Administrative Plans
For Their New Posts

#As Dean of the Graduate
School, I am planning to further |
the cooperation of: the Graduate
and Undergraduate Schools, which,
it seems: to:me, is one of the very
special things about Bryn Mawr,”
said Miss Taylor. A former mem-
ber of the Graduate School her-
self, Miss Taylor takes a particular
interest in it.

Miss Tayior plans to continue:
teaching at least half of the time,
in both graduate and undergradu-!







ate classes; teaching, she says, is)

still her chief interest. She will,
retain her post in the Latin De-|
partment. |
Since Miss Taylor has previously
been Acting Dean of the Graduate,
School, the routine is not new. to!
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.”

possible. The results are better if

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.

Italian religious paintings, such as
Duccio’s Calling of the Apostles
and Sassetta’s Meeting of St. An-

Mr. Sloane says in commenting
on this latest development, “In
times such as these, when small in-
stitutions like Haverford, Bryn
Mawr, and Swarthmore find it.none
too easy to meet the many demands
made upon them, it seems wise to
make the best possible use of fa-
cilities which do exist at any one
college. Since the facilities for
the study of the history of art are
extensive at Bryn Mawr, I am
delighted to have them used to
their fullest.”
