1935 - ‘FIND THE EXPERIENCE VERY ENLIGHTENING



“(Specially contributed by
Peggy Little, ’35)

Still another Freshnian .Week_ has
gone down in the. history\ of Bryn
Mawr College. As usual it was a
week filled with appointments. Each
girl, according to her number, whether
it was two or ninety-two, managed to
see in the ‘course of the week President
Park, Dean Manning, Dr, Wagoner
and Dr. Hewson. Beside that she,

Mawr League, and the Undergaduate
Association. All this was new and
therefore a pleasure, but for the high-
light of the week we might pick out

first, President Park’s reception and
second, .the :picni¢ and the concert at],
Wyndham.

In her talk President Park first told
us how the reception had changed

is it necessary to invent at break-neck
speed a career, nor to explain it in-
tremendous. voice, We should be

passed, for now the reception is an
affair to look forward to. We settle
back in our chairs. We learn about
the founding of the college, its history
and growth and even. the scandal it
once created. For the finishing touch
refreshments are served; so ’tis no
wonder we go “on our way rejoicing.”
Once again refreshments played their
part in the form of a picnic at Wynd-
ham. There Miss Moore told us about
our cuts, and there Miss Gallaudet
taught us songs or rather gave us a
concert. It was really the concert that
proved the cream of the program. In
fact we might stop here to raise a loud
shout of thanks for the hospitality
committee. It had already made its
place’ but this was tthe “crowning
glory.” We marvelled at the close
harmony. We even marvelled at
“Sophias Philai’” over which only the
week before we had laughed loud and
long.

Miss Donnelly Tells of
Sabbatical Year Abroad



At Miss Donnelly’s own request this
is but a modest* announcement of her
return to Bryn Mawr from a sabbatical
year abroad. Miss Donnelly spent
both summers in England working on
eighteenth century literature. She
lived: within easy distance of Cam-
bridge and those places which were of
inestimable value to her work. “But
as a holiday from her studies, she spent
last winter traveling through the coun-
tries on the Mediterranean. Although

Self-Government Greets
Freshmen at Reception



The annual reception of the Self-
Government Association for the
coming freshman class took place last
Saturday night. President Park,,Dean
Manning, Mrs. Collins and Miss’ Har-
denbergh, this year’s president of the
association, were in the receiving line.
Before the evening’s entertainment in
the form, of the orchestra arrived, Miss
Hardenbergh introduced’ Miss Park
and. Mrs..-Collins,. who..spoke to the
assembled of Self-Govern-
ment,

“This is a poor night of a poor week
on which to have to give a short, tell-
ing speech,’ said Miss Park, who has
been conscious of every move on the
campus during these first few very
hectic days that follow the opening-of
‘college. She said she felt like.a friend
of hers who made sonie slight mistake
because of a preoccupied mind, and
remarked, “Oh, I must be crazy.” “No,
Miss,” answered the old family re-
tainer, “You ain’t crazy. You're just
like me; you’re mind just comes and
goes.” The point. has never come,
however, when Miss Park has refused
point blank to speak at the Self-Gov-
ernment reception«because she has a
tremendous liking and respect for the
association as the personification of the
good things in Bryn Mawr, personal
independence and responsibility.

in my own reactions to. the News from

that they were stimulated less by criti-

In the first place, the every-day re-

This Thing Called Infantile \

It-is-net-often that-one has the pleasure, or at least the opportunity
to have the entire college at hand over a week-end. Usually the Big,
‘Happy Family is broken up, in a great rush for the 1:08. Now a wee
gerni (so they tell us), whose name, by the way, is much too long for
it, has come along to keep children from their parents, let us say, and
we must be content with only a foster mother.. Sometimes life seems
hard, but in this case not unfair as well. For, granted the initial risk of
letting us come back on schedule, there is little danger if we sit with our
fingers crossed and await the demise of the wicked germ. At any rate,
we are not complete prisoners, and Philadelphia, besides being compara-
tively safe, is rising to’the occasion with a number of amusements. As
for not receiving visits from those who are under suspicion as living in
an infected district, one cannot deny the wisdom of the course.

If the First. Frost keeps avoiding us, it might be desirable for the

college to establish an amusement park, or some such thing. The invet-
erate week-enders, not knowing how to work over a week-end, and too
proud..to_go.athletic, soon. ecoming- sated with sleep, might otherwise
break out into pie-bed making and other forms of the Practical Joke
to relieve themselves of the surplus energy.

At present, however, we are not too unhappy, and, what really
matters, we are teeming with health. Good: for us!

‘Dear Mrs. Manning:
Here I am in Munich, and very
comfortably and respectably settled.

This is-‘the women students’ dormitory
and. by far the cleanest, cheapest and
most wholesome way of living here.
Unfortunately the university is closed
for the summer holidays, so that I
have been compelled to study pri-
vately. For nine hours’ teaching in the
week, I pay. These consist of voice,
piano, music history and literature of

| the late Tomantic period. Four hours a

week I devote to language exchange.
The rest of the time I practice, study,
go around the city.

Munich is very beautiful and I love
it. Life here is much simpler than in
America—fewer conventions, und alles
ist doch so gemuetlich. Every one
says “Gruss Gott” and if you know a
few words like “fabelhaft” or “dunkles
Bier” or “sehr gemuetlich” then I
think you cannot be unhappy here.

I have learned to speak briskly and
be very direct about things so that |
don’t have to, talk in literary. German
construction, and consequently I am
‘never taken for an American: It’s
such fun. The first thing I did when
I arrived was to buy a map of the city,
and I hayen’t been lost since.

Last night I was quite excited and
pleased to hear Strauss conduct some
of his own music.

I had been here a week before havy-
ing met anyone from home, then sud-
denly at Mozart's “Zauberfloete” I ran
into Betty Doak and Bobsie Totten.

to belong to a boys’ club at-a nearby

But only half of our days at Junior
Month were spent in doing case work.
We also heard lectures by authorities
on different social problems—immigra-
tion, the mental defective, medical
social service, juvenile delinquency and
crime. Then we went out and saw
the institutions .through which the
community is attempting to deal with
these problems. We visited Ellis
Island, the Children’s Hospital for
Feeble-Minded on Randall's. Island,
the Medical Center and several others,

Perhaps . the most interesting field
trip we took was that.to the Children’s
Court. - Here boys from the ages of
nine to sixteen are committed to re-

times seem ridiculously small, such as
playing hookey from school or stealing
an apple or two from a_ pushcart—
offenses which if committed in a so-

‘be considered childish pranks. I can
even imagine. little Joe Ortu, if some
outlet for his energies had not been
found through case work, varying the
dullness of-his life-by leading a daring

Then we visited two of the reforma-
tories to which boys are committed
from the Children’s Court. They pre-
sented wa*“6orry contrast. One. con-
sidered its function that of punishment,
not re-education. The guide who con-

places where animals are kept on boafs.
It did not seem strange :when we heard
‘that this institution is a “veritable pre-
paratory school for Sing Sing.”

it prefers to be called, that we visited
was the Children’s Village at Dobbs
Ferry, which considers the children

A New: York Times London Correspondent, on Vaca-

statesmen regard The New York Times.

“You will remember the Simon report on India.

The report was the work of a commission of all three
parties which had been investigating the Indian problem for.
about three years. Unrest grew in India—all wondered what
would happen when the Simon report was released. Natur-
ally it was a secret to be guarded as only a State secret:

“Yet before the report was published, Sir John Simon,
leader of the commission, called the correspondents of The

New York Times to the House of Commons.
“We did not know what was expected of us,

“He took us to a little retiring room into which they

. bring. members of the House of Commons when they die
or are stricken in the House, but the purpose of his calling
for us was to corisult with The New York Times as to the
best method of achieving accurate publicity for the Simon

report.

_ Neither the actual situation nor the
widely- spread emotional fog in which
the situation is developing can be dealt
with any longer by individuals alone.
They represent the faithful but futile
thumb trying to plug the hole in the
dyke. Our only hope is, surely, to
join every force which can be made to
work for a common end, to assemble
all these forces in a common plan, to
rebuild and to build new, nationally
and internationally,'as fast as may be
or as slow as may be but together,
each responsible for his own part and
for, good will-and generosity toward
the rest.

_I have asked the students of the col-
lege to shoulder seriously their respon-
sibility for the college work this year.
Don't think by this I mean the acqui-
sition’ of 99.1 instead of 98.9 or 71.3
instead, 71.2. You and I too have
perhags said too much about such hair-
line differences. I do mean that I
hope you will make for yourselves high:
personal and college’ standards which
you will not allow to be broken down
by the drag of overwork imposed you
believe, by the faculty, or by the disin-
‘tegration ofbroken..work’ imposed I
believe by yourselves, and that you
may keep to those standards without
flagging, that you will throw your-
selves vigorously into what is good in
the work of the college and do your
part in criticism, but also in suggestiqn
and cure for what is faulty. I ask
you to be serious without any alarm
lest I. should wake up and find you
prigs. Seriousness lies back of good

had given up vying with each other in
naming Freshmen. They knew every
one (except those they did not: know).
However, to brighten up the morning
all Freshmen had to take the English
placement test. To the amazement of
all it was discovered that scarcely a
member of the class had ever tasted
a pear or knew what constituted a
mist. That afternoon the procession
to Philly began. Curtains and rugs
appeared in formerly bare rooms.
Truck loads of furniture arrived and
the halls were lined with half-unpacked
trunks. In the evening, despite spas-
modic. rainstorms, there was a picnic
in Wyndham at which a few remarks
were made about Undergrad. This
was followed by singing. The Fresh-
men were introduced to Sophias and
they seemed to like it, judging from
the_ demands for encores. They also
were taught some of the other college
songs, which they learned very quickly.

Sunday morning there was an un-
precented exodus to church and in the
afternoon — there was a reception at
Miss. Park’s for Freshmen only.._( For
further information see a Freshman.)
At chapel in the evening Marj Field
gave an explanation of the work of
the league... This was thé “last day~in
which the Freshmen held the center.

the deluge of upperclassmen:began. I

Hee,

Freshman Week as a whole was

‘teas in *Goodhart every. afternoon,

ting acquainted and thoroughly settled
before the beginning of classes. The
only criticism of it which is at all
widespread is-that it is about two days
too long. Some of the extra time this
year. was taken up by. having informal
by
hockey tryouts, and by holding the
first Lantern Night practice on Mon-
day. The only way in which I can
see that Freshman Week might be
shortened would be to ask the Fresh-
men. who live nearby to see the Dean
some day before Freshman Week or
to make a greater use of Sunday. I
have also heard murmurs among. the
Freshmen.that they have had no work
to do during the first week of classes.
I am sure that the professors in the
first-vear courses could be persuaded
to give definite assignments at the first
meeting of their classes, because most
Freshmen are ready to begin work
after six days of waiting. Although
these are matters of minor importance
I think their. correction wéuld. add to
the value of Freshman Week.



(Specially contributed by A. Lee
Hardenberg, °32)

Freshman Week from the
Classmen’s point of view, about which
I believe I was asked to write, is a
very pleasant and profitable five days.

Sophomores Get Freshman
Song at Parade Night



Tuesday night, September 29, saw
the Freshmen and Sophomores merrily
upholding — the tradition of Parade
Night: For days the Freshmen had
been hiding from prying Sophomores
the tune of their Parade Night ‘song.
At the last: hour 1934, following the
merest. suggesting of a ‘hint, wrote
their parody. tothe tune—of~‘“Good-
night, Ladies.” |

Under a bright moon in a clear sky
1934 danced around the huge bonfire
on the tennis court. When ‘the class
of 1935 marched over the brow of the
hill, accompanied by the band, and
lit by red torches carried by the
Juniors, lo and.behold, the band was
lustily playing ‘Goodnight, Ladies”!
The Freshmen broke through the re-
‘sisting ring of Sophomores and, form-
ing an inner ring around the fire,.sang
their song, written by Barbara Lewis.
Try to beat us,

Try to beat us,

The whole college will have a chance.

With futile strategy.

Where if you-had used your -head
You would surely be.
And the triumphant ‘Sophomores

So long Freshmen,
You're all wrong, Freshmen,
You've lost your song, Freshmen,

tant factor is that they are the ways of
the ‘student body. Miss Park,’ there-
fore, comes to the receptiongnot only
willingly, but feeling that the proce-
dures of Self-Government are worthy
of much attention and that the associa-

tion is one upon which all Bryn Mawr
students should “congratulate them-
selves.

Following Miss Park’s address, Mrs.
Collins told a few things about big
May Day which is being celebrated for
the eighth time this year. In nipeteen
hundred Mrs. Andrews, who was rais-
ing money for an Alumnae fund, real-
ized that Bryn Mawr was the perfect
setting for an Elizabethan May Day.
Since then it has been given six times,
becoming much more elaborate though
no more authentic after nineteen
twenty, In spite of the plays, the her-
alds and the oxen drawing ‘the May
pole, to’ Mrs. Collins the dancing on
the green ori which everyone takes part



is the highlight of May Day. “There
is lots of hard work connected with
it, too,” said Mrs. Collins, “but there
is nothing like the aesthetic satisfac-
tion”one gets from taking part in some-
thing very beautiful.”

“Standing here holding out May. Day
as a welcome “to the freshmen,” con-
cluded Mrs. Collins, “I should like to
say in the terms once addressed by an
old Dorsetshire man to myself, ‘ *Appy
‘unting, Milady, d ‘ope the fox gives
you a good run; and if me knees and
me ‘ands were as young as me ’eart I’d
