For the first and only time in

To the Alumnae

the year, we are handing over the

keys of our city. We, who as undergraduates can enjoy the pleasures
of possession, are relinquishing them to you for the week-end. Because
time has unfairly prevented you from graduatifig later than 1938, you
_ have missed what we have barely time to know: how it feels to work in
the Science Building, to climb’ up three flights to a class in new Dal-

ton, and to live in Rhoads. Some

of us have not done any of these,

but we have grown up with the Science Building and Rhoads, we have
echoed through their empty corridors, and we are proud to be a part
of the enlarged pattern they make of academic life.

As alumnae you are part of a

greater Bryn Mawr pattern. You

have more right than we to Bryn Mawr’s new possessions because they

are your creation and your heritage.

We saw their birth and develop-

ment, but we did not plan them and work for them as you did. There-

fore we are glad when even for a

~
webk-end you can see Bryn Mawr

with the eyes of ownership, and we welcome you by giving you our

most valuable daily privilege.

cannot change and some of the same mistakes will probably still be
made, but the response has changed and undergraduates know now
that the Lantern has no real limitations and that it will not try to

impose any style on its contributors.

If they have been tempted

occasionally in the~past to adopt a brittle, self-conscious style, it was
because they were trying to conform to a standard which, never existed.

especially, should be fertile sources

Last year, the editors of the Lantern said that they

would rather have a bad idea which was W ell written than a good idea

which was badly written.

For this reason, they rejected some of the

Experimental Writing papers because of their very obvious technical

faults.

We think that there is a plethora of latent good ideas and that

aul they need is stimulation, encouragement and a little polishing. We

disapprove of bad ideas no matter

how polished they may be.

The Lantern, because it is creative, should be primarily experi-
mental, and if it is experimental should be willing to accept a certain

amount of natural inexperience.

Miss Josephine Petts has adopted |{
a new method of teaching posture
this year. She has taken movies of

fifteen students who are interested|

in improving their posture. They will
study their own movies, become aware
of their faults. and find a means to
overcome the difficulties. Emphasis,
is to be placed on the,fact that good
posture is not muscular, but a thing
of balance, imagination and rhythm.
Most of the work will be accomplished
through dancing since posture is not
static, but a matter of movement.
This past summer Miss Petts in-
structed dancing in.Salzburg. There
were three de Mawr girls there
who took part in the Salzburg fésti-
val. These were #onnie Allen, ’38,
Jane Ludwig, ’88, and Lydia: Lyman,
’39. Miss Petts has been in Austria
for the past ten summers and says
that in spite of political affairs the
atmosphere is as artistic as it has
always been.’

Geologists to Study

been subject. By avelling thi
evidence the geologists determine, ac-
cording to diverse theories, ‘how many
times this has happened, and when,
in relation to the established Pre-
Cambrian, Cambrian, and Ordovician
periods.

Miss Bascom, who founded the de-
partment at Bryn Mawr, was the first

woman geologist in the world. Hers| «

was the preliminary work in the study
of local crystalline rocks.

Two of Miss Bascom’s pupils, Miss
Anna Jonas and Mrs. Eleanor Knopf,
were responsible for some of the con-
troversial opinions that have ap-
peared: in the last forty years. The
widening general interest has brought
many new interpretations based on
increased evidence. In the light of
this controversy this year of directed
intensive study is ~very_apt. ~~

Mr. Watson has long been inter-
ested in the same problem. He
worked on it at Johns Hopkins, and
after coming here eight years ago he
found that following the latest theor-
ies, the region required remapping.

The twelve graduate students who
will attend this symposium have had
little such .experyénce with this type
of _problem.__Miss_Bascom will con-
sult on the project, and Miss Hietanen
and other experts on this type of
rock formation, besides Miss Wyckoff
and Mr. Watson, will lecture to the
seminars.

Among the graduate students is
the first man to be. accepted as candi-
date for a Bryn Mawr Ph.D. degree,
