achieved this- year on the exact. two days }~
of May Day, to have the sun shining to

give the right tone..and color to the

achievement.

' Everything was new and alive. From
the silly green fuzz on the slopes about
to the--very—
mature cherry and. dogwood blossoms,
it was all fresh and spontaneous. And
Every dancer’
on the green seemed really to be having
a good time; the plays completely lacked
the artificial formality which “usually
falls like a pall,on dramatic productions
of-any sort,; People_in costume wandered
lolled under the trees,
drank from bottles, drifted among the
spectators. Clothes were not ‘treated
with the deferential stiffness usually ac-
corded to theatrical costumes; they were
worn unself-consciously, treated with
easy: familiarity. Even-at the last per-
formance, aftersa hot, hard day, there
was a spontaneous enthusiasm and in-

_ formality about the whole thing.

Audiences Variously Enthusiastic.

This. fresh spontaneity was what made
the 1928 May Day the rare and perfect
was. All the ex-

finished but the inner spirit, sorfething
on which no director can count ahead
of time; the spirit was what caused the
unprecedented success. The audience
felt this. “The real spirit of Elizabethan,
England,” said one authority. What

and enthusiastic audiences they were too;

day than on Friday of ‘course. No one

formance. Some liked the pageant best,
others the. Green; the different plays. all
had their, unquenchable enthusiasts. All
agreed that the May Queen could not
have been more charming, and that there
had. never»been a better Robin Hood.

Yes, it was all a huge and overwhelm-.

ing success. Bigger crowds than on any
other May Day he had seen, said Mr.
Dougherty ; the best May Day since 1910
was the definite comment of many ‘others.
From the beginning to . the end it ran off
smoothly.

Of course there were a few behind-
the-scenes -ificidents. The Robin Hood
cast nearly, had convulsions of agony
when the horse. of Sir Richard of the
Leas reared so. that it all but toppled
over backwards. The good knight stuck

on most nobly, however, and the audience

went into convulsions of admiration and
joy. Nor did the spectators who ,saw
the pageant swing by the grandstand in
perfect formation know of the frenzied
flight that took place in back of Merion.
Proud gods and goddesses humiliated,
clutching their shields and helmets, cling-
ing to the backs of wagons, lifting their
classic draperies for the mad dash.
Things like these were strictly in the
family, and the'general public saw: only
the ivory smooth exterior.

a Mrs. Collins, Miss Applebee, Mr. King,
and Miss Palache deserve to have beds
of roses suspended in the semi-vacuum
which has followed the passing of the
year’s big occasion. Théy all gave a
great deal to the college, but the college
also gave a great deal to them. The
May Day committee should consider as
its greatest achievement the surprising
and surprised enthusiasm of the under-
graduates, for the genuine enthusiasm
with which the college found itself cheer-
ing the crowning of the May Queen was

An Explanation

The attention of the college has
for the past month been focused
lpon itself. “By concentration in-
ward we have built up a,great sucz,
cess. But now, before the renewede
intensity..of exams, it is time to
relax, to expand, and turn our
‘attention outward. The Cornece fF
News therefore takes this oppor-
tunity to print some of the infor-
mation which it has been accumu-
lating about other colleges and the
student world in general. We try
to. print what will be of special
interest to the student body.: But
we think it-only fair.to state that
we have also on file, and will pro-
‘duce on demand, information con- ,

é

~After reading innumerable papers from
almost innumerable colleges, we have|

come to the conclusion that the best way

to comprehension of another ‘college lies
° ‘ |
‘through its newspaper. Through fre-

quent reading of that you can find. out
not only most of the external, the
mechanical facts that lie concealed in
the catalogue, but’ also the more subtle
things, such as the underlying spirit and
character of the collega And of course
the more you read, thie better you under-
stand,

From a summary of the news iterhs
ina paper you see whatevents are con-
sidered important at that’ particular place,
what matters are of greatest interest’ to
its students. (We wish to~ say ~ here,
without any Axcuse or explanation, but
just so as *to say it before’anyone else
does, thaf the News has often been
criticized . for its. preponderance. -of.re-
ligious articles.) For example, in the}
Stanford Daily and the Daily Nebraskan |
a large number of columns are devoted

times none at all—unless chess tourna-,
ments be included in sports. . And of”





2 Se ¢ at

no sports in the Canadian universities, |
or that there ‘are no events other than
sporting in the .Western universities—it
is merely an indication of interests.
“Columns of Opinion Popular.”
In-almost all of the papers, there is a
column for the expression of public}
opinion; that is, for ‘letters commenting |
on college affairs.. These columns, to-
gether with the editorials reflect the,
thought—or lack of thought—of the stu- |
dent bedy, and its opinion of passing |
events. and» existing institutions. Of
course it very often happens that these |
letters. are in criticism of some editorial |
comment on the part of the newspaper ;
this*fact gives the~reader at least’ two |
points of view on the subject,-two angles |
for discussion. - In many cases the edi-|
torials are concerned with college affairs |
alone, but in other's, notably the Harz ard |*
Crimson, the Yale News,. The Daily:
Princetonian, and the Canadian. papers |
mentioned above, there is always. at least |
one editorial of more than local interest. |
The . Harvard and Princeton papers
have one feattre that is unique in ‘our
knowledge of college newspapers. They
publish, under the headings of The Stu-
dent Vagabond and the Third Elective,
-lists of lectures, with their lecturers,
which they consider of interest to” the
students generally. This could not help
but be useful and interesting, specially
in a. large university, where the oppor-
tunities for hearing unusual’ lectures is
large. These two papers and the Yale
News also issue a monthly literary sup-
plement, consisting of book -reviews and
articles on literary matters. Most of.
the other papers print occasional re-

| views-in their daily or weekly issues. }

Possible Race Problem

Miss Crystal Bird, one of the, dut-
race, will speak here on Sunday: evening
at 8.15. o’clock. Miss Bird comes to the
college under the combined auspices of

former Chriggian Association, -through
the courtesy of the’ American Friends’
Service Committee. The predominating
purpose of this committee is
a better understanding between races,
nations -and various groups of people.
Realizing the deep need in American life |
for.a more. intelligent .understanding of
the colored people, the’ Interracial Sec-
tion of the American Friends’ Service

Committee is presenting, Miss - Bird ror ;

The subject. of Miss. Bird’s talk will
be: “Is There: a Race Problem”? The |
retent C. A. questionnaires shdwed .

in the race question, It is_a problem _
which all. thoughtful people: ‘should con-





something before forming an opinion.

Miss Bird is aegraduate of the Boston
Normal School and has done graduate
work. at Teachers’ College, Columbia
University. She taught in the Boston
Public Schools for three years and then
became Secretary for Younger Colored
Girls, Girl Reserve Department, -Nda-

most of us she better known as a}

her in a remarkable way to interpret her |

quence and power as.a speaker and her |

Honors Work Diaousaed
~ “by Dean and Dr. Gray,

Thé meaning and intention of Honors

work-was the subject~of Dean Manning’s-,

talk jn Chapel on Monday morning, April |

23rd. To many people the purpose of |
this: type’ of work has been to find 7
means -.of letting those students work |
rapitly who are capable of ‘so doing.
European
and American universities, - Here at
Bryn Mawr, however, we need-not take
I this idea into. account; the student body |
is unusually small, and proportionately |
few people go into very’ advanced work. |
It this-were the -sole reason ‘for adopt-



|

have been considerd as a necessary addi-
tion to our curriculum,
Our Need for Honors Work.
However, the Dean proceeded to point |
out the fact that there is a need, even
here, to differentiate between the type of
work: that is.done by lower and upper-
'classmén. Freshmen are put immediately
into classes with people who have had’

previous experience of tlie lecture sys- |}

in ¢é Northwestern University class
sin and y e groups are

tem, and they have little or no chance to
| become, accustomed to a form of work



‘with .which they have studied at school.
|On the other hand, students have. become |

the end of their Sophomore year, and |
|they are prepared to go’ on with a more
advanced -type of work. The ideal. of

study is, of course, to see things-as a |
whole, and to connect up the work of the
| several semesters; it is hardly possible
|that this ideal may be attained under the
| present system. A correlation of stib-
jects is to be desired, and it is towards
this new purpose .that the. Honors work
is hoped to reach.

Dangers of .Irresponsibility.

There will be a great deal more indi-
vidual work done under the new plan,
and this element, in itself, has disadvan-
tages. It presupposes a well-developed
sense of responsibility on the part of the
student; therefore we must be serious
in the experiment. “I hope,” concluded
the, Dean, “that the students will lend as
much initiative to the attempt as the fac-
ulty, as it is only in this way that we
can succeed wih Honors work.”

AN EXPRESSION OF. -_
GRATITUDE

Now that May Day is over and
everyone is beginning to secover
from her exhaustion and .excite-
ment, we are able to consider the
whole affair more calmly, to see
with greater clarity. As we look
back we see: that we, the under-
graduates, owe a debt of gratitude
to the many outside of our own
number who have contributed
time and skill and thought that
May Day might be a success. To
many of these we have expressed
our-gratitude—in so far as grati-
tude. may be.expressed—and for
still others there has been recom-
pense in the admiration and ap-
preciation of the visitors. But
there.are workers whose work has

Now that ‘the. pageantry _ of

day will “soon come when that

A Solution for Those

_ Conditioned in Oral
A nevel and apparently successful
method fer German instruction is be-
ing’ undertaken’ at the Mount. Holyoke
College Summer School tnder _ the
supervision of Miss Lilian L..Stroebe,
professor in ,our German: department.
From 1912-1927, Professor Stroebe con-|
ducted a German Summer School, the
last three years under the auspices of
Middlebury College, Middlebury, Ver-
mont, The instruction was discontinued
during the world war, and the unfortu-
nate results of that revolt against all
study of German-are now manifesting |
themselves. Because of this.need. for the |
language, Mount Holyoke opened its |
doors to the German Summer School last
summer, and seventeen students, includ-
ing teachers and students at college and
high school, benefited by fffose methods
of instruction employed. by Miss Stroebe
before—the--war. seers

The principle of the school is to secure
by isolation, concentration, anid-e6-ordina-
tion, the same results as those derived
from study in Germany. The students are
housed in Porter Hall apart from those
speaking any other language and they are
“pledged to speak German constantly. The
mornings are . devoted -to. classes, the
afternoons to individual study and_recrea-
tion, and the evenings to such entertain-
ment as German lectures, . There are’ also
opportunities to gain a knowledge. of
German .life through periodicals and
newspapers. Professor Stroebe conducts
the courses with the assistance of a staff
of native teachers. Individual instrtiction
is made- possible -by the fact that a
teacher is provided for every six or seven

‘Appreciation,

.

Expressed - and
* Suggestions Made by
_President: Park.

In chapel Monday morning, President
Park spoke upon the triumph of May
day. And it wasn’t all-the fault of the4
pean First, there was the weather.

t.is remarkable, she said, what a differ-
ence it makes to see the pageant under

a gray sky, and undef a sky sucheas we
had both Friday and Saturday. The
quietness of the air was another ad-
vantage, for in 1916 there was so much
“wind to carry the voices away, that some
of the plays gave the effect of being
done in pantomitne. ‘The fact that ‘there
were no ominous clouds. decreased the
unrest which outdoor audiences usually
have, and this made it-easier for the
. actors,

The campus was at its most bésutiful
moment. It has never been so lovely for
May day, Miss Park continued. The cold
had held back so many.of the blossoms,

that suddenly everything’ burst out,
whether it was time or not, in the hgxuri-
ous warmth,

Queen. and Court Lend Unity. -

Two new things marked May day.
One was the addition of a very dis-
tinguished play, andl the other was the
increased-- importance ofthe Green.
Queen Elizabeth and her court gave dt
increaséd unity. St. George was better
-done than ever, and the Gypsy and Sword
dancers and ‘the tumblers» were—superb.
‘The Morris dance? are~ always wonder-
ful, in the president’s 6pinion! ‘

The .one thing that must be changed
is the music. If some arrangement could
be made with the Curtiss Institute it
would be most desirable. Another thing
we must keep in. mind is the permanent
addition of court costumes. Godde Queen
Bess has kindly donated her magnificent
one. .
The presence of the Phoebe Anna
Thorne School adde@a great deal to the
pageant. The children gave the Green a
more complete appearance of a village
scene;’ their play was well done and
added a new interest. One carried away
from all the plays an impression of
simplicity, of graceful movement, of pos-
ture, of grouping, and of beauty of
voices, This is all due to Mr. King.
Great praise must be accorded to. Miss
Applebee, who kept up enthusiasm and
interest in Mayday through «all- the
weeks of preparation.

A complete lack of self-consciousness,
and ‘great confidence, was noticed in
every performer.. President Park con-
cluded by saying how we would like to
have the next’ May days exactly the same,
hut each” generation--of-—students_is_re-
sponsible, and each May -day will depend
upon its gertration!



Freeman Outlines Seven
Foundations of Faith

The seven essential foundations of
Christian Faith were outlined by Dr..
Ralph Freeman, of Pasadena, Cali-
fornia, in Sunday chapel on April 29.
“Some of us,’? he began, “come to
Faith in dogmatic ways and’ some of
us in ways not dogmatic,” through
natural emotion as we might appreciate
a symphony, though knowing nothing
of the theory of music... Yet, in cecal
of -the fact. that-mres > a

arrive at our faith by aa we all|

crave some authority which we can
hear and see and feel, which will give
us some reliable basis for our belief.

The difficulty is that there are differ-
‘ent demands in the matter of: author-
ity. What are fundamentals to- some
are not fundamentals to others, and
the sure things of today are not the
sure things of tomorrow. “Some
things, however,” declared Dr. Free-
man, “are sure to my Christian think-
ing. I cannot begin my religion with-
out Me as the first foundation of all
religious thinking. I am not interested
in how I came to be, in a scientific
sense. “The museum of antiquities and
vestigial remains which I contain is
not-necessary to mf conception of
myself, except aS_I -can perceive some-
‘thing behind them. The two buttons
on my coat sleeve are ‘a nuisance,
“merely. there because our ancestors
happened to have lace sleeves, which
had to be kept out of the soup. It is
not difficult to see these relics of evo-
lution, and yet to believe in something
back of all that. Evolution may re-
quire the dustyofthe earth as well as
the mind of a Creator.

A Break With College Humor

- College Humor is no fonger to “be

legiate wit, so far as the Western editors
and managers of these publications, in
¢ .

ton, voted to break their contracts which
give College Humor sole reprint rights;

“Our reason for breaking the contract,”
said Albert Salisbury, president -of the
association, “is that we feel the College
Humor is painting a picture of flaming
youth which is not real, and which gives
to the average reader a false idea of col-
lege life:

jokes and plays them’ as representative
college humor, with no mention of any

gin and sex jokes, with a greater propor-
tion of clean humor just as representa-
tive-of college life.”

The-action was -unanimous. ‘The’ as-
sociation will make its feeling known to

hope that its action may be the first part
of a revolt against distorted pictures of.
collegiate America.—New Student.

Criminal Cramming.
According to the Syracuse Daily Sun
Dr. Ross A. Baker, head of the chemistry
department ‘at Syracuse University, has
recently attacked the grand old institutiqn

manner:—‘‘Cramming is unethical. It is
just as crooked for a studént to cram
his head with innumerabfe details at the
‘last minute as -it is actually - to carry

room, What is hastily collected is: “usually
of an unimportant nature and will crowd
cut the fundamental ideas gathered dur-
ing the whole. semester.” Acting on this
belief, Dr, Baker makes out examinations

Columbia Curriculum
Radically Revised

Displacing the present curriculum of
twenty years’ standing, a revised plan of
undergraduate study, designed to open
new and larger intellectual vistas to’ the
student, will go into.effect next Septem-
ber. a Columbia College. The first two
years will be devoted to “orientation and
discovery.” The junior‘and senior years
will be given to.genuine work in prepara-
tion for graduate or professional study.
or for “the yét more serious business of
living a useful and high-thinded life.”

The new plan includts such innovations
as lecture courses demanding neither pre-
requisites ‘nor examinations, and reading
courses given co-operatively in différent
Dis-
cussing ‘the program and its aims Presi-
dent. Nicholas Murray Butler said:

“Atiy~ student who satisfactorily com-
pletes the work of the freshman .and
sophomore years will have gained a good
general education ‘of junior college grade.
Should he not desire further college
training, he will’have-accomplished-some-
thing ‘that is definite and most helpful ‘in
making him an intelligent citizen. Skilful
advisers will come to know each student,
his needs and his ambitions, and aid him
te reach those affecting his
career which will be correct.

“Another—most~important-principle_has
entered into the making of the new pro-
gram, Every effort has been made to
meastire progress toward the bachelor’s
degree in terms of ‘real achievement
rather than in terms of prescribed
_courses, or hours, or points, or anything

“A student who can show that he is
competent to omit any of-the courses
ordinarily prescribed for undergraduates
will be encouraged to do so. He will thus
gain opportunity to take up. studies for
which he is réady and in which -he is

in a grcup wh'ch bores and discourages
him while other less well-prepared stu-

Seat of League C Se
for Students in the
Summer.
neues

Geneva is the great’ summer _ rendez-
vous -of students, Its place on neutral
ground, its sani st and its unex-
ampled—opporttifities “for international
studies combine to make’ it a perfect
meeting ‘place. While the diplomats of
matiy countries gather’ at the annual
sessions of the League of Nations, -stu-
dents of more than fifty. nationalities
meet more informally in the classrooms
and tea-rooms of the city. In the sum-
mer of 1926 there were five “thousand
students in Geneva. :
Fhe - Students’ International Union,
which seeks to bring together and to
assist all these wandering students, has
been called a nursery of the: international
‘mind. At its headquarters at 10 Rue
St. Leger in Geneva it maintains an In-
formation .and Service Bureau which
assists in planning courses and tours for
its members, finds rooms for them when
they arrive, doctors when they are sick,
and trains when they depart. Its facili-
ties include a library containing maga-
zines and newspapers in every language;
a tea-room, and halls where lectures,
discussions. and parties’ are held. But,
its purpose is more than a pragctical im~
mediate one. It has gained the support

“of many distinguished men and women

who feel that onky by cultivating in the
youth of the world a mind capable of
seeing and appreciating the other nation’s
point of view can the future be secyred
from Wars: .
Membership Dues Support Union, °
The Union is maintained solely by con-
tributions and membership dues. Stu-
dént members pay two dollars’ a year
or one dollar a summer. Contributors,
on—a_larger_scale_are sustaining, ,organ-
izing or contributing members. .The
director in Geneva is Mr. Harry D.
Gideonse, M. A., formerly a teacher in
the Department .of Economics at Colum-
bia, University.. The Union also has an
office in the United States at 522 Fifth
avenue, New Y#rk. Professor Gilbert
Murray, ‘so well known to students in
other ways, is President of the Board
of: Directors. te
Durjng the summer a large number of-

ganizations in Geneva. The summer
courses at the University of Geneva spe-
cialize in French. language and literature.

Mother's Day, Sunday, May 13th .

The Sampler is expressive of the qualities that most appeal to
mothers. Inner character and. goodness. Outward charm and
refinement. A gentle whisper from bygone days in the quaintness
of its ‘dress’. Yet thoroughly modern in the variety of its sweets
and the skill with which they are made.

Yes, genuine things are most acceptable to Mother. And she
will recognize in the Sampler your desireto express a real affection.

in connection with that course. The an-
nouncement was not made earlier because

riculum Committee of the factilty had

The honors awarded for this type of
work: are given on the.basis of a com-

of the Senior year. The purpose of this
examination is to. test the amount and
breadth of reading done by the individual
duringthe course of her “honors” work.
In connection™-with the present system
very few people do any kind of intensive
reading on one subject; and ‘it-is prac-
tically. impassible to get a thorough back-
ground.
Specific Plans.

The-plan, as it will be worked out next
year, is to.teke-up from: eight to twelve
periods of history, throughout the year,
and tq do. concentrated reading on each

in@’® with the instructor «each week, and
~ there will be group diseiission of each of
the topics.

_A second plan is to combine the. above
system with some much*more intensive
work,--In-this-way,-each student, work-
ing with an instructor, would cover one
topic each. semester... This would bea
small scale plan of the research. work
done for the Master’s Degree.

As a rule this type of work will, be
done chifly by Seniors. However, Dr.

reason why, advanced Juniors should not

be allowed to do-the saine type of thing.

The arrangement is rather experimental,

at best, and it will undoubtedly be

changed about from year to year.
Credit for Courses.

Each ystudent who goes in for work
under this plan will probably take.a two-
or three-hour advanced course, .and do
individual work for which she will get
two hours’. credit. In other words, the
honors work will generally count as a
five-hour block. It. will be possible, how-
ever, to take only the three-hour course,
which will prepare especially for the
June examination; the other work will
be advantageous. largely because of the
experience and thé practicé,in reasearch.

Dr. Gray went on to say that our Post
Major courses correspond.pretty closely,
even now, to “the kind of honors work
which. is-done-in most-other- colleges; the

is the fact of an instructor working with
a small group of ‘students.
