In Interview



On Friday night Paul Robeson

the Chinese Scholarships Commit-
tee. is

sweet. He can use it incredibly
well, and sometimes does. Although
the first section of his program
was not particularly well chosen,
Robeson put it over because he has
a good voice and because he has
great personal charm. He sang
two spirituals and Encantadora
Maria, a Spanish love song, and
concluded this part of the program
with the effective singing and _ act-
ing of Oh, No, John, an English
folk song.

Between his songs the Sim-
fonietta String Quartet, which had
opened the concert with four Eng-
lish airs, played the Tchaikowsky |
Quartet in D. The contrast of|
Robeson’sWhearty tale-telling songs |
with the Quartet’s gentle rendi-|
tions was: not particularly fortu-
nate.

Mr. Robeson’s selection in the
second part of the program was!
better. The Russian folk songs '
and the powerful, sincere Prayer
were the high point of the concert.
Responding to the audience’s de-
mand for encores, Mr. Robeson
sang several favorite spirituals, |
and the Ballad for Amercians.

When the concert was over, Mr.
Robeson talked with us about music |
—American music. He commented
on the importance. of the spon-
taneous songs which have sprung
up throughout the country, and the
value of true jazz as American
folk music. ‘When a song really
says something,” Mr. Robeson ex-
plained,—“‘not just ‘How .blue is
the sky’,” it’s really a contribu-
tion. His greatest ambition, he
said, is “to be able to sing like
Leadbelly.”

Relief, Quiz Problems|
Discussed by Council



New Student Research Group
And Dramatic Integration
Also Considered



At a ‘meeting: on Wednesday,
April 16th, the College Council dis-
cussed problems relating to war
relief on campus, the work of the}
Curriculum Committee, and the
place of dramatic production in col-



lege activities.

War relief on campus is divided, |
actual relief being supervised by |
the League, while an active de-|
fense group is in the process of |
organization. The character of
this proposed student organization |
has not yet been determined. The
group will be independent of the
faculty Committee but plans to
avoid duplication of activity.
Plans for organization will prob-
ably be presented to the whole col-
lege at a mass meeting later in
the year.

College Competes With

For Highest Mailing Average Per Month

Water Company ~



‘By Barbara Hull, ’44

Although none of its employees
knew exactly when the Bryn Mawr
post office was established, they felt
sure it was in existence when the
village, formerly called Humph-
reysville, was. christened Bryn
Mawr. This was about the time of
the Civil War. The present build-
ing celebrated its sixth anniversary
last January.

The amount of mail received by
the college, 15 per cent of the 200,-

tering the post office each month,
is exceeded only by that delivered
to the Philadelphia Suburban
Water Company. The business

Rhoads stands first among the
residence halls, receiving about one
third more than any of the others.
30,000 to 35,000 insured i
are handled through the post’ office
each year, and the college has the
distinction of receiving as many

as are distributed in the whole of

the village itself.
Phe schools and colleges are fav-

_ored. by better service, having three

the post office, five deliver mail to
the campus. The most faithful of
these is Patrick Ryan, who has
been bringing letters to Bryn Mawr
students for 25 years. He likes his
job and although they’ve tried to
put him “inside,” he won’t change
his position.

“Bveryone works with me,” he
said of the students. “I’ve seen
’em come and go, and come back
again married.”

“College girls don’t get married,”
said one of the clerks with a twin-
kle in his eye.

“T see ’em come back with kids,”
continued Mr. Ryan, undaunted.
“One of the girls took my picture
once under Pembroke arch. It
was put in the college paper,” he
went on proudly. ‘Two of my sis-
ters went to school there. They
might. be mad if I told you what
years they were. You know, they
might be touchy about their ages.

_Bryn Mawr Budget
Delicately Dulanced

This week the Bryn Mawr Col-
lege budget for 1941-’42 is being
perfected in the office of Mr. Sandy
Hurst. The budget is drafted at
the March meeting of the Board
of Directors.and_is-voted-on in-May.
The deeper intricacies of. budget
making and some. financial facts
will be presented in next week’s
News, but in view of certain rum-
ors concerning the financial status
of the college, the following in-
formation from Miss Park is of-
fered.

The financial turnover at Bryn
Mawr during the college year is
somewhere around one million dol-
lars. The surplus at the end of the
year approximates fifteen hundred
dollars. As Miss Park explained,
this is an extremely narrow mar-
gin, but to date the margin has
always existed. The two main

sources of the college income are

Alternate Courses
Offered Next Year

Friday Afternoon Schedule
Instead of Saturday Classes
Finally Decided

Goodhart Auditorium, Monday,
April 21.—Dean Manning, at an
open college meeting, announced
new courses to be offered next
year and explained the changes
which the new schedule of Friday
afternoon classes will bring. Most
of these classes will be in first
year courses, with second year
courses scheduled for other after-
noons during the week.

The largest innovation in the
curriculum is the presentation of
two alternatives to the Sophomore
English survey course: English
Literature of the Renaissance, to
be given by Miss Koller; and Mr.
Chew’s Literary History of the
Bible, which has been expanded to
a full unit course. Miss Stapleton
plans to give another Sophomore
course on English thought in prose
and criticism the following year.
The regular survey course will be
given by Mr. Herben, supplemented
by. reading conferences with other
department members.

Mr. Cameron, Mr. Carpenter and
Mr. Lattimore will give a unit
course on Greek literature in Eng-
lish translation. Mr. Sprague will
teach a new half-unit course on
the English Drama from _ the

Restoration to Robertson, which

Fenwick Declares

Continental Solidarity Not

Goodhart Auditorium, Wednes-
day, April 17.— Mr. Charles G.
Fenwick, professor of politics at
Bryn Mawr College and at present
the United States member of the
Inter-American Neutrality Com-
mittee, who has just returned from
Rio de Janiero, spoke to the college
on Pan-American Relations. He
declared that although since 1933

Labor’s Strike Gains
Analyzed by Fairchild

Deanery,—Tuesday, April _22.—
Recent strikes must be considered
in relation to labor developments
of the last twelve years, said Miss
Fairchild: in her discussion of
strikes and national defense pre-
sented by the Faculty Defense
Group. Those years were ex-
tremely difficult ones for labor, and
the 1929 level of wages and em-
ployment was approximated for the
first time in 1940.

Miss Fairchild summarized five
recent major strikes. At Allis
Chalmers, the workers, already or-
ganized. under the C. I. O., de-
manded a closed shop, a wage in-
crease, and improved seniority
rights. -Through certification to
the Defense Board, a_ settlement
was arranged providing for an im-
partial referee elected “by both
sides, and a blanket wage increase
to be. decided during arbitration,

A different situation occurred at
the Ford plant. There workers de-





/-manded wages equal to those paid

by General Motors. This meant
an additional dollar a day. Other
demands were for elimination of
the speed-up, better personnel
practices, and abolition of the
Ford Servicé Department, a little-
publicized organization of guards
who patrol the plants in civilian

clothing and report to the com-

Hickory Dickory

Dock, the Man Ran Up the

Clock, or Time and Tide Wait for No Mouse



By Alice Crowder, °42

Sunday, at 8.45 P. M., the bell
rang. The undergraduate mind
immediately responded. The. con-
tents of the Library Reading Room
emptied itself into the Reserve
Room, signed out books for over-
night and disappeared. The be-
wildered reserve room assistant
looked at the clock. It was, indeed,
8.45, which meant that it was really
8.55. She looked at the stacks of
books: on the table, sighed with
resignation and laboriously | put
them away. Ten minutes later the
reserve room filled again. People
were giggling hysterically, the
books were assorted by the assist-
ant. It interrupted her melancholy
day dream of them all drinking
down their ten o’clock milk which



wasn’t there. “Of course, they all
wouldn’t subscribe to milk,’ she
hastily explained later, “but I was
just imagining those who did.”
The people, wildly, ejaculating to-
ward the clock signed out the same
books and took them away. The
assistant had a sudden thought.
She climbed up on a chair and look-
ed out the window. The moon
shone serenly down on the white
cherry trees. There was no fire.

Elsewhere the reaction wag_more
complicated. ‘For whom does the
bell toll?” ‘roared an unidentified
voice from Pembroke Arch As the
echo died away, knots of people
gathered excitedly suggesting
births, deaths, and hurricanes. But
it was only Richard’s watch—it
was on the blink.

Fable of the Theatre Workshop

Once there. was a theatre workshop which had two stages.
One stage belonged to the Baldwin School; the other to Bryn Mawr
College. One stage was well-equipped—not elaborately, but ade-
quately. It was full of flats and old furniture, and cardboard door-
ways, and it was usually alive with actors and girls in blue jeans
with paint brushes and carbon copy scripts. The Baldwin School
gave plays on their stage.

The other stage was not equipped. It had a modern switch
board, but no one ever used it. There were no foot lights and
there were no spotlights. It had floor trap-doors for scenery
maneuvers, but there were no curtains and there was no box set.

“And what shall we do about it?” said the Little Red Hen when
the fable was told, and the moral was so obvious that she didn’t
~ even have to point it out.

_ ‘ Get the equipment. Have a benefit and raise the money. Yes,
have a dog show. But give plays. \Good informal, frequent plays.
Let lots of people act in them even if they have to carry scripts
with them: across the stage and even if they can’t enter the theatre
workshop ona white horse,

“And the moral of that is—,” said the Little Red Hen.

NEW BLOOD AND THE (..C: C.

Not all the brave young men have been visualizing or admiring
themselves, in khaki, this last winter. An enterprising group of
Harvard and Dartmouth graduates and students in January secured
a grant from the Department of Agriculture and in Tunbridge,
‘Vermont, established an experimental C. C. C. Camp, designed to

_ aid the -farmers.of the district and-to train boys of all classes for
leadership in. the ‘C’s’,

Two of the boys were already C. C. C. enrollees, Others gave
up scholarships at Harvard and Dartmouth to join the movement.
Dorothy Thompson and Dorothy Canfield Fisher, Vermonters both,
gave their support; Mrs. Roosevelt gave the project her interest
and approval; and Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy, Dartmouth profes-
sor of Social Philosophy, who was the originator of the Weimar
Republic’s Work Camp plan, but left Germany in 1933, offered a
guiding hand whenever needed. ~

The Tunbridge farm area was suffering from lack of labor,
farm land sold for two dollars an acre. A C. C. C. Camp located
there had closed a year before, however—its great accomplishment
the completion of an eight-mile circular road in the wilderness.
Farmers felt that chances for rehabilitation were hopeless, until the
group of boys who had been working as farm hands in the district
all summer, in September organized an open meeting in Tunbridge.
The farmers, selectmen, and grange leaders were enthusiastic. A
petition was sent to President Roosevelt, and the Department of
Agriculture established the Camp as an experimental project under
their authority.

Camp. William -James, named for Harvard’s philosopher who
recognized modern civilization’s need of manual labor as “a
moral equivalent for war,” was opened on January first, 1941, _A
camp manager was elected, the old C. C. C. buildings were renio="
vated and new ones built, and plans for the work with the farming
community were made, to begin in the spring. City boys from
other C. C. C. Camps and Ohio backwoods boys joined the college
men, On February twenty-first; however, a civilian attache of the
Army was put in command of the Camp, and James J. McEntee,

Director of the C. C. C., announced that the experiment was

last week in Philadelphia, looked it —











it would be unpleasant to inquire. What the Vermonters did about
it is more important. Dorothy Thompson, who was planning to
speak, on Democracy in general, at Dartmouth, spoke instead on
Camp William James in particular, She drew an audience of
15,000 and continued the good work at a meeting of the C,.C. €,
boys and their adherents, which was held in a beer parlor and lasted
a long time. The council of the nine Vermont townships met in-
dignantly, refused to allow the establishment of a regular C. .C. C.
Camp in their locality and demanded honorable discharges for
the William James boys from the Department of Agriculture.
Their chairman declared that McEntee had taken the Camp from
the Department because he feared that the advances it would make,
in community cooperation and educational progress, would show up
his faulty administration of. the C’s,

The next day, the camp was in tumult, Dorothy Thompson
appeared again and now urged the boys not to secede but to work
for progress from within the C. C. C. itself, Red Winces, Polish-
descended city boy and sparkplug, deserted in a blaze of anger. But
an Ohio boy went to Lawrence Bowen, head of the Tunbridge
grange, and after a little persuasion (“I gave ’im hell 1”) secured
the loan of a farm, a stove, and tools from the farmers. The boys
went off to Sharon that afternoon in a truck, leaving only nine
renegades behind them.

; Since then the new Camp William James has prospered.
Funds have been raised in New England and New York. News-
papers along the coast have featured the story and support is being
enlisted. In spite of the drafting of the camp manager and other
members, the camp last week bought its own farm, has welcomed
some of its impetuous ex-members back to the fold, and is continu-
ing its work with the wholehearted support of the Vermont farm-
ing community.

Opinion

Coffee Consuming Graduates
Gently Seek Lebensraum

0 In Deanery



TO THE EDITOR OF THE COLLEGE’
NEWS:
A Plea to the Senior Class:

The graduate students are like
the Greeks: small but valiant. Un-
able.to defend our position by press
of numbers, we must appeal to your
sporting instincts, your principles
of justice, and your respect for the
rights of small entities to life, lib-
erty, and the pursuit of coffee,



The case in hand: coffee at the
Deanery is a time-honored custom.
The hierarchy of territorial occu-
pation is of equally long standing.
Seniority and precedent have estab-
lished positions which we geek to
perpetuate. The faculty have long
demonstrated their preference for
the east window seat in the center
drawing room. The graduate stu-
dents have customarily drifted into
the west window seat in the same
room. Until recently, the senior
class, as the largest group of coffee
addicts, has taken ‘over the first
drawing room.

The graduate students plead for
the inviolability of their original
territory.

Bryn Mawr Budget |

student fees and _ investments.
During recent years the income
from investments has been drop-
ping, and the management of~col-
lege finances is an increasingly
delicate job.

“But women are good at saving
money in small ways,” said Miss
Park, and she suggested that there
has been no deficit at Bryn Mawr
just because it is run by women.
She did admit that the carelessness
of students about certain things
was a trial to her. “It makes me
furious to have to spend money on
the grass or repairs when it should
be spent for better wages for the
faculty, improved musical equip-
ment, or for similar purposes.”
She feels certain that if the stu-
dents were asked how they should
like to see the college income spent
they would name the latter alterna-
tives; and not grass seed.

feeling, while throughout the re-
publics the feeling that:it was “the
destiny of the continent” to resist
the power of Uncle Sam, or to come
under his domination, grew
stronger.

Breech Not Healed

South Americans admired Elihu
Root, but his stress upon the equal-
ity of states did not heal the
breach. President Wilson almost
achieved reconciliation with his in-
vitation to Argentina, Brazil and
Chile to consult on the question of
the Mexican revolution; but the
A. B. C. Conference was not suc-
cessful. Wilson’s “work for the
League of Nations is greatly hon-
ored in Latin America, whose
countries found it-easy to join-with
European nations. Wnfortunately
Hughes, as Secretary of State in
19238, again declared that the
United States intended to interpret
and apply the Monroe Doctrine as
it saw fit, at a time when the
League had just made exception of
the Monroe Doctrine from the ob-
ligations of the Covenant.

Good Neighbor Policy

In 1933 the United States inau-
gurated the Good Neighbor Policy
and immediately began to give evi-
dence of the,sincerity of its inten-
tions. Our right to intervene in
Cuba and Panama was given up;
and_at. Buenos Aires, in 1936, the
continentalization of the Monroe
Doctrine was achieved, which Mr.
Fenwick considers the greatest ad-
vance ever made in our Latin
American policy. The Conference
agreed that, in the event of a
threat to the peace of America, the
American republics should meet to
consider what steps shouldbe
taken.

Second World War

This treaty, a document of
equality and mutual protection, has
changed the whole attitude of
South America to the United
States. The second World War has
brought an opportunity to test Pan-
American solidarity. At Panama
in September, 1939, the first meet-
ing of the Foreign Ministers of the
21 republics put forth a General
Declaration of Neutrality and
created the Inter-American Neu-
trality Committee, to handle prob-
lems as they came up, in accord-
ance with the principals of neu-
trality. The internment of Ger-
man sailors, for instance, was
considered with particular refer-
ence to Uruguay, but was phrased
so that the recommendations would

Blake Asks Volunteers
For Chureh’s Battle

Goodhart, Music Room, April 20.
—‘“The church is today engaged in
a great battle,’ began the Rever-
end Eugene C. Blake, “To miss



your share .jn this battle is misfor-
tune; to refuse it is disaster.” Mr.

Blake, who is minister of the First
Presbyterian Church in Pasadena,
California, preached on the Church
Militant in chapel on Sunday eve-
ning at 7.30.

The church has not only always
been the champion of truth, Mr.
Blake pointed out, but it has in-
spired and fostered the growth of
education and science and their
search for truth. Christianity has
‘been the basis for the ideal of a
more. just social order.

The Church is the only institu-
tion which is committed to,the idea
of peace. It believes that the only
worthwhile achievement is by love
and _ it alone among all social insti-
tutions has a conscience which is
embarrassed by a world of men at
war with each other. The Church,
concluded Mr. Blake, weak, inef-
fectual, and stumbling as it is, is
the armory which equips ‘men to
fight for peace and for a new world
order.



have a general application.
Watchful Waiting Policy
Latin: America cannot be isolated
from the rest of the world.
strongest ties, political, economic
and social, are with Europe, which
is her biggest customer. The
United States can never become a
market for all South America’s
products. The Latin American re-
publics had joined the League of
Nations and would work with it
again, if it could be made effective.
Their people have never refused
to distinguish between right and

wrong, between aggressors and
their victims. But until the
United States acts, the South

American countries must follow
their policy of watchful waiting.
Since they cannot maintain their
economic life without European
trade, the United States cannot
meet their needs by a policy of only
hemispheric solidarity.

Mr. Fenwick closed by emphasiz-
ing that it was fantastic to believe,
as do many people, that we can
build a wall around this hemisphere
and live in it in peace while the
rest of the world is in anarchy.
Continental solidarity, important
as it is within limitations, is not a
substitute for law and order in
the world at large.

Fenwick Fascinated
By Leisurely Tempo
Of South Americans



Bryn Mawr’s Doctor Fenwick
has returned, if only for a fleeting
visit. He plans to remain absent
from South America until the mid-
dle of May, and will be in Bryn
Mawr for about three weeks. longer.
This week, however, he will be in
Washington where he will preside
at the sixth conference of teachers
of International Law. This gath-
ering, which is attended by pro-
fessors from all parts of the
country, was organized in co-opera-
tion with the Carnegie Endowment
for International Peace. Doctor
Fenwick was elected director three
years ago.

Rio is a fascinating place, Doc-
tor Fenwick says. When it gets
hot, the whole life of the city
moves up into the mountains, leav-
ing the unwary tourists to swelter
below.. Doctor Fenwick’s immense
office is overrun, he says, by hosts
of charming girl ‘employees, all
eager to talk to him, so that they
can learn English and_ understand
the movies. But Portuguese is the
prince of Romance languages, It
has an intriguing Latin basis and
a pronunciation which is: low and
melodious. » Best of all, Doctor
Fenwick declares, in South Amer-
ica, no one is ever in a hur'y.

Aglion Finds German
And Italian Position
Tn N. Africa Dubious

Founders Hall; Haverford Col-

strong,” said M. Raoul Aglion,
former Attaché to the French Le-
gation at Cairo, speaking on The
Free French Forces in.the Desert
War, “but they are not trained for
desert warfare.” The Italians, he
added, do not like to “live danger-

The German troops in Africa



{have the disadvantage of being un-

desert warfare and to the taxing
African climate. British and
French troops never stay in the

the prisoners disappeared after the
fall of Sidi Barani and Bardia.
“We were Fascist to keep our jobs
‘ and lives,” they said, “but at heart
we are Socialists.” An Italian fort
surrendered after a 15 minutes’
battle with a small British unit.
“We have been fighting like lions,”
the general said, “but we have no
more ammunition.” When ‘the
British took over, they found
enough supplies to last a month’s
siege. ,

The Free French and British
troops consist of Dutch from South
Africa, Hindus from India, Mal-
tese, Czechs and Poles. They re-
fuse to be fused into one army and
fight in sections according to na-
tionalities. ‘And it is in this man-
ner that they fight best,” M.« Ag-
lion said, “united in the cause of
liberty and fighting for their own
ideas of it.”

Supplies arrived with difficulty
during the early part of the war. To
procure them, allied troops would
attack an Italian fort. The Italians
would retreat; the British would
take all the ammunition and food
and leave. The Italians would
then return and their navy would
bring them more supplies. The
British and French would attack
again,

In the villages are posted mot-
toes of encouragement for Italian
soldiers, such as; “he who stands
still falls” or “live dangerously.”
Although most of the soldiers are

not apparently inspired by these,

there are some who are Fascist to
the core. A captured Italian offi-
cer said to a Frenchman who was
arguing: with him on_totalitarian-
ism: “It is useless to discuss. I be-

lieve in Fascism as you believe in
God.”

Question of Convoys
Topic for Discussion



A forum on the question of con-
voys will be presented on Wednes-
day evening, April 30, in the Com-
mon Room from seven to eight.
Three groups which are doing re-
search on different aspects of the
subject will present their material

through speakers.

The forum has been organized by
Helen Resor. The group working
on the statistics of the practical aid
of a convoy is headed by Barbara
Bradley. Two other groups, in-
vestigating international law and
public opinion on the subject, are
under Agnes Martin and Catherine
Clement.

It is hoped that the forum, by
presenting facts to the campus and
creating am awareness of an im-
mediate issue, will be a sample of
what we could accomplish next
year. The plan of a more organ-
ized group and a series of forums
has been discussed at hall meet-

ings, and the success of this first,and serenade his

discussion would make further de-
velopment. possible.

Conventional Story, Startling Presentation.
Of Sleeping Beauty Guarantees Relaxation



The gym, rejuvenated with
shields and other decorations, will
provide an appropriately mediaeval
background for the ballet of
Sleeping Beauty to be given by
Miss Petts’ dancing classes on
Thursday and Friday, May 15 and
16. The production, which was
described by one of the cast as
being in “sort of a Walt Disney
mood,” is entirely original as to
music and dancing. The music is
composed and played by Hans
Schumann, while the dances have
been carefully created to harmon-
ize by Miss Petts and the per-
formers.

Although the story is the con-
ventional one of Sleeping Beauty
and the prince, the presentation is
reported to be startlingly unusual.
It is calculated to surprise and
amuse you constantly, and, al-

though the performers would re-

veal few details, we learned that
the prince will enter on a tricycle
love with a
dilapidated phonograph.

The ballet will begin at nine in

the evening. The producers are!
anxious to inform everyone that |

there will be no charge for admis-
sion, that the performance will

Labor’s Strike Gains
Analyzed by Fairchild

pany. Under the settlement agreed
upon, all employees will return ex-
cept three. A mediation board,
will be set up, and workers elec-
tions will be held. This shows
some yielding on the part of Ford,
who has always claimed that he
would never bargain with organ-
ized labor. A similar demand for
the right of collective bargaining
was granted workers of the Beth-
lehem Steel Company.

: The threatened strike at U. S.
Steel brought the employees a
wage increase and a revision of
vacation and seniority rights, but
the demand for a closed shop was
not conceded. The Northern coal
miners were likewise given a wage
increase, though the guarantee ,of
two hundred days work was con-
sidered impossible. This settle-
ment has conflict with the Southern mine
workers. In this situation, freight
weight differentials are an impor-
tant factor and their equalization,
suggested by President Roosevelt,
may help, to solve the problem.

The Ford and Bethlehem strikes
are the culmination of years of ef-
fort on the part of the workers to
have.the principles of the National
Labor Relations Act accepted. In
cases coming up before federal
courts, the decisions probably will
be against the companies. Both
companies have been cited by the
