Mr. Dryden Shows Fossil
Specimens at Lecture





; ‘United States Once Populated by
- Dinosaurs, Elephaiits



Sun Room, March 9.—Mr. Lin:
coln Dryden, of the Geology Depart-
ment, spoke on Fossil Graveyards at a
meeting of the S¢eience Club. The
lecture was illustrated by specimens of
various fossils. Mr. Dryden defined a
_fossil ‘as the remains or trace of
something that once lived. “He used
the term “graveyard” to describe a
place where many animals or plants
were buried at some past time.
«The, first .. fossil, remains ,.shown

formed a piece of the ornamental
stonework on Goodhart Hall. This
fragment broke off, and when taken
to the Geology Department was found
to be Indiana limestone. It consists of
the calearious remains of countless
small animals living in the shallow
sea which at one time covered the
middle part of the continent. These
fragments ,and bits of broken shell
can be seen under a hand lens.

«Later in geologic time came the
dinosaurs, which ‘varied widely in size.
Their remains are found chiefly in
the western Great Plains region, in
arid land. where their bones can be
plainly seen on the surface. The

to a large and enthusiastic audience.
this the
troupe sailed for India to establish an
All-India Center for the Dance in Be-

Following performance,

The program consisted of simple
folk. dances, traditional religious
myths characteristic of the Hindu
race, and an impressive dance-drama
concerning incidents in the life of the
god, Shiva. The accompaniment, writ-
ten for them by Vishnudas_ Shirali,
was furnished by musicians .on: the
stage. The use of drums.and gongs
as a prelude to several numbers set
the scene for the daiices that followed.

In all the dances there was ‘a re-
strained but, at the same time, a
continuous flowing quality of move-
ment. Jerky transitions of tempo and

of feeling, while the hands, employing
the Mudras er symbolic gestures, told
the basic theme of the stories.

Shan-Kar’s dancing is said to be
the greatest refinement of that art to-
day. In his first solo number Kama-
Deva, he moved with an effortless
grace that was excellent in its con-
trolled expression. Even in the war
dance, Kartikeyya, he was restrained,
although the impression of strength
and power was clearly perceptible.

Dancing of a more dynamic nature
was supplied by the young Madhavan,
whose solo dance was a marvel of dif+
ferentiated movement. Continuing a
steady motion of his hands, he varied
his steps, technique.and rhythm, never
losing control of the hand motion,
nor of the opposing body movements.
Simkie,. a French member of the
group, was small, lithe and graceful.

PHILOSOPHY, ENGLISH
ARE HUBENER’S TOPICS



Gustav Frederic Hiibener, professor
of English at the University of Bonn,
will give two lectures on philosophy
‘and English. The first, Phenomenol-
ogy, will be under the auspices of the
philosophy department in the Common
Room, March 19, at 8 p.m. All stu-
dents are invited. On Monday the’
second lecture, entitled Beowolf and
Heroic Exorcism, will take place in the
Music Room at 5 p. m. Mr. Herben
recommends it particularly to all stu-
dents interested in literature and folk-
lore.

Professor Hiibener studied at the
Universities of Munich, Paris, Berlin,
Edinburgh and Gottingen. For some
years he was professor of National
Economies at K6onigsbtirg, and later
taught English at the Universities of
Basel and Bonn. He has published
varied critical works, among them
England and the Moral Foundations
of Early European History, English
Philosophy, and Stylistic Tension in
et TOK tas

His investigations of heroic litera-
ture have taken him literally all over
the world, and his theories on the sig-
nificance of certain epic situations are
of the greatest importance. At the
present time Professor Htibener is on
a, sabbatical year which he is spend-
ing in Canada. Bryn Mawr is for-

tunate in-having him speak here as
he is making a few lectures in this
country.

Alumnae Council Holds
Meeting in New Jersey



District Representatives Deplore
Lack of College Contacts,
Inactive Graduate Clubs



(Specially ' Mary
Whalen, ’38.)

The Alumnae. Council convened on
Thursday, March 10, for an informal
session at, Mrs. Parker’s house in
Orange, N, J., where they were wel-
comed by Mrs. Ruth C. Streeter, 718;
their hostess for the weekend, and
Mrs. Ida L. Darrow, ’21, president -of
the association. At the Friday morn-
ing session the seven district coun-
cillors gave their reports.

Mrs. Elizabeth L. Mendell stated
that the New England States were
exceedingly. active’ and that their
chief complaint was lack of contact
with the campus. Two solutions were
suggested to solve this problem: that
the faculty and college officials be
sent a list-of those cities where there
is a Bryn Mawr Club functioning, in
order that they may be entertained
when they travel to any of these
cities; that a representative be sent
from every club to the alumnae week-
end; and that the class collectors also
attend annually. ne

Mrs. Streeter reported °¢ on 1 the” five
clubs in the Widdle Atlantic States.

Miss Ward Announces
Changes in Room Rents



New System Will Attach Rents
Of 100 Dollars to Student,
~ Not to Definite Rooms



Musie Room, March 15.—The prin-
ciples on which room rents are as-
signed were outlined in a morning
chapel by. Miss Julia Ward,
Dean of the College.

that the aim has been to keep the

Acting
She _ explained

100 to 550 dollars, in each hall, and
also to keep an approximate uniform
distribution of rooms at-each rate.

One-quarter to one-third of all col-
lege rooms are priced at 100 dollars.
However, there is often a shortage of
bthese rooms available to the incoming
class, because pndergraduates who
could afford more expensive rooms
choose the 100 dollar ones for various
personal reasons. The college has been
forced arbitrarily to change the rent
of some rooms in order to supply the
desired number at each price in each
hall: .Miss Ward pointed. out that
this leads-to more and more -diserep-
ancies between the rent and the de-
sirability of particular rooms.

The theory of the new system is
“to attach the rent to the student, not
to the room”’s» A» largenumber of |
rooms in each hall have been priced
at 200 dollars. All’students who. can-
not afford to pay more than 100 dol-
lars, are strictly required to make
out a formal application, if possible
before Spring Vacation.

These applications will be checked
by Miss Ward and the Scholarship
and preliminary halt
draws for the 200 dollar rooms_will
be held between students whose ap-
plications have been approved. They
will occupy the rooms at ‘a rent of
100 dollars, while ‘ any remaining
rooms in this group will be open to
other students at 200 dollars.

IS EXCELLENT CHOICE



Goodhart . Hall, Mareh 12.—Good
Gling, good costuming andsgood stag-
ing -made a success of this year’s
I'rench Chab play, Jl ne Faut Mrrer de
Rien, by Alfred de Musset. Its one

obvious. fault was the actors’, frequent
need of prompting. The play itself
was an excellent choice, beautifully
constructed: and very funny. Musset’s
theme, as M. Jean Guiton, the diree-
tor, phrased it, was “the young~se-

ducer seduced.”

Jane Nichols, who played Valentin,
made an extremely handsome and
winning hero. Her acting has im-
proved since she played the male lead
in Moliere’s l’Eeole des Maris. last
vear. She gestured confidently and
delivered her lines with spirit. The
part of Van Buck, Valentin’s rich and
long-suffering uncle, taken by
Priscilla Curtis, who did a good job
of charaeterization. She was subtler
and more restrained than she has ever
been,

Boone Staples, as ia Batcnne de
Mantes, who successfully hides a
heart of gold from all but her daugh-
ter until the last act, dominated all
the scenes in which’ she took part.
Whether haughtily regarding the
Abbé, or approving Valentin’s love
lettey to her daughter, she was con-
vineingly funny. She and Van Buck
were good comic contrasts, the auto-
cratically domineering versus the vul-
garly explosive. Typical Baronne re-
action was her immediate acclaim of
Valentin as “tion ‘gendre”’.,when she
discovered him ‘with her daughter at
their midnight rendex-vous.

Statement on International Coopera-
tien Discussed



Pembroke West, March 14.—Louise
Morley, ’40, was re-elected president of
the Peace Council at their first meet-
ing underthe new constitution. Helen
Cobb, ’40, was elected secretary for
the coming year.

The main business of the meeting
was to discuss whether they would
sponsor the statement of the Philadel-
phia Committee for International Co-
operation for Peace. This statement
repudiates America’s isolation-rear-
mament policy concerning foreign af-
fairs, and calls on the country to take
its place as an active member in “in-
ternational cooperation. This proced-
ure, the statement continues, can be
the only means to “stop the forces of
war? and vitalizesthe principles ‘of-in- ~
ternational morality.”

Copies of the statement "have
already been circulated in the city 'to
obtain individual signatures, and were
then sent to Washin Every mem-
ber--of-.the Council has been given a
copy and individual signatures will be
solicited on the campus. The deadline
for these copies of the statement is .
the 21st of March.

The Council, as a body, is not taking
a stand of collective security imme-
diately, nor_will. the individual_signa-
tures necessarily indicate the .opin-
ion of the College as a unit. But as
an educative and administrative body,
the Peace Council will assume the duty
cra atures.

Plans for the remainder of. ‘the.
semester’s activities were outlined by
the president, and will be discussed at
further meetings. Members of the
new Peace Council are:the following:

In Memoriam |

Jeanne Crawford Hislop, ’



Ave Atque Vale
Most of the seniors who held offices this year are in the noman’s-
land between total ousting and a nominal participation in official

affairs.

Gradually they are tossing the reins of government into the

tremulous hands of juniors, and ascending to a Valhalla where they
ean drink the nectar of intellectualism. We should rejoice for them,
but we cannot, because we are angry. We are angry with Time, who

wrenches senior classes away yearly, and makes them alumnae.

We

have a sentimental attachment to the seniors, and we are being forced

to jostle them rudely, to make room for ourselves.

They are not alum-

nae yet, but they are about to step carelessly into the familiar state of
nothingness that Time lays as a trap every April and May.
After painstaking study and observation of the present situation,

we feel free to prophecy that he will set the trap again.
to stop him is to stop the elections,

The only way
and erect a timeless dormitory in

the air above Senior mh soba seniors can accumulate in perpetuum.

Down with alumnae!

wn with Time!

referendum to determine the removal of Taylor bell.



Plebiscite
The editorials which are produced tirelessly every week in the
College News supposedly reflect a certain amount of eampus opinion;

if they do not reflect it, they should at least provoke it.

Our weekly

"hope is to see the postman staggering under letters which undergradu-
ates have written, approving or disapproving our editorial suggestions.
But the majority of students are apparently too busy to write letters,
and their opinion, if expressed at all, is confined to sporadic smoking-
room discussions, which become sparser as the suggestions are gradually

forgotten.

Some of our schemes have died a natural death, some have actually
been adopted. The busts, for which we crusaded with such spirit,

were a lost cause before we started;

the reorganization of Greeks’ per-

mission went unheeded.~ On the other hand, the Peace Council consti-
tution was modelled along the lines we suggested. At the moment, there
are three issues hanging fire, upon which a democratic decision would

be illuminating and helpful.

The first two concern Self-Government:

The permission to smoke on balconies, afid our drastic proposal to leave
halls open until 11.30. The Self-Government Board moves in a mys-
terious way, its wonders to. perform, and we are told that both sugges-

tions are being mulled over according to the usual rites.

Presumably

all the students are in favor of their adoption, though they have failed
to express themselves except as individuals.

The third issue, the future of the hoops, has no outside affiliations
whatever, it depends ¢ on no decision of, the, board .of directors,..and. is
entirely @ case of student ‘policy. “Therefore the College News proposes

to hold a plebiscite on this issue, and on similar issues in the future,

until the students will be gradually led, we hope, to express themselves

without any artificial stimulation.

It will be conducted according to

the most democratic standards at the customary post-lunch hour, and
"it will disturb no one except the. ballot-counters,. who will be recruited
from the News. When the deéision has been made public, we expect. it
instantly to bring action of some kind, either the continuation of the
tradition, or an extremely active bonfire.

Self-Government Head



Jean Morrill, an English Major,
Plans Teaching Career:



Jean Morrill, 88, new president of
Self-Government Association, is a
resident of Denbigh. Aroused from
her studies at midnight, she answered
questions on her private and public
life with admirable calmness and ef-
ficiency. In 1937 she was a member
of the Undergraduate Association, and
this ‘year a member of the Self-Gov-
ernment Board as well as president of
her class.

Jean went to the John Burroughs
School, in St. Louis, where she began
her career in public office. She was a
member of the Student Council and
secretary of the Assembly. Just what
the Assembly was, Miss Morrill re-
fuses to say, but we know one of her
biology partners who now goes to Vas-
sar.

During her two years on the Col-
lege News, Jean, like many another,
saw great things in a journalistic fu-
ture. But the idea died at birth and
she has turned her thoughts to peda-
gogy. At present her goal is a job
teaching English in an elementary
school. Next summer she will try to
glean experience in this field doing
social work at home.

The new president admits with dis-
arming frankness that she has no
passion for le sport. Her hobby is
writing, which is in itself a strange
and wonderful thing for an English
major. At the moment she can say
nothing about future plans for the
Student Government or, at least, does
not wish to be quoted by the press.

BOOK REVIEW

The Devil Laughs, ae, CONE Spal-
lazani. Sinfull Sisters Press. $5.

The Devil Laughs is a strange
little limited edition (number 83) pub-



lished in Boston and written by some-f

one who calls himself; Lazzaro Spal-
lazani. Mr. Spallazani says that this
is not kis real name, but that he is
disguising himself because he. does
not, want to lose his job. His books
should be particularly interesting to
students because he is a college pro-
fessor; and particularly interesting to
college professors because he thinks
that students will not recognize his
style. We do not recognize it, but
that may be because we do not live
in Boston, Massachusetts.

The frontispiece of the book is for-
bidding. At the top of it is the skull
and cross-bones which customarily
appear on chemical bottles, and un-
derneath a poignant statement, which
should be quoted if the book is to be
understood: “All drug stores. sell
poison, but they so label it. All book
stores sell poison also, but they dis-
guise it. Scientific truth is . poison
to some minds, and that is why I so
label this book. Christians are warned
not to read it under- penalty of com-
mitting the unpardonable sin against
the Holy Ghost.” Below this is the
cryptic name, Lucifer, in red ink, and
a cabalistic farm scene in black. ink,
witha: bird, a~ pitchfork, and in-
definable blots. The writing of
“Lucifer” is oddly reminiscent of Mr.
Spallazani’s signature, which is
scrawled at the end of the preface.

The preface concerns Mr. Spalla-
zani’s troubles with the world, his
students, and his ideas. There is not
yet enough academic freedom. in

America to permit a teacher to say

“that something that some pedple
consider sacred is nothing but bunk,”
without his being peremptorily dis-
missed. Moreover, Mr. Spallazani
likes-his—job;-and- does not have the
blood of. martyrs flowing in his veins.
He wants his ideas, which are too
radical to be propounded to his stu-
dents, to be absorbed slowly by the
blotting-paper of American thought.
To his students he is just a “yes-
man;” he tells them what they want
to believe is true.

To the Editor:

The editorial on the abolition of

est we have read this year.

Sincerely yours,

To the News Editor:

We loathe sentimentality in all its
forms. The tradition of (W) hoops
is sentimental as* well as repulsive.
As long as this nauseating custom
persists, we say, “Whoop the hoops!”
To the Editor of the News:

True friendship needs no~hoops.

To the News;

We favor the abolition of hoop-giv-
ing because it is more likely than any
other tradition on campus to ‘hurt
feelings; it proves nothing-about the
relationship between, the people in-

OLD CLOTHES DRIVE
BENEFITS HOSPITAL



(Specially contributed by Jane A.
Jones, ’40.) °”

The old clothes drive sponsored by
the Bryn Mawr League is held an-
nually for the benefit of the Bryn
Mawr Hospital. Our contributions to
the drive are sold at the Thrift Shop
of the hospital to the poor people on
the Main Line and even from Philadel-
phia. The Thrift Shop is run by the
Social Service Department of the hos-
pital and the proceeds go directly for
sick service to the poor. In past years
the Bryn Mawr clothes have netted as
much as $1,000 for the hospital and
consequently they are greatly appre-
ciated. The Bryn Mawr Hospital has
always been ready ‘to place its facili-
ties at the disposal of the college, and
this drive is one way in which we can
repay the hospital for its fine coopera-
tion.

Dryden explained, are comparatively

rare. The area at Sollenhofen, in
which fossils have been found is
roughly circular, and the character of
the rock suggests that it was a lagoon
in the center of a coral island. The
circle contains the remains of insects,
birds, flying reptiles, fish and one di-
nosaur which was especially interest-
ing because it seemed to contain an
embryo.

In South Dakota and Patagonia, re-
gions widely separate but quite simi-
lar in many respects, geologists have
found the remains of early mammals.
South Dakota contains more familiar
forms, such as horses, tigers and ele-
phants. Patagonia has traces of
primitive sloths and. ant-eaters and
strange hoofed animals. At this same
time fossil fish were being buried in
the lakes of the Rocky Mountains.
Mr. Dryden showed a slab of rock on
which a delicate tracing of a fish ap-
peared, complete even to the scales
and fins.

Anna Holman Gives Illustrated Lecture
On “Techniques of Mountain Climbing”



Movies in Natural Color Show
Panoramic Views of Alpine

Peaks, Meadows



Deanery, March 13.—At a Deanery
entertainment. Miss Anna Holman,
of the Winsor School, showed pictures
of the Bernese Oberland of. Switzer-

land and spoke on Techniques of
Mountain Climbing. . The well-taken
moving pictures were in color, and
showed, besides actual ascents, high

Alpine peaks. “Practically,” she said,
“there is no proper technique; the
main point is to get there.”

Miss Holman first showed pictures
of afternoon walks in the alps. An
alp is a high mountain meadow, and

Next she showed still pictures of her
ascent of the Breithorn, the Fin-
steraarhorn, and the Jungfrau. By
the usual route from Joch the Jung-
frau is an easy climb. Miss Holman’s
ascent from the Rothal was, as‘ Miss
Park said in introducing her, a no-
table feat. The lecture ended with a
last shot of the Gespaltenhorn. as Miss
Holman and her guide, Fritz, de-
scended from the high*snow country.

In the ascent of the Breithorn Miss
Holman explained in detail the |
niques for snow and rock ‘climbing.
When Agassiz, a century ago, evolved
his glacier theory on the Finsteraar-
horn, climbing was done with long
ladders which were carried from
place to place. Now climbers use
ropes and ice axes which are both



t



and frozen. They are being exposed
now as the ice melts and are so per-
fectly preserved that the natives use
their flesh to bait traps. Mammoth
tusks were for centuries the main
source of Chinese ivory, but it was
not until the 20th century that scien-
tists se¢ured the first complete skele-
ton.

easier to manage and more successful.
Even so in one Bernese Cemetery all
the graves are of those who have
Most of

these accidents, Miss Holman said,
are the result of foolhardy expeditions
when weather conditions are doubt-
ful.

On the Gespaltenhorn where Fritz
guided her last summer a new hut
was being built to replace the old one
which was menaced by a tottering
rock. They spent the night in the old
hut with 20 workmen who refused to
have windows open, Getting up at
three o’clock they reached the peak at
six with two photographers and four
of the workmen who had decided to
take a‘holiday. The weather was per-
fect and Miss Holman took wide
panoramas of the peaks in all direc-
tions which showed snow, red granite
and blue sky with only a haze of civili-
zation on the horizon. The following
day they started to-scale-the Blum-
lisalphorn. After two hours a blizzard
and a lightning storm overtook them.
They were fortunate in getting down
safely.

Miss Holman’s photography was
consistently excellent. The closeups
of the bright alpine flowers brought
out their variety of color and form.
A stupid goat climbing down an al-

‘most vertical cliff and the two ,cream-

colored cows, who fought*to have their
portraits taken, were among her
amusing animal shots. Once she was
fortunate in photographing a herd of
rarély seen chamois.
pressive shot was a view of the Ges-
paltenhorn on her last descent, wheré
the snowy peak towered above a red-
dish cliff with a waterfall and trees
in the foreground. Much of the fun
of mountain climbing, says Miss Hol-
man, is in looking at the peaks from
all angles as her pictures showed, and
deciding which to try next.

Exhibition of Paintings
Held in Common Room



Mrs. Fern Coppedge Uses Color
To Produce Harmony



Mrs. Fern I. Coppedge’s paintings,

‘on exhibition in’ the Common Room

from March 4 to 26, are collectively
oppressing, and individually exhila-
rating. All landscapes, they range in

locale from Maine to New Hope, Penn-
sylvania. The most interesting from
the point of view of technique, is
Snowy Afternoon, because it shows
Mrs. Coppedge’s use of color patterns
to produce a total effect of harmony.
According to the artist herself, one’s
eye should be led from one color to
the next, until the composition be-
comes a whole, which is especially
firmly knit together by the relation
of its parts.

This explains Mrs. Coppedge’s sub-
jective method, that is, her personal
idea of symmetry in _ landscape.
Strictly speaking, every artist is jus-
tified in painting a\ thing as it ap-
pears to him.“ But, the run-of-the-mill
eye is taken aback by the garishness

of some of Mrs. Coppedge’s colors,

everr though there is indubitable har-
mony among them. That is why a
whole roomful of her~intense color
patterns is overpowering. We think
that it is easier to err on the side of
cheer, which for nature is equal to
color, than on/ that of severity, and

: \
we prefer restrained snow and water .

scenes, -like _ Jersey Village, and
Gloucester Fishing Boats.
Another ‘point about Mrs. Cop-

pedge’s painting which we question
is her effect of distance. In Snowy
Afternoon, the values used for the
faraway hills are as high as those in
the nearby rooftops, and the sky, in-
stead of receding, as sky seems to do,
gives a feeling of closeness almost
like a back-drop. This is not true of
all the paintings, by any means, al-
though most of them fail to suggest
the low-value dimness that in turn
suggests distance. M. R. M.

not up to its usual standard in either
passing; intercepting, or shooting,
and the: Swarthmore guards, playing
man-to-man defense, managed to keep
the Bryn Mawr forwards from scor-

the absence of seVeral members, but
all credit is due to Swarthmore for
its intercepting and guarding. The
score at the.end of the half was 18-11,
in Swarthmore’s favor; final score,

H. Tomlingon, of Swarthmore, was

Rockefeller,
March 10
Dear Editor: *

The meaning of thedMveragé col-

lege tradition of long-standing does.

not disappear for a great majority of
the students even whén clever cynics
call it unpopular or inconvenient. But
we are still very grateful to the
writer of the editorial “No More
Hoops,” since she, “as a gesture of
respect to the spirit of reverence for
old institutions,” does permit Lantern
Night to bethanded on,.for a while
longer, to coming Bryn Mawr genera-
tions. Cc).

The reason for the Hoop Tradition,
we had always understood, was the
desire of seniors to leave to their un-
dergraduate* friends some traditional
token of friendship, which might. con-
tinue to pass from friend to friend;
making the hoop symbolic of an ever-
growing chain of good friends and
good wishes.

But it seems that nowadays such

lan old-fashioned tradition as friend-

ship, “generally innocuous in practice,
is nevertheless so falsely discriminat-
ing in essence that it should be re-
jected.” And as for tokens of friend-
ship—if you’ve ever received one,
you'd better hide it under your bed
or on your closet shelf, to avoid seem-
ing proud of it. (We have person-
ally found hoops rather useful in dec-
orating otherwise hideous room fix-
tures!)

The writer grows unnecessarily ve-
hement over the fact that the girl with
the most hoops is not necessarily the
most popular girl in college. It had
seemed fairly obvious that the pos-
session of a large number of hoops
merely indicated a farge number of
friends in the graduating classes.

Why no one has suggested a simple
solution to the “no-hoop” complex, we
can only explain by the suggestion
that perhaps people have been too
busy tearing down traditions to be
constructive. If, some time before the
first of May, the seniors in each hall
(and the non-resident seniors) would
make sure every Junior had at least
two hoops—which would be easily done
—there would be no real heartaches.

So that we may have tangible re-
minders of our departing friends, and
for the sake of extending chains of
friendship, let us keep and pass on
hoops. : *

De Musset Comedy
Is Excellent Choice



Continued from Page One

The heroine was played by Eleanor
Mackenzie, who made a very pretty
Cécile, foiling all her lover’s guileful
plots with utter frankness. Her main
task was to be naive, which she was—
whether natively or not it was.hard
to tell.

The minor characters were all well
done, particularly the Abbé and the
dancing master, played respectively by
Susan Miller and’ Fifi Garbat. The
Abbé, trembling and vacillating his
humble way through the play, wrung.
our hearts while we laughed. The
dancing master’s appeal lay in his
appearance. He looked like the spirit.
of all dancing masters.

After a good first act and a really
successful second one, it was too bad
that the third act dragged. This may
have been because most of. it was de-
voted to the lovers. Van Buck, drunk,
and the baronness, in search of her
daughtér, were welcome if infrequent
interrupters of romance.

Kitty Hemphill made some good
effects with her lighting in the last
act. Helped by two assistants, she
caused night to fall and the moon to
rise. Tlre moon focused on a bench
where the lovers spent most of their
time, fortunatély, because when they
strolled into the shadows they were
hard to find. At such times the night
seemed almost too convincing.

Costumes were handsome, but they
did not seem to have been chosen with,
any definite color scheme in mind.
The warm shades of the sets—mauve
in the first, orange and brown in the
second—gave enough color to the
scenes. However, Nancy Bush, cos-
tume chairman, used blue and white
too exclusively when she dressed both
her hero and her heroine in those
colors.

CURRENT EVENTS







(Gleaned from Mr. Fenwick)

Common Room, March 15.—“Amer-
ica cannot remain aloof from the
world,” said Mr. Fenwick, in dis-
cussing the annexation of Austria
and its. implications. “Murder has
been committed on the highways of
the world.” We have a right to in-
terfere in the interest of international
law and order. The statement of the
Philadelphia Committee for Interna-
tional Cooperation for Peace, dis-

tributed at the meeting; emphasizes.

this point.

After reviewing ‘the events leading
up to Hitler’s announcement that Aus-
tria had been made a German
province, Mr. Fenwick advocated three
means of action in regard to the
matter: First, America should form-
ally rebuke Germany for violation of
the: Kellogg Pact; second, she should
apply the doctrine of non-raeognition

» the new province; and third, she
should discontinue trade agreements
with Germany until that country
ceases to coerce and use violence to
gain her ends. By the last measure,
there may yet be time to save Czecho-
slovakia from the fate which Hitler
threatens.

Ameri¢a’s isolation policy in regard
to the affairs of Europe will not keep
her from war. Peace. cannot be pro-
moted by condoning crime. This coun-
try must take an active part in sup-

-pressing violence and this can best



be attained by removing the causes
of war.
vail.

Economic justice must pre-
We cannot condemn a nation
to starvation, Mr. Fenwick pointed
out, for if we restrict them and im-
pose intolerable burdens on them, it

is obvious that they will lose their
heads, and become fanatical. Dicta-
tors will arise who claim their coun-
tries have the right to live, and they
will take all they can by the most
lucrative means as Germany and
Italy have done. But the use of vio-
lence even for. justifiable ends must
be suppressed. Economic redistribu-
tion’ by all nations is’ the only way
to remove the causes of this violence.

England’s indecisiveness is an*im-
portant factor in coming events. If
she does not definitely say she will
fight with France for ‘Czechoslovakia,
Hitler may take the chance that she
will remain passive and enter that
defiant country. Italy, stunned by
the suddey turn of events, is now in-
clined to*tveat with Great Britain,
while France is valiantly pledging
her aid to Czechoslovakia in case of
attack.

This alignment is -ominously com-
parable to that of 1914. A definite
stand by England would clear the
situation and possibly prevent war.
If not, if violence, coercion, and sup-
pression are permitted to rule, all
treaties will be broken, and the democ-
racies of the world will have to fight
for their existence. In doing so, they
will have to turn themselves tempo-
rarily into dictatorships as the only







YOUTH PILGRIMAGE

Eight delegates from Bryn Mawr
attended the Washington Congress of
“Youth’s Pilgrimage for Jobs and
Education,” a drive to back the Amer-
ican Youth Act. The object of this
measure is to aid. education in the
poorer states, increase N. Y. A. grants
to colleges, and end racial discrimina-
tion in allotting grants.....Discrimina-

tion against negroes was objected to
particularly. Forty organizations,

jranging from extreme right to left,

joined in mass meetings and parades
on. March 11th ‘andgl2th.

The Bryn Mawr delegates were:
Bertha Cohen, ’39; Emily Doak, ’39;
Eileen. Durning, ’41; Frances Levison,
’41; Mary Lewis, ’41; Joy Rosenheim,
40; Alice Ferguson and Elise Upton,

means of conducting a successful war.
This is dangerous, since it is difficult
to get rid of the dictatorship when
peage has been declared again.

If} America could put some back-
bone into her foreign policy, and some
concerted, constructive action could
be achieved> the possibility of war
would be diminished, if not eradicated.







GERMAN CLUB TO GIVE
INTERCOLLEGIATE PLAY



The annual Intercollegiate German
Day will be Held at Bryn Mawr on
April 23. A supper is to precede en-
tertainments and singing in ‘Goodhart
by participants from seven colleges.
The program will end with the pres-
entation by the Bryn Mawr and Hav-
erford German Clubs of Schiller’s
Die Stumme Schone, now in rehearsal.

Last year the colleges met at Hav-
erford. Since the University of Penn-
sylvania gives a yearly German play
they have not been invited this time,
but several new colleges have- been
added to the list.

The officers of the Bryn Mawr Ger-
man Club are mainly concerned with
how, what, and where to feed the visi-
tors. Waltz records and a victrola
for the semi-Tyrolean dancing have
already been borrowed in advance.

Die Stumme Schéne will be the

most pretentious offering on the pro-+
of |

gram. Mr. Wolfgang Michael,
Wayne, is directing the cast. Typical
of German comedies of its period
(1747) the play shows a strong French
influence, and the Pinafore motif of
switched babies also appears as Ruth

THE COLLEGE NEWS



Alumnae Council Holds ©
Meeting in New Jersey



Continued from Page One

The New York Club :which has its
headquarters at the Women’s
versity Club, has recently lowered its

Mes,
dues. The Pittsburgh Club needs re-
suscitation. Mrs. Margaret H. Myers

explained that the Baltimore Club has
not been active for several years, but
it is hoped that it will_seon be reor-
ganized. The, Washington Club,
which boasts about 150 members, in-
stead of needing help, affords help
both morally and financially to the
entire locality. In this district there
‘are also nine southern states which
have only 300 alumnae, so contacts
are almost impossible. However, five
clubs. were formed last year.

The reason that there are so few
scholars from the south, Mrs. Streeter
believes, is ‘that the majority of south-
ern schools do not provide adequate
preparation for Bryn Mawr. The stu-
dents who do succeed in entering
make excellent records’ She also gave
as an explanation, the feeling among

southerners that the intellectual. tone

of Bryn Mawr is too high.

The district about Chicago claims
323 alumnae, Mrs. Ruth B. Pehfield
reported, but due to lack of interest,
they have had -no regional scholar for
two years. Miss Eloise ReQua, for-
mer warden of Rockefeller, suggested
poster contests and moving pictures
to .keep college publicity before ‘the
schools.

The section west of the Mississippi
as far as Colorado has had difficulty
in establishing contacts. Their rep-
resentative, Miss Mary Taussig, is in
favor of a revision of the districts.
The Far West, reported by Mrs.
Katherine C. Hayes, ’29, feels the lack
of publicity given Bryn Mawr in
western papers. People from Bryn
Mawr have often visited there, and
left before it was known.

On Friday. afternoon President
Park spoke on the Dilemna Which
Confronts All Conscientious Educators
Today. The first aim of education,
Miss Park said, is to provide for the
continuance of civilization by pre-
senting to
definite pattern of truth and work-

ond frankly leads to a critical attitude
and non-conformity, but it does pro-
duce the power of self-criticism.
Miss Park was followed by’ Lucy
Kimberly, ’37, who discussed the new
interest shown ,by students, in world
events. She said this was especially
apparent in the Peace Council. She
then outlined the new constitution and
the activities of the past year. Mary
Whalen, ’38, next reported on im-
portant phases of college this year
such as new. buildings, language
houses, club activities, and the league
services.

The report from the graduate

school was given by Vesta Sonne, who
explained the new policies of the
school, including the substitution ‘of

a statistics course for a former
language requirement, and other at-
tempts to. enable, the well-equipped
student to proceéd more quickly to in-
dependent work. °

Saturday morning the entire per-
sonel left at eighty-thirty for Prince-
ton where the final session was held.
Mrs. Caroline L. Byers, who recently
succeeded Miss Gardener to the office
of Chairman of the Scholarships and
Loan Fund Committee was the first
speaker of the day. She reported that
there are 96 scholars in college this
year of whom 86 are regional ‘scholars.
The majority .of these students are
not only making enviable academic
records, but also hold offices in the
student- administration. The system
of loans and the new requirement that
the borrower pay one per cent in-
terest while she is in college were
then discussed.
