Change Suggested
For New Schedule
Eighty-five Per Cent Want’
Reading Period and
Paper Plan
In an attempt to determine col-
lege sentiment on the proposed
changes in the curriculum, the
NEWS conducted the following poll:
1. Are you in favor of a sched-
ule of two quiz periods, one before
Christmas vacation and one be-
fore spring vacation; with a two-
week reading period in place of
mid-yearsand-a—three-hour final
exam at the end of the year?
2. Do you think that such a
schedule would be applicable to
a. your major?
b. all-courses?
38. Do.you approve of the
a. three-hour final exam?
b. two-week . reading period
for individual work?
c. plan to distribute papers
over four specific periods?
4. Do you believe that opening
the college year one week earlier
would be advantageous?
Of the 334 people polled, 200 fa-
vored the new plan, and 134 op-
posed it. 251 believed it would be
applicable to their major, and 81
said it would not. 58 per cent of
those polled thought it would be
applicable to all courses. 68 per
cent approved of the three-hour
final exam; 85 per cent approved
of the two-week reading period,
and 85 per cent approved of the
plan to distribute papers over four
specific periods. Only 46 per cent
wanted an extra week added to the
college year.
language *ajors favored the pro-
posed plan, 68 per cent of the ‘so-
cial science majors, and 48 per cent
of the science majors.
One of the most striking fea-
tures of the poll results was that
of 19 chemistry majors questioned,
15 were against the new plan. The
main objection. to the proposed
change was the compressing of the
whole year’s work into one final
three-hour examination. From
comments, it was gathered that

College Magazines Can Be Fresh, Strong,
Exciting; Why Aren’t They, Asks P. Weiss
Specially Contributed by Mr. Weiss
A college literary magazine pro-:
vides a unique opportunity for ex-
periment and expression. It has
no tradition to uphold, no money
to make—nothing to hinder it from
being alive and fresh, radically
honest in spirit and novel in re-
sult.
Its contributors are at an age
where ideals are still precious and
clear, and experiences, as old as
the ages, have a distinctness which
later sophistication blurs. The
college magazine ought to be one
. of the main centers.of college life,
at once reflecting and directing the
activities of people at a period of
maximum freedom, growth, con-
creteness and excitement.
The promise of later literature
ought to be-found in the college

Fenwick Will Speak
On Inter-American
Relations April 16
Mr. ‘Fenwick, professor of po-
litical science on leave, a member
of the Inter-American Neutrality
Committee of the Pan-American
Conference, will arrive in Bryn
Mawr April 7th for a short visit
during the committee’s recess. He
will lecture Wednesday, April 16,
on “Inter-American Relations” as
observed during his work in Rio
de Janeiro.
Mr. Fenwick has recently pub-
lished a report on the committee’s
procedure in 1939-1940. In this
first year, immediate problems of
organization and jurisdiction have
been settled. Advisory recommen-
dations touched on “incidents” af-
fecting the neutrality of the Amer-
ican States, such as the scuttling
of the Graf Spee. Although the
committee has laid down some spe-
cific rules for enforcement of the
security zone, no concrete codifica-
tion of a neutrality law has yet
been attempted. The practical
value of such a code in the present
lawless and anarchical war would
be negligible. There is no “fu-
ture” for neutrality, and no com-
promise possible between the rule
of force and the rule of law.

And Paper Problems
Discussed by Council
March 19.—Discussion at the
College Council
ranged over coordination of cam-
pus relief work, plans for defense
activity, curriculum problems, pre
Freshman Show. hazing and the
use of Mayday costumes.
It was suggested that reélief |
work might be organized under the
Bryn Mawr League. Appropria-
tions, formerly from the Peace
Council budget, would come direct-
ly from the Activities Drive. Ex-
tra-curricular defense courses, such
as first aid, motor mechanics; and
a possible statistics laboratory
course might also be coordinated
with the relief work.
Further discussion of defense
activity brought forth the sugges-
tion of a student organization
parallel to the faculty defense
group.
The next step in the process of
reorganizing the schedule of the
college year, it was reported, will
be to send out a questionnaire to
the faculty, in order to get infor-
mation on the quiz and paper prob-
lems of each course. The possi-
bility of limiting the number of
papers required of a student was
suggested. Each department might
take more responsibility for the
paper-writing of its majors. Fewer
papers and better papers seemed
a good idea. An extra week added
to the college year in September,
with no addition to the content
of the year’s courses, was also dis-
cussed with general favor.
It was felt that the practical
joking and general hilarity before
Freshman Show had got out of
bounds. this year. A mass meet-
ing of the Undergraduate Asso-
ciation was suggested; at the
meeting it will be emphasized that

The Bryn Mawr Public Library Spreads
From Twelve Chairs to Memorial Building
The first library in the village of
Bryn Mawr was started in 1916
with a collection of twenty books
and twelve chairs, both wedged
into one small room of. a building
behind. the present Merionette
Diner. Even after such an incon-
spicuous beginning, however, the
prestige of the library increased
rapidly. 1918 was a red letter year
—the library moved to a position
on the Pike, the Milestone building,
| now the Florentine shop. There
the first paid librarian was en-
gaged. Now there are three li-
brarians always on duty. In 1920,
the library migrated again, this
time to a large room and a por¢h
in the War Memorial and Commun-
ity House. “When funds dwindled

as a source of information for its
students. About the walls are
typed reading lists for the various
grades. Many personal books have
been given to the library, generally
second hand copies from family col-
lections. Twenty-five or thirty
best sellers are presented each
June by the local Woman’s Club.
A branch, open once a week, is
maintained in the Bryn Mawy, hos-

Wrap It Up and

What we’re fed up with is spring.
We've had fifteen tryouts and
they’re all about spring. Someone
has seen their first robin some-
where; the pale blue under your
eyes is changing to a deeper, richer
hue; and the anthracite is. bloom-
ing in the Lackawanna Valley.
People keep pointing to the cro-
cuses. The crocuses have been
there since Christmas and the cold
spell didn’t do them much good
anyway.
We know that all springs means
is a new pair of sneakers and re-
quired sports. Out of sixteen
springs this is the worst. What
we’re fed up with is people lean-
ing out of windows in audible
ectasies, with being smothered at
night because we’re on the side of
the hall where the wind never
comes. We’re fed up with navy
blue, watery sunshine, mud, and
obnoxious whistles.
We’re fed up with polls too. And
we are not going to conduct a poll
about whether or not you like
spring because at this stage of the
game we don’t care. If you dis-
cover a tri- bar, whistle - throated
crimson cardinal, just keep the
fact to yourself, and don’t bother
us about it. And if they decide to
import an aviary of Portuegese
nightingales for a Midsummer
Night’s Dream we don’t want to
hear about that either.
Whether that is the warbling of
the robins or the mice nibbling at
the wainscoting we can’t be sure,
but we’d put our money on the
mouse to win any day..{ Our friend,
the common earth worm, is ap-
pearing now and the biology peo-
ple will soon be dissecting repul-
sive rabbits. A nightmarish qual-
ity envelops our embittered ex-
istences, and if anyone offers us a
jellybean we may scream. And
now that we have ground out this
last paragraph we hope that this
will finish the subject of the
weather, and that goes for any
weather, inter, fall, summer,
spring, until they have to pass
game laws to preserve the spar-
rows.

the middle of the story is very |
good. I get practically nothing
from Joan Gross’ “Portrait” or
Dorothy Counselman’s “Poem.” I
grasp only part of Hester Corner’s
intention in her well-cadenced
“Fish Wednesday.” —I--know, of
course, that Olivia Kahn’s “Rock

of a geology trip in what I sup-
pose is a satire, but I did not learn
what that spirit was. I know, too,
that Pennell Crosby’s “The Times
We Had” relates some incidents of
school days, but I do not see why
it should.
Most of these would have been
considerably improved had many
of the adjectives been cut out, some
of the sentences broken up, and
simple words occasionally used. But
to improve the Lantern as a whole
and make it the significant force
it. should. be, something else is
necessary. There must be a con-
cern for concrete, homely matters,
within the reach of everyone,

The important thing now “is to
discuss, talk about, and fight for
peace,” according to Miss Ely, a
member of the Philadelphia branch
of the Committee for Federal
Union. With these words she
handed me a pamphlet entitled The
Essence of Union Now, by Clar-
ence Streit. “I often carry this
book with me,” Miss Ely explain-
ed, “and when people see it they
esting?’, and-in that way the word
gets around.”
League’s Defects Remedied
Miss Ely knew Mr. Streit when
he was a New York Times corre-
spondent in Geneva during the days
of the League of Nations. She
says that even then he was evolv-
ing his plan for world organiza-
tion.
She was more than sorry that
the United States did not go into
the League, and believes that our
absence was the League’s greatest
weakness. Another weakness was
the emphasis placed on the sover-
eignty of the states. Both these
defects, however, have been rem-
edied in the new plan. Because of
the experience gained from this
first attempt, said Miss Ely, it will
be much easier to form a new world
organization,
Provisions of Union
The purpose of Union Now is to
form a union*of thosé countries
whose people are guaranteed the
Bill of Rights. The union would
provide for a common citizenship,
common defense, free trade, stand-
ard currency and common com-
munications, but would leave each
nation to pursue its own form of
government within itself,
As it happens, the present de-
mocracies which would be likely to
be interested in this plan are the
‘United States and Great Britain.
Miss Ely emphasized that the pro-
posed union is not one of the Eng-
lish-speaking nations alone. Be-
fore the war there were ten coun-
tries suggested as a possible nucle-
us, most of which have now been
swallowed up by Germany,
Immediate Program
The only thing that the com-
mittee can do now is to discuss the
| problem and try to get people ac-
tively interested, so that when the
time comes for deciding upon con-
structing a peace, there will be a
determined and informed public to
speak for a federal union. Miss
Ely thinks that no concrete action ©
to push it through Congress should
be taken now, because it might be-
come an issue which would be con-
fused and misinterpreted by many
people as merely a means to help
England win the war.
“It’s my own personal hunch,”
she said, “for which I have abso-
lutely no support, that President
Roosevelt may take the lead on the
war aims.”
The plan for Union Now has
met with marked approval from in-
fluential and well-known people in
both England and the United
States. ‘People say that it is im-
possiljle,” Miss Ely said, “but I
think that it’s a matter of habit,
just, like any reform. Like the
eight-hour day, for example. Peo-
ple would soon get used to the idea
of world’ organization and wonder
if a little while why it had not
been propounded sooner. Most
countries Bek up. to. the United
States as an ideal sort of govern-
ment. With such a model this sort
of union could be done on a much
larger scale,”

Modern Dress Julius Caesar
Produced by Swarthmore
Theatre Club
By Nancy Evarts, ’43
Swarthmore, March 21. — Last}
Friday evening the Swarthmore
College Little Theatre Club, fol-
lowing rather closely in the foot-
“steps of Orson’Welles;~-presented:-
Julius Caesar in modern dress. It
was a considerable undertaking for
young and inexperienced actors,
but although the performance was
uneven, the experiment proved well
worth making.
The actors, for the most— part,
served as competent vehicles for
Shakespeare’s lines, although the
play is of such beauty and strength
that it could have carried itself
with very little help from them.

Paul Ousley as Mark Anthony were

especially convincing, playing their
parts with admirable restraint.
They were at their best in the
speeches made over Caesar’s body.
Mr. Ousley gave an interesting con-
ception of Mark Anthony’s complex
character, showing it to be at the
ed and dove, kicking the water in
fountains. It was all done again
with candles, and three times they
circled the pool with the subtle
lights in their hands. Some par-

lines too quickly and jerkily, and
the pace could have been more’
varied with greater effect. But
the rendering of the speeches was,
on the whole, satisfying.
This standard was not maintain-
ed, however, in the gestures, for the
actors seemed unable to unify their
roles so that the action supported
the lines. They continually made
small, ineffectual motions
their hands; never did they achieve
a really powerful gesture. Watch-
ing them move, one was always
aware that they were college boys,
a little ill at ease and unnatural
on stage. This. fact was perhaps
given an unfortunate emphasis by
the modern dress, which made them
appear as they would offstage.
In. costuming, use of shadows
and contrasted lighting, and the:
handling of the murmuring and
motion of the crowd, the produc-
tion was skilfull and effective. It
resembled that of the Mercury
Theatre, with a Fascist Caesar
striking attitudes before black-
shirted followers, and Brutus and
Cassius conspiring together in busi-
suits.
Much of the interest of the pro-
duction was undoubtedly due to the
fascination and power of the play
with which Shakespeare had al-
ready provided the producers, but
the tremendous, overflowing energy
which they brought to the perform-
ance contributed greatly to its suc-
cess. If the overwhelming burst
of this energy had been toned down
a little, if everything had been
slower and smoother, perhaps it
could have been a more uniform
and coordinated presentation.

| The Aquacade, actually, was an
immense success. The precision
of the intricate crossings, the neat-
ness of the raft and star forma-
tions, the rhythm of the strokes
were remarkably reminiscent of
the show’s namesake. Out of the
bevy of beauty, it was hard to rec-
ognize individuals, but the coordin-
ation and smoothness of the paired
swimming of Natalie Bell, ’43, and
Carol Coan, ’48, was outstanding.
Athleen Jacobs, ’41, Lucia Hedge,

splendidly.
Of course, there were occasional
stranglings, chortles, and semi-
drownings, yet the total effect was
so good as to suggest the untold
possibilities of light opera on
waves.
M. Williams Outlines
Assets for Librarian
Common Room, March 20.—“To
be a librarian today,” said Miss
with) Mabel Williams, speaking on li-
brary work as a profession, “one
must be interested in people as
well as in books.” She stressed
the fact that libraries are no long-
perfectly blended. The entrances
of the different voices so necessary
for the feeling of continuity in
Palestrina were executed with ac-
curacy, and the shading was deli-
cate and expressive.
In Bless the Lord, O My Soul by
Bach, one had the feeling thatthe
voices were too strained, but the
last selection, The 150th Psalm by
Franck, in which the men’s voices
were particularly clear and re-
sounding, brought the program to
a triumphant close.
Miss Helen Rice, Athleen Jacobs
and Harriet Case, playing violin,
flute and piano, respectively, gave
a pleasant performance of the Ada-
gio from Bach’s Brandenburg Con-
certo No. 5.
er stereotyped, but that each is
adapted to the interests of the
community which it serves.
Miss Williams explained that it
is possible for college students to
get summer jobs as substitutes in
the New York Public Libraries by
applying to Franklin Hopper, chief
of circulation. To become a regu-
lar librarian you must have a de-
gree from graduate school. Any
specialized knowledge you have will
be valuable when you are trying
to get a position, for there are
special libraries now for many dif-
ferent fields, such as music, art,
science and medicine.
Miss Williams, who is most in-
terested in the work being done
for children and adolescents, de-
scribed means used to’ get them
acquainted with books and the li-
brary. Most city libraries now
have special children’s rooms with
books attractively displayed. The
librarian must not only charge the
books and suggest reading to the
children and to their school teach-
ers, but she must conduct story
hours and help the children to give
puppet shows and dramatizations
of their favorite books.

At the meeting on Friday after-

spoke about the defense work
which the faculty is doing. Helen
MacIntosh told the council of the
growing interest on campus in con-
ditions outside college, especially
in relief work, and of the simul-
taneously increasing attehtion to
college problems: the activities of
the Bryn Mawr League and of the
Curriculum Committee, and the
idea’ of three-college cooperation.
There is a prospect, she said, of a
closer relationship between the
colleges, between students and
between the different departments.
Marion Gill spoke more specif-
ically on the need at Bryn Mawr
for a course in practical art. No
student could fully understand His-
tory of Art, she said, without her-
self meeting the problems which
confront an artist in his work.

City Lights
By Rebecca Robbitis, ’42
Philadelphia, an eager, young-
minded, progressive city, expanded
so rapidly that it neglected details
like sewers. And anyway sewers
have nasty connotations.
Little children drown in Bur-
holme because there’s nothing to
do with the annual forty inches
of rainfall. Valuable cows get
stuck “in the--mud— in” Eastwick,
where there aren’t even any, gut-
ters leading to the non-existent
sewers. Olney is beautiful. The
streets are wide and- paved, and
they have curbstones. But Spring
| is liquid in Olney, and hard on your
shoes,
In view of this situation, the
Budget Committee of the City
Council has proposed sewer rents.
Maybe because the Council, with
the interests of the city sincerely
at heart, has so long been wishfully
thinking that there are sewers, that
now it thinks there are. I. don’t
know.
This need for practical experience
is not answered by the Art Club,
for its existence is too precarious.
She suggested that a course in
practical art be given for labora-
tory work to supplement History
of Art, and pointed out that the
possibility might be realized either
by exchange of instructors with
Swarthmore, or by application to
the Carnegie Foundation.

New Major Plan
By Isabel Martin, ’42
Yale University is introducing a
new plan of interdepartmental ma-
jors to be offered to the students
next year. Both the students and
the faculty fear a narrowing in
the outlook ofathé.present student,
who limits ioe too much to his
one field “orto one aspect of his
field. The faculty feels that at the
“present time itis the duty of the}
University to give the student a
clear notion of what the past repre-
sents, and, by this, to help him to
see why the best of the past is
worthy to survive in the future.
They also want to help the student
to formulate his ideas of the mod-
ern world based on the experience
he has been able to gather from
history.
The fields of study which can
best help the student to strengthen
his outlook and philosophy of life,
are the natural sciences, philos-
ophy, classical and modern litera-
ture. The new interdepartmental
majors will emphasize the connec-
tions between these subjects. They
will help the student to unite this
with a breadth of outlook necessary
in the world today. “To under-
stand the world and oneself” is a
fitting educational motto, and this
can best be carried out by an in-
tegration of the experience of the
past with the present.
One interdepartmental major is
that of French and philosophy, in-
tended for those who are interested
in the idealogical and philosophical
background of one of the great cul-
tures of the world. French, history
and history of art will also be re-
lated. Other fields are Far East-
ern Cultures and the coordination
of the sciences. The field of great-
est interest is that of Government
and Philosophy in which the con-
nection of law and politics with
philosophical] thought will be stress-
ed. Courses on comparative gov-
ernment and political philosophy
will be essential to this field of
study.
The senior doing such_major
work will be required to write~ an
essay in which he will work out his
own understanding of the subject
and organize his ideas independent
of course work. Final comprehen-
sive examinations will complete the
study. The program, Yale Univers-
ity faculty state, is -not-as-complete
as could be wished, but as complete
as they now can offer. It is hoped
that in a few years this plan will
be greatly extended as new depart-
ments and other colleges see op-
portunities for a richer and more
useful education.

Room for Old Books
Gift of Class of 1912
As a reunion gift, the class of
1912 is refurnishing the former
New Book Room as a place in
which the old and rare books be-
longing to the college can be ex-
hibited. The room, which will re-
semble as nearly as possible a
private library, is to be completed
in June.
Shelves of cypress wood, printed
linen curtains and a Persian rug
will be background for two dis-
play cases, containing the library’s
collection of incunabula, or books
printed before the sixteenth cen-
tury.
The college collection of old books
is, according to Dr. Herben, “quite
respectable.”
The oldest book is an almost in-
tact quarto probably printed in
Ulm about 1470, which was in the
Bodleian before being purchased
and presented to Bryn Mawr. A
Theophrastus represents printing
in Greek before the sixteenth cen-
tury. It was made by Aldus at
‘Venice in 1497. The collection, of
sixteenth and seventeenth century
volumes is more extensive and in-
cludes “a superb and excessively
rare” Plautius folio and an Eng-
lish folio Beaumont and Fletcher.

forwards, for her.years on former

she was thrown careful passes by
the Varsity guards!

was on; for as Captain Nahm said!
(in half-time when the neatly-|
dressed - in - Yellow - and - White -
forwards asked him what to do)
“if you can manage it, all five of

that is what happened. Berry and
Faris and Lattimore threw the ball
around in the air, Nahm furrowed
his way through the blockade of
hands, arms, and feet to gain a!
great deal of ground, but somehow ,
neither side scored.
The Varsity guards were not in-
timidated by the Faculty, freed
now from the obstruction of girls’
rules. Stokes, ’41, was in the
midst of every tussle, and once
found herself dragged a quarter of
the length of the floor; but she
still had her share of the ball.
In the eleventh hour, with the
game at feverish pitch, the faculty
set the game for Broughton’s de-
cisive field goal.
