to us almost simultaneeusly.

Not that it was any haphazard intro-

Dr. Shoemaker Speaks on
Christ’s Place in Life

The Rev. Samuel M.
Rector of Calvary Church, New York
Cit?, and leader. of the Buchmanite
movement in this country, conducted a
Sunday evening service in the Music
Room of Goodhart Half two weeks

meaning of Christ/in his “own life and
of the way in which Christ can. become
meaningful’ to one.

Christ first oft all -an historical
‘character, then a bridge between the
physical world and:the world of spirit,

Shoemaker believes in the divinity of
Christ ‘for three reasons:. His © con-

accomplishes . miracles today; He
thought Himself divine. Practically,
however, one comes to believe in the
divinity of Christ by trying to live. like
Him. First one must find someone
with belief, in contact with whom one
may learn of Christ, then it is neces-
sary to eliminate, from one’s life the

Unusually original and carefully
planned was the ship party which the
Class of 1933 gave to the Freshmen in
the gym last Friday night, December
5.. The guests, who arrived in nautical
costume at 8 o'clock, were directed
first to the basement to remove their
wraps. On emerging they struggled up
a real gangplank to be greeted by M.
Collier, president
Class, and B. Wood, chairman of the
party committee, with- their passports
(filled out dance programs). These
bote the-startled looking photographs
taken of ’32-in their, Freshman’ Week.
When all the guests had assembled in
the ‘hall, perched here and there amid

‘the graceful piles of brightly Jabeled

luggage, a~bottle of champagne ()
was given to M. Nichols, Freshman
class president, ‘with the request that
with it she christen the S. S.
she did: the bottle crashed against the
door; amber fluid flowed (into a waste
paper basket conveniently ‘at. hand);
the doors opened, the orchestra
played; the crowd rushed in, and the
ship started off on its cruise to Eng-
land, Russia, Germany, France, Italy,
Spain and then home again.

Happily the orchestra was an im-|

pressionable one; in Russia one might
dance to Russian tunes, in German to
German ones, and so on. Between stops
the passengers found much to amuse
them. On the way to England a grand
march was held to judge the various

Mr. Deeter Is Director

Haverford Cap and Bells and
Varsity Players Produce
Play Jointly.

REHEARSALS PROMISING

(Specially contributed by Ethel Chouteau
Dyer, -3l)

We are really. rather satisfied with
ourselves for causing so slight a. stir
of excitement in these erstwhile hectic
days immediately before a Varsity play,
We attribute it_somewhat-to the fol-
lowing causes. We are very fortu-
nate in having Mr. Deeter as ‘director,
which spares us an harassed collegian
bustling-all over the campus; the men
of the cast are quite permanently set-
tled in the dormitories of Haverford,
rather than. wandering homeless over
the cold stones of Goodhart late into
the night; each rehearsal stopped at a
properly early hour (though this is
written before Tuesday night), calcu-
lated to spare the Olympian temper.
All this is certainly to the credit of
the sobriety of the production—and
that very fitting to a Puritan play—but
somehow we feel guilty at having de-
prived the college—but letsus say the
undergraduates—of much of .the inter-
est that they are accustomed to expect
to centre about a Varsity Play. Per-
haps—we breathe a hope—we are los-
ing some of\ the glamour of the
amateur. >

iHavestord English
Club Gives ‘Hamlet’

Splendid Acting and Artistic Co-
operation Combined in
Performance.



B. M. ACTRESSES ARE ABLE

(Reprinted from the Haverford News)
The performance on Friday last. of
the first quarto version of “Hamlet,”
by. the English Club, assisted by two
able actresses from Bryn Mawr Col-
lege, was a unique event in Haverford
history. .The selection of this early
and somewhat nrelodramatic version of
the play\was a very happy stroke, for
it is short enough to be acted in two
‘hours and three-quarters, and just dif-
ferent enough from the latér version to
offer many points of unusual interest.

The evening performance especially
was successful to a degree that aston-
ished and delighted the large and en-
thusjastic audience. The Club was
fortunate in having four or five actors
and actresses of practically profes-
sional ability.. It was still more fortu-
nate in having Professor Reitzel and
Mr. Amerman, ’31, to direct/the per-
formance with such” skill that costum-
ing, grouping, and focus combined
repeatedly to bring. out the maximum
possible effect.

I do not name those whose “acting
was: especially rémarkable;“because the
excellence of the performance was due,
in the last analysis, to an amazingly
successful effort at co-operation by the
entire Club. It happens. all too often
in professional performances that jeal-
cousy, or lack of co-operation, or the
striking superiority of one star. over
the rest .of the company .prevents any
totality of artistie effect. And though
such is. not, of course, the case with
the Comedie Francaise, or the Irish
Players, it is almost invariably the out-
standing fault of the American “star=
strangled drama.”

_.In my own judgment, and in that
of many seasoned, theatregoers with
whom I have talked, the English Club

the discussion of the curriculum be

task very seriously and arranged for a
committee -which should consist of
pupils full of intelligence’ and love of
study, with a few normally unintelli-
gent undergraduates to balance them.
‘Then the comunittee proceeded to in-
terview all students who were in any
way dissatisfied with the existing sys-

report which represented considerable
time and labor-and made very little
constructive suggestions. However, it

But we are beginning to wonder if he is “set in his ways,”
' five-minute intervals are mysteriously disappearing from our campus life,

for entire

and those of us who attend chapel are fast losing our sense of time com-
pletely. We were amazed to discoyer that the trip from Taylor to Good-
hart at top speed took six minutes, and we were really baffled on learning
that Taylor Bell had stolen a two-minute march on Taylor Tower Clock

and that the clocks in the classrooms were ahead of that.

The maximum

discrepancy noted to date is six minutes, and as this is not enough to

make us late to class, we shall not agitate for reform.

Our chief cause

for woe lies in Taylor itself, where we lose three minutes by walking

through a door.

Theatre Notes

The Professional Players ha ve
scored again—this time with a trans-
lation from the Italian of Luigi Piran-
dello. One suspects the title, “As You
Desire Me,”

niore or less literally, but the play it-

of having been taken over

self has. no. particular’ nationality ~in

theme or exposition It is an idea, very

delicate and scarcely, tangible, which
finds its embodiment i the splendid,
completely satisfying person of Judith
Anderson. As an idea incarnate she is
the play, providing all of the convic-
tion, all of the strength, all of the
spirituality and all of the repose neces-
sary to~make comprehension of her
purpose possible. ’

A play written to convey a nielas
phys'cal idea is in constant danger of
losing .dramatic interest. through con-
stant emphasis on its intellectual sub-

leties. ‘‘As You Desire Me” escapes
such a criticism almost completély,
partly because of Miss: Anderson’s vi-

brant presence which succeeds in mak-
ing even the spirit alive and urgent,
and partly because of the restraint with
which Pirandello has handled*hiis sub-
ject. ‘The theme of the importance of

the theory that belief makes anything
so' that all preaching is eliminated, ex-
cept the classification of people as
“those who. believe’ and “those who
don't believe.” The second act cer-
tainly falls below the level of the other
two, since it is used to bring out facts
which could not be introduced in the
first act, and to begin a superfluous
subplot founded on legal complications.
But suspense as to-the-Selution of the

ptoblem of Lucia, the “Unknown
One,” and definite radiance in the
scenes in which she figures, survives

even this burden.
The first act is decided melodrama,
with..a.swinish villain, and a sensitive

war-t:me soldiery and is trying to ig-
nore her spiritual demands by a com-
pletely physical life. She is given the
opportunity to escape this life when
she is found by an artist who’ swears
he painted her before the war, and the
husband who has been searching ten
years for the Cia whom the war tore
from-him.—-The-second_act-is:only-im-
portant in the picture it presents of the
younger Cia whose potential‘ties the
“Unknown One” fulfills co:ipletely.
In spirit they are the same; “une femme
inconnue, qui n’est, chaque fois, ni tout
éifait 1a meme ni tout a fait une autre.”
The-artist Bofh, believes in the new
Cia as the perfect éxpressiofr of the
woman he created in his painting. The
husband is honestly tormented by
doubts of her identity when he is un-
able to discover a certain bodily mark.
- The last act finds Cia, who has suc-
ceeded in identifying herself spiritually
with Cia as a girl, and in molding her-
self as her husband remembers and de-
sires her, faced with the doubts of the
entire family. They are confronted
with a mad woman who might be Cia,
according to physical evidence, The
splendid soul of Cia in the ‘Unknown
One” cannot make itself wheh
there is doubt as to her. physical iden-
tity. Refused unquestioning belief, the
“Unknown One” departs.

The question of identity may inspire
argument;
when considered in its relation to the
idea behind the play. Whether Cia or
not the “Unknown One” must have
acted as she did when her belief in the
power of human desife and the impor-
tance of the spirit was contradicted by

seen

had formed herself.

- The theme and Judith Anderson are
one. It is useless to criticize a sup-
porting cast whose function, by the de-
mands of the play, is a negative one.
“here were times, to be-sure, when
Charles Dalton’s Carl Salter seemed
more awkward and uneasy than gfoss.
Perhaps the doubting husband, played

by Charles Trowbridge, lacked any
real definition. Certain Jose Ruben,
as Boff, was charming and sympa-

thetic in several of his scenes. . These
things convey no lasting impression.
But the brilliance of Judith Anderson’s
performance, and the spiritual signifi-

cance of the ideas which find expres-

V.°Vanderbeck, at center forward,

the movements of her team. . Several
times, ordering her forward line out in
front of her, she took the ball well
down ‘the field, dodging oncoming op-
ponents, and then passed accurately
and hard to the forwards who put the
ball in.

Messrs. Mayer and Maeterlinck were
greatly aided by Mr. Alwyne’s orches-

tration, which provided not only a firm

support for the voice, but also a good

the shimmering violins which accom-
panied “Elle destendit vers l’inconnue.”

The concluding number ofthe pro-

if one likes’ Tschaikowsky. At least
we were spared those “shatteritig’ cli-

the enforced absence of the said instru-

Academic Routine
Outlined at Dinner

Miss Park Regales Bryn ‘Maw
Alumnae With Comments on
Faculty’ and Students.









CURRICULUM EXPLAINED



On- November 25 Miss Park came
on for the great annual festa of the
Bryn Mawr. Club of New York, the
President’s dinner. The club house
was, “as usual, filled to capacity with
New York alumnae. Declaring herself
restored and rejoiced by -her year
abroad she promised to tell us of what
was vivid, stimulating, and creative in
the atmosphere of the Bryn Mawr she
had come back to, that’more than com-
pensated’ her for the loss of the camels
and edelweiss, and various delights and
adventures of travel.

‘The core of the college, said Miss
Park, is its academic routine. If all
goes well with it, the rest of the college
is relatively unimportant, if badly, no
matter what the superficial aspects of
the college may seem, the result is dis-
astrous. This academic~—routine ~di-
vides into three headings: faculty, cur-
riculum and students.

The faculty (not including demon-
strators, readoes, etc.) numbers at
present about fifty-four. Of these
about-half are men; and, with a differ-
ent division, about half full professors.
A full professor, we were reminded,
has a permanent: tenure uritil the re-
tiring. age of 65, after which he or she
is pensioned. This security of tenure
is really a genuine part of the salary
itself. Miss Park assured us that in
calibre our faculty was not falling be-

‘flow the giants of former days, many.

of . whom’ became famous only after

leaving Bryn Mawr. The sons of

Bryn Mawr are as widely scattered as

the daughters. This year several of
the men’s universities have called some
of our rising’ young associate profes-
sors to feed their departments at
greatly increased salaries. For the
men positions in all the colleges are
available. The field open to women is
still only in women’s colleges, where
we can compete with the best, not only
because we pay slightly higher salaries
than the other women’s colleges, but
because we are the only college to
offer graduate work to women of the
faculty. The opportunity for graduate
work, which can be had elsewhere only
at the big men’s universities, is the
lure with which we are able to secure
the brilliant young men, who, inevit-
ably as they must be called from us as
they mature, may yet pass some of
their best teaching years at Bryn
Mawr. Miss Park then outlined the
present-scale of salaries at-Bryn Mawr.
Although the smaller undergraduate
men’s colleges such as Dartmouth and
Haverford, which pay a somewhat
higher salary average than Bryn Mawr
can draw some of our faculty, Bryn
Mawr has some compensating advan-
tages; but our great rivals are the big
universities, whose instruction we must
match; and. whose salaries are beyond
our powers to compete with. There is
an appalling difference in the pay of the
teachers of the boys and girls in the
same family. We should, however, un-
der favorable auspices, be able to call

an associate professor from a men’s

university. to_our full professorship.

Havitig held out hopes of catching
these master minds of the future, if
only for a transitory stay,’Miss Park
then plunged us into despair with pic-
tures -of the housing: cones of the

prices to the age of sixty-five, which
Miss Park told us, is a relatively early
retiring age, and a consideration in
connection with the small salary and
pension,

The second heading of Miss Park's
speech was the curriculum, in which
she told us there had been but one
change between 1898, when she gradu-
ated, and 1922, when she became presi-
dent. She outlined the old curriculum,
in which there’ were 120 hours’ work,
one half of which was in required sub-
jects, and one-sixth of the whole four
years for elective subjects. The dou-
ble majors dominated every choice of
courses.
elastic curriculum was not very suc-
cessful; but had one good point, the
single major or field, which led to-

wards: honors--work; but, with the re=~_
quired work, allowed insufficient time .

for it. The arrangement of the re-
quired work led to endless discussion
and chaos, which reigned for over two
years: Miss Park told us about the
Curriculum..Conunittee of. faculty. and
students which was called by Dean
Manning last year, just before Miss
Park left, and declared -that as a re-

sult of their work she had.come back _

to a’ néw world. She explained the
new unit system which has been the
result of the proposals of the student
Curriculum Committee, and taking the
place of the old hour system, gives
students a charice to specialize without
being lost in’a maze of small subjects.
It is the most elastic curriculum ever
offered at Bryn Mawr. The required
subjects.quust next be settled, and are

all has been the assistance given the
family of the disabled man in the ad-
justment of all kinds of home situations
and difficulties, ,problems of health,
financial emergencies and various anx-
‘ieties—all of which, the hospital physi-
cians state,-has helped greatly in re-
lieving the mental condition of. the ill
veteran and quickening his rehabilita-
tion. This cannot measured

U. Gi I; and Philadelphia Blec.

The Bryn Mawr Hospital will be
one of the ten hospitals in Philadelphia’
and the suburbs which will soon be
equipped with artificial _ respirators.
This plan isto be carried out, through
the co-operative efforts of the United
Gas Improvement Company and the
Philadelphia Electric Company.

The respirators being purchased are
the same type used in San’ Francisco
and in the treatment of John Field in
Philadelphia. It is the invention of
Philip Drinker, assistant professor’ of
Industrial Hygiene at the Harvard
School of Public Health. Mr. Drinker,
a former Philadelphian, is the son of
“Dr. and Mrs. Henry S. Drinker, of
Merion, and a brother of Henry S.
Drinker, Jr... a member of the Phila-
delphia bar. Dr. Drinker is a former
president of Lehigh University.

The apparatus, of a torpedo-like ap-
pearance, works hike a mechanical
lung. The patient is placed in the
metal box or respirator with his head
protruding from one end through a
snugly fitting rubber collar. When
the respirator is closed, the body is in
a-relatively airtight container with the
head exposed to .rooni air. By means

Soldier Letters Tell of Establishing
- Washington’ s Winter Quarters at Valley Forge

aT



By GEORGE MORGAN '
~Fom& Main Line Community Weeklies |
Ritalin Line reader asks for a more |
detailed account of the movements of!
the Continental Army just before it
went into winter: quarters at Valley
Forge. Albigence Waldo, a surgeon
with the New England troops, wrote,
under date of Thursday, December 11,
17/7: “This night camped in a semi-
circle near the ford’—meaning Swedes
Ford, to which the army had marched.
from its strong Whitemarsh position,
east of the Schuylkill. Next day, De-
wceember. 12, Colonel Jehn Laurens
wrote. to his: father, Henry Laurens,
President of the Continental Congress,
theri sitting at York, beyond the Sus-
quehanna: “The want of provisions—
I could weep tears of blood when I say
it—rendéréd it impossible to march; we
did not march till the evening.”

“IT could weep tears of blood when
I say it,’ must have come from the
very ~heart of this aide to General
Washington. Young Laurens, highly
trained; capable, brilliant indeed, de-
served a better fate than was his; for,
. after the cessation of arms, he, unaware
that peace had come, was killed while
gallantly fighting, in his home State of
South Carolina.
~-~---But_there were other foes along the
_ Schuylkill, in the early winter of-1777-
than the gnaw of hunger and the bite
of icy winds. Our troops had intended
to cross the river at Matson’s Ford—
‘Washington miscalled it Madison’s
Ford—when, lo! on the western side,
holding the hilltops overlooking Gulph
Mill. Road, they spiedthe redcoats.
Lord: Cornwallis had been paying a
plundering and pig-sticking visit to
what is now our Main Line country.
‘True, he was returning “to town; but
just now he blocked “the road leading
from the river and the defile called the

Gulph.”
—4Nhat-issunderstood-as-the-Gulph,”
wrote our able local historian, the late
W. S.. Baker, “is . where the creek
_passes thfough the Gulph hill and to
effect a passage had _ cleft it. to the
base.” The mill was about a mile and
a half west of the Schuylkill, and be-|
tween six and seven miles ‘from Valley

Forge. It was of stone. A mile north |

home ‘of Lieutenant-Colonel Isaac
Hughes, of the Pennsylvania militia—
a dwelling house put up prior to 1743
and, taken down about 1867.

Our gallant Laurens, a member of
Washington's "family, wrote from head-.
quarters, Gulph- Mill; “The army
crossed the Schuylkill on the 13th (Sat-
urday); and has remained encamped on
the heights on this side. Our truly
republican’ general has declared to his
officers that he will set the example of
passing the winter in a hut himself,

“Our. truly republican general” had
no hut, of course, at the Gulph; he is
said’ to have established headquarters
in. the house of Colonel Hughes.

Tuesday, the 16th, is described by
Albigence Waldo as a “cold, rainy day

the fen more comfortable.” ~On De-
cember. 17; General Washington ex-
pressed his thanks to his officers and

as suggested by Congress. On the

explicit directions for the construction
of huts. The cantonment was to be at
Valley Forge; and the hutting was to
be by brigades. In another letter to
his’ father, Colonel Laurens wrote that
the camp has “been determined this
day; it must be in such a situation as
to admit of a bridge of communication
over the Schuylkill for the protection
enough from the enemy not to be
reached in a day’s march, and properly
interposed between’ the enemy and -the
most valuable part of this country on
this side of the Schuylkill.”
—Finally,—friday,_the19th, we have
this from the diary of Joseph Clark,
printed in the Papers of the New Jer-
sey .Historical. Society: “The camp
moved-near-- Valley Forge, where we
immediately struck up temporary huts
covered with leaves. In a few days
we began the building of our log huts.”
