“Tonight we work on climaxes,

Mrs. Manning to Talk
On Various War Aims



The Alliance will hold a meeting
Tuesday, December 8, in the Com-
mon Room. Mrs. Manning and
Mrs. Cameron will both speak on
the general topic of a “Year at
War,” dividing the subject between
them. It isto be a survey of our

various war aims and ideals, and
the changes which they may have
undergone during the past year.
Mrs. Cameron’s talk will also con-
cern parties in the conquered coun-
tries. The speeches will be fol-

Rare Book Room Displays Valuable Folios,

Collection of Books

From Old Aldine Press



(Extract from Miss Terrien’s ar- |
- ticle in the December “Alumnae
Bulletin.” )

Valuable examples of the Aldine
Press are now on display in the
Rare Book Room. Five rare Greek
folios have been presented to Bryn
Mawr by Mrs. John Dozier Gordan
(Phyllis Goodhart, 1935), and Mr.
Howard L. Goodhart. The gifts,
important in the history of 16th
century typography, are examples
of the editiones principes of Greek
authors, which according to San-
dys, make up almost one quarter of
the output of the Aldine Press be-
tween 1502 and 1516. They should
provide a splendid nucleus for a
16th century collection.

Our exhibition begins with the
Julius Pollux which was printed
and edited by the master printer
and scholar in Venice in 1502. The
clear black type set. between gen-
erous margins makes a beautifully
balanced page .and the _ spotless
condition of the whole tome is at-

; tonishing when one considers that
“Tis over-400+-years—old.--The ab-
sence of the original covers is to be
deplored but at the same time the
gold-tooled levant binding, the
work of C. Kalthoeber, is a delight.
The Thucydides, also edited and

printed by Aldus in 1502, is bound
in old calf and differs from the
other gifts in having illuminated

initials. The Rhetores Graeci of
1508 is an Aldine which has now
become exceedingly rare. It be-
longed at one time to the British
Museum which has retained a du-
plicate. The Hesychius, printed in
1514 and edited by Aldus and Mar-
cus Musurus, was once the proper-
ty of the Academy Library in Lei-
den. It is bound in blind stamped
vellum and has rough leaves
throughout. Finally, there is the
Deipnosophistae or Banquet of the
Learned, of Athenaeus. Printed in
1514 and edited by Aldus and Mu-
surus and bound in sprinkled calf,
it has the most ingenious title page
of all the volumes. It bears the

author’s name in Latin and below:

this is a short description of the
work in Greek which is typograph-
ically arranged in: the form of a
goblet.

In addition to the folios men-
tioned above there are two owned
by this library. The Theophrastus
is the fourth volume of the famous
five volume set of Aristoteles,
which was printed by Aldus in
1495-98. It was given to Bryn
Mawr by Mr. Wayne MacVeagh in
November 1886. We do not own
the other volumes of this set. An-
other folio, the De Deo of Marcus

us by Mr. Howard L. Gray. It was

B. M. Defense Group
Formulates Aims for
Victory and Peace



Geology Lecture Room, Novem-
ber 24.— The American Defense,
Bryn Mawr College Group, ap-
proved a new set of principles and
elected officers in its last meeting.
The exact function of the group
was also discussed.

The principles adopted were as
follows:

1. The war is an international
war against international fascism.

2. The immediate task of the
United States is the total organi-
zation of its resources in order to
achieve victory.

3. Successful prosecution of the
war and the establishment of peace
requires the full cooperation of all
the United Nations.

4, It is important to create a
better \understanding of our allies,
particularly of Great Britain, Rus~-
sia and China. We must resist all
attempts to cause misunderstand-
ing among us,

5. Protection of the political
freedom and economic security of
all our citizens is an essential part
of the democracy we are defending.

6. We accept the aim of the At-
lantic Charter to respect the right
of all peoples to self-government,
and. to give them access on equal

terms to the trade and raw mate-

Presentation by Pem West
Reveals Clever
Directing



By Anne Denny, ’43

Shipley Gymnasium, Friday, No-
vember .27.—The second group of
Freshman plays was presented by
the two Pembrokes and Denbigh.
The high standards of talent and
energy of last week’s performances
were sustained, -

The Constant * Lover, cleverly
presented by Pem West, proved to
be an interesting but difficult play
to produce in such an experimental

manner.; Pat Franck, as Eveline
Rivers, showed a good deal of
promise as an actress, and Pat

Stevens, as Cecil Harburton, clev-
erly |carried off the comedy... Lynn

Haden’s direction was excellent and :

with an-. unfortunately ‘limited
number of rehearsals achieved a
masterpiece of timing.

The success of the Pem East
play, The Trysting Place, by Booth
Tarkington, lay more in the comic
situation which the author created,
than in the players’ ability. Al-
though the technique was not fin-
ished, their spontaneity produced
an amusing piece. Ruth Lester as
Lancelot Briggs had the. largest
-_part and did the most toward set-

Gay..Weekend Planned
With Play and Dance

The College Dance, which will
follow the presentation of Hotel
Universe, promises some diversion
for quizz-weary undergraduates.
|It will contribute to a festive week-
end for all and morale will no
doubt shoot sky high. The dance
itself, Bryn Mawr’s largest fall
function, will take place in the
;fymnasium amidst Christmas dec-
lorations and a blithe atmosphere
of Noel.

A local college orchestra, led by
Tom O’Conner, of Penn’s Sigma
Chi Fraternity, will provide the
music. Admission is two dollars
for couples and one dollar for
stags. :

Miss McBride, Miss Ward, Miss
Grant, Mrs. Chadwick-Collins, Sal-
ly Matteson, and Graham Hobson









will be patronesses. Mr. and Mrs.
Broughton, Mr. and Mrs. Latti-
more, and Mr. and Mrs. Miller

will be chaperones.

From eleven o’clock until two
o’clock, music, laughter and the
swish of formal attire will float
from the Gym, and woe unto poor
unfortunates grinding out papers
in blue-jeaned solitude!





British Navy Takes Umpi

ire’s Breath Away,

Thinks Fouls Are “Funny,” Prefers Lacrosse



By Jacqueline Ballard, °43

Bryn Mawr Hockey Field, Sat-
urday, November 28.—Bedecked in
checkered shirts, blousy shorts, and
high socks, officers of the Royal
Navy, Royal Naval Reserve, and a
lone Royal Marines captain en-
gaged in the most regal hockey
game we have seen. These British
fighting forces were also equipped
with the most gigantically danger-
ous-looking cleats on. their football
shoes,

Two teams, the Greens and the
Yellows, generously divided up the
sea-farers and sprinkled a few Var-
sity players and athletic novices at
Bryn Mawr hockey in the line-up.
Before the Greens could catch their
breaths, the Yellow forward line
had sent two goals to their mark.

The British officers had all play-
ed hockey before, but it had been
English hockey, a brand which, if
indulged in here, would send eleven
players of a team per game to the
hospital. Even the most perverted
Nazi cannot say that the British
don’t fight, and we cannot say that
they don’t prefer to mix their hock-
ey with a strong flavor of lacrosse.

The ball whizzed knee and ear-
high from one end of the field to
the other, while’ the less hardy fe-
male members of each team were
occupied in frantic ducking ‘games.

wi TS Y
mae AS

The British daringly stopped the
ball with their hands and feet—a
custom apparently well established
in English hockey law.

The officers’ unfamiliarity with
and total disregard of American
rules caused the umpires to stop
| wasting breath on whistle-blowing.
The British had no conception of
dangerous hitting. One officer
making a supremely dangerous hit
was grounded by the force of his
effort. When the shriek of the
whistle interrupted play, he won-
deringly exclaimed, “These Ameri-
cans are funny. This is the first
time I’ve had a foul called on me
for sitting down!”

Rationing
The ieee of rationing is increasingly intruding on our daily
lives. With the extension of rationing we are glad to cooperate, but
we are disappointed in the piecemeal way in which this country has

handled the question.

Instead of profiting by England’s mistakes and by improve-
ments of their rationing system, we seem to be sluggish about a full
realization of the problem:,. England found.early in the war, that
fationing would eventually\apply to more commodities than sugar,
and universal ration cards were initiated. Over there the govern-
ment also succeeded in. producing action-on the-rationing question
before rumors instigated either widespread ill-effects on morale or
extensive hoarding. They realized that legislation was necessary to
prohibit violations such as hoarding‘and Black Markets.

With England’s experience as an\object lesson, why has Ameri-

ca allowed rumor to precede facts ?

For instance, the present rumors

concernirig meat rationing are not only confusing, but detrimental to

war-time morale.

time luxuries, a fact evidenced by many present-day polls.

The American people are willing to give up peace-

But we

ask for a definite system of universal rationing — a system on which

we can rely.

Again, in the coffee rationing question, the problem of hoarding

became serious.

While the system was being worked out, rationing

was instituted through the individual grocer, but meanwhile, rumors

encouraged housewives to hoard.

With the rationing of butter and other milk products ahead of
us, we are wondering why the manpower shortage and the resultant
farm-products shortage could not have been foreseen in time for a
system of rationing to include these products to be maugUreted be-

fore the actual shortage occurred.

Living in an institution like Bryn Mawr, we do not realide the
problems of the housewife, but we, like any private family, are sub-
ject to rationing.” We should not leave all consideration of the prob-

lem to the college Business.Office.

We should be aware of this im+

portant factor in war-time morale which applies to every citizen of

the country.

OPINION







Keeping Traditions Outweighs
Senior War Bond Purchase

Readers Assert
. To the Editor of the CoLLEGE

NEWS:

It has beén suggested that the
class of 1948 dispense with various
senior traditions in order to pur-
chase a war bond with this part of
the dues. Although such a plan is
based upon good, sufficient, and pa-
triotic reasons, we do not approve
of removing all of the senior tra-
ditions.

In the first place, democracy de-
mands respect for majority deci-
sions as well as defense of its
rights. Since the above plan was
vetoed in a recent class meeting,
we recommend that most of these
traditions be kept but their ex;
penses modified, as the senior class
then decided.

It has also been objected that
such expenses, cause inflation. But

ef

>
LY



the girls who advance this criticism
continue to buy new lipstick and
non-essential clothes and to go to
the movies, without realizing that
these activities also cause inflation.
Until they are willing to renounce
all such private pleasures, they are
hypocritical and inconsistent in
their position.

Although the college traditions
do not contribute directly to the
war effort, we feel that it is not yet
advisable or necessary to suspend
them completely. If they are not
kept alive now, it will be difficult
and artificial to resume them after
the war.

Nuts and Bolts

By Jessie Stone, °44



A remarkable coincidence in the
history of college newspapers is the
similarity of subject matter in the
editorials of The Radcliffe News
and The Mount Holyoke News.
Both papers wrote about them-
selves,

Radcliffe called its editorial “The
NEWS ‘Staff: Its Function.”
Mount Holyoke’s was headed “One
For All And All For The News.”
Although the editorials are not cal-
culated to arouse sympathy, they
will doubtless be greeted by smil-

ing nods from collegiate newspaper
editors and business staffs through-
out the country.

According to the Radcliffe paper
“the News is one of the most near-
ly professional of all college activi-
ties.” While Mount Holyoke asks
us to “Consider a moment what the
campus would’ be without a news-
paper!” This rhetorical request
may not have been without unflat-
tering answers.

Nevertheless, there are points
put across by both editorials which
deserve expression on occasion. For
example, the work behind the print-
ed “page, the “most conspicuous
part of the paper,” as Radcliffe
puts it, is seldom recognized by the
entire student body. Remember the
advertising and circulation staffs,
which haven’t the by-lines, but
make them possible.

Mount Holyoke’s editorial intro-
duces a thought that seldom occurs
to newspaper staff members, let
alone the reading public. Turning
out a newspaper becomes rather
automatic, in the sense that the
staff never thinks about the impor-
tance of the publication of campus
information. The Mount Holyoke
News reminds us that “In its pages
weekly are . ... . items of infor-
mation necessary to our daily life
here, as well as information de-
signed to acquaint everyone with
everything.” The ability of a col-
lege paper, or of any paper, liter-
ally to “acquaint everyone with
everything” may be questioned, but
the purpose is valid.

One of the editorials was written
to welcome new staff members, the
other to push a subscription drive.
It is regrettable that such motives
are needed to produce this type of
editorial.

some of her best material.

“In comparison with the modern

Cornelia’s bout with measles is

Mother and Father were waiting

In London they find an old Bryn
Mawr girl, “one of those brilliant
scholars far too intellectual to be
concerned with creature comfo
whose rooms, in better days, “must
have housed the tweeny and the
second foo .’ Here they buy

thirty dollar versions of ermine

evening wraps, and try to ignore
the taxi driver who says, “Right



you are, Snowball.” A night passed

+

at a house of ill repute, recom-
mended all unknowingly by Moth-
er, passed without incident, though
Cornelia felt dimly that they didn’t
fit in with the ton.

Neither did she fit in with the
bedbugs at 6 rue Demours. Unable
to utter the word bedbug, Emily
and Cornelia race to the American
Drug Storé for help. There they
meet one of their families’ oldest
friends. |

“‘What do you mean?’” Miss
Orr asked sharply. ‘Cornelia’s in
trouble physically?’

“ “Well, she was .
tacked last night.’

“Miss Orr grabbed Emily’s arm.
‘Where?’ she asked hoarsely.

“In bed. We just moved in to
the pension yesterday and we

didn’t know about it.’ She meant
the bed.
“Miss Orr groaned. ‘Oh, these

French!’ She had turned very
white.

“We don’t want to tell her
mother and Mr. Skinner’
Miss Orr nodded her head violently
in agreement, but seemed incapable
of speech . , . ‘but we thought we
could get something at the Drug
Store . . because she’s really
very badly bitten.’ ,

“T thought. Miss Orr was going to
faint, but Emily decided it was het-
ter to keep on to the end.

“And isn’t there something that
will keep them from coming back?’

“*Yes’ she insisted.

Short Pauses Seen Few and Far Between

When Amateur Broadcasters Are Let Loose



By Patricia Platt, ’45
Think well before you broadcast!
Amateurs can’t make the grade.
The Haverford station sounds calm
enough when gushing into the

Common Room, but who knows
what goes on at the other end?
For example, one .volunteer to
announce a program makes the
perilous trip laden with records,
more records, and schedules, and
meets with a three flight pant to
a box-like room'in darkened Union
Hall. “Are you running the pro-
gram tonight?” “No, there isn’t
any announcer.” The calmness of
the technicians is a miracle. The
boy with the ear-phones consumes
stack after stack of records. The
place is solitude incarnate. At
7.80 four youths in plaid shirts
dash in, fling themselves around
the mike, and after a lulling inter-
lude about flowers, furiously pass
the buck by insulting Swarthmore.
7.45 records: What goes on at
eight? It’s changed. Sh!! Re-
sult: the innocent volunteer finds

herself arranging .one program
while announcing another,—and on
top of it all we can’t get B. B. C.
The record consumer is ravenous.
We’ve run out of violin solos?
We'll say that Paderewski is by
popular request. That’s the red
light—record is over in ten sec-
onds. ;

By now solitude is no longer
possible. Someone official has ar-
rived! This is not all. There are
two Chinese and one Japanese stu-

dent who are going to interview}

each other, and vice versa and vice
versa. One is helpful’ (a “fresh-
man), one impressive (a Chinese),
and one impassive (the Japanese).
They surround the volunteer, still
grimly planted in front of the
mike. None of them says anything.
By now many others from heaven
knows where have drifted in and
are reclining spine-wise. The room
is very,\yery smoky.

Release Stealthily the volun-
teer departs,, while the technician
holds finger\'to lips. Well, he had
some fun, anyway.

Faculty Award Prize _
To Merion Freshmen



Continued from- Page One

Laurels go to The Princess Mar-
ries the Page, the judges say, be-
cause of the coherence of all parts,
the smooth quality, and the results
of excellent direction. The Merion
Freshmen handled the difficult job
of fantasy well, keeping the illu-
sion throughout.’ To the runner-up,
Pembroke West, the judges ex-
pressed their admiration of the ef-
fect achieved despite considerable
troubles and a play which is more
readable than actable.

The other plays, as Miss Hen-
derson said, were “dramatically in-
teresting,” needing, perhaps, more
time for rehearsal. In some cases,
the Freshmen in choosing their
plays, may have been “stretching
their necks,” going slightly beyond
their scope. The judges, taking in-
to account the severity of the task
as well as the finished product, ad-
mired and encouraged their
choices. Calling the plays a fine
chance for the Freshmen to win
their spurs, Mr. Sprague voiced
the opinion of the judges that they
“hoped the Freshmen plays would
settle down into becoming a tradi-
tion.”

Barbara Williams’ : performance

as the page in Merion’s: play was
~ commended by Miss Ward in the
judges comments on characters.
Miss Henderson admired the panto-
mining ability of the Butler in
Rhoads’ Shall We Join the Ladies,
and the Host in the same play who
masterfully implied a sinister yet
reflective quality to her perform-
ance. Also commented on by Miss
Henderson and Dr. Sprague was
' the work of Miss Franck in The
Constant Lover, in doing an arti-

rials of the world, maintaining that
these aims extend to the people of
every continent.

7. Without attempting to pre-
dict the specific form of organiza-
tion to be worked out, we declare
our acceptance of American share
in responsibility for enforcement
of the peace and for the develop-
ment of an international order
based on justice for all men. (The
rewording of this principle is un-
der consideration).

8. Racial equality should be a
stated principle of the peace.

Miss Stapleton was elected chair-
man of the group, Mr. Diez, treas-
urer, and Mrs. Nahm, secretary.
Mrs. Manning, Mr. Wells and Mrs.
de--Laguna were made additional
members of the executive commit-
tee.

At the beginning of the meeting
there was a discussion on the ques-
tion of whether the group had ful-
filled its original purpose and
should dissolve.

It was suggested that the group
disband and leave only a small
staff to continue in case a need for
such a group should arise. After
discussion, it was decided that the
organization would continue in its
present form. It would not at pres-
ent plan any definite activities, but
would volunteer to take over any
project which would benefit by its
assistance.

Continuing Norwegian
War Effort Described

stated Mr, Host, and it took place
under cover of darkness, while
thousands of “German Tourists”
had been pouring into the country
for weeks before. In spite of the
small population of pen three
million people, Norway reSisted the
aggressor for 62 days, causing the
loss of 80,000 Nazis and the de-
struction of one-third of the Ger-
man Navy. This resistance delayed
action on:the Western Front for
some time.



surprising shots were shown on
the Battle of Narvik, which was
the first Nazi defeat. Scenes of
guerrilla warfare in combat dem-
onstrated the indomitable fighting
spirit of the Norwegians. Exam-
ples of the horror of Nazi invasion
were found in the wholesale de-
struction of villages and towns.

The importance of the constant
resistance of the Norwegians on
the home front was stressed by Mr.
Host, because of the drain of Ger-
man man power, for policing the
conquered country. About one per
gant of the population is pro-Ger-
'man.
| Norway’s. Merchant. Navy, the
fourth largest in the world, is play-
ling an indispensable part in the
Allied war effort. After the inva-
sion, the Merchant Navy proceeded
immediately to Allied ports, with
the exception of twenty per cent
captured by the enemy, of which a
good proportion later escaped. At
present, the Norwegian Merchant
Navy is transporting about 40 per
cent of Great Britain’s oil and gas-
oline, and, with the money earned,
is taking care of the upkeep of the
Free Norwegian Government in
London and the training of pilots
in Canada. The Merchant Navy is
also helping to build up a Free
Norwegian Navy larger than the
former Norwegian Navy. A Nor-
wegian army in Britain plays an
important part in commando raids
on Norway and France.

The second reel, dealt with “Lit-
tle Norway,” the camp of the Royal
Norwegian Air Force in Toronto.

In the reel on the invasion, some.

85 cents an hour from 11.00
till 12.00 P. M., and 40 cents

After the defeat of Norway thous-
ands of Norwegians escaped across
the North Sea to England or Can-
ada.- At Little Norway they re-
ceive extensive training in flying,
military skiing and other kinds of
warfare. The planes used are
American, purchased with money

‘from the Merchant Navy and with

contributions from South American
countries and several of the United
States.

Scenes of life from the camp
showed the men under training and
participating in classes of physical
culture. After intensive training,
they are sent to England where
they have proved invaluable in 116
raids over Europe. During the
Dieppe Commando raid, fifteen per
cent of the German aircraft de-
stroyed was demolished by the ef-
forts of the R.N.A.F. Norway
will not give up fighting, asserted
Mr.-Host.

Room, by Dorothy Echerman. This
performance seemed to prove that
comedy is more easily handled by
freshman talent than melodrama.
Although this more serious under-

the three plays, it was obvious that
a great deal of available talent was
unused. Pat Franck as Anna was
the most consistently finished per-
former in a comparatively small
part. Mary Lou Karcher and Bet-
ty Sheldon,’ as Ruth and Helene,
sustained the climax of the argu-
ment between the two girls with
energy. The characters of Stanis-
laus and Madame _ Blackman,
played by Betty Hoffman and
Mary Ellis Woolever, were not
given the sensitive interpretation
the parts demanded.
