‘Monday morning,
Coleman Makes Plea
For Humor, Serenity
Despite War Despair
At the ‘College Assembly on
the Reverend
Michael Coleman, Vicar of All-
Hallows by the Tower, London,
spoke on his experiences in Enz-
land. During such experiences
and similar ones which we are
likely to meet in the present situa-
tion, he believes that a sense of
humor and serenity are valuable
assets.
Father Coleman, since his parish
is in London,. and since he is ac-
tively attached to the Demolition
gangs, Bomb Disposal squads, and
other civilian defense groups, '.as
seen “how people in London are
feeling about the essential things
in life.” He likened their struggle
to see the Light of God through
the blackness of danger, despair,
and fear, to Christian’s search, !n
Pilgrim’s Progress, for the ‘“wick-
et gate” and the “shining light.”
What we need most to preserve
in wartime, and what is most like-
ly to be sacrificed, according to
| Father Coleman, are our sense of
humor and our serenity. The
British, he asserted, have succeed-
ed in retaining their characteristic
humor during the difficulties and
tragedies of wartime.
As for our sense of serenity;
Father Coleman said that we
Americans, in our “delicious coun-
try,” are too likely to be ruled by
the. newspaper headlines, while the
British have learned in the course
of the war, not to be unduly im-
pressed by them.
He stated that the most impor-
tant thing to remember is that we
must win the peace after the war.
We won the last war but lost the

Research Fellowship
Given by Foundation
To Miss Oppenheimer
One of the awards of the seven-
teenth annual series of Guggenheim
Fellowships went to- Miss Oppen-
heimer of the Bryn Mawr Biology
‘ Department. These fellowships are
granted to research workers, schol-
ars, artists, and others who by
their previous work have shown
themselves to be unusually able.
Miss Oppenheimer hopes to go to
Cornell Medical School to make an
experimental analysis of the struc-
ture and function of the bony fish
central nervous system. Most of
the research projects of the Fel-
lows are long-range, and the Gug-
genheim Foundation believes that
!interruption of the continuity of
such fundamental work would re-
sult in unestimable loss.
| Miss Oppenheimer’s work is al-
ready started, and the fellowship
has been given to her specifically
to enable her to continue. She has
collected and fertilized eggs from
the bony fish, fundulus heteroclitus,
and has operated on and preserved
embryos in various stages of de-
velopment. It remains for, her,
next year, to section these embryos
and make a study of them.
Fundulus_ heteroclitus, a small
minnow, lives in the New Haven
harbor. Miss Oppenheimer has
caught many in a wire trap baited
with a bone. In the laboratory,
she operates microscopically on the
fertilized eggs at different stages
of their embryological development,
cutting the tissues before the or-
gans are formed in such a way as
to produce abnormal formation of
the brain.

Detailed Description Given
Of Work of Clubs
And Committees
In the reports given at the in-
auguration last week there was
time for only a brief mention of
the many clubs and committees on
campus whose activities, although
perhaps unrealized by some, are of
general interest and importance.
Several organizations are new.this
year, and the foremost of these is
the Alliance, formed as a commit-
tee of the Undergraduate Associa-
tion. Its object has been to coordi-
nate all defense activities under
one association in cooperation with
the Faculty Defense Group, and it
has taken the place of last year’s
Forum. The Alliance board was
elected at a college mass meeting,
with Mary Gumbart for chairman.
Under its sponsorship an exten-
sive and highly succesgful program
of defense courses has been offered
tothe students and to outside mem-
bers of the community, and an op-
portunity has been provided to
learn and discuss the issues of the

Disciplinary Problems
Discussed in Meeting
In keeping with the times, the
delegates to the annual Seven Col-
lege Conference met in an official
air raid shelter of Radcliffe Col-
lege last Sunday.. Student disci-
pline, social organization and ex-
tra-curricular activities were dis-
cussed by delegates from Radcliffe,
Smith, Vassar, Wellesley, Mount
Holyoke, Barnard and Bryn Mawr,
with Bennington as the guest—col-
lege.
Familiar to Bryn Mawr eyes
were splints and bandages, for the
room, in the basement of Barnard
courses,
Most of the morning discussion
dealt with social regulation: ju-
dicial courts, fines and penalties.
These considerations, which pre-
sent the greatest problems to all
the seven colleges, do not seem to
command attention at Bennington,
where emphasis is more upon en-
lightenment and integration of the
individual than upon discipline.

Incoming presidents of the Self-
Government -and~ Undergraduate
Associations, the Bryn. Mawr
League and the Athletic Associa-
tion, formally took office last
Thursday, donning the gowns. of
their predecessors in the tradition-
al ceremony. Frances Matthai was
inaugurated as President of the
Self-Government Association, Sal-
ly Matteson of the Undergraduate
Association, Helen Eichelberger of
the Bryn Mawr League, and Lucia
Hedge received the Athletic assoei-
ation gavel for the absent presi-
dent, Mimi Boal. The out-going
presidents gave their reports.
After Diana Lucas, Treasurer of
the Self-Government Association,
had reported, Kitty McClellan, ex-
president of the Association gave a
summary of the year’s activities.
She expressed her disappointment
at the unimpressive record of the
past year and the hope that the
coming year would prove a worthy
start for the next fifty years of
‘Self-Government.
Vivi French’s report on the Un-
Of Student Chairmen ergraduate Association’s activi-
ties for the year followed that of
Anne Heyniger, treasurer of the
Association. Vivi spoke of the
‘amendments of the constitution,
the assemblies, and the mass meet-
ings, which have included one on
May Day, and one on the Alliance.
She explained the origin and pur-
pose of the Alliance and announced
the dissolution of the Entertain-
Teoh Committee owing to its fail-
|
ure this year. There will-be-no big

The central interest of the Cur-

lain in working on a reading peri-
od, with the suggestion that mid-
year examinations be abolished for
upper classmen, The Faculty Com-

Disciplinary Problems
Discussed in Meeting
Continued from Page 9%ne
As the problem of fines was dis-
cussed, it was found that in most
of the colleges they tend to be-
come too automatic. Mount Holy-
oke and Smith have a cumulative
system, where the penalty for small
offenses increases from year to
year.
The authority granted to hall
presidents seemed to vary in the
different colleges. At Radcliffe the
board of hall presidents is almost
the equivalent of the executive
board of the Self-Government As-
sociation at Bryn Mawr. Most
colleges have a judicial board of
some kind. As Vassar, however,
the sole authority rests with the
chief justice, except in extreme
cases. Radcliffe and Wellesley do
not make their cases public as we
do.
It -was interesting to discover
that at several colleges problems
of stealing, academic infringements
and library violations are han-
dled by student authorities.
Social organization was the sec-
ond main heading on the agenda.
Coordination of activities has been
accomplished by all the colleges in
different ways. Clubs at Vassar
have charters which must be re-
newed annually, with statements of
aims and programs.
Radcliffe proposed the question
of student support of extra-cur-
ricular activities. At Bennington,
where all activities are included as
part of the curriculum, such prob-
lems do not arise.

Pitoeft to Perform
Dramatic Monologue
About Jeanne D’Are
Mme. Ludmilla Pitoéff, interna-
tionally celebrated actress of the
Théatre Pitoéff of Paris, will give
a dramatic reading in the Theatre
Workshop on Monday, April 20, at
8.15. Well known for her perform-
Saint Joan, Mme. Pitoéff will read
extracts from the original Trial of
Jeanne d’Arc and from Charles Pe-
guy’s “Mystére de la Charité de
Jeanne d’Arc.” The program is.to
be held under the auspices of the!
French departments of Bryn Mawr
and Haverford Colleges and of the
Baldwin and Shipley Schools. The
reading will be in French.
Mme. Pitoéff was the wife of
Georges Pitoéff, exponent of the
psychological theatre of unrest rep-
resented by such authors as Le-
Bernard Shaw; renowned for his
stage presence until his death in
1939. The Théatre Pitoéff. first
reached fame in Geneva during the
last war. The Pitoéffs later played
in Paris, but always with their
own company.
Besides having been active in
the theatre, Mme. Pitoéff is the
mother of seven children. She was
acclaimed in her performances as
Marthe in Claudel’s L’Exchange,
as Ophelia in Shakespeare’s Ham-
let, as well as in Saint Joan. The

Theory to Practice
The experimental days of the Alliance are over.
“slamor” of a new organization has had time to wear on.
the Alliance is to be the really integral part of wartime college
life which it was intended to be, it must begin now to realize more
fully than before its original principles.
The Alliance can fulfill these principles, we think. It is well
on the way to doing so. - Through it the college can contribute to
the war effort and to the longer-range peace effort, but success of
the program depends on the realization of inadequacies in this
first year’s work.
Although activity, especially in many defense courses, has
often been productive, it has attained few results, particularly in
the part of the Alliance program, which has been called educa-
tional. Naturally, some of the original ideas of the Alliance died
in embryo, for plans always change in execution; but there are
other parts of the program which, although begun, have not been
carried to their full extent.
The defense courses, well attended, have filled an urgent
need for action. They may be classified in three divisions: prepa-
ration for immediate emergency in first aid ard auto mechanics
The possible
courses; training for administrative defense work in typing and |
shorthand classes; and consideration of long range problems in the
post-war reconstruction, group leadership and community survey
courses.
The first kind are necessary courses and seem universally
satisfying. But the courses in the second and third divisions need
correlation with actual practical defense work. A step toward
their application is the summer jobs program, but it cannot supply
the entire solution -te-the problems raised by the courses in the
third classification, which are vital to the original principles of the
Alliance—to. an “effort not only toward maintaining our democ-
racy, but also toward broader and enduring social benefits.”
Although intended to be long-range, the courses are too
purely theoretical, and their scope is thus narrowed. The cry is
for practical application. In spite of limited time, some method
of using in the community the special qualifications and oppor-
tunities of college students should be found.
The diffuseness of a.study without a practical outlet should
be eliminated; the energies of interested students should be di-
“rected and focused, and this can be done, not only through sum-
mer jobs, but through ascertaining the needs of the surrounding
community and through working at actual part-time social service.
| Model League
The Model League teport makes interesting reading. It
shows clearly that a great deal of time and effort was spent on a
subject that demands both; namely, post-war reconstruction,
But it would seem ‘that the commissions were traversing a
- dead end street. The structure and philosophy of the League
derives its rodts from-another era, an era that placéd its faith in
legal procedures, that idealistically expected every party to abide
by the rules of the game. When it was found that this did not
occur, the whole structure collapsed. International law of the last
decade is punctuated with “should have beens.” The Model
League could be an organization that recognized the inherent
opposition of collectivism and self-determination, it could perceive
the inherent flaws in the structure and power of the real League,
and profiting from its unhappy experience, could contribute to the
formation of a new political philosophy for an actual, not a theo-
retical, world.

“Something Off My Chest
We've got to believe. It’s the same thing as living, and we’re
enduring this killing now, that.life may go on—real life, a think-
ing, feeling, loving life, not the hand-to-mouth mechanics of exist-
ence. If we lose our faith, we’ve lost the fight already—we’re as
good as dead then.
Believe that it’s worth fighting fbr. Believe that the job is
being well done, for the most we can do is the best we can do—
maybe our most can be made bigger later, but for now we’re
doing all and that is sufficient. Believe that the government is
solvent—the real asset of a government is only the ‘faith of ‘its
people. Take that away and no government can stand, but with it
a government is strong. The mines and the forests, the roads and
the buildings, and, most of all, the people, are the assets of Amer-
ica, and faith in these things makes us a united nation.
~The tempo of life is quickened now, so that our’ valor is
called upon. Better that it prove itself than that it lie dormant
and untested. The problems of today’s life may be different,
unexpected, heavy, but living is the same process. The same
truths hold in any time. Courage and honesty can answer all the
questions, and the same joy and happiness will come from the
solution of them.
_ Believe in mankind.and..fight as you are best fitted, as each
one may think for himself—those who ‘think by rote are fot much
of men. Believe, because we know that our principles are good.

To Give Free Concert
An unusual organization of mu-
sic lovers, founded with the pur-
pose of bringing good music free to
everyone, has been established on
the Main Line, and its members
are now working in preparation
for the first concert on April 28.
On that Tuesday night, at 8.30,
Tri-County Concerts Association
will present in recital William Kin-
caid, distinguished first flutist with
the Philadelphia Orchestra, and
Miss Edna Phillips, formerly first
harpist with the same organiza-
tion. The concert will be held in
the auditorium of the Radnor High
School, Wayne, and will be open
with no reservations to the music-
loving public.
Mrs. Edward H. Ten Broeck of
Berwyn is president of the new
Association, while Mrs. Truman D.
Weller and Miss Essylt Evans,
both of Bryn Mawr, serve as sec-
retary and treasurer respectively.
All officers and members of the As-
sociation have served and will con-
tinue to serve without compensa-
tion since they are convinced, ac-
cording to Miss Evans, that Su
these days of world chaos, it ia|
more important than ever before
to foster and preserve those cul-
tural values without which our
civilization is doomed.”
The Tri-County Concerts Asso-
ciation plans to continue its free
concerts as long as public interest
warrants, and as long as support,
both financial and of service, is
forthcoming. The program for the
first concert is:

he continued, “and Washington is
the most exciting place in the

Mr. Anderson is in Washington
as price administrator in the Lead,
Tin, Zinc, and Non-Ferrous Metals
division of OPA. His description
of Washington and the Govern-
ment was both enthusiastic and en-
couraging. “The town is really
wonderful, and apparently there
has been some Fifth Column prop-
aganda about living conditions,”
he’asserted. The food is not only
cheap, it is good. Room rents are

dae and cleanliness are demanded |

Deanery, April 9.—Dr. Ruth S.
Tolman, chairman of the Sub-Com-

Psychologists, a part of the Na-
tional Research Council, discussed
the opportunities for women psy-
tional guarantee of the social, po-' chologists in jobs and in war-time
litical and economic rights of all
peoples from all nations.
The Commission of Intellectual
Reconstruction expressed the de-
sire of the nations to abolish illit-
eracy as much as possible, to re-
store the fallen scholastic institu-
tions, and to establish such a sys-
tem of studies that there may be
a better understanding of the civil-
ization and culture of the nations
of the world, especially by the ex-
change of scholars and students
between nations within which each
cultural and religious group may
pursue its interests unimpeded.
The philosophy of this education is
based on the four freedoms—free-
dom of thought, religion, freedom
from fear and want; it is the fun-
damental belief of this commission
that the soundest foundation for
international harmony and pros-
perity is based on these. cardinal
principles.
| Capt. Littauer Gives
~ TIlustrated Lecture
Music Room, April 10.—The dif-
ference between dressage and field
riding was presented by Captain
Littauer, former president of the
Boots and Saddles Club, to an audi-
ence of both students at Radnor
Ride and members of the college.
A brief lecture preceded movies
showing schooling for field riding
and demonstration of dressage.
Dressage is the collected move-
ment of a horse in which the hind-
quarters are drawn under, the neck
up and the head down. This re-
produces the stimulated movements
of a horse, while field riding ex-
presses. the ordinary - movement.
The latter is an extended move-
ment with a long, fleet stride close
to the ground. It is the modern
and more efficient schooling; fast
progress cannot be made with the
old-fashioned dressage. Saddle
horses should be trained only in
field riding and no horse should
be schooled in both movements.
The first part of the movie
showed Captain Littauer giving
half-turns, circles, zig-zag, counter-
gallop, false leads and change of
leads in a demonstration of field
riding. In the second portion of
the film;-Captain Jousseaume, prize
rider of the French cavalry, dem-
onstrated these same exercises in
dressage movement. The dressage
was a lovelier, more graceful ac-
tion, but, as Captain Littauer dé

sary to make full use of these
opportunities.
Dr. Tolman pointed out that the
large field for psychologists in
working with the armed forces is
virtually closed to women. How-
ever, about 500 psychologists of
both sexes are employed in gov-
ernment departments: the Depart-
ments of Agriculture, of Labor,
and of Social Securities. These
jobs are filled almost exclusively
from the Civil Service registers.
Valuable training for this field is
in social and applied psychology,
propaganda analysis, and _statis-
tics.
The largest opening for women
in psychological work, as in all
other, is in replacing men who
have been drawn into military
service. The universities and clin-
ics will be eager to accept women
who have had a sound, basic train-
ing.
There are many more opportuni-
ties for work than there are paid
jobs. There is a need for enter-
prise and initiative in making use
of trained psychologists at local
levels. Planning child care in case
of evacuation, testing in local draft
boards to eliminate the mentally
unfit early, and selecting and clas-
sifying industrial workers would
; all be beneficial to the community.
The problem of morale is, of course,
paramount today. In the post-war
world psychologists will be of un-
limited value in the rehabilitation
work among the discharged soldiers
and, especially, the wounded.

certain Spartan element, a convic-
tion that it does not live solely for
its own interest. Economically, we
are unprepared because our idea
has been to cut production, to live
in a “prohibition mentality,” to
think that our frontiers are finish-
ed. We have even failed intellect-
ually, in that our Army cannot
find sufficient men with a know-
ledge of higher mathematics; we
do not know enough languages.
The war has found us badly armed
and badly prepared and now finds
us losing two fronts. Youth must
forget luxury, because, Miss
Thompson states, “We are not 30-
ing to be rich. We are getting pro-
gressively poorer.”
A great shortage of farm labor
faces us, and, while the Govern-
ment is asking for more protein
food, farms are being abandoned.
There is a need to build up our
food reserve for post-war days,
even as there is a need to build up
our morale. Miss Thompson makes
an appeal to the youth of America
“to help the farmers, in this essen-
tial war work, to bring in the food
we need.” From 1000 to 2000 boys
over sixteen and girls over eight-

Varied Piano Recital
By Posy Kent, ’45
Deanery, April 12.—A program
ranging from Bach to Beethoven
was presented by Francis Madeira,
young pianist and Graduate Fel-
low at the Juillard School of Mu-
sic. ~The-condition of the piano
made it difficult to judge his per-
formance accurately; his touch
was strong but lacked variety of
tone. Often he displayed brilliance
without unity. Passages which
might have been impressive were
merely loud.
The program opened with a cho-
rale by Bach Nun Komm der Hei-
den Heiland, arranged for piano
by Busoni. This was followed by
Beethoven’s Sonata in D, Op. 10,
No. 3. A group of Chopin Etudes!
and Preludes was included in the
second half of the program, and
these were skillfully handled. Pro-
kofieff’s Vision Fugitive was per-
formed with light touch, and Jar-
din sous la Pluie by Debussy was
pleasantly executed. Mr. Madeira
was at his best in the Grundfeld

waltzes by Strauss, and De Falla’s
Firedance was an effective encore.

The annual meeting of the Alum-!

Among the speakers representing

_Miss McBride spoke informally.
She advised against acceleration
for women’s colleges, saying that
since the senior year is the one in
which the most independent and
mature work is done, it would be
better if it were not fused with the
junior year. She suggested indi-
vidual acceleration if necessary,
but not a set program.
Miss McBride emphasized - the
importance of trained students, cit-
ing Chris Waples as an example
of one already at work. She spoke
of the Bryn Mawr faculty already
called away and expressed the hope
that the gaps made by their ab-
sence might be made up in co-
operation with Haverford and
Swarthmore.
Miss Stapleton spoke on A Few

cussed curriculum problems in the
light of the war situation. First
mentioning the new courses which
have already risen from this, she
then considered future develop-
ments.

Helpful Hints in Biology 1. Have you come to the un-
pleasant discovery that you’ve got a lot of whalebone,
and as a result you’re definitely’ B.A.? There’s small
comfort in being a Kelly, and you can’t expect to catch
a Casanova unless you get watef-wings on the subject
of perfect grooming. Then—look/to your country air, and
do your fingernails with longer-lasting Dura-Gloss. Then
see if the supermen don’t think you're on the minutes.

at school. Biology 1: boy problem. Whalebone:; ‘
old-fashioned ideas. B.A.; Before Adam: with-
