Knotch, one
of the Appalachian Mountain huts,
and at Glen House, Gorham. Both

_huts and houses advocated the simple
life, accommodated their guests in
double-decker beds, aroused them at
six o’clock in the morning and were
heated effectively, if primitively, by
smoke coming through a hole in the
middle of the floor. The visitors
skied on the ravine on Monday along
with some very expert representatives
of Harvard, Yale, Princeton and
Haverford. They say that it was ex-
citing to see a good skier, tiny in the

distance, come zigzagging down over
the Headwall, while shouts of ‘“Head-
wall’ echoed down the ravine.

On Wednesday five of them com-
bined art with their sport and per-
formed a melodrama with, some of
their friends. Doreen, with loosened



hair, was the heroine and all who
took the precaution of charcoaling
the tops of their cheeks so that the
glare of the snow would not be reflect-
ed into their eyes met their just des-
serts and were branded as villains.
Fortunately the fruits of their labor
are not lost to the world, as Sara
Park’s brother took a movie of the
drama. The director and producer
are visiting Bryn Mawr on May Day
and expect to show. the film. On
Thursday they went on the Sher-
bourne trail, which was in bad con-
dition. Esther fell on her hand,
breaking several bones. They re-
turned to the ravine on Friday and
had a very pleasant lunch with Mrs.
Hilton and some of the girls from
Putney School, during which they
sang German songs.

A larger group went to Bermuda.
Lucille Fawcett, ’37; Frances Heins,
39; Laura Musser, ’37; Langdon
Schenk, ’39; B. A. Stainton, and Alys
Welsh, ’39, stayed in Hamilton. Mar-
garet Otis, ’°39; Dorothy Wilder, 37,
and Susanna Wilson, ’38, stayed at
Inverorie and wrangled with Mr.
Jones on the subject of renting
bicycles: The weather, ocean and

beach were perfect and the only thing’

that inconvenienced the tourists were
all the other tourists—they make it

hard to get anyone to pay any atten-.

tion to you!» Laura and B. A., finding

Of Alumnae Exciting



Councillors at Annual Meeting
Hears That Drive Total is
Now $919,289



COME FROM, 7 DISTRICTS.



(Especially contributed by Doreen
Canaday, ’36.)

Undergraduates as such seem to
have enough to do to justify their ex-
istence without concerning themselves

with the activities of their predeces-
sors who have become alumnae. How-~
ever, having been with the Alumnae
Council which met this year in St.
Louis, I was most agreeably intro-
duced to that organization, and made
acquainted with its powers and func-
tions; and I think that it is of prime
importance that we who are at col-
lege now, and who in a short time will
be in a position to assume the respon-
sibility that alumnae-hood entails,
should know something about what
the alumnae.do, and how varied and
interesting is their work, as well as
how keen they are to keep in touch
with the kaleidoscopic life at college:
Most of this information may be found
in the Alumnae Bulletin, but this pub-
lication is not so widely read by the
undergraduates as it might be.

The Council consists of seven dis-
trict councillors who are in charge
of the seven geographically divided
regions of the United States; the
President of the Alumnae Associa-
tion, Mrs. Herbert Lincoln Clark; the
Treasurer; the Chairman of the
Finance Committee and the Drive
Fund; the Chairman of the Fiftieth
Anniversary Fund, Mrs. Slade; chair-
men of the Scholarships and Loan
Fund’ Committee, the Academic Com-
mittee, the Committee on Health and
Physical ‘Education and the Nominat-
ing Committee; one representative

each from the senior class, the last:

graduated class, the graduate school,
the faculty and Board of Directors.

New Undergrad Head
Will be Inaugurated





According to the customary pro-
cedure, Miss Esther Hardenbergh,
37, president-eleet of the Undergrad-
uate Association, will be inaugurated
during the last part_of April. At
this time, she is to’ assume all of the
duties attached to her position. This
will lighten the full schedule of Miss
Eleanor Fabyan, the present head,
who is also chairman of the under-
graduate committee on May Day. The
latter will, however, retain this office
and no new arrangements will be
made in this connection.

The elections of Self-Government
and Undergraduate Assocfation pres-
idents have been held earlier than
usual this year, in order to give sen-
iors more free time before examina-
tions. '

In an effort to review the events
of the past year and to offer possible
suggestions to the new administra-
tion, the old and the new councils will

hold a joint meeting at the final ses-

sion of the year.

Evening Sandwich Sales
Raise Money for Camp



(Contributed by the Bryn Mawr
League.)

“Buy a sandwich?” How many
times has the question greeted you on
the Lib steps, around the campus, in
the halls? You have little doubt as
to the good the sandwich does you,
but do you know the vast good the
dime with which you purchase it does?
The sale of sandwiches is the most
active means of raising money for the
Bryn Mawr Camp at Avalon, New
Jersey. The dimes which you spend
for sandwiches, for square dances, for
informal plays, such as The Faculty
Rehearses for Cymbeline, for any
other lucrative activity sponsored by
the League, and for pledges, are used
to give a vacation at the shore to chil-
dren from the poorer districts of
Philadelphia. The pleasure you get
from these activities cannot be com-
pared with the joy given the children
in their two weeks’ vacation. For
some of these thin, pale-faced chil-
dren boarding the train for Avalon
even the train ride is a new experi-
ence. For some, the kind of food is
new. Most of them are amazed by
their first sight of the oeésh, but
-whether ‘hey encounter these as new
experiences or not’ they have an un-
forgettable vacation. From contacts

Memory Can Retain
_- I Inique But Loses
Similar Elements



Dr. Kohler Cites New Theory
As Result of Experiments
With Students



MEMORY TRACES SHOW
LINK WITH PHYSIOLOGY



Music Room, March 25.—The most
recent of psychological hypotheses
concerning the problems of memory
were set forth in a lecture this eve-

ning by Dr. Wolfgang Kéhler, of
Swarthmore College. “In all science,”
said Dr. Kohler, “there is a tendency,
if one theory is disproved, to swing
to an entirely opposite point of view.”
When the dependence of psychology
upon physiological concepts was shak-
en, all connection with physiology
was hastily dropped. When learning
and memory could no longer be used
to explain all sorts of phenomena,
they were at once regarded with sus-
picion; psychologists handled them
only with care. Yet it is possible that
all physiological data is not mislead-
ing, and that memory yet presents
a fruitful field for investigation.

Professor Ebbinghaus, a German
psychologist, discovered in 1890 that
it was feasible to investigate memory
experimentally on a basis of associa-
tion by contiguity. Since he wished to
observe the original building up of
associations, he could not experiment
with objects already known to the
men he was examining. Instead, he
concocted a series of nonsense sylla-
bles which he gave in numbers of
fifty or sixty to his subjects to learn
by heart. The process of learning
was remarkably slow; the events of
one day could be told the next by his
subjects without difficulty, but the
nonsense syllables could not be re-
peated until after many presentations
of them. Thus Professor Ebbinghaus’
theory seemed to fail, yet actually it
is not all invalid. By the methods of
investigation which he chose and by
his emphasis on contiguity, he was
destroying the real forces of associa-
tion, but his fault did not disprove
association itself.

By a different sort of experiment,
Dr. Kohler discovered Professor Eb-
binhaus’ trouble. Writing down in a
column a series consisting of a word,
three numbers of two places, a non-

Three Political Bodies
Flourishing on Campus





Two of the three recently organized
campus political or semi-political or-
ganizations have already gained sub-
stantial membership lists, and al-
though no word has been obtained re-
cently from the campus chapter of the
Liberty League, current conversation
at the College Inn and in the halls
indicates that this body also has been
attracting student attention.

Naomi Coplin, ’38, secretary of the
Bryn Mawr College Chapter of the
American Student Union, announced
that the organization now includes
thirty-three members, both under-
graduate and graduate, on_ this
campus. Their activity at present
consists of the perfecting of plans to
cooperate with the International Re-
lations Club in the forthcoming peace
demonstration in Philadelphia.

The Home Fire Division of the Vet-
erans of Future Wars, announced |
through the post commander, Eileen
Sigler, ’37, that although the drive
for membership has just begun to get
under way, thirty Bryn Mawr stu-
dents have already received their
cards of membership. In a bulletin
which Miss Sigler received early this
week, the National Headquarters of
the organization announced that the
number of posts throughout the coun-
try had reached 200 by April 3, and
that they were increasing at the rate
of from ten to twenty a day. A lobby
is being formed in Washington, and a
March of Time newsreel and a debate
with the Veterans of Foreign Wars
are being arranged by the executive
officers of the national organization.

They Shall Not Pass

The year of Bryn Mawr’s great celebration and congratulation is
almost over, the time of faculty appointments is at hand, and with these
"events certain very definite elements of student opinion should be voiced. The
college has this year surveyed its distinguished, record and has found there
place for just pride in achievement in education and scholarship. In great
part these attainments have been found to be the outcome of the brilliance
which was invariably the kernel of the teaching here. Where stereotyped
outlines of study may have satisfied students elsewhere, Bryn Mawr women
have demanded inspiring guidance into the most engrossing and difficult
aspects of every subject. Students chose Bryn Mawr above other colleges
because they knew that here they would receive thorough enthusiasm for fine
work. In this they were not as a rule disappointed and from this grew Bryn
Mawr’s eminence as a college.

The faculty here has included many famous names, but it has also been
composed primarily of fine scholars who, possessed the uncommon ability to
communicate their own deep pleasure in the subject’to their listeners. Even
in first year courses, professors here have so aroused the interest of their
students that the impulse to further and often fruitful individual effort could
not be resisted. As a result the average student as well as the strange and
exceptional genius has found the lasting satisfaction in penetrating study
which distinguishes Bryn Mawr alumnae.

As the college turns to face a new half-century of enterprise, it faces
a problem. Many of these exceptional teachers have departed to more
remunerative positions, but many so loved Bryn Mawr that they remained.
This year, however, finds one retiring, next year will see another leave, and

within six or seven years most of the present leaders will have left us. Many
others have left before retirement although not wishing it so, and many in
recent years have not come at all.

To those of the present undergraduates who came, like their predeces-
sors, seeking inspiration as well as hard work, the fact that the universal
quality of teaching has not been in all cases and may not continue to be of
the same sharp tenor, causes earnest concern. We do not plan to send
our daughters here because of mere sentimental reasons, but because we
believe it Bryn Mawr’s peculiar province to provide unusual guidance in
serious study. What our predecessors in large numbers found, what we
have sought and occasionally found, we ask for those who follow. Anxious
for ourselves and for the future, we ask that brilliance and forceful leader-
ship continue to be the heart and the pride of teaching at Bryn Mawr.



Constitutional Mothers. ~

The Home Fire Division of the Veterans of Future Wars recently
founded here is an excellent organization and one which is finding whole-
hearted support. It seems only fair that mothers of future heroes should

~receive trips to Europe to visit the unexcavated graves of their unborn sons:

that in itself is a reasonable proposition, but it doesn’t go far enough. We
feel that it should include something more, and that that something should
be the Teachers’ Oath. See

Why should teachers, after all, have the sole opportunity of swearing
allegiance to the Constitution? All Americans, but most particularly future
mothers of future veterans, should be accorded the same privilege. Before
they embark for Europe to gaze on landscapes soon.to be dotted with shell
holes, they should take the pledge, once for themselves, once for their as yet
unacquired and soon-to-be-dead husbands, ahd once for every unborn son.
In addition, a promsie should be extracted from the willing Home Fire
Division to see that the words of the pledge are the first words to be learned

_by the future veterans. In this, too, the country could be certain that in the
future, at least, its war veterans would know the meaning of allegiance.

Only if this pledge, which will then not be confined to one isolated and
honored group, is given a definite place in the platform of the future
mothers, will the movement be rounded-out and completely worthy of Amer-

_ ica, whose present claim to democracy is denied by restriction of the pledge
privilege. “America for Americans and the Teachers’ Oath for “All!” is a







Current Events

(Gleaned from Dr. Fenwick’s Talk)

The tragedy of the Hauptmann trial
brings up*two phases, of criminal jus-
tice—jury trial and the death penalty.
If there were no death penalty in
New Jersey, there certainly»-ould
have been no controversy about a ver-
dict. If new evidence is later uncov-
ered, a life prisoner can, be released,
but a death penalty is final and
definitive.

The tax bill on the undivided sur-
plus of corporations is not such a
stroke of genius as it was first
thought. The technical objection is
summarized in this potent question—
would a surplus saved by a corpora-
tion to build additional wings to its.
establishment be taxable? on

Mr. Hoover in his address of las
Saturday night envisaged economical
changes as an inexorable cycle. He
stated that the depression had hit
rock-bottom at the time of the Roose-
velt election, and that the fact that
the stock market shows recovery
merely proves that the country was
improving anyway. The argument is
interesting, but Mr. Hoover nurses a
vague hope for nomination.

The congressional committee in its
investigation of the Townsend Plan,
has found that $952,000 was paid into
the OARP—Old Age Revolving Pen-
sion—by small contributions of elderly
‘people. The question of how to raise
the monthly gifts of $200 has caused
a rift between Dr. Townsend and his
partner, Mr. Clements. One sugges-
tion is a sales tax, and the other is a
heavy income tax.

Foreign affairs are quiet. Hitler
has won a ninety-nine per cent vote and
the fact that only one name appeared
on the ballot was irrelevant. Prince
Rupprecht, one of the ablest princes
of the old German empire, refused to
go to the polls and so far nothing has
been done about it.

Louis Fisher discusses the economic



plight of Germany in the New States-

man and Nation. Prosperity now ex-
ists in big business because of the de-
mand on steel instruments for arma-
ments, but the standards of the masses
are low.

Germany,.it is worthy to note, has
not made any references to her de-
signs inthe East, although she -has
asserted her intentions in respect to
Belgium and France. Von Ribben-
trop has stated that Germany will not
accede to the points of settlement of-
fered her, and Hitler has refused to
make -concilatory concessions.

Great Britain is trying to avoid all
commitments and does not wish war.
The middle class and old liberals are
pro-German, but the Labor Party is
for the League and sanctions against
Germany.

The disarmament conference is a
failure in respect to making any
actual disarmaments, and once more
proves that no disarmament is pos-
sible without collective security. The
tonnage of various naval vessels has
been agreed upon, but the amount of
construction is unlimited, oddly
enough.

The French threaten to withdraw
their cooperation on the Italian ques-
tion if nothing is done about Germany,
and it must be admitted that Italy has
violated international law in its bom-
bardment of undefended cities. This
bombardment from the air will de-
moralize the Ethiopian army.



Campus Notes

Professor. David has announced the
publication of De Expugnatione
Lyxbonensi:. The Conquest of Lisbon,
by the Columbia University Press,
Records of Civilization Series. The
book will appear on April 10. Pro-
fessor David has edited the Latin text
and written a parallel English trans-
lation and introduction. The text was
prepared from the unique manuscript
in the library of Corpus Christi Col-
lege, Cambridge. The introduction
and notes tell all that can now be
known about the author and manu-
script.

The Latin text is an account by a
participant of a maritime crusade
which in 1147, during the Second Cru-
sade, sailed from lower Germany, the
Low Countries, and the East and
South of England and joined the
Portuguese in the conquest of Lisbon
while on its way to the Holy ‘Land.

Mrs. Smith was radiantly happy.
She immediately entered her son on
the rolls of his father’s public school,
Rugby,.and also Sandhurst. She,was
determined that he would follow in the
footsteps of the Smith family. The
nurse which she engaged for the child
had come to the Smith family when
Jeffry was a toddler; her name was
Mrs. Augusta Foote, but little Algae,
who .couldn’t speak very plainly at
first, always called her Tootsie.

One winter, Leftenant The Hon-
orable J. L. R. Smith was promoted,
and took leave to return to Bucks to
see his family. Mrs. Smith had quite
recovered her health by this time and
grown into a fine, strapping woman,
so the Leftenant determined to initi-
ate his son into army life by taking
the family to India. Old Tootsie Foote
packed up the lad’s white sailor suits,
and his rough tweed reefer, and his
little (Campbell of Argyle) kilts and
his tiny bronze button-boots in his
little portmanteau. Mrs. Smith slipped
up to London and bought them all
pith helmets. When all was ready
they left the sleepy little town of
Scuffle-on-the-Bustle lying behind them
them in the placid English sunshine,
and set out for Liverpool.

Little Algae, who was only ten, had
never seen the ocean before. ‘What
is all this water?” he asked the faith-
ful old Tootsie. The latter wiped
away a tear as she took a last look
at the chalk cliffs of Dover, “Hush,
bairnie,” she whispered, “it’s a tidal
estuary.”

GREEN GLOOM

Let me warn you in advance
I was not cut out to dance (folk).

When I am a one

It isn’t any fun.

I huff and I puff

I haven’t wind enough.

And when I am a two
I stand and sadly stew
On the way I’ll feel tomorrow
Stiff as h—. Life’s full of sorrow!

I turn single and I skip

And do siding—just a bit;
But it don’t mean a thing
I ain’t got no “SPRING”!

I’m no Elizabethan

You can tell it by my bounce.
And in spite of all my efforts

I haven’t lost an ounce! \



FRANCESCA’S FALL

“Oh Francesca was a freshman,

And all the woe of Hell was hers.
She entered college in a May Day year.

She wound crepe-paper flowers,

Walked .on stilts ’neath Taylor’s
towers,

And gathered peascods nightly in the
Gym.

She consulted about oxen,
Dropped votes into a box d
Soon her mind became a trifle dim.

It wasn’t long, poor girl,
(And can you blame her?)
Until the dizzy swirk
Completely overcame her.

She broke beneath the strain,
Got carried in a train

To Arizon - er, '

Where she lies upon a cot,

And her parents sore distraught
Bemoan her.

But she at last is glad,
No more shall she go mad
At ‘winding wire higher on the stem.’

She is released.

The woe has ceased.

She is deceased.

If you work hard enough it may hap-
pen to YOU.

Cheerio, :
THE MAD HATTER.

May Day Oxen Found,

~ Director Announces



Farm and Home Hour Broadcast
Reveals Situation of Oxen
in United States

LETTERS ENTERTAINING





The May Day Director is happier
than she can say to announce that two
white oxen are coming to May Day
from Massachusetts. No decision has
been reached as to whether there will
be two or four oxen, the difficulty
being the matching of two glifferent
yokes. e.

The Oxen Situation in America, as
shown by responses from the National
Farm and Home Hour Broadcast, ad-
vertisements in farm journals and in-
quiries made through dealers and
agents in rural districts, is as follows:
There are oxen, and white ones, all
the way from Nova Scotia to Louisi-
ana, from New England to North
Dakota. Some of them are really
snow white, some of them are spotted,
some of them are fat, but most of
them are lean and hungry looking.
They come with and without horns,
with and without barn itch. And, de-
pending on where they. come from,
they walk, they ride by train, they
sail by boat.

With the letters coming in rapidly
from oxen owners and dealers all over
the country, the May Day office fore
is becoming expert on oxen, their life
and manners. A dealer in Vermont
writes of his prize pair: “I have a
pair of oxen all white except a little
red on their cheek which could be
whitewashed. They are extra well
broken and I think would be reliable
in a strange place. I would suggest
that they be clipped to bring out the
collor good. They walk with their
heads up.”

A willing Vermonter writes to us:
“I saw your ad. in N. E. Homestead.
I can furnish four white oxen for
your May Day Celebration. How
much is it worth to you people? I
will come for so much money or ‘so
much and expences. Please let me
here from you.”

Some of the best specimens of oxen
are all set for dress parade. One
pair “have been in two, praids, but
they are not all white.” Another pair
of oxen “are extra wellmated and are
very showy in appearance. During
the last three years they have been in
the show ring at our local fairs and
exposition and on every showing have
taken the blue_ribbon. I think our
collection of blue ribbons speaks for
themselves.”

Kansas oxen’ are superior, accord-
ing to. the wire that came through
from the NBC office in New York:
“These four oxen are snow white and
well matched as they were raised and
broken together and are very well
trained as they were started to work
when calves. They have been used
in several parades and old settlers’
reunion day celebrations. The driver
is an old timer in Kansas and has had
considerable experience’ with oxen and
livestock. ,He was also engaged in
freighting with teams in the frontier
west.” re

One writes of his “pure white cat-
tle’: “I have two pair one a young
team and other a large team, both are
pure white. Would like to know
whether you are interested in either
pair and what you would be willing
to pay a person to bring them there
for the occasion,” with a postscript,
“My oxen are Snow White.”

tional Academy of Science awarded

Gymnasium, March 24, —’ Unan-

fortunate few, the “men faculty suc-
cumbed to the relentless onslaught of
the Bryn Mawr Hospital internes
Tuesday night. The gym‘echoed and
re-échoed. with yells, squeals and
cheers from both sides of the gallery,
where a_ small but enthusiastic
crowd, composed mostly of nurses,
watched the great battle of the sea-
son.

Center Wallace, of the internes,
some six feet in height, was the main
attraction of the evening, for the fac-
ulty groaned as he walked on the
court and one of them remarked:
“That big center’s here again. Watch
him—he can really play the game.”
We watched and were amazed until
we learned from an ardent rooter that
he had played four years of profes-
sional basketball before. taking up
medicine.

In the first half the faculty were
much too polite. They were afraid
to ruffle the formidable foe. Hope
was dead at the end of the half, be-
cause Dr. Nahm had failed to show
his spirit and Dr. Anderson was
lost’ without his co-partner. Wallace
could do anything he wanted when he
wanted, and his teammates had no
difficulty in getting free for the short,
quick passes that were constantly fired
at them.

Meanwhile the gallery was going

mad with enthusiasm, The intermis-
sion was one long series of yells. The
faculty absorbed the vitality of their
loyal supporters and started off the
second half with a rush to the goal
that left the internes flat on their
feet, gaping at Dr. Nahm and Dr.
Broughton as they tallied four points
in. the first two minutes of play.
There was a lull after the storm, but
Dr. Anderson soon followed the ex-
ample of his teammates.
: The faculty reached their zenith in
the third quarter when they trailed
their opponents by only one point.
Quick and alive, they were no longer
afraid of ruffling the internes,

Both teams ran rampant in the last
quarter. Dr. Blanchard and Dr.
Anderson instigated frequent but
harmless tussles which usually ended
in a heap on the floor. The faculty
rallied in the last few minutes,’ but
not enough to overcome the deficit in
the score, which was 24-19 in favor
of the internes when the final whistle
blew, in spite of the hoarse pleadings
of the onlookers who had rooted so
patiently for their professors.

Dr. Kohler Cites New
Theories of Memory



Continued from Page One :

sense syllable, a number of two places,
a consonant, and a nonsense figure,
and then writing a ‘series composed
of similar elements in the same order
beside the first, Dr. Kohler showed
these columns to his class a few times
and then asked the students to recall
them. The four pairs which occurred
only once were remembered accu-
rately in three hundred and _ninety-
nine cases; the four homogeneous pairs
of numbers were remembered by but
seventy-five. From stch results, it
was evident that an accumulation of
material of the same kind, which was |
what Ebbinghaus had used, worked
against association..

Since a possible objection to this
theory. existed in the assertion that
the different terms of the series were
of a kind more easily memorized in
any case than were the like terms—
the numerical figures, Dr. Kohler de-
vised many more experiments in
which the homogeneous members of
the group were now words, now syl-
lables, now letters, and now nonsense
figures. No matter how the elements
were arranged, the outcome was al-
ways the same: the pairs represented

!lables, which had occurred only six
times; the recollection was correct in
fifty per cent of the cases; of the
letters, which had, been given but
twice, the recall was accurate in
ninety per cent of the cases. When
in another experiment, the relative
amounts of letters and syllables were
reversed, the result pointed to the
same conclusion: the unique is re-
membered more easily than are sim-
ilar objects, and this law of organiza-
tion holds in the field of memory as
well as in perception.

A closer relation of physiology to
psychology’ than this mere corres-
pondence of memory and perception is
apparent in the problem of memory
traces. In 1898 a German psycholo-
gist noticed that if a certain process
has occurred in a definite part of the
nervous system, the same process may
later be given to another part of the
system, and it will be recognized. He
concluded accordingly that no defi-
nitely localized memory traces existed.
Because several other psychologists
did not agree, they began to experi-
ment on rats and their reaction to
light. They trained the animals to
react positively to a bright glow, and
negatively to a dull illumination. As
soon as the habit was well fixed, the
rats were operated on, and their vis-

ual cortex was removed. From this/’



many times could not be recalled,
while the pairs represented once were
immediately recollected. Whenever, |
therefore, a group is brought together !
in a monotonous series, association is
stopped by opposite tendencies.

Yet a further objection lies in the
fact that this rule of memory is like-
wise true of perception. From among
an assemblage of like objects, one
that is unique stands out while the
others are absorbed in a dull oblivious
confusion. Consequently, the exist-
ence of the principle in memory may
be dependent upon perception. When
only the outstanding can be perceived,
obviously only the outstanding: can
be recalled.. ~If memory were ob-
served by itself, however, like and un-
like might have an equal hold upon
it.
To obviate this criticism, Dr. Koéh-
ler devised another experiment. Dur-
ing one of his lectures, he interrupted
himself to read a. list of four num-
bers and one syllable which his stu-
dents wrote down as soon as he had
finished reading. Then he resumed
his lecture, but at the end of ten.
minutes he gave his class another
series of four numbers and a syllable.
After still another ten minutes, he
stopped for another group, this time
composed of four numbers and a let-
ter. In this way he continued until
he had read eight series, in each of
which there were four numbers, in
six of which there was one syllable,
and in two of which there was one
letter. Although the. entire series
was usually taken down accurately,
what mistakes there were occurred in
the homogeneous terms, not in the
syllables or letters. The clarity of
perception of the syllables and letters
was then manifestly equal.

But now the class awas asked to
write all it could recall of the entire
group of series. Of the numbers, the

operation they recovered, and they
also recovered their sight in some de-
gree. Their habit, nevertheless, was
lost; the memory traces had been re-
moved in the visual cortex. Only
after renewed training did the crea-
tures learn to discriminate between
bright and dull light by the formation
of memory traces in another part of
the cortex.

In men and women, millions upon
millions of memory traces. must ex-
ist, however this existence may be
possible; they must exist in constant
readiness to be recalled to present
experience. They are not, though,
definite and rigid physiological paths;
they are variable and dependent upon
selection of similarity. That the mere
likeness of a present object to one of
these multitudinous storehouses of the
past should be able to bring it back
to consciousness seems indeed remark-
able. Yet the same phenomenon oc-
curs every day in perception, where
similar things tend to go together. If
the like things are by themselves, we
see them in a group, not separately,
just as we see parallel lines. When
unlike objects intervene, there still
remains a marked tendency to select
the similar, to see them as related in
spite of obstacles between them. If
the obstacles, however, were changed
into things of the same kind as those
they were separating, the separated
would no longer be distinct. They
would be lost in homogeneity. Psy-
chological tests reveal the same situa-
tion in memory. When two groups of
students taking intelligence tests are
shown a simple arithmetical rule, the
group that continues to do . varied
arithmetic problems forgets the rule
when a new occasion for it arises.
But the group that switches to other
tasks, then returns to a question de-
manding the employment of the rule,
recollects this rule and uses it. Sim-



recollection was negligible; of the syl-

ilarity, then, is a principle of associa-

Student Finds Work
Of Alumnae Exciting



Continued from Page One

the number and enthusiasm of its
alumnae, who are hostesses to the
Council during its stay.

Business consists of the discussion
of the financial problems of the asso-
ciation, and, this year most important
of all, the report of the Drive Fund.
If you will remember the thrill you
‘had upon hearing, during the Fiftieth
Anniversary Celebration, that we had
then $750,000, you can imagine the
excitement when Mrs. Slade . an-
nounced the total of $919,289, and
when, on the following day, $1200 was
added to that amount. It was most
interesting to see the comparison be-
tween the sums of money raised by
the association for scholarships and
previous drives in five-year periods,

a chart made by the Treasurer. The

needs have increased with the years,

but the capacity for meeting those

needs seems to have increased even
ore.

’ On the following day the reports of
the District Councillors were heard, of
their means of raising money, both for
the Drive and for Scholarships, and
of the success they had had. In some
cases the districts are so large, com-
prising many states, that the can-
vassing has to be done by cor-
respondence only and meant a great
deal of work for the councillor. Some
of the accounts were very amusing in
their description of bazaars, plays and
entertainments given to raise money.

that has been roused in Bryn Mawr
as a result, particularly among schools

tion and of memory, but it works |

All were concerned: with the interest |



in the South and Middle West. There
followed the reports from the Stand- |
ing Committee telling of more detailed |
work behind the scenes, so to speak, |
of the great industry which is send-
ing girls to college whom the college
needs and who might otherwise be
unable to come; and through the Loan
Fund, keeping girls there who might
otherwise be unable to stay.

A dinner for all the Council mem-
bers and alumnae of ‘District VI, in
honor of Miss Park, was scheduled for
7.30 on Sunday, March 22. We heard,
to our chagrin, that the trains coming
west were delayed seven or eight hours
and racked our brains for some form
entertainment that could be inade-
quately substituted for Miss Park’s
absence. A delightful dinner was pro-
gressing amid the hum of conversa-
tion of some forty-five Bryn Mawrters,
when at about ten o’clock, through
fire and flood, Miss Park arrived and
the hum gave way to. cheering and
applause. She showed slides, many of
which were in the Fiftieth Anni-
versary program, and regaled the as-
sembled company with anecdotes and
historical accounts. While some of
the pictures of the college looked
familiar to us, the earlier photo-
graphs, before the existence of the
present Gymnasium, Deanery and



Library, represented “college” to many
of the illustrious group!

On Monday morning the last meet-
ing took place. The heavy business
of the Council was completed and
there remained only the talks on
Phases of the College. Betty Faeth,
35, spoke about the College Council,
expressing very clearly its functions
and relations to the rest: of the col-
lege and its importance in the mechan-
ism of college activity. Her speech
may be found in the Alumnae Bulletin
and is to be highly recommended. Fol-
lowing. this was a talk, of rather in-
formal nature, on the current year. at
college—our enterprises on behalf of
the Drive, news from the Athletic As-
sociation, the projects of the Bryn
Mawr League, the entertainments, the
work of the Varsity Players, the news
of Big May Day—giving as nearly as
possible a characteristic cross section
of the year. Mrs. William Roy Smith,
representing the Faculty, gave a very
interesting and amusing talk, includ-
ing the inside story of the compre-
hensives, the archaeological excava-
tion and some discussion of the
Alumnae Council. The problems of
the graduate student were reviewed

by Miss Guthrie, Ph. D., 1922, and an.

account of the work of the Board of
Directors was given by Mrs. Maclay,
who was the Queen Elizabeth of the
1928 May Day.

The Council adjourned after a trib-
ute of silence to M. Carey Thomas,
and there was again a great hum of
conversation. It was extremely stimu-
lating to realize what live wires these
alumnae are, and the big things they
are accomplishing. When they leave
college they have not severed all con-
nections; they are tremendously inter-
ested to keep up with us; it is as
much their college as it is ours, if
not more, because, having worked in
it, they are now working for it and
making and keeping it the college we
are proud of. I don’t wish to strike
a note of sentiment here, but I do
want to draw your attention to the ex-
istence, the enthusiasm and the co-
operation of the Alumnae Association.

SPEAKER AT FELLOWSHIP | ; fundamental saclleis: but deal with

DINNER STATES VIEWS



Requests have come to the News for
a fuller report upon the annual fel-
\lowship dinner for Miss Dorothy Anne
Buchanan on Friday, March 20. The
News apologizes for its failure to
print.a detailed account of one of the
most important graduate events of
the year and hastens to present an
abbreviated text of the speech which
Dr. Paul Weiss delivered at that time.

In reference to the subject of Miss
Buchanan’s thesis Dr. Weiss declared
that he was about to launch’ a new
kind of Lover’8 Complaint. “I am’
going to talk on what is wrong -with
the education of women, and my an-
swer briefly put is: women.” There
seems to be little doubt that women
undergraduates are‘far abler than
men, as many a professor here, who
has previously taught at a men’s col-
lege, will testify. But women suffer
from their virtues and are good in
every subject. The result is a broad
view, a balance, but a lack of the
fundamental drive which makes one
master of a special field. The stu-
dent who considers everyone unac-
quainted with French philology a fool
and has canalized her great ability
into a special field may not be the
ideal conversationalist and compan-
ion today, but twenty years from now
she may be one at whose feet to sit.

The fundamental fault with women
graduate students is their timidity.
They must be coaxed into the work
with scholarships. The theses of
these able women rarely seize some

——



;are exceptions to all these remarks,



peripheral ‘Another in-
‘stance of this timidity is that women

on the—average take three or four;

questions.

years longer than men to secure their
doctorates, in order to make them-
selves perfect in that which is a
means and not an end, “I have no
btatistics and I speyk only within my
wn field, but I have seen women tak-
ng five or six years for their doctor-
ate and, in doing this, spend the best
part of their lives under the subtle
dominance of their professors. There
is a sense in which one never thinks
_for oneself until relieved from the
pressure of superior erudition and
position.”

The fortunate and po de-
serving student wins a European fel-
lowship. Instead of using it as an
opportunity to travel about with stu-
dents and participate in the activities
of ‘learned societies, there is a tem
dency for the fellow to immolate her-
self in academic halls and defer a
little longer the time when she will
think for herself. When she returns
she usually does not seek a post com-
mensurate with her abilities and when
she finally attains a position of influ-
ence, she herself tends to employ in-
ferior men to superior women. There

and this is merely a general impres-
sion. This liberal college boasts as
many women as men professors, but
this distribution is obtained by hav-
ing. a large proportion of women in
the lower ranks. Why is~it that men
who have not yet their doctorates or

or associate professorships, while
women of outstanding excellence ex-
pect readerships? Perhaps this is
best summarized in a translation from

hard to be a woman; all one needs
is to be ten times better than a man.”

Camels have upon digestion. Camels

NEW SELF-GOV HEAD
COMES FROM MADEIRA



(Interview with new President of
Self-Government.)

April 6.—Back in the dim dark ages
Barbara Colbron,~- the -recently-elected
President of Self-Government, ac-
quired a nickname which has clung
to her ever since. It seems she was
so small when, she was ‘born (she
weighed al! of four and a _ half
pounds) that her family called her
“Weenie.” This insignificant begin-
ning in New Canaan, Connecticut,
however, did not daunt her in the
least.

Her career began when she held
the office of President of Self-Gov-
ernment for two successive years at
the Madeira School. Since then she
has risen to great heightss she has
been in the Glee Club,“a member of
the Choir and on t elf-Government





Board since fresihman-year. She re-
i oe
cent ttained the peak: of success

when She got the part of God in “The
Creation” in Big May Day. She is

undecided about what she will do after |

she graduates from college.

She is quite. enthusiastic about,
sports, but has been hampered by a
bad knee that insists upon “acting
up” at the most inconvenient mo-



ments.

New Canaan seems to be the jump-,
ing-off place for many a promising
career: it brought forth also Marian
Bridgman, the retiring President of
Self-Government. A case of “local
girls make good.”



Vigorous Writing
Highly Commended





Continued from Page One

that a better case could be made for
the style and the human appeal of
some of these authors than has been
made in the Lantern article. Has
none of them the same story interest
which has kept Uncle Tom’s Cabin
alive for generations of children who
knew not slavery, or the same drama-
tic appeal which has made the plays
of Shaw popular with audiences which
would by a rising vote reject his
Fabian principles? If so, why not
state the fact convincinglysé that
more of us may be enticed into read-
ing the books,‘not merely for our
souls’ welfare, but because they are
good reading?

This same issue as to whether or
not narrative pieces should be inter-
esting and exciting as well as achiev-
ing some nobler end might be raised
with regard to the four short stories
printed in this month’s Lantern. Short
stories in the present day divide
themselves neatly into two groups. A
never ending stream pours. out
through the channels of the Saturday
Evening Post, Collier’s, and other
popular magazines, the best of which
have a kind of mechanical brightness
and effectiveness due to a well con-
structed but often hackneyed plot
which may or may not lead up to a
novel conclusion. The effectiveness
of such stories depends largely on
how far novelty is achieved, and the
whole mechanics of the structure re-
quires an element of real suspense.
On the other hand, there is another
group of short story writers who de-
liberately scorn the devices which are
as old as Aesop and attempt to pro-
duce their effect by skillful charac-
terization and description or by re-
solving the discords of some high emo-
tion. It is thé school of Chekhov and
Katherine Mansfield and a hundred
more recent writers, and one turns to
it with pleasure when the hackneyed
plot of the ever present “Boy meets
Girl” magazine story palls. All four
stories in this month’s Lantern belong
to the latter class and they illustrate
the dangers and difficulties of the
plotless story.. Miss Pringle is a
character sketch ofa middle-aged
music teacher, romantic at heart,
dwelling in the past, frightened by the
prospect of an. emotional experience
in the immediate future. The Day
of Faith describes the emotions of an
American wife married to Fascist



Italy of the last six months. The in-

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
HARDENBERGH’S AIM



(Interview with new President of
Undergrad.) ;

April 6.—Research work*in the field
of chemistry will undoubtedly benefit
in future years from the work of
Esther Hardenbergh, ’37, recently
elected President of the Undergradu-
ate Association. Miss Hardenbergh,
a resident of Minneapolis, Minnesota,
began her public career in the. Nor-
throp Collegiate School in Minneapolis,
where she held the office of President
of the League, which is equivalent to
our Self-Government. She thinks she
was President -of the Junior Class,
but she isn’t quite sure.

Selecting chemistry as her major
when she came to college, she has
branched out into many more varied
fields. She has maintained her status
in the public eye as President. of the
Junior Class at college.

She is a Merry Man in May Day.
Her activities in the sports world have
been limited to some extent. We hear
from outside sources that she is an
ardent skier. In fact, she came back
from vacation with several broken
bones to prove that she had been
skiing.

Esther is a link in a long chain

|of Bryn Mawrters: her mother is a

graduate, her older sister was in the
class of ’82, and a younger sister—
“Well, she’s old enough to make up
her own mind.”



tent of both is clear, and the writing

‘is at least good enough. Yet in each

case there is a feeling of disappoint-
ment as one reaches the conclusion
that the later pages have added so
little to the situation outlined in the
early paragraphs. Movement, sus-
pense, point, are somehow lacking;
and if they can be dispensed with by
a Chekhov (but can they?) then we
can only reach the sad conclusion that
Chekhovs are not common among our
writers today. The two other stories
are more successful and move bet-
ter to a climax. Yet the point never
comes out as clearly as one had hoped.
Had the artistically-minded lady in
Eulogy lost a lover or merely a good
and dependable friend? And why did
she care, since Phillip, when not eulo-
gizing his mother, seems rather a
stick? Was it the trust fund his
father had left, or had she a more
sentimental need of him? And in
Beach Day what does the dreamy lit-
tle boy so nearly caught by the tide
typify? A little more underlining, a
few mechanical devices might make
all the stories seem intrinsically more
important. Yet the description and
the characterization, especially in the
last two, are really vivid, and one is
grateful for the avoidance of the
more obvious situations, so overworked
in the popular magazines.

The Mexican sketch and the poetry
seem to the present reviewer the most
‘satisfactory part of the Lantern from

‘the point of view of interest and va-

riety. It should perhaps be explained
in a parenthesis that the said reviewer
is far too humble-minded to offer cri-
ticism of the poetry as literature. The
poem reprinted from the Summer
School magazine is in many ways a
better short story than any of the
ones already. reviewed. The Cavalier
poem by Miss Lyle and the Sonnet
by Miss Wyckoff both come off very
well and achieve a real freshness of
touch in treating by no means novel
subject matter. Of the two more
philosophical pieces Miss Manship’s
is certainly the easier to grasp, but
Miss Dimock’s would seem to be the
more important, once one has mast-
ered the meaning. The last poem,
Hirondelle, is the prettiest of any of
the verses in sound and color, but the
natural history seems to this reader
somewhat confused. The realism of
Spring by the Railroad is less poetic,
but perhaps better observed.

Lest this review should be taken as
over critical or condescending let me
close by commenting again on the
Lantern as a whole, which does seem
to me remarkable for the vigor and
variety. of the pieces printed and the
good writing, by which most of them
are characterized.
