BRYN MAWR DECIDES TO ADOPT CO-EDUCATION
Revolutionary Decision Lauded by Students
As Faculty Body Votes for Variety in Class
McBride, Grant Favor Move;
Forget May Day Quandry
In Enthusiasm
“Bryn Mawr has decided to
cast off its outworn and discred-
ited traditions,” declared Dean
Christina) Ward, as. she an-
nounced that Bryn Mawr will
admit men next year. At a spe-
cial college assembly Mrs. Grant
announced the revolutionary de-
cision of the administration.
“It is not only the exigencies
of the war which induced us to
make this momentous change of
policy,” she said. “With all due
respect to the founders of this
institution, we feel that it would
be far, far better for all con-
cerned if the opposite sex could
feel free to enter these walls,”
Miss McBride explained. Her
announcement was greeted by
hysterical applause from — the
ninth row in Goodhart.
Describing the long years of
research that preceded the ad-
ministration’s sudden flip-flop,
she (take your pick) said that
numerous observations of the
classroom behavior of students |}
in the classrooms of all kinds
of places have convinced them}
that they are right. It is a rather
intangible thing, . she asserted,

but it is there nevertheless.
Asked to elaborate on this mat-
ter in the discussion which fol-
lowed, Dean Grant discovered
that she had an important ap-
pointment.
The men will be drawn from
all over, she said. “Perhaps that
should be amended to wherever
they can be found,” she added.
Since we assume that most of
them will be 4-F’s or the equiva-
lent, gym will not be required.
The Undergraduate Association
is calling a meeting to discuss the
roll of men in May Day.
“Housing will. be a_ ticklish
problem,” said Miss Howe. “The

Morons Are Choosy
Mumbles A..S. Beruzy
Continued from Column Two
Philosophy reached its climax with
the progress of the stunted brain
in history, summed up Mr. A. U. S.
Beruzy, Esq., in front of his sparse
audience last Thursday night.
“Philosophy has run a circuitous
course,” he coughed, “but has final-
ly come home to roost.” This theory
is lucid enough, he pointed; ‘no
really” beautiful conjunction is
ever enduring. Stupidity is un-
avoidable both here and in the
home.
“Philosophy has run a circuitous
course,” roared Mr. A. U. S. Beru-
zy, Esq., as the bridge players in
the front row reached grand slam.
There can be no harmony here, he
stressed, without the helping hands
of little morons. . Heterogeneous
absorption is conclusion. “But defi-
nitely,” he murmured .... “but defi-
nitely.” “Philosophy has run...
and run,” he concluded, “‘its wittle
wegs are tired.”
Philosophy is dynamic, he re-
sumed half an hour later, but it
‘leaves the moron cold. Taking off
his coat he continued to explain the
mucky role of history. “I shall get
this off my chest right now,” Mr.
A. U. S. Beruzy stated hotly.
Eighteen students who objected to
the metaphor marched out of the
hall in a body.

® It looks just like it always did—that Grey-
hound you see loading up at the terminal in
your town—but it’s bound on a “military
mission”, just as surely as if it were rolling in
a convoy down a mountain road in Tunisia.
Tools of war have to be built before battles
are won—and workers have to be transported
to the war plants that are supplying our
growing armies. That’s a big part of Grey-
hound’s wartime duties — getting workers to
work, often many miles from their homes.
Then, there are soldiers to carry to and from
training camps or other military centers—on
duty and on leave. And there are many others
whose travel is essential to full war effort.
If on some occasion Greyhound service isn’t
quite as convenient or comfortable as in the
past, please remember that the war effort
comes first—that the job of whipping the Axis
has to be done at home as well as abroad. With
Victory. will come finer service than ever.
