Miss King’s Retirement
The place of Miss King is so integral to the college that it is almost

impossible to envisage her retirement this spring. She originated His-
tory of Art here, for years she was the department, and has been the |

guiding force in its growth.into one of the most outstanding units in
college. Several of our brilliant alumnae owe their careers to her and
many of the eollege’s best contributions to scholarship have been writ-
ten either by Miss King herself or inspiréd by her ‘teaching. Her

«years of devotion to Bryn Mawr and her enthusiasm for its ideals have

seldom been surpassed. Despite the difficulties of illness she has
Her personality
has so enriched life on the campus, that only_on the definite promise of
a speedy return.are we reconciled to her departure at all. For all of
this, a constant souree of pride, the college owes a debt of gratitude
which it cannot repay. J

But greater even than the obligations of the college as a body are
those of individuals. Miss King is one of those great teachers who
make ideals of edueation realities for: those who wish to learn. The
vigor with which she presents each point and draws from the cultures
ofthe world to enrich the pageant, ler.peculiar flair for making the
subject take life in the minds of her listeners, most of all her wnerring
taste and relentless searching into new fields have sent all her students
forth with a new will to learn for themselves. Her demands of her
students | and for herself are equalled only~by her sensitive response
to the “slightest spark of real interest. Always she opens new ,woflds-to
her students. When such teaching is becoming rarer on our campus,
Miss King is‘the more outstafiding for her “driving power and cutting
edge.”



Practical Pacifism
The recently proposed central committee for peace projects to be

composed of members of campus organizations. is the active solution to

prevalent -pacifistic mouthings on the ambiguous ideal PEACE... A
highminded pacifist without an earthy knowledge of the contributing
causes, social; economic, and political, of war and peace, is meat for
heeklers. Conducted research by a representative group into these
alleys which are blind to so many of the peacefully nhinded will produce
practical information. On substantial ground we cah proceed to shape
our own idgas of the best method of administering \-peace program,
and stand on our own feet, not entirely on the) congldmerate feet of
others,
our parents, who, though notoriously unconvinced of undergraduate
“gabbling,” nevertheless, if sympathetic, have move influence in more
communities than we. =

An investigation of the reasons why the Buenos Aires Conference
was unsuccessful in limiting arms and in its neutralization policy, and




why it was successful in drafting an extension of the Monroe Doctrine

is'a fertile field in which to seek information. It uncovers numerous
angles of the relations.among the countries of the Western Hemisphere.
Faculty and outside speakers in discussions and debates inevitably shed
light on confused issues, such as international law, economic’ balance of
trade, and the differences in the standards of living in various countries.
The News is reserving a eolumn in which to report succinct statements
on pacifist projects, particularly in this part of the east, as well as
campus opinions on all such movements. | are

ABROAD AT. HOME





Philadelphia is actually known as|
the city of a thousand churches. There
are’ five’ old ones—which~are histori-|
cally as well as quaintly interesting,
and we mention them here in antici-
pation of some lazy, sunny spring day
when Bryn Mawr becomes tedious.

We begin with Christ Church lo-
cated on Second Street between Mar-
ket and Arch. If you have no car
available, the best way to get there
is to take a trolley on Market Street,
stay on it until you’ get to Second
Street (almost in the Delaware River)
and then disembark, and go half a

founded in 1695, was enlarged in 1711,
and reconstructed on the style of St.
Martin’s-in-the-Fields, ~London. In
1754. a chime of eight bells was
brought from London and hung in the
tower.

Until 1761 this was the only Epis-

al“€hurch in Philadelphia. Pews
where Washington, the Penn’ family,
the Franklin family, Robert gain
and Betsy Ross -worshipped ar
marked out for the casual observer.

In the Christ Church-burial ground,
a few blocks away at Fifth and Arch,
Benjamin Franklin’s grave may be
viewed from behind iron bars.

Old St. George’s Methodist-Episco-
pal Church on North 4th Street, near
the -ramp of the Delaware River
Bridge, was the scene of the first an-

ers in America. During the British
occupation of Philadeiphia
stripped to its walls and used as a
riding school’ for the cavalrymen. It
was almost demolished- when the Del-
aware River Bridge was erected, but
Methodist’ protest left it standing—a
colonial ve in the midst of bus-
tling intef-state traffic.

St. Joséph’s Church on Willing’s
Alley (the first small street after
Walnut, down around 4th Street) is
a picturesque heir to the site of the
oldest Roman Catholic chapel in Phil-
adelphia. For over a hundred years,
1782-1837, the Chapel, which was
feighteen by twenty-eight feet, was
used .by a missionary- priest.: Then
the present building was erected just
one hundred years ago this: year.

Gloria Dei Church, otherwise known
as Old Swedes’ Church, is one of the
most interesting in-the—city. Situ-
ated near Second’ and Christian
Streets, it replaced an old log’ block-
house which was a thutch in 1677
in'the Swedish Settlement then known
as Wicaco. The present church was
built in 1700; entirely of stone, and
was regarded as a masterpiece at that
time. The services were conducted
by a Lutheran minister sent’ over. by

instructions of | King

died in 183T and, since all aid.from
the old country had been discontinued
after the Revolution, thegChurch was
admitted into the Protestant Episeo-
pal. Church in 1845.

The last of the five churches is at
4th and Pine, its lot being donated
by Thomas and Richard Penn‘for the

Church. It’ was used as a hospital
during the Revolution, and later as a
cavalry stable when the British oc-
cupied Philadelphia. Among the in-
teresting graves is that of ‘William
Currie, who rang the Liberty Bell on
July 8, sl (or so they claim).

PEACE PROJECTS

The Emergency Peace Campaign,
headed by Harry Emerson Fosdick,
Admiral Richard E. Byrd, Ray New-
ton and Charles P. Taft, II, and spon-
sored by leaders from all parts of
the country, is the most practical,
well-organized and promising move;
ment against war that has yet been
launched in America. To attain its
goal of keeping this country out of
war ‘and furthering international
friendship it is attempting to unite
all peace-minded individuals in a tre-
mendous drive and is supported by
church, school, , labor and or-,
ganiZed peace. groups.

The idea “for a nation-wide peace
movement evolved @ 2 a conference





of peace leaders (at Buckhill Falls,
Pennsylvania, in..‘December, 1935.
After several succeeding conferences
a planned campaign was. launched full
force under the leadership of prdémi-
nent mem from all professions, pre-
senting as its purpose: (1) strength-
ening pacific alternatives to armed
conflict 7° (2) bringing about such po-
litical and economic changes as are
essential to a just and peaceable world
order; (8) recruiting and uniting in
a dynamic movement all organizations’
and individuals who are determined
not to approve of or participate in
war; (4) acquainting peace-minded
people with the program and policies
of the member- organizations of the
National Peace Conference and other
péace groups. |

Among the organizations which are
supporting the Campaign are the
American Friends’ Service Committee,
the Foreign Policy -Association, the
League of Nations Association; the ©
National. Boards of the YM. .C. A.
and the Y. W.:C. A., the American
League Against War and Fascism, the
American Student Union, the World
Peace Foundation, and the World Al-
liance for International Friendship
through the Churches.
