Bryn wr, “Associate Professor of
Education and Psychology, as Dean
of Radcliffe, to take effect in Sep-
tember 1940.
Six faculty members have re-
turned this year: Miss Julia Ward,
as Dean of Freshman, Miss Mary
SwindJer who was visiting profes-
sor at the American hool at
Athens last-year, and. Miss Corne-
lia Meigs, Mr. Horace !Alwyne, and
Mr. Charles David from leaves. of

day last. year.
has caused changes in registration
here, not only of the juniors plan-
ning to spend their year abroad,
but also among the graduates. De-
light Tolles, Garrett Fellow of 1938,
is at Bryn Mawr instead’of remain-
ing at Rome a second year. Kathe-
ine Lever, Garrett Fellow, ’39,
postponed her fellowship and is an
instructor at Rochester University.
Jean Holzworth, Workman Fellow
of ’39, is at Yale instead of Italy,
and Louise Dickey, Riegal Fellow
in Archaeology ‘’389, is at Bryn
Mawr, not Athens. Elizabeth Lyle
Huberman, European Fellow ’37 is
at the University of Mexico, not the
University of London. Dewilda
Naramore, European Fellow ’38,
returns to Radcliffe, and Grace
Dolowitz, European Fellow ’39, is
Scholar in Romance Languages at
Bryn Mawr.’ Only one of the usual
four exchange scholars is accepting
an’ appointment at Bryn Mawr—
Francoise Cusin, of Artemare,
Aisne, B.A. Randolph Macon, and
M.A. Wellesley. No American ex-
change scholars go to Europe. Eliz-
abeth Edrop, who was to hold an
exthange scholarship for Switzer-
land, and Hope Wickersham, Amer-
ican Exchange with France, both
remain in the United States. Agnes
Chen, Chinese Graduate Scholar
1936-39, and Scholar in Economics
and Politics 1938-39, is given a
scholarship at Bryn Mawr so she

four short of the 500 limit, has a
greater enrollment than was ex-
pected. The entering class of 164
. is the largest in the history of the
college. Although the Senior class
still resembles the smaller pre-1936
model, it has “unusual stability
and unusual energy” and is able to
carry the responsibilities “which I
have been used to dropping onto
the older students.”
Speaking of Susan Vaux’s death,
Miss Park said, “It is partly be-
cause of the individual responsibi-
lities they will necessarily take that
we feel a peculiar loss in the death
of Susan Vaux of-the Senior Class
who was killed in the terrible
Union Pacific accident of late
August. She was a singularly
stable and mature person who de-
cided, when she was already three
years out of school, to begin on the
long road of medical training and
‘came to Bryn Mawr to get the pre-
liminaries. She lived at home, and
she was a hard worker. But every-
oné who knew her felt her integrity
and strength, combined as it was
with gentleness and charm.”
Among the departmental changes
for the year, Miss Park announced
that the Rotating Research Project
this year had been given to the De-
partment of Spanish. The depart-

and Spanish-American Drama dur-
ing the 16th and 17th centuries. In
addition to the regular fellow and
scholar in Romance Languages, the
Mary Paul Collins Scholarship has
been awarded this year to a student
in Spanish, Frida Weber of Buenos
Aires, B.A. Two more scholars
were also appointed. In addition,
the Mary Flexner Lecturer of this|.
winter, Professor « Arturo-Rioseco
of the University of California, is
to work with the research group
during his six-weeks’ stay in Feb-
ruary and March, and will also lec-
ture to the college at large on
Spanish-American literature.
The Flexner lectures of a year
ago given by Professor’ Ponofsky
have been incorporated into a book,
Studies in Iconography, Humanis-
tic Themes in the Art of the Ren-
aissance, just brought out by the
Oxford Press in the Bryn Mawr
series. Judge Florence Allen’s
Shaw lectures of last year, The
Historical Development of the Con-
stitutional Powers, and the Bryn
Mawr Symposium on Art, by Pro-
fessors Bernheimer, Carpenter,
Koffka and Nahm, are both in
press.
Discussing the obstacles holding
up building construction on camp-
us, Miss Park said that the wing |.
of the library, begun during the
summer, will be completed during
the winter but probably will not be
fully occupied until next fall. The
Theatre Workshop will probably be
available for use after Thanksgiv-
ing. The start on the Workshop
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.”
