The yarious money-raising cam-
paigns, which have been the bane
of every undergraduate’s life for
years, are now to be combined into
one big drive, lasting from Oc-

tober. 12th to the 20th. The money
collected, if the drive is.a success,
will satisfy all the needs of the
Bryn Mawr League, including the
Camp, the Bryn Mawr Summer
School, the Peace Council, and the
Players’ Club. If the required
funds are raised for the latter, the
campus will be able to come free
of charge to Players’ Club activi-
tieg throughout this year.

If the goal of $4500 is reached,
there will be no need of benefits or

remember that, because of the war,
the demand this year for refugee
assistance and Red Cross work will
be greater than ever before. The

:160 Favor Repeal
of Arms Embargo





Bryn Mawr’s answers to a Na-
tional College Poll on Neutrality
showed general opposition to the
entrance of this country. into the
European war and substantial sup-
port for repeal of the Arms Em-
bargo. In the questions concern-
ing our entrance into the war,
there was an almost unanimous
desire to fight if the United States
proper should be attacked. Under
the other four conditions, however,
there was a slight majority (362
to 359) expressing the desire to
remain out of war.

1. Under. present conditions,

European war as an active fighting
force? -Yes 5; No 221.

Crisis Interrupts

Junior Year Abroad



Refugee Students Jam Liners
In Last Minute Evacuation
Of Americans



By Virginia Sherwood, ’41

The refugees at Bryn Mawr seem
to fall, ‘roughly, into two cate-
gories. There are those whose
summer vacations were brought to
a somewhat precipitous and nerve-
wracking end: they were trailed by
U-boats, lived in ther life-jackets,
slept in palm lounges, or almost
took the Athenia.’ Then. there are
those who were obliged to cut short
a year of study.and either squeeze
themselves into whatever available
boat space tould» be procured for
them, or sit disconsolately upon
these shores, watching their boat
steam off towards Europe.

The problem confronting the di-

rectors of the German Foreign
Study Group was merely to ‘liqui-
date all plans and cancel all pas-
sages. Virginia King and Martha
DeWitt never sailed, but Helen Mc-
Intosh 'was already in England,

60 Workers Attend
New Summer School





About 60 students attended the
Bryn Mawr Summer School during
its first year at West Park, N. Y.
Most of the girls were American
born, but a Swedish leather work-
er and two English workers
attended. All three contributed
information about the labor con-
ditions in their own countries.

The campus consists of two
private estates,' one belonging to
Miss Hilda Smith, former Dean of
Bryn “Mawr, and another estate a
short way from it. Unfortunately,
the intervening property belongs to
a conservative landowner- who
forbade the students ‘to cross his
land, compelling them to skirt his
property in going from one half
of the campus to the. other. He
also placed anti-labor posters on
his estate for those brave enough
to attempt to cross it. The resi-
dents of -the surrounding com-
munity: were also wary of the
school, but the workers won them
over by inviting them to an open
house party, and by explaining
their ideas and the purposes of the
school in a “living newspaper”
play.

The prineipal courses in the cur-
riculum were English, economics,
and the sciences. The economics
professors were all ‘college instruc-
tors, amgng them Miss Mildred
Fairchild from Bryn Mawr. The
English teachers, however, had
previously taught in high schools.

THEATRE REVIEW ~

By Olivia Kahn
The theatrical season of 1939-40
is opening in a leisurly manner,
but one of its most promising signs

of life is an unaffected musical
show, The Straw Hat Revue. Its







ence that their show springs from
an unsophisticated origin but, as
they themselves must realize, their

|principal appeal lies in the fresh-

ness and simplicity of their skits.
- The Straw Hat Revue is in many
respects worthy to be considered
the successor ofthe labor stage’s
still popular Pins and Needles.
However, Max Liebman, Sylvia
Fine, and James Shelton, who
wrote most of the book and score of
the newer show do_ not
themselves with politics or ‘social
conditions. Instead they burlesque
their own profession. The only
message they have to offer to the
public is that the average musical
somedy with its fluffy chorus and
s' arp-shooting hero is outmoded.
There are several dull gnoments
in the second act when the authors
fall back on such musty material as
the loquacious waiter who spoils a
big business deal and the young
girl who, indignant that ten drinks
have had no affect on her, leaves
the restaurant on her knees., How-
ever, the act opens brilliantly with
a scene called The Water Sprite.
Miss Imogene Coca, upon whom the

wnain responsibilities of the entire

revue rest, is magnificently ridicu-
lous as she rises from a pit in the

about gaily while stagehands
sprinkle water from the wings.

Meta Mata and Otto Hari per-
form superbly in two dance satires,
Dance of the Fakir and The Acro-
bats. In the former they give a
comic rendition of the dance in the
style of Shan-kar and his Hindu
ballet and in the latter they toe-
dance onto the stage and, having
erected an imaginary . tight-rope
they sway convincingly through a
typical circus act.

Danny Kays, although fairly new
in musical comedy circles, ably sup-
ports Miss. Coca in most of her
skits, taking time off to croon Three
Little Hicks, one of the best num-
bers of the show, with James Shel-
ton and Robert Burton. Mr. Kaye
also sings a solo number, Anatole of
Paris, with considerable finess.

Probably the two songs from the
show that will prove most popular
are Our Town and Four Young
People. Our Town is a platitudi-
nous ditty which is the central core
of a weak version of the Wilder
play. Four Young People is sweetly
sang by Alfred Drake and though
not sensational has considerable
charm.

The Straw Hat Revue is light
stuff but genuinely amusing. It
has few big names connected with
‘t but should get by on its intrinsic
merits.

One Proposes to Get

Although most of the Self-Gov-
Lernment exams showed assiduous
study, several registered a marked
conservatism. One girl told the
examiners that she expected to ob-
tain permission for going out from

or the Trustees of the college.

Two Activities Charges



Plan Covers News and Record
But Omits Charities



Two proposals for an activities
charge to cover participation in
non-athletic extra-curricular activi-
ties:are now being debated at Hav-
erford. Unlike the Bryn Mawr
drive, both Haverford proposals
provide for.a flat charge to be
added to the bill of all students,
though under one program a reduc-
tion of $10 would be made on 53
scholarship rooms, so that the
minimum cost of attending Haver-
ford would not be increased. _

The activities charge would en-
title students to receive the News
and the Record, and attend Cap
and Bells plays and Glee Club con-
Though similar in its gen-
eral purpose of reducing the num-
ber of small bills, the Bryn. Mawr
plan is entirely different in that it
will cover all the usual drives for
charities and projects backed by
the college, and an allotment to

the Players’ Club. It does not,
however, include subscription to

NEW WINTER PLAN

certs.





Small Class to Follow
Up Summer Activities



This winter the Summer Camp
Committee of the Bryn Mawr
League is planning to follow up
the summer’s work in the form of
a weekly class for a group of Main
Line children. Susan Miller, ’40,
head of this year’s committee, is
organizing the work, with the help
of Babs Black, ’41, next year’s
chairman, who will take over the
work later on in the year, and
Nancy Howard, ’41, secretary and
treasurer of the League.

Further assistance is being giv-
en by Kay Hildebrand, graduate
student in the department of so-
cial economy, who is also working
with the Main Line Federation of
Churches. The Federation was so
impressed by the progress made by
the camp during the summer that
it has granted her spare time to
assist in driving the children to
and from their class, and to take
part in the actual work of the
committee.

The group, which consists of ap-
proximately 20 children, from the
ages of 4 to 8, will meet for an
hour every Saturday morning in
the newly reopened Y. M. C. A.
building in Ardmore. Half of the
hour will be taken up with model-
ing, and, later on, with decorations
for .the Christmas party in the
Common Room and with making
wresents for their parents. The
~emainder of the hour will be used
for crzanized group activities.

The necessary funds for the pro-
ject will be supplied from the sur-
plus left over from last year’s
The committee hopes to
start work a week from Saturday.

Mr. Fenwick
Last spring there were still hopes
for peace: the Rome-Berlin axis
was weakening while England and







France were negotiating with
Russia for an alliance to present a

would probably have led to a mili-
tary. alliance if Germany had
started a war.

The first signs of a storm ap-
peared on August 22. Germany
¢oncluded a trade agreement with
Russia. This seemed ominous to
England and France for it was ap-
parent that, unknown to them,
Russia had been negotiating simul-
taneously with their ministers and
Germany’s. On August 24 Ger-
many announced a non-aggression
As Hitler ‘in-
tended, this was a great shock to
England and France.

was defeated by the determination
of the democracies to stand firm.
Hitler then hesitated a whole week,
unwilling to abandon his objective.

land and on September 3 England

The next blow came with
Russja’s invasion of Poland to the
gates of Warsaw, tak more than
half of Poland and cuttihg off Ger-
many from supplies in’ Rumania.
Russia, remaining a neutral yet re-
taining half of Poland, holds the
balance of power as no one will de-
clare war on her.

Russia then secured from Es-
tonia and Latvia the advantage of

Mussolini has declared ‘neutral-

with whom he has a military alli-
ance. Hitler will not drive him into
the enemy’s camp by asking him to
fulfill it.
its original purpose was to protect
Germany from the communism with
which she is now allied.

Hitler is now offering peace on
his own terms but his word is
worthless. The only way to secure
peace is to have the economic power
of the U. S. guarantee it. This she
will not do.

The present embargo on the sale
of arms, ammunition and airplanes
to belligerent countries means that
England and France have no adé-
quate means of replacing airplanes
in an aerial war. The cash and
carry plan means that England and
France will have more difficulty in
securing goods because of the pro-
hibition on American shipping.
Lifting the embargo in part will
offset this advantage because they
will be able to secure some replace-
ments.

was unexpectedly delayed first by
consultations with Mr, Alexander
Wyckoff of May Day fame as to the
best facilities for acting, and then
by a refusal from the State%office
in Harrisburg to accept as suffi-
cient the fire precautions originally
proposed. The additional require-
ments ran the expense beyond the
available funds, and drastic
changes in arrangements were
made, “in the end,’”’ Miss Park said,
“giving us a simpler and actually
better building.”

THE COLLEGE NEWS’





4 Sophomores Filch
Parade Night Song



Freshmen Easily Break Ring
About Fire in Traditional
Ceremonies



Opened officially the morning of
October 3, the new college year
was opened ee that eve-
ning with Parade Might, ~Custom
was faultlessly observed. Es-
corted by the juniors and the Bryn
Mawr Band, the freshmen marched
to the hockey field singing their
song. They broke through the
sophomore ring to the bonfire eas-
ily, but the victory proved inegm-
plete when the sophomores began
singing the parody.
Becky Robbins, Ann Updegraff,
Jacquelins Wilson and Marian
Chester were the heroines who pro-
cured the freshman song, written
to the tune of The Vagabond King:
“Every class of story tells some
tale of glory

43 will tell the best

Though we’re just beginning, yet
our fame we’re winning

And we’ll shine in every test

Though we’re green we never will
be blue

We'll soon ripen, watch us ’42!
Whee-ee-ee

We are full of fire, we will soar up

higher

Til we reach the highest crest.”

The sophomores replied with:

“Every class of glory tells a little
story

About the Parade Night song

Though we’re not beginning ’42 is
winning

And we'll carry right along.

Forward, forward the dark blue
banners go ;

Downward, downward go the green
before the foe. Boom

You ure full of pride, we'll take
‘you for-a ride.

To prove that ’43 is wrong.”

After some: superlative rough-
housing and _ snake dancing all
four classes went to Pembroke
Arch for more singing.

fight if any country in the western
hemisphere were attacked? Yes
75; No 126.

The comments divide into two
groups: first, that “an attack on
Canada, for instance, would be a
serious blow to our own safety;”
second, “yes,.if such country had
done nothing to provoke the attack
and wished to resist—no, if that
fcountry was already in the war
(declared), or if they were willing
to submit to foreign rule.”

5. d. Would you be willing if
the United States maritime rights
were violated: i. e. if American
ships were sunk with American
passengers aboard? Yes 48; No
50. |

Two opinions appear: first, “if
violations continued and were. un-
explained, yes;” second, “if the

‘|President’s recommendations were

enacted into law, I think, this ques-
tion would be largely removed.”

5. e. Would you be willing to fight
if it became apparent that France
and England wefe th danger of de-
feat? Yes 101; No +08.

The comments are: “yes, to me
the turning point of the neutrality
issue;”” “only “A democracy were
sure to survive.’

In addition to these specifie com-
ments, the following extended
opinion was given by one student:
“The United States must, if pos-
sible, keep out of this war. But
in the event of our entrance into
it, opposition by the youth, so
ealled, is childish and stupid. I
know that I voice the ‘opinion of.

many when I say that I would
have no respect for anyone who
would not stand by his country. I
say this despite the sight of six-
teen of my own family who would
be among the first to see action in
the event of war.

“The first thing American youth.

better realize is that they are not
the ones who fight the wars. Such
a view is the extreme in selfish-
ness. Everyone fights: the war, all
ages are affected by it, whether on
the front or‘at home.

“I am no, pacifist—I am not fgr
peace at the price of freedom. I
‘am _ patriotic about my country’s
liberty even though patriotism
seems to be outmoded. But I insist
that the attitude of so many Ameri-
can youth—that they say they will
refuse to fight, and would rather

tbe shot, unless, of course, there is

a recognizable reason, such as re-
ligious principles, why they should
not (the Quakers, for example, do
more good keeping out of. the lines
than in them), this attitude is un-
dermining our country, it is cow-
ardly, and in another - generation,
it: would have been called treason.

“I.am firm in my belief that
American youth should stand to-
gether at this. time, but not in an
attitude of cowardice and fear.
We should all clearly ascertain the
facts, have the courage to stand
by our country, be slow to enter
the fight, but if we enter to give
such a good account of ourselves

The directors of the Delaware
Group were faced with the task

of deporting forty-three students
from France, in“competition with
some 9800 other Americans. The
four of us who were in the Dela-
ware Group look. back upon our
-month in France as one spent in a
more or less ‘constant state jof
evacuation.

The first week, after a brief
glimpse of Paris, was taken up at
‘Tours in tentatively unpacking our
trunks, arranging our cqurses, and
learning how to carry on ‘desultory
conversations in French. As Tours
was a mobilization center, we soon
became accustomed to seeing troops
anywhere and everywhere. It
seemed surprisingly easy to believe
‘that the world was merely passing
through another September “crise.”

By Friday, with the news of Hit-
ler’s attack on Poland, the “pre-
cautionary measure” of evacuating
the group from Tours suddenly
seemed not only advisable, but
necessary. . On Sunday we were
taken, in the last unrequisitioned
bus to be found, to the Breton sea-
port town of St. Nazaire. War
seemed ludicrously remote and im-
possible’ as we drove through the
peaceful and beautiful province. of
Plantagenet Anjou and through
tiny, inactive Breton villagdés. The
actual declarations of war, when
we learned of them, sounded ab-
_surd and utterly incomprehensible.

they moved to St. Brevin L’Ocean,

a seaside village nearby, to await
news of a boat home. After ten
days of provisional classes, sun
bathing, swimming and bicycling,
we set off for Bordeaux, once more
ensconced in practically priceless
buses, to await the sailing of the
Roosevelt and the Manhattan.

Bordeaux contained, among other
things, an almost infinite number
of wild-eyed, penniless Americans,
laying continual seige to the con-
sulate and the harried officials of
the United States Lines. Happily,
we were excluded from that un-
fortunate group. Our directors,
’with vast efficiency and patience,
had obtained for us comparatively
luxt.ious accommodations at the
Cité Universitaire and our pas-
sages, split up. between the Roose-
velt and- the Manhattan, were
finally and definitely assured.

When the Manhattan sailed, dis-
playing large and : comforting
American flags on her sides, she
carried, esides a portion of the
Delaware Group, a fantastic assort-
ment of“people. Toscanini, Stra-
vinsky, Lord Beaverbrook, Helena
Rubenstein,.a mélange of chorus
girls and cowboys and some 1800
others were crammed into every
available nook and cranny.

The experience, as one looks
back on it, seems a curiously de-
tached and unreal one. It was at
times shockingly easy to realize
that the country was in a state
of war; at other times it required
an almost absurd stretch of the
imagination. Whatever one’s reac-

away a very clear impression of
the formidable courage and deter-
mination of the French people.

New Course Covers

Eighteenth Century



Four Departments Combined
To Givyg;General Surveys.
Of the Period :



Last spring four undergraduates
arbitrarily descended upon four
members of the faculty and asked

for a course on the 18th century.
Their plans were vague, other than
that the cotirse was to cover the
history, philosophy, economics, lit-
erature, and science of the period,
and that it would proceed through
student reports in the various fields,
and conclude without an examina:
tion.

Th’'s 18th century course has now
materialized/under the supervision
of Miss Caroline Robbins, associate
Professor of History; Mrs. Grace
DeLaguna, Professor of Philoso-
phy; Miss Mildred Northrup, assis-
tant Professor of Economics, “and
Miss K. Laurence Stapleton, assis-
tant Professor of English.

The course will cover the period
opening with the publication of
Newton’s Principia, covering the
spread of the doctrine of “enlight-
eyment,” and closing with the out-
break of the French Revolution.

During the first semester, empha-
sis will be placed upon the material
background of the time and will in-
clude such topics as the extent of
geographical knowledge, the state
of education, and the‘ organization



Much has already been said on the
subject; but such incredible forti-
tude in the face of catastrophe
cannot be forgotten in a hurry by
anyone who has witnessed it.

easily and quickly perpetrated,
since it is emotional and instinc-
tive and depends only on the will
of one man, class or party. Civili-
zation cannot endure the destruc-
tiveness of such force which de-
stroys “not only the physical life
of the individual, or the nation,. but
the creative instincts of man.”
“As American citizens,” Miss Park
said, “you are bound to acknowl-
edge this particular idea as fun-
damental to life and liberty.” Our
democracy was drawn up to rely
on reason and we still believe it
to be the basis of government.

It is necessary, therefore, for a
multitude of persons to resolve to
study and apply reason, and it is
possible for college students to
form a part of this multitude.

Miss Park urged students to find

od to.current problems. She ap-
pealed to every student to combine
her studies with the study of the
method of reason, to think inde-
pendently on the basis of experi-
ence and fact. “Catch yourself,”
she said, “in inconsist2ne.es and
false analogies. See to it that
your-argument in a discussion is
not disputation, but has its roots.
‘Learn to hold your judgment fluid.”

As means of relating our daily

tion, Miss Park also mentioned the
absorption of information and the
actual giving of charitable help.
She suggested that informal dis-
cussion follow all speeches on cur-
tent affairs and encouraged special-
ized study of information, propa-
ganda and the evaluation of fact.
