Secretarial Training

Asked by Publishers

Mrs. Taylor Indicates Positions
Available in Special Fields
To Avid Readers





ADVANCEMENT IS SLOW

Goodhart, April 9.—Mrs. T. A. Tay-
lor, an associate editor of Macmillan
Company, discussed the various fields
for women in publishing houses, em-
phasizing the difficulties in getting
into these houses and the training and
personal qualities, particularly a pub-
licity sense and secretarial training
necessary for such work. It is very
hard for women to get into publishing
houses because they’ are many more
applicants than there are jobs avail-
able. Competition is particularly keen
among college graduates who are. will-
ing to take any job, no matter how
low the pay. The positions which are
available to them gre not well paid.
Advancement in this business is slow
and there is a good-deal of routine
work.

One of the best ways to get into a
publishing house is through secretar-
ial work, since it is often possible to
be taken on as a secretary and then
be promoted to the field in which one
is more interested. The position of
secretary to the President or Editor-
in-Chief is an influential. and import-
ant one. It is also possible for women
to get into the publicity, promotional,
or juvenile departments, while there
are few if any women in the manufac-
turing or sales departments. The po-
sition of editor is hard to obtain, since
most publishing houses have experi-
enced readers, and only one or two
women editors. There are positions in
publishing houses which do work only
in special fields, such as_ miediicne,
which are open to women. In apply-
ing for a job any personal contacts
one may have with connections of a
firm are very valuable. Previous ex-
perience is important, though not nec-
essary; work in book stores or_li-
braries is particularly helpful.

There are many qualifications for
work in publishing houses, the -most
important of which is a_ publicity
sense, an ability to pick books that
will sell. A knowledge of English and
other literatures must be thoroughly
ingrained in those working with books.
An ability. to consider objectively
oneself and the subjects in which one
is interested is advisable, as is an in-

Summer School Omitted
One Year For Changes



(Reprinted from the April Issue. of
the Alumnae Bulletin)

In 1921 President Thomas proposed

the use of some of the’ Bryn Mawr

buildings during the summers forthe
education of women industrial work-
ers and the Summer School of Women
Workers was organized. It was an.es-
sential part of the plan that the re-
sponsibility for its direction should be
assumed not by the college but by its
own Board made up of a joint repre-
sentation of Bryn Mawr and of labor.
The Directors of the College voted at
once the loan of the buildings for
eight weeks each year and the School,
held annually on the campus and tak-
ing its name from the College, has nat-
urally seemed to many people a col-
lege project and not as it is officially,
a summer guest. While official re-
sponsibility’ has not existed and while
the academic. curriculum of the School
has been entirely in the hands of the
Summer School Board, the unofficial
connections between College and’
School have been close and constant.
Bryn Mawr has been represented in
the School by a succession of Bryn
Mawr alumnae on the joint Board of
the Summer School, by the Divegstor
from 1921 to 19338, by alumnae who
at different times have taught in the
School, by undergraduates who have
annually assisted the Summer Scliool
staff, by many alumnae through the
country serving on the local admis-
sions or finance committees, and by the
contribution of many more to the an-
The Directors of the
College and in great part the alum-
nae have welcomed Bryn Mawr’s con-
nection with a pioneer attempt to give
to young women in industry an op-
portunity for study and training.

In the last years the attention of
the Directors of the College has been
called to gradual changes in the edu-
cational policy of the School. These

Faculty Rehearse Show in Great Secrecy
But Reports Imply Hilarious Performance



If secrecy can produce a good per-
formance, the Faculty Show should
break all records. We tried hiding
behind Juno and Jupiter, thinking we
might overhear some bits of conversa-
tion which would give us something
definite to tell everyone. We even
spent a great deal of time in the
stacks, tracking down professors; we
sneaked into the basement of Pem-
broke East, hoping to find some of the
English Department talking about the
show, but they were all silent! Ah,
but we have found out something! We
discovered it by snooping around the
bookshop and by going to the gym-
nasium to sign up for our spring
sport. Sorrowfully we are forced to
confess, ’tis but a bit, and still the
Faculty Show is a mysterious thing.
The performance to be given this year
for the benefit of the Million Dollar
Drive, is arranged in general like that
given in 1933. It will be a series of
skits, which, it has been insisted, are
put together in an organized form.
One member of the Faculty proudly
stated that the production this year
will undoubtedly outshine the 1933
show. That is an optimistic statement,
but we believe it!

Mrs. Nahm said that there had been
several rehearsals during spring va-
cation, during which everyone present
nearly died of hysterics. If the Fac-

_ ulty members are so overcome at this

date at their own antics, we suggest



‘that there be numerous cease

fae °

outside Goodhart on the evening of
April 15th, prepared to carry away
prostrate undergraduates.

The two upper classes were fortu-
nate enough to see the first Faculty
Show, called Restraint Necessary. For
the benefit of those who did not see
this, we are writing something of what
occurred during that performance.
Mrs. Tennant sang a song, as did
President Park. Both of them, we
learn, did most creditably, and the au-
dience clamored for more. Samuel
Arthur King, whom Mr. Warburg in-
troduced with perfect diction, recited
a poem, which he accompanied with
many gestures. Messrs. Herben, Blan-
chard, Watson, and Turner formed a
quartet. We hope they will do it again.
Dr. Gray gave a delectable little mono-
logue on feminine finger nails, which
must have seemed suitable, delivered
in the usual manner of a history pro-
fessor. Mrs. Nahm and Dr. Watson
had the romantic leads in a sketch
calléd The Potter’s Wheel. We can
imagine the feeling they must have
aroused, especially since numerous un-
dergraduates believe that Dr. Watson
is the double of the handsome Nils
Asther of movie fame. No doubt
everyone has heard of the puppets
which Mr. Alwyn and Mr. Willoughby
worked and the Men’s May Day skit
was a joy to behold. Staid professors
cavorting as we do, doing the one-two-
three hop to perfection, must have



Careers Encouraged -

- For Young Authors



Speakers at Conference Assert
* Futures In Dancing, Acting
No Longer Open



| BUSINESS" OFFERS JOBS



(Especially Contributed by
D. Tate-Smith, ’35)

Hotel Astor, March 29 and 30.—A
note of definite optimism prevailed in
the advice of many of the’speakers at
the! Institute of Women’s Professional
Relations conferente on Careers for
College Women. Especially in the field
of writing and publishing, great en-
couragement was held forth to young
authors of plays, novels and_ short
stories and to young women who are
seeking work on magazines. The in-
ability of older people to see any way
out of the present economic chaos ren-
ders, necessary a quest for young peo-
ple who are in touch with the new
economic and political order that is
emerging. It was asserted that never
have first manuscripts been more eag-
erly read nor applicants for jcbs more
eagerly welcomed than at the present

In the business field, opportunities
for young people are also becoming
more prevalent than in recent years,
and Mr. Thomas B. Watson, the presi-
dent of the International Business Ma-
chines Corporation, announced that
that very day he had engaged a secre-
tary who had attended Bryn Mawr
College for two years and the Kath-
erine Gibbs Secretarial Schoo] for two
more, and that he was offering posi-
tions to nineteen other young women
who had as able qualifications as she
had. He explained that she had rec-
ommended herself to him by her obvi-
ous secretarial ability, by her good
manners, and by her thorough educa-
tional background. These are quali-
ties which he demands in all his sec-
retaries, but in addition he particular-
ly needs young’ women who are con-
versant with*Several languages. Sev-
eral of the delegates to the conference
applied for the positions that night,
but they are by no means completely
filled. Mr. Watson also asserted his
willingness to interview recent gradu-
ates at any time and to assist them to
find a position in case he has none to
offer. a

In the field of the theatre, of. pub-
licity work connected with the theatre,
and of the dance, on the other hand,
the advice was highly discouraging.
There are still many more actresses,
dancers and aspiring publicity agents
than there are jobs for them, and all
the speakers insisted that unless a gir]
was ardently set on working in those
lines, she should not attempt to enter
a field which is already overcrowded.
No one should propose to be a dancer
unless she has a private income, since
the most widely renowned dancers,
even up to Martha Graham, make ab-
solutely no money through their art
and are dependent on teaching to
bring them any income at all.

Miss I. A. R. Wylie, who conducted
the conference on writing and publish-
ing, said that an active creative imag-
ination was the only essential for writ-
ing fiction and that attending either
writing school or college was a waste
of time and led to the danger of be-
coming academic. She advocated, as
did all the speakers in the writing con-
ference, the acquisition of a literary
agent, both because the agent assumes
the intricate responsibilities of ar-
ranging movie, foreign and dramatic
rights for all work, and because per-
sonal interviews with publishers are
often discouraging and embarrassing.
The names of the established and best
agents are given out on application by
any publishing house or magazine.

Students Will Support

Peace Demonstrations



On this coming Friday, April 12,
at 11 A. M., the Undergraduate Asso-
ciation plans to hold a demonstration
for peace in Goodhart Hall at which
there will be an outside speaker. This
effort to get concerted college action
in expressing opposition to war and
support of the peace movement is be-
ing held in conjunction with other col-
leges and universities all over the
world. In some institutions with lib-
eral administration, students are plan-
ning programs similar to the one to
be held here, while at others, in which
the authorities are opposed to any sort
of peace movemént, students are ex-
pecting to strike,—to walk out of
classes, and join in peace programs
in spite of opposition. Bryn Mawr is
fortunate in having a liberal and sym-
pathetic administration which is in
favor of some sort of peace demonstra-
tion, and the Undergraduate Associa-
tion hopes that all: students will avail
themselves of this opportunity as
classes are to be suspended and that
they will publicly show their interest
in and support of peace. It is im-
portant that everyone should come,
since it is only by united expression
of our convictions that we can be
heard at all.

The International Club expects to
demonstrate its concern for peace by
sending a delegation to the Model As-
sembly of the League of Nations which
will be*tield at New York University
from April 11-13. The Club feels that
an intelligent interest in and- under-
standing of world affairs is an im-
portant step in securing peace. The
questions which will be especially con-
sidered this week-end are: (1) a plan-
ned economy for the world, (2) muni-
tions, and (3) sanctions. The college
delegation, which will represent Ura-
guay, is as follows: Betty Bock, ’36;
Eleanor Fabyan, ’36;. Sophie Hunt,
36; Mary Hutchings, °37; Eleanor
Sayre, ’38, and Alice Schurcliff, ’38.

Following the demonstrations © be-
tween 11.00-1.00 on Friday the col-
leges and universities in and near
Philadelphia will hold a meeting at
4.30 P. M. in Reyburn Plaza. Defi-
nite plans for this meeting have not
yet been announced.



Dr. Van Dusen is Chapel Speaker

The Bryn Mawr League takes great
pleasure in announcing Dr. Henry P.
Van Dusen as the speaker for the
Sunday evening service on April four-
teenth. He is Dean of Students at
the Union Theological Seminary and
associate professor of Systematic The-
ology and Philosophy of Religion.

Dr. Van Dusen’s activities are not
confined to teaching. »He has distin-
guished himself in missionary work
and was one of the nine noted authors
of The Christian Message For The
World Today, a study of Christianity
as a world-wide movement. Among the
books-that--he—has_written_are The
Plain Man Seeks For God, The Quest

Faith.

In the summer of nineteen thirty-
three, Dr. Van Dusen was the leading
speaker at the Northfield Conference.
There he gave a series of addresses on
the fundamental problems of religion.

JOY IN DANCE IS SEEN

Goodhart, March 27.—Miss
phine Petts is to be highly congratu-



J ose-

lated for the remarkable excellence of
both .t the group
dancing which her pupils revealed in

individual and
their annual recital. The results of
this year’s work as seen in the perform-
ance seemed extraordinarily good,
particularly upon the realization that
this is the first year that Miss Petts
has been in complete charge of the
dancing classes and that many of the
girls have. had no previous experi-
ence in the Duncan style of dancing.
The pupils paid both themselves and
their director a creditable compliment
by their universal skill in the dance
and created for the audience a pleas-
ing and artistic evening’s entertain-
ment,

Last autumn Miss Petts took over
the direction of the college dance
group and’employed:as assistants two

ence Taggart and Miss Elizabeth Con-

studied with Miss Cooper.

verse deserve their share of credit for
the well-directed dancing of the group
and a great deal of praise for the pre-
cision and feeling interpretation of .
their own individual work. Miss Tag-
gart combines those rare qualities of
absolute precision and lithesome grace
spirit that
comes from sheer joy in the dance.
Miss Converse has, like her compan-
ion, great sureness and control and
gives her dancing a poised and careful
interpretation. They, with the stat-
uesque stateliness and strong move-
ments of their leader, a more experi-
enced dancer, created an interesting
and yaried combination whenever the
trio was on the stage. One of the
most attractive features of the Dun-
can style of dancing is that while it
demands great care and absolute mus-
cular control in a unified whole, it
also permits the greatest individual
freedom for the dancers to express
their own style and conception of the
dance and its emotion.

It was a misfortune that this year’s
recital could not be held in the Dean-

Student Officers Confer Here’

Bryn Mawr will be visited this
week-end by delegates from four other
leading women’s colleges, who are .
holding their annual conference to
discuss problems of student govern-
ment. Vassar, Smith, Mount Holyoke,
and Wellesley send three delegates
each—the president for 1934-1935 and
the president for 1935-1936 of Stu-
dent Government, corresponding to
Bryn Mawr’s Undergraduate Associa-
tion, and another college officer, cor-
responding to our President of Self-
Government. The delegates from the
other colleges will stay in the halls
Saturday and Sunday.

These fifteen delegates discuss each
year the questions of social regula-
tions, such as the rules governing sr
cial permission, number of late dates,
smoking and drinking, and the infrac-
tion of these rules, together with the
administration of student government.
Other problems are those of codpera-
tion within the student body, with
which the Undergraduate Association
deals here. At the other colleges there’
are, institutions, such as codperative
houses, which replace scholarships to
a certain extent. Here we have posi-

‘tions as Fire Captain, monitor, ete. ~~~

Miscellaneous subjects for discussion
include the National Students’ Federa-
tion of America, second-hand book-
shops at the colleges, the arrangement

Make Your Voice Heard

There has been a great deal of talk current in this country about
the apathy of American youth in general, and of college students in
particular, to political affairs both here and elsewhere ‘in the world.
Some jrepereussions of this feeling were .observed recently at Bryn
Mawr when the College Council discussed plans for a new student
organization modeled on the Oxford Political Union. If such a union
is organized we feel that a real deficiency in our present college activi-
ties will be eliminated and that we will have taken an important step
toward removing the grounds of a well merited criticism.

Before the new body can be organized, however, we have a real
vpportunity to show whether our interest in world affairs.is as keen
as we would like to believe. On Friday, April 12, Bryn Mawr is joining

- with many other colleges and universities both here and abroad, in a
great student. demonstration. for the causeof world peace.__It-seems
especially appropriate that this event should come at a time when
uropean statesmen are gathering at: Stresa in an attempt to dispel
the menacing clouds of war which have never seemed heavier than they
do at present... Now of all times is the moment when a determined effort
should be made to show the sentiment for peace on the part of every

¢

thinking person.

There are many who are inclined to regard a program,
that which has been planned for Friday, as singularly useless and in-
effective. It is our belief, however, that if enough people raise a united
voice in behalf of a cause, a real impression can-be made on the powers
that be. We do not have to look far back into the pages of history to
find confirmation for this statement, for only a month ago we witnessed
jhe defeat of the proposal for the entry of the United States into the
World Court by the simple expedient of the use of the weapon of well
There is every reason to believe that the pro-
The demonstrations

such as

planned propaganda.
gram for peace can be equally well popularized.
and meetings which are planned for Friday are only an example of
what is being done. The least we can do is to attend our own meeting
in a body and lend the weight of our opinion and of our resolution to
the eause. It has been noted before in these columns that it takes

~ something like the threat of war or the perpetration of some dreadful
deed by the administration in Washington to cause us to rise up and
protest; let us see if we cannot give genuine and enthusiastic support
to this, the first part of the new program to give expression to Bryn
Mawr’s real interest in world affairs.



Exams Again

We wish to say a few words about the examination schedule whieh
was recently posted and which has aroused great indignation. Much

- wrath has been poured forth upon the unfortunate heads of the authori-
ties because of the heavy schedules which, for nearly everyone, are the
result of taking off the last two days of the usual examination period.
It has been suggested by several people that the undergraduates should
he consulted before such upsetting changes are made. We do not par-
ticularly like the present schedule since it involves difficulties for us,
too, but we do feel that it is the only possible arrangement under the
circumstances.

In the first place, the Greek play cannot be given at all unless the
last two days of the examination period are free for intensive rehear-
sals. As the Greek play is backed by the Alumnae as part of the
Million Dollar Drive program, and as it is already well under way, it
nust be produced. Then, too, We have found that there are several

a¢tical difficulties in arranging anyschedule. Just to be technical—
there are eight periods or Sivistoup'ls teptovided for, and since Ele-
mentary German overlaps with’several of these and yet has to have
one examination, it must have a day almost to itself. In the face of
such mathematical problems .we can grieve, but cannot wonder that
examinations ‘all in the worst subjects come one directly after the
other in the. current § schedule. Finally, we see no particular need for
students. to..be consulted in settling each schedule. Usually it is a
' routine matter, and in this particular case there is no alternative otlier

an the one‘adopted. It is, of course, always possible for anyone who
ean solve this problem to go to Miss Gaviller with complaints and
_ suggestions for the better arrangement of the examinations.

WITS END

A MILLION DOLLARS IN A
NIGHT, 9
or

THE SHADOW OVER: DALTON
It was 6 P. M. on Sunday night.
The opium was burning green in the
Philadelphia dope den, and little Hotsy
Hotfoot, the gunman’s delight, was
burning green too. She could feel
the pulsing of her blood down to her
ankles, where it was slowly tearing
the diamonds in her anklet out of their
settings. Across from her Get-Rich-
Quick Arson was snorting and pawing
the ground—breathing forth eee







4/smoke with everf breath.

“Ligs@, moll,” he said, under his
pipe, “get dis troo yer ivory. I ain’t
takin’ none a yer lip—you take dat
ticker an’ beat it’ Hotsy’s little lip
trembled—“Okay, Arse, okay,” she
said, and picked up,a time bomb and
“Okay.”

Ten minutes later Hotsy, with her
little time bomb ticking beside her,
was riding through Narberth on the
Paoli Local. “I can’t do it,” she kept
repeating to herself, “I can’t do it.”
Meanwhile, Arse was busying himself
in the dope den with pen and ink.

At ten minytes of seven, Hotsy, a
pitiful little figure, stepped off the
train at Bryn Mawr. She walked
slowly down the road, her little time
bomb dangling behind her, mumbling.
as she went, “I can’t do it.” She had
a great deal of trouble getting the
bomb (to which by this time she had
become very much attached and had
lovingly named “Sparky’”) up_ the
steps of Rockefeller and across the
campus to the big black building which
stood between Denbigh and Pembroke
East, but finally with a sigh she placed
Sparky on the steps of Dalton. The
tears were pouring down her face, and
she was almost speechless with grief.
However, before she turned away to
take the train back to Philly, she man-
aged to sob—‘‘Pore, pore li’l ‘Sparky
—gee.”



Get-Rich-Quick Arson, back in his
opium den, was at this point giving his
final instructions to Tweet, his pet
wood-pecker. Tweet, after giving
Arse a knowing wink, flew out the
trap door until he came to the statue
of Benjamin Franklin on top of the
city hall. From thence he flew
straight to the College Inn, unruffled.

De. was at 8 o’clock on this
Sunday eve awakened from a sound
slumber by a series of rappings, like



window pane. He leapt from his bed
and ran to the window and opened it.
Without, was none other than little
Tweet, coughing and coughing as if
her little spinal cord would break.
Finally ‘she coughed up a note and flew
away., Dr. F opened it and read:
“GO GET
APPARATUS FROM
DALTON
HURRY!!!
‘ eee :
So he did. He spent two hours get-
ting all the valuable apparatus out of
Dalton and put it in the Library clois-
ters and went home to bed in the Col-
lege Inn, where he slept soundly until
the next morning.





385 happy, healthy Bryn Mawr girls
awoke on the following morning,
ready to greet the sun and eat their
hot cereal. But there are 387 under-
graduate students at Bryn Mawr, by
which we mean to show that two stu-
dents were neither happy, nor healthy,
and they did not greet the sun nor eat
their oatmeal on that merry Monday
morn. At 9.58 they arose, brushed
their teeth, and strolled casually down
to the smoking room, where they heard
a large combination of sounds. They
smoked three packs of cigarettes

the effects of a serious bombing, and
that a large number of crucibles, test
tubes, mortars and pestles, and dis-

cloisters. They turned to each other

‘and blandly said,—‘Wasn’t this “the

day we were to take our Chemistry
and Biology quizzes?” So it was, so
it was. “Unfortunate.” It was then
10.09 in the morning.

As they mounted the stairs to go
back to bed, they turned and saluted
each other and said, “Bryn Mawr owes
us a great debt in the furthering of
its Alumnae Drive.. We must hand it
to Arse—he certainly knows that in-
surance is the best. policy.’ Hail,
Sparky!” *

DEATH EX LIBRIS
(still. going on, but finishing here-

with. The thickening of the plot so:

far is as follows: (1) Mirabel Dodd,
last seen alive on a wintry night cut-
ting across the snow from the library
to Pem, was found dead; (2) Gertrude
Guffey, last seen when gazing upon
the dead Mirabel, also departed this
College Life. .Innumerable _ suspi-
cious characters dot the scene: one
whole crowd in the smoking room, the
gir] at the Reserve Desk, Verona Mal-
lory, the “dark woman” in Mirabel’s
life, and—who knows?—the Dean her-
self. The two unfortunates were poi-
soned. And, kindly remember, the
Dean is baffled.)

The Dean stood awhile in thought.
Julie Finkle had a noteworthy idea
that they might look upon Guffey.
They bore the Dean thence. She look-
ed at the prostrate form. In her hand
was a notebook. The Dean looked in-
side.the notebook. It made no sense.
She looked at the cover. It said,
“Pasven,”.

“Very interesting,” remarked the
Dean, “. . psychology. Let us call
the professor.”

He came. Dr. Dunner was his name.
“Ah, yes,” he said, and made off with
all loose bric-a-brac and books that
lay about the prostrate Guffey. “I
shall go and experiment.”

This the girls: thought a brilliant
idea. They jumped for joy and ran
after him, calling ‘‘Professor, Profes-
sor!” The Dean was left alone. She
did not seem to mind, however.



Dr. Dunner came into class looking
very cheerful the next morning. “I
think,” he said, “‘we need a little air.
I have an important theory to tell you
this morning.

“In connection with the unfortunate
demise of two of your fellow psycholo-
gists I have made an extraordinary
discovery. As you remember, I took
away with me all of the loose objects
in Miss Guffey’s room. I handled each
one, to see if my reactions to it gave
rise to any physical. or mental
changes. I shall spare you the details
concerning my feelings in regard to
her more personal possessions, Final-
ly, however, I came to one of the books
on our assigned reading list: The
Secret of a Hysteroid’s Success.”

The class groaned under its breath.

“And, as I picked it up _and-started
to read through it, I felt rather odd,
ah—perhaps peculiar is the word. I
decided to try it on my guinea pigs. I
set the book down before them and
leafed to page 5. They drew away in

pin I keep for ‘that express purpose.
They nosed over the page. And, one
by one, they fell limp and dead. My
dear girls, it is my express belief that
that book had potassium cyanide
smeared on its pages. What do you
think of that?”

The class smiled knowingly. They
had avoided the book only too well.

After that, action came thick and
fast.

The Dean called a chapel.

Professors Conquer
~~First Varsity, 30-23

Well-Coordinated Faculty Team
‘Overcomes Varsity Margin
Of. First Half

SECOND VARSITY WINS

A larger crowd than “has _ been
drawn by any previous’ game turned
out to witness the Varsity-Faculty

basketball game, which resulted in a
23-30 defeat for Varsity and a 32-19
victory for the second team. The
opening event of the evening was’ the
second team game. They began by
playing girls’ rules and it looked to us
as though the game might be close un-
til they started playing boys’ rules.
Most of“the cheering for both sides
consisted in great roars of laughter
from the spectators, the notable excep-
tion being Dr. Wells. We congratu-
late him on his cheering ability, and
henceforth request the pleasure of
his company in the cheering section at
all college games.

Dr. Dryden: made some beautiful
long-distance throws from_one end of
the field to thé other. However, they
invariably went over the line at the
far end and hence accomplished little.
There was a nice touch when Miss
Brady was called for “dancing” (per-
haps it was “advancing,” but it sound-
ed to us like “dancing”’’).

Boys’ rules were the order, of the
game in the second half. Elizabeth
Washburn was at last enabled to dis-

play her-heretofore hidden talent for
shooting. Thanks to her, our gloomy
prophecies as to what would happen

proved unfounded, and second Varsity
emerged on the long end of a 32-19
score.

“Those girls are darn good,” was the
comment we heard when Varsity start-
ed showing what they could do in the
way of basketball. They were up
againgt more formidable opponents
than second Varsity had been; for the
first Faculty team was far more ex-
perienced and better codrdinated than
was the second. The. girls preved
quicker and more acéurate than the
men, and by virtue of this fact Var-
sity managed to maintain a lead for a
while. However, toward the end of
the second half, Faculty began piling
up the score to secure a lead which
Varsity could not overcome.

Because the basketball was so much
better, the. funny incidents were rath-
er, fewer than they had been in the
second team game. Kent and Dr.
Hedlund had a little game of “Here

Rhys Caparn Shows
Rhythmical Drawings

Student of Archipenko Famous
For Creation of New Forms

In Sculpture





ONE-MAN SHOW SUCCESS



Eight drawings by Rhys Caparn, a
Bryn Mawr student of the class of
1931, are being shown under the spon-
sorship of the Common Room Exhibit
Committee, in-the Common Room,
from April 9 to April 23. Miss Caparn
has had two successful one-man shows
of sculpture and drawings at the Del-
phic Studios in New York, one in 1933
and one this winter. :

After leaving Bryn. Mawr. Miss
Caparn went to Paris where she stud-
ied for one year with the animalist,
Edouard Navellier. She then return-
ed to New York to work with Alex-
ander Archipenko at the Ecole d’Art.
There she so impressed her master,
the world-famous Russian sculptor,
that he wrote a foreword for the cata-
logue of her first exhibition.- He said
in part: “

“The idealism of Rhys Caparn and
her love for the spiritual permit her
to create a new form in sculpture
without losing her ability to sculp in
naturalistic form when she so desired.
She is one of those rare artists who
create lyrical poetry with pure form.

- The lines of her statuettes remind one

more of a quiet melody than of the
anatomical lines of the human body.
“Her art is purely feminine in senti-
ment, but not in the sense of pretty
sentimentalism. Her :work is_ not
weak; on the contrary, it is full of
power, expression, and_ refinement
Rhys Caparn
is the first woman in America who
had courage enough to use the new
combinations of form and line for self-
expression. And in this combination
it is easy to recognize the feeling. we
often find in the music of Chopin.”

Miss Caparn’s genius, then, has pre-
ferred to find its expression in the un-
charted ways of modern art rather
than follow along in the+beaten path
of academic sculpture. One reason
that her drawings rather. than her
sculpture were chosen for this exhi-
bition is that many critics feel that in
them she,has approached more clearly
the completely original expression
that is her ultimate aim.

Every sculptor is. of necessity a
draughtsman, for drawing has the
same importance to him that a note-
book has to a’writer. With the quick
technique of his pencil the sculptor
imprisons the multitudinouss forms of
instantaneous reality to which he lat-
er hopes to give depth and weight in
the more solid material of plaster or
stone. As the subject matter of sculp-
ture is almost entirely the human fig-
ure, most sculptors’ drawings are of
the human body and usually of the
nude; since even in draped figures the
nature of the body underneath must
be indicated. Miss Caparn’s drawings
are even more important to her sculp-
ture than is usually the case, since
she never uses a model when sculping;
she does her figures from drawings
exactly as a novelist. might write his
book from his notes rather than again
appealing to life.

Even with a previous understanding

-of their use, Miss Caparn’s drawings
may at first seem strange to the unini-
tiated. If one is inclined to levity or
superficiality, it is possible that he
may make her drawings a target for
jokes; if one is unwilling really to
give them his attention, he will cer-
tainly find them. obscure. As Mr.
Archipenko wrote in Miss Caparn’s
catalogue, “The more spiritual a work
of art, the more restricted is its circle
of admirers. _This is a banal and

_tragic verity, especially in our time.”

Miss Caparn’s drawings demand a
certain amount of creative imagina-
tion from the spectator. As will be
seen, she achieves her effect largely

“by the lineation of light and shadow,

the shadow being shown in large units
which create a design. In direct op-
position to most artists, she hardly
ever uses a single continuous line to

_ outline a form.

Students of anatomy must not ex-
pect from Miss Caparn a slavish imi-

: tation of the figure. She uses the ac-
asnal contours of the human form as
_ a springboard from which to leap into

the re air of imagination; in fact,
her drawings could be most accurately

eerie 9 Contre ‘Burrows

ag
cath.





in the New York Herald Tribune, her
drawings show a “sensitive, broadly
simplified grasp of form in its more
essential, rhythmical aspects.”

The drawings are in charcoal, later
fixed with a glaze. All those in this
exhibition are, for sale at twenty-five
dollars each.



BOOK REVIEW
A Man Called Cervantes is a bio-
graphical novel by Bruno Frank. It
is a book for such a man as Laurence
Sterne described in Tristram. Shahdy,
a man “whose generous heart will

give up the reins of his imagination

into his author’s hands and be pleas-
ed he knows not why and care’ not
wherefore.” The critic who analyzes
too closely the structure of sentence
and chapter, the skeptic who questions
too much the identity of “this man
called Cervantes” with the historical
Cervantes who wrote Don Quixote,
these will find no enjoyment in the
book. But whoever reads it for its
own sake will enjoy every page.

Of the actual life of the actual Cer-
vantes only a few facts are known.
Yet his personality is so definitely re-
vealed in them and in Don Quixote
that he cannot remain a mere name in
the imagination as he is in reality.
Therefore Bruno Frank has _ supple-
mented the real with the probable and
in A Man Called Cervantes has given
to the disembodied character of Cer-
vantes a body and a long’ life of cour-
ageous but vain adventure.

When Spain was at the zenith of her
glory under Philip, Cervantes auspi-
ciously began his career in the service
of a cardinal]. Then he was no more
related to the soul of his country and
his age than is any man who simply
lives and dies at a _ certain time.
Through sight of kings, however, and
through knowledge of the lowly,
through long captivity, and brief,
proud moments of conquest, he came
to an understanding of the _ spirit
working in him, in his king, dnd in
the world. Philip and Spain, fighting
to purify a faith that no longer ex-

isted except in their vision of the past, }

assumed in Cervantes’ mind the like-
ness of an old knight in rusty, worn-
out armor. He pictured the use of
the world’s gold and the world’s power
to combat a changing, invincible life
as nothing but this knight’s pitiful
Struggle against turning windmills.
Even his own long burning indigna-

tion at injustice and his rash protect- |.

ing of the poor and weak amounted to
as little as deeds of by-gone chivalry
this old man might perform to save a
laughinge rabble that would not be
saved. So Cervantes wrote a book
about his ancient, deluded knight and
called it Don Quixote.

Thus Mr. Frank not only does not
permit Cervantes to roam far from
the book which gives the only picture
we know of him, but he cleverly re-
verses this order of image and model
to make Don Quixote the crystalliza-
tion of its author’s life and age. Yet
not until the final chapters does this
carefully planned revelation of the
elements which made Cervantes’ book
become apparent. Ostensibly A Man
Called Cervantes is written about
nothing subtler than a day-to-day ex-
istence. The growth of the man’s
character from exuberant, clever,
friendly youth to steady, understand-
ing, compassionate maturity seems at
first no more important than his ac-
tion in the battle of Lepanto, his slav-
ery among the Turks, or his restless
lovemaking in Italy and Spain. Philip,
grimly struggling to-keep the whole
world Catholic as himself; the Span-
ish peasants starving proudly under
his taxes, whom the wealth of an em-
pire could not satisfy; the brilliant
pear simply as background for the
humble man called Cervantes. They
are, however, necessary as Cervantes
himself for the formation of Don
Quixote; yet even if no ‘such purpose
lay behind the color and the plot, there
would still remain a _ fast-moving,
sturdy book of adventure.

If the plot is submitted to too rigid
an examination, it is true that faults
of proportion can be discovered. A
Roman cardinal, for example, is intro-
duced into the story and well settled
there long before Cervantes makes his
humble entrance, although it is only
for this entrance that the prelate is
there at all. Then, after the cardinal
has become familiar and dear, he is
thrust out of the story with merely
the briefest explanation. .In causality
as well as in proportion there are
flaws, for coincidence is used to ac-
count for so many events that Pecctenan





belief cannot help but waver. Al-
though the style is usually so clear and
straightforward that it is forgotten
in the narrative it tells, an occasional
far-fetched adjective and more fre-
quent broken, inharmonious sentences
prevent the complete smoothness that
could be desired. Yet to notice these
imperfections too much is foolish. The
book is not meant for an exercise in
elegant prose nor in precise plot struc-
ture; it is designed to tell the exciting
tale of a man.called Cervantes who
wrote a book called Don Quixote.

sion of the Strike Situation with spe-
cial regard to the relation of strikes
to the codes for the various industries.
This talk more or less pursued the
general topic which was the basis of
all last year’s conferences centering
around a Study of the Interpretation
of Section 7a in the Codes for Indus-
tries. Soon afterwards Mr. Mullins,
a British Labour Party representative,
spoke to the group about the general
subjects of Strikes. He was particu-
larly interesting because of his ad-
vocacy of passive resistance as a wea-
pon by which workers may be able to
get results in conflicts with owners.
Passive resistance means that the men
go to the mills as usual, but instead
of working, sit idle at their machines
and produce nothing. If this method
is used efféctively, the resistance of
the owner is bound to be_ brokén
down.

Dr. Miller, lecturer on Anthropology
here, was the next speaker. He dis-
cussed the Tennessee Valley Author-
ity, mentioning particularly its impli-
cations for labor. He stressed the ex-
cellent treatment of workers in the
living accommodations and the work-
ing conditions.

The lawyer for the workers involved
in the Textile Strike here in Philadel-
phia this fall, Mr. Symes, was the
leader of the next discussion. He em-
phasized the relations of labor in gen-
eral, and textile workers in particu-
lar, with the NRA. In the discussion
which followed ‘this talk, an interest-
ing first hand view of what a strike
means to the people involved was ob-
tained from several of the workers
present at the supper.

The latest meeting was devoted to
a talk on The Dangers of Fascism by
Mr. Feinestone. He. discussed this
question with particular regard for
the things which had caused the
growth of Fascism in other countries.
He then showed which ones were ap-
plicable to the United States and in
this way adequately attempted to
measure the menace of Fascism.

Theatre Review
In Flowers of the Forest, Kath-
erine Cornell again proves her ability
to bring a character in a play. to emo-
tional, vibrant reality: Miss Cornell’s
acting is fluid, meticulous, unerring.
The play itself, besides being an ex-
cellent vehicle for the actress, is a
moving: and intelligent drama. The
plot is rather slight, but the splen-
did dialogue, the characterization, the
timeliness of the theme, and the whole
tone of Flowers of the Forest com-
pensate amply for the several qui-

escent scenes on the stage.

Flowers of the Forest is the story
of a woman whose life was_ broken
by the war and the death of her lover.
With a great effort she has built up a
pleasant existence in a marriage based
rather upon mutual interests than
upon romantic love. Into this exist-
ence, in-one day, break a great many
references of her wartime lover, Rich-
ard Newton-Clare. The second act of
the play turns back to the past, show-
ing Naomi’s love for the young poet,

,and her grief and bitterness at, his

change from patriotic Young England
into a disillusioned man. The last act
of the play returns to the present,
where through the interesting device
based upon the assumption that all the
sounds in the world are not lost but
waiting to be recaptured, Naomi finds
out Richard’s. last words.

The changes from present to past
and back. again .are accomplished
smoothly and realistically. The de-
vice by which Richard’s last words
are recaptured is found in a young
man, Leonard Dobie, who is subject
to fits of delirium, during which he
repeats sounds which he can never
have heard—sounds caught from the
past. The scene in which Leonard dis-
closes Richard’s words and his last
poem, expressing faith in Naomi and
a plea against war is, while a bit
melodramatic, made credible by the
acting of Miss Cornell and Mr. Mere-
dith.

Flowers of the Forest is an appeal
against war, not in the usual sense,
but -in its characterization, its revela-
tion of what war did to Naomi. The
full realization, of the injustice and
uselessness of war is expressed in the
characters of Naomi and Richard, and,
in a lesser degree, of Mercia, Naomi’s
truculent sister. By its emotional and
intellectual appeal, Flowers of the
Forest shows “clearly the cruelty of
war by exhibiting its effect rather
than its actuality.

Playing the role of Naomi, Miss
Cornell sustains her characterization
by every gesture, expression, and tone
of voice. She makes an art of im-
mobility, as in the last act, where she
sits motionless, listening to Leonard’s
revelation. In the second act, both in
her love-scene with Richard and in her
discovery of the depths of his disil-
lusionment, Miss Cornell makes the
most of every opportunity for drama
and emotion without ever becoming
melodramatic and without overacting.

The rest of the cast are extremely
capable.
the part of Mercia, Naomi’s sister,
gives a realistic portrayal of a rigid,
uncompromising person, - intolerant
and brusque. Her harrowing scene
with her fiance, Tommy, her complete
denunciation of him as_ unpatriotic
when he suggests that the Germans
may be suffering just as much as the
English, is highly effective and ex-
tremely well acted, both by Miss Gill-
more and by John Emery, who is
memorable, even though his appear-
ance is very short. Hugh Williams,
as Richard, is competent, yet his char-
acterization somehow lacks personal-
ity. Moffat Johnston, erstwhile Bish-
op of Within the Gates, gives a sym-
pathetic and capable performance as
Lewis Jacklin, Naomi’s husband. Bur-
gess Meredith as Leonard Dobie, the
boorish young genius, who is trying
to cram every moment left to him
with knowledge becomes much more
than’ a mere device. Charles Wal-
dron, Alice Belmore Cliffe, and Bren-
da Forbes give quite skillful perform-
ances as the Reverend Percy Hunt-
bach, Mrs. Huntbach, and Lewis’ sec-
retary, Beryl Hodgson, respectively.
The two settings for the play, The
Jacklins’ living room, and the vic-
arafe, are carefully planned to coin-
cide with the mood and tone of the
play. The lighting, especially in the
last scene, is effectively done.

Flowers of the Forest is notable
chiefly for Miss Cornell’s acting and
for its sustained tone. Although the
action is several times so leisurely as
to be non-existent, especially in the

first act and the first scene of the last
act, the play throughout is einotional
and infinitely appealing. The. last
line, “The glory.is inliving, not in
dying,” which is also the last line of
Richard’s poem, expresses the theme
of Flowers of the Forest—a theme
that is ever-present, yet not empha-
sized to the exclusion of all else. For
its emotional quality, its characteri-
zation and acting, its tone and its im-
plication, Flowers of the Forest is
well worth seeing.

She progressed to her next point.
“When such crimes cause death they
must be outlawed. Miss Guffey was
a good student. Miss Dodd — Miss
Dodd should never have taken a book
unsigned from the Reserve Room. I
have less to say of her. I believe I
have spoken of that evil before. To

until the guilty person confesses to de-
facing our college equipment.”

Verona Mallory rose, shaking to her

feet. ‘“I—I have an exam tomorrow.
I—I did it. But—oh—let' me have my
privileges.”

The Dean was pleased: she was no
longer baffled. “I shall see you later,”
she said, kindly, but firmly.

“T_T did it only to let the rest of
Dr. Dunner’s class have a chance to
read The Secret of a Hysteroid’s Suc-
cess. They needed it, oh! so badly. I
didn’t mean to murder two. I only
wanted to get it away from Guffey.”
She sank. into the red plush of the
back row of the first section.

And that night, as the undergradu-
ates chased the salad course around
the college chinaware they took a con-
structive attitude. “Let us,” said
they, “get up a petition. We must
have Verona Mallory stay in college.
Otherwise she will transfer to State
U and study to be a librarian. Let
us sing our Greek cheer to the just
retribution that has been visited upon

Guffey.”
Their Sweet voices rose_in song.

“Of course, the book AND slip are
gone!”
The bitter student said,
“The way.some gals can gyp the
rules!—
No wonder they’re well read.”

“Tut, tut,—all books must be renewed
Each two hours of the day.”

“But I’m a good girl,—no one wants
That book now anyway.”

The Lib quite reeks with such
remarks,
And still the battle rages
Between enforcers of the law
And those who think they’re sages.

ELEGY IN HONOUR .OF THE

The stairs have never seemed so long
Nor half as slow to climb,
As when she knows that it’s eight past
And she won’t be on time.

She stands before the fatal door
Thinking, “I must go in;

But. dare I beard the lion’s den
And take it on the chin?”

The monitor looks very glum
And sadly shakes™her head,

So quietly the culprit turns
And cuts her class instead.

Oh woeis me, alack a day,
That this has come to pass.
She has to go without her milk
So she can go to class.
Cheerio—

reader for the Theatre Guild, an-
nounced, like Miss Carroll, that “there
has never been a time when there is
such an eager demand in the theatre
for the work of new, young play-

There is no room in the world today

Guild is especially interested in the
first plays of young playwrights, and
is willing and eager to codperate ‘in
re-writing these plays so that they
will conform to the technique of the
theatre. Writing for the theatre is
the most technically difficult of all the
arts, and untrained talent in this line
is as bad as trained non-talent. A

understand the effect ofthe theatre on
a written play. Therefore, training
in writing plays, usually through col-
lege courses is necessary. A truly. ex-
cellent course in playwriting is given
at Columbia by Miss Lathani, and
Mrs. Block herself gives a course in it
at the New School of ‘Social Research.

Miss Mabel Gfeen, who covers trials
for the New York Sun, asserted that
there is. opening for women in
journalism, but that there are at pres-
ent about two women ‘reporters to
every seventy-five: men, and that op+
position to engaging women as report-
ers still exists. The women have to
be extraordinarily talented, and they
should not go into journalism merely
as a stepping stone to something bet-
ter. It is the last stand of the indi-
vidual—the one field that lets the re-
porter say what she wants and what
she feels so long as she sticks to the
facts. The best way to start is on a
small town newspaper, and, although
Miss Green said that she did not wish
to. oppose schools 6f journalism, she
felt that actual experience on a small
paper was more valuable than train-
ing in a school. Work on a college
paper carries absolutely -no weight
with the City. Editor, and if the City
Editor says that he has no opening's
it is better to take his word for it than
to come back and arouse his opposi-
tion by harassing him. It is not nec-
essary to go to a small town to ‘find
work on a small newspaper; there are
many, and many of the best, such as
the Bronx News, in New York City.
Their names and the places where
they are published may be ascertained
through consulting Ayres Ne wspaper
Annual and Directory.

Mr. George P. Ludlam, of the Na-
tional Broadcasting Company, said
that writing for the radio at the pres-|¥
ent time was not a profession, but a
trade. Everything that goes over the
air, even supposedly extemporaneous
chuckles, must be written into the
script. Most.of the radio writers have
started by doing stenography and typ-
ing, but if the writer breaks straight
into the field, he is started in by writ-
ing short announcements between the
programs, is promoted to writing mu-
sical notes, and then is allowed to try
his hand at short bits of dialogue and
skits. Radio is not yet an art, but
there is‘a new movement to use music
almost as.a third voice in spoken pro-
grams, and the greatest opportunities
for young writers lie in devising ways |
of developing this movement.

Art of Motion Picture
To be Seen on Campus

The Museum of Modern Art has or-
‘ganized an active motion picture de-
partment which will assemble and cir-
culate programs of significant films
for exhibition in museums and colleges
in order to. trace the development of
the art’ of the motion picture. This
is the only great art peculiar to the
twentieth century, yet it is practically
_ unstudied by the American public who
are -most capable of appreciating it.
Several colleges have already organ-
ized courses on the history and ap-
preciation of the motion picture, and
the Museum has received many re-
quests to bring non-commercial exhi-
bitions to many of them. Bryn Mawr
has now been offered an opportunity
to take part in one of these exhibitions
swith Haverford this spring, and if the
movement is a success at its first per-
formance, a complete series will be

The Museum plans not only to sup-
ply the films that are of great im-,
portance in the history of the art or

are particularly valuable aesthetically, |’

but also to provide data and program
notes for their better appreciation and
understanding. Exhibitions elsewhere
have been highly, successful and of
great interest. Before the films can
be brought for the first exhibition, a
minimum of fifty girls must agree lo
attend the showing of the film as a
guarantee to the Museum. All those
who are interested in the exhibition



are asked to hand their names to
members of the committee, which in-
cludes: Juliet Baldwin, chairman;
Helen Harvey, Anne Kremer, and
Helen Fisher.

Man, a short old comedy and a short
abstract film, so that in a single eve-

development of the art in its different
fields. The date and further details

Attendance at morning chapel for
students at Harvard: University
averaged 638 daily during the past
year.

A physics class out. at the Univer-
sity of Montana: was being instructed
in the laws of the solar system. A
pendulum hanging from the ceiling
was set to swinging and its path was
marked on a flat table.
hours members of the class were
shown that the angle of the pendulum
to the marked course had changed, in-
dicating the turning of the earth.

“Gosh,” a young freshman said as
he made his way out of the room,
“Gosh, but I felt insecure.”

After a few.



Out of the six outside games

played, only one was lost. That match
was lost to Rosemont. The Rosemont
team has always been the strongest of
Bryn Mawr’s antagonists, and this
year they ‘turned out a team which
surpassed its predecessors in speed
and team-work as well as in accurate
shooting. But in spite of being up
against superior players, the. Bryn
Mawr team played a fast and steady
game which was a great improvement
over the earlier matches.

Although the Varsity won the Ur-
sinus game by a close score, their
playing seemed inferior to that of the
opposing teams. Their scoring was
done in streaks, and moments of good
playing were few and far between,
whereas the Ursinus team _ played
steadily and evenly.

A definite improvement was shown
in the next game against Moravian.
Varsity showed that they had taken a
step upward in both teamwork. and
shooting when they raised a score of
59 points. —

The next game was against the
Philadelphia Cricket Club. Again we
saw an all-round improvement in the
team, with the forwards taking first
place in good playing.

Varsity met stiffer rivals, in- the
game with Mt. St. Joseph, and their
usual overwhelming victory was re-
duced to a lead of only five points.
The forwards were harder pressed in
this game than in any of the former
ones; consequently they soon tired and
their rate of shooting decreased.





In the Swarthmore game the for-/

wards returned to their usual stand-
ard: of shooting, and once more th
end_of_the game saw. Varsity with a
strong lead.

But this serfés of victories was
brought to an end in the final and
most exciting game of the year—the
Rosemont game. This match brought
a sad conclusion to an otherwise ‘per-
fect season, and it is with regret that
we saw the season over and realized
that next year we will be without
three of our best players who gradu-
ate: this year.

A two-man team from Emory Uni-
versity will-represent the National
Student Federation in a five-week de-
bate tour of leading English universi-
ties this spring. Sailing during the
second week in April, the Emory ora-
tors will spend three weeks abroad.

Last season the University of West
Virginia supplied the talent which
made its mark against England’s most
prominent student debaters.. Due to
the success of the southern accent
during that tour, it is expected that
the Emory team will be well received
on the British Isle this year. _

Smoking Restrictions Explained

Goodhart Hall, March 7. —At the
Mass Meeting on the Thursday before
Spring Vacation, Susan Morse, Presi-
dent of Self-Government, discussed the
question of undergraduate violations
of the smoking rules. Of late the in-
fractions of these rules have grown
more numerous and the issue has be-
come quite a problem.

It was felt that if the students were
informed of the history of the smok-
ing rules and if the reason for their
existence was pointed out, perHaps
there would be a better understanding
of the necessity of enforcing them:
When it was decided a few years ago
to permit smoking in the dormitories
there was mu¢h discussion over what
would happen to the people who dis-
liked smoking. It was decided, there-

left guard jfore, that smoking in the halls should

be confined to one room which all stu-
dents could use, and that there should
be absolutely no smoking in private
rooms.

More important than the question
of the personal comfort of the non-
smokers was the fire risk involved if
students were allowed to smoke in
their rooms. The college has had six
fires in five years, and it was felt that
the risks of further conflagrations
would, be tremendously increased if
this were permitted. Not only is the
replacement and refinishing of dam-
aged furnishings costly, but the ex-
pense of the additional insurance is
prohibitive.

It is planned to have more rooms
provided in the future for smokers,
but in the meantime the students will
have to be content with the. present
accommodations. Unless the under-
graduates abide by the rules, extreme
measures may have to be taken.

enough and to be explained not only
by the reflection of new economic con-
ditions in the country, but also by the
development of methods of adult
teaching, seemed marked enough by
the spring of 1934 to make the Board
of Directors believe that a statement
of the present purposes of the School
by the Board of the Summer -School
was necessary, and, apart from neces-
sity, would be valuable both to School
and College. The Boa#d of the School
responded last April by a re-state-
ment for the purposes, This statement
was accepted by the Board of Direc-
tors of the College as a formal act on
the part of those responsible for the
Summer Schools in accordance with
which the session of 1934 would. be
conducted.

The School had the six weeks’ ses-

‘sion which its’ reduced: income made

possible. After the session was com-
pleted the criticisms of it indicated
that many thought~that the statement
made in the spring by the Summer
School was not in all respects carried
out in practice; in the first place that

oy, difference of ‘opinion occurred as to

the meaning of the statement and sec-



ond..that. to some degree the objective
approach to the subjects under discus-
sion was disregarded, thus weakening
the educational value of the School.
The questions connected with the re-
organization of the School seemed to
the Directors of the College, though
by no means impossible; complicated
and difficult, and the answer made by
the Summer School Board to their let-
ter proposing such reorganization
seemed to them only one step in what
would probably be a long discussion.
The outcome of this discussion is im-
portant enough to: both School and
College to need every advantage of
time and information: The Directors
have therefore decided on an inter-
mission of the School on the college
campus in 1935. They propose a ser-

“Patriots” Boo Six College Heads

Boston, Mass. April 2.—An Amer-
ican Legion-Elks clique booed and
hissed six Massachusetts college pres-
idents who protested the passage of a
teachers’ “loyalty” oath bill before a
legislative committee on education
here today.

The proposed law, similar to the
Ives Law in New York and those in
effect in thirteen other States, requires
an oath of dllegiance to the Constitu-
tion to be taken by all Massachusetts
One of the “anti-red’’

the country by the American Legion,
the Elks, the D. A. R., the S. A. R.
and the Hearst press, this bill, claim-
ed by its proponents to be the only
way to “combat the rising tide of com-
munism,” has been vigorously opposed
throughout Massachusetts by teachers
and students.

James B. Conant, of Harvard; Kar}

| T. Compton, of M. I. T.; Stanley King,
of Amherst; Rev, Louis J. Gallagher,
of Boston College; Ellen F. Pendleton,
of Wellesley, and Daniel L. Marsh, of
Boston University, were the six presi-
dents. who attended the legislative
hearing to oppose the bill on |. the
grounds that it was “a club to be used
on teachers. for other than ‘loyalty’
purposes,” that it is “the surest way
to destroy public faith in the consti-
tution,’ that it is designed for “no
positive. good,” that it’ is “‘unconstitu-
tional,” that it “cast the imputation of
disloyalty on educators.”

An audience of “patriots,” most of
them: Legionnaires, listened quietly to
proponents of the bill for an hour and
a half, but warmed up when the col-
lege presidents spoke against © the
measure, hissing and boéing each as
he rose.

Dr. Payson Smith, State Commis-
sioner of Education, was threatened
with the loss of his job when he ex-
pressed his opposition to the bill.

ODAY people all over the world use

tobacco in one form or another. :
They chew it, they smoke it in pipes,

they smoke cigars and cigarettes, and here

is what an eminent physician said about

cigarettes: :
“*I have been something of a student
of cigarettes, and it is my belief that
they offer the mildest and purest form
an which tobacco is used.”















Yes, nowadays the cigarette is the most
popular form in which tobacco is used. A
good cigarette certainly gives men and
women a lot of pleasure.

Have a Chesterfield—

For one thing—they’re milder.

For another thing —they taste better.
