_ 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

“mental work, but it also lies back of

good mental play.

I don’t need to urge any one who

seriousness toward it. That is the
advantage of the student preparing

for those’-of us who came to Bryn

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
am afraid that ’35 was left to its own
devices during the fond greetings of
long-separated friends. However, they

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.
For once they can enjoy college
without a postponed or future assign-

(unless they are

over their heads;
not have to’ study
unhappy enough to be among the
forty-one elect), they are kept busy
and do not find time hanging heavy on
their hands; and lastly, they have a
chance to learn to know this new class
before it becomes swallowed up in
class rooms or in the whirlpool of re-
turning upperclassmen.

Our duties, as I have said: keep us
busy, but. are pleasant, for we either
find some one who knows 'our long lost
