‘On Man ‘Lectures

Spur to Discussion Praised,
_ Opithions Vary on Success

Of Integration

OTHER DEPARTMENTS |
WISH TO CONTRIBUTE







There seems to be unanimous agree-
ment among faculty members about
the success. of the lectures on man.
In their individual comments they
stressed first of all the value per se
of such experiments and the stimulus
they give to outside discussion. Their
reasons for the former were varied,
some closely related to their own aca-
demic fields, some Stated as personal
points of view.

Mr. Anderson, of the Department
of Economics, thinks that the lectures
started discussion which would not
otherwise have taken place, and that
for this reason they wéte important
and .extremely successful. - He does
not mean the discussion that took
place after each lecture, but the talk-
ing over between students of the prob-
lems presented by the speakers. He
thinks that another series of the same
sort would be a good idea, but, he
adds, by peuple of the same eompe-
tence.

In this he was seconded by Mrs. de
Laguna, of the Department of Phi-
losophy, who suggested a new series
_ another year and on another subject.
“““Shé is equally enthusiastic about the

lectures as a whole and approves of
the discussions, which seemed to her
to show real interest on the part of
the students. -In this case she thinks
the idea of an outside speaker was
a good one} but that the integration
“of the lectures was not wae sue-
cessful.

It is interesting to note the differ-
ences of opinion on this point. In-
tegration was Miss Fairchild’s espe-
cial problem. There seemed to her
to be a decided attempt to achieve:
this between the subjects of Miss Du-'
bois and Mr. MacKinnon. Miss Du-
bois’s representation was particularly
valuable to the Department of Social
Economy because of its interest in
anthropology. In future lectures this
department would like to take some
part itself, and is in favor of as much
integration as possible in the field of
the social sciences. ‘This sort of. in-
tegration could be worked out, and in
fact, is going to be worked out in an
experiment of the same kind—the
coming of Mrs. Wooton, who will at-

‘tempt to tie together the work of dif-
ferent departments.

Mr. Michels, of the Physics Depart-
ment, saw one very interesting result,
which is related to Miss Fairchild’s

“TRUE LOVE” EMERGES

When the curtains part on the
French Club production of Moliere’s
L’Ecole des Maris next Saturday eve-
ning a street in seventeenth century
Paris will be recreated. All the var-
ied traffic, including mischievous gam-
ins, flirtatious vegetable vendors, cob-
+blers and tinkers, pass across the
stage as they once thronged the busy
Pont Neuf. Against this background
the course of true love runs somewhat
roughly. for poor Isabelle and her de-
voted lover, Valére. They at last
succeed in duping ber stern guardian,
who has taken it for granted that his
love for Isabelle is requited. In the
meantime the gentler methods. of
Sganarelle’s brother, Ariste, who has
brought up Lénor, sister of Isabelle,
are justified when Lénor assures him
of her scorn for young gallants such
as her sister finds :so intriguing and
of her love for him. In the end every-
one is so happy, save for the disil-
lusioned Sganarelle, that they join in
a merry dance before they go off to
be entertained in the house of Ariste,
and the crieur des heures passes to
wish the audience a good night.

seniors:

“All seniors who are doing sia) shins

“Quizzes to cover the work of the sec-
ond half of the semester may be re-
quired of seniors and will be scheduled
for the second week of the examina-
tion period. The procedure with re-
gard to these quizzes will be very
much.the same as in the ‘first semester.

. “Seniors who must take course ex-
arainiation’ because their work in the
course has not been satisfactory will
receive a notice to that effect from
the Dean’s office.

“In general, the schedule for the final
examination in the major subject will
run from Monday, May 17, to Monday,
May 24, inclusive. Further details
with regard to this schedule will not
be available until after the spring va-

League Pushes Drive to Collect Clothing
For Bryn Mawr Hospital Thrift Shop



“Gale at Minimum Prices Serves
Two-Fold Purpose of Economy
For Clinic and Buyers



From now until Spring vacation be

on the lookout for sweaters, skirts,.

blouses, anything you might wish to
exclude from your wardrobe. Some-
one else can use them. The Bryn
Mawr League is sponsoring a drive
for the Thrift Shop of the Bryn Mawr
Hospital. They need/the clothes and
we can undoubtedly’ supply them.
The Thrift Shop sells: articles of
clothing to the poor at prices lower
‘than the stores. The idea is not to
- get money from the poor, but to help
' “them maintain their self-respect by
putting the clothes at a price within
their pocketbooks. People hate to
take chatity. The Hospital. realizes
that and is doing its best. to dispense
with ity
The money Sia a from the

clothes is used to maintain clinies and]
to provide milk for babies in the baby

clinic, Therefore, a two-fold benefit
_ is reaped from the shaintenance of the
Thrift. Shop. Anything: the wader-



otkdaatat can do to give the shop more
material would be helping not only the
poor buyers, but also the Hospital.
The Hospital, needless to say,.is a
great advantage to the College. Only
half a mile away, it stands ready for
any emergency which may confront
us. It has served us numerous times
and has never asked us for any help
in return. For this reason, both Mrs. |
Chadwick-Collins and the Bryn Mawr
League wish this drive to be success-

ful, and it will be only if supported

by every Student in the College.
There will be representatives in
each hall to whom you may bring
your ¢ontributions. If for no other
reason than to clean out your closet
or wardrobe, get rid of your old

man out of work. ~Phe following are

representatives for the drive:

Own Creative Methed



Main Interest is in People in All
Walks of Life



Deanery, March 11 .—F rankness and
self-confidence characterized Mr. Han-
iel Long’s approach to an analysis of
his creative method in Pittsburgh
Memoranda. The theme, the care, the
research and experience which ..went
into its composition show why the
book has been termed “an exciting
dossier of American times.” Mr.
Long’s main: interest is people, and
particularly the people of Pittsburgh,
in-all walks of life.

Two prologues were composed before
Mr. Long felt. that he had successfully
stated his theme, his. purpose in writ-
ing the book.as shown in the last lines
of the present prologue:

“ ... we to explore and hope,
making the filaments of. a new
compass out of our need to come
to terms with ourselves, with the
others who live life with us, and
thé life that lives all.”

The first prologue, completed in
1915, was considerably influenced by
Santayana’s Three Philosophical Poets.
Eight years later he returned to the
philosophy-he had learned from James
and Royce while attending Harvard
because he felt that Santayana and
these three great poets on which he
had written could not help him visu-
alize pictures of. the city which he
wished to portray in poetry.

The second version included a pro-
logue making “dbjéctive comments;
characters from Dante, Goethe. and
Lucretius, as well as a presentation
of the inside of the city which was
closer to reality‘than the previous pro-
logue. Hé felt that he must see all
parts of the city through his own eyes.
During its composition he was aided,
but not satisfied; by Sandburg’s Chi-
cago poems and Master’s Spoon River
Anthology.

‘Before the third version’ of the
“Memoranda,” Pittsburgh began to be
documented. Mr. Long selected rec-
letters of men during
emergencies when they are most them-
selves. Homestead, a record of\ the
famous _strike, fs written in three di-
visions: the first gives prose records;
the second, a the third,
poetié comment. As . Long says,
these accounts of Ps Frick and
Berkmann show. a remarkable beauty
even though it is cruel.

A first. draft of the memoranda in
blank verse proved unsatisfactory be-
cause it involved changing the exact
words of records and letters which
have been selected to give each sec-
tion a quality of its own.. Feeli at
what the modern poet has to say is
of a complicated nature: because it
includes many fields, Mr. Long feels

PLANS FOR SCIENCE
BUILDING ARE. SHOWN

Miss Park’s House, March 11.—To
the March meeting of the College
Council Miss Park showed the present
blueprints of the new science build-
ing, announced’ that ground would



probably be broken by the end of this :

year. The Council discussed at length
the advantages to students and the
disadvantages to the college of a press
club and proposed that the issue be
shelved for a year until student in-
terest and the new publicity director
should decide one way or the other.
Miss Park asked all members to think
over the value one way or the other of
general honors (cum laude, magna
cum laude, summa cum laude) with a
degree and bring their opinions to
the May meeting.

Mrs. Collins explained that a press
club is a student orgafization which
writes up the releases from the
college to newspapers. At Mount
Holyoke where the press club is the
most satisfactory, the publicity di-
rector supervises the gathering of the
news, teaches. journalistic writing to,
board members and approves all re-
leases before they are sent out. Each
student is paid by space by the news-
paper to which she sends her stories.
At present all news from Bryn Mawr
is written and sent out free of charge
by the Publications Office. Letters
from other college press boards point
out that there is no advantage to the
college. publicity in a press club, but
that it does provide. practical training
for students interested ‘in journalism
and.in some cases limited sources of
income for needy students. It gives
students a feeling of greater respon-
sibility and interest in the college,
while it would not change the college
publicity in the eastern,gijties, it might
spread information about ‘the. college

cil believes, because Bryn Mawr has

MIKADO STAGING WILL |

With the date of the production of

The Mikado, only six weeks away, -

definite _plans are being completed by
the costume and scenery committees
with an eye to making the college’ver-
sion of the operetta appear as much
like a professional job as possible.

Mr. Alwyne, who is directing the
production, wants the scenery design
to be traditional, and has given the
committee headed by Anne Wyld, ’38,
pictures of the latest sets used by the
D’Oyly Carteé-Opera Company. Jeanne

Quistgaard, ’38, is copying these de- -

signs. She explains that there will be
one basic set, consisting of a painted
panoramic backdrop and side flats.

The committee ‘hopes to be able to—

rent the backdrop somewhere in Phila-
delphia, but if they can’t find a proper
one they will paint one themselves.
Costumes, too, are to be copied .af-
ter those recently used by D’Oyly
Carte Company. The traditional ki-
mono, sash, and chrysanthemum com-
‘bination, is to be replaced by a richer,
more realisti¢ costume. Anne Louise
Axon, ’40, chairman of the committee
says that the women will wear long
tunics covered by richly decorated ki-
mono-like robes; their hats will,be
similar to those worn by Chinese
coolies.: The men will be dressed in

: . No Compromise
Last week we had the pleasure of hear-
ing some of Mr. Hendrick Willem
Van Loon’s ideas on education. We
_-asked for a contribution, and (per-
haps because Mrs. Van Loon is Bryn
Mawr ’04) he very kindly wrote the
following editorial. It says far bet-
ter than we could, things we have
long wished to say. The News
board sends him thanks for his kind-
* ness and gratitude for his compli-
ments to Bryn Mawr.—Ed.

‘Let .us. get down to, the funda-
mentals. Why were schools founded?
In order to perform certain tasks
which the home, the oldest ‘of all
schools, could not do. The home could
train both” boys‘and girls in’ all the
necessities of life. But when it came
to reading and writing and arithmetic
the parents were either-too busy or. too
ignorant of those difficult mysteries
to teach them to their own offspring.
So they hired a member of the’ tribe
who had a greater aptitude for ab-
stract learning than they themselves
and said unto him or her, “We shall
relieve’ you of work on the farm, but
in return will you please see to it
that these infants learn their alpha-
bets and their tables of multiplication
so that they can all the better take
care of themselves. when they grow
up?” It was a satisfactory syste
and it worked for thousands of years.

But by and by the economics of ex-
istence became more complicated.’ The
home therefore ceased to be the uni-
versal training. school and the teach-
ers were asked to attend to a vast
number of subjects which formerly
the children had absorbed at their
mother’s knees or in fear of their
father’s strong right hand. The
teachers were willing enough. But
they soon realized that education can
never be a mass product and that the
school can only go so far and ‘no
further. To take care of the overflow
of particularly bright children, a sort
of “extension school” was therefore
called to life and these were known
as academies, colleges and universi-
ties.

We should remember this when. we
talk of our present difficulties. Col-
leges and universities were no sudden
gers They: grew-qtlite normally

ut of the needs of the schools to have

a~place-that-would—take-care—of the
exceptionally gifted members_ of : so-
ciety—to take care of the future Tead-
ers of our civilization. _
“In-our-own country a hundred” and
fifty years ago, when we reacted
vidlently against the inequalities of
the “privileged society” of Europe, we
also declared war upon an educational
arrangement that seemed to be lack-'
ing in the essentials of democracy.
And we defiantly declared our belief
in the right of every boy and girl to
enjoy an “equal education,”

Unfortunately in our. noble enthu-
siasm we overlooked one very impor-
tant fact. Equality of opportunity is
one thing, but equality. of ability is
something very different and in our
efforts to defeat the ends of nature
(which is. the most implacable enemy’
of the ideal of equality) we wasted
a lot of effort and a terrible lot of
money and we accomplished. just’ ex-
actly nothing except an even level of
mediocrity which rather makes us
shudder for the future.

Until now Bryn Mawr has been an
exception. Like a veritable rock it
has offered a final place of refuge, to
those who believe that ‘the fate of a
nation--depends—-upon-the-exceptional
qualities of its spiritual and scientific
pioneers.

We intend to keep it so!.

Common Room, March 16.—The sit-
down strikes, popular in France last
season’ and recently introduced into.
this country, have spread like wild-
fire until they seem to be creeping into
our very homes. The Chrysler com-
pany has become -the center of strike
activity. An injunction has been sent
them ordering the strikers out of the
factories by “nine-thirty “tomorrow
morning. This is a great. blow to
labor, since such an injunction per-
mits the law to imprison the offend-
ers without a. jury trial. When a
similar order was issued against Gen-
eral Motors’ strikers, Sloane, Murphy
and Lewis came to an agreement be-
fore violent enforcement was neces-
sary.

The Supreme Court likewise seems
to be having a sit-down. They have’
at present two decisions.before them,
both overdue; the Washington “State
Minimum Wage Law and, more im-
portant, the Wagner Labor Relations

‘Act, which requires collective bargain-

ing in all large factories. Both of
these acts could be declared unconsti-
tutional, but the Court refuses to give
a decision knowing that labor, .al-
ready partisan to President Roosevelt,
will raise immediate objections. It
may be possible, as on ,former occa-
sions, to split a few legal hairs and
avoid the issue.

There has been a call for a Youth

Peace Projects



The United. Student Peace Commit-
tee has announced a nation-wide
strike against war to be called on
April 22.

The strike calls for all students and
faculty members in“every college and ~
university in the country to assemble
from 11 a. m. until 12 noon on that
date, during which time demonstra-
tions against war will be staged

The national director of the Youth
Section of the Emergency Peace Cam-

.paign, Harold Chance, defined the pur-_

pose ofthe strike as. “a means of
dramatizing the extent of public opin-
ion for peace in the colleges and uni-
versities” and stated that “it will serve
to arouse greater effort for a ‘year-
round program of peace education and
action.” .

April ,22 will also be observed as a
fast day for students who wish. to
demonstrate their seriousness of pur-
pose: in this way. The “money that .
would ordinarily be spe for meals
will be turned over to the United,

s Peace Committee to be used in
the carrying out of the programs of
the organizations backing the strike.

A folder, put out by the United
Student. Peace Committee, in prepara-
tion for the strike, urges five points
to ‘be stressed by students’ during -
April: (1)demand-that colleges and
universities be demilitarized; (2) op-
pose the million dollar war budget;
(3) recognize. the val dity of the Ox-
ford | Pledge in the it of the Amer-

RELIGION . IS STIMULUS

_———______



Common Room, March 11.—Inter-
est in African primitive sculpture has
developed only very: recently-and_ will
probably remain only temporary be-
cause of the perishable quality of the
wooden sculpture. Miss Robbins and
Mr. Herben indicated, while illustrat-
ing with their own collection of fig-
ures, that only since 1905 have stu-
déhts really begun to be interested in
the little pieces of wood that were
found in the equatorial region of
Africa, a large belt stretching from
the Ivory Coast to the Congo River.

The stimiilus for the development
of this primitive art was religious;
ancestor -worship, fertility .cu and
the need for ritualistic ve
not, however, necessary to know thé
religion in order*to appreciate. the
African art. In fact, we have a great
advantage in being able to approach
it without associations, with complete
detachment.

Viewed in this light, the sculpture
shows a definite feeling for design. as
such.. The figure is looked upon as
a whole, an artistic pattern instead
of an anatomically correct thing.
There is, however, interest in mass
and surface. There seems to be an

feel of the smoot

Primitivé art in general, whether
among the Africans or among. the
American Indians, is simple and _ in-
stinctive. The African sculpture has
had many outside influences, from
Asia, Arabia and a great deal from
European travelers and missionaries,
soldiers and traders. Because of the
influx of traders and missionaries, the
art was not aesthetically appreciated
for a long time. Traders thought the
statues valueless because they were
made of wood instead of bronze or
gold, but when they began to see the
demand. for them they quickly mada)
forgeries which have been in exist-
ence ever since. The missionaries, on
the other hand, were probably only too
glad to have them: destroyed. So the
supply of: African, sculpture is small,
rarely genuine and very perishable.



It doesn’t hurt—and it should help—
to give local-business people your
patronage.

Speaker at Sunday Chapel
Will be Mrs. Harper Sibley



Is Religious Leader; Investigator of |

Missions in Far East



(Especially éontributed by Jean
M. Cluett.)

Sunday, March 21, we are to have
the privilege of hearing Mrs. Harper

Sibley, -wifeof- the president.of the |

Chamber of Commerce of the United
States. She-will speak in chapel: in
“the Music Room.

Mrs. Sibley has for years taken a
very active and proniinent part in the
religious life of the country and is
known throughout the nation as head
of many church, missionary, and other
religious organizations. While Mr.
‘Sibley was big-game hunting in
Af¥ica, Mrs.. Sibley visited the Holy
Land as a delegate to the Interna-
tional Religious Conference. In 1932,
following five’ years of research by a
commission sent by John D. Rockefel-
ler to. the. Far East to investigate
missions, she was chosen to be a mem-
ber of the Layman’s Inquiry. This
committee followed up the previous
investigation and was sent to India,
China and Japan to make a final re-
port on the progress of missionary
work in those countries. '

Each member of+the inquiry had
some particular field -to ,look into,
such as commerce, education, and so

“forth, Mrs. Sibley’s being Women.

Some of us remember the fascinating
talk she gave here.four years ago
on the condition of women in India.
The group was in Shanghai when it
was bombed by the Japanese in that
year. Mrs. Sibley was president. of
the National Council of Church
Women and is Chairman of the Mobi-

- lization for Human Needs, an ergani-
“zation of which Mrs. Franklin Roose-

velt is président. It has charge of the’
Community Chests throughout the
country. This winter Mrs. Sibley has
spent much of the time as a member
of a large group of men and women
who have traveled all over the country
speaking at churches and other Chris-
tian institutions.

In fact, Mr. and Mrs. Sibley: are so
busy with speaking engagements that
they are never home, and over the
mantelpiece in their house is a pic-
ture of two railroad trains rushing
in_ opposite directions with an inscrip-
tion beneath reading: “God-Bless Our
Home.”- Mrs. Sibley has attended the
annual Northfield - Conference for
girls’ schools at Northfield, Massachu-
setts for ten years and holds a class

tionships, marriage, and home-mak-

views on integration. He says that
the general effect, so far as the
natural were concerned, was to show the simi-
larity. of. their problems and their
methods of attack. The disagree-
ments in the discussions brought this
out all the more-clearly. As a whole
he thinks the series was distinctly suc-
cessful—he is not sure about the wis-
dom ‘of a future series bebause he
thinks that some of its value lies in
Vits spontaneity.

The Department of Archaeology,
represented by Mr. Miiller, takes still
another stand. Mr. Miiller says that
the lectures were good from the point
of view. of the “psychologists and
anthropologists, but might be supple-
menteg\from that of the historians.
He: disagrees with one of Miss -Du-
bois’ points and says that there is
evidence of both psychic and mental
evolution since the beginnings of man.

implements used by men 30,000 years
ago—show us that early, man’s mental
capacities were lower than ours. _ One
can see that it takes more intelligence
to. build a modern machine than to
chip away a crude stone axe-head.
Mr. Miiller agrees with Mr. Weiss, in
thinking that there are wide differ-
ences between man and the animal,
and in his opinion the nature of man
can be discovered by emphasizing these
differences.

Mr. Wells, of the Politics Depart-
ment, considers the lecture series to
have been well done and to have ac-
complished what it set out to do, and
like Miss Fairchild, sees-in it an
argument for the correlation of de-
partments. The problem is not to
have the series too long, but something
might*have been said about man from
a biological or physiological point of
view, about his life-span, the exten-
sion of his average age, or about the
frontiers of medical research. Then,
too, some one like Rufus Jones might
have been included who spoke from
the religious and theological stand-
point. He thinks that, whereas the
possibility of integration was less in
this series because of having an out-
side speaker, it would: be greater in
a new series. It might perhaps be pre-

Senate Warnings Not
Based on Rigid System

Needs of Individual Stressed by |”
Dean Manning at Chapel.





Music Room, March 11.—Warnings
sent by_the Senate, Dean Manning ex-
plained in chapel, inform the student
whose work has been unsatisfactory
what is expected of her in the fol-
lowing: pemester or the next year.
Despite their precise phrasing, warn-
ings are not based on-any automatic
or. strictly arithmetical: system. ° On
the other ‘hand, progress and effort
on the student’s part influence the
Senate ;decision, which is as pliable
in each individual case .as possible.

This is especially..true of the in-
creasing stress laid on each semes-
ter’s work during the first two years.
After the fourth semester, however,
if the student still has difficulty with
her work, the college may feel she
will be better adapted elsewhere.

The only automatic feature of Sen-
ate policy is that a grade of 70 or
above is required in half of the work
up to the junior year. Each subject
in the major field must .also receive
a minimum of 70. Where lapses oc-
cur’ in one course, distinctly . good
work in another, also in the major
field, may be allowed to balance the
lack. oak:

Gymnasium, March 10.—The Bea-
ver varsity basketball team, playing
in excellent form, trimmed Bryn
Mawr, 38-16.\-The Beaver second
team also handed the Bryn Mawr sec-
onds their first defeat of the season
_ with a score of 29-10.

’ The Bryn, Mawr players “were. dis-
tinctly off their: game, for their per-
“formance never equalled that of last
Saturday’s match with Moravian. But
in any case they would have had_lit-+
' tle chance to-win. The Beaver team
showed faultless team “work and gen-

eral handling of the ball. . Their for-|°

wards were dead" shots. consistently

netting baskets from any angle. Our
system of zone guarding did not

bother them, When the guards hung |

back. they took unguarded shots from
the middle of the floor, and when the
defense came out to cover them they
worked: in closer to the basket; pass-
ing among themselves with . perfect
timing and confusing change of -pace.
Their team had the two things Bryn
Mawr needs most:
shooting ability...
Beaver early took the lead from the
second team and kept. it. throughout
the game. Their guards stuck so
closely that the Bryn Mawr forwards
could not get free for passes or to
shoot. Bryn Mawr shifted its line-up

“| several times, but-no combination suc-

ceeded in keeping the Beaver’ team
from running up a high score.

: An independent survey ‘was made recently
among professional men and women-—lawyers,
doctors, lecturers; scientists, etc. Of those who
said they smoke cigarettes, more than 87% stated
they personally prefer a light smoke. .

Miss Keeler verifies the wisdom of this pref-
‘erence, and so do other leading artists of the.
radio, stage, screen and opera. Their voices are
their fortunes. That’s why so many of them
smoke Luckies. You, too, can have the throat pro-

“to maiiufacture news of a personal
' nature which would be contrary to

--~Bryn- Mawr--traditions, “Tf “a press

board were instituted the Council be-
lieves that the beginnings should be

very small and-strictly experimental.;

The tradition should be begun with
the first board ‘of avoiding personal
padded ‘news and: retaining the pres-
ent standards of dignified publicity
which has won the college praise.
Emergency news should be handled as
it is at Mount Holyoke by the pub-
licity director. Because of the many
difficulties involved, the uncertainty
of student interest in a press club,
andthe coming of a new publicity di-
rector in the autumn, the matter was
set aside for a year.

Referring to the expansion plans
of the college, Miss Park pointed: out
that the added $100 fee will not take
effect until after all students in col-
lege today have graduated. Should
any unforeseen gift come in the meah-
time it might not prove necessary at
all.

There has been no final decision yet
on a site for the residence hall or
building, but the style of the building
will probably be simple tudor of grey
stone. Ely paddock is eminently suit-
‘able for the group of small buildings
which the college hopes will include
workshops and squash courts. These
could be-ranged areund the edge, pre-
senting a low wall to the street, and
providing space in» the center for].
needed tennis courts. Miss Park
hopes ‘that eventually several students
‘ean be removed from each of the
present dormitories so that the latter

would have more adequate public
rooms.

At the present time with the new

final examinations the entire ques-

tion of honor averages, the cum laude,
magna cum laude, etc., lists has arisen
Miss Park pointed out that
Bryn Mawr shunned Phi Beta Kappa
because the original feeling was that
a Bryn Mawr degree should stand by
itself. There have,weeen frequent
opinions that it was unfair to count
the freshman work into the general
average, and today the same has been
-aid of senior work since it is of en-
tirely different character. Retiring
council members were requested’.to
discuss the matter with their succes-
sors, who should come with their
opinions to the next meeting.
Mrs.Manning reported thatthe
present method of sending out. grades
will be continued another year, and
that the plan used this year for ex-
empting seniors from all midyear
examinations except in required
courses will be tried. again to give it
a fair test. There are no definite ar-
rangements for a reading period just
before the final examinations, but
individual departments may exempt
their majors from the last Week.
