Immediate War Is
Opposed In Poll by
A Slight Majority
Vote of 223 to 187 Splits

Halls, Majors, Classes
On War Issue





The only unanimous opinion re-
vealed by the poll conducted last
week by the News is the belief that

the Allies are not yet beaten.
Aside from this heartening fact,
the questionnaire indicated a split
in campus opinion. Two hundred
and twenty-three, or about 54.7
per cent of the 410 students polled
were not in favor of declaring war
immediately; 187, opr about 45.3
per cent approved a \Rdelaration of
war. The results of the poll are
tabulated below:
1. Are you in favor of declaring
war now? Yes, 187. No, 223.
If “yes,” is it because you be-
lieve: (Check one or more).
a.) An Allied victory is es-
sential to world democ-
racy? 128.
b.) An Allied victory is es-
sential to U. S. democ-
racy? 76.
ec.) Our immediate entry
would be more effective
than an inevitable later
entry? 149. '
If ‘‘no,” is it because you be-
lieve: (Check one.or more).
a.) We can aid the Allies
sufficiently without en-
tering the war? 120.
b.) U.S. is not yet materi-
ally prepared to declare
war. IZ], |
ce.) This is not the strategic
moment for the U. S. to
enter the war? 54.
‘d.) Our aid is not necessary
for an Allied victory? 3.
e.) Allies are already beat-
en; we would be enter-
ing a cause already lost?
0.
f.) War would jeopardize
democracy in U.S.? 26.
g.) Victory of the Allies is
not essential to our wel-
fare? 9,
h.) Victory of the Allies is
not essential to world

welfare? 11.
i.) You are against all
war? 43.

2. Do you believe. aid short of war
is possible? Yes, 212. No,
190.

3. Which of the following do you
feel should most concern you,

Red Cross Nursing
_Given at Bryn Mawr



3 Months’ Practical Training
Shortens Required Course
For Nurses



This summer a_ Red _ Cross
Nurse’s training camp had its head-
quarters for twelve weeks on the
Bryn Mawr campus. Established
as a step toward increasing the
nation’s supply of well qualified
nurses enabled by superior prep-
aration to participate effectively in
the health services of National De-
fense, it was modelled on a similar
camp held at Vassar in 1918.

The Red Cross underwrote the
summer’s_ intensified preclinical
course for college graduates in con-
junction with Bryn Mawr and the
Woman’s Medical College in order
to speed up the usual three year
course required for nurses. Those
completing the summer course en-
tered accredited nursing schools
this fall. ve

The students, among whom were
Helen Sobol and Francis Lewis,
Bryn Mawr,’ ’41, paid a nominal
fee of $100.00 for the summer’s
course.

Dr. Dorothy S. White, chairman
of the executive committee of the
camp summarized in a letter to the
News. “It is too soon to evalu-
ate entirely the effect of the work
this summer,” she said... “but

Gassner to Instruct
Playwriting Course

In Theatre Workshop

In about two weeks the Theatre
Workshop will be remodelled.
This will be done under the direc-
tion of Mr. John Gassner, the visit-
ing professor from New York who
will give the playwriting course
this year. The Workshop will be
done in a modern manner, realistic
yet formal, fit for all kinds of
plays,

Mr. Gassner plans to start his
class with simple monologues, work
up to one act plays, and end with
a major production for spring.
These plays will be acted and di-
rected by members of the Players’
Club as well as by the class. To
cooperate effectively, Players’ Club
members who are cast for parts in
these original plays will probably
attend some of the classes. A
short play/ has already been writ-
ten by Isabel Martin, ’42, and will

The Old Order Changeth, Giving Place To
Bathtubs, Showers, Sinks and Chromium



By Mary Barbara Kauffman, °43

The trouble with Bryn Mawr’s
sanitary facilities is one of dispro-
portion. ;

Wyndham has approximately one
bath tub for every four persons.
The German House has two for its
12 inmates, but you can’t regulate
the water. However, until recently,
there was a part of Denbigh—that:
highly civilized. hall—which offered
one bathtub for ten people, and thed
door didn’t even lock.

_Miss Thomas once announced in
an assembly that any student who
didn’t take three baths ‘a day was
a danger to society. This would
mean that, allowing half an hour
per bath, the bathroom should be
in constant use for 15 hours of the
day, and, if one takes time out for
meals, there shouldn’t have been
one waking moment when that

room was empty.

Whether it ever was empty we
shall not say.

But, like the old order, the hall’s
sonditions have changed. Some
even think improved. —-The—bath-
room of Denbigh’s “Chicken Coop”
was done over last summer.

The: tin, four-footed tubs have
been replaced by porcelain footless
specimens. The crude, antiquated
bbasins have yielded-to square. ones
of shimmering white. Grey show-
er curtains for three new showers
blend harmoniously with chrom-
ium aceessories; the whole is a
masterpiece of functional art.

Public opinion approves, except
for one perfectionist. “There are
not any paper towels,” she said.
“And the water’s not running.
But,” she added a little more gent-
ly, “it’s nice to have good lights.”

First of Greek Art

Flexner Lectures To

Be Given by Richter









Dr. Gisela M. Richter will de-
liver the first of the five Flexner
Léctures on The Art of Archaic
Greece against its Historical Back-
ground, in the Auditorium of Good-

hart on Monday, Oct. 13th, at 8.30
P. M. The lecture is titled: The
Art of Mainland Greece under the
Aristocrats and under Solon and
Periander,

Dr. Richter; curator of Greek and
Roman Art at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art in New York since
1925, has been with the museum
since she first came to the United
States in 1906. Daughter of a
well-known art critic, she studied
at Cambridge University, England,
specializing in archaic Greek sculp-
ture, from 1901-1904, and was
British Scholar in Archaeology at
Athens, Greece, in 1904-1905. She
is an honorary member of the So-
ciety for the Promotion of Hellenic
Studies and associate editor of the
American Journal of Archaeology.

Dr. Richter -is responsible for
many recent acquisitions of the
Metropolitan Museum’s Greek and
Roman section. Well known. both
in the United States and abroad,
Dr. Richter is, to quote Mr. Rhys
Carpenter, “an example of the fact
that women make quite as good
archaeologists as men.”



Alumnae Redecorate
Rooms for Writing,
For Precious Books

The Rare Book Room, which
was furnished by a gift of the
Class of 1912, will be open to any-
one during stack hours. At present
the room contains rare books owned
by the library. Later it will also
be used to display borrowed col-
lections. A collection of incuna-
bula is on exhibition now in the
table case and is arranged to show
different kinds of page forms and
types used in the 15th century. In
the cabinet against the wall. there
are 16th century books showing
various interesting printers’ de-
vices used on title pages.

The old seminar room fo. the
right of the reading room has been
refurnished by a gift of the Class
of 1907. Its comfortable chairs
and excellent lighting are designed
for anyone writing long papers or
doing other special work.

The New. Book. Room has two
reserved shelves this year, one on
the “Present Crisis” and the other
on “Recovery of Ideals.” The lat-
ter was the outgrowth of an idea
of Miss Cornélia Meigs afid Mr.
Chew, and contains such books as
those on the life of Christ and on
Father Damian.

Carrels have now been placed
on the second of the three floors of
the West Wing stacks.





Enrollment, Plans for Year
Announced in Opening

Goodhart Auditorium, Tuesday,
September 30.—Plans for the col-



lege year, new fellowship appoint-
ments, a large and diverse Fresh-
man enrollment, and two important
gifts to the college were an-
nounced by President Park in her
address at the Chapel which inau-
gurated the fifty-seventh academic
year.

Miss Park reported on the sum-
mer activities on campus: the ses-
sions of the International Rela-
tions Service of the Friends Serv-
ice Committee; and ‘the thirteen

Opinion Groups in U.S.
To Be Considered in
First College Forum



The members of last year’s group
for research and forums on cur-
rent problems have been constituted
a guiding committee for the pres-
entation of at least six open for-
ums this winter.

The forums will raise questions
as to the implications of current
events, and will emphasize the
changes occurring now. It is im-
portant, the committee feels, to dis-
cuss these changes and to develop
an inquiring attitude. It has no
unified, partisan policy, but wishes
to do revealing, and thorough _re-
search on all problems considered.

At some of the forums outside
speakers will be presented. At
others, undergraduates will discuss
the interpretation and _ potentiali-
ties of the present situation or
will present special topics. Each-
forum will be open afterwards fore
comments and questions from the
floor.

The members of the committee
are: Vivi French, Ellen Stone,
Nancy Ellicott, Rosalind Wright,
Helen Resor, Louise Lewis, and,
ex officio, Joan Gross. There will
be opportunity for the election of
additional - members during the
year. “ :

The first forum, which will be
presented near the end of October,
will deal with the different kinds
of opinion groups in the United
States. There will be later ones on
the changing government of the
United States, inflation, labor, and
governments of the South Amer-
ican republics.

Miss Park Calls On Each Individual To Make
Immediate Final Decision About World War



President Declares Herself
Ready to Ask End
Of Neutrality

Goodhart Auditorium, Tuesday,
September. 30.—President Marion
Edwards Park, in a speech mark-
ing the opening of the fifty-seventh
academic year, called upon each
individual to make a final decision
about the present World War. The
immediate decision



necessity for
is greater than the advantages of
the “openminded-
ness” to which we have clung for
too long, she said; and declared “I
for one am ready to ask that the
its

noncommittal

government should abandon
non-belligenerency, whether by ab-
rogating the Neutrality Act, break-
ing off diplomatic relations with
Germany, or declaring war.”’

Distaste for a final decision has
been an index of our thought for
twenty years, said Miss Park. The
older generation lost its self-con-
fidence when it saw failure follow
the first World War; the younger
generation, granted a new freedom,
has not met its opportunity with
assurance and responsibility. In
the face of the world conflict we
have hesitated, counting our rea-
sons for postponing the choice.

Hatred of war, deep uncertainty
as to what the outcome of this war
can be, recognition of democratic
failings in England and Russia,
and the knowledge that we have
still to perfect democracy at home
—these have been our reasons for
delay. But, Miss Park insisted,
“beside them in their evident truth
and reality is this morning a
stronger truth and reality still.” It
is our responsibility “to protect
fundamental freedoms, threatened
in Europe, threatened only less di-
rectly and less immediately in this
hemisphere.” 4

With final decision, we must ac-
cept change, less prosperous times,
sharp demands upon our energies.
Completion of our college educa-
tion will give us-skills more valu-
able than knitting. And increased
democratic thinking and jractice
will fit us to work for the new
world which we hope for.



Honorary Degree
Given Miss Swindler
By Indiana University



Miss Mary H. Swindler, of the
of archaeology, was

Law last June by the University

of Indiana, where she delivered the

Commencement Address.

The degree of L.L.D. is always

an honorary one, and, a rare thing
in itself, is all the more so when

it is awarded to a woman by a co-
Miss Swin-

ter’s degree at the University of

Indiana in 1905 and 1906.
Among the factors-which led to

her receiving the award are her

‘book’ on Ancient Painting, publish-..

ed in 1929, and her work. for the
American Journal of Archaeology,
of which she has been the editor-
in-chief during the--past ten years.
“But what. impressed me most,”
she remarked, ‘‘was that I had to
deliver the Commencement Address
in a stadium with eight thousand
people, and that thirteen hundred
students received degrees.”

Now
Following in the wake of Miss Park’s speech, the poll on the
war was significant. First, it reflected the indecision of the campus
as a whole. Second, it revealed lack of thorough thought, for too



_ often such glaring inconsistencies as “no, I am against declaring

war now because we can aid the allies sufficiently without entering
the war; no, aid~short of war is not possible” were recorded on the
same sheet.

In February, 1941, a large majority of Bryn Mawr students
approved, on paper, the lend-lease bill. The campus’ present re-
luctance to support fully the program implied in that bill points
neither to apathy nor misunderstanding, but to indecision. °

But circumstance more than principle forces our choice now.
The war has reached this country. Our private and cherished
skepticisms as to its origins or outcome will not effect its course.

None of our hopes or visions concerning the changes which this !

war will bring can be realistic until we see that, the changes are in
progress at this moment. Each new defense agency, every shift
in-power, every administrative device is a part of the pattern of
precedent which will determine our post-war social organization.

The changes are in progress now; they are not a matter of
theoretical speculation. If we feel, as we say we do, that ““post-
war” reconstruction problems are of primary coricern to us, we
cannot hold these in abeyance until a peace is signed.

Decisiveness is requisite to action. Miss Park has made this
principle clear. Our~speculation and—our idealism will have no
actualization until we can reach decisions with the confidence and
finality which her speech demonstrated and advised.







No Flowers by Request

It would be more than unwise not to stop, look, and again
consider the question of May Day, in the light of the important
ideas Miss Park’s challenging speech presents. Our time this
winter will be precious, our emotions will be strong, and we should
be sure that we choose the most valuable and the most vital activi-
ties to which to devote our whole efforts.

The demand for constructive activity has been answered. In
the list of the six defense courses announced on Monday each
individual will recognize a comprehensive program of training, and
will hail at least one course in particular as work she is anxious to
master. The newly organized Forum, with opportunities to gain
experience in contemporary research and skill in speaking, grew,
almost spontaneously, from the desire of students to revitalize the
.work carried on, in more halcyon days, by the Peace Council and
to share in the investigation of problems raised by the National

Emergency.



PENN POINTS

By Jessie Stone, ’44



Following the pattern suggested
in June, 1940, by La Guardia’s na-
tional Office of Civilian Defense,
civilian organization went forward
effectively throughout Pennsylva-

nia. Philadelphia was an excep-
tion.
But, after ten months (and they

Mayor Lamberton, prodded by the
Governor, appointed a local defense
council. Dr. Hubley R. Owen, Di-
rector of Public Health, was named
to organize the council; he placed
;several hundred Philadelphians on
committees. Few of these commit-
jtees actually functioned. In the
‘course of a four weeks’ campaign
'to enlist 50,000 Philadelphians as
|air-wardens, fire-fighters and for
other civilian tasks in case of air-
attack—about 2000 volunteered.

In August Dr. Owen, disturbed
'by public disinterest in the civilian
defense program, called together
the council’s able publicity commit-
tee to discuss the problem. Dr.
Owen suggested that the council
employ a paid, full-time publicity
man. But A. R. Griffin, assistant
managing editor of the Philadel-
phia Record; R. A: Thornburgh,
city editor of the Philadelphia In-
quirer; T. D. Richter, public rela-
tions director of the Chamber of
Commerce, and K. W. Stoweman,
director of WCAU, doubted the
need of paying for such services.
They advanced ideas which they
thought might arouse interest in
the Civilian Defense Program.
“Oh, you.newspapermen are all
alike,” replied Dr. Owen. “All you
want is to do something dramatic |
'for the headlines.” |
With the local council inactive,
‘Governor James finally appointed
la district defense council whose job
|was to map and execute a co-ordi-
nated defense for Philadelphia and
vicinity.

On September 24 the Philadel-
phia District Defense Council held
its first meeting. No plan was
proposed to rally the people for
defense. No date was set for the
next meeting. No committees were
set up to proceed vigorously, to
working out practical proposals
and to execute those proposals. A
reporter present at the meeting
jotted down the minutes of the
meeting as follows:

“1. Wondered what constitutes
the Philadelphia metropolitan
area, defense of which the coun-
cil is supposed to plan.

“2. Listened to Main Line
fears that air raids might. bring
‘persons of foreign birth’ from
South Philadelphia to seek sanc-
tuary on their lawns.

| “3. Appointed chairman (but
no members) of a committee to
try to define the metropolitan
area.

“4, Adjourned without setting
a date for a second session.”
On the night of September 27

the federal government intervened
in Philadelphia defense. Mayor La
Guardia by executive order created
an Office of Civilian Defense for
the Philadelphia metropolitan area.

ORALLY



Complete astronomical frustra-
tion seems to have been the key-
note of the German Oral this fall.
Students strove vainly to keep in
tune with the music of the spheres,

but it would not do. Swept up
into a jumbled universe, they
were confounded by “myridions of
planets,” “dark light rays,” and
“unbending sea air.” In this ce-
lestial turmoil, orbs were “cylin-
drical’”’ and discs “spherical,” and
“the traveled like a top
around her shoulder.”

One sufferer, failing to make
any order out of chaos, plowed on:
“they though with all, what in
and on her is, self with the sur-
rounding sea air, daily like a top
around the axle and yearly from
an uncertain hand is_ driven

around the sun with a great haste, |

the other very far overtrumped,
which we can give the body of the
earth through the strength of the
powders of the steam.”

It is no wonder that another soul,
thoroughly unnerved and shaken
by this cosmic ordeal, looked tim-
idly_around for “some symbol of
solididarity.”



A regional co-ordinator will head
the city’s defense work’ and will
supersede local authorities. Fed-
eral GCD also settled the ques-
tion of what constitutes the Phila-
delphia metropolitan area by look-
ing it up in the U. S. Census book.
The metropolitan area of “Phila-
delphia has a population of 2,898,-
644, includes roughly the counties
of Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Mont-
gomery and Philadelphia in the
State of Pennsylvania; in the State
of New Jersey, the counties of
Burlington, Camden and Glouces-
ter.”

The September executive order,
coincident with newspaper publi-
city of Owen’s inactivity, have al-
ready given new spirit impetus to
Philadelphia civilian defense. More
news on this next week when pro-
ceedings, it is hoped, will be
launched, perhaps even with “dra-
matic headlines.”

| WIT’s END





Something has obviously gone —

wrong with the air conditioning,
and the last time we pressed the

little button alongside the smoking ~

room door, no porter appeared with
the usual tray of mint juleps. Any
day now we can expect to see a
group of graduate students danc-
ing on Merion Green, singing To
the Maypole in an hysterical fal-
setto. The poor things will
obviously be mad.

Moreover, this heat will certainly
not be good for the morale of the
Freshmen. Any moron knows how
passion flourishes in the tropics,
and in a weak moment they may
well establish contacts with Hav-
erford, and if they think they have
troubles now, after that fatal step,
they will probably commit suicide.
Anyway, if this keeps on, we. shall
have to fight every inch of the
way to establish contact with the
outside world. Armed only with
a small, rusty pickaxe, stolen from
the geology lab, we shall venture
forth, cutting our way through the
luxuriant @nderbrush springing up
on every side, and gathering arm-
fuls of rare orchids to put in the
fingerbowls. On the other hand,
there may well be a drought, and
on the sandy plains of_the Bryn
Mawr .desert the archaeology de-
partment will be digging up God
knows what atrocities, while the
student body trains camels for
civilian defense. If anyone of you
wants to conduct a poll on this
problem, just pull yourself to-
gether, take one or maybe several
stiff drinks, and forget about it as
soon as humanly possible.

OPINION

Miss Park has received a great
deal of mail commenting on her
speech at the opening assembly.

Among appreciative notes was
one sent by C. Mildred Thompson,
Dean of Vassar, and one from
Hans Kohn. From. the opposite
camp we print the two following:
“Dear Miss Park:

You would do the eighty million
Christian Americans, who want
peace, a great favor, if you would
take the foreign refugees, including
yourself, over to Europe, and stay
there.

It is the likes of you, who put the
welfare of Great Britain first and
America second, helping to do your
part in whipping up a war hys-
teria.

The place for your refugees is
back in Europe where they belong.
We have~many children here in
America that we should give aid
to.

I am

And on a postcard:

“Well if you want to tight for
Britain why the hell don’t you go
over and fight? You are only a
swivel chair slacker fighter that
wants our poor draftees plowed
under for Britishism and Godless

Russia! We draftees won’t fight

Jocelyn Fleming, head of the Stu-

signing up for courses on the
papers passed around in the halls,
will be organized into groups of |
twenty for first aid courses, thirty |.
for shorthand and typing courses,
and about fifteen for auto me-
chanics courses. . Lists will be
posted on the defense bulletin
board. All courses except the Hos-
pital Emergency Course will prob-
ably be at night, Wednesday being
the preferred one.

Red Cross first aid and home’!
nursing courses will be given in
the gym, one evening a_ week.
There will be a charge of three dol-
lars a person for the latter. Red
Cross certificates will be given on
the successful completion of these
courses.

The Bryn Mawr Hospital will
take small groups of four or five
students on Saturday mornings to
be instructed in doing the odd jobs
involved in hospital work. They
will be made acquainted with all
the parts and equipment of a hos-
pital, in the techniques of sterliza-
tion, and care of materials. They
will be concerned with the Accident
Ward in particular, and will actu-
ally be able to do some of the odd
jobs which an untrained worker
can do. There will be no real
medical instruction, of course, ex-
cept that necessary in explaining
these jobs, but the student will be
equipped to do similar work in
other hospitals.

The course in typing and filing
and that in shorthand and _ book-
keeping will be given at the Secre-

45 Siuadhes Long Parade Night Tradition:



By Anne Denny, °43 _
September 30.—Halos surrourid
the heads. of the noble class of ’44.
This year’s Parade Night was a

gentle variety—an unusually se-

kept the
song in great scarcity, and not a
flicker of an idea entered the
Sophomores’ heads until the band
struck up.

Groups of furtive Freshmen
huddled in the field behind Good-
hart on September 29, coming in
relays all afternoon to practice the
song. The few copies of the words
were hidden, not in left-hand bu-
reau drawers and not under pil-
lows, but pinned in the more in-
timate portions of a ladies’ ap-
parel.

At seven forty-five on Parade
Night, the’ nervous class of ’45
quietly marched between the lines
of . quieter Juniors whose _ only
trouble was in keeping their caps
on. The caissons started rolling
when the band finally appeared,
and the crowd coughed noisily
down the hill in the usual way.
The shock came when no parody
flashed back.

Either through indifference or
politeness the Sophomores re-
frained from the annual “I’m-a-non-
res -so-could- you - please-teach-me-
the-words” gags. Trying to shame
the Juniors for their nasty ingenu-
ity of. last. year’s spur-of-the-mo-
ment parody, they invented a sweet
and noble song and admitted de-
feat by the light of the bonfire.

said that the schools they had at-

; indigns early summer,
Mr. Alec Miff€r, a stone carver

from Chipping Campden, England,
was at Bryn Mawr, working on the
new wing of the library. In ad-
ditidh to the rich garlands and
scrolls on the big south doorway,
Mr. Miller has also carved bosses
and a row of six little shields over
each door’on the west side of the
building. It is interesting to note
that the figures. on these shields
represent the traditional. elements
of British heraldry. Over the right
door, Mr. Miller told us, are the
Ordinaries, the most fundamental
divisions of the shield. They are
reading from left to right: the
Chief, Pale, Fess, Bend, Chevron,
and Cross. Over the left door are
additional, slightly more compli-
cated patterns, the Subordinaries,
which are, also from left to right:

Quarter, Canton, Gyron, Bordure,
Orle, and Engrailed.
The decorative beasts in the

Cloisters are also Mr. Miller’s work,
as are the bosses on the porch of the

Dr. Fenwick, discussing current ;

events last. evening, presented a |
brief outline of the developments |"
leading up to the present question:
What will the United States do
about repealing the Neutrality
Act?

Learning from the ‘first World !

War that we could not remain neu-
tral by following the International
Neutrality Laws, the administra-
tion in 1985 decided to pass a law
preventing citizens from lending
money to belligerent countries. In
1987 a law was passed forbidding
Americans to take passage on ships

belonging to nations at war, and!

declaring it unlawful for Ameri-
can ships to enter belligerent ports.

After England’s declaration of
war against Germany, Congress
repealed the embargo on arms and
brought the system of “cash and
carry” into effect. Next followed
the transaction between England
and. the United States - involving
the exchange of 50 of our de-
stroyers for air bases. Last spring
the Lend-Lease Act went into
effect.

We have been violating the Neu-
trality Act since 1935, and it now
remains for the American people
to make up their minds whether
or not the Neutrality Act shall be
“repealed.”’ There are two choices:
the entire act may be repealed, or
only a part of it. Our armed
ships may be allowed to take goods
to“ Allied territories, while the
clauses may be preserved which
forbid American citizens to take
passage on ships entering war
zones and
money to belligerent nations.

It has provided in its students a
detailed example of the effect of a
preclinical course before entering
hospital training schools, . which
should lead to far-reaching results
in nursing education. Secondly, it
has brought home to a considerable
group of people the immense
amount of training, intellectual ef-
fort, discipline of character, and
opportunity for a goal of undoubt-
edly useful service, that the nurs-
ing profession has to offer the col-
lege woman.... With its close
relationship to the training needed
by the women who are wives and
parents as well as its career open-
ings, it has a serious appeal to the
attention of a vast number of wom-
en, and the great development in
its intellectual training in the past
quarter century has made it of spe-
cial interest to those who have the

mildness—with less nicotine in the smoke. - :

What cigarette are you smoking now? Chances are it’s one of the five
included in the nicotine tests reported above at the left—tests which trace

« Camel’s advantage right down to the actual smoke itself. Obviously, the’
smoke’s the thing!

pared to enter nursing schools,
with only two years of further
training to be completed.

Three lecture series were an-
nounced. In memory of Dr. David
Hilt Tennent, the Committee on the
Joint Teaching of the Sciences has

- planned five lectures; each by an

eminent. scientist, in\, chemistry,
biology, physics, geology and
mathematics. The first will be Dr.

. Louis F. Fieser, formerly associate

professor here, now Emery Profes-
sor at Harvard, who is the first
American to win the Judd Prize
for the treatment of cancer. Dr.
Tennent also worked in cancer
research, and since Dr. Fieser was
an associate and friend of his, the
choice is a particularly vocations
one.

the Department of Greek and Ro-
man Art at the Metropolitan Mu-
seum, and author of Sculpture and
Sculptors of the Greeks, will be-
gin in October the Flexner lec-
tures, on The Art of Archaic

manent Court of International Jus-
tice, and Bemis Proféssor of Inter-

more, and Bryn Mawr.

Scholarship for graduate work has
been awarded to Christina Garret,

Honors Students

Last spring the Under-
graduate Curriculum Com-
mittee petitioned the faculty
that honors students be al-
lowed to attend the Journal
Club meetings of their de-
partments, where papers on
particular subjects are read
and discussed. Miss Taylor
has announced that honors
candidates will be invited to
these meetings whenever the
subject is one that will in-
terest them.







ship will be held by Gabriele
Schoepflich of Munich. There are
three teaching fellows attached to
the modern language departments:
Genevieve Tissot from France,
Fernanda Misani from Italy, and
Anneliese Pulvermann from Ger-
many.

The Freshman Class is 133
strong, swelling the undergradu-
ate enrollment to 503. Twenty-
nine per cent. prepared for college
at public schools, the largest pro-
portion ever reached. Six had
their entire preparation abroad;
and ten foreign countries are rep-
resented. More than fifteen stood

first in their class; and forty-four |
of the group, the.Dean’s office hope- |

fully predicts, will- emerge from
college with their coveted cum
laudes.

Two very generous gifts from
alumnae have been received by the
college. The first, the Rare Book
Room, furnished by the Class of
1912, will be officially opened on
October 18. The other, a rehabili-
tation of the old Art Seminary, to
serve as a Writing Room, was the

| gift of the Class of 1907.

4. What single factor do you con-
sider most essential to a sat-
isfactory post-war reconstruc-
tion?

Responses to the fourth question
were not particularly varied.
Roughly 25 per cent of those an-
swering the question considered a
just peace, with fair treatment of
conquered nations, the factor most
essential to a satisfactory post-war
reconstruction. Almost another 25
per cent. singled out economic
stabilization. Some form of “in-
ternational co-operation,” a “league
of all nations,” and ‘‘Union Now”
were frequent responses; alto-
gether about another 25 per cent.

An emphasis on éducatioh appeared
on 28 forms, the word “tolerance”
was used often, and 14 people ad-
vocated the complete defeat of

the peace treaty; a powerful league
of nations; Union Now; complete
defeat of fascism; a working de-

mocracy; Free Trade; _ health,
realism; socialism; support of
Roosevelt;. and a return to, the

princ‘ples of Christianity.
Although the split was reflected
throughout all -the tabulations,
Rockefeller and Rhoads were most
against a declaration of war; and
Pem East and Rhoads house most
of those who voted “against all
war.” Of all the majors, only one

The classes were divided on an
