MISS McBRIDE INAUGURATED AS PRESIDENT

Speakers § Stress
Place of College



In. World at War.



President McBride Lauded|
By Miss Comstock and



Aydelotte |
The responsibility of colleges
in war time to enter into the

war effort and yet maintain aca-
demic ideals and standards
stressed by the speakers at. the
inauguration of President Mc-
Bride. Miss McBride discussed the
plan of education at Bryn Mawr;:
stressing its value for the needs
of the present time. Miss Com-
stock spoke about her experi-
ences and relations with.Miss Me-
Bride when the latter was Dean
of Radcliffe. The place of the
college in relation to the affaifs
of the rest of the world was dis-
cussed by Dr. Aydelotte.

Miss McBride

Miss McBride discussed the aims
of Bryn Mawr during the war.
Colleges in the last ten months
have been, like industry, geared to
meet the needs of the time. This
change is necessary, but Miss Mc-
Bride emphasized the fact that is
is equally necessary to train stu-
dents for the more complex task
of envisioning and defining our
purposes in the disorganization of
the post-war world. “Such work
is a part of our educational of-
fensive, and perhaps the most dif-
ficult part.”

The understanding needed for
this cannot be built up through any
six or twelve-weeks’ course. Miss
McBride asked the question: “Can
we strike the nice balance which
will give us this training without
reducing too much our immediate
effort? The only point of such a
question is to put the problem. It
has one answer, that we must.”

Bryn Mawr has always been ac-

tive in the selection of its students,

Maids Begin Classes
Taught by Students



The Maids’ and Porters’ Classes,
organized and taught by the Bryn
Mawr undergraduates, will begin
next week. A varied group of
courses will be offered in after-
noon and evening classes, which
will meet two or three times a
week, Besides several new courses,
the Maids’ and Porters’ Commit-
tee offers this year Achievement
Tests at the end of each course,
the nearest thing to real credit
that the voluntary student teach-
ers can give.

A new idea, the Achievement
Tests attempt to maintain a gen-
eral high school standard in Eng-
lish, French, and Spanish.

Other courses cover a variety
of fields: Current Events and
Speech Training, Negro History,
German, Typing, Shorthand, Sew-
ing, Piano Lessons, Music Appre-
ciation, Folk Dancing, and Sculp-
ture. It has been necessary to
drop a few courses such as Hy-
giene, which overlaps with the ma-
terial offered in the Defense
Courses. Skills such as mimeo-
graphing, knitting, and the use of
the addressograph are to be taught.
In addition, there will be private
tutoring’ in the basic principles of
reading, writing, and arithmetic.

Miss Skinner to Give
Costumes to College



Cornelia Otis Skinner and Ro-
land Young will be the guests of
honor in the Theatre Workshop
Saturday, October 31, when Miss
Skinner will present costumes-from
the collection of Otis Skinner.
Miss Skinner and Mr. Young will
speak on the plays, actors and an-
ecdotes with which these costumes
were associated. Some of them
were used by Howard Pyle for
his paintings of Robin Hood and
King Arthur. One was worn by
Mojeski, and another by Laura
Hope Crews.

Several pieces from the ,collec-
tion have already been donated by
Miss Skinner to Harvard Univer-
sity, but the best costumes and
accessories are being presented to
Bryn Mawr College and the Bald-
win School.

Miss Skinner’s latest book, “Our
Hearts Were Young and Gay,” was
written in collaboration with Emily
Kinburigh,-and—is-now running in
the Cosmopolitan. It has been
chosen as the Book of the Month
for December.



Lantern Night

During the Lantern Night
ceremony, members of the
i- audience are to use the main
door, and not the two side
doors, which will be locked.
This does not apply to Fresh-
men and Sophomores.









Faithful Alumnae, Patriotic As Ever, Return
Over Mid-Week to Confuse Undergraduates



By Agne Denny, °43
Relieving preésure on railroads,
faithful’alumnae changed their re-
the mid-week, October
and included the induc-

union to
28 and 29,
t'on ceremonies in their program.
Prominent among the returning
throng was 1925, Miss McBride’s

class. The usual amazement at
the new plumbing and the free
life of “this generation of stu-

dents,’ was pushed into the back-
ezround by the excitement over the
ceremonies.

The alumnae have developed a
motherly attitude toward the pres-
ent undergraduates, as though this
new college were an offspring of
an older, sterner variety. ‘Spoon
fed, that’s what you are,” said a
member of the class of ’33, “taking
orals freshman year—no college
boards!” Others merely confused
the present students by bursting
into their rooms and. claiming,
“This is my room. We had the
desk over there where the light
comes in and we didn’t hang our
laundry in the study.” Evidently
not all the alumnae felt that we
were disintegrating. One kindly
lady of Bryn Mawr’s youth con-
lfided that she found “a spirit of
starry-eyed earnestness” that was
missing for many years.

The class of ’42 was much in
demand among the Seniors. “Is it
true that you can’t get laundry
done in Washington, and that it







takes three-quarters of an hour to
go one block on a trolley?” was
fired at them from all sides. Jerry
Catron, ’42, advised the Seniors to
prepare themselves to be greeted
as returning alumnae by nothing
but “Hello, what are you doing?”

Despite incessant questioning,
the alumnae were glad to come
back and marvel over the renewed
singing spirit, or shake their heads
at sophisticated freshmen. All
were anxious to meet the new ad-
ministration, and all fell on former
classmates to talk over old times.



Play-School Course

Martha E. Prendergast,
Associate Director of the
Philadelphia Council of Girl
Scouts, will conduct three
sessions on “Occupational
Skills and Play for Children
of School Age.” These are
being presented by the Ca-
rola. Woerishoffer Depart-
ment of Sociology, in coop-
eration with the Alliance and
the Bryn Mawr League.
Singing, Games, Dancing,
and Simple Crafts will be
discussed. The first session
will be held November 2,
from 4.30 to 6.30, on the
stage in Goodhart Hall. All
interested students and vol-
unteers are cordially invited.

Mrs. Collins Speaks
To U.S.O. Volunteers

Common Room, October
Speaking to students volunteering
for U. S. O. work, Mrs. Chadwick-
Collins stressed the importance of
U. S. O. headquarters in keeping
:up morale. “You are participat-
ing in the War effort to give, and
not to get.”

Ann Byrd Woods, chairman of
U. S. O. work, read the advice and
rules for all girls attending these
dances. ‘Remember always that
you come to parties at the club
not primarily to have a good time
yourself, but to givé a good time
to the men.

“You girls are the hostesses,
the men your guests. See to it
that every one of them has a. pleas-
ant time while he is at the club.
The man who is the best looking,

often is not the man who ‘needs

Common Room, October 27.—Dr.
| Wells refused to predict anything
| about the election a week from
| today, but gave evidence indicating
ja “mid-term swing back” in favor
‘of the Republicans. He contrasted
' this coming election to that of 1940.

| Jor issues, and the Administration

‘for all failures and dissatisfac-
| tions,

| This election is of vital. impor-
‘tance, Dr. Wells pointed out. We
‘cannot, like England, cancel all
| war-time party activity. Our elec-
| tions are set down on a ‘“‘time ta-
'ble” in the Constitution. This is
‘our chance to elect an efficient Con-
‘gress that will carry out our war
| aims.

| Next week’s elections will be for
'a third of the Senate, as well as
| for one-half of the State Legisla-
iture. Dr. Wells named as people

Apple Pickers, Corn Huskers

To the Editor of the College News:

About eight miles. from Bryn
Mawr lie large fertile farms that
provide the community with eggs,
milk, vegetables and fruit. On
these farms new.—are —acre..upon
acre of corn that must be husked
wheat can be
sown, and fodder for the cattle be
stored for the meager months
ahead. On these farms are apple
orchards laden with fine fruit that
will soon- rot if it is not picked.

problems, said Dr. Frank Ayde-
lotte, speaking at the induction
ceremonies of President McBride.

It is not fashionable, Dr. Ay-
delotte asserted, to discuss post-
war problems in this country. “We
are told that if we are to have a
rabbit stew, we must first catch
the rabbit.” The rabbit stew phi-
losophy presupposes that when we
have caught the rabbit we will
know what to do with him.

More than 100 second to sixth
graders swarmed into the Bryn
Mawr grade school’s gym Tuesday
afternoon at the opening of the
Play Ceriter. Introductions were
made, and the ensuing name quiz
was enlightening. Mary Rambo
was remembered as “Miss Rain-
bow.” “Mrs.,” though appropriate

to many current Bryn Mawrters,
was attached to a few startled
maidens.

followed by an “earn the apple”

was a stickler. But the solution
to “something breakable” was
quickly discovered by one enter-
prising youth who dove over the
hedge and rose triumphant with a
beer bottle.

Apples were well earned, and the
shouting youngsters chose which
group they would join: story tell-
ing, charades, outdoor games, or
painting. Some, impartial, tried
all groups. a.
. Story tellers were assigned the
sewing room. The machines pro-



vided diversion when the tale of
“The Peasant and the Imp” be-
came boring.
Outdoor games were even more
iof-a problem. Satisfied with noth-
ing but football, 35 little boys all
clamored to.be captain. Teams
were’ finally chosen, and a wild
scramble ensued. Everything was
solved by a heaven-sént seventh
grader who offered his assistance
as referee.

tained, is the time for us to for-
mulate our ideals. It is the schol-
ar’s task to set the layman on the’
right road in a wide variety of
fields.

Dr. Aydelotte said that he was
happy to say “that in a large num-
ber of American colleges and uni-
versities, groups exist for the dis-
cussion of important problems.

other single source, we must de-
pend for the enlightenment of the
American people on these great

Again and again from the Fet-
terhorn Farms: “Can’t you pos-
sibly send us a group to pick ap-
ples? They must be picked, now.”

From Miss Austin’s farmer:
“We have three large fields of corn
still unhusked. It will soon be too
late to plant the winter wheat.
Can you possibly send us 21 stu-
dents today?”

We are. doing our level best, as
is the Baldwin School, with whom
we are collaborating. These large
farms are much more in need of
help than the small farmer who
gears his crops to a size which he
can take care of himself. Not so
the large farm, which depends on
numbers of hired help. On these
places Bryn Mawr and Baldwin
students are the only workers to
take the places of men who have
been drafted. You are vitally
needed—so come and do your bit
now!

Give War Calls
the Right of Way!







ELEPHONE lines are crowded with
sea many of them are vi-
tally important to the armed forces, the
government and war industries.

To give war calls a clear track and
full speed ahead, adopt these telephone

tactics for the duration:
1. Don’t make any unnecessary calls.
2. Keep all calls as brief as you can.

3. If you must use Long Distance,
make your calls on Sunday, if possible
—or after 9 P. M. at night.
