Role of Perfection
In Religious Thought
Discussed by Thomas



Common Room April 28. Love,
liberty, perfectionism, and social
responsibilities are the four. es-
sential parts of Christian ethics,
said Mr. George. Thomas in_ his
lecture on religious thought, the
third of a series.

Christianity, Mr. Thomas point-
ed out, is fundamentally a _ per-
fectionist religion. This perfec-
tionism is based not on human
abilities and failings, but rather
on the standard .of God’s perfec-
tion’ In fact, the religion as-
sumes that men are naturally sin-
ful and a radical change of at-
titude of a rebirth within its fol-

°

Besides the corollary of con-
version, perfectionism carries
with it another idea, that of pro-
gressiveness. «Since perfection
equal to God is never obtainable,
the good life is never complete
and there is never room for mor-
al complacency.

Not Aristotelian

Mr. Thomas contrasted the rad-
ical Christian ethic of perfection-
ism with Aristotle’s Greek ethic
which advises the development of
one particular virtue.

Illustrating how the Christian
ethic was also one of love, Mr.
Thomas pointed out the difference
between Jesus’ conception of love
and the one popularly held today.
Love is a spontaneous expression
based on the value of loving rath-
er than the worth of the loved
one. It has no relationship to the
natural attractions of beauty or
ability.

Christian love requires no re-
ciprocation, Mr. Thomas _ contin-
ued. It is based on the perfec-
tionist idea that God loves every-
one, and that we should do the
same. This is exemplified in the
Bible by Jesus’ association with
sinners and publicans. The love,
itself, is not primarily a_ senti-
ment but a way of life. It is un-
iversal, being unlimited by racial,
national, color, or creed barriers.

English Composition
Poll Result Analyzed
By Stapleton, Brown



Specially Contributed by Patricia
Brown and Laurence Stapleton

Representatives of the Under-
graduate Curriculum Committee
and of the Required English Com-
position Staff have now completed
their analysis of the poll which
was recently taken to determine
student opinion of the course in
Freshman English. About two
hundred and twenty students ans-
wered the questions. The ques-
tionnaire was drawn up by the
committee and by the staff mem-
bers in joint consultation. This
project is one of the first exam-
ples of student-faculty cooperation
in the discussion of a _ required
course,

The poll disclosed a great diver-
sity of ideas, and many valuable
and constructive suggestions were
made. The general trend of opin-
ion may be summarized as _ fol-
lows:

New Ideas

1. Most students thought that
the primary emphasis of the
course should be on training in
clear and correct writing. Stud-
ents should be given practice in
organization, and should learn to
eliminate faults of style. Many
students said that they had learned
to outline and to write long pap-
ers in Freshman English, General-
ly, students wish to learn some-
thing about the work of good mod-
ern writers and to have practice
in literary criticism. Many felt
that there should be more detailed
criticishn of their papers.

2. Most students found that the
course had given them an oppor-
tunity for independent thinking.



3s The course had helped most
students to recognize faults in
their writing, but had failed to
give them a constructive method
of imiproving it.

4. More Freshmen than upper-
classmen felt that they understood
the plan of the course. Most stud-
ents wished to have more discus- |
sion of the plan. In particular,

Singing, Acting, Dancing, Props Contribute
To Spontaneous Combustion of Operetta



by Patricia Platt, 45

The Mikado, swinging on into
its last week of rehearsals, ex-
hibits a quality of spontaneous
combustion which manifests _it-
self in singing, acting, dancing,
and last, but not least, props. Hir-
ohito would find himself a strang-
,er in-Mr. Alwyne’s Japan, where,
against a colorful backdrop of
cherry blossoms ‘and pagoda tops,
a painty stagehand nestles with
a book.

The story of the operetta con-
cerns Nanki-Pooh (Lucretia
can), son of the Mikado,




flight from his _ betrothed,\ the
horribly hideous Katasha (M
Hoyt Sherman). Touring the

country as a wandering minstrel,
he falls for the fair Yum-Yum
(Benjy Beckwith), beloved of
Ko-Ko, the Lord High Execu-
tioner (Kay Tappan). The result
is’ generally gory—a nasty dil-
emma arising as to who is going
to die a death by “something
lingering—with boiling oil in it.”
In such a setting suicides are
sissy, and the Mikado (Maggie
Hilgartner) mows down Japs
with a fan as if it were a gat.
Lone quailer among the group
is Ko-Ko, whose — words



squirmed and struggled and gurg-
led and guggled as I drew my
snicker snee”) belie his lack of
intestinal fortitude. This is his
undoing, and leaves him making
love to Katasha, whose enumer-
ated attractions are a heel ap-
preciated by connoisseurs, and
one tooth that nobody hasbeen
able to pull out.

The. cast gets a work-out.
Tongues have their daily dozen
with infinite series of fa-lalala’s,
while attempts to coordinate love
scenes usually wind up in contor-
tions and_ hysterics. Whether
Nanki-Pooh is trying to kill him-
self with imaginary dagger
op girl assures,
“will be ready tomerrow’’), or he
and Yum-Yum are s\arting off on
a honeymoon with what at_ this
stage looks like a sweater filled
with books, the pace is mad and
merry. Although the “gentle-
men of Japan” may be seen on
“many a vase and jar, on many. a
screen or fan’, their life is any-
thing but static. When not sing-
ing the chorus spends most of its
time getting up and down off the
floor and trying to keep its col-
lective face straight. This is the

Senior Hoop Rolling Ends in Pandemonium
As Rolling Jessie Stone Gathers No Moss



by Marcia Dembow, ’47

If, every evening from mid-
night to dawn, you saw a bare-
foot figure tripping down Senior
Row with a hoop in close pursuit,
it was not Jessie Stone practic-
ing to come in first in the hoop-
rolling contest. Or if you saw
U. S. Steel building a special”
track for Jessie to run her hoop
down, Jessie had nothing to do
with it.

“Just luck, pure luck, and a
good start”, said Jessie from un-
der a stack of Philadelphia Even-
ing Bulletins which carried the
story in headlines and a picture
of Jessie: poised for action.

Seizing her hoop in her right
hand Jessie tore down the green
recalling all the bedlam that ‘she
had seen in previous years and
trying to avoid-it. She did avoid





while she, cum hoop, rammed
head on into a bystander... Unde-
terred, our-heroine continued; the
finish was in sight and _ Jessie
cast a swift glance over her heav-
ing shoulder to the empty green
behind. Were they all married
and gazing at her efforts with
sympathetic eyes, or were these
another pack of career women?
A confused crowd of wood and
women appeared. Stone grinned
the Stone grin and attained the
title of first to be married in ‘the
Class of 1944.

Semehow, we like to _ believe
that Jessie had her pet Gopher,
Rolling Stone, balancing the hoop
on his nose ‘while she _ steered
from above. But what was her
motive? Is Jessie thinking of
raising little egonomists; is she
trying to show Mary Mitchell
that two can play at the same
game?

Plan for Germany

A drastic plan for financial and economic disarmament
has been set up by an inter-allied committee composed ot
financial experts of eight exiled European countries and the
French Committee of National Liberation. The plan will
probably be submitted to Britain, the United States and
Russia for inclusion in their armistice terms with Germany.
It obviously is designed to completely obliterate any possibil-
ity of Germany’s ever waging war again, but in its anxiety
it occasionally fails to see the forest for the trees.

Allied Control

The committee not only skirts the hurdle of defining the
composition of “‘allied control’, but it also fails to explain the
use of this phrase in points like “control of all public and
financial resources”, “control of stocks and bonds’, “control
of banks”. A similar snag arises in the use of “the allies’.
The most serious instance of this was the statement that
“all German: foreign holdings and-investmentsabroad would
be liquidated for the benefit of the allies’.

Aside from the practical difficulties of this plan, (e. g.
how to liquidate colonies?) there is the question of who will
decide what the “benefit of the allies” is. Division of such
booty will inevitably give rise to endless complexities and bad
feeling. Does the committee pre-suppose a huge scale world
organization through which these will be administrated?
Hints of such a pre-supposition may be found also in the nu-
merous references to the allies, for certainly each of the
United Nations could not vote on every separate transaction
of German business.

; a,

a

With that phrase the big question behind the whole
plan looms up. Just how far must Germany be restricted?
Undoubtedly, the strictest supervision of German industry
is necessary, but this should eliminate the need for a step
such as abolition of mixed industries (i. e. such industries as
machine tools and chemicals, which are easily convertible to
war), a step which would create unemployment in Germany
and force the allies to supply her with such commodities.
Again, would not strict supervision rather than the burden
of “control” prove more efficient in surveillance of German
domestic and foreign transactions?

On the whole, the plan’s greatest merit is its forthright
“prevent war” theme, unconcealed -in mazes of diplomatic
clauses and deserves the most serious consideration on that
account, as well as because it expressed the view of the co-
habitats of the continent. However, the embittered nations
must be kept from harming world commerce and driving
Germany to desperation again by crushing her economic life

German Unemployment







ization rather puzzling reading.
You state that Russia’s suggestion
that the ILO be modelled on the
United Nations rather than on
the non-existent League of —Na-
tions...“‘indicates..an...attempt to
dominate” the conference. Surely
if Russia had wished to dominate
the conference she would have en-
tered it when invited. Instead,
she has refused to send delegates,
raising sincere protest against an
outmoded system of representation
which, among other faults, in-
cludes Fascist nations. This point
would apply specifically to Argen-
tina, a nation whose membership
in the ILO you were at great pains
to justify. It is far-fetched’ rea-
soning indeed that declares we
must not offend a Fascist nation
now, so that when we have beaten
the Fascists in Europe we will be
on good terms with them here.

Patronizing Tone of Letter
About Common Treas.
Deplored

To the Editor:

We wish to question the need
for the letter published by the
president of the Sophomore class
at the request of the class nomin-
ating committee in last week’s
News. By the time this is read
the elections for Common Treas-
urer will be completed, but we feel
that the letter should not pass
without some manifestation of the
indignation which we know many.
have felt concerning it. Our quar-
rel is not with its purpose; there
are surely few people on campus
who do not agree with the prin-
ciple of wider distribution of of-
fices, It is rather the tone of the
letter and its implications which
disturb us.

Inthe first place, it is an apol-
ogy for the office of Common Trea-
surer. The fact—that-its-qualifiea-
tions are contrasted with those for
other “large campus offices” seems
to imply that it is less desirable.
Saying that the presidency of
Self-Gov’t was one instance of a
position for which the holding of
“large offices” is a requisite was
misleading, for we feel that it is
a unique example of an office for
which a period of apprenticeship
on a board is advantageous. With

“every other office we can call to

mind, it seems to us that there can
be no other qualification for a can-
didate than knowing that she is
“good and dependable,” with. an
interest_in_the work.

Secondly, the letter has struck
many as an apology for those girls
running for the office. Its tone is
most unfortunately patronizing.
A sentence such as: “We feel that,
when possible, they (girls such as
the candidates) should be given a
chance to sho wtheir ability in...
impressive offices,” seems an un-
called for apology for members of
the Sophomore class who are,
after all, not as obscure as. one
may be led to believe from the let-
ter in question.

Respectfully,

said, “Clever men by the hundreds
are sitting about talking about our
war aims.” But they do not know
what they want; they have a sick-
ening feeling of inadequacy and
despondency. Neither.....does.....the
soldier know what he is fighting
for since “no amount of contact
with the battle scene improves
one’s conception of what this war
is about.”

The common man _ has -been
brought up in a condition miser-
ably bankrupt of vigorous ideas
about the world. Despite the fun-
damental good heart of the peo-
ple, they are apathetic to any-
thing which does not pertain to
their personal needs and desires.

The question is how we are to
correctthis condition. “There is
one short cut,’ said Mr. Mills. The
solution, he explained, lies in the
education of a new generation of
boys and girls. To smash the
aims of materialism out of the
whole set-up, to place technical
teaching in a correct perspective,
and to teach children the funda-
mental lessons of social purposes
worked out as a_ science and
taught as such should be the goal
of a genuine liberal] education, We
talk blithely of reeducation of the
German youth when our own edu-
cation system is in dire need of
readjustment.

In a few months, Mr. Mills de-
clared, the war will be over in
Europe and we must face the re-
sponsibility of immediate peace.
As the victors, it is for us to put
the world in order again, while
our incapacity to do this is appal-
ling.

We have all heard and accepted
the phrases that are repeated by
politicians, lecturers, and preach-
ers, aS our war aims: the preser-
vation and extension of democ-
racy, freedom for all peoples, and
Christianity. The joke is that these
are the things for which we are
fighting. While people are being
killed by the shovel-full, we must
analyze those cliches and demand

Chadwick Greets Happy May, Joyous May,
In Halarious Tale of Love and Nightmares



By’ Darst Hyatt °47
Susan Oulahan ’46

Speaking before a literal bevy
of beauties,” Miss Mary Sue Chad-
wick, president of that venerable
institution, the senior class, wel-
comed the returr of “Happy May,
Joyous May.” In describing the
delirium tremors endured in pre-
meditation —of addressing the
sleepy undergraduates, Miss Chad-
wick discussed the antics of the
headless doctor who diagnosed her
weakened condition and nervous
(prostration.

“Climaxing a perfectly ghastly
week,” spent with Figaro, milk-
maids and chimney sweeps, Miss
‘Chadwick “one, two, three hopped”
to the guillotine, ha ha,

Having “lived, loved and suffer-
ed,” Miss Chadwick has. gained
considerable reputation as a poet.
Citing her recent chef d’ oeuvre
entitled “Biologftal Leitmotif on
the Significance of Spring,” she
advised “pretty maidens not to

tarry” but to follow the example

of bird and bee and butterfly who
waste no time in-mating and mar-

| rying.

' A versatile artist, Miss Chad-
wick also addressed the chemists
in an ersatz ballad:

“Roses are red

Cornflowers are blue



Pelargonide chloride



i :
‘
. sid ne







ening cerita



They owe it all to you.”

In the light gf the speaker's
failure to comment further on
the above verse, ha ha, we refer
our readers to Smith’s College

_Chemistry.

Miss Chadwick described her
recent hectic experience with the
little man “who reached in. his
pocket and pulled out his head
and it went_ha, ha, ha”. .Reply-
ing to this monstrosity’s ques-
tions, she could only say, “May
poles on the grass, alas, alas.
May poles on the grass.” Leav-
ing Chadwick on the grass, the
doctor “shrieked spring, spring,
and sprang out the window.”

After citing her philosophy of
life in two memorable hectic
couplets,

“Happy May, Joyous May

Life is fading fast away.

Happy May, Joyous May

Death will be here any day,”
Miss Chadwick concluded with a
message of love to the sleepy
throng. However, since she had
so recently recovered from a\
coma, she was too overcome to |
empart her message. Having
slightly muddled our powers of
concentration, Miss Chadwick
left us to “one, two, three hop
forth.” ;

Old Italian Costumes
Displayed at Deanery

Page Four

; - THE COLLEGE NEWS









Deanery, May 1.. Varied. Ital-
ian peasant costumes were mod-
elled by Bryn Mawr students on
Monday night. Selected from
the collection of Mrs. McMullan
of Germantown, the costumes
were described by their owner
who gave ymany interesting de-
tails concerning their workman-
ship and traditional character.

Starting with the
Italy and working north and te”
Sardinia, Mrs. McMullan pointed
out that the financial status of a
bride’s father in the town of
San Demetrio Corone can be de-
termined by a glance at the width
of metallic gold band at the bot-
tom of her pleated satin — skirt.
Corky Pickens, ’47, wore a cos-
tume fron this town.

From another town, a 150 year
old costume was worn by Jocelyn
Kingsbury, ’45. The dress was
made of brocaded silk under-
neath a scarlet velvet coat heav-
ily embroidered with gold bullion.

The next costumes were those
of a couple from Baranello. Mrs.
Chew wore the costume of the
wife, which had a _ detachable
fringe around the waist, the sign
of a married woman. Carol Bal-
lard, ’45, who wore the man’s
costume, had red ribbons in her
breeches.

Wedding Costume

The symbolism of green as the
“beginning of new life” was used
in a wedding costume from Scan-
no worn by Ellen Douglas Brooke,
’46. There all women carry small
charcoal stoves under their aprons
to keep them warm as they squat

fin the cold churches. The next
costume, worn by Elizabeth
Boudreau, °45, was a_ wedding

dress of black and orange _bro-
cade.

One of the most beautiful cos-

tumes was worn by Emily Tuck,
44, A southern Sardinian dress,
it had a white lace veil, a very
finely worked skirt and much de-
tailed—embroidery.
. A peasant “hat-language” was
demonstrated by Posy Kent, ’45, in
her costume of a man from Ole-
ana. The wife, portrayed by Hil-
dreth Dunn, ’44, had a dress
made of goat hair, stretched and
pleated by soaking in water and
stretching with stones.

The last costume, worn by
Mary Vi.ginia More, ’45, seemed
almost Egyptian in appearance.
Both the cut and the style were
in straight lines. Mrs. McMullan
showed how, in this case, the
apron of the unmarried girl turn-
ed into the headgear of the mat-
ron.

least interesting, and considered
that it had helped them to think
more clearly and to make their
ideas articulate.

aving class discussion. That
discussion should be better organ-
izéd and, in some cases, more firm-
ly controlled by the instructor,
were. frequent comments, Other
suggestions were that topics or
questions for discussion should be
announced in advance; that there
should be panel discussions, led by
the students themselves; that
there should be more general par-
ticipation; that the conclusions of
the discussion should be summar-
ized.

Variety Favored

7. Most students were in favor

in the reading and writing assign-
ments of the different sections,
rather than a completely standard-
ized course for all sections. A
good deal of interest was ex-
pressed in .methods of sectioning.
Some felt that perhaps there
ought to be an advance section for
especially competent students; a
few expressed a desire for section-
ing in accordance with the inter-

the class.

8. For most students, organiza-
tion seemed to be the chief diffi-
culty experienced in writing pap-
ers for advanced courses. The
majority found that the methods
they had learned in Freshman
English were applicable in other
courses. There was general agree-
ment that it would be desirable to
have more assistance in other
courses on the choice of a subject
and-on bibliography.

A great many suggestions were
made for the improvement of the
course. The general opinion was
that there ought to be a more ob-
vious emphasis on the technique
of composition. Some students
wished to have more opportunity
to practice the writing of long
papers;~ on™ the other hand, some
asked for more free assignments
and more opportunity to do crea-
tive writing. Interest was ex-
pressed in the possibility of a
placement test at the beginning of
the year. Some students com-
mented unfavorably on the use of
current affairs as a topic for read-
ing and’ writing assignments in
the first semester; others prefer-
red this part of the course. Many
requested a better working out of
ithe sequence of reading assign-
ments.

Poll Discussed

The student curriculum commit-
tee and the committee of the staff
had a thorough discussion of the
results of the poll, and of the
problems experienced in teaching
Freshman English. Members of
the staff believe that many of the
suggestions made by the students
can be used to improve the: course.
As a result of the comments, the
staff has decided to require every
student to buy a composition hand-
book to use in correcting her
papers. Discipline of minor faults
of spelling and punctuation will
be more severe. In the past, all
students have been required to
buy a dictionary, and a composi-
tion handbook or a reference such
as Fowler’s Dictionary of Modern
English Usage has been recom-
mended, but its use has not been
compulsory, One member of the
staff said, “Perhaps in the past we

Vocational Meeting
Presents Speakers —
On Personnel Work

—————



Deanery, April 27. The subject
of the Vocational Conference held
Thursday night was “Personnel
Work in Industry and Govern-
ment”. Mrs. Marian Pedraza -of
the Examining Division, ~U. S.
Civil Service Commission, and
Miss Florence McAnaney, per-
sonnel director of the Eastman
Kodak Company, were the speak-
ers.

Mrs. Marian Paraza gave an
over-all picture of personnel
work in government, and a brief
history of how this branch has
developed from a single clerk’
fifty years ago to its present
enormous size. The war increased
the need for expanded and _ im-
proved personnel work, and last
year the bureau of the budget is-
sued a directive clarifying and
standardizing the principals of
personnel work.

Duties

The- duties of the over-all. per-
sonnel director Mrs. Pedraza nam-!
ed as setting up and carrying out
the position-classification system.
Placing, training, safety, health,
and recreation are under his sup-
ervision, as are the _ unification
and simplification of procedures,
advice to workers, and _liason
matters between the Civil Service
and its constituent agencies.

Mrs. McAnaney discussed the
role of women in industry. She
stated that there was much less

formality in the organization of
personnel than in government.
The primary function of this part
of a company is to “select, place,
and follow up” to find the right
workers, teach them the job, and
then keep a sharp watch on their
progress, health and morale.
Mrs. McAnaney. emphasized
that a college graduate wishing
to enter this field of employee re-
lationship must not only have an
intense interest in people, but also
a—workable_knowledge of psychol-

ogy.

Student Group Visits
Valley Forge Hospital



Arranged for by the Red Cross
and organized by Eileen Erwin,
a group of fifty Bryn’ Mawr ‘girls
attended a party on Saturday ev-
ening for convalescent soldiers at
the Valley Forge Hospital.

The students who had signed
to. go were taken from Pembroke
arch at five-thirty by the Red
Cross motor corps to the large
Red Cross entertainment room at
the hospital. - Labeled with their
names and armed with packs of
cards and prizes, they played
hearts, rummy, and a little bridge,
or else talked with the soldiers.
They left after refreshments had
been served.

This first group organized
from Bryn Mawr to attend a
party for the soldiers was such a
success that it is hoped that there
will be many more of its’ kind

next year. Not only large groups
such as this one should go on
Saturday evenings, but also

smaller parties might be held on
weekdays when it is difficult for
groups from Philadelphia to go
out to the hospital.

Nuts and Bolts

Temple University has found
acceleration unsuccessful and _ in-
tends to return to a normal cur-



riculum. An _ editorial in the
Temple University News _ an-
nounces: “The new calendar for

the coming year, lengthening the
two semesters so that the final
term will last until June, is a
good thing for Temple. The great
rush in which we are now partic-
ipating, in which we are trying
to finish five month’s work in
three, shows that an accelerated
program for undergraduate hin-
ders progress.

“Education can be speeded up
to a certain degree, but we feel
that racing through a_ college
year is a waste of time money,
and brain power.”

From Swarthmore’s _Phoenix
also comes a protest against a
hectic speed-up education as op-
posed to a leisurely four years of
thought, assimilation, and grow-
ing-up: “An accelerated maturity
may be produced by heavy respon-
sibilities, by an exacting job, by
war service—it will not be pro-
duced by merely increasing
speed of examinations.”

289 Undergraduates
Protest Chinese Rule



A petition recently circulated
on campus protesting the propos-
al of the Chinese government to
supervise Chinese students study-
ing in this country has. been sign-
ed by 289 students. The petition
is to be sent to the Chinese Em-
bassy in’ Washington, to New
York and Philadelphia newspa-
pers, and to a Chinese newspaper
in this country.

The petition is as follows: “We
the undersigned, students at Bryn
Mawr, protest in the name of ac-
ademic freedom the recent ruling
of the Chinese government affect-
ing government control of Chin-
ese students in this country. The
Kuomintang recently decided
that all Chinese students who
wish to study in the United
States must be approved by the
government and must attend a
government preparatory school,
and a government official in Amer-
ica will continue to _ supervise
their “thought and conduct’, as
well as their course of study. We
consider this step a dangerous en-
croachment on democratic rights
and earnestly desire that it be
rescinded.”

10 Years Ago

“Hoop rolling was not always a
part of little May Day. In 1919
the entire Senior Class still used
to sit, hoops in hand, on the Senior
steps, until a Sophomore runner
brought them the news that the
black sheep of the class had at last
passed their- Orals. President
Thomas. herself”’6n one occasion,
called the glad thesgage down from
a window in the Chapel to the
hushed multitude below. Some-
times the suspense was frightful;
two or three Seniors would be
called back as many as four times
to read again. Then when the vic-
tims at last issued forth, worn
but victorious, the class in a body
would rush to Senior Row. and
roll hoops wildly as a gesture of
triumph. e

“On three dreary occasions, in
1907, 1918, and 1919, not everyone
passed her oral Then the class
glumly broke their hoops—Hoop
Massacres, these mournful occa-
sions were called—to keep bad
luck from passing down to suc-
cessive Seniors.”

“Mr. Stephen Vincent Benet,
speaking on ‘The Reading of Po-
etry’ Sunday afternoon in the
Deanery, pointed out every man’s
natural capacity for reading po-
etry, the proper manner of reading
it, and its vitality for readers and
writers today. Poetry itself he
calléd a ‘sharpening of the facul-
ties to reveal beauty we have nev-
er seen, or interpretation of life
in magic speech’.”

“In the face of a dence silence
on the part of the undergraduates,
the comprehensive system has fin-
ally been approved by a faculty
which does not yet know whether
it has given the undergraduates
what they want.”

“‘The culture of the Eskimaux
of Prince William Sound is partic-
ularly interesting,’ said Frederica
De Laguna, in her talk at the
Deanery on Sunday afternoon,
‘because they have kept—in—cold
storage the ancient customs’.”

Baldwin Downs B. M.
In Baseball Opener



Baldwin School, April 29. The
Owls, despite a last minute rally,
were outbatted by Baldwin’s nine
and lost their first game of the
season, 15-11. The rally did not
die until six runs were in, includ-
ing a home run by Marilyn’ Beh-
ner, but the Owls still lacked
three runs to tie the score.

Baldwin’s big inning was
fourth when the blue team _ col-
lected seven runs on two walks
and three hits, one of them a dou-
ble. The Baldwin team not only
kept up the batting end of their
game but played almost errorless
Childs, pitching for her
school, went all the: way and gave
up only -one walk. The Owls
might have found themselves in
more trouble than they were if

had not proved herself a fielding
pitcher, getting credit for two
very able assists.

Christianity’s Ethics
Discussed by Thomas

Continued from page 1

Refuting the traditional _ belief
that the Christian ethic is one of
law, Mr. Thomas declared that it
was one of liberty. Since Chris-
tianity is based primarily on love
of God’s and one’s neighbor, by
fulfilling these two simple _ re-
quirements one can be a_ good
Christian. _It-is—a—creative and
individualistic religion. Too much
insistence on law has a disastrous
effect. Not only does it destroy
the spirit of emphasizing prohi-
bitions, but its thoughts are in
bondage to the past. It is too
restrictive_in instances where _ it
should direct men’s passions.

Lastly, Mr. Thomas pointed out
that the Christian ethic is a social
ethic based on the common com-
munity which the coming king-
dom of God will bring. Men’s
love of God will be a pattern for
their love of one another.

The occasion was a gesture of
hospitality to the International

meeting in Philadelphia from
April 20 to May 138, and delegates
from forty-five countries welcom-

of Philadelphia to the blooming

magnolia trees and green grass
of the campus. Little did they
know the days of greyness and

tropical rain we endured to at-

The delegates have been hec-

British Sea Dogs Take Pity on Rock’ Diners,



THE COLLEGE NEWS.





Don Aprons to Serve as Casual Male Help



by Patricia Behrens, °46

“Anasas kata kalo kale!! cheer-
ed Rock as the new hired help
came out of the kitchen like the
winning boxer out of his corner.
There was the British Navy, or at
Jeast three of its officers, with
maids’ aprons tied daintily over
their uniforms, ready to serve
Wednesday’s lunch. Once again
Rock’s lunch was as impressively
served as in its days of profes-
sional maids.

Alice

Minot, ’45, the Britishers
under the impression that “Bryn

that they were coming to

moral support as casual
help.”

The three were Pay Lt. Comdr.
Bryan Bulpit, Pay Sub. Lieut.
Michael Slattery and Warrant
Ordnance Officer Stanley McCar-
thy, all from H. M. §. 5814, now
in the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
Asked if they would come _ back
to the college they replied, ‘““We’d
love to, but, tell us, how can we
obtain a hoop?”

When asked the eternal ques-

tion about how American girls
differ from English, they _ said,
“slightly less formal.”

“But’, they added, “tell us
about the» juvenile» delinquency
figures. That seems to be the
local rage here.”

With those words they went

off to the Inn for ice cream, say-
ing that the grass needed cutting
but that they were too tired to
volunteer their services.

will find such satisfying amuse-
ments as dart throwing and base-
ball throwing. Athletic pursuits
of a more refined nature can be
found on the dance platform, and
the musical background of the
carnival will be created by Pat
Franck’s accordion and, it is hop-
ed, a real, honest-to-gosh hurdy-
gurdy.
Mysterious

There will be an element of the
mysterious and supernatural too.
Handwriting analysts may be
consulted at your discretion, and
Sandra Lieberman will offer any
comer one of her own _ special
Sandy-glances into a distinctly
exciting future. Other mysteri-
ous and secretive preparations
have been rumored about, but
revelation awaits the day of the
carnival.

Sale

On sale at the fair will be all
varieties of things varying from
Mr. Herben’s-lei-to potted plants,
and possibly even a pair of live
ducks. By way of refreshment,
’46 will offer ice cream from an
ice cream truck. Highlight of
these attractions will be the raf-
fle of a highly efficient watch-dog
of the scotty breed. His effective-
ness_is.guaranteed by the Sopho-
mores, in case you’re troubled by
marauders, and even his’ cotton
insides (to conform with college
rules) can’t alter histruly canine
nature.



Reminder

All students are reminded
that minors are allowed neith-
er to buy drinks nor be seen on
the premises where drinks are
sold under penalty of arrest
and/or fine. Students are al-
ways asked to bear this in
mind and particularly over the
coming prom weekend.

often rife with tension points, at-.
tended by colorful
figures such as the Mexican rep-
resentative Toledano, and _ con-
tinually complicated by the tre-
mendous staff of translators at

Mrs. Rowe, a history major at
Bryn Mawr, now classifies herself
as an “international civil serv-
ant”, a position particularly dif-
ficult for her since she worked
previously in distinctly partisan
organizations—the United Mine
Workers and the women’s division
of the Democratic National Com-
mittee. Endoctrinated at Mon-
treal for the ILO, Mrs. Rowe
found herself utterly confused by
the circulating file system in

each other. :

have erred in following Blake’s
principle, approvingly quoted by
Dr. Chew in last Sunday’s Herald
Tribune: ‘that which is*hot too ex-
plicit is fittest for instruction, for
it rouses the faculties to act’,”
The instructors explained to the
student committee that a place,
ment test was formerly given, but
was abandoned when it ‘became
clear that there was little correla-
tion between the mark on the test
and achievement in the course, The
correlation between the ‘entrance
examination in English and ability
to do college work in English is
also low, so that it would be’ diffi-
cult to do an efficient job of sec-
tioning according to ability, even



if it were desirable. The expedi-
ent of sectioning according to the
interests or the majors of the
students did not seem to the in-
structors to be consistent with the
idea of a liberal education. In ad-
dition, there is the difficulty. of pre-
dicting the student’s major as.
early as the freshman year.

In considering the choice of
reading for next year, the instruct-
ors intend to take into account the
need to make the plan of the
course clearer. At present, read-
ing assignments are sometimes
given to provide ideas for writ-
ing, sometimes as. examples of
kinds of writing the student should
learn to do, for example, biograph-
ical or critical essays. Apparent-
ly there ‘should bea’ more ‘evident
plan in the sequence of assign-
ments.
