FIND POOL OVERHEATED



Last Thursday eight international
hockey teams played in mixed teams
on the two Bryn Mawr fields. Al-
though they had the disadvantage
of. being chosen at random, there
was evidence in the individual play-
ing that Bryn Mawr was watching
hockey at its best; that here the great-
est players’in the world. were matched
against each other. Those who ap-
preciated that fact, as well as those
who knew less about hockey, were
thrilled at the exhibition.

After the games were over, mem-
bers of the Varsity hockey squad en-
tertained the visiting players with
tea in the various halls.. One or two
South Africans and Scots sampled
our pool, thought it very nice for
an indoor pool, but preferred to
emerge from the water cooled off in-
stead of overheated.

The teas apparently “were enjoyed
by hostesses and visitors alike. The

._latter showed great interest in the

college and in general living condi-
tions in America as regards prices,
weather and other ‘things pertaining
to our daily existence.

Directly following the teas the
teams were taken to the Deanery for
buffet supper and thence to Goodhart,
where they prepared to entertain us
with numerous skits.

The performers were in alphabet-
ical order, beginning with Australia
and ending with Wales. The Austra-
lians, whose mascot is the kangaroo,
presented a mock opera called An-
tonio in which almost everyone was
killed, even the author of the play,
who was dressed in. plain ordinary
Bryn Mawr cap and gown. At each
chorus number the dead arose, flit-
ted around the stage singing, “He has
killed me, so keep dancing,” etc., with
a “Rule, Britannica,” thrown in.

England, champions in the tourna-
ment last week, gave a play, Tisiphas
and Miss Hemingway, in which Tisip-
has was an Egyptian mummy.

Ireland gave Scenes from Shakes-
peare consisting of a portrayal of
the development of the hockey player
from the infant, “dribbling and turn-

‘ ing” in its nurse’s arms, to the has-

been, who can hardly hobble onto the
field. This was followed by some
Irish folk-songs, including “Come
Back to Erin” and “Would God I
Were a Tender Apple Blossom.”
Scotland gave a long series of skits,
divers in subject and attitude, one
of which was a dance by the quin-
tuplets.: The whole series was called

International Hockey Conference -







Albright’s Art Violent
In Self - Expression



Exhibit Committee Announces
Display of Paintings by Noted
Chicago Artist



USES ORIGINAL METHOD



(Especially contributed by Jean

Lamson, ’37.)

It gives great pleasure to the Com-
mon Room Exhibit Committee to be
able to announce that its series of ex-
hibits for the year will open Thurs-
day of this week with the work of
Ivan Le-Lorraine Albright, of .Chi-
cago.

Mr. Albright is undoubtedly one of
America’s most outstanding contem-
porary artists. Born in 1897, he
studied at the Chicago Art Institute
as a special scholarship student from
1919 to 1923. Following this, Mr.
Albright went for a:year to the Acad-
emy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia;
to the National Academy of Design,
New York, and to the Ecole des Beaux
Arts in Nantes. He is probably most
widely known here in America through
the international exhibits at the Car-
negie Institute, Pittsburgh.

Mr. Albright has received numerous
awards of distinction, such as the John
C. Shaffer .prize in Chicago and the
Post prize of the Pennsylvania Acad-
emy of the Fine Arts. His painting,
Ida, one of the six oil paintings that
will hang in the Common Room, won
the gold medal given by the Chicago
Society of Artists in 1931.

Perhaps the most immediate char-
acteristics of Mr. Albright’s art is its
almost violent power to speak for it-
self. It has been suggested, for in-
stance, that Mr. Albright’s art is
philosophical; that is, it is concerned
with the relation of time to life; that
it is psychological in its portrayal of
the effects of time on character. It
is true that Mr. Albright takes from
two to four years to complete a single
painting, and has ample opportunity
to watch his subject change beneath
his eyes.

Whether or not this method of

Leering Jack-O’-Lanterns Watch Denbigh
Dine and Dance ’Til Twelve on Hallowe’en



With the usual phalanx of specta-
tors at each available window, some
fifty Denbighites and their escorts
danced and ate their way to a success-
ful “Hall Dance” from 7.30 to 12 Sat-
urday evening.

Supper was served buffet style in
the show case, and eaten on every
sort of chair, floor and stair space in
the smoking rooms and lower corri-
dor, after which there was a general
migration to the dining room for
dancing.

The dancing, however, did not begin
with the alacrity everyone had been
led to expect.- It seems while one car-

load of musicians arrived safely, the:

other was detained by the pianist
developing a case of acute appendi-
citis inconveniently en route. When
said pianist had been confided to the

care of a doctor and another had been

- procured, section two of the orches-
tra proceeded on its way and the party
continued. The music was provided
by Bill Sharp and his orchestra. ,

In the middle of the evening John
Whittaker, the Denbigh porter, tap

mates of Denbigh, who had seen him
do it before, and the male contingent,
to whom his talents were something
new. To complete the entertainment
Marie Bischoff, 38, sang her famous
rendition of “Frankie and Johnnie.”

The dining room, smoking rooms
and show case were decorated for the
occasion with pine branches, timothy
grass and jack-o-lanterns, leering and
smiling in a variety of grotesque ex-
pressions.

Mr. and Mrs. Max Diez, Mr. and
Mrs. Wells and M. Guiton were the
members of the faculty invited to be
present.
line were Miss Frances Follin Jones,
warden; Mrs. Henry Gould, hall man-
ager, and Josephine Ham, 737, hall
president, to whom a great deal of



danced to the delight both of the in-.

Bryn Mawr Receives
World Peace Honor

Charles: G. Fenwick Delegated
To Attend the Conference
Of Inter-America





HULL IS U. S. LEADER



It has been announced offically that
Charles G. Fenwick, of the Depart-
ment of Economics and Politics, is to
be one of the United States delegates
of the Inter-American Conference for
the Maintenar.ce of Peace, which will
be held at Buenos Aires in December,
1936. The delegation will be headed
by, Secretary Cordell Hull and Assist-

ant Secretary Sumner Welles.

The purpose of the conference is to
attempt to lay a basis for peaceful
relations between the states of this
hemisphere.’ Having as its most di-
rect cause the recently ended Chaco
controversy, it is distinct from the
Pan-American Conference. i 8
hoped that through the efforts of this
assembly other tragedies similar to
the Chaco dispute may be averted,
and the cause of world peace ad-
vanced.

The college is to be congratulated
on the distinction which comes to it
from the selection of a member of its
faculty as a delegate from the United
States to the conference. The oppor-
tunity for service is a great one; for
it is generally recognized that the
United States can, by assuming a po-
sition of leadership in the cause of
peace in this hemisphere, aid in the
prevention of future wars between
American States, and also set an ex-
ample of cooperation whith may have
far-reaching consequences.

Mr. Fenwick has long been a stu-
dent of international law. His first
work entitled, “The Neutrality Laws
of the United States” published be-
fore his coming to Bryn Mawr, was
in wide use in this country during the
controversies over neutrality preced-
ing our entrance into the World War.
Since com'ng to Bryn Mawr, he has
published a treatise on International
Law, now in its second edition, which
is used in universities and colleges
throughout the country. He has also
published a collection of judicial de-
cisions involving technical questions
of International Law under the title
of Cases on International Law. He
is an associate editor of the /nterna-
tional Law Journal and has contri-
buted numerous editorials emphasiz-
ing the need for development of In-
ternational Law into a more effective
legal system.

STUDENTS OF NATION



How colleges and_ universities
throughout the country voted in the
recent..election has been graphically
shown in the Daily Princetonian Na-
tional. Collegiate Poll. Ninety-five
colleges, in 34 different. states, were
represented in the 80,598 votes cast.
Although the final count showed
Roosevelt in the lead with 38,977 votes
as against 35,708 for Landon, Landon
captured 18 states to Roosevelt’s 16,
and obtained 27 more electoral votes.

With but two exceptions, Illinois
and Michigan, Roosevelt states were
in the south, and from west of the
Mississippi, while those showing a
majority Republican vote were lo-
cated along the Atlantic seaboard.
Missouri, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas,
Colorado and Ohio were the mid:
western and western states giving
their vote to the Landon party.

The large eastern men’s colleges:
Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth,
Amherst, Williams, Brown and M., I.
fA were in all cases predominantly
Republican, Johns Hopkins, however,
showed a majority vote for Roosevelt.

“Big Seven” Vote Divided

Of the five eastern women’s colleges
of the’ “Big Seven” from which re-
turns were made, Vassar and Smith,
in addition to Bryn Mawr, went Re-
publican, while Barnard and Radcliffe
went Democratic. The smaller east-
ern women’s colleges, Sarah Lawer-
ence, Skidmore, Hood -and. Connecti-
cut College for Women showed, a
large Republican majority.

In the state universities of Wash-
ington, Ohio, Iowa, Kentucky, Ver-
mont and Montana, Landon was
superceded by Roosevelt, but in most
cases the latter’s majority was not an
exceedingly large one. Landon was
the victor in Michigan, California,
Colorado, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Idaho and, by a small majority, in
Delaware.

East Strongly Republican

A general tabulation of the princi-
pal vote in the four main sections of
the country, namely the east, south,
middle west and west, shows a Re-
publican dominance in the east only.
Of the three sections showing a Demo-
cratic dominance, the south is in the
lead, with the middle west and west
following in that order.

In most of the large eastern col-
leges, exclusive of state universities,
the Socialist vote was significantly
larger than the Communist one. M.
I. T. and Radcliffe were the two ex-
ceptions to this.

Of the five colleges of the “Big
Seven” previously mentioned, from
whom returns were made, Barnard
cast the largest proportional Social-
ist vote. Following, in_order, were
Vassar, Bryn Mawr, ith, and Rad-
cliffe. The largest Communist vote,
on a similar basis, was also made at
Barnard. Here again Vassar follows
with the next largest vote, with Rad-
cliffe, Smith and Bryn Mawr bring-
ing up the rear.

‘Seeing Eye’ Moves
= Under Inspiration
“Of Active Spirit



Lecture a Gretchen Green
Illustrated by, Shepard
Lead Dog.



BLIND PEOPLE TAUGHT
_ TO USE TRAINED DOGS

Common Room, November 2.— ™
Through depression, comedy and dis-
collragement The Seeing Eye has per-
sisted in its unusual work under the
inspiration of its slogan, “A winner
never quits and a quitter never wins.”
With this notation upon the spirit
which guides the workers of the school,
Gretchen Green, author and lecturer,
began her informal talk to illustrate
how dogs can bring light to the blind.

The present attitude toward dogs
and their blind masters is a far cry
from the days when sightless people
were placed in insane asylumns.
Even the attitude toward canine in-
telligence has changed and we find
that animals in the company of their |
masters are admitted to buses, street
cars, churches and even concert halls.

Mr. John Field, who was present
with his dog, Loulette, remarked that
he need only display the card which
The Seeing Eye issues to its gradu-
ates and all doors of normal life and
activity are opened to him. Loulette
is an appreciative listener, and when
laughter and applause are loud she
adds her “woof” to the general ap-
proval; she.is an example of just one
of the many dogs thag have been
trained at Morristown to serve with-
out question and act with full respon-
sibility.

In 1928 the first movement was
started in this country by Morris
Frank, in response to an article in the
Saturday Evening Post by Mrs. Har-
rison Eustis. She began to work at
first in Switzerland... Dogs were
purchased at a small sum and boarded
out to peasant families. Two weeks
of-character testing followed and then
the school felt assured of the animal’s
responsibility.

German shepherd dogs were chosen
because they are of the proper size
and weight and exhibit an inherent
love to serve. This is due to the many
years in which these animals have
guarded the sheep herds of Germany.
After three months of training by
masters who had themselves been
trained for four years, the dogs were

FIVE UNDERGRADUATES
ON FOOD COMMITTEE





As a result of an impassioned plea
by the News for a reorganization of
the food committee, five undergradu-
ates have been appointed to meet
with the committee and voice officially
the students’ criticism of the food
served in the halls. The undergradu-
ate additions include the Hall Presi-
dents of. Pembroke, Ethel Huebner
from East and Dorothea Wilder from
West; the President of Denbigh, Jos-

ephine Ham; and_ representatives
from the other two halls, Winifred
Safford: from Merion, and Mary

Whalen from Rockefeller.

The whole committee met on Mon-
day for the first time; after this the
meetings will be held once a month.
The other members. beside Miss Park,
are the Wardens, the Hall Managers
and the college Steward, Mrs. Robins.

Bryn: Mawr Rolls the )rums

Amid the roll of drums, the par. ‘ng
of dogs and the shrieks of election-
mad’ Bryn*: Mawrters a_ torchlight
parade, complete with band, wound
its way from the Gymnasium to Good-
hart. Ardent students proudly bore
the standards of their - champions.
Here “A :Gallant Leader” smiled;
there “Farmer Alf” appeared in
effigy, sunflower and all. The air was
filled with boos and cheers: “You rose
with’ Roosevelt, now land with Lan-
don!” When the band had played
itself, everyone adjourned ‘to Good-
hart to await wth bated breath and
fluttering heart the election returns,

Idiot’s Delight??

An enditorial is not an end in itself. Nor is it an idle occupation
to’keep the editors out of trouble on Monday afternoons and in trouble
on Wednesday evenings. This column is an implement for the students
to use. W hat you, the undergraduates, think about or condemn should
be focussed here, and your board makes every effort to give expression
to your opinions. bes

But they cannot Work alone, and they cannot use your vitupera-
tions at tea or in the smoking room as evidence of your stand upon
any issue. When you find that_an important case has not been raised,
or when: you feel that a situation has not had its every side aired, then
by all means set those comments on paper and drop them into campus
mail.

» A college paper such as the News is the only means of immediate,
direct expression of campus opinion. It works along with both the stu-
dents and the administration. It can and it does gétimmediate results!

Two weeks ago this column, upon student demand, asked for stu-
dent representation in the menu planning committee. Less. than a week
later, one student was appointed from each hall to that grotp. In the
past year and a half the News has campaigned at student instigation
for fewer quizzes, for a good radio, for printed library-rules—to men-
tion only three of many cases in which general opinions expressed ‘in
these columns have speeded action.
tration heeds your wishes and that you paper gets results from the
authorities. Where it does not get results is from you—the students.

Last week, after years of undercover fulmination, the ‘question
about which you have complained the most was broached. Your views,
suggestions and corrections of the News’ statements were requested on
this matter which has seemed so vital to you. During the week not one
letter, reply or comment has been received at the News office. After
persistent enquiry, one reporter elicited this reply from a bitter com-
plainant: “Why doesn’t the News say something about the heating
system?” If this is all you have to say, the college administration is
perfectly justified in overlooking your demands as indifferent mutter-
ings. The wonder is that they heed student wishes at all.

This week we raise a proposal for clarifying the orals issue. Once
more we ask for candid comments and suggestions on all aspects of the
ease. We shall print them without signatures, but we must be assured
of their bonafide student origin by your name on the letter.
where your criticisms of the present system will find a quick airing
over the campus is not beneath your roommate’s desk nor deep in the
smoking room settee. These are your columns for your use. Without
your support this page has no meaning. If you do not use your tool,
no amount of polishing by its caretakers will accomplish any work.



Calling All Cars!

Objectors, partisans, even the indifferent, discuss the question of
orals each year. The fact that they are regarded with confusion and
consternation indicates that there must be a flaw somewhere in the
fortuitous wheel of the oral system. Since opinion differs so widely we
suggest that a forum be conducted by letters to the College News. In
order to obtain a fair view of the whole question, the forum should in-
elude the sentiments of undergraduates, graduates and especially of
the faculty, rarely voiced an opinion on this recurrent
-problem.

A forum would remove the confusion of innumerable theories and
outline some of sthe vague solutions which are prevalent on the campus.
This indistingthess and variation can be noted in the following opinions.
Several styfdents regard the orals as no problem at all and feel that ten
years faim now anyone who has once passed her orals has, with the
aid” ‘of a dictionary, an indelible knowledge of French and German.
Some violently stand for the total obliteration of orals. Others praise
the requirement of a reading knowledge of French and German, but
pe would replace orals with elementary courses and a regular examination

_ with possibilities of advanced standing on entrance. They feel that

WIT?’S END

The Personal Peregrinations of Al-
gernon Swinburne Stapleton-Smith,
or Lost in a London Fog.

Summary of Previous Chapters:

The Honorable Algernon Swinburne
Stapleton-Smith is the only. son of
Colonel, the Honorable, the Late Jef-
frey Leslie Rampant Smith, D. S. O.,
and Mrs. Stapleton-Smith. His father
was killed by a whining stray bullet
in a border raid in India, and his
mother takes in fancy sewing in order
to put him through Rugby and Sand-
hurst. Ata country folk-dancing festi-
val, Algae met a sweet little American
girl, also, like himself, a half-orphan,
who was once national chairman of
Girl Scout cookie week and now lives
with her mother at the home of her
great-aunt, Agatha Exchequer, Pig-
gitts, Baxton, Thixton,. Haggits,
Woods Hole, Surrey, England. Algae
drew Mary Anne (for this was her
name) as his partner in Sellingers
Round and instantly fell in love with
her. At the time this story resumes,
he is fifteen.

Chapter the Ninth.

It just so happened in the spring
of 1936 that Algae and his mother
were staying with a distant relative
in London (Belgrave Square) for -the
season, and that Mary Anne and her
mother had taken a small flat in Park
Lane for the month of May. Quite
by chance Algae happened to over-
hear, when he was nosing around the
British Museum one morning, that
Mary Anne had contracted the first
miserable cold of the season. He im-
mediately determined to call on her
and express his sympathies.

He found her sitting in the drawing
room with another guest, whom she
intYeduced to him as Virgil Elwelle.
Algae\noted that Virgil was an ex-
tremely ‘handsome, tall, well-built lad
with crisp,\curly hair and a sensitive
mouth. He ‘was entertaining Mary
Anne by playingxto her on the English
horn, for which e had exceptional
talent.

Mary Anne aaah to Algae
when he came in that previous to Vir-
gil’s arrival she had been occupying
her mind with Dickens’ Little. Dorrit
and her fingers with some rose-pink
wool and a pair of knitting needles,
the result being a very pretty little







jumper in diamond stitch with the’,

latest of ribbed necks, which he ob-
served she was wearing.

Algae tried to converse with Mary
Anne in an undertone, but Virgil in-
stantly began with a few soft chords
on his English horn, and Mary Anne
motioned Algae to be quiet, which
threw him into a towering paroxym
of jealousy.

“You'll excuse me if I toddle along,
won’t you?” he asked. Mary Anne
accompanied him to the door politely,
but Virgil observed she looked down-
cast when she returned.

He thought he heard her sigh to
herself the following: “Oh that this
too solid, solid flesh would melt!”
Virgil was puzzled.

TIT-WILLOW.

ABROAD AT. HOME







When the spirit moves you and
your pocketbook forces you to take
a few extra steps to save a few pen-
nies, go to the Food Fair on. Lan-
caster Pike at Haverford. Its full
title is “The Food Fair, Inc.,” and it
is open daily from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m.,
and on Saturdays from 8-a. m. to 10
p.m. Because of low rents and prac-
tically no overhead, prices are the
lowest possible. . Everything from
soup to nuts is obtainable under this
one roof. .

” you go in the door, a man hands
you a card which you clutch securely
throughout your sojourn. If you-in-
tend to buy a great deal, grab a mar-
ket basket on’ wheels, foufid. some-
where near the entrance, so that your
back won’t be broken by the time you
leave.

Wandering up and down the aisles,
you will find every conceivable sort
of produce that is good to eat; and
probably some not good to eat, but
there’s no accounting for tastes. Com-
petition among various producers
ought to remedy that difficulty.

Besides the normal, soups, jellies,
crackers, etc., they have all kinds of
spreads, one of which seems particu-
larly enticing. It’s called “Ham-n-
aise”—contains “mayonnaise, pickles,
pimentos, and the choicest boiled
ham.” Cocoanuts are also available
for tropical enthusiasts a®2 for 15
cents. For that insatiable sweet tooth
small jars of honey are only 12 cents,
and marshmallow whip (small size)
12 cents.

Having completed your .purchases,
you dump your articles on a wooden
stall where they are carefully checked,
noted, added- up and hastily jammed
into a brown paper bag. The list of
articles and their prices is returned
to you, whereupon you relay. it to a
cashier along with the necessary cash.
The list is again put in your hand,
this time christened “Paid” in large
purple letters. The defaced card is
then relayed by you to the man at the
door, and with that your troubles are
over.

Thus, with a few extra wranglings
with many young men (who have dis-
tinctly the wrong attitude toward
life), buying articles of food is made
comparatively cheap and easy at the
Food Fair.

News of the New York Theatres

Iron Men, the drama of which you
may have heard, closed Saturday
night. This proves once and for all
that production is not enough, or at
least that reality is not enough, be-~
cause this play had the most splen-
didly impressive, realistic and awe-
inspiring set ever devised within our
feeble memory. This was composed
of actual steel girders of a building
which was represented as being under
construction, with sound effects, duly
softened for purposes of convenience
in listening to lines. Furthermore, it
had a bona-fide steel worker cast as
the hero.- But the plot was simply
routine treatment of the primitive
jealousies of out-door men and their
women in-a manner inspiring to no
one.

Another closing Saturday night was
George Abbot’s version of Uncle
Tom’s Cabin, in which that wise pro-
ducer so abandoned all sense of pro-
portion as to attempt to rationalize
the treatment of plot and character
of that worthy play. .Sweet River
was the new name, and like Iron Men
it was an expensive production. We
forget whether it ran three or four
nights.

This is indeed a sad year for the
theatre. Hamlet, Tovarich, and Stage
Door seem to be the only three new
productions worth seeing. The two
latter opened in Philadelphia this
fall; they are both traditional light
comedies destined to be hits. Tovarich
is about two members of the Russian
nobility who work as servants in the
home of some rich Parisians. Stage
Door was recently reviewed in the
News.

Red, Hot, and Blue! which opened
Thursday is of the Anything Goes
school (but even less coherent), and
has the same authors, Howard Lind-
sey, Russel Crouse and Cole -Porter.-
Jimmie Durante is in it which can
mean but one of two things to any-
body; Ethel Merman, and Bob Hope
assist as does Polly Walters, Jast
prominent in She Loves Me,Not. Very
funny, but a little forced.

Forbidden Melody, the Romberg-
Harbach operetta which has been run-
ning in Philadelphia for two weeks
with absolutely no reprecussions so
far as we can see. Green Waters,
and Plumes in the Dust with Henry
Hull as Edgar Allan Poe are the
openings for next week.

Our verdict is still very sad.

Nucleus Plans Technique Lecture

Room F Taylor, November 3.—At a
second meeting of the Nucleus, a
group of undergraduates interested in
photography, plans were made for an
organization such as ’the Art Club,
with regular meetings, instruction,
and exhibition of work done. The
meeting was presided over by Doris
Turner, ’39.

Dues of one dollar per semester
were decided upon, these dues to
cover a group subscription to some
photographic magazine and other in-
cidental expenses. Since each stu-
dent’ will provide her own camera and
film, and pay for her own printing,
there will be no extra’ charges for
material.

Tuesday, November 10, at five
o’clock, in the Common Room is the
date, time and place tenatively set
for the next meeting. A talk on the
technique of developing and printing .
will be given ~ Mr. ‘Michels at that —
time.

Team Exhibits More Energy
And New Determination
In Initial Win





BAKEWELL SCORES GOAL |

(Contributed in NEWS Try-Outs)

October. 31.—Cheered by. the few
spectators who braved the cold to
watch the match, the Bryn Mawr
varsity hockey team outplayed Urysi-
nus to win by a score of 1-0. The
small score gives no idea of the tre-
mendous improvement of the team
since last ‘week’s game, when they
were so badly beaten by West Jer-
sey. ‘The stick-work was improved
and there was much more cooperation
between the forwards and backs. The
most important factor in the victory,
however, was the new determination
and energy shown by the team, which
enabled them to beat a fast and stub-
born opposition.

Much of the game was played in
mid-field, and the ball was carried up
and down without opportunity for a
shot at goal. The one score was made
on a penalty corner, in the middle of
the first half, when Bakewell sent in
a nice hard shot which the Ursinus
goal-guard was unable to stop. In
the second half there were several un-
successful tries for goal by both sides,
but each time the backs were able to
clear the ball out. It was in Ursinus
territory when the final whistle blew.









Resérve. Book Room

Students may not resérve
books for the weekend. If books
are not signed for any hour of
the weekend, they may be taken
at one o’clock Friday. :

Books positively must not be
taken out before one’ o’clock.
Students who take. books early
will have their privileges sus-
pended. -

All books must. be in the Re-
serve Book Room by 8430 a.om.







The outstanding players were Bake-
well and Wyld, on the left side of the
forward line. They played particu-
larly well together, using short di-
agonal ‘passes back and forth to get
through the Ursinus defense. Twice
Wyld, as her back overtook her, neatly
hooked the ball to one side and shot
it across into the circle. This initia-
tive and good stick-work, shown to a
greater or lesser degree by all the
members of the team, made this game
the most satisfactory so far this year.

WOOLMAN TO DESCRIBE
LOCAL YOUTH HOSTELS

Mr. Woolman,. the head of the
Horseshoe Trail Club, which is a
group of youth hostels which have
just opened around Philadelphia, is
coming to speak to the college at. an

undetermined date during the next few
weeks. Fashioned after. the European
and New England youth hostels, the
club intends to build a whole circle
of trails in this district for walkers
and riders, with hostels along them
where people ean spend the night.
The trails at present consist only of
a’ straight branch running from the
trails of the Appalachian Club, a simi-
lar undertaking.

The hostels, of which there are al-
ready five, offer the hiker or rider
bed, blankets, and cooking utensils for
a quarter a night, fuel for five cents
extra and food on sale. They are, ac-
cording to report, cleaner and gen-
erally nicer than the European ‘va-
riety.

Last week four Bryn Mawrters:
A. J. Clark, Ingeborg Jessen, Mary
Ritchie and Jane Braucher, undertook
the first lap of the trail. The walk
was a stiff 16 miles to Pughtown and
lasted from ten Saturday morning to
seven-thirty that night. They spent

the night at the hostel there, a farm
house, run by a farmer and his wife,
who were “just as nice as they could
be.” The next day the farmey’s wife
drove them fifteen miles; they then
walked the six remaining miles to Pa-
oli and took the train home. Besides
having a grand time, they figured that
including monéy spent for three
meals, they had not: spent over a dol-
lar apiece!

Anyone interested can get informa-
tion from Miss Petts, Miss Grant, or
A. J. Clark. On deciding to go, one
should let either Mr. Woolman know
a few days in advance or the hostel
at which she intends to stay. The
club also furnishes leaders, if anyone
wants them.

THE COLLEGE NEWS:





The Two “Hamlets”

(Especially contributed by Arthur
* Colby Sprague.)

The Gielgud-McClintic production
of Hamlet, which opened at the Em-
pire Theatre in New York three weeks
ago, was remarkable for combining
modernity of spirit with respect for
what may be supposed to have been
the author’s intention. There were
cuts, to be sure, plenty of them, but
the outlines of the play were retained
far more completely than was usual
in performances a few years ago.
Hofatio, for instance, was allowed to
receive Hamlet’s letter; Hamlet, to
talk pungently about Polonius and
worms. Scene followed scene swiftly.
There was but one intermission of ten
‘ minutes, as against two hours and
three-quarters of acting time. Yet at
the end the audience was still fresh
enough to cheer.

In detail, moreover, this production
showed that the play had been intelli-
gently studied. Hamlet, followivg the
now celebrated suresions of Ae: J.
Dover Wilson, was permit to over-
hear the proposal of Polonius to the
King:

“At such a time I’ll loose my daugh-

ter to him:

Be you and I behind an arras then.

Mark the encounter.”

The fencing was performed with
rapier and dagger. Claudius was
forced to drink from the poisoned cup.
The bewildering disappearance of the
Ghost—“ ’Tis here! ’Tis here! ’Tis
gone”—was plausibly externalized by
having two ghosts on the stage at the
same time—a pet notion of Mr. W. J.
Lawrence’s.

But though this Gielgud production
was scholarly, it was neither dessi-
cated nor ponderous. It was, as I
said, modern in spirit, this modernity
showing in three respects particu-
larly. It. was anti-sentimental, anti-
rhetorical and, if not altogether intol-
erant of “comic relief,” it was hostile
to the heavy clowning which one usu-
ally has to endure at thé hands of
Polonius, Osric and the Gravediggers.
Mr. Arthur Byron played Polonius as
a serious character, somewhat given to
verbal flourishes, of course, and not
as young as he once was, but a Polo-
nius whose death might, conceivably,
have been a source of grief to Laer-
tes and Ophelia rather than an oc-
casion for thankfulness. And, for
once, the Gravediggers’ scene was
macabre, as one knows it should be.
Gone was the First Gravedigger’s
demonstration of how Water might
have come to the ‘Man, with a coil of
rope and the handle of his pickaxe.
aa vorick got short shift. But to one
er person in the audience, at least, Ham-
let’s lines to the jester’s skull—‘‘Now
get you to my lady’s chamber, and tell
her, let her paint an inch thick, to
this favour she must come. Make her
laugh at that”—were the most effec-
tive of the whole performance. And
although Miss Lillian G'ish was un-
able to make the references to Ophel-
ia’s youth altogether creditable, she
did try gallantly to create a character
who is something more than a piece of
pretty pathos. And that she failed
was not altogether her fault. A re-
alistic Ophelia, and one who is very
mad indeed, is incompatible with the
whole atmosphere of the part.

The production which opened at the
Forrest Theatre last week had a few
of the virtues which I have been em-
phasizing in the Gielgud-McClintic ver-
sion and a few virtues of its own. Chief
of these was Mr. Wilfrid Walter’s
King. (If only his Queen had been
Judith Anderson, we should for once
have seen the royalty of Denmark come
to life.) The Leslie Howard produc-
tion was once more anti-rhetorical—
we were never spouted at—and if
sentimentality and low comedy were
permitted, they were at least not as
much indulged as they often are.

This Hamlet was clothed, osten-
sibly, in the Old Danish fashioh—a

novelty, mark, and the only possibil- |

ity left after one has seen Hamlet in
farthingales and doublet and _ hose,
‘and, yesterday’s novelty, Hamlet in
dinner jackets and short skirts. From
the walls of the castle we passed to
a Germanic feast, though one had
supposed from the lines that the
drinking and cannonading were to be
enjoyed later, off stage, the King

being at this time otherwise engaged.
Later the Ghost ‘lured Hamlet into
the Royal Crypt, presumably in order
to be able to make a quick get-away
when morning came. And later still
we saw Mr. Howard upon the poop of
a Viking ship (cf. Maxfield Parrish’s
illustrations for fairy books). This
ship must, by the way, have been very
securely moored, for the great. sail
was already spread in the wind.

On the other hand, economy was
sometimes practiced. Thus Claudius
returned. to the great hall of the
palace to say his prayers, and on the
principle of Mahomet and the Moun-
tain this same great hall became in
due course of time Gertrude’s closet.
“If,” says Old Fogeyism, “you are
going to localize through the use of
elaborate scenery, you can no longer
pretend that you are playing on an
Elizabethan stage and appeal to the
imagination of an Elizabethan audi-
ence.” And though we did have a
good deal of Shakespeare’s text, it
was at times shifted about like the
pieces of a jig-saw puzzle.

But the two Hamlets? Mr. How-
ard’s was, of course, personally at-
tractive—after the performance the
stage door was well-nigh stormed by
his admirers. His reading of the part
was on the whole intelligent. (J.
Dover Wilson. again gave him Ham-
let’s overhearing of Polonius and the
King, and this time the “new” punctu-
ation of “To be, or not to be.”) His
performance lacked, however, emo-
tional depth, his humor was never sar-
donic, and he stabbed Polonius without
hate. Mr. Gielgud’s Hamlet was far
richer emotionally, and intellectually
as well; almost a great Hamlet, but
marred by an over-elaboration of which
Mr. Howard was wholly guiltless. The
play-scene as Mr. Howard and Mr.
Walter did it was really memorable.
Mr. Gielgud’s Gravediggers’ scene has
already been singled out for praise.
Both producers had grace given them
to end, not with Horatio’s “flights of
angels,” but with the captains of For-
tinbras.

South Africa, having attended the
Princeton-Navy football game the pre-
vious Saturday, gave their interpre-

they were seeing for the first time.
Needless to say, the stage was a mass

and football huddles. :

The United States gave two scenes
illustrating the “Past and Present”
of life at Miss Appleby’s hockey camp
in the Poconos. Attitude toward. life
has undergone remarkable transfor-
mation in past years there, but the
U. S. still came in second in the tour-
nament.

Wales put: a nice finishing touch to
the evening by showing us two of their
annual ceremonies. The last one,
“Chairing the Bard of Wales,” ended
by having Miss Krumbhaar, president
of the International Field Hockey As-
sociation, crowned “Bard of Wales.”

Philosophy Club Hears
Original Value Theory



Betty Bock, °36, Reads Paper,
Followed by Discussion



Common Room, October 29.—Betty
Bock, ’36, graduate student in the
Department of Social Economy, read
her paper, Economic and Generic
Value—On Empirical Grounds, to
the members) of the Philosophy Club.
About twenty-five members and visi-
tors heard the second paper read to
the group this year. After Miss
Bock’s paper, controversial questions
were raised and followed by discus-
sion of the theory expounded.

~ Bock pointed out that two
views can be taken of economic val-
es, that of the isolationist and that
of the congregationalist. She repudi-
ated the first and tried to establish
a generalized version of the second
which could be correlated with a gen-
eral theory of values. The isolation-
ist theory of economic values, which
measures value*in terms of wants and
scarcity and disregards, both means
and ends, was denied by the speaker
because its isolated conclusions can-
not be either focussed or verified.
“Any theory which fails to take into
account the inter-relations of elastic-
ity and shift, appears to be not only
invalid for a general value theory,
but also for an isolated value which
can carefully explain economic phe-
nomena in particular.”
* The Marxian theory of value in
terms of labor, which states that value
“is the equal to the amount of socially
necessary labor time involved in its
production,” was opposed by the
speaker because it ignores the fact
that “value is a multiple function.”

She then extended Souter’s dynamic
theory of economic value in terms of
supply and demand to a generalized
theory in terms of alternative means
and ends. “It is the relation of re-
stricted means to alternative hierarch-
ical ends that determines value.” She
then indicated how this theory could
be worked out in diagrammatic curves
and pointed out that this enlarged
congregationalist theory of economic
values could be coordinated with eth-
ical, aesthetic and psychological val-
ues.



POLITICAL UPSET BOOSTS
DAILIES’ SUBSCRIPTION



Either college students are more
deeply interested in the affairs of the
world or they have more money this
year, for the subscriptions to the
New York papers have increased
markedly in numbers. The number of
Times subscribers is greater by a third
than it was last year. It would be
very encouraging to ascribe the
change to larger incomes, and it is
an actual fact that many are now
taking either the Times or the Trib-
une who could not afford it last year.
In many cases, however, it is un-
doubtedly the political or military
situations of this year, both na-
tional and international, which have
aroused more interest than was evi-
dent last fall.

The New York Times has almost
twice as many subscribers as_ the
Tribune; there are 122 daily Times
delivered on the campus as against
61 Tribunes. This is no true indica-
tion of political feeling, however, for
although many avowed Republicans
joyfully subscribe to the Tribune,
there are others who very reasonably
prefer to know the points of the oppo-
site side and choose the paper which
reflects the opinions of the contrary
party.

‘Seeing Eye’ Moves
Under Inspiration



Continued from Page One
ready to take over the charge of blind
people.

The samé plan of selection and edu-
cation was brought to this country
by Mrs. Eustis and Morris Frank,
who acted as a pioneer in this field.
He was the first blind American to
think of supplying other handicapped
Americans with a new lease on life.

‘Dogs are still being imported from
Europe, but their education is carried
on in the school at Morristown, New
Jersey. Trainers, who are selected
from Red Cross workers and Boy
Scout leaders, educate the intelligent
animals to guide, think and judge for
themselves.

They are taught to calculate heights
so their masters will not be injured
by low hanging awnings. They weave
through traffic with certainty and dar-
ing intrepidity. They actually realize
their masters are blind and, recog-
nizing this fact, a dog will approach
a blind man from the back so that
he will not stumble.

Selection of animals is based upon
the compatability of the person’s tem-
perament and height with that of the
dog. The trainers thus judge what
dog to give each student, who has
nothing to do with the choice.

After a month’s training together,
the student must pass 57 out of the
65 points before he can claim his com-
panion. The most difficult test is that
of going throygh traffic.

The master tells the dog where to
go by the simple commands of “right!
left! forward!” and the dog takes him
there. The blind person counts off
the blocks on his fingers and knows
what direction to take. No stray ani-
mal can entice this almost human
creature to play because a Seeing Eye
dog knows his duty and never leaves
it for the whole twenty-four hours of
the day.

As a result, those who» were for-
merly discouraged, rebellious and em-
bittered men and women today lead
normal independent lives. Now study-
ing at Radcliffe is’a girl who is per-
mitted’ to take her dog to all her
classes. The animal enjoys this ex-
perience, but persists in snoring
through the history class, which he
finds rather boring. Another student
is now working despite the same han-
dicap at the University of Virginia.

Furthermore, it is within the abil-
ity of any poor man or woman to pur-
chase such a companion. The price
is fixed according to the capacity of
the person to pay and the payment is
spread out over a long period of time.
Only about one-tenth of the dog’s cost
is paid by his owner. The rest of
the money must come from contribu-
tions, and for this reason a drive is
being started to enroll fifty thousand
members in The Seeing Eye Incor-
poration. The heads of the school are
also hoping to increase the turnout
of dogs to blind people.

As the situation now stands one
trainer educates twenty dogs a year
and only one hundred dogs a year are
being turned out, whereas ten thou-
sand could be used. It is therefore
earnestly desired to expand the school
and spread physical emancipation to
the blind as they attempt to rehabili-
tate themselves in a sightless world.

Mrs. Manning Alarmed —
By Election Prospects



Feels Government Must Retain its
Grasp on Democracy



Music Room, Oct.: 29.—Following
an old Bryn Mawr. tradition, that
members of the faculty voice their.

political opinions. before an election, *

Mrs. Manning said that she viewed
the possibility of either a Republican
or Democratic victory with equal
alarm. hile history goes to show
that civilization is always on the move
and that men who cannot adapt them-
selves to new conditions fade into
the background, it is important for
the government of. this country to
steer .a course which will avoid Euro-
pean perils and retain the old grasp
on democratic principles. As the new
President will appoint several new
judges, the constitutional issue, for
which Roosevelt has not as yet sug-
gested any remedy, will be decided
in the new administration. If Roose-
velt wins the New Deal will continue;
if Landon wins interference with pri-
vate business will be stopped.

In describing her personal reaction

to the political situation, Mrs. Man- . .

ning spoke of the different dangers
that will confront us in either out-
come. of the election. Roosevelt has
had good luck so far, but if he
is re-elected; his new experiments
may end more disastrously. He em-
barks on measures needing new gov-
ernmental technique without taking
notice of this. By giving such ex-
tensive. federal support he will in-
crease the electorate dependent on the
government and may overstrain the

national credit.

If Landon comes into office the vic-
tory of business may mean a cleavage
with labor. He seems to lack a defi-
nite national policy and unless he
takes steps to conserve the national
resources, there may be another
breakdown.



Poster Lures Haverford to Gym

Decorated with a fine crop of pump-
kins, the gym was most festive last
Friday night for the first, square
dance of the year. The attendance,
both active and passive (swinging
legs from the gallery), was large,
Haverford arriving in hordes due, we
have been informed, to a particularly
appealing poster shown at said col-
lege.

The India print dress has given
away to the printed Tyrolian cos-
tumes as the favorite of the square
dancers among the girls. We were
sorry to note not one rugged indi-
vidualist among the other sex and
pondered unhappily on the regimenta-
tion in the world today, remembering
sadly the happy days of yester-year
when several complete Alpine climb-
ers jigged around the Gym.

THE ENROLLMENT IS 129

Miss Park’s House, October 28.—
Who composes the Graduate School,

what its characteristics are and.what
it may expect its members to accom-



~plish were some of the facts and ‘pre-

dictions told by Dean Schentk to the
Graduate Students invited by Miss
Park to meet the Graduate Committee.
This year five Bryn Mawr Graduate
Students are taking work at the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania in the De-
partments of History of Art, Mathe-
matics and the Law School. - Five stu-
dents at the University of Pennsyl-
vania are enrolled in courses in the
Bryn Mawr Departments of History
of Art, Classical Archaeology, His-
tory and Geology. A student at Hav-
erford College is enrolled in the De-
partment of Biology at Bryn Mawr.
The Graduate School is the larg-
est in the history of the college. It
numbers 129, including eight who
are studying abroad. Registration in
the school last year was 105; in 1927
it was 113, the number nearest to the
present enrollment. Of the 121 study-
ing* it Bryn Mawr this year, 67 are
in residence in either Radnor Hall or
Low Buildings. Many of the latter
are teaching. Of the 121, 71 are giv-

| China,



ing full time to graduate work.
Geographically speaking, 107 Gradu-

ate Students come from 25 ders

states and 14 from nine foreign coun

tries. Pennsylvania sends 36; New
York and the other Middle Atlantic
States, 35; 17 come from the Middle
West; ten from New England; six
from the West and three from the
South. Canada has sent five, Scot-
land two and the following one each:
England, France, Germany,
Haiti, Italy and Switzerland.

One hundred five students hold their
first degrees from 42 different colleges
and universities in the U. S. A. Bryn
Mawr College has granted 15 degrees;
Smith, nine; Bernard, Mount Holy-
oke and Vassar each seven; Swarth-
more, five, and Brooklyn, Hunter, New
Jersey College for Women, Oberlin,
Radcliffe, Wellesley and Wheaton each
three. if

In addition to their graduate work
36 students have various positions.
Seventeen are on the staff of Bryn
Mawr College, ten are teaching in

neighboring private schools, eight inj

nearby colleges. The National Youth
Administration is providing work for
17 other graduate students. Of the
121 studying at Bryn Mawr, 82 have
been engaged in some occupation prior
to entering Bryn Mawr. Teaching in
either schools, colleges or both has
occupied 51. Eight have been doing
social work; six, secretarial work;
six, paid scienttfic research work.
Four have been engaged in business;
four have been wardens; on¢ has been
doing newspaper work; one is a repre-
sentative of the International Insti-



tute for Girls in’Spain. One is Sec- ,
retary of the Rural Education De-

partment in Haiti; and another is

.Executive Secretary of the Philadel-

phia Y. W. C. A.

Six different organizations or. col-
leges have granted to students fellow-
ships or scholarships to be used at
Bryn Mawr,-and four other students,

winning special awards, have chosen
toguse them at Bryn Mawr. Seven
of the 54 non-resident students are
doing full-time graduate work; 12
are taking two seminaries and 35 are
taking either one seminary or super-
vised units of work. The academic
activities of the present members of
the Graduate School include 35 can-
dates for the M.A. degree and 15
candidates for the Ph.D.

It is encouraging to know that 16
of the 18 Masters of Arts who re-
ceived their degrees in June, 1936,,are
either employed or are continuing
their graduate work. Only two of the
28 Doctors of Philosophy who received
their degrees from Bryn Mawr in the
last three years are not, so far as is
known, employed. Foureof this group
are on the staff of Bryn Mawr Col-
lege: Miss Agnes K. Lake, Ph.D. ’34,
is Instructor in* Latin; Miss Berthe
Marie Marti, Ph.D ’84, is Assistant
Professor of Latin and French; Mrs.
Edith Cumings Wright, Ph.D ’34, is

PE >LESS SECOND TEAM
DEFEATS. MERION, 3-0





November 1.—In .a slows placid
hockey game played on a sultry af-
ternoon, Bryn Mawr Second Team de-
feated Merion Reserves, 3-0. Nothing
out of the ordinary happened, both
teams lacked pep, and even though
Merién played minus a goalie, Bryn
Mawr failed to show any enthusiasm.

All three goals were made in the
first half. The second half was
wasted away in hitting back and
forth, up and down the figld, which
produced no net results. AVhere ‘were
no spectacular indivigualists, but
Bryn Mawr cooperated rather well
on the defense as well’as the offense.

Unique Exhibit in Boyer Galleries

From November 2 to 17 a unique
art exhibition will be on view in the
Boyer Galleries in the ‘Broad Street
Staton Building, Philadelphia. The
nucleus of the exhibit is a very simple
canvas by Matisse: Notre Dame in
the Late Afternoon, painted in 1902.

The aim of this exhibition, which
was staged and is sponsored by the
Albright Art Gallery in Buffalo, is to
acquaint the spectator with the rich
and varied elements that influenced
Matisse in his development of one of
the most vital creative forces in
-modeyn painting. To this end, Ma-
tissé’é oil occupies the central position
on the wall, and about it are hung
yeproductions of various art works
that aid in the analysis of this paint-
ing.

Miss Kraus Compares
Campus Atmosphere



Finds Economics at Bryn Mawr
Trains for Active Posts



Comparing the various campuses
which she has known, Miss Hertha
Kraus, Associate Professor of Social
. Economy; stated that American col-
leges’are more skilled than European
universities in creating a happy and
sheltered atmosphere for their stu-
dents. Consequently we are not, Miss
Kraus finds, as proficient in discussing
those problems of living with which
students abroad are intimately ac-
quainted. While in this country polit-
ical questions are spasmodically raked
over for fun, in Europe they are a
constant and serious preoccupation.

Miss Kraus, Ph. D., University of
Frankfort, ’19, speaks from an ac-
quaintance with many campuses. Be-
sides visiting many colleges on lecture
tours, she has held the following aca-
demic positions: research assistant.on
social projects at the University of



Frankfort, research worker at the
Russel Sage Foundation and Profes-

sor of Social Work at Carnegie Insti-
tute of Technology. In addition she
has done extensive work for the Ger-
man, and since 1933, for the American
Governments. Miss Kraus’ especial
interest lies in the economic phases of
sociology.

Surveying the American and Eu-
ropean systems of social service, Dr.
Kraus declared that while Europe has
always assumed this to be a tech-
nical function of government, we had
neglected the issue until the depres-
sion forced it into the foreground.
Now adequate law enforcement and
trained Government personnel are our
primary needs.

Consequently it is fortunate that
Bryn Mawr is exceptionally fine in
training students for active posts. An
adventure in education, the Summer
School, “clarifies the minds” of all
classes and connects them, which is
quite in keeping with “the American
concept of giving more people an
equal chance.” The honors. system
offers “a sound approach” to subjects

Current Events



(Gleaned From Mr. Fenwick)

The United States is unique in its
method of electing its president. The
ideal of the Fathers of the Consti-
tution ‘was that, the president be
chosen by the best minds of the coun-
try. The ‘people choose the so-called
“‘best-minds” who theoretically choose
the “best man for president.” ‘Today
the “best minds,” or “electors,” are
a mere formality whose names do not
even appear on the ballots.
pledged to vote for their party candi-

dates when the college of electors
meets a month hence.

Another unusual feature of the
American electoral system is that the
president is actually elected not by
the people of the entire country, but
by. the people of the various states.
A nation-wide popular majority does
not constitute an election and a ma-
jority of a single vote for one candi-
date within a state will swing the
electoral vote over to him. In this
way a man could carry the entire elec-
toral college with a nation-wide ma-
jority of 48. votes.

We, who on. this momentous eve of
November 4, 1936, feel ourselves either
and ferrets thinking out of mental
“cubby-holes.”

This is the second of two interviews
with two new members of the Faculty.
Those with Mr, Sprague and Mr. Pat-
terson follow next week.

We all agree on this... cigarette
paper is important. For Chesterfield
we use the best paper that we can
buy. It is called Champagne Ciga-
rette Paper. It is made from the soft,
silky fibre of the flax plant. It is

washed over and over in clear, spark-

ling water.

A lot of the pleasure you get in
smoking Chesterfields is due to our
using the right kind of cigarette pa-
per. Chesterfield paper is pure, and
it burns without taste or odor.

tottering upon the edge of the abyss
of ruin or scaling the heights toward

a new and better era should look back
upon other epic-making elections in
our country’s history. The first oc-
curred in 1800 when Jefferson and
Burr received the same number of
electoral votes, with no designation
as to who was to hold which office.
Consequently the matter was referred
to the House of Representatives, a
violently Federalist body, to be de-
cided, as the Constitution decrees.
Their plan to make Burr president
failed: only when Hamilton, the con-
servative leader, by his argumentative
powers won the rebellious House over
to Jefferson. An-immediate result of
this controversy was the Twelfth
Amendment, ratified in 1802, which
provides that the electors shall clearly
designate what man they intend for
each office.

By 1824 the Federalist party had
died and the Democrats, founded by
Jefferson, were the up-and-coming
people. Four men were running for

Quincy Adams, Henry Clay and Craw-
ford. There was no majority and
Clay. threw his votes to Adams, thus
making him president.

In 1860 the Democratic party, now
the conservative one, was split three
ways against a new Republican party.
The division among the Democrats
gave the victory to Lincoln, although
he had actually only a plurality of
the popular vote.
