Plan Cooperation
For Art Courses
Haverford, B. M. Appo‘nt
Bernheimer Associate
Professor
The announcement that all work
in History of Art for both Haver-
ford and Bryn Mawr will now be
done at Bryn Mawr has just been
made to the Board of Directors by
Miss Park. This plan is the most
definitive step which has yet been
taken in the direction toward three-
college cooperation. As the first
joint faculty .appointment, Mr.
Bernheimer has been named Asso-
ciate Professor of Art by both
Haverford and Bryn Mawr.
Since up to now Mr. Bernheimer
has been doing part-time work at
both Haverford and Bryn Mawr,
the new cooperative arrangement,
besides avoiding duplication of his
effort, will enable him to teach an-
other course at Bryn Mawr. This
new course, replacing Italian Art
as the first year course of the de-
partment, will be a general intro-
duction to the study of the history
of art. It will not, as Mr. Sloane
emphasized, be a survey or an out-
line, but will try to provide the
“fundamentals of any art-histori-
cal knowledge” and a “frame-work
for western artistic movements—
the qualities of the major epochs
and the transitions which connect
them.” Mr. Sloane will assist in
the course, and guest lecturers will
be called in from outside.
By this plan Haverford adds an-
other department to its fields of
study, for a major in fine arts has
not been available there before.
Swarthmore also enters into the
new arrangement. The replanning

Changes Considered
As Miss Park Gives
Supper for Seniors
A supper for the seniors in hon-
or of Miss McBride was given by
Miss...Park on Wednesday, March
18. Although a supper in the late
spring has been customary, this
will take the place of the com-
mencement ‘party for ‘the seniors
this year.
The meal,was served informally
at small tables in the Deanery. Af-
ter dinner Miss Park spoke briefly
to the seniors. She pointed-out
that they would be Miss McBride’s
first alumnae and emphasized her
hope that they would continue to
take an interest in the college.
Following the speech, Miss Mc-
Bride...and_ the seniors discussed
questions concerning the college.
Miss McBride led an articulate
discussion concerning changes the
seniors would like to see in the
college when they returned as
alumnae. Many subjects were in-
troduced and debated. Greater em-
phasis on the social sciences and
less on the classics was demanded.
Suggestions were made for avoid-
ance- of monotony in the lecturing
system. An ‘argument was brought
forward for group requirements
rather than a blanket college one.
The field of advanced work and!
whether the opportunity for such
individualstudy should be made
~-qyailable to a larger proportion of
the college was also debated, as
well as changes in the cut system,
the possibility of a cooperative
house and the problem of the non-
resident students.

Esséntial Functions
of Languages and Art
Told by Dr, Casstrer
Music Room, March 23.—‘‘The
essential function of language and
art cannot be interpreted as long
as we think of them as mere rep-
reseritations of concepts,” said Dr.
Ernst Cassirer, professor of phil-;
osophy at Yale University. In his
lecture, Language and Art, spon-
sored by the Philosophy Club, he
emphasized the distinction which
must be made between language
and art as modes of expression|
They are similar, he said, in that |
they both reveal realities. They
are both essential guides to man
in the world of concepts, but their
primary functions must be differ-
entiated.
Language, Dr. Cassirer said, has
two uses: one, emotional and
‘ejaculatory, expressing man’s first
reaction to the objective world;
the other, propositional, practical
in helping to solidify man’s ac-
quaintance with and concept of ob-
jects and in making definite the
physical world.
It is the second of :these func-
tions which we can never assume,
and based on this fact is Dr.
Uassirer’s objection to the group-
ing together of art and language
as similar modes of expression. ;
Art-—necessarily—involves~-emo-=
tion. It does not serve to give
definition to the concept of an ob-
ject as language does, but it is
suitable gr the expression of an
object about which the artist feels
emotionally.
Poetry is an unique art, in that
it uses language and retains con-
ceptual meaning, but at the same
times gives words primarily emo-
tional connotations.
Combined Production
Of ‘Elijah’ is Success:
Specially Contributed by
Harriet Case, ’43
The presentation by the com-
bined choruses of Haverford and
Bryn Mawr of excerpts from Men-
delssohn’s Oratorio, Elijah, was
noteworthy because of its demands
not only on the chorus but also
upon soloists and orchestra. This
undey—Mr. Willoughby’s direction,
proved themselves capable of meet-
ing all three requirements with
little outside assistance. The solo-
ists, all students except for Mr.
Trump of the Haverford School,
showed an amazing eommand of
the music whilé the orchestra, com-
posed mainly of musicians from the
two colleges and Lower Merion
plus only a few professional play-
ers; demonstrated its ability to
handle an exacting accompaniment.
Opening the program with a
recitative,. Richard. Bauer revealed ||
power and control. Both Mr.
Trump’s and Mr. Bauer’s interpre-
tations were expressive and showed
understanding of the music. The
air, “O Rest in the Lord,’ sung
by Nancy Sapp, was rich and melo-
dious; :the: warmth of her tones
seemed peculiarly adapted to the
tranquil mood of the piece. The
-accompaniment> here,” as through-
out; provided a restrained but sub-
stantial background. Mary Ram-
bo’s nervousness prevented preci-
sion in her solo but in the duet, sus-
tained by Margot Dethier’s assured
tones, her notes were clear and
true.”
these two voices made the duet one
of the most charming of the selec-
tions. The trio in the second half
of the program was disappointing,
however. The girls’ voices seemed

1918 she studied at the Sorbonne.
In 1925 she received her A.B. from
Barnard. Her major was Latin,
but her primary interest was_his-
tory. Mrs. Grant obtained the only
fellowship that Barnard had at the

The dean of a college is a direct link between the administra-
tion which regulates it and the students which compose it. She
works with both. Since she supervises the academic and social
activities, she must be a scholar as well as a sympathetic advisor ;
since she coordinates them, she must be an executive. The ap-
pointment of a dean is of vital importance to the students, who
Mrs. Grant fulfills all the demands which her office will make

Cuts — Limited?
To the increasing discussion of the monitor system we add
our own proposal: a proposal for unlimited cuts, in all courses,
required or unrequired, first-year or advanced.
Such a program would mean that the responsibility of class
attendance would rest entirely with the individual student. It
would depend upon her relation to and her interest in her work;
it would be indefinite as to strict rules and penalties, but we believe
that these would impose themselves in the results achieved in the
work. .
It would actually attain more definite results than does the
present monitor system of checking, supposedly accurately, on class
attendance. There are now students on campus who “get away”
with as many as thirty cuts a semester becavise of inefficient moni-
toring. Others are penalized for cuts which they never took. The
obvious evil in the system is lack of precision in its operation. The
temptation, unavoidable and seldom withstood, is for students to
take as many cuts as they think they can get away with, hoping
that the monitor will not éatch them.
More in keeping with student responsibility and with advanced
academic work is'a system which will establish a more personal
mean that meeting the requirements of courses would be her own
concern—and heft only concern. Comprehension of material would
be the important factor involved. For the professor it would mean
that attendance signified interest, that listening was spontaneous
and Voluntary.
The system’ of- unlimited cuts is successfully used in other
‘colleges. It should be obvious that there would be no.unnecessary
“cutting by ‘students ‘who “were “taking” the* course seriously or in-

“Tar attendance is essential; and if the courses arouse interest; as}
~~they should, cutting will be at a minimum. Proof of this is in the
fact that few freshmen at Bryn Mawr, accustomed to regular
_attendance at school, use their cuts, and that in colteges where
there are unlimited.cuts fewer are generally taken than at Bryn
Mawr, where the temptation to take at’ least the allowed number)
_is gtrong.

To the. Editér of THE COLLEGE
NEWS:
I would like to thank the editor
student with the responsibilities of achieving a greater integration
| of individual comprehension ofa certain subject with the routine
matter of class hours. In most colleges where unlimited cut sys-
‘tems operate, the faculty set their own regulations for cuts—usually
‘only in the form of warnings to individual students- whose ever-
cutting endangers their academic standing. Unlimited cuts mean
‘first that a professor must recognize that course requirements and
wwe atural basis for-coming.to.class..For. the student it would understanding of-material are not determined by the number of
‘hours of lecture sat through, but rather by a wholly individual
‘relation of a single student to her work. That relation cannot be
‘enhanced or stimulated by a system of class attendance that takes”
‘the responsibility out of the hands of the student herself, even if
it were administered with complete accuracy. 2
| Conceivably, and we think-desirably, a. system of unlimited
‘cuts would bring the student relationship a little more in the realm;
‘of personal choice, allowing the ‘professor the possible relief of
‘knowing that the students before him are there, not from fear of
-over-cutting;-butepecause- the-course-itself, the interest and .excite-
ment it provides, the spontaneous work it engenders, are related to
something more than avoiding penalties. As for the student,
learning, understanding, growth of ‘ideas, we believe, have no rela-
tion to compulsory and mechanical actions. They are individual
problems,~to be~-dealt--with by each student, making her own
choices, knowing that the consequences and the responsibility rest
with her.

Now my dear beloved neighbor,

for. printing Marianna Schweit-
zer’s very consistent, and clear an-
alysis of the implications of war
for every member of a society
which is involved in a war.
It is a war for peace; the mean-
ing of war is to be found only in
the resultant state of affairs and
relations which we hope to make
possible by force. In Nazi Ger-
many there is a necessary connec-
tion between the war now being
fought and the New Order which
is to follow. By the same token, it
is neither inconsistency nor escap-
ism, on our part, to consider, here
and now, the specific nature of the
future world for which we are
fighting. We are all, by reason of
living in this society, responsible
for and involved in the peace that
will follow. ;
The Reconstruction Course lec-
tures, and particularly the two lec-
tures allotted to Herthe Kraus,
were essentially an acceptance of
this responsibility. Miss Kraus‘
analysed clearly the meaning, in
terms of social conditions, of post-
war chaos. -Against this back-
ground Miss Kraus related the dif-
ferent phases of reconstruction
work. Any activity, ay contact
was shown, not as an end in itself,
but as a means of securing that
way of life for which we are fight-
ing. It may cost the equivalent of
half a dozen battleships; the cost
will be many times repaid.
It was an inspiring paradox that
Miss Kraus should center for me
the source of motivation, whether
in war or in ee ee con-
viction of the humanity of democ-
racy, and its resultant adequacy
for all minds and all-situations. In
doing this, and in stressing, again
and again, sympathy, common
sense and restraint in making de-.
mocracy the reality of the post-war
world. Miss Kraus crystallized the
ethical imperative which rests. on
every member of the American
se: peers:
For. these reasons, the ideas
which Herthe Kraus presented are
central and fundamental to any ~
democratic thinking today. That
Bryn Mawr fails to appreciate this
was shown by the appallingly small
audience. To all appearances we
are, in effect, “careful and troubled
about many things” while oblivious
to the “one thing that is needful.”

her. She will work in cooperation |
with Miss Dorothy Nepper, instruc-|
tor in Spanish, who will continue}
in charge of Radnor Hall. |
As the new Director of Admis- |
sions Miss Ward’s main interests |
lie in the recently changed en- |
trance regulations. Her work in |
advising the Freshmen will be,
merely a continuation of what she |
has been doing until now, but her |
new position will grant her a freer |
scope. |
The problem of admissions, Miss}
Ward says, present more ramifica- |
tions these days as there are more |
students, parents, teachers and|
alumnae to be interviewed. But,
although the plans for 1943 are|
not yet complete, the elimination of |
college boards has already brought |
about a major change in the ad- |
missions system. |
Asked about the values of a|
reading period such as has been |
discussed by the curriculum com- |
mittee, Miss Ward says that it |
would apply equally well, to Fresh- |
men. The difficulty with a read-!
ing period is that it would require |
a lengthened year. As regards’
summer school plans, “It would be
impossible to decide whether to add
the time at the beginning or the
end of the college year since the
summer schools open and close on
different dates.”

Grant also has had experience in
advising students about their aca-
demic programs, formally insofar
as she is connected with the His-
tory Department, and informally
where students have come to know
her personally.
She is not’ sure when she will
come to Bryn Mawr, although she
is anxious to see it again. ‘At pres-
ent she is collaborating on a book
on international affairs. The dead-
line is May 1, and she hopes to
visit the college some time there-
after.
After our conversation I wan-
dered over to a drug store on 116th
Street, where I met some affable
Barnard girls. Their comments
confirmed all reports of Mrs. Grant.
We were lucky-to get her. Doris
Beyer, president of the Barnard
Honor Board, expressed the..gen-
eral opinion when she said, “Mrs.
Grant is charming; she lets the
students be autonomous, but she
can take a very firm stand if it is
necessary.”

Saga of Fish Family
Give Aquacade Color
By Anne Denny, ’43
Saturday, March 21.—The three
Little Fishes and Greta Garbo
starred in. this year’s aquacade.
Silly costumes and amusing dia-
logue enlivened the show. High
points were the diving—from gain-
ers to “fanny smackers”—and the
precise tandem swimming by Pat
St. Lawrence, ’44, and Frannie
Brown, ’44.
“Mama Fishie” introduced the
“Gay Nineties” group starring
Chelly Chester, Margie Magrath,
and Kitty McClellan who flopped
into the water and did an ancient
version of the breast-stroke. Vari-
ous scenes worked into the plot as
the three fishes went off to see the
world. Qne swam to Vienna in a
flied” down the pool to follow the
circus; while the third gave his
mother a fishy kiss and went off to
Slithering green suits and dim
lights made the waltz group an ef-
fective scene, in spite of the lack
of precision. The unevenness of
the circus group was redeemed by
the clowns. ‘‘Greta Garbo,” swim-
ming against the tide, drowned un-
gracefully at Coney Island and
sprouted wings on the second lap.
Funniest interlude was the diving
of Barbara Kissling, ’45, and Jer-
ry Wood, ’45: Jack-knives which
never straightened and swan dives |
which never relaxed gave variety |
to the fancy divers.
With a patriotic flourish, the
Navy group finished the show. An
uneven, but well-meant “V” for
victory made with lighted candles,
followed the watery marching, and
left the audience pleased, though
slightly damp.

H. S. Ede Lays Stress
On Individuality in
Renaissance Lecture |
Deanery, March 22.—‘The ar-
tist’s work is a window opening
onto the spirit,’ said Mr. H. E.
Ede in his lecture on the National
Gallery of Washington. In show- |
ing slides of some of the gaety # |
pictures, Mr. Ede pointed out* that
each Madonna is as different as |
each artist, and that therefore in
looking at the picture we are look-
ing at the artist himself,
This is especially true in Fra
Angelico’s Nativity. Despite the
religious subject, the painting is
plainly a personal expression.
Masaccio’s Madonna uses the same
symbols —~the same words would
describe the subject—but here also
the artist’s individual intensity. of
expression is clearly evident.
Individuality can also be seen in
the portraits of the Italian Renais-
sance. We are so bound by our
own prejudices, said Mr. Ede,
that a minute difference between a
man’s actual looks and his portrait
seems strange to us. But there is|
a sense of the particular man, a|
strong definition of character, in|
the collection’s Cosimo Turo and
Pollaiuolo portraits.
Before Rembrandt’s
trait visitors stand awed. “Why, |
there he is,” is the frequent excla-
mation. Goya’s portrait, Maria
Louise is-also popular..One of the
most successful portrait painters
that ever lived, Goya combines |
personality and subtle colors in his!
pictures to effect an harmonious,
living subject.

Smith Bill is not the length of the
working week but of time and a
half pay for extra hours. Eng-
land’s attempt to lengthen the work
week has demonstrated that effi-
riticize Congress
hours and that the efficient week
varies from industry to industry.
That an educational campaign is
necessary to reveal the situation on
the industrial front has been shown
by statements of the President and
Donald Nelson, which contradicted
widely circulated statistics ‘and as-
sertions.
The Congressional vote to con-
tinue the Dies Committee was cited
as an example of its stubborn at-
titude, since Congress was_ con-
fronted with clear evidence of the
committee’s complete failure to
serve the national interests and
its dubious methods of procedure.
Numerous Congressional commit-
tees, it was pointed out, are headed
by inadequate people. Senator
Reynolds, head of the Military
Affairs Committee, in particular,
has had affiliations with a native
fascist organization, the Silver
Shirts.
The discussion emphasized that
it is our responsibility to know our
Congressmen and their voting rec-
ords. The Alliance is planning a
campaign to arouse interest in
Congressional activity. The fac-
ulty, Miss Stapleton said, would be
glad to co-operate in such an effort.
She pointed out the crucial nature
of the primaries this spring and
Congressional elections next fall.
We should not only familiarize
ourselves with Congressional can-
didates but also work among polit-
ical groups now organized to pub-
licize the past and present political
activity of these men, particularly
with regard to the war effort.

Constitution of the Association.
These changes will be included in|

It is hoped that the Point System
especially will be less of a mystery,
and mean neither more nor less
than it should.
The heads of the Riding, Danc-
ing, Modern Dancing and Folk-'
Dancing have been added to the|
Council. The vice-president no}
longer has sole responsibility for |
the point records of every student.
She will be helped by. the Sopho-

their other duties. The vice-presi-

Eligibility~ for sports now reads
that “a student may compete in|
intercollegiate games for eight se-|
mesters” instead of for “four
years.” Under: the Varsity By-
Laws graduates are no longer eligi-
ble for varsity teams!
The most important change has
been the revision of the Point Sys-
tem... However, this will affect only
1945 and subsequent classes. Feel-
ing that the college blazer should
only be given for all-round ability,
regardless of the total number of
points earned, a qualification was
imposed: the recipient must be

—Bryn Mawr, playing hard and
fast badminton, won four out of
five matches from Rosemont. The
three single and two _ double
matches were played with diversi-
fied talent, each side showing
strength and ability in several de-
partments.
Mariana sifeie outstroked
the first singles
match, but thé latter showed her
agility by getting some almost “im-
possible shots.”
The first doubles match revealed
Latin, which position she now
holds. She has also served as Act-
ing Dean of the Graduate School,
in 1936-37 and 1940-41.

Did you used to envy the inhabi-
display first. Most favored is The
Life History of the Axolotl. Other
possibilities are the bird collection
—“one of the finest college collec-
tions in the United States’”—em-
brionie pigs, and skeletons.

We must rid ourselves completely
of the idea that after the war the
Anglo-Saxon powers will dominate
the international scene. We must
train ourselves to work smoothly
with the Soviet Union and China.
There are several favorable aspects
of this problem which should fa-
cilitate united action by the Allied
Powers. Both the USSR and

The Allies must consider
what they will do for each other. |
If the USSR is successful it will|
have the best right to talk about
the European Settlement at the)
Peace Conference. We must make
concessions and give up privileges
such as a tariff which if invoked!
after the war might completely
wreck the security just attained.
Party politics must not be al-
lowed to hamstring decisions of
the Peace Conference. Political
jleaders of.all parties should discuss
the basis on which they can work
together to enforce post-war deci-
sions and indeed war effort

OF A SECOND!
- It takes high-speed photography to
“stop” Dorothy Lewis’s flashing blades,
but it’s easy to see her preference for Camels
MISS LEWIS works
out all her routines
first in ballet slippers.
Many’s the Camel cig-
arette she smokes as
she relaxes. “Yes, I
smoke a good bit,”
Miss Lewis says. “I’ve. ;
found Camels milder
by far. And with their
full, rich flavor, Camels
always taste so good.”
DOROTHY LEWIS
studied ballet from the
age of 4, and her rou-
tines on the ice com-~ |
bine the artistry of the
dancer with the speed
of the skater. Her cig-
arette combines extra
mildness and flavor.
She smokes slower-
burning Camels.
FASTER than the blink of
any human eye, the amazing
stroboscopic camera catches
Dorothy Lewis in one of her
brilliant routines on the ice
of the Iridium Room in New
York’s Hotel St. Regis.

CAMELS HAVE
THE MILDNESS THAT
COUNTS WITH ME—
LESS NICOTINE
IN THE SMOKE
The more I smoke, the more I appreciate
Camels,” says Miss Lewis at a late supper with
friends at the St. Regis. “Their cool, rich flavor is
all the more enjoyable because Camels are so mild
— with less nicotine in the smoke.”’ You, yourself,
try Camels. You'll like everything about this
slower-burning cigarette of costlier tobaccos.
You'll like that grand flavor — and you'll
: like knowing that there’s less nicotine in
» the smoke (see below). |

Camels contains

than the average of the 4 other
largest-selling cigarettes tested—
less than any of them—according
to independent scientific tests
